[singing]

Trey Gerrald: 00:00:32

Ooo, hello.

Chelsey Donn: 00:00:33

Hi.

Chelsey Donn: 00:00:34

It's so spooky being in the dark.

Trey Gerrald: 00:00:36

So Scary.

Trey Gerrald: 00:00:38

Hello everyone, welcome to Review that Review, the podcast dedicated to reviewing-

Chelsey Donn: 00:00:43

Reviews.

Chelsey Donn: 00:00:44

We're just like Siskel and Ebert, only instead of reviewing cinematic masterpieces, we rate

Trey Gerrald: 00:00:55

That's Chelsey Donn.

Chelsey Donn: 00:00:56

And that's Trey Gerrald.

Trey Gerrald: 00:00:57

And together, we are

VOICEOVER: 00:00:59

The Review Queens.

Trey Gerrald: 00:01:04

Happy Halloween Review Queens.

Trey Gerrald: 00:01:06

Chelsey and I are currently on our recording apparatus, which is called Zoom and we have our

Chelsey Donn: 00:01:18

Halloween.

Trey Gerrald: 00:01:19

Woo, all right, so we're gonna turn our screens on, you ready?

Chelsey Donn: 00:01:23

Okay, I'm ready.

Trey Gerrald: 00:01:25

Three, two, one, go.

Chelsey Donn: 00:01:30

Ah.

Trey Gerrald: 00:01:36

Ah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:01:36

[laughs]

Trey Gerrald: 00:01:36

Happy Halloween.

Chelsey Donn: 00:01:41

Oh my God, happy Halloween.

Chelsey Donn: 00:01:42

Trey, you're beautiful.

Trey Gerrald: 00:01:42

I can't see you, where are you?

Trey Gerrald: 00:01:44

Chelsey is dressed as Where's Waldo and I can't see her.

Chelsey Donn: 00:01:46

I know, I know, you're gonna have to keep looking, keep looking.

Chelsey Donn: 00:01:49

Here I am, here I am, look.

Chelsey Donn: 00:01:51

Okay, what I'm looking at is Trey dressed as Drew Barrymore from Scream but like way prettier.

Trey Gerrald: 00:01:59

I have my Jiffy Pop.

Chelsey Donn: 00:02:01

She has Jiffy Pop, she's on the phone, she's calling, like, he's in the house.

Trey Gerrald: 00:02:05

Is he behind me?

Chelsey Donn: 00:02:06

There he is.

Chelsey Donn: 00:02:07

Ah.

Trey Gerrald: 00:02:07

Ah.

Trey Gerrald: 00:02:08

Do you see, I hung the mask.

Trey Gerrald: 00:02:10

Do you see him?

Chelsey Donn: 00:02:10

Okay, first of all, let's talk about Trey for just one second

Chelsey Donn: 00:02:17

You guys-

Trey Gerrald: 00:02:17

Mm.

Chelsey Donn: 00:02:18

She's so beautiful.

Trey Gerrald: 00:02:20

[laughs]

Chelsey Donn: 00:02:20

She has a pink glow behind here.

Chelsey Donn: 00:02:24

There's like some sort of an LED light show happening behind Drew.

Trey Gerrald: 00:02:29

Well that's what I always have, but tonight it's red instead of white.

Chelsey Donn: 00:02:33

Right, but it's this like hot pink, sexy hot pink that just goes with the look so well

Chelsey Donn: 00:02:43

I'm like intimidated by your beauty.

Chelsey Donn: 00:02:45

I'm not even gonna lie.

Trey Gerrald: 00:02:47

Well I also have touch up your appearance on.

Chelsey Donn: 00:02:49

I mean, you guys, this is worth the Patreon alone, just so you can see

Chelsey Donn: 00:02:57

Like, is that a full lash?

Trey Gerrald: 00:02:59

It is.

Chelsey Donn: 00:02:59

I'm getting like flashbacks to that, when we did that lash review.

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:03

Like-

Trey Gerrald: 00:03:03

I have full lashes and I even have two little teeny babies on the bottom.

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:08

Oh my god, I love her.

Trey Gerrald: 00:03:11

I started getting ready for this recording four hours ago!

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:14

I was gonna say, you must have, I started getting ready for

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:22

Oh my God, Trey.

Trey Gerrald: 00:03:23

You look great.

Trey Gerrald: 00:03:24

So did you find the beanie?

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:25

I found the beanie.

Trey Gerrald: 00:03:27

Perfect.

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:28

She's, she's bobby pinned and there's a lot to negotiate 'cause we got a

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:33

You, you went head...

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:34

oh no, you got a fancy headset, oh, I like that.

Trey Gerrald: 00:03:36

Well, I put in these like old timey Apple-

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:39

Yes.

Trey Gerrald: 00:03:39

Headsets because this wig is too short, that I did attempt-

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:44

Yes.

Trey Gerrald: 00:03:44

To, um, put the headset on, but it sort of messed up the illusion, you know?

Trey Gerrald: 00:03:49

It's all about illusion.

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:50

I feel like I, I don't even know if I can refer to you as Trey in this episode.

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:54

Am I calling you Drew?

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:55

Like, I just, I feel like I have a new cohost.

Trey Gerrald: 00:03:59

Do you know what her name is in the movie?

Chelsey Donn: 00:04:00

I don't, I'm like really afraid of all scary movies, so I just...

Chelsey Donn: 00:04:04

I know the scene, but I-

Trey Gerrald: 00:04:06

Have you ever...

Trey Gerrald: 00:04:07

have you never seen Scream?

Chelsey Donn: 00:04:08

I've seen it, but I, I think I like closed my eyes through some of it and like-

Trey Gerrald: 00:04:13

Oh yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:04:13

Probably was distracted and not really paying attention

Chelsey Donn: 00:04:19

Like I'm not a horror movie girl.

Chelsey Donn: 00:04:21

I know the mask...

Chelsey Donn: 00:04:22

what's her name?

Chelsey Donn: 00:04:23

Sorry.

Trey Gerrald: 00:04:23

Her name is-

Chelsey Donn: 00:04:24

Weathers!

Trey Gerrald: 00:04:24

Ca- Casey Becker.

Trey Gerrald: 00:04:25

No, Gale Weathers, that's Courtney Cox's character.

Chelsey Donn: 00:04:28

[laughs] Oh, Casey.

Trey Gerrald: 00:04:31

'Casey?

Trey Gerrald: 00:04:32

Baby?' That's what the mom says when she sees her strung up in a tree, spoiler al- alert.

Chelsey Donn: 00:04:37

Oh.

Chelsey Donn: 00:04:37

It's okay, if y'all haven't see it by now.

Chelsey Donn: 00:04:39

And there's a knife, you guys, a bloody knife.

Trey Gerrald: 00:04:42

The blood.

Chelsey Donn: 00:04:42

Oh no sorry, but the blood is-

Trey Gerrald: 00:04:44

Rhinestones.

Chelsey Donn: 00:04:45

Did you bejewel that yourself?

Trey Gerrald: 00:04:47

I did.

Trey Gerrald: 00:04:48

You know this but I, I wanted to do...

Trey Gerrald: 00:04:50

I wanted to do the women of Scream, me and my husband and my dogs, family, we do

Trey Gerrald: 00:05:06

he didn't think they'd be recognizable.

Chelsey Donn: 00:05:08

Right.

Trey Gerrald: 00:05:08

So I decided.

Trey Gerrald: 00:05:08

Uh, I would just do it on my own.

Trey Gerrald: 00:05:08

So I did all of the women...

Trey Gerrald: 00:05:08

it's on my Instagram.

Trey Gerrald: 00:05:08

So yeah, so I did bedazzle this, oh, with, uh, two different color rhinestones.

Chelsey Donn: 00:05:18

You're se- yes I see it, 'cause it really makes it pop.

Trey Gerrald: 00:05:20

This was my hobby before I had, um, a podcast.

Trey Gerrald: 00:05:23

Speaking of-

Chelsey Donn: 00:05:25

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:05:26

[laughs]

Trey Gerrald: 00:05:26

Do you have any Halloween complaints?

Trey Gerrald: 00:05:29

'Cause I think that you should have the opportunity to-

VOICEOVER: 00:05:32

Lodge a Compliant.

Chelsey Donn: 00:05:33

You know when you have, like, a jar or a water bottle and it has like

Chelsey Donn: 00:05:45

Like it's, it's meant to keep it locked and closed and so that no water comes

Trey Gerrald: 00:05:48

Mm-hmm [affirmative].

Chelsey Donn: 00:05:48

But when they start to fall off, it's like a-

Trey Gerrald: 00:05:58

[laughs]

Chelsey Donn: 00:05:58

Downhill battle from there.

Chelsey Donn: 00:06:00

Like you, you just know it's near the end.

Trey Gerrald: 00:06:02

This is the internal, like, little liner piece inside-

Chelsey Donn: 00:06:06

Yes.

Trey Gerrald: 00:06:06

That keeps the suction going.

Chelsey Donn: 00:06:07

And then, like I, I bought this water bottle for Goldie that I love-

Trey Gerrald: 00:06:13

Mm.

Chelsey Donn: 00:06:13

It's amazing and it has this amazing contraption where basically you can, you can

Chelsey Donn: 00:06:26

Amazing but that, that thing is starting to come off and so sometimes it can't close-

Trey Gerrald: 00:06:32

Right.

Chelsey Donn: 00:06:33

Exactly the way that it's supposed to close and we've been having

Trey Gerrald: 00:06:42

I hear you, and the good thing about our Review That Review water bottles-

Chelsey Donn: 00:06:46

Yes.

Trey Gerrald: 00:06:46

Is that they're insulated and they don't have a separate little silicon piece.

Chelsey Donn: 00:06:50

No, there's no separate silicon piece.

Chelsey Donn: 00:06:53

This is all...

Chelsey Donn: 00:06:53

this is a two piece item that one person who is on our mailing list is going to win, so-

Trey Gerrald: 00:07:02

It is a great water bottle.

Trey Gerrald: 00:07:03

Uh, obviously it's our podcast, but every time I drink out of it, I get excited.

Chelsey Donn: 00:07:06

Yeah, it's true.

Chelsey Donn: 00:07:07

All right, Trey, what about you?

Trey Gerrald: 00:07:09

It's a good complaint, that is-

Chelsey Donn: 00:07:10

Thank you.

Trey Gerrald: 00:07:10

One of those things where it's like the shelf life of that

Chelsey Donn: 00:07:15

Yes.

Trey Gerrald: 00:07:15

Of this one little piece, which is really annoying.

Chelsey Donn: 00:07:18

And it's like perfect before then, you know?

Chelsey Donn: 00:07:20

So anyway, that's my complaint.

Chelsey Donn: 00:07:24

Let's get something off your chest.

Chelsey Donn: 00:07:26

What is it?

Chelsey Donn: 00:07:26

What's going on?

Trey Gerrald: 00:07:27

So, okay, so today, my complaint is...

Trey Gerrald: 00:07:31

I'm afraid it might be a little bit ageist, so-

Chelsey Donn: 00:07:34

Okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:07:34

My intention is not ageist, uh, attacks-

Chelsey Donn: 00:07:38

Okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:07:38

Something that really does annoy me is-

Chelsey Donn: 00:07:40

Mm-hmm [affirmative].

Trey Gerrald: 00:07:40

It's, it's usually something that occurs when you are over a certain age.

Trey Gerrald: 00:07:45

But not always.

Trey Gerrald: 00:07:46

It really bothers me when people keep the clicking sound on their iPhone when they're texting.

Chelsey Donn: 00:07:54

Oh my god.

Trey Gerrald: 00:07:54

So anytime you're next to someone and it's like...

Trey Gerrald: 00:07:57

it is so-

Chelsey Donn: 00:07:58

Oh my god.

Trey Gerrald: 00:07:59

That is so annoying.

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:00

Yes.

Trey Gerrald: 00:08:01

It does occur over like family gatherings-

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:04

Sure.

Trey Gerrald: 00:08:04

Where someone will be texting and it's like we're all on the

Trey Gerrald: 00:08:10

like it's not even a real thing, like that's a totally fake sound-

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:14

Right.

Trey Gerrald: 00:08:14

To emulate keyboards-

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:16

A typewriter.

Trey Gerrald: 00:08:16

Which is, right, which was originally the type writer-

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:19

Right.

Trey Gerrald: 00:08:19

Which actually made the sounds because it was hitting

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:22

Right.

Trey Gerrald: 00:08:23

So it just...

Trey Gerrald: 00:08:23

it really serves no point.

Trey Gerrald: 00:08:25

There's no reason to have it.

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:26

Yeah, I was gonna say, I mean you brought it up, but like I was gonna say you

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:34

Like I must turn it off immediately."

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:36

Like I, like will not do anything else until I get this setting off.

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:40

My god, that's annoying.

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:42

But to them, it's not so annoying, and, and it's also like too many steps to turn it off.

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:46

Why don't you just le- like what do you think...

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:48

is there anybody that's really getting enjoyment out of it?

Trey Gerrald: 00:08:51

I, um, so I will say, there is something pleasurable about the sound.

Trey Gerrald: 00:08:56

I'm also a person that finds gasoline to smell good, even though that's not-

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:59

Sure.

Trey Gerrald: 00:09:00

You know, not really a go- pleasant smell.

Trey Gerrald: 00:09:02

Like, there is something satisfying about the clicking.

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:04

Sure.

Trey Gerrald: 00:09:05

But, when it's not your phone and you have nothing to do with

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:12

Random clicking?

Trey Gerrald: 00:09:13

Gosh it really bothers me.

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:14

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald: 00:09:15

So, um, I've had that on my list for awhile and I've been a little concerned about

Trey Gerrald: 00:09:22

I don't know about you.

Trey Gerrald: 00:09:23

It, it does occur to me as a nuisance, and so I have to lodge it and put it in our ledger of

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:30

Yes, it's, it's, it's been heard and it's also been notated that it

Trey Gerrald: 00:09:36

Okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:09:37

Then we're good.

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:38

Yup.

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:38

Okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:09:39

Well here we are, should we, should we, um, jump into our

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:53

I think we definitely should and do you think that we should both

Trey Gerrald: 00:10:03

Oh that's good.

Trey Gerrald: 00:10:04

We'll do, yeah, well yes.

Trey Gerrald: 00:10:05

I have, I have a lot of Halloween stories that I can share.

Trey Gerrald: 00:10:07

I'm very into Halloween.

Chelsey Donn: 00:10:08

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:10:09

Okay.

Chelsey Donn: 00:10:09

I mean, I have one that I'm thinking of, so just wanted to like take this opportunity to say if

Trey Gerrald: 00:10:20

I love that.

Trey Gerrald: 00:10:21

Okay, well, should we jump into some online reviews, Chelsey dear?

Chelsey Donn: 00:10:26

I think we should, am I first today?

Trey Gerrald: 00:10:28

You are.

Chelsey Donn: 00:10:29

Oh my God, yay, I feel like I haven't been first in awhile, but I

Trey Gerrald: 00:10:34

Ah.

Trey Gerrald: 00:10:34

[laughs]

Chelsey Donn: 00:10:35

[laughs] All right.

Chelsey Donn: 00:10:37

As you guys know, we are your trusty Review Queens, we each bring in a review from the

Trey Gerrald: 00:10:44

We read you the review, we break it down and rate the impact of the

Trey Gerrald: 00:10:51

It's a very regal process that we call

VOICEOVER: 00:10:54

Assess That Kvetch!

Trey Gerrald: 00:10:56

And obviously we're gonna be Halloween theme today and Chelsey girl-

Chelsey Donn: 00:11:01

[laughs] Yes.

Trey Gerrald: 00:11:02

Take it away RQ.

VOICEOVER: 00:11:06

Review that Review.

Chelsey Donn: 00:11:09

Okay.

Chelsey Donn: 00:11:10

Do we wanna talk about how we picked the same review or do we wanna wait until I read mine?

Chelsey Donn: 00:11:15

[laughs]

Trey Gerrald: 00:11:15

So, you know, we have discussed this before, we don't share what

Trey Gerrald: 00:11:26

So, today-

Chelsey Donn: 00:11:27

[laughs]

Trey Gerrald: 00:11:28

We realized that Chelsey and I both picked the same-

Chelsey Donn: 00:11:32

Independently.

Trey Gerrald: 00:11:33

Independently on our 21st episode.

Chelsey Donn: 00:11:35

We did it.

Trey Gerrald: 00:11:36

We picked the same exact review.

Trey Gerrald: 00:11:37

So I'm curious to see if it was the same review.

Chelsey Donn: 00:11:39

I am so curious to hear 'cause I wanna say I looked a long time and I, I

Trey Gerrald: 00:11:50

Great.

Chelsey Donn: 00:11:51

Muy Malo, M-U-Y M-A-L-O.

Chelsey Donn: 00:11:57

Now, you know, I only took like three or four years of Spanish I wanna say, in college,

Chelsey Donn: 00:12:04

So, is Muy Malo, muy malo, um, or muy bueno?

Chelsey Donn: 00:12:10

I think we will have to listen to the review to find out.

Chelsey Donn: 00:12:13

It's a one star review of Ruby's Giant Inflatable Dinosaur Suit Costume.

Chelsey Donn: 00:12:22

Okay.

Chelsey Donn: 00:12:24

If you'd like to experience the horror of having a large plastic bag stuck

Chelsey Donn: 00:12:33

Seriously, this is a huge suffocation hazard.

Chelsey Donn: 00:12:37

The tiny fan barely pumps enough air to keep the plastic off your body.

Chelsey Donn: 00:12:44

Getting into the costume is only slightly easier than trying to extract yourself from

Chelsey Donn: 00:12:58

Imagine trying to look through a plastic storage bin from Walmart, but then skew the

Trey Gerrald: 00:13:07

[laughs]

Chelsey Donn: 00:13:09

Upon dawning the garment, anyone even remotely warm blooded begins to

Chelsey Donn: 00:13:23

Feeling claustrophobic yet?

Chelsey Donn: 00:13:25

You haven't even put your feet on, which guess what?

Chelsey Donn: 00:13:28

You can't reach because bending over isn't really possible.

Chelsey Donn: 00:13:34

Your cries to 'take this infernal theropod off me' cannot be heard.

Chelsey Donn: 00:13:41

Your voice has been dampened by thick plastic.

Trey Gerrald: 00:13:45

Oh my god.

Chelsey Donn: 00:13:45

And your movements are limited to thrashing like someone

Chelsey Donn: 00:13:52

You can't see out of it, so the antics of stumbling around seem very cheery to your

Chelsey Donn: 00:14:07

The thin air further blocks your vision and the amazingly loud motor begins to let off a

Chelsey Donn: 00:14:23

Once you actually fall, from lack of air, your friends should figure out something's wrong, lean

Chelsey Donn: 00:14:33

They will then pull you limp from the T-Rex encased in the afterbirth of your

Chelsey Donn: 00:14:46

Congrats, you purchased an inflatable T-rex costume.

Chelsey Donn: 00:14:51

Seriously, this thing is awful.

Chelsey Donn: 00:14:57

Don't purchase it.

Trey Gerrald: 00:15:01

Oh.

Trey Gerrald: 00:15:02

Muy Malo.

Chelsey Donn: 00:15:03

Muy Malo had a muy malo experience.

Trey Gerrald: 00:15:06

I did not find this review.

Chelsey Donn: 00:15:08

Oh really?

Trey Gerrald: 00:15:09

Okay, Muy Malo, I actually really do appreciate this review because-

Chelsey Donn: 00:15:13

Yes.

Trey Gerrald: 00:15:13

They bring up a lot of points I was, I was curious what the experience

Chelsey Donn: 00:15:21

Correct.

Trey Gerrald: 00:15:21

Would be, so I actually really do appreciate the context,

Trey Gerrald: 00:15:28

That was my main question-

Chelsey Donn: 00:15:29

Yes.

Trey Gerrald: 00:15:29

If this was like this little like plastic square to see out of in the, like, chest,

Chelsey Donn: 00:15:41

Gross.

Trey Gerrald: 00:15:41

Too much.

Chelsey Donn: 00:15:42

Right.

Chelsey Donn: 00:15:43

And then also, the, the fact that you're in...

Chelsey Donn: 00:15:45

well just so you know, that's why I was searching for four hours for, like, this

Trey Gerrald: 00:15:58

[laughs]

Chelsey Donn: 00:15:58

Like you got...

Chelsey Donn: 00:15:59

first of all you're humongous, so you can't even like, turn to get a crudités item or

Chelsey Donn: 00:16:15

it just seemed terrible to me and I wanted someone to walk me through that experience.

Chelsey Donn: 00:16:19

And this was the first person that I found that, that did that.

Chelsey Donn: 00:16:23

Another thought that I had about Muy Malo was now I definitely felt like they were giving us

Chelsey Donn: 00:16:33

That being said, pretty good.

Chelsey Donn: 00:16:35

You know, like, I've seen a lot of open mic comics that have had worse material than this.

Chelsey Donn: 00:16:40

I think they were definitely trying to give us humor.

Chelsey Donn: 00:16:42

Now, my, my question about the humor, because I, it's there and it was with intention, do

Trey Gerrald: 00:16:54

I, I appreciate that you're bringing this up 'cause I, I actually

Chelsey Donn: 00:17:04

Right, same.

Trey Gerrald: 00:17:05

Like I thought that was really funny.

Trey Gerrald: 00:17:07

But then when it got to like-

Trey Gerrald: 00:17:08

Yes.

Trey Gerrald: 00:17:08

Then you're gonna, like, fall over and then your friends gonna unzip you

Chelsey Donn: 00:17:12

Right.

Trey Gerrald: 00:17:12

And then you're gonna feel stupid, that I sort of felt like, uh, now you're like-

Chelsey Donn: 00:17:17

Yeah, that's what I mean by the open mic comedy bit.

Chelsey Donn: 00:17:19

It's like we got this, like, funny bit and then we just decided to keep building on it,

Trey Gerrald: 00:17:25

I guess my, my thought is like I'm not coming to the review

Chelsey Donn: 00:17:32

Right.

Trey Gerrald: 00:17:32

And I do think the impact of the review would be stronger if

Chelsey Donn: 00:17:38

[laughs] Yes.

Trey Gerrald: 00:17:39

Because it didn't occur to me that the friend would have to unzip you.

Chelsey Donn: 00:17:42

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald: 00:17:43

I guess you can't zip yourself up, that you have to have someone do that, right?

Chelsey Donn: 00:17:48

Well, yeah, you can't unzip yourself when you're in there.

Chelsey Donn: 00:17:50

Like, god forbid you should need to go to the bathroom and you're

Chelsey Donn: 00:17:54

Like, it's just, it just seems like such a high liability Halloween costume, you know?

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:01

It on- it just seems thoroughly impractical.

Chelsey Donn: 00:18:03

Yes.

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:03

It seems like it would be funny outside-

Chelsey Donn: 00:18:06

Right.

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:07

I cannot imagine going to a Halloween party-

Chelsey Donn: 00:18:09

[laughs]

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:09

You can't do, you can't do it.

Chelsey Donn: 00:18:11

No, you can't.

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:12

I really am like taken by this review.

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:14

The va- it really is valuable to me because they really walk through all of

Chelsey Donn: 00:18:20

Right.

Chelsey Donn: 00:18:21

Yes.

Chelsey Donn: 00:18:21

They really do.

Chelsey Donn: 00:18:22

Like everything about this review would make me not want to be in this.

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:26

It makes me feel very sticky.

Chelsey Donn: 00:18:28

Yes.

Chelsey Donn: 00:18:29

It makes me feel very claustrophobic.

Chelsey Donn: 00:18:31

"Feeling claustrophobic yet?"

Chelsey Donn: 00:18:32

Yes, yes I am.

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:34

They said that it is ten pounds of plastic.

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:36

That can't be accurate.

Chelsey Donn: 00:18:38

I think it can.

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:40

Really?

Chelsey Donn: 00:18:41

I do because a lot of the reviews for these inflatables talked about how the pumps

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:49

Yeah, I saw those too.

Chelsey Donn: 00:18:50

And that to me would lead me to believe that it must be quite heavy and

Chelsey Donn: 00:19:01

I, I think that that's not so crazy.

Trey Gerrald: 00:19:04

I also came across a lot of reviews saying that the zipper broke

Chelsey Donn: 00:19:10

Same, I came across those, too.

Trey Gerrald: 00:19:12

Did you come across any pictures of people that had to duct tape holes closed?

Chelsey Donn: 00:19:16

Yes.

Trey Gerrald: 00:19:16

'Cause that's the most hilarious part.

Chelsey Donn: 00:19:18

I did, especially the ones that were, uh, I know we're getting

Trey Gerrald: 00:19:26

Yes.

Chelsey Donn: 00:19:27

My child was crying and like all I could do was duct tape his tears away, you know?

Trey Gerrald: 00:19:32

I do think if, if, when we have our first live show, we both have

Trey Gerrald: 00:19:38

I think it's been decided.

Chelsey Donn: 00:19:39

Oh my god.

Trey Gerrald: 00:19:40

Even though I do think that the, I do think that this

Chelsey Donn: 00:19:44

Yes.

Trey Gerrald: 00:19:45

I do think that Muy Malo is being truthful.

Trey Gerrald: 00:19:48

The humor isn't really there.

Trey Gerrald: 00:19:50

I mean it's sort of like, uh, uh, it's not really that funny to me.

Trey Gerrald: 00:19:53

I find this to be incredibly valuable, and I think the impact is that...

Trey Gerrald: 00:19:58

I mean, I think it's just kind of fun and crazy to like-

Chelsey Donn: 00:20:00

Yes.

Trey Gerrald: 00:20:01

Be in this air inflatable thing.

Trey Gerrald: 00:20:03

But, what is the spelling grammar like?

Chelsey Donn: 00:20:06

Spelling grammar is excellent.

Chelsey Donn: 00:20:07

Really, really solid I'd say.

Chelsey Donn: 00:20:09

In fact, they, they use like some significant words I didn't even really

Chelsey Donn: 00:20:16

I don't even know what a theropod is.

Chelsey Donn: 00:20:17

Is that bad?

Trey Gerrald: 00:20:18

I didn't know what that was either, no.

Chelsey Donn: 00:20:20

Okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:20:21

Well-

Chelsey Donn: 00:20:21

I think I can crown it.

Trey Gerrald: 00:20:22

I think I can crown this too, yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:20:24

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:20:25

Let's do it.

Trey Gerrald: 00:20:25

All right, so Chelsey and I each have our own set of one to five

VOICEOVER: 00:20:39

The Queens are Tabulating.

Trey Gerrald: 00:20:41

I'm ready, you ready?

Chelsey Donn: 00:20:42

Okay, I'm ready.

VOICEOVER: 00:20:47

Total Score.

Trey Gerrald: 00:20:49

Tie.

Chelsey Donn: 00:20:50

Okay, tie, ta- ta- [laughs] Trey and I are both holding up four crowns.

Chelsey Donn: 00:20:56

All right, Trey, let us know, why did you decide four crowns for Muy Malo?

Trey Gerrald: 00:21:01

I mean, I really found this to be a thoroughly valuable, well written review.

Chelsey Donn: 00:21:07

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald: 00:21:08

The comedy is where it lost me.

Trey Gerrald: 00:21:10

I wanted to do...

Trey Gerrald: 00:21:10

I almost did four and a half, but eh, I do, I, I really believe the review, I

Chelsey Donn: 00:21:18

Right.

Trey Gerrald: 00:21:19

I just...

Trey Gerrald: 00:21:20

because they attempted humor and I, and personally felt it fall flat-

Chelsey Donn: 00:21:24

Right.

Trey Gerrald: 00:21:25

I decided to go with four.

Trey Gerrald: 00:21:26

I took one crown away for that.

Trey Gerrald: 00:21:28

What about you?

Trey Gerrald: 00:21:29

Why did you say four?

Chelsey Donn: 00:21:30

I said four because I thought, like you, like you actually brought up

Chelsey Donn: 00:21:37

Stick to the narrative.

Chelsey Donn: 00:21:38

Like we can, we can still put in jokes and keep it to what actually happened and I think the

Trey Gerrald: 00:22:06

Fair, yeah, I agree.

Chelsey Donn: 00:22:08

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald: 00:22:09

All right.

Trey Gerrald: 00:22:09

Very fun.

Trey Gerrald: 00:22:11

Well-

Chelsey Donn: 00:22:11

Thanks.

Trey Gerrald: 00:22:11

Chelsey Donn: 00:24:51

Okay.

VOICEOVER: 00:24:52

I don't feel like an icon.

VOICEOVER: 00:24:54

Most of the days I feel like I can't.

VOICEOVER: 00:24:58

That's with an A.

Chelsey Donn: 00:24:59

[laughs] Hi, okay, [laughs] sorry.

Chelsey Donn: 00:25:05

I just got lost in your beautiful eyes.

Chelsey Donn: 00:25:07

Okay, so Trey and I have each picked a rotten, scathing, pithy one star zinger

Trey Gerrald: 00:25:20

Just like Queen Meryl who does it all.

Chelsey Donn: 00:25:22

Has she done a halloween movie?

Chelsey Donn: 00:25:23

I don't know.

Chelsey Donn: 00:25:24

Before the clock runs out.

Trey Gerrald: 00:25:26

Death Becomes Her.

Chelsey Donn: 00:25:27

Oh yeah, that's true.

Chelsey Donn: 00:25:28

Death Becomes Her, duh.

Chelsey Donn: 00:25:29

And Goldie Hawn, you know?

Chelsey Donn: 00:25:31

Goldie, Goldie.

Trey Gerrald: 00:25:32

That's right.

Chelsey Donn: 00:25:32

Anyway, all right Trey, where is your one star zinger from today?

Trey Gerrald: 00:25:37

Okay, I have two and I'm really not sure which one to pick.

Trey Gerrald: 00:25:41

I'm gonna move my mouse around until I pick.

Chelsey Donn: 00:25:45

Okay.

Chelsey Donn: 00:25:46

I think that on this Halloween themed Meryl Go Round, 'cause you showed it to me and I

Chelsey Donn: 00:25:54

I feel like in a really, like, fierce way, you're riding like a giant version of

Chelsey Donn: 00:26:05

And you're like just this bad ass riding on this knife, like yeah, stay

Trey Gerrald: 00:26:12

Would you call me a Scream Queen?

Chelsey Donn: 00:26:15

I would say you are undeniably a Scream Queen riding on that fancy bedazzled knife.

Trey Gerrald: 00:26:22

Okay, so-

Chelsey Donn: 00:26:23

[laughs]

Trey Gerrald: 00:26:23

My review today is from Amazon dot com, this is a one star review from Jennifer R.

Chelsey Donn: 00:26:33

Okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:26:33

And this is, um, I'll tell you what it is, but the subject is "Not as described."

Chelsey Donn: 00:26:38

[laughs] Okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:26:38

And this is for, also Rubies.

Chelsey Donn: 00:26:40

Trey Gerrald: 00:26:41

Rubies Secret Wishes Women's Nightmare on Elm

Chelsey Donn: 00:26:51

Oh wow.

Trey Gerrald: 00:26:52

So this is a sexy Freddie Kreugar costume for a woman.

Chelsey Donn: 00:26:55

Okay, sure.

Trey Gerrald: 00:26:56

Jennifer R, one star review, subject is "not as described", and the

Chelsey Donn: 00:27:04

[laughs]

Trey Gerrald: 00:27:05

[laughs] Because it's a slutty Freddie Kreugar shirt dress.

Chelsey Donn: 00:27:09

Right.

Trey Gerrald: 00:27:10

Alright.

Chelsey Donn: 00:27:11

Okay, Trey, do you feel ready?

Chelsey Donn: 00:28:02

Would I, do I feel generous today on this All Hallow's eve?

Chelsey Donn: 00:28:05

Okay, fine.

Trey Gerrald: 00:28:06

Like three days ago, I was in the shower and I was thinking about how I get stuck

Chelsey Donn: 00:28:15

Hey, I'm walking here.

Trey Gerrald: 00:28:17

And like say that in, say that in your head and then you'll be

Chelsey Donn: 00:28:23

Yeah, it's really the clock that does it.

Chelsey Donn: 00:28:24

It's not that you're not able to.

Chelsey Donn: 00:28:24

First of all, you cashed in six with opera diva, so that is-

Trey Gerrald: 00:28:24

Okay.

Chelsey Donn: 00:28:24

Excellent, Trey.

Trey Gerrald: 00:28:24

Thank you.

Chelsey Donn: 00:28:24

And I just wanted to say quickly, you know, um, that that's really

Trey Gerrald: 00:28:42

Oh.

Chelsey Donn: 00:28:42

Is in order to do a language you, think of one sentence or

Chelsey Donn: 00:28:50

Good job.

Trey Gerrald: 00:28:50

Ah, just, uh, call me an accent expert.

Chelsey Donn: 00:28:51

[laughs] I'm just gonna, I'm just gonna send you your MFA in the mail, okay?

Trey Gerrald: 00:28:51

Oh great, thank you.

Trey Gerrald: 00:28:51

That was easy.

Chelsey Donn: 00:28:55

[laughs]

Trey Gerrald: 00:28:55

All right, Chels.

Trey Gerrald: 00:28:59

What is your zinger for today?

Chelsey Donn: 00:29:01

All right, I'm so glad you asked.

Chelsey Donn: 00:29:04

My zinger is for Stranger Things, the Drive Into Experience in Los Angeles.

Trey Gerrald: 00:29:11

Ooo.

Chelsey Donn: 00:29:13

Yeah, this zinger is written by Nicole M.

Chelsey Donn: 00:29:17

Is it okay if in this context, I give away her whole name?

Trey Gerrald: 00:29:21

Sure.

Chelsey Donn: 00:29:21

I think it's fine.

Chelsey Donn: 00:29:22

She, I don't know if she's listening.

Chelsey Donn: 00:29:23

Her name is Nicole Mary Jane.

Trey Gerrald: 00:29:27

[laughs]

Chelsey Donn: 00:29:27

Okay?

Trey Gerrald: 00:29:28

Okay.

Chelsey Donn: 00:29:29

You'll see why and her one star zinger for this Stranger

Chelsey Donn: 00:29:39

Chelsey Donn: 00:29:41

Unprofessional!"

Trey Gerrald: 00:29:42

So was it marijuana?

Chelsey Donn: 00:29:44

For sure.

Trey Gerrald: 00:29:45

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:29:45

Right?

Trey Gerrald: 00:29:46

Oh my, it's kind of long.

Chelsey Donn: 00:29:47

It's...

Chelsey Donn: 00:29:47

this is a long one, I know.

Trey Gerrald: 00:29:49

I just, I am so not a...

Trey Gerrald: 00:29:51

I mean I, I can do a haunted hay ride, that pushes it.

Trey Gerrald: 00:29:53

I can't do any sort of like haunted house thing, so like doing that stoned, no.

Trey Gerrald: 00:29:59

I mean it's just like-

Chelsey Donn: 00:30:00

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald: 00:30:00

Even worse for me.

Chelsey Donn: 00:30:01

Well it's LA, I mean, like I'm not surprised.

Trey Gerrald: 00:30:03

Right.

Chelsey Donn: 00:30:03

But it's just pretty funny that they're like, "Our medicine."

Chelsey Donn: 00:30:06

Trey Gerrald: 00:30:06

Mary Jane.

Chelsey Donn: 00:30:06

Trey Gerrald: 00:30:18

Yeah, he's married to Wanda.

Chelsey Donn: 00:30:20

Oh yeah, maybe I knew that.

Trey Gerrald: 00:30:21

And they have a dog, I forget the dog's name.

Trey Gerrald: 00:30:22

Trey Gerrald: 00:30:30

You're strapped in on the walking cane.

Chelsey Donn: 00:30:32

I ho- I was like hoping you were gonna say that 'cause I didn't bring it today, so.

Trey Gerrald: 00:30:37

So, all right, here you go, are you ready?

Chelsey Donn: 00:30:39

Trey Gerrald: 00:31:36

Thank you.

Trey Gerrald: 00:31:37

VOICEOVER: 00:31:45

Review that Review.

Chelsey Donn: 00:31:49

All right.

Chelsey Donn: 00:31:50

We are back from that rousing game break and it's your turn, Trey, who has his Jiffy Pop ready.

Chelsey Donn: 00:31:57

Where's your review form this week, Trey?

Trey Gerrald: 00:31:59

Well, about, um, two hours ago I was gonna do a review from Amazon-

Chelsey Donn: 00:32:03

[laughs]

Trey Gerrald: 00:32:03

For an inflatable dinosaur.

Trey Gerrald: 00:32:05

But, um, I also found this other review, so-

Chelsey Donn: 00:32:08

Okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:32:08

And I'm happy with it.

Trey Gerrald: 00:32:09

Today I'm going to be doing a review from Yelp.

Chelsey Donn: 00:32:11

Okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:32:12

This is one star, for Abracadabra, NYC.

Trey Gerrald: 00:32:18

Abracadabra is this like ginormous multilevel...

Trey Gerrald: 00:32:21

I think it's a Halloween store, but it's also like-

Chelsey Donn: 00:32:24

It's like a year round costume store.

Trey Gerrald: 00:32:27

Costume, makeup.

Chelsey Donn: 00:32:28

That really amps up around halloween.

Trey Gerrald: 00:32:31

But it feels spooky and Halloweeny, but is like a permanent,

Chelsey Donn: 00:32:37

Correct.

Trey Gerrald: 00:32:38

In Manhattan.

Trey Gerrald: 00:32:39

So, one star review, this is from Mariana L.

Chelsey Donn: 00:32:43

Okay, Mariana.

Chelsey Donn: 00:32:45

Okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:32:47

This huge costume and prop emporium recently changed management

Trey Gerrald: 00:32:56

As you walk into the entrance, everything around you looks like it has been sitting

Trey Gerrald: 00:33:08

I asked for pith helmets and someone who clearly neither speaks English nor understands it goes

Trey Gerrald: 00:33:28

After about 30 minutes of frustration and looking around the store myself, I try to ask the manager

Chelsey Donn: 00:33:39

[laughs]

Trey Gerrald: 00:33:40

He has been on the phone the entire time for what seems to be

Chelsey Donn: 00:33:49

[laughs]

Trey Gerrald: 00:33:49

Pausing only to tell another potential customer that a used, broken, disco

Trey Gerrald: 00:34:01

I inquired about a specific item I saw on their website that I had

Trey Gerrald: 00:34:08

The Tony poseur tells me that the site and the store aren't the same thing,

Trey Gerrald: 00:34:21

Finally, I see something that slightly resembles a pith helmet and inquire about it.

Trey Gerrald: 00:34:27

It turns out to be really used, missing parts, broken, and unusable.

Trey Gerrald: 00:34:34

Even so, this douche bag has the nerve to tell me that I can quote, unquote, have

Trey Gerrald: 00:34:44

I couldn't spend money here if I shot it up that loser's ass with a two headed-

Chelsey Donn: 00:34:50

[laughs]

Trey Gerrald: 00:34:50

Dildo.

Trey Gerrald: 00:34:53

I apologize for being so crass.

Trey Gerrald: 00:34:55

If you read my other reviews, you will see that this review is a huge departure

Trey Gerrald: 00:35:09

The good news, I ended up finding brand new, great looking pith helmets at

Trey Gerrald: 00:35:17

The other store's staff was very helpful, nice, and conducted themselves with class.

Trey Gerrald: 00:35:26

Also, the much more superior and brand new product was $15.

Chelsey Donn: 00:35:35

Whooo, wow, wow, Mariana.

Chelsey Donn: 00:35:38

Okay.

Chelsey Donn: 00:35:39

Wow.

Chelsey Donn: 00:35:40

So, first of all, my, my first issue with the review that I'll just bring up-

Trey Gerrald: 00:35:44

Yes?

Chelsey Donn: 00:35:45

What the heck is a pith helmet?

Trey Gerrald: 00:35:47

I gotta look it up 'cause I don't know either.

Chelsey Donn: 00:35:49

Like for...

Chelsey Donn: 00:35:50

the most frustrating thing about this review to me is like you're making it seem

Chelsey Donn: 00:36:02

I mean, I understand, helmets, hats, like that, that seems like that could be where it would be.

Chelsey Donn: 00:36:07

Like-

Trey Gerrald: 00:36:07

Oh.

Chelsey Donn: 00:36:08

If they don't know what it is, why, why are they not explaining it to us, even like

Trey Gerrald: 00:36:15

So, a pith helmet is a safari helmet.

Trey Gerrald: 00:36:18

Do you know like the villain in Jumanji?

Chelsey Donn: 00:36:21

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald: 00:36:22

Like that the dad plays, you know, like in Peter Pan.

Chelsey Donn: 00:36:24

So why wouldn't that be with like hats?

Chelsey Donn: 00:36:26

That doesn't seem so odd to me that that would be-

Trey Gerrald: 00:36:28

I agree with you.

Chelsey Donn: 00:36:29

In the hat section.

Trey Gerrald: 00:36:30

It would be in the hat section you would think.

Chelsey Donn: 00:36:32

I just think that's so weird.

Chelsey Donn: 00:36:34

Like a very odd thing to attack, you know?

Chelsey Donn: 00:36:37

And then, what do you think about the fact that the store...

Chelsey Donn: 00:36:41

god, so many things, the store has the separate online in store relationship and the fact that...

Chelsey Donn: 00:36:46

does it seem like Mariann called and asked like, "Hey, I saw this thing online,

Chelsey Donn: 00:36:52

And then all of the sudden they were trying to claim no affiliation?

Trey Gerrald: 00:36:55

Well the, I was confused about that because it's confusing to me

Chelsey Donn: 00:37:00

Right, same.

Chelsey Donn: 00:37:01

I mean, it, it kind of makes a little bit of sense because especially if

Trey Gerrald: 00:37:09

Right.

Chelsey Donn: 00:37:09

Maybe they've taken that off site, they've put it in a warehouse,

Chelsey Donn: 00:37:15

That doesn't seem so weird to me.

Trey Gerrald: 00:37:17

Right.

Chelsey Donn: 00:37:17

I mean, I just think Mariana was mean in this review, and I know that they wanted

Chelsey Donn: 00:37:40

Did you notice that?

Trey Gerrald: 00:37:41

Yes.

Chelsey Donn: 00:37:42

Like, all the sudden we got this prologue to what happened after you

Chelsey Donn: 00:37:50

I don't know, I, I don't know if this would make me not buy something at

Trey Gerrald: 00:37:58

It's interesting to me because the description of it looking like everything

Chelsey Donn: 00:38:07

Okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:38:07

It does have a feeling of, like, if you get a ba- a costume off the rack that's

Chelsey Donn: 00:38:17

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald: 00:38:17

That doesn't seem that out of bounds for me.

Chelsey Donn: 00:38:20

Right.

Trey Gerrald: 00:38:21

Um, from my experience having been there.

Trey Gerrald: 00:38:22

Also, I do think the disco balls are always outrageously experience.

Trey Gerrald: 00:38:26

But ma- Mariana really goes through like so many things are broken or-

Chelsey Donn: 00:38:31

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald: 00:38:32

Like pre-used.

Chelsey Donn: 00:38:33

Yeah, similar to the guy that was staying at the hotel

Chelsey Donn: 00:38:37

It's like are you an inspection officer, like going through each item

Chelsey Donn: 00:38:44

They, they were bragging about the other store and how it was brand new.

Chelsey Donn: 00:38:47

So that was, that's like my point, I guess, for what you were just saying is

Trey Gerrald: 00:38:54

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:38:54

This is very old, in fact, I had a very negative [laughs] situation working

Chelsey Donn: 00:39:24

Like, it was like a nightmare.

Chelsey Donn: 00:39:26

Yeah, so-

Trey Gerrald: 00:39:27

There, so there was another Abracadabra review that was like two sentences-

Chelsey Donn: 00:39:31

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald: 00:39:31

But it said, "A spider crawled out of this wig."

Chelsey Donn: 00:39:34

[laughs] Yeah, so I don't know.

Trey Gerrald: 00:39:37

I, I believe that this experience happened.

Chelsey Donn: 00:39:40

Right.

Trey Gerrald: 00:39:41

I do think that there's something going on emotionally with Mariana-

Chelsey Donn: 00:39:46

Yes.

Trey Gerrald: 00:39:46

That they went from zero to 100 so quickly-

Chelsey Donn: 00:39:49

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald: 00:39:50

Even though they've prefaced that this is out of character for them, but-

Chelsey Donn: 00:39:53

Agreed.

Trey Gerrald: 00:39:53

To mention a double headed dildo-

Chelsey Donn: 00:39:56

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:39:57

Bizarre.

Trey Gerrald: 00:39:57

As like a punishment, like, dildos are not for punishment, so that's already

Chelsey Donn: 00:40:12

And also, like, comparing him to Tony Soprano, like the whole thing

Trey Gerrald: 00:40:17

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:40:18

Offensive.

Trey Gerrald: 00:40:18

Also-

Chelsey Donn: 00:40:19

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald: 00:40:20

They're a hypocrite because the epilogue says that the other

Trey Gerrald: 00:40:25

Well it doesn't seem like Mariana is very classy in the way that they

Chelsey Donn: 00:40:31

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald: 00:40:31

Look alike.

Chelsey Donn: 00:40:32

Look alike.

Chelsey Donn: 00:40:33

Yeah, I just, I didn't, I didn't like their whole thing and I think that it's unfortunate when

Chelsey Donn: 00:40:47

Don't expect it, don't expect things to not be broken because they're vintage and

Chelsey Donn: 00:40:54

Um, if you have different expectations, go elsewhere, but that message really gets muddied.

Trey Gerrald: 00:40:58

Especially with the indignation that someone didn't know what a pith helmet is.

Chelsey Donn: 00:41:02

Right.

Trey Gerrald: 00:41:02

I understand that like this is a costume place and so you would think that

Chelsey Donn: 00:41:10

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald: 00:41:10

But I don't know, I feel like if I was looking for something that specific,

Chelsey Donn: 00:41:18

Totally agree.

Trey Gerrald: 00:41:19

The spelling here is kind of funny.

Trey Gerrald: 00:41:21

Like-

Chelsey Donn: 00:41:21

Okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:41:22

I'm curious, maybe Mariana is not from the United States-

Chelsey Donn: 00:41:25

Okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:41:25

Because they say the Tony poser is spelled P-O-S-E-U-R.

Chelsey Donn: 00:41:32

Oh interesting.

Trey Gerrald: 00:41:32

Seems very British to me.

Chelsey Donn: 00:41:33

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:41:34

Or maybe Canadian, I don't know.

Trey Gerrald: 00:41:35

I also loved when they say that the person went behind a velvet rope,

Chelsey Donn: 00:41:42

[laughs]

Trey Gerrald: 00:41:42

Like that's so funny, like-

Chelsey Donn: 00:41:44

Right, right, right, right.

Trey Gerrald: 00:41:45

Like a nonverbal like ah, exclamation mark.

Chelsey Donn: 00:41:48

Yeah, they definitely seem like they, they played around

Trey Gerrald: 00:41:53

I don't know, the value here, I don't think it's a deal breaker for me

Chelsey Donn: 00:42:06

100%.

Trey Gerrald: 00:42:07

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald: 00:42:07

I don't know about that.

Trey Gerrald: 00:42:09

I would not hang this on my fridge.

Chelsey Donn: 00:42:11

I would definitely not hang this on my fridge.

Chelsey Donn: 00:42:13

Do you think we're ready to crown Mariana?

Trey Gerrald: 00:42:15

I think I am, yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:42:16

All right, let's crown her.

VOICEOVER: 00:42:19

The Queens are Tabulating.

Trey Gerrald: 00:42:21

Are you ready?

Chelsey Donn: 00:42:22

I'm ready.

VOICEOVER: 00:42:27

Total Score!

Chelsey Donn: 00:42:29

[laughs] My god Trey.

Trey Gerrald: 00:42:30

Wow.

Chelsey Donn: 00:42:30

All right, Trey is holding up three crowns and I'm holding up one crown.

Chelsey Donn: 00:42:34

Okay, I'm, I'm holding up one crown because I just lost my trust of Mariana

Chelsey Donn: 00:42:43

I just didn't like the fact that she was being such a big bully and I think that her

Chelsey Donn: 00:42:51

I also think TMI with the epilogue and I just, I don't think it has any impact on

Chelsey Donn: 00:43:00

I would have to do a lot more research and a lot more deeper digging to find out a

Chelsey Donn: 00:43:09

Uh, that's why I gave Mariana one crown.

Chelsey Donn: 00:43:11

How about you?

Chelsey Donn: 00:43:12

Why did you give Mariana three crowns?

Chelsey Donn: 00:43:14

I'm surprised.

Trey Gerrald: 00:43:15

I went with three because it is a little middle of the road.

Trey Gerrald: 00:43:17

I, I think that Mariana's.

Trey Gerrald: 00:43:20

Um, lack of anger management is like a little muddying.

Chelsey Donn: 00:43:24

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald: 00:43:24

But I did think that the picture they painted of the store is sort of how I

Chelsey Donn: 00:43:33

Right.

Chelsey Donn: 00:43:33

Right.

Trey Gerrald: 00:43:34

And I don't have a judgment call on that.

Trey Gerrald: 00:43:35

I mean it's like, you know, it's a year round costume shop.

Chelsey Donn: 00:43:38

Right.

Trey Gerrald: 00:43:39

But, uh, I don't know, it wasn't humorous, I, I didn't like how it turned dark

Chelsey Donn: 00:43:53

Right.

Trey Gerrald: 00:43:53

Mariana mentioning the Army Na- Navy store across the street because

Chelsey Donn: 00:44:00

Right.

Chelsey Donn: 00:44:00

Right.

Trey Gerrald: 00:44:00

Like, um, I could also check at the Army Navy store, just as like

Chelsey Donn: 00:44:07

Okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:44:07

So I went with three 'cause ultimately it's middle of the

Trey Gerrald: 00:44:11

I feel more negatively about Mariana than I do about Abracadabra and so I said three.

Chelsey Donn: 00:44:15

For sure.

Chelsey Donn: 00:44:16

Yes.

Chelsey Donn: 00:44:16

Completely agree.

Trey Gerrald: 00:44:18

Awesome.

Chelsey Donn: 00:44:19

That was great.

Chelsey Donn: 00:44:20

I didn't, I did look through these reviews and I, I, I passed Mariana,

Chelsey Donn: 00:44:26

This was great, Trey.

Chelsey Donn: 00:44:28

Oh my god.

Chelsey Donn: 00:44:28

Do you have a phone call to make?

Trey Gerrald: 00:44:30

Sorry, I, um, someone just keeps calling me and asking me if I like scary movies.

Trey Gerrald: 00:44:34

It's really weird.

Chelsey Donn: 00:44:35

Oh.

Chelsey Donn: 00:44:36

[laughs]

Trey Gerrald: 00:44:36

I told 'em I'm recording a podcast, he'll have to wait.

Chelsey Donn: 00:44:39

[laughs] Alright my Queen, we've reached the most regal portion of our show.

Chelsey Donn: 00:44:45

Who are you inducting, Trey for-

VOICEOVER: 00:44:49

My Royal Highness.

Trey Gerrald: 00:44:51

Okay, so I decided to induct the person who created this costume

Trey Gerrald: 00:45:00

Kevin Williamson is an actor writer who wrote the screenplay for Scream, Scream 2, Scream

Trey Gerrald: 00:45:14

Kevin Williamson also wrote I Know What You Did Last Summer, I Still

Chelsey Donn: 00:45:18

[laughs]

Trey Gerrald: 00:45:18

Dawson's Creek-

Chelsey Donn: 00:45:20

Oh wow.

Trey Gerrald: 00:45:20

The Faculty, Teaching Mrs.

Trey Gerrald: 00:45:22

Tingle, The Following and The Vampire Diaries.

Chelsey Donn: 00:45:25

Wow.

Trey Gerrald: 00:45:27

So, okay-

Chelsey Donn: 00:45:28

So successful.

Trey Gerrald: 00:45:28

Kevin Williamson...

Trey Gerrald: 00:45:30

I know, Kevin Williamson and I have the same exact birthday, March 14th, same

Trey Gerrald: 00:45:36

He is from North Carolina, I'm from South Carolina as you all know from our last week's episode.

Chelsey Donn: 00:45:41

Yes.

Trey Gerrald: 00:45:41

Kevin Williamson went to East Carolina University, I went to Coastal

Chelsey Donn: 00:45:49

Lot of synchronicity.

Chelsey Donn: 00:45:50

I think that you guys need to link up.

Trey Gerrald: 00:45:52

God, I wish, anyway, I love Kevin Williamson, I love...

Trey Gerrald: 00:45:56

famously, I know too much trivia, so I just need to keep this short, but-

Chelsey Donn: 00:45:59

[laughs]

Trey Gerrald: 00:45:59

They famously wrote the screenplay to Scream, which was called

Chelsey Donn: 00:46:08

Wow.

Trey Gerrald: 00:46:08

He went away to a cabin and just like wrote the whole thing.

Trey Gerrald: 00:46:11

There's this sequence in the movie, the first one where Sydney is locked inside the car, but

Chelsey Donn: 00:46:18

Oh my god.

Trey Gerrald: 00:46:18

Locks just keep popping open and so she's-

Chelsey Donn: 00:46:21

That's so scary.

Trey Gerrald: 00:46:21

But that was from an MFA, like, short film that he wrote.

Chelsey Donn: 00:46:26

Oh wow.

Trey Gerrald: 00:46:26

Repurpose Queen, we love that.

Chelsey Donn: 00:46:28

Yes.

Trey Gerrald: 00:46:28

Also, Scream became such a huge bidding war before it even went into

Trey Gerrald: 00:46:39

And off the top of his head, completely pitched Dawson's Creek, fully with no, just

Trey Gerrald: 00:46:50

He just was in this meeting and was like, "Well, I have to say something," and-

Chelsey Donn: 00:46:55

'Cause they were like, they were just like, "Do you got anything else?"

Chelsey Donn: 00:46:57

And he was just like-

Trey Gerrald: 00:46:57

They're like, "Do you have any ideas for a TV show?"

Chelsey Donn: 00:47:00

Yes.

Chelsey Donn: 00:47:00

Wow.

Trey Gerrald: 00:47:00

And Kevin grew up on a creek and like had a crush on the girl

Chelsey Donn: 00:47:06

Stop.

Trey Gerrald: 00:47:07

Dawson's Creek

Chelsey Donn: 00:47:08

Wow.

Trey Gerrald: 00:47:09

I know, amazing.

Chelsey Donn: 00:47:09

That's amazing.

Trey Gerrald: 00:47:10

I just love him, I love everything that he's done.

Trey Gerrald: 00:47:12

Obviously Scream like revitalized the entire horror genre in the 90s and, um, I just really

Chelsey Donn: 00:47:33

He gets it.

Trey Gerrald: 00:47:33

All of his characters are very rich.

Trey Gerrald: 00:47:35

Um, so I'm inducting Kevin Williamson because, I mean-

Chelsey Donn: 00:47:38

Because of course.

Trey Gerrald: 00:47:39

We just really need a lot of entertainment always and, uh, I appreciate the

Chelsey Donn: 00:48:00

[laughs]

Trey Gerrald: 00:48:01

I induct you, Kevin Williamson as My Royal Highness.

Chelsey Donn: 00:48:04

I love that.

Chelsey Donn: 00:48:09

I'm so happy I know all of that now because I just, I love someone who, I mean, really what

Chelsey Donn: 00:48:19

I know that now.

Trey Gerrald: 00:48:20

And Vampire Dairies.

Chelsey Donn: 00:48:21

And Vampire...

Chelsey Donn: 00:48:21

I mean, wow, that's so cool.

Chelsey Donn: 00:48:23

I love that.

Chelsey Donn: 00:48:24

Anyway.

Trey Gerrald: 00:48:24

Anyway.

Chelsey Donn: 00:48:25

Yes.

Trey Gerrald: 00:48:25

All right, Chelsey, who are you inducting today for My Royal Highness?

Chelsey Donn: 00:48:29

I wanted to induct today all of the grocery store employees 'cause I

Chelsey Donn: 00:48:36

Like for a minute we were like, "Thank you so much to all these grocery store employees," and

Chelsey Donn: 00:48:47

We need them to be there.

Chelsey Donn: 00:48:48

If they weren't there keeping the doors open, we wouldn't have our

Chelsey Donn: 00:48:52

I mean, it's a really critical job that I don't think we, we think about it as much as we probably

Chelsey Donn: 00:49:25

And I just think there's so much put on them and I wanna make all the grocery store workers,

Chelsey Donn: 00:49:32

Thank you guys.

Trey Gerrald: 00:49:33

Such an epic, such an epic induction.

Trey Gerrald: 00:49:37

Like, so worthy too.

Chelsey Donn: 00:49:39

Yeah, ah, love this.

Trey Gerrald: 00:49:41

Love it.

Trey Gerrald: 00:49:42

All right, well we did it, queen.

Trey Gerrald: 00:49:43

We have made it through the scary, scary Halloween edition of Review That Review.

Chelsey Donn: 00:49:52

We did it.

Chelsey Donn: 00:49:52

Oh my goodness, there goes the scary music.

Chelsey Donn: 00:49:55

Okay, thank you guys so much for joining us today.

Chelsey Donn: 00:49:58

Thank you for joining us always.
