Btw if you didn’t know the actor for robin came back to play Ernesto I love that to I miss his long hair soooo much I feel like that’s why people didn’t recognize him😂😂but also because he got older obviously ❤❤btw love the reaction
Man Finn and Gwen would fit so well into a Stephen king novel they could easily be characters that posses the shine as well. Also Great Reaction sending good vibes for the holidays 💗
Robin playing his Clark Kent character in this one 😂🫰🏽
“Robin says Hello”…. 😢 my heart!
Happy Birthday Michael! 🥳🥳🥳❤️
32:15 They were in fact on location! The place they went to is an actual place with the snow. They reveal it in the behind-the-scenes
Miguel Mora played both Robin in the first Black Phone and his brother Ernesto here, lol!
as someone who spent 20 yrs in the military, i can tell u from 1st hand experience: when u are active in extremely cold weather, u dont really feel it until the adrenaline goes down😂...we used to run pt in shorts and t shirts wit snow on the ground around 25-30°, in germany, so cold ur mustache would freeze😂😂
the mom was played by Anna Lore who also played Julia in Final Destination: Bloodlines
I was literally yelling this when I first saw this movie 😂😂 SOMEONE HUG HIM
