This was the MOST FUN!!!! Thank you for having me and for holding my virtual hand through all of the horrors!!! KAT:D
The sheer contrast between Cassie squirming at the gore and Kat cheering for it 😆
Cassie's the mom who wants to protect all children. Kat's the cool aunt who picks them up from school on her Harley.
Honestly, at this point I don't think Kat hates horror movies anymore lol
This is the most surprising crossover
I knew the contrast between Cassie and Kat was going to be massive, but actually watching it was such a fun experience. Seeing Cassie hiding behind a pillow while Kat had a massive smile on her face, nerding out over the gore and practical effects. It's Exactly what I expected. The two of them contrast in a way that makes for really fun reactions. They’re so different, and that’s awesome to watch.
Cassie: 😮😰🤢 Kat: 😁😁😁
"That's disgusting!" *Kat grins evilly!*
@24:48 Gotcha!!! 😱 😆LOL Josh Brolin’s “Whaaat the f**k!” Was so perfectly delivered 😂ROFL🤣LMAO Both of your reactions were priceless😆👍
Some killer performances from Julia Garner, Josh Brolin, and Benedict Wong, but my god - Cary Christopher as Alex does such a good job and Amy Madigan’s Aunt Gladys is a LEGEND
