I love your guys' dynamic. Angry Joe: glass is half full Other Joe: glass is half empty Alex: f*ck the glass

Twas a light night in Soho indeed

During the end credits shots of a deserted, empty, central London flash on screen. All of these shots were completed during the COVID-19 global pandemic. The desertedness of the streets is real as England at the time was in a national lockdown. Final performance of Diana Rigg, who passed away on September 10, 2020. The film is dedicated in her memory. Thomasin McKenzie dropped out of Top Gun: Maverick (2022) to star in this movie. To achieve the shots of the students walking down the night-time Soho streets, the crew hid a Steadicam within a Bicycle Rickshaw taxi, commonly seen around the Soho area. The road was not closed off and the 'Extras' in the shot were unaware they were in a movie. The title comes from a song by pop band Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich, "Last Night In Soho" released in 1968. This is the song that is played during the end credits. This movie was inspired by Don't Look Now (1973) and Repulsion (1965). The drink ordered by Sandie early on in the film is a vesper created by Ian Fleming in the 1953 James Bond novel Casino Royale. Author Stephen King had the opportunity to see this movie at an advanced screening, and he was so impressed by what he saw, he tweeted "I hardly ever re-watch - there's so many good things out there - but this one is special." Diana Rigg, Terence Stamp, Rita Tushingham and Margaret Nolan were all big names in British film, TV and theatre in the 1960s, when a great deal of the story in this movie takes place. The first Edgar Wright film to have a female protagonist. This is one of two Anya Taylor-Joy films delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the other movie was The New Mutants (2020). Both Thomasin McKenzie and Anya Taylor-Joy have previously worked with director M. Night Shyamalan; the former in Old (2021) and the latter in both Split (2016) and Glass (2019). Foreshadowing: When looking for Sandy's missing persons case in the library, Eloise is passing by lots of missing persons cases regarding men. These men are later found out to be Sandie's victims. At the Halloween party Ellie and John attend, Ellie's former roommate Jocasta and her girl friends are dressed as the main characters in the 1996 witch movie The Craft (1996). Fittingly, Jocasta is dressed as Nancy, the film's villain. Foreshadowing: The landlady, later found out to be a serial killer states to Eloise, regarding the bathroom, that she will need to keep the plugs in during summer as the smells will rise, refering to the drains. This is more likely refering to the countless bodies of men hidden within the walls and floorboards. This is one of two Matt Smith films delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the other movie was Morbius (2022). Stars Matt Smith and Diana Rigg both appeared alongside each other in a 2013 episode of Doctor Who. Edgar Wright mentioned in an Instagram comment that the Director of Photography Chung-hoon Chung also shot The Handmaiden (2016) for Korean director Park Chan-Wook. According to Edgar Wright, after George Miller saw an early cut of the film, he was so impressed by Anya Taylor-Joy's performance that he met her immediately. He then offered her the leading role for his next film, Furiosa (2024).

@ 21:21, The reason why she starts seeing the punters outside of the bedroom, all over London, is because of what Ms. Collins says. She asks her if a woman had ever died in that room and she says, "This is London. Someone has died in every room in every building and on every street corner in the city." And from then on out, she starts seeing them everywhere.

@ 24:19, She doesn't murder him. He walks out in the street, stops to turn around and talk to her, and gets hit by a car. The exact same way she almost got hit by a car earlier in the film. No one was pushed or intensionally killed. Even the driver says, "He just stopped in the middle of the street!"

@ 27:27, They show a quick scene where she throws up all the tea. Implying that most of poison was out of her system.

Honestly I don't watch most of the movies y'all review I just enjoy listening to your discussion

I enjoyed this movie for how it talks about the dark realities of thinking just because you are passionate and skilled that if you move to a big city that you will be successful. I know so many personally that thought if they run off to Hollywood, LA, SF, LV, NYC, London, Paris that they will become big and famous only to find out that it didn't matter how good they were, if they weren't willing to sell a piece of themselves, their integrity, they didn't find success and instead would get denied even blacklisted from studios and other companies. Instead of just accepting it, they kept going bleeding away money and their life and live in run down apartments trying to make ends meet and sadly get into drugs, alcohol, partying and other activities to drown their problems away... just like everyone else living there until the money runs out and they have to move back to the midwest and give up on their dreams and barely even in their 30s and 40s. The harsh reality to be successful in life is to not be blinded by your dreams to see the inevitable and learn to let things go. They came for fame, and left in shame. I like the plot twist that gave me Edgar Allen Poe vibes. I wonder if being next to a Bistro helped hide the secret.

This movie made me realize that “Got My Mind Set On You” by George Harrison and “Always Something There to Remind Me” by Naked Eyes are covers.

Joe sometimes the faces you make in the thumbnails absolutely terrify me whenever I scroll at night but I always enjoy the movie reviews you guys make

I haven't watched this video yet, but I'm going to guess that Alex didn't like it.

Correction: she didn’t murder the detective. He stood in the street

The twist to this movie reminded me of the twist of Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island. If you’ve seen both you know what I mean.

The movie and advertising heavily reminds me of "Bad times at the El Royale" movie.

Third act of soho was SIGNIFICANTLY better than that of antlers. Y’all trippin

26:40 Eh... And? So, what is wrong with the message "a victim can become a monster herself/himself"? Yes. She/he can. And no, being a victim in the past is not an excuse for a person to become a monster.

You basically bought a beta test. I will admit the gameplay is fun.

I adored this movie. The acting, the cinematography, the music, the lighting effects from the bistro lingering in her room (Red to signify when murderous visions happen, blue to signify when she's not currently getting haunted). I loved everything about this movie. Edgar Wright, take a bow! I do have to disagree to a point though. The absolute ending with her at the fashion show IS the payoff because: 1. She managed to finally sell her 60's fashion vision 2. She manages to give a "fuck you" to those girls bullying her 3. She also manages to make her mother proud. 4. She also chooses to lowkey embrace Sandy's personality and get past her confidence issues Also Joe, the title needs fixing. It's "Last night in soho" , not "Light night in soho".

I am genuinely surprised that this movie went so far over Alex’s head the way it did. He’s the same guy that found the story telling elements of “Mother!” to be obvious but this movie completely lost him. I’m shocked.

Thanks for the content Joe, OJ, and Alex!

Having a victim become the villain is not only true to how some devastating events effect people but is ballsy and awesome for a movie. However it almost ruins itself by then having the main character say that guys who pay for sex deserve to be murdered. Coming from her that is just not right, From Sandies POV that makes sense but not the main girls or the audiences. The cool thing about this movie is despite how awful many of the people from the 60s era were, Sandie, one of many previous victims, ended up being the worst of them all.

I loved it. While the end was a mess, I thought it was the most fun part of the movie. Ellie backing up the stairs with the time periods switching, was absolutely gorgeous.

I think they dropped the ball with the ending too but as far as the villain goes; there are actual cases where the victims of horrible acts later become monsters themselves, the trauma messed them up mentally and they were never the same after the events and constantly feel the need to repeat the horrible acts that were done to them.

I don't think the vision that Ellie had is a real Sadie life, it is explain at the end of the movie that her vision is wrong. I believe that what Ellie experience is Sadie life from the Perspective of her victims, as we never see Sadie alone, she is always with someone else.

I don't understand why John continued to be around Eloise so much, he was weird and she clearly appears to be totally insane.

It was like a mix of Twilight Zone & Hitchcock, with subject matter that resonates into today.

Light Night in Solo? Haven’t seen that one yet

@ 26:45, I thought it was super creative how they made it where she was actually killing Johns. Especially because it was happening during the exact times she was refusing to pay attention. Didn't you notice how uncomfortable she kept getting? Because of how prude she was, she kept turning away every time something sexual happens? Remember the scene where Sandie is dancing in her first show? Eloise gets so flustered she gets up and walks away? Her sexual puritanism kept her ignorant to her psychic abilities. She could astral project, had mediumship, psychometry, clairaudience, clairgustance, clairsentience, & clairvoyance. But not claircognizance, divination, or precognition. She was an amateur, she was untrained. She had these abilities, but no idea how to use them. Her grandmother even kept warning her that she wasn't ready for her gifts. Telling her how she never asks for help or "talks" to her, hinting that she has poor verbalization skills. Basically that she can't even interpret what she is seeing. Which is why you, as the audience, feel tricked. But really, it was all done on purpose.. The grandmother even foreshadows the punters or Johns that would eventually haunt her, by warning her how cruel London can be.

One of the best movies I've seen this year. Just brilliant.

*spoiler warning*: I'm guessing from this review the movie message was supposed to be more complex than man bad, women victims. From sounds of it the message was some men bad some men, perverted and this can harm women to the point they are driven to be bad too. The zombies I think symbolised men who hire prostitutes as being mindless zombies to their desires and oblivious to the harm those desires may cause. Without seeing the movie this is all speculation and could be horrifically portrayed as a message but I can see how a director trying to do a more nuanced message where women are shown to be vulnerable to becoming evil too (if given the right circumstances) but in today's world we are so used to "man bad women innocent" that message could easily be lost on the Audience

Ah yes, "Light Night in Soho"

another great video, been loving all these movies reviews on octuber.

Looks like lack of good writing is the stigma of modern movies

I thought that although we see the events through Sandy's eyes, Ellie was transported to the 60s by the dead men as a way of getting revenge for her killing them. That's why they tell Ellie to kill Alexandria.

Good review, guys. The plot of this movie seems to borrow heavily from a book by Penelope Farmer entitled Charlotte Sometimes. Also, there is a typo in the title of this video; Edgar Wright's new film is called Last Night in Soho, not Light Night in Soho.

The title of the video 'Light Night in Soho' makes me want see THAT as a film.

Not much in common but does remind me of A Midnight In Paris for some reason.

Hey guys. You REALLY should do a top 10 movies of all time video. It would really set some context to your movie reviews that I think is needed to totally appreciate your ratings.

Alex and oJ should get their own graphics for their ratings

Interestingly the way y'all described it at very first made me think of Personal Shopper a way more unknown film. If y'all had said "fashion designer moves to France so she can follow the ghost of her dead brother half of the movie the rest is just melodrama" I would've laughed.

Her drink was obviously spiked at the Halloween party

Loved this film...and Alex said those John's attack her in real life...they don't...its all in her head...she sees ghosts. 👀

The soundtrack is solid. "Thunderball" premiered in 1965, so not quite Pre-Beatles.

AJ, did you know that children of abusive parents very often become abusive parents themselves?

Light night?

Y’all should do a favorite movies off all time list

I like how they haven’t fixed the typo yet lol

In the UK "shit the bed" means you got up early.

The film in a nutshell felt like an adult Doctor Who episode. With the good and the bad of what that brings.

The blue&red posters with Anya Taylor Joy, I thought it was Perfect Blue live XD

Movie mentioned at the end: *_GONJIAM: HAUNTED ASYLUM_*

whats ur guys fav movie out of this selection: The Night House, Last Night in Soho, Antlers, Halloween Kills, Candyman, Malignant, Old, and The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It??

I've seen posters for this movie but did not expect it to be a horror movie...

I don't think the main character felt like an outsider because she is a country girl. Instead, I would say she suffers from severe anxiety as she shows when she went through those episodes.

@ 18:04, I dunno about that. I mean they show her reflection in the knife, and her covered in blood. And she did technically witness a murder, you can definitely tell that someone died. But don't forget, it was heavily implied that she was drugged at the costume party. And she did like, keep avoiding actually watching the murder. I think it was super creative how that scene was shot. Definitely not misleading or contradictory, and definitely was not insulting the audience's intelligence.

Keep the spooky season alive and watch Titane.

When I first saw the trailer I was kinda skeptical at first, but after watching the movie. It was quite surprising, so good job on the review as usual Joe

brother joe, just letting you know the title is misspelled. just like my comment lol thank you for the reviews

Accually the twist is pretty good foreshadow since first scene in new apartament

LAST NIGHT IN SOHO

Light Night? I thought it was Last Night.

I appreciate this film analysis. I enjoyed the movie on a surface level and kind of like a Giallo, but what you guys say in the spoilers are completely correct and I like that you guys made me think more deeply about the plot.

Great Nosferatu t-shirt Alex!

How long before he realizes he titled it "Light Night in Soho"

Someone tell me how garlic overpowers smell of dead people

Have yall watched "Patient Zero" with Matt Smith as the lead. Its a nice take on the zombie idea

Light Night in Soho

Remember when this was a video game centric channel?

So basically this movie is like what the first trailer was, fascinating at the beginning and off putting by the end.

The police officer runs in front of the cab, she didn’t push him

Question…the big twist of dianna rigg got spoiled for me…should I still watch the movie- I’m 15 soooo should I see it? I REALLY WANT TO- IM JUST SOOO UPSET IT GOT SPOILLED FOR ME😭😭😭

So it’s got the doctor, Edgar wright and anya Taylor joy. Hell yeah.

She never asks what your name is! loloolol

'Last Night in Soho' should be the title of this vid :)

Dark night in soho will be the sequel, then there's the spoof Last Knight in Soho. And let us not forget the eventual porn parody One Night in Soho.

Honestly Alex just doesn’t like movies I’ve realized this. Even really good movies he’s like well that was ok. He’s one of those people that you could give everything to and still wouldn’t be satisfied

Love that General Zod is in this film.

There are some bright lights in the movie poster

I think you missed the entire point of the end. The point is that the evil of others can create another evil. I agree about the poison. Ellie didn't kill the old man. He walked out into the road and stopped.. I knew that he was the cop not jack as soon as that scene was showed the first time when he was younger talking to Alexandra aka sandy. This was a brilliant movie, technically I've never seen anything quite like it. Joe you're all sensitive about the want for your me too message. But that wasn't the point. Like I said it's about evil creating more evil. The drink was spiked, Ellie lied to the police so they wouldn't just say she hallucinated and it's all fake. This is my second favorite film this year next to the Protegé.

I got an ad cut away just as alex was about to express his opinions about the film.Even the YT algorithm yawns @ Alex's thoughts & opinions 😆

Light Night

Can we average all the scores for the final verdict ?

Me and my crush where looking at trailers to go see a movie. We randomly stumbled upon this one. We really couldn't figure the trailer out but saw Edgar Wright made it. She really loves baby driver and Shaun of the dead is my favorite so we where like, yea lets Just go see this one and just go in with not to many expectations. It turned out to be the best movie we have seen this year. We both fucking loved Last night in Soho. The ending, Altough visually beautiful, the twist wasn't really neccecary. My crush got scared shitless from the effects and the sounds, i just thought it looked cool. It is not a scary movie. More of a psychedelic thriller. But i still think its a great movie

Alex, please do a favourites movie list.

It completely boggles my mind when hollywood spends millions on a movie and they do everything right but the end product sucks because their script sucks. There are so many great stories coming out every year. So many talented authors and you have to make movies based on third rate garbage scripts? Why? WHY?!

Do you guys know about The Wheel of Time? It comes out next month, You might be interested in checking it out.

Last Light Night

Where is your angry review with you for Resident Evil 4 VR?!?!

I wonder if they would like Midnight Mass

Light Night?😂

Light Night?

Banger🔥🔥

I don't get the "light Night" joke in the title

Holy shit I almost agree w/ the crew on a fucking movie for once ha.. however I only seen it once. I was really hoping for better suspenseful moments in this (I wasn't feeling the ghost special effects either). The main reason I did enjoy it was because of Thomasin McKenzie (Jojo Rabbit) she's a gem. I was also happy to see Dianna Rigg (RIP) I loved her in Game of Thrones and of course Anya is always great. I think it's worth a watch just for McKenzie's performance alone I'll be visiting this one again though.

The first scene with the roommates made me seize up and cry because it was almost like the film was mirroring my first day at uni dorms. Good stuff- they really did good with the young adult/teens right in this. (I'm 18 and in my first year of uni in the uk)

Last Jedi in Solo

I took the wife to it tonight and we both really liked it.

Haha like how joes checks himself to look good

Can you guys watch & review “The Night House”?🙏🏾🤞🏾

Joe, 1965 is not a pre-Beatles year ! In fact, a lot of their hits are from 1964 &65.
