I'm pretty sure The Covenant's poster is actually supposed to be a play on the old The Craft poster. Which makes sense actually, like I can totally see this movie being pitched as "the sexy male version of the craft for modern teen girls" lol

The Covenant is my all time favourite bad movie. It was my sexual awakening as a kid, thank you Sebastian and Steven and (Renny Harlin).

I put on a lot of bad movies while at work. I watched The Girl Next Door on Tubi (one of the many named that). It’s crazy how many in the movies in the 90s painted men who have sex with “seduced” by teens as a person we’re supposed to root for. I’m sorry 90s cinema but I will not feel bad for a mediocre white man who can’t keep it in his pants. Those days have passed.

When we finished we were so exhausted we decided to call it a night earlier than we expected lol. But now I have to show all my other friends so they can know just how fucking insane it is.

OK the covenant holds a very special place in my heart - for the absolute longest, it was my friends and my favorite good bad movie. We watched it every Halloween, we all had our favorite of the group, I even wrote a fanfiction about it as a wee teen - I love that movie so much, cringe and all lol

i don't mind that you take long to make videos, like at all. it means time you post it's like oh jane posted!! ah!! this is great!!

i see you also do that thing where you're like "hmm i wonder what other movies this actor has been in?" and end up watching the randomest movies on earth lol it's always soo funny. i almost watched covenant when i was obsessed with sebastian stan as a teenager and now i'm so disappointed i didn't loll

You're doing a great service! I remember watching these bullshit Lifetime movies in my teens and thinking the exact same thoughts. ♥

The Asphyx is so charming, but goddamn how good is that opening and closing theme?

I mean I assume you thought it went without saying but I think you really have to acknowledge how Covenant was clearly trying to do a male version of The Craft, down to the poster and was trying to get the same demographic.

From your description it sounds like the Covenant was made for me specifically

I love when you show your notes😍😊

I was 14 when the covenant came out and teenage movies portrayed teenage boys that way, i feel like it’s because they were “the bad boys with a good heart”, but also i think we didn’t understood misogyny as much (or i didn’t).

An underappreciated gem in British media is a 2008 mini series (142 minutes, but having it divided into 5 episodes adds to it IMO) Dead Set. The British version of Big Brother is filming/airing, as a zombie outbreak occurs. I don't remember how I found it, probably on Hulu, when I was interested in how reality TV handled 9/11 so I watched the first seasons of Survivor and Big Brother, which watching the progression of those shows when you can watch a decade at a time is something else.

The Women (2008) and Something Borrowed are my movies I only watch when I’m at home sick from work. Highly recommend.

I paused this to watch voyeurs and I wish I had caught that twist but holy hell

Um of course I've heard of the Asphyx Jane it's an all time classic

12:42 the guy that says “Go Jogi, go, Jai Ho Slumdog” he mentions the movie Slumdog Millonaire starring Dev Patel and Frida Pinto

Omg thank you for talking about Little Italy. I had no idea what it was when I watched it. I was just scrolling Netflix and settled on it because it looked dumb, which was what I was in the mood for. I tried to describe it to my friend and I didn't even know where to begin. Aside from the blatant racism, the scene where the cop is feeling up Hayden Christensen won't leave my brain. It was written to be funny, but the concept isn't funny and if it had been done to Emma Roberts's character, it would've been horrifying to a much wider audience... but I guess because Hayden Christensen is a man, I'm supposed to think it's hilarious. Everyone responsible for this movie should just spend some time reflecting on being whatever the opposite of this is.

To answer your question about why they would cast Non-Italian actors to play the leads. Apparently this is a remake of the movie Mystic Pizza which was Julia Roberts first big movie, so that's why they casted her niece Emma Roberts to play the lead. In the poster you show, Emma is wearing the same shirt Julia Roberts wears as her uniform.
