Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast.
All right, so we have to do a shout out on this one.
Even though it is ending, but I guess the contract we have is to do it.
So we should do it.
On Amazon Music, we are doing a show called Kevin's English Room Podcast Plus.
It is a five-minute spinoff version of this show where we answer English questions we
get from our listeners.
It is free.
All you have to do is download Amazon Music, and you can start enjoying the show with your
free account.
So it is until June 30th, but you can still enjoy it.
Go ahead and listen.
Yeah.
All right.
Oh, and the episodes aren't going to be deleted, they said.
It's going to be there.
So you can still enjoy the past episodes as well.
So all right.
I see.
There you go.
Yeah.
Yep.
We have to do a shout out on June 29th as well.
Yeah, that would be like a last party, I guess.
Yeah, that's true.
All right.
Um, this one.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Interesting.
Interesting.
Yeah.
Is occult English?
I don't think that's English.
Yeah.
But cult is English.
Oh, true.
Cult.
Is that same as occult?
I don't think so.
It's not cult.
We have cult as a Katakana word.
Different from occult?
Yeah.
Okay, so it's different.
What does that mean?
It's like kind of half horror, half really strange, fictional, non-fictional, you know, vague.
I see.
Sometimes it's sketchy sometimes, you know.
It's kind of scary.
Like those, you know.
Creepy, scary.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Those ones.
I kind of sometimes like it.
You do?
I kind of do.
ホラー映画への見解
I hate horror films.
Okay.
I never watch horror movies, like especially one with jump scare.
Yeah.
I hate jump scare.
Okay.
Jump scare and like the visually scary ones.
Okay.
For example, like especially Japanese ones where you have the white gown and the black hair.
Yeah.
Red eyes.
The one who came from this TV screen.
Yeah, so that's so cliche.
It doesn't look scary anymore, but like the same vibe, kind of scary.
I don't like that.
Okay.
So the jump scare and the visually scary one, that I never watch.
But for all the other ones, I'm actually okay with and kind of want to watch it.
But I can never make sure that this horror movie does not have the jump scare.
True.
So I can't take the risk.
Is that like, it's not mixed?
Yeah.
It's not, right?
Right.
There's no like jump scare.
That's right.
There are no, exactly.
That's right.
So I wish that the horror category like has a subcategory where, you know, oh, this is
does not include a jump scare kind of like a label on it.
That would be lovely.
I would love to see that happen.
Yeah.
But for like, for example, Aliens, that's okay, right?
Yeah.
That's kind of sometimes in a horror taste, right?
For sure.
I know that shit's not going to happen.
Like, you know, there's not going to be an alien jump scare.
ホラー映画の好み
I know the visuals aren't going to be overly scary.
Okay.
So I like it.
Okay.
I can enjoy it.
I enjoy it rather.
Isn't the alien looks scary?
Yes, it does.
But like, I already know the visuals.
So like, I've overcome it.
I see.
What about, so what's the jump scare?
Jump scare.
If you just, you're the protagonist and you're just going, the film like angles, like going
let's say dark woods.
And then, and then here you've got the alien, just you turn away and then just you have the
face of the aliens in it.
That's jump scare.
Yeah.
That's exactly jump scare.
Right.
So you don't like that?
I don't.
I do not.
I hate it.
Okay.
You hate that.
I hate jump scares.
I see.
Yeah.
So if it's like,
style, I'm perfectly okay with it.
Okay.
Rather I enjoy it.
Ah, really?
Yes.
Okay.
Because there's not going to be any jump scare.
Yeah.
Well, you know, there are some like...
Yeah.
I mean, that's...
You don't like those.
Okay.
That's, that's jump scare.
That is jump scare.
But if it's not visual jump scare, I'm, I think, I guess I'm more on the okay side.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
Yeah.
So if it's like, story, like narrative ones, you're good.
I'm good.
Yeah, okay, okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
So you, let's say, um,
and let's, let's gather in one room and then people are like five, six people gathered and...
Yeah.
You know, do some
round.
Yeah.
I'm okay with that.
That I'm okay with.
Okay.
Yeah.
But for like,
No.
That's completely reliant on jump scares and visual scariness.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So both of the things that I do not like.
Oh, okay.
I hate it.
Oh, so you're...
Okay.
Yeah.
Have you been into a, uh,
Haunted Mansion?
From Disney?
Yeah.
No, that does not count.
That is not scary.
Um, yeah, maybe.
One or two.
Is that a no?
That's a no.
Is there a sub-genre that you're okay with or not okay with when it comes to horror?
I don't like it.
I don't like those, any of those.
Every genre?
No.
Okay.
How about this?
How about like, how about UFOs?
Ah, those like...
It's not scary, but it's like, it's interesting.
I see.
It's kind of like, you know, unidentified flying objects.
There's the videos of the light sort of moving weirdly.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I, I'm okay with those.
I, rather like interesting to me.
Yeah.
Like you find something mysterious in, um, somewhere.
Yeah.
Like planet something, something.
It's to me like, it's science, more like, more like kind of science-ish thing.
Sci-fi-ish?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That makes it more interesting for you?
Right, right, right, right.
Okay.
Yeah.
If it's not trying to scare you.
Okay.
Right, right, right, right.
I see, I see.
ホラー映画の議論
Yeah.
How about like the horror films that are like, like mind...
Okay.
Let me think of something that, um, that I can, uh, those like...
Okay, how about Jaw?
You know, Jaw?
J-A-W.
Sorry, it was not Jaw, it was Saw.
It was Saw.
You know what I'm talking about.
The, uh...
The movie Saw, S-A-W.
The Nokogiri one?
The Nokogiri one.
I know the name.
The fucker on TV.
Suddenly appears on TV like,
If you want to escape, you have to kill the guy in front of you.
And then shit happens.
Okay.
I don't know that story, but I kind of know the name.
Okay.
It's like written in like red letters.
Yeah, red letters.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Kind of...
There's a whole series on that.
Okay.
It's like torture.
Oh, no, I don't like that.
No?
No.
Okay.
Yeah, I mean, obviously.
Yeah.
Okay.
How about, how about like those creepier ones?
Those like, like, like, like sacrificing.
What do you mean?
Like, like, like, oh, this is okay.
Let's say a character just, uh, landed on an island.
Landed on some island where there's like only 30 people.
And those people are kind of like in a weird cult.
They have to sacrifice somebody every week.
And they're like, they're doing it.
And they're like, and they're like, what was that?
That's the story.
And then like, no?
Depressing?
Too depressing?
Yeah.
Yeah.
How about, okay.
Yeah.
How about this?
How about, how about like, how about Kill Bill?
I've never seen it.
Where it's blood, it's sword, it's gun.
If that's too much, I don't like.
If it's too visual?
No, no, I don't like that.
Like guns and even, um, um.
Like 007, Mission Impossible.
007 is the limit, I guess.
Okay.
It's, it's not that, um, visually bad.
More like, it's, it's like visually gentle, gentlemen.
Right.
Some movies hide it, right?
Yeah.
That's what I like.
I don't like, um, for example, let's say, um, you know, um, um, Marvel's like Deadpool's.
Yeah.
You know, where they don't hide anything, but make it like, make those things as a joke.
Yeah.
And then like, and you puke people.
I don't like those.
You don't like that?
Yeah.
Even Marvel, I don't like that.
Because you can see it happening.
Yeah.
I don't want to see those things.
Oh, okay.
That's not what I want to see.
Okay.
I see.
All right.
Basically, you want to stay away from everything then.
Right.
Yeah.
Even the Japanese ones.
The Japanese, um, you know, you know, yokai, yokai.
Yeah.
The Japanese yokais.
The Japanese horrors, right?
Which is not that scary.
Sadako's and things like that.
No, that's too much.
I'm talking about the more, the cuter ones.
Like the, uh, Gegege no Kitaro.
No, no, no, no, not the yokai ones.
Oh, Gegege no Kitaro, yeah.
Those world.
