Speak No Evil(s) (2022 & 2024)

·1 hr 12 min·5 clips

Two Men and a Baby wakes up very unhappy. William Dubs, Brendan Fletcher, and Abby Krinsky open the 13th episode by saying they are scared, panicked, goosebumpy, and not having much fun. The hook is simple: they cover two Speak No Evil movies in one episode. That means the 2022 Danish film first, then the 2024 remake. The first film gets treated as its own movie, not just a lead in. A quiet Italian backyard concert is the image they keep coming back to early on. They focus on Bjorn there. That detail matters to them because it suggests he is unhappy, unfulfilled, and drawn toward a different life. From there, they connect his reaction to the other couple as immediate and emotional. The invitation to the countryside makes sense through that lens. They spend real time on the wife, too. In their read, the first film gives her a useful mix of caution, likability, and flaw. That balance keeps the family dynamic messy and alive. The remake shifts that balance. The wife in the 2024 version lands more like the hero, and that change bugs them. That annoyance becomes part of their case for the original. The conversation keeps jumping between synopsis, scare calibration, jokes, and argument. It is messy on purpose. The panel likes a pun, a correction, and a little mock hostility. They even look up the remake’s director and learn he is British, which becomes its own bit. Under the noise, the show keeps coming back to the same point: the original feels meaner, sharper, and more alive. When the scores land, the 2022 film gets 8.6 Holland Tunnels and the 2024 one gets 7.6 Old Ragged Flags. The episode closes the way the show likes to close, with thanks, barking, and one more joke before the door slams. It fits people who like horror talk that sounds like a fight in the room and still says something real.

As heard by us

A noisy two-film showdown that still makes real points about dread, character, and remake choices.

Two Men and a Baby sets the 2022 Danish Speak No Evil against the 2024 remake, and the discussion keeps circling back to what changes when a story comes back with cleaner edges.
