Leviathan (1989) – Underwater Nightmares & Corporate Bullshit | Two Cents: We See Scary Movies · Two Cents: We See Scary Movies

  Welcome to Two Cents We see Scary Movies, the podcast where
• 0:03
  we dive into horror 1 theme at a time.
• 0:05
  This month's theme is Terror in the deep for the ocean isn't
• 0:08
  just dangerous, it's downright monstrous.
• 0:11
  I'm Talon, the one who if trapped in an underwater mining
• 0:15
  station would absolutely be the first to ask.
• 0:17
  So does DoorDash deliver 16,000 feet down?
• 0:21
  And my Co host is Dan, who if he saw a mutant sea monster made of
• 0:24
  all his Co workers would just shake his head and say figures
• 0:27
  even fused into one giant freak of nature, they're all still
• 0:30
  useless. This week we're going deep,
• 0:33
  literally with Leviathan. Let's get into it.
• 0:43
  So the movie opens by telling us we're in the Atlantic Ocean,
• 0:47
  2000 feet deep. The crew is working for a
• 0:49
  company called Trioceanic Mining Corporation, and their mission
• 0:52
  is the extraction of silver and other precious metals.
• 0:55
  The classification of the mission is labeled extremely
• 0:58
  hazardous, which is always a good sign that nothing bad will
• 1:00
  happen, right? We see the crew outside their
• 1:03
  underwater base camp mining shack #7A little note on the
• 1:06
  screen tells us it's day 87 of a 90 day shift.
• 1:10
  So these people are almost at the finish line, but you can
• 1:12
  tell right away they're all stir crazy and ready to get the hell
• 1:15
  out of there. They wrap up their shift and
• 1:17
  start heading back toward the base.
• 1:19
  On the way, 6 Pack, who was played by Daniel Stern.
• 1:22
  He's loud, obnoxious and constantly making crude jokes.
• 1:26
  But this isn't 80s movie, so it's expected.
• 1:28
  Yeah, I was going to say very, very traditional for the 80s
• 1:32
  movies. And he was a very unlikable
• 1:35
  character. Yes, because I mean it.
• 1:39
  But also is that typical 80s like crude humor?
• 1:42
  Like it's not even funny, it's just him just being gross.
• 1:45
  Right. Yeah, it very much was.
• 1:47
  So he spots this weird little creature.
• 1:50
  It's not exactly a crab, not exactly a spider, but it's
• 1:53
  somewhere in between those two things.
• 1:54
  And so he snatches it up without anyone else noticing and just
• 1:56
  keeps walking. And I'm sure this will go really
• 1:58
  well later. So meanwhile, we learned there
• 2:01
  are 6 workers who go outside for mining, plus there's two people
• 2:04
  inside. So Beck, who's the captain?
• 2:07
  Or really, he's actually a giant and he was just shoved into the
• 2:11
  role of captain is back inside the base camp running comms.
• 2:15
  And then there's a Doctor Who, there's a computer and there's a
• 2:20
  note on it says the doctor is out.
• 2:21
  So he's not there. He's somewhere around.
• 2:24
  He's on duty. So he's supposed to be on duty,
• 2:26
  but he's just somewhere 1 wandering around this habitat.
• 2:30
  Well, I I do. I do want to mention the captain
• 2:32
  is played by RoboCop. Yes, yeah, yeah.
• 2:36
  And it's funny because as I was writing this, I was going to
• 2:38
  write who each person is and I and that for some reason I just
• 2:42
  stopped after Daniel Stern. I guess I forgot I was doing
• 2:46
  that. But for those not in the know,
• 2:48
  it's Peter Weller from RoboCop fame.
• 2:51
  Yeah, and the doctors played by Richard something.
• 2:57
  If you saw him, you'd know he was probably I like, I
• 2:59
  recognized him. I was doing things.
• 3:00
  The guy. Yeah, that guy.
• 3:02
  OK, so on the walk back, one of the crew members, Dehay suit,
• 3:06
  suddenly starts gasping for air to Readings show oxygen is
• 3:09
  dropping. Looks like the temperature might
• 3:11
  be rising inside. Or it could just be that he's
• 3:13
  getting really sweaty because he's in a panic.
• 3:14
  He's panicking. He shouts for Jones.
• 3:16
  And Jones is another crew member played by Ernie Hudson, which I
• 3:20
  just added in there. I didn't write that in.
• 3:21
  I just remembered it was Ernie Hudson.
• 3:22
  Yeah. I love that guy.
• 3:23
  Yeah, I love him too. So he's shouting for Jones to
• 3:26
  help him, saying he can't, can't breathe.
• 3:27
  Turns out his rebreather has malfunctioned and the pressure
• 3:30
  is building in a suit and he's terrified he's going to blow.
• 3:33
  So Beck, from the control room, tries to talk him through it,
• 3:36
  but it's obvious Beck has no idea what he's doing.
• 3:38
  He's just a geologist. He's not really a captain.
• 3:40
  He doesn't really know anything of what's going on.
• 3:42
  He's just running around frantically, pressing buttons,
• 3:45
  calling for the dock. He's trying to, you know, make
• 3:47
  some sense of what he's reading. All the readouts in the comp
• 3:51
  station, the readouts are coming back, that everything's fine,
• 3:55
  but Jesus insists they're not fine.
• 3:57
  So things start getting chaotic. Everyone's tense.
• 3:59
  Jesus starts fading. You can see, like he's going to
• 4:02
  pass out or something. He's barely able to keep moving.
• 4:05
  But Beck just urges the others who are with him to just keep
• 4:07
  him moving toward the station and into the lift.
• 4:10
  So as you're talking, I'm starting to realize something.
• 4:14
  His name is Jesus, right? Well, to Jesus, right?
• 4:18
  Jesus of Jesus. Right, that's generally of
• 4:21
  Jesus, right. I'll get to my point when you
• 4:23
  continue on. OK, so so I I just want to bring
• 4:27
  that up. I'm already laughing again.
• 4:30
  So I'm gonna, I'm bringing that up so when you get to the part
• 4:34
  that I'm talking about, I can bring it all together.
• 4:37
  OK, All right, so so. Continue and I bring it up.
• 4:42
  I'm pretty sure I know where you're going.
• 4:43
  So, so they do make it back in time.
• 4:47
  They, they make it feel really tense, but they get back in
• 4:49
  time. They get into the lift lock, the
• 4:51
  lift pulls them up, the chamber drains and they're finally
• 4:54
  inside. The Jesus did pass out for a
• 4:56
  moment, but he does come too. And now he's OK.
• 4:59
  Not the part, OK. Yes, yes.
• 5:03
  So he was resurrected. Right.
• 5:06
  From death because the amount of time that he spent in his suit,
• 5:09
  quote UN quote dying, right? He would have been dead, right?
• 5:13
  OK, again, suspend reality from movie shit, but you know, he
• 5:17
  would have been dead. So essentially Jesus was
• 5:21
  resurrected. Correct, that's where you're
• 5:24
  going. What's the scare with De Jesus?
• 5:33
  Once the scare with de Jesus's suit is over, the crew regroups
• 5:37
  in the dining hall, or the mess hall as they call it, and you
• 5:40
  can just see how ready they are to get out of there. 6 pack
• 5:42
  changes the sign. They have this sign that has the
• 5:44
  number of days they have left from four days left to three.
• 5:47
  He shaved off a day. I guess it makes them feel like
• 5:49
  they're going to escape faster. Everyone's a little restless.
• 5:52
  They argue about whether De Jesus is either really
• 5:54
  malfunctioned or effect just didn't know how to handle the
• 5:56
  situation. Confidence in their so-called
• 5:59
  captain is low, and even Beck doesn't seem to all that sure of
• 6:02
  himself. And we do have a scene where we
• 6:03
  see him flipping through the One Minute Manager book like he's
• 6:07
  hoping a paperback is going to turn him into a leader
• 6:09
  overnight. It's like the book Who Moves
• 6:13
  Your Cheese? You know the managers.
• 6:15
  Have you read that? You know you're going to be
• 6:16
  great at being a manager after reading that.
• 6:20
  But you can tell he does not have confidence in himself.
• 6:23
  So then that goes into the mess hall.
• 6:25
  They're all arguing. He stops them and then he kind
• 6:28
  of offers them a deal. They don't realize it's a deal
• 6:30
  at first, but he's telling everyone they need to go on
• 6:32
  shack duty, which is just basic maintenance of the the shack
• 6:36
  itself They're in. And they're all up in arms about
• 6:38
  it. They're like, we just did a
• 6:39
  whole 8 hour shift or whatever, mining blah blah blah blah.
• 6:42
  And he's like, well, you can do this, We can do it tomorrow, or
• 6:47
  you can do it now and have tomorrow off.
• 6:49
  So they're all like, oh, OK, yeah, I'll take a day off.
• 6:52
  That'd be great. So everyone agrees.
• 6:54
  Then the doctor strolls in, and he's smug and dismissive.
• 6:57
  He's joking about his morning game of golf.
• 6:59
  Beck calls him out, reminding him that the manual requires the
• 7:02
  doc to stay in the control room and crews are outside.
• 7:05
  But the doc just waves it off with another wisecrack.
• 7:08
  This is something like, oh, I'll just leave my morning golf
• 7:11
  tomorrow to just 9 rounds of nine holes instead of 18.
• 7:14
  Very, very pompous. Yeah, so then the the crew
• 7:18
  scatters to do their chores. 6 Pack and Bowman, who is female,
• 7:21
  and she's the only other woman besides Williams, who they call
• 7:24
  Willie. They go and they do work
• 7:26
  together. He's mopping, she's up on a
• 7:27
  ladder fixing something overhead.
• 7:29
  And of course, he makes crude comments about her body, her
• 7:32
  breasts in particular. In another room, Cobb and Jones
• 7:35
  patched up the engine with chewing gum.
• 7:37
  Apparently that is a secret of the trade.
• 7:40
  Yeah, well, I mean gum like like duct tape, it fixes everything.
• 7:46
  Right, It worked. It did work because the thing
• 7:49
  was shot. You know, like shaking and
• 7:50
  making all kinds of with the noise and when he put the gum on
• 7:52
  it, it stopped. Great.
• 7:53
  It's all better. Yeah, it's all better.
• 7:54
  So then Willie checks De Jesus, faulty, faulty suit, and she
• 7:58
  thinks there's probably some sort of a short going on with
• 8:00
  it, so she's looking that over. Meanwhile, De Jesus himself is
• 8:04
  with the doc getting scanned just to make sure he's OK.
• 8:06
  So while Williams or Willie, I'm going to call her Willie, this
• 8:09
  is what I'll call her tinkers with the suit.
• 8:11
  She pops open this front thing and this that spider crab
• 8:15
  creature thing that 6 pack had gotten earlier suddenly leaps
• 8:19
  out at her. So she freaks out, but she kills
• 8:21
  it on the spot. But she's furious and she calls
• 8:24
  out six pack over the intercom. And he laughs because he thinks
• 8:26
  it's hilarious. Later, Beck checks in with
• 8:28
  Martin. Now Martin is Miss Martin and
• 8:31
  she's one of the corporate higher ups in the Triant Oceanic
• 8:35
  Company and she gushes about how smart she looks for putting a
• 8:38
  geologist in charge of of the operation and how well the mind
• 8:42
  is running. Now Beck brings up concerns
• 8:44
  about the doctor, and Martin admits that there have been
• 8:48
  incidents of insubordination with him, but reminds him that
• 8:51
  he, man, he's a celebrated researcher.
• 8:53
  And then he's come up with dozens of vaccines and all this
• 8:56
  stuff. And then, of course, Beck's
• 8:57
  like, well, what's he doing down here?
• 8:59
  And she was like, well, one of his vaccines killed a bunch of
• 9:02
  people, right? Yeah, but he's world renowned.
• 9:06
  Right, he's great. So that's how he ended up stuck
• 9:09
  on his underwater assignment. So then that night the crew is
• 9:12
  back in the dining hall when 6 pack storms in, still making
• 9:16
  crude jokes and snatches A penthouse magazine before
• 9:18
  heading to his bunk. As he's relaxing in his bunk,
• 9:21
  he's putting he puts his arms behind his head under his pillow
• 9:24
  and he's looking up at this poster of this half naked woman
• 9:27
  and he's saying all this stuff about her but he feels something
• 9:30
  under his pillow and it's that Dead Sea creature Willie had
• 9:33
  killed earlier. She stuffed it there as payback.
• 9:35
  So now he's pissed off. Storms back to the dining hall
• 9:38
  and screams at her. Beck intervenes and as
• 9:41
  punishment he assigns both 6 pack and Willie to go outside
• 9:44
  for mining due to the next day even though they were supposed
• 9:46
  to have the day off but whatever.
• 9:49
  And a discipline. Yeah, yeah.
• 9:51
  So 6 Pack is pissed off about this too.
• 9:53
  But anyway, the next morning, 6 Pack and Willie are outside
• 9:56
  working. They're on their mission and
• 9:58
  they hit a promising vein of ore.
• 10:01
  They blast it and everyone in the control room is, you know,
• 10:04
  happy. Well, it's just, I think it's
• 10:06
  just Doc and back, but they're happy about it.
• 10:08
  Willie finds what looks like a nice chunk of silver and holds
• 10:11
  it up to the camera for Beck to see.
• 10:13
  Beck wants a closer look, but needs more light.
• 10:15
  Willie calls for six pack to shine more light over there, but
• 10:18
  he's gets tangled up in his cables and he's kind of
• 10:20
  stumbling around. But anyway, he ends up hitting a
• 10:22
  piece of land that gives way and he falls into a crevice and his
• 10:27
  communications cut out. So now they're kind of freaking
• 10:30
  out. Willie tries to Willie's like,
• 10:32
  I'm going to go find him. He went down into this weird
• 10:35
  space. So Willie, I'm going to find
• 10:37
  him. And the others in control room
• 10:38
  are very concerned about the situation because it's dangerous
• 10:42
  for them. So eventually she makes her way
• 10:44
  down into the deep Ridge filled with all these like, tube worms
• 10:48
  and, or I think that's what they're called.
• 10:50
  As she's walking along, she suddenly stumbles upon a wrecked
• 10:52
  ship. And she's got a camera and they
• 10:54
  can see what what she sees back in back in comms, They're all
• 10:59
  staring at the feed. And there's a little surprised
• 11:01
  by this sunken vessel. And across the hull is a single
• 11:05
  word written in Russian. The doc, who can speak Russian
• 11:09
  as well as several other languages, says Leviathan, which
• 11:13
  is the name of the ship. So Beck tells Willie she has one
• 11:16
  minute to find 6 Pack before she has to head back.
• 11:19
  The doctor points out the obvious.
• 11:20
  If she only has a minute left, how much oxygen does 6 Pack
• 11:23
  have? As she keeps searching, Willie
• 11:25
  stumbles into the ship's Infirmary.
• 11:27
  It's full of skeletal remains. Then as she's coming out of
• 11:30
  that, we finally hear 6 Pack's voice.
• 11:33
  He's woohooing like you just struck gold.
• 11:35
  And it turns out he found a very large container, basically like
• 11:38
  a safe or something. And he's thrilled.
• 11:40
  He thinks he's hit the mother lode and he's going to be rich.
• 11:43
  I don't know how he's whole. He's carrying this big ass thing
• 11:45
  by himself. I mean, I realize water makes
• 11:47
  things buoyant, but I don't know how, right?
• 11:50
  And it was pretty huge. Yeah.
• 11:53
  You know, fair, fair enough to say.
• 11:55
  Yeah, so both Willie and Six Pack make it back safely with
• 11:58
  the container, and inside they find smaller metallic cases.
• 12:02
  They dig through the contents. There's a Timex watch that's
• 12:04
  still ticking. There's Russian money, old
• 12:07
  photos, the Jesus Hand 6 pack one of the cases and tucked
• 12:11
  inside 6 pack, secretly discovers a flask.
• 12:15
  Without anyone noticing, he slips it into his pocket.
• 12:17
  Jones finds a videotape, which the doc examines.
• 12:19
  It's labeled in Russian as the captain's log.
• 12:22
  Alongside it, they also uncover crew files.
• 12:24
  They're all stamped deceased and there's a lot of them, like just
• 12:28
  about everybody on the ship must have died so.
• 12:30
  Well, who was logging it then? I know whoever that one person
• 12:34
  was happened to keep deceased, deceased, deceased.
• 12:39
  It was Jesus. Yeah, so of course they know now
• 12:44
  that this is a Russian ship. And Bowman got decides to go
• 12:47
  over and look up information, see if she can find any, see if
• 12:50
  she can find any information on this ship.
• 12:53
  She puts the information in the computer.
• 12:54
  It comes back and it says that this ship is still an active
• 12:58
  ship with the Russian fleet somewhere out in the Baltic Sea.
• 13:01
  So they're all like, wait, that's not possible because we
• 13:04
  can see it. It's right here.
• 13:05
  It's it's right here in the bottom of the ocean in the
• 13:07
  Atlantic Ocean. So they're all like, what the
• 13:09
  fuck? Later, we see Beck and the dock
• 13:11
  sit together and watch the tape that they found.
• 13:14
  The doc translates because it's in Russian.
• 13:16
  The Russian captain explains that his crew is sick.
• 13:18
  The doc casually calls it a tropical disease.
• 13:22
  There, the Russian doctor thinks it's a tropical disease, but the
• 13:25
  captain insists it's like nothing he's ever seen before.
• 13:27
  And just before the tape cuts off, the captain adds, there's
• 13:30
  one more thing I don't understand.
• 13:31
  And then there's a door behind him.
• 13:33
  And that door starts to creak open.
• 13:35
  And then the video ends and cuts out.
• 13:37
  Oh, no, yeah. So now the dock, the dock that
• 13:40
  we know he's unsettled by this. Not only do the Russians list
• 13:43
  the ship as active when it's clearly rotting on the ocean
• 13:46
  floor, but the video of the hull because they they continue to
• 13:50
  look over again what the video that they got from Willie when
• 13:53
  she saw the the ship. And in that video, the hull
• 13:56
  shows mangled metal damage that looks like a torpedo strike.
• 14:00
  So he suggests the Russians sank their own ship to contain
• 14:03
  whatever was happening on it. Beck shrugs it off.
• 14:06
  It's. Very.
• 14:08
  Ominous. Beck shrugs it off.
• 14:11
  He says he doesn't care what happened to a bunch of sick
• 14:13
  Russian sailors at the bottom of the sea.
• 14:15
  And he's a geologist. He's not a naval officer.
• 14:17
  He bets the dock $5 that it's just a clerical error anyway.
• 14:22
  Meanwhile, back in the bunk area De Jesus and Cobb are working
• 14:25
  out with when Bowman bursts in with Becks personnel file.
• 14:28
  She figures they can use his Social Security number to open
• 14:31
  his safe and steal the vodka. 6 Pack laughs saying Beck couldn't
• 14:35
  possibly be that dumb, only to find out yes, he really is that
• 14:37
  dumb and the safe opens so everyone except Willie takes a
• 14:42
  shot but they immediately spit it out because Beck had swapped
• 14:45
  the vodka with water. Later, Bowman sneaks into 6
• 14:48
  Pack's bunk and catches him with the hidden flask of vodka and
• 14:52
  she convinces him to share it, which didn't take much.
• 14:54
  He was like, yeah, here you go. And the two of them drink the
• 14:57
  real vodka from the flask he found together.
• 14:59
  And, you know, The thing is like, you don't really know how
• 15:02
  old that vodka is. And the fact that the crew was
• 15:06
  like, really sick, right? And they felt it was safe enough
• 15:10
  to drink. Yeah, Now I don't know.
• 15:13
  I mean, I don't know if vodka, vodka or any alcohol gets old
• 15:17
  per SE and can go bad. I don't know, but yeah, the fact
• 15:21
  that there were a whole bunch of people that died on that ship
• 15:23
  and maybe someone had taken a swig out of it and now you're
• 15:25
  putting your mouth on it, right? It's a little questionable.
• 15:28
  Yeah. At best, yeah.
• 15:30
  Absolutely. So elsewhere we have Willie,
• 15:32
  who's out running. She's prepping for her astronaut
• 15:35
  training that starts in two days.
• 15:36
  She bumps into Beck, who's working on the faulty lift lock.
• 15:39
  This scene, really, it basically exists just to build up the
• 15:43
  sexual tension between them. So we know that there's
• 15:45
  something going on there underneath it.
• 15:46
  All right? Because they were.
• 15:50
  They didn't really talk about anything that really mattered.
• 15:52
  It's just you could tell that there was some underlying
• 15:55
  feelings. But then, yeah.
• 15:57
  But then she does ask him how he knew the crew would go after the
• 15:59
  vodka and what in him switching it out with water, And he admits
• 16:02
  it's because that's what he would have done.
• 16:04
  They laugh. She tells him maybe he's more
• 16:06
  like the rest of them than he thinks.
• 16:08
  So then she takes off running again.
• 16:10
  The next day, Bowman changes the sign.
• 16:12
  So there's now just one day left.
• 16:14
  I don't know what happened to Day 2, or maybe that was all in
• 16:17
  Day 2. I don't know.
• 16:18
  Yeah, maybe. Yeah, but Six Pack isn't feeling
• 16:20
  good at all. He's with the doc, who claims
• 16:23
  the doctor claims that it's just a hangover 6 Pack insists it's
• 16:26
  something else. He takes his shirt off and the
• 16:28
  doc finds this weird bruising and some open sores across his
• 16:32
  back. Beck sees it too, and neither of
• 16:34
  them likes what they're looking at.
• 16:35
  Beck reports 6 Pack's condition to Misses Martin, the corporate
• 16:39
  exec back on land. She brushes it off, telling him
• 16:42
  not to be too hasty about an evacuation.
• 16:45
  Calling for help 24 hours before scheduled pickup would look bad
• 16:48
  on his record, which I'm sure he doesn't care about because he's
• 16:51
  a geologist. He doesn't care about his record
• 16:53
  as a captain, right? I mean, he didn't even really
• 16:56
  want to be there. No, he didn't.
• 16:58
  So it's clear she only cares about the company's bottom line.
• 17:01
  Though this woman is cold as ice, so that's really all she
• 17:04
  cares about. She does not worry about the
• 17:06
  crew's survival or anything like that.
• 17:07
  Meanwhile, the other miners, Bowman, De Jesus, Jones and
• 17:10
  Cobb, are suiting up for another mission.
• 17:13
  They're worried and they have a quota they have to get every
• 17:16
  month, and they're worried that if 6 Pack isn't out there to
• 17:18
  help them, they're going to miss quota, which means they get they
• 17:22
  lose a third of their month's pay.
• 17:23
  And they all think he's faking it.
• 17:25
  And then Beck tells them that no 6 Pack really is sick and he's
• 17:28
  not going to make it. And then he suits up to go out
• 17:30
  with them. So he goes out to help.
• 17:32
  Back in the Infirmary, the doc examines 6 Pack, who's now
• 17:35
  feverish, sweating and shivering.
• 17:38
  He takes a skin sample because he's got this lesion on his
• 17:40
  neck. So he takes a scalpel and cuts
• 17:43
  it off, part of it off, and he puts it under the microscope.
• 17:46
  And the computer immediately from just this microscope throws
• 17:50
  out all of this stuff. Like there's all these bizarre
• 17:53
  simulations and all this data, but the doc and it seems like 6
• 17:57
  pack understand what it's saying, whatever it is.
• 18:01
  Well, I mean, he's a doctor, so he should know what?
• 18:03
  All of it. Means right, right.
• 18:05
  And it's funny because it just all this computer derived this
• 18:09
  all from this microscope thing. And then the doc questions the
• 18:13
  computer further, demanding it identify the condition.
• 18:17
  The computer responds unknown origin.
• 18:19
  Then he presses harder and the machine hesitantly suggests
• 18:22
  genetic alteration. I was like, wow, this is like AI
• 18:25
  before, way before AI. He was talking to it like it was
• 18:28
  doing do. This, well, this is probably
• 18:31
  like the prototype of AI. I guess so.
• 18:35
  So we really came up with it. It's state-of-the-art.
• 18:37
  Yeah, it really was. It figures some shit out.
• 18:40
  So it suggested genetic alteration.
• 18:42
  The doc doesn't look surprised, more like grimly resigned to it
• 18:45
  because he kind of figured the same thing I guess.
• 18:47
  So before long, 6 Pack is so weak and barely move, and at
• 18:50
  this point I thought 6 Pack was just resting, not in peace, but
• 18:56
  just resting. So the doctor transfers him to a
• 19:00
  medical bed in a private room, and by the time Beck comes back
• 19:03
  from the mission outside, 6 Pack has died.
• 19:06
  Or maybe he was already dead and I just didn't realize it.
• 19:09
  So Beck is stunned. He asked the doc how can a man
• 19:11
  die from a skin rash in just eight hours?
• 19:14
  The doc admits that no one back on land believes his reports
• 19:17
  either, because he's communicating with people on
• 19:18
  land about whatever is going on. He tells Beck the best
• 19:21
  explanation is that 6 Pack was undergoing some kind of genetic
• 19:23
  alteration. Whether that came from the air,
• 19:26
  the food, or something he encountered on the on the
• 19:28
  Russian ship. Beck points out that Willie was
• 19:30
  there too, and the doc quietly decides to examine everyone and
• 19:34
  wants to do it without causing panic.
• 19:36
  So 1 by 1, he checks the crew. Cobb, Jones, Williams, De Jesus.
• 19:41
  None of them show symptoms, yet he tells them he's just looking
• 19:44
  for a skin condition. De Jesus jokes.
• 19:46
  A skin condition? Like what?
• 19:47
  Like the duck says, you know, scaly and this and that.
• 19:51
  He's like, you mean like a fish. A duck pauses.
• 19:53
  Clearly you can tell it his brains thinking maybe it is like
• 19:58
  a fish and he mutters, yeah, like a fish.
• 20:00
  Jesus was kidding, but the dock is not.
• 20:03
  Then Bowman shows up and she's just wearing a towel.
• 20:07
  The dock when he was with de Jesus, he got a beep.
• 20:09
  On his pager. So he had to go.
• 20:11
  He was like, hey, you're done to Jesus.
• 20:12
  And when he went to go open the door to walk out of the clinic,
• 20:15
  Bowman was standing there in her towel and she was leaning up
• 20:18
  against the door. And you could tell she doesn't
• 20:19
  look very good. And the doc says I'll be right
• 20:21
  back. I have to go do something.
• 20:23
  And so she walks in and she's looking I'll she doesn't look
• 20:27
  great. So then we go to where the doc
• 20:29
  went and he went back to the comms area and the doc and Beck
• 20:32
  are on a conference call with Miss Martin, Explained that 6
• 20:35
  pack is dead and they're dealing with genetic mutation.
• 20:38
  She doesn't believe them really. She thinks that's kind of crazy.
• 20:41
  That excites the manual and orders evacuation.
• 20:43
  But she delays, saying there's a hurricane off Cuba that prevents
• 20:46
  pickup and the soonest that they can hope for is a 12 hour delay
• 20:50
  until they can figure out which way this hurricane is actually
• 20:52
  heading. Damn hurricanes.
• 20:54
  Yeah. Back in the Infirmary, Bowman
• 20:57
  gets violently sick. She's throwing up.
• 20:59
  Williams comes in, says, oh, my God, are you OK?
• 21:02
  Are you OK? And Jones is out in the doorway,
• 21:04
  and she says, help me carry her to a bed.
• 21:07
  So they help her into a bed there.
• 21:09
  In the clinic, Jones goes in to check on 6 Pack, still thinking
• 21:13
  he's just resting. And he talks to him casually
• 21:15
  joking about how Beck actually went out in the mission to help
• 21:18
  them. And then you see 6 Pack move
• 21:23
  under the sheet. Now 6 pack is supposed to be
• 21:25
  dead. And of course Joe Jones doesn't
• 21:28
  know this, but we as viewers know this.
• 21:30
  But Jones is like, oh sorry man, didn't mean disturb you.
• 21:33
  I'll, I'll go ahead and go. So he goes back out and then he
• 21:36
  tells Williams and Bowman that he's going to go get the doc.
• 21:39
  So he leaves. And then Williams tries to leave
• 21:42
  as well, but Bowman's like, no, don't.
• 21:45
  She begs Williams not to leave her alone because she feels so
• 21:48
  sick and she feels so bad. But Williams basically just
• 21:50
  brushes her off and says, oh, you'll be fine.
• 21:53
  Yeah, well, I mean it was, it was the 80s.
• 21:57
  I mean we were in the throws from Dernot it walk it off.
• 22:01
  Generations. Yeah, exactly.
• 22:02
  Yeah, no problem. We only had one person die.
• 22:05
  We've got one person super sick, but you'll be fine because
• 22:08
  nobody actually knows that 6 Pack is dead yet.
• 22:10
  So Williams leaves. She's like, I'll be back.
• 22:12
  She leaves. Bowman then gets up and staggers
• 22:15
  to the bathroom. She splashes some water on her
• 22:17
  face and as she looks at herself and she runs her fingers through
• 22:20
  her hair and she realized clumps of her hair coming out.
• 22:22
  So now she's horrified, desperate.
• 22:25
  She goes to Six Pack's room. I don't know what he's going to
• 22:28
  do. She tells him her hair is
• 22:30
  falling out, then sees his arm sticking out from under the
• 22:32
  sheet and it's covered in this huge oozing lesion.
• 22:36
  Then she she's like freaked out and she touches her own neck,
• 22:39
  realizing that she's showing the same signs.
• 22:41
  So then we have the doc, Beck and Jones who come back down to
• 22:44
  check on her. Jones and Beck go into where
• 22:49
  she's supposed to be and you can hear Jones like I just, I was
• 22:52
  just here. She was just in here.
• 22:53
  This is where I left her. I swear I did.
• 22:54
  But the dock here is running water from the other direction.
• 22:57
  So he goes to where the showers are.
• 22:59
  When he opens up one of the showers, he finds Bowman inside.
• 23:02
  She has slit her wrists and killed herself.
• 23:04
  So then Williams and Jones and Beck show up and they are in
• 23:08
  shock and Williams is visibly shaken.
• 23:10
  She's very upset about it. So then the crew gathers in the
• 23:13
  mess hall and everything comes out.
• 23:16
  They find out six pack is dead. De Jesus asks if the disease got
• 23:21
  Bowman 2, but the doc insists she took her own life.
• 23:24
  Jones mutters and at least they'll be evacuated just in
• 23:26
  time. And then Beck drops the bomb.
• 23:28
  Well, there's a hurricane and we're delayed at least 12 hours.
• 23:33
  So now they're like, what? We can't go 12 hours?
• 23:36
  What the fuck so. I don't have stamina for that.
• 23:40
  Yeah, so as the crew reacts angrily, a loud clanging sound
• 23:45
  echoes through the habitat. So Beck insists on investigating
• 23:48
  with the dock while the others wait there in the mess hall.
• 23:51
  So they go back to the clinic, and they find that the medical
• 23:53
  bed that Bowman was on, I couldn't tell if it was
• 23:55
  overturned or if just stuff had fallen on the floor, but that's
• 23:59
  what made the the loud noise. So then they go in to check 6
• 24:02
  Pack's room, only to discover something really grotesque. 6
• 24:06
  Pack and Bowman's bodies have fused together to a single
• 24:09
  fleshy, pulsating mass. So horrified.
• 24:15
  Of course, Beck and Docker absolutely horrified.
• 24:18
  And 1 answers what? It's it's the beast with two
• 24:21
  backs. And faces like and it's all like
• 24:27
  wet. That was like lovely.
• 24:29
  It was it was very 80s looking. So they decide that what they're
• 24:36
  going to have to do is they're going to have to bag the thing
• 24:38
  up in a body bag. Must have been a really big
• 24:41
  because they were and it was not like they were like on top of
• 24:44
  each other, you know, parallel. They were like a big weirdly
• 24:47
  conjoined glob. They, I don't know, I guess they
• 24:51
  had an extra large body bag that they could shove this thing into
• 24:54
  in a weird way. They do come in small, medium,
• 24:56
  large and extra. Large, I suppose.
• 24:58
  So they shove it into the. They decide to bag it up and
• 25:02
  they are going to flush it outside through the lift lock.
• 25:06
  So now they get everybody and the crew together and they're
• 25:08
  carrying the body bag through the corridors and everybody's
• 25:12
  like, I don't, I think the manual says that, you know, we
• 25:15
  can't flush human remains to the.
• 25:19
  This is an actual manual. Somebody had to write that shit
• 25:24
  in the manual. It must have happened before.
• 25:27
  Well, I mean, I suppose it's like, you know, bleach having
• 25:30
  the warning of do not drink. Right, right.
• 25:33
  Yeah. I remember I had a coffee pot
• 25:34
  once. This is back before Keurigs.
• 25:36
  And on the coffee pot on the bottom, it said do not hold over
• 25:40
  your head. God.
• 25:50
  So some idiot I guess held a coffee pot over their head.
• 25:53
  It must have broke or I don't know.
• 25:55
  When you know when they do that stuff, it's because some dumbass
• 25:57
  has done it. Someones actually done it, yeah.
• 26:01
  As they're talking about this, Jesus is like, wait, I feel
• 26:04
  something and Cobb's like, they're dead.
• 26:06
  You can't be feeling anything. And then Cobb's like, wait a
• 26:08
  minute, hold on. I just felt something too.
• 26:10
  So this thing is moving inside this bag.
• 26:13
  But now they're really freaking out.
• 26:14
  They're like, wait, we can't just throw live people out into
• 26:18
  the ocean, even though it's not in the manual, I don't think.
• 26:21
  But we can't. I don't need a manual, I mean.
• 26:25
  It said. I mean, technically it did say
• 26:27
  human remains. It said nothing about live
• 26:30
  humans. Right.
• 26:31
  Yeah, that's true. So maybe they can, you know,
• 26:34
  sweep around that. Now Cobb is insisting that they
• 26:37
  they can't throw it out, and he wants to look in the bag, so he
• 26:40
  goes to open it. And Beck is like, no.
• 26:43
  And all of a sudden, this monstrous appendage rips out
• 26:47
  through the bag, clawing Cobb in the chest.
• 26:50
  Then they all panic. They shove the bag onto the lip
• 26:53
  lock. Beck is over there with it.
• 26:55
  And, you know, there's like a tense moment where, Oh my God,
• 26:58
  he might not get off this lift lock, but of course he does.
• 27:00
  And he jumps to freedom before it goes down and they eject it
• 27:03
  out into the ocean. But I'm really glad that he made
• 27:05
  it because I mean that that was a tense moment, yeah.
• 27:09
  I had no idea that he was going to make it.
• 27:11
  None. Now, of course, as with most
• 27:14
  horror movies, like this kind of thing.
• 27:15
  Part of the thing 'cause that bag was open where it ripped
• 27:18
  through, Part of it did get caught between the lift lock
• 27:24
  going down and the floor. And when it got to the point
• 27:26
  where it cut it cut it off. So now there's a part of this
• 27:29
  thing which is looks like a leg because there's a distinct foot
• 27:32
  at the end of it. But then the rest of it is just
• 27:34
  this weird gross thing. But it gets, it stays on the
• 27:38
  ship or on the whatever they're on.
• 27:39
  They have some sort of like random running water in this
• 27:44
  ship that just really, really runs through the ship like a
• 27:47
  small Creek. I don't know if it's for
• 27:51
  ambience. I don't know why they have it,
• 27:53
  but it's there and it gets into that.
• 27:56
  So it's floating around in this Creek on the ship, but no one
• 28:01
  knows that. No one saw it happen.
• 28:02
  Of course, after the body, whole body bag fiasco, the crew is
• 28:05
  very much shaken up by this. They stare at each other in
• 28:09
  silence while the dock tends to Cobb's chest wound.
• 28:11
  Outside, we see a view of the bag floating out in the ocean.
• 28:14
  And I was like, this means you've just released this damn
• 28:17
  thing into the open water. Like, great, nice job.
• 28:20
  Now everybody in the world is going to have to deal with this
• 28:22
  sea creature in the ocean, right?
• 28:26
  Like did you not think about this?
• 28:29
  I mean, they probably thought that, you know, it was dead.
• 28:31
  Right, even though it just reached up and clawed right you.
• 28:35
  Know but sure. I mean, it could have died.
• 28:39
  Right after that, it was 1 final thing that just had to do right.
• 28:42
  We see the body bag go off into the ocean, the severed piece
• 28:45
  that fell into the habitat. We start seeing it moving around
• 28:49
  on its own. It's drifting through the water
• 28:50
  system, but you can still see that it's it's moving itself
• 28:54
  through the water system. It's not just floating.
• 28:56
  So you know that it's got some liveness about it.
• 28:59
  Right. Some sort of some.
• 29:03
  Yeah, like you, some sort of life.
• 29:04
  Yeah, liveness isn't a word, but whatever.
• 29:09
  It is now. It is now.
• 29:11
  So Williams. Then she heads to the shower,
• 29:13
  desperate to scrub herself clean.
• 29:15
  She's screaming and crying. She's clearly traumatized.
• 29:18
  And I will say this is the only part of this movie where you see
• 29:22
  some. Even though she's wearing a bra
• 29:24
  and underwear, her bra is white and wet.
• 29:27
  And typically in 80s movies you see a lot of.
• 29:29
  TNA. Yeah, TNA.
• 29:32
  And even though there was some brief TNA from the poster that
• 29:35
  was that 6 pack was looking at, this is the first time one of
• 29:39
  the crew members. You kind of slightly do see some
• 29:41
  a little bit, but I was actually surprised there wasn't more
• 29:44
  going because it's an 80s movie. You almost always have it.
• 29:47
  She's very upset. Meanwhile, Beck and doc review
• 29:49
  footage Willie shot inside the Russian Infirmary.
• 29:52
  They zoom in on a skull. The doc notes that it's far
• 29:56
  larger than normal. They also look at a hand.
• 29:59
  And again, that is also oversized and strangely shaped.
• 30:03
  The the doc theorizes the Russians were experimenting with
• 30:06
  genetic alteration to create Homo aquaticus, basically an
• 30:11
  Aquaman who could live and work underwater.
• 30:14
  So you could have underwater mining, underwater farming, all
• 30:17
  kinds of stuff and not have to worry about oxygen, I guess.
• 30:21
  Beck scoffs it off, saying what's next?
• 30:23
  If we run out of airplanes, we we make bird people.
• 30:30
  The dog mutters something in another language, which he then
• 30:33
  translates into Don't Fuck with Mother Nature elsewhere.
• 30:37
  Yeah, that severed piece we saw earlier sprouts some tea.
• 30:40
  And this is where it kind of starts feeling a little alien,
• 30:43
  like a little bit because of the way that thing comes out.
• 30:46
  It's just this little mouth or whatever or something.
• 30:48
  But it starts feeling like underwater alien.
• 30:51
  To me, wait, that that's what made you think of Alien?
• 30:54
  Well, I mean, there were other parts, but I was like, that part
• 30:56
  really felt very alien like to me.
• 30:58
  There's another part later on that's definitely very alien
• 31:00
  like. Well, I was going to say there
• 31:02
  was like a big thing like in the in the 80s, early 90s, where you
• 31:07
  had like this ragtag group of people, you know, men and women
• 31:12
  like on this spaceship or on, on a submarine or something.
• 31:18
  Yeah, something desolate and included.
• 31:21
  And there's like some sort of creature coming after them and,
• 31:24
  you know, they don't know what's going on, but then, like, they
• 31:27
  know everything's going on. Yeah.
• 31:29
  So I mean, there's a lot of like, I mean, 'cause it reminded
• 31:31
  me a lot of Alien, reminded me a lot of like.
• 31:35
  The thing? The thing, yeah.
• 31:38
  What's the other one? Event Horizon which is one of
• 31:40
  my. Favorites.
• 31:41
  Oh yeah, yeah. You know.
• 31:42
  It all had that ragtag sort of thing about it.
• 31:46
  Right. Yeah, so it definitely did.
• 31:47
  So this severed piece sprouts some teeth, and we realize it's
• 31:51
  not dead and that it's actually growing.
• 31:53
  So then Beck wants to alert the company, but the dock cynically
• 31:56
  warns that Tri Oceanic only cares about profit.
• 31:59
  He doesn't believe they'll rescue them if it if it risks
• 32:02
  them money. Beck hopes he's wrong, though
• 32:04
  his faith is clearly slipping. Then, in one of those classic
• 32:07
  horror moments as Beck is leaving, we get an overview
• 32:12
  where we see the dock from above.
• 32:14
  And there's, I know, like an air duct or some kind of ventilation
• 32:18
  thing, and there's a part of it that's broken out and it's
• 32:21
  dripping some slime. So we realized the creature has
• 32:24
  already made its way inside the ventilation system and inside of
• 32:28
  the clinic area, I guess. But the time that hole was time
• 32:31
  first of all. And I don't know how they didn't
• 32:33
  hear it breaking through this metal and dropping to the floor
• 32:38
  because The thing is it, it was big already before it started
• 32:41
  growing teeth and another head or whatever.
• 32:44
  But I was like how did they not hear that?
• 32:46
  So then we got Beck, Jones and Cobb.
• 32:49
  They searched 6 packs bunk and find his empty flask.
• 32:52
  They realized he really did drink the vodka.
• 32:55
  Cobb asks why the Russians would lace vodka with anything and
• 32:58
  Jones spells it out. You know why?
• 33:02
  And Jones spells it out. He's like, it was an experiment,
• 33:04
  man. They're Russian.
• 33:05
  They're going to drink vodka. Duh.
• 33:08
  Racist just assuming that because they're Russian that
• 33:12
  they're going to drink vodka, right?
• 33:16
  Disgusting. Disgusting.
• 33:22
  So now the stress is getting to everyone.
• 33:25
  And in the dining hall, they're they're arguing, they're
• 33:27
  snapping at each other. William storms out to go
• 33:29
  running, which is her coping mechanism.
• 33:32
  The Jesus is sitting there working on a puzzle, dangering
• 33:35
  about the Swiss Alps and skiing and whatever, which pisses Jones
• 33:40
  off. He's like, how can you just sit
• 33:41
  there doing a puzzle while all this is going on?
• 33:43
  And the Jesus just kind of shrugs.
• 33:44
  And he's like, well, this is how I deal with stress.
• 33:47
  So then we see Williams again, and she's jogging in the
• 33:49
  corridors while the camera lingers on shadows in the water
• 33:52
  system. And so you can see that it's, it
• 33:55
  seems to be everywhere, this thing.
• 33:56
  And then back in the control room, Beck reports to Miss
• 33:59
  Martin again. She asks if it's still just the
• 34:02
  one that was affected. And he says yes, they aren't
• 34:04
  counting Bowman's since she technically killed herself.
• 34:07
  And then Martin ends the call abruptly.
• 34:08
  She ends every call abruptly with this humongous remote
• 34:12
  control. It's so big.
• 34:15
  So meanwhile, De Jesus, who's in the kitchen now and he's making
• 34:18
  popcorn and he's hunting for butter in the weirdest places.
• 34:23
  Yeah, yeah, everywhere but the fridge.
• 34:26
  Everywhere. Now I can understand if you have
• 34:29
  it like I have my butter. I have some in the fridge and I
• 34:30
  also have some in a butter. Over the dish.
• 34:34
  A butter dish. Yeah, on the counter.
• 34:35
  But I don't keep my butter in the cabinets.
• 34:38
  I don't know anybody that keeps their butter in the cabinets.
• 34:39
  But he's looking through all the cabinets, trying to find butter
• 34:42
  while he opens one of the cabinets and of course, boom,
• 34:47
  out pops the creature. It lunges at him, it wraps
• 34:49
  around his arm, and it drives its head into his chest, trying
• 34:52
  to Burrow inside. Jesus is screaming Jones, who's
• 34:55
  just in the next room. He's watching TV, but he has
• 34:58
  headphones on, so he's oblivious at first.
• 35:00
  I. Think the creature was just
• 35:01
  trying to snuggle to. Be honest.
• 35:03
  Yeah, he's probably looking for butter.
• 35:06
  It's in the Jesus. This is where we keep it.
• 35:10
  We keep it in your chest, dude. Right.
• 35:13
  De Jesus is screaming. Jones is watching TV with
• 35:15
  headphones, so he doesn't know what's going on.
• 35:17
  Then De Jesus rips some wires out, spraying this pink fluid
• 35:20
  everywhere, which I thought was going to go somewhere.
• 35:22
  I thought something was going to happen with this pink fluid, but
• 35:25
  nothing did. And then he ends up crashing
• 35:27
  through the glass door that separates the kitchen from where
• 35:31
  Jones is in the mess hall. And that's when Jones finally
• 35:34
  realizes some shit's going down. So now Jones is panic doesn't
• 35:38
  want to get anywhere near Dehaze Zeus.
• 35:40
  And he's like, stay away, dude. He's like, I'm going to go get
• 35:43
  some help. So he walks out and he closes
• 35:47
  this massive, what I'm assuming is a huge metal door and it's
• 35:53
  round and it rolls in. It's it's a very, it's like a
• 35:55
  gigantic weight that you would put like on a barbell or
• 35:59
  something, but it's huge. And you're assuming it's
• 36:01
  probably going to be pretty thick, right?
• 36:03
  So then he runs before he takes off, he runs into Cobb and he's
• 36:07
  like dude, some shits going down in there.
• 36:09
  Hey, Sue's been attacked by this monster, just keep an eye on the
• 36:13
  door. Then he runs off to go find the
• 36:15
  dock. Jones gets back in the dock and
• 36:18
  then and they're mid conversation about Martin and
• 36:21
  her lies. So then he gets them, tells him
• 36:23
  what's going on. They rush back towards the the
• 36:26
  mess hall and they find Cobb is not there at 1st and there's a
• 36:31
  big hole in this metal door where obviously this monster has
• 36:35
  come out of. Then Cobb shows up and he's got
• 36:37
  this big chainsaw thing. Jones is like I told you to wash
• 36:39
  the door and he's like, I'm not going to wash the door with the
• 36:41
  House of protection. I'm not going to.
• 36:43
  I don't know what the fuck this thing is and it's a good thing
• 36:44
  obviously, because I think they come right Obviously comes right
• 36:46
  through it. Then the power flickers out and
• 36:50
  then goes out completely. Can't believe it.
• 36:53
  The power went. Out.
• 36:54
  It's almost like somebody unplugged all the phones or cut
• 36:57
  the phone line, same thing. So then, but then the backup
• 37:01
  generator does kick in, but there and there are some damn
• 37:03
  emergency lights. So we do at least have some
• 37:05
  lighting. Then they all realize that
• 37:06
  Williams is still out running somewhere alone, so they decide
• 37:09
  to split up. Doc and Cop go one way, Beck and
• 37:12
  Jones go the other. Beck and Jones do find Williams
• 37:15
  scarf floating in that stream they have that's inside this
• 37:19
  thing. And their worst fear, of course,
• 37:21
  is that something happened to her.
• 37:22
  But then she drops down from the ceiling, startling, and they're
• 37:25
  like, whoa, what the fuck are you doing?
• 37:26
  She's like, oh, I was investigating the flickering
• 37:28
  lights. They explained it to her that
• 37:30
  the Jesus is gone, the creature got him, and that it's still on
• 37:34
  board. So now they're all like freaking
• 37:36
  out. They decide to arm themselves
• 37:37
  with chainsaws, drills, flame throwner throwers, whatever they
• 37:40
  can find, right? Whatever.
• 37:41
  Whatever you would find in an underwater.
• 37:44
  Yeah, Vessel. And they happen to have all
• 37:46
  those things. Right.
• 37:48
  Flamethrowers, all kinds of shit.
• 37:51
  So then the Doc and Cobb are searching the Infirmary.
• 37:55
  They find blood splattered across one of the walls and the
• 37:59
  glass doc realizes that the creature got into the butt the
• 38:03
  blood supply. While he's realizing that Cobb
• 38:05
  spot some torn wires. So he goes over there to where
• 38:08
  those are and he crouches down to investigate and a tentacle
• 38:11
  lashes out at him, wrapping around his leg.
• 38:13
  It's pulling him and he's screaming and he's reaching for
• 38:16
  his chainsaw that he dropped. He put it down to check out the
• 38:18
  wires. Then the doc realizes what's
• 38:21
  going on. He comes over, he grabs the
• 38:23
  chainsaw and he cuts through the tentacle.
• 38:26
  And when he cuts to the tentacle, it's funny because
• 38:28
  there's no like, it's a very clean cut.
• 38:31
  There's no spurting of blood or ooze or nothing.
• 38:35
  It's just a simple clean cut. It makes the thing go and it,
• 38:40
  you know, backs off and goes away.
• 38:45
  It does. It's like the side pitch, like
• 38:47
  it's the squeal Island was funny.
• 38:49
  Well, I mean it. It probably hurt the poor thing.
• 38:52
  I'm sure it did. Poor thing, but it was a nice
• 38:54
  clean. It was a really good cut.
• 38:56
  I mean, obviously he's a doctor. I mean, it just let me know he
• 38:58
  was really a doctor. That is true.
• 39:00
  You know, I mean, him being a doctor, you know, I mean, we
• 39:03
  don't know if he's a medical doctor or, you know, per SE.
• 39:07
  I mean, because the other guy's a as a captain, but he's a
• 39:11
  geologist, really. Right, right.
• 39:13
  But this proved it to me because it was a clean cut.
• 39:15
  It was super good. Right.
• 39:16
  OK, fair, fair. So then the crew reunites all.
• 39:20
  Back in the mess hall, the doc explains the thing craves blood
• 39:24
  to grow. Jones cracks.
• 39:26
  Great, we've got a Dracula on board.
• 39:28
  The doc adds that it's also regenerative, fish like, and
• 39:31
  disturbingly intelligent, and knew exactly where to go for the
• 39:34
  blood supply. And it's always like, mean,
• 39:36
  almost like it's not just the creature itself.
• 39:39
  It's part 6 back, part Boneman and part de Jesus and they're
• 39:42
  like, yeah, possibly. Or, like many animals, that
• 39:45
  could just have a good sense of smell, right?
• 39:52
  They really do like reach for some things out of nowhere.
• 39:55
  Even just the genetic alteration like they that was like the
• 39:59
  first thing the doctor went to. Of anything that it could
• 40:02
  possibly be, it's genetic alteration.
• 40:04
  Of course it has to be. It can't be anything else.
• 40:06
  It's not possible. So Cobb insists they abandoned
• 40:10
  ship and head to the surface immediately.
• 40:12
  Jones scoffs and says in the middle of a hurricane, are you
• 40:14
  crazy? Because Jones, by the way, he
• 40:17
  doesn't even want to go up top when there's waves, much less a.
• 40:20
  Hurricane, yeah, you know, Jones tends to be the the -1 of the
• 40:24
  crew. Yeah.
• 40:26
  Yeah, he thinks like every plan is dumb.
• 40:28
  Right. Yeah, totally.
• 40:29
  Which which? I love him for that.
• 40:31
  Right. And he's, but he's also kind of
• 40:35
  funny about it. He makes a lot of fun jokes.
• 40:37
  But yeah, he's definitely a negative Nelly for sure.
• 40:39
  Williams then turns to Beck and says, So what do we do?
• 40:43
  And Beck lays out the plan. They're going to flush the
• 40:45
  creature out. But this time they're going to,
• 40:47
  you know, they'll be prepared. They're going to basically use
• 40:50
  something to lure them out. So Beck decides that the only
• 40:53
  way to lure the creature out is with blood.
• 40:54
  So he has the doc draw some from his arm and then lays out the
• 40:57
  plan. Ian Jones will lead the thing
• 41:00
  towards the lift lock while the others stay behind.
• 41:03
  They all agree to meet back in the mess hall in 30 minutes.
• 41:06
  How they know this is only going to take 30 minutes, I don't
• 41:09
  know, right? But they got it down.
• 41:12
  You know, 'cause the creature's supposed to be super smart, so.
• 41:15
  Yeah, well, they must have let the creature run out of the
• 41:16
  plan. Must have told them 30 minutes
• 41:18
  to 30. Minutes.
• 41:19
  We're going to do this in 30 minutes, you know, just do your
• 41:22
  part and we'll be good. Right, we have movie time
• 41:24
  constraints. So all right, so if and then
• 41:28
  then he says if if Beck and Jones don't return, the others
• 41:31
  are to get in their into their bubbles.
• 41:34
  They call them bubbles, which are really just pods and head to
• 41:37
  the surface. So Beck and Jones Jones armed
• 41:40
  themselves with the two flamethrowers while they're
• 41:42
  walking through with all the corridors towards the lift lock.
• 41:45
  Beck is dripping a trail of blood across the floor as bait
• 41:49
  for the monster. And by this time that thing has
• 41:51
  grown pretty massive. It's gotten pretty big.
• 41:53
  It grows real fast. So back in the mess hall, Willie
• 41:56
  and the dock, while Cobb scratches at his chest wound.
• 41:59
  He says it itches like crazy. The dog checks it and tells him,
• 42:02
  well, it's just because it's healing.
• 42:03
  Then the doc says I'm going to go to the Infirmary to fetch
• 42:07
  some fresh bandages to make you more comfortable.
• 42:10
  Willie warns him he shouldn't go without protection.
• 42:13
  And he just stares at her for a second and then just walks away.
• 42:18
  It's like, OK. So then he goes to the control
• 42:20
  room. First.
• 42:21
  He sits at the computer and he starts typing out an e-mail or
• 42:25
  whatever it is, I guess a. Communication.
• 42:28
  Communication. Yeah, it's an e-mail.
• 42:32
  Didn't even know what e-mail was then.
• 42:34
  OK, So he reports to the naval authorities and to the company
• 42:39
  that about the genetic mutation on board.
• 42:41
  And he tells them that we're going to just go down with the
• 42:44
  ship, like, don't rescue us. We're just going to die here
• 42:47
  because we don't. He doesn't.
• 42:47
  He doesn't want this thing going out all over, even though
• 42:50
  they've already set it out into the ocean.
• 42:52
  He doesn't want it going anywhere.
• 42:53
  He pushes some buttons and he releases the escape pods, which
• 42:56
  were those bubbles they were talking about, designed for
• 42:59
  evacuation. He does this without telling
• 43:00
  anyone. He clearly thinks that they're
• 43:02
  all doomed and doesn't want this thing reaching the surface.
• 43:05
  I'm assuming that when he saw Cobb's chest, it really wasn't
• 43:08
  healing. He could tell that it was
• 43:10
  turning into something worse. Meanwhile, Beck and Jones are
• 43:13
  creeping through the corridors toward the lift lock.
• 43:15
  They hear strange noises and Beck says, you hear that?
• 43:18
  And Jones nods. They open the heavy doors, step
• 43:21
  inside and get into position. Now Jones stays at the door with
• 43:26
  his flamethrower aimed at the door while Beck Lot goes all the
• 43:29
  way back to the lift lock with the trail of blood and puts his
• 43:34
  flamethrower down and then lays down on the lift lock.
• 43:36
  I have no idea why. Yeah, that was weird.
• 43:39
  I mean, why didn't he just stay at the door with the other
• 43:42
  flamethrower, right? And I don't understand why I had
• 43:45
  to go all the way back to lift lock unless he was afraid.
• 43:47
  Jones. If Jones couldn't handle it and
• 43:49
  it got through, I don't know. It didn't make any sense.
• 43:51
  So back in the Infirmary, the Doc has returned to Cobb and
• 43:53
  Willie and he has new bandages and shit and he's washing his
• 43:59
  hands and asks Cobb to remove his shirt.
• 44:02
  Cobb is struggling to do so because now he's all dressed in
• 44:05
  sweat and he's trembling just like 6 pack was.
• 44:07
  He asks Willie to help him and she goes to help him.
• 44:11
  It looks at him and under his shirt you can see this thing
• 44:14
  just bulging and shifting and moving unnaturally.
• 44:17
  So she recoils in horror and you can tell that there's something
• 44:21
  in there wanting to get out, which is also, again, very alien
• 44:24
  like. Yeah, very alien.
• 44:26
  Yeah, so she screams for the doc.
• 44:28
  He rushes over, grabs Cobb. Well, Cobb raises his arm and
• 44:32
  then the doc grabs a hold of it. His hand is opened up towards
• 44:36
  the doc's face and we see a close up of the inside of his
• 44:39
  hand and it's this slit in the in his hand that has a whole
• 44:44
  bunch of teeth in it. It looks really silly but
• 44:48
  whatever. I mean, I get his 80s, but it
• 44:51
  was kind. Of like almost kind of like the
• 44:53
  movie teeth. Yeah, Yeah, it does.
• 44:56
  Yeah, the other places, yeah. So, so it snaps at the dock and
• 45:03
  then Willie bolts. She's out of there.
• 45:04
  She sprints down the corridor only to run directly into the
• 45:07
  creature and she sees Beck. I mean, Beck and Jones are
• 45:10
  there. And it's funny because it feels
• 45:12
  like Beck and Jones are really far away from the Infirmary,
• 45:16
  from where they where the not the Infirmary from where the
• 45:20
  comms are, where the other three were.
• 45:21
  Doc and Willie and Cobbs, because they had walked all
• 45:24
  these corridors, lay this trail of blood.
• 45:27
  But as soon as what's her name comes running out, she's right
• 45:29
  where they are. Unless they just cut that part
• 45:33
  out to make it so we didn't have to watch her running through the
• 45:34
  whole thing. I don't know, but it seemed like
• 45:36
  she was right there. Well, maybe she has the same the
• 45:39
  same power or or the same walking speed as Jason Voorhees.
• 45:49
  Maybe she shows up later on as a horror fiction character.
• 45:52
  That'd be kind of funny. She's just, she's been saying
• 45:55
  she's practicing for her astronaut tryouts, but really
• 45:58
  she's practicing for her murder psycho murder tryout for her
• 46:02
  next film. So she ends up running into Beck
• 46:06
  and Jones, but the creature is also right there.
• 46:09
  This of course has ruined the trap 'cause now the she turns to
• 46:13
  flee again and the monster is chasing after her instead of
• 46:16
  following the blood trail. So now Beck and Jones have no
• 46:18
  choice but to abandon that plan and run to go find Williams.
• 46:22
  And they, they're hiding like in this little alcove.
• 46:25
  And Williams runs, runs up to that alcove and just happens to
• 46:28
  stop right in front of them and not see them.
• 46:29
  And then they grab her. She screams a little, they cover
• 46:32
  her mouth, and she's really upset and shaken about it.
• 46:35
  And so now they're like, what the fuck are we doing?
• 46:37
  And she tells them about Cobb, that he's infected and that, you
• 46:40
  know, all this shit's going on. And they also realize that there
• 46:43
  are other creatures roaming free.
• 46:44
  So now they know that there's two monsters at least on this
• 46:47
  ship or whatever this is they're on, and the station, I don't
• 46:51
  know, keep calling a ship. Whatever, whatever it is.
• 46:54
  So with no other options, they decide it's time to get to the
• 46:57
  surface. So before they head out, we do
• 46:59
  get a glimpse of the dock and he's alone.
• 47:01
  You can tell that he's obviously gotten attacked, got a he's got
• 47:04
  a really thick tear. It's like super thick coming out
• 47:07
  of his eye. And he's all up leaned up
• 47:10
  against some machinery and he's sweaty and whatever.
• 47:13
  He's obviously in some agony. Beck, Jones and Williams race to
• 47:17
  the control room, ready to launch the levels or the pods to
• 47:20
  the surface, only discover they're gone because, you know,
• 47:23
  the doc already released them. They also see what he sent out
• 47:26
  about the sacrifice and saying that he hopes it prevents the
• 47:29
  mutation from spreading to the surface.
• 47:31
  So now the three survivors are devastated, and they feel like
• 47:33
  they're trapped. Oh no.
• 47:36
  Then there's a pounding on the massive steel door.
• 47:39
  It's that same heavy design door that they we saw earlier at the
• 47:42
  kitchen and Beck throws protocol aside, triggers the com system
• 47:47
  and sends an SOS. He overrides the doc's final
• 47:50
  message and types out disregard previous urgent come and get us.
• 47:54
  So then Miss Martin appears on a screen almost immediately and
• 47:58
  she's all oh, thank God you're safe.
• 48:01
  Right. I am so happy.
• 48:04
  Phew. She's she insists that Tri
• 48:06
  Oceanic would never abandoned them and that they were just
• 48:09
  concerned after receiving the doc's earlier message.
• 48:12
  And then Beck and Jones, of course, aren't buying it.
• 48:14
  They ask when rescue is coming and she says the hurricane is
• 48:18
  definitely locked in on their position.
• 48:20
  And it will be at least 48 hours before pick up.
• 48:23
  And they're like 48 hours, and they all know they're never
• 48:26
  going to survive that long. That's like 2 days.
• 48:29
  Yeah, it's just like that. Martin signs off with her usual
• 48:38
  corporate indifference and telling them to just rest.
• 48:41
  And Jones is like, rest. How the hell am I supposed to
• 48:44
  rest? It's like I can't rest for the
• 48:46
  rest of my life. Beck tells the others that
• 48:48
  they'll just have to take, you know, shifts and take watch and
• 48:53
  he'll be the first one to do it. But Jones still mutters.
• 48:55
  He's like, I don't know how I'm going to rest.
• 48:56
  Not now, not ever, not with all this going on.
• 48:58
  So later you can tell some time has passed, obviously.
• 49:01
  Beck then tries to access the weather reports and it says it's
• 49:05
  denied. So then he tries again, and it's
• 49:08
  denied again. So then Willie tries to check
• 49:10
  her stock portfolio since she has since she's a shareholder in
• 49:13
  Trioceanic. And the system spits back a news
• 49:15
  report that Shack 7 has suffered an accident.
• 49:18
  All crew presumed dead. Stocks have plummeted.
• 49:21
  The company has already written them off.
• 49:23
  And it has all the names in the reports of every crew member.
• 49:26
  And that basically Trioceanic is just, you know, covering their
• 49:30
  ass or doing whatever they can, even though they know that
• 49:33
  they're alive. The woman just talked to them.
• 49:35
  So before they can even process this betrayal, alarms flare.
• 49:39
  Tentacle Yanks down a pipe. The computer voice announces
• 49:42
  danger. Danger. 10 minutes to implosion.
• 49:45
  So then then, and apparently the air supply has been compromised.
• 49:50
  So now they're all going to suffocate before or, or they'll
• 49:53
  just be in there when the shack collapses because it's going to
• 49:56
  implode on itself. So now Jones, and this is way
• 49:59
  out there, Jones realizes that this that what's happening is
• 50:03
  also coming from the same place where Cobb once repaired
• 50:06
  machinery with the bubble gum. He thinks that I guess he can
• 50:09
  fix it with more gum. I don't know, why don't they
• 50:15
  just give this monster some gum and see?
• 50:17
  Right. Yeah, it might stop the whole
• 50:19
  thing. I mean, that's probably what he
• 50:20
  wants is some gum. Yeah, some gum.
• 50:23
  Give me some gum. Right.
• 50:27
  So, so now Beck and Jones, they rushed to the spot and when they
• 50:33
  get there and Williams is with them too, but she doesn't go
• 50:36
  down into the because they have to go down under the floor to
• 50:38
  get to where this machine is. But when they get there, it's
• 50:41
  too damaged to fix. Really.
• 50:43
  I'm shocked. Wow, I can't believe that gum
• 50:46
  didn't hold up. So they argue.
• 50:49
  It wasn't I, I bet you it wasn't Bazooka Joe it.
• 50:52
  Probably was not. Bazooka Joe would have held that
• 50:55
  shit together. Without problems, Yeah, that
• 50:58
  that or what's another hard gum double bubble?
• 51:00
  Yeah, double bubble. You got to really chew that
• 51:02
  shit. So now they're all kind of
• 51:04
  arguing, ish. Not really arguing, but they're
• 51:06
  just trying to figure out what the fuck to do.
• 51:07
  And then Jones remembers that there's another air valve near
• 51:10
  the swamp, which is where what they call the lift lock area.
• 51:14
  I guess that's why there's all that water in there.
• 51:15
  And so they decide they're going to race toward it, but Jones
• 51:19
  suddenly freezes. He swears he sees the doc's face
• 51:22
  in the shadows. Beck insists it's impossible,
• 51:24
  but Jones is rattled. Beck looks at it too, and it
• 51:26
  looks like they can see it. So then a massive tentacle whips
• 51:30
  out, snapping at them. They torch it with their
• 51:32
  flamethrowers, and then above them, because they're still down
• 51:36
  below, above them, Willie blasts her flamethrower as well.
• 51:39
  She's got one of them. So now this creature, which is
• 51:42
  enormous, does relent and, you know, back off.
• 51:46
  So now the three of them, they run.
• 51:49
  The doors are starting to slam shut.
• 51:51
  The system itself is doing this. It's making all the doors close.
• 51:54
  It's the safety safety protocol. Yeah, I'm sure it's in the
• 51:58
  manual. I'm sorry.
• 52:02
  So all these doors are starting to shut.
• 52:03
  And so they know that they have to get through these doors
• 52:05
  before they all close in order to get out the lift lock area.
• 52:09
  They're running. Beck and Jones are ahead.
• 52:12
  They jump in to hold the door open.
• 52:14
  Willie is behind them. And as she's running, the floor
• 52:18
  floor is basically just like grates or whatever, and they
• 52:22
  fall away and they break away. So she's stuck.
• 52:24
  She's got to worry about this creature.
• 52:26
  It's coming and Beck goes over to help her.
• 52:29
  This is the part where she jumps up because there's no floor for
• 52:31
  her to walk across. So she jumps up and grabs hold
• 52:34
  of whatever's above her and she's going to shimmy across.
• 52:37
  But that of course falls. So now Beck runs over and she's
• 52:40
  hanging down there and you can see the monster a pretty good
• 52:43
  ways behind her. But he he's, you know, he's
• 52:44
  going to be coming up on her. So there's a really tense moment
• 52:48
  where you don't think she's going to make it, but and Beck's
• 52:50
  like, take my hand, take my hand, take my hand.
• 52:52
  She finally takes his hand. He pulls her up.
• 52:54
  It's all fine. They get through the door.
• 52:57
  They keep running. Another heavy door begins to
• 52:59
  close. Jones throws himself in between
• 53:01
  that and the wall, and he's trying to hold it open.
• 53:04
  Yeah. And, and I, I have to say that
• 53:07
  he has tremendous amount of strength.
• 53:11
  Yeah, that's crazy. To hold that door open is
• 53:15
  supposed to be like one of those like automatic huge ass metal
• 53:18
  doors and he's just holding it open like it's an elevator door.
• 53:21
  Yeah, he's doing a really good job of it.
• 53:23
  I was like, yeah, OK, dude, he would be squished for sure.
• 53:27
  They're running towards it and she gets to it and Beck gets,
• 53:33
  for some reason, I can't even remember why, but he gets
• 53:35
  grabbed by a tentacle and you think, Oh my God, it's the end
• 53:40
  of Beck. Oh no, no, not Beck and.
• 53:44
  Jones, who's still holding this door open but has the ability to
• 53:47
  say grab the hand saw on the table beside you so.
• 53:56
  Full blown conversation as he's getting squished.
• 53:59
  So he ends up pulling the table over.
• 54:02
  He grabs the hand saw he cuts the tentacle, which of course
• 54:06
  makes the thing go and back away.
• 54:10
  So they get through all the doors and they finally get into
• 54:13
  the room where in the lock lift where all the suits are,
• 54:16
  everything's falling like everything's falling apart
• 54:19
  crashing down around them. The air valve that they hope to
• 54:22
  use for whatever reason, I don't know what they're going to use
• 54:25
  it for they're going to breathe through it.
• 54:26
  I don't know, 2 blown out or whatever and it's scalding hot
• 54:30
  air pouring through it and Jones can't do anything with it.
• 54:33
  The main door that they came through is also jammed, so it's
• 54:37
  there's a partial opening of course and just being there
• 54:40
  without the chance of the monster getting in of.
• 54:42
  Course. I mean, he needs love too, yeah.
• 54:47
  And so the only chance now is to get into these suits and get the
• 54:50
  heck out of there. Beck orders Williams to grab
• 54:53
  the. There's some, like, flotation
• 54:55
  balloons or something. They're like inflatable bladders
• 54:58
  that will help them pull their suits up to the to the surface.
• 55:01
  He's telling Williams and Jones to get into their suits.
• 55:05
  Jones and Williams climb into their suits, and just then, the
• 55:07
  creature crashes in through the door.
• 55:10
  Beck shoves his crew into the lift lock and they and, and
• 55:13
  pushes the button to send them off.
• 55:14
  And they're shouting to hurt me. Oh, yeah, stay.
• 55:18
  Get in here with that. They're all yelling at him, and
• 55:21
  he's like, I'll see you topside. So they're kind of freaking out.
• 55:24
  So then they can. But you can hear also all this
• 55:25
  time the computers counting down from 10 minutes, and we're now
• 55:28
  down to two minutes to implosion.
• 55:31
  So Beck dumps some gasoline into the water that's around them.
• 55:35
  He also grabs an axe. He goes up a platform and he's
• 55:38
  up on a higher platform. This is really the first time we
• 55:40
  really see the creature in full. And it does have this very fish
• 55:44
  like face, but its body is really grotesque.
• 55:47
  It's like a grotesque patchwork of its victims.
• 55:49
  So you can see their faces and De Jesus who was fused into it,
• 55:53
  but you can see his face and it's in agony and he gasped and
• 55:56
  he said kill me, kill me. So he's still kind of alive I
• 55:59
  guess, or whatever. Yeah, they're all alive.
• 56:01
  Kind of like kind of like to fly.
• 56:03
  Kill me. Yeah, exactly.
• 56:05
  Beck runs up onto this platform and the monsters going after
• 56:09
  him. It the monster gets under the
• 56:11
  platform, I guess as it starts to rear up, he drops the
• 56:16
  platform part of the platform down because it will break away
• 56:20
  and fall down, which traps the monster under the platform.
• 56:24
  Beck slides down it and gets into his suit.
• 56:29
  But the the button that he has to push for the lift lock is not
• 56:33
  working. The lip, of course the lift lock
• 56:35
  is not going down. Shocker.
• 56:37
  Of course. Everything's getting really
• 56:39
  tense. He's pounding on the button.
• 56:41
  Then you hear the computer going.
• 56:42
  One minute to implosion the monsters breaks out of the trap
• 56:46
  he's in, and he's getting closer and closer.
• 56:48
  Beck ignites the gasoline with the flare.
• 56:50
  The flames are ripping through the chamber, driving the
• 56:53
  creature crazy. Finally, the lift.
• 56:55
  Does he like jumps up and down or whatever and he and it starts
• 56:59
  to work and. Finally worked.
• 57:00
  Yeah. And then this is when, I'm
• 57:02
  sorry, this is when Beck actually gets in the suit, as
• 57:04
  he's in the suit and going down the monsters like down low and
• 57:07
  he's got his head in there trying to get at him.
• 57:10
  It's a lift lock, just like before, when it reaches the
• 57:12
  floor, it cuts the head off and the head explodes in blood and
• 57:16
  whatever all over the suit. And it's funny because he he
• 57:19
  flinched and closed his eyes, which I guess I probably would
• 57:22
  too. But it's just funny because from
• 57:23
  my point of view, I'm like, you're in a suit, it's not going
• 57:24
  to get in your face. But yeah.
• 57:27
  But I mean, I think that's still like a natural reaction.
• 57:29
  Oh yeah, yeah. What if the suit broke?
• 57:30
  Yeah, true. So then we see a shot of this
• 57:34
  habitat they've been in, and it's starting to implode and
• 57:37
  collapse on itself just as Beck staggers out into the ocean.
• 57:41
  So he got out and he starts floating upwards with his
• 57:45
  little. It looks like a parachute for
• 57:47
  the second. It's full of air.
• 57:48
  I don't know. You see them all going up pretty
• 57:51
  quickly from the depths of the ocean, but their suits are made
• 57:55
  to decompress them as they go up, so I guess they don't have
• 57:57
  to worry about getting the bends, which is good.
• 57:59
  He caught up to them pretty quickly, too.
• 58:01
  Yeah, he did. He got.
• 58:03
  Because they had some, they had some time.
• 58:06
  Yeah, they had quite the head start.
• 58:07
  Yeah, all that stuff that went on.
• 58:09
  I mean, there was a whole bunch of stuff that went on that
• 58:11
  before he could even get out of there, they all break the
• 58:13
  surface and they dropped their suits at one point and just had
• 58:17
  their helmets. They held onto that.
• 58:19
  There was one point where it was said, okay, you can eject.
• 58:22
  I guess they were safe enough so they're all break the surface.
• 58:25
  The sky is calm and sunny. No hurricane insight.
• 58:28
  It was a big fucking lie. Of course, of course it was no
• 58:32
  one. Was going to come get him.
• 58:34
  Yeah, exactly. So Willie spots Jones floating
• 58:38
  on his back, and he's grinning and he's happy.
• 58:40
  No waves either. Beck surfaces too, and he and
• 58:44
  Willie swim to each other. Big hug.
• 58:46
  She kisses him. You made it.
• 58:48
  Yeah. And and and go back for for one
• 58:50
  second like the the implosion of structure, whatever it was,
• 58:55
  right? We have learned in the last
• 58:58
  couple years that it would be a lot faster than that.
• 59:01
  Oh, really? What happened a couple years ago
• 59:05
  in the ocean by the Titanic? Oh, that's right.
• 59:09
  I think it was tiny though, compared to this thing.
• 59:16
  I had tried to block that out of my mind.
• 59:18
  Thanks, Dan. You're welcome.
• 59:20
  I'm always here for you. So then we see a Coast Guard
• 59:26
  helicopter appearing overhead. It's scanning the ocean.
• 59:29
  The crew has flares. So they set off some flares
• 59:33
  hoping that somebody will see them.
• 59:34
  For a while, nobody sees them. I guess the Coast Guard, Coast
• 59:37
  Guard helicopter wasn't even close to them.
• 59:39
  And the Coast Guard is getting instructions.
• 59:41
  Do one, I'm sorry. Do one more sweep.
• 59:43
  And then if you don't buy anything, just come back to
• 59:44
  base. So then for a moment everything
• 59:47
  looks fine and safe, and then suddenly it turns into a shark
• 59:51
  movie. And, and, and The thing is, too,
• 59:55
  like Ernie Hudson being a black male, I had a lot of hope.
• 1:00:00
  It's like, here we go. You know, he's going to live.
• 1:00:03
  Everything's going to be that's. Exactly what I said, I was like,
• 1:00:08
  because right, Because they, the sharks are there and I'm like,
• 1:00:12
  oh, OK, so one of them's going to get eaten by the sharks and
• 1:00:14
  they're pushing the sharks away and everything.
• 1:00:16
  And then the sharks go away and I'm like, oh, the black guy
• 1:00:19
  fucking made it. Finally the black guy made it.
• 1:00:24
  That was so amazing. So then we see after the sharks
• 1:00:29
  and they all make it, they shoot off another flare.
• 1:00:31
  Coast Guard helicopter was insight of the flare.
• 1:00:34
  So they start going towards the flare, and then all of a sudden,
• 1:00:37
  out of the water jumps the gigantic weird fish monster.
• 1:00:41
  It's right behind Willie, looks like it's going to get her.
• 1:00:44
  But Jones swoops in to protect Willie and starts fighting the
• 1:00:48
  this fish monster thing. The creature, the helicopter is
• 1:00:51
  now down in the water. And of course, the guy in the
• 1:00:52
  helicopter, he sees this thing. He's like holy shit.
• 1:00:54
  Yeah, I was like, what the hell? Is that but he doesn't seem like
• 1:00:59
  in a panic. He's just like, what the fuck is
• 1:01:00
  that? It's.
• 1:01:01
  Like we don't have room for that, yeah.
• 1:01:03
  We can't get that on here. So Beck takes Willie and gets
• 1:01:08
  her over to the chopper and gets her on and she's like, come on,
• 1:01:12
  come on. He's like, no, I got to go help
• 1:01:14
  Jones. So he swims back over to help
• 1:01:16
  Jones. Now, at this point, Jones
• 1:01:18
  basically, I'm assuming he drowns because they're just
• 1:01:21
  fighting underwater and you don't see where the creature
• 1:01:23
  really like eats him or bites him or anything.
• 1:01:25
  It just looks like he drowns. So I was like son of a bitch.
• 1:01:28
  Yeah, I know. Like.
• 1:01:30
  They couldn't. Help him so close, so close.
• 1:01:35
  Like they just had to, but at least he wasn't the 1st.
• 1:01:37
  Yeah, that's true. That's true.
• 1:01:38
  He didn't make it to the end. They actually did it right.
• 1:01:41
  The asshole white dude went first, yes.
• 1:01:44
  So they got this one, got it right.
• 1:01:47
  So Jones is drowned. So now, of course, the monster's
• 1:01:50
  all rearing up and towering over back, and he pulls out a flair
• 1:01:53
  and he snarls, say ah, motherfucker.
• 1:01:56
  And the thing actually does. Yeah, I mean, it does listen.
• 1:02:00
  I mean, it's trained. Yeah, it says ah, and Beck hurls
• 1:02:04
  A flare inside and the creature explodes, which I just thought
• 1:02:08
  to myself, now you're going to have a million of those things
• 1:02:11
  because it just regenerates. Yes, and and flares don't
• 1:02:14
  explode. Yeah, so I mean, there's that
• 1:02:17
  too. Too, So then he swims over to
• 1:02:21
  the chopper. Willias Court, of course, is
• 1:02:23
  glad that he made it. The Coast Guard secures them and
• 1:02:26
  they go away to there's a platform, there's some big
• 1:02:30
  platform out into. The sunset, yeah.
• 1:02:33
  So they land on this ocean platform, and Beck and Williams,
• 1:02:37
  they get off the chopper. They're walking down some
• 1:02:40
  stairs. They get on the main part of the
• 1:02:41
  platform, and we see Miss Martin, who's talking to
• 1:02:45
  somebody who's walking across the platform, too.
• 1:02:46
  And she sees them, and she's beaming.
• 1:02:49
  She's like, Oh my God, how are you?
• 1:02:51
  You made it. Nobody believed me, but I knew
• 1:02:53
  you'd never give up. How do you feel?
• 1:02:55
  Beck just hauls off and punches her squirt in the face, knocks
• 1:02:58
  her her ass flat out and he says better, a lot better the.
• 1:03:03
  End the end and and the punched audio was really loud, like
• 1:03:08
  zipper loud. Well, I was happy to see that.
• 1:03:12
  They, they really want to emphasize the noise.
• 1:03:15
  Oh, and don't get me wrong, like I'm, I'm not one, you know, to,
• 1:03:19
  to watch women get hit or anything like that, but this one
• 1:03:22
  kind of deserved it, you know, because she did try to kill
• 1:03:25
  everybody. Right, she did not care at all
• 1:03:27
  about them. So, all right, So what are your
• 1:03:30
  thoughts on Leviathan? So I saw Leviathan a long time
• 1:03:35
  ago. It's been a long time since I've
• 1:03:36
  seen it. So there was certain parts I
• 1:03:39
  remembered, like I remembered mostly the the punching part
• 1:03:42
  because how can you forget that, right?
• 1:03:44
  But it was a long time since I've seen it.
• 1:03:46
  It movie definitely has its flaws, but I did like it.
• 1:03:51
  It was, I mean it, it's typical of the 80s as we've discussed.
• 1:03:55
  And you know, there was that, you know, whole theme of like
• 1:03:59
  alien style and Horizon style, you know, type of movie.
• 1:04:03
  So I mean, it fit right into that genre.
• 1:04:05
  Didn't really do much different with it, but you know, for what
• 1:04:09
  it was, it wasn't bad. It had a decent cast.
• 1:04:13
  You know, I would say that it was well acted because the whole
• 1:04:16
  Malone guy, you know, you really did dislike him.
• 1:04:20
  Yeah, yeah, totally. You know, and you got the
• 1:04:22
  feeling of the doctors pompousness and, you know,
• 1:04:25
  Robocop's feeling of not wanting to be there and.
• 1:04:28
  Yeah, and Ernie Hudson, the way he was.
• 1:04:31
  And even and Cobb, who was played by Hector Elizondo.
• 1:04:35
  Like he's like the old gruff kind of veteran guy.
• 1:04:38
  He's probably been doing that forever.
• 1:04:39
  But yeah, you you really kind of feel for everybody who they
• 1:04:42
  were. So I mean, I would give it a
• 1:04:45
  sixth sense, you know, it wasn't like fantastic, but it was, it
• 1:04:51
  was enjoyable. It was watchable.
• 1:04:53
  You know, it, it, it has it, it had its moments of of decent.
• 1:04:57
  Yeah, yeah, I'd agree with you about pretty much everything
• 1:05:00
  there. I, I feel like I never, I'd
• 1:05:03
  never heard of this movie. I'd never saw it back in the 80s
• 1:05:05
  when it was out. But I feel like if I had watched
• 1:05:08
  it back in the 80s, back when I in my beginnings of horror movie
• 1:05:11
  watching, I probably would have been afraid of whatever because
• 1:05:14
  I would have been a little kid and it probably would have
• 1:05:17
  scared me. I'd probably afraid to go in the
• 1:05:18
  ocean or something. Just like with Jaws, I was
• 1:05:21
  afraid to pee right afterwards because I was afraid it would
• 1:05:24
  come up through the toilet and bite me in the ass, right.
• 1:05:27
  So, but yeah, and it's it's one of those movies that it is
• 1:05:31
  definitely alien like, but not alien level.
• 1:05:36
  But it's it's just a fun. I I say fun because it just has
• 1:05:40
  that kind of, it's not fun like, you know, fun fun, but it's just
• 1:05:45
  it's fun in that way. Like, oh, you can watch it and
• 1:05:47
  kind of laugh at some of the things and but you know, you can
• 1:05:50
  get where back at that time it probably was a decent movie, The
• 1:05:55
  era and all of that that was going on that those kind of
• 1:05:58
  movies. I mean, the other thing, the
• 1:05:59
  other thing I like not to cut you off, but I think you'll also
• 1:06:02
  agree is that, you know, use practical effects, you know,
• 1:06:05
  because computer generation wasn't really where it's at
• 1:06:08
  today, you know, so use a lot of practical effects, which I
• 1:06:10
  appreciate when we do that. Right, I do like it.
• 1:06:13
  It is nice to watch some of these older movies and even
• 1:06:16
  though it can be funny to see, it is nice to have that because
• 1:06:20
  everything that was in it was real.
• 1:06:22
  It wasn't, you know, nobody was acting on a green screen.
• 1:06:25
  No one had to pretend that something was there, that
• 1:06:28
  whatever was there was there. And it is kind of nice to have
• 1:06:30
  that, that it has a more realistic feel to it in a way.
• 1:06:34
  So, but yeah, I mean, it's enjoyable movie watched.
• 1:06:37
  I watched it twice. I didn't have a problem with
• 1:06:39
  watching it twice. It was fine.
• 1:06:40
  I watched it again. It wouldn't be a big deal.
• 1:06:42
  And I do like a lot of the actors.
• 1:06:44
  I love Ernie Hudson. I I love him and almost
• 1:06:46
  everything I see him in and he's one of those people that too
• 1:06:50
  can't that also like we were talking last week about was it
• 1:06:54
  not last week? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:06:56
  From Shark Night. I guess it was about the
• 1:06:59
  character and how when you see the guy that plays played
• 1:07:01
  Gordon. Yeah.
• 1:07:03
  He's always in a cheesy movie and Ernie Hudson does have a
• 1:07:06
  tendency to be in some cheesy movies at times.
• 1:07:09
  But, and I don't know if it's because of him that I end up
• 1:07:12
  liking them or what, but I always, I always like Ernie
• 1:07:15
  Hudson. He's great.
• 1:07:16
  So. But yeah, I'd probably give it a
• 1:07:18
  six. It's not, you know, Oh my God,
• 1:07:20
  this is an Oscar winner. Everyone on this.
• 1:07:25
  He's an Oscar. But it's, you know, it's just an
• 1:07:28
  enjoyable 80s movies. I I I probably have some sort of
• 1:07:32
  affinity for 80s movies in general, so that helps.
• 1:07:35
  But yeah, I mean. We we grew up on them.
• 1:07:38
  Yeah, yeah. So I mean, it's not as scary as
• 1:07:41
  some other movies that we get shit for on the Internet about,
• 1:07:44
  but. Quote UN Quote Scary Movie.
• 1:07:49
  Yeah, yeah. Scary movies.
• 1:07:53
  All right, so do you have anything else you want to add?
• 1:07:56
  We can put a sock on it. Sock, sock, sock, sock.
• 1:07:58
  And it's applied. All right, that's going to wrap
• 1:08:02
  up our dive into Leviathan, a mutant fish monster made of your
• 1:08:06
  Co workers, corporate greed at the bottom of the ocean and
• 1:08:08
  apparently the world's most fragile air ducts.
• 1:08:11
  What more could you ask for? Dan, why don't you tell everyone
• 1:08:14
  what movie we're covering next week?
• 1:08:16
  The deep house. You can see that on Amazon
• 1:08:20
  Prime. The deep house, what you said?
• 1:08:23
  Yes, OK, he goes. All right, Well, be sure to join
• 1:08:27
  us for that. And until then, be scared, be
• 1:08:29
  prepared, and don't get caught in the dark.
