- 1:04course, I'm your host, Malenko. And today we're talking about Saw four,
- 1:11two thousand and seven four. I mean, at this point, dude,
- 1:15we're just uh, we're just zipping through these, aren't we. Yeah?
- 1:19Yeah, un do do do do do? Do? Do? Do?
- 1:26Do do do? I mean, I mean, dude, this movie
- 1:36is amazing. It's so funny to talk about these movies with you. Oh
- 1:40god, it's truly, it's truly. This terrible movie is terrible but it's
- 1:47amazing, dude, it's fucking amazing. Yeah, it's it's it really is
- 1:53it really is, uh, the dream Child all the way down this movie
- 1:59is like I get, you know why this is Okay, I get why
- 2:06the franchise goes downhill. I understand, hold on, hold on, you're
- 2:10You're it goes It's it's the Indiana Jones thing that happens, which is every
- 2:17other one isn't good. But it also feels like every movie that happens helps
- 2:24justify elements of the previous movie, which is kind of a bay absolutely clues,
- 2:30dude, write again, outrageous clues. But man, like, okay,
- 2:38we gotta get to Detective Juicy Lips. We gotta we gotta, like,
- 2:40I mean, how are we going to talk about this movie? This
- 2:45is what I feel like. You should probably explain this movie to me and
- 2:51then also to the audience. Hello, Alex, I'd like I'd like to
- 2:54play I'd like to play explain the well, I mean, the explanation is
- 3:00obvious. It's that we start off with the Jigsaw's fifty two year old body
- 3:08naked on the table. Of course, nice dick, dude, you get
- 3:13to see Dick. They saw open his head. It was a nice dick.
- 3:19I was like, Jigsaw has got a nice dick. Yeah, and
- 3:22then stuff, the body looks really good like the dead body Man, the
- 3:27Sloppy balloon mess dude, the goopy sloppy balloons. I was just like,
- 3:32oh man, when they find the like wax tape in his stomach in the
- 3:38bubble stuff. Yeah, it's amazing, dude, all the goopy shows,
- 3:42it's so goofy. Dude, Hoffmann comes in. That's that's I'm assuming that's
- 3:46who you mean by juicy lips. Detective juicy lips, oh Man, detective
- 3:50you know who he reminds me of. Actually he kind of gives me rod
- 3:53decantimonious vibes. Well, speaking of disanct demonious. Okay, do the fucking
- 4:00lawyer. I know we're gonna get to it, but oh my god,
- 4:02if they ever ever ever need to, I hope that guy's practicing his Trump
- 4:06impression, because holy shit, if you just slap a Trump wig on him,
- 4:11you'd be like I need a seven thousand Yeah totally. And it's like,
- 4:17literally, he just needs to practice truth essential. So what's kind of
- 4:21cool about this is because he's so okay, so Hoffman, who's Juicy Lips,
- 4:29who's wrong wrong to sanctimonias, he is the shifty guy from the last
- 4:33one where it's like, oh, like, I don't know what you're talking
- 4:38about. I'm not a shifty guy at all. I'm not being set up
- 4:41for a fourth movie at all, dude. Where I accurately predicted in the
- 4:46last episode that he's going to be a disciple of Jigsaw, and you were
- 4:50like, no, no, not that, yeah, pretty much, and
- 4:55it was I think, yes, yes, yeah, it totally is.
- 4:59I think yes, yes, But thank you for thank you for doing that,
- 5:01because I was like, wait, Alex told me it was a detective
- 5:04juicy lift, so it must be someone else, but it was jy List.
- 5:11But it's interesting too because the movie sets that up right away in a
- 5:15similar way as you fucking Batch fucked right where you just kind of like it
- 5:21sets it up, and then the entire movie makes you forget about him almost
- 5:27immediately, like the movie Jigsaw goes just because you think I'm dead, you
- 5:34think this is over, You're the last man's standing. It kind of like
- 5:39reveals uh, the thing right away, and it's like, oh, the
- 5:43games have just begun with this one. It has. It suffers from the
- 5:47same problem as the second one, which is like they're just too many characters
- 5:51and too many like actors to keep track of, and it's like, wait,
- 5:57what's going on? Is this being confusing on brand is? Of course
- 6:00it is. It's a Saw movie. So in the first scene, he
- 6:03gets his stomach cut out with the wax tape that he magically swallows, which
- 6:09he wouldn't have been able to swallow, let's be honest. And then we
- 6:14cut to like the recording Hoffman gets exposing him as the like deep state killer
- 6:24for for that's been doing it the whole time for Jigsaw. And then we
- 6:30get a guy with his eyes sewn shut, and another guy like a kind
- 6:39of hank looking guy. He's total a hank looking guy. And then tied
- 6:44to a chain with another guy who can't looks like who can't open give me
- 6:51he's got his lips what's it called sewn together and they're part of like in
- 6:57a chain gang together chains that are gonna mush them together or whatever, and
- 7:02one of them has to kill the other to get the key on the back
- 7:04of each other's necks. His mouth is son shut, dude, because he
- 7:09his freedom of speech is being taken away. Oh totally absolutely truth, Yeah,
- 7:13totally, and and like he he's like pretty, he's pretty awesome.
- 7:16I like this character a lot. Actually, they do a lot with him,
- 7:24and he does do the like he escapes and then pulls the he like
- 7:29opens his mouth and like pulls out all the wires from the mouth, and
- 7:33it's it's kind of an awesome opening sequence, right the the like the like
- 7:38fight between the two of them and the like high stakes of this, like
- 7:43uh an eyes soone shut guy versus a mouth zone shut guy was really cool
- 7:48and like at first I was like does he want them to work together or
- 7:53like you know, but but like then like, uh, Donald J.
- 7:58Trump decides to just savagely like fucking take care of this ship. Because the
- 8:03big guy keeps thinking like oh no, like he I hear him, but
- 8:07he's not saying anything. He's trying to do something to me, so he's
- 8:11yeah, and the other other guy kind of like is like hedging his bets
- 8:13because he's like, fuck, this guy thinks I'm the killer. I better
- 8:16just kill him then survive exactly. And then we jumped to our last real
- 8:24connection to the first sauce which is Riggs, who like, I don't know
- 8:33if this dude's been doing, but his traps are looking amazing. He's son
- 8:39in the ship, dude, I like, I like when he was just
- 8:41like fucking rip. He's like, are you obsessing about Jigsaw and working out?
- 8:48Is that all you do? That's all all this dude does. That's
- 8:50what he got. He got and he he gets he gets freaked out because
- 8:58he thinks the carry is the live and and oh man, the rats on
- 9:05Carrie and then the one police officer gonna get those fucking rats offer. It's
- 9:09just like those scenes like like just like the kind of like body horror stuff,
- 9:16but also the like very like TV actors, the very like CSI Miami
- 9:20actude. It's so I Miami Now, there's no like Donnie is in it
- 9:26and don be in it. I think his rolling this is amazing. But
- 9:37because he like leads into the TV aspect just as much as Justin Bieber leaned
- 9:43into being shot in that one uh uh whatever that that crime drama show was
- 9:48that he was in. But Lieutenant Riggs like, whenever you kind of doubt
- 9:56how much the like side character of the previous movie is gonna step up in
- 10:01this one. You always have to give them the benefit of the doubt because
- 10:05they always deliver so much. They get progressively more you'll notice this as the
- 10:11series goes on. But also because all the TV actors start happening the show
- 10:18that the show the movies get progressively a weirder and more hostile. Like all
- 10:24the actors become so much more hostile because none of them have the like nuance
- 10:31of a Danny Glover or a fucking Eric Matthews or like like you know,
- 10:39playing off each other, like like Tobin Bell and like the other characters in
- 10:46like some of the other movies, all of the original guys get sort of
- 10:50lost in the shuffle and then like man like all like you'll see in the
- 10:56rest of them too, like everybody ups the t and starts acting like they're
- 11:01in the movie Prometheus, where they're just like intense to each other and it's
- 11:05like, whoa dude, we're friends, Like why are you been naming this
- 11:09way? And Hoffman being like a sketchy dude of being like looking at the
- 11:16different mottos that Jigsaw supposedly is leaving behind, Oh dude, it's kind of
- 11:22amazing, Like the amount of infrastructural Like I'm beginning to think that Jigsaw is
- 11:28the deep State, dude, Like the amount of infrastructural like aid that this
- 11:31one man has and so many of the things. He kissed his sister in
- 11:37this movie, dude, because I was like, I was, like,
- 11:39he is a fucking landlord. He is. He's like a like a rich
- 11:43philanthropist who's trying to like help the youth, but turns out to be like
- 11:48a misguided, misguided Batman type. He's like what Batman would be for in
- 11:54real life of like judging people, like judging sex workers in this like go
- 12:00home, sweetheart, Yeah, totally, you're You're a beautiful girl. Go
- 12:03home. It's like it also doesn't feel like Jigsaw in this one. Like
- 12:09maybe she won, maybe this is her career path, dude, but like
- 12:11like she maybe like you know, like you don't know this Jigsaw passing judgment
- 12:15Jigsaw. Yeah, this this one doesn't feel to me anyway. It doesn't
- 12:22feel as much like Jigsaw as as the rest of the three, because like
- 12:26he feels a little bit less epic and glorious. It feels a little bit
- 12:31more it's less mind freak. It's kind of pathetic. Now it is kind
- 12:39of pathetic, but like you'll see, they they this one. This is
- 12:41kind of to me, this is the lowest point of the series and then
- 12:48it goes back and then it comes back down. But what did you think
- 12:52of Agent Perez and Agent Peter Strom? Dude? I love Peter Strom,
- 12:58I think I love I love them so much. I love them so much,
- 13:01and we'll get to them. But can I tell you my thirsty for
- 13:03more for this movie? Quickly? Okay, I'm right here, I'm fine.
- 13:09Can I tell you my thirsty for more for this movie? Ye?
- 13:13Okay. So when this movie came out, I was like deeply it was
- 13:18two thousand and seven. I was deeply entrenched in the like local like nine
- 13:28oh five southern Ontario, like suburb scene of like you know THEO and NJ
- 13:37all of their bands, so like the like you know, ghost stories and
- 13:41like fucking like you know I spoke and like straw Men, Fallacy bands like
- 13:48that, and like I was, I was going to those shows. I
- 13:52was playing those shows, and like there was a band there were these like
- 13:56small bands that would come out, like these super bands of like local scene
- 14:00members who would just like break up and join different bands. Yeah, And
- 14:03there was a band around the time that this movie came out called Soft Floors.
- 14:09Yeah, And I think you see where I'm going with this. Eventually
- 14:16people kept going to be like, Hey, I'm gonna are you gonna go
- 14:18see soft Wore tonight? And I kept thinking they were saying, see the
- 14:22band's Soft Floors. And I wasn't the only person that this happened to.
- 14:28In fact, there was a thread. There was a thread on the message
- 14:31board that was a local message board at the time that was like soft Floors
- 14:37or saw For And like it happened enough times that people were like, what
- 14:41you're gonna go see Soft Floors? No saw For? And anyway, I'm
- 14:48gonna maybe if I can find some of their music, I'm gonna put put
- 14:50it in as a drop. But yeah, isn't that so weird? Yeah,
- 14:54that's hilarious. I love that. That's great. What a weird little
- 14:58like it was just a moment in time. This band existed for like a
- 15:01year. They only existed for you Give Me a Break? Yeah, Yeah,
- 15:05And it just so happened to be the year when this movie came out,
- 15:09two thousand and seven. Great year movie. There will be blood and
- 15:15no country for the same year. Some people say they're just as good as
- 15:20as each other, but everyone knows it's there will be. Blood is better.
- 15:24It's just a little bit. It's just a little bit better. It's
- 15:28more poignant, it's more poignant. The audience may disagree, but they're wrong
- 15:35in terms of Strong and Perez Strong being like, oh, dude, and
- 15:43how they like hide things from the local police department because their FBI they suspect
- 15:48something. Dude, two of their officers are in danger. Dude. But
- 15:52who. I really found it interesting that Strong was just immediately like, oh,
- 15:58well, this this lady that they helped, and Hoffman is like,
- 16:03well, Amanda was there. And John Kramer, John Kramer, the cancer
- 16:07pation who can't lift things. He's brains, not braun. There must be
- 16:12another guy. And he's like, no, there isn't another guy. Well
- 16:18okay, So like this is where it kind of gets like very deceptively schemey
- 16:25in a way where I'm like, you're like undermined. You're a disciple of
- 16:30Jigsaw, so you believe in his principles, but you're not following his principles.
- 16:34Are you just the copycat? Like what is this like, did he
- 16:37sanction this is this Jigsaw sanctioned well activities? Do you want me? Well?
- 16:45I mean I guess like that's a question for the next movie, right,
- 16:48Yeah, can you just confirm that, yes, it is. It
- 16:52is a question Detective Juicy Lips. Yeah, Juicy Lips Hoffman. Hoffman is
- 16:57Juicy Lips. And you know, I like the thing is what this movie
- 17:03does is it tries to pull away. It tries to pull focus away from
- 17:12Hoffman, and focus is so hyper fixated on Rigs, even though like Hoffman
- 17:22is like a bad guy. You know, he's a bad guy and you
- 17:26know that there's a dramatic irony there. But like Riggs because he's somebody that
- 17:30we've seen throughout the series so far. He's the guy that you're like focusing
- 17:37on as the hero, right and then when he becomes the perfect Red Herrings
- 17:41code totally totally And also like he's friends with with Carrie, he was friends
- 17:48with Eric. Like he's losing his life because his wife doesn't want to be
- 17:53with him at all anymore because he's a fucking loser. No, he's like
- 18:00for Jackpool, dude, Yeah, because he works out while talking about Jigs
- 18:04all the time, Yeah, totally. And man, did it seem to
- 18:12you like this movie was having an existential crisis when it was like talking about,
- 18:18uh, cherish your life? How are you supposed to cherish your life?
- 18:21When this stuff keeps happening to you? And I'm like, yeah,
- 18:23like they're creating kind of like a feedback loop of a lot of death here.
- 18:27So like it can't be net good, Like you can't your lessons can't
- 18:32be good enough to like make people feel okay and less obsessed in a time
- 18:37when you're like putting them in extremely traumatic decisions in like situations over and over
- 18:45again. Holy shit, dude, you'll you'll see some of the lines in
- 18:48uh in the fifth one get so fucking crazy because you're just like, wait,
- 18:55what what did you say? But we'll get to it. Basically,
- 19:00like this movie, it gets a lot of set up for like you know,
- 19:07Hoffman Perez and and what's it called strom to Like it's it's like weird
- 19:17because it's like almost like a side quest in like a bigger tall Oh man,
- 19:22I'm so glad you described it as that because it feels like it's that
- 19:26without even knowing Part five, I've never seen this one I've never seen part
- 19:30five. I was so excited for the twist that this one. Dude.
- 19:34When it was happening, I was like, dude, yeah, because it's
- 19:40like a lot, dude. It really does feel like an episode of a
- 19:42series. This one feels the most like an episode. Okay, okay,
- 19:47And you know, we get a little bit more of of Hoffman looking at
- 19:52Strom being like, oh, did you find anything? Is there anything suspicious
- 19:56about me in there? And then we cut back to Rigs and Riggs starts
- 20:00man like this is where he becomes the most fit and also starts his weird
- 20:08Harry's code. This is the like plastic like covered in his space in plastic
- 20:15or whatever. And then you know, like Hoffmann is like leaving hints around
- 20:22throughout the movie as well that like pay off way later. And then we
- 20:26get this like other like we get this like secondary cop character, like the
- 20:36Asian guy who's like in there for some reason. There's a lot of things
- 20:40going on. But we finally get the Riggs plot and he like starts his
- 20:45game and his game is very very I don't know how you felt about this,
- 20:51but his game was also a little bit very very like the previous game
- 20:56where it was like, don't help these people because they are bad people,
- 21:00and you have to make the decision to like not run in before you're supposed
- 21:07to or whatever. That's his life. It was a little bit, it
- 21:11was a little bit derivative of like Jigsaw's previous idea. It seems like he
- 21:15was running out of original material because he was dying. Yeah, totally,
- 21:19and he didn't have enough pregtizone to lower his immunity to stop his brain from
- 21:23swelling and his own body from attacking him. But his obsession with with Eric
- 21:30Matthews from Boymant's World is the big problem in this one, right, Like
- 21:36it's It's also it's kind of interesting that we've also seen this over a number
- 21:41of movies now, cops being obsessed with each other's like safety and loving each
- 21:45other but also murdering each other. This is so again, it's just cops
- 21:52dying throughout the entire movie. Yeah, dude, they're the ones that need
- 21:56the most punishment. Dude, to play a game, and then we chose
- 22:00to be a cop and I'm really aka even though I'm a billionaire philanthropist.
- 22:12It's yeah, dude, it's a billionaire philanthropists playing sick games to exact revenge
- 22:21over resenting the uh working class that is working against their own interests. Sure,
- 22:33let's say it's that. But Eric Matthews now the third movie, hanging
- 22:40on a block of ice, sitting next to like Hoffman. Basically, I
- 22:48don't know, honestly if this is humiliating for Donnie Wahlberg or incredible that he
- 22:52did this. I think it's incredible. But but it's a little bit like,
- 22:56you know, he's got to be a guy on a block of ice
- 23:00for two hours, you know what I mean? Totally totally. I mean
- 23:03it like it was kind of a big fall of race from his like breakout
- 23:08performance in the second one. Yeah, and he's also transcendent appearance in the
- 23:14third one. Oh yeah, but this one a little more like a I
- 23:18want to fuck advice for an hour totally. But I actually kind of liked
- 23:22him being a guy who was like, please just kill me. He just
- 23:27like yeah, well dude, for like months, I know, I know,
- 23:33it's fucking crazy. And then a guy alive ex playing the resources.
- 23:38Who's feeding this guy? Yeah, who's like taking care of this guy like
- 23:44enough that he's surviving? Yeah, dude, I mean he puts him in
- 23:47like a prison or whatever, it makes him eat rats or whatever. No,
- 23:51he's friends with the rats. Yeah, he is friends with the rats.
- 23:55That's true. He becomes like a rat king. And then what's it
- 23:59called Jigs being very pun punny in this Their Lives sang in the balance of
- 24:06your obsession and it's like do you just come up with these puns? He's
- 24:11very rupe Aul about it. He's got to use like everything's got to have
- 24:15its own like theme song, Like you know how RuPaul makes the song out
- 24:18of every one of her catchphrases. Oh yeah, it's it's the same thing
- 24:22for Jigsaw. He's got to make it all like a big refrain. He's
- 24:25like super into his own lore. Dude at this point. Absolutely absolutely.
- 24:30And then there's that production still again from the third movie, the second movie.
- 24:34Can I ask you a quick question? Yeah, do you think this
- 24:37movie was trying to lower the steaks with Jigsaw in this one? Like make
- 24:42it more like it's just him now, Like do you know what I mean?
- 24:47Like like somehow trying to like have its cake and eat its have its
- 24:52cake and eat it too, of like making Jigsaw the big mastermind behind everything,
- 24:56but also he's got all these resources in support, like, because how
- 25:00are these plans going? Like it gets less and less believable how the plans
- 25:03will go to plan every time. Okay, let me tell you something,
- 25:08Okay, and I don't wanna, I don't want to spoil anything, okay,
- 25:12but I'm asking the right questions. Is what you are asking the right
- 25:15questions. And this is why this movie is such a low point, is
- 25:19because so much of the thread is just like loosened and you're just like,
- 25:25oh, okay, all right, let's let's like pump the brakes. But
- 25:33what it does end up happening You said something earlier, which which does happen
- 25:38quite a bit, which is like the next movie will always justify the previous
- 25:42one, and it seems like they're always almost breaking bad the stories of this
- 25:51where it's like, you know how I'm breaking bad? You're like, what
- 25:53how is he going to get out of this? And like seamlessly gets out
- 25:57of it. You know what, that's really funny that you engine breaking bad
- 26:00because today a comic that I posted like seven years ago or something where someone
- 26:06made these hilarious breaking bad comics where like Walter is holding his daughter and being
- 26:11like, say data, and she says mama, And then the next frame
- 26:15is Walter on the phone being like, Todd, I have another job.
- 26:21Yeah yeah, Eric Matthews, dude, boy meets world. He is in
- 26:27fact still alive, dude, and he's given ninety minutes on an ice block.
- 26:32I kept thinking about how frozen his toes would be and how like he
- 26:36would get gangrenous toes on like his like on the foot that he does have,
- 26:41and like, man, the fact that he's got this like shoe like
- 26:45a cool like a fucking prosthetic that they put on. It's kind of like
- 26:48a steam steampunk aesthetic. Dude, it's cool. I love that it gets
- 26:53more steampunk. It does get a lot more steampunk. And you know the
- 27:00he Riggs comes up to his first victim or the first test, and the
- 27:07person in front of him is in desperate need of help, and it's it's
- 27:11a pretty hilarious, uh and off putting pulling off of hair that just seems
- 27:19like it would just be like awful because having this scene the balding happening,
- 27:27but having the hair get ripped off the scalp and the lady checking up and
- 27:36trying to kill Rigs and then Riggs just holding her hair and her like,
- 27:45oh dude, I was like, oh my god, no, no,
- 27:48no, man, she's gonna some an oxidental after well, like, yeah,
- 27:53she would have to just to get the blood flow back, dude.
- 27:56But I mean there's so much food flow happening right now. They're way too
- 28:00much, dude, not enough a strong to survive, like a policey scalping.
- 28:07But yeah, I was really upset by this scene because I'm just growing
- 28:11my hair back with monoxidal, dude, and what if somebody pulled my new
- 28:15hairs out? Dude. But but but like it was like who was she?
- 28:22Like, why did they like did they kind of quickly explain this or
- 28:26something? Yeah? Basically what it is is, okay, so so these
- 28:37are all people and I noticed this with Abby last time. Oh yeah,
- 28:45these are all people that he has interacted with, and they pull like some
- 28:52really fast and loose shit when it comes to who some of these people are.
- 28:57Because some of these people fuck, I don't know if it's in this
- 29:02one anyway, it doesn't matter. She gets her hair pulled off, tries
- 29:07to kill fucking rings. He kissed his sister one hundred percent and like him
- 29:17pulling at the Like I really love this transition him pulling at her scalp and
- 29:22then throwing her through the window and then the camera going through the window into
- 29:30fucking Strom's office as a transition. I was like, whoa dude, this
- 29:34is an amazing filmmaking. That was amazing, And like the one the one
- 29:40scene transition with the one scene transition with the shirt and oh yeah that was
- 29:45great too. Yeah that happened earlier, the scene transition stuff, like the
- 29:48fact that it's laurified now and like and they're just looking for new creative ways
- 29:52to do it that are also meaningful to the plot. It's pretty cool.
- 29:56It's pretty cool, dude. Jigsaw goes, the man who will save you
- 30:03will be the person who puts you in jail. So this lady is also
- 30:07some sort of like prison lady, and it's like it sucks because it's like,
- 30:11whoa dude, Like, man, like, some of these people have
- 30:15seemingly of like really difficult lives and you're putting them in this like weird moral
- 30:22situation, Like yeah, like exactly, like these people are really struggling and
- 30:26you're like challenging them in a way that like doesn't serve them at all,
- 30:30like you're like and it just like hurts them, and like you you are
- 30:34the sicko like he is. I feel like this movie reinforces because like it's
- 30:40not explained away, like I don't understand him more now, I'm like,
- 30:44no, dude, you're wrong. You this is all just your misunderstanding of
- 30:48all of these Yeah, absolutely absolutely, And then what did you think of
- 30:52Okay, Like, let's can I just ask you now what you thought of
- 30:55the inclusion of the wife. But my wife is important, my wife,
- 31:00my wife. Well, you haven't seen the next one, dude. What
- 31:07you haven't seen the next one? Dude? Like the thing is, I
- 31:11don't like the wife, Okay, I don't like the wife as as just
- 31:17a plot point in general. I don't. I don't think I like the
- 31:22actor. I don't know. If I don't like the concept. I'm okay
- 31:26with with her being but I don't know. Actually, but she feels the
- 31:33most I thought she was pretty good. She feels the most TV to me,
- 31:40I disagree. I think the two I think the two juicy lipped detectives
- 31:44who you could barely tell a part in this movie. And did they do?
- 31:48They do this on purpose. Dude, get lookalikes. I think they
- 31:52do. I think they do because they do they do, they must.
- 31:57I dude, you're gonna fucking ship when you see Strong in the next one.
- 32:04You're gonna You're gonna ship. You're gonna like be I mean, I
- 32:06can't I can't wait because because here's here's the interesting thing about about how Saw
- 32:12characters seem to work. You hate them in the last movie, and then
- 32:15you're like excited to see them again because they survived, and then you're like,
- 32:20actually, they wrote they wrote this character to be kind of sick,
- 32:24which which is what I really love about Hoffman, the juicy other juicy lipt
- 32:30guy, the Rhonda santimonious guy. Yeah, the the like guy that we
- 32:36get the twist about, right. Yeah, And and basically what happens in
- 32:40the next scene is we wake up finally with Donnie uh and Hoffman trapped able
- 32:49to contraption on the contraption. Yeah. And also there's an icicle contraption that
- 32:55when it slowly melts ice that it has heat lamps around it, puts water
- 33:00into a tin thing that's attached to an electrocution thing. Yeah. Off,
- 33:07Detective Juicy lives. Yeah, yeah, and also including all of the best
- 33:12Donnie of Saw three your fucker and then like getting his foot kicks in and
- 33:20then bashing what's your name Manda's face, And I mean, at this point,
- 33:24all of that has become such Lord, It's like remember when Donnie did
- 33:30this ship and he's like, Oh, I'm like, dazy, I'm not
- 33:34sweezing' turn it up. I said, turn it up. I said,
- 33:39turn ahead up. Bout dude. Even even new New Kids on the Block
- 33:49is so old at this point. New New Kids on the Block is two
- 33:52thousand and eight, dude, Yeah, dude, finished the Saw movies that
- 33:55that he did New Kids on the Block. This is this movie is said
- 34:00it a world pre dirty dancing by New Kids on the Block, which is
- 34:04their best song. And we get we get those flashbacks of his meat sock
- 34:15uh, and we get a man who we quote unquote don't know who it
- 34:20is, but we do know who it is putting a new metal boot on
- 34:22Donnie and Donnie becoming friends with rats and then and then feeding Donn some slop
- 34:31slop. Yeah, and then the swat team comes into Riggs house and wait,
- 34:36do you think he was feeding him? Do you think what he was
- 34:37feeding was the pig slab from the last time. Yeah, totally, he
- 34:43totally was. He sufficed on pig slop, dude, only to get his
- 34:50face bashed. But we'll get to it. Yeah. And I found the
- 35:00storyline of him being like he's trying to recruit Riggs and his like irrational like
- 35:07ability to be awesome at his job but also terrible at his job, Well,
- 35:10that's where in the Red Herrings code lies in this dude that like Riggs,
- 35:15We're supposed to think that Riggs is actually going to be adopting Jigsaw ideals,
- 35:22Jigsaw principles, but in fact, well we'll get to it. Yeah,
- 35:27he doesn't learn his lesson, dude. Man, if he had,
- 35:30maybe if he had listened to Jigsaw, he would have learned his lesson dude
- 35:34and saved Oh man, what a trolled Jigsaw is. Yeah he is.
- 35:40He is the ultimate troll. And and uh, if Peter Strom finds pictures
- 35:46that don't quote unquote belong in any of the matching pictures in Riggs' apartment and
- 35:52it's it's the wife, it's the rules, and he goes to interrogate the
- 36:00wife. Again, it's also the lightest. If you notice it's got the
- 36:06most light in the movies. Yeah, well yeah, that's what makes it
- 36:09more TV too. It looks just like framed and lit, like it's like,
- 36:15all right, guys, we've got to get these scenes banged out.
- 36:17Yeah, it's a forty page day, guys. It totally was a forty
- 36:23page day, like every day, dude. No, seriously though, Like
- 36:28it seemed like I'm gonna guess that it was easily probably like a four page
- 36:31day, and that is very stressful to do. Yeah, but man,
- 36:37the torture that Donnie goes through. Oh by the way, what did you
- 36:43think of the lawyer finally coming in and like being the new Zepp and being
- 36:52like I need eleven thousand bugs, give me a break. Yeah, totally.
- 36:55What did you also feel about Hoffman being Hoffman being in the trap with
- 37:01Donnie? I thought that that was a brilliant Red Hairings code and I thought
- 37:10that it I mean, like it was it was exciting to see it happen
- 37:15because I was like, oh, well, I'm really glad that this other
- 37:19guy that looks kind of like this guy is still free to solve this case,
- 37:22you know what I mean? There was something weirdly satisfying about the doppelgangeranis
- 37:28of it, Like I couldn't thinking about it. It's cool, it's cool.
- 37:31It's like funny and weird and like, I don't know, it was
- 37:36like imagery wise, like the fact that he's this one felt like the most
- 37:40like Rocky four to me of like images. It felt like they thought of
- 37:49like the traps before they thought of the plot of the movie. Yes,
- 37:57absolutely absolutely, And it's like I was excited to see the traps. I
- 38:01was excited. I was excited to visually. It's it's the least sort of
- 38:07stimulating. It's the least well made of the movies. I would say,
- 38:12I'll tell you this, dude, it's probably the most little kid though,
- 38:15Like it's a favorite of a little kid. You know, understood understood the
- 38:22lore, dude, and was really proud of themselves that they understood the lore.
- 38:25Yeah, and then grew up and was like, Ah, this wasn't
- 38:29a good one, but I have such nostalgia for it that it fans a
- 38:32lot. Yeah, totally, man. And then the weird cameo by Julian
- 38:38Richings in this famed Canadian actor Julian Richings, Wait who was Who was he
- 38:45in this one? Do you know the he's like the bum guy Riggs comes
- 38:50into this like CD motel and he's like in the corner and he's like,
- 38:54what the fuck are you looking at? What the fuck are you that?
- 38:57Riggs just walks away from him, has a weirdly like Yeah, he reminds
- 39:02me of like a character you would have seen in Blues Brothers where where Elwood
- 39:07lives? Yeah, totally totally. It seems like an Elwood motel, like
- 39:13you get my cheese whiz boy? Yeah, totally. Here. Let me
- 39:15let me show you who you'll recognize who, Julian, you're sending this to
- 39:20me? I hate, I hate doing these episodes distance. I miss I
- 39:24miss being in person with you, dude, But because it's so exciting to
- 39:29talk about these movies. Yeah, they're they're really really fun movies to talk
- 39:32about. Here the lord, dude, are you sending it to Oh?
- 39:39I love this guy. Yeah, he's got such a he looks kind of
- 39:43like a like an older more weathered and uh yeah, like what's his name?
- 39:52The piano? Oh yeah, what's his name? Adrian Brody? Can
- 39:59I tell you something? Julian Richings was also the dad in bo is Afraid
- 40:05dude, Ah, yes, of course I remember you mentioning his name and
- 40:07bo is Afraid amazing, He's amazing. And then Riggs comes to the CD
- 40:14motel. He's grabbed both keys from whatever box. It doesn't matter at this
- 40:17point. This plot is just it's too convoluted to like talk about in real
- 40:22real life. But he Riggs goes upstairs of the CD motel where the I
- 40:28guess rapist, like like big fat guy who's who's like a motel manager guy.
- 40:37Okay, so okay, okay, yeah, okay, what did you
- 40:43make of this scene? Okay, So here's the thing. This, this
- 40:46movie is even more sexual than the last one. Is more sexual, and
- 40:53not for a bet, not for better to be hopes, not for better,
- 40:57it's it's better when it's more subtle. And in this, like the
- 41:02there's the full on seven reference where Riggs comes in and you think it's like
- 41:07his wife's head in the box, and it's it's the pig mask that he
- 41:13used to exat wants him to wear to kidnap this the motel manager guy and
- 41:19like man the the like like he filmed himself having sex with these girl like
- 41:28like raping these girls. It was just like a little bit like, this
- 41:30doesn't feel as much as it It didn't feel Saw and it felt Yeah,
- 41:37it felt way too much like trying the tooth with rape, and like that's
- 41:40something you never try the tooth with. I think that, Like it's like
- 41:45I think they needed to be more. I don't know, it just it
- 41:52was unnecessary and it felt like it felt like it kind of convoluted the story
- 41:57to me a little bit because I was like, wait, what like it?
- 42:00It kind of like it's so jarring and upsetting to see and it's something
- 42:05we've never seen in Saws before that it felt like it threw me out of
- 42:08the like sonness of it. Almost, Yeah, for sure, for sure
- 42:13does that make sense? Yeah, totally totally. I agree. It just
- 42:16it felt out of place. But then then we cut to the scene.
- 42:23Okay, the scenes that I did like with the wife. I didn't like
- 42:28any of the scenes with Strom and her, like him interrogating her. I
- 42:34loved the scenes between Jigsaw and and her because it felt like his weird paternalism
- 42:42but her weird like no, John, We're not gonna do this. It
- 42:45just felt like this is a weird hilarious toxic relationship you have to perish life.
- 42:53It seems it seems like he has a kind of like, yeah,
- 42:59like a paternalism in the relationship that she's not really buying and she but she
- 43:04kind of like balances him out in a way. Yeah, it shows like
- 43:07there's like a codependency and right, Yeah, And I think that that was
- 43:14really interesting to include the codependency because it like sort of adds nuance to Jigsaw
- 43:21as a human being, right, like somebody who like would come to these
- 43:24misguided conclusions because of how he's behaving, Like we're getting more insight into actually
- 43:30like what he's like totally, and then the people like he like loves in
- 43:35his life. Right, But like she's she has like a kind of like
- 43:39she's also like avoidant in a way, like she doesn't want to acknowledge certain
- 43:45truths and realities and like she I don't know, right, like or yeah,
- 43:50I totally agree, I totally agree. Yeah, it feels like but
- 43:54the where I I do agree, but where the movie mistakes her hiding those
- 44:01kinds of truths or not acknowledging them, is that the truths are that Jigsaw
- 44:07is right, and that's the misunderstanding that this movie has that the rest of
- 44:12them don't about Jigsaw. Do you know what I mean? Right? Because
- 44:16can you explain more? It feels a little bit like the movie wants you
- 44:21to side with the Jigsaw more than the wife, And ultimately it's like,
- 44:28well, yeah, the wife is wrong. She's a stupid idiot who thought
- 44:30opening up a drug clinic would help people, but it actually didn't. It
- 44:35just made people soft, you know, And it's like, well, that's
- 44:37not really what happened. Like, these people aren't soft, they just don't
- 44:42expect to be fucking kidnapped by some psycho. Speaking of being kidnapped by a
- 44:47psycho. We also get that guy who gets shot in the face in the
- 44:52second one in the clinic. He this like thin, mousey looking guy starts
- 45:00like freaking out. Uh. And the guy who gets shot in the eyeball
- 45:04in the second one by turning the key and the gun to the face,
- 45:07he's the guy clinic. Yeah, yeah, dude. There's so many actors
- 45:14from the rest of the Actually the girl who's like, oh, I've noticed,
- 45:19I've noticed that there's secret actors that are like that I've seen before.
- 45:23The girl, the girl who he's like, go home, you're a beautiful
- 45:30girl. That girl is the hispanic lady in the in the second one.
- 45:35I remember, I remember that it was her. Yeah yeah, so like
- 45:38that's what he was judging her for. That's totally what he was judging her
- 45:42for. Wow, dude, oh man. But when when Jigsaw comes up
- 45:46to the thin mousey guy who's like yelling and he's like, what's your problem?
- 45:51And Jigsaw is like, you're my problem and you're becoming everyone else's problem.
- 45:55He he does seem scary and timid, dude, like, oh man,
- 46:02like just like your problem and you're recovering everyone else. He's trying to
- 46:08take out the problems of society, but it's really just everyone in his surroundings,
- 46:13literally, anyone. You know. It's like a death sentence if you
- 46:15know Jigsaw, Like he's gonna find a reason to kill you. Yeah,
- 46:21or to make you value your life to death. Yeah, absolutely, absolutely,
- 46:25because that's what he does. He makes you value your life to death.
- 46:30Yeah. Absolutely. And then we get some more strong interrogation stuff,
- 46:35but then we get some interesting flashbacks where I actually really love this stuff,
- 46:40where John is showing her the like the claw the three hundred year old clock
- 46:47that's never stopped or whatever. Like this is kind of like the like healthiest
- 46:52but dumpiest we've seen John. Oh yeah, it seems he pardon fifty two
- 47:00years old, dude, I know, but like I know, like it
- 47:02was so weird because he's like way more thought the bodied, and like I'm
- 47:06just like they're trying to make it seem like he's like pro creating, like
- 47:10he's having like a young child, like it got him an age appropriate enough
- 47:15wife, but like she's also like still I don't know. I was just
- 47:19I had fertility questions about the absolutely, absolutely, it just seemed like there
- 47:23was something off about Yeah. It also like why would you ever make a
- 47:30Billie toy for your kid? Like that's a scary toy. It's a scary
- 47:35puppet, dude. And like this one was the most emo hair Oh yeah,
- 47:38totally, dude. This is the transition into into like emo from new
- 47:45metal. Dude. It's from new metal to emo for sure. Well it's
- 48:00because well it's more like kind of scream oh and like please, it's more
- 48:06like it's it's yeah, it's like I make up and and like guitars and
- 48:13questionable as today where questionable allegations Later on, did you did you so many
- 48:20questionable as? Later on did you did I ever see it? Sent you
- 48:23that weave where it was like this is my impression of a singer from warped
- 48:30from a warter bed. Then it's a guy. It's he's tweeting and he's
- 48:37like it has come to my attention. Tell you you don't even have to
- 48:51excelain anymore. I left so much, dude, god, like I mean
- 48:58honestly, Like it's sad, but like it's true, like like I was
- 49:01least there at least seventy eight percent true for everybody, like listen, like
- 49:07I don't know, like I was there, and I'm like, man,
- 49:10like, it's like it was dudes in their twenties and dudes in their thirties
- 49:15around like literal teenagers most of the time. And it was like, I
- 49:21like, it's just questionable shit, it's just questionable environment to have a lot
- 49:27of young people in. It's like I don't know if, like I think
- 49:30even Kevin Lyman, the like organizer of or Now, I don't know because
- 49:34like this like he's I shouldn't say because he's someone I know, honestly,
- 49:38someone I know but like someone you specific people like just bleep the name.
- 49:44I'll bleep the names. But like but like I'm just like they must have
- 49:50I don't know, they must have known like oh, you were going to
- 49:53make some sort of drop some sort of like accusation but yeah, no,
- 49:57no, I'm alwa wasn't going to drop an accusation. But like I'm just
- 49:59like like the degree to which you know, like they're okay there just had
- 50:07some comments about like some like you know, like oh, you know,
- 50:09it's a woke time and stuff, and it's like I don't think like I
- 50:13don't think he's necessarily not like a woke dude. But man, I can't
- 50:20talk about this. I sorry, I'm actually I like I know the people
- 50:23involved. I would just want to make the joke. Yeah, just cut
- 50:28it, just cut it, like honestly, like the reality of those kinds
- 50:31of situations is that like I don't even think it's necessarily like oh I'm going
- 50:36to turn a blind eye, but more like like just like it's just feel
- 50:42much more you know. Actually, you know what, Listen, I'm just
- 50:46going to talk about what I know, and that way I can't be saying
- 50:52anything wrong. Okay, Yeah, and I just because, like I think
- 50:58it is actually kind of important. Like a lot of a lot of us
- 51:00went to Warp Tour as young people, and like, there there was a
- 51:04guy who I met on the Warp tour. Is it okay if I tell
- 51:08you this Thursday for more it's it's a bit of a story. Okay.
- 51:15There's a guy I met on Warp Tour named Paul I'm just gonna leave Paula
- 51:20Adler. And he was like a smart guy, troubled but smart guy from
- 51:25New England. He was in bands he was on I forget what their band
- 51:30was called, but they were on tour with us. We made good friends
- 51:34with these guys and like we were kind of like the same class of bands.
- 51:37We were like the bands following the tour, so we weren't on the
- 51:40tour, so we were having a lot of the same or similar experiences,
- 51:44but we were kind of outsiders. We were like selling our merch rather than
- 51:47playing, and like we all had a dream of like being on the Warp
- 51:51tour. It was like the big thing for bands like us, and we
- 51:54were like let's try and fucking do this. That was like our way of
- 51:58trying to like make it right, and like years later, this guy wrote
- 52:05an article kind of like calling out just like the tour and the founder specifically
- 52:12for like like he kind of like used a bunch of examples of things that
- 52:17he knew had happened and that were like news stories at the time, and
- 52:22like he was like, this happened, X happened. I'll see if I
- 52:25can find the article and maybe I'll link it. I don't know, I
- 52:28can can't say the exact details, but he was like he was kind of
- 52:30a call out, and it was like, hey, dude, like this
- 52:32shit happens at your events. You know, you're responsible for creating a safe
- 52:37space for these teenagers that are paying you money to like, you know,
- 52:42like Kevin Lyman would have all these like meetups with us to like encourage us,
- 52:46you know, like as young bands and business people like supporting our own
- 52:51brands and markets, and like he would talk about things being like you know,
- 52:54like this is your brand, this is my brand, this is how
- 52:58I make money, and this is how I you know, like get the
- 53:00boat and this. It's like this is a private small business. And I'm
- 53:05like, yeah, okay, cool, I get that it's your livelihood,
- 53:07but like also like, you know, you have a moral. You know,
- 53:15the crowd. The age of the crowd that you're appealing to is teenagers
- 53:21and they're mostly and so like you need to create a safe space for like
- 53:27an under eighteen crowd, you know what I mean, like a like a
- 53:30crowd of minors, and so like basically like yeah, like he wrote this
- 53:36article calling him out, and then there was kind of a bit of a
- 53:39smear campaign of like not a smear campaign, but a more of a like
- 53:44a who the fuck cares what Paul says sort of vibe, And there was
- 53:47a like a like a nah, Kevin's always been great kind of vibe,
- 53:52And I'm like, yes, but you know what I mean, Like,
- 53:58you know, I think there's ways that we can like acknowledge that Kevin has
- 54:04been like amazing for like music and like the music scene and punk and whatever
- 54:09and like all this stuff. But like you know, I just like I
- 54:13feel like, for me, questions remain and that's why a joke like that
- 54:16can exist. But I was laughing at it because like I was just like
- 54:21it's funny that it's so you know, obvious. Yeah, for sure,
- 54:27I'm sorry. I feel like that's like too much info. I don't know
- 54:30if I'm going to leave that in, but I just wanted to. I
- 54:34mean, you decide, tell you about it. But where were we?
- 54:37In the movie, Riggs is taking the manager guy uh to his like weird
- 54:45sex dungeon thing where he has to like scoop his eyeballs out because he like,
- 54:52I guess, watched people and yet have sex with he had sex with
- 55:00them. It's like, it's a it's a pretty weird scene. It doesn't
- 55:05feel like a Saw movie in this movie. In this part, it just
- 55:08feels like a weird fetish video. Yeah, yeah, totally totally. It
- 55:13feels like like fetish punishment, like setting up the worst thing you can imagine
- 55:19so that this person deserves their punishment, you know. I mean it's like
- 55:22and eventually it's weird. That's fucking weird, dude. Yeah. Yeah.
- 55:28And eventually he doesn't poke, he doesn't poke both his eyes out. He
- 55:31pokes one of his eyes out, and then his body just gets torn apart,
- 55:37which is like, I don't like this actor. He feels like he's
- 55:44completely out of place in this movie. It feels like he was one of
- 55:46the crew members that they got. This one is also the most dannymul Ruine
- 55:54of all of them. Yeah, so far there's so many Danny more ruins
- 56:00And that's okay. And basically, you know, Riggs is like, oh,
- 56:08I got, I got. The Riggs lesson is like really similar to
- 56:16which which one is he similar to? Oh, it's similar to Danny Glovers
- 56:22in the like, oh, you're pursuing this too much. And then it
- 56:25cuts back to like a flashback that Riggs has where this little girl is being
- 56:31abused, and oh, I know why you don't. You don't understand what
- 56:38this this movie is about. Okay, Okay, I understand. So Riggs
- 56:45has a flashback with this little girl who's getting beaten by her dad, who's
- 56:50like way too old a dad to be her dad, and the age appropriate
- 56:53wife for this guy is also way too old to have this younger daughter,
- 56:58and Riggs beats the shit out of him, and Riggs is, uh the
- 57:04Riggs. The guy who beat Riggs beats the shit out of He has a
- 57:07lawyer, and that lawyer is John's lawyer. H the lawyer who defends this
- 57:15guy. The lawyer who defends he's like the lawyer for everybody as well.
- 57:21That's the twist for why the lawyer that's Donald Trump, dude, that's the
- 57:25guy I need eleven votes. Something something that really made me laugh so much.
- 57:35First of all, I'm gonna say this, I don't know why I
- 57:39love Strong so much. I just think I think he's a really good He
- 57:49feels like a good tired actor, so like, and I'm saying that like
- 57:52as a like, this character's just tired all the time. Like at one
- 57:58point, Jill John's wife is like, do you believe in the Chinese Zodiac?
- 58:04And He's like, oh my god, Jill, what are you talking
- 58:07about? And anyways, sorry, go ahead. That reaction is amazing,
- 58:15dude. Yeah. Yeah, and knowing the law and like getting new law
- 58:21is kind of amazing, dude. Oh yeah, totally absolutely absolute Chinese zodiac.
- 58:24Chinese zodiac. Dude. Well, she's trying to point out that Jigsaw
- 58:30is like super plans everything and that he they had a kid named Gideon,
- 58:36uh, and he like had sex with her at the right time, so
- 58:39that Gideon is going to be the would be born at a certain time.
- 58:44Yeah. But then and like he gets robbed of his child, so like,
- 58:49I mean, dude, like that scene when like stomach gets squished is
- 58:53like, oh man, so something that that I think about happening and that
- 58:58I'm like, oh my god, what what happened? No? Yeah,
- 59:00totally totally uh. And then we see Jigsaw again, this this line where
- 59:07he's like, you're a beautiful girl. You should go home. It's a
- 59:10health clinic. You know. It didn't feel right. It didn't feel Jigsaw
- 59:15to me, even though his whisper was his stage whisper was carrying through the
- 59:20wind like louder than any like scream, louder than any scream O band scream.
- 59:31The guy comes back like this is this This guy is Jigsaw's first kill.
- 59:37The guy who's like a weird methadict who's like what key what key?
- 59:43He was Also he also a Dani moul Room, but a terrible actor,
- 59:46Like this movie was filled with terrible actors and it bothered me because so many
- 59:52other people were so much better. Yeah, and then he yeah, well
- 1:00:00like yeah, so like I kind of like this guy though this Dandy wall
- 1:00:04Rude. You didn't like this guy, Oh say that again. I kind
- 1:00:09of like this Danty wul Rude, the drug addict, Dandy wil Rude that
- 1:00:13liked I liked him when he was pushing his face through the knives. I
- 1:00:19liked him in that scene. But he's just written. Yeah, he's just
- 1:00:23written in a way where it's like he's constantly on edge and I'm like,
- 1:00:27okay, dude, I need some like chill time with this guy. But
- 1:00:32I really really like and yeah, oh sorry, sorry, what were we
- 1:00:39gonna say? I really loved Jigsaw losing his child, uh and being in
- 1:00:45the hospital being large job. Yeah, totally totally. And then when when
- 1:00:52he finally goes, you can't help them. They need to help themselves and
- 1:00:58it's like he realized is his path because of a dead child? Oh man,
- 1:01:04dude du dun h burned yep. Uh. And then Strom ends up
- 1:01:19at the motel to see uh the gussy eyes of dude so gussie man.
- 1:01:31And then they go to like raidh. They go to raid one of Jigsaw's
- 1:01:39like places, uh, and Strong finds out that where the two Jigsaw like
- 1:01:45next victims or whatever, and Donnie starts talking in the next scene where he
- 1:01:51where he goes fuck you and then tries to hang himself. This was the
- 1:01:54most These scenes were the most saw in this series. In this I agree,
- 1:02:00and it was because it was Donnie. In no small part due to
- 1:02:04Donnie and his performance where he delivered even as a like a dangling guy,
- 1:02:09the entire movie like in a booby trap, like literally in like a Batman's
- 1:02:15style booby trap. Yeah, totally. And then this is like the reveal
- 1:02:21that happens where the lawyer you find out that the lawyer knows both Riggs and
- 1:02:29Hoffman and the guy that Rigs punched earlier. That ends up in the school
- 1:02:37where they're pulling out where the wife is like pulling out the like arrows.
- 1:02:42Do you remember that part? Oh dude? I okay, So so the
- 1:02:45arrow pulling out was actually really cool and I liked it. I liked I
- 1:02:50liked that the wife like she was amazing, Like it was kind of like
- 1:02:53a dude, That performance was fucking incredible, her being like, oh my
- 1:03:00god, like the panic chicken. Oh man, it was amazing, and
- 1:03:04I totally amazing. I bought it too. I thought she did a great
- 1:03:07job. I thought she did a great job. And I thought that like
- 1:03:09her resolve to kill her husband but also her guilt over killing her husband.
- 1:03:16Yeah, like there's a real duality there where she's like I'm gonna do it,
- 1:03:22and I really will feel like I have won since I've done it,
- 1:03:24but I don't feel good about it. Yeah, totally, totally. It
- 1:03:30was really nice and and that so that that happens later. But the but
- 1:03:35in the flashback, we get some context of this lawyer. Sorry, that's
- 1:03:39okay. This lawyer also wanted hop to get quote unquote get Hoffman. So
- 1:03:47we've got like, you know, Riggs remembering that he's with the little girl.
- 1:03:52And then Riggs finally gets to this scene where what's interesting about the the
- 1:04:00lady who pulls the arrows out is that it's a flashback for her as to
- 1:04:03what happened and her being so outrageously like her being so apologetic and the husband
- 1:04:20being like what the fuck are you doing and being like a fuck this,
- 1:04:26I'm gonna survive. I don't care about this dude anymore. I don't want
- 1:04:30I don't want to die. Yeah, I mean I think she you know,
- 1:04:35she was like you really like the movie earned that reaction from us,
- 1:04:44and like it the movie earned our like sorry, the movie earned that for
- 1:04:50the character, Like it was like, this is what this woman is going
- 1:04:55through. Yeah, totally, it's we're gonna just like. That's I think
- 1:04:59the power of these movies is that they justify the things to us that feel
- 1:05:03like the worst kinds of things, right, like murder or like it's always
- 1:05:09the aim of the movie to kind of be like, yeah, but you
- 1:05:12can see how how Jigsaw feels that way, you know what I mean?
- 1:05:15Totally totally, And then we get we get more of Donnie being like,
- 1:05:20why don't you just fucking kill me, dude, please? And by this
- 1:05:25point we're all like, yeah, dude, why don't you just kill this
- 1:05:28dude? Like it's so weird and sad that you've kept him alive this long.
- 1:05:31I know, I leave him alone. I feel like he would be
- 1:05:34so traumatized after too, and he wouldn't be able to live a normal life.
- 1:05:39He would think everything was a weird test. Imagine being gaslighted so much
- 1:05:45that you just think you're You're like, your entire life everything is a weird
- 1:05:49test. Now, Yeah, dude, Like the Joshmo show, which they
- 1:05:53did in real life to trait some guy, or that like Japanese show where
- 1:06:00they like put that guy show. No, no, it's not a Japanese
- 1:06:02show. Was it a Green show? I don't know where I remember what
- 1:06:09you're talking about. The thing built. Yeah, they built the room.
- 1:06:15I can't talk about that. That's so upset, that's so like, it's
- 1:06:17really upsetting. How could they do that to someone? But man, like,
- 1:06:23it's really hard to talk about this movie because there's so much in it.
- 1:06:26But it's really funny and fun it's so funny. It's so funny.
- 1:06:30And Jill. We find out that Jill owns this building that the woman who
- 1:06:35got who pulled out the arrows from it, and then love Lords, Yeah
- 1:06:41totally. But then this this annoying thing happens where Agent Perez and uh Strom
- 1:06:50go into another room and Billy the Puppet is there, and Billy the Puppet's
- 1:06:55face explodes into Perez's face. Okay, so I guess this is setting up
- 1:07:00something in a future movie. But it's like, don't believe this guy or
- 1:07:04something. If you trust this guy, you'll die. And then it like
- 1:07:09shoots a fucking clay into her artery or something. Yeah, it is like,
- 1:07:15yeah, panic, it goes everywhere but her eyes. Yeah, totally.
- 1:07:21And then and then uh, we we see what's his name? We
- 1:07:27see Donnie fucking pretending like he's choking. Uh and then he grabs up the
- 1:07:32lawyer to try and save himself. Again, Mann, you can, you
- 1:07:39could kill me, but it's really not gonna kill this guy. Besides you
- 1:07:44to kill this guy listen, and and he's like, fuck, all right,
- 1:07:50I'm not gonna kill this new Jigsaw beside me. He's totally just like
- 1:07:56Detective Juicy lives. He is totally detective he lived. And then he hands
- 1:08:02he hands Donnie a gun because he's like, Okay, your time's almost up
- 1:08:06and you can you you have to kill the person that comes through that door
- 1:08:13to save all of us. And then Strong finally figures out that the lawyer
- 1:08:18was Jill's lawyer and Jigsaw's lawyer, and man, I gotta say the scene
- 1:08:29between the lawyer and Jigsaw where they come to see his like lab or whatever,
- 1:08:33and Jigsaw is like like he comes up to him and he's like hey
- 1:08:38John, where they're like super friend. He's like super friendly and John is
- 1:08:42like disappointed in him, and he's like John, I don't understand, Like
- 1:08:46what's wrong? What's going on? He keeps saying his name too. It's
- 1:08:50pretty interesting in terms of this goes back to relationships in the Saw movies being
- 1:09:00really really interestingly written sometimes where characters will know each other and have these like
- 1:09:10weirdly intimate scenes with each other, and it's like, oh man, these
- 1:09:13do characters really do feel like they've known each other for a really long time.
- 1:09:16Speaking of the lawyer and and John specifically, when when they go to
- 1:09:21like John goes to give up his shares of of the like whatever business they
- 1:09:29own to give it a Yeah, they acted it really really well. And
- 1:09:42then and then what's her name? What's her name? Uh? Jill confronts
- 1:09:48John about Cecil going missing. Uh, the guy who pushes his face through
- 1:09:54the knives, And then yeah, I was like, what the fuck,
- 1:09:58dude? Yeah, and he's shifty. Yeah, John doing the remix of
- 1:10:03his own voice at one point, and then going to the like Chinese festival
- 1:10:10or whatever and putting out grabbing the first pig mask, uh and putting chlorophyll
- 1:10:15chlorophyl more like borophyl in in the mask and then shoving it on his face.
- 1:10:20Oh dude, but that was like it was a kind of like a
- 1:10:24cartoonish pig mask. Yeah, totally totally as opposed to an actual pick.
- 1:10:28It wasn't like a weird like flesh pig mask. Yeah, totally, dude.
- 1:10:33Did I tell you about this guy that I saw on the street?
- 1:10:38Totally about Okay, Well, speaking of like pig mask lore, I saw
- 1:10:45this guy on the street that had like that was wearing like a like a
- 1:10:49like a bones mask, like a he looked like he looked like what maybe
- 1:10:58a Christopher Nolan bat man evil villain would look like, but like that level
- 1:11:03of costuming too, Like the face was like he looked like his hands looked
- 1:11:08like dirty. It was like dirty under the fingernails, and like he looked
- 1:11:11like, you know, he was in kind of like a disheveled sort of
- 1:11:15like clothing but it was like fishnets and stuff. It was like cool,
- 1:11:19it looked like a costume. And he was wearing like this like this like
- 1:11:24bird mask. It was like bird bones mask that was like it was like
- 1:11:30a hawk or something. And he had like it was like a mask on
- 1:11:32his face and underneath it was like painted black like it was like something way
- 1:11:41like like the face paint, you know how they acknowledged that and the something
- 1:11:46well he had it underneath and I was like, whoa dude? Like and
- 1:11:50I mean I was so weird, dude, Like it was like, just
- 1:11:54like this person like walking around and then like he was standing at a stoplight
- 1:12:00looking at me like hawkishly, not to not to not to pun with the
- 1:12:05mask, but he was looking at me like kind of like with a piercing
- 1:12:09stare, and I was like, I was like whoa. And then I
- 1:12:13kind of just like wanted to like play it off, like I wasn't being
- 1:12:15looked at. And then he like continued and then he looked into a restaurant.
- 1:12:21I saw him like cock his head kind of to the side and like
- 1:12:26look and stare intimidatingly into a restaurant. And after he looked at me intimidatingly,
- 1:12:32he looked at other people on the street intimidatingly. It felt like he
- 1:12:36was like a vigilanti justice guy or something. I don't know, Yeah,
- 1:12:40totally totally. I felt you were like buch Fly, Jigsaw wants to give
- 1:12:53people the tools to survive, to discard their vices, and to say it
- 1:12:59to have look sorry when he says sorry. To reclaim your life, you
- 1:13:08have to discard the vices that have corrupted your soul. And the guy's like,
- 1:13:12I don't have a fucking soul, oh man, I mean that was
- 1:13:17kind of like sometimes like Jigsaws met with these people that are kind of like
- 1:13:23real, Like this guy's like, yeah, dude, I've had like a
- 1:13:25fucking hard life. Like I'm like I'm a drug addict. I'm like struggling,
- 1:13:29and like you're like a fucking rich guy teaching me a lesson. It's
- 1:13:33like, yeah, what are you doing, Like you're putting this like poor
- 1:13:38person into Like he's like, you've made your decisions. It's like very libertarian,
- 1:13:44very juveniley libertarian, like of like doesn't acknowledge any like sort of like
- 1:13:50life circumstances. I will guy's had a disadvantage compared to that disadvantage, Yeah,
- 1:13:57absolutely absolutely. But also I'm of the fact that he goes, what
- 1:14:01the fuck is that when he reveals the knives and he's like, it's the
- 1:14:04tool, the tool that's gonna save your life. I really really enjoyed that.
- 1:14:12I really enjoyed this scene. I thought Cecil did the best job in
- 1:14:15this scene. The rest of it was just like you have to like we
- 1:14:17have to write it in quick, and he's like a creepy, cringey guy.
- 1:14:21You know, totally. Did you like how a jigsaw like in that
- 1:14:29later scene and side steps, but the guy frees himself gently side steps for
- 1:14:33the guy to fall into the barbed wire. Oh yeah, totally. Yeah,
- 1:14:38Yeah, that's that's what it is. Like he goes and he tries
- 1:14:42to to like fight him, and he's like, I'm gonna fuck kill you,
- 1:14:45and then he just like it just like gets caught in the barbed wire
- 1:14:49and it's just like, oh man, that's fucking brutal. Yeah dude.
- 1:14:55Yeah. And then we have the other flashback scene where Jill is like finally
- 1:14:59breakd up with him and he's like she's like, what's happening to you?
- 1:15:01And he's like, what's happening to me? And he starts like destroying his
- 1:15:04stuff and he destroys the three hundred year old clock man that this that part
- 1:15:12was like, I was like, whoa dude, We've never seen violent Jigsaw.
- 1:15:16We've never seen it. Like he's always been priding himself on like how
- 1:15:20calm and collected he is, and like the whole thing with him is that
- 1:15:24he's like, oh, nothing can really get to get to well, you
- 1:15:30kind of have to get to a point where you explore different different emotional states
- 1:15:34because in order to keep a character, especially like this interesting. You need
- 1:15:41to keep either upping the ante with traps or keep justifying with emotion how and
- 1:15:49what is going to happen? Right? And this movie does both. Dude,
- 1:15:54Yeah, it does what it needs to do. Dude, it does
- 1:15:56what this Yeah, they do a lot of stuff that they because I like,
- 1:16:01Okay, so honestly, they didn't need to kill Jigsaw. Like that's
- 1:16:09like, this is the thing that Kays was saying, like he was like
- 1:16:14he was saying that he thinks that this movie makes the cardinal sin that the
- 1:16:17rest of the movies pay for, and that's killing Jigsaw. And I'm like,
- 1:16:23I felt like the third movie didn't need to kill Jigsaw. His neck
- 1:16:27got cut, sure, but like so did Danny Glovers. We already have
- 1:16:30a neck cutting tries the tooth. We didn't need to make it that deep
- 1:16:33a cut, you know, like it could have been like a slice surface
- 1:16:38wound that he gets saved from. You know what The thing is though,
- 1:16:43you have to sort of one. I don't know if they ever thought they
- 1:16:47were gonna make it pass three, to be honest, and number two,
- 1:16:53which which by the third one clearly they did because they set up a whole
- 1:16:57bunch of stuff for the fourth one. But like they I don't think they
- 1:17:00were like thinking like, oh, yeah, this is gonna be a series
- 1:17:03franchise with this guy because like he was like he was old then, so
- 1:17:11it's yeah, character around an old man is like kind of tough and what
- 1:17:15it's funny because he makes leaning into the charisma of Jigsaw makes the movies better.
- 1:17:21Oh yeah, that's why we have to give it out of Jigsaws because
- 1:17:27he's the main character of all of them. He is the main character of
- 1:17:30all of them. Yeah, and and also setting up the cancer storyline and
- 1:17:34having that backing off of that would have also been a cardinal sim because but
- 1:17:42like I know he's in some of these subsequent ones, How does how did
- 1:17:45they explain it? You? You have to see, dude, you have
- 1:17:48to see I get late, dude. I'm so exciting. Part of it,
- 1:17:55also, part of the fun is like how things come back, where
- 1:17:59things go, what timelines things happen at, because like we're already like like
- 1:18:05five years into a franchise and it's still taking place in I guess two thousand
- 1:18:11and four or like okay, so like when do we get to the scene
- 1:18:15where we realize that we're seeing the past at a certain point, like we're
- 1:18:20getting another parallel timelines sort of story that gets revealed to us. Well,
- 1:18:27this does happen. This is the thing about this movie too, is that
- 1:18:30it's like flashbacks within flashbacks within different timelines. And it's like, I love
- 1:18:36the line where Jigsaw forces Jill to go out and he's like, you do
- 1:18:42it for yourself if you can't do it for me, and she leaves,
- 1:18:47and he's got the like he turns around and he sees the like glass box,
- 1:18:54the like what's it called, the like the tomb or whatever, the
- 1:19:00glass tomb, and that sets up well you'll see, but there's the glass
- 1:19:06tomb. And then we was Strong finally realizes that the Gideon is the name
- 1:19:16of one of Jigsaw's properties, and Riggs has already got there. So Riggs
- 1:19:23comes in to the place and Donnie doesn't know what to do, doesn't know
- 1:19:29who he's gonna shoot. Uh, and man, he should just shoot himself,
- 1:19:34dude. That's the thing that I was like at that point, I
- 1:19:38was just like, oh my god, dude, Like it was so torturous.
- 1:19:42Yeah, yeah. And then and then we finally realized that the two
- 1:19:45ice blocks are gonna smash Donnie Wolverg's ind if if Riggs doesn't complete his final
- 1:19:53test, and he's like, who's coming through the door? Who's coming through
- 1:19:57that? Doar Oh? That was like amazing, Like the fact that they
- 1:20:02made Donnie Wahlberg like fucking puffy and like swollen and kind of like just like
- 1:20:10was so disheveled was amazing, dude, Like so amazing, Like I couldn't
- 1:20:15believe that they took this in this direction, that like disheveled, just like
- 1:20:20sloopy, cloopy Donnie just like the most unflattering, Like this guy is a
- 1:20:27good looking guy, and like he's like a musician, you know what I
- 1:20:30mean, Like he's always willing to make himself so like flowable in rolls and
- 1:20:35like maybe he thoid that's what he thinks. Acting is is like being really
- 1:20:40like committing with his body getting his leg crushed with a fucking toilet seat,
- 1:20:45dude. And then we get Strom, who's actually at the wrong building and
- 1:20:54he appears where Jeff appears at the end of the third one. Uh So
- 1:21:00this timeline is happening parallel with Jeff and Lynn and Amanda getting killed. H
- 1:21:10And then Riggs comes in and he's from the last movie, from the last
- 1:21:14movie, and what's his It's revealed that the lawyer is also in a trap
- 1:21:20that he has where it's like a pinchy thing on the back of his neck.
- 1:21:25Oh dude, the fact that he has like a fucking weird spine snipper
- 1:21:30like it's just like, dude, like the like creativity of like and like
- 1:21:35just the implication of having like a like a dagger like thing around his neck,
- 1:21:42just being like, it's gonna do something. We don't need to know
- 1:21:44what totally we know what it's gonna do. And then Jeff, Jeff is
- 1:21:50like bars my daughter and he gets shot him barreling through again just being like
- 1:21:58the most fucking like just I don't know, like just hit. The intensity
- 1:22:03of Jeff's performance in the last movie, the Scottish intensity, the swarthy Scottish
- 1:22:09intensity, was amazing, dude, totally amazing, totally comment again. And
- 1:22:15then what's her name Lynn's gushy face still being a gush face and Riggs being
- 1:22:25like, I had more time, I had more time, and and the
- 1:22:28whole point was that if you just let the time er go. Eric Matthews
- 1:22:32would have been saved, oh man, and the lawyer being like, chicksaw
- 1:22:38is testing you, fucking piece of shit. Everybody being again so fucking hostile
- 1:22:43in these movies and more and more hostile I know. But like it's like,
- 1:22:47Okay, this is the other uxbridge I have with this. Yeah,
- 1:22:50it's like at a certain point, if your like tests are like so trolley
- 1:22:57that, like they're so difficult to understand that nobody can like riddle you this,
- 1:23:02then like you're not like nobody's like learning the like tell me what the
- 1:23:08lesson is you want me to learn? Yeah, you know what I mean.
- 1:23:10I mean, but he's always like he does always tell you, dude,
- 1:23:12He always does tell you. He always does tell you. And then
- 1:23:15the lawyer tries to like grab the tape for him and he presses it and
- 1:23:19Rigs fucking shoots the dude and he goes, like you hear on the tape,
- 1:23:24Hello, Riggs, if you're hearing this, then Detective Matthews has had
- 1:23:29two ice cubes smash his head. And it's like the rules were clear,
- 1:23:34you were warned, and it was because like you know, Riggs like jumps
- 1:23:40the gun, like he opens the door at Carrie. He like, let's
- 1:23:45go of his like wife and whatever for his job. It's everybody is impulsive,
- 1:23:55that's the thing. And it's like, did Riggs deserve this? Is
- 1:23:58this arbitrary? Riggs deserved to fucking die and like kill a guy brutally that
- 1:24:03is his friend because he wanted to save a friend, you know what I
- 1:24:08mean. He was too eager to save a friend. But here's the thing
- 1:24:12here, Well it gets just fun, dude. So Hoffman comes out and
- 1:24:25he's he's like, you see Riggs' reaction, and it's like, I don't
- 1:24:29understand this is this is you know, Jigsaw was on his deathbed like and
- 1:24:34then he's like, then you see Carrie and she's like, I'm not sure
- 1:24:38it was Jigsaw. And then Hoffman is revealed to be the like actual successor
- 1:24:46duo dude. And also, yeah, they right on a bunch of the
- 1:24:55pig masks who who get in the way. So it's like, oh,
- 1:24:59you thought it was Amanda in the last one, but it was actually this,
- 1:25:04yeah, exactly exactly, and he goes game over and then closes the
- 1:25:10door on on Strong and then well here's the thing. It wraps all the
- 1:25:18way back around to the beginning of the movie where Juicy Lips is listening to
- 1:25:24the tape again and he's like, did you think he would walk away from
- 1:25:27this? You know? Uh, And the whole movie was actually the beginning
- 1:25:32of the movie was actually the end of the movie, and the end of
- 1:25:35the movie was rigged. The twist of the movie is Riggs realizing that all
- 1:25:43of the work he had done for Jigsaw was actually a test for him as
- 1:25:48well. So it's like, I don't know, he's like eleven dimensional Jessig,
- 1:25:54but what would you give a movie out of ten? Well that that
- 1:26:00was it, That that's all that happens. I mean, yeah, I
- 1:26:02mean like so yeah, sorry, go ahead, I was gonna say the
- 1:26:06eleven dimensional chessing was was was difficult, you know, like it was like
- 1:26:14like like keeping up with the story. Does it get easier to keep up
- 1:26:17with the story? Yeah, it's a pretty exhausting one. The fifth one
- 1:26:23is a lot, a lot easier to follow. Okay, I'm just a
- 1:26:27little worried because, like I feel like they do this sometimes maybe on the
- 1:26:31even ones they raise the stakes too much and then they have to make up
- 1:26:34for it on the odd ones. Yeah, totally. They have to like
- 1:26:38justify a bunch of the things, but like adding what's nice about it actually
- 1:26:43is that adding the complexity of of these ones allow for the next one to
- 1:26:48be a lot simpler because it's just kind of explaining the the weird stuff that
- 1:26:55happened before. Cool, but we'll get to the one. I think it's
- 1:27:00a better movie than this In terms of my rating, I'm gonna give like
- 1:27:09pretty low, pretty low. For Tobin Bell. It felt like a poorly
- 1:27:15written version of Saw. It had nothing to do with his performance. His
- 1:27:19performance was really good and getting to see him be like Thought the Body but
- 1:27:26also like sad Bloomer. It felt a little bit like I am I am
- 1:27:34not. I'm not into this version of Jigsaw. His performance was good and
- 1:27:42that's about it. I didn't find his motivations as compelling, and I think
- 1:27:48the peak of Jigsaw was the third one for me. So I'm gonna give
- 1:27:56it like a six. I'm gonna give me six out of ten for ratings
- 1:28:00I would give it. I would give it the same for this for the
- 1:28:01same reason. Honestly, like, like as aid, listen, I'm really
- 1:28:06enjoying the Saw series and I really had fun with this and I had fun
- 1:28:11talking to you about it, but like it's not good, you know,
- 1:28:14like it's like, I don't know, it's it's good. It's good as
- 1:28:17it's a good Saw movie, but it's a six. It's like, you
- 1:28:21know, it's just I feel like I need to I've enjoyed this so much
- 1:28:27and I'm loving the lore, but like it feels like the little kid in
- 1:28:30me enjoyed this. Yeah, but maybe it's not great, you know what
- 1:28:33I mean? Yeah, for sure, And it feels like there was a
- 1:28:38lot of missed opportunities that I feel like the better writers of the movie wouldn't
- 1:28:44have missed. Uh and just kind of for the first one not written by
- 1:28:47lewanel and yeah, yeah exactly and James Wan and James. So it feels
- 1:28:55like it doesn't have quite the horror background. It has the new horror background
- 1:29:00as opposed to the horror background. It has the scream oh to It's the
- 1:29:04scream O to the New Metal. Dude, it is the scream oh to
- 1:29:08the New Metal. I'm pretty excited to talk to you about the fifth one.
- 1:29:13I'm on the sixth one now. Oh really, you've already watched the
- 1:29:18fifth one? Yeah, I've already watched the fifth one. Yeah, so
- 1:29:20should we do it tomorrow? Yeah, we're going to do it tomorrow.

- 1:29:31these in such rapid succession, dude, Yeah, dude. And then there
