  There are rules to surviving a horror movie.
• 0:11
  Don't split up, don't investigate the noise, and never say, "I'll be right
• 0:17
  back." Here, three friends break down the scares, the kills, the monsters,
• 0:24
  and the terrible decisions that got everyone there in the first place.
• 0:28
  We rate the scares, we roast the victims, and we ask the important
• 0:33
  question: Would we survive?
• 0:37
  So dim the lights, pour the drinks, and prepare for spoilers.
• 0:43
  This is The Scarier Things Club.
• 0:48
  Hi, welcome back.
• 0:49
  This is The Scarier Things Club.
• 0:50
  We're so excited to have you join us today.
• 0:53
  So if you tuned in, we're just gonna get right into it.
• 0:55
  If you tuned in to our last episode, we had talked about we
• 0:58
  were gonna do the movie Signs.
• 1:00
  We're not gonna do that today.
• 1:02
  Plot twist.
• 1:02
  We promise we will get to it, but there has been a movie out recently in
• 1:07
  theaters that has really just blown up.
• 1:10
  That movie is Obsession.
• 1:12
  We- Listen, our group, we got a babysitter.
• 1:15
  We left, we left the babies at home.
• 1:19
  We went out on a week night, on a Tuesday night, to go watch this movie,
• 1:24
  and it did not disappoint, by any means.
• 1:27
  No.
• 1:28
  So we have not talked about this movie.
• 1:30
  This has been, like, two weeks ago that we went and watched it.
• 1:33
  Has it been that long?
• 1:33
  Uh-huh.
• 1:33
  Yeah, it was the day before my birthday.
• 1:35
  It was.
• 1:36
  Yes.
• 1:37
  And so I really went through a deep dive.
• 1:42
  I watched so many YouTube videos, like- Ooh … divulging this movie- Yeah
• 1:46
  Afterwards.
• 1:46
  So we're, that's what we're gonna talk about today.
• 1:49
  We promise the next episode will be Signs.
• 1:50
  We'll go back to our our regular routine.
• 1:53
  And that's kinda the beauty of this podcast, is that, there's all of these
• 1:57
  movies that kinda stand the test of time, but there have been so many new
• 2:01
  movies that have come out, and so we're gonna always do just kind of a mixture.
• 2:06
  There are spoilers, so big spoiler alert for this episode.
• 2:10
  If you have not seen it yet maybe pause.
• 2:13
  Go listen to our other episodes.
• 2:14
  Um, and then once you've seen it, come back.
• 2:16
  I do believe today maybe, or yesterday, some- so at some point this week,
• 2:21
  Obsession was released to streaming.
• 2:24
  I don't think it's a free streaming, and I should have
• 2:27
  looked it up where it's streaming.
• 2:28
  I bet I can find that really quick.
• 2:30
  Where it's streaming.
• 2:31
  Yeah, it, it did release on June 30th, so yesterday.
• 2:33
  Yeah.
• 2:34
  Yeah.
• 2:34
  Yeah.
• 2:34
  As we record.
• 2:35
  Yes.
• 2:36
  But as we re- As, as we record
• 2:36
  … not as you watch it.
• 2:37
  Yes, that's correct.
• 2:38
  Um, and I think it is an extended cut maybe-
• 2:42
  That's right
• 2:42
  … or a director's cut.
• 2:43
  It is.
• 2:43
  It is.
• 2:44
  Oh.
• 2:44
  Yes.
• 2:44
  We gotta watch that.
• 2:45
  So now I wanna watch that too.
• 2:46
  Wow.
• 2:47
  For real.
• 2:47
  I can't imagine, like, what else they could have added.
• 2:50
  I know, because I also don't know if I wanna put myself through that again.
• 2:54
  It was so intense.
• 2:54
  I think I could.
• 2:56
  I think I could f- for the sake of it-
• 2:58
  Yeah
• 2:58
  … to experience that and to see what else, like you say, what else can they add?
• 3:02
  But I- was so tense that whole time-
• 3:07
  Yes
• 3:07
  … and I didn't realize it until we left the theater-
• 3:10
  … That I had a physical response and my whole, like, my chest was tight.
• 3:14
  Yeah.
• 3:15
  Well, before we get super deep into this, this movie- Yeah … um, what I brought to
• 3:21
  the club today, I, and I haven't asked you guys this question yet, so I want honesty.
• 3:26
  Always.
• 3:27
  This is some introspection, okay?
• 3:28
  'Cause I, I have my answer that I will share.
• 3:32
  So this movie, they're… Did they just graduate high school?
• 3:35
  Did I, did I- I don't know … get that correctly?
• 3:38
  Mm-hmm.
• 3:38
  'Cause they were all living well-
• 3:40
  ' Cause they were, like, talking about- That is confusing … getting into school.
• 3:43
  Mm-hmm.
• 3:43
  So in my mind, they had just graduated high school.
• 3:44
  Hmm.
• 3:45
  That's a good point.
• 3:46
  Yeah, 'cause she- So- … she had just got that letter.
• 3:47
  Yeah.
• 3:47
  Yeah.
• 3:48
  About- Yeah … but she had been denied a lot of, to going to a lot of colleges too.
• 3:53
  So I don't know if it was over time, because they also
• 3:56
  were living on their own.
• 3:57
  Right, a lot of them were.
• 3:58
  Okay, so I guess that isn't-
• 3:59
  So I'm confused.
• 4:00
  So that kind of plays into my second question, but my first question
• 4:03
  is, before we met our spouses-
• 4:05
  Who would you have used a One Wish Willow on to- Oh … make
• 4:08
  them fall in love with you?
• 4:09
  Oh, goodness.
• 4:10
  While you think about it, I'll talk about mine.
• 4:12
  Okay.
• 4:12
  At what time of your life?
• 4:14
  This was seventh grade until senior year of high school.
• 4:17
  Okay.
• 4:17
  So for five years.
• 4:19
  Okay.
• 4:19
  I would've used my One Wish Willow… Do we wanna use just first names?
• 4:26
  Yeah, probably.
• 4:29
  I mean, if he ever watches this, he's gonna be like,
• 4:31
  he's gonna know immediately.
• 4:32
  I would've wished that Chase would have fallen in love with
• 4:36
  me, love me more than the world.
• 4:37
  Let me tell you, I met Chase- … in seventh grade in typing class, and he also
• 4:43
  was in band, and he was a percussionist, and I just, I immediately, it was like
• 4:49
  love at, like he was my first love, truly.
• 4:51
  But he never liked me back.
• 4:54
  Did he know- He never … you and he knew you liked him?
• 4:57
  Yeah, he had to have known.
• 4:59
  Oh.
• 4:59
  He had to have known.
• 5:00
  And it was, like, intense.
• 5:02
  And it was a big deal because I fell in love with him in seventh grade.
• 5:05
  We were, like, in the same friend group.
• 5:07
  I think at one point, I had had someone tell him, like, "Hey, she's into you,"
• 5:10
  and he was like, "No, I'm not interested." And it was a big deal because when we
• 5:14
  went to eighth grade, we went to different h- junior highs, and I was heartbroken.
• 5:19
  I was- Aww … 'cause I was like, "I'm not gonna see him for two years.
• 5:21
  He's gonna fall in love with some other girl.
• 5:23
  What's gonna happen?" So before, before summer break, I had gone, this is
• 5:28
  so dumb, I had gone to Silver Dollar City, and I bought this really, in the
• 5:34
  day, I thought it was so cute, but it was, like, a butterfly necklace, and
• 5:37
  I wore that sucker every day, every s- with my polos, and my headband- Mm
• 5:42
  and my Unplucked eyebrows.
• 5:43
  Yes.
• 5:44
  That was my uniform.
• 5:45
  And then there was one day where I forgot to wear it, and Chase
• 5:49
  did not go to school that day.
• 5:52
  And so I was like, "It's the necklace." It
• 5:54
  is
• 5:54
  the power
• 5:55
  of the butterfly.
• 5:56
  The
• 5:57
  necklace of power.
• 5:57
  Yes.
• 5:57
  And so, and of course, I told my best friend this.
• 5:59
  I was like, "Listen, you're gonna think I'm totally crazy, but I have
• 6:02
  this necklace and it's all-powerful.
• 6:04
  This is an all-powerful necklace." And- From Silver Dollar City.
• 6:09
  That hundreds of people also have.
• 6:11
  You're right, yeah.
• 6:12
  They're gonna be like, "What, this old thing?"
• 6:13
  Yeah.
• 6:14
  And-
• 6:14
  It's your One Wish Willow, though
• 6:16
  … oh, but it did not.
• 6:17
  It's the
• 6:17
  real
• 6:17
  thing.
• 6:17
  Maybe it got spared.
• 6:19
  Maybe I got spared.
• 6:20
  Yeah, maybe you did.
• 6:22
  But anyway seventh grade ends.
• 6:24
  We go to first day of, of eighth grade.
• 6:26
  Guess what I wore to school?
• 6:28
  Had to be that butterfly
• 6:30
  necklace.
• 6:31
  My best friend was like, "What, do you think he's gonna show up here?"
• 6:34
  Like, she was so cruel to me, and I-
• 6:38
  Are you still friends?
• 6:39
  Oh, yeah.
• 6:39
  Okay.
• 6:40
  Of course we are.
• 6:40
  Yeah.
• 6:41
  Okay, then I won't
• 6:41
  say anything.
• 6:42
  We're… No, you can say it.
• 6:44
  She… Listen, I think she probably was like, she knew from the get-go,
• 6:48
  like, it was never gonna work.
• 6:49
  Yeah.
• 6:50
  And I was just delusional.
• 6:51
  But if I, if someone would have told me, "You can make a wish and he will
• 6:56
  fall in love with you," I instantly, I would have ignored the warnings.
• 6:59
  I would have wished for that.
• 7:01
  Obviously, looking back, I'm very thankful- … for how life has played out.
• 7:05
  But that's who I would have used my-
• 7:07
  Ooh
• 7:08
  … One Wish Willow on.
• 7:09
  Do you guys have anybody?
• 7:10
  I guess it's okay if you don't.
• 7:12
  I really just wanted to talk about my experience.
• 7:14
  Mine would have, 100% would have been the billion dollars.
• 7:17
  That's what you would have wished?
• 7:18
  Okay.
• 7:19
  So there was no one before- In high school or- There was no person?
• 7:22
  … that you liked that never liked you or that-
• 7:25
  I mean, I'm sure there was, but none that I would ever be like, none that
• 7:28
  I was ever like really just obsessed.
• 7:33
  Oh.
• 7:33
  Good.
• 7:34
  Very good.
• 7:34
  Yeah.
• 7:34
  I, like, would learn, I figured out how to write his name in Wingdings.
• 7:39
  The symbols.
• 7:40
  Isn't this-
• 7:43
  I really did.
• 7:44
  And it was all, I would write it all over my folders and all over my paper.
• 7:50
  And it was, I- I really- Like, you drew…
• 7:56
  You know, I just learned something today.
• 7:58
  I did not know that you could spell stuff with Wingdings.
• 8:00
  What?
• 8:01
  Yeah.
• 8:01
  It's a- It was all
• 8:02
  found out … it's a whole- I thought it was just random symbols.
• 8:04
  I didn't know you could actually- Well,
• 8:05
  yeah.
• 8:05
  Yeah, but every-
• 8:07
  Every one was tied to a letter … everything correlates to a, yeah.
• 8:08
  Oh, okay.
• 8:09
  Yeah.
• 8:09
  Well, I learned something new today.
• 8:10
  S-
• 8:10
  but which version?
• 8:11
  There are a lot of versions of
• 8:12
  Wingdings.
• 8:12
  Oh, my Go- I know.
• 8:13
  I don't remember.
• 8:14
  Probably the first one that came up.
• 8:16
  So you were able to draw them out?
• 8:18
  Yeah.
• 8:19
  Oh, I could never.
• 8:20
  That's because I w- that's how obsessed I was.
• 8:22
  You practiced a lot.
• 8:24
  I did, yeah.
• 8:25
  Okay.
• 8:27
  Shannon really- I
• 8:28
  love knowing that about you.
• 8:30
  I know.
• 8:31
  I know.
• 8:31
  Listen, like, and I think I've shown you a picture of, like-
• 8:34
  Of you at that time?
• 8:36
  Yeah.
• 8:36
  Yeah.
• 8:37
  And she really needed a hug.
• 8:39
  She really needed some help.
• 8:41
  And it to- uh, looking back, I'm like, "I totally get it, bro. Like,
• 8:44
  no hard feelings. I get it." But yeah, I was, I was hardcore, like,
• 8:49
  head-over-heels in love with him.
• 8:50
  Yeah.
• 8:52
  In high school, there was one boy that, at the time, I would have been like-
• 9:01
  We're so similar that we, it's natural.
• 9:04
  We were made to be together.
• 9:05
  Yeah.
• 9:05
  Of course.
• 9:06
  Yeah.
• 9:07
  Oh, gross.
• 9:08
  I, I feel, does that feel weird to say their f- name?
• 9:11
  Like for me, that feels weird.
• 9:12
  Oh.
• 9:12
  I mean, he knew I liked him.
• 9:13
  I, for a second I was like, do I, I, 'cause I've been thinking about this,
• 9:18
  I was like, do we give a code name?
• 9:20
  You could give a code name.
• 9:21
  No, I'm fine.
• 9:22
  I just, I just transmitted it.
• 9:22
  I'm 35 years old, I don't care.
• 9:24
  Yeah.
• 9:25
  But isn't that weird how-
• 9:26
  … You're like still kinda self-conscious about it?
• 9:28
  Your teenage self is like- There's that … hmm, it's like the- It's
• 9:31
  like the- … every girl they knew is- Yeah … and it's, the time has passed.
• 9:33
  You were not sly.
• 9:34
  Yeah.
• 9:34
  Yeah, no.
• 9:35
  His name was Justin, and I was just absolutely sure.
• 9:40
  Yes.
• 9:40
  Is this the
• 9:40
  Justin?
• 9:40
  The one.
• 9:41
  The very one.
• 9:41
  Oh, wow.
• 9:43
  Okay.
• 9:44
  Yeah.
• 9:45
  That's the one, girl.
• 9:47
  Wow.
• 9:48
  Um, isn't that crazy?
• 9:49
  Yeah.
• 9:49
  The Lord's provision, man.
• 9:51
  Ain't that right?
• 9:52
  Ain't that the truth?
• 9:53
  But yeah.
• 9:53
  And then in college it would've been Gerard Butler.
• 9:58
  Oh.
• 9:58
  For sure.
• 9:58
  Age difference- Oh my
• 9:59
  gosh
• 10:00
  … obviously that's my thing,
• 10:01
  if we're doing celebrities.
• 10:03
  Wow.
• 10:04
  Ooh.
• 10:05
  In college, that would've been the one.
• 10:07
  Okay.
• 10:07
  See, that's, that's where you wanna go is, is you wanna, instead of
• 10:10
  wishing it away on someone in high school, go for a celebrity 'cause
• 10:14
  then they've already got the money.
• 10:15
  Mm-hmm.
• 10:15
  You're right.
• 10:16
  No prenup.
• 10:17
  Yeah.
• 10:18
  ' Cause
• 10:18
  that way then if
• 10:19
  they're terrible, then you still come out-
• 10:20
  They wouldn't want a prenup … on top … because they would be obsessed with you.
• 10:23
  Oh, you're right.
• 10:24
  You're right.
• 10:24
  I forget about that.
• 10:25
  Yeah.
• 10:26
  Huh.
• 10:27
  Okay.
• 10:29
  Can we who, celebrity now, who would it be?
• 10:33
  Oh, Lord.
• 10:34
  Now?
• 10:35
  Yeah Mine would be Glen Powell
• 10:39
  He's a cutie.
• 10:40
  He seems nice.
• 10:41
  Yes, he does.
• 10:41
  He seems like a down-to-earth kinda person.
• 10:43
  Yeah, he does.
• 10:45
  He's just so pretty.
• 10:46
  I don't know if there… I don't know.
• 10:48
  What do you think?
• 10:49
  What do I think?
• 10:50
  Yeah.
• 10:50
  Like- Do you feel like it's a trap?
• 10:53
  Yeah, I do feel like it's a trap.
• 10:54
  But not for me.
• 10:56
  Not for y- for me?
• 10:57
  No, I mean, I think, I think if I told you-
• 10:59
  Yeah
• 11:00
  mine, I think you would be like, "Oh my goodness."
• 11:03
  Like, "Oh, I don't look anything like her?"
• 11:06
  I mean, I don't know.
• 11:08
  I've already kinda gotten in trouble with this one before.
• 11:10
  Oh.
• 11:10
  Oh.
• 11:11
  Well,
• 11:11
  then- I already know who it is.
• 11:12
  Wait, no.
• 11:13
  There are a handful.
• 11:14
  Is it, uh, Sporty Spice?
• 11:16
  No.
• 11:17
  No, sorry, not Sporty Spice.
• 11:18
  Ginger Spice.
• 11:18
  No.
• 11:19
  Oh,
• 11:19
  no?
• 11:19
  Today.
• 11:20
  Not t- 30 years ago or however long ago.
• 11:22
  Jessica
• 11:22
  Alba?
• 11:23
  Today.
• 11:24
  She still looks pretty.
• 11:25
  She does.
• 11:26
  But I'm talking ab- uh, Tori Kelly.
• 11:29
  Oh, that's right.
• 11:30
  Okay, let me tell you what this man did.
• 11:32
  Is
• 11:32
  she the Christian singer?
• 11:33
  Yes, with the beautiful… Oh, maybe that's why I be
• 11:35
  trying to wear my hair curly.
• 11:40
  It's subconscious.
• 11:42
  Please love me.
• 11:43
  Um- So I
• 11:44
  curled
• 11:44
  my hair for you.
• 11:44
  I do love, I do love you.
• 11:45
  There was a thank you.
• 11:46
  He will choose you over Tori Kelly.
• 11:47
  That's right.
• 11:48
  I would choose you over Tori Kel-
• 11:51
  I don't know … Tori Kelly any day.
• 11:51
  She got a lot going for her.
• 11:52
  I
• 11:52
  would, I would- Yeah, she got a lot going for you
• 11:53
  to be honest with you, I probably wouldn't be able to
• 11:54
  blame you at the end of the day.
• 11:56
  I mean, I would blame you, but I, back in the back of my head,
• 11:58
  I would be like, "Yeah." Um-
• 12:00
  I get it.
• 12:02
  I would probably too… No, I'm just kidding.
• 12:03
  But maybe.
• 12:04
  Um, s- so what he did was there was a trend going around for a
• 12:09
  while that was, like, where you tell your husband, your boyfriend,
• 12:14
  whatever, you say, "Name any woman."
• 12:17
  And all these men their go-to, and it could be anybody.
• 12:22
  Like, I'm a woman sitting here telling you.
• 12:23
  You could put my, you could say my name.
• 12:25
  And man after man, they are calling up women from history.
• 12:29
  They'll be like, "I don't know. Rosa Parks?" And people they
• 12:33
  do, like, historical women.
• 12:34
  I said, "Mark, name a woman." And he was like, "Uh, I don't know." And I was like-
• 12:41
  You're the only woman, babe
• 12:42
  … "For real?" He didn't even say that.
• 12:44
  I went- Oh … he said, "I don't know." I said, "Any woman."
• 12:50
  And he was like, "Oh," and this went on for a while.
• 12:53
  And then he goes, "Oh, I got it.
• 12:55
  My girl, Tori Kelly." And I was like, "You've gotta be kidding me."
• 13:00
  My girl.
• 13:01
  My girl, Tori Kelly.
• 13:01
  So I'm like, "No, we wouldn't even say- Don't say … like Hillary
• 13:04
  Clinton or somebody like that."
• 13:06
  What if he had said Hillary Clinton?
• 13:06
  My girl, Hillary Clinton.
• 13:08
  That's fine 'cause that's a
• 13:10
  political- 'Cause
• 13:10
  it, 'cause it fits the prompt … that fits, that fits what you would expect.
• 13:12
  So he not only subverted the expectation.
• 13:18
  He's like, "My girl, Tori Kelly." It's like, who are you talking about?"
• 13:22
  Oh my gosh, really quick.
• 13:23
  So one time, I, my… So Alek and I and our friend, uh, Drozell, we were
• 13:28
  driving and I don't remember exactly where we were, but they had gotten
• 13:32
  on the topic of, uh, Blake Lively.
• 13:34
  Oh.
• 13:34
  And I, I think this was before, like, all of the Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni drama.
• 13:39
  Yeah.
• 13:39
  And they were talk- They were just swooning over her.
• 13:43
  And of course, like, I'm just hanging out in the backseat.
• 13:45
  Taylor Swift had just released Midnights- … like I'm jamming out to that.
• 13:49
  And, uh, oh, they were talking about Ryan Reynolds.
• 13:52
  Oh.
• 13:52
  And, like, how he's just got everything going, like his
• 13:55
  phone company and everything.
• 13:56
  And then Drozell goes, "And he's married to Blake Lively." And Alek
• 14:00
  goes, "Yeah." And Drozell turns back to me and he goes, "Shannan, you're
• 14:03
  great, too." And I'm like- You're great … it's kinda like what you said.
• 14:06
  You're like, I get it."
• 14:08
  Yeah.
• 14:08
  Yeah.
• 14:09
  I have a good personality.
• 14:11
  Honestly, if we had our personalities and we were that pretty-
• 14:15
  We would be unstoppable … it
• 14:16
  would be
• 14:17
  dangerous.
• 14:17
  God had to humble us.
• 14:18
  He did.
• 14:19
  But you are beautiful, so make no mistake.
• 14:21
  So are you.
• 14:21
  Make no mistake.
• 14:22
  We're all beautiful, and you're handsome, and this is great.
• 14:25
  Okay.
• 14:25
  All
• 14:25
  right.
• 14:25
  Thank you for indulging me.
• 14:27
  That was a-
• 14:29
  What an intro
• 14:30
  … I had high expectations, and we met them.
• 14:32
  Oh, good.
• 14:33
  Second question.
• 14:34
  Yeah.
• 14:34
  This is the high school bit.
• 14:36
  How many high school parties did you get invited to?
• 14:39
  I got invited to a whopping zero.
• 14:42
  I can remember one.
• 14:43
  One?
• 14:43
  And that was a birthday- Dinner, and then it was one of the…
• 14:50
  Like, I felt super cool though because it was- Okay … a birthday dinner
• 14:53
  where we all went out to Hot Springs.
• 14:56
  And then- Ooh … we did the whole thing where you go out in the
• 14:59
  middle of a field, and everybody puts their trucks in a circle-
• 15:03
  Oh … and you sit on the tailgate.
• 15:04
  And I had never, ever… This was, I was like, I think, a senior.
• 15:07
  Wow.
• 15:07
  And I was never invited to the parties.
• 15:09
  A, my parents would never have let me gone.
• 15:11
  B, I was simply too busy- Oh … involved in every single club-
• 15:15
  That's cool
• 15:16
  … thing, sport, church, whatever you could possibly do.
• 15:18
  I had zero free nights.
• 15:20
  Okay.
• 15:20
  But I was not getting invited anyway.
• 15:23
  But you knew everybody.
• 15:25
  Yeah, I was, like, tangentially popular.
• 15:28
  Okay.
• 15:28
  Like, there was the clique that was the, the it girls.
• 15:32
  Yeah.
• 15:32
  And I knew them.
• 15:33
  I was friends with them, but I was not one of.
• 15:35
  Okay.
• 15:35
  I see.
• 15:36
  Yeah.
• 15:37
  Yeah.
• 15:38
  What about you?
• 15:38
  Did you go to any high school parties?
• 15:41
  D- I mean, yeah, do birthday parties count?
• 15:43
  That's about- I wasn't, no- That's about, yeah
• 15:45
  I wouldn't
• 15:45
  count, like- Like a rager
• 15:45
  … like a rager Which, were they doing that?
• 15:47
  Out in Donaldson.
• 15:48
  Yeah.
• 15:48
  I, I mean, if, if they were, they didn't tell me.
• 15:51
  Yeah.
• 15:52
  So maybe that says something.
• 15:54
  Okay.
• 15:54
  But yeah out in, you know, Donaldson there wasn't really a lot of-
• 15:58
  Donaldson … a lot of that going on.
• 16:00
  Yeah, my graduating class was-
• 16:02
  about 26 people.
• 16:04
  So-
• 16:05
  What?
• 16:06
  Yeah.
• 16:06
  26? Yeah.
• 16:07
  How many was yours?
• 16:08
  Like, 600.
• 16:10
  Yeah, it was so easy.
• 16:11
  You could be invisible.
• 16:13
  It was easy, so easy to be
• 16:14
  invisible.
• 16:14
  Oh, yeah.
• 16:14
  I don't know … I got, I got, I got, uh, I did get valedictorian.
• 16:17
  You did?
• 16:18
  But I can't really brag about that 'cause it's just-
• 16:20
  Like, being … I
• 16:21
  only- What do you mean?
• 16:23
  The valedictorian- I only
• 16:24
  beat out like- … of your home
• 16:25
  school … 25 people.
• 16:26
  What was your ACT score?
• 16:26
  Oh, it's, it wasn't that good.
• 16:27
  Uh, the highest I ever got on that was 26.
• 16:29
  That's fine.
• 16:30
  But-
• 16:30
  What'd you
• 16:30
  get, Beth?
• 16:31
  31. What?
• 16:35
  What do you have to do to get the governor's scholarship?
• 16:36
  I don't know- 32 … 'cause I didn't get it
• 16:37
  I think I was like one point below.
• 16:39
  I took it a few times, like really trying to do it 'cause I wanted my schol- I
• 16:42
  wanted- Yeah … my school paid for it 'cause baby girl needed the dollars.
• 16:44
  And, um, I finally quit 'cause I was like, "You know, that's not
• 16:47
  gonna happen." You got a 30 then?
• 16:48
  And I was just shy of that.
• 16:49
  Oh my gosh.
• 16:49
  That's
• 16:50
  incredible.
• 16:50
  Thir- 30 or 31.
• 16:51
  I can't remember off the top of my head.
• 16:51
  How
• 16:51
  did you not get your school paid for?
• 16:53
  You say you didn't?
• 16:53
  I did.
• 16:54
  Okay.
• 16:55
  'Cause I'm gonna say out of 26, mine got paid for.
• 16:57
  Yeah, I did at the end of the
• 16:58
  day.
• 16:58
  Whoa.
• 16:58
  What school did you go to?
• 17:00
  Henderson.
• 17:01
  Oh, I should know that.
• 17:03
  What
• 17:04
  did you- Did you all meet… I don't know.
• 17:05
  I just feel like I should.
• 17:06
  We've been friends for like three years.
• 17:08
  I feel like I should know where we went to school.
• 17:10
  No, we met at, w- we were not in college at the same time,
• 17:13
  if that's what you were asking.
• 17:14
  That's right.
• 17:14
  Did we work at col- meet in college?
• 17:16
  I
• 17:16
  was about to ask that.
• 17:17
  We worked, uh, I had a summer job, and it was where he worked.
• 17:21
  Where was that?
• 17:21
  It
• 17:22
  was at a bank in the operations center.
• 17:23
  That's right.
• 17:24
  Okay.
• 17:24
  Perfect.
• 17:25
  Perfect.
• 17:26
  Yeah.
• 17:26
  Cool.
• 17:27
  So that was how we-
• 17:29
  Cute
• 17:29
  … came to be.
• 17:30
  Cute.
• 17:31
  Well, I got a 22 on my ACT.
• 17:33
  Yeah.
• 17:33
  I was the dumb, I was the dumb friend in high school.
• 17:35
  That's not dumb.
• 17:36
  It's not remedial, tell you that.
• 17:38
  Thank you for saying that.
• 17:39
  You didn't have to take developmental classes.
• 17:40
  I did not get my school paid for.
• 17:43
  Oh.
• 17:43
  But it's okay.
• 17:44
  All right.
• 17:44
  Well, that's what I brought to the club today, just some introspection.
• 17:47
  Yeah … you know, high school, what a time, and our crushes
• 17:51
  that didn't like us back.
• 17:53
  Okay, so Obsession.
• 17:55
  Let's set the scene really quickly here.
• 17:56
  So, you know, we talked about we don't really care about the,
• 18:00
  the director, although this guy, like, kinda came out of nowhere.
• 18:03
  This was like an indie film.
• 18:05
  Yeah, I think he's a YouTuber.
• 18:06
  That I think blew up.
• 18:06
  Yes, that's right.
• 18:07
  Yeah.
• 18:08
  Yeah.
• 18:08
  He was, he had a, a pretty popular channel, uh, over, I think
• 18:12
  it's called That's a Bad Idea.
• 18:14
  Okay.
• 18:14
  Uh, I was actually very familiar with it.
• 18:16
  Oh, okay.
• 18:16
  Like I said, I had seen a lot of them.
• 18:17
  And so- … whenever they released this movie, I, I wasn't surprised at all that,
• 18:21
  that it was well done because his YouTube videos were just always very well done.
• 18:25
  Okay.
• 18:25
  Okay.
• 18:26
  I hope he makes more movies.
• 18:28
  I think- A-
• 18:28
  absolutely
• 18:29
  you can see where there might be a a sequel.
• 18:30
  Yeah.
• 18:31
  Anyway, so, the main character, Bear or Barron he, first of all, he loses his cat,
• 18:38
  and it's just the most dramatic thing.
• 18:40
  Um, he is a part of this friend group.
• 18:43
  There's two guys, Barron, Ian- Mm-hmm … is that the dude's name?
• 18:47
  And then there is Sara and Katie.
• 18:50
  No.
• 18:50
  Nikki.
• 18:50
  Nikki.
• 18:51
  I don't know where Katie came from.
• 18:52
  They're a friend group.
• 18:53
  Bear likes Katie.
• 18:55
  Katie is obviously trying to friend zone him.
• 18:57
  He is a
• 19:01
  Just, I'm just gonna start- So ready … and say he's a pathetic dude.
• 19:03
  He is.
• 19:04
  He sucks- Like- … so bad.
• 19:05
  Yeah, gosh.
• 19:05
  Um, he makes a wish that she'll fall in love with him, and even with warnings,
• 19:10
  he does it anyway, and things just turn so badly so quickly, and it
• 19:16
  just ramps up right from the get-go.
• 19:19
  It is just a, the worst car accident that you cannot turn away
• 19:22
  from, and let's talk about it.
• 19:25
  I mean, I really, wh- when this movie ended, I looked at Beth and
• 19:28
  I was like, "We can't- … we can't talk about this-" Yeah … "yet."
• 19:31
  I thought this movie was fantastic.
• 19:33
  I truly loved it.
• 19:35
  Um- Although that was the fakest looking cat I've ever seen.
• 19:41
  I remember- Yes … like asking like, "What is that? What is that on the floor?"
• 19:45
  Yeah, I couldn't tell what it was until he had to say, "The cat died." 'Cause it
• 19:49
  looked like… And then I was like, oh.
• 19:52
  Now, the budget was small for this movie.
• 19:54
  Yes, it was.
• 19:54
  It was very small.
• 19:54
  And, yeah, they definitely saved some skrilla on the cat.
• 19:58
  Because it looked like they had gotten that thing from
• 19:59
  Toys R Us or I don't even know.
• 20:01
  That was a Goodwill.
• 20:02
  That
• 20:02
  was like a donated- Yeah … stuffed animal.
• 20:04
  Yeah.
• 20:04
  That was a well-loved stuffy from somebody.
• 20:08
  I don't know.
• 20:08
  You're right.
• 20:09
  Um, so first, yeah, like this, this cat got into some medication.
• 20:13
  Yeah.
• 20:13
  And I thought that was weird.
• 20:15
  I guess it was just like laying out for the cat to get.
• 20:18
  'Cause he was like, "How did you get this?" But it was his grandmother's old
• 20:23
  medication- Yeah … 'cause it was her, it was her house- I think so … that he
• 20:25
  was staying with her, taking care of her.
• 20:27
  And then she had like recently died-
• 20:30
  Yeah
• 20:30
  … or something- Mm-hmm
• 20:31
  and like left the house.
• 20:32
  Yeah, it was like a bunch of like hydros, which I thought was interesting.
• 20:36
  So yeah, I said that was red flag number one because he had…
• 20:40
  Well, and I guess that makes sense if it was his grandma's pills.
• 20:42
  I was like, is, are these his pills?
• 20:44
  Are like we stalk- I mean, that cabinet was full.
• 20:46
  Yeah.
• 20:47
  I assumed that they were his grandmother's pills because they had mentioned
• 20:51
  that she had just died not long ago.
• 20:54
  Yeah.
• 20:54
  And I just thought an older person probably has a lot of medicine.
• 20:57
  That's our future.
• 21:00
  Sadly.
• 21:00
  Yeah.
• 21:01
  Oh.
• 21:02
  Um, and so, you know, then they go out, and at first I thought, like
• 21:07
  this friend group is like very…
• 21:09
  Well, I guess it starts out with like a toxic friend group, right?
• 21:11
  Because Ian is like
• 21:13
  a piece of garbage from the get-go.
• 21:15
  He's terrible.
• 21:16
  And then later on you find out, like it gets even worse- Mm-hmm … how
• 21:20
  awful of a friend he is.
• 21:22
  Yeah.
• 21:23
  And the girl at the beginning, when they were at… Well, first of all,
• 21:27
  his friend, right, is trying to tell him, you basically cannot ask her out-
• 21:30
  Yeah
• 21:31
  because it's inconvenient for me for you to do it at trivia night.
• 21:34
  And like, are you even that good at trivia?
• 21:36
  Obviously not.
• 21:37
  They were not paying attention.
• 21:38
  They were just drinking.
• 21:39
  But we found out later, probably wasn't because of the trivia that
• 21:42
  he was telling him not to do that.
• 21:44
  And then the other girl, she was just there.
• 21:47
  There was nothing wrong with her.
• 21:48
  She was the only bearable-
• 21:50
  Yeah
• 21:50
  … character.
• 21:51
  But I thought, why is he obsessed with this Nikki girl, because
• 21:54
  she's actually- Not that great.
• 21:57
  No, she was a child.
• 21:59
  She was mean.
• 22:00
  Yeah, and so annoying.
• 22:01
  Yeah.
• 22:02
  But also it just… once you get to know, like once you watch him.
• 22:05
  'Cause I guess it starts out and you're like, "Okay, like, he's
• 22:08
  just, he's just a little off sync.
• 22:10
  Like his cat just died.
• 22:11
  Obviously his cat was like his bestie." I mean, after our dog died, I grieved,
• 22:16
  and grieved, and grieved for like months.
• 22:18
  Yes.
• 22:18
  So I'll give him that.
• 22:20
  But I- what also made me judge him was him getting a pina colada at the bar.
• 22:26
  I literally… Like, okay, so Beth and I were trying to take
• 22:28
  notes in this dark theater.
• 22:30
  Yeah.
• 22:30
  And that was like so hard.
• 22:32
  And so I've, I like wrote like all over my paper.
• 22:35
  I was like, "He would be a pina colada guy."
• 22:39
  Yeah, this young man- Was just- I don't know what kind of girl… I mean, that
• 22:44
  Sarah girl liked him too, but why?
• 22:47
  I don't know.
• 22:48
  I don't know what redeemable qualities he had.
• 22:50
  I get why Nikki and Ian were a thing, because I'm sure it
• 22:55
  was just purely a physical-
• 22:57
  Right
• 22:57
  an itch needs to be scratched.
• 22:58
  You're a person- Yeah … guess who is willing to do this- Right … with me.
• 23:01
  But-
• 23:06
  To actually like any of those people except for Sarah
• 23:10
  … poor, and like- I don't get it … she had, she had the most brutal-
• 23:14
  Whoa, yeah.
• 23:16
  That, literally- Ah … that scene, so I guess do we wanna talk about that
• 23:22
  now or like do more of the, the… I guess we can save that for later maybe.
• 23:27
  Yeah, maybe 'cause we have not even, the wish hasn't even been made yet- Yeah
• 23:30
  and I do not like
• 23:31
  anybody in the movie.
• 23:32
  Oh, yeah, in, in the store that he c- got the wish from.
• 23:34
  Yeah.
• 23:35
  Yeah, so he- Yeah … goes to the store.
• 23:36
  He's like looking for a crystal because Nikki lost her crystal,
• 23:40
  and like he gets one, and then it, like I thought it was kind of a,
• 23:44
  a, what's the word I'm looking for?
• 23:46
  Like, I would have been offended if I knew that he like was looking for
• 23:49
  a crystal for me and someone said, "Oh, it like emulates like sunshine."
• 23:53
  And he's like, "Oh, nope,
• 23:55
  that's not her." Yeah.
• 23:55
  You're like,
• 23:55
  " Oh, that's not her." They're like, "What is she to you?"
• 23:57
  So then he finds this weird-
• 23:58
  I mean, he wasn't wrong as it turns out.
• 24:01
  Yeah.
• 24:02
  But he doesn't even know, and that's the sad thing.
• 24:06
  So then he finds this one wish willow, which I had never…
• 24:09
  Is that like an actual thing?
• 24:11
  I don't think so.
• 24:12
  I don't think so.
• 24:12
  That's good.
• 24:13
  I think they, yeah, I think they just made that up.
• 24:14
  It should be now.
• 24:15
  You could probably sell a ton of them now.
• 24:16
  Oh, yeah, Spencer's will be, and Hot Topic will be sell- selling them.
• 24:20
  Is Spencer's still a thing?
• 24:22
  I don't know.
• 24:22
  I don't think I've ever been in one.
• 24:25
  I don't think I was allowed to, and so I was just always a full- Well, yeah.
• 24:28
  Yeah.
• 24:29
  Yeah.
• 24:29
  Yeah, you do see some things in there.
• 24:30
  I've only been in the front section, and then, you know, there's the back where
• 24:33
  they have like the really bad stuff.
• 24:34
  Okay.
• 24:34
  Yeah.
• 24:34
  Oh, I didn't even know about that.
• 24:36
  Oh,
• 24:36
  look at us.
• 24:36
  We're still
• 24:37
  kids.
• 24:37
  I'm talking about, I'm talking about the, I mean, there's stuff in the
• 24:39
  front of the store that's- There is stuff in the front, but I think-
• 24:40
  it's like, ooh … toward the
• 24:41
  back there's like more.
• 24:44
  Oh, okay, 'cause yeah- … you walk in there, you'll, you'll see some stuff.
• 24:47
  You'll go kind, "Eh, it's, I don't know if, uh, wanna be in here."
• 24:49
  It's real.
• 24:50
  Wait,
• 24:51
  you can really buy one?
• 24:52
  The magic willow?
• 24:52
  You can get three for $10 at Walmart.
• 24:55
  What?
• 24:57
  At Walmart.
• 24:58
  Do they come with a warning?
• 25:02
  Let's look at the list again.
• 25:02
  Is it edible?
• 25:03
  Is it like a candy version?
• 25:04
  Ugh.
• 25:05
  One Wish Willow Wish Making Snap Stick.
• 25:07
  Fun party novelty gift.
• 25:09
  Ancient legend replica for all ages.
• 25:12
  Oh.
• 25:14
  Okay, let's-
• 25:14
  Okay, well now I'm kinda wondering was that because of the movie or
• 25:17
  did that exist before the movie?
• 25:18
  I don't know, but I want one.
• 25:20
  Well, what, does it, does it look like what it looked like in the movie?
• 25:22
  No, not qui- Well, I don't know.
• 25:25
  That movie was so dark.
• 25:26
  So is this like today's pet rock where it's someone selling sticks?
• 25:30
  And just say you break a stick and- Oh … make a wish.
• 25:34
  Maybe it is.
• 25:35
  Did it look like that in the movie?
• 25:37
  Yeah.
• 25:38
  Yeah, it did.
• 25:39
  Okay.
• 25:39
  Let's see.
• 25:40
  I don't think it has the little thing that plays music when you pull it out the box.
• 25:43
  That mu- that music was really creepy too.
• 25:47
  Like that it plays whenever he like pulls it out.
• 25:49
  Mm-hmm.
• 25:49
  And how much is it just for three of them?
• 25:51
  She said $10.
• 25:51
  $10.
• 25:52
  That's a bargain.
• 25:53
  Yeah.
• 25:54
  We should get it and do it on-
• 25:56
  Well, there are three of us.
• 25:57
  Yeah.
• 25:57
  Ooh.
• 25:57
  We should each wish for something.
• 25:59
  What would you wish for?
• 26:01
  I mean-
• 26:01
  I guess it's not like something where you can't be like, "Oh, don't
• 26:03
  tell me 'cause it won't come true."
• 26:04
  Right, you gotta say it out loud.
• 26:06
  But I don't know because it's gonna go wrong no matter what you wish for.
• 26:10
  Well, I don't know.
• 26:10
  That one guy, I mean, he wished for a billion dollars
• 26:12
  and just fell out the ceiling.
• 26:13
  Oh yeah, and then he got shot in the face like shortly afterwards.
• 26:15
  Okay, but that wasn't because of the billion dollars.
• 26:18
  I think it just didn't have time to go bad because when I was watching it, have y'all
• 26:24
  ever read the story The Monkey's Paw?
• 26:26
  No.
• 26:27
  So I was like this reminds me of that.
• 26:30
  When you make a wish it goes poorly.
• 26:33
  Like you get what you want, but like a be careful what you wish for kinda thing.
• 26:35
  Okay.
• 26:36
  And I was looking up the movie.
• 26:38
  This guy got the idea for the story watching a Simpsons episode
• 26:42
  that was based off of that story.
• 26:43
  So in that- Oh, okay … it's a short story, and I used to teach it to my
• 26:47
  students around every October time, and they were very disturbed by it.
• 26:50
  It was a always a good time.
• 26:52
  So this, pe- these people, they get a monkey's paw.
• 26:56
  They come by it somehow, I can't remember how, maybe at a dinner
• 26:58
  party or whatever, and the family, or the man and the wife, they wish for
• 27:03
  money, like a certain amount of money.
• 27:06
  And then they get a call that their son has been killed in a factory
• 27:13
  accident, and the company pays them that exact money in compensation.
• 27:17
  And so it's like, oh, this is what you traded to get your wish, essentially.
• 27:21
  Nice.
• 27:21
  So you got what you wanted- … but at what cost?
• 27:24
  And so then you get three wishes on the monkey's paw.
• 27:27
  So the wife grabs it and is like, "I wish for my son back."
• 27:30
  And so the dad is terrified that he's gonna come back, 'cause he was,
• 27:35
  like, caught in factory equipment.
• 27:36
  Oh.
• 27:36
  He was like, "He's gonna come back as he was, like, mangled. He's not
• 27:39
  gonna be our son that we knew."
• 27:41
  Oh.
• 27:41
  In the middle of the night- Gosh … there's banging starts at their door.
• 27:45
  And she goes to start opening the door, and the very last second he
• 27:49
  grabs the monkey's paw and he wishes for whatever's at the door to go away-
• 27:52
  Oh
• 27:52
  right before she opens the door, 'cause he's trying to save her from that.
• 27:55
  Yeah.
• 27:56
  And that's how the story ends.
• 27:57
  But it's like-
• 27:58
  That's heartbreaking,
• 27:58
  though … you, you get what you want.
• 27:59
  That is so
• 28:00
  scary.
• 28:00
  Yeah.
• 28:01
  But what would have happened?
• 28:02
  'Cause all that money just fell out of the sky.
• 28:03
  But, like- Yeah … would the police have then shown up and been like,
• 28:06
  "How'd you get all this money?"
• 28:07
  Yeah.
• 28:07
  I
• 28:08
  don't
• 28:08
  know.
• 28:08
  That is very eerie.
• 28:09
  Is… Okay, so that's not like, that's not like Stephen King's The Monkey,
• 28:14
  'cause I think that's a horror movie.
• 28:15
  I don't think I know that story.
• 28:16
  I don't know it either, but it's like a, it's like a newer movie.
• 28:19
  It looks… I think I've talked to you about it.
• 28:21
  I'm, like, intrigued about it- Mm-hmm … but it looks so gory,
• 28:23
  I don't know if I could handle it.
• 28:25
  Is that the one where there's the monkey up in the closet, the little
• 28:27
  one that- Yes … has the cymbals over- Yeah … the image, I recall,
• 28:31
  but I don't remember anything about-
• 28:32
  Okay … the movie So prob- so possibly not.
• 28:34
  I thought it was interesting, too, though, like the snapping of the twig.
• 28:37
  Have y'all seen Weapons?
• 28:39
  Yes.
• 28:39
  Oh,
• 28:40
  yeah.
• 28:40
  It reminded me of that.
• 28:41
  It kind of- which I like that movie.
• 28:43
  That was good.
• 28:43
  So yeah, so he wishes, he makes this wish.
• 28:45
  He, well, first of all, he, like… I guess his one redeemable quality is that
• 28:50
  he did not, at the start, take advantage of Nikki, because she was, I think,
• 28:56
  right, because he, like, took her home, and I think she was a little tipsy.
• 29:00
  And at first… So he makes the wish, then she's, like, trying to get him to
• 29:04
  come inside and he's like, "No, no, no."
• 29:06
  So for a second I'm like, okay.
• 29:08
  Is that because he's a good guy or because he's weak?
• 29:11
  Probably because he's weak.
• 29:12
  Because- Because she straight up opened the door for that conversation.
• 29:16
  She said he was sitting there thinking, "How am I gonna tell her? I'm scared. Ah."
• 29:21
  Yeah.
• 29:21
  And then she's like, "If you like me, you better tell me.
• 29:23
  You should just tell me now." And he's like, "No, I don't know what
• 29:27
  I'm talking about." We're friends.
• 29:28
  And then, so instead of just saying,
• 29:30
  " Yeah,
• 29:30
  I do like you," he chooses to make this dumb wish- Yeah
• 29:34
  and ruin everybody's life because he's a weak little pansy boy.
• 29:38
  Yeah.
• 29:38
  And he just did it so quick.
• 29:40
  I
• 29:40
  can't stand this character.
• 29:40
  No, he was terrible.
• 29:41
  He was terrible.
• 29:41
  He was awful.
• 29:43
  And he just, like, wasn't that attractive either.
• 29:45
  I'm sorry.
• 29:46
  I'm
• 29:46
  just gonna say it.
• 29:46
  Nothing.
• 29:46
  Yeah.
• 29:46
  No good qualities- No … this, this boy.
• 29:48
  And, like, the ugly sweaters that he wore, I hated that.
• 29:51
  What even was… And did you see how dirty his socks were in the bed?
• 29:54
  I made a note of that.
• 29:56
  I literally made a note of that.
• 29:58
  It- I said, "His dirty white socks."
• 30:00
  Did you walk through the litter box, young man?
• 30:04
  Probably.
• 30:04
  Okay, can we talk about, though, for a second, too, like the mask that
• 30:09
  he had on his face when he was, like cleaning up the cat, like the dead cat.
• 30:13
  Yeah.
• 30:13
  He had like a gas mask on.
• 30:16
  Did he really?
• 30:17
  And I'm like-
• 30:18
  I didn't notice
• 30:18
  that … what is this about?
• 30:19
  Like, just, I mean, it's bleach.
• 30:21
  It has a smell, but you don't need this mask.
• 30:24
  I'm telling you, he's a weak man.
• 30:26
  That was really- If
• 30:26
  you can't wipe up some cat pee-
• 30:27
  I don't even remember.
• 30:28
  It's just like…
• 30:28
  Maybe it was like a respirator maybe.
• 30:30
  May- maybe he has asthma.
• 30:32
  Maybe.
• 30:32
  Did he have asthma?
• 30:33
  I don't…
• 30:34
  I'm just, I'm trying to give this boy the benefit of the doubt.
• 30:35
  Are we getting, we getting… Oh, okay.
• 30:35
  I didn't know if we were getting science contentious.
• 30:37
  I'm trying to not be- Oh, baby … so disrespectful about this fictional
• 30:41
  character, but I have nothing good to say.
• 30:43
  That's okay.
• 30:44
  So I'm trying to give him the benefit of the doubt.
• 30:45
  I mean, there's not much.
• 30:46
  No.
• 30:47
  There's really not much.
• 30:47
  He's bad.
• 30:48
  Anyway, so as soon as he makes that wish, you know, like I loved how
• 30:51
  they used like the silhouettes-
• 30:53
  Mm-hmm
• 30:54
  … in this movie, because you can just see her standing there, like on her porch, and
• 31:00
  then she walks up and just immediately…
• 31:03
  And it's weird, 'cause you can like tell that there's like… So I watched
• 31:06
  a commentary where there's like the real Nicky, and then there's freaky Nicky.
• 31:10
  Yeah.
• 31:10
  And like freaky Nicky is like who this Nicky is now after he's made this wish,
• 31:14
  and you can tell there's like that inward struggle between like the two entities.
• 31:19
  Like they're almost like two people in one.
• 31:20
  And like the first like really good jump scare for me was whenever…
• 31:25
  So like he makes this wish.
• 31:26
  She comes home with him, because she's like, "My dad's like sick, and I'm
• 31:29
  just really upset about it." And, um, then they start making out, and then
• 31:34
  she like freaks out out of nowhere.
• 31:36
  Yeah.
• 31:37
  That scared me so bad, and it's, like that's the first time that
• 31:41
  you're like, "Okay, like this is, this is not consensual."
• 31:46
  Yeah.
• 31:47
  And it just gets so much worse from there, and there's just
• 31:51
  like that, that inward struggle.
• 31:54
  And I think, isn't it like the next day he's like… Oh, no,
• 31:57
  maybe, when is it that he's like, "No more weird stuff, okay"?
• 32:02
  I think it was that, because wasn't that the night that she was in the corner?
• 32:06
  He woke up and she was in the corner.
• 32:07
  Oh, maybe.
• 32:08
  And I'm getting chills just thinking about that.
• 32:10
  That,
• 32:10
  yes.
• 32:10
  That
• 32:11
  was creepy.
• 32:11
  That was creepy.
• 32:11
  That
• 32:12
  was so
• 32:12
  creepy.
• 32:12
  And
• 32:13
  like how her face like distorts a little bit.
• 32:15
  The makeup was so cool.
• 32:17
  Yeah.
• 32:18
  I've seen people do it the they'll do a version of it.
• 32:20
  So they'll kinda draw their mouth out, and then you dim the light,
• 32:23
  and your whole- Ooh … you know, just the power of makeup.
• 32:26
  I just like that.
• 32:26
  It was so creepy.
• 32:27
  Yeah.
• 32:27
  Plus the way she was moving.
• 32:29
  Yeah.
• 32:29
  And that was just her.
• 32:30
  That wasn't any-
• 32:31
  Yeah
• 32:31
  like
• 32:32
  CG or anything like that.
• 32:33
  But that's also like that like Nicky and freaky Nicky are like battling each other.
• 32:39
  Yeah.
• 32:40
  Mm. And she comes out of it just a couple of times in there really quick, but
• 32:44
  she's like, "It's not me. It's not me."
• 32:45
  Yeah.
• 32:46
  Yeah.
• 32:46
  Like when she smashed the bottle in her face and the, The pictures-
• 32:50
  Yes
• 32:50
  that she gave him, there was one of just him, and he was looking through them la-
• 32:55
  or maybe it was on the couch the next day.
• 32:57
  I think it's, like, whenever she packed his lunch.
• 33:00
  There was that, or maybe it was both the times, but there
• 33:03
  was one of the two of them.
• 33:04
  There was one of just him, and it had his name on it, and then there
• 33:07
  was the next one was the one of the two of them together, and on
• 33:10
  it, under her, it said, "Not me."
• 33:12
  Yeah.
• 33:13
  I did not catch that.
• 33:14
  Yeah.
• 33:14
  Yeah.
• 33:15
  I had to watch a commentary on it to catch that, 'cause at first I didn't.
• 33:19
  ' Cause I caught it in the middle of the movie, and I was like, "What?" 'Cause
• 33:22
  i- they don't explicitly ex- and I was like- Yeah … is she it's not fully…
• 33:27
  I thought maybe it takes a while for it to fully take control of her.
• 33:30
  I was like, is she coming in and out of it?
• 33:32
  It doesn't have full power over her yet or something, and then it's turned
• 33:36
  out she was there the whole time.
• 33:38
  Yeah.
• 33:38
  She just, there were small openings for the real her to come out, which
• 33:43
  honestly was more upsetting and saddening- Yeah … because it's not
• 33:49
  like she wasn't there anymore, completely unaware of the surrounding- Right
• 33:52
  which I think is different than a lot of the ways that people do a love wish.
• 33:56
  Like, oh, that just completely changes their want for you.
• 34:00
  Like, no, she did not want this.
• 34:02
  Right.
• 34:02
  She wanted to die.
• 34:04
  Yeah.
• 34:04
  Yes.
• 34:04
  That's true.
• 34:05
  And how embarrassing someone would rather die than be with you.
• 34:07
  Well, and then he's "Is this real?
• 34:10
  What's so bad wi- about being with me?" I'm like, "You deserve everything that
• 34:14
  is coming to you, my friend." Yeah.
• 34:16
  That, I just, I hated him so much, and it's like he had, he… It's
• 34:21
  like one scene he would be… And I'm not, like, dogging the movie at all.
• 34:25
  Like, it was fantastic, but, like, he was just like one scene he was
• 34:28
  like, "I just don't know what to do.
• 34:30
  Like, she's crazy." And then flash forward and they're having a good time.
• 34:33
  They're doing some laundry together.
• 34:35
  Oh.
• 34:35
  You know what I mean?
• 34:36
  Yeah.
• 34:36
  And I'm like, bro, you know that something… Like, how are you
• 34:40
  still- Mm-hmm … involved in this?
• 34:42
  Another thing that, like, made my skin crawl, and I think it's, like, whenever
• 34:45
  he's like, "Hey, Nikki, no more weird stuff," and then he turns to leave,
• 34:49
  and she has duct-taped the inside- Yes
• 34:53
  of his door shut so that, like, he can't leave, and he just-
• 34:56
  He just tries to casually open it.
• 34:59
  He's like, "Okay."
• 34:59
  He, like, puts his leg, like, on the doorframe- … and just yanks it.
• 35:04
  But no more ne- no more weird stuff.
• 35:07
  Yeah, and also- Okay, your girlfriend, you have to have a whole
• 35:12
  conversation about your girlfriend.
• 35:14
  Hey, Nicky, no more weird stuff.
• 35:16
  Yeah.
• 35:16
  'Cause you're acting like a-
• 35:17
  A psycho
• 35:17
  … lunatic.
• 35:18
  Yeah.
• 35:19
  She packs you lunch.
• 35:20
  Oh.
• 35:21
  And you get this gray mystery meat, and you got no questions.
• 35:26
  No questions.
• 35:28
  You're just eating it blindly.
• 35:28
  And I think, like, Sarah even is like, "What is that smell?"
• 35:32
  Yeah, it's like, "What's that?"
• 35:32
  Like, "That smells awful." And then, like, as soon as he started eating it… Oh,
• 35:37
  maybe it was, like, when he got that note.
• 35:39
  Yes.
• 35:39
  ' Cause, like, he's like, "Oh, I wanna be a food critic." Okay, bro.
• 35:43
  Basically- Get over it … 'cause so he could get free food.
• 35:46
  You freaking freeloader.
• 35:47
  You have no discernible skills in life.
• 35:49
  Yeah, you're working at a music store.
• 35:50
  Oh, that makes sense, 'cause he's, he's wanting to freeload food, and
• 35:53
  he's also wanting to freeload love.
• 35:54
  I guess so.
• 35:55
  He's a freeloader.
• 35:55
  He wants everything to come easy.
• 35:56
  Microwave society.
• 35:58
  Yeah, here we go.
• 35:58
  This is the problem, kids.
• 35:59
  The problem with the with
• 36:01
  the- This is why-
• 36:02
  You gotta, you gotta earn
• 36:02
  it
• 36:03
  America.
• 36:03
  This is why participation trophies are bad.
• 36:05
  Oh, except for mine.
• 36:09
  Moving on.
• 36:11
  Yeah, that was insane.
• 36:13
  And then can we just talk about… Okay, so what is happening with Nicky?
• 36:18
  So whenever he leaves to go to work, and she just stands there, right?
• 36:20
  And she pees herself, which how… I felt really sad for her whenever that happened.
• 36:25
  Yeah.
• 36:25
  But then, like, she, he comes back and she's wet.
• 36:29
  All, all over?
• 36:29
  All over.
• 36:31
  Was she sweating?
• 36:32
  Well, she had thrown up too.
• 36:33
  So
• 36:33
  that's what it was.
• 36:34
  She had thrown up?
• 36:35
  Yeah, she was like, she it looked like she had, like, every
• 36:38
  possible problem you could have.
• 36:42
  While he was gone.
• 36:43
  She had had, 'cause she couldn't move.
• 36:45
  Yeah.
• 36:46
  And I don't know why she would've thrown up, but she did have, like, a
• 36:49
  discoloration on the front of her shirt.
• 36:51
  Yeah.
• 36:51
  And I assumed that she threw up too.
• 36:53
  She- Well, didn't she have some on her chin?
• 36:54
  She might… Yeah.
• 36:55
  She had stuff- She had stuff on her face too, so- … so … I don't know
• 36:57
  if she tried to make herself or…
• 37:01
  'Cause you know, sometimes I don't know, but, like, sometimes people who are in
• 37:05
  abusive situations will try to, like, make themselves unappealing to a person.
• 37:10
  Oh.
• 37:10
  So that sometimes you'll see, like- Right … bedwetting or whatever like that.
• 37:14
  So I don't know, maybe her on the inside was like, "Well, I can't move, so
• 37:18
  I'll just make myself be super gross."
• 37:20
  Oh, maybe.
• 37:20
  I don't know.
• 37:21
  Maybe.
• 37:22
  'Cause she, like, throws up a couple of times.
• 37:24
  Mm-hmm.
• 37:24
  And, like, towards the end of the movie, I thought she looks like
• 37:26
  she's, like, literally rotting.
• 37:29
  Yeah, she
• 37:30
  was- Like, she, like, looked gray
• 37:31
  … gaunt.
• 37:32
  She looked really bad.
• 37:33
  Yeah.
• 37:33
  So I wonder what that's all about.
• 37:35
  Yeah.
• 37:36
  I also thought it was super eerie, like, whenever he makes that phone
• 37:39
  call, like he looks at the number on the back of the box, and he's, like,
• 37:43
  trying to undo it, which I don't know if you knew this, but that's the, when…
• 37:46
  Like, the guy on the phone-
• 37:48
  Director … is, is the director.
• 37:49
  Yeah.
• 37:49
  Oh, no, I didn't know that.
• 37:50
  So that was kind of like a cool little cameo.
• 37:52
  But he's like, "You could just die." Yeah.
• 37:55
  Like, just so nonchalant about it.
• 37:57
  Yeah.
• 37:57
  And then it was so creepy whenever he's like, "Well, Nikki's right
• 38:01
  here. Do you wanna talk to her?"
• 38:02
  And she's just screaming, and it's like that is, like, her… That's,
• 38:06
  like, her internal thoughts is just, like, is just this horror,
• 38:11
  screaming, like she's trapped.
• 38:12
  Mm-hmm.
• 38:12
  It's… It would be like a permanent sleep paralysis.
• 38:17
  Yeah.
• 38:17
  Kinda.
• 38:18
  But, like- But you're up and moving and you're talking, but like
• 38:21
  you can't do anything about it.
• 38:23
  Mm-hmm.
• 38:23
  Like, your body's not your own.
• 38:25
  You have your thoughts, but yeah, that would be so terrible.
• 38:28
  That's a, I, it's, I don't know if it's an unrealistic fear, but
• 38:32
  it's probably not going to happen.
• 38:33
  But it has always been a fear of mine to be in a situation where I
• 38:38
  cannot communicate and I know that something is about to hurt me.
• 38:42
  What's that, is it a Metallica video?
• 38:43
  One?
• 38:44
  Where the guy's like, where he's on the table, can't, and
• 38:47
  he's aware of everything, but they're about to operate on him.
• 38:50
  Oh.
• 38:52
  I have no idea.
• 38:54
  Is that,
• 38:55
  is that a Metallica video?
• 38:55
  As a Metallica fan, I have no idea.
• 38:55
  I mean, I
• 38:56
  never saw any of the music videos.
• 38:57
  Oh.
• 38:58
  Maybe that's not what's happening there.
• 38:59
  I just always thought that that's what it was.
• 39:00
  But like, I always have this, have had this thought in the back of my head
• 39:05
  of what would happen if I could not move, I couldn't speak, I couldn't
• 39:08
  blink, I couldn't communicate at all.
• 39:10
  And I know they're about to like- Cut you open … hack into me for something.
• 39:13
  Can I go on a quick little… Yeah.
• 39:16
  That just reminds me, okay, so whenever I worked at the GI lab, there was one day we
• 39:20
  were in a procedure and the CRNA was like, playing like, weird like, jazz music.
• 39:27
  'Cause like, you know, we listen to music all day, and he was
• 39:29
  talking about it, he's like, "Man, we need like, candles everywhere.
• 39:32
  You know, make this like a spa." And of course, like, patient's asleep, right?
• 39:36
  Yeah.
• 39:37
  And the physician that I was working with was like, going, "How's the pressure?"
• 39:41
  Like, he was like, massaging, you know?
• 39:44
  And the patient goes, "Me?" We were like, "Oh, no." And you see the CRNA
• 39:51
  just like, quickly like, drawing up his propofol and just like, pushing it.
• 39:56
  And we were like- Like,
• 39:56
  you were not supposed to hear that.
• 39:59
  Yes.
• 39:59
  Luckily, you know, he did, he did remember.
• 40:02
  Yeah.
• 40:02
  But
• 40:03
  I
• 40:03
  just will never forget that he goes- … "Who, me?"
• 40:08
  So funny.
• 40:08
  Oh.
• 40:08
  So in a way, he recognized your fear.
• 40:11
  I had written it down and I just think it was funny.
• 40:13
  We've already kinda gone past it, but so like, this is whenever Nikki was like,
• 40:17
  sitting in the corner watching him sleep.
• 40:19
  Yeah.
• 40:19
  And she goes, "I like watching you sleep." And I was like, "Which is
• 40:22
  worse, freaky Nikki or Edward Cullen?"
• 40:25
  Yeah, I don't know.
• 40:27
  That- That whole scene was so intense.
• 40:32
  Yeah.
• 40:32
  And that was, like, toward the beginning.
• 40:34
  And it only… It did not s- let up from there.
• 40:37
  It really didn't.
• 40:38
  Ever.
• 40:38
  That is, like… So I've seen this meme, which it…
• 40:42
  Like, I relate to it, so it's- it's so true.
• 40:44
  But it's, like, me waking up in the middle of the night, and you
• 40:47
  see, like, a, an outline of, like, a ghost figure standing there.
• 40:50
  And then the person's like, "Shh, don't wake the baby.
• 40:54
  Don't wake the baby." And then he's like, "Okay." And he, like, goes back to sleep.
• 40:56
  So it's like he'd rather, like, see a ghost standing overhead
• 40:58
  than- Than wake up a baby
• 40:59
  the baby waking up.
• 41:00
  Yeah.
• 41:01
  I'm like, I get that.
• 41:02
  But-
• 41:03
  Oh.
• 41:03
  Yeah, that.
• 41:04
  And, like, and then, like, whenever she… I don't remember exactly.
• 41:08
  It's, like, in the middle of the night, and, um, she's, like, holding this,
• 41:12
  like, the flowers in front of her face.
• 41:15
  Yeah.
• 41:15
  And she's just, like, holding it, and then she just goes, "For
• 41:17
  Sandy," which is the- the dead cat.
• 41:20
  Yeah.
• 41:20
  She was really obsessed with this cat.
• 41:21
  And I saw a couple of theories that were like, "Is she, like,
• 41:25
  the cat reincarnated?" And I thought that was interesting.
• 41:29
  She was really-
• 41:29
  She did have a lot to say about the cat.
• 41:31
  I mean, the cat kept coming up.
• 41:33
  The cat was a constant-
• 41:34
  Which was just weird
• 41:35
  … aspect
• 41:35
  here.
• 41:35
  That's interesting.
• 41:37
  Yeah.
• 41:37
  I don't know.
• 41:38
  Ian freaking died unceremoniously, and I was okay with that.
• 41:44
  I… Yeah, I thought it was pretty funny.
• 41:46
  I mean, at least it was quick.
• 41:48
  I would've been okay if it wasn't.
• 41:52
  Maybe wet socks?
• 41:53
  Wet socks perpetually- Ah, yes … for that man.
• 41:57
  Yes.
• 41:57
  Yes.
• 41:58
  I did love how he was like, "I wish for a billion dollars."
• 42:03
  I mean, that was- Honestly … I don't know if I would've ever thought of that
• 42:06
  Oh, that's one of the first things I would think of.
• 42:08
  Oh, really?
• 42:09
  Yeah.
• 42:09
  But your friend, you say you're, they're your friend, is on their knees
• 42:14
  in front of you- Yeah … "I just need you to help me fix this. You are the
• 42:18
  only person who can help me do this."
• 42:21
  Oh, like a billion dollars, and then you ruin everything.
• 42:23
  Yeah.
• 42:24
  Do you think-
• 42:26
  I think he thought it was fake.
• 42:27
  Well, yeah.
• 42:28
  But I wonder if he'd actually wished for… 'Cause what was it?
• 42:31
  He was, like, wishing that Nikki wouldn't love him anymore?
• 42:35
  I think- I think so.
• 42:37
  Yes.
• 42:38
  Yeah.
• 42:38
  I wonder how that would've backfired.
• 42:40
  I mean, I think every single one of these wishes backfire.
• 42:43
  Yeah.
• 42:44
  I think they would eventually.
• 42:46
  Yeah.
• 42:46
  Um-
• 42:46
  What I wanna, wanna see- Mm-hmm … is, which obviously you
• 42:50
  can't now, but she clearly wished for him to be in love with her.
• 42:56
  Yes.
• 42:56
  So what would that look like- Oh, we're about to have a Luna
• 42:58
  sighting … where you have two people who wished for each other.
• 43:03
  Mm-hmm.
• 43:04
  Like, what, what would that look like
• 43:05
  if we- Just obsession on both-
• 43:06
  Yeah, obsession on both ends
• 43:08
  sides.
• 43:08
  They would probably both just die and waste away, 'cause they
• 43:11
  couldn't get anything done.
• 43:13
  They would be homeless and, but happy I guess, 'cause they'd be together.
• 43:19
  Luna.
• 43:20
  Um, I don't know.
• 43:22
  ' Cause that was kinda crazy how that went down, how-
• 43:27
  It- … the timing and everything
• 43:28
  I thought that was excellent-
• 43:30
  Oh, yeah
• 43:30
  at first.
• 43:30
  Yeah.
• 43:31
  ' Cause… And I, yeah, like, the snap, and then you can see his whole face
• 43:35
  change, and I was like . But then I thought, "Well, would this be okay?"
• 43:44
  Um, probably not I mean, he would probably be miserable, which again- That's what he
• 43:49
  deserved … for me, I'm cool with that.
• 43:51
  He had it coming.
• 43:51
  But she would've never been freed.
• 43:52
  Oh yeah, 'cause he would've- Yeah … then also have been imprisoned in his own body.
• 43:55
  Yeah.
• 43:56
  But that's
• 43:56
  what he wanted.
• 43:57
  Yeah.
• 43:57
  Technically, yeah, he wanted to be with her.
• 43:59
  Well- but then he wanted away from her.
• 44:01
  Yeah And then he would've been stuck with her, the crazy version.
• 44:04
  Yeah.
• 44:04
  So deep down- But he- … he would've been miserable, and she would've been miserable
• 44:08
  But then outwardly they're just both-
• 44:10
  Obsessed with each other
• 44:12
  yeah.
• 44:13
  Wow.
• 44:14
  Interesting.
• 44:14
  I would like to know, if there is a sequel, I truly hope it is
• 44:17
  an immediate follow-up because-
• 44:19
  Right?
• 44:19
  What happened to her?
• 44:20
  … you, how do… Okay, young lady, you're on the couch, bodies at your feet.
• 44:26
  There's this young girl with her whole face just gone.
• 44:31
  Yeah, and she's naked.
• 44:33
  Yeah, she didn't have to do all of that.
• 44:35
  She really didn't.
• 44:35
  She's like, "I'll take care of the body."
• 44:37
  Yeah I don't know, on display in the kitchen.
• 44:40
  Like a weird shrine to her.
• 44:41
  Very weird.
• 44:43
  And then you have to what, call the police and say, "It was a toy."
• 44:48
  Yeah.
• 44:48
  " Hear me out." Hear me out.
• 44:50
  "This is what happened."
• 44:51
  But do you think that she, like, once she came out of it, do you
• 44:54
  think she would've remembered?
• 44:55
  Like, do you think she knew what she did?
• 44:58
  I think she watched, I think, I mean, I think she was forced,
• 45:00
  since she could see and hear and-
• 45:02
  Yeah
• 45:02
  … be a part of everything.
• 45:03
  I think she probably witnessed the whole thing, and how
• 45:05
  terrifying- Yeah … is that?
• 45:06
  She did, because when, before, right before he went to go visit Sarah
• 45:10
  in the park, and he was walking out the door, and she was like, "Bear."
• 45:14
  And she said, "Kill me." Yes.
• 45:15
  "Please kill me. It's asleep." So she knew when it was in control and when it wasn't.
• 45:19
  Yeah.
• 45:19
  She was basically, like, asking, "There's a window where you
• 45:23
  could put me out of my misery."
• 45:25
  " If you really cared about me, you could."
• 45:26
  Yeah.
• 45:27
  But he didn't.
• 45:28
  ' Cause he's a coward.
• 45:29
  And then he went, and he's the reason that Sarah never got to go to art school.
• 45:33
  Ugh, and how sad was that she got in?
• 45:35
  And I just think about her poor dad.
• 45:36
  Mm-hmm.
• 45:37
  He's gonna be so upset, like, whenever he figures out what happened to her.
• 45:40
  Yeah.
• 45:40
  That scene and… Oh.
• 45:42
  Everything's fine.
• 45:43
  Everything's fine.
• 45:45
  Remember, this, my house is not a recording studio, everybody Luna
• 45:48
  is just, she's running amuck.
• 45:49
  Oh, was that Luna?
• 45:50
  I imagine that was Luna.
• 45:52
  That scene in the car, I think it got- You knew it was coming.
• 45:57
  I did, yeah.
• 45:57
  I mean, you know it's going too well.
• 46:00
  Yeah.
• 46:01
  The conversation is too positive.
• 46:03
  Things, things are about to hit the fan.
• 46:04
  Oh, yeah.
• 46:06
  And you can guess what it was.
• 46:08
  Like, it… I think everybody was anticipating it, but when it happened,
• 46:11
  I think it still got the whole theater.
• 46:13
  I audibly screamed-
• 46:15
  Yeah
• 46:15
  … whenever it happened.
• 46:16
  Yeah.
• 46:16
  It hap- 'cause it's so fast.
• 46:18
  Yeah.
• 46:18
  I'm like, how did I know it was coming?
• 46:21
  And it-
• 46:21
  And it still got me.
• 46:22
  That is a good jump scare.
• 46:24
  Yeah, it is.
• 46:24
  Like, when you know it's coming, but it still gets you that bad.
• 46:27
  And I mean, it was just like, it was the whole thing and, like, the sound that-
• 46:31
  like, her poor face makes.
• 46:32
  That was
• 46:32
  brutal.
• 46:33
  And it's like, when it's, like, so obviously overkill-
• 46:37
  Yeah
• 46:37
  … like, she, she been dead probably f- second or third hit.
• 46:40
  Uh-huh.
• 46:41
  And then you just keep going.
• 46:43
  And then she's like, "Bear, this was your fault."
• 46:46
  Technically not wrong.
• 46:47
  Yeah.
• 46:47
  That's true.
• 46:48
  At first, I didn't like Sarah, and then of course, you know,
• 46:51
  she's like, she grew on me.
• 46:52
  And I can't tell you why I didn't like her.
• 46:53
  I think just because, like, the whole friend group I didn't like.
• 46:56
  Mm-hmm.
• 46:56
  But I really felt sad for her whenever that happened.
• 46:59
  Yeah.
• 47:00
  And then she's like, "You're gonna have to I need help, but then I'll
• 47:03
  take it from here," and then yeah, she just shows up in the house.
• 47:08
  And then, like, freaky Nikki does, like, that weird, like, ki- almost like a doll.
• 47:12
  She, like, looks like a doll, 'cause, like, her arms are kind of out.
• 47:15
  Yeah.
• 47:15
  Walk behind her.
• 47:16
  That was, that whole thing was so creepy.
• 47:19
  It was.
• 47:20
  I don't know how she moved like that.
• 47:22
  I don't wanna watch it again because that specific part
• 47:25
  because it was so freaky and that.
• 47:26
  Yeah.
• 47:27
  But I wanna watch it again to analyze it.
• 47:29
  I know.
• 47:29
  I really, if there is a two-hour or there, if there's, like, the director's
• 47:33
  cut, I think I do wanna see it.
• 47:34
  Yeah.
• 47:36
  I think I need more.
• 47:38
  Um.
• 47:38
  Uh, I do-
• 47:40
  Forgot anything
• 47:40
  … wonder how quickly you would die from taking all of those pain medications.
• 47:46
  I don't feel like it would've been that fast, but-
• 47:48
  I don't think they had time to digest, yeah-
• 47:49
  Movie magic
• 47:49
  even break
• 47:49
  down.
• 47:50
  That's okay.
• 47:50
  Yeah.
• 47:52
  But just, like- the guy's like, "Well, you can die, and that will break the curse."
• 47:58
  And then, yeah, that's what he did.
• 47:59
  Yeah.
• 48:00
  But- Did you also see… I don't remember.
• 48:02
  It m- it was either a note.
• 48:05
  I had written it down, and I don't even remember what part of the
• 48:07
  movie it is, because our notes, you know, they had to be so-
• 48:11
  At one point I looked over-
• 48:12
  So difficult
• 48:12
  I think,
• 48:13
  it cracked me up, because I think it was, like, when Sarah had just been killed,
• 48:16
  and I look over at you, and, like, I saw, like, your phone flashlight- … and
• 48:18
  you were just, like, scribbling away.
• 48:20
  Well, yeah, 'cause the phone light only stays on for, like, five seconds, and so
• 48:25
  I'm, like, trying to write as many words as I can with the little bit of light.
• 48:28
  'Cause I don't wanna blow up the whole theater with my flashlight coming on.
• 48:32
  Yeah.
• 48:32
  So poor Chris and Mark were sitting on either side of me,
• 48:35
  so I was, like, trying to be-
• 48:37
  Yeah
• 48:37
  … you know, inconspicuous about it, and I had literally just written, "I hope
• 48:42
  Sarah lives," and then- … s- she gone.
• 48:45
  Yikes.
• 48:45
  But there was a part earlier in the movie, I wrote down a note.
• 48:50
  It was either a note or on one of the pictures, where she had written, where
• 48:55
  Nikki had written, "I want to wear your skin as a sweater." Did anybody see that?
• 48:59
  I don't remember that.
• 49:00
  I don't remember seeing that.
• 49:01
  Whoa.
• 49:02
  Yeah.
• 49:02
  I think he had one of those dorky sweaters on maybe in a
• 49:04
  picture or something like that.
• 49:05
  I don't think… If I made that up, be scared of me,
• 49:08
  because I saw that somewhere.
• 49:10
  I don't remember what part, but it said, "I wanna wear your skin
• 49:14
  as a sc- as a sweater." Ooh.
• 49:15
  And we just glazed on right over that.
• 49:16
  We did.
• 49:17
  And he kept going back to her, and then he's like, "Is this
• 49:20
  real?" What is, what was the guy, the Texas Chainsaw Massacre guy?
• 49:24
  Leatherface?
• 49:24
  Leatherface?
• 49:25
  Yeah.
• 49:26
  That reminds me of Leatherface.
• 49:28
  eat like the, like the skin suit.
• 49:30
  You know, like he would kill somebody.
• 49:33
  Well, Leatherface did wear people's skin on their face-
• 49:35
  Yeah … but he didn't really talk.
• 49:37
  Well, did he not talk?
• 49:39
  No.
• 49:40
  You know he was real?
• 49:41
  Yes.
• 49:42
  I've seen his a piece of skin.
• 49:45
  You've seen it?
• 49:46
  Yeah.
• 49:46
  In person?
• 49:47
  Yeah.
• 49:48
  At the Zach Bagans-
• 49:50
  Museum?
• 49:50
  … museum.
• 49:50
  Oh my gosh, I need to go there.
• 49:52
  And the big I was gonna say cauldron, but like- That's what, that's
• 49:54
  what it is … vat, that, they, he would drain people's bodies into.
• 49:57
  What was it?
• 49:58
  Was it a lampshade?
• 49:59
  Was it the belt?
• 50:00
  So they had, I think, replica of the lampshade or whatever, but the skin
• 50:04
  was just like framed on the wall.
• 50:06
  Now it wasn't, it wasn't a piece, it wouldn't a victim, like-
• 50:08
  It wasn't?
• 50:09
  No.
• 50:09
  Oh.
• 50:10
  Oh.
• 50:10
  No, it was-
• 50:10
  Well now I'm disappointed
• 50:11
  … it was… Yeah, no, it was-
• 50:13
  How crazy is that?
• 50:14
  Oh, goodness.
• 50:14
  It
• 50:14
  wasn't- It was-
• 50:15
  … someone's actual skin?
• 50:15
  I want my money back.
• 50:15
  No, no, it was- Sorry.
• 50:18
  It was someone's actual skin.
• 50:20
  What?
• 50:21
  It just wasn't-
• 50:22
  One of his victims
• 50:23
  … one, one of his victims.
• 50:24
  It was- Well then-
• 50:24
  Who's just donating a big s- slab of their skin?
• 50:27
  I have no idea.
• 50:28
  If you donate your body to science, is that what they do with you?
• 50:30
  Yeah, they give you over to Zach Bagans.
• 50:32
  They sell you to Zach Bagans.
• 50:34
  I wouldn't be surprised.
• 50:35
  He's crazy.
• 50:36
  He has so much stuff that whole… It's worth the investment.
• 50:40
  Oh, I need to go.
• 50:41
  If you go to Las Vegas, go.
• 50:42
  I don't even know where that was going.
• 50:44
  Oh, Leatherfa- what I'm trying to figure out what movie you're talking about.
• 50:49
  Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
• 50:51
  Is that not what he's based off of?
• 50:53
  What is the guy's name though?
• 50:53
  He is.
• 50:54
  Ed, Ed Gein.
• 50:55
  Ed Gein.
• 50:56
  So he's based on that- Yeah … but the character in that movie
• 50:59
  doesn't s- really speak.
• 51:01
  Oh.
• 51:01
  He's, uh, not-
• 51:03
  Non-verbal?
• 51:03
  Yeah.
• 51:04
  He, I don't… Uh, he's not fully like developed appropriately.
• 51:08
  Oh.
• 51:09
  I guess I just thought that that was like who it was based off of.
• 51:11
  It is.
• 51:12
  Okay,
• 51:12
  great.
• 51:13
  So he did the same thing, so like Leatherface will like take people's
• 51:15
  face and then wear their face-
• 51:17
  Yeah
• 51:17
  … as his face.
• 51:18
  But I'm trying to f- like the, the connection of-
• 51:23
  Well, she said, "I wanna wear your skin as a sweater."
• 51:25
  Oh, that.
• 51:26
  I thought you meant like he was asking.
• 51:29
  Okay, I get it.
• 51:29
  I get it.
• 51:30
  Okay.
• 51:30
  I get it.
• 51:30
  We're all, it's coming around.
• 51:31
  I was like, I thought you meant he was asking like, "Do you love me?"
• 51:37
  or something.
• 51:37
  I thought it wa- Oh.
• 51:38
  I was like, "What?" I understand
• 51:38
  now.
• 51:38
  That was me.
• 51:39
  That was my misunderstanding.
• 51:40
  No, we're,
• 51:40
  We're good.
• 51:41
  That's hilarious.
• 51:42
  I don't remember that part.
• 51:43
  Yeah.
• 51:44
  I think because just the whole time I was like, like on, like covering- Yeah
• 51:50
  my, my mouth, like the whole time.
• 51:53
  Yeah.
• 51:54
  A- and I guess does anybody else have any like revelations from the movie before
• 51:58
  we talk about the dumbest decision?
• 52:00
  I don't think so.
• 52:02
  Oh, okay, yes, actually, one more thing.
• 52:03
  This is the last thing.
• 52:04
  The whole party, right, that they go to.
• 52:06
  Ooh, yeah.
• 52:07
  I, what a douche canoe Ian was to ask Bear, "Hey, can you give me a ride home?"
• 52:17
  But then not invite him to his party.
• 52:20
  Mm-hmm.
• 52:20
  That was the same night.
• 52:22
  What do you think- Yeah … was gonna happen, bro?
• 52:24
  And then be like, "Well, yeah, you can come. It's just a boys' night." And then
• 52:27
  there were definitely lots of girls there.
• 52:30
  Yeah.
• 52:30
  I did kind of laugh to myself though, like, whenever Nikki
• 52:34
  drags Sarah's chair back.
• 52:35
  Like, there… that part was actually kind of funny.
• 52:38
  Yeah.
• 52:38
  But then she goes crazy.
• 52:40
  Yeah.
• 52:40
  That poem she read.
• 52:43
  That w- like, yeah.
• 52:45
  Yowee-wowee.
• 52:47
  At
• 52:47
  the beginning.
• 52:47
  That was uncomfortable.
• 52:47
  She's like, "I'm gonna quit my job, and I'm gonna focus more on writing." And
• 52:52
  Bear's "No, I'm never gonna see you," and that's what she's been writing?
• 52:56
  Yeah.
• 52:57
  Or is that what Freaky Nikki wrote?
• 52:59
  Probably what Freaky Nikki wrote.
• 53:00
  I would like… I mean, maybe r- maybe just regular Nikki wrote regular stuff.
• 53:05
  Maybe.
• 53:05
  Not Hansel and Gretel,
• 53:06
  Like-
• 53:07
  … disturbing.
• 53:08
  Yeah, incestual.
• 53:09
  Yeah.
• 53:10
  Yeah.
• 53:10
  There was a lot to unpack at that, but-
• 53:12
  Yes
• 53:14
  … okay, so as we move into the discussion about the Dumbest Decision award,
• 53:18
  I would like to hear your thoughts, because I feel like the whole movie
• 53:23
  was, like, a series of dumb decisions.
• 53:25
  Yeah.
• 53:25
  I almost thought it would be easier to say, "Let's award the
• 53:29
  good decision." Ooh, I like that.
• 53:30
  But then I truly couldn't think of one.
• 53:32
  Ooh.
• 53:36
  I don't know.
• 53:36
  Do you have one that you, like, you thought was, like, the, a
• 53:38
  worse decision than the others?
• 53:42
  Obviously the wish itself was- Yeah … definitely a dumb decision.
• 53:48
  Yeah.
• 53:48
  ' Cause he, he could have, if she did like him, and she had that moment where she
• 53:53
  said, "If you like me, you need to tell me right now," and then he just, he didn't.
• 53:56
  And then he… The smart thing to have done there would be
• 54:00
  just tell her how he feels.
• 54:01
  Yeah.
• 54:02
  Instead of making a wish.
• 54:05
  As a guy, 'cause usually the men are the ones that like make the first
• 54:09
  move, I imagine that must be scary.
• 54:12
  Yeah.
• 54:13
  So do you give him- Of course … any kind of credit for being a wimp about it?
• 54:16
  Or like in that moment are you just supposed to man up and do it?
• 54:22
  Yeah, I mean, I absolutely relate to the fact that it is
• 54:25
  hard- Uh-huh … to do that.
• 54:26
  'Cause I mean, there, there's a lot going on, especially if someone that is a a
• 54:31
  friend, someone you hang out with- Yeah
• 54:33
  and then there's the chance that you're gonna make it weird, and then kinda cause,
• 54:38
  maybe a division in the friend group or something, or make things awkward.
• 54:41
  And so, yeah, I could have, I could definitely relate to the fact that
• 54:44
  that would be a scary thing to do.
• 54:46
  But-
• 54:46
  Yeah
• 54:47
  … but wishing for someone to…
• 54:49
  When you really think about it, making a wish for someone to love
• 54:52
  you is absolutely diabolical.
• 54:54
  Yeah.
• 54:54
  Yeah.
• 54:55
  And he had that whole TED Talk in his back pocket that he gave to the nurse,
• 54:59
  or not the nurse the waitress at the very beginning- Mm-hmm … how the movie opens.
• 55:03
  Yeah.
• 55:04
  And I'm like, brother, you have it right there.
• 55:08
  Just recite it.
• 55:09
  Regurgitate what you said to that little girl at the diner.
• 55:12
  ' Cause it wasn't terrible.
• 55:12
  Just give it a try.
• 55:13
  No, I thought it was sweet.
• 55:14
  Yeah.
• 55:14
  The Ian, the, the jerk mouth was the one that was like, "You can't say that."
• 55:20
  The jerk mouth.
• 55:21
  And the waitress, the actual girl, listen to the girls when we tell
• 55:24
  you, you can say that kind of stuff-
• 55:26
  Yeah
• 55:27
  if we're actually friends and close, like-
• 55:29
  And it'll be okay.
• 55:30
  Yeah.
• 55:30
  Yeah.
• 55:32
  Don't listen to
• 55:32
  Ian.
• 55:32
  Don't listen to your dorky friends that are just jealous and they are threatened
• 55:37
  by your relationship with the person.
• 55:40
  I don't know.
• 55:40
  Any other dis- but, to be fair to him, he thought that was not gonna work.
• 55:43
  He thought that was fake.
• 55:44
  Yeah.
• 55:45
  I guess we think it's a toy.
• 55:46
  I'm like, well-
• 55:48
  True That's
• 55:48
  true … how, how dumb really was that?
• 55:50
  How did all this go after?
• 55:52
  But how could this get-
• 55:53
  Like, holy moly.
• 55:53
  If you're gonna buy a, a crystal- Just buy the crystal … just buy the crystal.
• 55:58
  Get out.
• 55:58
  He didn't buy the crystal.
• 55:59
  And he just bought this random wish thing that he was gonna give to her.
• 56:05
  And then he was like, "No, I think I'm gonna pocket it for myself."
• 56:10
  Yeah,
• 56:10
  no.
• 56:10
  And then he didn't give her anything.
• 56:11
  He said he had something for her, and he was like, "Oh,
• 56:13
  sorry, I forgot it." You liar.
• 56:15
  Oh, I forgot about that.
• 56:16
  Yes.
• 56:18
  Oh, because is that, like, whatever he says on the phone whenever
• 56:21
  she's, like, trying to get him to come out to trivia, he, like, tells
• 56:24
  her that he got her something?
• 56:26
  Yeah, I think that's right.
• 56:27
  Also, I really just hated the whole, like, why do we… Like, how good of
• 56:32
  friends are you if you don't even know that, like, she's not close with her dad?
• 56:36
  That whole thing irritated me.
• 56:37
  True.
• 56:38
  We didn't really talk about the restaurant scene where she's like no, no, no, no.
• 56:43
  We're having a good time."
• 56:45
  Yeah.
• 56:45
  Or, like, whenever he's, like, on the phone with Ian, and you see
• 56:49
  her, like- Kinda, like, creeping in the back … walk into frame.
• 56:52
  And then go back.
• 56:53
  Yeah, that was spooky.
• 56:54
  Yeah.
• 56:54
  Okay, yeah, but I didn't… I can't think of a single good decision either.
• 56:58
  I can't.
• 56:59
  'Cause, like, even Sarah, even Sarah, like, knowing that he's with Nikki,
• 57:03
  texting him at like 3:00 in the morning, being like, "Hey, come meet me."
• 57:07
  Like, girl.
• 57:08
  After seeing her… Well, 'cause wasn't that also after… Yeah, that was after-
• 57:11
  That was after the party … the party.
• 57:12
  You saw this person act completely unhinged.
• 57:14
  Yes.
• 57:15
  And you're gonna poke that bear?
• 57:16
  Sarah.
• 57:17
  Yeah.
• 57:17
  Be so for real.
• 57:18
  So for real.
• 57:19
  You should have known.
• 57:20
  Yeah.
• 57:20
  Yeah.
• 57:21
  And also, why do you like that boy?
• 57:23
  What is it about-
• 57:24
  She should've had a… She could've had better crush on, uh, Andy
• 57:27
  Richter or whatever, the shop owner.
• 57:28
  Like, she would've been better off liking her boss- Oh, is
• 57:30
  that who that wa-
• 57:31
  … than this
• 57:32
  dork- Wait … of a man.
• 57:33
  Her dad?
• 57:34
  Was that her dad?
• 57:36
  Did her dad own the store?
• 57:38
  Yes.
• 57:38
  Oh, my bad.
• 57:39
  I totally missed that.
• 57:41
  I must-
• 57:44
  Okay, don't do that
• 57:44
  Don't do that.
• 57:45
  Don't.
• 57:45
  Please.
• 57:46
  Also bad.
• 57:46
  Also bad.
• 57:47
  Who is Andy Richter?
• 57:48
  Isn't that who that was?
• 57:50
  Yeah.
• 57:50
  It was Andy Richter.
• 57:51
  Was he on Conan?
• 57:52
  Yeah.
• 57:52
  Is that where he got famous?
• 57:53
  Yeah, he was- On- Yeah, he- Conan O'Brien … Conan O'Brien and, uh-
• 57:56
  That's hilarious
• 57:56
  … he's on Elf.
• 57:57
  Is he?
• 57:58
  What?
• 57:58
  Mm-hmm.
• 57:59
  Who,
• 57:59
  who's the- He's one of the writers
• 58:01
  … oh.
• 58:03
  So he wrote Elf.
• 58:03
  Is he the other one,
• 58:04
  the not Kyle?
• 58:05
  Yeah, you've got Kyle Gass and- Yeah … Andy Richter were the writers.
• 58:08
  Oh, okay.
• 58:09
  The, where, "We've got a an asparagus, but he's self-conscious
• 58:12
  about the way his pee smells." Yeah.
• 58:13
  That guy?
• 58:14
  That- Okay … well, no, that, that- That was Kyle?
• 58:15
  Kyle Gass said that.
• 58:18
  Okay.
• 58:19
  We, obviously we've seen that movie many times.
• 58:21
  So he wrote it, but he also, like, did a cameo?
• 58:24
  No, he was one of the- He
• 58:25
  played a writer.
• 58:26
  He played
• 58:26
  a
• 58:27
  writer.
• 58:27
  Oh.
• 58:28
  Played a writer.
• 58:28
  I follow.
• 58:29
  Yeah.
• 58:29
  Good grief.
• 58:30
  Sometimes.
• 58:30
  Actually, I mean, he could, he could have wrote it.
• 58:32
  I don't know.
• 58:32
  I don't know who wrote the movie.
• 58:33
  I don't know if- I thought what's his name wrote it.
• 58:34
  Maybe you're right … I don't know if it was Favreau or-
• 58:36
  I don't know
• 58:37
  … I know Favreau directed it, but I'm not sure-
• 58:38
  We'll have to pay closer attention to
• 58:40
  Elf from here out.
• 58:40
  Was
• 58:40
  that the guy who was Happy?
• 58:41
  Yep.
• 58:41
  Yeah.
• 58:41
  He's the director.
• 58:42
  He is
• 58:42
  a
• 58:43
  genius.
• 58:43
  Yeah, he was the director- Very talented guy
• 58:45
  of Elf.
• 58:45
  Yeah.
• 58:45
  And then also, he, he was the doctor in that one scene.
• 58:48
  Yeah.
• 58:49
  The doctor?
• 58:50
  The doctor that he, when he pokes his… He's like, "Stop eating the,
• 58:53
  um, the cotton balls," or whatever.
• 58:56
  Yeah.
• 58:56
  And it's a boy.
• 58:56
  That guy.
• 58:57
  I
• 58:57
  need to rewatch this movie.
• 58:57
  I-
• 58:58
  We watch it every year.
• 59:00
  I know.
• 59:01
  But no, to be fair, nobody's really watching it.
• 59:02
  We're all socializing.
• 59:03
  I think we left before the movie played last year.
• 59:06
  That's hilarious.
• 59:08
  No, I wanna know what the guy at the shop when, like, so, like, when Bear
• 59:12
  goes and he's, like, covered in blood and he's like, "Bro, your vibe is
• 59:16
  like- Yeah … so off." I wonder what his wish, 'cause he had made a wish.
• 59:21
  I wonder what his wish was.
• 59:22
  Oh, he said he had made one?
• 59:24
  Yep.
• 59:24
  Oh.
• 59:25
  I don't know, 'cause I mean, things seemed to be okay for him.
• 59:27
  He was- He's just living life.
• 59:28
  Yeah.
• 59:29
  Probably to run the shop, 'cause that girl was gone.
• 59:31
  Was he- I don't know … may- maybe he was the guy.
• 59:33
  Like
• 59:33
  the- Maybe he was the one on the other end of the phone.
• 59:35
  Oh.
• 59:35
  No, he's not the director.
• 59:36
  Oh, okay.
• 59:37
  You know what
• 59:37
  he looks like?
• 59:38
  Oh, yeah.
• 59:38
  Yeah.
• 59:39
  He wears, like, really weird glasses.
• 59:41
  They're like the yellow glasses.
• 59:43
  Oh.
• 59:44
  Like Elton John.
• 59:51
  Okay.
• 59:51
  All right.
• 59:51
  So club rules on this one.
• 59:51
  I mean, I would say-
• 59:52
  Be able to read a room.
• 59:54
  Yeah.
• 59:55
  I, I'd also say, uh, always check your sandwich.
• 59:58
  Oh.
• 59:59
  Excellent.
• 1:00:00
  Excellent.
• 1:00:01
  Yeah.
• 1:00:01
  Um, stay away from the weak men of the world.
• 1:00:05
  Yeah, there are plenty of them.
• 1:00:07
  Yeah, just get you a guy that will say, "I like you."
• 1:00:11
  Yeah.
• 1:00:12
  Not put you in a prison of your own body.
• 1:00:16
  Yeah, and then take advantage of you over and over.
• 1:00:19
  Truly.
• 1:00:20
  Ugh.
• 1:00:20
  Both of those guys.
• 1:00:22
  Ian and… Bear?
• 1:00:24
  Is that his name?
• 1:00:24
  That's how much I didn't like him, I didn't remember his name.
• 1:00:26
  I thought, what a terrible name.
• 1:00:28
  Bear?
• 1:00:29
  Uh, yeah.
• 1:00:30
  Maybe I shouldn't have said that, 'cause I'm sure there are lots
• 1:00:32
  of people out there named Bear.
• 1:00:33
  The lead singer of, uh, what's his name?
• 1:00:34
  Needforbreathe.
• 1:00:35
  Lead Need- Needforbreathe.
• 1:00:36
  Oh.
• 1:00:37
  Need- Needtobreathe.
• 1:00:38
  Okay.
• 1:00:40
  Sorry, my brain did not, uh- Yeah … fully process that before I said it.
• 1:00:44
  That's hilarious.
• 1:00:44
  That is true.
• 1:00:46
  Bear Reinhart.
• 1:00:47
  Yeah.
• 1:00:48
  Yeah.
• 1:00:48
  Uh, but it works in that context.
• 1:00:50
  It does for him, yeah.
• 1:00:51
  ' Cause he's- Like, cool indie guy, not this-
• 1:00:54
  Not pathetic-
• 1:00:55
  weird, dirty sock wearing-
• 1:00:57
  Oh, the dirty socks
• 1:00:58
  … ugly shirt wearing looking boy.
• 1:01:01
  I didn't even notice the dirty socks.
• 1:01:02
  I'm gonna have to watch for that next time, I guess.
• 1:01:04
  Oh,
• 1:01:04
  they were-
• 1:01:04
  That was all I could look at in that scene
• 1:01:06
  … yeah, 'cause he's, like, laying on top of his sheets with his jeans
• 1:01:10
  on, with his dirty- Dirty socks
• 1:01:13
  But all the sweaters neatly hung up in the closet.
• 1:01:17
  But you can't do a load of whites to wash your socks?
• 1:01:20
  Yeah.
• 1:01:20
  No bleach.
• 1:01:21
  Well, he used all the bleach to clean up his cat.
• 1:01:23
  So I'd say no bleach at that house.
• 1:01:25
  He used it all.
• 1:01:27
  Yikes.
• 1:01:28
  Although- Mm … it is easy to get white socks dirty, but then just take them off.
• 1:01:31
  Don't wear them in bed.
• 1:01:32
  Yeah.
• 1:01:33
  But then have you ever…
• 1:01:34
  Sometimes I think about, this is a little gross, but whatever, you gotta, like,
• 1:01:38
  de-season your feet before you go to bed.
• 1:01:40
  You know what I mean?
• 1:01:41
  De-season?
• 1:01:42
  Like, you gotta let them air out?
• 1:01:43
  No.
• 1:01:44
  No.
• 1:01:44
  De-season?
• 1:01:46
  What?
• 1:01:46
  Do you know what you're talking about?
• 1:01:48
  I know what she's… I know what she means.
• 1:01:50
  You know how, like, you just walk around your house barefoot.
• 1:01:52
  Like, you just… Oh.
• 1:01:54
  You gotta get all the little crumbs and just, like, you gotta de-season-
• 1:01:55
  No, I don't walk barefoot.
• 1:01:57
  You don't?
• 1:01:58
  So you don't walk barefoot in your house?
• 1:02:00
  Anywhere.
• 1:02:01
  Anywhere?
• 1:02:02
  What about the beach?
• 1:02:03
  What about the
• 1:02:04
  shower?
• 1:02:04
  Yes, that's the one exception is the beach, but I hate it when you get…
• 1:02:07
  Because you're supposed to be- Yeah
• 1:02:08
  grimy feet at the beach.
• 1:02:09
  But then when you get off and you have sprayed your feet down-
• 1:02:12
  Yeah
• 1:02:12
  … one grain of sand, I'm like the princess and the pea when it comes to that.
• 1:02:18
  I cannot stand it.
• 1:02:19
  Oh, man.
• 1:02:20
  And the squeak and squawking of the shoes all the way back- The
• 1:02:24
  squeak of the shoes … to the room.
• 1:02:24
  It's, yeah, it's a thing.
• 1:02:26
  So- I don't like bare feet at all.
• 1:02:28
  So what do you wear around your house?
• 1:02:29
  Socks.
• 1:02:30
  Oh.
• 1:02:31
  What color are they?
• 1:02:32
  Black.
• 1:02:34
  All of your socks are black?
• 1:02:36
  No.
• 1:02:37
  Um, I have some color ones.
• 1:02:39
  Like, I have- Okay … naturally, you know me, I have Halloween.
• 1:02:42
  Every year I usually buy a little pack of Halloween socks just to be in season.
• 1:02:46
  Yeah.
• 1:02:46
  And I'll wear those just to tootle around the house.
• 1:02:50
  But then they start looking grimy.
• 1:02:51
  I know.
• 1:02:52
  It doesn't matter how many times you wash them.
• 1:02:53
  That's why I wear black socks.
• 1:02:53
  So I would never wear them out in public.
• 1:02:55
  Wouldn't have s- the person you like over at your house- To see
• 1:02:59
  it … and then you're just like, "Hey, look at my grimy old socks."
• 1:03:05
  At least they didn't have holes in them.
• 1:03:06
  Did they not?
• 1:03:07
  I don't know.
• 1:03:08
  I don't think they did.
• 1:03:08
  I think they were just dirty.
• 1:03:08
  I
• 1:03:08
  wouldn't put it past
• 1:03:09
  this little boy.
• 1:03:10
  Wow, that's so funny.
• 1:03:11
  I'm glad that you got a kick out of that, de-seasoning your feet.
• 1:03:14
  Did I?
• 1:03:15
  It took me a long time, but, like- … it makes sense when you say it now.
• 1:03:19
  Yes.
• 1:03:20
  Yes.
• 1:03:21
  Oh, man.
• 1:03:22
  Any other club rules to survive?
• 1:03:24
  I don't know how you survive this one, to be honest.
• 1:03:27
  Yeah.
• 1:03:27
  I mean, once it's
• 1:03:28
  done-
• 1:03:28
  I think… Yeah
• 1:03:28
  … and you didn't even… That's the thing, she did not even
• 1:03:31
  have anything to do with it.
• 1:03:33
  And she's like… I watched an interview with the director, and he was like I
• 1:03:37
  imagine she probably goes to jail."
• 1:03:40
  Like, that sucks.
• 1:03:41
  Yeah.
• 1:03:42
  ' Cause but you can't prove it.
• 1:03:44
  I mean, her DNA's all over, you know?
• 1:03:46
  Yeah, I mean, technically she did it.
• 1:03:47
  Her body did it.
• 1:03:48
  Her body did it.
• 1:03:49
  And, like, what a terrible thing to be, like, in your body and, like,
• 1:03:52
  knowing that, like, your body's doing this- Mm … but you can't-
• 1:03:56
  Yeah … there's nothing that you can do.
• 1:03:57
  That's that's terrible.
• 1:03:58
  That's a terrible way to live.
• 1:04:00
  Terrible way to be.
• 1:04:00
  Mm-hmm.
• 1:04:01
  Okay, so would y'all survive?
• 1:04:06
  I think I would be good because I have never been the girl that
• 1:04:11
  any boy was like, "I just so wish she would love me." So, oh.
• 1:04:14
  Like, I don't… I think I'm pretty safe, to be honest with you.
• 1:04:17
  If anything- Me too
• 1:04:18
  there's probably a man out there that's probably like, "I wish she would
• 1:04:22
  get fired so she goes away from me."
• 1:04:24
  Oh, that would've been Chase's wish.
• 1:04:26
  Yeah.
• 1:04:26
  I wish she didn't like me.
• 1:04:28
  Yeah.
• 1:04:29
  And then I would've killed him because-
• 1:04:31
  Oh, yeah.
• 1:04:31
  Well, he did try to phrase it smartly.
• 1:04:33
  He's like, "I wish she liked me j-", when he tried to make another wish himself- Oh
• 1:04:37
  "I wish she liked me just as a friend." Oh.
• 1:04:40
  But then the wish didn't work 'cause he'd already made one.
• 1:04:42
  If he couldn't snap it.
• 1:04:42
  I thought that- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah … was really clever.
• 1:04:44
  That was cool.
• 1:04:45
  I thought that was cool.
• 1:04:46
  Yeah.
• 1:04:47
  No, that- I- I guess that's how that would've gone
• 1:04:48
  … but yeah, I feel like I'm 100% good.
• 1:04:50
  Yeah.
• 1:04:51
  I'm also not calling some boy at 3:00 AM to come meet me at the park, so I'm,
• 1:04:54
  I'm not meeting Sarah's fate either.
• 1:04:56
  I'm sleeping.
• 1:04:56
  Yeah, so you would be safe.
• 1:04:58
  I think I'm good.
• 1:04:58
  I guess it depends on, like, if seventh grade Shannon would've made that wish.
• 1:05:02
  Yeah, no, she would've- I would … she would've been toast, for sure.
• 1:05:05
  Yeah, I mean, high
• 1:05:05
  school me, I probably would've been.
• 1:05:08
  Oh.
• 1:05:08
  What about you?
• 1:05:08
  I mean, it would've been whatever the consequence of, of, you
• 1:05:11
  know, wishing for the money.
• 1:05:12
  Oh, that's right- That's, that's- … 'cause
• 1:05:13
  you have
• 1:05:13
  no heart.
• 1:05:14
  That would've happened.
• 1:05:15
  It would've, you know, I'd been like, "Oh, okay- It would've … give
• 1:05:17
  me a million dollars," and-
• 1:05:18
  Yeah
• 1:05:19
  something bad would've happened-
• 1:05:20
  Mm-hmm
• 1:05:21
  … to get that.
• 1:05:21
  It would've been like you embezzled this somehow.
• 1:05:23
  Yeah.
• 1:05:23
  Probably.
• 1:05:24
  I thought I had embezzled once.
• 1:05:26
  Have I told you all this story?
• 1:05:28
  Uh, no.
• 1:05:30
  Okay.
• 1:05:31
  So whenever I, and I hope I don't, I should, it's, it's fine.
• 1:05:35
  Whenever I moved up here I s- uh, you know, was working at Mercy,
• 1:05:40
  and they gave me a moving stipend because I was moving from Conway
• 1:05:45
  back to Springdale, or to Rogers.
• 1:05:47
  And so I got, like, a $3,000, like, moving stipend, right?
• 1:05:51
  Well, I moved back home.
• 1:05:53
  I didn't sign a contract.
• 1:05:55
  Yeah.
• 1:05:55
  But I moved back home with my parents.
• 1:05:57
  I had no moving expense, so I just pocketed that money, right?
• 1:06:03
  I used it as a down payment for my wedding venue is what I did.
• 1:06:06
  Smart.
• 1:06:07
  Yeah.
• 1:06:07
  Made sense to me.
• 1:06:08
  So then one day I'm watching Superstore with Alek.
• 1:06:12
  I love that show.
• 1:06:13
  Yes.
• 1:06:14
  And I guess there was an episode where, and I had never heard of the term
• 1:06:17
  embezzlement until this episode, and I guess the manager was, like, getting
• 1:06:23
  money from corporate for the store, but then was, like, buying it s- like-
• 1:06:26
  Yeah
• 1:06:27
  … stuff for him.
• 1:06:28
  And I was like That kind of sounds like what I did.
• 1:06:32
  And I sat on this for, like, a couple weeks, and it gnawed at me and
• 1:06:36
  gnawed at me, and I was so afraid.
• 1:06:38
  I was like, "I c- I might have committed a felony." But I
• 1:06:42
  don't think that is a felony.
• 1:06:43
  No, I mean, if they didn't ask for receipts.
• 1:06:45
  They didn't.
• 1:06:46
  Then you can do whatever you want with it.
• 1:06:47
  Exactly.
• 1:06:48
  It was for moving, and just, I just didn't have anything-
• 1:06:51
  Moving to the next chapter of your life.
• 1:06:54
  That's perfect.
• 1:06:55
  I'm gonna keep that.
• 1:06:56
  If they ever come… I mean, that's been seven years ago, but- But I literally,
• 1:07:00
  and when I finally told Alek, I was like, "I think I embezzled money." Yeah.
• 1:07:04
  What's h- what was his reaction?
• 1:07:06
  He just was like, "Why do you think you did that?" And I'm
• 1:07:10
  like, "Because I did this."
• 1:07:12
  Yeah.
• 1:07:12
  And he was like, "Shannon, that's not, that's… No, you did not." And I was
• 1:07:16
  like, "Okay, are you sure?" So that's why, that's my did I commit a felony?
• 1:07:22
  I don't know.
• 1:07:22
  You tell me.
• 1:07:24
  No one told me, though, if I actually did.
• 1:07:26
  Well, you don't work there anymore, right?
• 1:07:27
  No, I don't.
• 1:07:28
  So does that mean I'm good?
• 1:07:30
  I don't know if there's a statute of limitations on a felony like that.
• 1:07:34
  That you didn't commit,
• 1:07:36
  by the way.
• 1:07:36
  That you looked it up?
• 1:07:37
  I was- … actually just defi- asking to define a stipend, which is, um,
• 1:07:45
  'cause I feel like what a stipend usually is, is basically here's what
• 1:07:50
  you can use this for, but it's yours.
• 1:07:53
  Ah.
• 1:07:53
  Yeah.
• 1:07:55
  ' Cause I remember we, we got a, a stipend for, whenever we went to
• 1:08:00
  work for, or work, work from home.
• 1:08:03
  Oh.
• 1:08:03
  They gave us a stipend for buying any- anything we needed for our home office.
• 1:08:08
  Yeah.
• 1:08:09
  And so, you know, I used it to buy a monitor and some supplies
• 1:08:13
  and things like that to, you know-
• 1:08:16
  And what else?
• 1:08:18
  I mean, that was pretty- You
• 1:08:18
  spent it all on the stuff?
• 1:08:20
  Oh, yeah, 'cause I got a- Everything … I got a I mean, I got a nice monitor.
• 1:08:23
  Oh.
• 1:08:23
  But I mean- Yeah … but it's also it's mine.
• 1:08:26
  Like, I don't have to- That's true.
• 1:08:28
  Yeah, I don't have to give that back.
• 1:08:30
  It's, that's my monitor now.
• 1:08:32
  Yeah.
• 1:08:32
  Oh.
• 1:08:32
  So it's not like they own your house if you spend it on mon- if
• 1:08:36
  you spend it on rent or whatever.
• 1:08:38
  Yeah.
• 1:08:38
  You're good.
• 1:08:39
  Girl.
• 1:08:40
  You're fine.
• 1:08:41
  Whew.
• 1:08:42
  So-
• 1:08:43
  No jail for you.
• 1:08:44
  Ugh, for now.
• 1:08:46
  Just kidding
• 1:08:49
  Yeah.
• 1:08:50
  So that's- Nice … that's pretty much it.
• 1:08:51
  So is, is the next one
• 1:08:54
  Monster smash or pass?
• 1:08:56
  Yeah, there we go.
• 1:08:57
  I don't, I don't know where this is gonna go
• 1:09:01
  To me, the monster of the movie is this Bear
• 1:09:06
  Oh, for sure, 100%
• 1:09:06
  And hard pass.
• 1:09:07
  You know, all of these things, eh, both episodes we've done before, we
• 1:09:13
  did Pennywise in IT, and the alien from Alien, and in both of those
• 1:09:18
  things we were like, "You know, hear me out, there are some qualities."
• 1:09:21
  Not one single thing about this human boy that I'm like-
• 1:09:26
  Human boy
• 1:09:27
  … yeah, that I'm like- Benjam … oh, pa- I would rather be with Pennywise
• 1:09:31
  the Clown than- Yuck … this human clea- used Kleenex.
• 1:09:37
  I just do not-
• 1:09:40
  You are a used Kleenex Yeah.
• 1:09:42
  So no, pass.
• 1:09:44
  Okay, I did say he's a cat person.
• 1:09:48
  He killed it.
• 1:09:49
  He let it die.
• 1:09:50
  That was an accident
• 1:09:54
  He didn't mean to
• 1:09:56
  … irresponsible cat.
• 1:09:57
  And then I don't even think it was his cat.
• 1:09:58
  You're so- It was his granny's cat.
• 1:10:00
  You, firstly, did he even-
• 1:10:01
  Oh
• 1:10:02
  … did his grandma die off all the medicine too?
• 1:10:04
  Was he just out here killing everybody?
• 1:10:06
  He s- this is a Black Widow of a young man.
• 1:10:08
  Whoa,
• 1:10:08
  oh.
• 1:10:09
  I just cracked the movie open.
• 1:10:11
  Wow, that's gonna be the prequel.
• 1:10:13
  Yeah, where he kills his grandma?
• 1:10:14
  Yeah.
• 1:10:16
  Wow.
• 1:10:16
  He, like, makes a wish, he forgets about it, she dies.
• 1:10:20
  Oh, and then he d- ooh … then, then
• 1:10:22
  he did it again
• 1:10:22
  … what if it did?
• 1:10:23
  If every time you made a wish you totally forgot and you had to relive that?
• 1:10:27
  Oh, that's a movie idea.
• 1:10:28
  Ooh, TM,
• 1:10:29
  TM,
• 1:10:30
  TM.
• 1:10:30
  That's our idea.
• 1:10:32
  I mean, he does, I mean, I like a cat, but…
• 1:10:35
  Yeah.
• 1:10:36
  I'm about to get rid of this one.
• 1:10:37
  No.
• 1:10:38
  Do you see all that hair- Yeah, girl … coming off of her?
• 1:10:41
  Yeah.
• 1:10:41
  He does have a job, and that he literally would die for you.
• 1:10:46
  But he didn't.
• 1:10:47
  That wasn't for him, though.
• 1:10:48
  That, that was-
• 1:10:48
  He had the option of dying.
• 1:10:50
  He went to shoot himself, and then he took all his pills.
• 1:10:54
  He did, he did take the pills, so he d- but was that for her or for him?
• 1:10:57
  No, that was for him.
• 1:10:58
  That was for him.
• 1:10:59
  You're right.
• 1:10:59
  You're right.
• 1:11:00
  'Cause the guy in the car was like, "Well, you could just die."
• 1:11:04
  And he's like, "There's not"- He's like- He's
• 1:11:05
  like,
• 1:11:05
  " There's not another option."
• 1:11:07
  But I don't wanna do that.
• 1:11:08
  But can she die?
• 1:11:09
  What about her?
• 1:11:10
  She, could she die, and then I live and go on like nothing ever happened?
• 1:11:14
  Ugh, crazy.
• 1:11:15
  Loser.
• 1:11:15
  There we go.
• 1:11:16
  What about you, Mark?
• 1:11:18
  Yeah, I don't know about this one.
• 1:11:19
  Oh, also- I mean- … disclaimer that I didn't make in this one,
• 1:11:22
  uh, I would, I would pick you over-
• 1:11:23
  Oh
• 1:11:24
  anybody in the movie.
• 1:11:25
  This is true.
• 1:11:26
  Yeah.
• 1:11:26
  Thank the
• 1:11:26
  Lord.
• 1:11:27
  In case we were all sweating it 'cause I didn't say it.
• 1:11:28
  Yeah.
• 1:11:29
  All right.
• 1:11:30
  So does it join the club?
• 1:11:31
  Uh, for me, I would say absolutely.
• 1:11:33
  Yeah.
• 1:11:34
  I think this is- Yeah … phenomenal and just… Yeah, I mean, I it's, I
• 1:11:39
  think we're seeing the, the birth of a new horror director, and probably
• 1:11:45
  gonna see a lot from him in the future.
• 1:11:47
  I hope so.
• 1:11:48
  Yeah, I hope so too.
• 1:11:49
  It's worth a watch.
• 1:11:51
  There are a lot of movies where you're like, that is one you could
• 1:11:54
  wait for it to come out on streaming.
• 1:11:55
  Now, thankfully, it's already out on streaming 'cause it's
• 1:11:57
  been out in theaters for a while.
• 1:11:59
  Yeah.
• 1:11:59
  But that's worth the movie ticket money.
• 1:12:01
  It really was, yeah.
• 1:12:02
  And I don't say that a lot- I don't either … about movies
• 1:12:04
  anymore, especially scary movies.
• 1:12:07
  Like, when we went- Yeah … to see Longlegs a couple years ago, that was the
• 1:12:10
  worst, probably one of the worst wastes of money that I have spent on a scary movie.
• 1:12:14
  I was so let down by that.
• 1:12:15
  Yeah,
• 1:12:15
  I was too.
• 1:12:15
  And I, and I had an, it was a literal insult, injury to
• 1:12:19
  insult really, because I,
• 1:12:23
  b- Oh
• 1:12:23
  because I was walking to my seat.
• 1:12:27
  Oh, was that the movie?
• 1:12:29
  I'm just vis- I'm just visualizing- Oh, no … the whole situation.
• 1:12:31
  I had a handful of popcorn- … and I was walking up the steps in front of a
• 1:12:37
  full theater, mind you- Yes … a full theater, and I fell up the stairs- … and
• 1:12:43
  popcorn flew- In the air like a cartoon.
• 1:12:49
  And then I had to get up in front of all, and
• 1:12:57
  walk to my seat like nothing happened.
• 1:13:02
  And there I was, like a bumbling idiot behind you.
• 1:13:05
  Yeah.
• 1:13:05
  And I couldn't do anything 'cause I had two big giant drinks in my hand.
• 1:13:11
  And I had big gashes.
• 1:13:13
  I was wearing shorts, so
• 1:13:17
  both my knees were just busted open.
• 1:13:21
  I'm sitting here watching the whole movie bleeding
• 1:13:27
  And this was Longlegs.
• 1:13:28
  Ah.
• 1:13:29
  And that was the most entertaining part of the movie.
• 1:13:31
  Okay, yeah.
• 1:13:31
  That was not-
• 1:13:33
  Oh my gosh
• 1:13:33
  … worth it whatsoever
• 1:13:33
  That's so funny.
• 1:13:33
  Did you pick up every kernel of popcorn?
• 1:13:36
  No.
• 1:13:36
  I was like, "Get to your seat. Get to your seat."
• 1:13:39
  No, no, she got up quick and she- I thought she was fine, you know.
• 1:13:43
  I was not.
• 1:13:44
  Because she got up so quick- She was alone … and she booked it up the stairs.
• 1:13:47
  I was like- … "Okay, well, I guess she's all right."
• 1:13:50
  She just, she was running on pure adrenaline.
• 1:13:52
  Like- Yeah … didn't even feel the pain until halfway through.
• 1:13:54
  And like I kind of wish that people would have laughed.
• 1:13:59
  That was pretty awkward.
• 1:14:02
  Because then they would've been like, "Come on, guys."
• 1:14:06
  "We're all in this together." But everybody just
• 1:14:11
  … It's like, it's not awkward unless we make it awkward, and we made it awkward.
• 1:14:14
  Like-
• 1:14:14
  I didn't, they did.
• 1:14:16
  I'm saying ever- the theater as a whole.
• 1:14:18
  Nobody asked if you were okay.
• 1:14:19
  We as a whole, we, we, uh, we just, you know.
• 1:14:20
  I think y'all might have, but we were all laughing.
• 1:14:24
  Our friends were laughing when they were like, "Did you just fall up the
• 1:14:27
  stairs?" I'm like, "Yeah, LOL." And meanwhile, there's like teenagers all
• 1:14:32
  in the back row like, "What an idiot."
• 1:14:35
  Yeah, right.
• 1:14:35
  Like, "Old lady can't walk up the stairs."
• 1:14:38
  Because teenagers are the scariest thing on the planet.
• 1:14:41
  They're awful.
• 1:14:41
  That's why I stopped teaching.
• 1:14:42
  No, it was really their parents.
• 1:14:43
  That's funny.
• 1:14:43
  Their parents- Oh … are why I stopped teaching, but they raise the young things.
• 1:14:47
  They do.
• 1:14:47
  Oh my gosh, what a memory.
• 1:14:48
  Anyway.
• 1:14:49
  Wow.
• 1:14:50
  Thank you for that.
• 1:14:50
  I was laughing so hard I couldn't even get the words out.
• 1:14:52
  Oh.
• 1:14:52
  I hope you can understand the words that I said in that whole moment.
• 1:14:56
  We get that captioned.
• 1:14:57
  That's right.
• 1:14:58
  You'll have to do a translation.
• 1:14:59
  Yes.
• 1:15:00
  Oh, man.
• 1:15:01
  Man,
• 1:15:01
  what a memory.
• 1:15:02
  But anyway, yeah, I liked it.
• 1:15:03
  Join the club for me.
• 1:15:04
  I will watch it again if I get the opportunity.
• 1:15:06
  Yeah.
• 1:15:07
  Yeah.
• 1:15:07
  Yeah.
• 1:15:07
  I wanna watch that extended cut.
• 1:15:08
  Yeah, I wanna see the extended version.
• 1:15:09
  Yes.
• 1:15:09
  Okay.
• 1:15:09
  We should do that.
• 1:15:10
  Okay.
• 1:15:11
  Okay.
• 1:15:12
  So this was Obsession.
• 1:15:13
  What a fun episode.
• 1:15:14
  What a fun movie for all the wrong reasons.
• 1:15:17
  We hope that you guys enjoyed.
• 1:15:18
  Um, and we promise this is, this is the part where usually we would spin
• 1:15:21
  that spinning wheel of death, but, um, since we did kind of throw a
• 1:15:25
  little, a wrench to your plans, to our plans we will be covering Signs next.
• 1:15:30
  Which I am just excited to see.
• 1:15:33
  I'm excited to watch it.
• 1:15:34
  It's been a while.
• 1:15:34
  It's been a long time since I watched this movie.
• 1:15:36
  Yeah, me too.
• 1:15:37
  We hope that you guys watch along with us.
• 1:15:40
  So you can listen, kind of make your own opinions.
• 1:15:42
  Let us know what you think.
• 1:15:43
  Um, you can follow us on our socials.
• 1:15:45
  We'll have that in our outro, and we'll catch you later.
• 1:15:48
  Bye.
• 1:15:49
  Bye.
• 1:15:51
  Inviting strangers to join the club is probably a terrible idea, which
• 1:15:58
  means we're definitely doing it.
