Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Well, Ryan, I just want to say that none of
- 0:04Speaker 1: the allegations that Julia posted online about me are true
- 0:08Speaker 1: at all. I'm also like a little annoyed there was
- 0:11Speaker 1: no allegations against you whatsoever because she kind of worked
- 0:14Speaker 1: with both of us. But I obviously deny everything. And
- 0:20Speaker 1: a lot of this stuff is just totally unfair. Like
- 0:22Speaker 1: she said I have a drinking problem. That is just
- 0:25Speaker 1: way off base. Way off base. So... Anyways, I don't know.
- 0:31Speaker 1: I kind of got bad vibes from her. I thought
- 0:33Speaker 1: she was kind of a snake. What were your impressions
- 0:35Speaker 1: of Julia working with her?
- 0:37Speaker 2: She was fine.
- 0:38Speaker 3: We really, really need help around here. So it would
- 0:41Speaker 3: be great to have someone to do some of the work.
- 0:43Speaker 1: Can you pass me the Yukon Jack?
- 0:44Speaker 2: I can.
- 0:45Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 0:46Speaker 1: So you were saying that the half sea ice, half
- 0:50Speaker 1: Yukon Jack is called a what?
- 0:52Speaker 2: Craig was saying it.
- 0:55Speaker 4: I liked the Yukon Freeze. Yukon Freeze.
- 0:58Speaker 1: Yukon Freeze. So it's half sea ice, half Yukon Jack. Well,
- 1:04Speaker 1: bottoms up, boys. Yukon Freeze. To Julia, R.I.P., although she's
- 1:10Speaker 1: a dirty liar. That was terrible. That was really, truly terrible.
- 1:24Speaker 1: But anyways, that girl needs help. Welcome back to the
- 1:54Speaker 1: spooky series of Cuff's Basement. We are continuing our Halloween
- 2:01Speaker 1: podcast series. We already drank a zombie ice beer. Ryan's
- 2:07Speaker 1: having a little... What is that, Ryan?
- 2:08Speaker 3: It's going to be called a Frostenstein. It's going to
- 2:10Speaker 3: be the Frosted S'mores and Frankenstein Buzzball mixed together. It's
- 2:15Speaker 3: been so great.
- 2:15Speaker 2: Knowing everybody here. Yeah, I don't want that at all.
- 2:18Speaker 2: Look at this trooper. That's disgusting. Do you hear that person?
- 2:21Speaker 2: That's disgusting.
- 2:27Speaker 1: Cheers.
- 2:28Speaker 2: Oh, like Pepto-Bismol.
- 2:30Speaker 1: It absolutely looks like Pepto-Bismol. And I also have a
- 2:33Speaker 1: frosted brown sugar cinnamon.
- 2:36Speaker 2: Not bad.
- 2:37Speaker 1: Not bad.
- 2:39Speaker 2: Actually.
- 2:39Speaker 4: You combine them, it's way better than individual.
- 2:42Speaker 1: Pour me one.
- 2:43Speaker 2: I fucking knew it, so I was going to respond.
- 2:45Speaker 4: Pour me one.
- 2:46Speaker 1: Pour me a Pepto.
- 2:48Speaker 2: I think I see another chapter of the Great Gatsby.
- 2:52Speaker 4: I was going to say it looks like Nesquik's Strawberry milk.
- 2:55Speaker 2: Great call out.
- 2:56Speaker 1: Oh, but I bet it doesn't taste like it.
- 2:58Speaker 4: Sure doesn't.
- 2:59Speaker 2: Shelf warm.
- 3:00Speaker 1: This is a combination of Frankentini Buzzball.
- 3:03Speaker 2: And Frosted S'mores Buzzball brought to you by Pop-Tarts.
- 3:08Speaker 1: Okay, that's way better than the Frankentini.
- 3:10Speaker 4: It is.
- 3:10Speaker 2: It is way better. It's not bad.
- 3:12Speaker 1: We also have Frosted Brown Sugar Cinnamon Pop-Tart Buzzball.
- 3:16Speaker 2: Yep. Oops.
- 3:17Speaker 1: Just spilled it everywhere. Pour yourself some of that. I'm
- 3:21Speaker 1: going to rinse my hand off.
- 3:23Speaker 3: It's very brown. The chocolate latte color?
- 3:27Speaker 1: Yes. The good thing is the sponsors of Buzzball told
- 3:35Speaker 1: me 100% guarantee no hangover no matter how much you drink. Weird.
- 3:43Speaker 1: Kind of weird.
- 3:44Speaker 2: Very strong maple syrup taste.
- 3:46Speaker 1: No, like cinnamon maple syrup taste.
- 3:49Speaker 4: Like cinnamon Bailey's.
- 3:51Speaker 1: Yeah, not good.
- 3:53Speaker 2: What's up with the frosted?
- 3:54Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 3:54Speaker 2: They shouldn't. Is the frosted description just a way for
- 3:57Speaker 2: them to get away with the color? The milky color?
- 4:00Speaker 1: Ugh.
- 4:01Speaker 2: Frosted brown sugar cinnamon.
- 4:05Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 4:05Speaker 2: Okay.
- 4:07Speaker 1: So, we're here for another Halloween podcast with Ryan, myself,
- 4:18Speaker 1: I believe my name is Ryan.
- 4:20Speaker 2: Your name is Tim.
- 4:23Speaker 1: Thank you. And we have Mr. Craig O'Coin.
- 4:27Speaker 2: Hello.
- 4:28Speaker 4: Excited to be back again.
- 4:30Speaker 1: Yikes. We got a whole cocktail sloshing around in my
- 4:36Speaker 1: stomach right now of different.
- 4:40Speaker 2: We have a breakfast buffet.
- 4:41Speaker 1: Elixirs that Craig brought. It's been a good night. We
- 4:45Speaker 1: are going to talk about a sequel to a movie
- 4:48Speaker 1: that we covered how long ago? Was that two years ago?
- 4:53Speaker 4: That was closer to two years ago. I'll give you
- 4:55Speaker 4: a date. October 2024, two years ago.
- 4:59Speaker 1: All right. And that was the film Ready or Not.
- 5:04Speaker 1: I loved Ready or Not. Loved it.
- 5:07Speaker 2: Great.
- 5:08Speaker 1: Ryan did. Craig did. As far as a horror movie goes,
- 5:11Speaker 1: horror movie tier list, I would give this maybe like
- 5:13Speaker 1: an A.
- 5:14Speaker 2: That's great.
- 5:15Speaker 1: Oh, there we go. The cat maker is back.
- 5:21Speaker 2: A little ahead of its time on one thing, but
- 5:22Speaker 2: it's horrible on the other.
- 5:25Speaker 1: And Ready or Not was a 2019 film. I think so, right?
- 5:32Speaker 4: Sounds right. Is it 2019?
- 5:34Speaker 1: I'd have to look it up.
- 5:36Speaker 2: Come on.
- 5:37Speaker 1: Ryan and Craig are here to fact check for me.
- 5:39Speaker 4: I just pulled up my Ready or Not 2019. I
- 5:42Speaker 4: just pulled up my Ready or Not notes from 2019.
- 5:45Speaker 2: Two years ago.
- 5:46Speaker 1: And Craig, in like a one to two minute summary,
- 5:49Speaker 1: can you describe Ready or Not's plot?
- 5:51Speaker 4: So, Grace, who's getting married, and she's marrying into a
- 5:59Speaker 4: very rich, very powerful family. And as tradition, they have
- 6:06Speaker 4: to play a game after the wedding. And you realize
- 6:10Speaker 4: that the bride, Samara, weaving, is up. Her character name
- 6:14Speaker 4: is Grace. Sorry, I just called her her actor name.
- 6:16Speaker 4: It has to play a game. And the game is
- 6:20Speaker 4: hide and seek. And you find out that this family,
- 6:24Speaker 4: this very wealthy, powerful family, worships Satan. They made a
- 6:28Speaker 4: deal with Satan. And the game is that Grace has
- 6:34Speaker 4: to survive until dawn to win. Otherwise, the family has
- 6:40Speaker 4: to kill her. Um, and so they go through a
- 6:45Speaker 4: long hunt, right? You realize that like the main character
- 6:48Speaker 4: is like, Hey, this is a joke. Ha ha ha.
- 6:50Speaker 4: And she realizes pretty quickly, no, this is serious. And
- 6:53Speaker 4: she's on the run for her life.
- 6:55Speaker 1: Just to add a little bit more color. So this
- 6:58Speaker 1: is a family of billionaires who own a gaming empire
- 7:02Speaker 1: and you, you pull it. So in the podcast I
- 7:05Speaker 1: said this, this machine shits out a card and Ryan said,
- 7:08Speaker 1: shits out. But, uh, It can give you any game.
- 7:11Speaker 1: And if it's like chess, you just play chess. If
- 7:13Speaker 1: it's checkers, you play checkers.
- 7:14Speaker 4: Good call out.
- 7:15Speaker 1: But if it's hide and seek, that's like manhunt to
- 7:19Speaker 1: the death.
- 7:19Speaker 4: Yes.
- 7:20Speaker 1: And you don't want to pull hide and seek, but
- 7:22Speaker 1: Samara Weaving did. Grace did. Continue, Craig.
- 7:25Speaker 4: Yeah, and so she's on the run, all movie. She
- 7:33Speaker 4: pretty much is incredibly injured throughout the entire film. But
- 7:38Speaker 4: she finds a way... to survive until the end, until dawn,
- 7:43Speaker 4: and the family, I believe they call it, explodes in
- 7:48Speaker 4: the movie. It's a great visual effect. Just a pile
- 7:52Speaker 4: of blood and guts and whatnot gets exploded all over everyone.
- 7:56Speaker 4: And you realize that she wins. She won the game.
- 7:59Speaker 4: She made it till dawn without dying, and so therefore
- 8:02Speaker 4: the rest of the whole family is now dead. And
- 8:05Speaker 4: she wins.
- 8:07Speaker 1: Yes, and the, like, The whole time you're thinking this
- 8:11Speaker 1: curse that if Grace survives until Dawn, the family dies,
- 8:14Speaker 1: like that's the deal with the devil. You think it's bullshit,
- 8:16Speaker 1: and the whole movie you're like, they're all crazy, this
- 8:19Speaker 1: isn't real. Then you realize at the end of the
- 8:21Speaker 1: movie it was real. Grace won the game, and they
- 8:23Speaker 1: all spontaneously combust. That was part of their deal with
- 8:26Speaker 1: the devil. So sounds crazy to describe it really quickly,
- 8:29Speaker 1: but it is an awesome movie. And I think that
- 8:32Speaker 1: why it's more relevant now is it's about, like, The
- 8:36Speaker 1: excesses of rich people and how they get away with everything.
- 8:40Speaker 1: And poor people are fucked and are just like pawns
- 8:43Speaker 1: in their game. And this is sort of Grace. We
- 8:47Speaker 1: talked about how I said there was like three kinds
- 8:50Speaker 1: of women in these movies. There's complete unrealistic badasses that
- 8:55Speaker 1: are ninjas like Mila Jovovich and Resident Evil. Yes. There's
- 8:59Speaker 1: complete damsels in distress like Jamie Lee Curtis and Halloween. Yeah.
- 9:03Speaker 1: And then there's women who are like, no, fuck this.
- 9:06Speaker 1: And they fight back like Ellen Ripley and alien.
- 9:08Speaker 2: Yep.
- 9:09Speaker 1: And I said, Samara weaving is like an Ellen Ripley
- 9:11Speaker 1: and she's bad-ass and she's so sexy and like gets
- 9:15Speaker 1: fucked up in this movie, but it's, it's, it's just
- 9:18Speaker 1: bad-ass like middle fingers in the air. Fuck this family.
- 9:22Speaker 1: And I just loved it. Loved it. Loved it.
- 9:25Speaker 2: Loved it.
- 9:25Speaker 4: Loved it.
- 9:26Speaker 1: So it was a surprise, huge hit. It made a
- 9:30Speaker 1: ton of money. Um, It is, so it's budget of
- 9:35Speaker 1: $ 6 million. It made $ 60. Ten times its budget. This
- 9:41Speaker 1: had a budget of $ 14, which is still really low. Yeah.
- 9:45Speaker 1: And it made $ 45. So three times its budget. But
- 9:49Speaker 1: we decided, this is one of the rare times, I
- 9:52Speaker 1: say I don't like to do this, and maybe this
- 9:55Speaker 1: podcast will be an example as to why. I say
- 9:57Speaker 1: I don't like to commit to doing a podcast. before
- 10:00Speaker 1: I've seen the movie but I was so sure of
- 10:02Speaker 1: this I was like loved Ready or Not we should
- 10:07Speaker 1: definitely do I hadn't seen it I was like we're
- 10:10Speaker 1: doing a Ready or Not 2 pod with Craig and
- 10:13Speaker 1: Craig agreed thank you Craig so I'll just start off
- 10:18Speaker 1: and say didn't like this Didn't like Ready or Not 2.
- 10:22Speaker 1: Didn't like it. Thought it was bad. This is why
- 10:25Speaker 1: I don't do this, guys.
- 10:28Speaker 4: It was not nearly as good as the first. The
- 10:31Speaker 4: first was fantastic. There were some parts that I liked
- 10:35Speaker 4: about this one, but no, it's a sequel, and it
- 10:39Speaker 4: was not as good, but I enjoyed it.
- 10:44Speaker 1: We're going to do this. We're going to get through
- 10:47Speaker 1: this podcast, even though I just said I didn't like
- 10:49Speaker 1: the movie. There's very few movies that we do podcasts
- 10:51Speaker 1: of that I don't like. Like, for example, X vs. Sever,
- 10:54Speaker 1: I loved.
- 10:55Speaker 4: Plague Dogs.
- 10:57Speaker 1: Plague Dogs. No, I actually did like Plague Dogs. Tanny
- 10:59Speaker 1: and the Teenage T-Rex, I loved. But we're going to
- 11:02Speaker 1: go through this movie, and I'm going to talk about
- 11:04Speaker 1: the aspects I did like. Amazing cast. Yes. Loved the cast. Yes.
- 11:10Speaker 1: Is this directed by the same director of One?
- 11:13Speaker 4: Yes, the same director, Matt Bettinelli-Oppen and Tyler Gillette.
- 11:20Speaker 1: Same writers?
- 11:21Speaker 4: Same writers. Everyone's back.
- 11:24Speaker 1: I'm surprised by this. I thought that the tone of
- 11:29Speaker 1: One was perfect, where it was obviously ridiculous, but it
- 11:35Speaker 1: wasn't a cartoon.
- 11:36Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 11:37Speaker 4: So I have a note in here that the writers
- 11:39Speaker 4: wrote this story about the two sisters. Because, surprise, the
- 11:46Speaker 4: sister is introduced in this movie. And the studios came
- 11:50Speaker 4: back and said, hey, we kind of like your story.
- 11:53Speaker 4: Can you tweak it and actually make it into a
- 11:55Speaker 4: sequel for Ready or Not?
- 11:56Speaker 2: That was so interesting. Yeah. I was reading about that.
- 11:59Speaker 1: Oh, so it wasn't a Ready or Not movie. No.
- 12:01Speaker 4: It was kind of a, they had an idea of.
- 12:05Speaker 4: Of what they wanted to do for a movie, and
- 12:07Speaker 4: the producers or whoever came back and said, hey, we'll
- 12:11Speaker 4: give you your shot, but I want it to be
- 12:14Speaker 4: a sequel of this successful movie that we had already.
- 12:17Speaker 3: I'm so curious, too, because this creative team also did
- 12:20Speaker 3: Scream 5 and 6, which is also about two sisters.
- 12:24Speaker 3: And obviously Scream 7 did not continue that story. And
- 12:30Speaker 3: I was always curious, I'm like, was elements of this
- 12:33Speaker 3: supposed to.
- 12:34Speaker 2: Be part of their Scream 7? That's why I was
- 12:37Speaker 2: so curious.
- 12:37Speaker 3: Like, they don't, like, when I was reading the trivia
- 12:40Speaker 3: about the whole, like, this Two Sisters movie they were making,
- 12:43Speaker 3: they say nothing about it. They're just like, we're making
- 12:46Speaker 3: it with our two sisters, and then we couldn't make it,
- 12:48Speaker 3: so they told us to make it into this instead.
- 12:50Speaker 3: So I wonder if, like, because everything felt as shit
- 12:53Speaker 3: with Scream 7... Did they just transport the ideas, what
- 12:57Speaker 3: they wanted to do with Scream 7? Not exactly, obviously,
- 13:00Speaker 3: into this movie. Because their movie before this also was Abigail,
- 13:05Speaker 3: which I thought was great.
- 13:07Speaker 1: Well, so I was going to mention that. One of
- 13:08Speaker 1: the reasons why I wish we didn't do this podcast
- 13:11Speaker 1: is because there are two movies that are super adjacent
- 13:14Speaker 1: to this movie that are better. One is The Babysitter,
- 13:17Speaker 1: starring Samara Weaving, which is incredible. And then the other
- 13:20Speaker 1: is Abigail. So.
- 13:23Speaker 1: I saw the trailer for Abigail and I said, this
- 13:26Speaker 1: is a guaranteed slam dunk for Tim Cuff. There's no
- 13:31Speaker 1: way this is going to be bad. Then I went
- 13:32Speaker 1: on Rotten Tomatoes and it had like an 86. Yeah.
- 13:36Speaker 1: A vampire movie about a little girl vampire had an 86.
- 13:39Speaker 1: So I saw Abigail and I loved it. And this movie,
- 13:43Speaker 1: so Ready or Not is a Trapped in the House movie.
- 13:46Speaker 1: She goes outside, but it's like trapped in a mansion compound.
- 13:49Speaker 2: Yes.
- 13:49Speaker 1: Trapped in a House movie. Love Trapped in a House movies.
- 13:52Speaker 1: We've talked about this. Abigail is the ultimate trapped-in-a-house movie.
- 13:56Speaker 1: Babysitter is kind of a trapped-in-a-house movie. And this is...
- 14:00Speaker 1: Ready or Not 2 is like a trapped-in-a-hotel movie.
- 14:03Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 14:04Speaker 1: Resort movie. Yeah. And I love that idea. Like, just...
- 14:11Speaker 1: It's very easy to make a horror movie from that.
- 14:14Speaker 4: Oh, Solo.
- 14:15Speaker 1: Solo, exactly. Well, they weren't really trapped. They were there
- 14:19Speaker 1: by choice.
- 14:21Speaker 4: Uh.
- 14:22Speaker 5: Hot dig!
- 14:23Speaker 1: Ryan's face, Ryan's face.
- 14:24Speaker 2: Guess we saw something different twice.
- 14:26Speaker 1: Um, you're kind of blaming the victims a little bit.
- 14:28Speaker 4: I don't think so.
- 14:29Speaker 2: I mean, they did.
- 14:32Speaker 1: I mean, they didn't have to live in that town. Um, but, uh, yeah. So,
- 14:39Speaker 1: this is starring, we'll only talk about her so far,
- 14:43Speaker 1: Samara Weaving. She is a goddess. I pray at her altar. Yeah. Um,
- 14:49Speaker 1: she's beautiful. I don't understand why she's more famous. She's
- 14:53Speaker 1: kind of a scream queen now because of like the
- 14:56Speaker 1: movies that she, but not, not as much as her
- 14:59Speaker 1: sister who we'll talk about later. Um, but she's just,
- 15:02Speaker 1: I don't know why she's not more famous and popular.
- 15:04Speaker 1: She's awesome. She's a great actress. She's so, so good
- 15:08Speaker 1: looking and she is the, um, the star of ready
- 15:11Speaker 1: or not to Craig, calm down. Craig is drooling.
- 15:15Speaker 4: Sorry.
- 15:17Speaker 1: But she's an Australian actress. If you don't Google her,
- 15:20Speaker 1: you'll probably recognize her face. But she's awesome.
- 15:22Speaker 2: Huge fan.
- 15:23Speaker 1: She can do no wrong. Should we get into the
- 15:27Speaker 1: movie itself, or did you have any precursor settings you
- 15:30Speaker 1: wanted to set?
- 15:33Speaker 2: This was not in theaters very long.
- 15:35Speaker 1: It was not.
- 15:37Speaker 4: We did try to go see it, and by the
- 15:39Speaker 4: time we made plans, it was already gone.
- 15:42Speaker 3: And then it seemingly was on, like, streaming, like, within, like,
- 15:45Speaker 3: 30 days of that discussion.
- 15:46Speaker 2: It was very bizarre.
- 15:48Speaker 1: They probably, like, saw the writing on the wall and
- 15:50Speaker 1: were like, we'll probably make more money streaming. Yeah.
- 15:52Speaker 3: But is that so weird when that happens where, like,
- 15:56Speaker 3: sometimes it's, like, a cult movie people love and they
- 15:58Speaker 3: put out, like, we're going to do a sequel and
- 15:59Speaker 3: it does get successful. Then other ones like this one were, like,
- 16:03Speaker 3: I feel like people really enjoyed it a lot. Like,
- 16:06Speaker 3: a sequel would be a good thing to do and, like,
- 16:08Speaker 3: it just does less.
- 16:10Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 16:11Speaker 3: And I know they kind of blamed that there was
- 16:13Speaker 3: another movie that came out the same week that was
- 16:15Speaker 3: very similar in tone.
- 16:16Speaker 2: What? It's already called They Will Kill You.
- 16:19Speaker 1: Oh.
- 16:19Speaker 2: With Zazie Beetz.
- 16:21Speaker 1: Oh yeah.
- 16:23Speaker 2: And Mahila. Which was solid.
- 16:26Speaker 1: I didn't see it.
- 16:28Speaker 3: It's on Max right now. Solid but kind of similar
- 16:31Speaker 3: deal of like one woman tearing apart a whole world
- 16:36Speaker 3: for her sister.
- 16:39Speaker 2: Showa.
- 16:40Speaker 3: But yeah just bizarre I don't know I feel like
- 16:43Speaker 3: it just kind of like fell on deaf ears yeah.
- 16:47Speaker 4: I have one little factoid I wrote down okay we'll
- 16:52Speaker 4: get into the characters but Sarah Michelle Gellar is in
- 16:55Speaker 4: this movie yep famously from Buffy the Vampire.
- 16:58Speaker 1: I'm not familiar with that show.
- 17:00Speaker 4: And the sister Grace's sister is played by Catherine Newton
- 17:07Speaker 4: huge fan of the show and showed up to set
- 17:11Speaker 4: wearing an outfit from the Buffy pilot. Wow. And they
- 17:15Speaker 4: liked it so much that they're like, yeah, we're going
- 17:16Speaker 4: to let you wear that outfit for the film.
- 17:18Speaker 1: That's amazing.
- 17:19Speaker 4: So I saw that factoid and I immediately went to
- 17:22Speaker 4: streaming and pulled out the Buffy pilot. And I was like, yep,
- 17:24Speaker 4: there it is. Wow.
- 17:25Speaker 1: So for those that don't know me this well, I
- 17:28Speaker 1: was a massive Buffy the Vampire fan, as was Eric Lee.
- 17:33Speaker 1: Eric Lee's screen name on AOL was Sarah Michelle Gellar
- 17:37Speaker 1: Fan 87, which was his football number. And Paul loved
- 17:41Speaker 1: the show as well, but also Angel. Angel was an
- 17:43Speaker 1: amazing show. It was honestly better than Buffy.
- 17:45Speaker 2: It was way better.
- 17:46Speaker 1: It was better than Buffy. But, yeah. Anything before we
- 17:50Speaker 1: go into the movie? Ryan, you feel like you want
- 17:54Speaker 1: to say something?
- 17:56Speaker 2: Craig, do you know this? The actor who plays the sister,
- 17:59Speaker 2: her name is Faith, in the movie? Yeah. Yep. Is a, like,
- 18:05Speaker 2: professional golfer?
- 18:06Speaker 4: Catherine, didn't you? I did not know that.
- 18:08Speaker 2: That's, like, her thing?
- 18:10Speaker 1: Catherine Newton is... We'll get into it.
- 18:13Speaker 2: We'll get into it. That's the thing about her, apparently.
- 18:16Speaker 3: She's been almost like a very experienced golfer since age
- 18:21Speaker 3: 8 per Wikipedia. And then if you search on YouTube,
- 18:25Speaker 3: she has appeared on all these golf YouTube channels playing.
- 18:29Speaker 2: It's like, holy shit.
- 18:30Speaker 4: So is this because I occasionally golf? I'm supposed to
- 18:33Speaker 4: know every golfer in existence?
- 18:35Speaker 2: I just thought these were two worlds combining.
- 18:37Speaker 1: Did you guys see the new Sidney Sweeney ads? Because
- 18:39Speaker 1: women aren't supposed to play sports. They're supposed to be
- 18:41Speaker 1: nude and holding sports balls for men to ogle them.
- 18:47Speaker 1: But they're not supposed to play.
- 18:49Speaker 2: Like the jeans ads? Is that what the.
- 18:51Speaker 1: No, no, this is a new controversy. Ryan, get with
- 18:53Speaker 1: the times.
- 18:54Speaker 2: Sorry.
- 18:55Speaker 1: Anyways, so the beginning of two is the end of one,
- 19:00Speaker 1: which is the most erotic scene I've ever seen in
- 19:03Speaker 1: my life. So Samara Weaving... Comes out of the mansion
- 19:07Speaker 1: as it's burning down. She's covered in blood. She's in
- 19:09Speaker 1: a wedding dress. And she sits down and smokes a cigarette.
- 19:13Speaker 2: Amazing.
- 19:13Speaker 1: Chef's kiss. And the cops come to her and say,
- 19:17Speaker 1: what happened to you? And she says, in-laws. And then
- 19:21Speaker 1: she collapses. Now, I pet peeve. I don't love sequels
- 19:27Speaker 1: that begin the second the prior movie ends. So Incredibles
- 19:31Speaker 1: 2 begins the second Incredibles 1 ends. I recall that.
- 19:35Speaker 1: Thank you.
- 19:35Speaker 2: Great call out.
- 19:36Speaker 1: Thank you, Ryan. I don't like that because we moved on.
- 19:41Speaker 1: Years have gone by and we're curious, what is Jack
- 19:44Speaker 1: Jack like now that he's five? And no, you're just
- 19:48Speaker 1: pretending that years have not gone by. by, and you're
- 19:50Speaker 1: just picking up where the last movie left off. I
- 19:52Speaker 1: don't like that as a pet peeve.
- 19:54Speaker 3: I think if the real world time has gone, like,
- 19:56Speaker 3: obviously Incredibles is, what, 15, 16, what, 14 years apart?
- 20:00Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 20:01Speaker 3: 2004 to 2019, whatever. That one, I'm like, yeah, like,
- 20:04Speaker 3: why did you do it this way? This one being
- 20:07Speaker 3: three to four. Five years apart?
- 20:09Speaker 1: Okay.
- 20:09Speaker 2: Not as bad. Seven. Seven years apart.
- 20:12Speaker 1: Seven years apart. So shut up, Ryan.
- 20:14Speaker 3: I was thinking more of the Halloween.
- 20:16Speaker 2: Halloween... Hurts and Halloween Passes Away series.
- 20:23Speaker 1: And she wakes up in the hospital. She's handcuffed to
- 20:27Speaker 1: the hospital bed.
- 20:29Speaker 4: I did like... What an appropriate reaction, though. She's gone
- 20:34Speaker 4: through an extensive trauma. She's been shot, stabbed, all these things.
- 20:37Speaker 4: I'm like, Yeah, of course she would pass out.
- 20:40Speaker 1: Yes.
- 20:40Speaker 4: I agree with you. I didn't love the fact that
- 20:42Speaker 4: it's like, hey, this is just a continuation. But I
- 20:44Speaker 4: did think, yeah, that's normal.
- 20:47Speaker 1: So she's in the hospital bed. She's handcuffed to a bed.
- 20:50Speaker 1: A detective is there. And he's like, you know, you
- 20:55Speaker 1: were covered in blood. None of it was your blood.
- 20:58Speaker 1: And the house burned down. And we can't find anybody.
- 21:01Speaker 1: But we did find some dead bodies of the servants. Like,
- 21:05Speaker 1: what happened? What happened? And then her sister walks in.
- 21:08Speaker 1: Her sister is played by Catherine Newton. If you Google
- 21:11Speaker 1: Catherine Newton, you'll recognize her face. She is very much
- 21:14Speaker 1: a scream queen at this point. She has been in
- 21:17Speaker 1: as far as horror movies go. Paranormal Activity 4. Freaky,
- 21:21Speaker 1: which I was a big fan of Freaky. Blockers. Not
- 21:26Speaker 1: a horror movie, but just want to shout that out.
- 21:29Speaker 1: Lisa Frankenstein. Abigail. Ready or Not To. The Devil's Mouth.
- 21:36Speaker 1: I feel like she's kind of a.
- 21:38Speaker 2: Pokemon Detective Pikachu.
- 21:39Speaker 1: Detective Pikachu. That was more of like... Ant-Man. That's not...
- 21:44Speaker 1: I consider Detective Pikachu more of like an erotic thriller.
- 21:49Speaker 4: But.
- 21:49Speaker 1: Don't respond to that. Catherine Newton walks in and is like, Hey,
- 21:55Speaker 1: what the hell is going on? And explain their dynamic, Craig. Like,
- 22:01Speaker 1: how do they appear to be... Status-wise with their sister relationship.
- 22:06Speaker 4: Yeah, not good. Not good. The only reason she's there
- 22:11Speaker 4: is because Grace forgets to update her emergency contacts. They
- 22:16Speaker 4: have not seen each other. Which I like that idea, actually.
- 22:20Speaker 4: It's fine. They have not spoken in several years. Sort of.
- 22:26Speaker 2: Scream 5. Weird. If it ain't broke.
- 22:31Speaker 1: These male writers have boners for, like, sisters that don't
- 22:34Speaker 1: get along.
- 22:36Speaker 2: Please tell me she hasn't got a voicemail in four years, buddy. Five.
- 22:43Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, we find out later that, you know,
- 22:46Speaker 4: Grace leaves when she's 18. She abandons her sister, and
- 22:50Speaker 4: they've pretty much been separate since. Until, apparently, this moment.
- 22:55Speaker 1: And her sister is kind of like, Grace, you have
- 22:57Speaker 1: to tell me, what happened and Grace is sort of
- 23:00Speaker 1: like alright so like the family tried to kill me
- 23:03Speaker 1: and then they all exploded and after there was a
- 23:06Speaker 1: guy in a chair and he was see through and
- 23:09Speaker 1: then she goes like you're fucked.
- 23:13Speaker 4: Yeah multiple times she's like you would not believe me
- 23:15Speaker 4: if I told you and then she tells her and
- 23:17Speaker 4: then she's like yeah you're right basically I don't believe you.
- 23:20Speaker 1: Now we're in it says Newport Rhode Island we're in
- 23:23Speaker 1: one of the Newport mansions and Ryan who is the
- 23:25Speaker 1: actor playing the patriarch of this family.
- 23:29Speaker 2: His name is David Cronenberg.
- 23:31Speaker 1: Yes.
- 23:31Speaker 2: And he's most known for being a director.
- 23:33Speaker 1: And he directed?
- 23:36Speaker 2: Videodrome, Scanners.
- 23:38Speaker 1: The Fly.
- 23:39Speaker 2: The Brood. The Fly.
- 23:40Speaker 1: What was the movie that we covered that I hated?
- 23:44Speaker 2: You hated Crimes of the Future.
- 23:46Speaker 1: Crimes of the Future. And he was also an actor in?
- 23:51Speaker 2: Jason X.
- 23:52Speaker 1: Jason X. The one and only.
- 23:54Speaker 2: A movie you loved?
- 23:56Speaker 1: David Cronenberg is a patriarch of this billionaire family, and
- 23:59Speaker 1: he's watching.
- 24:00Speaker 2: Canadian legend. Bring us back to our initial recording.
- 24:03Speaker 4: Time for a shot of Yukon Jack.
- 24:05Speaker 1: No, I think I'm good with that. He is watching
- 24:08Speaker 1: the news, and then he picks up his phone and says,
- 24:11Speaker 1: approve the ceasefire. And then in the news it says,
- 24:14Speaker 1: breaking news, ceasefire announced.
- 24:16Speaker 4: Immediately. Within seconds.
- 24:20Speaker 1: The fucking legend, who's the biggest creep in the world
- 24:25Speaker 1: when he wants to be, Elijah Wood.
- 24:27Speaker 2: Great.
- 24:28Speaker 1: Is there. Who's Elijah Wood in this movie, Ryan?
- 24:30Speaker 2: He is like the.
- 24:31Speaker 4: I don't.
- 24:34Speaker 2: Know how to say it. Like a proletariat.
- 24:36Speaker 4: Lawyer.
- 24:36Speaker 2: Lawyer, but for.
- 24:39Speaker 1: He's the lawyer that represents the most powerful family in
- 24:41Speaker 1: the entire world.
- 24:42Speaker 2: Yes.
- 24:43Speaker 1: He almost may not be human. We don't know. He
- 24:47Speaker 1: could be a demon because he seems like... Also in
- 24:50Speaker 1: real life.
- 24:50Speaker 4: Good point.
- 24:51Speaker 2: And does not age. It's actually really concerning.
- 24:53Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 24:54Speaker 1: The, the, a great, he's like very, cause he, he
- 24:57Speaker 1: is kind of a weird dude and it's fine. Like
- 24:59Speaker 1: he was a child actor, but he's very into horror.
- 25:01Speaker 1: So he like plays, he's in horror movies now all
- 25:04Speaker 1: the time and he loves playing like creeps, but a
- 25:07Speaker 1: great creep role is Sin City.
- 25:09Speaker 2: Yes.
- 25:10Speaker 1: And I love the line where he's Kevin. Kevin's sort
- 25:14Speaker 1: of a ninja and he's, he's hopping around and kicking
- 25:17Speaker 1: Marv in the face and scratching him. Then Marv just
- 25:20Speaker 1: grabs them and grabs him and handcuffs them together. Then
- 25:23Speaker 1: he goes, let's see you hop around now. That's a great,
- 25:26Speaker 1: great line. And just, like, immediately goes like, and knocks
- 25:30Speaker 1: all of his teeth out.
- 25:31Speaker 3: Also, he started a production company to solely produce horror movies.
- 25:34Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 25:35Speaker 2: That's the sole role of him.
- 25:36Speaker 1: Elijah Wood, the alumni of the film North. But, so,
- 25:42Speaker 1: they're talking about how Samara Weaving, Grace, survived the hide-and-seek game,
- 25:48Speaker 1: and they show a text on a phone of the
- 25:50Speaker 1: family trying to sacrifice Grace to the devil. And the
- 25:53Speaker 1: text underneath the photo says, LOL Crazy Night.
- 25:57Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 25:58Speaker 1: Love that shot. It's great. Absolutely great. And they now explain,
- 26:07Speaker 1: like Craig basically described it, like they have to move
- 26:09Speaker 1: to the next step.
- 26:10Speaker 4: Yeah. So because she wins the game, it triggers a clause, right?
- 26:13Speaker 4: Which is really a opportunity, right? Because she won the game.
- 26:19Speaker 4: So there needs to be a prize is kind of how.
- 26:22Speaker 4: Elijah Wood, the lawyer, describes it.
- 26:24Speaker 2: We should have Eric check this, too.
- 26:27Speaker 1: Huh?
- 26:27Speaker 2: We should have Eric check this, too.
- 26:28Speaker 1: Eric deals with this every day.
- 26:30Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 26:33Speaker 4: So, yeah, her prize is that it now triggers a
- 26:36Speaker 4: new game. And you find out that the Le Domas
- 26:42Speaker 4: family was part of a council of very elite family
- 26:47Speaker 4: billionaires who control the world, essentially. And now, because she
- 26:51Speaker 4: beat them, she gets sort of a temporary seat on
- 26:55Speaker 4: the council. I mean, not really a temporary seat, but
- 26:56Speaker 4: she gets a chance to play against the rest of
- 26:59Speaker 4: the council for a chance to win the high seat.
- 27:04Speaker 2: Yes.
- 27:04Speaker 4: Which essentially controls the world.
- 27:06Speaker 2: Did she technically marry Adam Brody in the first place?
- 27:09Speaker 1: No, not Adam Brody. Adam Brody was the brother.
- 27:12Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
- 27:13Speaker 1: The other brother. But she did, yes.
- 27:15Speaker 2: She did.
- 27:15Speaker 1: She's referred to as Mrs. LaDoma.
- 27:17Speaker 2: So that's why she's gotten this opportunity. That's right.
- 27:20Speaker 1: Yes. And one of the cuts to different families reacting.
- 27:26Speaker 1: One is Kevin Durant, the actor. You've seen him in
- 27:29Speaker 1: a million things. I think he was in Lost.
- 27:31Speaker 2: He was on Lost?
- 27:33Speaker 1: He was in Mystery Alaska. He was in Abigail.
- 27:35Speaker 2: He's, of course, in X-Men Origins Wolverine.
- 27:38Speaker 1: X-Men Origins Wolverine. He plays the blob. He's the head
- 27:41Speaker 1: of a porno empire, and he's snorting cocaine, like excited
- 27:45Speaker 1: about this announcement. And Sarah Michelle Gellar is shown with
- 27:51Speaker 1: her twin brother. Her twin brother is Sean Hitosi, who
- 27:57Speaker 1: you would also recognize. Sean Hitosi's awesome. He was in
- 28:01Speaker 1: The Faculty. He's the main character in the epic film,
- 28:06Speaker 1: one of my favorites, Outside Providence, about Pawtucket, Rhode Island.
- 28:11Speaker 1: He's been in a lot of things.
- 28:12Speaker 2: Did The Pit. I've not seen it, but it's a
- 28:14Speaker 2: famous thing.
- 28:14Speaker 1: Yeah, so Sean Hitoshi.
- 28:16Speaker 2: Was he Southland, too? Or is that something else? No,
- 28:19Speaker 2: he was Animal Kingdom.
- 28:21Speaker 1: Animal Kingdom. That's right, yeah.
- 28:21Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
- 28:22Speaker 1: His Titus and his twin sister is Ursula, played by
- 28:26Speaker 1: the one and only Sarah Michelle Gellar. And they are
- 28:29Speaker 1: the son and daughter of David Cronenberg. So, Craig, explain
- 28:33Speaker 1: what happens at this point.
- 28:35Speaker 4: So, at this point, the lawyer showed up to Cronenberg.
- 28:39Speaker 4: and he informs them about what happened with Grace and
- 28:44Speaker 4: the Linda Moss family. And you hear this, the ball
- 28:48Speaker 4: is in play, right? So you kind of know something's up.
- 28:50Speaker 4: You know that there's sort of triggering a new game,
- 28:55Speaker 4: so to speak. But you don't know all the details yet,
- 28:58Speaker 4: and they're just kind of pulling all of these... the
- 29:02Speaker 4: members of the council together.
- 29:06Speaker 1: So I think that this movie... Ready or Not One,
- 29:09Speaker 1: it was a balance beam of total realism and a
- 29:14Speaker 1: complete ridiculous cartoon. And it walked... It was not even
- 29:17Speaker 1: a balance beam. It was a tightrope. And it walked
- 29:19Speaker 1: the tightrope perfectly. And this movie didn't. This movie is
- 29:23Speaker 1: like a complete ridiculous cartoon with no realism whatsoever.
- 29:27Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 29:27Speaker 1: And I didn't like that at all. It took away
- 29:29Speaker 1: like the magic of one. But they are... So Grace
- 29:35Speaker 1: is being arrested by the detective in the hospital. And
- 29:38Speaker 1: he was like, you're fucked. Like, your explanation makes no
- 29:41Speaker 1: sense and then all of a sudden the detective gets
- 29:43Speaker 1: a knife to the throat and it cuts to the
- 29:47Speaker 1: coked out porno like empire uh ceo and he says
- 29:52Speaker 1: i don't give a fuck about the rules i'm gonna
- 29:54Speaker 1: kill her and take the seat now So he tries
- 29:57Speaker 1: to kill her in the hospital and he actually successfully
- 30:00Speaker 1: subdues Grace and he is successfully going to kill her
- 30:03Speaker 1: and as he brings the knife down before it hits
- 30:05Speaker 1: her body, he spontaneously combusts.
- 30:10Speaker 3: My note was 18 minutes into the movie, she is
- 30:13Speaker 3: already covered in blood again.
- 30:14Speaker 4: Yes.
- 30:15Speaker 1: So there's an explanation that he broke the rules according
- 30:20Speaker 1: to the deal with the devil and that is why
- 30:22Speaker 1: he spontaneously combusts. But Grace goes like, I can't wear...
- 30:26Speaker 1: This I hated. She goes, I can't wear my hospital
- 30:29Speaker 1: gown for the rest of this experience. I know what's
- 30:32Speaker 1: going to happen to me. I have to be able
- 30:34Speaker 1: to move. I got to change out of this hospital gown.
- 30:36Speaker 1: So she puts on the blood-covered wedding dress from the
- 30:39Speaker 1: first movie. And it's like, we're back, guys. And I
- 30:43Speaker 1: just thought, no, that doesn't make any sense. She doesn't
- 30:46Speaker 1: need to be wearing the wedding dress.
- 30:48Speaker 4: Have you guys seen Beer Fest?
- 30:48Speaker 2: No.
- 30:49Speaker 4: So.
- 30:55Speaker 3: It's a broken lizard movie. You guys mean Super Troopers.
- 30:58Speaker 3: And a character named Landfill dies trying to drink himself
- 31:03Speaker 3: out of a tank of beer. And his long lost
- 31:07Speaker 3: twin brother shows up. And the joke of it is
- 31:11Speaker 3: that the idea like all these sequels like to recapture
- 31:14Speaker 3: the original and we talked about this with Jurassic Park Dominion.
- 31:18Speaker 3: I need to like do exactly what the last character
- 31:20Speaker 3: did including like wear the same clothes.
- 31:22Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 31:23Speaker 3: And I love the brilliance of Beer Fest, a joke
- 31:25Speaker 3: he gets no credit for, is that just during the
- 31:27Speaker 3: movie he's like.
- 31:28Speaker 2: Hey, you guys can just call me landfill. It's fucking genius. Like,
- 31:33Speaker 2: just give up. Like, what's the point of this?
- 31:34Speaker 1: Just give up.
- 31:35Speaker 2: Oh, that's great.
- 31:37Speaker 3: What blows my mind is so many movies do this
- 31:40Speaker 3: where it's like, let's just run it back the exact
- 31:43Speaker 3: same way.
- 31:44Speaker 2: And it's like, I get it's movies and you have
- 31:46Speaker 2: suspension of disbelief, but like, why.
- 31:50Speaker 1: Why? Ryan and I have talked about it before. Why
- 31:53Speaker 1: do characters in movies always wear the same outfit? That
- 31:55Speaker 1: doesn't make sense.
- 31:57Speaker 3: Number one, which is deranged, is Laura Dern in Dominion.
- 32:03Speaker 3: She wore the same clothes from 1993.
- 32:06Speaker 2: Yes.
- 32:07Speaker 4: Why?
- 32:08Speaker 1: Yes, Ellie Dern, not Ellie Dern, Ellie Sadler is wearing.
- 32:13Speaker 3: She is frozen in time.
- 32:14Speaker 1: Yes, makes no sense.
- 32:16Speaker 2: It's insane to me.
- 32:17Speaker 1: So then Elijah Wood walks into the hospital and throws
- 32:20Speaker 1: a bunch of gas grenades and everybody passes out.
- 32:22Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 32:24Speaker 1: And now we're at a resort that Sarah Michelle Gellar and, oh, sorry.
- 32:29Speaker 4: Sorry. Yes, I wanted to add to this because you
- 32:33Speaker 4: hear Elijah Wood be, he realizes that the coked out
- 32:37Speaker 4: guy is like, oh, well, he bent the rules and
- 32:40Speaker 4: now his whole bloodline is like cursed.
- 32:43Speaker 1: Wiped out. Doomed.
- 32:44Speaker 4: And they cut immediately to a wedding at this resort.
- 32:47Speaker 2: Right.
- 32:48Speaker 4: And I so wanted the scene to be like either
- 32:50Speaker 4: the bride or the groom is one of the relatives
- 32:52Speaker 4: and just explodes.
- 32:54Speaker 2: But it didn't happen.
- 32:55Speaker 4: It didn't happen. It was still a pretty good scene
- 32:57Speaker 4: where they basically show up and say, hey, get the
- 33:00Speaker 4: fuck out.
- 33:00Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 33:01Speaker 1: So this rich family owns this resort and there's like
- 33:05Speaker 1: thousands of guests there and they kick them all out.
- 33:07Speaker 1: They're saying, get the fuck out. And Titus, who's the twin,
- 33:12Speaker 1: male twin of Sarah Michelle Gellar, says the council hasn't
- 33:14Speaker 1: convened since 1963 or she says that. It doesn't matter.
- 33:18Speaker 1: And now all the guests leave the resort and the
- 33:22Speaker 1: council of all these different families arrive. So Craig, describe
- 33:26Speaker 1: these different families.
- 33:27Speaker 4: Okay. So the different families, I wrote them down.
- 33:32Speaker 1: I figured you would.
- 33:33Speaker 4: And I used shorthand. So forgive me because I don't
- 33:38Speaker 4: have the names directly in front of me. But we have,
- 33:42Speaker 4: let's see, the woman from China who is Wan Chang Zing.
- 33:48Speaker 2: Okay.
- 33:48Speaker 4: It's the character name. And her son show up. We
- 33:53Speaker 4: have Ignacio Alcaido.
- 33:58Speaker 1: So I would say one of the reasons that I
- 34:01Speaker 1: don't like this movie is I don't want to say
- 34:02Speaker 1: these depictions are racist. I'm not going to be like
- 34:05Speaker 1: a woke White Knight warrior, but they're just lazy. I
- 34:10Speaker 1: wouldn't say they're racist. I'd say they're lazy in the
- 34:13Speaker 1: way that they're written.
- 34:14Speaker 4: Yeah, because I wrote down Chinese woman, Latino... The coked
- 34:19Speaker 4: out guy was AC Bro.
- 34:21Speaker 1: It's a tiger Asian mom with a fat video game
- 34:26Speaker 1: obsessed son. Then there's a drug cartel Hispanic family. Then
- 34:32Speaker 1: there's a, I don't even know the other, was it
- 34:37Speaker 1: Middle Eastern?
- 34:38Speaker 4: Yeah, Middle Eastern. I call them the funny guys because
- 34:43Speaker 4: they try to be funny, but they're not great. Yeah,
- 34:46Speaker 4: I wrote, you know, first movie's a dark comedy. This
- 34:48Speaker 4: is just trying to be too much a regular comedy,
- 34:52Speaker 4: I guess, because of, like, these characterizations.
- 34:54Speaker 3: The characters in the first one, like, the different dynamics
- 34:57Speaker 3: of that family are, like, so, I think, well done. Like,
- 35:02Speaker 3: they give you enough to buy into their real people,
- 35:05Speaker 3: but also they are stereotypes of that personality. This one is, like,
- 35:10Speaker 3: we're going to have entire families of people be one thing.
- 35:15Speaker 2: And it just doesn't work.
- 35:16Speaker 1: So also, the rules of this are really stupid. It's
- 35:19Speaker 1: based on a deal with the devil, but one of
- 35:21Speaker 1: the rules is you can only use weapons that existed
- 35:25Speaker 1: when your family made the deal with the devil. So
- 35:27Speaker 1: the Asian woman, even though she's Chinese, she's using a
- 35:30Speaker 1: samurai sword, which I just, like, rolled my eyes.
- 35:32Speaker 2: Yep.
- 35:33Speaker 1: But then the drug cartel Hispanic family are using, like,
- 35:35Speaker 1: sniper rifles and machine guns. And I was like, This
- 35:38Speaker 1: isn't fair at all, and Grace would immediately be dead.
- 35:40Speaker 4: And the Arab guys have, like, a Middle Eastern sword.
- 35:43Speaker 1: Yes, like an Aladdin sword, I would say. It's very, again,
- 35:47Speaker 1: not racist. I'm going to say it's lazy.
- 35:49Speaker 4: Lazy is a good example. Yeah, I thought that, too.
- 35:51Speaker 4: I was like, did these guys make the deal, like,
- 35:53Speaker 4: two years ago? Because they got advanced weapons.
- 35:57Speaker 1: And so the son, who's probably, like, ten of the
- 36:03Speaker 1: Hispanic drug cartel, Grace wakes up, and she's tied up,
- 36:07Speaker 1: and the son says, May I speak to it, father?
- 36:09Speaker 1: And the father says, of course, it can't hurt you.
- 36:12Speaker 1: And then they ask her.
- 36:13Speaker 2: Did you see Mr. LaBelle?
- 36:15Speaker 1: Who's like the devil, essentially. So Elijah Wood says, I'm
- 36:21Speaker 1: the attorney for Mr. LaBelle. There's a council of six families.
- 36:26Speaker 1: It's down to four because you killed the LaDomas's. And
- 36:31Speaker 1: then also the porn guy, he died breaking the rules.
- 36:35Speaker 1: So his family's wiped out. Do you have any questions?
- 36:38Speaker 1: And Grace's question is.
- 36:40Speaker 4: Can I have a cigarette?
- 36:42Speaker 1: Hell yeah. And I thought, Grace, are you trying to
- 36:44Speaker 1: give me a boner?
- 36:46Speaker 2: So good.
- 36:47Speaker 1: And then the sister is named Faith, and somebody says,
- 36:51Speaker 1: Grace and Faith, fucking Irish Catholics.
- 36:53Speaker 4: I had that same note written down.
- 36:55Speaker 1: Great line. So the high seat... Craig, I don't know
- 36:58Speaker 1: if you want to explain this, but the high seat
- 36:59Speaker 1: controls the world?
- 37:00Speaker 4: I don't know. Yeah, so there's a council, and they
- 37:03Speaker 4: all have, you know.
- 37:05Speaker 4: Advantages or benefits from their deal with Mr.
- 37:09Speaker 2: LaBelle.
- 37:10Speaker 4: But there is a high seat. It's like this really cheesy, like,
- 37:15Speaker 4: gold ring that doesn't look good. But, I mean, I
- 37:19Speaker 4: say it doesn't look good. I mean, like, it's not flashy.
- 37:22Speaker 4: It's cheap. It looks cheap. It's just, like, maybe it's 1,000
- 37:24Speaker 4: years old.
- 37:25Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 37:26Speaker 4: But, yeah, the high seat essentially controls the world. We
- 37:30Speaker 4: saw this with– I'm already blanking on his name– The
- 37:35Speaker 4: old man earlier where he calls in and says, I
- 37:37Speaker 4: approve the ceasefire, right? So, like, whatever they want, done immediately. So, like,
- 37:42Speaker 4: it's an extremely powerful seat. And this is what they're
- 37:46Speaker 4: all trying. This is what they're all vying for.
- 37:49Speaker 1: And I don't think we even talked about this, but
- 37:52Speaker 1: the twins, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Titus... They kill their father.
- 37:58Speaker 4: They kill the father, yeah. Because the rule is that
- 38:01Speaker 4: the oldest member of the family has to compete in
- 38:06Speaker 4: the hunt. And so when you see the old man,
- 38:08Speaker 4: he's very old, very frail. He realizes, I cannot even,
- 38:12Speaker 4: I can't even move.
- 38:14Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 38:15Speaker 4: I'm essentially, you know, wheelchair stricken. So you have to
- 38:18Speaker 4: kill me so that you can go become the hunters.
- 38:21Speaker 4: You're now the eldest and you can actually win the
- 38:24Speaker 4: seat back for the family. Yeah.
- 38:26Speaker 1: And Elijah Wood explains to Grace, think of this as
- 38:29Speaker 1: double or nothing. We must fill the seat by dawn.
- 38:32Speaker 1: And then her sister, Faith, says, listen, you guys seem
- 38:37Speaker 1: like good people. And I just, I love that.
- 38:39Speaker 2: Great line. Good line.
- 38:40Speaker 1: Nope, nope. And then, so the Hispanic, like, cartel leader
- 38:46Speaker 1: who's played by Dark Knight alum.
- 38:48Speaker 4: Nestor. Carbonell.
- 38:50Speaker 1: Nestor Carbonell.
- 38:51Speaker 2: Also one too.
- 38:52Speaker 1: Yes. Nestor Carbonell. says, uh, daughter, so Mr. Carbonell's daughter
- 38:56Speaker 1: is like, uh, in her twenties and she's pretty. And
- 39:00Speaker 1: she screams at Grace, like, you stole my fiance, like
- 39:04Speaker 1: your husband that you killed. And then Grace says, listen,
- 39:07Speaker 1: I don't even know who the fuck you are. And
- 39:09Speaker 1: then Faith says, I'm only her emergency contact. But the
- 39:13Speaker 1: rules are not only the council members must use a
- 39:15Speaker 1: weapon from the time period they made the bargain with,
- 39:18Speaker 1: which I already talked about. Also, council members cannot kill
- 39:21Speaker 1: each other. And if you kill each other, even by accident,
- 39:24Speaker 1: then your entire bloodline is wiped out.
- 39:26Speaker 4: Yes. Very important rule.
- 39:29Speaker 1: I don't know this character's name, but I call him
- 39:31Speaker 1: Martini Guy.
- 39:34Speaker 4: Martini Guy is fantastic. Skip Danforth.
- 39:38Speaker 1: Skip. Skip is not the top of the bloodline, but
- 39:42Speaker 1: he's in the white Stammerstoke Eller family. And he wears
- 39:46Speaker 1: a robe like a smoking jacket and drinks a martini
- 39:49Speaker 1: the entire movie. And he's just sort of like, this
- 39:52Speaker 1: is all going to work out for itself. He says,
- 39:55Speaker 1: Chester has been training his kids since they were born.
- 39:58Speaker 1: This hunt will last five minutes. And they decide to
- 40:07Speaker 1: drug the sisters and they wake up handcuffed together on
- 40:12Speaker 1: the ninth hole of the golf course of the resort.
- 40:16Speaker 1: There's a, like, so the Asian woman, and I'm sorry
- 40:20Speaker 1: that I keep referring to them this way, but you
- 40:22Speaker 1: just kind of have to, the way this movie's written.
- 40:23Speaker 4: Yep.
- 40:24Speaker 1: She's like, all these people are idiots. She sends a
- 40:28Speaker 1: drone over, and you're like, well, wait. She can't kill
- 40:32Speaker 1: Grace with the drone, because she has to kill Grace
- 40:34Speaker 1: with a samurai sword, because of the rules. But the
- 40:36Speaker 1: drone says, Grace, there is a loophole. You need to
- 40:39Speaker 1: listen to me. And then the drone explodes, because it's
- 40:42Speaker 1: shot by a sniper rifle. By Batman Well, that was
- 40:46Speaker 1: my note. Um, and then explain this, this, this is like,
- 40:52Speaker 1: I just thought this was stupid, but they're hiding in
- 40:55Speaker 1: like this grill area. Ryan, I don't know if you
- 40:57Speaker 1: want to explain this. Craig, like they're in the grill
- 41:01Speaker 1: area with the propane tanks. He doesn't know.
- 41:03Speaker 4: Yeah. So they're, they're hiding from, right. So, um, they,
- 41:07Speaker 4: there's an attack from the, the, uh, Danforth kids, Titus
- 41:11Speaker 4: and Ursula. They're in the woods. Um, so they're run, they're,
- 41:14Speaker 4: they're hiding out in this little, little, tent area with
- 41:18Speaker 4: like this little grill area. And so they, um, are
- 41:21Speaker 4: under attack from the sniper fire from the Latino family.
- 41:25Speaker 4: And so they realized they have to get out of this.
- 41:29Speaker 4: So they start burning leaves to kind of create a
- 41:32Speaker 4: smoke around their little tent so that that way they
- 41:36Speaker 4: can't be seen from the sniper who's, you know, further away.
- 41:40Speaker 4: And they use this to kind of run out of
- 41:42Speaker 4: the way. And as, um, as this is happening, um, Again,
- 41:48Speaker 4: I apologize because I wrote down the names here somewhere,
- 41:50Speaker 4: but the Arab guys come in with the Aladdin sword.
- 41:56Speaker 4: It's coming after them.
- 41:57Speaker 1: Now, when Craig says the Arab guys with the Aladdin sword,
- 42:01Speaker 1: it's the movie being lazy. It's not Craig. It's not Craig.
- 42:05Speaker 4: They really don't list the names.
- 42:07Speaker 2: They don't even repeat the names they say to each other.
- 42:09Speaker 4: Correct. Because I wrote these down, and I did look
- 42:12Speaker 4: them up after, and... Like, his name is Madhu Rajan,
- 42:16Speaker 4: but they probably don't even say it.
- 42:19Speaker 1: They never, ever, ever say that.
- 42:20Speaker 4: No. And so, as this guy with a sniper rifle
- 42:24Speaker 4: is shooting at him, he can't see, so he's kind
- 42:26Speaker 4: of blindly firing into this. He hits the propane tank
- 42:30Speaker 4: and knocks the guy almost out where he thinks maybe
- 42:35Speaker 4: he's dead, which is, again, big rule. You cannot kill
- 42:38Speaker 4: other family members or your whole bloodline's gone.
- 42:40Speaker 1: Even by accident.
- 42:41Speaker 4: Right, even by accident. And so I also, not funny,
- 42:46Speaker 4: but a key point is as this propane tank blows,
- 42:50Speaker 4: it just shoots glass shards right into Grace's arm. I'm like, yep,
- 42:53Speaker 4: here we go again. She's just getting crushed.
- 42:56Speaker 1: And she's still healing from the initial night.
- 42:58Speaker 2: Correct.
- 43:01Speaker 4: And so you find out that the guy, he does
- 43:03Speaker 4: get up. He's just knocked backwards. He's not dead. So
- 43:07Speaker 4: it's like everyone breathes a sigh of relief here.
- 43:13Speaker 1: So the Middle Eastern family, because the rule is you
- 43:16Speaker 1: can only have one family member and it has to
- 43:18Speaker 1: be the eldest in the field.
- 43:20Speaker 2: Yes.
- 43:20Speaker 1: So in the field on the hunt for the Middle
- 43:23Speaker 1: Eastern family is this guy with the Aladdin sword. He's
- 43:25Speaker 1: wearing a gold mask and he's like pretty badass. And
- 43:28Speaker 1: then his little brother is more of like an Aziz
- 43:31Speaker 1: Ansari character. Sort of like a social media, non-intimidating, watching
- 43:38Speaker 1: in the background.
- 43:39Speaker 5: Great example and the gold mask guy because they're in
- 43:43Speaker 5: a resort so there's like industrial laundry room with industrial
- 43:48Speaker 5: washers and the gold mask guy from the middle eastern
- 43:51Speaker 5: family is trying to kill them.
- 43:53Speaker 1: And they eventually manage to get him in one of
- 43:57Speaker 1: the industrial washing machines they shut it and they run
- 44:00Speaker 1: it and I was like really brutal death disgusting brutal
- 44:05Speaker 1: this is like Robocop style it's actually the.
- 44:07Speaker 2: Most memorable part of the entire movie To be honest
- 44:09Speaker 2: with you. Yeah.
- 44:11Speaker 4: I find it funny how they think he's dead and
- 44:13Speaker 4: so they're getting ready to turn it off and then
- 44:15Speaker 4: you just hear screams coming back and they're like, ooh,
- 44:18Speaker 4: he's still going.
- 44:19Speaker 1: And Grace sets it to sanitize, like sets the washing
- 44:22Speaker 1: machine to sanitize because you know it's going to be
- 44:24Speaker 1: like 200 degrees. And then they're like, maybe he has
- 44:27Speaker 1: a phone on him. So then Grace is going through
- 44:30Speaker 1: his pockets going like, and she's going through his pockets.
- 44:36Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 44:37Speaker 1: And so back in the, like, viewing room, they say
- 44:42Speaker 1: to the, I call him Aziz Ansari. He's not Aziz Ansari.
- 44:45Speaker 4: Yes.
- 44:46Speaker 1: But they call, they say to the Aziz Ansari guy, like, okay,
- 44:48Speaker 1: your brother's dead, like, you're in the field. And he's like, um.
- 44:53Speaker 4: Nope.
- 44:54Speaker 1: I want to put my wife in instead of me.
- 44:56Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 44:57Speaker 1: And they go, okay, well, you have to sign this
- 44:58Speaker 1: contract if you want to do that, because you're the bloodline,
- 45:01Speaker 1: your wife is not. And he goes, okay. And he
- 45:02Speaker 1: signs it. And the wife is like, fuck you. Like, screaming,
- 45:06Speaker 1: because she's beautiful. She married him for his money. But
- 45:09Speaker 1: she's like, fuck you. So they make the wife go
- 45:13Speaker 1: out into the field to try to kill Grace and Faith.
- 45:18Speaker 1: And now.
- 45:20Speaker 1: Well, where are we at? Yeah, you know what? I
- 45:23Speaker 1: think that we should take this to part two. Where,
- 45:26Speaker 1: at this point, Grace has offered a very interesting deal
- 45:31Speaker 1: to try to get out of the situation. And we
- 45:33Speaker 1: will bring that moment in. Into part two.
- 45:39Speaker 4: That's why they pay the big bucks. What a tease.
- 45:41Speaker 1: Why we pay the big bucks. Who is the creative team?
- 45:47Speaker 1: Yukon Jack pays me. Thank you for listening. And we
- 45:51Speaker 1: will continue.
- 45:52Speaker 2: I'm Richard Buzzball. I've been the executive producer of this
- 45:55Speaker 2: show for eight years. And yikes. My money's in the toilet.
- 46:02Speaker 1: Well, I think Richard Buzzball... Why does his room smell
- 46:04Speaker 1: like cat shit? needs to.
- 46:07Speaker 4: Buckle up your shoes.
