Latest / Two Cents: We See Scary Movies / Villains (2019) Movie Review | Dark Comedy Meets Home Invasion Horror
Transcript
- 0:00Welcome to Two Cents. We See Scary Movies, the podcast
- 0:03where we break into horror 1 theme at a time.
- 0:05This month we've been kicking in the doors of home invasion
- 0:08horror, because apparently there's no safer place to be
- 0:11terrified than your own living room.
- 0:13I'm Talon, the kind of person who'd break into a stranger's
- 0:16house, get distracted by a weird doll collection, accidentally
- 0:19trigger a death trap, and somehow blame the thermostat.
- 0:23My Co host is Dan, who would probably offer the intruders a
- 0:26drink, a monologue, and maybe even a creepy secret from his
- 0:29basement, just to keep things interesting.
- 0:32This week, we're capping off our Home is Where the horror is
- 0:34theme with Villains, a movie that asks the important
- 0:38questions. What happens when the burglars
- 0:40break into the wrong house and it turns out the homeowners are
- 0:44way more unhinged? Let's get into it.
- 0:52All right, so as stated as Villains from 2019, it's a dark
- 0:57comedy. Still falls into the horror
- 0:59category. Humor throughout the whole
- 1:02thing, which I absolutely love. So was your vehicle driving down
- 1:06the road? We hear a guy and a girl
- 1:09talking. Just random stuff like this is
- 1:12the last time, we'll never do it again.
- 1:14The girl seems nervous and Mail is speaking about Florida and
- 1:19how they're going to like it there.
- 1:21He's trying to pump her up by giving her nice vision to
- 1:25Florida and look, this is the last time they're going to do
- 1:27this and everything is going to be OK.
- 1:31Then the movie cuts in and we see a girl having a Unicorn mask
- 1:37on going into a store. Then we see a guy with a pigeon
- 1:41mask trying to rob the store, but they're botching the whole
- 1:45thing. They're super nice about it too.
- 1:47Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Like the politest robbers you'll
- 1:50ever come. Across it's.
- 1:52Just a calamity of errors, like they're falling over one another
- 1:56and the cashier is just staring at them like what the Hell's
- 1:59going on? The guy in the pigeon mask can't
- 2:02get the register open and she suggests buying something so he
- 2:07tries it and he's able to pop the register.
- 2:10They end up leaving the store. She comes back in one more time
- 2:13and gives an awkward threat like she's holding the gun in a weird
- 2:17way. Like it's you can't take her
- 2:19seriously off. Like don't follow us.
- 2:21This scene here, the way their energy was in this scene and
- 2:26almost throughout the rest of the movie, it gave me the couple
- 2:31who were about to rob the restaurant in Pulp Fiction
- 2:34vibes. They had that kind of energy.
- 2:36They were very lovey dovey. They're very into each other.
- 2:39They were very happy and excited and fun almost.
- 2:43But they they definitely had that vibe about them and held
- 2:48that throughout the whole movie. They were robbing the place and
- 2:51there was the guy behind the register and another guy.
- 2:53She was trying to handle one guy and the bad guy was trying to
- 2:57handle the register guy. They were super nice about it,
- 3:00almost funny. It was very high energy and it
- 3:04was kind of cute actually, in a weird way.
- 3:07But they totally reminded me of the couple from Pulp Fiction.
- 3:10So they're driving down the road and they're hyped from all the
- 3:13adrenaline and the excitement about the money that they got.
- 3:17Later on, we learned that the guy's name's Mickey.
- 3:20He's remembering himself being way more of a badass than he
- 3:23actually was. He was like, yo, did you see me
- 3:26come in and break in and I was doing all this.
- 3:28He was flopping over himself like a fish out of water.
- 3:31She is all about having sex while they're driving and he's
- 3:35like, let's wait until we get further away because we just
- 3:38robbed the store. As they're going down the road,
- 3:42the car comes to a halt. She pops her head up like,
- 3:46what's going on? We find out that they just ran
- 3:49out of gas. She makes the observation that,
- 3:51you know, we just robbed a store and we ran out of.
- 3:53Gas. I said the same thing.
- 3:55I was just, I was like, you were just at a convenience store with
- 3:58gas. Why didn't you?
- 4:00Do right, get gas, or at least gas up before you got to rob a
- 4:02place. You got to be prepared.
- 4:05It just goes to show that even though they're trying to rob
- 4:07people, they're not very well equipped because they don't know
- 4:12how to plan ahead. Jules suggests that they go find
- 4:15another car. He he scoffs at the idea.
- 4:18Like, where are we going to find a car in the middle of nowhere?
- 4:21Because that's where it looks like they're where they are.
- 4:23Yeah. They're surrounded by woods.
- 4:24Yeah, and they argue a little bit.
- 4:27Mickey gets out of the car and he starts walking.
- 4:29She yells at him to stop and confronts him, tells him to get
- 4:33on the ground. She calms him with her hair.
- 4:36She's just like, rubbing her hair across his face.
- 4:39And then there's this really weird scene where you see her
- 4:42face and his face and they just are staring at each other.
- 4:46And she says she loves them. And he's all like, I know, like
- 4:50a Han Solo throwback. She's like, you need a car wash?
- 4:53I was like, what is she talking about?
- 4:54Yeah, that's right. He lays down and she bends over
- 4:57him. Her hair's hanging down over his
- 4:59face. And she moves her hair back and
- 5:01forth. And I was like, oh, that's cute.
- 5:02What a good idea. And it is a weird look because
- 5:05when you see it from her point of view where you see his face,
- 5:08it's almost like a surreal moment.
- 5:11It's not her hair. It looks like it's almost kind
- 5:14of golden angelic view to it where it's colored and.
- 5:17And when you look at her, you're you're looking fluffy.
- 5:19Yeah. And when you look at from his
- 5:21point of view at her, you see her looking over top of him and
- 5:25her face almost looks angelic. She actually, throughout the
- 5:27movie reminded me of what a young Gwen Stefani looked like.
- 5:32That's what she reminded me of. But yeah, I thought it was
- 5:34really funny though. She called it a car wash.
- 5:36I was like, Oh yeah, it is like a car wash.
- 5:38So when they done the car wash, she looks up and he sees a
- 5:43mailbox down the road and he's like, Oh my God, you're like a
- 5:46hawk woman because you can see things.
- 5:49All you gotta do is look down the street and there's a
- 5:51mailbox. Yeah, they really compliment
- 5:53each other a lot. There there's a lot of
- 5:56supporting things going on between.
- 5:58They must have just started dating.
- 6:01It makes you wonder if they're in the honeymoon period of
- 6:03dating where everything is all like sugar cones.
- 6:06And everything you do is amazing.
- 6:07Flies, right, You know. Oh, you farted.
- 6:10That's so cute. So they end up walking towards
- 6:14the house that the mailbox belongs to.
- 6:16And it's a very nice house. Yeah.
- 6:18It's set off into the woods a little bit, looking around the
- 6:22house, trying to see if they can get in.
- 6:24But all the doors and windows are locked.
- 6:26Or she finds a crowbar conveniently laying around that
- 6:29crowbar. Did they have the crowbar?
- 6:31I thought they. Found.
- 6:31No. They used it at the gas station
- 6:33at the convenience store. That was her tool to be
- 6:36threatening. I guess it's one of those things
- 6:38where I'm trying to type and watch at the same time, so I
- 6:40thought she had a gun in the. Store no to that crowbar.
- 6:43She had the crowbar but he ends up pulling out a hairpin to try
- 6:47to pick the lock. He's having trouble and she's
- 6:49like let's just get this over with.
- 6:51He ends up picking the lock but it's dead bolted.
- 6:54She gives her the crowbar. They end up breaking in and
- 6:58they're cautiously walking through the house.
- 7:00Mickey goes into the dining room and he's just like randomly
- 7:03throwing stuff on the floor out of the drawers.
- 7:05Yeah, he goes into the kitchen and checks that out.
- 7:08At this point they're just rummaging through looking for.
- 7:11Whatever the keys the car. Wasn't the keys to.
- 7:14Yeah, because before they before they went into the house, they
- 7:17looked in the windows of the garage and there's a car in
- 7:19there. So they're like, oh, we'll just
- 7:21take their car. They're rummaging through the
- 7:23house trying to find the keys. So looking for the keys to the
- 7:26car, during one of his searches in the dining room, he finds a
- 7:30camcorder. He's just looking at it and he
- 7:33throws it over his shoulder. The side screen pops open and it
- 7:36miraculously turns itself on and you see two people tied to a
- 7:40chair, bound and gagged and then flopping around.
- 7:44They don't really notice. Even though they're screaming.
- 7:46Right, as far as they're concerned, all they did was
- 7:48throw the camera over his shoulder, and that was Jewels
- 7:51ends up getting herself a bowl of Shredded Wheat.
- 7:54Which was? She was hungry.
- 7:55That's true, breaking into shit, it's hard work.
- 7:59So she ends up asking Mickey if he found anything and he said
- 8:03that he couldn't find any keys. So she throws the bowl over her
- 8:06shoulder, not her house through. So they're looking for a Plan B,
- 8:10what else they can do. She decides they need a word of
- 8:14quote. Creative boost, which is
- 8:16basically drugs, ends up talking about siphoning gas from the car
- 8:20in the garage and bring it back to their car.
- 8:25She thinks it's a great idea, so much so that she wants to fuck.
- 8:28Him every time he has a great idea.
- 8:30She just wants to fuck. Right.
- 8:31Apparently that's her love language.
- 8:33Like she gets real turned on by great things that he does.
- 8:36I want to say something about them looking for these keys.
- 8:40So they're looking all over the place for these keys except for
- 8:43the garage where the car is. And not that they're necessarily
- 8:48going to have the keys in the car, but they never thought to
- 8:50look in there. The guy that owns the house does
- 8:52tell you it's a half a mile from the main road, so it's another
- 8:54mile out to any major road to live that far back, nobody's
- 8:59around you. They could just keep their car
- 9:01in the garage with the keys in it and be done with it anyway.
- 9:05They never looked in the garage for the keys potentially still
- 9:09being in the car, which I thought was odd and they also
- 9:11dumped on the garage for this other thing.
- 9:13But go ahead and tell what they're doing.
- 9:14I was thinking that maybe they could have hot wired the car,
- 9:17but as disorganized as they were, they probably wouldn't
- 9:20know. How to?
- 9:20I was surprised that he knew how to pick locks.
- 9:22Oh yeah, 'cause they came off as not overly.
- 9:26Highly, highly inexperienced. Yeah, like they may not be dumb,
- 9:30but they don't feel like they're crook smart, you know, criminal
- 9:33smart. I was shocked when he could pick
- 9:35that lock. So he.
- 9:37Denies her and. Right.
- 9:40And says that he needs a hose to be able to siphon.
- 9:44So he starts to go into the basement and you can see that
- 9:47he's visibly scared to get. That the light doesn't work, the
- 9:50light will come on. But again, I thought why
- 9:52wouldn't you first try the garage?
- 9:54If I had a hose, I'd have in my garage right out my basement
- 9:57unless I had a walk out basement with the hose in the back.
- 9:59But it's like, try the garage. What's wrong with this garage?
- 10:02He's looking. Down and he's really hesitant
- 10:05about going down and Jules steps beside him and she looks down
- 10:09and she's like, oh, you know, it's really creepy and he's
- 10:13trying to be the macho man At this point.
- 10:14It's like, oh, there's nothing to be scared of.
- 10:17He's petrified, being the big man that he is, Convinces her to
- 10:20go with him because he doesn't want to leave her unattended
- 10:24upstairs because he's concerned for her safety.
- 10:27Which means I don't want to go downstairs alone, so come with.
- 10:30Me right? As it looking through the
- 10:31basement states that it smells like mold so they're covering
- 10:34their nose as they walk. You through which I thought was
- 10:36funny because you still have to breathe through your mouth.
- 10:39Right, so Mickey finds a flashlight off to the side and
- 10:42he picks it up and a God damn Billy Bass scares the shit out.
- 10:46You know those Billy Basses I hated?
- 10:50Those things existed until this movie.
- 10:52You didn't know the things. No, I forgot.
- 10:54Oh, you forgot the exists. I was going to say holy shit, a
- 10:57big part of the night I. Don't know if they can get away
- 10:59from that. Early 2000s.
- 11:00Yeah, No. They go back to Mickey as he's
- 11:03walking around and he's getting freaked out in the basement and
- 11:07asks for her, and she comes barreling out on a tricycle like
- 11:11a jigsaw, and he gets scared because he wasn't expecting it
- 11:17at that point. They both turn around to the
- 11:19corner and scream, and we see a little girl that shackled in the
- 11:24basement like this big shame, and it's wrapped around her leg.
- 11:28Jules is asking her a bunch of questions and she's just kind of
- 11:31staring there. So she's standing there, but
- 11:34she's not answering any questions.
- 11:36I'm just staring. Like garlic?
- 11:38Creepy. Jules wants to save her.
- 11:40Mickey wants nothing to do with it, just wants to get the car
- 11:44keys and go right. Jules yells at him, saying what
- 11:48are you, some kind of monster? He begrudgingly agrees to save
- 11:51her and they're trying to figure out how to pick the lock.
- 11:55He says he can't, but they can try to get her chains over the
- 12:00pole, cut them up or cut the pole, ever.
- 12:04And the girls still staring at them.
- 12:07The hell are you people? They go back to the kitchen
- 12:10looking for something that they could use to help her get out.
- 12:14As they're looking through the kitchen, another couple walks in
- 12:18and looking at them. And I would say that the guy
- 12:22kind of looks like Clark Gable. Yeah, the older style movies.
- 12:27And she's fitting the 1950s style homemaker.
- 12:31Yeah, they're very old fashioned.
- 12:33And she appears to have a baby in her.
- 12:36Arms. Yeah, it's all wrapped up.
- 12:37Yeah. And Mickey and Jules sees them
- 12:41out for a minute and Mickey pulls out a gun.
- 12:44The guy states they can have their money.
- 12:46Jules is like, we don't want your money.
- 12:47And he's like, well, OK, you know, then if you're keen on
- 12:51that knife. You can keep.
- 12:52That too. Mickey tosses it and asks if
- 12:55it's their house. The guy says yes, and Mickey
- 12:59asks him a little bit more, like, you know, is it this a
- 13:01lease or rental? Do you own it?
- 13:03Guys Like yeah, we own it. And Jules is asking why there's
- 13:06a little girl chained in the basement and he says it's just
- 13:09their daughter. Jules says that they're going to
- 13:12take the the girl with her, and Mickey also says that they're
- 13:16going to take their car too. The woman says that they just
- 13:20can't come in and run amok in their house, and Jules asks if
- 13:23they have a cage for the baby she's holding.
- 13:26The guy says that they can come up with a compromise.
- 13:29Did you feel like they were out and just showed up or do you
- 13:32feel like they were in another part of the house all this time
- 13:35and then came downstairs? I think.
- 13:37They were in the other part of the house because they only had
- 13:40the one view. Yes, that's where I was like,
- 13:41wait, where's their other car? Where were they all this?
- 13:45So I was like, they must have been just in another part of the
- 13:47house that whole time that they were ransacking at the
- 13:49beginning, and they never came downstairs.
- 13:52But yeah, they only had the one car.
- 13:54Right. And unless they were coming back
- 13:56from a walk. Possibly.
- 13:57Or this is what they do, right? Camcorder, This could be
- 14:01something that they just let them right, let them have a
- 14:04false sense of security and then come out that's true because of
- 14:07what they do later on. So the next scene, the guy pours
- 14:10a drink from Mickey Scotch and he offers Jules summit.
- 14:13She says no, and they're just making small talk over drinks.
- 14:17And Mickey still has the gun trained on the guy and the girl.
- 14:22And he's being very diplomatic. He's very pleasant through the
- 14:26whole thing, right? He's very accommodating.
- 14:29Yes. Jules is getting upset.
- 14:31The man is like, just state your case.
- 14:33Tell us what you want, tell us what you need.
- 14:36The guy wants to explain to him what's going on and Mickey's a
- 14:41goal for, you know, tell us, tell us your story.
- 14:43And he starts going to his past of being a salesman and how
- 14:48observant he is and how good of a salesman he is as a result of
- 14:51his observing behavior. He pegs them both as being
- 14:56thieves based on the car they saw on the road and probably
- 14:59walking at some point because they mentioned the broken down
- 15:01car. So that's how he pegs them as
- 15:04being thieves. He's like, you know, I just
- 15:06don't want my daughter taken. They can take the car and leave
- 15:10the daughter and he'll report it missing so they have time to get
- 15:14away, ditch it, do whatever they need to do.
- 15:17And he'll just let bygones be bygones in that case.
- 15:20And then you have a fair chance to get away.
- 15:23If you take my daughter, I'll have to call the police right
- 15:26away and then you'll be bagged immediately.
- 15:28He says, wouldn't it be great if you would just be able to go all
- 15:33proud of himself? He's like, how did I do, you
- 15:36know, and talking about them, right.
- 15:37And Mickey states, Hey, we haven't introduced ourselves as
- 15:41if you break into someone's house and you want to break
- 15:44bread with them and be like, hey, I'm so and so.
- 15:46But that's what they do, Mickey. This is where we learn Mickey's
- 15:49name. He's like, I'm Mickey and this
- 15:52is Jules. The man states his name is
- 15:54George, and the wife's name is Gloria.
- 15:56Mickey was talking about how impressed he was with George's
- 15:59reading of people. And he's like, I want to give it
- 16:01a shot now. Mickey's like, well, based on
- 16:04your clothes and the house you're in, you're rich, right?
- 16:07It's like, no shit. The house that they have and the
- 16:09clothes that they wearing, they're very well off.
- 16:11It's at least that's the appearance, right?
- 16:14And he ends up making a comment on an old TV that they have.
- 16:17He's like, you guys are rich, but you have this old hunk of
- 16:19junk sitting in your house. And that TV also had a very
- 16:221950s, sixties feel to it. It was just an old looking TV.
- 16:28Oh yeah. Absolutely.
- 16:29Mickey's like the biggest issue that we have is the little girl
- 16:33in the basement, he says. He tells George that he and him
- 16:37will go get her free and he sees that her because George doesn't
- 16:41want the cops knowing he has a kid locked up in the basement
- 16:45and George is looking at him with a little smug grid on his
- 16:49face. You got me?
- 16:50Yeah, that. Mickey suggests George get the
- 16:53keys. Georgia unlocks the chain and
- 16:56says he's sorry that Daddy will always love her.
- 16:59Mickey and Jules is telling her to come with them and she
- 17:02doesn't move. She's just standing.
- 17:04Like Stockholm syndrome sort. Mickey still has the gun on
- 17:07George while he's trying to convince the girl to go with
- 17:10him. Then the girl bites his hand
- 17:12when he looks away, and George hits him.
- 17:14Because the whole time this was going on in the scene, I
- 17:17thought, OK, there's something about this girl.
- 17:19I thought maybe the reason they had her chained because she
- 17:22grows fangs and eats people. That was where I thought it was
- 17:25going. Some sort of monster movie?
- 17:27I thought it was going to go in that direction.
- 17:29I was like, she bit him, but it was just normal.
- 17:31Like she just bit him like a regular person would write you.
- 17:33And I was like, oh, OK, so they're normal.
- 17:36That's not where we're going. I was a little disappointed.
- 17:38But Mickey ends up falling over because where George hit him,
- 17:42and as he's falling, he has a flashback to Florida or flash
- 17:46forward. Whichever way he's going through
- 17:50this flashback, you can hear George and Gloria's voice and
- 17:53you don't really know exactly what they're talking about.
- 17:56It almost sounded like or she could have been pregnant, or
- 18:00they could be talking about murder.
- 18:03All we know is, whatever it is, it's something that would make
- 18:06Gloria very happy. Yeah, she was saying something
- 18:08about it's been a long time and I'd like to, I'd like to.
- 18:12It definitely had this, like whatever they were going to do
- 18:14was going to please Gloria tremendously.
- 18:17So Mickey wakes up and he's chained to a bed and he's
- 18:20yelling for jewels. We can hear Gloria in the
- 18:24bathroom and we see her through a crack in the door.
- 18:27It was kind of like, what do they call those things?
- 18:30There wasn't like a regular looking door.
- 18:32It was almost like panels. A trifold panel thing.
- 18:36Like a Japanese scene. Yeah.
- 18:39Or, or like you said, it's escaping you.
- 18:41Words. There's a word.
- 18:42For it, but it's like a partition that has three panels
- 18:44and they fold and it kind of that look to it.
- 18:47So you see her and she's putting on some purple clothing, and
- 18:50then there's a wig that she lifts up as she's talking.
- 18:53So Mickey realizes that Gloria is in the bathroom and he's
- 18:57yelling at her, and he swears Gloria's yelling at him not to
- 19:01swear at me. She does not like bad words, no.
- 19:05She does not like bad words about if he wants to see Jules
- 19:08again he's got to be a good boy, and she explained that he's
- 19:12going to take him to a place just for the two of them.
- 19:15She says George wanted to put him down but she said no.
- 19:18And Mickey states that if they don't let him go, he'll, you
- 19:22know. He starts to say the F word but
- 19:26she starts maniacally laughing at him.
- 19:28Right, stops him in his tracks. And now we're back at the little
- 19:33girl down in the basement and Jules is trained across from her
- 19:37and asking her why she bit Mickey.
- 19:40The girl doesn't answer. Jules yells at her to answer and
- 19:44the girl just sits there. And we're back at Gloria and
- 19:47Mickey. She puts on a record and that's
- 19:50when we see her black wig and her purple clothes more closely.
- 19:55She looks a lot different than her blonde homemaker.
- 19:58Right. She almost has not a flapper
- 20:01look. Her hair has that kind of
- 20:02flappery look to it. But her clothing, she's got the
- 20:05long gloves, almost like a lounge singer from back in the
- 20:0850s or whatever, and that kind of dress.
- 20:11So she starts doing a strip tease from Mickey and he's
- 20:14weirded out by it. Like he's just looking at it
- 20:16like. Right.
- 20:18And she also lays on top of them.
- 20:21She says he's not supposed to see mommy like this.
- 20:24Is a little creepy all together. And she reaches down and finds
- 20:28that there is no erection popping up and she is comes
- 20:32upset about it. She starts in with the self
- 20:35esteem. It's like oh you don't find me
- 20:36pretty. And she's like I have for
- 20:37everything we've done for you and the dance and how the room
- 20:41was made-up and everything I did to make myself look pretty for.
- 20:44You right. And he's trying to explain
- 20:46himself like, no, that's not it. And he's like, just Nope, you're
- 20:50a bad boy. Slaps him.
- 20:51And she starts choking him. She's like, you know, I can take
- 20:54everything away from you and stops and says, if you didn't
- 20:57want all the things she can give.
- 20:59And she stops midway and leaves. And he's like, confused, like,
- 21:03what the hell are you talking about?
- 21:04Right. You know, that's how that
- 21:08awkward scene ends. She's like, you know, everything
- 21:10I can do for you. Well, and he's like, well what?
- 21:13What the hell? And so now he's like.
- 21:15We're back in the basement, the little girls playing with a toy
- 21:18horse, and Jules is trying to talk to her about her childhood
- 21:21and how she used to like horses. Alicia like playing with one of
- 21:25her plastic horses and the girls just looking down at her toy.
- 21:30Now we're back at Gloria and Mickey and she's throwing him
- 21:33old pictures of her and George. Mickey at this point is
- 21:38completely entertaining her, right?
- 21:40Like she's out of the get up that she was in.
- 21:42He's completely. Entertained.
- 21:44He's figured it out. He's like, Oh my God, you were
- 21:46so pretty. There appears to be an old photo
- 21:48of a boy and Mickey asks about him and she's like, oh, that's
- 21:52Ethan. He's asleep in his crib and
- 21:55Mickey looks at her. Weird, all right, Because these
- 21:57are old actors, right? And she is continuing to feign
- 22:01interest in the photos and keeps asking about them.
- 22:04She ended up talking about how her and George would dance the
- 22:07night away together as if they're the only ones in the
- 22:10world that. She says that he told her one
- 22:12time that they were the only two real things in the world and
- 22:15everything else was cardboard and plaything right, which she
- 22:19thought was the sweetest thing in the world, so romantic.
- 22:23During the according, she states that he came over to warehouse
- 22:26one night, asked if she could come with them.
- 22:30She agreed and she shows a picture and she said this is the
- 22:33last picture we took in my father's home.
- 22:36Mickey's looking at it closely and it shows a close up.
- 22:40When you look at it closely, you can see an arm hanging down from
- 22:43a bed or a chair right with blood pooled all over the floor
- 22:47underneath it, suggesting they killed her father.
- 22:51Mickey's visibly creeped out again and she starts going on.
- 22:55Holly never had children but there's still time and I thought
- 23:00that was weird because she says that she has a child but then
- 23:04she says they've never had children.
- 23:05So like her mental state seems to flip flop or that was just a
- 23:09plot hole that wasn't plugged? In I think she's just crazy.
- 23:14And it's funny how these two people found each other, right?
- 23:16How did you find each other? Maybe.
- 23:18Maybe they shared some time at a institution.
- 23:21Maybe. Maybe that's how they actually
- 23:22met. So she puts the book away and
- 23:24missed Mickey, asks if they can talk further and she's like, Oh
- 23:27yeah, that's fine, what's on your mind?
- 23:29He says Hugh. And he goes on to say that the
- 23:31damn she performed for him has them all flustered and she's
- 23:34like, well, you weren't excited then.
- 23:36He's like, you know, I know, but sometimes that happens when I'm
- 23:39too wound up and turned on, right?
- 23:41And that he was nervous and feels more comfortable now and
- 23:45feels that they're meant to do it.
- 23:47He says she wants to, but Mickey then says that he knows he was
- 23:51bad, offers one more chance if she wants him.
- 23:55Right. She looks at him and then kiss
- 23:57and she's taken aback for a second and then kiss some more.
- 24:01She goes down his chest and he's looking completely skeezed out
- 24:05like Oh my God this is so gross. She comes back up and Gloria
- 24:11feels that he's getting turned on and he asks to touch her and
- 24:15if he can have one of his handcuffs unlocked.
- 24:19She kisses him more. She doesn't end up unlocking one
- 24:22hand and she starts kissing him more.
- 24:25He reaches up, grabs her by the back of the head and the hair,
- 24:30and he ends up throwing her onto the floor really hard and he
- 24:34ends up unlocking himself. Yeah, and it was funny because
- 24:37the thing that he used to convince her, because she wasn't
- 24:40going to at first, but what he finally does to convince her to
- 24:44unlock his cuffs is he calls her mommy.
- 24:49So she's all turned on. And so he runs through the door.
- 24:52Gloria is shouting for George and gets to the door.
- 24:56Downstairs, a gunshot rings out above and to the side of his
- 25:00head. George asks him where he's going
- 25:04and he's to get back upstairs. Mickey hesitates and George is
- 25:08like hey, you know I'm a crack shot and I missed on purpose so
- 25:12get up here. Mickey gradually goes upstairs.
- 25:16They're outside the room that they were in.
- 25:18Mickey asks if him and Jules can be let go.
- 25:21You can hear Gloria crying in the room and George scolds him
- 25:25for making a woman cry and that he would blow his brains out if
- 25:30he had any. Gloria yells out that Mickey hit
- 25:32her head and Mickey again asks to be let go.
- 25:36George says one thing for sure and shoots him in the leg.
- 25:40Mickey yells out in pain. Jules can hear and yells for him
- 25:44and the little girl looks up from her horses.
- 25:47George tells him to stop being a Pansy and throws a towel at him.
- 25:51The girl looks up and sees George dragging Mickey to the
- 25:54pole Jules is tied to. Apparently, he dragged him all
- 25:57the way down to the basement. And Jules asks George, what did
- 26:01you do? He's like, I shot him.
- 26:03And he'll do the same if she doesn't stay quiet.
- 26:07He's all nonchalant about it, like, yeah, I shot him.
- 26:09What do you think I did? Yeah.
- 26:11And this is where we learned that the little girl's name is
- 26:14Sweetie Pie. George tells Sweetie Pie to
- 26:17watch them. She nods.
- 26:18Jules and Mickey are talking about leaving, trying to figure
- 26:22out their plan even though they're handcuffed to a hole.
- 26:24And Mickey ends up yelling at Sweetie, you know, saying fuck
- 26:28you because you're the reason why I'm here.
- 26:30And Jules is trying to convince him it's not his fault.
- 26:33And Mickey is like, well, did you see what she did, you know,
- 26:37referring to her biting him And Jules, like, you know, she's not
- 26:41sure what she's doing. She doesn't know what she's
- 26:43doing. The girl's about 7 or 8 years
- 26:47old, right? She knows what she's doing.
- 26:49I'd say somewhere in there. So now we see that broken down
- 26:51car and we hear a tow truck as it comes into frame.
- 26:55Honestly, I don't think that scene was really needed because
- 26:59it was just like a 10 second scene, didn't really need to be
- 27:02there. Yeah.
- 27:02That's, I think one of the things that we could assume is
- 27:05that it got towed or it could have been explained later on
- 27:09with the situation that we are going to be going into later.
- 27:13Yeah, because I was going to say the only thing that would make
- 27:16we need to know or what comes up later.
- 27:18And there's this car on the side of the road, which I'm surprised
- 27:22maybe it's a semi OK travelled Rd.
- 27:24But it doesn't feel like it's a big it's definitely on a big
- 27:27road and it's I can't imagine it's travel too much, but.
- 27:31So we're back to Mickey and Jules and he's talking about
- 27:35living on the beach and they discussed the plans all while
- 27:38being chained in the basement because they have no idea if
- 27:41they're getting out or not. This could be just a way of them
- 27:43trying to get their mind off the situation and giving them some
- 27:48hope. He's just trying to lay out this
- 27:49beautiful situation that they can go into.
- 27:52They're basically talking about when they get to Florida because
- 27:56the reason they robbed the gas station is they just needed
- 27:58enough money to get all the way to Florida.
- 28:00And then once they got to Florida, they were going to
- 28:01start collecting shells and different things on the beach
- 28:05and rocks and then paint them or just find colorful ones,
- 28:09something they were going to sell these seashells by the
- 28:12seashore. And that was their, that was
- 28:14their plan for the rest of their lives.
- 28:17At first when they're talking. About that I thought you were
- 28:20talking about. Stealing stuff and selling it.
- 28:23Then she starts talking about this huge empire that she wants
- 28:26to start. Maybe they're not talking about
- 28:28stealing stuff because you can't make a legitimate business out
- 28:31of stealing stuff from people and reselling it.
- 28:34Well, I think you're right. He did start off by talking
- 28:37about stealing things and then reselling them.
- 28:40I can't remember exactly how. Their ultimate business.
- 28:42Seashells aren't really worth all them.
- 28:44I was like, OK, be honest what other people can just say.
- 28:47So as they're talking, Jules is grinding her teeth, and Mickey's
- 28:52giving her a hard time about it, like, hey, you know you're going
- 28:54to destroy your enamel. Yeah, it's funny because she has
- 28:57a tongue ring and it's the barbell.
- 29:01She keeps pulling it out between clicking it against her teeth.
- 29:04This is the second time he said something to her.
- 29:05I thought it was hilarious because he's so worried about
- 29:09her tooth enamel. The things they worry about are
- 29:12so funny because here they are robbing convenience stores and
- 29:16breaking into people's houses but they're But he's so
- 29:18concerned about her well-being and health.
- 29:20She's the same way. I just thought it was hilarious
- 29:22messing around with her tongue ring and her teeth because he's
- 29:24worried about her enamel. He ends up having an epiphany
- 29:28about Jules's tongue ring. He asks.
- 29:31Hey, can you get your tongue ring out?
- 29:33We can use it to pick the handcuffs.
- 29:36Jules is hesitant about the idea, but he ends up convincing
- 29:39her to do it and Jules is trying to work it out.
- 29:43She's, he tried, he wanted her to do it.
- 29:45He doesn't put it in front of her teeth and use her teeth and
- 29:48pull her tongue back as she's pulling with her teeth to yank
- 29:52it out. And of course she's having a
- 29:53hard time, which I would too. But yeah, she's trying to pull
- 29:57it out that way. It's whole scene.
- 29:59I had my ears. I had my fingers in my ears, and
- 30:03then I had two fingers in my my index fingers or my ears.
- 30:06And then I had the other fingers over my eyes, but just enough
- 30:09space to see. So I was like, Oh my God, I
- 30:11don't want to hear or see this happen.
- 30:13Sweet. Pea is watching this whole thing
- 30:15going down and Jules is having difficulty saying, doesn't think
- 30:18she's strong enough. And Mickey's like, Oh no, it's a
- 30:21strong tongue. It's the best tongue, the
- 30:23greatest tongue. You've never seen a tongue quite
- 30:26this strong before. I was expecting him to say that
- 30:30it's like the strongest muscle in the whole body, but.
- 30:33He just says it's a strong tongue.
- 30:35And I just thought that was a really random supportive thing
- 30:38that they do. Oh no, your tongue is super
- 30:40strong. Mickey suggests that they try to
- 30:42face each other. He's explaining that I'll try to
- 30:45grab your piercing with my teeth.
- 30:48She's like hell. Nah, he convinces her.
- 30:52But she's like, OK, sweet peas watching still.
- 30:55And she ends up covering her eyes because she knows this is
- 30:57going to suck. Smart girl.
- 30:59So they were able to face each other in that position and it
- 31:04was almost like they were kissing.
- 31:06She has her tongue in his mouth and he puts his teeth around it
- 31:10ends up yanking her tongue. It looks painful At that second
- 31:15George comes in with food. Mickey had just enough time to
- 31:18be able to put the tongue ring in his mouth and hide it.
- 31:21George ends up pushing Mickey to eat and Mickey says no.
- 31:26He tries a couple times and Mickey still says no.
- 31:29Jules is you know, her mouth is completely shut because you
- 31:34know, God knows what kind of mess that is.
- 31:36But he immediately backs off. George is going to have to eat
- 31:40sooner or later anyway and he ends up leaving.
- 31:43At this point Jules spits out the blood that was in her mouth.
- 31:45Mickey's drops the the tongue ring into his hand and The thing
- 31:50is is he's having trouble unlocking the handcuffs.
- 31:53Jules is not impressed with what's going on.
- 31:56After a few tries he ends up getting Jules handcuffs unlocked
- 32:02and she's all happy and kissing his face.
- 32:04She wasn't trying to fuck him this time but she was kissing
- 32:07his face. At that point he's trying to
- 32:09tell Jules how to pop his lock and as she's trying she end up
- 32:14breaking the tongue ring off into the cuffs.
- 32:18Jewel starts beating herself up like Oh my God I screwed up.
- 32:22Mickey's super supportive telling her my leg is messed up
- 32:25anyway so you're good everything's fine.
- 32:29He's being really cool about the whole thing.
- 32:32Sweaty pie gets their attention and should they look over and
- 32:35she points and we see a laundry sheet.
- 32:38Jewels, you know, expresses excitement by saying holy shit.
- 32:43Mickey asks if she can get up the shoot.
- 32:46Mickey's like, oh, I love you. Jules is now all of Han Solo and
- 32:50says I know. Jules starts going up the shoot.
- 32:54I have absolutely no idea how she's doing this.
- 32:58Yeah, it's not like it was a big shoot.
- 33:01When you looked at the shoot, it didn't look nearly as big as
- 33:04when she got in the shoot, because when she got in the
- 33:07shoot, and of course they show you like the shoot doesn't have
- 33:09a front on it, even though it does.
- 33:12You would think that she was literally just her hands and her
- 33:16toes of her shoes or feet and like they're like, she's got
- 33:20some super fucking strength. There is no fucking way she's
- 33:24hopping up. She was moving up that damn
- 33:26thing. She had amazing spider man
- 33:28skills. Yeah, maybe she had sticky web
- 33:31fingers and sticky web toes because she was basically spread
- 33:35out. Yeah, and it was.
- 33:36It didn't make sense. There isn't a lot of this
- 33:38movement I wouldn't complain about, but that was definitely
- 33:41one of those scenes where I'm like, that's a little too
- 33:43unrealistic. Right.
- 33:44It was very quiet, but she was quiet also doing it.
- 33:47Like she was able to be quiet going up it.
- 33:50So as she's going up, she's on the 1st floor, she can see
- 33:53Gloria and George doing dishes together.
- 33:56George is just saying, hey, you know, I'm going to take care of
- 33:59you and everything's going to be fine and everything's great and,
- 34:03you know, I'll take care of her. And I got the assumption that he
- 34:07was going to kill Jules at some point.
- 34:09Right. Yeah.
- 34:10And so they stopped doing the dishes and they just start
- 34:13dancing in the kitchen. Does.
- 34:14Makes no sense to me. She continues shimmying up to
- 34:18the second floor. And it appears that the ducks
- 34:21went into the hallway because she was in the hallway for a
- 34:25second. And then she ends up in the
- 34:27baby's room and she sees something in the crib.
- 34:30It takes her back for a second. And at this point, I thought it
- 34:34was going to be like a mummified corpse of a baby.
- 34:36That's. What I thought, I thought it was
- 34:38a dead baby. I was just like, so she.
- 34:41Picks it up and we see that it's an old doll.
- 34:45It's a male doll now. We see George downstairs in the
- 34:48basement beating Mickey as to where Jules went.
- 34:51Mickey's being sarcastic at criticizing his manhood.
- 34:56George states if he doesn't tell the way Jules is, he's not only
- 34:59going to kill him but he's going to make it hurt.
- 35:02Mickey says oh she's gone so give it up.
- 35:04George looks at sweetie pie. He's like oh what are we going
- 35:07to? What are we going to do with
- 35:08him? And she says nothing as usual,
- 35:11But George acknowledges as if she did like, oh, yeah, we could
- 35:15do that. But we're our back upstairs, and
- 35:17Jules is hiding in a closet. As Gloria comes into the room,
- 35:21she picks up the doll, holding it as if it's Rio was rocking it
- 35:24back and forth. We have a couple quick shots
- 35:27here between the two scenes. Now we're back to George and
- 35:31Mickey. George says he thinks Mickey is
- 35:34bluffing. And he really likes it when men
- 35:37try not to scream. George asked Sweeney Pie if she
- 35:41remembers the last one but states, yeah, you're too young
- 35:44to remember, but you're going to remember this one.
- 35:46And so he pulls out a knife and it goes to cut Mickey's ear off.
- 35:50Mickey says stop, Jules is going to the cops.
- 35:54They have a meet up spot. And if he doesn't make it to
- 35:57that spot, she's going to go to the cops.
- 35:59But if he makes it, they'll go on their way.
- 36:01Nobody wants the cops involved. Eat the kid, keep the car, we'll
- 36:05go on our way. George contemplates the
- 36:08situation and asks sweetie pie. Mickey says he doesn't care
- 36:12about the girl anymore because she's the reason why he's down
- 36:15there and she bit him so fuck her.
- 36:18As he's looking at her, George closes his knife.
- 36:21We're back to Gloria and Jules. Gloria's holding the doll as
- 36:25Jules looks on. Julia turns towards the closet
- 36:28and walks towards it. She doesn't get there because
- 36:31George ends up calling her to come downstairs because she
- 36:34needs to say goodbye to Mickey. Goes downstairs and George has a
- 36:38gun on Mickey and ask her if she has any last words for him.
- 36:42She says she wishes his things had ended differently.
- 36:46We're back to Jules looking in fear.
- 36:49George opens the door and says see you in hell.
- 36:53Jules runs out with the doll saying stop don't kill him.
- 36:56We have a slow MO scene of Gloria looking up with a big
- 36:59smile on her face, then it turns into a frown and Jewel says if
- 37:05you don't let Mickey go she'll smash the doll.
- 37:08Gloria pulls out a gun and shoots at Jules.
- 37:11He misses, but Jules drops the doll onto the floor and the head
- 37:15was porcelain so it breaks and shatters all over the floor.
- 37:18I was like, no. Not the baby.
- 37:21No, not necessarily the baby, but just like you know that
- 37:25Gloria is going to use real bad George.
- 37:27Still has the gun on them as Gloria picks up the doll pieces
- 37:31saying it'll be fine it's fine it'll be fine.
- 37:33George at this point is upset with the two kids asking what
- 37:37did I do to deserve you guys like why are you here?
- 37:42The next scene we see food in an oven and the oven Dings and
- 37:46Gloria pulls it out. George, Mickey and Jewels are at
- 37:49the dinner table. Mickey and Jewels are duct taped
- 37:52to a chair and George says cooking always calms Gloria, and
- 37:57the more stressed she is, the more in depth her dishes are.
- 38:00No, they were about to be murdered, right?
- 38:03Any other day of the life of these people.
- 38:06They're almost like they are a absolutely.
- 38:09That's how they are like, like nothing bad really happens.
- 38:12We can always figure it out and everything is the end of the
- 38:14episode. Everybody's happy.
- 38:15George relates a story saying, one time I spilled coffee on her
- 38:19bedspread and shit, I'm making a huge bundt cake.
- 38:22He tells them, you guys summoned up a banquet.
- 38:25George is eating one of the rolls and they both have one in
- 38:29front of them. And he's like, you know, oh, you
- 38:30know, these rolls are great working at the two.
- 38:33And I thought that that was just like an an ass way of saying,
- 38:39you know, hey, I can eat these rolls, You can't.
- 38:41But we learned later that wasn't the case.
- 38:44Jules asks why the little girl is downstairs.
- 38:46Like why sweet peas downstairs? He explains that Gloria wanted a
- 38:50child but wasn't able to, so he took things into his own hands.
- 38:55Jules asks if he kidnapped her. George avoids the question but
- 39:00indirectly answers it by saying you have to do what you have to
- 39:03do, especially when you get older.
- 39:06So he stated that Sweepy sad, reminding Gloria of what she
- 39:10couldn't have on her own. So Gloria asked him to get rid
- 39:14of her, and George said that he couldn't bring himself to do
- 39:17that. So we put her in the basement.
- 39:19So even though it looks like he's being mean, it's him being
- 39:23merciful to the little girl. I was also a little confused by
- 39:26this whole story because I felt like they were more interested
- 39:32in Mickey because he was male and could possibly get Gloria
- 39:36pregnant. But the way George is telling
- 39:39this story, it's like Gloria was the one that couldn't get
- 39:43pregnant, but Mickey at some point was like, oh, you're
- 39:45shooting blanks. So I was confused as to which
- 39:49one of them could not produce a child because the whole thing
- 39:54will I'll take care of her. And the fake baby was a boy and
- 39:57she wanted she wanted guys around because she was trying to
- 40:01get pregnant. It was a little confusing in
- 40:03this story because it made us sound like she couldn't get
- 40:05pregnant although. She but they also never would be
- 40:08able to have they also never they don't know directly said
- 40:11who couldn't have the child, whether it was both of them or
- 40:15one of the other, but they made you think that.
- 40:17Yeah, they didn't. One of them couldn't have kids,
- 40:19but they wouldn't let you know who.
- 40:21It was confusing. I'm also wondering if he brought
- 40:24it on himself saying he couldn't have kids, but it was actually
- 40:28her. He's saying that she couldn't
- 40:30have kids. So maybe the doctor said she
- 40:32couldn't have kids, but he fed into her delusion saying, well,
- 40:35I'm the one that can't have kids.
- 40:37So, you know, so this, there's a lot going on there.
- 40:40In this story, but in this story, he's making it sound like
- 40:42she couldn't have kids, which to me, I thought maybe because they
- 40:47do have that whole 1950s vibe about them and being a man, for
- 40:53him to not be able to have kids would make him less of a man on
- 40:57her that she can't have kids. But yeah, but what's his name
- 41:01was like, oh, you're shooting blanks or whatever?
- 41:03Yeah, it's going to be feeding each.
- 41:04Other's delusions blame me one or the other, but we don't know.
- 41:07It's really left up to the viewer to figure out that piece
- 41:10for themselves because it could go anyway.
- 41:12When George says he's being merciful, he says they haven't
- 41:16seen him be mean yet, even though he shot the guy in the
- 41:19leg and all the other stuff. Gloria brings the food over to
- 41:23the table and George is excited because it's shepherd's pie she
- 41:27serves. Everybody sits down and says
- 41:30Grace, Jules and Mickey are still duct tapes and Jules asks
- 41:34if they're going to kill them. Gloria says you haven't told
- 41:38them. George says they're not going to
- 41:40kill them. Despite their piss poor
- 41:42behavior, they feel that it doesn't make sense as people
- 41:46look for them. And he's like, I can certainly
- 41:49hide A body but there is DNA everywhere.
- 41:52Gloria is like, oh don't be disgusting with the DNA all over
- 41:55the place. I'm bound to miss something.
- 41:57So I'm going to be found. Is it my plan is that will leave
- 42:02the house like Lori and I will leave the house and wait 48
- 42:06hours and then call the cops. They'll come and get you.
- 42:10You might serve some time, but at least you'll still be alive.
- 42:14He's like, you might as well eat because you're going to be in
- 42:17these sheriffs for a few days. This is where we find that they
- 42:20can actually move their arms. When he was talking about the
- 42:22roles, I thought they couldn't move their arms at all.
- 42:25And he's being facetious, but turns out their arms were duct
- 42:29taped right? Weren't duct taped so much where
- 42:32they couldn't move their arm, just the shoulders and.
- 42:34Just the show. Arms Kenned, but they could move
- 42:37their elbow at that point. George is elated that they have
- 42:40their appetites that they're willing to heave at this point
- 42:42because they feel a little Connor and so Jules Jules ends
- 42:46up asking about screening more like what's going to happen to
- 42:48her. George is like the road isn't a
- 42:51place for a young girl. So when we call the police
- 42:54they'll find her a good place like an orphanage.
- 42:56She's like, I hear it's like 5 star hotels and we'll get the
- 43:00best treatment. I don't know where he's hearing
- 43:03that from, but from the orphanages.
- 43:05I know not that good. Gloria ends up asking Jules if
- 43:09she's upset about that plan and Jules is like, well, it's better
- 43:13than the basement, which I agree.
- 43:16Right. Gloria, do you remind me of my
- 43:17mother? Her name was Jules.
- 43:20Is your name Julia? Well, my mom's name was Julia
- 43:24and she had a good heart. You remind me of my mother was
- 43:27really sad. My mom ended up dying of cancer
- 43:30and it was a slow, painful death.
- 43:33But I was beside her the entire time and she's like, before she
- 43:37died, she told me to go to the closet because there was a
- 43:40package in there and it had a big bow.
- 43:42It was really pretty. When I opened the paper, it was
- 43:46a doll. And as she said that, she looks
- 43:49at Jules with a menacing look and a really creepy smile on her
- 43:52face, kind of like the Joker. And she's like, I was told that
- 43:55it was a magic doll, Gloria says.
- 43:57I was sad over the years where my mother had passed and I
- 44:01always had the doll. I always had Ethan referring to
- 44:04the doll. And she says she was right.
- 44:07The doll was magic. But you took her from me.
- 44:12At this point, Jules and Mickey, the ceiling starts to.
- 44:16So they're starting to feel woozy because from their
- 44:19perspective, everything is getting Wick away and muffled.
- 44:23Mickey's like, what's going on? George says, oh, you're going
- 44:27through a drug overdose. He's like, and by the way, you
- 44:30know, we lied about killing you. What we're going to do is you
- 44:33had like a ton of drugs in your bag because they had like a
- 44:37bowling ball bag of a bunch of drugs.
- 44:40What we're going to do is we're going to wait till you pass out
- 44:43and then we're going to inject you with the harder stuff.
- 44:45So it just looks like a couple junkies broke into our house and
- 44:50died a not so tragic death and nobody will look too hard into
- 44:54it because drugs were involved. Gloria and George start
- 44:57laughing. Mickey laughs too, but it's more
- 45:00because of the drugs than him finding it funny.
- 45:03Tim and Jules both passed out around the same time as they're
- 45:06going out. George is like, you must be
- 45:08stupid if you think we'd call the cops.
- 45:10At this point, the doorbell rings.
- 45:12Gloria and George look at each other, really confused.
- 45:15George gets up to see who it is, confused and annoyed at the same
- 45:19time. George opens the door with a gun
- 45:22behind his back and it's a police officer.
- 45:25He mentions that there was a robbery down the street and that
- 45:28they found the car in the road. This is where I feel like they
- 45:31could have said there was a car on the road and we had it towed.
- 45:35To have easily said. So he asked if anybody
- 45:37suspicious was around and George is like no, but if I come across
- 45:41anybody like that I'll let you know.
- 45:42The officer comments on the smell of dinner and he's like
- 45:45I'll get you back to that dinner that you have.
- 45:47And George starts to close the door but it's not closing
- 45:52properly. The officer asks if he's OK with
- 45:54the door. George looks down and we see
- 45:57where Mickey used the crowbar to get into the house and he's
- 46:01like, oh, it's been busted like that for months.
- 46:03I've been meaning to fix it. It was probably moving furniture
- 46:06and got caught or whatever. Right there.
- 46:09The story. Sounds flimsy and it was also
- 46:12funny because he's got caught bringing it into the house when
- 46:18that the way that wood was broken, it would have only done
- 46:22that if they were taking it out. That's the thing, I.
- 46:24And at this point, we do know that the cops name is Officer
- 46:27Wells. I forgot to mention that because
- 46:29he did introduce himself. When Officer Wells looks at the
- 46:32door frame, yeah, he's just like, oh, can I come around and
- 46:35take a look? The story is not clicking in his
- 46:38head. Like, this doesn't make sense.
- 46:40Gorgeous. Like, oh, no, no, you don't have
- 46:41to worry about it. We're fine.
- 46:43We never have any issues out here.
- 46:45Officer Wells is like well you can put your tax dollars to
- 46:47work. George finally agrees to bring
- 46:50him to the house. Yells to Gloria but they have a
- 46:53guest. They start walking towards the
- 46:55dining room and there's some intense music playing.
- 46:59They end up in the dining room and we see Gloria sitting at the
- 47:02head of the table and Mickey and Jules is nowhere to be found and
- 47:06Gloria asks who the officer is and he introduces himself.
- 47:09George is standing behind him with the gun in his hand,
- 47:12looking stressed About the situation, about having the cop
- 47:15in there. We're just looking for some
- 47:17criminals, nothing to be too alarmed about, just
- 47:21precautionary. And Gloria's like, oh, we should
- 47:23go to a hotel then officers like, no, it's fine, we're just
- 47:28being safe. And he's like, there's a lot of
- 47:31food here for the two of you. He ends up looking at George
- 47:34when he's saying that at that point, George had hidden the gun
- 47:37behind his back again. Gloria sees some duct tape
- 47:40remaining on the chair where Mickey was and she rips it off.
- 47:44Chance of explaining to the officer.
- 47:45It's like, you know, we had a few things going bad and we
- 47:50ended up creating a feast as a result.
- 47:53Officer Wells shrugs it off and asks if he can look around.
- 47:58George says yeah, you certainly can, and he looks at Warrior as
- 48:03the officer walks away. He's like you, where are they?
- 48:06So she says the gym and we see Jules and Mickey in the gym
- 48:11overhead shot. Jules wakes up and she's so
- 48:14groggy and we see Mickey, he's face down showing that he's
- 48:18still breathing. And she sees their bowling ball
- 48:22bag and ends up like flopping over to get to it.
- 48:27And at this point, Officer Wells is going into the basement and
- 48:31asks if there's anything you should know about.
- 48:34George is like, oh, no, it's just a boiler and some old
- 48:36boxes. And he starts raising the gun
- 48:39towards Officer Wells because he's not facing them.
- 48:42We're back to Jules crawling slowly over to the bowling ball
- 48:45bag and flopping her arm on it. And she ends up opening it up
- 48:50and pulls out some of the drugs that are in there.
- 48:53Yeah, hopefully there were some they'd had poke because she
- 48:56needed a boost. So at that point the officers
- 49:00radio starts to spot her and he turns to answer it.
- 49:04He doesn't turn completely around, just enough to get to
- 49:07his shoulder speaker and George drops the gun and puts it behind
- 49:10him. They say something over the
- 49:13radio is like Oh yeah, I have to go.
- 49:16As he starts leaving the house, George and Gloria wisham lock
- 49:19in, finding the brute still looking for Jules.
- 49:23Ends up dumping out some of the powder they had.
- 49:26We're assuming it's cocaine. She snorts a little and it hits
- 49:31her immediately, like waking up immediately.
- 49:34Yeah. At this point she's able to
- 49:36crawl much faster and she ends up going over the Mickey trying
- 49:39to wake him up. She rolls him over and pour some
- 49:43coke out onto the floor and tries to roll him towards it.
- 49:47He ends up drooling all over it, ruining it.
- 49:49Fucking Mickey. We're back to Officer Wells and
- 49:52he's on his way out the door saying don't hesitate to call.
- 49:56Contact us if they see or hear anything.
- 49:59George's covering the bullet hole with his hand and he's
- 50:03awkwardly looking at the officer.
- 50:06Wells looks at them both for a minute.
- 50:09He's like what the hell is going on and turns to leave.
- 50:12We're back to Jules and Mickey and he's on his back this time.
- 50:16She has coke underneath his nostrils and blocks his mouth so
- 50:20he's forcibly has to breathe it in.
- 50:22And Mickey wakes up loudly, and she covers his mouth like he
- 50:27doesn't know where he is or what the Hell's going on.
- 50:30Yeah, so now we're back to George and Gloria and they're
- 50:33talking about the cop coming in and words like I barely had
- 50:36enough time to get back to the dining room, enter the gym and
- 50:42see that Mickey and Jewels are gone at this point.
- 50:44She must be real strong. I don't know how she got down
- 50:47there but I guess maybe she has a gym so she must work out.
- 50:50So this is the first time we see George becoming frustrated with
- 50:53Gloria. He clenches his teeth, stating
- 50:56she should have kept watch on them, and she's staring out the
- 51:00window. We don't really know what
- 51:03they're looking at right now, but she continues to stare as
- 51:06George leaves the room. And he's like, we have to go
- 51:09find them. They have a shot outside at what
- 51:12I think is Mickey's boot. It's just outside in the middle
- 51:15of the yard where they can see it.
- 51:17Yeah. But what was weird is it's
- 51:19facing the window as if someone planted it there.
- 51:23Yeah. Foreshadowing.
- 51:26So George is in a big rush because he's like, we're far off
- 51:29the road, but they could be at the property line by now and
- 51:32they could be hiding or whatever.
- 51:34Gloria will leave the house and the camera pans through the
- 51:37living room and we see that Jules and Mickey were hiding
- 51:40behind. This was hilarious.
- 51:42They just come out. Right.
- 51:44But you could totally see their their outline because the sun
- 51:48was outside the curtain and the curtains weren't thick.
- 51:52They were pretty thin curtains, so when it panned over to that
- 51:55window, absolutely. When you're playing hide and
- 51:57seek with your 5 year old, you can't see me.
- 52:00Sure. And when I saw them, I started
- 52:02laughing and they both came out. They're like, Oh my God, that
- 52:04actually worked. And I was like, they were so
- 52:07excited about it. I'm like.
- 52:08So they run into the kitchen and grab the keys because they were
- 52:11just kind of hanging on a hook. They end up running downstairs
- 52:15to the basement. George and Gloria are working
- 52:17for them through the woods. George is increasingly getting
- 52:21pests calling the lying junkies and yells like Gloria asking you
- 52:25how did you let them get away. She's really screaming at her.
- 52:28Gloria stands for Brown and yells back saying that's enough.
- 52:33Now we see Mickey and Jules downstairs unlocking sweetie
- 52:36pies chains. She just stands there like this
- 52:40kids annoying because all she does is stand there and stare.
- 52:42Mickey asks is it because before and he's like you know it was
- 52:46just pretend he's like I even wait is that means like you're
- 52:50pretend when you wink to be right continues to stand there
- 52:53and Gloria's admonishing George for yelling at her while she's
- 52:56crying. George says I didn't mean it.
- 52:59Gloria cuts him off says no you need to cherish me like you
- 53:02promised. You've never yelled at me like
- 53:04that before. We're back at sweetie pie and
- 53:07still staring at Jules and Mickey.
- 53:10Jules is telling Mickey that he needs to apologize because a
- 53:14wink is a universal sign of I'm just kidding.
- 53:18He agrees to apologize to sweetie pie.
- 53:21He's like I'm sorry, but I did wink.
- 53:24I do care about you and I want you to come with us.
- 53:27George and Gloria are still in the woods.
- 53:29George is on one knee and Gloria is facing away from him and
- 53:33they're good 9 feet between them.
- 53:36George says he's sorry and that the world is all cardboard, but
- 53:41them. She thinks that's the sweetest
- 53:43thing. And George goes to some biblical
- 53:45shit about, you know, love the heavens and the gods and the
- 53:49devils and something. So Jules and Mickey and Sweetie
- 53:53Pie finally run out of the basement together.
- 53:56Like Sweetie Pie's actually running.
- 53:58She says, help me forget about them and all of what happened.
- 54:02We could start a brand new life just the two of them.
- 54:05George agrees with that. And he's like, yeah, just the
- 54:08two of us. And if that's what you want,
- 54:10that's what you'll get. Jules, Mickey and Sweetie Pie
- 54:12get to the car. They start the car.
- 54:16George walks to the kitchen because they're back at the
- 54:19house and Gloria says she's going to pack.
- 54:22He sees the keys are missing and asks if Gloria has seen them.
- 54:27She yells out that they're in the dish as she's grabbing
- 54:30photos. George goes downstairs to the
- 54:32basement with his gun drawn saying I'm really sorry about
- 54:36this sweetie pie. So we're assuming that he's
- 54:39going to shoot her and he sees that she's missing and he's
- 54:43angry about that. Mickey ends up opening the
- 54:46garage door with the garage door opener and George can hear the
- 54:49clicking of the door. We're back with Mickey and Yule
- 54:54sitting in the car and the door is moving very slowly.
- 54:57When the door is finally open, George is behind the door with
- 55:01his gun pointed at Mickey. He states that Mickey has
- 55:04something that belongs to him and he needs to get out, and he
- 55:07says get out of the car for a whooping.
- 55:10Mickey looks at Jules and says I fucking love you.
- 55:13We're having a sappy tender moment.
- 55:15I love you so much. As if it's the end, right?
- 55:19Jordan's getting more and more pissed, yelling out of the damn
- 55:22car. Mickey tells Jules to duck and
- 55:26he guns it forward and hits George, which rolls up onto the
- 55:31windshield. Blood is everywhere near his
- 55:33head on the windshield and he has a smashing into a tree.
- 55:37We see Jules and Mickey leaning forward and they sit up.
- 55:43Jules is OK but Mickey was shot a couple times because George
- 55:47got him in the chest. I.
- 55:49Don't know why he didn't duck. Why didn't you duck?
- 55:51Jules is upset about this and Mickey's like and Jules has his
- 55:55head in her hands. He ends up dying in her hands.
- 55:58He lumps forward and Jules tells Mickey's corpse that she loves
- 56:02her. She's hugging him, saying she's
- 56:04going to miss him, right? A hand comes through the window
- 56:07and drags her out of the car. It's George.
- 56:10He survived. How did we know that was going
- 56:13to happen? He's a mess.
- 56:14He's. Still breathing.
- 56:15He's a little mad about, you know, almost being chilled.
- 56:20He's like, you tried to kill me, but he's never going to die.
- 56:24As he chokes Jewels, we see his gun on the ground a little away
- 56:28from them. He says that he's going to be
- 56:30the last thing that Jewels sees. As he's saying that, we see
- 56:34Jewels on the ground and hear the gun click.
- 56:38He stops and looks up and we see Sweetie Pie pointing the gun at.
- 56:41He lovingly says, oh, sweetie pie.
- 56:44And he asks, you know where you got the gun and please give it
- 56:48back to Daddy. He's asking her like, did they
- 56:50trick you to think that Daddy was a bad man?
- 56:53And he's like, why don't you come over?
- 56:55We can have ice cream, mint flavored ice cream.
- 56:58Sweetie pie takes a shot. It's him in the head, right
- 57:02between the eyes. The camera's behind George's
- 57:07head looking through the bullet hole at Sweetie Pie.
- 57:11He ends up falling off of Jules. Jules gets up, looks at Sweetie
- 57:15Pie, walks over and hugs her. Sweetie pie looks down and says
- 57:20this is the first time a sweetie pie talks.
- 57:22Sweetie pie looks down and says I want to go with you.
- 57:25Jules shakes her head in agreement.
- 57:27Jules looks over at the car and says she'll be back now.
- 57:30She's only three feet away from the kid.
- 57:32She moves Mickey's seat back and ends up straddling him while
- 57:37rubbing her hair on his dead face.
- 57:39Car wash. She stares at Car Wash saying
- 57:43that she loves them during the car wash scene because they're
- 57:45doing that again, but he just looks at her all deadpan.
- 57:49Yeah. She gets out and we see the girl
- 57:52standing there and George's dead body with blood around it.
- 57:55Gloria comes out with suitcases and says let's go.
- 57:59She sees his body, calls his name asking if he's OK.
- 58:02George, you OK? She drops the suitcase with a
- 58:05smile saying it's time for them to go.
- 58:07Like hey George we got to go, it's time we go.
- 58:09And she lifts them up and he still looks like a mess with a
- 58:13hole in his head. Stay there a little longer,
- 58:15that's fine. All the while Jews has the gun
- 58:18on her, but drops it when she realizes Gloria wasn't paying
- 58:21attention to this completely indelible land.
- 58:24Oh yeah, she didn't even notice they were there.
- 58:27This lady's so delusional like. Gloria's still holding George,
- 58:31smiling, saying we're going to have all these great adventures
- 58:33together. At this point she is looking
- 58:35towards Jules and Sweetie Pie as they're walking off camera.
- 58:39Now we see Jules and Sweetie Pie walking down the road when a
- 58:43truck pulls beside them and all the lady is driving and that's
- 58:46where they're going. Jules pauses for a second and
- 58:49then says Florida. The woman tells them to get in
- 58:52and they drive off. We head up to the sky and
- 58:56there's a video montage of Jules and Sweetie Pie on the beach
- 58:59having a lot of fun. My question on that is like, is
- 59:03anybody questioning this kid? Like why isn't she in school?
- 59:07Where's her Social Security number?
- 59:10Where's her identification? How is this going on by it's a
- 59:13movie? And at that point, the credits
- 59:15roll, and that was the movie. In that end montage, I think we
- 59:20should state that. So two of them ended up opening
- 59:22that seashell shop. Almost looked like a lemonade
- 59:25stand on the beach. That's right.
- 59:26Was it Mickey's Seashell shop? I think it's what it's called.
- 59:30They ran. Most of it was them running
- 59:31around the beach, but a few times you did see where they
- 59:33were behind their little stand selling seashells and that's how
- 59:36it ended. I really liked this movie, even
- 59:40though it definitely wasn't scary horror.
- 59:42It had its comedic moments, dark comedy or whatever.
- 59:45I loved the energy of the movie and I think the characters that
- 59:50had good energy, they play their parts really well.
- 59:52Mickey and Jules from the first scene in the convenience store
- 59:55had this high fun bubbly almost innocentness about them as well
- 1:00:02just because in like the way they talk to each other and how
- 1:00:04they were they were so in love fun moments.
- 1:00:08I liked the fact that George and Gloria were so old school 50s
- 1:00:14feeling. And that kind of juxtaposition
- 1:00:17against Mickey and Jules and how they were like even those two
- 1:00:23characters, they were, it was like, you know, like I said
- 1:00:26earlier, it was like they were part of ATV show.
- 1:00:29Like they weren't even real. Like they were characters from a
- 1:00:32old show, like they were the 50s.
- 1:00:34And I just really liked all of that.
- 1:00:36There was nothing particular about the story that I found too
- 1:00:40many holes and there were a few things that were like, well, why
- 1:00:42don't they just do this or why do that, You know that they
- 1:00:44don't do certain things because that would just end the store
- 1:00:47like the whole garage thing. Why didn't they do?
- 1:00:49The keys were in the garage and you know, they could have just
- 1:00:51left then and out in the movie. So yeah, I get that those things
- 1:00:55do happen. The only part that I thought was
- 1:00:58weird time wise was when they were finally leaving to get in
- 1:01:04the car and the garage and you had George and Florida keep
- 1:01:10forgetting her name, Gloria out in the woods.
- 1:01:13I was like, why is it taking you so long to get out of this?
- 1:01:17Georgia and Gloria we're a decent bit away.
- 1:01:21They had all this time. Like why did it take them so
- 1:01:22long to get upstairs into the car, open the garage door and
- 1:01:26get out of there? That seemed time wise a little
- 1:01:29off. But outside of that, I didn't
- 1:01:32find any. I sat through the movie enjoying
- 1:01:34it or what it was. It was fun and they stumbled
- 1:01:39upon a house that just happened to have a couple of weirdos in
- 1:01:42there. So they were just robbers or
- 1:01:44whatever where these two were weird.
- 1:01:47And again, I don't know, like, how did you find each other?
- 1:01:50It's amazing that you found each other.
- 1:01:51You found someone who's just like you.
- 1:01:52Good job that it's a once in a life you can find someone that
- 1:01:56fits you so well. So yeah, I liked it.
- 1:01:59I think I'm going to give this one an $0.08.
- 1:02:01So you used a lot of my talking points because as soon as you
- 1:02:05started talking about the fun attitude that Jules and Mickey
- 1:02:10had, I instantly started thinking about and I was going
- 1:02:14to use the same word juxtaposition of Gloria and
- 1:02:18George, how how a bit more serious they were as 1850s
- 1:02:23couple are usually portrayed. And just the difference between
- 1:02:27them, like the a young couple in love and having fun with
- 1:02:32everything and then having a couple that's more established
- 1:02:36in their relationship, but they still have that love for each
- 1:02:39other. But at the same time, there's
- 1:02:41still like some underlining frustration that comes with
- 1:02:45really any relationship. And and then just how that time
- 1:02:49frame doesn't really look at mental health.
- 1:02:53It was more like putting it or not really egging it on.
- 1:02:57But yeah, like ignoring it, you know, and.
- 1:03:01I mean like in the 50s. And.
- 1:03:03Making up scenarios. Which makes the situation worse
- 1:03:06for Gloria. You know, the other two, Mickey
- 1:03:09and Jules, seem to be the type that, you know, they work
- 1:03:12everything out, at least in the honeymoon phase that they're in,
- 1:03:16right? Much like you, there wasn't a
- 1:03:18lot in this movies that I could really complain about.
- 1:03:21I did like it. I thought this was a different
- 1:03:24movie because there is another movie that I saw that was a
- 1:03:27little bit more like this. And it really could have been
- 1:03:30also an episode of the Ozarks where some guys end up breaking
- 1:03:35into a house. And it's a similar situation,
- 1:03:38but it was a little bit more serious.
- 1:03:40But I don't remember the name of the movie.
- 1:03:42So I thought, I thought that's what this was a pleasant
- 1:03:44surprise that it was a dark humor because I absolutely love
- 1:03:47dark humor. Some might say that this isn't
- 1:03:50really a horror movie, but I don't know.
- 1:03:53It kind of is around at its base.
- 1:03:55I do think that the prospect of people wanting to kill you can
- 1:03:59be horrific, so that's why, right?
- 1:04:02I think that's why I feel like this fits our stuff, because
- 1:04:07most people don't want to be killed.
- 1:04:09Most people are afraid of that. If you're one of the ones that
- 1:04:12doesn't mind, get all the power to you.
- 1:04:14But for the most part, people don't like being killed or the
- 1:04:19threat of being killed because it's a horrific experience.
- 1:04:22Did thoroughly enjoy it. The only parts that I could
- 1:04:25really even complain about even just a little bit is the tow
- 1:04:29truck scene. It wasn't needed.
- 1:04:31The laundry shoe when she's going up to laundry shoe, that
- 1:04:35was a little bit ridiculous. And the fact that you could see
- 1:04:40them Other than that, because we never have anything so far that
- 1:04:44we're like, Oh no, I hate this one.
- 1:04:45Really. I loved it.
- 1:04:47Well, then we had one. Which one did I just do?
- 1:04:49I just did one where I gave it A5 and you were surprised
- 1:04:55because you gave it it's 7 1/2 or an 8 or something.
- 1:05:00You really loved it. I just edited it.
- 1:05:03You mean we don't do these by the week?
- 1:05:05So I would give it, I guess say 7 and a half, 8-8 cents.
- 1:05:09It was a good little movie. I enjoyed it and I were I would
- 1:05:13definitely watch it. I think we'd.
- 1:05:15Put a seat in our All right, we have the socks.
- 1:05:19That's a wrap on villains. And on our month of home
- 1:05:22invasion horror, we've broken into houses, crawled through
- 1:05:25basements, dodged arrows, evaded axe wielders, and learned one
- 1:05:29very important lesson. Lock your doors.
- 1:05:32But maybe not too well, or no one will find your body.
- 1:05:36Next week, we're plunging into uncharted waters with our brand
- 1:05:39new theme, Terror in the Deep. It's all about the kind of
- 1:05:41horror that happens in places you really shouldn't be.
- 1:05:44Deep oceans, deep space, deep caves.
- 1:05:46Basically, if it feels like a bad idea to go there, we're
- 1:05:49going there. And we're kicking things off
- 1:05:51with Shark Night because it's about time this podcast finally
- 1:05:54covered a shark movie. Until then, be scared to be
- 1:05:58prepared and don't get caught in the shark.
- 1:06:01I mean the dark.
