- 0:01Speaker 1: Alright, so Ryan, bad news.
- 0:03Speaker 2: What's up?
- 0:03Speaker 1: Julia has tendered her resignation.
- 0:07Speaker 2: Oh!
- 0:07Speaker 1: She will no longer be working on the podcast. I
- 0:11Speaker 1: couldn't tell you why. I thought things were going really well.
- 0:15Speaker 1: I was mentoring her. I was taking her under my wing.
- 0:17Speaker 1: I was giving her all sorts of lessons, I guess
- 0:21Speaker 1: you could say. Tutoring her one-on-one, like, this is how
- 0:25Speaker 1: you make it in this industry. If you're willing to
- 0:28Speaker 1: do what it takes.
- 0:29Speaker 2: And....
- 0:32Speaker 1: She walked. I have no idea why.
- 0:36Speaker 2: You know, sorry to hear.
- 0:41Speaker 1: Also, I got this very nasty letter from Bridgewater State.
- 0:43Speaker 1: I have no idea why. But it says we are
- 0:46Speaker 1: ceasing all internship programs with you.
- 0:49Speaker 2: We can add that to the pile. We got that
- 0:50Speaker 2: from Northeastern and from BU.
- 0:52Speaker 1: I don't know what she told them.
- 0:55Speaker 3: That's too bad.
- 0:56Speaker 1: But I have a very high-powered attorney named Eric Lee.
- 0:59Speaker 1: She better keep her trap shut.
- 1:03Speaker 2: Speaking of shut traps, how about a date with D?
- 1:07Speaker 3: Date with D.
- 1:09Speaker 2: D-date.
- 1:09Speaker 1: Date with destiny, date with D. Hannibal or D? So
- 1:31Speaker 1: you just got cut off a little bit, but you
- 1:33Speaker 1: said who's the best villain, Bane, Hannibal, Joker, or D?
- 1:36Speaker 1: I would say... What does best mean?
- 1:54Speaker 3: Who would you be most scared of? Who would you
- 1:57Speaker 3: not want to encounter?
- 1:59Speaker 1: The Joker, I think would be number one.
- 2:01Speaker 2: Like one-on-one?
- 2:03Speaker 1: Or just like you run afoul of them?
- 2:06Speaker 3: You catch their attention in maybe not a good way.
- 2:11Speaker 1: Well, so I feel like you would have a possibility
- 2:15Speaker 1: of getting away from Dollar Hyde or Hannibal. I don't
- 2:19Speaker 1: think you'd have a possibility of getting away from the Joker.
- 2:23Speaker 2: I think Joker's not going for personal. He's just going
- 2:26Speaker 2: for mass chaos.
- 2:27Speaker 1: I disagree. I think Joker can be very personal.
- 2:31Speaker 2: Unless you're Gamble, who's ruining your act.
- 2:34Speaker 1: I feel like Bane would just shoot you in the head.
- 2:40Speaker 1: I don't think that's that bad.
- 2:42Speaker 2: No, he'd actually bring you out to a football field
- 2:44Speaker 2: and break your neck in public. I think he'd do that.
- 2:46Speaker 1: Or yeah, he would cripple you and put you in
- 2:48Speaker 1: a prison. I mean, none of them would be good.
- 2:50Speaker 2: No.
- 2:51Speaker 1: What would be, like, the most painful, agonizing death? Probably...
- 2:55Speaker 1: Probably Lecter.
- 2:56Speaker 3: Yeah, Lecter.
- 2:58Speaker 1: Lecter, yeah. D.
- 3:00Speaker 2: D, maybe. D, as Lecter says, he's starting out.
- 3:04Speaker 1: He also, for me specifically, he'd probably just kill me. Yeah.
- 3:08Speaker 1: He wouldn't, like, because I'm not a woman, he wouldn't, like,
- 3:10Speaker 1: make a whole thing of it.
- 3:11Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 3:12Speaker 1: Unless I really ticked him off like a reporter from
- 3:16Speaker 1: the Tattler. That we will talk about later. Right.
- 3:19Speaker 3: Good segue, Tim.
- 3:20Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 3:21Speaker 3: Good segue.
- 3:21Speaker 1: Professional. So, we are at the photo lab. Frank, uh, Frank.
- 3:28Speaker 1: Francis Dollar, Dollar High.
- 3:30Speaker 2: You guys are close.
- 3:31Speaker 1: Works in a photo lab.
- 3:33Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
- 3:34Speaker 1: And, like, another actor, what happened to him? Frank, what, Whaley, Wally?
- 3:39Speaker 3: Ralphie, or Ralph?
- 3:40Speaker 1: Yeah, Ralph.
- 3:42Speaker 2: Maybe I'm wrong. Has he ever starred in anything of
- 3:45Speaker 2: his own? I just don't know.
- 3:47Speaker 3: I don't think so.
- 3:48Speaker 1: No, but he's been in tons of huge movies.
- 3:50Speaker 2: He's been in tons of huge stuff, but it's never like,
- 3:52Speaker 2: I think of Pulp Fiction, The Doors. That's what I
- 3:54Speaker 2: think of.
- 3:55Speaker 1: The Doors, he's the villain in Little Monsters with Howie
- 3:58Speaker 1: Mandel and Fred Savage.
- 3:59Speaker 2: That's right. That's right.
- 4:01Speaker 1: He wrote a movie that was made, I think it
- 4:05Speaker 1: was based on his father, where Val Kilmer plays his
- 4:08Speaker 1: alcoholic father. It's called Killer Joe or something like that.
- 4:13Speaker 1: I can't remember. But I'm a big fan of his. Yeah,
- 4:16Speaker 1: I haven't seen him in a long time.
- 4:18Speaker 2: Also, this movie is 20 years old, or 24 years old.
- 4:24Speaker 2: Does not age. Looks the same. The Doors is like
- 4:27Speaker 2: the early 90s, and this is 11 years later. It
- 4:29Speaker 2: looks exactly the same.
- 4:30Speaker 1: So Frank Wiley is a guy who works at the
- 4:33Speaker 1: photo lab named Ralph, and there's a blonde woman who
- 4:37Speaker 1: Dollar Hyde is meeting in this... Well, he walks into
- 4:42Speaker 1: this dark room where they're developing photos... And he, Dollar Head,
- 4:45Speaker 1: can't see. So she says, like, there's a chair to
- 4:48Speaker 1: your right. Sit there. Give me one second. And then
- 4:50Speaker 1: when she turns the lights on, he realizes she's blind.
- 4:54Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
- 4:55Speaker 1: And I think Megan, as a psychologist, why is he
- 5:00Speaker 1: so fascinated by her being blind? Or why does he
- 5:04Speaker 1: think that's a good thing for him?
- 5:06Speaker 3: Well, because he has a hair lip.
- 5:08Speaker 1: He does have a hair lip.
- 5:09Speaker 3: He has a hair lip. And she can't judge him
- 5:14Speaker 3: for that.
- 5:14Speaker 1: I think that he's very bent out of shape about
- 5:17Speaker 1: his hair lip.
- 5:18Speaker 3: You could say that.
- 5:20Speaker 1: He thinks that he is hideously ugly.
- 5:23Speaker 3: Yes.
- 5:25Speaker 1: But he's actually a really handsome guy who has a
- 5:28Speaker 1: minor hair lip that you can barely....
- 5:31Speaker 2: She'll reveal later what the Chromalux employees think about him.
- 5:35Speaker 3: Oh yes, that's true. I read that he gained 15
- 5:38Speaker 3: pounds of muscle from this movie. He is ripped as
- 5:40Speaker 3: shit in this movie.
- 5:41Speaker 1: He is ripped.
- 5:41Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 5:41Speaker 3: He is very muscular.
- 5:43Speaker 1: Yeah, he's like, as we talked about, he bench presses
- 5:47Speaker 1: in the attic yelling about grandma cutting his penis off.
- 5:51Speaker 3: That's true.
- 5:51Speaker 2: You're in Gold's gym and you see the guy wearing
- 5:54Speaker 2: hosiery on his face screaming about his grandmother lifting. No
- 5:57Speaker 2: one goes near him.
- 5:58Speaker 1: No one even.
- 6:00Speaker 2: They won't even call him.
- 6:00Speaker 1: Also, isn't he working out nude in that scene?
- 6:03Speaker 3: No, he had a shirt on.
- 6:04Speaker 1: I thought he was wearing a shirt. Oh, he had
- 6:05Speaker 1: a shirt on. Okay, all right.
- 6:06Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like he has camouflage pants and a shirt.
- 6:09Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 6:09Speaker 1: Okay.
- 6:10Speaker 2: Because they explained the military background.
- 6:11Speaker 1: And a nylon mask on. Yeah.
- 6:13Speaker 2: Because why? Because you can't see yourself at home.
- 6:15Speaker 1: If you just see a guy, not even making noises,
- 6:19Speaker 1: but just quietly working out by himself with that nylon
- 6:22Speaker 1: mask on, it goes to him. Deal breaker. Deal breaker.
- 6:24Speaker 2: That's him.
- 6:24Speaker 1: That's the killer, everybody. So he.
- 6:28Speaker 1: Ryan, can you explain the conversation where Ralph is like,
- 6:33Speaker 1: do you need a ride home? And she says, no,
- 6:35Speaker 1: I'll take the bus. And then.
- 6:38Speaker 2: Ralph doesn't let up. She shoos him away. But Ralph
- 6:43Speaker 2: is looking at Dee because she can't see him, making
- 6:47Speaker 2: faces about how like, oh, I get a euro with her.
- 6:49Speaker 2: That's why she's turning me down. That could be the
- 6:52Speaker 2: only reason why. And then he's like, hey man, good luck, buddy.
- 6:55Speaker 2: And I would say none of this registers with Dee.
- 6:58Speaker 2: He just keeps staring at Ralph, which just proves, like,
- 7:01Speaker 2: Ralph is just a dumb human being. So then Ralph leaves,
- 7:06Speaker 2: and she confides in Dee, and she's like, oh, my God, like,
- 7:09Speaker 2: that was, like, whatever, pretty awkward and terrible.
- 7:14Speaker 3: I have a problem with this, too, because, like, she
- 7:17Speaker 3: must have encountered him.
- 7:19Speaker 1: Dee? Yes. Well, I don't know how long she's been there. Yeah.
- 7:22Speaker 3: I know, but I just feel like, I don't know.
- 7:24Speaker 2: What? She makes a comment about how she's like, I
- 7:30Speaker 2: don't know if you know, but like, I forget what
- 7:33Speaker 2: the wording is. I'm butchering this. But like, I can
- 7:37Speaker 2: tell when people are pitying me when they talk to me. And,
- 7:41Speaker 2: you know, you might feel the same way. And I
- 7:43Speaker 2: just love how the scene ends with him just saying,
- 7:45Speaker 2: I have no pity.
- 7:47Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 7:48Speaker 2: The reddest flag ever.
- 7:51Speaker 1: I have a bunch of problems with like how into
- 7:54Speaker 1: Dee she is.
- 7:54Speaker 3: I agree, Tim.
- 7:56Speaker 1: It's like based on what?
- 7:57Speaker 3: I know.
- 7:58Speaker 1: So we talked about this on the podcast before about
- 8:01Speaker 1: the term manic pixie dream girl. I don't think she's
- 8:03Speaker 1: a manic pixie dream girl, but have you ever heard
- 8:06Speaker 1: of that term? It's basically like when a man writes
- 8:09Speaker 1: a movie, there'll be some like quirky, really single, really hot,
- 8:16Speaker 1: really great personality girl. that's extremely into the lead male,
- 8:21Speaker 1: and you don't really know why. Just because it's a movie,
- 8:24Speaker 1: and the guy wrote it that way. And a great
- 8:26Speaker 1: example is Natalie Portman in Garden State.
- 8:28Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 8:29Speaker 1: But she's just so into Dee, this whole movie, and
- 8:32Speaker 1: I'm like, why? But in Manhunter, it's a famous actress.
- 8:36Speaker 2: It is Joan Allen.
- 8:37Speaker 1: Joan Allen.
- 8:37Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh.
- 8:38Speaker 1: She's the mom in Pleasantville, right?
- 8:39Speaker 2: She is.
- 8:40Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.
- 8:41Speaker 1: So, but she says, like, oh, I can tell by
- 8:45Speaker 1: the way you talk, because I, you know, basically... when
- 8:49Speaker 1: you're blind, you pay attention to your hearing more. She says,
- 8:53Speaker 1: I can tell that you had some palate work in
- 8:56Speaker 1: your mouth, and you hesitate the way you talk because
- 9:00Speaker 1: you think your speech is messed up, but it actually isn't.
- 9:03Speaker 1: You sound totally normal. And he says nothing, but he's
- 9:08Speaker 1: got to be very happy with that feedback.
- 9:13Speaker 2: I think also because, as she reveals later, what she's
- 9:16Speaker 2: heard about Deed, I think that is what is enticing
- 9:20Speaker 2: her as well. I think because I'm kind of like,
- 9:23Speaker 2: when he just ends with also the way he talks
- 9:26Speaker 2: without the cleft lip, it's still an awkward tone of
- 9:32Speaker 2: how he talks.
- 9:32Speaker 1: He's an awkward man.
- 9:33Speaker 3: Yes, he's very awkward.
- 9:35Speaker 2: And with I have no pity, and that's pretty much
- 9:37Speaker 2: all he says is a full sentence. You're kind of like,
- 9:39Speaker 2: still stay away from this guy. I don't care how
- 9:41Speaker 2: handsome you heard he is.
- 9:42Speaker 1: Yeah. And you could argue that any job would require
- 9:47Speaker 1: an ability to be good with people but he has
- 9:51Speaker 1: to stop any job you should be somewhat good with
- 9:54Speaker 1: people but i've never worked in a job where it
- 9:57Speaker 1: truly did not matter at all yeah and he works
- 10:00Speaker 1: in a job where it does not matter at all
- 10:01Speaker 1: he's developing film alone in like a room with the
- 10:03Speaker 1: lights off yes uh so this is just so awkward
- 10:07Speaker 1: the way he says this but the the when he
- 10:11Speaker 1: so she's waiting for the bus and he pulls up
- 10:13Speaker 1: in his Another red flag. His fucking van. Yes.
- 10:16Speaker 3: Creepy serial killer van.
- 10:18Speaker 1: There's a great, in the show Workaholics, there's a character
- 10:20Speaker 1: who has a van and some random kid spray paints
- 10:25Speaker 1: rape van on it. So to fix it, the owner
- 10:28Speaker 1: of the van just writes a G in front of rape.
- 10:31Speaker 1: So it says grape van. Amazing.
- 10:34Speaker 2: I love Carl.
- 10:34Speaker 3: That makes a lot of sense.
- 10:38Speaker 1: So Ryan, what does he say when he pulls up?
- 10:40Speaker 2: So he pulls up to her. It's downpouring.
- 10:43Speaker 1: Please do the voice.
- 10:44Speaker 2: And he just says, this is what, I sent this
- 10:46Speaker 2: to Tim as Tommy Wiseau because I thought it was
- 10:47Speaker 2: just perfect because this is, Tommy Wiseau, which is like
- 10:50Speaker 2: a very romantic scene, is that he just pulled up
- 10:53Speaker 2: and just says, ride with me. And she just goes, no,
- 10:59Speaker 2: I'm good, thank you.
- 11:00Speaker 1: Yeah, he's literally just going, ride with me. That's so weird.
- 11:03Speaker 3: That's so weird. So weird.
- 11:06Speaker 2: And he says, for my pleasure, please. For my pleasure.
- 11:11Speaker 2: And she just goes, okay. Yeah.
- 11:13Speaker 1: And she's like, All right, I'm in. Sure. Then they
- 11:16Speaker 1: get to her place and she invites him in for
- 11:19Speaker 1: a drink. I know. Terrible. And I was texting you guys. Well,
- 11:24Speaker 1: we all know that blind people are sluts. That's why.
- 11:29Speaker 1: And so they go inside and she goes, hey, can
- 11:32Speaker 1: you hand me that giant knife? And he goes like, yes.
- 11:35Speaker 1: And then he's holding the knife. And you can tell
- 11:38Speaker 1: there's a moment where he's like, oh no. And I'm
- 11:40Speaker 1: just like, oh, like this is, I was laughing so hard. Again,
- 11:43Speaker 1: dollar high. I think there's so, so much unintentional comedy.
- 11:47Speaker 1: And then this is so, so amazing. I was like
- 11:51Speaker 1: in tears laughing. So she's like, can I touch your face?
- 11:55Speaker 1: So she's touching his face and her hands here. And
- 11:57Speaker 1: there's a moment where he takes her hand and he
- 12:00Speaker 1: goes like, Like he really wants to bite her hand.
- 12:03Speaker 1: He opens his mouth and he's like, oh my god,
- 12:06Speaker 1: he's going to bite her finger off. And then he
- 12:08Speaker 1: stops himself like, no, no, no. No, no, we shouldn't
- 12:11Speaker 1: do that.
- 12:11Speaker 3: The dragon.
- 12:12Speaker 2: What does he say? Take my word that I'm smiling.
- 12:16Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 12:17Speaker 2: To go, no. Yeah. My note is props to Reba.
- 12:20Speaker 2: I don't know why I wrote that.
- 12:21Speaker 1: Props to Reba. Reba McIntyre?
- 12:24Speaker 2: Well, her name is Reba. Oh, props to.
- 12:27Speaker 1: Reba for what?
- 12:28Speaker 3: Oh, Emily Watson is Reba?
- 12:30Speaker 1: Yeah, she's played by Emily Watson. We didn't mention that.
- 12:32Speaker 2: Because this is the moment she's cutting the pie and then...
- 12:37Speaker 2: What does she pick up on here? That's why I
- 12:39Speaker 2: think I wrote that. There's something about him without even like...
- 12:44Speaker 2: Never mind.
- 12:46Speaker 1: No, I don't remember, but I think you're right.
- 12:47Speaker 2: These are pretty terrible notes, but yeah.
- 12:49Speaker 1: So now we go back to Will. And Jack, and
- 12:56Speaker 1: they find out that the, they found, so like, do
- 12:59Speaker 1: you remember this scene where they find there's a letter
- 13:02Speaker 1: from the Tooth Fairy to Lecter?
- 13:03Speaker 3: Yes.
- 13:03Speaker 1: Do you want to explain what happens here, Meg?
- 13:06Speaker 3: With the toilet paper?
- 13:07Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 13:07Speaker 3: Yeah, so they, how did they figure out that he
- 13:12Speaker 3: was communicating with Lecter?
- 13:13Speaker 1: Just a hunch? They like tossed his cell for something
- 13:17Speaker 1: and they found it.
- 13:19Speaker 3: So it was rolled up on the inside of the
- 13:22Speaker 3: toilet paper.
- 13:24Speaker 1: Right? Yeah, they were doing something with Lecter where they
- 13:26Speaker 1: took him out of the cell and they'd tie him
- 13:28Speaker 1: to that gurney thing. Yes. That was famous in Silence
- 13:31Speaker 1: of the Lambs with the mask. And he's in this
- 13:33Speaker 1: like holding room on the gurney thing and then they
- 13:37Speaker 1: find toilet paper that's a letter from the Tooth Fairy.
- 13:41Speaker 2: They were like cleaning his cell. Yeah.
- 13:42Speaker 3: Yes, they were cleaning his cell and it is a letter, yeah,
- 13:47Speaker 3: a letter from the Tooth Fairy to Lecter but there's
- 13:50Speaker 3: a very critical part torn off.
- 13:53Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 13:54Speaker 3: But they are working very hard to figure out what
- 13:58Speaker 3: the torn off part said.
- 14:00Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 14:01Speaker 3: And they're trying to make sure that Lecter doesn't know
- 14:04Speaker 3: that they found the letter. So they stage like an electrical,
- 14:09Speaker 3: like a blackout, right?
- 14:11Speaker 1: Yeah, they pay like a, well, no, they don't pay.
- 14:14Speaker 1: They tell an FBI agent to dress as an electrician
- 14:17Speaker 1: and pretend he's pissed off. Like, oh, the fucking breaker's
- 14:20Speaker 1: in here. This building's so old. And then Lecter sees
- 14:22Speaker 1: that as he walks by.
- 14:23Speaker 3: Yes, you're watching Lecter strapped to that thing with the
- 14:28Speaker 3: mask on. And he doesn't think anything when the electrician
- 14:33Speaker 3: first goes in. And then they figure it out. That
- 14:38Speaker 3: guy is figuring it out at the FBI, right?
- 14:41Speaker 1: So they're like, Lecter has an hour before he gets
- 14:44Speaker 1: really suspicious of what's going on. Yes. So we're going
- 14:46Speaker 1: to do whatever we can and then put the toilet
- 14:48Speaker 1: paper back in his cell so Lecter doesn't know. And
- 14:52Speaker 1: he doesn't notice anything except for when the final janitor,
- 14:57Speaker 1: quote unquote, is leaving. There's a latex glove poking out
- 15:00Speaker 1: of his back pocket. Now, to me, sometimes janitors wear gloves, but.
- 15:04Speaker 2: Also, they did the thing, too, when they were going...
- 15:06Speaker 2: They had too much time. They used too much time. Yes.
- 15:09Speaker 2: So they, like, go in there and cut the power. Yeah.
- 15:11Speaker 2: When they cut the power, that's when he's like, something's
- 15:14Speaker 2: fucking up.
- 15:14Speaker 3: Yes.
- 15:15Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 15:16Speaker 1: And they figure out that he's communicating through... personal ads
- 15:22Speaker 1: in the Tatler. Because they were like, how does Lecter
- 15:25Speaker 1: write back? Lecter gets a letter from the Tooth Fairy.
- 15:27Speaker 1: How does he write back to the Tooth Fairy? Because,
- 15:29Speaker 1: first of all, he doesn't want anybody to know that
- 15:31Speaker 1: he's doing that. Second of all, he doesn't have an
- 15:33Speaker 1: address for the Tooth Fairy.
- 15:34Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
- 15:34Speaker 1: So he's writing in personal ads in the Tatler, and
- 15:37Speaker 1: he's using a code with Bible verses, but the Bible
- 15:40Speaker 1: verses don't exist. So if it's like John 13, 24,
- 15:43Speaker 1: the FBI agents are like, there is no John 13, 24. Mm-hmm.
- 15:49Speaker 1: So they figure out, okay, it's got to be based
- 15:51Speaker 1: on the books in Lecter's cell. So they take the
- 15:54Speaker 1: books from his cell, and I don't remember how they
- 15:57Speaker 1: specifically figure out, but they decipher the code. And do
- 16:00Speaker 1: you remember what the code is? Like the message via
- 16:04Speaker 1: code that Lecter is sending to the Tooth Fairy? It
- 16:09Speaker 1: is Graham Home Marathon for Kill Them All. I thought
- 16:15Speaker 1: this was a chicken shit move by Lecter. Because Lecter
- 16:18Speaker 1: has this, like, code, quote-unquote. So, like, he respects Will.
- 16:21Speaker 1: Will defeated him. And now he's going to have the
- 16:24Speaker 1: Tooth Fairy kill Will's family?
- 16:25Speaker 2: I just.
- 16:26Speaker 1: Lecter's not a good guy.
- 16:28Speaker 2: I also just found this to be kind of, like,
- 16:30Speaker 2: why does, like, Lecter need this? I don't know.
- 16:32Speaker 1: Also, Jack Crawford, again, like, Jack Crawford is to blame
- 16:37Speaker 1: for all of this. He calls Will and just emotionlessly goes, like,
- 16:42Speaker 1: bastard gave me your home address. He says, but don't worry.
- 16:45Speaker 2: So, like, set your alarm.
- 16:48Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 16:49Speaker 3: Right.
- 16:51Speaker 2: Sure. Yeah.
- 16:52Speaker 1: And they kind of do a bait-and-switch scene where, like, Molly,
- 16:57Speaker 1: who's Mary Louise Parker, and the kid are hanging out
- 17:01Speaker 1: in the Florida home, and it's like the Tooth Fairy's there,
- 17:04Speaker 1: but it's actually an FBI agent, and the house is
- 17:07Speaker 1: swarmed by copters and FBI agents.
- 17:10Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
- 17:10Speaker 1: So, yeah.
- 17:14Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
- 17:15Speaker 1: Oh, this line I absolutely love. So, okay. So Chilton,
- 17:19Speaker 1: who's Anthony Hill, the director of the prison, who hates Lecter.
- 17:23Speaker 1: And Lecter hates him. He's in Sounds of the Lambs.
- 17:27Speaker 1: So when they find out that, because Lecter is like,
- 17:32Speaker 1: he's getting meals delivered. He has a library of books.
- 17:34Speaker 1: He's allowed to draw. He has all this shit in
- 17:37Speaker 1: his cell. So when they find out, you wrote a
- 17:39Speaker 1: letter to the fucking Tooth Fairy to kill Will Graham's family.
- 17:42Speaker 1: So they're like, Chilton, do whatever you want. Chilton takes
- 17:45Speaker 1: away his mattress, all his drawings, all of his books, everything.
- 17:50Speaker 1: And Lecter's tied up and he says, they're going through
- 17:53Speaker 1: Lecter's mail. And Lecter says to Chilton, you'll find your
- 17:56Speaker 1: rejection letter from the archives. It's under the yellow folder.
- 17:59Speaker 1: I received it in my archives mail and I opened
- 18:02Speaker 1: it by accident. Sorry. So basically Chilton was submitting something
- 18:07Speaker 1: to get published and they're writing back, we're not going
- 18:09Speaker 1: to publish this. So then Chilton smiles and says in response,
- 18:12Speaker 1: will you please take Dr. Lecter's toilet seat?
- 18:14Speaker 2: But also, I am this, like, dilute, like, psychopath. My
- 18:20Speaker 2: archives mail, they're mailing me stuff all the time.
- 18:22Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 18:22Speaker 2: Like, I'm in.
- 18:23Speaker 1: Yeah. But that's just a great move. Like, oh, you
- 18:26Speaker 1: think you got me, Lecter? I'm going to take your
- 18:28Speaker 1: toilet seat.
- 18:29Speaker 2: And I think the next time you see Lecter, he's
- 18:31Speaker 2: just sitting on the floor and you just see the
- 18:33Speaker 2: toilet with no seat. I'm like, there you go.
- 18:34Speaker 1: That would really suck.
- 18:35Speaker 2: And also, no mattress.
- 18:37Speaker 1: If you're in a prison cell with no mattress and
- 18:39Speaker 1: no toilet seat, how would you poop?
- 18:41Speaker 2: No wonder why he had Migs killed. No wonder.
- 18:43Speaker 1: I know.
- 18:44Speaker 2: Multiple Migs.
- 18:46Speaker 1: So this is when Jack and Will decide to sentence
- 18:50Speaker 1: Philip Seymour Hoffman to death.
- 18:53Speaker 2: This one is the... the hardest to wrap my head around,
- 18:56Speaker 2: this part.
- 18:56Speaker 1: They do this in Manhunter, too.
- 18:58Speaker 2: I know, they do it. And it's like, you guys
- 18:59Speaker 2: know you are going to get this man killed. Like,
- 19:02Speaker 2: it's a fact. You know it.
- 19:03Speaker 1: I don't think they knew it, though.
- 19:05Speaker 2: I don't think it was going to guarantee, but a
- 19:07Speaker 2: possibility was he would be killed.
- 19:09Speaker 1: You would be bitten in the ass hard if anything
- 19:12Speaker 1: happened to this man.
- 19:13Speaker 3: Yes.
- 19:14Speaker 1: So, Meg, explain what happens.
- 19:16Speaker 3: So, they know that they're communicating... And they know that... Wait,
- 19:24Speaker 3: they don't know, but they suspect that the Tooth Fairy
- 19:27Speaker 3: is reading his press clippings, right?
- 19:29Speaker 2: He says in the letter what they're calling him. Oh, yes.
- 19:31Speaker 1: I don't like being called the Tooth Fairy.
- 19:33Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yes. So they.
- 19:35Speaker 1: And all serial killers do that anyway.
- 19:37Speaker 3: Yes, that's true. So they agree to give Philip Seymour Hoffman,
- 19:42Speaker 3: who is Mr. lounge a scoop um and they do
- 19:48Speaker 3: an interview which he thinks is legit the news reporter
- 19:52Speaker 3: and he's like chomping at the bit on every word about.
- 19:55Speaker 2: Surprised he bought this i know are you inspired by.
- 19:58Speaker 1: That yeah a little bit i think i don't know
- 20:00Speaker 1: does he care if it's true or not Probably not,
- 20:03Speaker 1: but it's just like... Does he care if he believes
- 20:05Speaker 1: it or not?
- 20:05Speaker 2: If he can source you, I guess he doesn't care.
- 20:07Speaker 1: If it's scandalous, he's going to publish it. He's like,
- 20:09Speaker 1: this is great for my... Yeah.
- 20:11Speaker 2: The Tatler, excuse me. Because he's so used to getting
- 20:14Speaker 2: beat up and fight for it. The fact that they
- 20:15Speaker 2: just gave this to you in a platter, just to me,
- 20:18Speaker 2: even for someone who doesn't give a shit, would be like,
- 20:19Speaker 2: why are they doing this for real? Yeah.
- 20:21Speaker 3: Yes.
- 20:21Speaker 2: But yeah.
- 20:22Speaker 3: So they're giving him information that is insulting to the
- 20:26Speaker 3: Tooth Fairy. And he's going to publish this.
- 20:30Speaker 1: The Tooth Fairy is ugly and sexually molests his male victims.
- 20:35Speaker 2: Wow.
- 20:35Speaker 1: Right. Right. He's from an incestuous home. Lecter told us this.
- 20:40Speaker 1: That's what they tell Philip Seymour Hoffman. Also, when we
- 20:43Speaker 1: were talking about serial killers reading their press clippings, and
- 20:47Speaker 1: how I was talking about earlier, serial killers are not supervillains.
- 20:50Speaker 1: They're actually alcoholic losers. BTK wrote to the press about,
- 20:55Speaker 1: you know, because he said, I don't like my nickname,
- 20:57Speaker 1: the Tooth Fairy. That's what Ray Fine says in this.
- 21:00Speaker 1: BTK wrote to the press about what his nickname should be.
- 21:04Speaker 1: And one of the things he suggested, I was listening
- 21:05Speaker 1: to the last podcast on the left, and one of
- 21:07Speaker 1: the hosts said, the nickname he suggested was the Garrot Phantom.
- 21:13Speaker 1: And then the other host goes, what a fucking loser.
- 21:16Speaker 1: The Garrot Phantom. The Garrot Phantom.
- 21:19Speaker 2: I mean, what was.
- 21:20Speaker 3: PTK is scary.
- 21:21Speaker 1: I don't like PTK.
- 21:21Speaker 3: What was Hannibal doing, though, right?
- 21:23Speaker 1: Hannibal the Cannibal.
- 21:24Speaker 2: But before he was caught, they were showing the article,
- 21:28Speaker 2: and she was called the Chesapeake Mangler or something like that.
- 21:32Speaker 1: Oh, okay.
- 21:32Speaker 3: All right.
- 21:33Speaker 1: Yeah. All right.
- 21:35Speaker 2: So, yeah.
- 21:36Speaker 3: So they do this interview. They give him the fake scoop,
- 21:41Speaker 3: and it goes to press.
- 21:44Speaker 1: I love the moment where he gets the paper. So
- 21:47Speaker 1: when is the paper first delivered to a newsstand in
- 21:50Speaker 1: the dark? Like 4 a.m.? Probably, yeah. So it's 4 a.m.
- 21:55Speaker 1: and the newsstand guy sees Francis Dollarhead coming and goes,
- 21:58Speaker 1: you again?
- 22:00Speaker 2: Yes. My note on this scene was Francis is doing
- 22:05Speaker 2: this so he's not noticed that he's taking the newspaper.
- 22:09Speaker 2: I was like, wouldn't this be worse because you stand
- 22:12Speaker 2: out more?
- 22:12Speaker 1: Right, right. Yeah, and also, like, how many people buy
- 22:15Speaker 1: a fucking newspaper?
- 22:16Speaker 3: Well, back in the day, this is 1980s.
- 22:20Speaker 1: No, no, no, that's what I meant. Everyone buys a newspaper.
- 22:24Speaker 1: It's not suspicious to buy a newspaper.
- 22:26Speaker 3: But at 4 a.m.? 4 a.m.
- 22:27Speaker 1: Before they open it.
- 22:28Speaker 3: Before he even put it on the stands?
- 22:30Speaker 2: And he's also like, you again, so he clearly remembers
- 22:32Speaker 2: who he is. You would stand out less if you
- 22:35Speaker 2: bought it at 9 a.m. and just bought it with
- 22:37Speaker 2: everybody else, not be a problem. But this is also
- 22:39Speaker 2: the big, what does he say, when he pulls the
- 22:44Speaker 2: knife out?
- 22:46Speaker 1: To the newspaper salesman? Yeah, the guy goes like, I
- 22:50Speaker 1: told you, he said you can't take one yet, I'm
- 22:53Speaker 1: not open. And he basically takes one and throws money
- 22:55Speaker 1: at the guy. And the guy said, I told you
- 22:57Speaker 1: you can't take one. And then Dollar High just turns
- 22:59Speaker 1: around and pulls the knife.
- 23:00Speaker 2: You told me what?
- 23:01Speaker 1: Yeah, you told me what?
- 23:02Speaker 2: He has the knife in his hand.
- 23:03Speaker 1: And the guy's like, fine, take the paper.
- 23:06Speaker 2: You can take your coins back, too, you threw at me, yeah.
- 23:08Speaker 1: And that's a great point of, like, you don't want to...
- 23:11Speaker 1: The guy at 4 a.m. is taking a newspaper, butt-paying you. Like,
- 23:16Speaker 1: Ryan said to me, we were in the line for
- 23:17Speaker 1: Market Basket today to buy those waters. And there was
- 23:21Speaker 1: a woman in front of me, and we were in
- 23:23Speaker 1: the express line. Now, Market Basket has two express lines,
- 23:25Speaker 1: 20 items and 12. We went to the 20-item line,
- 23:29Speaker 1: and the woman in front of me had, like, 25,
- 23:31Speaker 1: 30 items.
- 23:33Speaker 2: Oh.
- 23:34Speaker 1: And I just was like, this, you know, like, fuck it. Yeah, bitch, exactly.
- 23:38Speaker 1: I didn't want to be sexist, but yeah, bitch. And
- 23:42Speaker 1: then I said to Ryan, like, to the point where
- 23:45Speaker 1: she could probably hear me, I said, that woman has
- 23:47Speaker 1: more than 20 items. And then Ryan said, this is
- 23:49Speaker 1: a losing battle. And Ryan's right. Like, those scenarios are
- 23:53Speaker 1: losing battles. You never know who's going to turn around
- 23:56Speaker 1: and be Francis Dollarhead.
- 23:57Speaker 2: But guess what? What if her cashier was Hannibal Lecter?
- 24:00Speaker 2: This is technically 20 items.
- 24:03Speaker 1: He would check her out very pleasantly and then later
- 24:06Speaker 1: that night he would dissect her.
- 24:08Speaker 2: Let me bring your groceries to your car. Get a
- 24:10Speaker 2: license plate, look it up, follow her home, cut her
- 24:12Speaker 2: into fucking ribbons and eat her later.
- 24:14Speaker 1: And that's the stupid bullshit. That's the stupid bullshit. That's
- 24:19Speaker 1: the stupid bullshit with Hannibal Lecter's moral code. You as
- 24:23Speaker 1: the viewer are like, okay, well, you violated a norm.
- 24:26Speaker 1: You were a bad flautist. I'm not saying you deserve
- 24:29Speaker 1: to die, but you're not picking on Like an innocent
- 24:33Speaker 1: mother in the suburbs who did nothing wrong. That's who
- 24:35Speaker 1: Dollar Hyde is picking on. Whereas Lector is, this is
- 24:38Speaker 1: like the Henry Portrait of a Serial Killer thing.
- 24:40Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 24:40Speaker 1: When they kill the rude man who runs the TV shop.
- 24:45Speaker 1: It's like, oh, okay, well you violated some sort of code.
- 24:49Speaker 1: You're not a total innocent, which I think is bullshit.
- 24:52Speaker 2: Well, it's also the thing too of like the code
- 24:54Speaker 2: is like this delusion of I'm doing this for a
- 24:57Speaker 2: reason that I justified to myself. But also that melts away.
- 25:02Speaker 2: that goes away. Like that, like the reasons no longer
- 25:04Speaker 2: become reasons anymore. It just doesn't matter who you are.
- 25:06Speaker 2: Like it's, I think really the dollar hide thing is like,
- 25:11Speaker 2: he doesn't have a role. It's just people he objectifies
- 25:13Speaker 2: and sees through these, what we find out about later.
- 25:16Speaker 2: And that's who he picks is like, but he picks
- 25:18Speaker 2: it based on logistical, easy parameters. I can get into
- 25:21Speaker 2: this home and get these people. Hannibal's whole rule. It's
- 25:25Speaker 2: kind of horseshit. Cause it's based on people he encounters.
- 25:27Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
- 25:28Speaker 1: It's just really, really. Yeah. Yeah. So, Meg, Philip Seymour
- 25:33Speaker 1: Hoffman is now walking in a parking lot.
- 25:37Speaker 3: He's coming to work.
- 25:38Speaker 1: He's going to work. And there's a van in the
- 25:40Speaker 1: parking lot.
- 25:41Speaker 3: Oh, in his parking spot.
- 25:43Speaker 1: In his parking spot. Yeah. And he goes like, what
- 25:46Speaker 1: are you doing parking here, buddy? Can you read? And
- 25:48Speaker 1: then all of a sudden he's just... Chloroformed? It's like Batman, honestly.
- 25:52Speaker 1: He just like, these arms come out and he's chloroformed.
- 25:55Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 25:56Speaker 2: Is this your fucking name on the sign? Yeah. That's great.
- 25:59Speaker 1: Yeah. So Meg, then he wakes up, and what's going on?
- 26:03Speaker 3: I think he's glued.
- 26:05Speaker 1: He's glued?
- 26:06Speaker 3: He's completely glued.
- 26:09Speaker 1: It's like a very old wheelchair that you know was
- 26:11Speaker 1: left over in this nursing home.
- 26:12Speaker 3: Yes, yes. So of all the scenes that I remembered
- 26:16Speaker 3: from this movie, this was number one. I did not
- 26:19Speaker 3: remember the opening at all, but this was very vivid
- 26:23Speaker 3: in my mind.
- 26:23Speaker 1: This is the most memed scene, and they spoofed it
- 26:27Speaker 1: in South Park. Oh, it's tense.
- 26:29Speaker 3: He's in his underwear, right? His tighty-whities.
- 26:32Speaker 1: He's in tighty-whities, glued to the chair.
- 26:33Speaker 3: Yep, glued to the chair. Yep. So, not great. Not
- 26:37Speaker 3: great waking up in a decrepit nursing home.
- 26:44Speaker 1: This, again, so much unintentional comedy with Dollar Hyde. Just
- 26:48Speaker 1: the amount of concern you would have as Philip Schumer Hoffman. So,
- 26:51Speaker 1: Dollar Hyde is nude. And he has tattoos all over
- 26:57Speaker 1: his back.
- 26:57Speaker 3: Well, he has a bathrobe on at first.
- 26:59Speaker 1: And then he takes it off and he's nude. And
- 27:01Speaker 1: he has tattoos all over his back and buttocks. Yes.
- 27:05Speaker 1: And then the dollar head says, do you know what
- 27:07Speaker 1: I'm doing? And Philip Seymour Hoffman says, no, I don't.
- 27:12Speaker 1: I don't think anyone knows what you're doing.
- 27:13Speaker 3: No, no, no. Poor, I mean, I hate his character,
- 27:18Speaker 3: but you do feel bad for his character.
- 27:20Speaker 1: Because like, he doesn't deserve this. No, no.
- 27:23Speaker 2: It's piece of shit as you are. Like, it's like,
- 27:25Speaker 2: this has now gone beyond like, yes. Would it like,
- 27:28Speaker 2: I don't know how to say it best. Like the
- 27:29Speaker 2: whole media part of it is like this surreptitious nonsense.
- 27:32Speaker 2: We're like, okay, now like, Oh, these things I've been
- 27:35Speaker 2: writing about and just taking for granted for years are
- 27:37Speaker 2: real and they affect real people.
- 27:38Speaker 1: And now the real people. Yes. Yeah. So Ryan, do
- 27:42Speaker 1: you want to say the line?
- 27:44Speaker 2: Um, when, This is when Dee reveals, all my notes
- 27:49Speaker 2: are Dee, like we're friends. Dee reveals the tattoo, and
- 27:53Speaker 2: he's like, I want to show you who I am,
- 27:55Speaker 2: or do you want to know who I am? And
- 27:57Speaker 2: it's like, more than anything, which I think is, I
- 28:00Speaker 2: like how he's trying to play the part to think
- 28:02Speaker 2: he can get out of it.
- 28:03Speaker 1: That's really interesting.
- 28:06Speaker 2: And then he's like, oh, he's like, you've been spilling lies.
- 28:08Speaker 1: Because he thinks like, okay, well, I can go back
- 28:11Speaker 1: and report the truth for you.
- 28:12Speaker 2: Exactly.
- 28:12Speaker 1: That's how he's going to get out of it.
- 28:14Speaker 2: He goes, yes.
- 28:14Speaker 3: Oh, no.
- 28:15Speaker 2: You're good.
- 28:16Speaker 1: It didn't spill. Great.
- 28:19Speaker 2: This is like Dee's mission statement. After rolling the tattoo,
- 28:25Speaker 2: it just says, I am the dragon. You call me insane.
- 28:29Speaker 2: You are privy to a great becoming, but you recognize nothing.
- 28:34Speaker 2: To me, you are a slug in the sun. You
- 28:36Speaker 2: are an ant in the afterbirth. It is in your
- 28:39Speaker 2: nature to do one thing correctly. Before me, you rightly tremble.
- 28:45Speaker 2: But fear is not what you owe me. You owe
- 28:48Speaker 2: me awe.
- 28:50Speaker 1: I don't understand the plan. I texted you guys this.
- 28:54Speaker 1: The plan of being reborn as the dragon by killing
- 28:58Speaker 1: these families. I don't get it.
- 29:00Speaker 3: So I think that when he is... I think he
- 29:04Speaker 3: sexually assaults the moms.
- 29:06Speaker 1: Probably.
- 29:07Speaker 3: And I think his tattoo... You know the painting is
- 29:11Speaker 3: like a dragon with the tail... coming out, and so
- 29:15Speaker 3: I feel like when he's inside these women, he looks
- 29:18Speaker 3: like the dragon, if you're looking at his back.
- 29:21Speaker 1: Oh, wow.
- 29:21Speaker 2: Wow.
- 29:22Speaker 1: Because it is the back of the dragon. Yeah. And
- 29:24Speaker 1: the dragon, the painting of the red dragon, it doesn't
- 29:27Speaker 1: look like, it looks like a muscular man.
- 29:29Speaker 2: Right. It, like, mutates in the beginning, like, up from
- 29:31Speaker 2: the top, yeah.
- 29:32Speaker 1: Putting your psychologist hat on, because you are one.
- 29:35Speaker 3: I mean, that's how I interpreted it.
- 29:36Speaker 1: You literally are a doctor in psychology.
- 29:38Speaker 3: Um, because... they said something about like how he has
- 29:43Speaker 3: he has fun with the moms or something he spent
- 29:45Speaker 3: he spent took special care with the.
- 29:48Speaker 2: Moms I'm curious like they I figured for an R
- 29:51Speaker 2: rated movie that has so much graphic material I feel
- 29:53Speaker 2: like they would blatantly state like he sexually assaulted the
- 29:57Speaker 2: female victims And they don't say that.
- 29:59Speaker 3: They don't.
- 30:00Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know why.
- 30:01Speaker 3: They say something like he took special care with the
- 30:03Speaker 3: moms or he paid special attention. So I felt like
- 30:07Speaker 3: the tale, yeah.
- 30:09Speaker 2: No, I mean. And.
- 30:11Speaker 1: It makes a ton of sense. Yeah, that's what I said.
- 30:14Speaker 1: I said that like being reborn as the dragon didn't
- 30:17Speaker 1: make any sense to me, but Ryan said he totally understood.
- 30:19Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, step five, right? Is this before or
- 30:23Speaker 3: after when he's like, Mrs. Leeds, do you see?
- 30:25Speaker 1: No, this is before. So that's what I was getting at. Okay.
- 30:28Speaker 1: Do you want to say it? Did I?
- 30:31Speaker 2: I think I jumped ahead then. Because I think I
- 30:32Speaker 2: am the dragon reveal is after the reveal of.
- 30:35Speaker 1: He's going through.
- 30:36Speaker 2: Because he's wearing the robe at this point in time
- 30:38Speaker 2: when he's doing the reveal with the photos.
- 30:40Speaker 1: He's going through a.
- 30:42Speaker 3: Like a slide deck of his vacation.
- 30:43Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. It's very similar to vacations I've been on.
- 30:48Speaker 1: And he says, he shows like. A photo of just
- 30:51Speaker 1: the Leeds family, like, having a good time. This is,
- 30:56Speaker 1: or sorry, the Jacoby family. This is Mrs. Jacoby in
- 30:58Speaker 1: human form. Do you see? Mrs. Leeds in human form.
- 31:02Speaker 1: Do you see? Mrs. Jacoby changing. Do you see? And
- 31:06Speaker 1: then you don't see this photo, but Philip Schermer Hoffman's like.
- 31:09Speaker 2: Oh, no.
- 31:10Speaker 3: Yeah, he starts crying.
- 31:12Speaker 1: Mrs. Leeds changing. Do you see? Mrs. Jacoby reborn, do
- 31:17Speaker 1: you see?
- 31:18Speaker 2: Mrs.
- 31:18Speaker 1: Leeds reborn, do you see? So, you can only imagine
- 31:22Speaker 1: what those photos are.
- 31:23Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 31:25Speaker 1: And then he basically tells Philip Schumer Hoffman, like, I'm
- 31:30Speaker 1: going to let you go to report this.
- 31:34Speaker 2: And tell the truth.
- 31:35Speaker 1: Yep, but he decides to do something we've all done
- 31:40Speaker 1: when we've been in a bad enough mood. I love....
- 31:45Speaker 2: When they show this, the first time when he's giving
- 31:49Speaker 2: him the I am the dragon speech, Hoffman's like just
- 31:54Speaker 2: very shocked. And then when they cut back to him,
- 31:57Speaker 2: he's like crying and scared because he just realizes there
- 32:00Speaker 2: is just, I have no way out of this.
- 32:03Speaker 1: I'm done.
- 32:03Speaker 2: Like this is over for me. Like there's just no
- 32:05Speaker 2: chance I'm gonna get out of this. You cannot reason
- 32:08Speaker 2: with this person at all.
- 32:08Speaker 1: But he, he goes and basically like, Almost like he's
- 32:13Speaker 1: kissing him, he bites around his mouth.
- 32:16Speaker 2: And bites like his tongue and lips off.
- 32:17Speaker 3: I thought he bit his tongue off.
- 32:19Speaker 2: Yeah. Okay.
- 32:19Speaker 1: Because you were spitting lies. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Mm-hmm.
- 32:24Speaker 1: And then the next cut, I think this is just
- 32:27Speaker 1: fucking great. Mm-hmm. So he's screaming, they cut, and then Meg,
- 32:32Speaker 1: what happens?
- 32:34Speaker 3: You see a burning wheelchair coming. go down the street
- 32:38Speaker 3: and there's clearly a body in it.
- 32:40Speaker 1: Like being pushed down a hill.
- 32:41Speaker 3: Yeah, it's early day and somebody just pushed it down
- 32:44Speaker 3: a hill and it's just on fire.
- 32:46Speaker 1: See, like, this is what I miss about the 80s.
- 32:49Speaker 1: There's no way you could get away with that now.
- 32:51Speaker 1: There's cameras everywhere.
- 32:53Speaker 3: That's true.
- 32:54Speaker 2: Right?
- 32:54Speaker 1: Very true. Yeah, your van would get caught. Man, things
- 32:57Speaker 1: used to be great.
- 32:58Speaker 2: It's also one of the best parts of the movie where, like,
- 33:02Speaker 2: catching him is about how, like, The logistics are like, well,
- 33:07Speaker 2: how did he get this wheelchair and let it on
- 33:09Speaker 2: fire and get here so quickly and leave?
- 33:11Speaker 3: Right.
- 33:12Speaker 2: It's like, how did all this stuff happen? He has
- 33:14Speaker 2: to be around here somewhere.
- 33:15Speaker 1: They figure out he has to have a van.
- 33:17Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 33:17Speaker 2: Right.
- 33:17Speaker 1: Because he's transporting him in a wheelchair. The wheelchair, yeah.
- 33:20Speaker 1: So they talk about it in Manhunter, but I guess
- 33:24Speaker 1: I wasn't sure until I watched Manhunter, but he was
- 33:26Speaker 1: alive when he was lit on fire. Yeah. Jack and Will.
- 33:31Speaker 3: Well, that wouldn't kill you, having your tongue bit off, probably.
- 33:33Speaker 1: Yeah, but you never know. He could have slid his
- 33:35Speaker 1: throat or something, but no, he lit him on fire
- 33:37Speaker 1: and killed him that way. But Jack and Will have
- 33:39Speaker 1: zero remorse about this.
- 33:41Speaker 3: Yeah, they seemed.
- 33:42Speaker 1: Fine.
- 33:43Speaker 3: Surprisingly... Yeah, fine.
- 33:45Speaker 1: No accountability. And then, thank God for Lecter. Lecter sees
- 33:48Speaker 1: Will and says, what was it like to commit your
- 33:50Speaker 1: first murder? And I was like, thank you, Lecter.
- 33:52Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 33:53Speaker 1: Very true. And so they're debating, and Will says, stop
- 33:57Speaker 1: talking in riddles. He's like, Will's like, I don't have
- 34:00Speaker 1: time for this. I don't want to play this game
- 34:03Speaker 1: where you're talking in poetry and I have to figure
- 34:05Speaker 1: out what you're saying. Just fucking tell me with normal
- 34:09Speaker 1: words what is going on. And Lecter kind of just doesn't.
- 34:13Speaker 2: Well, he just says, look at the Blake painting. What
- 34:16Speaker 2: is it about? Transformation.
- 34:18Speaker 1: It's about transformation.
- 34:20Speaker 3: But that's not really.
- 34:21Speaker 1: Helpful.
- 34:22Speaker 3: That's not helpful.
- 34:23Speaker 2: It's not helpful at all, but also I think if
- 34:26Speaker 2: this movie is... I don't know, again, more cleverly done. Like,
- 34:32Speaker 2: what's the whole, in Silence of the Lambs, like, the
- 34:36Speaker 2: whole thing of that movie that I think is not
- 34:38Speaker 2: discussed is that, like, Hannibal does know who Buffalo Bill is. Like,
- 34:42Speaker 2: he does know who this person is.
- 34:43Speaker 1: Right.
- 34:44Speaker 2: He's like, all good things to those who wait. And
- 34:46Speaker 2: you're like, well, why wouldn't Clarice just get Jack Crawford
- 34:51Speaker 2: and both of them just hammer this answer out of him?
- 34:53Speaker 2: But she plays the game. Will does not want to
- 34:56Speaker 2: play the game. So it makes it harder because Hannibal
- 34:58Speaker 2: is like, I want to help you figure, I don't
- 35:01Speaker 2: want to help you figure this out in a weird way.
- 35:03Speaker 2: But I feel like the back and forth here could
- 35:07Speaker 2: be more interesting because, I don't know how to say
- 35:11Speaker 2: it better, but they just didn't, I'm not a writer,
- 35:14Speaker 2: but I just feel like this could have been done
- 35:18Speaker 2: more well where like, we're so used to Clarice letting
- 35:22Speaker 2: Hannibal wash over her and you have a guy who's like,
- 35:25Speaker 2: I let you do this before, I'm not letting you
- 35:27Speaker 2: do it again. But slowly, he lets it start happening
- 35:30Speaker 2: again because he needs this person's help. But the movie
- 35:33Speaker 2: is kind of just, I think, rushing, in my opinion,
- 35:36Speaker 2: by this point. And it just doesn't feel that gradual.
- 35:39Speaker 1: And it's like two and a half hours, right?
- 35:42Speaker 2: But I feel like the Hannibal stuff, I don't know,
- 35:45Speaker 2: I feel like it doesn't have, like, the, not lurid, but, like,
- 35:49Speaker 2: the magnetism from the first movie. And not just because
- 35:52Speaker 2: Clarice is a novice and, like, She's being overwhelmed by him.
- 35:55Speaker 2: I feel like this movie has, again, that interesting idea
- 35:58Speaker 2: of this is a person who already fell for this
- 35:59Speaker 2: guy's traps. Now he knows this guy's bullshit. And still,
- 36:03Speaker 2: he's getting lured back in again. And that lure back
- 36:05Speaker 2: in is not as strong in this movie, in my opinion.
- 36:07Speaker 1: Hannibal is barely in Manhunter. He's in, like, two seasons.
- 36:10Speaker 2: He's in two seasons.
- 36:11Speaker 1: Oh, really?
- 36:11Speaker 2: Yeah. Because, again, the movie doesn't, like, it was not
- 36:14Speaker 2: made with this whole, like, fascination with what happened. Yeah.
- 36:18Speaker 1: So up next, Meg, I want you to explain, maybe
- 36:20Speaker 1: you can talk specifically about this movie, but more at large,
- 36:23Speaker 1: Sexy Tiger Dates.
- 36:25Speaker 3: The romance?
- 36:26Speaker 1: Yeah, Sexy Tiger Dates.
- 36:27Speaker 2: Yes. So when you met Kevin, this was like.
- 36:30Speaker 1: And there is a Sexy Tiger Date in Manhunter. Is there?
- 36:34Speaker 3: So, well, wait. She says it on their, like, the
- 36:38Speaker 3: ride home, right? What does she say about the tiger?
- 36:41Speaker 3: She had a dream, or.
- 36:43Speaker 1: Because he's talking about, he's like, what photos you're developing,
- 36:46Speaker 1: and he's totally lying, but he's like, oh, it's like
- 36:49Speaker 1: animals in the wild, and she says something about tigers.
- 36:52Speaker 2: Because it was one of the last things she saw.
- 36:54Speaker 1: She lost her sight.
- 36:56Speaker 2: Oh, right.
- 36:56Speaker 3: Yes, okay.
- 36:57Speaker 1: She basically said, yeah, if I ever pet a tiger again,
- 37:01Speaker 1: I'd probably have sex with anybody that led me to it.
- 37:03Speaker 1: That's what she says.
- 37:04Speaker 2: It's the only time Dee acts somewhat normal. Really? That's
- 37:08Speaker 2: what he says. No way.
- 37:11Speaker 3: So, cut to the romance.
- 37:13Speaker 2: Yep.
- 37:14Speaker 3: Dee picks her up for a date.
- 37:16Speaker 1: The greatest love story of our time.
- 37:18Speaker 3: And he takes her to God knows where, but they
- 37:22Speaker 3: have a tiger that has been subdued with medication.
- 37:25Speaker 1: How does he know these people?
- 37:26Speaker 3: Yeah, no idea.
- 37:27Speaker 2: The infrared photos he was looking to get from her
- 37:30Speaker 2: at Chromalux. is for them.
- 37:33Speaker 1: But, like, they're buds. They know him, and he can
- 37:35Speaker 1: pull this.
- 37:36Speaker 3: Yeah, he's very shy, Ryan.
- 37:37Speaker 2: What if he puts on, like, a purse? Like, what
- 37:39Speaker 2: if he walked in and he was the most jovial,
- 37:40Speaker 2: fun guy?
- 37:41Speaker 1: Hey, Frankie!
- 37:42Speaker 2: Robbie, how are you, man?
- 37:43Speaker 3: Good, good, good.
- 37:45Speaker 1: Doing good, man.
- 37:45Speaker 2: Just bringing my girl here.
- 37:47Speaker 3: So, it is a pretty romantic first date, although I
- 37:50Speaker 3: have a note this is the creepiest first date. He
- 37:54Speaker 3: takes her to this setting where there's a tiger that's
- 37:55Speaker 3: been tranquilized and she can touch the tiger and she's
- 38:05Speaker 3: rubbing the tiger and he's just watching her touch the tiger.
- 38:09Speaker 1: And she's scared to touch the tiger and she goes
- 38:12Speaker 1: D and he says I'm here and I'm like what
- 38:16Speaker 1: the fuck is that like if the tiger hopped up
- 38:18Speaker 1: D would just actually I probably would go with D
- 38:21Speaker 1: in the fight actually.
- 38:22Speaker 3: But dragons over tigers I have.
- 38:25Speaker 1: A big note here that you haven't mentioned she touches
- 38:29Speaker 1: the tiger's penis.
- 38:31Speaker 3: Did she touch the penis or did she touch the area?
- 38:33Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, like, splitting hair.
- 38:37Speaker 3: I don't think she touched the penis.
- 38:38Speaker 1: I rewound this part.
- 38:41Speaker 2: Okay. When does she.
- 38:42Speaker 1: I don't think so. She's petting the tiger. No. She's
- 38:45Speaker 1: rubbing its belly. I will send you this clip. And
- 38:49Speaker 1: she's going lower and lower. And I go, what? I'm
- 38:52Speaker 1: watching this like, what?
- 38:54Speaker 2: Well, it's kind of a precursor.
- 38:58Speaker 1: I mean, she's all... She's all... All riled up. Actions
- 39:04Speaker 1: are a good scene. I like the scene. And then
- 39:06Speaker 1: when they leave, she's like, oh, everybody, all the girls
- 39:10Speaker 1: at work are into you.
- 39:11Speaker 3: Yes.
- 39:11Speaker 1: And I wrote a note. I go, women are fucked.
- 39:15Speaker 1: Why would women be attracted to him? They said, the
- 39:19Speaker 1: girls at work told me you have an incredible body.
- 39:21Speaker 1: He does.
- 39:22Speaker 2: He does.
- 39:22Speaker 1: I mean, true. This is what.
- 39:24Speaker 2: She does at their house later.
- 39:26Speaker 3: Right yeah she's back at their nursing home.
- 39:29Speaker 1: Yeah yeah yeah yeah and um when they go to
- 39:33Speaker 1: the his house that i had the closed captions on
- 39:37Speaker 1: and when it will play music it'll say like rap
- 39:39Speaker 1: music in brackets for this scene it said seductive jazz
- 39:44Speaker 1: And I loved that. I wrote that down immediately.
- 39:47Speaker 2: It was a little too old-timey to be seductive. It
- 39:49Speaker 2: was a little bit.
- 39:50Speaker 3: It was weird. Very fitting for the setting.
- 39:53Speaker 1: That probably was at the nursing home. That probably was
- 39:56Speaker 1: the newest thing they had.
- 39:57Speaker 3: But there's a very important part foreshadowing. So when she
- 40:01Speaker 3: goes to his house for the first time, she says
- 40:04Speaker 3: like nine steps to the clock and six steps to
- 40:07Speaker 3: the couch.
- 40:08Speaker 2: She says it out loud?
- 40:09Speaker 3: Yeah, she says it out loud. and she says something like, oh, sorry,
- 40:13Speaker 3: it's habit, because she's blind, and I.
- 40:16Speaker 2: I'm just telling the audience that I'm blind.
- 40:18Speaker 3: Oh, she's blind.
- 40:19Speaker 2: I'm just telling the audience that I'm blind. This is
- 40:20Speaker 2: what I do.
- 40:21Speaker 1: So, Brian and I have, like, this reoccurring fictional character of, like,
- 40:25Speaker 1: an idiotic moviegoer in the theater who's so sucked in,
- 40:28Speaker 1: and I just picture him going like, oh, right, because
- 40:31Speaker 1: she's blind.
- 40:32Speaker 2: Now, an hour and ten minutes in. Now, he figures
- 40:35Speaker 2: it out. It's fucking perfect.
- 40:37Speaker 3: So, I texted you guys that I felt like she
- 40:39Speaker 3: was a little too... DTF, in my opinion.
- 40:42Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 40:44Speaker 3: She's really ready to.
- 40:45Speaker 2: She was, but, like, it's kind of interesting.
- 40:47Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 40:48Speaker 2: I feel like most movies would never go this way. Yeah.
- 40:50Speaker 1: I mean, the.
- 40:51Speaker 3: Tiger date was very nice. He knew she wanted to
- 40:54Speaker 3: see the tigers.
- 40:55Speaker 2: Yep.
- 40:56Speaker 3: But I felt like it was a little bit.
- 40:59Speaker 2: But also, like, what's... I think the idea of it's
- 41:01Speaker 2: so interesting, too, because, like, the idea is, like, this
- 41:03Speaker 2: is a quote-unquote dangerous animal that you shouldn't be this
- 41:05Speaker 2: close to. You can literally put yourself on top of
- 41:08Speaker 2: it because it's sedated... Or because it's under control in
- 41:11Speaker 2: some way. Yes. For now.
- 41:13Speaker 1: Now you're thinking like Brett Ratner.
- 41:15Speaker 2: Yes.
- 41:15Speaker 1: Yes. So I thought this was like kind of genius
- 41:19Speaker 1: for this.
- 41:20Speaker 2: Oh, never mind.
- 41:20Speaker 1: It's a movie.
- 41:21Speaker 2: A plus.
- 41:21Speaker 1: For the storytelling purposes.
- 41:23Speaker 2: Keep the opening scene in.
- 41:24Speaker 1: Of her being blind and him being so obsessed with
- 41:27Speaker 1: the home videos. So he's watching home videos now. He
- 41:30Speaker 1: puts on home videos for the next family. Yeah. And
- 41:33Speaker 1: she can't see it because she's blind. And I wrote,
- 41:36Speaker 1: I hope he doesn't accidentally unmute it.
- 41:38Speaker 2: Yes.
- 41:39Speaker 1: Because then she'll be like, what is this? But I
- 41:42Speaker 1: thought that the mom was like really hot and it
- 41:45Speaker 1: was weak. She's wearing like a skimpy bikini. And the
- 41:47Speaker 1: dad who's videotaping his own family is like shooting down
- 41:51Speaker 1: her cleavage. And I'm like this. No, this is weird.
- 41:55Speaker 1: And then she kind of makes a move to hook
- 41:58Speaker 1: up with him. And she goes and touches over his pants.
- 42:02Speaker 1: And she's basically like, oh, my God, you have, like,
- 42:04Speaker 1: a rock-hard boner right now. And, yeah, he does.
- 42:07Speaker 3: DTF.
- 42:08Speaker 1: DTF.
- 42:09Speaker 2: You saw the tiger, right? But, no, I forgot, like,
- 42:16Speaker 2: they went this far with this scene. So I was like,
- 42:18Speaker 2: holy shit, they're fucking doing this. I was very surprised
- 42:21Speaker 2: by that.
- 42:22Speaker 1: This is his dream come true. Like, he's actually with
- 42:24Speaker 1: a real woman while watching the videotape of his next victims.
- 42:28Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
- 42:29Speaker 1: But it's also kind of, what, you have a problem
- 42:32Speaker 1: with this?
- 42:32Speaker 2: No, I'm just saying, I don't think he can handle this.
- 42:34Speaker 1: No, he can't. Like, he doesn't know how to have, like,
- 42:36Speaker 1: a normal... Yeah, he can't.
- 42:38Speaker 3: This is when he starts to go off the rails.
- 42:40Speaker 1: There's a great Michael Fassbender movie.
- 42:42Speaker 2: When he's two families dead!
- 42:45Speaker 3: Two families are murdered!
- 42:46Speaker 1: He starts, he starts... He's getting a little shaky here, guys.
- 42:51Speaker 3: He's really going off the rails.
- 42:52Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't want him to be the
- 42:54Speaker 1: captain of my ship at this point.
- 42:56Speaker 2: Um.
- 42:56Speaker 1: But there's a really great Fassbender movie called Shame. Have
- 43:00Speaker 1: you ever seen it? It's about sex addiction. Okay. And
- 43:03Speaker 1: he's a sex addict and he's like having anonymous sex
- 43:07Speaker 1: and like meeting with prostitutes. So he has this like
- 43:11Speaker 1: dirty anonymous sex all the time, every day, multiple times
- 43:15Speaker 1: a day. He has no problem performing. And then he
- 43:17Speaker 1: genuinely meets like a woman who likes him and they
- 43:21Speaker 1: go to hook up and he can't get aroused. And
- 43:24Speaker 1: it's kind of like, oh, he doesn't know how to
- 43:25Speaker 1: be normal. That's what I think D would be like.
- 43:29Speaker 1: He doesn't know how to be normal. But this is...
- 43:31Speaker 1: And I want to ask your opinion on this. Because
- 43:33Speaker 1: this whole relationship is like, what could have been? Because
- 43:37Speaker 1: there's obviously a lot of discussion in general about nature
- 43:40Speaker 1: versus nurture. But I think D is portrayed as like,
- 43:44Speaker 1: he would have been fine if he didn't have his grandmother.
- 43:47Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.
- 43:49Speaker 2: Right?
- 43:50Speaker 3: He's a nice guy. Yeah.
- 43:52Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 43:53Speaker 3: No, I'm kidding. No, I think that, yeah, I think
- 43:57Speaker 3: his grandmother kind of ruined him.
- 43:58Speaker 1: No, right here. Meg, is there any fixing him? Is
- 44:02Speaker 1: there any amount of therapy? If he lived to be
- 44:04Speaker 1: a thousand years old, is there an amount of therapy
- 44:07Speaker 1: that would fix?
- 44:08Speaker 3: At this point, I'm going to sadly say I don't
- 44:11Speaker 3: think so.
- 44:12Speaker 2: I mean, the only final step you could take, he
- 44:15Speaker 2: does take and it doesn't work.
- 44:17Speaker 3: What's that?
- 44:20Speaker 1: I did have a note here so we'll get to
- 44:23Speaker 1: the next morning but I was listening to a podcast
- 44:25Speaker 1: on covert narcissism and it was it was very interesting
- 44:33Speaker 1: and it reminded me like what they were describing it
- 44:37Speaker 1: was like oh I know a person just like this
- 44:39Speaker 1: but they were saying can covert narcissists like have interactions
- 44:45Speaker 1: in a relationship that are healthy And the therapist on
- 44:51Speaker 1: the podcast was like, I think it's a sliding scale.
- 44:53Speaker 1: I think if you're like a 4 or a 5, sure.
- 44:57Speaker 1: If you're a 9 or a 10, I think you're–
- 44:59Speaker 1: you don't know. You can't like be in a– you
- 45:02Speaker 1: can't have normal loving interactions in a relationship if you're
- 45:05Speaker 1: a 9 or a 10. I would say he's like
- 45:07Speaker 1: an 11 on whatever he is.
- 45:09Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 45:10Speaker 1: So they wake up the next day. They made sweet,
- 45:13Speaker 1: sweet love.
- 45:15Speaker 3: And– Well, she's walking around the fountain. She's not in bed.
- 45:19Speaker 1: She's not in bed. But he, you know, he has
- 45:21Speaker 1: some issues.
- 45:22Speaker 3: He's got some issues.
- 45:24Speaker 1: So he talks to the Red Dragon painting.
- 45:27Speaker 3: Is that the first time that you see the painting?
- 45:29Speaker 2: Yes.
- 45:30Speaker 1: Yes. In his attic.
- 45:31Speaker 2: It's in the book at the beginning, but it's in
- 45:33Speaker 2: the attic.
- 45:33Speaker 1: It's not the OG painting. That will come later. Yes.
- 45:36Speaker 1: But a copy of the painting is hanging in the attic.
- 45:38Speaker 3: Above his locker of... instruments of death.
- 45:42Speaker 2: Yes.
- 45:43Speaker 1: And he's like, you cannot have her. Yes. And then
- 45:46Speaker 1: he just, he, he puts a shotgun in his mouth.
- 45:49Speaker 1: And again, I'm laughing because of how fucking crazy he is. Like,
- 45:53Speaker 1: if you're a woman, you, you, you like this guy
- 45:56Speaker 1: at work, you slept with him. The next morning you
- 45:59Speaker 1: wake up and he has a shotgun in his mouth.
- 46:01Speaker 1: You're like, Whoa, he does it so intensely. And the
- 46:04Speaker 1: music is blaring.
- 46:05Speaker 2: And I was just, I mean, like you're saying, like
- 46:08Speaker 2: it does trend to funny. Cause it's just so intense.
- 46:11Speaker 3: Um, and she's outside. She's not even in the house.
- 46:14Speaker 3: She's walking around the fountain and he's looking at her
- 46:16Speaker 3: out the window and he's feeling very conflicted.
- 46:21Speaker 1: Yes. And I keep saying this, but I, he just
- 46:25Speaker 1: keeps making me laugh. So he drops her off and
- 46:28Speaker 1: he's realizing like, I can't date her. I'm going to
- 46:30Speaker 1: end up killing her. The dragon's going to take her.
- 46:32Speaker 1: She doesn't deserve this. I have a moral compass too. Um,
- 46:37Speaker 1: So he's like, I got to end this. So he's
- 46:39Speaker 1: acting really weird in the van. Believe it or not,
- 46:41Speaker 1: acting really weird in the van. And he drops her
- 46:43Speaker 1: off and she's like, everything good? And he just says,
- 46:46Speaker 1: I have to go now. Which is true. My planet
- 46:50Speaker 1: needs me. My planet needs me. I have to go now.
- 46:55Speaker 1: And he does a little field trip. But before we
- 46:59Speaker 1: get to the field trip, there's a moment where it
- 47:02Speaker 1: shows Lecter in his cell. And because... He is now
- 47:07Speaker 1: cooperating with the investigation. He has this like elaborate meal
- 47:10Speaker 1: set up for him. And then he surprises the chef
- 47:13Speaker 1: and the glass. He just pops up and goes, thank you.
- 47:17Speaker 1: I really enjoyed that.
- 47:19Speaker 3: He gets to have wine.
- 47:21Speaker 1: He does get to have wine. And is this in,
- 47:26Speaker 1: is this, I can't remember. Is it Brooklyn?
- 47:28Speaker 2: Brooklyn Museum.
- 47:29Speaker 1: Brooklyn.
- 47:29Speaker 3: Yes, definitely New York.
- 47:32Speaker 1: This is probably the hardest I laughed. The first time
- 47:35Speaker 1: I saw this. As far as doing something crazy, this
- 47:39Speaker 1: is an 11 out of 10.
- 47:40Speaker 2: My notice, this is the reason we're all here today.
- 47:44Speaker 3: He's really going off the rails here.
- 47:45Speaker 2: I love this so much.
- 47:48Speaker 1: Explain what happens. Even in the 80s, keep in mind,
- 47:53Speaker 1: you're in a museum.
- 47:54Speaker 2: So Dee goes to the Brooklyn Museum.
- 47:55Speaker 1: There's people everywhere. There's cameras, security. Right.
- 47:58Speaker 2: Everywhere. So we cut to Dee walking through the Brooklyn
- 48:02Speaker 2: Museum with one of the curators, and she's like, Talking
- 48:05Speaker 2: about how she's like, oh, we've been talking through letter correspondence.
- 48:10Speaker 2: You just weren't the way I would imagine you would look.
- 48:12Speaker 2: And he's like, what do you mean? And she just
- 48:14Speaker 2: says nothing, which we all know what she really means.
- 48:17Speaker 2: That was great. So she brings him into a room
- 48:21Speaker 2: and opens the original Red Dragon painting by William Blake.
- 48:26Speaker 2: Dee is overcome with just sheer emotion.
- 48:29Speaker 1: So I'm sorry to interrupt you.
- 48:30Speaker 2: Go ahead.
- 48:31Speaker 1: He gets so... He's looking at the painting. He gets
- 48:34Speaker 1: so close. Like, his nose is almost touching it. And
- 48:38Speaker 1: I thought, this woman must be like, hey!
- 48:40Speaker 2: But she's a curator, so I think she's into it.
- 48:42Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 48:43Speaker 3: I bet art people are like that.
- 48:45Speaker 1: Totally.
- 48:46Speaker 2: I want to be this close to this thing I admire.
- 48:49Speaker 2: So then, like, he backs up, realizes, I know what
- 48:51Speaker 2: I need to do next to save myself and to
- 48:53Speaker 2: save Reba. So he pulls out that little, like, beam
- 48:56Speaker 2: thing and just knocks this woman unconscious and then starts
- 48:59Speaker 2: ripping the painting up and eating it. I'm not kidding you.
- 49:02Speaker 2: It's always going to be in theaters the weekend it opened.
- 49:04Speaker 2: Our entire theater started dying laughing because, and not because
- 49:07Speaker 2: the movie does it in a very good way. I
- 49:09Speaker 2: have to give them that credit. It's just so insane.
- 49:10Speaker 2: You just start laughing.
- 49:11Speaker 1: It's so insane.
- 49:12Speaker 3: It's so insane.
- 49:13Speaker 2: Because he's also like, Ralph Fiennes is just shoving it
- 49:15Speaker 2: in his mouth as hard as he can. And he's
- 49:17Speaker 2: just chewing it. And then the best shot of this
- 49:19Speaker 2: entire movie is when the other lady opens the door
- 49:22Speaker 2: and you see her point of view of him just
- 49:23Speaker 2: being like, and he just looks over at her. And
- 49:27Speaker 2: she's just like, and she looks over and sees the
- 49:29Speaker 2: woman knocked unconscious. And he's like, eating a painting.
- 49:33Speaker 1: And she just screams.
- 49:34Speaker 2: And he just runs over and grabs her and that
- 49:36Speaker 2: scene ends. It's amazing.
- 49:37Speaker 1: What would a 200-year-old painting do to your insides? Also,
- 49:40Speaker 1: what's in the paint? What did they do for the
- 49:42Speaker 1: paint back then?
- 49:43Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure Dee's okay.
- 49:44Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like he's okay.
- 49:46Speaker 1: It would be so hard to eat. It's so dry.
- 49:48Speaker 3: It would be so hard to eat.
- 49:49Speaker 1: You need water. You can't just eat that painting.
- 49:51Speaker 2: He turned out okay.
- 49:52Speaker 3: Why didn't he kill her? Banging her over the head
- 49:56Speaker 3: scene was so weak, I thought.
- 49:59Speaker 2: I think they were kind of... Sorry, I hit this.
- 50:01Speaker 1: No, it's all good.
- 50:02Speaker 2: What they were alluding to is the idea of... Hamilton before,
- 50:04Speaker 2: it's his first time he's getting sloppy. And they say later...
- 50:08Speaker 2: now that he has the attention and stuff like that,
- 50:10Speaker 2: he's starting to crumble under it. So he's starting to panic.
- 50:13Speaker 2: And then also the whole thing, the movie, I don't
- 50:15Speaker 2: think there's a great job telling you, but like you
- 50:17Speaker 2: see it because Reba's in his life. It's this new
- 50:22Speaker 2: X factor that he didn't anticipate. And that is affecting
- 50:26Speaker 2: what he's doing now too. So I think the idea
- 50:28Speaker 2: is that like he's crumbling, but already has been crumbling,
- 50:33Speaker 2: but you don't give him a 24th chance. He'll be fine. Yeah. Yeah.
- 50:36Speaker 1: Yeah, so he goes back to Chromalux, which is his
- 50:41Speaker 1: job at the photo company, and he sees... Love this.
- 50:45Speaker 1: Billy Graham.
- 50:45Speaker 2: Billy Graham.
- 50:47Speaker 3: How did he get out of the museum, too, by
- 50:49Speaker 3: the way? Like, after eating the painting and knocking the
- 50:52Speaker 3: people unconscious?
- 50:53Speaker 2: I think he's in his 80s. Like you said, it's not.
- 50:55Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not.
- 50:57Speaker 3: I had a problem with that part.
- 50:59Speaker 1: He wouldn't get away with it now, that's for sure.
- 51:01Speaker 3: No.
- 51:01Speaker 2: Oh, so... I think it's before... Is it? No, sorry,
- 51:08Speaker 2: they go to Chromalox. I'm sorry, you're right.
- 51:10Speaker 1: No, sorry, this is before.
- 51:11Speaker 3: So wait, they figure out, the FBI figures out that
- 51:14Speaker 3: it's Chromalox.
- 51:15Speaker 2: Yes, that's right, they figure it out.
- 51:16Speaker 1: Yeah, right.
- 51:16Speaker 2: So Will's watching the tapes and he has to wear
- 51:18Speaker 2: the tapes. Yes. And he has to go see the tape, okay.
- 51:20Speaker 3: Because Lecter said you need to see them living the
- 51:23Speaker 3: way they caught his eye.
- 51:24Speaker 2: So the best line in this movie delivered by Jack Crawford,
- 51:27Speaker 2: played by Harvey Keitel, is they show them on the
- 51:29Speaker 2: plane flying to Missouri where Chromalox.
- 51:32Speaker 1: They also, they have a private jet. I guess the
- 51:34Speaker 1: FBI is the FBI, but this is so... so big
- 51:37Speaker 1: of a deal that they have a private jet for
- 51:39Speaker 1: them too. But anyways, I bet.
- 51:42Speaker 2: Yeah. So he's like, um, in the most wooden way possible. Well,
- 51:48Speaker 2: check this out. We just got word. Um, Brooklyn museum
- 51:53Speaker 2: of art, someone attacked two employees and get this, ate
- 51:58Speaker 2: the Blake painting. That made me laugh. So fucking hard.
- 52:02Speaker 1: When I watched this, it doesn't will say it's him.
- 52:04Speaker 1: It's him, but it could be him.
- 52:07Speaker 3: What a weird coincidence.
- 52:09Speaker 1: It's maybe him.
- 52:10Speaker 2: It's the same guy?
- 52:11Speaker 1: It's maybe him.
- 52:11Speaker 2: But Keitel delivers it with minimal to anything on it,
- 52:16Speaker 2: and I just started dying laughing.
- 52:17Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 52:18Speaker 2: It's like, clearly this is the guy. Get the security footage. Insane.
- 52:23Speaker 1: So they go to Chromalux, and Will's like, I need
- 52:27Speaker 1: personal information for every single employee you have. And the
- 52:30Speaker 1: guy goes, no. So then he says, all right, we're
- 52:32Speaker 1: looking for a white male with a facial disfigurement He
- 52:36Speaker 1: drives a panel van, uh, possible military background. And then
- 52:40Speaker 1: they go hot as hell, hot, sexy as hell, giant
- 52:44Speaker 1: dragon tattooed in his ass. Oh, Francis. And they go,
- 52:48Speaker 1: I think they're talking about Mr. D.
- 52:50Speaker 2: I wrote, um, the manager was so staunchly defending him. Like,
- 52:53Speaker 2: I'm not going to give them, I'm like, this manager
- 52:54Speaker 2: must be related to the lawyer for Freddy Krueger during
- 52:57Speaker 2: the trials.
- 52:59Speaker 1: The woman though, that worked there was kind of like, okay.
- 53:02Speaker 2: She's like, I, I knew this was going to happen. Yeah.
- 53:05Speaker 3: Uh, But wait, then Dee comes in.
- 53:07Speaker 1: And sees Will.
- 53:08Speaker 3: And sees Will.
- 53:09Speaker 2: Yes, and he's like, oh shit, I gotta get the
- 53:10Speaker 2: fuck out of here.
- 53:11Speaker 1: And then it was kind of cheesy, but he goes, uh-oh.
- 53:15Speaker 2: Like the Home Alone.
- 53:17Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Home Alone.
- 53:20Speaker 1: So Dee immediately sees Will Graham and then blames Reba.
- 53:25Speaker 1: Because he thinks that Reba took something from the house. Because.
- 53:30Speaker 3: No, I have a different interpretation. I don't think he
- 53:32Speaker 3: blames Reba.
- 53:33Speaker 2: Well, he says that to her. He's like, what did
- 53:35Speaker 2: you see at the house?
- 53:36Speaker 1: Right.
- 53:36Speaker 2: Why would you tell, yeah.
- 53:38Speaker 3: Well, I feel like he, the dragon, you know, the dragon,
- 53:41Speaker 3: he's trying to protect her from the dragon.
- 53:42Speaker 1: No, but he explicitly says, like, you took something from
- 53:45Speaker 1: the house and that's why the police are now involved.
- 53:47Speaker 2: Because, again, his self-awareness, he knows his house appearance is horrifying,
- 53:51Speaker 2: even though she cannot see. He's like, there must be
- 53:53Speaker 2: something that threw you off.
- 53:54Speaker 1: It's got to smell.
- 53:56Speaker 3: It's got to smell. Bad. Yeah. And a blind person,
- 54:01Speaker 3: if they rely on their other senses, I would think.
- 54:04Speaker 1: So you don't think going into New York City in
- 54:07Speaker 1: a museum with cameras, even in the 80s, attacking two
- 54:10Speaker 1: women and eating a painting tipped off the cops, you
- 54:13Speaker 1: think was Reba?
- 54:15Speaker 3: He's going off the rails, remember?
- 54:17Speaker 1: He's definitely now at this point. Oh, well, sorry. We
- 54:23Speaker 1: skipped the whole Ralph part.
- 54:24Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 54:25Speaker 1: Right. Well, actually, Meg, why don't you touch upon the
- 54:28Speaker 1: Ralph part?
- 54:29Speaker 3: Well, so he goes to Reba's house because he thinks
- 54:32Speaker 3: that Reba told the police something.
- 54:34Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 54:35Speaker 3: And wait, is it just coincidentally Ralph is there?
- 54:40Speaker 1: She's just getting a ride home from him.
- 54:42Speaker 3: Oh, yeah. And she was venting to Ralph about what
- 54:46Speaker 3: happened with Dee. And you can hear their conversation.
- 54:49Speaker 2: You know where her heart was.
- 54:51Speaker 1: Yes.
- 54:51Speaker 3: And she says something like, thank you for letting me vent.
- 54:54Speaker 3: They have a very benign kiss on the cheek. You know,
- 54:58Speaker 3: I think she makes it perfectly clear she doesn't want
- 55:00Speaker 3: anything more. Thank you for letting me vent. He says
- 55:02Speaker 3: something like, I'll always be there for you. And then
- 55:06Speaker 3: he turns around to walk down the steps and bang,
- 55:11Speaker 3: he gets shot.
- 55:12Speaker 1: Speaking of, I said that Jack and Will sentenced Philip
- 55:16Speaker 1: Zimmer Hoffman to death. Reba sentenced Frank to death.
- 55:19Speaker 3: Yeah, I know.
- 55:21Speaker 1: And so he's definitely... Definitely going to kill Reba, it
- 55:25Speaker 1: seems like. And he explains to her, I'll shoot you,
- 55:30Speaker 1: then myself. He tells her that. Then he says, I
- 55:38Speaker 1: can't do it. He has a shotgun. He's going to
- 55:40Speaker 1: shoot Reba. Because Reba not only tipped off the cops,
- 55:42Speaker 1: but now is, in his mind, is like banging Ralph
- 55:47Speaker 1: and betrayed him. Even though he broke up with her, essentially. Because...
- 55:52Speaker 1: he was so scared of the dragon getting her as
- 55:54Speaker 1: we all are.
- 55:55Speaker 3: And, um, he's back at his place.
- 55:59Speaker 1: Yes. The rightest place. He lights, essentially lights his own
- 56:02Speaker 1: house on fire.
- 56:03Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 56:05Speaker 1: And he's going to kill her. And then at the
- 56:07Speaker 1: end he just says, I can't do it. And I
- 56:10Speaker 1: thought this, she has a great scream here.
- 56:12Speaker 2: Yes.
- 56:13Speaker 1: So he turns the gun on himself, puts the shotgun
- 56:15Speaker 1: in his mouth and then pulls the trigger and And
- 56:19Speaker 1: you don't see his head explode, but you see the
- 56:21Speaker 1: splash of blood on Reba's face.
- 56:24Speaker 2: I also liked how Reba handled, like, because when he
- 56:27Speaker 2: starts saying the things about the Red Dragon, she, like,
- 56:30Speaker 2: starts to get really, like, I mean.
- 56:32Speaker 1: Alarmed.
- 56:33Speaker 2: Yeah, alarmed a lot. Like, this is not okay. So
- 56:35Speaker 2: she realizes, I'm dealing with a person who is incredibly unwell.
- 56:38Speaker 2: So then she plays into it a little bit, being like, no, no, no, like,
- 56:42Speaker 2: I can help you get away from this thing. She
- 56:45Speaker 2: doesn't act like, you're insane, stay away from me. She's like,
- 56:47Speaker 2: I can... She tries to play into his human nature.
- 56:50Speaker 3: Unfortunately, yeah.
- 56:53Speaker 1: So she survives. Will shows up. The house is being
- 56:57Speaker 1: burned down. Then the house, I thought it was unnecessary,
- 57:00Speaker 1: but the house explodes.
- 57:02Speaker 3: Well, but she, thank God, she remembered nine steps to
- 57:05Speaker 3: the door and the clock or whatever. Because she's blind.
- 57:08Speaker 1: She's blind.
- 57:11Speaker 3: And the whole house is in flames.
- 57:12Speaker 1: Yep.
- 57:13Speaker 3: And when she's crawling around trying to find her way,
- 57:15Speaker 3: she touches Will. what she thinks is Dee's face.
- 57:19Speaker 2: Yes.
- 57:21Speaker 1: Yes, and you'd actually show it, but it's so the
- 57:24Speaker 1: dead body of Dollar Hyde is so mangled and covered
- 57:28Speaker 1: in blood from the shotgun blast that you don't question it.
- 57:31Speaker 2: Right.
- 57:32Speaker 1: And Meg, I have another psychologist question for you. I said,
- 57:36Speaker 1: is there any fixing Dollar Hyde? How do you fix Reba?
- 57:39Speaker 1: How do you get Reba to date again after this scenario?
- 57:44Speaker 3: It might be challenging.
- 57:45Speaker 1: It might be challenging.
- 57:46Speaker 2: I think Will did a pretty good job.
- 57:48Speaker 3: But I have hope for Reba.
- 57:50Speaker 1: Will gives her a pep talk.
- 57:51Speaker 2: I actually really like this part.
- 57:53Speaker 3: I have more hope for Reba than I did for Dee.
- 57:55Speaker 1: I would think so.
- 57:57Speaker 2: I agree.
- 57:58Speaker 1: Yeah. Reba's blood trail is pretty small in comparison. Will
- 58:03Speaker 1: says whatever part of him was still human was there
- 58:05Speaker 1: because of you, which is true. You probably saved some lives.
- 58:08Speaker 1: Also true. She said, I should have known. And then
- 58:11Speaker 1: Will says, trust me, I've been there.
- 58:13Speaker 2: But also just like also just ending with that joke
- 58:16Speaker 2: besides the hair you gotta fix the hair it's just
- 58:18Speaker 2: so wonderfully nice.
- 58:19Speaker 1: Yeah you gotta break the ice and the way.
- 58:21Speaker 2: She does that and she just like cries and laughs
- 58:23Speaker 2: at the same time is so great.
- 58:24Speaker 1: I really like that moment so this home completely exploded
- 58:28Speaker 1: like into smithereens and they found the completely intact journal
- 58:32Speaker 1: again now.
- 58:33Speaker 2: Offered with the fucking sack of potatoes moments here's his book.
- 58:40Speaker 1: You read it Will You should read it. Even though
- 58:43Speaker 1: I was a claims adjuster, I worked for an insurance company,
- 58:46Speaker 1: if the home exploded and it was in the safe,
- 58:49Speaker 1: it would still be very damaged.
- 58:51Speaker 3: Insurance corner.
- 58:52Speaker 1: It would be insurance corner. It would be smoke damaged.
- 58:55Speaker 1: It would be like we.
- 58:57Speaker 2: You're managing the dollar hide policy, right? Yeah?
- 59:00Speaker 1: Oh, man. In the Palisades fire, there was a World
- 59:03Speaker 1: Series ring and a safe, and we ended up salvaging
- 59:07Speaker 1: the safe and getting the World Series ring out, and
- 59:09Speaker 1: then we ended up getting it cleaned and restored. But
- 59:12Speaker 1: it was still terribly soot damaged. Really? Oh, yeah. So
- 59:16Speaker 1: this journal would be toast. But Will reads through the
- 59:21Speaker 1: journal and he determines Dee wasn't born a monster. He
- 59:25Speaker 1: was made one through years and years of abuse.
- 59:27Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
- 59:29Speaker 1: So... Now there's that moment where Will's back in Florida.
- 59:33Speaker 1: Everything's good. He's chilling with the fam. Having a great time.
- 59:37Speaker 1: Everything's good. And his idiot son, he says, will you go?
- 59:42Speaker 1: We're making s'mores. Go get the s'mores ingredients.
- 59:46Speaker 2: Well, it's actually the son's fault because he wants to
- 59:48Speaker 2: make the s'mores.
- 59:48Speaker 3: What a pig.
- 59:49Speaker 1: Oh, this is the son.
- 59:50Speaker 2: Yeah, of course. It's his fault. Yep.
- 59:52Speaker 1: And then.
- 59:53Speaker 2: My note literally is, Josh is taking way too long.
- 59:57Speaker 3: Yeah, way too long. Way too long.
- 59:59Speaker 2: Yes.
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: So I thought this was really cool where he's like,
- 1:00:05Speaker 1: what the heck is taking Josh so long? And then
- 1:00:07Speaker 1: he goes into the house and sees the shattered mirror. Yes.
- 1:00:11Speaker 1: I thought that was great.
- 1:00:12Speaker 3: That was pretty good.
- 1:00:12Speaker 1: So why I think Manhunter is worse, doesn't have the
- 1:00:16Speaker 1: opening scene, doesn't have this sequence.
- 1:00:19Speaker 3: Oh, really?
- 1:00:19Speaker 2: No.
- 1:00:20Speaker 1: So Dollar Hyde never goes back to Will's house.
- 1:00:23Speaker 3: Where does it end?
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: And what's so baffling to me.
- 1:00:25Speaker 2: Dollar Hyde's place.
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: At dollar heads place what's so baffling to me is
- 1:00:29Speaker 1: in manhunter they do the story where lector gives dollar
- 1:00:34Speaker 1: hide yes will's address so i was like oh this
- 1:00:37Speaker 1: must end the same way because it goes back to
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: this that was foreshadowing right but it doesn't no so
- 1:00:43Speaker 1: it's kind of pointless.
- 1:00:44Speaker 2: Well i think the idea was like the police are
- 1:00:47Speaker 2: able to get to him before he can expand beyond
- 1:00:50Speaker 2: that point still does a lot of damage but he
- 1:00:52Speaker 2: can go beyond that point.
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: Um I wrote, Jack is the Grim Reaper. Don't have
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: anything to do with Jack.
- 1:01:00Speaker 2: The voicemail thing is the laziest shit on the planet.
- 1:01:02Speaker 2: It drove me insane. Hey, Will. Will, guess what? Dollar
- 1:01:08Speaker 2: Hive might be out. We don't think it's the guy
- 1:01:10Speaker 2: who's dead. It's probably a different face.
- 1:01:12Speaker 1: Is this guy Ralph?
- 1:01:13Speaker 2: I think he's behind the door on the second left
- 1:01:15Speaker 2: of your apartment. It's fucking terrible. I'm sorry. I love
- 1:01:18Speaker 2: this movie, but still.
- 1:01:20Speaker 1: Uh, yeah. It was bad.
- 1:01:21Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:01:22Speaker 1: So now Will walks in to his master bedroom and
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: sees Dollar Hyde with a big shard of glass holding
- 1:01:29Speaker 1: his son hostage with the glass to his face. Tough, tough, tough.
- 1:01:33Speaker 3: I thought this was a good scene.
- 1:01:34Speaker 1: I love it. This is so smart. This is a
- 1:01:36Speaker 1: very good standoff. This is great. Like, psychology corner.
- 1:01:39Speaker 3: Psychology corner.
- 1:01:40Speaker 1: Explain this part.
- 1:01:41Speaker 3: Yeah, so he knows that... Because he just read the journal. Yeah,
- 1:01:45Speaker 3: Will's grandmother... Oh, no, sorry. Dee's grandmother... shamed him for
- 1:01:49Speaker 3: being a little boy and having accidents and stuff like that.
- 1:01:52Speaker 3: And Will's son is so scared. He pees his pants
- 1:01:55Speaker 3: and it's obvious. And so he assesses the situation and
- 1:02:00Speaker 3: makes a great judgment call. And he starts shaming his
- 1:02:03Speaker 3: son and using the same tone that Dee's grandmother would
- 1:02:07Speaker 3: have used. And Dee gets so upset and so angry
- 1:02:11Speaker 3: at Will that, He lets the son go and goes
- 1:02:14Speaker 3: after Will.
- 1:02:16Speaker 1: You disgusting little beast. Do you want me to cut
- 1:02:18Speaker 1: it off? And then I won't say the word, but
- 1:02:20Speaker 1: he goes, don't cry at me, you little... Another time
- 1:02:24Speaker 1: I burst out laughing. Number one question in this moment.
- 1:02:28Speaker 1: What is Will's son thinking? What is Josh thinking?
- 1:02:31Speaker 3: I know.
- 1:02:31Speaker 1: He's so confused.
- 1:02:33Speaker 2: So confused. Might have just created D2. Just saying. Yeah.
- 1:02:36Speaker 1: Uh... Um, if he, Josh just cries and says, sorry, daddy,
- 1:02:42Speaker 1: I'm a dirty little beast. So Dollar Hyde hugs Josh.
- 1:02:46Speaker 1: And then, well then, so this is when Dollar Hyde
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: like loses his cool.
- 1:02:50Speaker 2: Yes.
- 1:02:50Speaker 1: Will says to his son who does not have a
- 1:02:52Speaker 1: hair lip, you're a hair lip and no one will
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: ever love you. So then he's like, okay, uh, they
- 1:02:58Speaker 1: have a fight. Will runs to his bedroom to get
- 1:03:01Speaker 1: his gun. He locks the door. And this I think
- 1:03:04Speaker 1: is a genius moment. Um, That is super scary where
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: Dollar Hyde's banging the door to knock it down and
- 1:03:11Speaker 1: Will's holding the gun. And then the banging stops. Yes. Oh.
- 1:03:15Speaker 1: So you're like, oh, fuck.
- 1:03:16Speaker 2: Yes.
- 1:03:17Speaker 1: Yes.
- 1:03:18Speaker 2: Yes.
- 1:03:18Speaker 1: And then that idiot Molly just comes up and goes like, guys,
- 1:03:22Speaker 1: what about the s'mores? You know?
- 1:03:24Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:03:24Speaker 3: God.
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: Didn't you see.
- 1:03:27Speaker 2: The smashed mirror lady? I know. Infuriating.
- 1:03:29Speaker 1: And then Will, this is how Shannon would die in
- 1:03:32Speaker 1: this scene. Will screams. So Molly's just walking up and
- 1:03:35Speaker 1: goes like, Josh, Will, where are you? No idea what's
- 1:03:37Speaker 1: going on. Will goes, Molly, get down! And then Molly immediately,
- 1:03:42Speaker 1: like within a millisecond, dives on the floor on her stomach.
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: Would never happen. Would never. She'd be like, what? Get
- 1:03:50Speaker 1: down where?
- 1:03:51Speaker 3: I'd be like, why? Why get down?
- 1:03:53Speaker 1: For what?
- 1:03:54Speaker 2: My memory of this scene, which clearly I was wrong with,
- 1:03:57Speaker 2: is I thought Molly killed Dee because they have that
- 1:04:01Speaker 2: scene where he's like, because of what happened where they
- 1:04:04Speaker 2: gave the address away, I need to show you how
- 1:04:06Speaker 2: to use a gun. Because... Oh, yeah, we.
- 1:04:09Speaker 3: Should have talked about that.
- 1:04:10Speaker 2: So I thought, like, oh, this is where they're setting
- 1:04:13Speaker 2: up that she's going to be actually the one who
- 1:04:15Speaker 2: kills Dollar Hyde, and they don't, but.
- 1:04:17Speaker 1: No, they do.
- 1:04:19Speaker 2: No, like, I meant, like, she shoots Dollar Hyde. Yes. Okay,
- 1:04:23Speaker 2: after he already shoots him, but yes.
- 1:04:26Speaker 1: Correct. But so, yeah, like, still... So Will... Molly dives down.
- 1:04:32Speaker 1: Will shoots through the door. They shoot each other. Dollar
- 1:04:35Speaker 1: Hyde and Will shoot each other. They both fall to
- 1:04:37Speaker 1: the ground. And then Molly rushes to Will. And Will says... You, like,
- 1:04:41Speaker 1: finish him off.
- 1:04:42Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:04:42Speaker 1: So then Molly goes over.
- 1:04:43Speaker 2: The scream moment. Mm-hmm.
- 1:04:44Speaker 1: The exact... The scream moment with Ski Doll Rush. Goes
- 1:04:46Speaker 1: over and shoots him in the head. Finally killing him.
- 1:04:49Speaker 1: Because he would be, like, riddled with bullets.
- 1:04:51Speaker 3: Yes.
- 1:04:52Speaker 1: Yes. It's too jacked. And... Then the end of the
- 1:04:59Speaker 1: movie is... Will is reading a letter from Hannibal Lecter.
- 1:05:03Speaker 1: And again, like, fuck him. This is such a great reaction.
- 1:05:06Speaker 1: He goes, dear Will, what a collection of scars you have.
- 1:05:09Speaker 1: And then Will just crumples the letter up and throws
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: it in the ocean. That's like a scream.
- 1:05:13Speaker 3: Like a scream. That was great.
- 1:05:14Speaker 1: And Will is on a boat and he's leaving Florida
- 1:05:18Speaker 1: and he's just like, I'm so, so done with this.
- 1:05:21Speaker 1: But there's one more mission, Will, Jack says. No.
- 1:05:25Speaker 2: Will, I need you. Seriously.
- 1:05:27Speaker 1: Yeah. But then the final, like, this is like a
- 1:05:31Speaker 1: comic book movie, post-credits reveal, but Meg, what is the
- 1:05:35Speaker 1: final moment of Dragon of Red?
- 1:05:38Speaker 3: They go back to Hannibal Lecter.
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
- 1:05:42Speaker 3: To the jail cell. And Chilton, right?
- 1:05:45Speaker 2: Yep.
- 1:05:46Speaker 3: Says that there's a new FBI agent that wants to
- 1:05:49Speaker 3: talk to him, right? And he says, what's her name?
- 1:05:54Speaker 1: What is her name?
- 1:05:55Speaker 3: And then the movie ends.
- 1:05:56Speaker 1: Yep.
- 1:05:57Speaker 2: I didn't think these things were that close together.
- 1:05:58Speaker 3: I thought it was a great ending.
- 1:06:00Speaker 1: Really? So, I don't think that they are, but I
- 1:06:02Speaker 1: think they just did that, because, like.
- 1:06:03Speaker 2: Well, yeah, because they, like, laughed, too, yeah. Yeah.
- 1:06:05Speaker 3: I thought that was an awesome way to end it.
- 1:06:09Speaker 1: The guy we're talking about in the theater?
- 1:06:14Speaker 2: Oh! It's Clarice! He came, because he'd seen Silence of
- 1:06:18Speaker 2: the Lambs, and forgot during this movie, and then won't
- 1:06:20Speaker 2: remember it again. Wait, is this the Hannibal prequel?
- 1:06:25Speaker 1: Oh, man. I... This.
- 1:06:27Speaker 2: again, because now we're used to this a lot, this
- 1:06:29Speaker 2: feels very, I'm like, why are we doing this thing?
- 1:06:31Speaker 1: So, okay, Megan said, I think, I think OffPod, Megan said,
- 1:06:36Speaker 1: this was, re-watching this, it was not as good as
- 1:06:38Speaker 1: I remember. I agree, but this is, I think it's
- 1:06:41Speaker 1: better than Manhunter, I think it's the second best Hannibal movie,
- 1:06:46Speaker 1: and I liked it. It's good.
- 1:06:48Speaker 2: No, it's definitely watchable. Again, like, I think this is
- 1:06:50Speaker 2: a movie where, like, you are lucky where you're such
- 1:06:52Speaker 2: an embarrassment of riches of actors.
- 1:06:54Speaker 1: We're like, embarrassment of riches is perfect.
- 1:06:56Speaker 2: It's like, you're so like, it doesn't matter how badly
- 1:06:58Speaker 2: directed this could be or, or nothing's perfect. Like you,
- 1:07:02Speaker 2: it's watchable. It also moves very well. It does go,
- 1:07:05Speaker 2: it does go through really well.
- 1:07:06Speaker 1: I like it again.
- 1:07:07Speaker 2: It's being compared to a amazing movie.
- 1:07:10Speaker 1: So it's even hard to do it. It's just, I
- 1:07:13Speaker 1: don't know.
- 1:07:13Speaker 2: I think like, it's like if there's one thing different,
- 1:07:15Speaker 2: this is great. I don't know. It's a hard way.
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree.
- 1:07:19Speaker 3: And I was telling Ryan upstairs, I think that when
- 1:07:22Speaker 3: I watched this, even though I had watched it before,
- 1:07:24Speaker 3: like when we went to bed that night, I made
- 1:07:26Speaker 3: sure the basement door was locked. The slider door was locked.
- 1:07:30Speaker 2: Double locked.
- 1:07:31Speaker 3: The garage door was locked. You know, I was really
- 1:07:33Speaker 3: freaked out. And I think that's a good movie that
- 1:07:36Speaker 3: makes you do that.
- 1:07:37Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. And I think that it's definitely a lock
- 1:07:41Speaker 1: your doors movie. And that's what that's all true crime
- 1:07:44Speaker 1: really is like, okay, we were worried because we were
- 1:07:46Speaker 1: muted for a second, but we're good. So, yeah. Anyways,
- 1:07:50Speaker 1: Red Dragon Advice.
- 1:07:53Speaker 3: So, I have two pieces of Red Dragon Advice. I
- 1:07:54Speaker 3: already told you one. This is really not an issue anymore, but, like,
- 1:08:00Speaker 3: don't get your film developed at an exterior place, like
- 1:08:04Speaker 3: the one-hour photo.
- 1:08:05Speaker 1: Especially if you're, like, a sexy bikini mom.
- 1:08:09Speaker 3: Yeah. A sexy bikini mom. Or just, like, any reasonably
- 1:08:13Speaker 3: cute female.
- 1:08:15Speaker 1: Yeah, sure.
- 1:08:15Speaker 3: Yeah, or child.
- 1:08:18Speaker 1: I was talking about this with a co-worker. He's very tall.
- 1:08:21Speaker 1: And we were just walking around a city at night together.
- 1:08:24Speaker 1: And he was like, you know, it must suck to
- 1:08:27Speaker 1: be a woman. Like, are you worried right now? I
- 1:08:29Speaker 1: was like, no. And he said, yeah, women are worried
- 1:08:32Speaker 1: right now. And I said, yeah, that sucks.
- 1:08:35Speaker 2: I was watching Barbarian. And there was an interview with
- 1:08:41Speaker 2: Zach Kreger on YouTube after the guy who wrote and
- 1:08:43Speaker 2: directed it. And he said he read this book that
- 1:08:45Speaker 2: was written by a former.
- 1:08:48Speaker 2: White House security person about strictly written for women about
- 1:08:53Speaker 2: things to pick up on because he feels like he's
- 1:08:57Speaker 2: like the guy's book his thesis was that women will
- 1:08:59Speaker 2: see the best in people yeah because they're better than
- 1:09:03Speaker 2: us is the mentality and there's 19 red flags that
- 1:09:08Speaker 2: you're acknowledging but giving the best benefit of the doubt
- 1:09:12Speaker 2: for that you shouldn't yeah and he was he said
- 1:09:14Speaker 2: he wrote the whole thing of barbarian the whole scene
- 1:09:16Speaker 2: with her and bill skarsgård about how like what is
- 1:09:19Speaker 2: she skipping? Even though you don't know he's bad or good.
- 1:09:22Speaker 2: What is she bypassing? And this idea of like, like sadly,
- 1:09:28Speaker 2: they live in existence that they should not trust a guy.
- 1:09:32Speaker 2: If it turned back twice and see them behind them. Like, yeah. Yeah.
- 1:09:35Speaker 1: Well, and the only game you said you had to,
- 1:09:37Speaker 1: did you say both?
- 1:09:38Speaker 2: Yes.
- 1:09:39Speaker 3: If you inherit like a nursing home.
- 1:09:41Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:09:42Speaker 3: Maybe, maybe sell it.
- 1:09:46Speaker 2: Maybe.
- 1:09:46Speaker 3: Yeah. Like, Maybe sell it if you.
- 1:09:49Speaker 2: Inherit a nursing home.
- 1:09:51Speaker 3: Or a psychiatric hospital. Yeah.
- 1:09:55Speaker 1: Do you want to give your advice or my advice?
- 1:09:57Speaker 2: I can do mine. Okay, go ahead. To all the
- 1:10:01Speaker 2: serial killers listening.
- 1:10:03Speaker 1: Many.
- 1:10:05Speaker 2: The Vans. You guys got to give them up.
- 1:10:07Speaker 1: Yes. Red flag. Red dragon.
- 1:10:11Speaker 2: Bill used it.
- 1:10:11Speaker 1: Red dragon. That's perfect.
- 1:10:13Speaker 2: Bill used it. Dee used it.
- 1:10:17Speaker 1: It's old.
- 1:10:17Speaker 3: I feel like it's so ubiquitous. It's never going to
- 1:10:20Speaker 3: go out of style.
- 1:10:20Speaker 2: It's very true.
- 1:10:21Speaker 1: Ted Bundy literally would drag women.
- 1:10:24Speaker 2: In his van. You mentioned the workaholics joke. Now it's so...
- 1:10:28Speaker 2: Even if you are not a serial killer, people see
- 1:10:30Speaker 2: you have a van, they're just like, what the fuck
- 1:10:33Speaker 2: is this?
- 1:10:33Speaker 1: Hey, Chromalux, you have 900 employees. Do you have any
- 1:10:35Speaker 1: that drive a panel van? Oh yeah, Mr. D. Okay,
- 1:10:38Speaker 1: it's him. Versus Chromalux. We're looking for this guy. Mr. D.
- 1:10:42Speaker 1: foots the profile. What kind of car does he drive?
- 1:10:45Speaker 1: He drives a Mazda Miata. Okay, he's cleared. He's cleared.
- 1:10:48Speaker 1: He's not a suspect.
- 1:10:52Speaker 2: That'd be amazing.
- 1:10:54Speaker 1: My advice is... If you bring a woman to a tiger... Okay.
- 1:11:01Speaker 1: Panties drop.
- 1:11:04Speaker 2: Okay.
- 1:11:04Speaker 1: And we have a woman, and she's nodding in confirmation.
- 1:11:07Speaker 3: No, I'm not.
- 1:11:08Speaker 1: She's also my sister.
- 1:11:11Speaker 3: I don't think I would automatically drop my panties for
- 1:11:14Speaker 3: a tiger, no.
- 1:11:15Speaker 2: Oh, man, I would. So go with me on this?
- 1:11:18Speaker 2: I would. Go into the zoo? I know a guy
- 1:11:19Speaker 2: that way. You know a guy at the zoo?
- 1:11:21Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm like, what?
- 1:11:22Speaker 2: You got from Split? It's like, oh.
- 1:11:25Speaker 1: Well, that's it, guys. Thank you so much, Meg.
- 1:11:29Speaker 2: Yes, Megan, thank you.
- 1:11:30Speaker 3: Thanks, guys. This is great. So we need to find
- 1:11:32Speaker 3: something new to do next year.
- 1:11:34Speaker 2: Hannibal Rising.
- 1:11:35Speaker 1: Hannibal Rising, yes. We could do Hannibal but that would
- 1:11:38Speaker 1: be terrible.
- 1:11:39Speaker 3: No, I can't.
- 1:11:40Speaker 2: I told you guys I love Hannibal but no.
- 1:11:42Speaker 1: Hannibal is disgusting too. Talk about how this movie is
- 1:11:45Speaker 1: really not violent. Hannibal is insane.
- 1:11:47Speaker 2: Hannibal is so violent. Insanely violent.
- 1:11:49Speaker 3: And I have moral issue with Jodie Foster, who is
- 1:11:54Speaker 3: Julianne Moore in Hannibal, getting with Hannibal in like... Does
- 1:11:57Speaker 3: that happen at the end of the movie?
- 1:11:59Speaker 2: In the book, it does.
- 1:11:59Speaker 1: In the book, not in the movie.
- 1:12:00Speaker 3: Okay, does it not happen in the movie?
- 1:12:02Speaker 2: They were like, hey, this is movies. People will never
- 1:12:04Speaker 2: go with this.
- 1:12:04Speaker 3: That is not okay. She would never do that. Clarice
- 1:12:07Speaker 3: would never do that. It made no sense to me
- 1:12:08Speaker 3: at all.
- 1:12:09Speaker 2: That book made no sense to me at all.
- 1:12:10Speaker 1: But she is a woman, and women are very, very stupid. Right, Ryan?
- 1:12:16Speaker 2: Thanks, everyone, for listening.
- 1:12:17Speaker 1: I love how the one woman on this pod is
- 1:12:19Speaker 1: a doctor. Meanwhile, me and Ryan have nothing to brag about.
- 1:12:25Speaker 1: This guy spent all his money on DVDs.
- 1:12:26Speaker 3: We'll do another good psychological thriller.
- 1:12:29Speaker 1: We were debating upstairs whether high school matters or not,
- 1:12:32Speaker 1: and Ryan and I didn't approach high school in a
- 1:12:35Speaker 1: way that mattered to us.
- 1:12:36Speaker 2: Agreed, we should have.
- 1:12:38Speaker 1: Megan did, and she's a doctor.
- 1:12:39Speaker 2: And we're just two white guys on a podcast, like many.
- 1:12:43Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:12:45Speaker 3: Huge following.
- 1:12:46Speaker 2: Two losers.
- 1:12:46Speaker 3: The crowd's outside, bro.
- 1:12:47Speaker 1: Vietnam.
- 1:12:48Speaker 2: Vietnam.
- 1:12:50Speaker 1: All right, well, thank you, Meg. Thanks for listening.
- 1:12:52Speaker 2: Thanks, Julia.
- 1:12:53Speaker 1: Thank you. And we'll catch you on the flip. Thanks, Julia. RIP.
- 1:12:56Speaker 1: We'll catch you on the flip.
