Latest / Two Cents: We See Scary Movies / The Black Demon (2023) – Killer Shark, Ancient Curse, and a Movie That Made Talon Dumb | Two Cents Podcast
Transcript
- 0:00Welcome to two Cents. We see Scary Movies, the podcast
- 0:03where we dive into horror films 1 theme at a time.
- 0:05And since we're in the middle of terror in the deep, naturally we
- 0:08ended up on an oil rig with a giant shark because why drown in
- 0:12water when you can drown in corporate corruption?
- 0:14First, I'm Talon, the one who would absolutely fall for the
- 0:17free boat ride pitch it's stranded on the rig and then try
- 0:20to make friends with the shark just to avoid small talk with
- 0:23the oil execs. And with me is Dan, who would
- 0:26see a prehistoric megalodon circling the rig.
- 0:29And immediately, I think, finally, something less
- 0:31terrifying than running into my ex.
- 0:34This week we're talking The Black Demon, a movie that
- 0:37reminds us that the ocean isn't just out to kill you, it's
- 0:40unionizing with big oil to make sure it really sticks.
- 0:50It's all you, Dan. The movie opens up with, like, a
- 0:54really fast overhead shot of the water.
- 0:57Yeah, and overlaid, they're giving a tale of a legend of of
- 1:04gods and demons this particular island believes in.
- 1:08I didn't actually look up to see if talaq.
- 1:12I think that's how you pronounce it.
- 1:14They pronounced it, they pronounced it a million times
- 1:18and and the weight like trying to get them to say it correctly.
- 1:21Talaq or something like that. Talaq.
- 1:24It's almost my name. It is.
- 1:28So I didn't look up anything about it.
- 1:30I didn't see if there was any truth in the idea that they
- 1:34believe in that. So they're just giving like a
- 1:36little brief synopsis of what this God did and what he does
- 1:41and why he's angry. I didn't write it down.
- 1:43I wasn't going to read it all. I mean, if you guys don't.
- 1:45Watch it. It is a.
- 1:47It is real. Well, it is.
- 1:49It's a. It's a.
- 1:51It's a. It's a real belief.
- 1:52Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:53So he's the Aztec rain God and nature deity, according to
- 1:58Britannica. And he's the God of rain storms
- 2:02and fertility, vital for agriculture and crop growth.
- 2:05OK, they did mention that throughout the movie, just not
- 2:08the destiny. Use the word fertility.
- 2:10They just seem to be a giver of life.
- 2:12Yeah, Giver of Life and a lot about rain, 'cause there's
- 2:15something about that later on I figured out, but yeah.
- 2:18Yeah, so that's how it starts. It gives like a little synopsis
- 2:22of that. It's night time and there's two
- 2:24men in a small boat at the oil rig and they're just kind of
- 2:27shooting the shit with each other.
- 2:29You know, the younger guy is making fun of the older guy,
- 2:32which I believe his name was Nacho, making fun of how old he
- 2:35is, but then complimenting how experienced he is.
- 2:38Like he's glad that he's there. And they're all speaking in
- 2:41Spanish at this point. The movie is in English, but
- 2:43this part they're speaking in Spanish because the oil rig is
- 2:46in a Spanish speaking town. I had to go out because I
- 2:50thought, oh, I picked the Spanish version, and then I
- 2:53realized, Oh no, no, they're just speaking Spanish.
- 2:55Yeah, I did. I did that too because I was
- 2:57messing with the the subtitles. So I just wanted to make sure
- 3:02that if it was subtitled that everything was on correctly.
- 3:04And then later it's like, oh, it's this is in English.
- 3:08Oh, the version I watched. Their subtitles were often
- 3:11incorrect. They they didn't, Yeah, they
- 3:13have the wrong words for what they were saying.
- 3:15And it was super funny because there were parts that were like
- 3:18in where it was intense, like the shark is coming and it's
- 3:22intense. And whoever wrote these
- 3:25captions, because it'll always tell you what type of music it's
- 3:28playing. It's intense music.
- 3:30If it's whatever and it said, what was it hold?
- 3:32On I, I think I know what you're talking about, there was a part
- 3:36where the shark was coming at someone and it was like really
- 3:40creepy music. But in the in the subtitle it
- 3:43said oh sentimental music. Yes, sentimental.
- 3:45I was sympathetic was in my head.
- 3:47I was like, no, it was a sympathetic music.
- 3:50It was sentimental music. I was like sentimental music.
- 3:55So Nacho tells the the younger guy to shut up and he prepares
- 3:58and he dives in the water and we see ominous murky water and
- 4:02because this oil rig is leaking oil, so you see like just all
- 4:06this murkiness and just clouds everywhere.
- 4:09I'm a dummy. I thought for the first like
- 4:11part of this movie first, like probably first half of the
- 4:15movie. I thought that was blood.
- 4:17The whole time I was like my God, how is there still blood in
- 4:22this fucking water? What the hell?
- 4:30What? People, is it eating?
- 4:32Right. Anyway, the older guy swims down
- 4:36towards one of the supports on the rig, the guy on top of the
- 4:39water, he lights a cigarette and then he throws the match in the
- 4:41water and it ignites a little bit of the surface oil.
- 4:45Now with the amount of oil that was there, that was a very small
- 4:49fire. Yeah, well, to me I was like,
- 4:51damn, I didn't know blood burned like that.
- 5:01No, actually this is what I was like.
- 5:03This is what I thought. Oh, there must be an oil.
- 5:14OK, so he throws the match in the water and it ignites a
- 5:18little bit of the surface oil and he recognizes it right away
- 5:22because he sees the flickering of the fire and he quickly like
- 5:25looks around and he starts trying to put the fire out and
- 5:28then we're underwater again. As Nacho is going further down
- 5:32towards the one of the supports. He sets a bomb to go off in 2
- 5:36weeks. So I'm not, I'm not really sure
- 5:38why two weeks because. Well it's it's stated this was.
- 5:43I missed that part of it. I didn't realize he's the one
- 5:46that put the bomb on the rig. They do explain later why it was
- 5:50that amount of time. Did they?
- 5:52I think I may have missed that explanation.
- 5:54If we get to that, if we get to that point, if, if we ever make
- 5:58it. We're only three minutes into
- 6:01this podcast. We might make it.
- 6:09When we when unless somebody knows something that's going on,
- 6:13or maybe I do and I don't realize it.
- 6:15When we get to that part, it's way near the end when they
- 6:18explain why it's the time it is. OK because I know they explain
- 6:23why they sent it I just didn't catch why they sent it for that
- 6:26long. But anyway.
- 6:28So Nacho sets the bomb to go off in 2 weeks.
- 6:31As he pulls away, he gets sucked into like this weird spot, like
- 6:37just like violently gets pulled and all of a sudden like he's in
- 6:40a in a brighter spot than what he was.
- 6:42It's a little bit more clear. There's no oil, there's no rig,
- 6:45there's nothing. He's just like in this spot and
- 6:48he becomes Aquaman because he's like touching the fish and and
- 6:52they're coming right up to him. Yep, he touches the bottom of a
- 6:56jellyfish, which really would have stung his ass, but you
- 7:01know, everything's all funky and great.
- 7:03The camera pulls back and he's actually still in the dingy
- 7:07water, but he's completely unaware, almost like he's stuck
- 7:10in that spot, like he's just not really moving.
- 7:13And then again, it's like a first person view and the
- 7:15cameras like going up really fast up to him and he gets
- 7:19attacked. You hear him scream and that's
- 7:21it. Right, right.
- 7:23That whole thing, it took me a while to figure out what all of
- 7:27that was because they do explain that as well much later on.
- 7:31But there were a couple of this happens a couple of times, like
- 7:34two or three times. And the first couple of times I
- 7:37was like what? Especially the next time it
- 7:39happens. So when we get to that, I'll
- 7:41I'll share my thought on what I thought at the time.
- 7:45I was like, what the fuck? Anyway, go ahead.
- 7:49So this scene transition is pretty quick.
- 7:51The, you know, the guy gets attacked, he screams and then
- 7:54would jump back to the young guy on the surface and he doesn't
- 7:57hear anything, but he just kind of feels like something's wrong
- 8:00because he's just kind of like looking around.
- 8:02And we go back underneath and we see the old guy.
- 8:05He's surrounded by blood and he's screaming underwater.
- 8:08Oh, that was blood. I thought it was oil.
- 8:16So the young guy's trying to radio to him and he's getting
- 8:18nothing and he all of a sudden feels the boat move a bit
- 8:21unnaturally. He turns his underwater lights
- 8:24on and he feels something bump underneath.
- 8:28And he looks in the water and we're back in the first person
- 8:30view of what appears to be a shark's mouth because the
- 8:33cameras like set behind and you see like a shark teeth around
- 8:37around. The camera moves towards the
- 8:40boat and jumps out of the water and we hear the man scream.
- 8:43So from there we cut to a bright, nice sunny day.
- 8:46Beautiful music is playing. We see a car driving down the
- 8:49road and there's a family in there.
- 8:51We don't know this yet, but Paul the father and this is the
- 8:55mother, Tommy's the son and Audrey's the daughter.
- 8:59Yes. I already don't like Paul.
- 9:02I don't know why, He's just got a face I don't like.
- 9:06Why? Because it didn't match the
- 9:07other faces. What's that?
- 9:14What's that reference? Paul is white, as white as can
- 9:17be. And the rest of the family, well
- 9:19Ennis is Spanish and the other two are obviously mixed.
- 9:22So they all have like a Tanner complexion than Paul.
- 9:26Paul just seems like a douche to me.
- 9:28Well, I will say this about because that's Josh Lucas.
- 9:32Is that his name? Yeah.
- 9:33I did not like his acting in this movie at all.
- 9:37I should probably say this for the end, but I just since we're
- 9:40talking about it, I liked him and other I've liked.
- 9:43He's a ROM com guy. He you know, he was what sweet
- 9:45home Alabama. I liked him and that I mean he's
- 9:47but whatever he in this movie, everybody else was fine, but his
- 9:51acting in this movie drove me crazy.
- 9:54I did not like it. It came off so fake like like
- 9:59he, I don't know if it was over acting or under acting or if it
- 10:02was acting. I don't know what it was, but I
- 10:04did not like it at all and I don't and I like him.
- 10:07I like him as an actor but didn't like him in horror is not
- 10:10his genre. Yeah, and, and maybe this
- 10:12particular type of character isn't his either, you know,
- 10:16because as we learn more about him, you know, maybe he's just
- 10:19not good at playing that type of character.
- 10:21Yeah. So the family's having a good
- 10:23time. They're joking with each other,
- 10:24laughing, you know, whatever. Everybody's excited except for
- 10:27Audrey. Audrey, she's hating on
- 10:29everything because she's 15 years old.
- 10:31So, you know, everything sucks. I'm just dressed like a little
- 10:34pirate, you know? And so he's kind of getting into
- 10:36that whole little, little vibe. And they stop at the gas
- 10:40station. And as they're approaching, Paul
- 10:43goes into the story about how he started with his company called
- 10:46Nixon Oil. Around that time, he met on his
- 10:50his wife, and that's when they got together, got pregnant, got
- 10:54married. So now they they stopped at
- 10:57another spot. And Tommy's using his telescope
- 11:00and he's looking out at the water and he looks at the rig
- 11:02and he asks his dad if that's it.
- 11:04And Paul's like, yeah. And he starts discussing, like,
- 11:07the job and what he has to do. And I just got to go inspect it
- 11:11and, you know, verify if it needs to be decommissioned or
- 11:14not. And then this asks Paul if he
- 11:16made reservations at the hotel. And like a loser, he says no.
- 11:19She gives him a dirty look. Tom is like, oh, you're in
- 11:22trouble. He's like, oh, I just figured
- 11:24we'd get a room when we got there because it may not be that
- 11:27busy. So as they're driving through
- 11:29the continuing to talk about a hotel and restaurant, there was
- 11:32one that Paul was looking forward to seeing.
- 11:34But as they're driving by, it looks rundown.
- 11:37There's graffiti all over the place.
- 11:39I was like, I wonder what happened to this place?
- 11:42We find out later. But driving through and the
- 11:45remaining residents are just like staring at them, walking
- 11:48like as if you're like in the bad neighborhood, you know, and
- 11:51everybody's just like staring at you, like, you shouldn't be here
- 11:55because we're going to fuck you up if you stay too long.
- 11:57That's kind of like what they're looking like this kids in the
- 12:00street, dogs are starving, running around.
- 12:02They're they're out of the car. At this point.
- 12:04Audrey's looking at an old picture of a hotel on her phone
- 12:08and she has it held up towards the the building and then she
- 12:12lowers it and we see that that same hotel is dilapidated and
- 12:17hasn't looks like it's been in use for quite a long time.
- 12:20Paul makes the comment of oh, I should have called 1st.
- 12:23And this is like, yeah, you're right.
- 12:24So he sees a guy scaling a fish. He approaches him and starts
- 12:29talking to him. He's like, hello, hello.
- 12:31You know, you speak English and he says it like a few times.
- 12:33There's a group of guys off to the side.
- 12:36There's like 4 of them. One of them is like, yeah, he
- 12:38can't speak English. In fact, he doesn't speak at
- 12:41all. None of the guys over there look
- 12:44pleasant. They don't look friendly at all.
- 12:46They question Paul about what he's doing there and he's like,
- 12:49well, I'm just vacationing with my family.
- 12:51The man, which we find out later is named El Rey, says that
- 12:54that's bullshit because this isn't a place for vacationing.
- 12:57Are you an oil man? Paul's like, yeah, I work for
- 13:00Nixon Oil. Have you heard of us?
- 13:02Then he arrogantly states, we practically built this town
- 13:05right there is like, I knew there was.
- 13:07Just why we didn't like him, you know, because that would be a
- 13:12fairly arrogant thing to say to me.
- 13:14And so El Rey looks up with some ominous music playing, and he
- 13:18stands. And that's the thing.
- 13:19Like, I'm not going to get too much into the music on this one
- 13:22because almost every single time it's ominous.
- 13:24Except for that, unless it's that one little happy time with
- 13:28the family. Everything else is ominous,
- 13:30mislabeled as sentimental, but it's ominous.
- 13:33That's. Sentimental, ominous music.
- 13:39So as David the man looks up, El Rey looks up with the ominous
- 13:42music playing. He stands up and he tells Paul
- 13:45to take a look around. He's like, are you proud of your
- 13:47work? And this comes in and saves the
- 13:49day. She starts speaking Spanish to
- 13:52El Rey and he's introducing the family.
- 13:55El Rey does not look very interested at all.
- 13:57He looks like he wants to gut everybody with a fish like a
- 14:00fish rather not with a fish. But he's absolutely not
- 14:03interested in in learning about the family like he.
- 14:06He just wants them gone. At this, Paul and El Rey are
- 14:09just standing there staring at each other as innocent speaking.
- 14:12And she ends up asking El Rey, you know, if he has kids and
- 14:15understands, you know, because they're just trying to take the
- 14:17kids on vacation and bring them to their roots and everything.
- 14:21And that's when El Rey looks at her.
- 14:23She gives them some money. And he's like to help your
- 14:25community and could you please help us find a cafe?
- 14:28She says all of this in Spanish, and then Paul looks at him kind
- 14:32of sarcastically. Please, yeah, it's like, God
- 14:36damn it, I wish this man were to get gutted.
- 14:37So El Rey sighs and he takes the money and it's gets the kids now
- 14:41they're walking through town. I don't know why they didn't
- 14:44take the. Car, that's what I said I was
- 14:46like they're going to leave their car there.
- 14:47Are they? Are you kidding me?
- 14:49Right and. And it's quite a distance away
- 14:51from where they're going to be. Yeah.
- 14:54And so that as they're walking through town we're seeing more
- 14:57bad parts and how bad the town really is and how desolate it
- 15:01is. So on their walk they end up
- 15:03seeing a four headed idol with various trinkets like all around
- 15:07it. Tommy asks what it is.
- 15:09Paul's like oh I've never seen this here before.
- 15:11Asks why it's there. Oh Ray says it's for protection
- 15:14and he puts the money in an offering cup.
- 15:16Tommy sees a little trinket and he decides to steal it, but he
- 15:20leaves a stickers bar. Indiana Jones style.
- 15:22Yeah, yeah. And, and, and I'm assuming what
- 15:25his thought process was is if Tulak is doing all of this,
- 15:29maybe a Snickers bar will help calm him down like the
- 15:32commercial suggests. You're angry, dude.
- 15:36Angry. Right.
- 15:37Maybe this will help and we see various other items like all
- 15:43around and you hear like a weird whispering.
- 15:46It's about the money though, because I was like, really?
- 15:48Does this idol, does it really care about money?
- 15:50Does money mean anything to it? It's just paper at this point.
- 15:54Like why does it care about money?
- 15:56Right, it's paper. Paper and ink to them.
- 15:58What? Is it going to do with that?
- 15:59Right, they arrived to their their destination and Paul asks
- 16:04El Rey, what do you meant by protection?
- 16:06He stays from El Dimino or or Demonio.
- 16:09That's what it's Demonio. Paul repeats it same way and
- 16:12he's like, oh, the demon Tommy runs over and gives El Rey his
- 16:17own pirate patch. El Rey just stares at him, takes
- 16:20it, is just glaring. They walk off and he's just just
- 16:24holding in his hand, staring, and Paul is talking.
- 16:27I was like, oh, that was really nice of you.
- 16:28That that was really sweet of you.
- 16:30Well, The funny thing about that, that scene was El Rey has
- 16:34a very distinct scar on his eye. I was like, oh, coming off a
- 16:38little rude. Right, right.
- 16:41You know, and maybe that's why he was looking at him like, what
- 16:44the fuck kid kind of injurist. Yeah, how injurist of you.
- 16:54So next thing we see, Paul's on the phone.
- 16:56He's like, yeah, yeah, OK, OK, I'll, I'll do it right now.
- 17:00And Innis is standing that they'll try to find another town
- 17:05to go to and asked Paul what's going on.
- 17:07And he says the company is on his ass about doing the
- 17:10inspection faster and says he'll go now and he'll be back before
- 17:13dawn. He asked her to book them in a
- 17:16nice hotel. Andre is upset that they have to
- 17:18stay there. Tommy makes fun of her for being
- 17:21upset. Paul says it'll only be a few
- 17:23hours. You know, he's just going to go
- 17:25out and back, which I don't know how that was going to be because
- 17:29the way they make the oil rig look and how far it is, Yeah, it
- 17:33looks like it's just going to be a few hours just to get there.
- 17:35Right, yeah, because he had he even as we know later you'll
- 17:39you'll bring it up. He had just even like halfway
- 17:42through switch boats like right. What?
- 17:44I was like, this seems like really it takes half a day to
- 17:46get to this fucking rig. I mean, it's what it seemed like
- 17:49also the rig. It was confusing because, OK,
- 17:52they called the they called the thing they were being protected
- 17:54from. What again?
- 17:56Al Demenio. And the name of the rig is El
- 18:01De, it's very similar. Yeah, it's very similar
- 18:04sounding. It's like della Mento or
- 18:07something. Yeah, something like.
- 18:08That I was like, did they name the rig the demon too?
- 18:11Or is it kept coming up on the, you know, subtitles?
- 18:14And I was like, oh, that's really close in name, but which
- 18:18I thought was strange. I was like why did they make it
- 18:20so similar? Right, so and it's asked him how
- 18:22I was going to get there and he's like all the company has a
- 18:25boat set up for me in the harbor.
- 18:27I was like, ah, can I go like every annoying kid does.
- 18:29He says no, I like kids, but sometimes they can.
- 18:32Assholes. Right.
- 18:34I do, I do. And, and sometimes kids can be
- 18:37assholes and annoying and that's what Tommy was being right now.
- 18:40I mean, I remember being a kid and being an asshole and
- 18:42annoying too so. Absolutely.
- 18:44I mean, I'm paying for being an asshole.
- 18:47So Tommy asks if he can go and Paul says no.
- 18:50At that point we see a couple guys back there.
- 18:52We hear some coughing and Paul and Innis look over, but you
- 18:56don't see the guys at that point because Paul's big ass head is
- 18:58in the way. But he tells her not to worry,
- 19:01everything was going to be fine. Tommy's like, Oh yeah, the
- 19:03people around here have bigger problems to worry about.
- 19:06Paul's like, what was that mean? This is when he's trying to say
- 19:10to lock. Yeah, but he's saying it to lock
- 19:13and Paul is saying well lock and in.
- 19:16This corrects them both in states.
- 19:17It's to lock. Yeah.
- 19:20Tommy says it's the creepy God painted around town to give more
- 19:24context for Paul. Paul is just explaining that's
- 19:28their culture, that's what they believe.
- 19:30Just kind of dismissing it a little bit.
- 19:31He's watching Tommy on his little tablet and he comes over.
- 19:36He's like, back in the day, pirates didn't have the
- 19:38Internet. And he's like, let's put this
- 19:40away for a little bit. And and this agrees.
- 19:43I don't know how that kid had the Internet anyway, where they
- 19:45were. I know, I know.
- 19:47I don't understand either. Yeah.
- 19:49They look he barely had power. Right.
- 19:51Paul looks at Audrey and Mouse. Be nice.
- 19:54She's like, OK. He says his goodbyes.
- 19:57He pays the bartender as he's leaving to say, you know, hey,
- 19:59keep an eye on my family. So he walks down to the harbor,
- 20:02and he talks to the harbor master.
- 20:04And the harbor master is just looking at him.
- 20:06And he's like, yeah, I'm Paul, wherever his last name was.
- 20:09I work with Nixon Oil. And the harbor master is like,
- 20:11Oh yeah. I was expecting you, your boats
- 20:14down there waiting for you. And Paul's like, hey, can you
- 20:17radio the rig, let them know that I'm coming?
- 20:20However, mess is like, oh, yeah, no problem.
- 20:23And Paul starts walking down. And as Paul is like coming into
- 20:28the window view, the Harbor master picks up the mic.
- 20:31And then he puts it back down. Yeah, I don't know why that, why
- 20:34that was significant, like why he did that.
- 20:37Yeah, there's this. He was, explains it.
- 20:39Right. He was out of his view or
- 20:40anything. Well, like why he did that?
- 20:44Like why? Why didn't he let the people on
- 20:45the rig know that the guy was coming?
- 20:47Like what was the point of that? Like they don't really explain
- 20:49why that guy doesn't tell them. Because they already knew he was
- 20:51going. Because remember this whole,
- 20:54this whole setup was for Paul to get out onto the.
- 20:57Rig Yeah, yeah, yeah, but they. So Al Ray knew who he was, the
- 21:04harbor master knew who he was, the guy on the boat know who he
- 21:07was. The guys on the rig knew he was.
- 21:10I mean, of course we're spoiling it for our viewers, all 5 of
- 21:16you. Three of them being me.
- 21:28Because he ends up pulling a picture of Paul out of the
- 21:31calendar and he tears it up. Who does?
- 21:33The harbormaster because he had a picture of Paul up up in the
- 21:36calendar and he pulls it down and he ends up tearing it up.
- 21:39Well, that's what that was. Yeah.
- 21:41So it looks like that everybody was in on or paid to do all of
- 21:46this to get him out to the ring. If I still don't understand why
- 21:49he didn't, I mean, if the guys knew he was coming, he could
- 21:51have been like, OK, he's on his way.
- 21:53I don't. I mean, I get the ominousness of
- 21:56ominousness. Is that a thing?
- 21:57Or the sentimentalness, yeah. Sentimentality of it all.
- 22:02I was having a hard time keeping it together at this point.
- 22:04But yeah, I mean, I don't know, it just, it was such a weird.
- 22:08I'm like, OK, because he made it, you know?
- 22:10Of course, as he was standing there, he might look like he was
- 22:12going to pick it up and and call in, but as soon as he turned and
- 22:14walked away, he put it back down.
- 22:15Like, I'm not calling it in for this motherfucker kind of thing,
- 22:18but it's like, all right, Is that the only reason?
- 22:19Like, I don't know. Anyway.
- 22:21Yeah. I mean, I think it's just
- 22:22because they all knew that he was going to be there because
- 22:24most likely where they were pushing him to be, like where
- 22:27the company was pushing him to be out there, there, they
- 22:30probably all had to set up at a certain time.
- 22:32It's just like, hey, you know, you don't have to worry about
- 22:34it. Everybody else is already going
- 22:35to know. That's what I'm thinking.
- 22:37But I, but I also agree they could have said, hey, he's on
- 22:39his way, be prepared. But I don't know.
- 22:42I I think they just did that just to make it look more like
- 22:45we know what's happening. Yeah, I guess that's basic,
- 22:48Basically just for viewers to see that there's something weird
- 22:52there. Right.
- 22:52So Paul walks over to the boat guy, and which I don't know if
- 22:56the character's name was actually this or not, but in the
- 22:59subtitles or or the X-ray or whatever, like when you pause
- 23:02it, the guy's name was Chocolito.
- 23:05Yeah. So I mean I.
- 23:08Didn't really that was his name because I saw it in the X-ray
- 23:11and I was like, his name was Chocolito.
- 23:14I mean I am not well versed on Spanish names.
- 23:18I am as white as white can be so I don't really understand.
- 23:21I I don't know many alternate Spanish names other than the
- 23:25common ones, so I don't know if Chocalito is like a legit name
- 23:31or if that's just like a nickname forum or.
- 23:34Sounds a lot like chocolate. Right.
- 23:36Yeah, so, so Chocalito's like, oh, yeah.
- 23:42And, and Paul's like, yeah, I think you brought me up there a
- 23:45couple years ago. He's like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 23:47yeah. Paul jumps on the boat while the
- 23:49guy is like trying to push it out.
- 23:51Paul's like, oh, you got this. He's like, yeah, I'm just
- 23:53waiting for a wave. Paul could have been nice and
- 23:56try to help out because, I mean, that boat was pretty far.
- 23:59It was a land. Yeah, it was a decent sized boat
- 24:02too. Right.
- 24:03I mean, it was a it was a good sized motorboat.
- 24:07And and again, another reason why I didn't like Paul is
- 24:10because he seems to be expecting everybody else to do shit for
- 24:13him. You know, Paul's asking like,
- 24:16what's going on in the town and and where did everybody go?
- 24:19And Chocolito says things are really bad and that the demons
- 24:23woken up. Paul dismisses that whole thing
- 24:26that because Paul is like completely like, you know, yeah,
- 24:28I don't believe in demons. All this stuff is like hogwash.
- 24:31Some time passes, it brings the camera up to the sky.
- 24:35It's bright. And then it turns like somewhat
- 24:38darker and some time has gone, they're approaching a dock and
- 24:42it has a different boat. And Paul's like, why are we
- 24:44stopping? And Chocalito's like, oh, bad
- 24:47vibes. And Paul's like, what do you
- 24:49mean bad vibes here? I have more money.
- 24:51And Chocalito's like, Nah man, I'm good.
- 24:54Yeah. I was like, I can't go any
- 24:56further. He's like, have this on the
- 24:57boat. It's all ready for you.
- 24:59And he starts it. And Paul's like, completely
- 25:01annoyed, but he gets in the boat.
- 25:03He's like, you know, there's no cell service out there.
- 25:05And chocolate was like, well, there's a radio.
- 25:07Paul's like, never mind, I'll get myself back.
- 25:10Paul's like, oh, thanks for nothing.
- 25:11And chocolate was like, oh, you're welcome.
- 25:13I think they tried to pepper some funny moments into this,
- 25:16but it didn't come across as being funny because I think that
- 25:20whole, you know, Paul, thanks for nothing.
- 25:21And then chocolate was saying, oh, you're welcome.
- 25:23With a smile on his face. I thought that that was supposed
- 25:25to bring some levity to the movie, but it failed because of
- 25:30the sentimental music in the background.
- 25:37It's a very sad goodbye, but Chuck Alito came off to me as
- 25:43he's just a very happy, optimistic kind of guy.
- 25:47He had that kind of energy about him.
- 25:49So he's like, oh, you're welcome.
- 25:50Like, it didn't even dawn on him the guy was being an ass.
- 25:53Yeah, yeah. But.
- 25:55Yeah, the sentimental music part really got me.
- 25:57So I was, I was torn. Yeah.
- 26:00Yeah. I laughed.
- 26:02I cry. Right, exactly.
- 26:04You just don't know. So Paul goes to the rig in his
- 26:07annoyance and Chocalito says a prayer for him because at first
- 26:11he's got a big smile on his face.
- 26:13And then as Paul gets a little further away, you know, he gets
- 26:16all frowny face and does the whole, you know, father, son,
- 26:19Holy Ghost, kiss the the thumb thing.
- 26:22Now we're back at the cafe, where Tommy is surprisingly back
- 26:26on his tablet. It didn't take that long.
- 26:30At this point I'm thinking he's a bad kid for doing it and he's
- 26:32probably the one that summon the demon because he's pissing
- 26:35people. Off technology.
- 26:37Right, So he's learning about the various guards of the Aztec
- 26:43pantheon, and he's talking about Tulaloc as Innis is looking out
- 26:48of the water. And she's like, oh, I feel like
- 26:51there's something off. And Tommy's just looking at his
- 26:54tablet. He's like, oh, there's no birds.
- 26:56And then Audrey looks out, Amos looks out.
- 26:58It's like, oh, yeah, there are, there's there is no birds.
- 27:01I mean, you at least see seagulls, you know, because
- 27:05there's a lot of fishing going on.
- 27:06He's a. Very observant child.
- 27:08Yes, even though he's stuck on that tablet.
- 27:11So he's further talking about Tulaloc, talking about, you
- 27:14know, how he controls the rain in the waters and sends
- 27:17lightning bolts from the sky and that, you know, he, as you
- 27:21stated earlier, he's fertile, but he doesn't use that
- 27:25terminology. He just says rages the crops and
- 27:28grass and animals and all that stuff.
- 27:30Yeah. And then he goes on to say that
- 27:32another God stole Tilak's girlfriend.
- 27:34So he got mad because he went off with this other God.
- 27:39He says at that point, Tilak started ignoring prayers for
- 27:42rain because his girlfriend left.
- 27:44And Aubrey's like, oh, well, that's a jerk move.
- 27:47She's like, that's like Ross cheating on Rachel and Tommy.
- 27:50Very angrily says they were on a break.
- 27:54Like Jesus Christ, kids, settle down.
- 27:56Are you watching Friends? Right.
- 27:59I mean, honestly, the age of these kids, why are either of
- 28:01them watching Friends? I mean, at this point the
- 28:04show's, what, 20 years old? 30 years old?
- 28:06And you have like a 15 and a, what, 10 year old watching it?
- 28:10I don't think so. I mean, unless Innis is watching
- 28:14it and they are catching episodes because of that, but
- 28:18yeah. Well the 15 year old I can
- 28:20understand but the 10 year old like what the hell is he
- 28:21watching this for that he knows this so specifically?
- 28:24So again, I think this was one of those moments where they were
- 28:27trying to bring some light hearted humor to the movie, but
- 28:30again, it fall fell flat because Tom Tommy was a little bit more
- 28:36angry than he probably should have been to make it a joke.
- 28:39Yeah, he really has written that show.
- 28:42Yeah, So he goes potty. There's a few guys at the bar.
- 28:48One of them looks over at as Innis is talking to Aubrey.
- 28:52He walks over and he starts hitting on her and she's like,
- 28:56oh, she's married. And he's like, well, I don't see
- 28:58a husband. Are you looking for one?
- 29:01He ends up drinking some of their beer and Ennis yells at
- 29:05him. He grabs Audrey's arm.
- 29:07Ennis tells him to let go as she smashes a beer bottle over his
- 29:10head. Now she's holding the man off
- 29:12with a broken beer bottle. Tommy comes out of the bathroom
- 29:15at this point and you know she rounds up the kids and have them
- 29:19go with her. She calls the bartender a
- 29:22Bendejo. The guy's friends help him up
- 29:24and the family leaves. As they're leaving.
- 29:26These guys end up following them.
- 29:28I would say that for what happened, these guys are
- 29:31following them very slowly. Yeah, like I was like, catch up
- 29:36with him. Right.
- 29:38You know, because they're not running.
- 29:40They're barely even walking fast.
- 29:43Right. Maybe they just want to bring
- 29:45attention to themselves, although I don't think even in
- 29:46town would have stopped them. Right.
- 29:48So they they walked that long corridor of St. that where they
- 29:52left their car, you know, because again, they were pretty
- 29:54far away, you know, considering. But the way the movie was set
- 29:58up, they came around that corner a little too quick and they get
- 30:01to the car and they see that the tires are slashed.
- 30:04Shocker. Right.
- 30:06And so they end up running towards the the harbor and they
- 30:10see the gentleman who has his own boat.
- 30:13I didn't catch the the gentleman's name.
- 30:15Yeah, they gave him gave him one.
- 30:18Yeah, I don't think so. And so Audrey says, hey, you
- 30:22know, we're being followed. And Ennis asks, you know, if you
- 30:27if he can take them to the rig as the men are approaching.
- 30:30And he's like, no, no, we're we're not doing that.
- 30:33And then he ends up seeing the guys.
- 30:35He's like, all right, come on. And so he takes off as the four
- 30:39guys end up at the dock and they're looking out because,
- 30:43like, the guy has blood all over his head and.
- 30:45They're with the bottle. Yeah.
- 30:47And the four guys are are looking out as looking out on
- 30:51the water and then they look over and they see Chocolito with
- 30:54the mixed oil boat. And this is the last if we see
- 30:57of them. Yeah, we we don't see these guys
- 31:00any further. I felt like it was like an
- 31:03unfinished plot hole. But at the same time, I guess it
- 31:06could have been the end because of the reason why they looked at
- 31:09Nixon oils. They probably could have
- 31:10understood it's them. Yeah.
- 31:12But I feel like that was the whole basis for getting them out
- 31:15to the rig, like they had to have some way to get them to go
- 31:18out there. Oh.
- 31:20True, yeah. So these bad guys are chasing
- 31:22them through town. Chasing I I say that with
- 31:25quotes, chasing them through town and is how else you know,
- 31:29what are the reasons are they going to have to go out to the
- 31:31boat other than they feel unsafe?
- 31:33I guess so. Yeah, because, I mean, they
- 31:35didn't really make any kind of specification that they were
- 31:38going to kill Paul's family, but that you're right, I mean, that
- 31:42could have been part of it. They just didn't explain that
- 31:44part. Yeah, I mean, that was just the
- 31:46feeling I got. But no, I mean, it makes sense
- 31:49where they were looking at the Nixon oil guy because I thought
- 31:51they were going to have him bring them out.
- 31:53But then, but then that's like where the whole thing ended, you
- 31:56know, for that like that storyline, that's where that
- 31:58whole thing ended. So your theory, I think makes
- 32:00more sense that they looked at the Nixon oil boat.
- 32:03It's like, oh, OK, it's that guy.
- 32:05So, you know, they can go off and and do the thing.
- 32:08So at this point, Paul is still on the water and but he's he's
- 32:13starting to approach the rig because you start seeing huge
- 32:18oil blood spills everywhere. Well, this is the Part 2 where
- 32:22when he starts going up there 'cause the last scene with the
- 32:26oil rig was with the two guys. And of course I didn't notice
- 32:29the bomb so I didn't realize it was 2 weeks prior.
- 32:31But the the last scene we saw by the rig where the two guys got
- 32:35killed by the shark. And when he goes out there and
- 32:38he's going through this murky water, that look, and it looked
- 32:40red to me. And I was like, Oh my God, their
- 32:42blood is still in this fucking water.
- 32:45What the fuck? It took me so long, so long to
- 32:49figure this out. Yeah, right.
- 32:52Even though I saw the guy like the water on fire and I knew
- 32:56that was from oil, it just did not register in my brain.
- 32:59It happens. So he's he's going through the
- 33:06oil spill and as he's approaching the rig he sees like
- 33:11a broken air tank and a diving mask and he pulls it out of the
- 33:15water and it has dried blood on it.
- 33:19My question is, especially where it's been 2 weeks, how is there
- 33:23dried blood on a diving mask in the water for two weeks?
- 33:29Salt water at that. You got me, man.
- 33:31I mean, I just say covered in blood, so I don't know.
- 33:34That's true. It wasn't crazy to me.
- 33:39Paul finally gets to a spot where he can climb up on the
- 33:42rig, and you know, he's talking to himself.
- 33:44He's like, where is everybody? He starts yelling out a little
- 33:46bit and all you hear is the creaking and the groaning of the
- 33:49of the rig and it looks I'm pretty damn abandoned at this
- 33:53point. He tries to open up a door and
- 33:57it's locked and he's all pissed off and he sees another God
- 34:00painting on the wall and he's like oh, corporate won't go for
- 34:03this. And he's looking around further
- 34:06and he goes into a little cabin where this little Chihuahua and
- 34:11starts barking at him. And he's like, oh, are you here
- 34:14by yourself? That's the real.
- 34:16Demon, right? Yeah.
- 34:19And a voice behind him says, Nope, he's not.
- 34:21Paul turns around and we see someone standing behind him with
- 34:26a machete and crazy eyes. Paul asks, where's Pepe?
- 34:30And we don't know who Pepe is. And he just, it's just a man
- 34:33that he throws out there. And Junior, which is, OK, so
- 34:38Chado is the guy holding the machete.
- 34:40And again, we're going to learn this a while later.
- 34:42But and then we have Junior, who's his accomplice or
- 34:47assistant, protege assistant. And so Junior says, oh, you
- 34:50know, Pepe is dead. Paul introduces himself and it's
- 34:53like, oh, what's happening? He's like, oh, dude, the
- 34:55Hobbermaster call ahead and charter was like, no, radio's
- 34:59dead. June.
- 34:59He's like, oh, we haven't seen our corporate guy here in a
- 35:02while. And they asked how he got there.
- 35:04He says the motor boat and that he's alone.
- 35:07I don't know how they did this, but because they're in the cabin
- 35:11quite a ways away from where where Paul docked and they hear
- 35:16the motor of the other boat, like way out in the water,
- 35:21right, that has his family. Yeah, but they didn't hear him.
- 35:25Again, expansion of reality, but they're asking us to do it a
- 35:29little too much. Right.
- 35:31Yeah, hear the motor and you know, as stated, it's with the
- 35:34family. Now I have to point out the fact
- 35:38of how quickly the family got there versus how quickly Paul
- 35:43got there. Right, well, I guess it must be
- 35:45because Paul had to make the change over into another boat,
- 35:49and maybe that took a long time. Maybe their goodbye was longer
- 35:52than we knew and because that guy that brought them there
- 35:58brought them straight there, he didn't stop at the island and
- 36:00make them get on a boat that wasn't there anymore,
- 36:02apparently. Obviously so.
- 36:04But yeah, because they got there no time after he got there.
- 36:08Right, so we see Tommy. He's putting his head over the
- 36:12water and it appears that an oil slick starts moving towards
- 36:15them, kind of like the raft. Right.
- 36:18Like the little sludge thing in the raft is moving fairly
- 36:21quickly. So I don't know what that was
- 36:23supposed to signify, but the oil was after him.
- 36:27So Tommy with his head over the edge and this is like, oh, you
- 36:30know, pull your head back in. And we're underneath the water
- 36:34now. And we see a shark, you know,
- 36:36approach the boat. Audrey puts her hand in the
- 36:38water and it's all covered in oil.
- 36:40And she looks at it and she's disgusted.
- 36:42And a fin comes out of the water on the side.
- 36:44And Tommy's like, oh, what's that?
- 36:46And we hear a flare gun being fired and the shark goes off to
- 36:50the side. Like we see an underwater
- 36:52Charlotte sharks like swimming towards us.
- 36:54And these years off towards where the flare gun was shot.
- 36:57And so the boat is able to continue on its adventure.
- 37:00Chado and Junior end up running down the ladders and they're
- 37:04banging on the on the rig, you know, trying to make a much
- 37:07noise as they can and banging on whatever is in the water to make
- 37:11noise. And Paul's like all confused,
- 37:14running around asking what they're doing, What are you
- 37:16doing? And.
- 37:17Why are we doing all this? Right.
- 37:19And Tommy uses his telescope and he sees Paul and two guys out
- 37:22there at the rig. We see like water violently
- 37:25bubbling up and the boats that were there end up tipping over
- 37:29and they sink and Paul's again. What's going on?
- 37:33Yeah, that was Paul's boat. Paul's boat that he came there
- 37:35and was gone. Yeah, back at the other boat,
- 37:38Audrey's asking the mother the same thing.
- 37:40What's going on? That's a common theme in this
- 37:42movie. Everybody's asking what's going
- 37:44on. Pay attention.
- 37:46You'll see. Just.
- 37:48Give it a minute. And it says to hold tight.
- 37:52Shadow sets off another flare. Paul asks where the disruption
- 37:56is coming from because there's more banging and stuff from the
- 38:01shark on on the rig. And Charlo says not where, but
- 38:06what is. And he sets off the other flare
- 38:10and the captain of the other boat guns it, knocking the
- 38:12family back. Chadow and Junior are waving to
- 38:15make the boat go faster. I guess.
- 38:17You know, it's like, hey, come on, come on, come on.
- 38:19Yeah, that's not helping. You know, you're not creating a
- 38:23vortex to make the make the boat move faster.
- 38:26But apparently in this, it worked because they made it to
- 38:28the dock. Paul helps them up into the rig.
- 38:30And Paul's like, you know, why are you here?
- 38:33She doesn't really have an answer right away.
- 38:35And they're hearing noises all around the rig.
- 38:37Audrey ends up falling into the water as she falls, and she sees
- 38:41all kinds of body parts, arms and feet, mostly right, And
- 38:46she's freaked out. She pops up her head.
- 38:48She's screaming her head off. The catch on the boat of the
- 38:52boat that dropped him off just hightails it out.
- 38:54He's like, yeah, I'm done, let's go like.
- 38:56He's I'm getting out of here. Yeah.
- 38:57And when? When Audrey fell in the water.
- 38:59Yeah, When Audrey fell in the water, this.
- 39:03I thought, my God, no wonder you have a fucking shark problem.
- 39:07You got a bunch of dead body parts all over the fucking
- 39:10place. Is this what you're guarding?
- 39:11Your rig is through body parts? Because I think that's doing the
- 39:15opposite of what you need to have done, Right?
- 39:17It didn't dawn on me what the fuck this was.
- 39:19There were so many times in this movie.
- 39:20I was like, what the fuck is happening?
- 39:22I don't understand any of it. Of course, later on, because
- 39:27it's similar to the guy who became Aquaman and saw the
- 39:31jellyfish and all that shit. But of course, at this point in
- 39:34time, you don't realize what this is.
- 39:36And and I'm like, why would they have a why would they surround
- 39:39themselves with all these body parts?
- 39:40And of course, I also thought, are these all the body parts
- 39:43from the two guys? The two guys have this many body
- 39:46parts that got killed earlier. Like why are they still bombing
- 39:49around here? I was like what the fuck?
- 39:52I thought, I thought it was more of the people who were running
- 39:55the rig like I was there, there, there remained like not just the
- 39:59two guys in the boat, but like everybody else's remains at the
- 40:02same time. Well, that was because I had the
- 40:05two conflicting thoughts I had. It's the two guys that we saw in
- 40:08the beginning that died. I was like, there's too many
- 40:10body parts. And then I thought, oh, maybe
- 40:12the two guys that are left on the rig killed the other people
- 40:15and threw their body parts in the water.
- 40:18To. Stave off the sharks.
- 40:21Yeah. And that would really work.
- 40:24Oh, yeah, that that would be that would be the perfect plan,
- 40:26yeah. How do you get rid of sharks?
- 40:31Keep it fully fed and it won't eat you.
- 40:33Right. You know, I mean, that is the
- 40:34idea, you know. I mean, you feed a tiger, you
- 40:37know enough to pet him for about 1/2 an hour until he's hungry
- 40:42again. That was real stupid in this
- 40:44movie, Yeah, you know. Well, I mean it.
- 40:52You can. Do a lot of OK, I won't save
- 40:55you. There's no saving you for this.
- 40:57One I got super dumb. Aubrey pops your head up, you
- 41:01know the guy. Tie tails it out.
- 41:04Now we see underwater and the shark is coming up to get Audrey
- 41:08and they pull her out just in the nick of time.
- 41:11Which is just bullshit. But where does the shark go?
- 41:15This shark is huge mungus. Because it's not a, it's not an
- 41:21apparition shark. It's physically there.
- 41:25And the shark was coming up very fast.
- 41:28Right. And they were in the middle of
- 41:32the docking area of the rig, so if the shark did come up, the
- 41:36size of this thing would have knocked out the entire deck
- 41:39system. Yeah, and it would have totally
- 41:41come out of the water. He was huge and he was barreling
- 41:44up on her from the bottom. And sharks do.
- 41:47And there's no reason it just as soon as it doesn't see
- 41:50something, it just gives up and then just stops going to hold
- 41:52the brakes. It's got a good braking system.
- 41:54I'm like what? I'm So what we do learn, since
- 41:57we're talking about this right now, what we do learn later is
- 42:00it's a megalodon, one of those big ass prehistoric sharks,
- 42:04correct. But but we'll learn why that's
- 42:08what it is. So Aubrey is like freaking out.
- 42:10She's like, you know, there are bodies in the water and this is
- 42:12like, Oh no, there's nothing there.
- 42:13And Paul's calmly talking to her.
- 42:16At that point, Junior takes Aubrey and Tommy away into the
- 42:18cabin, and Paul and Innis are left behind, questioning Shadow.
- 42:23What's going on. Like what happened to the boat
- 42:25and then all the other mishaps that are happening.
- 42:28He tells them, you know, you don't want to know.
- 42:30Innis insists on knowing, so Shadow gives her some binoculars
- 42:35and points out to the boat that's going away.
- 42:38And there's a shark fin that comes out of the water.
- 42:40And it's a huge shark fin. Like, I mean, this thing is
- 42:45gargantuan. And Innis is like, what is that?
- 42:48As the boat goes on, shark comes jumping out of the water
- 42:51underneath it, destroying the boat, killing the guy.
- 42:54I mean, this is like a quadruple XL shark.
- 42:58I mean, oh, yeah, like I said, it is huge, like megalodon huge.
- 43:01And Paul works at Charo, says Jesus Christ.
- 43:04Charo's like no the black demon. Yeah.
- 43:09And Anna's freaks out. She's looking for the kids.
- 43:11I hate this art, by the way, That was the that was the only
- 43:13part of the movie. I was like, oh, they needed
- 43:15sentimental music there. True sentimental or ominous
- 43:21sentimental? Truly sentimental is that poor
- 43:25dude. I mean, he was just some
- 43:26innocent bystander just sitting there out the dock.
- 43:29No problems, everything's fine. He was probably the most
- 43:32innocent out of this entire movie.
- 43:34Right. And you know, he's just doing
- 43:36his thing and then a bunch of people show up, desperate
- 43:40trouble, which he notices because of those guys after
- 43:42them. And he's like, OK, I'll even
- 43:44though I don't want to, I don't care how much money you give me.
- 43:46I really don't want to go out there because you know, that
- 43:49money is he knows that money is going to be worthless.
- 43:51He takes them out there, the goodness of his heart, and then
- 43:55BAM by Megalodon. Poor guy.
- 43:57Yeah, no, I agree. You know, and and that's where
- 43:59they should have been. Sad music.
- 44:01So Paul is just staring out at the water where the boat used to
- 44:04be, and now we're inside and it looks like Junior is making some
- 44:09sort of coffee or hot cocoa. Junior and Anna's are just
- 44:12staring at each other awkwardly. I don't know if it's because
- 44:15they were having googly eyes or if they were having like a
- 44:18moment of understanding, but they're just looking at each
- 44:21other a little too long. She ends up walking over to
- 44:24Audrey and gives her some of the hot cocoa, and then she gives
- 44:27Tommy the rest. She goes over to Audrey, helps
- 44:30clean her up because she's got oil all over her.
- 44:32Not blood, but oil, right? And Tommy hears that strange
- 44:37whisper that we heard earlier over his shoulder, because now
- 44:41he's acknowledging that there's a whisper.
- 44:43Junior looks up over at Tommy and Tommy takes the figure that
- 44:47he got from the from the other idol and he put pulls it out of
- 44:51his pocket. He sees another box of all these
- 44:53little little figures and Junior's looking on.
- 44:57To me, it kind of looked like that.
- 44:59It was like a box of like Taurus trinkets, things that when it
- 45:02was like more of a bustling town, that stuff that people
- 45:06just making sell off or right. That's what it looked like to
- 45:09me. I thought that's what they were
- 45:10trying to say, but they also never really explained the box.
- 45:13They just show the box of figures.
- 45:15Yeah, I just assumed that they were little idols that they had
- 45:18to protect themselves, you know, very much like Greg Brady, right
- 45:22when they went to Hawaii. Right, and that didn't seem to
- 45:24work though, as I recall. It didn't, he still fell and hit
- 45:28his head while he was right. Yep, you know, and I agree with
- 45:32the memes that because of those shows, I really thought that
- 45:36quicksand was going to be a bigger problem.
- 45:38Right. Yeah, we talked about this.
- 45:39Yeah, yeah. With quicksand and stop, drop
- 45:42and roll. Yes.
- 45:44I thought I was going to be on fire a whole bunch.
- 45:45Yes, Yep, now I remember. Yep, you know, being in fire and
- 45:49quicksand. I suppose the quicksand would
- 45:51put the fire out eventually. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I guess if
- 45:54you, if you're on fire and you're going to die anyway,
- 45:57you're going to figure out which way you want to die.
- 45:59So do you jump in quicksand? Because that would probably be
- 46:01less painful, but you just drowned in sand maybe?
- 46:05Yeah, pretty much. I mean, you'd end up
- 46:07suffocating, yeah. Yeah, So I don't know.
- 46:10All right, Sure. OK.
- 46:13The conundrum. So now?
- 46:19Paul asks ask him about the shark and try to give him
- 46:24whatever reason and Paul's asking you all how long has it
- 46:26been since other people have been here and try to was like
- 46:29it's been a long time. I've lost track of time.
- 46:32That's not exactly true. But you know what else he says
- 46:37you most of the crew either evacuated or died and in this is
- 46:40starting to panic because there's no cell service.
- 46:42She's starting to freak out those kids in their cell phones.
- 46:45She's starting to feel get well. She's feeling guilty about the
- 46:47man dying. She's the only one that is.
- 46:50Right. Yeah, she's the only one that
- 46:52feels bad because like, she wouldn't have died if I didn't
- 46:54come out here and yada yada yada.
- 46:56Yeah, she felt the same way I felt.
- 46:58Yeah, yeah. And Paul's like, well, it's not
- 47:01your fault, you know, but it really was.
- 47:03So she ends up asking Paul what it is that's out in the water.
- 47:06And Paul says, oh, you know, it's just a shark.
- 47:09This is where Chad was like, Nah, it's a megalodon.
- 47:11And Tommy's like, they're extinct.
- 47:13And Paul questions about leaving the rig and, like, what, we're
- 47:16going to go. And Chad was like, there's no
- 47:18way off the rig and gets annoyed with Paul because he's always,
- 47:21he's talking about leaving and cell phones and radios and
- 47:24there's like I keep telling you, none of this stuff works.
- 47:26Then there's like a Big Bang and a vibration that you hear and
- 47:30assumably feel if you're on there.
- 47:32And Chado says it's the megalodon.
- 47:35Paul says it's on the southern leg.
- 47:37That's where they hold the auxiliary lines conveniently
- 47:41because it's the only thing that's working right now.
- 47:44Right when they were going down towards the southern leg, Paul
- 47:47asks Charter what him and Junior do.
- 47:50And he's like, whatever is needed to keep this hunk of shit
- 47:52together. Paul's like, you know, hunk of
- 47:54shit. That's putting it mildly.
- 47:56He asks for a full rundown of the RIGS diagnostics.
- 47:59Charter says nothing works. And Paul's like, what do you
- 48:01mean nothing works? And he's like, what about the
- 48:03oil leak? Charter was like, it's been
- 48:05leaking for months. He's like for months.
- 48:07And Charter says you know them. Mendejos at Nixon Oil knew all
- 48:11about it, and they never bothered to send resources to
- 48:14help. Yeah, like how the fuck is this
- 48:17much oil out in the ocean and no one's doing shit about it?
- 48:21Right, exactly. He goes on to explain that him
- 48:24and Junior were assigned at a different location and he found
- 48:27out about the difficulties of the town, so he came back to
- 48:30help, but the mess was a lot bigger than they thought it was.
- 48:34He's like, I'd love to gather up all the Nixon Oil bigwigs and
- 48:38feed their to Toro. I'm assuming balls, right?
- 48:43Again, I don't speak Span and I'm probably slaughtering these
- 48:46words. And if there's any Spanish
- 48:47speakers out of the five of you, I apologize for slaughtering the
- 48:52language. I don't speak it natively or,
- 48:56you know, non natively. I don't speak it at all.
- 48:58So if I'm messing it up, I apologize.
- 49:01So we hear another bang and it almost knocks Paul over the
- 49:04railing. This time Chad was like, oh,
- 49:05this thing can't take much more. And Paul says it can withstand a
- 49:09Category 5 hurricane or tornado. Chad was like, this is not a
- 49:12Category 5 tornado at the same time.
- 49:15Paul's was it an earthquake? I didn't, I didn't think, I
- 49:19didn't think earthquakes were rated as categories.
- 49:22I think he wasn't. I could have swore he said
- 49:24earthquake. Maybe he didn't say anything.
- 49:26I think he's just a Category 5. My brain just went to Earthquake
- 49:30because, you know, I was stupid in this movie.
- 49:33Yeah, and and I went to Tornado, but.
- 49:36It's probably a hurricane out in the middle of the water.
- 49:38Right. And it could be a hurricane.
- 49:40Yeah, I'm gonna get that earthquake.
- 49:42I'm a dummy and this would be made me stupid.
- 49:49Well, I mean a hurricane. There's the hurricane wind
- 49:53scale, which assigns categories from 1:00 to 5:00, right?
- 49:57I thought, I, I thought I wrote earthquake.
- 49:59Never mind. No, I said earthquake like a
- 50:01doofus. Well, when I was looking it up,
- 50:02I wrote Hurricane, but I was trying to look for.
- 50:06Tornado. So, Oh yeah, that that's what it
- 50:10is. It's magnitude.
- 50:11Earthquakes are rated. As magnitude and.
- 50:14Hurricanes and tornadoes are categories, right?
- 50:17Do tornadoes go up to fives? Yeah.
- 50:20Oh, OK. They're rare, but yes.
- 50:24OK, So we don't know exactly what category of things that
- 50:28they're talking about, but it's bad weather.
- 50:30We'll see that category 5 bad weather and and so and you know
- 50:36at that point and and and again what I was going to say is
- 50:39Paul's not taking into consideration that this thing
- 50:41keeps hitting the same spot over and over again right.
- 50:44What happens when you keep hitting the same spot over and
- 50:47over again? It starts to weaken he.
- 50:49Seems so unfazed by all of this. Yeah, and I was like, what the
- 50:54fuck, dude? Like, there's obviously some
- 50:56shit going on here. Again, I didn't like Paul.
- 50:59He was a douchebag. And I couldn't tell if it was
- 51:01just the bad act, if he was bad acting, or I was like.
- 51:06Or if he was just playing the character so well that he just
- 51:08looked like he was bad acting. Maybe, Rhodium says.
- 51:11Such a douchebag that he came off as a bad actor.
- 51:14That's what it was, yeah. But at this point, after you
- 51:17know, they're talking about the Category 5 bad weather says at
- 51:20least we have auxiliary. Surprisingly, it goes out at
- 51:24that moment. Right.
- 51:25Just. Amazing.
- 51:27So now we see Shadow Junior and Paul down back at the cabin
- 51:32making plans to reset the power. Tommy finds some Spaghettios and
- 51:36Paul's like, Oh yeah, that's what they eat down here, you
- 51:38know, kind of sounding arrogant again, like, you know, we have
- 51:41lobster and clams and they have Chef Boyardee.
- 51:45That's what they. Eat which the name of that and I
- 51:49don't I've not bought Spanish versions of the food we eat all
- 51:53too often instead of like, you know, Taco Bell.
- 51:56But. Great.
- 51:58You call that Spanish food? It's supposed to be Mexican, but
- 52:02it's not, right? But their Chef Boyardee, the
- 52:07name, it looks just like Chef Boyardee.
- 52:09Everything about it, the coloring, everything about it
- 52:11was, but it was Josefina. Interesting.
- 52:14Yeah, is Hostafina so. Will that be Josephine?
- 52:18Yeah, the American version of that would be Josephine.
- 52:21Yeah. So part of the plan shadow and
- 52:23junior are getting ready for a dive.
- 52:24They Paul setting up the tanks for the bell and and it's a
- 52:28scared about the plan, but Paul is telling him, oh, you know,
- 52:31the bell should withstand the shark.
- 52:33Paul has a lot of assumptions right now that you know the rig
- 52:37is going to be fine. The rig can stand or category 5
- 52:41bad weather. Especially the guy who isn't
- 52:44going to do shit right. You know, the bell should be
- 52:47able to handle everything that it comes at.
- 52:50You know, it's like Paul and and dismissing all the demon stuff
- 52:54is is not helping him at all. But you know, he's he's very
- 53:00arrogant about it all and try to tells the kids about, you know,
- 53:03books and games like, hey, you know, if you're bored, we got
- 53:05books and games. And it's like gets unnecessarily
- 53:08pissed off about this. We're not going to get
- 53:11comfortable here. Right.
- 53:13And then she quickly, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.
- 53:15Maybe that's a good idea to calm everybody down.
- 53:18Yes, thank. You need some Hun color or
- 53:21something. Stay in the lines.
- 53:24Right. Get your shit together.
- 53:28Like come on now, what else do you guys going to do?
- 53:31Right, exactly. You know, Chef Boyardee and and,
- 53:34you know, paint wooden ships, right?
- 53:37Like, what the fuck? So Chados still talking, ends up
- 53:39talking a little bit about the history of the Reagan.
- 53:42He's like he was built, you know, there to provide jobs and
- 53:45improve the town. And it worked at first, but
- 53:47being in the jurisdiction they were, the company was able to,
- 53:51you know, peel back some of the regulations and overlooked a lot
- 53:54of the stuff that was going on and nobody really cared about
- 53:57it. Chados like this isn't just a
- 53:59shark or megalodon, it's a curse.
- 54:02And again, Paul Blosenbaugh, like, Oh my God, you know,
- 54:05whatever. This is where Chado starts
- 54:07saying the the megalodon is an extension of an old God and he
- 54:11starts talking about how to walk, gives life, crops and
- 54:14rain. And well, that's like we we're
- 54:16told this quite a bit. Yeah.
- 54:18At the a long time ago, his would only pray for what they
- 54:21needed. But many years ago, a flood came
- 54:24through and people prayed for more than they needed and became
- 54:27greedy. And the flood actually came from
- 54:30wrath. And Paul again, blows him off
- 54:33like wrath. Oh my God.
- 54:35You know, whatever whatever did and that people killed all the
- 54:39animals and took over lakes and just we, you know, ravaged the
- 54:42land, the people believe that Talaq was pissed and brought the
- 54:46megalodon back to Earth. Then he tells Paul I'm.
- 54:50Sorry, is this the part where they show all the different
- 54:54horrible things that happened to the earth?
- 54:56Yes. OK, yes.
- 54:58Like all the pollution? Yeah, pollution, sad seals,
- 55:01icebergs, all that. Yeah, well, you know when Heidi
- 55:08Klum left him, Right, Right. Yeah, yeah.
- 55:11I, I, I know that they went, they went through like the
- 55:14whole, like there, there's this whole thing where they showed
- 55:16like all this horrible Earth stuff.
- 55:20Yeah, right. Yeah.
- 55:21I thought this was part. OK, yeah.
- 55:24It it feels like this was a very like Take Care of the Earth sort
- 55:28of movie. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 55:30I What year did you say this came out?
- 55:312023 that. Wasn't very long ago, no.
- 55:35I thought maybe it came out back, you know, when Al Gore
- 55:38was. Popular.
- 55:39No, No. Yeah.
- 55:40And I think that's what it is, is like they hook you in.
- 55:43Had like a crack dealer. They hook you in, right.
- 55:45And then they, you know, dumped it all on you, right?
- 55:48I was like, where did the fuck is this coming from?
- 55:50I mean, I get, I mean, obviously there was the thing about the
- 55:54whole oil thing. I got, I got that.
- 55:56That's what the idea of the movie was.
- 55:57But then all of a sudden you're just bombarded with all these
- 55:59images of the Earth, you know, on fire, and all this shit's
- 56:04happening and seals are dying and polar bears are drowning or
- 56:07whatever. And I was like, and I was like,
- 56:10holy shit, where's this the sentimental music at?
- 56:16But anyway, yeah, you're just out of nowhere all of a sudden.
- 56:18Because I felt like they, the point of the movie was I was
- 56:21getting the point. And then they did that and I was
- 56:23like, my God. Yeah, You know, at first it was
- 56:26subtle, and then they, like, just nail it right into your
- 56:28head, Right. OK.
- 56:30So Shadow at this point tells Paul to ask what his daughter
- 56:34saw, and he goes for Audrey. Not not in a violent way, but
- 56:38everybody's like, kind of panicked.
- 56:39Ennis gets in the way. And then Ennis stops Shadow and
- 56:43asks Paul what he saw about the about the shark eating the other
- 56:47boat. And Paul's all silent.
- 56:49Usually that's what happens when, you know, someone's like,
- 56:52on the on the brink of belief and disbelief.
- 56:55You know, they don't know what they saw.
- 56:56They can't explain it. So I don't know.
- 56:59So Charles saying, you know, we're destroying Talox world.
- 57:03And yes, this was all in that part where they were showing
- 57:06like a bunch of like oil refineries and animals and all
- 57:10that. Solution.
- 57:11All that stuff. And Charles, like, you know, the
- 57:13demon is back and Aubrey asks, you know how it ends?
- 57:17Like how how do we stop the stuff?
- 57:19And Chado says, you know, it's all about revenge.
- 57:22And the only way we can stop is if we kill the megalodon.
- 57:25But it will only truly stop when a true sacrifice is made.
- 57:29Always. And forever.
- 57:31There's always got to be a sacrifice.
- 57:33Right. Oh, the way you said it, I
- 57:36thought there was something else you're going to add to it.
- 57:38So I'm like always and forever like the Bon Jovi song.
- 57:44Now Joby shows up. What are you doing on this oil
- 57:48rig? I need more oil for my hair.
- 57:54We're having a concert to save the planet.
- 57:55Right. So, you know, Trato is like, you
- 57:58know, it's going to be difficult because all life has been killed
- 58:00here. And that's why the town is so
- 58:02dry. He won't let it rain.
- 58:04All right, And he sees Junior's necklace and asks him what's
- 58:08that? And Junior takes it off and
- 58:10gives it to him. He's like, oh, it's for luck.
- 58:12And Paul, unnecessarily pissed, ends up yelling that's enough.
- 58:18It's like, dude, like seriously, pull that butt plug out.
- 58:23Give this man a coloring book. You know, he goes on with this
- 58:29little tirade, but he's like, I'm not buying this demon thing
- 58:32and God explanation. And Innis is trying to interrupt
- 58:35him as he continues channels. Like, you know, we're destroying
- 58:38the planet. And everything kind of stops at
- 58:41this point because we hear a Big Bang again.
- 58:44Like, we keep hearing big bangs. Yeah.
- 58:46Chatter goes out to the bell. I'm like, the bell dive or the
- 58:49diving bell, rather. And Paul ends up, like, looking
- 58:52at the family, like, you know, don't listen to them.
- 58:54And this reminds them of, you saw the demon, too.
- 58:57Paul just leaves because I'm done.
- 58:58We have, like, a long shot of the rig closing in with ominous
- 59:02music. Real ominous music.
- 59:05Right at this point, they're prepping the bell for a dive.
- 59:07And Junior asks Paul if he believes he's in Tolok.
- 59:12And Paul's like, no, but I know a big ass shark when I see one,
- 59:16which is fair. I mean, that that's a fair
- 59:19answer. Yeah.
- 59:20So as he's saying that, we're under the water and we see the
- 59:23megalodon swim by, and we're back up top, and they're
- 59:26continuing, you know, preparing the bell.
- 59:28Julia and Chado at this point are lowered into the water
- 59:31manually, you know, and Paul's watching this.
- 59:34He's the one that's sending everybody off to do all The
- 59:37Dirty work. Like he's just, you know, you're
- 59:40there. They have cameras on them and
- 59:41Paul has a screen that they can watch them on and he's holding
- 59:44that as they go down to the water.
- 59:46So they ask about communication. And I think Junior is the one
- 59:49that says the radio should work between the bell and the ring
- 59:52and they show them going down into the oilish murky water.
- 59:56I feel like that they kept on using the same green screen
- 59:59background like it never changed because there are certain parts
- 1:00:03where you could tell that it was a green screen And and again
- 1:00:06movie magic they have to. To do what they have to do.
- 1:00:08But sometimes you can overly tell, and this time, like this
- 1:00:11movie, just felt like they kept on reusing the same backdrop.
- 1:00:14Yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely. So the bell stops, they they
- 1:00:17both open the bottom hatch. Chato and Junior are both
- 1:00:21playfully arguing about who's going to go 1st.
- 1:00:24And Chato's like you. And Junior is like, oh, of
- 1:00:26course. And Chato's like, well, I can't
- 1:00:29leave Toro as an orphan. And they both laugh, you know,
- 1:00:32at that. And Junior jumps in first he
- 1:00:34starts swimming off and then Chato's like right behind him
- 1:00:37start swimming towards the legs that they need to go to.
- 1:00:40Chado looks around and he sees just clouds of oil just being
- 1:00:44pushed around. Chado motions to Paul, like
- 1:00:48giving him sign language about what he's going to do or, or
- 1:00:50whatever. And Junior at this point is done
- 1:00:54doing whatever he needed to do. And he's going back to the bell.
- 1:00:57And Chado, as he they're going up, he sees the green lights.
- 1:01:00He goes over and he sees the bomb.
- 1:01:02At this point, at two hours, like 2 1/2 hours, it's about how
- 1:01:06much time they have left. Paul sees it in the camera view.
- 1:01:09Chado hears a whispering woman kind of chanting in the
- 1:01:12background. And then body parts start
- 1:01:15raining around him in the water and he's just sitting around and
- 1:01:19he sees an eyeball that is just floating there and looking at
- 1:01:22the camera. And then all of a sudden it just
- 1:01:24turns around and looks at him. Yeah.
- 1:01:27And. This is where I start realizing
- 1:01:29that those things aren't there. Yeah, yeah.
- 1:01:33Yeah, it took me that long. It's like, but and then it it he
- 1:01:38confirms it later with this another scene that happens.
- 1:01:41I'm like, oh, OK, I see what's going on.
- 1:01:43But yeah, the so the body parts that I thought they were using
- 1:01:46as a way to safeguard themselves from sharks, they were never
- 1:01:48there when what's your name fell in the water.
- 1:01:50And neither was the whole fish jellyfish scene.
- 1:01:52Those things weren't there. Right.
- 1:01:54So Junior starts to swim really, really fast to the bell and he
- 1:01:58gets up and he looks out the window and he sees Chato, who is
- 1:02:02back looking at the bomb. So whatever whatever thing that
- 1:02:05he was seeing, he was still at the bomb.
- 1:02:08It was just in his head that he was seeing everything, but it
- 1:02:11looked real to him as as we'll discuss later.
- 1:02:13At that point, Junior sees the megalodon coming up towards the
- 1:02:17bell and he braces himself like as if to hold the bell in place,
- 1:02:22like he's got his arms out, stretching his legs out stretch
- 1:02:24like you're not going to crush this.
- 1:02:26The megalodon ends up grabbing it and we see on on the surface
- 1:02:31that the manual lever is like spinning like a mile a minute.
- 1:02:35Oh yeah. And Paul runs over to the, to
- 1:02:38the system that holds it in place, and he's punching it
- 1:02:41like, really hard, like it's gonna do anything.
- 1:02:44I guess there's a button maybe? I was like is he trying to push
- 1:02:46a button to stop it? Because I think it's a manual
- 1:02:49thing or. Well, he was trying to punch the
- 1:02:51button. There was no pressing.
- 1:02:55He was punching it. Yeah, because I think it was
- 1:02:58smoking. So it's not working.
- 1:03:00And then we see Junior and he starts to grunt because, you
- 1:03:03know, probably the pressure. We see the bell, it's starting
- 1:03:06to crush up a bit. And then we see a long shot and
- 1:03:11the bell is broken in half. Chado somehow avoids the shark
- 1:03:15of the megalodon and he climbs up the ladder and he gets to
- 1:03:18safety. He throws himself against the
- 1:03:20wall and Paul is like yelling over and over again.
- 1:03:23Where's Junior? Where's Junior?
- 1:03:24Where is and Chado sits up and as Junior floats to the top of
- 1:03:29the water, he's face down. Paul sees him and he's like
- 1:03:33doing everything he can to reach him without getting into the
- 1:03:37water because I noticed that he was trying to stay dry.
- 1:03:40Yeah. So he's losing like the, I don't
- 1:03:43know, like a rope or a cable or something to steady him while he
- 1:03:49reaches into the water. He grabs Junior, lifts him up
- 1:03:52like he's a rag doll, sees that it's only half of them, and just
- 1:03:55like, immediately throws him back in the water.
- 1:03:57Like you. Right, so Innis freaks out after
- 1:04:00seeing Junior's body and Paul looks up to the window in the
- 1:04:06cabin and he sees Aubrey's. Audrey is looking at this whole
- 1:04:10thing. I'm just going to call her
- 1:04:11fucking Aubrey. The rest of the guy band show.
- 1:04:13I'm sorry I. Wonder why you want to call her
- 1:04:15that? I don't know.
- 1:04:16It's because I used to know an Aubrey and I don't know, it's
- 1:04:20just easier for me to say. So I'm changing the the
- 1:04:22character's name to Aubrey. You know, the producers can get
- 1:04:26the fuck over it because I know they're listening.
- 1:04:29Sure. They're the other two, Yeah.
- 1:04:34They've just been waiting all this time for us to do this
- 1:04:35movie, right. Yeah.
- 1:04:38So Paul looks up and sees Audrey in the in the window, and she
- 1:04:42steps back and Tommy's again, another person.
- 1:04:45What's going on? Audrey's just telling them that,
- 1:04:47you know, their parents are just fighting.
- 1:04:49Paul's had a sink washing blood off his hands.
- 1:04:51Not the figurative blood, but the literal kind.
- 1:04:55Yeah. Because we'll learn a little
- 1:04:57later why it would be figuratively.
- 1:04:59He just says out randomly in the air, you're not taking my family
- 1:05:03from me. He scrubs harder, you know,
- 1:05:05'cause I guess that angered him. So he scrubs a lot harder.
- 1:05:09And Innis is rocking back and forth on the bed and she says
- 1:05:13that that he shouldn't have died, died like that because he
- 1:05:16was trying to save me. And she's referring to the the
- 1:05:19man. Paul is silent.
- 1:05:21He's like, oh, everything is going to be all right.
- 1:05:23I hate it when people do that. When things are going to shit,
- 1:05:26wow, everything's going to be all right.
- 1:05:28And I feel like, you know, I feel like it responds
- 1:05:31appropriately, says look around. You keep saying that, but it
- 1:05:35keeps getting worse. You're stuck on an oil rig out
- 1:05:37in the middle of the ocean with a gigantic fucking huge
- 1:05:41megalodon. And everybody around you is
- 1:05:43dying. Yeah, and even people who could
- 1:05:45get away on boats died. What do you what do you think's
- 1:05:48going to happen? Right, so she says, you know,
- 1:05:52you should really consider the demon story.
- 1:05:55He yells at her about it and says you and the kids shouldn't
- 1:05:58even be here. You know, I told you to stay
- 1:06:00back and but you didn't. She's trying to plead her case
- 1:06:02because this is the first time we hear her saying I was trying
- 1:06:05to get away from some man at the bar.
- 1:06:07This was only supposed to be a couple hours, right?
- 1:06:10And he did. Say that.
- 1:06:12He did and he says it was supposed to be.
- 1:06:14Paul says oh you know, I'll fix it.
- 1:06:16OK Paul. Paul comes out and Tommy gives
- 1:06:19him some coffee and he asks where's Junior?
- 1:06:21Paul's caught off guard like he doesn't know what to say as most
- 1:06:24of the time he just caught off guard.
- 1:06:26Audrey tells him. Oh he's in the electric room.
- 1:06:28Tommy satisfied with this answer and he walks away.
- 1:06:31Yeah, never asked. Nope.
- 1:06:34And now Charles now is now looking over at the water, just
- 1:06:38kind of staring off. And Paul joins them.
- 1:06:41Paul asks him about his shirt and he says when he gave it to
- 1:06:44him, I can't really wear it right now.
- 1:06:45Now I don't know what shirt he's referring to.
- 1:06:48This part, I was like this. After all of what just happened,
- 1:06:53you go up to Nacho. Is that his name?
- 1:06:57Is that the other? Guy.
- 1:06:57No, this is Charo. Nacho was the guy that was the
- 1:07:01first one that died. Right.
- 1:07:02He goes up to this guy Charo, and he the first thing he says,
- 1:07:06like what's up with the OR nice shirt or Oh no, he said changed
- 1:07:10your shirt. Like that's the first thing
- 1:07:12you're going to say changed your shirt.
- 1:07:14Like all this shit that just happened, Your his friend, his
- 1:07:17best friend just died and you're like changed your shirt.
- 1:07:20Nice. And I don't know what special
- 1:07:24shirt he had on either. I couldn't remember.
- 1:07:25I was like, oh, I didn't realize he was wearing a special shirt.
- 1:07:28I Yeah. Neither did I.
- 1:07:31I don't know what it was, I don't remember it at all.
- 1:07:33Right. So at that point, Palkin feels
- 1:07:36like shit, a bit like you can see that in his face.
- 1:07:38Channel starts giving his origin story with Junior.
- 1:07:42Yeah, He's like, oh, he would do anything that I asked him to do.
- 1:07:45He's a good guy. He asked Paul if he saw the
- 1:07:48bomb, and Paul's like, yeah, I saw it.
- 1:07:52He's like, how much time do we have, child?
- 1:07:54I don't know. Paul works out and sees three
- 1:07:57ships that appear suddenly, Charles telling him because he's
- 1:08:00like waving his arm, Hey, hey, hey, come here, Charles.
- 1:08:03Like, no, they're not there, man.
- 1:08:04Paul's convinced and he goes to shoot off a flare.
- 1:08:07The angle that we see is the ships aren't there.
- 1:08:10So when he shoots the flare off, you totally see that they're not
- 1:08:13there. And Charles yelling at him.
- 1:08:15Like I told you, I keep telling you that the lock plays with
- 1:08:19your mind. He makes you see things that
- 1:08:20aren't there. Hence the body parts in the
- 1:08:23water and the Aquaman scene. Paul looks out again, and this
- 1:08:27time he doesn't see anything. And he sits down with Chardo and
- 1:08:30they share a little bit of tequila.
- 1:08:32Chardo says Mothers nature is holding us accountable for the
- 1:08:35spill. I thought it was Tilak that was
- 1:08:38holding them accountable. I don't know where Mother Nature
- 1:08:41got into all of this. Which is it?
- 1:08:43Is it Tilak or is it Mother Nature?
- 1:08:45Can't be both unless they're banging.
- 1:08:47Yeah, you know. Maybe Mother Nature was the
- 1:08:49girlfriend that got stolen. Very true.
- 1:08:51That could have been. Paul dismisses the whole thing.
- 1:08:54It's like, it's not my fault and not a God.
- 1:08:56There's no God that made a shark.
- 1:08:58And he's again dismissing it. And although, like when Paul
- 1:09:01says this isn't my fault, that's felt a lot of guilt.
- 1:09:05Yeah. Like, hey, maybe I caused this,
- 1:09:07but it's not my fault. Chado gives him a bit of shit
- 1:09:09for being a company puppet. Paul goes off, you know, saying,
- 1:09:13oh, we're all puppets. Chado gets up and starts
- 1:09:15pointing out all his fancy things, his watch, his shirt,
- 1:09:19his cars. Paul basically tells him to
- 1:09:20stuff it, that he's earned everything that I've got and I'm
- 1:09:23not giving up my things. Chado punches him in the face.
- 1:09:27He gets up and Ennis comes out and she magically stops the
- 1:09:31fight just with her words, which doesn't usually happen, but she
- 1:09:34was able to this time. Paul starts saying this is all
- 1:09:37mismanagement, incompetence, it's, you know, not falling
- 1:09:40through with things. He's like, that's why the rig is
- 1:09:42failing and the shark is just a mutant freak from it all.
- 1:09:45We see Tommy in the cabin and he's commonly painting a little
- 1:09:51wooden boat that has some little figures in front of it.
- 1:09:55Like the wooden figures in front all comes into the cabin.
- 1:09:58Tommy asks them if they're leaving and he says yes, but
- 1:10:01they've got some work to do. Tommy says Tilak needs a
- 1:10:05sacrifice of kids and he starts going into gruesome detail about
- 1:10:09what you need to do to kill a child, to sacrifice for Tilak to
- 1:10:14stop. And and Paul's like, yeah, no,
- 1:10:16don't talk that way. Tommy's like, well, can we leave
- 1:10:19when you come back? He's like, yes, I just need you
- 1:10:21to find everything to use for, for a boat.
- 1:10:25Audrey's like, what the hell do you expect us to look for?
- 1:10:28He's like, I don't know anything that could be used.
- 1:10:30Then at that point, everybody, all the adults leave the kids in
- 1:10:34the cabin again with the dog, the true monster of the story.
- 1:10:37Correct. Actually, for Chihuahua, he was
- 1:10:39well behaved. Yeah, he was, surprisingly.
- 1:10:42And it tells Paul's and you can't do all any of this by
- 1:10:45yourself. Idol can help you.
- 1:10:47And I don't know how, but try to like ends up in the room.
- 1:10:51Yeah. And try to.
- 1:10:53Now, this time Chad was asking, what are you doing?
- 1:10:55He's like, you're trying to find waterways.
- 1:10:57He's banging on the pipes saying I'm working for the cooling
- 1:11:00system so I can get the generators working.
- 1:11:03Again, I'm not an engineer, so I don't know how any of this
- 1:11:06works. And the things that he does, I
- 1:11:08don't know how how it all came together, but it came together.
- 1:11:14He ends up coming to a valve that he feels is the cooling
- 1:11:17valve and he tries to open it and it's stuck.
- 1:11:19He can't do anything with it. And a channel comes over and
- 1:11:23moves it like it's melted butter, you know, exemplifying
- 1:11:28that. What's going to work?
- 1:11:29Teamwork. Audrey's looking for stuff
- 1:11:32throughout the cabin, and this is also looking for stuff.
- 1:11:35She sees more little figures and photos of beaches, pictures,
- 1:11:40good feet, you know, just. Just feet stuff, rashes and
- 1:11:43stuff too. Like I was like, yeah, how's
- 1:11:45that? Just the average everyday photos
- 1:11:47you would find in in in a cabin. Then she finds a bunch of
- 1:11:51paperwork and she starts to go through them.
- 1:11:53We don't know what they are right now, but she starts going
- 1:11:56through them. You see Paul grinding some pipes
- 1:11:59and Chato was like, what now? He says.
- 1:12:01Oh, you can Weld right? Chato just shakes his head.
- 1:12:04Yes. Now we're back to Tommy and he's
- 1:12:06walking down towards the water. He's carrying the little wooden
- 1:12:10boat that he was painting earlier.
- 1:12:11Audrey. As she's looking she finds a a
- 1:12:17locker that has a lock on it and she gets it unlocked and there's
- 1:12:20acetone in it and she just looks at it and like walks away.
- 1:12:23Tommy is seen putting the figures in the boat as it's in
- 1:12:27the water, labeling them as family members.
- 1:12:30Then we're back into the cabin and Audrey is looking for Tommy
- 1:12:34because she sees that he's gone. Innis is completely oblivious
- 1:12:38that he's gone. He had to walk past her and
- 1:12:40she's completely oblivious that he left because she's just
- 1:12:44looking at these documents, which we learn is safety
- 1:12:47documents that are heavily redacted.
- 1:12:49And Tommy puts the boat in the water and prays to to lock to
- 1:12:54give them safe passage. As he does, there's an
- 1:12:57underwater shot of the shark swimming pass like again, this
- 1:13:01is another other thing that I thought that they used over and
- 1:13:05over again is the underwater shot of the shark just it's side
- 1:13:10like going by the the oil rig. It feels like it was the same
- 1:13:14shot each time. So we're back at the at the
- 1:13:18little boat that he painted and it floats a little away.
- 1:13:22And after he did all this praying, the figurine
- 1:13:25representing Paul randomly falls into the water.
- 1:13:29Yeah, and it like popped out somehow.
- 1:13:31Like it popped right up in the air and then into the water.
- 1:13:33Yep. And what is that, kids?
- 1:13:35For. Shadowing Ennis is still looking
- 1:13:41at the papers and she sees there are many, many, many violations
- 1:13:46ignored and we're again seeing the shark is below Paul and
- 1:13:51Shardo where they're working. Now we're back to Ennis and she
- 1:13:55sees all the signatures on it, and then she goes down to the
- 1:13:59final signature and she sees that it's Paul's signature.
- 1:14:04So he is to blame for all of this.
- 1:14:08What? I am shocked.
- 1:14:13It wasn't Tommy and his tablet, it was his dad.
- 1:14:16I I can't believe it, can't believe the guy that goes and
- 1:14:20inspects everything. Is the one that signed it all
- 1:14:22off. And signed it all off.
- 1:14:24Yeah, it it specifically said that it was safe and to keep the
- 1:14:28rig running even though there was the safety issues.
- 1:14:31She has a look of Constipation, confusion that.
- 1:14:35'D be a great band name. Constipation, confusion.
- 1:14:42I don't know how constipated or my diarrhea.
- 1:14:48So we see Tommy. He's still by the water and he's
- 1:14:50watching his boat. The Megalo islands are coming up
- 1:14:53and hitting where he's at. He falls into the water again.
- 1:14:56The shark is fucking huge. How did we not see more of it?
- 1:15:00How did it not do more damage? How do you not fall on top of
- 1:15:03the shark? Exactly.
- 1:15:06So Tommy falls into the water and everybody hears him
- 1:15:08screaming and they all come to his rescue and it's jumps in to
- 1:15:12save and Paul's telling her no. But he ends up jumping into and
- 1:15:16the megalodon is getting close to Tommy again.
- 1:15:19And Paul is now doing what Chado and Junior were doing.
- 1:15:23He's hitting whatever he can to make noise.
- 1:15:25And the shark turns and starts going after Paul.
- 1:15:27Tommy and Ennis are pulled to safety.
- 1:15:30Paul is able to get out of the water very quickly.
- 1:15:32We see it over the water shot and then an underwater shot.
- 1:15:36Paul comes in to make sure everybody's OK everybody's
- 1:15:38great. Ennis confronts him about the
- 1:15:41reports. You know, Paul's playing dumb.
- 1:15:43She's like, you did this, this is your fault.
- 1:15:45You signed off on Paul's like, what are you talking about?
- 1:15:48Like he doesn't know that she saw the safety reports.
- 1:15:50Like he's all like, what the hell are you talking about?
- 1:15:53And she's like, I saw the reports.
- 1:15:54I saw the the safety reports. I saw your signature.
- 1:15:57That's when he was like, oh shit, you caught me.
- 1:16:00Yep. It's like, well, it's
- 1:16:01complicated. Audrey and Tommy again.
- 1:16:03Come in. What's going on?
- 1:16:04Paul doesn't want to talk about it with the kids.
- 1:16:06And this is Innis is like, no, we can tell them they should
- 1:16:10know about this since they're on here.
- 1:16:11And it starts explaining to them what happened and what Paul did.
- 1:16:15Paul's like, it's my job. And this is like, no, look
- 1:16:18around. You caused all this.
- 1:16:19People are dying because of you. Paul is tone deaf to that.
- 1:16:23And it's like, you know, well, I did it for you guys, right?
- 1:16:26Yeah, as as if. And this is going to be OK with
- 1:16:28that. Yeah.
- 1:16:29I mean, honestly, I'm. I'm surprised she wasn't like,
- 1:16:32oh, you did it for us. Oh, thank you, baby.
- 1:16:36You. You.
- 1:16:37Killed the entire town that I grew up in.
- 1:16:39Oh so sweet of you. I love you before now.
- 1:16:45So Ennis points out the fact that the Tom lost everything
- 1:16:49because of all this. Paul does the whole I had no
- 1:16:52choice and turning. Ennis turns towards him and very
- 1:16:55lightly punches him in the chest and says he did have a choice
- 1:16:59and he was just being selfish. She says that you're the monster
- 1:17:02here and she runs off. The kids are at this point
- 1:17:05looking at him in disappointment.
- 1:17:07He walks out with a sad clown expression.
- 1:17:10Like that's all I could think of.
- 1:17:10When he walked out he looked like like if you painted about.
- 1:17:12He looked like a sad clown. Yeah, and no sentimental music.
- 1:17:16No, no, none. Or or ominous either.
- 1:17:19Yeah, either way. Now again we see an underwater
- 1:17:22shot of the megalodon swimming around the rig, and it ends up
- 1:17:27swimming past the bomb and I. Don't the only thing about this
- 1:17:30shark on the inside, I guess they must have had really big
- 1:17:33spaces in between all the bars that are built underwater.
- 1:17:37So I'm like, how is this huge fucking shark getting in the
- 1:17:41middle of all the getting through these bars and
- 1:17:44underwear? Because if he had crushed the
- 1:17:46bars to get through, you would think that thing would just
- 1:17:48topple over. But I'm like, how is he getting
- 1:17:50inside there? I would think that would be the
- 1:17:51safest place to be as an underwater.
- 1:17:53Somehow he gets in there. It was some huge spaces.
- 1:17:55And you know, I didn't think about that until you just
- 1:17:58brought it up. I never thought about that.
- 1:18:00Like, you know, how did he get into all those spaces?
- 1:18:02Because again, it's a huge goddamn shark.
- 1:18:05Yeah, he's huge. It's probably like 10 times
- 1:18:08bigger than a great white. Oh yeah, at least humongous I
- 1:18:13could eat my house. So good.
- 1:18:17Point The one time I wasn't dumb in this movie, I redeemed
- 1:18:27myself. Right so as he's walking off he
- 1:18:30ends up going to like a power power thing that he fixed and he
- 1:18:34turns it on and the power turns on it's the auxiliary power, but
- 1:18:38he's got the power back on he ends up asking Charter if
- 1:18:41they're going to make it and Charter was like no.
- 1:18:44Paul starts giving his origin story saying the rig was
- 1:18:47beautiful when his first commissioned it was my first job
- 1:18:51the sheriff's and tequila again. He goes on talking about how it
- 1:18:54was a beautiful thing because they were able to build it
- 1:18:57outside of federal districts and they were able to ignore safety
- 1:19:01procedures and regulations. It was that's.
- 1:19:03Beautiful. Right.
- 1:19:05You know, and he's like, at first everything was fine and
- 1:19:08then we started curbing back the regulations and, and actually
- 1:19:12this is where all the shots of the pollution in the drowning
- 1:19:15bears. Oh yeah, this is where.
- 1:19:18That's right. You're right.
- 1:19:19This is where that is. And that whole thing is is
- 1:19:23coming into play. And it's towards the end of the
- 1:19:24movie, you know, he starts to explain that when it started to
- 1:19:29go bad, he wrote his report documenting all of the safety
- 1:19:33issues that he found. And he was called into the
- 1:19:35office. They asked him, you know, if if
- 1:19:38he enjoyed his job. He said yes.
- 1:19:41And they're like, well, you know, this report, we need some
- 1:19:43adjustments to it. If you're not willing to do it,
- 1:19:46we'll find somebody else who can.
- 1:19:48He's like, you know, it was insinuating that he fired.
- 1:19:51And he's like, so I told him that I would rewrite it with
- 1:19:53less negativity. And he's like, so at that point,
- 1:19:57I signed off on everything for years.
- 1:19:59And at this point, he's like sitting down and he's looking at
- 1:20:02the at the camera because at some point, I guess they left
- 1:20:05the camera down in the water because he's looking at the
- 1:20:08bomb. Well, he's looking at the 'cause
- 1:20:11it took me a second. I was like, why is there still?
- 1:20:14Why is it still at two hours and something?
- 1:20:16But it was just the recording from when he had gone down
- 1:20:18before. Yeah, yeah, 'cause he paused it
- 1:20:21and stopped it and. OK, so as he's looking at the
- 1:20:24bomb, he's like, I just played my part.
- 1:20:26He's like, I just didn't know it was this bad.
- 1:20:28He points to the screen on the bomb.
- 1:20:30He says this is the same type of bomb my company uses for
- 1:20:34demolition. He's like, I think they're using
- 1:20:36it to kill me. This is where Chado says, I knew
- 1:20:40who you were the first time I heard your name.
- 1:20:42Paul's a bit confused. And he's like, I just didn't
- 1:20:45know. They're trying to blow your ass
- 1:20:46up. And they have a little chuckle.
- 1:20:48He's seeing he starts going. Well, this is where the thing
- 1:20:52from earlier we were talking about why they set it for two
- 1:20:55weeks, because they knew he was coming there.
- 1:20:58They were going to send him there to be there within that
- 1:21:01two weeks. And that's also why they called
- 1:21:03him to say, hey, you need to hurry up and get out there to
- 1:21:05the rig because they knew they only had two hours left and they
- 1:21:07needed him to die. So yeah, that's that's why they
- 1:21:11did it for two weeks. So he starts putting everything
- 1:21:14together. He's like my signatures on the
- 1:21:15papers, then killing me. It's the perfect scapegoat.
- 1:21:18They wouldn't be able to interview me and all this other
- 1:21:20stuff. Chido starts explaining.
- 1:21:23That's given the speech that your belongings, your
- 1:21:25possessions, all of that, that doesn't make a man what what you
- 1:21:29do matters. Paul says.
- 1:21:30I need to make it right. And Chido walks off.
- 1:21:33Paul looks over his shoulder. He has a lot of epiphanies
- 1:21:36looking over his shoulder because he sees a label for a
- 1:21:39blowout valve and he gets inspiration.
- 1:21:43So now we're killing the 80s action movie prepare montage
- 1:21:47where he's gathering all his tools and his equipment and all
- 1:21:50like all the stuff, and at the same time Chado was trying to
- 1:21:54fix the radio. Tommy finds a folded up raft and
- 1:21:58Charles like that's all ripped up.
- 1:21:59Audrey ends up helping Tommy move it to a different location.
- 1:22:03Chado gets the radio working a little bit and he's yelling
- 1:22:06Mayday. The Nixon boat picks it up, but
- 1:22:08it blows out just as fast as he got it working.
- 1:22:12Anice comes in and asks what Aubrey and Tommy are doing.
- 1:22:15Everybody's way too damn curious as to what everybody else is
- 1:22:19doing. Just stop and look, they have a
- 1:22:23raft. What do you think they're going
- 1:22:24to do with a raft, right? And so Audrey tells her to go
- 1:22:28get the acetone and like, as if Innis knows where it is because
- 1:22:32she never showed it where it was, right?
- 1:22:35Innis ends up running right over to where the acetone was.
- 1:22:38Audrey says we need to use it to make patches for the for the
- 1:22:41raft. And this is where Audrey
- 1:22:43suddenly becomes a chemist, yes? You know, and, and this is where
- 1:22:46arts and crafts time come into play.
- 1:22:48Yeah. Because she is cutting up the
- 1:22:51life jackets that she found for patches, patchwork and to use
- 1:22:55the Styrofoam that's in there. And she uses the acetone to melt
- 1:22:59down the Styrofoam to make a adherent for the patches.
- 1:23:03Yeah. Genius MacGyver.
- 1:23:06No shit. Yeah, she totally MacGyver that
- 1:23:10shit. I was like damn.
- 1:23:11Right. What school is this girl going
- 1:23:13to? Exactly.
- 1:23:14And so now we see the idol on shore that we saw earlier where
- 1:23:18the stickers bar is AT. Yeah.
- 1:23:21And we see Chocalito praying to it.
- 1:23:23Not the chocolate bar, but the the idol.
- 1:23:28El Rey comes over and tells them, you know, let Tilak do its
- 1:23:31do his thing. And he looks down and he sees
- 1:23:34the Snickers bar. Very melty Snickers bar.
- 1:23:36Very melty. So obviously the whole reason
- 1:23:39why this thing's still going on is because Tilak didn't eat the
- 1:23:41Snickers bar. Right.
- 1:23:46Correct. And so we're back at the rig,
- 1:23:48and Paul comes into the cabin watching everybody patch the
- 1:23:51raft. He actually doesn't ask anybody
- 1:23:53what He doesn't ask them what they're doing this time.
- 1:23:56I guess he finally put two and two together, like he's becoming
- 1:23:58smart, right? And he looks at Chado fixing the
- 1:24:02radio and he walks over and he's like, how long have you been
- 1:24:05here? Like you've been here a long
- 1:24:07time and you're now just fixing the radio.
- 1:24:10He's like, what? He's like, you didn't want
- 1:24:12anybody out here. He's like, did did you want to
- 1:24:15go down with the rig? Yeah.
- 1:24:17Did you want to, like, destroy and go down with it?
- 1:24:19Chado says it was for his people.
- 1:24:21Like he pretty much knew that this was going to happen.
- 1:24:23This is what he was doing it for.
- 1:24:25Paul says I'll go seal the leak. He's like, I saw something that
- 1:24:29only, I didn't reference it earlier, but Chado had commented
- 1:24:34on his shirt and Paul's like, yeah, it's red.
- 1:24:37And he's like, no, it's burgundy.
- 1:24:38And so he ends up telling Chado in this spot, he's like, I saw
- 1:24:43something down there that only red shirts would know.
- 1:24:46And Chado looks at him and says burgundy.
- 1:24:48Again, a weak attempt at A at a humor piece.
- 1:24:53He says, you know, he saw something that he can use down
- 1:24:55there. And he says maybe I can appease
- 1:24:57the rain God if we can manually seal the valve.
- 1:25:00And he's like, then I can grab the bomb and and feed the the
- 1:25:03megalodon the bomb. And he says he'll get to the
- 1:25:07bell to protect him from the blast.
- 1:25:10Charles like it's in half. And he's like, yeah, Charles,
- 1:25:13like, then what he's like, then we'll have a bottle of tequila,
- 1:25:16Chardo says. No, Paul's like, the megalodon
- 1:25:18is there for me, and I know it. So now all of a sudden he's
- 1:25:22becoming accepting of the fact that the shark is here for him.
- 1:25:25Yeah, it's his fault that shark's there, right?
- 1:25:28And he tells Chardo to take his family to safety and take his
- 1:25:31bag. Then we hear a big crack of
- 1:25:34Thunder. Tommy calls up for Paul and asks
- 1:25:36if the raft will work. Audrey asks if he's OK.
- 1:25:39Paul says yes with a stupid smile on his face.
- 1:25:42He asks if they're all ready to get out of there.
- 1:25:45Audrey says yeah, they should pray, pray.
- 1:25:46Paul agrees, to Innis's shock. She's like, of all these years,
- 1:25:50I've always tried to believe in something, now is the time you
- 1:25:52do it. And it happens.
- 1:25:54Right, Paul agrees, to Innis's shock.
- 1:25:56Like, yeah, you're right, Try to lead some in in prayer and
- 1:26:00basically it's for safety. And the camera fades to
- 1:26:03underwater shot of the shark and again, swimming by the bomb.
- 1:26:08And Paul's ready to go to, to the water.
- 1:26:11And this is she's like, oh, now. And Paul's like, you know, he
- 1:26:14made mistakes and there's a bomb on the rig and explains the
- 1:26:17entire plan that he has. And this, you know, says the
- 1:26:19monster's down there. And Paul's like, you know,
- 1:26:22remember, that's not the monster.
- 1:26:24And she hugs him. And he says his mind is clear.
- 1:26:27As a crisis worker, I know what this means.
- 1:26:30Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
- 1:26:34They kiss and he ends up going down towards the the ladder
- 1:26:38where he's going to jump in and try it all tells him that two of
- 1:26:41the tanks are empty and this is when it's almost empty.
- 1:26:43It's the only one we got. He's like, well, I'll just have
- 1:26:45to make do Charles like, well, what happens if you run out of
- 1:26:48air? I was like, well then look after
- 1:26:50my family because you're family now, some little.
- 1:26:55Music. Nope.
- 1:26:59Paul was in this one more time because she's up on more on the
- 1:27:04rig and she smells love you and Paul looks at her and, you know,
- 1:27:09smiles. I love you back.
- 1:27:11And he jumps in the water as he's going down.
- 1:27:14It kind of looks like the the end scene of Terminator 2 when
- 1:27:19T2 was going down to the water. He's giving the kid the thumbs
- 1:27:23up. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:27:24That's kind of like what it looked like to me without the
- 1:27:27thumbs up, right. And he drops straight down and
- 1:27:32he drops like a safety belt or a weighted belt or something, but
- 1:27:36he drops a piece of equipment off of himself.
- 1:27:39Chido is gathering everybody and he like they're trying to get
- 1:27:42everything that they need from the cabin and he gets Toro
- 1:27:46throws him in a in a carrier and receipt Paul underwater swimming
- 1:27:51towards the bomb. It says that he has 6 minutes.
- 1:27:54And I got to say this bomb for digital bomb is really, really
- 1:28:00loud. It's clicking as if it's like an
- 1:28:03old time, like clock set up with that click break.
- 1:28:07Digital clocks, as far as I know, don't do that.
- 1:28:11Yeah, they don't make a whole lot of noise if.
- 1:28:12Any but this one did it must be a different model.
- 1:28:15Must be. So he gets near the bomb and he
- 1:28:18cuts it off the leg of the rig. He starts swimming towards the
- 1:28:22valve that he needs to close, and all he sees in front of him
- 1:28:25is murky oil water. He's not looking anywhere where
- 1:28:29he needs to be because the valve happens to be right behind him,
- 1:28:32and at first he's not looking that way.
- 1:28:34And this is where emotional creepy music thing happened,
- 1:28:39because it gets a little like, there's like 2 seconds of like,
- 1:28:44emotional music, Yeah. Where it says sentimental music
- 1:28:48plays. And then as soon as it starts,
- 1:28:51it switches to ominous music. Yeah, but sentimental music is
- 1:28:55still there, right And so. So when he was doing that,
- 1:28:59that's when he was closing the valve.
- 1:29:01The all the oil stops and everything is fine in that
- 1:29:05respect. He looks at the bell, he like
- 1:29:07the diving bell and he pushes off the beam that he was in the
- 1:29:10air. Shadow and family get in the
- 1:29:12raft and they start rowing away, leaving the rig and Paul behind.
- 1:29:16Paul is flame cutting the leg of the pipe and this gives the rig
- 1:29:21power and it also stops some of the oil.
- 1:29:26So again, I don't know how that works.
- 1:29:28I'm not a I'm not a oil rig specialist, so I don't know how
- 1:29:33cutting a pipe can stop oil and bring power to the system, but.
- 1:29:39It. Yeah, Yeah.
- 1:29:39You're not an oil riggiologist. Yes.
- 1:29:42No, Yeah, not at all. Not not even a little bit like I
- 1:29:44I never got that certificate. All of this stuff that happened
- 1:29:48right in here, I was like, did I miss something?
- 1:29:51Because because eventually when you get going, he ends up
- 1:29:54somewhere and I'm like, how do you end up here?
- 1:29:56Like what happened? Like because there was, because
- 1:29:58he also looks down at his waist at one point and there's
- 1:30:00something not there. And I'm like, what was supposed
- 1:30:02to be there? I don't know what's going on
- 1:30:04here. So I'm hoping you're telling me
- 1:30:06because I don't know what happened here.
- 1:30:09So as the rig gets the power and the oil stops, we have some
- 1:30:13creepy music playing and the shark starts coming towards him.
- 1:30:16He starts swimming up. Instead of going towards the
- 1:30:19bell he starts swimming up and one of the one of the metal
- 1:30:24cages, it looked like the support beams when it fell down
- 1:30:27and it created like a shark cage.
- 1:30:29So he gets up in there in the nick of time, right?
- 1:30:32And when he gets up there, he looks down at his oxygen tank
- 1:30:37and he sees that it's in the red.
- 1:30:38So that means, so that means he's got almost no oxygen left,
- 1:30:43right. This time real sentimental music
- 1:30:46starts playing, right? And he starts talking on the
- 1:30:49calm and he's talking like an asthmatic Batman.
- 1:30:52I'm Batman, right? And and so we started doing like
- 1:30:57a whole Bruce Willis Armageddon speech.
- 1:31:00Yeah. You know, like it's, it's his
- 1:31:02Doomsday speech. He's telling Chad, oh, he's oh,
- 1:31:04there's a gift in the bag for you.
- 1:31:06Make sure the right people get it.
- 1:31:08He's giving his final speech to everybody.
- 1:31:10And honestly, like with the speech going on, this is a long
- 1:31:14ass 6 minutes. Yeah, Oh yeah, it.
- 1:31:16Really is like from the time you saw the bomb for being 6 minutes
- 1:31:20and him giving his speech, it's already been 10 minutes, right?
- 1:31:27Movie time. Everybody's all sad about
- 1:31:29listening to his final words. A shark is swimming around him
- 1:31:32as he's giving his Gettysburg Address of emotion.
- 1:31:35He talks to Ennis last, saying he loves her.
- 1:31:38And Ennis knows what's going on. But he continues on with his
- 1:31:40death speech and it's just crying and says she loves them.
- 1:31:44Now we see that we're at 30 seconds of the six minute bomb
- 1:31:48that took 10 minutes to go through.
- 1:31:50Paul closes his eyes in the water.
- 1:31:53Because at this point I didn't understand because he was out of
- 1:31:56the, the metal cage at this point.
- 1:31:59But they didn't show him drop underneath.
- 1:32:01He just, he was still in there when he was giving his, you
- 1:32:03know, final eulogy. So he's out of the cage now.
- 1:32:08Paul closes his eyes as the megalodon slowly comes up
- 1:32:12underneath him. Paul closes his eyes and the
- 1:32:14shark comes up and gently takes him in the mouth.
- 1:32:17As soon as Paul is in the mouth, the bomb immediately blows up.
- 1:32:22The surface sees like everything going on, like the the blowback
- 1:32:26of the bomb up in the air. Tommy starts crying.
- 1:32:29Charles like, oh, he did it. That's like you think.
- 1:32:33Yeah. So we see another boat coming
- 1:32:36towards them. Other than the rig, there's
- 1:32:38nothing else out there but this one boat.
- 1:32:41This boat is going towards the rig and Charo sets off a flare
- 1:32:45gun. That's when the boat sees the
- 1:32:48other boat and. Fears towards when I was
- 1:32:51watching that part, I'm like, they can't see that boat,
- 1:32:53they're practically next to each other, how can they?
- 1:32:55Does he really need a flare to be seen?
- 1:32:57Wow. Right, you know, it made no
- 1:32:59sense. On that, no.
- 1:33:00The boat gets to the raft and it's El Rey and crew.
- 1:33:04Yeah, and. And Chuck Alito, right?
- 1:33:08Oh, Chuck, Alito, Chuck, Chuck Alito, Chuck Alito.
- 1:33:12So he's bringing everybody up on the boat and Tommy comes near
- 1:33:17him. He looks at Tommy and he dipped
- 1:33:19his head down to show him that his eye patch is on his head.
- 1:33:22This time. He's a lot friendlier.
- 1:33:24Like he's a lot happier now. He's super nice, like great guy.
- 1:33:27Like this is how like I would have imagined to him in the
- 1:33:29beginning. But at the same time, he
- 1:33:32probably knew who Paul was and was mad at.
- 1:33:34Him. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:33:35He's like tonight son, I'm going to take your mom home and fuck
- 1:33:37her like she's mine. I'm your new step daddy, son.
- 1:33:42Yeah. He knew what was going on.
- 1:33:48Yeah, they help him on the boat and everybody's on there and
- 1:33:51they start like going off, but they stopped in for a minute and
- 1:33:54they look back and the rig starts falling piece by piece
- 1:33:57into the ocean and they're just watching this whole thing
- 1:34:00happened. Yes.
- 1:34:01And now, isn't that just going to be a huge oil leak now?
- 1:34:04You would think, you would think yes, but apparently because he
- 1:34:07sealed it, it's OK I guess. That's great, so the lock is
- 1:34:14really going to be pissed now. Yeah, exactly.
- 1:34:16You know, and so at this point, everybody's they, they see the
- 1:34:22water, they see that the the rig is gone and everybody's sitting
- 1:34:27down and relief. Everybody seems a bit more OK
- 1:34:29than they should be because, I mean, they just lost their dad.
- 1:34:33You know. Well, you know this is how it
- 1:34:35goes. They cry for 5 minutes and then
- 1:34:37everybody fine. Well, that's true and this is
- 1:34:39like, you know, everything will be fine, okay, you know all
- 1:34:42right, you know if. You say?
- 1:34:45So we've got life insurance. We're good.
- 1:34:50Tommy looks down at his necklace and that Junior gave him, and he
- 1:34:53puts it in the water and floats down.
- 1:34:55And it looked like they were trying to do like some sort of
- 1:34:573D thing with it where the CGI looked like it looked like it
- 1:35:01was trying to do like some sort of 3D image.
- 1:35:03And so they go off into the ocean as it starts to rain.
- 1:35:07And we see the wooden boat in the in the water just floating
- 1:35:11by. And then all of a sudden, it's
- 1:35:14pulled under the water violently.
- 1:35:16Yeah. And.
- 1:35:17How? Somehow I don't know if it
- 1:35:20'cause it's just that little tiny wooden boat, so, and it's,
- 1:35:23and it's like, how does it get pulled down?
- 1:35:25Who pulls it down 'cause if the shark, the megalodon, that's
- 1:35:28huge, you would see some part of that fucking shark, right?
- 1:35:32Pulling it down. So yeah, it was pretty ominous.
- 1:35:34I don't know if there's gonna be another black demon. 2 black
- 1:35:36demons. I mean, apparently they very
- 1:35:39well. I mean look at Jaws, you know,
- 1:35:40they had great success with Jaws with the first one and the
- 1:35:43second one they added a second one.
- 1:35:45Yeah, there was 2 Jaws. There was 2 Jaws.
- 1:35:48Yeah, Jaws eye. All right, well, that's the end
- 1:35:58of that movie. And it was this is, you know, I
- 1:36:04I do love a good cheesy shark movie like I was talking last
- 1:36:09week, but this is not a cheesy shark movie.
- 1:36:11This was trying to be a serious shark movie.
- 1:36:13It was. And I didn't enjoy the only
- 1:36:17serious shark movie I think I've ever liked is Jaws.
- 1:36:21I did like Deep Blue Sea, which is there's some comedic parts to
- 1:36:24Deep Blue Sea and it has LL Cool J who is like fucking hot so.
- 1:36:30Anyhow, similar L fucking Jackson, yeah, can never go
- 1:36:33wrong with. Him no, but that's a that's a
- 1:36:35semi serious, I guess shark movie, which I'm OK with most of
- 1:36:40the shark movies are so cheesy because I mean like again, what
- 1:36:42what more can you do for the shark movie?
- 1:36:44Right. This one, it was just, I don't
- 1:36:47know if it was taking itself too seriously.
- 1:36:48I don't know what it was, but it just, if it had been cheesy, I
- 1:36:51would have liked it more than what I I liked it.
- 1:36:55But I of course, again, I didn't like the acting by Josh Lucas.
- 1:36:59Everybody else was fine, but he was horrible in this movie,
- 1:37:02absolutely awful. And he's and I don't think he, I
- 1:37:04don't consider him a bad actor. I've seen other things I've
- 1:37:06liked him in so it's just not his genre.
- 1:37:08I mean, sometimes, sometimes actors just get the wrong movie
- 1:37:12and it just doesn't, just doesn't play well.
- 1:37:14Yeah, and this shark movie actually didn't, honestly, it
- 1:37:17didn't have a whole lot of shark in it like.
- 1:37:20It just had a lot of reused footage.
- 1:37:22Yeah, and I mean, you get glimpses of shark every once in
- 1:37:25a while, but you really didn't see a whole lot of the shark
- 1:37:28except for when it jumped out the water and chomped that boat
- 1:37:31in half. Right and.
- 1:37:33Didn't see a whole lot of shark action.
- 1:37:35There's only like 4 times that you saw it.
- 1:37:38Yeah, when he jumped out of the water, that time when he came up
- 1:37:42to get Paul, when it was coming up to get Audrey.
- 1:37:46You saw him briefly. And then I think there was like
- 1:37:49one other time. I think it was like when it was
- 1:37:52coming up to try to get, no, not Junior Tommy when he was putting
- 1:37:57the wood boat in originally. I think that's the only other
- 1:37:59time. Yeah, it just didn't really.
- 1:38:02They didn't show him much. You know, and and I say like you
- 1:38:06a long time ago, how you said that it's hard to judge shark
- 1:38:09movies when you have Jaws because you always feel like
- 1:38:12that. You're comparing it to that.
- 1:38:14Yeah. And with Jaws, you only saw the
- 1:38:17shark fin until the end. Yeah.
- 1:38:19You didn't see the shark until the end.
- 1:38:21You just saw what it may have done.
- 1:38:23You know, you saw the remnants of it, but you never actually
- 1:38:26saw the shark until the. Yeah.
- 1:38:27It just made it so good, yeah. And I think some some movies try
- 1:38:32to mimic that, but they try to add the shark in a little bit
- 1:38:36more and kind of takes it away. Yeah, and I also think I'm a
- 1:38:40little jaded by the cheesier shark movies because they do
- 1:38:43show a lot of shark. Yeah, I like to see a lot of
- 1:38:45shark. Show me.
- 1:38:46Some show me some scaff. Going back to that shark porn,
- 1:38:52Yeah, show me that shark baby. So yeah, I mean, this is not,
- 1:39:00I'm pretty sure I've seen this movie before, cuz it was like
- 1:39:05when you wake up in the morning after you've had a pretty vivid
- 1:39:07dream that you can remember, but by the end of the day you only
- 1:39:10have an essence of it. So you don't really remember the
- 1:39:12details anymore. This is what it was like.
- 1:39:14I was like, I remembered some of the essence of this movie, but I
- 1:39:18don't remember all the details or even who was in it or
- 1:39:20anything like that. I have a couple movies like
- 1:39:23that. Yeah, so obviously it didn't
- 1:39:25mean a whole lot to me the first time I saw it either, so, but
- 1:39:28I'd have to say. Oh, and also just talking about
- 1:39:30the size of that shark, when he ate Paul, he literally just went
- 1:39:34right up under Paul and Paul just went right into him.
- 1:39:37He didn't even have to bite him, he was that big.
- 1:39:40Just open his mouth. Yeah, just open his mouth and
- 1:39:43Paul just went right in there. Paul.
- 1:39:44Paul was probably still alive inside the belly of the shark
- 1:39:48when he blew up. He blew up from the bomb, not
- 1:39:51from being eaten by the shark. He was that big and somehow was
- 1:39:54able to get inside those things. It's under the rig.
- 1:39:56I don't know, but I'd have to say maybe AI don't know, maybe a
- 1:40:01two. I just wasn't overly impressed
- 1:40:04with it. It wasn't, in fact, in the
- 1:40:06beginning of the movie, like there were parts where I'd just
- 1:40:08get on my phone and like do whatever, you know.
- 1:40:11So there were some things I think I missed.
- 1:40:13Because I was on my phone a little bit here and there
- 1:40:15because I was just like bored and just wasn't into it at all.
- 1:40:18So but I mean, all the other actors besides Josh Lucas were
- 1:40:21good. I mean, I get the idea of the
- 1:40:23movie because it was really more of a, you know, look at what
- 1:40:26we've done to the Earth kind of movie, an environmentalist
- 1:40:30movie. So I got that.
- 1:40:31I get what they were doing there, but it just, I don't
- 1:40:34know. I wasn't, it wasn't scary.
- 1:40:36There were no scary shark moments.
- 1:40:38There was, it was just so yeah, a big old $0.02 for.
- 1:40:44Me so I play off you a little bit when it comes to saying that
- 1:40:47it really wasn't scary at all. Part of that could be because
- 1:40:50I've seen so many damn, like you, I've seen so many damn
- 1:40:54horror movies that it's hard to, you know, be jump scared or to
- 1:40:59be scared about something in the movie because they use similar
- 1:41:01tropes. But overall, I mean, it
- 1:41:04definitely had its flaws. I did try watching this a while
- 1:41:08ago and I'm not sure why I stopped it, but I end up
- 1:41:11stopping it and I never went back to it.
- 1:41:13And that was probably when it first hit streaming because it
- 1:41:17looked good. And so I tried it and I think
- 1:41:21maybe because I thought the whole thing was going to be
- 1:41:23subtitled and I didn't at that time bothered to check.
- 1:41:27And you know, I have to be like in the mood to sit down and
- 1:41:31watch a movie if I'm going to watch in subtitles.
- 1:41:33And so I think that's why I may have shut it off was because I
- 1:41:36thought that was going to be like that way and I never went
- 1:41:39back to it. So I forgot about that when I
- 1:41:43suggested this one. And once I got past that first
- 1:41:48scene, because again, like you, I was checking to see if like
- 1:41:52subtitles were on or if the OR if the dubbing was correct and
- 1:41:56what not. But then it turned out it was
- 1:41:58just how the movie was in the beginning.
- 1:42:00You know, despite some of the things, I mean, you, you brought
- 1:42:03to light some things that I didn't think of, you know, like
- 1:42:06the shark in the in the water with all the the bars, like
- 1:42:09how's he getting through it all? You know, because again, he was
- 1:42:12a demon shark, but at the same time they were making him a
- 1:42:15physical entity. Yeah.
- 1:42:16So it wasn't like he was like supernatural in the sense that
- 1:42:19he could go through bars and he can go through like these things
- 1:42:23are like he disappears at the drop of a you know, she was
- 1:42:26supposed to be like a real empirical thing.
- 1:42:28And then, you know, us discussing the guys on the dock,
- 1:42:31you know, that, you know, maybe that was their way of getting
- 1:42:34the rest of the family out there and and what not.
- 1:42:37So, I mean, there's a few things I didn't think of when when I
- 1:42:40was watching it. I just realized something, yeah.
- 1:42:44When I said that I meant for writing purposes, I meant for
- 1:42:48like the writer. Like in order to get the family
- 1:42:51to get out on the rig, they had to find a way to get them there.
- 1:42:54And so having them being chased by these guys that we never see
- 1:42:58again is just the way to get them.
- 1:43:00Not because those guys wanted them out on the rig.
- 1:43:02I just realized that that's what you thought I meant.
- 1:43:04OK, yeah, that's what I thought you meant.
- 1:43:06Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just meant for writing.
- 1:43:07Purposes. Thanks for ruining that for me.
- 1:43:17But this, this is 1 where if was on in the background, you know,
- 1:43:22I wouldn't, I wouldn't necessarily shut it off if I had
- 1:43:24nothing else to watch, you know, it'd be background noise, like
- 1:43:28if I'm playing, you know, on my phone or, you know, playing
- 1:43:31together a Lego set or, or whatever, you know, so I
- 1:43:35wouldn't necessarily turn it off.
- 1:43:37I mean, it definitely had its flaws, but I didn't think they
- 1:43:41detracted too much for me. I'd probably give it $0.05.
- 1:43:47Like I, I definitely wouldn't go too high with it because it, you
- 1:43:51know, much higher would be too generous because of like just
- 1:43:54some of the plot holes and how they came to be on the certain
- 1:43:58things. And it was just, some of it was
- 1:44:01just a little too far fetched, but I didn't think it was
- 1:44:04terrible. So $0.05.
- 1:44:06All right. Is that all?
- 1:44:08Do you have anything else to add?
- 1:44:10We can put a sock. On it.
- 1:44:12All right, let's put the sock on it.
- 1:44:14And that was The Black Demon, a movie where you think you're
- 1:44:17signing up for shark mayhem, but what you're really getting is a
- 1:44:20lecture on corporate greed with a side of human chum.
- 1:44:24Next week, we'll stay deep underwater but switch things up
- 1:44:26with the Leviathan, A cult classic from the late 80s where
- 1:44:29deep sea miners discover that the only thing more dangerous in
- 1:44:32the ocean floor is what's waiting to crawl out of it.
- 1:44:35And the best part? You can stream it for free on
- 1:44:37Tubi and Pluto. Until then, remember, be scared,
- 1:44:41be prepared. And if you see a giant shark
- 1:44:43circling your rig, maybe just call it a day and let nature
- 1:44:46win.
