• 0:20
  the absurd and all of our favorites.
• 0:21
  And least. Favorite scary movies?
• 0:23
  Because we believe every horror movie rifely has is fanbase
• 0:25
  even. If we don't, I always get it.
• 0:27
  My name's Travis. My name's Jesse.
• 0:28
  And welcome everybody, we are doing our Patreon voted episode
• 0:32
  this week on the show and we asked you guys, you guys told us
• 0:36
  you want us to talk about sinners so.
• 0:38
  It was actually a tie and Talia was the tiebreaker.
• 0:41
  That's true, I forgot about that.
• 0:42
  I want everybody to know because I was really proud of the
• 0:45
  tiebreaker I came up with because it was between us or
• 0:47
  heretic. Yeah.
• 0:48
  So Talia had. We threw her toys.
• 0:51
  Same time, same distance, same location, there was the bottle
• 0:55
  of Maker's bark, representing sinners.
• 0:58
  Which is bourbon. And there was the Pappuccino
• 1:02
  representing heretic. Yeah, which is, you know,
• 1:04
  caffeine for the Mormons and bourbon for the sinners.
• 1:07
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. And we did.
• 1:10
  Yeah. Well, she obviously went for the
• 1:11
  bourbon because she's from Kentucky, so.
• 1:13
  Yeah, she's a she's a true Kentucky girl.
• 1:16
  That's true. So yeah, here we are talking
• 1:17
  about sinners this week. But before we get into the nitty
• 1:22
  gritty of it all, do you have anything you need to announce?
• 1:25
  We did To Be or Not to Be. This past weekend we talked
• 1:27
  about Talent Falls, a movie in Kentucky.
• 1:30
  Yep, Yeah. For Kentuckians about a scare,
• 1:36
  scare haunt attraction. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:38
  It's a fun little time. I think we had a good time on
• 1:41
  that one. If you are interested, go check
• 1:43
  it out. Yeah.
• 1:45
  It we got weird. There's just like weird, good
• 1:47
  weird. Yeah, it was kind of weird.
• 1:49
  It was fun. I had a good time with it.
• 1:50
  Yeah. So yeah, go check that out.
• 1:52
  It was our two year not to be so most recent episode before this
• 1:55
  one. Yeah.
• 1:56
  And if anybody wants to invest in our hospital hibachi idea,
• 2:00
  just let. Us know we're open to investors.
• 2:03
  Yeah, we're taking offers. That's right, it's already
• 2:05
  publicly traded. Yeah, I already had its IPO.
• 2:08
  Exactly. So we didn't do a poll.
• 2:11
  We forgot to do a poll for last week's movie, which was Vacancy.
• 2:17
  So Vacancy, sorry, I forgot what it was called for a second
• 2:20
  there. But yeah, we we didn't do one.
• 2:22
  I apologize for that. But it's OK.
• 2:25
  We got centers here. We got a lot of stuff to get
• 2:27
  into. So that's more time to talk
• 2:29
  about the movie at hand, which I suppose it's time for us to get
• 2:33
  into now. I am very excited to talk about
• 2:35
  this. Maybe please give me some
• 2:36
  background information and then we will share opinions.
• 2:39
  OK, well, since you asked so nicely, I'll go ahead and get
• 2:41
  into it. So Sooner is released April
• 2:44
  18th, 2025. We watched it on HBO, which is
• 2:48
  the only place you can watch it if you want to stream it on a
• 2:51
  streaming service. But if you would rather rent it,
• 2:54
  you can rent it on Amazon, Apple TV or Fandango at home.
• 2:57
  OK. Written and directed by Ryan
• 3:00
  Coogler, music by Ludwig Gorenson, and special effects
• 3:04
  make up by a lot of fucking people and I will get into that
• 3:08
  here in a little bit. I.
• 3:09
  Think they had to do quite a bit.
• 3:10
  Yeah, starring Miles Cadden as Sammy, Michael B Jordan as Smoke
• 3:15
  and Stack, Jack O'Connell as Remic, Hailee Steinfeld as Mary
• 3:20
  Delroy, Lindo as Delta Slim, Wunmi Masaka as Annie, Omar
• 3:26
  Benson Miller as Cornbread, Jamie Lawson as Pearlene, Yao as
• 3:30
  Bo. Just they didn't get a last name
• 3:33
  for it. It's just Yao.
• 3:34
  Legion Lee as Grace Peter, dramas as Bert and Lola, Kirk as
• 3:39
  Joan, Jesse. Time for our favorite game on
• 3:42
  the show. Budget or budget I feel.
• 3:46
  Like this is budget. Oh God, yes, this is budget.
• 3:50
  This may be one of the biggest budgets we've had on this.
• 3:53
  It was $90 million. Wow, I was going to say we've
• 3:57
  had Shyamalan, but yeah, Dang, 90 million. 90 million for now,
• 4:03
  it went up to 100 million allegedly.
• 4:07
  So this is a triple figure budget right here for that.
• 4:11
  They're actually more than triple figure.
• 4:12
  Obviously it's $100 million opening box office 48 million
• 4:19
  worldwide gross 366 million IMDb scores 7.6.
• 4:24
  OK. Really, really solid.
• 4:27
  So I have a theme and I am excited for this one because
• 4:31
  it's 2025 movies, obviously, and I've wanted to do this for a
• 4:36
  long time. And I finally have a haiku.
• 4:39
  Oh my. God, I'm so happy.
• 4:41
  That's right. So I'm going to go ahead and
• 4:43
  just read all three movies at once and then I'll get the
• 4:45
  details for them individually. But here's the haiku, and I feel
• 4:48
  like it actually is appropriate. Home sweet Home Rebirth, my
• 4:52
  daughter is a zombie Garden of Eden.
• 5:00
  Thank you for the snap. So it doesn't feel appropriate
• 5:02
  for them. OK, And I put it through a
• 5:06
  fucking checker. OK.
• 5:07
  That was 575 right there. Good job.
• 5:10
  Thank you. Thank you. 17 syllables.
• 5:12
  You have made your own dream come true.
• 5:14
  Thank you. Thank you.
• 5:15
  I've worked every single time I try and do three years.
• 5:18
  Yes, we got 2025 given it's. Your year, everything's coming
• 5:24
  up Mill House. That's right.
• 5:26
  So movie #1 Home Sweet Home Rebirth that released May 8th
• 5:31
  2025 don't have the budgets. The worldwide gross was
• 5:35
  $245,000. IMDb score 4.3.
• 5:40
  I don't know anything about these movies by.
• 5:41
  The way anything about it, me neither.
• 5:43
  You. Were just looking at the
• 5:44
  syllables. That's all I needed.
• 5:46
  It took a couple. I almost worked Final
• 5:48
  Destination in there. Almost.
• 5:50
  It didn't happen, unfortunately. It was 8 syllables.
• 5:53
  Yeah, I was just sitting here counting it.
• 5:54
  Yeah. 2nd movie My Daughter is a Zombie that released July 30th
• 6:00
  2025. Don't have budget but MA $37
• 6:03
  million. It's a Korean movie, that's
• 6:06
  probably why we're less familiar with it, but it's a 7 out of 10
• 6:09
  on IMDb so it apparently did pretty well.
• 6:12
  OK Final movie Garden of Eden released June 20th 2025.
• 6:16
  Don't have any financials and the IMDb is a 4.6 all right tag
• 6:26
  lines the. We.
• 6:28
  Have multiple? We do.
• 6:29
  We have three. The one on the poster probably
• 6:31
  my favorite. Dance with the devil.
• 6:34
  Yeah, I mean under the pale moonlight even.
• 6:38
  Perhaps. Yeah, Dark, dark there.
• 6:40
  It's dark, dark. It was dark, dark during the
• 6:44
  survey. It was.
• 6:45
  It was night time. That was when vampires come.
• 6:47
  Out you need to know about Dark Dark.
• 6:48
  Go listen to R2V or not to be episode.
• 6:50
  OK, well, let us know when you think dark Dark occurs, yeah.
• 6:54
  Second one, we are all sinners. Yeah, it's OK.
• 6:58
  Final one, it's going to be a real ring.
• 7:00
  A Ding, Ding. Ring a Ding Ding.
• 7:04
  Ring a Ding Ding. I don't that feels like one of
• 7:07
  the dumb ones that we would have made.
• 7:08
  On yeah it it feels like a joke 1 I don't understand or a penny
• 7:11
  one. Not a joke one, but.
• 7:13
  They chose the the best one for sure for the Yeah dance with the
• 7:16
  Devil. That's by far the best one.
• 7:18
  They have him. OK, so let's do some fun facts.
• 7:21
  OK, so sinners, there was a bidding war for this movie
• 7:26
  whenever it was originally pitched back in 2024.
• 7:31
  It was between Sony, Warner Bros and Universal Pictures.
• 7:34
  One of Ryan Coogler's requests was for first dollar gross final
• 7:40
  cut privilege and he wanted to have ownership of the film 25
• 7:44
  years after the release. The only studio that was willing
• 7:48
  to go with these these demands was Warner Bros.
• 7:51
  So that's why Warner Bros got the movie OK.
• 7:53
  Which I think that's cool. The fact that he'll get to own
• 7:56
  the full movie after 25. Years.
• 7:58
  I'm glad he took ownership. He made that part of his
• 8:00
  contract. Yeah, and final cut privilege,
• 8:02
  that's like a big deal you. Know that way.
• 8:04
  You like, were you getting the director's cut?
• 8:06
  Yes, instead of the studio coming in and being like, but
• 8:10
  people like this better because Can you imagine what Warner Bros
• 8:13
  might have decided would be a better ending to this?
• 8:16
  Yeah, exactly. This one right there.
• 8:17
  I think that this movie, like, let the creative do their thing,
• 8:21
  you know, like they knew what they were doing here.
• 8:24
  This is weird. Machine Gun Kelly was originally
• 8:27
  offered the chance to audition for Bert.
• 8:29
  You know, the the white supremacist that gets turned
• 8:32
  into a a vampire by Remic. Yeah.
• 8:36
  However, he declined because he was not comfortable using slurs.
• 8:41
  I get that. Yeah, that's another.
• 8:43
  That's the thing I think about with people in period pieces
• 8:45
  like this or just like if you are playing a racist character,
• 8:48
  like, I don't know. I don't know if I would feel
• 8:51
  comfortable doing anything like that either honestly.
• 8:53
  I I understand that it's realistic to the character in
• 8:56
  the time, but I don't I, I don't think I could get myself to say
• 9:00
  that. I just feel like after every
• 9:01
  single take out I'd have to go sorry sorry.
• 9:04
  You know, like I I had that we had this discussion on a set
• 9:09
  that I was an extra for cuz one of the actors didn't want to say
• 9:12
  pussy. Like she just didn't feel good
• 9:13
  about it. And I was like, what do you say?
• 9:15
  Like lightweight instead, because it's souls like getting
• 9:18
  the gist of what you're going for.
• 9:20
  But you don't have to say pussy. I remember you.
• 9:22
  Yeah. And they're like good like that.
• 9:25
  Like that change. Yeah, that's a good.
• 9:26
  Suggestion. Yeah, so the movie had the
• 9:29
  working title of Grilled Cheese. It included 691 background
• 9:35
  actors, 64 shot dates in eight cities that it filmed in.
• 9:40
  Dang, yeah, it was a fucking beast.
• 9:41
  What a working title too to throw people off of it.
• 9:44
  I like that. I wonder if there was any
• 9:45
  thought behind that, like if is there a connection to grilled
• 9:48
  cheese and this right here. I don't know.
• 9:51
  I don't know. So the production designer,
• 9:55
  Hannah Beachworder, she admitted that she designed the crossbeams
• 10:00
  in the church to do the Wakanda Forever gesture.
• 10:03
  Yeah. Because Ryan Kuhler directed
• 10:06
  Black Panther. Yeah, that's cool.
• 10:08
  So Speaking of before, like I was saying the special effects
• 10:10
  companies, this movie had 7 special effects companies doing
• 10:14
  its bidding. Well, if you've got 691 extras.
• 10:17
  Yeah, so let's list them all here.
• 10:19
  We had Industrial Light and Magic Storm Studios, Rising Sun
• 10:23
  Pictures, base effects, Baraboom Studios, a lot of video effects
• 10:28
  and Outpost video effects. OK, so some of that was video
• 10:32
  effects? Yeah, it was just a lot of shit.
• 10:35
  And I actually came across an interview with two people, James
• 10:40
  Alexander and Michael Rowell. They were, I guess, probably 2
• 10:43
  of the more prominent people doing the effects.
• 10:46
  And they work specifically on the twin shots of Michael B
• 10:50
  Jordan because he plays 2 characters and they share a lot
• 10:53
  of screen time together. So that's a.
• 10:54
  Lot of managing to do and I've got quotes on how they handled
• 10:58
  doing all that because I'm sure a lot of people, myself
• 11:01
  included, were curious of how they pulled it off so
• 11:05
  seamlessly. So they came with the approach.
• 11:08
  They wanted to give Ryan control and freedom to shoot the movie
• 11:11
  however he wanted to that way like as if there were no visual
• 11:14
  effects involved. So if he wanted the 2 characters
• 11:17
  to interact in any way, they didn't want him to have to like
• 11:20
  think about any of that. Just go ahead and make the movie
• 11:22
  you want to make and we'll make it work.
• 11:23
  However, OK. The way that they did that, they
• 11:26
  created what they called a decision matrix, which is they
• 11:29
  say a geeky way of saying a list to say if we got 2 twin faces on
• 11:34
  screen at the same time, that we need to figure out a way to
• 11:36
  achieve achieve that. And wherever possible, we could
• 11:39
  film Michael B Jordan twice. So the simplest version of that
• 11:41
  would be you've got a camera that doesn't move and so you
• 11:45
  film a person and AB side performance and then you can put
• 11:50
  them together. Then it becomes more complex
• 11:52
  when you have a moving camera, so you need to repeat a camera
• 11:54
  move. For those instances, we use a
• 11:57
  tool called a techno Dolly, which is a crane, Unwield says.
• 12:00
  Able to just have like preprogrammed movements so that
• 12:03
  way everything still tracks the same Once its winds are crossing
• 12:07
  or having like instances where they were actually interacting,
• 12:10
  touching or feeling, then the play approaches become more
• 12:14
  difficult. And that's when they would look,
• 12:16
  they would do digital face replacements for which they had
• 12:19
  this Halo rig that they built just for this.
• 12:22
  They call it bespoke piece of technology they designed to that
• 12:25
  allow them to capture Michael B Jordan's performance in specific
• 12:29
  lighting settings per scene and built a data set from which they
• 12:32
  were able to create a digital face to make sure they captured
• 12:35
  his performance and were able to create the twinning effect that
• 12:38
  way. Yeah.
• 12:39
  Yeah. So there's like, a lot of
• 12:41
  thought and a lot of shit that got into that.
• 12:43
  Apparently it took a lot of mistakes, like they they failed
• 12:48
  a lot of times and they ended up having to do a lot of digital
• 12:52
  fuckery to make it all actually look right in the end.
• 12:55
  But, yeah, the fact that they have so much interaction in this
• 12:59
  movie and they were able to make it feel seamless was impressive.
• 13:02
  Yeah. So give them a round of applause
• 13:04
  for that. Or snaps.
• 13:06
  Here we go. Some of the wardrobe from the
• 13:09
  movie was going to originally be for the planned Blade film that
• 13:12
  was going to be made by Marvel. They had parts of that set
• 13:15
  during the same time period. And that film ended up stalling.
• 13:19
  So when it was stalled, Ryan Coogler recruited Ruth E Carter,
• 13:23
  who was the wardrobe person for that movie.
• 13:26
  And. Interesting.
• 13:27
  Yeah. They're like, hey, like, I can
• 13:28
  go ahead and use these pieces for that.
• 13:31
  And they cleared it with Marvel and everything was fine.
• 13:34
  Score was done by Gorson and his wife, who is a classically
• 13:38
  trained violinist. Oh cool.
• 13:41
  He used a 1932 Dobro Cyclops resonator guitar, which is the
• 13:45
  exact same guitar that Sammy plays in this movie here, so
• 13:49
  it's actually authentic. They consulted Blues producer
• 13:54
  Beau or Lawrence Beau Mitchell, and they did things such as
• 13:57
  visit the B.B. King Museum, went to local Juke
• 14:00
  joints in Clarksdale and Indianola for inspiration, and
• 14:05
  eventually, Speaking of Clarksdale, this movie did get
• 14:08
  its premiere there. Good.
• 14:10
  The thing is, though, that that town does not have a movie
• 14:13
  theater. Oh yeah?
• 14:14
  How'd they do that? So they they happened in May
• 14:18
  eventually, and they used the Civic Auditorium and the
• 14:22
  screening actually had Coogler and a bunch of the cast and crew
• 14:25
  show up and like do introductions and everything and
• 14:27
  actually, you know, meet with the people.
• 14:29
  And yeah, just kind of, I thought that that was really
• 14:32
  nice because I remember seeing people talk about that that and
• 14:34
  wanted to like they wanted to see it where it was set.
• 14:37
  And I can only imagine how cool that would be.
• 14:40
  So yeah, I'm happy for them that they pulled it off.
• 14:43
  And that's it for my phone packs for this movie.
• 14:45
  OK, so let's get into the good, bad, ugly and absurd.
• 14:49
  Jesse, you kick it off. What'd?
• 14:52
  You like man so much about this. This movie is just you get so
• 14:57
  immersed in this world and I think it does like it's three
• 15:02
  acts very clearly, very neatly, and each of them is a different
• 15:05
  kind of emotional ride. Like the whole first act is just
• 15:08
  them going around town, getting set up for their jukes open at
• 15:11
  night. And I I want to ride around with
• 15:14
  him all day. You know what I mean it.
• 15:16
  Was it was like engrossing to like, actually watch all that?
• 15:18
  And that really says something to the to the powerhouse acting
• 15:23
  in this cast. And I thought it was interesting
• 15:25
  what you said about them shooting Michael B Jordan so
• 15:28
  many different ways and having to do, like, a lot of things to
• 15:30
  make it look, you know, like, yeah, he does such good little.
• 15:35
  Just minor changes between Smoke and Stack where you get the
• 15:40
  sense of them being twins, but also they're their own people.
• 15:42
  There was a thing that they were mentioning, I didn't read the
• 15:45
  thing on this, but like there's 2 character distinctions between
• 15:49
  the two of them. Smoke.
• 15:50
  He's a smoker but he's got like uneasy hands.
• 15:53
  He can't roll his own cigarettes, so Stack has to roll
• 15:55
  them for him. That's why in the opening you
• 15:57
  see him like actually passing the cigarette.
• 15:59
  They said that that was gonna be like the tip hole shot to like
• 16:01
  establish the 2 characters and their ability to like be on
• 16:04
  screen together. And yeah like the way that they
• 16:08
  did that. They did like AADR rig thing
• 16:11
  where like they would get 3 beeps when like he would get 3
• 16:14
  beeps like when he needed to make like that connection to
• 16:16
  like pass something over. Yeah.
• 16:18
  And then they like use like a little marker or something like
• 16:20
  that for him to like actually have something physical to like,
• 16:23
  you know, where to have the placements of.
• 16:26
  That's cool. That's really cool.
• 16:29
  Yeah. I just in the storytelling that
• 16:31
  is viewing, there's so much to unpack with it.
• 16:37
  And I don't know that we can do like full justice to everything
• 16:39
  that's going on. I'm going to talk about the
• 16:41
  things that I know more of and can talk more easily about,
• 16:46
  which is the importance of music to like your culture and what it
• 16:50
  brings out into you and what it means to you and how it ties
• 16:52
  people together. And how even in that same
• 16:54
  culture, you have the different subcultures of the different
• 16:56
  types of like, because you can break up Blues into different
• 16:58
  types of Blues, you know, and that scene where they're playing
• 17:04
  and it lists that veil, you know, like Annie says at the
• 17:07
  beginning, lists the veil between the living and the dead,
• 17:09
  the past and the future. That is my favorite sequence of
• 17:15
  the year, if not one of my top favorites of all time.
• 17:17
  Yeah, that was a really cool moment.
• 17:20
  And I've watched it multiple times since then.
• 17:22
  Oh yeah. Have you just like played that
• 17:23
  clip to? Yourself, I've just played that
• 17:25
  clip to myself because it's just so.
• 17:27
  It is so powerful and you feel how important this music is to
• 17:33
  everybody that's in the room and you feel why it is such a draw
• 17:36
  for Sammy and why that's what he wants to live for.
• 17:41
  And I just, it's so, so powerful and seeing how it's bringing
• 17:46
  this group together in a place where they can just be together
• 17:51
  in a world that is not set up for them.
• 17:56
  And we talk so much about like we talk so much about how the
• 18:03
  system is rigged against people of color in this movie because
• 18:07
  they come out, you know, we've got we got Smoking Stack who
• 18:11
  fought in World War One. You know, they did that honor to
• 18:16
  their country, but they're still treated as lesser than because
• 18:19
  they're black. You've got all of these folks
• 18:21
  who are coming out to the Juke joint.
• 18:23
  They just want to have a good time.
• 18:24
  They want to enjoy music. They want to be with their
• 18:27
  people. And Smoking Stack can't keep the
• 18:30
  Juke joint running because most of these people only have the
• 18:33
  plantation tokens to pay with, which works on the plantation
• 18:40
  because it's a system that's set and designed to keep them there.
• 18:42
  And there's just so many little things there.
• 18:44
  And I think there's such an interesting parallel to to Remic
• 18:50
  trying to draw people in saying like, you want to have this
• 18:54
  love, this connection, this tie to your past and future, and
• 18:57
  we're all going to be together and we're all going to support
• 18:59
  you. And I think it's so similar to
• 19:01
  what you hear stories of people who have left hate groups that
• 19:04
  that's what drove them in the first place.
• 19:05
  Is being promised like a fellowship?
• 19:07
  But it's a fellowship that is actually built on evilness, Yes.
• 19:11
  Yeah, that's the I thought that, like, his pitch was solid.
• 19:15
  He's like, look, this world doesn't want you, we want you.
• 19:18
  Yes. And it's like, I mean, he's not
• 19:20
  wrong. And when, yeah, when you hear it
• 19:21
  like that, you're like, wait, but then you have to stop.
• 19:23
  And they're like, no, he's a demon.
• 19:25
  He's a vampire demon. He's not a good person.
• 19:27
  You don't listen to people like this and intertwine in that
• 19:31
  with, like, the KKK and Bert being, you know, a family
• 19:37
  member, like in the clan. Yeah.
• 19:40
  He's like, his uncle is. Yeah, his uncle is.
• 19:42
  Yeah. And like just all of that is
• 19:45
  tied in so well. And it just there's, like I
• 19:47
  said, there's a lot to break down that I don't know that
• 19:49
  we're going to be able to do good justice for it, but it is
• 19:52
  it, it's just a lot and it's so good.
• 19:56
  And it's a good vampire story too.
• 19:59
  It's a good vampire story. And we also like it's got a love
• 20:02
  story in it too, because we've got.
• 20:04
  Smoke and Annie, and they're dealing with the loss of their
• 20:08
  child, and they just want to move to the other side so they
• 20:10
  can be together. And that's the choice they make.
• 20:12
  But you hear Mary's heartbreak and Stack's heartbreak when
• 20:17
  Smoke kills Annie before she can turn.
• 20:20
  They legitimately thought that they were trying to bring their
• 20:22
  family together so they can live together for eternity as
• 20:25
  vampires for eternity. And we still see Stack and Mary
• 20:27
  together 60 years later. Yeah, and but it.
• 20:32
  Worked out for both sides, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
• 20:34
  And that that that ending line like that was before the sun
• 20:37
  went down. That was the best day of my
• 20:39
  life. And then Stack saying yeah it
• 20:40
  was the last time I saw my brother.
• 20:42
  I know man, that ending is so fucking powerful.
• 20:45
  The thing is, that ending had so much potential to be super
• 20:49
  fucking cheesy, but the way that it was handled and the way it,
• 20:52
  like I thought, like, it left me like, feeling, you know what I
• 20:56
  mean? Like it was a every, like, both
• 20:58
  times, like in the theater, and then this time, like, watching
• 21:00
  and I'm like, damn, that was fucking powerful.
• 21:02
  Yeah, that was well done. Yeah, I don't know if you could
• 21:06
  hear it. I got choked up trying to say
• 21:07
  that it's this movie. There's a reason this movie
• 21:11
  stayed in theaters for as long as it did and it's gotten all
• 21:13
  the hype. It is such a fucking good movie.
• 21:15
  Movies got heart. Really.
• 21:17
  It's made from like a place of. Love it is.
• 21:19
  Yeah. It is a deeply emotional movie.
• 21:22
  And I think that says a lot about Ryan Coogler knowing what
• 21:24
  movie he was making and making sure that he got to put out
• 21:28
  exactly what he was planning. Yeah, for sure.
• 21:31
  And kudos to Warner Bros for actually letting him do it.
• 21:34
  Yeah, and that's like the one good thing you guys did.
• 21:36
  Yeah, you fuckers. Congratulations, you're 1 good
• 21:39
  deed of the decade. Yeah, and they only did it
• 21:42
  because they wanted money. Yeah.
• 21:43
  Bastards. Which they did get it.
• 21:44
  Fuckers, they did get it all right.
• 21:47
  Well, at least they don't get to own the film after 25 years.
• 21:50
  Yeah, that's the silver lining here.
• 21:52
  OK, Is that all for you? Good.
• 21:54
  Yeah. Also Miles Katyn.
• 21:56
  I want him and everything. Yeah, I was.
• 21:58
  Give that, give that man some acting roles.
• 22:00
  I'm shocked at that this is his only role.
• 22:02
  I wonder if he like, I was curious to know like if he's
• 22:05
  done smaller scale things before and he's just not getting credit
• 22:08
  but like he did a good job for his first acting role if.
• 22:10
  That was the case, yeah. I I hope that the only reason
• 22:14
  there's nothing else on his IMDb right now is because he's booked
• 22:17
  and blessed and nothing's come out yet and it's not listed as
• 22:20
  in production yet. Could be him.
• 22:21
  I hope so. OK, so my good stuff.
• 22:25
  OK, First off, I just want to say the soundtrack to this movie
• 22:28
  is amazing. I fucking love it.
• 22:30
  I love Blues music. So like actually hearing it be
• 22:33
  played the way it was in this movie, like it gave it the
• 22:36
  respect and you get to see like the origins of it.
• 22:39
  You know what I mean? Like it gives like it like shows
• 22:42
  you like where it all came from, like the soul of it all.
• 22:44
  And I really like that it just like it added to the music, it
• 22:49
  added to all the scenes perfectly.
• 22:50
  Like it was really, really well done, kind of like what you were
• 22:53
  talking about before with like the different acts, being like a
• 22:56
  parent. Like I love that first act for
• 23:00
  the way it introduced the characters.
• 23:02
  It felt like organic and like it also felt like, you know, this
• 23:07
  is how we're like setting everybody up.
• 23:09
  Like the whole part of like them going out and gathering all
• 23:12
  these people. Like you go into the next
• 23:13
  person. I need you for this thing for
• 23:15
  my, my Duke. You know, it's just like going
• 23:17
  like from point A to point B over and over again, but we're
• 23:19
  just like constantly being introduced to new people.
• 23:22
  And then once we get to the Juke and it's open, like this is
• 23:25
  where everybody gets to like we, we know everybody, everything's
• 23:28
  established now We get to play with what we've set up here.
• 23:32
  And it's a fun time, man. Like I like just seeing
• 23:35
  everybody like have fun and like have like the best day of their
• 23:39
  lives. Like you can tell like this is
• 23:40
  like a golden day right here for everybody.
• 23:42
  It honestly, watching the first act, it makes me feel like I'm
• 23:46
  reading my favorite book. Yeah, like I'm just like a book.
• 23:50
  You're there for the journey, you know what I mean?
• 23:51
  And that's how I feel watching the first act.
• 23:54
  And like, I feel like this movie, like it has multiple
• 23:56
  genres to it, but they like ebb and flow very smoothly.
• 23:59
  So like the very first bit of this movie is definitely a
• 24:03
  drama. Like this movie is like a
• 24:05
  hardcore drama. And like I know I talked about
• 24:08
  Pearl being mostly a drama before.
• 24:10
  I feel like this movie handles the horror a little bit more
• 24:14
  than Pearl did for my liking. OK, so where I can still say
• 24:17
  this is definitely a horror movie because whenever we get
• 24:20
  there, like it takes a long time for the vampires to be
• 24:23
  introduced. It does take a long time, but it
• 24:25
  also doesn't feel like a long time, you know what I mean?
• 24:28
  Yeah, well, because the movie flows so well, yes.
• 24:30
  But like I if I had to take a guess, I would say the vampire
• 24:33
  probably arrives at 50 minutes in if I were to guess.
• 24:37
  Yeah, we didn't bother trying to stop it last night or two nights
• 24:40
  ago, Yeah. But yeah, like, and then it
• 24:43
  turns into an action movie at the end because then it's like,
• 24:45
  OK, well, now we got to see him fuck up some like KKK members.
• 24:49
  So like, we were just going to go action like that.
• 24:51
  It's not going to be a horror, even though that is a horrifying
• 24:53
  thing. Like you could have kept that
• 24:54
  horror with him. Being.
• 24:56
  Tracked down by them. But no, I was like, no, let's
• 24:58
  let him have his moment and he's dying or this is like, you know,
• 25:02
  he might die soon. He does die, but like.
• 25:05
  And. Everybody.
• 25:07
  Everybody in the theater, like, cheered, yeah.
• 25:11
  Shooting them, it's, you know, it's.
• 25:13
  Just it's sad you. You.
• 25:15
  Shoot the KKK. That's what happens.
• 25:17
  You see a Nazi, you see a Clanson.
• 25:18
  Yeah, they're not good people. No.
• 25:20
  And like, like I said, like I feel like it could have still
• 25:23
  worked if you wanted to keep it horror, but you know, like I
• 25:26
  like throwing in a little bit of action into my horror too.
• 25:28
  And I thought that it blended pretty well with everything that
• 25:31
  we already had. It and it really we needed that
• 25:33
  at the end. We needed that to close that
• 25:36
  thread of things as well. Yeah, yeah.
• 25:38
  Cuz like it is being like the groundwork for that is being
• 25:41
  laid. Yeah.
• 25:41
  Like they're gonna come back and kill you.
• 25:43
  Like that's the thing that's happening.
• 25:45
  Yeah. But you know.
• 25:47
  And to see and to see Smoke just being, like, Bulk in action
• 25:50
  here. Badass.
• 25:51
  Yeah. And then he just, like, he
• 25:53
  doesn't even entertain Hogsworth.
• 25:55
  Like, at the end, he tries to, like, plead.
• 25:57
  And he's just. And he goes, all right, now I'm
• 25:58
  gonna go die and be with my girlfriend and daughter.
• 26:02
  He kept them alive long enough to get that cigarette because he
• 26:04
  can't roll this on the cigarettes.
• 26:05
  So he's like, OK, now you're worthless to me.
• 26:09
  Yeah. So, yeah, other than what you
• 26:11
  had said, yeah. That's the good app for this.
• 26:13
  OK. All right.
• 26:14
  Bad. I didn't understand the aspect
• 26:17
  ratio changes. That was AI think that was the
• 26:20
  thing that I was worrying about too because like I noticed it
• 26:23
  watching it here, but in the theater.
• 26:25
  Did that happen? It it there were.
• 26:27
  I only ever noticed it when we go to widescreen and then the
• 26:30
  black. Bars would like yeah, they would
• 26:32
  move away. It made my brain feel like it
• 26:35
  was hiccuping and it I didn't know that that was real.
• 26:38
  And then we were watching it last night and it happened early
• 26:40
  on. And I was like, wait, did I
• 26:41
  imagine that? And then at the end when I was
• 26:43
  switching back and forth a lot, I was like, OK, I'm not making,
• 26:45
  I'm not imagining this. It happened I think during like
• 26:48
  the big action moments for sure, because I know like one of the
• 26:51
  ones that I really remember, like I remember it happened when
• 26:53
  they were driving through the field back and forth and then it
• 26:57
  would happen like whenever. I think it's like when they just
• 26:59
  wanted to capture the entire environment.
• 27:02
  Yeah, it's just. But I would have kept it that
• 27:04
  black bars like keep it widescreen.
• 27:06
  I like widescreen. Yeah, I like widescreen too and
• 27:09
  I just, I didn't understand. I don't.
• 27:12
  I was hoping that might have been some of the information you
• 27:14
  would have gotten is why we had those aspect ratio changes.
• 27:17
  The only it could have been a creative decision.
• 27:19
  I know some movies they they have like IMAX shots too.
• 27:25
  I don't know that just feels like an IMAX movie.
• 27:26
  It's had 100 fucking $1,000,000. So why not shoot an IMAX and OK,
• 27:31
  any other Max, but I know that's yeah, they may have like Max
• 27:34
  like Max. That meant that might have been
• 27:36
  like IMAX scenes. OK, yeah, If I were to guess, I
• 27:39
  don't know cuz they capture a whole wider range than you know,
• 27:43
  standard. OK, all right.
• 27:46
  Is that your only bad? Yeah, that was that was the
• 27:48
  thing that really just got me. OK, the only other the thing
• 27:53
  that I had that was bad was they had a lot of personal dramas
• 27:56
  being juggled and like I know this is like a drama for like
• 27:59
  the first bit, but like we had we had Stack and Mary being a
• 28:03
  thing. We had smoking Annie and the
• 28:06
  baby be a thing and then we had Sammy and his dad being like a
• 28:10
  thing and it's like it wasn't what going on.
• 28:13
  I feel like we could have like had maybe one or two Max
• 28:16
  characters have like this whole thing going on here, but I
• 28:19
  didn't. There's a lot of like dramatic
• 28:21
  things happening for like each person and it's like, I don't
• 28:25
  know, like I felt like we could have scaled that back just a
• 28:27
  tad. I.
• 28:27
  Think it was really important to understand how they ended up.
• 28:31
  How they ended up though. I think those were all
• 28:34
  characters. I think you could have done that
• 28:35
  without it being dramatic. I think that not everybody
• 28:38
  needed to have their own personal soap opera happening on
• 28:41
  the side. Last year they were living in
• 28:42
  their soap operas. It's just that's the reality of
• 28:44
  it. Yes they were, but we didn't
• 28:45
  need that. Like make make like smoke a sad
• 28:48
  boy. This is what happens when you
• 28:49
  have three main characters, you're going to have three main
• 28:51
  soap opera storylines. Smoke's the sad boy, stacks the
• 28:55
  happy boy, and Sam Sammy's the conflicted boy.
• 28:59
  Boom. Yeah, there we go.
• 29:02
  That's not that's my thing. That's not how the movie was.
• 29:05
  I agree. Yeah, that would have.
• 29:06
  Been. But how do you show those things
• 29:08
  if you don't have the drama? What?
• 29:10
  Do you mean no? I'm not saying it eliminated
• 29:13
  entirely, just like scale it down just a tad.
• 29:15
  I think Sammy's was pretty scaled down.
• 29:17
  Yeah, overall, but I think it was like still at the heart of
• 29:20
  the whole thing. Like, you know, like, do I give
• 29:22
  this up? I mean, like it goes all the way
• 29:25
  to the very end of the movie. You know, he's he's having like
• 29:28
  that struggle and then he's like, you know what, I'm running
• 29:30
  away, I'm leaving my family. I'm going to go to Chicago and
• 29:33
  then like him and smoking stack have that argument like you're
• 29:37
  not fucking doing that. And then you're like, you're
• 29:39
  staying here. Or if you're going to leave,
• 29:41
  you're going to go to this one specific place, you know, like.
• 29:44
  I think it was storytelling. It was storytelling.
• 29:48
  It's just preference, baby. That's all it is.
• 29:49
  That's all I would like from this right here.
• 29:51
  Scale it back a little bit. OK.
• 29:53
  Yeah. All right.
• 29:54
  How can we? I mean, that's pretty obvious,
• 29:57
  right? Yeah, I mean the nature of the
• 29:59
  whole time period. Yeah.
• 30:01
  And that's the thing that I think some folks don't want to
• 30:08
  talk about these days in 2025 is how the system was built for why
• 30:16
  CIS straight men. And they can't accept that if
• 30:21
  you build a system that way, that there's always going to be
• 30:24
  like a need to change the system to make it more equitable.
• 30:31
  You know what I mean? Like people don't really.
• 30:33
  Slavery bad, y'all? Yes, slavery bad, but like
• 30:36
  people in 2025, they're like it was so long ago, but like this
• 30:39
  movie took place in 1932 and that's.
• 30:41
  The thing that. Less than 100 years.
• 30:42
  Well, the end of the movie makes you realize how not far removed
• 30:45
  it is from. Yeah.
• 30:46
  Because, like, Sammy is, like, 1992 alive and still.
• 30:49
  Like, you know, he's like, making music.
• 30:52
  Yeah. He's like performing in Chicago.
• 30:54
  But it's like all of these institutions that we have that
• 30:57
  that our country is built on and the way different businesses and
• 31:02
  so have come up and everything, all of it comes from the
• 31:05
  perspective of a straight white man and what they are able to do
• 31:08
  and what they want to do. So everybody else is having to
• 31:11
  play a game of catch up just to get to the same start.
• 31:14
  Like their starting point is halfway through the race.
• 31:16
  You know what I mean it and it, it's hard to make people
• 31:22
  understand that like having privilege doesn't mean you are
• 31:26
  necessarily privileged, but you do have certain advantages just
• 31:29
  by the nature of like being white straight male.
• 31:34
  Like I'm not saying white straight males are all bad.
• 31:38
  I'm very fond of you and I don't think you're a dickhead and I
• 31:41
  don't think you take advantage of it.
• 31:44
  But that's the that's the reality is that like it was a
• 31:48
  bunch of white dudes that made this country and they made
• 31:50
  countries, they made the country with rules that work for them.
• 31:52
  Well, it's it's a bunch of. The bad white dudes, you know,
• 31:57
  like there are good ones out there.
• 31:58
  I think that that's the problem, speaking in sweeping
• 32:01
  generalizations like it's the bad people that did.
• 32:04
  It yeah, it's the bad people that did it.
• 32:05
  But that's that's The thing is like when people say like you're
• 32:09
  you have privilege being XYZ, it's not because like, oh, you
• 32:14
  were a bad person and you're using these for bad things.
• 32:16
  It's that the system was built with you in mind and you don't
• 32:20
  think about the things that you have to do just to kind of get
• 32:23
  to the same like people are starting so much farther behind
• 32:26
  the starting line. If that's if that makes sense.
• 32:28
  Yeah, it makes sense. Yeah.
• 32:30
  So it's it that nature of this is ugly in this movie and we're
• 32:35
  still seeing effects of it today.
• 32:36
  It's. Just an ugly thing.
• 32:37
  Yeah, it's a very ugly thing. Yeah, yeah.
• 32:40
  All right. I think that pretty much covers
• 32:41
  that though. Absurd.
• 32:45
  My God, Slim being such a little fucking shithead when he's taken
• 32:48
  over the door watch for cornbread and Sammy is trying to
• 32:53
  find Stack. And so it's like, Oh yeah, he's
• 32:55
  in that room and he you see his little shit eating grin.
• 32:59
  He knows what Stack was going in that room to do and he laughs
• 33:03
  his ass off at Sammy walking in on it.
• 33:05
  I. Feel bad for cornbread.
• 33:06
  Like men might have had the shit, you know?
• 33:09
  Like maybe he did have the shit. It's not the end.
• 33:12
  Like what do you want him to shit in the doorway bro like.
• 33:15
  But he was actually also a vampire when he came back.
• 33:18
  True, but I think that that's like a legitimate.
• 33:20
  Like they were mad at him for shitting and they had no reason
• 33:23
  to believe he was a vampire in that moment.
• 33:25
  They were mad for him shitting. He was acting weird when he came
• 33:28
  back. I also that's another story
• 33:30
  about this is how like as the vampires go on they stop even
• 33:33
  trying to pretend they're not vampires.
• 33:35
  No, that was my one of my answers is like how?
• 33:37
  Like as soon as you turn into a vampire, you turn fake nice.
• 33:40
  Yeah, like, I mean, it's like everybody has like that same
• 33:43
  tone. And I guess it's because they
• 33:45
  all share the same like Hive. Mind.
• 33:47
  Yeah, yeah, it's the hive mind of it all.
• 33:49
  Yeah. Do you have anything else?
• 33:51
  That was my big one. It's just Slim I man, I'd be in
• 33:56
  a week and band of Slim, he's fun.
• 33:59
  That's Slim. Yeah, he was pretty cool.
• 34:00
  He's probably one of my favorite characters.
• 34:03
  For me it is OK. So I love that scene with all of
• 34:10
  like the times and cultures and stuff like that.
• 34:12
  But like, I wasn't expecting it my first time watching.
• 34:15
  So like all of a sudden we're here in this period drama and we
• 34:18
  got Sammy up there playing the Blues and then what the fuck?
• 34:21
  This fucking like 70s rocker, like decked out and like
• 34:24
  futuristic like electric guitars.
• 34:26
  Like I'm like, what the fuck is happening?
• 34:28
  I guess nobody acknowledging this.
• 34:29
  And then I'm like, oh, OK, I see what we're doing here.
• 34:32
  But like the whole idea of that like happening and I, I know it
• 34:37
  didn't and it actually happened. Or did it happen?
• 34:38
  Did that actually happen and people just didn't acknowledge
• 34:41
  it? I don't understand.
• 34:42
  Like, but the idea that like all of that shit happened and
• 34:45
  everybody's like not losing their fucking minds.
• 34:48
  I don't think it actually happened because that scene ends
• 34:50
  with the Juke burning down. That's true.
• 34:54
  I did, didn't I? Yeah, I think.
• 34:55
  Or was that a transition? I think it was metaphorical.
• 34:58
  I think it was them. But the whole point is like
• 35:00
  feeling. The whole point is he has that
• 35:02
  gift to actually do that. Yes, but I'm saying like that's
• 35:05
  the metaphor of like what they were feeling from it.
• 35:08
  Gotcha, so he wasn't actually summoning, that was just like a
• 35:11
  metaphor. Yeah, like it opened that veil.
• 35:14
  It's, you can feel the music of the music and the culture and
• 35:17
  the dance and everything of the past and what it is going to be
• 35:19
  in the future. But I, I don't think there were
• 35:24
  literally those people dancing around them.
• 35:27
  I think it was just like they're feeling the power of the music
• 35:31
  and especially Sammy's way of playing the music.
• 35:34
  Well, no matter any intentions, the fact that I saw that guy out
• 35:38
  of the blue just like really had me.
• 35:40
  Like what the fuck is happening whenever I first watched this?
• 35:43
  So that was one of the upstairs and the final one is the end of
• 35:47
  the movie. Yeah, action would be badass,
• 35:49
  but smoke just going out in the open, like he doesn't give a
• 35:52
  fuck. He's just like he was like
• 35:54
  snapping away in the weeds at 1st and he's like, all right, go
• 35:56
  out, get my machine gun and I'm just walking at you all.
• 35:58
  No cover. I think he was prepared to die.
• 36:01
  I think he wanted to do. This I think he wanted to.
• 36:03
  Die. I think he was going for it.
• 36:05
  He everybody else is gone. He lost everybody else.
• 36:10
  I think he made us these. He realized Sammy was going to
• 36:16
  do whatever he was going to do. And I don't think he, I think he
• 36:21
  when he couldn't keep his brother safe, I think he didn't
• 36:24
  want to be responsible for Sammy.
• 36:27
  OK. Either way, I think it's absurd
• 36:29
  that you go out there and you're just like firing off no cover.
• 36:32
  Just say, hey, here I am. Shoot me.
• 36:35
  I appreciate the boldness. You're just going to defend this
• 36:39
  movie no matter what I say, aren't you?
• 36:40
  Yeah, I. Love this movie.
• 36:41
  Here's an absurd thing about. Well, actually it was because of
• 36:44
  this. I didn't say actually.
• 36:46
  OK. So what are you rating?
• 36:49
  Oh, this is a 10. Yeah, this is a 10 for me too.
• 36:51
  This movie is. Fantastic.
• 36:52
  Yeah, I I wasn't sure like because it was I was on such a
• 36:57
  high leave in the theater with it.
• 36:58
  I was a little bit nervous rewatching it at home but it do
• 37:01
  you. Think it was going to hold?
• 37:02
  Up I Well, I never know, you know, you never know.
• 37:07
  It absolutely held up though. Yeah, yeah.
• 37:09
  I mean, I got the same feeling watching it at home that I did
• 37:13
  here in or at the theater. Yeah.
• 37:16
  OK, cool. All right.
• 37:16
  So tins, tins. It's perfect, baby.
• 37:19
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 37:20
  All right. Let's get into it.
• 37:21
  Let's get into it. So we start off and Annie is
• 37:24
  talking about legends of music makers that are so true and
• 37:28
  their music is so pure. It pierces the veil between life
• 37:30
  and death. Past in the future can bring
• 37:33
  healing, but it also attracts evil.
• 37:35
  Yeah, we get some glowing red eyes.
• 37:38
  So at Clarksdale, Mississippi, October 16th, 1932, we see a
• 37:43
  bloody and battered Sammy walking in, interrupting church
• 37:47
  service. His dad, Jedidiah.
• 37:49
  I was like all right, cool, this is the moment to save you in
• 37:51
  front of the congregation. This will definitely work out
• 37:53
  the way I wanted to. Like I did not stage this
• 37:55
  people, I swear to God. He's like Sholi sinners the way
• 38:00
  one day earlier. He's like he's, he's holding the
• 38:02
  guitar neck too and he's like, drop the guitar, son.
• 38:06
  So Sammy is harvesting early in the morning.
• 38:10
  He talks to somebody else who's coming out as he's who's coming
• 38:15
  in as he's headed out, asking if he's going to be playing the
• 38:17
  guitar that night and where, and he just won't confirm.
• 38:20
  He won't confirm at all. That's his little secret.
• 38:24
  Yeah, he goes back home and he's looking for his guitar.
• 38:27
  Him and his mom like laughing and joking around with each
• 38:30
  other. Like you get such an idea of the
• 38:31
  family dynamics. He goes and wakes up the little
• 38:33
  ones. His mom says y'all need to get
• 38:34
  up. He looks for his guitar, can't
• 38:36
  find it. Jed.
• 38:39
  Jed, Yeah, he took the guitar because he's gonna tell him that
• 38:44
  he needs to come do preaching with him tomorrow.
• 38:46
  Yeah, so. Meanwhile, we have the brothers.
• 38:51
  They're waiting for him outside. Or no, they're waiting outside
• 38:53
  the building. They're waiting outside the old
• 38:55
  sawmill. They're waiting for Hogsworth.
• 38:57
  He's late and they're planning to buy it there.
• 39:03
  You want to buy the land around it, everything inside of it.
• 39:05
  They're asking good questions. They're like these floors
• 39:08
  cleaned recently. What'd you clean off of them?
• 39:10
  They remind me of your dad when we were getting one of your
• 39:14
  cars. The one.
• 39:16
  Time. Goes tired of looking a little
• 39:17
  flat. Can I get something down there?
• 39:20
  And then Hogsworth is like, I thought y'all were serious about
• 39:23
  this and more and more you say that we're not serious.
• 39:26
  And then they make it clear that they are loaded both in terms of
• 39:29
  cash and bullets. Yeah, negotiations get a little
• 39:33
  hostile, but it's OK. They end up buying the place.
• 39:35
  And then they're like, all right, we bought this.
• 39:37
  But if we see any of you or any of the clan boys come over here,
• 39:43
  they're being shot dead on site. And just like every racist, even
• 39:48
  nowadays, man's not a thing anymore, he says.
• 39:52
  Oh OK, so you know you are part of it then in. 1932 Are you
• 39:56
  fucking kidding me, dude? Like, that's like prime time,
• 39:59
  you know what I mean? Nah.
• 40:02
  All right. So now we see Sammy at the
• 40:04
  church talking to his dad where he's like, OK, you got to do the
• 40:07
  sermon tomorrow. So he he does like the little
• 40:10
  test run of it. And then he's like, all right,
• 40:11
  dad, I got to go get his guitar. The brothers are waiting
• 40:14
  outside. Why are you playing for people
• 40:16
  drinking and dancing and grinding bodies on each other
• 40:20
  and fucking yeah like that sounds like a good time to me,
• 40:24
  Jed. Yeah, like why aren't you?
• 40:26
  Yeah. Need to get this church a little
• 40:29
  bit more groovy. Let me put the Blues open here,
• 40:31
  yeah? Yeah, like, and that's the thing
• 40:34
  that I mean about, like, the music having like, all these
• 40:36
  different subcultures because even smoke, at some point later
• 40:39
  he's going to tell Sammy that he should go play church music.
• 40:41
  Yeah. So you got like these different
• 40:43
  ways that it branches out. Yeah.
• 40:45
  So yeah, they're in the the car now.
• 40:47
  Sammy's in the car with smoke and.
• 40:49
  Smoke asked about Uncle Jed. We're going to learn later that
• 40:53
  their dad was horribly abusive and Smoke ended up killing him
• 40:57
  after he knocked out Stack. Yeah, and they're worried about
• 41:02
  Jed maybe having similar. Yeah, maybe his dad's the same
• 41:05
  as their dad. Was they, they're brothers.
• 41:07
  Yeah, they're they're very clear on it.
• 41:09
  He goes No. Then he doesn't raise a hand on
• 41:11
  me. Sometimes the little ones if
• 41:12
  they deserve it, but usually that's Mom.
• 41:15
  So he makes it very clear, like he's like, I'm not in the same
• 41:18
  situation as you all, but. Yeah, he asked him about
• 41:21
  Chicago. Because they've been up in
• 41:22
  Chicago and they decided to come back down to their hometown.
• 41:25
  Yeah, he said. It sounds real great.
• 41:28
  You know, place where black men can walk around, go anywhere he
• 41:30
  wants and they're like, it's. It's the same as Mississippi
• 41:33
  except for skyscrapers, and that's about it.
• 41:36
  Yeah, which gotta be hard to hear.
• 41:39
  So they stop on the side of the road there and they walked to
• 41:42
  the side and there's a truck hidden in the weeds, doesn't.
• 41:46
  That kind of make you want to look through cornfields and see
• 41:47
  if you can find a truck full of booze.
• 41:49
  Well, we did watch Clown in the Cornfield last night and that
• 41:51
  makes me wary of cornfields come across any clowns.
• 41:56
  Maybe if I find a truck. I don't know.
• 41:57
  I'm a little bit 5050 on it now. I.
• 41:59
  Was texting our friend Kendra about it and she said it really
• 42:04
  should be called corn in a clown field and I said that is more
• 42:07
  accurate to the ratio of corn to clown.
• 42:09
  Make that the tagline. So they they open up the flap of
• 42:16
  the truck and there's a snake. I was wondering if there's a
• 42:18
  symbolism for like, you know the sin.
• 42:20
  Yeah, yeah. Garden of Eden.
• 42:22
  Yeah. And they do a cool shot of
• 42:26
  smoke, throwing the knife over to stack and then boom, just
• 42:29
  like stabs and throws it down on the ground.
• 42:31
  Yeah, so. They're gonna split up, Yeah,
• 42:34
  because they're debating if they have time.
• 42:35
  They're like, what if we just set up tonight and open next
• 42:37
  week and snack's like, Nope, we'll split up, we'll get taken
• 42:39
  care of. Got to do it.
• 42:41
  So Stack is going to take Sammy and they're going to go and
• 42:45
  gather up some people to go, you know, perform with them in Y-9.
• 42:49
  And they're going to get the band back together.
• 42:52
  They are, and Smoke is going to go into town and get supplies
• 42:55
  needed for the opening. So smoke goes to like a seems
• 42:59
  like a little market area like. They're downtown.
• 43:02
  Yeah, and he pulls a girl over, offers her money to wash the
• 43:06
  truck. And he says if anybody looks
• 43:07
  like they're looking around, they're looking too long,
• 43:09
  getting too close. You lay on that horn, I'll give
• 43:11
  you $0.10 a minute, she said. Thank you.
• 43:13
  He goes, no, no, no. This negotiation.
• 43:15
  I like this. We gotta go back.
• 43:16
  I love this. Teach her how to negotiate,
• 43:18
  yeah. He's like helping the next
• 43:19
  generation. He's helping her be
• 43:20
  self-sufficient. Yes.
• 43:22
  And I like watching this and it and it'll come back here in just
• 43:24
  a minute. Yeah, I know.
• 43:26
  Yeah. I love that moment.
• 43:27
  Yeah, that was cool. So yeah, they he gets her to
• 43:30
  negotiate for a better Ray and she's got a way on the horn if
• 43:32
  anything happens. So he goes in talks to Lisa,
• 43:36
  daughter of Bowen Grace. Yes and he talks to Beau about
• 43:41
  some catering what they need they need a sign also he asked
• 43:45
  about Chicago, He said I heard y'all won big on the tables.
• 43:48
  He goes you heard some rumors, but that's what they are they're
• 43:51
  rumors. So I'm not going to say that
• 43:53
  they're not wrong, but and. Then suddenly we hear that the
• 43:55
  horn. Honk.
• 43:56
  He goes out. He immediately shoots Terry in
• 43:58
  the ass. Which Terry's asking for it.
• 44:01
  Yeah. He's going through his truck.
• 44:02
  He's like, I didn't know it was yours.
• 44:03
  And the girl's, like I told you, it was his.
• 44:05
  Yeah, I like that. I like this girl.
• 44:07
  Yeah. Yeah, he knows them, they're
• 44:10
  familiar and they're like, OK, whatever, I'll let you go.
• 44:12
  But then he shoots the other guys.
• 44:13
  I can't say that you almost stole from the Smokestack twins.
• 44:16
  Yeah. And there's like a little line
• 44:17
  drop where it's kind of mentioned that they might have
• 44:20
  worked for Capone when they were in Chicago.
• 44:22
  Yeah, so I'm getting the impression that there's just a
• 44:24
  lot of rumors being stirred up about these. 2 So he pays Bow
• 44:28
  extra to patch up those two guys so that way they're not bleeding
• 44:31
  out. And he talks to Grace about
• 44:34
  making a sign and they have such a good negotiation, such a like
• 44:38
  perfect back and forth. And this is what he was teaching
• 44:41
  that little girl, to be able to do something.
• 44:43
  Yeah, Barter. And he makes an arrangement to
• 44:46
  get the flowers that they had there too, because he's going to
• 44:48
  be taking. Them with somebody, I think this
• 44:50
  is also really important to to show Grace's toughness in this
• 44:54
  moment because she's going to have a tough a tough time later
• 44:58
  on. So I think it's good that we
• 44:59
  establish what kind of character she is earlier so we understand
• 45:03
  how scared and desperate she is later.
• 45:04
  Yeah. So now we see Stack and Sammy.
• 45:10
  Stack has given Sammy good advice on how to give a woman
• 45:13
  head. It is what it is, Sammy, and
• 45:15
  Sammy takes the notes. He hands on the guitar, No.
• 45:19
  No, he had the guitar. He had the guitar, yeah, but
• 45:21
  they got it from him and he asked about like the origin of
• 45:25
  it or whatever and says he got it from old Charlie Perlin.
• 45:29
  No Charlie Patton. Charlie Patton, Sorry I read
• 45:32
  down here. Boy, I thought that I did the
• 45:34
  thing where I wrote underneath it.
• 45:36
  Pearlene is somebody on the lean Pearlene.
• 45:38
  We see her in a little bit. Yeah, yeah.
• 45:40
  No, they said Shirley Patton's. He also asks about their dad.
• 45:43
  He said, you guys told me that you'd tell me, you know, what
• 45:47
  the story was someday when I was older and I'm older now.
• 45:50
  And that's when Zach tells, you know, the story that I explained
• 45:53
  earlier. So he's getting a little bit
• 45:54
  more of an idea of their dynamic and why they're being kind of
• 45:58
  protective of him. They go to a train station and
• 46:02
  Delta Slam is out there paying his harmonica.
• 46:05
  They offer for him to come play goes for $20.
• 46:08
  He was like, I play at Messengers every Saturday night.
• 46:10
  I've done it for the past 10 years.
• 46:12
  I'll be able to do it 10 years to come if I live that long.
• 46:15
  Are y'all going to be here next month?
• 46:17
  So $20 now versus all the corn liquor I can drink.
• 46:21
  I'm happy enough with my life. And that's when Stack pulls out
• 46:24
  an Irish beer for him, and the Irish beer wins them over.
• 46:28
  Yep, and he offers them $40 and all those drinking drink
• 46:32
  tonight. And then Slim and Sammy play a
• 46:36
  little demo to drum up interest. And Stack is telling everybody
• 46:40
  like, come to our Juke tonight. You'll hear these boys play and
• 46:45
  see. The attention of a lady there,
• 46:48
  Pearlene. Pearlene.
• 46:49
  Pearlene. Pearlene.
• 46:50
  Yes, Pearlene. She tells Sammy that she's
• 46:54
  married and he better be careful cuz he says aren't you happily
• 46:57
  married? There's.
• 47:00
  Lots of thing going on in this movie, yeah.
• 47:02
  She also sings. He's.
• 47:04
  Yes, here. She sings and she says she does.
• 47:07
  He's known as preacher boy. Yeah.
• 47:09
  And his reputation precedes him with his guitar playing.
• 47:12
  So they've seen each other perform before, they said yeah.
• 47:16
  Jack is approached by Mary who is grieving and pissed cuz she
• 47:20
  was like you just up and left me after you told me you love me.
• 47:23
  I waited for you, buried my mom yesterday, sure expected to see
• 47:27
  you and your brother after all she did for you, but I guess she
• 47:30
  wasn't any good that you did and.
• 47:33
  He's pretty hostile towards us. Like, yeah, that's right.
• 47:35
  Fuck off. Like pretty much.
• 47:37
  So yeah, they don't. They don't have like.
• 47:38
  This is not a happy reunion. Yeah, so Sam, Sammy, Stack and
• 47:44
  Slim, that's a lot of s s There's a lot of s s.
• 47:49
  They they're driving. Yeah.
• 47:51
  Oh my. God, it's.
• 47:53
  So deep, so deep. So they're driving down slim
• 47:56
  haulers at some prison workers that are out there digging
• 48:01
  ditches, breaking rocks. He knows some of them used to
• 48:05
  play together and basically he says this is a story he tells
• 48:11
  about his group being rounded up by some white cops, forced to
• 48:15
  play for some white folks, and later one of his friends gets
• 48:17
  lynched after being accused of doing something.
• 48:20
  He said white folks like the Blues, but they don't like the
• 48:22
  people who make it. Yeah, they were going like he
• 48:24
  was going to take his money and go to Little Rock or whatever,
• 48:26
  and they just didn't know. We're not having.
• 48:28
  That yeah, you're going to die. Yep.
• 48:30
  Yeah, and then they come across Cornbread, who's out there
• 48:33
  working in the field, too. They offer him some money and a
• 48:37
  job. Yes.
• 48:38
  And he's like, I can't. I got my wife and she goes how
• 48:40
  much money? I like.
• 48:42
  I like her being like how much money?
• 48:43
  Yeah, Yeah. So it's a.
• 48:46
  Bold move to go out there just like insulting and it's like
• 48:48
  all. Right.
• 48:49
  Yeah, fucking piece of shit. Fuck you.
• 48:51
  And your wife? You're working for me today.
• 48:53
  How much money? Yeah, like, OK.
• 48:55
  It worked though. Yeah, I guess it did.
• 48:56
  Yeah, Smoke is at a little makeshift gravesite, and he
• 49:03
  leaves some flowers and says Papa's home and oh, God, Just
• 49:08
  like Michael B Jordan's acting is really phenomenal in this.
• 49:13
  Like, just the way his voice like has a little hitch to it
• 49:16
  when he's saying that. Yeah, you can tell it's outside
• 49:18
  like a house and you can tell it's like a, you know, a little
• 49:20
  grave out in the front yard. And he he sees Annie over there
• 49:24
  and there's some children and they're buying potions from her
• 49:28
  and she's like a potion seller. She's from, she's from
• 49:31
  Louisiana. She's.
• 49:33
  She's all about that stuff. Yeah, And they kind of argue
• 49:36
  about it because he's like, listen, I've been out there in
• 49:39
  the world. I know money is what makes
• 49:40
  people powerful. You shouldn't be taking this
• 49:43
  fake paper money. It's not really any real money.
• 49:46
  And she's like, I believe in the magic.
• 49:48
  How do you know that what I did didn't keep you and your brother
• 49:50
  out there also? She refuses his money because
• 49:53
  that's blood money. I don't want any of it.
• 49:55
  Yeah, she. Also re UPS his mojo bag which I
• 49:58
  like that it's called a mojo bag.
• 50:00
  And I like that. Like he acts like it's not
• 50:03
  something he believes in, but he's kept that on him.
• 50:06
  He throws it away at the end of the movie though, which I always
• 50:08
  thought was a strange choice. I think it was when he was
• 50:10
  accepting that he was going to die.
• 50:12
  He wanted to be with Amy and his baby.
• 50:13
  When? You want the mojo for that
• 50:15
  because it was the thing that connected you to her.
• 50:17
  He wants to just go to the afterlife with her.
• 50:20
  Fuck this mojo. That's why he took off the mojo
• 50:22
  bag. It was too strong, his mojo was
• 50:25
  too strong, and his. Mojo was too strong.
• 50:27
  Yeah, the opposite of Austin Powers.
• 50:29
  That's true, except for when his mojo got stolen.
• 50:32
  Yeah, but he he discovered in the end he didn't need his mojo.
• 50:35
  It's very clear. It's all the same story.
• 50:38
  Awesome powers in this very similar story beats.
• 50:42
  Anyway, they have sex, yeah. Yeah, that's the mojo he's got
• 50:46
  right there, baby. Yeah.
• 50:48
  So let's see, we just we. This is where we cut.
• 50:53
  To oh, she's cooking for them tonight by the way yeah he
• 50:55
  recruited her to cook yeah for them so now we get.
• 50:59
  A very burnt man approaching a house.
• 51:01
  He's saying that some indigenous folks at Choctaw are after him.
• 51:06
  They took his wife. I don't know why I didn't notice
• 51:08
  this in the moment, but like, obviously he's a vampire because
• 51:11
  he's like sizzling in the fucking sunlight right now.
• 51:13
  Yes, yeah. But he's being She was pulling a
• 51:16
  spike pull his jacket up over his head, running through the
• 51:18
  sunlight. But yeah, like he talks to the
• 51:21
  person that opens the door. It's 2 two people.
• 51:25
  You can see like a Klan hood in the background there so.
• 51:28
  You know. Read the clan and he's like, he
• 51:30
  has some Native Americans, except he doesn't call him that.
• 51:32
  Yeah, and. No, they're they're from the
• 51:34
  Choctaw tribe. Cha cha Choctaw.
• 51:37
  Choctaw. Yeah.
• 51:38
  OK. They arrive and ask if they've
• 51:42
  seen a man and Bert's wife. I didn't write down her name.
• 51:48
  Joan. Joan.
• 51:50
  Yeah. Joan is like, well, he's not
• 51:52
  here. And they're like, OK, I just,
• 51:54
  you know, the sun's about to go down.
• 51:57
  That man isn't what he seems. He is.
• 51:58
  I'm just telling you, like, be careful.
• 52:00
  And they leave. Yeah, cuz it's like sundown,
• 52:03
  like they don't want to be out at night.
• 52:04
  And she goes to tell Bert and Remic about what happened, and
• 52:09
  instead she finds Bert bleeding out, bleeding out, Remic very
• 52:13
  bloody. And then Bree's like, I'm
• 52:15
  better. Yeah.
• 52:17
  So, OK, now we went. Now we see folks starting to rob
• 52:22
  to Club Juke. Yeah, it's, it's just a fun
• 52:25
  little vibe. Everybody's, you know, getting
• 52:28
  comfortable, starting to have a good time.
• 52:31
  Smoke pulls Annie and Stack to the side when they accept the
• 52:34
  plantation tokens. And he's like, we need real
• 52:36
  money. And Stack and Annie are both
• 52:38
  like these folks work hard. They need to be here.
• 52:42
  They need this place. They need this night.
• 52:44
  Let. Them have this, Yeah, I like
• 52:47
  that. I understand where they're both
• 52:48
  coming from. You need that one person to be
• 52:50
  like, hey, we need this. We want the operation to
• 52:53
  continue, but also you need a little bit of that.
• 52:56
  But hey, come on. Yeah, come on.
• 52:58
  We're people, people here. Yeah.
• 53:01
  Yeah. So Pearlene is shocked to learn
• 53:05
  that Sammy's related to the twins because their reputation
• 53:09
  also precedes them. They're not preacher boys.
• 53:11
  They are not preacher boys. They're quite the opposite of
• 53:14
  it. And Mary also arrives.
• 53:18
  Sammy tries to get her out because Sammy saw what happened
• 53:21
  between her and Sack earlier. And he's like, listen, I'm with
• 53:24
  the twins. I think you need to leave.
• 53:25
  She goes, oh, fuck you if you're with the twins.
• 53:27
  And then she was like, oh, my God, you're little Sammy.
• 53:29
  You must be old enough to drink now.
• 53:30
  Come on, let's go get a drink. Let's go get a drink.
• 53:32
  She's so excited. Yeah, like.
• 53:33
  All right, let's go. I'm getting you a shot.
• 53:35
  Yeah. So Sammy is now going to go
• 53:40
  perform, Yes. And this is where we get that
• 53:43
  really cool scene. Well hold on, Mary explained
• 53:46
  some of her background to him and how how she knows the twins
• 53:49
  and you know, probably met him a long time ago and he just
• 53:53
  doesn't remember. So her grandpa was half black,
• 53:55
  her dad raised her so that way she wouldn't be.
• 53:57
  No, her dad was half black. I thought her grandpa.
• 53:59
  Oh really? Yeah.
• 54:00
  OK. Dad raised her.
• 54:02
  She is. I guess we would refer to as
• 54:03
  white passing. Yeah, cuz she looks like a white
• 54:06
  person, but she has like. Yes, yeah.
• 54:10
  So, you know, she, her dad raised her to try and keep her
• 54:13
  safe from the clan, but her mom delivered the twins.
• 54:18
  So she they've known each other basically.
• 54:21
  And their. Mom, their entire wives, I think
• 54:23
  they're yeah, yeah. And so, yeah, that's her mom
• 54:28
  died yesterday. Yeah, so.
• 54:29
  Because her dad was a piece of shit so they basically had to go
• 54:31
  to her. For good stuff.
• 54:33
  So there's a lot of history between Mary and the twins.
• 54:36
  So that that was important to know why she was there, right,
• 54:40
  right. And Stack just wants her to be
• 54:42
  safe. That's that's the whole reason
• 54:44
  he won't be with her is because. It's bad news.
• 54:46
  It is is. I mean, yeah, he's with the
• 54:49
  gangsters and everything. But also in 1932, a woman who
• 54:52
  most people would look at in a scene is white.
• 54:54
  Yeah. True.
• 54:55
  And a very obviously black man. That was not well received.
• 54:59
  Yeah. True.
• 55:01
  So Sammy transcends time and space.
• 55:04
  I just wrote Sammy plays. He does.
• 55:07
  He just, this whole this whole scene just gives me goosebumps
• 55:11
  every time. It's so it really.
• 55:14
  He, Ryan Coogler, did such a good job capturing the power of
• 55:18
  music. I thought the performance is
• 55:20
  really well done too. Yeah, Oh God, Miles Cayton's
• 55:23
  voice. Yeah.
• 55:24
  I'm wondering how much of it was actually him playing and like
• 55:26
  how much of it was the score like maybe like half his vocals
• 55:30
  over like the dude playing because it looked like he was
• 55:32
  playing in real time there. Like he was hitting the like the
• 55:34
  frets and like the strumming and everything was synced up
• 55:37
  perfectly. Yeah, he was playing in a way
• 55:39
  that it doesn't look like he learned some basic movement,
• 55:42
  movements, movements. It's.
• 55:44
  Been gonna be too southern talking about this.
• 55:47
  Well, no, I was going to say motions and then movement
• 55:50
  started to come out. That's what happened with that.
• 55:52
  Yeah, but no, it's really cool. I love it.
• 55:54
  The guitar sounds amazing. He's got an amazing voice.
• 55:57
  If his acting career doesn't take off, he should pursue a
• 56:00
  musical. Absolutely, absolutely.
• 56:04
  After he's done, he uses lessons Stack taught him on Perlin Smoke
• 56:10
  show Stack how much money they've made in real money
• 56:13
  versus the plantation money and they've only got.
• 56:17
  Like a couple months left, but they're going to like they're
• 56:19
  going to burn through with their money that they have.
• 56:21
  Yeah, they will be under in two months.
• 56:23
  And then this is where our trio of vampires arrive at the door.
• 56:27
  Cornbread holds them off, and Remic, Joan and Bert decide to
• 56:30
  give like a little preview. They were drawn.
• 56:33
  They heard from a distance. Sammy's playing.
• 56:36
  They were drawn. Remic is seeing this as an
• 56:38
  opportunity he's been a vampire for for a very long time.
• 56:41
  Yeah. Did they ever like go into any?
• 56:43
  I don't think they did. They hinted at it.
• 56:46
  They he's made. He made a few remarks here and
• 56:48
  there about how it's been a long time since he's seen his family
• 56:52
  and when he starts singing he goes into an Irish rogue that he
• 56:56
  did not have. He does the Irish dance before
• 56:58
  too. Yeah, yeah.
• 56:59
  Which you? David Boreanaz wishes, yeah.
• 57:03
  You, you made you made this connection.
• 57:04
  This is the little shit. One of the little shits from
• 57:06
  Eden Lake by the. Way, yeah, yeah.
• 57:08
  But this guy? Yeah, this guy has done nothing
• 57:11
  but cost strong on a Jesse. Yeah, the entire his entire
• 57:14
  life. Sorry, Jack O'Connell, I don't
• 57:16
  know if you're a real good person or not, but fuck all of
• 57:18
  your characters. Good actor, he does a great.
• 57:20
  Job in this yeah you make me hate you on.
• 57:22
  Screen, He was like one of the first people cast in this, other
• 57:24
  than obviously Michael B Jordan. Just like him and Ryan Cooper
• 57:28
  collaborate a lot, but I, I like this, you know, they, they play
• 57:31
  like a nice little Jingle and it's like, hey, like everybody's
• 57:34
  actually like, this is actually pretty good music, but I don't
• 57:36
  think having you here is really for the best.
• 57:38
  So they turn them away. Yeah, and, and they bring up a
• 57:41
  good point because they're like, oh, it's because of our skin
• 57:43
  color. Like, that's weird.
• 57:44
  Like we all just want to be here and enjoying the music together.
• 57:47
  But as the group talks about together later, all it takes is
• 57:50
  for one little thing to go wrong.
• 57:51
  Like one person steal something on them accidentally or somebody
• 57:54
  will get the wife the wrong way and then it could turn into a
• 57:57
  whole thing, yeah. So it's it's an act of
• 58:01
  protection. Yeah, yeah.
• 58:03
  So Smoke tell Sammy that the wife of a musician is not a
• 58:07
  happy one and he really ought to just consider playing in the
• 58:10
  church. And if he doesn't, then
• 58:13
  basically he's starting to blackball Sammy around
• 58:16
  Mississippi and Chicago. I, you know, I feel bad for him
• 58:19
  too because like, look, no offense to people that like it,
• 58:21
  but church music sucks. Like it's just, it's not fun to
• 58:24
  listen to even when you try and make it fun.
• 58:26
  I've heard church rap. It's not good.
• 58:29
  Like it's just not. What about Reliant K?
• 58:33
  No, no, it's just not good, man. Like.
• 58:35
  I need Hawkins dance in my khaki dance.
• 58:36
  Nope, Nope, nothing better. Sammy's on the right track here
• 58:39
  boys. Music is the way to go.
• 58:41
  Church music. I would not like to go from what
• 58:44
  he has been playing and be like, but do the gospel son.
• 58:46
  Like no, fuck that dude. Like his dad doesn't seem like
• 58:49
  the type who even likes the gospel music in his church.
• 58:51
  I know like. Remember, the little kids are
• 58:53
  allowed to sing this little out of mine and that's about it.
• 58:55
  Yeah, it's just like I understand his perspective.
• 58:58
  Like you've already had this cool.
• 59:00
  Like I know how to I get the fucking guitar slide, man.
• 59:03
  Like I'm you think they're going to let me do that shit in the
• 59:05
  gospel? Fuck that.
• 59:07
  And I think that's what's so great about, like, when he plays
• 59:10
  that song, it's called I Lied to You.
• 59:13
  And he wrote it about his dad, like, because he's tries to act
• 59:17
  like he's fine with being in the church, but he's lying to his
• 59:19
  dad the whole time. Yeah.
• 59:20
  Because he cares about. Yeah, he cares.
• 59:22
  About his lies, yeah. Stack tells Mary about what's
• 59:27
  going on with with the money and how they're going to be
• 59:30
  underwater soon. And she's like, well, what if I
• 59:32
  go fill out those people? They might have money, maybe
• 59:35
  maybe they'll be free people that we can have in here tonight
• 59:38
  and it'll be OK and it'll at least get you a little coin to
• 59:41
  go farther. So she goes out there and they
• 59:43
  give her gold coins and she's like what the fuck?
• 59:46
  Like what kind of currency is this?
• 59:47
  And like, that's the good kind. And.
• 59:50
  It's universal. People like gold.
• 59:52
  Yeah. And then she's they're like, you
• 59:53
  seem sad. She goes, yeah, my mom just died
• 59:55
  and my ex-boyfriend is being really mean to me.
• 59:59
  And they're like, well, we can save you from being sad.
• 1:00:00
  And she's like, this is really creepy.
• 1:00:02
  I'm gonna go. And then she pulls out a gun.
• 1:00:05
  Yeah, well, because he starts drooling and has glowing eyes.
• 1:00:08
  I would boil a gun in that moment, too.
• 1:00:10
  Yeah, but she does the fatal mistake of turning her back on
• 1:00:12
  them. Yeah, which gives him the
• 1:00:14
  opportunity to fly. So we don't see what happens,
• 1:00:18
  but we do see Mary come back and she asks Cornbread, aren't you
• 1:00:20
  going to let me in? No, yeah.
• 1:00:24
  Slim comes by and covers the doors of cornbread.
• 1:00:27
  Can go pee and maybe poop. Yeah, and.
• 1:00:30
  We don't. It's unconclusive, it's
• 1:00:31
  inconclusive. If he poops as he's peeing, we
• 1:00:34
  hear them. He's not pooping, he's peeing.
• 1:00:36
  He's actually, we see him peeing.
• 1:00:38
  Yeah, unless he's pooping. His shorts, his britches.
• 1:00:41
  Then maybe he's pooping. Listen, he's in overalls.
• 1:00:44
  It's a lot. If the poop came on too fast, he
• 1:00:46
  might not have had an opportunity.
• 1:00:48
  That's why you need that butt, flat butt.
• 1:00:52
  And as he's peeing, he just like hears like a little whisperer.
• 1:00:54
  He's like, oh, that. Ocean.
• 1:00:56
  That should be a gay fat poop. Poop, poop.
• 1:01:03
  Stop. Stop being one of the dark.
• 1:01:04
  It's dark, dark now, OK? That's when vampires like they
• 1:01:08
  that's their time. Dark, Dark, OK.
• 1:01:11
  That's also when Halloween attractions are at their most
• 1:01:14
  dangerous. This is also October in the
• 1:01:16
  South, so it's at night is dark dark.
• 1:01:19
  It's prime dark, dark time. It's dark, dark.
• 1:01:22
  Yeah, so we don't know exactly what happens, but.
• 1:01:24
  Dark. Dark.
• 1:01:25
  Yeah, we have an audience menacing.
• 1:01:26
  Cornbread's not fast. No, he's not a quick guy.
• 1:01:29
  He's a big guy, which makes him good for door security, but he's
• 1:01:33
  not the one chasing people down. Yeah, we're running away so.
• 1:01:38
  Stack goes. Mary.
• 1:01:40
  Mary. Yeah.
• 1:01:41
  Mary comes in, leads Stack to a private room, and I think we
• 1:01:45
  know what they're thinking. They're Yeah, yeah.
• 1:01:48
  Smoke is dealing with a fight in the gambling room and he sends
• 1:01:52
  Sammy to go get Stack and Sammy gets in there, walks in with
• 1:01:57
  Delta Slim encouraging the whole fucking thing, wrapping his ass
• 1:02:00
  off. You see Mary riding him on top
• 1:02:02
  there and he's just, oh shit. It does look sexy from that
• 1:02:07
  shot. I think, I mean in that moment
• 1:02:08
  they were actually having sex, I think.
• 1:02:11
  And so he comes out and smells like where's our goes?
• 1:02:14
  I didn't want everything. He's getting nookie and fuck
• 1:02:17
  that. I'm gonna go like I told you,
• 1:02:19
  get my brother, you get my brother cuz I'm not going at him
• 1:02:21
  alone in that state. You gotta.
• 1:02:22
  Go yeah, that's a brother thing, that cousin thing.
• 1:02:25
  Yeah, but unfortunately when they get in there, the situation
• 1:02:29
  has changed and Mary has, you know, chewed on him in a non
• 1:02:34
  sexy way. Yeah, in a way where he's
• 1:02:35
  bleeding from his neck profusely.
• 1:02:37
  Yeah, in the in the way that kind of kills a person and she
• 1:02:42
  stack or Smoke doesn't even hesitate.
• 1:02:44
  He shoots her, doesn't do anything to her, and then she
• 1:02:46
  goes, we're going to kill you all.
• 1:02:48
  And then she runs. He lights her off.
• 1:02:50
  I mean, she's got like 50 fucking shots all around her.
• 1:02:53
  Yeah. And yes, she runs out of the
• 1:02:55
  building. Stack dies.
• 1:02:57
  This is such a hard moment because like, Smoke is just
• 1:03:00
  holding him and Stack is so scared and Smoke has always been
• 1:03:03
  the one protecting him. And there's like an added thing
• 1:03:06
  about them being twins, because that's an extras, yeah.
• 1:03:10
  That's a connection right there. Yeah.
• 1:03:12
  They were like, together the entire time.
• 1:03:14
  Yeah. Delta swim shuts down the party,
• 1:03:16
  tells everybody to go. Home and people are like no fair
• 1:03:19
  no fun. Dude you just heard so many
• 1:03:22
  gunshots and a woman ran out of here bloody.
• 1:03:25
  Sounds like a good time. That's a good party right there.
• 1:03:27
  That's like Halloween last year when we were at the bar and,
• 1:03:30
  like, we decided it was time to go when an ambulance showed up.
• 1:03:34
  Yeah. We were like, yeah, this is this
• 1:03:36
  is just not the party, though. We're.
• 1:03:37
  Yeah, let's. Get out of here.
• 1:03:40
  Bo goes to go get the car and Cornbread makes his way back.
• 1:03:45
  Grace, no. OK, hold on.
• 1:03:49
  You're missing a couple of important plot points that make
• 1:03:52
  this make more sense. So Slim tells the party to
• 1:03:57
  disappear. Everybody's gotta get out.
• 1:03:59
  Annie tells Smoke she realizes what's going on.
• 1:04:02
  Annie, she's a smart one. She's like, we need to move his
• 1:04:07
  body outside. And Smoke is like, fuck you,
• 1:04:10
  we're not doing that. And she goes, you just lit up
• 1:04:13
  Mary, and nothing happened to her.
• 1:04:16
  I'm telling you, we need to move his body out.
• 1:04:18
  And this is where Grace wants her and Bo to go home.
• 1:04:21
  Bo's like, we need to be here for whatever's happening.
• 1:04:24
  This is important that we stay here.
• 1:04:26
  Also, it seems kind of dangerous outside from what they're
• 1:04:28
  saying. And she's like, our daughter's
• 1:04:30
  at home. And he's like, good point.
• 1:04:32
  Let me go get the car. And he thinks this is like a
• 1:04:35
  hate situation, which I've never heard of that before, but
• 1:04:38
  apparently it's like the you take the form of a different
• 1:04:41
  person type thing. Yeah.
• 1:04:43
  Yeah, yeah. So she's typical demonology kind
• 1:04:48
  of stuff. Which Travis is now halfway
• 1:04:50
  through Season 3 of Buffy. I was just not thinking of
• 1:04:52
  Giles. This is just like the Giles of
• 1:04:54
  this movie here. Yes, yeah.
• 1:04:57
  Something about having to go to a book.
• 1:04:59
  Yeah, Yeah, She doesn't know. Yeah.
• 1:05:01
  Cornbread comes back and he's like, all right, let me go in.
• 1:05:05
  And they're like, where have you been?
• 1:05:07
  He's like, I don't take a shit, let me in.
• 1:05:09
  Come on. And they're like, why are you
• 1:05:11
  asking? He goes because it's polite.
• 1:05:12
  And they're like, you've been in and out all night, Why do you
• 1:05:15
  need to be specifically asked? And this is where he starts
• 1:05:17
  getting a little hostile and. And he's like, you're not
• 1:05:19
  welcome in here. They try to shoo him off and he
• 1:05:23
  goes, what about my money? So Smoke reaches out to give him
• 1:05:27
  money, and then Cornbread grabs him, pulls him outside.
• 1:05:30
  There they managed to shoot him in the face, which doesn't kill
• 1:05:34
  him, but it does, you know, get him off of Smoke and he can get
• 1:05:37
  inside. He wasn't bit, but this is where
• 1:05:40
  they're realizing that they are dealing with some real shit.
• 1:05:44
  Stack is now away, alive, like in the room, and he's like
• 1:05:48
  banging on the door and saying hey guys, let me out, I'm all
• 1:05:50
  good now, you know, Like, yeah, I was bleeding pretty bad, but
• 1:05:53
  everything's OK now. And obviously Smoke is the one
• 1:05:56
  that's having a hard time with this.
• 1:05:59
  And eventually Stack breaks out of the room.
• 1:06:02
  He knocks down the door, he breaks out and he hits him with
• 1:06:05
  some pickled garlic juice. Garlic water.
• 1:06:07
  Yes. You know what?
• 1:06:09
  Yeah. Gross.
• 1:06:11
  It works even if I'm not a vampire like that.
• 1:06:13
  Shit's nasty. I'm getting the fuck away from
• 1:06:15
  you. Grace is panicking now.
• 1:06:17
  She wants to go find Beau and they're like that's and we need
• 1:06:20
  to stay in here until sunrise. Beau went out there alone.
• 1:06:24
  Hate to say he's probably a vampire or he's probably a Hank
• 1:06:26
  now. And he's, he's fucked.
• 1:06:28
  Yeah. Well, I think that they realize
• 1:06:31
  now that this is a vampire because that's where Andy's
• 1:06:32
  like, OK, this ain't hates. Like they needed an invitation
• 1:06:35
  to get in. That's a vampire thing.
• 1:06:37
  So she's going to give everybody the lowdown on the vampire war
• 1:06:40
  for this movie. Yeah, they can only be killed
• 1:06:42
  one-on-one. This isn't one of those where if
• 1:06:43
  you kill the master, everybody else is either killed or turned
• 1:06:46
  back human. Because we can't have an
• 1:06:48
  assistant. Vampire war in movies, people.
• 1:06:51
  Hey, but wooden stacks in garlic and sunlight and holy water
• 1:06:55
  still in holy water are still all consistent with this.
• 1:06:57
  Good thing we got preacher boy here.
• 1:06:59
  It's true, yeah. So yeah, they start prepping
• 1:07:02
  their tools and whatnot, and as they're going around doing
• 1:07:06
  stuff, they find a body in a big pool of dark looking liquid,
• 1:07:10
  drag him outside before he turns.
• 1:07:12
  And then as they're dragging him outside, they hear a vamp group
• 1:07:16
  that is much, much larger, quite a like everybody that left got
• 1:07:20
  turned. They're not really, it seems.
• 1:07:22
  Their own party out there. And I'm not going to lie, it
• 1:07:24
  looks like a fucking hoot. Like, like we got rhythmic in
• 1:07:27
  the center and he's doing his Irish dance, but everybody's
• 1:07:29
  just like circling around him and just like clapping along and
• 1:07:32
  he's like doing his song. The hive mind thing is really
• 1:07:34
  weird and those because everybody just like knows the
• 1:07:36
  lyrics. Exactly.
• 1:07:37
  Yeah, it's a good fucking. Time.
• 1:07:39
  Yeah, this is a fun way to play with the vampire lore.
• 1:07:41
  Like OK. I'm just going to say like, I
• 1:07:44
  know this movie, all vampire media is like vampire.
• 1:07:47
  It's not cool, man. It's not.
• 1:07:48
  You don't want to be 1. But every time I see it like I
• 1:07:51
  want to be a vampire, like it looks awesome.
• 1:07:55
  Counterpoint the argument. The tagline for Lost Boys is
• 1:08:00
  about how much fun it is to be a vampire.
• 1:08:01
  That's true. That movie is about how awesome
• 1:08:03
  it is to be a vampire. Like dirt bike off the fucking
• 1:08:05
  Cliff, trains coming at us no problem.
• 1:08:08
  Yeah, never grow old. Yeah, like honestly, I I just
• 1:08:11
  want to be a vampire after watching this.
• 1:08:15
  So now inside they're going to eat a garlic clove to try and
• 1:08:18
  weed out anybody that's a potential vampire in there.
• 1:08:21
  Such a fun play on that scene from the.
• 1:08:25
  Thing. I was thinking of the thing the
• 1:08:27
  entire time. And like Pearlene is like, I
• 1:08:30
  don't care for garlic. I'm like, too bad.
• 1:08:32
  And she like barely does it, but she doesn't she's she's.
• 1:08:35
  She knows it because they pull a fucking gun on.
• 1:08:38
  Her she's like, you are not a nice person.
• 1:08:41
  No, no, she's mad at Smoke because Smoke pulls a gun and
• 1:08:45
  then like you're an evil man and like Sammy's trying to stop him.
• 1:08:49
  He like busts him in the mouth. He's like, shut the fuck up.
• 1:08:51
  Like he goes bad there. But to be fair, just fucking eat
• 1:08:55
  it, man. Like it's reasonable if you like
• 1:08:58
  you are becoming suspicious if you're not going to eat.
• 1:09:00
  That, yeah. And then Delta Slim is the very
• 1:09:03
  last one to go, and he has an immediate reaction.
• 1:09:05
  And that's where it's a good subversion on the trope because
• 1:09:07
  he just, like, just choked on it.
• 1:09:09
  They drank too much. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:09:12
  All right, so now the man that was dragged outside.
• 1:09:16
  Wakes up because they realize, OK, well, none of us is a
• 1:09:19
  vampire. So that man outside was he
• 1:09:23
  actually turned this up? Was that blood?
• 1:09:24
  Because Mary and Stack didn't have time to go chew up anybody
• 1:09:27
  else. Yeah, they're like, so they go
• 1:09:28
  in and they check the puddle and the puddle is just spilled.
• 1:09:31
  Wine. Spilled wine.
• 1:09:32
  Yeah. And they start to go help the
• 1:09:36
  man who's waking up and very confused.
• 1:09:38
  He's like, I'll pay my tax. This suit, actually, he's not
• 1:09:41
  being polite like all the fake nice vampires out there.
• 1:09:43
  He's like, I'm going to fucking die, Lemian.
• 1:09:45
  Oh my God. Yeah, but he's too late.
• 1:09:46
  Cornbread gets him. Yeah.
• 1:09:49
  And then Beau approaches the door for Grace, and he's way too
• 1:09:52
  nonchalant because Cornbread is eating this man alive on the
• 1:09:55
  ground. And he's like, all right.
• 1:09:56
  You ready, Grace? It's like the he's the one like
• 1:10:00
  I, I can't get the connection to this guy right here.
• 1:10:02
  Like the remix is like, I don't know, there's something off
• 1:10:04
  about him. Like he's still like he's being
• 1:10:06
  too much of A vampire. He needs a real.
• 1:10:07
  Bad. Yeah, he's Yeah, too much of A
• 1:10:09
  newborn for this. Yeah, 'cause he's just like,
• 1:10:10
  he's got like the fucking eyes and his drooling, he's like, Oh
• 1:10:13
  yeah, cornbread. Yeah, he eats people.
• 1:10:15
  Like, come on, let's go. Yeah, come on, dude.
• 1:10:18
  Rimmick comes in. He is standing next to him and
• 1:10:21
  he's like, listen, I just want y'all to be part of my family.
• 1:10:24
  That music is beautiful. Help me see my ancestors.
• 1:10:27
  I want some more of that. Give me that.
• 1:10:29
  Give me that. Give me that again.
• 1:10:31
  I. Want it?
• 1:10:31
  He does the thing like look, this world doesn't want y'all,
• 1:10:34
  we want you. We're a big happy family
• 1:10:35
  everyday. Did you not see that dance?
• 1:10:37
  That shit was awesome. And then they're also like, no.
• 1:10:40
  And he goes, OK, well, I have all those memories.
• 1:10:42
  So I know that you've got a daughter at home, so I guess
• 1:10:44
  we'll go visit her. And that's, that's what
• 1:10:48
  activates Grace. And she is gonna be desperate to
• 1:10:51
  get out no matter what. And she's gonna put everybody
• 1:10:54
  else in danger because they're all getting their weapons ready.
• 1:10:59
  And she invites in the melee. Also Stack had his moment with
• 1:11:04
  smoke too. He tries to like convince him to
• 1:11:07
  become. Yeah.
• 1:11:07
  It's like, yeah, it'll be great. We can all be together.
• 1:11:08
  Yeah, yeah. So she says.
• 1:11:11
  Come on in, motherfuckers. And everybody comes in and it's
• 1:11:15
  just, it's a brawl. Yeah, this is where the screen
• 1:11:18
  gets wide and it's just a fucking like mayhem.
• 1:11:21
  Grace is burned to death. Annie is bit by stack.
• 1:11:25
  She holds smoke to his promise because she told him when they
• 1:11:28
  get webs together she's like, kill me before I turn.
• 1:11:30
  Yeah, she's and it's. Preemptively staked in the
• 1:11:32
  heart. And again, this is not like a
• 1:11:34
  typical horror movie where he would have hesitated.
• 1:11:38
  He was like, all right. But The thing is, like I
• 1:11:40
  thought, you have to wait for them to be a vampire to stake
• 1:11:42
  him. No, he just killed her.
• 1:11:45
  It went through the heart, so she couldn't turn to begin with.
• 1:11:48
  Yeah. I got you.
• 1:11:49
  Yeah, you can still kill a person.
• 1:11:53
  Delta decides that he's gonna sacrifice himself because he's
• 1:11:56
  like, look, the devil wanted me before earlier.
• 1:11:58
  He's like, if it's gonna get to any of you all, he has to go
• 1:12:01
  through me first. And they also realized Sammy is
• 1:12:03
  who Remix really going for, so they're trying to make sure that
• 1:12:06
  he can get out and Pearlene is bought is bit in the middle of
• 1:12:10
  all of this as well by Ramic. Sammy manages to run out as slim
• 1:12:15
  as like being sacrificed and Pearlene's dying.
• 1:12:18
  Pops out from the second story. Yeah yeah.
• 1:12:21
  Smoke is like distracting. He takes on Stack to like what
• 1:12:25
  amount? Yeah, happen.
• 1:12:26
  They're like little. It's a heavy moment and the two
• 1:12:28
  brothers are fighting. They're fighting.
• 1:12:31
  You mean Remic are fighting? Stack though, like he goes in to
• 1:12:34
  bite him, but he like there's like a little like steam thing
• 1:12:37
  like he's like he hesitates. Mojo Pouch.
• 1:12:39
  Mojo Pouch. It's the mojo pouch, was it?
• 1:12:41
  I really, I really believe it, I thought.
• 1:12:44
  It was because he had self-control.
• 1:12:45
  Like he was like, still like had a little bit of himself.
• 1:12:48
  No, I really think it was that mojo pouch.
• 1:12:50
  OK, well, we do see that he does have self-control.
• 1:12:53
  Though yeah we we know he does. But I think it I think he has
• 1:12:56
  more self-control once he doesn't have remic in his head.
• 1:12:58
  If he was a mojo, they gave him self-control.
• 1:13:02
  Sammy hits Remic with his guitar, which has like this
• 1:13:05
  silver piece inlaid on it, and that causes him, yeah, Froz's
• 1:13:10
  head and. That doesn't kill him though,
• 1:13:13
  but like. Smoke stake in him does, yeah.
• 1:13:15
  Smoke stake in him does, and then Sunrise kills the rest of
• 1:13:18
  the vampires. We didn't get much time with
• 1:13:22
  Vampire Purling. We even got like none of her
• 1:13:25
  really. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:13:26
  She just immediately died. Smoke gives Sammy the car keys.
• 1:13:30
  He's like, he's telling him, just go live your life, be
• 1:13:34
  happy, be safe. And then also, like I said,
• 1:13:37
  Sammy is sad about his guitar. He's like, that was Charlie
• 1:13:40
  Fatten's guitar. He goes, oh, it wasn't, that was
• 1:13:41
  our dad, I told. You that he's like yeah, stacked
• 1:13:44
  on me he's. Like, fucking lie.
• 1:13:46
  Like this is, again, it's some of the dichotomy between the
• 1:13:49
  twins, because Stack is the 1. He is the more empathetic 1.
• 1:13:53
  He is the one who wants there to be magic and happiness and yeah,
• 1:13:58
  once everyday, have a good time. Yeah, Smoke's the logical one.
• 1:14:01
  Yeah, So he gets his trunk from the back of the truck, rolls a
• 1:14:07
  cigarette and gets ready to kill a bunch of racist shitheads.
• 1:14:11
  He. Tries to roll a cigarette but
• 1:14:12
  his hands are too shaky. Poor guy.
• 1:14:14
  Giving him credit, yeah, he's a yeah.
• 1:14:17
  Yeah, so he's planning for the plan to arrive and we see them
• 1:14:20
  pull in and then as they're getting out of their vehicles,
• 1:14:23
  they start getting sniped from the field.
• 1:14:25
  Yeah, and I like this. He like he's shooting them.
• 1:14:28
  And then when he runs out of ammo, he had a little box, his
• 1:14:32
  crate, he was. So ready.
• 1:14:34
  Ready there? Boom, gets it open, starts
• 1:14:36
  mowing them down. There's a grenade in one of the
• 1:14:38
  trucks that's driving off and explodes it.
• 1:14:40
  He kills them all except for. Hogwood gets shot like through
• 1:14:44
  through his side and he's sitting there dying and smoke
• 1:14:48
  ass for a cigarette. Smoke got shot too.
• 1:14:50
  Yeah, smoke got shot too. Smoke is not long for this world
• 1:14:53
  in. The tummy.
• 1:14:55
  Cuz he took off his emoji pouch. Cuz he, he had one last thing to
• 1:14:58
  do and then he was going to go see his, his woman and his baby.
• 1:15:04
  He smokes a cigarette. And as he is smoking, Hogwood's
• 1:15:08
  blathering about something. He doesn't care because he's
• 1:15:10
  seeing Annie and their daughter. And she goes, you put out that
• 1:15:13
  cigarette, you can hold our daughter.
• 1:15:15
  And he snaps back for long enough to look at Hogwood.
• 1:15:18
  And Hogwood starts to say, honey, just shoot them a bunch
• 1:15:20
  in the head. And then we see him with his
• 1:15:23
  family. And yeah, see, that's the thing.
• 1:15:26
  Like it worked out for him because you get to be with like,
• 1:15:28
  because like earlier before and he's like, look, like I'm fine
• 1:15:31
  with going. I we have somebody waiting for
• 1:15:33
  us on the other side. So, you know, and he's like,
• 1:15:36
  this is him being at peace with dying and being with his family.
• 1:15:41
  I was supposed to say, I know it's a big moment right there.
• 1:15:44
  Oh, it's so bittersweet. And then?
• 1:15:48
  Sammy drives off and we see him. The end of the movie with him
• 1:15:51
  and then we're back to the beginning of the movie where he
• 1:15:55
  drives to the church, goes in, but this time we see he kept the
• 1:15:58
  guitar. Yep, and he's driving away and
• 1:16:01
  then. 60 years later, yeah, well.
• 1:16:04
  This is after credits. Yes, this is after credits.
• 1:16:07
  Oh, wait, no, no, this is during the credits, because we do see
• 1:16:10
  him actually playing during the credits here.
• 1:16:13
  But yeah, it's October 16th, 1992 in Chicago.
• 1:16:17
  Yep, he is playing at a club. We must assume it's his because
• 1:16:21
  it's called Purlins. He's thriving and after after
• 1:16:28
  closing time, he's told by the doorman that there's there's two
• 1:16:32
  guests that would like to come in.
• 1:16:34
  They're willing to pay extra, and when you know it, it's Stack
• 1:16:38
  and Mary. Yeah, this is cool.
• 1:16:40
  And they're like modernized too. So like they're in the 80s or
• 1:16:43
  not 80s, they're in the 90s. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, no, I
• 1:16:46
  was going to say this. Definitely early 90s.
• 1:16:48
  It's very reminiscent of like how I think of Fresh Prince, Bel
• 1:16:52
  Air, how Will Smith dressed. Yeah, so like, yes, Stack talks
• 1:16:57
  about like the whole thing that happened at night.
• 1:16:59
  Apparently Smokes spared him, but he made him promise to spare
• 1:17:03
  Sammy. He's like let you live out your
• 1:17:05
  life and he goes, you must be getting pretty close to the end
• 1:17:07
  of it. Wouldn't you like like to hang
• 1:17:09
  around, keep making music and things like.
• 1:17:13
  Yeah, this place is pretty shitty.
• 1:17:15
  And he said we have all your albums, you know, which is kind
• 1:17:19
  of sweet. I think he kept up with him.
• 1:17:21
  Yeah, Like, why not? I guess.
• 1:17:22
  Like he wanted to like let him live his life and not let him
• 1:17:25
  know that he's alive out there and worry.
• 1:17:27
  He was keeping his promise. Yeah, and that's not.
• 1:17:30
  The self-control that you were talking about.
• 1:17:32
  Yeah, exactly. And he's like, yeah, I don't
• 1:17:34
  like this electronic shit anymore, You know, I like the
• 1:17:36
  real, real like. Do you still have it in you and
• 1:17:39
  then? I like this point is like like
• 1:17:41
  if you heard recordings of the shit from back then, it sounds
• 1:17:43
  like shit and like it does but like man like this, this stuff
• 1:17:47
  back then was good son. It just sounds terrible now.
• 1:17:49
  Yeah, it's just the yeah, it's just the recordings of it and
• 1:17:51
  stuff, Yeah. So he he busts open the guitar.
• 1:17:54
  He had it repurposed. Yeah.
• 1:17:56
  And he plays the song that he played for him back then on that
• 1:18:00
  day and asked him if that was the best day that he had.
• 1:18:03
  He's like, that was the best day that I had.
• 1:18:05
  And then like, the guy's like, yeah, me too.
• 1:18:07
  Yeah, he's like, I wake up at least once a week paralyzed,
• 1:18:10
  still thinking about that. But until the sun went down,
• 1:18:12
  yeah, it was the best day of my life.
• 1:18:15
  And boom, that's a powerful ending right there.
• 1:18:17
  God I have goosebumps. Yeah, OK.
• 1:18:19
  And then there's an after after credit scene which is just Sammy
• 1:18:23
  at the church playing the Blues. Singing a bluesy version of this
• 1:18:26
  little Adam on. Yeah.
• 1:18:28
  All right, I'm 10. It's still 10.
• 1:18:30
  Yeah, still 10 for me too. Yeah, this movie is amazing.
• 1:18:34
  Talia. Talia was still in the music.
• 1:18:37
  Talia was still in a big time. Yeah, she was moving around a
• 1:18:39
  lot. Even the vampire, she's a little
• 1:18:41
  less scared of vampires now that we've been.
• 1:18:43
  She's a vampire herself. Yeah, she's a vampire.
• 1:18:46
  I think Talia, I think Talia would give this attention.
• 1:18:49
  She likes some good guitar. She does.
• 1:18:51
  She will get into some good bluesy guitar music.
• 1:18:54
  Yeah, I think so, yeah. Who's Zoe's ultimate warrior?
• 1:18:59
  She jumped up on the entertainment center.
• 1:19:01
  At one point in the middle, she. Did she's like I'm sinning?
• 1:19:05
  I'm a Sinner guys. That is a cat sin in this house,
• 1:19:08
  getting up on the entertainment. Center.
• 1:19:10
  They have free range of basically the whole fucking
• 1:19:13
  house. We just tell them not to get on
• 1:19:15
  the table. In the entertainment we like,
• 1:19:17
  don't get on, like don't get honest when we're eating.
• 1:19:19
  Don't get on the kitchen table or you get on the kitchen table.
• 1:19:22
  Don't get on the coffee table. Don't get on the coffee table,
• 1:19:25
  people. Don't get on the entertainment
• 1:19:26
  center, Don't get on the kitchen, the bathroom sink.
• 1:19:28
  Yeah, those are the only places that I don't want them, and
• 1:19:31
  those are the places that they want to be the most.
• 1:19:32
  I'm like you have everywhere else to be.
• 1:19:34
  Zoe was feeling herself. She's like, I'm, I'm.
• 1:19:37
  Zoe's ultimate warrior is standing because she goes
• 1:19:39
  against the wishes of her elders.
• 1:19:42
  She's like, I lied to you guys. I lied.
• 1:19:45
  I want to be up here. That's right.
• 1:19:47
  Like, what did you lie about, Zoe?
• 1:19:49
  We knew. OK, well who did you relate to?
• 1:19:56
  You know, I, I kind of related to Sammy because I remember my
• 1:20:00
  mom actually wanted me to do church music too.
• 1:20:03
  And there was a point in time I got into the Blues whenever I
• 1:20:06
  was right out of high school and I bought myself a guitar slide
• 1:20:09
  and I was learning how to play the Blues.
• 1:20:10
  Music too nice. Yeah, it was really cool.
• 1:20:14
  But just like him, that's not, I don't want to do that.
• 1:20:17
  It's just that's not a fun way to pursue that hobby.
• 1:20:20
  That's. Not the music that makes you
• 1:20:22
  feel the things that you need to feel to make good music.
• 1:20:24
  Exactly. Yeah, you know.
• 1:20:25
  It's different for everybody. Sammy was gifted.
• 1:20:30
  Yeah, more gifted than I was. Yeah, he can summon time and
• 1:20:35
  space. Yeah, I think you're a good
• 1:20:38
  musician, but I've never seen you do that.
• 1:20:40
  Well, you've not given me a chance.
• 1:20:43
  OK. Well, I'm challenging you.
• 1:20:45
  OK, OK. Who'd you relate?
• 1:20:48
  To man, probably Annie. I believe in that supernatural
• 1:20:53
  stuff. And I would be the first one at
• 1:20:55
  the bar after there was A tag to be like, are we sure it's not a
• 1:20:57
  vampire? Guys, are we sure?
• 1:21:00
  That hate a vampire. And I would let I would let
• 1:21:02
  little kids give me fake money in exchange for potions and sabs
• 1:21:07
  and stuff. Yeah, I think that's fair.
• 1:21:08
  You know, let the little kids learn about potions and all
• 1:21:11
  that. Yeah.
• 1:21:12
  OK, cool. All right.
• 1:21:16
  Do we have a new tagline? New.
• 1:21:18
  Tagline. Take a bite out of life.
• 1:21:29
  That's not bad. I'm trying to think of
• 1:21:34
  something. I felt like beating the devil,
• 1:21:35
  but using like music beat my brain can't.
• 1:21:40
  My brain can't make the connection there.
• 1:21:42
  Music beats the devil. Music beats the devil.
• 1:21:48
  Hook the devil with that bridge. Oh no, I don't know.
• 1:21:53
  This is a tough one to do. Sorry, now I'm now I'm just
• 1:21:57
  hearing Hook by Blues Traveler in my head.
• 1:22:00
  It's what brings you back, man. The chorus hook the devil.
• 1:22:05
  What? The chorus.
• 1:22:08
  This part's the structures of the song, the chorus, the hook.
• 1:22:10
  I didn't get that. Hook, as in like you know it
• 1:22:13
  killed him. It's a stretch that's a little
• 1:22:15
  stretchy. Well, fine then I'm.
• 1:22:18
  Just I'm being honest with you, all right?
• 1:22:25
  Yeah, the devil went down the quark still, actually.
• 1:22:31
  I like that one. I do like that one cuz yeah, I
• 1:22:40
  like that one. Devil went down the quark still.
• 1:22:42
  Yeah. OK, I'll see that then.
• 1:22:43
  OK. All right, do we have a dream
• 1:22:46
  sequel? That's a tough one.
• 1:22:51
  Oh, no. It'd be hard to do a sequel to
• 1:22:54
  this. Yeah, realistically speaking, I
• 1:22:56
  don't want this to be standalone, but let's think of
• 1:22:58
  something. No, actually, shout out to Chad,
• 1:23:01
  our friend Chad, also Bubby of the Patreon.
• 1:23:04
  Yeah, he he proposed A prequel and he did.
• 1:23:08
  I'm going to steal it. When did he say that?
• 1:23:10
  Yeah, it doesn't matter what. Yeah, I was going to say
• 1:23:13
  sometime. We saw him after after seeing
• 1:23:15
  sinners he wants a prequel of smoke and stack when they were
• 1:23:21
  in the war like finding world. He's like, I just want to see
• 1:23:24
  them like just killing a bunch of Nazis, which I understand
• 1:23:28
  Nazis are World War 2, but they make this a trip.
• 1:23:32
  Yeah, OK, so just killing a bunch of people in the war, that
• 1:23:35
  could be interesting. Yeah, that'd be a different
• 1:23:37
  movie. It would be a war movie.
• 1:23:38
  It'd be a different kind of movie, but I would watch.
• 1:23:40
  I would watch the shit out of it.
• 1:23:41
  Yeah, I'd, I'd be into that too. They're interesting characters
• 1:23:44
  to follow. I guess like having, well,
• 1:23:46
  that'd be cool also. I think part of the mystery of
• 1:23:49
  their past though, is also part of the the draw to the
• 1:23:52
  characters here. Like, you know, it adds to it,
• 1:23:55
  but there's a way you could do that for sure.
• 1:23:58
  It'd be a lot of fun. OK, cool.
• 1:24:01
  All right. Well, then with all of that out
• 1:24:02
  of the way, I think it's time for us to do reviews.
• 1:24:04
  OK, OK, so. Did you manage to put out a call
• 1:24:08
  for reviews? I did OK, yes, I did it early
• 1:24:12
  yesterday because I've been getting some of them late, yeah,
• 1:24:15
  and I have not been able to include some of them into the
• 1:24:18
  episodes. So to system.
• 1:24:19
  Pointing. Yeah, but I, I did it like
• 1:24:22
  yesterday in the morning. That way I made sure to give
• 1:24:25
  people time. So I I grabbed one from IMDb.
• 1:24:29
  It's a 3 out of 10. It's titled From Dusk Till Dawn
• 1:24:33
  for idiots. It's reminiscent of From Dusk
• 1:24:36
  Till Dawn insofar as it's one type of movie for about 2/3 of
• 1:24:40
  its runtime. And then some vampires show up
• 1:24:42
  and it becomes a goofy fight for survival in an abandoned club
• 1:24:45
  featuring the smarter half of a pair of criminal brothers.
• 1:24:48
  You put it that way. It actually like there's a lot
• 1:24:52
  of similarities. Between the two, I'm trying to
• 1:24:54
  argue but. You can't it really.
• 1:24:56
  Like honestly it's very similar. The difference being that From
• 1:25:02
  Dusk Till Dawn was self consciously, unapologetically
• 1:25:05
  trashy. Sinners tries to be all smug and
• 1:25:07
  profound and comes off as far stupider because of its
• 1:25:11
  pretensions. The legend of Robert Johnson
• 1:25:14
  gets masticated into pap and mixed into the kind of pseudo
• 1:25:18
  intellectual low brow gruel that Hollywood spent a decade trying
• 1:25:22
  to foist onto its nauseous customers.
• 1:25:26
  I disagree, I don't think it comes across as smug or holier
• 1:25:30
  than thou. I don't either.
• 1:25:31
  I think this. Movie is talking a lot about how
• 1:25:33
  there's good and bad in the world and you got to make your
• 1:25:37
  own decision and. This type of movie definitely
• 1:25:40
  could have done that if it was done by the wrong person.
• 1:25:42
  I think this person, this movie comes across as sincere to me.
• 1:25:45
  I don't really feel like there's anything hokey about it or like
• 1:25:48
  hand fisted. Even the bad stuff, like the
• 1:25:51
  smutty stuff doesn't actually feel smutty, you know what I
• 1:25:54
  mean? Like where they're being
• 1:25:55
  sinners. It's just like, this is our idea
• 1:25:57
  of what Santa knows. But what's bad about it?
• 1:26:00
  You know what I mean? I think, I think there's a
• 1:26:03
  little bit. There's definitely a different
• 1:26:06
  level of taste between the two movies.
• 1:26:07
  Yeah. And you know, like to some
• 1:26:10
  people maybe it is a little bit like up its own butt, I don't
• 1:26:13
  know. I don't really get that
• 1:26:14
  impression though myself. But I cannot argue that.
• 1:26:18
  From dusk till dawn comparison, that is.
• 1:26:20
  A perfect comparison that I want to argue that, but I can't
• 1:26:24
  actually argue it. I don't even know why you want
• 1:26:26
  to argue that that's perfect. I think Stack is like Dumber
• 1:26:30
  than Smoke. I think he's just like he's he's
• 1:26:33
  the bleeding heart and Smoke is the numbers guy.
• 1:26:36
  I. Don't think Quentin Tarantino's
• 1:26:38
  character is Dumber either. I think he's just, like, he
• 1:26:40
  can't control his impulses, you know, very similar types of
• 1:26:44
  things. I think just.
• 1:26:45
  Yeah, unnecessarily. Definitely goes hardcore in a
• 1:26:47
  completely different tone. All right.
• 1:26:50
  And then listener reviews. I do have one.
• 1:26:52
  OK, It's from, Tucker says. In fact, I'm doing remic for
• 1:26:55
  Halloween Should speak for itself.
• 1:26:57
  Rich, heartfelt and brutal. Nine O 10.
• 1:27:00
  Are you bringing that to Scare Fest this year, Tucker?
• 1:27:02
  That would be awesome, dude. Yeah.
• 1:27:04
  Are you going to play the guitar, banjo, whatever
• 1:27:06
  instrument he's playing? Shout out to another one of our
• 1:27:09
  patrons, Joe Freakatron. This is his.
• 1:27:11
  This is his name. Sent a shot of of Sinners
• 1:27:16
  cosplayers at Dragon. Playing the three of the
• 1:27:18
  vampires there and they actually had the instruments and were.
• 1:27:21
  Yeah, that was really cool. Yeah.
• 1:27:24
  Yeah. OK, cool.
• 1:27:25
  Well, I'm glad that Tucker, if you are going to be a remic, I
• 1:27:30
  hope you do bring that to Scarefest.
• 1:27:33
  You always nail the finer details of your cosplays.
• 1:27:35
  Seriously. Yeah, very.
• 1:27:38
  Tucker is really good at his cosplays.
• 1:27:41
  Yeah. OK, Cool.
• 1:27:42
  All right, Well, I'm glad you liked it.
• 1:27:43
  I'm glad that the consensus seems to be that everybody loves
• 1:27:46
  this movie except for that one guy who likes from Dusseldon
• 1:27:49
  more. Yeah.
• 1:27:50
  Which do you think? Yeah.
• 1:27:51
  Do. You forget about.
• 1:27:53
  Yeah, forget about. All right, so that's it for this
• 1:27:56
  one. I have to tell you guys if you
• 1:27:59
  wanna watch Leatherface 2017. Leatherface is the next movie on
• 1:28:03
  the show next week. That's right, we're talking.
• 1:28:06
  About You can watch it for free on Sling TV.
• 1:28:09
  Stream it on Peacock YouTube, Primetime Prime.
• 1:28:13
  It requires add on. Doesn't say what add on.
• 1:28:16
  That's the ones that you're listing there.
• 1:28:19
  The ones that you can get, that's the all prime premium.
• 1:28:22
  Is basically that OK? YouTube TV, you can also rent it
• 1:28:26
  from Google TV, Apple TV, or if anything, go at home.
• 1:28:29
  We're talking about it. I know we've been like kind of
• 1:28:31
  hyping how unexcited we are for this, but what if we end up
• 1:28:35
  liking it next week? It's a possibility.
• 1:28:38
  Yeah, we're gonna. We're gonna go into it open
• 1:28:40
  minds and open hearts help you guys do too, but.
• 1:28:42
  Give it a second shot. It's possible that this is going
• 1:28:45
  to be a terrible week. Terrible.
• 1:28:47
  But I think it's also fun when we have movies that we hate
• 1:28:50
  because, you know, sometimes, you know, it's a completely
• 1:28:53
  different type of episode where we have to make.
• 1:28:55
  Our own fun. Yeah, you know it can be good.
• 1:28:57
  Don't think that's going to be bad automatically.
• 1:28:59
  I'm not going, yeah, I'm not going to go into it with that.
• 1:29:01
  Just I'm nervous because it took us three tries to watch it the
• 1:29:05
  first time, so. Yeah, that's true.
• 1:29:07
  Well, we got we got to do it in one take this.
• 1:29:09
  Time do it, yeah. All right, so you know where to
• 1:29:11
  watch it. Yeah.
• 1:29:12
  If you want to do your homework, then go ahead and do that.
• 1:29:15
  Or you can just listen to us talk about it and suffer.
• 1:29:19
