  any poll results. Listen, when we normally would
• 1:30
  have posted our polls, we were at our very first Comic Con and
• 1:34
  it was a lot of fun. There was 0 cell service.
• 1:39
  It was hard enough for us to get out our call for reviews.
• 1:41
  It felt like it was directed mostly towards you for some.
• 1:45
  Reason I couldn't, Yeah, it took like.
• 1:48
  I'm not. I'm not joking when I tried.
• 1:51
  When I say that I tried to post my Buffy cosplay about 20 times
• 1:55
  to Twitter, it just wouldn't go through.
• 1:57
  I don't know. I think every, like the universe
• 2:00
  was like in notice that everybody was impressed with
• 2:03
  your phone. Yeah.
• 2:05
  And then there's like, you know what?
• 2:06
  She's got a little bit too much over there.
• 2:07
  We gotta take something from her.
• 2:08
  Yeah, I'm so glad. So we finally got new phones
• 2:12
  about two months ago or so. Yeah, and I got the razor, cuz I
• 2:17
  never had one as a child. So I got the the new Razor Plus,
• 2:22
  and it's got a little front screen, and when you take
• 2:26
  pictures with it, it'll actually give you the preview of the
• 2:28
  picture if somebody else is holding the phone.
• 2:30
  So every time we're taking a picture, the person will go,
• 2:33
  whoa, wait, I can see myself. So you know Motorola.
• 2:38
  Feel free to sponsor us if you see a, say, a burst in your a
• 2:43
  spike in your razor sales. We're not sponsored by them, but
• 2:46
  we might as well have been, because I remember you told so
• 2:48
  many people yesterday, It's Razor.
• 2:50
  Yeah, they were like, what is? This.
• 2:52
  I was like a sunny razor. It's like they would come over
• 2:55
  like, whoa, what is that? Krillin had the most fun with
• 2:58
  it. Yeah.
• 2:58
  So he was doing this thing where he was like having everybody,
• 3:00
  like, zoom up to their phones and it still caught us off
• 3:03
  guard. I mean, then we watched three
• 3:04
  people in front of us do it. Yeah, but he had the most fun
• 3:08
  with it, 'cause he could see his own face.
• 3:09
  He was like that would. Be great for movies.
• 3:13
  Yeah, it was cool. It's a good time.
• 3:14
  Yeah. We had a lot of fun, but it does
• 3:16
  unfortunately mean that we don't have a poll.
• 3:17
  Yeah, I'm sorry about that guys. That's my that's my fuck up.
• 3:20
  I will take full responsibility. So that's that announcement.
• 3:24
  Do we have any other announcements?
• 3:26
  I don't. Think so.
• 3:28
  I don't. Think we do either?
• 3:29
  Actually. Yeah, well then, how about we
• 3:31
  get into Would you rather, Would you rather we get into would you
• 3:35
  rather? What's my other option?
• 3:37
  That, or continue talking about Comic Con.
• 3:41
  Tough choice. You got 15 seconds.
• 3:45
  Now let's go ahead. Let's get into the movie.
• 3:46
  Let's get into the. Movie, Yeah, OK.
• 3:48
  We posted a lot about Comic Con on our social media, so if you
• 3:52
  wanna see our pictures from that and ask those questions there,
• 3:54
  please do so. We're very We've already been
• 3:57
  answering some questions that people had about the people we
• 3:59
  met, OK? So would you rather early State,
• 4:03
  October 14th, 2012, it premiered at Scream Fest.
• 4:07
  This is an IFC film by the. Way, Yeah.
• 4:11
  What's it called? IFC, IFC channel.
• 4:13
  IFC channel? Yeah.
• 4:14
  So I think they are. Really.
• 4:16
  Producer. Yeah.
• 4:17
  International Film. Channel.
• 4:20
  No, it can't be channel because it's at IFC channel.
• 4:22
  That would be International Film Channel Channel.
• 4:25
  But maybe it is like people do that shit all the time.
• 4:28
  We're we're Googling this shit. Go ahead, keep talking.
• 4:31
  Vamp away. OK.
• 4:33
  Well, it premiered there and it had, it's at wide release
• 4:36
  January 18th, 2013. That's when it premiered on DVD.
• 4:40
  We watched it on Hulu, but if you wanted to watch it anywhere
• 4:44
  else, you can currently watch it on Hulu, AMC Plus 2B, or you
• 4:48
  have to rent it. They're the wrong ones.
• 4:51
  It's not IFC channel, it's just IFC.
• 4:54
  It's just IFC. Yeah.
• 4:55
  So it does stand for channel. Yes.
• 4:57
  It's got OK. Yeah, yeah.
• 4:58
  It is independent, no independent film channel.
• 5:02
  Independent film channel. Yeah, where you can see all the
• 5:04
  truck trucks for your heart. Desires.
• 5:09
  OK, so yeah, you can rent it on Amazon, Apple, YouTube, it's all
• 5:12
  for like $3. We have been made aware recently
• 5:15
  though, if you watch things on tubing they may be cutting
• 5:18
  certain parts of the content, so I don't know.
• 5:24
  It's select movies from what all I've seen.
• 5:27
  Yeah, the way things are going with Tubi, who knows what the
• 5:30
  fate of our monthly bonus episode will be going forward?
• 5:35
  Yeah, we, we might have to like, change the name of it or
• 5:38
  something. So I think it's still important
• 5:39
  for us to look at those free streaming channels for folks
• 5:41
  that I agree don't have the same access.
• 5:45
  But Tubi's fucking up, so yeah, let's see if the backlash pays.
• 5:48
  Off sexy new logo or no it's not.
• 5:50
  That sexy. It's purple, Travis I.
• 5:53
  Would dare you Purple and yellow.
• 5:54
  Good colors. It's royal royalty.
• 5:57
  All right. Written by OK, I'm going to fuck
• 6:00
  this up probably. We practice it.
• 6:02
  You can do we practice it. But I'm still.
• 6:04
  So it's this man. OK?
• 6:06
  Has a very intimidating last name just from the amount of
• 6:09
  letters in it. OK.
• 6:10
  It's Stefan Schwartenhoffen. Schockedenhoffen.
• 6:15
  Schockedenhoffen, Schockedenhoffen.
• 6:17
  There you go. Schockedenhoffen there.
• 6:18
  We go, OK? Hey, listen, I told.
• 6:20
  You we we've. Watched and discussed Boomer
• 6:22
  Cleef on multiple occasions. We've watched it once, but
• 6:28
  we've. Discussed it on multiple
• 6:29
  occasions is what I was saying. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 6:31
  Yeah, yeah. So you can say Schockedenhoffen.
• 6:34
  Schuckenhoffen, Directed by David Guy Levy Music by Daniel
• 6:41
  Hurt and Barty Johanneson, and special effects make up by Chris
• 6:44
  Bear and Josh Russell. OK, cast on this, we have
• 6:49
  stacked. Cast man.
• 6:50
  It really is sneaky stacked cast here.
• 6:52
  So leading it off, we have Brittany Snow who is playing
• 6:55
  Iris, Jeffrey Combs as Shepard Lambrick, Johnny Coin as OK, let
• 7:02
  me already do that one that. Was that's like a ten letter
• 7:05
  name. You can do that one.
• 7:10
  It's spelled weird. OK, come on, now.
• 7:12
  Look, I even I I started writing Johnny one way, and then I saw
• 7:15
  it was just not the right way. So I was like, God damn it, I'm
• 7:18
  off to a bad start already. All right, Johnny Coyne plays
• 7:21
  Bevins, and we're God damn it. This name again?
• 7:27
  Go Koch GJ. OK, AJ.
• 7:35
  Go chick. Go I'm trying my best people.
• 7:40
  I I probably should have looked some of these.
• 7:42
  Jokage. Jokage.
• 7:44
  That's. What I would go with, yeah.
• 7:46
  All right Inver Jokage as Lucas, Sasha Grey as Amy, Rob Wells as
• 7:51
  Peter, Eddie Steeples as Cow, Charlie Hofheimer as Travis,
• 7:56
  John Herd as Conway, June Squibb as Linda, Robin, Lord Taylor as
• 8:02
  Julian and Logan Miller as Raleigh.
• 8:05
  Riley. Riley.
• 8:06
  God damn it. I'm just terrible with names
• 8:08
  today. I'm sorry.
• 8:09
  I'm sorry, what's the name of Rob Wells character?
• 8:12
  Peter Bite. There you go.
• 8:14
  Bite, Bite or Ricky. I just call him Ricky.
• 8:17
  He is Ricky. He is Ricky in this movie, like
• 8:21
  100%. He is the most articulate
• 8:25
  version of Ricky, but he's still Ricky.
• 8:26
  He still has Ricky as he's my. Favorite Duggan's.
• 8:32
  OK, unfortunately I don't have a lot of stuff here, but let's go
• 8:37
  ahead and get into our budget or bug Ted.
• 8:39
  OK, Budget. Too late.
• 8:42
  You did it. I.
• 8:43
  Fucked it up, man. I'm sorry.
• 8:44
  I'm. Fine, go ahead.
• 8:46
  I'm gonna say it's a bug, Ted. Let's still do our chant.
• 8:48
  We gotta do our chant. Budget or come on.
• 8:53
  All right, This is falling apart.
• 8:55
  This is going bad. All right?
• 8:56
  I promise. I'm gonna be.
• 8:58
  I'm gonna get everything right going forward.
• 9:00
  OK. I'm sorry.
• 9:01
  Yeah. I don't have budget information
• 9:02
  on this. I don't have box office
• 9:03
  information, and I don't have much else other than that.
• 9:08
  It's. Made by the Independent Film
• 9:09
  Channel. I think it's safe to assume that
• 9:11
  it's. I think it's Bug Ted, but I
• 9:13
  think it's on the upper end of Bug Ted just based on some of
• 9:15
  the names they. Have no.
• 9:16
  I've got some like just a few things about the budget
• 9:20
  constraints and the fun facts. So it definitely is bug Ted, but
• 9:24
  I do have the IMDb score and that is 5.7 of Tim.
• 9:28
  Hella rude. I'm I was kind of surprised
• 9:30
  about that myself. I'm yeah, especially like online
• 9:34
  we've seen nothing but love for it.
• 9:36
  So I'm kind of surprised it. Wasn't too hard to find bad
• 9:39
  reviews on. How was it?
• 9:41
  Not from like our people I don't.
• 9:43
  I see I usually try and not read the reviews until we do the
• 9:47
  show. So like, I take a screenshot,
• 9:49
  but I don't ever actually read the contents.
• 9:51
  I couldn't avoid it. Oh, you've read some?
• 9:54
  Some of them. Oh, come on, Jesse.
• 9:56
  All right, I've got 3 movies that came out in 2012.
• 10:00
  The theme that I went with is basically like torture porn.
• 10:05
  Ish. Slash.
• 10:07
  Well, yeah, pretty much just torture porn stuff.
• 10:09
  Yeah. So the first movie is Shiver
• 10:12
  that released February 2nd, 2012.
• 10:16
  There. It stars Daniel Harris.
• 10:19
  Oh, that's why it's on. Yeah, I.
• 10:21
  Don't think we've ever seen it. Yeah, but that's where I would
• 10:24
  have heard. Of it before, yeah, same.
• 10:25
  Yeah. Has a budget of $4 million,
• 10:29
  don't have the worldwide gross on it.
• 10:30
  And the IMDb is 4.3 out of 10. OK, yeah.
• 10:34
  I don't know if it's any good or not, but yeah, I guess I saw her
• 10:38
  there. And usually if you get somebody
• 10:39
  like her, like, oh, give it a. Watch And so Danielle and Scout
• 10:44
  were at, not our Scout, but Scott, Taylor Compton.
• 10:48
  They were at Scarefest last year and we were talking to her about
• 10:51
  among friends and how we're excited to watch her first
• 10:56
  directorial debut. And she was a little bit kinda
• 10:59
  like not crazy to talk about it, I think.
• 11:01
  She's kind of mad that we even brought it up.
• 11:03
  She like had no merge from that at her table at all, but she was
• 11:06
  like, oh, me and Scout are actually trying to put together
• 11:08
  our own production company and I saw that they are currently
• 11:10
  working on their like I think their first project together as
• 11:15
  like with that company. Oh that's cool.
• 11:16
  Yeah, I saw her post something about how it feels really good
• 11:19
  to be back directing again or something.
• 11:20
  So. I hope it goes well.
• 11:21
  Yeah, I really hope it does. 'Cause I don't wanna ask her
• 11:24
  about it next time we see her, and it'd be another awkward
• 11:26
  situation. I kind of like I just want to
• 11:32
  troll her really hard and not in a way.
• 11:36
  Like I love her and I want to see how she handles it.
• 11:39
  Like if we found a physical coffee of among friends and had
• 11:42
  her sign it or where I want to do a Tina Cos play if I just
• 11:45
  came up with a Princess costume and.
• 11:48
  Yeah, I don't think that there are DVDs made of friends if I'm
• 11:55
  being for real. I think that that's purely
• 11:57
  streaming, like digital, yeah. From a screenshot.
• 12:01
  We'll do like a bootleg copy of it.
• 12:04
  I'll get that would creep her out.
• 12:06
  OK, moving on. Security.
• 12:09
  Movie #2 Excision. OK, that's.
• 12:13
  I don't think we've watched that either.
• 12:14
  The synopsis of it sounds a lot like American Mary, which also
• 12:18
  came out this year. OK.
• 12:19
  It's somebody that is wanting to be a doctor and they are just
• 12:23
  practicing on a bunch of people to do so.
• 12:27
  OK. And it aligned, I'm assuming.
• 12:30
  Not in like the legit kind of way where you have like a body
• 12:33
  you check out from the the hospital.
• 12:35
  No, like actual people. Yeah, like a living people
• 12:38
  needing help. Or I don't.
• 12:39
  Maybe not even needing help. Maybe just like taking random
• 12:42
  people and be like, hey, I'm going to like, do the surgery on
• 12:44
  you. Your spleen's not essential,
• 12:46
  David. Yeah, that came out November
• 12:49
  2nd, 2012. No budgets.
• 12:51
  Worldwide gross 2757 dollars. OK.
• 12:56
  OK. IMDb Highest of the Moai here.
• 13:00
  It's 6.1 out of seven. Wow.
• 13:03
  Apparently a good movie. OK yeah.
• 13:05
  And the final movie, Truth or Dare, The one that we covered on
• 13:10
  the show? Episode #2.
• 13:12
  British Truth or dare? Yep, exactly.
• 13:14
  Yeah. That worried to all of our
• 13:17
  British friends and listeners. That one, actually, I feel like
• 13:20
  it's the closest to this movie because it's torture porn, but
• 13:24
  it's also presenting options of like a game.
• 13:28
  Type scenario. Yeah, that's a good movie.
• 13:30
  I recommend people check that out.
• 13:32
  That released August 6th, 2012, $1 million budget and $2.5
• 13:36
  million worldwide gross. IMDb score 5.6 OK, so
• 13:43
  unfortunately I only have one tagline.
• 13:46
  Just one, just. One tagline I know, and it's not
• 13:48
  that great either. It is.
• 13:51
  Keep telling yourself. It's just a game.
• 13:53
  Oh, that is really lame. Yeah, come on.
• 13:55
  Like, why? Like, I don't think there's any
• 13:56
  doubt that it's just a game. That would be great for a John
• 14:01
  Kramer origin story movie. That is true.
• 14:04
  That would be very good for one of those.
• 14:06
  Unfortunately, not what we got here.
• 14:09
  Yeah, So we'll have to, we'll have to come up with something
• 14:12
  better than that at the end of the episode here.
• 14:14
  All right. So I do have some fun facts.
• 14:17
  Not a whole lot out there for this one, but I did manage to
• 14:20
  pull some stuff here. So this movie was shot in July
• 14:23
  2011 in Pasadena, Woodland Hills and in Los Angeles.
• 14:28
  It was shot entirely in sequence, which Jeffrey Combs
• 14:31
  says is a very rare thing to do in Hollywood movies, and he
• 14:35
  actually credits it for the performances that they have here
• 14:38
  because it allowed them to build the tension of each scene more
• 14:41
  organically. Yeah, yeah.
• 14:43
  No, I like that. They weren't having to, like,
• 14:45
  force any of it. I I mean, I I feel like that
• 14:48
  would have. Part of, yeah, it's part of
• 14:50
  acting. But also it is kind of nice that
• 14:53
  they were able to do that. I always like when movies do
• 14:55
  that because it does feel a little bit more organic.
• 14:57
  I agree, and he mentioned that usually the processes, they
• 15:01
  always start with the end, and he says he doesn't understand
• 15:05
  the thought process for doing that, but he like being able to
• 15:08
  build up to the end. That way he would actually be
• 15:11
  able to put himself in his character's shoes to get that
• 15:14
  performance. I mean, at this point in his
• 15:16
  career, I think Jeffrey Comes is pretty good at playing a madman.
• 15:20
  He is. It's a different type of madman,
• 15:22
  though. Yeah, like he's a little bit
• 15:24
  more sinister in this one compared to Reanimator.
• 15:27
  Yeah, and the only other movie of his that we've covered on
• 15:30
  this show thus far. I still know what you did last
• 15:33
  summer. He was just a very annoyed hotel
• 15:36
  manager. I forgot that he was in that
• 15:38
  movie. Oh my God, you're right.
• 15:40
  But he was a reasonable red herring because he was just so
• 15:43
  fucking annoying. Yeah, not annoying.
• 15:46
  Annoyed. Really.
• 15:47
  You could just kind of throw him in any horror movie and you're
• 15:50
  like, keep an eye on that guy? Yeah.
• 15:52
  Yeah, even if you're not the villain, you're for sure red
• 15:56
  herring. I see that.
• 15:57
  Mustache. OK, so the budget was very
• 16:02
  limited. They had Jeffrey comes in an
• 16:05
  interview, was talking about how difficult it was to be able to
• 16:07
  find the wardrobe for his character.
• 16:10
  Because he's such a wealthy character, he's got to have like
• 16:13
  a $5000 suit, but they don't have $5000 for a suit.
• 16:17
  Yeah, so they ended up actually renting part of the wardrobe
• 16:20
  from the Warner Bros wardrobe. Oh, I thought you were about to.
• 16:25
  My brain went to Rent the Runway, which is like an actual
• 16:28
  thing people can do if they need like a fancy outfit for a single
• 16:31
  night and they don't want to go out and buy it.
• 16:33
  I've never heard of that run the runway.
• 16:35
  Yeah, it's a like legit website. Oh, maybe they should have done
• 16:38
  that. I don't know.
• 16:39
  But they weren't able to get double s of any of the costumes,
• 16:42
  so that is part of the reason why for it.
• 16:46
  Yeah. Well, part of it.
• 16:47
  Well, no, more like why it wasn't so gory, despite there
• 16:52
  being a lot of, you know, visceral acts going on in this
• 16:57
  movie. Like you don't really have blood
• 16:58
  flying everywhere. I think the most bloody moment,
• 17:01
  obviously the stab, but also things were shaken.
• 17:05
  Well, that, but also when shit goes flying everywhere and it
• 17:08
  could get on, everybody would be whenever Peter's hand blows up.
• 17:12
  Yeah, yeah. Oh yeah.
• 17:13
  And also in the interview, the guy for some reason asked if he
• 17:19
  had any desire to want to look up Sasha.
• 17:23
  Grey's like filmography because he figured out that he was going
• 17:27
  to be working with her. And he's like, no, like
• 17:31
  everybody kind of has like, you know, their own past with films
• 17:34
  and stuff like that. And for those that don't know,
• 17:36
  Sasha Grey is a porn star and this is like kind of out of out
• 17:41
  of the norm for her. I don't really know if she has
• 17:43
  much of an acting career. She's in one other movie with
• 17:46
  the little Hobbit boy. Little Hobbit.
• 17:49
  The main one. Frodo.
• 17:51
  Elijah Woods. Elijah Woods.
• 17:52
  Yes, he's in a movie or she's in a movie with him, but I don't
• 17:56
  really know if she has much of an acting thing.
• 17:58
  But maybe is it? It's that one.
• 18:01
  Where? Windows.
• 18:02
  Yes, OK. That's.
• 18:03
  It that's the that's the one I would expect her to be in.
• 18:05
  Yeah, but I thought it was weird that they're like, yeah, so did
• 18:08
  you like, go and check out her porn whenever you found out
• 18:10
  you're going to be working with her?
• 18:11
  And he's like, yeah, not really. She was actually kind of shy and
• 18:13
  kept herself most of the time. Yeah, that's that's a creepy
• 18:17
  question to ask. I thought it was too.
• 18:19
  The implication is definitely Sasha grey.
• 18:21
  Would you want to bang her? Like I I I saw.
• 18:25
  His work. Pornography, like porn actresses
• 18:29
  are do like they're doing a fucking job.
• 18:30
  Calm down. Yeah, And I just thought it was
• 18:33
  really weird that he asked that question and then published it
• 18:36
  in a news article. It was so weird.
• 18:39
  And I like that he basically shut it down.
• 18:40
  It's like, I mean, no, like, she's just like an actor.
• 18:43
  Respect. Yeah, it was cool.
• 18:45
  Speaking of Sasha grey, she actually did an interview, too.
• 18:48
  She states that all of Amy's actions were just a front and a
• 18:50
  performance. She said that her character is
• 18:53
  actually nothing like the Amy that we see on there.
• 18:57
  She had so much pain and suffering that she decided to
• 19:00
  embody the person responsible, her husband, which I thought was
• 19:03
  interesting because the every time I've watched this, I've
• 19:06
  always just thought Amy is just like a fucking terrible person.
• 19:09
  So I've got a lot of thoughts on that that I'll discuss when we
• 19:13
  get to our discussion on the movie.
• 19:15
  I was. I was thinking about it a lot.
• 19:17
  So we'll table that one for now, yeah.
• 19:19
  All right. Final thing I have so the
• 19:22
  Lambrick Foundation is actual or it's an actual like publishing?
• 19:26
  I'm so glad you looked. That up because when the movie
• 19:29
  started, it said the Lambrecht Foundation Presents.
• 19:31
  We were both like, wait, no, that's that's Jeffrey Cones's
• 19:34
  character's name. Let me start over.
• 19:36
  It is in the movie, a production company for this movie.
• 19:41
  OK, so it opens up saying the Lambrecht Foundation presents
• 19:45
  and then it goes into Would you rather?
• 19:47
  I don't think it's done anything else.
• 19:48
  However, I got curious, so I went on to Google and I did the
• 19:53
  Google search of it. They have an actual website, a
• 19:57
  functioning website. Still, I went there.
• 19:59
  It's creepy as hell. Like, it looks so natural.
• 20:03
  They have merch. They have like all kinds of
• 20:06
  shit. They have social media and I go
• 20:07
  there and like the social media is an old one.
• 20:09
  The Last Post was from 2013 talking about would you rather,
• 20:13
  But I did take a screenshot of the about us page here.
• 20:17
  So. Says the Labric Foundation's
• 20:21
  mission, unchanged since 1913, is to help develop humanity's
• 20:24
  potential throughout the world. Today, we pursue this mission by
• 20:28
  helping people and communities prepare for, withstand, and
• 20:31
  emerge stronger from any emerging challenges that may
• 20:33
  come their way. To achieve these goals, we work
• 20:36
  at the intersection of four focus areas, health, the
• 20:39
  environment, academics, and the arts to aid opportunity whenever
• 20:43
  and wherever possible. Together with partners and
• 20:46
  grantees, the Landbrick Foundation strives to propel
• 20:48
  humanity forward. OK.
• 20:50
  What 4 areas was it? Health, the environment,
• 20:55
  academics and the arts. OK.
• 20:57
  Did I not say that? No, you did.
• 20:58
  I just, I'm trying to figure out if there's any possibility that
• 21:02
  like the other characters like might represent some of those
• 21:06
  different areas because we know that Iris and Linda were both
• 21:10
  pulled from the clinic, so that would be health.
• 21:13
  So I'm just trying to think of like, but it's clear Amy's
• 21:17
  character, was there something to do with her husband killing
• 21:21
  their daughter? There's.
• 21:22
  A lot of environment. Yeah, Callaway clearly had
• 21:26
  substance abuse issues that, even though he got sober, was
• 21:29
  still reeling with the effects from that.
• 21:32
  Peter's a gambler. Travis is a vet, so there's an
• 21:36
  easy, like, connection to that. We don't get much about caller
• 21:40
  Lucas, Yeah. So it could be part of.
• 21:43
  That they're the wild cards. Yeah, I thought it was
• 21:46
  interesting, though, because, like going there, it kind of
• 21:48
  gives a little bit of war. Yeah, I was, when I was reading
• 21:52
  some of the interviews from Jeffrey Combs, he was talking
• 21:54
  about where he was coming from with the character.
• 21:57
  He was under the impression that this is something that's been
• 22:00
  going on within his family for generations.
• 22:03
  Which is the impression the movie gives.
• 22:05
  So. Yeah.
• 22:06
  And he pointed out one thing that him and the director both
• 22:10
  shared. But like when you look at the
• 22:12
  clock that they used to, timeless, it's a very ancient
• 22:15
  clock. So it kind of like symbolizes
• 22:18
  that this has been going on for a long time within the family.
• 22:22
  So it just they just keep passing it down to the next
• 22:24
  generation. Yeah, I thought that that was
• 22:26
  interesting. I never really took that from
• 22:28
  that. I thought it was just him, but
• 22:31
  seeing this right here where they've actually kind of done a
• 22:32
  little bit of world building, like that's really interesting.
• 22:35
  And I think the way he talks to Julian about it, about like how
• 22:38
  it's, you know, there's a certain way that the game must
• 22:41
  be played to maintain its integrity.
• 22:43
  I got the impression that had been going on for a while.
• 22:45
  OK, so yeah, that's that's my phone fax.
• 22:48
  OK, so there we go. All right, all right.
• 22:51
  So let's get into our discussion.
• 22:53
  Good, bad, ugly, and absurd. Jesse, what did you like about
• 22:56
  it? OK, well, as long as this isn't
• 22:59
  like your first episode or two here, which of it is?
• 23:02
  Hi. Hey.
• 23:03
  If it's not, then you already know that this is like one of my
• 23:07
  favorite subgenres of horror, which is sadistic games.
• 23:12
  In a single location? In a single.
• 23:13
  Location. People pitted against each
• 23:16
  other. Not entirely sure why they're
• 23:18
  there. Yep, for sure, guys, this is
• 23:21
  Jesse's jam right here. It really is.
• 23:24
  So it's got that going for it. It and it it does the whole it.
• 23:29
  I kind of like that they don't focus as much on the gore
• 23:32
  because you know it's happening. You don't necessarily have to
• 23:35
  see it. Shame for the effects artists
• 23:37
  not really getting to play around a whole lot.
• 23:39
  But then probably we're like, OK, we don't, we don't have a
• 23:42
  big budget. So it's, you know, we got a
• 23:45
  couple lashes here and there and a bona pan, yeah.
• 23:49
  Yeah. So I I think that it kind of
• 23:51
  helps us focus a little bit more on the crux of the story which
• 23:56
  is like you know your your moral, your morals like what are
• 24:01
  you willing to do for what gain or lack of consequence.
• 24:07
  So I think that that it this is one of those movies that poses
• 24:11
  that kind of question really well, 'cause it's so easy to
• 24:14
  have a movie like this and it just have no purpose or meaning.
• 24:17
  And even though this ultimately is a very kind of nihilistic
• 24:22
  movie, it does really touch on the heart of, like, what are you
• 24:26
  willing to do? Yeah, I like it too.
• 24:29
  Because everybody, everybody's always played that game.
• 24:32
  Would you rather, you know, it's like a fun, hypothetical game to
• 24:35
  play, and it's kind of fun to be able to just watch it be played
• 24:38
  out with like these stakes. No joke.
• 24:40
  OK, at an old job I had one time we were playing would you
• 24:43
  rather, And one of the questions was would you rather get
• 24:48
  $1,000,000 but someone somewhere in the world dies, you don't
• 24:51
  know who, or have your bank account emptied?
• 24:56
  And every single person aside from me chose the $1,000,000.
• 25:02
  And they're like, but it's $1,000,000.
• 25:04
  I'm like, yeah, but it's like it's blood money and like,
• 25:07
  they're like, but then your bank account's empty and I was like,
• 25:09
  bitch, my bank account's basically already empty.
• 25:12
  It's fine. I can rebuild it, and I'd at
• 25:15
  least be rebuilding it without that.
• 25:17
  But then this movie adds in the fact that you are now complicit
• 25:21
  in torture and murder. Like, I think that's why that
• 25:25
  final round, it forces the person to shoot.
• 25:29
  So that way they are the ones that did the murdering.
• 25:32
  And I think it's yeah, it also you you have that question of
• 25:36
  when you walk away, like what are going to be the consequences
• 25:39
  for you, 'cause I wouldn't put it past this family to find a
• 25:44
  way to frame you all for the things that happened or turn you
• 25:48
  into some sort of a social or legal pariah.
• 25:51
  I could see that, but I feel like, I feel like they probably
• 25:57
  sweep everything under the rugs. I think that they probably have
• 26:00
  themselves well, I feel like they have other people.
• 26:04
  They've got the doctor like a hospital on their bankroll, you
• 26:07
  know what I mean? They probably have some corrupt
• 26:09
  cops there too. Absolutely.
• 26:11
  And that's what I'm saying. The people that choose to walk
• 26:13
  away, what are going to be the consequences for them?
• 26:18
  And that's interesting because I feel like they do kind of touch
• 26:21
  on that a little bit because the Doctor is basically his pawn
• 26:24
  now. Like, yeah, he got what he
• 26:26
  wanted, but now he is like he has to do anything that Shepherd
• 26:33
  asks him. And he is the one that won the
• 26:35
  game. So what happens to the people
• 26:37
  that walk away from all of that? Because those are the people
• 26:40
  that are going to walk away thinking that they're not owned
• 26:42
  by the Lambricks, but by virtue of the fact that they made it to
• 26:45
  the final round, they still kind of really are.
• 26:49
  So I I just, I think that this movie is very succinct in how it
• 26:53
  does all of this. It layers in a lot of little
• 26:56
  things like that. I think there's a lot of
• 26:58
  interesting hints into the character's backgrounds, like
• 27:00
  Amy's character, which we'll get to in a minute.
• 27:04
  And I think that that's really nice and interesting and there's
• 27:06
  a lot for you to like read in between the lines with.
• 27:08
  And I always like that in a movie.
• 27:10
  It's like something that you get a new surprise every time you
• 27:13
  watch a movie or a new take on something.
• 27:16
  Yeah, I agree. Yeah.
• 27:17
  Cool. So what was your good?
• 27:19
  So a lot of it was stuff that you had already said, but I no,
• 27:23
  that's OK. I feel like they had a lot of
• 27:26
  really good variety with the the challenges that they presented
• 27:30
  because yeah, like you said, like you could go super like
• 27:33
  brutal and gory with it. But I feel like that they they
• 27:36
  targeted the things that people have these innate fears of.
• 27:41
  Yeah, and it really does the whole like, simple is better,
• 27:43
  kind of. Thing.
• 27:45
  So like drowning, like not super, you know gory to watch,
• 27:48
  but everybody's going to think about that like losing oxygen.
• 27:52
  Everybody kind of knows what that feels like, and it's
• 27:54
  terrifying to think of, like the little cutting your eye thing
• 27:58
  that everybody says. Fuck.
• 28:00
  That. Absolutely not.
• 28:02
  Yeah. Like the whole time I was
• 28:03
  watching that scene, I was thinking about like any time
• 28:05
  I've accidentally put my contact on inside out and like my whole
• 28:07
  day is ruined because it's so painful.
• 28:09
  Like I can't imagine. Yeah, so you know, they did a
• 28:14
  good job with that. Like just things that play on
• 28:16
  like their primal fears. I feel like the cast and
• 28:19
  characters are amazing. Jeffrey Combs plays evil way too
• 28:23
  well. Yes, like he's so fucking good
• 28:25
  at being the sinister asshole. Like a?
• 28:27
  Sinister hassle, but he's just like so charming as well that,
• 28:31
  like, he's very unique as an actor and I love it.
• 28:35
  Yeah, he did a great job. You know, like with Reanimator,
• 28:38
  he's kind of, I mean, he's a bad guy because he came up with the
• 28:41
  Reanimator juice, but he's not the bad guy of the movie.
• 28:44
  And he's also like you're willing to go along on the
• 28:47
  antics with him because he's magnetic on screen.
• 28:49
  Yeah, he's got that charm too, and it really helps.
• 28:52
  So yeah, that was pretty much it.
• 28:54
  OK, OK, bad. It's not my bad, and I get it.
• 28:58
  This is Iris's movie, like that makes sense.
• 29:01
  This is her story. She's and they can only they
• 29:04
  need to show her story. So that way we root for her and
• 29:08
  we need to see just enough of other people's stories to see
• 29:12
  why they're there and feel sympathy for them without
• 29:16
  ultimately turning against Iris. So it's a very delicate balance.
• 29:21
  I don't know if it's what she was given to work with, if it's
• 29:26
  some of the choices she made for herself, if it's her acting as a
• 29:30
  whole. I don't know, because I do not
• 29:32
  know any of Sasha Grey's other work.
• 29:35
  We have seen open windows. I could not tell you a thing
• 29:37
  about that movie. Yeah, I forgot most about it
• 29:39
  too. So I can't tell you what her
• 29:41
  acting was like in that. So I and like this is to be very
• 29:44
  clear, this is not me shitting on Sasha Grey and I just want to
• 29:46
  put that out there as a disclaimer because I think a lot
• 29:48
  of people like to take that as a low blow, which makes no sense.
• 29:51
  Yeah, I feel like people focus way too much on the fact that
• 29:55
  she was a porn star and just not really thinking of her as an
• 29:57
  actor here. And also, porn is still acting
• 30:00
  like you. Yeah, I mean, it's probably a
• 30:03
  lot more acting than do. You think they'd be enjoying all
• 30:06
  the fucks they're getting now? So let's Yeah, let's be clear.
• 30:12
  This is not me like, denigrating her.
• 30:14
  I struggle with the Amy character because there's a lot
• 30:17
  going on there. And that ultimate reveal right
• 30:20
  before, like in that second to last round where Shep so
• 30:25
  callously says, are you going to try and do the burial and
• 30:29
  understand what your daughter was living through when your
• 30:31
  husband drowned her to death? Suddenly we get this big drop
• 30:35
  and a lot of her character choices kind of makes sense, but
• 30:39
  you have to do too much work to get there to think about like,
• 30:43
  oh, what has she been going like?
• 30:45
  It's not just that she went through the pain of losing her
• 30:47
  child, and her husband probably, presumably was also abusive to
• 30:51
  her, but like, what kind of legal issues was she's having?
• 30:54
  The way she styled? It's very like, and obviously
• 30:57
  all of these people are not upper class because they're all
• 31:00
  struggling with money in some way, shape or form.
• 31:02
  But she's got a very kind of like, this is the nicest dress I
• 31:06
  could find at Walmart. And I don't mean that to
• 31:08
  denigrate Walmart. I love Walmart.
• 31:09
  I have several Walmart dresses. I'm just saying where everybody
• 31:12
  else has at least department store.
• 31:15
  For a an event that's like black tie required.
• 31:19
  Yes, she's wearing. Yeah, like a junior's dress with
• 31:22
  her bright pink bra straps showing.
• 31:24
  And it's, it feels like a very specific wardrobing choice.
• 31:29
  And it makes me wonder what kind of legal trouble she went
• 31:32
  through, what happened to her, you know, cuz it's recovering
• 31:36
  from a domestic violence situation, the traumatic loss of
• 31:39
  her daughter to a murder. Like, there's so much that's
• 31:44
  packed in there and it leaves you wanting to know a little bit
• 31:47
  more. And I wish we could have layered
• 31:48
  in a little bit more of her story throughout.
• 31:51
  Same with all of the other ones. Like there's little hints and
• 31:55
  pieces there. And I like I said, I get it.
• 31:57
  It's a delicate balance. They have to keep us mostly
• 32:00
  focused on Iris. So that way we continue rooting
• 32:02
  for her even when bad choices are having to be made.
• 32:06
  But I think it would be a little bit more impactful for those
• 32:10
  kinds of moments where you're like, oh shit.
• 32:12
  Yeah. That way you can see where
• 32:13
  everybody's coming. From Yeah, cuz up until that
• 32:15
  point, Amy's just despicable. And I don't feel like the goal
• 32:20
  or the objective should be for us to root for Iris, because I
• 32:24
  feel like we understand already that everybody here, not
• 32:27
  necessarily bad people, just all in very bad situations.
• 32:32
  So being able to root for everybody here, I feel like, you
• 32:35
  know, that wouldn't be an issue. Like you can still focus mainly
• 32:38
  on IRS, But yeah, give us like a little bit more.
• 32:41
  Of and I think the background. I can't believe I'm going to say
• 32:43
  this. So I love this movie, but when I
• 32:48
  think of torture porn, that's just violence for violence sake.
• 32:51
  It's vile. Oh yeah.
• 32:53
  And they have a similar kind of moment in this movie where one
• 32:59
  woman like it's, you know, everybody's like, has divided up
• 33:02
  how they're going to do this share equal load whatever.
• 33:04
  And then one of them kind of goes hog wild and causes a lot
• 33:08
  of distraction and it causes the group to turn on her.
• 33:10
  So it's a similar premise of like, oh, are we working
• 33:13
  together? No, fuck you.
• 33:14
  I'm just going to try and make sure I get out if you're alive.
• 33:17
  And I felt like that was they had no nuance with it, but I
• 33:22
  think it worked for it. You know what I mean?
• 33:24
  Like if you're going to have like nuance the way they do in
• 33:26
  this movie throughout, you need to have little bit more in
• 33:30
  there. Not just like this drop at the
• 33:31
  end that like, yeah, you know, cuz I I don't.
• 33:35
  It's so at the climax of the movie to have that whiplash of
• 33:39
  going from. I do not like this person cuz
• 33:41
  she's nasty. Not even just that she doesn't
• 33:44
  want to play the game with the other people.
• 33:45
  She's just straight up nasty to how she talks to them to Oh my
• 33:49
  God, there's so much more going on with her.
• 33:52
  It is so. Distracting right there at the
• 33:54
  end when everything is coming together.
• 33:57
  Yeah, So, yeah. I I wish we just had a little
• 33:59
  bit more build up to that. All right, I can agree with
• 34:02
  that. The bad that I have for this is
• 34:07
  the whole subplot thing that we get going on with the Doctor
• 34:11
  just amounts to nothing. And it feels like it was filler
• 34:16
  for the movie because really it has no impact other than like
• 34:21
  maybe Iris getting free and having that moment with Julian.
• 34:26
  But you know, it didn't need to be done in the way that it did.
• 34:30
  Like it just kind of they brought the Doctor character
• 34:33
  back and they just made it. They hyped it up to make it seem
• 34:37
  like there was it was going to be like some kind of thing, but
• 34:39
  it just nothing ever materialized from it.
• 34:43
  I just it felt pointless. I wonder if maybe it was kind of
• 34:46
  like what you were saying earlier about how now the Doctor
• 34:48
  is like, owned by the Lambrecht Foundation.
• 34:51
  I wonder if it's kind of meant to be a hint as to like what her
• 34:54
  future is, if she's going to have to be scouting people,
• 34:57
  things like that. Yeah, I mean, maybe.
• 34:59
  But the whole thing is he has had enough of it.
• 35:02
  He's just going over there to like, end it, you know?
• 35:05
  It ultimately becomes nothing because it yeah, it is so
• 35:08
  anticlimactic. We spend a lot of time watching
• 35:10
  him drive over there, which I will say this I do appreciate
• 35:14
  that. They showed us him drinking,
• 35:17
  thinking over that conversation, feeling regret, getting a gun,
• 35:19
  driving, and they layer it in between all of the other scenes.
• 35:23
  So a we get like a little bit of a breakup from the dinner table.
• 35:27
  So we can still have that tension going on.
• 35:29
  Yeah. But they also don't just show us
• 35:32
  him getting a gun and then suddenly he's in the basement.
• 35:34
  I do like that they did that because other movies have done
• 35:36
  that. They'll be like, oh, they'll
• 35:37
  figure out that he was getting the gun to come here.
• 35:40
  I. Mean it does break things up.
• 35:41
  But I mean if that's there are other things that could have
• 35:45
  been done like you know, like I don't know like show us shit
• 35:48
  with like bevins and the wait staff.
• 35:50
  I don't know like in between rounds.
• 35:51
  Or I'm sorry, I believe you mean Duggan's.
• 35:54
  Duggan's Yeah, I don't know. And the only other thing is
• 35:57
  like, I know that we, like, have a conclusion, but ultimately it
• 36:02
  just feels like there's no real payoff in this movie.
• 36:05
  Like you feel you just feel shortchanged.
• 36:07
  And that might be what they were going for, but that leaves
• 36:10
  people with a bad feeling. I definitely think it was meant
• 36:13
  to be a This was all for nothing.
• 36:15
  Yeah, I it was meant to be. As our favorite detective from
• 36:21
  Tusk would say, one fuck of a bummer.
• 36:24
  It sure was. So what do you have for your
• 36:27
  uglies? The fact that people are a in
• 36:31
  this situation where they are so desperate for money that they're
• 36:35
  going along with this. I mean, think about her
• 36:38
  character, IRS and Riley. They were orphaned recently and
• 36:43
  he's got cancer and so she had to drop out of school and try
• 36:48
  and deal with all of this. Just the fact that medical bills
• 36:52
  and a tragedy like that can also add further tragedy like having
• 36:56
  to sell your family home. Where are you going to live?
• 36:59
  She needs to get a job. She has no experience because
• 37:02
  she's probably 20 fucking years old and so she can't get a job.
• 37:07
  And even if she can get a job, she's going to have issues with
• 37:10
  it because her brother is always needing to go to doctor's
• 37:13
  appointments, which isn't his fault.
• 37:15
  But they are alone in the world and struggling with this, and
• 37:17
  it's the same for all those other people at the table.
• 37:20
  We've got Travis, and we don't know what's going on, but it's
• 37:23
  highly implied that he's got a lot of PTSD as a result from his
• 37:27
  time in the Iraq war, and he's clearly not getting help with
• 37:30
  the resources available to him. We've got Callaway, who did the
• 37:34
  hard work of getting sober, and because our society stigmatizes
• 37:39
  substance abuse and we don't have the resources that is
• 37:42
  needed for everybody with that, he's clearly still struggling
• 37:45
  with so much stuff. So I think that as a whole is
• 37:49
  really ugly. And also this whole like the
• 37:52
  Lambricks, like they're like, oh, we're helping you, you poor
• 37:55
  unfortunate souls. But like, they're so on their
• 38:00
  high fucking horse, like having money makes them superior.
• 38:03
  And I do think that that's a very realistic thing we see in
• 38:07
  society. I am not saying that all rich
• 38:09
  people are assholes, but I am saying there are definitely rich
• 38:12
  people that think they are morally superior just because
• 38:15
  they have money, and that people that the poor's out here are
• 38:19
  poor because we make bad choices, and not just because
• 38:22
  sometimes that's how life fucking goes so.
• 38:25
  Yeah, you know, I think he pretty much summed it up like, I
• 38:28
  don't have anything like you. You got it covered.
• 38:31
  You covered all the bases. Like the ugly is pretty up front
• 38:35
  and center with this movie. It doesn't hide.
• 38:37
  Also, the fact that Julian appears to be like a serial
• 38:40
  rapist. Yeah, well, OK, that for sure is
• 38:43
  something extra to and it's really dark to think about what
• 38:49
  his dad was like. OK, I don't want to repeat of
• 38:52
  last year. And then you're like, OK, what
• 38:53
  the fuck did he do last year? And then that scene happens.
• 38:56
  It's like, oh, he probably did that shit last year.
• 38:59
  Yeah, and it seems like Shep is very much a boys will be boys.
• 39:03
  What's he going to do? He doesn't have a mother.
• 39:05
  Y'all don't know shit about tragedy anyway.
• 39:07
  No, I don't think that he actually felt that way.
• 39:09
  I think he went up there and like, fucked him up.
• 39:12
  I wish that when Shep was like ever since he lost his mother,
• 39:17
  he's lacked self-control. I wish that IRS had been like
• 39:20
  bitch, I just lost both my parents and now I'm my brother's
• 39:23
  caretaker. I haven't gone around nobody.
• 39:26
  Yeah, that would be it would be long time maybe because, you
• 39:30
  know, maybe that would not go well for her, but.
• 39:33
  Probably. Not.
• 39:33
  But it would be nice, it would feel so good to put him in his
• 39:36
  place like that. Like, OK, yeah, motherfucker.
• 39:38
  What about this? No, like, I mean, he, yeah has
• 39:43
  no control over Julian and he, the whole thing with him him in
• 39:48
  this movie is he loves having this control over the other
• 39:52
  people like this money gives him the power over everybody there,
• 39:56
  but he doesn't have his power over his son.
• 39:59
  Because his son already has money.
• 40:00
  Yeah, and his son is a Dick and his son does not want to listen
• 40:03
  to him. And it's an interesting dynamic
• 40:05
  there. But man, his son just sucks
• 40:07
  hard. That actor is also in accepted,
• 40:11
  by the way. He's in a lot of things.
• 40:13
  He played the Penguin in the Gotham TV series, OK?
• 40:18
  He he just always plays that guy like the fucking asshole.
• 40:22
  And it's he's always got that like emo hair look, you know
• 40:25
  what I mean? Yeah, yeah, he he just always is
• 40:28
  like he's got a punchable face. Really.
• 40:30
  He He plays a good, punchable person.
• 40:33
  OK. OK, absurd.
• 40:36
  OK, so when we see the doctor, Doctor Varden, he goes and he
• 40:40
  gets his gun and there's like built in's in his hallway and
• 40:42
  I'm like, well, I love a built in.
• 40:44
  However, this house looks very small for a Doctor Who was given
• 40:47
  essentially unlimited funds by this foundation.
• 40:50
  And then later at the end of the movie, when Iris comes home and
• 40:52
  she's putting her stuff up and she's getting her towel out of
• 40:54
  their linen closet, it's the same fucking built in.
• 40:57
  They thought I wouldn't notice. I I get it, I get it.
• 41:02
  Limited budget, have to reuse a set.
• 41:04
  He's going to be in that house for all of 5 minutes, but you
• 41:08
  didn't count on somebody. Yeah, I didn't even notice it.
• 41:14
  But when you called out, I was like, whoa, my God, you're
• 41:16
  right. But I do also love the
• 41:20
  alternative head cannon. That Doctor Barden doesn't own a
• 41:24
  gun, but he knows that. Iris and Riley's parents, I
• 41:27
  thought. Of that into.
• 41:28
  Their house and stole it. I actually did think about that.
• 41:32
  Like, did he go to her fucking house?
• 41:34
  It'd be funny if she just came home and he's just there, like
• 41:37
  with A at the stove, just cooking breakfast.
• 41:40
  Like, Yep, got some scrambled eggs going for you, Iris.
• 41:43
  When he comes down the basement and points the gun in.
• 41:45
  Julian, he's like, get a virus, we're going home.
• 41:47
  And she just, I'm like, is that my dad's pistol?
• 41:51
  It's like your bum living with what do you think bought the
• 41:54
  house He bought the house OK. My absurd is that Peter is 100%
• 42:04
  Ricky. I have my own head cannon that
• 42:06
  that is Ricky from Trailer Park Boys doing one of his schemes to
• 42:10
  get money to buy the trailer park, which is a thing that
• 42:13
  happens in the show many times. I love that.
• 42:18
  Really though, like he acts exactly like like Ricky.
• 42:21
  I don't know if it's because Rob Willis doesn't have a lot of
• 42:23
  range. Well, and also because when they
• 42:26
  do all of their press stuff for Trailer Park Boys, they play
• 42:29
  their characters. So I don't know if Rob at this
• 42:33
  point knows where Rob ends and Ricky.
• 42:35
  Begins. They're 100% in character, like
• 42:38
  all the time public appearances. It's kind of exhausting, I would
• 42:41
  imagine for them more absurds. I think just seeing Shepherd
• 42:47
  have to constantly remind Julian to not be an asshole when he in
• 42:52
  fact is being an asshole to everybody.
• 42:54
  Like, he's like, don't be sarcastic, but then he's like,
• 42:57
  he'll go up there and he'll give like a sarcastic kaline to
• 42:59
  everybody else in the room. He's like, no, that's my shit,
• 43:03
  don't steal my lines. In his head, he can justify it
• 43:05
  the way he's doing it, but nobody else can.
• 43:08
  Yeah, and Bevins is just the best fucking bowler.
• 43:11
  It's kind of absurd, like seeing how well oiled that machine is
• 43:15
  right there. If I was a maniac billionaire, I
• 43:18
  would for sure hire Duggins. He he is intense.
• 43:24
  He is no nonsense. He does it all and he does it
• 43:28
  built like a Lego man. It just made me think like,
• 43:32
  what's this guy like in his downtime?
• 43:34
  Does he? He has no downtime.
• 43:36
  He is on 100% of the time. Is he like one of the Trailer
• 43:39
  Park Boys? He has to be 100% in character
• 43:41
  no matter what. Yeah, OK, probably.
• 43:44
  It's a good character. He's very intense.
• 43:47
  OK, that's it for absurd. So what do you rate it?
• 43:51
  I think this is a solid 8 1/2. OK, I'll give it an 8.
• 43:56
  OK. So we're starting off with an
• 43:58
  average of 8.25 and I think that is quite appropriate.
• 44:03
  That's very good. See it all right.
• 44:05
  OK, so it starts off with Iris interviewing at her restaurant.
• 44:09
  She's only got retail experience.
• 44:11
  She had to drop out of school because there was a recent
• 44:14
  accident and she needs to care for her brother.
• 44:16
  And the interviewer's like they really only wanted to hire
• 44:18
  experienced servers, which I'm calling bullshit unless this is
• 44:22
  like a high class restaurant. And we can see from being inside
• 44:29
  the restaurant that it is not, it's a very like, it looks like
• 44:32
  it's like a franchise, a Texas Roadhouse maybe.
• 44:34
  Yeah, like, as they call it on the tails from your server
• 44:37
  subreddit, TGI Chili Bees. Oh.
• 44:40
  Really. Yeah.
• 44:41
  So it's dead. Like they they live off of
• 44:44
  people with no experience that are desperate for money and will
• 44:47
  work stupid hours. She's their target demographic.
• 44:50
  It feels like everybody should get like should be able to get a
• 44:54
  waiting job. I have been declined for one
• 44:56
  before whenever I've applied. But you know, I don't know.
• 44:59
  Maybe. I like I have too, but not
• 45:01
  because of the no experience, just because I'm like awkward in
• 45:04
  interviews sometimes and they're like she doesn't have good
• 45:07
  tableside manners. Like writing down on here like
• 45:12
  the guys probably like. After asking about why she moved
• 45:15
  back, it's like bummed me out. Not a good waiter.
• 45:19
  Will she be able to have small talk with her clients?
• 45:23
  Probably not. He's.
• 45:23
  Gonna talk about your fucking brother every time somebody
• 45:25
  comes here to eat, not happen him.
• 45:28
  Yeah, and he's like, maybe we can get you a hosting position.
• 45:32
  So Yep, whatever. Back at home, she tells her
• 45:35
  brother Riley that she's gonna go talk to Doctor Barden about
• 45:38
  cutting some of the costs. And he's being a little bit
• 45:41
  Moody because, you know, he's dying and his parents are dead,
• 45:44
  which is fair. It's.
• 45:45
  Understandable, man. He's kind of a Dick in this
• 45:47
  movie, you know? What I mean, yeah, we don't get
• 45:49
  enough screen time with him to get.
• 45:51
  I want them to have more of a sibling relationship and not
• 45:54
  just us Seeing him where he is, like already made this decision
• 45:58
  about his own life. Yeah, no, I I understand from
• 46:01
  his perspective being super upset about the circumstances,
• 46:05
  but she is. She's doing what she can and he
• 46:08
  makes a joke that she's going to go give him a blowie or
• 46:11
  something to reduce their cost. That's your fucking.
• 46:14
  Sister dude, don't be putting her down.
• 46:15
  She's already having a hard time as it is.
• 46:17
  And she's like, yeah. Cool.
• 46:19
  Thanks. That's exactly what's going to
• 46:20
  happen. Yeah, no, he he just is kind of
• 46:24
  a little asshole sometimes. But I mean like he's a teenager
• 46:27
  and teenagers, I've said I said it before, I will say it again,
• 46:30
  teenagers are assholes regardless of their
• 46:32
  circumstances. And he's got worse circumstances
• 46:34
  the most. That's true, yeah.
• 46:37
  So she gets to the clinic and there's a sweet little looking
• 46:41
  old lady by the name of June Squid.
• 46:44
  There, in a wheelchair, is the actress's name.
• 46:47
  I like that. Or your last name's Squibb.
• 46:49
  What do you think? She's ever had to wear Squib.
• 46:51
  I hope so. Yeah, it's.
• 46:53
  What a waste if not, you know. Yeah, they like.
• 46:57
  They give the command like, All right, I'm going to need you to
• 46:58
  go squib, squib, squib. Squib Squib.
• 47:05
  Anyway, she's rolling into the clinic and Iris holds the door.
• 47:08
  Because Iris is a bit of a Mary Sue in this movie, and she's
• 47:12
  just perfect all around. And Linda's like, thank you.
• 47:15
  Nobody's ever held a door for me, which I call bullshit.
• 47:17
  You're 80 years old and in a wheelchair.
• 47:19
  People are probably always holding doors for you and.
• 47:21
  People generally hate. People like that.
• 47:24
  So she meets with Doctor Barton and Shep is in there and he is
• 47:31
  eating. Peanuts.
• 47:34
  I think pistachios maybe something with shells and he's
• 47:38
  just dropping the shells on the couch cushion and that's like a
• 47:41
  tweed type couch. And you know, like the little
• 47:44
  bits of the shell are never going to get out of that fabric,
• 47:47
  even if you vacuum it like five times.
• 47:49
  I really, if I have one change to make in this movie, it would
• 47:53
  be, I would just like to like see like serious conversation
• 47:57
  between the doctor and Iris and then you just see like shells
• 47:59
  flying and hitting the doctor. But he has to like keep a
• 48:02
  straight face the entire time. He's just like throwing shit the
• 48:05
  entire time. Like, yeah, I've got this
• 48:07
  foundation I can set you guys. Like an Infinity pool where he's
• 48:11
  where he's. Yeah, his baby James is throwing
• 48:14
  the cherries at the other table. Yeah.
• 48:16
  Exactly. Yeah.
• 48:17
  Just exactly like that. Except, like, this guy's like, I
• 48:19
  got to take the shit. I I owe him my life now.
• 48:24
  Yeah, that couch is ruined. Yeah.
• 48:28
  But yeah, he said that she was invited to a dinner party.
• 48:32
  They like to meet people that they're considering providing
• 48:37
  some funding for. And he said that their
• 48:39
  foundation can basically set her up for life, pay off her parents
• 48:43
  debts, get her back to school. And and she's like, well, my
• 48:46
  brother needs more than money. He needs a bone marrow
• 48:48
  transplant and he's like, oh, I didn't just need money.
• 48:53
  So the implication being that they're going to steal somebody
• 48:55
  off the street with the same. Seems that way, yeah?
• 49:00
  So she's like, well, I need to think about it.
• 49:03
  And he goes, well, you have until 8:00 PM to RSVP and we
• 49:07
  will send a card for you. Which how late does this fucking
• 49:09
  dinner party start? Yeah, and this is, and she's
• 49:12
  like, all right, is this for real?
• 49:13
  And then the doctor's like, Yep, and this is for real.
• 49:16
  He actually did the same thing for me.
• 49:18
  And Doctor Barden has a scar on the side of his face, So I kind
• 49:21
  of wonder what stuff he had to do.
• 49:23
  Yeah, he had, like, a little bit of scarring.
• 49:25
  Oh, wow, interesting. So yeah, it probably is a result
• 49:28
  of that. Yeah, and I didn't see it on the
• 49:30
  actors IMDb page, so I'm assuming it was like a very.
• 49:33
  Good catch. Yeah, yeah.
• 49:34
  But he's like, yeah, like, I went through that shit.
• 49:36
  I won the game. The guy paid me back tenfold.
• 49:39
  So this is like widget, so don't worry about it, yeah?
• 49:42
  So back at home, she's cooking for her brother and.
• 49:45
  She's like you doing the bad English accent, except she's
• 49:48
  trying to do an Italian accent. I think.
• 49:50
  She's going for French, but she's cooking pasta and her
• 49:54
  brother's annoyed because he's like, it wouldn't kill me to
• 49:56
  have some protein and we find out later that it's not like a
• 49:59
  cancer thing, that she's not giving him meat.
• 50:01
  It's because she doesn't eat meat.
• 50:03
  So she's just not. She's not trying to cook it and
• 50:06
  she's not trying to spend what little money they have on
• 50:08
  something that she's not gonna eat.
• 50:09
  I didn't. Even think about that, but yeah,
• 50:11
  OK, I can understand that complaint a little bit more on
• 50:14
  his and then. Well, then he can get off and
• 50:17
  cook. I don't know.
• 50:19
  Can he? He can play video games.
• 50:21
  That's true. He can, yeah.
• 50:23
  And he even. Says earlier in the movie.
• 50:24
  He's like, I can cook some for myself, you know?
• 50:27
  It's just it sounds like she's insisting on cooking for.
• 50:29
  She's wanting to go full on parent mode here and like, be
• 50:32
  the matriarch of the house. I think it's kind of how she is
• 50:36
  choosing to like if she's staying busy, she doesn't have
• 50:38
  to think about how terrified and overwhelmed she is.
• 50:40
  Yeah, exactly. Like if you start really
• 50:42
  thinking about shit in this movie like that, like like, Oh
• 50:45
  well, it's probably because she's like super depressed and
• 50:48
  there's a lot of shit like going on in her life.
• 50:50
  Yeah, she gets a call and it is from the job that she applied to
• 50:55
  and they tell her that she's not gonna be able to get the job.
• 50:58
  Not even the hosting gig? Nope.
• 51:00
  And then there's a flashback to them in the car and he's like, I
• 51:04
  feel like you're mad at me. And she goes, no, I feel like
• 51:06
  I'll let you down. I thought I would be a match.
• 51:07
  So it is implied that she wanted to try and donate her bone
• 51:10
  marrow and just wasn't able to. Yeah, and he says something
• 51:15
  about like you can't always be the hero and sometimes you have
• 51:18
  to learn to let go. Wonder if that will be important
• 51:21
  later. We'll see it.
• 51:22
  Could be. So Iris tells him that he she's
• 51:26
  going to be going out on town tonight with her friends.
• 51:29
  She met up with some old friends so they're going to go hang out.
• 51:32
  She is waiting outside. That's where you see that they
• 51:35
  have a for sale and sold sign on their house, so they are about
• 51:37
  to be homeless. She is picked up by a car and
• 51:41
  taken to the party. And she's going to have to move
• 51:43
  all that shit herself too. They can't afford it.
• 51:46
  They can't afford a mover. And you know she's not going to
• 51:49
  let like Riley help too much. And even if she did, he probably
• 51:52
  will actually tire out quickly. Yeah, yeah.
• 51:55
  God, yeah. The more you think about this
• 51:57
  movie, The more depressing it becomes.
• 51:59
  Yeah, and the more you understand the depths of her
• 52:01
  desperation, and you just have to multiply that eight times for
• 52:04
  all of the people there. Yeah, that's true, Yeah.
• 52:07
  On the way there, she is flashing back once again to
• 52:10
  Riley, asking if she's, you know, sick of this life, having
• 52:14
  to take care of him, not having money.
• 52:16
  She had to drop out of school and move back home.
• 52:18
  And she was like, yeah, it's a lot, but you're my brother.
• 52:22
  And maybe she didn't say it the best, but it wasn't like a well,
• 52:26
  I feel like I have to do this. It was more just like a you're
• 52:30
  my brother, I don't want to lose you.
• 52:31
  Of course I'm going to do this. But it she's exhausted and
• 52:35
  overwhelmed, and it didn't come across quite that way.
• 52:38
  Well, even then he's like, all right, don't you want a wife?
• 52:41
  Don't you wish you still had your wife?
• 52:42
  And she's like, well, no, I mean, yeah, I mean, no, like,
• 52:45
  yeah, you know, like how do you answer that?
• 52:47
  Like, yeah, I wish things were normal, but like, you know, I'm.
• 52:50
  Not obviously. I wish that you didn't have
• 52:52
  cancer and mom and dad weren't dead, so that way this wasn't
• 52:54
  the situation. Like, this is the fucking hand
• 52:57
  that we were dealt. So, like, I'm making the most of
• 52:59
  it. Like, yeah, it's family.
• 53:02
  And she's like, yeah, family. And she's like, we will get
• 53:05
  through this, Yeah, that's how she ends that conversation.
• 53:08
  God, she gets there. Duggan's leads her in with the
• 53:12
  other guests. Announcer is the 8th and final.
• 53:14
  I love how you're just gonna keep it.
• 53:16
  It's happening. So we've got Iris, of course.
• 53:21
  Lucas, He was flown in from Iowa.
• 53:24
  Cal. He was flown in from Seattle.
• 53:26
  Peter is some big shot gambler from Vegas, or so he tells them.
• 53:29
  None of them's heard of him, so they don't know to believe it.
• 53:31
  And I say, how many big shot gamblers do you know by name,
• 53:34
  anyway? Jennifer Tilly.
• 53:36
  That's true. Jenna Fisher also.
• 53:38
  Jenna Fisher? Yep.
• 53:39
  OK, there we go. We got 2 red things they're
• 53:42
  celebrities for. Other Yeah, they're celebrities
• 53:44
  for other things. And it's like, hey, fun fact,
• 53:46
  did you know? It's like this guys from the
• 53:48
  trailer park, and he says he's really good at gambling.
• 53:50
  I don't. Fucking know we've got Linda,
• 53:53
  which we already know her from the clinic, but she is sitting
• 53:56
  over there next to a window in her wheelchair holding what's
• 54:00
  either a statue or a gourd. She's like just looking at it,
• 54:04
  like, what's going on, Linda? Yeah.
• 54:06
  Yeah, they say. She barely speaks.
• 54:07
  Yeah, Travis, he's an Iraq vet, Amy, who's just mean they.
• 54:12
  Just say she's a real charmer. Yeah, that's her whole
• 54:14
  descriptor. And then Callaway, who is a
• 54:16
  conspiracy theorist, especially about the Leinbrich Foundation.
• 54:20
  He might be on to something there and.
• 54:21
  They've all been there between 5 minutes and two hours.
• 54:24
  Isn't it weird how these two immediately like take up with
• 54:26
  Iris? It is a little bit.
• 54:28
  Weird the way they like. Jump on her.
• 54:30
  But I guess I wonder if maybe they've tried that for a while
• 54:36
  and everybody else was just kind of standoffish and maybe they've
• 54:40
  tried it with every single person and she was the first to,
• 54:42
  like, really reciprocate. For them, like, they actually
• 54:44
  are treating us like a mixer, like they're mingling with other
• 54:47
  people. And everybody else is like,
• 54:48
  yeah, I've got like really bad shit going on in my life.
• 54:50
  I don't really want to talk about it.
• 54:52
  Yeah, I don't know. Maybe I and maybe since maybe
• 54:56
  the other people being flown in, maybe they got like treated to
• 54:59
  like a really nice stay in a hotel or something like.
• 55:02
  Probably. I don't know.
• 55:03
  I just always thought it was weird that these two are like,
• 55:06
  all right, we got to protect Iris.
• 55:07
  Like everybody here is in like a situation where it should be
• 55:11
  everybody for yourself, you know what I mean?
• 55:13
  Like, it's. I thought it was strange, these
• 55:15
  two guys. She becomes very like damsel in
• 55:17
  distress, kind of. Yeah, they they're.
• 55:19
  All in the same situation. You know what I mean?
• 55:21
  Yeah. They're like, all right, we got
• 55:22
  to defend this woman. She can't care for herself.
• 55:24
  It's it's really kind of weird. Kind of patronizing in a way.
• 55:27
  That's how I took it too. I was like, damn, she's she can
• 55:29
  fucking take care of herself. Guys like.
• 55:32
  Yeah, like, I understand, like you're not wanting to hurt other
• 55:34
  people, but, like, everybody's like, all right, we got to
• 55:36
  protect Iris. She can't handle her shit.
• 55:38
  Yeah. Iris is actually the one that
• 55:40
  handles her shit the best in this entire thing.
• 55:42
  Yeah. Meanwhile, we're heading to
• 55:44
  Doctor Barden, pouring a drink from a nice little decanter and
• 55:48
  regretting his decision. And it's kind of weird because
• 55:51
  it's a flashback to the clinic after the meeting and he tells
• 55:55
  Chef like, oh, I I don't think that she's right.
• 55:58
  And he's like, what? She's desperate.
• 56:01
  She has no friends or family. Like, it's perfect.
• 56:04
  Yeah, yeah. What a way to describe.
• 56:06
  So that's how you know, like a person is like.
• 56:08
  If somebody describes a person as being perfect for having
• 56:11
  those characteristics, they're up to bad shit.
• 56:14
  Her wife is shit. She's fantastic.
• 56:18
  Nobody will miss her if she's gone.
• 56:21
  OK, so Julianne doesn't want to do the dinner part.
• 56:24
  He's like, why can't we just go straight to the game?
• 56:26
  And Shep is like, it's a process, It's a ritual.
• 56:30
  The game relies on integrity and objectivity, So keep your
• 56:34
  fucking hands to yourself, you creep.
• 56:36
  Yeah, he's like, you got to only observe.
• 56:38
  That's all you can fucking do. He's like what happened last
• 56:40
  year was unacceptable and for a long time.
• 56:43
  We don't know what happened last year until.
• 56:46
  We figure it out in a bad way, yeah.
• 56:49
  So they are summoned to dinner, but they cannot bring their
• 56:52
  possessions in. I love this because Duggans
• 56:56
  collects all of their keys and cell phones in a bowl and he
• 57:01
  grabs all of the purses and then sets them down right where
• 57:04
  everybody could have already reached it, like.
• 57:06
  Yeah, Duggan's. So they, yeah, they go in, they
• 57:12
  sit down at their tables. They have assigned seats.
• 57:16
  Callaway sees that the window is boarded up.
• 57:18
  So interesting. Not a good sign.
• 57:21
  Yeah, yeah, a house like this. It's not like it would take them
• 57:24
  any time at all to have somebody come and fix the window.
• 57:26
  This is. And he's already suspicious.
• 57:29
  So yeah. And I don't know why I made
• 57:31
  this, no, but I just thought it was important that cow like
• 57:33
  pushed Linda. I just.
• 57:35
  I like cow. We don't get enough of him.
• 57:37
  I wish we had seen more of him. Yeah, he seems like a nicest
• 57:41
  dude. Like, granted, I didn't watch a
• 57:43
  whole lot of My Name Is Earl either, and he was my favorite
• 57:46
  part of that show. I didn't watch a lot of it.
• 57:48
  He always seemed like a a good guy in that show.
• 57:50
  Yeah. Yeah, I I thought, I thought it
• 57:52
  would have been Peter here willing her in because they're
• 57:54
  going to be, you know, like sitting next to each other.
• 57:56
  But Rob Wells? Kind of.
• 57:58
  It's like, yeah, fuck you. Yeah, and I don't know, maybe he
• 58:02
  calculated the odds of what it would be like to show.
• 58:04
  Compassion to his. Fellow players, yeah.
• 58:07
  Equations going on in his. Yeah, yeah, I want that meme of
• 58:11
  the like imagining the the algebra and whatnot.
• 58:16
  All right, so they sit down. They are served dinner with
• 58:19
  steak and wine. Definitely done on purpose.
• 58:22
  It's rib eye and fluegua fluegua.
• 58:27
  Yeah, I don't even know what that is.
• 58:28
  Apparently it's liver because like they they say yeah, you eat
• 58:32
  some of the liver too. It is.
• 58:35
  Hold on, let's look it up. They mention liver in this.
• 58:37
  They do mention liver, so fluegua specialty food made from
• 58:43
  the liver of a duck or goose. No cow.
• 58:46
  So yeah, they they've also got some mashed potatoes and
• 58:49
  asparagus and I guess having been invited to a dinner party
• 58:55
  and having been a lifelong vegetarian, didn't think to tell
• 58:58
  the person that she's a vegetarian.
• 59:00
  How do you, as a vegan, slash long time vegetarian like?
• 59:07
  How did you feel about this? Yeah.
• 59:08
  It just, it's kind of one of those like you wouldn't do this
• 59:11
  if you had an allergy either, you know, you'd be like, hey, I
• 59:15
  appreciate the invitation. I have some dietary
• 59:18
  restrictions. Are these going to be able to be
• 59:21
  accommodated? Yeah, that's generally how I
• 59:25
  tend to approach that. I know when we did the dinner
• 59:28
  with Greg Nicotero last year, we checked the menu ahead of time
• 59:32
  to make sure it was fine before we learned it was fixed menu.
• 59:35
  Yep. So that was a problem.
• 59:36
  But that was still an attempt at due diligence.
• 59:39
  Yeah. So it's just.
• 59:42
  Yeah, in this scenario though he didn't ask.
• 59:45
  He probably already knew, cuz like what I was reading before
• 59:48
  is like they were under the impression Jeffrey Combs that,
• 59:51
  like, this guy already had taps on everybody.
• 59:53
  Yeah. Oh, he definitely did.
• 59:55
  Yeah, he. So he probably already knew that
• 59:57
  she is a vegetarian and that Conway is sober.
• 1:00:01
  So he's like, all right, steak and wine, That's gonna be your
• 1:00:03
  dinner tonight. Yeah.
• 1:00:05
  So he's like, let's do $10,000 for you to eat all of that.
• 1:00:10
  Also, I think it's funny because Linda's like they they all still
• 1:00:13
  think that this is like just a nice little dinner party.
• 1:00:16
  And Linda's like. Oh, that's nice.
• 1:00:17
  How long have you been a vegetarian?
• 1:00:19
  And Iris is like, oh, well, actually most of my life.
• 1:00:22
  OK, fun game. Like Chef just cuts him off.
• 1:00:25
  Yeah, I felt that like for you because I've been sitting with
• 1:00:29
  you when you've had this conversation, this exact
• 1:00:31
  conversation with so many people during dinners.
• 1:00:33
  Well, and here's the thing. There's a way that people ask it
• 1:00:36
  that you know if they're going to be like nice, are politely
• 1:00:40
  interested, versus waiting to be an asshole about it.
• 1:00:44
  Cuz like somebody like Vanilla was like, that's nice.
• 1:00:46
  How long have you been a vegetarian versus like, why are
• 1:00:49
  you a vegetarian? Yeah, there's a way.
• 1:00:53
  There's a tone and a wording to the question that lets you know
• 1:00:56
  how that conversation's gonna go.
• 1:00:58
  And you also know I get the impression with her, since this
• 1:01:01
  is where we first really learn it, that she doesn't go around
• 1:01:05
  saying it all the time like she's much like me.
• 1:01:08
  I only bring it up if I actually have to because I don't want to
• 1:01:11
  have this conversation. Yeah, yeah, that's fair.
• 1:01:14
  So, OK, yeah, she's offered $10,000 to eat the steak.
• 1:01:18
  And she does. And as soon as she starts eating
• 1:01:21
  the steak, he starts tearing into her and making her feel
• 1:01:24
  like shit. And also, this is how you know
• 1:01:26
  this guy's a fucking asshole. He's like lifelong commitment,
• 1:01:29
  wiped away for a mere $10,000. That's game changing money to a
• 1:01:35
  lot of. People, you clearly know what
• 1:01:37
  the bank account situations look for all the people at this
• 1:01:40
  table, that is not a mere 10,000 dollars.
• 1:01:43
  Yeah, I and I'm gonna be honest, as much as like it, half my life
• 1:01:48
  I haven't eaten meat. Like if this offer was put in
• 1:01:51
  front of me, I would do it. Dude, I would eat so much.
• 1:01:54
  I would I would eat a lot of weird shit for $10,000.
• 1:01:59
  Like, for real. That's an easy ask.
• 1:02:01
  And it's like, it's one of those things too, that it's like, this
• 1:02:04
  is definitely like a personal moral thing for me.
• 1:02:07
  I hold very strongly to it. Since going vegan, I've also
• 1:02:11
  learned to that apparently my body just hasn't been tolerating
• 1:02:14
  dairy that well most of my life anyway, and it was kind of a
• 1:02:16
  good call to get rid of it. But it's such a weird thing with
• 1:02:21
  stuff like this because it almost is kind of a luxury to be
• 1:02:25
  able to eat that way. Not like a huge luxury, but
• 1:02:28
  like, you know, I I have the option to be a little bit choosy
• 1:02:31
  with what I get right? But then there's like this
• 1:02:34
  further luxury that she doesn't have, where she can just turn
• 1:02:37
  down $10,000 in the name of like her personal morals.
• 1:02:42
  And that was like a thing where it can be like it was a one off
• 1:02:44
  thing. Like I was offered $10,000.
• 1:02:46
  Of course I'm going to fucking do that.
• 1:02:48
  Yes, yeah, but then this is where it gets it casually ramps
• 1:02:53
  it up. It's, it's the trolley problem.
• 1:02:55
  But we're changing the scenario, You know, because he turns to
• 1:02:59
  Shep, turns to Conway and asks why, if he doesn't like the wine
• 1:03:02
  and he goes, Oh well, I don't drink, He goes, oh, are you
• 1:03:05
  recovering alcoholic? And he goes, that's none of your
• 1:03:06
  fucking business. He goes, well, you're asking me
• 1:03:08
  for money. And I think it is, especially
• 1:03:09
  considering your health problems and your debts are a direct
• 1:03:12
  result of your drinking. He's like, I will give you
• 1:03:15
  $10,000 to drink that glass of wine.
• 1:03:16
  And he was like, no, I've been sober for 16 years.
• 1:03:19
  That's a lot of hard work. And so then they bring over a
• 1:03:23
  full decanter of Scotch, and he says $50,000 to drink that.
• 1:03:28
  So 50,000 to do that or you can choose the wine for 10,000.
• 1:03:32
  So you can either have like a momentary slip with the glass of
• 1:03:35
  wine, or you can go full off the rails with 50,000.
• 1:03:38
  And this is a whole different thing because, you know, coming
• 1:03:42
  off of an alcohol abuse disorder, putting in all of that
• 1:03:45
  work, it's so different than just, like, you know, making a
• 1:03:49
  moral decision to not eat meat. He does the same thing.
• 1:03:52
  Yeah. He's like, well, she just like
• 1:03:54
  threw away all of her morals for meat there.
• 1:03:56
  And he's like, it's totally different.
• 1:03:57
  Yeah, it is. It is totally different.
• 1:03:59
  And I respect to the people at the table, they weren't
• 1:04:03
  encouraging him the same way they were encouraging her.
• 1:04:06
  Yeah, they all seem to understand the difference.
• 1:04:08
  And I think it's also part of, like they understand Dire
• 1:04:11
  Straits. So they get like the difference
• 1:04:14
  between dangling $10,000 in front of a vegetarian versus
• 1:04:17
  50,000 in front of a recovering alcoholic.
• 1:04:20
  Yeah, again. Like, that's a lot of fucking
• 1:04:23
  money. It is a lot of fucking money,
• 1:04:25
  but also like God the the mental and physical process of going
• 1:04:31
  through recovery like that. It's sinister.
• 1:04:33
  It's it's fucked up. He knew what he was doing there,
• 1:04:35
  so he he chooses the the cancer, obviously.
• 1:04:38
  Yeah, $50,000. $50,000 He's desperate, considering
• 1:04:43
  everything that we know so far. Yeah, so this is where they
• 1:04:47
  officially begin the game. Shepherd starts going over to
• 1:04:50
  the rules. Basically you have 15 seconds to
• 1:04:54
  decide on the would you rather scenario that he presents to
• 1:04:57
  you. Only you have to complete the.
• 1:04:59
  Would you rather? This isn't hypothetical, right?
• 1:05:02
  You keep going until you're unable to continue, and then
• 1:05:04
  you're eliminated. If you refuse, you're eliminated
• 1:05:07
  and it continues going. Or if you fail to complete your
• 1:05:10
  task, then you're eliminated and it keeps going until the final
• 1:05:14
  two where they have a round and then there's one person left
• 1:05:16
  standing and they are the winner.
• 1:05:18
  They will receive whatever it is that they are needing.
• 1:05:21
  Yep, and he gives them all one last chance to walk out and.
• 1:05:24
  Comedy stands up, he starts to walk out and then he has.
• 1:05:28
  And this was a really smart psychological move on Chef's
• 1:05:32
  part. I hate to give him that, but
• 1:05:34
  having that $50,000 cash in hand, seeing what it looked like
• 1:05:39
  and imagining what he could have gotten, and he's like, fuck in
• 1:05:42
  for a penny and for a pound, You know, like.
• 1:05:44
  Well, he could have walked out with it.
• 1:05:45
  He grabbed it for a second. He finished the decanter.
• 1:05:48
  So he was. He's good and drunk at this
• 1:05:50
  point too, so he's not making the best decisions.
• 1:05:53
  But it also makes you wonder how much more he needed.
• 1:05:56
  Yeah, right. Yeah, $50,000 definitely was not
• 1:05:59
  going to cover what like situation he was in.
• 1:06:02
  Most of these people are probably in the exact same case.
• 1:06:04
  Yeah, so everybody's there. Game begins.
• 1:06:07
  Bevins Dugans. He's a he is a former M15 agent,
• 1:06:14
  so he is Bird Poking Nurse. Yep, he was an interrogator,
• 1:06:17
  too. And he brings in his own
• 1:06:18
  personal interrogation device, which is a car battery and a
• 1:06:22
  Pretty Little shiny headband. Yep, actually 2 Pretty Little
• 1:06:25
  shiny headbands. Because the game is two people
• 1:06:29
  will be wearing the shiny little headband.
• 1:06:30
  One person has a remote they can hit the red button to shock
• 1:06:33
  themselves, the blue button to shock the next person.
• 1:06:35
  So this is the order that we have them in.
• 1:06:39
  Starts with cow, cow and. Oh, wait, Amy.
• 1:06:42
  Before we do that, before we start with it, Conway is like,
• 1:06:46
  no, I'm I'm absolutely not doing this.
• 1:06:48
  And he's like, well, you already had your chance and he goes, I
• 1:06:51
  don't care, I'm not doing this. So he starts to walk away and
• 1:06:53
  get shot. Oh yeah, that's right.
• 1:06:55
  Yeah. And then Linda, is Linda not
• 1:06:58
  wearing a hearing aid? I don't know what's happening.
• 1:07:00
  She was like, I would like to leave.
• 1:07:01
  And he was like, clearly no. Yeah, I don't understand why.
• 1:07:06
  Like, even he is, like, he's very amazing.
• 1:07:09
  Fear. Yeah, like it's not an option.
• 1:07:13
  You guys are definitely. Here, yeah, like Conway is still
• 1:07:15
  taking his final death rattle. Like.
• 1:07:17
  What is still, she's still playing the old lady in a
• 1:07:19
  wheelchair car like, hey, would you open the door for me please?
• 1:07:24
  It's not happening in here, Linda.
• 1:07:25
  Yeah, so this is where we cut to the game starting.
• 1:07:30
  The first person is Cal. He can electrocute himself or
• 1:07:32
  Amy. Amy gives this panicked little
• 1:07:34
  like shaking over head now and you feel sorry for her for a
• 1:07:38
  second because she does look terrified and so Cal
• 1:07:41
  electrocutes himself. It's Amy's turn.
• 1:07:43
  She can choose herself or Linda before the question is even
• 1:07:46
  fully asked. She talks on that.
• 1:07:49
  Yeah, she's kind of an asshole here, yeah.
• 1:07:52
  And then we get to Linda and she can choose herself or Peter.
• 1:07:54
  She barely survived the first shock, so she shoots.
• 1:07:57
  She chooses Peter, and nobody can blame her.
• 1:07:59
  Meanwhile, Dr. Barden's getting his gun.
• 1:08:01
  Getting in his car. Yep.
• 1:08:04
  Now we're at Travis. Who?
• 1:08:06
  We don't see Peter's game. We don't know.
• 1:08:10
  Presumably he could either shock himself or Travis.
• 1:08:15
  I'm guessing Travis got the shock because when it's Travis's
• 1:08:18
  turn, he shocks Lucas. Yeah.
• 1:08:20
  And then Luke, this is like Iris.
• 1:08:22
  You can't handle getting shocked.
• 1:08:24
  We're not gonna do that to you, poor little baby.
• 1:08:26
  Iris. Yes, yeah, a little baby Iris
• 1:08:29
  and. That should be, actually.
• 1:08:36
  I would love it if you just started singing that too.
• 1:08:40
  The whole party just stops. And he's like stall for a
• 1:08:43
  second. I can handle another shock.
• 1:08:45
  I just need to recover real. Quick, Yeah.
• 1:08:47
  He's like, yeah, he's stalling, yeah.
• 1:08:49
  And she doesn't really have a way to stall and go, No.
• 1:08:53
  So if you missed, like his stall comment, she just seems kind of
• 1:08:56
  like a whiny baby that's not paying attention.
• 1:08:58
  Yeah, I say whiny baby because she doesn't want to get shocked,
• 1:09:01
  but you know what I mean? Yeah, poor little Iris.
• 1:09:03
  Whiny baby here. Can't get, can't a little shock,
• 1:09:07
  but she chooses herself. Yeah, well, so Lucas, obviously
• 1:09:11
  he chooses himself first, yeah. And then she's got to choose
• 1:09:15
  herself or cow. And I think she's like, I need
• 1:09:18
  you guys to like stop treating me like a child and.
• 1:09:20
  She shocks herself. Yeah, she's.
• 1:09:22
  Like, I can do this. And so that means at this point,
• 1:09:24
  Amy's the only one who hasn't received a shock.
• 1:09:28
  So she took the generosity of another person and did not pay
• 1:09:31
  that forward. She is the person that breaks
• 1:09:34
  the pay it forward at Starbucks, which I've done that before.
• 1:09:36
  I've broken it, so it's fine. Well, it's the stupid thing to
• 1:09:38
  begin with. Well, you don't know what the
• 1:09:40
  person behind you is. Doing they could be ordering 55
• 1:09:42
  tots like. 55 tots, yeah. Or they could be somebody who
• 1:09:46
  has a brother that like, you know, needs a bone marrow
• 1:09:49
  transplant and you're like, OK fucking now I got your coffee
• 1:09:52
  too. This is my brother's one thing
• 1:09:53
  that he wanted today. And mine.
• 1:09:57
  OK, so round two. They now have 30 seconds.
• 1:10:01
  In between the rounds, the group is briefly having a conversation
• 1:10:04
  with themselves about if they can try and distract some of the
• 1:10:08
  guards, maybe overpower them. And then Julian comes in and
• 1:10:12
  he's just gross. He's just kind of gross
• 1:10:14
  immediately. And he's like, you guys are poor
• 1:10:16
  and that's gross and I hate that.
• 1:10:18
  And Travis is like, hey, we're fucking people, how about you
• 1:10:21
  show us some respect? And Julian's like, thank you for
• 1:10:23
  your service, You're still poor and suck.
• 1:10:25
  And apparently him standing up from the table and shouting at
• 1:10:30
  Julian was a death sentence. Yeah, I I wonder if he went back
• 1:10:33
  there and told him he's like, all right, like, really fuck
• 1:10:36
  with Travis this round, 'cause, like it seems like everything is
• 1:10:39
  targeted to Travis after this right here.
• 1:10:42
  And you know, shit's about to go down because they're bringing in
• 1:10:44
  the the plastic sheet. Dude, when they started rolling
• 1:10:48
  there, I was like, all right, put it up on the walls and
• 1:10:49
  around the table. I'm like, what the fuck is
• 1:10:51
  happening here? I would be panicking if I was
• 1:10:54
  them. So they have 30 seconds in round
• 1:10:56
  two to either choose to stab a person in the thigh with an ice
• 1:11:00
  pick or strike somebody with a jumbuck so the round starts and
• 1:11:06
  Iris can either stab cow or whip Travis three times with a
• 1:11:10
  jumbuck. And the concern is hitting the
• 1:11:15
  femoral artery because that's that's a death sentence pretty
• 1:11:19
  much because you know, these people aren't gonna apply any
• 1:11:22
  kind of first aid to you. So she is like, I just, I'm
• 1:11:26
  gonna do the, I'm gonna do the whipping.
• 1:11:28
  And they actually make them do the whipping.
• 1:11:30
  Yeah, 'cause she tries to, she gives like a soft little whip at
• 1:11:32
  first. Like, no, that's not gonna
• 1:11:34
  count. That probably still hurt a
• 1:11:35
  little bit too, 'cause you could see Travis still flinching.
• 1:11:37
  Yeah, he probably still didn't feel good.
• 1:11:40
  It just didn't cut his flesh. So that wasn't good enough.
• 1:11:42
  Yeah, so she has to give three hard lickings and she does.
• 1:11:46
  He's cut up bad. So then it's Lucas's turn.
• 1:11:50
  He can either stab Iris or whip Travis three times.
• 1:11:55
  I think Travis this feels really hard.
• 1:11:58
  I feel bad for my other Travis. Out there.
• 1:12:02
  So he's like, I just, we just have to worry about the
• 1:12:05
  ephemeral artery, man. I'm sorry.
• 1:12:06
  I was like, it's fine, Fuck it. It's fine.
• 1:12:10
  And then it's Travis's turn and they're like Travis.
• 1:12:13
  I'm sure you're relieved it's your turn.
• 1:12:14
  He's like something like that. I love that as a response.
• 1:12:17
  And he goes. Now you can either stab Lucas
• 1:12:21
  or. Have Bevan whip you.
• 1:12:23
  I was. Like.
• 1:12:24
  Or have whippings administered by Duggan's and Duggan's don't
• 1:12:33
  play. Yeah, Well, and he's well, he's
• 1:12:35
  in him when five agent yeah. He was an interrogator, yeah.
• 1:12:39
  Hard hits. He's that man's all muscle like
• 1:12:43
  he's. You pointed out no neck.
• 1:12:45
  No neck. His neck is like missing from.
• 1:12:47
  All the shoulder trap head. A man's like a bullet bill.
• 1:12:51
  Yeah. Basically, yeah.
• 1:12:53
  He's just, he's just like a cylinder up there.
• 1:12:55
  Yeah, and he's like, Travis has a moment.
• 1:12:58
  He was like, what did I fucking do to you guys to deserve this?
• 1:13:01
  Oh, really? That's what I thought.
• 1:13:03
  Fine, Whip me. And Lucas was like, no,
• 1:13:05
  seriously, stabbing he goes, no, I'm not gonna stab somebody.
• 1:13:08
  He's like, I don't wanna stab you.
• 1:13:09
  I don't wanna stab you. Like that is worse to him than
• 1:13:12
  being whipped. And I respect the man for this.
• 1:13:16
  I. Respect it too.
• 1:13:17
  Also, isn't it kind of interesting that Lucas has been
• 1:13:22
  the one saying, like, you can't stab in the thigh because of the
• 1:13:25
  femoral artery and now he's the one saying, no, you can totally
• 1:13:29
  do it, it's fine. Yeah, like he encouraged the
• 1:13:31
  previous whippings to Travis. Yeah, he did.
• 1:13:34
  And he's like, yeah, I'm feeling a little bit guilty about it.
• 1:13:36
  Go ahead and stab me in the thigh, man.
• 1:13:38
  Yeah, I wonder too, since he was like an Iraq veteran.
• 1:13:43
  I wonder. If he was like a play into it.
• 1:13:44
  Yeah, if this is like if he was like a prisoner of war or
• 1:13:47
  something, at some point he had, like that was part of his PTSD
• 1:13:50
  maybe. Or maybe just like PTSD from,
• 1:13:53
  like, having to shoot at people. You know, like the realities of,
• 1:13:57
  like, the thought war is a concept versus like actually
• 1:14:01
  living through it. I can't even imagine, 'cause I
• 1:14:03
  haven't been there and there. There's a lot that you see and
• 1:14:08
  experience and who knows what it is.
• 1:14:11
  But clearly he has no interest in doling out violence right
• 1:14:15
  now. Yeah, so he's he accepts the
• 1:14:18
  whippings. Honorable man, yeah.
• 1:14:21
  So. He collapses.
• 1:14:23
  Yeah, we do. Cut to Doctor Barden sneaking up
• 1:14:26
  to the Lambrick house. I call bullshit that they don't
• 1:14:29
  have a security system out there.
• 1:14:30
  Yeah. No, there's no way that's a
• 1:14:33
  gated house. For sure, Peter now has the
• 1:14:36
  option to stab Linda or whip Travis and he's like you are
• 1:14:40
  paralyzed. I look, no, the way that he see
• 1:14:43
  this is the star of where I'm like, this is Ricky because the
• 1:14:45
  way he like, he's like, whoa. I mean you're fucking paralyzed.
• 1:14:48
  So, like, you know, maybe it'll be OK if I stab you and I.
• 1:14:51
  Love this reaction, She goes. What?
• 1:14:53
  They're still real. Like, I still got blood flow and
• 1:14:57
  shit down there. Like I still have the artery
• 1:14:59
  too. She's like, I still have the
• 1:15:01
  very real option to bleed out, which we find out because he
• 1:15:04
  stabs her anyway. I just love his reasoning where
• 1:15:07
  he's like, well, I mean, you're paralyzed.
• 1:15:09
  This shit's not going to affect you at all.
• 1:15:10
  It's like, no. So Lucas is like all right in
• 1:15:16
  and out real quick, and then he is not real quick with the
• 1:15:20
  stabbing stab. I OK, And credit to the sound
• 1:15:23
  design for this because, you know, we've had all of the
• 1:15:27
  whipping and that's really loud and violent sounding, but the
• 1:15:30
  ice pick is just a little. Yeah, yeah, it's really.
• 1:15:33
  Like and it's almost chilling how quiet it is.
• 1:15:36
  Especially because when he pulls it out, she immediately is like
• 1:15:38
  losing blood and you know she's fucked.
• 1:15:40
  And then they're trying. They're saying tie a tourniquet,
• 1:15:42
  use your belt, tie a tourniquet. And it's it's Linda's turn to
• 1:15:47
  choose. And they're not like pausing the
• 1:15:49
  game. And he goes, give us a second
• 1:15:51
  does the tourniquet go above or below?
• 1:15:54
  Above, above, I I just love this here and Linda's just like
• 1:15:59
  having all this shit going on and she still has to make a
• 1:16:01
  decision in 30 seconds and. It takes her no time.
• 1:16:03
  She's She's Fry and Amy. Yeah, like they're like, all
• 1:16:06
  right, Linda, hurry up and make a choice.
• 1:16:08
  And then as they're saying it, she just grabs eyes, pick, and
• 1:16:10
  just just like, stabs Amy and then Amy.
• 1:16:13
  Me, who takes the elbow right to the nose.
• 1:16:15
  Yeah, she's. Like you scratched me.
• 1:16:18
  Yeah. Which this kind of warms the
• 1:16:21
  rest of the people, not that people are participating, but
• 1:16:24
  the shepherd, the foundation people towards Amy, they're
• 1:16:28
  like, all right, Amy, well. She's by she.
• 1:16:30
  Yeah, you can. You can whip Travis or stab.
• 1:16:33
  Anybody. Yeah, she's like, all right, can
• 1:16:35
  I stab anybody wherever I want to?
• 1:16:38
  And. He goes shoulder's down.
• 1:16:41
  He he says that as she's stabbing, she doesn't even wait
• 1:16:44
  for an answer, so she, like, stabs Iris right in the stomach.
• 1:16:49
  Yeah, it's like in the ribs and they're like she missed the
• 1:16:53
  lung. I don't believe she would have
• 1:16:55
  with where she was stabbed. She was she was stabbed, right?
• 1:16:58
  There. Look, she she could have gone
• 1:17:01
  for a more fatal when, Especially since like right
• 1:17:03
  here, she's like, all right, you guys are like, playing the game
• 1:17:05
  Wrong. We're obviously supposed to be
• 1:17:07
  killing each other here. It's about who's the last person
• 1:17:09
  here. She's like, we can't all be on a
• 1:17:12
  team because that's not how this game is going to work.
• 1:17:15
  But then she goes for that she is.
• 1:17:16
  Right. But that doesn't make her not an
• 1:17:18
  asshole. It's it's just like in The Big
• 1:17:21
  Lebowski. Yeah, you're not wrong, Walt.
• 1:17:23
  You're just an asshole. Yeah, you're just kind of an
• 1:17:25
  asshole, Amy. Everybody's going to hate you
• 1:17:27
  for this. You're going to suffer for this
• 1:17:28
  one. So Doctor Barden is in the
• 1:17:32
  basement, Travis has fallen out of his chair, but he's still
• 1:17:35
  breathing and Duggan's is like, remarkably, still alive.
• 1:17:40
  And Ricky's over there with Linda going, Linda, Linda,
• 1:17:44
  Linda, Linda, like Zoe trying to wake us up to feed her in the
• 1:17:48
  mornings. And he goes, I think, I think
• 1:17:51
  Linda's, she's unconscious. And Duggan's comes over, he
• 1:17:55
  goes, she's not unconscious. And Peter's like, OK, good.
• 1:17:59
  And Duncans goes She's dead, yeah.
• 1:18:02
  She played out really fast. She really did.
• 1:18:06
  So all right, now it is Cal's turn.
• 1:18:09
  He is given the choice of stabbing Iris or.
• 1:18:13
  No stabbing Lucas? No.
• 1:18:14
  Stabbing Lucas, OK or administering 3 more lashes to
• 1:18:19
  Travis? And he says, I think Travis
• 1:18:21
  probably just wants to be out of this.
• 1:18:23
  And Lucas is like, that's not your choice to make because
• 1:18:26
  they're making it my choice. Yeah, I have to make a choice.
• 1:18:28
  Yeah, he's like, Amy's right. We need to start like actually
• 1:18:31
  kicking on, like picking off the people that are already kind of
• 1:18:34
  out. I'm kind of curious.
• 1:18:36
  I really wish we'd had a little bit more of their specific
• 1:18:40
  backstories because I know when the Food First came out, Lucas
• 1:18:43
  said. I haven't had a meal like this
• 1:18:44
  in so long, and Cal was like, I've never had a meal like this.
• 1:18:47
  Yeah. So I wonder if I wonder if the
• 1:18:51
  seedings were meant to be, like, poorest to least poor.
• 1:18:55
  Dude, you might be right. I don't know.
• 1:18:58
  That's a. Cuz yeah, him and Amy are right
• 1:18:59
  across from each other. There might be some correlation
• 1:19:02
  with that there. That's interesting.
• 1:19:04
  So I'm just. That's why he's probably like,
• 1:19:06
  she's right. I'm super bored right now.
• 1:19:08
  I need to beat the show this guy.
• 1:19:09
  Yeah, he's like, we really are just gonna be all for ourselves.
• 1:19:14
  Except, yeah. And then they take Travis away
• 1:19:17
  because he is still alive, but he he can't participate anymore.
• 1:19:21
  And what's really chilling to me is Duggan's still ship.
• 1:19:26
  He won't die for, I don't know how long.
• 1:19:28
  Maybe a few hours, maybe a few days, but he can't play either
• 1:19:31
  way. Are they just gonna drag him off
• 1:19:33
  to like a coat closet or something to bleed out like?
• 1:19:37
  I wish whenever we have this chaos later on that we see where
• 1:19:41
  he's at or. What?
• 1:19:42
  Yeah, just like him, crumpled up in a corner with the umbrella
• 1:19:46
  stand or something. Yeah, I mean, that would be
• 1:19:48
  dark. Like he's like on the coat
• 1:19:50
  hanger. But like, yeah, it would be like
• 1:19:52
  kind of interesting to see what they plan to do with him.
• 1:19:57
  OK, So yeah, he's gone. Let's see.
• 1:20:00
  This is where Lucas Cal Peter attack the guards.
• 1:20:06
  Amy jumps back. Because she never wanted a part
• 1:20:08
  of this. And then they tell Iris to run.
• 1:20:11
  Cal gets shot and the others are subdued in various ways.
• 1:20:15
  Duggan's and Julian go to look for Iris.
• 1:20:17
  Julian finds her in the basement and gets really gropey.
• 1:20:20
  And it's unpleasant. And Dr. Barnes, like Iris, we're
• 1:20:24
  getting out of here. And then he gets shot.
• 1:20:26
  She stabs Julian too, to, like, thin him off.
• 1:20:30
  It's. There's a way to do this to make
• 1:20:32
  it more impactful. Like I think of like the
• 1:20:34
  strangers where Dennis comes and I like that we have a little bit
• 1:20:38
  of build up to him coming there and like him being annoyed and
• 1:20:42
  then he's, you know, gets his hell up.
• 1:20:45
  Yeah, you're right. They do it so much better with
• 1:20:47
  the strangers just for this right here.
• 1:20:49
  I just. I never got the impression that
• 1:20:52
  it was ever gonna like it just always felt futile.
• 1:20:55
  The. Other implication of this is
• 1:20:58
  that Doctor Bardon said fuck Linda, she deserves this because
• 1:21:02
  she was also at his clinic. It's like, I get Linda, but
• 1:21:06
  Iris, she's all right. Yeah.
• 1:21:09
  I hate it. Whenever I see Linda on my
• 1:21:12
  schedule that day, I go fuck Iris.
• 1:21:16
  I like Iris. Yeah, I'm going to go save Iris.
• 1:21:21
  It's kind of fucked up. I don't even think about that
• 1:21:22
  because they definitely go to the same doctor.
• 1:21:25
  Yeah. Man, that's fucked up.
• 1:21:27
  All right? So yeah, he's like, all right,
• 1:21:28
  Iris, don't worry, I'm going to save you.
• 1:21:30
  And then Duggan shoots him. Yeah, they get upstairs, Duggan
• 1:21:35
  tells the other guys to take Julian upstairs.
• 1:21:37
  Julian's pissed because he's been stabbed in the thigh
• 1:21:40
  appropriately. He was trying to rape somebody.
• 1:21:42
  She. Was stabbed as a Dick.
• 1:21:43
  Yeah, maybe that's what she was going for.
• 1:21:45
  But you know, she only had the one ice pick and the one shot.
• 1:21:49
  So he's like, pissed that she tried to run away and stabbed
• 1:21:52
  him. And she gets to go back to the
• 1:21:53
  game. She's not being shot.
• 1:21:54
  He's like, what's going on? He goes, you're going upstairs,
• 1:21:56
  you're in time, time out, young man.
• 1:21:58
  We're going to take our respect in the game.
• 1:22:00
  You know, Doug has definitely like had to deal with Julian
• 1:22:03
  growing up and has just been waiting for a moment like he's
• 1:22:06
  put him in time out before. Yeah, I I do have a feeling
• 1:22:10
  though, because whenever he tells Shepard and he's like, all
• 1:22:13
  right, yeah, he tried to rape her and he's.
• 1:22:15
  Like and that's. Like, very explicitly the
• 1:22:17
  language. That's what he says, Yeah.
• 1:22:18
  And then? Julian was trying to rape Iris,
• 1:22:20
  yeah. And then he's like, all right,
• 1:22:21
  excuse me. So he goes upstairs for a minute
• 1:22:23
  and he, like, walks the door behind.
• 1:22:25
  Him. He took like the ice pick and
• 1:22:26
  like stab Julian again. I've I would hope he did
• 1:22:30
  something. I my thought is like maybe the
• 1:22:31
  like lashing like the whip, just like fucking he did something to
• 1:22:36
  him. He comes back fast.
• 1:22:38
  But I do think either he ordered some of his people there to do
• 1:22:41
  something to you. Know what, though?
• 1:22:42
  I could see like a Jeffrey comes in if he just walks into a room
• 1:22:45
  real quick, slaps you, you see stars, and by the time you,
• 1:22:49
  like, have reoriented yourself, he's already shutting the door
• 1:22:52
  behind him. Jeffrey comes, slaps me as a two
• 1:22:54
  slap man like both hands slap slap.
• 1:22:56
  Yeah. No, I'm imagining front hand,
• 1:22:58
  backhand. Front hand, backhand, Yeah,
• 1:23:00
  yeah, yeah. Front hand, Backhand, other.
• 1:23:02
  Hand and you know, he's got like that little what is the pinky
• 1:23:05
  ring called? The Cignette ring.
• 1:23:08
  He's definitely got that and it's like leaving an impression
• 1:23:10
  on Julian's face. I think he does that and then
• 1:23:13
  with the left hand or the other hand, he just like slaps him on
• 1:23:16
  the butt. It's like good game.
• 1:23:17
  He just walks off. He's just.
• 1:23:18
  Spanking because he's a bad boy. Time out and he just walks out.
• 1:23:25
  OK. Moving on.
• 1:23:25
  OK. Property.
• 1:23:27
  Yeah. Well, first he, you know, tell
• 1:23:29
  Cyrus that it's sorry, my son's rapey, but his mom's dead.
• 1:23:32
  So. Yeah, that was a weird thing.
• 1:23:34
  It was like ever since his mom died, he can't control himself.
• 1:23:37
  He's. A.
• 1:23:38
  What I'm hearing is that you are not an active parent chef.
• 1:23:43
  Yeah. You left the raising of your
• 1:23:45
  child to your wife. Your wife or dugans?
• 1:23:49
  Wife and Dugans Side plot Dugans and the wife were having a
• 1:23:53
  secret of figure and it was never uncovered.
• 1:23:55
  That's Duggan's child. That's why Duggan's is so
• 1:23:59
  comfortable sending him up to his room.
• 1:24:00
  Yeah, he's. Yeah.
• 1:24:02
  Oh boy. There's some more here.
• 1:24:06
  All right, so round three again, 30 seconds to make a decision.
• 1:24:11
  He says when you chose to come here, you were choosing between
• 1:24:14
  the known and the unknown, and that's what this game is.
• 1:24:17
  So you're all gonna have an envelope in front of you,
• 1:24:20
  they've just been randomly dealt, and you can either choose
• 1:24:23
  to do whatever is on the card in the envelope, or you can be held
• 1:24:27
  underwater in that barrel. For two minutes, yeah.
• 1:24:31
  God. As soon as they will in that
• 1:24:32
  barrel, I'm like. Fuck yeah.
• 1:24:35
  So. And he says that the punishments
• 1:24:38
  range from not so bad to pretty gnarly.
• 1:24:42
  And I call bullshit on that because we know what every
• 1:24:44
  single one of the punishments were, and none of them's one
• 1:24:46
  that I want to do. I would have liked for one of
• 1:24:49
  them to be like a freebie though.
• 1:24:50
  I feel like that would have been interesting.
• 1:24:52
  Yeah, but yeah, but instead, OK, we.
• 1:24:56
  So we started off with Peter, who is the gambler, and he goes
• 1:24:59
  into this whole rant about how like, well, you probably did
• 1:25:02
  your research on me and this is like a gambler thing here.
• 1:25:05
  Listen, literally every time I've ever played rock, paper,
• 1:25:09
  scissors, I go through this in my head where I'm like, well, I
• 1:25:12
  just threw scissors. So they won't expect me to throw
• 1:25:14
  scissors again, but maybe they will and so they'll throw rocks.
• 1:25:17
  So I'm going to throw paper. I like how he does all of this
• 1:25:20
  to like ultimately be like, so yeah, obviously envelope like
• 1:25:24
  didn't sound. That doesn't feel obvious.
• 1:25:26
  That's This is why you're in debt, Peter.
• 1:25:29
  You're bad game with Peter, so he opens up his envelope.
• 1:25:32
  Feel like this is the thing. I'm a casual gambler.
• 1:25:37
  I go for the sure thing. Yeah, you know what I mean?
• 1:25:40
  I'll do a slot machine. So I'm not gonna lose any more
• 1:25:43
  money than what I put in there. Maybe I'll get $10 in quarters
• 1:25:45
  back out. And that's fine.
• 1:25:47
  I feel like he should have gone with the sure thing.
• 1:25:49
  The thing he knew he could survive.
• 1:25:51
  See The thing is though, you gotta think of it.
• 1:25:53
  So 2 minutes being held underwater, I think about it and
• 1:25:58
  I'm like, OK, that's maybe doable for like a normal like
• 1:26:01
  your average person. Like he He says specifically
• 1:26:04
  that it's designed to drown people.
• 1:26:06
  So apparently, like most people can't hold their breath for two
• 1:26:09
  minutes. But it can be done, yeah.
• 1:26:13
  I think it's not being used in situations where you know you're
• 1:26:15
  gonna be dumped in and you have a chance to breathe.
• 1:26:18
  Not that they did that for Amy, but she wasn't.
• 1:26:20
  Yeah, 4. Minutes.
• 1:26:20
  Anyway, so I don't. I don't necessarily blame them
• 1:26:22
  because, like, yeah, the envelope.
• 1:26:24
  Like, where? What's my other option here?
• 1:26:25
  His is like a little firecracker, which turns out to
• 1:26:28
  not actually be a firecracker is actually dynamite.
• 1:26:31
  See now I that would have felt targeted to me if it had been me
• 1:26:36
  because. Oh yeah.
• 1:26:38
  I have an experience with the Firecracker going off on me.
• 1:26:42
  I didn't lose any fingers or toes fortunately, but it I that
• 1:26:46
  happened when I was like 3 or 4 years old and I cannot be
• 1:26:49
  outside with fireworks to this day.
• 1:26:50
  Yep, it's still left an yeah. Impression on Yeah, we've gone
• 1:26:54
  to Legends games before and forgotten that it's a firework
• 1:26:56
  Friday and Travis has had to take me sobbing to the car.
• 1:27:00
  So yeah, this is a nightmare to me.
• 1:27:03
  And it's it made even worse when the firecrackers revealed to be
• 1:27:06
  1/4 stick of dynamite. I was reading the interview.
• 1:27:09
  One of the interviews with Jeffrey comes already a couple,
• 1:27:11
  but somebody was like, so this is definitely also drawing on
• 1:27:15
  their past. It's like, no, I actually think
• 1:27:17
  that this is one of the true random moments in the thing.
• 1:27:19
  Because for Shepherd, like it's a game.
• 1:27:23
  He wants to be surprised by some of this stuff, too.
• 1:27:26
  Well, and plus, there also is kind of that animal instinct
• 1:27:28
  there. That part of me wants to know
• 1:27:30
  what all of the cards are where if it wasn't life or death, I
• 1:27:33
  probably would choose the card. But like knowing especially if
• 1:27:38
  I'm not going first like seeing Firecracker versus Barrel, I
• 1:27:41
  would go with the known. Oh yeah, for sure.
• 1:27:43
  Yeah, definitely. But there is a part of me that's
• 1:27:46
  like, but what if you get the good card?
• 1:27:48
  Exactly. Yeah.
• 1:27:49
  Thing is, no good cards. So OK, he's got his firecracker.
• 1:27:54
  And Lucas is like, just drop it. But Lucas fucked this up first.
• 1:27:57
  He did, man. He's like, he could have done
• 1:27:59
  that. He's like, no, you're not gonna
• 1:28:00
  drop it. We're gonna make him hold it
• 1:28:02
  tightly, tape it to his hands. They use.
• 1:28:04
  Half a fucking roll of duct tape.
• 1:28:06
  He didn't stand a chance and he goes.
• 1:28:08
  Just think about it though, Peter.
• 1:28:10
  It could be a dud. That's true.
• 1:28:13
  He's like, all right, if it's a dud, do I have to go again?
• 1:28:15
  He's like no. I love the way he thought.
• 1:28:19
  Yeah. It was like such a long no.
• 1:28:27
  And for this right here, I know I'm probably gonna die.
• 1:28:31
  You're not gonna survive dynamite like, you know right
• 1:28:34
  there. Point blank.
• 1:28:35
  So if I were him, I would have charged that somebody.
• 1:28:37
  He's got guns pointed at him, but you can maybe take a few
• 1:28:39
  shots. I would run to the nearest
• 1:28:42
  especially like to Shepherd. But now he lights it and he
• 1:28:46
  thinks it's a dud for a second. But then it finally blows up,
• 1:28:49
  his hands blown off, and he just collapses.
• 1:28:51
  People are covered in chunks of Peter Hand.
• 1:28:53
  Yep. And he has a heart attack, which
• 1:28:56
  is what kills him. Yep.
• 1:28:58
  So Lucas swaps for the envelope, even after what he just saw.
• 1:29:03
  This is the. One, and this is This is why
• 1:29:05
  this is the poster. Yes, he has to cut his eye,
• 1:29:09
  split his eye open with the Rizzo.
• 1:29:10
  He opens the card and it's just a picture of an eye.
• 1:29:12
  It's like, all right, what the fuck is that?
• 1:29:14
  I was like, ah, Yep, you have to cut open your eye with a razor.
• 1:29:19
  Which God, it's so fucking. Naughty.
• 1:29:22
  And I love the way the actor did this, where he's like, I can't
• 1:29:26
  do that, I can't do that. Like it's just it felt so raw
• 1:29:30
  and human, like. Yeah, I mean, that's one of the
• 1:29:33
  things like you can do that and walk away and be fine.
• 1:29:36
  Like see, The thing is, you could rock a cool eye patch.
• 1:29:39
  Afterwards. Psychological element, for sure.
• 1:29:42
  It is, yeah. And I also love how when he
• 1:29:46
  makes the decision, the camera's also like, I can't do this and
• 1:29:49
  it pans all the way across the table right when he does the
• 1:29:52
  cut. I know that was probably for,
• 1:29:54
  like, effects reasons, but like, I it's just kind of funny.
• 1:29:56
  Like, all right, the camera can't even handle this shit.
• 1:29:58
  We got Canada over here. So yeah, he cuts his eye.
• 1:30:01
  Next up, Iris. She goes for the barrel, the
• 1:30:04
  sure thing. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:30:05
  And chef's like not a risk taker.
• 1:30:10
  She's seen what she's fucking seen tonight.
• 1:30:12
  Yeah. I mean that's the wise decision
• 1:30:15
  right there. And so she spends the two
• 1:30:17
  minutes, she goes to Zen Place, thinks of Riley.
• 1:30:21
  He's saying about a dream that he keeps having where he's
• 1:30:24
  drowning and he's pulling everybody down with him and it's
• 1:30:26
  so goddamn depressing. This is like a trope in movies
• 1:30:30
  at this point, where if you're drowning, you're gonna have a
• 1:30:33
  vision of some sorts. Yeah, gonna have a vision of
• 1:30:36
  some sorts. And it's generally also gonna
• 1:30:38
  involve water, cuz that happened in that that movie, The 2B
• 1:30:42
  movie. What?
• 1:30:43
  Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking of.
• 1:30:45
  Also like final destination whenever she drives into the
• 1:30:48
  water. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:30:51
  So yeah, she miraculously survives.
• 1:30:54
  And you made a point here where it would have been cool if they
• 1:30:58
  actually played it out for two minutes.
• 1:31:00
  That way you could see. There is a part of me that I was
• 1:31:02
  like, wait, did this last for two minutes And then we were
• 1:31:04
  both like, no, there's no way that was a full 2 minutes. 2
• 1:31:06
  minutes is a it's a really long fucking time.
• 1:31:09
  It's definitely doable if you're somewhat healthy.
• 1:31:13
  Yeah, there. There was one thing that they
• 1:31:17
  did time it. It's on IMDb trivia.
• 1:31:20
  Oh, OK yeah, hold on. Let me pull it up.
• 1:31:22
  Should. Have known somebody in the world
• 1:31:23
  did that math for us? Yeah, well The thing is like
• 1:31:25
  they present it as a way that they make it seem as though she
• 1:31:30
  gets off like easy with it, but I don't think that they would
• 1:31:34
  have like cheated the system and this for her.
• 1:31:37
  Yeah, no, I just think like they probably filmed enough for two
• 1:31:41
  minutes and they're like, that's a really long time.
• 1:31:43
  Like it would be impactful, like as an audience to experience
• 1:31:47
  that full 2 minutes. But I also think that it kind of
• 1:31:50
  slows down some of the tension, I think.
• 1:31:53
  Well, honestly, you can make that sense by having shots of
• 1:31:56
  her struggling with the barrel and then shots of like, just
• 1:31:59
  have the ticking of the clock be really present because like that
• 1:32:02
  right there just gets you going. Yeah, I can see that.
• 1:32:04
  But she was on screen being like that for one minute and 16
• 1:32:09
  seconds. OK, so we didn't even see the
• 1:32:11
  last 44 seconds. Right.
• 1:32:12
  Yeah. Which kind of goes to put into
• 1:32:14
  perspective how long it really is.
• 1:32:16
  Yeah. But yeah, she's surprised.
• 1:32:18
  Yep, she survives. Then it's Amy's turn, and Shep
• 1:32:23
  makes sure to because Amy already looks like she's ready
• 1:32:26
  to grab for that envelope anyway.
• 1:32:28
  She is panicky in a way that we haven't really seen her be.
• 1:32:32
  Yeah, and he goes, are you going to try and face drowning?
• 1:32:36
  Maybe understand how your daughter felt when your husband
• 1:32:38
  was holding her underwater. She definitely didn't want that.
• 1:32:43
  What a yeah. And like it was clearly true.
• 1:32:45
  And I think her card was planted.
• 1:32:47
  I feel like a go. Fucking way.
• 1:32:49
  Yeah 'cause she gets the card with the barrel with the four on
• 1:32:52
  it, meaning she has to be in there for 4 minutes instead,
• 1:32:55
  which? They're like that's not possible
• 1:32:57
  and he's like it is possible. Look it up.
• 1:32:59
  It is. I mean, for if you're David
• 1:33:02
  Blaine, you know what? I.
• 1:33:04
  Mean, but you have to. Train for shit like.
• 1:33:06
  Exactly, yeah. Like a normal person's not going
• 1:33:08
  to be able to do that, so she's definitely going to die.
• 1:33:11
  And I only feel like I could do the two minutes because I did
• 1:33:14
  band for eight years. Yeah, I don't think I could do
• 1:33:17
  the two minutes. I think I'd be dead for that.
• 1:33:18
  And I and I run pretty regularly.
• 1:33:21
  So, like, I've got like a lot of that breath training, but I'm
• 1:33:23
  also fucked because I got the asthma.
• 1:33:24
  I was just going to say you have asthma, so your lungs are.
• 1:33:26
  Kind of. However, I am medicated now, so
• 1:33:29
  let's think about how well I did before we knew it was asthma.
• 1:33:31
  See The thing is though, you would probably be needing a puff
• 1:33:34
  on the asthma while watching all the events going on here, and I
• 1:33:38
  doubt he would. Purses at the beginning and I'd
• 1:33:39
  be like, can I go get my inhaler?
• 1:33:41
  And they'd be like, no choke bitch.
• 1:33:43
  Yep. They won't.
• 1:33:43
  Yeah, they won't let you have it.
• 1:33:45
  So she dies. Yeah, and they don't even let
• 1:33:47
  her get her breath. Duggan's is pretty cruel.
• 1:33:49
  With it, yeah. They're like Ready go, and she's
• 1:33:51
  like. Yeah.
• 1:33:52
  She dies pretty quickly, so the final round and he's like
• 1:33:56
  usually the first player has a distinct advantage, so we're
• 1:33:58
  going to flip a coin. Iris wins the coin toss, and the
• 1:34:02
  question like her would you rather is you can either both
• 1:34:07
  walk out of here, game's over, you all get nothing, or you can
• 1:34:13
  shoot Lucas, which that feels like the player.
• 1:34:17
  The first player not only has a distinct advantage, they have
• 1:34:20
  the only advantage. Yeah, like that ends the game.
• 1:34:23
  Yeah, that ends the game. Yeah.
• 1:34:26
  Or. Or.
• 1:34:26
  I wonder if maybe, like the second like if she had chosen
• 1:34:29
  that, if the question then would have come to him.
• 1:34:31
  Would you rather join her in walking out?
• 1:34:33
  Or I wonder if there was. That I bet you're right.
• 1:34:36
  So, and because Lucas is like, cool, this is all over and she's
• 1:34:40
  like wavering. And this is where Shep brings up
• 1:34:43
  her brother. He knows the right moments to
• 1:34:45
  like needle people. Yeah.
• 1:34:47
  And. Lucas's eye, by the way.
• 1:34:49
  Looking. Fucked.
• 1:34:51
  It's so swollen. They did a good.
• 1:34:53
  Job. Yeah, it it just.
• 1:34:55
  Yeah. The only critique I have is
• 1:34:58
  there's no blood on his face. Yeah, that's true.
• 1:35:00
  But yeah, it's it's you're so distracted by how fucked up his
• 1:35:04
  eye looks that you don't even notice that.
• 1:35:07
  So he starts to tell why he's there.
• 1:35:10
  But I also, here's the thing, We've gotten very little of
• 1:35:13
  Lucas. He has played the martyr the
• 1:35:15
  whole time. He has been team togetherness.
• 1:35:19
  There is a tiny part of me that wonders if there's like an
• 1:35:22
  alternate ending where Iris says yes, let's walk away.
• 1:35:27
  And then Lucas gets that question and he shoots her
• 1:35:30
  because he's like, I think we're not.
• 1:35:33
  He's like, you don't know why I'm here.
• 1:35:35
  I can tell you're here for your brother.
• 1:35:37
  I have three sisters. He's not really talking about
• 1:35:39
  why he's there. He's about to, he says.
• 1:35:41
  I've got three sisters and he's probably going to go into detail
• 1:35:44
  about why those three sisters are important to him and what
• 1:35:47
  they may be going through. No, I think he was going to be a
• 1:35:49
  snake whale salesman. Do you think so?
• 1:35:52
  I really do. That could be.
• 1:35:54
  I really think he was using. I I don't necessarily like,
• 1:35:57
  maybe he was legitimately a nice guy, but I think that that would
• 1:36:00
  be another fuck of a bummer ending that he's been playing
• 1:36:03
  the nice guy the whole time. And then because, I mean, think
• 1:36:05
  about how patronizing he's been towards Iris, You know what I
• 1:36:08
  mean? You're right, he's probably like
• 1:36:09
  playing the game in a way that would have benefited him.
• 1:36:13
  Yeah, like very, very affable kind of guy.
• 1:36:16
  And then when he gets his chance, he's taking it.
• 1:36:20
  And if I know anything about this movie, it didn't want to
• 1:36:22
  play nice with any of its endings.
• 1:36:24
  Cuz like, there's no way this would have went to a test
• 1:36:27
  audience. And people are like, yeah,
• 1:36:28
  that's kind of a bummer. And, like, the director's
• 1:36:30
  probably like, yeah, I know. That's the thing.
• 1:36:31
  Yeah. So yeah, no, you're probably
• 1:36:35
  right. It probably would have been him
• 1:36:37
  shooting Iris instead. Yeah, but she does it and she's
• 1:36:41
  doing it for Riley and she gets home.
• 1:36:43
  They give her just a bag of cash and are they going to talk to
• 1:36:47
  the IRS for her? How's she supposed to pay off
• 1:36:50
  all this shit with some cash without saying where she got it
• 1:36:52
  from? See The thing is though, I've
• 1:36:56
  this has been brought up before and this isn't we can go into a
• 1:37:00
  whole thing here. But it was because Nelly, you
• 1:37:04
  know rapper, hip hop artist, notoriously carries around with
• 1:37:09
  him a bag of like $300,000 on hand.
• 1:37:13
  OK, he one time lost that bag of money and somebody found it and
• 1:37:19
  he received it back. The person was a good citizen.
• 1:37:22
  They gave him the money back and he rewarded them with $100 bill.
• 1:37:27
  So a lot of people in the comments were contemplating, all
• 1:37:29
  right, like why like you should keep that money And then other
• 1:37:33
  people are like, what would you do with a bag of cash?
• 1:37:35
  Like how are you going to explain that?
• 1:37:37
  It's like, it's cash make cash purchases going forward.
• 1:37:40
  They can't track that. But she needs to pay off her
• 1:37:43
  parents debts. It's not like a matter of like I
• 1:37:47
  need to pay my debts, but I also need to like buy food and
• 1:37:49
  whatnot. It's like a.
• 1:37:51
  Yeah, you know, you're right. And I think in this situation
• 1:37:53
  here, she's already got the surgery paid for by the
• 1:37:56
  foundation. So she's got that much get a job
• 1:37:58
  and like have that on paper and then start making payments, but
• 1:38:01
  like. Well, you know what would have
• 1:38:03
  been a good cover for that? A fucking serving job where
• 1:38:05
  you're paid in cash. Yeah, well, see, The thing is,
• 1:38:08
  now she can actually go out there and start job hunting and
• 1:38:11
  not actually have that. Pressure if I need.
• 1:38:12
  A job right now. The bag of cash is enough to pay
• 1:38:15
  off her parents debts, pay for all of Wrightley's treatments,
• 1:38:19
  and for her to go back to school.
• 1:38:21
  Yeah, I almost questioned if this duffel bag's big enough for
• 1:38:24
  all of that, but that's a whole different discussion.
• 1:38:26
  And he's like, and we've already found a donor in Romania,
• 1:38:29
  definitely kidnap somebody, there's human trafficking this.
• 1:38:32
  Died in the hostel. Yeah, yeah, for sure.
• 1:38:36
  And they will be transported here.
• 1:38:38
  There's like, OK, so one of the Reacher books, Spoiler, if you
• 1:38:41
  haven't read all of the Reacher books, this is actually one of
• 1:38:43
  the Lee and Andrew joint ventures.
• 1:38:46
  And I think it's probably the strongest of the new era of
• 1:38:48
  Reacher, if you will. OK, this isn't spoiling it for
• 1:38:52
  you, because I don't think you're going to.
• 1:38:53
  Read it. No, you're fine.
• 1:38:54
  I don't care. So they had like this prison and
• 1:38:57
  they were like divided up prisoners into different
• 1:39:00
  subsets. And like they had this whole
• 1:39:02
  scheme where they would like rehabilitate them and send them
• 1:39:05
  out into the world, except they're sending out people that
• 1:39:07
  aren't actually the real prisoners.
• 1:39:09
  And they're picking the prisoners that much like Chef's
• 1:39:11
  Foundation is picking, don't have family or any outside
• 1:39:14
  connections. They're selling them to go onto
• 1:39:17
  a boat that goes out into international waters where
• 1:39:20
  you're not being held by like law.
• 1:39:22
  And they're using them as living donors.
• 1:39:24
  And they take like little bits and pieces until the person is
• 1:39:27
  fully dead. So like, they'll start with like
• 1:39:28
  skin and like eyes and. That's fucked.
• 1:39:32
  Up. It is so fucked up.
• 1:39:34
  Yeah, it is so fucked up. And so that's when they were
• 1:39:37
  like, we found a donor from Romania.
• 1:39:39
  My brain went to that this time because I've read the book it.
• 1:39:42
  Could also be a Jack Reacher tie.
• 1:39:45
  It really God that's depressing Jack Reacher.
• 1:39:48
  Except it couldn't be a Jack Reacher time, because Shep
• 1:39:52
  Lambrick is still alive. At the end of this, Jack Reacher
• 1:39:55
  leaves no survivors. Yeah, we know of maybe at the
• 1:39:59
  end of like after the credits rolled like Reacher, like
• 1:40:01
  rolled. You know what?
• 1:40:02
  He would have stabbed Julian in the Dick.
• 1:40:05
  He would have done. It I'm glad that he would have
• 1:40:07
  gotten his justice. He would have been the one that
• 1:40:10
  taught Bobby Hill to go for the grind.
• 1:40:12
  He's not above a grind kick. Nobody should.
• 1:40:16
  OK, So yeah, she makes a bad comb.
• 1:40:19
  She showers. She checks on her brother.
• 1:40:22
  He seems to be sleeping, so she like kind of just gets settled
• 1:40:26
  back in and after she's done with her shower and everything,
• 1:40:29
  she goes to check on him again if she walks up to him and sees
• 1:40:33
  a bottle of open pills that are. Saturday open bottles of pills
• 1:40:36
  and some vomit, and Riley has been dead for a while.
• 1:40:40
  Yep, he and. She's just saying, what did you
• 1:40:42
  do? What did you do?
• 1:40:43
  Oh my God, what did you do? And I think part of it is her
• 1:40:45
  saying that to him, but also her saying it to herself.
• 1:40:48
  Yep, because she's done it all for.
• 1:40:51
  Not necessarily nothing, because she still had to pay off all
• 1:40:53
  those debts. But like, a huge motivation for
• 1:40:57
  the all of this is now just he's dead.
• 1:41:01
  Yep. And it's so fucking depressing.
• 1:41:03
  So that's the movie. Yep, I got.
• 1:41:09
  I got goosebumps talking about that.
• 1:41:11
  Yeah, it's so fucked up, man. It's so dark.
• 1:41:14
  I can't believe they go there. They leave you feeling like shit
• 1:41:17
  with this movie. They stab you in the Dick in
• 1:41:20
  this they do stab. You in the Dick?
• 1:41:22
  I'm gonna bump it up to A9. I think it does a lot.
• 1:41:26
  It does a lot with what it has. Very little, you know.
• 1:41:30
  Yeah, I'll, I'll bump it to 8 1/2.
• 1:41:33
  OK. Yeah, you're right.
• 1:41:34
  It does a whole lot. It's it's pretty deep, despite
• 1:41:39
  being pretty surface level with like what it presents.
• 1:41:42
  But like, it gives you enough there that you know that there's
• 1:41:45
  a lot of underlying shit going on that's driving a lot of the
• 1:41:48
  decisions being made in the movie.
• 1:41:50
  It's really interesting. It's definitely.
• 1:41:52
  So we talk about the term torture porn on this show a lot
• 1:41:56
  and how it's used to kind of like denigrate movies.
• 1:41:59
  But a lot of movies that fall into that category really have a
• 1:42:03
  lot of underlying themes with them.
• 1:42:05
  And this is for sure one of them.
• 1:42:07
  And I think it would be so easy to write it off, But it's
• 1:42:09
  actually a movie that warrants multiple watches because you
• 1:42:12
  just get so much from it each time.
• 1:42:14
  Yeah, for sure. And I guess for like the thing
• 1:42:17
  that I would change since I got the lower score, I would say
• 1:42:21
  let's combine the two bats that we had.
• 1:42:23
  So let's address some cut out the stuff with the doctor coming
• 1:42:28
  in to save them, and use the extra screen time to elaborate
• 1:42:32
  on these other people. Yeah, give us just a little bit
• 1:42:35
  more back story for them. Obviously we know they're
• 1:42:37
  desperate and they're in dire straits, but we need them to be
• 1:42:39
  a little less 1 dimensional so we can feel for them.
• 1:42:42
  Right. Yeah.
• 1:42:43
  Because, like, yeah, we we're going to be rooting for Iris no
• 1:42:45
  matter what. But like.
• 1:42:46
  Well, 'cause she's first of all, she's Brittany Snow.
• 1:42:49
  Yeah, exactly. But she wasn't doing this is the
• 1:42:52
  thing, you know? I and I'm just gonna say this, I
• 1:42:54
  love Brittany Snow blonde. I don't like it when she has the
• 1:42:58
  red hair. Yeah, she looks really good
• 1:43:00
  blonde, the red hair. Is that is like, that's such a
• 1:43:02
  weird thing for me to bring up. And it has no bearing on the
• 1:43:05
  movie and it has no bearing on Brittany Snow because she's
• 1:43:07
  Brittany fucking Snow. She doesn't care about my
• 1:43:08
  opinion, but like, I love it. She looks so good blonde.
• 1:43:13
  She's like and I hate it when people tell me that I would look
• 1:43:15
  really good blonde because I've tried it and I don't.
• 1:43:18
  But like, we've seen her in both versions and she looks so good
• 1:43:22
  blonde. So yeah, stay blonde.
• 1:43:25
  But yeah, no, there's you could have, like, it would be nice to
• 1:43:29
  make these decisions a little bit more impactful, like when
• 1:43:32
  they're beating up Travis with that whip, like make it like
• 1:43:35
  feel a little bit more because like maybe he's got that and we
• 1:43:39
  know he's a vet. But like, what exactly about
• 1:43:41
  that makes this a little bit more tragic?
• 1:43:43
  Maybe have him shout out the like a member of his platoon.
• 1:43:47
  And like that would be good. We we don't know the name and
• 1:43:49
  Jeffrey Combs because they've done all of like this research.
• 1:43:52
  He's like Oh yeah, that was a member of your squadron that got
• 1:43:54
  killed. Yeah, like just like throws off
• 1:43:56
  little off handed comments. So you're like oh God, he's
• 1:43:58
  having flashbacks as he's dying like and that, something like
• 1:44:01
  that. Makes it more clear that Jeffrey
• 1:44:04
  Combs character like has that background Intel on these
• 1:44:07
  people. Yeah, he is really nefarious.
• 1:44:09
  Yeah. I mean, we know he is, but like,
• 1:44:12
  mm hmm. Yeah.
• 1:44:13
  OK, so with that did, what did Talia think of?
• 1:44:19
  It so Talia was chilling on the chase the whole time she allowed
• 1:44:22
  you to tuck her in, which always means she's in a good mood.
• 1:44:24
  Yes, when she's being a little grumpy, but she won't.
• 1:44:28
  Little Grumpus won't let you tuck her in.
• 1:44:31
  And then when they started playing the game, she let out
• 1:44:34
  the old Triple F, which is a French fry fart.
• 1:44:39
  So she was appropriately frightened at that moment.
• 1:44:42
  She had some French fries just to give some.
• 1:44:44
  Content. Yeah, yeah, it.
• 1:44:47
  Was a very foul fart. Was it better or worse than a
• 1:44:52
  cheese fart? Cheese farts are worse.
• 1:44:54
  Triple fry Triple F farts are not too far away from.
• 1:44:58
  It it's just a triple F, Triple F fart is the same as saying I
• 1:45:01
  have something. Yeah, you're right.
• 1:45:04
  So all that to say, Talia was really, really in the mood for
• 1:45:09
  this movie. It took her there.
• 1:45:10
  She probably gives this A9. Yeah, I'd say so.
• 1:45:15
  Yeah. And.
• 1:45:16
  The only thing that would make it better is if there were some
• 1:45:18
  guard dogs that got to like have a little dog acting action but
• 1:45:22
  they don't get hurt. Yeah, but they seem like.
• 1:45:24
  A Yeah, that's how you. Can keep.
• 1:45:26
  That's how you can keep Doctor Barden in, and he's just like,
• 1:45:28
  scared away by the guard dogs. Yeah, release.
• 1:45:30
  The hounds, yeah, release the hounds.
• 1:45:32
  And Zoe was in Lauren's guarding a shark bed the whole time.
• 1:45:35
  Super happy. Yep, and that's this.
• 1:45:38
  Might start to get interesting with Lawrence Gordon a shark bed
• 1:45:41
  watch, because Scout has finally taken notice of it.
• 1:45:46
  So I think we're gonna start having some turf wars over it.
• 1:45:49
  Yeah. It's gonna become a problem.
• 1:45:51
  Yeah, we'll have to monitor. That stuff we haven't gotten
• 1:45:54
  there yet, but it's I I know our cats, after almost 10 years of
• 1:45:58
  both of them together, that's it's gonna be a problem.
• 1:46:00
  It's gonna be a Jeffrey Combs double sized situation, yeah.
• 1:46:05
  All right. Who did you relate to?
• 1:46:07
  Oh man, who did I relate to? Probably Doctor Barden looking
• 1:46:14
  at the couch and being so sad at the the pistachio shelves in
• 1:46:18
  that tweet. You're not gonna relate to Iris
• 1:46:21
  with the vegetarian. Oh, that's a good point.
• 1:46:24
  I just, I feel so cliched to relate yourself to the final
• 1:46:27
  girl, you know? No, I mean, I feel like it's
• 1:46:30
  really appropriate in this case. I would say so.
• 1:46:32
  OK. Yeah.
• 1:46:32
  I guess with the. Yeah.
• 1:46:34
  So, yeah. OK.
• 1:46:36
  So with the vegetarian thing, the shoes in the barrel thing,
• 1:46:43
  yeah, I think. And I would do a lot of probably
• 1:46:47
  unspeakable things for my sisters.
• 1:46:49
  So yeah, yeah, let's go with that.
• 1:46:53
  OK, that's a good point. That's a good point.
• 1:46:55
  Also the accents while cooking. Yeah, that's true too, yeah.
• 1:47:01
  So I'm basically Brittany Snow. I feel like I also related to
• 1:47:05
  her. When we covered X I feel like I
• 1:47:07
  probably picked her. I think I picked her character,
• 1:47:10
  you and Brittany. Snow just.
• 1:47:12
  I just love Brittany Snow. Yeah.
• 1:47:13
  I also love her in Pitch Perfect.
• 1:47:15
  She's my favorite part of that movie.
• 1:47:16
  She's the best part of that. Yeah, she really is.
• 1:47:20
  Okay. Let's see.
• 1:47:21
  Who did I relate to? It's so easy for me to go for
• 1:47:24
  the Travis one. I feel like we don't get Travis.
• 1:47:26
  'S a lot. Travis's a lot.
• 1:47:29
  We really don't. I get plenty of Jesse's and it's
• 1:47:31
  hit or miss if they're like good or not.
• 1:47:33
  But we don't get a lot of Travis's and when it's due,
• 1:47:35
  they're either an asshole or they're getting the shit kicked
• 1:47:38
  out of them. I'd probably get the shit kicked
• 1:47:41
  out of me if I were in one of these things.
• 1:47:43
  I wouldn't fire off my mouth like you did, but like
• 1:47:47
  sometimes. You would.
• 1:47:48
  It would depend on how strong the wine was.
• 1:47:50
  If they gave you really strong wine, you get a little froggy.
• 1:47:53
  I get froggy. Maybe I'm like, going over there
• 1:47:54
  trying to hug Shepherd. He's like, all right, give that
• 1:47:57
  boy some lashes, 'cause that's what I used to do.
• 1:48:01
  I used to get super drunk and try and pick people up and hug
• 1:48:03
  them and yeah, it's not happening.
• 1:48:04
  Well, you didn't try and pick people up, You picked people up.
• 1:48:06
  I've got pictures of you picking up almost every single member of
• 1:48:09
  your fraternity. That's true.
• 1:48:11
  So. So, yeah, I guess so.
• 1:48:14
  You know, maybe that's what it was.
• 1:48:15
  I I get the lashes and crabmen would be like, let's finish.
• 1:48:23
  I don't wanna be hugged. I don't know how quickly you
• 1:48:26
  heal from whipping, but I don't wanna be picked up.
• 1:48:30
  Yeah, it's understandable, Okay. Let's see when is.
• 1:48:36
  This do we have A tag? No a new tagline.
• 1:48:38
  No no. Dream SQL first.
• 1:48:40
  Dream SQL. Dream SQL, which I when I was
• 1:48:43
  trying to look for, I really wanted to get Ricky's quote
• 1:48:46
  about gambling. I wanted that to be my
• 1:48:48
  beginning. That would have been great.
• 1:48:49
  Did you hear my little Canadian? That I did in honor?
• 1:48:51
  Of him, Yeah, you did. You did a good job.
• 1:48:54
  I really wanted that. But when I was trying to look it
• 1:48:56
  up, it came up with would you rather 2?
• 1:49:00
  And I was like, that's not a thing, 'cause we for sure would
• 1:49:02
  have watched it. And it's just a lot of things
• 1:49:05
  that people have, like, speculated or wanted, or there's
• 1:49:08
  like apparently recent rumors of a sequel.
• 1:49:10
  So, well, I don't believe it, 'cause there were also rumors
• 1:49:14
  back in like 2013 and 2014, so. This is an easy one to do a
• 1:49:17
  sequel for because everything kind of stays in place here,
• 1:49:20
  like they can have another game. Yeah.
• 1:49:22
  Maybe we do see the aftermath of Iris having to actually do shit
• 1:49:28
  for the Foundation now. Yeah, now that she's like,
• 1:49:31
  really got nobody left because Riley's gone.
• 1:49:35
  Is she? Did she start working at the
• 1:49:39
  practice? Maybe she went back to school
• 1:49:41
  and became a doctor. She wants to help people.
• 1:49:43
  She took over Doctor Barden's clinic, but now she has to bring
• 1:49:46
  in people. I I like that.
• 1:49:48
  But I want her to actually embrace the role now.
• 1:49:51
  She has no family. I want to see the power struggle
• 1:49:55
  between her and Julian. Is this too similar to our dream
• 1:49:59
  sequel to Hostel Part 2? Because we pitched a very
• 1:50:02
  similar thing? It's.
• 1:50:03
  Kind of similar, but I I would, I think it would be really
• 1:50:05
  interesting to watch Jeffrey Combs characters start to really
• 1:50:09
  favor her over Julie. Oh my God.
• 1:50:11
  He, like, kind of adopts her. Yeah, exactly.
• 1:50:13
  Like she becomes part of the family.
• 1:50:15
  And like, he's starting to get jealous.
• 1:50:17
  OK, so there's Step Siblings. Maybe they do like a Cruel
• 1:50:20
  Intentions thing. I've never seen that movie.
• 1:50:22
  I know, but we did discuss the plot in depth the other night
• 1:50:25
  because I was trying to explain to you how wrong you were about
• 1:50:28
  it. OK, Well, yes, we.
• 1:50:29
  OK, I could see that maybe happening.
• 1:50:32
  But, you know, I think that that could be really interesting,
• 1:50:35
  that dynamic. And then, yeah, she could still,
• 1:50:37
  like all things could be true. Like she could have still really
• 1:50:39
  benefited from that. She could be a doctor at like,
• 1:50:41
  helping people in that way. And she's trying to justify it
• 1:50:44
  that way, You know, like she's struggling with her own moral
• 1:50:48
  quandaries. She's made that before she
• 1:50:50
  killed the guy. She's like, whoa, this is to
• 1:50:51
  save somebody. So now she's like, I got to kill
• 1:50:53
  a whole room of people to save all kinds of other people.
• 1:50:55
  What if we combine it with like a saw two kind of moment and
• 1:50:58
  she's thrown back in the game? See, And that's the thing, too.
• 1:51:01
  I always. I have like a sinking suspicion
• 1:51:03
  that maybe Lucas could have been a.
• 1:51:06
  Plant. Plant.
• 1:51:07
  Yeah. See, you see what I'm saying?
• 1:51:09
  There's something about him that like he's too good and pure in
• 1:51:12
  all of the situation, and it just seems like he has almost no
• 1:51:16
  survival instincts in a way that makes him suspicious.
• 1:51:19
  I agree. He's the one that orchestrated
• 1:51:21
  the whole like, mutiny. Yeah, too.
• 1:51:22
  Yeah, yeah. And notice how Cal's the one
• 1:51:25
  that got shot. He just got like.
• 1:51:27
  Sat back down. Yeah.
• 1:51:28
  Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
• 1:51:30
  So, yeah, I could see that she could be a plant and we could
• 1:51:32
  see how that goes from that perspective.
• 1:51:34
  Yeah. Interesting.
• 1:51:35
  OK. OK, we got one.
• 1:51:37
  All right. Now we got tackling.
• 1:51:39
  All right, I'm wearing my pool party massacre shirt and all I
• 1:51:42
  can think of is worst dinner party ever.
• 1:51:47
  I like that. I also kind of like the timer
• 1:51:51
  starts now. Would you rather the timer
• 1:51:54
  starts now? It kind of plays into it because
• 1:51:55
  they have like 15 seconds to decide.
• 1:51:58
  I like that. That's like we can refine it
• 1:52:01
  serious. And it kind of like ties into
• 1:52:03
  the movie you've got. 15 seconds.
• 1:52:06
  You've got 15 seconds to decide, yes.
• 1:52:10
  That's better, Yeah, I like that a lot, 'cause yeah, that kinda.
• 1:52:12
  It gives you a little bit of mystery like woo.
• 1:52:16
  It plays into it. You must make a choice.
• 1:52:20
  You must follow through on that choice.
• 1:52:23
  You have 15 seconds to decide. That's good, yeah.
• 1:52:26
  Feels like. One of those movies that needs
• 1:52:28
  like a three line tag. Yeah.
• 1:52:29
  Oh my God, that's really good. Oh yeah, we're getting good at
• 1:52:33
  this. We are God fucking hire us
• 1:52:36
  Hollywood. Yes, please.
• 1:52:37
  If nothing else, for for a tagline.
• 1:52:41
  OK, so time for reviews. OK, I pulled A1 star review off
• 1:52:46
  of IMDb. Those Chodes.
• 1:52:50
  One outs in killing for a dead man.
• 1:52:54
  This was reviewed on Halloween Day in 2019.
• 1:52:57
  OK, So what what was going on in how that was the last good
• 1:53:01
  Halloween for for a long time? All right, they say.
• 1:53:07
  I thought this movie sounded intriguing, but was incredibly
• 1:53:10
  disappointed when it turned out to be nothing but a dinner party
• 1:53:13
  where everyone dies except the winner and then the good girl
• 1:53:17
  who won the game went home to a dead brother.
• 1:53:19
  No victory. I feel depressed as fuck now
• 1:53:22
  once start outs in goodbye. I think they just don't like how
• 1:53:26
  this movie didn't have the resolution that they really
• 1:53:28
  wanted from it which I I think it's kind of.
• 1:53:31
  I think it's nice like I I had it as my bad that like you don't
• 1:53:35
  really have any payoff but like you want it but like some movies
• 1:53:40
  just don't have it and I don't really like.
• 1:53:43
  I think this perfectly encapsulates the whole point of
• 1:53:46
  the movie. Like what are you doing it for
• 1:53:48
  and is it going to be worth it in the end?
• 1:53:49
  Yeah, exactly. I also just made this connection
• 1:53:53
  now, but 'cause I do a reread of Hunger Games every year, and
• 1:53:57
  with Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes coming out, hopefully to
• 1:54:00
  streaming soon, but I'm getting ready to just pay the $6 rental
• 1:54:02
  fee. You've been watching the movies
• 1:54:05
  with me and this is all first time for you.
• 1:54:07
  And I remember when we get to the end of Mockingjay Part 2,
• 1:54:10
  you were just like, wait, the sister died, the sister died,
• 1:54:13
  she volunteered for the sister, and the sister died.
• 1:54:14
  You were so mad. And it feels very kind of like
• 1:54:18
  this, except Iris doesn't have another person to lean on like
• 1:54:22
  Peter Hamich at the end. See, The thing is like you're
• 1:54:25
  watching a movie you you don't expect it to be so mean and
• 1:54:29
  cruel. But like sometimes movies can be
• 1:54:31
  mean and cruel. Yeah, it's kind of nice to go
• 1:54:33
  the way that you. Sometimes that's kind of the
• 1:54:35
  point. Also, I'm sorry but when you're
• 1:54:37
  watching a horror movie, you have to expect that 80% of the
• 1:54:40
  cast is gonna die at a minimum, if not close to closer to 95
• 1:54:45
  like. Yeah, generally everybody dies.
• 1:54:47
  I like. I get it, yeah.
• 1:54:48
  Dinner party. One girl walks out at the end.
• 1:54:50
  But I don't know what you read from the synopsis that would
• 1:54:52
  lead you to believe otherwise. Yeah, OK, listen, reviews.
• 1:54:56
  OK, All right. Starting off with our own
• 1:54:58
  Instagram review with Michael E Howard.
• 1:55:01
  Who says, would you rather watch a great movie or miss out on a
• 1:55:05
  new classic? When I was younger and watched
• 1:55:08
  it, I truly enjoyed it. I truly enjoyed it.
• 1:55:10
  More of this go around. How far would you go for someone
• 1:55:12
  you love? I spent most of the movie
• 1:55:14
  thinking about that. I would absolutely give this an
• 1:55:16
  8 out of 10. Always.
• 1:55:18
  Right. Yeah, with us, Michael.
• 1:55:20
  That's cool. I mean, yeah, like.
• 1:55:21
  And I was so confused by the beginning of the review, like,
• 1:55:25
  would you rather watch a great movie or in our new classic?
• 1:55:27
  And I was like, wait, which is which?
• 1:55:29
  And I was like. Oh, you're not.
• 1:55:30
  In both or this movie, OK. I I like now.
• 1:55:34
  It also makes you think about like put yourself in their
• 1:55:38
  shoes, like what would you do in this scenario?
• 1:55:40
  It's not an easy question to answer when you really think.
• 1:55:43
  About it, No, like you like. And I really this time spent a
• 1:55:47
  long time while we were watching you trying to like, think about
• 1:55:51
  it, like what would my decision be?
• 1:55:53
  I probably would do the shocking myself.
• 1:55:56
  You know, instead of shouting the person next to me with the
• 1:55:58
  stabbing, I would tell the person next to me stabbing.
• 1:56:00
  I got plenty of fat. This is.
• 1:56:02
  There's no arteries here. This is all fat.
• 1:56:05
  Like, you're fine. You can just stab me right
• 1:56:07
  there. It's good you got.
• 1:56:09
  Muscle too, you got, you got strong legs, Jesse.
• 1:56:12
  You don't give yourself enough credit.
• 1:56:13
  You got a lot of like. Muscle.
• 1:56:14
  I forgot that I danced for most of my life and I got that going
• 1:56:17
  on. But still this this is an artery
• 1:56:20
  right here. This is, this is a little thick
• 1:56:23
  so you can just stab me and it's good.
• 1:56:25
  They. Didn't say you had.
• 1:56:26
  I had to stab him in the artery. There's so much other leg.
• 1:56:28
  Just stab him, they said. Thigh and your arteries like
• 1:56:32
  like right there like. Doop, doop, doop.
• 1:56:35
  Doop. Yeah, come on.
• 1:56:36
  Linda probably had a lot of muscle atrophy, so I'll I'll
• 1:56:39
  give Peter a pass on that. Fair enough, fair enough.
• 1:56:43
  All right, over to Twitter Word, Zombie says.
• 1:56:46
  I remember watching this after learning this was different from
• 1:56:49
  truth or dare. That's an easy thing to.
• 1:56:51
  Hell yeah. I hope you.
• 1:56:53
  I hope you're going through our back catalogue now, yeah?
• 1:56:56
  I hope you are. This is a brutal movie.
• 1:56:59
  You are going to feel bad for almost everyone in this movie.
• 1:57:02
  The ending is supposed to be happy and it just does not.
• 1:57:06
  Nope, it is a good movie. Just be ready.
• 1:57:09
  So yeah, don't go in thinking you're going to have a good time
• 1:57:11
  and be, like, satisfied with the conclusion, 'cause that's not
• 1:57:15
  the movie you're going to get. We're sex with mom and we're
• 1:57:17
  here to be sad and talk about life and stuff.
• 1:57:19
  That's that's this movie. Exactly.
• 1:57:22
  Tower says. One of the cruelest endings
• 1:57:24
  ever. In horror, my jaw hits the floor
• 1:57:26
  every time. Everyone was great in this, and
• 1:57:28
  I'm always happy to see Brittany snow.
• 1:57:30
  Also, the eye thing ruined me. It ruined everybody.
• 1:57:33
  Buddy fucking sucks. I love that we share this poster
• 1:57:37
  sometimes. I remember your sister like
• 1:57:39
  replies. She's like, what the fuck movie
• 1:57:41
  is this? No, no, I'm pretty sure that was
• 1:57:43
  about society. No, it was this too, because.
• 1:57:45
  She wasn't this too. Yeah, she's like, Domo wants to
• 1:57:48
  know. Oh, different sister.
• 1:57:50
  Yeah, OK. Yeah.
• 1:57:51
  This one, yeah, she's like, Domo needs to know what movie.
• 1:57:53
  This is I feel. Like we need to be talking to
• 1:57:54
  Domo about more movies. I don't know, Aquilee Booth
• 1:57:58
  says. It's like Saw meets rat Race.
• 1:58:00
  Good cast and enjoyable movie. OK, have you ever seen Rat Race?
• 1:58:05
  It's a fun movie. Parts of it.
• 1:58:07
  Yeah, that's an apartment. Yeah, no, I know enough about
• 1:58:11
  the premise, and that really is a good description of this.
• 1:58:13
  Yeah, final review from our buddy Chad.
• 1:58:16
  Chad says Mean little movie, a lead you can root for, and
• 1:58:20
  gratuitous cones. Wait, no such thing Script.
• 1:58:23
  Is tight. You cannot have gratuitous
• 1:58:25
  cones. It's just cones.
• 1:58:28
  Script is tight and most of the support cast is good.
• 1:58:30
  Still seems to be under scene for some reason.
• 1:58:33
  Solid feel, bad movie all the way around.
• 1:58:35
  Oh my God, I love the term Feel bad movie.
• 1:58:39
  Thank you for that, Chad. Hold on, he's got a, he's got a,
• 1:58:41
  he's got a pair in here. Pair with cheap thrills and be
• 1:58:44
  nihilistic for a few. Oh my God.
• 1:58:47
  Also perfect. And isn't there somebody else
• 1:58:49
  from Trailer Park Boys involved in Cheap Thrills?
• 1:58:52
  Or am I step with something else?
• 1:58:54
  Another Canadian dude, but it's got David Kettner in it.
• 1:58:58
  Okay, okay, Yeah, yeah. No, that is a really good
• 1:59:02
  hearing. I do love the term, cuz we talk
• 1:59:05
  about feel good movies all the time.
• 1:59:06
  Do Yeah, I love a feel bad movie.
• 1:59:08
  That's so. Good.
• 1:59:09
  Sometimes you just want to be brought back down to earth.
• 1:59:11
  Like I wanna feel bad right now. That's when I go watch Requiem
• 1:59:15
  for a Dream. You've done that twice.
• 1:59:18
  I feel bad every single time. One time, Yeah, no one time's
• 1:59:22
  enough for them. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:59:25
  When Travis Knight first started dating, he said his favorite
• 1:59:27
  movie was Requiem for a Dream. And it took probably three or
• 1:59:29
  four years into our relationship before we no, it was two years,
• 1:59:32
  'cause we're it was our senior year.
• 1:59:35
  We found it at Hastings and we watched it together and I was
• 1:59:39
  like, wow, that's a really intense movie.
• 1:59:41
  I see why you like it. And you're like, this is my
• 1:59:42
  second time watching it. I was like, you said it's your
• 1:59:44
  favorite and you were like, yeah, but it's a lot.
• 1:59:47
  You understand why I haven't watched it a lot.
• 1:59:49
  Yeah, it's so much it. It attacks you in so many.
• 1:59:52
  I feel like the only Darren Aronofsky movie I can watch
• 1:59:55
  without needing a several year hiatus between is probably Black
• 1:59:59
  Swan. Yeah.
• 1:59:59
  I was going to say Black Swan. 'S probably about like mother.
• 2:00:02
  I am finally, I think, emotionally ready enough to
• 2:00:04
  watch Again, Mother. 'S so fucking weird.
• 2:00:07
  Oh God, I don't. I don't even know if I'm ready
• 2:00:09
  for that one. All right, So that's it.
• 2:00:12
  That's it. That's it for this.
• 2:00:14
  Guess what we have next week, everybody?
• 2:00:17
  It's our 200th episode. And we are doing it in.
• 2:00:21
  Style. Movie we're We've been waiting
• 2:00:24
  for the right moment to do this. In the 200th was the perfect
• 2:00:28
  moment. Yeah, we are watching dude bro
• 2:00:31
  party massacre. Three.
• 2:00:32
  Hell. Yeah, I'm so.
• 2:00:34
  Fucking excited. This is one of those movies.
• 2:00:37
  It has no right to be as fucking funny as it is.
• 2:00:40
  It's amazing and it's very watchable because it's made by
• 2:00:44
  like the team behind 5 second films.
• 2:00:46
  So it's which means it's generally Bug Ted, which makes
• 2:00:51
  it very watchable for us, is the good news.
• 2:00:55
  You can watch it on Tubi Fandango at home, Freebie Prime,
• 2:00:59
  or you can rent it from YouTube or Google Blaine.
• 2:01:01
  Honestly, I know normally we say if there's free options, watch
• 2:01:04
  shows, but throw money at people too if you want did.
• 2:01:06
  You say voodoo. I didn't say voodoo that didn't
• 2:01:09
  pop up here. Voodoo's on here.
• 2:01:10
  Yep, that's weird. It normally pops up for me.
• 2:01:12
  Yep. So yeah, it's pretty much just,
• 2:01:15
  it's a very. Watchable movie.
• 2:01:16
  I tell everybody to watch it and it's so funny because the people
• 2:01:19
  that aren't like, haven't ever heard of it will be like, do I
• 2:01:22
