Latest / Two Cents: We See Scary Movies / Shark Night (2011) – Sharks, Snuff Films, and the Worst Vacation Ever | Two Cents Horror Podcast
Transcript
- 0:00Welcome to Two Cents. We See Scary Movies, the podcast
- 0:02where we sink our teeth into horror films, one bite at a
- 0:05time. This month's theme is terror in
- 0:07the deep, from the depths of the ocean to the darkness of space.
- 0:10If it's lurking where the light doesn't reach, we're talking
- 0:13about it. I'm Talon, the one who doesn't
- 0:15bother with forks because why take polite little nibbles when
- 0:18you can scoop up a whole mouthful at once?
- 0:20Basically, I eat like a shark attacks.
- 0:22No chewing, no regrets. And with me is Dan, who honestly
- 0:26thinks a shark attack might be less stressful than dealing with
- 0:29certain people. Here he sees five days a week,
- 0:31bites off his leg. He'll take swimming in circles
- 0:33for the rest of his life over sitting through another endless
- 0:36meeting with some 9 to fivers he knows.
- 0:38This week, we're diving head first into Shark Night, a movie
- 0:41that proves you don't need a bigger boat, you just need
- 0:43better friends who won't feed you to the sharks for clicks.
- 0:46Let's get into it. All right.
- 0:53I felt like that description for you was fitting for this week.
- 0:57Yes, it is. It's very fitting this week.
- 0:59Hopefully none of them listen to the podcast.
- 1:03Are they talking about me? I don't believe they do.
- 1:05Yeah, I don't believe so. And if they do, I'll be
- 1:09surprised. Yeah.
- 1:10It was that one, Garrett. No.
- 1:12Who's the one that you always make fun of?
- 1:13Griffin. Griffin, he's no longer works
- 1:15with us. He went to a different program.
- 1:17He's dead to me. Look at him.
- 1:19All right, so let's get into this movie.
- 1:21The movie opens with a girl out in the lake.
- 1:23Right away we get those ominous underwater shots, like
- 1:26something's lurking beneath watching her.
- 1:28She's just kind of bobbing around by herself, not really
- 1:30swimming, not really panicking, just hanging out.
- 1:33Then suddenly she screams. But Nope, false alarm.
- 1:36It's just her boyfriend popping up from underneath and putting
- 1:38her on his shoulders. They mess around a little.
- 1:40He snatches her bikini top and tosses it further out into the
- 1:43water. She tells him he's going to have
- 1:44to go get it, but he's like Nah, I'm getting lunch and just
- 1:47leaves her there. Real gentleman.
- 1:49Yeah, we're fantastic. So he walks back up toward their
- 1:52camper and the camera cuts back to her.
- 1:55She goes to retrieve her bikini top, and as she's putting it
- 1:58back on and heading back toward the beach, bam, she's grabbed
- 2:01from underneath and yanked down. And here's OK, so here's this on
- 2:05a weird, I think it's weird, but there's this weird shark physics
- 2:09that comes in. Now, I'm not a sharkaeologist or
- 2:12anything like that, and I'm not sure what the real technical
- 2:14term is for that. Sharkaeologist.
- 2:19But I don't know if sharks do this in real life, but it just
- 2:23thrashes her from side to side. And I see this in every shark
- 2:26movie and it's left to right, left to right, left to right,
- 2:29like some old timey typewriter. Tap, tap, tap, return, tap, tap,
- 2:32tap, return. I guess it's just how sharks do
- 2:34it. Right.
- 2:37I'm going to look that up and see if I can find anything on
- 2:39that. OK, good.
- 2:43You do all the research. All right, so meanwhile, she's
- 2:45screaming, but apparently her boyfriend doesn't hear a thing.
- 2:48She makes a desperate swim toward a wooden raft out in the
- 2:50middle of the lake, kind of like the one in the Stephen King
- 2:52short. The raft.
- 2:53Well, it is like the one. It's not kind of, But the shark
- 2:56gets her before she makes it. The water turns red, she
- 2:59disappears under the water, and that's it.
- 3:01And then those two, we pretty much never see them again.
- 3:04We kind of get a glimpse of her a little bit later, but they
- 3:07really aren't overly pertinent to the whole story.
- 3:09Next we cut to a college campus. Inside a dorm room, there's a
- 3:12guy named Gordon who's glued to his video game.
- 3:14He's playing online with a couple other guys while Nick,
- 3:17who's pre Med, is buried in his books trying to study.
- 3:20Gordon keeps nagging at him to play, but Nick's like Nope I
- 3:23can't, I've got this whole 7 year graduation plan to stick
- 3:25to. Of course, Gordon just logs him
- 3:27in anyway, basically for forcing him to join or he'll lose his
- 3:30points or something. So let me mention that the actor
- 3:34who plays Gordon, whenever I see him, I always know that the
- 3:38movie is going to be complete cheese ball.
- 3:41Now I like him, I do like him as an actor and he always plays a
- 3:45good role, but you always know the movie itself is going to be
- 3:48cheesy as hell. Was Avatar cheesy?
- 3:51I hated Avatar. Yeah, I didn't.
- 3:52I, I watched it once and that was it.
- 3:54I I never watched another one sequel or anything.
- 3:56I don't know what the big deal is, but I don't know if it's
- 3:58cheesy, but but yeah, I love him.
- 4:01He's one of my favorite. It was.
- 4:03I mean, Avatar to me was basically elongated Smurfs,
- 4:06right? Yeah, I always just wondered if
- 4:10they if the whole world they lived in was in a toilet bowl of
- 4:15some old lady who always used the blue toilet bowl cleaning
- 4:18thing. The thing.
- 4:23Wouldn't it be kind of funny if they just lived in her toilet
- 4:25and it we all thought it was some major world but it was
- 4:27really because it was that tidy bowl, that stuff you put in the
- 4:30back of the toilet anyway. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 4:33Kind of kind of like, what were those things?
- 4:36They're like little shrimps, but you could.
- 4:38They're always like in the kids magazines, like I forget what
- 4:42they were called. Oh, they were sea monkeys.
- 4:45There we go, sea monkeys. Yeah, which were just little
- 4:48brine shrimp. Yeah.
- 4:49And they never worked. I had some.
- 4:52No. So right then this guy barges
- 4:58in. His name is Malik and he comes
- 5:00in hot yelling at Nick about his grade.
- 5:02He's all up in Nick's face saying, man, I need at least AC
- 5:05to keep my scholarship. The athletic department told me
- 5:07you were the best tutor on campus.
- 5:09He's ranting about how if he doesn't pass, he's going to back
- 5:12to the four O 1 or something and he'll because he'll lose a
- 5:14scholarship, he doesn't get at least AC.
- 5:16And so of course Nick is staying there terrified and like, oh
- 5:20fuck, you know. And then he's like getting
- 5:22closer to him and he's like, really pissed off.
- 5:24And then he pulls out his paper real dramatic.
- 5:26And suddenly he's like, I got AB.
- 5:28So it was a total fake out. He hugs Nick, laughing, and the
- 5:31whole room cracks up because it's ha ha hilarious.
- 5:34And practically shoots his pants.
- 5:36Right. So turns out Malik has a plan.
- 5:39He wants everyone to head out to Lake Crosby for the weekend to
- 5:42celebrate, I guess Nick tries to bail because he's got school
- 5:45work, of course, but Malik convinces him the second he
- 5:48mentions we're going to Sarah Palsky's house.
- 5:51And Nick's like, wait, Sarah Palsky?
- 5:53That was all it took. Sarah Palsky Yeah, all the boys
- 5:57go there. All the boys.
- 5:59So then we cut to Sarah mid workout just to drive home the
- 6:02point I guess who she is. That's all we see of her right
- 6:06then there a quick glimpse of her working out.
- 6:09Then we meet a couple more characters.
- 6:11There's Maya, she's Malik's girlfriend and she calls up
- 6:14another girl who at this time they don't really give her a
- 6:16name, but she's clearly styled as the bad girl of the group and
- 6:20she's got she's in the midst of getting a tattoo on her ass,
- 6:23although they make it seem like she's getting ready to get
- 6:25fucked up the ass. Then they're talking.
- 6:29Yeah. So they're talking about, you
- 6:30know, the weekend. And then there's this random guy
- 6:33who's a nude art model, and they show him doing his nude art
- 6:36modeling. And he doesn't have a name at
- 6:38this point either, but he's just naked and striking the pose.
- 6:41So then we cut back to Nick, Malik and Gordon.
- 6:44Malik pulls out an engagement ring.
- 6:45He's planning to propose to Maya during their Little lake
- 6:48getaway. Gordon just stares at him.
- 6:49Like, dude, you're one of the top ten draft picks in the
- 6:51country. Why are you chaining yourself
- 6:53down to one girl this early? But Malik doesn't hesitate.
- 6:56He's like Maya was with me when I was poor so she doesn't.
- 6:59She deserves to be with me when I'm bawling.
- 7:00So yeah, makes sense. She's the ride or die chick I
- 7:04guess. Then the nude art model rolls in
- 7:07literally on a skateboard up to the group and we finally get his
- 7:10name. It's Blake and they're standing,
- 7:12they're outside at the school. So not not long after that, Maya
- 7:16and the so-called bad girl pull up in a big SUV.
- 7:20The guys pile in with them and I've got to say, this movie
- 7:22actually does it right. Unlike Beaver Lake, where for
- 7:24some reason the girls drove in one car and the guys in another.
- 7:27They all start in the same place.
- 7:29They all left together in the same vehicle.
- 7:31Makes sense, right? Yes, yes it does.
- 7:34I was going to say you could almost say that they didn't have
- 7:37enough room in each vehicle in Fever Lake, but that would be a
- 7:40complete lie. Right, they could have probably
- 7:44all gotten into a little SUV the boys were in.
- 7:46So finally Sarah shows up with her dog.
- 7:48The dog pops in the back with Gordon and Nick, Sarah climbs
- 7:51into the front somewhere, and off they go.
- 7:53And then cue the obligatory Rd. ship montage with upbeat music,
- 7:56because what's a horror movie getaway without a quick happy
- 7:59montage before things get messy? Yeah, of course.
- 8:01So the crew finally makes it to the little town they're headed
- 8:04to, and first stop is the bait shop.
- 8:07I half expected them to go in for bait and end up with dream
- 8:09analysis. Well, I mean, that's why you go
- 8:14to the bait shop. Yes, apparently that's what that
- 8:16what bait shops are for in these kind of movies.
- 8:18So inside we do get a little clarification.
- 8:21The bad girl's name is Beth. And just so everyone's caught
- 8:24up, the blonde is Sarah. She's the one that you know,
- 8:27she's the one whose house we're going to.
- 8:29Took me a minute. Anyway, Beth immediately
- 8:32announces she has to pee because apparently that was essential
- 8:35information for the group. Well, always.
- 8:37You always have to let the group know when you got to go pee.
- 8:40Right before heading off to the bathroom with Beth, Sarah
- 8:43casually drops that. Once they get out of the out to
- 8:46the lake house. The cell phones don't work, so
- 8:49if anyone needs to make any calls, they need to do it now.
- 8:51Good old foreshadowing 101. Right or forever hold your
- 8:54peace. Right.
- 8:55Meanwhile, Beth and Sarah are in the bathroom chatting.
- 8:58Beth is eyeing Nick and basically says she's ready to
- 9:01help him lose his innocence this weekend.
- 9:03Real subtle. What does that mean?
- 9:06I don't know. They'll probably tell us later
- 9:08or we'll see. We'll see later.
- 9:10Back in the store, Nick, Gordon and Blake are stocking up on
- 9:13food and alcohol. Actually, I think it was more
- 9:14just alcohol. I don't think I didn't really
- 9:16saw any food. Gordon, in his usual classy way,
- 9:18tells Nick he needs to get Sarah drunk so he can, and, I quote,
- 9:22tickle her privates. That's not rapey.
- 9:29So Nick thankfully isn't having it.
- 9:32He's like, yeah, that's not really my weekend plan, so props
- 9:36to Nick. Outside, Malik and Maya are
- 9:38hanging out when a beat up truck pulls in.
- 9:40Out of the passenger side comes this redneck with razor sharp
- 9:44teeth and a cigarette dangling from his mouth.
- 9:46Then back in the store, the store's clerk is watching
- 9:50everything going on in the bathroom on the CCTV.
- 9:53Yeah, that's that's a bit much. Yeah, super classy establishment
- 9:57there. So then we go back outside.
- 9:59The redneck makes a racial comment toward Malik and Maya.
- 10:02Malik is black and Maya is Hispanic.
- 10:05He says something about how nice it is that Malik let the help
- 10:08sit up front, and when Malik calls him out, he throws in a
- 10:11nawabla in glaze and suggests he can teach her in the back of his
- 10:15truck English. So of course Malik's not letting
- 10:18that slide. He shoves the guy up against the
- 10:20truck. Then another man shows up.
- 10:22He was driving the truck. He walks around.
- 10:24He's a little redneck, a little less redneck looking.
- 10:27He's like, I'll buff and whatever.
- 10:29But he calls Malik boy, which of course sets Malik off even more.
- 10:33The guy takes off his sunglasses and we see this huge scar
- 10:36wrapped around his eye. He leans in, as cool as we can
- 10:40be and says try not to mess up my face.
- 10:43Then just as things are about to explode, Sarah steps in.
- 10:46She recognizes him. She says Dennis and suddenly the
- 10:50tension shifts. Dennis goes from goes from
- 10:52menacing to polite and about two seconds flat.
- 10:55He calls the whole thing a misunderstanding and blames it
- 10:57on his buddy Red, saying that he had too much to drink.
- 11:00Goddamn red, right? Clearly there's history 3 here.
- 11:03Dennis and Sarah catch up briefly.
- 11:05He asks how college is going, she's says she's got like a year
- 11:08left and he asks if she's majoring in English.
- 11:11And then he's like Oh no, wait a minute, psychology.
- 11:13And then Sarah brushes it off and says that she's got to go
- 11:16and telling him that it was nice to see him.
- 11:18Then a smile says take care and walks away.
- 11:21Then the whole gang heads over to the dock where there's a guy
- 11:23there already who has Sarah's boat prepared for them.
- 11:27I guess it must be a family boat that they just leave there.
- 11:30I don't know. They pile in.
- 11:32It's a nice. I kind of caught that too.
- 11:34Yeah, they pile in. It's a nice big old speedboat.
- 11:37The guy waves them off it with a, you know, have a good time on
- 11:39the island and they're gone. So we get boat on the water
- 11:43montage with upbeat music playing.
- 11:45Everyone's drinking, laughing, having a great time.
- 11:47Then out of nowhere, a smaller boat cuts in behind them, has a
- 11:51siren on. Looks like might be like lake
- 11:54patrol or something. Not really sure what it is at
- 11:55this point. Lights are flashing, sirens
- 11:58blaring. Error decides to speed up and go
- 12:02as fast as she can, and now everyone's freaking out.
- 12:04They're all yelling. Sarah, stop, just stop, just
- 12:06stop. But she just keeps going until
- 12:07she finally pulls up to her dock.
- 12:09Well, the patrol boat pulls in next to her, and Nick gets out
- 12:14and ties up their boat. And then the other guy turned,
- 12:17who turns out to be the sheriff. He actually throws a bumper
- 12:20over, but he never actually ties up to his own boat.
- 12:23Yeah. He looks at Sarah and goes Well,
- 12:25well, well. You should consider yourself
- 12:26undefeated. They both laugh like it's an old
- 12:29inside joke. They trade some banter and he
- 12:31casually asks for a beer. He downs it and says he'll be
- 12:34back tomorrow since he promised Sarah's mom he'd drop off her
- 12:36mail. Then he adds, nice to see you
- 12:38back Sarah. It's been a long three years.
- 12:40So then you cue another fast-paced montage.
- 12:42And when I say fast-paced, they do speed it up like it's all
- 12:46speed up. Yeah, they do, yeah.
- 12:49Everybody's hauling their bags inside.
- 12:50Maya and Beth are changing into their bathing suit tops.
- 12:53People are exploring the house. The whole gang eventually ends
- 12:56up outside by the pool. Blake finds the jet ski and
- 12:59looks like he's just found religion.
- 13:01He's super excited about it. Then we cut to Nick and Malik in
- 13:05the boat. Nick asks what Sarah's story is
- 13:08and Malik admits he doesn't really know.
- 13:10Says he's never seen her date anyone, never seen her hook up
- 13:13at parties, nothing. In the three years he's known
- 13:15her, all she's ever done is hang out with her dog, Sherman.
- 13:18So Sherman, sure enough, there we see Sarah standing by the
- 13:21water with Sherman. She tosses a stick into the
- 13:23lake. I don't know what kind of arm
- 13:25this girl's got on her. She should probably be playing
- 13:27football or something because she throws the she tosses it
- 13:31into the lake. And then you see the dog go
- 13:34after it. And of course we get these
- 13:35ominous underwater shots and the music is telling us something's
- 13:39down there watching. And for a second the dog's gone.
- 13:42Like, I'm like, how far did she throw this fucking stick?
- 13:44Because you couldn't see the dog anymore.
- 13:46So but then you're also worried. That I almost turned it off off
- 13:49thinking that the dog got hurt. Right.
- 13:51I was like, oh, great, They're going to take out the dog first.
- 13:53I was like, wonderful. So Sarah's staring out the
- 13:57water. There's no dog insight.
- 13:58There's still that kind of ominous music.
- 14:00But then finally, Sherman pops back up, stick in his mouth.
- 14:02All's well. Meanwhile, Beth and Gordon are
- 14:05playing beer pong on this really cool inflatable table.
- 14:07Like, it's a beer pong table that blows up.
- 14:09It's really kind of cool. And they're in the pool.
- 14:11Yeah. So Gordon's trying hard to work
- 14:13his charm and. And.
- 14:15I, I need to add that, you know, Beth had just gotten a tattoo,
- 14:19right? They tell you not to, not to
- 14:22submerge the tattoo underwater for any length of time because
- 14:27it'll get ruined. But she doesn't it.
- 14:29She just does it. Yeah, she's a rule breaker.
- 14:31She is. Yeah, she's a bad girl rule
- 14:33breaker, so Gordon's trying to trying hard to work his charm,
- 14:39but she's not really biting. Then Blake comes starting out
- 14:41with a spray tan bottle, twisting himself down to really
- 14:45sell it. He sprays right into his swim
- 14:47trunks to make sure his junk is tan.
- 14:51Yeah, yeah, that was weird. Yeah, I don't get that.
- 14:54Yeah, that's not really how spray tans work because you
- 14:56don't want, you don't just like spray it on like that and you
- 15:00don't want it to touch your clothes and have stuff touching
- 15:03it is then you'll be all like weird.
- 15:04So I don't know what that was. And and I can only imagine that
- 15:07it's just like all like junked up, right?
- 15:10It's not like evenly sprayed down there.
- 15:12It's like all junked up. And yes, you know, I don't know.
- 15:18Yeah, it didn't make any sense. So back on the boat, we've got
- 15:21Nick, Blake and Maya in the boat, and then Malik is
- 15:25skateboarding, or I guess that's what you call it, skateboarding.
- 15:28And Nick is driving and Blake and Maya are watching from the
- 15:30back and Malik's out there and this dude's got some serious
- 15:33moves, flips, jumps. He's covering over the wake like
- 15:36a pro. Then they whip the boat around
- 15:38and right as he he swings a wide on the turn.
- 15:41There it is, You see a Finn cutting through the water.
- 15:46Oh no. Oh no, you see the Finn cutting
- 15:48through the water and I'm just like, what the heck, really.
- 15:51Again, the black guy's going to go first.
- 15:53Come on now. I know that's exactly what I
- 15:56thought too. I'm like Jesus Christ, like let
- 15:58the black people live for a while.
- 16:01Like they can be the final person sometimes.
- 16:06So Malik's still out. That's actually, this is like
- 16:09the final frontier for black people.
- 16:11It's like, it's like the last thing that they've actually
- 16:13gotten. I, I don't know, but it's the
- 16:15last thing. But it's like this is the one
- 16:17place where they just have not had the option of being, well, I
- 16:23don't know how to say it. Well the only show that I've
- 16:25ever seen where the the original survivors were pretty much all
- 16:32the black people were Z Nation. Right.
- 16:34Yeah, Yeah. Can we first?
- 16:35Episode like the first? Yeah, like the first episode,
- 16:40like there's a group of people and all the white people die
- 16:42first. I'm like, it's about fucking
- 16:45time. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm
- 16:49white, but I mean, God damn. Like whenever I watch a movie,
- 16:52like the white guys are always the ones that are surviving, but
- 16:54yet they're the ones like, oh, let's stay, yeah, you know, the
- 16:58black people. Like, Nah, man, let's go.
- 17:00Let's. Get the fuck out of here.
- 17:04So Malik's, even though, you know, Malik doesn't know yet,
- 17:07there's a shark there in the water.
- 17:09Nobody does. So Malik's, you know, still out
- 17:11there showing off. But every so often we get that
- 17:13ominous underwater shot. And with each one, the sharks
- 17:15getting closer and closer. And then something bumps his
- 17:19board. He can feel it.
- 17:21He looks back and he's like, what the hell?
- 17:23And there's another bump, and he's a little rattled now, and
- 17:25he starts shouting for them to speed up.
- 17:27And of course, Maya and Blake, they're watching from the boat
- 17:30and have no clue what's going on.
- 17:31They're just like, yeah, go faster, Woo, he's killing it.
- 17:35So they're totally oblivious to what's going on.
- 17:37Then there's another hit to his board.
- 17:39And then Malik goes down South. Maya and Blake are like, oh,
- 17:43shit, he fell. But they're kind of laughing
- 17:45about it because they're like, oh, he didn't.
- 17:46He fell, fell, whatever. Nick eases back on the throttle
- 17:49and Blake's yelling, slow down, slow down.
- 17:50He's in the water and he starts pulling in Malik's toe rope as
- 17:54they circle back scanning the lake and they're shouting Malik,
- 17:57Malik, come on, man, stop playing around.
- 17:58Malik, where are you? Because they don't see him, and
- 18:00he's not. He's not anywhere in there where
- 18:02he should be. So then panic starts to creep in
- 18:04a little. Then Maya finally spots him.
- 18:06Oh, there he is. And sure enough, Malik's
- 18:07swimming really hard straight toward the shore by the house.
- 18:10And he seemingly looks fine. Yeah, he's swimming pretty good.
- 18:13From this angle. Right.
- 18:15Yeah. So then we cut to the shore,
- 18:17where Sarah stretched out sunbathing.
- 18:19She hears Malik groaning and dragging himself out of the
- 18:22water. And at first, when the cameras
- 18:24on on him, it's only showing his face and he's calling out for
- 18:28Sarah. Then it pulls back and and you
- 18:30see it, his entire right arm is gone.
- 18:33So then of course, Sarah, we see her face and she's in pure
- 18:35shock. Like, Oh my God.
- 18:36She immediately screams for Beth and Gordon to help the others
- 18:39jump off the boat and run down to the dock.
- 18:41Somebody yells to Gordon to call 911, but Sarah cuts in.
- 18:44You're not going to get anything out of here.
- 18:45There's no signal. And sure enough, there was no
- 18:48signal. Nick asks if she has a first aid
- 18:50kit, so Sarah runs in the house to grab that while Blake and
- 18:53Maya turn on Nick, furious, they're convinced he ran over
- 18:56Malik's arm with the boat. Meanwhile, Nick pulls out
- 18:58bandages from she comes back with the kit.
- 19:01He pulls out bandages, gets Gordon to go find a big stick,
- 19:04and rigs up a tourniquet. He puts Blake on pressure duty
- 19:08and tells Maya to keep Malik's head up.
- 19:10Then Nick asks Gordon for his phone, not to call anybody but
- 19:13because he needs to know the time, and then he suddenly takes
- 19:16off, diving into the lake. I don't know why I find that
- 19:19funny. Yeah, I need the phone so I can
- 19:20see what time it is. I don't.
- 19:22I don't see why that matters at this time.
- 19:24But you know, I mean, you're supposed to be patching up your
- 19:28friend's arm, not checking the time.
- 19:30It doesn't matter what time it is.
- 19:32Just fucking patch them up. He he needed to know the time,
- 19:36'cause he's going to get the arm, 'cause he needs to know how
- 19:39much time he has before the arm's no longer viable to be
- 19:43reconnected. So.
- 19:44That would make sense. I forgot that he's the medical
- 19:47guy. Yeah, yeah.
- 19:48So he takes off, dives into the lake 'cause he's going after
- 19:51Malik's arm, hoping he can recover it fast enough, maybe
- 19:54doctors can reattach it. So Nick's underwater searching,
- 19:57and Sarah runs out on the dock as well and anxiously watching.
- 20:00Incredibly, he does find the arm, but he also finds the
- 20:04shark. And the shark finds him.
- 20:06Sarah spots it, too, and she's screaming.
- 20:08Nick, hurry, hurry. So he's swimming back to the
- 20:11dock, and, you know, the the shark's closing in.
- 20:13He scrambles up just in time, barely escaping.
- 20:16But the funny part is he doesn't have his arm.
- 20:19Did you notice that the arm wasn't in his hand?
- 20:21Yeah. So I don't know if he shocked
- 20:23the arm like real far, So hoping it would get to shore on the
- 20:26dock, but he gets up there without the arm.
- 20:29It's very possible. I mean, if Sarah had a good arm
- 20:31with that stick, that's true. But I think that if he had
- 20:34tossed it, the dog would have, The dog would have taken off
- 20:37with the arm. That's true.
- 20:40But somehow later, the the arm does magically reappear.
- 20:44But we just know how. So once everybody's kind of
- 20:47caught their breath, they break the news.
- 20:48There's a shark in the lake. So now they're all like, what a
- 20:52shark? It's a lake.
- 20:53Gordon very matter of fact says it's a saltwater lake.
- 20:56And then one other one says, what does that even mean?
- 20:58And Gordon's like, well, it's not impossible.
- 21:00So that sucks. And at this point, when I was
- 21:03watching the movie, I was like, OK, so everyone knows there's a
- 21:06shark in the lake. So how in the world does anyone
- 21:08else die from the shark? Because you would think if you
- 21:11know there's a shark in the lake, you're not going to go
- 21:12back in the lake, right? This is.
- 21:14True. Yeah, so I was like, OK, how's
- 21:16the hell? But as we said, as we said,
- 21:18everybody else but Malik is white.
- 21:21And so they're the ones that stick around.
- 21:23They're the ones that, you know, stay in the haunted house that's
- 21:26killing everybody. You know it's going to be.
- 21:28Fine, you know, so why? Why not work it the same way?
- 21:32You know, it's, it's a shark of lakes, I mean a lake of sharks.
- 21:36And, you know, the white people want to stay swimming in it.
- 21:41Right, so Sarah asks Nick if there's any chance to save the
- 21:45arm. Nick says they've got about two
- 21:47hours if they can find an orthopedic surgeon in the middle
- 21:50of the Bayou. Problem is, the nearest hospital
- 21:52is also two hours away, so things aren't looking too good.
- 21:56The arm. They decide that they're going
- 21:57to try and take Malik and his arm in a cooler back to the
- 22:03Marina where they were with the bait shop and all that, and try
- 22:06to get him somewhere as fast as they can.
- 22:09And everybody's piling into the boat.
- 22:11Nick's, you know, like, oh, we need people to get off because
- 22:14we need the boat to move as fast as possible.
- 22:16So it's like everybody needs to get off the boat.
- 22:18I, I don't know how much she thought everybody weighed, but
- 22:20I'm sure it wasn't enough to weigh down this boat, but
- 22:23whatever. Of course, Maya, who is the
- 22:26girlfriend, refuses to leave, which is understandable.
- 22:28But the guys get off and they helps and they push the boat
- 22:31off. So Maya's sitting in the very
- 22:33back of the boat with Malik, and Nick is up front with Sarah,
- 22:37who's driving the boat. And Malik's blood, of course, is
- 22:40dripping off the back end of the boat, which is just chumming the
- 22:43water basically. Then of course, as they're going
- 22:45along, we see some views from underwater.
- 22:47Those, you know, scary, ominous views of somebody in the water.
- 22:50And I must say that all the views under the water, really,
- 22:54it really looked like to me that they were stock footage from
- 22:57like the 70s. Yeah, it was a very murky green
- 23:02and weird that it didn't have like a very, I don't know, It
- 23:06did have a weird look to it. It was shot weird, you know, cuz
- 23:09like I said, it looked more like stock footage than it was like
- 23:11original footage. Yeah, like they did it
- 23:14themselves there. But I think you did make a good
- 23:17point. I think they were trying to make
- 23:18it look murkier than what it was, but it didn't really come
- 23:22across very. Well, right, so we get these
- 23:24underwater views and then the shark, which I guess the shark's
- 23:27just really fast and the shark comes up and bumps the boat and
- 23:31Maya notices and she says Nick and then it bumps it again.
- 23:36And Maya, because when she yelled, when she yelled Nick
- 23:39because of the first bump, she stood up like OK, and then it
- 23:43bumps it again and then Maya gets knocked off the boat.
- 23:46So she's yelling help, help, help.
- 23:48So Nick runs the back of the boat.
- 23:49He grabs one of the, you know, round lifesaver rafty things and
- 23:54he throws it out to her. Now, this part is ridiculous,
- 23:58like the whole thing because Nick throws this out to her and
- 24:02she grabs on to it and he, you know, yells to Sarah to go and
- 24:06to go real fast, which is going to be incredibly painful because
- 24:10if anyone, I don't know if you've ever done anything like
- 24:13this before, but I've done it a bunch because we live near a
- 24:16lake for a long time. And even on a regular raft that
- 24:20is a big, you know, inflatable raft that has a bottom you can
- 24:23sit on when you're going really fast, that water is like pins
- 24:27like. Oh yeah, it hurts.
- 24:30Real hard and fast. And then she's also hitting
- 24:32wakes and jumping up in the air and slamming back down, and
- 24:36she's just holding on. It's like her arms are the only
- 24:38thing that are on it. The rest of her in her head's
- 24:40just at the edge. The rest of her body's just out
- 24:43in the water. And then like, that in itself
- 24:46sucks, but we're also supposed to believe that Nick is able to
- 24:48just hold on to this rope with his bare hands because that's
- 24:52what he was doing. He's just holding on to.
- 24:53It. So she's bouncing all around,
- 24:57slamming up and down. There's no way this could happen
- 24:59in real life. And I also thought it was funny
- 25:01that we, we sometimes get these underwater visuals of her legs
- 25:05and she's kicking her legs back and forth like she's swimming.
- 25:09And I'm like, first of all, there's no way, There's no way
- 25:11she's going to do that at that speed.
- 25:12But it's hilarious because it's like, does she think that's
- 25:15going to help her go faster? The speedboat that's pulling it?
- 25:18Up and and this shark, you know, is moving very fast and keeping
- 25:22up. Yeah, like that shark should
- 25:26have as fast as that boat was going initially, and the shark
- 25:28caught up and hit the boat, it should have been there already.
- 25:31Like it. It should have just been there.
- 25:33It should have been behind her. But ultimately it does catch up
- 25:36and it gets Maya. Then, well, he smokes.
- 25:38I can't believe it. For whatever reason, the
- 25:40steering's gone and the throttle's jammed and they're
- 25:43headed straight for the dock. And at first I thought, I
- 25:46thought, oh, whose dock is this? But it's her own dock.
- 25:49I'm like, what is she doing back at her own dock?
- 25:52Like they just turn like I I missed when they turned around.
- 25:54They're heading for her dock, which has a regular old timey
- 25:57gas pump, but for boats. And that's on the dock.
- 26:00So of course they're headed for this dock at full speed because
- 26:05they can't do anything about it because everything's suddenly
- 26:07broken. And Nick is like, OK, we're
- 26:09going to have to jump ship. You grab the cooler, I'll grab
- 26:11Malik, which good luck because he's basically dead weight.
- 26:16I don't know how he's planning on swimming back to shore with
- 26:18him and and and and beating this super fast shark and without.
- 26:22Him losing more blood. Right.
- 26:24So they jump off and just about as soon as they do, the boat
- 26:28hits the dock and everything blows up and explodes.
- 26:31Everyone who's on the beach waiting for them back at the
- 26:35house, they're like, Oh my God. And they're screaming and
- 26:38yelling. The next scene you see them
- 26:39carrying Malik back into the house.
- 26:41They put him on a bed. Beth is losing her shit.
- 26:43She and Maya obviously were really good friends.
- 26:45Like, Oh my God, Maya's dead. Maya's dead.
- 26:47She's completely breaking down. Gordon decides to run out to a
- 26:50shed or someplace outside and finds a flare, which he sets
- 26:53off. The flare goes off, and then we
- 26:55cut to the sheriff sitting in his truck facing the lake.
- 26:58But he's rocking out to some music, not paying any attention
- 27:02to anything, much less the flare, so he doesn't see it.
- 27:05So then Sarah goes back into the bedroom where Nick is, who's
- 27:08still with Malik and, you know, just looking after him.
- 27:11And when she walks in, she's still wearing her bikini, but
- 27:14now she's throwing a little light cardigan over it.
- 27:17And I thought, well, that's weird because everyone else has
- 27:20changed into regular clothes. But she has apparently decided
- 27:23that in all this chaos, she's going to keep rocking her
- 27:25bikini. It's like.
- 27:27I was going to say, you got to be sexy.
- 27:29You got to be you. Got it.
- 27:31Flaunt it. Right.
- 27:34So while they're in there, they, you know, they have some little
- 27:36conversation, but there's a gunshot outside.
- 27:39So that everybody rushes outside and they see Blake shooting into
- 27:42the air, trying to get the attention of a boat he's spotted
- 27:44on the lake. So he runs down the dock.
- 27:47The boat pulls up, and Blake, Gordon and Nick all run out to
- 27:50meet it. Of course, it ends up being the
- 27:52two guys from the bait shop, Dennis and Red.
- 27:54Red immediately starts being his obnoxious self.
- 27:57And when Nick says we need your help, something bad's happened,
- 28:00he actually jokes about it and says, oh, did someone get hurt
- 28:03playing spin the bottle? Actually, I think Dennis said
- 28:05that, yeah. Then Red takes it further and
- 28:09says he hopes it wasn't his little mamacita before making
- 28:12some gross comment about cleaning up the boat or
- 28:14whatever. Like she he needs to her to
- 28:16clean up the boat. So then that's when they break
- 28:18the news to them that she's dead and they explain about the
- 28:22sharks and everything. They don't really get into it
- 28:24that you just know that they're obviously explaining to them
- 28:26about the sharks and stuff. So the next scene cuts back to
- 28:28the house and Red comes out of the bedroom where Malik is laid
- 28:31up. He says damn, your boy got
- 28:33jacked. And he insists they need to get
- 28:35Malik to the ER in Monchek. But Dennis argues that they
- 28:39should take him to Saint Francis because Monchek is a dump.
- 28:41Nick says no, they can't move him, he's lost too much blood.
- 28:44They need to stabilize him and wait for help to come, which
- 28:48they're going to operate right there at the lake house.
- 28:50I don't know. So sure, it's very sanitary.
- 28:54Apparently it's better than that hospital that they were talking
- 28:57about. Must be I'd never want to go to
- 28:59Man Check hospital. So Dennis suggests heading to
- 29:02the Marina to call for a medevac.
- 29:03He thinks one could be there within the hour and then he asks
- 29:07who's coming and Beth jumps the chance.
- 29:09She's been anxious to leave from basically the time this all
- 29:11started, and she's not sticking around any longer.
- 29:14Blake tries to stop her, but she insists.
- 29:16So then Gordon offers to go with her because.
- 29:19And Nick is worried, especially after what happened to their own
- 29:21boat. He's like, you saw what happened
- 29:23to Gordon. He's like, you saw what happened
- 29:24to our boat. They ended up fucking our shit
- 29:26up. But Gordon's like, I can't let
- 29:27her go on there by herself. But these guys, these guys are
- 29:30weird. Which is understandable.
- 29:32Exactly. Red reassures them that they
- 29:35don't have to worry about any sharks coming near their boat
- 29:38because they've got this device and it's a speaker that sends
- 29:41out a signal that keeps anything in the water 100 yards away.
- 29:44Plus they got some kind of electric prod looking weapon
- 29:47that shoots out of I don't know what, a shout out of an
- 29:50explosive It looked like. I was like, damn.
- 29:53Yeah. So then we go back inside and
- 29:56Blake is sitting with Malik, who's weak but still holding on
- 30:00to the ring that he was planning to give Maya.
- 30:02He tells Blake if I don't make it I just need to know would she
- 30:05still marry half a man? Blake tries to keep him calm so
- 30:09they just need to focus on getting him better.
- 30:11Then Malik asks where Maya is. Blake can't really bring himself
- 30:15to say it at first but eventually Malik realizes
- 30:18because Blake's Blake's not answering.
- 30:20So Malik obviously realizes something's wrong.
- 30:23Then Blake's like I'm sorry man. He realizes she's gone and he's
- 30:26all screaming and devastated. His face says it all, basically.
- 30:29Basically, we cut to Nick and Sarah and they're sitting
- 30:31outside. Nick's having this moment of
- 30:33survivor's guilt. He can't stop seeing Maya's face
- 30:36and he says he shouldn't have let her on the boat.
- 30:38Sarah tells him that he never would have been able to stop
- 30:41her, and she pushes him not to keep going down that road
- 30:43because he's not going to win. So then Nick, Nick asks her why
- 30:46she hasn't been back in three years and she finally explains
- 30:50this story. I literally have it in my notes.
- 30:52I was like, I need to make sure I ask Dan if he understands the
- 30:55story. So 'cause it's, it doesn't make
- 30:58any sense. This story, it's like the
- 31:00writers are like, I don't know what else to say.
- 31:03Let's just do this. It doesn't make any sense.
- 31:06We'll, we'll, we'll figure it out later.
- 31:08Maybe no one will notice. So she explains that she and
- 31:14Dennis dated for a couple of years.
- 31:16He was a diving instructor there and but when she was ready to go
- 31:19off to college, she realized that he was never going to leave
- 31:22the water. So she broke it off a few days
- 31:25before she was supposed to leave.
- 31:27He took her to their favorite diving spot to say goodbye.
- 31:30And here's where the story gets really weird.
- 31:32So she says they were only underwater for a couple of
- 31:35minutes when all of a sudden she couldn't breathe.
- 31:37She gave him the signal, which is she puts her hand at her neck
- 31:41and like she's cutting, cutting it off.
- 31:43She says she gave him the signal that she had no air.
- 31:47She figured that maybe her air gauge was broken.
- 31:49When he when she first told him she had no air, he just stared
- 31:52at her. And so then when she reached out
- 31:54to share his air, he just drifted away.
- 31:57And I don't even know what that means.
- 31:59Was he unconscious? Are we supposed to think?
- 32:01At first I thought, well maybe he did something to her tank to
- 32:05make her drown like he was trying to kill her.
- 32:08Yeah, like if if you're going to leave then.
- 32:11Really. Leave.
- 32:12No one can have you. Right.
- 32:14So which would I could get that story?
- 32:17I can understand that, but they never addressed it like it's
- 32:20that, but basically he just floated away like he was dead.
- 32:25It was so weird. It didn't make any sense.
- 32:27So then. Maybe he was pretending he was
- 32:29dead to pull the sharks off. Well, well, there were no sharks
- 32:33at this time, so. Or maybe maybe he was pretending
- 32:36that he was dead and he was out of air.
- 32:38So she thought, oh, they're both out of air, so it's not
- 32:41suspicious. I don't know.
- 32:42I don't know. It didn't make any sense.
- 32:44Like a Romeo and Juliet thing. Right.
- 32:46So she says she somehow made it to the surface.
- 32:49I don't know why that somehow, because all she had to do was
- 32:52swim up and then I was keeping her down there.
- 32:54She climbed onto their skiff and was about.
- 32:56I was going to say the man. The man kept her down.
- 32:59Oh man, so she climbed onto their skiff and was about to
- 33:09just leave him there, which I was like, what?
- 33:12You're just going to leave him floating in the water?
- 33:15Then she spins the boat around and accidentally cuts his face
- 33:20open with the propeller. So then after that, she's like,
- 33:24oh, now I've got to get him. So she gets him and then takes
- 33:27her to the hospital, takes her to the hospital, then never goes
- 33:29back. That's the last she saw of him
- 33:31and that's it. I don't get this story at all.
- 33:33She was so concerned about him. She wasn't.
- 33:35No she wasn't. Wasn't concerned at all about
- 33:37him floating away to take him to the hospital.
- 33:40But when she slices his face open then she has to take him to
- 33:43the hospital. Like either way he seemed dead.
- 33:45Like what the fuck right? This story made no sense at all.
- 33:54So you can almost understand his motive a little bit later on.
- 33:57You know, because she left him for dead like twice.
- 34:00Right. Well she left him for dead once
- 34:02she did take but I don't understand like why would it
- 34:04not? Why would you not think to grab
- 34:06him when he was just floating away?
- 34:08Like, it doesn't make any sense. This story was like, again, the
- 34:14writers must have been like, I don't really know what to do to
- 34:16make this heartbreaking and crazy.
- 34:18Like we're just going to leave it up to their imagination.
- 34:22Like, OK, I don't have an imagination in this scenario.
- 34:24They. Were they were probably just
- 34:26stoned? Yeah.
- 34:28Dude, this is going to be awesome.
- 34:34So and here's my note where I said I really need to know if
- 34:36Dan gets this story because I don't so.
- 34:38Yeah. No, it was.
- 34:39It was very lackluster. Yeah, it it was weird.
- 34:43So she wraps it up by saying that Beth was right, she never
- 34:46should have brought everyone there because earlier on when
- 34:48Beth was losing her shit, she was like, it's your fault you
- 34:51made us come here. Like, yeah, she made you come to
- 34:53a party house and on an island, whatever.
- 34:55Right now, Sarah, of course, is thinking she's right.
- 34:58Nick reassures her, saying it's not your fault and that
- 35:01everybody's going to be OK. Well, at least the ones who are
- 35:03left will be OK, I guess. Sarah just says she wishes she
- 35:06could believe that and walks back to the house.
- 35:08And wasn't she just telling Nick to not go through this whole
- 35:11guilt trip? And now she's doing it too?
- 35:13Yes. Yeah.
- 35:14Do as I say, not as I do sort of shit.
- 35:16Right, right, exactly. So then we go back to the boat
- 35:19and there's the classic my eyes are up here moment because Red
- 35:22is straight up staring at Beth's chest.
- 35:24She calls him out on it and he's like.
- 35:25Yeah, there was no subtlety on it.
- 35:28No, not at all. So she calls him out and he's
- 35:30like, I know where your eyes are, darlin.
- 35:33Then he actually takes a spotlight and shines it directly
- 35:36on her breasts and goes how big? And she's like, excuse me?
- 35:40And then he swings light over to Gordon and asks how big.
- 35:43Gordon's immediately disgusted, but then Red clarifies.
- 35:46He meant the shark. The shark that got your friend.
- 35:49How big was it? Although, you know, he meant it
- 35:51the way he was saying it, just by being, he was just being
- 35:53obnoxious about it. Yeah, right.
- 35:55It was definitely a double entendre.
- 35:57Right, exactly. So Red explains it must be a
- 36:00bull shark, because bull sharks can show up pretty much
- 36:02anywhere. He says they end up in the
- 36:04damnedest places. Gordon pushes back like, But
- 36:06this is a lake, How would a shark get in here?
- 36:09And Red's explanation is that there was a big hurricane
- 36:11season, so maybe one flooded up over the Interstate and just
- 36:14wound up in there, which I'm guessing could because bull
- 36:17sharks are known for going up rivers and shit, so.
- 36:20Yeah, I had to check that out, you know, because I started
- 36:22losing it. Like, you know, sharks are in
- 36:24the lake. Yeah.
- 36:26And like, I, I didn't think that's happened, but I sure
- 36:29enough, you know, it, it can happen.
- 36:32And some sharks can actually adjust to lake water.
- 36:35Yeah, the bull sharks are it's way.
- 36:37Back in the day, there was a big to do in Jersey with a bunch of
- 36:42bull sharks going up into the rivers and it was actually kind
- 36:46of I think from I could be just pulling shit right out of my
- 36:49ass, my untattooed ass that it was that it was part of the
- 36:58inspiration for Jaws to some extent, just the New Jersey town
- 37:03and all this other shit that they were going up in the
- 37:05rivers. But even though that shark
- 37:07wasn't a bull shark and I don't know.
- 37:08So then we cut to Malik, who's out on the beach with a fire
- 37:11blazing on. There's a big bonfire on the
- 37:13beach and he's wearing a sweatshirt and shorts, which I
- 37:16thought, why have a sweatshirt on, dude?
- 37:18I mean, you're going to get so dragged down in this water.
- 37:21But I guess it's probably the easiest, the easiest way to
- 37:23cover up that he his his real arm is still actually attached
- 37:26to his body. And because you know, in the
- 37:29movie his arm is gone, but in his real life I hope he saw has
- 37:32an arm right. Well, I mean, some actors really
- 37:35get into their role. It could be totally method.
- 37:41I want to commit to this part remove my arm.
- 37:44Really jagged way like make it so that it really sucks to get
- 37:47it back on I really want. To see.
- 37:53It for this stupid movie. Don't even sew it up, just throw
- 38:00me in the water. So he's out there and he's
- 38:04holding a spear, like I guess he's going for Aquaman.
- 38:07And then Nick asks. When I was I, I had some trouble
- 38:11with that one, you know, because why did they give the black guy
- 38:13the spear? I know, I thought the same thing
- 38:16too. I was like, interesting,
- 38:19interesting choice of prop, right?
- 38:24Oh, I do want to say, because I I was going to say it earlier,
- 38:27but the black guy was not the first one to go.
- 38:31He was close, but not the first one to go.
- 38:32So of course they substituted right with the Hispanic girl,
- 38:36right? Yeah, I mean, yeah, it can't be
- 38:38the white guy first. No.
- 38:40That wouldn't. That just wouldn't make sense.
- 38:42Nope, this. Nick asks what he's doing, and
- 38:45Malik says he's going to take if it took one of theirs, he's
- 38:49gonna take one of theirs or something like that.
- 38:52So since he took one of his, he's gonna take one of theirs.
- 38:54Yeah. So basically he's planning to
- 38:56lure the shark in and kill it. See, with him, you know, with
- 38:59that line, we can attribute that to a significant loss of blood,
- 39:03right? Yeah.
- 39:04So it may have sounded stupid, but you know he has the right to
- 39:08sound that way since he's only got 1 arm and.
- 39:10He. Profusely.
- 39:12Well, he's blaming it on Baltimore, the four O 1, I
- 39:14guess, because in the streets of Baltimore, if you take one of
- 39:18ours, we take one of yours kind of thing.
- 39:20That's right. He's going to do, you know, he's
- 39:23doing some street fighting with the shark here, I guess.
- 39:26I suppose that works well if you have St.
- 39:29Sharks, yeah. So, so he starts, he starts
- 39:40heading into the water like a man on a mission.
- 39:42He's ready. He's he's, you know, beating his
- 39:45chest and yelling, come here, come here.
- 39:47I guess sharks here, human voices and know what they mean.
- 39:50So back on the boat, Dennis suddenly cuts off the engine.
- 39:53Gordon's like, what are you doing?
- 39:55What's wrong with the boat? What's wrong with the engine?
- 39:57Dennis calmly says, nothing's wrong with it.
- 39:59Gordon keeps pushing, saying they need to get to the medevac
- 40:01or they need to get the medevac out to the house to save Malik.
- 40:05But Red just pulls out the little humming box thing that he
- 40:08had in the water to keep everything away.
- 40:10And he sits it down and he looks at Dennis and says, we've got 5
- 40:12minutes. That's like 5 minutes till what?
- 40:15And Red goes 5 minutes till the action starts.
- 40:17OK. Meanwhile, back with Malik, he's
- 40:20walking further into the water, chumming with his bloody nub,
- 40:22literally using it as beige while shouting while shouting.
- 40:28Come on. And then we get the underwater
- 40:30shots, and suddenly it's a hammerhead shark.
- 40:32And I was like, what? Wait, I don't think it was a
- 40:35hammerhead. Yeah, right.
- 40:38I was like that wasn't a hammerhead that got the first
- 40:40time and because I was like, there's no way this is the same
- 40:42shark and or this just. Yeah, it it got confusing
- 40:45because they didn't really explain that part at all.
- 40:47Yeah, not, not at the beginning, No, not at this.
- 40:49Point there's a hammerhead. Yeah, and I was like, prop guy
- 40:52really fucked up. Like what the fuck?
- 40:54You got the wrong shark dude. I was like.
- 40:57That would be a real bad fuck up too.
- 41:00There's a little continuity error here.
- 41:01We'll just leave it whatever, no one's going to notice.
- 41:04So and then also hammerheads don't exactly have the biggest
- 41:08fights. Like I don't know how well, I
- 41:11mean not, I mean, again, not a sharkyologist, but I just don't
- 41:15feel like they have a big enough mouth.
- 41:16Well, plus they have that hammer thing in the front that's really
- 41:20awkward when you're trying to get in there and bite somebody.
- 41:22I I just don't think it'd be a big old.
- 41:24And not only is that not only that, but hammerhead sharks
- 41:28don't really attack humans. It's rare that they do.
- 41:31Yeah, it's probably because they know they would have a hard.
- 41:33So it doesn't happen, right? Yeah, they're not dumb.
- 41:35They're not going to waste their time.
- 41:36Right. You know there's a lot of energy
- 41:38to be had and you know they need to save it and so they're not
- 41:40going to go after the heart stuff.
- 41:42No. So anyway, it was weird, but it
- 41:45was it worked because even though it did go, you know, full
- 41:50on underwater brawl and attack Malik and they were fighting
- 41:54like he was punching it and all this stuff, it did probably make
- 41:57it easier to fight the shark because he didn't really have to
- 42:01worry too much about getting majorly bitten.
- 42:03It's not like it's a big old great white or something or bull
- 42:05shark. So they're fighting away.
- 42:08Nick runs in to help tag team style, I guess.
- 42:10And then finally a Malik actually does end up Spearing it
- 42:13and killing it. Back on the boat, Red sets up a
- 42:16laptop and Gordon cracks a joke. Like, you know, if you want to
- 42:19stay connected, I'm Gordon 79 or something like that.
- 42:22Then Dennis and points at him stand up I need your I need your
- 42:25help. I was surprised it was 79 just
- 42:28saying. Dennis looks at Gordon and says
- 42:30stand up I need your help and Gordon's like OK what do you
- 42:32want me to do? And Dennis just says flat out I
- 42:35want you to get in the water. Of course Gordon refuses.
- 42:38I'm not getting in the water are you crazy?
- 42:39So Dennis pulls out a gun. Beth jumps up but Red grabs her
- 42:42and holds her back. Gordon tries to protest.
- 42:45I can't get in the water. There's A and Dennis finishes it
- 42:48for him and says a shark. Yeah, I know.
- 42:50And then Red casually drops the bomb.
- 42:52Who do you think put them in there?
- 42:54And that's when it all comes together.
- 42:56These guys have been stockpiling the lake with sharks on purpose.
- 43:00So then Gordon begs one last time.
- 43:03I know. It's crazy.
- 43:05Why are they doing this? So Gordon begs one last time,
- 43:08Dennis, please don't make me. But Dennis shoots him, I think,
- 43:11like, in the shoulder. And Gordon tumbles off the boat.
- 43:14He starts swimming and he he looks like he's swimming against
- 43:17the current. That's how it looked.
- 43:19And of course he's doing it with one arm.
- 43:21And then we see it, the fin cutting through the water and
- 43:23the underwater shots that the shark is turning straight
- 43:26towards him. So of course Gordon's like, oh,
- 43:29shit. And he's pushing harder.
- 43:31He finally reaches these really cool set of trees that are
- 43:34mostly submerged in the water, like halfway submerged.
- 43:38And so he hauls himself up there and he hangs on to a branch, but
- 43:42it's still kind of low, but enough where he's out of the
- 43:45water and thinks he's safe. And for a second you think he
- 43:48might actually be safe. And then BAM, the shark launches
- 43:51right out of the water, grabs him and drags him under.
- 43:54And that was a really cheesy, cheesy shark, too.
- 43:57Yeah, as I recall. Yeah, I wasn't diabetic, because
- 44:01I do love the guy that played that role.
- 44:03But, you know, they all got to die at some point.
- 44:06So back at the lake house, Malik and Nick finally make it onto
- 44:11shore, where Sarah and Blake are waiting.
- 44:12Malik, bleeding out, of course, still has the energy to brag.
- 44:16Told you I'd kill it. And sure enough, they've dragged
- 44:18A hammerhead shark up onto the beach.
- 44:20But Nick shakes his head. And he's like the shark I saw
- 44:22wasn't a hammerhead. And Sarah's like, wait, what?
- 44:25And he double s down and says it wasn't a hammerhead swam right
- 44:28by me, it was something else. A hammerhead is very
- 44:31distinctive. You're you're going to know if
- 44:33you see a. Hammerhead.
- 44:33Oh, absolutely. Yeah, so he has no idea how
- 44:36these sharks are even getting into the lake.
- 44:37Sarah throws out the theory that maybe hurricane season wash them
- 44:40in just like the other guys said Red.
- 44:43But while she's explaining, Nick notices something strange on the
- 44:46Hammerhead. He walks over, pulls on it
- 44:49really hard, Yanks it loose. It's a full on camera and it's
- 44:52not like it's a GoPro or a tiny little pin camera.
- 44:56This, this shit needs to be bolted.
- 44:59Fucking on the shark, basically. The thing was huge.
- 45:02It was a full on fucking camera. It's like, what?
- 45:05How are they doing that? Like almost 80s like huge ass
- 45:10camera. Yeah, it's like a camcorder
- 45:13you'd have to hold in your hand. I mean, it's and it had this big
- 45:16old thing. I'm like, how did they fucking
- 45:18put this thing on this shark? Like, this is ridiculous.
- 45:21Oh, don't worry about it, no one's going to notice.
- 45:23Be sure that I'm pretty sure that was the theme in the
- 45:28writing room. Nobody's going to notice, Yes.
- 45:30While they're all processing that insanity, Malik starts
- 45:34groaning and twitching, clearly not doing well.
- 45:36Blake decides I'm taking him across the lake on the jet ski
- 45:40and Sarah's like, wait, wait, wait, but no, no, no, you can't
- 45:42do that. But Blake insists.
- 45:44Look at him, we don't have time now.
- 45:46I don't know why this kid thought this jet ski when that
- 45:49speed boat couldn't out run a shark that obviously goes 5000
- 45:53mph, how he's going to run on a jet ski.
- 45:56So then we cut back to the boat. There's a lot of back and forth
- 45:58here. So then we come back to the
- 46:00boat. Beth snaps at the two guys.
- 46:03Who are you freaks? Dennis doesn't answer, he just
- 46:05tells her to strip down to her bra and panties.
- 46:07She refuses until he pulls the gun again and Red grabs her to
- 46:11force the issue. Now earlier while they were
- 46:14sitting on the boat while Gordon was still alive, there was a
- 46:16knife near them so she grabbed that and hid it in her pants and
- 46:19her back the back of her pants or whatever.
- 46:22So Red's got her and he's behind her and has his arm around her
- 46:26neck. She does decide to give in and
- 46:28take off her clothes, her shirt and her pants, but stuffed in
- 46:32the back of her underwear is where the knife is.
- 46:34So now Reds being all weird and gross and he's taunting her so
- 46:38she whips out the knife and stabs him in the shoulder.
- 46:41Rude. Yeah, how rude.
- 46:44And that makes Red furious. And here's where we find
- 46:46something even weirder is because I said earlier he has
- 46:50razor sharp teeth and you can really see them here.
- 46:52He has razored razor sharp teeth.
- 46:55He obviously had filed into almost like bangs, either the
- 46:59front teeth and maybe even the side ones, but the front teeth
- 47:02were obvious. Snarling at her like he's about
- 47:05to bite her neck, Dennis stops him, tells him to chill, and
- 47:07then decides to play a twisted little game instead.
- 47:10They make Beth take a shark quiz.
- 47:13Dennis asks her how many species of shark there are.
- 47:16She has no clue, but Red smugly throws out 350.
- 47:19Then Dennis launches into this whole monologue about how he's
- 47:22been diving with sharks for years.
- 47:24He's seen 45 or 46 species and starts rattling them off like
- 47:28he's Bubba from Frisk Gump. Yeah, these tiger sharks, great
- 47:35white sharks, whale sharks. So then meanwhile back at the
- 47:43house, Blakes plan is honestly stupid.
- 47:46You're sitting on the wave runner, Blake is facing forward
- 47:49because he's driving and then Malik is back to him.
- 47:53So they're back-to-back and then they tie something around Malik
- 47:57and Blake. So they're tied together.
- 48:00So if Malik falls off, Blake's going with him.
- 48:03This is just seems like a not a genius plan, but I guess it's
- 48:06because Malik has. I mean, I'm assuming because
- 48:08Malik doesn't have any strength and probably hold on, but he
- 48:10could have turned around and faced Blake and put one arm
- 48:14around him, maybe a leg or two and held on that way.
- 48:18But this seemed really dumb. So then we go back to the boat.
- 48:21So back in the boat, so they have this little netted square
- 48:25thing. It's like it's in the water and
- 48:27there's a bunch of cookie cookie cutter sharks in it, which are
- 48:31these little tiny sharks. They aren't very big.
- 48:34And anyway, they end up throwing Beth into it and Red has a
- 48:38camera on a long pole. So he's got it so that he they
- 48:42can record underwater what's going on with Beth.
- 48:46We got that videotaping them as they attack her.
- 48:48She is able to fight them for a little while.
- 48:51She's like pulling them off and here and there.
- 48:53But eventually they overtake her and she probably runs out of air
- 48:56as well. And probably she probably
- 48:58drowned before they actually killed her.
- 48:59So at this point, this is when I thought, OK, so the Sharks have
- 49:04an only fans page. That must be what's going on
- 49:06here. Everybody's doing it.
- 49:13Everybody, everybody's got it going on.
- 49:15So they're just taking, you know, they're being very, really
- 49:18nice humans. They're helping out the Sharks
- 49:21with their Only Fans page and they're recording things for
- 49:24them. And that's why all the sharks
- 49:26have the big cameras on them and all that stuff.
- 49:28That's how that's how they did it.
- 49:30That's how they did it. I'm an idiot.
- 49:32The sharks were like, yeah, can you help us out?
- 49:34I'm just going to turn over and you attach this camera to me.
- 49:38Now we can be great friends. OK, I'll give you 10%.
- 49:45You guys be my manager. OK?
- 49:48You see Nick and Sarah walking quickly down the dock because
- 49:50the sheriff has shown up. And he's like, hey, kiddos,
- 49:53how's it going? And Sarah's like, has the
- 49:55medevac shown up? Are they coming to get Malik?
- 49:58And she's asking all these questions.
- 49:59And he's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, what's going on?
- 50:01Slow down, honey Bunny. And he says, I don't know what
- 50:04you're talking about. And Nick said nobody sent you.
- 50:06And he's like, I saw the bonfire and I thought party.
- 50:10So OK, so. And of course, when he looks
- 50:13over at the fire when he says this, he sees the hammerhead
- 50:17shark and he's like, what the hell is that?
- 50:19So then we get a quick shot of Blake and Malik now as they're
- 50:22riding the jet ski through the water.
- 50:24Then we go back to the house and the sheriff's walking back into
- 50:27the house from because he was outside on his walkie-talkie.
- 50:30Nick and Sarah are sitting there at the table.
- 50:32He's talking to somebody about making sure that, you know, the
- 50:35medevacs ready, plus they, you know, everybody's out on the
- 50:38lake looking for them on this, on the jet ski and all that
- 50:41stuff. And they're going to Saint
- 50:42Francis and yadda yadda. So he's got people out looking
- 50:45for them on the jet ski. So Nick and Sarah have now stood
- 50:49up from the table and and walk over over there with the sheriff
- 50:53and Nick suddenly passes out and when he does this he knocks over
- 50:57this thermos the sheriff had with him and that thermos falls
- 51:00on the floor and spills. The sheriff and Sarah moved Nick
- 51:04to the couch. Then the dog comes into the
- 51:06kitchen and starts looking up what's spilled out of the
- 51:07thermos, which looks like maybe chicken noodle soup or
- 51:09something. I know this doesn't seem like
- 51:11it's important right now, but it's very important.
- 51:14But it will be It's foreshadowing.
- 51:16It is. So we go back to the boys on the
- 51:18jet ski, and then you see them careening through the waters and
- 51:22you see underwater shots and that are ominous and scary.
- 51:26And then Malik's looking out behind them and that's the way
- 51:28he's facing and he sees the shark coming up and he starts
- 51:31untying himself from Blake because he's decided that he's
- 51:34not going to take Blake with him and that he's just going to go
- 51:36ahead and sacrifice himself so Blake doesn't die too.
- 51:39But of course when Malik jumps off or falls off, whichever 1 he
- 51:42did, Blake notices. So he spins around to go back to
- 51:45save Malik and of course he can't be saved.
- 51:47And so then he turns back around and heads out because the
- 51:50shark's now coming for him. So then back at the house,
- 51:53they've got Nick laid out on the couch.
- 51:55Cher says he must just be exhausted from all the stress
- 51:58and tells Sarah to go grab a really cold towel.
- 52:00So she walks into the kitchen, which is just steps away and
- 52:04it's open. It's an open area.
- 52:06It's not like there's a big wall there.
- 52:08So she steps into the kitchen and she sees Sherman the dog
- 52:11just laying on the floor, not moving.
- 52:13And she's like Sherman. Meanwhile, the sheriff is busy
- 52:15making himself a drink. And that's what Sarah notices,
- 52:17the thermos on the floor that was spilled.
- 52:19She picks it up and is looking at it.
- 52:21And then right then the walkie-talkie, which is laying
- 52:23on the counter, goes off and somebody says, what's your 20s,
- 52:27sheriff? You missed a hell of a happy
- 52:28hour. Made a blood smoothie out of
- 52:30that tattoo chick. And that's when we realize and
- 52:34she realizes the sheriff's in on it.
- 52:37Well, she may not realize there's anything.
- 52:38Oh. No, but she knows.
- 52:40Yeah, she kind of knows something's going on, but now.
- 52:42But we really know what's going on.
- 52:44Sort of. So then the voice adds, why
- 52:46don't you bring Blondie out here so we can have ourselves some
- 52:49fun? And that's the moment when she
- 52:50realizes she's completely screwed.
- 52:52She walks over to the butcher block knife holder thingy, pulls
- 52:55out a big knife and, you know, has it behind her back.
- 52:58So then she starts walking over towards the sheriff again, maybe
- 53:02maybe 10 steps away from her and away from this walkie-talkie
- 53:06that you could, he should have been able to hear but didn't.
- 53:09I guess he he was really into that drink.
- 53:11So the sheriff, I guess, realized she's been gone a
- 53:13little too long, so he yells out for her.
- 53:15She says I'm coming. And as he goes back to sipping
- 53:18his drink, she gets up behind him.
- 53:20She's about to stab him with a knife and then all of a sudden
- 53:23Dennis bursts in, grabs her, and ruins her whole plan.
- 53:26You know what happens? Yeah, it's, it's the worst.
- 53:29So they're they're struggling. He has his hand over her mouth.
- 53:33She bites his hand and makes a run for it, but he shoots her
- 53:36with a dart. She staggers, tries to fight it
- 53:38off, and then she but she finally passes out.
- 53:41Let me cut back to Blake, who's still tearing up the lake on the
- 53:43jet ski. Looks like he might actually
- 53:45make it. And then boom, out of nowhere, a
- 53:48ginormous, I'm assuming great white launches straight out of
- 53:53the water and scoops him right off the jet ski.
- 53:55And that's bye, bye Blakey. Hi Blake.
- 53:58Back at the house, we see Nick and he is tied to a chair inside
- 54:04that shed thing, the boathouse, I guess the boathouse.
- 54:07And there's a big opening in the floor and underneath it you can
- 54:11see sharks swimming around. And that's when Nick realizes
- 54:15just how bad things are going to get.
- 54:17So then we go back to the boat. The dog's OK.
- 54:20It woke back up. It's on the boat now, but now
- 54:22Dennis has Sarah locked inside a big shark diving cage.
- 54:26He starts dragging her down memory lane, all pissy about it
- 54:29because she ran over his face years ago.
- 54:32Like my God, get over it. She tells him she was drowning
- 54:36and then she was out of air and he pushes back.
- 54:38Were you really out of air? If she says she was out of air,
- 54:40I guess she was out of air. So while they're going back and
- 54:43forth, so while they're going back and forth, the dog starts
- 54:47barking. Dennis complaints about it and
- 54:49Red's like he just needs a little attention, then says, can
- 54:52we keep it? And Dennis is like, no.
- 54:55So then Red casually just picks up the dog and throws it out
- 54:58into the lake. And of course, this upsets
- 55:00Sarah. And Dennis grabs her through the
- 55:02bars of the cage and holds a knife up to her face right near
- 55:05where his scar is. Like he's going to do the same
- 55:08thing to her face. Now we cut back to the sheriff
- 55:10and Nick. The sheriff explains about this
- 55:13whole Sharks Only fans page that they got going on.
- 55:20So basically Shark Week pulls in over 20 million viewers, and
- 55:23some of those viewers want to see the real thing.
- 55:25So they're out here making what are basically shark snuff films,
- 55:28right? He shows a video and the girl
- 55:31when we see the girl from the beginning again, it's the only
- 55:33time we see her. So the girl at the beginning of
- 55:36the movie, the one that got attacked with the cameras when
- 55:38her boyfriend threw her top off and she'll get it.
- 55:41She was their first upload and I guess they must have made a
- 55:45bunch of reviews, made a bunch of money.
- 55:46I don't know, I'm assuming it's a dark web thing.
- 55:49So back on the boat, Dennis asks Sarah why she left him.
- 55:52She breaks down and says she was 18, she was scared and couldn't
- 55:56even face herself, much less him.
- 55:58After, of course, she cut his face open, I guess.
- 56:01She says she came back to make it right because she really did
- 56:04love him. And then he softens.
- 56:06Of course. She's like, I really, really,
- 56:09truly did love you. I didn't do anything with anyone
- 56:12for the three years I've been away.
- 56:14You were the last guy I was ever with.
- 56:16And so he softens. Romantic.
- 56:19Yeah, it's such a sweet, sweet moment.
- 56:21And he grabs her hand through the bars and leans in close, and
- 56:24she leans in close and that's when she grabs his gun and
- 56:28points it at him. And of course instead of just
- 56:30pulling the trigger she just takes her sweet ass time.
- 56:33She tells her to unlock the cage but then never shoots him.
- 56:36These horror girls almost or horror people never make a quick
- 56:39decision except for that girl in your next.
- 56:41She was the only one that has that I've seen so.
- 56:43Far right. Yeah, absolutely.
- 56:45Yeah. She had her shit together.
- 56:46She did. She just killed who needed to be
- 56:48killed, and that was that. She didn't need to have a speech
- 56:50or try to psychoanalyze them or any shit.
- 56:53But most of them, yeah, just like Sarah, they just drag it
- 56:55out. And because she drags it out,
- 56:56Dennis easily gets his gun back. So now he's extra pissed because
- 57:00she fooled him again. He gets on the walkie-talkie and
- 57:03tells someone named Carl. Then it's almost dawn and to
- 57:06wake up the big girl. I don't even know who Carl is.
- 57:09He's never been mentioned before.
- 57:10So then for like 5 seconds we do see Carl.
- 57:14He lifts the cage door and lets out a shark.
- 57:16And that's literally it. He's just some weirdo looking
- 57:18guy. Probably related to Red because
- 57:20they look very that kind of look and but they gave him a name so
- 57:23that was nice. Which is surprising because he
- 57:25was only there for like 2 seconds.
- 57:26It was like a two second roll. So back at the boat shed, the
- 57:29sheriff cuts Nick's leg with a knife so blood can drip into the
- 57:32water, which didn't make any sense because later when we see
- 57:35an underwater view, that whole section under where the the hole
- 57:39is in the floor is all netted off with sharks just in it.
- 57:43They push sharks in there. So like, why do they need to?
- 57:46That didn't make any sense. So anyway, yeah, yeah, so.
- 57:49Dramatics. I guess so he, he cuts his leg
- 57:52with a knife so the the blood can drip in the water.
- 57:55And then when this happened, Nick reacts, kicks his leg out
- 57:59and ends up knocking over a gas can.
- 58:01I guess that's why they did it. They need the setup for the
- 58:03knocking over the gas can. So here's the setup.
- 58:06So the chair Nick's tied to is connected to this hydraulic
- 58:09pulley system. The sheriff starts raising him
- 58:11up over the big hole in the floor like he's about to be
- 58:13shark baked. Nick's pleading, saying you
- 58:16don't have to do this. You don't have to do this.
- 58:17The sheriff's like, oh, just think of like a carnival dunk
- 58:19tank, except this dunk day comes with A twist.
- 58:23So he lowers Nick down. Yeah.
- 58:26Dunks him into the water. I love that guy, too.
- 58:28Donald Logue, I guess is how you say.
- 58:30His name? Yeah, Donald Logue.
- 58:32Yeah, I love that. I loved him in a Grounded for
- 58:35Life. What was it?
- 58:36It was the show Grounded for Life.
- 58:37Oh, grounded for life. Oh, OK, OK.
- 58:39Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I love him.
- 58:42He dunks him in the water and Nick's down there looking around
- 58:45and all of a sudden a shark turns and looks at him, but the
- 58:49shark is not moving it just once it turns it stops moving.
- 58:52It just stares at him, which I thought was weird because I
- 58:55thought sharks had to constantly move all the time or they die.
- 58:57Nothing is what I guess. Yeah, yeah.
- 58:59That, that is something that that is real because the oxygen
- 59:03has to go through the rod gills. Yeah.
- 59:05Yeah, but this one apparently is just cool.
- 59:08He's just hanging out and making eye contact.
- 59:09That's all he wants to do. Well, I mean it is more
- 59:14romantic. When you.
- 59:16Yeah, right. And you think he would have just
- 59:17charged at it as soon as he got in there, but whatever.
- 59:20So. So the sheriff, the sheriff
- 59:22Yanks him back up. It's like he's just teasing him
- 59:25or maybe teasing the sharks. I don't know.
- 59:27I can't tell which. So then he turns on some music
- 59:29and starts rambling about how you're 15 times more likely to
- 59:32die from a coconut, coconut falling on your head than from a
- 59:35shark attack. And then he throws in a couple
- 59:37more random stats that I don't really remember.
- 59:40In the meantime, Nick's working on his escape.
- 59:42So Nick happened to have a lighter, and he was tied with
- 59:46zip ties, which are just plastic.
- 59:48So he takes the lighter and melts the ties to start bringing
- 59:52himself. The sheriff, meanwhile, is still
- 59:54on his little monologue, and he tells Nick he's a big hair metal
- 59:58fan and asks Nick if he has a request for his dyeing music.
- 1:00:01And Nick says Guns and Roses. And the sheriff laughs.
- 1:00:05Like, I know what you're trying to do, man.
- 1:00:07You're trying to make me love you.
- 1:00:08But he turns around. And goes back to the stereo to
- 1:00:11put on some guns and roses. That's when Nick tosses the
- 1:00:14lighter into the spilled gasoline and boom, up goes the
- 1:00:17sheriff on fire. So he's now run around like a
- 1:00:20maniac and of course falls straight into the water.
- 1:00:22Nick unties himself fully slams. There's a big glass door that
- 1:00:27goes on top of this hole in the floor.
- 1:00:29So he shuts that down over the hole.
- 1:00:32And then of course, the sharks attack and eat the sheriff.
- 1:00:35So bye bye sheriff Nick makes it out of the shed and head towards
- 1:00:38heads toward the door. The sun's it's just starting to
- 1:00:40come up and he spots the boat, which is not that far away,
- 1:00:43where Sarah is still stuck with Dennis in red.
- 1:00:46So without hesitation, he dives into the water and starts
- 1:00:49swimming toward them. Meanwhile, on the boat, Dennis
- 1:00:52is lowering Sarah into the water inside the shark cage.
- 1:00:55No, that sounds weird. Why did I write it like that?
- 1:01:05That makes it sound like I was saying he's lowering Sarah into
- 1:01:08the water that's inside the shark cage.
- 1:01:10Like the shark cage has water in it has.
- 1:01:13Water in it already. And the water is not escaping
- 1:01:17for some reason, even though there it should be.
- 1:01:19But anyway, Dennis is lowering. Sarah, who's in the shark cage,
- 1:01:26is now being lowered into the water by Dennis.
- 1:01:30There we go, There we go. But he doesn't put her all the
- 1:01:35way in. He pauses.
- 1:01:36So that's just like, her head sticking out and she's still got
- 1:01:39some, you know, she can still breathe.
- 1:01:40Then he sits at the edge of the boat and casually says, We had
- 1:01:43some good time, Sarah. Real shame.
- 1:01:46Then he dumps a bucket of bloody chum all over her.
- 1:01:49Honestly, this is the worst foreplay ever.
- 1:01:51It's basically the shark version of a cumshot.
- 1:01:57It's the facial. It is only fans.
- 1:02:04So this part I didn't really understand because she's in a
- 1:02:10Shark Tank or shark cage rather, right?
- 1:02:13And he's throwing chum on her? Yep.
- 1:02:16How is the shark supposed to get her?
- 1:02:19That's what I didn't understand. I was like what the fuck this is
- 1:02:22a shark cage on purpose. I mean shark cages are used by
- 1:02:25divers so they can go in the water where the sharks are and
- 1:02:27not get attacked by shark. Right.
- 1:02:29I mean it would make more sense if he cut the cable and let the
- 1:02:32shark cage fall to the bottom. Because.
- 1:02:36Then she has no way she couldn't get out.
- 1:02:38Yeah, yeah, yeah. She won't be able to breathe
- 1:02:39eventually. Yeah, but the sharks wouldn't be
- 1:02:42able to get her, right. Although technically we it later
- 1:02:45on does. And.
- 1:02:46And later on when we get to that part, we'll talk about it
- 1:02:49because he must have done something to that cage.
- 1:02:53But at this point in the movie, I am like, just like you.
- 1:02:56What the fuck are you doing? This is a shark cage.
- 1:02:58What are you doing? Does it make any sense?
- 1:03:00Yeah. So, yeah, that was.
- 1:03:01It seemed really dumb. And it probably still is really
- 1:03:03dumb. So.
- 1:03:06So just as Dennis is about to lower her the rest of the way
- 1:03:09down, Nick yells from behind. He's gotten up on the boat and
- 1:03:12he yells, bring her up. Dennis turns, and there's Nick
- 1:03:15holding Red in a chokehold, gun pressed against his head.
- 1:03:18And at this point I'm thinking, is Dennis even care about red?
- 1:03:22Like why would Dennis give a shit about red?
- 1:03:23I doubt he does. Like, is this really leverage?
- 1:03:25Because it didn't. Yeah, it didn't really seem like
- 1:03:28that. He gave a shit about Red.
- 1:03:29Yeah, If it was one or the other, either one would just let
- 1:03:32the other die. Like, I don't think anybody
- 1:03:34would care. So of course, Red's panicking.
- 1:03:36He's like, Dennis, come on, man. This isn't funny because Dennis
- 1:03:39is just looking at him. But Dennis doesn't exactly
- 1:03:41spring into action. So finally, Dennis goes OK, OK,
- 1:03:44and turns back towards Sarah. He smirks and says looks like
- 1:03:48it's your lucky day. And he goes like he's going to
- 1:03:50pull her back up. But instead there's a big knife
- 1:03:54right there, luckily, I guess. And he grabs that, whips around
- 1:03:58and throws it straight into Red. So then that drops him dead on
- 1:04:03the spot. Nick, let's go of him and Red's
- 1:04:05body tumbles into the water. Then Dennis lunges at Nick,
- 1:04:08grabbing him by the throat. And right in the middle of this
- 1:04:10showdown, he decides to basically quote Kenny Rogers.
- 1:04:13He says if you're going to play poker, son, you got to know what
- 1:04:16you're holding, is what he says. And my immediate thought was,
- 1:04:19well, Nick's. Holding a gun to hold them
- 1:04:22right. But I was like, oh, Nick's
- 1:04:24holding a gun, so he doesn't know what he's holding.
- 1:04:27And sure enough, Nick fires, shooting Dennis in the, like,
- 1:04:29near the ribs, lower ribs area. And Dennis stumbles back,
- 1:04:32clutching his side and falls straight into the lake.
- 1:04:34So now Nick scrambles to race Sarah back out of the water.
- 1:04:38You know, get the cage up. She's still just where she was.
- 1:04:41But of course, Dennis isn't done.
- 1:04:43He swam around the cage, climbing.
- 1:04:46I wrote swum. Is swum even a word anyway?
- 1:04:51He swummed there. He swummed for his life.
- 1:04:59He swam around the cage, climbing up the back of it,
- 1:05:02hands on the on the latch that would drop it from the chain,
- 1:05:06and before Nick could react, Dennis Yanks it loose and both
- 1:05:09he and Sarah plunged underwater. Sarah, of course, being trapped
- 1:05:12inside the cage and Dennis is on the outside.
- 1:05:15Nick grabs that electric shark rod exploding thingy or the
- 1:05:19giant bolt zapper gun, whatever it was, and dives in after them
- 1:05:22and he's trying to force the cage open.
- 1:05:24Sarah's inside, panicking, and she does that whole sign that I
- 1:05:28can't breathe, that I can't breathe.
- 1:05:30So what does Nick do? He floats away.
- 1:05:37She's like damn, what's this weird effect I have on?
- 1:05:39That on the water. No, Nick doesn't float away.
- 1:05:42So Nick then swim Well, he does. He swims up to the surface.
- 1:05:46He and it's funny because when he does swim to the surface, she
- 1:05:50kind of has this look on her face like Chucks.
- 1:05:53I guess this is it for me anyway.
- 1:05:55He gulps in a big breath, then then swims back down and blows
- 1:05:59air into her mouth, which I don't.
- 1:06:02I guess he didn't breathe in the air.
- 1:06:04This is one thing about CPR that I never understand.
- 1:06:06I mean, I guess there's, I guess there's a little bit of O2 in
- 1:06:09there, but when we breathe out, we breathe out carbon dioxide.
- 1:06:13So it's like, right, what are you giving them?
- 1:06:15It never makes sense. Yeah, no, no, I mean, all you're
- 1:06:19doing is like with CPRS, you're just pushing air into their into
- 1:06:23their esophagus to loosen up whatever's there.
- 1:06:25You're not really giving them any kind of oxygen.
- 1:06:28Yeah, you can't. You're just.
- 1:06:29A whole lot. Of air pump.
- 1:06:30Right. Yeah, Which of course now
- 1:06:32they've gotten rid of breaths, they just do compressions now.
- 1:06:35So anyway, this is not exactly a method, a rescue method.
- 1:06:37On which one you use? Yeah, that's right.
- 1:06:40It depends on which which method that you use, because you know,
- 1:06:44one method, yeah, they they did away with the breaths.
- 1:06:46And then there's another method you still use the breaths and.
- 1:06:50Oh. Oh, I thought you were.
- 1:06:52I thought you were being funny. Sorry.
- 1:06:54Because we know another way. No.
- 1:06:55No, no, no, there's actually. Because there's an only fans
- 1:06:58version of CPR that we have talked about, not on the show,
- 1:07:01but. I beg.
- 1:07:15Your pardon? Yeah.
- 1:07:21OK, where the heck am I? All right, So then Dennis comes
- 1:07:24from behind. What a Segway.
- 1:07:30I know, right? Perfect.
- 1:07:32OK, he grabs a hold of Nick. He grabs a hold of Nick.
- 1:07:38They're in the struggle. Nick drops the big shark.
- 1:07:41But oh, he drops the big shark busting prod thing and things
- 1:07:45are looking bad until Sarah steps up.
- 1:07:47Nick and Dennis are fighting up against the cage and Nick is up.
- 1:07:51Nick is the one that's up against the cage.
- 1:07:53So Sarah steps in. She grabs Dennis by the hair and
- 1:07:55Yanks his head back and repeatedly, repeatedly slams his
- 1:08:00face, his face, the back of his head into the cage.
- 1:08:03At some point, she ties his leg to the bar, which I didn't see.
- 1:08:06And I don't know what she tied him with or she had anything
- 1:08:09with her. But that traps him there.
- 1:08:12Yeah, but that traps him there, attached to the cage.
- 1:08:15And he looks at her and she flips him off.
- 1:08:18And then you see, because the shark is coming towards Dennis
- 1:08:21and he can't get free. So guess what?
- 1:08:24It's not a very loyal. I mean, I guess they severed
- 1:08:27their ties with their manager because he just chomps Dennis a
- 1:08:31lot like that on the cage. So then Nick resurfaces.
- 1:08:35And this was skimming. Yeah, so Nick is now at the
- 1:08:38surface of the water, and guess who shows up?
- 1:08:40Sherman, The goodest of good boys.
- 1:08:42He's achieved the electronic exploding.
- 1:08:45Yeah, like a champ. So good dog.
- 1:08:46Good dog. So meanwhile, the shark isn't
- 1:08:49done. It starts hammering the flimsy
- 1:08:51cage, breaking through it like it's made of tin.
- 1:08:53So basically if you look at this cage, there were parts in the
- 1:08:58middle section where cuz you get that, well, there's the, there's
- 1:09:02that part that's pretty open, but then underneath that you
- 1:09:05have rods that go down, you know, whatever.
- 1:09:09But they had like, I don't know if they had weakened them or
- 1:09:12done something, but they had, they look like, like they took
- 1:09:15pool noodles and cut them down to size and put them around
- 1:09:18these bars. And I guess that maybe that's
- 1:09:21why, because the shark went right through it real easy.
- 1:09:24It didn't have any problem getting through those bars, but
- 1:09:27it's just hammering at this flimsy cage and it breaks
- 1:09:30through it and no problem. And I mean, it's practically
- 1:09:33like, I don't know, paper mache or something.
- 1:09:35So the shark's just about to get Sarah when Nick stabs it with
- 1:09:38the prod and boom, shark guts go everywhere.
- 1:09:41Then we see Sarah and she's limp.
- 1:09:43She's out of air again, so Nick swims into the cage, pulls her
- 1:09:46out, drags her to the surface, always drags her to the surface.
- 1:09:50Sherman even grabs her hand, helping haul her back to the
- 1:09:53boat or to the dock. Nick gives her CPR, she coughs
- 1:09:56and she sputters back to life. Nick tells her it's over.
- 1:10:00She kisses him and whispers thank you.
- 1:10:02They both look out at the water, catching their breath.
- 1:10:06And then because this was a 3D movie by the way, I forgot to
- 1:10:09mention that. Yes, yeah, I was a little
- 1:10:12annoyed by that too. Yeah.
- 1:10:14And then because it didn't need. To be 3D.
- 1:10:17No. And it was funny because
- 1:10:18sometimes like it, it didn't look weird when you were
- 1:10:20watching it, except sometimes things when they were blowing up
- 1:10:23or going towards you, they were obviously like thrown at you in
- 1:10:27a weird way. And so that's, you know, if
- 1:10:29you're wearing 33D glasses, that's how it would look like.
- 1:10:32It's it's actually hitting you, I guess.
- 1:10:34And that and and that could be why the underwater shots look so
- 1:10:37weird. Oh, yeah, yeah.
- 1:10:39Maybe that is why that was like that.
- 1:10:40I forgot about that. I didn't even think about that.
- 1:10:42So. But because this was a 3D movie
- 1:10:44and they just, you know, had to end it with a gold jump scare, I
- 1:10:47guess a giant shark lunges out of the water and straight at the
- 1:10:51screen, which is supposed to be terrifying, I guess, in the
- 1:10:53theaters. But really, it's just the 3D
- 1:10:55gimmick thing. One last time.
- 1:10:57Yeah. So that's the end.
- 1:10:59Yay. Yay.
- 1:11:01So, your thoughts on Shark Night?
- 1:11:04I did not care for it as as we stated, I love Ronald Logue, the
- 1:11:09sheriff, right? And what was the other guy's
- 1:11:12name? Gordon.
- 1:11:14Yeah, his name is Gordon. Gordon Yeah.
- 1:11:16Gordon was his character's name. He has.
- 1:11:18He's one of the three names, right?
- 1:11:20Something David Morris or I can't think of.
- 1:11:23He's got three names, yeah. Yeah, I mean, I, I don't know
- 1:11:26his his name either, but he's an actor that, you know, if you see
- 1:11:31him, you know him, man. Like I said, like whenever he's
- 1:11:34in a movie, you know, it's going to be somewhat cheesy.
- 1:11:36But I like him for that, you know, because he he does put a
- 1:11:40lot into his roles. Even though the movie might not
- 1:11:44be great, he does a good job with what he has.
- 1:11:46So I think he's been in Hatchet, he was in Grandma's Boy, couple
- 1:11:52of other things. Joel Joel David Moore.
- 1:11:55I don't know what's. His name OK, but I know that,
- 1:11:59you know, when you watch a movie, you know, you, you kind
- 1:12:02of you you need to have a sense of reality.
- 1:12:07What am I trying to say? Suspend reality, you know,
- 1:12:09because it's a movie, you know, and it's a story and it's
- 1:12:13supposed to be supposed to be exciting, dramatic, whatever
- 1:12:18this one asked too much of you to says says I'm going to have
- 1:12:21reality, right? That's me fucking up.
- 1:12:27Right. You, you know, it, it asks you
- 1:12:31too much to suspend reality. And it just took me right out of
- 1:12:36it. And I just, I don't know, I, I
- 1:12:38spent more time trying to look up inaccuracies than actually
- 1:12:44like sitting down and watching the movie because there was so
- 1:12:47much going on that was wrong. It's just like, and you know,
- 1:12:52because like at one point they said that there was a tiger
- 1:12:54shark. Tiger sharks really can't live
- 1:12:57in in a lakes long term. They came for a short, short
- 1:13:00term, but not long term. Bull sharks.
- 1:13:02Yeah, they can. I mean, they they're they, they
- 1:13:05can live in just about anything. They're like the snails of the
- 1:13:08ocean. Right.
- 1:13:08Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's.
- 1:13:10Good even though cells are in the ocean, but.
- 1:13:11Right. Good analogy though.
- 1:13:15Right. But honestly, All in all, I
- 1:13:17would give it a four cents. I wouldn't go much higher than
- 1:13:19that. Right.
- 1:13:20So I, I actually watch this movie twice sometimes.
- 1:13:23I'm sorry. Yeah, I watched, Of course, my
- 1:13:25first run through was just to watch it.
- 1:13:27My second one is to do all my my stuff.
- 1:13:29Of course, you know, not a spectacular movie, but I can't
- 1:13:32say that I hated it because I do have some sort of weird affinity
- 1:13:37for cheesy ass shark movies. I don't know why.
- 1:13:41I just do just. I think I inside of jaws, I
- 1:13:45expect every other shark movie I watch to be a cheesy ass shark
- 1:13:50movie. I have no Great Expectations of
- 1:13:53it being, you know, amazing and fantabulous.
- 1:13:55And of course it does have it had two people in it that I I
- 1:13:59love. I love Joel David Moore and I
- 1:14:01love Donald Logue. So they helped the movie a lot
- 1:14:05because both of them did. I mean, and it wasn't like, you
- 1:14:08know, even for a cheesy movie, like sometimes I'll watch some
- 1:14:11cheesy ass fucking shark movies and you know, the acting is just
- 1:14:14like, what the fuck? Like do these people even have
- 1:14:17they ever acted before? And some of them have because a
- 1:14:20lot, and I hate to say this because I don't have anything
- 1:14:22against this guy, but Casper Van Dean is in a lot of these cheesy
- 1:14:27ass water movies that there's something in the water, whether
- 1:14:30it's a shark or there was one I watched with him.
- 1:14:35I think his wife was in it too and she was like a scientist.
- 1:14:38Was it some water wolf? Maybe, I don't know, like a wolf
- 1:14:41shark and it was like a or a wolf octopus.
- 1:14:43Maybe in water wolf. It was it was dumb.
- 1:14:48And the acting usually is just absolutely fucking horrible in
- 1:14:53all of them. But this one, I didn't find the
- 1:14:55acting to be too bad Anybody but those two, of course.
- 1:14:58And like you said, I. I would agree.
- 1:15:01I would agree. That is one thing I did forget
- 1:15:03to mention is that for what they had, I thought everybody did a
- 1:15:07good job with the roles that they had in the acting right.
- 1:15:11It was the story that was really messed up.
- 1:15:13Right, right. And it's funny because the guy
- 1:15:15that played red, that's the that guy was in.
- 1:15:19Fuck, I didn't hear, I didn't see that one.
- 1:15:22That's. The name of the movie?
- 1:15:26It's fuck with a long pause. That's exactly how you say it.
- 1:15:33Dot dot dot. Blair Witch Project.
- 1:15:35I was like, my God, what the fuck?
- 1:15:37But he was Josh in The Blair Witch Project.
- 1:15:41And it's funny, anytime I see the only two I've ever seen from
- 1:15:44that movie that have done other movies.
- 1:15:46Yeah, So the only ones I've ever seen from that movie are him and
- 1:15:49the girl. I haven't seen that other guy do
- 1:15:51anything else. But any time I see them, I
- 1:15:54automatically always think of, yeah, Heather, I automatically
- 1:15:57always think of Blair Witch and I'm always like, what are they
- 1:15:59doing here? I thought they died.
- 1:16:01Wasn't that real every time. But yeah, so I didn't really
- 1:16:04hate the movie. This is one of those movies that
- 1:16:06again, I did watch it twice and I wasn't like, Oh my God, I have
- 1:16:09to watch it twice. Because there have been some
- 1:16:11movies where I'm like, fuck, I have to watch this twice.
- 1:16:13But this one I didn't, I didn't, I didn't hate it enough to where
- 1:16:16I was like, Oh my God, I have to watch it twice.
- 1:16:19So I I mean, it wasn't fantastic, but I would probably
- 1:16:22give it a 5 1/2. I mean, you know, it's one of
- 1:16:25those movies like yes, and I know we say this all the time.
- 1:16:28If I were flipping through channels that I don't flip
- 1:16:30through anymore and it was on, I'd probably keep watching it
- 1:16:33just for the heck of it, just because, just because those two
- 1:16:36people are in it mainly because I like them so much.
- 1:16:39So they are the one that that's probably why I'd keep watching.
- 1:16:41It's definitely a background. It's definitely like a
- 1:16:44background movie. Right.
- 1:16:46I mean, you see on your phone, do another.
- 1:16:48Section too. Right, yeah, I'm over here
- 1:16:51playing Merge Mansion while I'm watching the show or whatever.
