  Welcome to What's Your Least Favorite Scary Movie?
• 1:13
  The podcast where we talk about the good, the bad, the ugly and
• 1:17
  the absurd and all of our favorite.
• 1:18
  And least favorite scary movies because we believe every horror
• 1:21
  movie rightfully has its fan base, even if.
• 1:23
  We don't always. Get it?
• 1:24
  My name is Travis. My name is Jesse, and happy 4th,
• 1:29
  everyone. We decided to go super patriotic
• 1:32
  and talk about the birds. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:36
  We're really excited that this fell on a release day.
• 1:41
  Yeah, I didn't. I didn't even think about that
• 1:44
  whenever I picked this one, but I just knew that it fits July.
• 1:49
  Yes. So yeah, we're we're being very
• 1:52
  patriotic for sure. Yes, I guess we, we have like
• 1:57
  did a bonus episode back in 2021 for the Forever Purge and we've
• 2:05
  been wanting to kind of visit the series completely, but, you
• 2:10
  know, it feels like it needs to fall at a certain time.
• 2:13
  Yeah. This is one of those ones I feel
• 2:14
  we we can do it like casually. We don't need to make this one a
• 2:18
  whole franchise, but. We'll.
• 2:20
  We'll end up talking about all of them, I'm sure, because we
• 2:23
  like these movies. Yes, absolutely.
• 2:25
  They're much like the Saws and the Screams and the Halloweens.
• 2:29
  They're movies that we just kind of put on casualties.
• 2:31
  Yeah, yeah, true. OK, announcements.
• 2:36
  We had R2B or not to be this past weekend.
• 2:38
  It was on Wolf Cop. Yeah, Wolf Cop.
• 2:41
  And it was a lot of fun. Yes, it was.
• 2:43
  So make sure you check that out. And I think that's it for
• 2:47
  announcements. We had our Patreon episode out
• 2:50
  to. This.
• 2:51
  Past week, which was for June, which was horror Jeopardy, Yeah,
• 2:55
  horror Jeopardy. So that had a lot of fun with
• 2:58
  that. So if you are a Jeopardy slash
• 3:01
  trivia fan and you want to check that out, head on over to our
• 3:03
  Patreon. Yep.
• 3:06
  Budget tier. Budget tier, yes.
• 3:08
  All right, I've got her poll. OK, so last week I wanted to ask
• 3:13
  everybody what your favorite good guy doll catch phrase was.
• 3:16
  So the options were A which was hi, I'm Chucky and I'm your
• 3:21
  friend till the end, Heidi Ho BI like to be hugged and C hi, I'm
• 3:28
  Chucky wanna play so and I chose the intense space where he like
• 3:33
  turns his head back. Into that Chucky wanna play?
• 3:36
  Yeah. It gets a little bit more
• 3:37
  sinister. OK, so on Instagram 14% like I'm
• 3:43
  your friend till the end, 36% I like to be hugged 50% hi, I'm
• 3:48
  Chucky want to play. And on Twitter it's 50% I'm your
• 3:53
  friend till the end and 50% Hi, I'm Chucky want to play.
• 3:56
  Yeah, my favorite. I think you got to go with that.
• 4:01
  Hi, I'm Chucky want to play because it's just so iconic and
• 4:04
  it has probably the biggest impact in the movie when he
• 4:06
  makes that reveal with that one. I like the friend to the end
• 4:12
  because. It sets Andy up.
• 4:14
  It sets Andy up, but also it like it kind of plays on that
• 4:19
  whole like loyalty children have to their their stuffies.
• 4:23
  And that's true, especially something that's like such a
• 4:27
  like, I don't know the right word for it for the not
• 4:34
  franchise, but like it's such a big thing for kids where they've
• 4:37
  got all of the different, they've got the show, they've
• 4:41
  got the different things you can buy, they've got the cereal.
• 4:44
  Like it's just it. It's ingrained in their life.
• 4:47
  Property. Yeah.
• 4:48
  Franchise is the right word, I think.
• 4:50
  It don't, it doesn't feel, it's not what it's not the word I'm
• 4:54
  looking for. I I don't know what the word I'm
• 4:56
  looking for is, but that's not there's a different term I'm
• 5:00
  trying to think of. But anyway, yeah, I like the
• 5:03
  friend to the end, OK? So, all right, so that's it for
• 5:07
  the polls. So I think we're ready to purge.
• 5:10
  OK. So let's do this.
• 5:12
  OK, The Purge released May 2nd, 2013 at the Stanley Film
• 5:17
  Festival with a wide release on June 7th, 2013.
• 5:21
  We watched it on our fork, but as of the end of June, which
• 5:25
  when this releases, who knows what the situation's going to
• 5:28
  be. I don't know.
• 5:30
  Could be completely different in July, so check your streaming
• 5:32
  options if you want to watch this thing.
• 5:34
  Yes, but as of like today you can't stream it anywhere, but
• 5:39
  you can rent it from YouTube, Google Play Prime or Fandango at
• 5:42
  home. Written and directed by James
• 5:45
  Demonaco, music by Nathan Whitehead and special effects
• 5:49
  prosthetics by Greg McDougall. Starring Ethan Hawke is James
• 5:53
  Sanden, Lena Hetty as Mary Sanden, Max Buckholder as
• 5:57
  Charlie Sanden, Adelaide Kane as Zoe Sanden, Tony Aller as Henry,
• 6:03
  Edwin Hodge as Bloody Stranger and Reese Wakefield as Polite
• 6:07
  Leader. Polite leader.
• 6:12
  All right, Travis, it's time for our favorite game budget.
• 6:15
  Or bug Ted. I know for a fact that this is
• 6:18
  going to be a bug. Ted.
• 6:19
  Again, Blumhouse. Yeah, I was going to say the
• 6:22
  Blumhouse logo. Yeah, but we also in our To Be
• 6:25
  or Not to Be. I used Purge Anarchy as one of
• 6:28
  the comparison movies and that one only had a $9 million
• 6:30
  budget, and there's no way that this one had a bigger budget
• 6:33
  than that one. Yes, in fact, anarchy was thrice
• 6:37
  the budget of this. I don't get to use thrice enough
• 6:40
  in my daily life so thank you. Budget of 3 million.
• 6:45
  Nice. OK.
• 6:46
  Opening box office of 34 million and a worldwide gross of
• 6:50
  89,000,000. Current IMDb score of 5.7 out of
• 6:54
  10 not. Bad.
• 6:55
  That's not too bad. I don't want people kind of hate
• 6:58
  on this one. Yeah, I and I'll talk about my
• 7:01
  feelings on that in a little bit.
• 7:03
  Yeah, I've got some myself. Yeah, yeah.
• 7:05
  OK. I have a theme for three movies
• 7:09
  in 2013. OK.
• 7:11
  And the theme is wait, exactly how many movies are in this
• 7:16
  franchise at this point? Oh, interesting.
• 7:19
  OK. And I mean at this .20240, OK.
• 7:22
  24 OK, yeah, OK, cool. Well, let's let's go.
• 7:26
  The first one and budget to your bubbies.
• 7:29
  We'll we'll know why this is funny.
• 7:31
  The first one's The Conjuring. The.
• 7:33
  Conjuring. Oh man, I love.
• 7:37
  You know what? That's a great question for that
• 7:40
  because it has. Are we counting Annabelle and
• 7:44
  the Nun and part of the franchise?
• 7:46
  I think we have to. But they're also kind of like
• 7:49
  offshoots. So it's weird that like
• 7:51
  Annabelle is kind of like cannibalized that entire thing,
• 7:54
  like it was The Conjuring universe and now it's like the
• 7:56
  Annabelle verse or something. Like that I.
• 7:59
  Interesting, that's a good question.
• 8:01
  I I couldn't give you an answer. That released July 19th, 2013 on
• 8:06
  a budget of $20 million and a worldwide gross of 320 million.
• 8:12
  Holy hell and IMDb score of 7.5 out of 10.
• 8:15
  That's insane. That movie was awesome though.
• 8:18
  Yeah, it it was really good. And I think it's it's one of
• 8:21
  those that's it's like more mainstream horror.
• 8:25
  Yeah, it. Is but like, I remember when we
• 8:28
  watched it in theaters, like I walked away.
• 8:29
  I was like, holy hell, that was amazing.
• 8:30
  Yeah, that was really good. It was really shocking, really.
• 8:34
  Shocking. 2nd movie, one neither of us is very familiar with.
• 8:40
  Insidious, Chapter 2. Man is this also just gonna be
• 8:45
  like James 1 theme list? No, and you'll understand why in
• 8:51
  a second. OK.
• 8:52
  Yeah, OK. That released September 13th,
• 8:55
  2013 on a budget of 5 million and it grossed 161.9 million.
• 9:01
  Has an IMDb score of 6.5 out of 10.
• 9:05
  Now I feel like maybe I need to give some of the other Insidious
• 9:08
  movies a chance, but I did not feel the first one and I don't
• 9:13
  know. I just, I don't know if I want
• 9:15
  to dedicate my time to a follow up of a movie I didn't dig.
• 9:18
  See, I was thinking about it the other day.
• 9:21
  I I want to revisit the first one because I didn't hate it,
• 9:25
  but I never really understood the hype for the whole
• 9:28
  franchise. Yeah, but I kind of want to give
• 9:31
  it another shot. I do love Rose Byrne.
• 9:33
  Yeah, oh shit, she is the. She's the mom, yeah.
• 9:36
  She is, yeah. Damn.
• 9:37
  Yeah. So.
• 9:38
  And the ending of that movie is incredible.
• 9:40
  Yes, it's just like all of the in between kind of tedious.
• 9:44
  Yeah, OK. And the third?
• 9:46
  Maybe Texas Chainsaw. Yeah.
• 9:51
  And this is the one that I for my own personal memory.
• 9:57
  You. Struggle.
• 9:58
  I subtitle it. Do your thing 'cause.
• 10:00
  Do you think? We will eventually cover this
• 10:03
  franchise on this show and you guys are going to understand
• 10:06
  that despite the fact that I've seen all of these movies,
• 10:09
  several of them multiple times, I could not tell you which one
• 10:13
  is which. This is a franchise that is
• 10:16
  extremely confusing, even more so than the Halloween franchise
• 10:20
  because they have split timelines where Leatherface has
• 10:24
  different names and different timelines.
• 10:26
  Yes, it's so weird. So like, which one are you doing
• 10:30
  a sequel prequel to? Like it's really confusing.
• 10:32
  Yes, it it's I kind of like the James Bond Double O 7 theory
• 10:39
  where like it passes along to a different person.
• 10:42
  Yeah, Leather Face is just. Yeah, Leather Face is just a
• 10:45
  code name. Dude down in Texas, dime a
• 10:48
  dozen. There's a guy down there
• 10:50
  somewhere wearing a face, using a chainsaw, eating some people.
• 10:53
  Which leather face do you want? You want it in this town or this
• 10:56
  town? Are you trying North Texas?
• 10:58
  South Texas? East Texas?
• 10:59
  West TX? Which leather face do you want?
• 11:02
  All right. Once you pick that out, which
• 11:03
  variety of Bill Moser do you want?
• 11:05
  Do you want him as chop top or do you want him as the uncle or
• 11:09
  the dad or whatever the role that guy is?
• 11:11
  Like you got a pic? Yeah, yeah.
• 11:14
  The reason I knew this one is because when I, you know, I
• 11:18
  found my list of 2013 movies and I pulled it up to get the dad
• 11:22
  and I saw Alexandria Daddario and I was like, this is the one
• 11:25
  I like. This is the.
• 11:27
  This is. The first movie that we watched
• 11:29
  when I got my apartment down in Richmond and yeah, we watched
• 11:33
  it. I didn't even have any
• 11:34
  furniture. We just set up the laptop and we
• 11:36
  watched some Texas. Yeah, we set up the laptop, we
• 11:38
  heated up a frozen pizza in the oven, and we laid on some
• 11:42
  pillows and comforted around the floor.
• 11:44
  Hey, you know what? We did our thing.
• 11:45
  'Cause we did our thing, 'cause So that really is January 4th,
• 11:51
  2013. It had a budget of I wrote Oh no
• 11:56
  I just scrolled myself out. 20 million and a worldwide gross of
• 11:59
  47 million. Wow.
• 12:01
  And IMDb score 4.8 out of 10. I don't care, I love this movie.
• 12:08
  It's. Fun.
• 12:09
  It's one that like when Travis is like do you want to watch a
• 12:12
  Texas chainsaw? I'm either going to say 1-2 or
• 12:15
  do your thing because. It's not my favorite, but I'll
• 12:19
  I'll watch it. It's fine.
• 12:21
  It's it's a fun enough one. You watch it to make me happy.
• 12:24
  I like it too, it has its moments.
• 12:27
  OK I have multiple taglines so the first one one night a year.
• 12:34
  All crime is legal. Survive the night.
• 12:38
  Those are both on the poster. I don't know if they were
• 12:39
  together or separate. I put them together.
• 12:41
  It sounds about right. Yeah.
• 12:43
  OK, it's OK. Reminder all emergency services
• 12:47
  will be suspended for a 12 hour period during the purge.
• 12:51
  I kind of like that these are just like, probably what you
• 12:54
  would get from, like, a pamphlet.
• 12:56
  Yeah. Like, you know, it's just like,
• 12:58
  hey, by the way, just so you know.
• 13:00
  Well, that's about to change. If on one night every year you
• 13:03
  could commit any crime without facing consequences, what would
• 13:06
  you do? It's asking us a question.
• 13:09
  That would be like, would you like fundamentalist for the new
• 13:13
  founding Father, which that's like a fundamentalist group
• 13:17
  anyway. I kind of feel like, yeah,
• 13:19
  that's like the pamphlets they would give out, like how we have
• 13:22
  the fundies that come around and be like, you're going to hell,
• 13:24
  like those little comic books that they like to pass out.
• 13:27
  Yeah, yeah. And then finally, we have you
• 13:32
  find folk. You find fault.
• 13:35
  You find. Just a quote from the leader.
• 13:39
  I almost called him the gentle perjury.
• 13:42
  Gentle perjury. He is kind of gentle with his
• 13:44
  approach to everything. He he is who I picture in my
• 13:49
  head when I read the Myron Bolatar books.
• 13:51
  He's his best friend is like a yuppie who's described as like
• 13:54
  being blonde and have very like Waspy features.
• 13:57
  Windsor Lockhorn. The third I picked Reese
• 14:00
  Wakefield. Yes, exactly.
• 14:03
  That is why I picture in my head he.
• 14:04
  Is 1/3 of some. Generation.
• 14:09
  OK, I've got a few fun facts. OK.
• 14:12
  Yeah. So this was actually expired,
• 14:15
  Expired. This is actually inspired the
• 14:17
  script was by a kind of like off hand reactionary comment from
• 14:23
  Demonica's wife because they were driving a drunk driver
• 14:26
  almost hit them. And you know, that big road rage
• 14:31
  scare incident. She kind of was just like, I
• 14:34
  wish everybody got a free one per year.
• 14:36
  Talking about like a free murder per year.
• 14:38
  Yeah, So it inspired the script. He works on it.
• 14:42
  He is working with Le Mercier, who is one of the producers of
• 14:46
  this movie, and they're trying to sell the script.
• 14:49
  But so many studios were saying that it is too UN American
• 14:52
  because of its commentary on violence and gun control.
• 14:56
  I. Wouldn't say it's UN American, I
• 14:57
  think it's very American, just anti American.
• 15:00
  Yeah, it's like the kind of American where it's like, hey,
• 15:04
  maybe we should recognize the parts of our country that aren't
• 15:07
  perfect. And you're like, no America's.
• 15:09
  Perfect. What?
• 15:10
  That is what America is about. We're supposed to be able to
• 15:12
  criticize. Yeah, so of course, enter Jason
• 15:16
  Blum. If he he is tasked with making
• 15:20
  this movie happen with $3,000,000.
• 15:22
  And if you're wondering how do you get Ethan Hawke for a budget
• 15:25
  of $3,000,000 when you also have all of these sets you have to do
• 15:30
  and all of this violence and special effects?
• 15:33
  Well what you do is you have Ethan Hawke sleep on Jason
• 15:37
  Blum's couch during the duration of filming and accept $10,000
• 15:43
  and end up making $2,000,000 on back end compensation once the
• 15:46
  movie is successful. That's smart right there.
• 15:49
  But I wonder like, didn't they have like a pre-existing
• 15:52
  relationship or something like that?
• 15:54
  I think so. I think that like, I think he
• 15:56
  did this as a favor. And I think that Ethan Hawke
• 15:59
  also knows that this is a character he kind of tends to
• 16:02
  get typecast in, especially with Blumhouse films, because think
• 16:06
  about his character in Sinister. Yeah, he's also like a
• 16:13
  self-serving dad who puts his family at danger to move his own
• 16:17
  career forward. It's funny that I imagine he may
• 16:20
  have went up to Jason Blum was like, hey man, can I not play
• 16:23
  this character? He's like, okay, I've got like a
• 16:26
  kid diddler. Like, do you wanna do that?
• 16:29
  It's like. Damn it.
• 16:33
  Monkey paw curls. Yeah, just one.
• 16:37
  Yeah. So another thing they did to
• 16:41
  save money, a lot of people were like, why would you have this
• 16:44
  concept where society is going wild but you keep it in the
• 16:47
  house? I was one of those people.
• 16:49
  I've read theories that it was kind of like a Trojan horse,
• 16:52
  Introduce people to the concept. If they like it, then we can
• 16:55
  explore more with a bigger budget.
• 16:56
  And that's kind of what they had to do because the budget wasn't
• 17:00
  enough for them to do all of those different set pieces.
• 17:02
  This was shot in LA, which you if you were going to shoot
• 17:06
  outdoors and not on a set, you'd have to close down streets, get
• 17:09
  permits, all those things like that.
• 17:11
  So they set most of this in the House for budgetary purposes.
• 17:15
  That makes sense. Yeah.
• 17:17
  I think I had always remembered them talking about that.
• 17:20
  This is kind of the test of the waters.
• 17:22
  Yes. And then they'll open it up
• 17:24
  after the. Fact.
• 17:24
  And that was a big thing with Orange is the New Black, too,
• 17:28
  because it's based off of a memoir by a woman who actually
• 17:31
  like went to prison. So the first season is Piper
• 17:34
  Chapman. She's our Trojan horse.
• 17:35
  She's what's gets us into that world.
• 17:37
  And then the rest of it is an exploration of like our justice
• 17:41
  system and all of the different stories of the different
• 17:44
  characters contained within. And by the end, people are like,
• 17:47
  I'm kind of, I don't need to see Piper on my screen anymore.
• 17:50
  Let's see some of these other characters.
• 17:52
  It's kind. Of cool and a show can do.
• 17:54
  That. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
• 17:55
  And it, I mean, it went on for like seven or eight seasons, I
• 17:58
  think so. Yeah, yeah.
• 18:00
  And finally, they did some test audience, as they do, to make
• 18:05
  sure that it's going to be successful, see if anything
• 18:08
  needs to be tweaked. And James Demonico found it very
• 18:11
  disturbing that there were some test audience members who
• 18:14
  approve of the idea of a purge. And he was like, it's also kind
• 18:18
  of antithetical to what the movie is trying to say.
• 18:21
  Yeah. But then you're going to like,
• 18:23
  it's going to reach those people.
• 18:24
  Yeah, that are like, oh. Hell yeah, I don't want to kill
• 18:27
  people like. Yeah.
• 18:29
  And somebody's going to like, really like, fantasize this type
• 18:31
  of shit. Jesse I would just be one of
• 18:34
  those people that would be like, cool.
• 18:36
  Jesse gets designer clothes without repercussions.
• 18:40
  Jesse breaks into a high end store.
• 18:43
  Yeah, that's the stuff that I would do.
• 18:45
  I would try and like, all right, like I can just like really
• 18:47
  fucking like go and get the shit that I want.
• 18:50
  I don't have to pay for anything.
• 18:51
  I just. Travis gets his new PlayStation.
• 18:57
  Give me a like, I'll like go and like tie a whole fucking pool to
• 19:00
  my car and just drag it through the streets like Fast and
• 19:02
  Furious style with a bank vault. Dude like a hold contractors at
• 19:08
  gunpoint digging in ground pool like we've got to get this done
• 19:12
  now we have 12 hours to complete the project.
• 19:16
  I also think it's funny that he's like worried about that and
• 19:18
  then like his wife and like he, she kind of came up with the
• 19:22
  idea in the 1st place. Like maybe she like secretly
• 19:25
  deep. Now she's like, I'll fuck him
• 19:26
  off. That too, actually.
• 19:27
  No, I think it's kind of like one of those things where it's
• 19:30
  like, you know, everybody jokes that you should be allowed to
• 19:32
  slack one person. No, I get it, I get it.
• 19:34
  I I don't think she actually wants to murder.
• 19:36
  Somebody, but like, especially in a moment like that where
• 19:40
  you're almost hit by a drunk driver, like, what are you
• 19:43
  doing, man? I get it.
• 19:44
  Yeah, I get it. OK, so I guess that brings us to
• 19:48
  our good, bad, ugly and absurd. Yes, it does.
• 19:52
  All right, I will kick it off. This is one of those movies that
• 19:56
  has a really strong premise. I love the idea that you don't
• 20:01
  have to worry about your repercussions.
• 20:02
  And like the whole idea that like somebody can come to your
• 20:05
  house and just straight up murder you.
• 20:06
  And like, it's fucking chaos everywhere.
• 20:09
  And like the premise alone just gives the movie tension
• 20:13
  throughout. And that's how it is for me for
• 20:15
  all of the movies. Because like, I know like no
• 20:18
  matter where you go, no matter what you do, there's always
• 20:20
  going to be danger. So that right there is really
• 20:23
  interesting. It makes the movie kind of it,
• 20:26
  it kind of keeps you there no matter what the entire time.
• 20:29
  I like that this turns into a entertaining home invasion movie
• 20:34
  like halfway through. See, I remember whenever we
• 20:38
  watched this in theaters, a lot of people were kind of bummed
• 20:42
  because they wanted to see everything going on out there.
• 20:46
  But I remember watching everything leading up to the
• 20:48
  release and I wanted a nice home invasion movie.
• 20:51
  So that's what I got and I, you know, I had a good time with it,
• 20:55
  But I understand other people's frustrations with that because
• 20:58
  like the whole idea, like once we do open it up and go explore
• 21:02
  the city and stuff and the sequel is like, I get it.
• 21:04
  There's no going back. You want that going forward.
• 21:07
  And the other things that I like about this movie, and this is
• 21:10
  something that happens with the series as it, it keeps going,
• 21:14
  but it gets its message across without beating you over the
• 21:18
  fucking head with it. And it's not super preachy,
• 21:22
  which the later movies, it can't help itself.
• 21:25
  It just like beats you over the head with like the message.
• 21:28
  They try and slap your face with it and shit like that.
• 21:31
  It's just like, we get it. Like, understand entirely what
• 21:35
  this is about. Now let us like actually watch
• 21:37
  the movie unfold for once. But yeah, so those are my
• 21:42
  positives for this. So I was one of those people
• 21:45
  that was a little bit bummed that we had this amazing premise
• 21:49
  and it takes place in a single location, as much as I love a
• 21:54
  single location. I know that's your jam.
• 21:56
  I know, but I think now that we have the franchise that we
• 22:03
  currently have, I really appreciate this movie for what
• 22:08
  it does because it takes this extreme premise and it puts us
• 22:12
  in what is supposed to be a quote UN quote secure place with
• 22:16
  it. It puts us in like a safe
• 22:20
  environment to explore this premise and then we realize it's
• 22:23
  not all that safe. And we do get that messaging of
• 22:26
  like, the Purge really is meant to basically cool the poor
• 22:31
  population, the homeless population.
• 22:34
  And it doesn't happen in neighborhoods like ours.
• 22:38
  Like I'm going to say that's not very subtle.
• 22:41
  No, personally. But that's a testament to how it
• 22:45
  gets in the later interest of this movie.
• 22:47
  Like that right there is subtle for this.
• 22:50
  Series, but I I do appreciate that we have like the single
• 22:54
  family perspective and like you said, once you open those
• 22:57
  floodgates, you you can't go back.
• 23:00
  Like nobody's going to want to see the chaos in an entire city
• 23:04
  and then go back to a single house.
• 23:07
  Yes. And I do remember one thing that
• 23:09
  I appreciated about this movie, even from the jump, was like the
• 23:13
  absolute terror I have as a quote, UN quote, have not the
• 23:20
  fact that we would be so fucking vulnerable during this.
• 23:24
  Yeah, we wouldn't have that security system.
• 23:27
  And then also to know that, say you did scrimp and save and get
• 23:31
  a security system knowing that it's all bullshit.
• 23:33
  Yeah, right. And I get what he's saying that
• 23:35
  like a lot of times it just looking intimidating is enough.
• 23:39
  And you do see that a lot of crimes, home invasions are
• 23:43
  crimes of opportunity. You know, if you've got a
• 23:46
  security system, even if it's not working, a lot of times
• 23:48
  criminals will be like, I'm not going to risk it.
• 23:50
  The same with like just having a sticker on your window or like
• 23:52
  in your property, like hey, like it just kind of gives the
• 23:55
  impression you might not be safe to enter this home.
• 23:58
  Yeah, or like a lot of times you can pump a shotgun without ever
• 24:01
  having to shoot it because that sounds enough to scare somebody.
• 24:03
  That is a scary sound. Yeah, so like I get the premise
• 24:07
  behind it, but it's also it's so gummy to sell people what I'm
• 24:12
  assuming are like up in the five or six figure range of security
• 24:18
  systems. And then like when push comes to
• 24:23
  shove, like, oh, this wasn't built for worst case scenario.
• 24:25
  What? Motherfucker, that's the whole
• 24:27
  point, yes. And like Ethan Hawke really does
• 24:30
  like he's almost kind of like Gordon Gecko esque.
• 24:34
  Like he's like greed is in baby. Like he's he's like, remember
• 24:38
  when we couldn't afford rent? But now we're going to get a
• 24:40
  boat, but we're not going to get a boat with a car garage on it,
• 24:43
  because that's just like, absurd.
• 24:45
  It was just like, Oh my God, it has like a garage.
• 24:48
  Are we doing this? Are we going to do this one?
• 24:50
  We're going to do, Oh my God, we're going to do this, Charlie.
• 24:57
  Charlie needs a place to park. Tim, I was going to say, Timmy's
• 24:59
  got a place to go. So yeah, I think that this
• 25:04
  movie, it explores a lot of stuff.
• 25:06
  And also like that whole, like even the rich want to be richer.
• 25:10
  So like in this nice fucking neighborhood.
• 25:12
  And they all willingly bought those security systems.
• 25:15
  Yeah, I know. They're so and they're.
• 25:18
  Yeah. And they're like.
• 25:18
  What do you expect then? Yeah, I do think the the size of
• 25:22
  their house is absurd for four people.
• 25:25
  And once again I need to bring up the point that people that
• 25:29
  rich should have a fucking panic room 0.
• 25:32
  You're right, they don't. Especially if you know your
• 25:35
  security system is garbage. Yeah, that's true.
• 25:38
  But not it's not supposed to happen in their neighborhood.
• 25:42
  They're not supposed to panic. OK, but yeah, I I think it's I
• 25:47
  think it's really solid maybe. OK, cool.
• 25:49
  What's your bad? So I think one of the things
• 25:53
  that kind of kills the momentum for me in this movie is there's
• 25:56
  just a lot of wandering around in the darkness.
• 25:59
  And that probably takes up like, I'd say maybe 1/3 of.
• 26:03
  This. Movie and it just kind of takes
• 26:06
  things and just like slows it down to a fucking halt and it
• 26:11
  kills the momentum like we get some interesting things and then
• 26:14
  it's like OK, now we're going to go like look for people and then
• 26:17
  like their house is too fucking big and it's like super dark
• 26:19
  because they cut the power and it's just OK, this is what we're
• 26:23
  doing. We're just going to walk around
• 26:24
  the house like we're actually showing all this shit.
• 26:27
  Nothing interesting happening. It doesn't become interesting
• 26:30
  until the people finally break in and then you have a house
• 26:34
  full of all of these people just like roaming around trying to
• 26:37
  kill you and stuff like that and then like that's when it opens
• 26:40
  up with that. But like all the things building
• 26:42
  up to it, it just kind of kills everything.
• 26:45
  And another thing I had is like I don't really think that the
• 26:50
  characters were super interesting like nobody really
• 26:52
  stood out to me like none of the family members are that great.
• 26:57
  Maybe like the main, the gentle perjurer is he's probably the
• 27:01
  most engaging character. He's super fucking charismatic.
• 27:04
  He is. And he's like, really creepy.
• 27:06
  He's got that like, weird smile, but like, that's about it.
• 27:10
  Like, you know, like, I don't really think any of the family
• 27:13
  members really stand out too much.
• 27:16
  So yeah, that's pretty much my bad.
• 27:18
  Yeah, no, I I tend to agree with you.
• 27:21
  My bad is that it's a lot of like footage of people creeping
• 27:24
  down the halls and it could be spent building up a little bit
• 27:30
  more of that characterization. Like we see near the end.
• 27:32
  Like Mary doesn't actually really seem to support the Purge
• 27:36
  or her husband's new line of work or anything.
• 27:38
  Like I wish like maybe we could have gotten some of that a
• 27:42
  little bit earlier on in the movie other than her just like
• 27:45
  having a tight lipped smile, like, you know what I mean?
• 27:48
  Like I wish we had more of that. I wish I knew how fucking old
• 27:51
  Zoe was because to me she looks like maybe she's 17 and I'm
• 27:55
  like, if she's 17, what's the problem of Hank's 18?
• 27:57
  You know what I mean? Like.
• 27:59
  Yeah, it's I that's, that's a good question.
• 28:01
  So like, how if she's 15, yes, I understand the dad's hesitance.
• 28:05
  Yeah. So like we at that age, like you
• 28:08
  need that specification of how old one of them is.
• 28:12
  That's a big plot point here. Yeah, yeah, I, I agree.
• 28:16
  And I, I, you know, we say this all the time on the show.
• 28:19
  Take the time you need to tell the story you want to tell.
• 28:22
  And I don't think the story you want to tell is dark shots of a
• 28:25
  large hallway. Yeah, it's just not really
• 28:29
  interesting to watch the whole time.
• 28:31
  Like and it doesn't hold the tension.
• 28:33
  No, it doesn't, Because, you know, nobody's there.
• 28:36
  And you know, I, I don't think watching this movie, you never
• 28:40
  really get the impression that the guy that comes inside the
• 28:42
  house is like a real threat. Like, he just know that he's
• 28:45
  just trying to hide. So like when they're wandering
• 28:48
  the hall was, I'm not worried that he's going to, like,
• 28:50
  stumble upon this guy and oh, shit, there's going to be a
• 28:52
  death. Like, it's just like, oh, we're
• 28:54
  just trying to find the family and oh, no, it's always running
• 28:56
  away again. It's like our cats, Yeah.
• 28:59
  Like. I'm trying to like get them or
• 29:01
  like, hey, we're like, can I brush your teeth?
• 29:03
  Like, Oh no. And they like run through the
• 29:04
  house. Like it's just us walking
• 29:05
  through the house trying to find.
• 29:06
  Honestly, though, I think Zoe was so confused while we were
• 29:10
  watching this movie because the amount of times would be like,
• 29:11
  where's Zoe? Zoe come back like and she like
• 29:14
  kept walking into the living room being like, I'm here like I
• 29:17
  don't what do you guys? And at one point like she came
• 29:19
  and sat on my lap. She's like, I'm here.
• 29:20
  And they kept saying Zoe and she's like, what do you want?
• 29:26
  What's your ugly? My ugly was the whole thing with
• 29:29
  James selling the shitty security system to people
• 29:32
  knowing that it doesn't work. Like I get it, I get it.
• 29:36
  Like yeah, the like idea of even having in the 1st place as a
• 29:40
  deterrent, but like he's it's built up and they advertise it
• 29:45
  as like state-of-the-art. Like you will not have to worry
• 29:47
  about anything with this shit right here and it just sucks.
• 29:50
  And like when the family, like when he they're asking if it's
• 29:54
  possible for them to get in, he lists like four or five ways
• 29:57
  that they can get in without thinking about.
• 29:59
  It I like that his first idea was they can Burrow underground.
• 30:03
  Like are they going to get a fucking drill and just like go
• 30:06
  underneath the in? The end It's nothing so
• 30:09
  complicated. Their provisions are a pickup
• 30:11
  truck and some chains. They don't even like, I don't
• 30:14
  even know if they bust out the windows is all they do.
• 30:17
  They bust out the windows. Yeah, they pull the bars off the
• 30:19
  windows and then bust in and then.
• 30:21
  They go in and lock the door. That's all it took.
• 30:24
  Yeah. Yeah, it's insane.
• 30:26
  My ugly is the way they treat the the stranger, the bloody
• 30:31
  man, which is. This ends up becoming the heart
• 30:35
  of the series that like people being lesser than because
• 30:39
  they're poor or unhoused or, you know, anything like.
• 30:43
  That by by they. Who are you talking about?
• 30:46
  The Perjures. OK, Yeah.
• 30:48
  It's just upsetting and it's upsetting the way they keep
• 30:54
  referring to him as the filthy homeless swine.
• 30:57
  And wow, spoiler for when I do the reviews later.
• 31:01
  But when I was trying, 'cause I know that you and I both really
• 31:03
  like this movie. So I was trying to find a more
• 31:05
  like negative take on it, see why people didn't like it.
• 31:08
  I had to scroll through a lot of comments that were derogatory
• 31:13
  about that man. And I'm like, I feel like you
• 31:15
  missed the point of the movie. Not in that you just didn't like
• 31:18
  the way they chose to convey the message, but you disagree with
• 31:21
  the message. What?
• 31:23
  Were they saying Oh well this whole movie wouldn't have
• 31:25
  happened if it wasn't for that stupid little boy and that a
• 31:28
  dumb homeless man or like. Jesus.
• 31:31
  Yeah, like, and they just keep calling him.
• 31:33
  Like there were several reviews that referred to him as the
• 31:36
  homeless pig. And I'm like.
• 31:37
  Homeless pig what? The fuck?
• 31:39
  Like, I get that that's the language used in the movie, but
• 31:41
  you're not supposed to identify with those guys like they're the
• 31:45
  bad guys. So yeah, the fact that that's
• 31:51
  happening and the fact that in real life people aren't getting
• 31:54
  that that's a bad thing. It's a very ugly reflection of
• 31:57
  some parts of our society. James Samanco's like, what have
• 32:00
  I done? He's like, Oh dear God.
• 32:03
  I wonder if he breathed a sigh of relief when we got past March
• 32:06
  22nd, 2022 and he was like Oh my God.
• 32:09
  He didn't actually do it. Especially considering who our
• 32:13
  previous administration was. Yeah, for sure.
• 32:16
  He's like, I didn't write this movie thinking that someday we
• 32:19
  would ever have that for a president.
• 32:21
  Yeah. OK, absurd.
• 32:25
  OK, so for absurd, I my first thing is gentle perjure his.
• 32:32
  It's funny that he approaches the house wearing a mask and
• 32:34
  then he takes the mask off and it's like the same face.
• 32:37
  I know. It looks exactly the same and
• 32:40
  it's just so weird man because they are all wearing that.
• 32:43
  Like did they model it after his face or something?
• 32:46
  I remember you and I went to like a hobby shop at one point
• 32:51
  shortly after this movie came out and we found masks like
• 32:53
  that. And they were actually, they
• 32:54
  were just clear masks with like exaggerated like.
• 32:58
  Make up over top, yeah. I don't know if that's what
• 33:00
  these are though. I think they were kind of like
• 33:03
  that. I think they were kind of meant
• 33:04
  to be like a little uncanny valley.
• 33:06
  Yeah, I think it's a little bit like.
• 33:08
  That, yeah. And the other thing is the like
• 33:12
  cool Timmy, he is the fucking doll from Toy Story.
• 33:17
  Yes, the whole time I keep thinking Charlie is Sid if he
• 33:21
  was rich. Yeah, exactly.
• 33:23
  Like, like he was talking like 1010 years ago, we were barely
• 33:27
  able to afford rent. Now we're just looking for a
• 33:29
  boat. Maybe that was them ten years
• 33:31
  ago. That's the boy.
• 33:32
  It's like it's got sentimental value to him, so he's kept it
• 33:36
  and he turned it into a fucking tank.
• 33:38
  So that's it, That's my absurd stuff.
• 33:40
  What about you? My absurd is that Timmy is such
• 33:42
  a huge fucking plot point yet there are multiple stories in
• 33:45
  this house. How is he capturing all of the
• 33:47
  action staying on one floor? I didn't even think about that.
• 33:51
  Yeah, I want, I want the deleted scene where Timmy just like
• 33:54
  tumbles down those spiral stairs.
• 33:56
  That'd be hilarious. I would love that.
• 34:01
  OK. We ready to rate it.
• 34:04
  I think we are. OK.
• 34:06
  I think I'd given this like A7. Yeah, it's pretty fun.
• 34:10
  I like it. I think 7, two.
• 34:12
  And I'm going to admit that part of this is like me thinking
• 34:15
  about what the sequels are. And me too.
• 34:17
  Yeah. More and well, also like
• 34:19
  watching it and I'm like, damn, there's a lot of nothing
• 34:22
  happening. Like I like a lot of things that
• 34:24
  happen. Like when they do happen, it
• 34:25
  becomes a really interesting movie, but it gets weighed down
• 34:28
  so much by just all of this nothing.
• 34:31
  It's never good when I looked down at my notes and realized I
• 34:33
  haven't written anything in like 5 minutes.
• 34:35
  Yeah, it's insane. Yeah.
• 34:37
  And I didn't miss anything, yeah.
• 34:38
  Exactly. Yeah.
• 34:39
  So we. Started having average of
• 34:40
  Shivan. Shivan All right, all right.
• 34:42
  So ready to go. We are ready to go.
• 34:45
  OK, we start off with a little little, not title card, but a
• 34:51
  little informational screen that says America 2022.
• 34:55
  Unemployment is at 1%. Crime is at an all time low.
• 34:59
  Violence barely exists with one exception.
• 35:02
  This This sounds like the promise that Charlie and Dennis
• 35:06
  were making when they were right.
• 35:08
  They'll be lower, son. 2022 unemployment at 1%.
• 35:12
  Son crime all the time. Low violence barely exists.
• 35:16
  So then we have some footage of St. violence, just like all
• 35:21
  across the country. Yeah, it's you can see the time
• 35:24
  code. It's like all of the years like
• 35:25
  so previous years purges like happening and it's like
• 35:29
  different places. I like how they went for like,
• 35:32
  not like, oh, this is LA, this is New York.
• 35:34
  They went with like tiny towns in like rural areas.
• 35:38
  Like we get Tennessee, Rhode Island, you know, shit like
• 35:41
  that. It was kind of cool to see.
• 35:42
  I wonder if this is like if they use real footage or if they
• 35:47
  actually like recorded this stuff for the movie.
• 35:50
  I would expect you to know since you're like watching those types
• 35:54
  of videos. Well, they all look like things
• 35:56
  that I've seen before. They all look real, so I don't
• 35:58
  know. And I know that like movies like
• 36:01
  Dawn of the Dead have used real shit like that before too, so it
• 36:05
  could be. So then we cut to Mr. Sanden
• 36:08
  James. He is making a big sale.
• 36:10
  And when he finishes up, he calls a member of his team, I
• 36:13
  don't know if it's his assistant or what.
• 36:15
  And she's like, congratulations, Mr. Sanden.
• 36:17
  He goes, no, this is a team victory.
• 36:19
  Very condescendingly. I would hate working for this
• 36:22
  because, you know, he says stuff like that.
• 36:25
  But then his employee appreciation is like to Papa
• 36:27
  John's pizzas. I work with a bunch of salesman,
• 36:30
  it's the same shit and they all have that fucking oh we did this
• 36:33
  together, did we? So and you know that they're not
• 36:40
  all getting compensated this. Exactly.
• 36:42
  Yeah, it's it's bullshit. Fuck off.
• 36:45
  The radio is playing and it's discussing, you know, asking
• 36:48
  everybody what's your purge plan?
• 36:51
  And then reminding everybody to display their blue Batista.
• 36:55
  Yes, I almost said Batista. That's what I was thinking too.
• 36:58
  Put your like little tiny blue Batista figurines out front.
• 37:01
  That way you know. I would feel very safe if I have
• 37:04
  Batista with me during the purge.
• 37:06
  If we were doing the Purge and they said that, I would like
• 37:08
  actually buy like a little like Batista wrestling figure and
• 37:11
  just like paint it blue and just put it out front.
• 37:14
  Well, now I have a new craft idea.
• 37:16
  We can do that. We should start doing that in
• 37:18
  July. Like we'll put our little
• 37:20
  Batistas out front. Yeah.
• 37:22
  OK, well, this one was actually in March though.
• 37:26
  I noticed that that was kind of weird, I thought.
• 37:28
  But I think that kind of shifted eventually.
• 37:32
  So, yeah, as he's driving along, he stops one of his neighbors
• 37:35
  who's just trying to have a nice walk in fresh air before the
• 37:39
  terror of the next 12 hours. It was you do that security
• 37:42
  check like I told you to. I've got the same system, only
• 37:46
  the best. And like, you can see that this
• 37:48
  guy wants to fucking punch him. Yeah, yeah.
• 37:51
  He's like, yeah, get the fuck out of here, James.
• 37:53
  He's just like, I'm just trying to walk my dog right now.
• 37:55
  Yeah, man, Can you imagine being a dog during the purge?
• 38:00
  Not allowed to go outside I. Didn't even think.
• 38:03
  About it, hearing all of the sounds.
• 38:04
  What do you do You have to like, yeah, bring in turf.
• 38:07
  Yeah, I was gonna say, you get like a little square of
• 38:09
  Astroturf. That's what you gotta do.
• 38:11
  I don't even know if that would work for.
• 38:13
  Yeah, I feel like Talia would be like, what the fuck are you
• 38:16
  doing with? This what is this shit?
• 38:17
  She's. Like, I have real grass right
• 38:21
  there. So it's 62 minutes until the
• 38:25
  annual period commences. Mary is cooking in the kitchen.
• 38:29
  I'm surprised she cooks herself. I'm surprised they don't have
• 38:33
  like. They seem like that type of
• 38:34
  like, I feel like that would have really painted the picture
• 38:37
  if they like actually had somebody there.
• 38:39
  But I also wonder if maybe he's like offered and this would be
• 38:43
  like a nice way to kind of drop that in there.
• 38:46
  He'd be like, are you like, you know, I love your cooking, but
• 38:50
  you know, why don't we take this off your plate?
• 38:52
  We can definitely afford some assistance.
• 38:54
  And then her be like, Oh well, no, I like being able to do this
• 38:57
  type of thing myself. Like I think that that would
• 38:59
  have been a good use of some of the screen time.
• 39:01
  That's true. That would have been yeah.
• 39:03
  Instead he shows up and she's like, oh, it's always sulking
• 39:07
  again. She's upset about Henry and he
• 39:09
  goes, well, he's 18 and he's not getting any younger.
• 39:12
  OK, He's like, but I have good news for dinner.
• 39:15
  Yeah, she's like, well, you might want to go check on her,
• 39:17
  so. Oh, Zoe and Henry are making out
• 39:21
  and Hank is gross. He doesn't want to say I love
• 39:24
  you. He's like, let's growl at each
• 39:25
  other. This kind of cringy bullshit.
• 39:28
  You just called him Hank. This is a nickname for Henry.
• 39:30
  I don't know. Yeah, I feel like, yeah, I feel
• 39:33
  like he's a scummy Hank. I did.
• 39:35
  This is really cringy. He's like, oh man, it's who
• 39:38
  played out. Everybody says I love you.
• 39:40
  Let's growl at each. Other this is so I know you
• 39:44
  don't watch the show you that I feel like some of our listeners
• 39:47
  do and this gives me very love vibes in season 2 where she's
• 39:52
  like, I don't want to say love because that's my name and it's
• 39:54
  weird, let's say. I wolf you.
• 39:57
  I. Wolf you.
• 39:58
  Yes. Oh, God, yes.
• 39:59
  It's as bad. And the scene goes entirely too
• 40:01
  long, much like this scene. Yeah, like, oh, God, can we
• 40:04
  please not. I hate this.
• 40:06
  Yeah, it it makes this stuff right here makes me cringe.
• 40:08
  But you know what, I think it's very true.
• 40:10
  Is there? That's exactly what you can just
• 40:12
  say like this right here. Probably like really wet 18 year
• 40:16
  old and 15 year old would maybe do that.
• 40:19
  We don't really know her age. Yeah, we don't know her age, but
• 40:22
  yeah, the whole thing is just very cringe.
• 40:25
  Blunder years cruise type stuff. Yeah, exactly.
• 40:29
  So. She hears her dad and she's like
• 40:31
  you need to leave so he sneaks out from her fucking balcony.
• 40:35
  She has a God damn balcony. This room looks like the Tyra
• 40:39
  suite in cycle 21 of the NTM. I don't know what that looks
• 40:44
  like, but if it looks like this, it's glamorous as hell.
• 40:47
  Yeah, and as he's climbing out, they see one of the neighbors
• 40:50
  just casually sharpening a machete in the yard.
• 40:53
  I get it, You want to be like armed just in case.
• 40:56
  It doesn't necessarily mean he's going out to go hunt, but he's
• 40:59
  getting his machete. Right.
• 41:00
  Yeah, maybe he doesn't believe the hype of the security
• 41:03
  systems. Or maybe he didn't die the
• 41:05
  upgraded system. Yeah, I got my security system.
• 41:08
  Right here. So Grace, one of their neighbors
• 41:13
  sees Mary outside and brings her some cookies, compliments the
• 41:17
  new addition on the House. And she's like, you know, some
• 41:19
  people in the neighborhood say, we paid for that addition.
• 41:22
  And Mary's like, wait, what? She goes like, you're too
• 41:24
  sensitive. No, Grace, you're being a secret
• 41:28
  bitch and you know it. Yeah, yeah, definitely.
• 41:30
  Because like, that does make you feel uneasy, but like, it's kind
• 41:33
  of true, like. Like it's not inaccurate, but
• 41:37
  also like you're saying the quiet part out loud and trying
• 41:40
  to act like you're not trying to imply.
• 41:43
  Something. Yeah, like, come on.
• 41:45
  Like, we all know what you mean. You're correct.
• 41:47
  Like either be friends or don't. But this fake nice bullshit,
• 41:50
  like, no, we don't need this. And Mary asked if she's having
• 41:53
  her annual party. She goes, no, we're just going
• 41:56
  to. We're just going to hang out
• 41:57
  this time, watch the news, try and relax as best we can.
• 42:00
  Yeah. So inside Charlie has his remote
• 42:05
  Timmy and he's like hiding in a secret space inside his closet.
• 42:09
  This house is so big the rooms have extra rooms between.
• 42:13
  We'll try all these guys. Tiny door, yeah.
• 42:17
  Yeah, we'll get you a tiny door someday, Travis.
• 42:20
  Wow, that's my dream. That's your dream?
• 42:24
  Yeah. So he's got, like a little Toy
• 42:25
  Story robot. You know, the little baby doll
• 42:28
  with like the spider legs, except this time it's a tank.
• 42:30
  So the mom sees it and she's like, Oh my God, I fucking hate
• 42:34
  that thing. She's like come down, help me
• 42:36
  set up for dinner. I love this tiny little bit of
• 42:40
  set decoration. It's such a nice touch.
• 42:42
  But there are like 4 bottles of ketchup in the fridge and that
• 42:46
  feels so true for people that like ketchup.
• 42:49
  Like their family will be like, do we have enough ketchup?
• 42:50
  Let's just buy some more ketchup.
• 42:51
  No, this is one of the things I actually paid attention to.
• 42:54
  I was like, all right, the Heinz bottle, the Heinz ketchup, we're
• 42:58
  seeing it. It's front and center.
• 42:59
  All of the other ones are turned backwards.
• 43:01
  So I'm like, oh, they definitely paid for that right there.
• 43:04
  They wanted to have that advertised.
• 43:06
  So I glowed that shit with ketchup, please.
• 43:08
  I do still believe it because very few, like we're not really
• 43:12
  ketchup eaters in our house. Yeah, I think you would, but you
• 43:16
  just don't bother to buy it for just just.
• 43:17
  For me now it doesn't make any. Sense I don't like ketchup, but
• 43:22
  I've been in houses where there are ketchup eaters and there's
• 43:25
  never just one bottle of ketchup.
• 43:28
  Never. It's.
• 43:28
  Because whenever it starts to do like the little when you're like
• 43:33
  and it's like starts shooting like weird juices, like no, not
• 43:36
  going to use this one anymore. Always one person in the family.
• 43:39
  It's like the bottles not empty. We're not throwing it out till
• 43:42
  it's empty all. Right, just fart it.
• 43:44
  Fart it out. Okay, so yeah, Tim or Charlie
• 43:51
  comes down there and he's like, look mom, I like did all these
• 43:53
  upgrades on Timmy. He now has like night vision.
• 43:57
  And he plays that creepy song from Evil Dead.
• 44:01
  And he, he's silent now. So these are all things that are
• 44:04
  going to be really important to the part of the movie.
• 44:06
  Mom, it's OK. They have dinner, not one carb.
• 44:11
  Can you believe it? I don't.
• 44:13
  I don't, I don't believe that one bit.
• 44:15
  You. Can't have zero carbs.
• 44:16
  You can't. That's like, impossible.
• 44:18
  Yeah, I wanted to see what they were eating.
• 44:20
  They only show them like pulling their forks up.
• 44:22
  We don't see what's on. Their See, that was one of the
• 44:24
  things a long time ago. I went for the no carb diet.
• 44:26
  Like you just kind of have to go for the minimum.
• 44:28
  Yeah, you can't. You can't escape.
• 44:30
  Low carb, not no carb. Exactly.
• 44:34
  So he's like James is asking how everybody's day went.
• 44:37
  Nobody really wants to do it but like I think they all can tell
• 44:40
  it's for him to. Like he wants to ask him so he
• 44:42
  could share his. Big news.
• 44:44
  Yeah. I like to imagine that he
• 44:45
  doesn't ask unless he's got something.
• 44:47
  Yeah, like, what do you want to say, Dad?
• 44:50
  Charlie's like, hold on, I need to get my vitals, really just to
• 44:54
  show us that he's got like this smart watch, which fucking
• 44:57
  everybody's got one of the Were they as big in 20?
• 45:01
  13, No, I don't think so. Yeah, I think it was like brand
• 45:03
  new technology back. Then yeah, I guess if this was
• 45:05
  made now like, nobody would think twice about like.
• 45:08
  Yeah, 2013, we were still rocking like that early dawn of
• 45:12
  smartphones. So yeah, smartwatches, I don't
• 45:16
  think we're quite there yet. OK, but yeah, Charlie, it has to
• 45:21
  jot down his vitals in his little pocketbook.
• 45:24
  Zoe doesn't want to talk, but when she sees her parents are
• 45:28
  doing their stern face and she's like, fine, I had a geometry
• 45:30
  test. Yeah.
• 45:34
  And then James is like, all right, time for my big news.
• 45:37
  My division is the best. It really is a team effort.
• 45:42
  He condescends even to his family.
• 45:43
  I know I couldn't have done it without you.
• 45:46
  Yeah, it's especially you, Charlie.
• 45:48
  And Charlie's like, I wrote a story about a man who kills with
• 45:51
  his love, so he cuts out his heart.
• 45:54
  And so he says, shouldn't he cut off his penis?
• 45:56
  And this is like the most normal family moment where the parents
• 45:59
  are like, we're not like, I think Mary wanted to laugh out
• 46:03
  of it. She's like, it's not appropriate
• 46:04
  for me to laugh at that. And she's like, Zoe, could you
• 46:06
  not? And then Zoe and Charlie, they
• 46:08
  fist off and have a sibling. Moment.
• 46:10
  I can't remember what James says, but he says something
• 46:12
  there that like made me laugh a little bit too.
• 46:16
  You know, it creates a word or something.
• 46:18
  OK, so now, like they it's gotten later than they expected.
• 46:22
  It's time for a lockdown. So they all gather around the TV
• 46:25
  and they turn it on. He sets the alarm.
• 46:28
  I like that the TV is the security footage of their
• 46:30
  neighbors. I know.
• 46:32
  Yeah. Like keeping an eye on those
• 46:33
  guys. And they see everybody going to
• 46:34
  Grace's house for the party. And Mary's, like she said they
• 46:38
  weren't having a party. That feeling sucks.
• 46:41
  Yeah. And James was like, she's
• 46:43
  annoying. Anyway, we don't want to go to
• 46:44
  that party. And I think Mary's like I
• 46:46
  wanted. Fucker, I sold her the shitty.
• 46:48
  The shitty. Security system.
• 46:50
  Mark that show up so the message place is now time for people to
• 46:56
  purge and that horn blares and that.
• 46:58
  Wax and siren. Wax and siren disgust, Yeah.
• 47:01
  Jesse figured that one out on the two, so yeah, it's time to
• 47:05
  purge y'all. And then Zoe being a Moody
• 47:08
  teenager is like, I'm going to go be miserable in my room by
• 47:10
  myself. And then Charlie's like, I don't
• 47:13
  want to be excited about this. Would you guys purge if you felt
• 47:16
  the need? And they're like, no, but just
• 47:18
  like just you don't remember how bad it was back then.
• 47:21
  Except like James, like, yeah, we would if we ever felt so
• 47:24
  inclined, but we don't really feel so inclined.
• 47:27
  So no, we're not going to right this moment.
• 47:29
  Yeah, and then you think that maybe James and Mary are going
• 47:31
  to have some time together, but he's like, I need to fill out
• 47:35
  the paperwork to collect my bonus bonus.
• 47:38
  So go do your thing, Mary. Do you think?
• 47:43
  So Henry is actually in Zoe's room.
• 47:46
  He came to see her father. He's like, he can't kick me out
• 47:49
  so we can finally talk man to man.
• 47:51
  And she's like, I don't think this is a good idea, 'cause he
• 47:54
  hates you and he's just going to make things harder for us to be
• 47:57
  able to sneak around and see each other.
• 47:58
  And he's so stupid. It's like, yeah, but it's cool
• 48:01
  'cause I'm going to tell him like, you're really mature of
• 48:04
  your age and I love you and like he's totally going to be cool
• 48:08
  with everything whenever I say that.
• 48:09
  Yeah, it's fucking groomer language.
• 48:11
  It really is. I hate that.
• 48:12
  Like, oh, you're really mature for your age.
• 48:14
  No, man. You're not even mature.
• 48:16
  For your age, man, Yeah, come on.
• 48:20
  So the news is speculating. The news is talking about how
• 48:25
  some people think that the purge is actually really an
• 48:27
  eradication of the poor. So there's some of that
• 48:31
  discourse happening in the background.
• 48:33
  Yeah. They're like, whoa.
• 48:34
  I mean, like, the economy, economy, economy is booming.
• 48:37
  Crime's down. But like, people are saying it
• 48:40
  might actually be because we're just, like, getting rid of,
• 48:43
  like, the poor people and not having to, like, you know, take
• 48:46
  care of them. So it's yeah.
• 48:49
  Yeah, Mary gets on her little treadmill.
• 48:53
  Charlie is piloting Timmy. She hears some gunshots nearby
• 48:58
  and tells James because she's concerned and because it's it's
• 49:02
  too close. They're in a nice neighborhood.
• 49:04
  They shouldn't be hearing gunshots.
• 49:05
  And he's like, it's probably people going to go hunt and
• 49:07
  they're just, you know, setting off a couple of warm up shots.
• 49:12
  Charlie's riding his little Timmy around and it happens to
• 49:17
  look up at the security feed and he sees a man just running down
• 49:22
  the street. So he starts to freak out, wants
• 49:25
  to go check and see what that guy is up to.
• 49:27
  He's out there just screaming for help.
• 49:29
  He's being chased. Yeah, he says.
• 49:31
  He's being chased. I guess the person he was with
• 49:33
  before got killed. And he's like, I don't want to
• 49:35
  kill, I don't want to hurt anybody.
• 49:37
  I just need somewhere safe to be.
• 49:38
  And Charlie ends up opening the door for him and the rest of the
• 49:42
  family 'cause they're having their own, like, dramatic
• 49:44
  moments, and they see the system lifting and they freak out.
• 49:48
  James goes to close it back up, and Charlie manages to get the
• 49:52
  man inside the house before that happens.
• 49:54
  So as they're kind of like freaking out trying to figure
• 49:57
  this out, Oh, oh, Hank gonna walk down the stairs and be like
• 50:00
  Mr. Sanden, I think this is the perfect time for you and I to
• 50:03
  talk. And by talk I mean blah blah.
• 50:06
  Yeah, what happened to Talking Man?
• 50:08
  What about like, I love your daughter.
• 50:09
  She's super mature. Because his.
• 50:11
  His he's 18 and his brain isn't developed and he's not super
• 50:15
  mature for his age. That's true, yeah.
• 50:16
  So yeah. They like, I love that every
• 50:19
  single one of these movies gives us like petty ass reasons that
• 50:22
  people want to kill somebody. Yeah, I get it.
• 50:25
  It's kind of interesting though, because it kind of like it
• 50:27
  grounds it would happen. Yeah, like that's the thing with
• 50:30
  the Purge, like somebody is just like a little annoyed with
• 50:32
  somebody and they get in the right kind of froggy mindset on
• 50:36
  Purge night and. That's how it would be, how it
• 50:40
  would be. So yeah, they like, they have
• 50:42
  like a little shootout. Yeah, James hits Henry, but at
• 50:47
  first he's not sure. He's like, oh God, I didn't
• 50:49
  shoot Zoe, did I? And I'm like, that's not great
• 50:53
  that you were just shooting and. He's got to, he's got to return
• 50:57
  fire. What's he gonna do?
• 50:58
  Like, just like allow him to like, shoot at him.
• 51:01
  See, I don't know. I don't know this guy's history.
• 51:03
  He's got a lot of guns and he seems to know how to use them.
• 51:08
  So like, I think he's knows what he's doing here.
• 51:10
  But I wonder how well Hank is at shooting.
• 51:13
  Like, here's the thing. Because a lot of people, they're
• 51:16
  like, Oh well, I like to carry a gun for protection.
• 51:18
  And I don't think they really realize, like, how much practice
• 51:22
  they would need to be to actually be an effective shooter
• 51:25
  in a situation because it's not even just like the aiming and
• 51:29
  being used to the weapon, But it's always like, the adrenaline
• 51:31
  and everything that's going on and taking into account your
• 51:34
  surroundings, taking into account, you know, casual
• 51:37
  bystanders. Like, there's a lot that goes
• 51:41
  into that. To the point that James isn't
• 51:45
  sure if he shot his own daughter.
• 51:46
  Yeah, that exchange that's. True, but it was like such
• 51:49
  chaos. Yeah, he had to like, blast him.
• 51:51
  He ended up shooting him. James did not get hit though.
• 51:54
  Yes, so. James Henry retreats back to
• 51:58
  Zoe's. Room.
• 51:58
  Yeah, well, Zoe carries him. Yeah, and he just kind of weighs
• 52:02
  on the ground and dies. Yeah, James is like looking for
• 52:06
  Zoe, goes to her room, see see is a dead Hank, but no Zoe.
• 52:12
  Zoe has decided to go find Mary, and they're talking, but Charlie
• 52:17
  is like calling her to come look at the camera.
• 52:20
  And Zoe is just like, just tell dad I'm sorry.
• 52:22
  I think she is like kind of fucking traumatized because she
• 52:26
  just watched her boyfriend die after trying to murder her
• 52:29
  father. So she's dealing with a lot of
• 52:31
  guilt, a lot of grief. And I'm sure there's also like,
• 52:34
  an element of like, oh, God, he was right about this loser.
• 52:37
  Like, yeah. But also, I loved that loser.
• 52:39
  He's dead. Yeah.
• 52:40
  Like, there's a lot. There's got to be a lot of
• 52:43
  emotions going on for her. And she's just like, just tell
• 52:45
  dad I'm sorry. And then she runs away.
• 52:46
  Oh. Man, and what a.
• 52:49
  This family is just falling apart.
• 52:51
  Can you imagine if his like dying breath was like him
• 52:54
  growling at her? I mean, it might have been.
• 52:58
  Yeah, she's just like standing over him.
• 53:04
  That'd be a weird way to die. So James, Mary and Charlie are
• 53:07
  watching security footage of a group arriving to the house, and
• 53:13
  one of them steps forward and says that they can tell that
• 53:16
  they're good people because they are the haves and they've got
• 53:19
  the blue Bautistas out front. That suggests that they support
• 53:23
  the purge. Before then even it's really
• 53:24
  creepy because like before they start watching that footage and
• 53:27
  call James in there and James hears a knock at the door and he
• 53:31
  goes over there to check it and they already know his name.
• 53:33
  Like Mr. Sand, can we come in like something like that?
• 53:37
  Let's. Do Sandin.
• 53:38
  Sandin, whatever. Either way, that's fucking
• 53:40
  creepy that they already know his name and he just kind of
• 53:43
  like slowly backs away. Yeah, apparently the neighbors
• 53:46
  told them who they are and that they took the man in.
• 53:50
  So he he says that they've got until provisions arrive to
• 53:57
  return the man. So that way they may purge him.
• 53:59
  Otherwise they will purge both them.
• 54:01
  They will break in, purge both the man and the rest of the
• 54:04
  family. So James, when Mary and Charlie
• 54:10
  are like, but we're safe though, right 'cause like this is the
• 54:12
  best security system. He's like, well, and they're
• 54:16
  like, what? And he's like, well, we tested
• 54:18
  it and in 99% of cases it's fine.
• 54:22
  Like it's foolproof. People are intimidated by it,
• 54:25
  but it's not made for worst case scenario, you know, such as
• 54:28
  burrowing underground, battering Rams, busting out the window.
• 54:35
  Opening the door can't handle that shit.
• 54:39
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that it's they're glamour
• 54:43
  muscles basically. Pretty much, yeah.
• 54:45
  This house is hot girl fit. Yeah, for sure.
• 54:49
  So, yeah, they. So he's like, all right, we're
• 54:52
  going to give them what they want.
• 54:54
  We're going to go find that guy and we're just going to like
• 54:56
  give him up because it's either him or us.
• 54:59
  Mary seems torn, Charlie seems disgusted so he's using Timmy to
• 55:03
  find the man and when he does he like flashes his lights at him
• 55:06
  and leads him to his hiding spot.
• 55:08
  Yeah, this guy, very courageous to trust this whole toy here if
• 55:14
  I saw that thing. At first he doesn't, but.
• 55:17
  Yeah, I I get it. But like at the same time, like
• 55:20
  Jesus, that thing is kind of freaky.
• 55:22
  And also like I, I just, I don't know if I would do it.
• 55:24
  I don't. I wouldn't follow this thing.
• 55:26
  But Mary and James are searching, and this is just one
• 55:28
  of those endless scenes of people walking up and down.
• 55:31
  The last like 5 minutes. So the leader asks James to come
• 55:36
  to the door, and James is like, listen, this is a
• 55:39
  misunderstanding. My son let him in 'cause he
• 55:41
  doesn't get the whole purge thing yet.
• 55:43
  We're trying to find him, but he's, you see the size of my
• 55:47
  house. Like, yeah, this shit's.
• 55:48
  Just looking insane this. Isn't a quick process, but we're
• 55:51
  trying really hard. And then one of the leader, like
• 55:55
  one of the group members comes up and is like, kind of erratic
• 55:58
  and the leader just shoots him without flinching.
• 56:00
  And he's like, that was my friend.
• 56:02
  You are not. Keep that in mind.
• 56:04
  Yeah. Dang.
• 56:08
  So Zoe finds Timmy and talks to Charlie through him.
• 56:12
  And she's like, listen, stay wherever you are.
• 56:14
  I'm going to go to your secret hiding spot.
• 56:16
  And Charlie goes fuck. And the problem is that James, I
• 56:21
  think, also has a similar idea to go check the secret hiding
• 56:24
  spot. And when he gets there, he finds
• 56:26
  the man holding Zoe hostage. And he's like, listen, I don't
• 56:29
  want to hurt you. I don't want to hurt your
• 56:30
  family. But I'm not letting go of her
• 56:32
  for the rest of the night because I'm not going to let
• 56:34
  them kill me. And James is like, just be a
• 56:37
  man. Like, just be a man and let them
• 56:39
  kill you. Like, get up, bro.
• 56:40
  Yeah. While all of this is happening,
• 56:43
  Mary has shown up behind the guy and is holding a gun to him and
• 56:49
  James like gives her cover away. He's like, alright, shoot him
• 56:52
  Mary. And this causes him to just like
• 56:55
  throw Zoe. Zoe into the wall.
• 56:57
  Yeah, she busts her head on something and gets knocked out.
• 57:01
  James and the man start wrestling like shots fired but
• 57:06
  ultimately the guy like he gets knocked out.
• 57:09
  Yeah, he's got a a gut wound. So they tie him up and when he
• 57:14
  comes to he starts like fighting and James is like get the letter
• 57:19
  opener and press on his wound and Mary's like.
• 57:23
  She's straight up stabbing his open wound.
• 57:25
  Oh my God. They do end up getting him like
• 57:28
  tied up to a chair. Mary and Charlie are upset about
• 57:33
  all of this. So Charlie runs off and Mary
• 57:36
  follows and Zoe comes to you. And James is like, it's going to
• 57:39
  be OK. It's going to be OK.
• 57:40
  We're going to take care of this and it'll be OK.
• 57:42
  And she's like, nothing's ever going to be OK again.
• 57:45
  Like, look what's happened tonight.
• 57:47
  Like it's not OK. And he's like, oh shit.
• 57:51
  So that's when he decides that he he finds Mary and Charlie and
• 57:56
  he's like, listen, I think I finally get it.
• 57:59
  We're not going to deliver the man.
• 58:01
  We're going to fight, but we're also not going to untie the man.
• 58:04
  The man before that, though, the man was like, all right, send me
• 58:07
  out there, save your kids. But then that's why I think that
• 58:10
  gave him a change of hearts. Like, you know what?
• 58:12
  Fuck that. Now we're going to fight.
• 58:13
  Yeah, so the group is putting chains on the barricades and
• 58:20
  they pull them down and break in.
• 58:22
  James sends Charlie to the basement with the gun.
• 58:25
  And Mary was like, you gave Charlie a gun.
• 58:29
  He needs something. He needs something other than
• 58:31
  Timmy. Yeah.
• 58:32
  Well, we see in a little bit it doesn't, OK.
• 58:34
  No, no, it doesn't. But you know, it's, it's kind of
• 58:37
  I think maybe like a mental thing.
• 58:39
  Yeah, I get it. Yeah, It's like his security
• 58:41
  system. Yeah.
• 58:42
  It's it's a flex, but it means. Nothing.
• 58:44
  Yeah, exactly. So the this is like, I think
• 58:50
  this is the fun scene of people going down the hall.
• 58:53
  And I didn't mind this moment of like, watching the killers.
• 58:56
  Like, yeah, I like different reactions.
• 58:58
  Like some of them are like looking at the photos, Some are
• 59:00
  laughing at the photos, Some are just skipping around gleefully.
• 59:03
  Some are piggyback riding. And that's this right here is
• 59:06
  more intense because we know these guys are a threat.
• 59:08
  Yeah, we know that they absolutely will kill, like in an
• 59:12
  unrestrained kind of way. And they're like acting super
• 59:15
  unhinged and just creepy, like they're skipping through the
• 59:18
  halls and shit like that. They're just having fun.
• 59:21
  Yes, exactly. They have creepy masks on too.
• 59:23
  Yes, one of them does manage to find Charlie in the basement and
• 59:27
  is about to shoot him when James pops up behind him and shoots
• 59:31
  the person. Yeah, they're trying to get
• 59:35
  upstairs, reunite with the family, and in their game room a
• 59:38
  couple comes in. So James starts fighting them.
• 59:41
  We get the classic horror trope. I don't know how this has become
• 59:44
  such a trope, but like pool ball to the head.
• 59:47
  It's effective. Yeah.
• 59:48
  You know that shit hurts. Yeah, he ends up killing both,
• 59:52
  and as he's about to walk out, the leader just machetes him.
• 59:56
  He's got like that shotgun that he has.
• 59:58
  It's fucking awesome. It's got like a, it's like a
• 1:00:01
  weed eater handle on top. So you can like get like some
• 1:00:04
  good grip on it right there. And just also like when he
• 1:00:07
  walked in that room and like that's the piggybacking couple.
• 1:00:11
  And like I said, they see him like, oh shit, they just like
• 1:00:14
  hop off and like dive to the ground.
• 1:00:16
  It's a really good set. Like, I like that they had a
• 1:00:19
  nice little fight there. So yeah, James is fogged.
• 1:00:21
  He got like a machete to the tummy.
• 1:00:23
  And then the killer just gives him a gentle little yeah on the
• 1:00:27
  forehead. The gentle perjury.
• 1:00:28
  Yeah, the gentle perjury. So the others are still like
• 1:00:32
  wrecking the house somewhere outside when the neighbors come
• 1:00:35
  up. Black.
• 1:00:36
  Black. Black.
• 1:00:38
  Yep. Yeah.
• 1:00:39
  And I It's a surprising turn of events.
• 1:00:41
  Yeah, and so they're just coming in.
• 1:00:44
  They save the whole fat. Like Mary's about to get killed
• 1:00:47
  before she gets tickled to death.
• 1:00:49
  I no, that was so funny. She like tackles her to the
• 1:00:52
  ground. She's like tickle, tickle,
• 1:00:53
  tickle. I was furious because I was
• 1:00:56
  thinking about I am incredibly ticklish and if somebody had
• 1:00:59
  broken in my house and was trying to tell me but then had
• 1:01:02
  the fucking nerve to tickle me first, I would be furious.
• 1:01:08
  This, I think, brings up a very interesting question.
• 1:01:12
  If you are pinned by a killer and one of the other killers is
• 1:01:16
  tickling you, and this is terrifying, do you think that
• 1:01:19
  you would still laugh if you're being tickled?
• 1:01:21
  Or do you think the fear and adrenaline would overcome?
• 1:01:24
  I would definitely still be ticklish and I can say this
• 1:01:28
  because I've had like moments where I've been afraid and like
• 1:01:30
  something is brushed up against me and tickled me.
• 1:01:32
  So I can absolutely say that I would.
• 1:01:34
  But I think I would be so fucking stubborn that even
• 1:01:36
  though like I might be like twitching and stuff, I would
• 1:01:38
  refuse to let that laugh. Out you got like an angry laugh.
• 1:01:41
  Yes, I like I would be at the point of like angry crying
• 1:01:45
  because I'd be so just so mad, like the insult to injury, like
• 1:01:50
  but anyway, it doesn't matter because the neighbors come and
• 1:01:52
  they shoot, shoot all the killers and Mary's like, Oh my
• 1:01:55
  God, we can't thank you enough. And grace is like, you don't
• 1:01:58
  have to actually. We saw an opportunity.
• 1:02:01
  We saw that they fucked your shit up.
• 1:02:03
  I'm like, hey, this is our chance to finally get.
• 1:02:05
  Them. Yeah.
• 1:02:06
  So we hate you. And we wanted to just kill your
• 1:02:08
  husband, but they beat us to it. So we're just.
• 1:02:10
  We're going to kill the rest of you.
• 1:02:11
  So we're going to tie you up. And like, Mary's, like,
• 1:02:14
  pleading. And presumably she's known these
• 1:02:17
  people for years. And she's like, please, my kids,
• 1:02:20
  at the very least, like, let them go or let me hug them
• 1:02:25
  before you kill us all. Like, just something.
• 1:02:27
  And she's like, begging and doing her best.
• 1:02:29
  And then, right as the group is about to sacrifice the family we
• 1:02:36
  forgot about Bloody stranger, he's still in the house.
• 1:02:40
  He just shoots a couple of them right there and holds the woman
• 1:02:48
  hostage. She was like, all right.
• 1:02:50
  He's like, Mary, it's your call. And she was like, we're not
• 1:02:53
  going to do any more killing. We are going to spend the rest
• 1:02:57
  of the night. In motherfucking piece.
• 1:03:00
  I like how she says that and then it just cuts to them all
• 1:03:03
  awkwardly sitting at the dinner table.
• 1:03:05
  And she is having some very passive aggressive conversation.
• 1:03:09
  She's like Mr. Halverson, did you enjoy Grace's party?
• 1:03:12
  And he's like, fuck yourself, she said.
• 1:03:13
  I'm sorry, what was that? No, it's a lovely time.
• 1:03:18
  Yeah, and then she's like, well, I'm glad everybody had a good
• 1:03:21
  time. And then she very pointedly
• 1:03:22
  looks over at her children sobbing over their dead father's
• 1:03:25
  corpse. And Grace takes the moment it is
• 1:03:28
  758. She's ill.
• 1:03:30
  Yeah. No, 658.
• 1:03:32
  Yeah, she makes a play for Mary's gun and the stranger,
• 1:03:38
  like, comes to restrain her and Mary gets the gun back, breaks
• 1:03:41
  Grace's nose, and she's like, what did I fucking say?
• 1:03:45
  It's like a 1/2. She takes the butt of the
• 1:03:47
  shotgun, boom right to the nose, then grabs her head and slams it
• 1:03:51
  on the table, breaking the glass.
• 1:03:53
  I remember when we were in theaters like that.
• 1:03:56
  Got a huge reaction. Yeah.
• 1:03:57
  Oh shit, yeah, that's great. And then like the siren sound
• 1:04:03
  and the purge is over with and everybody just gets up and
• 1:04:06
  awkwardly walks out the house. Yeah, and before he leaves, the
• 1:04:10
  bloody stranger just kind of looks at Mary and he's like,
• 1:04:13
  good luck. Like there's a lot.
• 1:04:17
  It's a very loaded statement because their their shit's
• 1:04:20
  fucked. Yeah, I mean, pretty much like
• 1:04:23
  it's not going to be the same. He just kind of walks out and
• 1:04:27
  that's pretty much how the movie ends, right?
• 1:04:30
  Yeah, it's March 22nd. The new Founding Fathers have
• 1:04:34
  released an early statement that it looks like the most
• 1:04:36
  successful purge yet. What does that mean?
• 1:04:38
  What is a successful purge? What parameters are you using?
• 1:04:42
  Lots of shit fucked up out there.
• 1:04:44
  It looks like things went pretty well last night.
• 1:04:47
  Yeah, I like how they did that because it's the credits playing
• 1:04:50
  and you just get these like radio broadcasts of just all of
• 1:04:53
  the aftermath that's happened. It's kind of it kind of we
• 1:04:58
  should marinate. Yeah, for a little bit, yeah.
• 1:05:00
  I I always like it when it's like a more quiet credits like
• 1:05:03
  that 'cause it's, it's chilling. Yeah, it really is.
• 1:05:06
  Yeah, and it emphasizes that we're ending this on a bleak
• 1:05:09
  note. It's not happy.
• 1:05:11
  James is dead. The country's fucked.
• 1:05:13
  Yep. Like that's.
• 1:05:14
  How it goes? Yeah, Yep.
• 1:05:16
  So yeah, that's it. I think I'll bump it to a 7.25
• 1:05:21
  because the parts that aren't just walking down the hall are
• 1:05:24
  really good. That's true.
• 1:05:25
  Those are really good parts. That's why that those parts
• 1:05:29
  enough carry it to the seven for me.
• 1:05:32
  Everything else drops it down to that seven for me.
• 1:05:35
  I'm keeping mine. OK.
• 1:05:36
  So our average is slightly up at 7.125.
• 1:05:40
  Yeah, I mean and the change, it's pretty obvious like yeah,
• 1:05:42
  don't have so much dead time and.
• 1:05:44
  Yeah, spend some of that building up the the family a
• 1:05:47
  little bit. Or like half the people break in
• 1:05:49
  a little bit earlier and like extend that.
• 1:05:51
  Like there was so many of them you didn't have to use them as
• 1:05:54
  cannon. Fodders if you want.
• 1:05:55
  If you want like scenes of people creeping down the hall to
• 1:05:58
  be tense, then you need to give a reason for it to be
• 1:06:00
  introduced. Like a threat in the house.
• 1:06:03
  Nobody bought that that dude was actually going to be.
• 1:06:06
  Maybe some people did, but I didn't like, I mean, it just it
• 1:06:08
  was very clear that that guy didn't have any like intentions
• 1:06:11
  to kill. Yeah, we just need like the
• 1:06:14
  this, but this so this. Yeah, exactly.
• 1:06:17
  Yeah. Talia, She was, I'm going to say
• 1:06:22
  she was, she was all alarmed. She was pretty alert during the
• 1:06:28
  movie. She farted during the opening
• 1:06:30
  klaxon siren. Yeah, whenever the siren
• 1:06:32
  sounded. Yeah, it was a yeah, that was a
• 1:06:35
  defense fart. Yeah, she was definitely
• 1:06:37
  nervous. Like that's our security system
• 1:06:39
  guys. She did want to go out at about
• 1:06:41
  50 minutes. That's when the people broke in.
• 1:06:43
  And I think in her head she was like, this is when I would take
• 1:06:45
  my bathroom break on Purge tonight.
• 1:06:47
  I would take the opportunity to run out.
• 1:06:52
  So I think Talia is going to give this.
• 1:06:56
  I think she's going to give it an 8.
• 1:06:57
  OK, I agree. Yeah, I think that she liked
• 1:07:00
  this. A lot, yeah.
• 1:07:00
  I think being locked up and the threat is on the other side of
• 1:07:04
  the door and we're not letting her do anything with it.
• 1:07:06
  That would be frustrating for. Me.
• 1:07:07
  Yeah, absolutely. Zoe's ultimate warrior hunter.
• 1:07:11
  What is? Who is Zoe's ultimate warrior?
• 1:07:13
  Timmy. Just kind of like sneaking
• 1:07:17
  through the house. How does it get on different
• 1:07:22
  levels of things? Same.
• 1:07:23
  Question for silent Yeah, Zoe can be pretty silent.
• 1:07:26
  So like, we are freaked out by her pretty regularly.
• 1:07:29
  She can also see in the dark. Yeah, and she's she's a black
• 1:07:32
  cat, so when the lights are out, she's invisible.
• 1:07:36
  And so you don't know she's there until you're like bumping
• 1:07:39
  into her. Yeah, so Timmy.
• 1:07:41
  Timmy OK. All right, who did you relate
• 1:07:46
  to? I guess I'd relate to like, the
• 1:07:50
  people that they're talking about on the news that are like
• 1:07:53
  protesting the purge, you know, 'cause like, this is clearly a
• 1:07:59
  thinly veiled attempt at getting rid of the the poor people.
• 1:08:03
  Yeah, as Jean Leshwar said, stupid poor people, stupid poor
• 1:08:07
  people. I have more money than you.
• 1:08:09
  Stupid poor people. Stupid poor people.
• 1:08:12
  You can't even afford food. What the fuck?
• 1:08:17
  You've heard it. Is that a song?
• 1:08:18
  Yeah, OK. He's, yeah, It's like he's a
• 1:08:21
  satirical musician. OK, I got you.
• 1:08:24
  OK. You've definitely heard the
• 1:08:26
  song. It's from Guns Don't Kill People
• 1:08:28
  I Kill. People.
• 1:08:29
  Oh, that OK? I got you.
• 1:08:30
  I got you. With guns.
• 1:08:32
  Yeah. I think that the person that I
• 1:08:36
  would relate to is, I'm going to say the person that and James
• 1:08:42
  called at the opening there, that's like, we did this as a
• 1:08:44
  team and I could fill her eyes roll.
• 1:08:48
  Yeah. Whenever he was saying that, cuz
• 1:08:50
  whenever I worked in customer service and I had to work with
• 1:08:53
  sales reps directly, we did this together.
• 1:08:56
  Buddy. I'm like fuck you.
• 1:08:57
  I didn't do shit. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:09:00
  You know that like if she's in a bullpen, she's like making a
• 1:09:02
  face at somebody, like mimicking along with.
• 1:09:04
  Him, yeah. Or like if I did help them and
• 1:09:06
  I'm like, Oh yeah, like I helped you do this.
• 1:09:08
  Like OK, I'm not getting any a percentage of this shit.
• 1:09:11
  Thanks for the double XL sweatshirt.
• 1:09:13
  You got me on your cruise. Do do.
• 1:09:15
  Thank you. Actually did that.
• 1:09:18
  I know I. Remember.
• 1:09:19
  He he brought me this like fucking hoodie.
• 1:09:21
  And it's like, yeah, I got this was on vacation as a thank you.
• 1:09:24
  I'm like it. Would be nice if it wasn't like
• 1:09:26
  5 sizes is too big. I feel like he bought it for
• 1:09:29
  himself. He's like, I can't wear this.
• 1:09:31
  And then, yeah, I'll just give it to Travis to thank him.
• 1:09:35
  Yeah, man. So yeah, that's, that's what I
• 1:09:39
  relate to. All right, So it's not a
• 1:09:44
  franchise. So we can do a dream sequel for
• 1:09:47
  this. Here's the thing, though, is my
• 1:09:48
  dream sequel would be exactly what they ended up doing.
• 1:09:51
  Yeah. Like opening up, seeing
• 1:09:53
  different, like, ways that they're like.
• 1:09:55
  I like that we get just kind of a typical purge night from like
• 1:10:00
  the common man's perspective. I like that we get the political
• 1:10:03
  element of somebody trying to end the purge.
• 1:10:05
  I like that we get the first purge, which explains why
• 1:10:08
  everybody's going towards killing instead of, you know,
• 1:10:12
  just doing drugs and partying. And stuff like how it starts
• 1:10:16
  out. Yes, yeah, I and I like that we
• 1:10:19
  get the forever purge because the question in my head was
• 1:10:21
  always like, what's stopping people from.
• 1:10:23
  Yeah. Like how can you determine if
• 1:10:26
  this death was done at like the time, like the second after the
• 1:10:30
  purge stopped or like, you know, like you could theoretically do
• 1:10:33
  it like a little bit after and probably still get away with it?
• 1:10:35
  Yeah. So like, I'm not trying to like
• 1:10:37
  do a cop out. It's just like it.
• 1:10:39
  The sequels have always addressed the things that I
• 1:10:42
  would want addressed in this universe, and there's not going
• 1:10:44
  to be a way for me to talk about what I want on a sequel without
• 1:10:47
  referencing things that have already been done.
• 1:10:49
  I guess that's fair because I mean they do just touch on so
• 1:10:52
  many different things and the other ones with the
• 1:10:53
  opportunities. Plus we get Frank Grillo and I
• 1:10:56
  don't want to. I don't want to create an AU or
• 1:10:58
  we don't have Frank Grillo. See I do like him, but the weird
• 1:11:03
  thing about the sequels is they kind of turn into quasi action
• 1:11:06
  movies at a certain point. They, like, stop becoming
• 1:11:09
  horror. Like, they're like, OK, we'll
• 1:11:10
  give them some creepy masks. Every now and then, though,
• 1:11:13
  like, at the same time, it's like Frank Guerilla is just
• 1:11:15
  going to roll in there and just like, shoot up a bunch of
• 1:11:16
  people. Like it's just going to get in
• 1:11:18
  some gunfights. Yeah, they're like, I'd say
• 1:11:20
  they're like horror action. Like they're right there in that
• 1:11:23
  like liminal space between the two.
• 1:11:25
  And then in the First Purge, like the drug dealer dude, like
• 1:11:28
  the drug kingpin, like he just like goes full blown like
• 1:11:33
  military like vigilante type shit.
• 1:11:35
  And he's just like, he's like a fucking action movie star in
• 1:11:38
  that. One, yeah.
• 1:11:39
  Same with Frank Grillo, he's a he is a like an action star in
• 1:11:42
  his moments too. So yeah, yeah, I feel like the
• 1:11:48
  next one though did a great job, like keeping it horror because
• 1:11:52
  like. A Oh God, that moment where the
• 1:11:54
  couple is like stranded. Yes, and they're being chased by
• 1:11:59
  that crew. The car dies on the bridge.
• 1:12:02
  And that's another fucked up thing too, because it it already
• 1:12:05
  starts laying that groundwork of like, OK, these people are doing
• 1:12:08
  purge preps including like maiming, like destroying
• 1:12:12
  property before the purge has started.
• 1:12:15
  Yeah, they're like, they're make like getting their targets.
• 1:12:18
  Yeah. All right, we're going to hunt
• 1:12:19
  these people. Yeah.
• 1:12:20
  So it's fucking scary, yeah. OK, so tagline.
• 1:12:26
  Tagline. Let's see.
• 1:12:36
  I don't know why but my brain wants to do like a society
• 1:12:39
  crossover. So it's like, first we dine,
• 1:12:42
  then we copulate, then we purge. Kind of like that.
• 1:12:47
  Yeah, it. Like it?
• 1:12:49
  Kind. Of similar themes though, no.
• 1:12:51
  Sure, like when I was thinking in my head, I was like, I I for
• 1:12:54
  some reason I associate the suicide like that suicide.
• 1:12:59
  Yeah, I like I kind of that gets tied in with this movie for me
• 1:13:04
  somehow. So yeah, sure, like I like that.
• 1:13:07
  Whatever, man. Like we need that.
• 1:13:09
  We need dream sequel there society purge crossover.
• 1:13:13
  Yes. Because I feel like they would
• 1:13:16
  be like big people like in the purge community, like.
• 1:13:20
  Trying to push it, yeah. Like we need to get rid of these
• 1:13:22
  people and then like, that's also like shunt a little bit
• 1:13:25
  during this. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:13:27
  OK, sure. There we go.
• 1:13:29
  We got it. All right, now it's time for
• 1:13:33
  reviews. OK, so as I said before, I
• 1:13:36
  struggled to find a review that had actual plot points about
• 1:13:41
  what they didn't like about the movie.
• 1:13:42
  I did eventually find one so and it is a one out of 10.
• 1:13:48
  So the original series of Star Trek had this idea a long time
• 1:13:52
  ago and did it better. This movie takes that premise
• 1:13:54
  and drowns it in a whole lot of stupid advanced security system.
• 1:13:57
  Is some laughable metal screens and security cameras?
• 1:13:59
  Check. Safe room?
• 1:14:00
  Active defenses to keep people attacking the metal screens?
• 1:14:03
  Layered defenses at all? Just leaving the country?
• 1:14:05
  Why do any of that? All crime is legal except
• 1:14:08
  weapons above a certain grade or attacking government officials
• 1:14:11
  as above a certain rank, but no one is available to enforce
• 1:14:13
  these restrictions, check. Bringing a knife to a gunfight,
• 1:14:16
  check. Using gun as a melee weapon,
• 1:14:19
  check. Splitting up protagonist to
• 1:14:21
  wander alone in an under siege dangerous situation, check.
• 1:14:25
  Depending on guns for your family to defend themselves, but
• 1:14:27
  with no particular evidence of any of them are trained to use
• 1:14:30
  guns or are trusted for much of the movie to have or use a gun
• 1:14:33
  until it's dramatically appropriate check.
• 1:14:36
  I want to purge by engaging in random murder, but I will pause
• 1:14:39
  to gloat, slash, pose when I'm not actually about to accomplish
• 1:14:42
  said murder so I can be completely unsurprisingly shot
• 1:14:44
  from behind at the last moment. So that I that I have so
• 1:14:48
  helpfully supplied check more than once let me compromise the
• 1:14:52
  supposed safety of our secure home to load a total stranger in
• 1:14:55
  check. I drive a creepy remote control
• 1:14:58
  Chucky doll spy came around my own home to no real end check.
• 1:15:02
  Creepy older possessive boyfriend thinking if I kill my
• 1:15:04
  hot younger girlfriends dad then I will win her heart or at least
• 1:15:06
  her body check. Bonus points for this being then
• 1:15:09
  essentially unimportant for the rest of the movie once the
• 1:15:11
  boyfriend is summarily killed for the crime of attacking your
• 1:15:13
  protagonist. One could go on, but most
• 1:15:16
  egregiously, the movie gives us 1% are protagonists who feel
• 1:15:19
  entitled to hold themselves above the violence that engulfs
• 1:15:21
  the country. 1% are antagonists who feel entitled to cleanse
• 1:15:25
  Society of quote UN quote lesser, IE less rich members and
• 1:15:28
  more. 1% are antagonists who want to take vengeance on our
• 1:15:31
  unsympathetic protagonists for being slightly richer than they
• 1:15:34
  are, when they should be taking vengeance for being so craply
• 1:15:37
  unimpressive security systems. The best case scenario would be
• 1:15:41
  the tough, apparently innocent black veteran being the only
• 1:15:43
  survivor with all the unsympathetic characters killing
• 1:15:46
  each other off. Spoiler this does not happen.
• 1:15:50
  It is incredibly trope laden when you have it listed out like
• 1:15:54
  that. It is, yeah.
• 1:15:55
  But like, The thing is, with stuff like this, I feel like
• 1:15:59
  somebody would probably want to fulfill their fantasy of being a
• 1:16:03
  horror movie villain during the Purge.
• 1:16:05
  With this. And I feel like they would try
• 1:16:07
  and like do the tropes and shit like that.
• 1:16:08
  I feel like there are people out there that do that.
• 1:16:10
  Yeah, I do think that there are people that would, like,
• 1:16:13
  overestimate what it really takes to kill somebody or be in
• 1:16:18
  a fight like that because you say that all the time.
• 1:16:20
  There are people whose egos are way bigger than anything that
• 1:16:23
  they can actually do. And they would definitely go out
• 1:16:26
  there and be like, Oh yeah, no, I'm going to kill some people
• 1:16:28
  and I'm not going to have any harm to myself, including
• 1:16:30
  psychological damage of murdering another human.
• 1:16:33
  Yeah, I've always interpreted the perjures that like come to
• 1:16:38
  the door looking for the guy like as Edgeward 4 Chan users.
• 1:16:43
  Like they just they don't have like a strong grip on what
• 1:16:48
  reality actually is and I don't. Think they have to be on 4 Chan
• 1:16:52
  to do that because they're so fucking rich they're isolated
• 1:16:55
  from that doesn't the most of society.
• 1:16:57
  I think the fortune comes mostly from how they interact with
• 1:17:02
  everybody. So like cringy like because the
• 1:17:05
  guy does like the like forced laughter and show like that
• 1:17:07
  because I think he thinks he looks cool or creepy or
• 1:17:09
  something like that. I don't know.
• 1:17:11
  I. Think it's a little bit a little
• 1:17:14
  bit of that, but I also think that some of these people that
• 1:17:17
  engage in the purge that really truly have bought into this
• 1:17:20
  whole we are cleansing our souls, whether or not they
• 1:17:22
  actually believe it or if they believe that it gives them
• 1:17:25
  justification. You kind of see almost like
• 1:17:29
  they're in a trance. Like think about Grace at the
• 1:17:31
  end where she was like, we hate you, but she doesn't look like
• 1:17:34
  somebody who's like hating somebody.
• 1:17:36
  She looks like somebody who's almost like, well, this is what
• 1:17:40
  it is. This is the doctrine we have
• 1:17:42
  been given. We are going to do this.
• 1:17:44
  And I think you you see that throughout the franchise.
• 1:17:48
  I think honestly, the funnier, funnily enough, to the point I'm
• 1:17:53
  making in the wine with the the election, election year.
• 1:17:58
  Yeah, there we go. The new founding fathers show
• 1:18:02
  more rage towards the senator than any of the like typical
• 1:18:06
  people that we see killing aside from candy bar girl.
• 1:18:10
  Oh God, yeah. But she's just yeah, her base
• 1:18:12
  level is unhinged. So, but yeah, I oh.
• 1:18:16
  Man, that just made me think, I want to see Russell Crowe during
• 1:18:19
  the purge. Oh my God, unhinged.
• 1:18:22
  Somebody like cuts him off. He's like, I'm fucking that
• 1:18:24
  person. Purge and I yeah, that's how he
• 1:18:27
  that's the game he plays when there's no Purge.
• 1:18:29
  Imagine what he would do if there.
• 1:18:30
  Was a purge. I want to know.
• 1:18:32
  Yeah, another dream sequel. Yes, I want a Texas accent in
• 1:18:37
  some of. His scenes OK are we ready for
• 1:18:43
  listener reviews? Yes.
• 1:18:44
  All right, let me check and see if we got anything since just to
• 1:18:48
  be sure. OK, No, we're.
• 1:18:50
  Good. I know Chad sent one.
• 1:18:51
  He did, yeah, I got his. OK, OK, so we will start off
• 1:18:56
  with our own Instagram review. Who is Cube saves OK.
• 1:19:01
  And says the purge got good when they left the house.
• 1:19:05
  Yeah, I mean, that's fair. Like, I understand why people
• 1:19:07
  think that. And yeah, it becomes a lot
• 1:19:11
  better as a series once it opens up like that.
• 1:19:14
  But whenever we first got this, I really just appreciated a nice
• 1:19:17
  little home invasion movie because I love home invasion
• 1:19:20
  movies. They are so creepy to me.
• 1:19:22
  I just like this as like a setup for it.
• 1:19:25
  I didn't even really think, oh shit, we can go out there like,
• 1:19:28
  you know, it's like a video game.
• 1:19:29
  I didn't know that that was out of bounds.
• 1:19:32
  Now. Now we're going to be able to
• 1:19:33
  open up the sandbox and play a little.
• 1:19:35
  Bit they haven't coded that part of the world.
• 1:19:38
  Still in alpha? OK, and then we'll hop over to
• 1:19:41
  Twitter. First off, we have Ward Zombie.
• 1:19:45
  Who says? I remember being disappointed
• 1:19:48
  with this one. The later movies in the series
• 1:19:50
  were more of what I was looking for.
• 1:19:52
  Not a bad movie, just not fitting for the theme.
• 1:19:55
  Yes, and that and honestly that is how I felt about the movie
• 1:19:58
  when we went into it. Now that we have the series we
• 1:20:01
  have, like I said at the beginning, I can appreciate this
• 1:20:04
  movie for what it is and its place in the franchise.
• 1:20:07
  Yeah, I agree. And I'm glad that it ended up
• 1:20:09
  working out 'cause like it's a risky move doing like, all
• 1:20:13
  right, we're going to like really scale back and just put
• 1:20:15
  it in a home. And then if that does well, then
• 1:20:17
  we'll do like a big city because you have to do well with the one
• 1:20:21
  that nobody wants first. Yes, yes.
• 1:20:23
  So that's kind of tough, all right.
• 1:20:25
  And our final review is from Chad, so he has a lengthy one
• 1:20:30
  typed out here. So says I love all subgenres of
• 1:20:35
  horror, but a particular favorite of mine is the one
• 1:20:38
  percenter horror examples like Society Ready or Not The Hunts
• 1:20:42
  come to mind, But The Purge is one of the most sterling
• 1:20:45
  examples of this subgenre and manages to flip it on its head
• 1:20:48
  when you see the elite going after the elite, essentially
• 1:20:51
  cannibalizing itself. A small and contained film that
• 1:20:54
  does an incredible job at world building one.
• 1:20:57
  That's true. It does a good job of like
• 1:20:59
  setting things up. One gets the feeling through the
• 1:21:02
  commentary that this film is laying down that America might
• 1:21:05
  not be too far away from a world like this.
• 1:21:08
  Is the movie subtle? Only if you consider
• 1:21:11
  sledgehammers subtle. But sometimes as film nerds, we
• 1:21:15
  need that sort of blunt force drama and film to wake us up and
• 1:21:18
  make us face some harsh realities.
• 1:21:22
  I've said that before that I'm not always opposed to a lack of
• 1:21:27
  subtlety because I think sometimes if something is too
• 1:21:29
  subtle, it will slip by audiences.
• 1:21:32
  And I think sometimes film makers don't want their message
• 1:21:36
  to be misinterpreted. And I'd say especially after
• 1:21:39
  test audiences, we're like, yeah, no, the purge sounds like
• 1:21:41
  a good idea. Yeah.
• 1:21:43
  I. I get it.
• 1:21:45
  But when you get way too like you're way too upfront with it
• 1:21:50
  and you just start like actually saying it like multiple times,
• 1:21:53
  it kind of takes me out of it because like, OK, I get it.
• 1:21:56
  You're trying to tell me what the movie is.
• 1:21:57
  I get it like treat your people smart sometimes too, you know,
• 1:22:01
  like maybe say it once, but you don't have to repeat it.
• 1:22:04
  Repeat it. Repeat it every single moment
• 1:22:06
  you get. Fair enough.
• 1:22:08
  Yeah. So, OK, but yeah, that was a
• 1:22:11
  really good review. I agree with all that world
• 1:22:13
  building. It sets a lot of awesome things
• 1:22:15
  up. And I do love some one percenter
• 1:22:18
  horror because you get a little bit of that aspirational set
• 1:22:26
  pieces, like who doesn't occasionally dream of living in
• 1:22:30
  a mansion? You know what I mean?
• 1:22:32
  Like and not having to worry about money, but then to have it
• 1:22:36
  flipped on its head and be like, hey, just, you know, like you
• 1:22:39
  said at the beginning, Monkey's paw.
• 1:22:41
  Yep. It's interesting.
• 1:22:44
  OK. OK.
• 1:22:45
  So I think that's it for this one.
• 1:22:47
  OK, next week I think we're going to do Shaun of the Dead.
• 1:22:52
  Shaun of the Dead. Yeah, I've.
• 1:22:54
  Been waffling between a couple of different ones, so Travis
• 1:22:56
  didn't know which one I was going with until just now.
• 1:22:59
  Hell yeah, we're doing Shaun of the Dead.
• 1:23:01
  I'm not going to check where it's streaming right now because
• 1:23:04
  again, it's the end of the month and who knows what rights will
• 1:23:07
  still exist as of July 1st. Just follow our socials because
• 1:23:13
  we always post those on our stories for US listeners where
• 1:23:17
  you can stream everything. So keep an eye out for that.
• 1:23:20
  And Speaking of our socials, we're on Twitter and blue ski at
• 1:23:23
  least fav pod. We're on Instagram and threads,
• 1:23:25
  at least favorite scary movie podcast.
• 1:23:27
  We have a Facebook page, it's our name and we have a website
• 1:23:30

  We would also like to thank our patrons out there.
• 1:23:40
  We have Joe. Freakatron.

  As is his name, Amber, Michael Ward, Zombie Tyler and Chad.
• 1:23:47
  Yes, thank you guys so much. You're our best buddies and you
• 1:23:52
  keep the lights on over at the show and helped us make a nice
• 1:23:55
  donation to the Trevor Project. So that was really important for
• 1:23:59
  Pride Month. Remember that our support and
• 1:24:02
  love for our LGBTQ friends and family members doesn't start and
• 1:24:07
  end. In it doesn't.
• 1:24:08
  It doesn't stop in July. Like, all right, we're done with
• 1:24:10
  that now. And the words of one of my dear
• 1:24:13
  friends. July 1st.
• 1:24:14
  Still gay. So just thank you guys so much.
• 1:24:20
  If you want to show support for the show in non monetary ways,
• 1:24:23
  totally get it. It's cool.
• 1:24:24
  We won't purge you. You can write, review and
• 1:24:28
  subscribe to the show wherever you listen.
• 1:24:31
  You can share us on social media.
• 1:24:33
  You can just tell people about us.
• 1:24:35
  All of that makes a big difference.
• 1:24:37
  And I know we do the rate review and subscribe.
• 1:24:39
  And it's such a meme, especially with, like, YouTube culture and
• 1:24:41
  everything. But the unfortunate thing is the
• 1:24:44
  way platforms like this work, it does tell the algorithm it
• 1:24:47
  helps. Yeah, it it helps us.
• 1:24:49
  There's a reason why people say yeah, smash that like button.
• 1:24:53
  Yeah, we at least try and save it for the end of the show,
• 1:24:55
  yeah. And we're trying not to be
• 1:24:58
  obnoxious with it. Yeah, it it does do it does do
• 1:25:01
  us a lot of good. So yeah, thank you guys for
• 1:25:05
  doing everything that you do. We really, really appreciate
• 1:25:08
  y'all being here and we will see you at the Winchester next week.
• 1:25:13
  Grab a pint. Grab a pint, be ready for it.
• 1:25:16
  All right, See y'all. Bye.
• 1:25:32
  Blessed be the new. Founding Fathers for letting us
• 1:25:36
  purge and cleanse. Our.
• 1:25:37
  Souls. OK, ready.
• 1:25:39
  Let's try it. Again.
