he's just sitting there waiting and then 40 00:02:17.650 --> 00:02:22.500 they basically call the security to take him out because 41 00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:24.800 he's just like chilling there. They're like, no one's going 42 00:02:24.860 --> 00:02:28.039 to ever talk to you. What is that drink? 43 00:02:28.500 --> 00:02:37.349 So this is No, it is pineapple juice. Here's the problem. 44 00:02:39.550 --> 00:02:41.870 I checked the date on the pineapple juice and it 45 00:02:41.909 --> 00:02:45.750 was best by September 2026. End of the month, September 2026. 46 00:02:45.750 --> 00:02:46.069 Okay. 47 00:02:47.590 --> 00:02:50.530 I can drink that. However, I had opened it at 48 00:02:50.569 --> 00:02:56.259 some point. I'm going to take a nod. I did 49 00:02:56.300 --> 00:02:58.080 not mean to remove Steve from the show. That was 50 00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:01.259 an absolute real flub. scared to be alone on the 51 00:03:01.310 --> 00:03:02.789 show all of a sudden. I'm going to take a 52 00:03:02.909 --> 00:03:07.750 non-straw sip because maybe this crazy straw is just fucking bad. 53 00:03:07.789 --> 00:03:09.590 Maybe it's not the pineapple juice. 54 00:03:09.629 --> 00:03:13.550 You think the straw is the problem? Maybe. I don't know. 55 00:03:14.009 --> 00:03:14.930 It's like plastic. 56 00:03:14.949 --> 00:03:20.870 Still bad. Maybe if you cut it with. 57 00:03:21.090 --> 00:03:23.030 It's just. 58 00:03:24.110 --> 00:03:28.150 That pineapple juice has got to go! We're done. In fact, 59 00:03:28.770 --> 00:03:32.909 I'm just going to go ahead and remove my nice glass. 60 00:03:32.990 --> 00:03:34.389 It was for the prop. Here it is. I'm on 61 00:03:34.409 --> 00:03:37.229 vacation mode. I have a nice drink. I don't drink, 62 00:03:37.270 --> 00:03:38.330 so it's just pineapple juice. 63 00:03:38.990 --> 00:03:39.930 I got a crazy straw. 64 00:03:41.349 --> 00:03:42.490 This is so nasty. 65 00:03:43.710 --> 00:03:49.509 I feel like expiration dates are usually suggestions, but maybe 66 00:03:49.889 --> 00:03:50.849 because you already opened it. 67 00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:57.110 Because I opened it. Sour. Sour pineapple juice. 68 00:03:57.889 --> 00:04:00.349 Yeah, sour. What else we got here? 69 00:04:00.729 --> 00:04:01.550 I'm going to the fridge. 70 00:04:01.710 --> 00:04:05.889 I've got orange peach mango. 71 00:04:05.909 --> 00:04:06.650 That's not bad. 72 00:04:08.129 --> 00:04:09.229 That's good. 73 00:04:09.509 --> 00:04:13.719 Some apple lemonade. 74 00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:14.740 We're going to go with the lemonade. 75 00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:19.459 So do you want to talk. 76 00:04:19.389 --> 00:04:20.920 About your favorite minute? 77 00:04:20.939 --> 00:04:23.899 That's tropical. That's tropical. Yeah. Yeah. 78 00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:25.160 It feels like on theme still. 79 00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:26.300 Yeah. 80 00:04:28.939 --> 00:04:31.439 Shout out to Minute Maid, who is, oh, not even 81 00:04:31.459 --> 00:04:36.740 the maker of this drink. I took a swing and 82 00:04:36.779 --> 00:04:39.220 a miss at what brand of lemonade this was. So 83 00:04:39.259 --> 00:04:41.699 I'm going to go ahead and just retire that. Also, 84 00:04:42.189 --> 00:04:45.209 I'm talking at a volume as if I'm near my microphone. 85 00:04:45.310 --> 00:04:47.110 I have headphones on, so I can hear you, but 86 00:04:47.129 --> 00:04:47.810 I probably can't sound great. 87 00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:50.439 You gotta go Newman's own. 88 00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:54.199 Shout out to Newman's own. 89 00:04:54.899 --> 00:04:56.379 As you can see, you got the full fit.

that. 125 00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:14.100 Shaped us, digging into director commentaries, behind the scenes stories, 126 00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:17.360 deleted scenes, and the special features that most people skip. 127 00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:19.720 Each episode is a love. 128 00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:20.519 Letter to the genre. 129 00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:23.459 We break down how these films were made, the creative 130 00:07:23.500 --> 00:07:27.250 risks that paid off or didn't, Oh, it didn't. 131 00:07:27.269 --> 00:07:29.769 Sometimes they don't pay off.

Good ad. 136 00:07:31.019 --> 00:07:57.230 Good pod name. I... I would say I did grow 137 00:07:57.269 --> 00:07:58.810 up in the video store, but I did not grow 138 00:07:58.850 --> 00:08:01.509 up in the horror aisle. I did not really get 139 00:08:01.569 --> 00:08:04.370 back into horror until I was an adult. You were 140 00:08:04.410 --> 00:08:09.569 there for my horror rebirth, Steve. That first time that 141 00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:12.540 we saw VHS1, I was like, oh shit, I actually 142 00:08:12.680 --> 00:08:16.040 love this. It changed my relationship with the genre because 143 00:08:16.060 --> 00:08:19.720 it changed my expectations of what a horror film could 144 00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:21.399 be and do. 145 00:08:21.899 --> 00:08:23.430 That's a pretty big, deep.... 146 00:08:25.759 --> 00:08:29.089 Deep cut to get back into it. To get back 147 00:08:29.129 --> 00:08:32.190 into the show. And also pretty intense from the very beginning. 148 00:08:34.129 --> 00:08:35.309 Yeah, I would say so. 149 00:08:35.509 --> 00:08:39.350 That first one's pretty horrifying. It's probably the one that 150 00:08:39.370 --> 00:08:42.659 I remember the most, even though it's the first. 151 00:08:42.559 --> 00:08:43.179 One of the whole thing. 152 00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:48.320 Prior to Hereditary, it was my most memorable horror movie 153 00:08:48.340 --> 00:08:49.399 watching experience. 154 00:08:51.000 --> 00:08:51.279 You know? 155 00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:58.960 And prior to Prior to VHS, I would say it's 156 00:08:59.039 --> 00:09:03.399 The Ring, depending on how you count. I saw The 157 00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:06.019 Ring after 9-11, so before The Ring, it was 9-11, 158 00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:10.409 which I did watch. Time for the childhood trauma dump. 159 00:09:10.750 --> 00:09:13.710 Tomorrow will be the 25th anniversary. I watched it live 160 00:09:13.769 --> 00:09:18.169 from the dentist's office. It was weird. And they sent 161 00:09:18.210 --> 00:09:18.970 me back to school. 162 00:09:20.629 --> 00:09:23.879 Yeah, you went with Carolina, so that was right over 163 00:09:23.919 --> 00:09:24.279 New Jersey. 164 00:09:24.409 --> 00:09:26.870 I was in North Carolina, but my family was from 165 00:09:27.289

--> 00:09:30.769 New York and New Jersey. I had immediate family members 166 00:09:30.809 --> 00:09:35.289 that worked in the city and that worked in that building. Thankfully, 167 00:09:35.330 --> 00:09:36.269 they were not there that day. 168 00:09:36.289 --> 00:09:42.250 It was close enough where they sent us home from school. 169 00:09:42.330 --> 00:09:44.909 Going back to school, everyone's like, what's going on? I'm like, 170 00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:49.399 it's fucked, y'all. It's bad. It's really bad out there, 171 00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:52.149 it seems like. Uh, but, but being like, okay, so 172 00:09:52.169 --> 00:09:54.330 we're going to do a normal lesson now and being 173 00:09:54.350 --> 00:09:56.480 in like second grade to be like the normal lesson 174 00:09:57.440 --> 00:10:03.250 does not matter. It'll be okay. um weird strange times 175 00:10:03.289 --> 00:10:05.250 and here we are 25 years later hosting a show 176 00:10:05.549 --> 00:10:12.240 about a movie made in 1991 crazy time keeps ticking 177 00:10:14.769 --> 00:10:17.779 and we're in a big tower yeah we're in a 178 00:10:17.799 --> 00:10:20.659 famous tower in akatomi tower from Die Hard. When was 179 00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:22.179 the last time you watched Die Hard, Steve? 180 00:10:24.909 --> 00:10:29.509 Probably like a year ago, maybe. Okay. 181 00:10:30.049 --> 00:10:32.070 It's like a once a year watch for me personally. 182 00:10:32.129 --> 00:10:34.509 It's not my go-to Christmas movie or anything like that. 183 00:10:34.789 --> 00:10:38.309 I probably watched it either for grad school. I had 184 00:10:38.350 --> 00:10:41.240 to watch it at some point. I've seen it before that, 185 00:10:41.340 --> 00:10:43.899 but I think it was one of the movies that 186 00:10:43.940 --> 00:10:47.879 we watched in like a class, which is an interesting choice. 187 00:10:49.070 --> 00:10:52.169 Yeah i was first introduced to die hard um beyond 188 00:10:52.210 --> 00:10:54.769 like the tropes of it uh the first time i 189 00:10:54.809 --> 00:10:56.610 was like someone was like watch this movie it was 190 00:10:56.789 --> 00:10:59.929 a high school creative writing class where we finally got 191 00:10:59.970 --> 00:11:01.769 to screenwriting which is why i was taking the class 192 00:11:01.789 --> 00:11:04.269 in the first place and then my professor my teacher 193 00:11:04.769 --> 00:11:10.669 uh was like here is a perfect screenplay yeah this 194 00:11:10.730 --> 00:11:14.539 movie is a perfect screenplay and i went okay and 195 00:11:14.559 --> 00:11:15.740 so that was the way i watched it was like 196 00:11:16.090 --> 00:11:18.090 This movie is perfect. There's everything this movie is doing. 197 00:11:18.309 --> 00:11:21.590 It's doing correct. And I like, I mean, that's still 198 00:11:21.610 --> 00:11:22.259 how I feel about it. 199 00:11:22.250 --> 00:11:22.929 It's a masterpiece. 200 00:11:23.750 --> 00:11:25.840 I would say it is like an annual rewatch for me. 201 00:11:25.940 --> 00:11:29.519 And invariably I do watch it at some point in 202 00:11:29.559 --> 00:11:36.460 the run-up to Christmas, but it's mostly as like a 203 00:11:36.539 --> 00:11:39.879 counterbalance to other Christmas, more traditional Christmas movies. It's not 204 00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:43.320 because I'm like, Oh, this movie is so Christmas. It's like, 205 00:11:44.549 --> 00:11:48.590 could fucking happen on Halloween for all I care. In fact, 206 00:11:48.629 --> 00:11:50.649 why not? Make it die hard, but it's the Halloween 207 00:11:50.690 --> 00:11:52.450 party and they're all in goofy ass outfits. 208 00:11:55.129 --> 00:11:57.320 That should have been the case for all the other ones. 209 00:11:57.360 --> 00:12:00.600 They should have just been other holidays. It's just to 210 00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:01.059 their guns. 211 00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:08.259 Hans Gruber is dressed as Heath Ledger Joker. His guys 212 00:12:08.340 --> 00:12:13.090 are dressed as other Heath Ledger. It's like 10 Heath 213 00:12:13.110 --> 00:12:21.600 Ledger Jokers. John McClane of course Heath Ledger Joker and 214 00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:25.200 none no one at the party none of the party 215 00:12:25.240 --> 00:12:32.879 goers are Heath Ledger Joker they're all Batman die hard 216 00:12:32.919 --> 00:12:35.299 but all the bad guys and the good guy are 217 00:12:35.340 --> 00:12:39.360 Heath Ledger Joker Halloween costumes everyone else is a Christian 218 00:12:39.419 --> 00:12:46.500 Bale Batman Halloween costume interesting nothing else changes come up 219 00:12:46.539 --> 00:12:48.840 to the roof, we'll have, come out to the West Coast, 220 00:12:48.860 --> 00:12:51.399 we'll have a few laughs, whatever the fucking lines are. 221 00:12:51.450 --> 00:12:53.230 I don't know the lines. I'm on vacation. 222 00:12:55.730 --> 00:12:57.809 I feel like it would be a little confusing, but 223 00:12:57.870 --> 00:13:06.929 I think it's... You think? I think they should all 224 00:13:06.970 --> 00:13:08.629 be Heath Ledger characters. 225 00:13:09.490 --> 00:13:09.669 Okay. 226 00:13:14.169 --> 00:13:18.129 You know, like one of those kind of Halloween parties. Okay. 227 00:13:19.190 --> 00:13:23.830 The movie's called The Heathen, but it's actually The Heath Inn. 228 00:13:23.950 --> 00:13:27.429 Like a lock-in, but everyone's gotta be a Heath Ledger character. 229 00:13:27.460 --> 00:13:28.669 Everyone's gotta be Heath. 230 00:13:30.299 --> 00:13:31.559 So you get some cowboys. 231 00:13:32.620 --> 00:13:33.399 Gay cowboys. 232 00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:37.000 Can I, um. 233 00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:42.870 Knights. Whatever else he's been in. I. 234 00:13:43.509 --> 00:13:46.789 I won't diagnose myself, but I did see a thing 235 00:13:46.850 --> 00:13:51.539 on my computer screen in StreamYard. And I do now 236 00:13:51.600 --> 00:13:53.580 want to talk about it and click on it. So 237 00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:57.039 it's called Scream Man. Can we hear Scream Man? Do

238 00:13:57.059 --> 00:13:58.000 you want to hear Scream Man? 239 00:13:58.240 --> 00:13:59.220 It's a podcast. 240 00:14:00.940 --> 00:14:02.759 No, I don't think so. I think it's a sound 241 00:14:02.799 --> 00:14:07.570 effect that I put in. I don't think it came 242 00:14:07.610 --> 00:14:10.990 with StreamYard. I don't think Scream Man is a default 243 00:14:11.029 --> 00:14:11.490 sound effect. 244 00:14:11.909 --> 00:14:12.230 I see. 245 00:14:12.289 --> 00:14:12.490 Got it. 246 00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:19.899 Here he comes. I think we've definitely heard Scream Man before. 247 00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:20.899 We've played that before. 248 00:14:21.159 --> 00:14:25.210 But I'm happy to hear him again. And for people 249 00:14:25.250 --> 00:14:27.110 that hate when I play with the soundboard, this is 250 00:14:27.129 --> 00:14:39.960 what you sound like. How about that? Okay, I've had 251 00:14:40.009 --> 00:14:46.940 enough of that. All right, soundboard's put away. Look, we 252 00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:48.759 got to talk about what does it mean for me 253 00:14:48.779 --> 00:14:50.820 to be on vacation mode. It means you're in charge 254 00:14:50.860 --> 00:14:51.799 of the show this week, Steve. 255 00:14:51.820 --> 00:14:54.080 I'm in charge? 256 00:14:54.700 --> 00:14:57.559 Yeah, you're working. You're doing the job. I'm on vacation. 257 00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:02.919 I'm leaning back in the chair. I'm sipping on my lemonade. 258 00:15:04.139 --> 00:15:06.120 Let me tell our correspondent, I helped myself to some 259 00:15:06.159 --> 00:15:07.259 of your lemonade. 260 00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:09.440 Where are you located on vacation? 261 00:15:09.580 --> 00:15:11.620 In our wedding champagne club. 262 00:15:12.539 --> 00:15:15.710 Oh, is that what this is? I just took... I 263 00:15:15.799 --> 00:15:18.250 couldn't find... We have a Rainforest Cafe glass. 264 00:15:18.269 --> 00:15:19.049 I didn't know where that was. 265 00:15:23.929 --> 00:15:29.570 It's further up. Beyond reach. So I did bail on... 266 00:15:29.470 --> 00:15:31.720 I couldn't find the Rainforest Cafe glass. It was not 267 00:15:31.740 --> 00:15:34.320 where I thought it would be. So I've learned these 268 00:15:34.440 --> 00:15:39.440 are my wedding champagne glasses. Oh, wait. I've been told 269 00:15:39.480 --> 00:15:40.100 that was a lie. 270 00:15:42.299 --> 00:15:45.019 Mom made our actual wedding champagne glass it's a conspiracy 271 00:15:45.080 --> 00:15:45.659 on the day. 272 00:15:45.559 --> 00:15:49.240 So ah i like i like hearing details about my 273 00:15:49.299 --> 00:15:51.710 life and there are stories that might as well happen 274 00:15:51.730 --> 00:15:54.990 to another person i'm like oh okay that's pretty cool 275 00:15:55.029 --> 00:15:58.330 that that happened to me nice of you nice of 276 00:15:58.370 --> 00:16:03.070 you to tell me that no i do remember those 277 00:16:03.129 --> 00:16:05.639 glasses but i'm saying that's why i'm like when you 278 00:16:05.679 --> 00:16:07.340 told me these are them i just went oh okay 279 00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:10.399 i'm just i get Hate to say this on a 280 00:16:10.419 --> 00:16:12.600 live show, but I guess suggestible enough that if you 281 00:16:12.620 --> 00:16:14.539 did tell me these were them, my brain just goes, 282 00:16:15.539 --> 00:16:19.049 I guess so. But it's a superficial detail, so I 283 00:16:19.070 --> 00:16:23.690 don't think that ultimately matters. Yeah, I don't think the 284 00:16:23.730 --> 00:16:26.870 champagne glasses that you use for the toast are like 285 00:16:27.470 --> 00:16:36.450 an iconic part of a wedding visually. Eh, whatever. Steve, 286 00:16:36.470 --> 00:16:38.289 you can step in at any time, by the way. 287 00:16:38.450 --> 00:16:40.490 You're hosting.

Maybe that's it. 293 00:16:58.879 --> 00:17:00.779 Co-host, host, coast. 294 00:17:01.259 --> 00:17:04.269 I'm on the co-host coast, and I'm here to coast. 295 00:17:04.970 --> 00:17:05.930 And I have a coaster. 296 00:17:08.869 --> 00:17:10.890 Where is your fake background from? 297 00:17:11.230 --> 00:17:19.849 I do not know. It was already open. Yeah, don't worry. 298 00:17:19.890 --> 00:17:24.759 You're going to have to take the reins, my man. 299 00:17:25.130 --> 00:17:28.579 Where are you imagining you are? 300 00:17:28.599 --> 00:17:44.319 Um... Um... A private island owned by an actor famous 301 00:17:44.380 --> 00:17:47.980 for playing a superhero, but they don't have to play 302 00:17:48.019 --> 00:17:52.059 that role anymore. They are not currently an active superhero actor, 303 00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:57.849 but that's where they made their money. And it's warm here. 304 00:17:58.470 --> 00:18:02.099 And it's nice. And the water, you can't really see it. 305 00:18:02.589 --> 00:18:03.730 Fucking crystal clear. 306 00:18:04.809 --> 00:18:09.609 That's sweet. Have you caught any fish with a spear? 307 00:18:10.880 --> 00:18:15.279 No, I'm actually pretty bad at fishing. Could you imagine 308 00:18:15.299 --> 00:18:17.279 if this was someone's first episode of this show? They go, 309 00:18:17.299 --> 00:18:19.220 what the fuck is going on? This is about the 310 00:18:19.259 --> 00:18:20.220 movie Motorama? 311 00:18:20.599 --> 00:18:21.160 It is. 312 00:18:21.769 --> 00:18:27.509 We're going to get there. We have 73 episodes. So 313 00:18:27.549 --> 00:18:31.230 that's nearly 200 hours of us talking about the movie. 314 00:18:32.069 --> 00:18:35.369 We never really talked about vacation before. Let us talk 315 00:18:35.410 --> 00:18:35.849 about vacation. 316

00:18:35.869 --> 00:18:37.990 You look very isolated. You look like you're on an 317 00:18:38.049 --> 00:18:40.450 episode of Survivor. I'm chilling. 318 00:18:40.769 --> 00:18:44.380 I brought my microphone out to the beach. We got 319 00:18:44.420 --> 00:18:49.259 the sand. We got the surf. They're just off screen, 320 00:18:49.299 --> 00:18:51.779 but we got babes. We got. 321 00:18:53.180 --> 00:18:53.759 Coconuts. 322 00:18:53.799 --> 00:18:57.680 People are drinking out of coconuts. They're not even drinking 323 00:18:57.700 --> 00:19:01.450 coconut milk. They're mixing a milk or mixing a drink. 324 00:19:01.490 --> 00:19:04.910 Maybe it's milk based. They're pouring that drink into the coconut. 325 00:19:05.720 --> 00:19:07.700 And there is a straw in the coconut with a 326 00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:10.420 little umbrella, but they're not... They're going. 327 00:19:11.140 --> 00:19:14.640 I like the ladies that come up with all the 328 00:19:14.700 --> 00:19:17.859 fruit and they sell you fruit with coconut drinks and stuff. 329 00:19:18.619 --> 00:19:20.779 Those are the babes, yeah. I mentioned some babes. Let's 330 00:19:20.799 --> 00:19:21.400 see who that is. 331 00:19:21.980 --> 00:19:23.880 Oh, those are the babes. 332 00:19:23.960 --> 00:19:27.660 They're all working professionals who are trying to make a living. 333 00:19:29.119 --> 00:19:35.369 There's one lady on Instagram that sings. Watermelon, watermelon. I 334 00:19:35.390 --> 00:19:38.380 like her a lot. She's fun. I like that. 335 00:19:38.400 --> 00:19:39.240 I think that's good. 336 00:19:39.339 --> 00:19:41.380 I want to buy fruit from her. 337 00:19:44.279 --> 00:19:48.410 Yeah, I think more... Certainly more so than someone who 338 00:19:48.450 --> 00:19:53.240 doesn't talk. I have this... bodega-like spot that I frequent 339 00:19:53.299 --> 00:19:58.849 due to its proximity to where I live. And there's 340 00:19:59.369 --> 00:20:00.950 a lot of folks who work there, but there's two 341 00:20:00.990 --> 00:20:04.490 primary folks who work there in one. All smiles all 342 00:20:04.509 --> 00:20:06.269 the time. Happy to see everybody. 343 00:20:06.849 --> 00:20:07.250 That's good. 344 00:20:07.269 --> 00:20:11.190 The community loves them. And then another person. 345 00:20:11.490 --> 00:20:11.869 Same job. 346 00:20:14.210 --> 00:20:17.390 Not happy to be there. Doesn't engage. 347 00:20:17.509 --> 00:20:18.329 Doesn't interact. 348 00:20:19.150 --> 00:20:24.470 Makes every transaction feel like an anxiety nightmare. 349 00:20:24.859 --> 00:20:27.839 Do they work at the same time? Or do they alternate? Never. 350 00:20:28.359 --> 00:20:30.200 Maybe once or twice I've seen them together. But they're 351 00:20:30.220 --> 00:20:35.660 never there together. And it changes completely. And they're usually 352 00:20:35.680 --> 00:20:38.359 the only employee in this place at a time. Total 353 00:20:38.380 --> 00:20:42.210 different vibes. You walk in, you're like, oh, no. Or 354 00:20:42.230 --> 00:20:44.750 you walk in, you're like, yeah, this is the spot. 355 00:20:45.269 --> 00:20:47.369 What's up, everybody? Different energy. 356 00:20:48.109 --> 00:20:48.369 Wow. 357 00:20:48.950 --> 00:20:52.710 Is it completely random shifts? We have it locked down? 358 00:20:53.490 --> 00:20:56.630 I don't know, personally. It probably isn't. It probably is not. 359 00:20:56.690 --> 00:21:01.549 It's probably fairly regular. And I've just never thought about it. 360 00:21:01.829 --> 00:21:03.490 Yeah, I started thinking that it's going to be like 361 00:21:03.569 --> 00:21:04.289 a Tuesday. 362 00:21:07.130 --> 00:21:07.329 Bad. 363 00:21:08.609 --> 00:21:12.849 Like a T-shirt. You can figure out the schedules. 364 00:21:14.299 --> 00:21:16.859 I come in and I post the schedule. Here's who's 365 00:21:16.900 --> 00:21:27.819 working when. Because here's when I can come in. So today, 366 00:21:28.299 --> 00:21:29.880 the day that this comes out, today is the last 367 00:21:29.920 --> 00:21:31.880 day to vote for our film. My name is John. 368 00:21:32.279 --> 00:21:36.369 It's up for inclusion in a feature anthology. If you're 369 00:21:36.390 --> 00:21:38.829 listening to this episode... Pretty much any time other than 370 00:21:38.849 --> 00:21:40.650 the day it's coming out. You know if we got 371 00:21:40.710 --> 00:21:43.430 in or not. And if we never bring it up again, 372 00:21:44.289 --> 00:21:46.819 that's why. And if we're really annoying about. 373 00:21:46.599 --> 00:21:47.819 It, that's why. 374 00:21:48.920 --> 00:21:51.339 It's a great film. It's a gender-bending psychological horror film. 375 00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:53.779 It's a body horror film. It's directed by Jordan Roman. 376 00:21:53.799 --> 00:21:55.670 It was produced by me and Steve. I wrote it. 377 00:21:55.799 --> 00:21:58.420 Our friend Jordan Sarf, executive, produced it. And a ton 378 00:21:58.460 --> 00:22:00.720 of talented folks put time and energy into making that movie. 379 00:22:00.740 --> 00:22:02.599 So if we could take just a moment of your 380 00:22:02.619 --> 00:22:05.680 time to get serious and sincere about 20 minutes into 381 00:22:05.700 --> 00:22:07.980 a podcast where I've just been taking the piss the 382 00:22:08.000 --> 00:22:10.700 whole time. This is not a funny film at all. 383 00:22:10.720 --> 00:22:13.119 This is a serious, genuine work of art, a moving film. 384 00:22:13.400 --> 00:22:18.299 Some have called it beautiful. Not me. But I also today, 385 00:22:18.319 --> 00:22:22.180 it is a beautiful film. Today, I was thinking about 386 00:22:22.220 --> 00:22:25.400 it and I said it's very much about a child 387 00:22:26.819 --> 00:22:31.240 in an unfamiliar, hostile environment. That's one of the core 388 00:22:31.279 --> 00:22:33.640 tensions of the film. And that to me, you go, 389 00:22:33.680 --> 00:22:36.130 why is it a horror film? I described it that way. 390 00:22:36.869 --> 00:22:40.059 And so it would love for

more people to see it. 391 00:22:40.089 --> 00:22:42.109 The film is actually a little bit a week and 392 00:22:42.150 --> 00:22:44.490 some change away from its world premiere. So that's going 393 00:22:44.509 --> 00:22:46.069 to be cool. If you're in St. George, Utah, come 394 00:22:46.150 --> 00:22:48.069 on down to see it. But otherwise you might have 395 00:22:48.109 --> 00:22:49.970 your first chance to see it in that anthology and 396 00:22:50.039 --> 00:22:52.880 you can help us by voting. The link is in 397 00:22:52.900 --> 00:22:59.700 the description. Please vote. And then separately. Also, if you 398 00:22:59.940 --> 00:23:04.200 are an American citizen, also vote later for other stuff. 399 00:23:08.339 --> 00:23:09.079 Yeah, amen. 400 00:23:11.599 --> 00:23:13.720 I'll drink some lemonade to that. 401 00:23:14.180 --> 00:23:16.180 Dead Meat James, right? 402 00:23:17.309 --> 00:23:19.410 Yep, shout out to Dead Meat and Dead Meat James, 403 00:23:20.230 --> 00:23:23.609 the Dead Meat podcast, the Dead Meat YouTube channel, the 404 00:23:23.670 --> 00:23:27.890 Kill Counts. We love those Kill Counts. Motorama, actually, we 405 00:23:27.910 --> 00:23:32.440 did a Kill Count for Motorama. It's like one, two, two, two, two, 406 00:23:32.900 --> 00:23:36.539 two so far, I think. One guy they throw in 407 00:23:36.559 --> 00:23:39.539 the river. Oh, three! 408 00:23:39.960 --> 00:23:40.440 Three! 409 00:23:41.039 --> 00:23:43.700 Guy who gets thrown in the river.

And I actually don't think we're going to 417 00:24:02.940 --> 00:24:07.589 see another kill. I think that's it. as far as kills. 418 00:24:08.369 --> 00:24:10.359 Flea could be killing off-screen still. 419 00:24:11.160 --> 00:24:11.339 Yeah. 420 00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:15.359 He's on a killing spree.

I've been busting my ass for so long. I said, 520 00:28:49.119 --> 00:28:52.099 when's the last time I gave myself a vacation? And 521 00:28:52.160 --> 00:28:54.359 I said, about five minutes before we came on the show, 522 00:28:54.400 --> 00:28:56.900 I said, right now. I'm in vacation. 523 00:28:56.960 --> 00:28:57.869 And mainly. 524 00:28:59.869 --> 00:29:02.390 here's the, here's the truth behind the bit. 525 00:29:02.769 --> 00:29:03.170 Here we go. 526 00:29:05.049 --> 00:29:09.390 I'm wearing these tropical floral gym shorts because they're comfy 527 00:29:09.410 --> 00:29:12.779 and easy to wear. And I wasn't really going anywhere today. 528 00:29:12.839 --> 00:29:15.779 So I said, do I need to wear, not that 529 00:29:15.839 --> 00:29:18.880 I wouldn't have put pants on, but like I'd put 530 00:29:18.960 --> 00:29:20.640 on jeans if I was going out to interact with 531 00:29:20.660 --> 00:29:21.019 the world. 532 00:29:21.059 --> 00:29:21.240 Right. 533 00:29:21.640 --> 00:29:22.799 I'm not, I'm chilling at home. 534 00:29:23.119 --> 00:29:23.960 So shorts. 535 00:29:24.440 --> 00:29:25.640 Then I said, what do I want to wear for 536 00:29:25.680 --> 00:29:29.190 the show? And I said, Hmm, I could wear a t-shirt, 537 00:29:29.230 --> 00:29:31.130 but I've worn t-shirts, you know, I've kind of, I've 538 00:29:31.150 --> 00:29:33.089 debuted them all. Let me wear a shirt that maybe 539 00:29:33.109 --> 00:29:35.420 I haven't worn on the podcast before. So I grabbed 540 00:29:35.460 --> 00:29:39.220 this one and I said, oh, floral on floral Hawaiian 541 00:29:39.259 --> 00:29:41.160 shirt on these on these flower shorts. 542 00:29:41.220 --> 00:29:41.740 What's going on? 543 00:29:42.140 --> 00:29:44.259 I look like I'm going on vacation.

There's nothing stopping either of y'all 548 00:29:58.920 --> 00:30:04.609 right now. From getting into the mood and turning your 549 00:30:04.869 --> 00:30:08.269 staycation of the mind into a vacation. 550 00:30:08.289 --> 00:30:11.089 Of the soul. Hell yeah. 551 00:30:11.490 --> 00:30:12.210 Very poetic. 552 00:30:13.650 --> 00:30:15.609 Okay, so you're both moved by the speech, but I 553 00:30:15.650 --> 00:30:18.430 don't see action. Steve, you're still in the office. 554 00:30:18.910 --> 00:30:21.210 No, because then I would have to change my background. 555 00:30:21.990 --> 00:30:25.200 I have a deep affinity for the floral shirt, the 556 00:30:25.259 --> 00:30:26.359 Hawaiian shirt. 557 00:30:26.480 --> 00:30:28.819 I have a flowery shirt. 558 00:30:28.839 --> 00:30:31.019 Your shirt's kind of flowy. You're getting there. It is. 559 00:30:31.160 --> 00:30:31.420 It is. 560 00:30:31.460 --> 00:30:31.940 Yeah. 561 00:30:32.019 --> 00:30:34.220 Keep on buttoning, Steve. Go for Island. 562 00:30:35.480 --> 00:30:39.119 As a, as

a chubby guy, like growing up, if I, 563 00:30:39.200 --> 00:30:41.900 if I wanted to put an outfit on, you know, 564 00:30:41.960 --> 00:30:44.240 and go out, you know, in high school, that was 565 00:30:44.299 --> 00:30:47.569 my go-to was a Hawaiian shirt. What's more fun. 566 00:30:47.700 --> 00:30:50.490 What signals more. I'm bringing the vibes. 567 00:30:50.769 --> 00:30:55.230 I am fun. And it's flowy. It's nice for the 568 00:30:55.309 --> 00:30:58.710 bigger body, the big, the big, big bone fellows, you know? 569 00:30:59.650 --> 00:31:02.930 A hundred percent. A hundred percent. 570 00:31:04.589 --> 00:31:05.769 Yeah, it's like fluffy. It's a staple. 571 00:31:06.650 --> 00:31:10.509 I have a lot of fluffy fits.

Do I still want this shoulder-length hair? And 575 00:31:19.650 --> 00:31:23.940 I was like, the reality is, it's good branding. I 576 00:31:24.000 --> 00:31:27.700 meet an executive. I meet another filmmaker. I meet someone 577 00:31:27.920 --> 00:31:32.789 on this show, even. There's a distinct visual where they're 578 00:31:32.829 --> 00:31:34.230 going to go, I remember you. 579 00:31:34.250 --> 00:31:34.440 We met. 580 00:31:34.569 --> 00:31:38.849 You had a specific look that I didn't have before. 581 00:31:38.930 --> 00:31:44.140 And I actually do think that helps. And to some extent, 582 00:31:45.059 --> 00:31:48.480 it's disarming. I think people are like, oh, okay, I 583 00:31:48.539 --> 00:31:51.380 get your whole deal pretty quickly, which is not bad. 584 00:31:51.460 --> 00:31:52.519 Not a bad place to be. 585 00:31:53.279 --> 00:31:56.140 You're a true guy.

And so that's 656 00:36:32.909 --> 00:36:36.920 what that is. And that's the reason to do this 657 00:36:37.019 --> 00:36:41.659 photo with the white background, the white background.

As an expert of venture capital and 694 00:38:51.489 --> 00:38:55.170 all things financial related, I'm going to say $ 65.

It seems like they've been, they've 781 00:44:04.590 --> 00:44:06.389 been getting a little bit more realistic. 782 00:44:09.769 --> 00:44:10.090 Okay. 783 00:44:10.110 --> 00:44:15.920 Here's a good one. That's fucking nuts. This is a 784 00:44:16.099 --> 00:44:20.679 fantastic podcasting that people are definitely not skipping ahead during. 785 00:44:20.900 --> 00:44:27.570 Nicholas, do you like A24 movies? 786 00:44:28.750 --> 00:44:31.750 I haven't seen a ton of them. I guess I 787 00:44:31.769 --> 00:44:38.800 like A24 movies. I've seen Hereditary, Midsommar. I had to 788 00:44:38.840 --> 00:44:43.699 see Moonlight for class. It's cool. They definitely have a distinct... 789 00:44:45.489 --> 00:44:47.880 artsy feel to their films, but I haven't gone deep 790 00:44:47.900 --> 00:44:50.800 enough to say I'm an A24 fan or anything like that. 791 00:44:52.599 --> 00:45:01.510 I respect that. I think that's a good, even-handed response. Okay. 792 00:45:02.170 --> 00:45:03.269 I've got some items. 793 00:45:04.769 --> 00:45:05.329 Here we go. 794 00:45:06.030 --> 00:45:14.449 The next item. We did that.

This is mini 798 00:45:28.840 --> 00:45:33.460 puzzle number three. And this is Charlie's head. A 135 799 00:45:33.460 --> 00:45:36.119 piece puzzle.

this table how much is it 968 00:57:37.150 --> 00:57:42.119 going to cost you steve you said a thousand oh 969 00:57:42.179 --> 00:57:46.500 wait did you see it did you look i saw 970 00:57:46.599 --> 00:57:49.800 it i won't guess okay it's 850 dollars but the 971 00:57:49.820 --> 00:57:53.139 thing is uh my understanding is that these tables a 972 00:57:53.199 --> 00:57:56.030 jeweler table i believe starts at like 750 So the 973 00:57:56.090 --> 00:57:59.300 markup here is considerable. You're paying the age 24 tax, 974 00:57:59.550 --> 00:58:04.079 but not to such an extent that like, if you 975 00:58:04.099 --> 00:58:07.039 were already going to get a jewel of tail, you're 976 00:58:07.079 --> 00:58:09.059 not necessarily a clown for going. And I got the 977 00:58:09.099 --> 00:58:14.289 Marty Supreme one. So that was a 24 is the 978 00:58:14.349 --> 00:58:17.210 price is right.

Pretty fast. 984 00:58:34.860 --> 00:58:35.980 It's dropping now. 985 00:58:37.619 --> 00:58:37.820 Yeah. 986 00:58:38.099 --> 00:58:40.039 Speaking of being ready for something dropping now, Steve, I 987 00:58:40.039 --> 00:58:42.460 think we should do minute 73 of Motorama. 988 00:58:42.880 --> 00:58:45.579 That sounds exciting. We shall. 989 00:58:46.800 --> 00:58:47.960 Do we want to do any sort of prep? We 990 00:58:47.980 --> 00:58:50.420 want to just jump right into it. as we near 991 00:58:50.440 --> 00:58:51.059 the hour mark. 992 00:58:51.960 --> 00:58:54.000 Um, I mean, I guess. 993 00:58:55.559 --> 00:58:58.320 Nicholas, did you, did you watch any more of the 994 00:58:58.360 --> 00:59:02.550 movie or did you just remember the one. 995 00:59:02.469 --> 00:59:03.510 Minute that you had before? 996 00:59:04.269 --> 00:59:06.829 Um, I did. Well, when we, when we did that 997 00:59:06.889 --> 00:59:11.570 episode a few months ago, um, don't remember if I 998 00:59:11.630 --> 00:59:13.909 finished the entire thing, but I watched at least a 999 00:59:13.929 --> 00:59:17.269 very significant portion of the movie. So I'm a little 1000 00:59:17.289 --> 00:59:20.840 bit more equipped to talk about today's minute, I think. 1001 00:59:20.949 --> 00:59:22.889 So I'm excited to get in. I know a little 1002 00:59:22.909 --> 00:59:27.119 bit more about what the movie is about, I think. So, yeah, 1003 00:59:27.239 --> 00:59:28.239 I'm excited to get into it. 1004 00:59:29.059 --> 00:59:32.579 Hell yeah. So then without further ado, I'm just going 1005 00:59:32.599 --> 00:59:37.980 to go ahead and present. Minute 73. And Steve, despite 1006 00:59:38.019 --> 00:59:40.539 being the one in the chair, I'm in the control seat. 1007 00:59:41.119 --> 00:59:43.500 You're still hosting and I'm still on vacation mode. So 1008 00:59:43.519 --> 00:59:50.010 whatever you say goes, man. Starting with what we're going 1009 00:59:50.030 --> 00:59:51.869 to do as always is we're just let it play. 1010 00:59:51.889 --> 00:59:54.929 We're going to let it run raw. And Nick, we're 1011 00:59:54.949 --> 00:59:56.650 going to come back to you for your, I guess, 1012 00:59:56.670 --> 01:00:00.469 maybe second impressions of this minute. You're the young man 1013 01:00:00.489 --> 01:00:01.869 who called a little while ago. 1014 01:00:02.010 --> 01:00:02.329 Aren't you? 1015 01:00:03.929 --> 01:00:05.650 Yes, yes. 1016 01:00:06.590 --> 01:00:10.219 We've been expecting you. You've got all the letters. 1017 01:00:11.320 --> 01:00:16.800 Oh, nice. We'd just like to know, just as a formality, 1018 01:00:18.940 --> 01:00:20.010 where did you get the R? 1019 01:00:21.880 --> 01:00:22.480 What station? 1020 01:00:23.400 --> 01:00:24.559 Could you tell us that? 1021 01:00:25.800 --> 01:00:27.989 Does it make a difference? How am I supposed to remember? 1022 01:00:28.639 --> 01:00:29.969 We could help you remember. 1023 01:00:29.989 --> 01:00:31.789 Here are some pictures. 1024 01:00:32.489 --> 01:00:33.349 Would you come over here? 1025 01:00:51.210 --> 01:00:51.630 Security. 1026 01:00:52.170 --> 01:00:55.949 Miss Lawton? Look, ma'am, I've been through a lot of 1027 01:00:56.030 --> 01:00:57.699 shit to get here, and. 1028 01:00:57.820 --> 01:00:59.219 Well, did I win or not? 1029 01:01:02.000 --> 01:01:03.300 Wow, what a moment. 1030 01:01:05.300 --> 01:01:06.000 Great minute. 1031 01:01:08.820 --> 01:01:11.159 That was a great great moment agreed. 1032 01:01:13.119 --> 01:01:18.050 It's it's pretty compelling i think this is we understand 1033 01:01:18.130 --> 01:01:23.329 exactly what gus is trying to get clarity on we 1034 01:01:23.369 --> 01:01:25.530 talked about in the previous couple of minutes like what 1035 01:01:25.690 --> 01:01:28.429 what exactly does he want here what what is this 1036 01:01:28.489 --> 01:01:31.219 other than a hail mary and here here we get 1037 01:01:31.239 --> 01:01:38.659 his angle sure he's eligible But did he win? Eligible 1038 01:01:38.699 --> 01:01:41.659 means he is in fact eligible to win. So did 1039 01:01:41.699 --> 01:01:46.980 he win? And I think that's not a bad thing 1040 01:01:47.019 --> 01:01:49.739 to seek clarity on. I will say, I'm going to 1041 01:01:49.760 --> 01:01:51.949 bring it back for a second. The jump from the 1042 01:01:52.010 --> 01:01:55.690 first person that he talks to suddenly to then Miss 1043 01:01:55.750 --> 01:02:03.309 Lawton who's dressed identically is kind of confusing. Like I 1044 01:02:03.630 --> 01:02:07.070 get both and miss law and spoilers is going to 1045 01:02:07.110 --> 01:02:09.329 reveal in the next scene that like she's she's also 1046

01:02:09.409 --> 01:02:14.250 not an executive but you don't necessarily like they're dressed 1047 01:02:14.329 --> 01:02:17.829 almost like pages right like like nbc page kind of 1048 01:02:17.849 --> 01:02:24.280 vibes yes yes there's like a weird um uniformity to 1049 01:02:24.300 --> 01:02:27.159 their to their wardrobe to their uniforms where i'm like 1050 01:02:27.260 --> 01:02:30.179 i just don't know if even in late 80s early 1051 01:02:30.579 --> 01:02:36.429 90s that that was standard operating procedure for corporate culture 1052 01:02:36.449 --> 01:02:37.969 like that. I don't know. 1053 01:02:37.989 --> 01:02:43.699 Go back to the other lady? The first lady? 1054 01:02:44.619 --> 01:02:45.440 No, I'm going to. Don't worry. 1055 01:02:46.659 --> 01:02:48.280 Oh, she's got it on her. 1056 01:02:48.719 --> 01:02:50.820 She's got it on her, yeah. 1057 01:02:51.199 --> 01:02:54.079 The other lady's got it wrapped like a mask. 1058 01:02:55.400 --> 01:02:55.599 Yeah. 1059 01:02:56.719 --> 01:02:57.219 Interesting. 1060 01:02:57.800 --> 01:03:01.489 Do you think that's not just the same look but 1061 01:03:01.530 --> 01:03:03.559 the same physical ribbon prop. 1062 01:03:03.579 --> 01:03:03.739 Yes. 1063 01:03:04.000 --> 01:03:05.579 Yeah. I want to talk about this moment. 1064 01:03:05.659 --> 01:03:07.460 All time great moment in. 1065 01:03:07.360 --> 01:03:09.340 The movie when he first steps into the frame. And 1066 01:03:09.480 --> 01:03:10.679 he's like fully silver. 1067 01:03:10.699 --> 01:03:11.400 Yeah, it's very white. 1068 01:03:32.619 --> 01:03:34.579 He looks like Bill and Ted in the second Bill 1069 01:03:34.599 --> 01:03:44.329 and Ted when they're in hell. There's also shots in 1070 01:03:44.530 --> 01:03:49.750 I Saw the TV Glow and the new one, Teenage 1071 01:03:50.230 --> 01:03:52.989 Sex and Death and Camp Miasma, that feel like they 1072 01:03:53.070 --> 01:03:56.230 look like Gus looks in this shot. Here's a shot 1073 01:03:56.289 --> 01:04:01.239 from TV Glow of Fred Durst looking like Gus looks. 1074 01:04:03.480 --> 01:04:03.719 Right? 1075 01:04:03.760 --> 01:04:05.000 Like, same vibe. 1076 01:04:07.880 --> 01:04:12.320 Just, like, you know. Yeah. 1077 01:04:13.559 --> 01:04:14.719 Yeah, very strange. 1078 01:04:17.239 --> 01:04:21.900 Yeah, and I like this lady a lot. This lady's personality. 1079 01:04:21.320 --> 01:04:22.199 Is very interesting. 1080 01:04:22.239 --> 01:04:24.909 Do we think he looks this silver in the previous scene, 1081 01:04:24.969 --> 01:04:27.030 or is this a reset of how silver he looks? 1082 01:04:27.650 --> 01:04:29.670 I think they gave him a real fresh.... 1083 01:04:33.340 --> 01:04:35.800 Less than a minute later, basically not silver. 1084 01:04:36.920 --> 01:04:37.260 You know? 1085 01:04:37.980 --> 01:04:43.480 Boom. 1086 01:04:43.579 --> 01:04:49.659 JC Mike's. Did I win or what? He's the best. 1087 01:04:49.719 --> 01:04:55.639 He's the best. He carries this movie. He truly

can't 1088 01:04:55.699 --> 01:04:59.340 put enough praise on how much Jordan's performance makes this 1089 01:04:59.360 --> 01:05:04.619 movie work straight up. Straight up. He sells all of it. 1090 01:05:08.389 --> 01:05:11.170 Before we know what Motorama is, before we know what 1091 01:05:11.190 --> 01:05:12.829 we're supposed to care about, before we figure out the 1092 01:05:12.869 --> 01:05:15.469 game of the movie, we care about Gus. We're invested 1093 01:05:15.489 --> 01:05:19.530 in Gus's story and Gus's reactions to the world around him. 1094 01:05:19.630 --> 01:05:23.010 Gus tells us, yes, this is a heightened world, but 1095 01:05:23.050 --> 01:05:26.070 these people are absurd, aren't they? He is the straight 1096 01:05:26.110 --> 01:05:28.050 man in this world, even though he's a kid that 1097 01:05:28.070 --> 01:05:33.070 people perceive as adults. but that's so different, that look 1098 01:05:33.840 --> 01:05:34.590 to this look. 1099 01:05:39.409 --> 01:05:40.489 Well, he's not in the door yet. 1100 01:05:44.030 --> 01:05:48.269 I think they just, so either the light or they 1101 01:05:48.289 --> 01:05:50.510 do that fresh makeup job. It was like the first 1102 01:05:50.530 --> 01:05:53.090 shot of the day and it hasn't dusted out yet. 1103 01:05:54.489 --> 01:05:57.659 It just feels like a choice to remind us that, 1104 01:05:59.610 --> 01:06:03.130 She calls him young man. That's also very interesting. She's 1105 01:06:03.230 --> 01:06:05.190 clocking the heat. 1106 01:06:05.230 --> 01:06:10.409 She doesn't need to be told he's a kid. That's 1107 01:06:10.429 --> 01:06:11.630 an interesting choice for sure. 1108 01:06:14.769 --> 01:06:16.969 I just don't know what to make of it. Nick, 1109 01:06:16.989 --> 01:06:18.820 how do you feel about this minute compared to your 1110 01:06:18.840 --> 01:06:19.409 last minute? 1111 01:06:21.599 --> 01:06:24.679 I'm definitely a little bit more aware of what's going 1112 01:06:24.760 --> 01:06:28.880 on now for sure. Quick question for Just to clarify, 1113 01:06:28.900 --> 01:06:32.039 because it has been a little while since I watched. 1114 01:06:32.679 --> 01:06:35.960 In the scenes right before this minute, was he already 1115 01:06:36.039 --> 01:06:40.840 being shown, Gus, as this aged, with the whole gray 1116 01:06:40.900 --> 01:06:42.679 thing going on? Or is this the first time? 1117 01:06:44.570 --> 01:06:47.929 He has been aged, yes. He's gotten this dust that 1118 01:06:47.989 --> 01:06:49.710 is supposed to be what's in his hair that's made 1119 01:06:49.769 --> 01:06:54.030 it turn silver. He has talked to his own reflection 1120 01:06:54.110 --> 01:07:00.219 and seen an old man instead of a kid. So 1121 01:07:00.539 --> 01:07:03.139 it's not really being introduced in this beat, but it's 1122 01:07:03.519 --> 01:07:08.099 being really firmly reestablished, even at the same time as 1123 01:07:08.239 --> 01:07:13.449 her dialogue cuts through that illusion immediately. It's

kind of 1124 01:07:13.489 --> 01:07:16.610 a weird choice in a movie that's full of them. 1125 01:07:17.869 --> 01:07:20.690 Right, right. Yeah, I agree with you. It definitely kind 1126 01:07:20.730 --> 01:07:24.909 of reaffirms it in a way. It kind of drives 1127 01:07:24.949 --> 01:07:28.480 home the point like, he's kind of given up his 1128 01:07:28.920 --> 01:07:32.239 whole childhood for this shit. He's kind of done away 1129 01:07:32.280 --> 01:07:37.969 with any semblance of purity or innocence. He's kind of 1130 01:07:37.989 --> 01:07:41.869 aged past it at this point. And knowing where the 1131 01:07:41.909 --> 01:07:45.510 movie goes from here, I think that kind of reaffirms that. 1132 01:07:45.650 --> 01:07:48.449 And also just from re-watching this minute, I think the 1133 01:07:48.489 --> 01:07:50.750 thing that sticks out to me the most is just 1134 01:07:50.789 --> 01:07:58.019 the kind of patronizing tone that she's talking to him with. Like, oh, 1135 01:07:58.239 --> 01:08:04.070 you got all the letters. It's infuriating. It's what it 1136 01:08:04.130 --> 01:08:07.030 feels like talking to people who are in charge, who 1137 01:08:07.090 --> 01:08:11.239 work for corporations, who are in positions of power. I mean, 1138 01:08:11.280 --> 01:08:14.380 even if she's not an executive, she's in a position 1139 01:08:14.420 --> 01:08:16.020 of power over him in just the way that she 1140 01:08:16.060 --> 01:08:21.840 kind of demeans him. You already know he's not going 1141 01:08:21.859 --> 01:08:23.560 to get this money. They're not going to give him 1142 01:08:23.579 --> 01:08:26.020 this money. Or at least that's how I think I 1143 01:08:26.039 --> 01:08:29.810 was feeling watching this minute for the first time. 1144 01:08:29.930 --> 01:08:31.750 Great minute. 1145 01:08:32.170 --> 01:08:34.430 Is she being condescending? 1146 01:08:34.489 --> 01:08:37.630 Does she actually see him as an older guy, but 1147 01:08:37.670 --> 01:08:40.529 she's just being condescending? 1148 01:08:40.550 --> 01:08:41.470 You're the young man? 1149 01:08:41.489 --> 01:08:43.159 She's being a shit? 1150 01:08:44.340 --> 01:08:44.760 I don't know. 1151 01:08:45.899 --> 01:08:52.000 That's interesting. I just to be like you there's there 1152 01:08:52.119 --> 01:08:56.729 there's nothing to suggest that's not necessarily the case you 1153 01:08:56.770 --> 01:09:02.189 know right so you i think It's an alternative read, 1154 01:09:02.210 --> 01:09:05.210 but I don't think it's one that I dislike. Let's 1155 01:09:05.250 --> 01:09:09.430 talk about the book of mugshots of the fucking gas 1156 01:09:09.449 --> 01:09:10.449 station attendants. 1157 01:09:11.680 --> 01:09:22.979 Bizarre. A real choice. archive of all of the attendance. 1158 01:09:23.020 --> 01:09:23.979 Can we go to that spot? 1159 01:09:24.800 --> 01:09:25.220 Yeah, yeah. 1160 01:09:25.239 --> 01:09:25.899 Let's go look at that. 1161 01:09:25.920 --> 01:09:26.819 Can I just flash it? 1162

01:09:33.060 --> 01:09:34.460 And it's a quick beat to. 1163 01:09:34.359 --> 01:09:34.880 Have all that. 1164 01:09:36.560 --> 01:09:40.130 She has this full photo album. Cataloged photo album. 1165 01:09:44.369 --> 01:09:47.729 Yeah, they're literally forward and sideways. 1166 01:09:49.489 --> 01:09:55.699 With like a serial number. Security. And he's not. He 1167 01:09:55.720 --> 01:09:59.000 doesn't even stop to answer. He does say like. Why 1168 01:09:59.039 --> 01:10:02.899 would I know where the R came from. Which is interesting. 1169 01:10:04.159 --> 01:10:04.899 And she's right. 1170 01:10:06.420 --> 01:10:07.060 It is. 1171 01:10:08.859 --> 01:10:12.300 To some extent. An admission on their part. And it's 1172 01:10:12.340 --> 01:10:13.939 the only thing that the movie even does. I think 1173 01:10:13.960 --> 01:10:14.420 to really. 1174 01:10:14.439 --> 01:10:17.119 Ascribe. 1175 01:10:17.880 --> 01:10:23.210 Anything other than like. a passive banality of evil to 1176 01:10:23.229 --> 01:10:26.409 the chimaera gas company here it is like she's giving 1177 01:10:26.449 --> 01:10:29.869 the game away they deliberately make the r hard to 1178 01:10:29.989 --> 01:10:33.689 find it could be any you know she could she 1179 01:10:33.729 --> 01:10:36.390 could ask where did you find each each letter she's 1180 01:10:36.449 --> 01:10:38.890 telling him how the fuck you get that r no 1181 01:10:38.909 --> 01:10:40.970 one's supposed to get the r That's why he's like, 1182 01:10:41.170 --> 01:10:43.310 I'm not going to tell you. If she didn't lead 1183 01:10:43.369 --> 01:10:45.909 the witness, maybe he tells her, I got one from him. 1184 01:10:46.170 --> 01:10:47.770 I got one from him. I got one from him. 1185 01:10:47.829 --> 01:10:49.590 Because he's a 10-year-old boy. He's not going to think 1186 01:10:49.609 --> 01:10:52.069 about that like that way. She presents it like it's 1187 01:10:52.109 --> 01:10:53.189 a fucking police lineup. 1188 01:10:53.810 --> 01:10:54.029 Right. 1189 01:10:56.600 --> 01:10:58.119 Why did that book already exist? 1190 01:10:58.739 --> 01:11:00.479 She could have gotten what she wanted. 1191 01:11:00.779 --> 01:11:06.319 She was too impatient. 1192 01:11:06.659 --> 01:11:10.869 Yeah, I mean, I love this movie. I love how 1193 01:11:10.930 --> 01:11:16.489 much the Chimera Gas Company headquarters sequences expand the scope 1194 01:11:16.510 --> 01:11:19.289 of what we think this world is. And to meet 1195 01:11:19.430 --> 01:11:24.430 other adults who pretty much exist in a different social 1196 01:11:24.470 --> 01:11:31.819 stratus than anybody we've met so far. Striking stuff. 1197 01:11:32.680 --> 01:11:33.020 For sure. 1198 01:11:34.100 --> 01:11:35.899 This is the rigging. 1199 01:11:40.439 --> 01:11:42.699 Shown very clearly. 1200 01:11:43.760 --> 01:11:47.260 Yes, I agree. Do we want to do the water break? 1201 01:11:48.260 --> 01:11:49.680 Sure, we can do the water break. 1202 01:11:51.340 --> 01:11:57.340 Nick, we're going to watch at maybe a little slower 1203 01:11:57.359 --> 01:12:00.500 speed to decide. 1204 01:12:01.319 --> 01:12:04.670 Which moment our main character Gus should take a sip 1205 01:12:04.710 --> 01:12:05.170 of water. 1206 01:12:05.189 --> 01:12:08.750 Because water is good for the body. 1207 01:12:09.560 --> 01:12:10.479 I remember the segment. 1208 01:12:12.779 --> 01:12:13.399 That's excellent. 1209 01:12:13.420 --> 01:12:15.260 So we have done a good job of finding the 1210 01:12:15.319 --> 01:12:18.050 moments in each of these minutes. So I bet we'll 1211 01:12:18.060 --> 01:12:18.689 find one today. 1212 01:12:21.590 --> 01:12:22.869 Could be right at the beginning here. 1213 01:12:24.510 --> 01:12:36.159 He comes in. He comes in so dramatically, so slowly. Yeah, 1214 01:12:36.180 --> 01:12:38.539 he could like down and crush a water bottle as 1215 01:12:38.579 --> 01:12:39.189 he's walking up. 1216 01:12:41.319 --> 01:12:42.119 Puts it on the counter. 1217 01:12:43.180 --> 01:12:47.750 Watching this without any audio, Gus's body language is he's 1218 01:12:47.789 --> 01:12:49.569 there for a fucking showdown. 1219 01:12:50.250 --> 01:12:51.869 Yeah, yeah. Final boss fight. 1220 01:12:55.310 --> 01:12:58.270 Watching just the body language, it actually doesn't surprise me 1221 01:12:58.550 --> 01:13:01.489 one iota that the second he has the chance to 1222 01:13:01.560 --> 01:13:02.840 just fucking go past this. 1223 01:13:02.760 --> 01:13:03.359 Lady, he does. 1224 01:13:03.920 --> 01:13:06.340 Look, he looks. He's already looking. He's like, I'm going 1225 01:13:06.359 --> 01:13:08.619 to go that way. I'm going to run that way? Okay. 1226 01:13:08.640 --> 01:13:08.819 Mm-hmm. 1227 01:13:09.279 --> 01:13:11.020 She puts the book in front of him. He's like, 1228 01:13:11.140 --> 01:13:15.460 what is this book? She goes, it's a book of mugshots. 1229 01:13:18.239 --> 01:13:26.810 And then he's... As soon as she looks away, he's gone. 1230 01:13:32.149 --> 01:13:34.670 And then he's immediately encountering Miss Lawton. I actually think 1231 01:13:34.710 --> 01:13:36.909 there's kind of just that one window as he's walking up. 1232 01:13:37.710 --> 01:13:38.930 Crunch the water. 1233 01:13:40.229 --> 01:13:43.430 Yeah, he wouldn't do it then. Yeah, I would say 1234 01:13:43.449 --> 01:13:45.310 at the beginning. 1235 01:13:45.329 --> 01:13:49.069 Yeah, I would say maybe right when he walks into Ms. 1236 01:13:49.090 --> 01:13:53.289 Lawton's office. That's a good moment. He's starting to realize 1237 01:13:53.350 --> 01:13:56.229 that they have been making this difficult for him. They 1238 01:13:56.250 --> 01:13:58.569 don't want to give him the money. Just like, I 1239 01:13:58.600 --> 01:14:00.260 need to drink some water. I need to take a break. 1240 01:14:00.640 --> 01:14:04.920 Spits it out. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I. 1241 01:14:08.159 --> 01:14:10.239 I think a spit take is always a great option 1242

01:14:10.260 --> 01:14:15.159 for the water break. I think if we, if we 1243 01:14:15.199 --> 01:14:17.279 went back and looked at and made the version of 1244 01:14:17.300 --> 01:14:20.600 the movie where Gus is, you know, making sure that 1245 01:14:20.619 --> 01:14:23.550 he's hydrated every minute. So a lot of spit takes 1246 01:14:24.529 --> 01:14:26.430 a lot of spit takes a lot of crushing a 1247 01:14:26.590 --> 01:14:31.409 bottle or smashing a glass. Last week we had like 1248 01:14:31.430 --> 01:14:32.930 one of those like little Dixie cups from like a 1249 01:14:32.970 --> 01:14:37.350 water cooler that he would crunch. I believe crunching. 1250 01:14:39.109 --> 01:14:40.010 Crushing, crunching. 1251 01:14:42.689 --> 01:14:44.090 Is there anything else that we want to say about 1252 01:14:44.170 --> 01:14:48.609 minute 73 of Motorama? Um, I mean, we taught, we technically, 1253 01:14:48.640 --> 01:14:50.359 we did fit check pit stop. We talked about the 1254 01:14:50.399 --> 01:14:52.640 two ladies, uh, wearing the same outfit. So we'll count 1255 01:14:52.659 --> 01:14:57.680 that for a little McDonald's. It is. It very much is, 1256 01:14:57.720 --> 01:14:59.539 especially in the nineties where they were like a little 1257 01:14:59.560 --> 01:15:02.210 bit more like they would try to dress upscale. 1258 01:15:02.529 --> 01:15:03.329 Fancy. Yeah. 1259 01:15:03.369 --> 01:15:03.510 Right. 1260 01:15:03.770 --> 01:15:04.609 Not now. Yeah. 1261 01:15:06.949 --> 01:15:09.229 Um, Okay, so as we come to the end of 1262 01:15:09.260 --> 01:15:12.539 the discussion on this particular minute, Nick, what I want 1263 01:15:12.579 --> 01:15:16.199 to know is, what would you give minute 73 out 1264 01:15:16.220 --> 01:15:21.380 of 5? What do you think happens in minute 74? 1265 01:15:21.380 --> 01:15:23.800 And if you had only seen this minute, would it 1266 01:15:23.840 --> 01:15:25.220 make you want to watch the whole movie? 1267 01:15:28.119 --> 01:15:33.739 Let's see. Out of 5, I'll start there. 1268 01:15:34.159 --> 01:15:37.979 I'd give this minute probably a solid 4 out of 5. 1269 01:15:38.670 --> 01:15:40.949 Um, I think it kind of sets up some of 1270 01:15:40.989 --> 01:15:46.029 the future reveals that are coming, um, as the reality 1271 01:15:46.060 --> 01:15:48.409 of what's happening kind of is unfolded to guests, um, 1272 01:15:48.859 --> 01:15:51.560 quite well. Um, it kind of, it kind of paints 1273 01:15:51.600 --> 01:15:54.819 the picture of the Chimera gas company as a bit 1274 01:15:54.859 --> 01:15:59.300 sinister and manipulative. Um, so I'd say it's all four 1275 01:15:59.319 --> 01:16:03.920 to five for sure. Um, and then if I had 1276 01:16:04.180 --> 01:16:09.779 only seen that minute of the movie, um, would it 1277 01:16:09.819 --> 01:16:14.239 make me excited to watch the rest of the movie? Um, yeah, 1278 01:16:14.319 --> 01:16:19.350 for sure. Particularly because of that scene, um, where he, 1279 01:16:19.890 --> 01:16:21.630 what's another one of those moments where Gus is kind 1280 01:16:21.649 --> 01:16:25.420 of talking to, uh, kind of speaking like an adult, not, 1281 01:16:25.479 --> 01:16:28.659 not a kid. And he's like, um, you know, I 1282 01:16:28.680 --> 01:16:30.020 cut the shit lady. Like, did I win? 1283 01:16:30.039 --> 01:16:34.039 You know, like what, I think that is definitely compelling. 1284 01:16:34.100 --> 01:16:36.819 That's funny. And seeing that for the first time would 1285 01:16:36.840 --> 01:16:39.899 make me wonder, why is this kid so rambunctious and 1286 01:16:39.939 --> 01:16:42.100 why is his face so busted up? I want to 1287 01:16:42.119 --> 01:16:42.600 watch more. 1288 01:16:42.989 --> 01:16:45.289 So I'd say, yeah, I would continue watching. 1289 01:16:46.390 --> 01:16:50.550 It's interesting that even 73 minutes into an 86-minute movie, 1290 01:16:50.689 --> 01:16:54.689 so we're right at the tail end, right? It's still jarring. 1291 01:16:55.010 --> 01:16:57.579 It still has a visceral effect when that 10-year-old kid 1292 01:16:57.619 --> 01:17:00.840 just curses without missing a beat, without being like, ooh, 1293 01:17:01.000 --> 01:17:01.260 I'm done. 1294 01:17:02.010 --> 01:17:02.229 Right. 1295 01:17:03.090 --> 01:17:04.810 Like that's how he's talking every day of his life. 1296 01:17:05.189 --> 01:17:09.220 And like, I, I even grew up in an environment 1297 01:17:10.100 --> 01:17:12.239 where like, that's how the adults around me spoke. That's 1298 01:17:12.260 --> 01:17:15.760 how kids around me spoke. It wasn't like a crazy thing, 1299 01:17:17.020 --> 01:17:20.420 but it was rarely how kids and adults spoke to 1300 01:17:20.460 --> 01:17:25.020 each other. And it was never how kids spoke on screen. 1301 01:17:25.619 --> 01:17:29.939 And that is a real, like there's something so visceral 1302 01:17:29.979 --> 01:17:35.220 about that, that like, It actually makes me go, okay, 1303 01:17:35.439 --> 01:17:37.300 I do think if you were to make this movie today, 1304 01:17:39.399 --> 01:17:45.159 with today's climate, socially we'll say, that is the main thing. 1305 01:17:45.560 --> 01:17:48.479 This kid's going to do all this adult stuff. It 1306 01:17:48.520 --> 01:17:54.630 becomes more of a big analog than the actual original 1307 01:17:54.649 --> 01:17:59.329 Motorama really is. And I don't know if that's good 1308 01:17:59.369 --> 01:18:01.289 or bad, to be honest. 1309 01:18:04.029 --> 01:18:06.069 And if you didn't want it to become like Good 1310 01:18:06.130 --> 01:18:07.369 Boys or something like that. 1311 01:18:08.310 --> 01:18:10.430 Yeah, yeah. Fucking hated that movie. 1312 01:18:10.970 --> 01:18:11.409 No offense. 1313 01:18:12.430 --> 01:18:14.970 No offense to the Good Boys. I think I'm on 1314 01:18:14.989 --> 01:18:19.409 the record as a hater of that movie. Certainly I 1315 01:18:19.510 --> 01:18:22.010 am now. It wasn't for me. 1316 01:18:26.609 --> 01:18:27.020 Exactly. 1317

01:18:27.060 --> 01:18:34.350 When I saw it pre-pandemic in... Where was I? Somewhere 1318 01:18:34.390 --> 01:18:38.439 in New Jersey, somewhere in North Jersey, I saw it. 1319 01:18:39.460 --> 01:18:44.899 I'll be very honest, was upset that I was in 1320 01:18:44.920 --> 01:18:47.109 the movie theater seeing a movie I was not enjoying. 1321 01:18:47.850 --> 01:18:49.989 But there were kids there who did seem to like it. 1322 01:18:50.199 --> 01:18:50.279 It. 1323 01:18:50.340 --> 01:18:53.199 So I went, all right, this is for them. 1324 01:18:53.779 --> 01:18:54.659 It's really good boys. 1325 01:18:56.039 --> 01:18:56.220 Yeah. 1326 01:18:56.619 --> 01:19:01.340 Shout out to those good boys. And, and I would 1327 01:19:01.380 --> 01:19:03.680 say thank you, Nick, for being a, giving a good 1328 01:19:03.739 --> 01:19:05.909 score of four out of five, which I think is 1329 01:19:06.050 --> 01:19:10.430 pretty befitting for minute 73. Steve, your final thoughts and 1330 01:19:10.470 --> 01:19:11.590 score for minute 73? 1331 01:19:11.590 --> 01:19:28.199 I'm going to say four stars as well because I like. 1332 01:19:30.239 --> 01:19:31.960 I wish there was a little bit more of a 1333 01:19:32.039 --> 01:19:36.750 scene between this lady, the secretary lady and him. 1334 01:19:37.600 --> 01:19:39.520 I wish that scene went on just a little bit longer. 1335 01:19:39.539 --> 01:19:41.479 We get out of that scene pretty fast. I want 1336 01:19:41.520 --> 01:19:48.420 more info on what these fucking mugshots mean and stuff. 1337 01:19:48.500 --> 01:19:51.409 It seems like a pretty big prop for them because 1338 01:19:51.449 --> 01:19:53.510 I don't think they're going to go back to. 1339 01:19:53.470 --> 01:19:54.109 That at all. 1340 01:19:54.550 --> 01:19:56.010 I don't think so either. 1341 01:19:57.050 --> 01:20:01.090 Which is not for a laugh. It's just for some 1342 01:20:01.130 --> 01:20:05.819 sort of insight into this office. I don't think that's 1343 01:20:05.859 --> 01:20:10.869 ever going to come up again. It's just an interesting explanation. 1344 01:20:10.890 --> 01:20:14.010 So I'm deducting a point from that. 1345 01:20:14.170 --> 01:20:15.989 And again, to get ahead of the movie a little bit, 1346 01:20:16.090 --> 01:20:19.609 there is the opportunity for that beat to be reintroducing Phil, 1347 01:20:20.729 --> 01:20:23.210 our primary gas station attendant, who is going to be 1348 01:20:23.270 --> 01:20:27.000 reappearing in the next 13 minutes of the movie. It 1349 01:20:27.020 --> 01:20:30.079 has not come up since his earlier scene, John Deal. 1350 01:20:30.399 --> 01:20:33.899 So there's an opportunity to show us his picture, even 1351 01:20:33.939 --> 01:20:36.720 just to remind us that that's an extant character, right? 1352 01:20:37.739 --> 01:20:39.840 They don't take it. They weren't the ones that he 1353 01:20:39.880 --> 01:20:42.939 went to necessarily. That would be pretty convenient, I guess. 1354 01:20:43.060 --> 01:20:45.960 But I don't know. It depends how, like, if they 1355 01:20:46.000 --> 01:20:50.079 are tracking people. Maybe if she knows. I don't know. 1356 01:20:51.300 --> 01:20:55.319 That she interacted. He interacted. I'm not sure. 1357 01:20:56.300 --> 01:20:59.659 It's strange that it's like current information. It seems like 1358 01:20:59.680 --> 01:21:01.680 they're updating this fucking scrapbook. 1359 01:21:02.640 --> 01:21:02.939 I guess. 1360 01:21:04.380 --> 01:21:08.460 But the game itself is treated like this outdated thing 1361 01:21:08.479 --> 01:21:12.210 that's like, oh yeah, we used to do Motorama. I 1362 01:21:12.289 --> 01:21:16.289 imagine this is the first and only person probably to 1363 01:21:16.350 --> 01:21:20.529 bring up Motorama at their offices. Probably for some of 1364 01:21:20.550 --> 01:21:22.130 these people, the entire time they've worked there. 1365 01:21:23.770 --> 01:21:25.489 Maybe, yeah. 1366 01:21:25.510 --> 01:21:30.569 They're a gas company. Think of like fucking Shell or BP. 1367 01:21:31.819 --> 01:21:34.680 They don't give a fuck about one promotion they did 1368 01:21:34.699 --> 01:21:38.060 a long time ago. They'd go, what are you talking about? 1369 01:21:41.470 --> 01:21:41.739 True. 1370 01:21:43.609 --> 01:21:50.970 I also feel like they would... I don't know. It's 1371 01:21:50.989 --> 01:21:54.050 weird because they pretty automatically nobody's talking about. 1372 01:21:54.130 --> 01:21:55.050 It's not like, what? 1373 01:21:59.430 --> 01:22:11.760 It feels like maybe they're on alert. So that by 1374 01:22:11.800 --> 01:22:13.680 the time Gus gets to their floor, they're aware, hey, 1375 01:22:13.699 --> 01:22:16.149 there's this kid calling who says he's got all the pieces. 1376 01:22:16.239 --> 01:22:20.029 And they're like, oh, fuck. Yeah, they have a little 1377 01:22:20.050 --> 01:22:21.689 bit of time to prepare for him is the thing. 1378 01:22:22.090 --> 01:22:26.850 Which adds to the challenging levels of artifice where like, 1379 01:22:27.449 --> 01:22:31.590 We know they can tell him anything. They have control 1380 01:22:31.630 --> 01:22:33.350 over the image and the brand and what they want 1381 01:22:33.369 --> 01:22:36.909 to message out to this kid. He didn't understand what 1382 01:22:36.930 --> 01:22:40.489 the fucking word eligible meant until two minutes ago. So 1383 01:22:41.020 --> 01:22:45.239 he's no longer this super reliable narrator. We have to 1384 01:22:45.340 --> 01:22:48.659 assume this corporation is going to do everything they can 1385 01:22:48.779 --> 01:22:56.859 to stop him. And I think they thought it was done. 1386 01:22:58.149 --> 01:22:59.989 But then he's hopping up and down and he's running 1387 01:23:00.029 --> 01:23:04.539 around all the floors. I wish there was a specific 1388 01:23:04.640 --> 01:23:09.619 thing he was trying to get. Being declared a winner 1389 01:23:09.699 --> 01:23:12.619 and given the money is harder to. 1390 01:23:13.920

--> 01:23:14.500 Imagine. 1391 01:23:15.640 --> 01:23:15.960 You know? 1392 01:23:17.689 --> 01:23:19.810 That's why the mother prizes. At least he could have 1393 01:23:19.829 --> 01:23:20.649 gotten something else. 1394 01:23:21.829 --> 01:23:23.729 He could have gotten a new car. It would actually 1395 01:23:23.750 --> 01:23:24.989 be amazing if he got a new car. 1396 01:23:27.850 --> 01:23:30.149 Car hasn't been in the movie for a minute, but 1397 01:23:30.229 --> 01:23:31.630 there it goes. It's worth $ 500 million. 1398 01:23:31.649 --> 01:23:36.710 I'm going to say also four stars. I like this minute. 1399 01:23:36.729 --> 01:23:37.510 It's not perfect. 1400 01:23:37.529 --> 01:23:38.520 I like a lot of it. 1401 01:23:57.770 --> 01:24:00.109 It's interesting that the first woman that he interacts with 1402 01:24:00.229 --> 01:24:04.550 is not Miss Lawton. That confused me on this rewatch. 1403 01:24:08.050 --> 01:24:10.760 But I think what the beat is setting up is 1404 01:24:10.770 --> 01:24:13.159 so that there's at least that little tiny bit of 1405 01:24:13.220 --> 01:24:16.720 surprise when Miss Lawton reveals, I'm also like an assistant. 1406 01:24:16.779 --> 01:24:21.039 I'm a secretary or it's like, we think like Gus, 1407 01:24:21.359 --> 01:24:23.279 but she must be the person that's a big deal. 1408 01:24:23.300 --> 01:24:25.880 Cause he called her on the phone, her name's on 1409 01:24:25.920 --> 01:24:30.029 the directory and, he ran past the secretary to her 1410 01:24:30.170 --> 01:24:31.850 office but then she and it could even be a 1411 01:24:31.869 --> 01:24:34.569 lie that she's like i have no power here we 1412 01:24:34.590 --> 01:24:36.170 don't know we haven't even we haven't really gotten to 1413 01:24:36.210 --> 01:24:40.210 see her yet that'll be next week um but it's 1414 01:24:40.329 --> 01:24:44.229 interesting it's that starting to put faces to the people 1415 01:24:44.270 --> 01:24:49.500 behind the chimera gas company and gus being perceived as 1416 01:24:49.539 --> 01:24:51.500 a child but also then cutting right back to the 1417 01:24:51.539 --> 01:24:53.020 core of what we love about him which is that 1418 01:24:53.079 --> 01:24:57.289 he is this badass he will curse he's not here 1419 01:24:57.369 --> 01:24:59.689 to conform to what we expect a 10 year old 1420 01:24:59.750 --> 01:25:02.989 to to be like everything i love about this movie 1421 01:25:03.670 --> 01:25:05.890 is in this minute so uh i think four out 1422 01:25:05.909 --> 01:25:09.949 of five is pretty valiant score before we move to 1423 01:25:10.149 --> 01:25:14.520 our our last segment we're gonna do our letterboxd review 1424 01:25:14.529 --> 01:25:18.020 of the week now last week i did um three 1425 01:25:20.220 --> 01:25:25.329 i did three of these I'm getting so much fucking feedback. 1426 01:25:25.449 --> 01:25:28.609 I'm sure it's been going the whole episode, but it's rough. 1427 01:25:30.560 --> 01:25:35.180 These Letterboxd reviews are... We've got three this week, too. 1428 01:25:35.239 --> 01:25:37.460 It's still... I don't know what it is. Is it me? 1429 01:25:40.659 --> 01:25:45.720 Three reviews that I think absolutely all get to what 1430 01:25:45.760 --> 01:25:49.909 we love about this movie. The first is from KJDS. 1431 01:25:51.920 --> 01:25:57.300 son who watched the movie March 2nd, 2021 three and 1432 01:25:57.319 --> 01:26:03.010 a half stars, nine likes. Remember the beginning of Willy 1433 01:26:03.029 --> 01:26:05.970 Wonka where Charlie is desperately searching for that golden ticket 1434 01:26:05.989 --> 01:26:08.970 to get into the famed chocolate factory. Imagine if that 1435 01:26:09.010 --> 01:26:12.350 was an R rated twisted, fantastical road trip filled with 1436 01:26:12.449 --> 01:26:16.680 wild moments and character actors. That's a great pitch for 1437 01:26:16.699 --> 01:26:19.819 this movie. I think that's exactly what this movie is. Um, 1438 01:26:21.600 --> 01:26:23.399 Three and a half stars, I think, was what we 1439 01:26:23.439 --> 01:26:25.199 want for this movie. We're trying to get it to 1440 01:26:25.220 --> 01:26:29.720 that 3.5. But I would say K.J. Deason, get it up. 1441 01:26:30.350 --> 01:26:32.470 Go to five stars so you can help raise the. 1442 01:26:32.689 --> 01:26:34.289 It doesn't move the needle very much. 1443 01:26:35.270 --> 01:26:41.289 Exactly. Teriyaki Kush watched the movie on March 4th, 2021. 1444 01:26:41.289 --> 01:26:41.890 Five stars. 1445 01:26:41.989 --> 01:26:42.250 Heart. 1446 01:26:42.789 --> 01:26:46.770 Teriyaki Kush just writes, I have no words. And sometimes 1447 01:26:47.810 --> 01:26:50.689 that's how the movie has you feel. And then we've 1448 01:26:50.710 --> 01:26:53.930 got one more review this week. This is from Slacker561. 1449 01:26:54.470 --> 01:26:58.439 Also watched the movie March 4th, 2021. Maybe watched it 1450 01:26:58.479 --> 01:27:03.359 with Teriyaki Kush. Five stars heart. This is what movies 1451 01:27:03.439 --> 01:27:04.640 are supposed to be like. 1452 01:27:06.699 --> 01:27:07.960 I agree. 1453 01:27:08.439 --> 01:27:14.069 So those are our Letterboxd reviews of the week. We 1454 01:27:14.090 --> 01:27:16.750 have one more segment and that is called That Was 1455 01:27:16.930 --> 01:27:20.359 R Slash Weird where I've got I've got some weird stuff. 1456 01:27:20.439 --> 01:27:22.800 I've got some strange stuff. We're going to decide if 1457 01:27:22.960 --> 01:27:27.850 any of these are worth going down the rabbit hole. First, 1458 01:27:32.590 --> 01:27:35.369 the strangest phone call of my life and I never 1459 01:27:35.470 --> 01:27:40.890 found out why it happened. Second, I might have to 1460 01:27:40.970 --> 01:27:49.029 drop my client after today. Third, weirdest thing recently. And fourth, 1461 01:27:49.229 --> 01:27:53.689 I think my house is haunted by a chatty movie nerd. 1462 01:27:58.199 --> 01:27:59.460 Do any of those sound appealing? 1463 01:28:01.460

--> 01:28:01.979 I love that. 1464 01:28:02.000 --> 01:28:05.399 A chatty movie nerd. Yeah, that caught my attention as well, 1465 01:28:05.420 --> 01:28:06.359 the chatty movie nerd. 1466 01:28:07.840 --> 01:28:11.779 Okay, so this was posted three days ago to Our Paranormal. 1467 01:28:12.569 --> 01:28:15.369 It's a little bit of a long one, but it's 1468 01:28:15.430 --> 01:28:17.869 a main post and an update. So here's the original post. 1469 01:28:20.220 --> 01:28:22.159 I've had a bunch of weird things happen in this 1470 01:28:22.199 --> 01:28:24.810 home before, but what went down last night was easily 1471 01:28:24.850 --> 01:28:29.729 the most consistent and confusing experience yet. So last night 1472 01:28:29.770 --> 01:28:31.869 I was home alone and around 10 p.m. I heard 1473 01:28:31.909 --> 01:28:35.010 this weird rustling noise coming from the living room. My 1474 01:28:35.069 --> 01:28:37.350 first thought was that a balloon my mom brought over 1475 01:28:37.409 --> 01:28:39.979 to celebrate my recent engagement was floating into the sky. 1476 01:28:40.079 --> 01:28:43.960 ceiling fan or something. I went to check. The balloon 1477 01:28:44.000 --> 01:28:49.350 was fine, chilling peacefully in the corner. And the noise stopped. 1478 01:28:50.689 --> 01:28:52.090 Okay. Whatever. 1479 01:28:52.890 --> 01:28:57.369 Probably just my imagination. I went back to my bedroom, 1480 01:28:57.409 --> 01:29:00.409 flash forward to around midnight. I can't sleep, so I 1481 01:29:00.449 --> 01:29:03.180 head to the kitchen to grab some apple juice. Ozzy, 1482 01:29:03.409 --> 01:29:06.560 my cat, is right there by my feet, and suddenly 1483 01:29:06.739 --> 01:29:10.680 we both hear what sounds like the cat door flapping. 1484 01:29:12.039 --> 01:29:15.659 I instantly think, oh shit, a raccoon is trying to 1485 01:29:15.699 --> 01:29:19.409 break in. I flip on the lights and the sound stops. 1486 01:29:20.050 --> 01:29:21.789 I stand there, wait a few minutes, and the noise 1487 01:29:21.810 --> 01:29:24.989 starts up again, so I cautiously creep over to check 1488 01:29:25.029 --> 01:29:27.720 it out. The cat door isn't moving at all, but 1489 01:29:27.760 --> 01:29:32.939 now the noise is non-stop. No pauses. No breaks. Just 1490 01:29:33.729 --> 01:29:39.289 continuous clanking. I look around the room and I finally 1491 01:29:39.350 --> 01:29:45.689 spot the source. It's my DVD player. Repeatedly opening and closing. 1492 01:29:46.430 --> 01:29:52.560 Opening and closing. Opening and closing. To make it weirder, 1493 01:29:53.920 --> 01:29:57.989 the movie Dead Poets Society is sitting in the tray. 1494 01:30:00.029 --> 01:30:06.390 I don't even own that movie. I check to see 1495 01:30:06.449 --> 01:30:08.210 if something is leaning against the button. 1496 01:30:09.020 --> 01:30:09.229 No. 1497 01:30:10.000 --> 01:30:12.939 I power it off, but it forces itself open. A 1498 01:30:12.979 --> 01:30:14.899 few seconds later, it turns itself

right back on and 1499 01:30:14.920 --> 01:30:18.300 displays again. This time, the digital display screen does not 1500 01:30:18.359 --> 01:30:21.119 cycle through its normal hello and go to the button labels. 1501 01:30:21.649 --> 01:30:28.699 It just stays frozen on hello. Freaky, but it's an 1502 01:30:28.779 --> 01:30:35.159 old machine, so I figured it's just short-circuiting. I reach 1503 01:30:35.199 --> 01:30:42.430 behind it to unplug it. It's not even plugged in. Okay, nope, 1504 01:30:42.510 --> 01:30:45.060 I'm done. Every light in the house comes back on 1505 01:30:45.100 --> 01:30:47.729 and stays on. I bolt back into my room, and 1506 01:30:47.770 --> 01:30:50.149 I start typing this out to my sister. The room 1507 01:30:50.210 --> 01:30:54.430 is completely silent. The TV is off. Ozzy is not meowing, 1508 01:30:54.930 --> 01:30:59.090 and he isn't even in the room with me. Out 1509 01:30:59.119 --> 01:31:03.430 of absolutely nowhere, my Google speaker speaks up in the 1510 01:31:03.449 --> 01:31:08.170 dark and says, good evening. Nope. 1511 01:31:08.430 --> 01:31:08.689 Fuck. 1512 01:31:08.930 --> 01:31:09.149 Nope. 1513 01:31:09.550 --> 01:31:12.800 Get me some sage and call the damn priest. So 1514 01:31:12.840 --> 01:31:14.760 before we get to the update, that's the original post. 1515 01:31:15.479 --> 01:31:18.800 This was posted to our paranormal. Do we think this 1516 01:31:18.880 --> 01:31:19.319 is paranormal? 1517 01:31:21.880 --> 01:31:22.859 Do we think this is paranormal? 1518 01:31:24.659 --> 01:31:26.270 Do we think this is paranormal? Steve is saying no. 1519 01:31:29.699 --> 01:31:33.529 If the story is true, I would say yes. And 1520 01:31:33.550 --> 01:31:35.649 I would go further than to say maybe it's not 1521 01:31:35.689 --> 01:31:40.210 just a chatty movie fan. Maybe it is the ghost 1522 01:31:40.289 --> 01:31:42.130 of the late Robin Williams himself. 1523 01:31:42.869 --> 01:31:43.930 Oh, fuck. 1524 01:31:43.949 --> 01:31:45.489 Okay, Dead Robin Society. 1525 01:31:45.930 --> 01:31:49.260 Dead Robin. I believe it. 1526 01:31:50.470 --> 01:31:52.750 Someone says it's a sign that someone wants you to 1527 01:31:52.810 --> 01:31:56.710 watch that movie. Why do you automatically assume it's something evil? 1528 01:31:56.989 --> 01:31:58.789 Maybe it's a dead relative trying to help you realize 1529 01:31:58.810 --> 01:32:01.770 something important. The paranormal is all around us all the time. 1530 01:32:02.069 --> 01:32:04.710 Most people just don't experience it. It's funny how just 1531 01:32:04.810 --> 01:32:09.449 being made aware of it automatically makes people suspicious. Perhaps 1532 01:32:09.470 --> 01:32:12.550 that's a knee-jerk reaction from watching too many horror movies 1533 01:32:12.970 --> 01:32:17.550 or reading too many scary ghost stories. And OP says, okay, 1534 01:32:17.869 --> 01:32:20.369 I don't think it's evil. Just scared the shit out 1535 01:32:20.390 --> 01:32:22.010 of me and I

don't have any dead relatives. I 1536 01:32:22.050 --> 01:32:24.739 really knew. I also grew up in a pretty notoriously 1537 01:32:24.779 --> 01:32:27.720 haunted place, so I'm no stranger to things going bump 1538 01:32:27.760 --> 01:32:30.199 in the night. Last night, it was just a new 1539 01:32:30.239 --> 01:32:32.960 level of, hey, look at me, that I couldn't explain. 1540 01:32:34.460 --> 01:32:37.140 Someone says, play the movie the next time you leave 1541 01:32:37.180 --> 01:32:40.899 the house. It won't hurt. Maybe it brings more peace 1542 01:32:40.920 --> 01:32:44.699 to the house. Say out loud, if it wants to 1543 01:32:44.770 --> 01:32:49.090 watch a movie, to put it in the tray. I've 1544 01:32:49.130 --> 01:32:51.989 lived with ghosts. It's weird to try to explain this 1545 01:32:52.029 --> 01:32:54.890 to skeptics. I sometimes yell out if I get scared, 1546 01:32:55.189 --> 01:32:57.350 but on the whole, I leave it alone if it 1547 01:32:57.409 --> 01:33:01.270 doesn't do any damage. If it does do damage, sage 1548 01:33:01.310 --> 01:33:05.550 the house. OP says, genuinely a great idea. I'll give 1549 01:33:05.590 --> 01:33:08.470 it a try. I really think whatever it is in 1550 01:33:08.510 --> 01:33:12.800 my house just wants to hang out and watch the movie. 1551 01:33:14.180 --> 01:33:16.460 So now, do we want to hear the update? 1552 01:33:19.340 --> 01:33:19.520 Yes. 1553 01:33:20.829 --> 01:33:21.170 Update. 1554 01:33:21.350 --> 01:33:25.069 First off, y'all are hilarious. Now here's the update because 1555 01:33:25.109 --> 01:33:29.880 apparently I have a new roommate. I got home around 1556 01:33:29.880 --> 01:33:31.680 630 last night and I called my fiance as soon 1557 01:33:31.720 --> 01:33:33.960 as I walked through the door. A few minutes later 1558 01:33:34.000 --> 01:33:35.800 into the call, I walk over to the DVD player 1559 01:33:35.859 --> 01:33:39.579 and notice that it's still on somehow displaying a timestamp 1560 01:33:39.619 --> 01:33:44.199 of four minutes, 47 seconds, which was exactly how long 1561 01:33:44.239 --> 01:33:46.279 I'd been on the phone at that point. 1562 01:33:46.350 --> 01:33:47.050 Oh my God. 1563 01:33:48.130 --> 01:33:51.529 The second I noticed this, the intermittent opening and closing 1564 01:33:51.770 --> 01:33:56.149 started again. No pattern. Just casually opening and closing like 1565 01:33:56.189 --> 01:33:58.850 it had shit to do. My fiance and I started 1566 01:33:58.869 --> 01:34:01.920 to try to find more logical explanations because apparently we 1567 01:34:01.960 --> 01:34:05.520 enjoyed torturing ourselves and we could not find one. At 1568 01:34:05.539 --> 01:34:07.300 that point, I figured, okay, homie, you just want to 1569 01:34:07.340 --> 01:34:08.960 hang out. So I finished my phone call and I 1570 01:34:08.960 --> 01:34:11.760 started making dinner. I tried to put the original movie 1571 01:34:11.800 --> 01:34:16.319 into another DVD player, but there were technical difficulties. So 1572 01:34:16.470 --> 01:34:20.140 I settled on Netflix. And yes, I know absolutely how 1573 01:34:20.220 --> 01:34:22.859 insane this sounds, but I explained how all of this 1574 01:34:23.539 --> 01:34:26.880 to the DVD player ghost. It actually settled down a bit, 1575 01:34:26.960 --> 01:34:30.739 so I let it help pick what we watched and 1576 01:34:30.840 --> 01:34:35.659 promised we would come back to Dead Poets Society. I 1577 01:34:35.800 --> 01:34:39.560 also set a firm boundary of, hey, I'm down to 1578 01:34:39.600 --> 01:34:46.159 hang out. But you gotta be chill. And then, because 1579 01:34:46.239 --> 01:34:50.180 apparently this is my life now, I made the ghost 1580 01:34:50.460 --> 01:34:56.010 a small bowl of mac and cheese. After that, the 1581 01:34:56.069 --> 01:35:00.210 night actually went pretty smoothly. It opened and closed a 1582 01:35:00.250 --> 01:35:02.369 few more times, but didn't get stuck on the hello 1583 01:35:02.409 --> 01:35:07.680 screen again. And Google stayed silent. So all in all, 1584 01:35:07.840 --> 01:35:10.640 if this actually is some type of entity, I genuinely 1585 01:35:10.680 --> 01:35:13.640 think it just wants to hang out. I have a 1586 01:35:13.699 --> 01:35:14.319 roommate now. 1587 01:35:16.260 --> 01:35:21.210 That is so insane. So the mac and cheese worked. 1588 01:35:22.590 --> 01:35:27.029 And just chatting with it and asking if it can 1589 01:35:27.250 --> 01:35:29.689 choose the movie for them on Netflix. 1590 01:35:30.760 --> 01:35:31.399 Now it's chill. 1591 01:35:34.520 --> 01:35:35.100 Interesting. 1592 01:35:35.699 --> 01:35:36.800 Interesting. 1593 01:35:38.199 --> 01:35:42.640 Do we believe that it is paranormal? 1594 01:35:44.420 --> 01:35:46.119 I think this person would keep making mac and cheese 1595 01:35:46.180 --> 01:35:51.560 every night. Like bowls and bowls and bowls. 1596 01:35:51.779 --> 01:35:53.890 Yeah, you're locked in now. The ghost just wants mac 1597 01:35:53.899 --> 01:35:57.369 and cheese. That's all they want. Also, I don't think. 1598 01:35:57.630 --> 01:35:58.390 Would you say that. 1599 01:35:58.310 --> 01:36:00.010 A ghost wants food ever? 1600 01:36:00.029 --> 01:36:02.970 I don't think so, Rick. 1601 01:36:03.310 --> 01:36:05.470 I'd say that's one of the things they're least interested in. 1602 01:36:06.989 --> 01:36:07.930 Probably Santa Claus. 1603 01:36:09.770 --> 01:36:12.909 Yeah. 1604 01:36:13.789 --> 01:36:17.449 Cookies for Santa. Mac and cheese for ghosts. Everyone knows that. 1605 01:36:18.609 --> 01:36:21.439 If we assume that story is real, I think that 1606 01:36:21.479 --> 01:36:24.560 there is some, I mean, the only two explanations, if 1607 01:36:24.619 --> 01:36:28.180 not paranormal involvement, we would have to assume that someone 1608 01:36:28.340 --> 01:36:33.140 is tormenting this guy and creating a scenario that would 1609 01:36:33.159 --> 01:36:37.720 evoke that reaction, that perhaps the supernatural

is tampering with you. 1610 01:36:37.739 --> 01:36:41.319 But I suspect the legitimacy of the whole story. I 1611 01:36:41.439 --> 01:36:44.300 feel like this guy is just, the prose is great. 1612 01:36:45.140 --> 01:36:50.010 It's a captivating tale. It's almost too good. I doubt 1613 01:36:50.029 --> 01:36:54.510 that this story happened. If it did happen as portrayed, though, 1614 01:36:54.829 --> 01:36:56.939 then I would say maybe yes. 1615 01:36:57.060 --> 01:37:00.199 Maybe there are ghosts and spirits involved in this man's life. 1616 01:37:01.199 --> 01:37:04.560 Spoken like a true lawyer, that does absolutely nail how 1617 01:37:04.699 --> 01:37:09.449 I feel about this, too. If the facts as presented 1618 01:37:09.550 --> 01:37:15.010 by this likely unreliable narrator are true, it seems pretty paranormal. 1619 01:37:16.489 --> 01:37:17.689 Do I believe these facts? 1620 01:37:18.439 --> 01:37:19.479 I agree with the assessment. 1621 01:37:21.319 --> 01:37:22.920 Yeah. 1622 01:37:25.619 --> 01:37:26.159 I don't know. 1623 01:37:26.180 --> 01:37:27.239 I don't know. 1624 01:37:27.260 --> 01:37:30.229 I think there's a guy living in his walls or 1625 01:37:30.239 --> 01:37:31.020 something like that. 1626 01:37:31.159 --> 01:37:36.770 I like that idea. I think there's one detail where 1627 01:37:36.810 --> 01:37:43.770 I go like, okay. And that's the DVD player saying 1628 01:37:43.770 --> 01:37:47.449 447 and that's the time that they've been on the call. 1629 01:37:47.470 --> 01:37:48.229 I'm like, okay. 1630 01:37:49.430 --> 01:37:51.350 What does that mean? Talking nothing? 1631 01:37:52.289 --> 01:37:53.250 Yeah. 1632 01:37:54.430 --> 01:37:56.649 For me, it was the TV being unplugged. 1633 01:37:57.810 --> 01:38:02.319 Yes. Remainings on that one frame. That's a tough... If 1634 01:38:02.340 --> 01:38:06.600 you're tricking this person, that's a tough technological feat, I think, 1635 01:38:06.619 --> 01:38:10.220 to accomplish. So that implied to me. That, followed up 1636 01:38:10.260 --> 01:38:14.489 by the compounding Google voice, hello, was like, okay, if 1637 01:38:14.529 --> 01:38:17.770 those two things happened in succession... It's hard for me 1638 01:38:17.810 --> 01:38:21.840 to suspect how this could have been accomplished by material, 1639 01:38:22.520 --> 01:38:25.770 naturalistic means. I mean, that does smell a little paranormal. 1640 01:38:26.060 --> 01:38:26.770 I got to be honest. 1641 01:38:27.670 --> 01:38:28.310 That's true. 1642 01:38:29.750 --> 01:38:29.949 Yes. 1643 01:38:30.149 --> 01:38:32.869 Just one of those things where it's like, if that 1644 01:38:32.909 --> 01:38:35.750 was happening, if someone was like, hey, my electronic is 1645 01:38:35.829 --> 01:38:38.010 unplugged and it's fucking doing shit. 1646 01:38:38.649 --> 01:38:38.880 Yeah. 1647 01:38:39.069 --> 01:38:40.939 The first thing they're doing is taking out their phone 1648 01:38:40.960 --> 01:38:43.119 and going, look at this shit. Yeah. 1649 01:38:43.579 --> 01:38:43.739 Right? 1650 01:38:43.760 --> 01:38:45.579 Like we would have a video. We wouldn't just have 1651 01:38:45.600 --> 01:38:50.970 this person's creative writing assignment. I would hope, right? 1652 01:38:50.989 --> 01:38:52.130 Right. 1653 01:38:57.079 --> 01:39:02.859 It also feels like. There's another way this story could go. 1654 01:39:04.279 --> 01:39:08.239 Where it's like part two, my go through me, blah, blah, blah. 1655 01:39:08.420 --> 01:39:11.600 It just starts to escalate and in any sort of direction, 1656 01:39:11.640 --> 01:39:15.359 but in whatever direction that this individual's grift is going 1657 01:39:15.390 --> 01:39:16.210 to go, you know? 1658 01:39:16.550 --> 01:39:16.710 Yeah. 1659 01:39:17.310 --> 01:39:20.300 I really hope that they get fights and stuff. 1660 01:39:21.119 --> 01:39:23.100 Maybe it gets romantic. 1661 01:39:23.140 --> 01:39:24.380 That's what I was thinking, yeah. 1662 01:39:24.520 --> 01:39:25.720 Oh, he's going to fuck the ghost. 1663 01:39:25.739 --> 01:39:26.880 Yeah, that scene from Scary Movie. 1664 01:39:26.939 --> 01:39:28.859 It'd be like, my roommate made a move on me 1665 01:39:29.020 --> 01:39:32.020 and my ghost roommate and I are taking it to 1666 01:39:32.039 --> 01:39:35.420 the next level or whatever. I feel like that's like... 1667 01:39:36.119 --> 01:39:38.399 There are definitely sex workers. That's their gimmick, right? I'm 1668 01:39:38.420 --> 01:39:44.310 a paranormal sex worker. I fuck ghosts on camera. Hmm. 1669 01:39:46.569 --> 01:39:50.689 Yeah, there's probably some pretty interesting pornographic content out there 1670 01:39:50.720 --> 01:39:53.159 of people having sex with no one. 1671 01:39:53.699 --> 01:39:56.880 It's pretty scary because if you were a ghost and 1672 01:39:56.899 --> 01:40:00.420 there was someone who that was their gimmick, that's a 1673 01:40:00.760 --> 01:40:02.720 recipe for disaster. That's scary. 1674 01:40:03.460 --> 01:40:03.899 Right. 1675 01:40:04.699 --> 01:40:07.510 I mean, that is the real paranormal. 1676 01:40:07.560 --> 01:40:09.789 He gets like a cardboard cutout of Robin Williams. 1677 01:40:11.510 --> 01:40:15.850 Hey, hey. Hey, Al. Do you want to make a wish? 1678 01:40:24.210 --> 01:40:25.010 He's Genie? 1679 01:40:25.029 --> 01:40:28.899 Yeah, that was the bit that I was doing.

Return to the land 1867 01:50:55.399 --> 01:50:59.939 of doing, I guess, work. So that's kind of sad. 1868 01:51:00.199 --> 01:51:03.869 We'll be back next week with Minute 74. We're just 1869 01:51:03.909 --> 01:51:06.010 a couple weeks away from dropping Minute 76 where we 1870 01:51:06.050 --> 01:51:09.489 have writer of the movie Joseph fucking Minion on the show. 1871 01:51:09.750 --> 01:51:12.649 The guy who wrote Motorama. You know, the only person 1872 01:51:12.670 --> 01:51:15.510 in the world who could tell me 100% that they 1873 01:51:15.590 --> 01:51:18.500 are more about the life of Motorama than I could be. 1874 01:51:18.659 --> 01:51:20.720 Although I think JC Mike's also certainly gave me a 1875 01:51:20.760 --> 01:51:23.000 run for my money. That's a great episode too. That 1876 01:51:23.060 --> 01:51:25.140 was Minute 65. If you want to go back and. 1877 01:51:25.100 --> 01:51:25.520 Check that out. 1878 01:51:25.920 --> 01:51:28.560 I've fammed a lot. As we come to the end 1879 01:51:28.600 --> 01:51:31.520 of the show, Steve hit him with the sign off. 1880 01:51:32.869 --> 01:51:33.989 Teriyaki Kush. 1881 01:51:35.630 --> 01:51:47.399 Teriyaki Kush.
