WEBVTT
00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:07.360
What would you do if you were overworked and your arrogant boss and you had a plane crash on an island?
00:00:08.120 --> 00:00:11.260
Would you be able to survive or what would the power dynamic look like?
00:00:12.180 --> 00:00:19.500
Send Help is our movie today for movie Monday. It is Parallel Frequencies. I am just playing she is Coco. You are the Freqs
00:00:20.520 --> 00:00:22.880
Coco, what's up? What's going on over there?
00:00:23.300 --> 00:00:28.420
Um, I dare say if you and I were in a plane crash on a desert island, we gonna die
00:00:30.060 --> 00:00:33.640
Probably but I'm not a nepo baby boss and
00:00:34.580 --> 00:00:37.400
Yeah, you might have like you know, yeah
00:00:37.400 --> 00:00:40.600
And I got a couple skills and I don't act like
00:00:41.340 --> 00:00:44.060
Bradley did in in this so
00:00:44.060 --> 00:00:45.780
You know
00:00:45.780 --> 00:00:46.540
Yeah
00:00:48.080 --> 00:00:52.220
We might survive we'll leave that up to the Freqs. Well, we'll ask them Freqs
00:00:52.220 --> 00:00:56.100
Do you think if me and Coco crashed on an island when we survive?
00:00:56.100 --> 00:00:59.400
Put it out there how long over under how long?
00:01:00.860 --> 00:01:03.820
We're gonna make it I got like three days
00:01:04.620 --> 00:01:06.940
Exactly, right? I don't know though cuz
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:13.320
I've been surviving pretty hard here lately. I I just had a kindergarten graduation. That's why
00:01:13.320 --> 00:01:16.120
we're surviving may
00:01:17.060 --> 00:01:17.740
and
00:01:18.460 --> 00:01:25.460
Any Freqs out there who are parents wrapping up the school year? Like tell us how you're surviving may
00:01:25.460 --> 00:01:27.120
How was the graduation?
00:01:28.140 --> 00:01:32.580
It was it was great. It was it was cute. I guess that's what you say
00:01:32.580 --> 00:01:38.640
You know what it was I got a text from my own dad and he said congratulations only 12 more to go
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:40.880
I was like, oh my god. Yeah
00:01:41.700 --> 00:01:43.700
That many graduations
00:01:44.300 --> 00:01:51.520
Cuz typically they don't do like first grade graduation and second exactly and all that right but I used to be kindergarten teacher
00:01:51.520 --> 00:01:57.280
So I used to prep my kindergartners for their kindergarten graduation. We did the caps and gowns
00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:05.400
Oh, yeah, you rent a stage and an auditorium for it at my school. They went all out and I can tell you
00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:10.480
kindergarten teachers we work really hard at getting those kids ready and
00:02:11.380 --> 00:02:18.560
You know, I was really good at like I would have programs where the kids were singing in around
00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:21.640
There was like parts they had props
00:02:21.640 --> 00:02:27.120
I mean I really got went all in on it like really worked hard on it and then I realized after a couple years
00:02:27.900 --> 00:02:31.880
Parents don't really care if they did a great job in their program or not
00:02:31.880 --> 00:02:35.400
They're just gonna be so thrilled and taking pictures. That was it
00:02:36.320 --> 00:02:41.020
Yeah, bunch of bunch of that was happening. We didn't care. We were in there smiling clicking
00:02:41.020 --> 00:02:46.460
You know, it was that's how it was all the kids could fall down and it was still be a great program
00:02:46.980 --> 00:02:49.760
I think some of them did. Oh, I think I saw Amanda's kid in there
00:02:49.760 --> 00:02:54.440
I think he was over there falling over and mine was too and their little buddy kids crying
00:02:54.440 --> 00:02:58.240
Sometimes they just bust up crying in the middle of it and you're like, yeah, it is what I know
00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:02.760
You never know but as well what if you've been watching you watch anything lately over the weekend? Maybe? Yeah
00:03:02.760 --> 00:03:10.280
Our family just finished on uh, netflix. Um, the second season of secret millionaire. We loved the first season
00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:13.080
So we had to watch this. It's one of those reality shows
00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:14.520
Where they're competing
00:03:15.300 --> 00:03:21.040
And I love it because there's a lot of intrigue and they make it harder and harder and harder for the contestants
00:03:21.040 --> 00:03:23.480
So they have all these people move into a mansion together
00:03:24.540 --> 00:03:25.020
and
00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:31.660
In their rooms, there's going to be a box and only one of them when they open the box
00:03:31.660 --> 00:03:34.340
It will have a million dollars in it. Oh
00:03:34.340 --> 00:03:35.200
Is a millionaire
00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:43.840
But everybody else in the house is slowly trying to figure out who the millionaire is and they get to vote off somebody
00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:50.940
At the end of every episode. So if they vote the person off a new millionaire is chosen the next day
00:03:51.580 --> 00:03:57.960
but if they don't catch that millionaire and the millionaire is going to have all these like secret, um
00:03:59.020 --> 00:04:03.720
Agendas that they give them so they have to like do their agenda so that they can
00:04:03.720 --> 00:04:07.920
Get a special thing like they get to vote an extra person off or they get
00:04:07.920 --> 00:04:09.820
You know, they get these little perks
00:04:09.820 --> 00:04:15.840
But if they don't do their agenda then they get three votes counted against them in the
00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:16.100
voting
00:04:16.740 --> 00:04:22.220
So they have to do their agenda like they have to but the agenda is also going to kind of expose them
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:25.380
to everybody now this
00:04:25.900 --> 00:04:29.660
This is eerily similar to a show called the mole
00:04:29.660 --> 00:04:36.080
From way back and then they brought it back on netflix. It's on netflix. There's a newer season from a couple years back
00:04:36.080 --> 00:04:38.920
But I've always loved this premise
00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:44.480
And the mole is the same type of thing except for it's just one person's the mole. They got to sabotage the game
00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:46.180
They're trying to win money
00:04:46.940 --> 00:04:51.780
If the mole does his job they get certain. Yeah, it's the same kind of concept, but I love
00:04:51.780 --> 00:04:54.040
these shows that do this where it's
00:04:54.840 --> 00:04:57.900
Making people come out of their comfort zones to play because
00:04:57.900 --> 00:05:02.480
I love how some of them are like they start off. They're like, oh I'm not gonna lie cheat and steal
00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:05.800
And that's what they do the entire game exactly what they need to do
00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:07.300
You can't blame them
00:05:07.300 --> 00:05:11.420
They're they're in it for the long haul but then you have these ones
00:05:11.420 --> 00:05:16.900
I love in a secret millionaire. You have these one contestants once in a while that will say something like
00:05:17.660 --> 00:05:22.580
I think I'm getting away with it. I don't think it's up to me and then you hear all these other
00:05:23.180 --> 00:05:26.880
Um, you know confessionals and they're like, I totally think it's her
00:05:26.880 --> 00:05:32.960
Yeah, they're like she's so obvious and we are getting her, you know, and it's just hilarious to me
00:05:32.960 --> 00:05:38.900
Let me tell you what I've been watching I caught one and it's not it's not a surprise it might be right now
00:05:38.900 --> 00:05:41.240
Because it's top of mind for lots
00:05:41.960 --> 00:05:45.360
Widows bay on Apple TV+. Holy shit
00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:51.720
That's all I can say matthew reese. I love matthew reese. He was on the americans. I love that tv show
00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:53.820
He did a great job on that and I thought
00:05:53.820 --> 00:05:56.320
You know, I was like here's the the
00:05:57.020 --> 00:06:02.700
Come out party for matthew reese. Here he is. Welcome. Welcome to the to the world of acting, you know, and
00:06:02.960 --> 00:06:04.880
this show
00:06:04.880 --> 00:06:10.240
It's you gotta you gotta check it out. They're four episodes deep in episode four. I did one of those
00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:13.640
Like right off the couch like oh my god, what what?
00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:19.920
I love that. It's up there. I love it. We got we'll talk. I think we gotta put that on our docket
00:06:20.760 --> 00:06:24.940
Soon and it's it's a weekly every wednesday. I think they got a couple more episodes
00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:26.980
You could catch up
00:06:26.980 --> 00:06:28.820
They're only 40 minutes long
00:06:28.820 --> 00:06:30.840
But you gotta go check out that one
00:06:30.840 --> 00:06:37.300
I get to start recording myself watching something for the first time because I got super into watching this girl on
00:06:37.300 --> 00:06:44.420
She's you know, probably like tick tock instagram. She's probably really popular, but she watches star wars for the first time and so
00:06:44.420 --> 00:06:50.900
Flip is just her watching star war like she's like you guys I've never seen star wars before I'm gonna watch it
00:06:51.440 --> 00:06:55.040
And there is something about watching someone watch something like that
00:06:55.040 --> 00:07:01.280
For the first time that I was hooked I wanted to see a reaction when you know it comes to
00:07:02.100 --> 00:07:05.300
Finding out darth vader is luke's father. She's like
00:07:05.300 --> 00:07:07.000
What I'm like
00:07:07.520 --> 00:07:09.000
This is so satisfying
00:07:09.760 --> 00:07:11.640
It's such a weird way
00:07:11.640 --> 00:07:19.000
Yeah, I love I love it, but let's get to movie monday and Send Help a movie that was quietly
00:07:19.780 --> 00:07:22.560
Added to hulu kind of dropped out of nowhere
00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:27.940
Started making a name put it on the banner up there and that's when I finally said you know what I better click on this
00:07:27.940 --> 00:07:29.200
and watch it
00:07:29.200 --> 00:07:29.880
and
00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:34.140
I was I was shocked at what I saw. It's not your typical
00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:39.520
you know, there's a lot of twists and turns in this in this Send Help flip with
00:07:39.520 --> 00:07:42.180
with a star cast sam raimi
00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:43.880
Directing and
00:07:44.400 --> 00:07:50.740
I love sam raimi from way back, but you got rachel mcadams crushing it by the way and dylan o'brien
00:07:51.760 --> 00:07:54.360
Crushing it in his own way. We we hate him
00:07:55.040 --> 00:07:58.840
Right. We hate this guy bradley preston in the movie and
00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:06.980
He comes across and you think he's got some redeeming qualities and he just doubles down and it makes it even worse so
00:08:06.980 --> 00:08:13.020
He gets what's coming to him. But what you think about this you've been this has been on your radar for a while, too
00:08:13.020 --> 00:08:13.700
I think
00:08:13.700 --> 00:08:19.140
Yeah, I remember when I first came out and seeing the trailer and sometimes I said this is going to be great and I think
00:08:19.700 --> 00:08:23.620
Like I you know, like a lot of other things you just kind of forget about it or
00:08:24.340 --> 00:08:28.680
You know move on with life. So when it did drop on who I was so excited. I was like, oh my gosh
00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:30.040
We're finally going to see it
00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:32.120
so so
00:08:32.120 --> 00:08:38.540
Such a good premise of that blend of horror and comedy. I mean, I think they did a fantastic job, you know
00:08:38.540 --> 00:08:45.400
There was once a time when horror was horror and comedy was comedy and now we live in this beautiful age
00:08:46.040 --> 00:08:51.580
Where you get to watch a horror movie and laugh through it too, and I love that I'm here boy genre
00:08:51.580 --> 00:08:53.780
Blending is my favorite
00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:56.820
Types of movies like blend them all together
00:08:56.820 --> 00:09:03.460
Everything is a horror movie. I want to have some moments where I'm like hilarious. I'm having the best time
00:09:03.460 --> 00:09:07.640
Yeah, yeah, and this is one this definitely is one and
00:09:08.400 --> 00:09:11.480
simple premise really if you look at it because this is
00:09:12.040 --> 00:09:13.860
the typical classic
00:09:13.860 --> 00:09:15.980
Who are you when the lights go out?
00:09:16.460 --> 00:09:22.900
You know, who are you when you don't have a linkedin profile to look at and they they joke about they make fun of
00:09:23.860 --> 00:09:29.040
Her on the airplane remember that and they're like they find her survivor audition tape and they're making fun of her
00:09:29.920 --> 00:09:33.620
I wish let me tell you I got a survivor audition tape out there somewhere
00:09:34.520 --> 00:09:38.360
Do you really? I do I applied I went down and this is way back
00:09:38.360 --> 00:09:43.300
I faked. Oh my god. I can't believe I'm gonna tell you this this video is out there. I hope
00:09:43.300 --> 00:09:49.740
It becomes this up and show this video that would be great. I took a stuffed animal
00:09:49.740 --> 00:09:51.460
And I think of ketchup
00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:54.860
And I took my shirt off and I was out there was like in the snow
00:09:54.860 --> 00:10:02.860
This was like this was in mephis. It was cold snow and my shirt off. I had I had some of the the the uh,
00:10:02.860 --> 00:10:04.900
Ketchup on me like blood and I was over there eating
00:10:05.900 --> 00:10:10.900
Like I was eating raw meat out of just living off the land, you know, and I told him I'll say I know I'm
00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:14.920
I'm ready to whatever it's out there. I did it
00:10:14.920 --> 00:10:18.400
They could they could have easily made fun of me, but they did it to her
00:10:18.980 --> 00:10:21.680
And then you find out you're like, oh no
00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:25.400
They shouldn't have done that because uh, they're gonna need her
00:10:25.920 --> 00:10:26.560
you know
00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:32.920
Let's talk about that moment and every moment leading up to that in the movie first because I would like to know
00:10:32.920 --> 00:10:35.400
especially for the Freqs who
00:10:35.400 --> 00:10:39.780
Have watched this movie. Was there any part of you that related to?
00:10:39.780 --> 00:10:46.020
Her um, like were you more related to her or were more more feeling like the bro?
00:10:46.920 --> 00:10:52.340
The bro energy was what you related to or resonated with because I was definitely
00:10:52.980 --> 00:10:55.100
more like her I was
00:10:55.880 --> 00:11:00.340
Probably, you know growing up in elementary school middle school like a little bit nerdy
00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:04.180
Wore those oversized t-shirts because I did not address yet
00:11:04.940 --> 00:11:08.080
Didn't know how to do anything. I you know
00:11:08.080 --> 00:11:11.620
It was just kind of like how come nobody likes me
00:11:12.580 --> 00:11:18.920
And that kind of desperation for like wanting to be a part of the team wanting to be like, oh you guys are going to karaoke
00:11:19.440 --> 00:11:24.080
Yeah, I could totally kill it on this song you guys. What time are we meeting and they're just like
00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:29.220
No, we can't have this all join us. We don't uh
00:11:29.220 --> 00:11:30.940
But this made me think
00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:37.800
Of that phrase and once I heard this phrase it changed my life was you don't owe the world pretty
00:11:38.300 --> 00:11:42.960
Mmm, and that is so important because look at Rachel McAdams in this role
00:11:44.700 --> 00:11:46.640
Not attractive in the first
00:11:47.260 --> 00:11:52.880
Which is wild. Yeah, and she's gorgeous. We all know Rachel McAdams is gorgeous. We know that
00:11:53.540 --> 00:11:56.480
But what if we are all that we are all
00:11:57.600 --> 00:12:02.720
The unattractive and the attractive what if we can all be either or both or anything, right?
00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:07.580
Like the episode side field where the girl was one way in the light and another way in the
00:12:07.580 --> 00:12:13.020
Remember that one? That's great. Yeah. Yeah, but no, you're right. And I think I related more to
00:12:14.220 --> 00:12:19.580
Her as well. I don't I you've known me for a while. I don't really have that bro energy where I'm going to make you fun of
00:12:20.260 --> 00:12:25.080
Somebody I'm definitely not making fun of somebody's damn survivor tape when I've got my own out there floating around
00:12:25.660 --> 00:12:26.740
You know, so
00:12:26.740 --> 00:12:33.420
Yeah, I don't I don't I don't do that. So I see myself more like where she was as well and I think it's funny
00:12:34.040 --> 00:12:36.280
You you point out that she's
00:12:36.280 --> 00:12:40.560
Not attractive in the beginning, but she's highly attractive once she gets on that island
00:12:40.560 --> 00:12:42.900
I love that part
00:12:42.900 --> 00:12:43.940
Yeah
00:12:44.600 --> 00:12:51.020
I love that because who else who how many people are going to be attractive when they've been stranded on a desert island?
00:12:51.560 --> 00:12:54.680
They're soaking wet. They're starving. They don't got
00:12:54.680 --> 00:13:05.360
Moisturizer they don't got their makeup. They don't got like all the things that make us, you know
00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:12.940
Out there she's like in her natural raw element and she actually finds her beauty there in that
00:13:12.940 --> 00:13:19.720
I mean you could be real if the sail towers go down for more than six hours half people out there trading their prized possessions
00:13:19.720 --> 00:13:20.940
for a single bar
00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:22.540
of service
00:13:23.300 --> 00:13:23.900
so
00:13:23.900 --> 00:13:26.720
Yes, I think rachel
00:13:27.380 --> 00:13:30.160
mcadams and her character I keep calling rachel mcadams because
00:13:30.860 --> 00:13:33.040
That's that's it. But linda linda little
00:13:33.040 --> 00:13:40.360
And we find that out too and that plays in her her shoes. I love that that thing too that that whole
00:13:40.360 --> 00:13:42.100
part of it too, but
00:13:42.100 --> 00:13:45.080
Yeah, this is uh, I was made fun of for my shoes
00:13:45.680 --> 00:13:46.600
Oh, yeah
00:13:47.280 --> 00:13:54.080
Yeah, I have been there. I've been this whole movie is a mirror for how deeply alienated
00:13:54.900 --> 00:13:58.680
We've all become from basic survival instincts and from each other
00:13:58.680 --> 00:14:04.400
And you do that by making fun of the shoes and making fun of a survivor audition tape
00:14:04.400 --> 00:14:06.000
How else do you want to alienate somebody?
00:14:07.080 --> 00:14:09.100
They should have been in there saying all this is awesome
00:14:09.100 --> 00:14:10.540
That they should have said
00:14:11.220 --> 00:14:15.480
Yeah, they should have said oh this survivor thing is awesome. Did they call you?
00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:18.060
That's it's that easy. It's that easy
00:14:18.800 --> 00:14:19.760
Yeah, okay
00:14:19.760 --> 00:14:21.600
So if it's that easy
00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:24.780
What is that bro energy? What is it?
00:14:25.500 --> 00:14:30.020
And it's also mean girl energy, I mean, oh, yeah, let me be fair. It's
00:14:30.020 --> 00:14:32.440
Across the board. They're just types, right?
00:14:32.940 --> 00:14:36.540
But in this movie particularly we see it as kind of this bro
00:14:37.780 --> 00:14:41.560
Energy, I don't know how else to say it. These are um
00:14:41.560 --> 00:14:44.380
Yeah, the summers eve type guys like they're just like
00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:46.400
uh
00:14:46.400 --> 00:14:47.200
we
00:14:48.020 --> 00:14:51.980
We get each other. We're totally gonna promote each other
00:14:51.980 --> 00:14:58.580
We are totally going to you know have this bro thing going on and this girl has to use dry shampoo
00:14:58.580 --> 00:15:03.760
You know, she's not one of us. She's not getting the promotion. She's not
00:15:03.760 --> 00:15:06.220
But she's willing to do the work for us
00:15:06.220 --> 00:15:09.900
And that's another point that I that I think that is really important
00:15:09.900 --> 00:15:15.100
If you're too good at your job, you won't get a promotion is never the you that we're seeing here, right?
00:15:16.220 --> 00:15:20.020
never and that goes for anybody that's male or female in that spot because
00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:23.300
There's a lot of people I know have been there myself included
00:15:23.300 --> 00:15:26.960
To where you get too valuable in that role and they can't replace you
00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:32.300
It's going to cost them more to replace you in that role than promote you and bring somebody else into that that can fill that spot
00:15:32.300 --> 00:15:33.080
And that's crazy
00:15:33.740 --> 00:15:36.660
The bro energy a lot of that is a hive mind, too
00:15:36.660 --> 00:15:43.700
It is but in this movie preston still cares that bro energy even when he crashes on that island and he's got nobody else
00:15:43.700 --> 00:15:45.340
Yeah, except for
00:15:45.340 --> 00:15:49.440
survivor audition tape who was a real survival she'd been practiced she'd been
00:15:49.440 --> 00:15:52.700
She had educated herself for this
00:15:52.700 --> 00:15:55.820
She wants to stay that tells you something
00:15:56.480 --> 00:15:59.160
Yeah, and she goes through some crazy extremes
00:15:59.760 --> 00:16:01.340
To make that happen
00:16:01.340 --> 00:16:07.160
Yes, and then you kind of get into a debate as we go along of like who's the villain here?
00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:09.680
Exactly because at first
00:16:09.680 --> 00:16:15.360
No question bradley preston is a villain. He's horrible to her. He's so condescending. He's so
00:16:15.660 --> 00:16:21.880
Awful even as he depends on her for his survival and she's being very generous from the very beginning
00:16:21.880 --> 00:16:27.060
She could be awful to him and she's like I need to keep you hydrated. I need to keep you fed. I'm gonna
00:16:27.060 --> 00:16:31.100
I'm gonna take care of you. It's gonna be okay. We're gonna get through this and
00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:33.880
Um, and as she's taking care of him
00:16:33.880 --> 00:16:38.120
He's still acting like I'm your boss. I'm above you
00:16:38.120 --> 00:16:41.520
So it takes a couple of rounds
00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:48.520
Putting him in his place which none of us I don't think the audience isn't unhappy to see at all or no
00:16:49.280 --> 00:16:51.280
at all, we love seeing his
00:16:52.100 --> 00:16:54.180
moment of
00:16:54.180 --> 00:16:56.280
How low can you go?
00:16:56.880 --> 00:16:57.460
Yeah
00:16:57.460 --> 00:16:58.800
Eating the bread
00:16:59.520 --> 00:17:04.080
And there's some crazy see I love that scene where she's got him. She strips him naked
00:17:04.620 --> 00:17:06.960
Waist down got him up said she's gonna
00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:09.440
castrate him
00:17:09.440 --> 00:17:09.900
that
00:17:10.420 --> 00:17:17.580
I don't know why that didn't scare him enough right there. I mean you crash on an island you look across and at some point
00:17:18.080 --> 00:17:20.140
you gotta think like
00:17:20.140 --> 00:17:21.860
Okay, she's better at this than me
00:17:21.860 --> 00:17:26.580
But there you go that he was a nepo baby and probably didn't have any skills to be in that position to begin with
00:17:26.580 --> 00:17:28.700
He didn't know what real leadership was
00:17:29.300 --> 00:17:32.800
And didn't know how to recognize it and that's a problem when you crash
00:17:32.800 --> 00:17:34.140
on an island
00:17:35.340 --> 00:17:38.620
and you don't know what to do, right like because
00:17:39.260 --> 00:17:40.760
I just think that
00:17:40.760 --> 00:17:43.960
That you know that the script was brilliant
00:17:44.700 --> 00:17:47.580
At making this this character dynamic where it played on
00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:52.200
the the our hyper individualistic culture
00:17:52.860 --> 00:17:55.120
Everybody wants to save themselves
00:17:55.120 --> 00:17:59.420
But the the irony the the cosmic joke if you want to call it that
00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:04.940
Isolation is its own death sentence. You need a tribe
00:18:05.920 --> 00:18:09.260
You know, even if you can't stand them you still got to have them
00:18:09.260 --> 00:18:13.900
You still gotta have them people you see that on shows like survivor
00:18:14.860 --> 00:18:15.380
Alone
00:18:15.380 --> 00:18:21.740
Naked and afraid. Yes when their survival skills are put to the test. They're almost often
00:18:21.740 --> 00:18:27.540
More valuable together as a couple even when one is pulling more of the weight than the other
00:18:27.540 --> 00:18:32.780
I think even on naked and afraid I've seen enough episodes to see that they make it better
00:18:32.780 --> 00:18:34.920
They're more likely to make it together
00:18:34.920 --> 00:18:41.780
Than when one leaves or taps out early than the other one. It's a real struggle to get to the
00:18:41.780 --> 00:18:43.880
21 days or 40 days or whatever the
00:18:44.680 --> 00:18:46.920
Time is that they have to stay there but
00:18:46.920 --> 00:18:48.000
alone
00:18:48.580 --> 00:18:51.080
Uh when you watch the show alone you see
00:18:52.080 --> 00:18:56.440
The top survivalist people in the world are doing this show
00:18:57.260 --> 00:19:03.900
And even they struggle. I mean you watch them struggle to make a fire you they struggle to find food
00:19:04.500 --> 00:19:08.040
Um, so even if she's been training to be on survivor
00:19:08.920 --> 00:19:09.820
linda little
00:19:10.560 --> 00:19:17.340
The the fact that she is able to go to this island and actually like use those skills and thrive and then think to herself
00:19:17.340 --> 00:19:19.340
I might stay here forever
00:19:20.640 --> 00:19:24.400
To the point where she murders people to make it happen
00:19:24.400 --> 00:19:30.380
Yeah, which is I mean then you start to come into an argument of like well, she took it a little farther
00:19:30.380 --> 00:19:33.760
I think maybe yeah. Yeah, then it goes from uh,
00:19:33.900 --> 00:19:34.980
Then it's not
00:19:34.980 --> 00:19:39.960
Then once again, we've got a genre blender. It's not the uh
00:19:39.960 --> 00:19:41.400
female revenge movie
00:19:41.980 --> 00:19:45.360
Now we've got a criminal as well. You know, she's a kidnapper
00:19:46.920 --> 00:19:47.420
murderers
00:19:47.420 --> 00:19:53.620
Yeah, right. Yeah, we've got a problem here for sure, but I do want to talk about like you talk about community or doing it together
00:19:54.300 --> 00:19:57.760
the question that I have when I watch this movie is
00:19:57.760 --> 00:20:01.300
a question of worth a person's worth
00:20:01.300 --> 00:20:05.400
Because if you go to the beginning of the movie linda is treated
00:20:06.440 --> 00:20:07.000
like
00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:09.720
She's worthless. She's
00:20:09.720 --> 00:20:14.220
Disposable she's dispensable. It's it's like oh we were gonna give you a promotion
00:20:14.220 --> 00:20:21.380
But we decided not to because I mean they don't say it out right, but basically you don't meet our expectations
00:20:21.380 --> 00:20:24.340
Yeah, what a person should look like and smell like and
00:20:25.720 --> 00:20:28.660
What they have for lunch in their drawer or whatever, yeah
00:20:29.500 --> 00:20:34.840
But yeah, where is linda's worth where is her worth because she is obviously
00:20:35.780 --> 00:20:43.240
Capable smart a hard worker. She's carrying the company on her back as far as like what she's able to do
00:20:43.780 --> 00:20:46.400
So much so that they'll allow her
00:20:46.400 --> 00:20:49.640
To make the presentations and the reports
00:20:50.280 --> 00:20:53.860
But they won't let her present it. Yeah, you can come along
00:20:53.860 --> 00:20:56.120
She can do all the work on her laptop
00:20:56.640 --> 00:21:03.740
But they're not gonna be gonna actually thank her promoter pay her more like any of the things that count as worth, right?
00:21:04.260 --> 00:21:08.040
And then what is her worth on this island when it's just the two of them?
00:21:08.300 --> 00:21:11.760
Then where does her worth become and where is his worth?
00:21:12.240 --> 00:21:17.460
And when does it become like a patriarchal kind of like there's a hierarchy. I'm above you
00:21:18.420 --> 00:21:24.860
And what would it look like if it was more of a matriarchal community we all find our worth and our
00:21:24.860 --> 00:21:29.500
Contributions as a community together. No one is above or below anyone else
00:21:30.040 --> 00:21:34.060
Yeah, like right if me and you crash on an island
00:21:34.060 --> 00:21:37.500
What are we doing? What's gonna happen? We're gonna talk first. We're gonna
00:21:38.060 --> 00:21:40.360
This this is what I could see happening
00:21:40.940 --> 00:21:42.860
Okay, is we is is
00:21:43.440 --> 00:21:44.600
Me and you
00:21:44.600 --> 00:21:48.960
Discussing hey, what kind of survival skills do you have? Hey, what do you have?
00:21:49.500 --> 00:21:54.260
Hey, what should we do first? Let's talk about what would we do first? Coco?
00:21:54.380 --> 00:22:00.180
We would make a good team because although I don't have the skills of actually being able to do a whole lot. I'm
00:22:00.180 --> 00:22:03.340
very capable of following directions
00:22:03.340 --> 00:22:09.440
You are you are a person so I can be like here's what I think we should do
00:22:09.440 --> 00:22:12.940
Now you tell me how we get those things done and I will
00:22:13.500 --> 00:22:19.540
Do what I'm told and I've always seen it in you it is you do follow directs right to the tee
00:22:20.140 --> 00:22:21.520
but what what
00:22:21.520 --> 00:22:24.980
So so you would want me to come up with our first idea and then
00:22:24.980 --> 00:22:30.000
Because I know the first thing we should do like I think we should get fire. What do you think?
00:22:30.340 --> 00:22:31.900
I I'll be like people do
00:22:32.580 --> 00:22:33.880
I'd be like fire
00:22:34.420 --> 00:22:39.180
And I would I would look at you and say do you think fire will help us live?
00:22:39.460 --> 00:22:42.600
Because I think we should go find fresh water first
00:22:43.080 --> 00:22:50.600
Right. Yeah, we go go find our water source and then we'd probably be build a shelter and then get our fire and fire going
00:22:51.280 --> 00:22:57.740
Yeah, but it would that's this is it. It wouldn't be oh I'm I'm above you go go get the wood go get the
00:22:58.480 --> 00:23:03.260
You know, no, no, no, no, that's not how you do it. We would definitely be equals out there
00:23:03.900 --> 00:23:07.200
Even if you were following my direction and instruction
00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:12.160
I would still see you as an equal because we ain't getting out of there if I don't look at it like that
00:23:12.160 --> 00:23:13.760
Yeah better
00:23:14.440 --> 00:23:21.860
Yeah, and one thing to understand about like the difference between a matriarchal system and a patriarchal system is that there's the hierarchy
00:23:22.400 --> 00:23:27.060
In a patriarchal system of like I have authority over you you do what I say. No questions
00:23:27.760 --> 00:23:31.560
I'm not saying that's bad. I think there's a lot of situations where that's needed
00:23:31.560 --> 00:23:37.560
I understand like that's the way hospitals run like there has to be a hierarchy of like I have tenure here
00:23:37.560 --> 00:23:43.940
I have more, you know time and skills I put in and we don't have time for you to question me as an authority figure
00:23:43.940 --> 00:23:46.500
Right. So it saves lives
00:23:46.500 --> 00:23:52.440
I get there's a place for that but a matriarchal system is a little bit more like what you just described where like
00:23:52.440 --> 00:23:59.240
It's about everybody puts the community as a priority first rather than who's in charge of that
00:24:00.140 --> 00:24:04.040
community so it's just interesting that while linda
00:24:04.040 --> 00:24:09.560
Was in a system that was very patriarchal in her corporate job, she has like no
00:24:10.280 --> 00:24:13.720
Say and what happens to her? She's completely at the mercy of this
00:24:14.400 --> 00:24:16.040
nepo baby boss that she's got
00:24:16.040 --> 00:24:21.440
And then she switches those roles and then she's like you will do what I say
00:24:22.120 --> 00:24:25.080
Unquestioningly on this island because I have the authority
00:24:26.420 --> 00:24:32.200
What's your final thoughts on Send Help? Oh man, I just I always dreamed as a kid
00:24:32.840 --> 00:24:37.620
When I was really treated badly or made fun of
00:24:38.160 --> 00:24:43.420
Usually by boys. I'm just gonna say yeah, I want to get it. I also mean too, but
00:24:43.420 --> 00:24:50.580
But the way that you see it in this movie, that's I I recognize that more having having had that happen with boys
00:24:50.580 --> 00:24:52.200
when I was in elementary school than girls
00:24:52.840 --> 00:24:57.320
and I would have loved an opportunity to get back at them or to
00:24:58.620 --> 00:24:59.140
show
00:24:59.140 --> 00:25:01.200
Show them up somehow
00:25:01.760 --> 00:25:07.680
A dream come true. So that was really satisfying to watch in this movie is to see that moment where she stabs the rat
00:25:08.620 --> 00:25:10.480
Yeah, and wrote a feral
00:25:12.400 --> 00:25:12.920
Primal
00:25:14.080 --> 00:25:18.000
like um almost like a tiger, I don't know how else to describe it. She's just like
00:25:19.200 --> 00:25:24.080
Don't question me again or this will be your testicles. Yeah
00:25:24.080 --> 00:25:29.080
It's satisfying I'm not gonna lie. I don't agree with the murdering but that was fun to watch
00:25:29.080 --> 00:25:33.380
It was and then that was a nice twist I think that's a sam raimi
00:25:34.000 --> 00:25:35.780
you know type of
00:25:35.780 --> 00:25:40.740
Thing to throw in there to do and it kept they could have kept the movie straight and just done it
00:25:40.740 --> 00:25:42.940
without the murder and
00:25:42.940 --> 00:25:46.940
It would have still been great. It was still been great because we got that character dynamic
00:25:46.940 --> 00:25:49.280
We get to see we get to sit here and break down to talk about
00:25:49.820 --> 00:25:52.100
I've been in that corporate world. I've seen
00:25:52.100 --> 00:25:54.140
That type of stuff go on
00:25:54.140 --> 00:25:56.460
And maybe not recognized it
00:25:56.460 --> 00:25:59.600
At the moment but thought about it later and realized oh
00:25:59.600 --> 00:26:03.840
That's why all the girls were piled up in my tiny ass little studio
00:26:04.460 --> 00:26:09.500
They felt better in there. They felt good around me. I didn't I wasn't doing that stuff
00:26:10.060 --> 00:26:12.100
my heart wouldn't use
00:26:12.100 --> 00:26:19.400
Make them feel uh seen and safe and you know at least that their contributions are recognized and appreciated
00:26:19.400 --> 00:26:23.640
I hope if you if I ever worked with you and I made you feel that way hit me up
00:26:24.140 --> 00:26:30.140
I want to hear that I want to know I don't ask for much. I'd like to know I got a couple names in mind that I
00:26:30.700 --> 00:26:34.680
Yeah, I could probably I won't say it. It shouldn't be that rare
00:26:35.240 --> 00:26:37.900
And yet it is and that's sad
00:26:38.460 --> 00:26:42.700
Yeah, let's do better humans. Yeah, do better. Do better. I love this movie
00:26:42.700 --> 00:26:49.500
I think this movie was a no-nonsense thriller that really punched above its weight class. Like I'm serious. I don't know
00:26:50.120 --> 00:26:52.240
Why this one didn't get more?
00:26:52.240 --> 00:26:56.080
Love from maybe it did I just did maybe I missed it. Maybe I'm
00:26:57.120 --> 00:26:59.540
On the wrong frequency and I didn't see it come out
00:26:59.540 --> 00:27:04.820
But I mean, I think I found it and then had to tell you right and you didn't even know it was off
00:27:04.820 --> 00:27:08.780
Yeah, I didn't realize it was out streaming, but I had remembered watching the trailer
00:27:08.780 --> 00:27:14.560
Yeah, and you you'd been waiting on it, right? Like they didn't something else must have come out on disney and hulu
00:27:15.500 --> 00:27:22.060
Right at the same time because no we can't be all the time. We're we're just two people
00:27:22.060 --> 00:27:24.820
We're just human beings. Yeah
00:27:24.820 --> 00:27:26.800
I gotta say
00:27:26.800 --> 00:27:28.260
final thought that
00:27:28.260 --> 00:27:30.620
in a landscape out there of
00:27:31.720 --> 00:27:34.700
bloated three-hour corporate products
00:27:35.420 --> 00:27:40.880
A movie that knows exactly what it wants to do and executes it with sharp wit and tension is rare
00:27:41.580 --> 00:27:44.860
And that one is right here in front of you as Send Help. I give it
00:27:45.580 --> 00:27:47.920
A must watch you got to watch this go watch it tonight
00:27:47.920 --> 00:27:51.140
It's long but it won't feel long it won't feel long at all
00:27:51.140 --> 00:27:56.500
I watched it in one sitting and I think it is over two hours long and that's rare for me. So
00:27:56.960 --> 00:27:58.960
Yeah, go check this movie out
00:27:59.520 --> 00:28:05.140
