00:00:28.399 --> 00:00:31.640
Hello, and welcome to Generation Video. I assure you we
2
00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:33.960
are still open. I'm West.
3
00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:36.359
Yeah, we haven't played the Electricity Bill in a while,
4
00:00:36.439 --> 00:00:37.719
but we are open.
5
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:41.280
Yeah, that's the problem. We were doing several episodes the
6
00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:44.759
last few weeks over cassette tape and then trying to
7
00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:47.320
mail those off and just they got lost in the
8
00:00:47.359 --> 00:00:48.880
post office. Just a whole weird thing.
9
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:51.719
So eight tracks are coming back, mark my fucking words.
10
00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:53.479
But I am rat your other host.
11
00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:55.560
Yeah, yeah, we kind of bet big on the eight
12
00:00:55.640 --> 00:00:57.759
track boom there for a minute. That's why we haven't
13
00:00:57.799 --> 00:01:00.399
been here for a while. So I have some old
14
00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:02.079
debts to pay off with this stuff, you know.
15
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:04.280
So yeah, we pet it all on black and we'll
16
00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:05.040
let you know how it goes.
17
00:01:05.120 --> 00:01:07.920
Yeah, pretty much. Yeah, but really though, you know, like
18
00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:09.599
reality has kind of gotten the way for a lot
19
00:01:09.640 --> 00:01:11.159
of us, and so it's been a few weeks since
20
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:14.760
we've done a show, but we're back, and I wouldn't
21
00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:17.000
say we're better than ever, but we're here. So we
22
00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:20.359
are more here than ever. That's there, you go, perfect. Yeah.
23
00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:23.280
So yeah, it's been I don't know what three for
24
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:25.359
maybe a month almost since we've done a show. Maybe
25
00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:27.560
on a few weeks, A few weeks, I feel, what
26
00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:29.480
have you been up to since then? Do you think cool?
27
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:34.319
I don't know about gosh, I feel like I've seen
28
00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:35.840
quite a few different things in here, but I don't
29
00:01:35.879 --> 00:01:37.840
say that it all like runs together, you know when
30
00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:41.480
I've seen them whenever you see enough stuff. But I
31
00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:44.200
think the most important thing that came around was the
32
00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:47.120
forty five anniversary, your anniversary.
33
00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:49.239
Evil Dead ah, very timely right there?
34
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:52.599
Yes, Yeah, that was excellent, dizy in theaters because I
35
00:01:52.599 --> 00:01:55.040
have never seen this movie like all the way through
36
00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:55.560
in one sitting.
37
00:01:55.560 --> 00:01:56.879
I've seen like a little bit of the beginning, a
38
00:01:56.920 --> 00:01:57.599
little bit of the middle.
39
00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:00.760
Here in the middle, I know, I've seen Evil that too,
40
00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:03.159
an army of darkness, but not the original. That was
41
00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:05.000
the first time ever seeing the original and one go
42
00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:06.920
nice Nice.
43
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:09.360
I hadn't watched the first one for quite some time,
44
00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:11.479
so it was it was pretty fresh for me too.
45
00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:16.520
What a cool thing though, to see what was basically,
46
00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:20.719
you know, kind of a little eight millimeters style indie
47
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:26.280
horror film blown up to like full four K restoration widescreen.
48
00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:29.159
You know, it was just like, man, this is awesome.
49
00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:31.159
It was a treat for your eyes.
50
00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:34.439
It really was. And this is going to sound sacrilegious,
51
00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:38.960
but like me personally, I never really resonated that much
52
00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:41.000
with the original Evil Dead as much as I did
53
00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:45.199
Part two in Army of Darkness, just because it's it's different, right, Like,
54
00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:48.400
it's not evil did too is slapstick, it's comedy. I
55
00:02:48.439 --> 00:02:51.240
saw it like early on in like junior high, high
56
00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:54.159
school era, so it resonated with me more. And the
57
00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:57.759
first one is more of a low budget horror film
58
00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:02.800
that's done in earnest right, Yeah, more of your standard horror. Yeah,
59
00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:05.199
but like the more that time passes and seeing it
60
00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:07.400
in the theater, like I really appreciated it for what
61
00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:10.639
it was, and it was just it was awesome. And
62
00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:12.639
also too, it's like, holy shit, this movie is forty
63
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:13.919
five years old. That's crazy.
64
00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:17.240
Yeah, I bet that is a little like jarring.
65
00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:22.960
It'll happen to you, Yeah, because you remember the twenty anniversary,
66
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:25.000
I'm sure, then the thirty and now here we are
67
00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:29.120
forty five. I know, I know it's crazy. So yeah, no,
68
00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:30.960
that was that was great to see that in the theater.
69
00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:33.439
You know, that's one of the things that I do
70
00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:36.120
like about. You know, theaters are trying to bring people
71
00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:38.159
back and whatever, and so like a chance to see
72
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:40.360
some of these classics on the big screen, Like that
73
00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:42.360
is cool, due, I will give it that.
74
00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:44.319
I was just talking to Tracy the other day, like,
75
00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:46.039
I love the Ghibli Fest.
76
00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:48.360
You know, every year they have a lot of Ghibli.
77
00:03:48.080 --> 00:03:50.439
Movies and they bring those back, and like, if other
78
00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:53.280
studios did that, I think that would just sell like hotcakes.
79
00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:55.080
You know, if DreamWorks did it, and they did like
80
00:03:55.159 --> 00:03:57.879
Shreks and How to Train Your Dragons, El Dorado, Prince
81
00:03:57.919 --> 00:03:59.960
of Egypt, you know, if Disney did it, you know,
82
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:02.439
I think other studios just you know, there's a market
83
00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:02.719
for them.
84
00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:04.719
You know, people want to see these classics again. Yeah,
85
00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:06.439
and you know what, you just made me think of something.
86
00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:11.000
You hit on something that is absolutely easy money that
87
00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:12.759
I think a lot of studios are missing out on
88
00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:18.480
because people of your generation and younger have a lot
89
00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:22.519
of nostalgia for newer films that I haven't really had
90
00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:25.319
a second run in theaters as much like you've seen
91
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:29.519
it mostly on DVD or on streaming or whatever. Exactly,
92
00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:32.120
if you really wanted to get younger people interested in
93
00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:35.959
movies and get them to the theater, then yeah, maybe
94
00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:38.120
maybe get these movies back in there just to get
95
00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:38.759
people in there.
96
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:42.879
Yeah, like before the new toy story comes out, bring
97
00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:44.839
out toy story one to you know, do like a
98
00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:48.040
little little three pete or something, you know, yep, something
99
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:50.319
like that. I think would you know, get people interested
100
00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:52.199
in the new stuff and then yeah, everyone who is
101
00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:55.079
interested in the old stuff, like you get both audiences.
102
00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:57.560
Yeah, and I think you see that across a lot
103
00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:01.480
of forms of media anymore, where you know, you bring
104
00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:05.399
out the older version while something new is being is
105
00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:09.279
cooking right to kind of get interest up and everything.
106
00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:13.519
So yeah, it probably it probably didn't cost all that
107
00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:17.560
much to get Evil Dead remastered for forty five anniversary.
108
00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:19.199
But the fact that they did it and it brought
109
00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:21.839
people into the theater, that's cool. Yeah, there was like
110
00:05:22.079 --> 00:05:26.079
a decent turnout. Yeah, and you went saw Shrek last night,
111
00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:26.720
right last night?
112
00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:28.959
Yep, that was the twenty five year anniversary and again
113
00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:29.720
decent turnout.
114
00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:33.720
Yeah. So look at that, you know, this is not
115
00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:34.959
at all a new idea.
116
00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:37.560
Well, I guess before we get too far off the rails,
117
00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:40.000
what do we see in a night oh tonight?
118
00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:43.040
Oh yeah, So speaking to Sam Raimi will be we'll
119
00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:44.519
be watching Send Help.
120
00:05:44.519 --> 00:05:46.680
Right before I deal we delve off with Sam Raimi.
121
00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:49.720
I wanted that least touch on that. That's our headliner.
122
00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:52.199
Yeah, I mean to be fair of the episode title
123
00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:54.480
said send Help, but I think a lot of people
124
00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:57.920
just interpreted it as as us saying send help please God.
125
00:05:58.040 --> 00:06:00.519
Hell yeah, and they just ignored us completely. So they're
126
00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:01.879
on there, They're on their own. It's fine.
127
00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:03.680
Well what a treat for them. You're watching the Sam
128
00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:04.480
Raimi movie today?
129
00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:07.759
Yeah, yeah, yeah, so we'll get to that.
130
00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:09.720
Hold on I had, I had a train of thought,
131
00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:14.040
I've lost it. That was about that movie theater excursion experience,
132
00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:19.839
right about get people going back to the theaters. Oh,
133
00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:22.480
dang it, it's a lot. If it comes back to me,
134
00:06:22.680 --> 00:06:23.839
I'll interrupt you at some.
135
00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:26.560
Point, jarringly. I'm sure you know it's I mean, oh,
136
00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:28.839
I remember, I'm sorry, there's a jarring interruption.
137
00:06:29.079 --> 00:06:30.759
Yes, it's not on all new concept that I had,
138
00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:34.360
but I heard this recently. Well sorry, not a new
139
00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:36.519
idea by me at all, but I heard this recently
140
00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:39.639
where it said, uh, you know they should be remaking
141
00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:42.560
Lion King because everyone fucking love liking Then make remake
142
00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:44.319
the things that are more like the B movies and
143
00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:47.000
stuff that didn't really get their time to shine, you know.
144
00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:49.800
You know, Treasure Planet would be the one, you know,
145
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:53.160
something like that, or I don't know, something like The
146
00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:55.079
The Blob or something. You know, like some you know,
147
00:06:55.240 --> 00:06:57.199
those weird movies are the ones that should have a remake,
148
00:06:57.279 --> 00:06:58.199
not the beloved movies.
149
00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:01.600
What do you think about that? Yeah, the differences that
150
00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:03.800
I think you have a lot of studios that are
151
00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:08.519
run by techic executives and corporate type people that just
152
00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:12.000
see the bottom line and the return on investment and think, Okay,
153
00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:14.040
it's a sure bet that we can just remake The
154
00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:17.240
Lion King and get cheeks in the seats. Yeah, but
155
00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:22.319
you know, maybe the trick is spend less, remake something
156
00:07:22.600 --> 00:07:24.959
slightly more obscure, give it a second chance.
157
00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:28.720
I think that is what needs to happen. Like if
158
00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:31.519
I could see freaking this and this is like the
159
00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:34.120
deepest cut for me, This is like, I know only
160
00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:36.800
two other audience members will have ever even watched this movie,
161
00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:38.560
but if they had read it, quest for came a lot,
162
00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:42.000
you know, like that would be amazing for me, you know. Yeah, yeah,
163
00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:44.279
So some of those weird movies that didn't quite take off,
164
00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:47.920
I think, or some of those ones that became cult classics,
165
00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:49.040
maybe like Iron Giant.
166
00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:52.199
You know, I don't think you could remake Iron Giant.
167
00:07:52.199 --> 00:07:54.519
I think it's about perfect as it is. That's a
168
00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:57.879
film that needs to play in theaters on anniversaries to
169
00:07:57.879 --> 00:07:58.800
get people in there.
170
00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:01.040
You know, I'm one of the Sea the Iron Giant forever.
171
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:03.480
I like, he's he's really building himself at the end.
172
00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:06.920
I just I've been clamoring. Yeah, But you know, they.
173
00:08:08.279 --> 00:08:10.879
Think about it this way, like so many legacy sequels
174
00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:14.319
have been disappointing, and The Iron Giants probably one of
175
00:08:14.360 --> 00:08:16.879
the few in which it still remains kind of pure
176
00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:17.720
and untouched.
177
00:08:17.800 --> 00:08:20.319
What if Brad Bird wrote and directed it, would you
178
00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:21.000
see it?
179
00:08:21.720 --> 00:08:26.600
I don't know, maybe, but with caveats shut up, you'd
180
00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:30.040
see it probably. But I'm just saying, like it's like
181
00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:32.960
a careful what you wish for, Like every every legacy
182
00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:34.879
sequel has kind of been a monkey's paw in a
183
00:08:34.919 --> 00:08:40.120
certain way. So it's just kind of because corporate decisions
184
00:08:40.200 --> 00:08:43.960
kind of overrule artistic integrity. So it's like, man, it
185
00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:45.440
would have been cool if they did this, but they
186
00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:48.559
did that because that brought people in, but it alienated
187
00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:51.279
the true fans, and it's a whole other thing. So
188
00:08:51.559 --> 00:08:55.559
I don't know, executive suck in other news, water is
189
00:08:55.639 --> 00:08:58.720
pretty wet, pretty much. I mean, you know, we always
190
00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:02.200
talk about original concepts and you know, things like that,
191
00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:04.639
different kind of movies and stuff, and we'll talk about
192
00:09:04.679 --> 00:09:07.240
this movie, you know, in a little bit here, even
193
00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:09.000
though it's kind of based on some other stuff, but
194
00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:15.000
you know, it's it's a concept and it's fresh, right,
195
00:09:15.440 --> 00:09:19.039
it's not just remake number whatever kind of.
196
00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:23.159
Thing like the Anaconda. Oh my god. I just yawned
197
00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:24.519
at that like that. I was like, oh my god,
198
00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:27.600
that's like I talk about, like when I say remake
199
00:09:27.720 --> 00:09:29.080
the obscure be movies.
200
00:09:29.799 --> 00:09:32.080
You know, that's there's a reason why.
201
00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:34.240
I said b movies, because there's like there's a glimmer
202
00:09:34.279 --> 00:09:36.600
of hope and chance there. Don't remake dog shit movies.
203
00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:39.480
Don't remake Anaconda.
204
00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:41.799
Yeah, just dogshit. Then it's gonna be dogshit.
205
00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:42.000
Now.
206
00:09:42.080 --> 00:09:44.679
Nobody wanted that. It's like, you know, sometimes a bad
207
00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:47.399
movie is fun because it tried to be a good movie,
208
00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:50.320
not because it intentionally set out to be a bad movie.
209
00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:54.639
You know, like Samurai Cop is a fantastic B movie, right,
210
00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:57.519
but Sharknado is a terrible piece of shit. Right.
211
00:09:57.679 --> 00:10:00.200
I don't want to be offensive in this statement at all,
212
00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:03.039
but that's kind of how I categorized frank and Hooker.
213
00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:07.559
That's fair. Yeah, I mean again, like you know, but
214
00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:11.919
that's Franken Hooker is kind of a specific kind of
215
00:10:12.039 --> 00:10:14.840
argument though, because that's Frank Hennon Louder and you know
216
00:10:14.919 --> 00:10:18.000
we we talked about basket Case on the show. Uh,
217
00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:21.519
that's that's a movie from a very deranged mind, and
218
00:10:21.559 --> 00:10:25.519
I'm here for it. Deranged is a good word for those. Yeah,
219
00:10:25.879 --> 00:10:30.080
but anyway, speaking of deranged, those Sam Raimi, Yeah, I
220
00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:34.799
mean yeah, you know, we grew up watching Evil Dead two,
221
00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:41.000
Army of Darkness, Dark Man, you know, Spider Man. The
222
00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:43.480
Man's done a ton of films at this point now
223
00:10:44.159 --> 00:10:47.639
dragged me to hell. I don't know, there's tons of
224
00:10:47.679 --> 00:10:50.320
other ones that I'm missing, Spider Man, I said Spider Man.
225
00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:54.440
I wanted to, I was. I didn't mention three. That's
226
00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:59.159
a Doctor Strange too, Doctor Strange. The Multiverse of Madness,
227
00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:01.159
Mountain of Madness, whatever. It is one of the most
228
00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:04.039
original MCU things that came out of order. Yeah, I
229
00:11:04.120 --> 00:11:05.240
like that one a lot. That was good.
230
00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:08.679
Yeah, so this is I didn't hear you say Spider
231
00:11:08.679 --> 00:11:10.600
Man because I was trailing off on this. Typically we
232
00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:12.600
go into our episodes, you know, at the beginning of
233
00:11:12.600 --> 00:11:15.279
the episodes, we talk about the familiarity of our movies.
234
00:11:15.639 --> 00:11:18.480
But I have a personal limit that I've set on
235
00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:21.879
myself where I have to break Wes's balls. No less
236
00:11:21.919 --> 00:11:24.399
than three times, but no more than seventeen times.
237
00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:27.480
You said before, no less than seven and no more
238
00:11:27.559 --> 00:11:31.559
than like seventeen. I'll bump it up. Okay, Okay, you
239
00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:34.639
can adjust. I feel like I'm reading the terms and
240
00:11:34.639 --> 00:11:36.639
conditions of a credit card where it's like, you're right,
241
00:11:36.720 --> 00:11:39.360
will be no less than five percent, but no higher
242
00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:40.960
than ninety nine point nine nine percent.
243
00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:45.200
Yeah, you're in some familiar territory for that then, But yeah, Wes.
244
00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:47.360
I tried to get Wes to see this movie within
245
00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:49.320
theaters because with me in theaters, and I was like,
246
00:11:49.320 --> 00:11:50.879
oh my god, it's the same Raymi movie. Let's go
247
00:11:51.039 --> 00:11:52.639
check it out. And he was like, nah, I'm good.
248
00:11:53.399 --> 00:11:56.200
And then this motherfucker watches it at home. Finally, like,
249
00:11:56.240 --> 00:11:57.960
I give him a copy to watch it at home
250
00:11:58.080 --> 00:12:00.480
once I finally get one, and he's like, after he
251
00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:03.159
gets and watches it, he said this, it's amazing, this
252
00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:05.279
movie is so good, and I'm like, you, son of
253
00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:07.960
a bitch. And I tried to tell I tried to
254
00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:09.399
get him to go back, and he didn't do it,
255
00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:12.799
I know because crucify audience get him.
256
00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:15.360
But here's the thing, Like my reaction at the time,
257
00:12:15.399 --> 00:12:17.639
I feel it was was pretty much in line with
258
00:12:17.720 --> 00:12:19.600
a lot of people though, where it was just like
259
00:12:21.080 --> 00:12:22.919
I don't need to go to the theater to see that,
260
00:12:23.320 --> 00:12:25.440
but you know, should have, but I should have. But
261
00:12:25.480 --> 00:12:28.240
that's the and that's the argument, right, is like what
262
00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:31.000
is getting people back into theaters? I don't know, because
263
00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:33.279
it's just so convenient just be like ah, I'll wait
264
00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:38.000
for streaming or whatever. But like me personally, I'm talking
265
00:12:38.039 --> 00:12:40.000
on this show sometimes about like, oh, I used to
266
00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:43.480
go see movie X or movie why at the theater
267
00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:46.559
because it was it looked interesting and this is that
268
00:12:46.679 --> 00:12:49.039
kind of movie. I know, why didn't I go see it?
269
00:12:49.080 --> 00:12:49.480
I don't know.
270
00:12:49.639 --> 00:12:52.519
We've we've flipped, like you know, I'm in the modern
271
00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:54.440
era going to theaters all the time, and you're at
272
00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:56.519
home watching stuff at home whenever I was a kid
273
00:12:56.639 --> 00:12:58.240
going watching stuff at home and you were going to
274
00:12:58.240 --> 00:12:58.480
the theater.
275
00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:00.879
Looul, you either die a hero you live long enough
276
00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:01.600
to be the villain.
277
00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:07.559
No, this is like your this is your Darth Vader moment,
278
00:13:08.159 --> 00:13:10.840
going back to the theaters again to kill You're killing Palpatine.
279
00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:15.720
Yeah, but that's that's just the modern malaise of movie theaters. Though.
280
00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:17.919
It's like people got burned out for a while on
281
00:13:17.960 --> 00:13:22.440
it after Endgame. Yeah, let's be real too, Like movie
282
00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:25.799
theaters are expensive, Like going to the movies is expensive,
283
00:13:27.200 --> 00:13:31.320
concessions and food, especially if there's multiple people involved.
284
00:13:32.159 --> 00:13:34.159
Basically twenty bucks to see an IMAX movie because you've
285
00:13:34.159 --> 00:13:35.879
got to rent it online because you have to reserve
286
00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:37.960
the seats now, and then there's convenience fee and then
287
00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:39.039
there's taxes.
288
00:13:38.799 --> 00:13:40.799
So and all that stuff is I mean, yeah, so
289
00:13:40.879 --> 00:13:44.960
I I see why people don't go to the theater
290
00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:48.519
because it is prohibulably expensive, especially in an era of
291
00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:54.720
five dollars gasoline five dollars gallon gas and expensive groceries
292
00:13:54.720 --> 00:13:56.519
and stuff like. People are trying to survive, so of
293
00:13:56.519 --> 00:13:58.039
course they're going to cut stuff out like that.
294
00:13:58.080 --> 00:14:00.000
It's one hundred dollars just to get to the movie,
295
00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:02.080
get your tickets, get your snacks, and got home.
296
00:14:02.159 --> 00:14:04.720
Yeah. Yeah, So I mean that is a that is
297
00:14:04.720 --> 00:14:08.799
a huge detriment, right, So what's the answer. I don't know,
298
00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:12.480
makes it cheaper? Who knows. That's a whole different conversation.
299
00:14:12.720 --> 00:14:15.120
But you can see where I was kind of coming
300
00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:17.399
from a little bit though, where it's just like, I
301
00:14:17.399 --> 00:14:20.480
don't know, it would take something big to get me
302
00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:23.639
to the theater. That was my mindset at the time, right
303
00:14:23.840 --> 00:14:28.200
versus Okay, yeah, this was a good movie, Like, but
304
00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:30.399
if it wasn't so expensive to go see it, maybe
305
00:14:30.399 --> 00:14:32.240
I would have seen it. I don't know, it's well,
306
00:14:32.240 --> 00:14:33.399
what do you think about I can't give me a
307
00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:35.279
straight answer. I'm sorry, what do you think about? This
308
00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:37.000
middle ground here? I've seen this.
309
00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:39.759
I might be mispronouncing this fellow's name, but he's a
310
00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:41.399
comedian and he has a movie coming out soon.
311
00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:45.039
I think his name is Nate Bargazzi or Bargatzi or
312
00:14:45.039 --> 00:14:46.879
something like that. Yeah, I know you're talking about. I
313
00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:47.600
can't pronounce it.
314
00:14:47.559 --> 00:14:49.840
Either, but yeah, yeah, yeah, he has a movie coming
315
00:14:49.840 --> 00:14:54.360
out soon and forgets me. Yeah, maybe well he's done
316
00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:57.399
this thing called like he's negotiated. He's not the first
317
00:14:57.440 --> 00:14:59.600
one to do it, but he's negotiated this thing called
318
00:14:59.639 --> 00:15:04.159
the Nate rate where it's like, no matter when you
319
00:15:04.200 --> 00:15:06.320
see it throughout the day, it's at the matinee price
320
00:15:06.440 --> 00:15:09.360
at like like some some big theater chains like AMC
321
00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:11.320
and stuff like that. So it's a cheaper it's a
322
00:15:11.440 --> 00:15:14.080
it's supposed to movie about like a struggle in kind
323
00:15:14.080 --> 00:15:16.279
of low end family or something like that, and just
324
00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:17.919
I guess kind of fitting the dyamic of that. He
325
00:15:17.919 --> 00:15:20.320
wants everyone to go see it, and he's gotten it
326
00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:23.799
like negotiated to be mattinee prices interesting, which I think
327
00:15:23.840 --> 00:15:26.320
is an excellent step to getting people, like you were saying,
328
00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:29.639
getting that cost lowered to get that people in the door.
329
00:15:29.759 --> 00:15:31.679
Yeah, the only downside I could see to that is
330
00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:39.080
that being corrupted into like premium pricing for premium showings, right,
331
00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:40.159
I don't follow.
332
00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:43.039
I mean they're all they're all matinee price for everybody.
333
00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:45.879
Sure, Yeah, and that's fine. I could just see like
334
00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:48.519
a studio being like, okay, well that was that was
335
00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:51.200
the matinee price one. But if you want to see
336
00:15:51.399 --> 00:15:53.279
you know, it's a big name movie, well, there's gonna
337
00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:55.559
be enough charge because it's in you know whatever, Like
338
00:15:55.720 --> 00:15:57.480
it could be a slippery slope. There could be an
339
00:15:57.519 --> 00:16:00.200
overcorrection to that. Maybe. I don't know. I like the
340
00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:01.399
idea behind it.
341
00:16:01.360 --> 00:16:04.159
But it's I mean, I'm glad someone's making an effort
342
00:16:04.240 --> 00:16:08.519
for it, you know. Yeah, to that end, I guess
343
00:16:08.519 --> 00:16:11.240
to the prohibitably expensive theaters.
344
00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:15.639
Yeah, I don't know. It's also too though. It's different
345
00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:19.879
in this day and age because we don't have dollar
346
00:16:19.960 --> 00:16:22.600
theaters like we used to, like back in the day,
347
00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:26.120
and we don't Yeah, well even before that, like here
348
00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:29.639
around Central Illinois, like we had like Westlake Theater and
349
00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:34.600
places that were like second run movies that you would go,
350
00:16:34.799 --> 00:16:37.799
you know, you'd pay a buck, right or whatever. And
351
00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:40.600
so like Phantom Menace came out ninety nine, and then
352
00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:43.639
it played after it got done in the big theaters,
353
00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:47.000
you know, months down the road. It played in the
354
00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:50.399
dollar theaters before it hit home video, right, So that
355
00:16:50.519 --> 00:16:54.440
was that was the release schedule back then. Is you
356
00:16:54.480 --> 00:16:57.879
could go to the cheap theater and see it like
357
00:16:57.960 --> 00:17:01.480
for a buck or whatever and get cheap popcorn soda.
358
00:17:01.600 --> 00:17:03.960
Still see it in the theater. I think one of
359
00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:06.519
the big theater chains came in and swooped up all
360
00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:09.200
these things, and a lot of these dollar theaters disappeared,
361
00:17:09.720 --> 00:17:12.319
and then you had DVD and streaming and whatnot. Like
362
00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:15.400
that that business model disappeared. Well, that gap in DVD,
363
00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:17.960
I think is where those would fit in. Well's that's
364
00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:19.720
my kind of lie. I think thinking like once you
365
00:17:20.279 --> 00:17:22.720
gets out of this mainline run and you're like, okay,
366
00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:25.000
well I still really like that movie. Nothing else is
367
00:17:25.079 --> 00:17:28.000
good playing right now? You'll see the cool movie right
368
00:17:28.200 --> 00:17:31.759
before it's out on DVD, yeah, or VHS orses I'm
369
00:17:31.759 --> 00:17:33.960
sure yeah, or it was something like you know that
370
00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:36.359
you really enjoy it. So it's like, oh, yeah, I
371
00:17:36.359 --> 00:17:38.920
got nothing to do this afternoon, I'll go watch Phantom Menace,
372
00:17:39.039 --> 00:17:41.440
or I'll go watch Pulp Fiction or whatever.
373
00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:45.119
Dude, I've been appreciating Project hell Mary's super long extended runtime.
374
00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:46.799
I've seen the movie like three times of theaters because
375
00:17:46.920 --> 00:17:48.839
there's been times, you know, seen it with other people.
376
00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:51.000
It's like, well, yeah, nothing else is good. Yeah, let's
377
00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:53.240
see I might do that again, like literally this weekend.
378
00:17:54.200 --> 00:17:56.400
Yeah, and that's a movie that you totally want to
379
00:17:56.400 --> 00:17:57.519
experience on a big screen.
380
00:17:57.880 --> 00:18:00.920
Yes, So like send help number two baby?
381
00:18:01.519 --> 00:18:05.759
Right? Yeah, so anyway, Yeah, that's speaking of CENTERP. I
382
00:18:05.799 --> 00:18:07.720
guess we should probably talk about that. Yeah, that's fine.
383
00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:09.880
It's not a school night when we're recording everybody, So
384
00:18:09.960 --> 00:18:12.759
I guess just so y'all are aware, we're you know,
385
00:18:12.759 --> 00:18:14.519
we're a couple of beers deep already and we're taking
386
00:18:14.559 --> 00:18:14.880
our time.
387
00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:18.160
Every good podcast or yeah, you just get kind of
388
00:18:18.839 --> 00:18:22.240
a bit sloshed and turn the microphone on, so check
389
00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:26.359
and check pretty much. So yeah, good stuff. Let's why
390
00:18:26.359 --> 00:18:29.200
don't we throw the trailer on and go from there.
391
00:18:29.559 --> 00:18:30.000
Good plan.
392
00:18:38.480 --> 00:18:42.279
I'm going to be frank with you.
393
00:18:39.920 --> 00:18:44.920
You are smart. I know that you are great with.
394
00:18:45.119 --> 00:18:47.759
Numbers, but I just don't think you got it as
395
00:18:47.799 --> 00:18:48.559
an executive.
396
00:18:48.799 --> 00:18:52.039
I see no value in you. Does that make sense?
397
00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:56.400
I'm sorry? What you know? We have the Bangkok merger
398
00:18:56.519 --> 00:19:00.440
coming up. Prove me wrong. Oh, Linda, before you go,
399
00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:03.640
I forgot to mention I've received a few complaints about you,
400
00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:15.799
complaints noxious odors. Oh guy, take your seats, your little bitch.
401
00:19:39.039 --> 00:19:43.400
The coach joined the Land of the Living. How long
402
00:19:43.839 --> 00:19:46.359
you've been out day and a half. Have you tried
403
00:19:46.480 --> 00:19:48.759
making a distress signal or a bigger fire.
404
00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:53.279
I was busy trying to keep us alive.
405
00:19:54.240 --> 00:19:56.440
But getting us out of here. That should be your focus,
406
00:19:56.519 --> 00:19:59.200
not being Susie homemaker over here. What did you just
407
00:19:59.279 --> 00:20:02.079
said to me? Let's not forget I'm your boss.
408
00:20:02.359 --> 00:20:06.200
You work for me, not in the office anymore, Bradley,
409
00:20:08.839 --> 00:20:09.759
no help is coming.
410
00:20:11.720 --> 00:20:13.559
We just have to accept that this is how things
411
00:20:13.559 --> 00:20:14.000
are now.
412
00:20:17.000 --> 00:20:17.519
You're right.
413
00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:19.480
I think I I getting.
414
00:20:21.519 --> 00:20:28.119
You are stuck with an asshole boss, just like I was,
415
00:20:30.559 --> 00:20:35.079
although I'm betting I'm a much nicer boss than you
416
00:20:35.119 --> 00:20:37.559
ever would have been except for maybe this part.
417
00:20:47.079 --> 00:20:58.759
I don't think we should ever leave you. What do
418
00:20:58.839 --> 00:20:59.680
you think of that trailer?
419
00:21:00.440 --> 00:21:03.519
I'm not sure if this is like Lucy Goosey Nonschool
420
00:21:03.599 --> 00:21:06.319
night Rat talking, but that might be like the best
421
00:21:06.359 --> 00:21:09.400
trailer we've heard on this podcast. Yeah, that was like
422
00:21:09.839 --> 00:21:11.640
electric and chilling at the same time.
423
00:21:11.759 --> 00:21:16.279
It's pretty good. And you're you're pretty uh, trailer spoiler phobic,
424
00:21:16.440 --> 00:21:19.039
so you don't really you don't like to watch trailers.
425
00:21:19.319 --> 00:21:21.079
Yeah, if there's a movie that I even have like
426
00:21:21.279 --> 00:21:23.720
a little bit of interest in seeing soon, like, I
427
00:21:23.799 --> 00:21:26.079
just feel like they give so much away anymore. I
428
00:21:26.359 --> 00:21:28.440
feel like it kind of stilly is the experience of
429
00:21:28.559 --> 00:21:29.839
going to the movies for it, So.
430
00:21:29.920 --> 00:21:31.880
You want to go in fresh exactly. Yeah.
431
00:21:31.880 --> 00:21:33.880
I like to look, you know, as little as possible
432
00:21:33.880 --> 00:21:37.960
about movies, and yeah, this this trailer was excellent in
433
00:21:38.039 --> 00:21:38.519
my opinion.
434
00:21:38.720 --> 00:21:43.440
It's good. But I will say I think it's a
435
00:21:43.480 --> 00:21:47.839
bit misleading, and we'll get into it a little bit later.
436
00:21:48.160 --> 00:21:54.480
But it's I think it's set up like a horror film,
437
00:21:54.880 --> 00:21:56.640
but I don't know if I would classify this as
438
00:21:56.680 --> 00:22:03.599
a horror film. I'll get into that. Yeah, maybe more suspense. Yeah, yeah,
439
00:22:03.640 --> 00:22:04.480
well we'll get there.
440
00:22:04.799 --> 00:22:06.920
Yeah, because I guess whenever I'm hearing that, I'm thinking
441
00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:11.720
definitely like this, you're thinking horror, I'm thinking, like the
442
00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:14.440
most dangerous game type of thing is about ready to
443
00:22:14.480 --> 00:22:16.440
play out. But yeah, it doesn't really go go down
444
00:22:16.440 --> 00:22:21.039
that way necessarily. So anyways, we'll get there, right Yeah.
445
00:22:21.119 --> 00:22:26.559
Yeah, So yeah, Send Help May came out what January
446
00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:29.799
of twenty twenty six, directed by Sam Ramy, written by
447
00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:32.759
a couple other dudes. I don't remember the names off
448
00:22:32.759 --> 00:22:35.000
the top of my head. I didn't do a lot
449
00:22:35.000 --> 00:22:36.720
of research for the show or a couple of beers
450
00:22:36.720 --> 00:22:39.160
in so you know, you get what you get. Tomorrow.
451
00:22:39.559 --> 00:22:44.720
What's his face from Sinners? Sam? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So
452
00:22:44.759 --> 00:22:48.559
we start with Linda Little. Character, Linda Little played by
453
00:22:48.640 --> 00:22:54.680
Rachel McAdams is a she works for, you know, a
454
00:22:54.720 --> 00:22:58.480
company that does business things. Right. It's one of those.
455
00:22:58.720 --> 00:23:01.240
Some financial industry firm.
456
00:23:01.079 --> 00:23:07.839
Consultant firm thing whatever. Yeah, is something like that. Yeah.
457
00:23:08.119 --> 00:23:10.200
I like how from the start of the film. Sam
458
00:23:10.240 --> 00:23:15.240
Raimi as a filmmaker has been an incredible filmmaker for
459
00:23:15.279 --> 00:23:18.480
a long time, and just from the start of this movie,
460
00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:24.000
just his choices of camera shots throughout this film, it
461
00:23:24.279 --> 00:23:27.319
does a really good job of showing and not telling, right, Like,
462
00:23:27.400 --> 00:23:30.240
this movie opens with like a close up of her
463
00:23:30.279 --> 00:23:33.799
putting her lunch bag in the fridge and you see
464
00:23:33.839 --> 00:23:36.359
her name tag, so you automatically are like, okay, that's
465
00:23:36.400 --> 00:23:37.599
this character, right.
466
00:23:37.440 --> 00:23:39.920
And her lunch bag takes up most of that damn fridge.
467
00:23:40.079 --> 00:23:43.759
Yeah, we see we see her like straightening her name
468
00:23:43.799 --> 00:23:47.160
played at her desk. There's music playing, we see a
469
00:23:47.200 --> 00:23:51.680
motivational picture on the desk, and then as the movie starts,
470
00:23:51.720 --> 00:23:55.440
then the music blends into her headphones as she's working,
471
00:23:56.240 --> 00:24:00.000
and like all of that within like ten seconds or so. Yeah,
472
00:24:00.119 --> 00:24:03.880
it gives you, Yeah, it paints that picture for you.
473
00:24:04.039 --> 00:24:07.000
It shows you, it doesn't tell you. And that's what
474
00:24:07.039 --> 00:24:10.319
I'm here for. That's the that's the kind of participatory
475
00:24:10.440 --> 00:24:15.279
stuff that you get with filmmaking from a talented filmmaker. Yeah,
476
00:24:15.319 --> 00:24:17.680
there's like one who's been around the block a few times. Yeah,
477
00:24:17.720 --> 00:24:22.200
there's a character piece, right, Yeah, it's all about Lena really. Yeah.
478
00:24:22.200 --> 00:24:25.920
So she's kind of I guess you could say in
479
00:24:25.920 --> 00:24:30.039
in the in the sense that she's quote unquote weird
480
00:24:30.319 --> 00:24:35.240
or frumpy, right, Like she's non traditional quirky. She's quirky.
481
00:24:35.319 --> 00:24:40.000
She's not not a corporate type, right, we get that
482
00:24:40.039 --> 00:24:45.759
impression already. So she's kind of you know, she's doing
483
00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:48.359
her job, whatever it is that she's doing. She's typing
484
00:24:48.400 --> 00:24:50.640
stuff up and then you know, the first thing happens
485
00:24:50.640 --> 00:24:55.039
is somebody comes up to her desk and uh, you know,
486
00:24:55.359 --> 00:24:59.119
I think it's Donovan. We'll meet him in a little bit, right,
487
00:24:59.440 --> 00:25:03.400
and he's chatting with her, and she's kind of you know, uh,
488
00:25:03.559 --> 00:25:05.839
they're they're playing that corporate game. If you've ever worked
489
00:25:05.839 --> 00:25:10.240
a corporate job, you know, like the sort of subtle
490
00:25:10.279 --> 00:25:15.799
ass kissing going on, right, And so you know she's like, hey,
491
00:25:15.839 --> 00:25:18.559
I got these reports for you. He's like, yeah, I'm
492
00:25:18.599 --> 00:25:20.880
going in this meeting. She's like, good luck, and he's
493
00:25:21.000 --> 00:25:22.640
like he's gone. He didn't give a shit.
494
00:25:23.200 --> 00:25:26.160
Yep, And she's pretty fearful that he's about right a
495
00:25:26.240 --> 00:25:27.279
vulture all of her work.
496
00:25:27.319 --> 00:25:28.720
And he's like, no, I'm not going to do it.
497
00:25:28.759 --> 00:25:31.039
Your name, your sticky note name is right on the front.
498
00:25:31.319 --> 00:25:33.640
Your name's right here on the post ise right.
499
00:25:33.440 --> 00:25:36.839
Here, which he promptly removed as soon as he walks away,
500
00:25:36.880 --> 00:25:40.720
exactly which she sees it too. So it was like
501
00:25:40.880 --> 00:25:43.599
her fears became reality almost immediately, exactly.
502
00:25:43.680 --> 00:25:45.839
Yeah, if you've ever worked a job like this, right,
503
00:25:45.960 --> 00:25:49.480
Like I mean, this movie is instantly recognizable. Like all
504
00:25:49.519 --> 00:25:51.519
of the tropes that happened in this film are things
505
00:25:51.519 --> 00:25:55.359
that people working in office type jobs like, they get
506
00:25:55.400 --> 00:25:55.839
it right.
507
00:25:56.839 --> 00:25:59.559
Yeah, it's it's it's a cathartic movie.
508
00:25:59.599 --> 00:26:02.720
Stay. Yeah, but if you if you feel.
509
00:26:02.480 --> 00:26:05.599
For little Linda little in this position, yeah, you're gonna
510
00:26:05.640 --> 00:26:06.279
like what happens.
511
00:26:06.920 --> 00:26:09.720
Maybe I don't know, Linda will get there. But Linda
512
00:26:09.799 --> 00:26:13.000
is also a convoluted character on her own, like both
513
00:26:13.000 --> 00:26:16.240
of them are. But well we'll get into the discussion later.
514
00:26:16.319 --> 00:26:21.759
But after after Donovan walks off. Then a little bit
515
00:26:21.839 --> 00:26:29.160
later we're introduced to the newly appointed CEO, right, uh,
516
00:26:29.319 --> 00:26:36.279
newly appointed NEPO baby Bradley Will said, Yeah, Bradley, who's
517
00:26:36.359 --> 00:26:40.319
the son of the uh the owner, the founder of
518
00:26:40.359 --> 00:26:44.039
the company that passed away, who you know, we'll see
519
00:26:44.480 --> 00:26:50.000
very shortly in the painting. There's a lovely portrait. Yeah,
520
00:26:50.039 --> 00:26:53.279
it's a great portrait. You know. Bradley's doing his thing,
521
00:26:53.319 --> 00:26:56.119
like he's walking through the cubicles, right. It's like, oh,
522
00:26:56.200 --> 00:26:59.799
the CEO is he's one of us. He's beating everybody, right, Yeah,
523
00:26:59.880 --> 00:27:00.960
he's doing his rounds.
524
00:27:01.079 --> 00:27:03.680
Yeah, mingling with the common fulk the peasants here in
525
00:27:03.720 --> 00:27:04.640
the cubicles, right.
526
00:27:04.759 --> 00:27:07.640
Yeah. Linda's at her desk. She's eating a tuna fish sandwich.
527
00:27:08.240 --> 00:27:11.359
It's like, oh shit, the CEO and like, without any
528
00:27:11.400 --> 00:27:15.279
fear whatsoever, like she stands up starts talking to him. Yeah. Right,
529
00:27:15.720 --> 00:27:18.279
she's got tuna fish like right at the corner of
530
00:27:18.279 --> 00:27:22.319
her mouth. And he's given her kind of the you know,
531
00:27:22.400 --> 00:27:25.400
the the corporate speak right, like it's gonna take everybody
532
00:27:25.400 --> 00:27:28.359
to you know, to row the boat kind of thing, right,
533
00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:31.599
telling her the nonsense she wants to hear kind of yeah,
534
00:27:31.680 --> 00:27:34.720
it's the it's the corporate speak, right, like you've gotta
535
00:27:34.759 --> 00:27:38.279
hit those numbers, you know whatever. But then there's a
536
00:27:38.279 --> 00:27:43.160
again the Sam Raimi cinematography here. I love this part
537
00:27:43.240 --> 00:27:46.920
where it zooms in on his eye as she's talking,
538
00:27:48.119 --> 00:27:51.200
and then it cuts to a zoomed in close up
539
00:27:51.359 --> 00:27:57.480
of of Linda's face with the tuna fish on it,
540
00:27:58.039 --> 00:28:01.200
and then like the audio starts to like dissolve a
541
00:28:01.200 --> 00:28:04.319
little bit, right, and then we cut back to Bradley
542
00:28:04.400 --> 00:28:08.200
and his eyes twitching, uncontrollable. This is all within like
543
00:28:08.279 --> 00:28:11.279
three seconds, right, but like it's like Austin Powers and
544
00:28:11.319 --> 00:28:14.559
the Mole right, Like he's just laser focused on it.
545
00:28:14.559 --> 00:28:19.720
He's dialed in, right, and uh yeah, she says some
546
00:28:19.720 --> 00:28:21.640
more awkward stuff to him, right, and then he finally
547
00:28:21.680 --> 00:28:25.680
gets away or whatever. But yeah, like in that moment
548
00:28:26.279 --> 00:28:28.039
and then she turns around, she's like, yeah, I think
549
00:28:28.079 --> 00:28:31.440
that went well. And like her other you know, her
550
00:28:31.480 --> 00:28:34.599
office made or whatever, it's like, well, you know, didn't
551
00:28:34.640 --> 00:28:37.519
you hear like Donovan just got the the promotion.
552
00:28:38.000 --> 00:28:40.279
Yeah, she thought she just made this like home run
553
00:28:40.319 --> 00:28:44.000
impression with her boss, and yeah, it definitely did not
554
00:28:44.119 --> 00:28:44.720
go that way.
555
00:28:44.880 --> 00:28:47.359
Yeah, and she's like, well, I'm already typing up the
556
00:28:48.079 --> 00:28:51.279
you know, the company email here. Like she's like, well,
557
00:28:51.279 --> 00:28:54.799
he's only been here six months, you know. But she's like, yeah,
558
00:28:54.839 --> 00:28:56.759
I connected the dots. I looked up his LinkedIn and
559
00:28:56.759 --> 00:29:00.119
they were in the same frat. It's like, yeah, that
560
00:29:00.119 --> 00:29:01.200
that that checks out.
561
00:29:02.200 --> 00:29:06.160
So she uh kind of loses her lid at this
562
00:29:06.240 --> 00:29:08.640
point mm hm.
563
00:29:07.839 --> 00:29:09.839
As one would. I mean, if you've been in a
564
00:29:09.839 --> 00:29:13.799
position like that and you're expecting a reward for your
565
00:29:13.839 --> 00:29:16.759
hard work other than more work. Yeah.
566
00:29:16.799 --> 00:29:19.160
There was a little bit of conversation after the Tuna
567
00:29:19.160 --> 00:29:22.279
fish where Bradley's right hand man had to sniff the
568
00:29:22.279 --> 00:29:24.720
tune of fish to confirm it. But he's also letting
569
00:29:24.799 --> 00:29:27.559
him know, like, hey, Linda's my workhorse. She like gets
570
00:29:27.640 --> 00:29:28.759
everything done around here.
571
00:29:28.880 --> 00:29:30.359
Yeah, your dad.
572
00:29:30.200 --> 00:29:33.880
Promised her this promotion. Then Bradley is a dick and
573
00:29:33.920 --> 00:29:35.319
he's like, no, that's going to Donovan.
574
00:29:35.559 --> 00:29:37.440
Yeah. He's like, I already told Donovan so.
575
00:29:37.880 --> 00:29:40.000
And then Linda is getting caught up with that information
576
00:29:40.039 --> 00:29:41.000
now yeaheah.
577
00:29:41.039 --> 00:29:43.880
And this is the scene in which in the background
578
00:29:44.000 --> 00:29:46.039
it's like a blink and you miss a moment. But
579
00:29:46.160 --> 00:29:49.680
the founder of the company in the Portrait on the
580
00:29:49.720 --> 00:29:53.640
Wall is Bruce Campbell. Yeah, it's like your free space
581
00:29:53.680 --> 00:29:57.559
in your same Raymi movie, you know, because like I mean,
582
00:29:57.599 --> 00:29:59.279
in the last few years, like Bruce has been going
583
00:29:59.319 --> 00:30:03.480
through a lot of health troubles, Like, yeah, he's got
584
00:30:03.599 --> 00:30:07.079
he's been sick with some stuff. Yeah, so he's kind
585
00:30:07.079 --> 00:30:08.519
of taken a back seat to a lot of stuff.
586
00:30:08.519 --> 00:30:12.039
So I feel like this was a way of you're
587
00:30:12.039 --> 00:30:14.200
giving him kind of a cameo, kind of honoring him
588
00:30:14.200 --> 00:30:15.039
a little bit, you know.
589
00:30:15.599 --> 00:30:19.799
Dang well he he voice acted for the devil inavinsible.
590
00:30:20.039 --> 00:30:23.000
Yeah, totally did that was sick. Yeah, that was good.
591
00:30:23.319 --> 00:30:25.599
So you know, keep in mind, like these guys are
592
00:30:25.640 --> 00:30:28.720
in like their mid sixties now, you know, like everybody's
593
00:30:28.759 --> 00:30:31.880
getting older. So it's one of those things. It's kind
594
00:30:31.880 --> 00:30:35.240
of sad, the passage of time and whatnot. But you know,
595
00:30:35.279 --> 00:30:37.960
it wouldn't be the same Raimi film without Bruce in it,
596
00:30:38.240 --> 00:30:40.680
or you know, the other little easter eggs that you
597
00:30:40.680 --> 00:30:41.079
look for.
598
00:30:42.559 --> 00:30:43.759
There is another one coming up.
599
00:30:44.319 --> 00:30:45.720
Yeah, we'll get there pretty soon there.
600
00:30:45.759 --> 00:30:49.039
Yeah, which honestly, I don't think. I think perhaps maybe
601
00:30:49.039 --> 00:30:52.519
you told me about it to like look forward to
602
00:30:52.519 --> 00:30:54.400
this at all the same Rami movies or whatever.
603
00:30:54.720 --> 00:30:56.440
Yep, so we'll get there though.
604
00:30:56.480 --> 00:30:59.000
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't know if you can call
605
00:30:59.000 --> 00:31:01.519
it your free space, but you know, it's another obligatory
606
00:31:01.559 --> 00:31:02.480
thing for same.
607
00:31:03.200 --> 00:31:05.279
But this part. I do like the scene though, when
608
00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:09.960
when the new CEO makes his his underling smell his
609
00:31:10.079 --> 00:31:12.640
hand and smell the tuna fish, because then there's like
610
00:31:12.720 --> 00:31:15.559
the camera zoom in on the hand with the bit
611
00:31:15.559 --> 00:31:18.319
of tuna fish on it, and then he comes up
612
00:31:18.440 --> 00:31:20.880
and it's like the zooman on his eyeball real close,
613
00:31:20.960 --> 00:31:23.160
and then the zoom in on his nostrils. He smells it.
614
00:31:23.200 --> 00:31:27.920
He's like fish recognize it. I'm pretty sure it's the
615
00:31:27.960 --> 00:31:30.599
All State Guy too, which is just funny. Yeah, that's
616
00:31:32.920 --> 00:31:37.519
David something or other. Uh so, a lot of people
617
00:31:37.559 --> 00:31:40.480
probably know him as the All State Guy. Oh yeah.
618
00:31:41.440 --> 00:31:43.839
In the early two thousands, I watched a ton of
619
00:31:43.880 --> 00:31:46.200
twenty four when it was on The Keefer Sutherland Show,
620
00:31:46.880 --> 00:31:49.640
and he was the president in like the first like
621
00:31:50.119 --> 00:31:53.640
five seasons of the show. He's got a good presidential voice, Yeah,
622
00:31:53.680 --> 00:31:55.599
he totally does. Yeah. I would have voted for him,
623
00:31:55.599 --> 00:31:58.319
but uh oh yeah, I'll vote for him now, right,
624
00:31:59.319 --> 00:32:02.920
But yeah, so it's it's that guy, you know, David
625
00:32:03.000 --> 00:32:05.559
something or other. So good to see him, Yeah, good
626
00:32:05.559 --> 00:32:09.039
to see him. So but anyway, yeah, so Bradley was like, yeah,
627
00:32:09.079 --> 00:32:13.359
I already promised Donovan it's going to him, and then
628
00:32:13.440 --> 00:32:13.720
you know.
629
00:32:13.680 --> 00:32:16.319
It freaks the fuck out and stomps into his office
630
00:32:16.319 --> 00:32:16.720
about it.
631
00:32:17.000 --> 00:32:20.440
Well before that though, before that, he his subordinates kind
632
00:32:20.440 --> 00:32:23.079
of like, you know, we got this bankkock trip coming up.
633
00:32:23.359 --> 00:32:26.519
We haven't even we've even gotten cracked into this other
634
00:32:27.160 --> 00:32:30.240
you know whatever, this big legal document is. I'm jumping
635
00:32:30.240 --> 00:32:32.480
the gun. Yeah. Yeah, but this is where he's like, yeah,
636
00:32:32.519 --> 00:32:34.799
I dump all my work on Linda, like she gets
637
00:32:34.799 --> 00:32:36.240
the shit done, you.
638
00:32:36.200 --> 00:32:39.400
Know, that's right, And that that kind of puts up
639
00:32:39.400 --> 00:32:42.519
this a little bit of a chance, like a sliver
640
00:32:42.680 --> 00:32:45.279
of hope for Linda where he he kind of recognizes like, Okay,
641
00:32:45.319 --> 00:32:48.240
maybe maybe we can't just act her completely. We'll bring
642
00:32:48.319 --> 00:32:49.720
her along to this Bangkok trip.
643
00:32:49.960 --> 00:32:52.240
But that's the problem though, too is again, if you've
644
00:32:52.279 --> 00:32:56.000
worked in a corporate job like this, you know, if
645
00:32:56.039 --> 00:32:59.079
you if you do a good job and you you
646
00:32:59.119 --> 00:33:01.799
act with integrity and stuff like that, like you open
647
00:33:01.839 --> 00:33:06.000
yourself up to being manipulated to just keep working and
648
00:33:06.000 --> 00:33:08.799
then they give you more work because you're working so hard. Right,
649
00:33:09.240 --> 00:33:13.440
So I see that from from this conversation a little bit,
650
00:33:13.519 --> 00:33:17.240
and that, yeah, she's been due for this promotion. But
651
00:33:17.279 --> 00:33:19.119
at the same time, like they're kind of like, well,
652
00:33:19.160 --> 00:33:20.599
we can just dump all this stuff on her and
653
00:33:20.599 --> 00:33:22.920
she'll get it done, and we can just keep partying
654
00:33:22.960 --> 00:33:24.160
and being bros.
655
00:33:24.839 --> 00:33:27.000
Right, and you have the cogs will keep turning.
656
00:33:29.440 --> 00:33:32.920
But yeah, so they're like, okay, well just bring her along,
657
00:33:33.279 --> 00:33:36.160
you know, and you know that's kind of what they
658
00:33:36.799 --> 00:33:38.720
what they talk about. So then at this point, yeah,
659
00:33:38.759 --> 00:33:43.279
that's when Linda realizes Donovan's getting the job. So she
660
00:33:43.359 --> 00:33:46.839
storms into the office, right, yep, not cool, deep, not cool.
661
00:33:47.480 --> 00:33:52.480
We got Bradley interviewing I don't know, some prospective girl, right,
662
00:33:52.519 --> 00:33:53.079
and he's.
663
00:33:52.880 --> 00:33:55.039
Like some blonde bimbo, get the fuck out of here, lady.
664
00:33:55.359 --> 00:33:57.240
Yeah, but he's like, you know, he's doing his douchebag
665
00:33:57.279 --> 00:34:00.200
stuff of like, well, you know, how for are you
666
00:34:00.240 --> 00:34:01.559
willing to go for this company?
667
00:34:01.599 --> 00:34:06.079
You know that kind of shit, right, yeah, screams integrity.
668
00:34:06.319 --> 00:34:09.280
Yeah, So she's like she's pissed, you know. Linda comes in,
669
00:34:09.360 --> 00:34:10.760
she's like I need to talk to you right now.
670
00:34:11.400 --> 00:34:13.159
And so he's like, all right, well, let's let's talk.
671
00:34:13.239 --> 00:34:16.719
Let's talk right now, right like again typical corporate kind
672
00:34:16.719 --> 00:34:18.559
of thing. Let's let's hash it out. Let's have a meeting,
673
00:34:18.639 --> 00:34:23.280
right right. So she's upset that she didn't get the promotion.
674
00:34:23.480 --> 00:34:25.239
He's like, well, I'll tell you what, like, let's go
675
00:34:25.280 --> 00:34:28.039
on this trip if you can, if you can crack
676
00:34:28.119 --> 00:34:33.000
this h difficult document that we're dealing with, Uh, prove
677
00:34:33.079 --> 00:34:36.440
me wrong, you know that kind of thing. Yeah, Appendix
678
00:34:36.639 --> 00:34:39.320
B or D or something like. Basically, just do the
679
00:34:39.360 --> 00:34:42.440
work and we'll think about it. Which earn it. Yeah,
680
00:34:42.519 --> 00:34:44.519
it's not going to happen, but.
681
00:34:44.920 --> 00:34:46.760
You get a little I think this is where we
682
00:34:46.760 --> 00:34:48.800
get at home time or wait no, she goes to
683
00:34:48.880 --> 00:34:50.159
the parking garage first.
684
00:34:50.360 --> 00:34:54.760
Yeah, yeah, yeah, because this is where we see the classic,
685
00:34:55.440 --> 00:34:57.400
the sam Raimi car, the Delta I think it's a
686
00:34:57.440 --> 00:35:01.159
Delta eighty eight something like that, you know, the Evil
687
00:35:01.199 --> 00:35:01.639
Dead car.
688
00:35:01.800 --> 00:35:04.800
Yeah, give me the quick you know, quick and dirty
689
00:35:04.800 --> 00:35:06.119
about why this car is important.
690
00:35:06.360 --> 00:35:08.800
Well, I mean, you know it was in Evil Dead,
691
00:35:08.800 --> 00:35:11.880
it was in Evil Dead two. It fell out of
692
00:35:11.920 --> 00:35:14.800
the sky and Army of darkness, right, Like it's just
693
00:35:15.480 --> 00:35:18.719
it's been a signature of Sam Raimi films because like
694
00:35:18.800 --> 00:35:21.599
it was there since day one, right, and in every movie.
695
00:35:21.599 --> 00:35:24.320
I think it's been somewhere in the background, right, that is.
696
00:35:24.280 --> 00:35:27.199
My understated Yeah, it's a little just like Bruce Campbell,
697
00:35:27.239 --> 00:35:29.119
it's a little easter egg for him or Bruce Campbell's
698
00:35:29.119 --> 00:35:30.760
and all the movies. And so it was a classic.
699
00:35:30.800 --> 00:35:32.440
It's something you can look forward to an anti same
700
00:35:32.519 --> 00:35:32.960
Rami movie.
701
00:35:33.000 --> 00:35:36.920
Yeah. Yeah, it's a it's a director trademark. It's a signature, right,
702
00:35:38.760 --> 00:35:41.519
you know, we there's not a lot of directors still
703
00:35:41.559 --> 00:35:45.320
that do stuff like that, right, you know, I agree, right,
704
00:35:45.400 --> 00:35:47.480
And you look back at like I think of like
705
00:35:47.519 --> 00:35:50.320
Alfred Hitchcock, and like Alfred Hitchcock always kind of put
706
00:35:50.400 --> 00:35:53.719
himself in the movie somewhere as a cameo. And it
707
00:35:53.800 --> 00:35:58.280
might be something is innocuous as just getting on a
708
00:35:58.280 --> 00:36:01.239
bus carrying a you know, a cell ocase or something.
709
00:36:01.360 --> 00:36:03.920
But you're like, oh, that's yeah, it's a trademark. Okay, cool,
710
00:36:03.920 --> 00:36:07.239
that's a directors trademark. Peter Jackson does that here and there. Yeah,
711
00:36:07.320 --> 00:36:10.440
Peter Jackson always playing like a drunkard, like stumbling into
712
00:36:10.480 --> 00:36:12.079
frame right or something.
713
00:36:12.239 --> 00:36:15.119
Or the worst case it could possibly be done as
714
00:36:15.360 --> 00:36:17.519
m night Shyamalan when he's like the guy that solves
715
00:36:17.559 --> 00:36:19.239
the mystery at the end of the movie. Yeah, nowhere,
716
00:36:19.239 --> 00:36:20.960
it's like it's gag.
717
00:36:20.840 --> 00:36:24.480
Me with Yeah, that's the talk about going too far
718
00:36:24.599 --> 00:36:27.880
at that point, right, Like, Yeah, there's there's levels of it,
719
00:36:27.960 --> 00:36:29.760
you know, there's some there's some ways to do it.
720
00:36:31.000 --> 00:36:35.199
The day of sex makin out right, yeah, the audience
721
00:36:35.599 --> 00:36:39.559
will recognize that. But yeah, then then afterwards, after she
722
00:36:39.599 --> 00:36:41.320
has a little melt down in the car, doesn't she
723
00:36:41.440 --> 00:36:44.920
go home and we get a little home scene, right, yep. Yeah,
724
00:36:44.920 --> 00:36:47.719
so we see her making her lunch. She's talking to
725
00:36:47.760 --> 00:36:52.679
her bird sweetie, Yeah, sweetie, sweety bird. You know, she's
726
00:36:52.719 --> 00:36:54.960
just wearing a robe and T shirt, right, like just
727
00:36:57.679 --> 00:36:59.719
you know, she's just living her life.
728
00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:02.960
But then an exciting TV program comes on that she
729
00:37:03.000 --> 00:37:04.000
cannot miss.
730
00:37:04.320 --> 00:37:06.159
Oh yeah, of course Survivor comes on.
731
00:37:06.320 --> 00:37:09.880
So the in universe version of Survivor, which she can
732
00:37:09.920 --> 00:37:12.199
tell she is like a super fan of. She like
733
00:37:12.280 --> 00:37:14.559
quotes the theme song word for word as it's going on.
734
00:37:14.719 --> 00:37:17.480
Oh so she's in there, like swimwhere with the show.
735
00:37:17.440 --> 00:37:19.679
She's not missing it, right, and that that's the other
736
00:37:19.719 --> 00:37:23.039
thing too. I think earlier before this, there's a there's
737
00:37:23.079 --> 00:37:25.719
a pan I think the camera pans across in her
738
00:37:26.280 --> 00:37:30.559
house over like a bunch of like survival books. Right.
739
00:37:30.599 --> 00:37:32.599
The camera moves past that, and then we see her
740
00:37:32.719 --> 00:37:35.679
making her lunch and stuff like that, and so again
741
00:37:36.280 --> 00:37:42.440
it shows without telling that she's knowledgeable, right, like she
742
00:37:42.440 --> 00:37:46.320
she's book smart, she reads, she's interested in these kind
743
00:37:46.360 --> 00:37:51.679
of survival things. They're setting the dominoes up basically, yeah, yeah,
744
00:37:51.960 --> 00:37:54.719
so yeah, she's watching TV with her bird, you know,
745
00:37:54.840 --> 00:37:58.599
as one does. And then we cut to uh, what
746
00:37:58.760 --> 00:38:01.079
like the next day is like the trip, right, they're
747
00:38:01.079 --> 00:38:04.320
getting ready to fly out. All the bros Are standing
748
00:38:04.360 --> 00:38:07.079
around the plane, you know, getting ready to go. Yep, dude,
749
00:38:07.079 --> 00:38:10.199
bros are dude broing, yep, yep. She walks up and
750
00:38:10.199 --> 00:38:12.480
they're like, ah, fuck. You know, she's all excited to
751
00:38:12.480 --> 00:38:16.079
go on the trip, you know. And so they're they're
752
00:38:16.119 --> 00:38:18.039
in the air, the private jet, you know, they're flying,
753
00:38:18.599 --> 00:38:22.719
and she's back there working on the cracking the code
754
00:38:22.760 --> 00:38:26.960
of the appendix D or whatever the business document is. Right,
755
00:38:27.039 --> 00:38:29.639
she looks like she's putting the finishing touches on it. Yeah,
756
00:38:29.639 --> 00:38:32.039
she's doing all the work. They're doing all the partying, right,
757
00:38:34.920 --> 00:38:38.239
So then I think it's Donovan was like, yeah, I said,
758
00:38:38.480 --> 00:38:40.519
I found this video you got you gotta come check
759
00:38:40.559 --> 00:38:43.119
it out, right, And there's this power play here for
760
00:38:43.159 --> 00:38:45.159
like a second where you know, the CEO just kind
761
00:38:45.159 --> 00:38:47.400
of stares at him like I'm not getting up you're
762
00:38:47.400 --> 00:38:50.960
coming to me, and he's like, okay, yeah, get up
763
00:38:51.440 --> 00:38:54.840
right editing cats that. Yeah, it's like just a real
764
00:38:54.920 --> 00:38:57.599
subtle thing, right, just from like a just a look
765
00:38:57.639 --> 00:39:02.360
that he gives him, right, And so then he brings
766
00:39:02.360 --> 00:39:04.639
the laptop over and they're all huddled around. It's like,
767
00:39:05.239 --> 00:39:07.360
you know, the CEO and his buddy, and then like
768
00:39:07.440 --> 00:39:11.639
there's like the two other hanger on corporate guys, you know,
769
00:39:11.679 --> 00:39:13.159
the ones that want to be part of the group.
770
00:39:13.239 --> 00:39:16.800
Yeah, yeah, that kind of thing, the Lackeys.
771
00:39:16.639 --> 00:39:24.960
The Lackeys. Yeah, so they're all watching her Survivor audition video. Right.
772
00:39:25.039 --> 00:39:30.000
It's slightly cringey, but very much an authentic video from her,
773
00:39:30.119 --> 00:39:31.519
you know, putting her heart and soul into this.
774
00:39:31.719 --> 00:39:35.760
It's honest. I mean, like this character is you know,
775
00:39:35.840 --> 00:39:39.800
she's she plays it really well because like she's just
776
00:39:39.840 --> 00:39:44.480
so earnest in like following her passions, right, and like
777
00:39:44.519 --> 00:39:48.280
she's passionate about Survivor. So she made a video that's
778
00:39:48.320 --> 00:39:51.000
an audition for the show, and these guys found it
779
00:39:51.079 --> 00:39:52.599
online and they're laughing at it.
780
00:39:52.840 --> 00:39:57.880
Right, Yeah, they're brutal. It's they're all like literally cackling.
781
00:39:57.920 --> 00:39:58.800
It's so funny to them.
782
00:39:58.960 --> 00:40:01.079
But think about how many other people this probably happens
783
00:40:01.119 --> 00:40:03.679
to anymore. I'm glad I kind of grew up pre
784
00:40:04.239 --> 00:40:07.280
social media, pre Internet a little bit, because you know,
785
00:40:07.360 --> 00:40:09.800
I'm sure nowadays it's probably pretty easy to go through
786
00:40:09.840 --> 00:40:13.800
and find somebody's tiktoks or whatever other shit they made
787
00:40:13.840 --> 00:40:16.559
when they were like fifteen, right, and then the dirt
788
00:40:16.599 --> 00:40:20.559
dig that up later on because the Internet never forgets ever.
789
00:40:21.039 --> 00:40:24.360
So oh yeah, I grew up like where Internet was
790
00:40:24.360 --> 00:40:26.920
still pretty new, so I think I was like just
791
00:40:27.079 --> 00:40:30.280
I was barely safe of all that stuff. But yeah,
792
00:40:30.320 --> 00:40:32.440
I'm sure there's probably some dumb stuff that I said
793
00:40:32.480 --> 00:40:35.639
or posted out there that it is in existence if
794
00:40:35.679 --> 00:40:36.639
anyone care to look.
795
00:40:36.760 --> 00:40:40.079
Yeah, so they're all poking fun at her. She sees it.
796
00:40:40.119 --> 00:40:44.239
She's incredibly hurt by it. There's a moment when Bradley,
797
00:40:44.320 --> 00:40:46.840
the CEO kind of turns out is like literally laughing
798
00:40:46.880 --> 00:40:49.159
at her face, right, and then like with a tear
799
00:40:49.239 --> 00:40:51.840
rolling down her ice, She's like, if she deletes the document,
800
00:40:52.360 --> 00:40:53.880
so fuck you. Yep.
801
00:40:53.960 --> 00:40:57.800
She just feels pretty scorned at this point. Fuck you guys.
802
00:40:57.800 --> 00:40:59.400
You know you mean to me, what why am I
803
00:40:59.679 --> 00:41:01.000
like in my bag for you?
804
00:41:01.039 --> 00:41:04.280
But she even had that moment where she's hovering the
805
00:41:04.320 --> 00:41:07.559
cursor over that don't save button because she almost wants
806
00:41:07.599 --> 00:41:11.719
to save it, right, because that's just that's that's what
807
00:41:11.840 --> 00:41:14.800
I mean, that's just who she is. Fuck him. Yeah,
808
00:41:14.960 --> 00:41:16.800
So she deletes it, and then all of a sudden,
809
00:41:16.800 --> 00:41:20.199
we get, you know, the seatbelt light comes on, a
810
00:41:20.199 --> 00:41:24.599
little bit of turbulence. The stewardess is buckling up. These
811
00:41:24.599 --> 00:41:27.000
other dude bros Are staying around, and it's like, oh,
812
00:41:27.079 --> 00:41:30.679
you know, you can put a seatbelt on for your
813
00:41:30.760 --> 00:41:34.559
pussy whatever, you know, just that shit. Yeah, and then
814
00:41:34.679 --> 00:41:38.039
what happens. Turbulence happens. Uh, one of the one of
815
00:41:38.039 --> 00:41:40.679
the dude bros flies up into the ceiling of the
816
00:41:40.719 --> 00:41:43.159
plane pretty much breaks the spine.
817
00:41:43.440 --> 00:41:47.760
I'm thinking, yeah, he smashes the ceiling hard.
818
00:41:47.960 --> 00:41:53.639
Yeah, the side of the plane basically cracks open. You know.
819
00:41:53.679 --> 00:41:56.599
One of the other dudes gets sucked out of the plane, right,
820
00:41:56.719 --> 00:42:01.719
and then Linda, Linda has already stowed her her laptop
821
00:42:02.280 --> 00:42:05.679
and she's buckled up, right, And so then Donovan he's
822
00:42:05.719 --> 00:42:07.960
getting sucked out of the plane, and so he's hanging
823
00:42:08.000 --> 00:42:11.360
on to her leg and he's like, give me your seat.
824
00:42:11.960 --> 00:42:16.599
You know, all this shit's going down. And meanwhile one
825
00:42:16.679 --> 00:42:19.280
of the other guys like he's hanging on to Donovan's
826
00:42:19.360 --> 00:42:23.199
leg and Donovan like kicks him, kicks his teeth out. Yep.
827
00:42:23.639 --> 00:42:26.440
I will say, just as a brief aside here, some
828
00:42:26.480 --> 00:42:29.119
of the most of the digital effects in this film
829
00:42:29.159 --> 00:42:34.760
are not super great. They they're obviously digital, but in
830
00:42:34.800 --> 00:42:37.400
a stylistic way where it's just like, I don't think
831
00:42:37.440 --> 00:42:41.280
they are trying to be realistic, right, but they're trying
832
00:42:41.280 --> 00:42:46.239
to be like shocking. It's stylistic in a two thousands
833
00:42:46.280 --> 00:42:50.239
era sort of way, in an early CG era. I guess,
834
00:42:50.360 --> 00:42:55.199
and I look at it, and I'm like, okay, yeah,
835
00:42:55.239 --> 00:42:58.519
that looks fake. But okay, in that context, I could
836
00:42:58.559 --> 00:43:00.400
see it. But also too, I could see why some
837
00:43:00.440 --> 00:43:02.000
people will be like, oh, that looked dumb.
838
00:43:02.800 --> 00:43:05.880
Definitely if you would like that absolute gritty realism.
839
00:43:06.519 --> 00:43:08.480
Well, obviously you're not going to hire a method actor
840
00:43:08.519 --> 00:43:10.599
that's going to get his teeth kicked out for one scene.
841
00:43:10.800 --> 00:43:14.239
But according to you, they should. According to me, yeah,
842
00:43:14.280 --> 00:43:16.519
people will blow up and die all the time for
843
00:43:16.559 --> 00:43:21.039
this method act and yeah, but anyway, Yeah, so Donovan
844
00:43:21.159 --> 00:43:24.119
is like, give me your seat. Linda grabs like a
845
00:43:24.119 --> 00:43:27.239
fork and like stabs him in the hand, right, and
846
00:43:27.280 --> 00:43:29.280
he gets sucked out of the plane, but his ties
847
00:43:29.360 --> 00:43:32.400
catching on the h on the side of the plane.
848
00:43:33.079 --> 00:43:35.239
And then here's where we get the same Raimi dark humor.
849
00:43:35.280 --> 00:43:37.960
Of course, then she's standing She's sitting there, panicked in
850
00:43:38.039 --> 00:43:40.920
the seat and just keeps hearing this bumping, right, and
851
00:43:41.079 --> 00:43:44.639
they they cut to we can see that Donovan is
852
00:43:44.679 --> 00:43:47.519
caught by the tie, but he his head keeps bumping
853
00:43:47.559 --> 00:43:50.440
on the window on the outside of the plane. He's
854
00:43:50.480 --> 00:43:52.679
still out there. And so what does she do. She
855
00:43:52.719 --> 00:43:56.960
shuts the shade. Damn, that's such a sam Raymi think.
856
00:43:57.480 --> 00:44:02.239
She's like, no, thank you, I'm good. Yeah. So the
857
00:44:02.280 --> 00:44:07.719
plane crashes, you know, just crash into the water, and
858
00:44:07.840 --> 00:44:11.320
then that's kind of the end of that scene. So originally,
859
00:44:12.039 --> 00:44:14.000
you know, I was I was kinda I was telling
860
00:44:14.000 --> 00:44:15.599
my wife about this movie, and I was like, you know,
861
00:44:15.719 --> 00:44:18.280
you should you probably you probably enjoy this movie. You
862
00:44:18.280 --> 00:44:21.639
should watch her whatever. She does not like to travel
863
00:44:21.679 --> 00:44:26.320
by air. She likes to prefers to drive anywhere, which
864
00:44:27.199 --> 00:44:30.800
is fair years and years ago, like she was in
865
00:44:30.880 --> 00:44:32.400
a car accident and so it's like kind of a
866
00:44:32.480 --> 00:44:34.880
control thing, like she has to drive, and I get it,
867
00:44:35.039 --> 00:44:38.400
Like that's cool, that's totally fine. After watching the scene
868
00:44:38.880 --> 00:44:41.639
I got, I came upstairs and I was like, that's
869
00:44:41.679 --> 00:44:44.159
probably a good thing you didn't watch this movie when
870
00:44:44.199 --> 00:44:46.039
it confirmed all your I don't think you would have
871
00:44:46.119 --> 00:44:46.760
liked this scene.
872
00:44:47.000 --> 00:44:50.320
So she would have been further away from flying than
873
00:44:50.360 --> 00:44:50.880
ever before.
874
00:44:51.079 --> 00:44:56.320
Yeah. So but anyway, yeah, that's uh so that happens
875
00:44:56.400 --> 00:44:59.039
that that's pretty much like the setup for the movie.
876
00:44:59.119 --> 00:45:02.519
Right at this point is you know she's trapped on
877
00:45:02.559 --> 00:45:03.920
this island right.
878
00:45:04.239 --> 00:45:05.800
With the worst boss ever.
879
00:45:06.199 --> 00:45:12.599
Yes, So, yeah, she wakes up discovers that that Bradley
880
00:45:12.639 --> 00:45:14.480
has washed up on the island. I think there's a
881
00:45:14.519 --> 00:45:16.519
one point she's like, well, of course it had to
882
00:45:16.559 --> 00:45:21.159
be you, right, couldn't be anybody else? Right. I haven't
883
00:45:21.199 --> 00:45:25.719
mentioned this yet, but this movie was scored by Danny Elfman.
884
00:45:26.280 --> 00:45:28.840
It's like the eighth time that Sam Raimi and Danny
885
00:45:28.840 --> 00:45:30.239
Elfman have worked together.
886
00:45:30.599 --> 00:45:32.360
Oh really, yeah, I think he did Spider Man and
887
00:45:32.360 --> 00:45:33.159
all that stuff, right.
888
00:45:33.119 --> 00:45:37.639
Oh, absolutely yeah, Batman, Dark Man, all that good stuff. Right.
889
00:45:39.360 --> 00:45:43.800
But it's one of I would say, probably one of
890
00:45:43.920 --> 00:45:48.760
Danny Elfman's best scores, I think, because this is something
891
00:45:48.960 --> 00:45:53.639
that I found very refreshing about the film, is that
892
00:45:54.800 --> 00:45:59.119
the music really does a great job of setting the
893
00:46:00.119 --> 00:46:03.440
the tone and the tension for the scenes in the movie.
894
00:46:03.639 --> 00:46:07.400
Because Danny Elfman has been doing film scores for so
895
00:46:07.519 --> 00:46:11.599
long that like he has a pretty good grasp on
896
00:46:12.239 --> 00:46:15.400
how to use music to elicit emotion. And there's so
897
00:46:15.519 --> 00:46:19.480
many different styles of music in this film. Early on,
898
00:46:20.159 --> 00:46:25.559
in Linda's house, we get this kind of I would say, homey,
899
00:46:25.760 --> 00:46:31.880
sort of angelic musical feel, right, But then when we
900
00:46:31.960 --> 00:46:35.039
get to the island now, as she starts to realize
901
00:46:35.159 --> 00:46:40.760
her predicament, the music is a lot more foreboding and
902
00:46:40.800 --> 00:46:44.000
almost kind of technical, And there's a great camera pan
903
00:46:44.239 --> 00:46:47.239
as the as she kind of is looking around, and
904
00:46:47.320 --> 00:46:52.239
the music is just kind of it's weird and sparse,
905
00:46:52.840 --> 00:46:55.320
and the camera is zooming out and the island is huge,
906
00:46:56.079 --> 00:46:59.199
and it's very digital of course, but at the same
907
00:46:59.280 --> 00:47:03.599
time I understand what they're going for, and the music
908
00:47:03.880 --> 00:47:07.719
and the visuals together I think create kind of a
909
00:47:07.800 --> 00:47:11.039
picture of the predicament that they're in, which is complete isolation.
910
00:47:12.239 --> 00:47:14.760
Yeah, the movie, like Beat for Bee, has a great
911
00:47:14.800 --> 00:47:17.440
way to keep drawing you into the movie. And one
912
00:47:17.480 --> 00:47:19.559
thing that I think will be just a really like
913
00:47:19.639 --> 00:47:23.280
good testament how excellent Danny Elfman was in this was
914
00:47:23.400 --> 00:47:25.800
this is my third time actually watching the movie, and
915
00:47:26.079 --> 00:47:28.800
I finally just you know, watching the credits this time
916
00:47:28.840 --> 00:47:31.199
pretty closely you realized that it was Danny Elfman, like
917
00:47:32.119 --> 00:47:33.960
I think in a lot of his other movies, especially
918
00:47:34.000 --> 00:47:36.159
you know, his Tim Burton era and such. You know,
919
00:47:36.239 --> 00:47:39.440
you could you hear some some Danny Elfman, you recognize
920
00:47:39.480 --> 00:47:42.519
it immediately, But no, I was just totally immersed and
921
00:47:42.599 --> 00:47:45.559
sucked in for two different watchings of this movie without
922
00:47:45.599 --> 00:47:47.920
every realizing it was him. So I think that that
923
00:47:48.039 --> 00:47:50.039
means he passed the bar. He passed the litmus.
924
00:47:49.760 --> 00:47:52.559
Test absolutely, and it also for me, it kind of
925
00:47:52.639 --> 00:47:55.639
highlights something that has kind of gone by the wayside
926
00:47:55.679 --> 00:47:58.880
with a lot of movies, is you know, the musical
927
00:47:58.960 --> 00:48:04.599
score and composer, it plays a vital role in, you know,
928
00:48:04.760 --> 00:48:08.400
really kind of bringing home the tone of your film.
929
00:48:08.960 --> 00:48:11.440
And I think I think Danny Elfman kind of really
930
00:48:11.599 --> 00:48:15.639
understands that, and that's something that you just don't not
931
00:48:15.920 --> 00:48:18.239
you don't see that as much anymore. It used to
932
00:48:18.280 --> 00:48:20.440
be like, I think we didn't know how good we
933
00:48:20.559 --> 00:48:22.599
had it because we took it for granted for so
934
00:48:22.760 --> 00:48:25.239
long that like so many movies had really good scores
935
00:48:25.320 --> 00:48:29.360
to it. But I think just in a modern sense,
936
00:48:29.400 --> 00:48:32.199
a lot of modern scores are just kind of forgettable.
937
00:48:33.199 --> 00:48:35.719
Yeah, not a whole lot of They don't signature, you know,
938
00:48:35.920 --> 00:48:36.760
stand out styles too.
939
00:48:37.000 --> 00:48:39.880
Yeah, they don't. They're not using the music for an
940
00:48:39.920 --> 00:48:42.440
emotional impact. They're just using it for like, oh, here's
941
00:48:42.480 --> 00:48:46.519
the theme or here's this, or here's that. But you know,
942
00:48:46.639 --> 00:48:49.800
the music is a character in itself. I feel like, yeah,
943
00:48:50.039 --> 00:48:50.599
Dad will.
944
00:48:52.079 --> 00:48:54.559
So I think, I guess while we're on trivia here,
945
00:48:54.599 --> 00:48:56.800
there's something you pointed out to me while watching that.
946
00:48:57.119 --> 00:49:00.119
Linda has a totally like shit laptop or whatever it.
947
00:49:00.199 --> 00:49:03.480
Oh yeah, yeah, like the dude bros have like super nice,
948
00:49:03.480 --> 00:49:04.119
sleek new ones.
949
00:49:04.280 --> 00:49:06.039
That was I ran across that in the trivia where
950
00:49:06.079 --> 00:49:08.840
said something like you can you can look at the
951
00:49:09.039 --> 00:49:13.719
HP logos on the laptops and see the difference because
952
00:49:14.880 --> 00:49:18.800
the CEO and the UH and the tech bros have
953
00:49:19.159 --> 00:49:22.400
like the the HP like the blade design I think
954
00:49:22.480 --> 00:49:24.840
is what they call it of the logo. So it's
955
00:49:24.880 --> 00:49:27.400
like they've got the high end laptops and then she's
956
00:49:27.440 --> 00:49:29.320
got like just the old clunker.
957
00:49:30.079 --> 00:49:32.639
Good visual nod for anyone in the know with that stuff.
958
00:49:33.079 --> 00:49:37.320
Yeah, yeah, it's just those it's just those little jabs, right,
959
00:49:37.599 --> 00:49:39.800
like you said, it's this movie's cathartic. Well, this is
960
00:49:39.840 --> 00:49:43.119
the kind of stuff that you see in a corporate position, right,
961
00:49:43.199 --> 00:49:46.159
It's these little petty things to like, you know, have
962
00:49:46.840 --> 00:49:48.280
pecking order and statuses.
963
00:49:48.519 --> 00:49:53.159
Right, So it's just and speaking of pecking order, it
964
00:49:53.239 --> 00:49:56.400
has now been reversed dramatically.
965
00:49:56.000 --> 00:49:59.280
Yeah kind of yeah. Yeah, he uh. He wakes up
966
00:49:59.360 --> 00:50:03.920
on the island. Then she's been she's starting a fire,
967
00:50:04.800 --> 00:50:08.519
like she's getting stuff going here. There's a part early
968
00:50:08.599 --> 00:50:11.719
on too where she's she breaks a rock to make
969
00:50:11.760 --> 00:50:15.000
a sharp edge, which then she uses that edge to cut,
970
00:50:16.400 --> 00:50:19.599
you know, giant leaves off of trees to make shelter,
971
00:50:20.800 --> 00:50:23.000
you know, again, this is this is her putting her
972
00:50:23.880 --> 00:50:27.840
knowledge to work. Ye, she's resourceful. Yeah. Yeah. So we've
973
00:50:27.880 --> 00:50:30.519
set this up in the beginning by just showing the books,
974
00:50:30.559 --> 00:50:32.840
and we made that connection as the audience that Okay,
975
00:50:33.840 --> 00:50:38.719
she's read these books, she's learned in survival techniques. It's
976
00:50:38.760 --> 00:50:42.039
not like she just like had them instantly, right, It's
977
00:50:42.039 --> 00:50:46.440
not like plot armor. No. But yeah, he wakes up.
978
00:50:46.920 --> 00:50:50.880
Badley wakes up and he's laying there propped up against
979
00:50:50.880 --> 00:50:56.360
a tree, right, and he's kind of doing the corporate thing, right,
980
00:50:56.400 --> 00:50:58.880
He's still trying to be like a boss, right, and
981
00:50:59.000 --> 00:51:01.639
he's like, why don't you you uh, what we be
982
00:51:01.800 --> 00:51:03.800
you know, should we be doing stuff, you know, like
983
00:51:04.039 --> 00:51:05.960
trying to get help, you know, shit like that. Right,
984
00:51:08.480 --> 00:51:10.119
maybe it might, this might happen a little bit later.
985
00:51:10.159 --> 00:51:13.320
But you said something too about how you said the
986
00:51:13.440 --> 00:51:17.880
dynamic shifts. And also like Linda as herself, like she
987
00:51:18.079 --> 00:51:22.320
changes almost instantly when she's on the island. Yeah, beforehand
988
00:51:22.400 --> 00:51:24.639
she looked a little you know, not to be offensive,
989
00:51:24.719 --> 00:51:26.400
but I don't know if we mentioned this, but this
990
00:51:26.519 --> 00:51:29.360
is Rachel McAdams, you know, she's oh, yeah, yeah, I
991
00:51:29.440 --> 00:51:30.159
forgot to mention that.
992
00:51:30.280 --> 00:51:32.800
Yeah, she's pretty, you know, she's regarded as a pretty
993
00:51:32.800 --> 00:51:35.880
brilliant actress and very well left. But in the office
994
00:51:35.960 --> 00:51:39.000
she looks a little grungy, little dingy. And now she
995
00:51:39.199 --> 00:51:41.880
on the island, she is coming alive and looking radiant.
996
00:51:42.960 --> 00:51:45.159
You know, she's looking good again. You know, she's trying herself.
997
00:51:45.400 --> 00:51:47.400
Yeah, she says it later on, she's like, look at you,
998
00:51:47.599 --> 00:51:49.559
you're thriving. Well, like she's thriving here.
999
00:51:49.639 --> 00:51:54.239
Right, yeah, like visibly, so you go girl, get him.
1000
00:51:54.800 --> 00:52:01.079
Yeah. But anyway, yeah, so uh and she's kind of like, uh,
1001
00:52:02.360 --> 00:52:03.960
you know, she's like, what did what did you say
1002
00:52:03.960 --> 00:52:05.880
to me? Like, you know, we're not we're not in
1003
00:52:05.920 --> 00:52:06.760
the office anymore.
1004
00:52:07.440 --> 00:52:10.519
Kind of says like literally ice in her veins, and
1005
00:52:10.639 --> 00:52:12.760
she like grabs her ship and leaves.
1006
00:52:14.039 --> 00:52:17.920
So yeah, so then she leaves. We get one of
1007
00:52:18.039 --> 00:52:23.079
your favorite cutaways here, uh, the pov on Bradley as
1008
00:52:23.159 --> 00:52:24.880
he's like just leaning up against this tree.
1009
00:52:25.519 --> 00:52:31.360
Yeah, it's like just almost the twelve stages of denial
1010
00:52:31.480 --> 00:52:32.239
or grief or whatever.
1011
00:52:32.360 --> 00:52:35.119
You know, he just goes through all right, all right,
1012
00:52:35.679 --> 00:52:38.159
you do this all day, you know, seriously, and he's
1013
00:52:38.239 --> 00:52:41.760
just like moment like and he finally likes CEO.
1014
00:52:41.960 --> 00:52:45.159
Slowly wither away into like I am not going to
1015
00:52:45.280 --> 00:52:46.960
survive this, please live.
1016
00:52:47.079 --> 00:52:50.199
God, Yeah, I need this help. Yeah, because the camera
1017
00:52:50.360 --> 00:52:52.840
like keeps panting past, you know, from he keeps moving
1018
00:52:52.880 --> 00:52:55.159
from right to left, and like it's almost like a
1019
00:52:55.679 --> 00:52:59.719
like a Flintstones cartoon where they yeah, at the time lapse, right,
1020
00:53:00.119 --> 00:53:03.519
and then he's got like the his mouths were dry
1021
00:53:03.559 --> 00:53:06.840
and everything. It's like she didn't leave any water, right, Well,
1022
00:53:06.880 --> 00:53:13.280
you get what you fucking deserve. Bang yeah. Yeah, So yeah,
1023
00:53:14.000 --> 00:53:17.519
that's pretty interesting because also too, I think I forgot
1024
00:53:17.559 --> 00:53:22.039
to mention that he had a pretty big like cut
1025
00:53:22.119 --> 00:53:24.960
in his leg. I think when she found him, Yes, right,
1026
00:53:25.039 --> 00:53:27.239
so she kind of like treated his wound and kind
1027
00:53:27.280 --> 00:53:29.159
of nursed him back to health.
1028
00:53:29.559 --> 00:53:31.800
You know, she's doing her best right now, he's still
1029
00:53:31.800 --> 00:53:33.400
a little worse for aware, but she's trying.
1030
00:53:33.679 --> 00:53:35.760
He's being a douchebag about it. He's like, well, shouldn't
1031
00:53:35.760 --> 00:53:37.039
we call for her help. She's like, I'm sorry, I
1032
00:53:37.159 --> 00:53:39.519
was a little too busy trying to survive and like
1033
00:53:39.880 --> 00:53:40.719
make sure you were.
1034
00:53:40.679 --> 00:53:43.880
Okay, yeah, keeping us alive, asshole, Yeah, priorities.
1035
00:53:44.119 --> 00:53:49.079
Yeah. Yeah. So she leaves for like two days and
1036
00:53:49.199 --> 00:53:52.440
then she comes back and she's like, look at me,
1037
00:53:53.199 --> 00:53:54.239
I'm the captain.
1038
00:53:54.039 --> 00:53:58.159
Now basic right, gives him some water and he's like.
1039
00:53:59.440 --> 00:54:03.840
We're not in the US anymore. So. But yeah, so
1040
00:54:05.719 --> 00:54:08.679
we see the and that's how this movie kind of
1041
00:54:08.719 --> 00:54:11.679
goes at ebbs and flows with you know, we start
1042
00:54:11.800 --> 00:54:17.239
to really develop the the tension between these two characters.
1043
00:54:17.599 --> 00:54:19.519
You know, the rest of the movie, majority of it's
1044
00:54:19.519 --> 00:54:23.159
about these two and so we've already seen this shift
1045
00:54:23.280 --> 00:54:30.880
now from you know, the boss dynamic. Right, So she's
1046
00:54:30.960 --> 00:54:34.599
kind of like, okay, like this is is how it is, right, Like,
1047
00:54:34.800 --> 00:54:38.840
drink this water. She's like, we got to eat, you know.
1048
00:54:39.119 --> 00:54:44.440
So she's uh getting ready to she's sharpening a stick, right,
1049
00:54:44.519 --> 00:54:46.840
and she's heating this thing up. She's like, yeah, I
1050
00:54:46.880 --> 00:54:49.519
think I saw some boor. There's some bore tracks out there.
1051
00:54:50.400 --> 00:54:53.960
And he's like Linda from accounting is gonna like hunt
1052
00:54:54.000 --> 00:54:56.079
a boor? Like he's just giving her shit about it, right,
1053
00:54:56.920 --> 00:55:02.760
little faith, She's like, strategy and play correction once again. Yeah,
1054
00:55:03.360 --> 00:55:07.119
so this is where we get the the boar hunting
1055
00:55:07.239 --> 00:55:10.199
scene brutal. This is always kind of a fun one.
1056
00:55:10.360 --> 00:55:14.960
So yeah, it's just kind of following the tracks through
1057
00:55:15.000 --> 00:55:19.079
the woods, and uh then we get uh, we get
1058
00:55:19.119 --> 00:55:22.159
the bores point of view, which is cool because we
1059
00:55:22.239 --> 00:55:25.039
get the evil deadcam, the evil evil cam. I guess
1060
00:55:25.039 --> 00:55:27.079
you could say it was the Sam Raimi trademark of
1061
00:55:27.199 --> 00:55:30.719
the camera moving uh super fast through the woods in
1062
00:55:30.800 --> 00:55:33.840
like first person view. Yeah, that that shaky cam. Yeah,
1063
00:55:33.960 --> 00:55:36.760
first person POV, the rush down thing. It was fun
1064
00:55:36.800 --> 00:55:40.079
to see that return. Yeah, I guess it's the part
1065
00:55:40.159 --> 00:55:42.760
three of the obligatory Sam Raimi stuff. Right, there's you know,
1066
00:55:42.880 --> 00:55:45.400
some some version of that that he tries to throw
1067
00:55:45.440 --> 00:55:49.440
in there. M hmmm hm. Yeah, we get the the
1068
00:55:49.599 --> 00:55:54.440
very obviously digital effects boor here again. Digital effects are fine,
1069
00:55:54.599 --> 00:55:59.519
but like they're just kind of they're they're not. It's
1070
00:55:59.559 --> 00:56:03.559
not millions of dollars of digital effects money. It's like
1071
00:56:03.719 --> 00:56:06.159
hundreds of thousands of dollars, right, Yeah, think about your
1072
00:56:06.199 --> 00:56:08.559
favorite PS two game. You didn't play that game because
1073
00:56:08.559 --> 00:56:11.360
the graphics at let's pump it up. Let's say PS three,
1074
00:56:11.760 --> 00:56:14.119
shut up. It's fine, it's you know, the gameplay was
1075
00:56:14.159 --> 00:56:16.280
good enough, and you're like, this is this is juicy.
1076
00:56:16.519 --> 00:56:18.519
I'm loving this right now. In the movie, just one
1077
00:56:18.599 --> 00:56:21.000
Hagrid with like triangle face.
1078
00:56:21.119 --> 00:56:25.320
Yeah, I'm gonna have nightmares now, thanks, but no, it's yeah,
1079
00:56:25.360 --> 00:56:27.320
the gameplay and the story is good enough here. You
1080
00:56:27.440 --> 00:56:30.079
know you're you're sucked in and you don't really you know,
1081
00:56:30.159 --> 00:56:32.559
you can tell that the graphics aren't amazing, but you
1082
00:56:32.639 --> 00:56:33.719
care about the story more than that.
1083
00:56:33.840 --> 00:56:39.199
Yeah. Uh but yeah. Then in true same Mary sam
1084
00:56:39.280 --> 00:56:41.840
Raimi fashion, we get a lot of blood and gore
1085
00:56:41.960 --> 00:56:46.400
here as the the boar comes charging out, uh knocks
1086
00:56:46.400 --> 00:56:51.199
her down, right, she's fighting it and uh and she
1087
00:56:51.320 --> 00:56:55.480
gets she gets the high ground of course, right and
1088
00:56:55.880 --> 00:56:59.039
he runs off, so she uh she drops down stabs
1089
00:56:59.079 --> 00:57:00.480
the boor like in.
1090
00:57:00.559 --> 00:57:04.880
The neck, literally like a sepher Off moment, like yeah,
1091
00:57:04.960 --> 00:57:08.400
we're gonna call this moore Earth and yeah, yeah seriously.
1092
00:57:08.119 --> 00:57:11.079
Yeah yeah, don't level him up if he's in your
1093
00:57:11.639 --> 00:57:15.880
don't leve him up word of the Yeah. Uh so yeah,
1094
00:57:15.960 --> 00:57:18.440
so we get the We get the bloody part here. Uh,
1095
00:57:18.639 --> 00:57:22.320
the boar charges her. She picks up the the other
1096
00:57:22.400 --> 00:57:25.719
broken half of the spear, and the boar impales himself
1097
00:57:25.920 --> 00:57:29.239
and she just gets a huge amount of blood and
1098
00:57:29.360 --> 00:57:34.119
snot all over her the double combo and true evil
1099
00:57:34.159 --> 00:57:37.119
dead fashion here, right, we get we get the gore scene,
1100
00:57:39.159 --> 00:57:42.719
just tons of excessive gore, blood and violence here.
1101
00:57:43.440 --> 00:57:47.800
But she is she best this thing. She she is victorious.
1102
00:57:47.960 --> 00:57:51.199
She is she is victorious. So yeah, wait, we saw
1103
00:57:51.280 --> 00:57:53.280
Mortal Kombat. We didn't mention we did. Yeah, we didn't
1104
00:57:53.280 --> 00:57:56.400
even talk about that t L d R Mortal Kombat. Yeah,
1105
00:57:56.440 --> 00:57:56.920
we'll get there.
1106
00:57:57.119 --> 00:58:00.280
No, what's your mid episode break on Mortal episode to
1107
00:58:00.320 --> 00:58:02.239
give you, you know, thirty seconds or last?
1108
00:58:02.960 --> 00:58:05.360
Okay, I thought it was great. I loved it. I
1109
00:58:05.440 --> 00:58:09.719
really enjoyed it. I thought it was true to more
1110
00:58:09.840 --> 00:58:13.199
true to the games in the story it was trying
1111
00:58:13.280 --> 00:58:14.679
to tell. I think it did a really good job
1112
00:58:14.760 --> 00:58:18.519
with the characters. The fight scenes were great. Baraka was awesome.
1113
00:58:20.639 --> 00:58:22.719
I liked most of it. I didn't like that they
1114
00:58:22.880 --> 00:58:25.039
set up for a third one. I would have preferred
1115
00:58:25.079 --> 00:58:28.760
a more complete film, but I've been saying that for years,
1116
00:58:29.000 --> 00:58:32.159
where like Iron Man two was like the first movie
1117
00:58:32.239 --> 00:58:35.199
where it was like, Okay, pay for the DLC and
1118
00:58:35.320 --> 00:58:38.639
installments in the storyline because obviously they're gonna make a
1119
00:58:38.679 --> 00:58:41.519
Mortal Combat three, and that's fine. But it was my
1120
00:58:41.639 --> 00:58:44.920
only complaint. Otherwise I enjoyed it quite a bit. Yeah,
1121
00:58:44.960 --> 00:58:45.800
I was in the other camp.
1122
00:58:45.840 --> 00:58:47.280
I thought that was cool. That they were setting up
1123
00:58:47.320 --> 00:58:49.800
for a larger story. You know, I like bread crumbs,
1124
00:58:49.800 --> 00:58:50.119
but I just.
1125
00:58:50.159 --> 00:58:53.719
Prefer complete movies and then make a sequel later. That's fine. Yeah,
1126
00:58:53.719 --> 00:58:57.719
that's cool. It's another strategy. But in my opinion, I
1127
00:58:57.760 --> 00:58:59.639
think it was Yeah, it was. It was awesome. It
1128
00:58:59.760 --> 00:59:01.679
was very fun video game of movie adaptation.
1129
00:59:01.880 --> 00:59:04.639
And what I think it did best is the pacing,
1130
00:59:04.840 --> 00:59:08.760
like just fights being like regularly and does like the
1131
00:59:08.840 --> 00:59:11.880
story was serviceable to keep those fights moving well enough
1132
00:59:11.920 --> 00:59:15.280
along where it didn't feel like, you know, totally ham fisted.
1133
00:59:15.400 --> 00:59:18.400
So yeah, excellent movie, great fights, great pace.
1134
00:59:18.639 --> 00:59:20.880
That's why you go to see Immortal Kombat film was
1135
00:59:20.920 --> 00:59:24.360
for the fights exactly. Yeah, Yeah, it was good. Cool.
1136
00:59:24.480 --> 00:59:26.360
Yeah, I think that was the one that was like
1137
00:59:26.440 --> 00:59:27.800
driving me us. I was like, I know, I see
1138
00:59:27.840 --> 00:59:28.880
something recently.
1139
00:59:28.559 --> 00:59:29.840
But yeah, I could think it was That's what it
1140
00:59:29.960 --> 00:59:31.400
was too. Yeah, I was trying to think of it,
1141
00:59:31.519 --> 00:59:35.239
but but no going getting back to send help. I
1142
00:59:35.280 --> 00:59:38.599
feel like the Boor scene probably was pretty divisive. I'm
1143
00:59:38.639 --> 00:59:43.400
guessing for a lot of audiences because for those of
1144
00:59:43.480 --> 00:59:46.480
us that know Sam Raimi and Sam Raimi films, you
1145
00:59:46.559 --> 00:59:49.280
know what to expect, right, But there's probably a large
1146
00:59:49.280 --> 00:59:52.679
majority of people that maybe went to see this movie
1147
00:59:53.880 --> 00:59:55.920
not knowing that there was going to be like such
1148
00:59:56.000 --> 01:00:00.960
excessive blood and violence in it. Woo. Yeah, so there's that.
1149
01:00:01.559 --> 01:00:01.920
I don't know.
1150
01:00:03.280 --> 01:00:04.760
But if you don't think of that when you think
1151
01:00:04.800 --> 01:00:07.679
of Rachel McAdams, you're not really thinking of like blood guts,
1152
01:00:08.000 --> 01:00:10.119
not really the leading star.
1153
01:00:10.199 --> 01:00:12.639
Not really. Uh. It's it's little things like this that
1154
01:00:12.760 --> 01:00:15.960
I think it's probably why this movie didn't get as
1155
01:00:16.000 --> 01:00:17.880
big as it probably could have been. But we'll see
1156
01:00:18.119 --> 01:00:20.760
what kind of legs it has on streaming. I hope
1157
01:00:20.800 --> 01:00:21.199
it has.
1158
01:00:21.480 --> 01:00:23.880
I hope it has a very long longevity to it
1159
01:00:23.960 --> 01:00:24.840
because it deserves it.
1160
01:00:25.079 --> 01:00:29.280
Yeah. But yeah, I enjoyed the the Gore part here.
1161
01:00:29.360 --> 01:00:30.800
I thought it was fun. It was a fun little
1162
01:00:30.840 --> 01:00:35.880
callback to early Sam Raimi stuff. You know, even if
1163
01:00:35.960 --> 01:00:38.440
the effects, the digital effects weren't great, it's fine.
1164
01:00:38.599 --> 01:00:40.400
Well it got me pretty good in the theaters. I
1165
01:00:40.440 --> 01:00:42.920
remember like it was dead and you're like, oh, thank.
1166
01:00:42.840 --> 01:00:48.159
God, right then it comes back alive. Kell it keell it. Yeah,
1167
01:00:48.880 --> 01:00:50.599
and then we cut to the next scene of her
1168
01:00:50.719 --> 01:00:53.199
just dropping the head in front of him as he's
1169
01:00:53.320 --> 01:00:57.440
laying in his h you know, makeshift stretcher and it
1170
01:00:57.519 --> 01:01:00.039
gets blood splattered all over him and she's like, do
1171
01:01:00.079 --> 01:01:00.639
you ever hunt?
1172
01:01:01.400 --> 01:01:04.920
I think I like it, Like it's just like death
1173
01:01:05.000 --> 01:01:06.000
in her crazy eyes.
1174
01:01:06.440 --> 01:01:10.920
Yeah, getting that dynamic shift right like, and he's just like,
1175
01:01:11.000 --> 01:01:13.760
what the what right? It's like I'm trying to sleep here,
1176
01:01:13.840 --> 01:01:18.599
you know. But then at this point, I think, is
1177
01:01:18.679 --> 01:01:24.599
this when uh she's kinda she's out foraging. I think
1178
01:01:24.760 --> 01:01:26.639
a little bit right, a little bit later or maybe
1179
01:01:26.719 --> 01:01:31.440
before this, where I think there's a boat, she sees
1180
01:01:31.480 --> 01:01:34.760
a boat. Yeah, she's she's out, yeah, kind of exploring
1181
01:01:34.800 --> 01:01:36.280
the island. A little bit afterwards.
1182
01:01:36.400 --> 01:01:38.719
Yeah, and then as she's going to that far side,
1183
01:01:38.920 --> 01:01:40.880
you know, on her own, and Bradley's legs are still
1184
01:01:40.960 --> 01:01:43.079
really backed up, so she's doing all the forging alone.
1185
01:01:43.559 --> 01:01:45.440
Then she gets to this far side, she kind of
1186
01:01:45.480 --> 01:01:48.119
comes to this cove, and then in this cove, Yeah,
1187
01:01:48.239 --> 01:01:49.840
sure enough, there's a freaking boat leaving.
1188
01:01:51.159 --> 01:01:54.159
She hides behind a tree and she's like not yet, yeah,
1189
01:01:54.559 --> 01:01:54.960
not yet.
1190
01:01:55.079 --> 01:01:57.719
She's because as we said, she is thriving here, so
1191
01:01:57.840 --> 01:01:58.079
she's not.
1192
01:01:58.119 --> 01:02:02.159
Ready to go back. Nope. No, I mean I know
1193
01:02:02.280 --> 01:02:05.719
people like this where you know, like I could see
1194
01:02:05.800 --> 01:02:08.840
this being like somewhat believable for somebody in this kind
1195
01:02:08.880 --> 01:02:12.320
of situation, right, they'd be like, no, I can't, I
1196
01:02:12.400 --> 01:02:14.639
can't go back yet, Like this is where I'm supposed
1197
01:02:14.679 --> 01:02:16.559
to be, right, this is what she thinks that she
1198
01:02:16.760 --> 01:02:19.119
is supposed to be here right now. Yeah, and she's
1199
01:02:19.159 --> 01:02:21.239
like this is where she belongs to this survivor super
1200
01:02:21.320 --> 01:02:25.440
fan yeah right, yeah, so yeah, she goes back and
1201
01:02:25.559 --> 01:02:28.639
then gosh, I want to say that.
1202
01:02:28.760 --> 01:02:30.920
I think shortly after she takes him on a little
1203
01:02:30.960 --> 01:02:32.039
excursion of the island.
1204
01:02:32.119 --> 01:02:35.079
Is that the next scene? Yeah? Oh you know what?
1205
01:02:35.239 --> 01:02:39.519
Before that, though, they do, they do have a brief
1206
01:02:39.840 --> 01:02:42.719
scene here when they're eating the boar after they've cooked it,
1207
01:02:43.519 --> 01:02:44.920
and they're like, this is the this is the best
1208
01:02:44.960 --> 01:02:48.000
meat ever, right, and they're joking about like she's like, yeah,
1209
01:02:48.000 --> 01:02:51.639
I brought home the bacon or whatever. This is a
1210
01:02:51.679 --> 01:02:55.679
pretty good moment between the two characters because they you know,
1211
01:02:55.800 --> 01:02:58.239
they're they're starting to get a little bit more familiar
1212
01:02:58.320 --> 01:03:01.880
with each other. Yeah. Right. There's little bits of this
1213
01:03:02.039 --> 01:03:06.800
throughout the movie where like there's some slightly authentic pieces
1214
01:03:07.079 --> 01:03:11.639
of character interaction between these two. Right, it feels like
1215
01:03:11.719 --> 01:03:16.480
there's maybe some genuine, actual bonding a little bit yeah, yeah,
1216
01:03:17.519 --> 01:03:22.960
but just with a there's always that like background of.
1217
01:03:25.239 --> 01:03:29.000
Who yeah, yeah, you can't rule any of them out right.
1218
01:03:29.880 --> 01:03:31.440
But yeah, this is I think when she takes him
1219
01:03:31.480 --> 01:03:35.239
on the on the tour, I think, or before that. No,
1220
01:03:35.360 --> 01:03:39.679
she discovers that waterfall, right, and she's, uh, she's looking
1221
01:03:39.679 --> 01:03:42.119
at the waterfall. I think that's mostly she just figures
1222
01:03:42.159 --> 01:03:44.159
out she's thriving here. And I don't think it like
1223
01:03:44.679 --> 01:03:46.800
adds a ton to it. But no, but there was
1224
01:03:46.840 --> 01:03:49.840
a cool musical motif here I noticed with the Elfman
1225
01:03:49.920 --> 01:03:53.960
score because some of the music here reminded me of
1226
01:03:56.000 --> 01:04:00.760
in the Tim Burton Batman when brew Swain goes and
1227
01:04:00.840 --> 01:04:06.360
drops flowers on his parents' murder site and kind of
1228
01:04:06.400 --> 01:04:09.559
had that same musical motif here. I feel like that
1229
01:04:09.760 --> 01:04:13.639
sort of like wistful fantasy of like I wish I
1230
01:04:13.719 --> 01:04:16.360
wish things were different. I think wistful is a good
1231
01:04:16.400 --> 01:04:20.079
word for that. Yeah, just like this ethereal sort of
1232
01:04:20.400 --> 01:04:22.599
kind of vibe to it. Yeah. Again, that's that's what
1233
01:04:22.719 --> 01:04:25.840
a good composer does to really like draw out the
1234
01:04:25.880 --> 01:04:28.360
emotion in the scene. Right. I think it's played really
1235
01:04:28.400 --> 01:04:31.599
well here. Again, it's subtle. Like you said, you probably
1236
01:04:31.679 --> 01:04:34.039
didn't really notice it at first. It was Danny Effman,
1237
01:04:34.159 --> 01:04:38.280
but like subconsciously, like that was probably helping you understand
1238
01:04:38.320 --> 01:04:42.679
the scene, which is the importance of music in a movie.
1239
01:04:42.599 --> 01:04:45.280
Like this, Yeah, like this this uplifting moment for her.
1240
01:04:45.400 --> 01:04:50.840
M But yeah, she's given him the tour around the island.
1241
01:04:52.400 --> 01:04:57.039
She takes him up around like the uh, like the
1242
01:04:57.440 --> 01:04:59.440
rocky pass right, the short cut.
1243
01:04:59.400 --> 01:05:02.840
Yeah, big old overpass, you know, overhanging some some rocky bluffs.
1244
01:05:03.159 --> 01:05:06.000
Yeah, and shows him like, you know, you look, there's
1245
01:05:06.119 --> 01:05:09.360
there's nothing out there. It's just ocean everything.
1246
01:05:09.480 --> 01:05:13.360
The light touches will be right YEA. Not a lion
1247
01:05:13.440 --> 01:05:16.000
king moment, but there is this like x kind of
1248
01:05:16.199 --> 01:05:20.960
rock in the distance, and she's like, so well, so sorry.
1249
01:05:21.000 --> 01:05:24.480
Before that, she gives him this little nature moment where
1250
01:05:24.480 --> 01:05:26.679
she's like, if you're wondering what berries to eat while
1251
01:05:26.719 --> 01:05:30.159
we're forging, don't eat anything like white or bullue or
1252
01:05:30.239 --> 01:05:33.920
something lives a few colors. And then she's like, for example,
1253
01:05:34.079 --> 01:05:36.079
there's this one right here, this orangish berry.
1254
01:05:36.480 --> 01:05:37.960
He's like, if you ever want to know if it's
1255
01:05:38.000 --> 01:05:39.960
poisonous or not, you know, she wraps on her skin.
1256
01:05:40.039 --> 01:05:42.719
She's like, we get a reaction, Do not go near him,
1257
01:05:42.719 --> 01:05:44.480
don't eat them, you know, like these will make you sick,
1258
01:05:44.519 --> 01:05:47.960
because she She then points out to this other vast
1259
01:05:48.039 --> 01:05:51.679
swath of the island where this gigantic X rock is.
1260
01:05:52.280 --> 01:05:54.880
She says, that place is just covered in nasty, poisonous
1261
01:05:54.920 --> 01:05:55.639
berries and stuff.
1262
01:05:56.440 --> 01:05:59.800
No bother going over there. Yeah, yeah, you see that
1263
01:06:00.159 --> 01:06:01.880
mark with the X. X won't give it to you,
1264
01:06:02.159 --> 01:06:04.480
So stay away from there.
1265
01:06:04.599 --> 01:06:07.079
Mister X is literally going to give it to you, right, yeah,
1266
01:06:07.199 --> 01:06:07.880
please don't.
1267
01:06:08.079 --> 01:06:11.639
Yeah. Yeah, it's kind of a limpse away XC it
1268
01:06:11.679 --> 01:06:14.880
to it. It's kind of a like a Checkov's Berry's situation, right,
1269
01:06:15.079 --> 01:06:19.079
Like she's telling him like these are poisonous and you're like, okay,
1270
01:06:19.119 --> 01:06:21.480
this is gonna pop up again. No, we're on checkofs cliffs.
1271
01:06:21.760 --> 01:06:23.880
We're getting there. There's a couple of moments. Yeah, there's
1272
01:06:23.920 --> 01:06:27.360
a lot of checkoffs. Yeah, there's there's a couple because
1273
01:06:27.400 --> 01:06:29.880
she's like, all right, let's turn around, and she's going back.
1274
01:06:30.039 --> 01:06:33.400
You know, they're walking around the Cliffs of Despair.
1275
01:06:33.840 --> 01:06:36.320
Yeah, he's still hobbling with his janky leg.
1276
01:06:36.639 --> 01:06:39.280
Yeah, and then uh, you know, she's walking along the
1277
01:06:39.320 --> 01:06:41.880
cliff and part of the rock falls and so she's
1278
01:06:42.519 --> 01:06:45.800
hanging for dear life right like over the precipice of
1279
01:06:47.079 --> 01:06:48.760
potentially falling into the ocean.
1280
01:06:49.199 --> 01:06:51.159
Right, it's like probably like one hundred feet up and yeah,
1281
01:06:51.280 --> 01:06:53.119
just suddenly like crumbled out underneath her.
1282
01:06:53.280 --> 01:06:58.199
Yeah. So yeah, he saves her. You know that was
1283
01:06:58.280 --> 01:07:01.599
probably kind of that's a moment I think, you know,
1284
01:07:02.000 --> 01:07:05.920
for the two of them. You know, she's probably grateful
1285
01:07:06.599 --> 01:07:09.360
for him saving her and he's probably reluctant to do it,
1286
01:07:09.480 --> 01:07:11.199
but you know, it's one of those things. So that's
1287
01:07:12.119 --> 01:07:14.440
this movie is just really about the ebb and flow
1288
01:07:14.480 --> 01:07:17.280
of these characters and how they cohabitate.
1289
01:07:18.159 --> 01:07:21.679
Absolutely. Yeah, Bradley definitely had some some character building right
1290
01:07:21.719 --> 01:07:24.679
there where he was he was heroic.
1291
01:07:27.199 --> 01:07:31.320
Yeah, And then I think was it that night then
1292
01:07:33.039 --> 01:07:40.800
they she makes him dinner right, like sushi and fruit.
1293
01:07:41.440 --> 01:07:45.840
I think the next morning he like approaches her or
1294
01:07:45.880 --> 01:07:47.199
something right for like.
1295
01:07:47.480 --> 01:07:49.920
Oh that's right, Yeah, that's right. It's a little bit later.
1296
01:07:49.960 --> 01:07:52.320
Kind of like with h the reverse of like her
1297
01:07:52.480 --> 01:07:53.679
being mad about the promotion.
1298
01:07:53.880 --> 01:07:57.239
Yeah, he's in her office. Yeah, he's douchey again.
1299
01:07:58.119 --> 01:08:00.039
They do a little bit of like role play, a
1300
01:08:00.119 --> 01:08:02.760
bit of KOI is sort of like playing beating around
1301
01:08:02.800 --> 01:08:06.480
the bush where he's more or less begging for food,
1302
01:08:07.320 --> 01:08:09.039
and then right and she's like, well, what.
1303
01:08:09.039 --> 01:08:14.280
Would you do for this sushi? Mm hmmm hmm, that's right, yeah, yeah,
1304
01:08:14.360 --> 01:08:21.039
because then he's kind of oh no, that's later. I think,
1305
01:08:21.119 --> 01:08:24.800
isn't that later that he comes back begging? This is
1306
01:08:24.880 --> 01:08:29.520
earlier on. I think at this point, I think, isn't
1307
01:08:29.520 --> 01:08:34.359
this when she had the uh makes the moonshine? Or
1308
01:08:34.439 --> 01:08:35.800
no before it? That's later.
1309
01:08:36.000 --> 01:08:38.479
No, this is the part where it all like all
1310
01:08:38.560 --> 01:08:40.479
this entire movie happens on the islands, so a lot
1311
01:08:40.479 --> 01:08:41.760
of these scenes kind of blur together.
1312
01:08:41.880 --> 01:08:43.600
It does, no, I think. So, like I was talking
1313
01:08:43.600 --> 01:08:45.119
about the EBB and flow, I think this is back
1314
01:08:45.159 --> 01:08:47.720
to him being a douchebag at this point, because that's
1315
01:08:47.800 --> 01:08:51.640
right because she's like, well, you wouldn't be anything, you know,
1316
01:08:51.880 --> 01:08:54.880
the company that your father built, right, And he's like, oh,
1317
01:08:55.119 --> 01:08:58.119
you know, you're so fired, And she's like, oh, you know,
1318
01:08:58.359 --> 01:09:00.520
fire me. I don't care. I'm on this island, you know.
1319
01:09:00.640 --> 01:09:03.279
Send my paycheck to the the hut on the left
1320
01:09:03.319 --> 01:09:05.560
over here, right, And this is when I think he
1321
01:09:05.720 --> 01:09:10.239
goes off to like make his own you know, encampment
1322
01:09:10.760 --> 01:09:12.399
with blackjack and hookers.
1323
01:09:12.439 --> 01:09:15.720
Right right, Yeah, and then he comes back kind of groveling.
1324
01:09:16.000 --> 01:09:17.159
Yeah, that's what it is.
1325
01:09:17.479 --> 01:09:19.319
Yeah, after he had tried to go off on his
1326
01:09:19.399 --> 01:09:20.279
own and fail.
1327
01:09:20.119 --> 01:09:22.600
Because he's limping, you know, is he shouldn't be putting
1328
01:09:22.640 --> 01:09:24.600
weight on the leg and stuff, and so like he's
1329
01:09:24.680 --> 01:09:27.399
trying to like a copy of the ship that she
1330
01:09:27.560 --> 01:09:30.399
did and of course failing at it. Right. This is
1331
01:09:30.439 --> 01:09:34.920
another good musical bit here with the score because it
1332
01:09:35.079 --> 01:09:38.600
just has a particular feel to it as far as
1333
01:09:38.760 --> 01:09:42.479
like the the use of the drums and the the
1334
01:09:42.600 --> 01:09:45.399
heightened tension of the music is. You know, it's kind
1335
01:09:45.399 --> 01:09:48.000
of like it's him trying to do the things that
1336
01:09:48.119 --> 01:09:51.000
he saw her do and he's failing miserably at them, right,
1337
01:09:51.680 --> 01:09:53.960
And then that's when he comes back, That's right.
1338
01:09:53.920 --> 01:09:58.039
He comes back graveling tail between his legs. Yeah, there's
1339
01:09:58.039 --> 01:10:00.159
a kind of like that Koy like reverse off this
1340
01:10:00.279 --> 01:10:03.920
dynamic where she's clearly the one in charge and he's
1341
01:10:04.680 --> 01:10:07.159
more or less like the bottom of the totem pole
1342
01:10:07.359 --> 01:10:09.399
is sort of like begging her for scraps.
1343
01:10:09.640 --> 01:10:11.239
And this is the moment too where she kind of
1344
01:10:11.279 --> 01:10:13.720
tells him, She's like, well, how how much you know,
1345
01:10:13.880 --> 01:10:16.159
above and beyond her. Are you willing to go for this?
1346
01:10:16.760 --> 01:10:19.720
And he starts to take his shirt off, and she's like, no, no,
1347
01:10:21.039 --> 01:10:26.439
I'm not like She's like, I'm not like you, you know,
1348
01:10:26.760 --> 01:10:30.800
like I would never do that m which we'll find
1349
01:10:30.840 --> 01:10:34.039
out later if that's true or not. But yes, she is.
1350
01:10:34.399 --> 01:10:35.079
She's brutal.
1351
01:10:35.279 --> 01:10:41.439
Yeah, so reluctantly, like she does accept to bring him
1352
01:10:41.520 --> 01:10:44.760
back right to you know, give him some food, because
1353
01:10:44.760 --> 01:10:47.399
she's been eating the whole time, like fresh fruit, fresh
1354
01:10:47.640 --> 01:10:51.239
fresh sushi, you know, shit like that. She's eating good.
1355
01:10:51.560 --> 01:10:53.880
Yeah, And then I think this is where the moonshine
1356
01:10:53.920 --> 01:10:54.159
comes in.
1357
01:10:54.279 --> 01:10:56.039
This is where the moonshine comes in. But it'll break
1358
01:10:56.079 --> 01:10:58.399
it some bread maybe. Yeah. But right before that, though,
1359
01:10:58.479 --> 01:11:01.920
we are introduced to again. Something that this movie does
1360
01:11:02.199 --> 01:11:04.319
is that I think it does really well. Is it.
1361
01:11:05.119 --> 01:11:08.880
It ratchets up the tension slowly in certain moments, right.
1362
01:11:09.000 --> 01:11:12.880
It introduces things throughout the movie that just heightened the tension.
1363
01:11:13.760 --> 01:11:16.800
And in this case, this little scene here between the
1364
01:11:16.880 --> 01:11:20.239
two of them sharing a meal, he looks down and
1365
01:11:20.239 --> 01:11:24.439
inspies what looks to be like a kitchen knife. Oh yeah,
1366
01:11:24.760 --> 01:11:27.279
so that's interesting. Now that you've got two people stuck
1367
01:11:27.319 --> 01:11:29.720
in an island, and now you put one knife in
1368
01:11:29.840 --> 01:11:32.760
between two characters on the island, you see what happens. Yeah,
1369
01:11:33.000 --> 01:11:36.520
She's like, you would be amazed at what washes up
1370
01:11:36.600 --> 01:11:38.399
on islands, you know, if you kind of keep your
1371
01:11:38.439 --> 01:11:40.239
eye out for the stuff. And that was kind of
1372
01:11:40.319 --> 01:11:43.039
the thing earlier where when he was giving her shit
1373
01:11:43.199 --> 01:11:45.600
early on, where he was like, well, shouldn't you be
1374
01:11:45.760 --> 01:11:48.359
like waiting to see like what washes up, Like maybe
1375
01:11:48.399 --> 01:11:50.399
there's some stuff from the plane that we can use.
1376
01:11:50.760 --> 01:11:52.880
Yeah, he is just like, how the fuck do I
1377
01:11:52.920 --> 01:11:54.359
get out of here and get back to my life?
1378
01:11:54.399 --> 01:11:56.399
And she is just like he's trying to boss his
1379
01:11:56.479 --> 01:11:57.279
way out of it, right.
1380
01:11:57.560 --> 01:11:59.319
Well yeah, and she sat up here for the long haul.
1381
01:12:01.800 --> 01:12:03.960
But yeah, so she makes a she makes a fancy,
1382
01:12:04.119 --> 01:12:08.439
fancy meal, they get drunk. Yeah, she's like, uh, you know,
1383
01:12:08.560 --> 01:12:11.000
you ever heard of toilet wine? You know, stuff that
1384
01:12:11.079 --> 01:12:13.239
prisoners make. It's fermented food or whatever.
1385
01:12:13.600 --> 01:12:16.319
Don't threaten me with a good time, right, Yeah, she's like, well, actually,
1386
01:12:16.319 --> 01:12:16.880
already made some.
1387
01:12:17.000 --> 01:12:19.000
You want to get drunk. He's like hell yeah.
1388
01:12:19.600 --> 01:12:21.680
So this kind of reminds me of the scene of
1389
01:12:21.720 --> 01:12:25.079
Pirates of the Caribbean with Jack Sparrow and Kieren Knightley's character,
1390
01:12:25.239 --> 01:12:28.560
you know, yeah, desolate island, and it's just.
1391
01:12:28.640 --> 01:12:32.319
Like, yeah, pretty much, what are you gonna do? Right right? Yeah,
1392
01:12:33.359 --> 01:12:36.039
it's a good tension breaker. But I like the scene too.
1393
01:12:37.399 --> 01:12:40.159
I like the scene of the two characters sitting by
1394
01:12:40.239 --> 01:12:44.039
the fire having you know, been drunk off their ass,
1395
01:12:44.199 --> 01:12:47.439
probably on toilet wine. But also like this is probably
1396
01:12:47.479 --> 01:12:50.720
the most heartfelt scene that these two characters get to
1397
01:12:50.800 --> 01:12:54.079
share in the movie because they both open up to
1398
01:12:54.159 --> 01:13:00.520
each other about themselves. Right. We learn from Brawndly that
1399
01:13:01.159 --> 01:13:07.079
he had a pretty awful childhood growing up, which was
1400
01:13:07.239 --> 01:13:10.239
kind of like, you know, in his way why he
1401
01:13:10.359 --> 01:13:12.640
turned out the way that he did, right, because he
1402
01:13:12.680 --> 01:13:17.920
had this terrible childhood. We learned from Linda that Linda
1403
01:13:18.079 --> 01:13:24.319
was married once, right, right, and she then proceeds to
1404
01:13:24.439 --> 01:13:29.880
tell this story about how you know, you go along
1405
01:13:30.600 --> 01:13:33.920
and you just kind of lied to yourself because you
1406
01:13:33.960 --> 01:13:38.319
don't want to be alone, and you know, she find out,
1407
01:13:38.399 --> 01:13:42.119
you find out that her husband was a raging alcoholic
1408
01:13:43.279 --> 01:13:47.079
did some some things that went really too far even
1409
01:13:47.119 --> 01:13:49.439
for him. According to her monologe. She does a great
1410
01:13:49.560 --> 01:13:52.920
This is a great monologue. I think by Rachel McAdams
1411
01:13:52.960 --> 01:13:57.239
here because I think she really sells the scene because
1412
01:13:57.279 --> 01:13:59.479
it does kind of paint that picture of, you know,
1413
01:13:59.560 --> 01:14:04.279
somebody that that sticks around in a potentially abusive relationship
1414
01:14:04.960 --> 01:14:09.560
because they're afraid to they don't want to be alone, right,
1415
01:14:11.039 --> 01:14:15.800
So she tells the She tells Bradley basically, you know,
1416
01:14:15.880 --> 01:14:20.039
one night he got really drunk, and she's like, I
1417
01:14:20.439 --> 01:14:22.560
used to hide his keys from him when he got drunk,
1418
01:14:22.600 --> 01:14:25.479
but this one night he went too far. I put
1419
01:14:25.560 --> 01:14:28.680
the keys out and I poured him his last drink
1420
01:14:29.479 --> 01:14:31.159
and then he drove off and he died in a
1421
01:14:31.239 --> 01:14:34.000
car accident. And then she's like, I've never told that
1422
01:14:34.079 --> 01:14:35.039
to anybody.
1423
01:14:36.199 --> 01:14:38.720
And then she stared at him, like through his soul.
1424
01:14:39.039 --> 01:14:41.840
Yeah, She's like, we're never leaving this island.
1425
01:14:42.359 --> 01:14:45.319
Literally, Like she didn't say that with the gay she
1426
01:14:45.399 --> 01:14:48.199
gives him like ya, literally, like it goes deep into her,
1427
01:14:48.439 --> 01:14:49.039
into his soul.
1428
01:14:49.279 --> 01:14:51.720
Yeah. But I think I think that's a good scene though,
1429
01:14:51.840 --> 01:14:56.960
because I think you know both of these characters, you know,
1430
01:14:57.039 --> 01:14:59.279
they just open up to each other, and that's like
1431
01:14:59.359 --> 01:15:01.920
the only time in the film in which like they
1432
01:15:02.039 --> 01:15:06.640
have like an honest interaction between each other without any
1433
01:15:06.720 --> 01:15:12.039
sort of like malice underlying it. Yeah, I agree, and
1434
01:15:12.800 --> 01:15:13.560
that kind of reminds me.
1435
01:15:13.680 --> 01:15:17.159
There's the scene that happened right before this with the
1436
01:15:17.239 --> 01:15:19.520
knife dynamic that we were talking about. It's so like
1437
01:15:19.600 --> 01:15:21.680
tiptoe a beating around the bush, you know, like you've
1438
01:15:21.720 --> 01:15:24.079
mentioned this as an authentic scene that I'm the one.
1439
01:15:24.159 --> 01:15:26.359
You know, they're they're kind of like, you know, it's
1440
01:15:26.399 --> 01:15:29.399
a very serious conversation, but they're still talking about it
1441
01:15:29.520 --> 01:15:33.560
in almost like office speak, you know, where he's like, well,
1442
01:15:34.239 --> 01:15:36.119
I could kill you and take the sushi, and she's like,
1443
01:15:36.239 --> 01:15:37.239
what would you do tomorrow?
1444
01:15:37.399 --> 01:15:38.399
Haha? You know.
1445
01:15:38.760 --> 01:15:40.880
Yeah, it's not genuine at all.
1446
01:15:42.119 --> 01:15:44.319
No, it's a it's like an interaction you would have
1447
01:15:44.600 --> 01:15:48.439
with a coworker that you're kind of chummy with, but
1448
01:15:48.600 --> 01:15:51.560
only at work. Right. Yeah, it's like a like a
1449
01:15:51.720 --> 01:15:56.560
workplace friend, but this like this conversation about you know,
1450
01:15:56.640 --> 01:16:00.680
his past and you know her relationship with her her husband. Yeah,
1451
01:16:00.720 --> 01:16:02.840
it's like I feel like the shields are down a
1452
01:16:02.880 --> 01:16:06.800
little bit, and yeah, they're they're real with each other. Yeah,
1453
01:16:07.399 --> 01:16:11.439
it's the only time it happens, really And then the
1454
01:16:11.520 --> 01:16:14.800
next morning you pointed this out because she wakes up
1455
01:16:15.039 --> 01:16:18.560
on the beach. We get this puovy like overhead shot
1456
01:16:18.640 --> 01:16:20.920
of her, like she's slept on the beach all night.
1457
01:16:21.399 --> 01:16:23.199
There's like handprints like right next.
1458
01:16:23.119 --> 01:16:26.520
To her, pretty deep, you know, sunken into the sand,
1459
01:16:26.680 --> 01:16:29.079
hand things to not just kind of like lightly graysed
1460
01:16:29.119 --> 01:16:32.800
the sand, pretty deep sunk in, you know, noticeable handprints
1461
01:16:32.920 --> 01:16:35.680
around her head, right, you know, like you know, a
1462
01:16:35.840 --> 01:16:37.720
level with her head, you know less right, So.
1463
01:16:37.720 --> 01:16:40.840
It's pretty subtle, but like it's it's, yeah, it's kind
1464
01:16:40.880 --> 01:16:45.439
of implied that you know, they probably were pretty intimate
1465
01:16:45.600 --> 01:16:49.000
that night after getting drunk on toilet wine, brown chick,
1466
01:16:49.199 --> 01:16:51.880
brown cow. Yeah, I mean you're stuck on an island.
1467
01:16:51.920 --> 01:16:56.119
What are you gonna do? Right? So Lock likes next question, right,
1468
01:16:57.600 --> 01:17:00.119
But then yeah, she wakes up the next morning he
1469
01:17:00.199 --> 01:17:04.119
sees him like kind of bathing in the in the ocean.
1470
01:17:04.520 --> 01:17:12.800
She says, limy smell, Yo, it's an oldie. It's a goodie. Yep,
1471
01:17:13.119 --> 01:17:17.520
absolutely right, it's an oldie where I come from. But
1472
01:17:18.000 --> 01:17:21.880
your kids are gonna love it, so right. But yeah,
1473
01:17:22.000 --> 01:17:24.039
it's it's kind of like the scene was kind of
1474
01:17:24.119 --> 01:17:26.319
like her waking up, you know, the morning after one
1475
01:17:26.399 --> 01:17:28.439
night stand and he's in the shower or whatever. It's like,
1476
01:17:28.479 --> 01:17:33.199
oh okay, and she leaves whatever. So yeah, and again
1477
01:17:33.319 --> 01:17:39.159
not not you know, just kind of like inferred I guess, right, Like, yeah, it's.
1478
01:17:40.039 --> 01:17:42.399
Kind of environmental storytelling if you want to look into
1479
01:17:42.439 --> 01:17:44.039
it that way. But it's it's you know, it's on
1480
01:17:44.119 --> 01:17:45.880
the table for you to to take it or leave it.
1481
01:17:46.079 --> 01:17:53.880
Yeah. Yeah. And then after so after that night, you
1482
01:17:53.960 --> 01:17:56.720
know that they shared the the intimate moment Bradly like
1483
01:17:56.840 --> 01:18:00.439
he's he's nice to her, you know, and he kind
1484
01:18:00.479 --> 01:18:04.560
of offers to cook her dinner, you know, like a couple.
1485
01:18:05.600 --> 01:18:05.760
Yeah.
1486
01:18:05.960 --> 01:18:08.039
Yeah, you've been taking care of me and my bomass,
1487
01:18:08.159 --> 01:18:10.319
leg I can do something nice for you. Yeah, She's like,
1488
01:18:10.560 --> 01:18:13.279
you know what, like that would be really nice. So
1489
01:18:15.239 --> 01:18:17.840
let's see how that plays out. Yeah. Again, like I mean,
1490
01:18:17.920 --> 01:18:21.359
she's she's trying to she's being authentic, she's being her
1491
01:18:21.720 --> 01:18:26.079
like you know, she's not seeing anything bad about that.
1492
01:18:26.880 --> 01:18:29.119
Yeah, it's almost like, you know, they're kind of leveling
1493
01:18:29.239 --> 01:18:31.600
up their relationship a little bit and he's now kind
1494
01:18:31.640 --> 01:18:33.399
of like stepping up for his end of the market,
1495
01:18:33.800 --> 01:18:34.560
for his side of things.
1496
01:18:34.960 --> 01:18:37.840
Yeah, but there was a thing I forgot to mention earlier.
1497
01:18:38.079 --> 01:18:41.920
I think when you know during the survival part in
1498
01:18:41.960 --> 01:18:44.119
the beginning where he was like, oh, we should build
1499
01:18:44.159 --> 01:18:47.720
a raft. Oh yes, Like he's pretty hell bent on
1500
01:18:47.800 --> 01:18:49.720
this raft. We need to get out there and get
1501
01:18:49.760 --> 01:18:54.640
into the shipping lanes and you know, be seen. And
1502
01:18:54.760 --> 01:18:57.199
she's like, well, that's like, yeah, if we have nothing
1503
01:18:57.279 --> 01:18:59.640
else to do, yeah, that's a great idea. But otherwise
1504
01:18:59.680 --> 01:19:02.439
she's like, that's a pretty terrible idea. You know, somebody
1505
01:19:02.479 --> 01:19:04.359
that's read all these survival books and be like, hey,
1506
01:19:04.399 --> 01:19:05.000
don't want to do that.
1507
01:19:05.279 --> 01:19:07.920
Yeah, island is much safer for an open ocean, believe
1508
01:19:07.960 --> 01:19:08.199
it or.
1509
01:19:08.239 --> 01:19:11.399
Not, right, right, So keep that in the back of
1510
01:19:11.399 --> 01:19:17.560
your mind there. But yeah, so Bradley offers to cook
1511
01:19:17.600 --> 01:19:21.399
heer meal so kind and uh yeah the next night
1512
01:19:21.520 --> 01:19:27.720
there they're sitting there and uh, you know, he's made
1513
01:19:27.880 --> 01:19:33.359
like sushi and some kind of you know, mango thing. Right,
1514
01:19:33.479 --> 01:19:35.560
you just got to use what you have on the island.
1515
01:19:36.800 --> 01:19:39.640
The only thing the island had was an old Taco John's, right,
1516
01:19:39.760 --> 01:19:42.560
So you just here's a here's a taco Bravo from
1517
01:19:42.840 --> 01:19:45.560
like six months ago. Take all this slander towards Taco
1518
01:19:45.680 --> 01:19:50.760
John's back. What Isco John's is great? Like just I'm
1519
01:19:50.840 --> 01:19:52.439
just trying to to get a rise out of it.
1520
01:19:52.840 --> 01:19:55.479
There's got to be something like Randy's frozen custard. That's
1521
01:19:55.880 --> 01:20:01.000
that's the gold standard. No, what's like, what's Randy's.
1522
01:20:01.000 --> 01:20:04.680
There a universally hated restaurant we could dunk on right now, Arby's.
1523
01:20:04.720 --> 01:20:06.079
People hate Arby's they do.
1524
01:20:06.760 --> 01:20:09.680
Yeah, oh, first I've heard of it. But yeah, people
1525
01:20:10.119 --> 01:20:11.840
hate Arby's. They're expensive.
1526
01:20:13.600 --> 01:20:15.119
What else is another one people hate?
1527
01:20:15.720 --> 01:20:18.399
I don't know. I'm sure there's something. Everybody's got a regional,
1528
01:20:20.000 --> 01:20:21.439
regional fast food that they hate.
1529
01:20:21.880 --> 01:20:23.600
So we'll just plug in Arby's for now.
1530
01:20:23.760 --> 01:20:26.199
There you go. Yeah, it's your version of Arby's, you
1531
01:20:26.239 --> 01:20:29.399
know whatever. So, yeah, he's cooked her with this meal.
1532
01:20:31.199 --> 01:20:34.119
She starts eating it, and then there's another fun camera
1533
01:20:34.199 --> 01:20:40.640
bit here because she kind of looks down at the sushi.
1534
01:20:40.760 --> 01:20:43.479
There's one piece missing because she hated piece. And then
1535
01:20:43.560 --> 01:20:45.600
she looks at him and then his voice starts to
1536
01:20:45.640 --> 01:20:48.520
get a little weird and the camera starts to lose
1537
01:20:48.600 --> 01:20:50.239
focus or whatever, and so then.
1538
01:20:50.199 --> 01:20:53.479
She orange spread over the top of this sushi. Yeah,
1539
01:20:53.520 --> 01:20:56.319
a little bit of what color were those berries again?
1540
01:20:56.359 --> 01:20:59.159
Yeah? I think they were kind of orangeish too. Yeah. Interesting,
1541
01:20:59.359 --> 01:21:02.279
Yeah it is. Uh so yeah, she kind of gets
1542
01:21:02.279 --> 01:21:06.119
a little woozy, she falls down, uh you know, kind
1543
01:21:06.119 --> 01:21:10.920
of starts immediately starts choking up right, like, and so
1544
01:21:11.039 --> 01:21:14.239
what's he do? Like he just runs off, yeah, into
1545
01:21:14.239 --> 01:21:16.199
the woods, and he runs into the woods and he's
1546
01:21:16.199 --> 01:21:20.319
got this makeshift raft that he's just he's just thrown
1547
01:21:20.359 --> 01:21:21.319
it out into the ocean.
1548
01:21:21.439 --> 01:21:21.560
Right.
1549
01:21:21.880 --> 01:21:24.159
It is such a proud moment for him. It's such
1550
01:21:24.319 --> 01:21:26.000
like he feels like it's such a gotcha thing where
1551
01:21:26.039 --> 01:21:26.479
he's like, ha ha.
1552
01:21:26.680 --> 01:21:31.199
My raft ha. Yeah, just like barely stitched together, you know,
1553
01:21:31.439 --> 01:21:35.000
like it's just obviously a piece of shit, right, Yeah,
1554
01:21:35.239 --> 01:21:37.079
it's like if you tried to put together like some
1555
01:21:37.239 --> 01:21:40.520
Ikia furniture and you didn't have the instructions, like, well,
1556
01:21:40.560 --> 01:21:41.600
this is what I think it looks like.
1557
01:21:42.000 --> 01:21:43.399
I think it's it would be like if you and
1558
01:21:43.479 --> 01:21:45.680
I try to construct a raft, like.
1559
01:21:45.840 --> 01:21:48.000
This is about what it looked like. Yeah, it's nothing
1560
01:21:48.079 --> 01:21:51.479
but dowel rods sticking out and like pieces that are
1561
01:21:51.520 --> 01:21:55.640
mismatched and yeah, just entirely too much duct tape. Yeah.
1562
01:21:55.720 --> 01:21:59.920
So she's laying there, she's like she can't move, you know,
1563
01:22:00.199 --> 01:22:05.479
just violently trying to get this out of her. Right. Uh,
1564
01:22:05.640 --> 01:22:08.600
he's he's on the he's on the the high seas here,
1565
01:22:09.560 --> 01:22:11.479
and all of a sudden, like you know, a big
1566
01:22:11.560 --> 01:22:14.920
wave comes up, bust up half of the raft instantly
1567
01:22:15.039 --> 01:22:18.600
right there, like he's ten feet from the from the shore. Surprise,
1568
01:22:18.680 --> 01:22:23.159
Pikachu face, surprise, Pikachu face. Yeah. And then the big
1569
01:22:23.239 --> 01:22:27.760
wave comes over and hits him. And this was a cool,
1570
01:22:27.800 --> 01:22:30.880
little like stereophonic moment because like the wave, you could
1571
01:22:30.920 --> 01:22:33.000
hear the sound go from like the right speaker to
1572
01:22:33.039 --> 01:22:35.359
the left speakers, like the wave went right to left.
1573
01:22:35.439 --> 01:22:38.159
I was like, that's a cool attention to detail there.
1574
01:22:38.920 --> 01:22:42.199
I thought that was pretty neat. I did not notice that. Yeah,
1575
01:22:42.439 --> 01:22:46.079
just like a little immerse, immersive kind of thing. And
1576
01:22:46.199 --> 01:22:49.439
then he's kind of drowning. He kind of looks up
1577
01:22:49.479 --> 01:22:51.560
and he sees like his fiance. We didn't even talk
1578
01:22:51.560 --> 01:22:54.199
about that earlier when the fiance showed up, yeah, in
1579
01:22:54.279 --> 01:22:57.000
the office, during the freak out from Linda about yeah,
1580
01:22:57.039 --> 01:22:59.239
why did you give this promotion to Donovan? What the
1581
01:22:59.279 --> 01:22:59.680
fuck is?
1582
01:22:59.760 --> 01:23:02.399
You know, Zuri kind of cut that meeting off urry.
1583
01:23:02.760 --> 01:23:05.159
The fiance with the giant diamond ring and you know,
1584
01:23:05.199 --> 01:23:05.960
all that yeah.
1585
01:23:06.079 --> 01:23:09.000
So so as the call him back to her, now
1586
01:23:09.399 --> 01:23:10.600
she's brought back into the story.
1587
01:23:10.760 --> 01:23:13.239
So yeah, So as Bradley's drowning, like he looks up
1588
01:23:13.279 --> 01:23:15.800
and he sees he sees his fiance, sees Zuri, She's like, oh,
1589
01:23:15.920 --> 01:23:18.920
poor baby, you or whatever, and then we see him
1590
01:23:18.920 --> 01:23:22.520
getting whisked out of the ocean and it's not.
1591
01:23:22.640 --> 01:23:25.359
Even that he's he's like kind of coming to and all,
1592
01:23:25.479 --> 01:23:28.399
like he just comes to with like vomit being like
1593
01:23:28.640 --> 01:23:32.079
poured over his face, and you know, like it's not
1594
01:23:32.239 --> 01:23:37.199
at all like Zuri nice words over him, like it
1595
01:23:37.319 --> 01:23:39.560
had been Linda pulling him out of the ocean already
1596
01:23:39.680 --> 01:23:41.560
and then just like up chucking all over his face
1597
01:23:41.600 --> 01:23:42.960
as she's trying to resuscitate him.
1598
01:23:43.039 --> 01:23:45.520
Yeah again in the Sam Raimi gross out fashion here,
1599
01:23:47.159 --> 01:23:49.880
you know, again he gets what he fucking deserves, right,
1600
01:23:51.600 --> 01:23:54.800
So yeah, she's just violently puking up on him.
1601
01:23:55.000 --> 01:23:57.920
Right like Team America style, Like I'm not even shipping
1602
01:23:57.960 --> 01:24:00.520
you like this, but Project Kyle.
1603
01:24:00.840 --> 01:24:04.000
Yep again, I get I get why, Like people probably
1604
01:24:04.000 --> 01:24:08.119
didn't respond to this movie, Like the average audience moviegoer
1605
01:24:09.199 --> 01:24:13.279
was probably horrified of this, but it's pretty funny.
1606
01:24:13.479 --> 01:24:14.920
So yeah, if you were a real one. You was
1607
01:24:15.000 --> 01:24:16.239
here though, and you had a great time.
1608
01:24:16.439 --> 01:24:18.880
Yeah yeah, yeah, but again, like you know, like I
1609
01:24:18.920 --> 01:24:21.399
don't know what he expected, because like you tried to
1610
01:24:21.479 --> 01:24:24.239
poison her and she just like pukes up all over him,
1611
01:24:24.399 --> 01:24:27.760
and I think just a little bit later, uh, I
1612
01:24:27.800 --> 01:24:30.359
think it's like right right after that, right, it's like
1613
01:24:30.439 --> 01:24:33.239
the next day she's like, you know, you tried to
1614
01:24:33.279 --> 01:24:35.800
poison me with those berries, but it would take a
1615
01:24:35.880 --> 01:24:38.159
hell of a lot more of those berries to uh
1616
01:24:38.319 --> 01:24:40.560
to kill me. And then he's like he's got this
1617
01:24:40.640 --> 01:24:43.680
moment he's like I can't even do that, right, Like
1618
01:24:43.800 --> 01:24:46.880
I'm such a fucking failure. So yeah, like, oh what
1619
01:24:47.199 --> 01:24:47.399
was you?
1620
01:24:47.680 --> 01:24:50.680
You tried to kill me, but you're the victim here,
1621
01:24:50.800 --> 01:24:51.800
can't right?
1622
01:24:52.439 --> 01:24:59.239
Yeah? Such a yeah putts or yeah yeah, so yes,
1623
01:24:59.359 --> 01:25:03.680
but now badly has to recover his strength. Yeah yeah.
1624
01:25:03.920 --> 01:25:06.560
We didn't touch on that early on too, when she
1625
01:25:06.680 --> 01:25:09.560
had cooked the fish and kind of forced him to eat,
1626
01:25:09.640 --> 01:25:11.439
where she's like, you've got to get your strength back.
1627
01:25:12.680 --> 01:25:15.760
So in this same scene, then now she's got him
1628
01:25:16.359 --> 01:25:19.359
sitting there and so she's cooking something. It looks like
1629
01:25:20.199 --> 01:25:25.399
a couple of tiny octopus and uh, some other mystery items.
1630
01:25:26.239 --> 01:25:28.800
Yeah, but you know there's a kebab. But you know,
1631
01:25:29.159 --> 01:25:31.640
starting with the octopus, you know, Bradley, you know, she
1632
01:25:31.840 --> 01:25:34.640
she insists, you know, she forces him to eat this octopus.
1633
01:25:34.920 --> 01:25:37.279
Yeah, again to get your strengths back. Yeah. I didn't
1634
01:25:37.279 --> 01:25:40.720
even talk about the gross out scene early on when
1635
01:25:40.760 --> 01:25:44.520
he ate the bug. It's just like the just the
1636
01:25:44.640 --> 01:25:48.159
pure reaction to it is just like, it's just so
1637
01:25:48.399 --> 01:25:49.920
funny to me because he.
1638
01:25:49.960 --> 01:25:53.880
Had gone sololo in his camping trip. Yeah, so while
1639
01:25:53.920 --> 01:25:56.039
he was finding for himself instead of the o mango
1640
01:25:56.159 --> 01:25:57.760
and Soshi delicious.
1641
01:25:58.720 --> 01:25:59.800
Yeah, yeah, like the.
1642
01:26:01.520 --> 01:26:04.399
Bug you remember, and it just explodes with guts and
1643
01:26:04.520 --> 01:26:05.439
wings and everything.
1644
01:26:05.520 --> 01:26:09.760
It's he's got like the he's got like a leg
1645
01:26:09.880 --> 01:26:12.159
or something sticking out of his mouth at the time. Whatever.
1646
01:26:12.319 --> 01:26:14.600
Yeah, kind of like the opposite reaction, you know, instead
1647
01:26:14.600 --> 01:26:16.960
of the tuna on Linda's face, he has like a
1648
01:26:17.119 --> 01:26:18.479
bug insect on the face.
1649
01:26:18.479 --> 01:26:19.800
That's a good way to put it. I didn't think
1650
01:26:19.800 --> 01:26:22.399
about that. It's the mirror fair play.
1651
01:26:22.479 --> 01:26:25.000
Yeah, and then she's the executive in the office with
1652
01:26:25.199 --> 01:26:27.239
the promotion you know, stuff he's after.
1653
01:26:27.600 --> 01:26:28.119
Interesting.
1654
01:26:28.199 --> 01:26:29.840
Yeah, it's a nice little role reversal.
1655
01:26:30.000 --> 01:26:32.479
Yeah, it made me think of that time that you
1656
01:26:32.560 --> 01:26:36.199
brought those jelly beans into the bank that were like
1657
01:26:36.279 --> 01:26:39.000
the ones that tasted awful, Oh god, And it was
1658
01:26:39.039 --> 01:26:41.920
like the mystery flavors, remember it. It's like they're all
1659
01:26:42.039 --> 01:26:43.920
going to be terrible, but which one are you gonna get?
1660
01:26:44.960 --> 01:26:46.960
It was like you, me and Donna tried him. I
1661
01:26:47.039 --> 01:26:51.439
think it was. Yeah, they were all just terrible. Like
1662
01:26:51.520 --> 01:26:53.520
I don't even remember what the flavors were now, but
1663
01:26:53.680 --> 01:26:58.399
like they were like vomit and ear wax and yeah, yeah,
1664
01:26:58.600 --> 01:27:01.399
mustard on chicken nuggets just like weird shit like that.
1665
01:27:02.520 --> 01:27:06.359
Yeah, finally some good cuisine around here, some good fucking food.
1666
01:27:06.800 --> 01:27:10.520
Yeah yeah, Muster Nuggets is on my tombstone. If West
1667
01:27:10.560 --> 01:27:12.239
has anything to do with it, I swear to god.
1668
01:27:13.760 --> 01:27:16.279
He just all He loved to be called mustard Nuggets.
1669
01:27:16.319 --> 01:27:22.399
That was his favorite nickname. Allegedly every time he's like,
1670
01:27:22.520 --> 01:27:27.359
don't call me, call me mustard Nuggets. I'm never gonna
1671
01:27:27.359 --> 01:27:27.840
live it down.
1672
01:27:28.000 --> 01:27:30.960
No, you you dip one chicken nugget in front of
1673
01:27:31.000 --> 01:27:33.800
West and mustard game over from there.
1674
01:27:33.960 --> 01:27:34.359
That's right.
1675
01:27:34.680 --> 01:27:38.760
I will exploit your chicken nugget weakness out of the bag,
1676
01:27:38.880 --> 01:27:39.279
that's right.
1677
01:27:39.439 --> 01:27:42.039
Yeah, We've talked about mustard nuggets on the show before,
1678
01:27:42.199 --> 01:27:46.359
so it's it's not a yeah, get a load of
1679
01:27:46.399 --> 01:27:50.560
this guy, no, but anyway, Yeah, So she she cooks
1680
01:27:50.600 --> 01:27:52.960
him some some good octopus here. She's like, you gotta
1681
01:27:53.000 --> 01:27:56.239
get your strengths back, right, So he eats the octopus
1682
01:27:56.920 --> 01:28:01.079
and uh, all of a sudden doesn't feel too good, right,
1683
01:28:01.399 --> 01:28:08.960
and uh, basically then just kind of goes numb. Yeah,
1684
01:28:09.079 --> 01:28:11.960
he starts to lose a lot of Yeah, because at
1685
01:28:12.000 --> 01:28:15.159
first he's like he's like he's got kind of like
1686
01:28:15.239 --> 01:28:17.920
the white ship on his tongue, yea, his mouth.
1687
01:28:18.000 --> 01:28:20.199
He's like definitely like wiggling his mouth around a lot,
1688
01:28:20.239 --> 01:28:21.600
like something's feeling a little awkward.
1689
01:28:21.720 --> 01:28:21.840
You know.
1690
01:28:22.000 --> 01:28:23.880
You could see he's he's pretty animated at the.
1691
01:28:23.960 --> 01:28:27.439
You're really trying to choose this thing, right, Like it's
1692
01:28:28.520 --> 01:28:31.640
I don't know. I tried I like sushi. I tried
1693
01:28:31.920 --> 01:28:35.840
squid one time, like kalamari or like some other form
1694
01:28:35.880 --> 01:28:38.880
of it, know, like actual like Nigeri sushi, like just
1695
01:28:39.079 --> 01:28:41.760
like squid, and it was like kind of to me,
1696
01:28:41.960 --> 01:28:44.199
it was like texture wise, was kind of like eating
1697
01:28:44.399 --> 01:28:46.760
like a salted rubber band a little bit.
1698
01:28:47.000 --> 01:28:50.199
Yes, I tried klamari like on the Beach in Texas
1699
01:28:50.319 --> 01:28:54.039
and some like authentic stuff so rubbery, engrossed.
1700
01:28:54.039 --> 01:28:56.359
I don't mind klamari, like if it's deep fried like
1701
01:28:56.439 --> 01:28:58.520
that kind of masks it a little bit, but like,
1702
01:28:59.880 --> 01:29:02.640
I don't know, I could see his reaction being kind
1703
01:29:02.680 --> 01:29:03.520
of genuine here.
1704
01:29:03.560 --> 01:29:07.720
But yeah, he choose it forever and like a freaking
1705
01:29:07.840 --> 01:29:09.960
like lump of it sticks out as he's trying to chew,
1706
01:29:10.000 --> 01:29:13.720
and yeah, it's bad. Yeah, this movie definitely likes to
1707
01:29:13.760 --> 01:29:14.960
turn off that gross out factor.
1708
01:29:15.039 --> 01:29:15.279
It does.
1709
01:29:16.319 --> 01:29:17.880
It's the same Raimi film What Are You Gonna Do?
1710
01:29:19.279 --> 01:29:19.840
Enjoy the hell?
1711
01:29:20.199 --> 01:29:22.760
Yeah, But at this point then she's made it pretty
1712
01:29:22.760 --> 01:29:25.840
clear to him that like, uh, you know the octopus
1713
01:29:25.920 --> 01:29:28.039
that you just ate, Yeah, it would have taken a
1714
01:29:28.079 --> 01:29:30.960
lot of berries to poison me, to kill me, but
1715
01:29:31.520 --> 01:29:34.239
the octopus you just ate has some neurotoxins in it,
1716
01:29:35.119 --> 01:29:39.520
and you're gonna not feel anything for quite a while. Yeah,
1717
01:29:39.600 --> 01:29:44.359
he is. He's paralyzed, so basically he can kind of
1718
01:29:45.279 --> 01:29:48.079
emote and react a little bit, and that's really about it.
1719
01:29:48.560 --> 01:29:51.039
Yeah, his eyes are like darting around, but he can't
1720
01:29:51.039 --> 01:29:53.000
even move his head up and down to like see
1721
01:29:53.640 --> 01:29:55.560
what's going around on around him.
1722
01:29:55.840 --> 01:29:58.039
So this is this is the point in which now
1723
01:29:58.239 --> 01:30:03.199
she's really asserting her dominance over him, right, and you know,
1724
01:30:03.279 --> 01:30:05.600
her speech at this point is kind of like, you know,
1725
01:30:05.680 --> 01:30:08.279
you didn't expect to kind of be in this submissive position.
1726
01:30:09.640 --> 01:30:11.960
You know, this is how it is. You're gonna have
1727
01:30:12.000 --> 01:30:14.600
to get used to it, and some things are gonna
1728
01:30:14.640 --> 01:30:15.199
have to change.
1729
01:30:15.800 --> 01:30:17.800
Yeah, let me tell you, you know, I'll tell your
1730
01:30:17.840 --> 01:30:20.000
family story about this old dog we used to have
1731
01:30:20.159 --> 01:30:23.199
and how we got him back in the line and
1732
01:30:23.359 --> 01:30:23.800
how was that?
1733
01:30:24.640 --> 01:30:30.319
Oh well, she him, Yeah, yeah, I had to get
1734
01:30:30.359 --> 01:30:31.800
him back in the line and the only way they
1735
01:30:31.840 --> 01:30:36.319
could and yeah, fucking none at him. And that's exactly
1736
01:30:36.359 --> 01:30:38.279
what she's gonna do to Bradley, just to make sure
1737
01:30:38.359 --> 01:30:41.319
he falls back into line. Yeah, she's like, basically, she's like,
1738
01:30:41.479 --> 01:30:44.319
no help is coming and you need to accept that.
1739
01:30:44.560 --> 01:30:47.439
And she's the boss, but she's like, I'm gonna be
1740
01:30:47.439 --> 01:30:49.840
a little bit nicer boss, you know kind of thing.
1741
01:30:50.000 --> 01:30:53.279
But then starts cutting and he's like, you know, the
1742
01:30:53.359 --> 01:30:55.520
blood is like She's like, oh, we got a bleeder here,
1743
01:30:55.600 --> 01:30:59.640
you know, and then she holds up a rat. Right,
1744
01:30:59.760 --> 01:31:01.880
she's been stabbing this rat. The whole time and it's
1745
01:31:01.920 --> 01:31:03.199
not wasn't him.
1746
01:31:03.800 --> 01:31:06.720
Yeah, I really got to emphasize this scene here. One
1747
01:31:06.880 --> 01:31:10.079
she she definitely like amps the terror up to max
1748
01:31:10.159 --> 01:31:12.520
when she's like, I'm just like you in this dead
1749
01:31:12.640 --> 01:31:16.279
end job going nowhere with a ship boss, but I'll
1750
01:31:16.279 --> 01:31:19.039
bet I'm a nut much nicer boss than you ever were,
1751
01:31:19.439 --> 01:31:22.760
well except for this part, right, Yeah. Then it seems
1752
01:31:22.800 --> 01:31:26.079
like she slowly starts like hacking into his nuts from
1753
01:31:26.159 --> 01:31:29.439
here just to like castrate this guy. Yeah, to kind
1754
01:31:29.439 --> 01:31:31.880
of make him fall into line, and like blood splatters
1755
01:31:31.920 --> 01:31:34.319
on him and he's just whimpering and squirming and just
1756
01:31:34.520 --> 01:31:38.800
like it's just absolutely agony. Right, and this is number
1757
01:31:38.840 --> 01:31:40.760
three here and number three or four, but yeah, this
1758
01:31:40.880 --> 01:31:42.359
is the scene that I like scirmed most of my
1759
01:31:42.479 --> 01:31:44.800
entire theater day, Like in my entire theater career. I
1760
01:31:45.119 --> 01:31:47.960
was just like my knees were in my chest at
1761
01:31:48.000 --> 01:31:52.560
this point in the theater. I was like nahuirming around
1762
01:31:52.640 --> 01:31:55.199
so much. Yeah, and then she's like having a good time.
1763
01:31:55.239 --> 01:31:58.000
She's like it's a bleeder, who you know, she slice
1764
01:31:58.039 --> 01:32:00.000
it and then you're right, yeah, she holds up around
1765
01:32:00.119 --> 01:32:01.800
and he was flying, but like, oh my god, that
1766
01:32:01.960 --> 01:32:05.479
scene was just like like my to my my my
1767
01:32:05.640 --> 01:32:08.640
teeth were grinded down to powder, and my fingernails were nubs.
1768
01:32:08.680 --> 01:32:14.439
It was brutal, Like Tracy help. Tracy's like good, honestly,
1769
01:32:16.159 --> 01:32:18.279
She's just I'm just here like like a witch cackling
1770
01:32:18.359 --> 01:32:18.960
in the discine.
1771
01:32:21.960 --> 01:32:24.079
But no, there's there's a good line here though, Like
1772
01:32:24.199 --> 01:32:26.079
when she leans in and she whispers to him, she's
1773
01:32:26.159 --> 01:32:30.000
like like, next time, it won't be a rat. It's like,
1774
01:32:30.800 --> 01:32:34.159
don't ever mistake my kindness for weakness. Yeah, that's a
1775
01:32:34.199 --> 01:32:34.600
good line.
1776
01:32:34.880 --> 01:32:35.359
Mic drop.
1777
01:32:35.479 --> 01:32:40.319
Yeah, it's a good line. So yeah, that was that
1778
01:32:40.439 --> 01:32:44.880
was a pretty tense scene. Then soon after that, she's like,
1779
01:32:44.920 --> 01:32:48.279
all right, you know what, like I'm gonna go find
1780
01:32:48.680 --> 01:32:50.920
the best fruit on the island. I'm gonna make it
1781
01:32:50.960 --> 01:32:54.560
a little treat. Yeah, a little some some a little treat.
1782
01:32:55.119 --> 01:33:01.920
So she's out foraging for some mangoes and some stuff. When, again,
1783
01:33:02.039 --> 01:33:07.079
this movie ratchets up tension sometimes right when you least
1784
01:33:07.119 --> 01:33:12.600
expect it. Here's a boat along the coastline and Linda
1785
01:33:12.720 --> 01:33:16.119
is spotted by the boat. And who's on the boat,
1786
01:33:16.840 --> 01:33:22.399
fucking Zuri the fiance Bradley's fiance, Zuri, Oh shit.
1787
01:33:22.880 --> 01:33:25.920
Yep, And she just cannot be more pleased with herself
1788
01:33:26.000 --> 01:33:29.119
that she found him, and then you know, immediately asks
1789
01:33:29.119 --> 01:33:33.840
about Bradley, and of course, you know, Linda is like flustered.
1790
01:33:34.520 --> 01:33:40.800
Yeah, yeah, you can see him. He's here, Yeah for sure. Yeah,
1791
01:33:40.920 --> 01:33:44.640
And like so Zuri is kind of she's like, you know,
1792
01:33:45.039 --> 01:33:48.039
they everybody else gave up the search, but I kept searching.
1793
01:33:49.199 --> 01:33:51.800
I hired this guy to like take me around to
1794
01:33:51.840 --> 01:33:55.279
all these places and we finally found you. Oh my god.
1795
01:33:55.760 --> 01:33:58.119
Yeah, just just those two are on the hunt still,
1796
01:33:59.600 --> 01:34:01.760
Asda confirms, yeah, and so.
1797
01:34:01.880 --> 01:34:04.039
They're like, well, let's let's go find him, and she's
1798
01:34:04.119 --> 01:34:08.880
like right now, like yeah, what the buck else you
1799
01:34:08.960 --> 01:34:13.479
got going on? Yeah, so you know, like the fiance
1800
01:34:13.920 --> 01:34:19.279
and like the boat driver guy, you know, and then
1801
01:34:19.359 --> 01:34:21.720
he tries to like take her like backpack full of
1802
01:34:21.800 --> 01:34:24.039
fruit and she kind of like slaps his hand. He's like,
1803
01:34:24.119 --> 01:34:26.640
oh you really like that fruit. He's like, we got
1804
01:34:26.640 --> 01:34:28.840
plenty of food on the boat. You know. Well she's
1805
01:34:28.880 --> 01:34:29.479
not ready to leave.
1806
01:34:30.000 --> 01:34:33.560
Yeah, you know, he literally just like a basket of mangos.
1807
01:34:33.600 --> 01:34:35.479
He's like, you're not gonna need any of that stuff,
1808
01:34:35.479 --> 01:34:37.000
and she's like, off'm taking.
1809
01:34:37.079 --> 01:34:43.079
Get off my y and so she's leading him, you know,
1810
01:34:43.279 --> 01:34:45.680
through her path as she knows, and she's like, well,
1811
01:34:45.760 --> 01:34:49.560
here's a shortcut. It's the Cliffs of Despair, right, it's
1812
01:34:49.640 --> 01:34:56.039
the Misty mountains, right, like, h of course, yeah, it
1813
01:34:56.079 --> 01:34:58.520
should should have gone through the mines of Moreo, just saying,
1814
01:35:00.239 --> 01:35:03.920
but take your chances with the bout wrong exactly. Yeah.
1815
01:35:04.880 --> 01:35:08.600
So yeah, she she takes them off up over the cliff.
1816
01:35:08.960 --> 01:35:12.000
And you know there's a little point in Chekhov's cliff
1817
01:35:12.079 --> 01:35:18.520
here where Zuri steps onto the unstable spot and starts
1818
01:35:18.600 --> 01:35:21.920
to fall. Oh yeah, she barely catches herself, hanging by
1819
01:35:22.000 --> 01:35:26.079
her fingertips. She's hanging for dear life. And you know,
1820
01:35:26.239 --> 01:35:28.680
the the boat guy that she hired, like he's trying
1821
01:35:28.720 --> 01:35:31.680
to pull her up, and you know, Linda has stopped
1822
01:35:31.680 --> 01:35:33.439
and she's tying her shoe. At this point, she knows
1823
01:35:33.520 --> 01:35:33.880
what's up.
1824
01:35:34.119 --> 01:35:36.479
Yeah, she kind of sent them ahead. This is knowing
1825
01:35:36.560 --> 01:35:37.720
this was a sketchy area.
1826
01:35:38.079 --> 01:35:40.039
You know, she already kind of made it known that
1827
01:35:40.399 --> 01:35:43.960
she poured the last drink for her husband. This is
1828
01:35:44.079 --> 01:35:48.319
her pouring that last drink, right, that's aix. This upsets
1829
01:35:48.399 --> 01:35:53.760
everything about Linda's fantasy world right now, right, the addition
1830
01:35:53.880 --> 01:35:57.399
of these two characters into this that was originally just
1831
01:35:57.479 --> 01:36:01.359
two people on this island. That's an now shattered, right,
1832
01:36:01.439 --> 01:36:03.920
so she has to protect that at all costs. Yeah,
1833
01:36:04.279 --> 01:36:06.680
exactly right, Yeah, because this is the only place that
1834
01:36:06.800 --> 01:36:08.680
we've seen her thrive in and back in like the
1835
01:36:08.800 --> 01:36:11.479
real world, she was miserable. So if she does have
1836
01:36:11.560 --> 01:36:14.399
to protect that. Yeah. So he's screaming at her like
1837
01:36:14.920 --> 01:36:17.239
somebody helped me, like help me, help me? Butler her
1838
01:36:17.319 --> 01:36:22.199
up right, and she struggles with it, and then we
1839
01:36:22.399 --> 01:36:24.199
just we just cut. We don't see the rest of
1840
01:36:24.239 --> 01:36:26.640
that scene yet yet.
1841
01:36:27.560 --> 01:36:30.720
I do want to very briefly rewind the clock.
1842
01:36:30.800 --> 01:36:32.560
There was a scene where, like before any of this
1843
01:36:32.560 --> 01:36:34.319
stuff happened, we forgot to mention it, but it's playing
1844
01:36:34.319 --> 01:36:35.359
in the background.
1845
01:36:34.960 --> 01:36:39.199
Now, just for just Trivia's sake. I think it's really cool.
1846
01:36:39.239 --> 01:36:41.119
A storm goes by at one point in the island
1847
01:36:41.319 --> 01:36:43.039
and they have to hide in this cave. And you
1848
01:36:43.199 --> 01:36:46.399
pointed this out, but there's a really cool like filmmaking
1849
01:36:46.439 --> 01:36:50.000
shot once again. M m, that's the spiders.
1850
01:36:50.960 --> 01:36:53.960
Oh yeah, yeah, I think this is a sam Raimi
1851
01:36:54.039 --> 01:36:57.640
easter egg here. As they it's raining real bad and
1852
01:36:57.720 --> 01:37:00.600
they huddle in this cave, and right as go into
1853
01:37:00.680 --> 01:37:03.079
the cave, there's a very brief blinket you miss it
1854
01:37:03.119 --> 01:37:08.079
shot of the camera zooming through a spider web and
1855
01:37:08.199 --> 01:37:11.000
there's a big spider right there in the corner, and
1856
01:37:11.119 --> 01:37:14.039
it's like, okay, well, the opening of the opening credits
1857
01:37:14.119 --> 01:37:17.039
of the same Rami Spider Man film were very similar
1858
01:37:17.119 --> 01:37:19.359
to that. Yeah, or like him zooming through a bunch
1859
01:37:19.399 --> 01:37:22.960
of spider webs and yeah, so like that's a Spider
1860
01:37:23.000 --> 01:37:24.520
Man reference there. I'm pretty sure.
1861
01:37:24.760 --> 01:37:26.359
Yeah, you pointed that out to me, and I'd be
1862
01:37:26.399 --> 01:37:29.159
remiss to not make sure y'all know that as well.
1863
01:37:29.279 --> 01:37:32.399
It's pretty cool. I enjoyed that little that little bit,
1864
01:37:33.079 --> 01:37:36.039
you know. I think these kind of little moments are
1865
01:37:36.039 --> 01:37:38.239
a little bit different than like a blue milk kind
1866
01:37:38.279 --> 01:37:41.079
of moment or a member bary kind of moment of
1867
01:37:41.439 --> 01:37:44.239
like where it's like really shoved in your face.
1868
01:37:44.560 --> 01:37:47.279
To be like, eh, here it is, Yeah, you have
1869
01:37:47.359 --> 01:37:50.039
to have the prerequisites for like this type of thing.
1870
01:37:50.079 --> 01:37:50.720
Where is the other one?
1871
01:37:50.760 --> 01:37:52.079
It's like you said, it's shoved in your face and
1872
01:37:52.159 --> 01:37:52.439
it's like.
1873
01:37:52.479 --> 01:37:55.079
If you know, you know, And that's kind of just
1874
01:37:55.319 --> 01:37:56.159
extra icing.
1875
01:37:56.079 --> 01:37:58.279
On the cake, exactly tastefully done.
1876
01:37:58.479 --> 01:38:02.479
Yeah. Yeah, but yeah, that that part is cool. I
1877
01:38:02.520 --> 01:38:03.119
forgot about that.
1878
01:38:03.479 --> 01:38:08.239
So anyways, yes, ZII that whole scene where she falls,
1879
01:38:08.479 --> 01:38:10.520
and we'll see what happens all that.
1880
01:38:10.800 --> 01:38:14.239
We'll see you later, We'll see that. Yeah, Linda returns
1881
01:38:14.279 --> 01:38:17.600
to the camp and she didn't say anything to Bradley.
1882
01:38:19.560 --> 01:38:22.920
She she kind of just withdraws like she's just laying
1883
01:38:23.000 --> 01:38:24.920
on the beach. She's a lot the water just washing
1884
01:38:25.039 --> 01:38:27.520
to her. She's kind of playing around with it a
1885
01:38:27.560 --> 01:38:30.560
little bit. She's just laying there looking like Comoto. She's
1886
01:38:30.760 --> 01:38:34.279
very much the exact opposite of how she's been the
1887
01:38:34.520 --> 01:38:37.199
entire time in this island. Like I'm taking it. I'm
1888
01:38:37.239 --> 01:38:40.640
taking a sick day. Pretty MOPy, pretty MOPy. Yeah. So
1889
01:38:41.600 --> 01:38:44.520
on a rewatch this it hits different. A lot of
1890
01:38:44.600 --> 01:38:47.359
this movie hits different on a rewatch, I think, which
1891
01:38:47.399 --> 01:38:52.439
we'll get to that in a little bit. But so, uh,
1892
01:38:53.399 --> 01:38:56.960
she's kind of dreaming and uh, this is where we
1893
01:38:57.039 --> 01:39:02.279
get kind of the horror part here, where she's kind
1894
01:39:02.279 --> 01:39:05.439
of like haunted by like the ghost of Zuri. Oh yeah, right,
1895
01:39:05.560 --> 01:39:07.560
Like it's like at nighttime on the beach and like
1896
01:39:07.680 --> 01:39:09.439
Zuri is kind of like stumbling up to her and
1897
01:39:09.520 --> 01:39:13.640
she's like, you killed me. Yeah, She's like what it
1898
01:39:13.840 --> 01:39:19.359
just wakes up or whatever, like zombified zuri kind of yeah. Yeah.
1899
01:39:19.640 --> 01:39:24.840
And then uh, then so this part uh the scene
1900
01:39:25.079 --> 01:39:29.199
when this is during the sick days, during the sick day, Yeah,
1901
01:39:29.640 --> 01:39:31.319
needs to go hunt a boar by himself.
1902
01:39:31.399 --> 01:39:31.520
You know.
1903
01:39:31.680 --> 01:39:34.079
She's like, but I can't without just so yeah, what
1904
01:39:34.159 --> 01:39:36.760
do I do? Yeah, he's like, he's like, all right,
1905
01:39:36.760 --> 01:39:38.239
I'm just gonna I'm just gonna go whatever.
1906
01:39:38.680 --> 01:39:42.000
And then the camera pans over at the knife and
1907
01:39:42.159 --> 01:39:45.119
then uh, I think next it just goes back to
1908
01:39:45.239 --> 01:39:49.720
him hunting. Yeah, and then uh, the unattended knife. You know,
1909
01:39:49.840 --> 01:39:52.359
normally that knife is like locked on Linda's hip, but
1910
01:39:52.600 --> 01:39:54.800
you know, while she's taking her mope sip sick day,
1911
01:39:55.279 --> 01:39:56.960
she kind of like left it off to the side,
1912
01:39:56.960 --> 01:39:57.760
which he noticed.
1913
01:39:57.920 --> 01:39:59.960
He did notice, And we see that there's a night
1914
01:40:00.119 --> 01:40:04.960
little camera shot there to to kind of indicate the
1915
01:40:05.079 --> 01:40:06.079
danger of it, right.
1916
01:40:06.159 --> 01:40:09.600
Yeah, we see that he sees. Yeah, that we see
1917
01:40:09.640 --> 01:40:10.119
that he sees.
1918
01:40:10.880 --> 01:40:14.960
Yeah. But then there's that like the scene that happens
1919
01:40:15.000 --> 01:40:17.800
like very much like quickly after that where he walks
1920
01:40:17.800 --> 01:40:21.439
out of the woods and he just sees his fiance's
1921
01:40:22.000 --> 01:40:25.479
arm and hand just hanging out of the sand. Well, yeah,
1922
01:40:25.479 --> 01:40:27.760
the board he was tracking was like sniffing something a
1923
01:40:27.800 --> 01:40:30.199
little interesting, that's what it was. And then after it
1924
01:40:30.520 --> 01:40:32.960
ran away and he was like he stepped on a twig,
1925
01:40:33.079 --> 01:40:37.600
scared it off. Yeah yeah. But then yeah, so he
1926
01:40:37.840 --> 01:40:40.359
he stumbles upon her hand sticking out and this is
1927
01:40:40.439 --> 01:40:43.720
another little Evil Dead reference here of you know, kind
1928
01:40:43.720 --> 01:40:45.399
of like the poster of Evil Dead with the hand
1929
01:40:45.439 --> 01:40:50.479
sticking out, right. But there was like I love this
1930
01:40:50.680 --> 01:40:55.520
moment for the character Bradley because the and he plays
1931
01:40:55.560 --> 01:41:00.159
it really well. I think the abject horror and the
1932
01:41:00.279 --> 01:41:04.199
frustration and everything of upon seeing this and you see
1933
01:41:04.239 --> 01:41:08.479
the POV. You know it's a hand, but he knows
1934
01:41:08.560 --> 01:41:12.359
that ring, he recognizes it, and this is like the
1935
01:41:12.479 --> 01:41:15.039
one thing that was like linking him back to like
1936
01:41:15.119 --> 01:41:21.039
his old life, right, and it's no more. It's gone absolutely,
1937
01:41:21.199 --> 01:41:24.760
and he knows exactly what happened at this point, and
1938
01:41:24.880 --> 01:41:27.520
he's just furious about it. Yep.
1939
01:41:28.119 --> 01:41:31.640
So we have just entered the the PvP zone, I
1940
01:41:31.640 --> 01:41:32.319
would say.
1941
01:41:32.359 --> 01:41:38.840
Pretty much. Yeah, but yeah, that's uh, that's this part
1942
01:41:39.199 --> 01:41:42.800
was for me. I was like, oh, that's a the
1943
01:41:43.479 --> 01:41:47.600
just the horror of that scene is just like wow.
1944
01:41:48.239 --> 01:41:51.359
Like again, as this movie ratchets up tension, like it
1945
01:41:51.560 --> 01:41:54.680
just it puts these little moments in and it changes
1946
01:41:54.720 --> 01:41:56.479
the dynamic of the film. And this is one of
1947
01:41:56.520 --> 01:42:00.840
those points that the relationship between I mean these characters
1948
01:42:00.920 --> 01:42:06.119
now is like it's on a path that cannot be changed. Yeah,
1949
01:42:06.560 --> 01:42:08.000
a fantastic way to put it.
1950
01:42:08.079 --> 01:42:13.159
We're immovable object, you know, unsoppable for sumovable object at
1951
01:42:13.159 --> 01:42:14.760
this point, you know we've come to a head.
1952
01:42:15.039 --> 01:42:18.239
Yeah, because now the very next time then he's standing
1953
01:42:18.319 --> 01:42:21.279
on the beach as she walks up and he kind
1954
01:42:21.279 --> 01:42:24.560
of confronts her, is like, when were you gonna tell me?
1955
01:42:25.279 --> 01:42:28.079
And she's like, I knew what you would think. There's
1956
01:42:28.119 --> 01:42:30.039
no way you would have believed me. I can't tell you.
1957
01:42:30.119 --> 01:42:33.000
She was like it was an accident, and she's like,
1958
01:42:33.119 --> 01:42:34.640
you wouldn't have believed me. It's like, you know what,
1959
01:42:34.840 --> 01:42:37.239
I don't believe you. All right. This is again the
1960
01:42:37.600 --> 01:42:40.800
tension of having two characters is it already didn't like
1961
01:42:40.880 --> 01:42:45.840
each other on this you know, remote Island by themselves,
1962
01:42:46.039 --> 01:42:50.079
Like that's the uh, you know, the paranoia setting in
1963
01:42:50.279 --> 01:42:52.159
right m So.
1964
01:42:52.560 --> 01:42:55.479
After he's like, I don't believe you. Then Linda hears
1965
01:42:55.600 --> 01:42:58.479
combat music and like reaches for her knife and realizes
1966
01:42:58.560 --> 01:43:01.560
that she only has unarmed available and that she runs
1967
01:43:01.600 --> 01:43:02.479
off into the forest.
1968
01:43:02.720 --> 01:43:06.319
Yeah instead, yeah yeah, And this is where this is
1969
01:43:06.359 --> 01:43:08.439
where the movie really kicks into high gear at the
1970
01:43:08.520 --> 01:43:12.399
last the last act here. And I'm not gonna stress.
1971
01:43:12.479 --> 01:43:13.039
I can't stress.
1972
01:43:13.319 --> 01:43:16.039
This part is so sick during the actual movie, Like
1973
01:43:16.239 --> 01:43:18.239
it is seriously just epic from here on out.
1974
01:43:18.319 --> 01:43:22.439
Best part of the movie. Yeah, yeah, So she runs
1975
01:43:22.479 --> 01:43:27.439
off into the woods. I think, uh on a rewatch,
1976
01:43:27.520 --> 01:43:31.800
I know exactly where she's going, and you know, he's
1977
01:43:31.880 --> 01:43:36.840
chasing her with the knife, and uh is where they
1978
01:43:36.920 --> 01:43:39.800
get into like their their big fist fight here, like
1979
01:43:39.880 --> 01:43:40.439
in the woods.
1980
01:43:40.880 --> 01:43:43.159
It's all been building to those, it's all been building.
1981
01:43:42.960 --> 01:43:47.479
To this, right And he's like she's hiding behind a
1982
01:43:47.560 --> 01:43:49.600
tree and he kind of sneaks up and tries like
1983
01:43:49.840 --> 01:43:53.199
stab or she's not there because she took off her mules,
1984
01:43:53.319 --> 01:43:55.640
her shoes that she has talked about like seventeen times
1985
01:43:55.680 --> 01:43:58.600
throughout the movie, her precious shoes. Yep, he looks down
1986
01:43:58.600 --> 01:44:00.479
at this another good bit because he looked down at
1987
01:44:00.520 --> 01:44:03.840
the shoes. We see a POV of him looking at
1988
01:44:03.880 --> 01:44:07.079
the shoes and a zoom in showing if there's no
1989
01:44:07.319 --> 01:44:12.199
laces in the shoes. Right as that happens, we immediately
1990
01:44:12.279 --> 01:44:15.399
see her like come up behind him and strangle him
1991
01:44:15.399 --> 01:44:19.319
with the shoelaces. Fucking Rambo Modeet from the Woods. Again.
1992
01:44:19.479 --> 01:44:22.039
I like how this movie shows and doesn't tells because
1993
01:44:22.760 --> 01:44:25.399
we see that instantly, we're like, oh, there's a missing
1994
01:44:25.479 --> 01:44:28.880
Oh fuck, he's being strangled. Yeah, that's good, you know.
1995
01:44:30.079 --> 01:44:33.199
And so they get into this, you know, and there's
1996
01:44:33.239 --> 01:44:35.399
a lot of again a lot of digital effects with
1997
01:44:35.479 --> 01:44:37.039
this fight, which I thought was weird.
1998
01:44:37.800 --> 01:44:41.239
Oh yeah, with like the actual like body maiming and stuff.
1999
01:44:41.359 --> 01:44:43.439
But even even so, you could tell, like I think
2000
01:44:43.479 --> 01:44:46.199
at one point when she like charges him and they
2001
01:44:46.239 --> 01:44:49.039
were like rolling around on the ground, like, it's very
2002
01:44:49.119 --> 01:44:52.199
obviously a digital effect of like digital actors doing it.
2003
01:44:52.880 --> 01:44:53.399
It's weird.
2004
01:44:54.720 --> 01:44:56.800
So I guess say that obvious because I didn't know
2005
01:44:56.920 --> 01:44:58.000
that the actors were digital.
2006
01:44:58.119 --> 01:45:00.880
I noticed it, but like it just kind of like, okay,
2007
01:45:01.079 --> 01:45:03.800
but I guess that's just what they did, so you know,
2008
01:45:04.279 --> 01:45:05.960
it was just a little a little weird.
2009
01:45:06.199 --> 01:45:07.920
Again, it's like a PS two game. If the game
2010
01:45:07.960 --> 01:45:10.840
plays good, you know, it's fine, the story is good enough. Yeah,
2011
01:45:11.000 --> 01:45:12.159
what's happening is good Yeah.
2012
01:45:12.159 --> 01:45:14.840
But anyway, Yeah, so they're fighting back and forth, he
2013
01:45:14.960 --> 01:45:17.680
pulls out part of her hair, part of her scalp.
2014
01:45:17.920 --> 01:45:20.439
I guess, oh yeah, I forgot it. So brutal. Yeah,
2015
01:45:20.640 --> 01:45:25.760
and then uh what she uh she hits No, she
2016
01:45:25.880 --> 01:45:27.800
bites him in the shoulder. She tears off a big
2017
01:45:27.920 --> 01:45:28.640
chunk of shoulder.
2018
01:45:28.960 --> 01:45:31.800
Yeah, she's like, you motherfucker tackles.
2019
01:45:32.159 --> 01:45:35.960
Yeah, and then uh, he gets gets the upper hand
2020
01:45:36.079 --> 01:45:37.960
and sticks his thumb in her eye, like.
2021
01:45:38.039 --> 01:45:39.840
Digs inside of her eye.
2022
01:45:40.000 --> 01:45:42.680
Dude, like like you could see like her eye like
2023
01:45:42.760 --> 01:45:45.840
start a gouge out from its socket, and yeah, the
2024
01:45:46.199 --> 01:45:49.600
c G I is like bulging, you know, the CG Yeah.
2025
01:45:49.880 --> 01:46:00.359
I uh huh yeah, you know you well done. So
2026
01:46:00.600 --> 01:46:03.159
and then uh, you know, she gets up and now
2027
01:46:03.239 --> 01:46:07.680
she's like full on like crazy mode, right because he's rabid, Yeah,
2028
01:46:07.680 --> 01:46:10.479
because he was wearing his fiance's ring on her on
2029
01:46:10.600 --> 01:46:12.720
his pinky finger. Right, he's like, when are we gonna
2030
01:46:12.760 --> 01:46:15.199
tell me? You know? And when they're getting in that fight,
2031
01:46:15.319 --> 01:46:18.279
then she like bites his finger, right, And at this
2032
01:46:18.359 --> 01:46:20.399
point when she stands up after he's like poked her
2033
01:46:20.439 --> 01:46:23.199
in the eye. She reveals that she's got the ring
2034
01:46:23.319 --> 01:46:26.079
between her teeth, but she just swallows the ring and
2035
01:46:26.319 --> 01:46:30.880
just like flips him off, So I fuck you. And
2036
01:46:30.960 --> 01:46:32.840
then they still they still fight and everything from there.
2037
01:46:32.880 --> 01:46:35.520
But like that's again, that's what these two have been
2038
01:46:35.560 --> 01:46:38.439
building up to at this point, right, it's all exploded now.
2039
01:46:38.600 --> 01:46:41.119
It feels like the gallimn moment from Lord of the
2040
01:46:41.239 --> 01:46:44.319
Rings where you know, Gallumn bites Protos.
2041
01:46:46.680 --> 01:46:51.960
Yeah, so she goes running off and uh, he chases
2042
01:46:52.000 --> 01:46:55.920
after her, and this is when he discovers, uh, the
2043
01:46:56.039 --> 01:46:57.600
luxury home on the cliff.
2044
01:46:58.119 --> 01:47:00.640
Yeah, there's been a house here the whole the house
2045
01:47:00.680 --> 01:47:03.760
here the whole time. And yeah, from like a little
2046
01:47:03.760 --> 01:47:05.960
bit of context where back filled in on that's like
2047
01:47:06.359 --> 01:47:08.359
Linda found us early on, and that's like where the
2048
01:47:08.399 --> 01:47:10.319
boat that she had seen like left from.
2049
01:47:11.119 --> 01:47:13.760
Yeah, because she makes it known that she she watched
2050
01:47:13.960 --> 01:47:18.079
like the boat show up and you know delivers boat,
2051
01:47:18.159 --> 01:47:19.760
not the one that showed up with the Yeah, the
2052
01:47:19.800 --> 01:47:22.239
first boat with the first boat. Yeah, the first boat
2053
01:47:22.319 --> 01:47:25.760
like brought supplies in or something. We were kind of
2054
01:47:25.840 --> 01:47:28.720
joking like an Amazon Prime truck would just like pull up,
2055
01:47:29.039 --> 01:47:30.560
you know, like a modern sense, you know.
2056
01:47:30.680 --> 01:47:33.359
And dad ass was yeah, he was a supply truck.
2057
01:47:33.479 --> 01:47:37.680
Yeah. Yeah, but anyway, Yeah, so he's like he's and
2058
01:47:37.800 --> 01:47:39.880
he's been stabbed in the stomach at this point with
2059
01:47:39.960 --> 01:47:41.760
the knife. Oh yeah.
2060
01:47:41.760 --> 01:47:43.279
They've been fighting over the knife quite a bit and
2061
01:47:43.399 --> 01:47:45.079
she now has and got away with it.
2062
01:47:45.239 --> 01:47:48.520
Yeah. So then at this point, like he gets into
2063
01:47:48.600 --> 01:47:51.640
his house, he opens up the fridge, there's like fresh water,
2064
01:47:51.760 --> 01:47:55.359
he's drinking the water, and then her voice is coming
2065
01:47:55.399 --> 01:47:58.279
over the intercom. She's like, oh, it isn't refrigeration. Great,
2066
01:47:58.439 --> 01:48:02.760
you know all this stuff. And now now it kind
2067
01:48:02.800 --> 01:48:03.720
of turns into like.
2068
01:48:03.800 --> 01:48:05.399
Well, there's a little bit of like I just want
2069
01:48:05.439 --> 01:48:08.079
to backfill this too, like the fact that she is
2070
01:48:08.199 --> 01:48:11.439
familiar enough with his house to like be talking to
2071
01:48:11.520 --> 01:48:14.319
him over the security cameras kind of mentioned that she's
2072
01:48:14.359 --> 01:48:16.239
been here a ton. And then whenever he's in the
2073
01:48:16.319 --> 01:48:18.359
kitchen after she he like down some water, he goes
2074
01:48:18.399 --> 01:48:20.239
to grab a knife from the kitchen, but all the
2075
01:48:20.279 --> 01:48:22.159
knives are gone and she's like, oh, yeah, by the way,
2076
01:48:22.479 --> 01:48:24.239
all the knives are gone, and you're a dumb ass
2077
01:48:24.279 --> 01:48:26.600
forever believing one just washed up on short yep.
2078
01:48:27.279 --> 01:48:29.800
Yeah, And that's again on the rewatch when when you
2079
01:48:29.840 --> 01:48:34.239
see the knife first appear early in the film. Then
2080
01:48:34.319 --> 01:48:36.279
I was like, okay, yeah, she went to the house
2081
01:48:36.319 --> 01:48:38.520
already at this point, she'd already discovered it. Yeah.
2082
01:48:38.560 --> 01:48:43.039
My second rewatching was with you. So whenever she says like, yeah,
2083
01:48:43.079 --> 01:48:45.520
you're a dumb ass foreverthink and never washed ashore, it
2084
01:48:45.560 --> 01:48:47.680
feels like she's calling that to the audience, Like you know,
2085
01:48:47.760 --> 01:48:49.760
it feels like she's calling you dumb for going along
2086
01:48:49.840 --> 01:48:50.039
with that.
2087
01:48:50.640 --> 01:48:53.079
Like that's how I felt. But I mean, it's natural
2088
01:48:53.199 --> 01:48:57.000
to think that, like it's an uninhabited island because you
2089
01:48:57.399 --> 01:48:58.319
buy into it at first.
2090
01:48:58.399 --> 01:49:00.560
I know, I'm like, yeah, I could have from the
2091
01:49:00.600 --> 01:49:03.119
plane or whatever, you know, whatever. But yeah, then she
2092
01:49:03.359 --> 01:49:05.000
just she calls him out for it, and it feels
2093
01:49:05.000 --> 01:49:06.039
like you were getting called out.
2094
01:49:05.960 --> 01:49:08.560
For maybe a little bit, I don't know, but she
2095
01:49:08.680 --> 01:49:10.720
makes known at this point. Then she's like, oh, you know,
2096
01:49:10.880 --> 01:49:14.319
some some wealthy billionaire, some wealthy Wall Street billionaire, our
2097
01:49:14.319 --> 01:49:17.079
owns this house or something, right, Yeah, And I thought
2098
01:49:17.119 --> 01:49:20.239
it was funny because in this point I noticed there
2099
01:49:20.399 --> 01:49:23.159
was this painting above like the fireplace thing or whatever.
2100
01:49:23.239 --> 01:49:25.640
It looked like a like some kind of giant orangutan
2101
01:49:26.600 --> 01:49:28.039
it was just really weird, and I was like, you
2102
01:49:28.079 --> 01:49:30.119
know what, that kind of reminds me of the board
2103
01:49:30.199 --> 01:49:33.159
ape n FT from a few years ago. It was like,
2104
01:49:33.239 --> 01:49:36.239
I would not be surprised if this was like a
2105
01:49:36.439 --> 01:49:38.760
version of that, to be like, oh, you know, some
2106
01:49:39.159 --> 01:49:41.079
some Wall Street tech bro that made a bunch of
2107
01:49:41.159 --> 01:49:43.920
money and just spent stupid money on shit and bought
2108
01:49:43.960 --> 01:49:45.760
an island, built a house on an island.
2109
01:49:46.079 --> 01:49:48.119
Yeah something, And it looks like it looks like the
2110
01:49:48.199 --> 01:49:50.039
board Goblin or something.
2111
01:49:50.239 --> 01:49:53.199
Yeah, Goblin or something. Yeah, I about the board Goblin
2112
01:49:53.359 --> 01:49:55.279
n FT and hung it up on his eland. Basically
2113
01:49:55.319 --> 01:49:59.279
he's got that much money, Yeah exactly. But yeah, so
2114
01:49:59.399 --> 01:50:02.640
she's in she's watching the cameras. Now this movie has
2115
01:50:02.680 --> 01:50:04.479
taken a dramatic turn at this point.
2116
01:50:04.560 --> 01:50:06.800
You know, we are back in the Lord of the
2117
01:50:06.840 --> 01:50:10.640
Flies now, yeah or not Lord of the Flies? You
2118
01:50:10.760 --> 01:50:12.159
mentioned that one earlier. I meant to say, the most
2119
01:50:12.239 --> 01:50:15.279
dangerous game. We're like the man hunting man. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
2120
01:50:16.680 --> 01:50:18.920
we got to revisit why you mentioned Lord of the Flies.
2121
01:50:18.920 --> 01:50:20.439
Like you said it was very you know, stories are
2122
01:50:20.439 --> 01:50:22.279
derivative of that. Well, there was circle back to that.
2123
01:50:22.319 --> 01:50:24.920
Okay, So I didn't mention that, but like early on,
2124
01:50:25.960 --> 01:50:28.600
you know, she was all excited because she's like, I
2125
01:50:28.680 --> 01:50:30.760
have the conch, like I found the conch or you
2126
01:50:30.840 --> 01:50:33.199
know the conk because it's known, but everybody calls it
2127
01:50:33.279 --> 01:50:33.800
the conch. Oh.
2128
01:50:33.840 --> 01:50:36.000
Yeah. As they're first setting up their camp and gathering
2129
01:50:36.039 --> 01:50:36.680
supplies and such.
2130
01:50:36.920 --> 01:50:41.000
Yeah, So again, you know, she's she's well read. She's
2131
01:50:41.039 --> 01:50:44.000
a book nerd, so she's obviously read Lord of the
2132
01:50:44.039 --> 01:50:46.640
Flies and a lot of people read it in high
2133
01:50:46.640 --> 01:50:49.479
school and stuff like that. So I mean it's Lord
2134
01:50:49.520 --> 01:50:51.439
of the Flies was kind of a template for a
2135
01:50:51.560 --> 01:50:57.000
lot of survival type films and stories and movies and
2136
01:50:57.079 --> 01:50:59.680
things like that, because you know, that was it was
2137
01:50:59.760 --> 01:51:02.760
kind of of you know, it's the original Battle Royale,
2138
01:51:03.119 --> 01:51:06.000
right where you put these kids on an island and
2139
01:51:06.800 --> 01:51:11.880
they develop a society, and you know, the the violence
2140
01:51:11.960 --> 01:51:18.760
that they perpetrate towards their own you know friends, you know,
2141
01:51:18.920 --> 01:51:22.560
because of the because of the structure now established within
2142
01:51:22.720 --> 01:51:25.520
the social order of the island. I mean, that's that's
2143
01:51:25.560 --> 01:51:28.119
all stuff to be unpacked and discussed and studied, and
2144
01:51:28.720 --> 01:51:32.039
you see that throughout a lot of stories like this.
2145
01:51:32.319 --> 01:51:34.560
Yeah, I was gonna say, the parallels all here, the
2146
01:51:34.640 --> 01:51:37.039
parallels are here. You know, they've they've built their own
2147
01:51:37.079 --> 01:51:39.000
sort of way of life here, there's society, they're pegging
2148
01:51:39.119 --> 01:51:42.600
order reversed. And then yeah, they're now turning on each
2149
01:51:42.600 --> 01:51:45.119
other right now as we're battling through this house.
2150
01:51:46.359 --> 01:51:48.560
Yeah, and I think too, like in a modern sense,
2151
01:51:50.199 --> 01:51:54.920
as life gets a lot more complicated and uncertain with
2152
01:51:55.199 --> 01:51:57.159
like the way that she is in the world, and
2153
01:51:57.239 --> 01:51:59.119
some people are like, oh, you know, I just want
2154
01:51:59.159 --> 01:52:02.359
to go live on an island somewhere. I just want
2155
01:52:02.399 --> 01:52:05.199
to go live in the mountains somewhere. Okay, yeah, that's cool,
2156
01:52:05.359 --> 01:52:07.920
but like there's a chance that something like this would
2157
01:52:07.920 --> 01:52:11.000
probably happen if if you were with other people and
2158
01:52:11.079 --> 01:52:12.439
that's the only people that you saw.
2159
01:52:13.640 --> 01:52:15.920
Yeah, Survival of the Fitness Banking.
2160
01:52:17.760 --> 01:52:21.199
Yeah, so anyway, yeah, this is at this point, Yeah,
2161
01:52:21.239 --> 01:52:25.039
he's looking for a knife. There's no knife. So then
2162
01:52:25.640 --> 01:52:28.199
she's you know, it turns out, you know, she followed
2163
01:52:28.199 --> 01:52:31.920
the boat, she found the house, she broken disabled security system,
2164
01:52:33.680 --> 01:52:38.039
and so uh that's where you know she's she's good
2165
01:52:38.079 --> 01:52:42.279
at this stuff, right because she's been foraging. But also
2166
01:52:43.199 --> 01:52:46.600
this is when we get the flashback of when Zuri
2167
01:52:46.720 --> 01:52:49.800
was dangling from the cliff. Oh yeah, rewind the clock
2168
01:52:49.840 --> 01:52:51.880
a little bit. Yeah, and the boat captain was like,
2169
01:52:52.159 --> 01:52:57.159
you know, asking for help. Uh, Linda, she didn't help,
2170
01:52:57.439 --> 01:53:00.279
but in fact, she picked up a giant rock and
2171
01:53:00.680 --> 01:53:03.239
bashed the boat driver in the head. Is sending the
2172
01:53:03.319 --> 01:53:10.960
two of them to their death? Yikes. So that's interesting, Yeah,
2173
01:53:11.680 --> 01:53:15.159
because and you know, in a way, like I would say,
2174
01:53:15.279 --> 01:53:17.600
the fiance and the boat driver are probably pretty innocent.
2175
01:53:18.479 --> 01:53:22.960
For the boat driver one fella, he's just getting paid
2176
01:53:23.000 --> 01:53:25.119
for a gig man, Like it's just an uber driver,
2177
01:53:25.279 --> 01:53:31.119
Like why why are you killing the uber driver? But
2178
01:53:31.279 --> 01:53:34.560
that again, that's that's how far she was willing to
2179
01:53:34.640 --> 01:53:38.640
go to kind of protect uh, you know, this this
2180
01:53:38.840 --> 01:53:43.600
reality for her, right, So I don't know. That's what
2181
01:53:43.720 --> 01:53:48.680
I think makes the character interesting is is she one
2182
01:53:48.800 --> 01:53:52.079
to to emulate or you know, is she emulated something?
2183
01:53:52.119 --> 01:53:55.880
I don't know, But up until that point, she has
2184
01:53:56.039 --> 01:54:02.640
this particularly dark past of you know, push her too far,
2185
01:54:02.960 --> 01:54:06.119
and she knows how to make something happen.
2186
01:54:07.399 --> 01:54:11.279
Yeah, Like it felt like up until this point, literally
2187
01:54:11.399 --> 01:54:14.199
up until this point, she was like, you know, given
2188
01:54:14.359 --> 01:54:16.439
she was dealt a super bad hand and like you're
2189
01:54:16.520 --> 01:54:19.399
rooting for so bad and she's making all the right decisions.
2190
01:54:19.439 --> 01:54:21.680
You know, she felt like, you know, she's you know
2191
01:54:21.840 --> 01:54:23.800
you could you could stand by everything she's doing because
2192
01:54:23.800 --> 01:54:25.760
that's probably what you would have done up until this point.
2193
01:54:26.199 --> 01:54:28.920
And now when she was like straight up murders people,
2194
01:54:29.039 --> 01:54:31.720
you're like, fu, come, I've been rooting for the bad guy.
2195
01:54:34.159 --> 01:54:36.000
Yeah, like you kind of get that feeling, at least
2196
01:54:36.000 --> 01:54:38.960
I do. Yeah. Yeah. So at this point is when
2197
01:54:39.520 --> 01:54:43.439
Linda corners Bradley in how in the house with a
2198
01:54:43.479 --> 01:54:47.119
shotgun pointed to his head. Oh no, right, and he's
2199
01:54:47.279 --> 01:54:51.319
he's begging for his life. He apologizes for being a monster.
2200
01:54:52.720 --> 01:54:55.760
I forgot to mention this during the fireside chat that
2201
01:54:55.880 --> 01:55:00.359
they were having, but she makes an interesting observation. She's like,
2202
01:55:00.439 --> 01:55:02.600
have you ever heard the quotes that monsters aren't born?
2203
01:55:02.680 --> 01:55:06.399
They're created? And I find that line really interesting too,
2204
01:55:06.560 --> 01:55:11.399
because you know, we kind of learned through as Bradley's
2205
01:55:11.439 --> 01:55:15.640
talking at that point about his childhood, his upbringing, you know,
2206
01:55:15.880 --> 01:55:20.039
he sort of created his monster through those circumstances, right,
2207
01:55:21.159 --> 01:55:25.239
And you could argue that Linda has kind of created
2208
01:55:25.319 --> 01:55:29.319
her own monster through her own circumstances too, right, And
2209
01:55:29.920 --> 01:55:32.399
this situation between these two on this island has kind
2210
01:55:32.439 --> 01:55:34.439
of brought the monster out in both of them.
2211
01:55:35.479 --> 01:55:39.279
Yeah, yeah, I didn't really ever, I guess try and
2212
01:55:39.399 --> 01:55:42.239
see Linda in that light, you know, because I guess
2213
01:55:42.600 --> 01:55:44.520
Bradley is so obviously the bad guy.
2214
01:55:44.600 --> 01:55:48.079
But yeah, I guess Linda is. She's not exactly She's
2215
01:55:48.159 --> 01:55:51.279
not exactly an angel either though, right, it's very.
2216
01:55:51.279 --> 01:55:54.319
Very flawed narrator or protagonist here, you know that we're
2217
01:55:54.359 --> 01:55:55.600
coming to realize. Right.
2218
01:55:56.439 --> 01:55:58.840
So he's he's apologizing for being a monster, and he
2219
01:55:58.920 --> 01:56:02.399
swears that he's changed and he loves her and like
2220
01:56:02.560 --> 01:56:03.920
he's changed for the better.
2221
01:56:03.960 --> 01:56:07.319
And it is He lays on the moves thick, you know,
2222
01:56:07.479 --> 01:56:08.880
says her over quite a bit.
2223
01:56:08.920 --> 01:56:11.119
Honest, like I want to live on this island with
2224
01:56:11.239 --> 01:56:14.800
you forever. Like he's just he's doing the typical thing
2225
01:56:14.880 --> 01:56:17.840
that probably got him where he is, right, Yeah, he
2226
01:56:18.000 --> 01:56:21.760
says the right stuff. Yeah, And for a second it
2227
01:56:21.800 --> 01:56:25.399
seems like she might be buying it. But then this
2228
01:56:25.600 --> 01:56:30.279
is another nice little camera treck here is there's like
2229
01:56:30.640 --> 01:56:33.520
a couple of statues in the background that have like horns,
2230
01:56:33.600 --> 01:56:37.159
like pointed horns on him, and there's a brief and
2231
01:56:37.279 --> 01:56:39.640
she's looking at him. The cameras point at her, and
2232
01:56:39.680 --> 01:56:41.560
then we see her eyes move like to the right
2233
01:56:41.720 --> 01:56:44.000
just a little bit, and then the camera shifts to
2234
01:56:44.199 --> 01:56:46.800
a POV of the one statue. It's got two horns,
2235
01:56:47.560 --> 01:56:49.720
and then it pans over to the other statue and
2236
01:56:49.800 --> 01:56:53.119
it's only got one horn. And then we instantly cut
2237
01:56:53.199 --> 01:56:58.399
to a shot of Bradley, and we're filming from like
2238
01:56:58.920 --> 01:57:01.359
from behind him, and we can see that he's got
2239
01:57:01.520 --> 01:57:05.800
like a horn that's hidden behind him. And so instantly,
2240
01:57:05.880 --> 01:57:09.880
again as this movie ratchets things up, now here's a
2241
01:57:10.119 --> 01:57:15.600
here's another instant. So Bradley he rushes her, you know,
2242
01:57:15.720 --> 01:57:18.840
kind of like stabs her in the arm, shoves her
2243
01:57:18.880 --> 01:57:22.640
into the fireplace and she drops the shotgun and he
2244
01:57:22.720 --> 01:57:26.119
picks it up. He grabs it and he's like, buy
2245
01:57:26.239 --> 01:57:29.560
you crazy bitch from accounting, Like that's his getaway from her,
2246
01:57:29.680 --> 01:57:35.199
you bitch kind of lying right, right, and it clicks right,
2247
01:57:35.279 --> 01:57:38.880
you pulled the Twitter until it goes click and there's
2248
01:57:38.960 --> 01:57:43.359
no bullets. There's no bullets. So at this point, though,
2249
01:57:44.159 --> 01:57:47.000
Linda is Linda has pulled a golf club off the wall,
2250
01:57:47.640 --> 01:57:52.399
right and gosh, hold on, I'm sorry, before we get
2251
01:57:52.439 --> 01:57:54.880
to this ending, I do want to tee it up
2252
01:57:55.199 --> 01:57:58.600
just a little bit. Whenever, yes, whenever Linda was rejected
2253
01:57:58.640 --> 01:58:01.760
from her job. I was just gonna say that, go ahead, yeh, yes, Donovan.
2254
01:58:01.920 --> 01:58:04.039
He pitched Donovan up, is like, you know, I can't
2255
01:58:04.039 --> 01:58:05.960
have you because you know I need someone that is,
2256
01:58:06.399 --> 01:58:09.000
you know, very well like that can you know, charm
2257
01:58:09.079 --> 01:58:09.439
a room.
2258
01:58:10.000 --> 01:58:14.039
You know, it's someone like Donovan, somebody who golfs. And
2259
01:58:14.479 --> 01:58:17.199
then continue with where we we right, and so she
2260
01:58:17.279 --> 01:58:20.720
grabs a golf club at this point and it hits
2261
01:58:20.760 --> 01:58:22.600
him real hard in the hand, knocks the shotgun out
2262
01:58:22.600 --> 01:58:26.880
of his hand, right knocks him on the ground. What
2263
01:58:27.079 --> 01:58:30.279
is it besides what is it with golf and corporate shit?
2264
01:58:31.600 --> 01:58:35.000
I really it's a very prohibitably expensive sport.
2265
01:58:35.079 --> 01:58:37.560
You know, to even like get into and then sport
2266
01:58:38.600 --> 01:58:40.479
it's just I don't know, it's just an excuse for
2267
01:58:40.720 --> 01:58:43.159
like people to get out of work and schmooze. In
2268
01:58:43.279 --> 01:58:45.720
my opinion. But yeah, I'm not a golfer. I like,
2269
01:58:45.840 --> 01:58:47.760
I like this golf to who we're wrong, but I'll
2270
01:58:47.840 --> 01:58:51.319
drink that, yeah, But like basic golf is like a
2271
01:58:51.439 --> 01:58:54.199
corporate function in order to win business. That's not me.
2272
01:58:54.720 --> 01:58:58.279
Yeah, it's it's rich people bumping elbows. Yeah, like for
2273
01:58:58.479 --> 01:59:00.760
tradition's sake, as far as I can, that's not me.
2274
01:59:02.079 --> 01:59:05.399
But yeah, it's funny that. Then she ends up, you know, golfing,
2275
01:59:05.720 --> 01:59:09.760
basically literally beating him down with the golf yeah, and
2276
01:59:09.880 --> 01:59:13.199
so yeah away, yeah, so she knocks away and uh
2277
01:59:14.119 --> 01:59:18.239
uh basically then at that point, Linda's towering over him
2278
01:59:18.560 --> 01:59:23.279
and she's like strategy and planning and corrects them from accounting.
2279
01:59:23.359 --> 01:59:26.520
You know, I'm out from accounting. Yeah, I'm strategy and planning. Yeah,
2280
01:59:27.199 --> 01:59:29.079
and so you know, she pulls back on her swing.
2281
01:59:29.279 --> 01:59:31.960
We zoom in on his eye, and then we instantly
2282
01:59:32.119 --> 01:59:37.680
cut to a scene at a golf course where Linda
2283
01:59:37.720 --> 01:59:41.079
has just teed off on like the eighteenth hole Celebrity
2284
01:59:41.119 --> 01:59:42.760
Golf Invitational.
2285
01:59:42.359 --> 01:59:45.520
Right, yes, surrounded by you know, there's adoring fans around.
2286
01:59:45.880 --> 01:59:47.399
You know, she's she's beloved, clearly.
2287
01:59:47.560 --> 01:59:51.239
Yeah, she's being interviewed for like, you know, the news.
2288
01:59:51.319 --> 01:59:55.319
We you know, she was a survivor, the only survivor
2289
01:59:55.399 --> 01:59:58.159
discovered alone on a raft in the sea nearly one
2290
01:59:58.279 --> 02:00:04.640
year ago. So that's interesting that she built a raft
2291
02:00:05.479 --> 02:00:08.199
and was on the raft and discovered then like literally,
2292
02:00:08.479 --> 02:00:10.560
so really, maybe it wasn't that bad of an idea,
2293
02:00:10.680 --> 02:00:12.760
but she was trying to downplay it the whole time. Yeah,
2294
02:00:12.960 --> 02:00:13.560
great point.
2295
02:00:13.640 --> 02:00:15.960
Yeah, Bradley was mentioning the raft is like that's how
2296
02:00:16.000 --> 02:00:17.479
we got to get out of here, and like that's
2297
02:00:17.560 --> 02:00:19.840
literally how she survived, you know, after she downplayed it
2298
02:00:19.880 --> 02:00:20.319
the whole time.
2299
02:00:20.520 --> 02:00:22.800
So then you know she's telling her official stories that
2300
02:00:22.880 --> 02:00:26.560
you know, she's the only survivor of this company plane crash,
2301
02:00:26.760 --> 02:00:29.279
and she's written a best selling book about her experience,
2302
02:00:29.319 --> 02:00:32.079
which is soon to be turned into a movie, and like,
2303
02:00:32.399 --> 02:00:34.680
what are you going to do next? It's like, well,
2304
02:00:34.680 --> 02:00:36.199
I'm going to write a self help book and I'm
2305
02:00:36.199 --> 02:00:39.039
gonna teach people that no help is coming, so you
2306
02:00:39.199 --> 02:00:44.760
better start saving yourself. Scene kind of. But then we
2307
02:00:44.880 --> 02:00:49.000
get we get what I would call the Tarantino ending
2308
02:00:49.520 --> 02:00:52.840
of the film at this point, which the movie kind
2309
02:00:52.840 --> 02:00:56.880
of ends with her driving along the coastal Highway. Oh yes,
2310
02:00:57.880 --> 02:01:00.720
in her convertible with her pet bird her side and
2311
02:01:01.159 --> 02:01:04.319
Sweetie still here, sweet you still here? Yeah, we get
2312
02:01:04.399 --> 02:01:07.319
the we get the Blondie song one way or another,
2313
02:01:08.039 --> 02:01:11.359
and Linda just kind of shoots this menacing look into
2314
02:01:11.439 --> 02:01:14.199
the camera as the movie ends, and it just makes
2315
02:01:14.239 --> 02:01:16.680
me think of the Bride from Kill Bill, you know,
2316
02:01:16.960 --> 02:01:19.000
like the end, she's driving off at the end, like
2317
02:01:19.119 --> 02:01:20.960
it's just very Tarantino kind of ending.
2318
02:01:21.319 --> 02:01:24.159
Well, it's kind of a poignant song, Joyce, because she was,
2319
02:01:24.279 --> 02:01:26.760
you know, trying to invite herself to her co worker's
2320
02:01:26.840 --> 02:01:27.520
karaoke night.
2321
02:01:27.600 --> 02:01:29.520
She's like, my song is one way or the other. Yeah,
2322
02:01:29.560 --> 02:01:31.319
She's like, this is what I this is my song
2323
02:01:31.520 --> 02:01:33.079
and they're like no.
2324
02:01:33.640 --> 02:01:35.680
And then at the end of the movie, as the
2325
02:01:35.800 --> 02:01:37.880
song is playing, it is like, yeah, girl, you you're
2326
02:01:38.119 --> 02:01:40.439
you've come out way ahead, you're on top and you've
2327
02:01:40.560 --> 02:01:41.159
owned that song.
2328
02:01:41.439 --> 02:01:45.920
Yep, yep. So yeah, that's uh, that's the end. So
2329
02:01:46.239 --> 02:01:50.199
here's my question to you. Then, by the end of
2330
02:01:50.239 --> 02:01:52.159
the film, do you think Linda has become the monster?
2331
02:01:55.279 --> 02:01:57.640
Yes, but I think she's a better monster than anybody,
2332
02:01:58.199 --> 02:01:59.560
any of the previous sponsors.
2333
02:02:01.119 --> 02:02:06.840
But isn't it interesting though, that she didn't really in
2334
02:02:06.960 --> 02:02:09.039
my opinion, I don't know, like she didn't really like
2335
02:02:10.159 --> 02:02:13.079
rise above it so much as she just kind of
2336
02:02:13.399 --> 02:02:18.039
embraced it and and became the monster for like her
2337
02:02:18.079 --> 02:02:24.159
own benefit or just to like get her like her
2338
02:02:24.199 --> 02:02:26.239
come uppance or what she was due for I don't know,
2339
02:02:26.279 --> 02:02:28.359
how do you feel about that? I feel like she
2340
02:02:28.640 --> 02:02:33.039
was one worthy of such a position because she's the workhorse,
2341
02:02:33.159 --> 02:02:35.600
and two she was she she had.
2342
02:02:36.279 --> 02:02:42.880
She earned it through her unorthodox promotion strategy.
2343
02:02:43.720 --> 02:02:45.520
It's definitely an unorthodox Yeah.
2344
02:02:46.239 --> 02:02:47.920
I think she earned I mean, if someone isn't going
2345
02:02:47.960 --> 02:02:49.720
to break their back for the company, then they're going
2346
02:02:49.800 --> 02:02:51.640
to be the ones that actually know the ins and
2347
02:02:51.760 --> 02:02:54.359
outs of everything that is, you know, being you know,
2348
02:02:54.560 --> 02:02:57.560
tasked with So uh yeah, I think I think she
2349
02:02:58.279 --> 02:03:01.600
she rightfully is where she needs to be for that company.
2350
02:03:01.760 --> 02:03:04.279
Maybe that's a lesson to treat your employees with respect.
2351
02:03:05.279 --> 02:03:05.800
I think. So.
2352
02:03:07.239 --> 02:03:09.159
The guillotine wasn't that long ago.
2353
02:03:09.239 --> 02:03:14.359
Friends, No, I'm just imagining, like whoever, whoever this wealthy
2354
02:03:14.399 --> 02:03:17.880
billionaire was that that owned this house. I'm just imagining
2355
02:03:17.960 --> 02:03:20.079
him like going to this house at one point and
2356
02:03:20.199 --> 02:03:23.720
just finding this dead CEO just laying on you know,
2357
02:03:24.079 --> 02:03:26.239
on the on the rug, Like, what the fuck is
2358
02:03:26.279 --> 02:03:30.159
this stinking up the joint? But honestly, though, knowing Linda
2359
02:03:30.239 --> 02:03:33.159
and her survival technique, she's probably already dismembered the body
2360
02:03:33.239 --> 02:03:36.039
and scattered the pieces to like every corner of the island.
2361
02:03:36.159 --> 02:03:42.199
So or strategy and planning, so good point. Yeah, he's
2362
02:03:42.239 --> 02:03:42.760
fish food.
2363
02:03:42.800 --> 02:03:43.119
Literally.
2364
02:03:43.359 --> 02:03:45.520
I don't know. I don't know how I feel about
2365
02:03:45.720 --> 02:03:49.000
the end of this film because, uh, you know, she
2366
02:03:50.720 --> 02:03:52.640
she did what she thought she had to do, but
2367
02:03:52.800 --> 02:03:57.159
then like you know, she's got her story and she's
2368
02:03:57.199 --> 02:03:59.359
sticking to it. But we as the audience are the
2369
02:03:59.439 --> 02:04:02.279
only ones really have have shared in this journey and
2370
02:04:02.439 --> 02:04:06.640
know really what the actual story is. So yeah, it's
2371
02:04:06.720 --> 02:04:10.720
hard for me to root for that, although like we've
2372
02:04:10.760 --> 02:04:13.119
seen the struggle back and forth, there's no easy answer
2373
02:04:13.199 --> 02:04:18.560
to it. So I don't know. I mean, I guess
2374
02:04:18.600 --> 02:04:22.279
it's kind of a lesson of like when you're working
2375
02:04:22.600 --> 02:04:25.600
in corporate America that you know, if you're in it
2376
02:04:25.720 --> 02:04:28.159
long enough that it eventually corrupts you and you just
2377
02:04:28.239 --> 02:04:32.279
become part of the machine. I don't know that, Yeah,
2378
02:04:32.359 --> 02:04:34.199
that might be, that might be part of it.
2379
02:04:34.279 --> 02:04:35.640
I mean, obviously none of us are ever going to
2380
02:04:35.680 --> 02:04:37.199
be in this position that lind is in, where you're
2381
02:04:37.279 --> 02:04:39.560
like on a remote on in island with your boss.
2382
02:04:40.119 --> 02:04:41.760
But you know, there is something to be said about
2383
02:04:41.760 --> 02:04:45.600
the corporate structure here where it's it's like, you know,
2384
02:04:46.079 --> 02:04:50.119
they're doing things the traditional way sometimes kind of plateausia,
2385
02:04:50.359 --> 02:04:53.960
but you know, getting a little ruthless maybe gets you
2386
02:04:54.039 --> 02:04:54.680
to the top.
2387
02:04:55.079 --> 02:04:57.399
I suppose, And if that's what you're going for, that's cool.
2388
02:04:57.560 --> 02:05:00.800
But you know, you know, she has that line early
2389
02:05:00.920 --> 02:05:03.560
on the film, She's like, I'm not like you. And
2390
02:05:04.199 --> 02:05:05.560
you know, by the end of the film, I'm looking
2391
02:05:05.640 --> 02:05:07.279
at this and I'm like, I'm not like either of
2392
02:05:07.359 --> 02:05:12.119
them and like I'm perfectly fine just you know, acting
2393
02:05:12.159 --> 02:05:14.199
with integrity and being my own person. But I'm not
2394
02:05:14.359 --> 02:05:16.720
interested in that kind of stuff. So that's just that's
2395
02:05:16.800 --> 02:05:20.560
not me. So, yeah, being able to sleep at night
2396
02:05:20.720 --> 02:05:26.159
is probably the most important thing you need. Absolutely, Yeah yeah, yeah,
2397
02:05:26.359 --> 02:05:30.039
So but to each their own, I don't know. But yeah,
2398
02:05:30.119 --> 02:05:35.159
so that's uh, that's send help. I don't know based
2399
02:05:35.199 --> 02:05:39.359
on all of this. Like I said early on, I
2400
02:05:39.439 --> 02:05:42.800
think this movie from the trailer was sort of marketed
2401
02:05:42.960 --> 02:05:47.600
as a horror film. I was talking Abu Buddy Scott
2402
02:05:47.640 --> 02:05:49.760
recently about this movie because he watched it recently, and
2403
02:05:49.840 --> 02:05:52.880
he was kind of like, he's like, yeah, it was okay.
2404
02:05:52.920 --> 02:05:54.840
He's like, I didn't really care for you the characters,
2405
02:05:54.960 --> 02:05:56.439
and I kind of was hoping it was like more
2406
02:05:56.520 --> 02:05:58.560
horror esque and whatever, and it's like I got thinking
2407
02:05:58.560 --> 02:06:01.560
about that. I'm like, well, it's kind of true that
2408
02:06:02.640 --> 02:06:04.840
you go into this expecting it to be a Sam
2409
02:06:04.960 --> 02:06:09.359
Raimi horror film, and what I kind of took away
2410
02:06:09.399 --> 02:06:11.840
from it was this was more of like a Hitchcock
2411
02:06:11.920 --> 02:06:15.680
type suspense film that had horror moments to it and
2412
02:06:16.079 --> 02:06:18.720
gore to it and stuff like that. So I don't
2413
02:06:18.760 --> 02:06:22.159
know how this movie did at the box office, but
2414
02:06:22.279 --> 02:06:25.479
I can see why it was probably somewhat divisive. It
2415
02:06:25.520 --> 02:06:27.239
seemed like some of the reviews are kind of like
2416
02:06:27.960 --> 02:06:32.079
some people like it, some don't because they were probably
2417
02:06:32.159 --> 02:06:36.159
the expectations were probably different. But I've watched this movie
2418
02:06:36.199 --> 02:06:38.239
a couple of times now over the last few weeks
2419
02:06:38.640 --> 02:06:41.640
before we did the show, and I think it benefits
2420
02:06:41.720 --> 02:06:46.079
from a rewatch or two because once you know what
2421
02:06:46.239 --> 02:06:51.880
you know, it changes how you watch the film, and
2422
02:06:52.039 --> 02:06:54.600
I think there's some longevity to that. And I again,
2423
02:06:54.800 --> 02:06:57.039
especially like the score. I think that Danny Effman score
2424
02:06:57.079 --> 02:06:58.680
is one of the best ones he's done in a
2425
02:06:58.720 --> 02:07:02.960
long time. So I mean, yeah, the Rotten Tomatoes reviews
2426
02:07:02.960 --> 02:07:07.720
are good. Yeah, Yeah, critics and audiences alike, we're yeah,
2427
02:07:07.800 --> 02:07:10.279
praising this movie. So I think that a lot of
2428
02:07:10.640 --> 02:07:12.960
a lot of the IMDb interviews that I ran across
2429
02:07:13.079 --> 02:07:16.159
for like Six's Wow, like sixes and six and a
2430
02:07:16.159 --> 02:07:18.039
halfs and stuff, because a lot of people just were
2431
02:07:18.119 --> 02:07:20.399
kind of expecting something different. You know.
2432
02:07:20.479 --> 02:07:22.760
I don't blame in at all for feeling that way.
2433
02:07:23.000 --> 02:07:27.680
Yeah, but I think also there's there's two sides of
2434
02:07:27.720 --> 02:07:30.520
thought here, where a lot of people are expecting a
2435
02:07:30.640 --> 02:07:34.600
return to Sam Raimi's horror roots, but the other side
2436
02:07:34.600 --> 02:07:36.720
of the coin is like Sam Raimi is a filmmaker,
2437
02:07:36.880 --> 02:07:42.479
has grown to be a very well respected and good
2438
02:07:42.680 --> 02:07:47.159
filmmaker that still, you know, stays true to his roots
2439
02:07:47.359 --> 02:07:50.880
and does things in certain ways that a lot of
2440
02:07:50.960 --> 02:07:54.840
directors don't really do as much anymore. So I'm thankful
2441
02:07:54.880 --> 02:07:58.359
that he's still making films like this. This feels like
2442
02:07:59.279 --> 02:08:02.000
a movie that would have come out in the two thousands,
2443
02:08:02.640 --> 02:08:04.720
and that's not a bad thing. I think this was
2444
02:08:04.760 --> 02:08:07.159
supposed to be like kind of it was gonna be
2445
02:08:07.279 --> 02:08:10.199
in like on streaming, like pre covid or something, and
2446
02:08:10.319 --> 02:08:13.680
then it got a theatrical release this year or something.
2447
02:08:13.760 --> 02:08:17.600
There's a weird history to it, but I think it's good.
2448
02:08:17.800 --> 02:08:20.920
I enjoyed it quite a bit. I think it's suspenseful.
2449
02:08:21.720 --> 02:08:24.840
I think it's more of a thriller slash suspense film
2450
02:08:24.920 --> 02:08:28.119
than a horror film. But you know, a couple of
2451
02:08:28.119 --> 02:08:29.840
times that I've watched it, I've enjoyed it, and I've
2452
02:08:30.199 --> 02:08:33.720
I've taken some more things away from it. Each time
2453
02:08:33.760 --> 02:08:35.880
I've watched it made it's made me think about a
2454
02:08:35.960 --> 02:08:38.640
lot of things and just the dynamics between the characters
2455
02:08:38.680 --> 02:08:41.600
and stuff. So you know, if a movie gets you
2456
02:08:41.680 --> 02:08:43.800
thinking about it after it's over, then I think it's
2457
02:08:44.399 --> 02:08:45.680
had a pretty good effect on you.
2458
02:08:46.560 --> 02:08:49.079
One hundred percent agreed. Yeah, I think the characters are
2459
02:08:49.239 --> 02:08:51.239
what stand out the most about this movie. You know,
2460
02:08:51.479 --> 02:08:54.520
like you you really like start rooting for Linda and
2461
02:08:54.560 --> 02:08:59.880
you start rooting against Bradley, and I've yeah, Cathartic is
2462
02:08:59.920 --> 02:09:01.840
the only way that I think I can describe this
2463
02:09:01.920 --> 02:09:02.239
the most.
2464
02:09:02.359 --> 02:09:02.520
Like it.
2465
02:09:03.000 --> 02:09:05.399
You know, if you've worked some some you know, awful
2466
02:09:05.600 --> 02:09:08.159
job that's you know, not going anywhere or going nowhere fast,
2467
02:09:08.279 --> 02:09:10.039
then like you can you can see this job and
2468
02:09:10.079 --> 02:09:13.039
you can just like relate this. This movie will speak
2469
02:09:13.039 --> 02:09:15.479
to your soul, you know at times, And I.
2470
02:09:15.479 --> 02:09:18.640
Think that's probably why it's resonating so well, because you know,
2471
02:09:18.720 --> 02:09:21.000
a lot of people, a lot of younger people are
2472
02:09:21.079 --> 02:09:24.319
in the workforce now and discovering like what a shit
2473
02:09:24.359 --> 02:09:26.479
show it is, or like you've got to do this
2474
02:09:26.600 --> 02:09:29.079
for forty years? Yeah yeah, or it's you know, it's
2475
02:09:29.119 --> 02:09:31.600
not what it's not what I was told it was
2476
02:09:31.680 --> 02:09:34.720
going to be. So you know, there's a there's a
2477
02:09:34.760 --> 02:09:38.800
bit of a like you said a Catharsis to this.
2478
02:09:39.399 --> 02:09:41.960
Then I don't know. I think it's I think it's
2479
02:09:42.000 --> 02:09:43.840
a good film. I think it's worth watching, and it
2480
02:09:43.960 --> 02:09:45.560
might not be your cup of tea, but if it
2481
02:09:45.640 --> 02:09:50.039
gets you actually like kind of discussing things or thinking
2482
02:09:50.039 --> 02:09:52.039
about stuff, then I think it's kind of done this job.
2483
02:09:52.199 --> 02:09:58.640
So absolutely, yeah, no, it's I mean I wouldn't. It's
2484
02:09:58.760 --> 02:10:02.279
it's hard to say that, you know, you can't really say, oh,
2485
02:10:02.359 --> 02:10:05.880
it's like the best film he's ever done, or it's
2486
02:10:05.920 --> 02:10:07.800
the worst film he's ever done. But it's a good,
2487
02:10:08.000 --> 02:10:11.000
solid movie all around. I feel like, you know, it's
2488
02:10:11.039 --> 02:10:13.600
got some good callbacks tos earlier stuff, but also like
2489
02:10:14.479 --> 02:10:17.000
it's a suspenseful film and he knows how to like
2490
02:10:18.119 --> 02:10:21.560
set the pace for turning the heat up just a
2491
02:10:21.600 --> 02:10:25.039
little bit at a time. Each time so yeah, I
2492
02:10:25.840 --> 02:10:29.399
you know, personally speaking, other than Spider Man's you know,
2493
02:10:29.479 --> 02:10:32.319
this might be my favorite Same Raimi you know project
2494
02:10:32.359 --> 02:10:34.399
out there. Dan. That's a bold statement.
2495
02:10:34.720 --> 02:10:37.319
Yeah, it's it's some fantastic you know stuff here in
2496
02:10:37.399 --> 02:10:37.760
my book.
2497
02:10:37.880 --> 02:10:40.000
We need to get you watching some more same Raimi stuff.
2498
02:10:40.920 --> 02:10:45.600
Shots yeah, shots fired. All right, Well, I think that
2499
02:10:45.680 --> 02:10:47.840
about wraps it up for this unless you have anything
2500
02:10:47.840 --> 02:10:51.199
else you want to add. Yeah, I guess just for
2501
02:10:51.399 --> 02:10:53.199
the for the record, Yeah, this movie's a you know,
2502
02:10:53.319 --> 02:10:56.079
home run by, you know, get it for yourself, get
2503
02:10:56.119 --> 02:10:59.279
it on the shelf. I'm gonna say it's a solid rental.
2504
02:11:00.159 --> 02:11:03.720
Fuck you right, I'm gonna say it's a it's a
2505
02:11:03.800 --> 02:11:08.760
solid rental over like a couple of nights kind of thing.
2506
02:11:09.119 --> 02:11:13.880
Or I don't know, it might be a bye for you.
2507
02:11:14.279 --> 02:11:16.359
It might be a rental. You might enjoy it once
2508
02:11:16.479 --> 02:11:17.920
and not want to see it again. But if you
2509
02:11:18.079 --> 02:11:20.319
give yourself, if you watch it at least a couple
2510
02:11:20.399 --> 02:11:23.640
of times, you might come away with a little different opinions.
2511
02:11:23.720 --> 02:11:28.079
So pick one. I'm gonna say it's a solid rental.
2512
02:11:29.439 --> 02:11:34.520
That's my part two. Yeah, so it was. It was
2513
02:11:34.560 --> 02:11:36.760
a good movie, though, I mean it is good. I
2514
02:11:36.840 --> 02:11:38.319
have watched it a couple of times, so.
2515
02:11:40.920 --> 02:11:44.680
I don't know, you know, for someone who's watched it
2516
02:11:45.159 --> 02:11:47.399
a few times, I'm not surprised you're not giving it
2517
02:11:47.479 --> 02:11:48.960
that that buye standard.
2518
02:11:49.159 --> 02:11:52.359
That's and that's what's that's what's kind of divisive about it,
2519
02:11:52.479 --> 02:11:55.159
because you know, I kind of struggle with that a
2520
02:11:55.199 --> 02:11:58.319
little bit, thinking, well, yeah, it's good to watch a
2521
02:11:58.399 --> 02:12:02.039
couple of times, but like, after sure, I've understood it
2522
02:12:02.119 --> 02:12:04.039
for a while, I think I would be fine putting
2523
02:12:04.039 --> 02:12:06.159
it on the shelf for a long time. Let me
2524
02:12:06.600 --> 02:12:09.079
go back to your text message after you first watched it.
2525
02:12:10.079 --> 02:12:14.319
Both the receipts, this movie was fucking amazing. Hold on,
2526
02:12:14.439 --> 02:12:18.720
let me let me search it up. It was on
2527
02:12:19.039 --> 02:12:22.960
the first viewing. Yes, it was after like the third
2528
02:12:23.039 --> 02:12:25.279
or fourth viewing. Probably good for a while.
2529
02:12:27.159 --> 02:12:28.880
I don't know, I don't, I don't. I can't search
2530
02:12:28.920 --> 02:12:29.720
the receipts.
2531
02:12:29.880 --> 02:12:32.199
Yeah, it's fine, I know, I know. I said that
2532
02:12:32.279 --> 02:12:35.600
it was amazing at first, because like, I, yeah, I
2533
02:12:36.039 --> 02:12:38.000
probably should have gone to the theater to see it
2534
02:12:38.119 --> 02:12:42.760
with you. But that was the that was the mindset
2535
02:12:42.960 --> 02:12:44.439
that I was in at the time. It was just like,
2536
02:12:44.560 --> 02:12:45.600
I don't know, I don't want to go to the
2537
02:12:45.600 --> 02:12:49.319
theater to see this whatever you know, so who knows?
2538
02:12:50.119 --> 02:12:52.520
Who knows? Nothing I say makes sense, So don't take
2539
02:12:52.560 --> 02:12:55.840
any advice that I say. For granted, you know advice
2540
02:12:55.960 --> 02:12:59.479
is not to be taken, so you're mile ledge may vary,
2541
02:12:59.680 --> 02:13:02.520
but if nothing else, I think we can all agree
2542
02:13:02.560 --> 02:13:06.920
that Sam Raimi is a competent filmmaker and you know
2543
02:13:07.000 --> 02:13:09.640
whatever he has that's coming up, like, I'm going to
2544
02:13:09.680 --> 02:13:13.920
see it, so I can say that I agree.
2545
02:13:14.079 --> 02:13:16.960
Yes, I did find your tax message perfect.
2546
02:13:17.920 --> 02:13:23.039
You said one the Bruce cameo is pretty great. Yeah, yeah,
2547
02:13:23.520 --> 02:13:25.960
then I would like a Bruce Campbell painting on my wall,
2548
02:13:26.119 --> 02:13:28.640
just saying I would like, yeah, I'll take that one. Yeah.
2549
02:13:29.279 --> 02:13:31.399
But then I've heard you said, bug, this movie is
2550
02:13:31.560 --> 02:13:34.199
so good. It is so you said, And I said,
2551
02:13:34.319 --> 02:13:36.680
and you didn't see it in theaters? He said, I'm sorry,
2552
02:13:36.800 --> 02:13:39.720
I've never been so wrong wrong, and now you're giving
2553
02:13:39.760 --> 02:13:42.159
it a rental. I'll flip this table right now.
2554
02:13:42.119 --> 02:13:45.000
That's fine. I don't care this table. I got this
2555
02:13:45.119 --> 02:13:47.039
on Facebook market place, this table and word shit.
2556
02:13:47.359 --> 02:13:51.319
So you can't pin this man down. He fluctuates. His
2557
02:13:51.520 --> 02:13:53.479
opinions are rapidly evolving.
2558
02:13:53.880 --> 02:13:59.399
Never what can I say? I don't know. So No,
2559
02:13:59.560 --> 02:14:02.399
it's good. It's a good movie. So see it. It's
2560
02:14:02.479 --> 02:14:08.039
on streaming now, is it on Hulu? It's on something? Yeah,
2561
02:14:08.239 --> 02:14:10.960
so it's we're checking out if nothing else. So how
2562
02:14:11.000 --> 02:14:11.720
about how about this?
2563
02:14:11.800 --> 02:14:15.199
If you're a Sam Raimi fan, there's a very you know,
2564
02:14:15.319 --> 02:14:17.600
strong possibility you want this on your shelf. But you know,
2565
02:14:17.640 --> 02:14:19.199
if you're just running the middle horror fan, you know
2566
02:14:19.239 --> 02:14:20.119
you're probably gonna rent it.
2567
02:14:20.840 --> 02:14:23.279
Yeah, because again, I wouldn't say it's a horror film.
2568
02:14:23.880 --> 02:14:26.880
So if you're going into it buying it thinking it's
2569
02:14:26.920 --> 02:14:30.000
a horror film, Same Raimi horror film, you're probably gonna
2570
02:14:30.000 --> 02:14:32.479
be a little disappointed. Yeah, but if you watch it
2571
02:14:32.600 --> 02:14:35.560
as a suspense thriller might be a little different.
2572
02:14:35.800 --> 02:14:35.960
Yeah.
2573
02:14:36.079 --> 02:14:39.920
I think that's right. So I don't know, so cheers.
2574
02:14:40.880 --> 02:14:44.560
So anyway, Yeah, so that's send help. It's probably our
2575
02:14:44.760 --> 02:14:47.680
our most recent film that we've talked about on this podcast,
2576
02:14:47.840 --> 02:14:50.720
so it's cool to feels good to talk about some
2577
02:14:50.800 --> 02:14:52.600
recent stuff. So it's true.
2578
02:14:52.640 --> 02:14:55.479
I think same Raimi definitely like bridge the gap between
2579
02:14:55.600 --> 02:14:58.439
you know, our our generations here between Evil Dead and
2580
02:14:58.520 --> 02:15:01.279
Spider Man. This is a good natural, you know, leave
2581
02:15:01.399 --> 02:15:01.640
to go.
2582
02:15:01.720 --> 02:15:04.439
To Yeah, have you ever seen Dark Man? I'm not.
2583
02:15:04.720 --> 02:15:07.439
We should watch that sometime, So stay tuned.
2584
02:15:07.880 --> 02:15:10.760
I've gotta I'm doing for next week. I'm doing like
2585
02:15:10.840 --> 02:15:12.800
the the West pick. You know a movie that I
2586
02:15:12.880 --> 02:15:14.520
think is is in your alley?
2587
02:15:14.640 --> 02:15:17.079
Oh yeah, do you wanna do you wanna tease that
2588
02:15:17.119 --> 02:15:19.039
a little bit? Talk about what you're what you're thinking.
2589
02:15:19.279 --> 02:15:21.000
Yeah, I mean we had a pretty good story. You're
2590
02:15:21.000 --> 02:15:23.239
you're already very well informed on what it is because
2591
02:15:23.560 --> 02:15:26.399
you aced it during the Mortal Kombat excursion. So yeah,
2592
02:15:26.479 --> 02:15:28.560
that's I think we can do it the old school
2593
02:15:28.600 --> 02:15:30.199
way and set up what we're watching next.
2594
02:15:30.600 --> 02:15:31.680
Yeah, yeah, please. Yeah.
2595
02:15:31.760 --> 02:15:33.079
So I think this is a little bit of a
2596
02:15:33.119 --> 02:15:35.840
funny story. So you know, we've been kind of like,
2597
02:15:36.039 --> 02:15:39.279
you know, volume this idea around where like, you know,
2598
02:15:39.359 --> 02:15:40.880
I'll pick a movie that you.
2599
02:15:40.920 --> 02:15:42.520
Know is in in West is alley. Maybe he'll do
2600
02:15:42.600 --> 02:15:44.439
one for you know, in my kind of playbook.
2601
02:15:46.039 --> 02:15:48.520
But we were at Mortal Kombat and I told him,
2602
02:15:48.560 --> 02:15:50.760
I gave him a hint on like okay, so yeah,
2603
02:15:51.039 --> 02:15:53.600
the movie that I'm gonna choose for you is one
2604
02:15:53.680 --> 02:15:55.760
that you showed me early on, you know, like you
2605
02:15:55.920 --> 02:15:56.600
let me rent it.
2606
02:15:56.880 --> 02:15:59.680
M hmm. Yeah. Back when we first started working together,

was like, you let me And it's like I may
2610
02:16:08.199 --> 02:16:10.920
may have said this afterwards or beforehand, I can't remember exactly,
2611
02:16:11.000 --> 02:16:14.199

like I kind of talked about before on the show,
2621

I don't like to push out content all the time.
2622
02:16:47.360 --> 02:16:50.280
I would rather let it simmer for a little bit
2623
02:16:50.319 --> 02:16:55.559
