1
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:20,960
The hello and welcome to the 
extra credits of Sam Raimi Send 

2
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,720
Help starring Rachel McAdams and
Dylan O'Brien. 

3
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,880
I'm Trey and I'm Kelsey. 
This movie is a ton of fun. 

4
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:28,520
I'm so excited for people to see
it. 

5
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:33,920
It releases wide this weekend. 
It is A2 Hander Island survival 

6
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:38,400
story that starts off as a 
workplace comedy and mutates 

7
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:42,560
into this like deranged sun 
kissed campy horror romance. 

8
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,360
What did you think about Sent 
Help? 

9
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:48,080
We saw it like a week ago now. 
Yeah, I mean, it was a lot of 

10
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:49,720
fun. 
Like, I'm actually really 

11
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:53,760
surprised at the huge positive 
response that it's getting from 

12
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,400
general audiences because we 
went to see it because it has 

13
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:03,560
both of our boyfriends, Dylan 
O'Brien and then Rachel McAdams,

14
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,080
obviously. 
And so like, I knew people would

15
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,480
go to see it probably more so 
even for Rachel McAdams, just 

16
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,240
for like broader audiences. 
But we walked out and we were 

17
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:16,120
like, that was fun because we 
love the people in it, right? 

18
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,240
Like didn't love the movie, but 
whatever. 

19
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:24,720
Like it was not a waste of time,
but people are loving it and I 

20
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,240
and I love that for the movie. 
I love that for Rachel McAdams 

21
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,080
and Dylan O'Brien. 
Yeah, I think the people also 

22
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,040
love Sam Raimi and his 
unconventional heightened style 

23
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,120
and he hasn't made a horror 
movie in quite a while. 

24
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,780
And obviously he is the the fame
director of the original Spider 

25
00:01:38,780 --> 00:01:41,600
Man films from the 2000, the 
Tobey Maguire movies that are 

26
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,520
amazing that we also love quite 
a bit. 

27
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:48,680
Yeah, if you like Sam Raimi, his
like, let's say, absurd, campy 

28
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:53,280
visual style and even dialogue 
that he likes to have in his 

29
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,320
movies where everything's a 
little bit exaggerated and 

30
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,760
playing with genre and tone, and
you like Rachel McAdams or Dylan

31
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:00,520
O'Brien, you'll probably love 
this movie. 

32
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,600
So I think 2/3 of that really 
worked for me in this film. 

33
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,800
So therefore I thought it was a 
weird, genuinely fun experience.

34
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,160
I think our theater loved it. 
So I was a little bit curious to

35
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,480
see what it would be like to 
hear from mass audiences because

36
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:17,840
we saw an early screening. 
But I also completely understand

37
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,880
the response because I think 
that, you know, a few years ago 

38
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:26,680
we got a fun satire starring Ray
Fiennes and Andy Taylor Joy and 

39
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,120
Nicholas Holt called The Menu, 
which this movie reminded me of 

40
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,320
quite a bit. 
Oh yeah, that's really 

41
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:33,400
interesting. 
Comedy. 

42
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,920
I definitely, I mean, as we 
talked about Dylan O'Brien 

43
00:02:35,920 --> 00:02:38,680
today, I think Nicholas Holt is 
an interesting comparison of 

44
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,320
like different career 
trajectories for like these type

45
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,440
of men that are that's a 
broadcast in Hollywood. 

46
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,880
Yeah, that's fun. 
OK, to start off today's pod, I,

47
00:02:47,920 --> 00:02:50,440
I want to get in a little bit 
into what our January has been 

48
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,760
like because we we haven't done 
an episode in a bit and also 

49
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,000
what February looks like because
it's a little bit of a thinner 

50
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,880
movie month. 
Let's start with a fun question,

51
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,480
OK? 
How would we do on an island 

52
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:05,640
like this? 
Before I answer, listeners, 

53
00:03:05,640 --> 00:03:07,840
yeah, in the comments, let us 
know. 

54
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,240
Please let us know who do you 
think would survive? 

55
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,440
Because give us your best guess.
I feel like this is always, you 

56
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:16,200
know, something, especially 
since we are maybe not like the 

57
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:20,800
prime survivor generation, 
although, yeah, you are, I guess

58
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,880
like you are maybe a product of 
like your parents watching it 

59
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:26,520
all the time. 
So you watched it all the time? 

60
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,880
Boston Rob, baby. 
Yeah, I grew up with Survivor. 

61
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:29,880
I don't know what that is. 
It's OK. 

62
00:03:29,920 --> 00:03:35,320
OK, so I, I, you know, watch, 
end up like watching Survivor 

63
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,280
for the first time, even though 
obviously like I knew about it. 

64
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:42,400
We grew up in like, the game 
show Fear Factor generation, 

65
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,680
certainly of like people doing 
crazy shit and eating bugs on TV

66
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,800
and like sitting in a coffin of 
snakes. 

67
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,280
I was more Amazing Race, Big 
Brother, Survivor. 

68
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:56,480
I was more in those spaces. 
OK, I was more American fear 

69
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:01,800
factor and then whatever other 
like MTV games that they played 

70
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,440
to like kind of a, you know, 
gamified hot people survival. 

71
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,600
Your yeah, your shows feel like 
they're into like, extremities, 

72
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,600
and mine were like, into like 
social competition. 

73
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:12,840
Yeah, I mean, I think Survivor 
is an interesting concept. 

74
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,680
We watched a couple seasons 
during the pandemic, right? 

75
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,600
Like we really got into it. 
I was having a a really fun 

76
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,200
time. 
And I think so, you know, 

77
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:22,840
there's a there's a different 
question of like who would 

78
00:04:22,840 --> 00:04:26,600
actually win Survivor the TV 
show, which is very pivotal. 

79
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:31,120
And I love about send help in 
terms of Rachel McAdams 

80
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,920
character. 
But the question is, would I, 

81
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:39,760
you know, be the one who 
survives in Survivor the show or

82
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,480
in a barooned island castaway 
send help situation? 

83
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:44,640
Because I think those are two 
different. 

84
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:45,880
Questions. 
It's a great clarification. 

85
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:47,640
Let's do both. 
OK, Starting with Survivor. 

86
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:49,880
Yeah, Starting with Survivor 
listeners let us know Trey's 

87
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:51,800
going to win Survivor. 
I'm out. 

88
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,920
I can't build a shelter. 
I can't start a fire. 

89
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,320
I would obviously do a lot of 
like YouTube prep, right? 

90
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,600
Like I would I I can really 
study. 

91
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:01,560
I'm a great study. 
We're not. 

92
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,120
Going to be on Survivor together
though, right? 

93
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,280
This is like our individual 
seasons, like we have other 

94
00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:06,960
groups of people that. 
Were I guess so, why would we? 

95
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,640
Would we? 
Are there survival? 

96
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,000
Couples. 
They have that. 

97
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,640
That's awesome. 
I feel like we could do a great 

98
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,520
job with that. 
We would be very, I mean, we 

99
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:21,760
have a podcast like people know 
our our dynamic, I guess sort 

100
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,400
of, but I mean, we would 
certainly get into some fights. 

101
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:28,160
Like we are both very strong 
headed when it's like we need to

102
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,560
do something that maybe like an 
amazing race kind of thing, like

103
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,000
we need to, you know, do this 
task. 

104
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:35,920
We both feel a certain way about
it. 

105
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:40,640
So I feel like we could we could
make some entertaining TV in 

106
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,720
terms of our individual seasons.
I'm out in like 1 of the first 

107
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,600
rounds possibly. 
I feel like I'm akin to the the 

108
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:50,600
guy who made White Lotus. 
No, I think you're 

109
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:55,080
underestimating how like of an 
enjoyable experience it is to be

110
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,200
around you while also feeling 
kind of like a non threatening. 

111
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,000
Oh, like I'm going to speak up 
on people. 

112
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,440
Yeah. 
And you, I mean, you remember 

113
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,200
probably some of the seasons 
that we watched during the 

114
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,200
pandemic where there was like a 
there was one season in 

115
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,600
particular where this guy, 
forget what who he was or what 

116
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,880
season it was, but he won like 
70% of the competitions got to 

117
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,080
the last two carried this like 
older person with him. 

118
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,000
It was an older woman or man. 
And then they yeah, they ended 

119
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,720
up winning the woman. 
The woman, Yeah. 

120
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,200
Spoiler alert. 
And like, I think it's probably 

121
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,080
fun, but he was like fake happy 
for her. 

122
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,440
Yeah, he was acting. 
That performance deserves extra 

123
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,800
credit for that Survivor season 
because he we watched the like 

124
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:38,080
cast reunion thing and like the 
work, the the effort in that 

125
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,560
performance of being like fake 
happy nice guy. 

126
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,200
I'm like, I actually won this 
shit. 

127
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,840
Like how in the world? 
Yeah. 

128
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:51,920
I think teachers or people in 
service jobs or counseling or 

129
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,720
even like HR, anything where you
could deal with complicated 

130
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:59,120
personalities 24/7 and teachers 
in particular do like 5 jobs at 

131
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:00,160
once. 
Like I think they would do 

132
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:04,520
extremely well in social status 
survival games like Survivor. 

133
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,840
I do forget. 
Yeah, like people vote for you. 

134
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,920
I just think that I wouldn't 
like, yes, I, I would be fine 

135
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:15,600
with that aspect of it. 
Like I, you know, I can put up 

136
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:21,320
with with all types of people, 
but I do think in terms of being

137
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:25,280
an asset on the island, there's 
just really not a lot I could 

138
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,360
do. 
My thing would be creating mini 

139
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,880
alliances with all these people 
who hate one another. 

140
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,000
That would be my goal. 
I mean, I think that you would 

141
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,400
win the show. 
I I don't think I'd win because 

142
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,240
I think that I would. 
I would probably get overly 

143
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,320
competitive in the games, make 
make myself a threat. 

144
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,080
I'd become a threat by getting 
third or second or first place 

145
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,360
too many times in a row. 
They're like, well, that one 

146
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,880
guy's won too many medals. 
He we can't vote him out at the 

147
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,480
tribal thing. 
So like, I guess we'll just get 

148
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,200
Trey this week. 
I feel like that would that 

149
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,200
would happen to me. 
It would be like one of the the 

150
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,560
unexpected. 
Like I can't believe they they 

151
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,720
voted them off. 
Right now, if we go to the 

152
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,720
actual disaster scenario. 
But but so you OK, so you do not

153
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:04,720
think you'd win survivor the 
game either? 

154
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,000
But who do you think would make 
it further, me or you? 

155
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:08,720
It'd definitely be. 
You would make it further. 

156
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,240
That's what I'm saying. 
I think that unless you are a 

157
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:15,200
freak athlete and like 
incredibly like extraordinarily 

158
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,600
good at puzzles, which happens 
to be like one of every two 

159
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,440
games in Survivor, then you 
probably are not going to make 

160
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,720
it into the top three or top 4 
because you need that immunity 

161
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,480
or whatever it's called. 
And you can find them like the 

162
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,240
hidden things around the forest 
and stuff like that. 

163
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:30,840
It's been a minute since I've 
watched Survivor but I grew up 

164
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:32,240
with. 
It I would definitely dedicate 

165
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,919
all my time to that. 
I would just be looking in the 

166
00:08:34,919 --> 00:08:37,240
forest. 
Like I feel like that's the only

167
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:38,559
thing. 
I'm just thinking you're you're 

168
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,039
underestimating how much of a 
good hang you are and how much 

169
00:08:41,039 --> 00:08:43,039
people would want to keep you 
around, even if you're 

170
00:08:43,039 --> 00:08:45,360
physically like not into the 
competition And you just like 

171
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,240
we're like, I'm not going to do 
it today. 

172
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,240
Like if you're just like in the 
back, like don't worry about me.

173
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,480
And like we shouldn't vote. 
We shouldn't waste a vote to get

174
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,720
Kelsey out this week. 
You just keep going. 

175
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,320
Keep. 
You know, whatever that I 

176
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,640
something that I do think is a a
strength of mine is that I do 

177
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,880
like tell people when I when I 
appreciate them, you know, and I

178
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:08,440
do think that there are a lot of
thankless pieces of this 

179
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,480
survivor team. 
You know, whoever's building the

180
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,960
shelter, whatever. 
Like I would certainly like Trey

181
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,960
makes us dinner every night. 
Like I'm always like, this is 

182
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,000
like the best fucking meal I've 
ever had. 

183
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,320
Like not to not to make you feel
great. 

184
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,320
What's a different different 
example besides maybe like? 

185
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,560
Thank you so much for cooking. 
Thank you so much for my 

186
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:34,200
porridge. 
Food. 

187
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,840
No, I mean more like if someone 
does something that I think is 

188
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,800
like good, I'll tell them, you 
know, So I would definitely 

189
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,760
like, you know, tell people all 
the time this fish fucking 

190
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,000
amazing. 
Great job, Greg. 

191
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,760
And you know, I would I would 
just I would make it known. 

192
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:52,000
So maybe, you know, they have a 
soft spot in their heart for. 

193
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,440
Me. 
My only concern with both of us 

194
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,680
is I don't know if either of us 
are great at group projects. 

195
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,280
You in particular are not a 
group project person. 

196
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,920
If you're better at things than 
anybody else in the group, 

197
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:03,720
you're like, I'll just do it. 
Oh hell yeah. 

198
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:07,720
In fact, that's sort of our love
story, which will I think hold 

199
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,320
off on the main feed to put that
out there. 

200
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,120
We'll talk about that on. 
The page that's also for a long 

201
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,680
time listeners the origins of 
mine and James's friendship as. 

202
00:10:14,680 --> 00:10:19,760
Well, yeah, that's true. 
Wow, getting back to send help 

203
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,040
in this island that Dylan 
O'Brien and Rachel McAdams find 

204
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,800
themselves on. 
Would you survive with whoever 

205
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:30,440
your biggest op is on an island 
for weeks? 

206
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,080
I don't think I would survive 
more than a few days. 

207
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,400
I would certainly die very 
quickly. 

208
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:40,440
I think, you know, sun exposure.
I, you know, we, we live in 

209
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:44,520
Colorado. 
We just recently like went to 

210
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:48,960
Florida and I essentially like 
just could not deal with the 

211
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:50,800
heat. 
I was like, I'm dying. 

212
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:57,160
I think that, I think just that 
one example is, is, I mean, I 

213
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:00,160
could pull it together obviously
if I'm in a survival situation, 

214
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:06,400
but yeah, I would just suck it 
fishing and and doing all the 

215
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,360
things I need to do. 
Yeah, we're not really. 

216
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:10,880
We're not outdoorsy people. 
It's weird to say that now that 

217
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,240
we've moved to Denver. 
Like I've never been camping. 

218
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,240
I just, I've never found an 
interest in that. 

219
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:17,680
That's not really interesting to
me. 

220
00:11:17,680 --> 00:11:19,200
I don't really want to go 
camping. 

221
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,280
So I think I would die pretty 
quickly in this. 

222
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,200
I think I would go find a cave 
and then I would probably get 

223
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,640
fucked up by that boar in the 
movie. 

224
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:27,920
And that's that's how I'd go 
out. 

225
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,760
Yeah, the wild animals scare me.
I, I, yeah, I don't know either 

226
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:33,960
of us would do well. 
Like a depressing death. 

227
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,720
Yeah, like, oh shit, that's we. 
Need a Rachel McAdams? 

228
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:38,240
Yeah. 
OK. 

229
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,720
So we weren't originally 
planning on doing a full episode

230
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:42,400
on this. 
We just did 10 minutes on 

231
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:43,960
Survivor. 
So I apologize about that if you

232
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,040
came for sent help. 
But we're doing this movie 

233
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,000
because it is blowing up. 
We did have a good time. 

234
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,440
I think we both have a lot to 
say about the actors and some of

235
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:58,440
the story that we liked in this.
But also January's just been, I 

236
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,960
think, a thin movie month. 
I think February is pretty thin 

237
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,160
too. 
I recommend people again go see 

238
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,160
28 Years Later Part 2, The Bone 
Temple, if not because I think 

239
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,400
we both agree that's one of our 
favorite horror movies in quite 

240
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,880
some time. 
Definitely been two very fun 

241
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:17,160
theater experiences in a horror 
movie. 28 years later Part 2 and

242
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,200
then I guess this is sort of AI 
mean people. 

243
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,240
It was marketed as a horror 
movie, but I wouldn't 

244
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,840
necessarily call it that, but 
still a very fun theater 

245
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:27,120
experience. 
A lot of reactions. 

246
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:31,560
Yeah, I think a camp horror 
comedy is what I would call send

247
00:12:31,560 --> 00:12:36,480
help for February. 
Our Patreon listeners voted for 

248
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,320
us to cover Sinners, which is 
currently the most Oscar 

249
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,840
nominated film of all time with 
16 nominations. 

250
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,200
Pretty wild. 
We didn't even discuss the Oscar

251
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:47,600
nominations. 
We do not have to do that right 

252
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,000
now. 
I'm sure we will on Patreon 

253
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:51,160
because we're not really an 
award show. 

254
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,600
It's not really thing a thing 
that we care about too much. 

255
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,840
But obviously the the Academy 
still has a lot of like 

256
00:12:58,400 --> 00:12:59,960
significance. 
And so we'll we'll certainly 

257
00:12:59,960 --> 00:13:03,760
talk about that on Patreon 
because we are also in February 

258
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:08,280
doing our first extra credits 
cup if you're curious what that 

259
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:09,840
is. 
So are we because we are 

260
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:14,320
creating a well, I guess I am 
creating an Olympic style movie 

261
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:18,400
competition designed for just 
Kelsey and I on Patreon. 

262
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,840
I'm going to keep the details, I
guess private from you from. 

263
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,520
Me as well. 
But that episode is coming later

264
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,400
in February. 
As for February episodes we 

265
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:32,160
might see on the main feed. 
The big one on paper is 

266
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,240
Withering Heights. 
I think that's what it's called.

267
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:39,600
Directed by Emerald Fennel, who 
has quietly or loudly, depending

268
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,320
on how you look at it, became 
one of the most like 

269
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:45,040
entertainingly divisive film 
makers working today with only 

270
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,400
two movies promising young woman
in Saltburn movies that I think 

271
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:52,720
we liked a lot more than most 
people, especially Saltburn as a

272
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:57,000
sort of like modern talented Mr.
Ripley riff with weird 

273
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,200
subversions of like period 
cinema, like period piece 

274
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:05,200
seminar cinema. 
She I I like that director. 

275
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,400
I like her as a writer too. 
I think she's interesting. 

276
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,680
And so I'm I am curious to see 
this movie. 

277
00:14:09,680 --> 00:14:11,960
I'm not loving the trailers. 
I'm not liking the scenes that 

278
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:13,800
I'm seeing. 
I'm not loving the discourse 

279
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,120
about the casting that I wasn't 
aware of from this. 

280
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,680
I think it's Bronte. 
Yeah, the Bronte sisters. 

281
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,760
I haven't read this book and I, 
yeah, I I'm not like familiar 

282
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:24,720
with the Bronte sisters, 
honestly, even though I was an 

283
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:28,840
English major. 
But but yeah, like so obviously 

284
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:32,840
a lot of like valid conversation
about the casting and Jacob 

285
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:34,640
Laurie. 
But I mean, just like in 

286
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,800
comparison to her other movies, 
I think there have been 

287
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:41,680
interesting things that she gets
like a lot of hate for in, you 

288
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:46,480
know, promising young women and 
then woman singular and then 

289
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:48,800
Saltburn. 
But you're right, they always 

290
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,080
have like, I feel like she's 
doing something interesting 

291
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,760
versus here it feels a little 
bit more straightforward. 

292
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,640
I don't know if it's just 
because it's an adaptation. 

293
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,320
Like a romantic drama period 
piece. 

294
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,480
Yeah. 
I think there be some surreal 

295
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:03,000
stuff that happens in it. 
Yeah, based on the trailer, that

296
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:07,080
looks a little like more 
maximalist than usual, more 

297
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,720
hyper sensual than usual. 
So even though I'm not expecting

298
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:14,040
her like sexual provocations and
it just being like straight up 

299
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,680
sex scenes, I think she'll do 
something. 

300
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:18,040
I'm sure. 
Yeah, time. 

301
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:19,480
It looks like they're doing 
something with time because I'm 

302
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,880
seeing a Lordy dressed in 
different fits throughout the 

303
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,040
movie, like different classes of
people or being with different 

304
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:26,560
classes of people. 
So I can't really tell what's 

305
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,120
going on. 
Yeah, I don't know. 

306
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,640
But I mean, it's I guess in 
comparison to her other movies, 

307
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,600
it feels a little like less like
something that I'd normally. 

308
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,560
To go see, I doubt we'll cover 
it, but if we do, it's because 

309
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,400
we love Margot Robbie. 
That's why we'll cover it 

310
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,280
because she's like one of the 
goats. 

311
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:43,640
Also Scream 7 at the end of the 
month. 

312
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,760
That's basically it. 
And Scream Seven I'm like 

313
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,840
genuinely conflicted about 
because the Scream movies 

314
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:53,080
fucking rule. 
But the way that studio handled 

315
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:59,160
firing Melissa Barrera and her 
kind of support of Palestinians 

316
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,880
and that humanitarian crisis and
like the studio looking at it as

317
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,000
something that she should be 
cancelled for. 

318
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,200
I know hundreds of artists are 
working on that movie. 

319
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,720
So we should go and support a 
film that hundreds of artists 

320
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,360
work on. 
But I do feel sort of strange 

321
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,920
giving that movie any oxygen 
considering how they handled 

322
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,560
that. 
Which now with the rumors that 

323
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:22,120
Mark Ruffalo, which I, I'm going
to say all caps rumors that I 

324
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,200
saw recently that Mark Ruffalo 
might have been laid off or 

325
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,320
something similar from Marvel as
the Hulk. 

326
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,560
Again, I don't know how true 
that is, but if we continue to 

327
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,640
see shit like this, I'm just 
going to try my best, like not 

328
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,120
see these movies in theaters 
hoping they lose money because 

329
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:38,600
the Scream is such an important 
IP to me. 

330
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,760
I'd rather the studio just like,
trade it to somebody else. 

331
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:42,280
I don't know what the rights 
look like for that. 

332
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:44,840
But yeah, that's really 
disappointing. 

333
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,040
So there's not really a lot to 
cover in February. 

334
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,360
It is a, it's a bit of an empty 
month. 

335
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:54,120
Our main feed will be back more 
consistently toward the end of 

336
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,520
February, beginning of March. 
We're trying to do a Best of 

337
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,280
2025 episode in late February, 
early March. 

338
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:03,360
Unlike most outlets, we actually
want to our listeners to see all

339
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,839
the movies first before we do a 
ranking episode of our favorite 

340
00:17:06,839 --> 00:17:08,960
movies. 
I don't know if listeners relate

341
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:12,839
to this, but every movie, movie,
podcast or like critic or outlet

342
00:17:12,839 --> 00:17:15,839
will put out their favorite 
movies of 2025 and discuss them 

343
00:17:15,839 --> 00:17:18,640
in detail. 
And most people cannot see half 

344
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,119
of the movies that they're 
talking about. 

345
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,680
And I find it to be like 
intensely frustrating because 

346
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,280
they're all competing with one 
another and not really competing

347
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,800
for any demand. 
Like I sometimes I wonder if 

348
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:32,800
it's just like film critics 
consuming each other shit and 

349
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:36,400
not actually mainstream 
audiences because who like, how 

350
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:38,800
can you, some of us see these? 
Like the Testament of Anne Lee 

351
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:42,360
just came out like, you know, a 
couple days ago for us at least.

352
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,440
And it was on so many top ten 
lists and nobody could see it 

353
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,240
like a month ago. 
So we have a lot of movies to 

354
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,800
watch throughout February. 
We'll make a list then. 

355
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:56,320
And also, I mean, you know, we 
are in a position where we're 

356
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,560
not doing this like as a 
commercial, you know, like 

357
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:03,040
project. 
So we also like want to see all 

358
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,480
the movies and we usually like 
tend to go a little bit more in 

359
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,120
depth because it's later on in 
the year. 

360
00:18:08,120 --> 00:18:10,240
I mean, it makes sense, 
obviously, to do like best of 

361
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:15,440
movie lists in January when the 
year ends, but especially since 

362
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,760
the Oscars is around the time 
that people are kind of like 

363
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,480
catching up on all the movies 
that are nominated. 

364
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,080
It's just like, I think the best
time to talk about it. 

365
00:18:25,360 --> 00:18:28,840
Yeah, I agree. 
We did catch up on some things 

366
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,280
that we missed Splitsville. 
We did. 

367
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,280
Which was one of the best 
comedies I've seen in a year or 

368
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,000
two. 
Yeah, so surprising. 

369
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:40,080
When I saw the trailer, I was 
like, this feels kind of like 

370
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,280
streaming movie that is 
whatever, a dry comedy. 

371
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:48,000
Yeah, but it is so good. 
Like it's it's wild to me that I

372
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,000
feel like I'm hearing people 
talk about friends we or people 

373
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,440
we meet on vacation. 
The new Netflix movie. 

374
00:18:54,120 --> 00:18:56,560
Did you watch? 
That I I tried to watch some of 

375
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,000
it and like respectfully to 
people who I know a lot of 

376
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,640
people are liking it. 
I and also that has to do with 

377
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:05,280
like people reading the book, 
but I could not get through it. 

378
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:10,440
Like it opens with we're going 
to do Harry Met Sally today and 

379
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:14,640
it opens with like a Harry Met 
Sally situation where they meet 

380
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:18,520
and they go on a car ride and 
like don't like each other. 

381
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:23,320
And it is just like one so 
cringy and the performances are 

382
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:28,280
bad and it and the story isn't 
interesting and it's so it made 

383
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,680
me sad. 
I tried again, even on like a 

384
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:32,360
different night. 
Couldn't do it. 

385
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,800
But Splitsville, I think is what
I mean to say like if you were 

386
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:37,960
like, you know, like friends on 
vacation was OK. 

387
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:39,040
Why is everyone talking about 
this? 

388
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,880
Go watch splitsville. 
It is so good. 

389
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,560
It, it actually like made me 
laugh throughout the whole 

390
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:51,840
movie, even with kind of I, I 
think that the trailer itself 

391
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:55,520
had a lot of like comedic things
like these two men fighting or 

392
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:59,400
whatever that felt like too out 
outsized for the movie in the 

393
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,320
trailer itself, where I was 
like, oh, this is just like 

394
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,040
another comedy that's like doing
something. 

395
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:06,000
But it fit perfectly. 
But it was actually like so 

396
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,840
funny throughout, like the and. 
It was like original. 

397
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,200
It felt really unique. 
Like I think I saw one of the 

398
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:16,160
best action scenes in since John
Wick four in the middle of this 

399
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:17,800
romantic comedy. 
Yeah. 

400
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,600
Or like marable comedy. 
I felt like if this is 40. 

401
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,920
I know whoever styled movie 
graphed the the fight sequences 

402
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:25,360
really deserves extra credit 
there. 

403
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:30,640
Audra Arjona and Dakota Johnson 
also have like never acted 

404
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:31,840
better. 
I think these are their best 

405
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:35,200
performances I've ever seen in 
these movies and Dakota Johnson.

406
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,880
I really love Dakota in. 
This I know when she starred in 

407
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:41,640
materialist, which was a huge 
quote UN quote ROM drum ROM com,

408
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:45,560
more romantic drama. 
Obviously that was pretty bad 

409
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:47,920
from Celine Song earlier this 
year and we talked about that 

410
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:51,560
already and it was weird to see 
a whole like $100 million movies

411
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,960
surrounding around Dakota 
Johnson from a great director 

412
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,640
like Celine Song kind of falls 
short for most people like us. 

413
00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,120
And then I saw her in this, you 
know, Splitsville ROM com that 

414
00:21:00,120 --> 00:21:02,800
was under scene and she's maybe 
giving her best performance I've

415
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:04,440
ever seen. 
Yeah, Well, I mean, I think 

416
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:08,320
that, you know, Dakota Johnson 
like is we we've talked a lot 

417
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,040
about her and talked about her 
on the materialist episode, but 

418
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:17,480
is often cast as like play this 
mysterious hot woman who's like 

419
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,880
shockingly hot for being a quote
UN quote older woman in 

420
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,080
Hollywood, You know what I mean?
Like that's like basically the 

421
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:29,040
role that she gets is like just 
emphasize how how sexy you are. 

422
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:33,400
And here she like is able to do 
that, but she obviously is able 

423
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,920
to break past that and actually 
have a character. 

424
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,640
And it was actually really 
refreshing to see because I, I 

425
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,160
think it's such a boring role 
that she is often asked to do. 

426
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:45,840
And Arjona is like fucking 
unreal in the movie, like, and 

427
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:49,280
just genuinely one of the most 
beautiful people I've ever seen 

428
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,080
in a film. 
To the point where I was like, 

429
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:54,240
why is she not in everything? 
And I know that she was just in 

430
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,520
Hitman and she was an and or and
so she's been in some stuff, but

431
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,520
I was like, why is she not in 
the next Knives Out? 

432
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,000
Why is she not starring in the 
Ocean's reboot? 

433
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,760
Like why is she not a major 
superstar right now? 

434
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:07,720
And I hopefully she becomes one 
this next year or two. 

435
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,360
Some other things. 
I saw the RIP from Netflix. 

436
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,480
Don't recommend it. 
How was it? 

437
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:14,840
How was it? 
How was it? 

438
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,280
How was it? 
If you like movies where they 

439
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,400
tell you the plot of the film 
every 20 minutes because they're

440
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,200
worried that you're on your 
phone while watching it, welcome

441
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:26,000
to the streaming hell. 
Introduced to introduced to us 

442
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,800
by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. 
I guess in the RIP, a movie that

443
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,840
if they made in 2005, they would
have called SWAT, but it would 

444
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,000
have had a little bit of heart 
at least. 

445
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,520
Have you seen that movie SWAT OK
with Colin Farrell? 

446
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:41,560
It was. 
It was pretty soulless. 

447
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:44,960
And I love Matt Damon and I love
Ben Affleck and it was pretty 

448
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:46,160
soulless. 
It was very disappointing. 

449
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,000
You know, what's weird, though, 
is, you know, I feel like when 

450
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,600
we were growing up, you know, we
had a lot of like, TNT movies, 

451
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:53,880
right? 
And it wasn't like a streaming 

452
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:57,120
situation, but it did feel 
almost like, yes, they had a 

453
00:22:57,120 --> 00:23:00,120
theater release, but it was 
essentially like a straight to 

454
00:23:00,120 --> 00:23:01,960
TNT. 
We usually use Tony Scott as the

455
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,080
example Man on Fire. 
Something like that. 

456
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:09,520
But it's so weird that like, why
can't we just do those again and

457
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,760
like, and now behind, I mean, 
they don't have to have the same

458
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:16,280
politics as like the 2000s 
movies, But but in terms of the 

459
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:20,400
the style and like the quality 
of of the movies that it's like 

460
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,880
it kind of knows what it is, but
it's not like, you know, spoon 

461
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,080
feeding the audience, it's plot.
I mean, they literally had Tiana

462
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,560
Taylor and Stephen Young 
delivering lines that felt like 

463
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,200
they're written by ChatGPT. 
I was like, I can't believe that

464
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,440
this is happening. 
I'm glad everybody got paid, but

465
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:40,280
maybe not I. 
Don't know Tiana Taylor, we're 

466
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,560
in the movie. 
Yeah, they both tried their best

467
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:46,240
with what they were getting. 
Yeah, and then I watched The 

468
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:50,520
Running Man with Glenn Powell. 
Oh yeah, how was that? 

469
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,800
Entertaining mess. 
Michael Cera. 

470
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:55,560
Is I came downstairs. 
A lot of fun. 

471
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,640
Downstairs is like Michael 
Cera's in this movie. 

472
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:01,040
Yes, I kind of wish they just. 
I mean, I like Glenn Powell in 

473
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:02,400
the movie, but I wish it was 
someone different. 

474
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:06,800
I think it would have been cool 
to see Edgar Wright, who I like,

475
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,760
do something similar and do 
something that's a little bit 

476
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,360
tonally ambitious like this 
movie, that it just falls flat 

477
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:17,120
if they cast somebody that was a
little bit more emotive and gave

478
00:24:17,120 --> 00:24:18,480
us the movie a little bit more 
stakes. 

479
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,920
Cause a lot of Glenn Powell's 
acting emotionally feels just a 

480
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,480
bit stunted for me. 
If somebody like Dev Patel was 

481
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:26,120
starring in the Running Man, I 
would have been like, let's 

482
00:24:26,120 --> 00:24:28,480
fucking go. 
So I think if I honestly think 

483
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,800
it was a little bit miscast, but
yeah, that's about it. 

484
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:35,360
We've been watching The Pit and 
that's amazing, obviously. 

485
00:24:35,360 --> 00:24:38,200
So check out the pin on HBO. 
Yeah, I think we can get into. 

486
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:41,520
Send help though. 
Yeah well we re watched season 1

487
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,240
and like I was surprised how 
much we had just watched it so 

488
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,720
recently and it really hit 
again. 

489
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,480
We, I mean, we cried every 
episode or at least I was 

490
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:50,800
stopping on my side of the 
couch. 

491
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,360
I, I actually don't ever look at
you after I'm like during while 

492
00:24:54,360 --> 00:24:56,000
I'm crying. 
I just assume you're not crying,

493
00:24:56,120 --> 00:24:59,000
but I cry in like every episode 
of the pit. 

494
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,600
OK, send help. 
Spoiler alert. 

495
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,240
So this movie rules. 
When it does rule, it rules 

496
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,200
because of its two actors. 
So let's start there. 

497
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:11,400
Let's start with Rachel McAdams 
and Dylan O'Brien. 

498
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:19,320
Rachel McAdams, at 47 years old 
in this movie, is asked to run 

499
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,880
around basically half naked on a
beach with a basically half 

500
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,800
naked Dylan O'Brien who are 
increasingly throughout the 

501
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:30,640
movie, both confusingly and 
disorientingly trying to kill 

502
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,480
each other and also possibly 
love each other. 

503
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,800
And they both fully commit. 
And there's a lot more plot, 

504
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,160
like there's a build up with a 
whole ROM or not. 

505
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,880
It's not a ROM com, but it feels
like it's playing with genre in 

506
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:46,520
that way where it's a workplace 
political drama at the beginning

507
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:51,080
of the movie, and but then it 
turns into this like disaster 

508
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:54,520
beach horror movie. 
But McAdams in particular in 

509
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:58,200
this film, I was sort of floored
by because I didn't like, I know

510
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:01,320
that she is Regina George. 
I know she can play in a 

511
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:06,600
heightened genre sandbox. 
I know she can kind of ground an

512
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:10,640
absurd movie like Game Night, 
but still be silly enough and 

513
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:14,520
kind of like OG enough or oh 
golly enough where it kind of 

514
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:17,080
feels like she can play in 
multiple worlds at once. 

515
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:21,080
But she holds this movie 
together to the point where I am

516
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:24,120
excited to rewatch it because I 
think it might be more 

517
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:27,560
interesting on rewatch because 
she is not doing the same 

518
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:29,720
cartoonish thing that Dylan 
O'Brien is doing, which in his 

519
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:31,400
own right. 
I like what Orion is up to in 

520
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,760
this, but I was kind of shocked 
walking out of it being like 

521
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,640
while McAdams is being 
underutilized. 

522
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,840
I mean, so is Dylan O'Brien in 
by Hollywood at large right now,

523
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,240
but especially McAdams at her 
age? 

524
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:45,480
To be doing something like this,
almost 50 years old and playing 

525
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,320
somebody who's like 15 years 
younger and playing in all these

526
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,080
different tones, I was just 
surprised. 

527
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:53,520
You know, I I didn't think about
it like that in terms of she's 

528
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,560
always asked to to have this 
endearing quality. 

529
00:26:56,560 --> 00:27:01,520
Who's she's sweet, she's funny. 
She is someone who feels like a 

530
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:03,760
good hang and you want to like 
keep spending time with on 

531
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:05,640
screen. 
But you're right. 

532
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:09,720
I feel like this movie is maybe 
the most similar to a Regina 

533
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:14,200
George where she's just she's 
just on one like her character. 

534
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:16,640
And you're waiting for her to 
get hit by a bus. 

535
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:20,800
Yeah, like you don't really know
where you are. 

536
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:27,800
She feels like, you know, she is
possibly like being and and I 

537
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:31,280
want to be careful too, because 
like the movie itself, I didn't 

538
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:34,680
love like, so how I'm talking 
about it is I guess in the logic

539
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:38,120
of the movie of her like coming 
off as like manipulative or 

540
00:27:38,120 --> 00:27:42,000
whatever, right. 
But she's able to perform that 

541
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:46,680
so well where it feels like it's
making fun of like a trope 

542
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:50,400
instead of completely falling 
into like a sexist trope or 

543
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:54,480
something. 
But anyway, she yeah, she is 

544
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:58,880
able to to create fear, I think 
in Dylan O'Brien. 

545
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,840
And that is something that is so
Regina George asked that that I 

546
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,080
don't think I've seen in a 
really long time from her 

547
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:06,600
performances. 
So that that's so true. 

548
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,920
I didn't think about it that 
way, but yeah, she's awesome. 

549
00:28:10,120 --> 00:28:12,960
She is kind of like owning the 
scenes. 

550
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:20,160
And I love Dylan O'Brien, just 
kind of like making noises off 

551
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,160
and on screen. 
A lot of reaction shots, yeah, 

552
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:29,680
off screen. 
Or yeah, IA lot of improv I'm 

553
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:33,040
assuming from Dylan O'Brien 
here, but you feel like feels. 

554
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,520
Like he's playing himself 
sometimes when he's making those

555
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:36,960
screaming noises, even though 
he's playing somebody. 

556
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,600
He's very much not like him in 
his interviews in this movie as 

557
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:43,280
a character, but those noises 
feel very specific to him and 

558
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:44,760
his real life. 
Exactly. 

559
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,360
Yeah. 
But you really feel like he is 

560
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:49,480
in the palm of her hand and she 
knows it. 

561
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,880
Yes. 
And and she just like is so, so 

562
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,760
great. 
Yeah, I mean, with McAdams, I've

563
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:57,200
been saying this a lot on 
TikTok. 

564
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:58,440
By the way, we're back on 
TikTok. 

565
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:00,400
Follow us in the description of 
this episode. 

566
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:05,440
But I think McAdams is her 
generations. 

567
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,200
Meg Ryan mixed with Julia 
Roberts, right? 

568
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,800
And she's one of the most 
genuinely reliable genre actors 

569
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,280
we have. 
I'd like to explore more about 

570
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:17,200
like her top 10 performances. 
I did a TikTok on that already. 

571
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:18,920
But like with you. 
It was so fun. 

572
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:23,000
At the end of this episode, or 
maybe in about time later on our

573
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:26,000
Patreon. 
We'll figure it out probably 

574
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:27,320
yeah, we'll figure it out. 
It depends. 

575
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:30,200
I I feel like it's probably best
to do it on about time, but if 

576
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,040
we have. 
Time at the end today. 

577
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:34,320
Yeah, maybe we could just like 
do it really quick at the end 

578
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:35,920
today and then we'll deep dive 
it a little bit more. 

579
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:39,960
We'll debate it on the Patreon. 
OK, Dylan O'Brien, I feel like 

580
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,320
you've recently become a Dylan 
O'Brien truther. 

581
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:46,160
Long term, long time listeners 
know that I have, since the 

582
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:50,840
start of this podcast, have felt
a kinship with Dylan O'Brien. 

583
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:54,880
I've been watching him since, 
obviously the Maze Runner days, 

584
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:59,040
but even before that on his 
television series Teen Wolf. 

585
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:00,440
Is that what it is? 
Yeah, Teen Wolf. 

586
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,040
I definitely saw some of that. 
But I started seeing him a lot 

587
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,520
in the 20 tens in his interviews
and how funny he was. 

588
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:12,960
And just his his like the young 
millennial masculinity where 

589
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:16,480
you're just constantly just 
matching the energy of other 

590
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:21,040
people as to not be threatening.
And the sort of de escalation of

591
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:24,320
his personality is something 
that I really relate to. 

592
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:28,280
And so to see him blow up now in
his mid 30s in this kind of 

593
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:31,520
resurgence of him post Maze 
Runner is fascinating to me 

594
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,360
because I feel like he's always 
been who he is right now. 

595
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,840
But it's interesting to see now 
with Twin List, which we haven't

596
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:39,360
seen yet, but I'm really excited
too. 

597
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:41,800
And now this movie and now 
rumors that he might be starring

598
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,560
in the new X-Men film for 
Marvel, a Cyclops. 

599
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:46,040
There's a lot of rumors with 
that. 

600
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:51,040
The fact that he's like going to
have another renaissance is just

601
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,120
kind of it's kind of shocking to
me. 

602
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,480
It's amazing. 
But it's a little bit surprising

603
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,440
because he's he's moving into 
like he looks like 35 year old 

604
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,280
Dylan O'Brien, but you had him 
when he was hot in 27, like in 

605
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,400
not OK or movies like. 
That yeah, when he was in five 

606
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:07,000
years ago, what what people were
like, I guess reserving for a 

607
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:10,600
younger Glenn Powell in that 
like the specific era. 

608
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:12,520
Yeah, that's. 
I mean that's really 

609
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:15,040
interesting. 
I yeah, hadn't really seen his 

610
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:18,120
like interviews before. 
I mean, you show me like the 

611
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:21,080
funny ones and things of him 
dancing, but I think you're 

612
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,560
right. 
He like captures the the kind of

613
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:31,600
like Zelenio, like younger 
millennial spirit of, of 

614
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:35,480
basically like not growing up 
with cameras on you like all his

615
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:40,080
dancing edits on TikTok. 
You know, like, feel of like a, 

616
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,520
a generation that grew up with 
cell phones but wasn't like 

617
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:44,640
afraid they were going to be 
filmed at every moment and put 

618
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,440
on TikTok. 
And so there's something that 

619
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:51,240
feels free about him that I 
absolutely love. 

620
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:53,080
He's OK to be a little bit 
silly. 

621
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:57,240
Silly, Yeah. 
And yeah, I am in love with him.

622
00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:02,360
So he's one of the the very few 
men that. 

623
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:04,280
He would say that about. 
That I would say that about that

624
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:10,920
I would want to spend time with 
and honestly like that I that I 

625
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:13,360
would maybe date or something 
like. 

626
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,320
One of the. 
Very few men in the world. 

627
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,360
Yeah, OK. 
Hopefully. 

628
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:24,440
I mean, do you not feel the way?
No, no, I'm I'm definitely on 

629
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,440
the like I am team Dylan 
O'Brien, right? 

630
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,840
I, I think it's not an accident 
that the 2 white boys of the 

631
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:34,160
Century and Logan Lehrman and 
Dylan O'Brien are in movies over

632
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:37,640
the past year that are both 
about these two men being tied 

633
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:42,440
up by two beautiful women. 
And in the movie Ohai now in 

634
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:46,280
sent help because people just 
have such a strong connection to

635
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:50,000
the kind of the kindness of 
these two guys in their 

636
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:53,440
personalities and I guess in our
parasocial relationships to 

637
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,480
them. 
Again, that non threatening 

638
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:57,360
masculine vibe. 
I guess they're best friends too

639
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:00,880
in real life, which is cool. 
But you know, I I agree with 

640
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:02,480
you. 
I think the the Dylan O'Brien 

641
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,840
Internet personality is very 
strong. 

642
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,000
And if you're aware of the 
algorithms Kelsey's talking 

643
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,600
about, then then you probably 
love Dylan O'Brien too. 

644
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,920
What I was surprised about in 
this movie is that he has one of

645
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:17,400
the most like distinctively evil
movie movie characters that I 

646
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:21,160
can remember in a long time. 
He's so evil in this film, like 

647
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,080
cartoonishly evil and he knows 
it. 

648
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:26,120
He like explains his whole sad 
white boy sob story at one 

649
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,000
point. 
He's like, I'm accepting it. 

650
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:29,760
My Neppo baby status. 
Right. 

651
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:31,920
And I think it's funny that 
don't O'Brien's doing this to 

652
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:35,520
play against type because he's 
he's like turning into like a 

653
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:37,520
Looney tune short sometimes in 
this movie. 

654
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:40,440
Like there's there's a moment in
this film where he's running 

655
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:43,080
away with a raft that he had 
secretly built off camera for 

656
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:45,120
the whole movie. 
And he's like screaming, 

657
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,480
laughing, laughing. 
Does not work at you. 

658
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:51,560
Lola comes out of absolutely 
nowhere in the movie, but it's 

659
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:54,800
so funny because it is Dylan 
O'Brien. 

660
00:33:55,920 --> 00:34:00,880
Like making a run for it, like 
out of left field poisoning her.

661
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:04,480
Yeah. 
It's just I, I'm glad he's 

662
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:07,160
getting to do this stuff like he
was in Saturday night a few like

663
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:09,840
a year or two ago, like he's 
playing into more comedic roles 

664
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:11,960
now. 
He's been on in interviews. 

665
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:15,719
Rachel McAdams being like my 
favorite movie is like what are 

666
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:17,480
the hot chicks? 
Hot chick. 

667
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:20,040
Yeah, Hot Chick. 
And then also Wedding Crashers. 

668
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:23,960
Like, he grew up with 2000 
studio comedies and, you know, 

669
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,840
obviously those are problematic 
movies, but like, if you did 

670
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:30,480
grow up with those, there's 
something funny to you probably 

671
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:34,679
about stunted adults, especially
like man children. 

672
00:34:34,679 --> 00:34:37,960
That was a huge yeah like, theme
of comedy, right, Growing up 

673
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,880
like stepbrothers. 
Yeah, like the Ron Burgundy 

674
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:42,920
like. 
But it feels like he's entering 

675
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:45,840
an era where he could reclaim 
some like a mold like that in a 

676
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:47,719
non problematic way. 
He could certainly. 

677
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:51,880
I mean there could be like an 
updated Ron Burgundy character. 

678
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:55,120
Which I I think he could do. 
Yeah, I think he could do. 

679
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:57,680
He talked about recently how his
favorite actor is Jim Carrey, 

680
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:00,960
and that really gave me an 
insight into like the way he 

681
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:03,280
sees his performances, which is 
really. 

682
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:06,000
Yeah, it's really interesting. 
You know, we, we should say he 

683
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:09,040
was in Saturday night, but we 
looked it up. 

684
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:12,080
He has never hosted Saturday 
Night Live. 

685
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:13,080
He'd be so good. 
Yeah. 

686
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:14,680
Wow. 
Yeah, I can't believe it. 

687
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:18,560
Yeah, not that, you know, 30 
year old white men in Hollywood 

688
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:21,920
need more, you know, movie roles
or anything like that. 

689
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,320
But some of the clout that 
Timmy's getting I do think has 

690
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:28,640
been like somehow transferred 
like Space Jam style from actors

691
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:31,440
like the Dylan O'Brien mold over
the years, which is interesting.

692
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:33,760
Like Pattinson's probably in 
that in that space too. 

693
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:37,040
Well, I guess maybe the reason I
feel so passionately about Dylan

694
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:40,680
O'Brien is that there are a lot 
of other men who are like, in 

695
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,520
that space that are get a lot 
more attention, like a Jacob 

696
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:48,280
Allordy, like a Austin Butler, 
like Glenn Powell that I have 

697
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:50,960
been on, you know, on the 
podcast, on the record of being 

698
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:52,280
like, stop trying to make this 
happen. 

699
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:56,720
Stop trying to make the Brad 
Pitt, you know, a vacation and 

700
00:35:56,720 --> 00:36:01,880
George Clooney, you know, 
stardom power happen again with 

701
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:04,840
people who are fine like 
whatever. 

702
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:08,360
And, you know, and I just, I 
just enjoy the, the Dylan 

703
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:10,920
O'Brien experience. 
I I honestly just think it's 

704
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:15,160
height like guys, just, you 
know, except a 510 silly queen 

705
00:36:15,240 --> 00:36:17,840
in Dylan O'Brien, he did. 
He doesn't need to be 6 two and 

706
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:18,840
jacked. 
You know what I mean? 

707
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,120
I think that's a big part of it.
But if he was a little bit 

708
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:24,760
bigger, I mean, I guess Shalom 
is as The only exception there. 

709
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:27,880
But I think O'Brien is just 
like, he is a little bit of like

710
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:30,680
that Tom, He's a bigger guy than
Tom Cruise, but he's a little 

711
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:33,720
bit of that Tom Cruise young 
electricity, if that makes 

712
00:36:33,720 --> 00:36:35,000
sense. 
Like it feels like he's popping 

713
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,840
out of your screen sometimes. 
And only Tom Cruise and Denzel 

714
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:40,360
can really do stuff like that. 
And I feel like O'Brien has 

715
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:43,720
moments of that kind of 
scattered throughout his career.

716
00:36:43,720 --> 00:36:45,600
Our our bias is coming through 
'cause I'm saying some big 

717
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:46,800
names. 
Yeah, I mean, he's definitely, I

718
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:48,480
was going to say. 
Yeah, he's not those actors. 

719
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,000
He's not those actors. 
He is not those actors, but 

720
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:54,920
there is, but in his interviews 
is those actors. 

721
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:57,480
Yeah, well, in this, no. 
OK, all right, let's talk. 

722
00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:00,320
Let's talk more about the movie.
OK, So are we. 

723
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:02,720
Going to start at the top. 
Yeah, let's start at the top. 

724
00:37:02,720 --> 00:37:07,040
So Send Help starts in a place 
that is more familiar plot wise.

725
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:11,440
It's like a corporate satire 
comedy about office politics and

726
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:13,160
nepotism. 
I didn't know what I was walking

727
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:15,280
into with this. 
We saw again, like we saw an 

728
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:17,000
early screening. 
I think I'd only seen one 

729
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:21,640
trailer and it played like a 
gore horror fest from Sam Raimi,

730
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:24,240
so I don't know if it's going to
like drag me to Hell. 

731
00:37:24,240 --> 00:37:26,920
I didn't know if it was going to
be like the scariest moments of 

732
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:28,720
like a Spider Man movie. 
I don't know if it's going to be

733
00:37:28,720 --> 00:37:30,240
Evil Dead. 
I wasn't quite sure what to 

734
00:37:30,240 --> 00:37:32,880
expect but I was surprised to 
see like the kind of office 

735
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,240
party vibe. 
Yeah, I certainly, from the 

736
00:37:35,240 --> 00:37:38,720
trailer alone thought we were 
going to have them on an island 

737
00:37:38,720 --> 00:37:41,240
for most of this. 
Yeah, trying to like hunt each 

738
00:37:41,240 --> 00:37:43,840
other essentially. 
Which is the last two acts of 

739
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:46,480
the film? 
The first, the first act is just

740
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:49,240
them in an office or at home 
with Linda. 

741
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:54,000
Linda Little, played by Rachel 
McAdams, great name for the 

742
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:58,120
screenplay, is introduced as a 
kind of strategist for a 

743
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:00,920
financial firm. 
I guess that's where her job is.

744
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:04,880
Yeah, unclear. 
But she is an accountant, sort 

745
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:07,960
of, sort of, well, I think she 
says I'm a, I'm a strategist. 

746
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,160
Meaning OK, so meaning she has 
like the the. 

747
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:11,680
He keeps calling her an 
accountant. 

748
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:13,400
And she's. 
Like fuck off, yeah. 

749
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:18,880
So she she is basically, yeah, 
like mapping out what this 

750
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:20,920
company is going to do major 
player. 

751
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:26,400
She's trying to be an executive.
Yeah, so basically the the whole

752
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:28,880
thing is that Dylan O'Brien's 
father, who I don't think we 

753
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:33,040
really meet, passed away. 
Question mark. 

754
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:36,840
Yeah, OK Died. 
And then he gives the the job 

755
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:39,680
over to Dylan O'Brien and he's 
got a. 

756
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:42,520
Great introduction scene. 
Yeah, which we'll talk about in 

757
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:46,440
a second, But I think we like 
open on it ultimately with her 

758
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:52,960
and she is giving like a report 
right to this guy who is his 

759
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,640
like slicked back hair blonde. 
Like an American. 

760
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:59,600
Psycho yeah exactly yeah goes in
you know The funny thing of like

761
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:02,280
taking off the the post it note 
that says she did the work 

762
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:06,880
taking credit for her her hard 
strategizing. 

763
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:12,080
But you know, the, the, really 
the part of this, this section 

764
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:16,680
of the movie that sticks with me
is like, I didn't love the the 

765
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:20,480
weird kind of like trying to 
make Rachel McAdams ugly and 

766
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:24,680
who's a part of the character. 
I was like, it just felt weird. 

767
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:28,280
Like the the movie again, like 
felt like it was playing into a 

768
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:33,680
lot of like strange tropes about
women and this, I don't know, it

769
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:36,080
just like didn't it felt 
awkward. 

770
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:41,480
The the thing that did stick 
with me was the tuna, tuna fish 

771
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:46,080
sandwich that was shoved into 
not a drawer, OK, was shoved 

772
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:51,320
into like the filing section of 
a cubicle to smash it in there 

773
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:53,640
forever. 
And that has that has stuck with

774
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:54,320
me. 
Yeah. 

775
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,600
It's stuck with me more than 
Rachel McAdams hair being pulled

776
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:01,520
off her head or Dylan O'Brien 
like trap of being bitten into 

777
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:04,000
or. 
Or Dylan O'Brien pushing his 

778
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:06,880
finger into her eyeball. 
Her, Yeah, her whole eye being 

779
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:09,360
closed in. 15 minutes later, her
eye is healed. 

780
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:10,880
Yeah. 
But anyway, that yeah. 

781
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:13,360
To the campiness. 
Of this movie image, really, 

782
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:16,320
you're right, sticks with me. 
The other thing though, like 

783
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:20,880
that does it was funny besides 
all that, 'cause I was like, 

784
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:24,120
like, OK, what is this movie 
going to be? 

785
00:40:24,240 --> 00:40:27,440
The humor is like, fine, but now
it feels a little strange. 

786
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:31,800
Like this, this woman alone. 
Like watching Survivor. 

787
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:34,720
I was like, that seems like a 
great fucking night, OK, Like my

788
00:40:34,720 --> 00:40:35,600
bird. 
The wine with. 

789
00:40:35,720 --> 00:40:41,200
The bird watching survivor. 
But anyway, when she gets the 

790
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:45,760
tuna fish that was on the side 
of her mouth and it's on Dylan 

791
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:48,840
O'Brien's hand, that is a true 
nightmare for me. 

792
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:49,920
Oh, for you. 
Really. 

793
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:52,760
Yeah. 
OK, let's talk about him then 

794
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:54,240
when he was introduced. 
OK. 

795
00:40:54,240 --> 00:40:55,680
Because I get why that's a 
nightmare for you. 

796
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:59,040
But the whole thing is her boss 
promises her a promotion. 

797
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:01,720
As he said, he dies. 
His son Bradley, played by 

798
00:41:01,720 --> 00:41:06,680
O'Brien, takes over full evil 
Jerry Maguire when he walks in. 

799
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:10,560
More evil Kendall Roy energy 
he's giving. 

800
00:41:11,240 --> 00:41:14,400
I thought First off, when the 
camera gets closer and closer to

801
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:16,280
Dylan O'Brien and like, he looks
good. 

802
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:18,400
Like he like, like he looks 
thin. 

803
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:20,880
And the camera kept going, going
closer and closer to his face. 

804
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:24,120
I was like, did they digitally 
remove the bags from his eyes? 

805
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:25,800
Like, why does he look five 
years younger? 

806
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:27,440
Like, I know Dylan O'Brien does 
not look like this. 

807
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:29,920
When we got to the island, he 
looked more like he looks now. 

808
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:32,200
But I was like, what? 
Did you see that too? 

809
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:34,040
Like there was like almost like 
a digital effect over here. 

810
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:36,320
Oh, I didn't realize. 
Maybe I just. 

811
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:38,200
I mean, you spend a lot of time 
watching him, so yeah. 

812
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:43,520
I OK, yeah, I do spend a lot of 
time watching Dylan O'Brien, but

813
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,760
yeah, he just looked beautiful. 
And you immediately were 

814
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:48,680
clocking. 
OK Are we seeing this from 

815
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:50,760
Linda's POV? 
And so there's a little bit of 

816
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:52,960
an unreliable narrator thing 
going on where I'm like, I 

817
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:55,400
wonder if they're going to try 
to make Linda fall in love with 

818
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:58,160
Bradley throughout the movie 
immediately as soon as we see 

819
00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:00,120
him because the way they're 
shooting him is like, the camera

820
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:03,480
is in love with Dylan O'Brien. 
Yeah, And we learned that his 

821
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:08,640
character is like, sexist, 
insecure, while she is like, 

822
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:11,960
deeply competent and prepared. 
She earned her position, whereas

823
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:13,800
he got this job through his 
father. 

824
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:16,640
And he's like, basically 
Bradley's the stunted little man

825
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:18,320
who got dragged to the top by 
his dad. 

826
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:20,760
He's going to bring his boys 
along from his fraternities in 

827
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:23,760
college and give them the 
promotions for executives over 

828
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:29,920
Linda. 
And Yeah, I guess with with 

829
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:33,000
Linda before we go on the plane,
before he kind of like tricks 

830
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:36,160
her to come on or not tricks 
her, but is trying to convince 

831
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:37,560
her to not leave. 
Right. 

832
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:40,800
There's that like section that 
has to be taken care of and and 

833
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:43,720
he kind of like in that scene 
where she comes in, which I 

834
00:42:43,720 --> 00:42:45,920
actually thought was a pretty 
good scene and saved the first 

835
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:48,000
part of the movie when she kind 
of barges into his. 

836
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:50,040
I was very worried. 
Yeah, I was like, oh, no. 

837
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:52,800
But I think that scene kind of 
saved it for me when they are 

838
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:55,360
first talking and she's like, 
here's what I like. 

839
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:59,560
Deserve whatever he says. 
You know, you can prove yourself

840
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:01,240
itself and maybe I'll give you a
shot. 

841
00:43:01,240 --> 00:43:02,880
You can. 
I want you on this like plane. 

842
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:05,760
But really, we know he's like 
manipulating her to get this 

843
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:11,400
difficult piece of this report 
done so that can save his ass. 

844
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:14,200
And then he's going to ship her 
off somewhere else. 

845
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:18,880
So that way the tuna sandwich 
isn't the smell, isn't in the 

846
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:21,040
office. 
But I, yeah, I I really like 

847
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:23,280
that scene when he's like 
golfing, whatever. 

848
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:26,840
And I like that we, you know, 
just skip ahead to plane crash. 

849
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:29,560
Like we, we just get into it. 
I I will say, just to give 

850
00:43:29,720 --> 00:43:31,960
McAdams for credit here, even 
though they do try to like 

851
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:35,320
thinner hair make and like give 
her, you know, bags on bags on 

852
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:38,560
her eyes or give her more 
wrinkles or whatever and, and 

853
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:40,640
kind of make her look a little 
frail. 

854
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:44,760
She's doing a good job of it 
reminds me of the performance 

855
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:46,800
from Michelle Pfeiffer and 
Batman Returns. 

856
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:50,240
It's actually this movie reminds
me a lot of a Tim Burton like 

857
00:43:50,240 --> 00:43:53,440
Batman Returns kind of energy 
where you have a stunted man 

858
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:57,560
Batman or Bradley in this case, 
and you have a Michelle Pfeiffer

859
00:43:57,560 --> 00:44:02,120
as Selena Kyle, who is this like
underutilized woman in the 

860
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:05,600
workplace who the sexual 
politics of that workplace seem 

861
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:08,480
a little complicated and also is
then pushed out of a window by 

862
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:12,440
her boss and Batman Returns. 
And so there is a sort, I, I 

863
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:14,160
feel like there is a there's a 
connection there. 

864
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:16,840
I I saw a lot of misery, but 
also maybe just some Stephen 

865
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:19,240
King influences. 
And so she's doing a good job of

866
00:44:19,240 --> 00:44:22,240
like balancing a lot of 
performances that of the genre 

867
00:44:22,240 --> 00:44:24,040
that I think audiences are 
familiar with. 

868
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:28,160
So even though they they do some
stuff with her looks, I was like

869
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:29,840
happy with what she was up to in
the first act. 

870
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:32,600
But the movie really starts to 
take off when the airplane 

871
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:34,200
sequence happens. 
How did you feel about this 

872
00:44:34,240 --> 00:44:36,800
airplane sequence? 
It's how I feel about a lot of 

873
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:40,560
Sam Raimi films, Like, like 
practical and digital effects 

874
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:43,720
are sometimes volatile and 
inconsistent. 

875
00:44:43,720 --> 00:44:46,320
And so it creates this, what 
some people might identify as, 

876
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:48,280
like bad effects. 
For me, it creates this like, 

877
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:53,840
intentional, disorienting, 
unsettling vibe and creates 

878
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:55,440
this, like, kind of chaotic 
energy. 

879
00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:58,800
And so with the plane and the 
guy with the forks and the fork 

880
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:01,600
going into his, oh, yeah. 
Was it his eye or his nose? 

881
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:05,160
I forget how she stabs him to 
get him off, get him off her. 

882
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:07,640
I, oh, I forget where he's 
getting sucked out of this train

883
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:10,840
and he's like, his head is 
hitting the window and it's 

884
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:12,840
played a comedic effect and our 
theater was laughing. 

885
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:15,520
The best part of it, Like, yeah.
I liked all that. 

886
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:18,240
Number one, so OK, so I guess 
the, the plain scene, you're 

887
00:45:18,240 --> 00:45:20,600
right. 
Like I agree, although I, I 

888
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:24,160
think you're more attuned to 
like Sam Raimi's style. 

889
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:28,480
But yeah, like I, I felt like 
the special effects were kind of

890
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:30,000
shitty, but I was like, you know
what? 

891
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:32,680
It's fine. 
Like let's embrace what this 

892
00:45:32,720 --> 00:45:36,680
movie is, but I I think also 
think like the IT added to the 

893
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:41,400
camp of it where him getting, 
you know, held up by his tie and

894
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:45,680
then like hit against the window
and him like crawling like onto 

895
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:47,080
her being like give me your 
seat. 

896
00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:50,920
Like the the kind of cartoonish 
entitlement of like a character 

897
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:54,640
like that was was funny. 
But I will say that, you know, 

898
00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:57,400
I, I wasn't sure like where I 
stood in terms of the 

899
00:45:57,400 --> 00:45:59,040
characters. 
I felt like it was kind of 

900
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:01,640
strange just entering into this 
world. 

901
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:07,720
But the minute they threw on 
Rachel McAdams survival audition

902
00:46:07,720 --> 00:46:11,200
I was on her side. 
I was like fuck them. 

903
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:14,640
I was like how dare they. 
I agree she should be on 

904
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:18,120
survivor #1 she's done all the 
work she has all her her 

905
00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:21,760
highlighted tabbed books on the 
shelf watching Survivor putting 

906
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:26,080
the hours in every night. 
But also I just I was like oh I 

907
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:28,760
hate them for that. 
Even though it was like 

908
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:31,960
obviously cheesy, like Dylan 
O'Brien literally looking back 

909
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:36,400
going ha ha ha ha like looking 
making icon with her. 

910
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:41,240
He does such a good fucking 
shit, he'll laugh. 

911
00:46:41,240 --> 00:46:44,360
Yeah, so. 
You can tell he's just been in 

912
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:46,320
the room with the most annoying 
rich people. 

913
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:49,440
He's just been copying the most 
annoying rich people. 

914
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:52,400
He's been waiting for this role.
You know, this role reminded me 

915
00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:53,560
of because of what you're 
saying. 

916
00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:56,880
He like does the self aware rich
thing where he's like making fun

917
00:46:56,880 --> 00:47:01,040
of rich people or the the 
wealthy laugh kind of he reminds

918
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:03,360
me of like a Roman Roy in 
succession and you like said 

919
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:07,360
more so Kendall, but I I felt 
like it was a Roman Roy of like 

920
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:09,440
him being like haha. 
I was thinking of like Mike 

921
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:13,880
Myers, like Austin Powers. 
I was thinking of like Nicolas 

922
00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:19,440
Cage, his most absurd or yeah, I
don't know, just like some guy, 

923
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:22,120
some actors who can be like 
electric but seem to have lost 

924
00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:25,480
their shit in movies before, 
like an Alec Baldwin, you know 

925
00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:26,600
what I mean? 
Like, yeah. 

926
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:29,240
Anyways, just a very strange 
energy. 

927
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:32,080
He's he's coming out with. 
Yeah, with the survivor thing. 

928
00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:34,440
I think that pissed me off. 
And I was like, I'm on Linda 

929
00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:36,680
side until she starts really 
losing it halfway through the 

930
00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:38,600
movie and I'm like, OK, I'm on 
no one's side here. 

931
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:41,200
And this has become more fun 
that it's not formulaic and 

932
00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:45,320
you're like this this like 
oppressed, you know, invisible 

933
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:48,640
class of woman in the workplace 
is like coming back to kill her,

934
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:51,320
her misogynistic boss. 
I was like, OK, I've seen this 

935
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:52,440
before. 
I'm still going to have fun with

936
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:54,120
it because it's Rachel McAdams 
and Dylan O'Brien. 

937
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:56,680
But then you're almost there's a
point in this movie. 

938
00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:59,080
I'm not sure where it happened. 
So I'll be curious to break down

939
00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:01,320
the plot with you because I 
wanted like spot where it 

940
00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:04,360
happens, where you sort of start
going on Dylan O'Brien's 

941
00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:07,480
character side where you're 
like, OK, this has gone too far.

942
00:48:07,720 --> 00:48:11,680
And I think it's as soon as we 
learn that she kills the Beyoncé

943
00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:15,040
and we're like, now I'm weirdly 
siding with Bradley. 

944
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:16,800
I don't think she kills him. 
That's you. 

945
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:19,800
Don't think she kills the wife. 
Oh. 

946
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:23,400
The fiance. 
Oh, her husband, I was saying 

947
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:24,320
you. 
Think she left him on the 

948
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:25,800
island? 
What? 

949
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:27,920
No. 
No, no, sorry. 

950
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:31,800
I thought you were talking about
the fire scene when she says 

951
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:35,040
like, I gave my husband who 
abused me like the keys. 

952
00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:37,320
Oh, no, OK. 
I was like, I don't know. 

953
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:40,040
I don't know if she killed him 
because that's that's basically 

954
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:42,480
what the movie. 
And then like Dylan O'Brien 

955
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:46,000
implies that he thinks like, Oh 
my God, she's a murderer. 

956
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:49,080
So then it it like flips us to 
be like, should we be suspicious

957
00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:51,400
of her? 
But then you're like still not 

958
00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:53,920
because you're, you know, still 
on her side. 

959
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:57,920
But yes, certainly the fiance 
thing is where you're like, oh, 

960
00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:01,000
like there, there is that moment
where she's like, I need to stay

961
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:04,600
here a little bit longer when 
she sees the first boat right in

962
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:09,120
that like alcove or whatever 
that part is called of an 

963
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:11,720
island. 
But she is, she sees the boat 

964
00:49:11,720 --> 00:49:13,720
and she's like, I need to stay 
here a little bit longer. 

965
00:49:13,720 --> 00:49:15,880
And you know what, I get it. 
You want to go back to 

966
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:17,120
capitalism. 
So I was. 

967
00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:19,920
Going to ask you that is that is
this movie playing with the idea

968
00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:22,640
that America's obsession with 
Survivor is that Survivor has 

969
00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:26,000
become a symbol of like 
capitalist anxiety in the 21st 

970
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:28,960
century, where Americans have a 
fantasy of wanting so badly to 

971
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:31,400
get out of their nine to five 
that they would rather be on a 

972
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:34,680
deserted island with their worst
enemy than go back to their desk

973
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:37,240
job? 
Is that the pieces of the film? 

974
00:49:37,240 --> 00:49:40,200
I think. 
So I think so. 

975
00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:41,840
That's a. 
Great, That's a great pitch. 

976
00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:45,040
It's an interesting screenplay. 
But then it gets a little bit 

977
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:46,280
sidetracked. 
Yeah, it does. 

978
00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:48,600
It's killing the fiance where 
I'm like, whoa. 

979
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:51,400
I do think I did not know she 
didn't need that. 

980
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:53,120
I think it would have been 
actually more interesting if 

981
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:55,920
they would have kept her like 
quote UN quote, morally pure, 

982
00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:59,040
and they could have just still 
played with that, that shifting 

983
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:01,320
of allegiances with the 
audience, like who they 

984
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:04,440
connected with most especially 
after that drunk sequence. 

985
00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:08,360
Yeah, also then it could be like
she is then the whole that that 

986
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:11,560
kind of like message of of the 
movie that's under lying that we

987
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:13,680
were just talking about. 
She could be like, I'm not going

988
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:14,440
back. 
Yeah, yeah. 

989
00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:16,800
You know, like that would be 
more interesting and funny. 

990
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:20,480
Neither are you. 
Yeah, in an exaggerated way 

991
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:24,360
where he doesn't have to be 
like, you know, I am hunting my 

992
00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:29,440
boss who sucks. 
Yeah, it could just be like, I 

993
00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:32,720
am not participating in this 
system anymore and you're a part

994
00:50:32,720 --> 00:50:34,400
of it, you know? 
There's a moment in the movie 

995
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:37,120
going back to her looks and the 
way they play with Rachel 

996
00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:40,560
McAdams and her just like her 
organic beauty because she still

997
00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:43,040
looks like Rachel McAdams as 
opposed to a lot of you know. 

998
00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:44,560
I mean, did we see that 
waterfall scene? 

999
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:45,680
OK. 
That's what I mean is the 

1000
00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:48,360
waterfall scene is where Rick 
McAdams looks at her own 

1001
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:50,840
reflection and she falls in love
with herself again. 

1002
00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:53,560
And then the camera pans up to 
her and she looks completely 

1003
00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:55,280
different than she's looked for 
the rest of the movie. 

1004
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:57,400
And she looks like the Rachel 
McAdams that you're sort of 

1005
00:50:57,400 --> 00:50:59,400
familiar with over the last 25 
years. 

1006
00:50:59,960 --> 00:51:03,320
And it's supposed to play as 
like, this is like a radiant 

1007
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:06,120
looking new Linda. 
But it's also campy because 

1008
00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:07,560
that's not how she's looked at 
all. 

1009
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:10,560
But I just, yeah, I think that 
that's all the movie needed to 

1010
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:12,240
do. 
But it does hard pivot, 

1011
00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:15,120
obviously, into the nonsense, 
which is, you know, it's same 

1012
00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:16,280
Remy. 
So he still makes it fun. 

1013
00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:23,760
OK, so when it comes to the the 
story, as the plane crashes and 

1014
00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:27,440
Bradley washes up on a desert, 
she discovers him, his legs all 

1015
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:29,960
fucked up. 
And it goes from corporate 

1016
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:33,880
satire to the survival horror 
comedy that's absurd. 

1017
00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:37,240
And it gets a little bit more 
Looney Tunes with the aesthetic 

1018
00:51:37,240 --> 00:51:40,640
as she fights a bore and there's
buckets of blood everywhere. 

1019
00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:43,600
I was, I was. 
There were so many times in this

1020
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:45,000
movie. 
I feel like I was getting 

1021
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:47,520
whiplash in this movie of like I
didn't go in with like high 

1022
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:51,440
expectations or anything, but I 
was like OK, is this movie good?

1023
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:54,160
OK, I'm back in this movie. 
Weird. 

1024
00:51:54,240 --> 00:51:58,320
Like why is she fighting a bore 
back in I? 

1025
00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:00,480
Accepted it. 
I accepted it for what it was. 

1026
00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:03,120
I think this might rub people 
the wrong way who loved the 

1027
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:04,400
movie. 
I think this might be the best 

1028
00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:07,720
three star movie I've seen in a 
long time to use letterbox lingo

1029
00:52:07,720 --> 00:52:09,400
here. 
I feel that way too. 

1030
00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:12,640
And I just mean that in a way 
that where it's like really fun,

1031
00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:14,640
entertaining. 
I'm glad that we all get to 

1032
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:17,720
appreciate this in theaters. 
My only problem is the reason we

1033
00:52:17,720 --> 00:52:20,280
don't get more of these is 
because apparently the budget 

1034
00:52:20,280 --> 00:52:23,080
tells me that this movie cost 
$40 million and there's no 

1035
00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:25,600
fucking right that this movie 
should cost $40 million. 

1036
00:52:25,720 --> 00:52:27,720
And it might be a reason why we 
don't get these kind of movies 

1037
00:52:27,720 --> 00:52:29,680
anymore. 
Like I understand inflation, but

1038
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:32,280
that's insane. 
Like there's no way that this 

1039
00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:33,720
looking at this movie that it 
should. 

1040
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:36,280
The island is fake. 
Like we don't we're they're not 

1041
00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:38,480
on, you know what I mean? 
They're on location. 

1042
00:52:38,720 --> 00:52:41,000
So I, I don't understand how 
that happens. 

1043
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:42,800
And I'm not saying save the 
studios money. 

1044
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:44,880
I'm just saying if we want more 
of these, they got to cost like 

1045
00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:47,160
15 to 20 a pop in order to make 
a profit. 

1046
00:52:47,160 --> 00:52:49,760
Because I'm not sure this is 
going to be a $40 million 

1047
00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:53,600
success, but maybe hopefully. 
Should we just hit the like 

1048
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:54,320
Major? 
Scene. 

1049
00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:57,840
Yeah, I'm sorry. 
So, so basically right, she she 

1050
00:52:57,840 --> 00:53:00,880
finds him leg is bloody. 
The the leg looks good. 

1051
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:05,160
I'll say the bloody leg looks 
good and he's passed out, drags 

1052
00:53:05,160 --> 00:53:07,760
him up right, builds a little 
like shelter over him. 

1053
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:10,560
I love that she's like, let's 
get started. 

1054
00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:12,960
You know what I mean? 
She she gets the leaf. 

1055
00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:16,720
We see her making all these 
like, which honestly, I will use

1056
00:53:16,720 --> 00:53:20,360
these things if I'm ever in this
situation, but the like puts 

1057
00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:24,280
coconuts, you know, hollowed 
out, digs them in this. 

1058
00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:26,080
Situation. 
Yes, I'm going to use some of 

1059
00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:29,160
her tactics and, you know, take 
some leaves to she knows it's 

1060
00:53:29,160 --> 00:53:32,920
going to rain soon to like 
gather the the drinking water, 

1061
00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:37,880
create shade and and then Dylan 
O'Brien wakes up and he's doing 

1062
00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:41,240
his like boss shit, right. 
He like, still thinks we're in 

1063
00:53:41,240 --> 00:53:44,160
the office and. 
Well, where does the survivalism

1064
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:47,800
begin? 
And then the shenanigans start. 

1065
00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:49,520
Or like, when does the 
survivalism end and the 

1066
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:50,880
shenanigans start? 
Does that make sense? 

1067
00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:53,880
Like, when does she discover? 
Like, when did she stop getting 

1068
00:53:53,880 --> 00:53:55,880
water from those coconuts? 
So she starts getting water 

1069
00:53:55,880 --> 00:53:58,920
from, you know, whatever rich 
water that rich people have. 

1070
00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:00,840
Oh, I see. 
Does that make sense? 

1071
00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:01,920
Like when she comes with a fish?
Yeah. 

1072
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:03,600
When did she first? 
I was like, how did she kill 

1073
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:05,120
that fish? 
Like that's pretty impressive. 

1074
00:54:05,240 --> 00:54:08,200
Say like, I'm going to go 
explore because she oh, you're 

1075
00:54:08,200 --> 00:54:11,040
right, she kills the boar. 
Right, so she does do that. 

1076
00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:14,280
She does do that when is seeing.
That yeah, 'cause I was like, 

1077
00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:15,800
you know what? 
Sorry, Linda, we're doubting 

1078
00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:16,440
you. 
Sorry, Linda. 

1079
00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:18,680
I apologize but. 
Also, I was like for a second I 

1080
00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:20,360
was like, wait, did she get that
meat from the house? 

1081
00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:25,600
But no, we saw her kill a boar. 
So, OK, so I probably after that

1082
00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:28,200
because like once we get once we
start getting introduced to like

1083
00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:32,280
the sushi spreads, they're like,
how is she doing this? 

1084
00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:35,000
I guess they tell us at the end,
the first time she sees a boat 

1085
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:36,600
and she turns around. 
She doesn't turn around. 

1086
00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:39,760
She sees the. 
Right, Mansion, yes, right. 

1087
00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:44,280
Yeah, like we're we're, you 
know, not included in the 

1088
00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:46,120
reality of the the movie at that
point. 

1089
00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:49,800
Yeah, 'cause the movie The the 
mansion is just like a a small 

1090
00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:51,160
pivot to the right. 
All right, sorry. 

1091
00:54:51,160 --> 00:54:52,960
So yeah, Dylan O'Brien still 
bossing her around. 

1092
00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:55,120
Still bossing her around and 
she's like, oh, no, no, no, like

1093
00:54:55,120 --> 00:55:01,120
we're not in the office anymore.
And he he kind of like doesn't 

1094
00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:06,000
really understand what is 
happening in terms of what she 

1095
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:10,120
is doing to keep him alive. 
But there's two things going on 

1096
00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:13,000
here, right? 
One is the, the workplace, like 

1097
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:17,000
hierarchy drama. 
And two, he's like, shouldn't we

1098
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:19,560
like be putting out SOS signals?
Right. 

1099
00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:22,040
So you're sort of on his side, 
but also he's a piece of shit. 

1100
00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:24,040
So you're like, stop talking to 
Linda like that. 

1101
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:27,480
But also, yeah, Linda, it's 
weird that we're not doing SOS. 

1102
00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:31,440
Why aren't we doing rafts? 
I think that actually that part 

1103
00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:35,200
of the movie is like, really 
what keeps you guessing because 

1104
00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:37,200
you're. 
Yeah, I I think like from the 

1105
00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:39,800
Survivor video on, I'm on 
Linda's side. 

1106
00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:42,040
I understand why she doesn't 
want to go back, even though 

1107
00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:45,120
it's a little like questionable 
for the character of like, OK, 

1108
00:55:45,160 --> 00:55:46,680
you want to stay on this 
deserted island. 

1109
00:55:46,680 --> 00:55:49,320
But hey, I get it. 
Like, you don't want to just go 

1110
00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:51,360
back to sit in a cubicle for the
rest of your life. 

1111
00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:52,720
Like, you want a little 
vacation. 

1112
00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:56,120
Hey, it's paid, I'm assuming on 
the company's dime, right? 

1113
00:55:56,200 --> 00:56:00,840
They earned a plane wreck. 
And so I like I thought that was

1114
00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:03,920
all funny, but like you start to
get skeptical of her character a

1115
00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:06,520
little bit at in terms of just 
like wanting to stay on the 

1116
00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:10,240
island. 
But when it's the the hilarious 

1117
00:56:10,240 --> 00:56:13,120
thing though, is when he says 
that you're like shut up, Dylan 

1118
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:16,560
like SOS thing. 
She's like taking care of you. 

1119
00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:20,560
She's like making sushi and 
she's grateful. 

1120
00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:21,520
Yeah. 
And so the. 

1121
00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:24,160
And it's funny the way they're 
shooting him too, because it's 

1122
00:56:24,160 --> 00:56:27,040
all like him being powerless on 
the ground, just like at his 

1123
00:56:27,040 --> 00:56:29,880
mouth open, like hoping for her 
to like throw some water in his 

1124
00:56:29,880 --> 00:56:31,960
face. 
And he's doing a great like, 

1125
00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:35,280
just like like praying that like
this goddess will help him. 

1126
00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:39,360
And he's and he also has like 
this resentment, like every time

1127
00:56:39,360 --> 00:56:41,320
she gives him something, she 
walks away. 

1128
00:56:41,320 --> 00:56:44,240
He does like this side eye at 
her where he's just like like 

1129
00:56:44,240 --> 00:56:47,960
this fucking asshole. 
Like he perfectly captures that 

1130
00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:50,320
sort of inversion of power that 
makes him uncomfortable. 

1131
00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:52,080
Yeah. 
And then I, I start to get a 

1132
00:56:52,080 --> 00:56:54,640
little worried in the movie when
I'm like, she has this whole 

1133
00:56:54,640 --> 00:56:58,600
shelter built, which is like 
amazing starts like weaving hats

1134
00:56:58,600 --> 00:57:03,440
and shit to like and a purse. 
Like she's like making all these

1135
00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:05,560
things and they get in this 
fight right? 

1136
00:57:05,560 --> 00:57:07,440
Because because of what we're 
just talking about in terms of 

1137
00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:10,480
like her being like, I'm, you 
know, you're not my boss. 

1138
00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:13,360
Like, I think you should like, 
probably realign yourself with 

1139
00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:15,520
what's happening here and like, 
be grateful. 

1140
00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:20,000
And he goes out on his own, eats
a bug that got a huge reaction 

1141
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:22,760
from our our theater. 
I didn't like that either. 

1142
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:24,680
Yeah. 
I mean, it was very fear factor 

1143
00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:28,960
to to be in line with the kind 
of survivor televised things. 

1144
00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:31,760
Yeah, but. 
Linda Brown, great facial 

1145
00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:34,840
reactions in this movie, like 
that moment, the moment where he

1146
00:57:34,840 --> 00:57:38,600
finds that his wife is dead or 
his fiance and he cries for like

1147
00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:41,200
a 15 seconds too long. 
And it then becomes kind of 

1148
00:57:41,200 --> 00:57:44,040
funny and serious. 
Like it's a hard thing he's 

1149
00:57:44,040 --> 00:57:45,560
being asked to do in this movie.
Yeah. 

1150
00:57:45,680 --> 00:57:48,600
Which is like limp and then only
react to things for like 2 

1151
00:57:48,600 --> 00:57:49,600
hours. 
Exactly. 

1152
00:57:49,680 --> 00:57:52,880
But then we we end up getting to
the the fire sequence where 

1153
00:57:52,880 --> 00:57:55,160
she's like, want to get drunk? 
I like, made toilet wine or 

1154
00:57:55,160 --> 00:57:59,360
whatever. 
And they're around the the fire.

1155
00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:02,720
So many tonal shifts in this 
movie where he's like, yeah, 

1156
00:58:02,720 --> 00:58:05,080
like, my parents hated me and I 
hated them. 

1157
00:58:05,560 --> 00:58:08,080
And you're like, I guess I feel 
bad for you, but not really 

1158
00:58:08,080 --> 00:58:09,960
because you're, like, rich and 
you're going to go back to being

1159
00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:12,680
rich. 
So yeah, you know, we only have 

1160
00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:15,840
so much sympathy. 
Well, it's more like, it's more 

1161
00:58:15,840 --> 00:58:17,960
like she's like, here's this 
domestic abuse that I went 

1162
00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:21,520
through, right? 
And then he goes, yeah, he goes,

1163
00:58:21,520 --> 00:58:24,240
yeah, I can totally relate. 
My mom was mean and my dad 

1164
00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:28,440
wasn't home and you're like, all
right, so. 

1165
00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:30,120
But they have good chemistry in 
that moment. 

1166
00:58:30,120 --> 00:58:31,920
So it is a little bit confusing.
You're like, are you? 

1167
00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:34,520
Yeah, exactly. 
That's why I like the tone in 

1168
00:58:34,520 --> 00:58:36,520
this movie is so strange 
throughout and. 

1169
00:58:36,600 --> 00:58:38,520
I was like, wait, are Dylan 
O'Brien, Rachel McAdams going to

1170
00:58:38,520 --> 00:58:40,680
have sex in the Yeah, I was. 
Like, what's happening? 

1171
00:58:40,680 --> 00:58:44,080
So then but then also when she 
says, like, you know, I ended up

1172
00:58:44,080 --> 00:58:47,800
giving my husband the keys. 
I thought in terms of the movie 

1173
00:58:47,800 --> 00:58:50,800
language, even though I wasn't 
on the page, I thought that they

1174
00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:53,280
were trying to make the audience
be like, Oh my God, she killed 

1175
00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:55,560
her husband, which is like, not,
you know what I mean? 

1176
00:58:55,560 --> 00:58:59,440
And then also Dylan O'Brien 
being like suspicious of her 

1177
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:04,120
when in reality I was like, OK, 
I'm like still like kind of like

1178
00:59:04,120 --> 00:59:10,120
on Linda's side. 
But yeah, I guess when when we 

1179
00:59:10,120 --> 00:59:14,400
get the the sequence of her 
shouldn't kill his fiance at 

1180
00:59:14,400 --> 00:59:16,800
this point. 
But basically Dylan's like, oh, 

1181
00:59:16,960 --> 00:59:19,960
there's a huge like rainstorm. 
It like flushes out their camp, 

1182
00:59:19,960 --> 00:59:21,400
right. 
Well, this is still they're in 

1183
00:59:21,400 --> 00:59:23,640
The Cave. 
So this is where I was like, oh,

1184
00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:24,320
a. 
Romance. 

1185
00:59:24,760 --> 00:59:27,200
Is going to happen. 
So, like, this is a subplot. 

1186
00:59:27,200 --> 00:59:30,440
The next morning after they get 
drunk, she wakes up hungover, 

1187
00:59:30,640 --> 00:59:31,960
right? 
And they keep alluding to how 

1188
00:59:31,960 --> 00:59:34,520
she has a knife on her side and 
so that she's trying to keep 

1189
00:59:34,520 --> 00:59:36,480
that knife. 
And so I think you're thinking, 

1190
00:59:36,480 --> 00:59:38,160
oh, we stole the knife. 
She he ran away. 

1191
00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:40,280
She gets up. 
He's just washing himself. 

1192
00:59:40,280 --> 00:59:43,800
We see Dylan O'Brien's ass on 
screen and he's doing kettle 

1193
00:59:43,800 --> 00:59:44,600
bells. 
Good job. 

1194
00:59:44,800 --> 00:59:46,720
Or, or is that stare stepper? 
You tell me. 

1195
00:59:46,800 --> 00:59:49,640
He's that stare stepper. 
Is he Oh, you're saying off 

1196
00:59:49,640 --> 00:59:51,120
screen I was like, what's he 
doing? 

1197
00:59:51,400 --> 00:59:53,920
I thought you meant he like. 
No, I'm saying Dylan O'Brien's 

1198
00:59:53,920 --> 00:59:55,480
the person. 
I was like, he looks good. 

1199
00:59:56,600 --> 00:59:59,680
Yeah, I don't know. 
I honestly the butt wasn't 

1200
00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:03,280
memorable to me. 
OK, after a year of talking, 

1201
01:00:03,400 --> 01:00:05,080
like after the past few months 
we're talking about Timothy 

1202
01:00:05,080 --> 01:00:07,000
Chalamet's ass and Marty 
Supreme, I feel like Dylan. 

1203
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:09,080
I wasn't like saying. 
He deserves his five seconds of 

1204
01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:10,960
thing. 
Yeah, great shape, but sure. 

1205
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:14,120
Yeah, Dylan, you know, keep 
doing that stair stepper. 

1206
01:00:14,440 --> 01:00:19,520
I see you trying to do the stair
stepper frequently myself. 

1207
01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:22,800
Let's go. 
And so he, she's like, OK, they 

1208
01:00:22,800 --> 01:00:24,760
can work with this. 
And then they go to The Cave and

1209
01:00:24,760 --> 01:00:26,800
they have a Hunger Games moment 
where they sort of like, cuddle 

1210
01:00:26,800 --> 01:00:29,080
up. 
Yeah, Pita, pita situation. 

1211
01:00:29,320 --> 01:00:31,560
And you're like, wait a second, 
who's Pita in the situation? 

1212
01:00:31,720 --> 01:00:34,640
Who's being tricked? 
Like, who's Katniss? 

1213
01:00:34,680 --> 01:00:35,840
Yeah. 
And then? 

1214
01:00:35,960 --> 01:00:38,800
The the knife, she still has a 
knife when she grabs for it, 

1215
01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:40,920
right? 
And this is like what we didn't 

1216
01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:43,640
know at the time, but he's 
building the raft while she is 

1217
01:00:43,640 --> 01:00:46,120
sleeping. 
Which is amazing. 

1218
01:00:47,040 --> 01:00:50,400
Which I, I feel like at that. 
So then he also is like, hey, 

1219
01:00:50,400 --> 01:00:51,920
you know what, like I 
understand. 

1220
01:00:51,920 --> 01:00:53,720
Let's stay on the island to her 
right. 

1221
01:00:54,320 --> 01:00:56,800
And and he's like, let me make 
you dinner for once. 

1222
01:00:57,280 --> 01:00:59,720
And she agrees. 
And and again, there's like this

1223
01:00:59,720 --> 01:01:04,080
like budding romance kind of 
feel and but you're still kind 

1224
01:01:04,080 --> 01:01:06,240
of what's happening. 
And by the way, you're only, 

1225
01:01:06,600 --> 01:01:09,280
you're only questioning because 
Dylan's great, but you're only 

1226
01:01:09,280 --> 01:01:12,640
questioning because Rachel 
McAdams is so committed to the 

1227
01:01:12,640 --> 01:01:15,000
absurdity of any screenplay that
she's given. 

1228
01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:17,160
There's a there was a great 
side. 

1229
01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:19,920
There was a great interview with
Sam Raimi about why he cast 

1230
01:01:19,920 --> 01:01:22,240
Rachel McAdams in this movie. 
And he said in Doctor Strange 

1231
01:01:22,240 --> 01:01:24,760
Multiverse of Madness, which he 
directed the 2nd Doctor Strange 

1232
01:01:24,760 --> 01:01:28,440
movie, she has a bigger part in 
that film opposite Benedict 

1233
01:01:28,440 --> 01:01:31,320
Cumberbatch and she has to fight
a ghost at one point at the end 

1234
01:01:31,320 --> 01:01:32,840
of that movie. 
And he was like, did. 

1235
01:01:32,840 --> 01:01:34,760
We see that. 
Movie we did, yeah. 

1236
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:36,720
I think it's all you need to 
know about Doctor Strange. 

1237
01:01:36,720 --> 01:01:37,960
Multiverse madness. 
That you'd ask. 

1238
01:01:37,960 --> 01:01:40,080
That yeah, it's very sad that 
she has such a forgettable role.

1239
01:01:40,080 --> 01:01:41,640
In that well, actually might 
have been the last good Marvel 

1240
01:01:41,640 --> 01:01:45,360
movie that I've seen. 
But so she what was I saying? 

1241
01:01:45,360 --> 01:01:47,560
OK, so so he was like, hey, 
you're going to fight a ghost 

1242
01:01:47,560 --> 01:01:49,880
like a demon ghost is going to 
jump on you in this movie. 

1243
01:01:50,160 --> 01:01:52,920
And he was like, I was expecting
her to go OK, like this is 

1244
01:01:52,920 --> 01:01:54,680
Rachel McAdams. 
Like she's not really in it in 

1245
01:01:54,680 --> 01:01:58,160
these movies for this probably 
meaning for money just to play 

1246
01:01:58,160 --> 01:02:00,480
like a that non superhero 
character is like a nurse, a 

1247
01:02:00,480 --> 01:02:01,680
doctor. 
She's like one of the most 

1248
01:02:01,680 --> 01:02:04,680
underwritten leads or superstars
of the MCU. 

1249
01:02:04,720 --> 01:02:07,280
Yeah. 
And she goes, well, OK, how much

1250
01:02:07,280 --> 01:02:09,440
does a ghost weigh? 
And is it going to be in that 

1251
01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:12,080
corner is going to be over here?
And he was like, immediately. 

1252
01:02:12,200 --> 01:02:15,000
Yeah, he's like, immediately she
was thinking about the physics 

1253
01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:18,160
of the scene because she just is
so immersed into any absurdity 

1254
01:02:18,160 --> 01:02:19,480
of any screenplay that she's 
given. 

1255
01:02:19,480 --> 01:02:22,680
He thinks that's like an under, 
you know, sung talent of her as 

1256
01:02:22,680 --> 01:02:24,440
an actor that you can play in 
any genre. 

1257
01:02:24,640 --> 01:02:26,800
Anyways, I'm just saying all 
this because the only reason you

1258
01:02:26,800 --> 01:02:30,560
believe that Linda believes that
she can fall in love with 

1259
01:02:31,040 --> 01:02:33,400
Bradley or be in love with him 
is because of McAdams. 

1260
01:02:34,040 --> 01:02:36,560
That's fair, yeah. 
And I and I think in that 

1261
01:02:36,560 --> 01:02:41,040
moment, though, I also sort of 
believe Dylan O'Brien. 

1262
01:02:41,040 --> 01:02:42,680
So the. 
Interesting. 

1263
01:02:42,680 --> 01:02:45,480
The poisoning. 
I turned to you and I was like, 

1264
01:02:45,600 --> 01:02:49,320
it's the berries from earlier. 
The poisoning, yeah, that he he 

1265
01:02:49,320 --> 01:02:53,320
finds on the berries where she 
makes him hike up, hike up this 

1266
01:02:53,320 --> 01:02:58,880
like mountain with a an injury. 
But but yeah, so like that, that

1267
01:02:58,880 --> 01:03:01,200
poisoning and then getting on 
the raft and be like, ha ha, 

1268
01:03:01,680 --> 01:03:08,480
like into the into the sunset. 
It makes it was so out of left 

1269
01:03:08,480 --> 01:03:10,080
field. 
Like it I was like, where should

1270
01:03:10,080 --> 01:03:12,400
this come from? 
To me, at least in the movie, I 

1271
01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:15,240
was like watching at at that 
point, I felt like we needed a 

1272
01:03:15,240 --> 01:03:20,000
little bit more suspicion from 
him to like lead us up to that 

1273
01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:21,840
moment so it didn't feel so 
abrupt. 

1274
01:03:22,480 --> 01:03:28,240
But that is a very like, you 
know, small issue in a movie 

1275
01:03:28,240 --> 01:03:30,600
that has that's just kind of all
over the place. 

1276
01:03:30,960 --> 01:03:35,560
Yeah, yeah, the fuck you, Linda.
Definitely made me laugh a lot 

1277
01:03:35,560 --> 01:03:37,360
in the theater. 
I think that's what he said. 

1278
01:03:37,360 --> 01:03:38,880
And then when he gets hit by the
wave. 

1279
01:03:38,960 --> 01:03:42,520
Yeah, on the and he's like, and 
she's like, and then then the 

1280
01:03:42,600 --> 01:03:46,160
next morning when he's like 
depressed, she's like, Oh yeah, 

1281
01:03:46,160 --> 01:03:50,320
like you should have added this 
extra, you know, layer to the to

1282
01:03:50,320 --> 01:03:52,560
the raft and she's like, but I 
didn't teach you that one. 

1283
01:03:52,600 --> 01:03:54,400
Right, well, let's rewind just a
little bit. 

1284
01:03:54,400 --> 01:03:57,000
When she rescues him out of the 
ocean and she throws up in his 

1285
01:03:57,000 --> 01:04:01,800
mouth for 30 seconds. 
That was disgusting. 

1286
01:04:02,200 --> 01:04:04,320
That also got a huge reaction 
from our theater. 

1287
01:04:05,160 --> 01:04:08,720
So he wakes up the next morning.
She paralyzes him with octopus 

1288
01:04:08,720 --> 01:04:09,960
venom. 
Oh, right. 

1289
01:04:10,040 --> 01:04:13,080
And you think, and this is where
the movie turns, This is where 

1290
01:04:13,080 --> 01:04:15,800
the movie turns for me, where I 
was like, oh fuck, we're in a 

1291
01:04:15,800 --> 01:04:18,280
different movie. 
And I wish, I actually wish that

1292
01:04:18,280 --> 01:04:23,160
this is where the movie went, 
where she is like she's what do 

1293
01:04:23,160 --> 01:04:26,280
you, I guess, castrating him 
right as punishment. 

1294
01:04:27,640 --> 01:04:30,720
And it is outrageous. 
And it was so upsetting and 

1295
01:04:30,720 --> 01:04:33,240
uncomfortable, but also kind of 
deeply symbolic. 

1296
01:04:33,240 --> 01:04:36,640
And I liked that. 
And I thought that dismantling 

1297
01:04:36,640 --> 01:04:40,920
him was like a funny thing in 
the in the middle of what was 

1298
01:04:40,920 --> 01:04:43,240
about to be a romance. 
So I was like, oh, this is about

1299
01:04:43,240 --> 01:04:45,240
to go. 
So Kathy Bates, James Caan, 

1300
01:04:45,240 --> 01:04:49,920
Misery, shout out Rob Reiner 
because I thought that was like,

1301
01:04:49,920 --> 01:04:51,880
this is how she, like, keeps him
on this island. 

1302
01:04:52,120 --> 01:04:54,360
And then when she chose the rat,
that she could have rat open. 

1303
01:04:54,360 --> 01:04:55,960
I'm like, this is such a silly 
film. 

1304
01:04:56,320 --> 01:04:58,680
Like, you can't take anything 
too seriously or else it's going

1305
01:04:58,680 --> 01:04:59,760
to get you. 
It feels like the movie is 

1306
01:04:59,760 --> 01:05:03,120
constantly trying to wink at you
and then just at the last second

1307
01:05:03,120 --> 01:05:05,440
decides to keep looking off 
camera. 

1308
01:05:05,760 --> 01:05:08,360
And then as soon as the end, the
movie ends and Rachel McAdams 

1309
01:05:08,360 --> 01:05:10,520
looks at us in her car and winks
at us, the audience. 

1310
01:05:10,520 --> 01:05:13,440
I was like, OK, Sam Raimi was 
having fun with us. 

1311
01:05:14,560 --> 01:05:17,960
So yeah, she kills the fiance. 
She killed a guy helping. 

1312
01:05:17,960 --> 01:05:22,680
Her and I also was I think the 
the interesting part about 

1313
01:05:22,680 --> 01:05:26,000
casting Rachel McAdams is that 
like, not only was I in 

1314
01:05:26,000 --> 01:05:29,600
disbelief that the character was
doing this just cuz she feels 

1315
01:05:29,600 --> 01:05:34,160
like a a regular like person who
yeah, like maybe spends who has 

1316
01:05:34,160 --> 01:05:38,080
spent a little bit of time alone
and you know, whatever. 

1317
01:05:38,080 --> 01:05:41,400
But it's a, it's a, it's an 
issue of a trope of, you know 

1318
01:05:41,760 --> 01:05:43,520
what a woman character in this 
movie. 

1319
01:05:43,520 --> 01:05:49,160
But for Rachel McAdams, like in 
terms of her career history, 

1320
01:05:49,160 --> 01:05:52,000
you're like, wait, I can't 
believe that this character, but

1321
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:55,200
then also Rachel McAdams is 
going to let someone fall off a 

1322
01:05:55,200 --> 01:05:57,800
Cliff, you know? 
So I think that was also a part 

1323
01:05:57,800 --> 01:06:01,280
of the the layers of the movie 
that made it fun because I was 

1324
01:06:01,280 --> 01:06:04,120
like, I can't, I couldn't 
believe she murdered him. 

1325
01:06:04,120 --> 01:06:06,680
Yeah. 
Bradley. 

1326
01:06:06,720 --> 01:06:09,040
They fight, right? 
He rips part of her hair out. 

1327
01:06:09,040 --> 01:06:12,520
Like we said, she bites. 
His like muscle off this whole. 

1328
01:06:12,760 --> 01:06:13,960
Sequence. 
Is wild. 

1329
01:06:14,640 --> 01:06:18,080
And he gets stabbed, so he 
flees, but he's struggling, he's

1330
01:06:18,080 --> 01:06:22,280
bleeding out, and he finds the 
beach house, which is awesome. 

1331
01:06:22,280 --> 01:06:25,720
It reframes the entire story. 
And this is where we learned 

1332
01:06:25,720 --> 01:06:27,600
that she's been getting fruits. 
She got the knife. 

1333
01:06:27,760 --> 01:06:30,040
She was like, you got a knife 
like this just washed up on the 

1334
01:06:30,040 --> 01:06:32,760
beach, you idiot. 
Well, the first, I guess the 

1335
01:06:32,760 --> 01:06:35,320
beginning of the whole time 
there when she had the sushi 

1336
01:06:35,320 --> 01:06:38,840
line up and he was like begging,
you know, for the food. 

1337
01:06:38,840 --> 01:06:41,160
And he's still like again, side 
eyeing her when she's looking 

1338
01:06:41,160 --> 01:06:45,000
away, which is amazing acting. 
I was like, this is funny 

1339
01:06:45,200 --> 01:06:47,760
because she is that prepared for
Survivor. 

1340
01:06:47,960 --> 01:06:51,160
But then when it came to the 
beach house reveal and you're 

1341
01:06:51,160 --> 01:06:54,480
like, oh, this is even funnier 
if you're a survivor fan because

1342
01:06:54,680 --> 01:06:58,280
there have always been rumors 
about contestants getting 

1343
01:06:58,280 --> 01:07:01,880
catering or snacks off camera. 
And I took that as a great like,

1344
01:07:02,400 --> 01:07:04,440
I don't know if it's intentional
or accidental, but like met a 

1345
01:07:04,440 --> 01:07:06,320
joke For me personally, I was 
that's. 

1346
01:07:06,400 --> 01:07:09,040
Good. 
A challenge that we had watched.

1347
01:07:09,040 --> 01:07:11,760
And if you win the challenge, 
you get to go to a restaurant to

1348
01:07:11,760 --> 01:07:13,320
eat a meal. 
That's a pretty normal thing 

1349
01:07:13,320 --> 01:07:15,240
they do on the show, Yeah. 
They'll be like, come to this, a

1350
01:07:15,240 --> 01:07:17,360
deserted island, one person of 
your choice. 

1351
01:07:17,360 --> 01:07:19,920
There are rumors, yeah. 
Yeah. 

1352
01:07:20,000 --> 01:07:21,680
OK, that that that was 
happening, I think. 

1353
01:07:21,680 --> 01:07:23,240
Some confirmed. 
I think somebody was sneaking 

1354
01:07:23,240 --> 01:07:26,320
someone like snicker bars. 
One season I'm pretty sure that 

1355
01:07:26,320 --> 01:07:31,640
happened. 
So Linda gets a shotgun, she 

1356
01:07:31,640 --> 01:07:35,480
goes to kill him, he steals the 
shotgun because he starts using 

1357
01:07:35,480 --> 01:07:39,080
his like sad hot white boy charm
where he keeps trying to like 

1358
01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:43,320
get her to feel bad for him 
because of his parents. 

1359
01:07:43,320 --> 01:07:45,040
I'll stay. 
I'll stay with you like I love 

1360
01:07:45,040 --> 01:07:48,720
you. 
Your companion and still for a 

1361
01:07:48,720 --> 01:07:51,880
moment I'm like, I don't believe
him, but like this movie so 

1362
01:07:51,880 --> 01:07:54,280
strange that I guess they could 
this could do it. 

1363
01:07:54,560 --> 01:07:57,280
And as soon as he steals the gun
and he tries to shoot her and 

1364
01:07:57,280 --> 01:07:59,440
it's not loaded, she's like, I'm
done with you. 

1365
01:07:59,440 --> 01:08:02,640
And she kills him with, you 
know, the elitist Golf Club 

1366
01:08:02,640 --> 01:08:05,480
symbol of everything he once 
valued, which I thought was 

1367
01:08:05,480 --> 01:08:07,000
pretty awesome. 
I totally forgot that was how 

1368
01:08:07,000 --> 01:08:08,480
the final kill happened. 
Yeah. 

1369
01:08:08,480 --> 01:08:10,880
I just loved how she was 
watching him on all the. 

1370
01:08:10,880 --> 01:08:12,760
Security cameras. 
It's a good match cut of him, 

1371
01:08:12,760 --> 01:08:16,399
like smacking his face with the 
9 iron and then going to her 

1372
01:08:16,399 --> 01:08:19,319
actually playing golf and 
talking about her documentary. 

1373
01:08:19,319 --> 01:08:20,640
She wrote a book. 
Yeah. 

1374
01:08:20,680 --> 01:08:23,200
Yeah, the book. 
About how to survive, Yeah, 

1375
01:08:23,200 --> 01:08:26,720
that's so great. 
But yeah, I mean, this and this 

1376
01:08:26,720 --> 01:08:29,960
particular and sequence of the 
movie, like it was such a funny 

1377
01:08:29,960 --> 01:08:34,680
reveal with the house. 
I liked her being this kind of 

1378
01:08:34,680 --> 01:08:37,840
like menacing figure behind all 
these screens, like watching him

1379
01:08:38,200 --> 01:08:42,120
just go throughout the house in 
shock and also panic. 

1380
01:08:43,439 --> 01:08:47,600
But the the sequence at the end 
where it was painted as if she, 

1381
01:08:47,600 --> 01:08:51,439
like wanted to stay on the 
island to trap him, to love him 

1382
01:08:51,760 --> 01:08:55,479
because she's a lonely woman who
eats tuna sandwiches along with 

1383
01:08:55,479 --> 01:08:59,040
her bird and watches survivor. 
That I was like boring, like, 

1384
01:08:59,359 --> 01:09:05,240
you know, like such a boring 
idea of like just motivation 

1385
01:09:05,240 --> 01:09:08,000
that seems so unrealistic for 
like a woman. 

1386
01:09:08,000 --> 01:09:10,279
It just it felt like a very 
tired trope that we've seen. 

1387
01:09:11,279 --> 01:09:16,040
But in terms of the the actual 
like house and horror sequence 

1388
01:09:16,040 --> 01:09:21,040
of, of it all and the kill at 
the end, like that was that was 

1389
01:09:21,040 --> 01:09:24,760
fine for me in terms of yeah, 
the the mechanics of of the 

1390
01:09:24,760 --> 01:09:26,680
movie. 
It made it fun and I liked at 

1391
01:09:26,680 --> 01:09:31,479
the end how how she, you know, 
becomes this, this person who's 

1392
01:09:31,479 --> 01:09:33,359
essentially she takes Dylan 
O'Brien's job. 

1393
01:09:33,359 --> 01:09:36,240
Yeah, it is doing a little bit 
of like the most because of like

1394
01:09:36,240 --> 01:09:38,240
it was already fun and 
satirical, but then it's like 

1395
01:09:38,279 --> 01:09:40,359
now we're talking about 
consumable, you know, 

1396
01:09:40,399 --> 01:09:43,600
entertaining trauma and making 
it like into a book or 

1397
01:09:43,600 --> 01:09:45,279
documentary or signing into 
movie rights. 

1398
01:09:45,279 --> 01:09:48,560
And I was like, I this this 
movie is like a little bit like,

1399
01:09:48,600 --> 01:09:50,640
it's just too silly for its own 
good. 

1400
01:09:50,640 --> 01:09:54,080
It doesn't take itself serious 
enough for me to actually think.

1401
01:09:54,080 --> 01:10:00,120
It's like something, I guess 
serious, I don't know something.

1402
01:10:00,560 --> 01:10:01,640
It's. 
Successful enough for. 

1403
01:10:01,640 --> 01:10:03,760
Me. 
An OK movie to me, yeah, that I 

1404
01:10:03,760 --> 01:10:06,120
had a lot of fun watching. 
Yeah, it's effective as a camp 

1405
01:10:06,120 --> 01:10:08,320
horror, but I feel like camp 
horror, I guess I'm trying to 

1406
01:10:08,320 --> 01:10:09,880
say, has a very low ceiling for 
me. 

1407
01:10:10,040 --> 01:10:13,240
And this hit that ceiling as 
like high as it could, if it 

1408
01:10:13,240 --> 01:10:16,160
makes sense. 
Yeah, extra credits. 

1409
01:10:16,680 --> 01:10:20,560
I liked how the, I, I guess I 
liked the will they won't they 

1410
01:10:20,560 --> 01:10:21,680
chemistry between the two of 
them. 

1411
01:10:22,000 --> 01:10:24,000
I was a little bit curious going
into this. 

1412
01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:26,480
Like will Rachel McAdams and 
Dylan O'Brien have chemistry? 

1413
01:10:26,560 --> 01:10:29,720
Because O'Brien is like closer 
to our age and probably had a 

1414
01:10:29,720 --> 01:10:32,040
crush on Rachel McAdams growing 
up, like how most of us did, or 

1415
01:10:32,040 --> 01:10:35,200
at least I did. 
And I think he's confirmed that 

1416
01:10:35,200 --> 01:10:37,080
interview since. 
But I guess he has to say that. 

1417
01:10:37,080 --> 01:10:40,400
But like, I I'm sure he did, 
considering how much of AA fan 

1418
01:10:40,400 --> 01:10:45,120
he was for early work. 
Yeah, and walking out, I was 

1419
01:10:45,120 --> 01:10:48,440
actually pretty convinced by 
their fake romance, and so I was

1420
01:10:48,440 --> 01:10:50,600
surprised by their chemistry. 
So I'll say extra credit to the 

1421
01:10:50,600 --> 01:10:52,440
chemistry for me. 
Interesting. 

1422
01:10:52,440 --> 01:10:55,680
OK, yeah. 
I mean, I guess I was surprised 

1423
01:10:55,800 --> 01:11:00,600
by like how they were meshing in
the movie because they feel like

1424
01:11:00,600 --> 01:11:02,920
opposite off screen presences. 
Yeah. 

1425
01:11:03,680 --> 01:11:07,120
So that that makes sense. 
I'm going to give extra credit 

1426
01:11:07,320 --> 01:11:14,000
to Dylan O'Brien. 
Just like giggling. 

1427
01:11:14,200 --> 01:11:16,000
Like, not he's not giggling, 
He's going. 

1428
01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:17,960
He's panic laughing, tackling 
panic. 

1429
01:11:17,960 --> 01:11:20,840
Laughing. 
Yeah, or making like cries like 

1430
01:11:20,840 --> 01:11:24,280
that are essentially like high 
pitched cries. 

1431
01:11:24,280 --> 01:11:27,120
There's a squeal that Ryan 
Gosling does in The Nice Guys. 

1432
01:11:27,120 --> 01:11:30,120
Yeah, that reminded me of what 
he's up to in this. 

1433
01:11:31,240 --> 01:11:33,080
And then were Rolster crows like
he's going to break his arms. 

1434
01:11:33,080 --> 01:11:37,640
Like no, no. 
Totally. 

1435
01:11:37,960 --> 01:11:41,960
So that really like I think just
brought brought me back to the 

1436
01:11:41,960 --> 01:11:44,760
movie at all times when I was 
like, what are we watching right

1437
01:11:44,760 --> 01:11:48,000
now? 
And then Rachel McAdams kind of 

1438
01:11:48,000 --> 01:11:51,200
like her. 
I I don't know exactly how to 

1439
01:11:51,200 --> 01:11:56,320
describe it, but when she's like
chewing slash, like she she gets

1440
01:11:56,320 --> 01:12:01,120
in like almost like like a 
coach, you know, look at Dylan 

1441
01:12:01,120 --> 01:12:05,600
O'Brien like get together or she
she's kind of like smirking at 

1442
01:12:05,600 --> 01:12:08,480
him. 
Like those moments in the movie 

1443
01:12:09,240 --> 01:12:12,600
where where she's like she kind 
of like shakes her head in 

1444
01:12:12,600 --> 01:12:15,040
disbelief that he's in a 
different reality than she is. 

1445
01:12:15,400 --> 01:12:19,360
Like the things that she is 
doing to make me be on her side 

1446
01:12:19,360 --> 01:12:23,000
of I guess a character that like
wants to stay on the island for 

1447
01:12:23,000 --> 01:12:25,880
in the movies logic of like 
these wild reasons of wanting to

1448
01:12:25,880 --> 01:12:29,120
keep him there. 
Anyway, I just I really loved 

1449
01:12:29,120 --> 01:12:32,120
her performance. 
Like it was so fun and I and I 

1450
01:12:32,760 --> 01:12:35,240
didn't take the character 
obviously seriously because this

1451
01:12:35,240 --> 01:12:40,840
movie is super silly, but I did 
like at moments take what she 

1452
01:12:40,840 --> 01:12:45,000
was doing like seriously enough 
for me to buy into the stakes of

1453
01:12:45,240 --> 01:12:47,640
the movie and surface level 
terms, if that makes sense. 

1454
01:12:47,640 --> 01:12:49,680
That's a good way to frame it 
though I guess it did remind me 

1455
01:12:49,680 --> 01:12:53,680
of like an army command, like a,
an army grunt with their 

1456
01:12:53,680 --> 01:12:56,480
commander and then being 
disappointed in them not being 

1457
01:12:56,480 --> 01:12:58,560
able to do their their duties. 
I guess we just watched A Few 

1458
01:12:58,560 --> 01:13:00,520
Good Men recently and I was kind
of thinking about that. 

1459
01:13:02,400 --> 01:13:04,040
Yeah. 
I, I guess I ultimately, I love 

1460
01:13:04,040 --> 01:13:06,000
that they don't fall in love. 
I love that they recognize 

1461
01:13:06,000 --> 01:13:07,920
themselves and each other. 
And they're like more mirrors. 

1462
01:13:07,920 --> 01:13:13,360
And I, I like that that Bradley 
sees what's her name Linda. 

1463
01:13:13,720 --> 01:13:18,360
And it's like, it is unbearable 
what I see in you that is saying

1464
01:13:18,360 --> 01:13:21,000
a lot about me. 
So I I need to kill you or get 

1465
01:13:21,000 --> 01:13:24,560
off this island? 
I wish it be the only thing. 

1466
01:13:24,560 --> 01:13:27,960
I wish we got like a flashback 
or something because we see her 

1467
01:13:28,000 --> 01:13:30,920
find the house right and like 
see the deliveries and 

1468
01:13:30,920 --> 01:13:32,720
everything and because the 
person isn't home. 

1469
01:13:33,040 --> 01:13:36,680
I wish we got 1 scene of 
flashing back to her like 

1470
01:13:36,680 --> 01:13:39,920
sitting on the couch watching 
TV, like eating, like having a 

1471
01:13:39,920 --> 01:13:41,560
snack. 
I just think it would have been 

1472
01:13:41,560 --> 01:13:43,240
a fun little addition. 
Yeah. 

1473
01:13:43,240 --> 01:13:45,600
Did you like the zombie scene 
with the fiance or no? 

1474
01:13:45,600 --> 01:13:48,880
The jump scare Very same Remy. 
I kind of forget. 

1475
01:13:48,880 --> 01:13:51,000
Where she sees the smoky, foggy 
beach. 

1476
01:13:51,440 --> 01:13:56,400
Oh yeah, that's fine. 
For Rachel McAdams career 

1477
01:13:56,400 --> 01:13:58,240
because I think we're heading to
the end of our episode now 

1478
01:13:59,520 --> 01:14:01,960
again, I talked a lot about this
on TikTok already on our YouTube

1479
01:14:01,960 --> 01:14:04,400
recently what we're about to do 
in about time deep dive on 

1480
01:14:04,400 --> 01:14:05,240
Patreon, which. 
Yeah. 

1481
01:14:05,240 --> 01:14:06,720
So we'll talk more about it 
there. 

1482
01:14:06,720 --> 01:14:09,280
Super excited about you. 
Just want me to read you my top 

1483
01:14:09,280 --> 01:14:10,400
ten. 
You can just tell me what you 

1484
01:14:11,040 --> 01:14:14,520
agree with or disagree with, OK?
I'm not going to explain these 

1485
01:14:14,520 --> 01:14:16,040
because I already have, so you 
can go listen to the 

1486
01:14:16,040 --> 01:14:19,640
explanations elsewhere in the 
description of this episode #10 

1487
01:14:19,640 --> 01:14:24,720
Southpaw #9. 
Wedding crashers #8 Red eye #7 

1488
01:14:24,720 --> 01:14:26,360
Send help. 
Number six. 

1489
01:14:26,400 --> 01:14:27,520
Are you there? 
God, it's me. 

1490
01:14:27,520 --> 01:14:30,800
Margaret #5. 
Spotlight #4. 

1491
01:14:30,800 --> 01:14:35,440
Game night #3. 
The notebook #2 About time 

1492
01:14:35,760 --> 01:14:38,040
number one. 
Get in, loser. 

1493
01:14:38,040 --> 01:14:40,080
We're going shopping. 
Mean Girls. 

1494
01:14:40,080 --> 01:14:43,840
Regina George. 
Wow, yeah, I think, I think Mean

1495
01:14:43,840 --> 01:14:47,080
Girls is I, I definitely agree 
in terms of performances. 

1496
01:14:47,080 --> 01:14:48,520
Like what she's doing there is 
crazy. 

1497
01:14:49,200 --> 01:14:52,920
I think literally the greatest 
comic performance of the 21st 

1498
01:14:52,920 --> 01:14:55,720
century is Regina George. 
And while it's obviously like a 

1499
01:14:55,720 --> 01:14:59,080
hugely celebrated movie, an 
underrated performance, an under

1500
01:14:59,080 --> 01:15:01,280
celebrated performance in Rachel
McAdams. 

1501
01:15:02,040 --> 01:15:03,680
There's a lot missing off that 
top ten, obviously. 

1502
01:15:03,680 --> 01:15:07,480
The Family Stone The Vow. 
Morning Glory Midnight in Paris 

1503
01:15:07,480 --> 01:15:09,600
I. 
Don't really remember the vow, 

1504
01:15:09,600 --> 01:15:13,800
but I think I think as we talk 
about this more with About Time,

1505
01:15:13,800 --> 01:15:16,280
I'll probably argue for the 
Family Stone being on there. 

1506
01:15:16,600 --> 01:15:21,920
Yeah, even though it's a weird 
movie, I still watch it every 

1507
01:15:22,400 --> 01:15:25,560
Christmas. 
Yeah, kind of a holiday movie, 

1508
01:15:25,560 --> 01:15:25,920
The. 
Holiday. 

1509
01:15:25,920 --> 01:15:27,520
Yeah. 
I mean, I like that list. 

1510
01:15:27,920 --> 01:15:29,680
OK, I'll think about it. 
All right. 

1511
01:15:29,800 --> 01:15:31,320
Yeah. 
No hot takes about. 

1512
01:15:31,320 --> 01:15:33,320
Send help at number. 
Seven I I was thinking that's, 

1513
01:15:33,480 --> 01:15:35,520
that's pretty. 
High, but she she. 

1514
01:15:36,480 --> 01:15:38,720
Like has a lot to do in this, 
you know. 

1515
01:15:38,760 --> 01:15:41,120
Let me ask you this, you just 
recently watched Red Eye, which 

1516
01:15:41,120 --> 01:15:43,040
is the only other horror film 
she's been in, I believe. 

1517
01:15:43,480 --> 01:15:46,400
Do you think that that is 'cause
that performance is a little bit

1518
01:15:46,400 --> 01:15:48,040
more like Final Girl? 
Russ Craven? 

1519
01:15:48,040 --> 01:15:49,000
Well. 
Yeah, that's what I was going to

1520
01:15:49,000 --> 01:15:49,960
say. 
That's what I was like kind of 

1521
01:15:49,960 --> 01:15:53,120
wrestling with is that. 
So Red Eye was a really fun 

1522
01:15:53,120 --> 01:15:56,160
movie. 
A better movie than Sent Help, 

1523
01:15:56,160 --> 01:15:58,400
so if you haven't seen Red Red 
Eye in a minute, watch that 

1524
01:15:58,400 --> 01:16:00,240
again. 
And Kelly and Murphy's great in 

1525
01:16:00,240 --> 01:16:02,760
that too. 
Like just watching them like 

1526
01:16:02,920 --> 01:16:05,480
basically in a room for most of 
the movie on a plane. 

1527
01:16:05,480 --> 01:16:07,320
Kind of similar, like are you 
guys going to fall in love or 

1528
01:16:07,320 --> 01:16:08,320
are you going to kill each 
other? 

1529
01:16:10,120 --> 01:16:12,000
But there's more of a clear 
total distinction of what 

1530
01:16:12,000 --> 01:16:15,240
happens when the reveal happens.
And A and a more like, I guess 

1531
01:16:15,240 --> 01:16:18,920
truer horror movie. 
But she was asked to do this is 

1532
01:16:18,920 --> 01:16:20,440
where I was like kind of going 
back and forth. 

1533
01:16:20,440 --> 01:16:26,560
She's asked to do this like 
innocent woman who was scorned 

1534
01:16:26,560 --> 01:16:30,440
but is still like, sweet, you 
know, kind of thing from that 

1535
01:16:30,440 --> 01:16:34,360
particular era that I, yes, 
she's great in it. 

1536
01:16:34,360 --> 01:16:37,440
But like, I enjoy what she's 
doing a little bit more and send

1537
01:16:37,440 --> 01:16:39,080
help that feels a little bit 
more zany. 

1538
01:16:39,400 --> 01:16:40,640
So I understand. 
Yeah. 

1539
01:16:40,760 --> 01:16:43,840
OK, let me think about this and 
I'll have like more. 

1540
01:16:43,880 --> 01:16:46,320
I just love those plots that are
like, you picked the wrong woman

1541
01:16:46,320 --> 01:16:48,040
to fuck with. 
You thought she was being nice 

1542
01:16:48,080 --> 01:16:49,720
because nothing's ever happened 
to her. 

1543
01:16:49,720 --> 01:16:52,000
In fact, she is a survivor. 
And good fucking luck. 

1544
01:16:52,000 --> 01:16:55,600
Killian Murphy. 
And she also, you know, shows us

1545
01:16:55,600 --> 01:16:58,200
in game night. 
God, I love that performance. 

1546
01:16:59,000 --> 01:17:02,680
I love that performance so much.
Her and Jason Bateman are, like,

1547
01:17:02,760 --> 01:17:05,440
amazing together. 
And yeah, yeah. 

1548
01:17:05,440 --> 01:17:07,520
You know, on the About Time 
episode I didn't like. 

1549
01:17:07,560 --> 01:17:08,680
Oh. 
My God, he's dead. 

1550
01:17:08,680 --> 01:17:12,120
Oh no. 
What am I going to shoot this 

1551
01:17:12,120 --> 01:17:18,440
gun bang? 
But I want to ask you like who 

1552
01:17:18,440 --> 01:17:22,400
your favorite, I guess chemistry
of like her acting opposite too 

1553
01:17:22,400 --> 01:17:25,800
is when we get there. 
Oh, let's do that on about time.

1554
01:17:25,960 --> 01:17:26,560
Yeah, that's what I. 
Yeah. 

1555
01:17:26,560 --> 01:17:27,360
OK. 
Yeah, that's a deeper 

1556
01:17:27,360 --> 01:17:28,960
conversation. 
That's a great question and I'll

1557
01:17:28,960 --> 01:17:30,280
ask you that as well. 
OK. 

1558
01:17:30,280 --> 01:17:32,040
That was the extra credits of 
Sam. 

1559
01:17:32,040 --> 01:17:33,880
Raimi's the question is really, 
who can match her? 

1560
01:17:33,960 --> 01:17:35,560
But yeah, extra credit of Sam 
Raimi. 

1561
01:17:36,000 --> 01:17:37,120
I guess just Gosling, I don't 
know. 

1562
01:17:37,120 --> 01:17:40,000
That's a that's a hard one. 
That was the extra credits of 

1563
01:17:40,000 --> 01:17:44,000
Sam Raimi's send help again. 
We won't be back for a bit. 

1564
01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:48,720
I would assume you'll hear an 
episode with just me speaking to

1565
01:17:49,280 --> 01:17:52,360
writer director Adam Vollerich 
about his movie Drink and Be 

1566
01:17:52,360 --> 01:17:55,320
Merry coming out very soon on 
our feed, but is out right now 

1567
01:17:55,320 --> 01:17:58,040
for you to rent on Prime or 
elsewhere. 

1568
01:17:58,920 --> 01:18:01,120
And then I think we'll have like
an Oscars episode the end of 

1569
01:18:01,120 --> 01:18:03,320
this month or best of 2025 
episode, the end of this month 

1570
01:18:03,560 --> 01:18:06,240
of February. 
I mean, so look out for that. 

1571
01:18:06,480 --> 01:18:09,520
And don't forget to see 28 Years
Later Part 2, The Bone Temple in

1572
01:18:09,520 --> 01:18:11,200
theaters. 
If you have to go a second or 

1573
01:18:11,200 --> 01:18:14,840
third time, please do. 
We will do that as well because 

1574
01:18:14,840 --> 01:18:16,440
we really want to see the third 
movie and. 

1575
01:18:16,480 --> 01:18:19,440

we love that so much and also 

1576
