Cox n' Crendor Show - Episode 111 - Maze Runner

Episode Date: October 10, 2015

The boys have returned and this time they bring with them a review of Maze Runner: Scorch Trials! Warning, there are some spoilers and stuff. Also they wrap up with some news... :P

Hello everybody, it's time for Cox and Crendor in the morning. In the morning. Broadcasting live, live, live, live, live. In 4 hour recording studio. Recording. Wake your ass up, it's Cox and Crendor in the morning. Cox and Crend Door in the morning! Cox's Grand Door in the morning! Hello everybody, welcome back to Cox's Grand Door in the morning.

Hey! Alright, here's the deal. If I were you, I'd skip ahead. If you don't want to get spoiled, maybe 15 minutes. I imagine that's how long we'll talk about this. Yeah. Because there's a lot to talk about. Yeah. Okay. So if you haven't seen the first one, brief synopsis. Oh, my God.

All right. So, yeah. In the first one, there are this guy at the beginning of the first one is riding a cart up into a light. And he doesn't know what it is. He's freaking out. And when he ends up through the light, he is in a field in this glen with a bunch of other boys. And apparently they all live there and have been sent there for some mysterious reason and they don't know yeah in or outside this glen is

a maze that keeps shifting and changing every night and so these boys have developed a society where there's some people who are farmers and some people who are like the big tough guys and then there's some people who are maze runners and And their job is to map the maze. Right? Yeah. So this guy wants to be a maze runner because he's, of course, immediately like, what's out there, man? What's happening? And what they discover is that the maze has been entirely mapped out.

But that the maze runners and the leadership of these boys are scared to tell them that basically there's no way out. Like there's nothing they can do. There are freaking monsters in the maze that will kill and eat them, and they're screwed. And that's when a girl pops up, and it's like this is the last person we'll ever send. And the main character recognizes this girl. I don't remember the main character's name. Is it Tom? What's the main character's name?

Oh, it's Thomas? Thomas. Yeah. So this girl pops up, and I don't remember her name either. The only character's name I remember is Mio because he's the best. Yeah. He's a badass Asian dude. I love him.

But so what am I missing here? So the girl pops up, and she is like, Tom, you and I were sent here because, like, you, you, like, shit went down. And, you know, like, we need to get out of here. And basically one night the maze doesn't close and is just open. So the monsters attack and, like, destroy the camp. So their only help is to leave. And so they go into the maze together. Their only help is to leave.

And so they go into the maze together. They fight off the monsters. And they discover that there's this, like, special access point that leads to a giant facility. And all this has been a massive test. Yeah. And the world has apparently ended. And it's freaking bonkers. Like, these kids have some serum inside their bodies. And that it can save the world.

And they're testing them for some freaking reason. It makes no sense. And the lady's like, this is all the things that are happening. Then she shoots herself. But she doesn't shoot herself. Yeah, what happens then after that, then it shows her still alive and she's like, good, now let's move on to the next phase of testing.

And you're like, what are you talking about? That's like how the movie ends. Yeah. Like, it was all a test the entire time. So part two starts. And I'll let Crendor try to explain part two to you. It's so hard to explain these movies. Crendor, if you would do the honors.

This one wasn't as like plot twisty, but it was still insane. Okay. So there's all the kids. They just get out of there. And as soon as they get out, like, all these people come raid them. They're like, come with us. They're like these military dudes. And they take the kids, and they take them like a helicopter,

and they fly them to, like, some secret military base. They're like, get in. And they're like, what? We got to go in there. And then, like, zombies start attacking. Freaking zombies out of nowhere. For the record, Maze Runner Scorch Trials is basically a zombie movie. Let's be very

clear. It's, oh my god, this movie, like, I don't know what to categorize it as. It's like changed categories. Yes, it went from like a weird, it's like these books have nothing to do with each other, plot-wise. Like, I need to read the books to figure out what's different between the

books and the movies, because so far, Scorch Trials is a zombie chase movie. Maze Runner was like, what are we doing in this maze? Sci-fi, like, psychological thrillers. Yeah. And then this is like, no, everyone's a zombie now. Like, what? What is happening? And so they take him into here.

And then there's Littlefinger from Game of Thrones. He's the, like, guy who's like, welcome to our place. And they're like, okay. And he's like, don't worry. This is a refuge for you and a safe haven. And you're going to be fine here. And he's like, Thomas, you got to trust me, Thomas. And he's like, why should I trust you?

And he's like, why wouldn't you trust me? And he's like, we're on the same team. And when we're all done here, we'll take you to the safe haven that's the place for all the kids just like you yeah so like uh oh theresa's her name yeah theresa and tom yeah so he's like where are you taking theresa and he's like don't worry about that and she's just like and she's like i just gotta go thomas and then she's covered in like like wires like every time they see her she is just constantly being led around by guys with like tubes sticking out of her and crap and he's like what the shit and then the one time they're like in a big like

cafeteria for a lunch room it's pretty much like a little school they got like a big cafeteria and then like their little dorm room things for all the kids and that's where they stay and so they're in the cafeteria and then he sees her being taken with all the tubes and shit in her. And he's like, I'm gonna go find out. Which I'm like, they're not gonna let you in, idiot. And so he walks up and then they're like, where do you think you're going? He's like, I'm going

where I want. And they're like, no you're not. And he's like, oh, okay. That's pretty accurate. But in that room where all the kids are, that's where they meet two new characters, I believe. Yeah. One is, I don't remember his name. We'll just say Indian dude and black dude.

Indian dude and black dude. And then weird kid that's sitting by himself. Weird hoodie kid who sits by himself. And they're like, yeah, he was in. Apparently all these kids were from Mazes too. Yeah. And so they're like, yeah, he was in, like, apparently all these kids were from mazes, too. Yeah. And so they're all, like, our main characters. And then the kid with the hoodie, they're like, yeah, man, he was in a maze with all girls.

Some dudes have all the love. Yeah. And, of course, it's, like, the squirreliest looking, like, I don't know why. Of course that's the guy. Yeah. So they're like, yeah, but he's been here the longest, like a week and a half or something. And they're like, oh, shit, dude. All right.

And so later on, they're in their dorm thing. And that kid, squirrelly hooded kid, just pops out of the air vent. And he's just like, come with me. And you're just like, what? Of course Tom does. Tom's like, all right, sure. All right, I'll follow you. So he follows them into the air vent and he takes them to where they're taking all the kids.

Because I forgot to mention that every like day they pick like seven kids. They're like, we're going to take you to the safe haven, which, you know, already a few at a time. Already. I'm like, that is very such bullshit. Like such bullshit. Yeah. Like, really? Why can you only take a few kids at a time to the safe haven?

It just reminds me of the Simpsons Like Halloween episode the one time Where they would like take the kids And they'd like kill them and make them into sloppy joes Yeah it's like it's like yeah it's like all those Short horror stories like the lottery Like they've won the lottery And now they can go to the better place

And the better place is like they're just killed Yeah so he sees Them getting taken into this place and they're like, oh, shit. But they can't get into it. They just see they're like taking the kids into this room. And he's like, we got to get in that room. The room is sealed off, but the kids are like in essentially futuristic coffins with all their vitals on the top. But they're being – they've clearly been knocked out.

All the kids that are chosen are knocked out and then taken into a private room And they're like what is going on in there, bro? Yeah, so he's like are we I get in there, and he's like I saw some crazy shit They're like no way Thomas, and then he's like I'm gonna get in there And he tries to get in past the guards again They're like where you think you're going and little fingers like Thomas I thought we're friends, and he's like yeah, yeah, yeah, and they're like Thomas that was dumb And he's like, but I got the card key andinger's like, Thomas, I thought we were friends. And he's like, yeah, yeah, yeah. And they're like, Thomas, that was dumb. And he's like, but I got the card key.

And it's like, da-da-da-da. It's pretty great. He's like, yeah, but I stole that card key. So later that night, he goes with the hoodie kid again. And they use the card key. And they get in the room. And they're just, like, all hung up, like, alien-like style. Well, the first part of the room is all the monsters from the maze are, like, in embryo form.

So because this guy's like, we're not part of Wicked, I want to remind everyone the evil organization in this franchise is called Wicked. Yeah. I want to remind everyone. He's like, we're not part of them. Littlefinger's like, no, we're the good guys, Thomas. Trust me. And then when you go in this room, course they are absolutely 100 bad guys yeah they have all the monsters and then when he enters the other part of the room all the kids are hung up

and being like drained of their goo that cures the disease yeah basically which i don't get i don't get how they have like what's special about them Here's the problem Later on the movie negates the fact that These kids needed to be drained anyway Yeah Because the bad guys are like we just need to drain them of their essence So that we can save people But later on they're just like give us your blood and inject it in this person

Yeah Well if that's the case Why couldn't you do that anyway Yeah But whatever So then of course Littlefinger walks in Yeah. Well, if that's the case, why couldn't you do that anyway? Yeah. Whatever. But so then, of course, Littlefinger walks in. And apparently the one giant view screen is also in this room. Yeah, of course.

He walks in and he's like, screen on. And then it's the lady from the first one who's like, my time schedule needs to be moved up. I want all of them turned into goo now. And he's like, but I'm going as fast as I can. She's like, I'll be there in three days or whatever. Like three hours or whatever she says. And he's just like, shit, shit, shit. So then Thomas is like, I'm going to go get those kids, those rascals from the first movie first because reasons.

Yeah. And then Thomas is like, sure, dude. They just start like running back. They're like, come on. And so all the guys are like, what are you talking about? And then they, like, barricade the door and they just get out of there. And they're just like, oh, shit. And then it becomes, like, an insane, like, escape movie.

Like, basically it's a 20-minute chase of them in the building. They take a nurse hostage. They go to get Teresa. And Teresa is, like, laying in a hospital bed fine. And they're like, what's going on? She's like, huh? What? What are you doing, Thomas?

They get, like, stun guns and start shooting people. Like, it's crazy. It's crazy. These kids who have no weapons training are just acing. There's a scene where Thomas has his gun pointed at Littlefinger and, like, four dudes with shields and shit. And they open a door behind them and they start to like all run out the back door and the door starts to close.

Thomas chucks his gun at them and starts to run. Like hardcore. Meanwhile, all these soldiers do not fire one shot. They don't even attempt to stop this kid. He's just like, get him! And they all run after him like, grrrr! And Thomas does an Indiana Jones slide under the closing door and makes it out.

And then Littlefinger's like, you're crazy. And they end up now out in the Scorch, which is basically the end times desert of doom. And that's, I guess, where the movie's supposed to start. But really, about 45 minutes of actual screen time has already been used up with his introduction. Yeah, which is just like crazy, craziness. They have the stormtrooper treatment. They just can't shoot him.

Yeah, the soldiers are the worst. The worst soldiers. How they've managed to survive this zombie apocalypse, I don't know. I couldn't even tell you. Yeah, so they go out. It's just the desert and shit. And they're like, all right, where are we going to go?

And it's like the sandstorm they escaped. Like, get in here. Because now they're all out looking for them. So they're like, let's go in this weird buried chamber thing. So they go in it. I think it's supposed to be like a subway station or a train station or something. But it's underground. And it's a makeshift shelter.

And clearly people have lived there in the past. There's a dead dude sitting on a sofa or a loveseat, and there's clothes, and so of course now they're all changing out of their clothes, and the black dude, for some reason, when he sees Teresa change, he's like, yeah. And then the little skinny kid from the first movie's like, hey, bro, don't do that.

I noticed that. It's ridiculous. I was like, wait, what? And so, uh, they all start to explore this underground subway thing, and they discover that there's power cords leading to some sort of fuse box or generator or something, and they go over to it

to turn on the power. But of course, as they're exploring, and they go over to it to turn on the power. But, of course, as they're exploring, they realize, like, don't turn on the power! And, of course, right then they turn on the power, and all of a sudden it's like, and this girl, like, pops up, like, there apparently were thousands of zombies down here that did not do shit until they turned on the power. Once the power's on, it is a chase to get out of there. And until they turned on the power. Yeah. Like, I don't know why.

When the power's on, it is a chase to get out of there. And so they're just, like, running and going crazy. And these aren't, like, your typical, like, Walking Dead zombies. These are, like, War Z. Like, these zombies run, like, 800 miles an hour zombies. And they're also, like, weird infected. They're, like, kind of like the zombies in, oh, God, Last of Us. Yeah.

Where they're not zombie zombies, but they're, like, infected with some crazy shit. Yeah. And so they are chasing them down. There's weird crap coming out of their face and mouth and stuff, and they have no eyes, and they're just nuts. They're crazy. And they're chasing after them.

And, of course, Indian Kid gets caught in a door. This is something I'll never understand. The monsters have his leg, right? Yeah. They manage to save him, but then you discover there's multiple bites on his leg. Like, wait, what? Were they just gnawing at his leg while one had his leg was holding onto his leg? Multiple other ones were biting him?

No, wait, he got, like, slashed across the gut, didn't he? Oh, yeah, the gut. He got slashed in the gut. Yeah, he got slashed across the gut, didn't he? Oh, yeah, the gut. He got slashed in the gut. Yeah, he got slashed in the gut. So as they're trying to escape, he gets, like, slashed in the gut and becomes ultra-infected. So Indian guy basically has, like, ultra-zombie disease now. Yeah. And he's hurt, and they try to run through the desert and get away from this place.

They have water and stuff. They have a gun, like a pistol. And they only make it so far because their plan is to go to the mountains. Apparently what they heard, we forgot to mention this. Oh, yeah. During this discussion between the doctor and Littlefinger, there's a group of rebels in the mountains, I guess. Yeah.

And so they're trying to make it to the mountains because that's where they need to go. Yeah. Anyway, Indian Kid is just turning into a zombie and he's like, somebody kill me, please. And so they leave him the pistol and he shoots himself in the head. Yeah. Why'd they leave him their one gun?

Whatever. I don't know either. So then they managed to make it almost to the mountains, but right as they make it to the mountains, a giant massive lightning storm of death appears. Yeah. No rain. No anything. Just lightning.

The kids outrun a lightning storm. Yeah. They're running and running and running. Outrunning a lightning storm. It's like shit is going down. It is crazy. And they manage to find lights in an old factory or something like that. Like shit is going down It is crazy And they manage to find lights

In an old factory or something like that And when they get there This like sassy girl shows up First off when they get there they close the door Cause Mio gets struck by lightning And so they save his ass And he's like no I'm good bro I just got struck by lightning

Cause he's a badass Mio's the best And they enter this factory And in the factory is More the zombies but they're all tied up And a sassy girl shows up And she's like, hey, if you want to get through these Just follow me They're like, okay, so they follow her

And now they're in what appears to be Like Barter town for Mad Max Where there's a bunch of dudes around And they're like, hey, yeah, no We're Yeah. Where there's just a bunch of dudes around, and they're like, hey, yeah, no, we're looking for these people who live in the mountains, maybe a little help.

And she's like, well, I can take you to some guy, and she takes them upstairs, and they meet basically the Los Pollos Hermanos dude, Gus Frank from, oh, God, Breaking Bad. And he's like, hey, hermano, welcome to my little kingdom, and I could tell you about the people who live in the mountains, but instead, I'm gonna tie you up, like hang you upside down, hermano. Yeah. And you learn that he and this girl, who may or may not be his daughter, but it's like he takes care of her.

Sort of. I don't know if they run this mini town fort. It seems like they're in charge of it. Yeah, they don't have like a system that says he's in charge. Yeah, because they're just random dudes that are like, I'm going to kill these kids. So he was in charge of it. They probably, I don't even know. I couldn't even tell you.

So, of course, their plan is to sell them back to Wicked. And Gus Frang, I don't remember his name. We'll call him Gussie. Yeah. So Gus and this girl, they end up realizing that they totally goofed and try to save these kids. As Wicked shows up and proceeds to murder... Jose, was that his name? It's like Jose or something, yeah.

We'll call him Jose. So Jose... My apologies if that's not his name. So Jose and this girl, who we'll call Josetta, she... I don't know her name either. I wish I knew these characters' names! Short-haired girl.

Yeah, short-haired girl. Short Hair Girl. Yeah, Short Hair Girl. Short Hair Girl. And they basically manage to change their mind right when Wicked shows up. Because apparently Jose wants to go to the mountain camp as well. And Wicked shows up, starts shooting everybody. And Jose blows up the entire compound. With a record player. And kills, like, everybody. Yeah, with a record entire compound. With a record player. He kills, like, everybody.

Yeah, with a record player. He uses a record player. If you're lost right now, you should be. You should be lost. You should be lost. He blows up the building with a record player, and they manage to escape, but Short-Haired Girl and Thomas have to take a different way out.

Yeah. And so they end up in the sewer. And in the sewer, that's when you discover this is where all the zombies live, in the sewers beneath the old scorched earth. And the zombies are basically in their final form like that dude on the ship in Pirates of the Caribbean. Like, they basically become plants and, like, hang out on the walls. Yeah.

But when people come nearby, they're like, like, pop out on the walls but when people come nearby they're like like pop out of the walls yeah so they chase them down and they manage to run up to like in out of the sewers into an old building up into like the top of a skyscraper as zombies are chasing them and shit's falling and short-haired girl gets bit by a zombie in some way that I could not tell you. Yeah. A zombie attacks her, and she manages to fight him off. His mouth is near her face, but she has a bite mark on her leg. Yeah.

I could not tell you how that happened. I don't know. So apparently she's like, yeah, no, I'm just going to cover it up with a bandage. I'll be good. Like, oh, okay. Yeah. And so they escape this area, and now they're in a city don't know where the city came from don't know why there's a city here but somehow they're in a city and they're

looking for like uh mario or someone yeah they're looking for a dude who is going to be the one that jose was like yeah i can he's the one who knows how to get there so talk to him and so their assumption is we'll just meet up with everyone else there when they get there it's the one who knows how to get there, so talk to him. And so their assumption is we'll just meet up with everyone else there. When they get there, it's the guy who played Alan Tudyk. Is that his name? It's the guy. He's great. He was in Firefly, and he was King Candy, all that stuff.

So he shows up, and he's like a drug-dealing, drunk party man who has a crazy festival where people just get wasted on some crazy drink. There's a club in the middle of a town. End of the world club. So there are apparently towns in the wasteland, which is just sort of there.

It's like Mad Max. In this wasteland there are maybe a hundred people in this building. All young kids, all relatively hot, just bumping and grinding and getting their sex on. And they're just like, where's Mario? And where's our friends? And he's like, Mario's in the body pit, man. Yeah, he's dead, man.

They're like, he's in Ward B. And they're like, oh, well, what's in Ward B? They're like, that's where all the bodies are, man. And then he makes them drink in order to enter into the bar. And whatever they drank gives them crazy hallucinations, of course. Yeah. And what happens is he ends up kissing this girl. But then he only sees Teresa.

And he's like, I love Teresa, man. And this girl's like, whatever. And so he passes out and falls on the floor. And Alan Tudyk is laughing his ass off at him. And then it fades to black. Cut to another scene where Teresa and them save him. Yeah. And then Jose, or whatever his name is, is beating the shit out of Alan Tudyk.

And he's like, this is actually the guy we were looking for. He just played you all. And he's kicking the crap out of Alan Tudyk. And he's like, this is actually the guy we were looking for. He just played you all. And he's kicking the crap out of him. Yeah. And he's like, there's a pass in the mountains. If you go to the pass, that's where the rebels are. And he's like, good, we're stealing your car. So the dude has a car.

He's like the Joker or something when they're beating him up. And he's like. Yeah. The more bloody they make him, he's just laughing at him. Yeah. Because he's the more bloody they make him. He's just laughing at him. Yeah. Cause he's super drugged out. So they steal his car cause you know, whatever. And they drive up into the mountains and in the mountains, they discover that they're like, there are people up there.

They're shooting at them. Like they're snipers and they're about to surrender or no, they're about to retreat or try to retreat. And snipers come up from behind them. And then what do you know? It turns out it's the girls that used to be with Hoodie Guy. Yeah, in the maze. In the maze.

And so they're like, oh, my God, it's you, Hoodie Guy. And they give him, like, hugs. And by the way, by the way, whoever that blonde girl was, super hot. Super hot. I'm going to say that she's over 18. I don't know. Super hot. I'm not going to say that she's over 18. I don't know. Super hot. Whoever that girl is, actually the black chick, also super hot. He was put in a maze with

gorgeous women who, for living in a post-apocalypse, came out pretty well. Yeah, they did do pretty well. They were doing pretty well for themselves in the post-apocalypse. And so I guess they are part of this resistance. They take them up into the mountains.

And in the mountains, they meet the resistance head man who's just this guy like, hey, what are you doing? Get out of here. He's got like a shaggy gray beard and stuff. I didn't get to allow you kids here. We're going to kill you. What are you doing here? And, of course, a doctor shows up. And she's like, Thomas, is that you?

And he's like, do I know you? She's like, you're the reason why all this started. And apparently, Thomas, the reason why Thomas was in the maze in the beginning is because he and Teresa used to work for Wicked. And they decided to, well, he did. He decided to betray them because of all the crazy shit that went down. Yeah, like killing people in the maze and shit. Yeah, setting up the mazes. And so he decided to betray them and set up this resistance. And it was his idea.

And so everyone's like, what? You're the dude. And now they're all friends. Yeah. Basically. Well, of course all friends. Yeah. Basically. Well, of course, then other girl falls over and is succumbing to her zombie sickness. And they're like, what? You brought a zombie here?

And they're going to kill her. But the doctor's like, no, Thomas's blood can save her. Yeah. So they give her an injection. And literally they're like, it won't keep her alive forever, but it'll give her another three months. And I guess the assumption is if you can keep injecting her, she can stay alive forever. Well, again, that brings up a huge problem with, like, why are they just taking – if the kids want to help, why won't you let them help? Why are you just trying to take their essence or whatever?

It doesn't make any sense. anyway after that jose or whatever his name is is like hey i'm gonna take this girl and we're gonna leave and like go off on an adventure or some shit yeah which again makes no sense because it means the blood then anyway like uh remember in the insurgent or that her like brother or the guy was like they're out in the apocalypse or whatever. And he's like, all right, I'm going to go now. And they're just like,

all right, bye. Yes. Yes. It makes no sense. Like, wait, why,

why are you leaving? Yeah. So they're going to just like go and, and whatever. Anyway, everyone's happy. Everything's good. The world is,

is, is wonderful. And then it turns out that uh actually actually we might have gotten that wrong what so i don't know if it's either they were gonna leave or the group was gonna leave and they were gonna stay behind uh oh yeah maybe it was one of the two yeah anyway it doesn't matter because what happens then is theresa is like up on a cliff by herself staring longingly into the distance yeah and everyone's happy like hoodie kid is flirting with two girls it's all great yeah thomas goes talk to therese and she's like thomas i remember everything i

remember when my mom got the disease and like she goused out her own eyes cause she was going crazy and I just want to help people. So PS I called wicked. Yeah. Right then like a million D helicopters show up. Yeah. And they're like, no. And they start launching rockets at the camp and everyone's just getting

murderfied. And the main camp guy with his beard gets this giant machine gun. And before he can even get started, they like knock out him and all the kids. thomas is like hiding but he's hiding with um uh gus and uh short hair girl and and he's like get out of here this isn't your fight they just want me and they're like what are you doing he's like get out of here and he's like i'll never forget you hermano and they leave and And Thomas goes out, but he has the C4 from earlier

in the movie, which we forgot to tell you about. He has C4, and he's basically going to blow himself up. So he goes down, meets with all the people, and gets captured. They don't check him for C4 apparently. Whatever. And that's when the giant helicopter

lands, and it's the doctor and she's like ah thomas you son of a bitch and so they're gonna kill all the the non-essential people and then take all the kids back she's like thomas you have to understand i'm doing this for your own good and he's like you're killing those kids man and then little finger thomas they're gonna spare us little finger like comes up to him and he's like hey Thomas He just like uppercuts him in the gut Yeah so Thomas is just like Nah bro nah I'd rather die And then like all his friends gather around him

Like yeah we'd rather die They're gonna blow them all up And right as they're about to do it It's like Essentially like And Gus and the girl No Gus and the truck by himself like this giant truck out of nowhere, drives through like a helicopter and like just fuck shit up. Yeah.

And then the girl is up on a hill with like a sniper rifle just like picking people off. And Teresa and Blonde Girl for some reason decide to go back with them. Yeah. Like they all get in this helicopter. Blonde Girl just gave up. She's like, yeah, no, I'm totally in. Blonde Girl, you broke my heart. I they all get in this helicopter. Blonde girl just gave up. She's like, yeah, no, I'm totally in. Blonde girl, you broke my heart. I loved you.

I loved you, blonde girl. And they decide to go back with them. And they get like in this thing and everyone else is fighting like. And Miho gets zapped with like the electric stun gun. Yeah. And they take him back and they're like, no, Miho. And it's all emotional and gun. Yeah. And they take him back. And they're like, no, Mio! And it's all emotional and stuff. Yeah.

And they manage to fly away. And the resistance basically is like kind of defeated. It's very Empire Strikes Back. Yeah. And at the end, with Mio gone and betrayed by Teresa, Tom gives this big speech of like, you know, we got to fight back. I'm tired of running. I've been running my entire life.

And, you know, crazy bearded guy is like, yeah, I'm in. And then the kids are like, yeah, we're in too. And like, hoodie dude and like sexy black chick, they're like, yeah, we're in. And then he's like, I've got an idea. And then just cuts to black. Yeah. He's like, I know how we're going to beat them. They're like, nice, dude.

Yeah. And that's it. That's how the movie ends. And it's like, see you in the third one. Yeah. I don't know what's even happening in the series anymore. I don't either. It's like Divergent, but better and crazier.

Yes. It is a better, it's a more tolerable version of Divergent. Yes. Although, with that said, Divergent is freaking bonkers. Also, my apologies to people who I said it would only take 15 minutes. It took much longer to talk about. Yeah. I can't even, like, it's so ridiculous.

It's such an over-the-top movie that I can't even describe it. It's so silly. Yeah. And now, like, I don't even know what's gonna happen in the third one. You know what's gonna happen? No, I don't know. Oh, neither do I. I haven't even looked up. I would say that I went and looked up what happens in Divergent because I didn't know if I wanted

to sit through more movies of it after the first one. Yeah. But I do not know. I do not know what happens in Maze Runner. And I'm okay with that because after the first one was so silly and weird, the second one was so over the top and crazy, I can only imagine what the third one will be. Yeah. Because they're going to go fight an organization that has monsters

and crazy shit. I know. And Teresa has to become a good guy, right? Unless she gets eaten by a monster, which I'm okay with, because she betrayed everyone. Yeah. Oh my god, if she gets killed by a monster, that'd be crazy. I like how

but it's a different monster. They're like, out in the scorch, there's other monsters. Alright, I need to go look this up. Yeah, we gotta look this up. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Maze Runner series. How many books are in this Oh my god are you kidding me What

What What There are five books in this series What No that's like No Maze Runner Wait okay Wait the fever code What? No, that's like, no. He's a maze runner.

Wait, okay. Wait, the fever code. Fever, here's the thing. Fever code isn't out yet, I don't think. The fever code isn't out yet. 26, oh my god, look at this. Alright, so here's the thing. Thomas is the main character of book one through three and makes a minor appearance in book four.

Mio is one through three. Newt, Gally, one through, So all these different things, right? Yeah. Jansen, aka Ratman, is books two and three. Jorge was his name, not Jose. Oh, Jorge. Jorge. That's who it was. Sonia. Alright, so anyway, book

four has a bunch of characters. Book four is called The Kill Order. It has Mark, Alec, Trina, and Lana. What? And another character that I don't want to spoil for people who are interested. And then it's like book five are the old characters again. The Kill Order is the prequel. Before Wicked was formed, before the Glade was built, before Thomas entered the maze,

sun flares hit the earth and mankind fell to disease that's the kill order so the third book is the end of it but then the kill order is what happened before everything then the fifth book might be like all right i need to look this up the all right main article so the next movie is called the death cure and here's the thing it's in an icy world. Yeah, I'm looking at the cover Maybe it's super in the mountains then if it's in some getting a prequel Oh, and then there's the fever code is another prequel, but that's about Thomas and Teresa and all them So it's like the second prequel Yeah

and a spider crawled up on her shoulder, and she freaked out so badly that she jumped out of the car, a moving car, rolled on the ground, forgot that her nine-year-old kid was in the back seat. What? The car rolls down the driveway. The kid jumps to the front seat, tries to stop the car, but puts his foot on the accelerator, drives backwards into traffic, hits a school bus.

What? Nobody's hurt. Remarkably, nobody's hurt. What? That shit cray. Just because she got scared of a spider and freaked out and jumped out of her car. That's insane. She was so scared of a spider,
