They're just a bunch of movies while they makin' the grade Here's a real question for ya, how did this kid pay? Hello people of Earth! And hello, people of Nantucket! We are live at the Nantucket Film Festival to talk about one of the most important shark films ever made. That's right, the 2012 film Bait, which was shot in 3D. If you're wondering, we are in the Skonsa Casino, which is not a casino, but we're not asking questions about that. If

you've not seen Bait, this is what you need to know. A freak tsunami traps shoppers at a coastal Australian supermarket, and inside the building are two 12-foot great white sharks. That's right. And now they must survive. As the tagline calls it, clean up on aisle seven because a tsunami just flipped the food chain. Here to break down tonight's film is my co-host, Mr. Jason Manzoukas.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. What's up jerks? That's right. Here we go Nantucket. Oh, wow. What the? Get comfortable.

Too comfortable. You're on my porch. We'll be having a mint julep in just a moment. Yeah. This is? Get comfortable. This is too comfortable. You're on my porch. We'll be having a mint julep in just a moment. Yeah, this is a very comfortable. Get me a Mantugget Nectar ASAP. Oh my gosh. Oh man, it's been, while you've been in here, I lost 10 grand at the blackjack table.

Oh my gosh. That is not a functioning blackjack. There is a blackjack table back there at this casino that I am bankrupting myself at. Don don't worry we don't have air conditioning but that's not a problem because this movie will cool you down I'm I mean it's a lot of you you asked earlier how many people had watched the movie and it's mattering of applause but then those of you who didn't watch the movie just watch the trailer and aren't you like we fucked up? Dreamland?

Holy shit we fucked up. Or are you like thank God we didn't watch that. Dreamland movie theater we worship you for playing this on Saturday for five dollars. Did you ask how many people were at the Dreamland? Yeah how many people went to the Dreamland? Yeah! Look at that nice. Good work Donic. Jason have you ever seen Bait before? Oh of course I've seen it all the time. No! I've never seen this before,

and I wish I hadn't seen it this time. What an absolute nightmare this was, to be in a picturesque, beautiful New England town all day and instead be sitting in the hotel watching this movie on an iPad? No, thank you. Jason, it is a classic film. I mean, it really is. It's up there with all the great horror.

Oh, Casablanca! Yes! Yes, Chinatown! 2001! Bait! Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my other co-host, the lovely June Diane Rayfield. Welcome June, how are you? I'm okay, hi. Rowdy. Oh, it's so nice.

All the oxygen being pumped into the casino, you can just kind of wake you up real quick. That's so nice. June, you watched bait with our seven-year-old son. Okay. Okay. Okay. So when we arrived on Nantucket, Paul said, let's show the kids jaws. And I said, that's crazy.

They're going to be terrified to go in the water and so I showed them bait. I love it. I love it. They need to know. They need to know. They need to see. Well first of all our seven-year-old came in late in the movie so I didn't show the beginning and but then he came in and he saw he saw things you know he saw things. you know? He saw things that he'll never unsee. But he missed all the romance? He missed all the romance in the beginning. Oh, that's too bad. But when I tell you he laughed.

Ha ha ha ha! Every scene where I was like... Theatrically? Every... Like a villain? Huge laughs. And I thought, oh, this is going to terrify him. I shouldn't be doing this, but I'm too lazy to get up.

And every time I thought this was gonna really scare him and scar him, he would laugh hysterically. Oh, yeah. So, yeah. There's nothing in this movie that I think could scare anyone. Mainly because it's all CGI and CGI that is so bad. I would say that even a seven-year-old understands

that everybody in this movie deserves to die. Here's the reality. We're trapped in this grocery store, and it's a joining parking structure with, after a tsunami... You mean the car park? The car park, yes. After this tsunami, which is unquestionably

just absolutely total to the coastline, is wreaking havoc for the people involved, and we're stuck with these fucking idiots. I wish every one of them had died minute one. I would have just watched another hour and a half of the sharks eating, happily, because these people were all dumber than the next. It's an anti-Australian ad.

It's like, don't come to Australia. We're full of terrible people. There are sharks even in our supermarkets. Not just in the water, but even our supermarkets are shark-infested. By the way, that is something, just to jump to the plot of the movie, that there's a tsunami, the sharks get in the supermarkets are shark-infested. By the way, that is something, just to jump to the plot of the movie, that there's a tsunami, the sharks get in the supermarkets, they're trapped in there.

That's the movie. But why didn't they consider feeding the sharks with the- All the dead bodies. Or the grocery items? Sure. Oh, there's huge, there's half, there's multiple half cows. There's so much meat. Multiple slabs of beef.

There's aisles of meat. And they have so much more access, seemingly to duct tape. Flashlights. Like cordage, ropes. So much rope, so much rope they have. I didn't know that. Just go grab this half of a thing of beef.

And then also, there are so many dead bodies. Surround yourselves with dead bodies. Let the grab this half of a thing of beef. And then also there are so many dead bodies. Surround yourselves with dead bodies. Let the sharks chomp on them while you walk right out. You know what? I actually, when I was watching this, because there are so many dead bodies floating by at all times, I actually thought, oh, they're everywhere.

And I thought, oh, I guess sharks don't like dead bodies. Like then I was like, oh, that's a new fact about sharks. They don't eat dead bodies. Well, they have a moment in it where they're like, I guess they like live bait. And I'm like, I don't think that's part of it. I don't think the sharks are like, I'd like a challenge. Yeah, I don't think that they are that discerning

of an eater considering they just, they're really engulfing it wholesale. I mean, the movie opens up with a very dramatic opening. Two lifeguards are out at the beach And and they well yes one of them is engaged we'll get to it But there is to it a shark basically does what a dolphin might do to a ball and comes up underneath like a Surfboard or a little sea do and pops the lifeguard up in the air.

The lifeguard's getting eaten. Our hero comes out to rescue him and then basically creates a hook. Like he doesn't try to pull him out of the water. He just scoops him up and holds him still for the shark to eat him in half. At which point his engagement is over because the person he's gonna get married to is like, you're a terrible person, I should not marry you. Well, no, that's his brother-in-law. Well, that's his brother-in-law. Well, I know.

That's meant to be his best friend and his brother-in-law, but he can't forgive himself. I think she can't forgive him either. We never really know. What I will point out, I'm not sure if everyone saw this who saw the movie, but we cut to 12 months... You're welcome.

We cut to 12 months later. So this horrible event has happened where a man, a fellow lifeguard has been killed by a shark. And 12 months later, our hero is looking at his bulletin board and... Oh, I wrote this. You wrote this down too? Yeah. And we see a University of Singapore acceptance letter.

Oh, I missed that. You didn't see that. So, and he's posted it to his bulletin board, so I thought, oh, I wonder if every dream really has been deferred because of this event or he's just reminding himself like it's time to go in the fall. Well I, what I was... No, because she's in Singapore. I know, but he's been accepted.

Right. And so he, now they have broken up. And they're, again, the movie starts as if it is like a, like expansive, you know, town wide, there's a shark attack, multiple people are killed, the lifeguards are engaged, it's big, it has scale and scope. And then it's 12 months later, and our hero, who looks an awful lot like Australian Logan from Gilmore Girls,

or Carrie from Good Wife. If you know him as Carrie from Good Wife, I know him as both, I prefer to call him Australian Logan from Gilmore Girls. He is now working in the supermarket, and the rest of the movie, another, this it this movie seems to like this guy is being Followed by sharks. Well, but I don't get him at they get it everywhere. He works sharks are like we're here, bro We're here. Here's you eat people at your work

Expect us the sharks have something out for him but I also want to just follow the the travel of like his Like his downfall because on the bulletin board what I noticed was the article that said lifeguard killed Not the obituary of his friend, but like the article of the like it's like if you had a friend who was Mentioned he was probably mentioned. He was probably mentioned. Okay, yeah, so he likes that. He probably clipped it because he was like,

oh, I got mentioned in this article about saving my friend's corpse. And so the downfall we're supposed to see is this lifeguard, his career spirals to just being a supermarket manager, assistant manager. And then a tsunami happens to him. Like, imagine all of the things that happened to this one guy. Wait, wait, wait and then a tsunami happens to him. Like imagine all

of the things that happen to this one guy. Wait, before the tsunami, an armed robbery happens in this supermarket. So much is happening on that day. How much money are you getting from a supermarket? So much. They open the safe and it's empty. guys have bad information we heard they got all the banana money in today we're gonna go rob them it's it's nip-tuck right this is nip-tuck yes I can't remember his name his name is to me nip-tuck okay so I thought I have to admit that when the movie started I thought oh it's a bunch of Australians doing American accents. Right. Okay, and then as it went on, I thought,

no, it's a bunch of Americans doing Australian accents. It was such a hot pot. I believe it's a little of both. Well, yes. It's a little bit of both. Because we were talking about, NipTuck is Julian McMahon, and he is doing an American accent, and I will show you how bad his American accent is here.

Is he doing an American accent? Very much so. Well watch this and you'll see it. Think about it. You bust your ass in here eight hours a day, seven days a week. I also think that's ADR'd. I don't think that that's his real voice but here we go. You'll probably hump away like that for the next 40 years.

So whatever way you cut it, this place was going to kill you. Now it's just sooner rather than later. He's having a McConaughey. Lighter. Like it's crazy. Son of a lighter. Here's the thing though. I also just really, I had a major issue with this presumption

he makes that our grocery store manager is destined to die at the hands of his job. Like, how dare you? They could, yeah. How dare you? You have no idea what this man's dreams are, what kind of hustles he's working on the side, or if he just enjoys the life of a grocery manager.

No, most grocery store managers sign a 40 year contract. It's the way it goes. If you want, you gotta commit. You gotta commit to the hobby. This movie feels like it's the final destination movie. It feels like the sharks were like, we didn't get you in the water. We're coming to where you are now.

Like, it's inevitable. We are inevitable. Can I say something? What did you think though? Here's what I thought was different about this movie and I will give it. Give it up to this movie? I will give. Is it that the sharks were the most interesting and compelling characters? You know, no, it was that I will give this to Bait. There were sharks, plural. Oh yeah. I really, yes, I was like, oh I don't think I've seen a movie like this where we are focused on two different sharks.

If that's your biggest takeaway of what makes this movie good. So cool. So cool that this movie had two sharks. And they were so different. An upstairs shark and a downstairs shark. One in the car park. What we've got here is we've got an upstairs shark,

we also have a downstairs shark, not to brag. And both seeming equally enraged and out for blood. Oh, yeah. Well, because they're sharks. But not interested in eating any of the literal hundreds of water-soaked corpses that are floating in both sets of water. Not interested in those. They would like to jump up on top of cars, if possible,

to try and get the dog. You know what people never say in this movie? Shark. They just say, get out of the water. Both times. When sharks are there, he's screaming, get out of the water, get out of the water. Anytime the shark comes closer, get out of the water, get out of the water.

He never switches to shark. It's almost like you're not allowed to say shark, like you're not allowed to say fire. That would make me move. And I will say in the opening scene of this movie, he is on the beach while his brother, soon to be brother-in-law, is out in the water about to be eaten by a shark.

And one of the lifeguard screams, get out of the water, like code something or other. He could not move any slower. Yeah. Well, he's hungover. Yeah, because it was his engagement party because he is going to be married to this guy's sister. Tina, let's call her by her name. Thank you. Tina. Josh and Tina. I'm trying to call her by my married to this guy's sister. And Tina. Tina.

Let's call her by her name. Thank you. Tina. Josh and Tina. I'm trying to call her by my name, but that's okay. Josh and Tina, Romeo and Juliet, they just go. Oh, star-crossed lovers? Yes, they are.

I mean, this is, but they try to put so many different people in this supermarket. You have a robber in the supermarket. You have the guy who is like. Maybe you have two. Two. Oh yeah. You have two sharks and two criminals- Maybe you have two. Two. Oh yeah. You have two sharks and two criminals.

Man, so you're telling me Nip Tuck has never seen his bank robbing partner's face? That guy only has, cause that guy's there the whole time. No, because Nip Tuck, here's what's so crazy, the fact that they put all of this into the movie. Nip Tuck establishes in the car that he is there because he's being blackmailed by the other guy.

Oh, I missed that. Am I right? Audience, anyone who saw this movie, thank you. One last job. Yes, it's his one last job. We're gonna get $150 and then you're out. You don't owe me anymore. Once we get that.

When your one last job is a super, when your one last job is a superma... When your one last job is, like, I'm telling you, we're gonna hit the stop-and-shop, and then we're out of here. Everything's gonna be golden. If we can, we're gonna knock over the Osco drug. Then we're gonna hit the White Hen pantry. Well, I do... I do think crime...

These are New England specifics. Crime in this movie is bizarre because there's a girl who steals sunglasses, and they treat her like she's stolen thousands of dollars. Like, finally. I gotcha. For supermarket sunglasses? How much is that? And some toiletries. Well, the supermarket, we're so focused.

Again, I don't need the tsunami story to be from the point of view of the people who are trapped in this supermarket. I wish we had like, like watch them all die and then pulled out and gotten to interesting people. No, interesting. Nantucket loves this, this cat. OK. What you what you're right about is there is there's one supermarket worker, I No? Interesting. Nip Tuck loves this cow. Okay.

What you're right about is there is, there's one supermarket worker, I can't remember her name. You can. She seems to have a story that we never get into. We never saw. I don't know if it was left on the editing room floor, but she ends up with Nip Tuck at the end. Yes. They seem to have a chemistry. Yes. She is used as live bait, but the funniest part, we know nothing about this woman. We see her briefly in the beginning,

doing her job, restocking, whatever. We don't know a single thing. And the best time to fall in love is during a shark attack. Always. Always. But my favorite thing was when Nip Tuck asks her, because before the tsunami hits, a woman is murdered in the Stop and Shop.

Yeah. Murdered in cold blood. Killed. Execution style. For the wealth of that supermarket's daily taste. And these aren't even Nantucket prices. It's not like they had to ship all this stuff over to Nantucket, and it's at a premium. They're not paying $6 for a bag of chips.

Real story. Get it together. My favorite- Grow your own chips. My favorite thing about this movie is that this poor woman, again, we don't learn a thing about her. We don't know what she likes. We don't know what she dislikes.

And then in the middle of the movie, she's on top of one of the aisle things and our good criminal nip-tuck says, hey, did you know Julie, the woman who was murdered? And she goes, yeah, but I didn't know her very well. We weren't friends. It's like, wow, we couldn't even, the movie wouldn't let this poor woman even have a connection. You'd like, grieve a friend.

Grieve a friend, like, give this actress something. She should be dead. But from a- You know something. I'm horny and about to die from sharks, so good luck, Julie, get out of here. From a screenwriting perspective, it's an odd choice. So right, because it's sort of like, do you know her?

No, or yes. Not kind of. She said I knew her, but not well. Not well. I mean, I know her face, but I don't know her name. She has like the cool key chain. I always say, oh, nice key chain. And she's like, oh, thanks.

But you know, that's all I know her from. It's such a weird non-decision decision. I would have loved it if everybody who talked about Julie was like, she had a son. Just like heartbreaking specifics. Like, real sad specifics. Because that guy, the creepy guy, the guy who ends up being revealed to be

the murderous robber from before, who we think is dead, but he's now been alive with our crew the whole time, he mysteriously doesn't talk for like an hour and 15 minutes of the movie. And then when he does talk, I'm like, oh, this movie has a quint from Jaws. This movie has a straight lunatic in it, and it's this guy and everything he's saying.

He's like, Shocks are only curious about one thing if we're food or not. Now that is an Australian accent that you cannot have any problems with. No, it's perfect. Did you do the dialect coaching for the movie? Listen, I worked with the Hemsworths. I'm not gonna say which one.

Really, wow, all right. All of them, I worked with all the Hemsworths. Chad Hemsworth, the fifth Hemsworth. I'm trying to get into movies too. Here's a question, again so many questions about this supermarket but You don't even want to go to the car park? I'm not ready to go to the car park. What's going on in the car park is so nuts. There's a movie happening upstairs and then there's a spoof movie of that movie happening downstairs.

That's absolutely right. It's a spoof movie. Yes, it's a scary movie. It's the scary movie to the scream upstairs. Absolutely. Oh gosh, the car park. And by the way, everything insane that's happening at the car park before the tsunami hits is happening at, I would say roughly 10 a.m.

Yeah. So know that people are having sex, people are pulling out like machine guns, people are getting ready to stage an armed robbery. And this is all happening in broad daylight, lots of lights. It's not a dark car park. All I want is the car that they drive that's parked in the car park that does not leak at all.

They stay in this car like it's an airtight chamber. And they're cutting from the chaos of upstairs into the joke scene that is them in a hermetically sealed car like, babe, what's going on, man? And she's like, and it's so crazy in juxtaposition to what's happening upstairs, because you are constantly seeing people upstairs get chomped in half. And in here, you have two dumb blondes and a small dog.

Like, they have a dog who is a very big part of this movie. Are you referring to Bully? Yes. Bully played by... Bully played by three different Pomeranians. One for swimming, one for barking, and one for running. Oh, my God. A lot of, I will say, and this is, again, I know you said for people to,

when we ask for things to not be said, please don't say it or repeat it, but a lot of parts that I've played have also been played by three Pomeranians Let's think I really do want to understand where were you both net out on bullies attempted murder So there's a scene in this movie. Yeah, where this guy one of the bonds the main blonde is

swimming toward a car holding bully and the shark is headed toward him and his girlfriend. And he throws bully toward the shark. No, away from him. Away from him, but toward the shark. Away from him to divert the shark, yes. Do you think a shark is going to be diverted by a Pomeranian? That's like a steak and an olive.

Here's what I'm willing to say. Well, I want to go after the steak. Here's what I'm willing to say. I would have done the same full stop. I would absolutely have thrown the dog as far away from me as possible in hopes that the shark would go after it. Absolutely. I don't even think the shark registers it.

Everybody on this panel is a dog lover. Let's be very clear. Honestly, I would cut the dog open so that it bleeds. I would cut, even if it was my dog and I loved it, I would cut it open to chum the water to distract the 12-foot great white shark that is now inhabiting the parking garage where I live? The movie sets up, the movie posits that this guy now needs to die, must die.

Because he threw the dog in the water. Well, they try to kill this guy immediately. The first time we meet him, before a parking lot is flooded with water, before they're in death's grip, he takes the dog and just chucks it in the back seat, just like throws that dog in the back back and then writes something dirty in a text message at the girl like the girl is having yeah so the girl is having a text message and he takes her phone and then types in I guess the equivalent of wanna fuck but he doesn't say it to her and she's like oh you're

dirty and like but he sent that to someone. Oh, did he? Well, who was she texting? I thought he just wrote it and didn't send it. I don't know. But also, who cares about any of what... I couldn't... Again, these are people that should have died immediately. Yeah, they still were alive. We wanted them to die.

Justice for Bully. I'm glad that Bully makes it out alive, but I would have liked it if in the movie we were with Bully for the whole movie. The character point of view of the dog while the dog watches everybody else foolishly get killed. I will say Bully is a thousand percent the most interesting character in the movie. And the most emotionally realized.

If Bully would have killed. And the best performed. Well, because there's three of them. I mean, now there's only two nip tucks. One that did talking, one that did swimming. The moment, though, where Bully... We realize Bully's actually not dead, even though he's been thrown in the water as chum,

and he floats by on, I think, a surfboard. It was the first... It was the only moment in the movie where I went, ah! I was so relieved and excited and surprised. I was like, that's filmmaking. Yep, that's on display here at the Nantucket Film Festival. Let's, uh...

Filmmaking, that's what we're talking about. Like bait. What's, gin mark? Let's take a look at the dumb blondes. I can't see anything. Just keep calm, babe. We have to get out of this car. I can't stay here much longer.

What? You're underwater. What? You're underwater. Give me your shoes. He's brain scrambled. Excuse me? Well, I need something with a point to break the windscreen.

Give me your shoes. Are you crazy? These are $300 Gucci. Oh, they're gonna get wet anyway. Just give me your shoes. No! Hannah, I give- I'm not giving you my Gucci.

They're not Gucci. Um, Clue, you gave them to me for Christmas last year, and you said that they were $300 Gucci's. Um, Clu, I know I did, and they're not. Oh. You bought... I want to say something that's going to be mean. Now you're like, oh, we fucked up. We should have watched it. I want to say something that's mean, but why not?

It's watching these two, when you shoot a movie, you often have stand-ins, right? They kind of look like the actors in the scenes, and whenever I watch them, I was like, oh, these are the stand-ins for the two other people. For Anna Faris and for Chris Pratt. And Chris Pratt. This is their scene, But when they heard...

This is like, go get first team. And they're like, they're not here. Oh, they never got on the flight. So we'll just shoot it with these guys. We'll use the stand-ins. No one will know. But here's the thing. The emotional reality of this scene is that every person in their life is probably dead from the tsunami. They're all their family members. Do they even know about the tsunami? Everybody they know. Dude, they're under six feet of water.

They could have thought it was a water main break. No one knows. They're acting as if they're not, in fact, completely submerged in water, and there is not a leak in the car. They should at the very least be like, this is crazy. This is crazy.

What kind of car is this? We're so lucky. By the way, it should be. How is this even possible? It should have been like brand placement. Like, Fords are great. They never leak when you're submerged in the water. If you would think.

But this is a movie where oftentimes you have these moments where you're like, oh, my cell phone's not working. Who are you going to call? Yeah. You're trapped. Yeah, you're trapped.

Yeah. And a tsunami has hit. Oh, yeah. That's it. There's nobody. When they pull back at the end, when they finally, spoiler alert for those who didn't watch it, some of them make it out, when they finally do, the world is decimated. Yeah.

And it makes every conversation these morons have had in the upstairs and the downstairs seem absolutely foolish times a million. The tragedy that is before them is staggering. And they don't learn from it. They're like, what does this all mean? Means we get a second chance. What?

Everyone is dead. And you're like, whoa, finally. Everyone you know is dead. Yeah, like, we can find, like, where is this gonna pay off? There is some, there's no emotion attached to, the world is over. They are able to, this is what is like, wild to me about the movie, is there is,

there's so much opportunity for the surviving people to make general, make efforts that will help them survive long term be found do all sorts of things they somehow have the resources to create a shark suit okay shark suit cage around one of the people that is weighted so he can walk on the bottom of the supermarket's flood. Well Jason hold on. The shark suit cage is made out of a grocery cart and we'll show you what this looks like here. This is some 18 bullshit right here. This is like this is the 18. This is when did they construct this? How long have they been there?

This must have taken days to put together. I mean they have bent it They have put sponges in to protect his shoulders the ability to make this they have the ability to escape is what I would say Yeah, this suit is absolutely insane and he's gonna use this as a diving suit. Yes, they have, they have managed, they have managed to make it such that he can breathe underwater in a supermarket. Using elements from the supermarket, he's going to breathe underwater. This is like the, he's got a diving bell. They've created a diving bell. He has cans of beer attached to his feet to weight him down.

Now here's a flaw. And for those of you who haven't seen the movie, this man dies. This is this man dies. But why did he die? Not because he was eaten by a shark. Because he runs out of air. Because he saves the day and then is too heavy to get to the surface.

That broke my heart. That broke my heart. He also goes underwater to turn off the power, which is underwater, which means he would be electrocuted and dead. Everybody should be electrocuted times a million in the movie. Yes, the water is, if you're turning off a power box

underwater, you're going to be electrocuted. It's just so hard because I was also heartbroken that he died, but I, and I want, not that I wanted to be heartbroken, but it was, it was hard. His was the loss that I was like, oh. Yeah. And also one of the reasons why he can't get to the air is because there's not a full shopping cart, but one of the like half little baskets you bring. Yeah.

You know, it's on his head and he can't get it off. And it was so funny. They used zip ties. They zip tied him into a death trap. It was so funny. These people are straight up murderers. They are more inventive than the shark. Now there's this element of this guy in that he kind of has to go because he's the new

boyfriend of our hero, Australian Logan from Gilmore Girls, his ex-fiance, whose brother died in the opening scene, so now they're estranged, they haven't seen each other in over a year, and so this is her new boyfriend, and so he's gotta go. But then before he goes, he says to our hero, don't worry, we never even fucked. We never even fucked because she's... She can't get over you, so I guess I'll go die now. I'm gonna... I'm gonna heroically drown having not gotten laid in the last year.

Come on, my guy. What is happening? I could... That rocked happening? That rocked me. That rocked me. I also don't know why... Don't worry, we never dot, dot, dot, he says. What? I wanted our lead actor to be

weird. Um, okay. Go, like, it's like, how do you receive that information? Thank you, brother. Thank you. Also, like, she did care about him. We saw her care about him. We saw her well up when she realized he was still alive. So then to see her.

Well, she's welling up because she's like, damn it. I'm stuck with this guy now. Josh? Yeah. Well, she wants to get back with her old flame. And she's like, oh, this guy's alive. I thought I had a new start. That's why these people are psychotic.

They're like, oh, finally the world is over so I can just have a new start. What's crazy is new boyfriend, her new boyfriend, they have this whole idea they're gonna do where they're gonna figure out how to distract the shark and then somebody's gonna go and turn off the power and he says, I have an idea. It's his idea to create the underwater walking suit,

which is not a good idea. It leads to his death to be clear. So it's a bad idea. That being said, he's the character that I want to survive the most. Me too. Everybody else who died, I was like, yeah, get the fuck out of here.

But him, I was like, oh man, I like this guy. Again, I wanna go back to the good nip tuck guy, good nip tuck villain. Is seemingly like, I don't know how he got involved, why he needs a last job. We don't know what his crimes are. Doesn't at one point he say that guy's clean? I thought at one point he was the older brother

of our hero Josh. Wow. I thought, no thought he was the father. I don't think so. The policeman is the father of the shoplifter. That's right. It seemed like whatever he had done in the past that he was being blackmailed for was connected to someone in the grocery store. Okay, someone says yes. I don't know that that... Oh I love that we're trying to figure this out. But I don't know that that's... When we figure it out it's gonna be unsatisfying. All I'll say is this though, for a guy who is clean, for a guy who is being on the straight and narrow, he has no trouble putting a giant hook through another man's body and using him as bait. Now I understand that guy is bad, but

that's a, again, these people are more inventive in brutality. He has harpooned that man. Yes. He's able, once again, they are on the top. This movie is all about parkour. They're all on the top. This entire supermarket has flooded completely

up until the very top of the, they're on the top of the freezers or the aisle end. And we all know that grocery supermarkets have about 25 foot ceilings, so this is fine. So they have only what's accessible at the top of the supermarket, freezers and stuff like that, but they are able to construct the shark suit. He's able to construct a full harpoon with a chef's knife and then he just chucks it at the bad guy and it goes away with him. Like he never has that harpoon again. Like everything they're able to build, again, A-Team style is incredible and then completely tossed away as if like, well, it didn't matter anyway. Like if you told me the movie took place over two full weeks, I would believe you.

Right. Rather than I think the movie thinks it takes place in like 24 hours I was gonna say the movie takes place about 87 minutes. I Also, I am I mean we already brought this up, but I am starting to really wonder why this supermarket sells so much rope Yes, so much rope so much rope. They have cordage be all they have all the cordage They have yeah, it was like there was a survival aisle. Like, here's dairy, here's meat, here's frozen stuff, and then survival. I was going to say, that's just Australia. I think it's where there's rope in every supermarket,

and tasers can electrocute a 12-foot great white shark. He takes a police-issue regular taser and just kills a shark with it. Absolutely not. No. There's no way that single taser is able to destroy a full shark. No way. Come on.

That's like, unless the Australian... It's like, this is their version of the crocodile dundee. That's not a knife. I'll show you a knife. That's not a taser. This is a taser. I know... I know I'm really stuck on the two sharks of it all and the upstairs, downstairs of it all, but I did really wish...

Do you think it is upstairs, downstairs? Do you think it's the aristocracy shark is upstairs... A little bit. ...and the servant shark is downstairs? Well, the servant shark goes first, and... The valet, the shark valet. I did wonder, like, oh, a better... This is my only note for the movie, otherwise it was perfect.

Otherwise flawless. No notes. But I wish those two sharks had met each other. Dialogue? Yeah, had met each other at one point. Wow, this is crazy, right? We're just like swimming in the ocean and now we're like trapped in a supermarket. I know, weird, right?

What are they going to talk about? I think the sharks are like, we need to get out of here. Like, they're nuts. Oh know, weird, right? What are they gonna talk about? I think the big sharks are like, we need to get out of here. They're not- Oh no, why would they? They are feasting. At no point does anybody say like, I don't think they're coming after us

because they're full. They've eaten so many of us now. Here's the other thing. I understand in a tsunami, the water flies in, right? But rushes out first. Okay, rushes out first. Okay, rushes out.

It goes all the way out and then comes. And by the way, we never find out what happens to the surfer who ran out as the water's receding. Right. Who is like, awesome. Is he okay? Yeah.

Who is like stoked. What an indictment of Australian surf culture. But the idea being like the water. Oh cool, tsunami, let's go. The water would come out, but why is the water trapped in a supermarket that's not underground? I understand the car park, the water should have just receded. You think it should have receded back right away? Yeah.

Well, from the upstairs, from the first floor. Yeah, from the upstairs. Absolutely. That's... Okay, so here's another thing that's happening. So many stakes, there's criminals, there's a lot going on even after the tsunami. One of the things that they set up and never pay off

is that actually the water is rising. Yes. So I thought, oh, for sure, this is gonna be the ticking clock of the movie, that they need to get out of there before the water tick, tick, tick goes up. It never does. No, and that only seems to matter to them

when the rising water may hit the exposed electrical current. Which, by the way, if there has been a tsunami, the grid is down. Yeah. I suspect the grid is down. There has been a tsunami that has conservatively killed millions. From based on those last shots shots Australia is done Dunzo

I want to show you this over and and the right every Hemsworth Dunzo goodbye Let's go to the audience see what the audience has any questions people who've seen the movie Yeah, that's good question before we go to the police When the shark when the upstairs shark is swimming around for a period of time, does it have a baby on its head? No. There's something on its head. It's a woman.

It's a woman. And it's a woman I believe we clocked in the grocery store. Yeah, she was an extra. Is it like a hood ornament or is it like fuzzy dice in the mirror for a shark? For a while it seemed like I kept seeing like what I thought was a baby swimming around.

And I was like, oh, that's fucked up. But okay, this movie's pretty grizzly. It does seem like the shark is wearing her. That's what I mean. Yeah. Almost like the shark is like, trust me, I'm a baby. Cause I thought they were gonna be like, oh my God, we gotta save that baby,

only to get chomped by the shark. Because this seems to me to be such a smart move on the shark's part. I like when the shark put on the fake mustache and the monocle. It's like, oh, I'm just a shopper too. These deals are fantastic. More rope, please. All right, let's go to the crowd.

If you've seen the movie, you have a question you want us to talk about or something that we haven't talked about. Raise your hand. I'll come to you. All right. Yeah. What what thought do you have about the movie? What's your name? I am Thomas. Thomas. All right. What are you? do you have about the movie? What's your name? I am Thomas. Thomas all right what are you what are you thinking? Do you have a question a comment? Am I the only one who was a little bit disappointed that that sultry narration from Josh in the trailer didn't permeate the entire film like a Paul Schrader

film or something? Oh gosh I didn't hear it I didn't hear the trailer. Yeah he kind of talks about you know just forgiveness and shark attacks. I like that, and I love, by the way, only a film festival audience for a How Did This Get Made taping mentions a Paul Schrader reference. Like it's a, wouldn't it be, didn't you just want this to be like a Paul Schrader movie? I would have loved it if it was like a Paul Schrader movie, but unfortunately we'll never get that. Our lives are nightmares full of Schrader-less nonsense like this.

All right, your name? Annie. Annie, what's your question? My question is, not one, but two of the actresses in this film were from a very important Australian teen drama, H2O Just Add Water. H2O Just Add Water, but that is water, right? Wait, so Add Water to Water?

Yeah, yeah, two of the actresses in the film were teenage girls turned mermaids in H2O Just Add Water, in which both the blonde from the car park and the shoplifter Turned into mermaids whenever they accessed water. Wait a minute. Wait, whoa. Whoa. I'm gonna stop you right there whenever they accessed water What do you mean? Like if they were brushing their teeth they turn into a mermaid No, no

But if they were like to say take a bath or to go to a teen party. Okay when you say take a bath say take a bath or to go to a... Okay, when you say take a bath so long, how many bath shots are there in this show asking for a friend? I would say shockingly large number of bath shots. Large number of bath shots. I mean, just kidding. I can imagine that's the best way to access water is bath. Yes.

How much better would this movie be if not one but two of these characters, whenever they got in the water, would turn into Mervids? All right. So the question is, and it was a long way to get there. Thank you. A long way to get there. But would this movie be better with mermaids considering... Would this movie be better if it was in the H2O Just Add Water universe? Is the question, right?

If they were their same characters, so were able to turn into mermaids. By the way, I'll give you $1 million to make a movie filmmakers, that is Mermaids vs. Sharks, never seen it. That's a great movie. You know what I don't need? That's a great movie.

You know what I don't need? Apex Predators in my supermarket. You know what I do want? Ariel fighting sharks. Fuck yes. Shark tail meets little mermaid I'm ready for it. Okay yes sir your your name and your question. Adam Dredd and I may be old but I could not tell any of the teenage protagonist males apart. You know what this is an issue that I had too. I

was also confused by the two main dudes. Because upstairs and downstairs, our upstairs hero and our downstairs hero were both equally unappealing. Well, but also I'm talking about the two upstairs. They had nothing coming off them. They had nothing going on behind the eyes. There was no difference and they gave us nothing. So it was really hard to tell them apart. I like it when people have like a mustache or shaved head,

because then I go, that's that person. But I felt like this movie, there were two young guys in the top, right? I think we were being told that our down... We were being told over and over that our downstairs hero was a nerd. Yeah, he's getting bullied by... He's getting bullied, but he didn't seem like a nerd.

Freak Boy. Are they calling him Freak Boy? Yeah, like History Boy. I don't know what they were calling him. I couldn't quite figure it out, but I agree. And I think that we all had, it's not about being old. I believe this is a general white guy blindness. I couldn't.

To the whole movie. Everybody became... And that's why there's multiple Hemsworths. We don't know. Maybe there's one. Maybe they're not even related, but they all- It's true. You never know which one you're getting.

I also have to say, so many of the men had moments of heroics and were throwing themselves toward the sharks and trying to do the best they could to protect the crew, the most unappealing crew you ever did imagine, where you did want these people to die. But they only- I was rooting for the sharks. I know, but they only gave one woman one moment. Yeah.

And it was really like, there's so many women here, can one of them try? One. Oh yeah, no, only Jessie. Only Jessie has like, Jessie, right? She's the shop with Jamie. Jamie, Jamie. Sorry. I'm part of the problem. I didn't even, Jessie, right? She's the shop with Jamie. Jamie. Jamie. Sorry. I'm part of the problem. I didn't even remember her name.

Yes, you are. Yes, you are. All right, your name, your question. My name is Michael, and if we take this movie on a serious note as a cautionary- Okay, everybody, Michael wants us- I'm down. Hang on. If everybody could fucking, I know we're having fun, Michael wants us to take this part very seriously. If you take this movie as a cautionary tale,

and here we are in Nantucket, and if that's your mom and we're to hit right now and come through this room, I can't help thinking about the guy in the cage now. What do you know? I want to know how the three of you would react. Good question. Oh, great, great news. I would die instantly.

I am not strong in the water, so I would die so quick. I think I would be donezo pretty quick. I think I could do okay if it was a mountain situation. Water though, it's over for your guy. I am like, glug, glug, glug, goodbye. And here I am, and I'm looking around, and I'm like, those lights at the casino, that's all rope your guy. I'm like, glug, glug, glug, goodbye. And here I am, and I'm looking around, and I'm like, those lights at the casino, that's all rope for me.

Yep. I'm taking all that down. I'm swinging from the rover. I'm going up. There is a lot of climbable space I'm noticing. So that would... And I'm very strong in the water. I could swim for a while.

I'd be okay. And I would feed every single one of you to the sharks, whether you were living or dead, and I would do it without a second, like I wouldn't give it a second thought. I'd be like, yeah, yes, these are gold ticket havers. Feed them to the sharks. I I carry for anybody who bought Paul's book. Sharks. I... I carry... Except for anybody who bought Paul's book. You guys can be cool.

Thank you so much. I carry a Pomeranian in my bag at all times, four moments like that. Just for bait. Just to toss it aside and be like, go after that. Alright, your name, your question. Yes, I'm Phillip. So there is a very strange detail early on in the film that I'm wondering, I'm wondering if it has broader implications for how we're supposed to interpret the film. But I'm wondering if in the first few minutes of the film, whether you noticed the hangover

cure that the brother-in-law brought to the main character. Did you guys notice that? Of course. Yeah, sure. The mason jar with like plant life at the bottom. With algae in it or something? I'm 90% sure there were tiny little fish floating around and swimming in it.

It did seem like the hangover cure was like, yes. Sea monkeys and pickle juice is what it looked like. Was like a mason jar full of ocean water and algae, yes. I've got a theory. Well, I've got a theory if I can share. Is it a Jacob Flatter yes. I've got a theory. Well, I've got a theory. Is it a Jacob's Ladder scenario? He's got a theory. He's got a theory about what was in there.

If it's a Jacob's Ladder scenario, I'm going to be pissed off. No, he's got a theory. Here we go. Okay, maybe there is a psychoactive substance, and the rest of the film is an abstract... It's a Jacob's Ladder. is an abstract, dare I say, David Lynch-ian-ess exploration of the commitment of marriage. What Eraserhead does for the anxiety surrounding parenthood, this movie does for the anxiety surrounding marriage. Wow, what a way to get a Jacob's Ladder scenario out.

For you, this movie exists in a world in which his greatest fear is getting married. And I like that. And the rest of it is like, oh, yeah, I would so much rather than get married, I would rather watch everyone be eaten by sharks All right, let's see sir your name your question. Thanks. My name is Scott I'm not necessarily speaking from experience But I don't believe you can be arrested for shoplifting if you put things in your jacket and then go into the back of the store And sexually assault one of the associates well, but what about in Australia?

Yes, are you an expert in Australian law? In Massachusetts, I believe that is not the law. Oh, in Massachusetts, you can do whatever the fuck you want. I think what you're saying, though, is right, you can't be called for shoplifting until you leave the premises. You could have intent. Well, no, no, no. I'm sorry, though.

If you see people put pocketing stuff, you can pull them. They don't have to exit the store, do they? They have to exit the store. A lot of times, I think I don't have a little store do they you also don't worry about how I know this too but you have to exit the store because it's not considered theft because you haven't left right okay you're just carrying it in a different like some people have a little sorry so sorry if I can just get a quick show of hands what's that detained for shoplifting in this audience? The gentleman who asked the question. So it's Scott, am I right?

It's Scott and June. Scott, June, and someone over there who's foolishly honest. I have not been detained. I just happen to know my rights. Wow. Hi, everybody. Know your rights about shoplifting. Teach your children well.

All right. So we went to the audience. Now, obviously, we have opinions about this movie. There's a lot to say about this movie, but there are other people out there with a different opinion. It is now time for second opinions. Hi, my name is Lori.

Woo! Woo! Lori! Lori! Lori! Lori! Lori! This movie's doing something that I can't explain.

Everyone is wet and they all look the same. Every chomp of the jaw, there's another floating arm. Sharks in the store, that is what we are. Groceries in between and a tiny dog. My five star review is up on Amazon. What a strange episode of Nip and Tuck. We wish all these Australians good luck. Amazing! Give it up! Wow! Incredible! Amazing! Give it up! Wow!

Yes! Imagine the bravery that took! To sing in front of you! Great job! So, these are second opinions. These are

five star reviews from Amazon. Okay? There are two thousand... These are second opinions. These are five star reviews from Amazon. Okay, there are 2,000. These are real. Yes. If you don't know the show, these are real. These are 2,084 total reviews, okay, and 62% of those reviews are five star reviews. The average rating, 4.2 out of five.

What? The first one comes from Manish.2 out of five. What? The first one comes from Manish. Written in 2021. From who? Manish. Okay, or Manish. I looked at probably Manish, not Manish. I learned, you learned, we all learned.

Here we go. We've all seen Jaws, but this movie has much more to it. It has story, emotions, characters, everything stitched together so well, outstanding effects. This movie is more than just a shark attack movie. Title, more than just a shark attack movie, five stars.

Well there. This one here is from Sam. Sam's review written in 20- Our son? Our son, written in 2013. I bought this movie out of boredom and I was surprised how good it was. This is what you would call a well-polished upper.

Wait a minute. I don't call anything a well-polished upper. It's a well-polished upper. A well-polished upper? You got your comedies, your dramas, your well-polished uppers, your indie movies, you got them all. It could have been an A- I wanna watch a movie, what do you wanna watch?

Something that's like a well-polished upper? It could have been an A-list. Not a filthy downer? It could have been an A-list film if the CGI effects were higher quality. However, the special effects were passable. The storyline is great, and the actors all performed to A-list levels.

The sets, wardrobe, and props were very good. Overall, the movie is well done and there's no draw, there's no dry or dull areas in this movie. It's a rare classic. It's not just another shark movie. Don't rent it. Buy it. This feels like it's like from the filmmakers. Remember this movie takes place in Australia so everyone has accents. In closing, because it's rare to come across a well-polished, well-made upper that almost made an A-list. Wait a minute, they use it again? I give it a five-star rating and the title, this movie is actually damn good. Five stars. Wow.

That's chilling. Raphael R. Letan writes this in 2018. This is why I refuse to swim in the ocean. I won't do it. I'm toothsome. I just know it. Second, this is fun. First of all, because it's not one of those irritating things where only two love birds survive.

They're all pretty darn clever about how they deal with the shark problem. They even manage to have a few funny spots, but hey, not all the comic relief has a happy ending. Fun movie! Title, this is fun, first of all. Five stars. This is not a movie that should make you refuse

to swim in the ocean. It should make you not go to the supermarket. What does toothsome mean? I don't know. Can we get a definition on toothsome from a nerd? Chewy? Scott, front row Scott says, chewy. I won't do it.

Shoplifter Scott? Al dente, says Scott in the front row. Why, why? Oh, because he's, he's, You're with this guy? This is your guy? Get out of there. Toothsome Scott? He's too chewy is the reason why he won't go swimming in the ocean.

Any closing thoughts? Anything that we didn't cover that you want to cover? Boy, oh, boy. We didn't need any of the first act. We didn't need any of the lifeguards. We didn't need any of the... Like, it's enough that there's two sharks in the supermarket. Again, a sentence that is in

and of itself completely bananas. Well, this is a supermarket movie full of sharks. It didn't seem, it didn't seem like our main guy had a vengeance against sharks. They seem to have a vengeance against sharks. They seem to have a vengeance against him. I know, but he has had this terrible experience with a shark and it didn't, you never felt like he was there for payback. So this is about a heal, this is his healing journey.

He needs to be healed from the shark attack on the beach. Because he was supposed to be. By killing the sharks in the supermarket. Despite only earning $800,000 in its home country of Australia, Bait3D was a sizable success overseas, made $24 million in China alone. Made $2 million in Italy. And as a result...

Italy loves Bait. As a result of its success, they announced the film would receive a sequel. All right? So we'll be here next year, right here, at the Casino, Bait 2. You're welcome, Nectucket. It is an important message for indie filmmakers. Like, if you're looking to get your film financed, throw a Tuckett. Yeah, by the way, it is an important message for indie filmmakers.

Like, if you're looking to get your film financed, throw a shark in it. Yeah. Even if it's on what you consider dry land. Throw a shark in it. Now I'll tell you this. This is the premise. Just a routine flight, one that's carrying the world's most vicious... Oh, hang on a second.

You said flight. So you're going to put sharks in a plane? I love where this is going, hang on a second. You said flight. So you're going to put sharks in a plane? I love where this is going, Paul. Please continue. It's just a routine flight, one that is carrying the world's most vicious merchant of death and an assassin who will stop at nothing

to ensure that his target is eliminated. Routine? Until the plane goes down in the middle of the ocean. As a downed aircraft takes on water with every passing second, the surviving passengers and crew must face terror beyond reckoning. Their plane is on the brink of toppling into a bottomless abyss. Not only will the killer stop at nothing to secure their personal survival, but the rapidly disintegrating airplane has been infiltrated by the deadliest natural bornborn cougars on earth, sharks.

Who does it star? Gerard Butler. Please say Gerard Butler. Aaron Eckhart and Beng Kingsley. And Beng SBK? That sounds amazing. They were shooting in New Zealand, many scenes, and then Malaysia Flight 370 happened.

What? And they said no. And they shut down production on deep water because of that. So here we are at the Nantucket Film Festival. You guys, we need to get this back on track. This is important cinema. And Renny Harlan was directing it.

Incredible. So this was a movie that really did take off. Like the second one was gonna be huge. What year was this movie? 2012. That was happening in 2014. The writer of this, they was written by this guy John Kim and they brought in Duncan Kennedy to help write and Duncan Kennedy's credits are deep blue C3 Deep blue C2 and deep blue C1 So they brought in the man of the hour to add some more shark movies that have sharks in them Yes, and this was directed by the director of all the Highlanders. So, and Teen Wolf on MTV. So, would you...

There can be only one. Would you recommend this movie? Yes. Boooo. This is something to see. It's something to see. In 3D? Would you recommend it in 3D?

Only in 3D. I would recommend it. Yeah, no, this is nuts. This is straight crazy. In a way that, inexplicably, we've now done a number of bad shark movies. This is one of the better of them. It is. It should be, and I think it is a well-polished upper. But I think it should...

It should have been more of a schlocky movie. I think it would be more fun schlocky. I'm sorry, isn't Adderall a well-polished upper? Like, what is this? Oh, my gosh. I'm sorry, isn't Adderall a well-polished upper? What is this? Oh my gosh. I did enjoy it. I did watch it on 1.25 speed, which just gives it a little bit more speed as we're getting through it.

Wow, that's going to make it a well-polished upper. Yeah. I would, that seems chaotic to the limit. Like, I can't even understand watching this movie at a faster speed. Yeah. Because so much is happening so quickly. But you know what? I do think you're right.

This is one to watch. And honestly, if nothing more than to help your cognitive skills to be able to tell different teens apart. Oh no, it is like the gentleman said back there, everybody in this movie looks like everybody else. It is inexplicable who's who, who's bad, who's good. The movie's doing you no favors,

except for, like, the hunky lead who is, again, I only recognize because he looks so much like Logan from Gilmore Girls. My least favorite Rory boyfriend. Just so you know, Nantucket, in case you're wondering. Do you like Jess? Of course I like Jess. That is- Of course I like Jess. But also, Rory shouldn't end up with Jess either.

She should have an adult relationship with an adult person, not based on who she dates in high school. We've gone too far off track. Ladies and gentlemen, that is our show. I want to thank you all for being with us tonight. Holy cow, folks. That's a wrap on bait.

And that's also a wrap on our 350th movie episode. Holy cow. 350 movies. I think June has remembered seven of them. I just want to give a big shout out to the Nantucket Film Festival for bringing us out there. Donna Carey taking seven of them. I just want to give a big shout out to the Nantucket Film Festival for bringing us out there. Donna Carey taking care of us.

We had the best time. And honestly, I want to just say we did that show for an audience of people who I would say 30% knew why they were there. 70% did not. 70% did not see the movie, and they were still on board. And that's the power of Nantucket. I mean, they are there. Just a huge shout out to Jared O'Connell,

ventured out to Nantucket to record that show. And I also wanna say thank you to everybody in Nantucket who actually bought my book. We sold out of my book in Nantucket, which is amazing. And I have to say, I've been blown away by the reviews that everyone has been leaving on Goodreads and Amazon. Please keep them coming. It really, really helps the book.

And if you like the book, tell your friends about it, pass it on, and maybe I'll come to your town. I'm gonna come to Denver, I'm gonna come to Santa Cruz, and How Did This Get Made is gonna go to New York in November. So check out my website or How Did This Get Made and you'll see where I'm appearing. And if you want a personalized copy of the book,

just go to my website and it'll show you how to do that too. I can write your name, I'll tell you, whatever you want me to write in there. I'll put it in there. I'll put a bait. Well, that would be a boring thing to put in there. Anyway, now you might be thinking, Paul is Hot Shark Summer over?

Well, it was our last new movie of Hot Shark Summer. But if you want to prep for our final matinee Monday, our final shark film, well guess what? Jaws for the Revenge is streaming on Peacock and that will be released on Monday and like I said people get your tickets for How Did This Get Made in New York on November 15th. You also can check Dinosaur out in DC in Boston in October at the end. More info on that very soon. Anyway, people, I hope you enjoy Twisters and if you do, stay to the end because I'm in it. And anyway, if you have a correction and omission from this episode, please leave me a voicemail at 619-PAUL-ASK or write a comment on our Discord at discord.gg slash HDTGM. And then

make sure you tune in next week for our last Lux follow-up episode on bait to hear me respond to your messages and announce our next new movie. Plus Jason joins me to catch up on all the movies and TV shows that we are currently loving. So make sure that you tune in. Remember, if you listen on Apple podcasts or Spotify,

make sure you are subscribed to our feed and have automatic downloads turned on in the show settings. It helps us and we appreciate it a lot. And last but not least, I gotta thank our entire team who this show couldn't be done without. I'm talking about our producers Scott Sonny, Molly Reynolds, and our movie picking producer Averill Halley, our engineer Casey Holford, and our associate producer Jess Cisneros. That's all I got people. We'll see you next time on Last Looks. Bye for now.
