Starting point is 00:00:58 Volvo.com The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox is an eight-episode Hulu Original Limited series that blends gripping pacing with emotional complexity, offering a dramatized look as it revisits the wrongful conviction of Amanda Knox

Starting point is 00:01:14 for the tragic murder of Meredith Kircher and the relentless media storm that followed. The twisted tale of Amanda Knox is now streaming only on Disney Plus. Thank you to Hewle for sponsoring this video. More on them in just a bit.

Starting point is 00:01:30 I should be more. I did a G-fuel. That's what I did. Oh, right. Most of one. Most of the whole one. Let's freaking get to it. Let's freaking get to it.

Starting point is 00:01:38 Let's start losing your mind. I'm going to lose my freaking mind. Let's rock and roll. He might lose it. Oh my God. What a twist. What a cinnamon twist. Whoa.

Starting point is 00:01:58 Wow. Holy. Let's turn down that volume. Turn it down. Oh, my God. I doubt that highly doubt that it's an average credit scene. No. You guys, we just finished Kill Bill, Volume 1.

Starting point is 00:02:15 If you're listening to this on Apple or Spotify, make sure you go and give us five stars. Also, thank you so much to Prepper for cutting down these highlights. god dang god diddley dang that was great that was immaculate so i'm just looking up the patreon questions looking up the patreon questions not gonna let don't want to get spoiled on nothing so if you guys if you know you know but um thank you for sending in questions we appreciate you guys if you become there's a few here um just a reminder if you guys do become a patron you do get to see an advance schedule a week ahead and you're able to send us

Starting point is 00:02:58 questions that we will answer. And we answer them right after the review normally. So, well, I'll read the first one. All right. Kev B says, after seeing the bride go through everything she does, do you feel like

Starting point is 00:03:13 her quest for revenge is actually helping her heal? Or is it turning her into someone completely different? What's your take? That's a good question. um i don't know if it's helping her heal per se maybe in a way maybe it helps her feel better momentarily that being said i don't know who she was beforehand we don't really get too much of that information but it's very gratifying to watch i'm sure that uh you know it because she's fighting

Starting point is 00:03:41 in the name of what i don't know all the information yet i'm as we're going to learn more in the second half but she said it was bill's baby and i don't know if bill was the guy she's intended to marry or if like she had an affair i don't know the deal but uh yeah we've watched some things about revenge here as of late without like the last of us so you know that's a story about revenge don't get into that too much and know where that goes but as far as revenge here goes i think that um in a way it's like it's like a momentary relief you know so it's like it's like drinking you know you feel good in the moment but it's not going to help in the long run Yeah, what's you thinking, Tara?

Starting point is 00:04:22 Yeah, I'm thinking that it's so gratifying in the moment. And she's got her list and she's not done with it yet. So right now she's not even in the state, at least in this movie, to even feel I don't think guilt because she's not there yet. We're literally just ticking off the boxes, which I like. But now in the second one that they're setting it up that her daughter, is still alive. I feel like that's where they're really going to hit the story with with guilt. I feel or her coming to terms with what she's done and how can we, you know, not lead her daughter astray or at least not have her daughter fall into the same path

Starting point is 00:05:09 that her mom has, right? So yeah, that's my take on it. I think right now it's helping her heel in her own way because she she doesn't have time to really even digest it because she's still got two more names on there let's freaking go it's freaking go thank you kefby for sitting in that question we really appreciate you next up we got star-dusted madness I can hardly believe you two haven't seen the kill bill

Starting point is 00:05:35 movies they're so good I could watch a dozen movies in this universe as could I it's been so interesting so far how does this one rate for you amongst Tarantino's other movies. Also, Warren Beatty was up for the role of Bill. How do you think the movie would have turned out if he'd been cast as Bill instead of David Caradine?

Starting point is 00:06:01 Caradine. I don't know. As far as that second question goes, but as far as your first question, I really like this one so far. I think this is definitely up for me, and I don't think there's anything as asking as far as, like, our review overall of this movie, but I think that as far as stories go, as far as style goes, as far as just the way that it's staged and the way that it's edited, it's really impressive. I want to say thus far out of the ones that I've experienced. I think I've watched, I think this and Jackie Brown are the only movies I haven't seen, but I have. have to say that this is probably my second favorite so far uh jango is is top tier for me that's like my favorite one of my favorite movies of all time so having only seen half of this two-part

Starting point is 00:06:53 story i think this is already second place easily for me yeah and i i'm going to say you start dust and man is because she she's she's a she's a fan of my channel too so love you for the question she's awesome but um the reason i haven't seen you kill bill i i remember like when i was you know obviously a lot younger and they came out I was just like oh it didn't look like my type of film because it was just and I didn't hear a lot about it which seems insane

Starting point is 00:07:22 to me but maybe that's because I was younger and the other like kids in high school like weren't seeing it or something I don't know anyway that's why I haven't seen it but it's still wackadoo wild to me that I haven't seen it that's crazy to me

Starting point is 00:07:38 I love what's the Hollywood one that he just did with Leonardo and Brad Pitt. Once upon time in Hollywood. Thank you. That was a lot of fun. Once upon a time in freaking Hollywood is so good. Now listen, this is amazing. I will say that this movie is like up there on my list.

Starting point is 00:08:00 The scene with Leonardo DiCaprio in the trailer when he is drinking is the best scene of all time. like that makes me laugh so hard it is so amazing it's perfect it's literally freaking perfect and that's why that one is like top for me is because of that scene but this i mean you heard me say it out loud i'm like this might be one of the best action scenes that has ever been done yeah like um with the fight choreography i mean it was amazing it was just amazing i can't imagine and how much work that took for not only the stump people,

Starting point is 00:08:43 but Uma Thurman. And also they only had one. They did have a fight choreographer for, I forget what his name was. Anyway, like, awesome. Yeah, and I, yeah, and I just hadn't seen them because, yeah, I don't have a good reason.

Starting point is 00:09:03 But I know that everyone in my life loves them. and I appreciate everyone who's been who's currently in my life and has been in my life in the past who has seen them who have not spoiled this movie for me because I had no idea about the the scene where she's taking out all the dudes and just like the choreography of that the fact that there was even anime inside of the movie that was incredible I was completely blindsided by that in the best way and it really helped establish the threat that Lucy Lou's character was yeah But also just an interesting backstory. Like, I'd watch a whole extended movie just about her. Totally. That was great. Maybe it wasn't spoiled for us because it's such an old film and it's like so outdated that people are talking about it maybe now. But I think like next to Pope Fiction, this is the most popular movie.

Starting point is 00:09:52 Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I don't know how we didn't get spoiled. And also I don't know Warren Beatty's films and I don't know David Carradine. So that's my honest answer, Star Dost, and Madness that I'm like, uh, I don't know. I think David Carradine is doing a really great job because most of it is just physicality and with his voice, which I think is really good. I wish I could know what Warren Beatty's voice sounded like because then I'd probably have a stronger opinion. But so far, I'm just, I'm totally down. I think it's great.

Starting point is 00:10:23 I'll read the next one from Sanrak. I was a freshman in college when both volumes of Kill Bill were released and I can pretty much vividly remember how excited people were after volume one, endlessly recounting their favorite moments, the highs of it, and sharing speculation and wants for volume two. Wondering what Tara and Aaron would say, what were the highs for both you and what is on your wish list for what we see slash how the story goes in volume two? I don't know.

Starting point is 00:10:57 I mean, I'm really excited. I think this movie was truly incredible, the way that they were able to go down. down the list, one established the larger threat that bill is, you know, keeping him in the shadows, showing that he is this big ominous force that all these very capable, very dangerous people work for. And then the fact that he's so dangerous, he helped

Starting point is 00:11:17 Luce Loo's character take over in Japan. So she's like, in a way, still working for him and he's more dangerous than her. But I think as far as this film goes, I think they did a great job of establishing those stakes. but yeah what's my favorite scene i think the anime scene and then her taking out all the dudes because it you know action i typically like it when it is served as something to propel the story or you learn more information about the character but this in and of itself it's almost like

Starting point is 00:11:52 dance choreography it didn't all these things were just a step towards getting us to the fight in the in the snow but all of it was just so well done and just it's so stylized it's it's like a form of dancing in its own way the violent dancing and the trials and tribulations and the horrible things she's had to go through to get to this point so we're just rooting for her to take all these people out but she also has this her own interesting code about how she does things she doesn't harm kids and you know if she is it's in self-defense but that kid we saw at the end of that battle before we get to the one in the snow she just chopped down his sword and then he gave him a spanking and told him to go off on his way so i thought that was

Starting point is 00:12:35 interesting also the girl at the beginning she's like if he has to have beef with me i'll be i'll be waiting for you yeah but yeah i have no idea what to expect i want to see a really cool fight between uh it was her name copperhead or no the california viper the snake the snake lady yeah with the eye patch i'm expecting a really cool fight for that scene uh between those two because that's going to be dope and obviously i want to see what her and bill going to be like together i want to know more about their dynamic i want to know why he himself is such a formidable threat for the bride and yeah just um how they're going to continue to up the stakes both visually and audibly i want to see what other songs we end up getting in this or

Starting point is 00:13:22 the type of songs we have so many different genres within this one movie and the fact that they're able to tell so much story in under an hour and uh no under an hour and uh two under two hours sorry under two hours yeah yeah i'm trying to find my thoughts um but yeah i thought they did an amazing job trying to do that dude reject nation at the start of this year i was sitting over 20% body fat 218 pounds i was end of january as of a couple weeks ago finally took the photos i've been talking about it all year i completed the mission six-pack abs came in 8% body fat 170 pounds you can check out all the transformations on instagram but that's not why i'm here today i'm here today to tell you that a big part of how i accomplished that journey was about staying consistent with my nutrition

Starting point is 00:14:12 and the best way to do this by keeping things simple like having a hughal black edition ready to drink a complete meal in a bottle have these a couple times a week that first crack it's always amazing. It's a full meal and a bottle packed with 40 grams of protein. 27 vitamins and minerals, slow release carbs, low sugar, no prep, no cleanup. Just shake it and go. I've got a fridge full of these. We've got three fridges and they're all full of them. I'd like to grab them on shoot days, gym days, or I'm just too damn tired to cook, which is an often Greg thing. But more importantly, they taste good. Chocolate and vanilla. Classics are my go-toes. Smooth tastes like actual milkshake. But they got a whole bunch of other flavors you can catch on their

Starting point is 00:14:52 website plus it's under three bucks a meal which has helped my gains and my budget so reject nation if you're ready to support your health and help support the channel in a way you can go to huel.com slash rejects new customers get 15% off plus a free gift with code rejects at huel dot com slash rejects minimum $75 purchase applies skip the stress not the nutrition try heal today for complete nutrition well time gregg bottled i just had a thought hit me bill is the one that says her daughter is still alive. Yeah. And now I'm like, dude, what if he trained her and she has to fight like her daughter or something?

Starting point is 00:15:29 Because she's never known her mom. She only knows Bill. Now I'm like, oh, God, what's fall? I'm too going to be. I want her to meet her daughter. But now I have a like, oh, shite because he's the one that knows that she is alive. And if, and that's her dad. And that means she's only grown up with her dad and is going to like,

Starting point is 00:15:52 love her jerk dad, right? And so what's going to happen? I bet you her dad's been like, you know, like getting in her head. Whoa, now I just have so many ideas. Like while you were talking, I was like, oh my God, Bill was the one that told her about their daughter. And now that means he has, oh, I don't know. This is going to be wackadoo. I don't think that the daughter would fight the mom because why would she?

Starting point is 00:16:15 But then again, he's a freaking masochist. He might be like, if you love me, kill your mom. I don't know. That would be kind of wild. Wouldn't that be Wackadoo? Yeah, especially since the daughter's four. Right now? Yeah, it's at the beginning.

Starting point is 00:16:27 She'd be about your age right now, four years old. Shit. Because she was pregnant four years ago. My idea is out. It's out. Oh, my God. I was so excited about my idea, literally thinking that 18 years has passed. Literally, oh, my God.

Starting point is 00:16:45 Oh, my God. What if, okay, okay, skip to. okay all right now what do they still pull a little bit with a four-year-old is like dad i like dad and dad's been in her head and there's like mom's a bad woman or something i'm just going to be sad to see that because of all the pain what a what a brilliant scene by oma thurman acting when she grabs her something she starts sobbing isn't that just hander the freaking oscar now is brilliant and then so now when we if she she's like her daughter is still alive if she finds that out and she oh god it's just terrible

Starting point is 00:17:25 because her daughter's been living with bill it's just bad bad bad bad it's bad we don't know she's been living with bill maybe he didn't take the daughter maybe like put her off somewhere else yeah yeah maybe maybe i don't know why he would do that but you're right so i'm i'm mostly excited about that mother daughter storyline i'm like where is it going to go how are we going to get there how is she going to be introduced to it and then of course I know we'll get awesome fights with Daryl Hannah and the other guy

Starting point is 00:17:56 I forget his name. Did you ever favorite scene in the movie? It's probably I mean it's got to be the last part you know with all the guys my favorite part about that whole ending scene

Starting point is 00:18:09 when she's fighting off all the guys is her running up the freaking stair stair rail. The stair rail and the wallwork like especially the wirework but her going from the stairs you can see and she bounces off the walls comes back it's insane i think that is some of my favorite visuals when it comes to fight scenes and it's not like it pauses to to take a breath to be like did you see what we did there it's literally like this it's so freaking fast she runs up the stairs goes keeps fighting him

Starting point is 00:18:44 he goes off the rails she's still up there on the stairs has to go back down and then she the whole stage it turns to like a backlit in blue where she's fighting the kids so we don't actually have to see the kids like die it is great um i it's this is that's a difficult question because what this film gave us from the from the top to the bottom from beginning to end is a really good story with a really strong point of view and put us in a position where we freaking care and we want these people to like die especially with her in the coma we just feel so much for her and we're just like hell yeah let's freaking go yeah i think this movie did a really smart thing by establishing the plot one so quickly but two keeping it simplistic allowing us to

Starting point is 00:19:44 have room to breathe in other areas to explore the different characters that are along this journey, you know? Yeah. Because this is just a straightforward revenge story, we know she had to kill the bad guys. And then it's all about the obstacles in her way. Getting to Bill, we get, we, it allows us to have time to explore Lucy Lou's backstory. It allows us to have time to spend time with the sword maker. And it allows us to have time to have that one scene with her in the, trying to want with the baby,

Starting point is 00:20:14 like realizing that it's gone and just all the all the things really allowing the emotions to to really swell up so you can really have a strong motivation with her and you're on this journey with her to take out bill and i'm just excited to see what happened i'm excited to see where it goes right and and because she also let let that the obviously little girl she's like should you you come to find me come and find me when the when she kills her mom right in front of her that like The story is not lacking heart, right? And that is always like my biggest problem if I'll talk about it. If there's a movie I don't like,

Starting point is 00:20:53 it's because I didn't care about the character and there wasn't any heart. And you know, it's funny, this movie is freaking savage. And it still comes with heart. That's believable. Yeah. It's not bombastic. It's not too large to wrap your head around where you're like, wait, she's a samurai sword. I don't know.

Starting point is 00:21:10 Could she really do that? She's just like a white girl. And you're like, no. of course you could the amount of vengeance that you enrage you would have in your body by after being beaten to death well close to it by six people and you remember their faces oh you better believe i'm getting a samurai sword and i'm training for a month and some guy's attic and i'm going to cut them all down to yeah yeah and the the writing is really strong in this movie as well like even the the stuff that's not explicitly said in the text like the the fact that it's a subtextual like the fact that she was abused in the hospital for like four years and then she got her revenge on the guy who was about to do it again and then the guy who was a buck and thank goodness yeah and yeah this again the stuff you learn about lucy lou and the stuff that happened in between her and yeah it was just it was great man

Starting point is 00:22:05 I know also like like you said the script is great but they also don't they don't take us through with like a bunch of exposition they just show us the story. Exactly. They just show them moving through an environment and they're like letting music sort of lead the way for the vibe, especially when we see that tracking shot with Lucy Lou and sort of her gang of people behind her. We have a nice long tracking shot of her going into that space where there's like a party

Starting point is 00:22:32 and into that room and whatever that we don't really need anything. We don't even understand eventually when we cut to that room. That guy's laughing. I mean, we do. He's talking about sex. but like there's no dialogue about anything that is important we are just watching a story all we needed was to turn her head she does a thing we see across umma thurman's eyes and we're on yeah and we're on and there's not even much talking after that it's mostly we're just she's on the ceiling and then fight fight fight yeah which is so cool yeah this movie's uh master in and show not tell i agree man yeah i mean i got no notes No notes. 10 out of 10.

Starting point is 00:23:15 I'm excited to see the next one. Volume 2. We going at it hard. Volume 2, baby. Any final thoughts for you out of here, 10? No, I'm just excited to see the second one. All right. That'll be up it for us today, guys.

Starting point is 00:23:27 Thank you so much for tuning in to part one, and we'll see again for part 2. Duceus. The tiny community of Peel is situated deep in the woods of northern Wisconsin. It's so small that it's even. easy to miss on a map. Just scattered homes, gravel roads and dense silent forest. It's a place where people choose for the quiet, the isolation in the distance, a place where life moves at a very slow pace and secrets can stay hidden for a long time. On the morning of Sunday, the 8th of March

Starting point is 00:23:59 2015, the stillness of Peel was interrupted. At the Oneida County Emergency Dispatch Centre, the phone began to ring. Before the operator could answer, the caller hung up. It happened again. And then again, three calls, all from the same number. Then came a fourth call. And then finally, there was a voice. It was a little girl. And she grabbed the knife that was on the shelf, and she came after me with it. Listen to this episode on the Ashley Martinson case,

Starting point is 00:24:30 as well as over 300 more episodes on Morbidology, available on all podcast platforms. It started with a scream inside a quiet Maryland home. A mother trying to protect the family dog, and her son in the grip of a violent hallucinogenic rage. By the time it was over, she was dead, and he claimed LSD made him do it. His name, David Minor the 4th, and we talked to him.
