Numerous industry experts and employees from within Ocean Gate itself had warned Rush of impending doom, citing safety concerns and a lack of testing. His hubris, ego, and reckless desire for innovation over all else cost him his life and that of four others. The catastrophic destruction of the Titan submersible sent shockwaves through the ocean exploration industry that are still being felt today. The Ocean Gate Titan Submersable, a preventable tragedy, a two-part series available now on shipwrecks and sea dogs. Listen wherever you get your podcasts.

Starting point is 00:00:51 Thank you to Hewell for sponsoring this video. More on them in just a bit. Well, we'll happen once we start this movie Pearl, because as Rocks was telling you all, We heard this is just, it's a baller of a movie, and we're stoked on it. It's girls only for Pearl.

Starting point is 00:01:17 Anybody can watch. Anybody can watch. You don't have to have a Pearl. I sat down. Are you Pearl and we're just all living in your world? Yeah. And I just, I went for it. I went for it real quick.

You also get to send us questions. that we're watching get a full week and advance in the schedule. And so we're going to go to those questions now, but not before. Roxy's going to tell us exactly how she's feeling right now. I love this franchise. This movie was so different from the first one, but similar themes.

Starting point is 00:02:23 And like the sexual undertones and the overtones of both them. This is like a master class from Mia Gauth in her performance. performance. Somehow they surprised it with every kill, even though you know she's going to kill them all. But it's like every time we were like, is she going to do it? Yeah. The framing of everything, the music, the Wizard of Oz of it all, especially with like having a, you know, wanting to go far from home. And then the way it was shot and the colors and the characters and then even as far as the names and all of that. I just think that this is brilliant. And you know, we know there's one more Maxine. I have a feeling it's about the character that we met last time.

Starting point is 00:03:09 Mia Goss's character is the only one who escaped from X. So it's cool. We went back and now I think we're going to go forward. And I'm just so, this is a brilliant, brilliant trilogy. This is how you do a trilogy where it's not just like, wait, what other story is there to tell? This origin story was so worth telling. Yeah, awesome. What do you think?

Starting point is 00:03:29 Oh, hands down. What a, I haven't even seen Maxine yet. Obviously, we're going to watch it. I'm going to put this in my top, top, top, top of all sequels, trilogies, whatever you want to call it, it's up there. These movies are hands down brilliant. And, oh, God, just gross, just great. Obviously, yeah, I do agree she should have been nominated for something.

Starting point is 00:03:54 I hope this movie won all of the things because it deserves all of them. Let's get into the questions. Jane Rose, I absolutely love this movie. I wasn't familiar with me of Gauth before these movies, but hers as Pearl will probably stay with me forever. That shot at the end will probably never not send chills down my spine. Also, the one-take monologue is Chef's Kiss. I agree.

Starting point is 00:04:15 Curious, if y'all agree. Well, I just said agree, but yeah. Yes. Right? I mean, yes, that we did in the beginning of that, yes, cut back and forth. But once I realized, I was like, we're still rolling. And then even after that, there was still three to four more minutes we went. brilliant and I mean that takes the performance is just it's so gutted and and real and grounded

Starting point is 00:04:41 I loved every part of it I was like I feel for you girl yep we went like you psycho but we were like because even in the member in the beginning of that monologue you were like should we feel for her because like I don't and then I was like I don't know that the fact that your brain works this way something is wrong with you yeah so you all you don't even know what you're doing is wrong right something's wrong and of court they claim insanity we did not have mental health practices back then the way we do now so I was just watching that you know the fact like even at the end when she does what she does with her husband comes home and she's like set up yeah yeah because she's like that was I cleaned up yeah okay I thought she was you're crazy bitch in my

Starting point is 00:05:25 head I'm like you burn all the bodies yeah's how you clean it up yeah because we don't have so firk acid in these days. Or we do, but we don't realize. I don't think. Burn. She's got a whole alligator bit. Oh, yeah. I forgot about data. How could I forget about her? The alligator's the best way to cover up a murder. Okay. You want to do the next?

Starting point is 00:05:44 Richard the magician. In Pearl, Mia Goth has the long monologue all in one shot. It's so impressive. What do you think? And are there other impressive one shot monologues you can think of? P.S. I know theater actors do this all the time. L.O.L. It's still impressive when they do it.

Starting point is 00:06:00 Yeah, there's one that came out a couple of years ago in a TV show called Monster, the Menendez Brothers story, where an entire episode is one of their recollection of what happens with their father where he's sitting in across and it's like a slow punch in, but it's still just one shot. And that is an unbelievable on-screen monologue. It's like 50 minutes long or something. So, so good. That's the first one that comes to mind. Anything come to mind for you? I agree with you. Well, Jaws, you know, that epic monologue, that was done because the drunk guy, he couldn't get through it because he was so, he was so.

Starting point is 00:06:38 Was it one shot though? I think it was the one that they used. Was one take? I believe it's, yeah, it's a oneer. It's a one take. I could be wrong. You guys can leave that in the comments if that's so. But if you're looking for more oners, the director of Boiling Point, that's the movie that I was telling people about years ago.

Starting point is 00:06:58 but then he's directed the whole Netflix series. I'll find the name in a second. He's great at what he does, and he does a lot of Wunters, as in the whole episode, the whole movie, and it's hands down right. Same thing with the show Adolescence. Every episode is One Shot, which is really...

Starting point is 00:07:12 That's what I'm talking about. That director did Boiling Point. I just forgot his name. So thank you for that. He's great. And then also there are movies on Netflix called One Shot that are like that with the long one shot that are action movies by James Nunn,

Starting point is 00:07:27 who did, the movie that I did with Kate Back in Sale. He's the director of that. Yeah, so cool. He was really great one-shot movies, which are cool. I love that. But she wasn't in a wonder when you're seen. It was a cut her back and forth, but still, freaking cool.

Starting point is 00:07:43 Fellow reject, why is it so hard to get carried away with food and so hard to stay consistent? Last year, I made a whole big deal about wanting to get into the best show of my life just so I could get photos. I've always dreamed of. I don't know why I had that dream, but I had it because I'm a man. So the past few months, after, those photos, I loosened up, maybe a little too much. So now I'm back to training regularly, tracking what I'm putting in my body, and focusing on energy, clarity, and overall health. So, if I'm going to be consistent in 2026, I need something easy to keep track of, high in the right

Starting point is 00:08:14 macros, and actually satisfying, i.e. these bottles before me, that's where a Hewold Black Edition really comes in handy. When I'm running out the door, post-workout, or I'm stuck here for many hours of the day, I grab a ready-to-drink. R-T-D for short, It's a complete meal in a bottle, 35 grams of protein, 27 essential vitamins and minerals, no artificial sweeteners, gluten-free, under five bucks and keeps me full for hours. I'm holding in the chocolate peanut butter one because while they have a bunch of great flavors, this is undoubtedly the favorite around the office here. It's quite competitive to get this bottle.

Starting point is 00:08:47 But another one that I take pretty much every single day, the Hewled daily greens. I'm always on the lookout for like a good, tasty daily greens. I kid you not, this is undoubtedly my favorite. Hewle. you did really good on this one. And when I've got more time, I'll use the black condition powder. I can mix it with some fruit or even some hydration powder. Same complete nutrition, high protein, but I can build however I want.

Starting point is 00:09:08 Got a whole bunch of powders right there in that kitchen over there. So yeah, the RTD for speed, though, power for control. RTD. I like the way that sounds. It's like RDJ, but it's not RTD. But if you're locking back in, this combo makes consistency very simple. And I am all about simplicity and efficiency.

Starting point is 00:09:49 for M-Wa. All right, let's do this. J-Dell, since Pearl looks bright and whimsical like a classic Hollywood fantasy, do you think that makes her descent into madness more disturbing because it feels like a dream slowly turning into a nightmare? Definitely think that's what they were going for, and I definitely think that is what they accomplished. Yeah, I agree. And I like that you said that, Jade out, because when I was looking at it, as you probably heard in the very beginning, I was like, this looks like a Pixar film. Like, obviously, they did some special effects and some coloring

Starting point is 00:10:18 in the clouds and the sunsets behind them and up the saturation. And I'm totally with you. It does make it feel very disturbing, although I'm really glad we finally got to see Theta in the daylight. You keep calling her that, but that definitely was... Theta? Theta? Theta, maybe. Theta, H-E-D-A, I think, Theta. Theta. Yeah, I don't know.

Starting point is 00:10:41 Okay. All right. Well, before I called her Thelma, at least, I'm getting closer. Yep, you could be right. I could be wrong. You could be smart. I could be dumb and there's nothing we can do about it. It's a quote from Matilda.

Starting point is 00:10:51 And it's also true here. All right, Residency. Yep. residency. Pearl, my favorite of the trilogy. I watched both X and Pearl back to back, not knowing anything about them. And I did not know I needed a prequel to X in the eyes of the Pearl.

Starting point is 00:11:08 But I definitely did. I'm sure you already have raved about me in God's performance, especially with the scene. Question, how do you feel about the shift in tone from the first movie to the second? Also, does this movie make you think about Pearl's actions in the first movie? Well, we knew where we were leading up to. Yeah, we did.

Starting point is 00:11:29 I didn't really find this to be a huge shift in tone. Like, they still felt like they were in the same world, not the visual aspect of it, but this felt like a legitimate prequel. Like, this is her origin story. Yeah. It wasn't like, what's the movie that I watch? Like, Gremlin and Gremlins 2, where it was like complete tonal shift or whatever. It wasn't like, one was a comedy, one was a, it was just to me like,

Starting point is 00:11:55 Yeah, it's all part of the journey. Right. Yeah. I would say, you know, for you residency, you know, the first one has, starts out more with that like sort of fun loving, like, you're like, oh, it's friends and we're doing this thing. And it doesn't seem as like creepy and scary until we get to the creepy scary. But with this one, I think we needed that, that shift in tone in this film specifically,

Starting point is 00:12:24 only because we already we know what's coming for us. We know Pearl's cuckoo freaking bananas. So I don't, I agree with Rocks that I don't think the shift is like drastic. We kind of knew what was gonna come at us. But I do like the change

Starting point is 00:12:40 and the saturation of the picture and, you know, the light versus the darkness of who Pearl is, is pretty drastic. How do you feel about this? The second question also does the movie make you think about Pearl's actions in the first movie? I just like that they brought back

Starting point is 00:12:58 Because I saw that comment Where is a pitch for it going to come The second she has it We open up the movie Boom she kills that ghost And Ross is like no no no we're not We can't be No we're not gonna

Starting point is 00:13:10 No worry She tries to call me Down in a kitchen Yeah it was wrong Super wrong We also get that call back to the shh Moment and like And it's our little secret

Starting point is 00:13:20 Yeah and the barn And you know we see And the alligator of course So we see all of that. So that made me think about her actions. I like the parallels. Like, oh, wow. And the fact that she stayed on the farm.

Starting point is 00:13:31 Yep. And I like that she still, well, I don't like it. But I like that she, you know, you got to, she, she's sticking with the same weapons. You know, I like how loyal she is to the weapons. Exactly, Tara. Grab a weapon. Grab a weapon. Stick with that weapon.

Starting point is 00:13:47 And she's really stuck by that pitchfork side. And, you know, you got to love her for that. Queen shit, yep. Jay Roshchin. Does Pearl remind you of the dark side of the film industry? Mia Gauth was able to be put in Blade after cancellation. She got a role in Starfighter movie Star Wars. Yeah, so I don't know if Blade ever actually was canceled.

Starting point is 00:14:06 Huh, I don't know. But it's been delayed forever. Delay. But I don't know what the first sentence has to do with the second sentence here. I don't know what you mean by like darker side of the film industry. Yes. So if you're asking me, if I look at Pearl Mia Gauth in this role, yeah, we're going to trust to know that she can deliver a dark performance. No, I think I think that first part is about like how fucked up the film industry is that you can like try, try, try.

Starting point is 00:14:38 But like that if they're not what you're looking for. Oh, I like that. That probably is what he was asking. But then I don't understand the blade cancelate. Maybe he just means like she got cast and then it was canceled, but then she had something else. And now she's in the Starfighter Star Wars movie, which I didn't. know any of this. I didn't know about the blade, star for anything. I do think the film industry is forever and always will have a dark side. That is the reality of what you saw, not the

Starting point is 00:15:03 murder, but the reality of the audition and not getting it and leaving the room, I guess, crying. I mean, you get to become a not a greenie and you're not running out crying, but sure. Yeah, I really like the part where they're like, you're just not what we're looking for. We have people like you and we're looking for somebody more All-American and Blonde because that is what we're told as actresses, Tara, I'm sure you've heard this a billion times when you don't get a part. It's not necessarily that you didn't do a great job.

Starting point is 00:15:29 Right. Most times it's just you weren't what they were looking for. And so that is a dark part of the industry where like you can be the most talented person in the room. But if you are not what they have in mind, then you're not what they're looking for based on whatever it is that they are looking for. So I thought that was very realistic. Totally. And you, but she says in her model, she's not confident.

Starting point is 00:15:48 And if you lack confidence, the industry is not for you because it just eat you alive. So yeah. Really well. I'm happy that she's going to be in a Starfighter movie. I think the Star Wars universe could be a really cool universe for her. However, I'm very curious to see her do more horror because this is clearly up her alley. Oh yeah. Horror would be, more horror would be great for her, but I'll see what she does in Star Wars. I'm excited to see that go. One more from J. Dell? Let's do it. J. Dell. Trivia. Mia Goth, co-wrote the script for Pearl. What? With director Ty West during COVID quarantine.

Starting point is 00:16:21 and that final unbroken smile at the end was held for over a minute with Mia staying in character the entire time without cutting. Oh, we know is that. That's obviously another oneer, yeah. Honestly, even more than the oneer was her monologue, that end, that end runner of her smiling. Wild. That's so hard to do.

Starting point is 00:16:43 Wild. Really great job by her. I agree. It's very impressive that she co-wrote this. And that's why she was also on EPI. this clearly she was very involved in this franchise franchise couldn't have happened without tie west or mea goth and that shows i agree yeah good good good writing i wonder how much of the the monologue her and her and tie would take if it's a 50-50 or if that was her if there was some

Starting point is 00:17:09 stuff that came up that might have been improvised in the middle of it um good question you guys can let us know maybe more in the trivia once we get to maxine yeah once you get to you get to you Our good set direct. The old magazine. Our direction team put these for us. Yep. Very useful during the shoot. Grab a weapon.

Starting point is 00:17:31 Grab a weapon. This one's ours. I have a question for you. If you were going to attack somebody, which end of this would you go for? I don't want to grab it because it's sticky, but I would grab it. This is so sticky, my hand is here.

Starting point is 00:17:43 And I would just go for the net. Are you going straight in or are you twisting? I'll twist for sure. Once it's in, we're twisting because it's convenient here. attempt to strangle? No. Too small. A bird?

Starting point is 00:17:57 A bird. It couldn't get it. Maybe Roxy's neck, tiny little neck. No, I mean a bird, sure. But no. Well, we could hook them. We could hook them. Well, what if I hook their own arm

Starting point is 00:18:12 and then swung it back on them through the neck? That's what I'm thinking. This is good. This is good. You grab one arm, swing it through, slam it in the neck. I grab the other. Now they're like this.

Starting point is 00:18:24 Blood is gushing at both sides. What a picture of that is. And you know what we do? This is copyright to She Jax right now because if we see this in a movie because you know what we just came up with dope as hell. You know what we do as we're doing it? We do this.

Starting point is 00:18:39 This is my...
