As in it is in one and two? No. So like you were saying, some of the pacing, it did slow down a little bit. Like, I'm looking. Not as much as one or two. There was just more, I don't know, maybe it's because we were closer. It seemed maybe quicker. Maybe the stakes seemed higher because we were in the,

actual environment in two and then in one we're just in that little house. And in this one, it seemed like the problems were solved quickly, right? Like, I mean, I don't know. I don't know how to explain it. I still really liked this one, but I wasn't as on the edge of my seat as I was in like one and parts of two. This one's a little difficult because it makes you like, At the end of the day, I might kill the homeboy.

What's his name? The guy that. The minister? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. The minister. I might because go F yourself. Yeah, totally. And you just tried to kill me.

But like, you want the people in charge to be better than you, right? You don't want you to be in charge. You want the people at the top to be the example of good. Yeah. So I like this senator. is it realistic? I mean, we've never had somebody as good run for president ever. That is that pure as she

is like. And also doesn't really solve the problems like we heard throughout like a lot of the people in this movie and rightfully so like the main woman helping are the actual purge mommy who's like, yo my people get left behind no matter what. Yeah.

Yeah, I don't know. It was interesting because the first movie like we talked about is very isolated. Yeah. Second movie we go out into the world. Third movie, we break the rules and we find out that actually now you can go for elected officials, anybody. Anybody. That's supposed to even the playing field. And it's almost like by opening up those stakes and giving us the whole world, the stakes did feel a little lower. A little less, right? It's just kind of weird. It was still really solid and I don't know what I could have wanted

from a third one that they didn't deliver. And I'm glad we had Frank Grillo carry through because we needed like some yeah some something we needed that action and that like knowledge or like the the maybe it's just the nostalgia no it's like it's like his like purge daddiness but also his knowledge led us to automatically associate that like he could save the senator if they were as long as they were together right that like it started out really interesting with the heist at the house right like with them coming to get her and turning on her but i do also feel like we didn't fully come full circle with that like why did they turn on her the people her own defense you know i mean you can assume for money because they're working with the minister you know you can

assume but i wanted to hear was there another side to why we didn't like this politician you know she seems like so good but maybe they turned on her because maybe she screwed their families or something you know like maybe there was something more to the story and i feel like that would have made it a little more well-rounded, even though it was entertaining as hell. Like, I kind of am nitpicking because honestly, this whole franchise is pretty dope. It's great, but I agree with you because, uh, I mean, they said like, you're not getting paid if she's not, if she's dead or whatever they said. But I thought that when, that's why I thought when she was in the ambulance looking out the window and you're like, no, that's just her point of view.

I thought it was a flashback to her childhood with these people hanging from the trees. And I thought that maybe that was her as a little girl dancing. thing and I was like are we going to go back to that to where it's like she was bad at one point and if anybody finds out or if they did find out that's why they're like seller but we didn't that wasn't that she was just I guess looking at the carnage we also never do come back to her mom picking to save her life and like what that does for a person you know she never I kind of maybe that's why is there another one after this yeah yeah yeah I think so but I don't know do you think they're just saving all of that it's possible

But I wanted what I, a moment that I wanted was this is a politician. I want to see your stand up and give a big speech, right? Like, you know, I, this is what happened to me as a kid. I've been personally affected by this. I have survivors remorse. Everybody here does. We collectively have experienced the trauma. Like some kind of rounded out thing, you know?

Yeah. I mean, that would have been great to see. Also, it would have been cool if they had a little more, yeah, backstory as to why. they would turn on her because she seems like a good like a good person right um and i'm like how much money really are you getting but then i'm like okay maybe that's the purpose of this whole universe though like yeah money is everything yeah that's true i mean we've learned that in both of the movies it's not like they're going to change the plan now that these people are out to to make more money and kill you know the people that they feel are lesser than this one also for

felt the longest. Did it feel that way to you? I don't know if it was. The pacing, right? The pacing. There was a lot of instead of walk and talk instead of sork and walk and talk. Yeah. They did a lot of stop and talk. Stop and talk, stop and talk. And lives are in danger. And as I, you know, it's not a real search and rescue mission. However, if it was, pick up the pace

baby. Yeah. And that has to be a direction move. Because if we if we just imagine him when, you know when he reveals himself in the tunnel and they're like, who's that guy, that I imagine, sure, he could say it for a second, but then he's like, I guess it would be bad if he was running, but I still feel like, hey, it's me, I need to tell you, like, this isn't a blah, blah, blah, it's now a rescue mission. Where's the tunnel? We got to move. Like, and then they're like moving and talking. Yeah, they have her. They have her. We got to switch. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Something to really get it to where, you know, in movies where they're like, they're on that mission and the music

kicks in and now we're like really moving. I thought that was like maybe going to happen and it still took its time. Yeah, I was dragging a little bit. I'm super with you on this. I want to see if this was a different director. So this one was James DeMonico. Okay. And let's see. No, he did.

He did two and one? Wow, interesting. So he did the Purge series. He did the Purge forever. He did the what's called the First Purge, which I guess is the Purge after Purge election year. He did the Purge UK. He did the Purge Anarchy. Whoa. the purge but he wrote the purge did he not direct it let's see um like the first one is the purge

that we watch yeah no he directed it he directed it he directed it okay so it did feel different it really did i'm i'm with you but it felt slowed down and it yeah it felt like maybe they wanted it to breathe more but in it breathing more i had more questions than i had answers i got to also figure out where that woman betty is from okay she was in upgrade which was a movie that i look oh Dude, you know who she is? Who? The second I opened it, I realized who she is. She's the single tear, get out, girl.

Oh, my God, yes. Right? Okay, the second I opened this up, I was like, wait, I'm looking at a picture of her. Yes. Oh. Yeah. She, because she works a lot. That's why she's so good.

I mean, she's so good. The actors in this franchise are seriously beyond. Yeah, I agree. I mean, really, really, like, beyond excellent. I don't have an issue with a single performance in this whole franchise. No, not at all. And I do agree in what you said at the top that this movie, and none of these movies would work this well if the casting wasn't entirely on point.

Meaning with the direction and the producing coming together going, we need that person specifically because, and the chemistry has always been top notch. Like I've never believed if they've set two characters up that they didn't already have a relationship. Yeah, but it is wild that, like, we are watching an entire purge, and my brain is thinking, make out, make out, make out. Like, why does, Frank Grillo would have chemistry with a brick wall. Yeah, he would. He would.

Truly. I mean, they did light up that peck a little bit, man, it had, like, a red light on it. You guys can stop, go rewind. It was good looking. I think another, again, this is being so nitpicking, and I don't mean to because I actually did really like this movie while I was watching it, but because there was that time to breathe, Another thing that just bothers me about society sometimes

is that I do think that each life is equal. Every life is equal. Everybody's time matters equally. And we did do everything on the planet to protect the senator. And in protecting the senator, we kill the only guy that was in all three of these movies. Because she wanted to stay home. She was so insistent on staying home

and not being where it was the safest place for her. Which I get, I understand, because she wants to be a citizen and live like a citizen. But at the same time, every single person died around her, including Joe, including, like, the one that I just mentioned. The kid, the good kid. Rondo died. And people were shot, and including the leader of the resistance and so many members of the resistance. And it's just like, I cannot, can we really justify for saving the, I get, it's for the greater good.

And she has got to be the leader of the greater. good and she's going to take down the minister and she is the best chance at the future and the best chance at ending the purge but at the same time I am sitting here like and she did fight to keep people alive you know she did try to keep the minister alive and she did try to um say them we're no better than them but also we were all protecting her and even joe at the end jumps in front of the bullet for her and it's like does her life matter more than anybody else is i understand that's what it's like to be a bodyguard and what it is to protect the government officials but i don't know it just kind of irks

me a little. Yeah, I mean, the one thing that might have, that might kind of save it is that Joe at the end, he's like, well, the senator will take care of it, won't you, Senator? Like, basically he knew that it was for the larger picture, which does make us feel a little bit better about it. But I do agree with you that a lot of people had to die for her. Um, but I guess the, the, the ideal is that just the, the greater picture will succeed of, like, goodness over these, like, white-powered freaks who still want the purge. She's the only one, well, not the only one, but the only one that we saw that was against the purge in trying to, like, change the world. And she has all of these people who are on her side and then just the total opposite. That's, and I'm glad that she won,

but I'm curious to see the setup that they left us with. Yeah, me too. That's, that just seems like another insurrection, like ready and waiting. Maybe it is, maybe it, it is actually a good thing that it is making me ask myself these questions, you know, like, what does matter most and, and is the greater good a good enough reason to do something. And, you know, I think that all of these movies have made me think genuinely. And I know it's supposed to be kind of like a silly franchise, a horror franchise, but to me, they genuine, the thought and even the fact that my first instinct when we're seeing

the purge and crime rate goes down and I'm just like oh it's an interesting concept and it's like no dude this is a way to eat the poor fucking yet again like and for the rich to keep fucking pushing down people that will net you know for the 1% and it's like every movie has really made me deep and thought about something this one's no different and I really I'm sure people are like you're overthinking it but to me they are thought provoking yeah they are for sure I mean I think there were some similarities in this, like when I was comparing the rich white people party to like the rich white people minister people, it seemed like very similar. Like the resistance is now going to come in and has to take these people down because that's what they do. And, you know, Senator was saying before, I don't really agree with your methods. But at the end of the day, they really are making this purge way, just way worse. They really are taking out all of the weak people, which is why. by now the, they have to have a safe zone to bring in like homeless people and people that are like tracked after, which is so sad. And now we've, I guess in this movie, it's a culmination

of how bad the purge has become and how much the people of the world have to now sacrifice their life to save the people in their hood and the people that they still want to be around so that they don't, don't just end up with like a bunch of white power people coming into their shop. We like coming in to buy a Snickers and be like, can't wait for the purge next year. It's going to take you down. Yeah. Like, you know, it is like a very, no matter which way you think about it, these, like you said, it is very thought provoking. It does make you think. And there's so many ways to, to like move with these storylines. But them delivering it each and every time does make you think like, how do these people get out of this? How do they get out of it?

Well, we'll see what the president does. Yeah. And we'll see what she's able to do. See what's up? I mean, I'd give this like a seven, seven out of ten because of the pacing. But I think the last purchase, I was like, eight out of ten, I still, I love this. I love the franchise. Me too.

And I love Frank Grillo's character because he really, he doesn't have the moral high ground in the way that, like, the senator does. You know, he's not like, we've got to go back and save this piece of shit minister. But he does do the right thing. And, like, he's interesting. He's a complex man. Yeah. I think he's a good lead for the franchise.

I hope that he's in the fourth one. I hope we get to see it, which is up to you guys. Like, comment, subscribe, let us know. Hopefully you are enjoying this series as much as we are. Where could they go from here? Yeah, I mean, I'm going to be interested to see the senator and that relationship carry out with Frank Grillo's character. If we do?

If we get to, I mean, I would hope. What did I just tell you? what's the, what's the, I don't know what the next one is, but I'm like, what's the, what's the resistance look like because now we don't have a leader. It's like going to be a whole new ball game, right? The purge forever is written by the same person, but directed by somebody else and completely different, no new, none of the same people. Oh, okay. So totally different. So we don't, maybe we don't get a call back to that. But I don't, wait, no, the first purge is Next, after the purge election year, comes the first purge,

which probably throws us back to the first purge. Okay. Which a lot of people... I'm into that. All right, we got... Marissa Tomey is in this one. I'm not going to look. Greg, I'm not looking.

I'm not looking. I won't remember by the time we get there. She just said Marissa Tomey out loud, and I'm not going to forget that. I will. No, Mara Tome is not forgettable. We got to get out of here before I blow. Yeah, we got to go. We got to go.

We love you guys. Thanks. Comment. Tell us how cool we are. because we love you so much. And most importantly, remember to vote. Later, Rejects. Bye.
