Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a HeadGum Podcast. markets for a limited time only. This is Emily, Henley, and Sammy, and you're listening to Too Scary, Didn't Watch. Hi everyone. Welcome to Too Scary, Didn't Watch, the horror movie recap podcast for those too scared to watch for themselves. I'm Emily and I am too scared to watch scary movies. I'm Henley and I'm also too scared to watch scary movies. I'm Sammy and I love watching scary movies and so I watch them so that you don't have to. But Emily's the scary watcher this week.
Starting point is 00:00:59 Wow, wow, wow. And I'm really excited to hear about this movie. Me too, I'm curious. I'm excited to tell you. I have just returned from my travels abroad. She's back stateside. Wow. And I am brain dead and tired,
Starting point is 00:01:14 so I'm really excited to just, ooh, hear about a movie from my friend Emily. Yeah, sit back and relax, baby. I got you covered. Me too. I have no excuse, but I'm still brain dead and tired. So I shall also be sitting back. I think we all have a lot of excuses. I think there's a lot of reasons to be brain dead and tired. But before we get into this week's episode,
Starting point is 00:01:44 did anything scary happen to you guys this week? Oh, okay. So I need to tell you guys about a couple mornings ago, I woke up with Silas and May. I was with May and we were in their bedroom and she and Silas were fighting over some toy. This is very normal. And Silas took it. He ran to the other side of the room. May had a complete, you know, full physical breakdown, screaming, crying. And her body is the strongest small body that I've ever.
Starting point is 00:02:24 She's so strong. She's so strong. She's so strong and also she does things with it that an adult body cannot, I mean, she's 18 months. So she does this thing where she will fully go limp but also straighten her entire body. And she did that and she threw her head back and then she full force butt headed me in the collarbone and like actually I think head you in the car. Sorry sorry. But I had me gave me like a full like forehead like
Starting point is 00:02:53 like right in the collarbone like full forehead like right in the car. And I I don't know if you guys can see it on the video. She folded a, I think she gave me a hairline fracture in my collarbone. Like it hurts. Oh. It is so painful. Oh my God, Mae. Like it's so painful. How is her head?
Starting point is 00:03:14 Her head was fine. She didn't, that was, she was fine. She didn't even blink. She was just so. Oh shit. She was so mad about this tiny little toy car that Silas had taken from her. And again, it's not about the car. It's just the fact that Silas took something
Starting point is 00:03:29 that was in her possession. And she, it hurt, you guys, it hurts so badly. And that was like four days ago. Yeah, it's a kerpl. It's so painful. And this is also the collarbone that I broke in high school. Oh my God, no. I like fractured my collarbone in high school.
Starting point is 00:03:51 It went like, whoop, like completely, like went separate ways. And I- It went separate ways. And like, this was when I was playing field hockey in boarding school and my chemistry teacher had to drive me to the emergency room. And then I had to like sit upright for six weeks. Anyway, so I have a newfound fear and
Starting point is 00:04:16 appreciation of May's physical capacity. She is strong. Like she's so strong. Wow. It's amazing how strong she is. You need protective gear. You got to start wearing shoulder pads. Yeah. Oh, I forgot to tell you the best part. The best part is right before this.
Starting point is 00:04:39 I wish I had this on camera because of the way that I went down, the choreography was impeccable. She bit Silas as hard as she could on the shoulder and he screamed and he ran away. And then she fully put her head into my collarbone. And so then I kind of screamed. She is gonna be MMA fighter. I feel like this is unbelievable. But also like chef's kiss, like fuck yes.
Starting point is 00:05:06 I want my female child to be the strongest female that has ever lived. I want her to be invincible. I want her to be made of steel. I want her to be Superman. When somebody crosses her, she fucking gets hers. Yes, as she should, as is her right. I'm putting her into-
Starting point is 00:05:25 We just maybe need to let her understand a little bit better how and where to direct that energy. Of course, of course. She's 18 months. She's 18 months. It'll come with time. Yeah, she's got time. She's got time.
Starting point is 00:05:36 And yeah, I don't know, but I keep turning to Tim and being like, I'm in pain. I really think she actually kind of maybe broke my collarbone a little bit. Yeah, she might've, she might've. Yeah, and what do you do for that? Nothing. Sit upright for six weeks. Literally nothing. Like there's nothing you can do, you just have to kind of like.
Starting point is 00:05:54 Just like icing it and some. Try not to move too much. Yeah, keep your daughter away from you. Ouch. Ouchies. Ouch. Ouch. Ouchies. Really, really ouch.
Starting point is 00:06:07 So that's my scary thing. Yeah, that's scary. Yeah. What about you guys? Well, I was in Europe for two weeks. Long time. It was a long time. I'm mostly just so tired.
Starting point is 00:06:29 I mean, it's amazing. I'm very blessed. But jet lag is no joke. And walking like 20,000 steps a day is no joke. But of course, as I promised, I gotta tell you guys about the Titanic. Tell us. Exhibit. Oh, my God. I can't believe we didn't ask you about this before we started recording. Belfast. I took a train up to Belfast to see the place where Titanic was built.
Starting point is 00:06:57 I stood in the dock. Wow. The dry dock in which it was constructed. Yeah. Joel said that you guys texted him to be like, what do we do, like what is there to do in Belfast? Cause Joel studied abroad there. He was like, there's not really a lot to do in Belfast. It's really not that, you know, I mean, there's, I told, I said, there's the Titanic thing.
Starting point is 00:07:17 I was like, that's literally why they're, I was like, that's why Sammy's in Belfast. Like there's no, like there is no other reason. He was like, oh, I guess that makes sense. Yeah, if there's a Titanic museum there, I'm gonna be checking that out. That Samy Smart will be going to that museum. And I know about it already.
Starting point is 00:07:38 But so I've been to the Titanic exhibit that came to LA. It kind of travels around, check your local listings, cause it goes to a lot of cities. And- There's like a Titanic VR thing happening at some point. I don't know about that, but I did- In what capacity? I'm really not sure, but I will be looking into it more.
Starting point is 00:07:55 Like you're on the Titanic while it's like going into the water. It's like experience the Titanic and it's like which part of it, because you're in the water, would be really bad. But we'll look into it further. Anyway, continue of it? Because a lot of it would be really bad, but we'll look into it further. Anyway, continue.
Starting point is 00:08:08 So there was a lot of similarities. Something I really appreciated was it did a lot of history of Belfast and what led it to be one of the top locations for docks and building ships and just really nicely set the scene leading up to when Titanic was built. And the museum was great. But something I really did not expect is kind of what you're describing. There is a ride there, a experience, a full ride. It's like a... experience a full ride. It's like a...
Starting point is 00:08:50 It's like the pirate ship at a circus that travels around to local towns. You know, that like... No, no, no. It's not like that. But she's really horrifying. But I was just so shocked that there was a... It was like, wait here if you want to ride the ride. It's like, what are you talking about? Of course I'm waiting here to ride the ride. Wait, did you ride it?
Starting point is 00:09:12 Did you ride the ride? Yes, of course. You're not gonna go to the Titanic Museum and not ride the ride. Wait, okay, walk us through it from like A to Z. I wanna know everything about the ride. Okay, it was a little anticlimactic because yes, of course, when you think about the Titanic, the ride. Okay, it was a little anticlimactic because yes, of course, when you think about the Titanic,
Starting point is 00:09:26 the ride, you're like, uh, I think I know what this is going to be like. And it wasn't like that. It was quite a long line. Everybody was wanting to ride the Titanic ride. Sure. So bizarre. So bizarre. Titanic is so crazy. It's like at the Twin Towers Memorial, them being like, ride the Twin Towers ride. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Experience what it was like. Deeply inappropriate. Yeah, it's very inappropriate.
Starting point is 00:09:51 So we wait in the long line and then we get on the ride. And it's almost like a chairlift type thing that is connected from the top. And if you remember like the ET ride at Universal Studios, it's kind of like that, but it goes as if you're building the ship and it kind of lowers down. Sure, the part of the ride everybody wants to experience. And it was kind of lame.
Starting point is 00:10:19 There was like, there was videos and a little voice talking you through like, I worked 12 hour days banging this hammer. A bit of false advertising. They knew what they were doing. It was a building the Titanic, not a ride the actual Titanic. It was not riding the Titanic,
Starting point is 00:10:36 which I think is probably for the best, but I was a little disappointed. I was a little disappointed. But Titanic Belfast, check it out. Check it out. Basically Disney World. It was great. And then also another huge highlight,
Starting point is 00:10:54 just got a shout out, Abba Voyage in London. My God, she did it. She fucking did it. Oh, it was incredible. The arena was built specifically for the show where they are holograms, avatars. And they recorded like mocap. And it's a little freaky.
Starting point is 00:11:19 They look like uncanny valley a little bit. Yeah. It does not look 100% real, but it's still so cool. And I had so much fun. How many people are in that venue? Like how big is it? You know that I'm really bad at this. One million.
Starting point is 00:11:36 We don't see numbers. I'm sorry, I forgot. Yeah, I have no idea. Eight years old. Everyone there was eight. Yeah, there was one idea. Eight years old. Everyone there was eight, yeah. About eight. There was one million eight-year-olds there, I think.
Starting point is 00:11:48 Got it. Did you dance? Were you dancing in your seat? Hell yeah, hell yeah I did. Hell yeah. I freaking. Dancing queen. My dancing queen the night away.
Starting point is 00:12:04 I was on the dance floor. Our tickets were for the dance floor part of it, which at the time I was so tired that I was like, well, this was a huge mistake. I want nothing more than to sit during the show. But then of course, the sit during Ava starts playing. I'm like, ah! You can't sit during Ava.
Starting point is 00:12:20 Nobody can sit during Ava. And then I felt sorry for the people with seats cause they weren't really dancing because they don't really have the space for it. And I was just really grateful to be able to dance my little heart out. Yeah, yeah. God, I love ABBA.
Starting point is 00:12:35 Oh, ABBA's great. And I love the Titanic. What a perfect trip. So great to have interests. It is so great to have interests. It is so great to have interests and the freedom to explore them. Truly. I mean, that's really what it's all about.
Starting point is 00:12:52 Really, really, really charmed life. Oh, so great. I, okay, I was gonna say I have nothing to current tribute, current tribute. I just said that really weird. I'm tired for no reason. Not me, I said butt head and I still mean it. Yeah, I feel like I'm so busy.
Starting point is 00:13:11 I feel like I'm working all the time, whatever jobs, whatever, who cares. But I did last weekend, Joel and I discovered a new place. This will come out later than that in time, but last week was my birthday. And we went to the funniest, we stayed in a castle themed cottage,
Starting point is 00:13:31 cabin, castle themed cabin in Big Bear. And let me tell you what, more people need to build theme hotels, theme hotels, theme cabins. Set, decorate a place, I will pay you to stay in it. Put some whimsy in it, put some funny costumes in the closet, I'm fucking there.
Starting point is 00:13:48 I... It doesn't have to be high end. It doesn't have. It should be. In fact, it rarely is. It should be. But it does have to be done with care. And this place that we stayed in,
Starting point is 00:14:00 it was absolutely done with care. I'll shout them out. Castlewood cottages. Not every cabin is Castle themed. They all have different themes. One's a tree house. One's a pirate ship, Sammy. Um, once haunted themed. Oh my God. It's really special. We had a wonderful time. I'm just trying to stay in more themed places. And I also, cause I only ever wanted to be Madonna in, but I can't always exclusively go there for the rest of my life I mean I will but I also want to continue to explore and yeah that's a good question what are the other options besides Madonna there's a couple there's a cool one that I want to stay in in Los
Starting point is 00:14:35 Alamos I can't remember what it's called but the Victorian Mansion I think is what it's called if people know of other ones freaking let me know because I know that there's yeah yeah there's this Instagram account it's called. If people know of other ones, freaking let me know because I know that there's this Instagram account, it's called a Pretty Cool Hotel Tour and they only do this. They tour all the hotels that are weird and kitschy and themed like in the whole United States and a lot of them are in the middle of nowhere.
Starting point is 00:14:56 I would love someday to go to more of these places but I'm right now looking for more within driving distance of Southern California. But it was really fun and weird and I had a great time. Little scary because we didn't know if it was gonna be, you know, it could be terrible. It's like 50, 50 odds that you show up at a place like that and it's good, but it was great and I loved it.
Starting point is 00:15:20 And you weren't haunted, you weren't in the haunted zone. We weren't in the haunted one, but the haunted one does look cool. Like I would potentially stay in the haunted one. Yeah, that sounds fun. I just love a theme. I love a theme. I've also seen so many scary movies. I saw two scary movies this weekend in theaters. One of them we're not covering this week.
Starting point is 00:15:41 We will be covering soon. And so I just want to tell everybody to go see Sinners. I'm so excited. Oh, I want to do, when are we going to do Sinners? Because we're doing, we are doing it. I promise. I want to tell people now to go see it in theaters if you can. I'm seeing it tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:15:56 I can't wait. See it on a big screen. I'm going to go see it too. Yeah, I believe you. Do it, Henley. I believe you. It's not too scary if you can handle like gore and a few jump scares. It's fucking it blew my goddamn mind.
Starting point is 00:16:10 I can't wait until we talk about it. It has 98 percent around tomatoes. I'm hearing it's the movie of the year. Ryan Coogler is astounding. He is an astounding talent and I don't know how he pulled it off. And so I'm sorry, this is like very teesery and I'm sorry, because we will talk about it eventually. But I just want to make sure that if people are willing
Starting point is 00:16:25 and able, they go see it in theaters because it's so fucking cool. I sat next to Michael B. Jordan in a restaurant one time, not bragging. Wow, that's a big one. I do have to say like, I always knew he was attractive, but then seeing him in the physical space, I was like, I literally couldn't take my eyes off of him.
Starting point is 00:16:43 I was gonna say, it probably hurts to look at him. Well, and you get two of him in this one. You get two of him. He's a twin, he's a twin. Oh, wow, that is, twins are like, like kryptonite for a horror movie. I mean, who doesn't want a twin in a horror movie? But Michael B. Jordan also like duplicate him
Starting point is 00:16:59 and my ovaries are bursting. He was unbelievable. He's such a beautiful man. I literally felt kind of like I needed some help because I couldn't stop looking at him when I was sitting next to him. I couldn't keep my eyes off. He is one of the world's most beautiful people
Starting point is 00:17:17 that's ever been made. And like just charismatic person. Such a movie star, phenomenal actor. I really thought I was gonna be distracted by there being him and himself playing his twin. And I was like, nope, nope, I'm on board. Don't care, this is great. Give me more of him, more, more triplets.
Starting point is 00:17:32 Another movie that I saw just today in theaters that we will be covering is Drop. Oh, it's fresh, you guys. It's fresh in your mind. Just Drop, hot, fresh Drop. Hot covering is Drop. Oh, it's fresh you guys. It's fresh in your mind. Just Drop, hot fresh Drop. Hot fresh Drop. Hot fresh Drop. Drop Drop coming in.
Starting point is 00:17:51 Drop was just released April 11th of this year. Drop, now the word Drop is really funny to me. I'm gonna say it a lot of times, so just get ready. Drop was directed by Christopher Landon, written by Gillian Jacobs, not to be confused with Gillian Jacobs. Oh, yeah. Oh, I would have confused the two.
Starting point is 00:18:14 And Chris Roach, two people wrote the movie. Great, great, great. Starring Megan Fahey, Brandon Sklinar, Violet Bean, and Jeffrey Self. What do you guys know about Drawl? I've seen the trailer in theaters. Yep. And I'm intrigued.
Starting point is 00:18:33 I was kind of like, is this really bad? And then I was like, wait, or is it really good? Yeah, this, honestly, this and Sinners, two movies that from the trailer, I was like, well, these are terrible. These will be terrible movies. Right. Sometimes the trailer makes it seem like it'll be better.
Starting point is 00:18:50 Sometimes the trailer makes it seem like it'll be worse. Trailers hard nut to crack. Excited to see Megan Fahey in a horror movie. I feel like she's great. We love to see it. Of course, breakout star of White Lotus was in Your Monster, lest anyone forget. Nicole Zicko Lest you. Nicole Zicko And yeah, I'm just excited to see her in more stuff.
Starting point is 00:19:11 Nicole Zicko I do love her as an actress. I watched the series that she was in, The Bold Type. I watched that and I really enjoyed it. And then I've been like waiting to see her in more things. And mostly I've just like waiting to see her in more things. And mostly I've just been seeing her in like perfume ads. I feel like I just haven't seen her in as many things as I would like to. So I'm excited that she's in this. She's having a moment.
Starting point is 00:19:34 And this guy in this is in 1923. I feel like he's having a moment too. He is definitely having a moment. He's in 1923. He was in, it ends with us. Drama movie. Yeah, he's in the drama movie. Yeah, he's in the drama movie. He's in something else.
Starting point is 00:19:49 He's having a moment. Okay. He's in something else. So, okay, so is it like air dropping? It is like air dropping. Is it air dropping? It is like air dropping. So I haven't seen the trailer,
Starting point is 00:19:59 but I did see some pictures and I put two and two together that that's what drop meant. Airdropping, a horror movie about airdropping. I gotta say, I'm a little skeptical. I'll just say that right now. Well, let me give you a little information. Okay. It has an 84% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Starting point is 00:20:20 Wow, that's really good. A 65 on Metacritic and a 6.5 on IMDB. Standard. Okay, standard, standard. Budget of 11 million, box office of 14.8 million. It's limited out for two weeks, so good for them. Okay. Hell yeah. And it is loosely inspired by Olivia Hsu's experience
Starting point is 00:20:37 at a dinner with her partner, executive producer, Sam Lerner and friend, producer Cameron Fuller, where Hsu kept receiving random Shrek memes via AirDrop. That's funny. That's very funny. That is really funny. That's literally the only trivia I have is that that is what inspired this movie.
Starting point is 00:20:56 Inspiration can come at any moment. So if you're just anywhere, someone could AirDrop anything to you, right? I think so because I'm always nervous that that I'm gonna do it to my neighbors. Yes. Or the thing I'm more nervous about is that I'm gonna Chromecast or Airplay, cause sometimes my neighbors TVs pop up and I'm like, oh fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, I better not.
Starting point is 00:21:18 Yes, so I think the deal with air, someone still has to like accept, right? Like if you, but you know how you get like a little preview, right, like of what it is that's being, but you know how you get like a little preview, right? Like of what it is that's being sent to you. You can like see it and it says like, Henley wants to send you three photos and you can hit accept or decline.
Starting point is 00:21:33 So you can see if it's like my boobs. So I can see if it's your boobs. Yeah. So Henley, I could see if you're trying to send me pictures of your boobs, just so you know. Dang it. Okay. Keep that in mind. Also, you can't airdrop me like right now, right?
Starting point is 00:21:45 I have to be near you. That's another thing about airdrop. In the same vicinity. Yeah. Okay. So the rules, the rules of, they don't call it airdropping. They call it, for legal reasons. What do they call it? Dropping.
Starting point is 00:21:57 Data, data drop or something like that. But it's the, it's the same thing. Yeah. So, you know, all the rules that you know about airdrop apply here to drop, drop, just regular drop. Great. I like a drippy drop.
Starting point is 00:22:11 Drip drop. Drip drop. Got it. We are not going to watch the trailer until after because it does reveal literally everything. Quite a lot, yep. Literally everything. And somehow makes it look worse than the movie is,
Starting point is 00:22:24 which is weird, but we'll watch it at the end. I think it's time we just freaking drop right in. Ooh, nice. Beautiful.

It's like a Bond movie. We're like zooming in on like, it's like floating cocktail glasses and then they shatter and we zoom through floating clocks,
Starting point is 00:25:41 ticking the time and they shatter. And where it's like really, while a song plays and like the names of the people come. And it's like really, while a song plays and like the names of the people come up, it's like really dramatic and intense. At the skyfall. Truly, truly, it's like, it's so intense. Adele singing in her silhouette. Oh.
Starting point is 00:25:56 It's like immediately, I was like, I don't know what tone this movie is going to have. Yeah. But in a way that I was excited by, because I was like, I guess, because it's like, it's a choice. Is it a joke or is it serious? Right.
Starting point is 00:26:11 And I think the answer is it's both. Ooh, wow. Love it. Title sequence ends and we open on Megan Fahey's closeup on her face, her character's name is Violet. Her face, we can see it's covered in blood. She sort of comes to and is like army crawling herself across the floor.
Starting point is 00:26:33 We see on her hand she has a wedding ring, one of the hands that she's using to drag herself. She is being followed by a man. He kicks her. She turns around to face him. It's horrible, she's crying. And he is holding a gun to her and screaming at her and telling her, you know, this is all your fault. You're making me do this.
Starting point is 00:27:05 Hands her the gun and is like, oh, you want to do it. You want to shoot me, you think you're like tough enough. Puts the gun in her hand. She holds the gun up to him, puts her finger on the trigger, clearly having a really, really hard time acting in this moment. Not acting like in general.
Starting point is 00:27:26 Not Megan Piggity actress. It's an action, doing an action. Yeah. We do see, sorry, Henlea, toddler crying behind like a baby gate. Two thumbs down, like a hundred thumbs down to that. Zoom really, really close in on her finger on the trigger. We see it start to pull back, cut to a beautiful, bright, shiny house daylight. Years later, we see Megan Fahey
Starting point is 00:27:55 looking great sitting at a computer screen doing virtual therapy. She is a therapist and she is providing counseling to clearly a woman who has is a survivor of domestic abuse. And she is providing counseling to clearly a woman who has, is a survivor of domestic abuse. And she's talking her through it and telling her, like, I want you to look at yourself in the selfie on your screen. Look at this woman and all that she's been through, how strong she is. I want you to like really see her
Starting point is 00:28:18 and know how much value she has. It's very profound. She clearly has a lot of, found a lot of purpose in this. The therapy session ends. She gets a text from Henry. We see the name Henry with a little photo. It's Brandon's Glen are. He's having a moment. He's having, you may know an actor who's having a moment. He was in the movie with the drama. And Ed says, last chance to run for the hills. And she laughs, he's flirty. She jumpscares, there's a knock on the window,
Starting point is 00:28:54 it's a man coming to read her gas meter. She says with the window like, oh, it's around the back, you can just go through the gate. And he does. Later that night, she's getting ready. She's gotten ready for her date. She's in the kitchen. She's wearing this like Navy blouse with a high neck.
Starting point is 00:29:11 I mean, it's satiny, it's pretty, but it's like, she looks like very professional. She's in the kitchen and a little toy truck, motorized toy truck drives up to her with a note in the truck bed. And it says to mommy and she opens it and it says, you have to come and find Sir Toby, he's hiding. She smiles, she's like, oh, where's Sir Toby?
Starting point is 00:29:33 Where could he be? Walking around, is he in here? Is he in here? Pretends not to see him in one of the doorways and he jumps out and she's like, oh, Sir Toby. And they have like a little play fight. He's really cute. He's five, he's got little glasses, really cute little kid.
Starting point is 00:29:49 Oh, just then the, you know, the door opens, it's Auntie Jen, she comes in, gives him a big hug. She's babysitting for the night. She takes one look at her sister in that outfit and she's like, that's what you're wearing. Cut to they're upstairs in the bedroom picking out a new outfit for the date. Everything she puts on is too businessy.
Starting point is 00:30:10 It's not right. It's not date like at all. And she's clearly very nervous. Her sister sits her down and is like, it's just a date. You need to get back out there. Not every man is gonna be Blake. If you have a bad time, you can leave early, but just like you've been talking to this guy for months,
Starting point is 00:30:28 you finally agreed to go on a date, like I know you're excited about this, put on something beautiful and like have a good time. Everything's gonna be fine. Obviously everything's gonna be fine. Obviously. You're not gonna get dropped. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:43 And so she pulls out this like deep V front velvet red jumpsuit situation gives it to her. And it's like, if the day goes well, you're going to be happy that you're wearing this. Puts on the jumpsuit and she leaves for the date as she's leaving. She tells her sister like, you know, make sure he's in bed by eight.
Starting point is 00:31:02 If you don't, I'll know. And like points to the indoor security camp, like bring camera situation is like, I'll be watching. So like, make sure you get him to bed on time. Like, yes, yes, go, go, go have fun. She arrives, she gets out of her Uber at the restaurant. We see it's this big high rise building. This movie set in Chicago, big high rise building, but filmed in Ireland.
Starting point is 00:31:21 Anyway. Well, I feel like didn't you see the Rob Lowe clip? I didn't see the Rob Lowe clip't you see the Rob Lowe clip? I didn't see the Rob Lowe clip. What's the Rob Lowe clip? The Rob Lowe clip is... The Rob Lowe clip. The Rob Lowe clip. Oh, you didn't see the Rob Lowe clip. Let me tell you about the Rob Lowe clip.
Starting point is 00:31:32 Tell you about the Rob Lowe clip. Tell me about the Rob Lowe clip. Tell me. Drop the Rob Lowe clip. Drop the Rob Lowe clip. He's on a podcast with Adam Scott and, I mean, I think it's Rob Lowe's podcast. Rob Lowe's podcast.
Starting point is 00:31:42 Uh... And he's talking about the game show that he hosts and they film it in Ireland. And he says it's cheaper to fly 100 people from Los Angeles to Ireland and film there than it is to film anything in Los Angeles. Yeah, it's not great. Insane.
Starting point is 00:31:58 It's not great. So anyway, it's Chicago, but it's also Ireland. I get it. I mean, this is, I'm unfortunately on my t-shirt, I'll have to grow them. I do see a lot of videos of women being like, cost breakdown of how it's cheaper to fly to South Korea to get all of my a hundred facial reconstructions.
Starting point is 00:32:16 Yes, I've heard this about South Korea. Where it's so much cheaper to like go and do literally, you do everything there and it's a gazillion times cheaper than just doing it in America for a lot of reasons. Hot tip. If you need another excuse to visit South Korea. I would go to South Korea real bad for different reasons. But I mean, while you're there.
Starting point is 00:32:35 Yeah, you can have your face blasted off. Yeah, but good to know. Separate reasons, obviously. Anyway, she shows up at this building. It's a big high rise. She gets out, she looks nervous. She says to herself's a big high rise. She gets out she looks nervous She says to herself, it's just a date gets in the elevator It's one of those where the restaurants like on the roof or on the like top floor of the building
Starting point is 00:32:53 As she gets out of the elevator she gets a text from Henry says he's running a ten minutes lady So sorry, please don't leave like I promise I'll be there soon. I'm so excited I so she's like goes up checks in at the hostess stand She's like, can I just get a drink and wait at the bar? And the woman says, yes, I'll let you know when he's here. She walks through this like it's a very fancy fancy restaurants called palette. And it's a gorgeous dining room. She like walks through this hallway into this big gorgeous like 360 view restaurant. She looks excited. Sits at the bar, bartender's lovely woman
Starting point is 00:33:29 and asks her, you know, what can I get you? And she just orders a glass of wine. A man comes over to her very quickly and is like, Diane? And she says, no, I'm sorry, I'm not Diane. He's like, oh, sorry, I'm on a blind date. I, you know, it's so rare to like meet somebody for the first time and I'm so nervous and I thought maybe you were her and she's like, no, I'm sorry. I'm like waiting for somebody else and they have like a kind of awkward but nice little
Starting point is 00:33:58 back and forth and she tells him like, good for you know, it's going to be great. Don't worry. You know, that's it's exciting. They have like a little cheers. Nothing bad ever happens on a first date. Nothing bad ever happens on a first date. He asks her, like, am I sweating? I'm so nervous.
Starting point is 00:34:12 She's like, no, no, no, you look great. We see his date does then arrive. And he's like, hey. And we see the woman immediately looks like kind of disappointed. She's like, oh. And Violet also clocks this and like feels a little sad for him. And as he passes her to like go to his table with the woman, he like does a little like
Starting point is 00:34:29 bye and lays like all excited and she's sort of like all poor guy. They go off to their table, the piano player from the restaurant then comes up to the bar next to her and is like, Hey, you got any requests? And is like kind of sleazy. Actually think he's British. Got any requests? And the bartender immediately is like, leave her alone. She's waiting for a date.
Starting point is 00:34:51 Like, here's your drink, fucking go back to the piano. And oh, no, Megan Fahey does say, sorry, Violet. She is like, yeah, do you know Baby Shark? Nice. That's a joke. She's like, that's the only song I listen to. My son loves Baby Shark. And yet the bartender's like gives him his martini and is like, go back to the piano.
Starting point is 00:35:07 Like you don't need to be hitting on every woman you see. Don't you have a job to do? Sends him away. The bartender is like, so sorry about that. How old is your kid? She says five. Oh, my kid's nine. They have a nice little bonding moment.
Starting point is 00:35:20 Violet tells her that she's on a first date and she's like, good for you, get back out there, it'd be great. Wait, okay, hold on. Do you guys know that violets are weeds? Did you know about this? No. Okay, so our whole entire front lawn is littered with violets, like purple flowers everywhere.
Starting point is 00:35:36 Aw. Most beautiful, most beautiful. That's nice. Amazing. And apparently they're like dandelions, they're like weeds. Who knew? Who knew? Weeds, we need a different name for these flowers
Starting point is 00:35:48 that are gorgeous and spreading up everywhere. I don't want to call this beautiful purple flower a weed. How dare I call it that? You could call it a violet. I do call it a violet. And I wish that other people didn't call it a weed, you know? And so anyway, that's something I learned today, like this morning, so I have to share it.
Starting point is 00:36:07 Let's call them resilient plants. Exactly. Resilient blooms. They just rolls up the tongue. Powerful, powerful plants. What is up with us targeting these beautiful plants as weeds when really what they are is powerful and resilient?
Starting point is 00:36:25 Thank you, thank you. Put that on a t-shirt. So just then, Violet gets her phone buzzes. She, oh, she had sent a text to her sister being like, waiting at the bar, he's late, send me a picture of Toby, how's it going? So she keeps checking her phone, not getting it, not getting your phone buzzes.
Starting point is 00:36:40 And it's a data drop notification. And it's just a meme. It's up my boobs. And it's a data drop notification. And it's just a meme. It's at my boobs. And it's at Penley's boobs. And I think there she's at it again. And it's being sent to her by the icons, it's by Let's Play, and it's like the little devil emoji face. Oh, those motherfuckers.
Starting point is 00:36:59 And she could accept her decline, and she hits decline and puts her phone down. And just then she looks up and we see Henry walking in. He comes over to her. They're both excited like, oh, it's great to be finally doing this. They go over to their table, sit down. It's like right up against the window and this, again, you can look out on all of Chicago, Ireland and they're making kind of anxious, small talkie, getting set up chatter, but like they're excited to be there with each other and it's flirty and it's cute.
Starting point is 00:37:29 She once again, as they're sitting down, gets another notification, declines it for another Mimi data drop thing. And this one's like, you know, me. And then like you ignoring my notifications or something. She's like not doing it. And he has his like camera bag with him and he tells her like,
Starting point is 00:37:49 oh, sorry, I had to bring my camera bag. I can't leave my camera in the car. She's like, no, no, that's so fine. He gives her a hockey puck, like whatever the hockey team is for Chicago. We all know it. We all know it. I don't need to say it to yourselves.
Starting point is 00:38:04 You're tired of hearing it. We all know it's something we all know. Deep dish pizzas. The deep dish pizzas. The demon. The deep dish devils. I really don't know what it is. It's like no, we're in my brain. No, yeah. The Mavericks. Not in a million years. Not in a million years. The Mavericks. It's the basketball team, a hockey puck of the basketball team, the Dallas Mavericks, and he gives it to her and says thank you and says, this is for Toby. I thought like now that you guys live in Chicago, he should know what team to root for. And he gives it to her and he's like, sorry,
Starting point is 00:38:35 was that weird? Was that really lame? Then weird that I did that. And she's like, no, it's really sweet. He's gonna love it. He'll break my window with it, but he'll really love it. And they're like, it's the love it. He'll break my window with it, but he'll really love it. And they're like, Oh, the Bulls is the Bulls. Yeah, the hockey team, the Chicago Bulls,
Starting point is 00:38:50 the basketball team. The Michael Jordan was so good on the hockey team. Yeah, he was their best hockey player. He did basketball and then he did baseball and then he did hockey. And they called him all the Bulls. The Bulls. He said to me, if I'm on the team, it's the Bulls.
Starting point is 00:39:04 And they said, well, you're Michael Jordan. So we can, yeah. And you always play for the Bulls. And you always play for the Bulls. And I took that personally. And Megan Fahey said, if I'm going to be in this movie, if I'm going to be in this movie, they're called the Bulls.
Starting point is 00:39:23 And she gets, they're having a really nice time. They're being fl really nice time. They're being flirty and cute. And she gets another drop notification. This time it's dude with sign and it says stop, his sign says stop ignoring my drops. And she, oh, she had said to Henry, oh, his name is Henry. I already said that.
Starting point is 00:39:40 She had said to Henry. She had said to Henry. I'm so sorry, I know it's really rude, but I'm going to like leave my phone on the table because my son's at home. And so that's, you know, the justification for her being so aware of her phone. And so it buzzes and she's like, it's probably my son. It's another drop. And she shows it to him and he's like, oh yeah, this is a thing that like, I think this is a game that people do.
Starting point is 00:40:02 It happens to me a lot on the train. People like try to send you pictures of things. And she's like, yeah, that makes more sense on the train with us, like a nice restaurant, like who would be messing with me at a restaurant? So they're like, OK, well, let's try to find out. And they like look around and they make a joke. There's like a couple that's like all over each other and like, well, it's not them. Like Lord knows they can only see each other.
Starting point is 00:40:22 There's like older, you know, elderly couple. They're like, well, it's not them. They Lord knows they can only see each other. There's an older, elderly couple. They're like, well, it's not them. They don't know how to use their phones. Ha ha ha. And then they see a table of a bunch of teens at prom. They're like, oh, it's obviously, it's the prom teens. So we're like, whatever, let's forget about it. But then she gets another drop notification
Starting point is 00:40:41 and it's that meme of that girl who looks sad, looks like, no, I don't wanna to do that and then she's like oh but maybe I do you know that like taste that she's like tasting sodas. She's like not this one but oh this one. And so the meme is messing with a stranger and then that's the bad face and then the next one is messing with violet and she's like this person knows my name. Oh. He is like, oh, well that, that's okay. That's actually not that scary. Cause he like pulls up, you know how you pull up airdrop it says like Emily's iPhone or whatever.
Starting point is 00:41:14 And so he's like, so they see your name that way. But like- This guy's in on it, huh? Let's try to figure out, let's try to figure out who it is. So he's like, this thing only works within like a 50 foot radius. So he like gets out his little measuring app on his phone and he like gets up and does a lap around the room
Starting point is 00:41:31 and she's like watching him and he's being like cute and like acting like he's being a little detective and like making eye contact with her and like walking around the restaurant. He's like, okay. So 50 feet is like this whole restaurant basically is 50 feet so it could be anybody in here They're like, okay
Starting point is 00:41:48 Just then their waiter arrives He just has a really funny vibe. He's like this my first night. It's your first date. Oh my god That's so exciting and like I'm actually I do improv on the side It's just like being very over-the-top comedy this waiter and so he, you know, really talking up a storm. They are having a fun little inside joke about it. Sort of laughing about this funny waiter when she gets a text now notification from this let's play person telling her to check her security cameras. Uh, she opens the app on her phone, her own, oh no opens the app on her phone. She opens the app on her phone. Her own, oh no.
Starting point is 00:42:23 Opens the app on her phone, cycles through she sees in her son's room, Toby and Auntie Jen reading a bedtime story, all good. Hallway, all good. Front door, all good. Living room, man with a gun. Oh no. Oh, you really don't wanna see
Starting point is 00:42:41 man with a gun in your living room. And she immediately gets a text that says, don't tell anybody, don't say anything. If you say anything, your son dies. Is this a known number or? Yeah, it's like this like, let's play icon or whatever. Okay. But yeah, it's not a contact of hers.
Starting point is 00:42:59 She's like, I gotta go use the bathroom and like runs up from the table. She starts to type 911 into her phone, gets a text. It's like, I gotta go use the bathroom, and like runs up from the table. She starts to type 911 into her phone, gets a text. It's like, I hacked your phone. I see everything you're doing. Call 911 when your son dies. Tell anyone your son dies. If your date leaves, your son dies.
Starting point is 00:43:18 Pretty bad. Ooh. Oh, I hate this. God, dating is so scary. Dating is so scary. I mean, I feel like the date has to be in charge of it, don't you think? We're gonna find out him.
Starting point is 00:43:28 And also, just go immediately home. You're like, I've gotta go home, you're gonna come with me. I have so much ice cream at my house, so you're gonna love it. But there's a man in her house with a gun, and if she does anything, he'll get to her son first. Because he's tracking her location,
Starting point is 00:43:40 he knows exactly where she is. He knows exactly where she is. She leaves her phone at the restaurant, and then she immediately gets in a car. But whoever is sending her these things has to be at the restaurant in order to be able to send them to her. Oh, right, right, right.
Starting point is 00:43:51 So they're there with her. She just doesn't know who it is. So there's at least two people involved. So it's her abusive ex? Earlier when she was looking around the room, we saw everyone is on their phones, right? That's also, they're trying to see who it is. Everyone is doing that's also like, they're like trying to see who it is. Everyone is doing something on their phone.
Starting point is 00:44:07 So it's like impossible to discern who it is. But so she's in the bathroom, she's freaking out. A group of girls, those prom girls come in, all like talking and chatting. And a text comes in that says, do you say anything to those girls, your son dies? She's freaking out. She goes up to one of them and was like,
Starting point is 00:44:23 hi, hi, sorry, can I borrow your, I need your eyeliner. They're like putting on makeup at the mirror and the girl's like, okay. Gives it to her and she starts writing on her hand. She's starting to write call 911, but she writes starting to write call and the girl's like, Cal. And she's like, like trying to get her to be like, shut up.
Starting point is 00:44:40 And she like, she's like, can I have my eyeliner back? She like gives the eyeliner back and she gets a text on her phone from this same person that says, are you stupid? And she like, she's like, can I have an eyeliner back? She like gives the eyeliner back. And she gets a text on her phone from the same person that says, are you stupid? Which really made me laugh. What would you do? What would you guys do right now?
Starting point is 00:44:55 Emily, you're so resourceful. Sammy, you're so resourceful. What would you do? What would you do? My genius friends. It's really hard to say. It's really hard to say. It's really hard to say. I think the kid aspect of it obviously really complicates it
Starting point is 00:45:10 because if somehow it were happening to me as I am today, childless, something tells me I would just ignore it. Yeah, right, right, right. Just like hope it went away. Right, because you can like, if they're not threatening something that you really care about, then you can just ignore it. But I kind of feel like maybe you have to ask your date
Starting point is 00:45:31 to like go up to the bartender and have them call 911, but like get them to do it in a very easy way where you're just like being like cute and like get me another drink and, but also like going to call 911. I think you just- Truly call and go call 911. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:45:46 You hope you have lipstick in your own purse or like- So these are all things we're gonna get to. Okay, great. Oh, okay, we're doing all this. We're doing all this. We're workshopping it right now. Well, in this moment, she starts looking around the bathroom, the girls leave,
Starting point is 00:46:00 starts looking around the bathroom being like, where is this person? Like, she's like looking for cameras. She's like, what the fuck? How are they looking at me? How are they seeing me? And we see that there's a vase of flowers in the bathroom that is bugged with a mic.
Starting point is 00:46:12 So she sees that. She goes back to her table and she's trying to act normal because now she's like, someone in here is threatening me. They're also threatening my son. They told me to act cool. So I'm gonna try to do that. But she's looking around the table.
Starting point is 00:46:24 She sees the lamp at her table is also bugged. So she can't say anything to her date because they'll hear. You just start burping and farting like Robert Durst. Her date might be Robert Durst. Her date might be Robert Durst. But so she's trying to act cool while texting this person. She says, like, what do you want from me? And I think they're like ordering dinner and she's like got her phone inside the menu and was like, what do you want from me?
Starting point is 00:46:54 And he says, get the SIM card out of his camera and destroy it. She's like, how do I do that? And he says, figure it out. So she's at, you know's at the table talking to him. She under the table takes her watch off and puts it in her purse and then like brings her hands up on the table and is talking and is like,
Starting point is 00:47:17 oh my God, my watch. Oh shoot, my watch must've fallen off. Do you see it anywhere? Oh, I knew the class was loose. Oh gosh, when did I last have it? Would you mind, I'm gonna check around the table. Would you mind asking the hostess if anyone has brought it to her?
Starting point is 00:47:36 And he is a little bit like, okay, yeah, sure. Thank you so much. And so he's like, okay, yeah, I'll go. I'll go ask the hostess. So he gets up and the hostess stand is outside of the restaurant, like down this hallway. So she knows she has a little bit of time. So he gets up, he starts walking out as soon as she sees him around the corner. She goes through his camera bag, opens it up, takes out his camera,
Starting point is 00:47:59 turns it on and starts flipping through the pictures to see what's on there. I don't know why she's wasting her time with this, but she does. And it's, we see pictures of the mayor and then a bunch of pictures close up of like financial documents that are clearly not, you know, pictures he was supposed to be taking. She just in the nick of time, he starts coming back, gets the SIM card out, puts the kids camera back back. He gets back in the seat. Nope. Post it didn't see it. She's like, gets a SIM card out, puts his camera back back, he gets back in the seat. No, Pelsa didn't see it. She's like, oh, well, thanks for checking.
Starting point is 00:48:28 She asks him, do you like your job? How's your job? You're a photographer, that must be interesting. And he's like, yeah, she's like, you know, you work with the mayor. He's like, yeah, I've been working with him for five years. Just do you think he's a good guy? And he's like, yeah, yeah, he's a good guy.
Starting point is 00:48:43 And then she goes, oh my gosh, you know what? I just realized I went to the bathroom. And so my watch is probably in the bathroom. I'm going to go check on it. I will be right back. He is very much clocking her strange behavior, but it's sort of like letting he's sort of at this moment, I think, chalking it up to like she's feeling weird about being on this date. She's feeling weird about being away from her son.
Starting point is 00:49:05 They've had like a few little moments where he's like, is everything okay with your kid? And she was like, hey, I don't know. It's totally fine. Everything's fine. She, at one point she was like, yeah, there was like a bedtime emergency, but it's fine. And so he's sort of like giving her the benefit of the doubt here, but thinks she's being pretty weird.
Starting point is 00:49:18 She goes to the bathroom. She finds another like vase on the counter, smashes the shit out of that SIM card, gets a text that's like, now flush it, flushes down the toilet, job done. And she says into the little microphone, she's like, I did what you asked me to do, let my son go. And it gets a text that's like, you're not in control
Starting point is 00:49:36 and you're not done yet. Tells her to open the paper towel dispenser and to reach inside. She does, and she finds a little vial of, we assume, something lethal. Poison. And he says, now you have to kill your date. Oh boy.
Starting point is 00:49:55 And she starts crying and she says out loud, she's like, I can't do that, I'm not gonna do that. And he says, yes, you will, you have to, you are your sundaes and it's okay, you've killed a man before. He deserved it. So he also knows her history. She's freaking out, but she takes the vial with her.
Starting point is 00:50:14 She comes back out of the bathroom. Oh, I forgot to mention, when she first walked into the bar, she sort of like almost collided with this man. She was looking at her phone and walked into him and they both had like, oh, sorry moment. When she comes out of the bathroom this time, she clocks that this dude is still sitting around the bar. He's been on his phone a lot and his vibe is weird.
Starting point is 00:50:39 So she walks up to him, she stares at him and he's like, hi. And she says, you've been at the bar a long time. Are you waiting for someone? She's like really trying to suss him out. Like, what's this guy's deal? And he's like, yeah, I'm waiting for my sister. Aren't you on a date?
Starting point is 00:50:55 Like, why are you talking to me? But he's being kind of weird. She sort of just stands there and stares at him. But she's like, yeah, I guess I'll get back to my table. So she's still suspicious of him, but there isn't like enough of a reason for her to keep talking to him, but she doesn't trust him. On her way back to the table, she sees the guy that she talked to at the bar who was on the blind date.
Starting point is 00:51:20 That woman gets up and leaves. She just like exits the date. I think she calls him an asshole and like leaves. And Violet clocks this and makes a little like, sorry, guy face to him. And they have like a little moment. She gets back to the table and is like, sorry, let's order.
Starting point is 00:51:41 I've been being weird. Let's order dinner.'ve been being weird. So, you know, let's order dinner. Their waiter comes over and just then on the piano, she starts to hear Baby Shark. The piano player's playing a beautiful rendition of Baby Shark. She looks over at him, they make eye contact. He does a little like nod to her, like, see, I did it.
Starting point is 00:52:01 And she has a little light bulb moment. She says, he's playing my song. Gets out a $20 bill from her wallet and some lipstick and under the table writes on a $20 bill, hostages at 27 Hudson Street. Okay. at 27 Hudson Street. Okay. She folds it up so you can't see what's written on it.
Starting point is 00:52:30 She goes to the waiter and she says, will you give this directly to the piano player? He's playing my song and I just want him to know that this came from me. He's like, yeah, that's so sweet. Is there a reason why she can't give it to him? I think she's nervous to do anything that would look obvious. Anyone could see that, yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:50 Because she knows she's being watched. But they'll also know this came from, yeah, I don't know. Don't you kind of feel like you would like immediately bring everyone in? That's like my instinct. I'm like, bring everyone in. Tell everyone. Tell everyone in the restaurant. I was gonna say one thing to do is just start absolutely screaming, fake a seizure, just like, ah. I know, except then whoever this is is gonna
Starting point is 00:53:15 tell the person to kill your son. Or kill your son, I know, I know. I know, it's really tricky. It's really tricky. But like my instinct is just like, tell your date. Like tell the leader, like tell the waiter. I know, I don't know. Like tell, like.
Starting point is 00:53:27 I don't know, and I will say people are clocking, like the waiter is clocking that she's being weird. Because also like, why do you trust the piano player over your date? Like, why do you trust like anyone over anyone else? That's the thing. It's like, everyone's equally trustworthy or not trustworthy in this situation.
Starting point is 00:53:45 Right. Everyone's a suspect. Yeah. I feel like I forgot to mention at one point as well, and I can't remember exactly when it happens. I think it's after she realizes their table is bugged. She does say like, oh my God, I'm actually, I'm afraid of heights and we need to move tables.
Starting point is 00:54:03 So she asks Henry to ask the waiter to we need to move tables. So she asks Henry to ask the waiter to get them to move tables. It's a kind of a whole to do, but they're like, okay, yes, we can move your table. The waiter's all proud of himself since his first day. He's like, I did it, got you guys a new table. They get up, they start going to that table and she gets a text that's like,
Starting point is 00:54:21 don't you fucking dare move tables, go back to your table. So then she has to be like, actually I should face my fears. And I like that table, and let's go back to her first table. So like the waiters clock, everyone's clocking that she's being weird. Yeah, no, she's being weird.
Starting point is 00:54:35 And her date is clocking, like Henry's clocking that she's being weird, but they're like, is she just a weird lady? I don't know. Anyway, they can't move tables. She is somewhat feeling stuck in her position, but she gets the waiters like, absolutely I'll give this $20 bill to the piano player. This is why you share locations with your friends.
Starting point is 00:54:52 Exactly. Well, they all know that she's supposed to be at the restaurant. She moved tables in the restaurant, but then she moved back. I don't think it's that accurate. But I will say I get really nervous when I don't, when I expect to hear from somebody and I don't, specifically Joel. And I thought turning location on would mean that I wouldn't get as nervous.
Starting point is 00:55:12 No, it turns out I could just be nervous about like, they're at that place, but are they okay at that place? Because this just happened to me the other night where I was like, yeah, I know where he is, but he might be dead there and his phone is still on. Because I'm not a rational person. It turns out he was fine. But the waiter gives the $20 to the piano player.
Starting point is 00:55:34 He just like grabs it and puts it in his pocket. Doesn't look at it. Cause you know, we don't inspect all the money that we're given. I think it would be pretty weird if he opened it up to look at it. Is this a full, like a real $20 bill? Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Starting point is 00:55:49 But he does get up to go get another drink because it's his break. So he's got his $20. He gets up, he goes to the bar. She's watching him like, is he going to look, is he going to look, is he going to look? Can't entirely see what he's doing, but we do see him take out that $20 bill. His back is kinda to us. We see him wide-eyed, turn around, look at her, turn back around, pick up his phone to make a phone call, look at his phone.
Starting point is 00:56:18 He pays with the $20, gets his drink, comes back to the piano. He's looking like, what the fuck? So like, he has, he's definitely like seen something. She's like, did he do it? Did he see, is this like, what's going on? He downs his martini in one gulp, gets back at the piano like, okay,
Starting point is 00:56:39 time to play the piano and starts playing and immediately starts seizing. Oh no. Foaming in the mouth. He's trying my trick. He's trying your trick. Violet gets a text that says that was a fucking stupid idea and he's not the only person now who you'll hurt.
Starting point is 00:57:00 How did they know that? She opens up her security cameras and sees the man with the gun knock her sister out. And then Toby comes down stairs. He grabs Toby, throws him in his room, shuts the door and like ties it like ropes around like the door to the stairwell like locking Toby into his room. Okay, that's okay. Because Toby's okay in there. Toby's okay so far.
Starting point is 00:57:26 Oh boy. So, Henry and some other men gather around the piano player, he's passed out, he comes to me, he's like, I'm okay, just one too many drinks I think, and he stumbles out into the lobby, his text comes through that's like, he's not gonna live to make it out of this building. But Toby can if you fucking do your shit right.
Starting point is 00:57:50 And she gets up once again to go to the bathroom and like sort of steal herself to do this. She's crying, but she's like, I gotta fucking do this. We see her have a flashback of that night with her ex-husband. We once again see it get like so close to whatever's gonna happen, but the memory doesn't go all the way there.
Starting point is 00:58:15 But she seems like she's like, I gotta fucking do this. Exits the bathroom, goes over her table and sees that Henry is closing the tab and getting ready to go. And she's like, no, no, no, what's going on? He's like, oh, we're just having so much fun. He's like, it really seems like, you know, this is not, let's try this again another time.
Starting point is 00:58:37 Like, I don't wanna keep you here. Like, you know, and she's like, no, no, I'm sorry. I like, I know I've been anxious, but like, I really wanna be here. And it's, you know, it's, he's like, I, no, I'm sorry. I like, I know I've been anxious, but like, I really want to be here. And it's, you know, it's, he's like, I'm not, we can do it another time. It's, it's okay. And she kisses him to make him want to stay.
Starting point is 00:58:56 Oh boy. And it works. And she's like, you know what we need to do? We need to reset. Let's reset. Let's do shots. Oh, and he's like, um, I got, you know, I have some work I have to do tonight. And she's like, yeah, that was a stupid idea.
Starting point is 00:59:16 I just like, I just really wanted, you know, to bring some lightness back. It's been a really weird night. Um, that was a stupid idea. And he's like, you know what? Fuck it. Yeah. Let's do shots. Sure.
Starting point is 00:59:31 Shots never killed anyone. Not even great in the context of this because surely they have in the grand scheme of things. Yes. And being shot certainly has killed so many people. Sure, but that's not what he means. But you're right about that. You are right about that.
Starting point is 00:59:48 But he's like, let me go get the, he's like, I'll get our waiter's attention. She's like, no, no, no, no, no, like I'll go, it's the least I can do. I'm gonna go to the bar. I'm gonna get us some shots. He's like, okay, great, sounds good. She gets up and as she does, she knocks her purse over.
Starting point is 01:00:03 She doesn't realize, but from within the purse falls out the watch and he sees it. And so now he's like, what the fuck is up with her? Yeah. Now he's suspicious of her. Yeah. She goes to the bar, she orders two shots of tequila. The bartender's like, hey, how's your first date going?
Starting point is 01:00:22 And she's like, oh, it's really great. It's going so well. Actually, it's the best first date that's ever been. And the bartender's like, are you sure? You seem pretty on edge. And she's like, it's just first date jitters. I promise, everything's fine. And the bartender's like, okay, pours her shots, turns her back, and we see her begin to,
Starting point is 01:00:47 she likes tries to really carefully pull out that little vial to pour it into one of the shot glasses. She gets a text that says, do it at the table. She's like, okay, so she doesn't do that. The bartender asks like, do you want some limes? And she's like, no, this is good. Just raw dog and tequila. Takes her shots back to the table
Starting point is 01:01:07 and Henry hands her her watch. And it's like, hey, I found this in your purse. Your purse opened when you left and I found this. You've been lying to me. And she's like, I'm sorry. To be fair, purses can be a real vortex. It's kind of a tiny purse. It's a pretty obvious, I put my watch in my purse situation.
Starting point is 01:01:24 And she sort of comes clean and is like, I, she doesn't come clean, but she has a hard time with him where she tells him, dating is very hard for me. This is my first date in a really long time. I was in an abusive relationship. It's really hard for me to trust people. And she sort of just reveals her history.
Starting point is 01:01:44 And he's like, you know, you got out, that's really strong. And she's like, no, I was really weak. I stayed long after I should have left. I stayed and let my son see things he never should have seen. It still really haunts me to this day. I flash back to that night all the time. She asked him, why did you agree
Starting point is 01:02:05 to go on a date with me? Like I'm a widow, it's a lot of baggage, why would you wanna take that on? And he was like, you just seemed like really real to me. And they're like really sort of connecting and she tells him her story and he's like, I know it's nothing the same, but I recently have been in a situation where someone I thought
Starting point is 01:02:26 I could really trust was not who I thought they were. And it's been a real struggle figuring out what to do with that and how to move forward. And it feels like I got a lot of my hope taken away. But I'm trying to figure out how to do the right thing. I'm just trying to move forward. And I think we both deserve the opportunity to do that and you just seem really wonderful and like I I hope that we can I Don't know have a future, you know, let ourselves have a future even though we've been hurt in the past basically is the message she's like you're a really good person and
Starting point is 01:03:03 She's like clearly really connecting with him and is also really sad about what she knows she has to do. Right. And she says, Oh my God, this is how long it's been since I did shots. I didn't even get any limes. And he's like, it's all right. I'll go get the limes. You wait here. I got this.'s like, thank you so much. He gets up to get the limes. She opens that vial, pours it into one of the shot glasses. And gets a text from the guy that says, good girl, ew. Ew, ew, ew, ew. But also like, what the fuck do you do?
Starting point is 01:03:39 What the fuck do you do? Like it's your son or this random guy, you know? Right. Did you guys wait? I saw Instagram real recently. You know the train dilemma? Yes. Where the train is gonna kill, I don't know, five people or you can read it. The trolley problem.
Starting point is 01:03:54 Trolley problem. There was a parent that had set up a little train track for their kid to have their kid do the trolley problem. And so the train is headed to this five people with one person on the other track. And you see, can move the one person onto the track with the five people and move the train like plowing through all of them. Just like killing everybody. Oh, it was really unexpected. And it really made me laugh,
Starting point is 01:04:27 but also hope that kid's okay. So hope that kid's okay. Oh boy. But so he goes up to the bar and he asks the bartender for limes and the bartender says, oh, she changed her mind. Oh God. And so now he's like, what?
Starting point is 01:04:44 Really wondering what the fuck is up with this lady. Yeah. But he comes back over and gives her a lime and is like, okay, I guess we're gonna do these shots. So they each pick up a shot. They're bringing it to their mouth. She's watching it. We're zooming in on his mouth about to take that shot.
Starting point is 01:05:02 She knocks over, he had a glass of red wine on the table and she knocks it over, it spills it all over him, stopping him from taking the shot. They put them down, he gets up, she's like, oh my God, I'm so sorry, I'm like officially the worst date ever. I'm so, so sorry. And he's like, it's fine. You know, I'll just go clean myself up. And he gets up and goes to the bathroom.
Starting point is 01:05:23 The bartender comes over and is like, hey, are you okay? Like, this time she's direct. She's like, we've all noticed something's going on. If you don't feel safe with your date, tell us. And she's like, no, no, I promise I'm fine. And she's like, you really don't seem fine. And she says, no, I promise my date, my date is fine, everything's fine.
Starting point is 01:05:48 But she clocks that guy from earlier that she confronted still alone sitting at a table now near her. Oh, I forgot to mention again, sorry, when they tried to move tables and then move back to the table, the hostess came over and was like, is everything okay with your table? And she says, yes, it's all fine. And the host says, okay, good, because this was the table that was specifically requested for your reservation. And Henry's like, I didn't request a specific table.
Starting point is 01:06:14 She's like, it's definitely requested for your reservation. He was like, we must've gotten as confused as somebody else. And they're like, oh, that's weird, okay. So she sees that guy sitting at a table very near her and asks the bart're like, oh, that's weird. Okay. So she sees that guy sitting at a table very near her and asks the bartender, like, what's this guy's deal? Is he like a regular? What's up with him?
Starting point is 01:06:32 And she's ready to confront him. And then his sister comes in. They say hi, they sit down. The bartender's like, oh yeah, his sister's a regular. She's here all the time. But she's usually at that table right over there. But somebody else requested it specifically tonight. And honestly, I'm not surprised that guy's date left him
Starting point is 01:06:50 because he's been staring at you all night. And it's blind date guy. Violet has this realization wash over. She picks up both of the shot glasses. She walks over to the table. she puts one in front of him and she says, guess you're not having a great night, here I brought you the shot so we could both, we're having tough first dates tonight,
Starting point is 01:07:14 we could sort of rally each other for that. And he's like, oh, thank you so much, Violet, but I don't think I can have any more drinks for tonight. And she says, I don't think I told you my name. Yeah. And so he sort of goes like, all right, fine. The jigs fucking up. She sits down, he takes a little ear piece out of his ear.
Starting point is 01:07:36 What? Oh, he tells her he's like, she puts both the shot glasses down on the table and he's like, take one. And she doesn't fucking flinch, she picks one up and she downs it. And he's like, take one. And she doesn't fucking flinch. She picks one up and she downs it. And he's like, great. So now he knows the other one is the spiked glass.
Starting point is 01:07:51 And she's like, why did you bring me into this? And he was like, Oh, it's perfect. We have leverage over you. Also, you have a history of violence. You killed your ex husband. So when you kill your date tonight, the story will be, it's about your trauma and the fact that he is an FBI informant against the mayor currently building a trial,
Starting point is 01:08:14 it'll be completely untethered from that. They'll think that you're just a crazy lady who killed him on a date. They'll have to drop everything. You know, if he gets suspiciously murdered by who knows who, they're going to think it's tied to that case, but not if it's a crazy lady. Not if it's a crazy lady. He basically reveals to her that he's been like informing to the FBI about crimes the
Starting point is 01:08:34 mayor has been doing and they want to kill him for that. So they used her. Were there any, in the beginning of the movie, was there any talk of the mayor? Like was there like news stories about the mayor in the background or like people chatting about the mayor? She looked at the pictures on his camera. He's the mayor's personal photographer. Anyway.
Starting point is 01:08:53 And it's Chicago, you know, these kind of things are happening there all the time. The Bulls, Michael Jordan is in the background. Yeah, it's Michael Jordan's town. John Mulaney is doing stand-up about Michael Jordan. She tells him, she's like, I didn't kill my husband. And we see the memory continues and he shoots himself. And that's clearly a point of trauma for her, honestly, that she like wasn't.
Starting point is 01:09:19 And she revealed that to Henry earlier when they were talking about their traumas where she was like, I never fucking did anything. I never acted. I just let it happen. I let my son witness it. She's actually quite upset with herself that she didn't ever do anything about it.
Starting point is 01:09:35 And we see that, yes, he did in fact kill himself. Just then, oh, he says to her, he's like, I'll give it to you. You've been trying real hard here. God admire your spirit, but like, I've been two steps ahead of you all night. I'm playing chess, you're playing fucking Yahtzee, like, I have you.
Starting point is 01:09:54 Enjoy your fucking last meal. Like, your son might live if you do what I want, but like, you're not getting out of this because you're gonna go down for this murder. Just then Henry comes over to the table and he's like, he comes back to the bathroom. He's like, hey, what's going on? And his name is Richard.
Starting point is 01:10:10 He's like, oh, me and Violet go way back. We met at the bar earlier. And Violet's like, yeah, we were just talking about, commiserating about first dates. And sorry, I took my shot without you. Here's yours, you should take it. And he picks it up and goes like, no, I'm okay, actually, I don't think I need to do it.
Starting point is 01:10:34 And she's like, come on. Come on, dude. Come on, take it. Don't be a party pooper. And I think Richard's like, yeah, don't let her drink alone. And she looks at Henry and she says, take the shot, I promise I'll explain everything after.
Starting point is 01:10:53 And so he was sort of like, okay, he takes the shot. Richard looks, watches him do it, big smile on his face. And Henry goes back to the table. She's like, I'll be there in a minute. Oh, earlier as they were sitting, when she first sat down with him, Richard, he got a panna cotta delivered and he was so excited about it.
Starting point is 01:11:15 He was like, ooh, my panna cotta. I can't wait to eat my delicious panna cotta. Nothing bad happens when you're eating a panna cotta. You know. And so, you know, Henry walks away and he's like, my night is made, starts digging into that panna cotta. And Violet says to him, my husband, my ex-husband always got panna cotta
Starting point is 01:11:35 at this Italian restaurant we would go to every night, for every one of our apology dinners. And we both got really good at pretending. He got really good at pretending. He was never gonna do it again. I got really good at pretending. He got really good at pretending. He was never gonna do it again. I got really good at pretending. I believed him and I would just sit there pretending, watching him eat his fucking panna cotta.
Starting point is 01:11:53 And I suppose I've gotten pretty good at pretending, just like I pretended to spike that shot. And we realized she never put the poison in either of the vials. Oh, he had also told her that what was in the vial was sertraline with a little bit of fentanyl, because he was like, you prescribe a lot of sertraline, right? So like people, that's also how he's going to frame her for this murder. But we see that when he was watching Henry take the shot, she poured that little vial into his panna cotta. we see that when he was watching Henry take the shot,
Starting point is 01:12:25 she poured that little vial into his panna cotta. Nice. He realizes that. He says, you fucking bitch, pulls out a gun, goes to shoot her, everyone in the restaurant starts freaking out, goes to shoot her, Henry dives in front of her, Henry gets shot in the side. Oh my God, wow. Henry, okay, I'm really. Henry gets shot in the side. Oh my God.
Starting point is 01:12:45 Wow. Henry. That's a really good 180 on this date. Yeah. I would not have done that if I were Henry for the record. For the record, I wouldn't have done that either. But this dude's still fucking going. People are jumping, running out of the way, scrambling.
Starting point is 01:13:00 He's shoving tables. Violet is trying to get away from him. He shoots again, misses her, gets a shot through the window. The bartender tries to come and stop him. He fucking starts beating her up. Violet gets over to her purse where she sees the Chicago Bulls hockey puck. This guy gets up over her, he gets to her, he has a gun,
Starting point is 01:13:26 he's standing, so she's on the ground with the hockey puck, he's in front of this window holding the gun to her. She takes that hockey puck, she throws it, misses him, hits the window, right where that fucking bullet hole is. And he goes, haha, you missed. Oh, he pulls out his phone and he goes, ha ha, you missed. Oh, he pulls out his phone and he goes and guess, he calls the gunman at her house and he says,
Starting point is 01:13:50 kill the kid. But the window shatters the force of it, the wind, the Windy City, they're on the top floor, sucks him out of the window. That's so windy. And he plummets to his death. What? But it also sucks her out of the window. It's so windy. And he plummets to his death. What?
Starting point is 01:14:05 But it also sucks her out of the window. Oh my God. But she grabs on to a jacket. Wind usually does more of a blow than a suck, I thought. Well, it's the pressure. It's the pressure. It's the pressure. One after another.
Starting point is 01:14:21 If you ever see Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol, you know what happens when the window goes out on a tall, tall building. Anyway, she's sucked out, but she hangs from the window, the jacket's ripping on the edge of the window, she's gonna fall to her death, she's screaming, she's freaking out, a hand comes and grabs her, it's freaking Henry!
Starting point is 01:14:40 Oh, Henry. Wow. Grabs her, bullet wound and all, pulls her up safely. She comes over to him, puts pressure on his wound. You're gonna be okay. It's not a mortal wound. You're gonna be okay. He's like, you gotta get to your kit.
Starting point is 01:14:54 She's like, give me your car keys. He says, I'll call 911. You go. Wow, Henry's being so cool. Henry's being so fucking cool. He's having such a fucking moment right now. Yeah, this is huge for him. This is really huge.
Starting point is 01:15:07 Huge for the actor Brandon Sklinar, who's having a moment. She gets in the car. She is driving home. She is driving crazy, recklessly, so fast. Also, while looking at the security cameras in her house, trying to see where this fucking gunman is, we're in the house, we're seeing the gunman
Starting point is 01:15:27 is going for Toby, but Jen wakes up, she comes to, she tries to attack the gunman. He picks her up, throws her into a mirror, shatters the mirror. There's a lot of picking women up and throwing them around. Throws her into this mirror, it shatters. He starts getting away. She picks up a broken shard of glass,
Starting point is 01:15:46 stabs him in the leg. Nice. She and Toby, oh, the gunman unlocked, undid the rope and unlocked the rooms so we could go kill Toby, but she stabs him. She and Toby are like, run, run, run. They do unfortunately run back upstairs, which is not the direction you wanna be running.
Starting point is 01:16:04 They run back upstairs, they run into Toby's room. She barricades the door with a dresser, but he's pounding through that door. He's coming in. He does manage, you know, Violet is peeling down the roads of Chicago, trying to get there so fast, cutting back. Gunman gets into the bedroom. He shoots Jen.
Starting point is 01:16:22 We don't know where he shot her. He starts trying to find Toby. He's looking for Toby when he hears Violet makes it home, comes to the front door. He's like, okay, I guess I gotta go deal with that. He goes downstairs. We're hiding, she's creeping through. He's creeping around corners.
Starting point is 01:16:40 He's got the gun. She can hear him. She pulls a kitchen knife out, comes around a corner, stabs him in the chest with a kitchen knife. He drops his gun, but now they're fighting again, picks her up, throws her across the room. My God.
Starting point is 01:16:55 She is battered and bruised. He is coming for her. She starts pulling herself, army crawl style across the floor, just like we saw her do at the beginning of the movie. She is crawling away from him. He is coming towards her. He kicks her.
Starting point is 01:17:13 He stands over her. She turns up to face him. He's standing over her. He pulls that big ass kitchen knife out of his own shoulder. He wields it over her and just then, an electronic toy truck drives right up next to her with that man's gun in the back of the truck. And without hesitation, she picks it up,
Starting point is 01:17:40 shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoots him, kills him. Toby runs out, Toby! Toby! They hug, oh my God, she's crying. Jen comes down the stairs, she was only shot in the shoulder, she's fine, everybody's fine. Wow. It's Toby McGuire, everyone, it's Toby McGuire.
Starting point is 01:18:00 We cut ahead in the future, and it is Toby McGuire, and he is filming Spider-Man and everything is huge for him. No gambling problems, no issues. Fade to black, we come up, it's Henry in a hospital room watching the news, the mayor has been arrested for his scandals. She comes in, she's bringing, she's got milkshakes and hamburgers,
Starting point is 01:18:28 sits on the bed with him. He's like, you saved my life. She says, I think for our second date, we should do something really boring. He's like, yeah, absolutely. She's sitting there and she gets a notification of a drop. Not a data drop Not a data drop. A data drop.
Starting point is 01:18:48 She opens it and it says, you really need to have somebody help you pick your clothes. And it's Jen who's in the next hospital room over and she pops her head and she says, too soon. And Violet says, yeah bitch, it's too soon. Yeah bitch, it's way too soon. LOL. And she says, wait, you brought him hamburgers?
Starting point is 01:19:09 You didn't bring me hamburgers, I got shot too. Violet says, you wanna get shot twice? Get outta here, Jen, we're outta date. Jen gets outta here. Henry says, you got that, Jen, she's really great. She says, I brought two milkshakes, are you a chocolate girl or a strawberry girl? He says, oh, I'm a strawberry girl.
Starting point is 01:19:30 She gives him the strawberry milkshake. They cheers, they laugh, they sit, they're having a great time. The sun is rising over the beautiful city of Chicago, Dublin, and the end. Wow. Wow, perfect film. Film. Wow. Wow. Perfect film. Cinema.
Starting point is 01:19:48 Cinema. And the Cannes audience clapped for nine minutes straight. Standing ovation. The man can Cannes again. Cannes, Cannes, if it's Brandon Sklannar, ya see can. He can, can. Wow, I loved it. I loved it.
Starting point is 01:20:13 It is a silly, silly time. It's very funny because yeah, it's a movie that has been done 100 times before just without the drop element. That's really the only new thing in there, but it does make it fun. It does make it fun. I genuinely could not believe when after this man falls
Starting point is 01:20:31 from the top story of this high rise, there's still movie left. We're like, yeah, but then we need her to go home and save her son. And honestly, I was here for it. I saw a review of this movie that said, this movie understands that the one rule of cinema, which is that if it's going to be stupid,
Starting point is 01:20:48 it at least better be fun. And it's like, yeah, thank you. Thank you for that. Yep. Let's have some fucking fun. Mm-hmm. And we did, and we all did. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 01:20:59 I had fun. I loved to be in Chicago. I loved to, I was just in Dublin. High rise. Yeah, exactly, exactly. I loved to be in Chicago. I love to... I was just in Dublin. Be in a high rise. Yeah, exactly, exactly. I love to see teens. It did a good job of like, you really don't know who it is.
Starting point is 01:21:12 Right, right, yeah. They do that very effectively. And what their motivation is. Yeah, that's fun. You're like, I feel like it should be the guy she's gonna date with, but then I don't feel like it is, but then maybe it is, and then, but wait, is it actually the waiter?
Starting point is 01:21:26 But like, oh, maybe it's the bartender. I was like, is it the women that are bad? Like that can't be. Yes, I kind of suspected the bartender. That would have been pretty an icky messaging. I would have been really, really upset about that. But yeah, they do a really good job of being like, yeah, you are like, I literally don't know
Starting point is 01:21:41 how she manages to, oh, I forgot to mention another thing. Sorry, we just saw this movie today. She, when they get their dinner, which is the thing that I'm like, how did this man pull this off? When she gets her dinner before. Does it matter that I'm saying this? I guess I'm going to, because now I've started. She gives the $20 to the piano player.
Starting point is 01:22:03 He takes it to the bar. He sees it. He gets wide-eyed. He's like, oh my God. He gets his drink. He goes back to the piano. At the same time, they get their dinner brought to them. And she starts cutting her meat. And underneath her meat at the bottom of the plate
Starting point is 01:22:22 is her $20 bill with the note written on it. And she's like, and then the piano player dies. So. Oh boy. It's tough. So that's why you kind of suspect the- Yeah, you're like, yeah, somebody else who works here has to be in it.
Starting point is 01:22:35 But then later when he's revealing his mastermind, you know, plan everything that he did, he saw her obviously give the $20 to the piano player. So when the piano player got up and went to the bar, so did he saw her obviously give the $20 to the piano player. So when the piano player got up and went to the bar, so did he, and he stood next to him and saw him. Look at that note. He texted with a data drop, the piano player that said, if you call 911, that woman's son is gonna die.
Starting point is 01:22:59 And that's why he was looking at her. It was like, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. And that's how he also spiked his drink and killed him. Anyway, you know, it's just sort of your standard evil mastermind kind of situation. Yeah, a little whodunit, that's fun. I had a fun time. I had a fun time.
Starting point is 01:23:17 I had a fun time. Yeah. I'm still having a fun time. Fahey really had a lot, a lot to work with. She got to do action sequences. She got to do fight choreography. She got to do scared mom, you know. This is the type of horror movie that you feel like you, this is like a first time horror
Starting point is 01:23:37 movie writer gets like writing in one location. Yep. Cheap. This is, I can see why they made this movie. See why they made this movie. And I'm glad they made this movie. Yeah, yeah. I'm glad too. So yeah, I loved, I loved every second of it. And you know what? Here's the thing. It's like, if you have kids, they can be used as leverage against you. So don't have kids.
Starting point is 01:24:01 Correct. It's like a good reason not to do it. Just don't do it because then you're weak and vulnerable and you can be forced to do things you don't want to do otherwise. They could be haunted vessels for demons too, so keep that in mind. There's a lot that can go wrong there. Exactly. There are so many reasons not to have kids. They could be the kid who decides that the answer to the trolley problem is kill everyone.
Starting point is 01:24:21 There's a lot that could happen. Exactly. Exactly. There's a lot that could happen. There's a lot that could happen. Exactly, exactly. There's so much that could go wrong. And so little that could go right. There's almost no upside when you think about it. Truly not. They can fucking break your collarbone.
Starting point is 01:24:36 Oh my God. They could butt head you. Butt head you. So densely. Butt head your collarbone real hard. With their butt and their head. Real hard. Just butt heading you. Butt and your collarbone real hard. With her butt and her head. Real hard. Just buttheading you.
Starting point is 01:24:46 Yeah, I, this is a good, if we're ever in a global pandemic again and we still need content, this is a good idea for a movie because I feel like you could do a whole, this whole thing could have been done in the restaurant where they were. You didn't have to move a lot of locations.
Starting point is 01:25:03 No, yeah, we did not. I had that feeling also when she was doing like in the restaurant where they were, you know, like you didn't have to move a lot of locations. Yeah, we did not. I had that feeling also when she was doing her virtual therapy of like, it's just so, we're really minimizing these shooting locations and I appreciate that. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:25:17 Economical. Economical. Don't force me to see you too many places. I can't wait. I couldn't bear to see too many places. Ah, Penny, where are we? This is another place? This is different!
Starting point is 01:25:27 This is different than it was before. Oh my God, let me get this, let me fucking get this straight. Ha ha ha ha ha. Ay, ay, ay, we don't go places anymore, what the fuck? She's getting used to the other place. I just got settled in. No. Also, Brandon, Brandon Sklinar, really having a moment.
Starting point is 01:25:53 I would be curious to see him play the bad guy though. You know? I didn't see it ends with us. I never want to or will, but I believe he plays the good guy in that. And he plays a- In another like domestic violence situation, right? And believe he plays the good guy in that. And he plays a- In another like domestic violence situation, right?
Starting point is 01:26:07 Yeah, and he really plays a good guy in this. And I kind of want to, I would like to see what happens when it's like, no, just kidding, he's like the evil mastermind. Yeah. I don't know. That gave me chills. Well, he's having a moment. So- We were having a moment.
Starting point is 01:26:19 So he's probably gonna get a lot of roles. Because he's having a moment. I did see that somebody on the internet called him discount Glenn Powell, which is not nice, but I see it. Sure, sure, sure. Honestly, like I'll take it. I beat discount Glenn Powell every day of the week. Absolutely.
Starting point is 01:26:39 Like that's a compliment. It's a full compliment. His response was who doesn't love a deal? And that is, that's charisma. Especially in this economy. In this economy you're trying to play full price? Discount Glen Powell. Excuse me?
Starting point is 01:26:53 We're in a recession babe. I'll take what I came bringing, yeah. I'll take a brain insulin R if I can't have a Glen. It's economical. You're gonna like that babe for your buck. I'm looking paycheck to paycheck. I will take a discount Glen, any day of the week. My God.
Starting point is 01:27:08 Oh, Emily, thank you for seeing so many horror movies this weekend. Seeing just so many movies. I would shoot the movies two days in a row, to the movie theater, two days in a row. That's wild. Wild stuff. Thank God for that AMC. You know what? You want to know what's scary?
Starting point is 01:27:30 I know. I know. We went elsewhere for centers because I wanted to see an IMAX and all the AMC ones were freaking. They're booked. That's why I'm not going. That's why I'm not going tonight because it's all. They were all completely booked up and I could literally only see it on Saturday. And so I was like, I'm, because I got worried, because otherwise I can't see for two weeks. And I was like, it might not be in IMAX anymore. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:27:53 Well, I'm happy to hear that these are all filled theaters, and that hopefully means that centers will make a lot of money. I hope it does. And Ryan Coogler will be directing more and more. I mean, he will. He's a genius. He's a genius.
Starting point is 01:28:08 Full price. Full price. Oh, I am so tired and brain dead, and it's time for us to go. Yeah. We love you listeners. We do. That's all I got. And that's the truth. And that's the truth. We love you listeners. We do. That's that.
Starting point is 01:28:25 That's all I got. And that's the truth. And that's the truth. We love you so much. And if I recall correctly, there was a British accent in this movie. There was. It was the piano player. As a copy?
Starting point is 01:28:37 No, he was. Oh my God, you guys. I was, I guess I should have talked about that as my scary thing was like the accents everywhere I went. I was, I, it was, it was too much for me to handle. Yeah, it's a lot. Everything out of my mouth was 100 accents mixed into one. And then getting really nervous and being like, oh my God, are they hearing that I'm not actually British?
Starting point is 01:29:03 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So from all of us here to scare, oh my God, it's Australian. I know. See, it's always Australian. I know. I also, I work with a lot of Australians now
Starting point is 01:29:13 and it's, I want to do an accent 24 seven and it's hard. From all of us here to, I can't, I weirdly can't do British. I am British. Okay. What is, what is, not me, not Hermione, you from all of us here at Too Scary Didn't Watch. Nice.
