Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a HeadGum Podcast. 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 Henley and I'm too scared to watch scary movies. I'm Sami and I love watching scary movies. And so I watch them so that you don't have to. And we are without our dear Emily today. She will be back. We miss her, we love her. Emily!
Starting point is 00:00:46 How dare you have a full-time job. I know, I know. What is this working within working hours, my goodness? Salute bullshit is what it is. But Henley and I are here recording on St. Patrick's Day. I even have green socks on. Oh, you really are wearing a pretty green outfit. I'm wearing head to toe black.
Starting point is 00:01:10 I'm wearing head to toe green, baby. Green bean all day. I'm asking to get pinched. Just begging to get pinched. And we, of course, have a St. Patrick's Day themed movie, a very, very Irish, traditionally Irish film. I'm sure that this is like shown in school rooms across Ireland.
Starting point is 00:01:33 Yes, I believe it is. But before we get to it, Henley, did anything scary happen to you this week? Just this morning I learned a fact and I was like, I gotta, you know what, I gotta bring some more facts to the pod when it comes to scary things because man, I really just feel like I need to. A lot of scary facts out there.
Starting point is 00:01:54 There's so many scary facts. Okay, so I just found out that the human eye is only able to see 0.0035% of light waves. So we're literally only able to see, okay, see 0.0035% of light waves. So we're literally only able to see, okay, they said if the spectrum of light spread from California to New York, the amount that the human eye can see within that distance is the size of a peanut.
Starting point is 00:02:19 Whoa. Like we are literally not able to see so much. So much. JADEYESH This is reminding me of that scene in Sunshine where they have the shield and they stare at the sun and it's like, you can only handle... is so crazy because we as human beings assume we see everything. We assume that we see what's in front of us and that's all there is and that's reality. But it's like, no, we have eyeballs that are limited, just like how animals have all different types of eyesight. We also
Starting point is 00:02:58 have very specific types of eyesight. We can't see what's there. We can't see what's there. That's why I'm sure when you do acid, that's probably got to increase a little bit, don't you think? Two peanuts. Don't you think it's two peanuts worth? I think it might be. It's got to be. They should do studies on that if that's what, if like doing acid or doing drugs actually makes your eyesight like expand at all.
Starting point is 00:03:21 That would be fascinating. Anyway, I thought that was just a really humbling fact. And I think that we could use a little bit of humbling these days. And that's just, it blew my mind. That's pretty crazy. I don't know. I don't know how to feel about that. I found it like kind of comforting because there's just so much in this world we don't understand and that's okay. Yeah. It's okay. Imagine if someone was born with the ability
Starting point is 00:03:52 to see like 80%. I bet they're like super seers out there and they probably don't even know it. Maybe like certain types of visual artists, I'm sure that they can see 0.0036%. Right. or something. I'm fascinated. I want to learn more. I want to know all about my limits. Tell me about my limits. I want to know what that would look like if you're seeing in other dimensions or you're
Starting point is 00:04:18 seeing in heat. Or you're seeing radio waves. Yeah, radio waves and heat waves and... Fucking crazy. Bunk is meowing, if you guys hear him. I'm curious, yeah, where all animals fall on this spectrum because... Oh, my God, he's really meowing. I can hear him. Usually I can't even hear him.
Starting point is 00:04:38 I think he wants the door open because I close the door when we record. But I think I read at some point that cats can't see red. But yeah, some animals see them black and white and some animals see just one color. Really. And some see like, yeah, infrared, being able to like heat map. Yeah. Fucking nuts, man.
Starting point is 00:04:59 Whoa. I bet at like the science center, there's probably little goggles you can put on that are like, see like a deer and see like a dog, like a dog. Wait, okay. This reminds me also of the stupidest thing I've ever done in my whole life, which was in first grade, we had to do an invention. We had to make an invention. My invention was glasses that a blind person could put on where they could see the beach or the forest. And it's like, no, but they're blind, Henry. Oh, yeah, that wouldn't work.
Starting point is 00:05:29 It wouldn't work. But I remember trying to explain it to my teacher. Yeah, they would just put the glasses on and then they'd be able to see. And my teacher was like, so it would cure blindness? And I was like, oh. Oh, your heart was in the right place. I know.
Starting point is 00:05:46 That's very sweet. My invention in sixth grade was a shirt with a bunch of pockets. A cargo shirt. It's a cargo shirt. That's pretty cool, pretty useful. It was a really, really great invention. Taking the fashion world by storm. Sammy, what about you? How was your week?
Starting point is 00:06:09 My scary thing is also a fact, but it will be less mind-blowing for most people because it is very specific. Only if you are watching The White Lotus and if you have seen The Zone of Interest will this be interesting to you, which is that the guy that plays Fabian in White Lotus, the very timid hotel concierge guy that kind of wants to sing but he's a little embarrassed to ask, also plays Haas, the like head Nazi of the household in the Zone of Interest. And that just absolutely blew my mind.
Starting point is 00:06:55 I haven't seen Zone of Interest, but I saw this on Instagram, like a side by side of his character in White Lotus and his character in Zone of Interest, and, like, the haircut in Zone of Interest? Holy shit. And also, like, is that on purpose? Like, is Fabian gonna be, like, super evil? Are we gonna find out some, like, shit about him? I don't know. I feel like Mike White sometimes, like... You know, there's real thought that goes into casting for a reason.
Starting point is 00:07:21 It could be. Could be. Uh... I feel like that's happened before, where... I get into a show and someone is cast that's like always a villain and everything and I'm like, oh, they're not a villain in this. Like, nice for them if they get to do something different and then the twist is that they are the villain. I'm like, oh, motherfucker, I fell for it.
Starting point is 00:07:42 Like, call me again, call me again. and I'm like, oh, motherfucker, I fell for it. Call me again, call me again. So, yeah, maybe. He's just like a full Nazi on the White Lotus as well. Whoa. But yeah, his name's Christian Friedl. What range.
Starting point is 00:08:02 I'm very impressed and shaken, shaken in my boots. Yeah, me too. I'm really loving this season. Gosh, it in my boots. Yeah, me too. I'm really loving this season. Gosh, it's really fun. I am too. A lot of people are saying they don't like it as much, but I... It's interesting, without the Jennifer Coolidge, she was so goofy and, like, funny.
Starting point is 00:08:23 And so it is kind of a different vibe not having her in the show. Right. But I'm enjoying it. I really like it. I'm liking it a lot. And, uh, yeah. Christian Friedel, Friedel, Friedel. Uh... Friedel.
Starting point is 00:08:37 Can't wait to see him in more stuff. I'm glad that they cast him in this. And yeah, I'm just... Mind blown. Can I tell you, wait one prediction for White Lotus? Sure. I feel like Parker Posey knows everything. Yeah, probably. Just because it's her husband is-
Starting point is 00:08:52 Probably why she's drugging herself so much is just like- Yeah. She doesn't wanna- Face it. Have emotional reactions to all the secrets she knows. Yeah, and also her husband is clearly crashing out right in front of her eyes. Yeah, and also her husband is like clearly crashing out right in front of her eyes.
Starting point is 00:09:07 Yeah, and she's pretending like it's not happening to an extent where it's like, she knows too much in a way. You know? Yeah, yeah. That's one prediction, we'll see. I wouldn't be surprised, but okay, it's St. Patrick's Day, not for you listening, it'll be in the past, but it's
Starting point is 00:09:27 a week long celebration in my book. Definitely. And as we promised, we are doing a traditional Irish film, which is of course Leprechaun 2. The crowd goes wild. Came out in 1994, directed by Rodman Flender, written by Turi Meyer, Al Septien, based on characters by Mark Jones, starring Warwick Davis, Charlie Heath, Siobhan Durkin, and Sandy Barron.
Starting point is 00:10:04 It is streaming on Peacock. Henley. starring Warwick Davis, Charlie Heath, Siobhan Durkin, and Sandy Barron. It is streaming on Peacock. Henley. You seen this movie? No. Of course not. Oh, these movies are so funny. I put it on last night.
Starting point is 00:10:19 I was trying to figure out what movie to do this weekend, and I was like, oh, it's St. Patrick's Day, so... Might as well. Yeah, it chooses itself. It's less than 90 minutes, like hour and 23. So really real no brainer. But the first one is so bad. I was like, oh, this one's gonna be so bad. But and it is, it really is.
Starting point is 00:10:42 But they're so funny and silly. And I'm excited to, as the years go by, get into the even sillier territory of this. He goes to space. We know he goes to the hood. All right, the hood. So some real anticipation there for those ones. Can't imagine. I'm sure the messaging is not problematic whatsoever. I'm sure it's not going to be problematic in the hands of the Irish. Raymond Flender.
Starting point is 00:11:12 What's his name? I know it, Rodman Flender. It does sound fake. Like the director was like, I don't know, take my name off it. Just put any combination of words together. Rodman Flender, I guess. I don't know, take my name off it. Just put... Just put any combination of words to it. Rodman's Lender, I guess. I don't know. Yeah. These are weird movies. This leprechaun is very horny and in a very... Oh, yucky.
Starting point is 00:11:40 ...non-consensual way. Ew. Yucky. Non-consensual way. Ew. Yuck. So that's all pretty gross. And of course, it's like the history of little people in cinema. This is also quite offensive. Although Warwick Davis fucking kills it. He really gives it 110%. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:59 So, love Warwick Davis. This movie has a 6% on Rotten Tomatoes. Whoa, that is very low. Six percent is very low. Usually these movies at least have like a 56 percent or something. Right, right. Yeah. Nope, not this one.
Starting point is 00:12:16 This one's in the single digits. But a 4.6 on IMDb, which is not crazy low, but I guess I haven't seen. Like a one on IMDB? Yeah, it's harder to get into the ones on IMDB for some reason. We would have to look. Yeah, I wonder what the lowest rated movie on IMDB is.
Starting point is 00:12:39 The budget for this was 1.5 million and it made 2.3 million. So. Oh, blockbuster hit. Made some money. Success. Add it to the pot of gold. Pot of gold.
Starting point is 00:12:54 Some trivia for us. Oh, just that Jennifer Aniston, of course, we remember Jennifer Aniston is the protagonist in the first Leprechaun. Wow, I'd forgotten that. I had completely forgotten that that was the same movie. Yep, she was offered $25,000 to return, but refused because she was working on Friends.
Starting point is 00:13:16 Good. Which I think is the right call for Jennifer. I can't think of anything more of a step up. Do you think that there's anything, I think that actually this is kind of a fun game to play, but like the biggest leap going from Leprechaun to Friends is like a huge career leap. Yeah, that'd be fun to get like a list
Starting point is 00:13:39 of those types of things. Cause yeah, I'm sure when they asked her, she was like, no, absolutely not. Which is the right call. So good for Jennifer. This was the last film in the series to be given a theatrical release. Even though it made that huge margin of profit. The rest were released straight to video
Starting point is 00:14:10 until Leprechaun Origins in 2014, which I'm sure redeemed the franchise and was really good. We're still talking about it today. We're still talking about it today. I have a great time with these movies aside from all the pretty gross stuff. But it's just, you know, on St. Patrick's Day, you've got to honor the Irish heritage and... Completely.
Starting point is 00:14:35 And so that's what we're doing here today. Should we take a look at this trailer? Oh, sure. I better not spoil anything though, because this is the type of movie I need to, I'm gonna be on the edge of my seat. Yeah, true. But I'm willing to risk it. If I recall correctly, it was pretty insane. So, let's take a look, shall we? Oh gosh, the Irish accents are really coming out today.
Starting point is 00:14:57 Oh, the Irish accents. Ooh, it's only one minute. Great. Exactly one minute. Fantastic. Soon, my dear. It's almost time. True love can be hard to find. For some, it takes a lifetime. For him, it took a thousand years.
Starting point is 00:15:08 God bless you. And now that he's finally found her, he's going to love her. I'm back. To death. Friggen! I'm back. I'm back. I'm back.
Starting point is 00:15:16 I'm back. I'm back. I'm back. I'm back. I'm back. I'm back. I'm back. I'm back.
Starting point is 00:15:24 I'm back. I'm back. I'm back. to love her. I'm back! To death! Kiss me. Bye bye. Yuck. Okay. I know I keep saying that, but that's the only thing I feel. I love that his main character trait is he just goes, yeah. I was going to say that whole trailer is just like, which is like kind of how the whole
Starting point is 00:16:15 movie is. Yeah. It's just like, it reminds me of Sabrina, the teenage witch. There's something about it. Like the magical powers just being some kind of like horrible VFX green shooting out of your hands. Yeah, it's very 90s effects. Even the background that I have right now, sorry to those just listening, but for those watching the trailer reaction on Patreon, like this stage setting is like very, also feels like, um, Nick at night or what was it called that Sabrina was on? Uh, I don't know. Like the scary stories we tell in the dark. That one. It's like just
Starting point is 00:16:56 very clearly just set deck. Yep. Yeah. In a very fun way. Very nostalgic. Using like brown fabric, brown sheets to just wrap around Styrofoam. Yep. And that's the entire set. Yep. Is this, did you look up this actress? Was she ever in anything else? I don't think I really recognized her.
Starting point is 00:17:14 I don't recognize her from anything. Leprechaun One launched Jennifer Aniston's career. I would really hope Leprechaun did. I don't think it had the same effect. Her name is Siobhan Durkin. I mean, she's in stuff, but no, it looks like she took a pretty big break from acting. No, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:17:36 She's not on Jennifer Aniston's level. Too bad, too bad for Siobhan. Wow, okay, well, I can't wait to find out what happens in this movie. Siobhan Durkin's... Is that her name? Did I already forget her name? It sounds like another fake name. We got a lot of fake names on this production. Siobhan Durkin's most recent film was in 2014 and it's called Spermicide. And the synopsis is a former sperm donor and recently diagnosed sociopath takes his daughter
Starting point is 00:18:09 on a murder spree of his sperm donated offspring. Oh, what the fuck? That's dark. That's dark, okay. So she's been hitting up the horror movie circuit for a while. Yeah, I guess so. I guess so, but let's get into Leprechaun II, shall we?
Starting point is 00:18:28 Let's do it. I can't wait. Let's do it. I don't know about you, but I like keeping my money where I can see it. But unfortunately, traditional big wireless carriers also seem to like keeping my money too. So after years of overpaying for wireless,

It's no secret by now that we at Too Scary to Watch are very big fans of our skims. We love our skims robes. We love our skims pajamas. We love our skims bras. And I am here to tell you that, of course, you guessed it, we love our skims underwear. I have always been a thong every day girl.
Starting point is 00:20:06 Some people think that's crazy. It's easier for me under my clothes. I don't have to worry about things bunching. I don't have to worry about underwear lines, but look, it's not always the most comfortable if you can believe it. Skims makes such comfortable thongs in particular, the fits everybody dipped front thong, It molds to my body. I do not feel anything pinching, pulling. Nothing's getting worked up into any places. It's all just comfortable and exactly where it needs
Starting point is 00:20:36 to be. I don't need to worry about it. And for the days that I don't want to wear a thong, for example, if I'm wearing a dress, I want a little more coverage. I am obsessed with the Fits Everybody Boy Short. I used to always wear shorts, actual shorts under dresses, which is like too many layers, not comfortable. These boy shorts are the perfect amount of coverage. I'm all covered, I am all good, and it is so, so comfortable.
Starting point is 00:21:00 Skims has so many different options for different outfits, different body types, different silhouettes that you're looking for.

Select podcast in the survey and be sure to select our show in the drop down menu that follows. Okay. We begin in the countryside with large text overlaid telling us that we are in Ireland.
Starting point is 00:21:38 Okay. I believe you. I believe you. It looks like just woods in Canada type of thing. We see a man running through the woods terrified. He has handcuffs on or like shackles rather. It looks like this is a while in the past and he's running from something and then out of nowhere appears the leprechaun giggling in evil glee, taunting this man. We find out this man is his prisoner, his slave, and he's begging him, please let me go, let me go. And he's like, I will let you go because you know what today is. And it's St. Patrick's Day. The day you release your prisoner, is that how that works?
Starting point is 00:22:33 Well, this is his thousandth birthday. And in traditional Irish folklore, I'm joking, there's genuinely probably traditional Irish folklore. I'm joking. There's genuinely probably not one ounce of truth to any of the Leprechaun movies, but he says on your thousandth birthday, you get to marry and find your bride. And so he says, once I find my bride,
Starting point is 00:23:04 you'll be released because my bride will essentially be my prisoner enslaved now and I won't have any use for you. Yuck. And so this guy's looking like cautiously excited about this and he's like, okay, great. Like, where is she? You gotta find your bride.
Starting point is 00:23:22 And we see the silhouette outline of a young woman hanging up laundry. So she's, we can't see her face. She's covered by this sheet. And the leprechaun explains, he always speaks in rhymes, by the way, in his little Irish rhymes and goes, so as she sneezes once, she sneezes twice, she sneezes three times and we're married. Except in a way that rhymes, I didn't write that one either, she said. So that's all that's gotta happen
Starting point is 00:23:54 is she's just gotta sneeze three times, but the key thing is no one is allowed to say, God bless you, or that negates the marriage bond. Wow, wow. Okay. These are some new rules I've never heard before. Yep. Yep. We're getting deep into the Irish folklore here. Clearly. Clearly. This is why we say, God bless you. If we didn't, a leprechaun might try to marry you right on the spot. Yep. So this guy is like, all right, let's see her. We're just, all I have to do is sit here
Starting point is 00:24:28 and not say God bless you. Sounds pretty easy. And then as the woman undoes the sheet and takes down the laundry, it reveals her beautiful face, this young, gorgeous bride. But uh-oh, it's this guy's daughter. And he's like, oh, damn you, leprechaun.
Starting point is 00:24:49 Was it the prisoner's daughter? Oh man, that sucks. And the leprechaun blows some magical dust in her face, causing her to sneeze once. Dad looks at her like, oof, oof, he doesn't know what to do, how is he gonna get out of this one? Leprechaun blows more dust, she sneezes twice.
Starting point is 00:25:15 Dad is like, ah, I just don't know what to do. He's like, oh, he's like, me, she'll be the prisoner. It's okay, she can be the prisoner for a little bit. Maybe she can take my place and be prisoner. And then he blows more dust. She sneezes a third time and the dad can't do it. And he yells, God bless you, my child. And the leprechaun is furious.
Starting point is 00:25:41 Now he can't marry this gorgeous young girl. And the dad runs through the woods, the Irish woods and is eventually the leprechaun has magic. So he's able to, you know, shoot one of his little magical beams knocks the dad over and basically, you ruined this. Now I have to wait another thousand years to find my bride. But when I do, she will be of your bloodline and like, I will get my bride, whether you like it or not. And then he kills this dad by like a lightning strike coming down or something loud that alerts the daughters that something has happened and she runs to see what the noise was and finds her dad's dead body and in, well, she sees a man's body on the ground that's face down and she goes
Starting point is 00:26:38 to it and flips it over and the second she sees her dad's face, she screams instantaneously, just so loud in a very funny performance. It's just like, ah! Oh, it really made me laugh. And then the titles come up, Leprechaun 2. And these opening credits are very strange. It basically looks like a scroll with drawings and a map on it. And we see a map of Ireland and then what looks could be the Titanic, but probably not because I think the implication is that this ship made it from Ireland to the US. And we're seeing drawings of versions of this young, beautiful girl that I think are meant to imply, like, the different generations. Yeah, the lineage of her.
Starting point is 00:27:30 And then is it the same actress who's gonna play her again? Yes, of course. Really strong genes. Yes. Oh, a little suspiciously strong, I would say. And we go to, we get a card that tells us it is 1,000 years later. Oh, he has been patient. Really patient. Who created these rules for the leprechaun?
Starting point is 00:27:52 These are some pretty strict rules he has to live by. Yeah, I don't know. Oh, wow. Okay, so now we got a 2,000 year old leprechaun instead. Yeah, it's just the laws of leprechaun nature, you know? Leprechaun God. Yeah, it's just the laws of Leprechaun nature, you know? Leprechaun God made these rules. Okay. And now we are in Los Angeles in the 1990s.
Starting point is 00:28:16 We see a young guy named Cody on like Hollywood Boulevard type of thing. He's talking to tourists passing by trying to convince them to come on this haunted tour of Los Angeles. He's got a big shtick and he's playing it real big like, come see all the graves of the past celebrities, all the spookiest places in Los Angeles. And we see his girlfriend, Bridget, watching him smiling. And this is the same actress that we saw in the opening scene. So she is of the same bloodline, clearly.
Starting point is 00:28:58 And she's watching him fondly smiling like, Oh, my gosh, he's so he's so good at his job. Love to watch him work. Love to watch him work. Love to watch him work. So talented. He's incredibly talented. And after he gets a few passengers into, it's like a hearse that's leading the tour and he gets them seated inside, takes their money, gives them their tickets.
Starting point is 00:29:20 And he's like, okay, now I have to go get your driver, Morty. And he walks over to Bridget and he's like, okay, we gotta go get uncle Morty. So it's like him and his uncle that have this haunted tour business. They know that Morty is going to be at the bar. And we see Morty pretty drunk and they come in and say, perfect for the driver.
Starting point is 00:29:47 They come in and say, okay, time to, we've got a full car of guests, time to go do the tour. And Morty says, okay, fine. And then he orders one more shot before they go. And then this seems like a regular routine. The bartender knows to give Cody a bucket of ice water to dunk his head into to sober him up. But even after dunking his head, Morty is still running into walls. Oh, no. And it becomes clear. I thought he was going to still do it. I was like, this extremely drunk man is still going to lead this driving tour.
Starting point is 00:30:27 But Cody seems to think better of it and reluctantly takes over and says, okay, you stay here and sober up. I'm going to lead the tour. But this is bad news for Bridget because they had a date and they're supposed to go to the go-kart range or whatever with friends. They're already half an hour late, so she's pretty annoyed and she's like, we're going to be so late to the go-kart thing. And he's like, it won't take that long. We just have to do this tour and then we can drive straight there. We're just like, fine. She's in the passenger seat, he's in the driver's seat, and we've got all the guests
Starting point is 00:31:10 in the back as they go on this haunted tour of Los Angeles. Cody is doing his best spooky hosted. He's saying things like, our cruising altitude today will be six feet under. Very good. That's what you pay the big bucks for. Our cruising altitude today will be six feet under. Ha ha ha ha ha. Very good. That's what you pay the big bucks for. You can see that all of the passengers are pretty like, what the fuck? He also said that he made $300 and there's four passengers. They paid a lot for this tour for passengers, so they paid a lot for this tour in the 90s too. They're immediately looking like, oh no, we've been conned. They go past Bela Lugosi's final resting place
Starting point is 00:31:57 and then they drive up in the hills and see some ruins and they say, this is what's left of Harry Houdini's mansion. And a homeless guy like pops up out of nowhere and like scares them all. Like, so there is actually one scary moment in the tour. It's a jump scare. And they drive off and we stay behind with the homeless man and see him laughing like he's maybe done this before he knows the haunted tour comes over here and he likes to give him a good fright. And he wanders
Starting point is 00:32:32 over to this tree that looks different from all the rest of the trees here. And we zoom in on a placard on the side of the tree that says, to our friend, Harry Houdini, from Killarney, Ireland. So we're like, Killarney, that's where the leprechauns from. They said it earlier, I forgot to mention it. Uh-oh, okay. Okay. And the homeless guy lays down next to this tree
Starting point is 00:33:04 and knocks over and spills his bottle of whiskey. And as this bottle of whiskey drifts towards the tree, we see some magic start happening and now the whole whiskey bottle is being drawn into the tree like this tree wants this whiskey for some reason. What? Okay, so literally it was just the tree was just waiting for someone to drop some whiskey on it or is it like St. Patrick's Day today?
Starting point is 00:33:30 And so it is St. Patrick's Day today. Okay, so someone needed to pour whiskey by the tree on St. Patrick's Day. Yes. Okay. Yes. Got it. And so the whiskey goes into the tree, we see lights and smoke coming out of the tree and from the tree emerges the leprechaun with the bottle of whiskey in hand, giggling in glee.
Starting point is 00:33:51 Hehehehehe. Takes a big swig of the whiskey, spits it out. This is Canadian whiskey, he's absolutely revolted. What? Also, wait, can we back up for one second? Why did Ireland donate a tree to Harry Houdini? Okay, well, this is apparently true. That is apparently the one true fact in this movie that they did do that.
Starting point is 00:34:14 Is Harry Houdini Irish? I have no idea. Also where is this tree located in Los Angeles? Los Angeles doesn't harbor trees. There are no trees in Los Angeles. You know, I have no idea. And it said in the Wikipedia that this was a real thing that happened.
Starting point is 00:34:35 But now that I'm Googling it, I'm not sure that it is actually true. So don't worry about that. It's just so deeply random. So deeply random. No, he was Hungarian American, not Irish. Yeah. Yeah. So this is just a plot device for convenience. Okay. But the leprechaun emerges, throws this whiskey back in the homeless guy's face,
Starting point is 00:35:03 throws this whiskey back in the homeless guy's face and then spots this guy has a gold front tooth. He goes, oh, is that gold, I see. And he uses his magic to have roots from the trees burst out of the ground and wrap around him, holding, pinning him down so that the leprechaun can get on top of him and he says something like, yes, you might feel a little bit of pain because I forgot my Novacaine. Right, everything's a rhyme. That was a good one.
Starting point is 00:35:35 Yeah, that one is pretty close to what he says. And he yanks his gold tooth out and tosses it in his pot of gold, and then just leaves the guy there. Who seems like he's gonna be okay? It doesn't, like I feel like Leprechaun usually kills everybody he comes into contact with. So I was a little bit relieved. I was like, okay, yeah, the tooth thing sucks, but it seems like he's gonna survive.
Starting point is 00:36:02 Okay. We see, we go back to the haunted tour. Cody has decided to drop Bridget off at the racetrack and he says, you know, we're taking a bathroom break so everyone can get out for 10 minutes, stretch and bathroom break, and he's dropping Bridget off. We see at the go-kart track, the guy working there is about their age.
Starting point is 00:36:26 I don't know if the, I have no idea how old these, I don't think they're supposed to be in high school, maybe college, but it's hard to say. But this guy Ian that's working there is clearly also has a crush on Bridget and is flirting with her. And she's at this moment very annoyed with Cody because he still has to keep doing this tour and Ian sees this and he's like, oh yeah, like Cody sucks. Just you stay here,
Starting point is 00:36:53 I'll take care of you. Don't worry. Like I'll show you a good time. We'll get you set up with the go carts. Cody's annoyed. They're doing a bit of like dick measuring back and forth. But Cody has to do his job and so he eventually has to leave Bridget there with Ian, which he's not happy about. Then he's in a sour mood for the tour and he's not giving it 100% anymore. The passengers are getting sick of it and they say, this tour sucks, just take us back to Hollywood Boulevard or wherever we started.
Starting point is 00:37:28 He's like, fine, and he steps on the gas, zooms through a red light and cut to a police station where he has been arrested. Oh my God. For driving. Recklessly? Did anyone get injured? Recklessly. No, it seems like everyone's okay,
Starting point is 00:37:46 but Uncle Morty is having to come and bail him out and is saying like, oh, I'm so mad at him. I'm gonna teach him such a lesson when he gets home in a way that you can tell he's just putting on an act for the cops. But Morty does get Cody, he does bail him out and they head back home. Meanwhile, we see the leprechaun is in the city
Starting point is 00:38:18 somewhere looking for his bride. He knows it's his 2000th birthday, he's gotta find his bride. He knows it's his 2000th birthday. He's got to find his bride today. He takes out a magical stick, and it levitates in the air, and he says, point me to my new bride. And it spins and points in a direction. Great. He has all the tools he needs.
Starting point is 00:38:39 He has all the tools he needs. And then someone tosses a quarter at him. Rude. Rude. Rude. He's very put off by it. he needs and then someone tosses a quarter at him, rude. He's very put off by it. He's like, what the hell is that? It's not gold. And he's like, it's a quarter. He's like, I don't want that.
Starting point is 00:38:54 I want your gold. And the guy that's thrown the quarter is laughing and he's like, haha, you're great, man. Give me a call if you need representation. This is like an agent thinking that he can maybe acquire this guy as an actor. As he's handing him his card, the leprechaun sees a gold ring on his ring finger and just rips his whole finger off. Ugh. rips his whole finger off, gets the gold ring, tosses it in his pot of gold,
Starting point is 00:39:27 and says a pun like, finger lickin' good. Ew. So he just has a pot of gold that he carries around? It kind of disappears. It's magic. So it can come into the world. He can conjure it as needed. He can conjure it as needed, yeah. So convenient. To just have a pot of gold, you can conjure it as needed. He can conjure it as needed, yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:45 So convenient. To just have a pot of gold, you can conjure it whenever. I was picturing him carrying it around like a little purse, like a little briefcase. No, he doesn't have anything normally. He's just in his obviously very stylish, high-heeled buckle boots, his buckled hat. He's wearing green and plaid. he's got some stripy socks.
Starting point is 00:40:06 ALIHA You know what? It's the entire winter 2025 rag and bone collection actually is really what this whole the blazer. We see that Brigid is getting dropped off at home after the go-kart date with Ian. He's asking if he can come inside with her. She kind of laughs and is like, Ian, you know I'm dating Cody. And he's like, yeah, but... He's like, remember how you were annoyed with him earlier? That means we can hook up now.
Starting point is 00:40:40 Yeah, but you're in a fight. So, like, what's the deal? And she tells him to get lost. He looks very annoyed, and as he's walking back to his car, we hear Bridget's voice going, "'Ian, oh, Ian, I changed my mind.'" And we see her in the garage of the house, kind of glowing white, looking very ethereal, and acting pretty different from last time we saw her.
Starting point is 00:41:15 Ian is just like, hell yeah. I'm glad you came to your senses. I'm glad you came to your senses. This is the least you could do for me. This is a totally normal tone of voice and a totally normal way to look. And she's like, get in here. I want to show you something. And she starts unbuttoning her shirt and we see her bra, we see her boobies.
Starting point is 00:41:37 And he drops to his knees in front of her and he's looking at her boobs, like, oh my God, there's so much boobs in like 90s horror movies. There's just non-stop boobs everywhere. Well, then we see in the corner of the garage, the leprechaun obviously conjuring this illusion, giggling away, and we see what is actually in front of Ian is a flipped up lawn mower. So he is facing the bottom side of a lawn mower with that are like two fan shaped blades spinning. So it's going back and forth between boobs and blades as he's leaning his face closer and closer in.
Starting point is 00:42:26 And then we see in the shadow, his face smashed into the lawn mower blades and blood spraying everywhere. Pretty gnarly death. That is a terrible death. That's a really horrible death, I gotta say. Yeah. Brutal. Yeah, brutal. Then after Cody has been bailed out from jail, he shows up to Bridget's house with flowers.
Starting point is 00:42:53 She opens the door, she's happy to see it's him and not Ian. She at first is like, how many times do I have to say no? Then opens the door and phew, it's Cody. He hands her the flowers, they have a note on them that she picks up to read. It just says Cody. Oh, nice. Cody, well done. So is Ian's dead body just in the garage right now? Yeah. I'm assuming. Okay. That's going to be a fun surprise for later. Yeah. So we see the leprechaun kind of tiptoeing around watching this and he has found, obviously, Bridget, his bride looks exactly like his last bride.
Starting point is 00:43:31 He's like, hell yeah, we know the rules. All she's got to do is sneeze three times without anybody saying, God bless you. He blows his magical wind again and it, you know, goes through the flowers. Maybe pollen is getting in her nose. She sneezes once. Cody says, oh great, I got you flowers and you're allergic to them. She's like, it doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:43:52 I love them. I think it's very sweet of you. Leprechaun blows a little breeze again. She sneezes again. Cody says, gesundheit. That's not gonna cut it. Cody. He blows a gonna cut it. Cody. He blows the breeze a third time. She sneezes again.
Starting point is 00:44:09 And Cody says, God bless. And a phone cord flies off the wall and wraps around his throat. He's getting choked before he can utter the words, God bless you. The leprechaun jumps out, says, I didn't act fast enough 1000 years ago. I'm not letting that happen again.
Starting point is 00:44:29 This is my bride. And he makes the like rack of pots and pans from the ceiling fall on top of Cody, knocks him unconscious. Bridget is screaming, screaming, screaming, screaming. And he's chasing her around the house saying, you're my bride, you're gonna be my wife. Like come with me and we will be together forever.
Starting point is 00:44:50 She is screaming, trying to get away from him obviously. His pot of gold appears, he says, I must find you a ring. It's not a wedding without a ring. And from his pot of gold, he finds says, I must find you a ring. It's not a wedding without a ring. And from his pot of gold, he finds a necklace, not a ring. But I guess he thinks it'll do and he flings it at her and it snaps onto her neck. It's like a choker type thing, collar. And she's trying to pry it off, but she can't. And she is flailing, trying to get away from him. She knocks over his pot of gold.
Starting point is 00:45:30 He's scrambling. He needs to have, we remember from the first movie, he has to have every single piece of his gold or... Oh. Not that he doesn't have powers, but he's just obsessed with it. He's like a little golem. He's like, my gold, I need my gold. And we see one gold coin roll further off in the distance into Cody's hand and it lightly bumps Cody's hand,
Starting point is 00:45:53 but it's enough to wake him up from his unconsciousness. And Bridget runs in at that moment. He like, I think pockets the coin. It's out of sight. She pulls the rack of pots and pans off of him, says, are you okay? And he's like, yeah, yeah, I'm fine. The leprechaun runs in once again and Cody finds a fire poker. Okay, great. And throws it at the leprechaun like a javelin, but the leprechaun catches it midair,
Starting point is 00:46:29 but his hand is like burning red hot, glowing red, so we see that this fire poker does have some sort of effect on him. Like it seems like it's burning him. But he just drops it and then grabs Bridget and they disappear. He can like just teleport. But he can't hold iron?
Starting point is 00:46:53 Seems like it. Interesting. Yeah, oh and yeah, sorry, in some of this scene where they were like chasing each other, Bridget tried to run out the garage and saw Ian's dead body. The leprechaun seems to have hung it up in a way that she had to come like face to face with him. That's sad.
Starting point is 00:47:16 Pretty rude. So now we see Bridget and the leprechaun go to the leprechaun lair, which is the room that's just brown fabric around Styrofoam. Brown jersey sheets. Yeah. And like some branches. Just so. And he has a little bed rock
Starting point is 00:47:39 that has some cow hides on it. And he takes her to the bed and is like, all right, time to have sex. She's screaming and begging like, please, please let me go. And he calls her by the name of the girl from the opening scene, which I can't remember. And she's like, oh, thank God, like you've made a mistake. That's not my name. And he's like, no, but you're of the lineage. You have Oday blood running through your veins. I can smell it.
Starting point is 00:48:07 And she's screaming and screaming, please, please no, please don't do this. And he gives her some Irish whiskey, says, some Irish whiskey will put you in the mood. Ew. He knocks her over and the branches like wrap around her body, so she's immobilized and he's stroking her face and her body in a disgusting way.
Starting point is 00:48:33 No, I don't want any of this, no. He's like, well, you'll have to soon, you'll be having my children. And he says, I think the scariest line of the movie, he says, we'll have to make some alterations of course, so that you'll be able to bear a full litter as he's like stroking her belly. Ew. What the fuck?
Starting point is 00:48:55 And he says, we'll need to make changes to your face as well. You're very pretty, but the young ones won't suckle unless you look like a leprechaun. What? Where is he learning all of this stuff about leprechauns? What's he been doing for the past a thousand years? I don't know. I need to know a little bit more about this guy's backstory. I want to know what his deal is. Well, leprechaun origins in 2014. We're going to have to wait. Okay, we're going to have to do that. Yes. Okay. I'm sure all your questions
Starting point is 00:49:25 will be answered in that movie. I'm sure, I'm sure. He then in, I think an act that makes him horny pours his whole pot of gold over her. He's just like rubbing his coins and jewels over her body. And this is when he notices that a coin is missing and he starts freaking out. And he's like, oh my God, where's me coin, me coin, me gold coin.
Starting point is 00:49:52 Oh, you got to get your priorities straight, my dude. My goodness. And he's like, well, yeah, we're going to have to have sex later because I got to go get my coin back. But before I go, kiss me. I'm Irish." And this is a very disgusting kiss. He, like, licks the side of her face.
Starting point is 00:50:11 He has, like, a serpent-y tongue with two pronged tongues. And he, like, spits a little bit on her, like, saliva drips down her face. It's really gross. It's very gross. That's enough. That's truly enough. We get it. And she then switches into kind of a fawn mode down her face. It's really gross. It's very gross. That's enough. That's truly enough. We get it. And she then switches into kind of a fawn mode instead of fight or flight. She's like,
Starting point is 00:50:31 well, can you at least release these branches holding me so that I can get beautiful for you for your return? I'd like to be able to make myself more presentable and he does undo the branches but he's like yeah I know you're gonna try to escape and I'd like to see you try because a leprechaun's lair has many surprises like you'll never be able to get out of here and he throws a red dress at her and he's like yeah get dressed but I know you're not gonna be able to escape. She's like, God, fuck. -♪ PFFT. -♪ Oh, no. We see Cody has run to Morty's house
Starting point is 00:51:13 and he's trying to tell him Bridget was taken by leprechaun. Morty is obviously like, oh, boy, have you been drinking? Did you take something? What's going on? Leprechauns don't exist. And right as he says that, the leprechaun appears and says, what's that now? Morty's screaming, Cody's screaming, chaos ensues. They're running around the room. They're trying to get away from this leprechaun. There's iron bars on
Starting point is 00:51:44 the window that at one point they're on the other side of and the leprechaun grabs the bars and again we see his hands burning. Okay. He screams and like runs away and- Great. They're able to escape and I have no idea how they get this book but they find a book on leprechauns that tells them everything they need to know. Oh, thank God.
Starting point is 00:52:09 Oh my God, how convenient. A book just appears? I can't remember if they go to a library maybe or if they had this book. I have no idea. It happens really quick and I did not rewind. I just at one point was like, oh, they've got a book now. Okay, great. The book does confirm that their weakness is cast iron. rewind, I just at one point was like, oh, they've got a book now. Okay, great. The
Starting point is 00:52:25 book does confirm that their weakness is cast iron. Cast iron. Wow. That's his kryptonite, his Achilles heel. And the book basically spells out that, oh, it must be his thousandth or two thousandth birthday because that's when they get to have a wife and they've he's chosen Bridget as the wife. And so we need to use cast iron to capture him and to get Bridget back. All I can think of is a cast iron pan. Is that what they're going to go for first? It wouldn't be a bad option. A well-seasoned cast iron pan.
Starting point is 00:53:01 But they remember that the safe at the go-kart track is made out of cast iron. Oh, okay. Conveniently and it's pretty big. It's pretty leprechaun sized. So they think, well, we got to go there and try to catch them in there. But first the leprechaun appears again and they don't have time to go there, they just have to run away from him and they run into an Irish pub that is celebrating St. Patrick's Day where there are a lot of little people dressed as leprechauns, which leads to a lot of confusion of which leprechaun is the leprechaun. Cody is hiding in the bathroom at one point and we see just some leprechaun
Starting point is 00:53:49 shoes walking in from under the bathroom stall. He's like, oh god, oh god, oh god, this is a leprechaun. He comes out to confront this leprechaun and it's not. It's just one of the bar patrons played by the actor Tony Cox from Bad Santa. Oh, cool. And he offers him a chocolate coin, gold coin chocolate things like, you go have some chocolate coins, real milk chocolate. And Cody says, fief, goes out back to the bar to Morty says, I think we lost him. Morty says, nope, he's right there. At
Starting point is 00:54:27 the other side of the bar, the leprechaun is sitting there smiling at them. He walks over and he's like, okay, give me my coin back. But then Morty has a little light bulb moment and loudly says, what? So you can't hold your liquor? Is that what you're trying to say? I don't know, something like that. And something to get everybody in the bar's attention and puts the leprechaun under pressure to engage in a drinking contest with him. And he's like, I heard leprechauns can't hold their liquor. And leprechaun is like, of course we can. We're leprechauns. Of course you can. And so he's like, all right, let's have a drinking contest. And now the whole bar is gathered around cheering as they take shot after shot after shot.
Starting point is 00:55:13 Oh my gosh. So Morty's drinking problem is actually going to save everyone. Are you trying to say it's a good thing? Alcoholism is a good thing, you guys. Yes. And yeah, they're just like Morty's like a con artist too. So the leprechaun has just really met his match in Morty. They're getting drunker and drunker. Cody is saying, what are you doing Morty? And he says, Bridget's safe as long as the leprechauns here, obviously. And Cody's like, oh yeah, I guess that's true. So they're getting absolutely hammered. All of the other little people dressed as leprechauns in the bar gather around and they're going, one of us, one of us, which is a reference to the movie Freaks. I'll kind of, this doesn't feel great. I don't love this scene. But it's clear that the leprechaun by the end of this is hammered and can't do his magic properly.
Starting point is 00:56:05 He tries to, they basically are like about to run to escape to try to go find Brigid. And he tries to like fling an ashtray at them, but he's so drunk that it just kind of falls off the stool. And he's been bested. They're able to get away. Woohoo. We see Brigid in the Leprechaun lair trying to escape and it's just
Starting point is 00:56:28 like a labyrinth. Any door she runs out, she comes back into the main room, she runs up staircases, there's visions of her escaping, but then as she gets through other doors, she's just back in the leprechaun layer. So it's all just... Bad dream. Yeah. We see the leprechaun goes to a coffee shop to get some espresso to help sober him up. Oh, to help sober him up. Okay, got it. Sure. The barista is the actor from MAD TV that played Stuart.
Starting point is 00:57:00 I don't know. I hadn't seen him in a while. He goes, look what I can do and jumps. Oh yeah. It's an old reference, but I remember as a kid really laughing at Stewart. This guy is being kind of an asshole to him, making fun of him.
Starting point is 00:57:17 And I can't remember how it cumulates in the leprechaun. He's sobering up now. He's drinking the coffee, so his magic is coming back to him and he's getting fed up with this guy's bullshit. So he magically turns the steam wand to face this barista and wraps him in something to lock him in place with his face right in front of the steam wand and then just blasts hot steam in his face until he dies.
Starting point is 00:57:45 And we see his face basically melting off. A lot of face deaths in this one. Also a really bad way to go. That's a really bad way to go because that's gonna take a long time. I don't think that's quick. No. To have your whole face melt off.
Starting point is 00:57:58 I mean, you're gonna be alive for most of that. Yeah, yeah. I feel like it lasts like a minute. It's at least a minute long in the scene of like us seeing like blistering and then melting. Ew, ew. God. It's pretty gross. What a dick.
Starting point is 00:58:15 Also, meanwhile, the police have been called to Bridget's house. Presumably she's been reported missing and they find the flowers that just say Cody. So they're like, oh, well, her boyfriend and her sounds like they had a fight earlier tonight. So they're also in pursuit of trying to find Cody. He's the prime suspect. But Cody and Marty, Morty are on their way to the go-kart place to try to concoct a trap to lure the leprechaun into this cast iron safe. The leprechaun does arrive and Morty is distracting him for a
Starting point is 00:59:00 bit while the leprechaun is asking, where's the guy with my coin? My coin. And he's like, oh, he's over there. And we see in the, whatever, like manager's office where the safe is in, it also has a doggie door. We saw that there was a dog there earlier. So there's a doggie door and then a little window above the doggie door that the leprechaun sees Cody's face through where he's like, I'm in here. And he's holding up the coin and he's saying, come and get me if you want it. And the leprechaun jumps through that doggy door right into the cast iron safe and they're able to lock him in. It's a pretty good plan.
Starting point is 00:59:37 That plan worked so well. This leprechaun was really fooled by so many people over and over again. It's very easy to trick. Yeah. He really just jumped right into the safe. They lock him in there. Morty runs in. Great job.
Starting point is 00:59:52 This plan worked wonderfully. They're like, okay, great. Now time to go get Bridget. Morty says, wait, and locks Cody into the broom closet or whatever, which also has a window so Cody can see what's happening. And Cody's banging on the door, Morty, what are you doing? What are you doing? And Morty's like, trust me, I have a plan, I have a perfect plan. And he's leaning on the safe. We see some shots inside the safe as the leprechaun touches any of the sides, he's getting burned, so he's just trapped. And Morty says, everybody knows if you catch leprechaun, you get three
Starting point is 01:00:32 wishes. I want my three wishes. Oh, okay. I forgot about that detail. Cody is yelling, Morty, what are you doing? You're going to ruin everything. You're going to ruin everything. Morty's saying, Cody, I got this. I got a plan. I'm going to get everybody what they want. And the leprechaun kind of cheekily is like, you want your three wishes? Okay. What's your first wish? And Morty tells him, I want your gold. Okay, Morty, come on, can we wish for something else? Do we even want a pot of gold?
Starting point is 01:01:09 How much is that even going to get us? Well, how much is the pot of gold even worth? In the 90s, I don't know, but 2025, gold's going up. Mmm. Okay. Okay. So the leprechaun says, that's your first wish. You want my pot of gold?
Starting point is 01:01:25 He says, yup. Cody's yelling, Marty, what are you doing? What are you doing? Oh my God, you're going to ruin everything. Morty's like, I got this, I got this. And then we hear a little jingle of coins. Morty's saying, where's the gold? Where is it?
Starting point is 01:01:39 Where's the gold? And the leprechaun says, it's coming. And Morty makes a face like he's feeling something and his stomach starts extending, getting bigger and bigger. Gross. And he's screaming in pain. Clearly the pot of gold is manifesting inside of him. Yuck. He's screaming in pain, clearly the pot of gold is manifesting inside of him. Yuck. He's screaming in pain, the leprechaun's kind of giggling,
Starting point is 01:02:09 like, oh, what do you want your second wish to be? He's like, help me, I need your help. And he's like, you want me out of the safe? And he's like, yes, yes. And she's like, is that your second wish? He says, yes, my second wish is for you to get out of the safe. And the leprechaun's like, okay, well, you have to open it.
Starting point is 01:02:27 I can't touch it. So Morty is able to reach over and open the safe. This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard in my entire life. I know. I'm sorry. Cody looking very mad. The leprechaun gets out of the safe, is looking over Morty, and he's like, please, please get this out of me. He's like, is that your final wish?
Starting point is 01:02:48 Yes, please get the gold out of me. And the leprechaun of course, just uses his nasty long fingernails to claw open Morty's stomach and grabs his gold out and Morty dies disemboweled. Yeah, Morty you gotta say, without killing me, without causing me pain and suffering. We know that he's a trickster.
Starting point is 01:03:09 We gotta put some caveats on there. Yeah. Oh brother. So, Cody is able to escape out of the broom closet through like a loose panel in the ceiling, so he climbs out through some, I climbs out through some vents or whatever. The leprechaun doesn't see where he goes, so leprechaun runs out. Cody's able to run back in to have one last moment with Morty. He's obviously very upset. His uncle is dead. Then the security guard of the go-kart place
Starting point is 01:03:45 runs in a little late. What have you been doing, security guard? You've been just listening? I think they actually do run into him earlier and knock him out, so he was maybe unconscious for all of that. But then he comes to and runs back in and he grabs Cody, now looking like he's murdered
Starting point is 01:04:04 his uncle as well. He's like, oh my god, how many people are you gonna kill tonight? Like I saw you on the news. They're looking for you for maybe killing your girlfriend and now you've killed this guy. I'm taking you in and Cody's saying, no, it's all a big misunderstanding. And then we hear a woman's voice from the bushes saying, "'Officer, help me, help me, please. Cody has hurt me too.'" Or something. And the security guard is like,
Starting point is 01:04:36 "'Jesus Christ, man, how many people have you hurt?' Cody's saying, "'No, no, it's a trick.'" And of course, the security guard goes over to where the voice is coming from and it's the leprechaun who is in a little go-kart that's perfectly decorated to be leprechaun-y with a pot of gold and green.
Starting point is 01:04:56 It has a four leaf clover crossed out, like no four leaf clovers, because remember four leaf clovers are also, hold power over them, I can't remember. Oh, okay. And he uses the go kart to run over the security guard, killing him, and then Cody has fallen over and he sees the coin in Cody's hand.
Starting point is 01:05:19 He's like, I'm coming for me coin, and full speed goes to drive over Cody. And Cody kind of becomes ghost-like, like the car just goes straight through him. By some sort of magic, it doesn't work. And then he re-forms in his normal body and is looking very surprised and it's kind of putting two and two together.
Starting point is 01:05:43 And his brain is like, okay, while I have the coin, you can't kill me. And Leprechaun is like, ah, so like, yeah, just give it back to me. Just give me the coin. He's like, well, no, I'm not giving you the coin. And Leprechaun gets angry and is like, well, I got to go back to my bride. And teleports back to his layer. Bridget is now wearing the wedding gown that the leprechaun has given her and she's done up all pretty and she's trying to seduce him now. And we saw, sorry, earlier she was going through all the little boxes of trinkets in the lair and she's found a kind of knife-like tool that she's tucked away to try to use on him to kill him. So she's sitting close to him, stroking him, saying like, where have you been? I missed you so
Starting point is 01:06:40 much. And he's like, I've had important business to deal to. And she's like, what could be more important than your wife on your wedding night? And- Wow, she's good at this. Gets him close enough that she pulls out the knife, stabs it at him and the blade just like bends and he is impervious to this.
Starting point is 01:07:02 It's, I believe it's gold. So that's, I don't know, maybe has something to do with it. And he's yelling at her like, you tried to trick me, I can't believe it. And then just then we see Cody running to the tree, the Harry Houdini tree. Cody has figured out that this is obviously the entrance to the tree, the Harry Houdini tree. Cody has figured out that this is obviously the entrance to the lair and runs inside and can't figure out which direction to go. He's in these leprechaun
Starting point is 01:07:34 lair hallways trying to figure out where to go. And then a bug falls on his head, like a green cockroach. It looks like a cockroach that they've put a green sticker on to make it seem bright green. That's probably what they did. That's probably what they did, something pretty similar to that. He's like, oh, yuck, and knocks it off his head. And then two more fall on his head. And he goes like, oh, yuck, yuck, and knocks those ones off. And then that's it. It really made me laugh. Just like three bugs fell on his head.
Starting point is 01:08:08 That's it, okay, okay, great. And then he runs further into the lair. And we had seen earlier, there's a skeleton on one of the walls, like in chains, that we presume is the man from the opening scene. He just kept his skeleton hanging around. As decor. As decor, yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:35 And at this moment, the skeleton comes to life through some sort of leprechaun magic, and Cody and the skeleton have to duke it out. He's punching the skeleton, trying to stab the skeleton. That doesn't work because it's a skeleton. And then eventually is able to kill the skeleton by knocking its head in with a rock and breaking the skull. And he finally finds the center of the lair where Bridget and the leprechaun are. And he's like, I'm here to rescue you, grabs Bridget and the leprechaun once again giggles and is like, you can try to leave with her, but a leprechaun's lair has many secrets, many tricks. So once again, we see them running through doors and
Starting point is 01:09:16 just re-entering into the door that they came through and they can't find their way out. They get separated at some point and then come back together and Bridget is saying, Cody, you're not going to believe it, but I found a way out, but we got to leave the coin here so that the leprechaun can't follow us. And Cody says, but Bridget, the coin is the only thing stopping the leprechaun from killing us. She's like, just trust me, give me the coin and we'll leave it here and then we can run off together and we'll be safe. And we're pretty suspicious of this. Cody's looking a little suspicious of it, but hands a coin to her and she's
Starting point is 01:09:57 like, ha, thank you so much. And then ha ha, reveals she's the leprechaun. Oh, sorry, also they kiss before, before that. Oh, what? Okay, oh no. And then the leprechaun with the coin in hand is like, I've got my coin back, I've got my coin back. And he says, you can't outsmart a genius. Oh, that's a good line.
Starting point is 01:10:24 Why is this guy literally reminding me so much of Donald Trump? The leprechaun is just giving Donald Trump so easy to trick, so focused on the wrong things. Yep. Yeah. It's a little Donald Trump coded. Also just to say, Cody kind of gave me Con Connor O'Malley vibes this whole movie in a very funny way.
Starting point is 01:10:47 I can't... I was not expecting you to say that. I know. It was throwing me off. It kept making things funnier unintentionally because I just kept imagining it as Connor O'Malley. Uh, the leprechaun shoots a little green beam at Cody, knocks him over, seemingly killing him. Bridget, real Bridget now is crying, Cody, no, you killed him.
Starting point is 01:11:18 And then we see Cody kind of secretly come back to life with the leprechauns back is turned. And Cody has a cast iron or wrought iron bar, some sort of weapon, not the fire poker, but something. And he holds it up. He's about to stab the leprechaun. The leprechaun turns around like, what? Looks in his hand at the coin and we see that it is a chocolate coin that he had from earlier. Yes, yes. And he says, real milk chocolate, genius. And then he stabs him with the iron bar.
Starting point is 01:12:02 Wow, the crowd goes wild again. The Leprechaun is like sparking and smoking. Bridget says he's going to blow and they run out of the layer. Somehow they know exactly how to get out now. Maybe the leprechaun's magic is fading and so it's easy. That's easy. Nicole Soule That's confusing. Nicole Soule And they're able to run out of the lair as the leprechaun explodes. Then the two of them are holding each other outside of Harry Houdini's ruins of Harry Houdini's house. And Bridget says, how'd you know it wasn't me that was asking for the coin?
Starting point is 01:12:42 And he says, he kisses differently than you do. Oh, wow. Okay. And she says, well, I hope you like my kiss better. And he says, I'm still thinking about it. What? She shoves him, oh, Cody, you're such a jerk. And they toss the gold coin up in the air and they're like, we don't need this anymore. Leprechaun's dead and they run off back home together and that's the end of the movie. What?
Starting point is 01:13:15 What? What is this movie? I love it when like, I love it when all the trauma's immediately forgotten. I love it when it the trauma is immediately forgotten. I love it when it's like, that was just a lighthearted Thursday, our typical afternoon. Typical afternoon, happy St. Patrick's Day to us.
Starting point is 01:13:34 Happy St. Patrick's Day. Happy St. Patrick's Day. So are the later versions the same, is it all Warwick Davis? He's in all except for one, I believe. He might not be in Leprechaun Origins. Okay, okay, pretty good gig. Yeah, yeah, he's in all of them except for,
Starting point is 01:13:54 oh wait, there's a Leprechaun Returns in 2018. I didn't know about this one, and he's also not in this one. So he's in all of the kind of original ones. He goes to the hood, he goes to space. Of course, of course. Does he ever learn that the only way he can have love is if he stops prioritizing money over everything else? The leprechaun really has some lessons he needs to learn.
Starting point is 01:14:21 Just have to wait and see. And I, for one, am very excited. Is the plot of Leprechaun in space just the sun is dying and he's the last physicist who can solve? I hope so. I hope so, too. How much of the light spectrum do you think a Leprechaun can see? Oh, good question. Well, I think probably at least a little bit more
Starting point is 01:14:45 because they are so good at sussing out gold. You would think you would immediately know that it's a chocolate coin. Don't you feel like the leprechaun would be like, this isn't real gold? Yeah, you would think. But I guess not, I guess not. You would think.
Starting point is 01:14:58 Sammy, that was fun, thank you. I love you so much. I love you so much. Figured we could have a little fun this st. Patrick's Day Yeah, I'm really glad we did I'm really glad we did now. I need to go drink some green beer and What else eat corned beef corned beef and Potatoes potatoes
Starting point is 01:15:23 Yeah Watch leprechaun too. Just the way the Irish intended potatoes, yeah. Watch Leprechaun 2, just the way the Irish intended. The best way to honor the rich history of Ireland is by drinking green beer and watching Leprechaun 2. Or any any of the leprechaun movies. Let's be real. Yes. Oh, we love ya. I love ya.
