Starting point is 00:01:16 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 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 Sammie and I love watching scary movies and so I watch them so that you don't have to. And we have a patron chosen episode today that I'm very excited for you guys. This movie is one of the few movies in the past, I don't know, two years that's
Starting point is 00:01:44 genuinely really scared me. Oh, okay. Which is always very novel. And I'm like, this is how people feel. This is what it's like. This is what it's like. This is what it's like to feel fear. To be scared of scary movies.
Starting point is 00:01:58 Whoa, and Sammy, correct me if I'm wrong, but I feel like it's a really incredibly most special day of the year. Yeah. Currently. Can you remind us? We are recording this episode on my birthday. 3666th birthday. 36th is maybe.
Starting point is 00:02:18 My most devilish year to date. Devilish, not evil, but devilish. Not evil, but devilish. Emily made these gorgeous backgrounds. You can't see it. If you're listening, you can't evil, but devilish. Not evil, but devilish. Emily made these gorgeous backgrounds. You can't see it. If you're listening, you can't see, but. Well, I made them because I made hats for Sammy's birthday, but I put the hat on and it got lost within the background.
Starting point is 00:02:37 How do you do that? Is there like a website you go to that will make party hats, custom party hats? Yeah, maybe there's a website for everything. I feel like Etsy also always has good party things. There's a lot of custom websites you can use. That's amazing. Happy birthday, Sammy.
Starting point is 00:02:53 We love you. Happy birthday, Sammy. This will come out after her birthday, so don't get confused. Just know that right now, don't get it twisted. In this moment, we're not lying. It's Sammy's birthday. I couldn't think of any better way to spend it than.
Starting point is 00:03:08 Oh my God. Me too. Me too. My best friends talking about a movie that I like. Just the three of us too. It's been a while. Just the three of us. It's been a while.
Starting point is 00:03:17 It's intimate. Feel so safe with you guys. I'm so relaxed. So relaxed. I'm so at ease in this moment. Yeah, wow. Well, yeah, whole near, Sammy. What a blessed, blessed day for us all.
Starting point is 00:03:31 If you feel if by the time you're listening to this, you're like, wait, I did feel like a really positive energy about a week and a half ago on a Sunday. This is why you're shifting into Gemini season. That's what was going on. You're walking in. Wow, what an exciting time. Another exciting little bit of haunted housekeeping.
Starting point is 00:03:58 And I'm just gonna say, should I just say what it is? Say, the floor is yours. The floor is mine and I take it and I see it. And with the floor, I will say what I say. Say what you say, the floor is yours. The floor is mine and I take it and I see it. And with the floor, I will say we have confirmed a live in-person show in Los Angeles as part of our Khelle Chella extravaganza on Wednesday, July 9th, 7.30 p.m. at Dynasty Typewriter. Tickets are available at d30 PM at Dynasty Typewriter.
Starting point is 00:04:29 Tickets are available at dynastytypewriter.com. And we really hope you can be there in person because that'd be awesome. But also not everybody lives here. So it's streaming as well. So it's streaming as well. You can buy tickets to a live stream to watch at the same time as our show is happening, 7.30 PM Pacific time,
Starting point is 00:04:43 but it's also available for a week after that. So you can still watch it. If you cannot join us there in person, you can join us via the internet, which isn't that really what it's all about? Yes, it is. And we have a special guest, Lisa Gilroy. She's returning to talk about her favorite movie franchise
Starting point is 00:05:04 of all time, Final Destination, Bloodlines. Bloodlines is the movie. We're gonna be recapping Bloodlines, which is, I can't remember if it's number five or number six or number seven. I think it's number seven, actually. Hey, it's whatever one is the newest. We're gonna have that figured out by Showtime.
Starting point is 00:05:20 We got time. Yeah, Lisa was our guest for Final Destination two, so we're very excited to have her back. If you have listened to that episode, you can recall that she is very scared of scary movies. So she will not be watching this movie. We will be, Emily and I will be watching it and telling her all about it. And we're going to have a great freaking time.
Starting point is 00:05:41 Oh my God, we're going to have a great freaking time. It's so exciting. Dynasty is such a cool venue. I've never been, I'm really excited. So excited to do a show there. It's really gonna be a great time. I saw it's quite near WeSpa. It's quite near WeSpa.
Starting point is 00:05:58 We're all going to WeSpa afterwards. Meet us at WeSpa. We'll all be, you guys come to the show and then we'll all see each other naked. No, but if you listeners- I don't wanna do that. No, we're not gonna be doing that. But listeners, if you're in the area,
Starting point is 00:06:13 why don't have a little WeSpa day before the show and you won't know what anybody else in the audience looks like yet, so it won't be awkward. It won't be awkward. WeSpa's really great. You can get ready there too. Bring your stuff. You know? We did that last year.
Starting point is 00:06:27 We did that and it was really fun. But now that we've said it here, we cannot do that this year. We will not be doing that. We will not be at WeSpa, but you can and you should be, if that's something you're comfortable with. Regardless, you should also, you should be at the show.
Starting point is 00:06:43 And I'm very excited. We're gonna, it'll be, you know, we're gonna do our best to make the most of that live in-person format. We're gonna try to do some audience interaction. I don't know. I can't believe it. We've got big ambitions.
Starting point is 00:06:58 I saw that someone on Instagram recommended that I get the midsummer tattoo live on stage. Live on stage. Live on stage. Live on stage. I'm sure we can make that work. Would that be boring or fun? No, honestly, it would not.
Starting point is 00:07:13 I actually do know some, actually, I do know somebody who got a tattoo live on stage for their show years ago. How long does it take to get that tattoo? Should I do it on stage? It could be done in time. Probably around the duration of the show, yeah. You'd have to start right away. We'd talk while you're getting it,
Starting point is 00:07:29 do the recamp, like. We can make it work, Henley. But there's a world, you could get a much smaller tattoo. No, but if I'm getting a tattoo, it's obviously gonna be the tattoo that I'm supposed to share with both of you. I'm not getting another tattoo. Well, just so you know, Henley,
Starting point is 00:07:41 I've also started to think that. I'm never gonna get a tattoo. Sam and I already talked about getting another tattoo. Are you fucking kidding me? Oh my, I'm gonna have to get two tattoos on stage? Well, you have to get one of them. You have to get them on stage. But we were talking about maybe we get like just a tattoo
Starting point is 00:07:57 for every anniversary. What? I'm gonna have a sleeve of tattoos because you know we have to do this podcast till we die. They can be tiny. They can be tiny. I know, but if we do this podcast till we die. They can be tiny. They can be tiny. I know, but if we do the podcast till we die, even if they're tiny.
Starting point is 00:08:08 Well then yeah, by the time you die, you'll have a full sleeve of tiny tattoos. That's cute actually. A full sleeve of just tiny tattoos. It's really cute. So I'm gonna think about, maybe Henley gets a tattoo on stage, maybe she doesn't, who's to say,
Starting point is 00:08:23 but one thing's for sure. Only one way to find out. There's only one way to find out, and that is get your tickets. We are very, very excited about it. It's gonna be an absolute thrill. I can't freaking wait. For all involved. Also, I know I've said this a gazillion times,
Starting point is 00:08:39 but Lisa, if you don't, I'm sure most people listening already know who Lisa is, because she's a goddamn star, but if you don't, just look her up on Instagram and just prepare to laugh until you pee. Every single time I look at her. But any clips. Monitor your fluid intake that night because my God, she's funny.
Starting point is 00:08:52 She's the funniest fucking person I've ever met in my whole life. She's so funny and I'm so excited she gets to be our guest. I'm so happy. Ooh, it's gonna be so fun. Yeah, I can't wait. It's gonna be so fun. We're so excited. Very excited.
Starting point is 00:09:06 And we have another thing to celebrate, which is- We do. Oh, we're blessed. Oh, we're so blessed because according to my calculations, this week is our 300th episode. And we didn't forget. No, we didn't forget. We didn't forget.
Starting point is 00:09:22 We planned to keep it really casual because you know, what's more celebratory than just getting to do the thing we love to do as we always do? Exactly. Yeah, wow, 300 episodes, really crazy. Our gift to you for 300 episodes is another perfect three month long hell cella. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:09:45 We didn't forget that it was our 300th episode, but if we had, it would probably be because we're so excited thinking about and planning for Two Hell, Two Chella, making it bigger and better than ever, starting with a freaking show all together. Well, you know, all who can be here together. And yeah, we're doing this till we die. So plenty of anniversaries ahead of us to celebrate.
Starting point is 00:10:11 300 more and 300 more after that. And it just keeps going and going. Just keeps going. Wow. I love you guys. I love getting to this podcast. I love you guys so much. I love our listeners so much. And I'm very excited that we'll get to see some of you
Starting point is 00:10:25 in person. Oh, what a dream. What a life we live. We're so, we're so blessed. We're so lucky. We are lucky. And that's true. And gratitude is important.
Starting point is 00:10:38 And I do, and I feel grateful. Me too. I feel very grateful. I'm very grateful. I'm also very grateful. I'm very grateful. Mm. I'm also very grateful. Yeah. Yeah. Mm.
Starting point is 00:10:47 Mm. And I was just also going to say keep an eye on our Instagram for announcements of the movies that we're going to be covering if you're curious for Hell Chella, if you like to watch the movies beforehand. But if there's like a big horror movie coming out this summer that you're wondering if we're covering or not, we probably are, yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:08 Probably not Clown in a Cornfield though, just a few guys don't get. If you already had your heart set on Clown in a Cornfield, you are gonna be maybe a little disappointed, but. We might cover it at some point, you never know. You never know, there's infinity episodes left of this show, so maybe someday, but probably not in the immediate short term.
Starting point is 00:11:30 But other ones, you better believe it. I feel confident that we can at least let people know that the first episode of Hellchella will be 28 years later. So. I'm so excited. We're starting it off with a bang. That's the one I'm most excited for, so. Yeah, and. So. I'm so excited. That's happening. We're starting it off with a bang. That's the one I'm most excited for, so.
Starting point is 00:11:48 Yeah, and that's what they tell you to start with. Usually you wanna start with the thing that you're most excited for. That's the way to really build the excitement. All three months long. Exactly, start high and then just slowly, slowly, slowly, slowly go down in enthusiasm. No, we're just, it's what it means is there's so much left to discover. You know, we don't know what we don't know.
Starting point is 00:12:16 And that's the gift. That's the beautiful thing about life. I mean, life's- And that's the beautiful thing about life is to live in a space of curiosity. Yeah. And that's what we've said from the beginning. Curiosity and gratitude. Hellchella is just like life. We're living in a space of curiosity and discovery.
Starting point is 00:12:29 And it starts great and it gets worse and worse. Worse and worse. Unless it doesn't, and you never know. So, watch this space. Watch this space. Okay, I also must know, on this most important week, did anything scary happen to my friends? All right, speaking of birthdays,
Starting point is 00:12:50 I am in birthday party zone with Silas nonstop birthday parties. I guess everyone was having sex right around the same time because there are about a gazillion children who were born in late April, May or June. So just nonstop birthdays. And a lot of them have been great because I know a lot of the parents,
Starting point is 00:13:11 they're like parents from his preschool. So I'm familiar with them, you know, it's comfortable, whatever. But now and again, Silas, he's an extroverted boy. And he gets invited to a lot of birthday parties and I just went to one today where I didn't know anyone and you guys I need everyone to come together and brainstorm small talk like what do you say what small talk are we using what are we talking about because do you say, what small talk are we using? What are we talking about?
Starting point is 00:13:44 Because I was in the throes of a panic. I was standing amidst a group of parents I've never met before. Silas is thriving. He's like, he has his juice box. He's never met any of these kids and he's like spraying it on himself. Everyone's laughing, he's laughing.
Starting point is 00:14:00 Everyone loves that. I, however, am an adult woman who cannot spray juice box on my face and everyone thinks that's funny, that doesn't work. Have you tried it? No. Instead, I'm saying things like, so do you live nearby?
Starting point is 00:14:14 Duh, everyone fucking lives nearby. Like you're all at the same fucking birthday party, you loser. Or it's like, the weather is normal today. Like, what do you say about the weather? It's just normal weather. You didn't want to come in with, so Trump's in the weather is normal today. Like, what do you say about the weather? It's just normal weather. You didn't want to come in with, so Trump's in the Epstein files, huh? So that's a great point is that I don't know
Starting point is 00:14:33 who I'm talking to. I do not know. Oh yeah, Greenwich, Connecticut, you never know. I do not know. I know these people are driving 2025 Escalades and they probably are. You can ask me about that. Not a lot of cyber trucks though in Greenwich
Starting point is 00:14:44 if I recall correctly. Some, but not as many as in about that. Not a lot of cyber trucks though in Greenwich, if I recall correctly. Some, but not as many as in LA. There's a lot in LA. I actually just took a picture of May having a full-blown meltdown next to our broken down 2016 Subaru, which was parked right next to a cyber truck. And those are some good photos. Yeah, I don't know. Like, I think that I just need, I just wish that those situations didn't bother me as much.
Starting point is 00:15:10 I want to feel at ease and I don't know how to be okay with the fact that I don't feel at ease. I don't want to just be looking at my phone in the corner. I want to be friendly and open, but I also quite literally don't know what to talk to people about. I feel like most people talk about their kids, right? You're like, oh, which kid's yours? Oh my God, tell me about your kid. Yeah, I know, I feel like I just interview people
Starting point is 00:15:34 when I'm in a social situation and I'm uncomfortable, I am all questions. No, that's, see. Where are you from? Which one's yours? Oh, what are they into these days? Oh, that's so interesting. Have they gone, have they done this?
Starting point is 00:15:46 Or just like, I just am like, you talk, you talk, you talk, you talk, you talk. Yes, it's question, question, question, question, question. I just feel like I run out of questions like right away. You know? I'm like, okay, your kid's that boy over there. So. Cool.
Starting point is 00:16:04 So he's wearing shorts. Where'd you get those shorts? Yeah. Does he wear boxers or briefs? What type of underwear does your little boy wear? Exactly. Like immediately my brain is like, what's the worst possible thing you could ask? Anyway, so small talk, any small talk advice. Yeah, any tips appreciated. Tips appreciated. And it just made me like realize how I am as a person, which is like, I wanna be around people
Starting point is 00:16:32 that I already know so badly. Yeah, yeah, that's the ideal. That's the ideal. No people or people I know. That's- No people or people I know. That's it. That's all I want. That's all I want.
Starting point is 00:16:44 Yeah, anyway, so that was a scary That's it. That's all I want. That's all I want. Yeah. Anyway, so that was a scary thing. I have more birthday parties coming up. I'm going to Google small talk ideas. And then if I open my phone and other people see that I've Googled small talk ideas, I'll show them. You just have it up on your phone at the party, glancing at your phone every five seconds.
Starting point is 00:17:00 Hold on. Hold on a second. So boxes of briefs on your phone. So what's your favorite place to vacation? Asking chat GBT. Are you friendly with chat GBT? Um, anyway, so, um, that's it for me. That's hard. Chat GBT is a pretty funny question. It's a pretty good one. It's worth throwing in the mix. What about you guys? Tell me about your weeks. Well, big one was the birthday.
Starting point is 00:17:32 Big one was the birthday. But small one that I was thinking about, talking about, this is really small and boring, but I have been volunteering at a compost garden and I went this week and one of the things you have to do is it's called turning piles of compost. Basically, there's three big piles. You throw all the food scraps in the first pile, starts breaking down once it's in there for a long enough time at a certain temperature, you move it to the next pile, it starts cooling off and decomposing more until it's eventually
Starting point is 00:18:10 cooling off and decomposing more until it's eventually usable soil. And to turn the piles, you use a rake. So you're just like shoveling piles of food scraps and leaves and like that kind of stuff. And so it's just like raking and scooping for like 20 minutes. That's a workout. My arms are so sore. My arms have never been this sore. I don't know why I didn't think of that as a possibility, but like gardening in general is like really hard work. It's really hard work.
Starting point is 00:18:39 This is something I think about a lot where cooking, gardening, any kind of hobbies you think are just like gentle hobbies, they require you to be so physically fit. Like if you're cooking for long periods of time, you're doing a lot of baking, like you're using your arms. You're like working out. Knitting dough. It's really hard.
Starting point is 00:18:57 Same with gardening. It's like a full body workout. And you have to be... I mean, my grandmother was a huge gardener and she never bent her knees when she bent over. Oh, that's bad on the back. But also it was the funniest thing to watch her garden. She would just have straight legs, full flat back. Just like one of those bird things that like set up the drinking little thing.
Starting point is 00:19:17 Yeah, tipping over. Yeah, and we did some weeding as well. And so you're in like weird positions and pulling and sore and yeah, I'm not a gardener. I feel like I kill everything, but I am interested in reducing food waste. So that's kind of what I've gotten into it for, but I'm like starting to like gardening, which feels,
Starting point is 00:19:39 I mean, all I've really done is- It's very good for you. Yeah, you get some sunlight, you get some exercise. Putting your hands in dirt is supposed to do things to your brain? I think it does. I think it does. I think we're meant to be outside.
Starting point is 00:19:51 Yeah, who'd have thought? And also it's like a long-term, like you're always thinking about it, you're always planning it, it's always growing, it's always changing, it's kind of this like beautiful thing that's always there and you always have something to learn from. I would love to have a garden.
Starting point is 00:20:05 That is beautiful. It's nice, a group of kids came on a field trip and hung out in the garden for a while and they started helping us water plants and one of them really sprayed me with those and it was very funny. Ah! Ha ha ha ha!
Starting point is 00:20:20 Ha ha ha! Like by accident? Yeah, but then also a little devilish. Oh. Devilish. They're picking up on your devilish energy. Yeah, exactly. They were in the proximity of a 36, six, six year old.
Starting point is 00:20:35 So they knew something compelled them. Wow. But yeah, I wonder if my arms will ever recover. Honestly, you know that I've been trying to work, I want strong arms. Me too. But I keep saying that and doing nothing about it. But because I like don't know, like what I need,
Starting point is 00:20:54 I need something, I need to like do an activity that builds. Start digging a hole in your gut. I'll just start digging a hole. I'm just gonna start digging a hole. Everyone's like, have you heard about Emily's pit? It's just, her pit keeps getting bigger and bigger. She is jacked and there is a huge hole in the yard.
Starting point is 00:21:11 Be careful when you come over to Emily's, there's a giant pit. But if you fall in it, she can catch you because she is so strong. She can lift you out, easy peasy. So yeah, maybe I need to start doing some things. Maybe I need to start doing some things. So we'll see.
Starting point is 00:21:28 Best of luck to you and yours. Thank you. You guys, I haven't been working out, but I noticed the other day that I do have, look at my muscles. Yeah, because you're carrying children around. I literally, yesterday I looked in the mirror and I was like, I have a bicep.
Starting point is 00:21:40 Yeah. I have a bicep. Yeah, you really do. I'm proud of myself. Dang. I need a lifestyle change not Exercising but a lifestyle change that tricks me tricks me into getting exercise. Yeah, you should have a kid to get fit totally I'm gonna have a kid to get fit. I think that that's probably no It's just when you come to town Henley, I'll just carry your children around but I won't parent that like I won't you have to still I'll carry them in front of you. Mm-hmm, but just for the arm strength They'll love you do the pit. They'll love it. They would love that. Yeah. Yeah
Starting point is 00:22:09 Yeah, they'll like it a lot. So but it's not for them. So it doesn't matter. It's for me Speaking of nature a little scary but also really cute thing that happened this week is that Joel and I are watching TV the other night and we heard the craziest sound outside. It sounded like, I thought it was like birds fighting, but it was like dark outside. So it was like, what's going on? It was just like, like that kind of sound. Like a lot of it. It's fucking squirrels. It wasn't squirrels. Squirrels are crazy. It was baby skunks. Baby skunks. Baby skunks make this really chirpy little noise.
Starting point is 00:22:45 I think they're just like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You know, they're just like constantly chirping. So we went outside to look. It was so funny. Joel went outside to check and I kind of like followed him and he's walking outside and he's like, oh my God, Emily, you have to come out of here. And I like went out to see him.
Starting point is 00:23:01 He was like, go back inside, go back inside, go back inside. He like run back inside. And then, but cause we didn't want to get skunked, we wanted to look at the baby skunks. So we kept like walking out to see them, and they were like, go back inside, go back inside, go back inside, go back inside. We like run back inside. And then, but, cause we didn't want to get skunked, we wanted to look at the baby skunks. So we kept like walking after them, we were like, fuck, fuck, fuck, no, no, no, no, no. Like we did this like three times in a row, but they were so, it was a family.
Starting point is 00:23:14 It was like a mama and like three baby skunks, and they were so little and so cute. But also scary to have skunks like so nearby. And there was one summer where skunks lived under the house and it smelled so skunky all summer long. Yeah, my mom had that as well. So I don't want them to do that, but they were really cute. Really, really cute.
Starting point is 00:23:38 Skunks are cute. Skunks are so cute. High stakes though, being near a skunk. Well, and they're the ones that can get rabies, or is that raccoons? I think both. It's just possums that can't get it. It's just possums that can't.
Starting point is 00:23:51 And luckily, they're the cutest of all three. They're the cutest and they don't stink you. So... You think possums are cuter than raccoons? Yeah, raccoons are scary. They might not be cuter than skunks. Skunks are really fucking cute. But they're definitely cuter than raccoons.
Starting point is 00:24:05 Raccoons are fucking terrifying. I think raccoons are so freaky. No, possums are great. Possums are great. They're like a rat mixed with a lizard, which are two of my favorite things. That doesn't sound good to me at all. It's fucking awesome.
Starting point is 00:24:20 Wait, no, I'm looking up a possum to remember what it looks like. Just for a possum. People are too mean to possums. Well, you know what, when they don't have their mouths open, they're okay. Their mouths are pretty scary. But as soon as they open that mouth,
Starting point is 00:24:30 I'm back to not liking them. But that's like, kind of what's, they're like a little freak, they're like kind of like little like demons, but like cute. Oh my God, and they carry their little babies on top of them. And they're marsupials. Yeah, little marsupials.
Starting point is 00:24:42 They also have a pouch and again, they hang from their tails. They're fucking so cool. I really like possums.. And they're marsupials. Yeah, little marsupials. They also have a pouch and again, they hang from their tails. They're fucking so cool. I really like possums. I think they're great. Oh my God, they're so cute. I'm looking at photos of them as well. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:24:56 They're so cute. But I really don't like it when they open their mouths and I feel like they're opening their mouths quite often, especially when humans are around. They are, they kind of like hiss, which again is really cute. No, that's not for me. I'm a really big fan. I'm a really big fan.
Starting point is 00:25:09 No, my favorite memory of a raccoon is when I threw out a large chocolate bar last day of college and I went out back out into the dumpster and it was just standing on top of this like full size, like raccoon sized chocolate bar that had gone out of the garbage and was just holding it in the middle of the day, eating it and just looking at me like, yeah. It's my name. Yeah, I'm eating your chocolate. Yeah, I got it. Oh, are we talking favorite raccoon memories?
Starting point is 00:25:29 Cause I've got one. Okay, yeah, but also guys, possum and opossum, I've learned this before and I forgot. They're different. And the ones that we have are opossums, but you can still call them possums. Yes, possums are in Australia. I'm still going to say raccoons are significantly
Starting point is 00:25:42 cuter than possums. Raccoons are traditionally cuter and I can see that for me though in my heart Possums are cuter same and I just raccoons are Raccoons are freaky little things. They're like dirty and freaky and they have human hands and they freak me out I love I love those human hands. I love my favorite thing about them big They get so big in Los Angeles. They're trash pandas. I much prefer a rat lizard.
Starting point is 00:26:09 Yeah, I'll take my trash panda everyday. I get that they're cute, but they're up to no good. We'll have to do a poll, raccoons versus possums. They're devilish. They're very devilish. But you know what they are? They're not devilish. They're very devilish. But you know what they are? They're not devilish, they're like pranksters. They have prankster energy.
Starting point is 00:26:29 And that's I think what it is. It's like, I don't like that energy. I don't trust that energy. Yeah, they're like Ashton Kutcher and punked. Yes, yeah, because you know what it is? It's like, they also are like objectively hotter. So it's like, they're like a hot, raccoons are hot pranksters.
Starting point is 00:26:43 And that's my least favorite kind of person. Raccoons are hot pranksters. And that's my least favorite kind of person. Raccoons are hot pranksters. And who are possums? What are possums? Possums are like little goths. Like little scrawny goths, which is like, that's fun. They're like bookish. A bookish goth?
Starting point is 00:26:58 A scrawny bookish goth? Yeah, they're little bookish goths. Versus a hot prankster? Yeah. Interesting labeling here. I stand by it. We're gonna have to take this to social media and see what the fans have to say
Starting point is 00:27:10 because I'm not sure we're in agreement here. You know, that's fine, but it's also, it's just, it's not up for debate. It's my heart knows the truth. Right, no, well, you can't debate love. You can't. Yeah, it's... It's either there or it's not. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:27:26 There was a time where my cats were looking out the window at nighttime and looking so excited. I was like, oh, there must be something out there because they're losing their shit. And I went and looked out the window and there was a fountain in the courtyard of the place I lived at at the time. And there were literally like 12 plus raccoons
Starting point is 00:27:48 washing themselves and- Raccoons in great numbers, I'm not a fan of. Yeah, I was like- No, that's really scary. That is really scary. That's too many raccoons in one place. Yeah. Why were there so many?
Starting point is 00:28:01 I think they were, it was like bath time. They were all bathing in the fountain. And it was like bath time. They were all bathing in the fountain. It was like everyone called over and be like, bath time for all of us, best friend raccoons. Honestly, that sounds nice to me though. I wish I had 11 best friends who live nearby who would bathe in a fountain with me. Don't take bath time together.
Starting point is 00:28:16 It's kind of like when we go to Wee Spa. I was gonna say, we go to Wee Spa, we can do that. Which is really nice. Bath time. Oh, okay. Should we get into this week's movie? We definitely should. I mentioned that the patrons chose it.
Starting point is 00:28:29 The winner of the poll was Audity, came out in 2024. It was neck and neck with When Evil Lurks. They won by like 11 votes. Each of them got like 350-ish votes, but oddity eeked out the win. Wow. Okay. Written and directed by Damien McCarthy, starring Carolyn Bracken, Guillaume Lee,
Starting point is 00:28:54 Tyge Murphy, Caroline Menton, and Steve Wall. And I did look up how to pronounce Tyge because this is an Irish movie. So Tyge is spelled T-A-D-H-G. Wow. T-A-D-H-G. That is a lot of consonants in a row. The DHG combo is surprising.
Starting point is 00:29:16 Yeah. Tyg. Yeah, you never know with an Irish name. You never know what's gonna happen. A silent D. Interesting. Yeah. Yeah. And Audidy is streaming on Sh silent D. Interesting. Yeah. Yeah. And oddity is streaming on shutter.com. And yeah, like I mentioned, this movie really freaked me out the first time I saw it. This was a rewatch for me. Yeah, when did you see it
Starting point is 00:29:36 the first time? When it came out? Well, no, when it went to shutter because this movie did come out in theaters. And I remember seeing the trailer for it in theaters, but I did not see it in theaters, which I did not see it in theaters, which honestly, I think I would have been really scared. I was already so scared in my house. So I feel like, yeah, I don't even, I don't know if I'll be able to recreate how scary it is,
Starting point is 00:30:01 but I'll do my darnedest. Okay. Cause yeah, something about it really just hit all the, all the right notes for me to be absolutely, absolutely freaked out of my boots. Freaked out of her boots. I love that this is, I love that you're not saying Henley are gonna hate this one.
Starting point is 00:30:20 No. That is making me feel. And you would have hated when evil lurks. So you dodged a bullet here. Probably and probably forever. Oh yeah, we'll never do that one. Don't even worry about it. If it loses a poll, it loses a poll. We never do it again.
Starting point is 00:30:33 It's off the table. It's off the table. Unfortunately, that's not how it works for me. Nope. But I'll disassociate and put that in another place and pretend like it's true. That's not happening now. That's not happening now.
Starting point is 00:30:44 And now is all we have. Yes, exactly. Audity has a 96% on Rotten Tomatoes, a 78 on Metacritic, and a 6.7 on IMDB. Couldn't find the budget. It made 1.9 million in theaters. I don't think it had a super wide release. It was definitely playing in LA, but I imagine it was a short run and probably not at all theaters. But then, yeah,
Starting point is 00:31:14 Shudder picked it up. So it's available on Shudder. The director, Damian McCarthy, I think this is his second film. He also did a movie called Caveat, which has been requested a bunch as well. And they're similar to The Conjuring, like kind of in the same universe, which is always fun. Stephen King does that too, where there's like little references. So in this movie, there's a reference to Caveat, which I have not seen, but he's also directed a couple short films that have characters that are in this movie. So yeah, just makes me want to watch all of them. I feel like, I feel like it's, it's clever when people do that because something about it, and I don't know, maybe it's just me, but I just like feel like I want to complete the mythology and like get the full picture. Like it even reminds me a little bit of Taylor Jenkins read how there's one character and basically all of her books.
Starting point is 00:32:16 I'm always like very excited. Like where's McReeva going to show up? But that's all the trivia I could really find. I think there's a little more I'll sprinkle in throughout the recap, but yeah, I think let's just get right into it. Oh, that was pretty good. That's the kind of- That was really good. Whoa.
Starting point is 00:32:37 Right off the dome. Oh my God, that was so good. Yeah. And we will watch the trailer at the end. So that won't be an episode, but if you want to watch our trailer reaction, that'll be on our Patreon at patreon.com slash TSDW podcast with no further ado, let's talk about audity. Oh, that was bad.

Select podcast in the survey and be sure to select our show in the drop-down menu that follows. So we begin with some establishing shots of the Irish countryside and this almost castle like building. It's apparently a converted barn in County Cork and it's the same filming location as Caveat. But it's this kind of squarish building where there's a, you drive basically into the middle of,
Starting point is 00:36:35 how do I describe it? It's like a perimeter and the parking areas in the middle. There's like a courtyard in the middle. In the courtyard, yeah. So it looks like a really big building. It's pretty creepy. I think we're already, it's nighttime and we see a woman inside working on this trap door
Starting point is 00:36:56 in a, in one section of this converted barn. There's a lot of like, what do you call them? Interior balcony type things. It's got like a second story overhang looking thing that they can, uh, I don't know. She's like, for some reason building a little trap door in there. It's, there's no electricity. It's pretty dark in there. She's got lanterns and some flashlights and stuff hung around. It's like modern day. It's modern day, but it's like they've bought this old converted barn and are fixing it
Starting point is 00:37:33 up. It's clear they don't live there yet. There's not furniture. It's under construction to be their summer home. We see her go downstairs. She's by herself in this creepy place and she has a little tent set up in what's going to be the living room area. It's all stone though. Everything is stone and gray and dark and creepy. This tent is illuminated this yellow tent with a flashlight inside of it, just like looks really creepy. And the whole beginning part I think is pretty disorienting because you're like, what, where are we?
Starting point is 00:38:14 What is this lady doing? And as she comes downstairs past the tent, we see that she has a camera set up on a tripod that's just taking photos every minute or so. So we see like flashes going off. That's creepy. Then we cut to the exterior of what looks like a psychiatric hospital and there's a patient sitting on the fire escape that one of the orderlies comes out and yells at and is like, what do you think you're doing here? This orderly seems particularly like he is, I mean, you
Starting point is 00:38:51 can't totally tell right now, but he's a sadistic type that's like really cruel to the patients and like grabs this guy and aggressively like pulls him back inside. And then we see the head doctor of the psychiatric facility answering a phone call. And we see that on the other end of the call is the woman in the opening scene and this is her husband. So there she's saying, you know, progress is going great on remodeling stuff. I wish you were here though. It's always a little creepy staying here at night alone. We find out he works nights at the hospital, so he's always gone at nighttime, which is unfortunate.
Starting point is 00:39:36 His name is Ted and his wife's name is Dani. She says, maybe tomorrow we can invite my sister for dinner. You know, she hasn't been doing well and I worry about her and it would make me feel a lot better if we could see her. And there's some men, I can't remember how she mentions it, but we find out that her sister is her twin. So her sister's name is Darcy. Danny and Darcy, the twins. Danny and Darcy. Danny. Danny. Oh, Danny. Danny.
Starting point is 00:40:07 Darcy. Danny and Darcy. And so he says, yeah, sounds good. I'll see you later. Have a good night. So back at the converted barn, she goes out to the car for something into the courtyard. She leaves the door open as she walks out. It's again, really dark, so we can't really see the full perimeter. The place is big. There's a lot of shadowy corners. She kind
Starting point is 00:40:43 of hears a noise and turns and looks, but you can't really see anything, but it's clear that she's creeped out. Like this is a big place with no electricity in the middle of the night in the middle of the countryside. So freaky. You can tell that she gets creeped out and kind of rushes back in and closes the door. Then she has the keys in the keyhole to lock the door. And as she does, she kind of hears someone fiddling with the door handle on the other side. And she steps back and is freaked out. And there's one of those little like metal slidey things, like a big peephole essentially. And she pulls
Starting point is 00:41:25 it back, but she stepped away from the door. And these two eyes are there. It's a jump scare. This man with one glass eye that has kind of a milky white eyeball. So it's like freaky, two different eyes. And his face is just like shoved right up in the peephole and he's like, I need you to let me in. And she's, I think a little like too cool in this moment. She doesn't seem as freaked out as she should be, but she's, she's, she's getting there. I think she's trying to maybe seem not afraid too. Who are you? Why are you at my door?
Starting point is 00:42:07 And he says, I came over to help you. I saw you just went out to your car and when you did, someone went into your house. Oh my God, oh my fucking God. There's someone in there with you right now. Well, this is a really bad, really bad position to be in. It's so bad. Because there's definitely someone outside.
Starting point is 00:42:29 Yes. And she says, you know, my husband is going to be home soon, so it's not a problem. You can leave or whatever. And he says, Dr. Timis works nights. What the fuck? How does this guy know so much? And she has a little light bulb moment,
Starting point is 00:42:43 and she goes, you're a patient at his hospital. And he says, yes, that he's been released. And he was leaving the hospital and like saw this man go into her house. And she says, okay, I'm going to call the police. And he says, yes, yes, call the police. Great. Like, you need to call them. That would be great. And she says, I don't have my phone. That's what she was going out to her car looking for. She can't find her phone. How'd she call her husband?
Starting point is 00:43:17 She had it earlier and then it was like misplaced and she couldn't find it again. Oh, God, this is the story of my life. I lose my phone every five minutes. I know you really do. I lose it every five minutes. I never know where it is. I would be absolutely screwed if this ever happened to me because I for sure wouldn't have my phone on. Yeah. And she asks him if he has a phone.
Starting point is 00:43:35 No, he doesn't. He's just been released from a mental hospital. And she's like, well, if I let you in, what are you gonna do? And he's like, I don't know. you in, like, what are you going to do? And he's like, I don't know. Like I'll search the, like we can search the place together and make sure there's nobody in there. And we see her kind of glancing around the place, which again, is super dark, filled with shadowy corners. All the different rooms are just completely dark inside. And you can see how torn she is, like fuck, fuck, fuck. Doesn't know what to do.
Starting point is 00:44:11 She's reaching for the door handle for the keys and like looking at him and looking at the keys and he's nodding and he's like, yes, yes, yes, open it. No, no. And cut to black title, oddity. Oh, boy. What an opening. What a fucking, yeah, like that is so immediately scary
Starting point is 00:44:33 in a way that it's like, yeah, I don't know what the fuck you mean. I know. I mean, you don't let him in, but then what do you do? I mean, I guess we'll find out. I think you stand against a corner with a big knife. Yeah. And you don't sleep and you just wait.
Starting point is 00:44:49 Yeah. Yeah. A knife in one hand and a fucking bludgeoning instrument in the other hand and you stand against, in the corner of two walls. I feel like I'd also want him to stay there weirdly. I'm like, hey, you stay where I can see you. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:06 Outside, locked outside of the house. And I'm gonna- If you're so concerned about me, you stay right there. Yeah. And I'm gonna stand here with my knife and my- Or like you go get help. You go- Well, that's like how did he even get there?
Starting point is 00:45:18 That's my main question is like, is he just walking? How far is the mental hospital from this house? How did he get here? Like, that's my main question. I think he walked. Does she have her car keys? So it's in walking distance? Because maybe what you do
Starting point is 00:45:31 is you grab a bludgeoning instrument. You grab your car keys. You surprise open the door, ready to strike. You scream, you go, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, you do something really, really crazy and like surprise that guy and you run to your car and you get in your car and you drive away. Yeah, yeah, I think that's good. Okay, great, we have a plan.
Starting point is 00:45:51 Okay, great. So now we come back to the mental hospital and we see a patient in his room hearing a very scary noise, like heavy footsteps and almost like guttural growling noises. It sounds inhuman. It does not sound like a person. He hides under his bed.
Starting point is 00:46:18 We hear the door to his room open. Seems like something is coming in, but we are seeing like at foot level the door and we can't see anything actually come in. And then we hear like footsteps walking away. We hear some screaming and crazy noises. And then it gets silent. and this patient eventually comes out from under the bed and his door is wide open and he cautiously tiptoes out, seems like silent now and he follows where he thinks he heard the noises coming from and we see that there's blood everywhere on the walls around him. We can't see where it came from, and he's just wide-eyed, terrified,
Starting point is 00:47:12 but leans down and picks up a glass eye that matches the glass eye of this guy, and then we get a reveal shot of the guy at the door with like his head absolutely pulverized, just completely smashed head, like Oberyn in Game of Thrones style. It's the same guy we saw? Yes. So he's just, okay.
Starting point is 00:47:41 We don't know, yeah, we don't know what's happening yet. We don't know, we don't know what's going on, but we do know that he's not telling the whole story. Yeah. So then we cut to Darcy, Danny's twin sister, who we recognize because they're twins, but... Is it the same actress or is it an actual twin? Same actress, Darcy. We're really doing that these days.
Starting point is 00:48:03 We're really doing that these days. We're really doing that these days. And Darcy, so Dani has like long brown hair. Darcy has very short platinum blonde hair and she's holding a doorbell with like a napkin around it. Seems like really focused on this, not doorbell, excuse me, but like a bell boy, bell. A bell?
Starting point is 00:48:27 Yeah. Like a desk bell. Like a front desk. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And in walks Ted. Uh-oh. And she hears him come in.
Starting point is 00:48:38 We see the reveal that she's in a shop of oddities. I can't remember the name of the shop, but she has this witchy shop filled with creepy items. She says, don't touch anything. You don't know what's a lot of these items carry. Curses. So best if you don't touch anything and don't even think about stealing. And we realized that she is blind. So she can't, because Ted is standing right there and she doesn't know it's him. And then he says something and she recognizes his voice, gets up and hugs him, says, it's great to see you. And he asks her about the desk bell that she was studying. He said, what's that? Looks like you were really focused on it. And she says that it's a new item she received. There
Starting point is 00:49:34 was a bell boy at this hotel who one of the guests at the hotel pushed down the stairs and murdered and he like snapped his neck. And the story goes that when you ring this doorbell, he comes back. Like the past two people that have had this bell have died. Man, how do you get into this profession? Like, how do you end up here? Yeah, and like, take the little dongle out of the bell. Right. man how do you get into this profession like how do you end up here yeah and like take the little dongle out of the belt right Ted is obviously not really
Starting point is 00:50:12 taking this too seriously he's kind of smiling he's a doctor he believes in science and logic he does not believe in ghosts or the... You better start believing, doctor. And we see that he has brought her the glass eye. Oh, what? So maybe he does kind of believe in some of this stuff. What's he doing with that glass eye? Well, he does say, why did you want it? So she has requested the glass eye, it seems like, and he's kind of just fulfilling her wish here.
Starting point is 00:50:47 And he's like, what do you want with this glass eye? And she says, well, he took my sister's life. So I wanna know what was going on in his mind. Oh, wow. Okay, so this is a different story. We're getting a different story. Yes. So he killed the sister or did something else.
Starting point is 00:51:08 Right. That's the big question. Then got killed by something. Right. And then the doctor took the eye. Yes. To the twin sister who's still alive. Yes.
Starting point is 00:51:22 To the blind twin sister who owns a store of oddities. Exactly. Thank you, I think wonderful, wonderful summary. I imagine like having this idea for a script.

It'll be the year anniversary. And I was hoping I could come over and spend some time in the place that she was when she died to honor her. Ted is a little dismissive of this and is like, yeah, yeah, you know, we're still kind of getting things set up.
Starting point is 00:54:38 It's Yana and I are still getting settled in. And Darcy is a little like, who? You have a girlfriend or you've already met somebody? And he says- And you were living with her? In the place where she was murdered too. It's like, you wanna stay there? You wanna stay in this place?
Starting point is 00:55:00 Right. And Ted says, she was a coworker at the hospital. And after Danny died, she was really kind to me and we got really close and you know, he didn't intend but it happened. Life goes on. Yeah, we're not gonna fault him for that. He has to live. Yep. So Ted kind of roughly says, Yeah, but we'll like, definitely sometime you should come. Not the anniversary, but like some other time, probably just come on over.
Starting point is 00:55:30 Yeah, yeah, we'll have a little more settled. Date's probably not specific, it doesn't really matter, right, just come and do whatever. So he leaves the shop and we see Darcy listening to her last voicemail from Dani. We did see Dani call her in the opening scene, but we didn't really hear the message she left. So now we're hearing the message for the first time.
Starting point is 00:55:53 She references the camera. She says, I'm doing what you recommended with the time lapse, trying to get a time lapse of us setting everything up. So that's what the camera was set up to just capture the progress of working on the house, I guess. Feels like way too frequent of these. Right. So that much change every minute? Do we need that much of a progress report? Okay. And she's saying, we want to have you over for dinner and I hope you're doing well. There's been a couple of mentions of like Darcy maybe
Starting point is 00:56:31 not being in good health or maybe good mental health of like being worried about her. I think even Ted mentioned that in when he was in the shop. He's like, so how are you doing? Have you been to the doctor? And she says, I'm totally fine and you don't need to worry. fine and you don't need to worry. So now she's sitting in her shop by herself and she kind of unfolds this. She's wearing gloves also for the most part, which I love that like it's like haunting of Hill House. Yes, exactly. When people have like a gift and they have to wear gloves or they'll just know too much. They need a barrier. They're too close to the other side. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:57:10 So she sits down with the glass eye, kind of unfolds it from within a little scarf and takes her gloves off and then holds the glass eye in her bare hands. And we immediately see some flashes of images. So she's got some psychic ability to connect with objects that belong to people to see kind of into their past. So we see an image of the guy. I think his name was Olin. So we see an image of Olin and then we see someone in a black like raincoat with a creepy white mask, almost looks like melted wax mask. A hard mask. Hard mask. Yeah. And she's just kind of having this vision and then sets the glass eye back down, but she's clearly seen some shit. She rushes into the back room. It's like she gets this idea from this and she rushes into a back room of her store that we didn't see before.
Starting point is 00:58:24 into a back room of her store that we didn't see before. There's shelves with all these other little oddities on them. This is where we get a reference to caveat. Caveat has this little bunny prominently featured in it. And the bunny is on display on one of the shelves in this store, fun little call out. That monkey, isn't that the monkey from? What's it? The monkey? Yes.
Starting point is 00:58:47 Yes, it's the Stephen King. Oh, the monkey. The monkey. What's it called? Yes. But also for anyone who's seen caveat, this bunny has symbols. So it's, I guess, a different bunny that is in caveat. Again, which I haven't seen, so I don't know the significance of that, but just kind of I guess a different bunny that is in caveat.
Starting point is 00:59:05 Again, which I haven't seen, so I don't know the significance of that, but just kind of fun little detail. And in this room, there is a large wooden chest and she kneels down to it. The music is dramatically swelling. Something important is in this chest, but we don't see what it is and cuts away.
Starting point is 00:59:30 We're back at Ted and Yana's, whoever Yana is. Wait, should we guess what's in the chest? Sure. It's definitely her sister. What do you think, Emily? Any guesses about what's in the chest? What's in the box? The mask.
Starting point is 00:59:45 The white mask? Oh, that's a good guess. Or the black raincoat. Or both. Or both. Or both. Or Yana. Or Yana. Oh, what else could it be? A picnic lunch. Yum. Nice. Yum.
Starting point is 01:00:03 Yum. Nice. Yum. Yum. Yana is sitting in the living room. We see the place is now pretty furnished. It's looking pretty good. And she has found Danny's camera and she's kind of scrolling through the photos, the time-lapse photos that we saw before. Was that not taken into evidence? through the photos, the time lapse photos that we saw before. And- Was that not taken into evidence? Although I guess like, do they keep the camera
Starting point is 01:00:28 even if they do take it into evidence? Maybe they give it back. Yeah, maybe they give it back. I don't know how that works. I don't know. But Ted comes home and she says, I need to show you something and shows him one of the photos.
Starting point is 01:00:41 And it looks like Danny is in the bathroom. So the way that the camera was facing is facing kind of the living room and there's a door that goes to a bathroom, but the light is off. So it's just like dark and there's just a woman's face kind of floating in the darkness of the bathroom looking straight at the camera. It's a creepy photo, but Ted looks at it and says, okay, like, yeah, she lived here. It's not that weird for her to be in this photo. Yana drops the bomb. I took this photo two nights ago. Oh, wait, what? And then she says how freaked out she is living here. She wants to go back to her apartment in the city.
Starting point is 01:01:33 And yes, yes, especially while he's working nights. She doesn't like being there. She tells him last night and it like cuts back. So we're seeing her experience of the previous night where she's walking up to the bedroom. Here's something behind her jumpscare turns and sees Danny in the hallway. Ted's kind of laughing at her.
Starting point is 01:01:56 Like you'd think my wife is haunting this house. And Ted, you can go fuck yourself. Yes, Ted, I do. You can go fuck yourself right now. I really do. And I have evidence to support it. And also, yeah, Ted, you can go fuck yourself. I do. You can go fuck yourself right now. I really do. And I have evidence to support it. And also, yeah, Ted, it doesn't matter. I don't want to be here. She was brutally murdered. Your wife was brutally murdered less than a year ago.
Starting point is 01:02:14 In this house. Let's not laugh. Laugh about that. Yeah. Yeah. She says, I'm mad at Ted. Oh my God. Yeah, we're not feeling great about Ted. And especially because he, again, kind of rolls his eyes at her and says, you sound just like her sister, which is rude. Let's not be dismissive of your girlfriend's- Fears. Concerns and fears. Or your dead wife's sister. Yeah. And so Yana says, oh, speaking of something arrived from Darcy. She sent something to the house.
Starting point is 01:02:53 I forgot to mention points over to a corner in the room by the dining table. We see the big large wooden chest. We're going to find out what's in the chest. They walk over to it and are trying to open it. It's locked. They can't open it. They're like, what do you think is in there? We have the same question. A picnic lunch.
Starting point is 01:03:18 A mystery box, man. The power of a mystery box. It's a powerful thing. I've probably mentioned this before. I think about it all the time. There's an episode of Family Guy, which I don't really watch, but for some reason this has really stuck with me where they, one character wins a prize and they can either get a yacht or the mystery box.
Starting point is 01:03:39 Oh, that's so funny. And all of them always choose the mystery box and it's like two free movie tickets or something. But I mean, the mystery box and it's like two free movie tickets or something. But I mean, the mystery box is a powerful thing. I get it. Compelling. It's compelling. And a real power play for her to send it without the key. She clearly sent it without the key. And that was on purpose. Interesting.
Starting point is 01:04:00 Yeah. Well, guess what? Knock, knock. She's here. Guess what? Knock, knock. She's here. Guess what? Knock, knock. It's just a bunch of baby possums. And they see her arriving, being dropped off. They are confused that she's arrived. What is she doing here? They let her in. She says, well, today's the anniversary. Ted said I could come and stay. And he's like, well, I didn't really say that. And I wish you would have called and told us because I'm working tonight. Like I have to, I have to go pretty soon and Yana is going to go back to the city. And so we won't be here. And she says, that's
Starting point is 01:04:47 okay. I don't mind being here by myself. I just want to be in this space. I'm here already. And so I'd like to stay. And there's a lot of like, because she's blind, they do a lot of looks back and forth to each other because they can be rude right in front of her face basically, like they're giving each other looks like, oh, come on, this is so annoying. And then she walks over to where the chest is, Darcy does, pulls out the key, opens the chest. And I think we see a little glimpse of something but it's hard to tell what it is.
Starting point is 01:05:28 We see like more wood and maybe a wooden hand. It's something weird, something we haven't seen before. So they kind of feel like they have no choice really and they're just saying, okay, you can stay but we weren't expecting company. There's not really any food. feel like they have no choice really. And they're just saying, okay, you can stay, but we weren't expecting company. There's not really any food. Yana will get you settled in, but then she's going to leave. I have to leave right now. And again, Darcy's like, that's fine. So Ted leaves for work. Yana looks pretty irritated that she has to deal with this,
Starting point is 01:06:06 which is fair enough. Your boyfriend leaving you to deal with this situation. I might be annoyed as well and uncomfortable. You would also think that they would care more about the anniversary of her death. He seems to be so deeply indifferent about it. He's pretty indifferent about it. I think there's even a part earlier where she when she shows him the camera, she's like, oh, well, yeah, I found this camera. Like, do you want to keep it? He's kind of like, no, I don't really care.
Starting point is 01:06:35 She's like, there's a lot of photos of you and Danny on here. Like, I think it'd be weird if you didn't keep it. And he's like, OK, I'll keep it. Yuck. Fuck, Ted. His vibe is not of a grieving man. So Ted is gone. It's just Yana and Darcy as Yana is kind of gathering her things, getting ready to go back to her apartment for the night. And Darcy turns to her and she's by the wooden chest again. And she says, did you know that the gift
Starting point is 01:07:09 for the fifth anniversary of a wedding is wood? The wood year. Yana looks confused. She says, Ted and I aren't married. And she says, this was a gift someone gave to my parents. And I just thought you guys should have it. And Deanna sees, I think we maybe see what it is now. And it's just a really big wooden man that looks like a little like gollum-y.
Starting point is 01:07:43 It's really creepy. You shouldn't have. man that looks like a little like golemy. It's really creepy. Oh, you shouldn't have. Oh, that's so, yeah, such a sweet, thoughtful present. There's no ulterior motive whatsoever. It is life size, the size of a full grown man. Wow. And Yana cannot hide the discomfort she has Yana cannot hide the discomfort she has when seeing it
Starting point is 01:08:11 and says, you know, oh, but if it's your parents, like shouldn't you keep it? Darcy says, do you not like it? Or? She says, that's not gonna work, bitch. But Yana to her credit is like, yeah, kind of don't. I think it's a pretty bizarre gift. I don't really want it. And I can't remember what she says, but she's like, well, it's here.
Starting point is 01:08:33 And I got it for you. We cut to moments later, the big wooden man is sitting at the dining table. Okay, I hate that. The big wooden man is sitting at the dining table. Okay. Okay, I hate that. This man is lifelike, but made out of wood and like very wrinkly and his mouth is wide. Wrinkly wood.
Starting point is 01:08:56 It's carved to be kind of wrinkly and his mouth is wide open. No. What? He's sitting at the table now with his hands on the table in this kind of pose. Do not get me this for my wood anniversary. Uh.
Starting point is 01:09:14 Also, what was the deal with their parents? This is a, or maybe she's just lying about that. Maybe that's not real. Yeah, yeah, I'm not sure. If it is, I want to know more about what their upbringing was like. Yeah, the same. Well, maybe in some of the other movies in this universe,
Starting point is 01:09:28 the question is answered. That's the that's the allure of this extended universe. So Yana is all packed up, ready to go, saying, OK, well, this has been really great. You have a really wonderful night. And guess what? She can't find her car keys. She asks, Darcy, have you seen my keys? Darcy kind of turns and gives her a look of like,
Starting point is 01:09:57 I'm blind. I'm blind. So no, even though we were kind of like, mm, mm. No, even though we were kind of like, mm. Mm. And, cause yeah, she's also seeming like not surprised or concerned about this at all. Right.
Starting point is 01:10:13 So Yana's like, I guess, I guess I can't leave. And Darcy says, good, I was hoping the three of us could spend some time together referring to them and the wooden man. No. Now, cut to just a little while later, Yana and Darcy are sitting across from each other at the dining table where the big wooden man is sitting at the head of the table. Yana keeps kind of glancing at it, obviously very creeped out. And Darcy shows that she has the glass eye. Yana says, why do you have that?
Starting point is 01:10:55 What do you do with that? And Darcy tells her, I can read items, personal items work best, especially items that were on the person's body frequently. Yana, again, skeptical, not really believing this. Oh, so you're psychic. That's cool. Really cool. Oh my God, don't condescend to this blind woman right now. Do not do that. And she says something like, but like why would you want that eye, that guy killed your sister?
Starting point is 01:11:29 Like I wouldn't want that. And Darcy says, Olin Bull did not kill my sister. Mm-hmm. Yana is confused by this information, what are you talking about? And we get a flashback picking up exactly where we left off of Danny not opening the door for Olin. And he's saying like, please, you're making a mistake.
Starting point is 01:11:57 And she says, I know, I like, I'm sorry, I just can't, I can't let you in, I can't do it. And he says, okay, okay, what can we do? What can we do? He says, I'll go get help. You stay here. I'll go get help. I'll be right back. She says, okay. She's way scared. She does grab a hammer. Okay. And she-
Starting point is 01:12:22 This is when you run out to your car with the hammer screaming. Yes, which she does not do. She's glancing around all the dark corners of the house. And there's again, just this like glowing yellow tent in the middle of the room. She grabs the camera and slowly backs into the tent, which I wouldn't do. She zips herself in there.
Starting point is 01:12:51 People can see that you're in the tent. It's not a room. Not a room. Also it's a tent. I mean, anything can get through that tent. Not to victim blame, but that was a bad idea. This is a mistake. She is now scrolling through her photos,
Starting point is 01:13:08 the time-lapse photos that are just a blocked off shot of basically the tent and the front door and the bathroom and the stairs that go up to the bedroom. And she sees herself when she walked down to go outside and then jump scare a man in a black raincoat with a creepy white mask in the house. Yeah. It's so scary.
Starting point is 01:13:38 So now she's in the tent. She's absolutely like shaking, like, fuck, there's someone in here with me. And now I'm zipped into a tent. And now I'm zipped into a tent. like shaking like, fuck, there's someone in here with me. And now I'm zipped into a tent. And now I'm zipped into a tent. She's got her hammer in her hand. She reaches, she's about to like slowly unzip the tent.
Starting point is 01:13:57 Oh God, there's no quiet way to get in and out of a tent. No, they're so rustly. And it's not secretive at all. There's a light in there. You have like a silhouette there. It's like, they're so rustly. And it's not secretive at all. There's a light in there. You have like a silhouette there. It's like, you're so visible. You're like, you've spot lit yourself in a loud prison. Yeah, it's really bad.
Starting point is 01:14:14 Yeah, a loud prison. And she unzips it and is greeted by the face just right there. She screams and I think kind of swings the hammer, but this person just grabs it from her hand and walks backwards and just kind of blocks the tent and squats down holding the hammer, just looking at her. No, no, no.
Starting point is 01:14:41 So bad. And then we see him kind of moving toward her and then it cuts to the aftermath and we just see from the outside the tent like covered in blood now and him again just squatting there. Cut back to Yana and Darcy and Yana is asking her, okay, if Olin didn't kill your sister, who did? And then we cut to the hospital, Ted at the hospital, talking to the orderly we saw earlier that was being cruel to the other patient.
Starting point is 01:15:21 The sadistic orderly. And he's, this guy has really bad vibes. His name's Ivan. Even Ted is like seemingly pretty creeped out by him. Yeah, we're getting the vibes that he's like cruel to the patients because there's nothing they can do about it because anything that they say you can just be like, oh, well, like they're crazy. Oof, really bad, really bad, really bad. Really bad. And. Darcy tells Yana it was an orderly that works with Ted.
Starting point is 01:15:53 His name's Ivan. Oh, she knows. Wow. I mean, yeah, I guess. Why would you think it had been Olin when been Olin when then Olin ended up murdered like right after? Well, we don't know. Wouldn't you think it was whoever murdered him too? Right.
Starting point is 01:16:16 We don't know how Olin died, do we? No. Smashed head though. I mean, yes, we know how he died, but we don't know who did it or. Right, I just mean in terms of like, if I'm on this case, if I'm a detective. Yeah, there's a surprising lack of detectives involved.
Starting point is 01:16:30 I'm not thinking that it's the man who ended up with a smashed head like this and the same night. Yeah. Personally. I don't know, that's just me. Yes, but we don't know that it was the same night also. Fair. It's kind of a little unclear.
Starting point is 01:16:48 So we go back to Ted and Ivan. Ivan brings up, you didn't tell me your wife had a twin. Oh, Ivan still works there. Ivan still works there, yes. Okay. And Ted is like, how do you know that? And he says, oh, like I saw her and I thought I was seeing a ghost. She was in town because she's come here obviously to visit.
Starting point is 01:17:06 I haven't saw her, was pretty freaked out. It's like, is everything good? I thought I killed her. I mean, oh. And at this moment, Yana calls Ted. Darcy has fallen asleep at the dining table in a pretty similar position to the wooden man where her hands are just kind of spread across the table and her head is like lolling forwards.
Starting point is 01:17:34 I can't fall asleep in my bed at the right time when I've had a long day. How does anyone fall asleep in this situation or in that position? I'm amazed. The amount of times people fall asleep in horror movies, I'm always shocked. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It is impressive. Yana is whispering to Ted on the phone saying, your wife's sister is saying that someone named Ivan killed Dani.
Starting point is 01:18:02 Wait, didn't Yana used to work there? That's true. She was a pharmaceutical rep. Ah, fair enough. So she didn't work in the hospital, but they worked together occasionally. Got it, got it, got it. So Ted looks very surprised by this.
Starting point is 01:18:18 She says, do you know who that is? He's like, yeah, but like what? And she's like, how would she even know his name? Like, this is really weird. That's a good question. Yeah. She's on the little second floor balcony. The bedrooms are up on the second floor of this place, but there's like a little balcony that overlooks onto the living and dining area. So she's kind of, she's looking over at Darcy sleeping
Starting point is 01:18:45 as she's whispering to Ted. And she looks down below to the dining table and the wooden man's head is looking up at her. Oh my God. She drops the phone. I think she had hung up with Ted, but she drops the phone, like jumps back freaked out
Starting point is 01:19:09 and then like tiptoes back over, looks over again, he's back to normal. No. Facing forward. Did Darcy, does Darcy's spirit go into the wooden man when she falls asleep? Is that what it is?
Starting point is 01:19:22 I mean, if I'm Yana, I'm screaming for Darcy to wake up. Yeah, I would as well. I am waking her up. But Yana like tiptoes down. I think she may be like whispers like Darcy, Darcy. No, I'm going, Darcy! But she goes back and picks up her phone
Starting point is 01:19:43 and she's looking at this wooden man. She, for some reason, is putting her fingers almost in his wide open mouth. Absolutely not. Which is insane. And then she notices five holes drilled into the back of the head. And she's looking in them,
Starting point is 01:20:03 almost like a bowling ball with a couple of extra holes. And she thinks she can see some things. She goes and grabs some tweezers. No. No, you gotta wake Darcy up. You can't. You can't be doing this, Yana. You can't be tweezing into this man's head.
Starting point is 01:20:20 You gotta ask Darcy first. You gotta say, hey, is this the type of wooden man you can put a tweezer into or not? What do you think about these holes? What do you think about, can he move his head? Has this happened to you before? How did you know Ivan's name? Why did you immediately fall asleep?
Starting point is 01:20:32 What am I supposed to do? Why are you asleep? Would you like a bed? Like what's going on? What is going on? But no, she tweezers out from one of the holes very slowly pulls out from one of the holes, very slowly pulls out a lock of platinum blonde hair.
Starting point is 01:20:51 No. Sets that down, goes to the next hole, tweezers out. There's like a rolled up photo, opens it up. It's a photo of Danny and Darcy as kids. No. Next hole, she pulls out another photo. It's them, Danny and Darcy again, as adults this time. Okay, okay, okay, okay.
Starting point is 01:21:16 Fourth hole, a tooth. No! Hate to see it. And fifth hole, she pulls out a vial of blood. Really bad. And as she sees that, we hear Darcy scream, put them back! Yeah, I'd be like, okay.
Starting point is 01:21:40 Yeah, you better put them back right away. Put them right back. She does, she does. She's like, what is all this stuff? And she's not answering any of her questions. She's just saying, you need to put him back right away. Put him right back. She does. She does. She's like, what is all this stuff? And she's not answering any of her questions. She's saying you need to put that back right now. And she's like, OK, I am. And here you go.
Starting point is 01:21:52 One, two, three, four, five, back in. Good night. I'm going to go to bed now. No. She's not asking any follow up questions. I'm getting out on foot. I know, right? I would just leave. But they are in the middle of the country. Like, there's nothing around, really.
Starting point is 01:22:06 But I mean, theoretically, Olin walked there from the hospital. The hospital, yeah. I guess maybe a murderer is there. There's no good options right now. Yeah, there's not a lot of good options. Yeah, you don't want to walk to... Yeah, you don't want to go to that hospital right now.
Starting point is 01:22:19 So, Yana goes to bed. Darcy is sleeping on the couch now. Yana gets up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. The bathroom is downstairs by where Darcy and the wooden man are. You gotta just pee in a corner, my love. And it's one of those bathrooms
Starting point is 01:22:37 where the light switch is on the outside. I don't know, I feel like they had these when I was in Ireland as well. And I'm like, why are... Hate that shit. Hate that shit. Why did anybody think that this was a good idea? Oh my God. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:22:51 Yeah, well, how hard would it be to just put it inside the bathroom? Why does it have to be outside the bathroom? This is the thing. I will not go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Especially, I'm scared to honestly do it in my own home, but I definitely won't do it in a different place. Yeah. But if I am, if I am, if I must, but I definitely won't do it in a different place.
Starting point is 01:23:05 But if I am, if I am, if I must, if I must, you cannot turn that light on because then you turn the light off and it's pitch black and can't see shit. So you have to. You have to do it in the dark. You have to keep the lights off, but you have to keep the door open
Starting point is 01:23:20 because I'm not gonna shut a door in a dark bathroom. No. Rather risk the embarrassment of being seen peeing than be murdered. Yes. Yeah, always. We all pee, it's fine. Yeah, she, Yana does not do either of those.
Starting point is 01:23:36 She goes in there, she turns the lights on, she closes the door. Oh, God. And of course, while she's in there washing her hands, the lights turn off. Of course. She opens the door, looks out into the living area. Oh, God. And of course, while she's in there washing her hands, the lights turn off. Of course. She opens the door, looks out into the living area.
Starting point is 01:23:50 Darcy's still sleeping on the couch. The camera angle, I don't think we see if the wooden man is there or not. I can't actually remember. Is it like a timer light or it's just switched off? No, it's a switch light. No! Yana runs back upstairs.
Starting point is 01:24:08 Yana. Crawls in bed, pulls the covers up high. Are the lights on in the bedroom? No, maybe one bedside lamp, but it's not enough. She's still like maybe hearing things, creaky. She grabs the camera again for some reason, which I'm like, don't do that. I don't know why she's doing it, but oh, she's scrolling through like old videos of Danny and Ted and there's a video of them inside the tent together and Danny is holding the camera framing her face.
Starting point is 01:24:46 And then it's like Ted's really cold and uncomfortable and like pans to him. And you see him like shivering with a beanie on and like all grouchy. And Yana is looking around the room. I don't know why she's really watching this video but she starts it over from the top. And we see Danny saying, oh, Ted's so cold and grumpy camera pans. And we see like ghost Danny with like white
Starting point is 01:25:12 eyes, jump scare. Wait in the photo, in the video, in the video. Yes. And so Yana, Danny is taking the video and you see a ghost Danny in the video. Yes. Okay, okay, okay. All right. And Yana drops the camera, a flash goes off, illuminating a ghost Danny in the corner of the room that just says, run! Oh my fucking God! Oh my God!
Starting point is 01:25:41 Oh my God! She does like run downstairs. She hears something banging inside the chest. Oh my God, I'm so scared. You're doing a really good job. I'm like legitimately really scared. Scary. She's like approaching the chest.
Starting point is 01:26:00 No, that wasn't the rule. That wasn't what we said. We said run. I'm like, wake up fucking Darcy, wake her up. I know. Run, run. But she goes and she's really scared. And if a ghost told me to do fucking anything I'm doing.
Starting point is 01:26:14 I know, I know, 100%. But she opens the chest and we're like, what the fuck is it gonna be? It's her car keys. Okay. So she- Oh, so maybe Danny was giving her her car keys. Okay. So she- Oh, so maybe Danny was giving her her car keys. Maybe.
Starting point is 01:26:27 Okay. So we see she grabs the car keys. She runs out that door. She does not speak to Darcy. She's just out of there. But as soon as she walks out of the house, she like turns back and looks at it and all the lights in the house are suddenly on.
Starting point is 01:26:42 And then they all turn off and it's like pitch black. And she's looking into the, she like left the front door open, which is now just like a black hole and there's just like silently little ghost Danny head floating out towards her and she just gets in the car, drives off. Okay, okay. Now we see later that evening, Ted coming home from work. Did Ted kill her? It's like, not quite done. I mean, yeah, we're not feeling good about Ted.
Starting point is 01:27:19 Yeah. And the wooden man is now sitting at a different seat of the dining table. I love this guy. I'm back on board. This guy is funny. And Darcy is not anywhere to be seen. Neither is Yana.
Starting point is 01:27:36 I think he probably has noticed that Yana's car is gone. But that was what he expected. Oh, true. I think maybe he got a call from her, like freaking out. Oh, right. That's right. Earlier she called him. So he finds Darcy on that little balcony area where we saw Danny installing a trap door earlier. Right. We still don't know about that trap door. And we see that Darcy is holding Ted's wedding ring.
Starting point is 01:28:09 Yeah. Yeah. And she's like hunched over. Yeah, I mean, why did you build a trap door inside your home? Maybe because your husband's a really scary guy. It's, yeah, I don't know. We got a lot of questions.
Starting point is 01:28:23 We got a lot of questions. She's kind of rocking back and forth like really upset and she's talking about Olin and she says he came here to save her and I dragged him from his bed and I killed him. Whoa, holy shit. Okay, so she's about to fucking go ape shit on Ted. Holy shit. Okay. So she's about to fucking go ape shit on Ted. And so she's feeling very guilty and devastated about, I mean, that was a bet. That was a girl you can read objects and you jumped straight to murder. At least take that eye out of his head first. Like you could read that. You could start there. Yeah. So Ted is immediately saying, you know, Danny told me about this,
Starting point is 01:29:07 told me how you have had episodes where you see things that aren't there. Like this isn't real. Oh no. Ted is going to try to put her into that fucking psychiatric institute. Olin is the one that killed Danny. You did a good thing.
Starting point is 01:29:21 You did a good murder. Good, good, good, good, good, good job. And she says, no, good, good, good job. And she says, no, it was Ivan. It was Ivan. And he says, like, I can call the detective. They can explain to you again that it was Olin. If that will make you feel better. She says, no, I want you to go get Ivan and bring him here so I can kill him. Okay, okay. Well, and he says, why would Ivan kill Danny? And she looks up at him and she says, because you told him to.
Starting point is 01:29:56 And she says, all you had to do was say it was over. She would have been upset, but she would have gotten over you. Instead, you killed her. You had her killed. And we get a flashback to conversation between Ted and Ivan ironing out the details of Ivan killing, it's like being tasked with killing his wife. And he says, why don't you just divorce her? Great question. And Ted says, she loves me too much. She'll never get over me. And Ted, you piece of shit. And when she finds out about Yana, there's no way I'll get the house.
Starting point is 01:30:37 Oh wow. And then we see Olin in the room next to Ted's office overhearing this through the vents. Oh, Olin, you poor thing. And remember we saw that the door was open and like one of the doors of the hospital was open in the earlier scene and one of the patients was like sitting on the fire escape.
Starting point is 01:30:58 So I think there's like an implication that Olin broke out. Not that he, but he was going to be released. There's like a little backstory where we find out that Olin had killed his mom, and that's kind of all we had heard. And then from Darcy, we find out like his mom was extremely abusive and like pulled out his eye. That's the reason he like lost an eye. Oh my God. And she was, yeah, like trying to hurt him when he killed her. So it's like, yeah, not great to kill your mom, but also he's not like a crazy, crazy psychopath. Yeah. Oh my God.
Starting point is 01:31:34 And back to Darcy and Ted having this big confrontation. Darcy says, I like want to kill you, but I think it would be better just to expose you. I'm gonna make sure you lose everything. You're gonna lose your girlfriend. You're gonna lose this house. You're gonna lose your job, which is like pretty bold for a blind woman alone in like pretty much the middle of the night with this man.
Starting point is 01:32:00 I was like, oh, Darcy, Darcy, this isn't the place. But she does have- But yeah, she's got something. The wooden man, Danny the, Darcy, this isn't the place. But she does have the wooden man, Danny the ghost in there, I don't know. She's got Danny the ghost on her side, that's pretty good. And he says, okay, I'm gonna go back to the hospital, I'm gonna get Ivan, I'm gonna bring him here, we're gonna all sort this out.
Starting point is 01:32:20 Did you say if you bring Ivan here, she's gonna kill him? Right. And I actually can't remember if that's what he says he's gonna do because he leaves his phone there and he says, when I call, answer. And so maybe he's saying he's gonna like have Ivan call her so that she can't kill him, but so that he can explain. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:32:41 It's like a weird plan thing. And she's like- Probably what he's actually gonna do is he's gonna kill her. Is that what he's gonna try to do? Probably from hanging out. So it's like, doesn't really make sense. Whatever he says doesn't matter. Yeah, he's just trying to placate her a bit.
Starting point is 01:32:54 And she does seem like a little confused by it, but she's like, all right, fine. You go and if you bring Ivan back, like all the better. He says, okay, when the phone rings, pick it up. So we see him get in his car, rush back to the hospital and he's calling his own cell phone. It's ringing and ringing. We see Darcy ignoring it at first,
Starting point is 01:33:17 but then eventually she stands up and walks towards it. And we see that, of course, Ted has opened that trap. She stands up and walks towards it. And we see that, of course, Ted has opened that trap door. So there's just a big hole in this balcony. That's just a free drop to the floor below. It's the only one floor, but everything is stone. So not great. So she walks towards the phone and
Starting point is 01:33:48 just falls right through the trap door. Oh my God. Why the fuck is what's up with this trap door? We see that Ted sends Ivan to the house. It's like he's said, okay, we are, we have another problem. And presumably tells him he set up a trap and that hopefully she's already dead, but I need you to go there and if she's not dead, I need you to kill her. Ivan now comes to the house. Yeah, fair enough. Once again, wooden man at a different seat. Ivan finds Darcy, she is limbs at a bad angle. She's still alive, but there's a pool of blood
Starting point is 01:34:32 under her head, so she's definitely dying. And Ivan calls Ted to say, I found your phone. I think it's broken beyond repair. A little code. And so they're like, okay, great. Ivan leans down to kind of, again, taunt Darcy. He's an evil man. And he's like, saying like, don't worry, it's all going to be over soon. soon. You're about to die. And then she starts doing something with her hands. She's having this, she's trying to do something and she uses her five fingers and arranges them in a little bowling ball shape
Starting point is 01:35:23 and is pressing them to her chest and saying like, we are connected. We are connected, which is something her sister had said to her in the voicemail earlier. Um, what she was referring to because she had service at the place now enough to be able to call her like I were connected to the internet or whatever. And so she's saying, we are connected, we are connected. And we hear something like moving at the bottom of the stairs. We've lost eyes on Wooded Man. And Ivan is looking around, freaked out, and a camera flash goes off in the bedroom upstairs.
Starting point is 01:36:07 Hell yeah. He walks up the stairs to look in the bedroom. The camera's just flashing and flashing, taking photos just on the bed. There's nothing in there. He hears footsteps at the bottom of the stairs and... She used the wooden man to kill Olin. Sorry, now I'm like, because the footsteps were freaky.
Starting point is 01:36:35 Yeah. So he... Okay, so this wood man is strong. Head bashing strong. Yep. So Ivan tries to go down the stairs, but the wooden man is just standing at the bottom of the stairs now. And there's like a moment of him like frozen,
Starting point is 01:36:55 like what is that? And then the wooden man like lifts his arms up and starts walking towards Ivan. Ivan runs back up the stairs. The wooden man is following at a, at a unhurried pace. Very Michael Myers. Very Michael Myers. And Ivan runs to the place where the trap door is
Starting point is 01:37:23 and is trying to like climb over the balcony because he realizes there's no way to get out there. So he's like, if I jump back down, maybe I can go out the front door. But I think he falls off the balcony, same distance that Darcy fell. He falls right next to her, lands bad on a leg and like the bone pops out of his leg.
Starting point is 01:37:48 Great, okay. And he looks up through the trap, open trap door, and Danny's face, little ghost face, like smiles down at him. And we see him like trying to get up, but his legs so fucked up. And then wooden man is standing right behind him. And we just hear Ivan screaming and screaming.
Starting point is 01:38:16 And then he's like cut to him like motionless on the floor. Okay. Now we come back up with Ivan cuffed to a hospital bed in the mental hospital. Okay. Ted comes in and says, so what happened to you, Ivan? I heard you have a pretty crazy story. And Ivan is trying to figure out what's going on. And he says like, what's happening, Ted?
Starting point is 01:38:46 What do you mean? And Ted says, one of the nurses said that you said a wooden man tried to attack you, a man made of wood. And is just clearly using the opportunity to make Ivan appear- Tie up that loose end. Ivan appear insane and be committed to this hospital so that Ted can't be found out. Ivan is begging Ted, please don't do this. Ted also says that the other nurse also said he wanted to speak to a priest and Ivan is crying and crying. He's like, I won't say you did anything, I just want
Starting point is 01:39:29 to confess my sins. He says, nope, he's not going to allow that. Then he leaves the room and leaves the door open and lets in another patient that I didn't quite follow this, but we've seen this patient a few times wearing like a Hannibal Lecter mask. So this is like a seemingly like cannibalistic man and he just locks him in there with Ivan and like mask is off now and we just see his little like head
Starting point is 01:40:03 poke up from the foot of the bed. Ivan's screaming. Ivan's handcuffed and like can't move. And this guy just like looks at his foot and just starts like eating his foot. Oh my God. Ivan is screaming, cut away. We're assuming, yeah, that Ivan's gonna get eaten alive. So that's...
Starting point is 01:40:24 A really bad place to start. Ted is a fucked up man. cut away, we're assuming that Ivan's gonna get eaten alive. So that's- A really bad place to start. Ted is a fucked up man. Yeah. And we do hear a voicemail from Yana to Ted screaming at him, breaking up with him, being like, I don't want any part of this. I don't think she knows the truth necessarily, but she's still freaked out enough to not want anything to do with him.
Starting point is 01:40:48 Ted can't possibly be worth this. Right. She's like, don't ever call me again. I don't ever want to speak to you again. So Ted is- This, the man who claimed his wife was so in love with him. She would have never survived this one very quickly. He was able to be like, actually, goodbye.
Starting point is 01:41:03 You're not worth it. So he- Women are obsessed with me. He arrives back at his house, at the house after work, and there is a package that has been delivered. Did Darcy die as far as we know? Darcy died, yes. There is like a, maybe Darcy was the one that looked up
Starting point is 01:41:28 and saw Danny smiling at her. Cause it was, it's like a sweet moment of like, obviously it's very sad, but it is kind of like they're getting to be together again. Again, if I'm a detective in this, and this man chooses to continue living in the home where at least as far as I know, two members of his family have been murdered
Starting point is 01:41:50 on the same night, one year apart. Yeah, we're gonna take a closer look into that. I am not loving this guy's vibe at the very least. Especially since like the murderer quote unquote is dead. He's no longer with us. Because I locked him up in my hospital and then uh-oh he got eaten by another guy in my hospital. Right.
Starting point is 01:42:09 But I'm really good at my job, I'm a good doctor and other than those, other than the guy escaping and killing my wife and then the other guy who worked for me who killed her sister then got eaten under my watch. Other than that, I'm really good, really cool and nothing to see here. Can you believe all this has happened to me? Can you believe it? Yeah, I'm really good, really cool, and nothing to see here. Can you believe all this has happened to me? Can you believe it?
Starting point is 01:42:27 Yeah, I'm just super unlucky. And if you think that's bad, women are obsessed with me. So he gets this box delivered and opens it up and it is the haunted bellboy bell from the open. He sets it down on the dining table in front of him and he kind of smirking like, oh yeah, I remember this. And he's-
Starting point is 01:42:56 This bitch trying to get me from beyond the grave, it won't work. Yeah. And he, you know, could just throw that bell right in the trash. But of course, he's like, I'm going to ring it. I got it. And he rings it.
Starting point is 01:43:14 And there's like a moment where he like looks a little scared. He's looking around. He like, like maybe he heard a noise. But a couple minutes go by, nothing happens. And he looks smug as ever, and he's like, oh, I knew it, I knew there was no truth to anything that Darcy said, and he's sitting there across from the bell and we get a wide shot and see behind him,
Starting point is 01:43:40 a ghost bell boy, and that's the end of the movie. Okay. Okay, I like that, that was good. him a ghost bellboy. And that's the end of the movie. Okay. Okay, I like that. That was good. That was fun. That was a good one. It's scary.
Starting point is 01:43:51 It's really scary. I mean, the filmmaking of course is what. The storytelling. It's the storytelling that did it for me. But yeah, it is a really scary one and it's rare that I get scared. I really liked it and I'm excited to watch his other movies. I think he has another one coming out soon too,
Starting point is 01:44:15 Damien McCarthy. Love, I realize I didn't do any Irish accents really during that, but they are, it is Irish. It is Irish. So that's also Irish. Irish. It is Irish. So that's also Irish. Irish. Irish. Irish.
Starting point is 01:44:28 So he, Damien McCarthy has a movie in post-production called Hocam. A horror writer visits an Irish inn to scatter his parents ashes unaware the property is said to be haunted by a witch. Has Adam, Adam Scott in it. Oh, that's fun. Fun, yes. I'm, I'm, I'm's Adam Scott in it. That's fun. Fun, yes, I'm into it.
Starting point is 01:44:49 I like Damien McCarthy's style. I'm excited for the whole extended universe. Me too, and it's weird you say Adam Scott because the whole time I kept thinking like, I wish they could just throw on Parks and Rec or something when Yana was over. Like I literally kept thinking that myself. Like what would you do? Like you gotta just put on, you gotta just like put on Parks and Rec or something when Yana was over. Like I literally kept thinking at myself, like what would you do?
Starting point is 01:45:05 Like you gotta just put on, you gotta just like put on Parks and Rec. You gotta put on a TV show that just like, you know, eases that tension. Something nice and calming. Why are people like watching TV more in these horror movies, you know? Yeah, that makes me think I watched Mountain Head
Starting point is 01:45:21 last night and- Oh, how was it? It's fun. It's like what you expect it to be, I think. Right. Is it worth a watch? I think it's worth the watch. Okay.
Starting point is 01:45:30 And there's a scene where I'm pretty sure they're watching Yoga with Adrienne in it, which really made me laugh. Oh, fuck yeah. Steve Carell's like doing some yoga and I'm like, I'm pretty sure that's Yoga with Adrienne. She's very funny. Wait, is that, that's a movie?
Starting point is 01:45:44 Or is it a TV show? It's a movie, okay, okay, okay. Yeah, I watched Sirens. I mean, I'm not done with itenne, which was very funny. Wait, is that, that's a movie? Or is it a TV show? It's a movie, okay, okay, okay. Yeah, I watched Sirens. I mean, I'm not done with it yet, but I fucking- Oh, I've started it. I'm enjoying it. I'm enjoying it too. So yeah, you guys, listeners,
Starting point is 01:45:56 throw on some Parks and Recs, some Sirens. You gotta just be peaceful. To come down from this scary time, but also know that it's really, watching the movie is very scary and I was scared afterwards as well, but it's kind of like everyone, it's a little happy ending-ish.
Starting point is 01:46:16 Yeah, he gets what's coming to him. Yeah, yeah, even though our protagonists do perish, it is at least a satisfying ending. Yeah. So thank you to our patrons for picking it, and we will do when evil lurks at some point in the future, and you can hear Henley really being upset by, you know the scene.
Starting point is 01:46:42 I mean, I won't be there. Oh, no. I won't be there for that. I mean, whether she's there or not, she will not be, Henley will be out. I'll be out. Clocked out. Henley isn't here anymore. Oh boy, I had fun with that.
Starting point is 01:46:55 It was fun to get scared. A little scared. A little bit scared. And we gotta watch the trailer. Yes, so if you want to see the trailer, go to our Patreon.

Starting point is 01:48:02 We'll be back next week with a new episode. We love you. That was a hate gum podcast. Hi there, my name is Alison Williams. If you know who I am at all, it would probably be thanks to my job as an actress on shows like Girls and in movies like Megan. Recently, when I was having a moment of gratitude
Starting point is 01:48:24 for my group chat, I thought, I wish everyone could have these geniuses at their fingertips like I do. Well, now you do. Hi, hi, it's Hope. Hey babe, it's Jamie. Welcome to our podcast, Landlines, where we share our life-sustaining
Starting point is 01:48:37 and shame-extinguishing friendship. We have known each other and we've been friends for a very long time. Hope was my first best friend, but it wasn't mutual. I mean, I asked, I distinctly remember calling her on the phone and asking if she'd sit next to me on the bus and she said maybe. At least she didn't say no. She always says maybe. She wasn't sure.
Starting point is 01:48:59 Maybe he was like discerning. When I was pregnant, I started this group chat to prepare and crowdsource, and it's been such a delight to troubleshoot with our friend group. And we just had this thought, should we invite other people into our group chat? I'm a therapist. I'm a trained early childhood educator. And I'm, well, you know, whatever I am. I guess someone who has the vibe of having it all together.
Starting point is 01:49:22 And still, the three of us find it hard to be moms, partners, friends, family members, professional women, and just, you know, adults. The stuff we're talking about, whatever the recent fight was with our partner or the parenting concern we have or a funny thing with our kids, or it's like, what's going on with my body? I feel like I have like a family of squirrels living in my lower abdomen.
Starting point is 01:49:44 Like I feel affirmed, I feel normalized, I feel like I'm not going fucking crazy. And I had to talk it out with you guys with different perspectives and different identities that you're juggling. Totally. Lifelong friendship has been our lifeline. We sincerely hope our conversation makes you feel less alone in whatever you're going through. So subscribe to landlines on Spotify, Apples, Pocket Casts, or wherever you get your podcasts. New episodes are out now on Headcom. Love you!
