And you're listening to Too Scary, Didn't Watch.
Hi everyone. Welcome to Too Scary Didn't Watch bonus episode number two for February.
Wow.
And because it's a romantic month, we are switching things up and doing a romantic film.
Oh my god. She's being 100% serious.
Don't believe her, you guys.
Don't fall for it.
There are romantic elements to what we're about to cover,
I would say.
I told Sammy before we did this, Mary Beth Barone
calls it her favorite rom-com, Red Eye.
Red Eye, a film which I only think of as romantic because it stars two incredibly awful people.
Yep, and that's a pretty good reason to feel that way because it's confusing the whole
way through.
It is, and that's the main thing I want to talk about, honestly.
This is really not going to help our whole, like, don't be in love with serial killers
thing.
Yeah, I wrote that down.
I was like, this is major Mark Duplass problems for me.
I was having the ick for sure with Killian Murphy in this film.
I got to say. Well, certainly towards the end, there's some pretty
no, even in the funny stuff happening.
Well, speak for yourself, Fendley.
OK, we used to find out.
I feel like you've never been a big Killian person though, right?
No, I was obsessed with him in Peaky Blinders.
Fully obsessed with him in Peaky Blinders.
But yeah, no, no, I didn't have a thing from when he was
what was the character in Batman?
Scarecrow. That was legitimately terrifying.
He is kind of scary.
He's like the sharpness of his features is a little scary.
Yeah. It's like a lot. It's just a lot to process. Yes. And that's what made him so perfect for
for this film, which came out in 2005, directed by Wes Craven. Oh, shit. Written by Carl Ellsworth, starring Rachel McAdams, Killian Murphy and
Brian Cox. Brian Cox. Oh my god. Okay, I'm also upset at this having come out in 2005
because that's 20 years ago and that's longer than I thought for sure. That is pretty crazy.
Really sad.
Because I remember when this movie came out
and I remember thinking it looked so scary.
I bet I could probably watch it now.
Do you think?
It's more of a thriller, I would say.
It's disturbing.
There's certainly like psychological things
that are horrifying.
I watched it, Emily.
You can definitely watch it.
It's also so short.
It's an hour and 20 minutes.
It's so short. God, they just don't do it like that anymore.
No, they don't. Killian certainly doesn't. He just made,
every movie he does now is three of those movies. Yeah, exactly.
Wow. And Red Eye is streaming on Paramount Plus.
It has an 80% on Rotten Tomatoes, 71% on Metacritic, 6.5 on IMDB.
Budget was $26 million, it made $96.2 million.
I think I might have seen this movie in theaters.
If not, I must have seen it, you know, rented it from Blockbuster. I saw it at the time for sure.
And I can't remember if it was in theaters or not. But I just remember it was coming right off of
Rachel McAdams huge year with Mean Girls, Notebook, Combo.
I know, I'm literally looking it up. I need to know like where this came because she had a moment
where she was just the biggest freaking star. Oh my god,
yeah, those were both 2004. Right. And then she does Red Eye 2005. And I was like, damn it girl,
how I can't go see this in the movie. This looks too scary for me. Wow. Yeah. 2005 she does
Red Eye, Wedding Crashers and the Family Stone. Another big year for Rachel McAdams.
Wow. She just didn't have like the career I feel like she deserved though. Do you know
what I mean? Like it's like... I do know what you mean. She's a household name. She's been
in tons of stuff, but I feel like she's never reached that full potential. There's still
time. There's still time. There's still time. There's still time. She's, she's young. I kind of, something kind of tells me this is the way she always wanted it. I
don't know. That's me making a full narrative in my head, but yeah. I mean, I think she's
doing great. She keeps out of the public eye. She's got a lot of money. I think she's doing
really well and I think she's got a semblance of privacy And I think this may have been her plan all along.
And I was never actually Rachel McAdams fan.
I didn't dislike her.
I just didn't care really one way or the other about her.
Until, right?
I told you guys the real game changer for me was,
are you there, goddess be Margaret.
She was so good in that.
And the little girl in it.
The little girl is so good. Good. And the little girl in it. The little girl is so good.
I need to see it still. And I'm really excited to see it. I wasn't until you gave me that
recommend. And now I'm like, okay, I guess I got to.
It's such a cute little movie. Yeah. The selling point is that it's like Paddington
2. The only thing that's made me- You can sell me on anything telling me that.
Yeah. It's the only thing that's given me- You can sell me on anything, tell me that. Yeah, it's the only thing that's given me
the amount of good feelings that Paddington 2 did.
It's just like start to finish of the sweetest little movie.
You'll shed a tear, but it'll be-
Like a manageable-
A manageable amount.
Oh, so manageable, so manageable.
Love that, God, I love that.
What a dream.
It's really very good.
Uh, some trivia about red eye.
Killian Murphy wanted the role of Jackson so badly that he took a plane
from England to Hollywood two days before his wedding.
Hollywood straight to Hollywood.
Sorry, two days before his wedding, two days before his wedding
to have lunch with Wes Craven.
Craven later gave him the part saying that his eyes won him over.
No surprise there. No surprise there. Piercing blue eyes, really light blue, you know?
Yeah, like like a husky.
Yes. Oh, my God.
You know what I was thinking of the other day?
So recently the dog from Anatomy of a Fall
was at the Oscar luncheon, photographed on the red carpet
and he's got those piercing blue eyes as well.
And did you guys ever see,
this was kind of early YouTube days,
there was a video that was,
it was just a clip of a reality show that was about training dogs,
not the Cesar Millan one, but another one. And it was a woman holding a plate of cupcakes in front
of a husky going away, away, away. And the husky just goes into this like hypnotized, unblinking
stare at the cupcakes. Yeah, that's a good one.
That reminded me of the dog from Anatomy of a Fall.
And now, Cillian Murphy.
Cillian Murphy.
Full circle.
The entire airplane set was built on hydraulics
so that when turbulence was called for,
this whole set actually shook from side to side.
And you can tell this is a, there's
a lot of turbulence on this flight.
It is hard to get a whole group of people
to fake the same movement.
You know, it just wouldn't, it wouldn't work.
You have to toss them around.
Yeah, this was the right call.
The beginning of 4D, the very first 4D.
The very first 4D experience.
They built 40 theaters based off of this set.
Amazing.
I'm about to go see Godzilla X Kong in 4D.
It's so funny.
So excited.
Wait, when does the movie come out?
End of March.
Hell yeah, my boy Dan Stevens.
You know I'm so excited to see him.
I mean, I won't be actually seeing the movie
because 4D makes it impossible to watch.
You can't, yeah, you won't know a single thing that happens.
But I'm really excited.
You'll be too jostled.
This film was originally written for Sean Penn and Robin Wright, which, ooh, ooh, given
some of the subject matter in hindsight is pretty disturbing.
Ooh, I don't like that at all.
And Adrian Brody and Zach Braff and John Favreau were also considered for the part of Jackson
that went to Killian Murphy.
Really interesting different collection of vibes.
I could kind of see each of them in it.
Yeah.
Adrian Brody is, oh, I was thinking Adam Brody. So let me picture Adrian Brody for a second and I can still picture it. Yeah. Adrian Brody is. Oh, I was thinking Adam Brody. So let me picture Adrian Brody
for a second and I can still picture it. I can picture both. I can picture Adrian Brody.
He's the closest to Killian to me in. I think they could be scary in the same way. Yeah.
Yeah. John Favreau doesn't really work for me in this part. Maybe because I think of
him too intensely as chef. It's probably because he's a chef.
I think he would be good at the scary part, but less at the charming part for me.
I wouldn't fall in love with Jon Favreau.
Right. Exactly. I couldn't see it.
But some people do.
Some people do, probably.
I can't see Rachel McAdams falling in love with him.
Maybe another actress.
Yeah. Are there other what ifs for that role?
No, Rachel. Well, I guess I him, maybe another actress. Yeah. Are there other what ifs for that role? No, Rachel.
Well, I guess I mean, I guess Robin, right.
But Rachel was the only one listed in the IMDb trivia.
Other than that.
And this this movie has been in the news again recently
because on the Oppenheimer Press Tour,
Killian Murphy has been openly shitting on it saying, I don't think it's
a good movie. Oh, I know it's crazy. I think it's the duality of my character. It's why
I wanted to play it. The two thing, the nice guy and the bad guy in one. The only reason
red eye appealed to me is you could do that turn. I love Rachel McAdams and we had fun
making it, but I don't think it's a good movie. It's a good B movie.
So I mean, I'm killing. Well, he's not wrong.
That is I wondered because, yeah, it's definitely back in everyone's consciousness.
Right. As soon as you texted, like, do you guys are you interested in ready? I was like, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
I have the same reaction. That's why I watched it last night. Yeah, because it's like, stopped myself. Burned into my brain. Oh, man. I just, I was about to be like,
I guess, I guess I was like nine when this movie came out, because it came out 20 years ago and then I was like,
nope. I wasn't and that's I'm older than that, which is fine. But I just had one of
those moments where I thought about the actual amount of years in it. You know what I mean?
Yes, 100%. So whatever, you know, I also use 30 as a benchmark and then it's like, oh no, soon it's gonna have
to be like 40 as a benchmark. They need to add some numbers to that. Exactly. We're not
gonna think about that right now. It's just fine. Yeah, I'm not too worried about it.
I like getting older. Yeah, I really, you know, better now than five years ago
and then five years before that and then five years before
that and yes, at some point it will go back downhill
but we've got a while before that happens.
We've got a while.
That's all the trivia I have and I think we should save
the trailer for the end once again.
Okay.
So shall we just get into this recap? Red Eye? Yeah. Oh my
gosh. Yes, please. All aboard. Do you guys think of plane as a vessel? All aboard. Yeah,
it's a vessel. I don't think I, I mean, it is, but do I classify it that way? Just like
in my brain? I don't think I think of it in the same way.
I agree.
But it is one for sure.
Yeah, it's not.
The means of transportation takes you from point A to point B.
It is a kind of ship, airship.
It's an airship.
But it's not hitting that same part of my brain
in terms of excitement to hear that we've got a plane
movie versus a ship movie.
Yeah, I think it's really, I think in my mind, vessels, well, because a car is a vessel,
but similarly, it's like, I think of a vessel as like, you can move around in it more.
Oh, interesting. Like you're not in a seat.
Yeah, I don't think you have to be in a seat the whole time. For me,
a vessel is like a larger, like I can explore it more.
But then again, sometimes they're quite small.
So I actually don't know what the distinction is for me,
but it just feels- I think I even looked it up and I started getting confused.
So, because there's also human vessels, you know?
I mean, women are vessels for children.
They sometimes are. Not all of them. No, not all of them. Not all of them. Okay.
Very cool. Yeah. So planes.
Very cool. Yeah. So planes.
I got to start off by saying this font in these opening credits.
I was laughing the whole way through.
Right. I'm like Helvetica or what's happening. It's Lucida console. I looked it up. I just.
Oh, that is so funny.
I looked up basic fonts and it's like one of the first five
ones that comes up.
It's such a silly font.
That's what's coming up telling us
Cillian Murphy, Rachel McAdams.
That's immediately funny.
Laughing at this font.
Oh, it was the default font in Microsoft Notepad
from Windows 2000 through Windows 7.
Yes, it definitely feels like a default text, not one that is chosen for the opening credits
of a film, but especially when it's like not connected to anything. It's not like this
is like a computer film where they're hacking into things or something.
Right. Yes, it does look like a hackery text,
and that's not what this movie's about.
It also, just shouting out the composer for this movie
is Marco Beltrami.
He's a really great tension composer.
He composed, I mean, he's composed for so many things, but, you know,
scream. The one I was going to say because this is the kind of person I am is Free Solo.
There it is. Oh, yeah. And talk about tension. He's just a really great composer. Love him. So we are in a hotel at the front desk. There's a woman
named Cynthia looking overwhelmed, overworked, maybe kind of newish to the job, dealing with
angry customers. There's a married couple, the tailors yelling at her because she can't find their reservation.
She's looking really flustered and they're telling her, call Lisa.
Where's Lisa?
Lisa usually deals with us.
And so Cynthia calls Lisa, who is Rachel McAdams.
And in the background, we hear the angry lady yelling,
this is my receipt.
I printed it off the internet myself.
That dates it immediately.
Made me laugh.
I was like, when was this movie made?
2001?
That was my guess when they made that joke.
I had to look it up.
2005?
Still works, I guess.
Yeah.
And this woman, this really cracked me up. 2005. Still works, I guess. Yeah. And this woman, this really cracked me up. So this, not even actress, but the
person playing the angry woman, her name is Terry Press. She was the head of DreamWorks
at the time. And in a meeting, I guess she was like such a bitch that Wes Craven was
like, Hey, do you want to play this angry, angry lady in the movie?
He's like, you'd be perfect for it.
Oh my God.
And she was like, yeah.
She agreed to it.
Well, she has a good sense of humor about herself, obviously.
It really made me laugh.
Or she just really wanted to be in a movie.
Yeah, that too.
Like, hey, you're actually, I'm having a thought here.
Hey, you suck. Do you want to play a character who really sucks also?
And also the woman playing this character is from Glee. Did you recognize her from anything?
Cynthia? Yeah, Cynthia. No. She's, oh, okay. She was a recurring character in Glee. She's the one that has huge eyes, huge eyes and a tiny little mouth.
Okay, so Cynthia is on the phone with Lisa.
Lisa is defusing the situation.
She is a seasoned customer service pro.
She says, guides her through what to do. They fix it. I don't know. I don't
know how she does it, but she's incredible. And she appeases them. The tailors are happy,
still annoyed with Cynthia, but they're like, thank God for Lisa. She's so great. And so
they go off to their room and Cynthia says to Lisa like, God, they were real assholes.
And Lisa says, there are no guests that are assholes.
So only guests with special needs.
So we're really not turning this customer service mindset off.
Wow.
She is in the backseat of a taxi, by the way.
Lisa is on her way to the airport.
She has been out of town for her grandmother's funeral
and is taking the red-eye back to Miami.
And the cab driver, it's raining stormy,
and cab driver is like, oh, we're almost there.
You'll be fine.
We have another, like your flight doesn't leave for another.
And she goes 10 minutes.
She's-
Right, that threw me.
It's like, okay.
If you-
So you've already missed it.
You missed it.
They closed the door 15 minutes before.
Boarding is not-
You're still in the cab, girl.
You gotta go through security.
You're absolutely not gonna make it.
In 2005, we knew how airports work.
This is post-9-11 too. So this is, we're taking shoes off. We are putting our liquids in a
bag. We are...
That feels like a line that we should like, maybe if it had been like 30 minutes, we'd
sort of been like, oh, okay, maybe she possibly could.
The 10 is absolutely not happening.
It's not gonna work.
Not happening.
Well, so I'm immediately out of it.
It should be right out of the movie.
Well, and I just had my 14 minute layover.
That's in the airport already
without having to go through security.
And I was like-
And sometimes they won't let you do that.
And I was freaking out for 14 minutes
without having to do anything
other than get from
one gate to another.
As you said, they close the gate 15 minutes prior. So 14 minutes is one minute too few.
Yep. So as she gets the airport, she's rushing and she gets a call from her dad, Brian Cox,
who has brown hair in this.
The brownest hair.
Reddish brown hair, yeah.
The brownest hair I've ever seen.
Oh my god.
I didn't think he'd ever had any hair color other than white a day in his life.
I know.
He looks young.
This was 20 years ago.
It was 20 years ago.
You must stop. Dare I say hot ago. Stop it, you must stop.
Dare I say Hot Dad Alert.
Wait, you missed, I think the very first thing we see in this film is a short little clip.
Were you going to not say this for a reason?
No, no, say it.
Say it.
The very first thing we see is Brian Cox coming home, dropping his keys in his wallet in front
of a variety of photos of Rachel McAdams face.
So many photos.
Photoshopped onto children's bodies.
It's very funny.
And then you see a gloved hand sneak out
and grab his wallet, which has a JR on it.
So that's the first thing you see before the Rachel McAdams stuff.
Yeah, okay. Keep going.
And because yeah, there he's remodeling the house. So everything's all over the place. It's a bit
of a mess, but he hasn't touched her room. We get a look at her room. It's pink stuffed animals
everywhere. It's like in case you ever want to come back for any reason at all.
This is another thing about Rachel McAdams.
Her age reads all over the place because she's acting like she's like a 40 year old woman,
but she looks like she's 25.
But her she's dressing like a 40 year old woman.
It was 20 years ago and she's currently 45.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So she was 25 at the time.
She always has read old like she's one of those women
who's like immediately looked like a grown woman.
Yes.
Yes, yes.
So she gets inside the airport
and now she's mad that her flight is,
it turns out it's delayed because of the rain.
And it's, I'm. Lisa, come on.
Phew.
This is a huge relief.
Someone who works in logistics,
you would think you'd be all over this.
Because there's a long line for check-in and she's all annoyed.
Like, I can't believe it's so delayed.
And it's like you were...
This is an absolute blessing for you.
So she's in the check-in line.
And the woman in front of her sees that she's reading a
Dr. Phil book and she says, I love him.
He's so handsome.
The Dr. Phil subplot in this is also throws me.
There's a couple pretty thin subplots in here that are a little random feeling.
But on the phone we had heard that her dad gave her this book.
His personality seems to be a little, not overbearing, but just concerned about her,
worried about her.
Even when she's saying, I'm fine, he's like, are you sure you're fine?
Are you sure?
Did you read the book I gave you?
Do you need a ride home from the airport?
I can come pick you up when you get here.
She says, no, I'm taking the red-eye.
It's going to be late. Is there like to land at 5 home from the airport? I can come pick you up when you get here." She says, now I'm taking the red eye. It's going to be late.
Is there like to land at 530 in the morning?
Like, no, I don't need a ride.
It's fine.
So this woman is eyeing her Dr. Phil book and she just gives it to her.
She says, you know what?
Take it.
She can't turn this hospitality mindset off.
People pleasing left and right. And we see a very handsome stranger
in line behind her with piercing blue eyes. And someone in front of the line is yelling
at one of the people working there like, come on, we've been waiting for however long and being
a real asshole. And she's trying to defuse it saying, sir, we're all stressed. She's
obviously stressed. They're doing the best they can. And he kind of brushes past her
and is not really taking her seriously. And so this stranger behind her also says to the guy,
come on, man, give her a break.
And he grabs his arm a little harder than seems necessary.
And the guy seems a little shocked by how hard
he's grabbing him.
But Lisa doesn't see this.
But just our first little hint of something scary
by this blue-eyed stranger.
Also, I think Kayleigh Murphy's American accent is quite good.
What do you think?
Yeah, I didn't even think about it.
It was very natural to me.
Yeah.
So they strike up a conversation in the line
after this incident.
And I don't know, they basically just
realize they're on the same flight and not too much
information is exchanged, but they are two extremely attractive people. So there's
a little spark and as she gets called up to be he says, no, of course not. Of course,
that was silly of me to say, but you can't, you can't save seats on an airplane. I just
don't know.
I think he was referring to the fact that he was going to go eat food. Didn't they make
a comment? I think he made a comment that he was going to go to the restaurant.
OK, that's OK. Yeah.
And then he said, save you a seat at the restaurant,
because then she sees him at the restaurant. You're absolutely right.
So, yes, he says that there's like a good place right by their gate.
And she's hesitant about it.
And so he's like, you know, whatever you
have a good day, have a good flight, the same flight that
we're both on.
So they part ways for a little bit.
We see there's a little girl that's unattended flying on her own for the very first time.
She's what?
Probably 10 ish.
Yes.
That acting was very funny.
Her mom literally barely even looking at her clearly looking to see like this actress like
wants to know where the camera is.
She's like, looking around like who's where's the camera? She's like
she's like you're going to be okay, right, sweetie? Like looking everywhere except at
her daughter and also in such a like lady does this lady know how to act?
I did read that there's another executive that a bad mom. I did see that there were a lot of cameos in this movie from the crew.
And so it very well might have been like the makeup artist or something, because I believe
Wes Craven is in it.
I might be getting this mixed up with Prince of Darkness.
This is what happens when we record two in a day. But regardless, this lady is not great at acting.
And someone spills a drink all over Lisa.
She goes to the bathroom to clean herself up.
And we see, she takes her whole shirt off
when she's cleaning in the bathroom.
She's interesting.
She's patting herself down with paper towels.
And we see a scar just above
her breast. Don't know what that is. May never know what that is. Henley, do you know what
it is?
I do know what it is. I do know what it is.
She comes out of the bathroom and she heads over to the restaurant by the gate and sure
enough there is the blue eyed stranger with an empty
seat next to him and she goes and sits down next to him and he looks...
I mean who wouldn't?
Yeah, I mean come on.
He looks happy to see her again, offers to buy her drinks as she says, no, no, I'm okay
and he says, if I can guess your drink, can I buy it? Can I buy your drink? And she says, no, no, I'm okay. And he says, if I can guess your drink, can I buy it?
Can I buy your drink?
And she says, oh, okay.
He says, I think I'm getting vodka,
something with a little bit of sweetness, maybe a Cosmo.
No, not Cosmo, maybe a screwdriver.
No, that's too plain or something.
And then he says, maybe a sea breeze. And I had never heard
of sea breeze. Me either. Did you look it up? What is a sea breeze? It's vodka, cranberry
and grapefruit. Oh, okay. That's nice. And she turns to the bartender and says, could
I get a Bay Breeze? And gives him a look of like, pretty close,
like he almost got it.
Baibries is vodka, cranberry, and pineapple.
So I hadn't heard of either of these two drinks.
And I would not feel confident ordering them at a bar.
Me either.
But they're acting like these are-
Certainly not at an airport bar.
Yeah, they're acting like these are pretty normal drinks.
And you know, maybe they are.
Maybe in 2005, everybody was having them.
I could see that.
Maybe it's time for a resurgence.
I could get a C-Pres.
The Cosmo's having a resurgence.
True, because of Taylor Swift.
So-
Everything's because of Taylor Swift.
God, I know, I'm getting a little sick of it,
to be honest with you,
but I don't want the Swifties to come for me.
So.
I love it.
I love it.
I love it.
So they're chatting a little more now, flirting.
And he introduces himself.
His name is Jackson.
She asks, do you ever go by Jack?
And he says, no, because my last name is Ripner.
So Jack Ripner, Jack the Ripper, not a great, you know, look, we don't want
to go by that. And she says, that wasn't very nice of your parents. And he says, that's
what I told them before I killed them.
Oh, first red flag.
Funny joke.
Yeah, I still don't I don't like that as a joke from a stranger. No, no, and you shouldn't. And she reveals that she had been
in Texas for her grandmother's funeral because her middle name is Henrietta. That's her grandmother.
What's her grandmother's name? And they've finished their drinks and their flight is finally ready for boarding.
Hallelujah.
They get up and Jackson gets a phone call as they're saying their goodbyes.
This would be the moment of exchanging a phone number if that was going to happen.
But he gets this phone call and he says, I'm so sorry, I have to take this.
It was so nice meeting you.
He says, it was nice to meet you too.
And he walks away.
I wrote, if Killian Murphy bought me a drink
and we talked for 20 minutes and he didn't ask for my number,
I would kill myself.
Yeah, it was played very awkwardly.
It was well done.
But Killian Murphy's haircut in this was just distracting me the
entire movie because it's I know he's supposed to be kind of creepy and the haircut works in that
way where it's like just normal enough to be normal. Like you don't really think twice about
it necessarily. But man, it looks he looks so creepy. The second he turns it on, it's so straight and long.
It's like a full bull cut.
Oh yeah, it is so straight and long.
It's so straight and long and almost in his eyes.
And it's like-
Her hair is pretty funny also.
Her hair is also funny.
Well, to be fair, her hair gets worse and worse
throughout the plane ride.
Okay, her hair is really funny in the pictures I'm seeing.
It looks as if someone put a bull also on her head
and then only curled the parts under the bull.
Yes, yes.
Only the ends that stuck out from the bull got curled.
Yes.
And the rest is straight and flat to the head.
His hair is just so long in this film.
It was distracting me the entire time.
The straight hair is really interesting.
I don't know that I've ever seen him with straight hair.
It didn't bother me.
Didn't bother you.
I don't know.
I agree, but I have to say he was weird enough in that interaction that I feel like the whole
time I was just like, I think it's okay, Rachel.
I think you'll be okay.
Yeah.
Well, will she?
Will she?
Will she?
Will she?
Will she?
Will she?
So they're boarding, getting on the plane.
She's looking for her seat.
They're flying out of, I believe, Dallas-Fort Worth, which I had just looked up recently
at the biggest airports and Dallas-Fort Worth is one of them.
It's a big one.
It's a really big one.
They're also doing that thing on like they do in Lost or Final Destination.
Like anytime you're getting on a plane and it's about to be about the plane, like passengers,
the plane people.
So you're getting little, you know, we get a shot of the like two teenage boys who are
there who are like doodling and we get a shot of the, you know, the little girl who's getting
on by herself.
We get a shot of the Stordices.
Stordices?
Is that what you call them?
Is that what you call them?
Stuart Eye.
Stuart Eye?
So we're getting to know the characters on the plane a little bit. The Stored Eyes specifically.
Yep.
Yep.
There's one shot of a man just shoveling chow mein noodles into his mouth with like a bib
tucked into his shirt.
That was pretty funny.
Look and I have definitely shoveled noodles into my mouth before, but it's not the word
you want to hear.
Oh no, on an airplane?
Had you done it on an airplane?
I just feel like I'm always-
I don't think I've shoveled noodles on an airplane.
It's really rude to bring really smelly food on an airplane.
I get so self-conscious eating on an airplane.
Anything on a plane.
That is not them, that they haven't served to me
because then it's like, well, I didn't pick it.
You know, this is-
Yeah, it's not my fault.
This is what they're serving us.
But if you bring anything,
I recently brought a chicken salad sandwich
and I know that that is a little too stinky.
No, I don't think so.
I don't think that's, I think any cold food,
I think is like pretty doable.
Any like deli sandwich is fine.
As soon as someone brings like McDonald's on though,
and it's like the everything smells like french fries
or like.
I could do some french fries right now though. They're good.
I'm not saying I wouldn't want to eat french fries.
I just don't want to like sit in a plane that smells like french fries.
Did I tell you guys about the flight that Joel and I took to Iowa? Um, in fact,
it was, it was, we had a layover in Dallas, Fort Worth.
And do you always do that's the place for layovers.
And right before we were getting up, we had just landed but hadn't gone to our gate yet.
And a guy gets up and starts screaming at the row behind. It was honestly terrifying.
And we learned that it was because a woman had brought her cat onto the plane. Did I
tell you guys?
Oh, you did?
Yeah, yeah.
A woman had brought her cat onto the plane. and I think this woman was not doing a great job with this cat. Um,
the cat had taken a shit at some point in the air and she hadn't done anything about
it. And so the people near her were just like smelling cat shit for like two hours and it,
it, it made them all lose their minds. Like it turned into like two rows of people on the plane,
like screaming at each other.
And several people had to be taken off by security
before the rest of us could deep plane over this cat.
Wow.
And meanwhile, they're screaming at each other
and we're just hearing this cat meowing.
And it was honestly so funny and so bizarre.
And like, yeah, this poor cat.
It was a really well, I've never experienced anything like it.
It was so like talk about something that you're smelling the whole flight.
I mean, that would be very bad.
Do you think she didn't deal with it because she couldn't take the cat out of the carrier?
Yeah, you know, I don't know.
You know what I mean? Yeah, I think it would be difficult.
Joel and I really talked a lot about
this afterwards. Like, what would we
do? And I think it comes down to
preparing beforehand.
I think you
maybe don't feed your cat for a while
and you also think you give
them some sedatives so that they're
chill.
I mean, I think you try at all costs
to not bring a cat onto a plane.
But if if one must, you do those
things. And then I think you line the carrier with pee pads, you know?
And you bring extra pee pads and you bring cat butt webs, which yes they do make.
And if your cat goes to the bathroom, which it very well might, you immediately, and you
bring your own little plastic poopy bags, you know?
And you just like take it out.
Yeah.
You immediately take your cat and the carrier into the bathroom.
You toss that pee pad, you replace it, you put it in a little plastic bag, you put it
in the trash can.
Like you get, you gotta be ready for any potential mess that could come about.
Because also that cat had to sit in that carrier with its own shit for like two hours.
Yeah. Which feels really unkind. that cat had to sit in that carrier with its own shit for like two hours. Yeah, not nice.
Which feels really unkind.
I mean, you know, flying with my cats
is like my worst nightmare.
I really hope I never have to do it.
I mean, it would be so awful.
It would be so awful,
but I really don't think this cat owner handled herself well.
And it's no excuse for a grown ass man
to stand up and scream at her on plane.
That's completely insane.
But it was a really wild time.
Anyway, one of the craziest plane experiences I've ever had.
Yeah, that sounds like a pretty wild one.
So does that happen?
Does that happen here?
Is that what makes him so mad and bad that he is a killer?
There are about to be so many cats in this film.
You have no idea.
Cats on a Plane is a film I would love to see.
That's actually hilarious.
Me too.
So she's looking for her spot, looking for her seat,
moving towards the back of the plane.
And wouldn't you know it, her seat
is directly next to Killian Murphy.
Wow.
He plays it real cool.
She points to the inside, the window seat.
He's got the aisle.
It's just a two seater row.
Uh-oh.
She says, that's my seat.
He says, you're joking.
She shows him her ticket.
He's like, you're not joking.
And they kind of laugh about it.
This is such a huge coincidence.
So weird.
He says, you're not stalking me, are you?
They have another good laugh. Ha ha ha. No, of course not. There's a horny lady that keeps
asking him to help her with her bags and we get it. I would do the same.
And we all get it. We're all that lady. We're all that lady. And she's like, you are hot.
Rachel McAdams keeps being like, yeah, no, you are hot.
That's the face she keeps giving him.
Yeah.
And he gets a phone call and says,
so it's definitely happening.
OK, OK, great.
Hangs up.
That's his last phone call.
We got to turn cell phones off now. Airplane doors close. Heres up. That's his last phone call. We got to turn cell phones off now.
Airplane doors close. Here we go.
Get ready for takeoff.
Going to be pretty a pretty turbulent flight.
Hmm. During takeoff, it is indeed extremely turbulent.
I would be very scared on this flight.
This is the hydraulics are really boosted on this plane.
And he sees that she's nervous.
So he's asking her about her dad.
She's telling him, I don't know, just about him remodeling the house or whatever, just
menial things to get her mind off of the turbulence.
And then it mellows out a bit. She says, thanks for
distracting me. He says, no problem. It's my job. She says, oh, what is your job? He's pretty weird
about it. He says, oh, overthrowing governments, assassinations, the usual. And she thinks it's
kind of a joke and is like, oh, so you're a spy. I should have guessed.
He says, no, you're a hit man.
No, I'm a lousy shot CIA.
Couldn't tell you if I was.
And just won't tell her what his job is.
And she's like, now getting a little weirded out.
And she's like, okay, well, yeah, I guess your job is your business.
And he says, yeah, usually you'd be right. But actually, today, my business is all about you.
And here we go. We get right into it.
We're in the air now, so there's nowhere else to go. So it seems like this is what he was waiting for.
Just for there to be no way to turn back.
Somewhere in here, we are in the airport.
We had seen a news report about Charles Keefe, the
someone in the Department of Security.
Or what was his title? Do you remember Henley?
I think he's like head of Homeland Security.
Yeah. And he's going to be in Miami and staying at the hotel. They don't say this on the news,
but we find out he's going to be staying at the hotel that Rachel McAdams works at. And
so now we hear Jackson revealing to her, she's saying, what?
Your business is all about me.
What are you talking about?
He says, you know, Charles Keefe, one of your VIP members.
She says, I don't know what you're talking about.
He says, I know that you do.
And this is what that is about.
And if you want your dad to live,
you'll start listening to what I'm saying.
She presses the call attendant button,
call that flight attendant.
And he says, OK, you want to do it this way,
slaps down her dad's wallet in front of her
with the JR initials, which happened
to also be his initials.
And all of his IDs and everything are in there.
But he tells her, I got this from your dad's house.
There's people stationed at your dad's house.
And if what needs to happen doesn't happen, he will die.
If you try to tell the flight attendant right now, I'll tell her an inebriated woman
I never met whose family member just died is acting crazy next to me or something.
And this is my wallet with all of my stuff in it.
Like, I don't know what you're talking about.
They're not going to believe you.
And so the flight attendant comes over.
Rachel McAdams is now crying and she says, like, can I help you?
Is everything OK?
Kelly Murphy turns on the charm.
Oh, she's just had a really rough day, a death in the family.
Flight attendants, oh, my God, I'm so sorry.
I'll get you some water and some tissues.
And she leaves.
Rachel McAdams is
trying to piece together what she should do.
He tells her, I need you to call the hotel and move Keith to this room.
That's all you gotta do.
You just gotta make a call to the front desk.
There's the little like pay phones in the back of the seat.
Like you pay your little credit card, you can make a call.
You just gotta call the front desk
and move him to room 4080.
That's it. And then your dad can live.
So Lisa says, first, like, how do I know my dad's not already dead? How do I know you didn't kill my
dad already? And so they, he agrees that they can call her dad first so she can get confirmation
that he's okay. They do that.
Killian immediately like hangs up the phone once she's heard his voice.
So just cuts off.
Basically she just gets enough of the conversation to hear that he's alive and
completely clueless to that. No one's in the house with him. He's just like,
Hey, are you, are you landed already? She's like, no, no,
I'm still on the plane.
Click hangs up. So.
Hmm. Now, once again, the horny lady needs something from her bag.
That's in the overhead overhead bin.
Asks Killian for his help.
He looks at Rachel McAdams says, don't get cute.
Puts Rachel McAdams purse up in the overhead bin
and goes to help this woman.
Well, it's nearby, he's keeping an eye on her.
She's not like by herself.
But then the Dr. Phil woman comes up to her seat,
she's seated nearby and she hands her the book with a pen
and says, why don't you write your address in the book?
I'll send it back to you when I'm done with it.
Like, it's so nice of you to lend it to me.
I'd love to be able to give it back to you.
Rachel McAdams sees an opportunity here,
says, okay, yes, yes, hand me the book and that pen.
And we see her writing something.
We see Killian Murphy seeing this and the woman goes back to her seat with the Dr. Phil
book with something written in it.
And Killian Murphy comes and sits back down and says, you know, I didn't want this to
get complicated.
Rachel McAdams is playing dumb.
I don't know what you're talking about.
He says, I have to assume she's going to read that.
She says, read what?
And he fucking head butts her so hard that it knocks her out,
and his head starts bleeding.
It's a real wild head butt.
I had to rewind it because I looked away for a second.
I was like, what the fuck just happened?
Because I didn't see the actual thing.
I just saw her passed out and him with his head bleeding.
And the trivia said that this was, they were like pretty stressed to do this shot.
They did a lot of rehearsal for it because it's like if anything goes wrong, then both
of your lead actors are concussed.
So it looks real.
It looks real.
It looks real.
It looks real. And then he puts a little pillow under her head so it looks like she's just sleeping
and he wipes that blood away from his head.
He's fine.
Yep.
Puts his charming smile back on.
So some time passes.
We had another little patch of turbulence which wakes her back up.
He says, it's been a half an hour.
You still haven't made the call.
You need to make the call right now.
So they dial the hotel.
Cynthia answers.
She's talking to her.
She says, I need you to move Keefe's room.
And Cynthia's once again, very flustered by this.
Like, what?
We have the room already and he's almost here and there's so much to do.
Like I'll need to move everything.
But then the line goes dead.
There's a temporary service interruption on the phones.
And the phone is on her ear on the opposite side of Killian Murphy.
So he can't see the phone.
So she just continues talking as if there is no interruption.
Smart.
And follows through with all the rest of the instructions.
We have room 4080.
Yes, thank you, thank you.
But then Killian sees someone on the phone next to him across the aisle,
sees the service interruption as he's like banging the phone like, what the heck, the phone's not
working. Snatches the phone out of Rachel McAdams hand and gets angry with her. Nice fucking try.
Are you trying to get your dad killed?
Like, how many times do I need to explain this to you?
If this doesn't happen, your dad's going to die.
So I don't know why you're trying to be,
like what you're trying to do here.
Mm.
She says, since there's a service interruption,
we got to wait for the phones to come back online.
She says, what if they don't?
He says, then you're burying your dad, basically.
So you better freaking hope they come back on.
Oh yeah, he says, you're burying him in a closed casket.
And I was like, what the fuck?
Seems unnecessary.
Gonna shoot him in the face, I guess. Yeah? Seems unnecessary. Like, come on, man. I'm going to shoot him in the face, I guess.
Yeah, seems unnecessary.
So she says, I need to use the bathroom.
He says, OK, I trust you.
She says, with my purse.
It's like, I don't trust you that much.
It's so funny.
It's like, why does he trust her all of a sudden?
But OK, that's fine. No, she's got a bathroom.
Yep. So she goes to the bathroom and there's the little unattended girls behind her in line.
And she goes into the stall, she's like burst into tears. She's panicking a bit,
She's panicking a bit, trying to think of something to do. When she has a light bulb idea, but she's taken long enough that Killian Murphy's suspicious
again and when she opens the door to come out of the bathroom, he's standing right there.
He looks in and sees that she has written 18F has a bomb on the mirror in soapy, soap essentially.
Yep, soap.
And pretty smart idea.
But he shoves her back in the bathroom,
closes the door behind them, like grabs her up,
like throws her up against the walls, strangling her.
And I guess in the first take of this,
he hit her head and she got knocked unconscious. And so the take that's in the movie, you can see that his hand is behind
her head that he's like making sure her head doesn't actually hit the window. He was like
mortified that it happened. And, and yeah, so yeah, that would suck. You can see that.
He's protecting her little head actually in the shot.
He's basically, again, saying like,
you're fucking on my last nerve right now.
Your dad's going to die.
I don't know why you're not getting this.
And he notices the scar on her boob.
Well, he like pulls down her shirt just right there
in a weird way. Did that feel weird to you, Henley? Like, why are we?
All of the scar stuff clearly was forced. I mean, the like, it's really hard where it's like the
woman runs into her and gets coffee all over her. And then she has to go and take her entire shirt
off. All of that. It's just like, was this put in last minute? You guys like added this last minute.
Was this put in last minute? You guys like added this last minute.
Yeah. And he sees the scar.
He had said something to her earlier in the plane.
Where he's trying to figure out why she's so closed off.
I think this this subplot is really paper thin.
It's really hard to.
Hard to glean anything of meaning from it. But he's basically like, something happened to you to make you this way. And then once
he sees the scar, he's like, was it your parents divorce? And then once he sees this scar,
he's like, is this why you are the way you are? Which I don't know what he's talking
about.
She does later. She does later explain the scar.
She does explain the scar.
Yeah, but not in a way that felt that satisfying to me,
I guess.
We'll get there.
We'll get there.
But she says, no, the scar, nope.
She says, did somebody give you that?
She says, nope, nope.
And he says, I feel like you're, you know what I think? I think you're not an honest person
because I followed you for eight fucking weeks and you never once ordered anything other than a sea
breeze. Okay. Killian, he means business. In rewatching it. I did kind of like this detail.
I rewatched it and the moment where she orders the Bay Breeze instead of the Sea Breeze.
Well, you can see that he's annoyed by it, but you can see also when she takes a sip
of it, she's like a little grossed out by it.
She's like, he's like, does it taste okay?
And she's like, yeah, yeah, it's fine.
But so she intentionally didn't order her drink because he didn't, she didn't want
him to think he knew her.
I do kind of think that's a fun little detail.
They come out of the stall and he basically just threatens her like, okay, this is your
last chance.
This is you got to do this.
And the flight attendants see both of them coming out and say, Hey, this isn't a
motel.
And he winks.
He winks.
Yeah.
He's given them the old charm, the old Jack the Ripper charm, Jackson Ripner.
And the little girl also said to that she's the one that pointed out to them.
She's like, Hey, a man went in there.
She like can tell something bad is going on.
Yeah. Hey, a man went in there. She like can tell something bad is going on.
Yeah, the little girl is really taking this all in, in a way that I was trying to imagine.
If I was 10 years old, I would not be able to pick up on any of this.
Probably not.
No.
But she's getting a sense that something is a little amiss here.
And so we get back to the seat and she finally makes that call.
The phones are back online.
We call Cynthia, tell her to move Keef, Charles Keef to room 4080, say that I approved it,
say it's for security reasons or whatever and
Does it does it Cynthia says okay, I can I can get it done. I'll do it and hang up
Killian says okay, that's great
Wasn't so hard and I can't remember how but somewhere right here. We realize she says something like
you're gonna kill him and
his whole family's with him. And Killian makes a face like he doesn't give a shit. And so she realizes he's going to kill their
his whole family. He has like two young kids and his wife. So she's now extra horrified
that she has just put in this call. We see Keith arriving at the hotel with his security team and finding out that his room
has been changed.
Last minute the security team says, you know, no, no, no, this is no good.
But Keith, once he hears that Lisa is the one that approved this, he says, I know her,
I know Lisa, I know Lisa, it's fine.
It's so silly.
It's fine. It's so silly.
It's very funny. And there's no way his security team would be like, all right.
I think so. It's fine.
He said it's oh, the hotel.
The hotel manager said it's OK.
Then Mr. Homeland Security, you can stay wherever she wants.
The hotel manager that's not here and none of us even saw that conversation.
And no. No.
Yeah.
So, but they say they're going to sweep the room.
They're going to do a security check, say, okay, yeah, get it done.
We see that there is a fishing boat outside of the hotel.
So they're up on a higher floor looking out into the ocean and there's a fishing boat in the vicinity.
That's the only thing on the water.
So they're saying, OK, we're going
to have to go out and do a check on that fishing boat as well.
Where the plane is descending, we're arriving in Miami.
Somewhere we see that Rachel McAdams has gotten the pen of one of the teenagers
that were doodling earlier.
And she's holding it to her side out of his sight in the seat.
And this is where she tells him about the scar.
Someone did give her the scar.
Henley, you tell it because I don't know why I just was like, what?
So she's holding the pen and this is when her whole demeanor has shifted.
She's stopped asking questions.
She's not actually a customer service lady anymore.
She's ready to battle.
And so she says to him, pretty upsetting story,
which is two years ago in broad daylight, someone,
he attacked me in a parking lot.
And the whole time, he held a knife to my throat.
And for the past two years,
I've been trying to convince myself only one thing
over and over again.
She leaves a dramatic pause,
just tried to convince myself of one thing.
And he fills the pause with that it was out of your control and she says
that it would never happen again right as the fasten seatbelts light goes off
because they've landed so everyone gets up so there's this noise and commotion
covering their actions now and she stabs him right in the throat with that pen.
Real hard. Really hard. Yes. You would have to go hard with a pen. Mm-hmm. And she does and she
jumps up and jumps over him and books it to the front of the plane and he's like
falling out of his seat, climbing. the horny lady sees him with the pen sticking
out of his throat, screams.
All the flight attendants are saying, what do you get?
A doctor, you're like, sir, stay seated.
We need to get you medical attention as she's running to the front and she's out running
basically the line of communication that an incident has just happened.
So it's kind of making its way across the plane.
People are being like, oh, something's happening back there.
And they're about to say, like, we need to keep the door closed because something's going
on.
But she makes it to the front of the plane in time and is able to get off the plane and
she just runs and sprints through the airport. There's a long like chase the
because she's she changes she immediately gets out of her shirt. She has an undershirt
on changes her appearance, sits down with random ladies at a restaurant and asks them
questions to like blend into the crowd. It's a pretty I feel like effective little chase
sequence. Very quickly she gets a Nokia phone that she's trying to power on so she can call
her dad. She's also doesn't take her shoes off the whole time. One of those annoying
things that happens in movies. She's wearing full stiletto heels. No. You take those off.
You can't sprint in those.
And you know what, Emily?
I think she took his phone.
Oh, I thought she took his gun.
How would he have a gun on a plane?
No, I don't think he had a gun.
Yeah, I think she took his phone.
Wait, am I thinking of something else?
Why do I feel like he had a gun that she took?
There is a gun later, but it's not his gun.
I think that she...
Okay, maybe I'm thinking of something else. I thought that she grabbed something from
him, but you're right. The gun, he would have shown her the gun earlier, but why do I feel
like she took his gun? I don't know. They really check for guns in airports.
I know, I know. I know. I know.
In 2005 there especially. They didn't really check it. I know, I know, I know. So he is also trying to make his way off this plane.
Everyone's trying to stop him.
You need medical attention.
He grabs this little scarf from the horny lady and uses it to wrap around his throat.
So now he has this little-
Did he pull the pen out?
Did he? Yeah, I think he did pull the pen out and then he put the scarf on. I think a doctor
says like, oh, you're, oh, it's okay. It's the annoying guy from the beginning. Remember the
annoying guy in the line ends up being the doctor. And then he's like, it's not that bad. It's
actually not that serious. And then as soon as he hears that he like runs away, rips it out,
grabs that scarf, wraps it around.
He's got a funny little kerchief now as he's running through the airport.
We see meanwhile back at the hotel, Keith is checked into his room and we had seen the
security go to the fishing boat and check it and they were clean.
And so now the whole family is standing on the balcony of their room looking out just
like beautiful day family, all four of us all together.
And Rachel McAdams gets, there's like a moment where Keely and Murphy sees her, but she still is able
to get into a car.
Does she steal a car?
She steals a car.
Yeah.
And gets a phone or his phone starts working and is able to call the hotel.
Says Cynthia, you need to get him out of that room.
She's like, I just put him in that room.
What are you talking about?
She says, Cynthia, pull the fire alarm, get everybody out. He's a, I just put him in that room. What are you talking about? She says, Cynthia pulled a fire alarm, get everybody out.
He's a he's a target. Cynthia Keefe is a target, which is a very funny way to explain what's happening.
Yeah, and so Cynthia does she pulls the fire alarm?
and we see the
I guess before she pulls the fire alarm. We have we see the fishing boat reeling up
A big case of weapons.
Pretty clever, I think. Pretty clever.
So they build this fucking like bazooka looking thing.
I really wasn't expecting this.
They have essentially a missile launcher.
But then we pull the fire alarm.
So just in the nick of time, everyone is being evacuated, including Charles Keefe
and his whole family.
But they launched the missile anyways, and it hits the room.
But nobody is hurt.
The room explodes.
So really sort of wasted their shot on that one, I think.
Yeah.
But yeah, nobody is harmed. We got a really good shot of Cynthia standing outside.
Everyone's standing right outside of the blast radius.
You know how that happens?
Where it's like, everyone is just clear of it.
And you see Cynthia look around at the destroyed room.
Those big, big eyes.
Just put her hand to her forehead and just be like, oh, my god.
It's really, really ridiculous.
So now we go back to Rachel McAdams driving like a bat out
of hell to her dad's house.
Got to make sure he's going to be OK.
We see the presumable hitman outside of his house. And she sees him too, as
she's pulling up and she just floors it straight into him
straight into the house.
Yep, straight. Wow, whole thing. Why not? You know what? Why
not? Yeah, she's in battle mode.
She is in battle mode. She there is a part in my notes where I wrote,
she looks like the bride from Kill Bill.
She turns into a fully different person here.
So now her dad walks downstairs.
What is going on?
She hugs him.
Oh, thank god you're OK, dad.
Call the police.
He said, I already called them when I heard the crash.
So dad walks into the other room.
She's like, I got to call the hotel,
make sure everything's OK.
She calls Cynthia.
Yep, everyone's fine.
Crisis averted.
Phew.
She walks.
She says, dad, I need to go back to the hotel.
Doesn't hear any response, walks into the hallway and who's there?
But Killian Murphy.
God damn it.
And he is very, very funny voice now goes,
Hi.
It's almost like, who's the like mob boss that talks like this?
Like there's like a in the Godfather.
I was thinking the Godfather.
I've never seen the Godfather.
How dare you come to my come to my house.
My daughter's wedding.
Is it Marlon Brando?
Marlon Brando, yeah.
Okay, never seen the Godfather, but.
People are gonna lose their shit hearing you say that.
I know, it's like one of those ones that's such a big one
that I'm never, I just.
You can't now.
Yeah, it feels like I can't and it also is like,
I'm never in the mood to put on the fucking Godfather,
you know?
I mean, people are maybe gonna be mad to hear this.
I don't really like mob movies in general.
Like, I don't like Scarface.
I think that's fine.
I don't like, I don't even really like
The Departed that much.
It just is like, not my genre.
Yeah, I think it's fine.
I will watch it one day, don't worry.
But we basically just recreated it for you,
I feel like we sort of just nailed it. Oh, that was the whole thing. That's all I need to know. I have to
say I probably would never have seen any of the Godfathers if it wasn't for Tim forcing
me to. Yeah. That sounds like probably many women in relationships have that same experience. You just need, as Barbie explicitly says, you just need a straight man to force you
to sit you down and explain the Godfather to you.
And she asks where her dad is and he says, don't worry, he's alive.
I wanted him to see what I'm going to do to you first.
The voice is so silly that the sinisterness of this is like completely evaporates.
It's just, it's, it's just laughing.
What about you Henley?
At this point I was like, let's get this show on the goddamn road.
Like I knew Killian Murphy was going to be in the house.
Like what were you thinking?
Yeah. Killian Murphy was going to be in the house. Like what were you thinking? And you thinking he wasn't going to- Which is funny considering it's what an hour 20
and you're like, can we pick up the pace here?
A little bit because I'm like,
we all knew he was going to be here.
Like just don't, like don't let your guard down
for a goddamn second Rachel McAdams.
Yeah, let's get to it.
You're in battle mode right now.
Truly, this man told you he'd been following you
for eight weeks.
You think that this guy you drove over
is your only obstacle?
These people were prepared.
This was a team of people prepared to blow up a political figure.
I think we still need to be concerned.
Absolutely.
Yep.
She's fighting now, Killian Murphy.
Yep.
Her dad's unconscious.
There's a long game of cat and mouse.
This is this will remind you this house is under construction.
So there's just a lot of I don't know, winding hallways, rooms, unfinished rooms.
She's running through different corridors.
I think the other thing I was feeling weirdly disappointed about at this point in the movie
was that I realized at this point in the movie that Brian Cox was just the dad. The whole movie
was holding out hope that Brian Cox had some greater role in all of this. And no, he's
just the dad.
Just the dad. Kind of just in a handful of scenes.
Yes. in just in a handful of scenes. Yes, yes. And so this culminates in Killian throwing her
down the stairs.
We know the cops are coming because Brian Cox called them
before immediately.
And so this fight has gone on long enough
that I think we're hearing almost
hearing sirens. She's thrown down the stairs and it looks like he's got the upper hand and he's
got a big knife and he's about to stab her when she grabs a gun from the guy that she ran into the
house. That's what I was thinking. Yeah, that's where the gun comes from. She sees it on him, grabs it off him, his dead body,
and shoots, killing in the stomach.
And we're hearing sirens coming,
and he launches himself at her one more time with the knife.
Like he's still gonna kill her, but then we hear,
hey, Brian Cox delivers that final blow, shoots him again. Brian Cox
got his own gun and shoots him in the chest and probably kills him. Does it show him dead?
Oh, he's dead. I don't know. I assumed he was dead. I didn't really have a second thought
about that actually.
Yeah. It's just because it's not a shot in the heart. It's like also a shot that looks
like survivable. So I thought it was interesting that they chose that place to put the squib
if there was supposed to be certainty about it. But we can assume he's dead.
And the-
Maybe they were leaving it open for a red eye too
in case they had to.
Exactly.
Now's the time.
It's back in the zeitgeist.
It'd be very funny if he did a red eye too
after being like, it's bad.
And so the cops come, everything is over finally.
And so the cops come, everything is over finally.
So Cynthia, or excuse me, Lisa goes back to the hotel to check on Cynthia, hugs her, you did such a good job.
That was such a big night.
Cynthia says something like,
all in all a pretty good night
other than that one incident, which is pretty funny.
Keefe comes down to thank them, says, you guys saved me.
A job well done.
My god, the customer service here is good.
Hi.
And then the angry couple from the beginning, a man and the woman that is the head of Dreamworks
at the time, come and they see Lisa and they're like, Lisa, thank God you're here.
We had the most horrible experience.
First she couldn't find our reservation.
Then our roof exploded.
Oh boy.
And Lisa's doing her best to calm them down saying I'm so sorry,
like is there anything we can do to make your experience better? And she says, well, first
of all, first of all, you need to clean house and fire this woman who's so bad at her job
pointing at Cynthia. Like that'll make her feel better. Woman, you just survived an explosion.
Yep.
Yep.
Let's take a beat.
But this finally hits a nerve in Lisa.
Plus she's been through a lot in the past 12 hours.
Let alone she didn't sleep a whole night.
She didn't sleep a wink. And so she
tells her calmly to, she says, why don't you fill out a comment card? The woman is irate
a comment card. You think I'm going to fill out a comment card? Lisa says, yes, I think
you should fill out a comment card. And then I think you should shove it up your ass.
And she grabs Cynthia.
They walk away as this couple is completely gobsmacked that they have been spoken to like
this by Lisa.
Cynthia says Lisa, that was so badass.
You're so cool.
They say, should we go get a drink?
We need a drink after this.
And she said, Lisa says, yep, anything but a Bay Breeze. That's the end of the movie.
Oh my God. Wow. Wow. Okay, Killian, I do see your point.
It's so silly. It's really silly. It's really silly.
I really did not think that that was what
this movie was going to be. What did you think it was? I thought it was going to be more
like her life being threatened. I didn't think there was going to be this whole other-
Assassination plot? Yeah. I really wasn't, I didn't see that coming. I had forgotten.
I mean, like I said, I had seen this movie and I't see that coming. I had forgotten.
I mean, like I said, I had seen this movie and I'd
other than the fact that I knew he was bad and
targeting her in some way.
I didn't remember any of it because it's not it's not.
It's not a super memorable film.
I thought it was going to be more actually disturbing than this.
Is it rated R? Yeah.
No, it's PG-13.
Okay.
All right.
I didn't look at that.
I kind of thought that it was going to be like an upsetting movie in some way, but it
really wasn't.
It really wasn't.
Didn't seem that upsetting.
No.
I mean, there's upsetting parts in terms of he does really creep me out at times.
I mean, I wouldn't like it at all.
No, no, no, no, no.
But yeah, it's...
It's a whole Homeland Security thing
adds a layer of like political thriller to it feeling
like there's the scene of all the black SUVs
like driving up to the hotel and there's, you know, it gives, it's, it's that,
there's that vibe to it as well, which I wasn't expecting.
But man, I love Killian and I have a newfound love
for Rachel McAdams and you know I love Brian Cox.
So.
Yeah. I mean, hey.
I think it's a pretty decent time at the movies.
An hour and 20.
Why the hell not?
Why the hell not?
You could spend an hour and 20 in much worse ways.
It's true.
It's really true.
Um, all right.
Well, that's a really romantic film.
A perfect end to this month of love.
And I gotta say, I feel like I might still be more attracted to Mark Duplass and Creep,
which is...
That makes sense to me. That makes sense.
He's having a lot more fun.
Yeah, I think that's it. I think that's it. I just want someone a little more goofy.
Yeah, he's just having a really good time. And I don't think it doesn't sound like Killian's having a good time at all.
No, no, but he is a gorgeous man.
Yeah, cannot be denied.
And listeners, if you have not seen dog hypnotized
