This is a headgum podcast. This is Emily, Henley, and Sammy. And you're listening to Too Scary Didn't Watch. Hi, everyone. Welcome to Too Scary Didn't Watch, the horror movie recap podcast for those Too Scared to Watch for themselves. I'm Emily and I am too scared to watch scary movies. I'm Henley and I'm also too scared to watch scary movies. I'm Sammy and I love watching scary movies.

And so I watch them so that you don't have to most of the time. That's the case. Will that be the case this week? What if it was? And this was just a weird thing. There's simply no way to know right now. We want to keep you on your toes. But if you want to find out right now, which I completely understand because this is...

We've really built attention. There are timestamps in the show notes because first I need to ask my friends, my co-hosts. Emily and Henley, did anything scary happen to you this week? just real quick I've been having a lot of back pain and like I hold a lot of tension in my neck and shoulders I have a lot of knots this is normal but it's been back pain in like the exact middle of my back which is not normally where I feel back pain so I've been like what happened what did I do I was was that really intense massage you got well no because that was after because I was having the back pain so I was having this back pain and I in my head I was like I went to I protested on

the 30th and I was like maybe I was like it's like like stand I was protesting too hard but I was like I was standing for a while. Maybe I was like being weird. So then I got a massage because of my back pain and it like absolutely made it worse. But he just pushed me way too hard as I talked about in the 28 years later.

Bone Temple episodes. I was like that's probably what it was. Couldn't figure it out. It's like what is this weird back pain? And then the other day, Sammy, for Christmas you gift me a gorgeous puzzle. And I've been really working on it because I'm trying to de-stress

and not be on my screen so much. And also I get really tunnel vision about a puzzle when I have a puzzle to be completed. It is the I can't think about anything else. So I sat down on my floor to do my puzzle as I do. And I mean, it was like, oh. You're like, that's why. Oh, ow, my back hurts. And I fucking hurt my back from doing a puzzle.

And it doesn't make me feel great. Well, this is, this reminds me. Maybe this happens to you guys. I looked it up on Reddit and apparently it is a thing. I similarly get a lot of back pain from folding laundry, which is like, oh, also doesn't make me feel good because it's like 10 minutes of folding things. And I'm like, ow, ow, it really hurts my back. Because it's just like your arms are in front of you at like a weird angle. And it's like, doesn't matter if I sit up straight or it's just like, I don't know, I don't know exactly what it is, but it's just a position we're not used to being in. This is huge. This is huge. This is going to break the conversation about chore sharing chores wide open. It's like which chore causes you physical, bodily harm. Yeah, yeah. Because I feel this way about washing dishes. Like, washing dishes for a while

makes my back hurt. Yeah, because you're standing at the sink. Yeah. With folding laundry, it's like doesn't bother me. And now, and I really think that washing dishes, it's just because I have a weak core. I'm pretty sure. Like I like can't. It all comes back to the core. I mean like, I guess that has to... Across the board for all three of us, that's probably... But that's like a reason I don't like washing dishes is because that makes my back hurt after a while. Yeah. What the hell?

That's why people have those mats under their kitchen sinks that are like, you know, squishy and supportive. I don't have one of those. I have that at my standing desks. I guess I could move it over when I go to dishes. Or when you fold laundry, maybe. Yeah, maybe if I folded laundry standing up that... I'm going to give that and try.

because I actually have a lot of... Yeah, maybe try doing it at your standing desk, pulled laundry at your desk. Wow. That sounds incredibly ergonomic. I'm going to try that. So I'll keep you guys posted. Please do. Please do.

Okay. Scary thing that happened to me this week. I mean, literally it's just what's going on in the world. Pretty usual. I did have a friend text me like, this was like a pretty tough week for me or like for all of us or something. And I was like, why? What happened? I know the Epstein files.

And I was like, oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. I actually, like, we're all just so freaking numb. I was, Joel and I went to dinner the other night and I was like, the thing is, if I, if I let myself begin to actually think about the Epstein Files, I start to feel like a Tim Robinson character and that I'm like, how are we down? What? Like, I'm like, it's a bad.

It's like, it's so, it's actually like the craziest fucking shit ever. And, and we're just like, oh, yeah. Oh, that stuff. That's in there. that's the worst thing you've ever heard. That's true. That's about the president. Yeah, whatever. Like, I'm like, but so it's why I, like, actually, like, can't think about it because it makes me, like, freak out. I know. I'm, I am, like, deep, too deep into it now. Like, I know too much. I've seen too much. I don't like what I've seen. I don't like what I know. I don't know what to do

with it. And, like, it just is true. And it just is true. And we know it. And it's like, what is it was it so poorly handled on purpose or the victims not redacted on purpose like or is that literally just incompetence it just makes your brain spin in a million different directions that are yeah again not helpful for living like day to day life um so I could speak for hours about the Epstein list um Tim has been a main person who is what the listeners want and that's what and that's that's what we'll be doing. Every single night, it's like I, it's almost like I black out and then come to. And Tim is like, you've been talking to me about this for three hours. And he's like, I'm on board. Like, I'm right there with you, but also like maybe we need to stop. And then we'll

be brushing my teeth and I'll be like, one more thing. Just one more thing I'm thinking about. I won't do that to you guys here. I will just say that one actionable thing that I'm doing. So if this inspires anyone else to do it too, great. I'm going to be a poll worker. So I'm going to train to be a poll worker. That's a great idea. I talked to a woman about it this morning and it made me feel like, okay, great. This is like one thing I can do. It's pretty straightforward. It takes, you know, some time you have to do some training and then obviously, you know, you have to work the day of. But it's pretty straightforward. And one thing she was saying is that it's also a really

amazing way to witness what actually happens on election day, like on the day of the elections. You see like the amount of bipartisan support it takes to actually get this done and how much it's a good way to combat a lot of the misinformation that this administration is trying to push, that like fraud is everywhere and that all these people are voting who should not be voting, which is we all know, like, is not true because it's been disproven in the court of law over and over again. However, it does help, I think, to, like, physically witness it and be there and watch the process happen and see, like, yeah, this is, it's nonsense. Anyway, so I'm going to do that, which is making me feel that's, like, one actionable thing, I don't know, just trying to collect the things we can do. Because, honestly, like, Emily, what you're speaking to of turning into a Tim Robinson character, I kind of feel like we have to do that. Like, I have to do that for my own mental health.

Because if I suppress this, if I repress it, push it down and pretend like it doesn't matter, I think it'll actually make me go crazy. So. And like, we should, these things should get a reaction out of us because they are awful and completely insane and we should treat them as such. Yes, yes, which is, oh, my God. I could talk about it for so long. But like, we won't. We won't. We won't. Because the last thing I'll say, the last thing I'll say, one thing about- You have a bonus Epstein-Files episode for the Patreon. I'm sorry. I would say too many things. One thing that is so true about like how power is maintained and perpetuated, especially power that is, you know, white supremacy and whiteness, is so much of that has been taking our like natural reaction, our natural anger towards things that, is like our body knows is wrong.

Our body feels it. And like twisting it, turning it on its head telling you. Oh, it's immigrants that you should be mad at. Well, telling you to silence it. Telling you it's inappropriate to act that way. It's inappropriate to like make a scene. It's inappropriate to yell. It's like dairy.

Pennywise. Turning us all into like people who are like, oh yeah. Penny Ron is among us. Don't look over there. Don't react to that. Actually, keep going. Head down. Yeah.

No, actually it's very powerful metaphor of Stephen King. like unfortunately maybe you can be right about one thing but um but yeah it's this idea that like to have an emotional reaction to something is weakness is really actually helping these like powers that are hurting us stay in place yeah um and i am fucking angry i'm just down you're the firehorse we're so close you guys we're so close to you guys we all are so close. February 17th. It's going to be so annoying all year long.

Yeah, I'll start being annoying. I've never been annoying a day in my life. Here it comes for the first time ever. Everybody get ready for me to be annoying for the very first time. Nobody will have seen it coming. Okay, well, my scary things, I have two things, two things that I'm a real broken record about. So shocker, I'm going to talk about my cats.

And then I'm going to talk about mosquitoes. Okay. And first up, cats, this has happened to me before. But I live in a new place now. And my cats have accidentally peed outside of the litter box, not in a behavioral way, but just because they're big cats and sometimes they're little frigging butts hang over the side of the litter box. So they pee literally like right outside. Litter box adjacent. Yeah.

Yes. They're trying to get it in there. And I had the lid, the covering lid, but one of my cats has asthma and I feel bad making him go into like a little enclosed space with piss and shit. Anyway, so we're trying to figure that out. But I scrub this whole fucking thing. It's in my office. In my office closet is where the litter boxes are. I've cleaned it. I feel like really thoroughly. It's still really smells like cat pee in here and it's driving me crazy. and so I'm going to have to take it all out and clean it all again and it's just like it's just like one of the worst smells in the world cats are so stinky

cats are the stinkiest their poop is also really smelly yeah so stinky but I kind of prefer the poop to the bee prefer the poop to the pee I prefer the poop to the pee like like a the like well because the pee

the pee is just the lingers well it's like it's like cigarette smoke. And it's like burns your nose. It's like it gets into your brain. Like the pee. It's like you choke on it. Gets into your brain and it stays there. Yeah.

Yuck. So that's pretty scary. Wish me luck. I'm right after this going to like get on my freaking hands and knees and scrub everything. And then mosquitoes just a announcement that I got my first mosquito. Bites of 2026. This week, I got one on my face. No. And two on my legs, normal spot. That's where they usually like to go, ankle biters. Face and hands are unforgivable to me. Face was really bad. We were at dinner. And I saw the motherfucker that did it. And I reacted so quickly, instantly killed it.

With the menu. Nice. It's big. This is bigger than the usual. It was like quarter-sized. Are they getting bigger? Well, he lives at a restaurant that gets lots of eaten. Oh, and then the server came and collected our menus. And I was like, you should know that I did use this menu to kill a mosquito and its corpse is on the back of it. She's like, okay, yeah, I'll throw this one in the trash that you're telling me.

Oh, made me laugh. So anyways, it's just scary because it's fucking February. and there's already mosquitoes. What the fuck? The weather has also been really wild. Well, because it's been rainy and they like the water and then it's hot again. Cool. Like it's 84 today. It's going to be 66 on Tuesday. And then it's raining. Confusing times. You guys, it's zero degrees here. Yeah, I know it's so cold there. What the hell? And it feels like negative 12. Which is like, does it? I could not tell you what that feels like. At a certain point, we're just talking about cold. It's just ow, ow, out. When you go outside, it's like owie, owie, owie, owie, owie. I feel like below zero. It doesn't normally get that cold there.

No, we're having a weird cold freeze. This is unusual. Everything is. We're not going to go there. Well, on the plus side, probably no mosquitoes in that weather. I think that they're all incubating underground and they're about to like emerge. Yeah, I mean, they'll be back for sure. But you just like at this moment, just it's good every once in a while to think about the thing that's not bothering you right now. So for example, Sammy, it's not negative 12. It's not negative 12.

A mosquito gotcha. But it's 80 degrees outside. That's actually crazy. It's 80 degrees outside here and it is zero degrees there. That's really crazy. It's a big shift. One thing I do pretty regularly is I'll say, oh, I have no cuts inside of my mouth right now. How awesome.

Oh, that is, I try to remind myself about that too. God, damn, that is a really good refrain. I have no cuts inside of my mouth. mouth right now because and what do you say what do you say when you do have cuts inside of your mouth what do you tell yourself i have no vovites right now another day in the life yeah yeah i guess so if that's true my back doesn't hurt from puzzling i don't have a uTI oh god yeah that's what it's got be those are the only two comparable things i have no cuts inside of my mouth but if you do i have any uti and if you have both oh god bless you stay strong you got to stay home you got to stay home you

You got to stay home. You can't get out of bed. You got to stay in bed. No. You got to take care of yourself. You got to watch Aristotacats. You got to drink some soup. Oh, Lord. Oh, Lord. I hope there's absolutely nobody in the world with a UTI and cuts inside of their mouth. Nothing too salty or citrusy because it's going to hurt those cuts in your mouth. It's going to hurt those cuts. A mild creamy soup. Ew. Oh. Okay. Well, guess what? Freaking Surprise Surprise.

Sammy did not watch this week's scary movie. So another free. freaking scary thing that happened to me is that I watched the movie. I did it. Yay. Emily. I watched this week's movie, which is Send Help. Ooh. Send Help is a new release. It came out. January 30th, 2026. It is currently in movie theaters, directed by Sam Ramey, written by Damien Shannon and Mark Swift starring. Oh, baby. Rachel McAdams, Dylan O'Brien, Idol Ismail, Xavier Samuel, Chris Pang, and Dennis Hayesbert. I remember him. He's in this movie.

Wow, you guys. Wow. What do you know about this movie? Too much, so I won't say. Yeah, Sammy's seen the trailer, which we will be watching at the end because it spoils some things. Sammy also maybe knows some other things. I don't know. That was cryptic, but... I'm just very excited to see Xavier. Samuel, aka Riley Beers. He is, of course, of Twilight Eclipse fame. And I don't know if you guys remember, but he was also the guy from the scary prom movie.

What was that called? The loved ones, the like torture porny prom movie. Oh, that one? Oh, haunt me for the rest of my life. Oh, wow. Didn't like that. To me, he will always and only be right. Riley beers. Yeah, fair. And then I just had to say that I just saw Dylan O'Brien in a movie called

TwinLiss where he plays twins that he's so good in. So I'm just excited. I need to see it. I don't think I'd ever seen him in anything. And I am now a huge Dylan O'Brien. You never saw Mays Runner? I never saw Maze Runner. But he had a great, he got like insanely injured on the set of Maze Runner. Oh, I remember that. There was a stunt that went wrong. And he was on top of a moving car. and the like harness didn't work and he got hit by another car and had like a concussion facial fractures he had to have reconstructive surgery yeah I remember they like delayed filming like really wild that is an insane thing to experience and then to be like back to it he's great man not because of that separate from that I'm I am truly like it's been a while since I've

watch someone I've like never seen in something and I'm immediately a huge fan. I am such a huge fan. You got to watch twin list. He's, I will. He plays twins in it. So two for the price of one. Oh, incredible. And did that, when did that movie come out? This year as well. I mean, sorry. Because we're in, we've talked about this before. 2025 was a, was like a year of getting the same actor to play two roles. We happened a lot and that that kind of stuff. It just freaks me out when we're like in a moment we're like, why are we all doing twins now? We're all doing twins. We're all doing, I don't. Double ganger. Dopple ganger. Yep.

But I love him and no freaking surprise. I love Rachel McAdams. I love Rachel McAdams. Do you love Rachel McAdams? I do, yes. I'm obsessed with Rachel McAdams. I do feel like she's like America's sweetheart. I realized in how big of an emotional reaction I've had lately to Rachel McAdams that I think we all have.

And I'm like, why is that? I think she's wonderful. But so does everyone. And I'm like, wow, good for her. I think she's America's sweetheart. Yeah. Well deserved. She's definitely in the running.

I think that her career has been kind of confusing because she's so famous. Yeah, she makes some confusing choices. She's so famous, but what has she, what is she famous for? I feel like she's still mostly famous for the two things that made her famous, the notebook and mean girls, which came out the same year, I'm pretty sure. Yeah, but bass. And what's that called? Wedding Crashers. Wedding Crashers, yep.

Well, my favorite Rachel McAdams movie is about time. Oh, which I do need to see because it's also Domaglucin. And also one of my favorite Richmond Adams is, Are You There God, it's me, Margaret. Oh, I love that one. She's so, she's just, she just makes you feel good to see. She feels very real. She's very real and natural.

And then she's also in Aloha, which is unfortunate. Unfortunately. Yeah, we'll just forget about that one. Yeah. She's, yeah, she's, I just, I really love her. And I really spun out, not spun out, but just she got her star on the Walk of Fame recently. Yes, yes. And in that, I was like, let me look up so, because it was before I saw Sandhop and I was like,

let me look up some stuff about Rachel McHadam. She's like back on my mind and I love her. And I went into this year's 47 and I was like, oh my God. She's stunning. Oh, my. She hasn't aged. I don't understand. No, she hasn't aged.

And she also still looks again. Like we don't need to go on this rabbit hole. but like I don't, she probably has had some work done. She's probably had some, some maintenance done. But like, she looks like she has aged, but also not age. It's really, it's, she makes a real argument in my mind for just like genetics in a way that I honestly find soothing because of the end of the day, it's like, what are we going to do? You know? Yeah. You don't have any control over it. What are we fools to do? We can fixate, we can freak out. We could buy all the things. We could do all the stuff. But like, you know, whatever, man. But I love her. I love to look at her. I love to watch her in things. She really is just so talented.

She's so funny. I loved her in this. The movie is, for most of it, just her in Dylan O'Brien, which is so fun. And they are great together. And they're both great. And I'm huge, huge fans. Great. I know nothing about this movie.

The only thing I know about it is, like, I've seen still images of it. You know? Sure. Which I didn't even know it was Rachel McAdams for so long because she's covered in blood and mud or whatever the hell that is. Blood and mud. She looks intense. Blood and mud. Blood and mud.

Just remembered or rather looked up on IMDB, Dennis Haysbird, I remember from 24. I was like, what like 90s or early 2000s TV show was he in and it's 24? That's why I remember. Isn't he also the Allstate guy? That seems right. Yep. Yeah. That's what I know I'm from because I didn't watch 24.

But I have seen commercials. Wait. Oh, and a reminder that Emily, you'd be obsessed with 24. You and Joel should binge watch 24. We should watch 24. I feel like that would be a good, like, after or dinner time. Okay, well, dinner time is for Bobby Flee. So it has to be after dinner time.

Right. After dinner time. But, yes, we'll take it under review for, okay. Again, not while we eat because that's sacred time. That's for cooking. B B B B B B B B B B B B B some trivia about send help has a 93% on Rotten Tomatoes a 76 on Metacritic and a 7.3 on IMDB Nice budget of 40 million box office 36.7 million it'll get it'll hit his budget it came out just a little over a week ago as of this recording yeah I think it's doing well in theaters so hopefully it you know get that box office up higher Australian survivalist expert Kylie Fernaud was hired to consult in the film

helping Reg Mac Adams and Dylan O'Brien realistically look as though they're actually surviving on a deserted island. Spoiler. She built the camp shelter, various tools, weapons, and survival items. And she also taught Rachel McAdams how to make fire and collect drinking water. I want her to teach me that. Yeah, we should all learn this.

This is Sam Ramey's first horror film as a director since Drag Me to Hell. I was going to say, like, original Sam Ramey. What a treat. What a treat. He also specifically really wanted to work with Rachel McAdams again after directing her in Dr. Strange, one of the Dr. Strange. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Multiverse of madness. And so, like, specifically...

That movie was... Coopied. ...cookie movie. This film was originally announced in 2019 with Sony set to distribute during the COVID-19 pandemic. Sony wanted to release the film exclusively on a streaming platform. But Sam Ramey refused, and he shopped the project around for years. 20th century Fox, or I guess 20th century studios. I don't even know if it's 20th century Fox anymore. I added that in. It says 20th century studios. I just started talking about that for the next 45 minutes. 20th century studios finally picked it up in 2024, promising Ramey a full theatrical release. So let's hope they hit that box office and make it worth it. I think it was. It's very fun to see

these kinds of movies in theaters. Yeah. So. Was it a full theater? It was not, but I did see it on a Saturday morning at 1045. Okay, okay. So. Not prime time.

It's not prime time. It's not prime time. One of my favorite times to go. I do love to see a movie at that time as well. But that's what all the trivia I've got. Great. Let's do it. We just freaking get right into it.

I think my notes are pretty good. But I may have forgotten your favorite moment, your favorite line, if you saw this movie.

And I only say that because as I was taking notes and Joel was helping me, I had forgotten a part that he really liked and I put it into my notes, but just know that like I would have missed it. So it's, you know, just possible that I've done the same to you. And you're not my husband.

So sorry. We begin. An elevator dings open. He loves elevator, Sam Remy. You know? Or does he? Or does he? I don't know why.

I don't know why that came into my mind. I was like, what a Sam Ramey stamp of, I don't know. I don't know. Sorry, I don't know where that came from. Let's keep going. It felt like instinctual. It felt like you knew it. It just came out.

It really just came. It was almost like a burp. Deep down. It was like, what's the name? We love the elevator. Yeah. And that makes me feel like it must be true.

I think it's true. Otherwise, why would you have said it? I don't know. I have nothing. We are on a woman's shoes. Some real beat up like, uh,

Oxford's, but round. Like clown shoes, but small. Okay. But do you know the kind of shoes I mean? Nope. Yeah.

Like, like saddle shoes? but brown. Saddle shoes but brown, but no cutouts, you know? Right. Solid. Solid. Solid. Solid brown saddle shoes, but they're green. They're green. I hope we're getting this level of detail for absolutely everything. Sometimes I don't know. The shoes are just, it's like they're, they cut, they're classic to her vibe. It's like important that they're like, it's like, these are just technically office shoes, but they're just like fucking shoes. They're just like, fucking shoes, you know? They're not cute.

She's not like trying to be aesthetically pleasing for anyone. She's just herself. So we're on these, we're on these shoes. They're walking through an office, kind of your classic, like, a lot of cubicle's situation. We're looking at this desk. We see calendars, inspirational quotes. There's a quote from Helen Keller, like very sort of cheesy office vibes. We see a hand adjust a little placard of like the name plate in the cubicle saying, Linda Little. Come up and it's Rachel McAdams. Important to note they are trying so hard and I do think succeeding in not making us think she's the most beautiful woman on earth.

They're doing the classic like she has glasses, she's not wearing makeup, her hair is frizzy and also a little greasy. She's wearing like a turtleneck or like mismatched vest. Yeah, it's like she's just like kind of slubby. Like clown shoes but small. Clown shoes but small. That's a whole vibe. But schlobby, but not like sheath is being put together.

It's sort of like Andy Anderson at the beginning of Devil Wars Prada, but less cute. Wait, not Andy Anderson. The other one. Andy Anderson's from 10, how old's guy in 10 days? You're right. Andy something. Isn't her name Andy? I don't remember her name.

Ann Hathway. That's how I know her. You guys, I've never seen Devil Wars Prada. Oh my God. What? Wait, that is actually really crazy. So I have no idea what you're talking about right now. I don't understand how you, how do you, how do you know any cultural touch points whatsoever?

How do you know who Merrill Street is? Why have you not seen it? Yeah. So you're, you're unfamiliar with Vogue, Stanley Tucci in Hathaway. You've never heard of any of those. Surreulian sweater. Never heard of any of these things. Never.

Why haven't you seen it? It never came across my, my desk. That's actually completely insane to me and I'm having a really hard time. Compuiting. Why? But why? Tell us why. It hasn't happened.

You have to see it. Also, but also I'm wondering, why have I seen it so many times? I'm like, why have I seen it so many times? And important. What? What are we talking about right now? Let's just stop. Let's stop the recap.

I knew that that was going to be crazy. And just so everybody knows I've also never seen the godfather. That's fine. You don't like mafia movies. I don't. But to be honest, I don't. That one's fine. No one cares about that.

Is Devil Wars Prada like a rom-com? Because, you know, I'm not like a big rom-com person. Kind of a not, not, no, it's about. It's kind of the opposite of a rom-com in a way. It's like a, it's a corporate coming of age. It's just like a mean boss, mean boss lady. It's like a classic capitalism woman coming of age. And the importance of getting hot.

Right. Yeah, the dressing well. Okay, look, look, look, look, I do just think that you should watch it. Okay, okay. Because I was, the sequel comes out in May, and obviously it won't hit as hard if it's not nostalgic for you as it obviously won't be. But I was like, I think we actually need to cover it because I actually think that the devil wears product is important.

Okay. I'm totally down. I didn't even realize there's a sequel happening. We have not even gotten to a word of dialogue of this movie. That's totally funny. So it's Rachman. She's not hot. Got it.

She's like dorky. Sure. She's got glasses on a chain, you know? She's type and type type in her desk. And she's approached by a real smart. me, slicked back hair, very dressed like American Psycho type vibe guy, office guy. This is Donovan, aka Riley Beers. I can really see him looking like that. Yep. She gives him a stack of reports. She's like, stayed up all night finishing these. I like got all the numbers for you. And he's like,

oh, you're a lifesaver. Thank you. Like totally needed you to get this together for me. and he starts walking to a conference room at the end of the hall. She's following him. He turns around. He's like, oh, yeah, they made this meeting smaller, actually, so you don't have to be there. And she's like, oh, but I put the report together.

If they have any questions on the numbers, like, I should be there. And he's like, I don't know what to tell you. They just made it smaller. But I don't worry. Like, I've got this. And I will make sure that you get all the credit for the work that you did. See your names right here on the front of the report. And it's just a post-it note that has her name on it on the floor.

top of the stack. And she's like, okay, well, good luck. He's like, great, thanks. As he's walking away, she leans over the cubicle. The woman next to her and is like, I guess that elevator success is broken. The woman is like, what? She's like, oh, you know, we're going to have to take the stairs, you know, step by step, just like really trying to have a moment of camaraderie. And this young girl's like, okay. This is Sam Ramey's daughter, by the way, just a fun cameo. A little Nipo. A little daughter. Little nipple cameo. Another corporatey

guy comes up to the cubicle to talk to the young woman and is inviting her to karaoke that night. She's immediately like she turns on the charm to talk to him. And Linda,

Rachman Adams is like karaoke, I love karaoke. Oh, my go-to is one way or another. And they're like staring at her dead-eyed and she's like, Blondie? Yeah, I'm on. She's like really trying to connect

with them in there. Like she's a huge work. Apparently the use of one way or another in this movie was an homage to mean girls, which didn't register for me, but I'm like, cute. We're just having an awkward moment. You know, they don't really want Linda to be hanging out with them. In this moment, Linda looks over. It's, you know, glass walled conference room. She looks over and she sees Donovan, take the Post-it note off, put it in the trash. And she can overhear him being like, you know, hi, everybody, I have the numbers. Stayed up, sit up all night working on this bad boy and, like,

passing out the report, just taking all the credit. that night at home. She's in her kitchen. She's making a tuna salad sandwich, packing it for lunch tomorrow. She is talking about, you know, it's okay. At the promotion, I will be, I'm going to be promoted to VP soon. The CEO, he promised it to me. And, you know, his son, he told his son about it. His son's taking over, but he told him about it. And so I know the promotion is going to be mine. I just got to keep my head down, keep doing my job. We, pan out and she was like oh and you know he was really the sun was really flirty with me at the christmas party so i you know all i have to do is by my time this is going to be great she's drinking

a cheap white wine out of a wine glass with like blue and green stenciled flowers on it just felt like an important detail of like just the kind of gal we're we're working with here um we see we're seeing inside her house as she's talking she's got a bunch of books on her shelf that are like build your own shelter uh nature for women It's like very survivalist but very like nature. We see photos of her like hiking alone in the Grand Canyon, hiking alone in Yosemite. I'm really, just nature for women. I got to get that one.

It's like something like that. Nature for dummies. I really like that. No. For women. And we sort of pull back on her to reveal that she's talking to her bird. Oh, I thought it was going to be a cat, but I love that it's a bird. She lives alone with a bird.

Her bird's name is sweetie. She's talking to sweetie. She gets on the couch and she's trying to share a piece of toast with sweetie. She's like getting sweeted to try to take a bite while she also takes a bite and gets like really excited when it happens. And she says, sweetie, we deserve this. We deserve this. And then she turns on Survivor. It's time for Survivor.

She's so excited. She's talking to Sweetie about like, oh, if this person gets limited this week, I am telling you what. Like Survivor, super fan. That's going to come in handy. Perhaps. Next day at work we see she's eating our tuna fish sandwich. When a chita salad sandwich, important, when there's an announcement, the Allstate guys like everybody, you know, come meet your new CEO. This is, we have gathered, it's the son of the previous CEO who is for whatever reason

no longer with us. This is Dylan O'Brien. Everybody, you know, gets up from their cubicles and is like, oh, hey, she like quickly shoves her sandwich in the top door of her desk and, like, you know, wipes her face and is left with just a little bit of tuna salad on the side of her face. Oh, God. And, you know, he's like, he's being very charming, very like, oh, everybody, you know, I've got a lot to learn from you. And, you know, it's great to be here. But, you know, got big shoes to fill. But I'm going to, you know, try my best. And he's walking to past her to his desk. And she stops him. And she's like, you know,

these puppies have put in a lot of miles and he's like what she's like shoes you know if you're talking about shoes to fill like the you know these shoes are really gonna really gonna be ready to be put to work you know whatever you need

and we see as she's talking to him he we go from his POV and he's just zoomed in on the piece of tuna fish all he can see is the tuna salad sandwich on the side of her mouth and he's like, okay, well, oh, it's nice to meet you, Linda. And she's like, oh, we, uh, we met at the, at the Christmas party.

And he's like, right. Yes, of course. Christmas party. Yeah. And he like, you know, shakes her hand. He does it, like, he winks a lot as he's talking to her and is very clear that, like, he's just a fucking smarmy, shitty guy, but she has interpreted that as flirtation. Um, he shakes her hand and, uh,

you know, keeps on going to his office. She thinks it went pretty well. We know that it did not. Later, he's in his office talking to the Allstate guy, and he looks down and notices that he has a little bit of tuna salad on his hand. And he's like, he notices it. He goes, what is this? And he also gets a guy, he goes, I don't know.

He goes, smell it. He says, no, no, I'm not going to smell. And he says, smell it. and he puts his hand out and the Allstate guy has to come up and fucking smell his hand and he says, that smells like tuna salad. And he's like,

it was that disgusting woman. Oh, come on. She makes me sick. And the Allstate guy's like, well, that's Linda. She's actually, she's in, strategy and planning. That's Linda. She's in strategy and planning.

He's like, actually, she's a real workhorse. We really, we really need her here. Your father actually promised her. the VP position because she's really, really crucial to what we do here. And he's like, no, that's Donovan's position. And he's like, okay, well,

you know, she really, you know, deserves the recognition to me a long time. He's like, I literally don't care. Get her like a satellite office. She's gross. I don't want to fucking have her around. He's so disgusted by two little pieces of tuna. It's absolutely disgusted. And also, guys like, okay well we we haven't yet cracked appendix d so we do really actually need her for the Bangkok Merger and he's like fine she can come along for the Bangkok merger but after that like find another

place for her to be in the office like I don't want to fucking deal with her oh this is so rage baby for me like this is this is this is really making me mad just wait him I know I can't even I can't we've only arrived in the first five minutes it's also like not dissimilar to drag me to hell's beginning, where she's also Alison Lohman working in the office, not getting her the respect she deserves. Not getting her due. Yeah. Later that day, Linda, oh, there's, people are like cheering in the back

of the office, like a bunch of fucking dudes. And she's like, oh, big, big party over there. And again, Stammermy's daughter, who sits next to her is like, oh, yeah, they're probably celebrating Donovan's promotion. She's like, what? And she's like, yeah, I'm writing up to like the email right now to let everybody know he got the VP position. And Linda's like, I don't understand. like, she's like really flustered. Like what the fuck that is supposed to be mine. And the girl's like, yeah, well, I looked him up and he golfs with Bradley. Bradley's a new CEO. He's like he golfs with Bradley and they were in the same frat in college. So like, yeah, of course he's getting the

promotion. Yeah. Linda gets up to go speak to Bradley about it. She's like kind of got tears welling in her eyes. She's really worked up and she goes in his office. He's finishing up an interview for an assistant position. A really hot woman and he's sort of like leaned on his desk in front of her and he says, you know, I guess I just need to know is how above and beyond are you willing to go for me? Clearly a sexual implication here. Lyndon knocks on the door and she's like, hi, I need to speak with you. He's like, I'm in the middle of meeting and she says, I really need to speak with you right now. He's like, okay? Escorts to the woman now. I was like, we'll be in touch. Linda comes in and says down and she asks him,

you know, why was I passed over for the VP position that was supposed to be mine. I've been here seven years. Donovan has been here six months. And he says, you know, I'll be honest, I just, a VP is someone who I need to be able to like, go out and take meetings with me, meet people, be a people person. I need someone who golfs. And, you know, I just don't think you have it. He's I know you're good with numbers, but this is about more than that. And she basically is like, are you joking? And he's like, look, took a lot of balls for you to come in here and talk to you about this. So I'll let you prove me wrong, you know?

Really step up to the plate, show me what you've got. You can come along for the Bangkok merger and, you know, change my mind. He's got like a fucking putting thing set up in his office. office. And as he's telling her this, he gets a little golf club out. And he hits the golf ball and it goes right into a hole in one. He says, boom. And he's like, all. That's all. Thanks, Linda. He can go. She gets up as she's leaving. Bradley's fiance. Comes into the room. Absolutely stunning, gorgeous model woman. Bradley introduces her. She walks in and he's like, hey, sexy. Oh, you look amazing today. Just like such an insane thing to say. in front of anybody else. And introduces her. This is my fiancé. Zori, she introduced herself.

Linda's like, for her POV, she like, I zoom in on this insane huge diamond. And is like, oh, happy fiance, like is so flustered. Fucks up that interaction and goes to leave the office. And as she's leaving, Bradley says, by the way, Linda, I wanted to let you know. It's a little awkward, but we've been getting some complaints about you. And she says complaints.

And he's like, yeah, you know, noxious odors Tuna fish eating at your desk You know this is a workplace So we should really just be conscious Of other people And she's like

Oh absolutely And we see you know She's starting to cry Trying to hold it in You just really feel for her She runs to her desk And starts like gathering her thing So that she won't start crying

In front of everybody And she's like She's like rushing out of the office People are noticing And she's saying And her like don't cry Don't cry don't cry Oh my God

I'm gonna start crying It's awful She gets to her car, she's crying. She looks at herself in the rear of your mirror and she's like, Linda, you are enough exactly as you are. And she's just like giving her this beautiful pep talk that you're like, if only I could be able to give myself that pep talk in that moment. But she's not going to fall apart.

Cut two. Airplane hangar, private jet waiting, all these fucking bros are standing waiting to get on the plane. Linda shows up with her classic shoes, her little suitcase, and she's like, more. guys all sunny cheery positive attitude they're all like this fucking bitch she says bradley you know i i i was up all night and i i really think i've cracked appendix d like i think i found a solution that's really going to work she's telling him this whole spiel and then he goes what and he like takes out an air pot he wasn't even listening to her and he's like spits out his gum just goes like spits his gum on the floor and says all right boys cocks up and they all get on the plane Oh, no, cocks in the air.

Cox in the air. And they go on the plane. Cut to their on the plane. It's a private jet. There's one seating area where all the fucking bros are. There's four, three execs, I think. Riley Beers, another guy.

And Bradley, she's in the back of the plane, Linda, and we see over her computer, she's typing up a report on Appendix D. She's got her headphones in. She's really working. She's like smiling to herself. Like, she really fucking. it. This is a really important thing for this merger.

And the guys up front are, they're fucking Joshin. They're drinking. There's a beautiful flight attendant there that they're like wooing. And Riley Beers says, he's sitting like opposite corner to Bradley and he's like, oh, you want to see something you're going to really like and like tries to beckon him over to his screen. And Bradley just stays put and doesn't move. And so Riley like gets his computer and like comes over to him. and shows him a video he's found online of Linda Little's Survivor Audition. Oh, boy. And she's, you know, it's really dorky,

big font zooming in of like, Linda Little. And she's like, there's three ways to make fire, and I know all of them. And she's doing little fire things. And then there's a shot of her, like, boxing with her boxing instructor. And it's like, I can fight for myself. And the boxing structure comes to camera,

goes, Linda's a badass. And it's just like all the, it's really, really embarrassing. And they are absolutely dying, cracking up. She has headphones in, so she can't hear what they're laughing at, but she notices they're all like really laughing. And so she takes her headphones out and she hears that they are laughing at her. Oh, God. You see a little tear fall from her eye and she goes to her computer and she deletes the entire

report that she was writing. Oh, good for you, Linda. Hell yeah. Hell yeah. Just then they hit a big spot. of turbulence, a real, like, they all sort of like look around concerned.

The seatbelt sign comes on. The flight attendant's like, everybody, take your seats, put your seatbelts on. And Linda does. Bradley was always sitting with his seatbelt on because he didn't get up when he wanted to see the fucking computer. But he is like, oh yeah, guys, put your seatbelts on

if you're a pussy. And they're like, oh, ha, ha, we're not that scared. Another huge jolt of turbulence, the guys who were out of their seats like hit the ceiling, hit the ground. This is bad. We immediately are really rocking around. And a chunk of the side of the plane gets thrown off.

Obviously compromising the pressure. Donovan starts getting sucked out of that side of the plane. He grabs on to Linda's legs to try to not fly out of that side of the plane. She's trying to grab him. He's saying, give me your seat. Give me your seat. the other exec bro also starts flying out

that opening in the side of the plane he grabs onto Donovan's legs Donovan's trying to kick him off so then that exec bites Donovan's leg Donovan kicks him again, knocks all his teeth out that dude goes fucking flying at the side of the plane Donovan eventually Linda can't hold him he gets sucked out of the side of the plane

but is caught by his tie on like a piece of like sharp edge and so he's being dragged outside of the plane choked by his tie and he starts getting slammed over and over again into the window. This is very Sam Ramey, like, met like huge over the top. Yes. Like silly gore. He's getting like slammed into the window next to Linda. And she's seeing this in his face is getting like more and more pulver as he's like,

Linda, wind up. And she just like shuts her little window shade. And the plane goes down. And we see it crash into. the ocean. Linda is having a really hard time on doing her seatbelt. We're underwater. It's nighttime.

She does finally manage to get her seatbelt undone. Starts trying to swim up. We get a big jump scare of the flight attendant's face coming down in front of her. She is, of course, very dead. Linda manages to get her head above water and looks around. And it is nighttime. We are in the middle of the ocean. Absolutely nightmare shit.

And she does see in the distance. the silhouette of what looks like an island or something, and she starts swimming that way. They fade to black. Next day, we see Linda has washed up on shore of this island. She coughs, comes to, looks around. We don't see anything or anybody. Just jungle on a beach, a big, like, cliff.

It's gorgeous, but there's nobody around. She starts walking down the beach. we, you know, time is passing. When she comes upon another body face down, washed up on the shore, goes over to my God, flips it over. It's Bradley. She checks for a pulse.

He is alive, but he's unconscious. She says, had to be you. And she looks down. His pants are all bloody. She lifts up the leg. And one of his legists has, like, been cut pretty badly. No bone is out or anything. But it's like his leg got fucked up.

She drags him up to the sort of tree lines. of the beach and we just see her start getting to work. She is gathering palm trees. She's like pulling out, she's digging in the sand and like pulls out these like rope like things from under the sand that she knew to dig for.

She collects coconut shells. She notices it looks like a storm is coming and so she's like okay she like digs a big hole, collects coconut husks as little like bowls, gets big the like flat palm or not palm leaves but like you know the waxy. Yeah but like the

the wide, waxy ones. They're like tropical plants. Banana leaves. Yeah, like banana leaves. I don't trust myself to name any parts of plants anymore. Corn husks. And she's like using them as funnels into these bowls to try to collect rainwater. She's taking these fronds and leaves that she's gotten.

She's like tying them together, leaning them against sticks against trees, making a little shelter around Bradley who's still unconscious. she is like absolutely going to fucking work like wasting no time this woman has been in nature she's alone she trains to be on survivor it's like absolutely linda's fucking moment oh god this is like going to be so rage-beaty for me i just know it um we see you know it starts really storming she's you know huddled under a little shelter we see her just waiting out the night next morning She goes over to her little rainwater collection bowls and sees how much rainwater she collected and does a little like dance. She's so happy at work. She drinks water and is like, oh my God. Water, water, water is like so thrilled. We see she has started a fire. We saw her like rubbing sticks together to start a fire. And she's got a little fish cooking over a fire. We see Bradley start to come to and she comes out and is like, wow, look who rejoined the land. the living and she gives him some water. You know, he asks her if anybody else survived. She says no. These are his friends. He's very sad. She's like trying to get him to get his strength back.

She's like, here, here, have some of this. She has some fish. She's like, has some protein. Like, you really need to get your strength back. And he's like, mm-mm, gross. She's like, you have to, you have to eat something. Like, it's, you've been out a day and a half. Like, you have to eat something. And you're like, mm-hmm. And she like, quit. He's, like, you. He opens his mouth a little bit. She puts him in his mouth and he's like, mm-hmm. She says,

swallow it. And he's just, like, he's just being such a little fucking baby. A toddler. And immediately, as soon as he's like sort of come to a little bit, he starts telling her what she should be doing. He's like, have you tried calling for help? Have you made like, shouldn't you make like a really big fire and like send the smoke up in the air? Instead of like, what are you like playing house over here?

And she's like, the most. The most important thing in this moment is for us to have, like, food and water. They're going to need to locate the crash site, survey the surrounding area. Like, he's like, how soon until we get rescued? And she's like, well, I don't know, but probably not immediately. Like, we need to make sure that we survive for the next few days. And he is completely condescending to her. Like, he's like, you know, you're just an accountant and how you fucking know all this.

and she says, I'm in strategy and planning. How do you not know that? And he's like, whatever. Like, you work for me. I'm your boss. And at that, she gets up. She gets her shoes. He's like, whatever.

Yeah, get those away. They're stinky anyway. She gets her shoes. She gets her stuff. She just walks away. And he's like, oh, you're leaving me? Okay, yeah, fine. Bye.

And we just watch like a sort of montage of time passing as he's sitting against his street, looking at his watch and at first, he's like, okay, yeah, okay, you left. No big deal. And then time's passing, and his, like, face is getting, like, sunburnt and chapped. And he, and he's eventually like, yeah, I don't, I don't need you. Whatever, whatever, whatever. And then he's, like, completely fucking destroyed by the end of that day.

Next morning, she returns, gives him some water. And she says, we're not in the office anymore, Bradley. And he starts to accept her help a little bit. His leg is pretty fucked up. He can't really put weight on it yet. So he's sort of stuck sitting under this shelter while she does all the work. And she tells him she saw some boar tracks and she is going to need to go hunt it because they need more protein.

And he's like, you're going to fucking hunt a wild boar. He's like, isn't that like a scary pig? And she's like, we don't really. have a choice. They are dangerous. Kill more people annually than sharks. But she's not deterred. She's like, I'm going to go fucking get this boar. She goes to the woods. She's made herself a big spear out of a stick. And she's hunting for this boar. We see her. She's walking really carefully. She's making sure not to step on any sticks. She's following the track. She's doing a really good job. She gets into this sort of clearing where the tracks have stopped. We hear the boar. It's like rustling

for the woods. She's not seeing. She's not seeing. She's not seeing it. She's not seeing. it runs at her. She tries to stab, but she doesn't get it. It's fucking mad. It's looking for her, but she's not anywhere to be found. And now we're like, where is she? Where is she? It's looking around. It's all mad. And she like jumps down from above it from the tree above and stabs it through the neck. Now it's freaking out. She's got blood spattered all over her. It's trying to run it, but it's like got a stab wound. She backs away. It's like running at her. We get very Sam Ramey like P-O-B shot of the bore like running at her. and right before I can get her she grabs another stick

she stabs it through its mouth so now it's dying and as it's dying it's like right up in her face and it keeps like coughing blood and guts into her face again Samarie when we got a lot of fluids cut to

the boar's cut off head she throws it onto the beach right at Bradley's feet it spatters blood onto him he looks up at her she is covered in blood and she's like winded, full of adrenaline.

She says, have you ever hunted? I think I like it. That night. We're sitting over next to a fire. There's a big leg roasting on a spit. They're both eating meat and are so happy.

They're like, oh my God, this is the best thing I've ever tasted. They're so happy. Not like stinky yucky fish. Not stinky yucky fish. Yummy, yummy pig meat. and she just starts all of a sudden like really laughing to herself

and he's like, what are you laughing at? She said, I'm just thinking, while you were here all day, sitting like a bump on a log, I went out and I brought home the bacon. And then she really starts laughing and he starts laughing. He's like, you really did.

You brought home the bacon. And they're like, I mean, they're delirious. This has been a pretty wild few days, but they're really laughing. they're like suddenly enjoying each other's company. This has somewhat brought them together. The next day or some, it's hard to tell exactly the passage of time here,

but Linda is hiking through the rest of the island exploring, you know, what she can find. And she comes upon a waterfall and a little pool. She's so excited. Oh my God, freshwater. She comes up to this pool. We see her, like, see herself in the reflection of the pool. and she, you know, she's never looked better. Her hair, she's gotten sun. Her hair is like curly and flowing. She like is just like splashing water on herself and fully starting to have this like romantic like goddess in the pool moment. She finds a flower and she like puts it behind her ear and she's like dancing in the waterfall and she just is like giggling and splashing around and is just like, ah, I'm here.

as she starts walking back to their beach, she's on another beach, another part of the island, and she sees in the distance a boat approaching the island and runs out to be like, oh my God, oh my God. And then stops herself and tucks back into the foliage and it's like, not yet.

Not yet. Oh no, it's going to be the whole type of situation. She comes. We see her come back to Bradley with, she's made these like jugs that she's got you know fresh water and she gives one to him and she is like she is in such a good mood she is feeling amazing she's made a backpack that she like carried her water jugs in out of she made this backpack out of straw their shelter by the way it used to just be like palm fronds leaned up against a tree it's now like has like four walls and a roof as like a fully like

well-built shelter with like a table inside and she comes in she puts in she puts puts her backpack down. She's like, I found a new water source. And he is immediately, like, she's so fucking annoyed at how happy she is. He's like, we need to get out of here. Like, we need to be, like, looking to get rescued. And you're over here playing Susie Homemaker.

She's like, you know, what the most important thing to survival is in these situations? Statistically, the most important thing is a positive attitude. And he's, like, so fucking over her shit. She tells him, like, Bradley, help is not coming. Okay. We need to take care of ourselves.

We need to learn how to survive. You are constantly waiting for someone to come and rescue. We're like, where the fuck would you be without me? I have kept you alive. So fucking buck up and adjust to your circumstances. And he tells her, he's like, doesn't want to take orders from her. He's like, I'm the CEO of a Fortune 500 company. She was like, yeah, a company that your dad built.

And he like, is like, you know what? I fucking, I could do all this shit that you could do. I watched you build the shelter. Like, I can do it. And he like gets up. He's really having to limp on his leg. But she's like, okay, great. Have fun.

Like, go enjoy yourself. And he limps away. And he's like, yeah, I can fucking do it myself. I can fucking do anything. And he starts trying to build his shelter. And he's putting sticks up against a tree, looking for things he can use his rope. It's not going well. He doesn't know what the fuck he's doing.

He starts gathering. dicks to write out help on the beach. No one's looking for that. Like, that doesn't mean anything. And meanwhile, we see Linda is building herself a little sun hat. She's like weaving and trying it out on her head. She's got a hammock. She's sitting in a hammock with her little hat and just like watching him. She's like eating mango and drinking fresh water while he is just like absolutely failing at this. Next day, we see he is completely sunburnt. He has had no shelter. He has. He tried at one point. Rain started falling.

We tried to collect rain water. And as soon as he has this bowl set up, it stops raining. He's just like, cannot do this. He is desperate. We see him see like a little beetle walk past him. And he's like, yes. And he grabs it and he eats it. And it's like, he immediately like starts spitting it out.

It's disgusting. He looks over and Linda is preparing herself on the beach. She has gotten, she's made herself a table. She has like fresh sashimi that she has perfectly. cut up on this little like banana leaf bowl. She's got bowls of fresh fruit. She's like sitting herself down to this lovely. She's got she's made herself chopsticks and she's just like eating her little shimmy and

watching him and he comes over hat and hands. And he's like, Linda, I'm really sorry. I am. I'm really sorry for the way I treated you. And she's like on the island or before the island? he's like all of it um all of it i've i've really i've really not been nice to you you clearly i need you you know what you're doing i don't and i really can i please can i i would like to come back to camp can i please come back to camp and she says well that depends how above and beyond are you willing

to go for me nice and he looks at her and he starts to take a shirt off and she's like no jesus Christ, God, no, I'm not, I'm not you. I'm not going to make you do that. Come, yes, come back to camp, sit down. Do you want some food? He's like, yes, thank you so much. And she gets him a little, a little bowl of sashimi. He starts slurping it down. He notices she has like a little, it was like a little cheese knife. Earlier she had been using, she like, we saw her break off a stone to like create a sharp edge that she was using to like cut branches and stuff, but she now has like a little cheese knife. And he's like, where did you get the knife? She says, washed up on shore. It's really amazing what you can find if you actually go looking around.

And we're, you know, we're back on the same team. Okay. Sometime later the next day or a few days later, you know, his leg is he able to walk on it, put weight on it. So she's like, let's go for a hike. You need to be rehabbing your leg. And so they start walking this hike around the island. they go up this really intense cliff face that has like a ledge they can walk along. I'm thinking this is far too intense a hike for him to be doing on his leg. But she's giving them a tour of what she's learned basically. And she's like they come across a like berry bush. They look like little tiny tomatoes with their yellow and orange.

And she's like a general rule foraging is if it's yellow, you don't eat it. It's poisonous. But the real way you can find out is if you're, you rub a little bit of it on your skin and see if you get a reaction. And we see immediately her skin like gets pink and bubbles up a little bit where she rubbed the berry on her. She's like, that's poisonous. Don't eat it. She points to in the distance there's like these two, this really obvious rock formation. That's like two rocks leaning up against each other. And she's like that part of the island where those rocks are is all, there's like a ton of poison ivy and like poisonous vines.

If you go to that part of the island, you're going to end up like wanting to scratch your skin off. so we don't go there. And as they're walking, or no, he needs to take a beat and sit because his leg is hurting. So like, yeah, let's take a beat. He sits down and she takes another step and the rock underneath her feet crumbles.

So she slips down the edge and she's grabbing onto the edge. He like has to come and try to pull her up. If she were to fall, it's like an insane drop over just rocks. Like absolutely would be a, death fall. Yeah. And he does manage to finally pull her up.

She, of course, you know, ends up, like, you know, laying on top of him, chest to chest. Of course. Of course. They're like huffing and puffing. Oh my God. Oh, my God. She, you know, thanks him for saving her. He's like, I, you know, I owed you one.

This is a really intense moment. Seems to have bonded them a bit. Okay. back on the beach Linda brings over She's like, look what I found And it's a big bunch of green bananas And he's like, great

So you know, green bananas She says not for long And she pulls a few off And she puts them on top of the little fire They have going And she's like, the heat turns the Or like turns to starch into sugar So it quickens the ripening process

Pulls them out, gives him one They start eating them And he's like, oh my God, this is amazing It's like there's you know Delicious sweet warm banana. They're so happy. Linda tells him, have you heard about,

I think it's called Pruno? She's like prison wine. She's like, you know how they make that? It's just like fermented fruit. And he says, are you telling me you want to make prison wine? And she says, I already did. You want to get drunk? Cut two. They're sitting around a fire on the beach. They're both drunk.

She accidentally calls him sweetie. And he's like, sweetie. And she's like, sorry, that's, um, that's the day. my bird. And he goes, oh, you have a bird, which is really funny. She tells him, you know, I was married. And he's surprised by this. And who would marry you? He says, what happened? You get divorced? And she said, no, he died. It's like, oh, I'm so sorry. She says, don't be. He was not a good person. He didn't know how to love. And, And he's like, I get that.

She kind of looks at him inquisitively. And he's like, my parents didn't know how to love. You know, I actually never really, my dad's a total stranger to me. Like, I don't know him at all. And I was raised by my mom. And she's a really mean person, abusive, emotionally, physically. But, you know, her dad was a piece of shit. So I try not to really blame her.

And she's looking at him with this sort of new understanding. And she says, if you're the saying monsters aren't born, they're created. And he's like, you call me a monster? And she's like, yeah, kind of. And he starts laughing. He's like, I really, I'm a monster. I was really a monster to you. I'm like really shitty to a lot of people.

And seems to be kind of having some sort of reckoning. Oh, my God, I'm so anxious about what's going to happen. She tells him. he asks, how did your husband die? And she says, he was a drinker. And I used to hide his keys and we would get really drunk. And one night he was really drunk and he did some really terrible things, even for him. And we were having a really big fight.

And he was screaming, looking around for his keys. And I took them out of my purse and I gave him to him. and I poured him his last drink and he left and got in an accident and died and she's like I've never told anybody that before and he's like

they're really having this moment of he's like I get it like it's okay next morning we see her wake up very hungover on the beach sort of coming to she's alone she doesn't see Brad She's like looking around for him and sees him kind of off in the distance

Rinsing off like bathing as best he can in the ocean And he's naked and she looks at him for A beat too long and he Turns and sees her and she like you know Walks away and acts like she wasn't looking But he definitely saw her but he doesn't seem to But he isn't like You know oh god don't look at me

He's just sort of like clocks that she noticed. A little while later, a big storm comes. And it's rained there before, but this is like big gusts of wind. Their shelter is starting to come apart. Huge branches of trees are falling. A big skinny palm tree does fully fall. Linda has to like shove Bradley out of the way so he doesn't get hit. This is a bad storm.

They're like, we have to abandon camp. We need to move further inland. So they go. They find a cave. talking to this cave and are like, okay, great, we need to ride the storm out here. But it's, they're freezing. They're in this little cave. It's been pouring down rain. They're both just like sitting there shivering. And Bradley says to her, come here, body heat. And she's like, okay, yeah, good idea. And so he like puts his arm around her. She sort of knuzzles in his chest and they just

kind of hold each other as. Works better when you're naked, though. It works better when you're naked. They're not. They're not wearing much clothes, but yeah, they're not naked. But they sort of just sit there and huddle. Next morning, Linda wakes up alone in the cave. Bradley's not there. She goes out and starts looking for him, finds him. He's like collecting some branches and leaves and stuff. And he tells her, or she tells him, I think she looked and she's like our, you know, whole shelter is gone. She's like, stupid. I like, I shouldn't have made shelter like so close to the beach. She's like, it's fine. Like, we'll make another one. And this time I can help you. And I would really like to help you build our next shelter.

And she's like, wow, okay. That would be great. Wow. And, you know, Katu, we see them. They've built another, you know, incredible shelter. And he tells her, you know, tonight. I just also want to say that. This whole recap Henley is just like grimacing in this way.

Like she's just so stressed about what is to come. She's just embraced the whole time. I can't relax. I can't relax. Yeah. And I'll say for me watching this movie, I was like, everything's fine. Like, especially like going into this like Sam Ramey, I was like, the boar, the hunding the boar scene was like gory, but like totally fine. Like this whole time, I'm just like, this also, I will say, we probably could have cut like 30 minutes out of the movie from the movie from the,

this whole island situation. But it does feel like you're just like wait. You're just waiting. Right. Yeah. Well, because she is so deeply competent, except for her ability to understand emotional cues or social cues. And it's just horrible having to watch someone.

And he has no skills. Like he literally cannot be there without her. He knows he needs her. Right. But he is a fucking associate. Right. And clearly doesn't like respect her. A shitty, shitty person. It's just a really fascinating dynamic.

I also feel like it's important to note like this movie is so funny. All of this, like it's hard for me. Their chemistry is so good. Their back and forths are so good. Like it's delightful. It has been delightful. I think the other reason why I'm stressed is because in general I'm just stressed about the like persistent and increasingly distressing.

knowledge of how men capitalize on women's labor. And we are well aware of that. Right now, I feel like we're having a reckoning a little bit in the culture about that. And so just to hear this story told is also just kind of activating some of those thoughts I've been having about, you know, the gender dynamics we have been taught are normal. Right. Of course. However, are not. And are deeply unnatural. So that's for another podcast, though. And I'm going to zip and let you keep it. And it's also, I mean, I feel like we do get it, but like it's really worth highlighting that Linda is absolutely thriving. Like Linda does not thrive in the life we saw her in before. But here, it's, I mean, she's, all she's whoever wanted was to be on Survivor and

she obviously, you're like not hoping to get a banner and a deserted island, but pretty quickly she's like, oh my God, I rule. Like, I fucking rule. I can do all this shit I've like hoped I could do. I can do it for real. I can kill a bore. I can build a shelter. I can collect rainwater. I can find a knife. I can like, I'm gorgeous. I'm stunning. Like, she's like absolutely in her element in a way that I don't think she ever has been in her entire life. Meanwhile, this is a fucking yuppie nepo executive who's like only ever gotten shit he wants wants like fancy comfort and has, there is one, like, line in the movie where she's like, is this really so bad? Like, it's beautiful.

We have fresh fruit. Like, it's gorgeous here. And he tells her he's like, this is when they're like sort of bonding a little bit more. He says, no offense, Linda. This is literally the last place on earth I ever want to be. Like, this is a nightmare for him. No offense. Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm. But, okay, we've made our new shelter. And he tells her, you know what? I want to make dinner for you tonight. You have done everything. you have kept me alive. Like, it is about time I do something for you. She's like, do you ever cook at home?

He's like, absolutely not. But like, I want to like try to do this. And she's like, okay, that would be lovely. Cut to that night. She's sitting at their little table. And he presents her with this beautiful smoked fish, these like little pieces of smoked fish on a banana leaf that he caught and cooked. They've got this like lovely yellow sauce along the top.

A bowl of fresh mango. What color? The mango is also yellow. The mango is also yellow. Okay. Okay. We got a bowl of mango. And he's like, you know, doing a cute bit where he's like,

uh, madam, tonight we have for you, uh, some fresh smoked fish, um, with a remalade and, uh, you know, a bowl of a fresh fruit. And, oh, she also at one point, when she was eating her sashimi earlier, she has like a little cup that she carved her Linda onto, like, so that you would know. So you don't mix of Linda's cup. Yeah, yeah. She's saying, she's like, oh my God, this is so beautiful. She takes a bite of that fish and pretty quickly starts feeling a little woozy.

A little lightheaded. We start to see, you know, from her perspective, focus blurring. This motherfucker. We zero in on that sauce on the fish. And yes, it is indeed that poisonous berry that she showed him about before. She's still conscious, but she collapses and is like foaming at the mouth a little bit. And he gets up, runs into the island, drags out a raft that he built. He's got like coconuts and mangoes.

He made a little basket. He's got all his shit ready to go, a paddle. He has her cup that says Linda on it. And he drags that raft out under the, tour and as he's going out to sea he goes, fuck you, Linda! And he gets on his raft and he

starts paddling out into the ocean at night. It is pitch fucking dark. This fucking idiot chooses this moment to go out to see. Linda can't do anything about it. She's foaming at the mouth on the sand. Also, like, you think you can survive at sea,

my bro? Like, what... He's a CEO of Fortune 500 company, Henley. What can't he do? he starts paddling out and his raft it's like looking you know it's looking okay he's got his paddle he's going gets hit by a wave his raft starts to come undone and he's like chich chit and he's like trying to grab his coconuts and all his things and like get his raft back together when he looks up and a big wave comes throws him under and like he gets pulled into a current he is sinking he is absolutely drowning we see as he's falling down to the ocean shore he has this very big wave comes he has this

vision of Zuri, his fiance, swimming towards him. Cut to what's actually happening. Rachman Adams has pulled him up to shore. And Linda is, you know, over him, like to give him CPR. And she pukes yellow sauce into his face, does some CPR, pukes into his face again. And he is coming to and he's just like another like three times just gets like, like mango or like poison berry sauce just gets like puked straight into his face. Is it getting in his mouth at all? Is he going to be poisoned from the pew? It's not getting in

his mouth, but it's, it's getting on his face. Why is she saving him? This is why this is actually genuinely what the point of conflict I'm having is just her. She likes him. I know. She's really lonely. Her her compass for relationships seems to be a little little off. Her her, her, her, Her options are few. I also think she likes the feeling of power of being in charge here. Yeah, but this dude just tried to like poison and murder you. Like that's, he's going to try to do that again. Well, cut to the next morning.

You got to tie him up. We just were up, we're on his face, you know, and he's like kind of crying and he's like, I'm really sorry. You know, he's humiliated. Again, it's very fun. He's so good in this movie. but he's like absolutely humiliated knows he really fucked up

and he's like I didn't I wasn't trying to kill you I just thought like you know I just were trying to get away you know you really wanted to I really just wanted to go get help and he had like read a story at some point he told her about a guy who like built his own raft and got rescued from some abyss

so he's like really determined to be like I just you know it was like I thought it was a really good idea but I'm really sorry obviously and that's why that's why he yelled fuck you Linda when she was leaving because he was trying to go get help um and she's like it's okay you know that one of those berries you would have needed a lot more to to kill me so you know it's okay but we learned something didn't we and and we're not going to be doing that again and

she's she's like you know I'm actually like that was a pretty good raft that was a pretty good raft I'm pretty impressed you know you've clearly learned a lot but um you know better luck next time and she hands him a skewer. She's got like some, you know, calomari looking little, like, squitty legs on a skewer. And he, like, takes it from her. He's like, thanks. And he takes a bite and he starts eating it. And he offers her some.

And she's like, no, you know, my tummy's still a little queasy from yesterday. And he's like, right. Yeah, sorry, sorry, sorry. And she, he's eating it. And he's chewing. And he starts to be, like, sticking his tongue out. like, because tongue's like maybe going numb. And she's like, you're feeling a bit weird?

She says, yeah, the neurotoxins in that, in that octopus, that's making, it's going to make you paralyzed. You're not going to feel anything. It's not going to kill you. She's like, let me put you at ease. Not going to kill you. But things are going to have to be different around here, Bradley. Okay.

I'm your boss And I'm going to be a much nicer boss to you than you were to me except for maybe this next part We see she is sharpening her little knife Oh brother Sanitizing it over the fire

And she says, you know She says I caught that octopus about a week ago I held on to it just in case she says when I was growing up we had this dog who was really he really misbehaved he really couldn't listen to to training and my dad said you know it's not his fault he's just not fixed

oh and she sharpens her knife oh god she comes up to him she's like I want to you know let you know you're not going to feel anything, which is really what you're going to want right now.

We're on his face as we hear pants come off, boxers come off, she holds them up to him. She's like, this is really honestly a very easy medical procedure. They used to do it to the slaves in ancient Egypt to get them to be more docile.

So don't worry, this will be very quick. Let me stay on his face as we start to hear some squelchy sounds. Oh, my God. He's like, he can't move or speak, but he is like, and we do see like little tears forming in his eyes.

Linda, this is, see, this is what I mean. This is not, this is, okay, keep going. And blood, we see blood spray up on his face, and he's like, mm-hmm. And she's like really joking and is like, whoa, we've got a bleeder. Oh my gosh, don't worry, totally routine. and then she pulls up a bloody dead rat. And she tosses to the side and she says,

next time it won't be a rat. Okay, all right. Just a warning shot. Just a warning shot. Okay. Cut to Bradley hammering, building a new shelter while Linda watches on. She had made herself like a little backpack. she's all sunny

she tells him Bradley it has been two days and I have not seen a single smile would it kill you to smile She's like See now just because of that I am gonna go and I'm gonna get to the freshest

Fruit on the island And I'm gonna get it for you And we're gonna have a fruit salad And she's got She's also made herself like a little sheath For her knife that she always like wears on her belt and so she goes to go get this fruit cut to we see her on another beach on the other side of the island cutting mangoes from a tree

she's saying to herself like he just needs to just needs a better attitude and then everything's going to be better again you just needs to get over it and everything's going to be fine and she looks out she hears a sound looks out and there is a boat coming and they this person on the boat sees her and calls out her ways her hand like oh my god oh my god oh my god we zero you go in on something glinting in the sun, a big, shiny, fat engagement ring, and this is Zuri Bradley's fiancé.

It's her with a boat captain of this, like, you know, little sort of motorboat that has come to find them, and she's like, Linda! Linda! Oh, my God! And Linda's like, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. I mean, really bad timing. Really? You would love for this to have happened before you made him think he were going to cut his balls.

off. She's really upset about this. They come up and Zuri immediately hugs. She's like, oh my God, I can't believe we found you. And she's like, oh, my God. Wow. And Zerre's like, yeah, they gave up searching this area, but I was never going to give up. I knew we were going to find you. Is Bradley okay? Like, tell me his brother. And she's like, yeah, he's fine. He's great. Is it just, you? Is it just, you? you guys are, is there like a whole search party? Linda. And Zuri's like, it's just us, but don't worry.

We're going to let everybody know that you guys are okay. Please take me to Bradley. I have to see Bradley. And she's like putting her backpack on filled with all her mangoes. And the boat captain is like, it's okay. Like we have so much food on the boat. Like you don't. And she's like, no, no, no.

Like let me get my mangoes. And he's like, okay, yeah, totally fine, totally fine. And Zeri as they're walking back through the jungle, she's like, oh, you must be so happy. You're going to get back to your old life. We're going to cook you up any meal you want. Like, oh, this is going to be so amazing. And she's just like, oh, yeah, yummy.

Great. And it's like, okay, this is the way to get back to Bradley. Takes them on that same very treacherous cliffside hike. Linda. As they're walking, Linda's in the lead. She sort of zeroes in on that spot where the rocks were treacherous. she stops to tie her shoe and lets them get ahead of her

so now Zuri is in the lead and we see as Zuri gets to that spot some more rocks crumble under her feet she falls is grabbing onto the edge of the cliff the boat captain is coming up and trying to grab her but he can't pull her up on his own they're both like Linda Linda he's like help me help me

and we just are on Linda's panicked face of her not knowing what to do fade to black come up on Linda arriving back on the beach with Bradley alone looking not so good she mentally emotionally Linda is not really there she comes over she drops the backpack of mangoes by Bradley's feet and just like walks out to the ocean and just like

stares at the shore and he's like okay that night she is laying in her hammock and wakes up and sees someone being washed up on shore going Linda Linda she walks out and sees Zuri standing up walking all crookedy zombie-like was like why did you do it Linda why did you do it?

and her hair is in front of her face and her hair pulls back because she looks like a zombie and it's a jump scare and Linda wakes up and it was a nightmare Bradley comes over to her she's like laying on her

little hammock like absolutely catatonic and Bradley comes up to her and he's like I found fresh board tracks I think we need to go hunt it we're running out of food and she's like

I'm taking a sick day it's like I can't do it alone and she's like I don't feel good and just like isn't responding to him a very obvious change has occurred for Linda.

And he's clocking it. But he's like, okay, I got to go get this fucking boar. So he goes after it alone. He's tracking it through the jungle. He's trying to find this boar. He's not doing a very good job. He's stepping on sticks. He's making all kinds of noise.

But he sees, at a far beach, he sees the boar back to him, clearly trying to like chew on something in the sand. Oh, no. He runs up to it, scares it away, and sees a hand sticking up out of the sand with a big sparkly ring on it. He, of course, immediately recognizes it, runs up to it, cries, kisses the hand. That'd be so gnarly. That would be really, really, really, really a bad thing to discover. I would feel like I was losing my mind at that point, for sure.

Yeah, I would think like this can't be actually... Yeah, I'm having like a weird vision. died and I'm in hell. Hell. Comes back to the beach. She walks up, he finds Linda standing on the beach, staring out into the ocean, still, you know, not doing great.

And he comes up to her. And he holds his hand out. He's got the ring on his pinky finger. He's like, what did you do? And she's like, it was an accident. She fell, trying to come back here. He's like, why don't you tell me? She said, I knew you wouldn't believe me.

And he's like, yeah, I don't fucking believe you. And she says, it was an accident. And he says, an accident like your husband? Whoa. And she's like, fuck. The tension is thick. Mm-hmm. Uh-oh.

And so she goes to reach to grab her knife and he holds it up. He has it. Mm. And so she just runs into the jungle. And he runs after her. He's following her. They get to a clearing. he can't find her. We see that she's behind a tree

hiding from him and he's stalking around for looking for her. He thinks he's got her. He comes across around the tree. She's not there anymore. We just see on the ground her shoes without their shoelaces and then behind him she jumps down from the tree, strangling him with her shoelace. He's choking him,

he drops the knife. He's trying to get her off of him. He grabs a chunk of her hair and pulls a bunch of skin off with her hair, flinging her to the ground she has like a gnarly

like big old fucking open wound on the front of her head now this is a there's a lot of things that happen here she okay yeah so she throws her off she's like you weather fucker she tackles him and then bites into his shoulder pulls a chunk out of his shoulder

her mouth is all bloody she spits it out and she goes fuck you Bradley Oh my god, okay. He gets on top of her, he starts choking her, starts gouging his, her eye out with his thumb, is pushing into her eye. She grabs a rock, smashes into his head.

He grabs her. He didn't gouge the eye fully out, but it's all, like, bloody and nasty. He grabs her head, is, like, shoving it into some mud. She's groping around, manages to grab the knife, slices at him, stabs him in the stomach.

Gets up. She like, you know, this is where she's covered in mud, covered in blood. Absolutely manic. Has her knife. She's like swiping around. She can't really stay. She's like, where are you? Where are you? Where are you? We see that he's started to run away because he's, there's a pretty bad stab wound that she just got in him. He runs away. She looks, she sees the direction that he's running in.

And it's the direction with the rocks that lead to all the poisonous vines. She sees that, sees him going that way and like, decides to go around another way. Go back to Bradley. We find him. He runs out onto an open stretch of beach, looks up,

and we see a big mansion. A gorgeous, big, luxury home. What? And he goes to it, climbs up the stairs, is like banging on the walls. Help, hello, hello.

Nobody's there. He manages to, like, get a sliding door open. comes in, it's like a fully stocked, gorgeous empty, like, billionaire's home. Oh my God. This is actually giving, sorry, never mind. Spoiler alert for the village. I'm my chomelon, but, like, that's what it feels like.

He's, like, looking around, he grabbed, he opens a drawer where there's, like, dish towels and he, like, sops, you know, puts pressure on his wound. There's a fridge. He's in the kitchen. He opens the fridge. There's, like, bottles of champagne and bottles of, like, fancy water. and he's like, what the fuck? He like grabs a bottle of water

just like, like, like, inhaling this water. And just then as he's doing that, over a speaker, we hear Rachel McAdams' voice, Linda, saying, refrigeration, the ultimate marker of civilization.

What? She says, there's a really good mossy on curry in the freezer, by the way. Wait, what? He looks up, he sees there's like security cameras.

He, like, opens a drawer, it's silverware drawer, missing all the nine. And he starts like rummaging around in there. No knives. And she's like, yeah, I took all the knives. She says, I can't believe you thought I found a knife washed up on the shore. I really didn't think you were going to go for that. We see her watching from a like control room in this home somewhere. I just realized I was like still holding my side as if I was holding a stablish. I was like, I can stop. We see her, yeah, watching him on the computer screen. And she says, you know, I have a confession to make. we could have been rescued several weeks ago. And we cut back to that moment where she saw the boat arrive and didn't call to them. But we see her watch the boat, follow the boat, go to this home. Whoa.

And these are like caretakers of this home. She watches them come in and stock the fridge. She watches them input the like security code to unlock the door. And she like memorize she's good with numbers. She memorizes that number. we see her walking in the house and like reveling in the air conditioning and like eating fruit out of the fruit bowl and just like oh my god like heaven and she was like you know it just things were going so well with the two of us you know that life here's so much better there's nothing for us to go back to you know this i wasn't ready to leave things were so good oh no she tells him you You know, didn't you ever wonder why it was just the two of us who survived? Out of everyone, it was the two of us who made it.

You know, that has to mean something. We were supposed to be here. And things were going really well when it was just the two of us. But things did start to go off the rails. And we see her flashback to Zuri and the boat captain hanging off the cliff saying, like, help me, help me. We see her grab a big rock. Oh, my God. Smash it on that boat captain.

head and they both plummet to their deaths. It's like, you know, I never meant to do that. Oops. But, you know, things just kind of got out of hand. Meanwhile, we've seen, we've followed Bradley as he's like listening to this and trying to find his way through the house. She mentioned she's like, some fucking Wall Street billionaire owns his house. He's never here.

Like, this is just a second property for him. He goes, he finds himself in a study where you see there's like these sculptures of these big bronze boers with like huge. horns just to see him clock that just then he hears like footsteps coming he sees the shadow of Linda start to come across the corner and she rounds the corner with a shotgun held up pointed at him and he immediately falls to his knees and it's like Linda I'm so sorry I'm so sorry um I totally get it I understand everything you're right you're right this is a fantasy we don't there's nothing for us to go back to. We should stay here. We should stay here. We can have a real life fairy tale.

I think we can really be happy here. Like really, really happy. And she's like real happiness, right? No bullshit. And he's like, no, none of that bullshit. No, we can be happy here. Just you and me. You're extraordinary. The things that you've been able to do here. I've never met anyone like you. You are incredible, Linda. And I love you. I love you. nice fond response we call it and she she's sort of tearing up as he's saying this to her she's like holding a gun on him but like has only wanted to hear this and we know we see her starting to soften like do you mean it we can really be happy we can live this way and as she's starting to buy it and lower her defenses she looks behind him to one of those sculptures and sees that it only has one horn not two and we see behind him he is holding it behind his back and just as she realizes this

he lunges at her with it swipes at her she drops the gun he grabs her head he smashes it against the wall she is able to grab there's like a big golf club up on the wall that she grabs that

but as she turns he has the gun on her and he says goodbye Linda from accounting and shoots and nothing happens. The gun was not loaded. And she swings the golf club at his head,

knocking him to the ground, stands over him and says, strategy and planning, winds up the golf club to hit him in the head, says, boom, and swings. And before we see the club make contact with his head, we smash cut to

a golf club hitting a golf ball on a gorgeous golf course, soaring off exactly where it's meant to go. We pull back and the golfer is Linda looking hot, a long, sleek ponytail, a cute little golf outfit. She looks amazing. Everybody claps. A woman comes up to her with a microphone. They're on camera. She says, amazing, Linda, I'm here at the whatever annual celebrity golf tournament. We're here with Linda Little Linda, it has been a year since you captured everyone's hearts by being the sole survivor of the horrible playing crash that killed all the executives at your company. And you won America's hearts. The book about what happened to you is being turned into a movie.

And she's like, I know, I can't believe it. A little on me. And the woman's like, and now I hear you're writing a self-help book. And she says, yes, you know, I want to tell other women about my experience. She looks directly to camera. And she's like, help is. not coming. You have to learn how to save yourself. Cut to Linda driving away in a fancy luxury convertible. In the backseat we've got Sweetie Bird in her

cage sitting with her. She puts on Blondie one way or another, starts driving down the road, looks right to camera, and that's the end of the movie. Wow. Who was taking care of Sweetie Bird? I had that question midway. She was just never worried about Sweetie Bird? I guess not. When we saw Sweetie Bird before in the house I mean she was worried about Sweetie Bird but what could she do? I mean I guess she could have gotten herself rescued so that Sweetie Bird would die

But Sweetie Bird was like free roaming in the house So potentially Sweetie Bird could have You know found a way to Sweetie Bird had her own little A stash of yeah Survival story and Water Whoa I

Talk about twist and turns I did not know what was going to happen with this movie There was a point in the movie where I started to get really upset that it was going to turn into a narrative of like crazy lady who is in love with him and can't, you know, like I was like really going to get worried they were going to turn her fully into the villain and be like, crazy lady.

But I found myself very delighted with the turn it finally took of like she just ends up taking all the credit for being this like amazing. She's like, you know, what really kept me going was the memory of my colleagues who didn't make it and how like how I needed to be strong. and like just uses it all to empower herself and become rich and important and hot. Wow.

Okay. Okay. That was fun. It was fun. It's a really fun movie. I will say it is a little too long. In the middle there, I was watching it being like,

what's it going to be, you guys? But it's really fun. The performances are so good. I could simply not do it justice. Rachman Adams is incredible. Dylan O'Brien is incredible. It's really, really fun. Almost a whole movie is just them.

They really put work in. I've spent the entire day since looking at interviews of them together being like, are they just, do they love each other? Are they so charming? I bet they are. Just really fun. Worth a watch, I would say. It's just a fun ride.

Yeah. I want to see it. I will be seeing it. I love Sam Ramey. I love Sam Ramey. there is a lot of CG in this that doesn't look like great. Some friends of ours were

upset about that. I feel like Drag Me to Hell had a fair share of that as well. Yeah, and to me it's like it's really not meant to look real in any way. And also, to be fair, those are the ones where I'm like looking the least. So it doesn't

bother me because I don't want to look at it. But I do know some people wanted it to be a bit more practical in some of the gory. and stuff, which would have been cool, but doesn't bother me. Yeah. It depends. I feel like in Drag Me to Hell, the goat, the CGI goat in that is so funny.

Like, that should be CGI. Like, that's very fun. The boar is incredibly CGII, obviously. Like, silly animal over the, like, I'm into that, but I don't know Sam Ramey didn't direct Evil Dead Rise, but there's like some just, it wasn't the cheese grater part, but it was something like that. that was CGI that I was like, this like kind of contained injury should be practical. You shouldn't be CGIing like a wound on a face.

Like a knife through a tongue that moment. Well, that was Evil Dead 2013 and that was not CGI. Honestly, the hardest part of this movie for me was just the beginning. Yeah. Yeah. That was like truly the hardest part. Watching her be so sad and like essentially bullied. It was really tough.

Yeah. And just watching a man be so stupid so many times. Yeah. Just refusing to gain anything from his experience. Right. Right. Yeah. Insists on remaining deeply immature and never.

growing. Every time you think he's had a breakthrough, it's like, I don't know, he's a piece of shit. Yeah. And then she- Which is funny. Yeah. Oh my gosh. I feel like I, yeah, could really, I mean, how do we feel about her at the end? Her being like a self-help guru who's, like, lying about everything that happened. What's your reaction to this? I feel great about it. For me, it's like she's just become the man now. Right. Right. She's used the power, like, the power dynamic switched on the island and she took it and ran with it like how anybody would. She is using the tools of the patriarchy. Right.

To elevate her individual self. Yes. Great. Great. Great. Sure. Great. Sure.

Okay. Well, this is fun. Emily. It was fun. If you missed anything from that movie, I'm so sorry if I did. I would be shocked. I feel like you did such a good job.

I'm sure I did. Oh, well. Such a good job. Oh, well. Yeah, it was fun. It was fun. Very fun. Any voices?

Any voices? No, but I feel like when she gets, when she's like having her fight, that was the part that Joel was like, did you include when she said, fuck you, Bradley? I was like, no, but I will. Um, so...
