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 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 Hemley 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.
And guess what listeners, we are all speaking to you from
the very same room. We are sitting kitty corner, catty corner, catty corner surrounded by candles,
candlelight. Imagine this picture this picture. This picture. This picture. This close your
eyes. Take a deep breath. Picture this. Imagine snow is falling softly outside your window. Is it? The lights are down. The sun is down. Lights are off. It's nighttime one
might say. It's nighttime. Otherwise known as nighttime. Candles lit everywhere. The
scent of cinnamon wafs through the air. You've had one or two cocktails. Two. Two.
There's an open bottle of wine.
Plus some wine, yeah.
You are ready to hear about the haunting.
Picture this.
You are ready.
We did our little graveyard tour earlier today.
It was an absolute treat.
It was really fun.
It was really fun. It was so fun. None of us,
honestly, to be completely honest and forthcoming, had any idea what that was going to be.
We did not really compare at all other than mentally.
And it was great. It was super fun and it was fun to be in the graveyard. And if you want to
check that video out, it is on our Instagram as a reel. It was a little Q and A and that was very fun.
Which was so fun.
You guys had a great time.
You guys are so cool.
You guys are so cool.
We really love hanging out with you.
We in fact, it went on like a lot longer
than we intended to.
Cause we could have gone forever.
Could have gone forever.
It was very fun.
Here we are.
And I always just want to give a quick update
for anybody who watched that live stream.
We did mention that May had had a little stomach bug. She had been feeling sick. She'd been feeling pukey
Maybe it was the magic of the live stream. Maybe it was the magic of the ghosts in the graveyard. We came back afterwards and
Who's up and about smiling?
Happy as a clam a little baby may I can't believe it
Never happened. Oh, one was totally fine. The most miraculous
recovery that's ever been seen. We had a great little night. She's completely healed. Knock
on wood. Everything's great. When this episode comes out, she'll hopefully be baptized. She
will be baptized. Come hell or high water. Emily and I will have sworn an oath to raise
her in the Church of Jesus Christ. She will have sworn an oath to raise her in the Church of Jesus Christ. She was sworn an oath that you believe in Jesus Christ.
We will be taking the hand over heart.
Yeah, she was smiling, like biggest smile ever,
ear to ear.
She was great.
So happy.
Completely revived.
To see Samia and I.
And I think that that's due to her, you know what,
her brief moment appearing live on Instagram Live.
It brought her back to life.
That was it, that was it.
She had the camera shined on her and she said-
She healed herself for all of you.
Content performer, a real professional,
and we're so blessed.
We're so blessed.
We're so blessed.
And we're so blessed to be here together.
In Connecticut. In Connecticut,
turned off all the lights to try to get spooky. To really just be together is my favorite thing
in the world. Me too. It's very my favorite thing as well. It's very much my favorite thing.
much. My favorite thing. And what more appropriate of a movie could we be talking about in Connecticut than The Haunting in Connecticut? Came out in 2009
directed by Peter Cornwell written by Adam Simon and Tim Metcalfe. Metcalfe. In relation to Laurie?
What?
In relation to Laurie?
I'm not sure.
I presume yes.
Cousins.
Distant.
I presume yes.
Sure.
Starring Virginia Madsen, Kyle Gahlner,
Martin Donovan and Amanda Crew.
Amanda Crew.
Whoa, what an interesting
Combo.
Cast.
Interesting cast.
Gahlner's really having a moment now.
I'm surprised to know he was still up and at it.
Back in 2009.
Yeah, he's young in this.
He's like a teenager.
Whoa, and Amanda Crew, girlfriend of Hot Frosty.
Ooh, important factoid.
Partner, because they're adults.
I mean, adults can be boyfriend and girlfriend.
They've been together a long time.
Partner of Hot Frosty, who I saw at Whole Foods. In fact, a long time. Partner of Hot Frosty who I saw
at Whole Foods. In fact, I knew I was going to see Hot Frosty because I saw Amanda Crew
first and in my head I went, wait. I saw her and was like, I'm Amanda Crew. And then in
my head I went, wait, her boyfriend is someone really interesting. And then I did a double
take and I was like, it's Hot Frosty. I'd forgotten, but I knew my brain registered
enough that I wanted to know who her partner was, you know?
That I was gonna care, and then I was hot frosted
and I was really excited.
Was he clean shaven or did he have a beard?
No, beard, baseball cap, long hair.
He was really like...
Long hair.
Wow.
How long?
Like about how long it is in hot frosty.
Oh, okay.
Just like a little more...
A little shaggy.
A little shaggy, yeah, facial hair.
He was definitely trying to go a little incognito.
You know, it was, this was after the, exactly.
And this was right after Christmas.
So it was a big hot frosty time.
So yeah, that's a hot frosty madness.
Hot frosty madness.
Time.
The Haunting Connecticut streaming on Tubi.
Tubi, you wanna watch it?
My next door neighbor, Susie, who shout out Susie.
Shout out Susie. She's the one that told us about the ghost. We told her before this,
said can we do it in Hauntch in Connecticut? She said, I will have to watch it. I'll have to
watch that film. And I said, Susie, I don't think that you do need to watch it. I'm not sure. So,
Sammy, you tell me right now, do you think Susie, my next door neighbor, Susie...
No, I think I told Susie to her face she doesn't have to watch it because guess what?
I think I told her to her face.
Please don't do that.
Because I can tell you right now that The Haunting in Connecticut has a 17% on Rotten
Tomatoes.
17?
That's quite low.
A 33% on Metacritic and a 5.8 on IMDB, which for IMDB is also pretty low.
I mean on scale from six to seven, a 5.8, pretty low.
Pretty low.
That's going to be negatives.
The budget was 10 million.
It made 78.8 million.
Okay.
Oh, that's kind of a lot.
Not too shabby.
Or we just make money.
Everybody keep making them.
Some trivia for us.
This is quote unquote based on a true story. But Ed and Lorraine Warren were
the primary investigators on this case. Incredible. You love to hear their names mentioned.
So you know it's hogwash. Absolute hogwash. Fraud.
This is absolute hogwash. Frog.
The story was first featured in the novel In a Dark Place, the story of a true haunting,
written by Ray Garten.
Ray Garten subsequently disowned it and basically admitted that Ed and Lorraine pressured him
to say a bunch of spooky stuff.
How can Lorraine like... How can he live with those grifters?
Oh my God. But they just love each other so much.
Yeah, the power of love.
What could be wrong?
Sometimes it can be destructive.
It can be destructive.
Was there a gazebo in this movie?
Tell me right now.
Tell me honestly.
Tell me honestly, is there a gazebo?
I don't think there was.
I would have written it down if there was a gazebo.
Yeah. I've got my eyes down if there was a gazebo.
I've got my eyes open for gazebos at all times. But the final piece of trivia I have for us,
which simply can't be true, is that this is Jennifer Lawrence's favorite.
What? I'm all the things I thought you were going to say. It was awesome. This is her favorite one. Lawrence's favorite. According to IMDb which again is fallible and this is wait
who is Jennifer Lawrence's really arch nemesis.
Arch nemesis wrote this in. That is so funny. Where is she from? Is she from Connecticut? So badly. I don't know where she's from you guys
Okay, so I just had to go and get my driver's license renewed and now I have a Connecticut driver's license
Holy crap, and I feel like embarrassed about it. What does it look like? So I only have the
Temporary temporary one so I don't know fully what it's gonna look like
But I'm pretty sure you had a driver's license in not that many. I've Maryland, California, because I didn't
get one when I lived in New York, Maryland, California,
Connecticut, Connecticut. Yeah. But I gotta say, like, I always
I didn't realize I felt this way. But I had a connection to
my California driver's license. And then they take it. Oh,
right. They take it. Yeah, I don't like that ID and so I was like
Okay, bye
And I felt really sad to have to leave it behind and now I'm gonna have a Connecticut driver's license and I just don't
Feel good about it. I don't like that either. I don't like it. I like it one bit, but it is
Nonetheless where we are right now. It is where we are
right now. Yeah. Did we say that we're using different microphones than usual? I
don't think we said it, we'll say it. Because we should tell if you have not
noticed the audio quality might be a little different than what you're used to and that's
because we are in person using different mics that are not our normal professional microphones.
So apologies, but hopefully the added element.
A little je ne sais quoi of all of us being in the same room.
The electricity in the air of us all being together.
We'll make it four.
That electricity in the air will also make it four.
At least I feel like I'm doing like a much lower register.
Well, there's also children sleeping upstairs.
There's children sleeping upstairs.
And I'm also trying not to blow out this little mic.
And I'm also trying not to pick up feedback onto your mics.
And so I'm speaking really low, low and sweet.
But next week, we'll be back to our normal microphone.
So if you hate this and you have to skip it, we don't like to hear that, but we...
Don't tell us.
We understand, do what's best for you.
Always.
But we're gonna have a little fun here tonight.
We're gonna have a little fun here tonight.
I'm already having a lot of fun.
I'm already having a lot of fun.
And we're not gonna be watching the trailer
because too tricky.
Too tricky.
I hate trailers anyway, so I'm...
She does. She does. So what do you guys say? We get straight into this recap. Too too tricky too tricky. I hate trailers anyway, so I'm she does she does
So what do you guys say we get straight into this recap? That's a video, Connecticut. I say we do you let's do it
So we begin with some opening titles and I
immediately had to write down
Papyrus they're high respond
Unbelievable write down Papyrus. They're in Papyrus font. Unbelievable.
Is this before the SNL skit? Probably before. Yes, because it's too well, what year was Avatar? That was like right around the
same time. Because maybe this Ryan Gosling did an SNL skit
about how Avatar is fucking in Papyrus. I think Avatar was
before 2009. I think so too because I feel like-
So they should have known better. They should have known better. There's a whole skit about how stupid
this font is. This font is so funny. Any font that that regular people know by name should not be
used professionally. No, no. Let's end them all. We can't use Comic Sans, Helvetica, Times New Roman, Arial, Courier.
Courier is a good one, Papyrus. Are there any others? Wingdings.
Wingdings.
You know what I used to love when I was in elementary school was Curls MT.
You can't use Curls MT in your opening credits of your movie.
You know what is Times New Roman but slightly elevated and cooler?
Brooklyn.
Brooklyn, the text Brooklyn.
I'm a fan of Avenir.
I do like an Avenir.
I do.
Yeah, Avenir is nice.
Yeah, I do like an Avenir.
Yeah, Avenir is a go-to.
Sometimes I even do an Avenir condensed.
Yeah.
Well, that's the whole thing about Avenir.
It's got a lot of options.
There's a lot of options.
That's right. Also, side note, I watched The Haunting in Connecticut on my phone on the plane on
the way to Connecticut and I was taking notes while watching it on my phone. So it was so
small. It was minimized to a one inch by two inch square in the middle of my phone. I was
looking. I sat next to Sammy on the plane and I watched her watching this movie on like the space
of a fingernail.
It was so funny.
It was very funny.
So this is going to be a perfectly detailed.
I saw everything.
I got every detail.
I pitched to her.
I was like, well, do you want to take notes on my iPad?
But I should have been like, do you want to watch it on my iPad?
And take notes on your phone.
But I think the way you did it was absolutely perfect.
No, I loved it this way.
I think it added to the experience.
I said this during the Graveyard livestream.
I watched you get caught by a jump scare.
So it wasn't too small.
I wrote it in and I'll tell you when that jump scare was.
I just got a full body shiver just even imagining you getting a jump scare
on an airplane scared me half to death.
Scared her half to death.
Okay, so opening titles in Papyrus
and then we cut to a montage of sepia toned photographs,
old timey photographs.
Instantly transported. Instantly. Intercut
with what seems to be footage of blood being drained bodies. It's just kind of closeups of
blood flowing in a court seat type way. And we're realizing that these are photographs of dead
people because, and I can't remember what movie it was that we talked about this.
Where do they put all the blood when they drain it?
The autopsy of Jane Doe?
Was it the autopsy?
No, no, no.
Because it was something to do with old timiness of it is that photographs are really expensive.
So people often, the only time that they would take a photo of someone-
Oh, probably like a-
...be when they were dead.
Because it's like, this is our last chance to take this photo.
So a lot of photographs at this time and whatever, this is like 1800s or whatever. It was like,
this is a dead body. Because now we're like, well, last chance to take a photo.
Oh shit, we forced you to take a picture.
So yeah, okay. So we're seeing all these photos of corpses and
then we cut to an interview with
One of our main characters named Sarah. This is Virginia Madsen of sideways
And for a second, I thought this was gonna be a found footage movie because she's talking straight to camera and
Is being questioned by the
cameraman like why do you think this happened to your family she's saying I
don't know why do bad things happen to good people like the one of the great
mysteries of life who can say and then we cut back in time so we know something
bad has happened to Sarah and her family. Okay, so when she's being interviewed, it seems like modern day.
Yes. Okay. And then we get a chiron that tells us we're in I believe I didn't
actually write it down, but I believe it's 1987. Okay, okay. And we're
seeing Sarah driving her son Matt home from the hospital. He's feeling sick and we gathered that he
has a cancer diagnosis and he's had some treatment, chemo or something similar where he's just
like not feeling good.
How old is he? That's what I was gonna say. Thank you is like he's
he's probably 17. He's like almost out of the house teenager. Yeah. And they make it
home. And her husband, Peter and Sarah are talking about kitchen kitchen. Is this Calgoner?
Calgoner is a kid?
Calgoner is a kid, yes.
Peter and Sarah are talking in the kitchen.
Peter voices some concerns about her driving back and forth to the hospital.
Hospital's apparently very far away.
He's like, I'm scared you're going to fall asleep at the wheel, buying the hospital so
far.
And she's saying, yeah, I wish we could move closer to the hospital.
And he's like, so then what are we going to do? We're going to pay a mortgage and pay
a rent. And she's like, I don't know. Like, obviously, like nobody could have planned
for this situation.
One or the other, my dude, either we live far or close and pay for it. Yeah. Yeah. He's
like not looking at any. So it's Peter and Sarah Sarah and then what's this Matt is the sun's name solution oriented here Peter Peter if you could just like really get
your head and Peter's that guy what's his name? Martin Donovan? He's definitely that guy. He's
in some stuff. So are they it's the main thing about like them living in Connecticut or not is
the hospital not in Connecticut, they. Is the hospital not in Connecticut?
The hospital's in Connecticut.
They live in Connecticut, the hospital's in Connecticut, and they move into Connecticut.
And so this conversation ends with Peter saying, okay, let's move to Connecticut.
We'll move to Connecticut.
We're moving to Connecticut.
Yay!
What could go wrong?
Okay, yeah, I know this dude's face.
Oh yeah, what's he in?
He's a bad guy.
He's a real bad guy.
What's he saying? He's a bad guy. He's a
He's been something recently I looked at his IMDB and I was like, that's the that guy
That these things are reading looking for. Oh
He's in take 10. Yes. He is intended. He also in big little lies big little lies He's in The Apprentice, which I did see yes
he's in the mood to watch Donald Trump movie now, but the rest of the
stage, we're really good in it, and so is Jeremy Strong.
But okay, anyways, Mark Donovan.
So they decide, we're going to move to Connecticut.
While they're talking, we see some other kids running through the house. Matt has a younger brother named Billy and their two
cousins live with them, Wendy and Mary.
What happened to their parents?
There's like a brief interaction where Sarah says something like, oh, sorry, like things
are so crazy here. And Wendy, who is Amanda Crew, is like,'s like way better than that things at my house aunt Sarah
and so I kind of like they never really explored there's just a
Mention of like they've taken in their
leases
Because things are bad at their house. So Wendy and Mary are long for the ride and
You're not gonna like it. So we see we cut to them taking
Matt for some more tests at the doctor's office. These parts are always the most upsetting. It
reminds me of the exorcist, right? Is when there's all the like medical tests that are so upsetting and you're
just seeing this like teenager being poked and prodded and have this it's almost like the kind
of mesh that a bag of fruit has like a bag of oranges that like plastic mesh material when he's
going through an MRI machine they like place this weird mesh on his head. But all of it,
I don't know what it is medically, but it all just serves the purpose of it being like,
oh, I'm in an extremely unfamiliar, unnatural place and tests are happening. It's just really
unsettling and upsetting.
Scary, claustrophobic.
And him and Sarah are driving. they're driving back from the hospital from
Connecticut. They haven't moved yet, but they've decided they want to. And Matt is really sick and
asked her to pull over. He gets out of the car and he starts throwing up. And then she's so
like disheartened about the situation that she's, and at that moment she sees someone
putting up a for rent sign, hammering it into the ground.
Oh my gosh.
Kismet.
Absolute kismet.
And she pulls over, asks him.
This place where my son puked?
I have to get it.
Oops.
It's like the billboard that says, if you lived here, you'd be home by now.
Yes, exactly.
And she's like, let's just be home. This is it. He could have been puking in his own home. Yeah, here you'd be home by now. She's like let's just be home.
He could have been puking in his own home. Yeah, let's just be home right now.
Yeah, she's like we can't drive a foot further. I mean honestly, now that I said it out loud,
I'm like I actually do get that. It is nice to be in a home.
He should be home already. Yeah. And so she called out to the guy that's hammering in this
front sign and she says,
how much is it? And he says, I'll give you the first month free if I don't have to finish
hammering in this sign. And she basically rents it on the spot because she's just making
an executive decision of trying to make her son comfortable. Peter's a little mad. They have a phone conversation
when he's like, well, I wish we would have talked about this, but he gets it. He's like,
okay, well, we'll join.
First month's free.
First month's free. We'll join you shortly. You guys stay there tonight. We'll see you.
No, they just stick.
Yeah, they just move.
So they're going to have an extra apartment. They're not fully moving.
Yes, they're doing the mortgage and the rent thing.
Okay, they're doing mortgage and rent. I'm just trying to like keep track of
their finances.
But that there is
I'm trying to keep track of their possessions. I can't imagine being like,
oh, we'll just we'll just live here now.
Well, there is a lot of talk of the finances. The finances are stressful.
Yeah, as they would be also medical bills.
There's medical bills. And so there is like, you get the impression that Peter is like under a lot of stress and he's like, I guess I can take on
more shifts like, and she is kind of being like, I don't know what you want me to say, like nobody
plans for their son to have cancer. So like, we're in a two good points. Yeah, rock and hard place.
Yeah. She's like, I don't think that we have much of a choice here.
And so-
Is every horror movie actually commentary on our health insurance system?
Or commentary on fucking something.
Or capitalism.
Yeah.
Like literally is every single one actually about that?
There's a lot to be mined there for horror.
So Sarah and Matt stay there for the night,
but they don't obviously have any furniture yet. So they're both sleeping just in the living room
next to each other. And Matt wakes up in the middle of the night feeling nauseous, goes to throw up in
the bathroom. And then he hears something. Oh, Jesus. This kid has cancer. Can we not
haunt him as well? I would appreciate if we could haunt him. I, this kid has cancer. Can we not haunt him as well?
I would appreciate if we could haunt him.
I know, it's really rude.
Like ghosts out there.
Daisy, I know you wouldn't do this.
Daisy.
Just pay attention to the health status
of everyone in this house before you.
Last night, Sam and Eric's staying in a little,
a very cute little bed and breakfast nearby.
And I did wake up just wide awake
in the middle of the night. And was did wake up just wide awake in the middle
of the night. And was like, I'm not sharing my phone. I'm not opening my eyes because
maybe I'm awake because there's a ghost in there. They didn't want to know. They didn't
want to look at it.
Well, Emily is the only one out of us who has seen a ghost.
That's true. Don't let me think about it.
Which we won't talk about right now, but maybe another time.
That is true. I have. Also, Henley, to your point that the openness with which the people
here are like, oh yeah, there's a ghost, it really... Yeah. I mean, it's-
It's very East Coast-y.
It's very East Coast-y. And it's very, it's like, oh yeah, you're right. I guess there's
ghosts. It's just a matter of fact.
Yeah. The woman who works with Tim, the woman who works with him has said that in her house, there was a old woman
in the house and would come and put her hand on your chest when you're sleeping.
I don't like that.
No.
And it happened to her and her husband and her kids and her mom who was like
living in the house with them at one point.
Oh God.
My mom has seen a ghost.
Oh God.
A ghost, look, I really do respect you,
but I just, please, I don't.
Please don't touch me.
Please don't put your hands on my chest.
I really don't, even if your intentions are good,
which they probably are, I can't handle it.
I can't, I literally, I'm probably are, I can't handle it. I can't.
I'm too fragile.
I can't handle it.
I'm weak and I need all the help I can get.
Take us.
I'm weak.
I'm weak.
Grocery shopping is one of my least favorite things to do.
It's time consuming and it can be hard to find healthy options.
I struggle with this when shopping just for myself,
so I can't imagine how tricky it gets when you're feeding an entire family. That's why I love Thrive
Market. It's like having a personal guide to healthier living for me and for the whole family.
Emily and I just visited Henley and we got an up close and personal look at the daily routines
of a family of four and let me tell you guys,
there are a lot of snacks.
Thankfully, Thrive Market has an amazing feature
called the Healthy Swaps Scanner
to help you swap out sugar packed snacks
and stock up on brands like Annie's and Simple Mills.

Oh, okay. So here's something he's up in the middle of night. Sarah's still sleeping.
He goes to explore the source of this creaky noise he hears. And of course it leads him
to a basement. He descends these stairs. The audacity of a teenager. Looks in a, there's
like a floor length mirror down there there and he's looking in the mirror
Oh my god, I will not like it in a mirror in the dark sees something don't put a mirror in a basement
I don't put a mirror in a basement
I truly won't look in a mirror at night like I will not look into it is a scary mirror really scary and
Sure enough a figure appears behind him jump scare and it wakes him up. It's the next morning
he's laying
next to his mom again. And he writes it off as yeah, it's a nightmare. Oh, phew.
No big deal. Everything's fine. I just have cancer, but you know, other than that, everything's
fine. So the two of them now are going around the house doing like a little cleanup, waiting
for the rest of the family to
join. Sarah, they're just going through closets and throwing things away. She finds a little
nook under a seat where there are boxes of photographs of what we saw in the opening montage.
Old sepia corpses.
Old sepia dead body photographs.
Touching. old sepia corpses, old sepia dead body photographs. She's very spooked and
throws them all away and Matt goes down to the basement which looks exactly like
his dream from the night before. Rather than being scared he Mom, can this be my room?
No, Matt.
Matt?
Is he already haunted?
Matt?
Why would you make that decision?
Nobody wants the basement to be their room.
That's not normal, Matt.
That's not okay.
Sarah says, no, it's cold and weird down here.
It's cold and weird.
And he says, please, there's a bathroom down here so I can throw up and no one will hear
me.
I feel really bad when I have to throw up and I don't want people to know when I'm doing
that.
It would make me feel a lot better.
So that's devastating.
They're laying on thick.
They're laying on too thick in the script. I don't like it.
Devastating.
So of course she softens and says, okay.
No, sorry. It's still too cold and weird.
She says, okay, I guess we can clean it up down here. So they are looking around the
basement turning lights on and stuff and they see that there's a random door in the room that just won't
open. For the Keebler elves. For the Keebler elves. And they're like, it's probably fine.
Just a weird door. It's probably nothing. Oh no. And then at that moment, the rest of the family
arrives and they've brought all this furniture now. So we're like seemingly moving into this house.
This is our primary residence. This is our primary residence.
This is the primary residence for the time being and so we're all like carrying in couches, beds,
we're moving in and there is a moment where Sarah is talking to Wendy, Amanda Crewe,
and shows her her room and opens a door which has a mirror on the door and as she opens the door we
see another like figure behind them but they neither of them notice because they're looking
into the room but there's just a lot of figures in the backgrounds of things so we know there's
more going on here and the guy who was haunted renting it did he seem sketchy at all?
He seemed pretty excited to get it.
He was like, take it, take it.
Yeah.
Okay.
Off the market.
It's like, yeah, yeah.
First month free.
So now we see Sarah helping Matt clean up the basement.
She's mopping the floor.
He's trying to peer into this door that doesn't open. It's like a glass
door but it's completely dark on the other side so you can't see what's there.
Eww. No, I don't like that.
No, it's awful.
Oh, I was not pictured in a glass door and I'm quite upset.
It's a glass door. As he's peering into it, he can't see anything. And then he turns back to say something to his mom.
And it looks like she's just mopping blood all over the floor.
And so he has a big reaction of like,
oh my God, mom.
And she's like, what?
And she keeps mopping and he's like,
mom, the mop, the mop, like the blood.
And of course it snaps back to reality. And she's just
regular mopping. It's like, what are you? What's what Matt?
What's going on? He shakes it off and says, Oh, you know,
sorry, nothing, nothing. No big deal.
So I thought you were mopping a bunch of blood for a second. And
what's funny to think about is that blood really should be blued. You know,
like food.
blued
like food.
Like food. Exactly.
But it's also not like wood or blood. Blood. Blood. Blood. Blood.
Blood. Blood. Blood is different from wood.
Wood. Okay, hold on.
Wood. Good.
Blood.
Why is it blood? It's wrong.
Food.
Wood.
Food.
Blood is blood.
It must be the L.
Blood is blood.
It's definitely the L. But it should be fluid and it should be fluid.
It should be good and it should be food.
We made a mistake somewhere.
English is a good word.
It's a good word.
It's a good word.
It's a good word.
It's a good word.
It's a good word.
It's a good word.
It's a good word.
It's a good word.
It's a good word. It's a good word. It's a good word. It's a good word. It's a L, but it should be flued and it should be blued.
It should be good and it should be food. We made a mistake somewhere. English is crazy. Yeah.
I've dabbled in German here and there and been like, oh, this is so hard. And then at every step
of the way, it's like English is so much harder. Well, then it's mud. And that's you.
Mud is blood. Mud is blood. So much harder. Well, then it's mud and That's yeah you what is what is what you what?
My blood my blood should it should be my blood bell be L U D. Why is it?
Be L O O D that makes no sense
Because then there's brood which all you do is change the L to an R rude exactly which just like food
which all you do is change the L to an R. Brude, exactly.
Which is like food.
English is crazy.
Anyway, so from this point on,
if you could just call it blued.
I'll call it blued.
Okay.
Blued, so they go back upstairs for dinner
later that night and Matt is setting the table.
He places all the plates out one at a time.
And then as he turns back to the cabinet, all the plates out one at a time. And then as he turns back to the cabinet,
all the plates are back in the cabinet. He turns to his mom says, why did you put the
plates back? Obviously, she didn't. She looks at him confused. What are you talking about?
Then plates just dropped to the floor smash. And she's like, very kind about it. She's
like, Oh, don't worry, don't worry, don't worry. She's like, I didn't drop them.
I didn't drop the plates.
Like, I wasn't holding the plates.
I put them on the table, then they were back in the thing.
And then she says, you're not hallucinating, are you?
Because the doctor said if you're hallucinating,
we can't be in the trial anymore.
Whoa.
Okay, the stakes are here.
Whoa. The stakes have been set.
So he's like, yeah, no, obviously, I'm
That's a really good it's always interesting to see how horror movies deal with that question of like why I tell person wouldn't believe
You or why you say what's happening. Yeah, that is a we haven't
seen this one yet. I don't think is that you can't be in the medical trial. Yeah. At some
point we find out yeah, that he's like part of this study trial that he's on these. I
don't know this medication that might work if he doesn't have hallucinations. That sucks
because like yeah, because even if he's like, listen, like, I know, I'm not hallucinating. The risk is like, I will die. I literally would my die.
Yeah, it's a lot to put on Matt's shoulders. So that night he goes to bed, and he's having dreams
slash maybe visions, they're feeling really real of a looks like a doctor carving lettering or runes into human corpses
just like covering them full body.
I've never had that dream.
I never had that dream.
And we're seeing as he's carving all these letters into these bodies as close up on one
of the corpses faces eyes closed. And this
doctor pulls the eyelid off. And we're looking at him holding the eyelid eyelid and then
a pair of scissors cuts off the eyelid. Really gross. Yeah, he wakes up and is like, Oh,
thank God. Just a dream. Thank God. Just a dream.
Next day, they have another doctor appointment.
Doctor says, you know, no hallucinations, right?
That's part of the deal.
Nobody's having any hallucinations.
Both of them like, yeah, absolutely.
We're Gucci.
And they go home after this appointment.
And Matt is looking a little out of it, rubbing his head.
As they get to the foyer of his house, he leans his hand onto this pillar and it pushes
through as if it's made of putty and into this very fleshy, this like nasty substance.
And he pulls his hand out
and it's covered in like red goo and maggots.
Sounds like a hallucination, my friend.
It sounds a lot like a hallucination.
And he shakes it off.
His mom's like, are you okay?
He's like, yeah, I'm totally fine.
No hallucinations here.
He goes down to his basement room and he's like, oh God okay? He's like, yeah, I'm totally fine. No hallucinations here. He goes down to his basement room
and he's like, oh God, oh God, oh God,
things are really bad.
The mystery door opens, swings open.
Nope.
Swings open and guess what?
It's an autopsy room.
Oh.
There is that like metal table, operating table, and all the little drawers that you put the
corpses in and pretty barbaric looking. It looks like, again, old-timey. Don't ask me
the exact time period. It just doesn't look current.
Not up to date.
It's not up to date.
It's not up to code.
It's not up to me and the health codes. code. It's getting an F when the health inspector
comes. He's kind of getting, seeming like not himself
in this place. Something is coming over him. He's looking a little, I don't know, happy
to be in there. He's not freaked out.
He's a doctor ready to cut off eyelids?
Maybe.
He just feels that.
It looks like he feels at home there.
And then Billy, his little brother, he's probably eight because all kids are eight.
Runs downstairs, finds him in there and he's like, whoa, this is so cool.
Oh my God.
I can't believe this.
It's not Billy.
It's not cool.
And he's like, Billy, why don't you lay on the operating table?
Oh, it could be pretty cool if you laid on the operating table.
Billy lays and he starts spinning him and spinning him and spinning him on the wheels.
And Billy pretty immediately is like, stop, this is scary.
I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared.
And we see Matt just kind of enjoying this moment of scaring his little brother and he's like
repeatedly spinning him. Billy is very scared and then eventually Peter, the dad, walks in or
and finds them there and is like, what the fuck does he mean? He doesn't say that. But he's like,
this room is... This is scary. I don't like now. Yep. And first he goes outside
to talk to Sarah and is like, Did you fucking know about this? And Sarah's like, um, yeah.
And we did see a little moment where her and the guy had a little conversation that we
didn't hear but she at first had said, like, I found a place
that was almost perfect. And so she did.
I think like it's almost perfect. The one reason why it's not perfect is they used to
do autopsies in it.
There's a lot of medical equipment here.
Three bed, two bath, one autopsy room.
So Peter confronts her and says, I can't believe you told me about this, which like,
they're absolutely for sure. That's the first thing I know. That's absolutely the first
thing you're showing the other person like there is this room here too. We should just
acknowledge that.
He's like, I can't believe you lied about this. Like we don't lie to each other. And
she says, Well, how about when you were drunk and all
you did was lie? Oh, that's which is a really low.
I hear below. Yeah, like, we've done with some stuff. He immediately is like, I don't
do that anymore. Like, you know how hard I've worked to not do that, which is like unbelievable
that she would throw that in his face if that's the case. Like really fucked up on Sarah's part here. So they have their family dinner in the house.
And Peter basically is like, okay, elephant in the room.
There's a lot of ghosting.
Used to be a funeral parlor. This was a funeral parlor. And yeah, it's creepy and weird. But
at the end of the day, it's just bricks, wood, linoleum, whatever.
It's a house, unlike any other house.
It's fine, we're all fine.
It's creepy, but it's fine.
So tonight as a family, we'll watch Six Feet Under
on episode one, all the way to the end,
and we'll learn what it's like.
We're gonna watch it all tonight.
So as a family, they're like, okay, we're moving past it. It is what it is. It's like, all right, let's have dinner.
Everybody hold hands. We're saying grace. And everyone reaches for each other's hands.
And as Matt holds hands with Wendy and Billy, he is overcome with a vision of the past. We presume in this exact home, a seance happened
at this table and we're seeing faces, old timey faces.
Made out of papyrus? Papyrus faces.
Absolutely papyrus faces. Sepy toned papyrus faces. Absolutely, papyrus faces. Sepy-toned papyrus faces. They have a Ouija board in papyrus.
Yep.
There's a seance happening, cameras spinning around.
We're seeing everybody and he is taking the place of a young boy that seems to be the
focus of this seance.
We're just getting little snippets of it.
We don't know exactly what's going on. We're hearing little echoes of Matt's mom and dad
trying to call out to him, Matt, Matt.
He can't break the spell.
He's just seeing this glimpse of the past.
And as he's in this like other guy's body,
we're hearing the old timey people referring to this
kid as Jonah. So they're like, Jonah, Jonah, as he's hearing
like, Matt, Matt. And then eventually he wakes up comes back
to the present moment. And we see that he's gripping Wendy and
poor Billy's hands so hard. Billy, my god is just like
holding his hand like, oh my god, ow, ow,
ow, ow, ow. Billy gets the fucking bears the brunt of Matt's, you know, spiral. Yeah, yeah.
Billy is just like, Come on, man. He's like, you're breaking my fingers here. Wendy, Amanda
Crew is freaked out by what she's seen. She pulls Matt aside after dinner, is like,
hey, I want to talk to you. What's going on? Is there anything I can help with? And they
talk about some childhood memories. This is his cousin. And so he's like, oh, you remember
that poem? We just talked about the like, when I was walking down the stairs, I met
a man who wasn't there
Do you guys remember that poem? This is a poem that I remember
When I was walking downstairs I met a man who wasn't there I saw the man again today
I wish I wish he'd go away. Oh, no. Oh god. It's a very creepy poem and then he says another poem about two
very creepy poem and then he says another poem about two dead brothers. I can't remember. But he's reciting all these creepy poems. And Wendy is like, Matt, you're scaring me
with all these creepy poems. And she's like, she'll never understand. Like nobody understands
what's happening. And then he goes for treatment back at the hospital the next day. We cut
to that and we see one of the other patients at the hospital getting
treatment. Next to him is Elias Kotias, who I just got a shout out. He's from David Cronenberg's
crash. He looks basically exactly like Robert De Niro. Whoa. But it's a good way to look.
It's a good way to look and crash. Oh my God, did crash one day. Oh my God.
I know. I'm like scared of doing. I know exactly what crashes. Crash is one of the ones I Wikipedia.
Oh, I don't.
It's so good. I don't even think it's that bad. It's just like people fucking cars.
Oh, good. Oh, I know this guy's face.
I know this guy's face.
Because it's Robert De Niro's face.
Yes. But he often has a mustache that Robert doesn't have. He must have
structural defects on his face. Yeah, he has structural defects.
So Elias Kotias is another cancer patient in the ward. So I think they're getting chemo. So basically sitting next to each other for a long time just chatting and Matt says something like under his breath,
like, you know, I've been seeing things. Have you ever seen anything? Analyze C.T.S. very
quickly. Like, don't ever tell anybody you're seeing anything. You'll be booted from here
real quick.
I need to know why.
Exactly.
If in fact we are all actually having hallucinations, then perhaps there's something wrong with
this drug trial?
Yeah.
Well, so what Elias says is because we are closer to death, the wall between the living and the dead has become thinner.
And so we can see things that they can't. And they're not going to understand if you
tell them that's happening. It's not hallucinations, it's just that we're closer to death. Wait,
but then the doctors would not be able to understand that. So they would think like,
okay, you are.
Everyone's having these because everyone's close to death,
but doctors just think they're hallucinations.
I don't know.
I have a lot of questions.
But I guess as a 17 year old, you wouldn't.
You'd be like, wow, someone who is experiencing things
the same way that I am, what a blessing.
And Elias gives him his card and he says,
like call me if you need anything.
And it says, like, call me if you need anything.
And it says, Reverend Popescu.
What?
I'm going to call him Reverend Pope.
And like, Pope is the first letters of his last name.
No, please call him Reverend Popescu.
Popescu.
I really would like Reverend Popescu.
And he's full name.
You're going to be popular.
Popular.
Sammy hasn't seen Lick It yet.
That's a damn shame.
I haven't.
Did you see Nikki Glaser's Popular? She didn't do that. to be popular. Sammi hasn't seen Lick It yet.
That's a damn shame.
Did you see Nikki Glaser's popular?
She did do that at the Golden Globes.
I just watched Conclave the other night, Joel and I.
I watched it too.
Timmy watched it too.
We watched it.
We watched it.
Conclave's so good.
It's so good.
I told Tim, Tim was like, why do you want to watch it so badly?
And I said, Sam told me that it's like Gossip Girl.
It's Gossip Girl.
I was like, that was all you could know.
I can't remember where it is,
but he's like, I'm in quarantine.
I can't go out there.
But if you told me what was happening out there,
that would be pretty-
You could tell me.
Obviously you could tell me.
You could tell me what's going on.
I loved it.
Conclave, I was on the-
Conclave, shout out. Edge of. I loved it. Conclave, that was on me.
Conclave, shout out.
Edge of my seat.
Shout out Conclave.
And do please call him Popescu because that is a really funny name.
Popescu.
So...
It's also really funny to give your business card to a 17-year-old.
No, just give me a business card to anyone is so funny.
It is funny.
Do priests have business cards?
No.
No.
Tim doesn't have a business card.
Maybe he's not like a good enough priest, I don't know.
Can I get Tim business cards for his birthday this year?
Yes.
Oh my gosh.
They could say big mustachioed priest on them.
Big mustachioed priest.
I have been in, I think all of my jobs
I've had to have a business card
and all of my jobs I've thought,
what shall I do with this card ever? Who shall
I give this to? Why would I ever want them?
The number of people I've given a business card to is absolutely less than 10.
Yeah, me too. I was always forced to get business cards though.
Yeah, I have them.
Oh, I don't have them.
I don't use them.
I don't have them.
I've had them.
You don't need them.
I don't think I do.
It's an age before Google. You can Google anyone. Yeah, that's true. You don't need them. I don't think I do. It's an age before Google. You can Google anyone.
Yeah, that's true.
You don't need their contact info.
We don't do.
But also an excellent scene in American Psycho.
That's true because you have to compare the weight and the scent and the color.
And the color.
The off-white versus the ivory.
Okay, so he's got...
Popescu's card.
Popescu's card.
And we cut to Peter driving home from working his long
hours. He's really...
What's Peter's job again?
It doesn't really say. I think some sort of contracting. He's like building and I think
he like runs a contracting.
Stressful. I know that.
It's stressful.
He's working too much.
He's working really long hours to make ends meet. And on his way home one night,
we see him stopping outside in like a bar parking lot,
just looking longingly inside at all the people drinking.
Oh, he's just like at his wit's end.
That's devastating.
Yeah, that's really hard.
Back at the house, we see Matt having a vision of Jonah.
He's playing hide and seek with the kids for a second,
and then he goes into a room looking for them.
Bit of a jump scare, Jonah runs past him.
He's getting another real-time vision of the past
of what seems to be Jonah trying to run away from home,
we presume.
Jonah lived here at some point, we're not sure.
But immediately the doctor that cut off the eyelids
that we recognized from earlier is chasing after him,
grabs him, is dragging him back to the door.
Jonah's trying to escape this place.
How old is Jonah?
About Matt's age. 17 too.
Yeah, like 17.
And so Matt is kind of running to follow this vision as Jonah is being dragged through the
house.
He's running to different parts of the house trying to help him or just like see what's
happening.
He has this kind of pull to whatever's going on. And of course ends up in the
autopsy morgue room. And now it appears to be filled with bodies
on every shelf or gurney. There's just a corpse filled
with corpses. And Matt is looking around in horror as all these bodies are strewn about.
They all have the same carvings in them as he saw earlier.
Not good.
Then the door to the autopsy room slams behind him. He's now locked in there. He's jiggling
the handle, trying to get out, calling calling for help but nobody's coming and then all
of the corpses reanimate surround him make a circle around him. They're like coming closer and closer
to the eye towards him. It seems like no their eyes are wide open, unblinking wide open eyes.
And he's getting so scared and he's screaming for. And then he started shoving them back. He's like,
get away from me. Get away from me. Get away from me. Cut to
reality. Wendy and Mary and Billy are in there trying to
help him. So the ground once again, Billy is like looking so
scared of him now. Billy has just had three run-ins now where Matt has not been
his normal brother. This does shake up Matt a lot. He knows something is obviously really wrong.
Then he comes to and realizes that. He comes to and realizes.
And he sees that it's Billy on the ground and stuff.
He sees it's Billy on the ground and he says,
I have to call Popescu.
I gotta call Popescu.
And so he calls him and he goes to meet
Reverend Popescu at his church.
Oh brother.
Church of what?
Latter-day Saints.
What domination are we talking?
Seems Catholic. I'd say it seems Catholic.
So Father Popescu.
He calls him Reverend. So Episcopalian.
You know what? Beats me.
Could be a lot of Presbyterian. What's the dominant religion in Connecticut?
Probably Catholic, I would guess, but it could be Presbyterian. I don't know. It probably is Presbyterian up in the Northeast because it's very like...
Wasp.
Yeah. And like Anglican, right? Isn't that kind of the deal?
White, Negro, Saxon, Protestant. I will say Episcopalian is a much smaller sect only because
they're the more liberal, They're like the liberal Catholics.
I think Presbyterians are relatively liberal as far as Christianity is concerned.
Yeah, they are.
So he has called Reverend Popescu and meets him at his church and they have a little heart
to heart where he's talking about, you know, this is crazy. I'm seeing all these things
Pupescu is like totally same boat. I
Get it. And he says girl girl girl you want to believe
But he says well you've got dudes you got to find out what they want. Oh obviously
Obviously, these are spirits at unrest and all you need to do is find out what
they want. Mostly what they want are antibiotics. They're just like penicillin. How are you alive
in the time of medicine? Give us some penicillin. Here at TSDW, we love love, and we believe love

Matt going home later that night and down to his basement, he takes off his shirt. He's doing sit-ups and we see that his skin is really burned and they had said that the chemo
or treatment that he's doing will like kind of appear as a sunburn. It's like clear that
he's in pain and weak and he like tries to do sit-ups. He's like, he's like, once I stay strong, he's 17.
It's like, I want to care about fitness
and he's doing these sit ups
and the way that it's framed,
he's going like up and up and up.
And then someone is just in the frame.
He was like face to face with a presumably ghost.
And rather than, I mean, he does like, it startles him, obviously,
but rather than immediately running away after this conversation with Papsku, he's like,
steals himself and looks this ghost. We don't see eyes. It's like almost as if it's just a bloody melty tar face.
Oh, no.
There are no features basically at all, but it's also very shadowed, so we can't really
see.
There you go. That sounds very chic.
This is very chic.
It looks very chic.
It's very bloody melty tar, but very chic version of that.
Like tar like Cate Blanchett's tar.
Very chic tar. Extremely chic. She's a version of that like tar like Cate Blanchett She's
And so he asks cate blanchett
Tar what do you want? What do you want from me? And
We're not seeing the answer but there is a moment of pause like he's not being immediate this
Spirit doesn't seem to be attacking him
So it's nice to be asked what you want.
Yeah, but this spirit slash ghost can't speak,
but it does seem like he's kind of like,
whoa, what do I want?
What do I want?
We see the kids coming home from whatever they were doing,
the youngest kids, Mary and Billy,
who are both about
seven or eight, coming home with Sarah. And they see in the kitchen, all of the kitchen furniture,
chairs, tables, everything stacked on top of each other in a very creepy way and they are looking around and on the other side of the furniture
we see Matt clawing at the wall so hard that his fingernails have fallen off and there's
just like blood pouring down his hands.
Eww.
Cut to Sarah and Peter taking Matt back to the doctor being like, so yeah, he's hallucinating.
Doctor saying, you really should have told me about this. and Peter taking Matt back to the doctor being like, so yeah, he's hallucinating.
Doctor saying, you really should have told me about this. It could mean that the cancer
is spread to his brain. Oh, God. Like, don't fuck around with this, basically.
Obviously, this is extremely stressful for the family. They go home. Sarah's crying. Everyone's
so upset. Like, oh my God, this is so bad. Everything's so bad.
This is awful. And Matt has this moment of trying to carry the weight of everything.
And he looks at Sarah in the eyes and says, Mom, if I die, I just want you to know it's
not your fault. Oh, Jesus. It's really heartbreaking. She's crying. She
like goes up to her room and sobbing. She's holding her rosary, praying. And then she
throws the rosary and she's like, you can't have him. You can't take him. And we see.
This is my favorite part of the movie. We see Peter downstairs. They're both basically having their own emotional moments where they're processing things in
their own way.
She's throwing her rosary and he grabs his electric guitar and he's just like shredding.
He's shredding so hard.
He's just like.
And this is where Joel would say, that's what it's like to be a guy.
That's what it's like to be a guy.
And he grabs the guitar by the neck and he starts smashing and smashing it.
So they're both obviously.
One is so lame and one's so fucking cool.
This is where I can't help but just think about how funny it is to be an actor.
So these are just adults having to do this in a room while people watch.
For a movie that will ultimately be quite bad, yeah
The next day we see Matt and Wendy
Taking care of the other kids Mary and Billy and they're playing hide-and-seek again. We've seen them do this before
I think at this point I'm not letting Matt watch the kids. Wendy does seem a little bit hesitant. She's pretty creeped out by him. But then at the same
time, obviously, really feels for him and wants to be supportive and kind to him. So you do see Wendy
struggling with the reality of the situation versus the other reality of the situation.
She's trying to step in as much as she can as the primary babysitter, but that's there
and trying to hang out. She's like, okay, we're all clean, and seek. And Matt and Wendy are gonna be the seekers
and the younger kids, Billy and Mary are hiding.
And we see Mary find a crawl space under the sink.
Hide and seek is scary.
I don't wanna play hide and seek every time.
And Billy finds a dumb waiter.
No.
Let's burn those to the ground. Oh no,. Excuse me. Mary climbs up to the attic.
She finds the attic worse than a crawl space. Obviously, we are getting very bad vibes as
Billy's in this dumb waiter. He's giggling to himself. I found the best place. The camera
is looking at him in the face and we see a shadowy figure crouched
behind him in the dumbwaiter. Mary is up in the attic, walking around looking for a place
to hide and her foot sinks through what seems to be a soft spot in the ground, but then she's kind of trapped like she gets one of her legs caught
in a hole in the ground. As Billy turns and hears and sees the ghost behind him, he's
screaming. Wendy runs up, finds him, pulls him out of there, and then hears Mary screaming. They run up to
the attic. They pull her out of there, but the place where her leg has fallen through,
there is a box and a book full of photographs that they pull out. We see that it is more
photos of all the dead people from the beginning.
Old timey corpses.
Why so many dead people?
Also, all of this is just, you know what?
Silas, we play hide and seek a lot.
Silas thinks to this day, he's three and a half,
he still thinks that if he can't see me,
You can't see him.
I can't see him.
So that means he will just run to
a corner and put his head in the corner and go, I can only see him. And it's like, I'm
always like, I'm invisible. I'm like, but you've got to hide, like I can see you. But
literally every time we do a movie where we talk about, because this comes up, like this
hide and seek, it comes up. I'm like, I don't want to teach him how to play.
Like there's something inside of me.
Let him continue thinking that that works.
Exactly.
Don't ever teach him to hide in real places.
Exactly.
Because he'll never figure it out on his own.
I know.
But I'm always just like, okay, you can keep doing that.
Well, especially as a three-year-old,
thank God he doesn't know what hiding actually is.
He's small. He has no- He doesn't know what hiding actually is. He's small
He has no fucking anywhere if he knew no, but he literally just goes into the corner
He has the closest corner wherever the corner is he just goes to the corner
But then he's like they can't find me and I'm like, yeah, I literally I can fully see
But anyway, all this is saying that um, he'll never learn how to play hide and seek.
Don't ever get a dumb waiter.
Oh, well we'll certainly never have a dumb waiter.
Never get a dumb waiter.
So they go downstairs, they take this book and box downstairs that they've just discovered.
Billy and Mary I think go to bed.
And so it's like Wendy and Matt that are doing their little detective work, examining their findings.
And they open the box, Matt opens it and he pulls it.
It's filled with these things that to me looked like wood chips.
And he pulls one out and it's like a small little either leather.
Eyelids. Eyelids. They're fucking eyelids. They're
like dried out nasty like calcified and he realizes it because he's had the visions of
the cutting off of the eyelids so he knows and Wendy turns to him and asks him what are those
he's like, I have eyelashes as well.
They really?
Yeah, they do.
Sick.
But it doesn't look, you know, you wouldn't necessarily look straight at them and be like,
oh, a bunch of eyelids.
Like they look like petrified almost.
Like leather.
Yes, they look like leather.
He pretty quickly realizes what they are and kind of throws them back in.
It's like, oh yeah, whatever.
Just to protect Wendy from it, he's like, oh yeah, who knows what that is?
Nobody knows.
None of us will ever know.
In this photo album that they find, there is a picture of Jonah with his head leaned
back and like a strange substance flowing out of his mouth vertically as if he's throwing
up something that is defying gravity, like a wicked type thing.
Like your rainbow straight out of the mouth.
Yeah, exactly.
And so Wendy's like, could they have faked something like this at this time?
Like, it's clear these are from these photos are from 100 years ago.
Was it something that they would do then?
And Matt pretty quickly fesses up.
He's like, he's at first being KG and Wendy
gives him this look like, please give me a chance. Like, I know something's going
on. I want to help you. Just try me. Just let me in on this, please. And Matt looks
at her and is like, okay, I've seen this kid in these photos every day since we've moved in here." And she's like,
Oh my God, Wendy. Wendy, you can absolutely go fuck yourself. Wendy, how dare you.
That is the worst possible response. She's like, she's like, you can trust me. You can
trust me. To then hear something. Okay. If I moved in, okay, if I can visit you here, Henley.
Of course.
And we happened upon a box of old photographs that just clearly came with the house. And
you went, whoa, I've seen this face every single day since I moved in.
I would take that seriously. I would absolutely be like, well, that's something
of note.
Well, that's the thing that's crazy about all of these horror movies. Anytime this happens,
it's as though Matt has been displaying behavior that is so wild and crazy and erratic and
totally narcissistic and only for himself.
It gets written off because it's like, well, he's in this treatment that's making him hallucinate
also.
But why would he be hallucinating this person that we now have a photograph of?
Also, he wouldn't laugh at someone like hallucinating someone due to their chemotherapy.
Like you would laugh if someone is like clearly always doing things to like support themselves.
That there's like just like a narcissistic thing that was just like-
I guess she's like a teenager as well.
Yes, but to be fair, she does come around pretty quick. He's immediately really offended and says...
As he ought to be.
Yeah, as he ought to be.
He's like, I share this with you as vulnerable.
That's what you wanted me to do. You said to try to let you in,
this is what's my reality right now. And she says, okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Let's dig into this a little deeper and see what we can find out about this kid. And then we get
a research montage. She says, Let's go to the library. Oh my god, that's my fucking
like, they know more. And she finds out because you know, they have the address to this funeral home
that they live at and they're like,
let's just see in the history of newspapers,
if anything's ever happened here.
So there's this really silly research montage
where it seems that Matt is doing absolutely none of the work
and Wendy is just glancing at articles
and learning everything she needs to know. So she's like, let me tell you what I learned
about in this article. And she says, so the owner of the mortuary, Aikman Jonah was his
assistant. And Jonah had a gift and Aikman would exploit that.
They wrote about that in the paper.
They wrote about that in the newspaper?
Definitely did.
They wrote about it in the newspaper.
They wrote a lot about this relationship between the man who had the mortuary and his sister.
I'm just going to look at the microfiche.
Yeah, you got to look at the microfiche.
They're talking about it constantly in the microfiche.
Apparently, there was this seance that happened.
So it was written about in the paper.
Uh-huh.
Written about in the paper where Jonah was meant to be channeling this family's, I don't
know, son or whatever. The funeral home director put a lot of pressure on Jonah. It wasn't his dad, it was his assistant.
So he, I don't know, just not a good situation.
And she says that Jonah started regurgitating ectoplasm.
Ectoplasm, get out of here.
And all I could think about was a corny weaver.
And still all I can think about is South Park.
There's an episode where I think it's Kyle's dad that's jerking off so much and just comes
all over the whole room. His wife walks in and is like, Oh my God, what happened in here? And he
was like, Oh, it was ghosts, the ectoplasm. The ectoplasm is everywhere.
Wait, that's what I should have told you when you asked me what was in my freezer.
It's ectoplasm.
Ectoplasm.
It's ectoplasm.
Guys, it was bacon grease. It was bacon grease.
Yeah, we found frozen white goo in my freezer.
And it was ectoplasm.
It was ectoplasm.
It was also bacon grease. It was also ectoplasm. It was also bacon grease. And Matt is getting flashbacks
of this seance that happened where things got out of control. And while Wendy is looking
at the historical records on the microfusion, she says everybody died and Jonah was never
seen again. Cause of death unknown. Wait, after what?
The seance. Oh, I see. Okay. Oh shit. That's bad. And she also talks about how in
construction of the main highway to the town that they're in. It was across a graveyard and they had to excavate a hundred
bodies to put the road there and all of those bodies went missing. And so none of them have
ever been seen again. And that happens to be the road that they drive back and forth
on to go to the hospital for Matt's appointment.
That's not good.
So Matt now says to Wendy, I've got a guy who might have a tip.
We go back to Pepescu.
We're like, OK, we're in an overheads here.
Bring him the box of eyelids.
And he's like, yeah, these are eyelids.
Yeah, it's just fucked up.
You don't want to hear that.
You don't hear confirmation of that. Yeah, he's yeah, these are eyelids. Yeah, it's just fucked up. I didn't want to hear that. You don't want to hear confirmation of that.
Yeah, he's like, these are eyelids.
And this Dr. Aikman was doing necromancy, which is a really, absolutely foul frowned
upon form of magic where he probably wanted to assert his power over these dead bodies
and would have desecrated them, cut off their eyelids
so that he could control them.
They're probably buried around the property where you live.
Probably. The bodies.
The bodies of these hundred people
that were displaced from their graves
when the freeway was built or whatever.
He might've moved those bodies closer to home.
So the doctor took all the bodies?
Possibly. At this moment,
Sarah comes home and finds Wendy and Matt and this reverend chatting.
Fair enough, freaks out.
It's like, who are you? Get the fuck out of my house? Mm-hmm strange man
He's like I'm I'm a pesky
I'm
Pesky that not ease your nerves doesn't not ease your nerves to know that I'm Reverend professor not a bit not a bit my man
We see in her room Wendy's going to bed. There's like drawings, paintings
of birds on the walls. There's a lot of shadows of she gets. There's a bird scare where she's
sleeping and there's just shadows of birds flapping their wings as if she's being attacked by birds.
Another reason to get rid of birds. And we see Sarah's looking around the house, like
everyone's a little creeped out. Everyone's on edge. Sarah's peeking in room after room.
And then as she opens one of the doors, there's just a man with no eyes, like black eyes.
And this was the guy that got me. I like flew out of the seat and they were really scary.
And then, I don't know, she just goes up to her room. On the second floor is where most of their
rooms are, except for obviously Matt, who's in the basement. But Wendy and the kids and Sarah
are all on the second floor. Did she see the eyeless man?
Yes, but then she took a second look and was like, oh, I'm going to do whatever. Okay.
Oh, no. I'm action whatever. Okay. Oh, no
I'm action fit. Hmm
She goes up and tries to go to bed and everybody's trying to go to bed and then we hear Peter coming home from the bar
Oh, no
Wasted and he's screaming. He's like, that's like it's really upsetting. He says, oh hello
It's really upsetting. He says, Oh, hello. Everybody home? Yeah, I fucking know you're home because all the fucking lights are on. You think we're rich? Do you think we just
pay for whatever? Like electricity? You think it grows on trees? I don't think so.
And then he's like walking through the house smashing all the light bulbs there are lights
on and Sarah is grabbing each of the kids and holding each
other in a closet and she's like, it's okay, it'll be okay. He's just, you can't obviously
like talk to him right now. He's on his right mind. And after he smashes all of basically
all of the light bulbs in the house, still the light in the house flickers in a crazy way that's literally impossible
at this point. And then because Popescu, before he left, gave Sarah his card, obviously.
Well, he's got a lot of these cards.
He's got a lot of the cards.
And now all these lights are flickering in the house when truly there's no possible way
for electricity
to work because it's just shards of broken light bulbs.
Sarah admits like, okay, something's up.
Let's call Reverend Popescu.
So she calls him in, says, okay, something's definitely up.
He's got his little briefcase of tools, is feeling around the house.
He's looking to see where the negative energy is coming from
It's obvious coming from the basement
Where these people's eyelids were cut off bedroom. He's like, oh, I'm actually feeling it a lot down here. I'm like, yeah, no shit
Mm-hmm. That's good. No, budget where the mortgage is. Yeah
So
He's calling out to the spirits. He says we're here to release you like a bird.
We would like to release you.
We've seen this kind of creepy bird scene earlier.
I'm like, can you say birds?
We don't know their feelings about birds.
Bring up birds right now.
All the doors in the building start slamming.
There's an incinerator in this room
and Matt is starting to have like a seizure.
Oh no.
There are shadows of birds flying all around.
It's very like chaos, crazy.
And Pupescu is like,
we just got to get his bones out of the incinerator
and then we can like free this spirit.
And so Pupescu is like fishing in the incinerator and we see a little pile of
bones that he grabs and pours into this little satchel. And he's like, okay, we just got
to get him out of this house. We got to free the spirit. The spirit is trapped in the house.
That's going to be okay if we just get him out of here. And so, he grabs it, goes outside.
Sarah's outside with him. It's like, what's going on? He says, it's all going to be okay now. Everything's going to be okay if we just get him out of here. So he grabs it, goes outside. Sarah's outside with him. It's like, what's going on? He says, it's all going to be okay now. Everything's
going to be okay.
Sure. Surely it will.
It's like, there might be some aftershocks, like an earthquake, because there has been
a pretty evil entity here. Now that it's gone, you might feel a little bit of the residual evilness,
but in general, everything's fine and good.
And he gets into his car, he's like,
I'm a drive-by boy.
Does he have the bones with him?
He's got the bones with him.
And Sarah's leaning over his driver's side window
and says, are you okay to drive?
And he says, you know, we're all in God's hands.
Oh God, Popescu, oh no, Popescu.
He drives off.
Okay, straight into a brick wall.
This is interesting.
Usually you don't get to drive off, so.
And usually you wouldn't take the haunted bones with you.
And we hear Sarah hears Matt screaming inside the house. Oh no. Runs inside sees
Matt with the same runes slash lettering carved in his body. Oh god. He's like pouring blood.
She runs takes him to the hospital obviously. He's screaming in pain. And this is for real. This is not a hallucination.
Yeah, she's seeing it too. And then we like, cut to seeing Reverend
Popescu looking in the rearview mirror of his car and seeing
someone back there and he freaks out and swerves. We see Matt is
being taken to the hospital and like put in the psych ward because it
seems like it would be a self harm type thing.
And it's this climactic moment of both of them in these crazy situations and having
these visions of finally what really happened that night of the seance with Jonah and everybody.
And we see that because we know that everyone died and Jonah was never seen again and cause
of death unknown.
And so now we're getting a vision of Jonah vomiting up the exoplanet, the exoplanet floating The exoplasm is floating in the air and starting to bubble and boil as if it were lava and
then it explodes and basically splashes on everybody.
So cause of death exoplasm.
What?
What?
Okay.
Wait, what?
For everyone including Jonah?
No, Jonah does not die.
And we see Jonah scrambling and also the autopsy director doesn't die
but his face is burned and he's pretty much almost unconscious on the floor but he looks
at Jonah and is like, you did this and Jonah's obviously so scared and running away and just...
Where did the ectoplasm come from to begin with?
Inside Jonah's mouth, from the ghost.
So there are already ghosts there. So the ghost just basically put ectoplasm in Jonah and then Jonah killed everyone by
like sprain. Well, they're kind of using Jonah as a prop. Like I feel like he doesn't understand
his connection with he and his boss are both using or the ghosts and the boss are both using him as a vessel for their own deeds.
Yeah.
But why?
I mean, the same way that people tried to,
but why was he carrying out the islets?
Because he's a freak, he's a necromancer freak.
Yeah, we'll talk about that.
Jonah wasn't, the boss was.
Is the boss, yeah, we'll talk about that
a little bit more in a second,
but both Matt
and Reverend Popescu are having these visions now because they're both like on the cusp
of life and death. And so they get these glimpses into what has happened in the past. And so
they both see this like truly tragic tale of Jonah just trying to fulfill his duty as an
assistant to this like very respected doctor and getting out of hand and him like seemingly having
no idea how to control anything and like it just exploded and killed everybody and so he just ran out of fear and cut back to Popescu, tears running out of his eyes,
and this giraffe blows through his car and blows all these ashes of the bones that he's
collected that were supposed to be like, we'll just get these bones out of the house and
everything will be fine. Those all go blowing in the wind and cut back to the house and we see Wendy biting
into an apple and gagging and it's completely rotten, moldy, disgusting apple. She opens
the fridge and it's just filled with rotten food. Everything is moldy and horrible.
Dillon and I just rewatched Minority Report the other day
for the first time in a while.
And there's a scene where, I don't know,
I don't know if this is like too spoilery
for a movie that came out.
Fucking come on, it's okay.
No, it's okay.
But when he gets his eye surgery
and he can't see the doctor,
like leaves him a glass of milk
and a turkey sandwich in the fridge.
And he's like, you know, pulled this rope
so you can get to the fridge
and you can have your turkey sandwich and the fridge. And he's like, you know, pulled this rope so you can get to the fridge and you can have your turkey sandwich
and your glass of milk.
And in the fridge is a fresh turkey sandwich
and a glass of milk and a rotten turkey sandwich
and a rotten glass of milk.
And he chooses the rotten one.
And so he can't see his meat,
but grabs the rotten turkey sandwich, takes a bite.
It's nasty, spits it out, reaches for a glass of milk,
grabs the rotten glass.
It's so nasty, but it's so funny to be like, I will leave one of each.
I think he's sad and I'll give that to you.
One's good, one's bad.
You will be, have to figure it out.
And let's remember, Colin Farrell's in that movie.
And Colin Farrell's in the movie and he's fucking fantastic.
He's only 25.
So crazy.
He's so young, he's so good.
It's a fantastic movie.
I love Minority Report. So very good. Okay,
so all the foods rotten in this house, something is not right. We did not solve the mystery.
We did not come out of this on top. No, Wendy is gagging. Absolutely gagging. And the reverend has had this vision and as these bones and embers are blowing all around,
he frantically calls the house. And it's like, I've made a mistake. I've made a really big
mistake. I have to get out of the house. He thought that they were getting Jonah's bones
out of the house. That was who was most communicative. So we thought that that was going to take
out the portal. But it turns out Jonah was the only good force in the house holding-
So they were Jonah's bones, but we needed Jonah's bones.
They were Jonah's bones, but they were holding everything else back. And now-
Oh, everything's unleashed. Now you're fucked. Now it's really bad.
Everything's unleashed and all the rest of the bodies in the house are the bodies that
the Akeman or whatever has stolen from these graves to do tests on.
Oh, and they think it's you because you're living in the house.
He's necromancy. He cut their eyelids off so that he had better control them.
Huge mistake to make. And it's really not good. So he's leaving that message while
Wendy and the kids are in the house. And Sarah and Peter and Matt are at the doctor while
the doctors being like, Yeah, we've run all the tests. And after everything, like the
treatments like not only failed, but like, everything was so much worse than it ever was.
Oh my God. That's so sad.
He could literally die at any minute. They say that.
He could die at any minute?
Oh, okay. Jesus.
Yeah, they're like, how much longer does he have?
They're like, you have seconds.
Like, literally it's crazy that he's alive currently.
Oh my God. And then the bones left, that was when he had the carvings on his body,
basically instantly. No, it was even before that. Because he had the carvings on his body, like basically instantly.
No, it was even before that.
Because he's now in like a psych ward because they feel like they saw the carvings in his
body and were like, you did this obviously to yourself.
So you're in a psych ward now.
And so he's under surveillance at this psych ward.
And his family's being told like he could die in any minute. This is crazy.
His numbers are way off the charts. This isn't right. And they go in to talk to him and he's
not in his room anymore. Oh, God. And we see his little bedroom neighbor rocking back and
forth and being like two brothers. Oh, the nasty power. Yeah, yeah. And Wendy is at home with the kids
and she looks out the window and she sees Matt
walking towards them.
Oh my God, is he barefoot in a little hospital nightgown?
Yeah, he's like barefoot in a hospital nightgown
carrying an axe.
She says, no.
And he busts in the door and she's screaming
and she's trying to protect the kids.
And he's like, let's play hide and
seek. And it seems like he's really scary. And she's crying and she's like, Matt, I don't want
anything like this. And then I don't want anything like that. And he pretty quickly is like, get the
kids out of here. And so it like seems glimpses of Matt came back.
Yeah, it seems at first like he's under a spell of evil. And then we realized no, actually,
he's here with the intention of like doing good. Uh huh. Uh huh. And so like taking it all upon
himself. Yeah, he's and he says to her, get the kids out.
I'm going to basically like come with a big ax because that's a scary way to approach
a house.
Yeah, it's very scary.
She says, take them out.
Take Billy and Mary out.
And I am going to burn the house down and don't call the fire department.
I'll be inside.
And she says, what are you talking about?
Like I can't let you do that. And he says,
I'm already dead. Like, it's not. That's devastating. Yeah, it's very sad. And because
Popescu has told him about how all of the hundreds of bodies that Aichmann has been
potentially using for necromancy are probably in the house. You
see that? The reason he has the axe is because he starts chopping at the walls.
Oh, shit.
He thinks there's probably bodies in the walls. Sure enough, once he gets down to the like...
I'm just remembering how this is said. It was based on a true story.
Oh my God. So crazy. Yeah. Lorraine Warren being like, oh, this happened. Oh my god, so crazy. Yeah. It's so weird. Warren being like,
oh, this happened. Oh, this happened for sure. It happened. Based on a true story. So he's chopping
the walls down. And then as he gets to the morgue, all of these corpses on wet pavement. It really is like cough and plop. Sarah and Peter arrive
at this moment and they're like screaming like, oh my God, Matt, our beautiful boy.
They're like, you can't go in there. It's like you'll die if you go in there. Sarah
runs in and just holds Matt and seems pretty
certain that they're going to die. She just doesn't even try to get out. She's holding
him.
Is she upset it on fire by now?
Yeah, yeah. It's like the whole place is burning down. She's like, we'll just sit here and
see what happens. In a way, that's, I don't know. You never know until you're in a position
so we don't know.
Also, yeah, they've been on the brink of death for months.
We can't withhold judgment, obviously.
Sure.
She does have another child.
It does feel like she shouldn't resign herself to death.
I would think that you would at least be like-
Trying.
Get us out of here.
We gotta get out.
Yeah, let's try.
But the firefighters do eventually break her out of there. And then we get some text in the papyrus
that tells us Matt's cancer disappeared.
Disappeared.
That's the words it uses.
Disappeared.
And he made a full recovery.
This is a true story, true story, true story.
No further manifestations happened at this property.
And then we just go papyrus and end credits.
Oh, the end.
Spooky, are you guys spooked?
I'm not that spooked.
It's bad, it's not good.
I wanted to be spooked.
But then again, I also really, it's like right now when I'm
with you guys sitting and having like a little bit of fun, I'm like, I'd love to be spooked.
But truly when I woke up in the middle of the night last night and I thought maybe I'm
awake because there's a ghost. I was so desperate for further to-
I think you have to be alone to be like truly spooked.
And I wasn't even alone. You were in there, but you were asleep.
No, but it's like, I wasn't like, we weren't interacting.
We weren't interacting. You were asleep. If I woke up to being haunted, I would have
woken you up.
I've talked about this on the podcast before, but when I was working on this show where
I was living in Bellingham, Washington, and I lived in a really beautiful house on the
shore, but it was just like kind of not surrounded by
anything. I didn't have any neighbors. A lot of windows. You're very alone. A lot of floor-to-ceiling
windows. And I had to – we were doing the podcast still. And so I watched Paranormal
Activity 2 there and it was just like, well, I'm going to actually die. I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry. Like I'm going to die. Yeah. That's a terrible feeling. Every noise I
heard, I was like, well, this isn't.
Fear is really crazy.
I think about it though, like every single time I wake up in the middle of the night
and go downstairs to eat crackers, because I do that a lot, or I'm like, May or Silas
is awake for whatever reason.
When May or Silas is awake, I have less of a problem because I'm so focused on them.
But if it's just me and I'm getting out of my bed, I'm walking down the problem because I'm so focused on them. But if it's just me and I'm getting
out of my bed, I'm walking down the hall, I'm going down the stairs, I'm going into
the kitchen, every step I take I have to say, Henley, no ghosts. No ghosts tonight. No ghosts
tonight. No demons tonight. Nothing is bad is happening to you.
Nothing bad. Yeah, I really...
And by the time I've reached my blessed crackers...
You ever thought about keeping crackers in your room?
I sometimes do.
Because I...
I'll tell you what, I would not do it.
You wouldn't travel that far?
I would not travel that far in the middle of the night.
I know, but then it's like a problem with sauce for me trying to eat the crackers and
then I don't want to wake up Tim eating crackers.
How loudly are you eating crackers?
I'm eating crackers a lot in the middle of the night and I don't know what to tell you
about it.
I don't know what that means about me.
But I love-
She just needs some midnight crackers.
I love crackers in the middle of the night.
I feel like I've heard you shouldn't, like if you wake up in the middle of the night
having to pee, you like shouldn't go pee.
Really?
Nobody listened to me.
I peed last night.
You've got to pee.
You've got to pee because otherwise you're awake thinking you might have to pee.
No, I know.
But the thing is, the thing is your body will start to wake you up to pee if you train it.
Oh, then I'll wake up at that time.
Right. You're like, if I wake up... But if you have to train your body that you don't
need to wake up to pee in the middle of the night, and I wonder if it's the same with
crackers.
I know, no, no, I know.
You give in to the crackers and so your body gets hungry in the middle of the night and
goes like, well, I got to wake her up because it's cracker time.
I know. No, I don't know. It's complicated.
It's complicated.
I've been in...
We've all got to do what we've got to do.
We've all got to do. We've got to do.
We have all got to do. We got to do. But obviously, sometimes if you have to pee, you should pee
because you can get a UTI or you should pee. Of course. Also, you're just going to be half
awake thinking, I have to pee. And so you're not really sleeping. You got to just get.
I really do try to power through. I really do because I don't want to. You want a strong
bladder. I don't, but I have a strong mind.
No, no, but you don't. But if you're trying to train, your mind is training your bladder.
You're saying be stronger.
Mind over bladder.
Mind over bladder. That's actually very funny.
We love you guys.
What a huge day we've had.
A huge day.
I'm so glad how much that talked about Connecticut. I thought maybe this movie won't talk about
Connecticut enough and you talked about Connecticut nonstop. There are Connecticut landmarks every
step of the way. It literally couldn't have been set anywhere but Connecticut.
It felt deeply tied to where we are right now, everything about it.
Actually just one moment of them saying, let's move to Connecticut.
That was enough for me.
Sammy, thank you.
It's unbelievable the story you could spin from watching just a thumbprint image.
One inch by two inch.
She really freaking did it. I cannot be stressed enough how small that screen was.
Also, I went upstairs because I thought for sure my children were in the throes of their own kind of like possession of a demon.
Because I could hear footsteps upstairs and Tim reassured me that no, he was cleaning and doing laundry and that's
the only reason.
Oh, sweet man.
They are totally fine. He didn't have to go into the room at all. But because like their
room starts like there, you know what I mean?
Like right above us, yeah.
And so him walking there makes me think he's going into their room, but he was just doing
laundry.
Oh, what a guy.
He really is.
He's a good hot priest.
He's a podcast's own resident hot priest.
He's a good hot priest.
That's really nice.
I know.
We love you guys very much.
We love you guys very much.
What a blessed, blessed day.
Tomorrow will be a blessed day.
Blessed in the Church of God.
Blessed is the Church of God.
On a Sunday. Mm-hmm.
I'm very excited. Connecticut does not have an accent. No.
Connecticut. I live in Connecticut. I don't want to you guys. Yeah, but you do. But you do.
I don't want to have to say that to people. When people say, where do you live? I say, I live in Connecticut.
I don't want to have to say that.
Hmm.
But we love you guys very, very much. And from all of us here. say, where do you live? I say, I live in Connecticut. I don't want to have to say that.
But we love you guys very, very much. And from all of us here, not too scared to watch. I live in Connecticut.
Can't live in Connecticut and goodbye.
Bye.
