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 Emily, 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 we have a great movie for you guys today. And if you are just dying, cannot wait, must hear recap immediately.

I need a recap right now. There are time stamps in the show notes, because first we have a little bit of haunted housekeeping and exciting announcement. We are doing TV scary, didn't watch season two, where we will be covering the HBO series It Welcome to Dairy, which Henley really pushed for. I did. Huge mistake on Henley's part. I guess she really forgot that Pennywise loves torturing children.

Yeah, and Pennywise will kill children. It's crazy. I kind of forgot that, too, that I was like, because in a way, I'm like, it's like a children's thing. And I sent anyone, he's like, the things that he create, we'll talk about this on TV scary. I didn't watch him. Sort of getting ahead of myself. But it's like, oh, he's just creating scary images for them to like see and get upset. But it's like, no, but then he'll like fucking kill them. He will kill children. He will. He's bad. He's bad. Yeah. The show does not hold back an ounce. No. The whole thing is he kills children. I have in my brain that I can watch anything on TV, but I forgot that age. HBO doesn't count. This is challenging those. There are a bunch of little movies, basically. HBO doesn't count. It's horrific. Really, truly, within the first 30 seconds of watching it, I was like, what the

fuck did I, why did I do? Because I also did genuinely push for it because I love getting to watch TV shows with you guys. It's like my favorite thing to do in the world. It's too late to back out now, Hen, so it's happening. I was like, let's do it, let's do it. I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait. And then I forgot that I actually have to watch the TV show.

Yeah. I want to say a little, I'm like, I'm a little scared, too. It sucks. It's so scary. Yeah. But it's like so extreme. We'll talk about it. It's very over the top.

It's very much like the, it movies, the ones with our beloved Bill Scars Guard. It's that, that vibe. Yeah, thank God. God, I love him. So we're doing that and I am scared, but excited. Me too. And that will be available on our Patreon. Season 1 is also there where we covered Alien Earth.

and lots of other good stuff. So head over to patreon.com slash TSCW podcast. If any of that strikes, you're fancy. And that's all the haunted housekeeping we have. So now it is time for Emily and Henley to tell me if anything scary happened to you guys this week. Well, I told you guys I'm like pretty dehydrated this morning

and I'm looking down at my fingers. I took a shower an hour ago, not even a long one, just a regular one. And my fingers are still pruning. That means I'm like really dehydrated. right or what does that mean oh I have no idea huh what does that mean you're dehydrated is that what that means yeah maybe you know this is one of those things that seems like it should be really obvious like does the pruning mean your hands have not enough water or too much water yeah exactly

what does it mean what does it mean and nobody knows actually and you can't know there's no way to know it's crazy that there's just nobody will ever know because nobody knows it's unknowable It's an unknowable thing about life, which that's just One of those things you have to accept. Just one of those things you have to accept. And I guess so my scary thing is the reason that I am dehydrated and took a shower. What am I saying? Is that I took an exercise class this morning on a Sunday morning, which is like...

What time we talk in? 10.30. So not too crazy. Not crazy. Not crazy. Not what you normally do. No. And so I like showed up.

So fucking proud of myself. I was like, wow, Sunday morning, I'm taking an exercise class. I truly, I fully like, because I got a good parking space and I saw, it's like two minutes before the class starts. I saw the teacher walk in and I was like, wow, I guess it's probably just going to be me and her, the only two people up on a Sunday ready to exercise. It was jam packed. Yeah, weekend exercise classes are always completely full. And it was like so shocking to me because I was so ready to be like, I can't believe I'm the biggest, strongest, bravest person in the world to take a Sunday morning exercise class and it was like everyone was already there

stretched ready to go full class filled to the freaking gills bit of a a bit of a rude awakening for me so I don't know I guess there's people out there getting up and at it on the weekends on a Sunday morning excuse me

I don't know I so admire those people good for them good for them for them it was kind of like a one time thing for me but Well, good for you too for this one time. I'm proud of you. Me too. My scary thing you guys already know is I just went to a Suzuki concert for Silas. Silas just had his first solo cello performance.

I'm very proud of him. It was very cute. The only reason I want to make it very clear that the only reason my four-year-old is taking cello lessons is because we quite literally live at a music school and the head of the music school. and the head of the music school, like, told me to sign him up. Are you embarrassed that he's... Well, I just feel like it's really intense. Like, it sounds like to be a parent who's like, my three-year-old is taking cello lessons. I don't want people to think that I'm like...

He's four. Well, he started when he was three. Sure, sure, but he's not all right anymore. So forget that. Forget that. That never happened. The thing that's scary, though, is that I had the realization sitting through this performance that I have so many years ahead of me

of sitting through music. Oh, yeah, baby. All sorts of bad shit. Bad dance recitals, bad music records, bad plays. Oh, my God. Yeah, this is it. You can't look at your phone because that's so rude. And they explicitly say, do not look at your phone.

It's so rude. So you have to just, you're raw dogging. And you have to, like, sit through so many kids who aren't your kids who suck, who you don't care about. Yeah, all the different grades. And I love them. I'm so proud of them. Go kids.

Learn music. This is amazing. Except for your kid who you're embarrassed by. No, I'm not embarrassed. No, I'm not embarrassed by him. I'm embarrassed that I, as a parent, put my child in to tell us. I'm embarrassed for myself. I'm not embarrassed for him.

I'm not trying to enrich my child's life. I just live really close to music school. That's all it is. You know what I mean, though. I know what you mean, Nedley. I do, but it's funny. But anyway, so like 64 minutes of just sitting. Oh, my God, I didn't say 64 kids.

No, thank God. But 64 minutes. It's tough, though. Of just, you never know how long the pieces are going to be. You never know what's going to happen. Was anyone actually good? Was any child good? Yes.

And they usually go from worst to best. Silas was first. Again, he's four. And then the kids get progressively better. Was there any kid who was like, you're like, oh my God, this is a cello prodigy or no? There was one kid. That would be pretty cool. Who was blowing me out of my seat.

I was like, damn, damn. He's really good. I don't know how old he was, too. He looked like he was maybe 10, and he was, he had like a motor. That's the thing is it's like when a kid is putting like emotion behind it, that's something special there. Really feeling it. Yeah, feeling it.

So if anyone has any ideas for like things I can do in my brains. Like mind puzzles. Mind puzzles. Puzzles, teaching you how to sleep with your eyes open. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's the other thing is I get so sleepy. Yeah, me too. I have a hard time sitting still for hours.

Yeah. Good luck to you. Thank you. This next 14 plus years. Would you bring, like, would it be super rude to, like, bring knitting? Like, get really into knitting and you're like, I knit during the concert. good. I feel like that wouldn't be rude. Like if you were like 60 people wouldn't be mad at you. So why would they be mad at you now? That's a really good idea except that I don't think I could ever even learn how to knit. Like I think I'm so stupid. Like I don't think I could ever even figure it out. You're not stupid. Like I'm really, really bad at that type of thing. It would take me like years to learn how to do like the most basic knitting. I'm pretty sure. Knitting like just like a straight, just like a scarf, which is all that I know how to knit is like pretty easy. I know, but Emily, you are so talented.

No. You are really talented at arts and crafts. No, knitting is... You are. You just loop a pole through a string. I know. You could even fucking fake it. You could just have string and two poles.

To get some tropics and some yarn and fucking fake it. I should do fake knitting. Yeah, that will keep you really not bored, obviously. And everyone will be like, is that lady fake knitting over there's a corner? You know what? it would be, it'd be really interesting for all the other parents. You'd be providing them with a way to get through the shell. It would be selfless of you. Because they would all spend the whole soaping like, I don't think that woman's knitting. Just like furiously click clacking chopsticks.

Chopsticks. I think those are chopsis or not. With no progress being made whatsoever. Just tying a big knot. I think that woman is just sitting there tying a really big knot. I don't want to pull focus from the children. It has to be something that I can do quietly without anyone knowing. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Let us know.

Let us know. Any ideas? Sammy, what about you? How are you doing? I went to something called Repticon yesterday. Joel's really jealous, by the way. Oh, what's that? It is a reptile convention.

Exactly what it sounds like. Exactly what it sounds like. And it wasn't too scary, but right when I walked in, it reminded me, I've told you guys this story. I don't know if I've told the listeners, but when I was in high school, we had the option to observe a surgery happening. Oh, right. It's completely insane. And so I went to a doctor's office. It was a facelift that I saw. And I walked in and was like so scared at first and then really quickly acclimated. And I had the same experience here at Repticon. I walked in and was kind of like, am I terrified of all reptiles and

snakes and lizards and there were spiders and stuff too and had like a real stress reaction at first like oh no oh no oh no and then same thing very quickly was like oh no it's fine like this is normal this is all normal but i will say the snakes are basically all in like tupperware type containers so they're in such small that makes me really sad but i was assured that that is only for these conventions and then they get to go home and go in their larger homes. And there was a few people there that were monitoring the sizes of the containers. And like if a container was like deemed too small for the snake or various reptile, they would get in trouble. Like there was a standard in someone enforcing those standards.

But yeah, it was pretty bizarre because it was just like so many. snakes of duporware. It's just something I've really never seen before. It's also interesting because like I thought that we had been to Reptile Khan before and Joel reminded me that no, we went to Bug Con so slightly

slightly different. But it's interesting to me that Reptile Khan also had like scorpions and spiders because those aren't reptiles, but it is a similar interest group. Yes. So it did have some bugs and What was the coolest thing you saw? Your favorite thing? This one guy

was really trying to sell me on this huge like monitor lizard to buy it oh so they're like selling these things too yes they're all they're mostly all for sale and they're pretty expensive but this guy was relatively cheap he was priced at 200 he's big he was like two feet long and he was like but i'll give him to you for 150 because he's actually in really bad shape and you're going to have to give him a bath for one hour every day and then use tweezers to like peel some of his skin off because he's having a hard time shedding his own skin

and I kept going oh oh and so he like really thought that I really wanted this lizard but instead you were just like how do I get out of this conversation as fast as possible I felt bad

eventually I did because I would like go up and like coo at all the cute little lizards and geckos it's so funny to be like do you want to buy this lizard it's in really bad shit

he did say it was rescued on death's door do you want him He was rescued. He had lost his tail, and so he had, like, kind of a half tail growing in that looked really gross. And he said... Where do you rescue a monitor lizard from? He said it was a college students that left it at home when he went to college, and his mom started taking care of it and, like, didn't know how to take care of it.

Got it the wrong lamp. So rather than, like, a UV lamp, she got it a heat lamp. So it was just, like, baking him and drying him out. Oh, my God. I know. That's the thing is the story was, like, so. sad and like really tugging at my heartstrings and I would kept me like oh my god well he's so cute I love him but but like I'm not there's no fucking way I'm buying this list

if you came home from the reptile con with a sick monitor lizard we would be like are you okay really shocked him is Sammy okay this is my new pet isn't really bad we have to he has to be it's my rescue lizard and I have to peel enough, but I really do hope that someone does adopt him. It's just not going to be me. With a low, low price of $150. It's not going to be me. But he was really cute.

And I was, yeah, just surprised at how cute every, all of them were. I like reptiles. I knew that I liked reptiles, but I thought I didn't really like snakes. And I was really liking all the snakes. I was like, would I get a snake? This is interesting. When we were in Joshua Tree, a little snake came into the house. It was beautiful snake.

And it was totally fine. He got back out of the house. But he was really cute. And I took a video of him and posted it. And so many people were like, no, no, no, snakes. Yes. People really don't like snakes. Yeah, well, because I think you have to like knee jerk reaction.

He was cute. You're right, Henley. No, but didn't I DM you saying that's such a cute snake? No, yeah, you weren't scared for the record. I was scared. But Sammy was for the record. And I was when I walked into Repticon, I was also like, oh my God, so many snakes. Like the snakes were things that at first, like, gave me little hebi-jibis.

But then once I started like really looking at them all and, like, people were taking them out and holding them. Have you ever had one? Did you hold one? I did not hold one that sounded like it was going to be a green eggs and ham. I did not hold one at this time. I did not hold a snake today. But I have held snakes in the past. Take your little. The people I went with used to have a bunch of snakes when we were kids. And so they had one really big like ball python and then a bunch of like a little, the little string beanie guys. It's scarier to hold. the string beanies. Because you're just like, where are you going to go?

And where are you going to go? You're so little. Where are you going to go? But they're really cute. Kind of true with all of the reptiles is the smaller they are. They're kind of more like little doot-to-to-to-to-to-d-d-th. Yeah. And they're little tongues that they're like.

Yeah. Like smelling with. Oh, it's cute. They were cute. There were some real beautiful ones. It's crazy that they look the way they look. Yeah. Can I also like cut in with like something about spiders that are not, that are, okay.

I would say a lot of people also really don't like spiders. I hate spiders. I read the craziest fucking article in the New York Times, you guys. Listen to this headline. I just looked it up. Stinking, spongy, dark, huge. A spider web unlike any scene before. Ew.

Ew. A pitch black cave in the Balkans is home to what research say is a singular work of cooperation by two usually hostile species of spiders. They've created a web. They've co-created a web that stretches almost 1,200 square feet. about the size of a small home. People went into a pitch black cave. They went spulunking into this pitchback clave.

That's on them. They discovered a spider metropolis. They think that there are 111,000 spiders living within this spider web. Usually they've never lived harmoniously together. They think that it's so dark in there. They can't see each other. So that's why the only reason they're not eating each other. That's kind of cute.

Um, that's literally their hypothesis. Can you imagine? Just, that's crazy. She said, she says it's, the doctor says it's not easy to reach the cave. They have to wear wetsuits, boots, cling to ropes while waiting across a river through chest high water. She says it's just pure adrenaline for biologists.

Imagine. What? People are crazy. It is so interesting how many different ways there are to be in the world that like I would literally never. I can get behind like. a single spider being kind of cute. Like the close-ups of spiders,

where they have cute little faces. Some little spiders can be cute. I'm also like, that to me is fascinating. 11,000 spiders in a cave? No, no. But that's, that cooperation is like,

that's kind, I'm like, I am fascinated by that. It's interesting. But really, ultimately, what I'm more fascinated by is that people would do that.

But can you imagine going splunking, A, it's terrifying. Have you seen the dissent? Don't do it. And then B, going splunking with the intention of studying 111,000 hostile spiders?

No. Amazing. I won't be doing it. Anyway, look it up. There's a lot of video content, too. I don't understand. I wonder what Wes has to say about him. I'm sure he's pro.

Well, I'm sure he's pro, but I wonder what he, I wonder what else he, or facts he's got. We got to get him on for a spider movie. Ooh, we. Okay, with that, shall we get into the, this week's movie. Yes, please. You don't know what we're doing. I have no idea.

This is a surprise to you. You probably won't know this movie, but this week we are going to be talking about a movie called Thirst. Came out in 2009. Oh, I'm so thirsty. Fuck. And Emily's been saying she's thirsty too. I know.

You guys both did say the word thirst before we started recording. It's directed by Park Chanwuk, written by Park Chanwok. Written by Park Chanwool. and Chung Siokyung, based on the novel, Terese Rakeen by Emile Zola, starring Sankheng Ho, Kim Okbin, Shin Hakun, and Kim Heisuk. Apologies for my pronunciation. But I love this movie.

I saw this movie when it came out. Jenna and I watched it in college. It's awesome. Have you guys ever heard of it? I have not. No, I've never heard of it. No. I'm scared.

Have we covered authors of Park Chanwock's movies? I don't think we have. We've just talked about old boy. Him before. Is, I think, one that we could do. My favorite movie of his is The Handmaiden, but it's not really horror. It's so fucking good. It's like a sexy mystery.

Sexy mystery. I want a movie sexy, too. I feel like all of his movies have like a little sexy. Sexy mystery. I have been meaning to watch Old Boy, but maybe not. Maybe I'd hate it or what I like it. Is that the one that people think I'd like or that I'd hate? Oh, I don't think you would like it, no.

Okay, so then never mind. It's like pretty upsetting. Oh, well, then no thanks. But watch The Handmaiden. The Handmaiden's really good. Yeah, okay. Oh, and Stoker. Stoker, a legendary South Korean director, filmmaker,

and just also to remind that Song-King-Ho is the main actor in this, and he is also the main actor in Parasite. He's the dad in Parasite. He's a very frequent collaborator with Bong Joon-Ho, and I love him very much as well. This movie has an 81% on Rotten Tomatoes, a 73% on Metacritic and a 7.1 on IMDB. Wow, 110% on IMDB. pretty steady like what's the word I'm looking for there consistent rating consistent thank you the budget was 5 million and it made 13.5 million right that's a win that's a win uh this was the first

mainstream Korean film to feature full frontal male nudity oh mark your bingo cards the scene is not fun You guys are not going to like the scene, but still exciting. Yeah, it's still, you know, a win is a win. A win is a win. And this is the first South Korean film to be jointly produced by Hollywood. Oh. I've ever heard of it. Universal Pictures invested in the film during its production stage and secured

North American distribution rights. It was also nominated for the Palm Door at Cannes. And, yeah, it's like a widely celebrated film because it's really good. Wow. Exciting. Is it about vampires? It sure is, Emily. Wait, so have you?

Oh, my God. Had you not seen it since college? Yeah. No, this was my first rewatch since 2009. Did you really, really exciting? Differently about it watching it again, or was it? I just felt like I didn't really remember anything except for the ending, so it was fun to rewatch. Speaking of vampires.

I forgot that this past week We also went and saw They re-released The Twilight movies in movie theaters And we went to see Breaking Dawn Part 2 In theaters And it was one of the greatest experiences Of my life

That's partially why I picked this movie Because I was just had vampires on the mind It was so fun If they better fucking do it again And if they do everybody go Because also the theater was like half full Like it was like It was not a full house

It was which is very funny it was all people who feel exactly about these movies like we do just like know exactly why we're there just having so much fun of our lives there was we went with two friends who had not ever seen breaking down part two and there was clearly at least one other man like a millennial man in the theater who had not ever seen it kept going what it was oh my god it was like one of the greatest thrills of my life um so i'm really i'm like very happy that we're continuing in a vampire trajectory although i'm sure this is quite different. I still... Wait, did they do that in honor of Rob's? I don't know what it was in honor of. Like, I literally, like, Joel and I were talking about this. He's like, was it like an anniversary? And I was like, I have, no, I don't know.

They just like did it. Just for fun. Just for fun. This did it. I think that's just been something that they've been doing lately, just realizing, hey, we can make more money off something that we already made. Like, they're doing a lot of just like, re-releases. It was a complete tragedy that it was not a full. house. Disgusting. I'm disgusted by people for not filling that movie theater. Shame. The shame. Shame. But I hope they do it again because it was so much fucking fun. Yeah, it was great.

But let's look at these vampires. I bet they're different. They're different, but they're also great. Oh, red band. A red band trailer. Oh, no. I think it's mostly fine. And there might be a little bit of spoilers, but I feel like I want you to see the vibe. God is good. Okay. Let's do this. Let's do this. God is good. I don't know how it happened, but the holiday season is here, and that means it's time to start shopping for gifts for your loved ones. Uncommon goods takes the stress out of gifting with thousands of unique, high-quality finds you won't see anywhere else.

just a box of candy or a bottle of wine. I love a customizable gift and uncommon goods has a whole bunch of options including a custom pet embroidered sweatshirt. I have so many friends with pets, so when I found this, I was super excited because it's truly perfect for any pet lover. It's quirky and funny, but also just a cute and comfy sweatshirt.

The holiday season is here and I'm already exhausted from all the parties and weekend activities that I've been going to. I mean, don't get me wrong. You know, I love a party. I love my face. fancy cocktails, but they really add up quickly, and then my energy is zapped for basically the whole rest of the week. So lately, I'm finding myself reaching for Sol's out-of-office gummies instead. Same fun vibe, but Zero Hangover. Soul is a wellness brand that believes feeling good should be fun and easy.

Oh, Salliener to help to help just just just just

just Oh, Say, Say, Oh, my God. Oh, my God. A lot of fluid. just the like music cutting out and getting the sound of them sucking on each other's feet

yeah a lot of little slurping yep yep wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow I mean oh oh oh I don't want to but now I have to it just occurred to me that like could you say it say it could you slurp up blood through a vein like like through a straw yeah like would it be like a straw if you really like got in there and just just where does the blood go when you're slurping would it come out would it just like come out as quickly as if as if because where are you drinking where are you if you're referred to the shot in the movie that is an iv bag that it's coming from no I'm just thinking now I'm just thinking now I'm just thinking it probably is gravity dependent it's probably working how it's gravity dependent and they do talk a little bit in this movie it depends if the heart is still

beating because that's what moves blood through the veins Crazy that that's just happening right now inside all of us There's so much happening There's blood moving around to everywhere A whole world in there's a whole world in there And there's like Bugs and stuff in there Yeah right

What do you mean my bugs? Like just little little creatures doing their work Yeah they're just like made up of like There's like so many little just like critters Just like in our skin and bodies Well and eyelashes And also our cells are so complicated and like working Did you guys know that

Did you guys think that the mitochondria, you know, the powerhouse of the cell, as we all learned, as we all learned in like sixth grade or whatever. It looks like a rounded corner rectangle with little like ming, ming, ming, ming, ming, ming, mings all the way around, right? Yes, yes. Emily could draw us a diagram right now. And it would be absolutely accurate. Okay, here's what they failed to teach us. The mitochondria, the powerhouse of the cell, is only passed down with the mother's line. Only women are passing down the mitochondria. No, men. are ever passing down a mitochondria, just women. I mean, there's a lot of stuff like that. There's a lot of stuff that's only the ladies and a lot of stuff that's only the men. Yeah, but I feel like the powerhouse of the cell. Oh, the powerhouse is the cell.

Are we going to sweep that under the rug? I really feel like that's important. It's almost like the key to women have all the power. Right. That we're the powerhouses in this world. We should talk about that more. That's all I'm saying. I think we should just talk about it now.

Everybody, tell your friends. Let's make an oath. We're going to tell five people that. And then they're going to tell five people And then they're going to tell five people And soon, everybody knows We're going to pay it forward with mitochondria facts We're going to cure sexism

The second anyone That would do it I think if everybody knew Where the mitochondria really came from All the problems would be solved Apologies, apologies ma'am I'm so sorry I didn't know Apologies ma'am

They raise us up on their shoulders Applaud us through the city Anyway, thanks for asking that hard-hitting question. I watched, watching that trailer made me be like, wow, movies. That's what it made me feel like. I was like, it really is so nice. This is such an American thing to say, but like watching a non-English language movie, they really just do it differently in other countries.

And you kind of forget that sometimes. And it's really nice to be challenged a little bit by something that's not like the typical Hollywood structure. Yeah, and the way that things look. It feels good for your brain to watch something that is constructed in a different way than you're used to. Makes your brain work a little harder. And it's just fun. And I just really appreciate it. Wow.

I'm inspired. I'm excited for this one. It's always a man of faith. It's always a mom or a man of faith. Because there's nothing scarier than losing your faith. A man's faith being challenged. I know. We learned that in science so recently.

There's nothing scarier. And boy, oh, boy, is this man's faith going to be challenged. So let's buckle up for a scary ride. Buckle up, everybody. Okay, a trigger warning before we start for domestic violence, sexual violence, and self-harm. Great. We begin with our protagonist, Song Hyun, played by Song Kang-ho. He is a Catholic priest, important.

He's not Episcopalian. He's not having sex. That does not fuck. Yep. That's a fuck. He's the kind that does not fuck. We see him working in a hospital as kind of his main thing that he does. He's giving last rights to people and like going to patients and praying with them.

And we see him speaking to a patient who's telling him a story of a good thing that he has done in his past to see if it's like, I'm going to get into heaven, right? And he says, like, that he had this really delicious sponge cake. A priest just walked in. Sorry. There's a priest in the room. We're talking about a priest right now. It becomes a vampire. Ooh, say it.

Yeah. Okay. So this guy, this man in the hospital bed is talking about he had one time had the most delicious looking sponge cake. And oh, my God, it was like the, he was so excited to eat it. But then he saw two hungry looking children. that looked like they hadn't had a meal in a while. And so he gave them the sponge cake and watched as they eat it.

And so he's like, so like, I'm probably going to heaven, right? Like, I'm obviously, like, really selfless and good. And Sangheun is like, yeah, I think he says absa positutely is what he says, which seems like. Definitely the correct translation. maybe not the right translation but also like maybe not what you say to someone who's like I'm going to get into heaven right like a hundred percent yes do do do buddy um so he's you know having a nice conversation with this guy and the nurses nearby when this man starts going into some sort of cardiac event alarms start going off that heart monitors going

crazy. Other nurses and doctors are rushing in and he ultimately goes into a coma. And this is obviously very upsetting for everyone. But Song Heun is taking it kind of hard. We see him going back to He's just like, the last words I said to that man were absolutely. Yeah, that's going to be the last thing that man hears. In the middle of the night, you just wake up from. Remembering. Absepository. How the fuck did I say that? Wait, except for a cold sweat. He's like, why do I fucking say that?

She's like, well, I'm going to hell. I'm fucking going to hell. Stupid priest, stupid priest. We see him in a confession booth. Someone is confessing to him later in the day and this person's a nurse we see. And also struggling with the amount of death that she sees and just like, you know, heaviness and trauma that comes from being in a hospital regularly. And he encourages her to get God's help through medicine and start some antidepressants. And I really appreciate that.

But he does not seem to be taking his own advice because we see him walking through the courtyard looking very depressed. He is with a mentor, an older priest who is in a wheelchair. and who is blind, they've clearly known each other for a very long time. He's confiding in him. You know, this patient died even after eight surgeries. I really thought she was going to make it. So he's really struggling with, he says, like, I want to save people. I want to help people. Was his goal of joining the cloth, it seems, and he's having kind of the opposite experience. and he asks this man to ask the bishop to send him to Emmanuel Labs. We don't know what that is.

His mentor is kind of like, the Vatican doesn't approve of what they're doing there. And we don't really know what goes on there. But Sung Hewn gets this look of resolve. And he's like, no, I want to help people. I'm going to go. So we see him getting on a plane. He goes somewhere, I believe, in Africa, and is volunteering at a hospital where they are trying to fight this virus called Emmanuel Virus.

And it just cuts to him a doctor going through a slideshow with him of other people who have died of this disease and the symptoms that it causes really painful blisters that get bigger and bigger. and they can be internal blisters and then you like die from internal bleeding looks horrifying and they are trying to find a vaccine and so they're looking for volunteers for this trial to be voluntarily like infected with or have like inactive EV injected into them

along with the vaccine that they're developing and the doctor at this hospital is like, why are you doing this? We've had a lot of people who volunteer as a way to have, like, a different form of suicide. And we're not looking for that. And we're really trying to, like, have that not happen. We're really trying to have that really happen. And Songheun looks like a martyr kind of.

He, like, has this look about him. Like, he's like, I'm, I want to help people. If that means sacrificing myself in order to, like, try to create something that will help other people, he's willing to do it. So he gets enrolled in the program, he gets assigned a room, and they inject the dormant virus or whatever, and the vaccine. And we see him over the course of a few days, a little montage, like, praying. And he's praying that, I can't remember anything. any of the things he says, but he's basically saying, like, if I survive, like, let it be God that has saved me. He's, like, also using this as kind of, like, a test of his faith.

And then we see pretty quickly he does start getting blisters on his hands and his fingernails start falling off, really gross. And he's in his little, his little. room playing a recorder like a white little clarinet recorder type thing and he's playing this like peaceful little tune when he starts coughing up blood into the recorder and it just like sprays blood out of all of the finger holes at the bottom of it is so gross but also very like a very clever funny little gag almost and we see that he is immediately rushed to the operating room surrounded by doctors as he's kind of seizing and vomiting blood and he is being given blood transfusions we're getting close-ups on these bags of blood that are being pumped into him

and chaos all around we're hearing the heart monitor and he flatlines goes limp doctors call the time of death cover him with a sheet when he gasps for air again two minutes or so later he's praying it's a doctor like it's a miracle yes are like what the fuck it is a miracle so that he just happened to get a bag of vampire blood yeah we're not going to we're not going to dive into the origins at this place. Of this vampire blood. But vampires have blood. I mean, I guess in this world, they do.

Because in twilight, they're basically made of stone. Most holiday gifts end up in a drawer or in the back of a closet or the dreaded, re-gifted gift.

robes but his hands and his head are bandaged and as he's walking towards the church there are

a huge crowd of people crowding him and yelling like oh please please pray for us pray for us this word has gotten

out that he has survived this deadly disease and he's a priest and so that's already

like Yeah, it's just like given this impression of a miracle And now that he's this like healer and everyone is gathered Like he's a saint Begging for him to help them And he's kind of pushing past them really overwhelmed by this And he goes back I think the church in the hospital are right next to each other

It's basically the hospital church So now he's back in the hospital and while he's blessing some of the patients or praying with some of the patients, a woman like comes up to the window from outside and is like, are you the priest that to survive? Are you the miracle priest? Please help me come pray with my son. He's in this hospital and he has cancer.

And Song Hyun gets up and follows her to the room that her son is in. He is an adult. Don't worry, Henley. Okay. Yeah. I don't give a shit. Then I don't give a shit about him. He's probably in his 20s or 30s.

His name is Kang Wu. And Song Hyun comes and prays with him. And after a few minutes, they kind of recognize each other. And Kang Wu is like, did you used to live in Busan? And he's like, oh, my God. And they have this moment of realizing that they knew each other in childhood. He still have bandages on his face? Yes.

Or maybe he took them off. It doesn't matter I can't remember It's a good question It would be hard to recognize him If he did have the bandages on his face That's what I was thinking Yes

So they must be off But I don't remember if he has Like blisters all over his face At this point Yeah why is he wearing the bandages For the blisters I think There is parts where there's like pus on the bandages Ew

Hate that Very gross But so now they're kind of having this Little happy reconnect moment. The mom, her name is Mrs. Ra. She is like, oh, my God, I remember you. Used to come over for noodles. And there's also a young woman in the room. Her name is Taiju. And she's kind of looking, she's like got her arms crossed in the corner kind of sulking. Like she doesn't look happy to be there. We don't really know her deal. But Song Huyn says, oh, I remember your sister used to

to get all these, like, calluses on her feet and used to make me touch the calluses on her feet. Just like a weird childhood memory involving this young woman. She kind of rolls her eyes like, oh, my God, she's, like, embarrassed. And then we get a little bit of Taiju's backstory, which is really upsetting. Mrs. Ra is telling this all, like, giddy, laughing. And she's like, oh, yeah, you remember Taiju? Yeah, well, she, we found her when she was three.

She was like an orphan. And we raised, raised her like, the quote I wrote down, raised her like a daughter and a puppy. Yikes. I don't know if you want that. Get you a girl who can do both. Yeah. And when she grew up, she married my son, Kang Wu. So they went from being siblings to now husband and wife.

And it was a really easy transition. She just moved from. Son and dog. Son and dog. And she just moved from sleeping in my bed into sleeping in his bed. It was like so easy. Oh my God. Oh, no.

And so we're getting a bit of an idea as to why Teju might have such a sour look on her face. Oh, that's really sad. Sounds like a really unpleasant situation. Kang Wu's also very annoying, her husband. This actor is so great, though. He kind of has like a Justin Long vibe to him where he's just like always have like a huge smile on his face like tons of energy but it's just like really annoying and blissfully unaware of anybody else's emotions or experience unaware that his sister wife might not like

she might actually lot in life yeah uh so after they all are at the hospital i don't know this there might be like a time a little bit of a time jump here but they invite sanghune back to their house for dinner and some mahjong and they say we do this every week you're welcome to join whenever they're excited to have him there there's also been some other friends that have been invited over so there's like a couple more people there as well kengwu is back and his cancer is gone which is why there must have been a time jump and uh songhune looks like pretty shaken by this he's like is like thinking like did i cure his cancer like what the fuck but they're making sushi and Mrs. Ra offers a piece to Sung Hyun and he starts like really violently gagging at it just like really over the top like and she's like oh my god you hate sushi and he says no I'm so sorry I've been really sensitive to smells lately and I just smelled blood and Taiju her eyes go wide and she like runs

to the bathroom and changes her pad like she's on her period and we're kind of thinking like vampire blood what okay there's something's going on and you know what Twilight franchise was too cowardly to ever

fucking deal with that how many times do you think that Bella was on her period during her romance with Edward? Yep blued but isn't that crazy that like would nobody ever Of course not. Of course. Gets into it. I feel like I have seen some other vampire movies that do. But yeah, certainly not Twilight. Twilight never did. No, Bella Swan was a pro-forced pro-birth. It was never going to talk about periods. No. That's true.

So now everyone's around the table playing Mahjong. And Taiju is basically a servant in this family. She's just like bringing everyone drinks quietly, like doing dishes. She's not a person. part of the fun, not a part of the conversations. No one is asking her any questions. She's just a complete outsider. This is so fucked up. There is a moment where Kang Wu grabs her and like completely without warning is like grabs her, pulls her onto his lap really aggressively as well and is like my hot water bottle. So like fully just objectifying her as like he wants something warm on his tummy and that's her job too. I hate this. I hate this.

And she kind of like tries to pull away. She pushes and she trips and like falls on the ground and her skirt flies up exposing her underwear. Everybody laughs and laughs, especially her mother-in-law slash adopted mother. Oh my God. And Song Hewn gets this like really empathetic look and is like so really feeling for her in this moment, like, immediately reaches to help her up, and she kind of won't really accept his help either. She's embarrassed and angry. And you can tell he's really feeling some

feelings about it. And maybe they're a little romantic. Oh. But he can't fuck, though. He can't fuck. Going against the cloth. So after Mahjong, he goes home and to the church or monastery or whatever. And he's got this, like, metal ruler or rod and he just starts smacking his inner thighs so hard so we are led to believe

that he has been having some impure thoughts and then and then as he wakes up the next morning I believe he is able to hear

basically every sound in like a mile radius and he's Like that scene at the beginning of breaking down part two where Bella can see every drop of water on a, you know, faraway plant. It's exactly that we are hearing people washing their hands in other rooms and it's like blaringly loud to him. He's like grabbing at his head like it's a cacophony of sounds and what the hell is going on. He's like falling over. He looks at his skin and he sees a skin might on it.

It's like voop, voop, like zooming in and in and in. It's a bunch of those. no don't remind me about that they're everywhere let's focus on the mitochondria I'm the powerhouse powerhouse I'm the powerhouse of the cell I'm the powerhouse of the cell and he's so overwhelmed that he passes out this is also kind of fun that it's not like an immediate like it takes a while for this transformation to happen yeah yeah interesting and it's not super consistent with that but it's also not like so jarringly breaking its own rules or logic that I was never, like, bothered by the rules of vampirism in this movie.

Okay. Seems roughly like it makes sense. Okay. So he wakes up. Now the sun is shining down on him and his skin is smoking. Smoking. Smoking. And he gets up, gets out of the beam of sunlight and locks himself in a closet, windowless

closet until nighttime. So at night time, we see him opening the closet door, reaching out nervously, seeing if his skin is burning in the dark. It is not, but he is once again covered in blisters. Cut to Taiju's evening routine with Kang Wu sleeping in their bed, mouth wide open. I myself am a mouth breather. I know that mouth breathing is made fun of, but, you know, some of us really can't help it. I am too, and I do want mouth tape really bad. Yeah, I'm, you know, but I'm afraid I'd die in the middle of the night because I can't actually breathe through my nose.

No, I do think your body would wake you up before it would just let you die. I don't know, my body's portrayed me before. But he looks like a fool, sleepy with his mouth wide open. What a fool. And Taiju's little self-soothing routine is grabbing a pair of scissors and slowly like putting them in his mouth as far as it can go without like touching him and just lifting him up and stabbing without stabbing just kind of moving the scissors in and out of his mouth like as if she's practicing to stab him in the open mouth and she just does it over and over and over. It's really funny, honestly. This is a new one. This is a new self-soothing technique. Haven't heard of it before.

It's very funny. And then we see that she, in the middle of the night, runs barefoot through the streets. We have heard about calluses on her feet before. Ah, yes. And it seems to be another thing that she does. She doesn't seem great. Sure. But she has figured out ways to cope.

Keep it together. Keep going. She's going to be such a good. good vampire. We see Sang Hyun is rushed into the hospital because a patient has been brought in that has just had a terrible car accident and she does not have long to live and she wants her like last rights and confession. And so he rushes to her side. There is a lot of blood. It looks like a, you know, car accident victim. And he is praying at her side and like leaning in close to her and we see him kind of smelling the blood and looking at her throat.

There is like a cut in her throat where a lot of blood is gushing out. And he's basically licking his lips like, what the hell? That looks really good. What the hell? What the hell? But there's a couple nurses in there with him. And so he's restraining himself. He's not jumping on her and drinking her blood.

But we can tell he wants to. And he does a little like cross, like touches her. hands as he's blessing her and get some of her blood on his fingers, and then he holds his hands in prayer near his mouth as he's saying his final prayer. We see his little tongue come out as he does a little lick of her blood. Really clever. Nobody will notice. Nobody will notice. He's going to be sneaky. That's a little slack. And then later we see him go into the coma to sky from the opening scene. Go into that room. That man is just on life support. port and he takes the little tube from the IV bag, which I didn't realize that this is how it

works, but obviously it is. So normally the saline solution or whatever comes from the IV bag into your veins. So he detaches it from the bag and like tips it upside down so that now it's coming from the veins down through the tube. And he's able to suck from the end of the tube and just drinks blood from this, like a little water fountain. Really smart. Really smart. And then all the blisters heal because he's had the blisters again. He kind of takes the bandages on and off as he has the blisters.

But we now know that when he drinks blood, the blisters heal. So the blisters are kind of like the eyes in twilight, a sign of when you need to feed. But this is his first time putting this all together, and we kind of see something click in his eyes. he's basically like, oh, my God, I'm a vampire. She's a fuck, I'm a vampire. Okay, so, yeah, burn in the sun, really want to drink blood. Is God a vampire? He's putting the pieces together.

And he, without hesitating, jumps out the window, attempts suicide. Whoa. Crashes into a car below. Any other person definitely would have died. But, of course, he is completely fine, gets up. dang and so that didn't work uh we see taiju running barefoot through the streets and he appears to her he he's standing there in an alleyway she looks humiliated like she has been caught her secret has been revealed she's been caught she's also in like a nightgown not a nasty one a very cute one

a cute cutie nightgown yeah and so she kind of covers herself up though because she's feeling exposed and turns to walk back towards her house when we get just a shot of her feet as he zooms up behind her so we see that he is pretty fast and lifts her up so her feet just come off the ground is he attacking her we don't know when we see he takes off each of his shoes and then lowers her back down into his shoes, which are much too big for her. Oh, that's so romantic. So romantic. That really is. It's very sweet. And as he's behind her, kind of still holding her, letting her. Also, like, getting lowered into shoes is, it feels very like a doll. Like, you, you know, drop your Barbie into her shoes, you know. Or, like, yeah, like Disney Princess. Disney Princess. It's very sweet. It's what every woman wants is just to be dropped into her.

I just want to be lowered into my shoes, please. Is that too much to ask? He sees her blood vessels as if her skin is translucent. He can, like, see her blood pulsing underneath and can tell he's really would like some of that blood. But he, again, he doesn't bite her. And he just sends her off on her way. She goes back home wearing his big old shoes. Interesting.

Okay. And we see the next day her preparing breakfast for her mother-in-law and horrible husband. And she, for the first time, has a big smile on her face. Something interesting happened last night. Oh, God. And this is not necessarily relevant to the plot, but her husband lets out a huge fart. And his mom immediately, like, sticks her head right by his butt and is, like, sniffing his fart. And she's like, smells like the time you had gastrite.

Like she's also just like obsessed with her son in a way that's really upsetting to me. Yeah, she's like her son is like her little angel and she's just yelling at Taiju to be like, his fart smell bad. What have you been feeding? She doesn't say that, but that's kind of the vibe. Jesus. We see Song Hewn visiting his mentor and proving to him that he is now a vampire. by cutting open his chest and making his mentor feel his heart beating it from the inside.

Oh, okay. Which is, I guess, it's a pretty, yeah, it's a pretty undeniable way. But, yeah, I was kind of thinking, like, that's the first thing you tried. Show him your skin smoking. Just go outside in the sun. Yeah, he does, for the most part, only come out at nighttime now. So this is nighttime, which makes a lot of sense. You know, he's a vampire.

It makes a lot of sense. But a lot of times his, I think his shift work was night. anyways. So it's not like suspicious. It's not like, why are you only coming out at night now? And he's, you know, kind of, I was going to say, pouring his heart out to his mentor quite literally. We also see once the mentors takes his hand out, that it just heals up right away. So got it. And the mentor's like, has he reacted to this? Oh, he's being pretty chill. I guess he's blind. So we didn't see the cut happening. Oh, right. He's blind. I forgot about that.

But even still, you'd be like, so where's my hand right now? Yeah. It's like one of those horrible Halloween grab bags. Oh my God. Yes. It's like spaghetti it with honey poured all over it. But this time it's really a heart. This time it's really a heart.

And it is beating. Which is an interesting vampire detail. Wait, I don't understand. So he just wanted to prove he can't die, basically. I guess so. Yeah. Okay. And he's saying he's like, he's really distrapped by this.

And Sang-Hun is. not the mentor. He's somehow like kind of just like, well, cool. But Song Heun is saying, you know, this is, I can't believe I'm a vampire now. And I was trying to do good. I went there to volunteer to help people. And like, I didn't want this. I didn't choose this. And kind of the like moral conversation about it. Like, what do I do? What's right for me to do? And his mentor is immediately just like, well, you can drink my blood. Like I, maybe. Maybe we could be both be vampires and like maybe you could heal my eyesight and like his mentor is immediately curious and like kind of jealous and just responds in a way that Songhune is

pretty put off by. He's like this is not the kind of mentorship I came here seeking. But also a kind of a fair reaction and one that I wish was explored more because like there are so many upsides to being a vampire. Yeah. Yeah. I mean a lot of downsides. but also a lot of upsides.

He does drink his blood, so he doesn't fully shun him for this reaction. He's like, well, we'll drink the blood, but I am a little disappointed because we are men of God. And now what am I? We see him going to another mahjong night. This family, by the way, lives above a clothing store that they own. So downstairs is their business and upstairs is their home. and at some point Taiju goes downstairs to kind of close up the shop and Sung Heun is able to sneak away and go down as well

and they have their first little moment alone well no I guess second moment alone but first moment since the first moment alone she pulls out this box from somewhere and gives him a new pair of shoes from this clothing store, and they're leaning in close to each other. The tension is high, sexual tension, obviously. Obviously. And he says, I have an infectious disease, which is not really what you want to hear in this moment, but it is good to say. You do have to say, if this is the truth.

You have to be honest. and she says, well, how is it transmitted? And he says, well, definitely not through kissing because I've never kissed anyone in my life. So they start kissing. And they're getting hot and heavy. She's getting on top of him. She takes her top off.

And he's so turned on, but so angry at himself too and conflicted. And he sees a ruler there in the clothing shop and he grabs it and he just starts whacking himself really hard with this ruler. Taiju, like... Tajou just cannot catch a fucking break, man. And she grabs the ruler from him and sees all the bruises on his legs from all the times he's done this before.

And she was like, oh, you really want me, huh? Yeah. First you place me down in shoes and then I'm seeing all this? My God. And she starts kissing the bruises. and it's very sensual and being very, like, delicate and gentle. And they hold each other, and they fuck.

Oh, baby. They do it. They do it, and we are delighted for them. Cinema. And just as they're kind of reaching climax, we hear, Taiju, hot water bottle from upstairs. Ew. Wow. Real boner killer

Mood killer And she You know Both of them look Pretty upset Pretty sad To be Interrupted

Out of this moment And so they both You know Put their clothes back on Kind of straighten themselves up And go back upstairs And he doesn't even get to get off His first time ever having sex

No It doesn't seem like it He's very first time ever approaching orgasm Yeah This sexual tension is going to be off the charts now. I mean, let's be real. He would have gotten off like immediately, right? I think so, yeah. Probably. Yeah. Yeah. So don't feel that bad. We probably already did. He probably already did. So they go back up and they're rejoining the table. Taiju is looking like smiley again. They're like, what's gotten into you? And Sunhun says something like, they're speaking in code now across the table to each other. And he's like, I can't wait another week for this night or like for this.

again because Mahjong happens once a week and he's like I won't be able to wait another week and like all the family's like oh yeah we love our mahjong nights and she's like I'm really good at mahjong I'm like really really good at mahjong and he's like yeah yeah and they're like are you you have never really been that good actually she's like no trust me I'm really good I'm really good I can't wait another week for mahjong and zongyin says like I could play all night and they're like well yeah

but we better wrap it up so I love to be on top of my mahjong my mahjong innuendo through the roof but they do have to call it a night and the next day

Taiju tells her mother-in-law that she wants to volunteer at the hospital she says I just really I really want to help people So I think I better start volunteering at the same hospital as Sankhiyan On the same days that he's there So she does

And Seng Heans takes her into the comatose guy's room Because there's nobody else in there And he's the nurses don't come in very often So it's kind of kind of just free room for fucking Well There is a guy in there There is a guy in there But they have the curtains drawn over there.

So it's totally fine. And there's another hospital bed in there. So they lay down on this other hospital bed and have now uninterrupted, very sensual sex. Wow. We're slowly kissing. We're kissing each other's bruises. We're holding each other very intimately. This might be where they lick each other's feet.

I can't remember, but there's like, there's some foot licking and hand licking. It's kind of like the vibe of like, I mean, for both of them, like, they've never been able to explore any type of sex. So they're getting a little weird with it. And both of them and both of them are really enjoying themselves. And he does bite her on the neck. And she, he immediately is like, oh my God, I'm so sorry. And she's like, no, no, I really liked it.

Like, why did I like that? am I supposed to like that? Is something wrong with me? She kind of has like a little bit of a like, is this weird? Did he break the skin? Yes. And he bites her again and she's like, it feels really good. I don't know why that feels so good.

And so he's kind of drinking her blood a little while they're fucking and they're having sex. And now finally we both reach orgasm. It's honestly like really beautiful. She like cries a little bit afterwards. it's just like a moment of something that neither of them have ever had before so it looks like it feels very overwhelming for both of them but it's very pure it's very pure minus the like despite it be a vampire now drinking the blood and afterwards they're you know they they're glowing they're happy holding each other so about that disease that he says so I don't want to hide my disease from you And she says, well, can I catch it through sex? And he's like, no, but I just think that you should know what I am. And he pulls back the curtain to the coma guy's bed, unhooks that.

Look at this cool trick I know. This man loves to explain through demonstration. It is through demonstration. He lays down and starts drinking his blood. And she runs out of the room screaming. Yeah. I mean, you better use, I feel like you should use words before you do it. Demonstration. Also, I mean, I guess they haven't explained the rules, but I would imagine

she's a vampire now. Yeah, what are the rules around that? We don't know, really. And wait, does she have to drink his blood too or no? How do you become a vampire? They just drink your blood without killing you. It changes. Yeah, changes. But yes, in this movie, you do have to drink his blood as well. And I mean, that's how he got it was through a blood transfusion. Given blood. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's unlike Twilight, it's not venom. Right. His blood. Right. So she runs screaming. She runs home. We see him kind of flying through the streets. It's fun. We see that he does have some supernatural abilities. He like jumps up to her second story window. She's in the bathroom. He jumps into the like, well, windows open. He crawls into the bathroom. And he's trying to explain to him. He's like, I didn't kill anybody. I didn't choose this. I don't want you to be freaked out. Like I, this weird. we love each other. This shouldn't be a big issue. He's being, he's being a lot in this moment. We love each other. We love each other. We love each other and I'm a vampire, and so you have to love me too.

Yeah. And like, we can run away together. I don't kill anyone. I'm not a bad person. And that guy that I was drinking his blood from, he actually, like, loved helping people. And if you had heard the Spongecake story, like, you wouldn't be upset. Oh. Oh. Hey, he says, okay. Oh, I went there. I went, I volunteered to do good. And I'm a good person. And he's, he's like, It's frustrated. He grabs onto the sink and accidentally breaks the sink in half. And she's completely terrified. Even though he's using his words now, he's kind of done. He's messed this. He's goofed this up. He's goofed for sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is for sure a goof. Yeah. So, yeah. You can see that in her eyes, she is just absolutely terrified of him, recoiling from him. And then he lifts her up and is like, oh, like, you're going to come away with me. And he's about to jump out the window with her. Yep, that's not going to do it. Then he knocks over the lid to the toilet, makes a loud, crashing noise, and we hear mother-in-law, yelling out Taiju, what was that? And he puts her down and leaves, jumps out the window himself.

She's like, oh, just the toilet won't flush. And she watches out the window as he kind of like leaps down the alleyway outside her house. And he punches a lamp post really hard and, like, falls over. pretty funny he's he's bummed but yeah it's on him oh try again tomorrow well next night she actually calls him she's had a little time to think about it sure and she tells him she wants to like hear more about it she's like okay i'm i'd like to have another conversation about this so they they meet up on some rooftop they're on the rooftops that's where vampires meet sure and you know they're looking over the ledge of this roof and she's seen his his super strength and that he's able to jump in the second story window so she knows that he has abilities but they're on a pretty high building and she looks over and she's kind of like could you jump off of this roof like it's pretty high kind of she's she's curious and a little excited about it now and he looks at it and gives her a little smirk and he

puts her on his back. This is the hold on, Spider-on Spider-Monkey moment. And they leap from a rooftop to rooftop. Also 2009, right? Or was it 2008, the first one? I think the first one is 2008, the first Twilight, and this is 2009.

So this is obviously a Twilight rip-off. Huge. It's hugely inspired, obviously. And interestingly, this is based on a book, but the book did not have a vampire element in it. It was just about a woman falling in love with a priest and cheating on her husband with the priest. The vampire thing really changes the story.

It really does. Adds a nice. That's how you know that it was based on Twilight because they're like, what if we combine this? This plus Twilight. With this other thing. That's really cool. Yep.

And so now she's on board. She's giddy. They're laughing. and she's a little more like, okay, well, so can I be a vampire or what's the deal there? He doesn't really want to turn her into a vampire. They don't press the issue too much.

She's just kind of like, oh, not now, not now. She's like, okay. And as they're walking back to her house at some point, he sees that she has really significant bruises and cuts in her inner thighs. She like winces, and he's like, what's wrong? And he sees these wounds on her inner thighs that I at first was like, well, did he do it?

Because obviously we know that having sex with a vampire can... Oh, it's really dangerous. It's really dangerous. But it seems like that's not the case. He's never seen these before. And he says, did Kung Wu do that to you? And she doesn't really answer, but her face seems to say that, yes, he did. Yuck.

And Sung-Hun is enraged. He's like, do you want me to kill him for you? Like, I'll kill him. She looks a little intrigued by the thought. She's like, I've thought about it myself. He should see me at night with the scissors. We see Sanghin going back to his mentor another night. And now the mentor is once again asking to be turned into a vampire.

He's like, give me some of your blood. Maybe it would heal my vision. and I could see the sunrise again. Sangheun is like, you can't see sunrises. Like, come on. Get serious. You don't even know the rules, man.

And the mentors like gets to the point of like begging him. He like gets down on his knees and he's like, please, please, like turn me, turn me. And once again, Song Hewn is like really disgusted by this and like I can't. No, I'm not going to turn you. And I'm no longer a priest. I'm leaving the monastery. I don't want to do this anymore. So he's scariest thing, questioning his faith.

Oh, my God, he's walking away from it. He's hanging up his robes, his cassock. His vestments. That's what the outfits called. Vestments. Vestments. My mother texted me that. Oh, nice.

Thank you, Karen. Thank you, Karen. They do have a little conversation in there where the mentor guy is saying, why don't you go back and see where the blood came from? There's like a brief mention of maybe finding out the source of where this blood came from. But Sanhian says, like, there's no way I'd be able to go there without being exposed to sunlight, which, fair enough, if it was a long journey, you wouldn't be able to do it in. Also, it's like, when I'm just going to go to Africa?

Like, what? That's not exactly a quick, easy, just a little jaunt over. For what? So they kind of do, like, briefly address it. I mean, yeah, no, we're not going to be doing that. And, you know, I don't, we don't really need the answer. It is what it is. He's a vampire now.

Yeah. Yeah. So he goes to stay with the Raw family, Mrs. Ra and Kangwu and Taiju. Mrs. Ra is an alcoholic. We're seeing kind of each time we see her, she's kind of letting the veil slip a little further. She's like really drunk in this scene and is like, yeah, stay as long as you want. want remember the noodles we used to give you the noodles and like so come on you can go ahead and stay so they start fucking in secret there's they like go downstairs into the shop this is again

kind of a little montage of them pretending to go to bed and then having their secret love affair and there this goes on for a little while and then we see taiju maybe looking a little little dissatisfied wanting more than just having this be a secret thing. And we see her pull the scissors out in the bedroom with Kang Wu, who is sleeping, was mouth wide open again. And rather than do her regular self-soothing, we see her stab herself in the inner thighs. And I believe that these wounds did come from her to begin with. And Sung-hun, I think, smells the blood and, like, runs upstairs to check on her and sees the wounds and is immediately, like, filled with rage at Kongwu again, because he still

thinks that this is Kongwu doing this, and he grabs the scissors, and he's, like, about to kill Kangwu when Taiju is like pulling him back and she's like no no no like you'll get arrested like this is too obvious you can't do this here we need to think about this let's take a beat let's think about this obviously kill him but like let's take a second but like let's do it in a way that's maybe a little less obvious what happened uh so i mean or just like kill him make me a vampire we go away we serve empires or yeah just leave why can't you guys just leave that's what i would just get out of town and be vampires i mean and that is what sung he's not a priest anymore Hune was kind of seemed like that's what he was suggesting.

He was like, let's come away with me. And I don't know why she's, yeah, I don't know why she's against that. But she seems to not want to do that and rather stay here and eliminate her problems here. Well. So she convinces him to, in the middle of the night, they go out on a boat with Kang Wu. It's like they're doing nighttime fishing. There was mention of being able to fish. on this lake where it's actually illegal to fish in the lake, but if you, like, go at nighttime,

no one is there. And so it's the one time that you can fish on the lake. So they did set this up a little bit. The three of them are in a boat on the lake fishing. When, oh, God, there's, Kongwu, like, tells this story about when Taiju first got her period. And he's like, remember, and you ran into my room and you were crying and we thought you were peeing blood. And both of us cried all night long and they're like he's laughing and laughing and laughing and so it's like a moment where the dynamic is just like fully he's her like older brother it's so weird it's so weird and she's like yeah giving sanghun these looks like okay like let's kill him now let's kill him let's kill him uh so sanghun drowns him like knocks him like knocks him over the side and

kind of jumps in after him to to drown him they're both underwater for for a while. The fishing rod flies with them and hooks Taiju through the ear, like pierces her ear and then rips through the ear. Oof, like, is really painful. She's screaming in pain, but

then Asang Yun comes back up out of the water. It's done. We see the ambulance comes and police come, but they're kind of like we're going to be able to just match our stories up, that it was just a horrible horrible fishing accident. Okay, but also

you are not supposed to be fishing on this lake. Yeah, that is true. That is true. But they, they, one of the people that comes for Mahjong night is like a cop or a some official and he kind of looks at them like, don't worry about this. Like, I'll take care of this. So they did know that they, they do have like a little bit of an inn when it comes to the law. Okay. So he now goes, Sang-Hun after like talking to the police for a little bit, It seems like that's maybe going to all be fine and maybe all be smoothed over. They're released. And the case is not closed, but they're not like charging them with murder tonight.

They're like, okay, we've, you know, asked our preliminary questions. You guys go home and get some rest. Is the mom know yet? She doesn't know yet. Sung-Hun goes back to the monastery and all the believers slash followers are camped. There's just like tents all around the entrance. and when they see him they all like are like oh a healer one please please help me help me help me and he looks just so like empty and like I don't know exasperated with these people and he just

jumps and flies up through the air like over all of them to the monastery which of course confirms their belief that he's that he's magical he is completely covered in blisters now he goes to his mentor he's confessing that he's killed somebody and this is really I think this is the first person he's killed right?

So he's he didn't even drink his blood I mean I guess then that would have been out of this I think he was going to do I think she talked him out of that because she was like that's going to look not natural less like an accident so he's really really hungry

but he's also really filled with shame and he's broken his moral code. He didn't want to kill anybody. And so he's kind of confessing to the mentor. And he says that he, the body kept coming back up, that he wasn't able to keep the body down, which I think should be the point.

But I guess let's not dig too deep into this, but that he put Kung Wu's body in a closet that was underwater and put a big rock on top. of it. This is a little, this part gets a little, like, surreal or like kind of magical real, a little magical realism in here where he described, yeah, he just basically describes that Kongwu is like at the bottom of the lake with a big rock on top of him. And he's like, feels horrible. He's, he's, he hates himself. He's like, I can't believe what I, what have I become? His mentor is once again, like, completely disinterested with the moral question of this.

And it's just kind of like, please turn me into a vampire, please turn me into a vampire. Wow. Wow. And so, Song Hyun is, you know, three strikes, you're out. He's like, I need to find a new mentor. Fulme can't get fooled again. He can't get fooled again. He kills his mentor and drains all of his blood.

And he's. Well, that's one solution. Back to his full health and goes to the apartment where, Mrs. Ra has now found out that her son has died. And when Sung-Hun comes in, she's like so happy to see him. Obviously has no idea that he was a part of this, but she really trusts him and is like, oh, my God. So this is so horrible. And he's consoling her. But you can see, like, riddled with guilt and shame. And she is once again, like, so, so drunk. But now you're kind of like, well, yeah, I guess this makes a lot of sense.

And she ends up, like, collapsing in her grief. But something does happen where she kind of goes into a, I don't know if it's a coma. She's, like, paralyzed. I'm not exactly sure medically what happens to her here. But we do see her, like, briefly being taken to a hospital, being intubated. And then they bring her home shortly after, and she's just, like, paralyzed, catatonic. but seemingly still a little bit mentally there. Like her eyes are open and she's like looking around.

She just can't move. Wow. A lot of people being in a coma in this movie, a lot of. So Taiju is, you know, kind of stoked about the recent events. She's in her room getting dressed, putting on a, like, really pretty dress when she sees Kang Wu in the bed with a big rock on top of his chest like sputtering water all his snotts coming out of his nose he's also like sick the whole time and she like has to wipe his nose for him a lot and he's looking at her wide-eyed smiling as he's

like gurgling water and like kind of twitching so she's she's being a little haunted by visions of this, or is it real? We don't really know. And Sung-Hun, like, comes up to the room. I think here's her, she might scream or something, and he, like, comes to check on her. And he can also see this vision. And something happens here. I can't totally remember.

But I think it just, like, cuts to Sung-Hun being locked in a closet downstairs. He's basically turned a closet into a little coffin for her. himself in the room that he sleeps in and so cute so ghost kongwu seemingly gets him in that closet puts the big heavy rock on top of it and then goes back up to tajou and it's like on top of her and just like big smiling in her face no no no no no no no no no no and she's screaming and she pulls the blankets over her head and then he's like under the blankets with her grudge style and Sung-hun gets out of the coffin closet and comes upstairs. And he's like, it's just an illusion.

Like, don't let it get to you. Don't let it get to you. It's not real. And then it cuts to them having sex, Sung-Hun and Taiju. And it's like close-ups on both of their faces as they're like, it's just psychological. It's just mental. It's an illusion. It's not real.

And the camera pans out to show Kang Wu between them, smiling. as they're, like, having sex. And they both see, they're both seeing the same thing. I think it's not real, but the implication just being that they are, like, haunted by this vision of... They should I just fucking left, man. They should have just left. Yeah, something has come between them. And this also, I think time is passing.

It's unclear how much time, but we see that this is, like, kind of tearing them apart. They are starting to be really mean and snares. nappy with each other. We see Taiju starts having sex with like strangers and Sun Hune is like really mad at her and everything's just kind of falling apart. The mother-in-law is just in the house with them catatonic. They're having to feed her and they feed her like applesauce. They really should have laughed. My God. Why didn't they leave? situation. Taiju is getting really drunk a lot now too. She's always has a glass of wine in her hand and she's basically like saying how she was raised like a like a dog. She's like I was their

fucking dog my whole life and then she slaps her mom, Mrs. Ra. And Sung Hewn slaps her, slaps Taiju afterwards as like how dare you, which is pretty fucked up, really fucked up. Yeah, that's not okay. Not okay. Things are bad. And as she's kind of like drunk holding her face after he slapped her, she says like, how could you do that? Kong Wu never would have done anything like that.

He never laid a hand on me. And Song Hewn is like, what, bitch? Excuse me, bitch. And he obviously freaks out because that's why he killed him is because he thought that he was being abusive. Oh no And she now starts crying

Taiju is like at her mother's feet saying like Yeah he killed He killed Kong Wu And it was all his idea And And we can see that Mrs. Ra is like

Understanding what's happening Her eyes are wide But she just can't move And Taiju is saying Please forgive me And she turns to songhune and she says we were a happy family until you infected us you germ and he he says you said I was cute you cunt oh my god so things are getting really bad really quick I will say in the

movie this does feel jarring like it like goes from really good to really bad really quickly and I do understand why it would go from really good to really bad but I kind of wish they spent a little more time in this transition. So they now get in a physical fight. He throws Taiju against a wall. Oh, my God. The mom goes into kind of a seizure. She's like foaming at the mouth. Jesus. They are like sort of trying to help her, but also fighting. She gets knocked over. Mrs. Ra gets knocked over on her chair. So she's like laying on her side and her head is like out in the hallway. The chair was like right by the door. So now her head is out of the hallway.

Taiju and Sung Hyun are in the hallway fighting. And Sang Han like gets on top of Taiju and she's like asking him to kill her. He's like, she's just like, please kill me. I want to die. I want to die. I want to be with Kongwu again. I want to be with Kongu again. No, you don't, girl.

And he starts strangling her, which is always just the most upsetting thing in these movies is just a regular. strangulation out of all the horror movies I just we're out of the ways to die in horror movies I fucking hate I hate this we're hearing like bones kind of popping in her neck no no no no and he kills her and she does die wow okay and he's looking like eyes glazed over on top of her as he like lets her go there's blood dripping from her mouth and he kind of leans down and starts kissing her, licking her blood a little,

and then you see him like get overcome with grief. And he grabs a piece of broken glass. They had like shattered a window in their fight. And he starts slicing his wrist to try to pour his blood into her mouth. But he's healing too quickly. So like he'll slice the wrist open, but by the time he can get it to her mouth, it's healed. She needs to be alive and be able to get right on there. Yeah.

And so it takes him a few tries and he's like cutting it like deeper and deeper and like really cutting and like eventually he is able, he like just cuts it like right above her mouth. And then she does get some of his blood in her mouth. And by the way, this is all in the line of sight of Mrs. Raw who is just watching all of this. And we see Taiju. come to latch on to his wrist and start really drinking his blood and he is drinking her blood as well I don't know if it's on her wrist or something but basically they're making a little loop of both just chugging each other's blood chugging it does seem like it and yeah it's not it doesn't feel

great. This scene doesn't feel great. No. Not really rooting for them anymore, but... So now she's a vampire? Now she is a vampire. We cut to them painting the whole house a really bright white. Tiju is saying, like daylight, like it's daytime. But the lighting in the house, Henley,

I hate to tell you, it's all really bad. It's not maybe fluorescent, but it's overhead and cold lighting. It's just like all blue tinted lights in a way that's really unpleasant. Why do we do this to ourselves of all the things? And Taiju, now that she is a vampire, she's really feeling herself, and she's not having the moral struggles that we've seen Sankhion have. We see her like in the road at night jumping in front of a car where a man is driving and she jumps in front of his car. He hits her and like runs out to, you know, help her.

try to call the police, but she grabs him, kills him. So she's much much more open to just killing people, not feeling bad about it. Well, as previously established, he's a huge bitch.

Yikes. So Sung-Hun is like, this is driving them further apart too. He's like saying like, I'll get the blood. I am able to kill patients in the hospital who like want to die as like a sort of assistant suicide type thing he's like really trying to find a way to stay carlyle as he's really trying to find a way

to like live with himself in this new life uh with somewhat of the morals that he has had she is not interested in that she's like it tastes better like from the source i like it this way i this is what we are now why aren't you accepting that like it's not evil for a fox to kill a rabbit like we're human anymore so why are you trying to be why are you trying to live by human morals like we're not that anymore uh they get in another fight they're jumping roof to roof it's very cg i looking but also very fun like i'm glad there is full like flying through the air vampires uh love to see it and she's like laughing and running away from him like can't catch me can't catch me and they're jumping roof to roof and then she's she like loses sight of him and we don't know where he went. And so

she's standing on the ledge of this one roof and looks back, can't see him and takes one step when he is right, he's just below her on the building right below her, grabs her ankle as she steps to jump so that she falls forward, smacks her head really hard on the building across from her. It's like a, you know, it looks like it would kill a human, but she's just kind of like, oh, like, mad him. Like, you asshole, he, like, grabs her and is like, you can't do this. This is crazy. And she says, we're through. Okay, this isn't going to work.

I'm dumping you. Wow. Okay. So this is a breakup movie. And he says, but you're all that I have. Cut to back at the house. She now has EV. She's covered in blisters

She's like, I thought You couldn't get it through sex And he's like, yeah, no, like you have all my blood Like we have all of each other's blood now It's like, yeah, you have it And he, you can tell he still really loves her And he's kind of like, looks defeated And he's like, I'll get a doctor

And it's funny because it's not for like Having him check on her It's he, the doctor arrives And she just kills him and drinks all his blood and it does help. Then we have another mahjong night. Yeah, somehow they're kind of still trying to make it work again. They have another mahjong night.

The mom is like situated at the table, but obviously not speaking or moving. Real fucking nightmare for her. My God. A real nightmare. We have seen that she's been kind of moving her finger a little bit. She's kind of been getting some movement back in her finger. The friends are over from.

Mahjong night and they see that the mom has moved a finger towards two of the tiles and she's spelling something out and eventually she spells out the word killed where she does KLD and they're like killed killed who was killed and she looks over at the like memorial photo of Kang Wu in the corner and they're like Kongwu he wasn't killed it was an accident and like who would have killed him and then she's like looking at Sung Yun and Taiju, and they don't have great poker faces. They're a little like, oh, oh, my God, what? And then Taiju is kind of like, oh, yeah, well, at first she's like, she's like, mom, you're look pretty tired.

Let's get you to bed. And she just lifts her whole like sofa chair up really easily. And everyone's like, oh, Taiju, where did you get so strong? And she like puts it down. She's like, oh, do you, nothing, huh, what? She took a Sunday morning workout class. She's the strongest person in the world. Exactly.

And so they realize they've been caught. And again, Sung Heun is looking very defeated. Taiju is looking kind of excited. And they go around, they start locking all the doors and closing all the windows as their guests are like putting two and two together and being like, what the fuck? What's going on? Taiju walks.

back into the room where they are. One of the guys is like, you're not going to get away with this. This is, if you're murdered, your own husband, like, what the fuck? And she punches him so hard in the head that his neck just like folds backwards. Oh. At almost a 180 degree angle, bones crunching and popping. He's dead. There's two others, one other guy, one other girl.

They both run into various parts of the house screaming. One of them is looking for a place to hide opens a close. closet door sees the dead doctor in there. The cinematography in this, or like rather the set design, because the walls in the part of the house that they run into are the white walls. So it's like everything is like white and blue. It's like very aesthetically interesting. And Taiju is like in her element.

She's feeling herself. She's delighted to be. She's getting a hunt. Yeah, she's getting a hunt. She pounces on this guy. she's kind of doing a twilight kill where it looks like she's trying to like pull his head off she's on like on top of him

holding him by the throat pulling his head up Sunghun's kind of trying to stop her and he puts his hand around her throat and is like pulling her head off and she's given him this a real crazy smile like wide eyed huge Cheshire cat grin as she crushes all the bones in this guy's neck

he collapses to the floor dead And then she kind of bounces off of him onto Sung Hyun and wraps her arms and legs around him and is like squeezing him really hard. And you can see that he's in pain. He's like, ah. He's like, ah. And then she jumps off and he kind of gives in and ends up drinking blood from the woman guest. Yeah, I mean, buddy, this ship has sales. Like, we, there's not a lot of choices here.

I guess I might as well have some blood as well. But he doesn't kill her. He just is, like, drinking from her and, like, holding her down. And there's a moment where Taiju sees this and is kind of, like, jealous. Like, excuse me, like, with a lady, but also a little bit turned on. But she's, like, impressed, but also, like. Okay. Okay, I guess.

I guess you like that too, huh? Okay. Wow. He sees Taiju goes to, she has the two men victims and she's like trying to drink their blood and this is where we get, it looks like the taps running dry. She's kind of like slapping their necks. Like why am I not getting more blood? Boxed wine. Sung-Hun walks in and he's like, yeah, well, their heart's not beating anymore so it can't come up by itself anymore. So what you need to do is go to the feet. Yeah, you need to cut off their feet and hang them above the bathtub. just like let gravity do the work for you. And she's like, oh, yeah, that's smart. And he's like, but we really do need to get out of here now. Like this is, we can't stay here, obviously. Like, there's going to be four missing people.

So we got to go. And she's like, okay, yeah, I guess you're right. And then they get in the car. They put mom in the back. What the heck? Leave her behind. Well, there is a reason, sort of. But yeah, kind of leave her behind.

I agree. But is she just going to be like a blood bag for them now? Well, that would be not a bad reason either. I mean, it'd be pretty easy. Self-regenerating. Food source. Not a bad idea. Kind of a vibe killer, though. Yeah. Kind of a vibe killer. Sure. So they are driving through the night. And he stops at the tent village of his followers. And we don't really know why. And they both. stay in the car. Taiju's looking tired. She's kind of nodding off. So she's resting. And he goes into the tent village. And people don't notice him. Nobody's out. It's like middle of the night, everybody's sleeping. And then we just hear a scream. And we see some of the, some of the, like,

culty people rush out to the source of the scream. And they see in a tent, Sung Hyun on top of a woman, looks like raping her but she has her pants on it's hard to tell i mean but he's clearly giving the impression that he's raping her and he gets up this is where we get our full frontal like i told you it's not a fun scene right he gets up and faces them and they're all obviously horrified disgusted they punch him they're like pelting him with rocks like screaming at him as he then like runs back to the car, runs away, gets back in the car. Did he drink her blood? Is that what he was doing?

No, I think what he's doing here is trying to, like, cure them of their obsession with him and be like, I'm not a saint. And please don't idolize me and everybody can go home now. He's ruining his reputation. That's one way to do it. Certainly a bold choice of way to delivering the message. Again, I feel like he could just leave. Yeah. I know.

Why aren't we just leaving? Why aren't we taking a train to Busan? Why aren't we fucking... We only exist at night. Like it'd be so easy for nobody to ever... You just fucking go away. They've been goofed a lot here. They've really been goofy about this.

They've been goofy. They have been way too goofy. Yeah. They've been super goofy with their choices. I mean, I just wanted him to like... I wanted him to find himself. Yeah, he did not. No, that's not going to happen.

So Taiju's asleep now. He gets back in the car. They drive, drive, drive all night until dawn. And then he turns the car off, breaks the key in the ignition, breaks it off, gets out. We see that they are parked on a cliff's edge, an ocean, on an ocean cliff edge. And he throws the remainder of the key off into the ocean. Great. Great.

Taiju wakes up, realizes that the sun is almost up, starts panicking, tries to pull him back into the car, tries to turn the car on, sees that the key has been broken. She's, like, hitting him, but still, like, grabbing him, like, trying to protect him, too. She opens the trunk and, like, pushes him in the trunk and climbs in after it closes the trunk. He punches it up. So the trunk flies off the car. and she jumps to run to get it to try to put it back on and he's holding he grabs it from her and he's holding it and she's breaking each of his fingers one by one off of the trunk lid she gets it for a second and like puts herself back in the trunk and like kind of shimmies it on

top of her but he walks back over and he grabs it and he flings it into the ocean as well and he gives the mom a cell phone puts it like on her leg where her hand is and goes and sits on the hood of the car he'll get to see the sunrise yeah and Taiju lays under the car for a little bit I was going to say that's where I would go And then he like rolls it off of her and then she kind of gives in just about to be dawn. And so she sits next to him on the hood of the car and he turns to her and says, I wanted to live with you forever and ever together again in hell then. And she says, when you die, you're just dead. And she has the shoes that he gave her because they did pack a little bag because they were going to run away.

Remember that sweet moment? And she puts the shoes on and they're like kind of dangling their feet off the hood of the car as the sun starts to rise. Their skin starts burning. There's like blood tears coming from their eyes. They're like sizzling. We see Mrs. Raw in the backseat seeing all of this. Taking this all in. What a many things to see

And not be able to speak Yeah It's intense Yeah What you're going to do With that cell phone Yeah that's I was thinking that

Like that might not work It might not be enough But as Sungian is looking out To the ocean He gets this vision Of the ocean Being filled with blood And two whales

Swimming Through the blood ocean And it switches back to normal The regular sunrise as they turn to ash and disintegrate. And that's the end of the movie. Wow. Wow.

Wow. Cinema, that makes me feel sad. The way that sun is coming into my window right now, as you were describing, like, turning to sunlight turning you to ash. I was like, whoa. I'm not a vampire. Now you know for sure. Look at this.

Now we know. You're glittering. You're glittering. Emily's transforming What a beautiful, sad, interesting little movie Yeah, it's different, you know It's just different It's different. It's definitely different

Sometimes movies are just a little different Mm-hmm, mm-hmm Do you think that Blood Ocean thing is what happens when you're about to die And DMT is released into your brain? Do you think that you start seeing like Blood Ocean? Blood Ocean does not sound fun to me Blood Ocean is like kind of my least

favorite thing like worst case scenario ocean for me is blood ocean i am curious about people's different interpretations of it because it is it like oh no hell is real and here we are or is it peaceful like whales just swim in their uh natural habitat but also vampire whales being able to drink all the blood they want because they're just swimming in an ocean of blood wow there's so many different ways to look at it. I think that's, yeah, it just depends on whether you're a glass half full or glass half empty type of person. Doesn't it always? Doesn't it always? Yeah, I think the thing that's just sad is about it is that even despite the most remarkable, magical thing happening to a person that they still aren't able to like change their circumstances at all slash actually

just make everything worse. Not I'm saying that, not I'm saying that's good. I'm not saying being a vampire is good. I'm just saying that like that's kind of better. It could have made it better. That's kind of the most depressing part. You'd want to try to work it out a little better than they did. Like we said, they were really, yeah, they were really goofy the whole time, really goofed up. I mean, go to a big city. I want to see, I want to see vampires playing Blackjack in Monte Carlo, you know. I want to see vampires, like, having fun.

Might I recommend to you? I wanted the party scene. A little film series called Twilight. But, yeah, I mean, maybe that's the message that life cannot continue as, as, as, normal as a vampire because he's really trying to trying to make it work and something about that like we're not humans anymore like the foxes and evil for killing the rabbit is like that is a really interesting take on it because it's like well you still

do have access to like human morality right like fox foxes didn't use to be rabbits with consciousness exactly so it is it's still a little different but I'd agree that That is interesting. Like, we're not human anymore. So... Yeah, she's a woman who's been, like, mistreated her entire life. So obviously she's like, well, fuck it. I'll mistreat other people.

The world has been, like, very, very... Amount of power. Cruel to her. And also his need to, like, save everyone and be like, I'm only good, I'm only good. That's also, like, a really unhealthy obsession and a debilitating, unreasonable expectation. Yep.

Son is crazy. Yeah. Yeah. So neither of them. handled it well. No. So this is why, so let me remind you of my favorite vampire franchise, the Vampire Diaries. And in the Vampire Diaries, you can just shut off your morals.

Oh, yeah. You can just decide, I'm going to shut them off. And it's always like a big, huge, climactic, dramatic, like season ending. Well, it is permanent. I can't remember something can bring it back. It's supposed to be permanent, but they always come back. Those darn pesky morals. I know.

It's a way to be like, you shut off your emotions. You just like don't have emotions anymore. Got it. And then you can really party hard, basically. I mean, it's tempting. It's for sure tempting. But my morals are still here at this moment. So it's tough.

It's also tough. It's tricky. But yeah, that was thirst. Great movie. That was thirst. Jenna and I really loved it in college. Yeah, I get that. I get that.

And Park Chanwick is just. a really incredible director highly recommend it is quite bloody but not not super scary but just like intense intense and sad but really good so you know and um and no voices maybe like drowning gurgling remember when i did that that one day yeah uh put some water in my mouth I don't want to do it right now. I don't want to do it. I don't want to do it. I don't want to do it.

It wouldn't be worth it. Don't make me do the gurgly thing again. I will just say a regular from all of us here at Too Scary Didn't Watch. Goodbye. Goodbye. We didn't. We made it. Thank you all for listening to another episode of Too Scary Didn't Watch.
