It is a very stupid and I will say almost pathetic attempt at a horror movie.
It's the bye-bye man.
I'm Andrew Jupin.
Stephen Seda.
Chris Cabin.
Eric Siska.
And we hate bye-bye.
Hello everyone. Welcome to We Hate Movies. Thank you for tuning in. As always, that's right. The Some of the Worst of 2017 month rolls on as we get a horror movie on our hands that I've been putting off for a while and everybody's been talking about it, sort of. It's the bye-bye man directed by Stacey title. I think that's a fake person. Could be. I don't think Stacey title's real.
Oh, is that maybe a nom de plume of Stacey Kich? Oh, yeah, I wrote this movie. I have my name.
angry Stacy Kitch
Bye bye bye
Bye
Hollywood
They call me to
Bye bye bye man
Because I never pay my bill
At the end of dinner
That's true
But he's like living in Poland now
You hear about that?
Oh really?
What's he doing over there?
He married a Polack
And he just
He got out when the getting's good
Wow
He said bye bye
Now we should get this out of the way
Did anybody watch the director's cut?
I did
Or the unrated cut.
I have no idea what I watched.
How long was it?
I think it was one hour and 39 minutes.
I think that's the unrated cut.
Oh shit.
I think it is.
I think the only thing the difference is probably like there's that one almost sex scene.
The bucking.
With thrusting.
I feel like that's the thing.
There's some male butt cheek and some thrusting and I think some hair pulling.
I didn't rewind.
There's a couple of butts on the train tracks, which I really like.
Oh, right.
Oh, yeah.
Three little dead butts.
That was an alternate title for this.
Well, that looks like an album cover,
like a really fun album cover.
That's exactly right.
Like when the Beatles put their butts on the road.
Yeah.
Now, I think you're confusing the ladies
in the pink Floyd poster.
Wait, those aren't the Beatles?
Yeah, maybe you're right.
Maybe they are the Beatles.
So I think, Eric,
you were the first one of us
to see this and become unhealthily obsessed with it.
Well, yeah, I mean, it's like just the title alone.
It's pretty dumb.
So can you distill, like,
because let's say, like, we had to buy-bye.
Like, we had to get out of here.
We don't have a lot of time.
Episodes over.
Yeah.
Distill what the bye-bye man is about.
It's a vaguely, barely defined supernatural entity
that somehow comes into the consciousness,
like comes into the world, as we know it.
Right.
Yeah.
A world of dreams, kind of.
Yeah.
So it's like a Kruger ring.
Almost.
And he gives you visions
and he makes you
kill your buddies
which I want to do right now.
But here's the thing.
Is this episode
irresponsible?
Is this the first
irresponsible we hate movies
episode?
Because what we're doing
It's not certainly the first.
But what we're doing is people are
we're saying it
and now other people
are going to think it you guys.
We might need to pull this whole episode.
I'm just saying this.
See, the thing is Chris,
you've got questions.
Uh-huh.
And no one in the history
of mankind.
Sure.
Has ever put the words
by,
by man
together,
and if you do,
you summon a vaguely
defined supernatural
entity.
And his dog,
by the way.
Do not forget
the bye-bye dog.
The bye-bye dog is so
important.
See,
I've been calling him
the bye-bye hound.
Yeah,
I like that too.
But no,
see, here's the thing.
Like,
what Eric just said
is totally true
because if you were like
hanging out at my house,
like, let's see
you guys came over.
We watched,
a movie like we did in the old days, right?
We're having some tall glasses of water.
And then everybody was like leaving
and Steve was the last to leave and I'm on my couch
and I just go, bye, bye, man.
And then now all of a sudden
the demon is summoned? Come on.
That's right.
Don't you have to have the the the the in there?
Do you?
The bye bye, man.
No, I don't think so.
Or it's like, oh, you come over,
you like, oh, did you read Todd's Facebook post?
That really long face, it was really moving.
Did you hear that he was by?
And then Eric just goes, bye?
And then Chris goes, man.
And then that's it.
And then all of a sudden,
then there's a creepy guy and his dog coming out.
See, that's what they never play with, though.
Can it be multiple people participating in this conjuring?
Or is it a single person, like, say, in Beetlejuice?
Can I, can I, I know where it comes from
because I read the urban legend on bloody disgusting today.
What is that?
It's like a horror website.
Yeah, it's bad.
You can't just say bloody, it's bloody disgusting.
Oh, is that going to summon something?
Because some of that a creepy webmaster?
Steve Bannon somehow.
Because he is bloody disgusting.
Yeah, that guy is bloody disgusting.
No, it's apparently like it was...
Blood running from his red alcoholic nose.
Sorry, what.
Blood running from his wherever.
I had to do some web digging
because at the end of this movie, this really stupid movie,
it's like, based on the book.
A bridge to body river or whatever the flying fuck.
Yeah, by the way, nice try.
It's an urban legend about a guy
It's a totally true story
Who was a serial killer
And he was blind
Hence the dog
But he wasn't an albino
He might have been an albino
Can I tell you
Please
So in true New York City fashion
Ladies and gentlemen
In Holmes
Steve Sadek got stuck in some traffic
In a cab
So the rest of us here
And we hate movies
We're just doing some digging
About the bye-bye man
Oh they're going to docks me
You're doing some digging
We were doing some digging, and we got, you know, Andrew got this nightstand recently from the thrift store.
It was very nice.
It's got a lot of writing on it for some reason.
There's a lot of writing on it.
I don't know how much you paid, but.
We detached a part of it, and we had all, there's all this writing, and it said the bye-bye, man.
Oh, man.
Don't think it doesn't say it is.
I was stalling for you.
Thank you, because I was pulling it up.
So the story on which the film is based, this is all IMDB.
Oh, good.
The Bridge to Body Island.
has a much more complex mythology for the bye-bye man.
We just to say a mythology at all.
He was an albino born in New Orleans.
Oh, nice.
In 1912.
He's like Tommy Wiseau, actually.
That's what he is.
You're right.
Bye bye moving.
Oh, that's right.
He calls you a chick a chick.
Who ran away as a child and became a child.
and became a derelict who lived in a train yard.
I know that game.
After going blind, he began murdering people
and cutting out their eyes and tongues.
How does he get him?
I mean, I understand, no, listen, blind people are very capable.
He's a hobo man.
It's with a fucking tin can.
What is he just like tackle?
Like, you hear someone to tackle something?
I want to know.
Train yard tackles.
It's very easy.
He's homeless Babaduke.
Yeah, you're totally right.
That's all he is.
And like he, now that's a distillation right there.
The look as well.
by the way. He just misses the fucking top hat.
He's got like a stupid hoodie.
Papa Duke ain't got no dog, my friend.
That's true. So, okay, hang on.
So eyes and tongues, which he sewed together
and brought to life using voodoo.
Uh-huh.
The resultant creature became the bye-bye man's literal seeing eye dog
helping him hunt his prey.
Now, several elements.
And this is a true story.
From the story, notably the dog and the motif of trains,
were retained for the movie, though their purposes left,
more elliptical
no kidding
I would just love it
this fucking
like this grizzled detective
finds this homeless man
on the side of the road
with a bunch of eyes
and tongues in a sack
in my dog
that's my dog
hey come on ruffles
I mean I
go get more of you
this you know
it's nothing to joke about this
is based on a true story
this actually happened
I heard it happened on a night
just like today of course
I'll be honest Eric
I feel like we might be sitting
in an Italian restaurant
with Mario Batali right now
having some creepy pasta
oh yeah yeah that guy is a creep
and a ham
exactly that guy nothing
but he makes nothing but creepy pasta
now you might be asking
when are they gonna get to the gosh darn movie
don't worry two things happen in this movie
two things indeed maybe three
I don't know is it two and a half
maybe it's three because I'll tell you one thing
that starts this movie off is
the dude from Saw
going around in the 1960s
murdering everyone in his neighborhood
this movie really is exactly
like up
in that like
the rest of the movie
cannot live up
to the first like two minutes
wow I didn't know
where you were going to take that
and it turns out
it's totally accurate
so like
I'm shocked
this guy right
he's like
by the one L
yeah
the Li Wino
it's not
Not carry out ways.
No.
By the way,
you've seen these commercials
with carry outways
debasing himself.
Yeah, for a water
for colligan water.
That water's too hard,
you bastard!
See,
that's what they should do,
dude.
They should go through
all famous
carry outways roles,
not just fucking princess bride.
You know what?
I actually,
I like that commercial
and I'll tell you why.
Because I get to see
Carrie Oways again
and he's looking good.
He's looking great.
He's looking at me.
He's really looking great.
No,
I'm waiting for him
to pull from Twister.
Yes. Oh, yeah.
Now, Joe, your machine makes the water softer, you're saying?
What a great...
Unrealized water idea.
Unrealized.
Man, remembering a lot of twisted.
And then some, like, Philip Sewerhoffin's tent, it comes in.
He's like, this water's going in the suck zone.
It's coming.
The water's too hard.
It's coming right for us.
It's a tsunami.
Hey, Culligan, you heard it here first.
Okay, so Lee Waddle, or whatever his name is,
he's a reporter in the 60s.
He's apparently uncovered the bye-bye man from a kid in Iowa.
He's covering a story of this kid in Iowa who, like, murdered his family.
And they're trying to get to the bottom of what it is.
And what it turns out is this kid,
unearthed bye-bye.
He says the bye-bye man maybe do it.
Yeah, now he said bye-bye man, so now the bye-bye man is in him.
And he told his wife and friends, and they all know about the bye-bye man.
So now he has to shoot them all.
Imagine the cocktail party in which you decide to just talk to your neighbors about this fucking bye-bye man.
Hold on a second.
If I knew about the bye-bye man, I'd be talking about it non-stop.
I imagine like the ice storm and Sigourney Weaver's like the.
Bye-bye man.
And then the bye-bye man makes Toby McGuire get electrocuted and die.
No, the bye-bye man, you open the door.
You think, you know, you've got a keys party.
You think it's going to be like, I don't know, you know, Kevin Klein or somebody behind
there.
No, no, it's the bye-bye man.
Oh, man.
Yeah, you don't want to fuck that.
That was Elijah Wood who got electric.
Oh, yeah, you're totally right.
Sorry.
Yeah, so then, like, so the whole thing, this all takes place up the street from Edward
Scissorhands.
Like, literally, like, this is exactly the same.
It might be the same neighborhood in.
Oh, no, another one of my creations got loose.
Get back here, bye-bye. Get back here. Oh, bye-bye, got out.
Edward, go get bye-bye. Oh, it's snowing. I'll be dead soon.
All of my pale men.
There's just got nothing about pale men in there.
Yeah, because it's dead flesh. That I think was actually the title of Vincent Price's autobiography.
Nothing but pale man. I should have never have taught him how to turn body parts into animals.
Oh, great, my creation's sewing eyeballs and tongues into a dog again.
How stupid.
That's your what's her?
That's my dog.
That's my dog.
That's my dog.
Oh, yeah, totally.
So he just goes up to this lady.
He's really in a panic.
And he's like, uh, the name, Barbara.
Did you say it?
Anybody?
Did you tell anybody the name?
And she's like, well, I told Rick because it was really funny.
He's like, oh, God damn it.
And then he goes in.
It's an enormous shotgun and blasts her.
It's awesome.
She, like, well, she foolishly closes the door and stands right in front of it.
Keep running.
Exactly.
Well, you know, I did just tell the University of Texas, oh, now I got to go up to this.
What was that tower?
I got to go up to this tower.
You see Austin Bell Tower.
You think that's why that happened?
Yes, I do.
That dude was at a camp.
He was like lecturing.
Yeah.
And like a 200-person lecture hall and he said the bye-bye man.
Somebody told him about the bye-by-man.
I personally, and this is just me, and it might not be right,
but every mass shooting is a result of the bye-by man.
Oh, that could be.
Robert Kennedy on the campaign stump,
what we are going to do, we are going to say,
bye-bye man to the Viet Cong.
And then somewhere like, ooh.
And by the way, all the shooting is because the idea is
if you kill everybody that you're told,
and they told about the bye-bye man
no one's going to say it
except the flub is
if that's the case
don't fucking carve it
into a piece of furniture
later on thank you
a nightstand
also like I never
you never see the bye-bye man kill anybody
and I'm he's like Charles Manson
he kind of is
he did nothing wrong
the bye-bye man did nothing wrong
the bye-by-man's album
was way better than Manson's
music, though.
It was.
But, like, I'm all for the coward's
way out in a horror movie, but the bye-by man
never does anything.
No, he just feeds his dog.
That's really it.
But we do see
at, like, the tail end of the film,
some of this pulling the eyes and tongue
out of business, but we don't
even see him do it. I think that's what the
dogs do. But the people are dead anyway.
Like, they've been already killed. Like, what if
you just sat there, like, whatever, man?
Because if the dog is made of
the tongues and eyes anyway, he would,
would take the tongues and eyes and make him part of, he would eat them and add to his mass.
Here's a question is when is you going to start a second dog?
Yeah, why do you need to keep working on this one?
That dog looks pretty good.
And make like a super dog?
Like a horse you can ride?
Yeah, eventually.
Oh, the bye-bye horse would be great.
Yeah, why stop at a dog, by the way, when you can make a horse?
I think a bye-bye stallion at that point.
Yeah.
It aggravates me to no end that right now we know from just reading that.
Yes.
We know more about the bye-bye man than we ever know in the film.
You never know what that dog is.
No.
You never know what he's all about.
And when I first saw the movie, I was theorizing without having read anything about that.
I was like, oh, maybe he was like one of those, not like a box car hobo.
Yeah.
Maybe like one of the policemen that beat them to death and had dogs and stuff, right?
Remember the railroad police?
They were the scourge of the old west.
I mean, I thought it was a hallucination because the fucking.
graphics are just like it's it's a missed level first level missed like a dog that was running
around the the greens that's what it looks like that's fair that's that's also like ties into slender man
which slender man by the way all that shit you see on the internet about slender man's just missed
missed with a why it's important right because otherwise they're going to think it's the movie
and they're going to be really confused but this is like you have to say something
about something because
I watched this movie
I'd never even seen the preview for the bye-bye man
maybe like a commercial teaser
or something but I'd never really
seen a full-length preview for it and I'm
watching this movie and I'm like
there's a fucking dog he's got
yes what the who cares
like if the dog wasn't there you
wouldn't need exposition it's sort of like
oh he's just a scary guy comes in your dreams
I've seen this movie before the dog
I'm like whose dog is that
what is with the dog
So we see him shoot
We see him shoot her
We also see this other guy Rick
Who is apparently paralyzed
Who is crawling through
Like I guess he couldn't get his wheelchair going
So he's like crawling on the floor
Because it's the late 60s dude
And there's wall to wall carpet
And he can't get the wheelchair off this thick carpet
Son of a bitch
Son of a bitch
And it's kind of fucked up
Because like Lee Wano will just walks up the stairs
And there is this dude
Army man crawling
And you see the wheelchair
And it's like
oh man and he's like all right dude who did you tell and he's like oh me and the lady across
the street i'm sleeping with we're laughing about it and he's like all right thanks for the info
shoots this dude crawling on the ground all right that's a two gallons of milk and a bag of pretzels
that's a two dollars and 79 cents oh oh you know i tried this funny story once about bye bye
man oh shit i got to go that guy i mean that's the danger of this dude and i think that's what
they thought was so
genius. You know, we
were just having a family dinner. We're just talking
about this hobo from Louisiana
who has an eyeball
dog. Like, just
rapping about it. It's so
dumb. Oh, well, we got to
Hey, Ed, have you heard about this?
It's a bye-bye
man.
No!
Turn it off! Turn it
off! No, that's how you get the
Halloween three, like, theory.
That's how you do it for real.
Yeah, exactly.
Just get fucking Johnny Carson to say bye-bye, man.
It's over.
That's, you know what?
Big question.
The bye-bye man, is he, can he get to everyone at one night?
Is he like Santa Claus?
Or is he going to have to like, all right, now I got to go to there.
When they're dead, I got to go to that.
It's a million people.
Shit.
Yeah, he might not get to everyone.
That's true.
That's a really good point.
Then we're talking, I don't know, like eyeball elephant.
Like, it's no longer a stallion.
That many, that many, no.
Like the bye-bye man cross in the Alps
He's like Hannibal
Yeah
So we cut
We cut to the present
And it's the son from Big Love
Which is
Sure hey I'll take your word for it
And then to absolute nobody's like
The son from Big Love is here
And then these other two people are down here
So the son from Big Love's name is
Elliot
So we got Elliot
And then Sasha is his girlfriend
And then there is this third fucking
wheel named John.
And they've all just
like gone in on this house together
to live what they say is quote off campus
and the only thing I can think of
is that the three of them are fucking
everybody's fucking everybody.
There is a 90s movie I believe
called threesome
in which they attempt
to do what this is about.
They don't want to talk
about it and I get it because you know
you have a bye bye man but like
that's what this is. So stop
fucking with me. I remember three-sum, man.
That was some sound jack.
It is also a piece of shit
and might show up on this very program.
But yeah, like, there needs to be a fourth bedroom.
Like, especially like it's off-campus housing.
If that's the case, it's like,
it's like Elliot and Sasha and John
and then like, I don't know, Megan
or Ted or Amanda.
Right. Well, the problem is, it's like
in bedroom number three. They say off-campus,
but it's not like
they're just living in a student ghetto somewhere
downtown. Like, it's a fucking house
the middle of the woods.
It's a huge house.
It's massive.
They don't need to live here.
There has to be a third bedroom in there.
You have to have, like, there's got, there would make any, the house makes no sense.
What are the rooms are in this enormous house?
Honestly, a futon.
Get just to fucking do something.
You can unfold it, everybody's fucking on it right after you flip, just the flipping fuck.
Well, that seemed to be the big reason is that Elliot needs isolation to finish his thing on coins or real gay or whatever the fuck.
Yeah.
What?
I miss that part.
He's like studying coins or like, and he's quoting Rilke.
Yeah.
Wait a second.
This guy invented Bitcoin.
He's mining cryptocurrency.
And John was just fucking too much.
Yeah.
And he needed a better space to fuck.
The real fuck bug.
And so like the weird thing is like so they go and it's like, oh, wow, look at this creepy old house that we're now living in for no reason.
Right.
And Elliot and John are old, old friends.
They have a special friend name, by the way, which I always love this.
Which is by my man.
They call themselves Tier 1.
What?
That's their team.
Their friend team.
Tier 1.
What are they on Patreon?
I guess it's better than like Pier 1 imports.
Hey man, my group of friends, the Pier 1 imports.
We're like a wicker end table.
You want to get made fun of in middle school.
Have a fucking friend.
Have a little name for your group of friends.
Oh, like the pussy posse?
Yeah, no, but just,
Hey, it's Tier 1, fuck you!
Yeah, exactly.
Well, here's the thing.
We learned that they're jocks.
So they probably annihilated all these little kids in elementary school,
like beat the shit out of them and said,
you just got tiered one.
You just got tiered one.
Like, I guarantee you everyone coward and fear of Tier 1,
which is probably why the karma was such dirt.
shit that the bye-bye man
found him. Oh, absolutely. I like this.
Wait a second. Are they the only two members of
Tier 1? Yes, they are.
It's one thing to be like my group of
friends is X, but it's way
sadder to be like me and this other
dude are Tier 1.
That fucking sucks so hard.
I missed that whole detail.
I missed it too, and I saw it twice.
If we're playing ESPN Live
95, me and John are on a team
and we're Tier 1.
Just put in our team name.
Hey, Ted, put in tier one there, please.
And I mean, you, you, I mean, the girlfriend has definitely been excused from a room so that tier one, for a tier one only conversation.
I thought you're going to say a tier one only 69ing.
That also that.
Because everybody is fucking everybody.
Excuse me at T1s only right now.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Sasha, you're going to have to leave.
Yeah, please.
Do you have a pin?
Because, uh, me, me and John here have a pin.
Wait outside.
No, John, John, don't lose your anger.
That's, that's, you got to, come on.
Your one, come on, it's okay.
Hey, John, not to be a jerk right now,
you missed the tier one summit,
which was me and you playing Mario Party.
My stone wheat crackers went stale.
So they're moving into this house,
and this dude, John, uses something
I've not heard, uttered in a long time.
Like, he's checking out the bathroom.
He was like, oh, get out of the way.
I got a piss like a racehorse.
I was like, piss like a racehorse in popular culture.
Excuse me?
What are you, Ed Asner?
Fucking seriously.
You know what?
I heard that growing up all the time.
I think my parents used it a lot.
No, but I'm talking.
This movie came out in 2017.
Come on with the piss like a race horse.
We're bringing it back, man.
That's like the bye-bye man.
Once it's in the culture, now it's going to come back.
Don't think it.
Don't say it.
Wait, who the hell did you tell you had to piss like a race horse?
Who'd you tell?
Everyone in the earshot at that rest stop.
Oh, better go kill him.
But speaking of rest stops, he's taking a piss and he's like, hey, hey, Elliot, come in here.
You got to see this.
Come quick.
And Elliot and Sasha run down.
And he's like, look at this funny wallpaper.
And it's like, you could have, and he's still pissing.
It's a wallpaper of like a lumberjack getting blown.
No, it's a guy.
It's a fisher getting blown by a fish.
Oh, right.
And it says gone fishing.
Oh, right. He's fishing with his dick.
And he's got a big old smile on his friend, Fred Flintster-esque face.
As the fish fucking gnaws away in his dick.
I believe it was a shower curtain, maybe.
It was a shower curtain.
Oh, I thought it was wallpaper.
Yeah, it looked like wallpaper to me.
Yo, Elliot.
It was very poorly framed shot.
You know, this bye-bye man's no good.
Elliot, you want to, that should be our new tier one tattoo.
We've not yet gotten the tier one tattoo yet.
That's actually a great idea.
I almost want to get that tattooed now.
Actually, that's what we're going to do for.
for Tier 1 Anniversary 3.
So, yeah, I mean, look, they just move in.
The house is supposed to be fully furnished.
They don't know where the furniture is.
They go down to the creepy conjuring basement,
which is exactly the basement of the conjuring.
Yes.
And there's all this, there's all this bye-bye furniture down there.
Everything must go.
Seriously.
The bye-bye furniture house.
And this is where we get the bye-bye end table,
which is an end table that has three condoms in it.
And three condoms, a glasses screwdriver, and like the one of your old phone wires.
And also it says the bye-bye man.
By the way, you can't rent or buy a house that has, that comes with the furniture.
You got to make them take it out.
Yeah, you can't.
No, I don't want the bedbugs.
Yeah, you can keep those.
Yeah, never use anyone's furniture.
Speaking of creepy nightstands, I got a creepy nightstand story.
Oh, do you?
Oh, shit.
It happened on a night just like tonight.
I was walking
When I first moved to the city
I was walking home at night
And I saw like
Oh like right outside of my apartment
There's this great nightstand
I've got no furniture
I'm new to town
This sounds like a David Lynch movie already
It is because I bring it up
And I start cleaning it
I was like okay yeah
It looks nice
Just needed a little rub down
And then yeah
A little spit shine won't take care of
And then like a hundred roaches
Like literally like
Come out of it like a wave of
I am not exaggerating at all.
Oh, my God.
And I just, I was killing them all.
And it was just like, it was like fucking Starship Troopers, Chris.
And I had to like, we're going to jettison, jettison this goddamn nightstand.
So in the middle of the maelstrom, I have to take, I'm like dragging this down the staircase and throw it outside.
Oh, I ought to throw it out the window like fucking network, man.
I get the only way to do it.
Seriously.
And then I had to run back up and kill the remainders.
Oh, my God.
That's fucking horrible, dude.
Yeah, you learned that the hard way.
Never use anyone's furniture at all, ever.
Period.
Burn it.
Kindling or bust.
And that's the thing is, like, oh, cool, cool nightstand.
So they bring all this stuff.
I guess all of, there was beds and stuff down there too, which is gross.
Yeah, oh, yeah, please sleep in my used bed.
No thanks.
So they throw a party, which you would, because they're a college, they're a college group.
You know what I mean?
Like that's what you do.
It's a housewarming party, yeah.
This is a big old part.
I mean, obviously, it's a harm reason, some creepy stuff happens.
But the party's really the inciting incident, I guess we call.
So the party shows that the party happens.
Michael Truco, Battlestar Galactus, Michael Truco also known it.
Oh, Anders.
Yeah.
I think he was on, I think he was stationed on Pegasus first.
He was, no, no, he was a, they found him.
He was, what do you call it there, a pyramid player?
Remember that sport, that weird sport they invented for no reason?
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
And then Starbucks started dating him.
And she did, yeah.
Oh, everybody else left the room
So it's just me and Eric
Welcome to our Battlestar Galactica podcast
It's called Tier 1
That is of course a reference to
The Cylon Star
Star base, Star
Star, Andrew Chris get out of here
It's a Tier 1 conversation
of Battlestar Galactica
Base Star, that's what it is, Bay Star, baby
You know what, you guys can have it.
Have fun, buddies.
Chris and I'll be in the other room
until you're done.
It'll be Tier 2.
It's a great.
It's a great show. It's a great show. So it's him. And like, I don't know, it's a college party. You don't, you can invite your older brother who's like, you know, like he's in his 40s and he's got a wife. And then like... A little daughter, by the way. He comes to the party. That's a bad. That's a bad.
No, you don't. It's just like seven years old. Like, no way am I bringing a kid to a college. You've got someone in the kitchen doing a kegstand. Get out of here with that. She can't keep up. Now there's this guy with a bag of weed. Like, oh, fuck, it's that kind of party. I guess I got to wait. You know what I mean? You made all your guests angry.
Exactly. Outside. Outside.
then.
I guess it's good.
There's a porch.
I guess I'll have to lock the door
when I get a blowjob now.
Great.
Which I don't like to do.
So they're having this.
Way to ruin the Bacchanalia kid.
Well, the funny thing is, like, apparently
like his brother
raised him because they lost
their parents early on or whatever.
Yeah, car wreck or something.
It's like a party of five situation.
There was a whole party of five that happened.
Everybody wants to be.
Closer to
Bye, bye, man.
But Michael Truco looks around, he's like, oh, man, you got it made here, you got it made here, Elliot.
I just, I missed out on all of this.
And he, like, points to his kid.
I'm like, that kid is six years old.
You're 43 years old.
Like, what did you do when you're 20s and you were 30s?
Seriously.
And also this.
He was raising his brother.
That's true.
Yeah, he missed out a lot because of this fucking kid.
Now, Elliot here has one of the worst deliveries of dialogue.
like I've heard in a long time,
where he counters what his brother says.
Yeah.
The brother's name is Virgil.
Yeah, Virgil.
Okay.
He's not 97 years old bragging about how he was featured in the grapes of wrath.
Okay.
But so this Elliot turns in this guy.
He says this thing about like,
you're lucky man,
you got a fucking figured out, blah, blah, blah.
Yeah.
And in that you got it lucky man,
he makes some reference to Sasha also,
to which this dude turns and goes,
she's the one Virgil
You're just like
Shut up
Shut up
And then he's also like
Oh man
I just want what you have
You want a kid already
Elliot Elliot slowdown
Yeah
Oh it's it's weird
So this party happens
His brother and his
And the kid leave
And then this other girl shows up
Kate or Kim
Kim Kim
Kim the psychic
My favorite character
Oh really
Yeah
Sure why not
You gotta have one
there's like six characters
you'd have to be one of them
and it's certainly not any of them
three Eiffel Tower fuckers
I'll abstain
Chris Cabin
that's an abstain
I guess I'll pick the
the guy that shot
all of his family and stuff
all right that's fair
I get Fay done away
oh my favorite would be
Miss Watkins
the unfortunate librarian
oh that woman
gets a raw deal. She really does. So Kim comes in and like, because Sasha's like, oh, this house
is creepy. Kim is psychic. By the way, it's the end of a college party. There's no like dude
just sleeping somewhere. No one's fucking anything. Everybody went home. The house isn't destroyed.
Come on. It's immaculate. It's immaculate. I think the dishes were washed too.
Not one like leftover like half eaten pizza. Say bye bye to messes. So they're going to do.
By-by-man clean the house, is what I'm saying.
The ghostly broom comes out.
I'm just saying, if you think and say it, your house will be really nice.
I mean, yeah, no, no, no.
Someone's going to commit suicide, but you'll be able to eat off the toilet.
You're definitely going to kill all your aunts, but you'll have, like, a really nice island.
You should have thought it and say it when you got your fucking creepy nightstander.
Oh, yeah, I know.
I've been thinking about this lately.
Like, I wish I knew about the by man long ago.
Sure, dude.
I'm good. It came in handy.
So, Sasha's going to do a seance and a cleansing of the house with like sage and shit.
And Elliot is being an idiot for no reason.
And you really, this is where you have to watch it with this shit.
I was fucking screaming at the TV.
Wait, why?
Here's the thing.
When someone comes in and they're like, I'm going to do this, like, psychic related nonsense.
Even if you're not in on it, you don't buy it or whatever, you got to be cool.
Because in the event that it is true, the house,
the space is always weakened by the people
who are fucking around and not taking it seriously.
Here's the thing.
Like Ouija boards.
You have to be cool, but for a different reason.
That's how it goes the quickest.
Thank you.
That's a really good point.
That is a great answer.
But also, like, it's sending up a beacon, right?
Like you're playing with a Ouija board at all.
It's just like, hey, demons and ghosts.
Yeah, that's why you've got to be very careful.
You're just summoning him.
Yep.
No, I'm saying, no, I'm saying even if it goes well.
Yeah.
It doesn't do anything because you're not a wizard.
Come on.
It's not, you're not doing anything.
You're just telling them I'm here.
Can I pause to recommend an actually great horror movie?
Sure.
Called the Witchboard.
Oh, yes.
Witch board is fucking awesome.
Which board rules.
It's so, so awesome.
I saw it on Shudder.
It's a Tony Catan that nobody else is.
It's about a, it kind of starts like this where it's like a big college party.
Somebody brings over a Ouija board.
There's more fucking condescending dick.
heads in that too. And at the end of
the movie, spoiler alert, somebody shoots
a Ouija board and it's great.
With a gun. It's such a fucking awesome
movie. What years is this from?
80 something. Like 86 or maybe it's
a class A
80s horror movie, man.
Good call.
Which board two, not so much.
Oh, I didn't check out which board two. Yeah, it's
available.
So she's doing
this seance. It's just
Kim, Sasha, John
and Elliott and like Elliot's being
a dick and Kim's like, you know, don't
you know what I mean? Or like I could just
go home, you fucking asshole.
Well, he's just being like one of those like logic
penit. Like the guys who like always
are like, oh really? This can't be
real. Like you aren't making it.
It's like this man. Because what
he starts doing is he's just fucking
laughing and then it gets John
everybody's just laughing through this. Now here's what I
equated to because I'm also
just as much of a not
person right like I'm not gonna go into like as a non-religious person I've had to go
to religious ceremonies quite a lot yeah I'm not sitting there laughing through it like
exactly that's here again to Chris Kavana's point the the if you just button up like the faster it'll
go and that's what they're just fucking laughing at this woman and it's like dude she's doing you this
thing because like your lady friends down with it like just shut up and he's all just like
prove it prove it all right you know what I'm gonna go and hide something in the house and you're
going to have to tell me what it is. I think the answer is pretty clear. They
interrupted the Tier 1 summit. Oh, I see. To do this
cleaning. And she's like, could you please just come and do this for like for 20
minutes, please? This is Tier 1. Tier 1, man, don't fuck with it. Tier 1 ain't
nothing to fuck with it. We got a T1 line right
running right into this house.
So in this seance, Kim the Psychic, my favorite character.
Oh, I'm sorry, but at this point
Elliot already knows the name of the bye-bye man
Because he opened the drawer and saw a bye-bye man
That's correct
He's already thinking it
He's already thinking it
Yeah, don't think it man
Kim starts unwillingly thinking it
Because she senses the bye-bye man is coming
Yes
So she starts getting freaked out
And she's like, you know what
I don't want to do this anymore, blah blah
And then Elliot
I don't remember like what the setup is
For this fucking slow pitch screen play
But he just stands up and he's like
Oh by the way, the bye-bye man
And you're like, wait, that's how it happened?
Well, the candle goes out.
It's just like, oh, my God.
And then she's like, oh, something's coming.
Something's coming.
It's like, you're talking about the bye-bye man?
Oh, yeah.
I think it's like that, yeah.
You're not talking about the bye-bye man, are you?
Are you talking about Lionel Richie?
Yo, dude, you talk about the bye-bye man or what?
Yeah, Ted's still here.
It's cool.
It's like, it's so dumb.
But, like, here's the thing.
If someone says that, right, the other people in the room,
one of them has to be like did you just say the bye-bye man yes or like what did you say and then
he repeats it just it happens once and everyone is satisfied with what this guy just said
but it needs to be and i'm thinking of a better movie which is any movie but there's like
eight people left in the party maybe and then everyone hears it and then everyone meets a cool
interesting end this should be this should take place over one night this actually but it makes
more sense to me because this guy's got this esoteric major going on he's talking bullshit all
the time. If he just goes and
says, of course, the bye-bye man.
They're just used to at this point
is what you're saying. I love
Elliot. He's always wearing like
Dead Kennedy's shirts or Joy Division.
Because he's so fucking cool.
This takes place in 1989.
But they can't afford any of that
music so it's just t-shirt only
please. Sure. It's just like
a rip-off like social network score
kind of. Yeah. It's bad.
So then later that
night. Oh, by the way, what I love a
Bye-bye man in the way?
Yes, yes.
What I love about this is he's sleeping in that creepy room,
which again, they've never taken anything out of.
No, it's terrifying.
There's fucking shit everywhere.
Emperor Palpatine's robe is hanging on the wall.
I don't know what that is.
What the fuck? Why is that there?
You know what?
If you move into a house and on the wall is hanging someone's old boxing robe,
throw it away.
Immediately throw it away.
Definitely being haunted.
Yeah.
100%.
He like opens his eye at late at night and sees the bye-by-man,
hooded in that thing
numerous times
and throw it out
and also there's two tiny
conjuring doors
on either side of the room
Oh my god
those little tiny doors
or old houses
That was actually
Man they exist
When we stayed in Portland
We had an Airbnb
And I was in I got the short straw
Because Chris got the better room
And it had the tiny little conjuring door
Good news is I was messed up the whole time
So nothing
So anything that could have happened
Might have happened I don't know
That's what's great
about being messed up all the time kids
is you just feel invincible
because it's just like whatever like
if the bye by man claims me
you know what that's his problem
now because this is a fucking mess
if the kid from don't look now comes out
now now here's the thing
we got to the point where this is the first time
we see the bye by man in this film
and I have to say
one this is a waste
of Doug Jones time and talent
it's really obnoxious that he was chosen
for the bye by man but also
what a lazy
lazy
monster design
it is a fucking
it's powder
wearing a hoodie
this this was a weekend for him
this was this wasn't even
I mean because he's barely in the movie
yeah I mean like the shape of water
he probably took like that's like a whole day
of makeup
and then you're finally like this is like a fucking
three hours tops
but it's just white makeup and they put a hoodie on
like that's the bye bye man
he looks like a cross between
the jigsaw puppet
as a person and like a dude outside of time square bag and virtue
like that's kind of
the mix of it also the elf king from hellboy too
yes a little bit yeah oh yeah oh you're totally right yeah I mean it's
wait is the bye by man royalty
no he's not he's not monster royalty
but then he'd be up there with like the wear man
I don't know dude I'd be like a distant cousin of Elizabeth
I heard he was Dracula's cousin
I heard that
I heard he was Dracula's cousin
Do you think he's like
Is he trying to get in
With like Kruger a little bit
Because you know he's like
He doesn't talk
So that's a problem
Right
He doesn't
He is the worst villain
Ever made
I don't think he gets along with Kruger
Because he's kind of like
Blade to Kruger
Oh I said
Because like Kruger
He can only get it
While they're sleeping
And like he can just get
Any old time during the day
Right
That's true
You're stealing my bit
I think he's
more like Bloody Mary's nemesis.
Oh, I see. Or like a foil
to beetle juice? Has there been a
Bloody Mary movie at all? I think there was.
Yeah. I'm really excited. There's a movie coming out. I think
it's called Truth or Dare this year. The trailer
is Stupid City. Oh, really? Is it stupider than
what the fuck is that Happy Death Day? I wanted to see
that. Groundhog Day, but some girl be it and
butcher? The trailer looks terrible.
It did, the trailer does not do it justice. I do want
to see that because I've heard a lot of it's not that bad.
truth or dare is somebody
starts playing a truth or dare game
a group of teens or whatever
but it never stops and everyone keeps like
escalating yeah keeps happening
because high school feels like it's forever
something like that it looks dumb
as fuck but here's my question
would Sally Hawkins character
be attracted to the bye bye man because
you know it's it's her type right
it's like smooth bald
mute mute doesn't speak
but does he
Chris, this is a podcast.
I forgot for a moment.
I did the hand thing that's...
I think his dick is more humanoid,
so that might even...
So that's, I think...
Right, because it's just Doug Jones
wearing a jacket.
His penis is totally fine.
The bye-bye man's origins must be human, you know?
Yeah.
Right.
I guess like the urban legend you had earlier.
He was an albino, New Orleans orphan.
Yeah, it was hung like a horse.
Michael Shannon comes that, you know,
and back in the Amazon, they worship the Bible.
by man like a god
does that look like something that was made
in the lord's image i didn't
think so bye bye
oh no i'm thinking it and i'm
saying
oh man he'd be a great like detective
on the heels of the bye by by man
which they do have Carrie Ann Moss who's wasted
in this movie totally wasted what she should
have a role yes
have a role in this
no no absolutely not so the next night
the next morning uh john has slept with
him or we think. Yeah, John fuck the psychic.
Yes. John was doing the right thing because
Elliot's being a dick and then he's just like,
man, let's just take this seriously.
You know what you're doing, John. Yeah, no, he's
got this thought out. And he gives her a ride home
in the morning and he's being really
jerkish which we don't know John to be.
Well, but it's also, I think there was a little
subtext there that he didn't perform well or something.
That's what we learn in the car. Yeah, dude. He went
flaccid during intercourse.
And that's my question.
He says it never happened before,
which everybody always says.
But he says it never happened before.
My question is,
is the bye-bye man like...
Did he buy by his dick?
Yes, thank you.
He's like searching for boners.
And he's going, bye-bye.
And he touches it with his weird big long finger
because he's got longer fingers than normal people.
He does.
And he touches your dick and it goes instantly flaccid.
That's the thing, dude.
Bye-bye man is cinema's first paranormal cock blocker.
That's exciting.
is shutting it down all over
this movie. It's outrageous.
That's honestly
because she says she had a problem too.
That's a franchise. Rebranded, that's a franchise.
She said she had a problem too. Yeah.
Yeah. She both got bye-bye. He just colds everybody's
genitals. Dude, it's like the cooler just without gambling.
I want to see
more of this. I want to
see the bye-bye man like
shutting down. Like, well, we'll use
this powers for good or evil is the
well also, but it was also John's first night
not sleeping in Elliot and Sasha's bed.
that's true
I mean this was only
yeah so that's a problem
and he sees
he has a freaky moment
where he sees like maggots
in her hair or something
right
and she's like
yo dude you want to try again
because my roommate's not home
like this is cool
you know what I mean
like this is a great afternoon
for John
I'm not gonna fuck somebody
with maggots
falling out of their hair
but you shake your head
it's gone
you're figuring out
also but yeah
it's like three
maggots
like they didn't have the money
to get that many
maggots
because it was like
two or three
I'll still sleep with you
it's not
that many maggots
coming out of your
fucking hair
man
it could be anything
well that's the bye-bye man
again he's like she's got maggots
in her hair man you wanted that
cool and off
beep oh where to go
oh wow
a really big exciting date huh
nope
oh anniversary
wait hold on
nope
he was like he was a silent
Roll and there's something about Mary.
Yes.
So yeah, he freaks out.
He kicks her out of the car and then like speeds away.
And all this time like Elliot thinks he's like hearing stuff in the house and whatnot.
And he starts hearing the scratching noise.
And I got to address the scratching noise for a second.
What was that?
That was just me bumping glasses together.
Oh, wait.
That wasn't the bye-bye?
No.
But so like he, the first sign of the bye-bye man like getting closer to them or whatever is.
Maggatrious.
Jesus Christ.
When was he born?
Yeah, I don't know.
It's just New Orleans, 1912.
That's all the information we have.
New Orleans, 1912.
Bye-bye, man.
Born in the street?
No, so they're like, he's like,
oh, do you hear that?
Do you hear that sound?
He's following around.
He follows it at the basement,
all this shit.
I want to hear from the people
who are doing the sound design
for this movie, because you know what it sounds like?
It sounds like it's like a tiny animal
ripping a bong.
because it's like a high pitch
and he's like that scratching sound
and I was like what scratching sound
and the sound happens again
he's like does anybody hear that scratching sound
and I was like no but someone's fucking hitting
a water pipe really hard
it's a squirrel getting high in your basement
yeah that's the worst
fucking sound but if he tries to get his nut off
bye bye man
it doesn't sound anything like
scraping and it's supposed to be
scary I mean there's a couple of jump scares
this early bit we're like
the Bi-Wan's there
and one of them actually got me
because I always fall
for jump scares
like oh you know
they know that
they know that
whatever man
what an idiot I am
so like
Elliot also like
is shitty to Sasha
because she starts
getting sick
and he's like
maybe you're just hung over
because you drank
so much less
and it's college
it's our first party
fuck off
no we are adults now
we live in a house
just the three of us
and we're adults now
I have to write about
coins later
today okay okay we're here to do important things
by the way big love was a long time ago and that kid was 17
then you know what I mean it's oh really yeah this kid's like 30 something
oh yeah it's a real whatever so he goes down in the basement
there's some jump scares here with the dog this is when I was like
what's this dog because it's all computer
it's all CGI chapter 2 what's this dog it looks terrible
the first couple times you see it I wasn't even
sure that it was a dog. Yeah, I don't know what it, like, it's so undefined. Well, because it's
supposed to be constructed of, uh, voodoo-laced eyeballs and tongues that have been sewn together.
It looks kind of like meat wad. Yeah, yeah, it does. From Aquitin Hunger Force, honestly,
with a, uh, yellow eyes instead, I think. Later in the movie, even Fay Donaway doesn't have
the answers. Like, you have that, like, you bring in Fay Donaway for this, like, exposition
dump at the end of the movie. Yeah. But it doesn't tell you what the bye-bye man is. So, like, what's
the point.
So the things are getting
spookier and spookier around the house
kind of a deal.
Sasha's getting more sick.
At one point she's like,
so the bye-bye man says bye-bye
to your like lung health a little bit?
I think that's the idea.
Yeah, the bye-bye man,
dude, he's a lot like black mold.
Oh, I see.
You don't want that black mold in your house.
You're going to start coughing
and the next thing you know you're dead.
It's true.
It's what happened to Britney Murphy.
The bye-bye man is cancer.
Good luck getting a boner
or running at the gym.
but yeah so all these all these like crazy things are happening whatever and so
Sasha's like oh at one point last night Elliot this is weird I blacked out and I filled
an entire notebook with drawings of the bye-bye man and it's like you know what movie
pick a symptom yes is this a fucking haunted house thing is there a dog running around
are we sketching things unconsciously hey honestly and this is just a very basic thing
I would rather see her doing that
than more talking between these two white nothings.
Nice note.
Show, don't tell.
Thank you, Eric.
That's actually very true.
At this point, speaking of white nothings,
it's kind of weird.
It's a weird trope to introduce, like,
John is black,
and, like, he is so,
Elliot is so threatened by John sexually,
it gets to the point of like,
what are we doing here?
Yeah, it's kind of weird,
but that's why I thought, like,
they should just all be fucking.
Exactly. I just assumed, I mean, really.
It just turns to do it like, no.
So, no.
Somewhere around here, there's a really quick thing that, of course, comes to nothing,
as in the time-honored tradition of the bye-bye man.
There's like that one shot of the haunted wallpaper.
Did you see that shit?
Oh, yeah. The My-Ban man gets in your wallpaper for a minute.
God, it is like black mold, man.
The next day, they're like, oh, I think something is going on.
We're going to investigate.
what's going on in our house.
Right.
You go talk to the landlord, Elliot's like,
you talk to the landlord, Sasha,
I'm going to go,
I'm going to go ruin this librarian's life.
You know what?
You talk to the landlord,
I'm going to kill this beloved librarian.
Well, isn't he going to see Kim first,
or is that after?
No, that's after.
So he's going to the library
to do research about,
because he,
by the way,
that fucking draw
that had the thing that said
the bye-by man on it,
he had to tear away
some like other,
you know, paper that was on the drug.
That said,
don't say, don't think it,
Yeah, just like over and over in like a huge spiral.
So that's like what he has to go on, like while he's doing newspaper research.
But this fucking scene with the girlfriend here is one of my fucking total bye-by-man phase.
Because she walks into this greenhouse and she's sick as shit.
She walks up to this dude.
And she's like, oh, Mr. McGillicuddy or whatever the fuck.
He's the dude that owns his house and works at this greenhouse that she's standing in.
There's a lot of stuff going on Mr. McGillicuddy does.
And like she's coughing through this.
Oh, Mr. Daisy is this dude's name, by the way.
And he, she's like, oh, I'm living in your house, by the way.
And I got to tell you, Mr. Daisy, your house is fucking terrible.
And she's like, oh, I'm Sasha, whatever.
I live with Elliot and John, to which Mr. Daisy replies, oh, yeah, the two handsome guys.
Well, I mean, an awesome line.
Well, that's my, her first line to this guy when she walks up is, Mr. Daisy, you have a weird house.
And I got to tell you, I'm sure she's a very nice person to hang out with.
This actress is terrible.
No, she's the worst part of this movie.
It is impressively terrible.
The girl who plays Kim is also awful.
She's better.
She's like leaps and bounds better.
They should have like unmasked like Mr. Daisy
and he was the one behind it all this time.
Like he's like a secret black magic dude.
Oh, fuck dude.
It's like Scooby-Doo.
Yeah, yeah, exactly like Scooby-Doo.
Because Scooby-Doo episodes are better than this movie.
And if he could, he's like astral projecting himself as the bye-bye man.
Right.
That's why the power's.
are so inconsistent and fade out
and there's no rhyme or reason.
It would be great if she was like,
oh, I'm living with Elliot and John
and he's like, who?
A tier one?
Oh, tier one.
You're living with Tier one.
You mean my pretties.
Well, it's your classic.
That are in my pretty house.
It's your classic,
I'm a character actor.
I have nothing to do in this scene.
Why don't I be gay?
You know what I mean?
I'll be the gay.
Exactly.
What's my motivation?
I'll just be gay.
Oh, the two handsome guys.
It's a great delivery.
I love it.
So John, Elliot goes, John has a class, goes to class, and like the bye-by man is on his phone for a little bit.
Oh, that's right.
Yeah, he's sort of skimming.
He's watching an eye movie with the Bye-bye man in it.
The By-bye man puts a fucking flipbook in this dude's phone.
Hey, check this out.
Oh, yeah, but they took a bunch of pictures at once.
It makes it look like I was in a silent movie.
Maybe he was.
Maybe he was a silent film star.
Oh, that's a way better thing for the Bye-Bi-Man.
He fucking burns to death in a studio fire.
he's like max shrek yes the nospheratu guy yeah not the uh tim burton villain no no not
yes not the mayor of gothic or whatever the fuck happened to that movie it's a brilliant film uh
he um what he called there the elliottottes who's the librarian and like he by the way he this
is the most unrealistic bullshit thing in the movie he goes into a fake google which it's called search
dot com or something like that. Yes, it is.
He literally, without quotation marks, and that's the
important part. Just types in the words
by-bye man. And just
he gets zero
search results. Which is ridiculous.
That's a, I thought the same thing. I was like,
nothing, nothing. Even if you put quotes, you would get
like a million
results. A million.
6,000 manga or anime
fucking. Or like, you know, somebody
somebody who's making a big deal
about like the male lead and buy
by Birdie and they were like by
by man like the dude left the production
there's an article about that
there's an article about
Mad Men when Sal leaves
or whatever oh right there's a
bye by man commercial
by bye by bird
by birdie commercial
there is yeah yeah yeah oh here's a question
so when when when
when Doug Jones dies in a hundred years
right God bless the newly elected
senator from Alabama
no wait you mean the act
the mocap actor and
also sort of actor.
He's great on Star Trek Discovery.
Will there be?
Because there's always that really terrible.
And this is a really fun thing to look at comic strip obituaries.
And it's always like St. Peter saying something.
Is St. Peter going to say bye-bye, man, to Doug Jones?
Oh, I see where you're going.
Yeah.
No, I mean, no one's going to remember this movie when he's dead.
I hope so.
I hope this movie is fucking buried.
Buried!
Oh, yeah, right? And then eventually, like, in like 20, 30 years, some kids going to come across an old dusty DVD case.
Oh, right. No, no, no. I buy man. And then the infections spread.
This. No, stop it. This is Jones's in memoriam.
Hellvanty. Please. Oh, Jesus. Not hellboy, not fucking. By the way, did you guys see? And this is kind of directed specifically at Eric because he's the only one that gives a shit.
Doug Jones portrayed Slender Man in a movie already.
Well, is that the new Slender Man?
No, it's the old one.
No.
I saw this.
What?
Did you see this?
No, I'm going to this weekend, though.
Wait, because it's not called the bye-bye man.
It's certainly not called the bye-by man.
It's like beware the Slender Man or something.
No, no, no, no, no.
That's the documentary from HBO that wasn't as good as I wanted it to do.
Yeah, it was kind of a big letdown.
It was just about little girls stabbing each other?
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
It's just like the court case and trying to make me give a shit.
No, I was really disappointed.
Is it this thing?
No, hang on.
Doug Jones is a very popular man here.
Oh, man.
Bye-bye, man.
Oh, my God, not going to be able to find it.
I think this is fake.
Because it's something that's...
Fake news about Doug Jones.
Well, if I come across it, I'll be sure.
Why would anyone support Doug Jones over Roy Moore?
Doug Jones is a famous movie monster.
He breathes underwater, folks.
Can we dress somebody who breathes underwater?
He could go back to that shithole water where he came from.
All I know about Doug Jones is that he is a faun that is very misleading.
He tells you to go this way and then that way.
It's from 2015.
It's called Always Watching, Cullen, a Marble Hornet's Story.
Oh, wait, what?
Yeah, and it's basically.
basically fucking look at the poster.
It's just fucking Slender Man.
Oh, yeah, that's Slender Man.
We got a slender man in there.
Oh, you got a slender man in there.
But he's called the operator in this movie.
Yeah, no, but it's just totally slender man.
What a cool operator.
So he gets zero results, which is insane.
Oh, right.
I mean, did he even ask Jeeves?
Jesus Christ.
I totally forgot about Ask Jeeves.
Remember that butler that used to walk around the internet for you?
I remember up until and including right before I got to college.
So, like, 2001, I think when the towers went down, I was still like, I like that Ask Jeeves better, man.
Asked Jims, what happened in Lower Manhattan this morning?
It was a terrorist attack, sir.
Oh, oh, sir, no.
I mustn't say it.
No, I really, I was like, oh, that guy's working for me.
Google, what's that?
Ask Jesus.
A butler that gets you information.
I did like having an electronic butler.
Yes, because Yahoo, it's like,
who's this crazy man?
This butler.
I think he could get something right.
A little classy internet searching.
But so he gets zero results,
which makes absolutely no sense
if you know anything about the internet.
And which is if we should.
It should.
And he goes to this library and he's like,
oh, I did find that there's one article
that's in the dead files.
And by the way, it's...
The Deadfiles.
Dead file 69.
Like, it has to be...
It has to be any other number.
Is that what it was?
It's literally Dead File 69.
I'm not kidding.
Oh, man.
That's a fucking X-Files
porno parody, by the way, guaranteed.
So when you get two dead people and you make it 69...
And then you file it away.
You're definitely going to jail.
You go to jail for that?
Yeah, dude, you can't, like, defile corpses and whatnot.
Why not?
They made a law about it.
But...
Because people were doing it.
That's what's great about that law.
They had to make it because people were definitely doing it.
What if the government was doing it for scientific purposes?
What?
Making corpses 69?
You never know what will bring someone back from the dead.
My God, the cure for cancer.
It's been right under our nose the whole time.
We've got to make all these corpses 69.
That was mostly Peter Vinkman's research.
You never know what he was doing before.
That's what it was.
Under Jeff Sessions.
So he's like, oh, it's Deadfall 69.
she pulls up the news article
this is when we find out that
this the guy
because we don't know anything about
Lee Wan-L at this point aside
that the fact that he shot a woman
and a paralyzed man
right that's it
we find it he's a reporter
blah blah blah he wrote this story
and then like
and here's the thing
Elliot you idiot
he's just like he's like
yeah it's the bye-bye-bye man
she's like the bye-bye-bye man
the bye-bye man the bye-bye man the bye-bye man
the bye-bye-bye-bba-ha
yeah because he's a fucking
prick who doesn't take this shit
seriously even though at this point
he's got a full-on
haunting on his hands. Exactly. You've met the bye-bye man. You've at least seen his dog. You know what I mean? At this point, like, you know something's going on. That's why everything's going on. So, like, yeah, he's reading this article. It's like, and then he killed everybody because he didn't want anyone to know the bye-bye man. Oh, yeah, no, yeah, Miss Watson. It's the bye-bye man. Poor Miss Watkins. They never printed this for some reason. Maybe it's what I just said. Hey, Miss Watkins. My eyes aren't so good. Does that say bye-bye, man? It looks like it says bye-bye man. Also, this is, this is, this is.
something I truly appreciate about
Ms. Watkins and how seriously
she takes her job at this fuckhole
USA town library
because she
makes this dude put on a
fucking white glove and he's like
what? And she's like, this is so you can go through the archive
and the oils on your hands don't get
all over it. I was like, you are not touching the
first draft of the Old Testament lady.
It's a fucking newspaper
article that never got printed on
the bye bye man. It's not
Tolkien's letter to C.S. Lewis.
it might as well be
this is the only surviving
ephemera about the bye-bye man
speaking of corpses I'd like to see 69
it'd be messy
that'd be less Christian of both of them
so oh you know the bye-bye man
by the way haunts this library
a little bit because everyone's fucking his ears are burning
he's like I heard you cross down man
he comes in he's sweating
he's out of breath
jogged there
I was getting lunch
But I heard my name
40 times in a minute
That's a record
Dish coach heavy
My dog
I outran my dog
Yeah why is he jogging
In a huge hoodie
Is he Martin Lawrence?
That's a joke from 15 years ago
That works still
He like it's a thing
Where like Elliot's reading a book
And he looks up
And the Bibleman is a little closer
A little closer a little closer
This was getting me
And I was getting annoyed with myself
We do have a new
Buy Buy Man in power by the way
because Elliot is like, oh, Sasha, I'll meet you at 2 o'clock, and he checks his phone.
Right.
And he's got a full battery.
Yep.
And then the bye-bye man goes, and then his phone dies.
It's like, he just, bye-bye man, your phone.
I've heard about this.
Yeah, no ghostly energy.
They can drain batteries.
It helps them manifest.
Just like UFOs, dude.
Exactly.
That's like the, I just rewatch the pilot of the X-Files.
It's all about missing Tom with UFOs.
It's all about cell phones dying.
Oh, oh, you're second.
texting with your girlfriend, huh?
Bye-bye.
Oh, yeah, totally.
Oh, double bye-bye.
Oh, he will fucking, he will blow it up
on cam girls all over the internet, dude.
That's what Steve Jobs did.
That's why your iPhone is shit in 11 months
because it's got a buy-by-man protocol
that destroys your battery.
Wait a second.
Activate bye-bye-man protocol, Tim.
You know what?
I'm going to put it out there.
Steve Jobs kind of looks like the bye-bye-man.
He's sort of done.
He's probably more so now.
Unless he was cremated.
But no,
is there a connection?
Mm-hmm.
Oh, I see.
Is he the bye-bye man, you know?
It's probably a closer connection
to that dude who plays
the giant on Twin Peaks.
Although he did.
That guy looks like the bye-bye man.
He did have a little bed
next to his bed
full of tongues and eyeballs.
That's true.
That's where he got the idea
for the iPhone.
Do you think?
I fell out of his nightstand.
Speaking of the giant for Twin Peaks,
who's having a bit of resurgence now.
He was in that...
What with Twin Peaks?
What was Twin Peaks?
but he was also in that
Gina, not Juna Greshon,
crap, that movie,
it's not Molly's game
because that's the
Gerald's game.
Oh,
he's in Gerald's game?
He is as like a creepy thing,
which I'm not going to spoil,
but he's a creepy thing.
Interesting.
And I feel like that role
would have went to Doug Jones.
That's the movie with Carla Gugino's
tied to a bed the whole time.
Yeah, but more so than other stuff going on.
Yeah, I've heard some good things.
Bruce Greenwood.
Yes.
Yes.
And this is a game?
It's worth watching once.
is it kind of yeah kind of sort of um so uh he loses all this time at the library all of a sudden it's magically like 247
your phone went bye-bye so he runs into town and he sees sasha get in the the car with john sorry there's one
thing i i want to backtrack on because it's one of miss wotkin's greatest moments in the film oh she's my favorite
character yeah sure so he during the whole like when the bye-by man is inching table like the bye-by man is doing
bye-bye musical chairs
and he's like inching table to table to table
like getting closer to Elliot
Elliot is looking at this
super rare like King Tut era
fucking newspaper article with his white glove
and he's crossing out with a pen
wherever it says bye-bye man
and with every cross-out like the bye-by man's
getting closer and then Ms. Watkins
comes up and gives a fucking grade A
what the hell are you doing?
And it's just this lunatic kid
just scraping all like this
rare newspaper thing, and she
kicks him out. It's a
great Ms. Watkins' moment. He already
ruined her life, so he might as well go on with
it. That's true. So, um,
he tries to track down
Sasha, because they were supposed to be up, and what
does he think he spies? Uh-huh.
But Sasha and John cross
parking lot canoodling. Big
problem. That's gonna break up tier one.
Yeah, he's like, didn't John have a broken
dick? What the hell? He told me about that psychic.
And then like, Snoke comes
on the glass.
That's right.
Oh, that's right.
There's a quick bye-bye man
like windows scare.
Oh, that's interesting, Chris,
because now bye-bye man is
underdeveloped and you don't know
his whole genealogy,
much like Supreme Leader Snow.
And everybody was fine with this movie.
That's kind of true.
No one fucking protested.
The eyeball dog was like behind
the throne, I guess.
In the throne room.
Well, now I'm kind of thinking
of the bye-bye man and Snoke in like
kind of a trading place's situation
because the bye-bye man is homeless.
Snoke's walking around with a gold robe.
They're both like six foot seven.
Like, yeah.
I could see this happening, man.
I'd buy a ticket.
You know what, Rudolph?
I'll bet you $1 that that bye-bye man cannot run the first order.
I'll take that bet.
Oh, you see, you see, couldn't even make it two through two movies.
Pay up.
Cut in half, Randolph.
oh man oh in that flashback by the way it's it's uh revealed that like lee wano murdered way more people
yeah he went to some other he like their house yeah he went over the the neighbors that they were all
having like a laugh about it he killed them all i think it's the first time we see the dog eat the
eyes and the yeah the bye-by man walks in like surveying the situation and he's like sounds pretty good
and then the dog comes up and starts munching down on this lady all the while lee wanel is
making himself a drano cocktail oh yeah he'd
fucking traino, oof.
Well, he tries to shoot himself
and he tries to shoot himself
like an alternative rock musician in the 1990s,
but that doesn't work out.
Twice he fails at that.
He's out of no more bullets.
Bring more bullets, dude.
Exactly.
Or just like, take the second to be like,
all I have to do is not talking about the by-by-man,
go to the gun store,
grab some more bullets.
It was, you know, I'm going to sandwich too.
It was early 1960s, Wisconsin.
Go to the next room, they'll be a gun.
also just check the chamber you lunatic so it doesn't work out it's like what's the
all right so shooting myself and like really quickly killing myself isn't going to work out
right what's the next best thing oh i'll drink some drano man what a way to go that stinks
that's got to be really painful and he's just it's great because like the bye bye bye
man's like surveying the situation like yeah man pretty cool it's like you'll never
went glug glug glug glug glug glug glug and there's no effort from the bye by man
and like stop this and all he just looks
on what he wanted to call poison control
no my friends in trouble
who did you want like the legend to live on
yeah because that's the whole thing
if people forget no 17
Whitaker avenue not white
acre
you gotta get here quick man this guy's in trouble
well like I guess you know I don't know
if it existed yet where you could call 911
and they would like come
or check up on you no matter what yeah no matter
I once accidentally but dialed
911 the cop showed up and my parents
house.
Yeah, that was weird.
If you went to jail that time.
I remember this very vividly.
I was watching Back to the Future too, like in the den.
And my parents had these like, in their house at the time, this like sliding like pocket doors.
A good den door.
Dude, these fucking den doors swing open.
There's my father like sidled with policemen.
And I was like, what?
It's altered at 1985.
Did you dial 911?
My fucking ass did.
from that shitty, like, little silver
Motorola cell phone with the blue light-up
buttons. Oh, yeah, you'll butt out
everybody. Yeah, it sucked.
Oh, God. So, uh...
But, like, yeah.
Like, the by-bye man can't ghost...
Back then, he couldn't ghostly dial 911.
I feel like you have ghost powers enough
to dial a phone.
Oh, I see, now you could.
Yeah, well, it can.
Back then, he couldn't, unfortunately.
So, yeah, um, he does kill himself with Drano.
Uh, uh, Elliot goes to Sasha.
He's...
This is Kim, the psychic.
Elliot goes to Kim the psychic.
Kim, what's going on?
And, like, Kim is washing blood off her hands.
She's like, oh, I'll be right down, Elliot.
Something's going on.
And she's like, who did you tell?
Because Kim's ahead of the game now.
She goes the beginning and end of the bye-bye, man.
She's killing people already.
She is.
She killed her roommate, apparently.
Yeah, and this is why Kim, the psychic is my favorite character.
She's fucking on top of it from the jump
and is assessing the situation and handling it appropriately.
She's ready to old boy everybody.
Exactly.
That's right she's a hammer
Which again
Hey this movie sucks
Show me that scene
Of course
Even in the unrated cut
That's not there
See like seriously
The only reason
You have an unrated cut
Is for a split second
Doggy style shot
That's what we're doing
Yeah
Fuck you
Fuck you
I paid a fucking extra dollar
On Amazon for that
You fucking cheap skates
But yeah she's like
Oh you know
Who did you tell
He's like well I told
You know
Miss Watkins
I told
I just like, well, I've got to go kill Ms. Watkins.
When they're driving back to the house to do another sands, that's what he wants to do.
He sees, Kim sees a family on the side of the road on the train track.
Oh, boy.
This is, you know what?
This movie is terrible.
This scene is awesome.
She's really on top of the game.
It's pretty good.
Well, dude, no one is more powerful than the bye-bye man.
Also, she's a woman, so this movie's not going to let her do anything.
That's all Elliot.
because John, big mistake, born black,
so he's not going to be able to solve anything.
It is fucking little white Elliot,
all grown up from hanging out with E.T.
So do you think the bye-bye man was like checking the train schedules?
Oh, he'd have to.
He'd absolutely have to.
He would have had to.
Well, no, that's the part of the lore that we don't get in the movie, man,
but he hangs around the train tracks.
So he's got that up here, like in his noodle.
He already knows every train.
Oh, yeah, you're right.
He's an old motorman himself.
I would have loved that backstory.
Give me the motorman backstory
where he's killing hobos
and making ear necklaces or whatever.
Exactly, because you know
that's a way better movie.
Like, here's, do it like this.
Because this movie was terrible, probably.
Chris Kavin said it was terrible.
That's what I'm going off.
But that fucking leather face prequel,
origin story shit.
Not good.
Yeah, okay.
But do that with the bye-bye man
and he's this creepy David Lynch train station guy.
Sure.
Awesome.
Great movie.
That's awesome.
Bye, bye, bye, man.
Bye-bye begins.
Buy-bye begins.
Get me by-by-begins.
Get Doug Jones back because he's great.
This movie did make money.
They probably will be a bye-bye man too.
At least to video,
give me bye-bye begins.
It's right there.
And yet Doug Jones,
he doesn't have to cover himself.
Doug Jones,
I felt bad for, man.
I saw him at a party last month.
I'm like,
he's a really handsome dude.
And I was like,
man,
majority of your careers
is wrapped up
in a bunch of fucking monster faces.
He looks stunning
in the Golden Globes.
He did.
He's a good-looking guy.
And this bye-bye begins is the opportunity for him to show Hollywood.
He's got a leading man face.
You just got to get Hollywood to watch Bye-Bi-Begins.
That's all.
That's all you got to do.
Well, there's a lot of upheavals in Hollywood now.
Rightfully so finally a good cleaning out of all the bad blood.
And we're going to get a lot more movies directed by women.
We're going to get a lot more stories about women.
Absolutely.
And Bye-bye Begins.
Exactly.
It's a three-bronged approach.
It's a new dawn for Hollywood.
Get ready, Tinseltown.
So Kim sees a family on the side of the road
That's in trouble and she runs out
She stops, she has to stop the car, she runs out
And like, Elliot's like, the fuck are you doing?
We have to help them.
And that's like, so I don't know if we've actually accurately said this enough
But like that's bye by man's thing is he makes everybody see shit.
Exactly.
And they react to it and, you know, so this is like this car is broken down on the train tracks.
She runs to save this family and this woman gets.
fucking torn to smithereens by a local...
Do you know what my favorite line of the movie is?
It's the...
The motorman.
The motorman.
No!
Yes!
Because he knows it's happening.
He's hitting the brakes.
And he's like, fuck, man.
This is just my ear now, isn't it?
Up to my eyeballs and paperwork, white girl.
Thanks for nothing.
She gets fucking wrecked by this train.
And so then the police come and everything.
And now this is the introduction of Carrie and Moss
is this wasted detective character.
and Elliot is fighting with John
because he's like the fucking
you know who did this
you got a promise not to say
and John is like
no I'm gonna tell everybody
like he refuses to agree
to stop the madness
whatever happened to tier one
yeah exactly
great question yep
well everyone's just
die together
everyone's giving him shit
like I'm gonna talk about the byband
to everybody like no do not
at least
and like and the problem is like
Karen Moss comes like
what's going on here kids
and like John's like
you Alice's like
you better not say it
You better not say it.
She's like, well, obviously I have to arrest everybody.
Like, you know what I'm right?
But she only arrests Elliot because for some reason, when Kim the psychic ran out of the car to save that fake family, Elliot was like, what's going on in this bag?
And he found the bloody hammer.
And he put his hands on it.
He ran out of the car with it.
That's right.
Because Carrie Moss is like, the fact here, I'll hit you with this.
Yeah, Carrie Moss is like, what do you, like, what's going on here?
What did you do?
He's like, nothing.
She fucking ran into front of a train.
And she's like, somebody saw you.
chasing her with a hammer
and the fucking Texas jade saw
it totally is you did you did what
you just you just found it and
decided to are you stupid
no young man are you stupid
you want to talk about the definition of white
privilege during this crime scene there's all
these police officers all over the place
and Elliot thinks he sees the bye bye bye man
and the bye bye dog he runs in the middle of a sea of
cops and grabs a cop by the shoulder
and twists him around yep and this cop
is like what's the matter son
okay? No fucking
way. You've got six knees
in your neck. You've touch a cop.
If it was John, that dude's getting
dropped like a sack of potatoes man.
Exactly. Oh man. I couldn't
even believe it. No, they're pulling them apart like
the guy at the end of Sean of the Dead.
If it's anybody who's
not white. Get
fucked four eyes.
So Carrie Ann Moss starts interviewing
John, Elliot, and
she's asking all these questions and Elliot's like
and here's the thing, Elliot,
The easiest way to not tell somebody something is not telling somebody something.
Don't say, I'd love to tell you, but I can't.
Lips are sealed, like, just don't say anything then.
And yeah, it's just this like, I wish I could say it, but I'm just scared what's going to happen to you.
Like you're talking to a cop, dude.
Like, she's going to squeeze this out of me.
Going to a mental asylum.
Did anybody catch what the deal was?
Because it was like, I looked down at my phone to put a note in, and I looked up.
And there was a weird thing where John is winking at Carrie Ann Moss.
And I think it was supposed to be a hallucination.
Like, he saw her, like, looking at him in some way.
Did anybody catch that detail?
I miss that, man.
Well, I'm not going to go back and rewatch the movie.
It's totally fine.
It's a bye-bye man mystery.
I was looking at my shoes.
And he's like, I can't tell you anything.
I can't tell you anything.
And he gets released somehow after being seen chasing a woman that gets hit by a train with a hammer,
which has blood on it.
the way from another crime scene yeah yeah which harry ann moss is hip to by the way she knows that
kim the psychics roommate is murdered but also you know why he gets out of jail so fast steve is because
he fucking bests carrie ann moss at her own game does he because she says something about like oh yeah
well uh uh you know you just lied to me i never lie and he's like oh you never lie huh and she's like
no i never lie and he goes do you have kids
And she's like, yeah.
And he goes, okay, so imagine you're out on the job one day
and you have to go deal with a school shooting.
And you have to see all these dead kids
that were just laid to waste.
And then you get home and your kids go,
oh, what did you do at work today?
And you're telling me you're going to sit there
and tell her about all the brains that you said.
And he starts like going off.
And she beat, see, he beat her with logic.
Yeah, that's what's important to him.
That's what's important to him.
goes like, she doesn't have a vocal response, but it's like, you got me, like kind of
nod immediately released from jail. So that's, if you get arrested, all you have to do is beat
the cops with logic. Oh, right. You'll be released immediately. Yeah, you got to play some three
dimensional chess. Also be white. Yeah, that's, I mean, that's probably what broke up tier one is
that John caught Elliot like reading Ben Shapiro books or something. He's reading about crisis actors.
So when
Oh yeah
Yeah
Oh get ready for some game theory
And she's like
Oh fuck
You know just leave
Please leave
Please leave
Bye bye man
He pulls out a piece of string
And lint from his pocket
And says thread
Oh man
Read below in the comments
So this is when
Elliot goes home
And he for a second
thinks that he sees
John and Sasha fucking
Which is the scene where it's like the not rated scene
where it's like just John's buttocks going in, you know.
Yeah, yeah, thrusting as it were.
Yeah.
For the dollar.
I'm going to be, I'll be honest.
John's got a nice butt.
Magnificent.
I'll buy that for a dollar.
Totally, man.
Impeccable buns.
Mm-hmm.
So then like he, is this where he hits him with a baseball bat?
Yes.
Because like the, we see what's actually going on and like she's fully clothed sleeping.
And he's not naked at.
all and then like Elliot has this baseball bat out of nowhere like one of the fucking
warriors and he just fucking beats this dude he knocks him out and everyone's like oh my god
what are you doing and he's like wait this isn't real and John's like yeah no it really is
no he's kind of just shaking for a while he's not really saying anything um and it's this is around
where Elliot determines that he has indeed uh inherited Larry Redmond's nightstand dude this
horrific nightstand i can't even tell you they should just call this movie the nightstands it's a
creepy nightstand and if you ever wanted to know how fucked tier one is at this point oh they're over
dude he so he hits him in the head with a fucking bat full force oh yeah then drops him on his
couch and says bye oh no he tells him at one point it's like a little after this he's like i can't
have you talking and he fucking locks him in the basement or like ties him up or something
Because he's like, oh, yeah, you're going to tell everybody the bye-bye man.
With a concussion, probably.
Take him to the bye-bye hospital.
Tier 1 is done, dude.
This is disintegrated.
This is when Mrs. Watkins calls him up.
She's like, hey, Elliot, how's it going?
And he's like, oh, hi, Mrs. Watkins.
How do you have my number?
Also, my life's falling apart.
How are you?
And she's like, well, kind of same deal.
I think I just killed both my kids.
It's a great reveal because she's like, there's some weird stuff going on.
I'd love to talk to you about it.
And he's like, yeah, whatever.
Come over.
And she's like, perfect.
I'll head over now and the camera like follows her
like it's sort of like a tilt down
you see she's got a bloody knife
and she walks out of the frame and what is revealed
is like the legs of two dead kids
in a pile of blood. Again you know what this movie isn't
any good you're not just show me
that scene too just let's let's of course
you have a body count but we don't get to see it
so it doesn't count and they show her like
total freak out and they do it double
by the way because at the end when the cop
it comes in he's like oh yeah
and she mutilated them too
Oh, right. Oh, yeah.
Show me mom making dinner and the kids are playing video games and she goes fucking ape shit.
Yeah.
That's really cool. Give Ms. Watkins something to act.
She's the best actress in this movie.
And speaking to going ap shit, dude, this is where Elliot's like, all right, fuck this nightstand and, like, throws it in a creek.
Come on, dude, you got to burn it down, please.
It would take two seconds to light that thing on fire, too, by the way.
And then somehow he gets Faye Duna.
address who happened to be
Larry Redmond's one. I think it's in the nightstand.
Oh, okay, sure.
Why not?
Bye-bye, man.
Fucking Fay Dunaway is in this movie.
That is a tragedy.
It's kind of an American tragedy.
And she's there and she's like,
again, like she's supposed to be the exposition, but she's not.
She's like, oh, yes, I know all about what happened to Larry,
come into my creepy part.
But it's amazing because when Elliot realizes he doesn't like get the details that he's looking for,
he's like, wait a second, you're telling me you know nothing about this?
She's like, oh yes, my husband Larry, it told me nothing.
And that's amazing because they do a whole flashback of her to show you nothing.
But she does say that like when people snap and go crazy, but no, they don't.
It's him.
So everyone who goes crazy.
Yeah.
The bye-bye man.
Dude, he's a global phenomenon like Dan Brown.
Yeah, that guy he didn't smoke bath salts.
He just got visited by the fucking bye-bye man.
Oh, the bye-by man made me eat that homeless guy's face.
Actually, that's good for you.
The whole smoking the bath salts, that's good for you.
Man, remember when that was the craziest thing that was happening in our country was a dude ate a homeless man's face under a mall parking garage?
I know. Now it's like quaint Americana.
Yeah, I look back fondly on that day.
The tall tails.
Anyone who's ever killed anybody was because of the bye-bye man?
Yes.
I guess what the end point is.
Anyone goes crazy.
It's because the bye-bye man, which means the bye-bye man might be in the Oval Office.
That's right.
That's right.
What's that bye-bye man?
What should I do?
Well, he kind of looks like Jared Kushner a little bit.
Like he's got a hip-hitted sweatshirt.
Yeah.
Lope Miller, Stephen Miller is the bye-bye man, guaranteed.
What's that bye-bye man?
They're all shithole countries.
So he's like, well, I don't understand.
You beat it.
How did you beat it?
And she's like, no, no, no.
Like, he never said it to me.
I've spent decades dodging that bullet.
And then she throws it in his face a little bit, which is great because Elliot sucks.
No, he totally sucks.
She's like, yeah.
Yeah, my husband never told me.
because he stopped and thought for a second
or something like that.
And it's like, yeah, you stupid fucking petulant kid.
And then he slaughtered our neighbors.
And she's like, oh, my life has been ruined.
You know, like, I'm a pariah now, blah, blah, blah.
Why would you still live there?
Yeah, leave town, please.
And you're a fucking 19, you're Faye Dunaway,
you'll do just fine.
But also, like, at that point,
I'm 70 years old.
I'm an old, creepy Miss Havisham.
I've been spending 40 years of my life,
not knowing this name.
Like, hey, Elliot, before you got out of here,
what's that actual name like you know what dude let's fucking see it yeah i want to see what the fuss is about
and that should be the thing right let's do that fuck comes here tonight bring this dog i got kibble
there's a way to even do it though where you can like evoke a little drama or something man
because like he's walking out right and she's like elliot by the way
i've seen too much in this life and too many years without my husband or whatever it is right
she's like tell me yes tell me his name and i'll close this door like
Like, you could make a really good scene out of it.
Like, she commits suicide by, by, by man.
Or she could, like, help defeat him somehow.
Yeah.
You know, like, be a part of this.
No, I wish to become part of the dog.
She should be the Zelda Rubinstein.
You had Faye done away from, like, 6 a.m.
To just right before lunch, and that was it.
But they do get in some CGI fire, which is my favorite.
Oh, my God.
Her cook is so good.
Two important things happen in the scene.
One, she's like, you know what, Elliot?
really only one thing you can do
now. He's like, what can I do?
And she hands him a revolver.
And she's like, fucking figure it out.
Yeah, she, I think she says, kill your friends and kill
yourself. Exactly. And he's like, what?
And she's like, you know, that's all you can do.
She starts stoking the fire. And she lights
up like a Christmas tree.
Fuck, it's great. It's bad CGI,
but it's just, it's poor Faye Dunaway
having to scream. Like, I'm on fire.
It's so great. She keeps burning
and turning into like this little charred
body. I love it.
Because Elliot's like, wait a minute, you're not on fire.
It's like, no, yes, I really am.
But then it turns out she's not.
Yes, and that's when he realizes what the bye-bye man,
it takes him fucking this whole movie to realize what the bye-bye man shows you is fake.
And it's like, okay.
And now he's got a gun.
This movie is kind of about gun control, FYI.
Kind of.
It's kind of about a lot of thing.
So he drives back.
A dense text.
I know how to beat the bye-bye man now.
All we have to do is not believe what he shows us.
So he speeds back, a football hits his car, and he's like, nice,
try bye-bye man and then he keeps feeding and it's john it's john yes it's john like stop stop
he's like no way bye-bye man i'm gonna go even faster you could just like kind of slow down yeah no he's
like no pull off on the shoulder for a bit yeah just weave around it and he drives through him like a
fucking tupac hologram and he accidentally nails miss wadkins oh my god does this
first we had a woman part of the unrated version probably i mean like is it no the second
shot of her head being half off that
oh right there's some brains going on
yes oh yeah that was great yeah that was pretty
cool I don't know if it's worth a dollar
though you got his ass cheeks
yeah that's true
those are toned by the way too
body not brain so she's
just clipped and actually yeah
because if that was part of the unrated cut
it's like is she dead
because it's a clipping yeah but then you see that
brain falling out and you're like yeah
she's definitely but like she's dead and he goes
or bye-bye man i'm like no elliott like you know what i mean like he just did you a favor if that's so you were gonna have to go and actually fight that woman so then john and sasha like wake up back in the house and it's like oh what's going on i have a concussion and she's like not dying anymore whatever she like feels better yeah and then this is like the ultimate twist like this is the bye-by man's final game uh-huh is he's making all of them see the other person yeah kind of a thing kind of a thing
thing. So like Elliot
sees John
but it's in actuality Sasha
and what he sees as
Sasha is John and it turns
into this whole thing. John is running
away from Sasha because he thinks she's Kim like a
zombie Kim. Oh right yes. She's like I want
to get that shit wet again and he's like
nah man. Yeah and I'm not into fucking
corpses and Sasha
thinks it's Elliot she's like Elliot why are you running away from me
and like he grabs scissors he's going to
kill her and there's a
scuffle John comes in and
Elliot comes in, now he's got a gun, and he, like, fires at what he thinks is John stabbing Sasha in the face.
In the fucking face, dude.
It kind of rules the way this shot goes.
It's not bad.
A good old scissor face stabbing?
It's good.
Doctor.
He shoots him, and then, oops, it wasn't her.
It was, he actually shot Sasha.
Right.
Sasha plunged the scissors into John's face.
We are skipping over what I think is worse.
than anything in the room.
Oh, shit.
Is him singing bye-bye...
Oh, the cover of Bye-bye love in the truck?
Because he's going to fall asleep with the wheel
while driving to Fay Dunaway's house.
And he's, like, jumping like he has to take a piss.
He's a dead Kennedy's head, man.
He's just loving it.
It's so fucking bad.
I totally forgot about that.
I wiped it.
Bye-bye love.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
It's...
That's embarrassing.
Also, somewhere around all the stabbing or whatever,
because like the bye-bye man's come.
at one point we totally get hound vision oh my god yes because there's like it's fucked it's not
as fucked up as predator vision but they like mess with it a little bit and I was like that's
hound vision it's a movie I really like alien covenant but the one thing I you can keep forever as alien
vision in that movie no reason it's so stupid similarly here also like you're not going to define
what this hound is we get hound vision like get the fuck out of town here's and here's a little
note for everybody. If you're worried
about your brother
in this case or, you know,
a friend or a lover, whatever
and they're in crisis and like, oh my
God, I am afraid to leave this person
alone. You are totally right to
go and check on them. Don't
bring your six-year-old daughter. You get a
babysitter. You get a babysitter.
And then you go check on your brother, your friend,
your lover, whatever. Where's the wife? We meet the wife
earlier in the film. Could that actress just not
attend the shoot? A neighbor, honestly.
But you do not bring.
If you think you're, because like he, he's at the police, uh, the, um, Anders, Michael
Chirko's at the police station.
Yeah.
He's got all this stuff.
He's like, oh, man, I'm really worried about him, man.
What am I going to do?
Yeah.
Because he's like a perpetual stepdad.
And he's like, uh, he, yeah, he's like, hey man, it's me and Chloe.
We're here outside.
We're awfully cold out here, Elliot.
And like, everyone's dead inside.
Yeah.
And Elliot is like up at the door and the bye-bye man's coming down the stairs.
And he's like, get out of here, dude.
Get out of here.
Virgil.
Come on.
Virgil. And he fucking kills
himself. Like, and this dude
Virgil sees like the blood splatter up
on the fucking window. It's
great because the by-by man is coming closer.
He touches him on the head a couple of times.
Oh, right. Yeah. First contact.
And then it's like he gives him like
visions that don't matter or mean anything.
Like he gives him visions of like Chloe
killing the father and the mother
and it's like, oh shit, it's going to, the Bible man
is going to take it. And like, the guy's like,
and to this point like he's so crazy
Elliot, he can barely not say bye
by man, he's like, bye, bye, mm, mm, and then, like, yeah, I don't get this part.
He just is, like, uh, sort of like subconsciously just screaming.
Yeah, it's like, he's going to do it.
I think the, like, once the bye-bye man touches you, and he tries to make you say his name.
Oh, he's like tickling you, like say it.
It's like a sexual fetish.
And yeah, he's like, bye-bye, bye-bye.
One of my favorite line in the movie, he's like, bye-bye, bye-bye what?
Like, no, you don't say bye-bye-bye what?
Like, no, you don't say bye-bye-bye what?
Oh my God, then it's like a bye-bye man
That's like a job of the hut or something
Bye-bye to hood
Oh yeah
Bye-bye do hut
And then he blasts his brains out
It's amazing
He kills himself, it's awesome
And again like this is a gun control thing
Like if he didn't have the gun
He wouldn't have the opportunity
You're gonna regulate knives
You're gonna trucks
He could have killed himself with a truck
Bye-bye man can make you kill yourself
With a truck
You're going to regulate haunted dogs, too?
What are you going to do of a registry for trucks?
If Virgil had a gun, he could have stopped it.
Hey, I'm sorry Kim the psychic is dead,
but if Kim the psychic had her own train, who knows?
You need a good train to fight a bad train.
Oh, man, I think that's going to be a Liam Neeson movie soon.
Isn't that what the commuter's about?
I've got to stop the bad train.
The bad train's coming right for us.
I would love by-by-man-train fight.
It's only making express stops, and I live off a local.
Oh, shit, I fell asleep again, a little drunk, a little too drunk for this train ride.
I am going to see the commuter.
I'll see the commuter this time next year.
I'm supposed to get off at West Fourth Street.
Oh, shit, now this A turned into an F.
The fuck is that.
Oh, Christ, I'm in Brooklyn, and I'm going the wrong way.
You know, I'd stop.
Bad Trains in a movie before.
It was called Schindler's List.
Oh, now you're going Express.
That's just rich.
That's rich.
Yes.
So he kills himself and like the house goes on fire.
Is it explained how the house catches on fire?
Not necessarily.
I don't think.
No.
It's just like magically engulfed in flames.
I think that's another secret bye-bye power.
Well, no, the bye-by man after killing at least three people,
he can have a cigarette.
You know?
What a night.
What a good job.
Bye-bye dog.
Thank you.
We sure got them.
Let's go to Wright Castle.
The dog should talk.
You know, the demons and dogs.
They always talk.
Voice by Willem Defoe, dude.
No, you get Welker in there, my friend.
Oh, yeah.
Because the other hound doesn't even snarl.
Welker could do the barks, too.
He could do a human voice and a bark.
And the girl, the little girl, I'm calling her Chloe just for no reason.
She might be Chloe.
She runs off to go pee.
I think it's Alice or something?
Yeah.
Oh, Alice, right.
Yeah.
It is Alice.
She runs off to go pee and he's like, Alice, where are you, Alice?
Because he's like afraid of the bye-bye man.
Right.
I'm right here, dad.
And he picks her up.
The house goes on fire.
And he's like, oh, no, the fire.
And he's like, great.
The fire can't hurt him anymore, babe.
This dude is.
So here's the thing. This guy's fucking relieved that this kid is dead. Oh, sure. Because he doesn't have to put up with it anymore. And he's so unaffected by his brother's suicide. It's ridiculous.
I gotta tell you though, he's probably like, oh, cool. Now I don't have to worry about this kid's fucking education anymore. Oh, right. That's the next to $40,000 in my pocket. Cancel those loans, baby. Well, but Alice, no, you can go to college.
Alice will go to Disneyland next month. That's not fun? If you, you would think for the funeral, he'd want to go in and at least get the body. But no.
if he just cremates himself.
Oh, that's a good move, too.
This dude is a fucking, uh, uh, a real thrifty guy when it comes to a death in the family.
Thinking about it, man.
So just driving away from a scene where you're, you don't even have confirmation.
But you're pretty sure your brother committed suicide and then the house is burning down.
If there was ever a time to butt dial 911, it would be right now.
Well, yeah, no, but I think like he dials 911.
He's like, well, officers, my work is done like, no, it's not.
You're filling out all sorts of shit, dude.
And I totally had nothing to do with it.
That's why I'm fleeing the scene.
Also, this is where, is it Carrie Ann Moss who comes back in and utters the line pulling a column bind?
Yes.
Oh, yeah.
Goof.
Well, the squad captain is like, hold on, hold on.
So this kid killed one college girl with a hammer, killed another one with a train, then killed a whole family and mutilated the bodies and then came back here.
and you had him and you let him go?
And she's like, yeah, I guess instinct.
Like, I don't know what, like, you are fired, ma'am.
Columbine?
It's totally.
Supernatural hobo with a dog.
This is part of it, too.
The bye-bye man is the attempt to disable the country.
By-bye man is also getting all the good cops fired.
Oh, nice.
Bye-bye career.
He kills erections, phone batteries,
His end careers.
That's right.
So John, as it turns out, is, like, horribly maimed by this fire, but he's alive.
And so Carriand Moss, like, comes up.
He's on a stretcher, and he's getting put into an ambulance.
And it's like, what happened, what happened, what happened?
And then, like, the audio kind of cuts out.
But he definitely just mouths bye-bye man.
Oh, you think so?
You need to tell me.
Yes.
Yeah, no, he definitely says bye-bye man.
That's also what Bill Murray says to Scarlet Jones.
Lost the translation.
But no, there's actually an even stupider scene
but right before this.
It's Virgil and Alice in the car
and he's like, that was a real tough one.
And this girl is deranged
because he's like, I'm a sweet little girl, blah, blah, blah.
My uncle who I loved is definitely dead.
And he's like, what happens?
Well, when I went to go pee, I found this nightstand
and I found these cool coins.
And the man let me keep.
the coins like the man what man she's like nobody and he's like what did you read in the nightstand
oh my god if she read it and she's like i can't read in the dark dad that's right yeah dad you know
i can't read in the dark but it's like oh my god she has the bye-by man coins which i have no idea
what they mean no one does you think like like she was like she confront she she met the bye-by man
and then kruger jumped in was like i don't think so oh that could be little kids are for me
you're more of a 21 and up kind of guy
out of your jurisdiction
like every
but that's the guy
I think the bye by man wants to be on that pantheon
but all of those dudes have backstories
that I understand
and like it doesn't have to be super explained
like Michael Myers
and the first Halloween's not super explained
but it's enough
there's something
it's a crazy kid he stabs people
got it yep no this is
he's in more than three scenes
and he actually affects the plies
There's a movie that came out in 2017
That's kind of similar to this
It's a movie called Nails
It was a horror movie that came out in Ireland
Or from Ireland
And can I think it or say it
You can
Okay good
He don't give a fuck
He's like haunting a closet
In this hospital is the idea
Is that the character's name Nails?
It's his nickname
Because he's some scuzzy
Like hospital attendant or something
I don't remember
But it's the same like
This dude is around
And he's kind of just this tall bald white guy
fucking with people and whatnot.
Sure.
But like you get a backstory
of like this guy
used to be a hospital attendant
and this thing happened
and then he fucking killed himself
or like whatever it was.
It's something.
And that's all you need
like I don't need to know everything
just a little bit especially if you're
it's not just a guy with a knife
if it is a guy with a knife
if it's the strangers I don't need it
like I get it.
Guy with the knife stabby stabby got it
but if we got a dog
and we've got coins
and we've got a nightstand.
I need to know the limitations
of his powers.
Exactly.
Or did he start that fucking fire?
How did the house burn down?
come on and what's with the trains
and that's the thing
like that's all like you gotta read the book
no I don't I'm watching the bye bye man
no I won't
Jesus
would anybody recommend this movie
I would I think this movie is
really bad but really
watchable uh my
case in point my fiance was we had watched us earlier
like earlier in the year and she was like
oh you're watching the bye bye man tonight I'm gonna go
downstairs and do some reading and like
I put on the bye bye man and she's like
I guess I'm just watching the bye-bye, man.
Oh, sure.
Once you think it or say it, you kind of have to watch it all the way through.
No.
That's incorrect.
Like, the, I go back to what I said at the beginning.
The first two minutes are fantastic.
It really hook you.
And then, like, the rest happens.
And then the rest of the movie plays.
Yeah, and there's no, like I said, like, I just don't care
because there's no weight to it whatsoever.
Yeah.
I think I'm leaning us, leaning a Stephen here.
I would say it's a light recommend.
It's dumb, nothing matters, it doesn't make sense,
but it's like a hangover type of thing.
Like, who cares?
Yeah, it is inconsequential.
Yeah.
Oh, sure.
I would like people to watch this movie
if you're someone out there in Listenerland
who's like getting ready to
or like has ever considered making a horror movie
because you can watch this movie
exactly what not to do
at literally every turn.
I just like
It's hard for me to like new horror
I know that there's good new horror out there
But like there's so much horror
Yeah
And this falls into that this is just shit
That people shouldn't be making
Yeah
It's a fucking phony baloney
We're trying to start a thing
With like a new monster
And it's not, it's a nothing
And it's just so incompetently made
Not just from a horror standpoint
From like a storytelling standpoint
Why the fuck do I have to care about those coins
You have to tell me
Here's the question now
All right. And, you know, we all know where we stand in the bye-by-man.
If bye-by-man, too, comes that direct of video, you're going to watch it?
Absolutely.
Yeah, okay.
I knew it.
Because they'll definitely explain the coins.
If it's bye-bye begins, 100% I'll watch that movie.
What if it's by-by-man 2099?
