Hello, everybody, and welcome back to your stupid opinions.
Hey.
Thank you so much for joining us.
My name is James Petro Gallo.
I'm here with my co-host.
I'm Jimmy Wiseman.
We are so excited today to tell you about more people's problems with things that we've never experienced.
It's so much fun.
We can't wait.
We hope you enjoyed last week, the Sistine Chapel, obviously, a place to complain.
You don't want a damage of the art.
We had the corn maze.
We'll continue with another Halloween thing this week,
as we'll do all in October, multiple Halloween things.
We have a spirit Halloween shop for you today, which will be a lot of fun.
Oh, I just went to one of those.
Oh, everybody's been to one of those, so that's why it's fun.
We'll do that.
But first of all, definitely also listen to our other two shows,
crime in sports and small town murder, which are exactly what they sound like.
And head over to shut up and give me murder.com for all of you.
of your merchandise, there's your stupid opinion stuff.
The Scunt merchandise is out.
It's cool.
It looks like...
Outstanding.
It looks like a death metal band shirt.
It's cool, but it's a skunt.
You're going to like it.
So there you go.
Definitely, that's a big word.
It's huge.
People have been loving it.
Very popular.
Let's get right into this here.
We're going overseas, everybody.
Yeah?
Buckle up for your trip.
Get your passports ready because we're going to Russia.
Oh, boy.
Oh, boy.
We may not come out.
We're going to a subway in,
Russia.
Oh, you don't want it.
Station, a subway sandwich
shop in Russia.
Do you want to eat anything?
Anybody hands you in Russia?
I don't know.
Well, they hand it to you and it's just beats and poison.
So you're like, I don't know if that's...
Beats and rice.
Yeah, I don't know if I should have this exactly.
It's borshed.
It's poisoned borsh on a roll.
I don't know if I should have this or not.
And while you had your back turn, they tucked shit in your underwear that's going to kill you
too.
There's that too.
So it's a subway.
Like we said, it is at, oh, God, it's in Moscow.
You know.
This address.
Ulitska Mikulukyo, Maklaya.
How do you find that?
11, Moscow, Russia.
You're never finding it.
Who cares?
It's located in, it's inside of a thing, located in the People's Friendship University of Russia.
People's Friendship University.
So weird.
It's open 24 hours, which is good.
I love that.
Really?
I love any place open 24.
hours. It's got 3.9 stars here on Google. So we'll find out what the Russians think of our
shittiest sandwiches. Let's find out here. Okay. We don't even like them. And it's an American thing.
So I can't imagine what they might be. It's popular, but it's because it's cheap. It's cheap.
None of us eat Subway. None of us are going, ooh, you know what I'm in the mood for tonight?
Subway. No one says that. They go, nobody's ever bragged on the IKEA furniture quality.
No. They just say it's easy.
They go, I got this giant sandwich for $8.
That's it, which is fine.
I've eaten a million subway sandwiches over the years, so I totally get it.
This is Lavi, first up, five stars.
It was great.
Cool music and nice food.
Cool music.
What kind of sub-wear is a DJ?
What are they doing over there?
I just picture a Russian dance club.
A lot of guys shirts unbuttoned almost to the navel, you know what I mean?
A lot of wild and crazy guys.
A lot of that, exactly.
Interesting.
Cool music.
This next one, I don't know what name this is.
There's multiple letters that are definitely not in our alphabet in here.
I'm not sure.
There's something that looks like the symbol for pie.
Okay.
There's something that looks like a capital A that someone with a broken arm, Drew.
Okay.
That's fun.
I'm not sure.
Five stars.
From the street, it looks gloomy.
It seems that it's dark in there.
but inside it's pretty nice
what outside looks dark and gloomy but inside
a subway with ambiance who knew ambiance well it's got cool music too
yeah it's got cool music different kind of subway we got going on here
and if you have time you can sit by the window and have a snack
if you have a time yeah in russia that's considered a vacation by the way
sitting by a window they're like all right you can have window and they're like
Whoa, a window.
Holy shit.
And Russia, subway is vacation.
In Russia, sandwich, eat you.
They cook well.
They cook well.
What?
At the subway.
Okay.
So far, no complaints about the food.
We took sandwiches there three times.
We took them.
Not bought them or ate them.
Took them.
Yeah.
Took them.
Then the response from the owner is odd to be best.
Thank you for paying attention to this problem.
All right.
Okay.
We will try to add light so that it looks more attractive from the outside and not just from the inside.
Gloomy from the outside.
All right, right.
Okay.
This is wild, too.
They're taking the ambiance dead serious now.
Dead serious.
Here's another name I can't pronounce.
It's M-A-K-C, backwards N, and then an M.
That's Maxine.
Sure.
Why not?
And it's a picture of the most Russian-looking man ever with a Russian hat on and everything.
Look at him.
Go on, Maxine.
Tell us more.
This fucking guy is Russian.
Three stars.
The sandwiches are good.
The bartenders are courteous.
Bart?
They have a bar?
They have to mean the people making the sandwiches.
God, the sandwich artist, sir.
That's an artist.
Jesus.
But the room is very dirty and there is no disinfectant solution.
What?
When I go to a restaurant, I expect accessible disinfectant solution for me to be able to use.
Not for me.
That's what it sounds like he was looking for it, but there's none there.
You're expected to clean up after yourself thoroughly in Russia.
Excuse me, there's no disinfectant, so I'm going to leave this like this.
So you're not going to mop?
What the fuck?
It's your shift.
Pick up a mop.
What are we doing here?
It comes with the sandwich.
Edmund, two-star.
the cashiers are rude and they dictate when and in Russia they know when they're being dictated.
Oh yeah.
That's, they get it.
They dictate when to and when not to sell the promos.
I don't know if that's the sales maybe or or maybe the promotional items if they have like a, you know, sweet chicken.
The cookie.
Sweet chicken asshole.
Whatever the fuck.
We don't have that today.
I don't know.
At times they limit the veggies on your sandwich.
Now, I've always.
No, I've always heard Russia's a terrible place.
We grew up watching Rocky 4.
Yeah, I've never heard of anything free from Russia.
We know it's a terrible place, but limiting the veggies on your subway sub is beyond the pale.
I know they kill, they poison people and murder reporters and opposition people and stuff like that.
That's all fine.
You get four slices of tomato per foot.
Yeah, no, no, no.
That's fine.
If I want more green peppers, God damn it, it is my God-given right.
Six per six inch.
That's what you get.
Wow
Cizwee
Cizwee
Cswee
Cswee
two stars
Just fine
That's the whole
It's just fine
That's subway
You nailed it
Hey good job
Just fine
What the fuck letter is this
Holy shit
I'm gonna show you this
Because I can't even describe
It's like an I and an O
With a line
Married
Yeah
It's the number 10
Together
Again
Pie symbol
Yeah
Backwards N
backwards are. So your guess is as good as mine. One star. The staff is rude throughout the entire
service process. Yes. Yeah. Now you're now you're at a subway. Absolutely. They're dead behind the
eyes. That's a that's a big feature of subway. When they interview you, they look into your eyes real
deep and they go, yeah, there's still some, I see a glint of hope in there. No, no, no, no, we can't
argue. You still think you can manage this place. Get the fuck out.
Don't think so.
They don't look at the customer to start a conversation with her.
They throw food.
Here's your goddamn sandwich and they just chuck it out.
Go along.
They do everything with extreme reluctance.
That's a term I've never heard before, but I'm...
Extreme reluctance.
It's good.
All right.
When I asked to add salt and oil instead of sorry, the oil is out, they yelled at me that there was
none and that I should choose a sauce.
That sounds like Russia.
That sounds like Russian.
Oil, no oil, choose sauce.
Shit, okay.
After paying no receipt, no thank you, nothing.
Yeah, they're dead behind the eyes.
They're going back to being very sad.
Only a delivery person screaming obscenities in whose opinion I am, whoa.
Only a delivery person screaming obscenities in whose opinion I am an ungrateful scumbag.
Okay.
Wow.
I don't understand that you see the staff is tired.
Yeah, that's Subway.
They're dead behind, like we said.
Yeah, they're slave driving.
That's a bottom of the line job.
It sucks.
Right?
Well, no one's excited to work at Subway.
No.
I worked at Taco Bell.
I was not jacked about it at all.
I mean, I worked at.
My first job, I loved it until I got robbed, but I loved the job.
Yeah.
But it was a stupid, I loved it because there was literally zero consequences for anything.
No, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's why I loved it.
Yeah.
I made no money and I didn't care.
You were 17.
Who gives a shit?
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Somebody gave a shit about this.
Man, please ask her why she works at all.
I have never seen anything worse.
Well, you need to get out more.
Yeah, I've seen a lot worse than that.
Someone at subway being kind of rude is really.
I'd say turn on the news, but I can't imagine what it is in fucking Russia.
Oh, God.
Everything is fine.
No one has been poisoned.
Everything good.
Putin, very good job.
Okay.
And now to sports.
That's the Russian news.
It's cold again.
And now to weather.
Gloomy.
Sports?
We go there.
Gloomy like a subway.
Like subway.
Like subway employees' eyes behind.
They are dead.
Now to sports.
What is sport?
Now to sport.
Whole team killed today for not putting on good performance.
Leader Putin poisoned all of their post game meal.
They deserve.
And now on to...
We agree.
Now on to Farm report.
Farm report?
Everything is dead.
Is all dead.
Okay, that wraps up news for tonight.
Very good.
Thank you for one minute news.
We see you next time.
It's all dead and it deserved it.
It's all dead and deserve it.
Should not have said about Putin what they said.
All crops die now.
There's a response from the owner here to this one.
Apparently that name is Yulia, by the way, because the owner responds,
Dear Yulia, I'm like, Yulia, what the fuck?
None of those letters are in here.
How do you get that from?
You got the number.
Number 10 in there.
How do you get that from a 10 with a line connecting them?
A pie sign, a backwards end and a backwards R.
You got Yulia out of that.
You know, number 10.
I don't understand Russian.
We spoke with the employee, okay?
Oh, good.
Perhaps you thought that the girl was not friendly since you had a squabble with the Yandex career.
What is, oh.
Wait, what?
That must be there, Dorda.
He fought the FedEx man.
He fought the Yen.
According to the subway standard, now that doesn't exist.
There's no standards at Subway.
For a good.
The employee is obliged to ask about sauces.
Checks are always punched.
You need to wait until you receive the check.
I guess receipt is what they're talking about there.
We love and are happy to see our customers coming back again and again.
We love our customers.
We love them.
That's too much.
I don't know what the fuck.
O pie symbol, lower case B looking thing.
They're fucking.
A fucking Alphabet is crazy.
Giant lowercase R.
Yeah, may as well put that one in there.
Big lowercase A, the kind you draw with like the circle in it.
With the hook over the top.
Yeah, one of those.
Okay.
One star.
This subway is so-so.
The toilet is dirty and there is no hook to hang a bag or coat.
You're shitting in a subway.
You're bringing your coat and everything in there?
Well, you always have a coat on in Russia.
Leave it near your sandwich.
Yeah, probably.
the floors are dirty.
There is no toilet paper.
The girl who served me, unfortunately, did not see my name, did not come out right away,
but only when a young man from a neighboring sushi shop called her.
Huh?
What?
Let's break that down.
The girl who served me did not see my name and did not come out right away,
but only when a young man from a neighboring sushi shop called her.
You don't know.
This is Noah.
We love Noah.
Yes.
Noah loves Ahi Tuna.
That's how Subways work there.
You've got to tell the sushi shop that you're ready for your sandwich and then they tell the Subway and then they give it to you.
Is Noah's sandwich ready yet?
Response from the owner.
Here we go.
We apologize for the inconvenience caused when visiting Subway.
One, hook.
Hook, semicolon.
For the jacket.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We will definitely fix it as soon as possible.
Thank you for paying attention to this.
That's all he gives it about.
Yeah, two.
Had a conversation with the employee about the lack of toilet paper in the toilet.
Three, the floor is wiped every hour, perhaps due to the snow outside and large number of non-guests visiting the restaurant.
The floor could have become dirty.
They let people use their shitter.
Just hang out in there, I guess.
I guess so.
We hope that you liked our sandwiches and are waiting for you again.
That's in subway.
We're here for you.
Next up, MAPNRA.
MAP.
backwards and backwards are.
Stephen.
It's a picture of a lady with a microphone, so she's a performer of some guy.
There's Stephen.
One star.
The restaurant staff do not speak Russian.
Will they speak?
What the fuck do they speak then?
It's Russia.
Are we doing a foreign exchange thing with employees?
Yeah, somewhere in, somewhere over here.
Somewhere in Nebraska?
There's a Russian, an all Russian sub-webracian.
where no one's understood a word said in the last 10 years.
Okay.
And do not understand it in principle.
Uh-huh.
They don't understand it.
Cheese in all subway restaurants is included in all caps, all sandwiches.
Not just in melts as the staff convinces.
Staff told her cheese isn't included, only in melted shit.
We don't do that, yeah.
The staff does not comply with the standards established in the restaurant chain,
starting with the storage of products above the refrigeration level,
there are no several types of sandwiches.
Okay.
No several types.
No several types.
And sanitary norms ending with communication and understanding.
The roll and sandwiches are assembled disgustingly.
Okay?
The sandwich burst on the uncut line.
Everything is spilling out of the roll.
So they put more on.
You jammed so much shit in there.
Yeah.
You wanted to throw.
Three fucking sauces.
Yeah.
You wanted the sweet.
You wanted spinach.
Bullshit terriaki crap.
You wanted this.
You wanted that.
This is what you got.
Now you wanted onions.
And now you got it.
The bread only holds so much.
I've seen people at Chapo-Lay.
I feel so bad for those kids trying to roll that fucking thing.
You almost got to lick it like a fucking joint to hold it together.
It's crazy.
At least you know, those people are going to be uncontrollably shitting in a half hour, though.
So it's kind of, it's always revenge.
It deserves.
go asshole more diarrhea um the ingredients were placed exclusively on the middle of the sub which made it
inconvenient to eat the middle of the so how the hell do you do that just made a big stack in the middle
and there's four inches on each side it's hanging out that's what you deserve oh my god that's
fucking funny all right chris one star every time you come you'll get food poisoning every time
every time oh but is it every time that's what i want to know is it every time
The staff is inattentive.
Many people in the restaurant are already without food, taking up seats that are already scarce.
So it seems like they let people just come hang out in the subway and just sit there.
The quality and taste of the food are zero out of five.
If I could give zero Russian stars, I would.
Who ever went to subway and said this thing was delicious?
That's what I mean.
Yeah, you go and you go, that was food.
That's what you say.
filled the void because I was hungry.
That's it.
I ate it and it's fine.
I mean, Christ, remember when we did it all the way back and forth to South by Southwest?
We ate subway like six times.
That's all we could afford.
That's all we could afford at the time.
And it was fine.
It was fine.
It was volume.
It was mass.
The bread had filled you up.
Mustards free.
It was great.
So, Akaha.
Okay.
A caha, one star.
It says they work 24 hours, but in fact, I arrived and they didn't serve.
Okay.
Now, the response from the owner is, we apologize.
The restaurant was being cleaned at that time.
The doors were open.
You could come sit and buy drinks, but you couldn't buy food.
You're right.
Yes, the restaurant does daily cleaning of the equipment and units from 4 to 430.
You can be there at that time.
You can buy drinks, but you can't buy food.
So this person is complaining because from 4 o'clock to 4.30 in the morning, you can't buy a subway sandwich.
You can get cookies and soda and sun chips all you want, but you can't get a...
That is the thing about a 24-hour place.
How do you maintain that without...
You can't just keep cutting roast beef on that thing.
You got to clean it.
You got to clean it every day, yeah.
So there you go.
So quit bitching.
Quit your bitching.
Wait till 4.30 and get a clean sandwich.
If you had a sandwich from 3.30, that's got 23 hours of funk on it.
don't want that.
Not that at all.
Whoa, I've never seen that letter before.
Okay, we have an A.
We have a broken arm A after that.
So two capital A's lowercase A, X, lowercase A, capital M.
Yep.
Then an X, but the X has a line straight down in the middle of it.
Yep.
One of these things there, like an aster.
That is Monica.
Yeah, that's what you got it.
You nailed it.
Nailed it.
We're good at this.
Hello.
Mick, McLucco, McGliah.
Doodle?
Eleven put good employees.
They do not know how to talk to guests.
Curriers are also people.
And your, yeah, they are.
I would hope so.
Uh-huh.
And your employee with guests,
other relations with couriers,
other, I ask the administration
to change it is necessary for a person.
I don't know what just happened.
I don't know.
They're okay.
See, I think there was a cogent review in there somebody somewhere, but somebody shook it all up and then just like spread it on the table like Yotsie dice.
And this is the way the paragraph came out.
Yeah.
There is a response from the owner.
They understood somehow.
All right.
You came as a courier and began to loudly indignate why your order was not given to you.
Okay, so this is a courier bitching.
Yeah.
I'm a person too.
I'm people too.
I'm people.
An employee told you that, one, do not raise your voice in our establishment.
Oh, we're going to throw down now.
Two, see rule one.
What's ever said quietly in Russian?
Right.
It's a loud language.
They yell at each.
Everything's yelling.
There's a girl on Instagram that, I don't know if she's really Russian or not, but she does, like, dating a Russian girl thing.
I don't know how Russian women have men after that Instagram account exists now, because there's no fucking.
way you can date one.
They're fucking mean.
They're mean as fuck.
Yeah.
Go out with them.
It's like, I kill dog.
Yeah.
They're like, fuck that.
They're like going out with...
For the slightest things.
They're just like, I murder everyone.
All of you.
Your parents.
It doesn't matter.
Yeah, no, they're fucking nuts.
Those Russian girls.
Yeah, nobody should.
If he does not text back, text him in middle of
night, then block him.
Wow.
At the moment, he cannot give it to you since he was servicing a client, which sounds great.
Oh, gross.
He's servicing a client, getting that sauce on his own.
Yeah.
Three, asked to wear a mask.
She was asked to wear a mask.
We highly value the work of couriers, but you must understand we cannot neglect the
comfort of our clients.
Right.
Duh.
Anastasia, one star.
Quite, quite,
comma,
skeptical impression.
Quite skeptical.
That's a sentence.
We made delivery through the app.
In the end, there was no delivery.
There was no refund either.
Oh.
Got nothing.
The response from the owner is,
we don't understand what you're talking about.
It sounds strange to say the least.
Please contact us.
Yeah.
Smoking man.
Okay, something I can read.
One star.
Somehow we need to resolve
the issue with students.
You come to have a snack and these vegetables are sitting at three or four tables and writing
their shit.
What does that mean?
There's students there.
He's calling them vegetables, which is confusing because they have vegetables at Subway.
He's saying these vegetables are taking up three to four tables and writing their shit,
meaning doing their schoolwork.
Yeah, not being here.
Kids come in to get out of the cold and do their work, basically.
They use it as like a study ball.
Because it's at the university.
That's what I mean.
The response from the owner.
To some extent, we agree with you.
Often students take up more space than they need.
We will think about it and try to solve this issue so that it's convenient for everyone.
But they're also like, we're in a school.
So that's kind of most of our business as students also.
That's kind of how, that's basically our business model.
We've banked on a bunch of hungry kids eating this bullshit.
That's it.
So, yeah, they're going to spread their fucking laptops and books out and shit.
It's going to happen.
It's like Starbucks with their fucking free Wi-Fi.
No shit.
Here's Slough, one star.
Came at 720.
Closed.
It says they work from six.
What's the problem?
Is someone sleeping?
Too bad I had to go to KFC.
At 720 in the morning, they went to KFC.
They said, thank you for reporting, the response from the owner.
We will talk to the employees.
And if this violation of the restaurant's work is confirmed, the employees will be punished.
to the gulag with you.
Oh, boy.
Yeah, this is.
Now there's blood on your hands, my friends.
It's blood on your hands.
Every time you complain at a subway, it could cost them on their life.
You are now my co-conspirator.
Oh, man, this is all exclamation points from the owner, so they're serious.
This should not have happened.
The restaurant is open 24 hours, exclamation.
I will murder them all.
But due to the ban on restaurants by the mayor of Moscow, huh?
What?
The mayor gets it.
The restaurant is open for takeaway from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m.
until 1.15.21.
I think this is a COVID thing.
It's four years ago.
I think that's the problem there.
Medina one star.
Caucasian cashier usually saw him at night.
Okay.
Well, yeah, he's white.
He'll stand out at night.
Sure.
He won't stand out at night in Russia.
Not in Russia.
Terribly nasty, harmful.
As if I owe him.
Oh.
Maybe you do.
Cacheer was a dick.
Did you get a sandwich? You owe.
We don't know.
All we know is cashier is kind of a dick.
Baja, one star.
The cook is always on the phone, but it takes a long time to prepare the order.
Yes.
Nerselton, one star.
Why the fuck did you connect delivery if you don't cook?
What?
Do not order via delivery or you will wait an hour or more.
He said, why the fuck?
Yeah.
angry.
This is the craziest name I've ever seen.
There's a three in this name.
I don't know where that came from.
Look at that thing.
Yeah, look at this.
Yeah.
Holy shit.
Lobotomize three?
What was the number?
Dude, this is a lot.
That's crazy.
One star.
They shout worse here than at the Cherkivovsky market.
What is that?
We all know what it is.
Come on.
You can't be shouting louder than the
Pervituzyggivsky market.
That's where they throw fish like Seattle.
Yeah, I think so.
That's where you go down there.
It's like Pike Place or whatever.
Max, one star.
Uh-huh.
One word.
Yeah.
Hat.
That's it.
That's it.
Figure that out, everybody.
Where's it at?
Figure that out.
I think they stole it.
I think he wants it back.
Either they stole it or he's wondering how to get a subway hat.
How do I get one of those cool visors you guys have?
Or he knows that this is just old hat.
That's amazing.
By the way, went through all that without making one, Jared's a pedophile, Joe.
Not bad.
Not bad.
Look at us.
That's pretty good.
They don't have one over there.
Yeah, definitely not.
And now, let's move on, everybody, to some, away from some Russian gloom and doom.
Yeah?
To some holiday cheer.
Let's do this.
Here we go.
With a Spirit Halloween store.
Everybody's been to one.
Oh, we've all been to a Spirit Halloween story to get something for your kid.
You need a tube of fake blood.
You've got to get some stupid fake gold chain, a dumb wig.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Here we go.
Spirit Halloween.
store. This is seasonal chain with Halloween and fancy dress costumes for all ages plus accessories
and decor. This particular location is in New York City and Manhattan at 5106th Avenue in New York.
It used to be. Yeah, well, who knows? It'll be a bodega again by November, I'm sure. So this has
3.3 stars on Google here. So not great. How do you fuck up a Spirit Halloween store? Has some masks and
They're all pretty shitty.
They're not.
Yeah.
My favorite thing in them is, yeah, yeah.
Do you judge it based on the experience you wanted to have or based on what should be reasonably expected from a Spirit Halloween store?
How do we?
Yeah, Spirit Halloween is essentially every year it's a place that's going out of business in four weeks.
That's it.
That's what it is.
We popped it up and we're getting rid of it.
Yeah. What do you think of a liquidation store?
It's, it's always shit.
That's the other thing because these employees aren't concerned about long-term employment.
No.
So they don't care.
This is four weeks, Ben.
That's the thing.
We're almost done.
Day one, we're almost done.
Oh, shit.
Emmy, five stars.
The store has a better selection than most in on the city.
Most on the city.
On the city.
On the city.
The staff here are excellent, especially the guys at the register, really helpful and so nice.
You must be hot, Emmy.
Yeah.
She's getting a pretty girl experience.
She's one of those hot chicks that does cosplay shit,
and she's in there every couple of days,
and they're like, oh, yes, her tits are back.
And she's like, they're so helpful and nice.
Can you believe it at me?
There's a fat middle age guy behind you that they're like,
what do you want?
Get the fuck out of our store.
And it's me.
My kids had a blast looking for their costumes
and looking at the animatronics.
Apparently they have like a animal set up.
They all sorts animatronics.
Everything that you can like deck.
your yard with. They have them all, they have a display of it. Yeah. You can go stomp the foot thing and
make it do its thing. Yeah, like, same thing with the Christmas stores. Hey, look, let's make Santa
dance. Okay, great. Yeah. It's fun. The first time. The first time. Then you go, all right,
that's enough. I'm not putting that in my yard. Vida ones, or five stars, I'm sorry. The guy working
at the register today was very nice and helpful. Another attractive woman. Another hot check. Good for you.
And the staff was all really nice, to be honest. This spirit was.
huge and had a lot and was organized and great.
I don't believe that for a second.
Had a little mini trip here today.
A little mini trip.
A little smaller trip.
A little smaller, small trip.
Going back for more later, don't you worry.
Rose, three stars.
It was nice when we had the big spot at Barclay.
Now you have to go through the court street, which suck.
And the line was so crazy, I didn't even bother to shop there.
They've got a line?
Oh yeah.
They need to put other spot in sunset.
Probably sunset park.
Yeah, in New York and Manhattan, everything has a fucking line.
To get into Spirit Halloween?
Jesus.
Everything's a line.
Layelani, five stars.
The costume I bought was a unicorn without ears, and it was super expensive.
So three stars for most of the unicorn costume, minus two, one for each year.
And you're out.
There you go.
What is this?
Christie, two stars.
We walked up and we were told we had to wait in line for 10 minutes to get into the store.
Uh-huh.
Not to buy shit to get in.
To spirit Halloween.
Wow.
Wow.
From the outside, we could clearly see it wasn't packed and barely anyone was inside.
Come to find out that all the waiting is to accommodate people making TikToks and taking pictures.
I will...
There's probably that.
Murder you if I have to fucking...
I'm going to find something in here that's not...
made a plastic that I can stab you with.
If you're fucking, I have to wait for your TikTok to be done.
Fuck you.
By the register, there's a bunch of coffee mugs you can glass people with.
Perfect.
Excellent.
Here, put this in your TikTok assholes.
And they're heavy as fuck.
I got a...
You're going to get a lot of views on this.
Yeah.
When you get blasted with this killer clowns from outer space mug.
Take that.
Oh, God.
Oh, that is horrifying.
It's one thing to accept in this day and age, the costumes are overpriced.
and cheaply made.
It's not on spirit.
That's the whole Halloween costume industry.
But I shouldn't be kept waiting in line for over 10 minutes like I'm going to a club
to enter a store with cheaply made costumes made mostly of polyester and pay $65
for the thing to rip on wear number one.
Yeah.
Well, you're only going to wear it number one.
That's it.
That's a fucking Halloween costume.
Yeah.
Unless you go to a costume shop and get like an expensive one.
an expensive one.
Yeah.
Those will last, but they're going to cost you $800.
It's a different thing.
Thousands of dollars, yeah.
It's way different.
The selection was organized, but no real signage to show what the different types are.
I would avoid unless you're looking for a video or picture with one of their animatronics.
And really, is that your, that's the content you're going to put out me with a fucking, with a mass produced animatronic that's 7,000 stores across the country have?
That's your TikTok?
Yeah.
Yeah, you deserve failure.
I'm sure.
They all are.
It seems like everybody on TikTok is making a million dollars.
Yeah.
It's really annoying.
No shit.
For nothing.
For nothing.
For no talent whatsoever.
Okay.
They just need people doing weird shit all the time, every day, every minute.
No.
No.
Judith, two stars.
Such a beautiful big store.
But no one to help you out.
or even greet you as you come in.
What a start to reopening this season.
Didn't feel the positive energy in this location, sadly.
No positive.
Go in and buy a piece of shit costume and leave.
That's the store.
What are you looking for?
I don't know what the fuck they're looking for.
Torrance two stars.
Nice selection.
The customer service needs improvement.
Nobody's there to help you select a costume.
Why would you need help selecting?
Pick one.
Pick what you want.
You need somebody to walk you around spirit?
Rick? What about Mario Brothers? Do you want to be Mario Brothers? No. Okay. Do you want to be a vampire for fucking... You want to be a prisoner? You want to be Dracula?
That one too. There's a lot of vampires. We have all of them. A lot of them, yeah. You want to be Edward from Twilight?
Do you want to be unlicensed Edward from Twyfright? And then I just scrolled. It's so funny because they show a
of four costumes. One is Super Mario
Brothers, which is fucking hilarious, exactly what I said.
The other is...
Oh, five nights at Freddy's. There you go.
Freddy jumpsuit. It's in blurry,
I couldn't see. This is a referee.
Sure, or no... Unlicensed
referee. Unlicensed referee. Includes shirt, hat, whistle.
You're on your own with pants.
A Winnie the Boone.
Even worse, if you want to be a
special ops soldier. Yeah.
That only comes with a vest and a beret.
So that is a very special operation you have going on there.
Extremely special.
That's a horny operations officer.
Operation fucking horn dog over there.
Operation bend over.
Yeah.
Wow.
Mimi, one star.
Beware of dangerous employee and incompetent management.
Wow.
Do not shop with your children.
An employee threw a baseball-sized sticky putty ball
above the wall where I was shopping.
The ball didn't stick
and fell on the side of my forehead
right above my eye, which was painful.
Just so you drilled me in the face.
How funny would that have all been to watch
from a distance, though.
This guy throw it.
Oh, it doesn't stick.
It falls.
Ow!
We'd have fell on the floor laughing.
If she's fine, it's...
Just whacked a fucking customer.
If it's just an ow, it's fine.
Yeah.
It's very funny.
It knocks her out.
It's amazing.
Then it's...
really funny for a minute until we realize.
I don't know.
That her breathing is getting...
That her breathing is getting labored.
And then we might stop laughing for a minute.
Maybe.
Oh, she's rattling.
Yeah.
Let's get out of here.
That's what it would be.
Run.
Run.
The employee lied in my face.
Lied in my face.
Yeah, lied in my face.
And another who witnessed the incident brushed it off and laughed.
No apologies.
Management was not helpful and nor cared.
but no okay
didn't give a shit about your fucking eye
maybe they just determined it to be weak
not a great throw
you got a weak eye that's what it is
and a weak throw it's all good
Amanda one star
the girl with the blue hair
at the door was so rude
she kept using the megaphone
yelling at shoppers to hurry up
be considerate and quote
shop and get out
that's New York
shop and get out let's go
be considerate
Then say in the next breath, be considerate.
That's hilarious.
Consider it for you, not for me, that kind of thing.
You do it, not as I say, not as I do.
Yeah, that's the funniest thing ever.
Get the fuck out of here.
Be nice to each other.
It's so funny.
Holy shit.
The store was empty and for some reason they were limiting entry.
Totally not the fault of the shoppers.
Plenty of space.
I left LOL. I didn't even buy anything.
To ghetto. Go somewhere else.
Oh, don't say that.
Or you can go on the internet where they have anything you could possibly want.
Yeah, you can order it and have it.
Do you need to try on a Halloween costume?
I've never heard of that before.
No.
It's going to be ill-fitting?
Unless it's like a Halloween.
They're all ill-fitting.
Yeah, they're not made for you.
It's not tailored, man.
Yeah, right.
Rahul, one star.
by far the worst ever customer experience I have had in a store.
Oh.
What do they do to him?
Stab him?
I mean, honestly, what could you do to someone to make the worst thing ever?
The worker Karen was extremely rude.
I don't think her name's really, Karen.
She's just the worker Karen.
Unhelpful and uncooperative with all requests, laughing at the items I was going to return,
and treated me as if I was a scammer for using a digital application.
Apple pay card.
She refused to process a return and was not helpful in any manner.
Yeah, we're leaving in a month.
Whatever you buy, you keep.
Your shit.
There is no return policy here.
No.
How long?
None.
You bought it?
Get the fuck out.
You come back on November 1st and tumbleweeds blow through there.
There's no returns.
We won't.
Doors will be locked.
Yeah, you'll go, there used to be something here, right?
I swear.
Yeah, like the, like the kid and big going back.
looking for that.
Where is it?
Looking for Zoltan.
It's not there.
It's not here anymore.
It's not here anymore.
It never will be again.
It's gone.
It left in the 70s.
I will never be returning to the store solely because of my experience with her.
Word of caution, stay away from this place.
Oh, boy.
Now it's sounding scary.
Now I've got to go there.
Sounds fun.
Wendy, one star.
Manager was rude and would cut you off when you tried to explain something.
I went to do an exchange on a conference.
on a costume and she had no idea
how to do a refund for
Klarna.
What is?
Oh, that's a...
K-L-A-R-N-A.
Yeah, it's a website of...
It's a delivery thing.
No.
Isn't it?
Or is Klarna...
Not sure.
I don't know.
It's on the internet.
I thought it was a character.
She bought a costume up, so I had no fucking idea.
I was like, who's...
What shows that from?
It's on the internet.
Gustavo, one star.
Yeah.
All caps, first sentence.
Warning about safety.
I came to the store at night.
I bought what I was looking for.
But when I was leaving the store,
I was approached by two guys asking to see the receipt.
Two guys.
Two guys.
Costco's huge.
They got one old lady at the front.
Yeah, yeah.
You can blow right past stiff armor and keep going.
I've been into several Halloween stores.
I don't recall seeing an employee until I pay.
You pay?
There's someone to take money and that's it.
they're at. Yeah. They didn't seem to work there at all and looked clearly high. Yeah.
Yeah. That is not part of it. What are you doing? You are an idiot. Yeah. The way they were behaving and
aggressively approached me made me thought I would be assaulted. Totally unprofessional. Well,
they don't work there. Why would they be professional? You just got junkies off the street that
fucking wanted to see what you bought. And you're like, unprofessional. Yeah, those junkies should be
way more professional. I'll never buy in this store again and definitely not recommend.
it. Now, the response from the owner, though, those people did work here.
Did they? The ones who are clearly high and assaulting them over a seat. We appreciate
the time to bring this experience to our attention. We're sorry to hear that our employees
made you feel uncomfortable while shopping with us. We will address this situation with our team
next season. Not now. We'll do it next year. We do one training thing and that's it. We don't
try to adjust on the fly.
I just made a skit, a little sketch to put in the video for orientation next year.
Yeah, now we know.
Thank you.
I'll write that down to ensure better experience is had by our guests.
We hope you'll come back next season and give us another chance.
Next season.
Next season.
See in a year.
It's a little late now.
We're closed up.
All closed up, everybody.
Adam One Star, small selection, terrible customer service.
I asked an employee if he knew where I could find an item.
and he just said no and walked away.
Not even like, I can help you.
I'll look.
I'll ask somebody.
I don't.
See you around.
I know.
And I'm not going to bother trying to remember that.
I learned and shit.
This is closed and four weeks.
I got about eight days left of employment.
So fuck this place.
They pay for one month rent and then we get the fuck out of it.
And I'm out of here.
Chavana, one star.
The store was a mess.
They had a sign on the door claiming everything was 50% off.
but when I got to the register, they said it was for the day after Halloween.
Yeah, that's when it's 50% off.
No, no, it's October 30th.
Yeah, that's when everything's double price.
Yeah, that's we really, that's when we really kick it up.
You need it bad on the 30th.
That's how we make the money back on the 50%.
I'm lost cause.
They mean because, but it comes out, I'm lost cause, which is very fun.
I'm lost cause.
Why you wouldn't be, why you?
Why wouldn't you be specific about that and have a date on it?
I feel like it was false advertising.
Yeah, that was the point to get you in there.
Right.
They got you there, right?
Yeah, there you go.
You probably bought something.
Brian, one star, super unprofessional with a lot of attitude, claimed I was using counterfeit money.
Oh.
Counterfeit money after just cashing out from the bank.
They got a marker and just made holes in two of the 50s.
Oh, no.
Made holes in them.
never felt so embarrassed, highly not recommended this place.
Yeah, these are fake because 50s don't rip.
Yeah, they're not supposed to rip.
So, you know, wow, Justine, one star.
Terrible experience.
Me and my friends went there and they accused us of stealing and forced us to open our bags.
They even made one of my friends take off their jacket.
We were also followed by employees the whole time.
Well, at least you found the employees.
No one else can find them.
They were strip searched.
Apparently so.
All right, now you're underweds.
Let's go.
We had intentions of buying something.
We did not take anything or joke or even joked about taking anything.
It's not like they were like.
We often do that and we're going to steal.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
Asriel, one star.
Not opened on time.
Wanted to do last minute shopping, but I guess the managers don't want to make money.
I guess not.
I guess not.
Balbina one star, disorganized and clerks weren't.
Kind.
Very unkind people.
Again, this is it here.
Morrow, one star.
It's consistently a hellscape of complete nonsense.
That's true too.
A hellscape of nonsense is a very good way to put it.
That's a Halloween store.
Hellscape of nonsense.
I like that.
It is to be expected, apparently.
Here's a good one.
Sam, one star.
Very short, four words.
This store doesn't exist.
Not anymore.
Wow.
Not on November 2nd, but I saw a picture of it at the beginning.
I think it does.
It's there.
It's there.
Jeremy, one star.
The attention of the people was average to bad.
Right.
Yes.
Okay.
I understand that it was very busy at the time, but they give you a sour look that
leaves you with little desire to return and not to mention that there was nothing left.
Absolutely nothing to buy.
Just some costumes for children.
I think there are a better place.
Yeah, once it's gone, it's gone.
They're not restocking.
They're trying to sell everything.
That's the point.
I'm shocked that anybody anywhere expects anything.
Anything, especially from a place that you know is going to be gone in three weeks.
Zero repercussions very soon.
Nobody cares.
Repercussions, never coming soon here.
It's over.
No, because, I mean, you've got to think about what kind of a, who's the person that gets a job for a month?
Yeah.
I'll take that.
Like, no, I want longer term employment, you know.
The person is in dire straits and needs money now.
So they give it to them.
And they're high and want to look through your bag, apparently.
Yeah.
And make you take your coat on it.
I'm exhausted between Russian McDonald's and...
Oh, my God.
We need to kick back a little bit.
Subway, James.
The subway.
The hellscape that was, what did she call it, the...
The hellscape of nonsense.
Hellscape of nonsense.
There you go.
Between all of that, let's relax.
Let's go to the movies.
We're going to the synopolis.
Sinopolis,
Luxury Cinemas
in Inglewood IMAX.
Sinopolis.
Sinopolis, like cinema.
Wow.
And a metropolis.
Yeah, it's metropolis.
Metropopolis.
I like that.
It's a great cinema.
Now, this is one of those ones
that you can order food
and like it's like a waiter.
It's like a restaurant.
Oh, I love them.
Those are wonderful.
That's a wonderful thing.
There's one right by my house
and I do it with my daughter.
that sounded terrible.
I take her to the movies there.
Jimmy.
What the fuck?
I take my daughter there at least once a month and it's so fucking great.
She still smuggles candy in and thinks it's so funny.
They don't give a fuck.
No, they don't care.
They just gave you nachos.
She brought in McDonald's under a coat and I'm like, baby, you could just wander in.
They do not care.
They don't give a shit.
Yeah, it's fine.
Well, this is movie theater chain offering state-of-the-art sound and projection technology.
1233 district drive, Suite 100, Inglewood, California.
Yeah.
Okay.
It has 3.7 stars.
Which, how do you fuck this up?
That's, this seems like a home run every time.
It's so easy.
You literally have zero attention you have to pay to anybody for an hour and a half.
Just drop the food off.
Yeah, give it to them, hour and a half later, they fucking leave.
They're distracted.
Well, they've found a way to fuck this.
up apparently. Let's find out how they did this.
Rochelle. Englewood.
Five stars. I had a great experience coming here
for the first time to watch Lilo and Stitch in 3D.
At first I was confused and looked around for the concession stand.
The seats were super comfortable. The bar and lounge were
grandiose. Definitely worth coming here.
It is amazing because they like,
they scan your ticket and they go
theater six and then they like point you the way. And then you're like,
well, where do I get candy and they're like,
go.
Just go there.
Go sit down.
We'll take, explain this.
Yeah.
Glenn, four stars, great new dinner theater.
That's not, there's dinner theater something very specific.
And it's definitely not dinner.
Dinner theater is a different thing completely.
Right.
That's live actors in shape.
Yeah, yeah.
The atmosphere and overall experience are enjoyable and it's a nice addition to the area.
You're not going there going, I'll have the veal millinets.
Right.
That's not.
Yeah.
That's not true.
Anything piccata around here.
No, I'll have the burger and the fries.
You'll have the nachos and you'll shut the fuck up.
That's it. I'll have a hot dog. Great.
Terrific.
Oh, man.
Let's see here.
However, it's a shame.
Oh, the atmosphere and overall experience are enjoyable, and it's a nice addition to the area.
However, it's a shame that thorough cleaning isn't done between shows.
On both of my last visits, the trays at our seats hadn't been cleaned, which took away from the otherwise pleasant experience.
With a bit more attention to cleanliness, this place could truly shine.
And that's a thing is you would need more time in between showings because there's actual food.
It's just a, it's not sweeping up popcorn.
Right.
But to make money, we have to jam these fucking movies back to back, get you the fuck out, run a broom, pack them back in.
Especially if it's like a three-hour movie.
How many showings can you get in a day if you need to?
That's eight, eight if you just keep showing it to the same people.
Yeah.
Jolie, three stars.
Uh-huh.
This was the first time at the theater after ordering four tickets online, plus surcharge and tax came to $77.
Oh, that, yeah, that's the other part.
That's pricey.
This shit is so expensive.
It's an IMAX theater, too.
So you're getting, they charge more.
Yeah, it's a better production.
They just charge more.
You knew that.
Once at the theater, you have to pay for parking, you get a three-hour parking validation.
It's like a garage, parking garage with validation.
The ambiance is nice.
The inside and reference.
Restrooms are clean.
Our movie started at nine.
We got there around 8.30.
After sitting in the lobby to order food, we decided to go to our seats instead and order our food and drinks and popcorn.
We were the only ones in the theater, question mark.
Wow.
There was a young lady in there who took our order drinks.
Lobster cheese sandwich with a side of corn.
What?
What?
You're getting lobster at a movie theater?
That's incredible.
You got a lobster roll.
Lobster cheese sandwich with a side of corn and my calamari.
What?
Where is this?
In Ginglewood.
Wow.
Which came to $72.
You got lobster and calamari.
Yeah.
What do you want?
Jesus.
It's $8.
It's $9 for goobers, for Christ's sake.
What do you want?
You want lobster over here?
You are going to shit your pants with seafood in an hour and a half movie.
You're going to miss half that movie.
You're going to shit.
for sure. It's $11 for a large
Chuckles. What do you want?
Our friends ordered what they ordered.
$73, the waitress
said it would be. It said it would be
about 30 to 45 minutes.
We asked that the popcorn be brought out
after food. We want to eat
first, then have popcorn. Who the fuck knows?
By now it's like 9 o'clock
and people are coming in. It's about
30 minutes into the movie. People
are starting to get their food. My
group got their food. I was
still waiting. They brought out popcorn.
They think that's an appetizer.
More time goes by.
I asked another waitress about my order.
Now it's a two-hour wait.
That's longer than the movie, so
never mind. Cancel that.
Later. Before the end of the movie, I
canceled my order. I never got my
calumari. But I did get a refund.
Yeah, because you never got food. That's good. Yeah.
I just know if I go back,
I need to go about an hour before the movie,
eat in the lobby, then get my popcorn.
Which defeats the entire purpose of
what you're doing.
You're at a movie theater.
Stop staggering your fucking orders.
Just get everything at once.
How long does popcorn stay warm?
Four seconds.
Exactly.
Same amount of time, pancakes stay warm.
You exactly four seconds.
Four seconds.
No, it's not four and a half.
It's four seconds.
No matter what you order,
it's your first bite, warm, second handful, cold, ice cold.
Ice cold.
First one. Oh, that's amazing.
Okay, that's still pretty good.
That'll be fine.
It's fine.
But this person said, eat.
So I stagger it.
This person said, eat in the lobby.
So that's the, the whole point of coming.
You might as well eat before you get to the theater.
The whole point of coming here is to sit down and eat the dinner while you're watching the fucking movie.
You got lobster sandwiches and calamari and shit over here.
But you got, you just got to order everything together.
You can't stagger anything.
No, totally.
I'll have the popcorn at the first intermission.
There's no intermission.
Dude, we go to.
a restaurant and we go, however it comes out, it comes out.
Whatever.
We don't care.
We're still going to leave a good tip.
Yeah, it's not going to change the flavor of the steak to have the salad after it.
Don't care.
Don't give a shit.
I'm fine.
CMS, one star.
I should have read the reviews first.
You should have listened to this show first is what you should have done.
Everyone should listen to this show before they go anywhere.
Especially a Russian subway.
I am familiar with these theaters.
and have been a regular patron of the Westlake location for years.
Unfortunately, I was deeply disappointed by my recent experience at the Englewood location.
To begin with, after pressing my call button, it took an unusually long time for someone to respond.
When a young man who appeared to be a high school student finally arrived, I asked if I could purchase the rather pricey bottle of Prosecco.
Wow.
You got, what do you get bottle service?
You're getting bottle service?
service. That is wild.
Give me the lobster, too, while you're at it.
You're out of movie theater.
Can I have a dog? I love the dom from a child?
Wow. I requested that the bottle be opened in front of me.
Oh, Jesus.
I am a former bar owner and prefer to see a bottle opened in my presence to ensure authenticity.
Fuck.
Just because you scam people on shit. Maybe they're not.
To make sure people aren't falling the shit I did.
Same shit I did.
He seemed confused by the request and said he would check with someone and never returned.
I found this to be highly unprofessional.
The theater itself was uncomfortably warm and smelled musty,
clearly due to reduced air conditioning.
Even more concerning, there was trash everywhere.
See the picture.
For a theater that advertises itself as a luxury experience,
this is simply unacceptable.
There are two entrances available for servers to use,
yet the servers appeared to all use the entrance on the right.
of us. As a result, servers repeatedly walked across our line of sight during the movie to serve guests seated at the far side of the theater.
That's probably where the kitchen is.
Yeah, well, you should go around because you're in my way. Go be in those people's way. Yeah. Yeah. At the West Lake, is that it? Yeah. At West Lake, servers use the appropriate entrance closest to the guest, which minimizes disruption. Oh, you want it to be, you want it to be based on the seating chart.
at that location, when servers are delivering refreshments or otherwise entering the auditorium,
they generally stick to the aisles and side pathways to avoid navigating directly in front of guests.
Sounds like you should go to the Westlake location because you like a lot.
It sounds like you found the one you enjoy.
And it's not this one.
Entering from the left or right aisle helps minimize crossing the end.
We get it.
We fucking get it.
If they're on the left, come on the left side.
If they're on the right, come on the fucking right side.
Don't walk in front of people.
Enough already.
Jesus, he keeps going on,
which can block views or cause unnecessary interruptions,
especially during the movie.
Here, I counted over 100 instances.
You watch the movie.
Watch the fucking movie.
You asshole.
Why are you here?
You're here to critique.
You have the largest screen in the world,
and that can't distract you from a waitress
walking across your fucking line of sight.
Jesus Christ, you fuck.
attention span of a fucking nat.
What are you talking about?
That is the bummer about having a waiter
is that people are moving around the theater.
But if you can't,
if you have so much ADD, you can't do that.
You can't focus on the move.
Then you're in the wrong place.
How many fucking comedy clubs have we played?
We're telling a four hour punchline
and someone walks right in front of us
and goes more fucking cheese sticks.
And you got to,
that's life.
Sorry.
Would you like another order of fredzel dicks?
Yeah.
Here I counted over 100 instances where servers grussed in front of us, which made it nearly impossible to focus on the film, especially when you're counting.
This could have been easily avoided with basic training and common sense.
We eventually ordered the Prosecco from a different server who was professional and efficient, and the bottle arrived quickly.
However, it was already opened upon arrival, which I found inappropriate.
I'm glad you found it.
Wine or champagne should always be opened in front.
front of the guest. Yes, in a nice restaurant
where they fuck. This is a theater.
The guy doesn't want to, maybe he's not good at opening.
Wine opening is a skill. He's a high school kid. He doesn't know what he's doing.
He had the bartender do it. When I worked at a nice Italian restaurant, you had to like
fucking practice the, so you're wanting, you could do it real smooth while you're talking to
people. Which is about to make a shitload of noise. That's the other thing.
The other fucking fraud. In the middle of fucking long walk? I don't.
don't want to hear that. Perfectly fine for him to distract other people, but not the servers.
However, it was already open. Wine or champagne should always be open in front of the guest.
In today's climate, where concerns about food and beverage safety are more heightened,
especially after watching videos online, it is reassuring to see your bottle opened in front of you.
Finally, there was a large, noticeable stain on the movie screen, which appeared to be from someone having thrown something at it.
Uh-oh.
How else would it get there?
That's not good.
What the fuck's going on?
This blemish was distracting and took away from the overall viewing experience.
This is a fail.
Sorry, do not go here.
It's a horrible experience.
It might have been somebody opened Prosecco in the theater.
And it shot all over the screen.
Here's the pictures of all that garbage.
There's like a few receipts on the ground in the corner where the, it's like by the server station.
Who cares?
Crazy.
Who gives a goddamn flying shit?
Horrible experience.
Okay.
Aaron, one star.
I want to start off by saying
the attendant at the front door
was excellent and a pleasure.
I really wanted to like this place,
but the customer service was horrible.
The staff takes your order
and you're lucky if it comes out.
Lucky if it comes out at all, I guess.
And if you mention to them
that your drinks should come before your food,
they'll tell you, quote,
what do you want me to do about it?
Right.
I don't know.
I don't know.
know, bring the drinks before the food.
I'm a high school kid.
I don't know.
I do what they tell me to do.
I don't know.
And all this for $170?
Uh-huh.
That's an expensive night out.
You could have gone to a Broadway show for that kind of fucking money.
Yeah.
I don't think we've ever spent over $100 there, ever.
Yeah, that seems like a lot.
That's steep.
I've had a better experience eating nuggets and at a regular theater.
She said and a regular theater, but we'll say with nuggets.
Yeah.
Ryan one star.
I've been coming to this theater since it opened,
hoping it would eventually find its footing.
Unfortunately, it's only gone downhill.
And my most recent visit was the final straw.
Yeah.
The seats were literally coming apart.
The floor was disgusting and sticky.
The menu at our table was coated in grime,
and the theater was unbearably hot the entire time.
That I won't abide.
I don't care about the food, the dirt.
I go into a movie theater.
It's fucking cold.
I want to bring a jacket to the movies.
My daughter loves to bring a goddamn blanket.
Yeah, I want it to be freezing.
We're burning that blanket when we're done with that.
It's going to have bed bugs in it.
Oh, it's fucked.
Especially in Arizona, it's so hot.
You just want to...
That's the escape.
Half of the movie tickets sold in Arizona
are just people wanting to sit and cold for fucking two hours.
They don't care about what's playing.
Their house is 78.
The theater is 70.
Perfect.
Going there, cooling down.
It's like going swimming.
It was so loud inside that communicating with our waiter was impossible.
Not that it mattered because they never delivered our food anyway.
I ordered soda, wings, a sandwich and nachos for my group.
Only the soda arrived.
There you go.
The kitchen's dirty.
Well, it came before the food, so you should be happy about that.
We sat through the entire movie, starving.
Starving.
Starving?
When I spoke to the manager,
afterward, he removed the food charges from the bill. Well, I would hope so if you never got it. Why would he dig his heels in on that?
No, I'm sorry, you ordered it. You're keeping it. Yeah. That's, yeah, and why would there be a bill with food charges on it? If there were, if there's no food, I'm not paying for that.
No, but frankly, the damage was done. This isn't a one-time fluke. Every time I visited there's this location, there's been some issue. Missing food, wrong charges, disgusting restrooms with no soap or paper towels, or, or,
or just general disorganization.
It's truly a shame to see such a beautifully designed venue so poorly managed.
This place could have been a gem for the neighborhood.
But instead, it's become a frustrating, unsanitary mess run by incompetence.
A hellscape of nonsense.
It's run by children, man.
Run by children.
That's what they are.
Incompetence.
Save your money and literally go anywhere.
All right.
Anywhere.
Okay.
We'll round it out with Samantha here because she's got a lot to complain about.
And then we'll finish up the movies next week.
Great.
Here we go, because these are fun.
Samantha, one star.
If I could give this place zero stars, I would.
She did it.
Yay, Samantha.
We're doing it.
Our hero of the week, Samantha, everybody.
Went here last night for Fantastic Four, and I've never been so grossed out.
Oh.
The bathrooms had no toilet paper.
This is my favorite line.
There was literal shit as opposed to theoretical shit.
Literal shit on the wall.
Yeah, there was some shit all over two of the four toilets.
God damn.
And when I told someone about the situation and asked for toilet paper, they said, quote, there's nothing we can do.
No, this is the cost of having lobster served here.
People are going to shit it out everywhere.
We can't help it.
Sorry.
We have to keep them while their body processes that and turns it into that.
That's how this works.
The movie was set to start at 735, but by 750, the screen was still black and all the lights were on.
Movies should start on time.
Yeah, that's crazy.
I went out to the front desk to ask what was going on, and there were already people out there wondering the same thing.
The girl said, quote, they're on it now.
We forgot to start the movie.
Ah.
You never said that.
By bad.
Yeah.
You have to say something like the guy that operates the thing had a heart attack.
I'm so sorry.
We just took him out on a gurney and replaced him.
Or we had a technical glitch just got fixed.
It should be starting in two seconds.
We forgot.
Then it sounds like you solved a problem for them and now they should be thrilled.
Instead, oh, our bad, we forgot is not the right answer.
The only thing we do here is start movies and we forgot.
and we forgot.
Literally what we do here.
That's it.
Imagine going to an NFL game,
sitting there being like,
this was supposed to be a 1 o'clock,
and a referee comes out at the field at 120
and goes, we forgot to start playing.
We forgot to start the clock.
We'll get everybody on the field
and get this started pretty soon.
We all forgot why we were here today.
Everyone forgot.
Anthem was sung.
Everybody forgot.
The fucking planes went over.
Everything happened.
There's a ball sitting on a team.
with nobody ready to kick it.
It's just sitting there.
We forgot.
We forgot.
Next, you can't go up to order food,
so your only option is to order food from your seat.
That's how it's set up.
That's the thing, yeah.
We ordered three burgers.
We did not receive them until there was literally 25 minutes left in the movie,
and then they forgot to bring us back our credit card and check.
Terrific.
Of course they did.
They forgot to start the movie.
Yeah, they didn't even start the goddamn movie.
The poor girl next to us
Waited the entire film for a pizza
That she never got
Just longing for a pizza
And the guy next to us never got his fries
Please
You can get
Yeah
Good Lord
You have an app
You can order it all before you go
And then you set the time for it to show up
Ten minutes before the movie
Is fucking recommended by me
And it shows the fuck up
And then
Recommended by me
Nothing
It's not like on the next
because I've done it different times and the 10 minutes before always works out best.
Yeah, that seems good.
And it's always there.
And it's always there when the movie starts.
The popcorn comes after the food.
So you get your food.
Then the popcorn,
I don't know how they do that,
but they figure that out on their own.
And they drop it right in front of you and fucking movie starts.
You watch a movie and you leave feeling like a piece of shit because you just ate movie theater food.
And didn't even,
and didn't walk four feet afterwards, just sat there eating and then.
Just sat there.
Now you need to unload it all on their fucking toilet.
Good Christ.
Please save yourself from this place.
I couldn't even enjoy the movie because all I could think about was how hungry I was waiting for my food.
What a not an adult.
Oh, what an asshole.
All right.
That said, we will leave it there.
We'll continue with the movie theater next time.
We have more Halloween madness for you next time and all sorts of other stuff for you.
We can't wait.
You should definitely listen to our other two shows, crime in sports, and of course, small-town murder, which are exactly what they sound like.
But funny, check us out and follow us on social media.
Definitely check us out in all the places that you can check us out.
Do that.
Shut up and Give Me Murder.com.
It gets you all your merchandise.
We got scunt stuff.
Come back.
Keep hanging out with us.
Keep doing this shit.
And we will see you next week, everybody.
So hungry.
Bye.
