You ever see a little kid do something shitty and they don't know how to lie yet.
So you'll be like, hey, did you rub chocolate milk all over your face?
Is that why you look like that?
And they're like, no, um, um, there was a chocolate what happened was that's how Ben Shapiro
pretends not to be pro mass shooter in his fucking movie.
Right, but then he periodically just goes,
I love traveling milk on my face.
I'm sorry, back to the line.
You're like, whoa, what?
Exactly. movie, movie, movie.
Welcome back to God awful movies. For each week, we're watching another terrible movie
so you don't have to.
I'm your host, Heathenwright,
and sitting in a jumperoo bouncy thing
that he definitely retrofitted for an adult
is my good friend, Eli Bosnick.
Eli, how's it going? Ha ha ha ha? I'm fantastic, Keith. I hate this movie. I hate everyone who made it and I would like
to start yelling about it. That's fair. Just bounce around a little bit. Relax. You're
okay, buddy. I really want one of those. I need ukulele accompaniment. I really want
that jump roofing. It's a good idea. And sitting in Southern California with her dog that she did not abandon like Ted Cruz
did is veteran guest maskist, Harris and Maria.
Carol, welcome back.
Thanks.
Oh my gosh.
I'm loving the Ted Cruz news.
He's stupid.
It's so bad.
It's so, especially because all my family is like freezing their nuts off in Texas right
now.
And literally having to build fires and, you you know just banana stuff because they don't have power.
What a dick.
Trying to be contrite about it now.
He's so bad at everything.
I know.
All right, let's just get right into the movie Kara.
What are we going to be breaking down today?
Ooh, so this movie is called from Hyde Fight.
And the movie plays out in that order.
Yes, it does.
And it's bad.
It's really bad.
Oh, God.
And Eli, maybe you could elaborate how bad was this movie?
Well, if you loved Die Hard, but you're mad that nobody adapted into a workplace safety
video, you will love this movie.
Where they break all the rules, by the way.
All of them.
Yep.
Yep.
All right.
And is there anything you'd like to nominate this one for being the best at being the
worst at?
Ooh, best worst controversial backstory because you may not have known this, but they actually
killed a deer on camera for this film which
Massive uproar and seriously yes and
They remove the name of one of the executive producers because he got arrested for sexual assault
shocking
Never could have predicted that everyone who made this move move, the IMTB goofs page for this,
or like, he killed his entire family and then himself
in a quadruple homicide that's left the house haunted
since 1972.
Also, the bullets at the wrong position in the wall.
All right, we kind of need something that's not goof for this,
maybe it's a separate section that's not goof, it's. It's a separate section. That's not goof.
It's just horrible heinous thing about the people. I know. A tab for that.
If I can go a little deeper on that story because we're going to talk about it in the first shot,
but then we have to talk about the plot of this horrible fucking thing. So the opening shot of this
movie, Spoiler Alert, is the daughter and the father hunting. And because this movie was made
by idiots,
they just went out and shot a deer with a skeleton crew and they were like, look, that realism,
we did great. And then, of course, the second makeup advisor found out about this and was
like, hey, man, did you murder an animal for your shitty little manifesto movie and the
director being an idiot was like, yep, totally did. And she was like, cool. I'm going
to tell the union you're in trouble now.
But as a dog's life taught us, you're not allowed to just murder animals for your movie.
No, it's pretty, it's pretty amazing. Like I, I, I dug really deep into this. And although
there are technically no laws against it, and it just seemed like they,
well, they claim at least that the deer was hunted on private property, and Texas has pretty
you know, extreme laws about hunting. Like you can capitol punish a deer in Texas, 100%.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's totally different than a lot of like I don't even think you need a
license if it's on your property, and it's you know, seen as like a call, like if it's, you know, a species that
kind of needs management anyway.
All right, the purge.
That's part of Texas.
And to be clear for anybody listening to this, I'm actually not that I'm like super pro
hunting, but I'm not anti hunting.
I think that there's a space for hunting.
And I think that actually there are a lot of situations in which we need to ethically
hunt in order to manage populations of certain animals. That said, it is a blatant
violation. As you said of union rules, no animal should be harmed in the making of any film.
And if you notice, they couldn't put that disclaimer anywhere on the movie.
They could not put the opposite disclaimer on the screen.
Okay, one animal was harmed in the making of this movie. No, they could not have had to put the opposite disclaimer on. Yeah. Okay,
one animal was harmed in the making of this movie. We're sorry. And there's the whole deep dive
on the internet by the Daily Beast. And it's amazing. Like there's actually an animal handler
that worked on the film because they're rats in one point. And the rats were like cared for
because there was like, you know, a legitimate animal handler who brought them and who worked
with them. And she didn't know, they kept it from a bunch of people
that they went in the middle of the night
and shot this deer or at dusk or whatever.
And yeah, people freaked out when they found out.
Now I just really want in the background,
we see the animal handler finding out
in the background of a shot, she just side tackles the director.
What the fuck?
What the fuck?
Anyway. of a shot, she just side tackles the director. What the fuck? How do I... Now I want to make a movie about a deer hunting Ben Shapiro.
A reverse deer hunter scenario.
Yeah.
But okay, so for best worst, I was going to go with best worst crisis actors.
I'm sick.
And I mean that like literally the movie is made by a team of crisis actors.
This is what crisis actors are. That's what that is. That's what we're watching.
That hero employs a team of crisis actors to make this movie.
It's like you know when Trump calls certain things fake news, but then he makes fake
news. It's like that. It's like that. Yeah.
The news, the movie. And on a related note, I was going to go with best, worst person to make a movie about
mass shootings.
You know, if the Quebec mass shooter had visited my Twitter 93 times in the month leading
up to his attack, you know what I wouldn't make a movie about anything, Ben Shapiro, because
I would have beaten myself to death with a sock full of bars is so bad a human decency, but I definitely wouldn't have made one about school shootings.
So here's the thing, Ben Shapiro knows unequivocally that more than one mass shooter has been
his fan and he made a fucking how to guide as a movie.
We have rarely watched something more abhorrent than this film,
and we've now watched two, you really ought to marry your rapist films.
Oh God. We actually have. Wow. Didn't want to remember that.
I legit feel bad for a lot of the people who worked on this movie because again, we're still doing backstory here. This company, Bonfire Media, is actually just a repath of an old company called Sina Something.
If you guys seen this, okay, Sina State.
I just knew it was Daily Wire that did this.
That's all I know about it.
No, here's the crazy backstory.
So Sina State is a Dallas-based movie studio
and they specialize in populist films. For example, they made a, you know, MAGA film
starring Mel Gibson called Drag Across Concrete, which is a police brutality apology of...
How have we not done that movie? I'm sorry I'm writing it down right now.
Drag across concrete. Drag across concrete is the title of a film with Melvin Gibson.
Melvin Gibson and it's all, it's in it's like an anti-police brutality.
Not anti-like, like they're actually anti.
It's like a blue lives matter.
It's a blue lives matter.
Pro police brutality film.
And so here's the thing.
This company was disgusting on its own.
And again, there's this long back story, but whatever. One of the EPs who works for the company is like indicted for sexual assault which mind you
Shocking. Yeah, mind you.
Shhh, shhh, shh, shh, shh, he was working on run-hide fight
Even though people knew that he had this history and this movie had hundreds of underage
background actors in it Yeah, so so then there's like this, you know, outcry, a ton of these people quit the film.
They repackaged Cine State and then turned, like they shuttered and they turned it into a movie
called Bonfire Media or something like that. And then they sold the movie to the Daily Wire.
Wow. So yeah, that's locked in. We're definitely watching drag across
concrete. And we're definitely watching the five hour
Zack Snyder cut of drag across the cross concrete. Once that comes
out, looking forward to it. And with all that established, we're
going to take a quick break. And then we'll back to tell you all
about run hide fight.
You guys sure we had to do this at 6am. Well, surprise!
Surprise what guys, I woke up at 5 for this.
It's breakfast!
Yeah, I have some marshmallow cocoa sugar balls.
Or if you like cinnamon sugar candy crunch, we have that too.
Guys, I appreciate the offer of cereal, but that stuff looks like really bad for you.
Oh, it is.
Yeah, mine comes with an insulin shot.
Yes, in the box.
Wow.
Guys, why don't you just try magic spoon?
Is that a magic spoon that never runs out of cereal?
Because yeah, no, it's not real.
Is it real?
No, shh.
Listen to me.
It's a cereal.
Magic spoon has the amazing flavors you love, but without all the bad stuff.
No way.
Huh.
Wait, it's got zero grams of sugar, 13 to 14 grams of protein, and only four net grams
of carbs in every survey.
It's only 140 calories, and it will fit with like any diet.
Cool.
Plus the variety of pack comes in four flavors.
Coco, fruity, frosted, and peanut butter.
I love those flavors.
Peanut butter's the best.
Yeah, and you can even mix and match them.
Like, you know, peanut butter plus cocoa
makes a peanut butter top.
Ooh, that's such a good idea.
So where do we get this magic spoon stuff?
We have to like, kill a wizard.
Cause I will kill a wizard.
It's true, he's done it before, Kara.
Done it.
No, I don't want to know about this

Spoon for sponsoring this episode. We're in. Did you really kill a wizard?
Okay, technically it was a children's birthday party magician.
Yeah, but he still had to go.
So there's a wizard.
Going back to bed.
And that's when she told me that kissing could actually give you the codeies.
Yeah, Ben, I think your wife might be lying.
She's a doctor.
Okay, everyone settle down, settle down.
Welcome to the first ever writers meeting for Run Hyde Fight.
You're right.
Woo!
So we here at The Daily Wire are very excited to make a movie about the people that we directly
inspire all the time, all while proving the right wing media outlets are not just made
up of racists who were
scorned by the entertainment business because they contain no soul.
That's not true.
Here here.
I like to wear hats.
Yeah, exactly.
You do.
We're real people with depth and not soulless husks that should be cut up and used to feed
the starving.
That's not what we are.
Exactly.
I'm a lady and I came up with these thoughts all on my own.
Sure did. You sure did. Now, obviously school shootings are a sensitive topic. So we need
to make sure our movie is accurate as possible.
Oh my god. It totally got you guys. Look at your faces. No. Just kidding. We'll write
down whatever bullshit we want. Oh, feel it.
I got so scared I tweeted a swastika.
Yeah, because I mean, if we could Google,
we wouldn't work here, right?
Obviously.
Totally.
What's a Google?
Right, exactly.
So let's take a 15 minute break to search our names on Twitter
and harass people who don't mention us.
And then we'll bang out this homicidally dangerous movie, huh?
You ready? Okay, but everyone make sure no one touches any boobies. My wife, who's a doctor,
told me that if you touch a lady's boobies, your hands fall off. Okay.
I'm Ben Shapiro. You are. And we're back. And we're going to start with a cold open, literally looking down the barrel of a gun.
Yep.
Good start.
And as we teased earlier, this is when the makers of this movie actually killed a deer
for their movie.
Apparently, that's true.
Wow.
That's why it looks so real.
Yeah, right.
It does apparently. Wow. That's why it looks so real. Yeah. Right. It does apparently. Yeah. So
we're watching a dad taking his kid deer hunting, which I guess that's meant to be like,
oh, it's perfect. Prap for an active shooter who would freeze from a flashlight in case that
gets out of your school. I was rooting for a terrorist deer and I was going to be on board with
the movie. Oh, absolutely.
And hey, nothing makes you appreciate the cinematographic skill of David A.R. White, like the daily
wires first attempt at making a movie.
This thing is shot in the dark.
You can't see shit.
I love Eli that when you typed that word, I tried to read it out loud like seven times.
It's not real words.
Cinematographic, cinematographic, cinematographic.
That's right. Cinematographic. I'm a large generation Shakespeare. And then so she shoots it,
but she shoots it wrong, which is always a funny thing when hunters say that they're like,
they didn't die right away. I missed her. Whatever the fuck it is. So they go over and that does this amazing
idiot monologue where he goes, now his lungs will fill with blood. And he says real quote,
the animal will die a natural death. And I wrote in my notes, no, dude, you shot it.
That's fairly unnatural. And I'm just thinking to myself, like, hey, maybe you give the speech about
the torture that's happening after you finish off killing the deer. That'd be great.
Oh, yeah. Yeah. This was like, this was like a full on Titanic moment where she's like,
Oh, that's right. You go. Yeah. And then like, prize his hands from my dross.
And then right in the middle of that speech, the daughter picks up a giant rock and smashes the deer in the face.
It was so jarring and yes, so hard and yes, funny.
It's brutal.
Yeah.
And for so long, because it's interrupting his like, you know, the ancient Navajo people
as they look at that.
Wow, smash.
And he's like, oh, I really wanted like a spray of blood to get in his mouth.
Oh, my mouth was open.
No more hunting for you, okay?
We're going to therapy.
So now they get home and they appear to be being chased
by a spooky snare drum on the way home.
It's like,
but she's just like eating cereal.
Yeah, and we meet Cancer Mom right the fuck away.
So Bingo, for anybody who has cancer mom on their sheet
in the right spot, three minutes in.
And I was very confused during this scene.
And I'm so glad that you guys explained it to me
because I heard little glimpses from Thomas Jane
about the fact that her mom was dead.
So I'm like, so who is this lady in the cancer?
I literally thought that there's plot in this movie
was that her mom died of cancer or
her mom dies.
And then he remarried a woman who quickly got cancer.
And so now she has two sick moms.
That's what they were going.
And I was like, that's why I wrote, isn't that a bit over.
Yeah.
Dad, I think your dick might be radioactive.
Yeah.
To be clear, cancer mom is ghost of already dead cancer mom, but it would have been fun.
And over the top, if she was literally like a live cancer mom and ghost cancer mom,
both interacting with each other in the scene.
And I have to say cancer mom cancer ghost mom here, almost won my award for most useless
ghost in any of the movies
that we watched.
She will do anything from like, you probably shouldn't get shot to sell.
What do you think of this skirt throughout the film, but she will be absolutely no health
at all.
She'll keep changing outfits.
Her entire purpose, I think, is to narrate slowly the title of the movie and face it out throughout run hide and fight in
Acts one, two, and three. I think that's her entire purpose. Also, by the way, I must point out that it
Literally every scene she's holding a cup of tea. Yeah, and it must be cold. It's there's no way it's still warm. Yeah
She's supposed to be in heaven and she's got like tepid tea.
It's a lot of things don't make sense about it.
Yeah, and like if this is like the Christian heaven,
I so often hear about why is she still without her hair,
why does she still look ill?
Yeah.
Like it's not the heaven that's been described.
Oh, we're gonna get to that later in the movie, Carol.
Okay.
Because the answer is upsetting and stupid.
Okay.
Is there an answer to why she has symptoms of cancer in heaven?
Yeah.
He lies so good at looking at the weird undercurrent.
And you always catch the stuff I miss.
I'm a shit movie whisperer.
That's my key.
It's my skill set.
So yeah, Thomas Jane and her, they grumble at each other for a little while.
I should point out that the lead actress, first of all, her character's name is Zoe.
I found that out about three quarters of the way through the fucking movie.
Yeah, and that's why she's just called heroin.
And I love that neither of you can spell.
So you called her heroin like the drug.
Okay.
Okay, I can spell and I spell that correctly.
I don't know.
I liked this episode of God off of movies, but it was weird that he spent 45 minutes in I can spell and I spell that currently. I don't know.
I liked this episode of God off on movies, but it was weird that he spent 45 minutes in
the middle, tearfully correcting all of his spelling on the air.
It's a fun podcast, but they've gotten weird.
So yeah, they grumble at each other.
And I want to point out that Zoe, right?
Zoe is doing somewhere between like I spit on your grave remake and
Christian bail Batman, but she can't really decide
Give him a scene to scene in the movie. So in this scene her dad's like you need to go back to therapy
And she's like I don't know how to go back to therapy. I see my dead cancer mom
And he's like all right your friend is here to pick you up for school. So she she goes to school
But wait even before she leaves for school,
he's doing this whole thing about we need to go to therapy
and also like you can't wear my,
what war was Tom's training?
Like it must be Afghanistan, right?
Like how old was he supposed to be?
Yeah, he was going for like a Vietnam vet thing,
but like this movie is way too current
for that to make it his set.
Yeah, she wears his war jacket and it's definitely a Vietnam era
war jacket that became part of the fashion.
Yeah, and then he like shames her
because she's never actually been to war.
Like this is like an actual ruin of the movie.
You don't have any authentic war experience.
It's stolen valor.
Yeah, and she said to Adam like 17.
Like what is even happening? Yeah, and she said to Adam, like 17. And look at what is even happening.
Yeah, but her friend picks her up and now it's time for some team banter
as written by people who work for Ben Shapiro.
Oh, and this is the first of many instances in the film where they're like,
Hey, check it out.
We're not conservative and backward.
We're hip to the woke liberals.
There's a black kid in the movie and he's cool.
And they talk about prom and isn't it stupid that kids are always asking each other to prom?
And black love interest might as well be like, will you go to prude with me as she says,
isn't it stupid that people ask each other to prom?
Wait, don't they say that one of the senior pranks
is that like somebody ordered Thai food?
Yeah.
That's like, how is that a prank?
That's like lunch.
Was that like a racial comment?
Yeah, unclear.
Oh, unclear.
Yeah, I do, like this is the beginning of the fact
that this film is all exposition
and no character development.
Exactly, yes.
It's just verbal diarrhea to explain, you know,
I am a multi-dimensional character.
Let me tell you why.
Oh, okay, my mother recently died of cancer
and also I am troubled youth.
And also I am the kind of child
who does not want to engage with the popular kids.
And also there's a multi-racial love interest that's happening right now which makes us woke.
And speaking of exposition, look at this other weird loner character in the field right next to us right now.
He seems to be doing weird stuff because he's misunderstood.
Oh yeah, and he drives a pedo van, which apparently they borrowed from the co-executive
producer.
Yeah, that made me uncomfortable.
My dad literally had the same van for his movie.
He was a sculptor.
He had to move sculptures.
He had to get a big van, but it's the same van.
Did it have like green shag carpet because in every episode of forensic files, that's
how they find the guy because they're like green shag fibers on the dead body.
It was a brown shag carpet.
Different.
They'll never convicted them now.
So now it's time for typical American high school.
And the only reason I include this scene, nothing happens, but we see some seniors like putting underwear up on a flagpole. And I just wanted to say that
you'll never convince me that someone didn't hang Ben Shapiro from a flagpole by his underwear
for their senior prank. I know that in my heart to be true.
That happens like at the daily wire prank day. Like that happened last week to him.
No, his wife did that to him like yesterday morning. That was like their morning
ritual. You gotta let me. I'm a doctor. So now she's gonna go to class and we're gonna
meet her wacky best friend. Yeah, and she's, you know, a singer and look, you did so well in
your recording and and now there's like a, like a prom thing with people in Shakespeare costumes
because that's a thing that happens,
not in my school. And then, oh, by the way, this is the first part where this question starts
kind of getting confusing in my head. We'll come back to it later, but like, why is this school so big
when it's in the middle of nowhere? This is a great question. It's a weirdly well-funded school.
Yeah, it's a weirdly well-funded school, and, it's a weirdly well-funded school and it's enormous, which we will realize plays
out in many ways later.
But for some reason, there are like four cops in the whole city moving on past that.
This movie cannot decide if it's like Huxen Junction, Tennessee or Austin, Texas, given
from Seen to Seen.
Yeah, or a sprawling mansion in Essex County, England that has this giant school.
Yeah.
Yeah, there's like this like mahogany furnace here in the classroom.
Yeah.
And all the teachers are like young and hot and like edgy.
Yeah.
Okay.
Did I, did I see this wrong?
Was there a couch in the Spanish room?
There was a couch in the middle of the Spanish room?
No, I think you're right, you're right.
And so, they're in this class.
I'm not sure what class it is at this point,
but the teacher is like this, you know, excited gay character.
He's basically the caricature of what it means to be LGBTQ in every movie
where people have no concept because they have no
friends in real life that are LGBTQ because of course they are alt-right assholes.
Yeah, the people wrote this movie do not understand how to represent a gay character and I really
think that what they were trying to do throughout this movie was to sort of trojan horse
this movie into mainstream America and be like maybe liberal
people will accept this because it's inclusive.
And they realize that we're trying to feed them alt-right propaganda, but they get all of
the stereotypes wrong.
Like they just make everybody a character.
Yeah, yeah.
This is 100% Ben Shapiro's quote, funniest friend doing his classic gay teacher bit that he does
at the bar. Yeah, it's awesome. Right, right. Who actually is gay, but Ben kind of deals with it by
saying, hey, the sin, not the sinner. Yeah. You know, so yeah, we have some time with Sassy
Gay teacher. And now we're in science class. And I just want to say I approve of the fact
that movie science class is 99% explosions. Okay. Real science class doesn't have anywhere near
as many explosions. Kara, I need you to get 50% more explosions in science classes by Monday.
Get on it. Oh, I love explosions. I'm totally down for that. This is our new initiative. He lied. Okay, but like big explosions in a class.
Like, can we just explain that hydrogen explodes? Like, I don't need a demo and a visual aid for
that. I understand that entirely. What is wrong with you? Yeah. Of course you need the demo
and the visual aid. These people are teaching public school. This is the highlight of this woman's
year. I'm going to be walking around with my giant bag of hydrogen and forget because I didn't get a visual aid that that explodes and then I'm going to put myself.
It could happen. But after class, the teacher pulls Zoe aside and she's like, Zoe, we're so
bad at writing that we need to expose it some more. You used to be a good student. Then your mom died.
Now you're a bad student. And so he's like, yeah,
well, I can't wait to get out of this town. And the teacher's like, I'm sorry, did you
actually say the line I can't wait to get out of this town? Was that a placeholder that
no one replaced? Then she's like, exit stage left. Batman voice.
Lauren Ibsim. Lauren Ibsim. So now we cut to her locker where Zoe has gotten a prom
puzzle from love interest.
We also get a scene where something in a field explodes.
Oh, right.
I'm going to explain this now because the movie fails to explain it.
So one thing that I should point out about this movie is that it is very much less an action movie than it is like an
Instruction manual for school shooters and hey, Dan Shapiro made the movie so I fucking get it
What this is supposed to be we'll see a bunch of stuff exploding randomly and never have it explained is the school shooter in order to
throw off the cops set off explosions in a band and fields around town
So that when the cops did try to get to the school, they would get slowed down by the explosions that the firemen were
at.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And we'll dig deeper into the calculus of this.
I think when we get to that point in the movie because it's it's a little hard to get passed
but you're right. There are these bucket bombs that they built and put around town. What I think
they were going for and any have any of you guys seen the the Showtime documentary series active shooter?
No, I'm not. It's very good. It's hard to watch but it's very good. It's basically, I don't want to call it the
palette cleanser after watching this movie because it's like the palette fire. Like, it's
the opposite of a palette cleanser, but what it will do is like remind you of the, not the
sanctity, but like the respect that is actually required of these kinds of horrific incidents. And what they do really well in active shooter is they really describe the victims,
they really describe the circumstances, and they also talk about how important it is
not to elevate the perpetrators.
Okay.
That we've done a real disservice in the news by saying their names, by giving them any
sort of infamy.
And they do a real deep dive on Columbine
and bust a lot of myths around Columbine.
There's so many crazy myths that came out after
and it's just really hard to undo the news stories
that were blatantly incorrect during the unfolding
of Columbine.
And I think what they were going for with this film
is something along the lines of like
what if the Columbine perpetrators had actually not been so inept?
Because they actually had a lot of these plans in place, but nothing worked.
And that's why I shouldn't say so few because a lot of people still die, but Columbine
could have been so much worse if they hadn't been so inept.
Yeah.
Well, if a show called Active Shooter can be the lemon sorbet to your movie of a
cleanse, that's a bad sign.
Yeah, and by the way, this movie will reinforce all the untrue beliefs about Active Shooter.
Yeah, exactly.
This might as well be called, man, wrong again, the movie.
So yeah, an English teacher reads an apropos quote about the movie.
I love this movie trope.
It's in every movie, not just Christian ones, but when we make God awful movies, the movie,
the English teacher is absolutely going to be reading something about what it's like to be in a Christian movie.
I just want to point out that this is a proof quote that comes right before the like,
man, I wish I could put her penis in my mouth.
I just sang.
right before the like, man, I wish I could put her penis in my mouth. I just sang.
Ben, I know you took it out of context, but this is right before a big section on how
delicious balls must take.
Oh, Jesus.
That's so true.
Also, can I, there was like a thing for me where I was really confused because on their
way to school, they watch, you know, a loner kid plant a bomb.
We know that now. It was a bucket bomb.
Yeah. And then they like keep driving a long way to school. They're out in the middle of nowhere
in the field. But then she's sitting in class and sees the smoke coming from the bucket bomb.
And it's like just around the corner. Yeah, they forgot. And I'm really confused about the
geography. And also the bucket bomb was very small, but the smoke was as if a tire factory was on fire. Yeah. And she just saw that and was like, that's nothing.
And she ignores the joy of the black swoon. Does tell anybody something might be wrong.
Yeah. She does. And speaking of bombs, now we cut to one of the other mass shooters,
who I very tastefully in my notes have called bitch tits, planting a bomb by loudly yelling, I'm not planting a bomb in the office.
I love that.
So this guy literally wants everybody to remember him.
I think he's like, nothing to see here.
Very cool.
Very cool.
That was the lot.
Hello, normal student.
Student, student, but you know, remember me, I'm holding two things now. One, don't. I'm just a student, but remember me,
I'm holding two things now one.
Don't worry about it by the big deal
that he leaves a bag in the office there.
That's like, yeah, the bomb or one of the bombs.
Why is the administrative assistant for the school?
At the, at the, the front desk of the office.
Yeah, the front desk lady.
Why is she so mean?
Well, to be fair, he does enter the room being like,
hello today, bomb, not bomb, goodbye today.
Sorry, did you say bomb, not bomb?
Is that what you said?
I love you.
Is it, so are we landed on it's not bomb?
And then I can ignore this?
Yes.
Please do.
And please ignore for the entire rest of the movie,
even once you're well aware that there's
an active shooter situation, don't worry about that dusty backpacks in flames.
Okay. I guess, I mean, if I see something, I should not say something. That's what you're telling me.
So that is this character's part.
Okay. Yeah.
We can speak to us. Go on about your day.
So we cut back to Zoe and she's being awkward around love interest because she doesn't want to go to prom because her mom is dead.
And the only reason I point this out is one, it's the reason she goes to the bathroom and
therefore it doesn't get shot in the initial mass shooting, which is coming right up everybody.
But also, there's this great moment where he's like, yeah, you know, I just don't want you to
shut down and she goes, you think I'm shut down? And I wanted him so badly to be like, no,
you're just a bad actor. You're not a good actor.
So you see the shutdown, train him.
She's like, what do you want me to do?
I'm working with a really shitty script.
I'm doing the best I can.
She carries the movie.
She had like the hardest role for sure because she goes from troubled youth
to like ash with his boom stick.
Like there's a real spark to her character.
Yeah, and you know she had to deal with fucking Ben Shapiro on the set or whoever his asshole
producers are doing that like coachy gross thing with her as this younger woman and them
as this creepy older man like standing behind her and like teaching her how to play pool for no reason.
It's not.
Yes.
I'm also just imagining this dear carcass being wheeled into every scene for no reason.
We're trying to pass it off as crafty staring at her.
You have medicine.
So she goes to the bathroom and some girl hides something in the ceiling and then Goths are way out of the bathroom
because yes, one of the school shooters
because they need to hit all the untrusteriotypes
is a Goth kid.
Oh yeah.
Also one of the school shooters is a girl
which is like never happened in the history of shootings.
Oh.
Like okay, I think I found a stat somewhere. Wait, have we ever had a school
shooter who's not a, you know, cis-hat white guy? I don't know about a school shooting, but I did
start to dig deep on this. And there's, okay, in the period between 1966 and 2012 of the 292
mass shooting. So that includes any shooting with four victims or more who died only one perpetrator
was female.
Okay.
And usually the female perpetrators from what I understand are either with men or their
lone perpetrators who are retaliating against something.
But yeah, it's very, very, very rare.
It's very, very rare in general for women to commit murder.
And most of the time women commit murder, it's either against an abusive partner or she's
killing her kids.
Which is crazy because I know so many women with great excuses to murder.
I know like two dudes who I'm like, yeah, you should probably murder someone.
But like nine tents of the women I know are like, oh, let me tell you
who I should murder. And I'm like, yeah, you fucking murder that guy.
Holy legit right there. Would you want someone to dig for you? I could dig.
And to be clear, yeah, they don't spoiler alert, which we will get back to.
There are two women murderers in this movie.
Yeah, that is true. But yeah, Goth girl hides something and Zoe goes up into the ceiling to check it out.
And I just wrote my notes.
It's, it's drugs, man.
Definitely.
Definitely something in the ceiling.
It's always drugs.
Yeah, for sure.
Also, there are four shooters.
Yes.
Let's be clear about this.
There are four.
They detail or they show four different shooters, which I'm not sure if that's ever happened
either.
No, of course not.
They, they just need to hit all four incorrect stereotypes about match shooters.
Yeah, it's like, it's usually just one person or a small group, like two people,
and there's usually one of the stronger kind of people and the other person who's the supporter.
And they're almost always cis white men with right leaning tendencies who are part
of either an in-sell group or an alt-right racist group.
Yeah, I don't know the stats, but I would imagine almost every single school shooter we've
ever had reads from the daily wire. Like I can't say that conclusively. I don't have
stats. They need to make up these four stereotypes
because an accurate depiction of school shooters
is their fucking audience.
They're subscribed.
Yes.
An accurate depiction is a bench appear.
Yeah.
Speaking of which, now it's time for the van to smash through the wall.
Yeah.
I kind of like that, see?
I don't see how this was necessary to smash a van through the wall.
Like they could have just walked in.
Why don't you like any of the fun scenes in this movie?
You don't want any of the explosions, any of the,
any of the cars crashing into the cafeteria.
I did enjoy one moment of this because the van
smashed just through the wall of the cafeteria.
And we watch everybody run out of the way
because they hear a van coming in.
So they scatter and then the van smashed through.
And then they cut to
the van stopped with a kid under the front tires just laying there.
I don't know.
So like a really smart survivor just like walked over and was like, I'll pretend I'm under
the tire.
I don't know.
Actually, that is smart.
Isn't it?
Well, one other thing I love about this is that they cut to Zoe during this like
first initial shooting and they're trying so hard to be pretty and dark, right? Oh, look,
it's we're gonna show a mass shooting. Look at us at the Daily Wire. We're so hardcore. Except
they're idiots. So Zoe doesn't hear the shooting because she's using a hand dryer.
Yes. Yep. And I gotta say, if this whole movie had just been a mass shooting taking place while
Zoe gets into more and more comedic accidents in the background, I kind of would have loved
it.
It was like, oh, no, I think green.
Yeah.
And this is the first of many situations where you're literally like, how did nobody
else hear that?
Yeah.
Like, I probably said that 40 times in this film.
Everybody in this school has noise cancelling headphones that are amazing.
And all tough.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Can we talk about the worst line in the movie that happens right here?
Ooh.
Please.
The absolute worst line.
It was so horrible.
So, big bad guy smashes the van through things, steps out of the van and says, trigger warning
because he's got a gun.
And he shots some people.
I have so many questions about this line.
Oh my God.
This is woke lefties.
They're pussies because it's they make their living by being like trigger warning.
Am I right?
But then they've got their school shooter saying it
in their movie.
So like, I feel like the computer that's inside Ben Shapiro's
head must have just fucking exploded when he wrote
this trigger warning's bad, but bad guy say,
trigger warning's bad, good, bad, bad, good, good, bad.
No, Eli, you're so right.
Like the whole time I'm watching this movie,
I'm wondering, is this ironic or unironic?
They don't know this.
He's going for it.
If I think it's both, I think it's actually both.
Like the amount of evil that went into writing that line
is staggering.
They're in the writer's room and somebody's probably like,
hey, you know what I'd say if I was doing a school shooting
and everybody was like trigger warning at the same time
and they wrote a movie around that amazing line
that they high-fived about and got really excited when they come up with her right there.
Yes.
Oh no, they're literally sitting around the writing table like masturbating under the table
while we're writing this.
No, I'm saying over the table.
Over, yeah, it's the grossest because and that's the thing I had to keep bringing myself
back to because the sad thing about this movie is once again, it's
actually relatively well produced.
And so as you're watching it, there are times when you get sucked in, there are times when
you're like on edge or there are times when you want to see what happens next, and then
you're like, oh, no, this is fucking school shooting porn.
This is a really gross masturbatory exposition of people who are enjoying this and think
it's entertainment and it's disgusting.
It's school shooting porn for an audience they know contains school shooters.
Right.
They are aware that their audience contains school shooters, which is why in our next
scene, it's time for the bad guy to bad guy monologue.
This will make up, I'm
going to roughly say nine hours of the movie. We'll be this.
Sound me minus actor who Heath and Cara think is ready for his next Oscar just. Oh no,
he's really good. He's really good. He's never gonna work again after.
Correct. He is really good. Yeah. This is Tristan. You're talking about Tristan, the main
bad guy, right? Tristan, yeah, the main bad guy. It's so mediocre.
Well, he's good.
He's, he, he, he hints the nail on the head of that stereotype, that caricature, to be clear
of the kind of charming, debonair, semi-attractive, yet narcissistic and absolutely psychopathic school
shooter. And in a way, it's like they did their homework
because the truth of the matter is
what we usually want to think
and what the media usually plays into
is that most school shooters
are these like troubled bullied kids.
And they go there.
That's also the subplot of all the other school shooters.
But the ringleader, Tristan,
is basically just a narcissist, and he wants power.
And that's kind of what happened in Columbine.
And he nails what the director was clearly telling him.
What Ben Shapiro or whoever the director is wanted him to do was be that character.
It's a horrible character.
It's evil, but he does it well.
He acts it well as he was directed to, I would say.
I agree.
Yeah.
I hated it so much.
Also, come on.
You got to admit, this first moment is hilarious, just objectively hilarious.
So he's like, all right, I'm going to give him a big speech.
And he sees a bully named Roy, like a football jock guy who would bully him.
And he's like, hey, Roy, you're bully.
You always bullied me.
Seems like the power dynamic is finally, and then Blam!
He gets, Roy gets shot in the face by one of the henchmen.
Oh yeah, the muscle, the muscle, the muscle, Chris.
And Tristan is so fucking mad.
He's like, Chris, what the fuck you do?
I was doing my power dynamics speech and you ruined it.
That's true.
Yeah, that's true.
Cause he's like, sorry, I'm an idiot who has this machine gun.
Yeah. Sorry, my mental illness will be the focus of my character. So I just random fire my gun. It's so bad. So they did, right? Like that was clear to everybody
that they're playing this kid up as the like, it's not a gun problem. It's a mental health
problem. Yeah. Like he's that talking point. Oh, he may as well set the gun down and
be like, see, the gun's not killing anybody.
It's me. Sorry, Ben Shapiro made me do this. B-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b kids performance too. How he like pooped in his hand and threw it at everyone every time he was on the screen.
I don't know what the acting barometer we're going for.
Okay.
Point is,
Listen, it's better than Gramps.
I don't know, my scale's fucked up.
It's okay.
We can reheal you.
We can heal you.
I don't think you can.
We can teach you what movies are again.
I like that you can reheal him.
If this has happened before.
It has though.
Yeah. So Zoe's climbing through the ceiling because they had to make an action
movie and they just stole all the beats from Dihar.
For sure they did. So at this point, there's a van that broke through in a wall and I'm
talking like a glass and brick wall of a school cafeteria.
There are multiple gunshots.
And I can't remember if anything has exploded.
It would have been amazing if the van just smashed to the wall and stopped.
And they were like, ah, you're right.
You're right. It's just bound stop.
Guys, guys, they're yelling through the glass.
Guys, just wait there. I'm going to do a speech in a second.
I'm going to walk around the side. Just give me a second. Nobody move.
Plenty, plenty. But yeah, so all of this has happened. guys just wait there. I'm going to do a speech in a second. I'm going to walk around the side. Just give me a second. Nobody move. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,
hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,
hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, Climb through the ceiling, but then wouldn't you know it? She falls through the roof of the cafeteria.
So Tristan, that's charming bad guy, sends henchmen.
That's crazy bad guy to check out the noise and kill it.
And I just have to say crazy guys performance in this scene.
It's like a heath sketch.
She's like, little, little, looking for you, trying to, trying to kill you now.
He narrates what he's doing.
It's so funny.
This is genuinely funny.
He's the hello lone wolf protagonist.
I imagine whose name hasn't been revealed yet.
Maybe Zoe.
Let me look on I&BB, hold on.
Yes, your name is Zoe.
I'm gonna name the stuff I see now.
He's walking through it.
He's like, there's a hole in the ceiling.
I don't know why you'd walk in here
and fuck up the ceiling, but I'm looking for you.
It was so funny.
And this is very dark.
At this point in the film, I'm going like,
why did they make this movie?
Jesus, this is dark.
Like this is gratuitous, it's masturbatory.
And it's like, I literally wrote,
you guys, I can't tell what's good and bad anymore.
This movie just feels sad to me. Like it's just really sad. Yeah, you guys, I can't tell what's good and bad anymore. This movie just feels sad to me.
Like, it's just really sad.
Yeah, it's what is this?
Well, and it's a good thing because they're now going to answer what the point of this
movie is because we're going to switch back to our bad guy, right?
We're going to see the cops having a hard time getting to the school or something.
Oh, cool.
And now the bad guy is going to spend an entire scene monologuing about how mass shooting
preventative measures don't work.
Yeah, you're right.
Right.
Because his four-man team of stereotypes that don't exist and don't happen in mass shootings
have managed to cut the phone lines to the school and that like run hide fight doesn't work.
I mean, this monologue could not more clearly be a message to mass shooters.
They could have included a blueprint of local high schools with the DVD to this thing.
Oh, yeah, I wrote, is this like the anarchist cookbook for school shooters?
Yeah.
That's what I wrote, right?
Yeah, and like, I don't even get kind get the point because he's literally talking about how exactly what
you said, all these preventive measures don't work, yet he's in a school that is lacking
all of those preventive measures.
There is no system, there's nothing.
And at this point, everybody would be on lockdown, but somehow nobody even knows this is happening.
Yeah, right.
It makes no sense.
But while he's monologuing, Zoe makes it out,
and she's about to run into the woods to safety
when she turns around and realizes
that she's got to get in there
and single-handedly take those school shooters down.
Yep, cool.
Just rises out of the chemistry sink like Rambo all of a sudden.
All right.
Well, it looks like we're set up for an absurd revenge fantasy.
But first, we're going to take a quick break.
And when we come back, I guess we'll find out which side of that fantasy Ben Shapiro
is on.
Run, hide fight.
Coming up next.
Psst.
Psst. Kara. Run hide fight, coming up next. Psst. Psst.
Psst, Kara.
Kara.
Oh, Jesus.
My eyes.
What are you guys doing in my room?
Who keeps pepper spray right by their bed?
That's nuts.
Thank you.
I do.
I do after you guys woke me up the other night.
Task me if Kegan Michael Key is nice in person.
That was an emergency.
Yes.
What do you want?
We're kind of hungry.
Yeah, and we're out of food at our place.
Man, that burns so much.
Go to the grocery store or a restaurant
or almost anywhere that is not my house.
Maybe you haven't heard, Karen,
but it's not safe to go places right now.
So, I don't know about that.
If it's not safe to go places,
why would it be safe to come to my house?
Just go to the grocery store.
Because you got a famous person vaccine.
Yeah. I heard you got to meet Tom Hanks.
Is he nice?
I work at a hospital.
What are you talking about?
General hospital.
My mom loves that show.
Good for you.
Yeah. Good for you.
Good for you.
Look guys, if you're looking to fill the fridge,
why don't you try Hello Fresh?
What said dad? Dad, dad, dad. I called dad. fridge, why don't you try Hello Fresh? What?
Dead dead, dead dead car, I call that dead car.
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know.
But you get like two more, two more, I get at least two more.
What's Hello Fresh?
The America's number one meal kit.
Hello Fresh cuts out stressful meal planning
and grocery store trips, and you can enjoy cooking
and get dinner on the table in like 30 minutes or less.
I don't know, Cara.
Meal box delivery?
We like a variety with our food.
Plus, I've got special diets that need to be accommodated.
I know you too.
Listen, HelloFresh offers 23 plus recipes each week featuring a range of flavors, cuisines
and ingredients.
You're never going to get bored.
And of course, they've got locale, carbs, smart vegetarian, pescatarian
options. They're going to suit your needs. So whatever you choose, every single recipe
is packed with fresh produce or directly from farmers. It's great.
That does sound great. It is good. Hello, fresh scent is a box to try. And not only was
the food delicious, but because all the ingredients come in their own bags, eat unpacked in seconds.
Also, Karen, do you have milk for my eyes?
French.
Okay.
Okay, Cara, so how do I try?
Hello, fresh.
Found the milk.
Just go to HelloFresh.com slash Gam 10
and use code GAM10 for 10 free meals,
including free shipping.
Ah, this is lemon juice.
Yeah, so just go to HelloFresh.com slash GAM10
and use code GAM10 for 10 free meals, including free shipping. That's right. Who has a carton
of lemon juice in their fridge? Tom Hanks does. He told me about it when I got my vaccine.
Wait, really? No. Oh, so burn. What's he like?
Up, up, up, up, up.
Hey guys, what are you doing?
Oh, we're playing razor ball. Yeah, razor ball.
That looks, I don't know, super dangerous, super dangerous.
Oh, it is.
Yeah, that's why we're responsible razor ball owners for safety.
You are?
Yeah, yeah, we took a weekend long course.
Well, this is four hours.
Right.
Yeah.
Of course.
And that seems like a really, really short course for a ball made out of literal
razors.
Here we go again, another anti-raiser ball person who knows nothing about razor balls.
Yeah, they're actually made out of plastic and covered in the metal razors.
It's not all metal.
So maybe learn something about razor balls before you criticize them, like learn something.
Like do you even know exactly how many razors are in slash around every kind of razor ball
ever?
It's probably doesn't.
No, I don't, but honestly, I don't need to memorize trivia to see that a razor ball is
a danger.
Yes, you do have to memorize trivia.
And besides, we're responsible about it.
When we're done playing with razor ball, we lock it in our razor ball safe.
Twice actually.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Twice plus, Kara, what if we get attacked by ninjas?
Then we'll need our razor ball.
Yeah.
Okay, so how are you going to get out your razor ball to fight ninjas, then we'll need our razor ball. Yeah. Okay, so how are you gonna get out your razor ball
to fight ninjas if it's gonna say twice?
We do the combination twice.
Yeah, twice.
We just do it.
We would just do it twice.
So the razor ball's easy and fast to just like
get out of the safe.
No, no.
So then explain to me, how is it going to help you fight the ninjas?
It just would, okay?
You want to get killed by an ninja?
You need it for fighting ninjas.
Look, guys, I know you like your hobby and deep down, you think you're going to use
it to fight ninjas, but you're not going to use it to fight ninjas, you're just going
to hurt yourself and probably other people too.
And if you actually care about the health and well-being of others more than your own weird hobby,
I think you should just give up the razor ball.
Hmm.
Still no.
Yeah, no.
Besides, if Heath gave up the razor ball, all he'd have left is incest porn.
No, you, that's not, no.
Yeah!
Oh my god, Eli, are you okay?
Ah, Completely unexpected.
Nothing to be done.
No idea why this happened.
Okay.
We're gonna get emails because of this sketch.
Yeah, but not from people who are right.
No, not from people who are right.
You guys are idiots.
Yes we are.
And we're back.
And now that Tristan and Chris finally finished up their wispy sidebar fight, it's time for
more of the big evil speech, which is mostly Fox News talking points snuck into a speech
from the mouth of a terrorist to be clear.
And I guess that tracks that kind of their thing.
How are they okay with this?
Like how is how's the irony? They're just like, yes, this is
it just hurts my brain to think about the fact that they're completely blissfully unaware.
It's really not clear which side of the fantasy they're on at any given moment.
Oh, I can't tell. Plenty fucking clear to me. Yeah, no, it's clear, but it's not
made clear to the audience.
It's like you ever see a little kid do something shitty and they don't know how to lie yet.
So you'll be like, Hey, did you rub chocolate milk all over your face?
Is that why you look like that?
And they're like, no, um, um, there was a shot.
What happened was that's how Ben Shapiro pretends not to be pro mass shooter in his fucking
movie. Right. But then he periodically just goes, I love Jack the Milk on my face.
I'm sorry, back to the lot.
You're like, whoa, what?
Exactly.
So this is where he's going to talk about how silly it is to have an unarmed security guard.
Well, that's the point of that, God, this is so Eli, I'm so glad you're here.
I'm always confused. Yeah, the unarmed security guard ends up being ineffective and then pisses
himself. Yeah, literally, peas his pants. I wrote that as a joke before it happened. I was like,
yeah, don't worry about the security guard. He's just going to peas pants and run away,
except the security guard literally peas his pants and runs away. Yeah.
Well, and I'm watching this with somebody and they're like, what is that supposed to be funny? way, except the security guard literally pees his pants and runs away. Yeah.
Well, and I'm watching this with somebody and they're like, what is that supposed to be
funny?
Of course, that's going to happen.
He's life is threatened.
Yeah.
Like, it's not uncommon for people to urinate uncontrollably when they think they're about
to die because they're so afraid.
Like, that's the thing.
They, they're playing it like what a pussy.
This got pissed as pants.
And it's like, yeah, you would two motherfucker.
And let's keep in mind that their counter here is like the same untrained security guard,
but with a fucking handgun would have been like, that's a right motherfucker.
Make my day.
Puckoo, puckoo, yeah.
But really he would have just pissed his pants and then shot himself in the foot.
You know, like that's what would have happened.
Well, if he's armed and he's somebody who carries a gun and wants to use it, like I would
imagine some security guards are, they'd be having a gun fight in a room full of kids
right now.
That's what will be happening.
Yeah, only bad things would have come from that as we all know.
Ben Shapiro wants you to go, oh, if only there were a gun fight going on in this room full
of children.
Yeah. And it's not like we don't have evidence, like actual scientific evidence where they're So if only there were a gun fight going on in this room full of children.
Yeah.
And it's not like we don't have evidence, like actual scientific evidence where there
have been school shooting simulated where some people had guns and some people didn't
like they use paintball guns or bean bag guns.
I don't remember.
And what always happens?
More people die.
The more people that are armed, the more people die.
Yes.
Huh.
In my favorite thing about this particular study, they did one where they armed the teachers
and teacher shot students 100% of the time.
Yeah.
Of course they did.
They're just like, okay, here's your bean bag gun.
PEP.
Okay, I handed that to you two seconds ago.
Mrs.
Who did think about your high school teacher?
Can you think of a person, any of them?
Can you think of any of a person in the world?
You would like less to have a gun than any of your high school.
And speaking of high school teachers, now we're going to cut back to another classroom
where a teacher is teaching about the alamo.
You know, that time when having a bunch of guns would have come and hand.
Yeah.
She's like, yeah, so we lost the alamo as everybody knows because, you know, those American
Texans couldn't get AR 15s with bump stocks at Walmart.
So that was problematic.
And this is, I'm going to say, the rock smash was pretty funny,
but this is the hardest I laughed in the movie.
The girls, right?
Zoe and Sassy Best Friend, they run up and they bang on the window
and they're like, there's a school shooter,
there's a school shooter and their teacher's like,
all very funny girls and closes the window shade
and the hero of the movie gives up.
Yeah, he's like, I don't know how she closed the shade.
And it's like, it's so crazy because they're like,
how about how about how about how about how about how about how about how about how I can't clearly express myself.
Oh my god, how about how about how about when all they had to do was go,
active shooter situation.
Like very clearly, everybody would have frozen.
But instead, they're like, how about how about how about this is fun.
I really want more action movies to do this, right?
Get to the chopper.
What?
Never buy.
Just like action heroes who instantly give up on people
when they don't listen to them.
Ah!
So yeah, and we should point out that Tristan
is making all of the students live stream him
while he bad guy monologues.
Right, which to me is not a bad plot point.
Right, that's what would happen, I think.
It makes sense.
It's something that probably would happen.
What I don't understand is why our love interest
keeps his hand up.
Like they say, how many of you have more than 50 viewers,
more than 100, more than 500,
and all the hands slowly go down,
and he keeps his hand up. Like, oh, I love to be the last person with my hand up facing a school shooter.
That's my goal in life.
Cara, you know how influencers are.
They always need to partner with big brands.
He's all opportunity.
He's all about brand synergy.
Cara, that is what's happening, though.
Because these characters, he's supposed to be the good guy.
Lewis.
And he's like, yeah,
he's named too.
Yeah.
Oh, he, I actually looked him up on IMDB right now.
I was watching.
This is how I found out his name was Lewis.
And he takes being the documentary into this very seriously throughout the rest of the
movie.
Well, he's very artsy.
Very, very good.
He gets some great shots of the killer, right?
So getting the scoop.
Now Zoe figures out to pull the fire alarm.
By the way, we're like 30 minutes into the movie
before Zoe's like, right, fire alarm,
that alarm for everyone leaving the building, right?
Wait, but two very important things happen
before she pulls the fire alarm.
One, they make a build a wall reference.
Yes, they do.
Oh, so stupid.
It's like, it's not that hard to build a wall. He says, oh my gosh. And then later,
he goes on his tirade about how they're not Nazis because of course Nazis love to talk about
how they're not actually Nazis. Part of their target audience is Nazis. So you can watch the people
who wrote this script walking the line of not offending the Nazis too much.
She's like, we're not Nazis. I mean, some of my best friends are Nazis. I don't know why I'm putting
this in my movie. Like, you've been to Pyro's mind. He's like, see, it works on like two levels,
like a Disney movie where like the parents think it's really funny, but also the kids don't quite get
the edgey, but like for Nazis and liberals. Like that's how you think these are making this movement.
And humans.
Yeah.
Also, when we get the build a wall line, again, it's obviously supposed to be a line about
the Trump wall, but we watch them then make a wall along the cafeteria window of cafeteria
tables on wheels with slats.
So it's like literally a completely ineffective wall
that we watch people look through later.
The cops see through it.
Isn't that exactly like Trump's wall?
Yeah.
You can see right through it.
Yeah.
It's not that hard to build an ineffectual wall
with the original line in the script.
Yeah.
So yeah, she pulls the fire alarm,
but wouldn't you know it?
God girl is going to disable the fire alarm with a wrench. Because I don't know if you know
this. There's a big box in the center of every building with a fire alarm. And if you
smack it hard enough with an object, all of the alarms in the building turn off.
Yeah. And also wouldn't a school that rich be fitted with like sprinklers?
You think for sure. Maybe a backup system, maybe not a button that says don't press this please.
Yeah. Overwrite a lot in case of school.
And like, wouldn't a school with that much money have the automatic lockdown things? I've
seen this in a lot of schools where all the doors close and lock from the inside.
Yes.
Yes, but if they actually address any of the things
that they use to stop school shootings,
the rest of this movie would just be Tristan being like,
oh, because they locked us out.
Fuck.
I guess I'm going to prison now.
Open it, please.
No.
Ah.
My favorite part here is that
Goth Girl is disabling the alarm in like some sort of janitorial
closet and then a janitor pops up out of nowhere and I'm pretty sure it's John Voight.
Like, I couldn't find his credit and I have TV but I want you guys to rewatch this and tell
me that's not John Voight.
Oh, no, he's a piece of shit Republicans who I know. Who wouldn't surprise me if he was on-
I think he made a weird cameo.
And pure.
But they put him in like a fat suit
so you can't quite tell, but it is, it's so John Boy.
John Boy could just be fat right now.
We don't know.
Oh, that too.
Yeah, could be.
His daughter won't talk to him.
Why would she?
Jesus.
So we cut over to the sheriff.
He's held up by fire engines existing. So at this point, I'm trying to explain to myself
why there are all these cars parked on the street.
And I'm looking back to the evidence that you see
in active shooter situations where there's usually
a perimeter around the school.
And then all the parents who are really scared
are starting to drive to the school.
So they have to keep them behind the perimeter.
And in my mind, I'm like, oh, yeah, that's what we're seeing.
And then I quickly realized, no, there are literally
50 cars clogging the road, but not really
because you could clearly drive right between that.
You absolutely can't.
Because there was a shed fire.
Because the the active shooter put a bucket bomb
in a tiny shed and it exploded right next to the road
could have put it out in 10 minutes.
Yeah. And the entire FBI of the entire region
of the country is there, minutes later.
It's the dumbest that this is the part I couldn't get past,
that this was his, hey, look over there
at that shiny thing moment.
Yep.
It's so painful.
And I just don't get like the sheriff started
really slow.
He's on the phone and she keeps stopping.
I guess to like Eve's drop.
So it's like it's a woman driving the car
and then the main sheriff is sitting in the passenger seat
on the phone arguing with somebody.
And she keeps stopping.
Like how would you just drive there anyway
and we'll work this out.
You don't need to be so like wait.
Active shooter, non-active shooter.
Pizza, donuts. Could be hot. It just maybe not hot. It just let's sit here and figure that out. I'm not active shooter. Pete said, I don't know.
Could be hot.
Just maybe not.
Just let's sit here and figure that out until we drive to the school.
We just watch your make a bunch of K turns.
Okay.
It's back to the fire.
Now we're back to the fire with Chad.
We're there are no big.
Right.
But yeah, they do eventually get there.
One of the bombs has gone off.
And the only reason I mentioned that is that as they pull up, another cop is just casually
walking around in a circle literally on fire.
Yes, this does happen.
He does not stop drop and roll.
Just like they don't run high fight in this film.
Maybe he was trying to run high fight the fire.
Wait, is it stop drop and fight?
I should have dropped him on top of those killers.
That makes sense.
But, yeah, Zoe got caught up in the bomb too.
So we cut over to her.
She wakes up coughing from bombs like you do when you're in action moving hero.
Yeah.
Whenever, when a round you stand, but somehow you keep surviving.
Yeah.
So she takes the cups pepper spray and handcuffs. She has a little pep talk with
dead mom for a second where her mom's like, yeah, you know, this is, this is pretty bad.
And she's like, yeah, no, I know it is, mom. I know it is. And she's like, okay, well,
you're going to go fight that goth girl in a second. She's like, yeah, a couple of scenes.
I'll go fight that goth girl. Okay. that even happens mom is literally like you know dying's not that bad
but breastfeeding you yes that was painful that was confusing it was really it was just like mom
what you're like the expert on dead people like what is happening we wrote this oh yeah
she gets a little sassy with them meanwhile Meanwhile, back in the school cafeteria, active shooter is bringing up the problem of evil because Christian movie.
Oh, yeah.
And don't worry, Ben Shapiro's got a great answer. The reason why God lets school shootings
happen is so that he can send people to hell.
Yep.
Oh, it's like heaven's gate tells.
Three will is the answer here. Yeah.
That's all coming back. The terrorist is literally like, hey, so problem of gates. Elspan. Free will is the answer here. Yeah.
That's all coming back.
The terrorist is literally like, hey, so problem of evil.
This is tricky for all your Christians, right?
And one girl's like, no, free will.
God lets you do this school shooting right now so he can judge you at some point.
Oh, and she's like, again, unbelievably calm.
Yeah. She's like, let's have a debate
school shooter. I know you're armed, but I'd love to maybe push back on that statement.
Oh, okay. Two minutes for rebuttal for you. At any point, I thought there was going to
be a subtitle just like girl destroys school shooter with facts and logic. But the movie
doesn't realize that the terrorist is making great points about
this here. The terrorist is like, good, and I just get judged and not kill all of you.
No. Okay, moving on. I'm a terrorist. I made a really good point about that just now.
Yeah. Yeah. Then there's a really gross like rapeseen with the Spanish teacher where he
makes her take her top off. And again, it's just school shooter fantasy. It was a nice reminder that I hate this movie and everyone associated with it, like there's
no saving them, but don't worry, just as I was about to get bummed by that, so he's
going to fight golf girl in a room full of blues.
And she does this weird, like a leopard attack, like, like, where did she come from?
The sky is. Did you guys notice that?
There's so much. Again, there's a really gross scene with a Spanish teacher that I don't
want to dwell on because there's no jokes to make about it.
No, it's just school shooter porn and basically probably what it did to be honest is like
Spark a bunch of forechan channels where people are jerking off to this movie and plotting
their own copycat version. That's exactly what scares me.
It's gross.
And just as I was like, eh, like, I don't even want to do this movie, Goth Girl is hunting
her in a room full of balloons.
And Goth Girl literally tries to shoot each individual balloon.
She's like, PAP.
Okay, not in that balloon.
PAP, not in that balloon.
Okay, yeah.
Zoe jumps on her from the ceiling, they do gun struggles.
And then so he, okay, so again, this is the idiots that made this movie.
We've all seen the moment in a movie where it's struggle, struggle, gun goes off.
Bad guy falls down dead.
But these people are idiots.
So it's not just gun goes off.
She like slowly points the gun at gath girl's head,
and then slowly puts the gun into gath girl's mouth
and then pulls back the trigger and then loads the gun
and then cleans the gun and then she shoots gath girl with it.
Well, and it's so weird too,
because I'm pretty sure, you guys correct me if I'm wrong.
Gath girl's the one holding the gun.
So we is doing that thing where she has her hands on the barrel and turns it's a hand
gun though.
So the short barrel and turns it towards Goth girl.
Somehow she gets Goth girl to pull the trigger.
Don't know how that happens.
Second, wouldn't Zoe's hands be blown up a little bit?
I don't know.
I assume the people who wrote this movie are gun nuts.
I am not a gun nut, but I'm pretty sure you can't hold your hand over the barrel of
a gun while you shoot it.
Yeah, you can't put your finger in the end of a gun and it goes backwards like bugs,
fucking bunny.
I'm sure you have a horrific and injury from that. But okay, we'll just put that aside.
Yeah, she kills Goth Girl and hey, now that we've lost goth girl,
I'd like to take a moment for a PSA to our audience.
Hey audience, if you've ever watched a movie
about school shooters, you've seen a goth girl
who's a part of it.
In real life, goth girls don't do school shootings.
They have bad bands and write even worse poetry.
Thanks for not murdering people goth girls.
We believe in you.
So Zoe is going through goth girl stuff now that she's killed her.
And the only reason I point this out is this entire scene while Zoe's like, gearin up and
ready to do the thing is all the like, they don't let cops do illegal stuff to stop school
shootings.
So it's literally just sheriff grumble, standing out there being like, what do you mean we
need all warrant to go into his house? What do you mean I'm not allowed to just walk into
the school and shoot people? What do you mean I'm not allowed the school shooter's phone
number based on my whim and belief that he's the school shooter?
Yeah, that would that would be a hippo violation. I'm just going to stand here and do nothing.
I'm my hands are tied. My hands are tied by the liberal cucks who write the law.
Yeah. Also, did you guys notice that when Zoe is rifling through the goth girl's
stuff? She finds this big thing of hand sanitizer and it's like very cooked. This joke just
doesn't land in 2021. They must have filmed this before the pandemic. I couldn't tell if
they filmed it before the pandemic or if it was like a fucking liberals in their hands.
And I'm done. Oh my god. Into the mind of Ben Shapiro from once we may never return.
And now I understand the whole point of why because I was so confused, I was like for a publication
that thinks that blue lives matter. They really do make the cops have to be fucking the food.
But it's because they're, oh, it's because they're like being all judgy
about regulation and habeas corpus.
Yeah.
No, that's the real enemy of this movie is the law.
The hate exactly do process
and the control small towns have over cops.
But what's really weird is that those are libertarian laws. I mean, they're
liberal laws in the sense that they promote life liberty and the pursuit of happiness, but
this is something that both political parties agree on is that we don't want, you know, illegal
search and seizure. But for some reason, the people who wrote this movie feel like it's only okay to not want
search and seizure if it's for like, you know, them.
But for anyone.
Exactly.
Yeah.
They're supposed to be shooting Black Lives Matter.
I don't know why they're shooting at us.
Exactly.
We also cut back to the cafeteria here for a second.
Ed Tristan is giving his speech and he gets interrupted by Lewis who's like,
hey, I turned on the Q&A function on my Facebook live.
And-
Oh, wait, they're not in the cafeteria.
This is when Tristan's like being really rapy with that woman.
Yeah.
That's why he did that.
It's because he's like-
Oh, right, they're in the Spanish room.
Yeah, he's like, she's topless at this point because he's made her be topless on
a live stream.
It's so gross.
And so Lewis is like, hey, people are commenting to like distract him.
Right.
Okay.
Lewis was trying to distract him, which sort of worked.
But then Tristan is like, yeah, actually, no, no, that's a good idea.
So let's do a Q&A.
Yeah.
He does.
Yeah, I'm a narcissist.
Let's do it.
He takes a question. And the question was,
how did you get the idea for a school shooting, Tristan? We're curious. And because he's this like
ridiculously written like evil version of Aaron Sorkin dialogue character, he's like, well,
really the idea got me because I'm interesting and edgy.
Well, and keep in mind why they put this in the movie, right?
Hey, how'd you get this idea?
The answer to that for all mass shooters
when you don't include gang violence,
which is what the FBI has done
to make it seem like white people and black people
should the same amount of people is,
oh, it's because I am a disaffected white man
between the ages of 16 and 45. I just
had a recent loss in my family. I suffer from depression and I pay too much attention
to right wing media. So what they have the character say is, these things just happen.
What can I say?
Couldn't point to one reason they're so many Not Ben Shapiro. I'll tell you that.
Not Ben Shapiro.
Truth society.
Yada, yada, yada, bright.
No, I'm not going to say bright, bright.
Just yada, yada, yada, I'm a terrorist now.
Nothing in between.
It's not because I think that, you know,
it's not because I'm an in-sell and think that women
are property and omen, sex sex and I never get laid.
So because of that, I'm gonna take my frustration out
on all of the, what do they call them chads and stasis and chats?
Yes, yes, yes, yes, it's not because of that.
Yep.
But that's also not why he slid his mom's throat.
Right, oh yeah, we learn that he slid his mom's throat.
Tristan killed his mom.
We also learn that here, great.
Which is, you know, also kind of standard mom's throat. Tristan killed his mom. We also learned that here. Great.
Which is, you know, also kind of standard.
Like, at least they did some homework.
They just got confused as they were.
Oh, is that standard?
Like in re-
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's pretty standard.
Great.
The only accurate part of the movie.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, we've got a young member of the Capitol Riot team
doing a Q&A about his mass shooting
and answering the questions like a Zen poet explaining a colon.
That's fun.
And by rule, that means we get another break.
That's official.
But first, let me give back three of the hard sell.
What's the sound of one hand domestic terrorizing?
Would 43 senators vote to acquit Tristan?
Shit.
Ben Shapiro's wife told him a wet vagina is a disease.
That's not a question.
But we're just going to say that here again.
Well, find out the answer to those first two questions and more when we return for the
totally unexpected fight part of run-ide fight.
Are you sure this is going to work?
Hey, who's the scientist here?
Yeah, okay.
Hey, Cara, hey Eli.
Uh, okay.
What's with the outfit?
And Cara, what's with the firearm?
What's going on?
Oh, this?
No, no, no.
This is a beanbag gun.
I got it from a police auction.
Cool.
Cool.
Still, same question though.
I feel like it's still out there.
Oh.
Eli's dealing with some muscle tension. I sure am. Yeah, so question though, I feel like it's still out there. He lies dealing with some muscle tension.
I sure am.
Yeah, so I figured, hey, why don't we cover you in pillows and I can shoot you with a beanbag gun?
It'll be just like a massage, but I don't have to touch you.
Will it?
I mean, that's what I told them.
Okay, why don't you just use a Theragon?
What's a Theragon?
Theragon is the handheld percussive therapy device that releases your deepest muscle
tension using a calibrated combo of depth, speed, and power.
And it's quiet as an electric toothbrush.
Really?
Mm-hmm.
Hey, that actually sounds a lot safer than this.
So if we want to-
You like sciatist.
Right.
Right.
Yeah.
And the Gen 4 Therun doesn't just feel good. It gets to the source of the pain by releasing tension using TheraGun's signature percussive therapy, which goes
60% deeper than vibration alone. Whether you want to treat your muscle tension from working out an injury or just the stresses of everyday life, there's no substitute for the TheraGun Gen 4. Plus, the OLED screen and design make you feel like you're holding something from the future.
So just go to their site and check it out.
And the Theragon app learns from your behaviors and suggests guided routines.
That sounds awesome.
Right?
It is.
Theragon actually sent us a Theragon to try and it was so good that me and Noah's wife
stole ours.
You like keep the pillow over your face.
Right, sorry, sorry.
Okay, but that's gotta be super expensive, right?
Not at all.
Try Theragon for 30 days,
starting at only $199.

Absolutely not.
You ready?
Yes.
Get.
Get.
Oof.
Right in the junk.
That's rough.
Yeah, that's where I was aiming.
Yeah, good work.
And now back to run-hide fight.
In a world with reasonable gun control measures in place.
Everybody down on the ground.
Dude, is that a bow and arrow?
That's right.
Now everyone get your phones out because I have a whole thing.
Ow, who threw that?
Okay.
Well, as soon as I get this, stop, I'm doing a murder, stop it.
You know what?
I'm just gonna write a sad poem in my room.
I'll show you guys.
Okay, okay, that last one was funny.
And we're back.
And we're gonna start with Zoey's dad, Thomas Jane,
gutting a deer in his garage. Oh, I love this part because they he hung the deer upside down.
I've never in my life seen someone bleed or gut a deer hanging from its
antlers like you hang them from their feet. Yeah, because you bleed them out of their neck. Yeah, of course
Well, he wanted a shot for his Tinder profile of him standing next to adorable deer standing up normal. It looks weird too. It looks all skinny and weird because
it's hanging. Yeah, the deer is standing there and it looks like he's measuring it at the
tailors. It's really weird. It's really weird. I don't get it, but I am glad that Thomas Jane
that we haven't seen him again until now. That's been good for me.
So the cops are all sown up for their SWAT team thing. The bad guy is very excited that
he's trending on Twitter. And because he's trending or because the news is picked it up,
well, Zoe's dad finds out. So he heads under his bed to get his gun.
Right.
Oh, yeah.
But before he does, we get a really clean scene
of muscle, right?
The kid who's clearly mentally ill.
Oh, yeah.
He's having a psychotic episode.
So I think this is the back to that classic right wing talking
point.
It's not the gun.
It's a mental illness.
We don't do enough for mental illness, although we're not going to fund any thing to help
people with mental illness, but they literally make him like private pile from full metal
jacket. Oh, they do all the tropes within. He has a psychotic break, right? Like a schizophrenic
break, which by the way, very few mesh shooters actually have schizophrenia, your voices, that
kind of stuff. Yeah. Yeah. Then he's gay, right?
He's queer-coded because he goes into kiss Tristan.
Right, but Tristan must be too because he's like not now, honey.
Right.
Well, he's fucking him and the sister, right?
They're, they're polyamorous queer kids, you know?
Oh, right, because that's totally what mass shooters are.
It's like a typical school shooter, yep.
I mean, look, if you know violence, you know that polyamorous queer couples
are just the most violent people
if you're ever gonna meet.
Look, if you want to make a movie
about horrifying board game nights,
then yes, a polyamorous queer couple
doesn't need to be your villain.
Oh, so to be clear, and maybe again,
you guys can help me break this down.
I thought they were trying to say,
look how woke we are. We know what it means like we know what poly people are like but what they're really
trying to say is like homosexuality is the root of evil. Yeah school should be hard.
Like if we could just get a little more conversion therapy it's a free speech issue. We wouldn't
have so many school shootings that's basically what the movie's saying here. But they don't link it
to the violence they actually show them being really kind of sweet to
each other for a moment. And then all of a sudden they just go back to being violent.
Well, and that's the thing, right? It's like look at gayness, right? Let's let's depit
sweet gayness and then correlate it with violence, right? It's like the myth about the
Columbine shooters holding hands in the hallways. Right. Yeah, so they really do go back to call and it's weird because they go back to the myth
and the reality of Columbine like indiscriminately.
Yep.
Absolutely.
Okay.
Got it.
So yeah, Chris has done hitting his, you know, stereotype bingo card.
So now dad goes under his bed to get his gun because the only poisonous message that they
hadn't sent yet was your kid
is dead and it's your fault personally.
So that's going to take these shooters out of himself.
And Zoe's just wandering around doing stupid shit still.
This I remember, I don't remember what I'm, I'm referencing here, but I wrote, the lead
is very stupid and she should definitely be dead by now.
Yes, so this is where she's gonna confront bitch hits,
which will be the bullying lie of the movie.
So in order to get this, I don't like how you're calling.
You call me that all the time. You call me that in our chats.
You change the chats. So that's my name. Go ahead.
Oh, right. So it's like loving and that is.
Yeah. Yeah.
It's a special name that I have for the people I care about. That's my, go ahead. Oh, right. So it's like loving and at least, yeah. Yeah.
It's a, it's a special name that I have for the people I care about.
And I care about this character in the movie.
And you care about this terrorist.
I do.
I care about this terrorist.
But they're playing hide and shoot, right?
He's got a shotgun and he's shooting her.
At one point, she literally hides behind a locker door and it works.
I know.
Yeah.
It was like that would not do anything.
She might as well throw her shadow in his eyes just like, oh, no.
So she's holding up a piece of foil.
And can I get out to show you how silly this is?
She sprays him with a fire extinguisher.
I wrote my notes because a cream pie was taken. She explodes a bag of hydrogen and bounces the bullet back in his face.
Yeah. So now she's tied up school shooter, right? And she's hand tough to him using the
hand counter. Right. Yeah. In the theater, they're going to have a chat in a second, but
first, she has to have a pep talk with mom. Now, I teased you before I was going to explain
why mom is in so many different outfits
for this movie.
This is where we get that explanation.
So I wrote this mom device is completely unnecessary, but you're about to tell me why it's necessary.
Yeah, here's why.
Every time Zoe kills a mass shooter, she lets go of her mom's death. And the more she lets go of her mom, the more a live mom gets to be in the afterlife.
Wait, wait, wait.
So there, okay, so I work as a psychotherapist and I help people process grief.
Are they telling me that what I should be prescribing to my patients is to go out and
murder people?
Yep, they need to murder people.
That is what she said.
It's time she kills.
And this is where mom explains it.
She's like, you're holding me back, honey.
And she's like, I'm not holding you back.
And she's like, I am.
Every time you let go, I get stronger and better.
Oh, it's true, because she starts her hair comes back.
Her hair comes back.
Oh my God.
Because she killed the golf girl.
Why? Yep. That's why she took off her cancer comes back. Oh my gosh. Because she killed the golf girl. Why?
Yup.
That's why she took off her cancer hat ears
because each death makes her cancer a little bit smaller.
Makes her post afterlife cancer.
Her husband cancer.
Yup.
Shrinks.
Baffling.
What?
Killing kids is heaven chemotherapy.
So basically, at the beginning of the film, when Thomas Jane is like, honey, I think we need
to go back to therapy.
She's like, no worries, dad, no therapy needed.
I'm just going to go and vigilante, kill a bunch of school shooters and I'll be better
than.
Yes.
And this movie is like, and she wants.
Absolutely.
But again, to this movie's credit because it can't help but make fun of
itself, she's in the middle of this completely insane conversation with her dead mom and
bitch hits, right? Wakes up and he's like, oh, so stupid. I hate this movie. He's like,
what's there? You hear voices too. And she's like, no, my voices are a traumatic device.
Your co-conspirators voices are an ugly portrait
of mental illness, which is also a device.
Which is also a device.
And this is where it's time for this kid
to try to earn his Oscar because he's a mass shooter
because he was bullied.
And fun fact, mess shooters aren't bullied.
In fact, overwhelmingly, they are bullies.
Yeah.
And they're Ben Shapiro fans.
Well, this is why I like Tristan,
because Tristan is like a quintessential mess shooter.
And according to Ben Shapiro's fans, bullying is free speech.
So they don't know what side of the argument they're out here.
Right.
And also this kid describes, and don't get me wrong, it's a traumatic experience.
So I don't want to belittle it.
Like he's talking about getting panced by kids on the playground in sixth grade.
And like it's really sad, right?
And I think that in the therapeutic space, talking about these early childhood experiences
of embarrassment and shame and trauma is really important for growth and healing. But the idea
that he got panced, and that's why now he wants to murder everybody at the school, is so
disgusting. Like, it's so just inhuman that they thought that that would be a realistic or legitimate
plot point.
If embarrassment during middle school caused mass shootings, I would have killed so many
by them.
Exactly.
And to be very clear, statistically, it does not.
The instances where kids are bullied and then mass shoot is close to zero.
Now there are instances where kids are bullied constantly and they
come in and kill their abusers. That's not a mass shooting.
But more often they're bullied and then they kill themselves.
Right. What happens more often is they kill themselves. And the reason why this trope is in
this movie is one, we don't want to talk about mental illness, and depression, and society,
and bench and bureau sure doesn't. But because it reinforces the trope of losers are dangerous, right?
Right.
It reinforces the trope of the people who are bullied deserve it because this character
who then murders people randomly because he was bullied is a bad character.
It's robbing us of our empathy for the victims of bullying who again, do not enact violence
on their abusers the vast, vast majority of the time, right?
This is the fantasy of an abuser justifying their abuse.
Absolutely.
I mean, it goes down to these larger society ills of the people who are the weakest among
us and the people who are the most kind of disenfranchised want it to be that way.
It's because they are weak in their constitution
and don't worry about the fact that they're disenfranchised
because they're criminals anyway.
Right.
It's disgusting.
But those of us who are in power,
those of us like white men who have,
hold a moral position in society
because we contribute to our capitalist values because we contribute to, you know, our capitalist values because
we contribute to making sure that we're giving jobs to people, making sure that we're kind
of running the show.
It's okay if we abuse that power a little bit because we're actually just taking it out
on people who deserve it anyway.
Right.
Exactly.
It's setting up victims to be deserving.
Because again, this movie is written by society's bullies for society's bullies.
But that's okay. Zoe's going to change him into a good guy by pointing out that,
hey, a girl who didn't bully you died.
And he's going to be like, oh my gosh, I'm a good guy now. So he's redeemed. I don't know.
Meanwhile, we're watching the bad guy monologues some more on Facebook. He's telling us that it's not
video games fault. I wrote my notes. Gamers rise up. Thank you, Ben Shapiro. Yeah. It's not because I like
Fortnite. It's about ethics and gaming journalism.
Is why I'm doing this.
Yeah.
I hate this movie.
Oh, it's so bad.
It's also really long.
At this point, I paused it and I was like,
oh my god, we're only halfway through.
Yep.
Oh, god.
Is this the half-row movie?
I'm pretty sure it is.
I think that's why I wrote this movie is very long.
Oh. This is where Tristan gets the cops on the phone and they banter in stereotype ease.
And I don't know, Heath and Cara, maybe you can tell me how masterful this performance
was, but it was so poor.
He goes, I'm an agent of chaos.
Shit, that's an exact Batman quote.
I'm an agent of change.
I do love that I wrote right here.
The truth is, it is not a terrible actor.
I legit buy him.
Oh, I do.
Oh, I'm too bad.
Narcissistic sociopath.
He's clearly not bullied.
He's the bully.
It's too bad he has a terrible agent and will never work again.
Okay, but he can be on a podcast.
Does he call himself a midwife of truth here?
Oh, so
Right the script
Can't play a good actor delivering that ridiculous fucking line and he pulls it off and I still buy it
I still buy it because he's that good Eli
Oh, hashtag Tristan gay. This is like the ultimate test. This is how you should
have to get into like Rada is by acting a Ben Shapiro script successfully. So by the way
you guys. So I'm watching this and I have I'm my partners in town and he lives in Scotland
and we're watching this together and he's really confused because not only is hunting culture
completely different
in Scotland, people don't have handguns really in Scotland. Schools confuse him. He goes,
he literally said, why does the school logo, like it was on the wall of the cafeteria?
He goes, why does that school logo look like a sports team logo? And I was like, that's
a school logo. It looks like it. He was like, what? And I googled all my old school logos.
And he was so confused because in Scotland, all the school logos are like crests. Yeah, so he's like
He was like, why does this look like the NBA? But anyway, the main thing that he asked is
Why are new stations actually lives like showing this live stream that would never happen home?
And I was like, no, I think it might happen here. Oh, are you kidding? Yeah. Here, there'd be a congressional hearing on the right of
Periscope to show the shooting. Exactly. Is it allowed? Can you two monetize the particular
kills that they allowed to do super chats? It wasn't happening in Australia, but pretty
much the rest of the world. But he was literally asking, he was like, I don't get it. Like,
that would never fly. That would never be legal for mainstream news outlets
to like show a live stream of an active situation.
And I was like, have you ever seen the news here in LA?
Like the entire news is funded by car chases.
Like it's the only thing people watch on the news in LA.
We love car chases.
Absolutely.
And anything horrible could happen at any moment.
I think the only thing they rely on is like an eight second delay.
Mm-hmm.
But they're on all the time here.
And like, you know, I do see that there would be some sort
of a periscope thing like you said.
But honestly, I think Twitter, maybe not Twitter.
At this point, Facebook would probably shut it down.
Don't you think?
The livestream?
Oh, well, that hasn't certainly hasn't been the case
the last couple of mass shootings,
although, you know, they shut down one particular stream.
And then, of course, it gets copied by Nazis who then show it.
Yeah.
They'd shut it down five years afterwards like they did with Donald Trump.
Yeah.
Just about right in time.
Right.
And by the way, keep in mind, they can shut them down.
They choose not to, right?
You can digitally code stuff so that it shuts it down. They choose not to, right? You can digitally code stuff so that it shuts it down. It's why, for instance, you can't put a Disney song on Facebook, no matter how many streets
they're very good at shutting down. Yeah. Shooting's not so much. Yeah.
So yeah, Thomas James sneaks around a little bit. He gets his gun. He's trying to snipe the kids,
but they're blocked by the Trump wall that they built against the windows.
He's trying to snipe the kids, but they're blocked by the Trump wall that they built against the windows.
But this is where Tristan finds out about Zoe and they really do the die hard thing. He does the like get down here to Ariel. So I'm gonna kill a kid every five minutes.
Oh yeah, you're right. Yeah, and he says, all right, I'm gonna kill somebody every five minutes
if you don't come down to the cafeteria
and then he shoots somebody immediately and so he's like, oh, well, you're gonna start at zero, I guess.
That's just a weird system. I figured it would be like I would get it either. All right, all right.
I'm just gonna give a speech to this to this kid in the theater and then I'll catch you at like four and a half minutes probably
Yeah, right. She just like doodles.
She does.
She does.
She, we watch her limp down the hallway and we're like, oh, she's going to turn herself
in.
But instead she stops the theater, unlocks the, the kid, right?
They bullied kid gives him a you fucking suck in your fat pep talk.
I'm not making that up by the way.
She's like your fat.
She calls it that.
Yeah.
It's supposed to be a big speech to turn into a good guy.
And she's like, you're a fat kid.
Yeah.
Is that helpful?
And then she hands him a gun.
She rearms him.
Yes.
She gives him a gun.
If he shoots her there, credits, I'm going to love this movie.
No, it makes no sense what the fuck is wrong with her.
And also, this is the point in the movie where she's full on Ash with the Boomsdegh
because what we never, we never mentioned before
is that she got shot in a leg at some point.
And she like, turn a kid in her leg with a belt.
So that's why she's like hobbling around
but she looks like a total badass.
She has like a ray from Star Wars, like a...
Yeah.
What's her name?
Tank Girl. Tank Girl or John Void's daughter?
Ashley and Jolie.
What movie is she in where she looks like a total badass like this?
All of them.
All of them exactly.
Except for the tour.
Lara Croft, two men.
Yes, she's Lara Croft.
There were two of those movies.
They're great.
Yeah.
Gone in 60 seconds, stealing for our eyes.
Anyways, she does have a movie. Mr. and Mrs. Smith, you met Mr. and Mrs. Smith. It's that amazing. Yeah. Gone in 60 seconds, stealing frahries. Anyways, she does have to leave.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith, you met Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
It's that amazing movie with her.
She turns herself into the cafeteria and she has some banter with the villain.
The best part is right.
They've getting, she walks in.
He's like, what up green jacket girl?
Green jacket, she wears.
And he looks like, dammit, that's what I was calling.
It looks like Woody Allen, right?
Like, like Annie Hall, remember, you guys are too young, whatever.
Wait, yeah.
I'm a 55 year old high school student.
By the way, yes, why is everybody 30?
All the lead roles are in their mid 30s.
Oh, absolutely.
The background actors are all actual underageage kids. So it's really clear
that the lead actors are super old. So she asked him why he's doing this. And again, he can't say
because I was radicalized by right wing media. So he says, I like being definitive.
I don't remember any of this dialogue. You're so good. Why would you? Why would you?
It's Ben Shapiro trying to get out of the ticket of his legacy while a cop analyserches
him.
He's like, no, maybe they just like being definitive.
So but just as he's about to shoot her because she's the good guy and she's been stopping
his plans, wouldn't you know it?
But bullied kids shows up to save the day. And then immediately gets killed by mentally old guy. Well, does
he save the day? He has no plan here. It makes no sense. He walks in. He's got a gun. So
that's I guess good step one, but he just walks into the cafeteria where two bad guys, at least maybe
three also have guns and he's like, put your guns down. And they're all like, no, we also
have guns. You do that too. And also we have a bomb. And then he's just like, yeah, okay,
right. No, I didn't think this through this. We're at an impasse. What actually happened
here? I completely forgot. And I watched this movie by the way,
about 16 hours ago.
What happens is, new good guy just fires a shotgun
into a crowd of kids and runs away.
Yup.
And then gets shot instantly.
And so he's like, well, you got to craft some eggs.
Yeah, what are you doing?
Like she gave him that gun batch and then you got to craft some eggs. Yeah, what are you doing? What are you doing? Like, she gave him that gun batch
and then you probably killed somebody on accident.
Yeah.
Or on purpose, we don't even know.
Yeah.
Vax, don't care about your feelings.
Bye.
Like, what the fuck is happening?
He gets killed, but that gives Zoe time to run away.
Wait, did we leave something out?
Didn't, did somehow love interest get hurt at some point?
Yeah, he got shot during that hail of shotgun fire from the hero, new hero character.
Yeah.
I was really confused because they're running down the hall and then he like collapses
and it's like they've only got 10 feet and he literally looks like he's out of breath
and that's why he collapsed.
Yes. I wrote my notes. Oh, okay, he got shot.
I thought he just got winded like me and Heath trying to jog with C-Sol.
That's what it looks like.
None of us know he was shot.
There's no visible blood.
He just looks like he's like, oh God, oh God, I haven't a cardio in a while.
And she's like, what are you two doing?
We have to get out of here.
So now it's time to kill mentally ill stereotype guy.
And he's way, way before we kill him,
there's actually a love scene.
Oh, there is.
I forgot, this is such good acting.
Why don't you describe the excellent acting
that happened to you?
Again, there's only so much you can do with a basket.
You're dead inside.
There's only so much you can do.
Have you guys seen the undoing?
I had to give it up. Nicole Kidman, I know is a good actress. There's only so much you can do. Have you guys seen the undoing? No. I had to give it up.
The Colchidman, I know is a good actress,
but there's only so much you can do when your whole script is,
ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh,
and anybody who's seen that show of no sort of talking about.
Yeah, so she brings them into a classroom
and lays them down on a couch.
And Nari, to be spoken of again in the film.
Yep.
Oh, that's right.
He's just done.
He's just playing their dying of a bullet wound
on the couch for the rest of the movie.
And we never address it.
And that she kisses him first says goodbye.
And yes, we do see him later, but she never asks after him.
No.
She is never concerned about it.
There is one scene later where she's
talking to a cop by the way, spoiler.
And she's like, can you do me a favor? And I thought that's when she was going to say go to this
room in the school and make sure that my best friend is okay. But nope, that doesn't happen.
No. No. Instead she gives him a smooch and she's like, he's like, I have to tell you something
and she gives him a smooch and she says, tell me at prom and he's like, oh, okay, no, I was going
to tell you about the bottom. You should, it's like, I, okay. No, I was going to tell you about the bond.
You should, it's just like, I'm really big.
You need to focus up.
What is that?
I'm not sure.
What happened?
She's like, tell me it prom.
It's going to be a magical night and he's like, love that, love that for us.
So excited to get all up in there.
I love how your body looks.
Mmm, yummers.
But there's a bomb.
There's a bomb in the cafeteria.
And I'm shot.
So it would just please don't forget about me entirely. And then when you see the
cops later, don't say anything about me. Don't let that happen.
Do you like my question? Bad man voice. Ethan Cara, I think it's really good.
Do you guys think I'm an amazing actor? Now it's just occurred to me that maybe Cara and
he think I'm an incredible actor. We'll get to it later. Anyways, now it's time to kill problematically mentally ill guy.
Oh, in the worst scene pot.
This is probably the worst scene on the whole movie.
No.
So good though.
Because it's pretty funny.
Because they check off science lab, but they don't know how to make it happen.
Right?
Remember at the beginning in the movie, they were like explosions, hydrogen.
She runs to the science lab. We're like, she, hydrogen. She runs at the side of the slide.
She's like, she's great.
She's going to blow up crazy guy.
So smart.
Nope.
She turns on the hydrogen and it makes a footh near crazy guy and then she's like, oh.
Before that, before that, she runs into the room and turns all the gas burners on.
And then she goes, and then she goes and hides behind a lab bench and I'm like,
girl, you go and get hurt too.
Like this is not this is not a focused thing.
This is just a this is a kamikaze situation that you've just created.
Yeah, you've created your own bomb.
So congratulations, so we yes.
But yeah, she and crazy guy struggle.
He crazy guy monologue.
Oh, yeah, she starts to fight him.
To be clear, she's my size.
She's like five foot three.
And he's like six, seven.
He's like a lurch.
Yeah.
In real life.
And so they have to use this really terrible stunt double
because he literally throws her across the room.
And it's like in an SNL sketch where it's like a rag doll.
Yeah, heathen a wig, falling through one side, and just as he's about to take her out
during his crazy monologue, Thomas Jane snipes him in the head.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
I have a question, and I feel like this is the panel to ask,
did they let you keep your sniper rifle when you leave the army?
Ah!
Ah!
Did they let you keep any other military weapons?
Like hand grenades or bazooka?
Well, I'm pretty sure that this movie takes place in Texas
or somewhere like it.
That's true.
I think you can just buy a sniper from like seven or less.
Yeah, he probably picked that up in a Walmart
on his way there.
Like, or like he opened a new checking account
in his bank and they gave it to him.
Also, that room's full of hydrogen gas now.
If the whole room exploded when he shot through the window
and he was just like, ah, did not see that coming.
I don't think the room's full of hydrogen gas.
She exploded the little hydrogen thing.
Yeah, little hydrogen.
Little I thought she turned on all the taps,
but use one of them to make her little one. Yeah, the movie forgot. The taps aren't. Little hydrogen. Little hydrogen. I thought you turned on all the taps, but used one of them to make her a little one.
Yeah, the movie forgot.
The taps aren't full of hydrogen.
In my head, I don't ruin this for me.
In my head, every school has a very large hydrogen tank.
The taps are probably full of natural gas.
It's just so that you can light your, your Bunsen burner.
I think it's, I think it's explosive.
They, I think they have very large amounts
of explosive gas that they can just fill a room with.
It is explosive.
It says if you turned on your oven
but didn't like the burner,
like that can cause a horrible explosive fire.
Yeah, and I'm pretty sure one bullet at that point
anywhere near that explodes the whole building.
Maybe, maybe you're right, but just to be clear,
it's not hydrogen. It gets not like, it's not a bomb, it's a fire. No idea what I'm talking about.
And me, who dad somehow gets the kill shot from the ground. Yep. He had gets the kill shot.
Third floor building, I don't know. Dad to be clear has decided to become a vigilante
sniper, but not tell the cops about it and just do it on his own.
Right. And we watch him being arrested. That's what happens.
Yeah, he's like, look, I'm helping. She notices that it's dad and gives him like a really kind of like
sup look. And then he goes, she gives him the head nod like,
good job killing that person who you had absolutely no way of knowing
was one of the school shooters, dad. Yeah. Really wanted dad to accidentally shoot the
boyfriend as they were going down the hallway. Oh, sorry. That's on me, honey, kitten.
That's on daddy. Or the accidentally shoot honey kitten. Like there are multiple scenes where
the dad is training his scope like on her head.
Yeah.
What?
Ridiculous.
I could be single again.
Can you imagine being a father and looking through the scope of your sniper rifle at your
own daughter?
Wouldn't you be like, I think maybe I should put this gun away.
Yep.
Something's wrong.
Something's happening in my life to bring me to this point.
I feel like I've taken a wrong turn somewhere.
This is maybe I've gone too far, but he snipes the guy.
And then we watch super polite FBI and cops like nicely arrest him.
They're just like, sir, sir, you're not allowed technically to be a vigilante sniper.
Please come with us nicely.
Come with us. We get, yes, we can stop at Burger King on the way. Thank you for asking.
I'm going to save everyone a ton of time for these next two scenes. One, because they're
terribly shot and two because they don't matter at all. Here's what happens. Tristan grabs a random
kid from the crowd and walks off with one of the bomb buckets.
The movie will not explain this, but what Tristan then does is kills that kid and then blows
up the bomb bucket to fake his own death.
Right.
Which at this point, I saw that dead body was her friend who was on the couch.
I watched the movie a second time and I was like, oh, okay, it's a stupid red herring.
It's not this.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So he does that.
She, the van, which is filled with bombs, which her friend told her about that she backs
out of the window that it went through because you know, when you crash through a wall,
you can just back reverse and it totally goes backwards.
It goes back and explodes harmlessly in the parking lot.
Luckily, no one's in the parking lot, even though we just saw a bunch of people run past
the car.
There are people in the parking.
She throws the van in reverse with a bomb inside towards the cops and survivors who are
right outside.
They even show us.
But this way they've cleared the cafeteria.
Yeah.
There's no one left in the cafeteria and the bomb has a 44 minute countdown on it.
Oh no, it's 44 seconds.
I thought it was 44 seconds.
No, that was 44 seconds.
The 44 minutes is the movie we should remake.
If we just got to watch that, 44 minutes out.
To be clear, there's no leading zeros.
No, there are not.
That's what it looks like like 44 minutes and some seconds.
Now I'm learning it's 44 seconds and some 24 minutes.
So much better though, like they're all standing outside while the van just sits there.
Like does anyone want to watch an episode and a half of everybody loves Raymond?
But why didn't she just run outside with everybody else and say, get down, the van's going
to explode instead of reversing it into
the crowd.
Because of the kids that wouldn't leave.
See, we get this incredibly terrible shot where it shows the van and then there's like
two kids who were like, I don't know, maybe I'll stay around the cafeteria and that's why
she pushes the van out the door.
Oh, no, because they're empty the cafeteria before.
No, there's two injured girls in the corner with people helping them.
And she starts to do the trolley expo, what's it called?
The child problem, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, save two and murder everybody.
Go outside.
I'm sure you're fine.
So yeah, the bomb goes off.
Where's Ben Shapiro?
I can solve this.
She gets arrested, which is just a weird moment because then we cut back to like her
in the back of a police van and head cop shows up and uncuffs her and he's like, oh, sorry
about arresting you.
We just saw a young person with a gun during a mass shooting.
Yeah, she's running around with an automatic weapon, by the way.
And at this point, before she gets arrested, her hair is still down.
And if anybody listening to the show is a woman like me, or a dude with long hair, or any
other, you know, gender who has long hair, you know what I'm talking about when I say
it would be an opponent tailed by now.
What?
Wait, why would it be an opponent tailed by now?
So when your hair is longer than your eyes, it gets in your fucking eyes when you're running
around trying to do shit.
Oh, this is why we need Noah on this episode.
He takes the week off.
He could do it.
It's irritated.
It's the reason why when you watch sports, like the tennis players, the basketball players,
the volleyball players, the cheerleaders,
all the different athletes who have long hair
or the football play, you know,
whether they're male, whether they're female,
whether they're trans, whether they're non-binary,
everybody who has long hair has it up.
Okay, that's true.
Because you can't, it's the most irritating thing in the world
to have like sweaty
Like stringy hair running around in your and she's running around armed trying to kill bad guys
And it really honestly like I feel very strongly about this you guys
This is the hole in the story this is the problem
That's an excellent action point that we need to touch, because if she had just had berets in this whole movie
and they kept falling out, she was like, wait, wait, wait,
I lost it on the ground.
So in one of a Bobby pin, okay, everyone has a Bobby pin.
Okay, she's just doing that thing
where you don't know what wrist it's on.
She's just reaching behind her head.
I know I have one in here somewhere.
Let me go check Goth Girl's purse.
You know Goth Girl's got plenty of hair ties.
Oh, yeah.
So yeah, she's in the back of the van post rescuing everybody.
The cops like, good job.
Stop in that mess shooting.
Unfortunately, our hands were tied by the liberal media.
Yeah, sorry.
Turns out black lives matter.
So we had to stay outside the whole time.
But good working there doing our job.
Oh, and I think dead mom came back at some point.
Yeah, dead mom is totally great.
She's like, yep, you've killed three people.
I'm ready to go off to heaven.
She talks to dad real quick.
She's like, Dad, are you going to go to jail for sniping a child in the head?
And he's like, eh, don't worry about it.
Hand wavy movie stuff, hand wavy movie stuff.
And then she sees Tristan walking away from the crowd.
He's going to get away with it.
And he's got a mega hat on.
Yep, it's got a red hat on.
He took the charred body decoy boys hat, put it on his head,
starts to sneak into the woods.
And Zoe thinks, hmm, instead of pointing this out
to the 100 person SWAT team, I'm going to find an automatic weapon
in the grass and then follow him into the woods myself.
Even Dumber, it's dad sniper rifle.
It's dad rifle, yes.
Which they left there.
They were like, we'll get to that later.
We'll leave that in case Zoe needs to kill anyone else.
Oh, I see.
So they're like, we're gonna arrest you,
but we're gonna leave this fully loaded automatic weapon
right here for anybody to find.
Works for me.
So we watch Tristan get out his go bag,
because you know how mass shooters have a go bag
full of $100 bills and
fake passport. Oh, I thought he was just geocaching and found a really good
Oh my god, I love it. No, but he's going through his money and she shoots him and then remember the
monologue from the very beginning. God such good movie making. She's like your lungs are gonna fill with blood
I won't let you suffer.
And then she goes, and this is so fucking stupid,
I love it so much she goes, this is the best.
Or will I? He he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he She literally picks up a boulder and does a knot and like fake smashes his face with the boulder and is like,
or will I leave me? I yes, I will leave you to suffer. That's it. That's what's happening here.
So to be clear, once again, this is the good girl quote unquote, the good guy in the movie who's fully armed, who out of spite and vindictiveness, out of
her avenge, follows the school shooter into the woods when there are law enforcement officials
who could go and arrest him.
Yep.
Because he's not even armed at this point.
Instead, she goes, murder him in cold blood and then lets him slowly die a painful death because
that's healthy.
Yep.
She shoots him with a sniper rifle like a deer gives the same speech to tie up that amazing
loose end that they started and walks away.
She goes to jail now.
Yeah, she's not.
But they don't show any of that.
A murderer.
Just murdered this person in cold blood. She was was not it was not in self defense. There was no she is a murderer and somehow
the the moral to take away of this movie is that she's the good guy. Yeah, it's like they
watched dirty Harry and they were like, yeah. Fantastic. And that's the movie. Nope. That's the end of the movie.
And then we get a musical outro, which is like just a nice country song about watching
a kid die slowly.
Yeah, I can't.
Yeah, so weird.
It's okay to murder people.
This movie is so dark, you guys.
It's like honestly, I like to joke that you guys made me watch terrible movies, but this
is a different kind of terrible.
We like to keep you on your toes.
And now we know you have Stockholm syndrome for the acting,
so I need to go deeper with the terrible acting.
It's one of these things where like,
I was very on the fence and have been throughout this whole thing
and I feel it from you guys too
of being like funny, not funny, funny, no, not funny.
Dark.
Yep. not okay.
They were accidentally funny a bunch though.
They were, but I still have, I feel like I need to take a shower now.
Oh, absolutely.
Yeah, they're like needing to take a shower accidentally funny.
That's a good way to describe Ben Shapiro's film making.
Exactly.
Tiga, which, what's the tagline?
Ooh, I'm going to go with run hide fight, Ben Shapiro.
Okay.
I like it. Murder in cold blood is only acceptable if you're doing it for revenge, apparently.
Yeah, that's it. That's good. And it's a hero in character.
Yeah, yeah. Then you're the good guy.
Awesome. And country music, the end. Yep. All right. Well, while that does it for our
review of Run, Hide Fight, that's not going to do it for the episode. Just yet because
we still have a mullet,acular to announce Eli, what's on deck? Well, he's after this
week, I think it's time to kick back and have some fun with the Christian action film starring dog, the bounty hunter, hunter's creed.

Right for school.
Our hero, in Zoe, lived the rest of her life with the horrific trauma of witnessing her
fellow classmates get murdered, and then choosing to murder the shooter herself, even though
she didn't have to.
But hey, at least she got to fight in a war like her daddy always wanted.
Pffft.
Ben Shapiro's wife went on to tell him that a wet vagina is the disease.
The listener, who used to email us every time we mentioned guns on any of our shows, literally
shot himself in the foot last year and hasn't emailed us since.

He forgot he had a message on Facebook.
