Welcome to Too Scary, Didn't Watch, the horror movie recap podcast for those too scared to watch for themselves. I'm Emily, and I'm too scared to watch scary movies. I'm Henley, and I'm also too scared to watch scary movies. And this week, we don't have Sammy!

We don't have Sammy, it's weird. Listeners, if you're here for the first time, normally we're joined by Sammy, our dear friend and third host, who loves to watch scary movies and tells us what happens in them. And that's usually we meet. I mean, we need her.

That's how this all began. But she's just very busy and important and is working hard in Washington, as she's mentioned before. So she's going to be out. Washington State, not Washington, D.C. For anyone who thinks that they accidentally tuned into a political podcast. Oh, you did not. Oh, my gosh. You did not.

We. Yeah, man. Oh, boy. So Sammy. Sammy's not here today. Unfortunately, I know. Please don't turn it off. I know Sammy's.

That's probably the main reason you guys tuned in. We know that you're here for Sammy, but please, we'll try our best. Oh, goodness. Hey, what's up with us this week? This is the part of the podcast where we ask each other what we've been up to, and I

am pretty confident we've been up to the exact same thing in completely different locations, which is just absolutely fanatically refreshing our browsers to see what the election results are. We're recording this on Thursday at 6.50 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. And as of right now, we are still waiting for the final results to come in. Looks like Biden, you know, Biden's ahead. Math is working in his favor. We think, you know, he's gonna pull through. But nonetheless, it is alarming how close this fucking election is and really disappointing, really disappointing and taking fucking forever to find out, which we knew might be what happened. But nonetheless, it fucking sucks

for it to be taking this long. It really does. It sucks in a lot of ways and for a lot of reasons. We all know. I mean, my God, I promise this isn't a political podcast. Too late. It is now. It's not a political podcast. And hopefully by the time you're listening to this, you're like, oh, everything's fine now. We feel great. Really, so many things are bad. And I guess you have to really see it to be able to reckon with it. And it is another slap in the face of a reminder of like, oh, right. very bad like he i think again biden's gonna win he's gonna pull through that is better in so many ways for so many reasons um most especially in this moment for the pandemic and climate um which need to get back on track desperately but hey there's a lot of shit that's still really ugly and really, really broken and disgusting about our country. And we cannot hide from that. No, we cannot hide from that he's reacted to so many things that have happened, has seen the way he's handled the pandemic, has seen the way he's handled Black Lives Matter, and are still supporting him.

And it's just really, really disappointing. You know, there was a huge part of me that was really wanting it to just be a fucking landslide and just a really strong repudiation of Trump. And that didn't happen. And that no matter what is just really disappointing, I'd say. Yeah, it's it's really disappointing. I to say the fucking least. Boy, oh boy. I don't think we're on track for any huge structural changes to happen, unfortunately, because it looks like the Senate's going to stay Republican. Although some news that I think just came through is that there's probably going to be a runoff in Georgia

for the two senators there, which might mean... Yeah, so that might mean there's a chance for us to flip the Senate blue, which would be fucking awesome. So if you live in Georgia, pay attention to those races. Get your friends involved. Get your family involved. I think the date I saw, this could be

misinformation. We don't fact check. January 5th, I think, is the runoff election. Also, I read this literally minutes before we started recording. So hopefully this is... Yeah, I thought it was just the one but they didn't know about the second and that rules. Honestly, and I hope this doesn't offend any Georgians who listen. Some of my very favorite people

are from Georgia, but who would have thought? I'm from Florida and I'm fucking disgusted by Florida. I can't believe... I mean, I can believe, but I'm so devastated that they went as hard for Trump as they did. And Georgia, fucking

hell yes. Way to pull through. I don't know which way you're going to go yet, but the fact that Georgia is like up for grabs right now, fucking rules. It's fucking cool. It's all because of Stacey Abrams.

She's amazing. I of Stacey Abrams. Stacey Abrams is amazing. She's amazing. I love Stacey Abrams. God, she is fucking cool. She is so cool. This is a political podcast now. We're going to get to that episode. We're stopping now.

It's just like, I mean, if you're in America, you get it. This is all we have been able to think about. It's a huge deal. It's a huge deal what is happening right now. But you know what else is a huge deal? It's not a great segue. But you know what? No. Okay. Here's a huge deal. I watched the movie this week

because Sammy is gone. And Emily, honestly, you are just taking up the new spot for Resident Brave person. Oh my god. Because you were just talking about how you know around halloween you watched three horror movies in one week like who are you you don't i wouldn't you wouldn't even recognize yourself this podcast has changed me for the better it's

changed you that's what we on the podcast called growth um and if anybody else wants to call it that they can we call it growth here um this week i will say the movie wasn't all that scary and it is one i've seen before and was just very excited to do on the podcast and i cannot wait to tell you about it henley this week's movie is attack the block um it came out in 2011 it is written and directed by Joe Cornish. And it stars John Boyega, Jodie Whittaker, Alex Esmail, Leon Jones, Franz Drama, Simon Howard, Luke Treadway, Nick Frost, and Jermaine Hunter. Kind of an ensemble cast situation. So lots and lots of people. It's so fucking good. Listeners um it's so fucking good listeners it's really not

that scary i would classify it more as an action movie with like some creature horror um but it's like a few jumpscare it like some some gore but it's mainly just a fucking blast um i love action movies though as listeners may know i don't know if I've talked in depth about my love for Tom Cruise on this podcast, but I love a good action movie. God, this movie is so fun. And it's been a while since I've seen it. And it has a lot of really great social commentary and like felt so poignant in this moment. Oh, it's good oh which speaking of we should move into the trivia section because you have some fucking good trivia i texted earlier on our thread saying get ready i'm gonna

read every piece of trivia that is listed on our favorite place oh hell yeah trivia for this movie because it's really good it's really really, really cool. Welcome to Cocktail Hour. And I'm officially done with that. I'm so sorry that there's more to come in this episode. Here's a drink that might help you get through it. This week's cocktail is a black velvet, a classic British cocktail made with equal parts Guinness and champagne.

You will slowly pour three and a half ounces of Guinness stout into a chilled flute glass, top with your champagne and gently stir. That's all you need. So go ahead and get that drink. And I apologize in advance for more of my very bad British accent. Cheers. Okay. First I'll start off with the bummer of a trivia, which is I'm going to give us some numbers. The budget was 8 million pounds. It's a British movie and it listed this in pounds

and of course I didn't do any further research to convert that because why would I? Why would you? 8 million pounds. It made the box office 4 million pounds. So it definitely lost. You hate to see it. Most of the time we're doing movies that really, really outperform, overperform.

And honestly, considering how great this movie looks, that budget is wild. And it's like they used almost entirely practical effects. It's like it's an amazingly well done movie on that budget, which honestly is pretty low. But yeah, it's a bummer that it didn't make more. It's very, very good. It has, as I have mentioned, you can stream it on Amazon Prime. But I think part of that, too, is that it was like it's all teenagers for the most part. And it was a lot of unknowns at the time.

So like, you know, John Boyega is now a huge name, an amazing actor. I think this was his first thing and he found out about this film, this is one of my trivias, from an ad placed online. Can you believe that?

How does that fucking happen? It's crazy. That's so cool. That's too bad it didn't do better i know and it'd be such a good story jodie whittaker um i i did not know this because i don't watch the show but um is the female doctor who the first female doctor who so she's a huge deal now but again at the time i think that they were just sort of beginning their careers um the accents are so great. It takes place in South London and it's like really lot British,

like kind of like, you know, anyway. That's fun. That was good. Thank you so much. So the, here's my trivia. I have a lot of it. So Joe Cornish, the writer and director interviewed various kids in youth groups in order

to find out what weapons they would use in an alien invasion. So that's how he got his idea. He literally did a lot of research with teens. I love that. Yeah. And a lot of the lines from those focus groups went directly into the script, which is cool. They had asked a girl, what would you think of this creature if you found it? I guess they had an image of it. And she said, I wouldn't touch it.

Don't want to get chlamydia. And that line is in the movie, which is great. They did use practical effects, like I said, CGI only when absolutely necessary. The aliens are actors in suits

which is really impressive they have these like glow-in-the-dark teeth which sounds wild but is fucking cool and that was like a real practical effect is like they had these glow fucking teeth um cool which is so cool and and helped these like very new young actors i think really make the most of their performances because they were really in the space with these creatures um right just they're not going on like a green screen or someone and it's not a beauty and the beast situation it's not a beauty and the beast situation um not a beauty and the beast situation for those of you who don't know just uh do a little do a little googling i think we have um posted have you ever posted on our twitter i think you put i think i did put it on our twitter

check our twitter at tsw podcast um for my favorite internet picture of all time. One other trivia. My favorite thing. It's just pure coincidence. The movie takes place on Guy Fawkes Night, which is a British thing that I didn't research, but it is like a holiday of sorts. I don't know. Sorry, British listeners. Tell me how I'm wrong. Which is the 5th of November, which is today.

Henley and I are recording on the 5th of November, and I just thought that was really freaking cool. What are the freaking odds, man? What are the freaking odds? And then, so it's like a group of teens who have, as we said, weapons for this alien invasion. But the director was very keen that only high hats, which is one of the characters,

um, only high hats used guns. He's the genuine villain and the only villain. He is the only guy who shoots anyone. If I put hand, if I put guns in hands of other characters, it would become a whole different film, which I thought was really cool.

I love that. Um, yeah, let's get guns out of our movies as much as possible you know let's definitely i mean that's that's that's prioritized we're getting a lot of movies um we'll both uh teens and movies you get it um so my goodness gracious henley are you ready to watch this oh my god i are you ready to watch this trailer? Oh my God. I'm so excited to watch this trailer. I feel like I'm not going to be too scared. You're not going to be too scared.

And I will say, we have a lot of debate between the three of us about watching trailers before hearing about the movies. Henley, you in particular do not like to watch the trailer. I don't want to know too much. I don't want to know too much. This is a good trailer. I watched it earlier. And I think that this is a movie where it is helpful to watch

the trailer first because it really helps convey the tone of the movie and you get to see what the creatures look like which I think is going to be helpful for hearing about them. I'm excited. So let's do it!

What is that, cuz? That's an alien, bruv. Believe it. When I landed in the wrong place, though, you get the wrong place. Well, lads, we discovered a species either too unknown to science. He kicked his head in. Yo, check it. More. More what? Them tings. Lovely fireworks.

Mummy, it's an alien invasion. Course it is. I'm killing them. I'm killing them straight. Let's get tooled up, lad. Quite sweet, really, aren't they? That looks triple disaster. Right now, I feel like going home, locking my door, and playing FIFA. What were those things? Thinking probably aliens.

What kind of alien would invade some council estate in South London? One that's looking for a fight. What is that? What's wrong with you, man? You got a tool. Jesus, he looks about six. I'm nine and a half. We need to get off the streets back in a block

yes that was so fun I've never seen the trailer for that before I've never even heard of this movie I think until recently I hadn't either. I heard of it through Joel. He

gets far too many mentions on this podcast. Yeah, you know, let's stop talking about our number one horror-respondent, Joel Jensen. Our number one horror-respondent. Yeah, he introduced me to this movie, and it's so fucking good. And yeah, I mean, I think many people haven't heard of it and it

Clearly didn't do great at the box office but It's worth a watch have I mentioned it There's so many great yeah so many great One liners already I could tell It's funny and like genuinely funny Um I still wouldn't call it Like a horror comedy You know but um

But it is very fun it's just so Fun it's like fucking way fun. Okay, I'm just going to get right into it, Hen. What do you think? Let's just get right into it. Let's just get right into it. Okay, so you sort of got a feel for the tone. This takes place in South London. So this big apartment

complex, it clearly is... So the tagline for this movie, which is great, is inner city versus outer space. So this is inner city So the title for this movie, which is great, is Inner City versus Outer Space. So this is inner city, a lot of tiny apartments in this big building. They call it The Block. So movie starts. We are up in the sky. We see a very bright, fast-moving shooting star pan down.

We see we're in London. A woman gets off the tube she's on the phone uh with her mom just saying like i know i haven't visited in a while i just normal mom conversation uh she is walking home down the sidewalk there are fireworks going off everywhere which i guess is a thing on guy fox night which is a thing that I didn't look up at all. That I have heard of before. I don't know what it is. I don't know what it is either. Sorry, British listeners.

So there are fireworks going off all over. It's a dark street. Honestly, any woman's most scary occurrence is just walking home alone in general. So she's like a little on edge and she gets spooked by some fireworks and she's close to home. She hangs up the phone, sees in the distance a group of teen boys like in hoodies with their faces covered

with little scarves on their bikes and she gets a little nervous, goes to sort of turn the other direction now some of them are behind her this is clearly a setup uh they mug her um and they take her phone her her purse uh ring off her finger She's sort of freaking out. They, next to them immediately, this like, something shoots down from the sky,

like a fireball, blasts into a car next to them on the street, breaks all the windows, um, distracts them enough for her to get away from them. They still have her stuff, but she manages to get away. Uh,

they, the boys, there's, okay, there are so many boys and so many names. Their names are, it's a- Yeah, there's, I was about to, I was thinking that while watching the trailer. I was like, dang, how is Emily going to keep all these people straight? I'm going to try and I'm probably going to get it wrong at some point. It's a lot of, it's five boys, friends. They're like a little group. And you don't even learn their names for a while, I feel like. Also, they have very heavy accents. But, okay.

Moses is John Boyega. He's our, like, main guy. Okay. Then we have Dennis, Pest, Jerome, and Biggs. Those are their names. Great. I'm going to call them the boys, I think, for most of this movie. So the boys go to investigate what's going on in the car.

They're like, oh, it was a firework. And some of the boys are like, no, that doesn't make sense. They look. And Moses, who's kind of the leader, puts his head in the window. He's looking around and gets attacked. Something scratches his face, bursts out of the car and goes running. So he's pissed that he got his face cut. And they're clearly like they're teens but that they're like think

they're really tough and they're these inner city kids that clearly have sort of dealt with some shit it would seem um but so they're like let's go after what the fuck was that let's get they say a lot of things in this movie like trust believe like they're just like it's fucking cool i can't possibly do it justice but they they're cool. So they go after it. Moses at the lead. They find it, like, tucked away in a little shed. And Moses goes in after it. We see, like, lights and sparks and whatever.

Fight. Little fight moment. And Moses brings it out. He killed it. They're all like. Is it, like, small? It's small all like... Oh, is it like small? It's small, yeah. What size is it?

It's like... They keep calling it Dobby, which is fun. Oh, I love that. That's my spirit animal. Then you won't love that they killed... It doesn't look like Dobby. It doesn't actually look like Dobby and it's bigger than Dobby, I'd say.

It's about the size of a Gringotts goblin. Is that helpful? Yeah, a little heftier than the Dobster. A little heftier than the Dobby, than a house elf. Yeah. But small, nonetheless. And these are, you know, they're like 15. And so, oh, and we know that Moses has a knife on him.

He used it when he was mugging. He didn't hurt her, but he like pulled the knife out to intimidate the woman when he was mugging her so they're they're equipped to to deal with this thing so beat it up they pull it out and they're all like whoa what is it oh it's a new species and they're like really excited um they drag it home with them they like tie um one of their belts around it like under its arms and are just like dragging this thing through the street. They think it's really cool. They think they're so fucking tough. Oh God. So

they're like we need to take it to Ron. He like loves Nash. I really need to do this without the accents. This is going to be so annoying. I don't know. I'm enjoying it. They're like he's always watching National Geographic. So they're trying to bring it to their friend Ron to see if he knows what the fuck this animal is um upon entering the the block um they run into a group of teenage girls they're clearly friends um moses is clearly into one of them a

little bit there's like a little back and forth this a fun thing about this movie that i that is we've talked about in other horror movies that center around kids is adults are like not present at all um we have a brief moment of like seeing some parent figures but it's so small um so it really is like these kids seem to be living pretty unsupervised um and they had their own little group um so they run into the girls and the girls think that the alien is gross but they're like showing it off and they think it's so cool they're like oh moses you killed that that's wild um then there are these two little kids you saw them in the trailer these two little boys

who ask to be called probs and Mayhem And they're like Cool Clearly look up to this Group of teens And the teens don't Take them seriously And they're like Probs and Mayhem

You're like little boys Like no those aren't We're not calling you that Um They go to get on the elevator To go up to Ron's Uh run into this like Super nerdy white guy

Uh Who like Is waiting before them. The elevator goes to get on. They all come in and like take the elevator. He's like, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I'll get the next one. No problem. So we're getting a feel for like the vibe of this crew. They think they're hot shit.

Meanwhile, we see that the woman they had mugged has made it home safely. She is talking to the police about her attackers and describing they were they were young teens. They had scarves on their faces, hoodies, bikes. So we go to Ron. He is he's he played the partner in Hot Fuzz. He's like a he you saw him in the trailer. He's like long hair in this. He's like the only.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yes. Weed salesman. Salesman. What would you saw him in the trailer. He has like long hair in this. He's like the only adult we see. He's a weed salesman. Salesman? What would you call it? Got it. Grows weed and sells weed. Maybe it's a door-to-door salesman. A weed salesman.

A weed salesman. A weed dealer. A weed dealer. Right? I don't know. I'm very cool. A weed salesman. Emily.

A weed salesman. Emily. So they're like having, you know, they're all talking and showing off the alien to Ron. They're debating how they're going to sell it and make money off of it. Like, this is some new species. So fucking cool. The guy from the elevator, the nerdy white guy shows up. He's like, he wants to buy weed from Ron.

His name is Brewis. From the salesman. That, he just, you know, is a character, so I'll introduce him. His name is Brewis. Okay. So Moses asks Ron, he's like, can we leave the alien in the weed room while we figure out what to do with it? It's the

safest place in the block. We'll just lock it up in there. And Ron's like, oh, I don't know. You'll have to ask Hi-Hats. And so this is Hi-Hats operation and Hi-Hats apartment in the block. Ron just works for him. Ron doesn't even live there. So Hi-Hats is there. They go into the weed room, which is like, you know, essentially an indoor greenhouse where they're growing all the weed. So we meet Hi-Hats and his friend.

Hi-Hats is older, probably early 20s. He basically allows Moses to leave the alien in there if he'll start selling drugs for him.

We get the feeling Hi-Hats is the kind of guy who's like, for lack of a better term, this sounds very like upper middle class white bullshit, but like corrupting the young people in the block, like just taking advantage of these kids not having very many opportunities and it's like kind of part of the problem though I doubt he has opportunities available to him either but he's our villain as described in the trivia

it's too bad he has such a cool name hi-hats is a cool name he also is like a fucking loser like he is listening to a song he recorded and like singing along to it when they come in he's like Moses isn't this song cool like he is listening to a song he recorded and like singing along to it when they come in he's like moses isn't this song cool like he like sucks um yeah he sucks uh but um we he his friend this is a funny moment his friend like comes up to the pup and is like oh bro you make that in school wow you've got mad skills with puppets, which is fun.

But so they leave the alien there. And Hi-Hats gives Moses white, which I'm guessing is cocaine, right? Again? Yeah, that sounds right. Yeah, there you go. He's like, you're going to sell this cocaine for me, sell this white. So Moses takes it and puts it in his sock um and he's fucking excited like he comes out and his friends are like oh shit you got made man you got made by hot hats it's so great he's and so they're like excited that he's now getting to

sell drugs for him um so as they're sort of celebrating they look out the window because they see more like firebombs coming down from the sky. And they're like, oh, shit, there's more of them. And they are like, let's go fucking kill them. We're going to kill them all. Now they're like amped and confident. So we do a fun little montage that each one of them goes down to their apartments and collects their what their weapons would be for getting this alien. So one gets a bat another

gets a chain another gets a fuck ton of fireworks and another one gets his dog who's like a little sort of pity looking dog um so they go outside they're following where they've seen something come down to the ground. They see that it is like a huge meteorite and in it is like a fossilized one of these aliens. But it's fucking huge and it does not look like the one that they killed. Like they can see from the, I don don't know shape of it in there that it was that this thing is like big and scary so they're like oh you know what uh never mind uh i just want to go home um is that when the fifa line happens yeah like i'm just gonna go home and play fifa my accent's getting worse, damn it.

But we hear a noise in the distance. It sounds like a screech or a roar or something bad. And the dog runs away. And the dog runs opposite direction down the hill. And since it gets out of sight, we hear it yelp. And you better believe that dog is dead immediately i was hoping that the rules of dogs didn't apply in this basically action movie no they apply super hard it happens so fast you don't see it but it's like god damn it it happens so fast um oh so then in the light

there's like it's cool it's nighttime and there's fireworks. So you see backlit over the hill, this huge black fur. It looks sort of like the body of a gorilla. It's huge. Big, fluffy, black, black, black fur. We see its form come up over the hill. We see two glowing eyes. And the boys are like, oh, fuck. Then it opens its mouth.

Those were not eyes. They were glowing teeth. A huge mouth of a bunch of glowing big teeth. It roars. Cool. The boys run away from it. Go roars. Cool. The boys run away from it, go back to the block. And then those little boys we see

who want to be just like the big boys, Probs and Mayhem, had followed them, so now they've seen the creature. They know what's up. So they all run away. As the boys are running on their bikes, fleeing back to the block, they start getting chased by police because, again, they mugged a woman earlier.

In the pursuit, all of the boys, except for Moses, get away. The police tackle him and then they find the cocaine in his sock. Oh, no. Fuck. So they arrest him. They handcuff him. They put him in the back of their police van. They, no. Fuck. So they arrest him. They handcuff him. They put him in the back of their police van. They have like a van, white van.

The woman who was mugged, her name is Sam. She is in the front seat of the police, which I thought was interesting. Like you would bring her on a pursuit. Do they do that in England? That's wild. But she's there. That doesn't make any sense. She's there.

She would want to go home. him okay maybe she has to like go make a statement or something but it wouldn't have taken that long for that to happen I don't know why she's there but she is okay she's there she's there so she IDs Moses and is like yes he was one of them and then she goes and you know all the rest of them

are right up there they're like literally standing on like one of those overpass bridges all looking down but from up there the boys can see that the alien creature has caught up with them and is behind the van and they're trying to they're like oh fuck oh fuck

oh fuck the they shut Moses the police there's two police officers both outside the van shut the back of the van to get Moses in immediately gets got this we just see like blood um then uh so it's gotten both the police officers Moses and Sam inside the van are freaking out the alien jumps on top of the van and it is like clawing and like very Jurassic Park just like trying to get in like Desperate to get in the van

he says, like, meet us at the garage. So all the boys are heading towards the garage. Okay. So, as they're driving into the garage, they smash front to front into Hi-Hat's car. Oh. So Hi-Hat is driving out of the garage or they just run into his parked car? No, no, no. He's driving out with his friend.

So they smash into him. And he's pissed because they're also in a police van. And he's like, what the fuck is going on? Like, you brought the police. You have a stolen police van and now you're going to get us fucking busted. And they're freaking out. And they're like, no, no, no. You don't understand.

There's fucking aliens. Fucking aliens, man. Fucking aliens. They're like freaking out and they're like, no, no, you don't understand. There's fucking alien. Fucking aliens, man. Fucking aliens. They're like freaking out. And Hi-Hats is like, say alien one more time. He's like so pissed. In the kerfuffle, they tell Sam, they're like, go back. Go home.

Like, go to the block. Don't worry about this. So she runs away. Hi-Hats pulls out his gun and goes to shoot Moses. And then all the boys pull out their little makeshift weapons. Yeah, he's pissed. He's like a very loose cannon, Hi-Hats. Jesus. Yeah.

Jesus. What is shooting Moses going to do? Just assert his authority. I don't know. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. He's not a good guy. He's not a good guy. No. I don't know. Oh my god. Oh my god. He's not a good guy. He's not a good guy. No. I'm getting that impression. You're getting that impression.

That's the right impression. Good. We then hear from the other side of the garage this like an under the building parking garage the alien screech. I'm going to call it screeches because it's very like that more so than a roar. Do you know what I mean? I'm going to call it screeches because it's very like like that more so than a roar.

Do you know what I mean? I'm going to call them screeches. We hear the alien screech. Screeches. And so Hi-Hat has this friend who's been with him, the guy who said the thing about puppets. And he's like, go go look, check out what that is. And

so the guy like walks around the back of the car looking he's like there's nothing here all of a sudden alien attacks him pulls out his throat oh no he's very dead uh and the boys and high hats manage to uh run away um run back uh to get their bikes and get back in the block. We have this fun moment where this is Pest, is his name. He goes, you know what? I'm shitting myself, isn't it? But at the same time, this is sick.

Which is fun. They like ride their little, they're're not motorcycles like motorbikes they ride them back like through the open doors of the front door of the lobby of their building and like one of them smashes into the elevator it's fun they're just like really trying to get in the alien has caught on to them and is fucking chasing them at this point we don't really know how many there are, but it seems like more than one because they keep seeing them. And they're all really big? They're all really big.

Every single one looks like the big, glowy teeth guy. We haven't seen no more of the little Dobby one. Is that like a baby one? I don't know Henley. Oh, okay. I think she does.

That's true. I do. But in this moment of the film, we don't. We don't know. We don't know. So it's chasing them. So they sort of – all the boys sort of have to split up. And Biggs is getting chased and he jumps into like a big dumpster.

It's empty. He jumps into a big empty dumpster. It's empty. He jumps into a big empty dumpster. Shuts the lid. So he's being cornered by this one alien. The other four manage to make it in the front door just in time as another one is pursuing them. Slam the door and like lock it. But it breaks through the glass and bites pests in the leg pretty bad. Uh-oh.

So they're, like, screaming and dragging pests in back into the block where they see Sam, who lives on the first floor, like, unlocking her apartment. She sees them and is like, oh, fuck, not again, and, like, tries to lock them out. They burst into her apartment and are, like, just trying to hide out from the fucking thing.

She, oh, and they remember because they mugged her and they had looked at her ID. She's a nurse. So they're like, oh, you're a nurse.

Like help past. He got fucking bit. And she, she's pissed. These kids tried to fucking mug her. They did mug her earlier. And so she, I don't remember exactly what she

says she like curses at them a bunch says fuck a bunch and one of the kids goes like man you've got potty mouth they're like very funny the things they care about um so eventually they convinced sam to take care of his leg um So like, we saved your life. And she's like, oh, Jesus. So while that happens, we see that at least one of these aliens has made it in and is walking down the first floor hallway. Walking?

Ooh, freaky. Well, not on two legs, but like gorilla style. That's how they move. They move like a gorilla. But fast. I guess gorillas are really fast. A gorilla running after you would be fucking really scary. That would be scary. So we hear a thud in the hallway.

Moses goes to look through the little door keyhole and we see alien face roar right at it. Pretty good jump scare. It breaks in and we have a little fight back and forth but moses manages to stab it and kill it with he has this knife that's like a fucking katana it's like huge um but so he manages what's a katana is that like a machete basically it's like a i don't even know it's yeah like

it's a machete i think god listeners are gonna be like you fucking idiots um but it's like a i don't even know it's yeah like it's a machete i think god listeners are gonna be like you fucking idiots um but it's i know sorry longer than wide it's like it's so okay like a saber yeah but like like a sword yes but like like a blade on one side it's basically just a really big knife. Like a really big knife. Got it, got it. I would have been better. It's a big knife. It's a big ass knife. He manages to stab it and it dies. So, again, in that

commotion, Sam tries to sneak out of her apartment, get away from them. She's like halfway down the hallway. The boys walk out of her apartment and like all the she's like halfway down the hallway the boys walk out of her apartment and like all the lights start going off down the hallway so she turns around sees the guys and it's like fuck okay i'm sticking with you guys you owe me now you have to fucking keep me safe um and so moses says, better get a weapon. So she's part of the crew now.

Oh, cool. What's her weapon going to be? She gets like a regular knife, a big knife to be sure, but a knife that a regular lady would have in her kitchen. The biggest normal knife she can find. Cool. Okay. Okay. So outside we see now Hi-Hhat says two friends come and meet him they give him

another gun i guess um and pick him up in a van because his car is fucked and he's pissed uh now he's like out for blood he wants to kill Moses he's like really Fucking pissed off Oh okay so then Biggs Who's in the dumpster Calls his friends and another Funny running bit through this I mean it's 2011 Is that like none of them have enough cell phone minutes To like keep calling and texting

Each other that's that is Good so Biggs is in the dumpster And he's like I've been calling you for fucking Ever calls Dennis Dennis is like Call everyone you know and just let them know what's That is good. So Biggs is in the dumpster and he's like, I've been calling you for fucking ever. Calls Dennis. Dennis is like, call everyone you know and just let them know what's happening. So from the dumpster, Biggs is just like calling everyone to tell them what's going on. They call the girls and they're having like, I thought, a very fun sort of classic girls night. They're like in one of their bedrooms.

They're reading magazines. They're all like sitting on the bed hanging out and he calls and is like frantic about these aliens they're all like okay and hang up and it's fun um the boys show up at their apartment um oh sorry one thing before that is uh the little boys run into them in the hallway, props and mayhem. And they're like, we want to fight with you. Come on, let's get the aliens. And they're like, no, you are tiny children. They have a water gun and a little pistol. And they take the little pistol from one of them. And he's like, hey, that's my cousins. And so they're like, no, tiny children, you can't. They're small. One of them says he's like hey that's my cousins um and so they're like no tiny children you you can't they're small one of them says he's nine and a half but the other one's probably like

seven or eight they're like really little um so they go up to the girl's place um the girls are like not taking them seriously like how, how high are you? Like, what the fuck? They're not aliens. And they're like, how do you know this fucking girl who's with you? Or she's older than them. They're like, oh, I didn't know you started dating your teacher, Moses, or, like, whatever. And she's like, no, actually, they fucking mugged me earlier tonight. And the girls are really upset with the boys for mugging a woman. Good.

As they should be. Yeah, they're like, you always cause trouble. Like, what the fuck is wrong with you? And then this is where we get into some good social commentary. Sam is like, Sam is white, by the way. That feels worth mentioning. Oh, okay. So Sam says, like says like hey we should call

the cops like we can't possibly deal with these aliens on our own um and all everyone else in the room is like you think that's gonna fucking you think the cops are gonna fucking help us here in the fucking inner city um and we get this great speech from moses uh i wrote it down he said i reckon the feds sent them anyway. They call the cops the feds in this movie. I don't know if it's a British thing. But I reckon the feds sent them anyway. Government probably bred those creatures to kill black boys.

First they sent drugs, then guns. Now they send monsters to get us. They don't care, man. We're not killing each other fast enough. So they decided to speed up the process. Oh, that's fucked up fucked up and also i was like yeah i get it i get feeling that way yeah um yeah yeah so one of the girls her name's tia she goes to open the blinds and we see there are two this is up on like I don't know what floor but high this is like a 20 story

apartment complex we see two aliens clinging to the outside of the window they crash through Dennis who took the gun off the little boy is like oh I got this goes to shoot them and it

was a toy gun and you hate to see it one of them gets him and he dies oh Dennis sorry sorry to see you go Dennis they then start to go for Moses Tia

grabs a floor lamp smashes the light bulb and starts like shocking the alien with it which fucking rules it follows her and starts like shocking the alien with it, which fucking rules. It follows her and another girl into the girl's bedroom and they start beating the shit out of it with ice skates. The blades of ice skates, which is so cool. I love that. What would a teenage girl use to attack a fucking alien?

I guess an ice skate blade. So they're attacking one of them. The other one is still coming for Moses. He has his knife. He like draws it back and it gets stuck in the wall behind him. So he's like trying to pull it out. The thing is coming for him.

And then just in the nick of time, a blade comes up through its neck into its head and kills it. And it was Sam. Okay. Oh my God. They're gonna be friends by the end of this. I think they're gonna be friends. Meanwhile, we see

Hi-Hat has found the two little boys, props and mayhem, and is like hey, where's Moses? Ew. Fuck Hi-Hat. Why isn't it high hat either? Why is it plural? I don't know, but I looked it up because I thought it was high hat

and it is high hats with a Z at the end. Oh. Okay. That's his name. Don't wear it out. What does that mean? What is that about? That's my name. Don't wear it out. What is that? I guess you wear what is that about that's my name don't wear it out what is that i guess like you're not allowed to say my name more than i say you're allowed to say my name

very right yes that's yes that's that that's it i think my name shouldn't be yeah don't wear it out like don't you kind of like want someone to say your name i think love for people to say my name. Doesn't it feel nice to be recognized? You know? It does. It's like validating. It's really validating. Well, well, upstairs, the group is realizing at this point

like the aliens are coming. It's not just a coincidence. They're fucking coming after them. They are coming. It's not just a coincidence. They're fucking coming after them. They are coming after Moses because he killed the Dobby one. And Tia says, actions have consequences, Moses. Everywhere you go, bad things happen. Damn. That sucks.

So they decide to split up. The girls girls are like we're staying the fuck away from y'all i think they they run out and like i think leave the block um uh so the boys go oh my god i just have like so much cat in my mouth what the fuck where did it come from um for wait for listeners i just want you to know that Mabel has been like walking around and trying to sit on Emily this whole time. I've seen shots of Mabel's butt so many times. It's like just her little butthole just right up in the camera. I love Mabel so much.

She's really great, but really annoying. Isn't that? Ain't that? She's so annoying. Ain't that just the way? Okay, so the boys go to get on the elevator. The elevator opens and it's Hi-Hats and his two friends. And Hi-Hats just straight up starts shooting at Moses. What the fuck? At which point,

an alien emerges, which distracts Hi-Hats for a minute, and the boys fucking run the opposite direction, but Hi-Hat starts shooting at the alien, so then the alien starts going for Hi-Hats, and Hi-Hats is, like, very confident at first,

shoots at it a few times, it doesn't fucking react, and so then he hightails it back to the elevator with his friends. Just before the door is shut, the fucking alien gets through. Elevator door is closed and we just hear screaming. Oh, my God. That's it for Hi-Hats. Karma's a bitch. Karma's a bitch.

So they must be on. I think they're on the 19th floor which might be the top floor this is where high hats lives this is where the weed room is um so we see brewis good old brewis uh then is leaving ron's after a lovely night of of getting very, very stoned. And he calls the elevator. It opens. It is full of blood. We see high hats, two friends on the ground, the alien on the ground and high hats covered in blood walks out of the elevator. What? No.

So high hats is still alive. he got one of the fucking aliens um okay well at least an alien's dunzo bunzo dunzo bunzo um i think i've messed up a few little details here about how we how we get here but Brewis is freaking out he gets in the other elevator the boys run in with him they must not be on the top floor yet because they're like we need to go to the weed room

um and this whole time I think Brewis has been trying to fucking get away but it just he's just stuck here for the night um outside the little boys are like poised with their fake little weapons like oh man we missed all the action oh they're all gone what a bummer and then they look up at the block and they're like oh fuck and we see so many of them climbing like scaling the outside of the building. Like so many. Just fully climbing the outside of the apartment complex.

Oh no. We get to floor 19. Our goal. The weed room. And the elevator doors open. And we hear alien sounds at like the far end of the hall. So the boys are like, let's fucking shoot fireworks down at far end of the hall so the boys are like let's fucking shoot fireworks down at the end of the hall which is a great idea on the one hand but they do it and then

the whole hallway just fills with smoke so they can't really see so it's a it's a fucking super cool shot it looks amazing because there's like crazy lights coming from the fireworks it's smoky so they start walking down the hall um they have their weapons out but they can't really see each other and they can't really see where they're going we have sound sort of from all over the place like it's getting echoey we hear aliens we hear the the friends um at one point jerome who's one of the boys uh ends up getting separated from the rest of them and then sort of gets turned around and he can't tell where he is or where he's supposed to be going um this friends are calling for him but they the sound it's like again like it's just pure chaos um so pest realizes he's

with the group and he realizes like where the fuck is jerome so he turns around and goes back to try to get him again can't really see where he's going all of a sudden he gets grabbed on the ankle. We see that it's Jerome and his face is fucked up. And then Jerome gets yanked back. Fucking eaten by the alien. Pest is getting pulled with him. Manages to get away. They make it to the stairwell. Moses makes a look like turns around like he's going to fucking go after the alien for killing and his friends are like Moses come on come on come on don't do that don't do that

thinks better of it runs with his friends so it's like I feel like one of the first moments of us being like oh okay Moses is like learning uh from his mistakes a little bit he's being a little more mature a little more responsible okay slight. Slight character development here. This is what we like to call character development and growth. They get to Ron's door and they knock. So now we've got our crew

has dwindled down to Moses, Pest, Sam, and Brewis Biggs is still in a dumpster And we've lost Dennis and Jerome So

They get to Ron's door and they're like Ron let us in let us into the weed room And we see Ron's like He like opens the door and Crafty's like I don't know And we see from behind him That Hi-H hats is in there waiting with his gun drawn uh they so the kids eventually like push their way in and then high

hats was fucking waiting for him and high hats gives a speech of like this moses this is all your fucking fault you killed that thing You brought aliens to the block. And as he's giving his speech, holding a gun to Moses's head, his back is to the window. And we see like 13 of those fucking aliens all like in a circle around him outside the window. And Moses and the boys are like um hi hats fucking aliens behind you and he's like don't distract me like fuck no

um then the aliens break in through the window the kids manage to run down the hall get into the weed room and all these aliens fucking converge on hi hats and like tear him up it's oh gnarly um oh no for a movie that's really honestly not that scary those moments are like pretty gross

like every time a creature gets they're really brutal they really do it gross um so in the weed room moses is reckoning with the choices he's made um he says to sam like you know we never would have mugged you if we knew that you lived on the block like we would have totally left you alone and she says so it would have been fine to mug me if i didn't live here. Like you're okay with mugging like outsiders. And Pest goes like, geez, ma'am, he's trying to apologize. You're sensitive. Which is very funny. He's also kind of into her. And he's like, you got a boyfriend?

They're like 15. She's an adult. You got a boyfriend? She says, yes. Well, where is he? Because he doesn't seem to really be looking after you tonight. She's like, he's in ghana uh he's like what what you did in african men she's like no he's there helping uh helping kids um he's like can't help the kids of britain and like honestly making like a lot of statements about through these like kids you don't know what the fuck they're talking about.

Of, like, yeah, like, this whole, they're clearly this whole population of kids is, like, being ignored and left to fucking squalor. Yeah, fend for themselves. Yeah. Moses walks up to the little Dobby corpse that they've left in the weed room and he's looking at it and sees that it is glowing in the UV light. And he is also glowing. Like he's got like spots all over him, essentially. and Brewis who we learned earlier like took a zoology class or something

in college wait is he the one that loved National Geographic? Ron is the one who loves National Geographic but then Brewis was there when they first came in and Brewis was like oh this is cool I took a zoology class so Brewis goes like oh I'm not going to do this in the accent maybe i will okay um

it's like maybe it's like pheromones you know that's a female and the others are males it's like maybe they drift through space like spores and whichever planet the female lands on leaves a trace for the males to find her and breed like bees you'll love that henley like beetles like i love it um oh wow so that was so bad i hated that i did that i honestly i i loved it i think and also what a genius theory for him to come i know and it's fun because he's like so high like they they mentioned so many times that he is like deliriously high but it's a great fucking theory um so they're like hey man this is the best this is the best info we have to go on and so moses goes if if

they're drawn to the scent he realizes like everyone who got killed murked is what he says had that scent on them or touched the thing dennis drum they've been after me like if if they're coming after the scent maybe i can use it to draw them somewhere and they go to do what and he goes to blow them up and he goes i killed that thing i brought them in the block i've got to finish what i started that one oh man hell yeah hell yeah um so cut to probs and mayhem the little boys are up on a like little bridge there's like all these outdoor stairwells and stuff in this apartment complex. So they're up on one of those overlooks looking at the alien outside the dumpster where Biggs still is. I was thinking earlier about the actor who got that role being like, so for the whole movie, I'm in the dumpster?

They get to do fun stuff and I'm in the dumpster? Okay. So the kids are like they've got their water gun positioned at this alien and they're like okay, I'll spray him.

Probs is like I'll spray him and then you hit him with the firecracker and Mayhem is like what if we miss? He's like like we won't what if we die and then probes goes no one is ever gonna call you mayhem if you keep acting like such a pussy um so they start spraying it with the spray gun i'm like dousing it from up there and it's already sort of like annoyed that it's also I should mention and didn't before.

These things are blind. They have no eyes. They're a body and. Oh, OK. Got it. So, yeah,

somehow we discovered at some point they do not have eyes. So it's spraying and it's like overwhelmed and is trying to figure out what the fuck is going on. They shoot the firework at it and it lights the fuck up. They were shooting gasoline out of their spray gun and blitzed the thing to death, which is so smart. And they're fucking pumped and they're like, yeah right it's a block yeah and um they like are running like back into the block they're feeling like we're not scared of anything and then they run into a bunch of police officers who are like oh fuck and they run away and jump into the same

dumpster that biggs is him um and they're like, this fids out there. And they're like, oh, okay. Well, okay. Well, what did they say? I love the things. They have all these cool, like, trust, believe. Like, they just say stuff like that at the end of all their sentences. And I wish I could remember what it is.

But it's cool. But so he gets in the dumpster with him. And Biggs had, like, looked up and seen the thing on fire. And so he's like, you guys set that thing on fire? And they're like, yeah. And he goes, this is very sweet. He goes, it's probs and mayhem, right? And they're like, yeah.

They finally earned their nicknames. Cute. cute um so we cut to the weed room and we see that they have dressed sam in uh bruis's clothes he had like like multiple layers like the hoodie so he's she's wearing his hoodie and his pants and they're like moving the uv light like up and down to make sure she has no pheromones on her. She's clean. Moses gives her her phone back. And her ring that they had taken when they mugged her. And he's like, you know what you're going to do? You're going to go down one floor.

One, nine, one. Call me when you got there. And she says, you don't have to do this, Moses. And he says, yes, I do. So she goes out, very scared. They're all still in there, like fucking more than 10 of these aliens. And she, and they don't know if their theory is correct so she's like very like tiptoeing through the apartment walking past them and realizing like yeah they are not coming

after her they don't even fucking know she's there makes it out of the apartment makes it down to this is moses's apartment walks in calls him and sees when she walks in there's like pizza boxes on the floor it's it looks like it's the apartment that a 15 year old lives in alone and she asks like

who do you live with he says my uncle and she's like do you know like is he gonna come home while this is happening? He's like, no, he comes and goes, mostly goes. Like, basically, Moses lives alone. She looks in the bedroom and sees, like, the only thing on the bed. It's like a bare bed with, like, a sleeping bag on it.

It's like a Spider-Man sleeping bag. And she's like, you have a little brother? And he goes, no. And she says, how old are you? He goes, 15. She's like, oh, you look older. He says, thanks. So it's just like really sad.

Like we're not surprised, but it really reveals why he's this way. And like she is really starting to see it um so he talks her through he's like okay uh like she like closes they like opens these cabinets they're blocking a wall he's like turn on all the gas and then he's like now and then get out of the block get as far from the block as you can she tells him good luck um oh god we see up in the

weed room Moses has a backpack on with the fucking alien Dobby corpse strapped to the back of it so he's like essentially wearing the corpse like a backpack. And

sort of steals himself. They open the door. He shoots two firework rockets out the door as a diversion and then just fucking runs for it. And it's like in slow mo and he's like jumping over the furniture and running

out and it's really well done because they're like on his heels they do a good job of showing that this is insane and it's not like an easy thing that he has set himself up to do but he makes it down the stairs into his apartment where he like as soon as he gets in, he throws the backpack into the kitchen. All of the aliens run for it. He goes up to the window, which is like open. It's like a balcony. Gets a firecracker out, goes to light it and it like won't light. And he keeps trying to get the lighter to go and to light it, and it won't light. And he keeps trying to get the lighter to go, and it won't light, and it won't light.

The aliens turn to him, realizing that this is a fucking dead body, and start to go for him. In the last second, the firework, he lights the firework, and it just fucking blows up. Like, huge boom, fire, blast, smoke out the window. Your classic kaboom, you know, with him in there. Did he blow himself up? So we're outside. We cut to outside down on the ground where I mean, there's been a whole bunch of fucking commotion in this block tonight. So there's there's police everywhere.

Most of the residents are out on the sidewalk looking up like, you know, caution taped off, not being able to get close. They see this explosion happen. They're all looking through the smoke, through smoke. And they see Moses hanging on the side of the building, grabbing onto, like someone had like a big Union Jack flag outside of their balcony. And so he's like hanging onto that, which feels like symbolism. I don't know.

He's alive. So he manages, he's like right near another balcony, pulls himself up into the apartment. So he has managed to be safe okay um pest ron and brewis meanwhile make their way uh out out of the building they're like going down the hallway and it's smoky on their floor too and as they're walking up they sort of draw their Smokey on their floor too.

And as they're walking up, they sort of draw their weapons. They see some figures through the smoke. And Bruce goes, is it more monsters? And Pest says, sort of. And it's a fucking SWAT team. That is the commentary. Oh, of course. So they get arrested. Down on the bottom floor, Moses exits the elevator. And's the elevator that's full of like blood and dead bodies.

Nice. Cops are right there. They tell him, you know, put your hands on your head. He still, mind you, is wearing he has like the handcuffs. Earlier he was cuffed and they like snapped. His friend snapped the middle part. So his hands can be separate, but he still has the fucking cuffs on his hands. His hands on his head. We see all of them getting brought out of the building um past ron and brewis are all like resisting arrest they're like don't touch me and

like brewis says i know my civil liberties i'm a member of fucking amnesty which is funny brewis is also white i mentioned that right yeah yeah yeah Bruce is white but Moses is just like going quietly like not making a fuss very stoic it's like he fucking gets it they put them all in the police

van and Biggs who's now out of the dumpster is yelling at the cops like why do you always arrest the wrong people the police question Sam they're like don't be intimidated by these these guys or these the had they been causing trouble tonight she defends them and is like no these they're my she says a really nice thing which is like they're my neighbors they protected me um then we see the entire block, like the residents of the block who are out on the sidewalk start chanting, Moses, Moses, Moses, Moses. And we cut to inside the police van where Pest and Moses are sitting across from each other and Pest goes, Moses, listen, it's for you. And we go to Moses and he just listens, smiles, credits. That's the end?

That's the end. Oh, my God. Oh, that was really good. It's so good. That was really good. It's so good and like in rewatching it when it got to the end and they were getting arrested

I started to get it I was like oh fuck like this is gonna be one of those horror movies where it ends really badly like they do and what's interesting is like I do think the continuation of this story is Moses probably gets goes goes to jail.

Ornami's a minor still. But, like, I don't think he's getting out of what happened there tonight. He's an inner city kid. But what I really, like, what mattered to him was the block. He, like, talks so much about, like, this is our block. Like, I wouldn't have mugged you if i knew you lived here like they're like they cling to theirs so strongly so it is still a happy ending because the at least for this moment in time because the block fucking

loves him now and like he was like a sort of a shitty misfit at the beginning and everyone was like you bring problems everywhere you go and by the end that he like fucking saved the block, which is really. Yeah. He proved he proved to himself that he's a fucking badass. You know, he grew up. He realized obviously. Yeah, he's grew up. He's obviously very brave, much, much braver than than myself.

Much braver than me. He's brave as hell. Definitely, definitely would not be able to do pull off what he pulled off wait so i have a technical question did he kill all the aliens in that one fell swoop um i think i think the answer is yes um okay i think the answer is yes. There were probably 10-ish in actuality, 10 to 15. And he, I mean, he blew up that apartment. So I think, and he shot the, so he like probably honestly in the real world should have died as well.

He got blasted out of the window and was able to like cling on a few stories below. But they were all in the kitchen where she had turned all the gas. She had like opened the oven and turned all the gas way up. So they were like right there. So I think the assumption is yes that they all died.

Wow. What a fun movie. I really enjoyed hearing about that. It so fun it was riveting like i guess i mean it could be a horror movie a lot of children die i was like surprised in the rewatch like oh no they like they killed they died they had like these teenagers die pretty badly, pretty quickly. It's so good. And John Boyega is so wonderful. So wonderful. Yeah, I love him. It's like, you know, the film makes so many important statements.

And it's such good social commentary. And, like, John Boyega, I know, has know has been like extremely outspoken especially during Black Lives Matter stuff in this past summer and I just think he's really fucking cool and it was cool to go back and watch this movie again now like knowing more about him and seeing him in more things like what a fucking cool start to your career. Yeah. It's too bad this didn't do better. I'm really curious to see it now. I think it would be a really fun. I think you should.

I think he would like it. I think I would like it, too. I want to, I mean, I basically just want to see it so I can hear all those adorable accents. They're great. The accents are great. It's also, it's short. It's like an hour 22. It's honestly goes by so

fast and just gets like right in it. It's so good. It's really, really fun. Highly recommend it to any listeners. It is not too scary. It's a perfect early November movie as we have realized. Yeah. It takes place
