Welcome to Too 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. I'm Sammy, and I like watching scary movies, and I like telling the plots of them to everybody. I know.

To anyone that'll listen. To anyone that'll listen. There was a sort of variation on the theme there. I liked it. What's up with us this week? Well, I have some big news to share on the pod which is that i'm pregnant i really wanted you to wait until you had your son and we're just like oh by the way i have a child now by the way i have a son he magically appeared i don't know how. Yay. Oh my God. I know. Can you

guys believe it? I'm officially in my third trimester. I'm seven months pregnant right now. I'm due on June 21st. So a solstice baby potentially. Solstice baby. I know. We're cutting it really close.

Could be a Gemini. Could be a Cancer. Yep. Yep. Feeling either way. Feeling a little stressed about that, to be completely honest. I'm a Gemini. Jen is a Cancer. So either way, you've got great people to look up to. Turn to for help. Exactly.

And but the reason I bring it up is because last week I felt like everyone was had a lot of physical ailments that we were all explaining about. Yes. And I need to tell you guys about my latest physical ailment, which is so last week. This is so bad. I'm going to have to send you pictures after. Is so last week, you guys, this is so bad. I'm going to have to send you pictures after. Oh, no. So I moved, as everyone knows. And during that move, I wore the sneakers that I wear like all the time. But the thing is, when you're pregnant, your body like swells up and gets, you know, a little bit puffy.

And my ankles were a little puffy during the day, you know, rubbing up against the sneakers, like maybe in a way that was a little bit puffy and my ankles were a little puffy during the day, you know, rubbing up against the sneakers, like maybe in a way that was a little uncomfortable, but I didn't really think twice about it. Y'all I like, I don't know what the hell I did to my ankles, but they're so swollen. I can barely walk around. I have like straight up the distinction between my calf and my foot is no longer there. Oh, no. It's just solid. Like a tree trunk. I don't want to exaggerate or anything or be dramatic, but I have elephantitis in my ankles now.

I don't want to exaggerate. I mean, 100% not hyperbolic. But the problem is that... Have you been icing them? So we actually didn't have ice trays. So Tim went out and bought ice trays today, which is very nice of him. And I will ice them after this. But here's the issue, you guys.

I don't have any fucking shoes that fit my feet. Oh, no. So I need to buy some, like, Crocs, I guess. Yes! You've been wanting Crocs anyways. Oh, my God. Yes, you have to buy Crocs. They'll be so comfortable. You just slip your

tree trunks right in them. And... I mean, we're moving into summer. That baby is going to be a summer baby. You're going to want some Crocs. Breathable shoes, yeah.. That baby is going to be a summer baby. You're going to want some breathable shoes. Yeah, I think this is going to be a good way to go. Oh, but you know, I want to come out of quarantine feeling cute. And so far, not happening. Not even close.

Just wear a lot of long dresses to the floor. Yeah, that's not good. This is reminding me of, I don't know if you guys have seen the Simpsons episode where Homer gains like a ton of weight and he only wears muumuu. Oh, he wears his muumuu. Yeah, I feel like Homer Simpson wearing a muumuu. Oh, but you look so cute, Henry. Oh, thanks, you guys.

Anyway, I'll send you two pics of my ankles afterwards. I'm not sharing that with the wider group. Sorry. Sorry, listeners. But I will definitely let you guys know how it goes. Yeah, I would like to know. We're so excited for you and Tim Henley. Can't wait to be aunts.

Aunts. Our first podcast, baby. First and last? No, Henley might have more. It's very exciting. He's gonna love his aunts so much. He's gonna love his aunts.

All of his aunts. Anyway, what's up with you guys? I'm you know, not quite so much. I've just been listening to Lil Nas X on repeat. I think I've listened to it, I mean, a hundred times. I wake up, it's in my head. I'm going to sleep, it's in my head. I think about it all the time.

I made my mom watch it. My mom loved it too. This is the Call Me By Your Name music video that has recently been released. Oh, yeah. And so the like satanic panic that it is causing is bringing me a lot of joy. And I'm really on board with a new wave of satanic panic. And it kind of reminded me of this documentary i saw called hail satan that is all about uh the the church of satan is that that's what it's called i guess

um and about satanists and kind of what they're really all about and it's a really really interesting and funny and weird documentary so cool i'd recommend that and you know hail satan hail satan imagine being imagine thinking that the the worst thing currently in society is a music video featuring satan like imagine and imagine being like scared of Satan and scared of your children getting into it. Like it just is so far from being anything anyone needs to care about. It is mind blowing to me. Yeah, it really blows my mind. I think he's handling it all very well.

Lil Nas is like one of my favorite people to follow on Twitter and Instagram. And but at the same time, it's like got to be also extremely emotionally exhausting. And so I just wish we know you're listening. We wish you the best. And we really wish you the best. Yeah. Sending him a lot of support right now. Emotional support.

People are. Hail Satan. Yeah. a lot of support right now emotional support because people are hail satan okay yeah people are being so awful about it about like it's so homophobic it's like i've i'm honestly really surprised that the backlash has been loved this way to be honest i mean yeah it just is like the most vocal people are like conservative moms yeah i, it checks so many boxes of things that stupid people would be mad about. So, yeah, such a waste of time. Fuck them and hail Satan. What about you, Emily?

What's up with you? Not a ton. I first I do want to say a lot of listeners sent in help for me with my heartburn I talked about my heartburn last week I'm just really touched thank you so much it's nice to know I'm not alone I

am going to be taking on some of your suggestions so I will keep you posted I've started drinking like apple cider vinegar drinks which seems to be helping so that's that's fun um but mainly what's up with me is that for the first time in a year and two what a year and a month how long has it been um Um, I, I'm finding myself envisioning life after this and, and planning for it.

And it is very surreal. I can't do it without going like, I mean, who, anything can happen and I'll make plans for this time, but you know, whatever, anything I like,

but I'm, I'm, I'm finally doing it. Like it's gonna, it's happening.'s happening again barring any other case I can't like let myself just say like it's gonna happen but people are are getting vaccinated I have a wedding to go to not in like six weeks and it will still be a you know a lot of safety protocols and COVID and masks and stuff but like the couple is vaccinated i'll be fully vaccinated by then most people there will it's just like

yeah i can't believe that we are making it there and i want to give a covet like i had been having a lot of vaccine anxiety and a lot of i mean i'm anxious about everything and it's an anxious time so i i hope that I know that people are in different phases of getting vaccinated and in different parts of the world it's happening in different speeds and for everyone who's still like very much in the thick of it, even more so than we are,

I feel you and I know that this is a very stressful weird time, but I just, I never thought we would get out of it and I also never thought it would we would get out of it and I also never thought I would let myself uh look to another uh look to the future future right and that in and of itself comes with its own anxiety where now I'm like how am I going to do these things and oh my god it's going to get expensive and I have social anxiety and you know back to some other old anxieties but

it still is just like it's I don't know. I finally believe that that life will be different again. And that's just wild. Yeah. I got an email that Universal Studios is reopening on April 16th. Which is so soon. That's very soon. Probably a little soon for me.

But, you know, I've been talked before about how much i miss universal studios oh my god i miss it so much and i'm definitely gonna be going as soon as i feel safe too yeah oh it's happening my parents booked a flight to to come here because they're vaccinated and i haven't seen it's the longest i've been without seeing my parents and like that's just i can't i just can't believe it i can't believe you guys it is it's really crazy it's a lot to process and it feels like such a big transition i was reading an article about i don't know how you guys are i'm not great with change in general and it's very hard i feel like most a lot of people aren't humans or are like routines. And we've all now gotten into a routine of being home all the time.

And so going back out just feels really scary. And yeah, I think it will for a while until we've established a new routine. And yeah, it's going to be it's going to be a weird, weird few months. But it's exciting. It's scary. And it's overall be it's gonna be a weird weird few months but it's exciting it's scary and it's overall hopefully gonna be good overall i hope that it is good yeah i hope that i hope that we can we can all do it and keep you know yeah i just um who is this person who's going to be emerging out in the world? She's wild. I don't know.

I know. This is why I'm going to get a spray tan because I'm a different person than I was. I'm a different person. I bought cowboy boots. I don't know why. I all of a sudden decided I must have them. I mean, I feel like that was probably a good idea. I don't regret it. But again, who is she? I don't know. We're going to figure it out. But one day at a time, one day at

a time. I think everyone's going to be super weird at first. Everyone has lost all of their social skills, especially small talk social skills. I feel like that is gone for me. I do not know how to make small talk. I can either not talk to someone or I talk to them more than I've ever talked to anybody before. Like I either don't talk to people or I have complete verbal diarrhea. And it's like, here's my entire life story. Hi. Yeah. But Jill and I were on a walk the other day and we ran into a couple who we know and we've like hung out out with it's like that that tier of friend where it's like we're friends but we're not like close yeah but but it's the idea of like seeing someone out on a walk and i we i felt myself just like not know what do i stay do i keep going do i stop

and talk so i sort of did like a half way and like but i was just like oh my god i don't know what to do i don't i like literally don't know what to do here yeah it's gonna be a learning curve it's gonna be gonna be weird um but speaking of anxiety oh great let's talk about this week's movie, which is Climax, came out in 2019, written and directed by Gaspar Noé, starring Sofia Boutella, Romain Guilherme, Sunila Yakub, Claude-Emmanuel Gajan-Mall. And that's that's it. That's all I wrote down. I just forgot to say that. Great. And it's streaming on amazon prime and

this is a movie that i had been told was a really great movie uh since it came out and i have tried to watch it three times prior to this and always kind of gotten bored and um uh just wasn't in the right headspace to watch it any of those times i guess and yeah the other night i just decided you know what i'm gonna fucking watch this movie and i loved it i loved it so much i haven't stopped thinking about it since. I mean, it was last night, but. Hey, that's a full day. That's a full day of thinking. I did think of that. Yeah, I did think about it all day.

Have you guys heard of this movie? Do you know anything about it? No, no, nothing. But I feel like I've heard of that guy, Gasper. No way before. Because he's done other movies that have like sexual names. Well, he did irreversible,

which is a famous, very sexual. That's what I, that's what I was talking about. He did irreversible, which is a very famous, like rape revenge movie that a lot of people are very, it's,

um, I, I actually haven't seen any of his other movies. This is the first movie of his that I've seen. But Irreversible is like super, probably his most well-known. And then he did one called Enter the Void and one called Love. And Love is the, I think, most sexual one. It's shot in 3D and features a penis ejaculating towards the camera in 3D and it's

all real sex in it. Real penetrative sex. Yeah, I think I'm thinking of that one. That sounds like something I don't want to experience. I'm all for the rest of that, but I don't know that I need to experience

that in 3D. In 3D. 3D. No, as a viewing experience. Yeah. His his movies are usually pretty divisive. And this is actually his most critically acclaimed one. And he was upset about that.

He was like, I'm what did I do wrong? Like, oh, interesting. Interesting. Oh, he didn't like that people liked it? Oh, no. He's like, I'm not underground anymore. Not cool anymore. Yeah, I think he's maybe got a little bit of the Eli Roth mentality of like, if people aren't throwing up in the theater, I'm not doing my job right.

It's cocktail hour, everyone. it's cocktail hour everyone this week we will be making a classic red sangria which is featured in this film you will definitely need a hefty glass of this to help wash away all the terrible feelings you will soon feel after listening to this movie in order to make this drink, you will need half of an apple cored, skin on, chopped into small pieces, half of an orange with a rind on, also sliced into small pieces, three to four tablespoons of brown sugar, three quarters of a cup orange juice, third of a cup of brandy, and a bottle of dry Spanish red wine. To make the sangria, you add the apples, oranges, and sugar to a large pitcher and muddle with a muddler or wooden spoon for 45 seconds. Add orange juice and brandy and muddle

again to combine for 30 seconds. Add red wine and stir to incorporate, then taste and adjust flavor as needed. You could add more brandy, orange juice, or brown sugar at this point if you wanted to. more brandy, orange juice, or brown sugar at this point, if you wanted to. Add ice and stir once more to chill. Serve as is or with a bit more ice and garnish with orange segments. Cheers!

Um, I have some trivia for us. It was shot with a five-page script in 15 days. Holy shit! Which is days. Holy shit. Which is crazy. Fascinating. So it's mostly improvised.

The whole they had, you know, a rough idea of where each of the characters would go. But he basically let all of the performers improvise everything that they did. Wow. Okay. improvise everything that they did. Wow. Okay. The whole film was written, shot, and edited in only four months to meet the Cannes

Film Festival deadline, which is just so fast. Damn. It's a movie about dancers, and so everyone in it are professional dancers with no

prior acting experience except Sofia Boutella and Suheila Yacoub and I didn't know that Sofia Boutella was a dancer prior to being an actor. She was a dancer for 15 years and toured with

Madonna and I just also think she's like one of the most beautiful people in the world. Do you guys know who Sofia Boutella is? I'm looking her up right now. I love her. So are these dancers like ballet dancers? So they're all kinds of dancers.

Gaspar Noé, basically he just loves dance and would go to different underground dance scenes. I don't know. That's who I thought it was. She's an Atomic Blonde. Yes. Will you put that up to the Zoom screen? Yeah, maybe. So I can get a little

pick of what we're looking at here. Did you see Atomic Blonde? Oh, yeah. She's in Kingsman also. I've definitely seen her in stuff before. I didn't see Atomic Blonde though. I saw Kingsman She's the one with the like razor blade legs in Kingsman Yeah

That was the first thing I saw her in She's a badass It makes sense to me that she was a dancer because she's She seems very athletic In all of her movies that I've seen Oh she was also in The Mummy with Wasn't that Tom Cruise? You better believe it was Tom Cruise. You better believe it.

But to answer your question more about the types of dancing, I don't totally know. I don't know much about dance, but I know that there are like people, there are crump dancers and vogue dancers. And he just got a variety of dancers. They just went and scouted and found the best dancers that they could find. Cool. That's very cool. cool i actually i love watching dance yeah me too you guys like do you guys like that too uh the step up movies haven't i tried to get you guys to watch step up with me i fucking love step up oh sammy i guess we also have spent a lot of time watching youtube dance videos together i forgot about that um it's interesting because Tim like

is not entertained by it he finds it boring and I'm like I'm like how's that possible how do you find dance boring I don't get it but yeah I don't know oh I love it all I want to do is to be able to do it too I just can't I'm just like I just can't I know'm just like. I just can't. No, me either. Emily, Emily, Emily can dance. Remember when we all tried to learn a TikTok dance? We did. Yeah. I think it wasn't for my birthday last year. We tried and didn't really.

It didn't quite really do it. Didn't quite come together. It was the beginning of quarantine. We thought we were going to learn how to do TikTok dances. And, you know, then it was a year of just fucking isolation and depression. And I didn't really. It didn't really turn into TikTok so much but

you know so when it premiered at con six people walked out of the theater and when Gaspar Noé found that out he got mad and said usually 25% walk out of the theater he was like that number is very low

very low I'm not a fan of this guy um it is loosely inspired by a real thing that happened in france in the 1990s that i guess i'll tell you it's wait should you not to should it be a surprise i don't know i think it should be okay well tell us at the end because i do want to know the second or okay so the first scene is like this big choreographed uh dance and it took it's one continuous shot for about 10 minutes and it took 16 takes to get but they they but they actually used the 15th take. Wow. And the second half of the film is made up entirely of one single unbroken 42 minute long take.

Holy shit. Oh my God. That's cool. It's incredible. It's, I mean, that's, so I never made it to that part the first few times I tried to watch it. And I feel like that was when I was like, holy shit, this movie is amazing. I mean, it's so it's so visually cool and so much is happening and it makes it feel so much more like real time, which adds to just so much of the anxiety and dread that it's it's. Wow. I'm really curious. I can't wait to hear. It's great. And I think we should watch the trailer.

If you couldn't dance, what would you do? Suicide. What does dance represent for you? It's everything for me. Ça représente quoi la danse pour toi? C'est tout pour moi. La danse c'est tout pour moi. J'ai que ça. Oh, tu es tellement bonne. Tu aimes ça?

Je suis tellement heureuse. Je ne pourrais pas être plus heureuse. Oh, you're so good. You like this? I'm so happy. I couldn't be happier. Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!我我我我我我 我 我 我

我 我 我 我 我 我 我 我

我 我 我 我 我 我 我 我我我我我 holy shit doesn't it look great it looks oh my god i'm so excited it's very crazy i'm gonna have

to watch so many dance videos after i hear about this yeah i can't believe i've never heard of it or seen this trailer before that trailer was fascinating as so i'm so intrigued oh yeah i mean i i had wanted to see it for a long time and then i just never did and yeah i was figured it was i felt like the right time and i'm so happy that i that i did it i'm so happy that I did it. I'm so happy that you did it. Is it like called a horror movie? Technically? Technically, yes. I would say it's not really in, you know, what you would normally think of as a horror movie, but it's definitely, it's more disturbing than scary.

I'd say anyone could watch the first hour and the last half hour is... Hard to get through. Really tough. All right. Wow. I'm I'm ready yeah let's fucking do it let's let's go baby I used to love back to school shopping so much that I would tell my mom that I wanted to work at Staples when I grew up because I just loved getting all the things that I needed that I would use every day in class. I still to this day have nightmares about showing up in class without notebooks or number two pencils. Really scary stuff.

But luckily I wake up and I realize I don't actually need notebooks or number two pencils anymore. actually need notebooks or number two pencils anymore, but this fall there is something that I will be using every day and would be terrified to be caught without, and that's Raycon's best-selling everyday earbuds. I've been trying to go on walks every day, and so I need earbuds that I can rely on to listen to all my favorite podcasts, and I know you guys listen to podcasts as well so you know what I'm talking about. I got my Raycons in carbon black because that's my vibe but they come in other cool colors as well like forest green and brush violet but my favorite thing about them is the battery life. They stay charged for 32 hours and they have a new quick charge function. So 10 minutes of charging gets you 90 minutes of battery

life. Really freaking convenient for, I don't know, say a long morning walk, you forgot to charge them and you just need a little bit of juice to listen to one episode of a podcast.

Moment to moment. I want to I want to be able to picture it perfectly. That's really hard for me. But I mean, you guys could watch the dance part because it's like in the beginning. And anyone listening out there, you could watch the fucking cool dance because nothing scary

happens until quite a while quite a while into the movie which is part of why i turned it off so many times before watching it because i was like what is this movie i didn't it's like you're like where are the scary scary bits we need a scary um okay we start with a overhead shot of a woman walking out from a building into the snow in daytime. She is in tank top and jeans and she is covered in blood and screaming. And she's trudging through this really deep snow, screaming, crying. really deep snow, screaming, crying. She falls over and starts kind of writhing around in the snow and blood is getting all over the snow. She's leaving like little blood trails and she starts kind of making a snow angel that has like blood wings. And then she starts laughing, like maniacally laughing and then screaming again and turns back around starts

crawling again and then collapses passes out or snow and the end credits play and i was incredibly confused and had to pause to make sure this was indeed the beginning of the movie it says you have just seen a film based on real events that happen in france It's winter of 1996. And all the credits play. For how long? Like four minutes. Wow! It's very... And you know what?

I actually, from the first times that I watched this, don't remember the woman in the snow part, which is really interesting. I only remember the next part. Huh. So the credits finish and then we get a full screen text that reads existence is a fleeting illusion and then we come back to a tv screen playing audition tapes and it is a man and a woman interviewing potential dancers for a dance troupe that is going to be touring to America. And these are mostly French dancers.

There's one Russian girl, one German girl. And they're kind of asking each of them questions about what dance means to them. Each of them questions about what dance means to them. And there's probably about 20 characters in this movie. So I'm not going to say all of their names, just kind of some of the main ones. So one that we meet in these audition tapes, her name is Psych. In these audition tapes, her name is Psych. And she is German and basically says she's moving here from Berlin because the drug scene there was too intense. And her roommate, when she left, started like doing acid in his eyeballs. And she was like, it's just too much for me.

I'm trying to get away from that. We see this guy, David, who basically says he's up for anything, whatever they want to do. He's so excited to be part of this group. And then we meet a brother and sister named Taylor and Gazelle. And they like immediately have a very weird dynamic. Like he's like a little too protective of her they both are adults we find out later that she's 20 and he's 25 but he kind of is getting mad at her for being flirtatious and just kind of a gross dynamic dynamic i'm not fond of and uh the last kind oh we meet a girl named lou who says dances everything

to her and a woman named emmanuel who they're all just seeming very excited they're kind of talking about their previous drug experiences one of them says they like have done coke. One of them says they don't do drugs. I'm more into girls. Like, looks like there's some cute girls that are going to be on the team. And so they're just kind of, you know, young adults excited to go on this tour and maybe hook up. Are the drugs a part of their questions or do they just all all, like, does that have something to do with this troop? I don't know.

But they do, I think they do ask it as a question. But I don't think it's anything to do with the troop. I think it's maybe just to. Because they're going to be, like, traveling together. Or, like, making sure that people don't. Yeah, maybe they just want to make sure nobody's like gonna be a problem okay and so we meet a bunch of people through these interviews audition tapes and then we cut to the logos um you know the distributor and stuff and it says this is a french film and proud of it and we come into our first long take one shot and it says this is a French film and proud of it. And we come into our first long take, one shot,

and it starts like pans down from the ceiling into this auditorium that they're in and our first dance sequence begins. And it's very elaborate. It's about six minutes long, the dance. The take goes longer than that, but it's really cool. And I can't describe it any more than that. Okay, great.

A cool dance. It sounds cool. It's very cool. It looked cool from the trailer. I think that was probably the same dance. And they're in an abandoned school. So this is like the main auditorium. But eventually we'll see some kind of back hallways where there's, you know, like school bathroom stalls and stuff like that.

But it seems to be abandoned. And it's 1996. So there's not cell phones or anything. So they're just and it's like somewhat there's not cell phones or anything so they're just and it's like somewhat in the middle of nowhere and we know that it's snowing outside we saw there was snow through the door

but it's very at least from the trailer it's also very like brightly colored and it doesn't feel like scary or dark or like even though it's abandoned it it's not creepy. It's not too creepy, no. And Gaspar Noé, I guess, likes to do really neon lighting in a lot of his movies.

And the cinematography is amazing. And I think it was him that did a Gaspar Noé. I think he was the camera operator as well. So they're just using an abandoned school like as their rehearsal space or whatever okay yeah so they finish they finish this routine and fucking nail it knock it out of the park amazing and they're it's cool and it's cool it's very cool and they're all celebrating afterwards like proud of of themselves. And we meet Selva, who is Sofia Boutella. And she is the choreographer. So she was one of the ones doing the interviewing in the tapes. And she's really excited. And they're basically celebrating that they're going to be touring with this performance to the U.S. They're all pretty excited to go to the U.S. because most of them haven't been before.

And it's just a big opportunity. And so they start to party. And Emmanuel is she seems like in charge of the logistics of things. she seems like in in charge of the logistics of things she like says to someone i i i don't know what time the buses are coming tomorrow but i need to like figure that out and so i think she's just um a manager or something of the dance troupe and she made sangria for everyone and so there's two big like punch bowls full of sangria and she's like everybody have some sangria and the DJ's name is

or they just call him daddy and he was the other one doing the interviews so it was daddy and Selva and Emmanuel seem to be kind of in charge and David gives off kind of a slimy vibe pretty early on he goes up to selva

quickly after the after they finish the dance and starts kind of touching her um inappropriately and she says like not here not here i told you not here and he like kisses her seems like kind of into it, but kind of like embarrassed and like pushes him away. He goes and starts filling up some cups of sangria and he's starting to like hand them out to people. He goes to hand one to this guy, Omar. And Omar says, no, I don't drink. And he tries to hand one to Lou, this woman Lou. And she says she doesn't feel good. And so he brings it back over to Selva, who takes it.

This is again, this is like still the one take. So it's just this camera moving around this room and it just feels very, I don't know, rhythmic. I don't know, because they're all still dancing and like having it feels like being at a party i don't even remember yeah i don't know what that's like well it leads to a lot of anxiety for me great okay we meet emmanuel has a cute son named tito and we see her kind of kneeling down to him and he's probably five. She said he starts to try to drink some of the sangria and she's like, no, no, no. Like that's alcohol. That's for adults.

Don't drink that. He doesn't drink it. Taylor and Gazelle, the brother and sister, start to get in a fight because Taylor realizes Gazelle has a thing going with omar the guy who doesn't drink and he's like how long have you and omar been um hooking up and she's like it's none of your business and he's like it is my bit like you're my sister like i don't want i don't want anything anyone doing anything to you and like that's gross and again just being like really not normal brother behavior. Ew. Then Lou is sitting on a couch with Selva and they're chatting about Tito, the little boy. And Lou says,

I'm worried about Tito. This is like not a great place for kids to be. And Selva's kind of rolling her eyes at her. Like, it's fine there she's putting him to bed right now it's you know she's a good mom and we find out that she is like a single mom that was considering getting an abortion but didn't and they're like we're really glad that she didn't we like tito's great and well lose a little bit more like would you get an abortion like I don't know and something's going on with Lou here where she's like a little more she's asking a lot of questions and Selva's like I think it's good it's good to have the

choice to have an abortion don't you and she says yeah yeah I guess so I guess that's true she was the one who didn't drink because she wasn't feeling well. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Ah. And then we cut to a another full frame text that says birth is a unique opportunity. That one's real quick. Blink and you'll miss it. Huh. The editing in this is very unusual.

Well, some of them are just long takes i guess i guess that's part of his style i read that he likes either just long one shot takes or static shots and so then now we cut to a series of static shots um we go to emmanuel putting tit in bed. I guess they found a little dorm room type thing in this school. They've made a little bed for him, tucking him in. She's like, I love you so much. Just go to sleep. We'll go home together in the morning. And he's super cute.

And they just have a nice little moment. She puts him to bed. And they just have a nice little moment. She puts him to bed and it starts it cuts to black for like five frames at a time in between each shot. And so it's at first the first time it did it, I was like, was that a mistake? What just happened? And then it keeps doing it. And it's just a very weird editing thing that i've never seen anybody do before but it's it just kind of throws you off a bit i liked it um and so it's it's cutting between basically a little peek at each person at the party we see these two guys talking about how they want to like who they want to have sex with everyone seems very horny and well they're all i mean that's the thing about dancers they're all so hot i feel like it's like the olympic village like all

the athletes right fuck each other because it's like right you're at your physical peak everyone around you also is so i guess sure yeah yep and that is that is the case here we basically are just cutting in and out of various people's conversations about how much they want to fuck everybody uh the german sounds overwhelming yeah the german and the russian girl are clearly a kind of an item. The Russian girl's name is Ivana. And German girl is Syke. And they're having some sort of a fight. The German girl is just kind of ignoring. Syke is kind of ignoring Ivana.

And she's like, can you stop pretending I'm invisible? And there's some little argument happening there. Taylor and Gazelle are still fighting. And David, the slimy guy that hooked up with or that kissed Selva, is telling Omar that he fucked Selva last night and he wants to fuck her again. And then he's like, or I'll fuck the lesbian girls. Like, I don't care. Like, he's just trying to have sex with anybody. And this is like they just had rehearsal and then they're all spending the night together.

So I think they're supposed to be getting like picked up from this place in the morning to go on tour. OK. There's like couches and stuff in there. Maybe they're like staying in a hotel nearby because it's uh they're in the middle of nowhere and who else are they gonna hang out with yeah i guess my experience in theater is that it's very incestuous and so you just like only hang out with each other and you only fuck each other and you just uh that seems to be that checks out to me that they just keep keep doing that.

Yeah. And so daddy is DJing and there's a younger gay guy named Riley who is talking to daddy and about David, the slimy one, saying that he like once took up with them and he thinks that he can get him to like david is straight and he's like oh like i'll be able to i'll be able to get him like just you see and daddy's like i don't know like why not just try to hook up with a gay guy and like why do you have to make things harder for yourself riley's like nope i'm gonna do it i'm gonna hook up with david then we cut to another little dance circle thing people are people are getting more fucked up more drunk and they there's an overhead shot of a dance circle so basically everyone's standing in a circle and one at a time they go into the middle of the circle to show their do their moves do their moves cool and this scene is like seven minutes long of them just having a dance circle which was fun uh and it's like getting rowdier and rowdier and then

uh lou is dancing and she falls and someone else like trips on her and also falls and people like keep dancing and then kind of break off to just dancing wherever like breaking the circle and just starting dancing. Some sangrias are spilled on the ground. So like, I got confused that there was blood on the ground, maybe, but I think it's just sangria. But it's like all very red and red liquid and Lou looked passed out and, uh, and then the, the camera starts rotating and goes to a place where it's just hardwood floor basically. Um, and the camera's rotating on just this hardwood floor with sangria spilled

all over it. And then the opening credits play. Okay. And it's like this really fast like techno music playing and names are popping up like two tempo with the music. And so it's like really not enough time to read any of the names. And it's really made me laugh. But it's very stylistic and it looked cool.

And I was I'm into it. Cool. cool and i was i'm into it cool um then it cuts to black and we come back up on a hand with an empty cup dunking it into the punch bowl of sangria filling it up kind of pov from the person doing it and this is the beginning of our 42 minute long shot. So just everything else that happens after this, basically, just remember that it is one shot, which is just incredible. And this is where it gets intense. Yes. Wow. Okay.

So, wow. Here we are. We've arrived. I guess when the first half of the movie is just a lot of dancing. Yeah. Yeah. It's a lot of dancing. Yeah. Yeah. It's a lot of dancing. We're already here.

I'm not ready. And I didn't get too much into the conversations because it's very like verite kind of thing. And they're not really saying anything too important. But. Okay. So, yeah, we see it's Ivana filling up her sangria cup, and she goes over to Psyche and says, I feel weird. And as the camera kind of pans around the room, see that people are starting to look more fucked up and out of it. But they're dancing so hard. They just love to dance and get fucked up and out of it and but they're dancing so hard they just love to dance and

get fucked up and dance and some of them are do that they like have those like contortioning dancers that bend their arms around and like looks like they're breaking their bones so even just seeing them dancing fucked up is like a little stressful yeah and we see david talking to gazelle leaning against like the wall and riley decides this is when he's gonna take his shot and try to hook up with david because people are starting to look more fucked up and at first it kind of it kind of works he's like goes up to him and starts kissing his neck and you can see that david gets just a little caught up in how horny he is and is like into it and as riley's kissing his neck he like says something's kicking in and like people are starting to look like maybe more than just drunk and he like pushes riley away just like get away from me and starts trying to uh he finds Selva and we

see Selva like dancing really hard in the middle of the room like eyes closed like feeling her body and uh David comes up to her and is trying to talk to her and as they're starting to talk, we see Psyche walk to the middle of the dance floor and just pee on the ground, standing up just like. Never, never. Just pee. And they all just kind of look and laugh. And she doesn't seem embarrassed or stressed about it at all or to even know that it's not normal. embarrassed or stressed about it at all or to even know that it's not normal uh and selva starts she like looks at david and looks at psych and she's like what's what's happening what's happening right now and you see her start to get kind of scared and uh she's looking around the

room looking at everyone seeing that everyone else is also starting to kind of like look confused. And she like walks over to Emmanuel and says, what have you done? And Emmanuel says, what are you talking about? I haven't done any. What do you mean? And then she walks around, kind of looking over at everyone. And she goes up to Daddy and is like, Daddy, what's wrong? What's happening? And he says, we're partying. You deserve this. We're having a night of partying. She's like, no, no, something's wrong.

And she goes back to Emmanuel and is like, what did you do? Like something is in something is in the punch. Something was in the punch or in the sangria. And Emmanuel's like, I swear I didn't do anything like I drank it, too. What do you mean? What's in it already? This is such a fucking nightmare scenario. Oh, my God. This is why the first time I got high, I started crying because I thought it was going to last forever.

I'm like, I do not do well with feeling like a way I don't anticipate feeling. Things are out of control. Yeah. I'm really freaked out and we haven't even gotten into it. But I don't like this. But I also love one of my favorite things is drugs in horror movies. I feel like it's always referenced, but you don't actually see it enough, I think. Because it's fucking

scary. It's really scary. It's really scary. You remember that time I ate 25 milligrams of weed? Yeah. And I didn't know that that was a lot. That's too much. Yes. I can't believe it. It is so much. I can't believe you survived that. That was probably

the closest thing I've had to this experience that that was probably the closest thing I've had to this experience where it was just a very unexpected very unexpectedly fucked up oh god that was bad that was so bad and honestly doing way too much weed is like just as bad as doing way too much

of like any I mean obviously not like heroin or something but I mean like any kind of like hallucinogenic no but it feels yeah bad feels really bad it really does um so then they all kind of start realizing that they've been drugged and all turn on emmanuel and she's like it wasn't it wasn't me and they're like screaming at her like what did you do what did you? And they're kind of ganging up on her and seeming really angry and scary. And one of the girls or two girls are having a conversation. They're like, fuck, what do we do? Like, what's the antidote? And one of them says, if we find coke, like that'll help. And they know that one of the girls there has coke. And so they're like're like okay we'll just go find that

girl and we need to get some coke and emmanuel starts kind of crying and she's like i swear to god it wasn't me i drank it too like i'm like why would i do that like my son's here like this is so bad like are you fucking kidding like she's so stressed and so they believe that it's not her and they're like yeah it must be someone that didn't drink it and taylor it like screams i know who it is it was omar omar's the one that's hooking up with his sister oh taylor fuck you man and they gang up on omar omar's like it wasn't me it wasn't me and uh gazelle is like screaming it's not him. I like it's definitely not him. They don't care. They're all like fucked up. And they just open the door and push him outside into the snow and lock him out. Just so crazy.

What the hell? Also, why would people get like this angry? Do you know what I mean? I mean, I'd be angry, but I wouldn't be like murderous over this. I don't know. I don't know. It's people don't act normal when they're on drugs is one is. Yeah. I mean, obviously, that's yeah. I mean, again, they're not in their right minds. But guys, what about the routine? I'm guessing we need Omar for it. Yeah. He can't be frozen outside. Also, what about lou we've seen that lou actually in this time somewhere like walked to the she wasn't feeling good and went to go lay down

so they kick omar out and then they kind of all go back to partying they all throughout the night get like various degrees of having fun again and like being fucked up and kind of just going with it and then like getting scared. And the mood is just like constantly changing, which is very stressful. Emmanuel is, however, absolutely freaking out because she is on drugs and her son is asleep in the other room. And she is talking to Selva like what the fuck am i gonna do what am i gonna do and then uh david walks up and is like haha did you see uh do you see tito and we look over and tito is drinking the sangria no no and david's laughing and emmanuel like screams and walks over to him he's like no no no no you

can't drink that don't drink that like knocks it out of his hand and is is like like grabs him by the hand and it walks through the hallways of the school kind of looking around and finds an electrical closet with a key on the outside and puts him in it no no no and locks the door and he is screaming on the other side and she says like i'm doing this to protect you i'm doing this to protect you and she like she looks at there's like an electrical box and says like don't touch that that could kill you if you touch it don't touch that just stay in here no that is not a good idea it's not a good idea this kid is not okay this is not gonna end up okay i don't think anyone's gonna be okay um also i mean he you told him not to drink the sangria and he did so what makes you think he's not gonna to touch the electrical box? Yeah. Don't put him in that situation to begin with.

Well, she's on drugs. She doesn't know. Yeah. She's fucked up. And oh, God. Oh, no. Selva is watching her and is like, what are you doing? And she's like, I'm trying.

I'm trying to protect him from from you, from all of us, from everyone like this for his own good. Like, I don't feel like it's safe if everyone is on drugs out here. for his own good like i don't feel like it's safe if everyone is on drugs out here and then selva the camera follows selva down another hallway um each of the hallways is like a different color it's like visually very cool and she eventually gets into this room with or finds her way to the room that lou is in and lou is throwing up and she says did you drink it too like do you feel sick from the sangria too and she says no i didn't drink it and she's like well oh well so what's going on and selva's like more and more fucked up too as this is going on and like doesn't understand what is happening here and louis tells her that she is pregnant what does she actually says something is growing in my tummy and selva says like what i think she just doesn't understand and so she says i'm pregnant

and um she's crying and she says she doesn't know who the dad is and she doesn't know what to do. And Selva's kind of crying, too, just stressed in general. And this is all very overwhelming. And then this girl Dom comes in and kind of storms in and is like you also didn't drink and uh lou stands up and is like yeah i didn't feel good i don't i don't feel good um and dom's like you drugged us and lou says no i i don't know what you're talking about what like what do you mean and does i think at this point doesn't even know that that's happening and then dom shoves her and is like you fucking drugged us and is getting aggressive and lou like shoves her back and is like no like i just don't feel good like leave me alone

and then it's like escalating and dom's like shoving her back and selva's getting freaked out and says she didn't drink because she's pregnant. And Dom says, oh, you're pregnant. Oh, sure. Like, yeah, you're pregnant. Like, yeah, fucking right. And kicks her in the stomach what and storms out and she is screaming and screaming and screaming and crying and she's like saying call an ambulance call an ambulance somebody help me and selva's crying and then then uh ivana comes in as Dom leaves and starts to run to kind of, I guess, try to find help of some sort. And the camera follows her. So we leave Lou and Selva in the bedroom and follow Ivana. And then Ivana crosses paths with the girl that was looking for Coke. And then we follow her.

And oh, she at one point before this asked the girl that had Coke for Coke. And the girl said, I'm all out. I don't have any more. And now we're following her. And she passes the girl doing Coke in like a kitchenette area. And is like pissed and is like you bitch like i'd you said you were all out and uh there is for some reason a huge open flame on this table that she's doing coke on it's like a bunsen burner it's like not a candle it's like a big flame and the flame's just on it's just on it's like a stovetop for some i

don't know i don't know what it is but um but so they these two get into an altercation and she shoves the uh girl with the coke and she falls onto the counter onto the flame and she catches on fire what and she is screaming and then lou kind of storms in sobbing and like stumbling in and sees this and her eyes get all wide and scared and she doesn't know what the fuck is going on and she is walking back to the main dance floor area past all of this we leave that behind and she walks the girl still on fire the girl's still on fire and he's just like i'm not dealing with that keeps going passes the electrical closet where tito is just screaming and screaming and kind and said he says mommy there are cockroaches in here mommy mommy there's cockroaches and she sees that and just like, what the fuck is going on? Keeps going to the to the main room.

And she's asking people for help. And everyone's like now, like really dancing. I don't know why the dancing is like it looks like they just like can't stop dancing. Like some of them, I feel like don't look happy to be dancing. Some of them do. Some of them are just like completely in a trance and then some of them are just like look kind of scared but still dancing it's really weird and she's like going up person to person being like can you help me can you help me and then she

eventually uh finds dom the person who kicked her and like shoves her again and is like why did you do that why did you do that to me and turns to everyone and yells like she hit me and like shoves her again and is like why did you do that why did you do that to me and turns to everyone and yells like she hit me and like why won't anybody help me and dom kind of turns to everyone and it's like she didn't drink either like she drugged us it wasn't omar it was her and they all start gathering around and screaming at her too and she like shoves dom again and dom grabs her by the head and throws her head like onto the drink table and it smashes like a glass what the fuck and dom i mean lou grabs a knife from the table and is like swinging it like saying like get back everybody get away from me i'll fucking stab you i'll stab you and they're

all closing in on her laughing at her taunting her saying like do it do it and she says dom says she said she didn't drink because she's she says she claims she's pregnant and they're like prove it prove it prove you're pregnant and lou punches herself in the stomach three times very hard and then puts her hands in her pants and pulls them out and shows that there's blood now all over her hands what the fuck it's so fucked up oh my god that just like i like felt that in my uterus like i'm like in pain right now and i i'm not even pregnant sorry i'm sorry henley it's okay it's okay there's like honestly once you become pregnant there's pregnancy everywhere you look so it's fine oh god and so she's still holding the knife out and screaming at them to like stop and leave her alone and they start they start screaming at

her to kill herself they say what the fuck what drug does this to someone i'm sorry this isn't this drugs don't make people act like this do you you know what I mean? This drug is bad. Whatever it is, it's bad. It's a Donna drug I'm familiar with. Yeah, I mean, yeah. So she is she is like screaming for Gazelle. I guess Gazelle is her friend. As she's screaming for her, she takes the knife and holds it to her upper arm and slices her upper arm twice real deep. And then takes it to her face and slices her face while they're all like cheering.

What the fuck? Yeah. Oh my god. And then eventually this other girl, I can't remember her name. That's also her friend, like runs up and grabs the knife from her and is hugging her and is like, stop, stop, stop. And she just kind of collapses into tears and is sobbing. And then the camera starts following. We see Riley again trying to get David to hook up with him.

David like more forcefully pushes him away. All the like sexual encounters are so stressful because you just think they're going to all turn so bad in just a second. So any of these sexual advances, I'm like, oh, my God, sexual violence is imminent. Like, stop, stop stop don't do it don't do it but at this moment david just pushes him off but then he sees selva kind of collapsed on a couch kind of rolling around on a couch looking really out of it and grabs her really aggressively and she like kicks him off and stands up and starts walking out through the hallway and david starts like punching the couch pillows and like throwing a little tantrum and screaming and she she walks

out into the hallway and he again follows her and tries to grab her and she like screams in his face like this has all gotten out of control and gets real good little little screaming and and like pushes him away. And he eventually leaves her alone and she starts walking down the hallway again. screams echoing and she's like holding her head and the camera at this point is like rotating up and down in circles and it's very all very stressful and this is you could i feel like her most fucked up moment the come up if you will i feel like this is when she's like really looking like like she's becoming more drugged like the drugs are really kicking in they're really really kicking in and she bursts into this room at the end of the hall and just starts screaming and throws herself on the ground and kind of like scream dances and is at one point

like humping the wall and then she throws herself on the couch and then she's spinning around and it's like very it's a really cool scene but it just is completely out of control. She is just on another planet, basically. And she flops down onto the couch. And her dress is all high up around her waist. And she reaches down and puts her hands in her tights. She's wearing black tights. And she puts her hands in her tights and is smiling at it. And the textures

are maybe cool to her so she's getting all wrapped up and having her hands in her tights and have seemingly having a lot of fun with that and then she like lays her head back and looks up at the ceiling for a bit and after a moment like tries to move her hands and then looks down and tries to like push her hands out through her tights and thinks her hands are like stuck to her legs now and starts like panicking and she starts she like has the craziest scream. She's sure that her hands are melted into her skin now. Oh, Jesus Christ. I'm so fucking stressed. I'm so stressed out.

I'm so stressed out right now. I hate this. It's so stressful. And she flings herself off of the couch on her knees, screaming and screaming. And eventually, like the force of that, I think her arms come out and she like rips her jacket off and she's screaming, running down the hallway. And she runs into a bathroom where someone is also throwing up a different person. I don't know who this is. And she like starts scrubbing her hands in the sink what like really aggressively like washing her hands and then she looks up and sees her reflection in the mirror and starts

screaming like she does it scares her and she doesn't like recognize herself and then she starts running the tap and puts her head under the tap and like gets her whole head wet and is like shaking her head and like splashing water everywhere, like screaming. Oh, my God. This is such a fucking nightmare. It truly is. It truly is. starts walking towards back in the direction of the dance floor and sees Emmanuel at the electrical closet door, like crying, talking to Tito through the door. Tito is the pitch of his screams are so it's so intense.

He is screaming so loud and so he sounds so scared. And you imagine that this is like the drugs are hitting him now yeah because he is also he is on drugs locked in a fucking electric closet like that's fucked up horrifying horrifying horrifying couldn't you find a couldn't you find a better location than a closet than a dark closet i think she could have and selva walks up and is like let him out of there like let's get let's get him out of there and emmanuel looks at her and says i lost the key i lost the key oh no oh no oh no and selva selva like grabs her by the shoulders and is like go fucking find it and emmanuel's crying and runs off and starts like pulling pillows off

she's like desperately looking for this key. And Selva is sitting at the door, just listening to Tito screams. And she's like putting her hands on the door. Like it's okay, Tito. It's okay. And he's screaming.

So like such violent sobs that she's, then she's just like sobbing and she like curls up in a ball next to the door and is like, Oh, it's so horrible. It's so horrible. Oh my God. She's just that she just also starts crying so hard.

And so now there's just screams crying from all directions echoing in these hallways. And she eventually gets up to walk back to the dance floor area. And as she approaches the staircase, she looks scared of the stairs. And she has to really hold on to the banister to walk down these. It's only five stairs. It's a very small little staircase. And she's terrified of it. Goes down it really slowly there's also just

dancers sprinkled around through the hallways so there'll just be someone doing like really intense dancing in a hallway behind her and it just is very funny and adds to the stress of it all just makes it all feel very out of control and very yeah not right and so she walks back into the main dance floor area and david rushes her basically and grabs her like really aggressively and pulls her toward him and she kind of screams and five guys come up and grab him pull him off of her and just start beating the shit out of him and she just kind of watches as they're beating him up and kind of is slowly tiptoeing towards him to try to maybe help him but she also like seems like she doesn't quite understand what's happening and she's looking at them and they eventually they they leave him

and he's just on the floor all kind of bloodied and uh she goes to she walks over to daddy at the dj booth who daddy seems like he's having a great time there's a few people there's a few people who throughout this who look like they're having fun for the entirety of the evening we're just like hey fuck it we're on drugs we're not mad about it and so daddy is he's got a long blonde wig on now he's like twirling it around he's really dancing and she comes up to him sobbing and is like please help me please help me and he just like gives her this crazy look and smiling and he just like won't stop dancing to try to comfort her and she's crying and holding and like hugging him and holding him and like please please please help me and he just like nothing can stop his party just dancing dancing dancing and then we see over at the kind of snack table area this group of guys that are now painting their bodies with food like some sort of sour

cream dip or something some like white creamy stuff that they're like painting all over their bodies they've taken their most of their clothes off and they're just like rubbing this stuff all over their bodies. We see Emmanuel like crawling on her hands and knees, sobbing, looking for the keys. And as she is searching, the power goes out and this like backup red light comes on and someone yells out laughing

tito's fried and oh my gosh she just like completely loses it and like drops down and she's like i've killed him i've killed him i've killed him like he's dead he's fucking dead and selva is also sobbing like sees this and ivana comes and grabs selva and leads her uh down back to the hallway like past past emmanuel and they pass the girl that was helping lou she's now in a in a shower and covered in blood and is like the blood the blood and it's lose blood from when she cut her arm and her face it's not so much blood but she's just like but this girl's she's tripping and she's freaking out and so she's just like naked in the shower like scrubbing her body saying like the blood the blood the blood the blood oh god the blood there's screams still echoing in the hallways

about the girl who's on fire yeah I know what happened to that girl I had a lot of questions about that girl we'll get back to her eventually but yeah she's absent for most of the movie honestly if they want to keep kids from doing drugs they should show them movies like

this yeah you know this is like way more effective than anything else yeah it certainly makes it look very bad uh and ivana is leading selva back to like to a room and Ivana is fucking creepy. Her vibe here is like zombie-ish. She's like twitching and kind of like grunting. And it wouldn't make me feel good following her. But she then starts kissing Selva. And Selva at first is like, what's happening? And then i think gets caught up in the feeling of kissing someone and it's maybe a good distraction from being on drugs and so they just start hooking up and david eventually comes in crying his eyes like swollen shut from being beat up and he comes in trying to get selva to comfort him and she is like done with him and pushes him out it's like i don't want to see you like get a three head i don't want you in here pushes him out closes locks the door behind behind him so he's now out in the hallway

we see daddy coming like passing him in the hallway and going to lay down in a different room. And Riley is in there crying. And David goes in there for a second, also crying, trying to like talk to them and is like, Riley, I guess now he wants Riley to be nice to him. He just wants someone to be nice to him, I think. And they're like, get out of here. Get the fuck out of here and push him out. And he keeps crying and he's walking down the hallway. And then he walks past a bathroom where he sees Taylor and Gazelle having sex.

And they are brothers and sisters. Let me remind you. sex and they are brother and sister let me remind you and and he uh like runs and pulls taylor off gazelle she starts crying and taylor and david get into a fight the camera follows gazelle down she runs back to the main dance floor and she's crying and she runs past Emmanuel, who just is saying, I'm going to kill myself. I'm going to kill myself. I'm going to kill myself. And she goes to the main room, which is now again, it's like completely red and now the camera turns upside down for most of the remainder of this so it's like the the it seems like the gravity is not right i don't know they're all like laying on the ground hardly anyone is still standing they're all kind of writhing around on the ground flopping around has been outside this whole time? Yes. Oh, Jesus Christ. Yeah.

And Taylor comes back to, like, finds Gazelle and kind of throws himself on top of her. She's crying, trying to push him off. He's saying, I love you, Gazelle. I love you. I love you. And she says, like, not here. Like, please, not in front of everybody. And, ugh. So, do we get the impression that this was consensual sex,

even though they're on drugs? I don't know. I think it's more that it's happened before, for sure. I think it's like... I just mean, like, it doesn't seem like he was raping her. It didn't at first, but I do think that he has raped her in the past. It seems. I don't know.

Oh, that's so fucking dark. Jesus Christ. Yeah. No, thanks. No, thanks. Hard pass. No, thank you. It's bad.

I told you guys the end of this movie is not fun. So and then we're kind of like seeing little glimpses of everybody else on the dance floor. There's people just like having sex, like aggressive sex on various sides and other people just kind of flopping around. There's one guy that is the guy that does the contortion dancing. It seems like he is just like breaking his own bones. Like he is bending his body in such a way that his bones are like popping. Ugh. Then Gazelle starts having a seizure and starts foaming from the mouth.

And Taylor is like, Gazelle, Gazelle, no, no, no. And just has a seizure. And we just watched that whole thing happen. And she doesn't die, but it's very upsetting. And David has made his way into this room, too. And he is also on the ground crying. Also on the ground crying and the rest of the guys that were beating him up before, like find him again and get on top of him and are pulling him up as if they're going to slam him down. And everyone or the other guys are saying, like, do it, do it, do it. And we just see them slam his head down and it cuts to black and then we get our another full frame text says life is a collective possibility wow okay sure gasper no a french yeah

you know what i mean like an american couldn't fucking do this no an American cannot tell you that what was that life is an endless possibility or collective whatever collective collective even like an American can't say that no it would never come out of an American's mouth and then we come back up on the cops arriving

the next morning they're like open a door to the auditorium area yeah cuz one thing I guess is like who had cell phone service like did anyone call the cops or no cell phone oh right it's 96 I forgot that I forgot I had the same question and I actually saw that it was set in 96 and I was like why did they do that and because literally nothing is referenced about it and I was like why did they do that and because literally nothing is referenced

about it and I was like oh it must be to not have cell phones and also because the actual event that it is based on happened in 96 I need to know more about this actual event we're going to talk about that we're going to talk about that afterwards don't get your hopes up too much it's certainly nothing like this movie

oh okay um i mean which is good that's good yeah to clarify that's a good thing this didn't actually happen yes um and so this is again still all upside down and so we see the the the cops coming in with dogs barking and most people are um just on the floor you don't know are they dead are they asleep um psych is still dancing she is just still going for it um and we get then overhead overhead shots of everybody um and it does it seems like some are sleeping the people that were having sex are like sleeping cuddling up and i'm like oh that seems like nice for them they seem like maybe they had the best night out of everybody i mean better than some low bar but

yeah pretty low bar one guy is for sure dead choked on vomit and he's like next to a pile of vomit i mean not for sure but looks pretty dead but not someone we knew necessarily we spent much time with no and there's the two guys that were rubbing white stuff all over themselves and one of them is just scratching at where the like white stuff is on his chest and he's scratching so hard that it's bleeding and he's just clawing at his own skin. It has an overhead shot of this girl sleeping that then wakes up screaming and then falls back asleep. is back asleep um we see girl with a burned head in the bathroom screaming dumping water on her head still like she must have been in there all night long just continuously throwing water on her head screaming which is very fun to think about oh my god we see that selva and Ivana are just sleeping in bed together

you see David is dead David has had his head smashed Jesus Christ and we see Tito is dead in the closet overhead of him and Emmanuel is on the other side of the door she has committed

suicide she is in a pool of her own blood. Oh my God. Her wrists. We see Lou walking out of the now open door into the snow, screaming, still covered in blood. This is the shot that we saw at the beginning of the film. So we see her about to walk out, and then it cuts to another full-frame text.

Death is an extraordinary experience. And then we see a shot of Omar dead in the snow. Oh, my God. Frozen to death is a really bad way to go. Oof. Yeah, I mean, this night, man, is so bad. So bad. Then we see Taylor and Gazelle waking up in bed together.

Taylor says, nothing happened. Nothing happened. Don't tell dad. Jesus Christ. We finally see a shot of Psyche in her room with a book on LSD, dropping a dropper full of acid into her eyeball and fade to white. And that's the end of the movie. So I guess she was the one that drugged everyone. Yeah, I think so. So, like, LSD does not make you like violent.

I don't think. I mean, I have done LSD and I've killed many people. I'm just kidding. I'm just speaking for myself whenever I've done LSD. I mean, I have too. And I definitely did not feel. But I mean, like maybe if it's in your nature to be violent already. Or if there's like a once the seed is planted, like the group mentality mentality.

They did in the opening interviews. They did. One person, one of the guys that was beating up David did say that he had been in like a street fight and knocked a guy's teeth like teeth out. teeth like teeth out and so there was like a little seed of violence planted there that they are maybe capable of this stuff in their regular lives but yeah no i agree i mean a lot of this is quite extreme i've had a bad trip and i just wanted to like sit in a corner for the entire you don't want to you don't want to interact with anyone or do anything. The last thing you want is to be around lots of other people also on the list. No, no, no, no, no. There's nothing worse.

I've done it a couple times in college. And every time I'm like, I need to have my sober person so close because I need to be grounded to reality. I need to always be able to turn to someone and be like, tell me everything's okay. Because it really gets scary. It can get scary. You do go to a different fucking... I am so scared of drugs. to be like tell me everything's okay because it really gets scary it can get scary if everyone is you do go to like a different fucking i am so scared of drugs don't do it i have not done lsd and i probably never will um not even because this movie drugs terrify me i'm very very scared of

them very scared well this movie honestly feels like doing drugs. There was one thing that after watching it, I was like, I kind of wish I had seen this in theaters because I feel like I would have literally fallen out of the theater on my hands and knees. I would have had to, like, crawl out of it. Wow. That's an effective movie. I mean, that's what he was looking to do. Yeah. Obviously. that's what he was looking to do yeah obviously that the only other thing that made me feel that way was mandy where it's just such a surreal experience and unlike truly anything else you'll see i think this is a one-of-a-kind film wow holy shit so okay what's the real event yeah what's the

real event so i mean it was just it's very So, I mean, it was just, it's very anticlimactic. I mean, it was just that a dance troupe did get their punch or whatever spiked by LSD. But that's basically all that is known about it. I couldn't find the real event. It's apparently just Gaspar No way knew about it and remembers it see nothing really happened because if that ever happened in real life yeah people would just be okay afterwards yeah yeah it's certainly a dramatized i think that like if you're doing a shit ton of like pcp or something that can make you violent. Yeah. But I do think that it's kind of. Never done PCP.

I mean, all the times I've done PCP, I've gotten super violent. But I do think that it's like, I don't know. I think I find it. I think I find it a little frustrating that acid has been marketed as kind of this thing that's like so evil and bad for you. You know what I mean? And it's like it's not. It's pretty ben like so evil and bad for you. You know what I mean? And it's like, it's not, it's pretty benign at the end of the day. I mean,

it can be scary for sure, but it's not like that destructive of a drug. I mean, I, to bring us back to the weed, I felt just as fucked up from weed as I did from LSD. Right. Yeah.

And I've heard good things about micro dosing yeah that can really help people be therapeutic it can it can and doing interesting um psilocybin mushrooms can really help people too yeah but anywho definitely do not want anything like this movie to ever happen to me. No. Ever. No. This is so out of control and fucked up. I would be really fucking mad if I was drugged without me knowing it. I will say that. Oh, my God.

Like. I would be so upset. Yeah. No, no, no. But I would just go and like literally find a corner and not leave the corner the rest of the night. Like, that's what I would do. Yep, me too. I would not do anything else.

Oh, that's awful and also having the kid in the story like raises the stakes so much that really really raises this fucking stakes so high. That's really really not good. I don't like I would rather...

I'm never going to think about this ever again after the podcast is over. Block this one out, Henley. I'm fully blocking this one out, for sure. Yeah. But it's very well done. Well made.

Very well made. So if you can stomach it, I do recommend recommend it or you could just watch the first 15 minutes see a cool dance scene cool dance scene damn or skip it i don't i don't really care hey you do it everyone you do what you gotta do jesus christ we don't care yeah also another another we don't care what you do another thing. Jesus Christ. We don't care. Yeah. Also, another thing. We don't care what you do. Another thing about doing this podcast where I'm three hours ahead of you guys is like, I'm going to bed like right after we're done.

Yeah. Often now too. Oh, I got to have a palate cleanser in between you guys. Yeah. I did have some pretty weird dreams after this. I don't really remember them, but I had one of those nights where I just dreamt non-stop where you just are exhausted when you wake up because you just dream and dream

and dream and dream. I lived 10 lifetimes in my dreams last night. I'm having a lot of dreams where I'm getting really emotional in my dreams. Not necessarily sad, any kind of emotional. I don't even know.

It's my dreams have been wild recently. That's always interesting when you, when you feel that emotion, when you wake up, I got really angry in a dream the other night and I woke up really mad, but that was the day that the Lil Nas X video came out and it really, oh, thank God, turned things around. Hell Satan. Hell around. Hail Satan. Hail Satan. Hail Satan. What would you have done this past week without the Lil Nas video?

It's really turned this week around for you, Sammy, in a lot of ways. It really has. In a big way, yeah. It's been a real godsend. A real Satan send. A real Satan send. Maybe I'll watch that. That's what I'll do. It's a good idea.

It's always a good idea. Well, definitely no fun voices in this. No, we can do French again. Because we did such a good job. Such good French accents. Very good. I'm not even trying. Fair enough.
