Hi everyone, 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 am too scared to watch scary movies. I'm Henley and I'm also too scared to watch scary movies. I'm Sammy and I love watching scary movies and so I watch them so that you don't have to. And this week we are going to be talking about 90s horror movies. Ooh, now that's what I'm excited about. going to be talking about 90s horror movies. Ooh!

Now that's what I'm excited about. And one in particular. Oh sure, one and we can't talk about all of them. That would be absolute lunacy. But I also believe we have some haunted housekeeping. We sure do. Because we have a virtual

live show coming up at the end of the month. October 29th at 5 p.m. Pacific, 8 p.m. Eastern. We are going to be recapping the Pope's Exorcist with correspondent Paul F. Tompkins. And if you want to join us for that, you can get tickets at moment.co slash TSDW. We're going to be dressed up. We are going to have fun. Yeah. I can't wait. I can't wait. I know what Sammy's costume is going to be. I don't know what Emily's costume is going to be. I don't know what Henley's costume is going to be. I don't know what Henley's, I don't know what Henley's life is going to be. I don't either. I have a vague idea of what I'm going to dress up as.

Oh, amazing. Yeah, we are. Nothing confirmed. We are recording this episode on Henley's due date currently. Oh, pray to God that she comes soon. She's coming. One way or another, the girl is coming. I hope it's just the minute we wrap up this episode. Or during this episode.

That would be really exciting. Or during for dramatic effect. Like how it happens in the movies where your water breaks always in the most dramatic moment possible. I'm so excited for our live show. I'm so excited to do another show with Mr. Paul F. Tompkins. I can't believe we get to do that again. The gentleman. I'm really excited. He's the best. He's really great. What a great freaking holiday. What a great reason to all get together. I'm very excited. And if you can't make it at that exact time, the replay will be available for a week afterwards, so you can still get a ticket and watch it whenever works best for you.

Wow. Modern technology. I cannot think of what could be better. It's amazing. I can't wait. I hope you all join us there. I hope you do. And did anything scary happen to us this week, you guys? Okay, well, I have a feeling I know what Emily's going to talk about. I'm going to talk about something real quick.

Something actually scary happened to me. Last night, Silas was running around like he always does. And he was holding a butter knife. Oh, my God. Which obviously is bad parenting to begin with we shouldn't let him run around with a butter knife but it was like during dinner and we're eating and knife he could be running around with that's true of all the knives and it wasn't it wasn't for very long he just like pulled it off the table and was walking around the room with it. And then he, um, he had the genius idea. There's like an ethernet port in the wall and he went to just fully stick

the knife into the ethernet port, which, you know, we have, we have covers on all of the electrical outlets, but like, do they make Ethernet covers? I mean, I'm covering it with tape now because like that. Yeah. Is it the same sort of deal? Probably. I don't know. It can't be good. So Tim didn't have to. I had this reaction, you guys. Like it was not there was no time between him doing that and me having this reaction. It was immediate immediate

i like literally like lunged out of my chair grabbed him and like like grabbed him and pushed him off off of the ethernet port like when ross becomes superheroes briefly it's like you did that you like flung him across literally he was completely fine nothing happened I he was completely fine because you were there the scariest thing was me like flinging him away and he started crying because he was so surprised and scared that I reacted that way I started crying because I was also surprised and scared that I reacted that way. Like it all happened so fast. And Tim was like, oh, and so then I just like sat on the floor and I was trying not to cry.

And I was trying to explain to Silas, like, we can't put, we can't put metal into the wall. Anytime you see anything in a wall, don't put anything in it. Don't put anything in it. And he's crying. And then Tim is trying to explain it. And it's like, I was so just shaken by the experience because i hadn't crossed my mind that that would ever happen but it's like of course yeah i guess that's a thing can you can you believe that literally a metal knife i mean so many children's games are like fit this thing fit this shaped thing into the hole for the thing it's like and then we're telling them well not that one a lot of mixed messages very confusing and i really try to i'm like not the kind of mom who's stressed about those things usually at all yeah that one's that one's the stressful one that that made me i was like

now i'm like hyper aware of everything in the house. Cause there's also, they redid this house and there's electrical outlets fucking everywhere. And we've covered up, I would say 95% of them, but I'm like, man, I got to get to those 5%. I haven't covered up. They have, they're everywhere. They're all over. They're all over the house. Anyway, that scared me. Somebody was excited that house finally was able to be connected to electricity exactly they were thrilled oh my god you really do have to watch children all the time huh oh boy you really do oh boy you're about to have two of them double that double that you have

right now i also just don't i just don't like the feeling of crying when you don't have control over it. Cause I didn't want him to see me crying. I didn't want him to see me upset, but I like couldn't help it. And I was like trying to get it together. Oh, it was hard. Okay. All right. That's it for me.

Tell me about you guys. Um, yeah, I mean, something scary happened to me this week um and here's the here's the thing i we um i i found and decided to take home for safekeeping slash no plan beyond that really a lost dog and i am actually not in a place where i can talk about it so someday on the podcast i will tell this story she the dog is great she's healthy she's happy took to the bed everything's great it's like it's not a everything's fine i just like can't i'm in it and i can't you're emotionally attached you're fully emotionally attached yeah it's just like a lot and um like one of when i'm in the middle of like one of the most difficult decisions and situations i've uh been in as an adult um so

we're gonna talk about it when i'm on the other side of it yeah um but i will say that just before we recorded uh there's a 10 million sorry sammy mosquitoes in my yard and it is fucking unbelievable um and i we i do have this like mosquito spray For the yard that's like non-toxic for animals That you can spray you have to spray it at night But I was like oh I'll get it like prepared now So that I can spray it at night And it's like very much

I mean it's non-toxic Like I mean it's safe for animals But on the thing it is like Will contact poison control if this like Gets on your skin and I A bunch of it just like fl will contact poison control if this like gets on your skin? And a bunch of it just like flung on to me like right before we recorded. And I was like, I think I watched it off. But honestly, I don't have the bandwidth to deal with it.

So fingers crossed. Hopefully that's overly cautious. And it was the diluted version that got on me, you know, once you've already mixed it with water. So like, yeah, it's probably fine. So hopefully I don't need to like, if I start looking like boils coming on my skin while we record, let me know. And I'll let you know. Yeah, if we see anything.

Handle that. So that's sort of where I'm at emotionally. I hate mosquitoes so much. They're so bad. I really, really hate them. There was one in my house yesterday. And I think I vacuumed it straight out of the air. Hell, I've tried that before with flies.

I've like walked around my house like a lunatic with my vacuum to the air, like trying to catch flies. I'm very impressed. Yeah, I mean. It's not easy. It wasn't easy. And I'm not 100% certain I did it, but I thought I did it. And then I didn't easy and I'm not a hundred percent certain I did it, but I've thought I did it and then I didn't see the mosquito again. So it seems like I did, but you know, they're really small. So it was hard to tell for sure.

I mean, said it before, say it again. I've said it a million times. We got it. I think it's dangerous for us to play God except for in this one specific scenario. I completely agree. It's all, we've talked again. Well, we can't go down this road again. I mean, we can and we will a million more times, but it's like of all the ways we've manipulated our reality and our planet, it's like, I'm sorry, mosquitoes are the bridge too far.

No, absolutely not. Let's have a vote. Put it on the ballot. Oh, it should be on the ballot absolutely make 2024 even more contentious make it about the mosquitoes i think it'd be the thing that brings everyone together yeah you're right you're right the one thing i agreed with trump on it's a common enemy that's right enemy of my enemy sammy what happened to you this week um you guys already heard about it but just i had to take both of my cats to the vet this week one just for a checkup and one because he was having a stuffy

nose and sneezing a lot i also had a stuffy nose and was sneezing a lot no do you think you guys gave it to each other because sometimes i do do wonder. I thought maybe. And the vet said it might just be allergies and that cats also can just have allergies. Oh. So he went on a antibiotic in case it's herpes. Because I guess another main cause of runny nose in cats is herpes. Which sounds like, what? It's different than human herpes. But it is called feline herpes which sounds like what it's different than than human herpes yeah but it is called feline herpes yeah and it is just like an autoimmune little yeah thing they get they

get some and they get sick so we we we did 10 days of that and he is doing much better haven't been sneezing and sniffling which is great But then I took my other cat Mac and he, both my cats are, are very scared of everything, but especially the vet and getting in the car. And so in his carrier, he was meowing and meowing and meowing sounds I've never heard before. So scared as we're driving to the vet. And as we get there, I park in the parking lot and look into my back seat and it looks from my angle as if he's not in the carrier anymore. And I, my brain just doesn't quite compute it like this. He can't have gotten out. And if he had gotten out, he would be running around the whole car and being crazy. So what's happening right now?

And I look a little bit closer and I see that he has lifted up the mat of the carrier and crawled underneath it. and crawled underneath it. And he was so scared that he was just hiding himself as, as much as physically possible in his little carrier. Um, and so the vet said that he was so scared that we, she had to prescribe an extra medication. He was already on gabapentin because I knew he was going to be scared. And she said, let's combine it with trazido next time really give him the best chance of not being scared because he was so afraid that he was frozen stiff and wouldn't move at all at the vet whoa he was like playing dead he was so scared i don't need to check I'm already dead I'm already dead Awesome A lot of excitement Over here

How do you even get them Into the carriers It's not easy I bet they Obviously know what's going to happen So they're not going to go in I won't sugar coat it for you I do it by force

Yeah you got to it's not fun for anybody we're not having a good time do you like wrap them in towels and go like head down and make them sort of slink in like a snake no but that's an interesting technique it works you just sort of bind their little top legs down

and you sort of just put them in head first like a little like Like you're dropping in something into a bucket. Yeah, and you just sort of like put and then they sort of have to like get themselves righted, but then you've got the upper hand and you just, you know,

close it up. That's a great tip and I may have to use that because I really just shove them in. love harder if they're frozen stiff yeah oh my funny little guys so that was a little bit scary but we're we're all safely at home now and and doing great. So great. Great. It's all you can ask for.

Huge fief. Yeah. Big fief. Um, but should we talk about some nineties horror? Yes. I would love to. Oh my God.

Okay. I feel like nineties horror is a favorite of ours. It is. We talked about nineties horror last week, which, you know, we, I at least said it's not, not my favorite. In fact, it's my least favorite. And I'm sorry to say that, but it's the truth. And 90s horror is one of my, one of my favorites. I'm very excited. 90s horror. You

just got the, you got the fashion icons. You got the, the fashion Queens, um, scream Queens, fashion Queens. Also, we were at an age in the nineties where it was so we were alive and we could see the posters. And so I think there's something like nostalgic about it too. It's super nostalgic. Yeah.

But we were too young. I was too scared to ever see any of that. Absolutely. Yeah. But blockbuster existed. We seeing oh yeah baby vhs covers blockbuster and tv you couldn't fast forward through so you were watching those commercials those trailers came on and you try as you might, you were going to catch a glimpse. That's right. So, um, and I feel like kind of the,

the movie, the horror movie of the nineties was scream. It jumpstarted the genre after people were getting a bit fatigued from all the, uh, slasher sequels of the eighties going into, you know, Friday the 13th, part six or whatever. People were just getting a little tired of it. And Scream famously reinvigorated audiences everywhere.

And birthed kind of the teen slasher moment. And we've covered like most of them. There's Scream. There's I Know What You Did Last Summer. There's Urban Legend. And then there's, you know, other 90s movies that aren't teen slashers that we've covered. Oh, The Faculty is another good teen one.

Love that one. Other 90s movies we've talked about are Misery, Audition, Silence of the Lambs. Lots, lots of great horror movies in the 90s. But I wanted to stay with the teen slashery just because it feels like quintessential 90s horror to me. Yes. And so today we are going to be discussing disturbing behavior. I'm excited for this one. I am too, but only because everybody else has made that same sound when they've heard that that's what we're doing. And I don't think I know anything about this movie because I got no I got no frame of reference. I didn't know much either. And I was just looking for, uh, like teen slashers.

And this was kind of the only one that I could find that we hadn't done that I had sort of heard of promising title. Yeah. I don't know anything about it. I do know Katie Holmes. That's right. Oh yeah. It's Katie Holmes second role. What was her first? You know, it actually, I looked it up and I feel like I need to watch this, her first movie because the cast is crazy. Hold on one second while I pull it back up. Okay. So the first movie she was ever in was called the ice storm in 97 disturbing behavior is 98 the ice storm that listen to this cast this is crazy kevin klein joan allen sigourney weaver henry churney toby mcguire christina ricci elijah wood wait what oh my god crazy i've never heard of this movie i might have to watch it the ice wait toby mcguire and elijah wood in the same movie is they're like doppel not doppelgangers

of each other but they're they're like the type of guys you could get confused. Yeah. Yeah. Same with Christina Ricci and Katie Holmes. Yeah, a little bit. It's like, what's this movie? What is happening? Maybe that's part of it. Yeah, I wonder if that's intentional. Okay, well, we obviously need to watch it. Yeah, so bookmarking that, that's interesting.

But Disturbing Behavior came out 1998, directed by David Nutter, written by Scott Rosenberg, 1998 directed by David Nutter written by Scott Rosenberg starring James Marsden Katie Holmes Nick Stahl Catherine Isabel William Sadler and Bruce Greenwood who was just in Gerald's game that we talked about oh hot hot James Marsden too very fun okay so did you like this movie or did you love this movie classic Classic. A classic question. I really liked it. It was very fun. It's definitely... Interesting that it wasn't one of the options.

It's definitely... I think there's a reason. It's not as well known as some of the rest of them for sure. Okay. It came out the same year as The Faculty and has some... The Faculty kind of overshadowed it a little bit. Yeah, and I would agree that The Faculty is the superior film. But, you know, we can have both things.

Both can be... Yeah. We can appreciate... Don't make me choose. Who said I gotta choose? Exactly. Disturbing Behavior has a 33 on rotten tomatoes could be better 5.6 on imdb the budget was 15 million it made 17.5 million just oh yeah this isn't good also

yeah this is below average on imdb this isn't looking no but i think it's fun don't don't worry we're still gonna have a good time i bet we are katie holmes and james marston i'm in i'm fully in it's streaming on amazon didn't forgot to say that if anybody uh wants to check it out and the only trivia that was interesting to me is that there was originally a director's cut that was 115 minutes long and the final cut the theatrical cut ended up being 84 minutes long and the director was like very upset with a lot of the changes that happened and that's a lot of movie yeah it's a lot and there's definitely parts where it's like what happened here wait what um and he almost took his name off of it but then decided not to okay okay i gotta say though 84 minutes, I'm not mad about

Love it But if it needed More movie in order to make sense Well sure, you know There's just one part that I The thing that I Would be able to Deduce has been cut is there's

Flashbacks to A brother who's played by Ethan Embry, who I feel like at this time was a pretty big actor and he's never given any lines or anything to do. And so I'm pretty sure that was probably a bigger storyline in the original version. I wonder if the like, uh, studio or something had a problem with him. Maybe. I don't know know i'm just creating rumors also weird that that was the this was the same thing with reanimator last week where it was like random chunks taken out and you're like i'm just i'll just roll with it i

don't need to know about the plot you don't need to explain that yeah and i mean hey i um like emily said 84 minutes so not mad about it I can handle a couple Plot holes For the sake of brevity And because you guys don't You know know much about this Movie I think we should watch The trailer at the end

Because I think it has Some kind of spoilery things In it as well so the trailer at the end because it has some kind of spoilery things in it as well so the trailer won't be in this episode if you want to see our trailer reaction we do weekly video trailer reactions on our patreon at patreon.com slash tsdw podcast but should we just get into recapping this movie oh my god let's do it in the past few years i have hit a point where i only want to be wearing clothes that are comfortable it happened it happened to me but you know what i still also want to look cute and these are two desires that are often extremely opposing and i don't want to have to sacrifice. I want both. I want comfort and I want to feel cute and confident. And guess what? Skims has freaking done it again with their soft lounge

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. 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.

it's i feel like you know that's the the 90s we weren't past that yet and we wouldn't be for quite some time no we have we have a ways to go on that front no and also the scream franchise and the i know you did last summer there's so much like there's so much misogyny that's just baked in to the writing and the way they portray women and we're you know we know that sexualize them i'm me excuse me yeah teens teens we gotta see their boobs we gotta see their boobs well she's a teenager so you should want to fuck her and you know we're all acknowledging it and we're just moving past it yeah yeah that it that's it's just gonna be happening it's just the way it is uh so we start with a very crazy title sequence that has like weird graphics and flashes of

images it's like very very dated graphic style that just feels it like looks pretty bad i feel like just important to note because it sets the tone of the movie of like this isn't like high art that we're about to get into not well made copy that yep uh then we cut to our opening scene of a high school couple hooking up in their car it's nighttime they're at the you know lookout spot where teens go to hook up. Did your towns have that? Not really, actually. Yeah, I feel like people just fucking made out wherever they could. There wasn't like a spot for it. There wasn't a spot for making out. But one thing that definitely happened was people would congregate in parking lots all the time. Yeah. Like the Lowe's parking lot. Yeah.

Yeah. And I feel like people would also hook up in those parking lots. Oh, for sure. I mean, anywhere there's a bunch of teens, people are hooking up. Yeah. Yeah. Which I guess I'm on board with the sexualization of teens. It wasn't like a romantic lookout spot next to a lake or something.

It was like in front of the Home Depot. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Or like taco bell parking lot yeah sexy um so it's you know getting heated with these two hot and heavy and the guy his name is andy pulls back and says like, stop, stop. I've got a game on Friday. I need my fluids. Oh, okay. Girl pulls back like what? And it's like, okay. And sits back in her seat, puts her, she's got her feet up on the dash. And he notices a tattoo on her ankle. And he looks disgusted. And he says, why would you do that to yourself? And she, once again, is confused.

And he tells her that it is self-mutilation. Oh, boy. And she, for some reason, leans back in suggestively and says, self mutilate this fluid boy. Oh, no. Really? Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no.

I couldn't have written something better if I was trying. Really, really incredible stuff and she uh unzips his pants and starts uh presumably giving him a blow job and then we see another high school student higher up on the on the cliff like a higher vantage point watching this as if he has popcorn like this is something he comes and does and he's just like oh what's going on over here he can't see inside the car he just is spying a bit to see okay see who's hooking up with who and he's kind of laughing about it and then we see a cop car slowly approaching and inside the car we see andy slowly looking up towards camera his eyes almost rolling in the back

of his head looking very angry and creepy and then his right eye glows red, this is the guy getting the blowjob. Yes. Okay. And he snaps the neck of the girl giving him the blowjob. It's really very upsetting. And then he says, slut. Oh, my. The cops pull up just after this moment and they, you know, shine their little flashlight. He gets out of the car and there's two cops. One is talking to him and one is checking the car and pretty quickly sees that there is a dead girl in it. She has like a her neck is very clearly um jesus severely bruised and she looks

unconscious and so dead and so he turns and andy realizes he's been caught he grabs the gun off the other cop near him and shoots and kills the one by the car that has just seen the dead girl oh my this is really escalating he says again i need my fluids really he says that again yeah i don't think that's the thing you need to be worried about right now my boy and our the other guy his name is gavin the one that's higher up watching this is shocked by what he's seen obviously the other cop that is still alive calms down andy and gets his gun back and is not acting in a way that a normal cop should be acting he's just like all right take it easy take it easy and then he's like you go home like get ready for the big game tomorrow and i'll take care of this

and he he drags out the girl's body and so gavin has witnessed this now and has seen andy kill two people and another cop Seems like he's covering It up for him Okay so there's a town conspiracy To support and protect The football players You gotta support and protect the football players

Number one priority Most towns Yeah So Now we see the next day our protagonist steve this is james marsden and his sister are taking arriving to this town on ferry on a ferry they've like just moved there it's in washington and uh he's talking to his sister and she seems like she's pretty excited to be moving here. Like we've got fresh start. He seems a little more skeptical. Didn't probably didn't

want his whole life uprooted. His sister, by the way, is played by, um, Catherine Isabel, who is ginger in gingeraps. Oh, cool. We pretty quickly find out they like get to their new house. They're settling in with their parents. And we pretty quickly see that Steve is haunted by flashbacks of his older brother who has died by suicide this is ethan and brie yeah yeah and that's maybe part of the reason that they moved here and he's clearly very traumatized by this obviously and waking up in the middle of the night with nightmares and it just does a lot of like flashing of images of his brother, Alan. Um, and the, the next day is the first day of school of Steve going to the new school.

And in his first class, we see a classmate named Trent. That's like a preppy looking popular guy giving a presentation. It seems like an overachiever doing really well. And this punk looking guy comes in late. Dickie is his name. And he immediately picks a fight with Trent, kind of calls him a peckerhead, I think, or something like that. Sure. And they get in a fight it's just you know clear that they don't like each other Dickie's you know a bit of an outcast Steve is just watching this all you know seeing the dynamics of his new school

at lunchtime Steve is eating alone when he is joined by gavin who was in the previous scene witnessing a crime and gavin's best friend uv they're both like stoners and they say they just smoked a big fatty and uv is a the it's a very weird character uh the character is a person with albinism that's why they call him uv the actor does not have albinism and he also does this like very weird stoner accent i had to put on subtitles because i'm like i literally don't understand anything any of these people are saying in this scene. It's so bizarre. This feels deeply 90s to me. I don't know why.

Like, I couldn't explain to you why, but it just is. Yeah. Yeah. So Gavin and Yuvie are giving Steve the rundown of the different cliques at the high school, kind of like that Mean Girls scene where they're like, there's your nerds, there's your punks, and we're the stoners. Mean girls, 10 things I hate about you. Yep. Yep. The cafeteria scene. Love this montage. Me too. It's very fun. And a preppy looking blonde girl walks by and Gavin has a crush on on her and you know calls out hi lorna lorna's not giving him the time of day and lorna goes and sits with trent the preppy guy from the

beginning and alan the guy who just killed somebody the other night and all of these uh people in this friend group there's like i don't know 10 to 15 of them are introduced as the blue ribbons that's what gavin says and he's like the blue ribbons they're the um yeah like none of them are gonna give us the time of day overachievers, popular football players. Yep, exactly. That night after school, Steve's sister, Lindsay, has a friend over and they're all around the dinner table. The dinner table, Steve's parents, Steve, Lindsay, Lindsay's friend. Steve, Lindsay, Lindsay's friend, and someone mentions Alan and the friend gets confused and says, I thought your brother's name is Steve. And Lindsay says, Oh, I had another brother who died. And Steve's parents are very quickly like, let's change the subject. Let's not talk about,

let's not talk about this. And it's clearly really upsetting to steve and he's like he's like oh would you get in trouble if you talked about something someone in your family dying like clearly steve wants to be able to talk freely about this thing and his parents are not um giving them the space to openly grieve and really hard yeah and so he he storms off leaves the dinner table we see that same night dickie the punk from class going to a dock to what he thinks he's picking up a piece of equipment for his car or something and he instead is ambushed by the blue ribbons who all have baseball bats and jesus basically closing on him are fighting him we don't see what happens cut cut away okay so the blue ribbons are psychopathic and pretty disturbing. It is pretty disturbing behavior.

That's what I would say. I would call that disturbing behavior. Next day at school, Steve is called into the counselor's office. They're basically just checking in on him. We know you're a new student. We know what happened with your brother. We want to make sure you know that we are here for you and anything you need. And the counselor or maybe principal, I'm not actually positive, is called Mr. Caldecott. And he asks Steve, have you given any thought to the joining the Blue Ribbons? They're a great group, really. Oh, it's like an an official name it's not just like they're yeah i guess so oh it's like a specific like an honor society type thing yes okay it feels very weird for their official title to be the blue ribbons like they're like fucking prize horses or something Yeah exactly Weird

That's the weirdest thing about them So Steve declines he's like Or he's basically like I'll think about it Or something but he doesn't He's not interested Caldecott by the way is Bruce Greenwood Hot And so Steve

Leaves that meeting and he walks Out into the quad. It's I think after school, the all the students are every like all around the lawn getting into cars and we see someone catching his eye. He looks like, who is that? And we turn and see Katie Holmes. Oh, my God. Here she is. Here she is. Here she is. Here she is. She is standing in the back of her dirty old pickup truck with a NoFX sticker on the back

and in her little crop top and leather jacket. Oh, she's a bad girl. Heavy eyeliner. She's dancing around. Very interesting casting. Dancing around And So she's

She is not a blue ribbon She's not a blue ribbon No Whoa Oh my god Steve clearly Has a crush on her Immediately

She's a babe She looks great And Her vibe is very fun Gavin notices this And comes up next to Steve And is like, oh, that's my friend Rachel. Come on, I'll introduce you. They go up, introduce Steve to Rachel.

She's seeming very, she's trying to play cool, seeming different, but we're seeing that they might like each other. A little spark. I looked up a photo. She's, she's hot Gavin says Do you want to all Hang out And welcome Steve

To the town and Rachel says Sounds razor Razor Razor Sounds razor I've never heard that before Is before acting in any way traumatized over the death he's witnessed so you just don't all the time that's his way of coping yeah that's

his coping mechanism i he he is not seeming as stressed as he should be but we will see yes he will talk about it eventually but seems like something we should have probably talked about immediately maybe not with steve but with somebody somebody also can we just have a really brief break to discuss katie holmes and like yeah you know just really quick i need you guys to fill me in on what you know about her but basically she had that like whole thing with tom cruise marriage and child marriage and child and now she's in you know in new york lives in new york with her child and does she act is she like in things i think she took a big break but i feel like she was in something recently. Really? I feel like we all decided she's pretty bad at it.

And we're like, let's just let her. Is that what happened? Or was it a coordinated effort from Tom Cruise's? Squash her career. Yeah. Which obviously didn't work with Nicole Kidman. So I'm not saying it would have worked with Katie Holmes.

Yeah. She looks like she maybe did a rom-com in 2022. It actually looks like she's been kind of consistently working now that I'm looking at this. Scientology just made us not know it. Yeah, you can work, but no one will know. Or she's just, she's just what you said, not very good. So we're not. She really is not very good, unfortunately.

That's too bad. Yeah, I haven't heard of a lot of these movies. She was in Logan Lucky, apparently. I don't remember that. Uncredited, I'm seeing. I don't remember that either. Oh, yeah, I forgot she's in The Batman. The Batman.

She is in a couple of those. She's just a Fashion icon I feel like isn't she always in there She is indeed I do feel like I see paparazzi photos Of her all the time walking around New York With her child But I don't know anything else about her

So I was just wondering Must be very weird to have a child with Tom Cruise Did you guys watch Dawson's Creek? I didn't. I did not. No. I didn't either. I didn't either. That's another one that we missed out on. I could be into it.

Yeah, I'd give it a try for sure. I would definitely give it a try. I bet it's fun. I know the song. I know the song. What's the song? I don't wanna wait. I don't wanna wait. Oh, right. For our last chance to be over. Yes. song what's the song i don't want to wait i don't want to wait oh right yes pinnacle of teen wow i would yeah i'm interested i'm definitely interested in um pursuing some dawson creek time absolutely i'm re-watching the oc right now and maybe I'll do Dawson's Creek next.

Ooh, keep me posted. I might join you. I shall. Okay. I'm really glad we did that because I needed to. Yeah, that was good. That was really good. Brain dump.

Any facts we had about Katie Holmes. Yeah. You don't know enough about her. I think she's like pretty private and mysterious. But these paparazzi pics, aren't they usually, don't you kind of have to like coordinate them? Yeah. Do you know what I mean? You do have to coordinate them.

Yeah. I feel like she's setting these up. Is she the one that was just dating Jamie Foxx? Yeah. Oh, interesting. That was interesting just because I assumed he was friends with Tom Cruise because they're in collateral together. Right? Isn't that?

They are in collateral together. Such a funny reason. They were in collateral together in what, like 2011? Really weird that she would date Jamie Foxx 12 years after they were in a movie together. I bet Tom doesn't give a fuck.

No, probably not. But okay, so now we have our gang, Steve, Gavin, and Rachel are trying to convince someone to buy them beer at the local grocery store. They are not having any luck. And one of the blue ribbons comes up to Rachel. And clearly also has a crush on her. And he asks her if she would like to join him at the yogurt shop.

This character's name is Chug. Chug. Join Chug at the yogurt shop. Chug. God, that's funny. And she says no. She's not interested. No thanks, Chug.

I don't want to go with you, Chug, to the yogurt shop. I'll pass, Chug. I don't want to go with you, Chug, to the yogurt shop. I'll pass, Chug. And so he goes into the grocery store and he's buying some milk, some milk to Chug, probably. As he's looking out the window at Rachel, he's watching them and sees her exposed midriff. watching them and sees her exposed midriff and as if the the screen starts turning flashes of red it's like as if he's glitching a bit and he looks so angry as he's looking at her and like so they're weird like puritanical christian freaks they're like aliens it seems that impure thoughts are inspiring these moments of rage in them because his eye also glows that red imp impure behavior on the part of the woman like yeah midriff the tattoo blowjob oh i guess the blowjob was really what did it yep yep

Blowjob? Oh, I guess a blowjob was really what did it Yep He flies into a rage And just crushes the milk carton in his hand Milk explodes everywhere Didn't stand a chance against Chug No, and he turns and starts fighting with the people behind him in line Who are other teens

And I think they like accidentally bumped into him or something and he turns around and is like fuck you and starts punching them one of them has a septum ring he rips the septum ring out and officer cox the cop from the uh scene, Henley's dad. My dad. My dad. But it's not Brian Cox. I just want to clarify.

No, but Brian Cox is my husband. He's my husband. That's right. Brian Cox is my husband. This guy's my dad. That's right. Officer Cox once again swoops in and starts trying to calm down Chug and is not. But now there are witnesses. Yeah. And this cop is not acting like he's going to intervene in any way other than making sure Chug is OK.

And he does like separate them. He's like, all right, Chug, like, let me get you out of here. okay and he does like separate them but he's like all right chug like let me get you out of here so clearly officer cox is aware of what's going on doesn't seem too surprised by this disturbing behavior he's in on it so gavin and steve and rachel have witnessed this. It became a big commotion, obviously. And so they've gone inside and seen like, what the fuck is going on? And this is where Gavin, oh, by the way, chimes in with his theory that he thinks the blue ribbons have been hypnotized or brainwashed or something is going on because they're all weird and wait and what happened to the guy who was beat up who was that again Dickie do we just haven't we don't know yet we just haven't heard anything from him okay all right and no one's worried about Dickie. No one seems worried. And Rachel is kind of rolling her eyes at Gavin thinking like, yeah, he thinks they're all possessed or something and not taking it too seriously. But we have reason to believe something is indeed going on with the blue ribbons.

Yes. And no one's worried about that. Also, like, where's the girl whose neck was snapped? Anyone worried about that? I think that might be on the cutting room floor because no, nobody is. And it seems like that should have been a bigger storyline. Yeah, that should be the next day at school. It should be like missing girl. Missing girl posters. What? 20? No, 31 minutes. That's somewhere in the missing 31 i guess someone because when the dvd was released they included extras of some deleted scenes and so someone edited them in so there is a 104 minute version somewhere but not all of the deleted scenes were included so it's not the director's cut but it is closer to the director's cut. If anyone's interested, I did not watch it. Yeah.

The next day at lunch, Gavin takes Steve to his little hideout. It's like the school boiler room. It seems like they're underground, like where the janitor works. And there's like a cover to a sewer and just like machinery and equipment and stuff. And this is where Gavin goes to sneak a cigarette and hide out if he doesn't want to be in the main lunch area. And the janitor comes out of the sewer holding a dead rat. Okay. They're not paying this guy enough.

And he has a very crazy accent vibe thing that he's doing where he's like, these rats, the rats. He's screaming about the rats immediately. Oh, these rats are going to get in here. Waging war against the rats. And it's, it's very bizarre.

Okay. So maybe that's where the sickness is coming from. Are the rats infesting the blue ribbon? Christian rats. Puritanical rats gavin says rudely that the janitor has that boo radley village idiot thing going on oh my which is don't love to hear that uh and the janitor comes out of the sewer and he has this thing that looks like a boom box and he plays it and it plays this kind of sharp high frequency sound and he explains that this was supposed to kill the rats this because they hear different frequencies and it was supposed to or at least like help kill the rats or something but it doesn't seem to be working he's really frustrated

about it oh that's so funny it's hypnotizing the boys men are dogs uh and then as they're getting ready to go back to class they go back into the quad or the park the like driveway in front of the school and see dickie's car the blue ribbons are smashing it with a looks like a sledgehammer what the fuck smashing the windshield smashing off the mirrors and then

they part make a little path for someone to walk through hand this person the sledgehammer and it is Dickie and his hair is slicked back and he's wearing a button up shirt and a sweater vest and he is looking preppy as ever he smiles he grabs that sledgehammer and he starts smashing his own car

his own car yep death to that the version of me who had well it's like a muscle car so maybe they've deemed it like an inappropriate type of car still Ooh. Ha. Still seems like, just sell it, you know? Just sell it. Didn't look like a cheap car. Huh. Okay. So they see this and are confused and maybe now giving Gavin's theory

a little bit more thought because this is very bizarre that Dickie is now suddenly one of them when he just the other day clearly hated them. and very bizarre that a group of high school students are smashing a car with a sledgehammer in the parking lot yep yep yep yep yep quite disturbing she's on it her fingers on the pulse huh uh so they uh steve runs into the a group of the blue ribbons at the yogurt shop their favorite hangout after school and they try to woo him they're like steven come sit with us you're new to town and that must be really difficult have you been able to make any

friends yet wait and also to clarify this is frozen yogurt right that they're eating it's not just it looks just like a diner i was i was looking for yogurt i didn't see any yogurt but they do refer to it it must be like a like a soda shop yeah yeah it's like pop shop yeah yeah but just the idea that just selling yogurt is really funny to me regular breakfast yogurt it's just like plain yogurt uh gavin comes in and pulls steve away the blue ribbons are very rude to gavin gavin shows steve a picture of him and a bunch of other kids that are smoking pot looking like stoners having a good time and he says like take a take a closer look this is robbie and andy and trent they used to all be my friends. And they are now Blue Ribbons. And he's like,

something's going on. There's a meeting happening tonight at the school. Let's see if we can crawl in the vents and eavesdrop on it. And so they do that. Just like the rats. Just like the rats.

And this meeting, it's like a parent-teacher looking conference led by Caldecott. And they're talking about some students with behavioral problems. And they have a new candidate for the Blue Ribbon Program. Someone who is a C-minus student with A-plus potential who spends too much time smoking illegal substances and masturbating. And they point to the audience and say his parents are here. Please stand up. And Gavin looks and it's his parents and he's freaking out. They have signed him up

For the blue ribbon program Oh no how Humiliating for your parents to be like He's just masturbating all the time Gotta put him In some sort of club Just entirely Masturbating

So they run out of the School Gavin is freaking out he's like you can't i can't let the this can't happen this can't happen steve is saying why don't you spend the night at my house tonight and gavin says no it's okay i'm gonna go home i have a plan and he pulls out a gun and he says i'm gonna kill anyone who tries to take me to the program. Which is a pretty extreme. Why don't you sleep at my place tonight? Let's take a beat. Cool. Heard that that's

an option. Why don't we think about some other plan? It's so, that's honestly so funny to be the plan. You're like, oh, my plan? Especially when the people in question are your parents. No parents no no it's cool i have a plan my plan is to kill anyone who tries to make me do it inconspicuous

i'm absolutely thinking straight not extreme at all stream at all and so steve steve says like okay no steve of course is telling him you're acting crazy this is you're losing the thread here man he tackles him and gets the gun away from him and he's like if you won't stay with me fine but there's no way i'm like letting you go home with this gun james marzini a classic good guy is he bad in somethinghmm. Yeah. Is he bad in something, though? Is he bad in Westworld? No, I think he's good. No, I think you're right. He's good.

He's good. He's a dick in Enchanted. He's kind of a dumb... Like a himbo-y guy? He's a himbo, which I love a himbo. I got no problems with that. A himbo is a nice guy, as far as I'm concerned. True. So they go home next day at school.

Steve is sitting with Rachel andv at lunch and in walks gavin in a buttoned up shirt should let him keep the gun slicked back hair so you know he's now a real piece of shit and he goes and sits with the blue ribbons who welcome him with open arms steve goes to try to talk to him ask what the hell happened the other blue ribbons are blocking steve you can't talk to him now he's like he doesn't want to talk to you. And Steve gets in a fight, like punches one of them. It starts a fight and Steve is very outnumbered and immediately knocked down and being kicked by all of them. And Gavin stops it. And Gavin separates them. He's like, stop, stop, stop. And he, he grabs Steveve's hand lifts him up and smiles at steve and he says we shall overcome steve and then he knees him in the stomach and like continues to

punch him oh great uh they definitely like hurt him he's on the ground they turn and leave they're laughing they walk by the janitor kick over his bucket laugh at that that's not very christian call him the r word which i feel like that's another like 90s thing we're definitely doing that oh yeah and then steve afterwards goes down to the little boiler room hideout area and runs into the janitor there and sees something in the janitor's back pocket, pulls it out. It's a copy of Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five. And he looks at the janitor and he says, it's all an act. This whole thing you're doing is all an act. You're so smart. You're reading Vonnegut in your spare time? Because you asked Vonnegut.

You're not an idiot. You're not the village idiot. The village idiot wouldn't be reading Kurt Vonnegut. I'm not Vonnegut. Not Vonnegut. Oh my god. In your back pocket? So you can have access to it at all times You're a genius

And the janitor looks Caught He tries to keep up the act No don't the rats the rats And then he's like No you caught me All of a sudden he's British Puts on glasses.

Well, son, you've actually. And he tells Steve, you'd be surprised how interesting people become when they think you're very, very stupid. Oh, yeah, I like that strategy. I like that strategy. Steve goes home after school and walks into his house to see Lorna, one of the blue ribbons, sitting in his living room. He asks her, what the hell are you doing here? She says she's been tutoring his sister. He gets very defensive.

Stay away from my sister. I don't want you talking to her. Lorna's being very polite and nice. Steve, it's don't worry about it. She's up in bed sleeping now. There's nothing to be worried about. She's a good kid. Yeah, exactly. I just put her to bed and now I'm still in your house. And he says, where are my parents? And he says, she says, they're out at a meeting. It's just us. And she notices he's got a cut on his face from the fight. And she says, oh, my gosh, let me help you with that. You need to do something about that.

She grabs a napkin, licks it, and starts rubbing the open wound on his face. Oh, my God. That is horrifying. That's not medical. That's not how you do that. Let me put more germs inside your cut. No. And he asks her to leave he says i think you you better go it's time for you to leave and she says can i go to the bathroom first he says sure she goes into the bathroom classic

stalling tactic she goes into the bathroom and she's looking at him, his reflection in the mirror of the bathroom. She can see him in the hall and she's clearly attracted to him. She's looking like she's starting to have some impure thoughts. Oh, no. She starts unbuttoning her shirt and she walks out of the bathroom. Tits out. Oh, OK. All right. He asks, what the what are you doing what's going on and she says i'm not

exactly sure he says you need to leave she says do you not find me attractive at all he's like i find you very attractive that's not the that's not the problem and she kisses him and uh they make out for a brief moment before he sees her eye flashing red, pushes her back. It scares him, obviously. It's like, you need to leave. You need to get out of here. And she's like, you're right. This is bad.

This is wrong. And then it's like she starts glitching again. She's kind of twitching and she turns and she smashes her head against a mirror her head is pouring blood and she's going wrong bad bad wrong wrong bad bad wrong and she grabs a shard of glass off the floor and starts coming towards him with it like she's gonna attack him and he pushes her back again and she hits her head and it looks like something snaps like back into place or out of place. Something she like comes to her normal self a bit and looks really disoriented and gathers up her books. Her shirt's

still open and her head is pouring blood. And she says have to go home i have a big physics test in the morning oh my god wait do we think that she got knocked out of being brainwashed or we think that she just stopped trying to kill herself like it stopped the unclear but the next scene is her on an operating table with caldecott and a nurse like talking to each other i have i was unable to decipher what is actually going on there should have been more yeah scenes they basically say you know the the whatever they're doing to these kids they're putting some sort of implant in their in their eye well in their, I guess behind their eye. And they say something like when the pineal gland gets stimulated, the dopamine surge is like too much for them to handle.

And so we still need to refine whatever we're having here. So there's some medical intervention that they're trying to do to like make these kids perfect students. But there's a there's a bit of a yeah okay there's a bit of a problem with that that they so they're not trying to get these kids to murder people but they're okay with it they're seemingly very fine with it they're like it's worth it they do continue to do it yeah if they're getting A's, then they can murder whoever they want. That's right. Fascinating. At school, Rachel finds in a little hiding spot where they normally hide their cigarettes, she finds a DVD from Gavin.

And as she's walking out with it, this is in the little boiler room, Chug walks in and asks her again on a date and she says no so she's disgusted by him she couldn't be more disgusted if he was made out of maggots and shit yikes and he loses it and like pushes her back and starts taking off her clothes and the janitor is what is seeing this happen and not doing anything oh god too stupid to do anything can't give up the act i don't know he's he looks like he's debating doing something but he doesn't but then we see a rat turns on that little boom box with that high frequency sound wait the rat turns it on he's like just crawling on it and then presses the button yeah conveniently turns it on and chug is seemingly an excruciating pain from this frequency. The frequency fucks with their thing. Little chip or whatever.

It's all coming together. And so he looks like he's glitching and it gives Rachel the chance to get away. But we see the janitor clocking this information and he seems like he is clued into the fact that something is going on with these kids as well. Steve goes to Rachel's later that day and she says, I need to show you the DVD and pops it in. And Gavin is looking like his normal self, being like, basically, if he found this, they got me. And I'm probably hanging out with them. Like, please, God, I hope that's not the case, but that's probably what's happening.

And he says he had been looking into Caldecott and says that he used to work at this specific psychiatric facility and he hasn't had a chance to investigate, but if, but there might be some answers there. I got to say say it feels like another Uh thing in the in the 90s where it's like this young Girl was just sexually assaulted And like very nearly raped and she's

Just going about her day She looks like Um Traumatized when she first opens the Door for Steve like she looks Scared but yeah then like no Nothing as soon as they put on the DVD It's like alright and like moving on

That never happened who cares Not a big deal obviously for anyone So they take a ferry To go to this psychiatric facility While they're on their way There Steve opens up About his brother's suicide and is finally able to talk about it with someone.

And she's obviously very kind about it because he's the only one that needs to be comforted in this moment. Yeah, nothing else has happened in anyone's day. Absolutely nothing else has happened. If anything else has happened, we should day absolutely nothing else has happened If anything else has happened We should just not talk about it No So then they get to the

Psychiatric facility And this is Also a thing that happens In the 90s a lot where People with mental health issues Are just presented as like very scary And oh yeah like we're Walking through a mental hospital just being like Ah look at all these where people with mental health issues are just presented as like very scary. And like, we're walking through a mental hospital just being like,

ah, look at all these dangerous people, like jumping out that are like have disabilities or mental health issues. And they're like treated like jump scares and like, Oh, we should be horrified of this. There is one guy that this was a disturbing moment. He's just flossing his teeth.

They're basically, it's like as if they're going through a haunted house and looking in each window and seeing a disturbing thing. They treat yes. Mental illness and any sort of institution is like a haunted house. Yeah. Very good way to put it. And,

uh, there's a guy that's flossing his teeth so aggressively that there's just blood pouring down his chin. And I just like, yeah, I really don't like that. They find a girl in a back room that is singing to herself. And as they're in there, one of the orderlies comes out into the main room. And so now they're hiding in this room and she's singing louder and louder at their presence there that seems to be like how she's getting nervous as she's just getting louder and it's drawing the attention of the other

patients and the orderly and so katie holmes fucking punches her in the face and knocks her out oh my god katie holmes doesn't fuck around she needed to get some of that energy out after what happened to her it's very uh unexpected uh and then steve finds on this girl's bracelet her last name is caldicott so this is caldicott's daughter and first experiment yes and so we're thinking if he can do this to his own daughter this is a dangerous man they run out of the building scared as um uh harvey dangerous flagpole sit-up blasts. Paranoia, paranoia, everybody's coming to get me. It's a very funny. I'm not sick, but I'm not well. Perfect needle drop for that moment.

Steve gets back to his house and has a plan to like get Rachel and UV and Lindsay out of this town. They're just going to leave. They don't want to be here anymore. And it looks like he's about to run away, but his parents come down. They say, what's going on? He says,

we're getting out of here. We're going home. I think he's there from Chicago. So I think he wants to go back to Chicago and from the shadows of the house out steps Caldecott. And he says, you are home, Steveve and he looks betrayed you signed me up for the blue ribbon program his parents are saying we just want what's best for you like you've been having such a hard time here and we want we want

the old you back and so he tries to run out but all the blue ribbons are there and they once again overpower him. And he is taken to a medical facility where he's strapped into a chair. Looks like they're going to implant this chip into him. And the way that the chip is being, it's like slowly coming towards his eye. Giving every possible option for something else to happen. And of course we see he has grabbed a scalpel and is cutting through his restraints. And as the chip is coming towards his eye, it's also doing... So he's not sedated while this chip is coming towards his eye it's also he's not sedated while this chip is going into his eye okay awesome no he is not and while it's doing that it's also

having these flashes of like good behavior and american flags and saying like excellent be excellent be good like a brainwashing type thing. That's a very funny little montage. And he breaks free at the last second and runs through the facility. Not a lot of people seem to be working there. He knocks out the one guy, the one doctor that was in the room with him. And now he's looking in the other rooms. He finds Rachel, who is seemingly sedated for her procedure.

He gets her out of her restraints. Nobody in that room either. I don't think. So he's carrying her. They're running out and in the hall as they're about to get out of the building is chug. Oh, chug, chug chug hits steve someone gets a pipe

like breaks off the wall or something and as steve and chug are fighting rachel grabs this pipe and smacks chug over the back of the head with it and i think kills him okay okay he's all right he's well chuck was very bad chuck was bad uh they run out of the building and uv and lindsey are waiting outside in the in the truck and they say before you get in wait wait wait what's the capital of north dakota steve says how the fuck should i know uv says, cool. They're good. They're good. Let them in. They haven't been brainwashed, ribboned yet. Uh, so they're flooring it now. They're trying to make it to the last ferry out of town. They got to get out of here. And then they come across a line of, of all of the blue ribbons and Caldecott and everyone blocking the main road

out of town for this final showdown. And, uh, it's looking, looking bad. They're extremely outnumbered. And just as it seems like they're going to be grabbed and taken back to the hospital facility place,

the janitor pulls up. He hits Caldecott with his car. Oh, shit. And then he drives past all of them, and they're chasing him. And he pulls this tarp off the back of his car and reveals a bunch of those stereos playing. Oh, are they going to say a bunch of rats? I thought you were going to say a bunch of rats i thought you're gonna say a bunch of kurt vonnegut books oh that would be good if there was all three i would love that um and it's

it's blasting this high frequency sound and now all of them are glitching and still chasing him because they need to be able to like smash it to stop it and he's saying you know follow me and now this gives our our crew a chance to get away but steve says you guys go i'm gonna meet you there he gets on a little dirt bike or something and he's going to i think try to save the janitor from whatever situation he's in. But as the janitor was driving up, Caldecott was firing gunshots at him. That's why he hit him with the car. So Steve runs down or gets on the motorbike and gets down there before all of the blue ribbons catch up.

And so he's able to have a little moment with the janitor and he's like, let's get out of here. And he's like, no, we've got to kill them all basically. And Steve says, but maybe they can be helped. And janitor says they can't and neither can i and he reveals a mortal wound he's been shot in the stomach and he's bleeding out and dying and so he is going to sacrifice himself and he says to steve do good things lunch boy and then as the blue ribbons approach, he drives off a cliff and all of them follow and also like are like holding onto the back and all die and fall to their deaths. Wait, what?

Wait, couldn't they just remove the chips? No, there was no attempt made at that. I was really like, we did not even try to see if this process could have been reversed we're just like run them off just kill them all it's very funny that only reference of that we have is maybe they can be helped no they can't like how do you fucking know they can't because

i'm dying she's like how do you fucking know i wonder if that's in any of the extended cuts but uh so now we see caldicott is is still alive and like looking pretty on his last leg but there's one final little showdown between steve and caldicott where he's saying like it's over for you caldicott they're all dead now and caldicott says there will be other towns with other troubled teens and other worried parents. And then he says, science is God. Kind of a, didn't see that line coming. Didn't know that was his philosophy. Philosophy.

Yeah, I was a little surprised by that. Okay. But Steve wins this fight, knocks caldecott off the cliff as well he oh my god this cliff is really doing a lot for this movie yeah yeah and then steve hops back on the little dirt bike thing and zooms through town and and launches himself onto the ferry which is already taking off so he has to get air on the motorbike to land on the ferry. It's really funny. Heart completely wipes out. He does not, he does not make the landing, but he gets onto the boat. Okay. Uh, him and Rachel kiss. And there's basically like we did it and i oh he's like now we can stay here because they're all

dead so we don't need to leave town anymore it's all over and we're feeling a big few until we cut to another classroom this is now a classroom of like mostly black kids and people of color and just as kind of a stereotype happening here as well where they're like listening to loud music in class and being unruly and the teacher is trying to get their attention turns off the music and says class your new student teacher is here everybody quiet down and in walks gavin and he writes go forward on the board and he's like hello class i can't wait to um to help you all and his eye flashes red and that's the end of the movie wow they really wanted to make a disturbing behavior too they really wanted to make it disturbing behavior, too. They really wanted to make sure. They really, really did. And the world didn't want it.

The world said no. I think we're ready now. Let's get Katie Holmes back. Oh, my God. Neve Campbell style. Disturbing behavior 30 years later. Sounds razor. Sounds razor to me.

Sounds razor to me. Wow. But I did like this like last little, I mean, I guess I think of this as the thesis of the movie. It's just because I've just worked on a documentary about the troubled teen industry. And so I liked that tie in of like there will be other troubled teens and other worried parents. And that's a real industry that happened in the late nineties and early two thousands where these companies would exploit parents fear to be able to be like, yeah, your kids are really bad. And the only way they can be better is if you give them to us and we do all these horrible things to them. And so I just, um, yeah, I didn't. And that was in the nineties, right? Yeah. Yeah. Nineties in like

early two thousands. So I thought it was kind of cool that that was what this was making into the horror of that, of this film, because it is a really horrifying thing that did happen. Yeah, that's true. Wow. Um, but I had a good time. It's a very silly movie. Yeah. It sounds very silly. It does sound very silly. And it also sounds so similar to The Faculty in a lot of ways. And it's so funny that they came out. How does the movie industry continue to do this all the time? Just making like doppelgangers of each other and having them release the same year.

Something's in the air. Disturbing Behavior. I can't wait to watch the trailer for this one. This is what I'm really excited to see the trailer for. I need to see her. And James Marsden. You really do. The 90s were a
