You know I love Magic Mike
We watched the Lost City Same But we watched The Lost City.
Same way I watched The Lost City last night.
So fun.
Guys, go see it.
It's just freaking fun.
We're just having a fun time.
Marcy Jaro, who is a guest for one of our episodes, has a moment in it.
She's very funny.
Everyone in it is very funny and great. And Tinny tatum is just like such a movie star
he's just such a movie star and it's you know it's interesting he is clearly a very handsome
man like he his whole deal in like all his movies is like whoa like this hunky guy
i it doesn't do his vibe is not for me like that it's very it's like a very jock vibe I feel it's
a very jock vibe and it's a very like but he's also not afraid to be a big dork which is I love
I love that I love that mainly it's like the way he chooses to like dress in real life like his big
stupid hats I just think looks so like he has like I haven't seen the big hats big pants big
hats big pants and I'm just like not it's not for me but um but
in movies i find him so compelling in the one scene in the last city they were like dancing
and oh my god simmy were you being made to feel so many things while they were dancing
because i was not to harp on this again but the movie step up i know it's wall-to-wall channing tatum dancing i know
i know i you know i love magic mike which is also wall-to-wall channing tatum dancing but it was
just like oh god i just i just really love him and i just think he's so talented and it's fun
to watch somebody really talented just like light up the screen and then then when they're leaving the movie you reminded
me sammy that he freaking dates zoe kravitz and i was just like oh my god oh my god two fucking
sexy talented people finding love finding love having a great time like just like wow i forgot i forgot there are they wait i'm they are together
my jaw is on the ground most importantly sexually they're together sexually
jason momoa posted a photo with channing tatum at the premiere of the batman like they're friends
they're they're they like are friends with each other they know each other's families it's that serious oh my god my i mean i mean
oh i mean i'm speechless i know i'm speechless it's remarkable and i'm just thinking i'm just
for them thrilled for them i'm thrilled for us that we live in this world of theirs.
It's their world.
We're just living in it.
And I am thrilled.
I'm thrilled.
And I can't stop thinking about it.
Yeah.
And another thing I'm thrilled about.
Minx on HBO.
Oh, yeah.
So delightful.
Loving it. So delightful delightful love the 70s love the porn
feeling that is happening there love oscar montoya what a star but really what i really
want to talk about about it is how many penises they show so many penises so many penises. So many penises.
And in the same way that we are bombarded
with breasts in everything,
female full frontal is like,
it's nothing.
It just...
Standard.
Standard.
Set dressing.
It's just like,
we just are seeing tits
left and right,
everything you watch.
And it's just like,
yeah, whatever, whatever.
They do that same thing, but with penises.
And it is astounding.
It's astounding.
It is such a choice.
There's one scene where it's a bunch of men in a shower,
and they all turn and fully face front to camera.
But it's just not a thing.
It's just like, well, they're naked,
and so they're turning around, and we're seeing their bodies, but it's just like not a thing. It's just like, well, they're naked. And so they're turning around and we're seeing their bodies.
And but it also is so clearly a thing.
They're there.
It's so intentional.
They show up being like, look at these penises, look at these penises, look at these penises.
Because you just never do.
And I just fucking love that they do that.
I just love it.
And I informed Emily that a similar
thing happens in Euphoria.
That's true.
But I think the tone is
very different. I think you're
right. Well, I listened to an
interview with Jake Johnson.
Whenever I say that, I'm like, that can't be
right. That can't be a real name.
I always feel that way, too. I love him so
much. John Jackson, John Jackson,
Jake Johnson. Johnson is
the most charming
person in the world. He's so
charming. Oh, my God. What an absolute
star. Yeah, his interviews are also so fun
because he's equally charming in interviews
and, you know, sometimes you listen to interviews
and like you just feel a little uncomfortable
because you just don't really know what to expect.
He comes in guns a blazing, like so comfortable, so funny.
He puts you at ease right away.
Right away.
I believe it.
I believe it.
and attracted to this character is because the man in Minx who he's playing basically sees a corner of the market that or sees a part of the market that hasn't been cornered yet.
Like the idea that you could be profit off of penises, basically, and that women will
want to see them. And he loved the idea of turning the idea on its head of like,
you know, usually it's women who are the objects well like let's
see what it's like for men to be the objects for once and it's just crazy how or it's 2022 and
this is like a new idea you know what i mean like why aren't we seeing more penises like i want to
see it yes i love that it like yes obviously the part of the storyline is objectifying the male
body it's like they keep calling it the female gaze,
right? So it's like, you know, porn for
women. But I also
love how often it's just like
just a penis
as a part of a body.
Totally. Just like a naked man. Just also
being like, because we are just like
assaulted by
naked women all the time. And don't get
me wrong. I like to look at a naked woman as well.
Just like any warm-blooded human being.
But just being like, it's not a big deal.
It's not a big deal.
It's just a penis.
Here's a naked man.
And we're not going to like...
Because TV shows always like when there is a naked man,
you don't ever see the penis.
It's like he stands in front of a thing or his leg is in the way.
It's a sacred thing that cannot be seen.
Are you fucking kidding me?
Yes.
Let's see him.
And let's see him.
And we see just so many.
So many.
And I fucking love it.
So.
Great.
Hell yeah.
Hell yeah.
Guys, watch Minx on HBObo go watch minx on hbo and what did anything scary happen to you guys this week i had like similarly what you were
talking about uh someone being so talented was i saw everything everywhere all at once oh yeah and
the daniels that the directing team that directed that i just think
they're like so unbelievably talented that it like makes me feel bad just not i don't think
the intended no i absolutely know what you mean but it just is like oh oh, man, like I can never do that.
That's a high bar.
I don't want to be a director.
Let me also throw that in.
But it's just like I'm a creative individual. And so it's like seeing someone creating things that are just like I think perfect pieces of media is just it's it's really, really wonderful and cool to see.
And then also makes me feel inadequate
sometimes yeah because there's like a difference between
being good at something
and being like a
literal genius and so
yeah when you see
someone who's a literal genius it
really makes you see the gap
between what
you have and are capable of
and what is capable, like what is possible
and just being like, oh, I'm not.
Oh, I'm not.
Which in a way, what a relief, right?
Can you imagine being that gifted?
Like, for example, like how Channing Tatum must feel.
Setting that bar for yourself.
Channing Tatum and the Daniels.
That's a lot to hang on to
you know like we thought like we were talking about
this with Inside with Bo Burnham just being like
oh my god how can a person like
what to create that to be
capable of that
it would just be so much
it just was so much inside your brain
and so and then like so
it's a lot it's a lot genius
is a burden thank god i am not one you're
stupid i love my little brain there is something that's kind of a relief about accepting that
though right i feel like oh god yeah like oh we don't have to i don't need to be ambitious in
that way no thank you no thank you yeah it's a scary feeling when you like see it and you get that little moment of being like do i need to make a movie this good
even though that's not even my career like i'll have a like moment of being like oh fuck fuck
fuck fuck yep yep is it just in theaters right now or can you stream it it's just in theaters
but it's it's a limited release so it doesn't even go wide in theaters until
April 8th that opens wide.
I'm very excited. Sam is going to see
it again this week, and I'm going to see it
for the first time.
I'm very excited. I also
just wanted to say that Henley told
us about a podcast called Dead Eyes,
which I
have been listening to, and
I'm obsessed with it. I love it very much and it's
just so funny it's a man named connor ratliff who is a comedian who is setting out to solve
the mystery of why tom hanks fired him from the 2001 hbo miniseries band of brothers
for saying he had dead eyes.
And it's so funny.
And he just on the most one of the most recent episodes interviewed Tom Hanks.
And I tried to jump in at that episode because I was too excited and was like, I got to hear this because I knew the premise.
And like in the beginning of that episode, it's like, we know you're a first some of your first time listeners like go back and listen to the whole thing.
And so I did. And I'm very happy that I am.
But I just can't wait to get to that episode.
But I'm also scared for him.
His heart must have been beating out of his chest.
I mean, there was so build up.
It's like us getting freaking Tony.
I mean, it would be just like it. It would be just like it. It would be the
exact same.
Yeah, Tim and I listened to
a bunch of these episodes on a road
trip to Charleston that
we took, Charleston, South Carolina.
And it was like the perfect thing to binge
listen to. Yeah.
So many right in a row.
And it is also part
of what's interesting about it too is that he starts
it before covid and then covid happens and he moves home and he talks he talks a little bit
about like what am i doing why am i making this podcast and he doesn't hold back with his like
self-derosities i mean he is gets fixated on i mean he created a whole podcast about one
moment which to be fair pretty important moment but yeah i would imagine that he fixates on things
a lot of people who a lot of the guests who come on are like we i feel like you're taking it too
seriously and he's like i appreciate that but i don't. Let me have my process.
I just find it delightful.
Yeah, I really enjoy it too.
You guys, I guess the scary thing for me this week is listening to you guys talk, all your movie talk.
You guys are having so much movie talk going to movies seeing movies in
theaters and um i have not been to a movie theater since january of 2020 so that's crazy it's been
over two years and i don't it's like not on the horizon for me either right yeah right you have
to get a baby you have to get a freaking Yeah, I'd have to get a babysitter.
Get a freaking sitter. I don't know
A, like how to do that. I don't know how to do
that. We have Tim's parents
who can babysit and however
they, you know, they don't want to go to bed early
and we still have to put Silas to bed
ourselves because he is a little
menace and won't go to sleep.
We've had both of our sets of parents
try to put him to bed and it's
a disaster. So technically
we could, but he just wouldn't be
easy.
But yeah, just be stressed about it, too.
Yeah. And it would just suck for
you know, Tim's parents or my
parents to be like having to deal with that.
They would. I'm sure they'd be fine with it.
But there hasn't been like a movie
that we've been like, well, we have to have to do this.
It feels like a lot to take on to see a movie.
Also, there isn't a movie theater close to our neighborhood.
So we have to travel to this movie theater, you know, the whole thing.
Yeah, that's an undertaking.
However, there is an AMC theater right across the street from my office where now I am required to be in person for three days a week.
So maybe I'm just going to go to the movies in the middle of a work day.
I love that.
Yeah.
Maybe that's what I'll do.
I think that sounds like a really great idea.
I'm just going to block out some of my schedule and go see the Batman by myself.
You're going to have to block out most of a day.
That's half a work day. That is absolutely
half a work day. Especially when you put in
travel time. You're taking a half day.
But
movies are too long now.
Are there any short movies?
You picked the longest one.
That's the only one I want to see.
But everything everywhere all at once is
also, it's like two and a half.
Movies are long. Movies are long now. but take a half day and go see the batman okay i'm gonna take a half day goes to the batman
the only other thing i wanted to tell you guys is currently as we speak it is snowing outside
it's snowing outside i it's literal flurries like i'm looking at my window. Wow. Full snow. No, you guys are saying that like
oh, that's so sweet. I'm here to tell you
it fucking sucks. I'm done
with it. I hate it.
I'm over it. I never
want it to happen again. I'm moving
down south.
Back here.
I mean, I wish. You know when was the last time it snowed
here? Never.
I don't know, but not a lot in the whole history of the city.
Where is it?
The tail end.
I'm looking outside my window.
Oh my gosh, Henley.
The flowers are blooming.
The sky is blue.
It's sun is shining.
Warm.
Stop it.
A perfect 70, 76 or something.
Get here.
That sounds so nice.
Or it's the tell, tell, tell end of winter here and it's painful.
Yeah, that like you think you're done and then it snows again.
That's tough.
Mm-hmm.
It sucks.
It's actually 69 degrees.
59.
We love penises.
Okay. Should we talk about this movie we're coming in with a really interesting energy i'm excited i'm excited for what we're getting into i'm excited for this movie this movie is good and
this movie is also short i think it is a 90 minute movie so thank god yeah. So one movie, but it's not in theaters, so you'd have to watch it at home.
And that movie is fresh, new release, just came out on Hulu.
It is directed by Mimi Cave, written by Lauren Kahn, starring Daisy Edgar Jones, Sebastian
Stan, and Jojo T. Gibbs.
And yeah, it's on Hulu.
And it's great.
And I loved it.
People are talking about it. People are talking about it. People Hulu and it's great and I loved it people are talking about it people are talking about it people have feelings
about it Sebastian Stan is having a
moment yes
a big moment for Sebastian
Stan okay let's talk
about Sebastian Stan because I have thoughts
can I just tell you guys real quick
I don't know whether I've told you this before I feel like I
have maybe my first or second week
when I moved to Los Angeles
so long ago,
I was
a background actor
for one day
in the pilot of
that Showtime show that was about
comics that I think only lasted
one season.
Oh, oh, oh.
Yes. Fuck. What was that show? Was Jim Carrey in it? Yeah, it was like oh oh oh yes um fuck what was that was jim carrey in it yeah it was
jim carrey was an executive producer and it was set in like the 70s i want to say i'm still here
or i'm still standing or something like that something like that fuck this i'm gonna actually
have to look it up because it's gonna bother me so sebastian sand was in it and i was one of the
background actors in a scene where he's supposed to like go up to a bar and talk to a girl.
And I was sitting at the bar and the whole time I was it was like six hours of me just watching Sebastian Stan like move around this little tiny bar set while I sat there and was entranced.
And the whole time I was like, maybe we could date, you know, maybe he'll like catch, catch eyes with me. And we
could just date for a little bit. You know, why not? I think that's like literally, basically
why everybody does background is, is like, this, this might be like my big break, the director's
gonna notice me or the lead actor's gonna notice me and this moment will change my life when in
reality, they're just really long, bad days. Oh, it's terrible. No, if anyone actually knows me, you know, like the last thing I would ever
want to do in a million years would be like noticed by literally anyone. And the only reason
I did this is because I was broke as hell. And someone offered me the opportunity to be a
background actor. And I was like, I'll do anything for money. So yes, please. And that's a whole I
feel like that's a whole thing. Like the world of background actors.
I mean, I know they made a show called Extras that really dives into it. Oh, great show.
Holy shit.
It was very funny to be there for a day and just being like, whoa, this is people's lives.
Like they are committed.
And it is a lot.
Did you make it into the did you make it into the cut?
I don't know.
Wait, weren't you in the background of something else, too?
I feel like there was a show. OK. was called i'm dying up here that's what it was called that's it that's
it that's it that's it um well i was thinking about sebastian stan while watching this and
yeah he's also in um pam and tommy right now and i feel like he's obviously a very attractive man.
And you see, he's a good actor.
But he's like not ever the reason I see something.
I'm not like, ooh, a Sebastian Stan movie.
Like, I gotta check out that.
And as I was watching this, I was thinking like,
oh, my favorite Sebastian Stan movies are when he like lets the woman that he's acting opposite like shine.
He's he's like a good supporting.
He does seem like a really good scene partner.
Yes.
And so in like I, Tanya, with Margot Robbie, with Lily James and Pam and Tommy and with Daisy Edgar Jones in this, I feel like he really like lets them shine.
And I read an interview with him recently where he like said that he was being interviewed by Margot Robbie
and said, like, I think my when I'm at my best is when I'm like opposite a strong like female lead
and like stop it, Sebastian Stan. I mean, what are you trying to do to us?
And because at first I was like, I don't know if I like Sebastian Stan. And then I like read that
article and I was like, oh, my God, he knows he like knows that this is when he's good. It's not
just me noticing this choice. It's like him making these choices. And yeah, it made me really
appreciate him more because, yeah, this is probably one of my in fresh is probably one of my favorite sebastian
stan roles um but normally yeah i could kind of like he's not like why i'm usually enjoying a show
i love i love both of them so much that i want to see this movie just for that reason i think
you could and we're gonna find out. Okay. I saw a little video.
Did you guys see that video that was going around Instagram of them doing a little dance,
practicing a little dance together?
No.
Backstage.
And I was like, this is cute.
Okay.
No.
But can I just say, I don't know what has happened with my explore page on Instagram
recently.
Oh, mine is fucked.
Mine is fucked lately.
And I got. I'm kidding. I just showed him my scary thing. recently oh mine is fucked mine is fucked lately and and i got
okay i'm just showing my scary thing i'm just remembering it now
i got a video on my explore page on instagram of a baby what oh no a baby kitten no a baby
child like a baby child getting their head shaved I don't know why it was
happening and I don't know why I got it and I don't know why I got it. And it was so weird.
Why would someone do that?
Why did the baby have such long hair?
It wasn't like it was a problem.
It was just like, you know, like, you know, some babies have longer hair.
It wasn't like an infant.
It was like probably like an eight or nine month old that had like a baby, but had like lovely hair.
And they were shaving his head bald
like cubo bald
I don't know why
I
hate there's so much like
kid content on Instagram that I'm fed
now because I'm a mom and obviously I'm like looking
at stuff with babies but
I just hate it I'm like turn it off
like I don't want to see this like I don't
know who these babies are these are Like I don't want to see this like I don't Know who these babies are these are
Strangers I don't know these babies
I don't want to see
This fucking baby
I knew this baby but I don't know this baby
Oh I have a lot to say
On this topic oh my god I could go
On and on and on and on and on and on and on but I
Will stop for right now okay let's hear
About fresh okay some St stats for us it has an 81 on rotten tomatoes uh 65 on metacritic and a 6.7
on imdb so pretty standard standard ratings uh the budget is estimated between 15 and 20 million, but no box office because it went straight to Hulu,
which I wonder what those numbers are and how that works. It's all kind of a mystery, you know?
Yeah, that's still such a mystery. We don't know how that's working.
Mm. And there's not a lot of trivia. It's Mimi Cave's directorial debut.
She had directed a couple shorts before this
and the only thing the only other thing i wanted to flag is that the cinematographer is pavel
pogorzelski who was the cinematographer on hereditary and midsummer oh huge huge huge
so the movie looks good. Wow.
But that's really all the trivia I have.
So shall we watch this trailer?
Yes.
The women in our parents' generation, they were more into femininity.
You know what I mean?
Because I think you would just look great in a dress.
You got it done?
Pretty much done, actually.
Thank you.
If it's cool, I'm just gonna snag these leftovers.
I wanna know how you do it, Molly. Do what?
Dating people.
No, no.
You do not need a man, okay?
So don't play the games.
Just be you, straight out the gate.
Do you live around here?
Because I live on aisle six.
That was terrible. Was was kind of terrible.
What's his Instagram?
I want to stalk a little bit.
He doesn't have one.
Say what?
Yeah.
Oh, no.
See, that's shady.
Let's play a game.
Tell me something you don't want me to know.
I hate this.
Okay.
We put all our hopes in finding happiness through someone else.
Yeah.
Girl, you are all digmatized and I haven't even seen this dude.
What's going on?
I'm gonna tell you, but you're gonna freak out.
No, this isn't happening.
Yeah, it's happening.
No games.
Know what you wanted?
It's about giving. Giving yourself over to somebody becoming one forever that's love
forget this Forget this.
Here's what I realized when I was watching that trailer.
Is that what I meant was that I wanted to watch these two star in a rom-com together.
That's just a rom-com.
Not anything else.
I don't need any of this other terrifying content.
No, thank you.
Yeah, it's a horror movie.
It is.
What if this one was just a rom-com and I tricked you guys?
It'd be a nice trick.
I'd be so happy.
It would have been a nice trick.
I actually thought Sebastian Stan looked kind of bad in this trailer.
Bad acting?
No, like ugly.
I thought he looked cute in the grocery store and then it got worse.
Did you not think he looked cute in the grocery store?
No, he looked cute in the grocery store, but this is my favorite vibe of his.
And it shouldn't be.
Because of what? Because of what happens.
This is a good thing? Yes.
Your spidey sense is up. My spidey sense is up.
Also, is she much younger than him? Yes.
Or is this age appropriate? No, she's much younger than him. I think was up. Also, is she much younger than him? Yes. Or is this age appropriate?
No, she's much younger than him.
I think she's, yeah, like 15 years younger than him.
No.
She's 23, I think.
And I'm pretty sure he's like 38.
She's 23?
She's really young.
Yeah.
I mean, she was playing like a college student in high school and college and normal people.
Yeah, but oh my God.
Oh my God.
She's 23. Yep yep that's not okay
people can't be young oh you mean the age difference he's 39 this is not okay
this is not okay listen it's not played as okay so you can rest easy knowing that okay they they
play that you see that's maybe that's Maybe that's it too. He like looked like
a grown ass adult. Like he looked like
a 40 year old man.
I wasn't picking up on that. Because I feel like
a lot of times he's like sort of scruffier
and like a little like looks a little
you know less. But he looks like a like
suit older
guy. You know what I mean? And I didn't.
Because he is hot. I'm looking at pictures
of him right now. He's hot.
I mean, the consensus is
certainly that he is a hot man.
And he is, I think, very good in this.
And sometimes the consensus isn't, I don't
agree with it, but in this, I agree with
that consensus for sure. Is she
British playing American? Yes.
And that was another thing is like, she's so good at
accents because she's also in normal people plays irish oh she's not irish she's great irish accent no she is
british and her american accent was good it's great it sounded great um i'm so impressed wow
i want to be her god yeah she's she's really. She's great. Should we talk about this movie?
I guess.
Yeah.
Fine.
Fine.
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 collection.
I am currently very, very obsessed with, I have the soft lounge tank

okay so we start we meet our main character daisy edgar jones her name is noah fun name for a girl
name i like that noah fun name that's really cute yeah yeah okay no i'm just like my wheels are
spinning like if i have a girl like I'm going to name her Noah.
Noah is a good name for a girl.
Yeah.
I like it as well.
I support it.
Henley for your next child.
Honestly, like what if I did though because of this movie she's named after her.
It'd be fun.
You get to show her fresh one day.
Yeah.
This is your namesake.
You can decide at the end of the episode yeah say probably
not but we meet her and she's in her car swiping through like a dating app a tinder type app
um and is at like in the parking lot of a restaurant about to meet a guy on a date
who's named chad this is going to be a um first date and she gets
a phone call from her best friend molly who is played by jojo t gibbs who this is the first
thing i've seen her in but she is um i recognized her because she is sydney washington's girlfriend
who is like a new york comedian and i just thought it was funny that like Instagram just like burns people
into my brain.
I was like,
I know this person.
She's the girlfriend of somebody I follow.
You do.
You ever have those moments where you just feel like such a fucking creep?
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
All the,
all the time,
but she's great in this,
but her name is Molly and Molly and Noah are talking and Noah's like,
not,
not psyched about this date um but she's there
already and they're just like oh yeah you know dating sucks but just you know you never know
what's gonna happen so go in and so she goes into this restaurant and has a very bad date with Chad
who is like sexist to her says like women used to be a lot more feminine and you'd look really pretty in a dress, making these comments, commenting on her looks.
She's obviously immediately put off, but sits through the date.
And at the end of the date, he, as they're walking out, goes in to kiss her.
And she pushes him, steps back and says you know i don't think
we're a good match and he flips and is like an asshole to her and is like oh like okay i was
just like trying to be nice you're not even really my type and she like laughs a bit and he's like is
that funny to you like it's just an awful ending to a date and ends with him, like, storming off and being like, good luck finding a boyfriend.
You stuck up, bitch.
And Jesus Christ.
It's a very bad day.
And I got to say, as someone who, like, goes on dates, I haven't had a date this bad.
But dating does suck.
But I don't know if they're I don't think they usually go quite like this.
They're usually fine.
Yeah. But then she's walking back to her car as the the person gets closer we see that it
is an older man with his like young son and like she breathes a sigh of relief um then the next day
she's uh kickboxing with molly and talking just lamenting about dating in general like i'm i'll
you know i always end up alone, which is totally fine.
I'm totally happy alone.
But I don't know how you do it.
I'm just so sick of dating.
And Molly's just like, yeah, it does suck.
But you got to just keep going or don't.
You can keep doing it or don't.
You can be alone, too.
The choice is up to you.
Just be yourself is the most important thing.
So that night
noah goes to the grocery store and sebastian stan walks up to her his name is steve and he
uh they have like a proper meet cute which she you can, is excited about because meeting people on dating apps is not as exciting as meeting people in real life.
You want a fun story.
And he comes up to her and makes a joke about like the great cotton candy grapes and makes her try one.
Like they really do taste like cotton candy.
And she's guarded, but also you can tell charmed.
And they chat for a little bit and he asks for her number and she gives it to him
and is uh lets herself be a little bit excited by it as again like talking to molly and was like he
was really cute but she's like i'm already like nervous about it. Like it's dating is stressful.
And like, why hasn't he texted me yet?
Then he texts her and they set up their first date and they meet at a bar and they're having a nice time.
And she like knows the bartender.
The bartender's name is Paul.
having a nice time and the she like knows the bartender the bartender's name is paul and they get kind of drunk and they're chatting asking the normal getting to know you questions
where are you from uh where is your family she says my uh dad is dead and i don't really talk
to my mom and he says oh my like mom is dead and i don't really talk to my mom. And he says, oh, my mom is dead and I don't really talk to my dad.
So we have something in common.
Dead parents cheers.
And they have a good laugh about that.
Oh, God.
We find out that he is a doctor.
He works in mostly plastic surgery.
Oh, no.
No.
Oh, no.
Yeah. They just keep drinking and get a little more vulnerable and looser.
And they're like having conversations where she admits to him, you know, like, I fucking hate dating.
Like, I hate this.
I hate doing this.
I'm so sick of it.
And he's like, oh, I get it.
Like, me too.
And she invites him back to her place and they have sex.
Okay.
And it's pretty sexy sex.
I got to say.
Sex is sex.
Pretty sexy sex.
And he spends the night and in the morning she wakes up before him and she takes a photo of him sleeping, which I think is a, it's a little creepy and.
Yeah, I don't love.
I don't love.
Interesting choice.
Yeah, it's because she's excited
and she wants to show Molly,
like look at the guy
because she tells Molly the next day
that he doesn't have an Instagram.
Molly says, that's a red flag.
What the fuck?
Like, who is this guy?
And Noah says to Molly, oh, Paul was our bartender Molly says, that's a red flag. What the fuck? Like, who is this guy?
And Noah says to Molly, oh, Paul was our bartender. And we get the idea that Paul and Molly used to hook up.
Okay.
And we get a little like happy series of dates that Noah and Steve are going on.
Things are going well, like a happy little couple.
Everything's good.
He's getting the rom-com she wants.
It is a rom-com and nothing bad ever happens.
Roll credits.
Let me get that tattooed on my body as roll credits.
And on one of these dates, they're at Noah's house.
And he says, have you told anybody about me?
Have you told anybody about us?
And she says, maybe, like my friend Molly.
And he says, tell me more about Molly.
Who's Molly?
And she just says, she's my best friend.
I might have told her that I met a guy that I like a little bit.
And it's very flirty.
And it's clearly them getting swept up in the early stages of romance, falling in love with each other.
And he says, we should go away somewhere.
We should go on a trip together.
And again, you said, are we there?
We noticed that he's almost 20 years older than her or not so much or.
No, actually, no, not really.
But nobody sees him but her.
So it's like nobody can.
There's nobody.
He's not bringing it up.
She's not bringing it up.
Yeah.
Perhaps other people would.
Yeah.
Because perhaps other people will.
No, actually, they don't really but okay i
just mean like the relationship is by the end of the movie we're not going to be like this is the
perfect relationship okay sure sure sure sure sure also i think there's in that age range where
people wouldn't necessarily comment on it like 23 and 38 like even though that is 15 years older
like happens all the time kind of I mean yeah
they are both adults but
and you know it's hard to know how old people
are he looks good she
could be one of those people who looks like
a baby forever you know she's little
she came right out of the
womb like seconds ago that's
just her vibe yeah you know
but okay I'm just I'm sorry for whatever
reason I'm like that's
huge well we've talked about before i don't love when anyone is dating someone under like 27 your
brain keeps developing until you're 27 and so 27 should be the real adult age in my opinion
should be i don't think 40 year olds should yeah people under 27. I think the age difference is fine if everybody's over 27.
Yeah, honestly, I know what you mean.
23 just feels so young.
To each his own.
Sure.
Henley's husband is 19.
We've been together
for seven years. No, no, no.
No, no, no.
It's a joke. It's not true.
It's not true.
It's not true.
It's revealed now.
Oh my god.
But yeah, so Steve wants to go away
somewhere. He says it can be a surprise.
I want to take you somewhere. And she relays this to molly who is again like i don't like that like a surprise
like are you fucking joking me like where are you gonna go sammy can i pause for one minute yes
and ask a question of the group yes Yes. Oh, okay. The phrase,
are you joking me?
Are you joking me?
How many of you heard this before?
Or do you say,
are you kidding me?
No, it's exclusively,
are you kidding me?
Are you joking me is not a thing.
Is this a phrase that I have created?
I think you have created it.
You said it in one of our recent episodes
a couple of times,
and I was like,
oh, that's interesting.
I guess that's a version of it.
Sammy does say it.
She goes, are you joking me?
She does say that.
It does mean the same thing as are you kidding me?
But I've just never heard anybody else say it.
I think I can pinpoint when this came into my vocabulary.
Because there's a comedian named Meg Stalter who...
Oh, we've heard of her.
Yeah.
We all know who she is.
I'm telling our listeners who...
There's one video where she...
I think she actually says it kind of a lot.
She says, are you joking my ass right now?
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
And it made me laugh a lot every time.
And so I think I've just adopted it into my own vocabulary, but changed it to, are you
joking me?
But really what I mean is, are you joking my ass right now?
Are you joking my ass right now?
Are you joking my ass right now?
Are you joking my ass right now?
That's so funny.
That's so funny.
Because Emily, when you said that, when you said that, I was shocked.
I was like, who would ever say that?
I don't know what you're talking about.
And then the second you said Sammy said it, I was like in my memory just so many times.
So many times. And it's found natural
when you say it. That's the thing.
I didn't even notice. Are you joking me?
Are you joking my ass right now?
See, it's funny.
I'm doing it. I'm keeping it.
Are you joking me?
Okay. But yeah, so Molly's
not down with this, but Noah's going to do it.
She's, I think eventually Steve says we're going to go to Cottage Creek or something
like that.
I can't remember.
And so Molly is suspicious, but says, all right, well, just like keep texting me and
like send me pictures and stuff when you're there.
And so they are going to drive to steve's place and spend the
night there and then leave from his place in the morning because his place is closer but she no
hasn't been to steve's place yet and so they start driving and it's a little far out into
it kind of reminds me of the road on get Out when the deer jumps in front of their car.
It's like that.
But it's also like nighttime when they're driving.
And just seems like they're driving into the woods.
I think it's supposed to take place in Portland.
Okay.
And her phone loses reception as they're driving.
And she says it out loud like, oh, fuck fuck i don't get any service out here and he
says oh yeah it's just like for the drive you'll it'll it'll there's wi-fi at my house like we'll
get it back and uh they arrive at his place it's very nice he is an adult man almost 40 year old
man that is a plastic surgeon so he's clearly making a good amount of money. And her reception is still not working.
And this is when she kind of is a little bit nervous by it.
She, in the beginning, was not nervous at all.
She likes this guy.
She trusts him.
And then this moment when the Wi-Fi is not working, he's like, oh, weird.
Like, I'll fix it tomorrow.
Like, I don't know what's going on.
Her little spidey senses start tingling a little bit, but not enough.
Oh, God.
Oh, it would be so scary.
Oh, my God.
Well, you're really fucked, right?
You're like out in the middle.
You don't have anywhere.
You know, you got to.
What are you going to do?
Steal his keys and steal his car?
He's a piece of a big, strong man. And like call a cab service. There are no landlines these days. Like, what going to do? Steal his keys and steal his car? He's a big strong man.
And call a cab service? There are no landlines these days.
What do you do?
I'm fucked.
Right.
Especially if you start to realize it's by design.
That's the real scary thing to be like, oh no.
I've been trapped.
I have been trapped.
Absolutely terrifying.
I don't like it.
And he makes her a drink.
No, don't like it. And he makes her a drink. No, don't drink it.
And she drinks it and is like trying to relax and is like, whatever, I'm just like overreacting or something, which is what we say not to do.
It's a crazy thing that humans do where you just rationalize things in your brain that you're like animal instincts are telling you are wrong.
You override them with your thinking brain
Mm-hmm, and that is true. That's a real thing that happens all the time. Mm-hmm
So she drinks this drink and guess what? It's roofied classic
She passes out and collapses on the floor
And and the main titles come up it's kind of fun. This is like 30 minutes into the movie.
We get a 70s era title sequence.
Just kind of fun.
And then she wakes up confused.
And it's like a close-up shot so we can't really see where she is.
And she sees Steve in the room with her and looks at him and is like, what happened?
Like rubbing her head.
And she says, did I like pass out?
And he says, no, I drugged you.
And she obviously is like, what?
Like, what the fuck?
is like what like what the fuck and we pan out and see that she is handcuffed in handcuffed to the ground of what looks like a carpeted prison cell like basically a nice prison cell
there's a little little bed in the corner like a mattress pad that she's on and that's where her
handcuffs her handcuffs are
like connected to a chain that's like drilled into the god i hate this more than anything else
i hate this more than anything else and she asks him what the fuck is going on
and he says i'm gonna tell you but you're going to really freak out.
Which I thought was a very good line, but also so scary.
And she's starting to panic, obviously, and is like trying to stand up, seeing like she can't move past the like leash basically that she's on.
She can't get past that.
And she's like, this isn't happening.
This isn't happening.
He's like, yes, it is.
Yes, it is.
Noah, sit down.
Sit down.
It's happening. like this is happening and she starts crying and says are you
gonna rape me and he says no i'm not gonna rape you um sit down like i told you i'm gonna explain
it to you like sit down and she sits down and he says listen carefully. I'm going to sell your meat.
What?
And her face in this moment is so still.
I actually thought my TV like got fucked up.
Like I thought it was like a still image because she is so frozen in horror.
It's like a very it's just like a still shot of her
with her jaw hanging open like what as he's explaining people will pay me a lot of money for
it i'm not gonna kill you not yet because i make more money when the meat is fresh so i'm gonna
keep you alive as long as i can and just take like pieces from you piece by piece.
And I'm going to take care of you.
It's going to be OK.
Like, I'm going to cook you nice meals.
It's going to be nice.
Like nobody's ever cooked for you.
Like your parents didn't cook for you type of thing.
Oh, my God.
She fucking panics, screaming as like like running trying to like break this chain and he
like overpowers her and wrestles her down to the ground is basically you know like not smothering
her but just hold overpowering her in a way that she can't even like flail around anymore and he's
like stop it stop it stop it stop it she's screaming to a
point where she like can't move and he says stop being so dramatic oh my god i hate this concept
i just hate i hate it also she's like such a skinny little thing yeah what kind of meat is
he talking about limbs full limbs oh god oh no God. Oh, no. Oh, God.
We're going to find out.
No.
I'm mad.
I'm mad.
Roll credits.
Roll credits.
Roll credits.
Roll credits.
Roll credits.
I really wanted it to be literally not this.
If it could have just been not been this, that would have been better. I just wanted it to be not this.
Yeah.
Which I bet is how she's feeling as well.
I just wanted it to be not this.
Is it too much to ask for it
to not be this?
Okay.
Wowee. We cut back to
Molly who calls her
to check in. This is the next
day now. Noah doesn't answer,
obviously. And she
gets a text back that says,
service isn't great. I'll call you later whenever
I can. So he obviously has her phone and is texting Molly from it and sends a photo of a
waterfall from a cottage grove is apparently what the place they're at is supposed to be.
And we see Noah now alone in the room, screaming like, help me, help me.
Can anybody hear me?
And a voice on the other side of the wall says he's not here.
Another woman, another woman's voice.
And Noah says, please, please help me, help me, help me.
I need help.
And the woman's voice says, I can't, I can't help you.
We're in the same boat.
Like I'm in here too and we find out this
woman's name is Penny
and she
says how long have you been here she says
I have no idea I don't
know what time of day it is I've
lost track of all time I'm fucking
slowly being eaten I'm
oh my god I don't know I don't know what what day it is I've lost track of all time. I'm fucking slowly being eaten. I'm. Oh, my God.
I don't know.
I don't know what what day it is.
And Noah is desperately like people must be looking for you, your family.
And Penny says, I don't.
The thing is, I don't really have much family.
Noah is crying like neither do I.
And Penny says, that makes sense.
Like, that's probably part of the whole deal.
And she says, is anybody else in here?
And Penny says, just one beside us, Melissa.
And then yells out, Melissa, can you hear me?
And a woman's voice starts like singing, screaming like that.
And she says
Melissa's kind of lost her mind
she's been here the longest
I've also lost
my mind and we're
five seconds into the
bad part
we go back to molly who is
really doing her due diligence as a friend is googling steve plastic surgeon portland
trying to find any information about this guy nothing's coming up um And she's texting like, how's it going?
Can you send more pictures?
And she gets a text back that says, need some, you know, digital free time.
Turning my phone off now, but I love you.
And Molly, Google image searches the waterfall image and sees that it's just from like a website pulled from a
website and she starts getting really nervous and texts back like call me right now it's an emergency
uh but the phone gets turned off and this is the point at which i'm like this movie's about the
importance of female friendship absolutely yes yes yes yes and also googling people because if you're a plastic surgeon like you have a website
for sure the thing is
too like
have
men
do men tell their friends
when they're going on dates like here's
the person we're going to date with here's
where we're going gay men I would imagine gay men
but yeah
but I don't think straight men, probably not.
Probably not.
They probably.
How often do you think straight men genuinely fear for their lives?
Probably not very much.
Straight men sound off in the comments.
Sound off in the comments.
Hey, hey, here's a quick.
Hey, poll for all you straight men.
Do you fear for your life?
How often?
How often do you guys fear for your life? How often? How often do you guys fear for your life?
How often do you think you're going to get murdered?
I mean,
I wouldn't say very often,
but
it has happened.
It has definitely happened.
I'd say probably less now that I'm in my house
almost all of the time. I would say less
now that I'm in my house all the time, but
and, you know,
there have been only, there have been very few moments
where I've genuinely been like,
okay, this, I could
like, what is about
to happen? But there have been many,
many moments where I go, okay,
okay, okay, okay, we're fine.
Like the tiny, like
someone walking too close to me on the sidewalk
approach me being like, uh, like that has happened.
I don't know.
Every few months.
Like that's like truly when I was out in the world.
Every few months probably.
Same.
I've only had a few like fucking really scary.
There was a time in San Francisco and I was walking home and a van followed me and slowed to my speed of walking.
And I turned around.
I was with my friend Jessica.
So there's two of us, at least. Thank God. But still very scary. And we turned around. I was with my friend Jessica, so there's two of us at least, thank God.
But still very scary. And we turned around and started
just walking the other way and the fucking van
made a U-turn and followed
us again. And we just fucking bolted
home and called the police. It was so scary.
That's so scary.
Fuck. Yeah. I went
on a hike once by myself
but during the day
but I didn't have any good cell reception. I was on a hike once by myself But during the day But I didn't have any good cell reception
I was on a hike by myself
In a car
It was like through like
The hills where there were like some houses
But not enough houses that like
Anyone would necessarily hear you if something happened
And a car
A van drove past me
And I was like okay got out of the road for it
Because I was like sort of walking the street and it drove past me And then a few minutes later it drove back past me And I was like okay got out of the road for it because I was like sort of walking the street and it drove past me and then a few
minutes later it drove back past me and I was like
same van I don't like that and then
I was rounding a corner and I saw the van parked
at the end of the street like
just sitting there and I
had to walk past it there was no other way to go
and I was like oh my fucking god oh my fucking god
oh my fucking god
passed it and then
ran like ran as fucking fast as i could and like
was like pulling up i'm trying to call fucking anyone and get reception and anyway that person
didn't murder me i don't even know if they were trying to but it was really scary yeah and that
was during the day oh yeah i yeah i don't i can't think of any like obvious stories where like a van was involved, but there have been many times.
Vans are scary.
Especially like.
Vans are scary.
Vans are definitely scary.
Vans are a big part of the picture when something like that happens to a woman.
Yeah.
I mean, there's literally like everybody knows what a rape van is.
There's literally a type of van that's like commonly referred to as rape van.
Like for a reason.
Yeah, for a reason.
Well, that's one good reason to move
to new york is because you're just not around um where everyone's safe yeah where there's lots of
vans there no but you're like surrounded by people all the time you're never alone do you know that
is true but it's very scary when you're alone in new y. I will say it is a particularly scary feeling. Yeah.
It just, yeah, I don't, sorry, it just got,
you know, that's a lot to get
into. I'm sure men get, like, scared, like,
if they're, like, on the street alone
at night. I think anyone would be
scared in that situation, but I
think women more so probably have the instinct
to be scared in, like, less
scary settings, like, just
to constantly be, like, okay, who just walked in? Who's behind me right now? You just have to be scared in like less scary settings like just to constantly be like okay who's who just
walked in who's behind me right now you should be vigilant constantly vigilant you just yeah
right because it's like anyone can be the victim of a terrible crime like literally anytime i go
on a walk i only put one headphone in i like absolutely i will never put both headphones in
i don't know if that's something yeah men do but it's i just will absolutely never put both headphones in. I don't know if that's something men do, but I just will absolutely never have both headphones in.
Or just pretend like you're talking on the phone.
If you walk past anyone scary, you're just talking on the phone, right?
Of course, even if you're not.
You're talking on the phone.
So you can't do anything to me because I'm talking on the phone.
That kind of thing is just like instinctual I absolutely pretend to be talking to someone
like someone
who knows will hear if I scream
right now yeah that was
the thing I really liked about this movie
was that there's so many of those things
that like all women just
know like we just know
the key trick between your knuckles
and that kind of thing
so okay yeah well i think
it's about to get worse but let's find out let's find out let's find out uh so we cut to a scene
of steve blasting some 80s hits dancing around in his kitchen he's got a little dumbwaiter that dings comes up from below and it has a human leg
in it a big old thigh and calf and he is just dancing while he slices up this leg he's got his
meat pulverizer he's like banging it with that little hammer thing fucking christ packaging it up in little ceiling
little bags of it and putting them in separate cardboard boxes it's all like this very dancey
type thing he's having a nice time doing this and then he after he has the meat prepped and packaged and separated into various cardboard boxes,
he then sets them on a table and starts.
He has printed out photos of Melissa.
And he is putting a photo of Melissa in each box with a little note that says Melissa.
And he puts a bra in each box so whoever this is being sent to clearly it's like
part of what they enjoy about it is like knowing who they are eating ew that is
there's like is a seemingly vaguely sexual aspect to it as well as the bras and stuff
yeah it's nasty um And then a like business
looking man comes and picks them, picks
all the boxes up and drives off with them.
So this is like he has an operation.
He has his own Etsy page,
but it's for
women's meat.
Exactly.
Downstairs, Noah
is not eating any of the food
that he is making for her in protest and he comes
down and says like why aren't you eating she says i need to shower and he's like you're so mad at me
huh she's very funny and he says do you need to alone? Or do you want like company in the shower?
Okay.
And she just looks at him with like daggers in her eyes.
And he's like, I'm joking.
It was a joke.
I'm trying to make you laugh.
I haven't seen you smile in like the whole time you've been here, which is so crazy.
Why aren't you smiling more?
My little meat prisoner.
What do you mean the meat prisoner more my little meat prisoner oh my god
my little meat princess
smile for me
um
that just reminded me
a real
tangent real curve here but
just want to let everybody know that Jared Leto
did win the Razzie
he did okay
all is right in the world so So congrats. Congrats to him.
And congrats to us.
But Steve says
in this moment, okay, can you give me a smile?
Just give me a smile and I'll
you can go take a shower.
And she grimaces
into a little smile, like
forces a smile.
And he agrees to go
take her to go take a shower he can take the handcuffs off
the chain so she's still handcuffed but he is just now walking with her down the hall this is our
first look at the building and there's cells next to each other which we've already i guess figured
out because we've heard penny and as they walking down, they get to a staircase that leads up to
like a door that only he has the key to. So they're in like the basement basically of this
house. They're underground. And she's scoping the whole place out and looking all around. They go
upstairs out of the basement and they're walking down the hall. She's looking around.
She spots blood on one of the walls
and she makes a run for it.
She like runs away from him
and just darts off
and he grabs her.
He catches up to her, grabs her,
says, bad girl,
bashes her head against the wall knocks her out
and she cuts to black and we fade up in a little surgery room steve steve now in his scrubs again
with his 80s music playing because let me remind you he is 39 music from his childhood yes that's right
i'm like kind of sick of the whole like oh how funny a serial killer who like loves to like
have fun and dance and music i don't know what else that's in it's giving me like yeah um christian
bale what's american psycho american psycho vibes i'm just kind of like cool
i get it definitely is kind of that vibe yeah but she wakes up on this table and is very groggy and
out of it and is like i can't i can't move and he says i know i gave you an epidural so you probably can't feel much of anything
and she's like what what's happening and he says i'm taking your ass no
and we see him cut off her butt
and she has like tears coming out of her eyes, but she can't move.
And he's like, it's okay.
I'm a doctor.
Remember, I'm going to take good care of you.
I've like got to cauterize your ass so that it like heals properly.
But like, I'm a good doctor.
Like, you don't have to worry.
Like, it's going to be fine.
I hate this.
I hate this.
I hate this.
We go back to see Molly goes into the bar that Paul works and she's trying to find info on Steve.
Now she knows something is up and she's like, who what was the guy's name that was here with Noah the other night?
Can you give me his like credit card information?
Something with his name on it.
I need to like locate this guy.
Paul's like clearly feeling still a little slighted from however their hookup and ended like i guess get over yourself paul it ended on on molly's terms so
paul's being a little coy about it but he's also like i can't like even if i had it like i can't
like it's illegal also and she's yeah frustrated she needs that. She needs that info.
Then we see Noah back in her prison cell and she's laying on her front in like a gown, like a hospital gown.
And we hear Penny yell through the wall, how's your ass?
And she says says still gone and uh in this little conversation
that penny and noah have noah says i can't believe i fucking slept with that guy and penny says you
slept with him like i don't think anybody else has slept with him melissa didn't sleep with him
like i hadn't heard of anybody sleeping with him that makes noah feel very gross oh that's sad then back at molly's office she's still doing
more googling and digging and she gets a text from paul with his full name and it's like here's his
name i found his credit card info she types it in and finds his wife's facebook his wife's Facebook. His wife. He has a family. His wife's name is Anna.
And he has two sons as well.
And she's like, oh fuck.
Oh my god.
Because he's a grown man.
He's an adult man. That's right.
And we see
Noah having to use the
bathroom and like sit on
the toilet seat. That's enough. We don't need to know the bathroom and like sit on the toilet seat.
That's enough.
We don't need to know the details here.
You actually don't really see much of anything
but it's just yeah it just seems
horrible to have to go
to the bathroom without a butt.
We see as she's like going
to the bathroom Penny is
screaming and being taken into the surgery
room as well noah is
it like cuts to a little later and noah's reading a magazine looking really you know fucking
downtrodden sometimes i'm looking for words that are not just like sad. And I couldn't think of one.
Oh my god.
She is a prisoner
of a man taking her body parts
to sell for me
and she's downtrodden.
She's having a bad day.
She's having a bad day.
Oh my god. That was the first word that came oh my god as I like
that was the first word that came to my mind
I was like this one's not gonna
fly but I'm gonna say it
a bit
downtrodden
and Steve comes in and
says are you still in denial
like you're still mad at me
and I'll always be mad at you steve
yeah like what are you denial or not i'm mad at you i'm not gonna get over it and i'm downtrodden
i'm very downtrodden today steve it's not my best day i'm having a bad day that's day steve
and uh she asks him why did you sleep with me steve and he said he looks a little um caught
off guard by this question and he says i told you i told you i liked you and he says but you're
right that it it was a mistake i shouldn't have done that and he leaves her in there and he says try and relax fear and stress is bad for the meat
oh my god for the meat so she is left with her magazine and as she's flipping through the pages
she finds a note scrawled in the little margins that says if you're reading this he likes you
use it keep fighting signed sammy it was me that wrote it terrifying because he doesn't give everybody
magazines i guess i guess not location yep so we hear penny in the other room is really not doing
well have we seen her ever no we haven't seen these when we were staring at uh molly texts paul
that she's gonna go or she had she had texted him like i found this
motherfucker has a whole family and he's like oh shit what are you gonna do she's like i'm going
to his house like and she starts sharing his her location with paul to be like if shit goes awry This is where I am. She is committed in a way that I admire.
Mm-hmm.
And so she pulls up to the house, knocks on the door.
Steve's wife answers.
And she says, I know this is going to sound crazy, but my friend is missing.
And I think your husband might know where she is.
And the woman looks really
confused and is like that does sound pretty crazy but okay come in like what are you talking about
they like sit down on the couch and molly shows her the photo of steve that noah had sent to her
and but it's like he's like laying down and his like face is smushed into a pillow and so she's
like it does kind of look like him, but I can't say for sure.
I'm sorry.
You should call the police if you're really stressed.
Have you called the police yet?
And Molly's like, I really think your husband knows where she is.
And as she says that, Steve arrives home.
And Molly says, are you Steve?
And he's like, my name is Brendan.
And she's like, I think you know my friend Noah.
And he's like, I don't.
I know.
Sorry, I don't know a Noah.
I think you might be confused.
Like you might have the wrong people.
And Molly's like, OK, I guess.
All right.
Sorry for bothering you guys.
And as he's like leading her to the front door, she calls Noah's phone and it rings in his pocket.
Oh, my God.
Oh, she's a genius.
And he turns and looks at her, takes the phone out of his pocket and goes, oh, it's you.
You really shouldn't have done that.
it's you.
You really shouldn't have done that.
Ah!
And the wife smashes something over Molly's head,
knocks her out.
The wife's in on it too?
Mm-hmm.
Anna!
Oh no, now it's all up to Paul.
Then we cut to Paul texting Molly for an update and the text's not going through
and Paul looking concerned.
And this is when I'm like,
oh, this is a movie about the importance of flirting with bartenders.
Just something that I am quite good at as well.
You are.
You are good at that.
Yes.
Surround yourself with female friendship and bartender acquaintances.
That's right.
That's right.
Good, strong friends and nice little ties to bartenders.
Go out with your female friends to all the local bars.
Yeah, that's what she's trying to say.
Exactly.
That's the message.
So back in Noah's cell, she decides to now take a different approach based on that message we got from the magazine.
to now take a different approach based on that message we got from
the magazine, which again
is something I think all women
are familiar with, with
trying to appease
your, that
person. So he, Steve comes
in and she
says, what does it taste like?
The meal.
And he looks like
clearly
excited that she has asked this question, but still a little suspicious. the meal. Ew. And he looks like clearly excited
that she has asked this question
but still a little suspicious and he's like
says like it's
exquisite. It's like nothing you've ever had
before. And she just kind of goes,
hmm. He's like, that's it?
She's just
planting seeds here.
And
eventually, I think later that night he comes back and says
why don't we have dinner tomorrow and she's like okay oh my god um we see paul looking at his phone
and the texts are now not going through to Molly anymore.
He's like texted a few times.
Her phone is off, but he had taken a screenshot before the phone was off of where her location was.
Because he saw it's like he was like, what the fuck?
She's like in the middle of nowhere.
And so he's now going to check out that location.
We go back to steve's house we see steve's wife like looking
at herself in the mirror doing that thing where you like pull your skin back to see like what you
would look like with a facelift and then she gets in the shower and we see she removes a prosthetic leg she is missing a leg is this sammy i mean i know her name is anna her name is anna okay but
i kind of thought that too i think yeah at this at this point we don't know it could be um but
it's not okay we don't know but we know and it's not so we see her yeah like sitting like that holding that little like
thing in a bar in a shower to like hold herself up while she bathes herself and it cuts from that
to steve going on a run running as fast as he can in his little gym shorts i thought that was a nice
cut his seeing his his fully functioning legs and him just freaking living his life. And he goes back to the
house and we see in his freezer, there's like a freezer in the basement area that is filled
with meat and limbs. And all of it is bagged and tagged with different women's names and dates.
tagged with different women's names and dates
and he
selects one and starts
cooking up dinner for him
and Noah.
It's a gross little
montage-y part where he's like putting meat
through a meat grinder. A lot of
close-ups of meat and like wet
squishy meat sounds.
A lot of squishy
sound design.
Squelching, squelching.
That's what they probably would say in the subtitles.
And then he brings Noah up for dinner.
He handcuffs her to her chair, I think, or like ties her to the chair somehow.
She has to sit on a little pillow.
He puts a pillow down for her butt.
But she's flirting with him in this scene she's she's trying to flirt with him and is uh saying like you know when did you first taste it we get
a little bit of backstory that basically once he tasted human meat his life changed he like felt
purpose he said becoming one with someone else forever
is a beautiful thing like that's surrender that's love and he found other people like him
he says there's not many of us it's the one percent of the one percent it's the people who
really really want what nobody else can have he He prepares her some, like, a big meatball, spaghetti and meatball.
Disgusting, disgusting, disgusting, disgusting.
And as he puts it in front of her, she says, is it me?
And he smiles and says, no, this is Hope.
And he, like, laughs and he's, like, kind of funny.
Kind of a funny name in this situation.
And he has a bite and he gives her a bite.
And she eats it.
And we get these, like, super cuts of, like, what we assume are all the clients that he gives sells meat to like close-ups
again of them like shoveling
meat into their mouth and it's
with like animal
sound effects and
this is the second
movie we've done so soon
after doing one already
horrific spaghetti eating scene. We're
doing another one
too soon for my liking.
That spaghetti scene is pretty fun, honestly.
I didn't like the pics.
I love it.
I love it.
But he tells her this meal is about $30,000
and it would be more expensive if it was fresh.
And she eats it and it's like a date, basically.
And at the end, he takes her back down to her cell,
and she says, thank you, Steve, that was really nice.
And as he leaves her cell,
he goes to the cell next to hers and pulls out Molly.
And Molly has tape over her mouth,
so she can't yell or anything,
so Noah doesn't even notice that there's anyone new in there.
And we see Noah vomiting after Steve leaves, like making herself puke.
And Penny now is starting to lose it a bit, is talking to Noah, being like, I don't know if you're real.
Maybe I'm losing my mind.
Like, maybe you're my imaginary friend.
real uh maybe i'm losing my mind like maybe you're my imaginary friend because i mean they're also like in addition to being eaten just like in basically solitary confinement yeah yeah yeah
awful steve then brings noah a dress and some makeup and says you can freshen up dinner's at seven so they are dating now
apparently and Noah laughs and says I have no idea what time it is he's like I know it was a joke
um very funny we love this and he gets also in this moment a text from his wife being like when
are you going to be home for dinner so we see that he is like choosing Noah over his wife.
And there's a little getting ready montage of Steve getting in his suit and Noah getting dressed.
And while she's getting dressed, he brought her like a poofy pink dress.
And while after she's dressed, he brought her like a poofy pink dress and uh while after she's dressed she
like practices smiling in the mirror she's like looking at herself trying to do like a genuine
smile oh this gives you shivers down your spine uh he takes her upstairs for dinner again um her little handcuffs are are still on and he serves her first
course of pate and she says liver and she says is this hope again and he says no this is Melissa I thought it was going to be Molly
and well she doesn't know about
Molly yeah she doesn't know about
Molly but yeah
and there's a part in here where she like
asks him or no first she says like
she kind of laughs at the name Melissa
she's like she tastes so decadent and her name
is just like Melissa
she's making jokes we're flirting he's
got she knows how to play it yeah he's like so delighted that they can bond over this thing and
share this moment together she asks him if he's ever eaten men he says i have but women just taste better sure and she asks if melissa ever got a candlelit dinner and
he says or he like leads her to uh he unhandcuffs her and leads her to a or not unhand but releases
the cuffs from the chair leads her to there's a painting on the wall and he
lifts it up and behind it are a bunch of cubbies and in each cubby is a photo and cell phone and
like personal belongings of each woman that he has had and there are dozens wow no. And we see in this moment, we see Sammy.
So it's not his wife.
This is when we put that together.
And we see Penny for the first time and Melissa.
And he shows her Melissa and says, this is Melissa.
And I'm like, no, she didn't get a candlelit dinner.
And she's looking around and says, where's my stuff?
And he looks a little embarrassed to admit
your stuff is with me like i keep your stuff with me because you're special okay thank you and
as they're about to go sit back down she sees molly's cell phone in there because she has like a memorable phone case.
And her eyes go wide, but she has to act cool and act like she's still flirting with this man.
And they sit back down and the main course is breast meat.
And he's like, it's it's it's nice it's uh lighter than you'd think it
it might taste even familiar to you yep okay thank you yep thank you oh he's bad he's bad
bad bad bad bad man and she's uh getting pretty drunk or like at least pretending to get pretty drunk and is making more jokes.
She's like, oh, you saved the breast for last.
I was so stupid.
Ha ha ha.
And they're like having a nice old time.
And then she is laughing and then she starts to cry and he like leans forward is like what.
And she's like it's just it's like I'm having such a nice time.
It's just also confusing like I feel awful because I don't feel awful.
And he.
She's smart.
He loves this.
And he's like it's OK. it's just because you're different like i
knew it from the moment i saw you you're different and he they kiss he kisses her and he leans down
and he sees that he forgot to retie her handcuffs and he laughs he's like i forgot to handcuff you
and she's like i know i didn't want to didn'tuff you. And she's like, I know. I didn't want to. Didn't want to tell. She's like, well, you know, whatever. It's fine. Like, you can do it now.
And he like this moment of like her having known she had been not handcuffed, like makes him be like, oh, he trusts her after that.
She didn't want to run away. And she says, do you want to do you want to dance?
He says, do you want to dance?
And this is where they do their little dance that probably now changes the context of how you view that little YouTube clip.
Not nearly as fun as I thought. It is a fun little dance, though.
It's kind of like the ex-Mahina dance.
Yeah, it is.
And they start making their way towards the bedroom.
They're kissing.
She goes to the bathroom, comes back out bedroom they're kissing she goes to the bathroom
comes back out they're kissing more she's taking off his shirt she takes off his pants
and she starts to go down on him and i see his face he is oh god oh god God, oh, God, oh, God, oh, God, oh, God. And she bites his dick. And he screams and looks down and her mouth is covered in blood.
I don't know if she bit the dick clean off, but she bites enough that there is tons of blood.
And as he looks down at her, she presses smears like toothpaste all in his eyes.
And he's that's like what she got from the bathroom.
all in his eyes and he's that's like what she got from the bathroom and he gets she gets his key off of him and just runs and takes off her handcuffs and handcuffs them around the door
handles so like handcuffs the two doors closed uh closing him in there and just smart smart fucking runs down uh opens the basement and and goes down there
and gets molly finds molly and molly of course has had her breasts removed oh and they don't
have time to talk about any of that she unlocks her she like throws her shoes to hers like get
these on like we don't have time to talk like um like get ready she starts heading to penny's room we are like seeing uh steve
furious and in so much pain and like banging on trying to break his way out of the room
screaming things like you fucking bitch i'm gonna cut your heart out and i don't know where that line really got me because he
like means it yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah and she gets penny out we see penny penny is
missing a leg um and like bandaged up in various areas and noah and molly get on either side of
penny so they're like carrying her up they're up. They have to go up like this lot,
this big staircase upstairs.
It's like such a stressful scene.
And we see Steve break out of the room.
He like breaks the doors and gets out.
And he's now in the main level looking for them.
And it's kind of quiet for a bit.
We don't know where they are.
And then the dumb,
the dumb waiter dings. And so and then the dumb the dumb waiter
dings and so he like heads to the dumb waiter like there someone's coming up in the dumb waiter
opens it penny's in the dumb waiter he like goes for her but then molly is like just behind
it like already upstairs and so molly attacks him and this is all in the kitchen now the dumb waiter goes into the kitchen
and so there are just butcher blocks of knives and meat pulverizers and all these things and so
noah also runs out at this moment and all three of them just start attacking him
noah grabs a knife he knocks it out of her hand they're just like pulling knives out of butcher
blocks it's so stressful like there's so many weapons in this room and oh my god this fight is just uh so intense and
uh he like smashes a oh molly hits him with the meat tenderizer right in the face gets him real
fucking good but he gets up quick and like grabs a glass bowl and smashes that over molly's head and then penny like knocks him down then he like kicks penny and then he's
like strangling noah and then penny grabs one of the knives that has fallen and stabs it into his
leg he gets back he like goes back to her pulls the knife out of his leg and like starts holding it to penny's throat we think penny's a goner but then noah bites him and they're like now up on the kitchen island like
everyone wrestling and oh my god and molly fucking kicks him in the face so hard knocks him out
oh hell yeah shit hell yeah We see also at this moment,
Paul driving up,
pulling up to the house
has like arrived
at where the...
Oh my God.
Paul, you have no idea
what you're coming up against.
And...
Paul, you didn't think
it was going to be this.
And the three women
run out of the house
while Steve is unconscious,
but Steve quickly
regains consciousness,
grabs a gun and like
follows them out his face is fucked up his like eyes are like swelling shut and he's been
stabbed and bitten and he's screaming no i like you fucking bitch did he put clothes back on or
is he also he's like he he's wearing his shirt still or his shirt is on and it's like loose enough that it's
covering his like dick area so we can mangle yes so we don't get a good look at what's going on
right what's going on there but he's i don't i'm pretty sure he's not wearing pants so he's out
there chasing them they run just like into the woods because they don't know where the car keys are and uh they i guess paul
must pull up like just after this moment because he doesn't see them and they just run into the
woods and are like hiding behind trees while steve just starts like shooting into the woods
and paul hears gunshots and is like fuck this i'm out and he's like i've seen this movie
i've seen this movie like i don't want to be a part of this and he just fucking leaves and i was
like okay it is a movie about female friendship female friendship he's not gonna save him nope
not gonna be saved by the bartender oh my god so steve's following them and we see his wife
arrive because clearly he's like didn't come
home for dinner and she's trying to figure out what the fuck's going on.
She walks into the house and sees blood and knives all over the floor and two glasses
of wine at the table.
The most important of all.
I don't care that you're keeping women prisoner and selling their meat you can't
have dinner with them yeah she's looking all pissed we see out in the woods steve finds noah
behind a tree and molly yells from behind another tree like over your asshole and she
tackles him and then again all three of them like come down on him and are
kicking him like basically beating him to death they're kicking him and punching him biting him
again this is like i think intercut with like the men eating meat oh and so they're like now
biting him and then they like back up he's like clearly not recovering from this, but he's not dead yet.
And they grab the gun from him and Noah stands over him.
And he's like looking up at her like his face just absolutely demolished.
And she says, give me a smile.
And he looks up at her and smiles with blood all in his teeth.
And she shoots him in the face.
Hell yeah.
So he dead.
Disgusting.
He is dead.
And so then they run back towards the house and are looking for the car keys.
And Noah's like, oh, I got to go back for my phone, which I don't know why she needs to do that.
No, no, no. No, you don't phone, which I don't know why she needs to do that. No, no, no.
No, you don't.
No, you don't.
That's so funny.
That's so funny to go back barefoot in this situation.
Send the police there later.
Yeah, maybe that's what it is.
I mean, she thinks the threat is gone, to be fair.
Oh, God.
But so she goes out and is back in the woods.
but so she goes out and is back in the woods and Ann or Anna,
whatever her name is,
the wife like runs up,
like has like rumpled her shirt and her hair and is like crying and is like,
is it over?
Is it over?
Like,
can,
are we free?
Like,
thank you.
Like,
what did,
what did you find him?
Did you kill?
Oh,
and she sees like,
he's dead. And she's like,
Oh my God,
you did it.
Like,
thank you so much.
And like goes into hug Noah and starts strangling her. And no, like can you so much and like goes in to hug noah and starts strangling her
and noah like can't she's like trying to call out and molly hears something happen like a
muffled scream and is like what the fuck and i guess noah has gotten the car keys sorry at this
point she has the car keys and reaches into her uh dress pocket and gets those fucking car keys sorry at this point she has the car keys and reaches into her uh dress pocket
and gets those fucking car keys in between the knuckles and stabs anna a bunch of times in the
neck and it doesn't kill her uh but then she is noah screams like in this part both of them are
screaming i think and so now molly really hears it and can follow it anna gets like another a second wind still with like her neck bleeding like starts
strangling noah again and molly hits anna with a shovel and like bashes her head in completely
with the shovel kills an Anna and as she's like
doing that she screams women like
you are the problem which I
felt like I don't know if we needed that line
yeah it's a little too
on the nose yeah we get it
um but then
Molly and Noah collapse like
on leaning against a tree
and uh
Noah's like who the fuck is that who is that and molly's like oh
that's that's his wife and noah's like he had a wife he has a wife and molly's like had a wife
and they have a good laugh he's dead now ha ha those two sons going to be just fine. They're going to be just fine. And Noah says,
I fucking love you, Molly. And she says, I love you more. And the camera pans down to her phone
laying in the grass and she gets a text from Chad that says, you up? Then that's the end of the movie wow okay um sammy as someone who has to go on dates i'm sure
this made you feel even more excited to go on more dates texting jenna afterwards like well
this is gonna make dating fun even worse even worse wow yeah you gotta stay vigilant
you gotta stay vigilant is the
takeaway horrific
don't go on a weekend trip
with someone
you've just met
that you don't really know anything about
and do not do it when
if they haven't met your friends do not do it if you
haven't done a little bit of digging
you gotta save a weekend trip for a while into the relationship.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
So, Henley, will you be naming your daughter Noah?
That's the thing.
It's like, I really like that name.
But now, but this movie will get lost.
Lost in the sands of time.
I think by the time your hypothetical next child is born, people won't be thinking
about Fresh. It'd be so
funny. People were like, oh, from Fresh?
Did you name her after Fresh?
Two years ago? Three years ago?
How many? A year ago? Whenever you have your child?
No rush, Henley. Whatever works for you.
Is it spelled like Noah,
the boy's name, Noah? Like Noah's Ark?
No, it's N-O-A.
Noah. That's interesting. Noah. There's no? No, it's N-O-A. Noah.
That's interesting.
Noah.
There's no part of me that wants to see this movie.
Zero part of me that's curious.
Oh my God, no.
Same thing.
You're like, yeah, anybody could fucking know.
I think it's just because you actually don't see that much of the like, I guess you kind of do.
I feel like the end.
The squelching.
I don't like the squelching.
I don't want a super cut of men eating women's bodies either.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Fair.
But yeah, that fight scene at the end also seems like really intense.
But it like feels almost action movie-y.
It's like the kind of thing that I really love.
I like realize there's this part of horror that I love, which is a group of women teaming
up to kill a man that has
hurt them it happens in
Death Proof as well and it's like
I want to watch every movie that this happens
in so listeners if there's a movie I know
it's like spoilery to say but like
I want to see every movie with
a version of this scene of just like
yeah women
teaming up to destroy
a bad man it is cool but yeah that last scene is really
stressful but it's really good i mean i kind of will probably after this just watch that scene
again because i feel like it's it's good i feel terrible i hate, I really hated that a lot. I didn't like it. Yeah, I guess I should have known
that you wouldn't.
I don't know why
I deluded myself for a moment.
Well, because I think
the ending made you so amped.
And I agree with that.
That you're left, because you watched the movie,
so you're left with the ending, which
was like, fuck yeah.
But not having seen it,
I'm left with all the rest.
But this is kind of one that I feel
almost like the retelling
would be a little scary.
Makes it worse.
Because you don't see...
Because it's just the idea of it.
You don't see a ton of the...
Like in the surgery scene,
you don't really see it.
You do see him cutting up
that leg i guess you do see some stuff but i think you probably would imagine it grosser than it
actually is that makes sense um um also just a thought i had when at the end when they're like
getting penny out and this is fucking dark as hell but he is really stupid to not take the legs off of all of his victims first.
That's true.
Yeah. Like, sorry, if that, if, like,
you're keeping people captive, take
their ability to walk out first.
Yeah, that would make a lot of sense. Hot tip
for serial killers out there.
No!
No! But then I guess it's harder to
take care of them. That's the thing.
That makes sense. Yeah, those are big ones.
You really have to take care.
And also, like, keeping them alive is harder.
Well, Penny has one leg, and the jail cells do have, like, handrails.
And so I feel like...
He's definitely preparing for that to happen at some point.
Yeah.
I hate it.
You know, I just don't want to work...
I don't want to workshop this problem, you know? I also, like, I really am really sad. Like hate it. You know, I just don't want to work. I don't want to workshop this problem. You know?
I also, like, I really
am really sad. Like, it really...
Look, they survived,
and they're gonna be fine. And both Molly
and... But her butt.
Molly and
Noah can get, like, they, you know, you
can get plastic surgery.
You can get breast back. You can get
a butt back even but
that really makes me sad i was really having a hard time thinking about losing your butt your
butt being gone i would be it would be i don't know what maybe not everybody has such an attachment
to their butt nobody would be glad if their butt was gone but like for something about that i'm
just like oh my god like i don't
know it's just like not what i would expect i was expecting like he'll take a chunk of thigh
he'll take like he took her butt i don't know that's like so weird and sad yeah no i don't
like it i like a body without a butt like it like it would be really hard and it would hurt and it would be really, I really hate it.
I really hate it.
Incredibly painful.
Incredibly painful.
I just, that's what it is.
I don't like dwelling on this thought.
Well, can we let's dwell on it?
Like, I don't want to like do this.
No, I know what you mean.
Okay, we won't do this.
We're done.
We're done.
I don't want to do this
