What could it be? What could it be?

It only took us four years to get the timing right. What could it be? It's hard to plan ahead sometimes. It really is. Especially there's some holidays that just kind of sneak up, you know? Oh, they really do. But four years, you know, it's lucky, right? Isn't that like a lucky number?

Four leaf clover. Just like a clover. Exactly. We actually planned it to be on the fourth year. Yeah, for that reason. Yeah, that was good of us. So if you want to go straight to our recap of that mystery movie, What Could It Be? of that mystery movie, What Could It Be?

You can check the show notes for time stamps because first, I want to know, did anything scary happen to us this week? Emily. A real standoff here. We're doing a real standoff we're just staring at each other.

Well, okay, I guess I was waiting for someone else to speak so i wasn't sure if i was gonna say this but i am gonna i am gonna say this and the scary thing is happening right now which is i'm forcing myself to put something into an into existence which is that joel and i decided to record a little podcast oh my god everyone's gonna freak out okay don't freak out you guys um look so i'm saying it now which means it's gonna come out but i but i also feel the need to to warn everyone that we are just gonna put it on patreon because it feels like so

So. Yeah. Yeah. Scary.

I can't wait. Yeah. I'm excited. I'm so excited. Anything scary happen to you guys this week? Sammy, you go. Henley just delaying, delaying. We're going to get to you eventually, Henley. That is how this works.

She's hoping we'll just forget um i have not really anything interesting to say but one thing that did happen that was a little scary i was getting gas and the gas station i go to is cheap, so it's always crowded. So I pulled in and there was a car, you know, gassing up in front of me. And then a car pulled in behind me to like wait in line essentially for one of us to leave. But I finished and then I couldn't get out because both of them were there blocking me in. That's annoying. And I walked up to the woman that was waiting behind me and I said, could you move so I can get out? And I didn't mean to sound like a bitch.

I meant it in like a matter of fact way, like you can get gas here now because I'm done, but I can't get out of your way until you get out of fact way like you can get gas here now because i'm done but i can't i can't get out of your way until you get out of my way but i like replayed the moment in my head for like two days does this happen to you guys as well where you're just like 100 like wow i can't believe what a huge bitch i was to that lady for no reason i didn't mean to be a bitch and she was like smiling really big in the way that was like okay bitch oh but it like haunted me and i was like why wouldn't i say like hey excuse me but also like i i just said the facts you know like i need you to move you weren't like hey so i guess the scary thing is also how i am afraid of being straightforward and direct with a person we're programmed to be like god why didn't i preface that with hey so sorry i'm so sorry to be such a huge inconvenience

sorry oh i hate myself can you please scoot your little car so I can get my little I'll take up the smallest possible just move barely any move like I can squeeze right out and you can get in and you can get gas and it'll be your turn for you this is for you I want you to get gas take my car take my car there's gas do you need it do you have enough money to fill up the tank I could

give you I could spot you if you need a 20 it's so true I know what you mean I could spot you if you need a 20. It's so true. I know what you mean. Sometimes things just come out in a way that you aren't expecting. Also, we just don't have enough opportunity to speak to strangers. We just never talk to strangers. So anytime you do it, it's fraught, no matter what.

Especially when you have to ask something of them. It's like one thing to have to speak to a stranger. It's another thing to have a request for a stranger. That does feel like um a bridge too far it really shook me and then the fact that it shook me continued to shake me and i'm still shaking to this day oh she's shaking like a leaf oh no yeah those brains man Sometimes if there's not enough else to catch the thought, it just ping, ping, ping, ping, ping all around in there. Maybe it'll stop pinging. You've released it onto the pod. I hope so.

It can live in the pod. It no longer lives in your brain. It's gone. Or what if I'm spreading it to all of our listeners and it pings around in everybody else's brain? Ping, ping, ping, ping. And then it comes. It's like fucking true.

It's going to come right on back to you. You're going to think about it again. it pings around and everybody else is and then comes it's like fucking stronger and it's gonna come right on back to you you're gonna think about it again yeah i just did the end of the movie where i did my broadcast to be like this isn't my problem anymore it's all of your problems but that's just delaying the inevitable much like henley has been trying to do by not answering this question in the normal order okay okay. Okay. So you're right. I usually go first, don't I? Or second. I have strep throat. I have been in so much pain the past three days. It hurts. It's like hurting me that you are currently speaking. I mean, I know it's your choice and your prerogative and I want you to be here, but I'm like, every time you speak a word,

I'm like, ow, ow, ow. How is she doing this? Ow, ow. If it was yesterday or the day before, I wouldn't be doing the pod. But today, I'm turning a corner and I feel better and I'm still quite sick. But I've just had a debilitating case of strep throat, a very sore throat. Like it hurts. I was just telling you guys before we came on the podcast, but I literally told Tim it's worse than childbirth. And I wish that I had painkillers. Like I wish I had the strongest painkillers in the world. Anyway, it's on the mend. And weirdly, I'm the only one sick in my family, which is the best part. Hopefully no one else gets sick.

That is good. Knock on wood. Hopefully I don't spread it. They're supposed to never get sick again. I feel like we did say that last time they got sick. That was the last time. Yeah, it's really. Ever?

So what the fuck? What the fuck? But I need to tell you guys what I've been doing in my, you know, free time, which is watching season 45 of Survivor. Ooh. That is such a high season number. Can you believe that? Is that the current season?

Absolutely wild. The current season is season 46, but this one just ended. You know, they do two seasons a year. So this is the one that aired like in the fall. Okay. Yeah. Jeff Probst has been doing this for almost 25 years. He's been doing Survivor for 25 years.

That is wild. And man, it is such a delightful experience. Every time. Every time. I gotta watch it. People love Survivor. I always forget. I go back to it.

And then I just, anytime you get into it, it's so entertaining. And it's so delightful. Especially something, what I did was I like put Baby May in her bouncer. And I was like cleaning out the closet. And I just had Survivor on in the background. And I was like, great. Like this is the best my life is going to get right now. Seriously, I'm having such a great time.

And the other thing I do when I watch these shows, completely convince myself that I could do it, which no fucking way. But there's part of me that's like, all I would need to do is I would just need to train for like a year. I would get really good at puzzles. I would get really good at puzzles. I would get really good at like shooting baskets. I would learn how to like husk a coconut. These are not the first two skills I would think would be necessary for the show. I definitely have never watched it because this is not shooting baskets. The challenges are always the challenges.

Constant puzzling. Constant puzzling. Constant puzzling. Huge puzzles. Constant shooting items into larger items. Throwing items into other things. A lot of swimming. A lot of swimming. A lot of carrying heavy things.

Also checks out. A lot of like. I think you could do it, Hen. I think you'd be great at it. I don't think so, you guys. I great at it i i don't think so you guys i don't know i don't think so i don't think i think that if anything in my experience in the corporate world taught me it's that i don't i don't have the political savvy to navigate a survivor like situation the scheming would be really tough for me But all you've mentioned so far is baskets, swimming, and puzzles.

Well, if your tribe always wins the challenges, then you don't have to go to tribal council. So you can make it pretty far. Oh, sure. You can make it pretty far in the game. Yeah, no scheming involved. Yeah. And then the scheming really starts once the tribes merge. And then it's every man for himself.

But I'd be thrilled to get that far so you know i've been watching traitors a lot of the traitors and you better believe i'm watching that too my god and i just haven't watched a lot of competition reality shows and i really am enjoying it and it's a smart thing because it brings people from the u.s version at least brings people from all different reality shows and so it makes me want to go and watch each of their shows as i you know get to know these people and so there's a woman named sandra that's one survivor twice and i'm like i should go back and watch her seasons because she's great that is interesting because i bet they'd be great uh game players you know that's the fascinating thing about this season of the u.s traders is they're half game gamers and half

like personality shows like housewives or below deck where there's not a competition element Housewives or Below Deck where there's not a competition element. And the personality divide is so stark. Everyone on Housewives takes things so personally, whereas all the gamers are like, it's a game. Like, what? Wait. Okay. So I listened to Las Culturistas, Bo and Yang and Matt Rogers talk about this dynamic. And they were saying that the Housewives is a game. They're like, it's not technically a game, but it's a game for who's on top. You want to be like center seat

with Andy Cohen at the end. And so, even though they're... That's like a different kind of strategizing, though, than like... That's like The Bachelor. I mean, you know, I listen to Game of Thrones, which is all about how The Bachelor is also a game.

Yeah, all reality TV is a game. Yeah. Yeah. Love it. how the bachelor is also a game yeah all reality tv is a game yeah yeah love it um anyway that's been giving me life giving me love i'm so sorry you're sick again hen what the freaking heck this is just is going on up there this is the world we live in you guys well i'm gonna check out survivor i think because I'm all done with Traitors now I've watched every iteration I've watched US, UK and Australia so I'm all

out of Traitors you could start with a Mike White season because it's a very entertaining season and you get to watch Mike White so that's a good entrance point but shall we get into this week's movie yes please

I'm ready. I've been waiting four years for this. I've been waiting my whole life. My whole life. My whole life. This week, we are going to be talking about Leprechaun. Nobody guessed it. Nobody guessed it.

You're shocked. Everybody's shocked. Everybody in their homes or cars going, oh! Leprechaun came out in 1993. It was written and directed by Mark Jones, starring Warwick Davis, Ken Olant, Mark Holton, Robert High Gorman and Jennifer Aniston. Whoa. I forgot that. Amazing.

And it is streaming on peacock um yes this is jennifer aniston's first her feature film debut just one year before friends friends was 94 i love seeing actors and things before the thing that's gonna make them really famous. It's that and when actors have colds are two of my favorite things to watch because it's like it feels like the cold thing is like peeking behind the curtain and this scratches a similar itch

in my brain where I feel like I can read the future. Yeah, like I'm watching this going like, you're about to be so famous and I know you don't know. But I know what's about to happen to you about to be so famous and i know you don't know but like i know what's about to happen to you feels like a special thing to experience yeah and anyone can do it at any time all you have to do is find somebody famous find something they were in before they were famous yeah yeah feels like a superhero so you guys have not seen leprechaun obviously no not seen it you kind of could guess the vibe what happens yeah i have a i have

an idea i have a bit of an idea is it a is it a fun time are we having fun it's pretty fun yeah you never know sometimes they sometimes they surprise you these guys we've been burned before yeah i mean there's some things you're not gonna like for sure but say overall we're not going to like for sure, but say overall, we're not going to feel bad when this is over. How similar is it to The Luck of the Irish, the Disney Channel original movie? Great question. You know, I need to rewatch that movie. Wow. I really feel like I know it. I feel like it's like burned into my psyche. I definitely have seen it many times, but I don't know. I've like it's like burned into my psyche i definitely have seen it many times but

i don't know i've forgotten it but i would guess that their high school basketball player starts turning into a leprechaun classic classic tale um i'd guess that they're extremely similar because they're based in facts of irish culture and extremely representative of the truth wait speaking of have you guys seen the trailer for irish wish no but that's a no funny the new lindsey lohan netflix movie uh oh that's right it's new it hasn't come out yet and it comes out march 15th shit well we should have done that movie. But no, we need to do this movie. It's literally rated G.

So I'm sure that it's... Okay, well, this is good to know. I mean, I will be obviously watching. Yeah, I know what I'm doing on St. Patrick's Day. I mean, she is the star of the film. The trailer is her. She's in every single scene. And I'm thrilled to see Lindsay Lohan acting again, because I think she's in every single scene and i'm thrilled to see lindsey lohan acting

again because oh my god yes great actress it's like a it's like a um my best friend's wedding meets um ireland yeah exactly when the love of maddie's life gets engaged to her best friend she puts her feelings aside to be a bridesmaid at their wedding in Ireland. Oh, yes, baby. Yes. Wow. I'm excited. Sorry. Okay.

That's not what we're talking about, but it will be what we're talking about after we've watched it. Lindsay Lohan is back, you guys. She's back. She's fucking back. Thank God. Very exciting. Wow.

Thank you, Henley, for bringing this to our attention. Thank you so much. You know that it was like i got it as an ad before a youtube video or something i was like youtube you know me so well i'm really so happy to see her back me too wow okay some stats for us about leprechaun yes perfect it has a 31% on Rotten Tomatoes, a 17% on Metacritic. Ooh, ouch. Pretty low. And a 4.8 on IMDb.

Okay. Budget was $1 million. It made $8.6 million. Okay. But then went on to make a lot more. I think an additional $15 million in VHS sales because Jennifer Aniston got so famous. And so a lot more i think an additional 15 million in vhs sales because jennifer aniston because of friends so famous and so a lot of people retroactively checked it out hell yeah oh my cats are being crazy sorry if you hear them um i i am now remembering that Jennifer Aniston's in this movie because he told me.

But I definitely had forgotten that. And that's honestly really exciting. And she must have been really young. Yeah. 25 or something. Yeah. I feel like she was like the exact age of her friend's character. Yeah.

About. Yeah. I can't do the math exactly, but it's around 25. Great. Was this your first time seeing this movie, Sadie? It was not. I have seen this movie before. Okay.

I've watched it on St. Patrick's Day. I think I've seen a few of the Leprechaun movies. There are eight of them total. Holy shit. There's Leprechaun 2, Leprechaun 3, Leprechaun 4, Leprechaun in Space. No. Leprechaun 5 is In the Hood. Oh, boy.

Oh, okay. Yeah. Leprechaun. Jamel told us about that one. Yeah. I think he actually specifically mentioned number six, which is back to the hood. Oh, okay. Sorry, I didn't know there was two.

And in the hood is in T-H-E hood. Back to the hood is back to T-H-A hood. Back to the hood. Just feels important to point out. Then there's Leprechaun Origins and Lepprechaun origins and leprechaun returns which was leprechaun returns was just a couple years ago and i was gonna say i feel like that would have had to but not that long yeah and it seems like there might be another one in the works but hard to how many of them are jennifer aniston and just just this one? Just this one. They wanted her back in Leprechaun 2, and she said no.

Nope. I am very famous, and I'm making that good, good network TV money, so nothing. Yeah, so her character gets recast for number two, and I think War davis is in all of them except for one so but other than that not a lot of repeat cast members a lot of one and a lot of one and dones in the franchise jennifer aniston for a while pretended this movie didn't exist she would deny that she was in it that's really funny this is before the internet is pervasive and you can get away with that kind of shit you could sort of get away with it huh what movie no i don't think i was on that one it's not ringing a bell but in 2019 she said in an interview that she re-watched it with uh her then boyfriend justin

thoreau which i think is funny just imagining them two watching that is funny on together for shits and giggles she said and how'd she feel about it she admitted she kept walking in and out of the room oh jennifer getting embarrassed uh this i just liked the wording of this trivia really made me laugh for years critics hated the movie and in recent years that hasn't changed what a great little bit of trivia. It continues. The Chicago Tribune wrote that it brought new meaning to the term bad. The director has reflected on this and felt there's an audience who gets it. He said there was a fan base that understood what I was doing and never took me seriously. It was a fun little movie. I wasn't trying to make The Exorcist or Rosemary's Baby.

I mean, they made eight of them. Obviously, people are eating this shit up. I hope to God he wasn't trying to make Rosemary's Baby. It's called Leprechaun. It's a horror movie about a leprechaun. Yeah, yeah, exactly. And that's all the trivia I have. We will watch the trailer at the end.

That'll be available on our Patreon if you want to check that out. But what do you say we get right into this recap? Let's do it. I say yay. Yay. I was trying to think of any Irish phrase. The flowers in the garden. The flowers in the garden.

Too tarty. Too tart garden. Too tarty. Too tarty. Too tarty. Let's get into it, shall we? 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 and boxer set. Okay. This tank, it's a great little rib tank. Classic. You can wear it every day. You can pair it with jeans. You can wear it out in the world, or you can wear it with this little boxer short that is so comfortable. It is super, super

soft, lightweight rib. They're great. I also truly have been for years stealing Joel's boxer briefs to wear as sleepwear and loungewear. And guess what? That ain't cutting it. I'm not feeling too cute in those. I'm not feeling too comfortable. But Desperate Times, however, Desperate Times know more because Skims has done it. You too can get on board with this. You can see just how cute and comfortable you can be. shop the Skims Soft Lounge Collection at skims.com. Now available in sizes extra extra small through 4X.

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. I've been trying to

go on walks every day and so I need earbuds that I can rely on to listen to all my favorite podcasts and I know you guys listen to podcasts as well so you know what I'm talking about. I got my Raycons in carbon black because that's my vibe but they come in other cool colors as well, like forest green and brush violet. But my favorite thing about them is the battery life. They stay charged for 32 hours and they have a new quick charge function. So 10 minutes of charging gets you 90 minutes of battery life. Really freaking convenient for, I don't know, say a long morning walk. You forgot to charge them and you just need a little bit of juice to listen to one episode of a podcast. It's only going to take you 10 minutes. It's incredible. So go to buyraycon.com slash too scary today to get 20 to 40% off site-wide. That's right. You'll get up to 40% off everything

So it starts immediately right with the leprechaun running down a stairs into his where he keeps his pot of gold. It's more of a sack of gold and he's singing a little ditty. Try as they might. Who steals the gold won't live through the night. He's basically saying, nobody takes my gold. That's the rule. So then we cut to a man named Dan O'Grady coming home to South Dakota after visiting Ireland.

He is Irish. And his wife is greeting him as he's returning from this trip. And he's basically... He's bought her something very expensive. And he's saying, like, we're going to go on this expensive trip or do all this expensive stuff. And his wife is saying,

Dan O'Grady, tell me what's going on here. What's going on? We don't have money for that. Oh, great. here she is she's ready to go he's uh uh tells her that he found a leprechaun and he made him give him his gold so they are rich rich rich now he's got this sack of gold and his wife is rolling her eyes at him i don't think he shows her the gold i can't remember but um she doesn't really believe him and he's like i gotta go hide the gold but i'll be right back and he goes out into the um like a lawn area and i think he's planning to bury it his wife goes inside to make some

pot of tea for him and as she's making the tea we hear a child's voice coming from his suitcase kind of singing and she goes to investigate

this child's voice and opens up the suitcase and out pops the leprechaun. We see his feet stomping out of the suitcase. He's wearing these good high-heeled leprechaun shoes. And he says, do you like me gold buckles on me shoes? Oh, my God. Then he pretty quickly saying, give me my gold back basically i need my gold first things first do you like my shoes second thing give me a gold back exactly

that is very much his priorities throughout the movie and that stays consistent oh okay great he loves his shoes he's yes he does uh the wife is terrified uh he's a pretty nasty looking leprechaun he's not a lucky charms looking guy he's got kind of a gobliny face and um he looks scary so she's backing away from him as he's charging at her asking for his gold back give me my gold give me my gold and she bumps into the door to the basement falls down the basement stairs and snaps her neck oh shit geez okay leprechaun is you know totally fine with this he's like oh should have given me my gold and then he says is that tea do i smell some tea brewing and he goes and helps himself to some tea and then dan comes back to the house and calls out for his wife and the wife's voice responds in here dan i've got some tea for you. And it sounds weird. It's like a little ethereal. It

sounds like disembodied, like it's not coming from one specific place. So he immediately is like, what is going on? And then his wife's voice says, where'd you put the gold, Dan? Where's the gold? And Leprechaun turns the corner, holding a little tray of tea for Dan and asks him where the gold is. And he says, you know, where's my wife? What have you done with my wife? And he says, oh, the poor little lass.

Should have told her to watch her step. Dan realizes that his wife has died and he grabs, he has a four-leaf clover in his pocket and he grabs it and he shoves it in the leprechaun's face. Leprechaun cowers and says, no, no, please put it away. Put it away. So we see this four-leaf clover has a bit of power over the leprechaun and dan grabs a gun and shoots the leprechaun wow and so the leprechaun is unconscious we're getting the impression that he's not necessarily killable in the normal ways so dan takes his body downstairs

into the basement this big wooden crate puts him in the crate nails three nails into the crate seems like not enough not enough but then he's also like dan what the fuck? I know, this is fucked up. Now you're just like, putting a living being into a wooden crate? Like, for some gold that isn't even yours? Really greedy. I don't know about this. This is a comment on capitalism. capitalism so he he hammers those three nails in and then he places the four-leaf clover on top of the crate cut cut to black i mean also if i were him might be holding on to that clover but i guess okay yeah yeah he doesn't even secure the clover to the crate. He just like gently lies it on top. Although, okay, wait, I forgot.

He does, after that, pour gasoline everywhere, like he's gonna burn the place down, but then he has a stroke. Oh. He doesn't die, but he's, that's the end of that scene. He doesn't

burn the place down. Okay. So I guess he did have a bigger plan and sure it didn't it didn't work out that way but now we see a title card says 10 years later wow and we're at the same house it's it's it's like a farmhouse in the middle of nowhere there's not any other houses around and it's looking worse for wear pretty run down it seems like it has been unoccupied for these 10 years so this leprechaun has been in that box for 10 years this leprechaun has been in the box for 10 years oh man and we see a red jeep pulling up with a father and daughter inside. Hot dad. Ooh. And Jennifer Aniston.

Hot daughter. Hot daughter. Dad is JD. Jennifer Aniston is Tori. And she's immediately complaining. This place is disgusting. There's cobwebs. There's spiders.

I can't stay here she's like being very prissy and like ew ew ew like kind of a valley girl vibe and her dad is you know saying like we got such a good deal on this place we're not gonna clean it up it's gonna be great do you feel like you're watching rachel green like what is your feelings when you're seeing jennifer aniston act in this way yeah it does it feels pretty similar to her vibe in friends the first season of friends yeah and she's saying you know i'm not staying here i'm going to a hotel and she whips out her huge mobile phone trying to make a hotel reservation

saying yes I need a room with really tall ceilings which really made me laugh you're gonna hear Bunk meowing he's oh yes I don't know why the tall ceilings line made me laugh i guess because it's small in the

house and she's like needs more space vertically i need more vertical space and as she's making this phone call she bumps into a cute guy who's been hired to uh paint the house. So she knocks over his bucket of paint thinner and then tries to pay him for it. She doesn't say sorry. She's just like, oh, here you go. And like hands him $20. And he says, all you gotta do is say you're sorry.

And Nathan, this is Nathan, he is wearing a purple button-down shirt with the sleeves ripped off. So he's really showing his guns and he's ripped. And Tori is immediately attracted to him. And her dad walks out of the house now and is saying, all right, like we can go to a hotel if you want to go to a hotel. And she's like no no no what are

you talking about like it's i love it here it's totally fine here wait i have i have a question sorry if you said this are they on vacation renting this house are they moving into this house i think they i wasn't sure but in the wikipedia it says that they're fixing it up as a summer house. So I think it's going to maybe be an additional place for them. Because, yeah, they seem rich. Right. And if you're moving into a house, it's crazy to be like, let's actually go stay in a hotel. It's like, no, this is your house now. Like, you have to move into it.

Yeah. You live here now. You can't stay in a hotel forever right yeah and they don't have like boxes of stuff with them okay so got it yeah so i think they're just like remodeling it for a summer house but she sees now that the guy they've hired to help help do that is hot so now she wants to stay there and the guy has overheard her say the thing about the spiders and he laughs at her and he's like it's funny how girls are always scared of spiders and she gets really mad and she says this is the 90s and women are treated as equals

and she's now determined to prove that she's not afraid of anything. And including leprechauns that have been in a box for 10 years. Yeah. We'll see. We see there are two other guys that work with Nathan with this painting company. Their names are Ozzy and Alex. They have their little work truck.

The company name is Three Guys That Paint. I liked that. Alex is a child. Seems like he's about 10 years old. Children shouldn't work, but he seems like the most

business-minded of them all. They're trying to make him this like precocious like sir uh they ask if uh uh tori's dad asks if they need help he's like sir our permits only allow us to handle the the paint equipment like we don't have insurance for you to use it so no thank you and so he's very professional this little 10 year old kid alex and o Ozzy is the actor that's in Pee Wee Herman as Francis that's kind of like the rich guy

with that falls for his little bubble gum prank anyways so Ozzy is they're presenting him as like having a learning disability I guess it's a little it's ableist I'd say and he's kind of

Yeah, it was 93. We are not really checking boxes of writing. Inclusive and appropriate. But it is the 90s. I know women are equal now. Exactly. But yeah, he's like the butt of a lot of jokes.

And so they're pretty much right off the bat making fun of him. And we see Nathan and Tori go down to the basement. And we see that the crate is still there. And we get a little peek inside. And the leprechaun is still there looking very weak, but still alive. Oh, God.

Nathan, for some reason, dares Tori to open the crate, I guess because it looks nasty and covered in cobwebs. And he's like, oh, what could be in there? And they're about to open it when they hear Ozzy scream. And we see that they run upstairs and we see that he has spilled blue paint all over himself and they all laugh oh my god Ozzy

ha ha Tori tells him he can go inside and use the bathroom to clean himself up so he goes in and then while he's in there he hears a little child's voice singing twinkle twinkle, little star. And he follows the singing, and it's coming from that crate.

He presses his ear against the crate. Bunk, oh my God, he's really talkative today. And as he does, he swipes the four-leaf clover off the crate should have secured it onto the floor and the leprechaun's fist punches out of the crate hits ozzy he falls backwards and the leprechaun is walking towards him and he has a he there's he has a potato bug on his shoulder he's known a potato bug is they're so gross yes and he grabs it and he eats it and he says i haven't eaten in 10 years he He was very hungry. And Ozzy's saying, what are you?

What is this? And the leprechaun says, I am a leprechaun. A shoemaker by trade. But more importantly... Ozzy takes pride in his work. Yes. And then he says, but I also like, where's my gold? Shoes first, gold

second. Again. And like where's my gold shoes first gold second again and ozzy stands up and is terrified runs up the stairs of the basement trying to get out the leprechaun shoots a little green magic stream from his fingers to slam the door closed and so he's got some magical powers here but ozzy just turns it around and looks at him and then opens the door and goes out it's pretty funny and the leprechaun says like oh my magic is weak because he's been in a box for 10 years. Yeah. And he doesn't have his gold. Now, Ozzy runs outside to where everybody else is and says, there's a leprechaun downstairs in the basement, a leprechaun. And obviously, nobody believes him. They're laughing at him.

But they can see that he's really worked up about it so nathan says okay we'll go we'll go check it out so they go downstairs into the basement we don't see no leprechaun in sight he's pointing he's like i think he was over there he was over there and then behind where the crate was there's a little cutie rat crawling around cute and they all say it was just a rat ozzy now we've solved the mystery obviously what you were seeing was in fact a little rat yes and not a leprechaun not a human creature so nobody believes in that this leprechaun is there. So we all go back outside now and a rainbow is forming in the sky, a magical rainbow. There's not a single cloud in the sky. would be happening. No, it's a sunny, cloudless day. And

Alex and Ozzy run to the end of the rainbow. I think Ozzy probably says something like he was looking for his gold and, you know, there's pots of gold at the ends of rainbows, so let's go check it out. So they run to the end of this rainbow,

and sure enough, they find his bag of gold. Alex is- That was easy. Very easy. But I think the leprechaun was, you know, trying to- Trick him. Find it for himself, but they got there first.

Oh, I see. And so Alex is very excited, like, like oh my god we got this bag of gold so we can finally get your brain surgery so that you can be smart ozzy oh that's real don't don't love that uh and they say how do we know that it's real gold and ozzy says you bite it and he bites one of the coins and then accidentally swallows it. He's got a gold coin in his belly now. Uh-oh. Oh, no.

Don't love that for him. Is this going to be like a Pirates of the Caribbean situation where we need every coin? Yeah. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. God damn it. yeah god damn it we see tori and nathan back in front of the house tori's getting something out of the back of their pickup truck when she feels something stroking her leg we see below the truck the leprechaun is there going oh like turned like turned on by her shins, just like stroking them.

And she smiles and she goes, Nathan, stop. And then turns and sees Nathan is behind her in a way that obviously can't be him stroking her legs. She screams and then gets a scratch. As she jumps back, we see three like nail scratches on her leg. And Nathan and Tori's dad run to her because she, you know, screams and see that she's been scratched by something. And they say, oh, it must have been like a raccoon or something. And she says, no, it was someone's hand was touching me. So it was a hand.

And they're like, no. No, I think it was a rat. It was probably a rat or a raccoon. Raccoons do have little weird hands. They do. Yeah. And you wouldn't think it was a leprechaun. You wouldn't.

No, no, no. No. No. And you wouldn't think it was a leprechaun. You wouldn't. No, no, no. No. No. And so they're trying to figure out, they're looking around trying to find the culprit when they hear a meowing coming from a hole in a tree, like a little squirrel hole. And the dad says, Tori, it was a cat. Of course, it was this cat. And the meowing continues. It's very funny to confuse a cat paw for a human hand. And the dad goes up to this little hole and is trying to get the cat out, says like, poor little guy, he's probably scared him in there in there like we got to get him out of there reaches his hand into this hole

oh boy and of course screams pulls his hand back's got a big bite mark on his arm looks like a human bite. And it looks bad. It's deep. He needs to go to the hospital. So they pile into the pickup truck. Nathan, all five of them, Nathan, Tori, Ozzie, Alex, JD, dad, and the car's not starting. and the car's not starting. So they say, Alex, like, check under the hood. Alex, the little 10-year-old, lifts up the hood of the car and just, like, lightly wiggles some wires. It's like, try it now. It looks so funny. It's just like, do-do-do-do. He does absolutely nothing, but it works.

It works. Oh, great. Car starts now, and take jd to the hospital alex and ozzy leave them at the hospital to go to the town pawn shop to see the value of these coins and the pawn shop owner is very interested in these coins and says, yeah, these look legit. He reaches into a bookshelf behind him, pulls out a book called Ancient Coins of Ireland.

This is South Dakota, a pawn shop in the middle of nowhere in South Dakota. But he's got this book on hand and he says, do you mind if I keep one of the coins to like fully inspect it and figure it out and you can come back tomorrow and I'll give you the full evaluation or whatever. So they

say, okay, they leave. Man, we are just separating these coins from each other left and right. Yep. And so Alex and Ozzy leave them there they go back and join with uh tori and nathan they're all at a diner getting some dinner but we stay with the pawn shop owner as he's in the store it's nighttime now they're there it's closed up I think he's the only one in there and he is about to put the coin in his

safe when he opens the safe and out jumps the leprechaun wow and he attacks him bites his leg or something and knocks him over and is taunting him he's really silly he has a

lot of fun doing this kind of stuff he's goes and grabs a pogo stick and says we're gonna play and he pogo sticks him to death like jumps on his chest over oh my god and over. Did you guys have a pogo stick? Yeah, but I had one with a ball on the bottom. It was like a handball type of thing. So it wasn't... I couldn't do this with mine. Uh-huh. Okay.

I never had a pogo stick. I feel like I was not good at anything involving balance in that way. I would like to try not good at anything involving balance in that way. I would like to try a pogo stick again. I feel like I did one recently and I don't know why. I can't think of the context. It feels like it's probably not fun, but it must be, right?

Otherwise, why would it exist? But the idea right now of standing on a stick that bounces, I can't fathom why that would be enjoyable. There are so many physical activities that are fun for children that are not fun for adults. Yeah. I'm just going on the swings. I don't like going on the swings anymore. It gives me a headache. Yeah.

It's so sad. Like my brain is like this. The thing or like my brain is like rattling around my skull. I can't catch up. There's like too much space between my brain and my skull now. But you know what I did do recently? A skip it. Do you guys remember skip it?

I like a skip it. That was fun. I had a good time with a skip it. Oh, I bet that it was fun. Yeah. Wow. So many children's toys are just like ways of getting out energy. Oh, for sure.

Basically, like just exercise. I mean, I loved a hula hoop and I think I still would like a hula hoop. I'm very bad at a hula hoop. Always have been. I'm really good at it. Really good. I bet you are. That honestly like really checks out.

Were you ever good at jump rope or double dutch? Uh-huh. Fucking love double dutch. If I could do some double dutch right now, I would be so happy. I don't think I ever did double dutch. I definitely jumped at jump rope. Cinderella dressed in yellow went downstairs to meet her fella. I never was in a situation where there were two ropes going.

That was way above my pay grade. Only one rope ever for me. Yeah. Yeah. I could do a two rope. I could do a two rope situation. I don't know if I still could, but I used to be able to. I don't think I still could either, but.

That's impressive. It's hard. Once again, it's's like do i want to just like have to jump up and down a bunch that's crazy no you get shin splints immediately like it's your body oh shin splints owie owie owie i remember those oof so okayStick. Sorry, that just really took me to a moment in time. Sorry, this reminded me, I meant to talk about the commercials that played on Peacock before this movie. Oh, yes. Oh, that's important. skims commercial and it uh involved it's uh like a hundred kim kardashians as if she's a scientist in a lab testing the wow all the bras and underwears and one of the tests is she's on this like very bouncy machine and it's very funny because she's making sure her boobs stay secure in the bras. Very important. I mean, smart. Yeah, it's a funny commercial

and then it played a CVS commercial and then it played a Traders commercial and I was like, this is all my favorite stuff. Yeah, weird. That's too much. I don't like that. It is scary. Then it played the commercial with Jennifer Aniston

and previous podcast guest Lisa Gilroy. And that felt fitting as well. Yeah. It's all tailored to you. Mm-hmm. Hope Lisa got paid for that. I don't know how it works on streaming. I don't think they get paid per play on streaming.

Probably not. But everybody watch some watch some cable uh so he kills this shop owner with the pogo stick and afterwards he notices that his shoes have some blood splatter on them and so he polishes his shoes for him. Okay. Great. And he gets that one coin back and so he he's got that coin and he says one down, 99 to go.

So we know there's supposed to be 100 gold coins. And in this pawn shop there is a child's size toy car that he steals and drives around town. And he's driving it down the street when he gets

pulled over by a cop. The cop thinks he's a child in a mask and is like, alright kid, you're too young to be driving. Take off that mask and he leans down to the leprechaun and the leprechaun puts his whole hand over the cop's face and like digs his nails it's almost as if he's about to rip his face off he doesn't but he all his he's got nasty long fingernail, like talony fingernails that stab into the cop's face.

The cop is screaming. The cop now runs into the woods, even though he was in a car. So I don't know why he did that. But leprechaun's chasing him through the woods now and is giggling and having a grand old time popping out from behind other trees being like, hey, hello, hello, and just messing with him. And the cop, eventually, he's hiding behind a tree and the leprechaun, like, appears through a branch above him and jumps down onto his shoulders, snaps his neck, kills him. Wow. We see our four main characters back at the diner. Tori is being a brat about the diner food, which I thought looked really good.

Yum. thought looked really good. Yum. And she says, all I want is a watercress salad and a bottle of Evian. They're really making her this kind of character. Right. Because it's the 90s and women are

equal. A bottle of Evian too. Evian water is like a status symbol. It's so fascinating to think about. Yeah. Remember, what was the movie where her name is Evian? The Molly Shannon movie?

Oh, I don't know. I don't know. Oh, God. It's the one where Molly Shannon's famous for. Oh, Superstar? Yeah, Superstar. And her nemesis is named Evian. That's really funny.

That's very funny. I gotta rewatch that movie. So Tori is upset, obviously, because her dad is in the hospital. And Nathan says, look on the bright side, Tori, at least the worst is over. Always love to hear a line like that leprechaun now is back at their house tory's house ransacking it looking for that gold and you know he's tossing things out of cabinets he's uh just absolutely tearing the place apart and then he finds their shoes in the closet and he starts polishing those shoes and lining them all up on the table, making all the shoes look pretty. Then they get home and he's nowhere to be seen, but they see like something was in here. What the hell happened? They assume it's, again, raccoonsons something like that of course and ozzy says it's the

leprechaun he talked about the shoes he said he's a shoemaker and he cares about the shoes so it was obviously the leprechaun ozzy making a lot of sense here. They're saying, no, of course, it's not a leprechaun, Ozzy. That's insane. Obviously, a raccoon came in here, shined our shoes, and threw everything out of our drawers. A raccoon with human hands and a human jaw. Yeah. So they're all sitting in the house trying to clean it up a bit. And they hear a noise outside. Nathan goes out to investigate.

It's nighttime. He's got a flashlight. He's trudging through the yard when he steps in a bear trap. Aye yi. Gets him on the leg. And the leprechaun pops out laughing like, gotcha. And the leprechaun has, I think, an ax. And he's like, time to amputate.

And he's trying to cut off Nathan's leg. The rest of them obviously hear this commotion and Nathan had screamed. And so they all run out now. And we all see the leprechaun now. So everyone see the leprechaun and say, yay. You all see the leprechaun now. Everyone see the leprechaun and say, yay. Y'all see the leprechaun and say, hey. Rough sketch of the leprechaun. Man, that video is good.

So it's chaotic, and we're trying to fight off this leprechaun. They have a gun that they're trying to get, but it doesn't have bullets in it, so we're trying to load the gun. And everyone's freaking out. And they say, Ozzy, go call the police, call the police. Ozzy runs inside, calls the police, says, we're under attack by a leprechaun. Send everything you got, send the Navy, the Army, the Navy, it's a leprechaun, leprechaun's attacking us.

Yep, they're not going to believe that. Obviously, the cops are out there laughing, they say, oh, it's just Ozzy again. Oh, God. They say, what, it's just Ozzy again. Oh, God. They say, what was it last week? Aliens or something? Which, honestly, now we're suspecting maybe those aliens were real. Were there, yeah.

They get the shotgun loaded, and they shoot the leprechaun and he falls behind a bush and they just unload all the bullets into this bush where they think he is and they run to the car back to the pickup truck and all pile inside just to get away from here and once again the car is not starting they say alex go do your magic under the hood go gently nudge a couple wires while this threat is out here let's have the child get out and alex does look scared he's tiptoeing and he opens the hood and wouldn't you know it a leprechaun is in there. A little foreshadowing of leprechaun in the hood, perhaps. That's what the movie's about. A leprechaun inside the hood of a car. In the literal hood.

Only that over and over and over again. Yeah. Gotcha again. They were enough for two movies of a leprechaun inside the hood of a car. The leprechaun is attacking them now it uh breaks the windshield of the car it bites ozzy's ear and they're all screaming tori uses the cigarette lighter in the car gets that hot and presses it into his nose. Nice. So he falls backwards, gives them a second to,

I don't know. They don't, they don't get away because the car is not, it's still not working. He didn't get a chance to nudge those little wires back and forth. So there's, you know, trying unsuccessfully turning the key in the,

in the engine. It's not, not happening. Leprechaun goes and gets his little toy car and T-bones them. And their car flips so many times from this tiny little toy car hitting it. The physics of it are impossible. But it's very funny. But it's very funny.

So the car rolls and they somehow immediately get out of it. Because as the leprechaun runs to check, he opens the door. They're all gone. They've made it back inside. And he's right on their tail. And as they're about to slam the door closed, he reaches his hand in and they slam it and it slices Leprechaun's hand right off. Oh, but the hand stays alive. Alive.

Man, you really don't want a door to be that sharp. That's a sharp door. This worked now. But can you imagine? Maybe his hands are really soft. He has been in a box for 10 years yeah yeah it really softens the joints so the hand is inside the house and his body is outside of the house but the hand crawls up the door and opens it for him so now he now he gets inside tori's found her huge mobile phone calls 9-1-1 says something not about the leprechaun says we're being attacked we need help send help but then her phone dies but

they we did see that it went through and then the sheriff got the call. So now she says, it's okay. They're coming. Oh, I guess the leprechaun is still outside, but his hands inside. And also, I don't think we see any moment of the hand rejoining the body, but he does have his hand again in later scenes. So something, I guess he has, yeah, magical healing abilities. Okay. We see the sheriff putting out the call to the deputy and saying, I need you to go to this address, the closest one in the area, and I need you to go to this address. And the deputy says, yep, I'm on it.

And then we see in the cop car, it is the leprechaun using his voice tricks. And it is the cop's car that he killed the cop. Oh, no. Oh, no. Back in the house, the gang is freaking out. What does this leprechaun want? And Ozzy lets it slip that they did steal a bag of gold from it, and Alex had been saying, you know, to keep this between them

because they want to keep the gold for themselves, so Alex is annoyed and says, Ozzy, come on, we weren't supposed to tell them that. Well, Alex, circumstances have changed. Yes, things have changed, and it is time to- And you are a child, so I guess, you know, forgive you for not understanding the gravity of the situation yeah so ozzy comes clean says we we do have his gold

and we hid it in the well outside so nathan meanwhile is he's losing a lot of blood we were trying to get him to the hospital for this bear trap in his on. They've gotten the bear trap off, but he's bleeding a lot. And so he's not in the best condition. So Tori is going to go out to the well to get this gold. She's a woman and she's not scared of anything. That's right. This is the 90s. The 90s. And she goes out to the well and cranks it up, brings up that bucket and grabs the bag of gold from it as the leprechaun appears and is, you know, about to attack her. But then she waves the bag and says, I've got your gold. I've got it. And like throws it at him. He's giddy, he's so happy, he's like, dude, this is me gold, looks like me gold, smells like me

gold, tastes like me gold, and he's like, thank you so much, my lady, and runs off with his bag of gold, and we see them, her going back in the house being like, it's all over, he got his gold, it's fine,

he's perched up nearby the leprechauns perched up nearby go and dumps the bag of gold out and is like one two three four counting so we know in just a moment he's gonna find out there's one missing uh inside they oh but as and also as he has the gold back his powers are returning because that has been part of why he's been weak is because he's been separated from his gold and inside everybody's still you know pretty on edge uh and they have various weapons we've got the shotgun someone's got a baseball bat and one of them has the wrong fireplace tool it's like the little shovel that you use to oh yes yeah there's a better there's a better tool there get the poker and that really made me laugh felt like it was just for me.

Although the shovel could work too. It's pretty sharp. Sharp edges on that shovel. It's better than nothing. It's better than the little broom. The broom. Better than the broom. Well, just you wait, because as it goes back out and we see the leprechaun counting to 99 and realizing one is missing. We come back inside.

Oh, no. He has switched to the little broom weapon. And we see the full fireplace set behind him. To be fair, it does look pretty shitty. It's like a flimsy little Walmart set. They're all pretty small. And so. And not ideal. None of them are great but

it's just very funny that he's he's switched to the broom uh alex goes to open the fridge for some reason i can't remember why and out pops the leprechaun give me i'm missing a piece of gold. Give me me gold. And they get into a fight and the leprechaun is pushed onto the, against the stove and uses his hand to catch his balance, but puts it right on a hot stove plate and then uses a little spatula to pry his hand off. Gross. He's chasing them all through the house, fucking with them. There's a part where

he's on a skateboard and they're trying to shoot at him, but he's like skating down the halls going, hee hee hee, diddly dee, diddly doo, a leprechaun is me. Like singing little diddies. And the house phone rings. Tori answers it thinking

it's maybe the police or something. Tori's saying hello and on the other end of the line is Leprechaun saying, give me my gold, my gold coin. And she rips the phone off the wall, throws it down onto the ground, and it rings again. And she answers it. And Leprechaun says, maybe you need a hand. And a little hand comes out of the phone. So maybe this is his little hand regenerating. Whoa. me i ate it swallowed it and he's about to sacrifice himself for the for the group and say you know what you're what you're looking for is is me i have the last coin in my belly and tori says no no ozzy you can't do this and then o Ozzy has a little light bulb moment and he says, old man O'Grady might know how to defeat a leprechaun. He was the previous owner of this house. He's now in a old age home, but we could go and ask him if he knows anything. and ask him if he knows anything.

So they all run out to the dad's Jeep, the red Jeep. They've had a second vehicle this whole time, and they just kept trying to use that pickup truck. Oh, boy. So they get in the Jeep, and as they're running out, out i mean they're being chased by the leprechaun he's right right behind them so they have grabbed the box of freshly polished shoes and they are just throwing them in the dirt and and dust all around and the leprechaun is so stressed and he's like and like runs and he's polishing and he's trying to get it's really funny that's a very great very smart perfect weakness perfect weakness and so they're able to get away because he can't leave the shoes dirty yep yep yep and

he finds some roller skates and so he skatesates after them, but they're going to get there first. They're going to beat him, obviously. So we see Tori goes into this retirement home. There's someone at the front desk sleeping, so she's having to tiptoe because this is in the middle of the night. She knows they're not going to just let her in there. night she knows they're not gonna just let her in there and there is one clipboard on the desk that just says room numbers really big great and she quietly grabs that flips it flips the page and is able to find daniel o'grady's room number and then goes in like through the hallway, down the hallway, towards the room.

And this is now being filmed with these very canted angles, like the directing style here gets a little artsy. And she finds his room and opens the door and he's sitting facing away from her and she's saying, are you Daniel O'Grady? And he says, yes. And she says, we need your help. There's a leprechaun. We think you might know how to defeat it.

And he says, you just gave him back his gold coin. And turns around and it's the leprechaun in a wig and he's sitting in dan's wheelchair and so she runs out and he's chasing her down the hall in the wheelchair and she goes into the elevator and the elevator's doors close before he gets there so she's safe momentarily and then through the top of the elevator crashes dan's body like he was being stashed there very convenient because he is still alive and in his dying breaths she says we got to get you to a hospital he says no no it's too late for that but i gotta tell you how to defeat this leprechaun. She's crying. Her tears in this are so thick, they look like gelatin.

It's very funny. And Dan is able to tell her in his dying breath that what you need is four-leaf clover. That will defeat the leprechaun. Oh, easy. that will defeat the leprechaun oh easy so there's a clover field in looking by the uh by their on their property so they rush back to the house she's looking through the clover field but there's so many or it's gonna be so hard to find a four-leaf clover wait have you guys found four leaf clovers i don't think so i don't think so either so i went through a period of time in my life but to be fair

i've never really looked yeah i mean give me a field of clover and we'll see i went through a period of time in my life where i found them all the time what the heck i would i one time I was telling someone, I was in like high school when this happened and I was telling someone, I was saying, you know, I find four leaf clovers all the time. And I looked down and I found one and I literally looked down and picked one up and showed them. And I was like, here is a four leaf clover. Wow. Like, and then it ended and I haven't found, and I actually saw this and I did find a four leaf clover when we first moved into this house. We found one outside, but, um, I didn't found, and I actually said this and I did find a four-leaf clover when we first moved into this house.

We found one outside. But I didn't find one for a really long time. Apparently the odds of a four-leaf clover, finding a four-leaf clover are one in 10,000. So pretty cool. Well, we know who we need by our side if we're ever fighting a leprechaun. Yeah. Right. I will find you a goddamn four-leaf clover in a heartbeat. That's good to know.

So she is searching through this little clover field, not finding anything. And she gets separated from the rest of the group. And the leprechaun is still hot in pursuit and she runs down the street and sees the cop car and thinks, oh good, like well, help is here. Runs to the car,

sees the cop's dead body in the passenger seat. Oh no. And the leprechaun pops up. She grabs the police baton from the from from the cop and stabs it into the leprechaun's eye and the leprechaun reaches over to the cop plucks out one of his eyes and pops it in his head that's how that works right. That's how that works, right? That's definitely how that works. He could regrow a hand, but he has to take somebody else's eyeball. It's like a Mr. Potato Head situation.

Just take a body part and slot it in. Yep. And she's screaming. And so the rest of the friends hear her and arrive and Nathan shoots Leprechaun right in the chest. Seems like a pretty good shot. But we know that gunshots haven't seemed to work in the past. So we're just rushing back to this clover field. We're going to look for this four-leaf clover.

It's our only hope to fully defeat him. And they look for a second, and then Tori says, like, it's no use. We're never going to find one, which is very funny to me, because it's literally the only option that you have. And why would you give up after, like, two minutes of searching? Ozzy says some encouraging words to her, like it's, we're going to find one, it's going to be okay. And sure enough, the second he does, she finds one. It glows a little, a little green glimmer

to let us know that it's magical. And Alex at this time is in the barn trying to find another weapon or something, and the leprechaun attacks him in there, and they hear that happening, and they all run into the barn, and the leprechaun runs out of the barn, and I can't remember where everybody is in all this commotion, but the leprechaun is running out of the barn and runs past Nathan and says, how's your leg? And kicks him in the leg where the bear trap was. And Nathan falls over in extreme pain. The leprechaun then attacks Ozzy because he wants that coin in his stomach. We're presuming he's just going to rip open his stomach. He's on top of Ozzy. Ozzy's screaming when Alex takes the four-leaf clover from Tori, takes the gum out of his mouth, wraps the four-leaf clover around the gum, and then grabs a slingshot out of his pocket. There we go. And pulls it back and calls out to the leprechaun.

Leprechaun turns, and Alex says, fuck you, Lucky Charms, and slingshots that four-leaf clover right into his mouth. Great. There we go. Immediately, the leprechaun is choking and shaking and something magical and bad is happening. His skin starts melting and it's kind of like Chucky and what was that other one? Gremlins. Gremlins. Yeah.

Where they just, he gets like so nasty and, and they kick him into the well. He's still yelling, I want me gold. Just give me me gold. still yelling, I want me gold! Just give me me gold! And Nathan comes out now and grabs a can of gasoline and pours it into the well and lights a match, and this well explodes so big. And then the cops arrive. We're getting a wide shot of

looks like the sun is rising and everyone's going to be okay. and something about how even if his soul is trapped in here, it doesn't matter because he just simply can't rest until he finds his gold. And that's the end of the movie. Wow. Wow. Why did Jennifer Aniston not want to watch this film? I don't understand. Yeah, I don't know why this isn't her proudest.

Cinematic achievement. It was fun. I had a good time. Yeah. yeah I don't know why this isn't her proudest cinematic achievement it was fun I had a good time yeah it's very silly and I am I know I have seen one of the other ones but I can't remember which one but they seem like they'd be a fun watch

they were so confident they were going to have another one that was and they were right pure confidence another one. That was... And they were right. Pure confidence in the end. He knew. He knew. That is great. It was great. I love any opportunity to get to
