Didn't Watch. Hi everyone, welcome to Too Scary, Didn't Watch, the horror movie recap podcast for those too scared to watch for themselves. I'm Emily and I am too scared to watch scary movies. I'm Henley and I'm also too scared to watch scary movies. And I'm also too scared to watch scary movies. And folks, we are lacking because normally who we have here is Sammy, our third host, who is brave enough to watch scary movies, who usually does that for us. And when she's too busy to join us, such as tonight, we got to buckle up. It's just us.

It's just us. We got to figure it out. We hate to be without sammy for so many reasons um but you know what life is life happens and we just gotta make it work and that's what we're doing this week um but before we get into all of that henley friend, how are you? What is up? I am good. Yet another week where I will just say some inane thing that happened to me this week. I absolutely love it. Sure, why not? So I have a sand-themed comment. themed comment. Sand themed. So it's in the theme of sand.

It's in the theme, general theme of sand. Okay, wonderful. Are these two things I want to point out? Oh, two separate, great. Two separate things. One, I got a new perfume this week which I am very excited about and very into. It's called Beach by Bobbi Brown.

And it just smells like sunscreen. Like, I'm not going to lie. I'm not going to lie. It's just sunscreen smelling. Oh my God, I love it. But it really does give that like visceral reminder. Yes, you feel like summer. Yes, it feels like summer because it really

is just that very unique smell of what you smell like when you're on the beach and it's so nice especially being in the middle of a city and not being anywhere close to a beach right now it's a really fun like little treat to get to smell like a beach. I just, I'm like, I'm enjoying it so much. Um, and then, you know, what else is on theme? The other thing I wanted to mention in this sand theme is that, um, I started reading, I started reading Dune. Okay. And I'm really enjoying it i you know i wanted to read it before seeing the movie which comes out later this year um starring our favorite timothee chalamet

our favorite timothee it's about it's a movie filled with the hottest cast of actors it looks very so good zendaya i mean i can't fucking wait um rebecca ferguson oscar isaac they're all so good and so hot i mean we're blessed it's a perfect movie and i i've watched the trailer so many times and i was like i should just read this book um and honestly usually i don't really enjoy sci-fi that much, to be completely honest, but I'm automatically hooked. I'm really into it. I'm really enjoying myself, maybe because I'm imagining the main character to be Timothée Chalamet, and that's doing wonders for me.

Yeah, that's great. But anyway, that was my sand-themed comments for this week. Wow. Theming our check-ins is a really fun idea that will certainly not last because how could it, but I really like it. And Henley, I do have a question for you,

which is, are, do you have like a lot of love for the beach? Like when you think about being in the beach, that calms you. That's, that's a nice feeling. I do really like the beach.

Yeah. I think I always feel really i always feel better after going to the beach all day you know yeah well i do remember we celebrated your engagement at the beach yeah lovely yeah that's true do you wait how do you feel about the beach you know i associate the reason i ask is because some people have like a deep like for many people, the idea of being at the beach is very calming. For me, I associate it with stress, which which I'm trying to change in my adulthood. I think it's because I grew up in South Florida. The beach. I was always very close to the beach. I could get to the beach in 10 minutes. So it wasn't a novelty.

minutes so it wasn't a novelty and it was always associated and even out here with like traffic and parking and and like where am i going to go to the bathroom if i have to and and and it's like a teen like a lot of body image insecurity and being like oh i'm gonna have to go to the beach and like i'm gonna feel weird and um wow different experience because i did very different and and but now there are some beaches that i find very relaxing. And so I'm basically I would like to reset my brain to find the beach to be a calming place because it's just like deeply ingrained in my brain that that the beach is stressful, which is not not good. I don't blame you for feeling that way, though. I mean, growing up in Florida and having to be a teen on a beach is sounds fucking horrible to me it's awful and the beaches were crowded because then it's like spring breakers come and then it's like crazy and i just i don't know i don't have love as much love for the beaches i would like to have so you know maybe i'll buy that perfume and just sort of just put myself in a calm state of mind and imagine that the beach is a lovely place um well one of my favorite places

to go when i lived in la was point doom or little doom and i don't know whether you've been there before but i have i've heard of it um if not definitely go you it's a kind of a hike to get there but there's like no one there once you're're there, it's completely empty. And it's you're underneath these cliffs. And there's beautiful just stretch of sand. And there's like one little cove that's always filled with surfers. I like a cove. But then everywhere else is just basically empty beach. One time it was just me and Tim and one guy who was sunbathing nude.

And that was it. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. How fun. Yeah. So go there. You don't often see a man sunbathing nude. And that's exciting to me.

He was so tan. You can only imagine. Was he face down or face up? He was face up. Wow. He was face up. Yeah. And he was just a brown raisin cooking in the sun.

And it was him and me. I feel like it's really bold to be open to sun exposure on your penis. But maybe if you're used to it, I feel like that could cure asking for trouble. But that's just the first thing that comes to mind for me you know you know he i bet he's the type of guy too who like talks about it a lot like he's like yeah he loves that he tans nude yeah he loves that about himself and i'm good for him honestly i am interested in his life story um i'm gonna tangentially stay on the sand theme um in that i'm discussing the sand man meaning i'm discussing a dream did i connect the dots there perfectly it makes perfect sense great um and and and it's i think people hate when people talk about dreams i guess it's

like stupid who Who cares? But again, nothing's happening in my life. And Henley, this dream is about me and you. And so I want to tell you, I almost texted you the other day. I was like, save it for the pod. And this dream, Henley, you and I were both contestants on The Bachelor. Oh, my God. What? But like but clearly because we just wanted to see the bachelor mansion we like

like we were just like hanging out and we're like isn't this so cool we're at the bachelor mansion and we were like trying to take pictures on our phone and like we were just sort of having a good time and then it was a rose ceremony and i was like oh fuck this is a dating show like it like hit me that i was like oh my we're like on a tv show and it is a dating show neither of us are single so they're I was like they're gonna know we're here for the wrong reasons and so I was like okay I have if I don't get eliminated in this rose ceremony which I was like I definitely will and it was Matt James by the way and I was like not even so I have no connection like I'm gonna get eliminated but then I didn't I was like oh my god I'm gonna have to I was like I like my boyfriend I like want to stay in my relationship I like I don't want to be with Matt James I'm

gonna have to self-eliminate um and I was like man bachelor clues and pace case are gonna be really disappointed because they view self-elimination as an error and I was like how did I get here this isn't what I want to do anyway that was the dream my bachelor god I first of all I think it is so flattering anytime anyone tells me that I'm in their dream I think it's like the biggest compliment you could ever give someone because which is funny because I definitely dream about random fucking people all the time the things that the mind does in sleep yeah there's no sense to it there's no there's no there's no sense to it at all um like i feel like i dreamt about my like sixth grade math teacher the other night for like yeah it's very strange the little uh crevices of our brains

that pop out um but also the fact that i was in a Bachelor-themed dream is unbelievable to me because you know that my New Year's resolution was to watch The Bachelor. I know. I couldn't even fulfill it. I know. And I just put you right in it. You just forced me right back into it. Wow. My married pregnant friend, almost married pregnant friend uh dating matt james

with me and truly it was like we were both like this is the mansion oh my god this is these are the steps that they stand on in the rose ceremony oh my god it's so fun and i was like no wait we're in it um it was weird that's like it's like a it was like a fun experience until it wasn't until it was just anxiety like sort of got in too deep like i even was like wait i'm on like a show like this is a tv people are gonna watch this we're gonna be on tv for this and i was like not okay with um my decisions and how i had gotten there and it's suddenly suddenly being exposed to i feel like that's a very common thing oh god i don't want to oh you know that's a good that's interesting henley what is that about maybe it has to do with like re-emerging into society it's giving me a lot of anxiety and yeah oh wait no we're here

this isn't just a fun like look look we're in a restaurant oh it's like oh my god no no like life is on and you have to deal with and like people can see people can see you you know you're there to be seen oh did we just crack the code on this dream? Holy shit. I'm going to start talking about my dreams every episode. This is a dream analysis podcast. Holy shit. We found the meaning. We found the meaning of Emily's dream. Found the meaning.

Wow. And on that note, should we talk about the fact that you were very brave this week? I was very brave this week. I watched the movie. And you know what? So I did a thing that I always do. Every time I have to watch a movie for this week. I was very brave this week. I watched the movie. And you know what? So I did a thing that I always do. Every time I have to watch a movie for this podcast. I have to. Every time I'm the one who watches a movie for this podcast,

I do this thing where I'm like, okay, I'm going to watch a scary movie. And I'm like, okay, I'm going to watch one. I get all excited and I decide I'm going to watch a scary movie. And then I sit down to choose. And I'm like, no, that's too scary. No, that's too scary. And I don't pick a scary movie. And then when the movie's over, I'm disappointed because I didn't get as scared as I thought I was going to get. I did a

similar thing this week, you guys. This week's movie is Overlord. And it is very good. I will say this. I really liked it. It is a horror movie, but I didn't find it all that scary, if you know what I mean.

But I'm glad that I watched it. I've never even heard of this movie before. I hadn't either. But I bet if you look at the poster, you'd be like, oh, my God, I've seen that poster. I've seen it every time I open my Prime to watch something. It's always like, do you want to watch this? Which makes sense because it is confused by the horror movie trailers that I've watched and thinks that you want to watch this um which makes sense because it is confused by

the horror movie trailers that i've watched and thinks that i want to watch horror movies but also it's also an action movie i would call this a horror action and you know that i love action movies i love action movies i think it's my favorite genre of movie to watch especially during the pandemic all i want to watch is like things exploding and people driving cars fast is like all my brain can do right now so um i really enjoyed this movie i also do think i am a little bit braver than i once was because it's like nasty and kind of gnarly and gory and that didn't really bother me i i think it doesn't bother me so much in an action context because the tone of it isn't like, oh, this, you should feel like you want to die.

I think I'm very affected by tone. Yeah, I think so, too. I think so, too, because in an action movie, generally, there's a lot of violence and there's a lot of death, but it's like so brushed over that you don't really care. And like moving. And yeah, so it's like, moving and, yeah. So it's, I don't know. But you'll, I mean, I'm going to tell you about it.

So let's just get into it. The movie is Overlord. It came out in 2018. Okay, so new movie, newish movie. Relatively new. I know, in my brain, I'm like, 2018 was just yesterday. But three years ago. Three years ago.

Came out in 2018. Directed by Julius Avery. Story by Billy Ray. Written by Billy Ray and Mark L. Smith. Starring Jovan Adepo, Wyatt Russell, Matilde Olivier. I don't know if she's French. Probably said that wrong. Pilou Azbek.

Probably said that wrong, too. John Magaro, Ian de Kasteker, Dominic Applewhite, and Gianni Taufer. Okay, big cast. Big cast. It is rated R for strong bloody violence, disturbing images, language, and brief sexual content. I will say a slight trigger wording perhaps. There is a near sexual assault that doesn't really happen um but just want to want to let people know um so when i saw this rating i was like oh i'm not gonna want to watch this like strong bloody

violence and disturbing images are like no fucking way yeah once again i could handle it so i don't know listeners maybe you can too um and for its budget wait is it time for trivia i every time i take over this role i'm like i don't know how this podcast goes. Yeah. You're like, what are the steps? I never know. Now it's the time for trivia. Now it's the time for trivia.

Let's do that. Goddamn trivia. Let's do this trivia. Okay. This isn't really trivia, but it has an 81% on Rotten Tomatoes, 6.6 on IMDb and a 60 on Metacritic. So I don't know what all those mean. I really liked it.

Okay, great. The budget was $38 million. The box office was $41.7 million. So not great. But they did. They just made it. They just made a little bit of a profit. They just broke

breaking even. Yeah, I feel like I Yes. Made a little bit of a profit. Just broke Breaking Even. Yeah, I feel like I didn't hear anything about this movie when it came out. It seems perhaps they did not really promote it. Maybe that's why they didn't make much returns on their budget. Because it's like, and you know, I will say no one in this movie is like a star. So that also could have affected it. Wyatt Russell is Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn's son. Excuse me.

Oh, wow. He's very good in this. Is he as compelling as Kurt Russell? I don't think so. Is he probably so tired of being compared? That would suck, I think. Also, he would probably rule to have them be your parents, because I think they're really cool. They seem really cool.

They seem so cool. They live in Los Alamos and, like, just fucking chill out. And they're so beautiful. And they have, like, just, I just think they're great. Why Russell? Also, very good. Very good in this movie. It's just like, you know, it's Kurt Russell.

It's so hard to compare compare to be compared to Kurt Russell. That's impossible. Yeah, no. So sorry, Wyatt, but I bet you're fine. All righty, scaredy cats. It's our favorite time of the week cocktail hour. This week we will be sipping on some French 75s while we are fighting off Nazi troops. In order to

make this cocktail you will need one ounce of gin, half an ounce lemon juice freshly squeezed, half an ounce simple syrup, and three ounces of champagne or another sparkling wine. Garnish with a lemon twist. To make it you just add the gin, lemon juice, and simple syrup to a shaker with ice and shake until well chilled. Strain into a champagne flute. Top with the champagne and garnish with a lemon twist. Cheers! Um, I don't have a ton of trivia for this movie.

That's okay. But I have a little bit. Okay. But I have a little bit. And one of those is that this movie featured more practical effects than CGI, which is pretty cool. And I think is very cool in an action movie because that shit is like, how do they do that? They're blowing stuff up. It's crazy. Yeah, I've said it before. I'll say it again.

I'll keep saying it. I always prefer the practical effects. The practical effects are so cool. And also, I think probably as an actor scary in a movie like this. I mean great because you can really react to things but like scary.

For example, their first sequence of the movie which sees soldiers a World War II-ish movie by the way sees soldiers jumping from a burning plane was done by rigging a plane on a gimbal actually blowing up the front tilting it as if it were falling through the air and sending stuntmen tumbling through real fire what that sequence is nuts

and i cannot imagine how like the fact that that was mostly practical is truly insane. Also, I'm not joking where I know nothing about this movie, but the fact that it's, like, a World War II horror action movie is very intriguing to me. I'm hooked. It's cool. So it is, yeah, it is a World War II movie, but the movie does not include any use of the swastika. So it might normally be found

the Wendahorn rune is used. Do they call them Nazis in the movie? They're definitely not. I think they call them the Germans. And it's World War II. I actually don't know if they ever say Nazi.

No, somebody does at one point because he says it Nazi which is how they say it in Inglourious Bastards And it's World War II. I actually don't know if they ever say... Nazi. Nazi. No, somebody does at one point because he says it Nazi, which is how they say it in Inglourious Basterds, which I don't know. Just like... But not much. They mainly call them the Germans. But it is definitely, definitely World War II. Definitely German soldiers. Takes place in France.

Okay. Got it. Which also, it's just like, I mean, America's essentially been at war for our entire lives, but never here, never at our doorstep. And just the idea of war being literally at your doorstep, which is a reality that so many nations have dealt with, currently dealing with. a reality that so many nations have dealt with, currently dealing with. It's just, I don't think we as Americans can ever fully comprehend what war is. No, no, no, no. We're so sheltered. We're so deeply sheltered because we haven't experienced that.

I think when you're living in a war zone, you're managing fear in a way that we just don't understand at all. No. And then seeing death and destruction in a way that it's just, I mean, poof. I mean, as is always the case in the movies we discuss, the real life horror is the worst part. The realities of being a soldier, the realities of having war, having your country be occupied, just truly very, very bad. Very, very bad and horrifying.

And let's avoid it. Let's not do that. Let's not do that. Let's try to not do that. Let's not do that. Let's try to not do that. Let's try to not do that. I think that's probably all of the trivia that was good that was perfect perfect

amount of trivia should we watch the trailer you know what henley let's watch this trailer let's watch the trailer three months ago i was cutting grass in my front yard a mailman shows up with a letter from the army. Now I'm here. I have no idea where I'm gonna end up. Look out! Here we go! Welcome to France. What happened here?

Some questions don't have good answers. There's a lot of soldiers out there, and there's only four of us. Find out what's inside that compound. What is this? A thousand-year army meets thousand-year soldiers. We have to do this! What did you do it again I'll make you do it again My chances are I'll make you do it again

No What's not in that wall? What do you do with those people? What do you do with those people they have been given a purpose oh gnarly okay just that first image of him like being in the plane. I was like, this is scary. Oh, it's the worst part. That that's the opening sequence. And it is it's the scariest part of the whole movie.

It's like war is so fucking scary. I can't imagine. I like I can't believe people do that. Like, I truly just can't believe that that is real. No, I can't either. It's so, so, so scary to me. It's so scary to me, especially for like all the, all the men who were like 17 years old or whatever and had no context for what they were getting into. And then all of a sudden are put in like the most extreme

situations and then told to like never talk about it again yeah yeah like i mean i think it's all i think going to war is insane no matter who you are or where or what age or whatever but also the fact that they in this war and in many they were drafted and so they didn't even have a choice and they're like boys they're boys yeah who are dark brought across the world and put into a plane and are like jump out of it yeah and here's a gun good luck here's a huge gun it's so scary it's so scary um And on that note, I guess let's just get into it. Yeah, I can't wait to hear about it. It looks really scary.

I can't believe you weren't scared of this, Emily. Who are you? I'm really fucking brave. I know. I don't even know what to tell you. You are, though. I don't understand. I, you know, I don't, I mean, there were moments.

It's definitely, like, freaky. But it is, I feel like this is, it's good to watch this trailer because it captures the tone, which is, like, kind of fucking fun. Like, it, like. Yeah. It does have a fun action vibe to it. It's an action movie. It's an action horror. It's an action horror. The images are horrifying.

The tone of the movie is action. Yeah. That changes the game completely because it's like when you watch Mission Impossible or Born Identity or whatever, and you're watching Tom Cruise or Matt Damon, and they're doing things with their body where you're like, that's horrifying, but it doesn't seem to bother you. Doesn't seem to bother you. You seem to be fine. And so I'm fine because of that. And so I'm fine.

You seem fine, so I guess I'm fine. You're right. And I will say in this one- People are not fine in this movie. People are not fine in this one. And the worst parts are when they are feeling the least fine. So let's just get into it. Let's get into it.

Yeah, let's start it up. 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.

forget that's hellobello.com slash too scary so starts off we're hearing like what sounds like radio chatter describing world war ii so we're getting context that um it's world war ii we uh are in an aircraft with a bunch of american soldiers one of the soldiers is scratching the date on the wall of the plane, and we see that it is D-Day. We see our main character. His name is Boyce. Saw him in the trailer. He looks way fucking scared. Some of these soldiers are scared. Some are excited.

There's just a group of young boys that's clearly been at this for a little while, sort of chattering to each other about what they're about to do. But Boyce is, like, not participating. His knee is shaking. He's sweating. He looks very, very nervous. Another soldier named Tibbet is bragging about how he's going to, like, jump in there and kill the Nazis and is, like, such he doesn't fucking care. in there and kill the Nazis and is like such he doesn't fucking care. He's making

fun of Boyce being like Boyce is so nervous like pulls out his necklace and is like oh you got a lucky charm like you're never going to be a soldier. A lucky charm is not going to help you like me. I got no problems. That kind of vibe of guy. I think I did a very good impression. What an asshole. You did a very good

impression. Thank you. It's alarming. It's alarming how good that was yeah you don't even have to see the movie you just know that i nailed that um rosenfeld is another one of these soldiers he's sitting next to boyce um he's clearly uh they're friends he's also nervous just like what's gonna happen when you jump down there um we meet another soldier named chase chase is taking pictures of a soldier in the corner who's not really participating in the the banter with everyone we learn that he is sort of new he's not a member of this what do you call a regimen i don't know i don't know this group um but he is on this mission with them. He is an explosive expert. His name is Ford.

This is Wyatt Russell. Chase is trying to take pictures of him. He's like a photographer, I guess, back home. And Ford is not really having it. Tells him to go sit down. The sergeant comes out and explains the mission, is um they they're going to this french town they that is occupied by the germans they need to um destroy they put up like a radio blocking tower um to block the signal so that basically they need to destroy this tower so that the what did we call the good side in World War Two?

Allies. The allies. The allies. Thank you. So the mission is they this tower. Again, I'm seeming really smart when I describe this is blocking the signals the allies can't communicate. And they need to be able to communicate to figure out where to go on the beaches for D-Day, as we all know it to have happened. Got it. Copy that.

As we all know all the details of, and I don't need to explain. So their mission is to go to this town and destroy this tower. That's why we have Ford with us. He's an explosives expert. He's going to help us blow this tower up. Yay, we saved the day. Everything's great. As he's explaining this, they start getting shot at. The back of the plane explodes,

flies off. It's on fire. It is so chaotic. The sergeant is like, wait, we're not at the drop point. Yeah, we gotta wait for the drop point. People are being pulled and sucked out the back opening of the plane through the fire. A soldier is vomiting because he's so scared. They all look just fucking out of their minds

terrified, dying. It is such chaos. So fucking scary. Eventually it gets to Boyce's turn he pushed out of the plane drops he is fucking free falling trying to get his parachute trying to get his fucking chute to open gets it plummets into the water below um and swims to shore. He gets on the shore and it's dark. It's nighttime. He's sort of like crawling around trying to figure out where to go. What happened to everybody else is obviously this did not go as planned.

So they did not all drop in the same location. He as he's walking, he gets pulled down to the ground by Ford hiding behind a bush Because they can see up in a clearing Ahead their sergeant Surrounded by German soldiers all pointing Their guns at him The sergeant Isn't acting scared He's like oh I think he makes a

You know joke like oh why don't you have like a lighter You know trying to act tough Boyce tries To get up to go and and like help him ford pulls him down uh sergeant gets shot and killed obviously um and the germans walk away back through the woods um boyce is upset with ford for not letting him go and try to he's like you just let him die. And Ford says he was dead

the second we dropped down. So we're getting a sense that Ford has been at war for a while. He is kind of hardened to it and the realities of it. Not emotional about it. Boyce, total opposite. He is

young. He does not want to be here he's very idealistic about everything um in terms of like you know we got to save save the sergeant was like there's no fucking way you were you would have died also um and ford is wyatt russell right ford is wyatt russell okay and in the uh when the sergeant was saying the plan, he was like, Ford, you listen to orders from Ford as if he were me. Like he's in charge of this mission. So now that the sergeant is dead, Ford is our head of command, essentially. Got it. They walk along through the woods and find some more soldiers who have survived.

They find Chase, another soldier named Dawson, who played Grey Worm in Game of Thrones. And, you know, totally different character. Tibbet, who is the rude guy. So they meet up with the three of them, and they're like, okay, this is our group now, and they

start walking towards the village. As they're walking, Dawson is talking about how he's writing a book um of like what's happened to them in war and they're like sort of sort of relaxed they're they're happy to be together again and as they are walking a landmine explodes and dawson is fucking vaporized. Like, mid-sentence, just blown up. Oh, my God. It is, again, war is the scariest real thing. Yeah.

And so then they have to, you know, follow in each. Dawson was, like, in the middle of the pack. So there's this very tense moment of them having to try to follow in the exact footsteps of the person who's in the front to try to not step on any more landmines and like just once again being reminded of the very terrifying reality of their situation and Boyce is very

shaken by this and he says like he was just here and now he's not like the idea he is not at all used to death even after being at war so he's already like not handling this very well

as they walked through the woods they see on the ground a very confusing nasty mutilated animal carcass that they hear like is it a dog is it they like don't know what it is you know how in horror movies you see like a weird thing and you're and they go like that's weird and

you go no no no that's important that's a sign it's one of those um as they are examining it, they see a young, not young, like a, I don't know, 20-ish young woman who has been like sort of pillaging that. She's got a sack. She's maybe, you know,

trying to get food supplies, whatever. And, you know, they're Nazi-occupied France. They're hard to come by. So they see her. She sees them see her

and she starts running. So Ford's like, you catch her. We have to. She can't let anybody know that we're here. They managed to catch her. Boyce speaks very good French. So he starts speaking to her and is like, it's OK. It's OK.

Just please. Do you live in that village? Can you take us to it? That's where we're trying to go. We're not going to hurt you. Please just take us to the village. And she does. Her name is Chloe. chloe but she's very french chloe um she takes them to the village and um they stash themselves up in her attic um we learn that she lives with her younger brother paul who i think is actually eight

um oh wow for once i believe that he is a really old and her aunt who is very very sick okay um and we hear like some really really gross coughing happening like deep like call like in the depths of the middle of your body that cough comes from um and so the soldiers go up to the window or go up to the attic and it's an attic that has like a little wind a tiny window at the top so they can look out and see um the street below they see um they hear like some commotion out there they look they see german soldiers drag two people out of their house it's a man and a woman um they immediately shoot the woman dead and drag the man and like put him on a truck and drive him away they ask um chloe like what are they doing and she she's like, whatever they want. But they always do what they did to my parents, what they did to my aunt.

This is what they do. Tibbett and Chase are then like, we can't complete this mission. There are four of us. And the whole town is occupied by German soldiers. There's probably 40 of them. We just got to call it. This is a suicide mission. there's probably 40 of them we just got to call it like this is a suicide mission uh and boyce says we have to complete the mission that that we have a job to do that's what we're here to do

boys get over yourself sorry and that's essentially what timid says tip is like oh now you're a fucking soldier like all now you decide that you're a soldier. And then says he starts telling the story, making fun of boys about back when they were at boot camp. Boot camp. There you go. Base, base, base. That's where he is. Okay. They were at base.

He was like, this guy can't even kill a fucking mouse. At base, there was this mouse that was shitting on everything. And the sergeant said, you've got to kill that mouse. And what does this guy do? He's telling the story to Ford and Chase and Chloe. He's like, you know what this guy does? He catches in his shoe and he takes it outside and releases it. The next day, the mouse comes back and shits all over Sergeant's pillow.

And he makes this run, laps up the hill because of it. Because this guy can't fucking kill a mouse. And. Another spot on impression, by the way. Honestly, that one was even better. That's fucking good in my book. Ford is like, shut up. I i'm in charge we have to do the mission tibbet chase go to the rally point see if anybody else made it um made it like survived the

the drop um so there's a rally point in the town um that the soldier's supposed to go to so he's like go check out that point um the little brother is really cute and he comes in with a baseball mitt glove um i don't know what words are and a baseball and is like trying to get tibbett to play bait he's like pantomiming like throwing a baseball and it's like what the fuck does this kid want like what do you want and uh chloe's like he wants to play baseball he thinks that all americans play baseball it's really cute um and tippet's like if he wants to play pool i'll play pool with him but like i don't play baseball not not this american um and so ford sends boys downstairs he's like, go downstairs, keep watch.

As Boyce is going downstairs, he passes by the slightly ajar door to the aunt's room. From within, he can hear some truly horrifying cough sounds. He gets curious. He sort of wanders down the hall, sort of peeks his little head, and you sort of see a little glimpse where she looks not good. And then she pops up in front of

the door frame, face in frame, and she is... She looks undead. I mean, she is like... Oh my god. Doesn't look like a sick human. She looks like a... Like a zombie. Like a zombie. She looks like a zombie. Okay. Just as that happens, she's not like coming at him. She looks like a zombie.

Just as that happens, she's not coming at him. She just moves in front of the door and he freaks out. It's a jump scare. Just then, Chloe is behind him and says she's been like that ever since she got back from the church.

The church seems to be the Nazi compound that they've taken over in the city. that ever since she got back from the church uh the church sort of seems to be the the nazi sort of like compound that they've taken over in the city it's where they have that tower that they're going to destroy um okay and i think chloe somehow was able to to rescue her aunt or get her back um from the church but she's been like that ever since. Then downstairs, Boyce and Chloe, they sort of start bonding. They clearly, he's been sort of the translator for her. He's much softer than the other soldiers. So they start talking.

She speaks pretty good English. She went to school in London. And she comments that his French is interesting. And he's like, oh, yeah, I learned it from my grandmother. She's from Haiti. So they're having sort of a nice little connection point. Clearly, they're both sort of craving just regular human conversation. And the little brother, Paul, sits down at the table across from him

and just starts rolling the baseball to him back and forth. And it's very sweet. Just then there's a knock at the door and it is the german soldiers oh god so uh boyce goes back up to the attic he and ford we see a shot of them just like standing at the entrance of the attic with their guns out just like ready for whatever's about to fucking happen um soldiers come in led by i literally don't know his character's name because all I can think of is he is also in Game of Thrones he played did you watch Game of Thrones only the first few seasons

alright then this will mean nothing to you but for everybody else who did watch Game of Thrones he plays Euron Greyjoy who is just a huge asshole this actor is great at playing assholes that you just fucking hate just like slimy and like smug and just like god he's uh this actor is pilu aspect probably

saying that wrong um he's very good but he you just hate him um so he is sort of the clearly the head i don't know highest ranking of the German soldiers. He comes in with a few others. And it becomes clear that he has some sort of arrangement with Chloe that keeps her safe because he is allowed to come have sex with her whenever he wants. It's really a very awful moment to realize this situation. Because she says something like, please not tonight. Or he comes in and he's like, oh, you didn't make me dinner tonight?

And she's like, I was busy with my aunt. And he's like, oh. He does that thing very well where he's like being friendly, but you feel the threat of his presence so so much oh i hate that oh it is truly awful um and and he like you know goes to to touch her shoulder or something and she's like please i'm i'm tired and he reminds her like do i have to remind you about our arrangement oh really gross really awful um as this is happening we hear um uh the baseball that the brother was holding he he asked like where's paul and she says he's sleeping just then we the baseball gets paul upstairs in the attic with the soldiers accidentally knocks um a box or something

the baseball falls and makes a really loud sound up in the attic oh fuck and so i'm just gonna call him you're on because that's his name in gamer thrones and i don't know his name in this movie so great uh you're on um sends his soldiers up to go check what that was um and they're walking up the stairs they're walking up to the attic they're looking they're. It's very tense. We see Boyce and Ford poised right there with their guns out. They walk up to the bottom of the stairs looking up towards the attic. Paul, the little boy, walks out holding the baseball and then drops it down the stairs to them.

The soldier picks it up, spitsits on it and throws it back to him just because he's a fucking asshole but then they like laugh turn around go back downstairs and they say to Euron it's just the boy and he's like okay great you guys can go and Euron stays and

you know goes to start trying to have sex with Chloe and turns around and has a gun pointed to his head. Boyz and Ford have come downstairs. And so, like, Euron sort of steps back uh, laughing, I think because he is the worst. Um, and like, uh, sort of like, oh, Chloe, you've really like ruined this for yourself. Like, what the fuck do you think you're doing? And Ford knocks him out with the barrel of his gun. Oh no, I'm sorry.

Not with the barrel of his gun, with his fucking forehead. Uh, I made a point to write that down because it was crazy uh like why would you use your own forehead and it's just like that's who ford is man he doesn't give a fuck but why would you choose to hurt your own head i guess because he really he has a lot of faith in the strength of his forehead and he's right. It works. I wouldn't do it, but it works. Knocks him out. And now Ford is pissed at Boyce. And he's like, you just jeopardized the whole fucking mission. I'm sorry. I curse a lot.

And I'm sorry. Wait, so, yeah, how dare you? I just say I'm sorry. Wait, so Boyce was the one who was going to shoot him and Ford kind of stopped it from happening? It seems what I forgot to mention too is that as it's becoming clear,

so they are listening to everything from the attic and they can peer through little slats in the attic so they know that this is what's happening. That he's about to rape her essentially. And Boyce has become friends with Matilda, or Chloe, and also is, you know, the more sensitive, not even more sensitive,

just less hardened to these realities, more affected by it. And so he makes a move to be like, we have to go down there, and Ford is like, no, hold off. And so it becomes clear that boyce is the reason why they do end up going down and stopping got it and and that he and boy says that boyce is like we couldn't just let uh let him do that and this is interesting as i was watching i was sort of like if i'm ch Chloe I'm honestly probably pretty upset too yeah because

this is an arrangement that keeps my family safe and also no way is this the first time this has happened do you know what I mean like you know obviously more things are going to happen in this movie that are going to lead us down a different path but if they didn't you just ruined my safety and like I've let myself be raped however many times for this i don't know it's it's like right it's obviously very complicated and fucked up you don't get to decide this this isn't your choice this is my choice that i'm making yeah and i don't even know you and like what are you gonna do save save my family now like what now like just because you couldn't stand to watch me get raped which i obviously is terrible but i'm making this choice for a reason yeah and like it's happened before you just stopped one rate from happening and now what

like i yeah you know i don't know that was my thought um but things are gonna to unfold in, in a different way. So that's fine. Um, and, and we don't deal with, with sexual assault again for the rest of this movie. So that's just listeners. There you go.

Um, so I mean, so, okay. So, so Ford says to boys, like go find, like this mission has been compromised.

We need to come up with a new plan. Go find Chase and Tibbet and bring them back here, and we're going to circle up. New plan. Now that we have this hostage. So Boyce starts, you know, it's nighttime. It's a small town, and there's a lot of woods around. So Boyce is sort of sneaking through the town to try to get to the rally point.

Makes, walks past the church and is able to sort of hide and look down at the yard of the church, the like gated entryway, because he sees the Germans are outside and there's a guy who's sort of, he's like wearing a white lab coat, sort of looks like a doctor. He definitely doesn't look like a soldier. He's got glasses and he's a little bit older and he's got a doctor's coat. So we're going to call him the doctor. And some soldiers and soldiers drag

somebody out who's like clearly very ill. Drag him out, stand him against a gate and a couple more soldiers come out and flame throw this man just light him up and boyce is also like what the fuck uh very freaked out by that so he sort of goes back through the woods and is like oh shaken by that and is trying to find his way back to the rally point. And a German shepherd dog sees him. Oh, no. And it's an angry dog.

It's not a nice dog. And it starts chasing him. So Boyce is running. And the only place he can find to hide to get away from the dog, he jumps into the back of a truck, a German truck. Oh, God. To hide in the back of it. And wouldn't you know, that truck is just filled with dead bodies.

Yeah, of course it is. Of course it is. And the truck starts to move. So he hides in the back of this truck as it is driven into the church. Oh, and now he's in. Now he's in. Now he's in. Now he's in. Now he's in. And it's really awful.

It's like one of those war army trucks that's got flaps over it, like canvas. So it's tented, essentially. So he plays dead, which is the right thing to do. But he puts a dead body sort of over him. Oh, God. It's just's just like oh it's awful um and the germans they park the car inside the the church gate it up open the back and start pulling bodies out and as they're doing that he is able to get out of the back and sort of sneak around um and make his way into the church. And sort of starts exploring, trying to find a way out, figure out, get his bearings and

see what this place is. Also, mind you, the voice is black. And I was immediately thinking, too, I feel like in a lot of movies like this or action movies, there are sequences where like, oh, you end up inside enemy territory. And so what do you do you find a way to to get the enemy's uh outfit on right yeah put their uniform on just disguise yourself a uniform that's the word i said outfit um also an outfit what is a uniform if not an outfit? But, and it's, it's never a dress. I never really,

they never talk about it, but my first thought is there is no way for him to disguise himself. He is a black man in a Nazi facility. Like, and, and I think that's so effective in adding to the element of like, he has nowhere to hide and no way to hide. He is so in danger if he is seen um so he starts

sort of skulking down the passageways trying to figure out where he is down one hallway he's he hears this terrible wailing like oh like someone dying wailing mixed with these like guttural like grunts and monster-y noises and so he starts walking towards the sound as you do and sees it seems like they're like these cells that people are in but there's just a small the smallest little peephole that you can see through these cells. So he's walking up, walking up. He goes to look through the hole and hears Germans coming. So he goes and hides around a corner and peers out

and sees it's the doctor again and a soldier. And the soldier bangs on the door of that cell, which curls as a huge response from whatever's inside of it, screaming. Like, sounds like it's, like, coming up against the cell. It cell, which curls is a huge response from whatever's inside of it. Screaming, like sounds like it's like coming up against the cell,

like really violent and agitated. And the doctor goes like, okay. And like marks on his little clipboard and they walk away. Boyce walks back up to look in. Person, something, some creature pops up from behind the people and it scares him.

It's a jump scare. We don't really see what it is. Boyce continues on searching through the church. He finds the radio control room, which is the room they need to blow up. So that's good.

He finds a, what looks to be like a big medical lab. Henley, you would hate it too a big medical lab. Henley, you would hate it too. It's dirty. This place, this whole place is dirty.

And like all of it seems kind of wet. It's just, it's not nice. It's not a nice medical lab, but it's because it's also, it's like the basement it looks like. So it's just this old stone basement that they converted into this lab um there are a lot of fluids fluids everywhere fluids and containers fluids and tubs fluids and bags it's fluidy um

fluidy yeah no especially someplace like a medical facility that is supposed to be clean. It is supposed to be. Yeah, you do not want there to be excess fluids floating around. You don't want to describe your medical facility as wet. No, I want to be parched the second I step foot in that room. Yeah, for sure. Yikes. So he sees two and you saw this in the trailer. There are these hanging sacks. Oh, yeah. The sacks.

Like garment bags that you get from the tailor. They like zip down one side. They are body sized. They are full. There's something in all of them and they are hanging from the ceiling. And Boyce is like coming up to one you can see

they're sort of translucent ish like like parchment paper you can see through it but not really you know like a cocoon hand like move down the wall of one of it and he i mean you gotta love his curiosity he starts to unzip the back what the fuck um as he

does fluid falls out of it it's dripping and then a head pops out and it's wearing a gas mask type thing. It looks like maybe it's a soldier or was a soldier. And he takes the mask off and he says in French, help me, please. Help me, please. But he looks fucked up. He looks zombie-ish. so Boyce freaks out and backs away and goes down another room, uh, where he finds a bunch of big,

big, big, big, I mean, we're talking 1940s, big syringes, all filled with this like, like,

um, reddish, orangish, goopy looking fluid. Oh no. Really fun. Um, and he's examining them he hears people coming

um so he just grabs it and puts it in his pocket uh as he's going down a different hallway to try to get out of this lab he hears a woman in french saying what i think is help help me please something like that um i i just kept hearing si vous pla vous plaît s'il vous plaît um and he goes he starts walking towards it to see what it is pulls back a curtain and sees this is one of the more horrifying images of the movie i would say um a woman saying help me please uh she's like uh her head she's alive, speaking, but below her collarbone is no body, just a spine. What the fuck? So it is a severed head on a spine speaking, saying, help me. What?

No. It's not okay. I hate that. I thought it's not okay. It's not okay. And you know what's interesting is here's a moment where I was trying to – I watched this with Joel and I was trying to talk to him about like, why is it that I can handle this?

Like, what is it? And here's what I think it is. A, it's an action movie, so my tolerance is up. But I think I can see that once it has happened, I cannot see it happening. Do you know what I mean? I can look at, and I don't like to look at it, but I can look at the head on a spine. I cannot look at the body being cut off the head.

Do you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, like you're fine with seeing the results. Yeah, I just do not want to see the process i'm again not fine i don't like it but it's easier for me that way than seeing the process yeah yeah yeah yeah that makes sense i just really i really don't like anyone in distress in any way no that is that is definitely the worst part it she's very much in distress and you i mean you gotta like someone needs to kill her like someone yeah she just like mercy killer she needs to be dead like there's no yeah there's no comeback from that yeah one would have to imagine she was there for the

process that that can't have been good no no no um so he is really freaked out. Boyce is fucking, at this point, his panic level is 90. Through the roof. Through the roof. And that's out of 10. 90 out of 10. You really can't blame him. You can't blame him. And you absolutely can't blame him.

The night he's had has not been good. As he tries to escape from that horrifying sight, he sees his friend Jacob jacob who was rosenfeld does his friend soldier that he uh was talking with in the plane who was very nervous on like a stretcher uh hooked in with like a big looks like a vacuum tube to his chest. But he's alive and speaking and has the rest of his body. And he says to, he's like, says like, Boyce, Boyce. So Boyce comes to him. And this is where Boyce's idealism, we absolutely love to see it.

Because I think many people would have just left Rosenfeld there. Boyce is like, this is my friend. I'm getting him out. So he, and this part, I wish Sammy had been here for this because I didn't. People would have just left Rosenfeld there. Boyce is like, this is my friend. I'm getting him out. So he, and this part, I wish Sammy had been here for this because I didn't look at it. See, again, I can't see the process. But Boyce has to tear the vacuum suction cup thing off of his body. And I think it was just like stitched on. So it's not, it hurts him. he's bloodied from it but it's i

thought it was like gonna like pull out some organs um it it doesn't just you know okay skin and blood and stuff um but it sounds bad i heard it didn't look at it but he gets he gets jacob detached from the thing and is sort of carrying him as they sort of try to get back through to find a way to escape. They see, Boyce sees like a sewer grate, a metal grate on the bottom of one of the walls. And he, you know, in the nick of time, we hear Germans coming, but he kicks it open. They, you would, I said, I literally said this, Henley would hate this because they have to crawl through this little grate hole. And Rosenfeld has an open wound. I mean, it is getting so dirty.

No, he's going to die from the open wound infection. I think. But they make it through this grate or through this hole. But they make it through this great or through this hole. They put the great back up and they start walking through these sewers to get out. Meanwhile, back at Chloe's, we see that Paul, the little boy, is like very taken with Tibbet. And he's like mimicking everything he does. And like Tibbet sits down and crosses his arms and Paul comes and like crosses his arms.

And it's just like a very cute little moment of this kid being excited to be around these, these men. Um, they are up in the attic. This is, uh, Tibbet,

Chase and Ford are all up there. And, and Tibbet and Chase are both like, I don't think Boyce is making it back. Like he would have been back by now. But just then, we hear from below, Boyce made it back with Rosenfeld. He puts Rosenfeld on the table. Also, we learned earlier, we were learning why Chloe speaks such good English.

She went to school in London to be a veterinarian, so she does have medical expertise, which is great. So he puts her on the table. She starts tending to him. They all run downstairs. Boyce is telling them what he saw. He's like, he's so flustered, so frustrated. He's like, I was in the church.

I was in the church. A woman, she's talking, but she didn't have a body. He's just so freaked out and is trying to convey to them what he saw. And they're just like, how do you get? What the fuck is going on um and boyce shows them the syringe he's like i took this so they go upstairs where they have euron the german soldier that's again not his character name but that's what i'm gonna call him uh as their hostage and so ford shows it to him and he says, like, what's this?

Ford pretends not to know. He says, oh, I don't know what the doctor does, what the doctor wants to do. I don't know. That's not a good. It was. So Ford starts beating the shit out of him. And you're on then finally says the people in the church have been given a bigger purpose um people like her her aunt the bodies of the blood of her parents are being uh served for

something greater just taunting Chloe and so as he's saying this Chloe stabs him in the leg and starts screaming. So Boyce carries her out. And then Ford takes the knife and twists it in his fucking thigh. Oh, no. Boyce just holds Chloe back. And so then Ford just starts

literally beating him to death. It looks like he just starts punching him and punching him and punching him and punching him. And he puts on this knuckle knife thing. It's like rings, you know, knuckle thing. But then there's a knife attached to the end of it. So you could like punch and stab. It's scary looking. And he just starts beating

the shit out of him boyce tries to stop ford he's like what we don't like what is this accomplishing and ford is essentially like oh i'm like he's not going to tell us shit like you have to play dirty like they do or some of the effect of like i'll be be as bad as they are. I don't really fucking care. Clearly Ford like has lost a part of himself in this war. And, you know, this is where we're seeing that in war, no one's really good. And, you know, that's just sort of what it is. So downstairs, Boyce goes down with Chloe. They bond a little bit more Chloe tells him

you know I don't recognize myself anymore and Boyce is like me neither you know I three this is where we heard the trailer three months ago I was cutting grass in Louisiana and now I am a soldier just because someone showed up at my doorstep telling me I had to come here and um Ford comes

back down and he's like okay new plan all the soldiers are now downstairs in Chloe's kitchen and he says we're gonna we're gonna have to rig up the outside of the tower with explosives to just blow it down from the outside

we're gonna use this German soldier sort of as bait, as a distraction, so that we can blow this tower up. I don't really know what the details of this plan are, but that's sort of the plan. So Ford says to Chase, hey, go up and get Euron and bring him downstairs. So Chase goes up. And they had, like, tied him up wrists on like a beam so he's sort of

hanging by his wrists and he's hanging he's got a sack over his head he's hanging really limply I mean he just we saw some of what had happened and if more of it happened like he's not in good shape um so Chase like sort of pokes him with his foot and is like guy

buddy um and he doesn't react he's just hanging limply. So he cuts him down and turns around to grab some of his stuff. And would you believe it? He was faking it. He was not unconscious. And he has a sack over his head. You can't see anything.

But he tackles Chase. They get sort of a brawl. And Euron manages to take Chase's gun off of him and just starts shooting wildly across the whole, because he can't see. He just starts shooting at anything. But he does get chased twice in the chest. But in all the chaos and the sound, the rest of them come upstairs. They do manage to tackle Euron and get the gun from him again. But Chase is, I mean, it's not looking good.

Oh, no. Well, why did they send only one of them up there? That's what I said. Why would you send him up alone? Why would you send him up? I mean, and here's the thing is, I do think this is sort of a ragtag team that's been left. Right. Like these aren't experts. Yeah, professionals.

Yeah, I think that's kind of cool that they make that clear, right? That they're just like, and also they keep saying that, like, they had earlier, like, an hour until the Allies touched down on the beach. Like, their time is running out. They're on a very, very tight clock to get this tower blown up. Otherwise, the whole thing is done. So they're sort of just very very tight clock to get this tower blown up otherwise the whole thing is is done so they're sort of just like we got to get this thing go yeah we got to go yeah um but they all they all come upstairs they all surround chase as he's lying on his back

bleeding and and he's you know so young they all look so young and and he's like oh you know clearly his body's in shock and he's like oh is is bad as, clearly his body's in shock. And he's like, oh, is it bad? Is it bad? Like, what's good? But like, we can all see that. Yeah, he's definitely about to die. And he holds on to Ed's hand or Ed is Boyce's name. We've learned that, too.

And he's like, don't let me die. Don't let me die. And he's like, no, I'm not going to let you die. And then, of course, he dies. He dies. Oh, it's so sad. And so now they're, I mean, they're even more fucked. They just watched him die, which is terrible.

They're now down a man. They've got three of them. And so Ford is like, we've got to get going. He's dead. There's nothing we can do. Gather the explosives. We've got to get going. He's dead. There's nothing we can do. Gather the explosives. We've got to get going. At which point, Boyce remembers that he has this syringe.

He pulls it out of his pocket. He walks over to Chase, stabs him with it, and pushes the fluid into Chase. Whoa, whoa. Now we get to see what the fluid does, and it's not going to do good things. I don't think it's going to do good things. And nothing happens. And so Boyce, dejected, like, you know,

turns around, goes to get the explosives, and then we hear Chase six god straight up fully alive and and like is acting like sort of cartoonish like he's just like oh and like sort of like doesn't have control of his limbs but it's it's chase and all of them are like what the fuck because he was fully dead um and ford's like how do you feel chase and he's like i feel great um i'm i'm thirsty so they hand him a flask of water they're all like stunned but they are going with it and they hand him a flask of water and he chugs it down and then as he's holding it he like crushes it and it's metal it's a world war ii flask he like crushes it in his hand and looks at it it's like that's weird and then goes to stand up and like the he does great it's great physical work he just sort of like stands straight up right away like he was just shot in the chest but he just

like stands right up and is like sort of wobbling around and they're all like oh chase hold on calm down calm down like what's going on? And we see. Oh, meanwhile, Euron says, you asked what the serum does. A thousand year war needs thousand year soldiers. So then we look at Chase and we see all of a sudden his body starts changing. His veins are really, really super visible. And he's like, oh, I'm really hot. And he starts tearing his shirt off.

He's like, oh, I feel weird. And he's like, what did you do to me, Ed? What did you do to me, Ed? He starts freaking out. Then all of a sudden his spine like spine cracks his head gets thrown back back into place but now he's got weird like bones sticking up and he's like what did you do to me and grabs one of them and like throws them now he has super strength and it's just like all of a sudden it is just chaos and they're all oh my god picking

them up and like throwing them and he i think grabs a beam and breaks that i mean he's freaking out it's like what was happening to me but he also has super strength and like zombie energy oh my god and ford pulls out a gun and it's one of those guns that just goes like, and just, like, shoots the fuck out of him in his chest. And it doesn't kill him. And so then Boyce just goes for him, knocks him down, takes the barrel of his gun, and bashes his head in over and over and over. Oh, my God. Over and over and over and over and just destroys his

head there's no more head uh but but this seems to have done it he is dead oh my god this night couldn't get any worse it is not going well for them um no but in this chaos guess who we forgot to keep an eye on you're on he's gone you're on see him slip out and down the stairs where he runs into paul takes him runs out of the house chloe realizes this they all realize and there's she's screaming for her brother. They follow him out. They're all shooting at him. He manages to get in a car with Paul, the little boy, with him. As they're driving off, he does get shot in the face, pretty bad, but manages to drive off with Paul towards the church. And so Chloe is hysterical, freaking out, screaming.

They're all downstairs and outside now. And Ford is, or I think Boyce is like, we've got to go get him. And Ford's like, no, we stick to the mission. It's too important. Like, this is what we have to do um yeah and boys is like no he like he is this is our fault like he has him because of us like we have to go get him and so ford pulls rank and says, I am ordering you, soldier. There's this or something like that.

There's this moment of quiet. And Boyce just looks at him and goes, no. No, we have like, you know, we have to do this. You know, we have to go get him. Look, we can blow up the tower from the inside. We'll go into the church. We'll get we will get Paul. We will blow up the radio tower

and we'll blow up that lab because whatever the fuck they have going on down there, we have to destroy it. So let's just we have to go do this. And then we get from Tibbet this line where he goes, we can grab the kid as a bonus. Kill two birds.

Oh my God. Oh my God. Everyone's so casual casual but it's not because it's one of those i loved i think this happens especially in action movies you have this moment of like oh the guy that we thought was an asshole is like coming around you know he's like sort of he likes the kid so he's like yeah like i'm actually going to be the reasonable one here love to see it love to see it um so ford says if we do this our odds of getting out of here alive are next to zero but let's fucking go fine we're gonna do it um so meanwhile we see uh yuran makes it to the church holding his face bleeding barges into the lab. It's just like bumping into things.

I mean, I'm sure excruciating pain. Goes over to where all the syringes are and picks one up and stabs himself in the leg. And the doctor's like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Don't do that. Like, they're not, they're unstable. They're unstable. We haven't tested them on the living. Grabs a second syringe.

Jams it into his body. What? Grabs a third syringe. Jabs it into his body. What? So he wants what happens to Chase to happen to him. He does. And I think he also is, you know, he wants, he's in a lot of pain and wants to just like fucking take control.

He's not a reasonable man no no so he turned he so everyone's looking at him he just stabbed himself three times with this stuff he takes his hand out of his face he turns around we saw this in trailer turns around he has a hole missing from like the whole side of his face and he smiles oh Ew! I hate it! Okay, meanwhile, we see the Americans coming up with their plan. The plan is that Rosenfeld and Tibbett are going to fire at the church

from the outside. Boyce, Ford, and Chloe are going to go in and get Paul. We see Chloe walking down the street alone, gets the attention of one of the German soldiers, the one who spit on the baseball earlier. Gross. Gross guy. And he starts, he gets on his motorcycle and starts

following her. So she's running from him. He follows her up onto a bridge, knocks her down, thinks he's got her. He's so happy. She starts laughing, and boys in Florida there, they've got a gun to his head. He's so happy. She starts laughing and boys and four are there. They've got a gun to his head.

They pull him up. Cut to this same soldier driving his motorcycle in towards the church. And so they open the gates for him. They know him. He rides in and he's got tape over his mouth. And he's like

trying to communicate with him. He has tape over his mouth and he's tied tape over his mouth. And he's like, like trying to communicate with him. He has tape over his mouth and he's like tied down. He can't take that. He can't do anything. And they're like, what? What? What's up, guy? Like, what's going on?

What? What? Come on. What happened to you? And they pull the tape off his mouth so that he can talk to them. And with the tape came the pin to a grenade that was lodged in his mouth. Oh, fun. There we go.

And it explodes. They, you know, are blown back. A bunch of them die. Then Tibbett and Rosenfeld are shooting at them from the outside. Chaos. Chaos. The kind that we love to see. Which is, I mean, that move is so cool um and it's what ford is our uh explosives expert so he is a fucking great plan right i forgot that so

meanwhile back down in the sewers boys chloe and ford are sneaking back in the way that they left before um hearing the shooting from above, and they're like, okay, great, that part of the plan worked. They get in. Chloe immediately goes to find her brother. And while Ford and Boyce are like, we have to go to the control room, and she's like, I don't have time for that.

I've got to go find my brother, and goes off on her own. As she's walking down the hall, she crosses paths with two german soldiers holds a gun to them she has a gun and is like where's my brother uh they sort of laugh and one of them's like um and i don't have to tell you shit and she shoots him and kills him good move if you got two soldiers kill one of them and then says the other one, take me to my brother. Meanwhile, Ford and Boyce make it to the radio control room. Ford starts rigging up the explosives.

And he tells Boyce, like, go down to the lab. You rig up these explosives there. I'm going to set a timer here. So plan is working so far. Meanwhile, the German soldier has led Chloe to one of those cells that we saw before and it's like your brother's in here opens the door oh no oh no she starts walking in don't do that peering in we see she looks down on the ground and sees just the torso of somebody that's, you know, it's bloody. It's not good. Just a human torso on the ground. She's freaked out.

We see from, because we're looking at her head on and we see the German soldier behind her and we see him pull a gun to put a gun to her head. Of course. But in the nick of time, Boyce is there, knocks him out, knocks him to the ground, grabs Chloe and is like, your brother's not in there, your brother out, knocks him to the ground, grabs Chloe, and

is like, your brother's not in there, your brother's not in there. And then we look down and we see the German's body is laying on the ground in front of that open door, and it gets pulled in to that cell with the sounds of crunching.

Okay, so they like to eat human beans. they like to eat humans it seems it does seem um so they run we look inside the cell and we just see a very a very wet very like um uh wet like like a baby emerging from a womb type wet no not even that it's like not water do you know what I mean it's like viscous

it's viscous it's a viscous wet yeah okay sort of pull up into frame open its mouth and a bunch of blood pools out. It's very gross. Gross. So we know that whatever that thing that was in that that room is not good. Paul who has not yet been fucked with he's just laying on a stretcher Chloe grabs him and

Boyce is like I gotta stay here and rig this room up with explosives but you go like get Paul out and go and she doesn't want to leave him but he's like you like go I'll catch up I will catch up she tells him to be careful and she leaves with Paul they make it back to the grate

and get through. And so she puts Paul through. She climbs through. And as she's explaining to Paul, like, okay, we're going to go out this way. She gets grabbed. Oh, no. And Paul is screaming. And she's like, go, go, Paul, go.

So Paul runs. She gets pulled back through the grate. And it's by that nasty wet guy no that was in that room and he is a zombie he's definitely a zombie he's got um one of his arms uh doesn't have anything below like the mid forearm except just bones sticking out like the you know just bones sticking out like the you know it's like a prong of bones yeah it's just nothing's right nothing's put together nothing is right with him nothing but he's also clearly very strong like freakishly strong like chase was when he got zombified um just wetter um and so he and chloe sort of get in a fight she's able to get her gun out and shoot at

him which distracts him for a minute but as we know does not kill him um so she starts running as she runs away a thing that drives me crazy i mean i guess you're just going as fast as you can she doesn't shut a single door behind her she runs and leaves those doors open as she goes and i'm like i don't think this guy knows how to open a door. Let's shut them behind us. Shut the door. Let's shut these doors. Let's shut the doors. But she doesn't. But she's running. She's running. He's following her. He's following her. As

she runs out, she makes it out to like the outside, but he's still coming. Because again, door's wide open. She sees a flamethrower and torches him. Okay. Okay.

Great. Then she does another thing that drives me crazy. It ends up being fine. But then she takes the flamethrower off and leaves it there. I'm like, girl, take that with you. Keep it. Shut the doors and keep the flamethrower. Yeah. Keep it near you.

Keep the flamethrower near you. Ay-yi-yi. But meanwhile, in the control room, we see that Ford has set the explosives and he goes and puts the timer on. But just as he does, we see it's Super-Euron!

Oh my god. He's here. He's meaner and stronger than ever. He grabs the timer, crushes it in his hand, and is like, ooh, I hoped

I'd see you again, Corporal. And starts beating the shit out of him. the timer, crushes it in his hand, and is like, oh, I hoped I'd see you again, corporal, and starts beating the shit out of him. Yeah, of course he is. Okay. Down in the lab, Boyce is setting the explosives, but gets discovered by the doctor who holds him at gunpoint. But, you know, he's like a middle-aged doctor. So Boyce pretty easily, you know, like he gets up, but then he fights back. He gets the gun out of his hand.

They have a bit of a struggle, but Boyce manages to get a knife and stab the doctor. So the doctor dies. And at this point, I'm thinking, hey, you know, even if all else fails, it's good that we killed this doctor. Because what he's doing is the worst part of all this. And so, you know, I guess let's get rid of him um we see outside in the town tibbett and rosenfeld are shooting at german soldiers so their job in this mission they're both i think tibbett is like a sniper and rosenfeld uses one of those big guns. You know, he knows how to do that. Machine gun.

Machine gun, right? I think it's a Yeah, one of those guns. So their job is to just like move throughout the town and just shoot at Germans. Like they're trying to make the Germans think there's more than just two of them essentially and like sort of keep

them confused and occupied. So they're shooting at the Germans and they see Paul running out towards them because he got it at the church and Tibbett is like fuck I gotta go get this kid because he now really cares about him

runs out into like the middle of the gunfire, grabs Paul carries him, brings him back just as he's coming back behind their wall gets shot in the back um but safely gets paul over or gets you know gets paul into safety but he has been shot uh at this point we see chloe meets up with them as well. She has also made it out. Okay. But we cut back to back in the church. We see Euron

dragging Ford along the ground down into the lab. And Henley, you're not going to like this. No, I don't want to know. I don't want to know. He picks Ford up. No, no,'t want to know. I don't want to know. He picks Ford up. No, no, no.

And we see there's a big metal hook hanging from the ceiling, presumably to hold those sacks. And he hangs Ford on that hook, not from his back, which is what I thought, maybe because I was thinking about Texas Chainsaw, on his front, right through the middle of his ribcage. That's so fucked up. I fucking hate that so much. So, Gord is still alive, but is now hanging from the ceiling on a big metal hook through his chest. I fucking hate that more than anything.

No, thank you. It's really bad. It's bad. And then he starts beating, you know, Euron starts beating him up again because he hates him and he's a super zombie and he's bad. But then Boyce shows up and

shoots because Boyce is in the lab too, shoots Euron in the chest a bunch of times, and he just turns around and takes it. He doesn't care. He can't die. Shoot him in the head.

Shoot him in the head. He's mocking him. He does not care. And he, I think, just, like, picks Boyce up and just, like, throws him on the ground out of his way. He's very very strong now and then he starts monologuing as villains love to do talking about how germany

is going to have an invincible army and be the greatest power in the world and as he's doing so he's opening up all of these like morgue style drawers that have bodies in them so essentially he's like waking up these zombies um and and here's what i'm saying hey man we don't have time for monologues if you're really on a mission here all the while you're you know having your fun big glorified moment you're letting opportunity for you to get taken down, which is exactly what he's doing. We see, as he's monologuing away, Ford

finds a syringe. Oh, wait. Ford lifts himself off his hook, which is really bad. It's not fun. He uses his arms to pull. And what really sucks is he tries once and fails. As he falls back onto the hook. That's fucked up.

He pulls himself up, falls on the ground. But he finds a syringe and stabs himself with it. Then Euron, not seeing any of this happen, goes over to Boyce, grabs him, starts drowning him. He like holds his head down in this tub they have there, which is I think full of bodies. It's gross. You really don't want your face in it. You really don't want your face in it.

But that's what happens. He's drowning Boyce. And as he's doing that, we see he gets stabbed through the back with this huge metal rod, like huge metal rod goes straight through his chest. Oh, my God. Does not kill him, but it does distract him. He turns around, pulls it out of himself, faces Ford, realizes, I think, by looking at him and because he was strong enough to shove a metal pole through his chest, that

Ford is also a zombie now. And he says, how does it feel? The blood of eternity flowing through your veins. Oh my god. And Ford looks at him and goes, not so fucking great.

Which I wrote down because he really looks like Kurt Russell when he says that. And so that was fun. I was like, oh, yeah, yeah, I see it. They start fighting. Euron is besting him. He's three times the zombie that Ford is. But they're fighting. Ford is down on the ground.

Euron's staring at him. And Ford's sort of, oh, Ford is laying next to like a can of gas, like a gas canister. And he just pushes it so that it starts rolling towards Euron's feet. And it looks really pathetic. He has no strength left in him. And he just sort of rolls this thing over to him. So Euron starts laughing at him. And then Ford looks at him.

And he starts laughing too. Like, yeah, i guess it is pretty funny and then he just says boyce and boyce shoots at the gas canister and it explodes and you're on explodes oh wow okay so you're on dead now maybe you're on dead for real now so so Boyce goes to then runs to Ford and is like Ford come on they get up and then Ford pushes Boyce out of the way

just past like a gate to the lab shuts the gate locks it locks himself in and Boyce out and Boyce is like Ford Ford, Ford, let me in. Like, come on, come on, open the gate, open the gate, open the gate. And Ford's like, take the tower down.

I didn't have time to set the timer. Go set off those explosives. This is our last chance. I'm not making it out of here. And he says, this shit, our side shouldn't have it either. I've got to take this lab down I was never going to make it out of here so he's essentially going to kill himself to take down this lab

but at this point like yeah he's a zombie he doesn't really have much help and this is the moment where it's like Boyce don't you get it like come on man we're done but Boyce you know it's sad boys is sad every time someone he knows dies which honestly now that i'm saying it fair um so he's screaming at boys to open the you're screaming at ford to open the gate open the gate we see all these

zombies now that you're on awoke um are getting up and like what so now this lab is starting to be filled with zombies I mean there's no hope so Boyce finally gets it runs runs up to the tower Ford turns around holds up an explosive and a lighter and goes I don't what does he say I think I'm done with this something like that

lights it he explodes the whole lab explodes. So those zombies and the lab are destroyed. Boyce runs up to the control room, sets the timer, but it's like he has to just like set the explosives off. So he sets them and just starts running. And this is really cool. I don't know if they actually did it in one shot, but it looks like one shot.

And we sort of follow like Dolly as he runs through and out of the church as explosives are going off, like, from all sides around him. It's very cool. But he runs. He makes it out just as the whole tower comes down. They have done it. It is exploding. We then cut to Tibbet, Rosenfeld,feld chloe and paul tibbett is okay his wound was not um a fatal one so we see chloe is sort of tending to him they are listening to a radio broadcast that is describing d-day like it was successful it made it to the beaches um

the implication being that the work that they did here allowed the war to end, which is a fun little way to insert yourselves into history. We see people, it's now morning, it's daybreak. French people are leaving their homes and realizing the war is over, the war is over.

They see Boyce walking up to them, just covered in dust and rubble, but alive. And Paul, who's so, so French, I don't think he says a word of English in the whole movie, stands up and sees me and goes, yeah, Boyce! Which is very funny and very cute. He sits down with them and they ask, they say, Ford. He shanks his head and they all just sort of sit there acknowledging what they've all done. Cut to, it's clearly a couple hours, days later, Boyce is all cleaned up.

He is being questioned by an American general just saying, you know, tell me what the mission was and why you did it this way. And, you know, why didn't you just the mission was and why you did it this way and um you know why didn't you just blow up the tower from the outside and boy says or our you know our commander thought it may it would you know we there were too many soldiers we were outnumbered so the best way to do it was to do it from the inside um and he says so that was a good call i wish your commander were here or corporal were here for me to congratulate him. But good work, and you're going to be with C unit from here on out. They, like, reassign them. And then he says, wait, soldier, one minute.

Is there anything worth us sort of digging up from that rubble of the church? You know, there's rumors that there were maybe experiments going on there, and did you see anything that we should dig up? And he says, no, sir, just the radio control room, but we blew that up. And he's like, all right, yeah, that's what I thought. Thank you. So Boyce goes back out.

He meets up with his friends now, and they ask, you know, what's next? And he says, oh, we've been reassigned to C unit. And Tibbett's like, man, I thought they would have just sent us the fuck home. And Boyce says, no, we've got a job to finish. You know, now he accepts being a soldier and what it's worth. And they all are happy. and they all are happy and we sort of pan out

and a fun song that seems very out of theme with the rest of this movie starts playing and credits. Oh my God. Wait, that is so funny that maybe the moral

of the story is like Is that okay to be a soldier? It's good to be a soldier. Yeah, I will say I really like this movie. I thought that ending was weird. I bet they had a bunch of different ending options. They probably did. And for whatever reason, they chose that one.

They probably did. And like, here's what I said to Joel as we were watching. As I was like, okay, the difference between a horror movie and an action movie. Is in an action movie, your heroes make it out on top, right? Like you will lose your lives, you have some fatalities, but like in the end of an action movie, your heroes are like, boy, did we get away with something, you know? And that's how you know that it is an action movie, not a horror movie, even though, you know, there were some severed bodies and fluids and zombies and stuff.

And yeah, and technically Ford died, but Ford died like willingly in order to like even though you know there were some severed bodies and fluids and zombies and stuff um and yeah and technically ford died but ford died like willingly in order to like save the world basically besides being horrifically beaten up beforehand by some of that was super yeah it's zombie um so they were creating a bunch of zombies to attack on their behalf i guess yeah so they were using dead bodies they were killing people and then also taking dead bodies from the war and turning them into zombies to fight on germany's Wow. Well, I'm really glad that they managed to blow that lab up. I'm really glad. I'm so glad. Yeah, I thought would have been really, really fucked up. That was definitely gory. I'm surprised that you were so like chill with watching it. Emily. You've come so far in this journey of yours. I've come so far. You've come so far. But yeah, you're 100% right. It's like the big difference is that they made it

out alive and they were all happy and okay at the end. Yeah, they're like really happy at the end. It's a really happy ending. They feel great about, they feel great about everything that happened. It's a true like mission accomplished moment for all of them. So I will say, maybe next so we may miss Sammy some more times in the next few weeks. She's very, very busy, working very hard. She's very successful, very proud of her.

If I have to watch a movie again, I might, I say this now, but who knows, I might try to watch one that's scarier. I want to push myself, but then in the moment, I never actually do so we'll see what happens but i am glad i saw this movie i really liked it and i like to discover a new action movie that i haven't seen before because as i said i fucking love action movies so um all in all glad i watched it i think it's very doable, but it is quite nasty. Nasty.

Well, you can watch one with Joel, and that'll be okay. And also, I just want to say, I'm surprised there aren't more horror movies that are based in war. Right? It's, like, exactly the backdrop. I guess often they're trying, when they're making a horror movie, they're trying to have a really low budget. And it's hard to do that if you're depicting war scenes yeah war war scenes and like actions i mean all the explosives and stuff like it makes sense to me why this budget was so high but um it feels like there should be more yeah there should be more horror war movies more war be. Okay, so should we say French goodbye? Oh my god, we absolutely should.

We absolutely should. Or I could do it like Tibbet. Wait, hold on. I have to figure out one of his lines so that I can do it again. The mouse. Okay, hold on. Yeah, there we go. This guy can't even kill a mouse.

Okay, so from all of us here at Too Scary to Do What, goodbye. Goodbye. That was really good, Hen. That was really good. Alrighty, that's it. You made it to the bitter end. If you had as much fun as we did, head on over to Apple Podcasts where you can rate,
