Sammy, here's what I did this week. Are you ready? Mm-hmm. I purchased the Hailey Bieber smoothie. I'm so excited to tell you about it. I have, okay, I've now had a job for three, count them, three weeks. That's Hailey Bieber smoothie money, baby. And it's Hailey Bieber smoothie money. And I truly was like, I, as okay, I've been talking

about this a lot. I have a job now. I've literally never in my 32 years of life, which, you know, not all of that are you supposed to have a job for, but it's taken me until now to have a honest to goodness, real job with consistent money coming in. You know, you work your job, you get paid. It's a job. It's real. It's not going to vanish in an instant sort of situation. You don't, you know, thank your lucky stars. You've been given the opportunity to work a job and earn a little bit of money. So, um, basically I'm rich now and I treated myself this weekend to i was having i my tummy was had been hurting for a couple days and so i was like well a smoothie would be like you know nice and easy which is in my head i was like i think it depends but yeah so i was like i could just drink something you

know that sounds nice and so i realized i was like you know what if i'm gonna do it if i'm gonna get a smoothie i'm gonna get the hailey bieber smoothie so i did i went to air one on a saturday afternoon which is what an experience a crazy time to be at a crazy place also let me tell you this i've only stepped into an air one one time before in my life and it was at a different point in my life and i don't think i can do it i don't think i can do it because i can see how easily i would become seduced like as soon as i'm in there i'm like okay i want everything i want everything all the food looked so good because i had already pre-ordered so i showed up to pick it up but i still had to wait a little bit so i was one I was wandering Erewhon you know just waiting for my smoothie and all the food looked amazing the whole little like you know prepared food section case everything it just

was like I could really find myself wanting to spend money at Erewhon and it is actually absurd the prices are not anywhere near reasonable even for being overpriced it's like there's overpriced and then there is oh I'm sorry what um which so I just I you know I'm not I might I'm rich obviously now But I'm not that rich I'm not Erewhon rich So I'm really not rich at all But anyway I got the Hailey Bieber smoothie Joel also got a smoothie Joel's smoothie though was only $13

Oh yeah there are some pretty standard Priced smoothies there I mean that's like anyone can get that smoothie That's basically pennies But I got the Hailey Bieber smoothie, which is $18. $18 for a 16-ounce smoothie. We're talking more than a dollar per ounce of beverage. Liquid gold.

That's liquid gold. And it was very good. It was very good. But you know what? I'm not going to get it again. And not just because it's $18. I i'm gonna make a controversial statement and say i prefer punch bowl i prefer the smoothies the punch bowl i did go to punch bowl this week and it was good which is also you know what it was the smoothie was very good but it was really very sweet

like it was a little too sweet like hayley you shouldn't be having that much sugar because i presume she has this smoothie every day of her life every single day um a little too sweet but delicious i mean absolutely delicious but just you know can't can't do it all the time maybe we'll never do it again i've been trying to like try all their smoothies not all of them but i had to just work through that gift card on a previous episode i've been gifted a gift card and that is the best way to use that gift card i think is just try all the smoothies that's actually incredible and the hayley bieber one's not my favorite so far i still like the first one i tried which was a chocolate one with cold brew in it and it was probably because of how i don't usually drink

coffee and it really sent me flying in a way that was going from like not usually having any coffee to cold brew in particular is like your body was just i was a woo i was on top but i do actually think it tasted better too it was was less sweet and I just, I like a chocolate smoothie. I don't know if that's controversial. I don't think that's controversial. I think a lot of people like it. That's what I make at home too.

I do a strawberry, a frozen strawberries with my chocolate protein powder and some peanut butter. Yeah. And maybe some spinach or some kale. Yeah. Yep. Yep. Yep.

Yep. Yep. I like a, um, a sort of nutty, datey smoothie. Yeah. And maybe some spinach or some kale. Yeah. Yep. Yep. Yep. I like a, um, a sort of nutty datey smoothie. Yeah. I really like a like banana, almond milk, nut butter date situation. Um, that's sort of like, yeah, put some, put some leafy greens in there. Um, maybe some blueberries. Ooh, baby, I'm'm gonna have a smoothie After this I'm gonna have a smoothie

All this smoothie talk But yeah I just I was excited to I was excited to tell you That I That I did it Yeah

I'm excited to hear it You get to cross it off Your LA bucket list That's true It feels like Such an LA thing It's true And they do

They do us all a favor By putting it on the menu As just the strawberry glaze So you Strawberry glaze You don't a favor by putting it on the menu as just the strawberry glaze so you don't have to say i'll have the hayley and but the little sign that says what's in it is like hayley bieber's strawberry glaze skid and smoothie or something and anyway so i did it congratulations thank you and i'm happy for you that it's not an immediate like oh and now i have to drink this all the time because that's the scary thing and that's the risk that that is the risk yeah that's the risk that we that we both took yes and i'm glad to i'm really happy to report that it did not change my life

yeah great yeah absolutely loved it yeah yep yep how about you sammy anything scary anything smoothie you know one scary thing did happen which is that i saw a mosquito and a flea in my house in the same day and that was it was about it was earlier this week it's been a couple days and so they're both i haven't seen them again okay i haven't been getting bitten except for you know that i have a bite on my toe right now. But that did come from when I was outside of my house yesterday. Oh, the flea thing makes me nervous. I know. I've had fleas before with my cats. Oh, no.

I immediately put flea medication. I had some left over. So I put it on my boys who are indoor cats. But there are just like nasty street cats yes hang out at the doors and those little fleas get in and it's summer it's bad so i'm so i've been vacuuming a lot but the other thing i wanted to talk about is just how i have been scared seeing all the comments and posts that think that the sag after guild joining the strike is like rich, famous people wanting to get richer. Okay. Yeah. Let's talk about this. It's really driving me crazy. There are so many people that

are in those Instagram comments being like, Oh, poor A-list celebrities, like not getting enough money is driving me fucking crazy. I've had to really stop myself from like getting into fights with people because i you know i don't i mean i don't like to comment i'm there's no point there's no point in doing that i'm not gonna do that but i would like to straighten some things out let's straighten some things out because it's true look we you know the actors we think about the actors we see are a-list celebrities that's what we're talking about when we talk about movies when we're talking about gossip celebrity gossip We love it

We love celebrities Celebrities make up A very small percentage Of working actors Yep 86% of Actors in SAG-AFTRA 86%

86% of union members Do not make enough yearly To qualify for SAG-AFTRA Healthcare And you only have to make $26,000 a year To qualify for SAGRA after healthcare. And you only have to make $26,000 a year to qualify for healthcare. 86% of working actors make less than $26,000 a year. Yeah. I mean, and it's, it's, it's so crazy. The life of an actor, you, you, and I get the like

entitlement. I get how people In other jobs can like roll their eyes At those conversations at times But like at least be open to like hearing the facts Of the situation which is that like People that are working actors have to Go to so many fucking auditions you don't get Paid to go to auditions there's like so

Much of your job that is unpaid Work yes And You can't a lot of times it's hard to maintain another like full-time job because you need to have schedule flexibility you get auditions when i was acting and would get auditions it would be best case scenario night before usually oftentimes day of you have to have a job that allows you to leave day of wait for an who knows how long sit in a room not get paid audition for a thing that you probably won't get yeah and you

do it multiple times you'd be like maybe you get a call back and then you do that again yep and maybe you get a second call back and you do that again and then maybe you don't get the job and that happens over and over and over and over again. Yeah. And it's just like, people aren't being fairly compensated for their time and effort that they're putting into it. They're not getting healthcare. And like, regardless of your thoughts on the industry as a whole, like the conversation is between working people and like fucking corporate CEOs that are making mega million, like so much fucking money. So it's like, there are two sides on that fight. And if you're against like the actors, you're for the

people making, you're for the fucking David Zaslavs and Bob Igers. $15 million a year. And so even if this doesn't affect your industry personally, I think like any union victory is a victory for working class people across america and like we have so many problems with the wealth gap growing wealth gap and the ceos have made more and more money as unions have become less and less common and huge corporations have uh clauses and anti-union things baked into their creation for a reason and i just feel like if you're feeling like people are entitled and you have it harder and you have it worse um at your job like look into fucking unionizing your job i think yeah also like i that mentality really is, it hurts everyone.

Like I get it. People work really fucking hard and don't make enough money across many, many industries. But does the suffering of others improve your situation? Like that, if you know, it's like, that is not a helpful mentality for anyone.

The answer is you also shouldn't be suffering like that. Let's find a way to make that not the case for anyone. And like, I know that it can seem like an act being an actor is like a really cush job. You show up, you act, whatever it. And for some people, I think that that's true. But that is. It's it is brutal. It is really emotionally and mentally taxing.

I mean, I used to do it, and I do not do it anymore. Yeah. Because it is, I think, a terrible life. It's a really, really hard hard Really hard way to live and I chose That I would prefer to go back to school And pay for that And then work a fucking 9 to 5 job

Because being an actor is really Fucking awful and you never make enough money Like I said I'm 32 I've never made Consistent money in my life and I've been Working my whole life. And like, it's just, it's, and that's just me, but I'm just saying it's really, it's just really fucking hard. And again, like the, the problem is the, the structure and the wealth gap and like CEOs used

to make 30 times what the like lowest paid worker that they was in their corporation made now it's 400 times right so that's the problem the problem it's a it's a very lucrative industry and that money is going somewhere and it's going to a few people only is that it's more fairly distributed because the accumulation of wealth is going to yeah mostly like 10 people and that's a problem in all industries and nation nationwide that we should all be concerned about and we should be on the side of the of the non ceos yeah we should all be we should all be on the side of the non-ceos because another thing that's coming up with all of this is like the ai uh discussion which is going to affect everyone's industry and everyone's jobs um that is an inevitability uh they tried to put a clause in the studio execs the ceos the side of the

people we should all be against tried to put a clause in that would say a background actor which is basically like anytime you watch any movie or tv show which we know you love to do this is a movie podcast hello yeah all the people all the people in the background, right? Call them background actors, call them extras. Like that's, you know, they make like a hundred dollars a day, a hundred something dollars a day. But that's like, that's a job that people do day in, day out. People work every day of the week doing that.

That's how they make their money. Yep. I've done it before. When I first moved to LA, it's fucking sucks. It's so boring. I hated it. But people do it. People love it.

It's a means to like, it is a way to make money which people need because nobody makes a living wage fucking in this country at all but they tried to put a clause in that would say if you worked as a background actor one day on any show movie whatever they could use ai to clone your face in perpetuity meaning you work one day and then you don't have a job ever again yeah that's what this that is what this fight is about like that is what we're up against is people trying to make as much money as possible squeeze it as from every single real living human being yep so they can continue to make more than 400 x what those people are making yeah it's disgusting and they were there was that deadline article it was bob eiger right that said baby ceo of disney and abc in case anybody doesn't know yeah he said that the end game or their their

strategy for this strike is to hold out long enough that people start losing their homes and apartments and then they'll really want to work again. And so they'll accept whatever shitty terms are put in front of them. Says a man making 50 million dollars a year. Yeah. So approximately that's fucking super villain shit. And so if you are not against that person like i just don't understand i just don't understand how i think it's it's a misinformation people like don't quite understand the situation and i get it it's it's complicated yes but like the actors are not

your enemies here no and the actors that we're talking about is not fucking like mark ruffalo and right i don't even know but it's like, fuck you. I know we see celebrities on the picket lines, but that's because that's interesting. We love celebrities, but it's like it's not that's not the fucking point. No. And it's them being there is still good, though, because they're the ones with huge visibility that people care about. Yeah. And much more leverage. Like if Mark Ruffalo walks off a a set that's a bigger deal than someone who's already been out of work and is more regularly out of work walking off their set the cast of Oppenheimer leaving their premiere is makes more of a statement than not the cast of Oppenheimer

but again like the cast of Oppenheimer those people think about it they're doing it in solidarity think about like okay how many movies we've seen florence pew in yeah she's one lady that's just think about how many people are at florence pew tier they're at florence pew tier because they're in all the things then there's a bunch of other actors who are not in all the things and when they are they make so much less money and it's like you're lucky if you get to work as an actor you feel lucky because most of the time you don't get any job most of your year most of your life for most actors is hoping and going to auditions and paying for classes and paying for self-tapes and it's like it's so brutal yeah and again i know it's easy to roll your eyes like okay well they're just an

actor do you like movies and tv shows probably right takes people to make those things happen and this and also we're you know the writers are also striking that's also Really important It's just yeah it's bad CEOs are absolute Villains also we have a massive homelessness Problem in LA And in this country And the number one cause of homelessness in Los Angeles Is loss of income and these CEOs

Are straight up quoted saying Well hopefully we'll get more homeless people Right So that then They'll be desperate To take our shitty terms It's just absolutely Ghoulish And I just

It's ghoulish Which is a word We don't use enough I fuck It's appropriate here They're fucking ghouls And you should be mad at them They're the people

That we should all be Collectively fighting against Not just in this industry But in all industries I think we should have A general strike Yes And like The thing is The more Yes Like there is fighting against not just in this industry but in all industries i think we should have a general strike yes and like the thing is the more yes it like there is solidarity and more leveraging power the more people join this fight so like yeah sag striking helps wga striking which helps other

unions to strike which helps other working class people like it is important yeah it's like it's truly on this one there's there are really just two sides and it's either your base that you're like a fucking multi-millionaire billionaire or you're not those are the sides yeah it's i work in non-fiction which is always not union and this has just gathered some momentum and bringing conversations again of producers and editors and everyone involved in non-union unionizing. And I just feel inspired and I feel like our country needs massive change. like we should all feel inspired and motivated to create a working class or like conditions that are actually sustainable for the working class and you should be able to work a job and live your life like basically point blank you should be able to be a contributor to society work a job and live and not suffer and not go without health care and not it's like it's really it's there should be basic interest looking up there should be like a line

that we don't let people get below because we have enough fucking money and resources to make that possible yeah nobody is good if people. It's bad for all of us. It's just like, what? It's bad. Yeah. Anyway. No, yeah. I've been feeling worked up about it as well.

And yeah, I just hope that we can view each other as allies in a fight against fucking ghouls, Zaslav and Bob Iger and these motherfuckers. Yeah. But anywho, so I spent some time this week being pretty heated about all that. And it's hot outside. And it is hot. So, baby, I cooled off with some nice horror. A nice horror movie.

Chilled you to the bone absolutely chilled me uh and like i said this was chosen by our patrons our movie today is silent hill came out in 2006 directed by christoph ganz written by roger avery who is the writer of Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs. Really surprised me. Is this on the same tier, would you say? No, I would not. Okay. It wasn't poorly written, but it just like, it just, I'm just surprised that this is what he went to next.

Did after that, yeah. what he went to next after that yeah uh it is starring rada mitchell laurie holden deborah kara unger from a little movie you might know called the game she's the main woman in the game and i feel like i've never seen her in anything else and she's in this i was very excited that's really exciting uh jodell furland and sean bean sean bean sean bean uh-oh what's sean bean gonna do what's he gonna do in this one sean bean famous for dying in everything that he's in this movie's available to rent for 3.99 emily what do you know about this movie i feel like we've maybe mentioned it here and there it's what as soon as you said the title I was like I can recall this yeah like exists somewhere in my past that like this movie came out when I was in high school so I'm sure I was like aware

yeah of it but beyond that I've got nothing draw on a blank i feel like it we talked about it in a recent episode and now i can't remember what it was but the the main thing to know about this movie is that it's based on a video game and so it might have been more in the you know public conversation while the last of us was happening i could there was a lot of times that i was reminded of the last of us uh it's not um zombies but it feels very much like a video game which i feel like the last of us also does you're just kind of like moving through yep things and things are happening to you and then you move past them and continue on your path yeah basically yeah but i had not seen it this was my first viewing it had been requested quite a few times and i i enjoyed it

um i will tell you that it has a 32 on rotten tomatoes not so high 31 on metacritic also pretty low and imdb sticking true to a 6.5 yes you can count on that you can count on that which is to say you can't count on it to mean anything yeah exactly what does it mean what does it mean is the imdb scale like a scale from six to seven is that like their whole it's like it's just on a scale from six to seven is that like their whole it's like it's just on a scale from six to seven how much do you like this movie yep 6.1 6.2 6.5 right uh the budget was 50 million and it made 100.6 million okay not too shabby now that's the bean effect that's the bean effect baby and some trivia for us oh yeah the video game was created by kichiro toyama published by the video game company konami this game is super super popular or at least it was i don't know i'll i'll have a disclaimer right now that i don't know shit about video games i've

obviously never i've never played this video game So don't come at me if I get things wrong. I'm sure there's lots of little Easter eggs and shit that I did not catch. Cause I am completely unfamiliar with the video game. No idea. And I would never play a spook. Oh, I played one spooky video game and I hated it so much. I played the walking dead video game. Oh my God. And it was, I was absolutely was absolutely miserable oh my god i still remember being doing a sleepover in middle school at melinda shearer's house and her brother and his friend were playing the resident evil video game and the house was all dark and it was so scary it was so scary yeah and they were rich so the house was big and it was like and the TV was big and I just really hated it. Yeah. I don't like a scary video game.

I don't like anything. Well, it's, I mean, interesting to say, I don't like being in the protagonist's shoes any more than I have to, you know, I like to be. Yeah. Take me, take me far, take me far out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cause I also don't like a haunted house. I'll do it.

And I'll probably at the end be like, Ooh, that was scary. You don't like a haunted house i'll do it and i'll probably at the end be like oh that was scary you don't like it while you're in it i'm like not having a good time while it's happening uh some casting what ifs the main character in this movie is played by rata mitchell who i recognized from man on fire She's got she's kind of a that girl. Yeah. Okay. Because she's in so much stuff, but I couldn't really place it at first. And then I was like, I think Man on Fire. Anyways, some casting. What if what ifs for her character, Meg Ryan auditioned and Mia Jovovich, which I thought was funny because of Resident Evil. Like you said, she's in the Resident Evil movies, which the first one

was in 2002, so she would have already been doing that. So it would feel, I feel like it's a good thing they didn't cast her. Yeah. People would get confused. What am I watching Resident Evil? What's happening? Yeah.

And this is some spooky trivia the so basically the general concept of silent hill is they're in this abandoned ghost town and it's a town where there's a fire burning underground so it's very foggy and smoky and raining ash and like hard to see anything. And this is based on a real town called Centralia, Pennsylvania. And in May 1962, the city ordered to have the local landfill burned in an attempt to clean up the waste. But the fire spread through unsealed tunnels and openings that led to an abandoned coal mine and this ignited a fire that burns holy shit to this day that they were never able to put out and so they they closed the town everyone had to leave obviously and i just can't

believe that that's possible crazy you can just close a town town's closed really wild i think some people did try to stay for a bit i mean that would not be fun obviously eventually i think you'd be like oh it's really not this fire's not stopping no it's not it's not good here huh yeah i can't i'm not gonna wait out this fire but wow how crazy that that can even happen yeah i don't like that i liked this some some sean bean trivia some bean trivia for us uh he's the only one out of all the actors who didn't even try to play the game he just saw the game packaging and was like i get it fucking love that hell yeah sean bean he's like uh yeah, no, I'm not going to be doing that. I still regret that we didn't name Theo Sean Bean.

That's funny. I would like to name a cat Sean Bean. You'd have to get a fifth cat. Or, you know, a replacement fourth someday. Yeah, true. God, I love Sean Bean. He's really great. I thought this was funny to add to the accumulated filth caused by her

character's journey through silent hill rata mitchell did not wash her hair through the entire filming how long was the shoot i don't know but your scalp would get so angry yeah i feel like we got hair and makeup for a reason you know and also yeah what a shame how rude to the hair and makeup department to be completely honest like people had to get near her head yeah and i do know that like your your hair your body adjusts your head adjusts but i don't know if that's enough time and also I don't know that that's worth it Aww well good for her I don't like it though

I don't like it And this film is included on Roger Ebert's Most hated list Oh yeah Should we make our way through that list We probably should yeah We've done a couple We've definitely done a couple

Human Centipede. Green Inferno, I think. Yeah, that one was on there. We agree. But he gave this film one and a half stars, which feels like, OK, well, do you need it? There's a lower rating than that. You know, using the old IMDB system on a scale from one to two to do a scale from one and a half to two.

Well, yeah, let's go from one and a half to two. It scale from one and a half to two well yeah let's go from one and a half to two it gets a one and a half that's all the trivia i got i mean there's so much trivia because there's three movies and three video games and so i just didn't want to get too deep into it i could spend my whole life looking at trivia she's supposed to spend her whole life on that page? Come on. Guys, be reasonable. She can't spend her whole life on the trivia page. I got shit to do. She's got shit to do.

Go easy. Go easy on me, guys. We can lay off for a second. Lay off! Lay off? But okay, should we watch this trailer? Oh yeah, baby. Let's do it. Honey, sometimes when you go to sleep, you go on a little walk.

And sometimes you talk about a place. I don't remember. That's why we're going to go there. So you can remember. Sean! Sean! Somebody! Help! Sharon!

Christopher, Sharon's gone. I need your help. I'm not okay. Please, hurry. Hurry! Fire started 30 years ago. Sharon! I don't know what's happening. Do you know what's going on here? This place is completely cut off. Only the dark one opens and closes the door to sad and ill. Hey! Where is she? I'm trying to find my wife.

She looks exactly like Sharon. Why? Rose, come on! Rose, hurry! It's coming! It seems like a lot's going on here. There's a lot. It really is a lot. I don't know what is... There's nasty stuff. There's fire, there's ghosts, there's weird creatures. There's a little child named Sharon.

I know, that really threw me. That really threw me for a loop. In the beginning, as I was taking notes, I was like, well, the mom's named Sharon. I know. That really threw me. It really threw me for a loop. In the beginning as I was taking notes, I was like, well, the mom's obviously Sharon. Sharon has to be the mom. But no, it's the daughter. Huh. Is Sean Bean doing an American accent? Yes. And not so well? It's not great.

Yeah, it didn't sound so great. Sometimes it's fine, but it really you know, really peeks through at times. Also, that's the girl from Scream 5 and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Sharon? No, Sharon. I think. No, I don't think it is.

You know who it is. It's little girl from Twilight Eclipse who. Yes, that's who it is. And that's not the same girl? I know you're thinking of the girl from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood Is also in I Think You Should Leave Wow She's so funny in I Think You Should Leave

But no yeah she's from Twilight Eclipse Okay Does the mom feel like that lady to you? She does She kind of almost looks like Shannon Sossaman to me Does the mom feel like that lady to you? She does. Yes, she does. She kind of almost looks like Shannon Sossaman to me. Yes, I could see that.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. With the like kind of square face shape and strong eyebrows. Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh. But you're right. You're exactly right. There's a lot going on in this movie. That was a lot. And because it's just her moving through a world and facing different challenges. And so it's just a constant.

Different levels, right? You like that makes sense. Yeah. Because I feel like in video games, it is like that where it's like, oh, on this level. I mean, again, I don't play them, but I feel like it's like, oh, well, in this level or in this new chapter, it's yeah. It's like now this is your villain. Yep. And then you go further down and now it's the, you know, zombie, the mummy people. And then it's like, oh, now it's the fire.

Yep. It also was reminding me of The Mist at times, I guess, because it's so foggy. And it has Lori Holden, who's she's in both of them and she's in The Walking Dead as well oh The Mist yeah it was kind of reminding me of that this must have been around that time I can't remember now what year The Mist was but just kind of had that vibe yeah yeah at times yeah Mist was 2007 so just year. Oh man. I haven't thought about how upset the mist made me in a while. It got, it got replaced, but it's up there. That's a, it's a really tough one. It's really tough. It's really, really up there. Oh no. So devastating. Yeah. This is not,

yeah. Don't, this will be easy peasy compared to the mist actually there's like there's some pretty upsetting stuff but i don't think you'll feel as bad as the mist i don't think you'll feel as bad okay 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'm excited to find out. Yeah, let's do it. Let's do it. I guess this is probably not a very encouraging start, but I do have to give a trigger warning for child abuse and child sexual violence. No! So, yeah, not great okay uh but here we go okay yeah here we go we open with a mother and father this is rada mitchell and sean bean they are sean bean

just think about the fact for a while that his last name is Bean. And spelled like Sean, but with a B. Which is how Bean is spelled. He spelled Sean. Yes, exactly. Yeah. Yeah. Seen Bean. Yeah.

They're not pronounced the same. What if Bean were pronounced Bon? That would be really silly. It'd be a whole different universe if we, Black Bons. Black Bons. Black Bonds. Some Black Bonds and rice. It's just weird to think about. Anyway, just to remember that his last name is Bean.

He's Mr. Bean. Mr. Bean. Wow. You're right. I had not thought of that. Anyway. Which is very funny for someone who's... Just something to think about.

I feel like I've thought a fair deal about Sean Bean, and I've never thought about that. Anyway. Which is very funny for someone who's shot. Just something to think about. I feel like I've thought a fair deal about Sean Bean and I've never thought about him being Mr. Bean. You don't separate him, you know? It's just Sean Bean. Yep. Please, call me Sean. Mr. Bean was my father. Okay, well, let's move on. So, I'll call him Sean Bean because I don't remember his character's name.

Please do. His mother's name is rose and they are running out of their house in the middle of the night screaming for their daughter sharon she sleepwalks and has left the house scary it's a pretty scary opening scene they run to they live very nearby a very huge waterfall cliff and so she runs to the edge of the waterfall she's looking down below to see if she can see if her daughter has fallen down there and she looks up and her daughter's actually on an even higher ledge right at the end of this cliff oh no and is asleep and she's whispering to herself home home home and we see the maybe from the daughter's perspective the waterfall turn into like a fiery mine shaft and she's about to step

into it when rose gets up to her and knocks her back and is able to prevent her from falling. And as she's still kind of sleeping and waking up from her dream, she is saying, Silent Hill, Silent Hill. Next day, Rose and Sean Bean are discussing how she said it again. She said Silent Hill again. This is something that she always says during her sleepwalking spells.

That would not be good. Rose decides that they're going to take, she's going to take Sharon to Silent Hill. They've basically looked it up. It's a real place not far from them. And so they're going to go there to see if it sparks her memory in some way and figure out what the hell's going on adopted daughter or adopted daughter yes okay because it'd be very wild if it was your daughter that you gave birth to who had never been to silent hill let's see if it sparks her memory you're like well yes good point good point yeah she is adopted and sean bean seems this idea, does not want to go to Silent Hill. So Rose takes her by herself. And not a great relationship dynamic. We see that this is clearly taking a toll on their relationship. Things are tense between them. He is researching Silent Hill. He sees the information about there being a fire

underground it being an abandoned ghost town he does not like the sound of this doesn't want his wife and child going there but they're on the road she not do any research on silent hill before going because i feel like if you saw that you'd be like oh i guess actually no yeah no i guess not she just went straight there and they rose and share, stop at a gas station on the way and ask for further directions. And basically everyone's like, oh, why are you going there? The roads are all closed off. Nobody goes there anymore. And she's like, please just tell me where.

And they reluctantly give her directions. The whole town is on fire. You can't go there. Lady, you can't go there lady you can't go there don't go there but she is determined and she a mother's will is looking a little i don't know unhinged in this like she's panicked And she's looking like she's desperate for A solution and I think A solution might be a really high up Lock on your door Yes

Don't go to Silent Hill go to the hardware store put a lock Up outside of your child's reach Maybe find a sleep therapist that would be A better you know I'm not a mom But those seem like things I would do Maybe try those yeah And there is A cop at this gas I'm not a mom, but those seem like things I would do. Maybe try those. Yeah. Yeah. And there is a cop at this gas station played by Lori Holden.

And she notices Rose looks suspicious kind of with the girl and clocks it as maybe a potential abduction that's happening because the girl looks kind of scared and the mom looks kind of crazed yeah and so she trying to take her to a burning fire town yeah and so she follows them without them knowing they continue down the road and as rose and sharon are approaching silent, they go off on the closed off road and are speeding down the road. When a little girl that looks surprisingly similar to Sharon steps in front of their car and Sharon, I mean, excuse me, Rose, the mom's name is Rose, not Sharon. Very confusing. Swerves to avoid hitting her and gets in a bad accident. Really bonks her head real good. Knocks her out.

And when she comes to, it looks like it's snowing, but as she gets out of the car, she sees that it is ash sharon is gone and when she swerved to avoid hitting the child did do we see like we did in the trailer that it's a ghost i don't think so no i think that was for the trailer but i can't totally remember but i mean it's fine who cares i didn't remember seeing that no okay so sharon is gone it's thick ash or like thick foggy smoke maybe in the air it's really like hard to see around her she's calling out to sharon her child's named sharon sharon sharon and it's not a peer it's my child sharon it's not a woman my age it's not one of my age or older it's not a peer. It's my child, Sharon. It's not a woman my age.

It's not a woman my age or older. It's a young, young person. Little girl, Sharon. Little girl, Sharon, I should say. So nobody's confused because I know it is confusing. Well, I see a lot of children, but no adults. So it's giving what she's talking about. And we see, sure Sure enough a sign that says

Welcome to Silent Hill And she walks down the road In pursuit of finding Her daughter Sharon And this is all like yeah the first Ten minutes this all happens Really quickly This movie is two hours and ten minutes

Long so I was like after this moment How is there two more hours But there is we'll find a way they'll find a way uh so she's exploring this town which is nasty and abandoned and covered in ash and you know just everything's run down and scary looking and as she is trying to find sharon she starts walking down this kind of tight alleyway. And then these sirens start going off in the distance, like blaring, almost air raid sounding sirens. And as that's happening, she's looking confused and it starts getting dark. We're thinking, what the fuck is happening? And it gets completely pitch black.

And it should be like that, like an immediate pitch black, like not the sun setting, just sort of like. Correct. And it's outside and literally like can't see your hand in front of your face. Pitch black. That's really bad. And she uses her cell phone or something as a light finds some sort of source of light and it doesn't know what's happening and is going through these um alleyways and finds what looks like maybe a basketball court or something something like a big

high chain link fence that there is a man in a gas mask tied to with barbed wire with all of his like organs falling out of his stomach but he's still alive and his eyes are bulging through the gas mask and he's kind of moaning at uh rose as she finds him she's totally totally fucking screaming, freaking out. What the fuck is going on? Fucking screaming. She is totally fucking screaming. And I would be too.

Yeah. Makes a lot of sense. And as she's backing up, she almost bumps into a little monster looking child and is quickly swarmed by what looked like to me, little lava children, children made out of lava. They look very silly, very CGI. Although I did read that most of the people, I think they did use actual actors to that were contortionists and dancers to try to move in these ways but to make them you know look like lava obviously there had to additionally be some cgi yes and so

they are chasing her she's running from them they look scary and are stretching like lava like as they move and moan their skin is separating and kind of bubbling, boiling. And they're about to catch up to her, and she's screaming and trying to kick them off when the lights come back up and it becomes regular daytime again, and they all kind of disappear into little smoke, little pieces of ash again that fly up into the air. And the town is still nasty, but it's, you know, not as nasty as when it's all dark and there's a lot of people.

Yeah, exactly. So she's running now trying to get the fuck out of here and she reaches the end of town and it is a straight drop off the edge of a cliff so she is stuck there's nowhere to go and she runs into this vagrant looking woman that almost kind of looked like someone from dark crystal to me this is the woman from the game but she looks almost like a puppet her makeup and i think it's because she has like supposed to have like thick ash on her face and so it just has this very uh strange quality to it where she looks kind of not fully human but and she's also like essentially it looks like a disney villain witch with her little uh you know cape over her and she's waddling around kind of speaking in riddles being like only the only he with the

dark soul can open and close the night time i literally don't know i don't know what she says at all but she's not saying things do you just make the night by the spot only the dark soul can open and close the night time because that i really good it's something along those lines i really like that sammy um she's not speaking normally she's we're immediately aware that this is not just a normal person that's gonna be not a normal lady she's not gonna be helping us uh solve the mystery of this town we're not going to be having a normal conversation. But Rose tries. She shows her a photo or she's saying, could you please, I need to find my daughter, help me. And she's like, this woman says, my daughter's gone too. They took her, they took my daughter too. And Rose shows her a photo of Sharon and this woman whose name is Dahlia.

We find out later, but I'll say it now so that we can keep track. Dahlia kind of lunges at her, gets her eyes get all big. She says, that's my daughter. That's my she's mine. She's mine. And Rose is freaked out, pulls away, pushes the lady off and runs. And now she runs back to her car and she's trying to go back the way that she came. And again, it's a cliff drop like this road has changed.

And now it's there's no escaping. Oh, but as she's back at her car the cop arrives from earlier and oh there is a scene where the cop is tries to pull them over on their way to silent hill and rose fucking floors it and i think the cop gets in like a motorcycle accident she's a motorcycle cop cop so the cop has caught up to her apparently and is now trying to arrest her and rose is saying no my you don't understand like my daughter's in here i need to i need to save her and the cop is seeing this as like oh the little girl that you were with is now gone the little girl that i was suspecting that you maybe came here to, you know, murder or do something bad to. And so this cop is not going to be helping Rose at this time, puts her in handcuffs.

And as they're there, decide they have to walk back because she's a motorcycle cop and the other car is now wrecked from the car crash and so they're about to start walking back to town although it they would have found out that i think it's a cliff's edge anyways uh but the they're attacked by a monstery looking guy that looks like a he's cocooned in human skin he's like kind of writhing around underneath skin almost looks like he's cocooned in human skin. He's kind of writhing around underneath skin. He almost looks like an Academy Award. Made out of skin. Okay, great, great.

And the cop shoots him and is now aware that something's something's not right oh something's not right here yeah yeah yeah rose is maybe not lying that something really bad is going on but in that attack it gives rose the chance to run away she just runs in the commotion with her hands handcuffed behind her back she just runs for it no back into the town meanwhile we see sean bean on his way to silent hill he is gonna go find them he stops at the same gas station and at some point another cop overhears his conversation or something and this cop whose name is thomas gucci oh my god i love it thomas gucci officer gucci uh says or like overhears him and knows that the cop that we've met before is missing and was headed that way and so he is curious and he's basically like i'll come with you and he's from silent hill he's like i used to live in silent hill so i will accompany

you there to try to find your your wife and daughter and also our missing police officer that it's not looking good no so they go to silent Hill and this looks like a completely different Silent Hill than the one that we see. It's sunny. I mean, it's still abandoned and gross, but it's not foggy and raining ash. And so this might be more than a case of just being lost. This might be an upside down sort of situation Yeah, it's not looking good So we go back to what we're presuming is Maybe an alternate dimension version of Silent Hill Raining ash again, we see Rose running

She runs into a nasty old school There's men in gas Masks there Looking like they're searching for Something and they turn and see Rose and she's Immediately scared of them they look scary they look Like the Chernobyl kind of

Guys I don't know We just don't trust people in this place we don't Trust them now so she runs away from them And she runs into this classroom and finds a desk with fresh child size handprints on it because everything's covered in ash. And so she sees these clear little handprints and assumes that, uh, Sharon was here and she opens the desk that the handprints are on and we see

it's it was the desk of a girl named alessa gillespie and carved in her desk are kind of taunting phrases from i think other kids that are calling like alessa is a witch calling her a witch got it and as rose is looking at this she sees the figure of a little girl watching her and then running as she turns to to notice her and she follows her through the halls of the school into a bathroom and the little girl is now crying in one of the bathroom stalls moaning myrtle vibes and she's moving she's slowly approaching and saying it's okay you know i'm not gonna hurt you don't worry and as she opens the stall that she thinks this little girl is in there is another man Tied up with barbed wire In a really horrifying position Basically, what do you call it?

Hog tied? When you're like Oh, yeah Ankles to your feet To your feet are tied together with barbed wire And Well, I don't think it's specific to barbed wire When it's hog tied

No, no, no This is barbed wire That would be What's it called when your hands and feet Are tied together with barbed wire when it's hot no no no this is barbed wire that would be what's it called when your hands and feet are tied together with no i but he is he is a long dead it's okay i think this town was abandoned in the 70s it says and so he looks like he's been there for decades. He's pretty decayed. And there is a note in his mouth. And these kinds of things happen a lot where I think this probably makes more sense in the video game. Yeah. Where she goes to grab the note, which like normally I don't think you would do.

Yeah. I don't know that you would want to do that. She's like, oh, a clue where that would not be really your thought no i wouldn't in in a non-video game scenario i would not think this man has anything to do with my daughter but i would not think that this is a clue in the world of the video game she's like the little girl led me here and this is yes yes little girl maybe you'll find a note. Take the note from the mouth. Sort of that situation. Exactly.

But she grabs the note. And just as she is about to leave, the gas mask guys catch up with her and kind of corner her in this bathroom. There's no other exit of this bathroom. And so she just closes and locks the door and then presses up against it to hold them out, which I don't know. I feel like I've seen too many horror movies that I'm like, don't lean against the door. Anyone can. I mean, it's different, right? So there's different scenarios because sometimes you want to be able to press it closed for force. So someone can't force it open. But I'm also like someone can stab you right through that door.

Yeah. Big enough knife. Yeah, yeah, yeah. yeah yeah yeah and baby there's a big knife coming up uh oh not right here though this was this was the this did turn out to be the right call even though it made me very nervous but they we see on the other side of the door them trying to bash it in but they have a literal canary in a coal mine situation like a bird in a cage and the bird starts freaking out and they immediately drop what they're doing grab the bird they they run and not long after the sirens start going off again oh no we see rose praying please help me please help me she's holding her little um she has a locket of sharon's photo around neck and a necklace, and she's holding that and praying.

Then it starts getting dark again. And when it gets dark, it also transforms the world into it seems like hell, like it's a literal underworld situation. All the paint kind of deteriorates and and everything just becomes, I don't know, just like really. Just super upside down. Yeah. Yeah. A world within another world from a third dimension. Really, this is the worst one.

The worst one. The worst one. And after it's totally black and she's got a light on somehow again, I think her phone. That guy in the bathroom stall comes to life and starts coming towards her and he i don't know if he has one hand free he's kind of like wriggling towards he's also like hanging his tongue out going and it looks really gross and then as he puts he does have one hand out at least because he he puts a hand on a wall and where he touches it's almost like annihilation where the wall

turns like biological like it looks like it's muscles and veins spreading out flowering and spreading and coming towards her as if the as if the walls are are becoming like skin and blood like it's really gross and it's the the vfx aren't great like it doesn't look so nasty but it is it's a little nasty a little nasty yeah and as she's running to get away from him All these There's holes open up in the ground And all these nasty huge cockroaches Start pouring out Just hundreds of them chasing her

And she's running down the hall And she sees this really big Muscular man With a pyramid head He's got a big It's like not even a mask he doesn't have there's nowhere for him to look out of i mean i guess it's a mask but it's like this huge pyramid head his name is pyramid head in the games and apparently a little trivia that i did learn is that he's not actually in the first game and it doesn't canonically make sense for him to be

in this game for reasons that don't really make sense to me but because he was such a big audience favorite in the games they decided to put him in here and he is very scary okay so she's running from him down these halls school halls and we see again back to sean bean and officer gucci and we see that they're in the exact same place. They're in the halls and it's daytime and it's normal. Got it. So he and we see Sean Bean keeps having these moments of like I feel like

she's here and it's as if he's sensing her presence but they are not in the same plane of existence. Damn. I know that's how are they going to get out of this one and she's about to be we go back to rose and those bugs are about to fucking get her when someone grabs her and drags her and she's screaming get off me let me go and this person

pulls her into a room shuts the doors and we see that it is the other police officer. Her name is Sybil. Sybil. And Sybil closes these doors. It's like a machinery room of some sort and locks the doors. One little cockroach gets through and it has almost like a human face. It's like, bleh. Look at that, all nasty.

And Sybil stomps it, kills it. looking at him all nasty and sybil stomps it kills it but sybil doesn't have enough bullets to really make a big stand against this huge pyramid head man she's down to her last round of bullets so they're like sitting there quietly hoping that he doesn't find them and then there's this really loud sound We saw that he has a really big knife. I'm talking like eight feet long. It's really big. He's a giant, essentially. And we hear him dragging the knife along the metal ground.

So it's like making this loud scraping noise. Like when weapons get dragged. ground so it's like making this loud scraping noise like when weapons get dragged it that it the kind of person who would drag their weapon around is really a bad bad bad bad that's like at least at least pick it up just hold it just hold it above not touching the ground yeah don't drag it and i don't drag it on the wall Don't drag it You know Just keep Cause that's the same kind of person Yeah Dragging it on the wall I agree

So But he is dragging it And it's making a really loud sound And Sybil goes Do you hear that? And it really made me laugh And it really reminded me of That scene in Elf

Where Buddy burps So loud for like Two minutes straight It's like did you hear that Just the loudest Fucking noise yes Sybil we heard it We hear it that reminds us

This is very different but Joel and I went to dinner the other night And we absolutely devoured We had a salad we ate all of it there was Maybe a couple little you know know pieces of parmesan you know wide guys on the bowl like the bowl is empty and and like we and we had like pushed it away and our server comes around he goes guys are done with this i was like yeah there's nothing to not be done with it's like a very polite server thing but it really made me laugh when he left i was like what could we possibly have still wanted from that bowl that's really funny anyway yeah and he comes and he starts stabbing his huge knife through this door it's so big that even when they're pressed on the

other side of the room like squeezed up against the other side it's like still almost at their faces it's almost reaching them and he's swinging it back and forth and each time he stabs through this door he's making a bigger hole and eventually the little cockroaches are able to fit through so they're now crawling at him and then eventually he's able to stick his arm through and he's reaching to try to open it from the inside sybil seems like empties out what must be the last of her bullets into his arm which i'm going sybil we need to save those until we got a headshot his arm's not gonna do shit but she shoots him in the arm a bunch of times and it does make him pull his arm out and stop for a second and luckily in that moment it the they start disintegrating it starts becoming

light again oh it's daytime it just ends again yeah just don't know the rules of when it's real unfortunate yeah so that that can just happen yeah at seemingly any time uh but at least now sybil is you know on on board with teaming up with rose we're we're we trust each other now and so they start heading to oh rose shows her the thing she pulled out of the guy's mouth the clue which says something about the hotel and she's like we need to find this hotel that's where my daughter's gonna be so now they says something about the hotel. And she's like, we need to find this hotel. That's where my daughter's going to be. So now they, they go to the hotel and in the hotel, they see the old lady, the, uh, Dahlia character and a younger girl throwing rocks at her and basically call, like calling her a witch and being really rude to her be really rude to her it's really rude and they pull her off this woman's name is anna and it's clear that anna is also

a resident of silent hill and we're like what are these people kind of coming out of nowhere she looks all dirty and ashy also and so i don't know how many people are here but she is also you know not giving them straight answers about things they're asking do you know have you seen my daughter have you seen my daughter and anna says if your daughter has faith, she might survive. So we're getting some religious tones here that maybe this town was a quite religious community, which didn't seem to help them at all. No, it sure doesn't. But so they find one of Sharon's drawings in the mailbox for room 111 and decide they have to go there. Meanwhile, we see Sean Bean is trying to find records from the adoption place where he adopted Sharon to try to see if he can find out any more information because he knows something's going on.

Like, is she perhaps a middle-aged woman perhaps yeah a little orphan vibes and he finds a file of alessa gillespie somehow i think maybe maybe he's looking at files of silent hill actually and but either way he finds this file of alessa gillespie who we know know is is had the desk in the school in Silent Hill. And Alessa Gillespie is the spitting image of Sharon. But again, I think they were she was born in 1974. So what the heck is going on? So what the heck?

So what the freaking heck? so what the heck is going on so what the heck so what the freaking heck we go back to room 111 now where rose finds alessa and alessa also looks like a little puppet from the dark crystal covered in ash with like little bangs jutting out at a crazy angle and uh rose is not she knows that this isn't sharon but she's very very shocked that it's basically her twin you could just you could be just like her like what's going on are you okay and alessa turns to her holds her arms out and says look at me i'm burning and bursts into flames and then and then disappears we see that anna has followed them and so rose kind of went off and found her herself but then comes out of whatever room 111 back to sybil and anna and says i think i just saw dahlia's daughter alessa and anna says we don't say that name.

We don't use her name. A Voldemort situation. A little Voldemort situation. And Rose kind of is like furrowing her brow. And she says, I think something really bad happened here. And now we're 10 minutes into the movie. We're in a hellscape And there's a child

Whose name we don't utter I think something really bad happened here I think you're onto something, Rose I'm finding clues in Decayed men's mouths There's a big pyramid monster Seems pretty bad I think something really bad happened here I think something really bad happened here.

I think so. Really bad happened here. And just then, a bunch of birds fly out of the house, which the townspeople, a.k.a. Anna, seems to know that that means the darkness is coming. And she says, we've got to get to the church. It's the only safe place when the darkness comes. So they're running. and as they're running

all these other towns people are appearing out of the fog and also running towards the church like everyone is running for safety as the sirens start blaring man why wouldn't you just live at the church great question why risk it seems like this happens like pretty frequently yeah what is this like every 15 minutes it It's just a lot. Stay at the church. Just stay there. How could you possibly have time to get anything done in between? Yeah, and what are you doing in these weird little fucking abandoned shops?

There's nothing to do here. Nobody's shopping. No. Okay, well. Yeah, I've got a lot of questions. But Dahlia, they see Dahlia on the church steps. Basically, she warns them, don't go in there with them. They're all evil. And she seems more afraid of going into the church than staying out

of the church. And Rose drops and is talking to her and is saying, I saw your daughter. I saw Alessa. She's been, she's been leading us here. And Anna is calling out like, come on, you have to come inside. You have to come inside. But it's too late. Darkness falls. It's pitch black. And as the light comes up, Rose and Sybil do make it inside of the church. But as they're beckoning to Anna to come, we see Pyramid Head is right behind her. Picks her up like a little ant because he's much bigger than her. I guess not. Like he's like three times the size of a regular person. Picks her up.

She's dangling in the air. He rips all her clothes off and then grabs her chest and like yanks all of her skin off. Essentially skins her in one fell swoop oh no real gnarly so anna's anna's done but they make it inside the church they close the doors and it does seem that it is not the dahlia too not dahlia but dahlia seemed not scared she didn't want to come into the church right right okay yeah yeah so rose and sybil turn and face everyone in the church now they're all looking at them and they all the townspeople immediately start screaming at them that they're witches and i'm feeling confused by timelines here because normally you know a witch a witch hunt time would have been the 1400s this town burned in 1974 so this

is 30 years ago um but it seems that they're kind of a religious cult type thing and they are led by christabella she oh christabella christabella and this, Christabella. Christabella. And this actress was great. I really liked Christabella. She was looking really evil. And that was actually one of the trivias I saw was that she was so commanding as an actor that everyone always did what she said to do. And I was like, that's a really weird trivia. Because I feel like that's kind of probably what they were supposed to do anyways because they're acting right they don't they do what the script says yeah yeah so anyways christabel is kind of the leader of this religious cult and she tells Rose that if she wants her daughter back, she will have to face the demon and that she hopes her faith is strong because no one's ever faced the demon and come come back from it.

OK, we see another scene of Sean Bean getting caught with the files by the same policeman uh officer gucci and he recognized because he's from this town and he sees the photo of alessa and he says what those fanatics did to her was terrible this is like awful awful thing and sean bean's trying to piece together what the fuck, like, who is she and where's my daughter? But we go back to the church and Christabella is about to lead Rose and Sybil to basically the entrance of where the demon is. It's in the in the bowels of one of the buildings in the bowels of the building. of the building but before she does she sees the locket with the photo of sharon and she is like witch witch kill her kill them both like they're witches okay so this is why dolly didn't want to go yes and uh sybil is able to fight them off and give Rose The chance to take the Pathway down to where They were telling her to go it's basically

An elevator that drops way way way Down kind of so Christabel is kind of the town bitch Christabel is the town bitch that's right It's exactly right okay and Like Marcia Gay Harden She's great she's really she really fucking kills it Takes a lot to be the town bitch.

It does. You gotta respect it. And I do. So Rose makes it to the bottom of, it looks like an abandoned mineshaft type of thing. And as she gets there, there's about 20 or so monstrous looking nurses they look almost like statues they have little the little caps over their faces you can't see faces they look almost like

you know what they look like is the bodies in west world before they become something like they have basically mannequins in the in the basement type of thing okay yeah yeah yeah so these look kind of like mannequins and someone has given her a flashlight at this point and they say they'll be attracted to the light but you won't be able to see anything otherwise and so she's shining the flashlight on them and they all animate and seem to come to life and start running towards her and she turns the light off and they stop and so she realizes she has to make it past them in complete darkness it's light enough so that we can kind of see what's happening but sure sure she's making her way through this group of evil nurses with knives all of them have knives in their hands and she's

ducking through them and they're sensing that someone's there and just slashing wildly in the darkness and so they're mostly killing each other and stabbing each other but it's just her moving through that's pretty funny yeah because they can't see either and so uh she makes it through them and arrives in what looks like a hospital room and the screen turns totally white and we hear sharon's voice or rather alessa's voice saying you did it and your reward is the truth and we get a little she is a witch to um her her childhood back at the school we see her being taunted by the other kids calling her a witch and she says the other kids taunted me because i didn't have a dad like they did. And so I guess she was. Oh, God. Bullied.

And because she was born out of wedlock and her mom never said who the father was. And so they called her a witch. She's like sort of January Jones in this world. Her mom. Is that a Mad Men? I didn't watch Mad Men. I don't know. No, it's January Jones.

Nobody knows who the father of her child is. Oh, the actress January Jones. The actress January Jones. Yes, yes, yes. Exactly. And we all are dying to know who it is. We're on the edge of our seats. When is she going to tell us? And until she does, I'm going to assume her child is a witch. That's right. And Alessa runs from the kids that are bullying her into the bathroom and is crying in the bathroom like we saw earlier. And we see the janitor in the bathroom give her a very bad look. And in Alessa's VO, she says something like, and you know what happens to kids or you know that kids are at risk or something.

Little girls that are find themselves all alone or you know that kids are at risk or something little girls that are find themselves all alone or something like that and it doesn't show anything but there is an implied sexual assault by this janitor and this kid is like eight i think she's probably like 12 but it's yeah so eight so eight exactly all kids are eight and her mom we see her mom um finding her after this and it seems like alessa confides in in dahlia is her mom and dahlia is hugging her and holding her and goes to christabella and i think tells them you know this horrible thing has happened to my daughter. And Christabella says she needs to be purified. Like what's happened to her is a sin.

And so we need to purify her. And Dahlia agrees to this because we think to, I don't know, do something good for her daughter's soul and wants to purify her. But baby, purifying is not going to be a nice thing. We're not talking about a little, um, little cross around or little like, that's nothing nice. little cross around or little like yeah it's nothing nice um and it's genuine genuinely very horrifying they put alessa on a ladder a long ladder that they elevate like five feet above a bed of coals like burning coals and so they're just slowly cooking her she's like a pig on a spit type of thing and she's screaming in pain and her skit she's like burning alive but it's so fucking awful and dahlia runs to go get officer gucci to try to stop this but by the time she gets back alessa is burned to a fucking crisp her skin is all

like black charred oh god and the coals fall something snaps and she knocks alessa falls and her falling knocks the coals over and lights the whole church on fire and so that's what started the fire that um is still burning to this day shouldn't have cooked a kid shouldn't have cooked a kid that's where you went wrong yeah and in this vo alessa explains that her rage split her soul apart we see officer gucci and dahlia taking alessa's body she's still alive and just like in excruciating pain and they take her to the nurses who try to help her but there's just not much that they can do but she is still alive and i think that's why all the nurses are like in the scary part too because nurses would have been a very scary thing for this little girl who seems to be kind of creating this world and uh she says that that's where i came in i promised her that they would all fall into her darkest dream and so basically we have original alessa who in this pain and rage split into

alessa and dark alessa who is the little kind of ghosty girl that's been running around who's perhaps the demon uh trying to get revenge on all the people. Created this bad place. Yes. Trying to get revenge on all the people that hurt Alessa. And then this is where I'm really confused. And somebody probably knows. But I don't understand if Sharon is her daughter. If she was like raped and that.

Because it's like. Oh, God. is her daughter if she was like raped and that because it's like oh god it's like um they describe it as sharon is the only what's that's what's left of her goodness the only thing left of her goodness and we tried to save her and it shows them like putting the baby in the orphanage but again this was 1974 this math doesn't add up i was just very confused by this huh i think it could also just be like a part of her soul that came later i don't know but i sure however the timeline works basically there's now three versions alessa dark alessa and sharon which is the goodness in alessa got it and dark alessa says to rose all we want is revenge and then you can have

your daughter back and she's like okay fine yeah i'm down to fucking yeah sure whatever you bad things need to happen to these people i'm on board and so yeah basically dark alessa enters rose's body kind of absorbs into her and she says you know i'm not allowed into the church they won't let i won't be able to get in there but you can and basically i can go in with you and so rose goes back to the church or no first we see back the church they have found sharon and they have sybil and sharon each tied to their own ladder so they're planning to burn oh my god they've learned nothing They're doing the same shit again same old mistakes And Christabella is yelling out

Those who aid the demon must be cleansed By fire and the witch must be Burned and All this you know same old shit And they Unfortunately do burn Sybil alive Oh that's really unfortunate Yeah, and it's pretty gross

Her skin like bubbles and blisters And she dies and it's sad And Rose comes in right after this And sees what they have just done And she's screaming at them And calling Christabella a murderer You guys are the true sinners Like can't you see that what you are doing is the true sin and Christabella is using

your fear to manipulate you, but you guys are actually the evil ones. And we see some kind of doubt across the faces of the other members of the church, but Christabella's control is strong She's such a compelling actor That we can't fully Disown her And Christabella Stabs Rose In the chest Rose falls down to her

Knees and so Much blood is like spraying Out of this wound it almost looks like she's like Vomiting blood Projectile like it's almost looks like she's like vomiting blood projectile like it's just absolutely gushing and like monty python yes it's like and as the blood hits the ground it starts turning into the the dark place again the the ground does the same effect that it has each time the siren has come on where it starts kind of decaying because she has the

demon in her and Christabella says you brought the darkness in with you and they all start freaking out but it's too late and now this world is turning into the third dark dimension and from the depths the bowels of the building comes Alessa's

hospital bed with her still burned body in it and all this barbed wire around her she looks like dr octopus in spider-man where she's controlling the barbed wire and it's using to lift her up and she shoots barbed wires out at all of the little cult people oops and goes for christabella first and is wrapping barbed wire around her wrists and shoots barbed wire through her vertically so that she gets her ripped apart hot dog style wow and then uh you know makes pretty Wowee And then You know makes pretty quick work Out of everyone else in there We get some nice violent

Deaths of just wrapping barbed wire Around people like popping them like balloons Slash slashing them Dark Alessa is There dancing in their blood Little sprays looking gleeful Rose is able to untie sharon and they are not being you know targeted by the barbed wire they're being sure protected and in this time

dahlia has come inside to see all what all what all the fuss is about was hey what's going on in here you guys and sees alessa and is pretty horrified um but it's still her daughter and so she just looks like heartbroken and she is also spared and she doesn't understand why and she says that to rose at one point she says why did she spare me? Because basically, Alessa kills everybody but them and then goes back, goes back down. And Rose says, Mother is God in the eyes of a child. Interesting, interesting line. They say that a couple of times. So it seemed important.

I wanted to shout it out. Mother is God in the eyes of a child. I think there's a message of them having faith in each other as humans rather than God. And there's a point at which Christabella had said to Rose, you know, if you have faith in God. And Rose says, Mother is God. Rose says, I have faith in my daughter. And so they're just placing their faith in things other than God. And maybe that that is just as strong and just as powerful. So I think that's the message that we're trying to get there.

Got it. So after this, seems like everything's okay. I mean, nothing's okay, but. But Alessa goes back down. It seems maybe her soul has found some peace. Sharon is allowed to leave with Rose. Dahlia stays and Rose and Alessa, excuse me, Rose and Sharon get back in the car and are able to start it again um it didn't like flip or anything it just wasn't starting before so we assumed it was dead but maybe it could have been maybe it wasn't and maybe now they've just you know just needed some some faith they start driving and we remember there's the the cliff's edge at

the end of the road and it's still there. And they just drive right over it. But the car does not fall. It continues on and makes it carried by their faith now, makes it to the other side of the road. And they're able to drive back into town, back out of Silent Hill and into back back towards their home and we see sean bean at home looking distraught doesn't know where else to go now like what else to do to find his wife and child they're on the way home to him i think Rose even calls on her cell phone, but Sean Bean picks up the phone and it's just staticky. He can't hear what she's saying. And they arrive home and open the

door. And it's still very foggy and ashy. And we cut to see Sean Bean looking at the door opening and it's sunny where he is and normal. And that's the end of the movie. Wow. Still in different dimensions. Interesting. And that's where we get Silent Hill 2 and 3.

Whee! But yeah, people apparently really hate the sequel movies, but there is another one coming that's maybe going to be a little bit better because it's directed again by this original director huh but it seems like this one wasn't very well reviewed true but i feel like the other ones were really badly reviewed so i don't know yeah we won't get our hopes too high but it could be fun the new one is coming next year in 2024 and it is called return to silent hill i don't know we'll see very interesting so sean bean didn't die he didn't die he made it and

you know what's so funny how about that and? And spoiler alert for Possessor, if you haven't seen it, Sean Bean doesn't die in that one either. So the two horror movies we think people are most likely to die that Sean Bean is in that we have covered, he survives. I mean, does he literally, again, okay, so spoiler alert for things that have very much been out for ever a long time. The first being Lord of the Rings, the second being Game of Thrones. Are those the only two things he does die in? No, there's more. I'm sure if we Googled. There's more.

Also, those are just real big ones. You know, those are some hefty, hefty deaths. Yeah. How many things does Sean Bean have? Sean Bean has died in 24 Separate films and TV shows Okay so yeah A quarter of his on screen

Only 25% but that still feels Like a lot It's a lot and this is funny This is saying from stabbing to shooting To death via cow When did he die via cow I don't want to look it up Because it will be a spoiler to death via cow. When did he die via cow? I don't want to look it up because it'll be a spoiler and one day I'll see it and it'll be delightful.

Gotta love Sean Bean, man. Yeah, he's great. But yeah, I mean, I enjoyed this movie. It does very much feel like a video game and I feel like it could have been shorter. That would have been preferable for me it just felt quite long but I thought Radha Mitchell was really good in it love Sean Bean loved whoever played Christabella she's incredible patrons thank you for choosing it thank you for

this I don't it's not like a fun one but it wasn't the worst one we've ever done do you feel not as bad as so between a six and a seven it's a six point five exactly um it doesn't make you feel as bad as the mist right no no a few things have because alessa got her revenge in the end it's a happy ending yeah except for that they're stuck in an alternate dimension that part's tough and i mean i guess one interpretation of it is that they are dead that they died in the car accident in the beginning and so did oh sure and that maybe uh you know everybody in the town died in the fire and so this is just literal hell hell and uh when rose ran from sybil her she got in a motorcycle accident also so that was possible she died then so they might all be dead yeah but it's they might all be dead it's a little

ambiguous yeah but yeah i really hope the afterlife's not like this no i don't want that suck no no it'd be so bad okay silent hill we did it we did it and yeah um just trying to figure out my thoughts about video game movies in general i haven't seen any of the resident evil ones but they definitely have a different feel to them that feels a little less i don't know it's i think it's a it's a trick a tricky thing to pull off well yeah and i think it is better suited to a tv show for obvious reasons that it can be like a video game is so long like silent hill is probably an incredibly long video game and so even though two hours is a really long movie it's all yeah it's just like i'm i'm i'm bored and also confused because i know there's so much there's just too much happening yeah that said uh from a from a between a six and a seven it's a 6.5 for me amazing amazing and yeah well there

we go there's not really any voices in it well that's just fine she does have kind of a creepy little child voice as she's doing her vo alessa she's not your child she's her child. So I'll do a little creepy child voice and say, from all of us here at Too Scary Didn't Watch, goodbye. Goodbye. Hi, everybody.
