This is Emily, Henley, and Sammy, and you're listening to Too Scary, 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'm too scared to watch scary
movies.
I'm Henley, and I'm also too scared to watch scary movies.
I'm Sammy, and I like watching scary movies, and I usually watch them so that you don't have to.
But not today, baby.
Not today, baby.
Not today.
Baby, not today. Not today.
But before we get into all of that stuff, what's up with us?
Oh, boy, you guys, I went to a comedy show this week.
What the fuck?
You did?
And it was so weird to be.
It was an outdoor comedy show.
And they had said on the invitation, like, please, everyone still wear masks.
Nobody wore masks.
Oh, my God.
Not a single person.
everyone still wear masks nobody wore masks oh my god not a single person everyone there was they all looked like 16 but i'm pretty sure they were all in their 20s which is even weirder
um and it was just me and jenna the oldest women there why did you go what how did this even
happen where yeah what was the origin of this um one? One of Jenna's customers was doing stand-up there.
And so...
Okay.
And she was so funny.
I can't remember her name now.
God damn it.
But Meg Stalter was also doing stand-up.
Oh, hell yeah.
Meg Stalter was there?
Yeah.
I love her.
She's so fucking funny oh my god
but it was so weird that it's like
getting to be time where you can
pretty safely just be
in a space with strangers it's all up close
and personal again really weird
it's really weird
did it feel kind of like back to normal
at all did you feel a little
semblance of 2019 a little bit
did it feel like 2019 did it feel like 2019
did it feel like 2019 remember that year it did a little bit but except that i have the added
anxious reflex of putting a mask on now like it just after a while of not wearing it i just
started feeling like where's my mask i gotta put my mask on and I'm not even sure that it is related to being
afraid of getting COVID I think it's I told was telling you guys already my mask has just become
like my blankie like a security thing that I just need for to feel like comfortable interesting do
you think what would you do you think you'd have a different reaction if you'd been with someone
who wasn't Jenna who was not wearing a mask if you'd been with someone who wasn't Jenna, who was not wearing a mask?
If you'd been the only one who'd been like wanting to wear a mask?
Do you know what I mean?
I still would have had the impulse and I think I probably wouldn't have done it.
No, I probably wouldn't have put it on because I would have felt like I'm not going to be the only loser without a mask.
I need a buddy loser.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's the weird thing about all of this is like the peer pressure aspect of it or the like
being part of the crowd aspect of it um yeah we've talked about this a little bit but
in my neighborhood in new york um you know it's been a couple weeks now i guess since the cdc
announced that you could not wear masks outside if you wanted to.
And now they've announced you cannot wear masks inside,
which I think is causing like mass confusion for a lot of people.
But in my neighborhood in New York,
like 99% of people are still wearing masks outside,
like 100% of the time.
And I, I'm honestly like, you know, I don't know if this is a controversial
topic, but like I'm a little frustrated by it because I'm like, you want to go back.
The CDC says we don't have to wear masks like I'm if I was having a conversation with someone
outside like that, I didn't really know that. Well, I would put a mask on like if I was in a
close quarters with a bunch of people outside, I would put a mask on. Like if I was in a close quarters with a bunch of people outside,
I would put a mask on. But like we're spread out. I'm just walking down the sidewalk. No one is near
me. Like, yeah, I feel like I should be able to take my mask off at this point, but I'm still not
because I don't want to be the one asshole in my neighborhood not wearing a mask.
Literally everybody in your neighborhood feels exactly the same way yeah that's the crazy thing is i bet we all are like
fuck why won't anybody take their mask off and so we're all just silently seething like when
will it be normal yeah because i really don't want to be the outlier i don't want to be the
one person nobody does nobody does um who looks like
they don't give a shit you know yeah yeah it's weird it like outside i feel like especially
when you i mean we're you're vaccinated so there's that but like outside for sure
and i know they also said inside and i i've been it's so complicated because like if you're
vaccinated yeah you're like you're good.
But nobody knows who's vaccinated and who's not.
And I was talking to my sister who has a one and a half year old. And she was like, well, now it just means there are less places I can go again because he's not vaccinated.
Obviously, he's one and a half.
And so entering a public space, not outside is different, but like entering a public space where people don't have to be masked.
It's like only, you know, if you're doing if you're vaccinated or unvaccinated. But
with her and her child, she doesn't know who in there is just an unvaccinated asshole
and who is a vaccinated person not wearing a mask. So then all these spaces become unsafe
feeling again. And it was a layer of that I hadn't really considered. Right. That I was like, oh,
shit. Yeah, that sucks. Like now you can't go places again because
there will be unvaccinated i've just been like oh if you're unvaccinated that's your choice but
like then there are people who can't be vaccinated for whatever reason and now they can't go places
because they don't know who's an asshole and who's not and yeah and they also are speaking
about the fact that you could you know go maskless inside as an incentive to get vaccinated as like, oh, well, now you have an additional reason to get vaccinated because it means you can go maskless inside.
And it's like, that's great, except the honor people lie.
Like they're not checking. So what they're really saying is anyone can go maskless inside.
And that is like, yeah, if you're an adult who's vaccinated
or not and you've made your choice that's one thing but there are like people who who can't be
and now they are at risk again in a way that they maybe haven't been you know it's just it's hard
and we're still in it and it's getting a lot better but we're so like in an active pandemic and
it's like really it's like really complicated.
I know. I know.
It's wild. It would be less so if we had like any sense of
doing things out of compassion
for others and not out of like
personal convenience or
not. We don't know. Maybe that's not
the American way. I know. It's just like not
culture at all. And so like
why would it be now? Of course it's not um yeah yeah individual freedom individual freedom that's all i care about
that's all i care about let me do whatever the fuck i want i don't care how it makes you feel
i don't care being selfish is good it's a good thing um uh Do I have anything interesting to say about my week?
Let's think about that.
I really don't.
But, you know, I will talk about a TV show I've been watching because why not?
Because why the hell not?
Have you guys heard of Zero Zero Zero?
Yes.
No.
Andrea Ricebro, right?
Uh-huh.
Yes.
Our favorite person.
Well, not our favorite.
That's Toni Collette, but...
Oh, right.
She's up there.
She's up there.
It's...
Yeah, no.
It's on Amazon Prime.
I guess it's a limited series, which I didn't realize until I'm like six episodes in and now I'm very disappointed. I thought it was going to be. Also, side note, they're making so many limited series these days and it's fucking annoying. I'm like, I want I want to I want to be able to get into a show and have multiple seasons of the show.
I feel like that's like how they get bigger movie stars to do it because it's like, well, it's just a season.
that's like how they get bigger movie stars to do it because it's like well it's just a season right exactly but then it's disappointing for the viewers um and i feel like the limited series i've
seen to have been better than basically other shows that are trying to be multiple seasons too
so it's doubly frustrating anyway it's limited series it's on amazon. It's about the cocaine trade. And they they track it through Italy, Mexico and the United States.
And it's like basically different storylines in each of those locations.
And it is fucked up.
It is dark as hell.
And but it's beautifully shot and really, really well done.
shot and really really well done um the guy who directed it also did made the gamora the tv show um zero zero zero do you guys know about the book gamora no have you heard of this um so it's a guy
who like infiltrated the italian mob um who helps who were part of the cocaine trade and wrote uh
like a huge expose um book about it and then has now been targeted by the italian mob for doing so
obviously and has been in hiding for the past 10 years. And then he wrote another book called 000,
which is what this TV show is based off of.
Anyway, highly recommend.
It's very good.
It's pretty fucked up, really fucked up,
but it's really, really entertaining.
But I did watch, I saw my mom this past weekend
and she just watched like the first 15 minutes of one of the episodes with me and Tim.
And she after 15 minutes, she was like, just make drugs legal.
And I was like, I just need to show this.
We just show this show to everyone.
Maybe we'll turn the tides.
You see how much damage it causes.
Cats out of the bag on this one, guys.
Like where there's nothing we can do about it. We better just make drugs legal. Cat's out of the bag on this one, guys.
There's nothing we can do about it.
We better just make drugs legal.
That's the only option we have.
Do you criminalize it, baby?
Mm-hmm.
That's all I have to say about my week.
I'm going to check that out.
Yeah, Sammy, I think you'll like it. It's been on my list, but there's just so much TV, man.
I get really overwhelmed. There's so much TV. think you'll like it. It's been on my list, but there's just so much TV, man. I get really overwhelmed.
There's so much TV.
But I will watch it.
There's so much TV, but also every time I sit down to watch TV, I'm like, I don't know what to watch.
Yeah, same.
Yes, 100%.
It's because it's too much choice.
It's overwhelming.
And it's daunting.
Yeah, it's just, yeah.
I'm on the same boat.
Same boat.
Same vessel.
Same vessel. Same vessel.
I had the most eventful week of the past 14 months.
I went to a wedding.
Yeah.
I went to a wedding.
It looked so fun.
And it was amazing.
It was amazing.
It was just a weekend with friends.
We all stayed at the same hotel.
It was only wedding guests at this hotel.
It was like all outside in Palm Springs.
Everyone was vaccinated.
It was like a dream thing.
It was like I can't believe it happened and that we were able to do it.
And I saw friends and had a party.
It was so crazy. It was like, so it was so crazy.
It was so fun.
It was so fun.
And,
and my friends who got married are just so lovely and so in love.
And it just was like,
really one of those weddings.
You just like,
feel so good about,
you know,
like everyone just feels so good to be there.
And like,
man,
it was,
it was so cool.
It was so cool.
That's a very nice like first step
step out truly
more normal
life of just like ah love
love exists
love exists they like
made it through this year and they did
they got to have their wedding and we're all here
for them and like yeah
it was so also like I guess the only way to travel now is to just be in a hotel with only your friends.
It was so cool to just leave your room in the morning to go get coffee and just see your friends walking out of their rooms and just say, oh, good morning.
And walk to a pool.
Who's hanging out at this pool?
Oh, it's my friends.
Oh, who's hanging out over there?
Oh, it's my friends.
Like, it's just, man, it was ideal. It was ideal. And then my parents came out to visit. I hadn't seen them in a year and a half. And then I saw my parents. Wow. It's like, oh, I guess, I guess life is just back on. Like, on the one hand, it's, we're still, you know, like we were just saying, you gotta
be careful and we need to be considerate of others and there's all this stuff.
But on the other hand, it's like, we can do things again, kind of.
And I just can't believe, I just can't believe, I just can't believe it.
It's really weird.
It's really weird.
Like, not, it's not coming naturally to me yet.
Like, I'm still feeling like, oh, well like oh well the weekend like i'm staying home
and then i'm like wait should i do something should i like try to see something that i haven't
seen like i have the option the option option getting well i timed this perfectly you guys
because i'm about to have a baby and i'm just gonna be self-quarantined for another however long it's going to last.
So I am not.
Well, Tim and I are going to do our best to reemerge into the world.
But like, it's going to be a strange transition.
Well, baby's got antibodies and that is fucking cool.
Yeah, the baby has antibodies.
That's huge.
That's really cool.
And also, wait, Emily, we should just shout out that you made your dress for this wedding which is so impressive yeah
it looked so beautiful you looked so great in it so much she's so talented
thank you she really is i guess this the wedding was like a 60s 60s theme yes it was like 60s
Palm Springs
my inspiration was Megan Draper
the blue dress from the airport if
anybody recalls it's a very good dress
and that was my inspiration point I mean
it's like a good and a bad thing because
I'm already like so specific
and care so deeply about
aesthetics that now that I can make things
I'm I like you know I now that I can make things I'm I like
you know I was like I can pick
fabric I can pick the print I can pick exactly
what it looks like I can make it exactly what I want so it's like
in a way maybe not so healthy for my brain
to be like everything's in my hands
but it was super
fun and it and yeah the cool thing is
I got to wear exactly what I wanted
and it was super fun yeah that's awesome
so cool it was great and it was super fun. Yeah, that's awesome.
So cool.
It was great. And it was great to see my parents surreal, just like, I mean,
it's, you know,
we can do those things.
It's crazy. We've
made it in that respect.
And that's something
to celebrate.
Something else to celebrate
is that I watched the movie this
week i it's a movie i've i had already seen um which is why i picked it i didn't have to watch
a new scary thing um it's the guest um it's honestly not that scary though when i watched
it the first time i I was definitely scared.
I was definitely scared.
It's creepy.
Yeah.
When did you watch it the first time?
In the past year, I think.
I think in the pandemic, at least.
So it came out in 2014.
It is directed by Adam Wingard.
It's written by Simon Barrett, and it stars Dan Stevens.
Dan Stevens!
You know I love him!
Micah Munro, Brendan Meyer, Sheila Kelly, Leland Orser, Lance Reddick, and Tabitha
Shawn.
And Lance Reddick also in the John Wick franchise.
Excuse me.
I love Lance Reddick.
Excuse me. He's from The Wire
He's so fucking good
I think of him first
As being from the John Wick franchise
It's important
It's important he's great he's fucking great
Um
It's great it's like uh it's listed as a horror
Thriller it feels more like a thriller
Um
But I just wanted to do it on this podcast so I could talk about how good Dan Stevens looks in this movie.
That is almost all I'm going to talk about.
I'll try to tell you the plot, but I might get distracted.
I have seen this movie and I saw it in theaters and it was the first thing I ever saw Dan Stevens in.
And so I was like
damn this guy's so hot and then I was very
confused when I like saw shots of him in
Downton Abbey. I was like wait wait wait.
This is that same guy? We literally
it's crazy. It is so crazy because you know
I love Dan Stevens. I love him no matter what. I love him in anything.
I think he's a very beautiful man
but he's not like hot. Like Dan
Stevens as a
he's like a huge dork.
If you see what he wears in the world, you're like, what is this guy doing?
Like, who is this man?
He's so weird.
He's an incredible actor. But in this movie, this is a phrase that Joel said today that I was like, that's correct.
Because I was like, he's hotter in this movie than he is.
Like he, so he transcends, this is is. So he transcends
this is the line, he transcends himself
in this
movie.
It is crazy
how hot he is in this movie.
It's crazy.
This is kind of reminding me
how I feel about Cillian Murphy.
That's who I'm talking about, right?
Could be.
I'm going to need more information, but Could be. Sure, it could be.
I'm going to need more information,
but I'm going to say it could be.
I feel like when you see pictures of him like out in the real world,
you're like, oh, nope.
We talked about this a little bit
on our 28 Days Later episode.
He's like such a specific type of hotness.
I think he's incredibly hot all the time.
I see pictures of him out on the
street and I want
to be married to him walking
next to him on that street. You're still down.
I would like to be on that. I see him on the street. I would like to be on that
street. He just has
a very strong
swagger and peaky blinders
that it's not translated
in the street style photos that I'm seeing.
He's wearing like cargo shorts
and has like tiny little white
legs and is like
he's like such a little theater dork
and then he really
comes to life in Peaky Blinders
anyway. It's like that
Henley but it's different because
because it's
not swagger. It's not the character.
It's like physically he looks perfect in this movie.
And I, like.
What is that?
Is it, like, the haircut?
Is it the.
Everything.
It's.
His.
He's got a slamming bod.
His haircut is good.
I think it's also.
It's, like.
I'll get to some of the trivia.
They, like, wanted to make him, like.
Like, oh, my.
Like, you're, like, blinded by how hot he is.
And so, it's also, like. It's the way you're like blinded by how hot he is. And so it's also like,
it's the way he's lit.
It's the way he's shot.
It's like,
everything is going to making you be like,
oh my God.
Also again,
like he's beautiful.
You know,
I love him.
I do love him,
but it just is like,
he's not this hot,
but in this movie he is.
I'm excited to watch the trailer for this then.
Cause I have no point of reference.
It's so crazy.
And I knew it. And then I rewatched this movie
and in two seconds I was like, what the fuck?
He's so hot.
Oh man, I've already talked about
this too much, but I'm going to talk about it more.
So
okay, this movie has
a 91% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Wow. A 6.7% on
IMDb. That's about standard.
That's normal. All of them do.
And a 76% on Metacritic.
The budget,
it was about $5 million.
And the cumulative worldwide
gross was $2,700,000.
So they lost money
on it. Ouch, ouch, ouch. Ouch, ouch, ouch. Ouch So they lost money on it.
Ouch, ouch, ouch.
Ouch, ouch, ouch.
Ouch, ouch, ouch.
And, and, and, and.
Oh, sometimes you just
gotta do grape, lady.

Cheers.
Should we do some trivia?
Should we do some trivia for this movie?
Okay.
So here is the trivia that I found.
This one is interesting.
I don't really know what it means But the film is intentionally structured
As a horror film with the pace
Of a thriller
It's like okay
I don't understand
I don't know but okay
In most of his
Close ups Dan Stevens
Doesn't blink
This is to emphasize the strange
Unsettling aspect of David. And it's true.
It is. This movie is so cool
because like
nothing much creepy
really happens for a while.
Like nothing scary really happens, but you are
a meat. I mean, there's some moments
where it's like that's in your face. Like he's weird.
But like Bate, when he's
introduced, he's like being very friendly
and like, but it's just there is something about him
That you're like what is this guy's deal
And I think it is that like staring
He just like stares
And it's beautifully
Beautifully so
Okay
This is the text of paragraph
On IMDB for this next trivia is like
My whole phone so I'm not gonna read
All of it but it is very funny.
Okay. Dan Stevens
was completely emaciated when
he first met with filmmakers Adam Wingard
and Simon Barrett because he had lost
30 pounds to star in A Walk Among the
Tombstones. They really wanted
him for the role, but were worried about his appearance
because they wanted a really buff
soldier physique for the lead character.
Wingard said that Stevens looked like Christian Bale in The Machinist,
but they wanted him to look like Christian Bale in Batman Begins.
Either way, he has to look like Christian Bale.
But they gave him the role after Stevens promised that he would work out and bulk up.
He worked out daily for two hours a day, even during shooting, eventually putting on 25 pounds of muscle.
Two hours a day seems like...
I mean, I guess...
I guess every day would be a lot.
I guess that would be a lot.
I feel like when you're trying to...
When it's your job, I feel like...
Wouldn't you be doing it more?
Wouldn't you be doing it more?
Well, I guess this was like during shooting, too.
Okay, okay. I guess that's a lot? Well, I guess this was like during shooting too Okay, okay
I guess that's a lot
Hey, I exercise zero hours a day
I think it's a lot if you're doing the right things
If you have a trainer
Yeah, that's true
Yeah
Yeah, so and apparently
That in some
He was like training as they were
Shooting the movie, so in some scenes He is really buff and in some, he was like training as they were shooting the movie.
So in some scenes,
he is really buff
and in some,
he looks like skinnier
because they shot them out of order
and like got the ones
where they needed to really show
how buff he was
like later on in the process.
There's one shirtless scene in particular.
And they really wanted,
this is a quote,
they really wanted to sexually objectify
and fetishize Dan Stevens' shirtless body.
Mission accomplished.
Mission accomplished, man.
Mission accomplished.
Okay, so in that, sorry, in preparation for that scene, Stevens shaved his chest.
He shouldn't have had to shave it, probably.
It's like, maybe they should wax it.
I feel like shaving a chest is crazy.
Is that crazy? I don't know. Shaved his chest. I don't know. Waxing? Have you guys seen 40-year-old virgin waxing? Yeah, it they should wax it. I feel like shaving a chest is crazy. Is that crazy? I don't know.
Shaved his chest. I don't know. Waxing?
Have you guys seen 40-year-old virgin waxing? Yeah, it wouldn't be good.
It wouldn't feel good. It hurts like a motherfucker.
Anyway, so in preparation for that scene,
Stevens shaved his chest and tanned his
body so that all his muscle definition
could be seen. I swear to God, it feels like
I wrote this paragraph, but I didn't. Somebody else did.
In addition, Wingard said that to deepen the muscle definition even further, trainers had Stevens do a trick where he did not consume any food or water for a day.
Cool trick. A trick.
Oh, that little trick, you know.
He drank a Diet Coke and did 100 push-ups and 100 sit-ups.
and did 100 push-ups and 100 sit-ups.
So, listeners, if you want to really look buff,
don't eat for a day,
but then drink a Diet Coke and do 100 push-ups and 100 sit-ups.
That's the trick.
That's the trick for your tool belt.
That's the trick.
That's the trick.
It does remind me,
I feel like I've talked about this to you guys before,
I heard in the Thor movies,
or I guess any of the Avengers,
Chris... Hemsworth. I was like, Prine, Pratt, Evans, no, Hemsworth. Thor movies or I guess any of the Avengers Chris Hebsworth
I was like
Prine, Pratt, Evans, no Hemsworth
would like
eat a handful of just like
gummy bears before any shirtless scene
just to like jack his sugar up so that his veins
would pop out and it's like
crazy
that is all
the trivia I have.
Thank you for letting me read my,
um,
paragraph that I wrote about Dan Stevens's body.
I love it.
And I can't wait to freaking see.
I can't wait to see it with my own eyes.
You're going to see this body.
Um,
so should we watch the freaking trailer?
Let's do it.
Let's watch it.
Can I help you?
Mrs. Peterson?
Yes?
My name is David.
Mrs. Peterson, I, uh...
I knew your son, Caleb.
I was with him when he died.
That's me.
You know Caleb?
Yes, ma'am.
We were pretty close.
Yes, ma'am.
He wanted me to tell you
that he loved you.
Thanks.
He asked me to check on you.
And so...
We're gonna be good friends.
What happened? I got into a fight with some guys at school.
I'll teach him some self defense when he's feeling up to it.
What are you gonna do?
Nothing bad.
For the damages.
Never let anyone pick on you.
Here, you can keep it.
Miss Peterson, are you sure you're comfortable with me staying here?
I think it could be a good thing for us.
You know, I promised Caleb I would do anything I could to help your family.
You know, I promised Caleb I would do anything I could to help your family.
But Frida haven't been here.
I'm really Mrs. Peterson.
It's no problem.
Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.
That little side smile he has.
It's adorable.
It's adorable.
And he's like so British, too.
But his accent is so good in this movie.
And he seems just so American.
He's such a good actor.
He's a really good actor.
He's such a good.
The first thing I saw him in was Legion.
And oh, my God.
I only saw the first season because I heard it got worse.
He's so fucking good in Legion.
Oh, my God.
He's such a good actor.
And I love him. Also, so okay.
I forgot to mention, you can see this. You can view it on
Netflix. At least right now it's on Netflix.
So honestly, I'm gonna
like put the Times signature in
the episode notes of when
he walks shirtless out of that bathroom because
you didn't get enough of it. You didn't get enough
of it. It is really crazy.
And they shoot it like... They shoot it like crazy. You didn't get enough of it. It is really crazy. And they shoot it like they like it.
They shoot it like crazy, like how they shoot women's bodies, where it's just like.
It's like glistening and like slow-mo.
They hold on it.
And like it's with Micah Monroe.
And she's like looking at him.
And she's clearly like flustered.
It's just like.
And he knows it.
And he like stands and is like holding his towel down.
It's like crazy.
And everyone should watch it. So horny. It's so hor down. It's like crazy. And everyone should watch it.
So horny.
It's so horny. It's crazy.
It's so horny.
It's so horny.
You know what's interesting is that
it's called a horror thriller, but that trailer
gives away none of the horror parts of it
to me. It's cool.
It really just seems like a thriller
judging by the
trailer so you know it's interesting i i why would we call it a horror there's a lot there i mean
there's a lot of violence and the end gets like pretty gnarly but it i honestly feel like it is
a thriller i would say yeah um yeah it's on netflix maybe i'll watch it after this i always
say that you can totally handle it it's not it's not too maybe I'll watch it after this I always say that
you can totally handle it it's not too scary
especially knowing what happened like the first time
I watched it I was scared just because
they really make you feel like something bad is
going to happen at any moment but
once you know when the bad stuff
happens it's like very very
chill to watch but be careful
you're going to get horny
oh my god.
Okay, thank you for the warning. I gotta put a little
disclaimer on that for you. I didn't
realize it was the makers of Your Next
either, which we've gotta do at some point.
We've gotta do.
There's some trivia related to
Your Next about the masks
from Your Next are seen in the party
scene. But I haven't seen Your Next
so I was like, I don't know what that means.
Um,
but apparently if you have,
that's fun.
Also,
Adam Wingard just did,
um,
the,
the Godzilla versus Kong movie that I heard that was actually pretty good.
It was good.
I liked it.
I thought it was fun.
Uh,
I mean,
it's exactly what it should be,
which is just Godzilla versus Kong.
Like we're not really trying.
We're not,
that's what we're doing.
And we're just doing that.
And hell yeah.
And so it's fun. It's fun. I love it. Um, we're not really trying. That's what we're doing. And we're just doing that. And hell yeah. And so it's fun.
It's fun.
I love it.
Should we get into this movie?
Let's do it.
Let's do it.

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.

Okay.
So, first shot.
We just are close up on like army boots running on a dirt road.
And we, like, pull back and we see a soldier running.
He's got his backpack, he's in his gear, boots running.
The guest comes on the screen.
Cut to the outside of a house, we see a scarecrow letting us know it's halloween-ish time inside
the house we see the uh dad and like a teenage son 14-ish uh leave for the day they say bye to
their wife or you know the dad's wife interesting it's a pretty interesting movie. They say goodbye to the mom and the wife.
And as sort of as soon as they leave, she goes a little catatonic.
We see her look at a photo that's clearly like an in memoriam photo of a young soldier.
And then she just sort of sits there pretty listless.
It's clear that she's still, you know, really depressed about, we're guessing, the death of her son.
Just then the doorbell rings.
She goes to answer the door and we open it and a gorgeous man turns around.
Ooh, I love that he's not looking.
He's not facing the door.
He turns around.
We get a nice full turn.
Smiles. Miss Miss Peterson my name is
David I knew your son Caleb
we trained together fought together
and came to be good friends
and he's
already just like so
charming and like smiling at
her and she invites him in
she's like a little thrown but is like oh
okay come in.
And he sits under the table with her.
He lets her know he was just discharged and this is the first place he came.
He says, you know, I would have come sooner, but I was in a military hospital.
I was discharged from the army due to injury.
But, you know, it's fine.
It was just strapped on my back.
I'm fine.
And, you know, I would have called to let you know I was coming.
I'm sorry if this is a surprise.
I don't have a cell phone.
And because she asked, she's like, this is the first place you came.
And he's like, yeah, I would have come sooner.
And she says, why?
And he's like, oh, I would have come sooner.
But, you know, I was in a hospital.
And she's like, no, why did you come here?
Like, you literally just showed up here and we're not your family.
And he says, I was with Caleb when he died and he asked me to check on y'all.
He specifically, and he's like making very direct eye contact with her.
It was like, he specifically wanted me to tell each one of you that he loved you and was thinking of you until the end.
And this is a lot for her
she she excuses herself we see her go in the back to like the laundry room and she's just
sobbing um but and and definitely his presence is like a little under it's a little weird that
he's here but she's not like creeped out by him she just this is just a lot to take in
she goes and cries she composesoses herself. She comes back out.
When she comes out, she sees that he's gotten up and he's looking at a photo of a group of soldiers on their mantle.
And he points himself out and he's like, there I am.
He's right next to her son in the photo.
And he apologizes.
He's like, you know, I'm sorry I upset you.
This is all too much. I just, you know, I wanted to come by. And he's like, I'm going to leave. I'll leave you be. And she says, well, no, why don't you stay at least a little bit longer? My daughter works nights, so she's still sleeping, but I know she'd love to meet you.
She's still sleeping, but I know she'd love to meet you.
And he's like, OK, if it's not it's not an inconvenience store, I'll stay a little bit longer.
We cut to the daughter's room.
This is Micah Monroe. We we see her.
She's waking up in bed and she hears like her mom laughing.
And this guy, the noise of people laughing and talking.
And so she comes out.
She's dressed as she's a waitress at a diner.
So she's wearing her little waitress outfit.
We were in New Mexico, by the way.
I don't know if that matters.
Oh, I don't know.
Earlier she asked you, sorry, the mom asked, like, how did you get here?
And he literally, he's like, oh, I ran in from the bus station.
She's like, you ran the whole way?
So they're kind of isolated.
Like, it's clearly not a very big city.
There's like, you know, small town New Mexico, wherever the bus station is in town is a bit of a distance to run to their house.
Yeah.
The daughter, her name is Anna.
She works like a small town diner.
But so she comes out, she sees them laughing on the couch.
I think a little surprised to see her mom like smiling and laughing.
And so she's sort of thrown and asks like who this is,
gets introduced.
Uh,
he calls her ma'am when he,
he meets her and she sort of laughs and I was like,
ma'am,
like thinks this guy's like a cheesy,
weird,
uh,
soldier.
And,
um,
just isn't,
she's not very friendly to him.
She clearly isn't very happy that he's there,
but she's like, okay, well, nice to meet you. I got to go to work. Um, just isn't, she's not very friendly to him. She clearly isn't very happy that he's there, but she's like, okay, well, nice to meet you.
I got to go to work.
Um, so after that, the mom, uh, or she asks like, where, where are you staying?
And he's like, oh, I'll probably, um, you know, I'll, I think I saw a motel six in town.
I'll just, I'll go back into town and I'll get a room there.
And she's like, no, no please stay With us just stay the night
Shouldn't go get a motel you can stay in Caleb's room
Um
And so he
She brings him in and clearly
No one's really gone in this room for a while she like turns the lights
On and sort of tidies up a little bit and
He's pretty quickly like you know
If this if this is weird like I
You know I don't need to stay here I feel like I'm really
Putting you out and she's like no i like you know this room isn't being used and i feel like it
would i feel like it would do us some good like i'm i'm happy you're here i'd like for you to stay
so he's like okay if you're sure um and so she leaves he sits down on the bed uh looking out the window and just sits still, stares
unblinkingly
just like a little statue.
Like the second he's alone, he's
just like,
and it's just so unsettling
and you don't know why. And they never cut to
what he's looking at. It doesn't even matter.
He just like, the second he's not interacting
with a person, he's just like,
shuts off
I don't know why I said it like that
shuts off
shuts off
shuts off
we cut to
the high school where the
brother Luke is
walking down the hall and
you know immediately gets bullied.
A kid pushes him into a locker.
It's like a group of football players, three football players.
And their girlfriends are popular kids.
And they shove him into the locker.
One of the kids calls him a pussy.
He's not very well liked.
And he got his face, like the side of his face shoved in the locker,
clearly it's the end of the day.
So he's like walking out to be picked up.
And so he walks outside where his mom picks him up in the car and he like
pulls his hoodie over his face to hide,
you know,
that he just got hit and sort of like sulks into the car.
And she's just,
you know,
I think still very depressed over her other son dying. And you get the impression she's just not super attentive. She's, like, sulks into the car, and she's just, you know, I think still very depressed
over her other son dying.
And you get the impression she's just not super attentive.
She's just like, how was your day?
And he says, fine.
She goes, great.
She doesn't notice that, like, he's clearly dealing with some shit.
At dinner that night, we see David and Luke, the brother, they're sitting at the table
together, just the two of them. And David's doing his thing again of, you know, I knew your brother and he he wanted me to tell you that he loved you.
And Luke's just like.
Thanks, like a little a little weirded out, but also just an awkward 14 year old and is sort of like, OK.
And then down the hall, we see the mom and dad
um are arguing uh the dad has come home from work and he's clearly uncomfortable with this guy being
in their house he's like she says you know he's he's in that picture with caleb like i saw i he
he knew caleb i i know that um and the dad's like you know what we don't know this guy the soldiers
come back different like what if he has ptsd like we don't know this guy. The soldiers come back different.
Like, what if he has PTSD?
Like, we don't know what this guy's deal is.
And she takes that very, she gets very offended and is like, well, what if Caleb came back different?
Like, they, and we can sort of hear them fighting in the distance back at the table.
And David says to Luke, like, oh, your mom and dad are fighting about
me being here and
Luke's like yeah they
fight a lot these days like since
Caleb died
and
David sees that he's got
some redness on his cheek from where we shoved in the
locker and he says you look like you got hit
and Luke goes
yeah I
got hit by a football um and
david just looks at me goes that can happen clearly doesn't buy it but just takes his story
we see outside anna is hanging out with her boyfriend zeke um and she said you know he's
smoking weed tries to offer her something she's like, no, I can't.
I have to go home.
He just like seems kind of kind of shitty, just like kind of a shitty guy, but not really paying a ton of attention to her.
She like she says she's upset that that guy is that David is in their house because she's like, my parents, you know, don't need a living, breathing reminder of Caleb.
Like, I just it's hard enough as it is.
I just sort of wish this guy like it's nothing against him personally
But she's like I just sort of wish he weren't here
And the boyfriend is clearly just like oh yeah
Like not really listening to her but um
Right she goes home
And
We see David is
Sitting on the the
Floor they're all hanging out in the living room um
David's sitting on the floor with Luke while Luke's doing his
Homework and he's like you, they're sort of bonding.
Luke's like explaining to him what his homework is.
Dad comes out.
He offers David a beer.
David doesn't take it.
And or no, David finally does take it.
He's like, yeah, sure.
I'll have I'll have a beer.
And Anna is like, I'll take one, too.
And dad's like, you can have one in a month when you turn 21.
And like they just got this like you know
Casual family
Dynamic we're getting a sense of everyone's vibe
Anna is like so moody
Like I don't know if we've seen her bedroom yet
But it's like
It's like a Halloween
Store like spooky spider web
Black like shiny purple curtains
Like it's like I don't know anyone who lives like this
But
She's like she's kind of she's got
One half of her hair like braided real tight
She's like edgy you know
Her boyfriend smokes weed she wants to drink
Beer
So later that night
We sort of pan up and David and the
Dad are sitting on the couch watching football
Together and we see like Six dad Are sitting on the couch watching football together And we see like
Six empty beer bottles on the table
So they've started bonding
The dad has seemingly changed his mind about David
He's like drunk
David doesn't seem drunk at all
But the six empty bottles are in front of David
Those are just his
And the dad has had a bunch of beers
And they're talking
And the dad's like
Complaining to David now
that he, you know, someone just got promoted over him. He should have been manager, but this other
guy got promoted and like, you know, it's fine. But I know that like Anna worries that I'm never,
you know, we're never going to make enough money. And I know she worries about me. And then,
uh, then he's like, you want to get another, you want another beer? I'll get another beer.
And David's like, well, sure.
And he's like, man, God, you could put your liquor away.
I'm tired.
Are you tired?
And walking out the room and David just goes, no, I don't need much sleep.
And he looks at his watch, just looks out the window.
And it's like nobody is noticing that this man is like what is up with him
it's just it's like just unsettling nothing has happened you're just like what is his deal
the next day luke walks out um from school to get in the car to be picked up and uh david is driving
um and luke's like oh what are you doing here and he
said oh I told your mom I could pick her up from school
today and they're
sitting in the carpool line and he
asks David asks Luke if he has any
friends and Luke
is like well yeah I
can't have friends so many friends
yeah what are you talking about of course I have friends you know
none who go to the school
you know I don't want any friends to go here.
And then David
asks Luke,
he's like, point out the guys that
did that to your face.
And
Luke sort of hesitates
a minute and then is like,
alright, fine, yeah, and he points to the group of
footballers,
footballers, who are getting in their little pickup truck at the end of the day. I mean, they're cool. They're roughhousing. They feel they're throwing the football back and forth. They're going to get in their pickup truck at the end of the day. And so Luke says, like, why? Like, why do you want to know? What are you going to do to them? He goes, nothing bad.
bad and then the
kids start driving off in their truck
and then David in
the car starts following them and
Luke's like boo what are you doing he's like
no no no they're just gonna follow them
see where they go sees that they're going to a
bar like a sort of
off the side of the road
shitty little dive bar
a high school bar
yeah so or they accept like 16 year olds yeah so Luke says shitty little dive bar. A high school bar? A high school bar, yeah.
Or they accept, like,
16-year-olds? Yeah, so Luke says,
or David says, like, they're going to a bar, and Luke's like,
yeah, this place will serve you underage if you're on the football team. It's, like, a very small-town dynamic.
Clearly the football players are, like, you know,
fucking cool, and who cares?
They can do whatever they want.
So, David
pulls in the parking lot.
The guys, the cool
kids, go into the bar.
And David goes, Luke, he goes, you want a drink?
And Luke's like, what?
No, what?
No.
And he's like, OK, well, I'm going to go get a drink.
Let me know if you change your mind.
And he parks the car.
He gets out.
And he walks into the bar.
So Luke, me and him in like 10 seconds, is like, OK.
I'll go.
And he walks in.
The football players clock him.
And they're all in a booth with their girlfriends. And they see him. And they all start laughing. And they're like, what, fuck. Okay, I'll go. And he walks in. The football players clock him and they're all in a booth with
their girlfriends. They see him and they all start laughing.
They're like, what the fuck? Why is he here?
And he sits at a table
with David. Luke is clearly
so nervous to be there. He's like,
these are my fucking bullies and also we're in a bar.
Who is this guy? What's happening?
The
bartender walks over to
them and pretty quickly laughs
And looks at Luke and is like
I'm gonna need to see some ID
And David goes, do you ID all of them?
The bartender's like, what do you want?
So he
David says, do you know how to make a fireball?
And he says
Yeah, cinnamon schnapps
And Tabasco
He was like, yep, I'll have one of those
Like what the fuck is that
That's David's drink
Is it supposed to be like a very macho drink
Cause that sounds
Like just gross
Just gross
Horrifying not the drink of choice
Of anyone normal
But I guess he needs it for fuel
For what's gonna to come next.
Maybe.
So he, and he's like,
and I'll get a Coca-Cola
for my friend right here.
And then he looks over at the booth
of the high schoolers and he goes,
and you know what?
So stupid that it's called.
He's like, you know, I'm going to get,
let me get a blowjob shot
for all the girls at that table.
What's a blowjob shot?
I don't know.
I'm learning so many things.
It literally says blowjob shot like eight times.
It has like a southern.
It says like a blowjob shot.
Yeah, it's.
Ew, whipped cream.
It's like let me get a blowjob shot for all the ladies at that table.
Yeah, it's like a lady drink.
It's a lady drink.
And whipped cream.
Because it's called a blowjob too.
Ew.
Ha, ha, ha.
I love blowjobs.
So, then the bartender's like,
will you want to order something for the guys,
too? And he's like,
no. The bartender says, well,
you know, it's kind of rude to not
get something for them.
And he goes, okay, fine.
I'm going to get a cosmopolitan
for all of the guys.
And the bartender's like, I was thinking more a beer.
Nope.
Cosmopolitan.
That's very funny.
It's so funny. I'm getting mad about it, too.
I feel like if anybody bought me any drink, I'd be like, fuck you.
Yeah.
So the bartender's like, okay.
So he goes behind the bar comes back oh and david like throws two hundred dollar bills down on the table and it's like that should cover it so he's
just like pulling cash out like it's nothing and uh luke goes like are you rich or something he's
like money's easy to come by he's like oh i uh-oh. Uh-oh. I don't know, man.
Okay. So the bartender
comes back.
I disagree. The bartender comes back
and gives him his...
It just looks like a cup of hot sauce
to David
and brings the
Cosmos and blowjob shots
over to the high schoolers
and they're all like, what's this?
Who gave us this?
And he like points over to David and David waves at them.
So the high school guys come over and they're like sort of lead guy comes
over to this Cosmo.
And he was like,
Hey,
I don't want this.
And David's like,
well,
I ordered it for you.
Do whatever you want.
He's like,
Oh,
okay.
And throws the drink in David's face.
He's not so offended that
me, a man, a man
drinking a Cosmo?
It's such an insult. So he
throws the drink in David's face.
David just sits there,
wipes
the drink off of his face,
very calmly opens his eyes,
then
picks up his drink.
Throws it in his face, which is Tabasco in his drink.
So he starts like freaking out and is like getting in his eyes.
And then David just starts beating the shit out of all of them in a way that is like he is like lightning fast.
He's like a fucking robot.
way that it's like he is like lightning fast he's like a fucking robot he just like grabs a pool cue knocks over somebody's head grabs a guy stomps on his ankle breaks his ankle grabs a bottle
smashes another kid like he just is like taking them out in the fray one of them punches luke in
the face so then he gets a bloody nose but david immediately like gets him beats him up he's like
breaking chairs it's just it's fucking chaos for like 30 seconds And it is violent like it is gnarly
He is just like destroying
These children just destroying them
There's four of them the girls all scream
And run out honestly I love
A good I love a good bully revenge
Scenario
Anytime
I'll take it and any movie
At any moment of any day
It's like you can't go too far.
Like the end of Let the Right One In, it's like the most incongruous revenge and it still rules.
It still rules.
Hey, the proper punishment for being a bully is anything.
It is anything.
You say one mean thing and you can be killed.
Those are the rules as far as we're concerned.
Although, I mean, and let the right one in.
That bully was fucked up.
That's true. Fucked up. That was like
so, because it went beyond physical violence.
It was like emotionally manipulative.
And I mean, all bullying is. Bullying is bad. This is bad.
And they deserve it.
But he doesn't kill them. He just kicks the shit out of them.
The ankle break is really the first way. like stands on it's nasty but so the so the
fighting sort of stops all four of the football players are all laying on the ground like oh
like out just like fuck like fucked up and the bartender's like standing everyone's like sort of
and like holding pound like is it over the bartender's like holding a baseball bat or something and staring at him and david goes uh tells the bartender he's like call the cops and
and tell him oh he i tell there's like two patrons at the bar and he's like get out of here and he
says to the bartender call the cops and and tell him what happened these underage kids asked to be
served you told him no and and things got hostile you don't know who threw the first punch but they they got into
a fight and uh and you know and that's what happened uh and he throws down another couple
hundred dollars on the bar and he's like for the damages and then he and luke walk out damn okay
uh that night uh anna when we get back to the house and uh luke has a bloody nose but he like
goes right into his room and the mom's like oh my god what happened and david's like oh he you know

So she's like very begrudging
She's like do you want to come to a party tonight
He's like well sure thank you so much for inviting me
Just like doesn't care that she doesn't want him there
So well sure thank you so much for inviting me just like doesn't care that she doesn't want him there so
later on
getting ready for the party Anna
starts knocking
on the bathroom door someone's in the shower and she's like
Luke I need to get ready for the party Luke
get out come on get out and she's like knocking
really irritated with her brother for hogging
the bathroom except
it's not her brother.
He opens the door
and it is a shirtless
Dan Stevens
after a day of
fasting and a quick diet coke.
And he
walks out really slowly. He's like
holding the towel around his waist, but like low.
You know what I mean?
And he's like oh sorry about
that you could have a bathroom now like walks over to his room like making eye contact with her like
the whole time just like knows he's very hot and she's very flustered and she's like it was fine
and he walks into his room and she walks into the bathroom and we stay on her for a moment where she's just like okay like that
oh boy that's not what I was expecting
so she's coming around
on him now too because he's so
hot
that's all it took
so that night
they show up at the party
it's a big house party of her friend Kristen
um
she tells David she's like I'm gonna, I'm going to meet up with my boyfriend and you do whatever the fuck you want. And he's like, oh, I didn't know you had a boyfriend. And she says, yeah, my parents don't either. And I'd like to keep it that way. And he's like, I'm not going to write you out. Like, whatever. Like, I'm just here to hang out. It's all good.
So they come in and immediately the friend sees the friend opens the door and sees him at the door and is like, oh, like he's I'm telling you, he's so hot that everyone's just like, hello.
They're like flustered.
And so I get flustered when I see hot people all the time.
Oh, my God.
We all it's the most relatable thing in the world.
I remember a hot stranger remember a hot stranger a hot stranger i remember at like the beginning of covid going to trader joe's for the first time there was a hot trader joe's employee that was
in a mask so all i could see was the top of his face and i was like so flustered i was like this
guy's top of his face is so hot thank god i can't see the rest oh my god i wouldn't be able to um
hot people are great i love to look at hot people i love to look at them I love to look at hot people. I love to look at them. I love to look at them,
especially from a safe distance.
So, yeah.
So Anna walks into the party
and the friend's like,
oh, you know,
come grab a drink.
The kegs are on the lawn.
We're like waiting for someone
to bring them in.
He's like, oh, where are they?
I'll go get them.
So she's like, oh, okay.
Thank you.
So we cut to the inside of the party they're all
sitting in like a room sitting around
some friends like on the couch
hanging out and David walks
in with one keg over his shoulder
and holding the other keg and she's like
what do you want these
and everyone everyone in the party is like
like who is this guy like what a
fucking entrance he's holding up two kegs.
Like, nothing.
So he's made quite an entrance.
Puts the keg down.
This guy named Craig at the party is smoking a joint.
He offers it to David.
David takes it and then passes it to Anna.
She takes it and then passes it to Anna. She takes it.
Then in the kitchen, David is talking to Kristen, the girl whose party it is.
She is clearly very into him and flirting.
Just then her ex-boyfriend comes in and walks right up to her.
And she's like, oh, she's David.
Like, oh, it's my ex.
And the ex comes in.
He's like, hey, what?
You don't answer my calls.
And then a week later, you're having a party. Like, like excuse me and like tries to grab her to like bring her to come
talk to him and david grabs him slams his head against the wall and and then he says to him and
his friend he's like get out of here take your friend out of here and they're like oh okay and
then kristin goes so did you like want to see the rest of the house?
And then they start to have sex.
They're up in her room.
Wow.
And she's, I know, I immediately, and this whole time I'm like, you go, girl.
Good for you.
They're making out.
She's on top of him.
And she sort of stops and goes like, are you okay?
It seems like you're not really into this.
And he goes, oh, I am.
And like flips her and gets on top of her and then starts making out with her like super hard.
It's like a switch flips.
And he's like, oh, no, I could be into this. I was going to say he's like doing an act like he's like, oh, right.
I got to step it up.
Right.
I'm going to have sex with you.
So then they come back down to the party
Um
You know clearly having just had sex
Her hair is like down now and they sort of walk out
And Craig sort of jokingly
Is like oh so you guys are
You sort of left for a while you're sort of having your own party
And then
Sits down across from David and Craig's like
Hey I just want you to know like we all
We support you we all support what you're David and Craig's like, hey, I just want you to know, like, we all we support you.
We all we all support what you're doing.
And David's like, support me.
How is like, oh, you know, I just I mean, like, you know, troops.
I can't imagine.
It's just really starts to get like flustered and tongue tied because David's getting really intense.
And he's like, would you support us by enlisting?
He's like, oh, I would.
But, you know, I got i have asthma you guys
wouldn't want me out there and david is like i'm fucking with you and it's like oh oh my god and
they're all like ah ha ha david's so funny um just a joke kristin gets up to go into the other room
and david says to craig craig is i guess seems like he is sort of like the leader of this group.
Like he's a drug dealer and is maybe like the sort of, I don't know, head guy.
He got the vibe that Craig's got connections, I guess, because then David says to him when the two of them are alone, he's like, hey, could you could you get me a gun?
And Craig's like, I mean, yeah, yeah, I have connections.
You want a gun?
He's like, yeah, yeah.
If you got a guy and he's like, yeah, soldiers love their guns.
All right.
Like doesn't really think anything of it.
And so he's like here.
Craig's like, can I get your number?
I'll have my guy call you.
And David pulls out a cell phone is like, like yeah I'm using a burner phone right now
I don't have a cell phone
And gives him a cell phone to put his number in
But earlier
He had told the mom
That he didn't have a phone
He has a phone
So we're like
Hmm also a burner
Hmm
And he wants and also I'm sure in New Mexico you can just
go into a Walmart to get a gun.
But he needs to
do it more covertly.
Yes.
But Craig's kind of like a sketchy
guy and it seems like he doesn't really
he has a gun connection.
He doesn't fucking care. He's like yeah sure. I'll hook you up
with my gun guy. Like what do I care?
As this is happening as Craig is getting his number,
David, like, sort of looks down the hallway
and he sees Anna and her boyfriend in a fight.
And so he sort of, like, clocks it and stares at that happening.
Anna comes out and she asks David.
She's like, can we leave?
He's like, okay.
He is driving her home.
Has Anna seen that he had sex with Kristen?
Did she kind of pick up on that?
Okay.
No, Anna did not see that happen.
She was in another part of the party when that happened.
Okay.
But, I mean, I think she saw them, like, flirt.
She knows that everyone's into him because he's so hot.
Yeah.
But, yeah, no, she did not.
She did not see that happen.
So he's driving her home.
She he asks about the fight with her boyfriend.
And she's like a little bit reluctant to talk about it.
But then she's like, I mean, if it's like at first it was cool that he was in a band.
But, you know, now it's like he doesn't make any money.
And it's like immediately the floodgates open and she just starts, like, bitching about her boyfriend.
And he's, like, David's, like, well, he's a drug dealer.
And she's, like, I mean, yeah, okay, he sells some drugs to people, like, on the side.
Just makes money.
But he's not a drug dealer.
And David says, well, he's a fool.
If I had a girl like you back home, I wouldn't have enlisted in the first place
And she's like
She's like oh my god
He likes me
And he tells her there's a song playing
In the car and he's like I like this
I like this song
She's like oh it's
Just a mix I made
I could make you a mix
If you want me to make you
I could make you a mix
Would this song be on it?
Yeah, I would. I would love that. She's like, OK.
I'm fully
crushing on him.
They go back home and
they, you know, walked in the hall. They each go to their
the air is thick as they each go
into their separate rooms and say
goodnight. And she goes in her room. We see her right
on a blank CD for David.
Put it in. she's already starting
to burn that CD baby she's hooked
mm-hmm she is
horny she's a whore
knee and we get it
uh then
meanwhile in David's room
we're wearing your cales from the David's in
we see that he is
sitting up like
a statue
staring out at who knows what oh god we see that he is sitting up like a statue on the bed
staring out at who knows
what oh god
early the next morning
Anna gets up and comes out of her room
everyone's still asleep she's like going into the kitchen
to get a glass of water when she hears
outside David on a
phone call and he sounds
angry and it's like the parts
she's picking up she hears him say
something about fingers fingertips and teeth i'm like shouting at somebody and it's and she's like
weirded out and she's like sort of hides and listens to what she can and uh and it's like
that's weird and sort of like sneaks back away into her bedroom.
David hangs up and he, like, turns around.
He's outside, like, in the window outside the kitchen, turns around, but doesn't see her.
But is like, hmm, somebody hear me?
So she goes back to her room and plays her music really loud and then decides she's going to call the army um to ask for information
about david i guess there's like a line you can call and she calls and says hi you know um my name
is anna peterson my brother was caleb peterson and i'm trying to find out about a guy uh who
served with my brother his name is david collins uh just i just want to he was friends with my
brother so i just want to know you know where he is and how he's doing if anyone could um give me information that'd be great and the woman who's answering is like yeah of course
well um i'll look into it we'll call you back which is great and we see on at the headquarters
the soldier pulling up the searching david collins and just a alert comes up on the screen that says
call kpg headquarters immediately like by just searching his name They're like you better call us
Cut to
KPG headquarters which it seems very
Like
It's a very
Military office vibe
Like fancy boardroom
But like military
Feeling
Secret operation
Yeah and so a guy's
taking a cell phone call and he's like,
tell him David Collins is dead. David Collins is dead.
And
hangs up and walks into a meeting
and is like, I'm sorry, sir.
I need you for a moment. And he's like, okay.
This is Lance Reddick, who
I never got his character name in
the movie. What is it? Hold on. I have
it up. His name, character name in the movie. What is it? Hold on. I have it up. His name,
character name. I just kept writing
Leader Guy in my notes the entire
time. Leader Guy. His
Major Carver is his name. Major Carver.
Okay. So, yeah.
Major Carver comes out and
the
other guy
tells him like
someone called asking about David Collins.
And he's like,
who called?
Where are they?
Um,
get me a flight out there immediately.
And I'm going to need shooters.
So we're like,
okay,
not good.
He's like booking the next flight out.
Meanwhile,
we see David driving out.
He it's out in like the true middle of nowhere desert
meeting craig and uh another guy with his gun guy and david walks up and he's like hey
this is the guy great um the gun guy it asks immediately he's like you know i'm sorry do you
have do you have the money you got to make sure you're good for it and david like opens an envelope
that's just like a stack of hundred dollar bills and he's like
is this good and the guy's like yep let me show you my
guns
opens the trunk of his car did you guys see Sweet Home
Alabama with Reese Witherspoon
yes but not for so long
this gun guy is the like her gay
friend who she outs
oh yeah
that's such a fucked up part of the movie
she outs her gay friend
I love Sweet Home Alabama though
talk about a movie I've seen a thousand times
as a kid I used to watch it over and over
um anyway
it's that guy but so he opens up
his trunk and shows him all of his
he like has them all laid out all his different
handguns
and he's
like explaining them and showing
him which guns David like picks one up
and just like very quickly
takes it all apart puts it all back together
like he's like knows how to use a gun like
and they're all Craig and the gun guy are
sort of watching him like
alright and David's
like great
I'll take them all and
he's like all the guns and he's like yeah i'm gonna i'm gonna
i'm gonna take them all off your hands jesus christ i'm gonna need all of these the guy's like
okay hey man cool if you want if you got the money you want to take them all off my hands and he goes
no no i'm going to kill you and uh and he's still holding that one gun that he had.
And Craig's like, David, what the fuck?
What the fuck is wrong with you?
And David just holds the gun up, shoots him point blank,
kills the gun guy.
Oh, my God.
And Craig starts freaking out.
And he turns the gun to Craig.
And Craig's like, no, no, no, no, no.
And he goes to shoot him.
But there was only one bullet in the chamber.
So he opens it and is like
fuck and so Craig just starts
running so David like puts that gun down
and he gets another bullet and he's like taking his
sweet sweet time just putting
the thing together Craig has booked it
down the road David turns
around and at quite
a far range shoots him point blank
kills him
oh my god.
Oh boy.
Meanwhile, oh, and he also, so then he
looks in the trunk, there's a machine gun in there
and two grenades, in addition to
all the handguns.
So, we don't love that now David has all these guns.
Good, good, good, good. Yeah, he has
too many, we have too many guns and not
good intentions, I don't think.
Meanwhile, Anna gets
a call back from the army. We see her take
the call, but we don't hear what they
say to her, but she's clearly
thrown by it.
She walks out of her room
and is calling her mom to try to tell
her what she found out.
But just as she's about to say
whatever they told her on the phone, her dad
comes home from work and he immediately walks in in is like, I need a drink and like walks into the kitchen and it sort of distracts both of them.
And so they follow him to the kitchen and he's pouring himself a huge whiskey and he's like clearly very shaken.
And he's like, my manager, they found him and his girlfriend dead this morning.
It looks like they killed themselves with prescription drugs.
And he's like, it just doesn't make sense.
He didn't seem suicidal, but the cops looking into it,
they found a note.
They don't really know what the deal is, but here's the kicker.
I got promoted to his position, and I got a huge salary increase.
Oh, boy.
So they're like, oh, OK.
And he's like, yeah, like and he's not happy.
He's like, just go to show like careful what you wish for.
Yeah.
And meanwhile, this is sort of dawning on Anna like, huh, that's weird.
And then Anna gets another call on her cell phone.
It's her boyfriend, Zeke, calling her from the car.
He's driving and he's like, hey, Craig was just found shot dead.
So she's hearing that.
She's just heard the story from her dad.
She's like okay what
the fuck like our friend Kristen's really
sad he's
meanwhile the boyfriend as he's talking to her
starts getting pulled over and he's
like fuck I gotta go
I'll call you back in a minute hangs up
oh no
Anna then goes to visit her
friend Kristen at the diner
they both work at the diner this is the friend that had the party
they hug they're sad they're like
I'm so sad about Craig she's like who would have
like who would have done
like who would want to hurt Craig
and so Anna tells Kristen
what she learned from the army which is she's like
hey I just heard from the army
that David Collins
died last week they think David Collins
died last week in a
fire at a military hospital and kristen's like well he has he's like using a cell phone why don't
you check his call log and see if you can see who he's been calling maybe that'll help you understand
like who he they're both they're both like a little shaken by this and they're like oh that's
like weird like maybe like why don't you check his call log and see if you can figure out maybe
who he's been talking to
she's like okay I'll go I'll tell you
when I find out that night we see that
David and Luke are carving pumpkins it's right around
Halloween time
there Luke is or David's like using one of
their knives he's like your family's knives suck
and he takes a knife out of his pocket and goes like
it's like one of those ones like
he like flicks it all around and like pulls it out and like stab goes like, it's like one of those ones where he flicks it all around and pulls it out and stabs the pumpkin.
It's like the trailer is very great with knives.
And Luke is like, you carry that with you everywhere.
And he's like, yeah, just, you know, no reason.
Just because.
But Luke is like so enamored with David at this point.
I mean, he beat up all his bullies.
He's like this cool guy that he gets to hang out with, like a brother figure.
He lost his brother. We see that Luke
and David have fully bonded and he is like
on board with David
and he thinks it's cool that he has this crazy
knife. Yeah, or at least Luke has bonded with
David. I don't think David can bond with
anybody. I don't know that David can bond.
But I do think David is aware
of the feelings he's getting from him.
So then they go inside and David tells Luke, he goes, hey, Luke, don't let kids pick on you.
Okay.
The next time somebody says something to you, you go to their house.
You burn the house down with their families inside.
Oh, my God.
And Luke's like, okay.
And then David's like here Take my knife
You can have this now and he's like are you serious
Oh my god he just keeps his knife
And he's like I forgot about that thing you just said about burning
Their families down in their homes while they sleep
Thanks for the knife you're so cool
Oh my god
Anna comes home and
While they're sort of talking and bonding
She slips David's phone off the counter
Goes into her room
Opens it up and starts taking pictures of his call log with her phone.
And just as she's doing that, it starts ringing.
She's like, fuck, shit, and, like, sneaks back and, like, manages to, like, stash it back in his room, slips out, shuts the door behind her and goes into her room.
And just while David, like, comes into the room, sees the phone
is clearly like registering. It's not
quite where he left it. We see
him like look towards Anna's door
but
then go back in his room and shut the door and not
do anything.
Just then her phone
rings and it scares her. It's a jump scare
and it's her boyfriend
calling her
from his one phone call
from prison
saying that the gun
that was used to kill Craig was found
in his van.
It had been wiped clean
so there were no prints
but then they searched his apartment
and they found some drugs
and she's like, it seems like I'm going to be here for a while.
Oh, boy.
Hangs up.
She comes out into the kitchen where David and David is cutting vegetables for dinner.
The mom and dad are in the kitchen all hanging out.
She comes out crying and her parents are like, you know what's going on?
She comes out crying and her parents are like, Hannah, what's going on? She's like, my friend Craig was killed today and they just arrested Zeke for it. And her dad's like, well, honey, you know, that ex-boyfriend of yours was a lowlife. And if they arrested him, I'm sure they had a reason. And I'm sorry about your friend, but I'm glad you're not associated with that guy anymore and she's like dad Zeke wasn't isn't my ex-boyfriend he's my boyfriend I never stopped dating him and the dad gets really mad and he's like you you know she's like I'm 20 I could take whoever I want
he's like not when you're living here and he's a drug dealer and he just got arrested for murder
and I'm sure he did it and like I'm sorry you're upset but good riddance on him and
she she's like who the fuck is this guy she's like calls out david and she's like he was supposed to
have died a week ago the army called me david collins is dead he doesn't have any id like who
the fuck is this guy and david is like holding this huge kitchen knife as he's doing this but
he's like you know i should have been honest with you i was in special forces they have to have a cover story you know they can't just
tell civilians my identity and no you're right i don't have id but i i you know i do have my dog
tags like pulls him out he's like you know if you want me to go find a way to get identification
you know i'm sorry and the dad in me i was like no david oh david i'm so sorry no it's completely fine our daughter's just being a crazy bitch i'm so sorry
about this um and you know he's like you know i really should have been more honest i'm so
i'm sorry he's like no no david you you did what you had to do you're it's fine and uh and he's
like and i apologize to him and she just looks her dad and she's like fuck Anna, apologize to him.
And she just looks her dead, and she's like,
fuck you.
And goes into her room, and they're like,
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, no, oh, God.
And they apologize to
David.
Anna goes into her fucking spooky
spider bedroom, slams the door,
sits in her bed, and there's
a knock at the door, and it's David, and slams the door sits in her bed and there's a knock at the door
and it's David and he opens
the door and he walks in
and shuts the door behind him
and he's like
sorry about
Craig he seemed like a really
cool guy and
you know I can see that
me being here isn't good
for you so don't worry.
I'm going to be I'm going to be leaving soon and I'll be out of your hair.
And then you don't have to worry about anything anymore.
OK.
And she just stares at him and he goes, OK.
God, she's like, OK.
And it's like very threatening.
He's again not saying anything bad, but he's just like
we're cool, right?
Yeah.
Because I'll kill you otherwise.
And so then he goes to walk out of the room
and as he's walking out right by the door, he sees
a CD labeled for David
and he picks it up and turns around and he's like
is this my mix? Did you make me a mix?
And he's like
can I have it? And she's like a mix? And he's like, oh, can I have it?
And she's like, mm-hmm.
He's like, that's really nice.
Thank you so much.
I can't wait to listen to it.
That's really nice.
And walks out.
Meanwhile, we see Lance Reddick, Major Carver, or as I've written, Leader Guy, getting into an unmarked black van and
he's telling his assistant or whoever that guy
was before he's like get anyone you can
SWAT police
KGB I don't care get whoever
you can to come and meet me here like
we're gonna need all the backup we can
get it's so funny do you think that there's
anybody in the world that is like that
where it's like
you're such a disproportionate
danger to anybody else
like no probably there might be
like three people in the world
but it is really funny how in any
sort of like action movie or
it's like they're in every action movie
well it's honestly it's the thing
I fucking love about John Wick yeah no
you know I love John Wick That everyone's like John Wick
Not John Wick
Like the whole universe is like oh no
Oh no John Wick
And it's my favorite fucking thing that doesn't matter who you
Are in that world it's like oh
No but it is one of those
Situations I love it too because it's just
Like I think because it's so not
Realistic to have one person just be so
much stronger
and more better and
smarter than anybody else
yeah but it rules we love to see it
we love to see it
it's always fun
it always is to be like oh hell yeah
it's about to go down
because it's they always structure
it to where it's like the bad guys think
they know what's up and then they do something
really bad, but they don't know.
They don't know that
John Wick is about to fucking kill them.
Or Jason
Bourne or whoever.
Ethan Hunt. The Equalizer.
You can't fight
him. You can't fight him.
This feels more similar to a Jason Bourne situation
And we'll get there
Yeah
But
Meanwhile we see
Anna's driving David
To school and she's telling him
She's like I found in David's
Call log
Luke to school
Who cares
She's driving Luke to school
And she's like hey I found in David's Who cares? She's driving Luke to school. She's like, hey, I found in David's
call log that he's been calling this
former plastic surgeon in
Miami. This plastic surgeon who
got his license removed because he did a facelift
on someone and he wasn't supposed
to. And so he's like this former plastic surgeon.
Not great news. And she
tells Luke, she's like, I
need you to look up this plastic
surgeon and help me figure out what the deal is. Do any research you can. And Luke's like, do you to like look up this plastic surgeon and like help me figure out what this
what the deal like do any research you can and Luke's like
do you think that David killed your friend
Craig and she's like yeah I do and
like please help me with this so
David's back
at school he opens up his laptop he's sitting in
class before the bell rings and you see him
right sorry yes Luke
um
thank you so much.
It's just funny to imagine
David's in school now.
So Luke is in school and he opens up his laptop
and we see him pull up that plastic surgeon.
We see articles about him losing his
license. One of the bullies
that David, the real David,
beat up at the bar
was looking over his shoulder and was like,
oh, you're looking up plastic surgeon like what's
oh what's your problem
and
Luke turns around
punches him in the face
that bully
then is like oh fuck you and like hits
him then Luke pick they get into a
fight Luke picks up a yardstick and breaks
it over the kid's face and it like hits
him in the jaw where he's got a bandage
over his jaw already from when David beat the shit
out of him. So he's immediately like in so
much pain. Like he like got re-injured
wherever David had injured him.
Cut to Luke and this
kid sitting in the principal's office. The
mom and David come in
and she's like, what happened? She's clearly been
clawed into the principal's office. They walk
out. They collect Luke.
He's like, after school detention, you're going to have to help.
And his job is to give him help set up for the Halloween dance.
And he's like, oh, OK, great.
Like, the fucking rules.
The mom goes to get the car.
Then Luke and David are walking down the hall.
And Luke says, hey, hey, hey, David.
We know that David Collins died last week.
Anna thinks that you killed Craig.
She knows about the plastic surgeon in Miami.
Oh, boy.
But but but it's it's OK.
Like, I just want you to know, like, I don't care.
Like, I won't say anything.
Like, it's fine.
Like, I just I just thought you should know.
But like, that's sort of what's going on. It's heartbreaking I won't say anything. Like, it's fine. Like, I just thought you should know. But like, that's sort of what's going on.
It was heartbreaking, Luke.
I know.
It's awful.
And David's like, plastic surgeon in Miami.
Why would I need a plastic surgeon in Miami?
Not to take somebody's identity or anything like that.
Well, probably to scrub your fingertips and change your face so you're unrecognizable.
And that way you can't be traced, right?
Like, that's what you'll be doing. But like, it's fine. It's fine. I'm just saying, like, I don't care. I don't care that that's so you're unrecognizable and that way you can't be traced, right? That's what you'll be doing.
But it's fine.
I'm just saying I don't care.
I don't care that that's what you're doing.
I don't care who you are.
I won't say anything.
And David's like, why would you do that?
He says, because we're friends.
Right?
Oh, no.
David stares at him and then goes.
Yeah.
Oh, God.
Of course we are.
Oh, no.
Oh, no. And he goes, God. Of course we are. Oh, no. Oh, no.
And he goes, hey, Luke, did Anna tell anybody else about this theory of hers?
Oh, God.
And he's like, I don't know, maybe her friend Kristen?
He's like, all right, thanks.
Oh, no.
That afternoon, David and the mom are hanging laundry on, like, a laundry line outside,
and she says to him, like, I'm so grateful for you, David.
I mean, I don't know what we would have done without you.
And you, you know, you saved Luke and also all of us.
It's just been so nice to have you here.
He's like, oh, it's nothing.
He's like, I'm gonna go get he goes in the house to go get some more laundry to hang up.
Just as this is happening, he goes inside and two huge police SWAT vans start coming down the road.
They come up. Lance Reddick gets out of the car and comes up to the mom and he's like mrs peterson she's like
yeah what's going on he's like i you know my name is major carver uh have you seen this man recently
my name is leader guy my name is i'm the leader guy um you might know me as the man in charge of the thing.
And he's like, have you seen this man lately?
And it's a picture of David in like a straight jacket.
Like looking like clearly like not good.
And she's like, that's David.
And he's like, when was the last time you saw him?
And she goes, he just went inside and a sheet blows away with the wind revealing david standing there with a laundry basket he locks eyes with the
leader guy leader guy locks eyes with him and he drops slow-mo drops the laundry pulls a gun out
and they start shooting each other all these SWAT guys come out and they start shooting at each other. All these SWAT guys come out and they start shooting. The leader guy grabs the mom and like throws her down on the ground.
David runs into the house and they are just like machine guns,
just like over like through the whole house.
We see David,
he like runs in through a window,
breaks the glass,
gets down on the ground.
He's been shot once in the leg,
but he's got like guns hidden under
the bed like all the guns that he had purchased and it's just an all-out shootout and he's like
crawling under the gun line like through the house we see the the mrs peterson had like run away from
this like what's going on and like ran into the house and is hiding in the house. David crawls, army crawls into the kitchen where he and Mrs.
Peterson then are hiding behind like the kitchen island. And she's like, David, David, what's going
on? Who are these people? Why are they shooting at you? Why are they trying to kill you? He's also
now been shot in the side. So he has two bullet wounds, but they're not fatal and she's like did you even know my son
he's like yes I did
we were in the same program
and he would understand what I have to do right now
and she's like David no
and he stabs her right in the chest
with a big kitchen knife twists it
she's dead oh no
oh shit uh oh
okay okay
what the hell?
Yeah, what the heck is going on?
Oh, what the heck?
And at this point, we're all thinking, what the heck is going on?
What the freaking heck is happening?
Somebody better tell me what the heck is going on.
So they're still trying to shoot him in the house.
But then we see out of the garage he's in the car
he backs out of the garage shoots at the tires of all of their SWAT vans and drives off they're
like fuck he's got away the leader guy gets in one of the cars and starts driving it down the
road but it's going very slowly because all the tires are flat david's driving off we see a car it's a long dirt road where there's like nobody else on it and we see it driving down the
road towards the house is the dad david sees this and is like oh fuck puts on his seat belt
pulls it really tight starts flooring it crashes intentionally head on with the dad a little bit thrown but he had like locked himself
in so he gets out he looks the dad is
bloodied he's hit his head but he's still alive
and he's like oh David goes like
god damn it gets out of the car
gets a gun walks up to the
the you know driver's side window
and he's like David what's going on
he says really sorry about this sir
shoots him kills him.
Okay. Sure.
Then the leader
guy finally makes it there.
Oh, David then goes off on foot
because he's fully crashed his car.
We see him go off on foot into the town.
But we already know that he can run really far.
He doesn't need to sleep. We don't know what his deal is,
but he's probably going to make it.
The leader guy pulls up
sees the crash, sees the dad
dead. Another man is driving up
and he's like, I don't know what's happening. He's like, military
police, I need to come into your vehicle and kicks the guy
out and gets his car and drives down.
Nice. He goes
to the diner where Anna is working
and Anna and Kristen are both working
and he picks up and he's like, Anna Peterson
I'm gonna
need to take you out of here we need
to go get your brother from school and
she's like okay
goes with him they get in the car
they drive away as they're pulling out of the diner
parking lot we see
a van pulling into the diner parking
lot with a huge blood spatter on the
inside of the windshield and David
walks out like he definitely
shot the person who owned that car and just immediately got in it pulls in walks into the
diner and he sees kristin she's freaked out to see him because also this military police guy just
came in and he asks her where anna is and she's like um he she she just left she's like where was
she going and she's flustered and
trying to come up with a lie and he just gets exasperated it's like i don't have the time for
this shoots her twice in the chest are there other people okay oh yeah it's a full diner oh my god
shoots her twice in the chest goes to walk out turns around pulls out two grenades and just goes
oh my god and rolls them down the hallways of the diner and just turns and walks out whole place blows up
so we just killed everyone in the diner jesus doesn't fucking care he is like on so on the way
to the school to get luke now it's the leader guy and anna and anna's like what the fuck is going on
like you need who is david you need to tell me what's happening um and he says and this is one
of those situations where it's like i was really
trying to think through the logic of this later on and was like it's better to just not who cares
um so david was a subject of a medical experiment uh he was a soldier but when he came back they
started doing experiments on him while he was being studied he killed several people and then
started a fire and burned their bodies to confuse us. So we thought he died in the fire until we got that call from you.
So they did think David Collins was dead, but he's not.
So she calls Luke to be like, I need to tell Luke we're coming to get him and to not go with David anywhere.
So she calls him, but he's in detention and his cell phone rings and the teacher's like,
Luke, what did I say about cell phones in detention
give me that so he doesn't answer the phone
he's like setting up in the gymnasium for this dance
it's just him and this one teacher
that he doesn't answer
and is really freaked out and
he's like why are we wait you haven't said anything about my parents
where are my parents and
he's like David killed
both of your parents
so she's you know, very, very sad.
And he tells her, he's like, David has a unique neurological condition, which made him a perfect.
Basically, he's a sociopath.
Made him a perfect person for us to do these experiments on.
But when his identity is compromised he's essentially programmed
to tie up all loose ends
he says I doubt he could even stop at this point if he
wanted to
so they
and that's why he's like a Jason Bourne right he's like
he was a super soldier who doesn't know
who he is sort of situation
but
so they get to the school
they pick up Luke they they get to the school they they pick up luke and uh they they have to
walk through this like it's a halloween dance so the entry into the gymnasium or wherever is like a
whole big haunted house um that's like really very scary and really cool and it's like strobe lights
and things that pop out and like dark corners and like creepy clowns
like it's such a cool it made me be like why don't we do
more horror movies like it like it was like
very cool because you're so scared
already but you like can't see what's happening
so they walk through but they get to Luke
he's fine they grab him
and just as the leader guy and Luke and Anna
and as just as they're about to walk
out the doors all the lights get shut
off and they're like oh
fuck and then we see uh hand put a cd into the sound system and it's the for david cd
and the music starts playing and uh the teeth so they ask the teacher like how do we get out
of here and he's like we got this way. He's like, take us through the haunted house.
So they go to Escort the Bound, and wouldn't you know it,
the first pathway to our exit is a hall of mirrors for this Halloween dance.
So now we can't see each other.
It's dark.
We don't know where the teacher went, but then we see him stumble out.
His throat has just been slit.
He's bleeding.
He falls on the ground.
And so Lance Reddick says to Anna and Luke, he's like, go the other way.
Get out, get out, get out.
Like, go out the back.
And David walks.
So then they run away.
David walks out and goes, hello, sir.
And has a box cutter, which is what he used to cut the teacher's throat.
It's all bloody.
It's nasty.
Uh,
slices the,
the,
um,
leader guy's arm.
Like,
so he starts bleeding out and,
and,
uh,
he,
David comes up to him and says,
you shouldn't have followed me.
I don't know what you expected.
And then he takes,
David takes his own gun and like puts it
on the ground in the blood next to the um leader guy i don't know if it's like just to make it
seem like i don't know something else happened there but he leaves his gun um meanwhile anna
tells luke to hide in one of the parts of the haunted house um and he's like what's going on
like david would never hurt us like i i don like, what's going on? Like, David would
never hurt us. Like, I don't know what's happening or who that guy was, but David would never hurt
us. I know he wouldn't. And she's like, Luke, he killed mom and dad. He killed our parents.
And Luke's like, what? She's like, please, Luke, I just I need you to trust me. Just hide. Please
hide. Don't come out unless you hear from me.
Like, please just trust me.
So he hides in a little crate.
Oh, no.
Luke is dunzo bunzo for the rest of his life, by the way.
She's like, I'm going to distract David.
I'm going to lead him out.
So she goes out the other way to do that.
But we see David comes into the room where Luke is.
And he's like looking around for him.
He's like, Luke, him and he's like Luke
Luke I'm not gonna hurt you
no
I hate that
sorry but I had
to do it and
we see as Luke is crouched
in his corner terrified he like pulls out the knife
that David had given him so he's like
ready David's getting closer and
closer but just then we hear a crash from the
other room so David turns around
and goes in that direction
and as he's going
back that way he sees the gun that he
had placed on the ground is now gone we see
like the silhouette of it
in the blood right the outline so he
sees that
he walks into
the room the big auditorium where there's like he had turned on basically like
all the halloween spooky stuff so there's like fog machine like on the ground like the whole
ground is fog and like cool colored lights it's really cool yeah that sounds cool so he's like
he starts following he sees bloody footprints on the ground of Anna's boots because she wears like
she's like you know spooky spider queens she has
like big combat boots she wears everywhere
so he sees like bloody footprints
so he's following them and he sees
they lead to just the boots she had
like taken them off and so she's walking
around barefoot and then he stands
up and gets shot in the back
turns around or no he turns around and
gets shot in the shoulder and it's Anna Oh, no, he turns around and gets shot in the shoulder.
And it's Anna.
She has a gun.
He falls to the ground.
She walks up to where he fell down.
But there's fog all over the ground.
She can't really see.
She gets there.
David's body is not there.
Just as she's realizing this, she gets stabbed in the leg.
So then David knocks her down.
And in doing so, like, knocks over a lantern onto a big barrel of hay.
I don't know.
It's Halloween.
So that lights on fire.
But he gets over Anna and he starts strangling her.
And it's, like, choking her.
And she's about to die.
Just then, Luke comes up behind him, stabs him in the back with his own knife.
David stands up.
Luke stabs him again in the heart.
Right in the chest, leaves the knife there.
David stumbles back, leans against a different bale of hay.
And he says, you did the right thing.
Oh, I don't blame you.
And then he goes, and David gives a thumbs up and then goes, don't blame you. And then he goes, and David gives
Luke a thumbs up and then goes,
don't feel bad.
And then goes
lifeless.
What?
What is happening in this movie?
So Anna and Luke then leave.
They get out of the gymnasium as the whole place
goes up in flames.
Outside, we see them sitting in the back of a fire department vehicle, just, like, covered in blankets, being tended to.
A firefighter.
This has happened to me before.
I can't remember the word for firefighter.
I was going to say fire worker.
A fireman.
God damn.
Fire worker.
The firefighter is, like, asking them if they are okay.
I'm like, okay, great.
I'm going to.
I'll be back.
Just, like, stay here great. I'm going to – I'll be back. Just like stay here.
It's all good.
Goes up to another firefighter who's just coming out of the gymnasium asking for like the report.
And he says there were two bodies found, both badly burned.
One is missing his teeth.
They got knocked out it looks like.
looks like and we see anna's like looking towards them and we see a firefighter limping out of the gym in like full gear with a little gas mask on his face he turns to look at her they lock eyes
it's david she goes what the fuck end of movie what oh my god is there a guest too i mean this was in 2014
also like what else could you do i wish we've sort of just done it right but
no no we've done it we've done it but however like what i don't really understand. So did he actually he actually served with Caleb and he actually wanted to go see his family?
I think the deal is he actually served with Caleb.
He did care about Caleb.
He did want to see his family.
But he is also a sociopath who then when he was after he got injured for real, got injured at war.
then when he was after he got injured for real got injured and at war they decided to do a medical experiment on him to try to create this like super soldier but yeah it went it went badly
and he escaped and then he went to go see kayla's family for real i think there are like
parts of him that are really who he was and then this like super soldier part takes
over like the only reason he like
with all the bad things he did before killing Craig
killing the bosses or the
dad's boss and stuff was like that
was him trying to take care of the family that was
him like looking out for them it's just that
he's crazy I shouldn't
say that he's like
a sociopath so he did it
by killing these people like he thought he was
doing the right thing but then when he when his identity becomes compromised he has to take them
all out because that's what he is programmed to do um so that is sort of what my understanding is
of the situation a cautionary tale against making a cautionary tale soldiers let's not do it let's not do it it never turns out
well it's hardly the point but a thing I kept
thinking is oh imagine
changing and hiding
that perfect face
such a shame
it's so tragic
so the only thing I
wish the movie had done is
because this bothered me kind of the whole time
is like what's his personal life
like who's where's his family like
did he they just like never even
acknowledge that and I feel like
it's like the elephant in the room the whole time where it's
like why is he immediately spending so much
time with Caleb's family I mean I
think he's just not I don't know well
or normal yeah probably doesn't
have a family yeah
yeah yeah but I wish there
had just been some acknowledgement of the fact that
he doesn't have a family or something like that.
It's also like, there definitely are questions
and some holes in the story where you're like,
why? What? But also, I was thinking
about it today when I was
taking my notes.
It sort of doesn't matter. The point of the movie
is just like, who's this guy?
What's the deal?
And then a bunch of cool violence happens.
Like, that's all this movie is trying to do.
And they do it well.
Also, like, I'm so bad at this.
I truly, it's a quick movie.
It's like 90 minutes.
I think I took longer telling you what happens than it takes to watch it.
That happens sometimes.
I'm really sorry.
Because you can get a lot of information visually that, in a second second that just takes a long time to describe
also I spent like 45 minutes
talking about how hot he is and that is true and I
don't regret it um so
it's a great movie he's such
a good actor it's it's fun it's cool
yeah it's like very funny too I remember
laughing a lot it's like really
well done yeah
it really is and it does it does look
really cool that like haunted house sequence
at the end is really a great device um it's great it's on netflix there you go we talked about this
before but it's worth repeating like there's also just something that's it never gets old
watching someone who's just always going to dominate. Like, they're just good every time.
Like, you know, they're going to fucking whatever they're going to do.
They're just going to.
And this applies in every scenario.
Like even like the Queen's Gambit, you know, when like, you know that she's going to win
every chess match.
Like you just there's something about it where you're just like, yeah, let's watch that.
That makes me feel good.
Although I will say, there's apparently
in Vin Diesel's
contracts, he can't ever lose a fight.
Oh my god, yeah.
You will never see it. Go back and
watch every one of his movies. Highly recommend it.
You'll never see him lose a fight, which is
so funny to me to just know. Now
I think about that anytime I see a Fast and Furious
or anything where I'm like, well, any fight
he gets into, he will win and I just know that
to be true there's no stakes
which is different to me than like
there's a way it can be boring
there's a way it can be boring too
give me those Vin Diesel fights
but it's like in Mission Impossible
as you know my favorite thing ever
and John Wick my other favorite thing ever
it's like yeah John Wick's coming out on top
Ethan Hunt's coming out on top.
We'll find some twists and turns along the way, but then they're going to come out on top and I fucking love it and give me that all day long.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Wow.
Great, great pick, Emily.
It's a fun one.
Real good one.
I really enjoyed hearing about it. I might have to watch it again.
At least that one scene. I know. I kind of want to watch it, too. At least the one. I really enjoyed hearing about it. I might have to watch it again. At least that one
scene. I know. I kind of want to watch it too.
At least the one. Should we
do a bit of a
southern drawl? Yeah, like a slow
southern accent. Just a
little bit eerie southern.
Well, yes. That sounds good.
That's a little too southerny.
That's a little too southern, but you're in the right headspace
you take it away Emily
okay
god I'm gonna have to
miss Peterson okay from all of us here
