This is Emily, Henley, and Sammy, and you're listening to Too Scary, Didn't Watch.
Hello, welcome to Too Scary, Didn't Watch, the horror movie recap podcast for those too
scared to watch for themselves.
I'm Emily. Here I themselves. I'm Emily.
Here I am.
There's Emily.
Here I am. There she is.
I'm mostly very scared.
I'm also, oh, I'm Henley.
And I'm scared, but like maybe becoming more brave.
Yeah.
I'm Sammy and I'm brave simple plain straightforward straightforward
just a brave woman um did anything scary happen to us in the real world this week anything scary
in the real world um i the other day found one single cockroach leg on my kitchen A leg?
How did you know it belonged to a cockroach?
You can just tell. I have
I took a photo because I was
certain and I had to send it to someone
What did one of your cats ate the body?
That's what I'm led to believe
is that it's either
either in their bellies
or
in my house missing a leg.
Oh, no.
Either way, it's bad and scary.
That is scary.
Emily, what about you?
I can't think of anything.
I mean, I don't know if I want to say this on the podcast, but we are recording.
You're going to have to make that decision.
I didn't do much this week because i was um shooting i was shooting um i'm a working
actor um that's a joke um i was shooting this week so that's pretty much all that i did um and
so anything anything i'm going to talk about would be related to that and I guess what was scary is I had to kiss someone like very shortly after meeting them oh yeah um and he's kind of
famous and it was really scary for me um but then but then it quickly became not scary it was fine
I would be very scared take or two proud of you much. What a crazy thing to have to do. It's weird. It's always
very weird.
Yeah.
And I was scared, but then I had to
do it and I overcame my fear.
So it's a lesson in empowering
through your fear
to get to the other side. Also, kissing
is fun. So, you know, sometimes
I can't imagine doing
a sex scene must be so scary so scary well
they have intimacy coordinators now that's a new job that is common well because it's also like
have that before there are people all around you watching it's like not even just a stranger it's
not even just like having to be intimate with a stranger it's like having to be intimate with a
stranger the right way and the right angles while people like light you and shoot and it's
like and they're like bored and hungry and they're like all right and they're like watching it's so
that is it that's weirder than having to just like kiss someone you don't know i cannot wait
for you to have your first sex scene emily thank you so much hen Emily we'll keep you updated listeners so that was my scary
Emily anything scary
no I'm going to tap out of this one
she had a scare free week
scare free week which isn't really true
because I've just been on Twitter all week and
Twitter is a fucking scary place to be
political again
I'm not going to say anything
I'm not going to say anything I'm not gonna say anything
I am scared by the crisis
In Syria oops I got political
Okay
I guess so our film this week
Is sort of not
Scary we know it's October
Look we know it's October we promised you a scary month
We have some fucking really scary
Ones coming up so brace yourselves. This week
is a bit of a reprieve.
Yes. This week's film
I laughed the whole time. It was
more perplexing. It was just a perplexing
film. It was so perplexing.
But in a new
way of doing things that we've never done
before, all of us are the
brave people this week. Yeah Yeah we all saw it.
And I have to say I was
scared. I'm scared. I was bummed it wasn't
scarier because I was like I did it. I'm here.
No time back. Yeah.
And I was like
I had to be there and so I was like if I'm
here I might as well get scared and I didn't
really. I did get at moments I definitely
did. Yeah there were some spooky parts
but overall I'd say yeah it was just funny and listeners I think you should go at moments. I definitely did. Yeah. There were some spooky parts, but overall I'd say it was
just funny and
listeners, I think you should go see it.
What's the damn film,
Sammy? What's the film this week? Okay. This week's
film. Great question.
This week's film is
The Lighthouse.
It is written and directed
by Robert Eggers.
I believe he co-wrote with his brother.
Yes.
What's his name?
Max.
Max Eggers.
And starring Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe.
And a lady briefly.
And a very sexy mermaid.
A very sexy mermaid.
Robert Eggers, writer-director of The Witch.
Yes.
The one that we did earlier in the
podcast. Yes, we were excited
for this one. We talked about this a bit
in that. And we did, yeah.
Which is also why we thought maybe Scary.
It is listed as a horror
film. I would call it a horror
film, but I wouldn't call it Scary. You know what I mean?
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, I guess.
I don't know. So, he's only 36 years old this is his second film
um it's definitely an unusual looking film i mean i think that was probably the strongest
part of it it's got the like um four by three aspect ratio black and white well kind of blown
out so even though it's black and white it's like still
super bright I did spend the beginning
of the before I got so confused
I didn't even know what to fucking do with myself
I was like this is beautiful
it is really beautiful
and patient
yes it's directed
very well and the acting is very good
very good the accents are weird
the dialogue is
I feel like we need to preface directed very well. And the acting is very good. Very good. The accents are weird. The dialogue is...
I feel like we need to preface
all of this by saying these things
because we don't remember the plot at all.
I don't think there is a plot.
There's no plot. It is a movie
where a series of events happen
and none of
them really are explained or made.
It's just a spiral into madness.
It's a spiral into madness and they really... That's the story. That's it. It's just a spiral into madness. It's a spiral into madness. And they really.
That's the story.
That's it.
And so this.
It's a love affair with a lighthouse and a mermaid.
Yes.
And a mermaid.
And two men, kind of.
Yeah.
There was some sexual tension between them.
There was definitely sexual tension.
Where to begin?
Oh, God.
Where to begin?
Well, should we watch the trailer first?
Let's watch the trailer.
Oh, let's watch the trailer? Let's watch the trailer. Oh, let's watch the trailer.
Let's watch the trailer.
Tell me, what's a timber man want with being a wiki?
Just looking around and living.
Just like any man.
Starting new.
On the run.
Just like any man. Starting new.
On the run.
Keeping secrets, are you?
No, sir.
Why just fill your beans? Why just fill your beans? I just feel you beast
How long have we been on this rock?
Five weeks?
Two days?
Help me to recollect.
So, okay, so that trailer made me think that I maybe did love this movie.
I love this movie.
I immediately texted a friend after watching it and said I hated it, but now I think I loved it.
And maybe that's the beauty of this movie.
I'm of two minds about it.
I would say that part of me loved it.
The part of me that loved it thinks that it's unusual.
It was well acted. It was well acted. It was
well directed. It was visually stunning. I really loved the score. I loved like the sound design,
the sound mixing, the sound design, like all of that was fantastic. However, the other part of me
couldn't stop thinking about the fact that it felt like a pretentious senior thesis play like it was like oh it definitely
yeah guys like high off their own fucking like testosterone and like love of their own
intelligence just being like no you're smarter no i'm smarter no you're smarter like let's show
the world how smart we are like it just like they are smart i'm like okay but here's the thing though are they i mean yes on
one hand they are smart however what the fuck was this movie about and like can someone if someone
all the reviews that i read were praising it but like giving it like an a minus because no one could
really get to like a deeper level in this movie it's kind of like shallow in a way. There's just nothing more
to talk about. I think he just likes to
create moods and like
explore. It definitely creates a mood.
Like some sort of...
Like you want to go furiously masturbate in an
outhouse? I want to go furiously...
Oh, I went home and furiously masturbated.
Did you guys not? Sammy definitely
did. I like that we have not mentioned the plot
of the movie at all. Yes. Okay. the movie at all. We should do that.
We should do that.
Who wants to start?
Should we start with some trivia? We do have some trivia.
Yeah, that's true. What was your disclaimer? That feels important.
I was going to say disclaimer.
It's hard to talk about this movie.
It's really hard to talk about this movie. We're going to try to go through it
chronologically as usual. We're going to try.
But it's going to be fucking hard.
I also maybe would have liked this movie more
if I didn't know I had to talk about it because i do think like half
of me was like oh no oh no i don't know i don't know what this is i don't know
uh but yes maybe some trivia about the about this movie because it feels like there's a lot
of insane there's a lot of insane trivia um well so it's set in a lighthouse. It's 1890s New England.
1890s New England.
1890s New England.
Two men, lighthouse keepers.
That's pretty much it.
That's the tone you need to...
Yeah, it starts with them arriving at the lighthouse,
and they're going to be there for four weeks.
So it's like two hours of...
To Henley's senior thesis play point,
it's two hours of just these two actors really
in and around the lighthouse
and
apparently it was a pretty miserable filming
experience yes as Joel told
us last time oh yes our guest on the
on the witch on the witch yes
Robert Pattinson
like almost punched Robert Eggers
or he did punch him
almost almost punched him anders or he did punch him? Almost. Almost punched him. And
he
I will say Robert
Pattinson also sounds like he was no fun
to work with. Big fans of him on the pod.
We love him. We love him. He's beautiful. He's
great. He goes real method sounds like.
Apparently he I mean it's a nasty
movie. Okay guys I need to
read this quote. Please. So
Robert Eggers says on day one
we shot rob rob hansen masturbating in the shed it's the very first thing we shot and rob really
really went for it and you know it was inspiring oh my god the idea that that was the first thing
they shot is
Yeah what a first day at work
What a first day at work
Here I am talking about my scary day
That's a scary day
It really made me curious about Robert Ponson
It is a furious masturbation
And the sound design on that masturbation
I like turned to Jenna and really laughed
It was really wild
It sounded furious
Okay so let's try to do...
The other trivia is
did we determine that this is true?
To get emotionally
invested, to get an emotional
raw place.
Raw performance.
Robert Pattinson. Let's call him Rob.
R-A-W-B.
Rob.
For Rob.
To get to his character's state of mind, R-A-W-B Rob For Rob to get
To his
Character's state of mind he would make himself
Vomit before doing
A take which is fucked
Up
And I hate it so much
And
It feels so
This movie feels so
Male in this crazy way.
They had to tell him not to
throw up for real on Willem Dafoe.
He tried to throw up on Willem Dafoe.
He was like, I can do it.
And they were like, Willem will walk.
Willem will walk.
No, I can do it.
We don't want you to.
We don't want you to.
What a wild, wild shoot this must have been.
Truly insane.
Okay, we are going to need a cocktail to make it through this crazy movie.
So let's get into Cocktail Hour.
This week's cocktail is a dark and stormy.
This is a pretty simple cocktail. You just combine two ounces of dark rum with five ounces of
ginger beer and garnish with a lime. Simple, easy, delicious. Jenna also garnished ours with some
candied ginger to step it up a notch and make it extra fancy. So yeah, sit back and relax and cheers to ye.
Okay, so let's just get it started. Let's try our best. Let's try.

so much that I would tell my mom that I wanted to work at Staples when I grew up because I just loved getting all the things that I needed that I would use every day in class. I still to this day
have nightmares about showing up in class without notebooks or number two pencils. Really scary
stuff. But luckily I wake up and I realize I don't actually need notebooks or number two
pencils anymore. But this fall there is something that I will be using every day and would be
terrified to be caught without, and that's Raycon's best-selling everyday earbuds. I've been trying to
go on walks every day, and so I need earbuds that I can rely on to listen to all my favorite
podcasts and I know you guys listen to podcasts as well so you know what I'm talking about. I got
my Raycons in carbon black because that's my vibe but they come in other cool colors as well like
forest green and brush violet but my favorite thing about them
is the battery life they stay charged for 32 hours and they have a new quick charge function
so 10 minutes of charging gets you 90 minutes of battery life really freaking convenient for, I don't know, say a long morning walk. You forgot to charge them and
you just need a little bit of juice to listen to one episode of a podcast. It's only going to take
you 10 minutes. It's incredible. So go to buyraycon.com slash too scary today to get 20 to 40% off site wide.

Buyraycon.com slash too scary.
Here we go.
Okay.
So it opens with Robert Pattinson.
What's his name?
Well, at this moment, we don't know.
That's true.
We don't know his name.
He just keeps getting called Lad.
For the first, like, 20 minutes, there's basically no dialogue.
Right.
There's not a lot of dialogue.
But his character is coming in.
Yes.
So people are clearly taking removing someone
else's stuff from the lighthouse and then he's arriving to the lighthouse but willem defoe
has been there willem defoe is like regularly stationed at this lighthouse like he handles
everything he's like the senior in command and robert pattinson is like the the new
person that's going to be helping him for the next month.
And they share a little time.
Four weeks.
Four weeks.
His name is Ephraim.
Ephraim Winslow.
Winslow.
Robert Pattinson's name.
And Willem Dafoe's name is Thomas.
But they don't really call each other by name.
Yeah.
So they share a tiny little bedroom where they both have little twin beds right next to each other.
And the first shot
of willem dafoe is you can't see him he's hidden behind a um kind of like beam yeah and he's just
pissing for a long time into a pot right next to one of the beds just for a long time and then
immediately after he farts and then just farts and there's quite a lot of farts there's a lot of
they're all willem dafoe's farts yeah they're real farts yeah because
he's comfortable this is his lighthouse he's gonna hurt was given a this just in um this just in from
silent jenna who passed me her phone person trivia willem defoe Willem Dafar. That's his name now. We've got Rob and Willem Dafar.
Oh, boy.
Okay, well, Willem Dafar's farts were added in in post-production, if you can believe it.
Shocking.
They felt the need to include that in the interview.
Of fucking course they were.
You thought someone was off camera with a fart machine added in as they shot?
Oh, boy. Genius. But it was like in the script right or was that it was that a post decision you know what this scene needs
a fart that'd be extra funny if they were like in the editing room being like well later
later rob's character he does go like i hate your farts so it's definitely that's part of it but
there's a lot of farting and this is we get our first fart here in this scene um and henley before
we saw it had read a review that was titled this movie is both artsy and fartsy and i thought it
was just being like a snotty review and then i was like like, oh. Oh, it really is fartsy.
It really is fartsy. Really on the nose.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So that happens.
Okay.
That happens.
They like sit down to their first little dinner together.
Wait, is this when Robert discovers the mermaid in his bed?
Is that right away?
Yeah, that is pretty.
Yeah, he sits down on his mattress and feels a hard thing and sees like a little hole in the mattress and digs out a little like wood mermaid little statue.
Little statue.
Yeah.
And he puts it in his.
Is that one in his pocket?
He puts it in his pocket.
He decides he likes it.
He doesn't.
He's like, this will be my lady for the rest.
I was going to say he doesn't furiously masturbate yet.
Right.
And he's going to. No, he's like this will be my lady for the rest I was gonna say he doesn't furiously masturbate yet right and he's going to
and then does he
he's does he start doing just like
hard labor right away well they
have their first dinner first
meal and that's where we find out
that Robert Pattinson
already forgot his name again Winslow
Winslow doesn't drink
because Willem Dafoe pours them
each like a mug of liquor to cheers
and they get in a little like argument about it and he's like I don't drink and well he said he
doesn't drink because the handbook or whatever he read to like learn how to tend a lighthouse
says you shouldn't drink right and doing it so that's why he said he's not gonna drink and
Willem Dafoe's like handbook also says you have to do what i say yeah so and then he goes to the sink and dumps out the liquor
and fills it with water because willem dafoe's like you can't leave a toast bad luck to not
finish a toast and that's my willem dafoe that was really good. And they cheers and Robert Pattinson takes a sip and like immediately spits it out and
it's like disgusting and Willem Dafoe like cracks up and he's like, yeah, because you
didn't clean the pipes yet.
Because one of your jobs is like to tend the water or something.
But yeah, so then I think the next day is when he starts getting into his manual labor.
So then there are just lots of shots of Robert Pattinson doing various manual labor tasks
while Willem Dafoe naps and chills.
Yes, because Willem Dafoe tends the light.
Tends the light.
Which, again, according to the manual,
he probably farts again.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
So he says, he's like, you do the chores.
I don't know if those are the words.
You do the chars.
The light.
And Robert Pattinson is like, or what's his name?
Winslow's like, the handbook set.
I don't know what his accent is, but it's worse.
His accent is wild.
It really veers between Boston.
They have two very different accents.
British.
But I'm going to do the same one because it's the only thing I know how to do.
The handbook says, we alternate the light and wonderful. It gets like crazy. He's like, to do the same one because it's the only thing I know how to do. The handbook says we alternate the light in Will and the Poe.
It gets like crazy.
He's like, I do the light.
He gets very angry.
He gets really angry.
And so the deal is that Winslow has to do all the chores and shit during day
while Will and the Poe sleeps and farts.
And then at night, Will and the Pooe tends the light while Robert Pattinson sleeps.
Yeah, and
during one of
the chores we meet an important
character which is the one-eyed
seagull. Did it only have one eye?
Did I miss that? Yeah.
Oh no, yes. Okay, there's
multiple seagulls. Well, but the
one that's kind of pesky
is the one-eyed one.
And he stands in front of the door.
He's blocking the door while he's like trying to bring in his wheelbarrow full of stuff
into the place.
Coal or whatever.
Yeah.
And he's like in the standoff with...
Good seagull acting.
I really wondered how they got a seagull to perform.
That was part of my trivia.
This seagull did everything they wanted it to do.
Seagull actors.
got a seagull that was part of my trivia the seagull did everything they wanted it to do seagull actors it was three seagull actors and their names were lady tramp and johnny
they're really good and i'm curious about how you train i know i like stamp its little foot too oh
my god and like one time i was like aggressively caw caw and it was like it picked something up
once or something.
I don't know.
It was great.
I would like to point out that clearly Iger's has a thing with birds pecking at you because
that was also the witch.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, true.
And having a big, strong animal character.
We had Black Phillip and now we have, I don't know, White Johnny.
Yep.
Yep.
White Tramp.
White Tramp.
We have White Tramp. White Tramp. We have White Tramp.
And then he turned, he like kind of, you know, tries to get the-
Yeah, Robert's like trying to like make him fly away.
Yeah, he has like a little standoff.
Finally, the bird flies away and he turns around slowly and looks up at the lighthouse
and Willem Dafoe is just standing there looking down at him like clearly pissed that he just
had to stand off with this bird. Yeah.
And then Willem Dafoe brings it
up later at dinner that
night and says bad luck to. Oh we forgot
the toast at the first dinner.
What was the toast? Just to
far weeks. He does this toast.
So when they go to toast with the alcohol
the mugs and Willem Dafoe
gives this whole speech we wish we could remember because he gives it again later.
It's like this.
It's like a prayer, essentially.
Yeah.
I think it's like.
Yeah.
And at the end, he goes to four weeks, which is the first time we learn that they're only
there for four weeks.
Yeah.
Like it's like a four.
At least that Robert Pattinson is only there for four weeks.
Yes.
It's like a four week shift.
Yes.
OK.
Anyway, they're at dinner again.
Willem Dafoe brings up the.
He's. Yeah. yes okay anyway they're at dinner again Will Defard brings up the sequel he's yeah he
says um
what does he say bad luck to kill a
to kill a seabird
oh a seabird yeah a seabird
because the souls of old
sailors live in the seabirds
in the seabirds um that comes
back later
this is the part of the movie that I'm like, Jesus Christ.
Who cares? It's probably who cares.
But is this when Robert Pattinson asks what happened
to the last guy?
Yeah. Something like that, right?
Yeah, and he furiously masturbates
somewhere around this time too.
He really masturbates alone in the room.
And he has his dream.
And he watches Willem Dafoe hump the bed
a lot. And his butt is out. And he has his dream And he watches Willem Dafoe like hump the bed Oh god that part's good
And his like butt is out
And he's like
He has like you know those like
Onesie pajamas with like the button
Cover in the butt
That like children wear
In like Christmas cards
They're like long johns
You wear them under your clothes
So Willem Dafoe is wearing that And the butt flap is open and he's just humping his bed.
And Robert Pattinson is like fixing the roof or something.
So he can like see it through the window and just stares at Willem Dafoe's like butt humping the bed.
Right.
And then he farts.
So before that happens.
Sounds like a joke, but it's not.
So before that happens, he's not so that happens.
He has the dream where he has the Robert Pattinson has the dream where he walks out to the ocean and there are a whole bunch of logs floating in the water.
And then he starts to see something and he starts walking into the ocean and then he sees a body floating
in the ocean and then he keeps walking deeper and deeper until the water's like almost above him
and then he wakes up and there's water dripping on his face and that's when he has to go clean
well he sees the mermaid too does he see the mermaid he goes at a different underwater oh he
goes yeah he goes underwater and he sees a mermaid. He's swimming and then he
wakes up, I think.
He sees a mermaid and then I think
probably after
this is when he asks
Willem Dafoe what happened to the last
guy. Yes, that makes sense.
And he says that
he kind of like
went mad, right?
He died from being crazy.
He went mad and died.
He told me he was like,
he saw mermaids.
He was talking about mermaids.
And like fantasies.
And he just went mad.
Went mad and died.
No other details.
Something ominous and not good.
And is that when Robert Pattinson goes,
tall tales?
Or was that about the seabirds?
It is when he says tall
tales. Tall tales.
But like Willem Dafoe would know.
I know, yeah. I guess
he's saying that he's like teasing him maybe.
Yeah.
They're not getting along great.
I feel like it's important to note that they're not really
getting along. Willem Dafoe's really ordering
him around. This might be the dinner where he was like,
you didn't clean well enough and like
swab again and he's like really
bossing him around. Oh yeah, man.
He's not appreciative of all the work
that Robert Pattinson's doing. Yeah, Robert Pattinson's
like, I've been cleaning a lot and
he's... Honestly, Robert Pattinson is like
keeping the lighthouse together
at this point. He's really doing a lot
of work. Yeah, and Willem Dafoe's just humping the bed.
Humping the bed.
And he yells at him.
And Robert Pattinson says something like,
I didn't come here to do chores like a lady
or something like that.
Yeah.
OK, so then he has to paint the lighthouse.
And Willem Dafoe's holding him.
He's hoisted on a little a little like rope and pulley system.
Yeah. The side of the lighthouse. Yeah. And Robert Pattinson keeps being like, basically, don't drop me.
Don't drop me. And Willem Dafoe's like, I'm going to fucking drop you.
And then he does or breaks the rope, breaks the rope, breaks and he falls and he hits his head.
And then does he have the what happens after that um i can't
remember you know the order of things is it's gonna be kind of a guessing game for all of us
i think but um so the way the lighthouse works i feel like this is important it's like a spiral
staircase like up a lot and then you have to use a key to open a like trap essentially like looking
up at a ceiling that's like a great. I don't know why I'm physically
doing it. No one's here. I'm like
physically looking up at the ceiling. And it's like
and you have to use a key to open this gate
and then you climb up onto the like level
of the lighthouse. So Robert Pattinson
does not have that key. He cannot get up
to the actual lighthouse. We also
know around this time
that Willem Dafoe keeps
a log like a diary essentially of like
goings on at the lighthouse that he also keeps locked up right and it becomes clear that robert
pattinson really wants to get a glimpse of that right diary right cannot because he also keeps
that with him with the keys right so all right so let's say around this time so there's a part where he is going up the spiral
staircase and um because i don't know maybe he hears something and he wants to like see what's
going on and willem dafoe is in the locked part of the lighthouse where the actual light is it's
always very bright so and you see everything in the movie is super dark except for this lighthouse area.
It's important to note.
Everything's lit by like candlelight or.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And as he's looking up, you see a huge octopus tentacle like slithering across the gate.
And.
Sounds of furious masturbating.
And that's pretty much it.
Like it happens.
All the like goop drips down like through the gate. Oh, there is masturbating. And that's pretty much it. Like it happens and like goop drips down
like through the gate.
Oh, there is masturbating.
Yeah.
So he's staring up at Willem Dafoe.
He sees this tentacle and it becomes very clear
that Willem Dafoe is furiously masturbating.
Yeah.
And yeah, some cum drops down onto Robert Hudson's face.
I don't think it actually gets on his face, but I think
you think it's about to get on his face.
It gets by his face. Dangerously close.
It drips down the open grate.
He steps into it like, yeah, get on
my face, Tom. He really acts like that.
The allure of this light is
clearly something very
tantalizing about this light.
Things are getting weird.
Things are getting weird. Things are getting weird.
So then he goes out and he sees there's a dead bird.
Him being Robert Pattinson.
Doing his chores.
Doing his chores.
He always does his chores.
He's very diligent about doing his chores.
I want to put a fine point on that.
Because also Wim Defoe is like, if you fuck around, I'm docking your pay.
Oh, I'm docking your pay.
Yeah.
Right.
And so he goes out and he looks into this kind of water purifying system that they have.
And there's a pretty gruesome image of a dead seagull.
Or no, it's not fully dead.
It's kind of alive still.
Yeah.
Which makes it worse.
And then there's our friend, the one-eyed seagull, like protecting him, basically being
like, get away from my yeah
he like lands on the top of the thing next to the sewage water and he's like calling at yeah
pretty not a good place i'd say yeah it's been a hard time he's had a hard day and he just grabs the seagull and straight up murders
it. He slams it
against the... He beats it to death
multiple times.
We said it's in black and white, but you see
the surface getting
bloody. Oh, there's a lot of blood spatter.
Seagull's blood and then he
eventually... A feather rag
by the end of it. It's really nasty
and bad. He just tosses it on the end of it. It's really nasty and bad. And then he just like
tosses it on the ground, I guess.
And then we go to, and then we're at dinner.
I don't think he gets seen.
But the idea is Willem Dafoe knows, of course.
I think Willem Dafoe knows. We certainly know.
And we heard it's bad luck.
And it's a movie, so we're like, okay.
This is going to be like a turning point.
That's when the wind changes.
Yes, then a storm hits. Yes, yes, this is going to be like a turning point. That's when the wind changes. Yes. Then a storm hits.
Yes, yes, yes.
So then they have dinner that night and they think that is their, I guess it's their second
to last night because they're like, tomorrow's our last day, essentially.
Right?
Right.
So they get, he does drink, Robert Pattinson does drink with Willem Dafoe.
Yes.
And they really go for it.
And this is where
he asks him to call him by his name.
Call me by my name.
He says Winslow.
Call me Winslow.
Yeah. So Robert Pattinson says that. Well it's also when
you realize that they hadn't even really known each other's
names. Right. And Willem Dafoe
tells him his name is Thomas.
And then I think he also asks him he says why you want to
be a wilkie like a lighthouse wiki why you want to be a wiki why you want to be a wiki and he
tells him that he was a a law a logger yes robert penton was a logger in the like pacific northwest
and yeah willem dafoe is like suspicious and he's like oh why'd you stop that?
you're on the run?
yeah he's like
I want a fresh start I'll take any job I hear you make good money
be in a wiki and like I'll just
do this. You make $800 to $1000
a year as a wiki
sign me up
get me a wiki
sugar wiki
so he's just trying to make an honest
living like any good man
just trying to make an honest living like any good man
Willem Dafoe seems convinced by that
I'd say and they have a
nice bonding moment and honestly
if the movie could have ended there
it would have been fucking awesome
this is like fun it's super fun
I feel like Dan would say this is the fun and games portion
this is definitely the fun and games portion and the fun and games portion of the film. This is definitely the fun and games
portion. And the fun and games portion of Act 2.
And then the next day
Robert Pattinson wakes up
and he's on the floor. Oh, he wakes up and does he fart?
Willem Dafoe? Probably.
Willem Dafoe is passed out with his
butt up in the air. Yeah, Willem Dafoe is
sleeping. With shit in his little pots.
Yeah. Willem Dafoe is sleeping
in one portion of the room and Robert Pattinson sleeping sleeping in one portion of the room and robert
parson sleeping on the other portion of the room and they're both just on the ground like clearly
they got so fucked up that they blacked out and fell asleep on the ground yeah so he stands up
and still has to do all his chores all his chores and does all his chores like insanely hung over
like looks like the most miserable person i've ever seen in my life i think it's probably like
pouring rain too it's pouring rain and he goes out and he has because the storm's starting
and yeah so after he killed the bird the wind shift we saw the little wind what do you call
that direction thing yeah yeah exactly that's what it's called it's what it's called and a wind
direction thing it really shifted but it hasn't started storming yet we just got some bad wind and rain and he wakes up
and he has to go to the bathroom but the chamber pots are full so he takes them out and it's
storming like raining really hard and he's you know walking down to clean them out and then
pours them into the ocean and the wind just makes the shit all fly back into his face yep it's not it's not great it's really gross and
it's in this state that he walks back to the house and he kind of sees something on the ground
on the right right right in the corner of his eye and he goes up and it's a body and it's covered
in seaweed woman's body and he like gets on top of the body and he's like taking the seaweed off of her. It looks like she's dead.
And it's
like a very, you know,
like beautiful
marine-like woman, I'd say.
Marine-like woman, yes. Sharp-featured,
marine-like. He
moves his, he moves like the seaweed
off her and like moves his hand down her body.
Really lingers on her nipple.
Oh, pretty sexual. He's horny as hell.
He's fucking horny. As we all know
horny. He like really
takes his time.
It's a long time to go without sex.
And also he's been staring at that sexy
wooden figurine.
Oh my god. He seriously
wanted to chew the mermaid
figurine. Oh yeah.
So he's really taking his time. And then he
notices, oh shit, she's got a tail.
She has like gills on her
ribs. Yeah, he sees the gills and then
music goes like. And then keeps going. I also feel like we need to
address that the whole beginning of the movie, and it
continues throughout. We talked about
at the top how good the sound design is. Yeah,
we forgot to mention that. But we hear the sound of the lighthouse
in the background so often
and it's like this like deep.
Let's all try to do it together.
Yeah.
It's just like and it just becomes a part of like the fit.
You just like it just is a part of the reality that like every so often you hear that sound.
Zan Zan is so effective.
So good.
Yeah.
So, yeah, he like you see him like see the gills
and i feel like we hear the lighthouse sound or like some sort of crazy right sound and then yeah
she's got does he see her vagina he's no the vagina's later the vagina's later and it is
sorry wild buckle up um the vagina is a big vagina it's enormous it's an enormous
vagina on a mermaid?
We've got answers. It's right on the front and it's
fucking huge.
Massive.
Steve's a huge mermaid. He sort of freaks out.
He freaks away. He freaks away.
She wakes up, looks at
him, smiles and
like screams.
Screams? Screams.
And starts laughing. Laughing really hard.
It is like really scary.
Like a witch cackle almost.
It's like really jarring.
Like a siren.
He runs away.
She is a siren for sure.
And yeah, he runs away.
Very freaked out.
Runs away.
So then it is their true final night.
I don't think we see another night with them.
I think the next shot is them standing on the edge
like waiting for the boat. Yes, exactly. And they have a shit ton of water in their face and they're just waiting. think we see another night with them i think the next shot is them standing on the on the edge like
waiting for the boat exactly they have a shit ton of water in their face and they're just waiting
they think that they think that they're being picked up they go outside to be picked up and
it like mirrors the beginning when um uh robert penston came on and he like they were like standing
on the rock and he comes on and they stand there and it is fucking raging outside.
Crazy storm.
They're like the water is insanely choppy.
There's no way there's a boat getting through.
They stand there for a while getting like pummeled by rain.
And then eventually they go back inside because they're like the boat's not coming.
Yeah.
And then Willem Dafoe.
And then Willem Dafoe starts like rationing.
Right.
And oh, and he like yells robert pattinson for like not having
been rationing the whole time and he's like why would we ration we're gonna get picked up soon
and he was like one time well and phyllis was like no like you we could be sick here for like
seven more weeks right he said seven months seven months and right and our pets just get pretty
freaked um it's bad things are looking bad this is when things start to get
pretty crazy
pretty crazy
and when Robert Pattinson
this is when the drinking
really ramps up
they start drinking
a lot
and Robert Pattinson
starts like drinking
straight from the bottle
it's not just one more
it's several more nights
like you see Robert Pattinson
continue to do chores
I guess they're just like
wasting all the time
from here on out
you see them continue to like have meals I guess they're just wasting all the time from here on out. You see them continue to have meals together,
to drink a lot together, to...
Maybe this is where the lobster conversation happens.
And they're just scene after scene of them
being incredibly fucked up together.
And angry with each other.
And there's one part where Willem Dafoe
digs a hole out front and brings up a big case.
And it's all alcohol.
And he says, more rations!
As though they're basically out of food.
We're saved.
They just have bottles and bottles and bottles of alcohol.
And this is when you see things like Robert Pattinson continue to do his chores.
However, instead of bringing coal back to the lighthouse, the wheelbarrow is just filled with water and then one like empty bottle of booze.
Like they're just going out of their minds.
Yeah.
It's like still storming like crazy.
Right.
And the lighthouse is in more and more and more of a disarray.
Their house is starting to sort of fall apart.
And things are happening like they are drinking
together and they're doing the
Yeah. So there's this, I mean, if you
saw the trailer, there's this scene where they're
in their little bedroom. Each of them
have their backs leaned against their own cot
facing each other.
And I don't know who starts it, but
one of them goes, well, let's just do it.
Sammy, should we do the scene? Yeah. Okay.
What?
What? What? What? of them goes well let's just do it sammy should we do the scene yeah okay what what what what
what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what
that goes on for a little time that's pretty much the scene that was impressive they're they're like
really upset and crazy and clearly drunk and that happens
for really and it's funny i feel like we haven't totally highlighted how very funny this movie is
it's really funny really funny and i mean they do have some nice moments in this kind of descent
into madness they cut there's a part where they're dancing they like slow dance and they have their
heads on each other's shoulders it has like um like jump cuts through their evenings as they
like get drunker and drunker and it starts with
them kind of like
jumping around dancing and then cut to
their slow dancing like holding each other
and then they like almost
kiss. It really seems like they're
they've been there for a long
longer than a no no November for those keeping
up. And then they get
into a fight because they're mad that they almost
kissed. Yeah and then
around this time too I guess they get into a fight because they're mad that they almost kissed. Yeah, and then around this time, too, I guess, they get into a fight.
I guess Willem Dafoe cooks.
That's the one chore he does, I guess, is he cooks the third dinner.
And Robert Pattinson makes some comment about not liking the cooking.
Well, I think Robert Pattinson kind of explodes and he's like, I hate your farts and I hate your cooking.
Oh, yeah, I hate your farts.
He gets really mad at him.
Well, no, what he says is he says
um oh I want
a steak what I would give her a steak
if I had a steak I would fuck it
oh yeah I would fuck it
and then and then he's like
you don't like my cooking
feelings are really genuinely hurt
I feel like he like really plays like
I thought you liked my cooking like he's like really
sad and then he's like well you like, I thought you liked my cooking. Like he's like really sad. And then he's like,
well,
you like my lobster,
right?
You like my lobster?
And Roman Fenton's like,
no.
And then Willem Dafoe freaks the fuck out.
He flips out.
He tells him he hopes he dies.
He hopes Neptune strikes him down.
May Neptune strike you.
May Neptune strike you down,
Winslow.
And then,
and then our president goes, have char right then I like your lobster
I like your I like your lobster I like your lobster and is that when Wimpsville goes
I'm I'm quickly changing my tune I think this movie is perfect um it's great I love it so
maybe this is the day
after that they wake up and their their house has like seriously flooded they're like again hung over
and probably still wasted their house is flooded from the storm everything's like sort of floating
along and i think then it sort of drains away right so they're not like in water for the rest
of the movie but like it causes the log that willem dafoe has been keeping to get floated out
of its locked cabinet and and robert parson is able to read it and you see him reading it he
gets really upset and he confronts willem dafoe because apparently the log said that he like
wasn't working hard enough and shouldn't get paid his full amount. And Robert Pattinson gets really fucking pissed and like screams at him about it.
Yeah.
Infronts him.
And then Willem Dafoe is like, well, you haven't been doing anything that I say.
I've been telling you to ration for like weeks and you haven't been doing any of that.
Isn't that when he starts gaslighting him?
Yes.
And then.
Oh, but then when was the chasing with the axe?
That's later. Is it later? Because I feel like in this moment, he's like when was the chasing with the axe that's later is it later
because i feel like in this moment he's like you chased me with an axe remember he like gaslights
him in that way too oh willem dafoe chases robert pattinson with an axe i think maybe the night
before they're drunk i don't remember why this happens but they have an axe and willem dafoe
like chases as i think like a joke he chases robert Pattinson with this axe or not a joke I don't know
but in this gaslighting scene
there's a big gaslighting this movie is fucking crazy
in this big gaslighting scene
he basically like tells him
yeah like you haven't been rationing you haven't done
any of your chores
and he was like and you remember
you chased me with an axe you're losing
your mind and that's when we
as an audience are like oh Willem Dafoe is fucking with him.
Yeah.
Right.
And it's not okay.
It's very much like, who is crazy?
Because we saw Willem Dafoe do it.
And he's also too drunk.
So he's like, he can't parse it out.
Something that Robert Pattinson says in the very beginning when he first refuses to drink that very first night something that he says is like alcohol makes
men stupid or something like that
and Willem Dafoe really laughs at that
and
he proves his own point because he falls
for all the like shenanigans that
Willem Dafoe is pulling on him. So Willem Dafoe really gaslights
him
um
he goes
so one thing that happens is Robert Pattinson steals a knife.
And, um, I think because he realizes that Willem Dafoe might be dangerous and so he
needs to protect himself.
So he steals a knife.
Um, they get very fucked up again together.
And, um, Robert Pattinson is lying in Willem Dafoe's lap and his head is in Willem Dafoe's
lap.
And they're both just kind of like rocking back and forth.
And Robert Pattinson is like, I need to tell you like I need to tell you something.
Basically, in Willem Dafoe's like, don't tell me like I don't want to know.
And that's when he reveals his thing.
He says, I'm my name is also Thomas, which is fun.
And this is the part
that was based on truth
truth that there was actually
I don't know a lighthouse somewhere
with two Thomas's
two Thomas's and one
of them died
yeah so this is
the moment the whole film ended up being
built around
this reveal
so he says, my name
is also Thomas. And
who remembers the exact details
of the story? When he was a logger,
he basically, he didn't kill someone. He
let someone die. He said it was basically
like an accident where
the guy was supposed to be
moving a
log. Oh,
and I'm just putting this together now that
that's why his dream. There's so many logs
in the body
which is this other man. Yes, I
didn't. God.
But that
basically the man drowned
because the logs were there that he didn't
move. That Robert
Pattinson didn't move. So he was
essentially responsible
for the death of a fellow lawyer which is why he went on the run but then it becomes
questionable because why would you go on the run if it were really an accident right well and wasn't
winslow that guy's name the name he's been giving yes he assumed his identity real name yes he goes
like i'm actually thomas I killed this guy, essentially.
Right.
Right.
They are really drunk, super drunk.
This, I think, is when...
So he had already tried to get into the lighthouse with the knife.
Didn't work.
Then, because I remember getting...
If you've been listening, if I'm keeping up, I don't like knives.
And when a knife...
When I see a knife get pocketed, I'm like, oh, no.
What's going to happen with this knife?
But in this weird...
Don't see Joker. Scene, I won't see it no thank you um wildefoe take finds his knife in his pocket takes
it out and like goes oh we should we don't need this and he steps on it to like break the blade
oh interesting the knife thread has been taken away diffused um diffused yeah i think robert
pattinson just like hands it over too. Yeah.
He's like so pathetic and he's like
really reveals his truth.
He's sad. Then they go to
sleep. Is this
when Willem Dafoe starts going? Yes.
Don't you spill the beans. Yes.
So they go to sleep maybe.
And this is when I was like, okay, it's gonna be
a scary movie now. They go to sleep
and we hear, Robert Pattinson starts to hear, and I'll cue you in, Sammy. She's ready like, okay, it's going to be a scary movie now. They go to sleep and we hear Robert Pattinson starts to hear,
and I'll cue you in, Sammy, because he's ready to go.
And it's like from far away and sort of in this weird,
it sounds like almost echoey.
Robert Pattinson wakes up and doesn't see Gwendolyn Foe, but hears,
Why'd you spill your beans?
Why'd you spill your beans why'd you spill your beans why'd you spill your beans
wow that's a lighthouse sound so there's like it's getting spooky and weird like where is he
coming from where's his voice coming from why does he it's and it's also like again why this
movie is so funny because it's a very scary moment
but also to use the phrase,
why did you spill your beans is very absurd.
Also, the A24 released a lighthouse emoji pack,
we should say,
and there's a can of spilled beans in the emoji pack.
Also, is that how far the phrase
spilled the beans goes back?
Because, wow.
Yeah, I guess so. i guess so um this film
is historically accurate it probably is probably i think they do a shit load of research for the
witch too like everything like he loves it so what happens now we're hearing this call why
do you spill your beans is it just the like grave outside? Does he just start trying to bury him? Yeah, I guess.
How does that come about? I guess.
Well, Robert Pattinson finally really stands
up for himself. Yeah, so we hear this
like, why'd you spill your beans?
Robert Pattinson, I guess, gets up and tries to find
Willem Dafoe. They end up in a fist fight?
And the lighthouse is such
a fucking mess. Like, it is destroyed.
I mean, it was like flooded. The house is crazy.
It was destroyed. But they get into a fist at some point, they get they get into a fucking fist fight yeah they're fighting and that's when he like
turns into an octopus for a second right like becomes an octopus he becomes like poseidon he's
like yeah he has like tentacle arms yeah and he's laughing hysterically it's just one charm around
robert pattinson they really don't address the fact that like twice in this movie we all of a
sudden see tentacles and then they're just like gone.
It's obviously like,
you know,
a penis.
It's obviously a penis.
Obviously the Eggers brothers have a thing for tentacle porn.
Ooh.
Obviously.
Was that a fart noise?
And farts.
So.
Barbara Pattinson
winning
he's a much younger
stronger man
he wins
he beats the shit
out of Willem Dafoe
this is like maybe
when his arms are out
his arms are I think
out
great arms
and then he goes
to
bury
well so then he puts
a rope around
Willem Dafoe's neck
oh yeah
and walks him out
I fucking forgot about this
yeah walks him out
like a dog
I don't remember it you don't remember this
oh my god so yeah so robert pattinson beats the shit out of him and then the next thing we see
is robert pattinson is walking on to fall out when foes on a leash around his neck
on all fours like a dog patson is like the good dog you're a good dog and he is like
i'm a good dog and like walks him out puts him
makes him he tells him to sit in the hole
right right before this had happened
he had beaten Willem Dafoe's face
in and Willem Dafoe's like
crouched on the ground in the fetus position
and Robert Pattinson just starts going
bark like telling him to bark
and Willem Dafoe starts barking
yeah
and then he puts the rope around his neck and walks him out.
So he walks him out to the hole that they first discovered the booze in, the rations.
He tells Willem Dafoe to go in the hole and lay down.
And he does.
And he starts burying him alive.
While Willem Dafoe does some kind of speech.
He's doing a little monologue.
He's giving a monologue.
It's a good senior thesis.
I was quite captivated by this shot
because there's just all this dirt
going in Willem Dafoe's face
and in his mouth and he's kind of like chewing it
as he talks and I was like
how did they do this
I'm curious I have questions
I have so many questions
and then he just kind of like
dies right like
oh yeah he dies Robert he like pinson he like he like
he stops moving is he stops moving and he's unconscious and so robert pinson like leaves
it and he's like okay okay cool i'll go back inside and robert pinson is committed to getting
up to that top of the lighthouse and then as he's in well bedroom. I guess he takes his keys at that point to try to go into the lighthouse.
Yeah.
Willem Dafoe runs back into the lighthouse with an axe and axes Robert Pattinson right in the shoulder.
Right in the shoulder.
Because I think he's like, the lighthouse is mine.
It's like fueled by like, you can't go through the lighthouse.
Like you can't, you can't, you can't go up to the light it's mine it's mine yeah like access him in the arm and then robert pattinson just takes the axe because he's bigger and stronger and straight
up just acts as willem dafoe right in the head right through the head and so then he's definitely
dead and then robert pattinson is covered in blood yeah like his entire body is covered in blood. Yeah. Like his entire body is covered in blood.
And he's ready to go to the lighthouse. He's fucking
pumped. He climbs up to the lighthouse.
Finally puts the key in the grate.
Opens it. Climbs
up. He's
at the light.
And then... He stares
into the... He stares directly at the light.
Or whatever. Oh yeah. He like opens the glass
thing around like the light itself. To He opens the glass thing around the light
itself. To stare right into it
and
just moan.
We just get a shot of
Robert Pattinson seeing the light. There's
so much light on his face. He gets super
blown out. Yeah, there's blood
covering his face and now
there's... This is the best part of the performance.
It was amazing. Overexposed and he just starts
maniacally laughing
manic and like he's like
screaming curiously happy and like
overwhelmed I read that his direction
was like you are so
um like satisfied
that it's like
painful yeah it looks it was like
it was like the it's the ecstasy is like becoming painful it's like painful yeah it looks it was like it was like the it's the ecstasy is like
becoming painful it's like too much pleasure yeah that's exactly and that is exactly what he did and
that was super fucking impressive i don't feel like it was a very good performance we forgive
his crazy accent forgive his bad accent and his vomiting for this moment. It was so good. And then.
Cut to.
Cut to.
And this was at night, right?
It's at nighttime when he goes and like sees the light.
Cut to next morning.
The storm's over.
The storm is over.
It's calm.
We see him lying naked on the beach.
On like the rocks.
In a very sensual body position.
Ooh, yeah, with, like, one knee up.
One knee up, one leg out.
Like how you lay when you're tanning.
Still alive?
No.
No.
No, he's still alive.
He's still a little bit alive, I think.
He's alive.
Yeah, he's alive.
He's alive.
That's what makes it so horrifying.
Oh, that's gross.
But his body is being eaten by seagulls.
Yeah, his, like, stomach is ripped open. It's definitely ripped being eaten by seagulls. Yeah, his stomach is ripped open.
It's definitely ripped open.
And seagulls are eating him.
Seagulls are taking their time eating his stomach.
It's disgusting.
That was the most horrifying part of the movie.
And that's the end.
We did skip one part, though, that I just thought of.
Oh, no.
Of course we fucking did.
There's a part where he finds the last intern or whatever guy's head in like a fishing cage and he's like
missing an eye i do not remember this at all and that's why it's like the seagull is like because
seagulls have the souls of yep wow i've missed all of that this movie is crazy. It's crazy. And when do we see the face of the blonde guy again?
We see it just kind of as an intercut.
He kind of he kind of just like when he thinks about it.
When he has sex with the mermaid, I think.
Oh, we forgot about that too.
Fuck.
Well, we talked about it.
But who the fuck cares?
Guys, listeners, call in and tell us what the fuck this movie is about.
I have lots of theories um but none of them seem
that interesting to me look do you guys have theories about what this movie is about i think
it's just truly a descent into madness and just like solitude and like being forced to like
confront yourself and secrecy and boredom and they're kind of hiding away from their, their true selves. And then they're forced to confront them.
The Eggers is,
um,
they seem to just,
they're kind of filming.
They do based on these two things,
both of which I,
Oh no.
One of which I've seen,
um,
is I'm so used to being like,
I haven't seen the movie.
Um,
is just like being fascinated with a moment in time and just like unpacking it so that the films aren't like,
I guess the witch had a plot,
but the films are like,
I feel like the witch had way more to say about the time period than the
kind of religion.
And it does seem like it did.
And a family unit.
So again,
we'll bring up Joel again,
who was our guest on the witch and a,
and a big fan of this filmmaker is,
is seeing the film tonight
the screening that has a
Q&A with Robert Eggers and Willem Dafoe
so maybe we'll add in
if we learn some info from that that is useful
I truly again
immediately after the conclusion of this film
I thought I hated that
then we watched the trailer
today and talked about it and I'm like
I think I love it So I really don't know
I love it
I'm sorry to our listeners that we
I think we did a bad job
But we just saw it yesterday
I think if you see it
Listeners, callers, if you see it
You'll understand
Callers watch the film, listen up
I think you'll understand
It's It's a lot And it's confusing Watch the film. Listen up. I think you'll understand.
It's a lot.
And it's confusing.
It's a lot.
It feels like it all happened at once.
It's just that it's a series of events.
It's not a plot.
It's just like. I think the whole movie happened in one minute of time.
Like a crazy thing happens after a crazy thing happens.
And it's not like one caused the other.
It's just like, oh, now we're ramping it up.
And it's just getting crazier.
But it was fun.
It was really fun.
Yeah.
I had a great time.
Henley hates when we describe movies as fun.
Henley, your mind has not changed.
Do you still hate this movie?
I mean, I stand with what I said earlier, which is that I'm of two minds about it.
movie I mean I stand with what I said earlier which is that I'm of two minds about it I also think that I stand with what I said right after the film which was um when we were walking out
I said to Sammy I feel like this movie was just about how badly men want to orgasm all the time
I think that's a that's an interesting topic I do think that that might could yeah and then Sammy
said I I followed it up with like
oh I was thinking how I
want to fuck Willem Dafoe all of a sudden
yeah we really went into this
movie thinking I want to fuck Robert
Pattinson left
oh I forgot to note that
um I forgot to note that Willem
Dafoe looks exactly like
Van Gogh's postman
if you guys are familiar with that painting that's who he kept how old is Willem Dafoe looks exactly like Van Gogh's Postman. If you guys are familiar with that painting.
That's who he kept.
How old is Willem Dafoe?
I was going to say old enough.
Old enough to fuck.
Old enough.
Sammy has an age limit for fucking and it's over 65.
Is he over 65?
Do we think he?
No.
No way. He must be like 50 he's spry
i think early 50s i'm gonna say 58 i think he's older than early 50s older than 58
willem defoe willem i'd say 64 thank you y'all um old enough 64 64 yeah that's older than i thought old enough would still he does look good
would still fuck would we'll do a poll no it's crazy i've never been sexually attracted to
willem dafoe ever but you were in my last movie i don't know it's weird i can't explain it well
i can explain it you have to be sexually attracted to someone in everything you watch yes but robert
parson would be the obvious choice. And I am
to him as well, and I wouldn't
kick him out of bed. Wouldn't kick him out of bed.
But, no.
With his farting and all of his farting.
Jenna just reminded me about Willem Dafoe's farts.
Willem Dafart. Willem Dafart.
No.
Oh my god, farts are funny.
They just are.
Guys, look. This movie was wild. Hanley and I were really brave. We went to go see it. Oh my god farts are funny Um they just are Guys look
This movie was wild Henley and I were really brave
We went to go see it
What a waste of fucking time
Wow Henley is back on hating it
I might see it again
I love it
I'll say this after being brave enough
To go see what I thought could be a scary movie
And then it wasn't I'm sort of like will I go see a scary movie now
I sort of feel like
And I do think a year ago We haven't been doing this podcast for a
year.
I do think a while ago I would have been more scared by this movie or more
disturbed.
Right.
So I do think I am better equipped to handle building a tolerance through
even just auditory exposure.
And I will say we're, I'm not going to say what it is
You'll have to stay tuned
But next week's
Movie is going to be one of our
Scariest all time. I'd say the next two are
Going to be really scary. It's like they're collective
Like we all feel like
Some of the all time scariest
Yeah we got some
Sorry for this confusing weird episode
But some scary shit is coming up.
See the lighthouse.
Call us with your thoughts.
We're desperate to know what everybody thinks about this movie.
I loved it.
Any closing thoughts from from the group listeners?
I think you should go see it because I don't think we did it justice, but it's fucking good.
It is really good.
And it is very unique. And it is like not too scary. I don't think it's fucking good it is really good and it is very unique and it is like not
too scary i don't think it's not too scary it's definitely not too scary it's fascinating there
it's it's very unique i think it is worth seeing for that reason yep um that's it right yeah we
love you guys so much thank you so much for listening so much thank you we were trying to
do something a little different we're having some fun with ourselves
