Bonus episode number two for the month of July. Ooh, baby. Here we are.

We've arrived. And you guys helped us pick our bonus episode for this second bonus episode of July. And we were doing a little theme of creatures and monsters. Threw a little poll up on the Patreon. And you picked The Mist, which is an excellent choice. Ooh! And I'm very excited to talk about it. I'm very excited to hear about it. What do you know about it, Emily? Almost nothing. Like,

maybe literally nothing. Great. Creatures are involved, I would imagine. That's safe to say. And there's a lot of mist. I love fog. How do you feel about fog,my um i also love fog i love most weather other than wind if it's too windy yes i hate wind i don't like it i hate wind wow it gets

stuff in your blown in your face and your hair just gets all blown around and it's like the air is really dry and sometimes it makes your ears hurt I hate wind but I like mist I like fog I like how like moody it is and often if it's misty and foggy it's like

very calm outside and I imagine that's not totally the case in what I'm about to hear but Jenna has positive associations with mist. Yeah, we'll see if that remains the case post

hearing about this movie. Gotta say that this is one of Jenna's favorite movies. She has been trying to get us to do this one for a long time, so she's very thrilled that we're doing it now. So, thank you to everybody

for picking it from Jenna. XO from Jenna. XO, Jenna. I don't even know. Yeah, I don't know when it came out. I don't know who's in it. Is it Stephen King? No. Yes? No. Yes! Okay. Yeah, okay. So, let me tell you about it. It came out in 2007.

It is written and directed by Frank Darabont based on a novella by Stephen King. A novella. A novella. I always laugh. What does a novella by King mean? Like so 400 pages? Yeah. Just like a regular book.

Yeah. Just a regular book. Where the font is like so small you need a magnifying glass. No. It's a novella. It's a novella. It's a novella. Look how small it is. Teeny tiny.

It is starring Thomas Jane of Deep Blue Sea fame, Marsha Gay Harden, Lori Holden, Andre Brower, Toby Jones, William Sadler, Jeffrey DeMunn, and Francis Sternhagen. It's a pretty good cast and everyone's pretty good in it. I mean. Did you say what year it came out? Sorry. 2007. Oh, that's more recent than I thought. Yeah. I thought this was like 90s.

Yeah, I kind of did too, but 2007. Okay. Frank Darabont is the guy that did The Walking Dead. Oh, okay. The Walking Dead. I feel like I put the emphasis. The Walking Dead.

Got the wrong part there. And so a lot of this cast is, will return and collaborate with him again in The Walking Dead. The Walking Dead.

Oh, that's cool. The Walking Dead. The Walking Dead. And it is available to rent right now for $3.99 most places and $3.80 on Amazon. What? So if you want a little discount. Save 19 cents, baby.

Thanks, Jeff. He did one good thing. Yeah, he did one good thing. He cut off 19 cents on the price of the mist. Some trivia for us. Stephen King says that he was genuinely frightened by this adaptation of his novella. And Frank Darabont described that as the happiest moment of his career. That's got to be pretty fun, I guess.

Yeah. I turned your thing into something that scared you. I would love to scare Stephen King. Me too. Let's find out where he lives. What I mean is I just love to scare Stephen King. Me too. Let's find out where he lives. What I mean is I just want to spook him. Let's go spook Stephen King.

During an action scene in the film, a man runs into a wire rotating bookshelf in the grocery store and if you look carefully, you can clearly see that all the books on the shelf are written by Stephen King. Kind of fun. That is fun. And this is the third film that Frank Darabont has adapted from Stephen King's work.

The other two are The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile. So first horror one, I would say. Is this very stupid of me that I didn't know that those were Stephen King? Is this very stupid of me that I didn't know that those were Stephen King? No, it is weird that he's also written some completely non-horror things. He also wrote Stand By Me, I believe. Holy shit. Yeah.

I thought he literally only did horror. He does some more drama. And Green Mile, at least, has some supernatural elements, but I don't think the other two do. I've never seen any of those. Which is pretty crazy. I would say see Stand By Me if you're going to see any of them. Not Shawshank. I think Shawshank's a little overrated, personally. But I saw it much

later in life. Also, later in life. It's just, for me, I just, I've never wanted to put myself, I'm just like, do I want to, do I want to inhabit that world? I don't know that I do.

I know that it will be emotional and uplifting and blah blah but sometimes I'm like I just don't want to feel all that. Yeah. I really like the green mile. I'd say that would be my second one but I haven't seen that in... Wow folks you heard it here first. Sammy hates Shawshank Redemption.

I don't know why I just didn't like it that much. I mean I liked it but I'm like I won't be seeing it again Wow Unless someone like really sits me down And is like you must have really Missed it the first time

You watched it and you have To watch it again Interesting I feel like once was enough for me Wow Oh and then yeah so jeffrey de munn melissa mcbride laurie holden juan gabriel pareja sherry dvorek sam whitworth and tiffany morgan are all actors that are in this that then will appear in the walking dead cool thomas jane was the first actor that Frank Darabont sent the script to. I imagine

he was a huge Deep Blue Sea fan. And he also wanted Thomas Jane to play Rick Grimes on The Walking Dead. Whoa! I guess I could see it. Why not? I wonder why he said no. That's like a huge role that he must have turned down. Yeah, man.

If he said no, he's regretting it. I bet he's kicking himself for that. I got to look at what Thomas Jane looks like right now. Oh, I guess. Yeah, I could see it. I haven't seen The Walking Dead, to be fair, but he's got that that. You know what I mean? Andrew Lincoln has just I mean, you know, when someone is the character, it becomes hard to picture someone else as the character.

So I feel like Andrew Lincoln is a very good Rick Grimes, but I fell off The Walking Dead. I watched the first few seasons and it just keeps going and going. Oh, Andrew Lincoln. I like his face. Andrew Lincoln, I like his face. Like, I was about to be like, he's hot. And he is, but what I really actually mean is I just, I like his face. Do you know what I mean? I do.

Some people have, like, faces that are just nice to look at. His face is pleasing to my eyes. Okay, I'm sorry. This is not relevant to I'm looking up Andrew Lincoln did you know that his birth name is not Andrew Lincoln

do you know what his birth name is? tell me I don't know if I can even say it it's not that funny but it just really shocked me his name is Andrew James Andrew James Clutterbuck.

You don't want to keep it Clutterbuck, huh? How is the last name Clutterbuck? What is that? That's very funny. He's British. Clutterbuck. How do you say that? Clutterbuck.

Clutterbuck. Clutterbuck. Andrew Clutterbuck. Andrew Clutter Andrew clutter book wow I would oh my god that really shocked me I'm sorry I just saw the word clutter bucket just look at it written sometime just look like write that word down and then look at it and it's crazy like I love to learn okay back. Back to this movie. Yes. So Thomas Jane sat in for the editing process because he was interested to learn about it. And as an editor, that just really stresses me out.

I hate people watching me edit more than anything. Especially when you're watching someone edit yourself. Like you're obviously going to have opinions about like, oh, no, use this one or like, oh, you know, like that's. Yeah. You're obviously going to have opinions about like, oh, no, use this one or like, oh, you know, like that's. Yeah. But I guess Thomas Jane was about to embark on his directorial debut. And so he wanted to learn the process.

And the editors said that he was a delight to have in the editing room. So I guess he wasn't a dick about it, which would be pretty crazy. But it'd be crazy to request to be in the room and then make it awful for everyone. Anyways. And this just made me laugh. This is Frank Darabont's shortest film to date, or at least whenever this trivia was written. I don't know. Maybe it's had a shorter one since then. But this movie is two hours and nine minutes long.

So, oh, buddy, you got to do shorter. That's not you can't. This being the shortest one. But I guess it makes sense that Shawshank and Green Mile are are also are very long that that rings a bell right yeah that also is probably why i've always just been like no it's so much to ask it it's so much if you're over two hours and 15 minutes i'm like almost never gonna watch yeah your movie because i have to start early enough that it's like i'm not gonna start a three-hour movie at nine I have to start early enough that it's like, I'm not going to start a three hour movie at nine o'clock.

That's madness. That's insane. That's why you're never going to watch Magnolia. It's so long. Oh God. But I got to see that tiny ponytail. I mean, Tom Cruise is magnificent in it, but it is one that I had on VHS and it was a two VHS movie.

Now, that being said, I have seen the extended editions of Lord of the Rings more than once so what the fuck am I talking about? But, you know. Just a different kind of vibe. It's different when it's like fantasy action. I think we should skip the trailer

because I think going into this blind is going to be more fun. Okay, that's fun. Let's do it. I'm like very blind too. In the past few years, I have hit a point where I only want to be wearing clothes that are comfortable. It happened. It happened to me. But you know what? I still also want to look cute. And these are two desires that are often extremely opposing. what? I still also want to look cute. And these are two desires that are often extremely opposing. And I don't want to have to sacrifice. I want both. I want comfort and I want to feel cute and confident. And guess what? Skims has freaking done it again with their soft lounge collection.

I am currently very, very obsessed with, I have the soft lounge tank and boxer set. Okay. This tank, it's a great little rib tank. Classic. You can wear it every day. You can pair it with jeans. You can wear it out in the world, or you can wear it with this little boxer short that is so comfortable. It is super, super soft, lightweight rib. They're great. I also truly have been for years stealing Joel's boxer briefs to wear as sleepwear and loungewear. And guess what? That ain't cutting it. I'm not feeling too cute in those. I'm not feeling too comfortable. But Desperate Times, however, Desperate Times know more because Skims has done it. You too can get on board with this.

There's a painting of the thing movie poster. He's painting something that I think is some reference to another Stephen King book as a little tongue-in-cheek thing. So we learn that he's a painter and then a storm rolls in. A big storm starts

lightning and thundering outside and his wife and son run into the room with him and they all together go down into the basement or kind of like a tornado shelter type thing. And stay there till the storm passes. Next morning, they come back up. And a big tree has crashed through the window of that front room that he was painting in and it crashed right through his painting so his painting is like broken in half and he kind of says to his wife

uh that he's gonna have to extend the deadline for the commission so he's like creating these posters for people and he's like ah they're they're going to get impatient and just whip it up in Photoshop or something like that. I can't remember what he says, but it's just funny to me that he like paints these very intricate movie posters as a job that it never really is mentioned again. I love the jobs of protagonists in movies. Specifically, I feel like horror movies is like maybe one person ever has had that job.

Like one person literally ever has had enough money from painting commissioned movie posters to make a living off of it. But like, honestly, maybe not even. Yeah. Yeah. It's just also very funny when it has no purpose to the plot like there's no reason yeah you could have given him a very normal job but so they say that the tree that crashed in into their house is the tree that they had been asking their neighbor to cut down for a while that had been kind of like looking like it was maybe gonna fall down

and so david says i'm gonna go talk to him get his insurance his wife says you know don't start a fight you know how he gets and he's like i'm not gonna start a fight just gonna get his insurance and he does he goes very he's like very nice to the neighbor that uh neighbor is uh andre brower and we quickly learned that he's like a very litigious he was a either a judge or a lawyer and he's very much they're like treading lightly with him because apparently he loves to sue people and they're like well you're you're a tree crashed into our house like can we just get your insurance? And the neighbor, he's pretty nice about it. I can't remember his name.

I think he's called Andre Brower. I'll call him Andre Brower. They're just kind of assessing the damage everywhere. His house is fucked up, too. And they have a boathouse that has also been completely, like, smashed. And they're just kind of assessing the property and david says he's got to go into town to get some tools to start fixing things up and andre brower says that he he'd like to tag along he needs stuff too and they bring david's son billy and they all drive into town to head to the town grocery store.

And this is in Maine. This is near where all of Stephen King's things are set in the fictional town of Castle Rock. But I think this is actually just outside of Castle Rock. It's like an even smaller town. of Castle Rock. It's like an even smaller town. And as they're driving to the grocery store, they pass a bunch of

army trucks heading the other direction like military vehicles with a bunch of soldiers all decked out and kind of are just like wonder what's going on with them. Never a good sign. And Andre Brower says something like oh uh

one of the women i one of the women at the laundromat the other day said they've got some crashed flying saucer down there at the base and alien frozen alien and then they arrive at the grocery store and they and there's a lot of characters in this movie so i'll try to try to differentiate them enough and i'm gonna gloss over some that don't matter so much so we've got the a cashier named sally she's young and pretty and she's their uh apparently babysitter he walks in and says hey sally uh sarah and i that's his wife i've just made up her name i think it might be sarah but might not um and she's like sarah and i wanted to go on a date uh later this week could you watch billy and she's like yeah no problem so we're getting small town vibes like everyone knows each other and we see ollie is the assistant manager of the store and him and david are also kind of uh friends like they are friendly with

each other they know each other uh this is toby jones and as he's kind of bagging groceries and they're walking past him a woman named mrs carmody walks in and kind of makes some snide comment about i don't know she's just in a bad mood and kind of being rude to people this is marcia gay harden and ollie and david kind of give other a knowing look like this is the town kind of bitchy lady. Or the lady that we all kind of avoid.

The town bitch. The town bitch. Oh god, the town bitch just walked in. Oh man. And then three military guys come in and they're kind of whispering to themselves saying you know the bus leaves in 30 minutes we gotta hurry get what we need in hurry so we're getting the impression that the military kind of knows something that's going on that other people are not in the know about. We meet Mrs. Replor, who is an older woman that's very nice to David and Billy,

just another kind of friend from town. And there's also a lot of out-of-towners in the grocery store. The grocery store's pretty full. It's probably 80 or so people. And as they're all kind of at the checkout lines, a bunch of cop cars and fire trucks start speeding by with the alarms going off. Billy says, Dad, is Mom okay?

What's going on? David's trying to calm Billy down. Like, it's fine. It's fine. And then the outdoor emergency alarm starts going off. They're like, boo. Have you ever been in a place that has that yes not never quite so scary is that the only the closest thing i can think of is the like

lightning alarm like uh growing up in south florida sometimes we would get the like lightning is really nearby alarm for like anybody who's in their pools or like yeah um that's but never like like i associate that sound with like at least from movies with like a tornado is coming that scares the shit out of me every time there'd be the lightning one you'd mainly just be at least for me you'd be like oh man fun's over right gotta go inside not like you might die right yeah they had this alarm in san francisco and they would run a test of the emergency outdoor alert system every week for like being in a big city yeah and i and i remember that it was just it was every week it was all the time that's crazy then you'll never believe it when it happens well it would say it would say it would have like also a voice on a loudspeaker saying this is a test of the emergency outdoor alarm system or whatever

but just in watching this i was like oh yeah i forgot that those exist because they definitely don't have that here in la or at least if they do they're saving it for when it counts yeah how would they even in this like where would it have to come from? I mean, they do it on our phones now, I guess. That's true. You know, I feel like lately we've gotten a lot of emergency alerts via cell phone alert. Yeah, that's true. Scary sound. It's a scary sound.

And then a man runs in. His name is Dan. And he runs and he's got a bloody nose and some blood on his shirt. And he's screaming, there's something in the mist, in the mist it got it took john lee and as he gets in he starts saying like close the doors close the doors and everyone seems like whether they were like what's this guy's deal a little everyone's confused and then we see the person we like know another town local or no uh i think so yes i think david knows him but everyone's kind of looking outside so this like a you know uh in this grocery store the whole front of the grocery store is glass so you can see out everywhere

it's just like you can see the full outside so So they're all looking in that direction, and we see mist rolling in. And there are people outside kind of pushing their shopping carts to their cars, and as it moves past them and they kind of disappear into the mist, you see the people inside the grocery store looking in anticipation of what's

going to happen and then you do hear screams and just screaming outside and so everyone just kind of freaks out closes the doors and the mist rolls in completely making it so that they can't see anything outside of the front of the store and they're all looking at each other wondering what the fuck is going on and then the whole building starts shaking like a big earthquake type thing and it's knocking things off shelves people are falling over and screaming screaming and then uh it stops and a woman stands up and says um i can't stay here i've got to get home to my kids like i just left my kids while i ran to the store like i need to get home and uh ollie is kind of taking a little bit of charge in the store and says, ma'am, I think we should stay here. Like Dan said, something might be in the mist. I think until we have a little bit more information, we should all just stay here just to be safe. alone. Like, I can't leave my kids. And she turns to everyone and says, won't somebody help see me home? Like, isn't anybody going to help me get home to my children? And nobody volunteers. And

she kind of looks shocked and upset. And she's like, okay, well, I'm going. And they open the door. She tiptoes out and just kind of disappears into the mist and we don't hear anything, but everyone's just looking after her kind of. OK, well, I hope she's OK. That's such a crazy ass to be like, I'm going to go out. Anybody going to come with me? No. What? You you don't have to do this.

It is crazy. me no what you you don't have to do this it is crazy it's like lady we don't like i get that you got to be with your kids but people in this store have kids too like yeah i don't gotta go with you yeah yeah agree so someone else that's in this store is a woman named amanda who i think that it seems like david has kind of a flirt with, but he also is like very clear about how much he loves his wife all the time. So I don't know. Maybe they're just friends, but she's an attractive woman his age. And she kind of getting like a small group forming and she's kind of joining the group, kind of also trying to calm Billy down. group kind of also trying to calm billy down and now mrs carmody marcia gay harden starts saying to everyone it's judgment day and she's it's like she's a kind of religious

fanatic and she's like it's here judgment day's here we need to all start settling our bets and get ready to meet our maker like this is it and we're all kind of rolling our eyes at her and david says you know any out-of-towners should know that this is the crazy bitch in town this is the town bitch he didn't know the town bitch he doesn't say that he says he's super wondering um but he does kind of say you know take what she's saying with the grain of salt she's always like this and sound bitch uh so the generator has gone off or something like power's gone off so a couple uh a couple people go to the back of the store there's the garage loading area that has that kind of metal roll down garage door.

And they figure out that something's blocking the vent of the generator that is only accessible outside. And Thomas Jane is the first one to go into this garage. And he's there by himself. and he's there by himself and there's something something slowly starts banging on the metal garage door and pushing it in with a good amount of force like it looks like a big thing and he gets scared kind of steps backward out of the garage and goes to a group of guys that's it's ollie and the store manager ollie's the assistant manager the manager and then these two guys in kind of work jumpsuits i can't remember their names but they're just people that were in the store that are kind of helping to take charge and david runs out to this

group and says there's something in the garage and did you guys hear that noise sounds like something big is out there and they're all kind of ollie looks like he's taking him a little bit seriously but the other guys are here like kind of like come on man like it's it there's nothing which is like come on me like i think i think we can all agree that something is a little off uh but so they the five of them go into inspect and then a young cashier like teenage boy cashier comes into and is kind of trying to act tough and also making fun of David. And he's like, oh, yeah, it's fine. And just a lot of male energy of like, we're not scared. This is fine. And David's starting to kind of freak out more and more and ollie is

more on his side than the other guy's side and he's saying like maybe we should listen to david and the teen teen kid says you know i'll go outside it's not a big deal open up the gate enough that i can fit out there i'll go clear the the grate that's the vent and the two guys in jumpsuits in the store manager are like great um yeah let's do that great let's let the kid go and david is again trying to get him to stop saying no no don't go they press it to open the garage about two feet enough for him to be able to slide under the mist starts creeping in in this it looks cool i mean mist is creepy like it's like haunted house mist just moving real slow the fog of just like it looks spooky and it it rolls in a bit and they're all kind of watching as expecting is something going to happen?

And then nothing does. And the two guys in jumpsuit works, work suits or start laughing like, see, there's nothing to worry about. And just then a big ass tentacle reaches under the garage door and grabs the teenage kid by the ankle because he's closest to the door because he was like about to go out grabs him david jumps to grab a hold of him so he doesn't get pulled out and so david is holding him from the top this tentacle is pulling him from the bottom this is a big tentacle and it has like spikes in it too it's like a tentacle with teeth spiky teeth it's very nasty and the kid is screaming in pain like these spikes are stabbing into him as it's trying to pull him out and then as he's in kind of a tugger war with this monster thing. We see a couple other tentacles creeping in on other sides.

Did you say tugger war? Tug of war. I think I did say tugger, but tug of is what I meant. Tug of war. Tug of war. I think it's tug of war. It is a weird phrase. I thought tug of war, but that would be of. Yeah. Tug of war. I think it's tug of war. It is a weird phrase.

I thought tug-o-war, but that would be of. Yeah. Tug-o-war. Not tug. Whatever it is, it's not tugger. That's wrong. It's not a tugger war. It's the best tugger. Let's find out. I mean,

it should be a tugger war. A tugger war kind of makes more sense. Every single podcast, I feel like lately, you're just in real time listening to our brains disintegrate. I don't know how to say or do anything anymore. Okay, great. We're in a tugger war. More tentacles are coming in from different... Are there enough tentacles that it seems like they're from probably different creatures or more from the same? We don't know.

I think it's from one, but it's a big creature. Okay. So they're kind of slithering in like they're exploring the space and everyone is not jumping in to help David. Davidid's the only only one that's trying to save this kid everyone else looks completely shocked and are basically frozen in fear and we see the tentacle that's on the kid pull off and it pulls off a huge chunk of skin with it like a circular chunk like it's suctioned off a circle of skin or something it's very gross and then that same part of its tentacle slams down on the kid's chest so it's that you know it's gonna like pull that same thing off of his chest and it does it rips it off again and it's just taking like circles of flesh off of his body

and he's screaming in pain and david's and he's getting pulled further and further out as this is happening and then another tentacle grabs him and starts pulling him and david's really trying to get him free ollie breaks the safety glass on an axe that's in the garage there we go and as he holds it back or pulls it back as he's about to throw it down the tentacle gets the better of uh that he's the better tugger and david loses grip and so the kid starts sliding down as the axe is coming down and it's just a stressful moment and the kid gets pulled far enough that the axe just hits the ground. But it's like pretty close to hitting him right in the face. And the kid grabs onto the garage door and is clinging on trying to pull back in.

And again, David, God bless him, runs to try to grab him again, even though there's a lot of tentacles now. And I don't think I would be running closer towards them. But David does one last time. And then a huge tentacle that's kind of different than the other tentacles comes in. Mommy tentacle. It's a mama tentacle. And it looks like there's no spiky part on it it's like just um smooth on all edges and it kind of looks as if it's smelling

things like this is the head maybe something and it sniffs around and finds a bag of dog food. And then as it gets the dog food, it opens up and we see it does have the same spiky teeth thing and a lot more of them. It just looks very bad. And it pops open this bag of dog food starts eating that and the two guys that were laughing at david earlier are now like pressing at the garage door thing try to close the door and the door starts closing and we see the teenage kid just gets pulled away he loses his grip. David loses him and he gets pulled away, screaming, disappears into the mist. And as the garage doors closing, all the tentacles pull out except for the main big one, which gets almost all the way out. But David grabs the axe and is able to cut a chunk of it off like a two foot chunk of tentacle.

And then the gate closes and we see this tentacle kind of react like. And then kind of go motionless. Then. Oh, Jim is the name of the guy who was the biggest dick about this whole thing to David, who was kind of laughing at him. And Jim now has just this very shocked look on his face. He's like, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. How was I supposed to know?

How would I know? And David just starts beating the shit out of him. And he's like, I fucking told you. I told you. Like, he's like, well, the kid wanted to go. He wanted to go. And he's like, kids are supposed to be stupid. you're not supposed to be stupid you're the adult and like i was telling you this and you like now i have this kid's blood all over me because of fucking you

um and so they're all standing there and kind of huffing and puffing of this crazy thing that's just happened and david says we can't tell anybody just yet. We need to get a little bit more information that we don't want to cause a panic. Like nobody say anything yet. And so they go back into the main part of the grocery store and Ollie and Jim and the other guy immediately go and grab a grab beers off the shelf and start drinking beer, which I think is pretty funny. They're just like, oh, God, have a beer. That'll help. And David starts saying, who do we think we should tell? Like, who can help the most?

They're basically kind of thinking through each person's story, like, who would be the best person to have on our side to kind of bring this information to? And they decide Andre Brouwer would be a good one and his name is brent i have it written here so they decide they're going to tell brent they pull him over and he's basically like how stupid do you think i am like i'm there's i don't i don't believe you like that's crazy and he said he says david says we got a piece of the tentacle in the garage you can go look at it see for yourself don't take our word for it he's like i'm not doing that we need

to be focusing on getting out of here there's more important things to do i'm not playing into this little joke you guys are playing on me right now like i feel excuse me i have to go figure out how to get out of here and walks back towards the front of the store ollie points out that the whole front of the store is glass and those big tentacles could easily break through that glass once they figure that out and brent is trying then starts trying to gather people to leave saying our best are you know we're sitting ducks here our only chance of rescue is if we go out and get it ourself like if a group of us leave we have a better chance David's trying to discourage this and in

like a last ditch effort to stop people from going out he's like okay we saw we saw a bunch of tentacles in the garage killed the cashier kid you guys can't go out there and again they're all laughing at him like that's this can't

be true and again he says come with me come look at the tentacle and they take a like small group of them and go and look at the tentacle someone touches it with the back of a broomstick and it reacts again as if it like comes back to life again for one last little scare and then it shrivels up and kind of turns into mist like a black oil and mist coming off of it and so then they come out and they're like okay we have we do have a bit of a situation here um and they start basically barricading themselves in and piling up bags of dog food and fertilizer in front of the glass windows. But we know it likes dog food. That's true.

Don't make dog food more accessible. I guess maybe eat the dog food, not us, but we already know what it likes to eat. It's true. Then we cut to Miss Carmody in in the bathroom praying she's lit herself a candle she's praying she's saying you know let me preach your word let me shine your light on me and i can save them they can't all be bad some of them must be open to your teachings and her performance in this is really really good she. She is giving it Oscar worthy. She's giving it her all here.

This scene, I was just like, damn, Marsha Gay Harden is really fucking. She's not phoning this one in. And at this moment, Amanda walks in and says she has to use the bathroom. Miss Carmody looks like annoyed that she's just had her prayer interrupted and kind of gets up to leave. And Amanda says to her, you know, if you if you need anything, I know we're all under a lot of stress right now. This is a really scary situation. If you need a friend, I'm here for you. And Mrs. Carmody says, when I need a friend like you, I'll squat down and shit one out. i need a friend like you i'll squat down and shit one out very christ-like very christ-like um and it just reminded me because this line is included did you ever watch

that youtube compilation of greatest movie insults i don't i don't remember why i've seen this basically it's just a bunch of different movie insults edited together. It's a really good one. And this one's in it. And so I remember it from that. And another one that was in it that we've also seen was in Sleepaway Camp. Eat, shouldn't die, Ricky. Eat, shouldn't live, Bill.

That's really good. that's really good so then brent is again trying to be the rationalist saying we've got to get out of here mrs carmody now is is arguing with him as well saying this is god's will there's no escaping it and she says the good book calls for blood. The cashier kid was first. Now the bill is due as Abraham prepared to sacrifice his only son to prove his love for God. And she's just like preaching and and getting really intense. And as she's doing this, Amanda just slaps her in the face. And Mrs. Carmody grabs her face in shock and looks and there's a little bit of blood coming from her mouth and she presses her finger against the blood and she

says another down payment another penny in the jar like she is just drinking the Kool-Aid it is she is a scary person to be trapped in this situation with i would say i wouldn't love to be in there with somebody who's like well

blood to god yeah i'd be like god no no no uh the mill we see the three military guys huddled together and billy goes up to them asking them if they can call their friends to come and save us they say you know our cell phones phones aren't working i guess yeah so we had cell phones in 2007 their phones aren't working and they can't get in contact with them uh billy's just like very stressed billy i'd say he looks actually a little older than eight probably ten uh okay i was gonna ask and so david's you know holding him comforting him and says it's okay like we're gonna get out of here it's gonna be fine billy's saying is mommy okay like how do we know mommy's not okay and he's like starts crying i'm sorry for when i was when I was bad, when I didn't do my chores or whatever.

Like, it's sad. He's very stressed. And kind of the core group of Ollie and David and Amanda, store manager, are huddled together again, trying to form some sort of a plan. Someone asks, does do you sell guns in the store? Do we have is there weapons that we have? He says, no, we do you sell guns in the store? Do we have is there weapons that we have? Says, no, we don't sell guns. And Amanda pulls a handgun from her her bag and says, like, my husband gave me this first for self-defense. Like, I hate carrying it on me, but I have this with two full rounds of bullets.

So 12 bullets total just for self-defense. Oh, and another line that made me laugh in here when he asks if the store sells guns he says no this isn't los angeles which made me laugh because we also don't sell guns here we don't sell guns in our grocery stores no we don't brent has meanwhile gathered a group of people who have agreed to his plan of going out to seek rescue and the group of about six of them he's like we're going out don't try to convince us otherwise and david says okay like we're not going to stop you but will you tie this rope around your waist so we can love this see how how make sure you get far enough brent won't do it but another guy volunteers and says i'll do it

and i'm not i'm not going with this like this group to seek rescue but i'll go out to get um i also have a gun in my car of a shotgun that could be useful so i'll go out and get that it's like 300 feet away and i'll tie that to my we're gonna get some frayed rope back in our hands and so yeah they tie the gun tie the rope around his waist and as as he's about to walk out he turns to mrs carmody and says by the way i believe in god too i just don't think he's a bloodthirsty asshole shot to that line yeah so he goes out and there's three or four of them kind of letting the rope go further and further kind of uh releasing it as he walks and then as he gets far enough the rope starts whipping real fast and you get that thing where it slices their

palms because it moves too fast and they're trying to grab down to stop it and david grabs like a shirt to wrap around the rope so he stops it stops cutting his hands and they're eventually able or the the rope eventually stops and then goes limp and they start pulling it back in and then as they get it further in it's covered in blood and they keep pulling it so their hands their their bloody hands are now just grabbing this bloody rope they were a little too i feel like i would chalk it up to a loss at the end of this rope they're like too too loosey-goosey with this rope rope with this rope and one of them after having held on to the bloody rope then also puts his bloody hand over his mouth like in a gasp like oh i'm like stop putting stop getting this guy's blood all over everything

but anyway so they pull it in far enough and we see at the end of the rope just a lower half of a body so his whole top half of the body is gone everyone inside starts screaming yeah it's getting dark now mrs carmody is saying like when night approaches, that's when the blood sacrifices will begin. That's when he'll take one. They've begun. Yeah. And we get a sense in here that Sally and one of the military guys have some sort of personal romantic history. He comes up to her. He's like, how are you doing? And they're they're kind of look like they have some sort of personal romantic history. He comes up to her and he's like, how are you doing? And they kind of look like they have some sort of history. And as it gets dark, they start turning on lights in the store. And as they turn on

lights, they hear something outside and a huge insect flies and lands on the window, the front glass of the store. And it's probably about two foot long fly looking thing. It's a huge flying insect. And then more of them start landing on the front glass of the window.

Because the light. And Ollie says they're attracted to the light. Turn off the light. But the says they're attracted to the light turn off the light but yeah the store's a little too big and other other people on the other side of the store don't hear that and so it's jim actually who's turning on more and more lights in the store like turn these on turn these on these are like emergency lights type things so they're really bright and he's turning on more and more and as the people in the front of the store are looking very scared at these insects, then we hear this screech and a bigger creature fly down to eat one of the insect bugs.

That looks it looks like a pterodactyl type thing. It's like a flying. It's like a bird monster thing. And and then these bird things start flying into the window to grab off the bugs but just the impact of them the the glass starts to crack it starts slowly breaking each time one of them flies into the window and eventually there's all sorts of weird shit in this mist and eventually the one of the panes of glass completely shatters leaving a big hole in the front of the store for things to fly in and first the little insects start flying in and oh uh amanda it has like a rake for defense and and hits one of them

down with a rake and stomps on it and she's able to kill it and uh then one flies and lands on sally and stings her in the neck like its little butt comes up and stings her and then it flies off and she grabs at her neck and falls to her knees and the military guy runs up like sally sally are you okay and she's clearly going into some sort of shock having some sort of reaction then we see one land on mrs carmody and she kind of freezes and looks at it and then just prays and says my life my life for you your will be done basically i trust i trust you god do what you must do and the bug kind of slips around or whatever and then flies off and she's like so validated now like yes god is on my side i'm right about everything and then we cut back to sally's neck is now swollen up like a fucking watermelon and she is

dying of like anaphylactic shock or whatever is that what that's called and uh this military guy is basically at her side holding her hand while she dies. And then she does. She does die. Billy at this moment is being watched by another lady in the store. As David and Ollie are kind of running around with sticks and little makeshift weapons that they're trying to kill these things with. They've lit. They've dipped mops in lighter fluid and lit them.

And so they're lighting them on fire. But then as one guy is running with a mop, he knocks over the bucket of lighter fluid and falls into the lighter fluid, dropping his own lit thing on him. So he catches on fire and it's just mayhem inside the store the flying things are in here now uh they land on someone and uh basically rip this guy's throat out uh it's bad and uh bill Billy gets away from the woman that's watching him. She kind of is trying to they're hiding in one of the aisles. And he Billy's like, I gotta get like, Daddy, where's Daddy and runs into the like a middle walkway. And there's one of the big bird monster things basically facing down to facing right at him like it's about to get him

david walks into this same walkway at that moment and sees ollie also walk behind this guy and ollie has the gun and ollie points the gun and david right at the last moment is able to grab billy and jump into a different aisle so that ollie can shoot the bird without also shooting them and is able to shoot and kill that one i think that just they're eventually able to kill all of the um creatures that got into the store but with quite a few casualties on their end as well. And there's still a big hole. And there's still a big hole. I think they probably try to put cardboard over it or

something, but things eventually calm down and they're able to regroup and assess what's happened. And they have the guy who caught himself on fire laid down in the same back room area. He's not dead? He's not dead he's not dead but he is absolutely covered in third degree burns and he is saying where's the gun please kill me he's like

you don't have to do it i'll kill myself like i've never felt such pain like please just kill me kill me kill me and they they won't they're like they're like no we uh there's a pharmacy next door we need to go get medical supplies and we can get um antibiotics and painkillers like you're gonna be okay someone says i think it's ollie who says you want to go you want to leave you want to go out out there to go to the pharmacy and he says well the pharmacy is the first stop and then we need to start thinking about how we're actually going to get out of here because we have our own fucking jim jones in here and that's like going to get worse and we don't want to be in here she's got a few people convinced mrs carmody of her her nonsense and we don't want to be here when she starts getting more people on her side like there's going to be basically there's going to be here when she starts getting more people on her side like there's going to be

basically there's going to be just as much danger in here as there is out there when she starts convincing people that blood sacrifices are the only thing that can save people yeah that is not going to be good not going to be good and this is where they have their big kind of moral talk it's like very there's a lot of dialogue in this movie. And I think it's mostly good, but this is like a little on the nose where Amanda comes in and she says, I will not accept this. People are mostly like inherently, basically good. And it's this very like talk of like, people are good when there are rules and you can call 911. And when you take that away and people are scared, like the breakdown of society happens a

lot faster than you think. So basically their plan is. I used to love back to school shopping so much that I would tell my mom that I wanted to work at Staples when I grew up because I just loved getting all the things that I needed that I would use every day in class. I still to this day have nightmares about showing up in class without notebooks or number two pencils. Really scary stuff. But luckily I wake up and I realize I don't actually need notebooks or number two pencils anymore. But this fall there is something that I will be using every day and would be terrified to be caught without, and that's Raycon's best-selling everyday earbuds. I've been trying to go on walks every day, and so I need earbuds that I can rely on to listen to all my favorite podcasts, and I know you guys listen to podcasts as well, so you know what I'm talking about. I got my Raycons

in carbon black because that's my vibe, but they come in other cool colors as well, like forest green and brush violet, but my favorite thing about them is the battery life. They stay charged for 32 hours and they have a new quick charge function. So 10 minutes of charging gets you 90 minutes of battery life. Really freaking convenient for, I don't know, say a long morning walk. You forgot to charge them and you just need a little bit of juice to listen to one episode of a podcast it's only going to take you 10 minutes it's incredible so go to buyraycon.com slash too scary today to get 20 to 40 percent off site wide that's right you'll get up to 40 off everything on raycon's website when you go to buyraycon.com slash too scary buyraycon.com slash too scary to they're going to start by going to the pharmacy

and then they're going to actually get the fuck out of there. As they're going to head to the pharmacy, they walk to the front store and Mrs. Carmody is standing there saying, you can't leave, you'll bring them right to us and there's a few people now that are definitely following her line of thinking

that are also saying you can't go. Tensions are escalating, people are screaming at each other. And then Mrs. Carmody is like really yelling. And Mrs. Replor, the older woman, throws a can of peas right at her head. Looks like it really hurts. And Mrs. Carmody is like, what the?

Like, you can't you can't do that. And Mrs. Replor says stoning people's fine. They do it in the Bible. That made me laugh and she said basically mrs repler says i've got plenty of cans of peas so either shut your trap and let us leave or or i'm gonna keep keep stoning you with cans of peas and so they they let them leave it's a group of about eight of them or so. It's Mrs. Reppler, Amanda, David, Ollie, Jim,

and, oh, Dan, that guy that ran in in the beginning. And so they group together and head to the pharmacy. They've got the gun and some other makeshift weapons and they get into the pharmacy and it doesn't it looks creepy in there the windows are all

broken in there so the mist is kind of in there not super strong like they can see everything fine but it just looks a lot creepier all the lights are off it's creepier in there than it is in the grocery store for sure they go into the pharmacy and or like hop the hop the little counter to get to the back where all the medications are what time i guess now it's nighttime but it's interesting that there was nobody trapped in the pharmacy well when the mist came in well oh we don't know yet. Have I asked the right questions? Mm-hmm. It seems empty now. Oh. But then as they're in there, they start hearing some rustling and like rattling almost, almost like a rattlesnake.

And you see the ones closest to the noise hear it and start getting really unsettled. David can't hear it. He's a little further away and it's Jim that's closest. And Jim says, you guys, let's hurry it up. I hear something fucking weird. So they get the medications they need.

They hop back over the counter. Then we see Jim look up towards the ceiling and there is a person basically wrapped in a uh like spider web like a cocoon of web up on the corner of the uh in the corner of the ceiling and i really love this part jim goes oh god oh no no no no oh god no like he's just like so stressed but it really made me laugh i was like that's exactly it's exactly right you nailed it oh god oh no no no no no no no and he's backing away from it and he backs into another body wrapped in web that oh no no no that a little like spider claw pokes out of and pokes into jim like a little stab with a little spider claw and he he whips around and looks at what has just stabbed him and it's another

military guy not one of the ones that was in the grocery store but just another military person and the military person says to him he's still half alive basically cocooned and and still alive and he says i'm sorry i'm sorry and like a spider is like coming out of him and he's like i'm so sorry like i can feel it and i can feel them inside of me i can feel it this part's so fucking gross and Ew! And he's saying, help me, help me. A web shoots out of him and David watches this web land on the ground

and the webs are basically acid. It's burning into the ground, burning through the ground and so then these webs start shooting and they all have to dodge the webs and then we see the guy's face, the military they all have to dodge the webs. And then we see the guy's face, the military guy who's wrapped in the web. We see his face start moving like little lumps in his face moving around. And then one bursts open and a spider crawls out of it.

And one bursts on the other side, a spider crawls out of that. And spiders are just bursting out of his face oh it's so gross and then we see a bigger spider um like on a shelf in aisle somewhere jump out at one of the other guys that's there and land on its face like alien style and start killing him that way kills this guy with his acid webs and little fangs basically just these spiders start popping up everywhere in this store we see various bodies basically serving as like egg sacks they're like laying eggs in humans and they're just like all being born yeah and so but there's some that

are big that apparently the mommy spiders and then like tiny spider like hundreds of tiny spiders and then as they're still like fighting these spiders uh the military guy gets knocked off the wall and falls forward and his whole chest cavity explodes and like thousands of tiny spiders run out oh my god it's so gross it's horrible and we see one of the big ones coming for mrs repler and he was still like alive when that was happening yeah and uh we see one of the big ones come from mrs repler and she grabs a lighter and some hairspray and does like a flamethrower and is able to kill one mrs repler is pretty cool damn then there's like a really big spider and they basically they've lost i think like two people to these spiders they they regroup they're like get the fuck out of here someone hits a big the big spider with a broom and gets it out of the way for enough

for them to run past it they run back to the store like screaming banging on the door like let us in let us in they let them in and they made it back but in the time that they have been gone the man with the burns has died so they're like okay well we yeah need to start figuring out how to get the fuck out of here and mrs carmody has like a full congregation now she has like 15 or 16 people with her that she has just been preaching to that are just nodding and i mean i guess like you'd be desperate for someone to like lead you and tell you what the answers are oh my god I was telling you how

the other day I was getting too into reddit and learning about the or reading about the psychology of QAnon and it's not dissimilar of how you just want someone to give you an answer an easy answer.

Yeah. Rather than accepting that life is just scary. And there's nothing you can do about it. Being alive is terrifying. David and his little crew are very much like, okay,

it's time for us to leave. Yeah. Amanda says, yeah, I'd rather die out there trying than in here waiting. They go to the military guys because they, after seeing the other military guy and the other thing saying, I'm sorry. They're kind of like, okay, well, something's fucking going on. Somebody knows something. saying i'm sorry they're kind of like okay well something's fucking going on somebody knows something they corner the guy who had a crush on sally or a history with sally and are basically asking him what the fuck's going on and after the uh experience in the pharmacy jim who

was in the pharmacy with them and was the one in the beginning who was not taking it seriously and the reason that the kid got killed, he starts shifting to Mrs. Carmody's side as well. Oh, no, Jim. And we see him come in and start kind of nodding along with Mrs. Carmody's whatever she's preaching. He's like, yes, yes, this is right. I like this. We knew it.

It makes some sort of sense out of the spiders that just exploded out of the man that I saw. Yeah, I mean, I guess I can't really blame him for wanting some answers there. So at first, David is just kind of interrogating the military guy. The military guy is crying. He's obviously had a fucking traumatizing day, too. And everybody has, I would say everybody has. And he's crying and he said, I'm you know, that's not my clearance level. Like, I don't know what's happening.

But the rumor was that there were other dimensions that they had discovered and they were trying to make a window to other dimensions no and someone says well it seems like they made a fucking door and the guy's crying he's saying like i had nothing to do with this like i was just doing my job like i'm just a sold like a booze on the ground so like i don't do any of that shit like none of this was my doing and uh jim overhears this happening and grabs the military guy and basically brings him to mrs carmody and says it's this oh the the military guy's name is private jessup and he says private just like this guy did this he He knows what's going on. He's the reason this is happening to us.

And starts this big frenzy of people screaming, like angry at it. Like Private Jessup is like crying, like, no, no, like I didn't do anything. Like,

I'm just like, I, this isn't, I don't really know what's going on either. Like, please, please. I don't know what's happening.

And, and Mrs. Carmody's like saying, there a judas in our midst we're being punished for going against the will of god and she says she's giving this whole big speech about how walking on the moon stem cells abortions only god has any right to do any of that we're being punished to walk on the moon that's his play place and we're being punished for going against his will and there's just mounting tension everyone's getting fucking crazy and jim just grabs a knife and starts stabbing jessup stabbing him in the stomach over and over kills jessup david and amanda and ollie like their jaws drop like they are horrified like okay we're in this stage now of fucking free for all this is

civilized society is no longer mrs carmody yells feed him to the beast and so they take oh he's like not quite dead yet. He's just like bleeding to death and they throw his body outside. And we see one of the new type of creature. Now it looks like a big like grasshopper type thing. Come and grab him and pull him away. We just hear his screams as he is taken away by another big beast. Big monster.

And then Mrs. Carmody says they'll leave us alone tonight because they've done their blood sacrifice now. So she tells them that it's safe for the nighttime. Sorry, but I can't wait for her to die. Yeah. She, so it's nighttime now. People start laying down, quieting like they're going to go to bed. David put, is putting Billy to bed and Billy's crying, saying, please don't let the monsters kill me. And he says, I promise I won't.

I promise I won't. And he falls asleep for a bit. And then Amanda wakes him up, says it's dawn. It's time to go. Like they've their plan has been to leave in the night while most people are sleeping, apparently. So they they quietly wake every wake all their people up that are wanting to leave and head for the front door. And Miss Carmody and two other people are just awake, sitting there with knives guarding the door. And they don't want people to leave because they don't want to lose their blood sacrifices? I guess

so. She says you can't go out. It's against God's will. Haven't I proven myself over and over and over shown that I am his vessel? She's drinking like from a glass

like gallon of milk or pint of milk, which I feel like is a good little touch. She's just like sipping on her milk, being like, haven't I proven that I'm God's vessel? Look at me, the most normal milk drinking lady you've ever seen. Milk is creepy. Let's just be completely honest. Milk is creepy. We learned that and let the right one in. You can't love milk. It's weird. It's weird. No, you can have milk

as an ingredient in other things. You can't have a glass of milk. No. Under the right circumstances, I'll abide by some light milk drinking, but as an activity that... No. You can't have a 16-ounce glass of milk in any scenario. You can't be drinking milk from the bottle. No. No. You simply can that. No. You can't have a 16 ounce glass of milk in any scenario. You can't be drinking milk from the bottle.

No. You simply can't. No. Four to six ounces tops. Tops. In a small, short glass. Yeah. For a very specific reason.

Mm hmm. All right. Anyway. So she says your sinners in pride. You refuse to bend to God's will. Anyway, she says, you're sinners in pride. You refuse to bend to God's will. She's screaming at them now. Everyone's starting to wake up and everyone's getting riled up.

She's screaming. And she says the blood of the sacrifice must come from them. These pride, these prideful sinners, the sacrifice must come from them these pride these prideful sinners uh the sacrifice must come from them and basically everyone on her side has gotten knives from somewhere around the store they all have big old knives and she says give us the boy and billy is in amanda's arms and they start grabbing for billy amanda's holding on to him screaming everywhere david is uh fucking freaking out and but there's a group of people on him kind of fighting him punching him holding him back and they can't get the boy amanda's holding on to billy so tight they can't get him and and mrs carmody says kill the woman too the woman to grab them both they so they grab both

of them and they're getting them away from the group and they've got amanda and billy and then a gunshot rings out and we see the glass of milk shatter and it goes into Mrs. Carmody's stomach and we see Ollie with the gun and everyone screams and backs up and Ollie shoots her right between the eyes and she drops and dies. And Billy gets to David. Everyone is just like, whoa, drops back. Ollie's waving the gun at all of the religious fanatics being like, back the fuck up, back the fuck up. And everyone backs off. Everyone backs off. Gun beats knife.

Gun beats knife. He's the only one with the gun. So they're able to make it to the front door. David says, thank you, Ollie. Ollie says he's he's upset that he has just done this. He's like, there was no I didn't see any other way. I didn't know how I didn't want to kill her. I didn't want to do it, but I didn't see any other way. And he's right about that.

He's like, I know. That's why I said thank you. Also, like she thought she was never going to die. So it's a good way to prove that she's a liar to everybody at once. Really diffusing that threat. Yeah. Honestly, it was the right call.

It was the right call. It's getting light out. It's dawn now. So they, they run out, they're running to the car group of them and they are getting picked off one by one. There's like,

like 15 of them running out. So these are people we don't know. These are characters we don't know. We don't care. We don't care. No attachment. Picked off into the air. But our main core crew makes it to the car.

And Ollie makes it there first. And kind of turns to face everyone smiling like we made it. Oh, no. And at that moment, you see a really fucking big thing like a four-story high building to size thing grab him uh and whip him up into the air and he gets you know ripped in half his blood is pouring down and the gun flies down from he had the gun that flies down, lands on the hood of the car. And basically all that's left now that make it to the car are David, Billy, Amanda, Mrs. Repler and Dan.

So there's five of them that make it into the car. They close the doors. They're gathering themselves. It's silent now. it's they're looking around seeing doesn't seem to be any any creatures any imminent threats at the moment they're just sitting there in this moment of silence and then david sees the gun on the hood of the car and opens the door to reach for it and Amanda and Billy just start screaming No, David! No!

No! Which is like don't scream, you dumbasses. Like, you could have easily grabbed this gun quietly, but I mean, I guess Billy, fine, you're a kid, but Yeah, yeah, but they're all screaming making a ton of noise,

and so they're quickly... quickly get a creature to draw onto them. I think it's one of the bird ones again, or maybe the spider, I don't remember. And it, like, smashes into the windshield, but they're able to grab the gun, turn the car on, and drive away, so it falls off and it

doesn't chase them so these creatures are they like giant versions of earth creatures or do they like you said the one was like pterodactyl like they don't look like like our world just didn't get like enlarged by the mist did it or no no they're all like one thing i will say is they're all fleshy like they all look like they all look like they are the same like material like they're all kind of purpley fleshy like even the spider the pterodactyl the big ones like none of them have feathers or scales or anything. Like it's all just kind of purple flesh. Okay.

It's interesting that like it's like a similar skin to the quiet place monster. Yeah. Similar skin to a demogorgon. This is creature skin. Creature skin. We're talking creature skin. We're talking creature skin here. So they are in the car.

They are able to start it up and drive off. First order of business. They go to David and Billy's house and quickly see his wife also encased in the spider web thing. She is dead. Oh, no. She is dead up in the right out front of the house and that's that's a really bad way to go that's a bad way to go but Billy

is thankfully asleep at this moment he's like on the course of the drive I guess you would that be your first time to maybe be able to relax so Billy is sleeping so he doesn't see his mom his mom's dead body sure thankful about but everybody else does.

All kind of look very sad there. They decide, I guess, we'll just drive as far as we can. Did Andre Brower die at some point? We didn't see it happen, but him and a group of people went out and never came back. That's right. He went with the people with the rope guy when the rope guy died. Yes. Yes.

So it's possible that he also died. I actually am not sure if he died or not, but we did hear screams when they all left. So I guess it's likely that he died. Okay. But we didn't see it. Uh, so, yeah, they make a plan to just drive until they run out of gas, drive as far as we can. Maybe we'll get out of the mist if we just keep driving. So they drive and as they're on the little highway, they see the biggest creature of all. The behemoth is what's called in the book

oh novella the novella excuse me and it's enormous but it's so big that it like doesn't even notice them it's just walking and it's it's just huge just giant like Godzilla size but is it like a big lizard

it kind of almost looks like an elephant we'll have to i'll have to post some photos of the various monsters because they're the creature design is cool but also some of them look pretty funny like the the flies in particular their faces look like you know that like pixar or disney animated movie that's like robots and they look like that to me they're just like kind of like funny almost animated looking faces um but overall the creature design is pretty cool and and creepy and it's just fun that they're all different kinds of creatures like i feel like that that's fun that each time it's like a new variation on these monsters so but so they see this fucking huge one and they're looking so like defeated and they're like we're so fucked like you just see

them like looking at each other like fuck they drive till they run out of gas. They do not make it out of the mist. They like hear creatures screeching in the distance. Everything is looking pretty bleak. And David looks at the gun, opens the chamber, counts the bullets. They have four bullets. And he kind of looks around like we've got four bullets. They have four bullets. And he kind of looks around like we've got four bullets. And

Amanda starts crying and she's like, there's five of us. Like they're deciding that they want to commit suicide. And David is like, I'll figure something out. Like basically volunteering that I will kill all of you and then die a horrible death at the hands of a monster.

And so they all kind of nod. Like, they're all agreeing to this as they're just hearing the sounds of the creatures around them. So he loads up the gun and cocks it. And he's crying. They're all crying. And we see Billy wake up and look at his dad for a moment. And then it cuts to outside of the car. And you just hear a gunshot.

And then another. And then another. And then another. And then we go back inside the car and david is just sobbing sobbing sobbing sobbing everybody is dead um holy it's really sad and his performance is good and he is just like heaving that kind of tony colette and hereditary cry oh my god and so he opens the car door and starts screaming come and get me like come and fucking get me and we like nothing's happening and he like drops to his knees again he's like struggling to like keep any sort of composure he's this is

the worst fucking imaginable thing to happen and then we hear something in the distance coming closer to him and he looks and he's screaming like yeah like fucking kill me and it's a military truck and as it approaches the mist starts disappearing and these are rescue trucks filled with survivors and a bunch of them start passing by and we see the woman from the beginning that had asked if anyone would help her to find her kids we see her and her kids loaded in the back of this and there's uh military people on foot with guns kind of shooting at things. We hear creatures dying. There's like explosions happening and the mist starts clearing. And we basically just see that they're finally getting the upper hand and have defeated the creatures.

defeated the creatures and david even more than before drops to his knees and is fucking losing it and a military guy is like comes up to him and as you see him kind of looking at him like what the fuck what the fuck and he just screams and screams and screams and screams and that's the end of the movie. Oh no. It's so bad. Oh my god. Yeah and I have to say that Jenna saw this movie not knowing what was going to happen and had plans afterwards and canceled her plans she just couldn't stop crying she was like i can't

i can't do it that is so fucking brutal oh my god it's so brutal and um i'll also say that that is not how the novella ends um and i don't know how the novella ends but that was a frank darabont change that he made it end this way which is very um walking dead-esque i feel like frank darabont frank darabont loves this shit of like and so does Stephen King of just the human stuff always being the most upsetting the scariest the most disturbing of just and I'm fascinated by it as well of like what humans would do at the you know end of civilized society when when everything is gone how would people react and it's not gonna be good emily's a shell she's just she we've lost her she's dead behind the eyes she's just... Oh. Oh my god. Oh my god, it's so bad. You feel really bad?

I feel so bad. Because it's also like, if it had been literally anybody else who made the choice to kill everyone, it would have been better. Like, at least he would have died with his son. He has to deal with it. He just killed his son in like a minute later.'s immediate yet he had to shoot his son it's like also very stressful to me that his son woke up at that moment and he still did it like i feel like i would be like okay we'll wait till he falls asleep again like i couldn't have that be my son's last moment of life is like my dad pointing a gun in my face. Like he has the son.

Billy has the moment of realization. My dad's about to kill me. Like, I feel like that's so horrible. And I feel like as David, I wouldn't have been able to do that. I would have been like, OK, well, we'll wait. We'll wait a bit. Get Billy back to sleep first because I'm not going to fucking shoot him while he's looking me in the eyes. But he does.

I wish you guys could see Emily's face. Oh, no. Wow. Yeah, it's a very traumatizing ending of a film, which I presume is why you guys chose it. And also, I was happy that Henley couldn't make this one. Me too. Because we brought her back for old, a movie that involves a baby dying. And so I would try to give her a little break from children

dying for as much as we can. Wow. Wow. Okay. All right. All right. Okay. All right.

Wow. So that's the mist. That's the mist. Well. Feel Good movie of 2007. This put me in a state. state yeah what do you got going the rest of the day to to cheer you up got any pie left i have some pie left actually yeah good you're gonna need some pie after this i might need some pie right now. Wow, Sammy.

Would you say that it is, how do we rank it among the other bad ones, which were Event Horizon and, what was it, Green Room? Which other one did you really have a bad reaction to? I had a really bad reaction to Evil Dead. Remember that? I just really didn't like it. I feel like there was another one in there, but we don't need to revisit it. I'm doing okay. I'm sad.
