Hi, everyone. Welcome to Too Scary, Didn't Watch, the horror movie recap podcast for those too scared for what did I say? No, you fucked it up. I fucked it up. I'm going to take it again, but feel free to include the one that I fucked up in the edit. Hi, everyone. Welcome to Too Scary Didn't Watch, the horror movie recap podcast for those too scared to watch for themselves. Nailed it. I'm Emily, and I am too scared to watch scary movies. I'm Sammy, and I like watching scary movies, and you just lived out henley's fear of i did i brought henley into this recording by living her fear um speaking of guess who's not here today guess who's not guess who's on the

freaking road to new york city the big apple the city that never sleeps she's heading there it's our third wonderful host henley making her way across the country we miss her this is a little intimate little app just the two of us just the two of us we are missing our friend henley she's listening to her spotify playlist she's in the probably smack dab middle of this country, taking in the natural wonders before its inevitable collapse. Just making her way. I miss her.

I miss her. Well, what else is going on with you other than your grief? Yeah, I'm missing Henley primarily. Everything else sort of lives in.'s the shadow of that that grief but i am also trying to to catch a kitten um the uh over the weekend i think was the first sighting of this kitten in um in jo, my boyfriend. You know him better as a correspondent, Joel. His patio zone, he spotted

a little kitten a couple of times and we kept seeing him, came to discover that he probably lives in that patio. We think he's about, we keep saying he. I don't know that he's a boy, but we're just going to say he because cats don't have gender. It's sex, but we don't know that he's a boy but we're just gonna say he because cats don't have gender um sex but we don't know what that is so whatever um uh he's probably about eight weeks old

we think he's really cute because he's like not too tiny he's clearly on his own no mama in sight no other kittens um not too helpless he's got yellow eyes and i did some research and all kittens are born with blue eyes. So he's at least six weeks old, but looks probably a little bit older. Very cute. Very, very, very cute. So Joel has two cats. I have one.

We're not really looking to bring a fourth cat into our life. Sure. It's a lot of cats. I'm not not looking to bring a fourth cat. I mean, there's a reason you've got three already. I love cats. There's a reason you've got three already. But the main goal is to try to scoop him up to at least get him or her spayed or neutered.

Yeah. Because, you know, you don't want to have more cats, stray cats out in the world. So we've been really, really working on building up this cat's trust, bringing out tuna for him. Sort of hit a milestone earlier today at breakfast time. The new rule is tuna only comes out when we're also outside. So if he wants to eat, it's got to be in our presence. Right, right. Smart.

Put it fairly close to us this morning. And it took him about 20 minutes to like work it. He saw the tuna, he smelled it. He was curious. Finally came up, ate it and with us there so that's a step um mainly though my god i am so impatient and i just like want to have this kitten i just want to like yeah fucking pick him up and it takes so much goddamn time mabel is such a outgoing cat too then i bet it's just a shock to the system to be like this cat isn't immediately jumping in my lap looking for affection what the fuck and it's also like man just fucking

i know what's good for you come on man like let me scoop you up i mean i know the first thing i'm gonna do is take you to get surgery so maybe you're maybe you're smart but like just come on man come on um so we're really working our way up. But I'm excited. I'm excited to see what happens. I'm excited, too. You sent me a picture and he's very cute. He's like Calico.

He's Calico. He's got like a white belly, some splotches, a real fluffy tail, which is very cute. Cutie. Joel has a thing about all outdoor cats have to have crazy names. There's some old outdoor cats that wander around his place that are named Convict and Big Beefy Boss Boy. Ooh. So this

one he's named War Boy, which I like because the War Boy from Mad Max Fury Road is like a lost soul, but he's sweet and he's just sort of looking for his purpose. So that's War Boy. So we'll see what happens with him, but he's just sort of looking for his purpose so that's this that's war boy um so we'll see what happens with him but hopefully we can sort of get him scooped up no matter where we go from there you gotta uh spray some silver spray paint all over

i'm gonna shave him i'm gonna shave him and spray silver spray paint all over his face and play metal music and he's gonna love it. Get him a little electric guitar. A teeny electric guitar for my bald silver cat. Oh, yeah. Okay, he should be scared. He should be scared. He maybe should be scared.

What's up with you, Sammy, aside from the deep hole in your heart? Oh, boy. The deep, deep hole. I miss a big henley sized hole um i've had a week of feeling just so uh scattered and i feel like everyone is feeling this way all the time for the past you know however many months it's been now yeah um but i feel like the more time that goes by and i'm alone in my house and i'm working a lot and so i'm like busy i don't know i feel like very detached from myself so i've

yeah i need like grounding practices do you have do you have any any meditations that you like to do oh i wish my i my whole adult life has been like you should meditate and then like yeah it's so like that was cool and then never doing it again that's my journey as well i'll get into it for a week and be like wow this is really this is really helping and then forget and never do it again um but you go to therapy though which is a nice grounding thing as you go to therapy that is definitely yeah therapy is a good grounding practice for sure to go to therapy i think that's what it is um a friend of mine said she was trying to start therapy in just now in quarantine and like she reached out to six therapists in a row

who told her they were at capacity well i went to one and it was yeah it was the online and the therapist was actually in san diego and she was just she seemed so um kind of like okay let's like let's move this along like get she was just like asking me questions like going really quickly and the session was supposed to be 45 minutes she ended it at 25 minutes oh no she can't do that i gotta go to the next and like i if i maybe i'll see you again and like that was it and i was like well i hate her no that is that is no good yeah it was a it was a it was a no-go for me so and usually when i have one bad experience i'm like well therapy's not for me yeah i mean it's hard it's hard because it's like a relationship and that's really daunting. And how do you build that?

And in quarantine, how do you figure out that that's right? I mean, I will die for my therapist. I will die if she needs me to. If she said, Emily, you have to die for me to go on, I would say, okay. But it takes, that's hard to find. Yeah. So, yeah, I guess that's hard to find yeah so yeah i guess that's it i guess this has just been a realization that i need to find a a therapist or finally stick to a meditation

practice i mean both are hard meditation to me is so crazy because it feels like it should be the easiest thing it's you in your own home just being silent i mean that's not all it is but like you know like if you're trying to think of what's the thing i can i can definitely do right right and it is fucking impossible you know what i like is um uh like audiobooks of self-help books i think oh yeah that that's what i to. I always feel a little bit better when I'm listening to a self-help book and not necessarily like a really cheesy self-help book. There's one I listen to called 10% Happier by Dan Harris, I think is his name. And I just feel good when I'm listening to someone talking about mental health and that

kind of stuff. Yeah, that's not all that dissimilar from therapy. It's someone being like, here are some tools. Here's what I've learned. Here's what I unpack. Right. So listeners, if you have any good self-help books, recommendations, send them my way. I need it. I'm floating off into space over here.

As a Gemini, an air sign. It's hard for me to stay grounded. She's floating, baby. And as a fire air sign it's hard for me to stay grounded she's floating baby and as a fire sign it's hard for me to not fucking spray paint that goddamn cat and adopt him into my life immediately really struggling um uh but one thing i did this week that was so fun and scary was watch this week's movie which was the rental and it came out just last month july 2020 oh my god brand new brand spanking new um jenna went and saw it in a drive-in movie theater that's fun i know i would this would have been a fun one for that but i watched it at home um it was directed by dave franco his directorial debut oh my god written by dave franco and joe

swanberg and starring dan stevens allison brie sheila vond and jeremy allen white and toby Sheila Vaughn and Jeremy Allen White and Toby Huss. Oh, Joe Swanberg. What else is he written? I know that name. Oh, you know, I'm going to look it up. Look it up. OK, this Joe Swanberg did Easy, the Netflix show Easy. Right, right. And those improv, improv.

I did. I have studied improv for many years and I lost the word that you say, improvise. Movies, Happy Christmas. You should have just made up a word. I did a made up word, improv. Happy Christmas and Drinking Buddies. Okay, okay. He wrote those.

So that's why I know that name. Do we think that Dave Franco and Alison Brie are happy? I love a married couple, man. I love to think about it. I kind of feel like they are. Yeah. I think they are. He talks about her a lot.

He won't shut up about her. He won't fucking shut up about his stupid wife. And they love to work together, which I feel like means they like to be around each other. Yeah, that's got to be a good sign, right? We got to look up if they're an astrological match. Oh my God, I have to know. I saw them once

at a Larchmont Wine and Cheese. Oh my God, he's a Gemini. Oh no, what is she? What is she? Oh boy, a Capricorn. Not a match not a match not a match we don't know their full we don't know their full birth chart there could be more in the chart but at first glance not a match i'm re-watching mad men currently is one of my my new quarantine projects yes um who allison brie allison brie is is in mad men oh uh yeah she's sort of a sort of a side is one of my new quarantine projects. Yes. Who Alison Brie,

Alison Brie is in Mad Men. Oh. Yeah, she's sort of a side character. Not a major character, but she's in there. I don't think I made it to her. I only watched the first season and a half, I think.

Oh, she's in there. You just might not. She's Pete Campbell's wife, Trudy Campbell. She comes in kind of early on. But anyway, I have no other thoughts about it other than i'm watching it she's in it madman never really spoke to me personally it's like it's very moody show

it's very moody like i would be i would be happy with it being on in the background while i was like drinking a whiskey yeah it makes you want to drink a ton. And it is. I love it. It's one of my favorite shows of all time. But also, it's just so beautiful. Yeah. Aesthetically. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That is upsetting. And everyone is bad. So that was the thing. I was like, who am I rooting for here? Like, I don't feel attached to any of these characters.

And this is just kind of makes it a little boring for me and I kind of want them all to end up alone I guess they're not trying to date each other but yeah I mean you might get your wish I yeah yep um anyway Alison Brie she's hot also yeah she's hot

uh and Dan Stevens is hot I love Dan Stevens Dan Stevens is very hot I love Dan Stevens and it stevens is very hot i love dan stevens and it makes me want to watch this movie but i know that i shouldn't you shouldn't emily um this movie scared me a lot more than i was anticipating like i said jenna went to see it in a drive-in and i had texted her do you think it's scary enough for us to do on the pod and she was like yeah i think so like kind of a little unsure a little half heartedly, I would say. And so I was like, okay, but it is listed as a horror thriller.

And, you know, we don't get a lot of new releases these days. So I was excited about it and figured let's freaking do it. And I was really, really scared. And you'll see why. I bet I will. And you'll also be scared. I actually, yeah, I had to really watch some palate cleansers. Peep Show or What You Throw On?

I watched Peep Show, yeah. I only have one episode left of Peep Show now. Oh, no. I need to find a new palate cleanser. I think I might start the IT crowd again. I like to have a British comedy, a half-hour comedy on hand for after my horror films. Hello, everybody. It is cocktail hour, and this week's cocktail is a silent third. hour and this week's cocktail is a silent third a very creepy ominous name that uh you'll come to understand as you hear about the movie uh this cocktail was first published in the 1937 cafe royal cocktail book uh pretty cool it is basically a sidecar made with scotch in place of cognac. You will need

one and a half ounces of scotch whiskey, one ounce of Cointreau, three quarters an ounce of lemon juice, a half an ounce of chilled water, and you will shake all ingredients with ice and a fine strain into a chilled coupe glass and garnish with a lemon

zest twist. Cheers. But okay, I don't have a lot of trivia for this. Yeah, I looked it up in there. It was like Dave Franco and Alison Brie are married. Who knew? I will say I love Toby Huss who is in this and I actually, personal trivia, worked on a movie that he was in

and I was in post-production so I didn't interact with him at all. But everyone in production said he was just the nicest guy on set. Oh, I love hearing that. I know. Because he's just great. He's in Halt and Catch Fire. And I just think he's a really good actor. And he seems like a very good person.

And I just love to hear that he is. You love to hear it. You love to hear it. Overall, this movie didn't get great reviews which i was a little surprised by and after reading some of the reviews they're all kind of like it's good it's like they all kind of say that it's good and then give it like five out of ten um one of them was like i I think, you know, cause it's not like reinventing horror by any means. It's like pretty standard kind of simple.

I don't need it to be reinvented. Yeah, exactly. And so it's kind of a simple horror thriller. Some of the stuff you've seen done before for sure, but I thought it was totally entertaining and scary. And yeah, there was one that said like, it's like the gift meets the invitation meets come to daddy.

And it was like saying it as a negative thing. And I was like, I liked all those movies. So sounds good. Like if a movie is done well, it feels like so many movies are executed so poorly that like, hey, if it's checking all the boxes and I'm enjoying it as a viewer it's a good movie right um i feel like that got that happened with the lodge too people were just like a little derivative and it was like but good right so who cares also it's fucking 2020 we've been making movies for god knows how long they're

all gonna be derivative yeah um so do you think it's because people just sort of like want to hate dave franco he's a very like punchable thing like who likes the francos nobody we all accept them and we do like them but we also don't like them yeah you know what i mean i do i do know exactly what you mean um like i don't like that. Do you know what I mean? I do. I do know exactly what you mean. I don't want to like his movie, but if it's good, fine. And it is directed well, I will say. I think he did a great job.

Hey, they're not stupid, the Frankos, but they're annoying. They are annoying. Okay, I think that we should watch the trailer. The stars are insane out here. I should should watch the trailer. Carly tell me that's not a camera get through tonight. We leave first thing in the morning What's going on this will be over soon i promise this will never be over look this is not okay charlie all right stop being so god everything is fine oh it looks really good what do i toby huss i'm like trying to i know his face um oh he's in glow also with allison brie

yeah he's in a ton of shit i know his face from he's oh I like that he's a nice guy that is nice to hear he's from Iowa oh also oh god I love Dan Stevens so much and that made me want to watch it but I know again I know that I can't

I know that I can't I love Dan Stevens and I like to watch him in things. He's a very good actor. I really loved this movie. I even was like, do I want to? Because I rented it on Amazon. It's $6.99, by the way.

Huge. I guess it's a new release. It's a new release. So I was actually expecting it to be more. Because remember, Invisible Man was like $19.99 for a while. So $6.99 seemed doable. But I liked it so much that I was even like, do I want to watch it again in my 48-hour rental period? Oh, my God.

I'm really excited to hear about it. And honestly, I say this. Okay, maybe I'm talking it up too much. No, I want to see it. Look, I love Dan Stevens. Have I said it enough? Do you guys get it? Do you get it?

Do you get it? I love him. I love him. Once you tell me about it, maybe I'll want to see it. I look, I love Dan Stevens. Have I said it enough? Do you guys get it? Do you get it? Do you get it? I love him. I love him. Once you tell me about it, maybe I'll want to see it. If I say this all the time and it's never true. Yeah, I don't, I don't think it will be true. Okay. All right. Fair enough. Fair enough. But I'm, I like the, I like the attitude. I like the energy. Yeah, I'm ready. Why not be positive about it? True. Go in open-minded. Let's freaking get into it.

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

Alison Brie plays his wife, Michelle. And Sheila Vaughn plays his business partner, Mina. And Jeremy Allen White plays his brother, Josh. So this is a very connected group of people. Very connected group of people. We start with, so Mina and Charlie are business partners,

and they've had some kind of big sale. And it starts with them, like, wanting to celebrate, and they're looking at this very fancy rental home, kind of isolated on, like, a cliff. Looks like the California coast. coast yeah it looks really beautiful um and they're like well we're so it's like very expensive per night but they're like we're celebrating let's fucking do it so they the four of them and are mina and josh a couple mina and josh are a couple so two couples Sheila Vaughn by the way is

the girl in a girl walks home alone at night which you probably haven't seen because it's a horror movie but I was excited to see that I didn't recognize her I saw that forever ago but she's so good in that you don't meet a lot of women named Sheila and I like

I like it I know it's kind of weird to imagine a baby Sheila. This is my infant daughter Sheila. I would only be able to say it in an Australian accent. Sheila? Sheila? No, God. No, it's not Australian. I don't know. I've lost the Australian accent. We need to get the Spooko boys

back. We're gonna get them back. But okay, so they're headed to the rental house and on the drive there mina says she is annoyed because her request was denied and then an hour later charlie's request was approved and her name is mina mohamadi. And so he's like, she is obviously thinking it's a racist thing and she has a Middle Eastern sounding last name and that he just rejected her based on her name. And Charlie is very much like,

no, like give him the benefit of the doubt. Like it's probably because you have less reviews than I do and that kind of thing. Just kind of for some reason defending this stranger. Sure. I don't love it, but OK. It's fun to tell someone their lived experience is probably not true. Yeah, exactly.

So right away, right away, you don't really like Charlie. Damn it. I know. I know. It's a shame. I do. Yeah, you would struggle. I know. It's a shame. I do. Yeah, you would struggle. I would struggle.

And they're bringing their dog, Reggie, who is a very, very cute French bulldog. But the rental house does not allow dogs. So Charlie's like, why are you bringing the dog? Like, it's not allowed. And he's like, it'll be fine. Whatever. It's a big house. We'll hide it.

It's not going to be a big deal. So whatever. They're small. Reggie, thegie the dog by the way is listed in the credits he's played by chunk the dog that's really good oh the french bulldog what a cutie i love that he's credited but so they they get to the house like pull up like oh my god it's so beautiful um toby huss who's his name his character's name is taylor meets them there immediately pretty weird vibes mina's obviously a little guarded around him she feels like mad at him but doesn't want to say anything and um he says like they're like getting a tour of the house or whatever and uh michelle says damn it i forgot the telescope because it's like nothing around for miles so the stars are going to be very beautiful at night. And Taylor, the host says,

you know, I'll bring one. I have one. And it should have been here already. I'll bring it by. And she's like, oh, my God, that would be so great. Thank you so much. And as he's going to leave, Mina kind of confronts him and says, hey, do you remember rejecting my request to book this place? And he kind of like. Bold move to do before you stay there. Right. And he kind of gives her a look. And it's like a lot of people request to book.

I have to turn down a lot of people. And she's like, no, but I requested these exact dates like an hour before Charlie did and you approved him like my name is Mina Mohammadi does that ring a bell and he kind of like looks pissed off at her and he's like you're free to cancel

like refund policy is listed on the website like he's racist he is a racist that's what's happening. Okay. Fair. And is just kind of creepy, given creepy vibes.

So while they're all getting settled, Michelle is in their room unpacking, and there's this, like, little pile of dirt right in the middle of her, the bed, the, like, master bedroom. She, like,

wipes it off. Weird. weird weird we know that's gonna mean something but probably it'd be weird or if it didn't just a thing in a movie that means literally nothing yep then that then this would be the turning. Yeah. And, oh, also, sorry, in the beginning, before they left, Charlie and Michelle were, there's like a scene with Charlie and Michelle in bed, the married couple, and they're kind of talking about how Michelle's really happy for Josh, that he has met Mina, and that he's doing really well since they've been together. And we get the sense that Josh was kind of a fuck up previously. And they're like, he's got a job now.

He's back in school, like night school. And Josh is Charlie's brother. Yeah, exactly. OK. And so and Charlie says something like, well, he hit the fucking jackpot with Mina. Like something a little too, like he loves, he likes Mina. And we've seen a little bit of them kind of being, because they're work partners. They spend a lot of time together.

Very close. Very close. And yeah, he kind of just like is a little too, he's like kind of putting Josh down, saying Mina's kind of out of his league. Damn. Back in the house, Mina and Josh are playing with the dog outside. And because it's kind of like a beach house ish, it's up on a cliff cliff but it has those kind of stilts where there's that under the house area not quite like a not quite a basement but it's like above ground but below the house like a floor level almost like a crawl space but like the size of a full level

and they see that they're the like dog gets under in. And they go in and there's a locked door with a keypad. And they're like, that's weird. Can't open it. And they're like, okay, whatever. Sometimes happens at an Airbnb. I'll take it. Yeah. There's locked doors.

People need to keep their things safe. Yeah, someone else's house. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So they go on a long walk on the beach, all four of them. And Mina's walking with Charlie. Josh is walking with Michelle. And again, Josh and Michelle are kind of talking. Josh is saying like, man, I feel so lucky.

Like, I love her so much. And I just like keep feeling like I want to be a better person because of her. And I'm just so scared of losing her. Like, Josh loves Mina is what we're getting. When they get back to the house, the telescope is inside the house and they're all excited. Like, yeah,

he brought the telescope. We can do our stargazing. And Mina is kind of like, does nobody like think it's weird that he just let himself in and then let himself out like couldn't he have left it on the doorstep like i think it's a little weird that he's kind of coming and going coming and going as much as yeah but you know maybe whatever he saw that they were gone it's his place he has a key yeah oh he does say that it's actually his brother's place, but he runs it and he runs the booking. So, yeah.

Brother stuff. Yeah. Brother stuff. We're going to have, we're going to deal with some brother stuff, I think. Dave, is this a message about your famous brother, James? I had that thought a few times in here. Uh-oh. Nothing to it. I'm just going gonna make a movie that heavily is about brothers

but okay so they're making dinner and Michelle is very excited about the hike tomorrow they've got this big like they're hiking to a waterfall it's gonna be beautiful she bought like a like a special backpack you know, the water bottle in it. Oh, hell yeah.

And then Mina says, well, don't you have a little surprise for us too? And Michelle's like, oh, I thought that would be for tomorrow night. And she's like, well, why not tonight? And she's like, okay okay she goes and grabs it and comes back with some molly we're gonna do some drugs and uh but then she's like she brings it out and is all excited and then she's like but i'm so tired tonight so i'm gonna go to bed but you guys do it allison which is like what she says you guys just do a little bit tonight save some for tomorrow tomorrow will be our big night this i think is

the most unrealistic part of the movie you can't expect people in their 30s to do molly two nights in a row it just is not gonna that's not real that's not real it's not gonna happen that's not how it is that's not how bodies work in your 30s cannot be done cannot be done um other than that i actually think their like behavior is quite realistic everything feels kind of real this was the only thing that took me out of it i was like okay michelle all right michelle let's be real what you think is going to happen if you give three people a bag of Molly and go to bed? They're going to do it. And they're going to save it for you.

They're not going to just do a teeny bit and then do the rest tomorrow. Come on, Michelle. Oh, but okay. So she goes to bed. She's like, I'm so tired. I'm excited for the hike tomorrow. You guys will do a little bit. We'll do more tomorrow. She goes to bed she's like i'm so tired i'm excited for the hike tomorrow you guys will do a little bit we'll do more tomorrow she goes to bed we see shots of the three of them dancing having fun

charlie and josh are wrestling they're rolling they're fucked up they're fucked up they're fucked up brother stuff brother's wrestling and then we we see Michelle asleep in bed and dirt falls on her cheek. And we see above the bed there is a vent. Okay. And then we get a POV shot from inside the vent. As if someone is watching her. And is the vent just like full of dirt? Or what's the deal with this vent?

Yeah, it's a dirt vent. Like, why is the ceiling vent full of dirt? Maybe because someone dirty is crawling around in it. Someone dirty is up there. They're dirty. But we're back outside. They've got their telescope set up, the three of them now, the two brothers and Mina. So Michelle's missing this whole fucking night.

She's missing this whole night. What is she doing? I don't know. I don't know. But Charlie does a thing where he's kind of trying to make josh look stupid josh says do you think cavemen were afraid of asteroids and charlie says is that because you think cavemen were alive at the same time as dinosaurs and josh is like uh no like i know there was time between and he's like how much time he's like yes some amount of time like shut up you know i don't know and he's like it was 65 i don't know 65

million years josh like he's just being an asshole were there no no cavemen and dinosaurs together nope i guess not and cavemen were with mammoths right you know i think so but i don't know for sure and i think it's okay anyone know honestly how would anyone know it's okay to not know things it's okay to not it's okay to not know things and it's not okay to yell at people and make them feel stupid for not knowing things because then they're not going to ask questions and i feel like i'm just teach them just tell them and don't be a dick about it you know what it's it's super okay to not know things about fucking dinosaurs and cavemen. Because honestly, how is that something that one must know about in this day and age? It's not.

It's not. But I thought that was a good little character moment of just kind of, again, showing that Charlie's just a little asshole. A little asshole. A little shitty. So, okay. So then Josh goes inside. He's like, I'm going to go get another beer.

And so while Josh is inside, Michelle and Charlie are doing that thing that you do when your serotonin levels are through the roof where they're just like, I love you so much. Like, I'm so happy that we're working together. And like, I feel like you'd really know me. I like I feel like we're so good together. So we're like, yeah, is it the Molly? Is this the thing they wish they were right saying um and then mina goes inside to go check on josh she's like where did he go

he's asleep on the couch she tries to wake him up he's like i'm uh yeah i'll be right out i'll be right out he's done he's done he's Done for the night. Done for the night. And so she goes back out. She's all annoyed. And Charlie has fired up the jacuzzi. And he's like, he's like, oh, man, he's asleep. He's like, well, I don't know about you, but like, I'm going in the jacuzzi. And she's like, well, yeah, I'm obviously also going in the jacuzzi.

Obviously. And so they both get into the jacuzzi and they're like trading spots on the what there's only one spot that's working that has a jet and so they're like my turn on the jet my turn on the jet and each time they're switching they have to like really squeeze squeeze by each other Get a little closer. In their bathing suits. And then eventually they're like, should we just share the jet? You can't. Two people can't share one jet. I'm sorry.

That's not how a jet works. Doesn't work like that. Can't be done. So they sit real close. And if you can believe it, they kiss. I couldn't. I don't believe it. So they kiss and then they hear Reggie barking like out in the woods and kind of make like

a squealy noise, like not a good noise. And then he runs in up the up the little deck stairs and runs inside, which is like, why are the doors not closed? Why are you just letting this dog out at night? In and out in a strange on a cliff. On a cliff on a cliff little chunk don't do that little chunky but so then that kind of like you know breaks the breaks the mood for a moment and she's like oh yeah reggie's got the right idea like i think it's

time to to go inside and go to bed and he's like yeah yeah yeah you're right um and so she gets out of the tub and then we cut to a pov from the woods of someone watching them and we just hear the like michael myers style someone is definitely watching them i don't like it no it's not good um so mina goes inside she takes a shower and as she is showering charlie comes in comes into the shower and oh my god they have sex in oh my god in the shower yep he just cheats on his wife and oh my god he oh wow brother's girlfriend with his and business partner business partner so many layers also wow wow wow wow there's a lot to this there's a lot to this okay yeah so this is where i started going dave james what's happened here what dave james you know you know that dave franco and james franco have like had fucked the same woman yes absolutely right

yeah there's no way yeah there's no way that there wasn't some some eskimo brothers situation that's what you call it and there's no way there isn't there is no way there isn't. Yeah. So this had me. Especially because like. Raising an eyebrow. Dave wasn't famous. Like James got famous first. Right. There was a bigger deal first. Right. How did Dave feel about that?

Did Dave date women who like really wanted to hook up with James? Right. Wanted to be around James? Yes. There would have to be some jealousy there. I'm sure. Also like interesting that he's. Dave is married to Alison Br brie allison brie

is the one who is cheated there are layers here i want to unpack them all i know i know also aside from all of that nobody's no two people's first time having sex should be in a shower that's just a thing that i'm gonna just come out and say I agree. I think shower sex is unpleasant in general. It is not ideal. It is not. It's not. It doesn't work. It's very fun.

In theory. Yeah. It is. It sounds like it's going to be fun. It's not good. No. And for your first time, I mean, I guess they're on Molly and whatever. But like, no.

Yeah, I agree. I agree. But I will. It does, does i guess have the added bonus of like probably no one's gonna come in and it covers some of the sound you're gonna be clean yeah yeah yeah you're already naked yep yep yep look again in theory i definitely get it um but okay so then we cut to the next morning and mina is sitting at the breakfast table and michelle is like cooking it's just the two of them she looks very bad a lot a lot going on in her head hung over and had sex with your husband last night. Oopsie. Oopsie.

Michelle is, again, very excited for the hike and she's like, okay, you guys, we gotta head out pretty soon because we don't want to... Alison Brie is always playing a type A character. Has she ever not played type A? Yeah. Never. I bet she's like, man,

fucking let me be a lazy slob. But maybe she's not because that's not her vibe anyway yeah no I mean she's good at it I would be over it she's very good at it does anyone think I'm not annoying did you see horse girl no I didn't see it either but that looked like a different type of role for her

okay she's a very good actor she is really good you know she's always playing a type of she does have a type for sure. She has an intensity. Yes. So she's like trying to get people pumped up to go. We're getting some pretty awkward looks between Mina and Charlie.

And Josh like comes down and kisses Mina and is like, are you excited for the hike? And Mina is kind of like, I don't think that I can, like, I'm way too hungover. I think I need to sit this one out. And then Charlie is also like, I don't think I can either. And so Michelle's super annoyed and they're like, all right, you guys like got too messed up. And she's like, you're not going to ruin my hike. Like, I'm still going.

And so her and Josh go on the hike. Yeah. And Charlie and Mina are alone together again. And they're kind of talking like, you know, that can't happen again. That was. It can't and it won't. And no worries, man. They're like, OK, if there's's anything i know it's that two people who

desperately want to fuck each other once they finally do they never will again they've scratched that itch and we're good that's how it works they're done yeah um yeah we're all feeling confident that we're feeling really good everything is in the past yeah um and this chapter is over um but so we're kind of going back and forth between them at the house and uh josh and michelle on the hike and they talk about you know the the they're talking about ecstasy and apparently charlie and michelle met while they were both on ecstasy. And Josh says something like, you guys have the best meeting story. It's so funny.

And she's like, oh, well, I know one person who doesn't think it's funny. Sarah, his girlfriend at the time. Oh, okay. And she's like, yeah, I think about her sometimes. And I feel bad that it happened that way. But, you know, that's just the way it happened. And he was like, well, Sarah wasn't totally innocent in it either. Like she did the same thing to Jessica or whatever, like his girlfriend previously.

And so we've got ourselves a habit a serial overlapper a serial overlapper and this is where I started getting some real vibes of my ex-boyfriend yeah look we don't need to go into discussion of this and we'll probably cut it

out if I start life is chaos things happen in a way we all Sammy and I have thoughts about all of this for different reasons but one thing's for sure and this is the thing that I talk about with my therapist when something becomes a pattern that's the red flag my friend

a pattern is no good and it's just interesting how you go into it being like that's not gonna happen with us no good and it's just interesting how you go into it being like that's not gonna happen it's this recurring behavior it stops here baby um but yeah so michelle did not know this information previously and now she's looking really she's looking really annoyed and she like stops oh that's not good to not know not good as a wife to have as a wife new information about your husband about some pretty key things and in your dating history um so she

stops and she's all annoyed and josh is like oh my god i'm sorry like i i thought you knew that um and then we cut to another good old poV shot from the woods watching both of them. And it's like it's as if like a tree is in the foreground. So we're getting kind of like half of the camera is dirty as I believe what you call it. And then and then it's not a tree. It's a person and it moves out of frame. And I don't know why it really scared me because all of a sudden it's like person and it moves out of frame and i don't know why it really scared me because all of a sudden it's like it's the first time i mean i guess we've heard the breathing but

it's the first time you like see a figure of any sort this fucking person is everywhere oh my god everywhere no no so yeah we're we're we're we're we're feeling scared. We're feeling scared. Yeah, nothing, like, scary scary has happened yet. Are you feeling scared? Is the vibe scary? I think it is. It's tense. I think the music is pretty tense. The music in the trailer was tense, I thought.

It's the same composer as The Lodge. Okay. So, spooky houses are his whole deal. Yeah. Or hers. Is it a man? It is a his. It is a he. It. Or hers. It is. It is a his. It is a he.

It usually is. Composers are very heavily male. Overwhelmingly male. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.. We're not meant to feel good. Through the filmmaking that, yeah, we're meant to feel bad. And bad things are happening.

It's like bad things are happening in their personal lives and bad things are happening that they don't know about yet. Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay. So all of this, all of these things looming. Secrets and also a murderer. A secret and a murderer. Yeah. Who's also secret.

Yeah. And okay. A secret and a murderer. Who's also secret. Yeah. And okay. So then we cut back to Charlie is like napping in the, in the,

on the couch and Mina goes and takes a shower. And again, yeah, she's, she's been like cleaning, I guess the, the apartment. Okay. I mean,

house, excuse me. I'm so used to being in an apartment. I can't even imagine. Some people live in in houses couldn't even imagine it being a house it's definitely a house um and as she's showering she looks up into the shower head and we see a little camera and she stops the shower yells charlie he comes in and looks and they're like she's like tell me that's not a camera and he's like that's a camera and then at the same time they're both like oh fuck and run to the other shower that they had sex in and there's a camera in that one too

and so they're like oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck it's on camera it's on camera what do we do they're really panicking and she's like interesting that that's their first thought and not oh we're being well well because at first yes that i'd say that is more mina's first shot more first thought is like let's call the cops this is fucked and but then they're like oh no charlie is the one that's kind of more like well hold on a second hold on a second if they get that footage like we're fucked and he's kind of like you know if uh he obviously can't show the footage to anyone or he'll you know out himself as having filmed us um so i think maybe the best thing to do is just do nothing and oh god she says like let's threaten him and he says i think threatening him is kind of the best way to

get him to show them the footage which like maybe but he's kind of like i think that i think our best course of action is to just get through the weekend and then fucking leave. And just like, oh, my God. And because he'll never be able to show anybody. What makes them think that it's just in the showers, man? Right. And so but they're still kind of freaking out. And as they haven't quite settled on any on what to do right as Josh and Michelle get home. on what to do right as um josh and michelle get home and so they kind of walk they walk in and they're like have to like stop freaking out and they're both like hey babe and like kiss them

and like both just kind of go to to being normal again and they're like okay i guess this is what we're doing we're just gonna um pretend it's not happening and josh is quickly like oh i'm so like sweaty from the hike like i gotta go take a shower and she's like no no no like i love it when you're sweaty and like is she thinking he'll never take a shower again for the rest of this he's like gonna shower yeah but uh michelle comes back she's in a very bad mood because she's just been given new information about her husband. And she just goes straight straight to their room. And he's like, what's going on? Like, why are you so mad?

And she eventually like says, like, why didn't you tell me about this? Like, you didn't you never mentioned that. And he's like, oh, did Josh tell you this? This is Josh. And he's like immediately just mad at josh not the point my dude and then she's like well i'm gonna get i'm like gonna get fucked up tonight fair michelle yeah fair so they they like go out into the living room and mina and josh are like watching planet earth like hung over and she's she's like, Nope, Nope. Sorry. Like, this is not what tonight's going to be like.

And Charlie's like, why don't we just play a board game? Like, could we like an easy night? She's like, no, I specifically went to bed early last night. So I just told you I'm getting fucked up.

So that I could get fucked up. And then she's like, where's the Molly? I'm doing the Molly. And then she's like, did you guys do all the Molly? And they're like, no,

no, no, there's there. It's there's some left. And she like goes and gets it and goes and takes it. Nobody else does. They're all like, no, we can't. We feel sick.

Again, people in their 30s, you can't do Molly two nights in a row. You can't do it. Whatever. Michelle's getting fucked up by herself. And one of the things during the day before they had left, Josh asked Mina to watch Reggie. and she was like hung over and forgot and so at this moment they realized that reggie is gone oh no and now it's it's kind of like sunset it's like dusk and they all run outside and josh is freaking out and he's like oh my god

what if he fell off the cliff also can't believe I forgot to put fucking dog on the bingo. Oh, my God. Dead dog. Yeah, that's huge. We'll see if you guys would get it. But I bet we will. But OK, so the sun is going down and it's getting dark. And so they go back inside.

Michelle is now kind of rolling. She's kind of doing a little dance and she's like laughing oh they lost the dog that's very funny to be like everybody's freaking out about their loss probably dead dog and she's like hey hey hey she's coming up having a good time on my own she is coming up and um she's trying to turn on the jacuzzi and it's not working and so they come in and she's like did you on the jacuzzi, and it's not working, and so they come in, and she's like, did you guys leave the jets on last night?

And Charlie's like, maybe, I don't remember. I was pretty fucked up. And she's like, yeah, it's not working now, so Taylor's on his way over. And Mina's like, who's coming over? And they're like, Taylor, he's coming over to fix the jacuzzi.

And like, is that a problem? And they're both like, no it's fine and so no so he comes over with his like bag of tools and because they kind of uh josh and mina kind of outwardly hate taylor think that he's racist i mean he is racist and so just kind of think he's a shitty dude so Josh is like he he might have taken Reggie like maybe he took Reggie and so he like that feels like a huge jump it does seem like a big jump but he comes in and he's like did you take my dog and oh my god and Taylor's like what are you talking about like you're not even supposed to have a dog yeah exactly like you have a dog here um he's like what are you talking about like you're not even supposed to have a dog yeah

exactly like you have a dog here um he's like no i didn't take your dog like you're not supposed to have dogs here and then he like it's like okay whatever he goes in fixes the jacuzzi and um as he's leaving uh he passes by mina and says like i actually love dogs like i hope you find your dog it's my brother that doesn't like dogs that's his policy and then he says really slowly like don't worry i'm not gonna rat you out oh no no no no and um so then she looks pissed and she's like actually let me show you one last thing um and he's like okay and like brings his bag of tools with him she's like it's in the bathroom and he like goes and he's like oh let me guess the toilet and she's like if you ever show anyone that video like i'll fucking kill you something like that i don't know um it's

like she threatens him and he's like what are you talking about like i don't what video what are you talking about and um she's like you're gonna make me show it to you and she like shows him the camera in the shower head and he's like what the fuck like that's not me like let's call the cops and she's like she's like no no no no don't call the cops that's not what i meant like just fucking stop filming us and tell us where the where the shit is so we can destroy it and they kind of are like he's like call or he's reaching to get his phone to call 9-1-1 and she's like no put that away and they're kind of getting in a tussle who else would it be and brother josh just that's kind of what i'm thinking at this point but also like are you gonna call the

cops and your brother why don't you call your brother like what is this also what did you mean when you said i'm not gonna write about we just like don't what is it we don't know what what is it what is it i want to know i want to know but josh sees them scuffling and runs in and just starts punching Taylor. Oh, my God. Because we've gotten a little bit of information that he's kind of a fuck up before. He's been in jail before. Okay. Yeah, man.

Josh needs to chill. But he hits Taylor into the tub where he hits his head in one of those bad ways and just is immediately unconscious oh no no and so they're kind of like oh fuck oh fuck michelle comes in again on ecstasy and it's like what the fuck is going on feels his pulse he's alive okay they're all like freaking out they go outside and they're like okay fuck fuck fuck what do we do what. They go outside and they're like, okay, fuck, fuck, fuck. What do we do? What do we do? And they're like, well, we have to call the cops. Like he needs medical attention. And they're like, but like, but Josh did it to him.

Like, well, Josh go to jail. And as they're fighting, we go into the bathroom and we see Taylor passed out in the bathtub and just see a man in black come in and put his hand put his hand over his mouth and like suffocate him and kill him oh my god oh my god and then

disappear I didn't see that coming I did I thought it was him I thought it was him. I know. I thought it was him. I know. We'll never know what he meant by I won't rat you out. I think he really just meant the dog, I guess. Oh, he meant the dog.

So he's only racist. He's not a pervert. There's more than one type of bad person. Oh, God. One bad doesn't mean all bad many people can be bad simultaneously oh and so many different ways god so okay so then they like they're still fighting but then they're like okay no like we have to call the cops he needs an ambulance they go back in they go back in and he is they find that he is dead and now they're

like oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck and michelle is the only one now who like still is like well we still have to call the cops like sorry like this is what's happening this is the reality like josh killed him and yeah it sucks and yeah josh is gonna go to jail but like there's no fucking other way to handle this like that's she's fucking rolling exactly and she's the only one with her wits about her somehow type a man uh charlie like kind of puts his foot down and he's like no this is my brother he'll spend the rest of his life in prison for this like i'm not letting that happen and uh oh and taylor had said something as he got there that he was drunk. He was like, you guys like called me and I'm actually kind of drunk. But, you know, whatever.

I can fix the jacuzzi and I better just like head right back. I've been drinking all night. And so Charlie says something like he was drunk. So maybe he just fell off the cliff. Like and Michelle is like, we are not having this conversation. And he's like, Michelle, just go in the room like you don't have to be a part of this. But this is what we're doing. Doesn't matter.

It's all on tape. Yeah. Which Charlie should know. Oh, that's the other thing. Yes. which Charlie should know oh that's the other thing yes is now they now they do confess that because now they're thinking the guy

who filmed them is dead and so now they're thinking right they're thinking they can say about the cameras and all they need to do is like find where the footage is and destroy it find that

I don't know I don't know oh no but yeah that's like mina like had said to michelle like i'm so sorry like i was being filmed and i wasn't sure if it was real and i was trying to ignore it and i just like got into a fight and that's like how the fight started so now everybody knows that there are the cameras at least in the showers um and she's like yeah no we got to call the cops and he's like no we're not calling the cops we're gonna go throw his body off of the cliff and then we're gonna find the fucking source of like where the footage is being recorded to and michelle like goes to the bedroom and like lays down on the bed and she's so mad um and uh

and charlie comes in to like comfort her and he's like you're not you know you're not a part of this it's okay like you're not going to be implicated and she's like i'm an accomplice to murder like same as you and same as mina like if they find out like we're all gonna go to jail like and he's like no don't worry like I'm gonna take care of it and this is all gonna be over soon and she says this will never be over great line great line

so she's kind of laying in bed so who did James Franco murder what what is the real life parallel here it's got to be a true story and i want to know what happened um so the three of them take taylor to throw him off the cliff they throw him and he lands on like a little rock landing that's like too close that he probably wouldn't have died on and so they're like fuck and they're trying to throw rocks at him to like knock him off

and it shows big rocks like hitting his head it's really gross so it's going to look like he was fucking murdered by Rob. Yeah, there's no way that the cops would find this body and be like he fell. But yeah, I mean, they're not thinking it through. And this is intercut now with Michelle back at the house by herself. And we hear a shower. and we hear a shower. And she gets up and is like,

who's showering? And goes into her room shower. Nobody's in there. And it's kind of turning on and off. And she's like, which room is it coming from? She goes into another room. Nobody's in there. She goes upstairs in that shower. No one's in in that shower and it just keeps turning off and on and then on the tv upstairs it turns on and it's the video

of charlie and mina having sex in the shower oh my god and so we just see her see it and look stunned and then we cut back to josh has climbed down to shove taylor off and it's kind of stressful but he makes it and he doesn't he doesn't fall but he knocks taylor's body off into the water and climbs back up. And they're like, okay, now we just have to find where the tape is so we can destroy it. And as they're walking back towards the house, a man like appears behind them and just like crosses frame behind them. Oh my God, that is so scary. It's so scary. And i was watching the movie with all the lights off and this is when i turned lights back on i was like nope nope nope no fuck no

and he's he kind of is look he looks kind of michael myers-esque he's wearing like kind of a jumpsuit and a white mask but we haven't gotten a good look at him yet. But he's got kind of a Michael Myers-y vibe. And it's really scary. The music is really scary in that moment. They don't notice him. They don't see him. They just walk back to the house. I hate that.

I hate that. I hate that. I hate that. And as they get back to the house, Michelle floors it away in the car. And they only have one car. Uh-oh. And Charlie runs after she stops he like bangs on the window and is like i'm so sorry like i know this is all so stressful and like don't worry

it's over and she's like crying and she's like no i i saw you i saw you and mina and he's like oh my god i'm so sorry that was a mistake that was such a big mistake and it meant nothing and i'm so sorry but first things first like where did you find the footage and she's like and just drives off and um josh and mina are like what the fuck like is she going to the cops what's she doing where is she going and he's like no she's not gonna go to the cops she might i would i would um but but like i'm getting myself out of this fucking mess man yeah but he like thinks he's she's only mad about him now uh egomania yeah he's a bit he's a bit of a narcissist. Look, in the fucking hierarchy of things to be concerned about, being implicated for murder is above your husband cheating on you. Sorry, dude.

Yep. But they're like, I guess she'll probably be back. Let's go find the videotapes. Okay, so then we follow Michelle as she's driving, kind of crying. It's pitch black. They're in the middle of nowhere, so there's no, like, streetlights. It's completely dark. And she, like, hits something with her car, with the tire.

And the car kind of loses control of the car. And the car goes off the road, and she hits a tree. Oh, no. And she's not super far from the house, but far enough that they wouldn't hear it. Maybe a mile. And she's like, fuck, goddammit. She's so mad. She gets out of the car to try to see what she hit.

And it's a little blanket of spikes that someone laid down. And so she's like, what the fuck? She kind of hurries back into the car and she starts texting Charlie. And she's like, car ran off the road. Like, I'm pretty freaked out. And right as she sends the text, we see like the shot is like the profile of her in the car.

And we see a man coming towards the car window holding like a weapon. And it cuts out before we see what happens. But she's in trouble in trouble yeah not good and so then we go back to the house and charlie has gotten her text and is is like oh god i gotta go help michelle she her the car broke down i gotta go get go get her. You guys stay here. So he walks out to go get her and finds her and sees that she's not in the car. And he calls her cell phone and hears it ringing and sees it lighting up like someone holding it like like 20 feet away and starts like walking towards. And he's like, oh, my God my god you scared me i didn't know where you and then as he's walking he trips over her dead body yep and so he looks down and as he

registers it he looks back up and gets a hammer in the head and the guy just, like, beats his head with a hammer. Holy shit. And he dies. Oh, my God. Two gone. Two left. So, Mina and Josh are now back at the house trying to break into that locked underneath part. Because they're, like, it's probably in there. They think the footage is there. They're, like, imagining that.

He, like, says, like, I keep, like, thinking we're going to find, like, a fucking control room, room like full of tvs um they break into it not really how footage works right he he they manage to break the door down they get in there and it's kind of just like what you'd imagine a basement to look like it's just like boxes and stuff they don't really find anything and he's like okay it doesn't look like anything's down here. I guess you look in the house. I'll try to, I'll like go through the rest of this stuff just in case. And so she goes upstairs and he is still in the basement and a little door like pops open while he's down there by himself. And he's like about to go in and it looks like a very creepy room but just as he's about to go in it he gets a text and we see him look at his phone and look like confused and then

he goes upstairs to talk to Mina and Mina's up there and he's like, I just got a text from Charlie and it's a video. And the video clip is just her and Charlie at the breakfast table saying, we can never do that again. Like, that was a mistake. And he's like, what's this video? Like, what can't you do again? What was a mistake? And she's like, I don't know. I don't know what that

means. And he's like, what's going on? She's like, I don't know. I don't know. And then he gets another video or another text that's just a screenshot of her in the shower. And he's like, why does Charlie have this photo of you in the shower? And she's like, I don't know what's happening. Delete that. Don't look at that then he gets a text of the of the full video and he like is like looking at her like feeling so betrayed and just storms out and he's like oh my god oh my god and then they hear the front door open and he josh is like charlie i'm gonna fucking kill you and like runs downstairs to confront what he thinks will be charlie yeah why does he think charlie is sending this to him right um i guess he's not thinking you wouldn't i don't think you would think that no yeah as he

goes downstairs we see him looking around the house for for Charlie from the POV of all of the hidden cameras. So there's cameras in like every room. So it's him going room to room and we're seeing it all from security camera footage. Ew, no, no, no. And then eventually he opens a closet and the man pops out, hits him in the head with the hammer. Ew, I hate this weapon of choice. I know. That was one of the complaints in the reviews was like, he killed everybody with a hammer.

Why not switch it up? And I was like, what? Because the hammer works. Seems to be working. Like, he has a hammer. Was he supposed to have a bunch of weapons? I thought that was a funny complaint um but so now they're kind of uh josh like tries to get up to run away he can't he's you know

dying bleeding profusely from the head and then he kind of collapses at the foot of the stairs mina is upstairs still at the top of those stairs. And she's kind of walking down being like, she's hearing a commotion and she's like, what's going on? Like Josh, are you okay? And, um,

as she's coming down, the man is moving towards her to go kill her now. And Josh has just like a little bit of life left and goes to like trip him. And the man turns around and uses the back of the hammer and does that like pickaxe and it shows it right into that skull and that's what mina sees she like comes down just in time for that runs back upstairs and he chases after her and the balcony door is open he runs up to the balcony door and sees her shoe um on the on the ground below the balcony assuming that she jumped off the balcony and so he runs downstairs

to to run after her and she is hidden in the room hell yes bitch also kind of reminiscent of halloween yeah um a lot of Michael Myers influence. Again, not a bad thing. Halloween. Not a bad thing. It's a good movie. So she sneaks out. She sneaks out, but she's like hyperventilating.

She's not being super quiet. She's trying to run out of this house. And we just. With no car and a murderer. Not great odds. And so she's like hyperventilating we're getting a tracking shot of her running through the whole house and then he just comes out right beside her and grabs her they kind of tumble she stabs him with something i don't know what she had it looks like maybe a pen i don't know. We didn't like see her grab it.

I don't think. Okay. But stabs him kind of in the face with that. And they in there in the fight. She tumbles down the stairs of the patio and hurts herself. She's barefoot one foot because she threw her shoe off. And so she like I think has cut her barefoot on something. So she like screams in pain and looks back up to the top of the stairs where he is standing looking down at her with a pen sticking out of his cheek.

And he just slowly pulls it out as he stared as he like looks at her. And she like jumps up to run away. She runs into the woods. He runs after her. She's like hobbling running because she's injured and he's chasing after her. But she does have a little bit of a head start and does kind of hide behind a tree. She makes another run for it.

He spots her again. He's chasing her. He's much faster than her. And she's so frantic that she just runs off the side of the cliff. She doesn't see it and she's just so desperate to get away that she falls off the cliff and he just stands at the end of the edge of the cliff looking down and we just hear him being like oh my god and then he goes back inside. He, like, wipes off his hammer. He throws it into the guy's truck,

the tailor's truck, I think, and picks up all of his stuff. He goes through and takes out each of the cameras, of which there are many, as we have now seen. There's been basically one, or at least one, in every room. And then he just, like, looks at himself in the mirror in a very with his mask still on. It's just like and we're now getting like a good look at and it's just like a wrinkly old man mask that kind of looks like the grandpa in Texas Chainsaw Massacre. It's so creepy. And he like as he's looking at himself in the mirror pulls it off but it cuts away before we see i have a theory i can't wait to find out but i have a theory and then we cut to him the sun is coming up now it's like dawn and we he's in the living room and it's from behind him

so we just see his like shape he's just a man a mystery man and reggie walks in. He took the dog. Reggie is not dead. And he leans down to kind of go pet Reggie. And Reggie kind of moves away like Reggie is scared of him. Some good dog acting. Great. Good job, Chunk. And the man just gets in his car and leaves.

He leaves Reggie there. Then we come back up in another place. A woman opening a door being like, oh, hey, like, here's the here's the key. Like, have a good weekend. Like, enjoy your stay. And we see this man now in a new rental place for the weekend and setting up a bunch more cameras. He makes a copy of the key and he just like sits in there in his nasty mask. And then we cut to the camera view of other families.

Now in this new house, credits playing. Credits are playing over just like a very like a young couple in this house so him just like watching various people in this rental home and then there's another couple doing like face masks and then it shows them laying in their bed at night and like asleep and the lights are out and it just holds on this shot for a long time and he comes out of the closet and like lunges at them and it cuts and that's the end oh my god yeah it's it's really scary i mean it's just he's just he's nobody. He's just a random sociopath. He's just a random man who just so he rents Airbnbs, makes copy the key, puts in a bunch of cameras and then just waits until there's somebody there he wants to kill.

Yep. Oh, my God. So the brother thing of Tyler has nothing to do with anything to do with it. It's a red herring. Oh, my God. Yeah. Um, I was really,

I was really scared after, I mean, the last shot is so scary. He just looks scary. And it's the thing where you're scanning the screen. He could be anywhere. I had to check like every inch of my house before I could go to bed. I was just like terrified.

Yeah, I bet Henley would have thought this film was scary. I think so too. I was thinking that while I was watching it. Henley. Henley, if you're listening. I know you'll listen, Henley, and you'll think this movie is scary. And she'll say, I think I'm going to watch this one. No, she won't want to watch this one.

She thinks real life sociopaths are the scariest thing the only scary thing it really was scary and I was reading a review that said something like the amount of trust we put in strangers is really scary and I that line of that review really scared me

and I was like oh god no And that line of that review really scared me. And I was like, oh, God. No. Oh, man. Yeah, it's scary. But to circle back to my ex-boyfriend, I thought it was funny. I can bring this home, bring it full circle. Thank you.

One time I rented an Airbnb for us for his birthday and he had a full blown panic attack and was like certain that someone was going to murder us. It was like in. Oh, my God. It was in Joshua Tree. And it's kind of like a quirky little place like it had, you know, like, I don't know, cow skulls on the walls type of thing, like normal, normal desert decor. know cow skulls on the walls type of thing like normal normal desert decor um but he he was he freaked out he wouldn't let me sleep i like was falling asleep he's like you can't sleep we're gonna fucking die oh it was that serious he like not he he didn't just think that he was freaking out about it he thought it was real yes um yes and he wouldn't let you sleep let me sleep and i had to read him a bedtime story and he eventually was like okay that was nice thank you

and he went to sleep now we won't get murdered because i heard a story but it was just so funny because i've always told that story to make fun of him and now i was like he was right he was right he was right i spent i me and my now ex-husband but we spent the in a large chunk of our honeymoon thinking we were going to get murdered because we rented like a cabin in the woods yep and and it was like during the day very charming at night i i truly was like oh we will get murdered we will get murdered here and we and it's so funny to be like on your honeymoon and to spend four days certain you're going to get murdered and just like pretending you're not scared as the sun

sets every day being like let's play cards and have dinner and just like so terrified of the it is I mean being in a strange place you're so out of your element and it's very especially if it's isolated you don't know who's

around you anyone could pop up. Who's to fucking say a serial killer didn't set up cameras before you were there? Well, we didn't die, but those relationships did. Wow. Very scary. Very scary. What's going on with the brotherhood of dave and joseph i gotta know i've gotta know um did we learn anything um did we learn anything we learned

um don't go to sleep when everybody else does mall. Okay, that was what I wrote down too. I'm victim blaming. I wrote down always do ecstasy on the same night. Don't try to. Always do it on the same night as your friends. Yeah, let's coordinate here. Let's get on the same page. And, you know, I think another lesson to, you know, not fully put it on her. Before you marry someone, ask all the questions. Just know, just questions. Just know.

Just know. Just know the full picture. Yeah. And that's not to say that the marriage will necessarily work out, but at least you'll know what the deal is. Oh, boy. Oh, wow. Look at this.

Is this our first ever Just Us episode, you and me? No, we did Quiet Place. You're right. We did. Second ever. We did. Second ever. Second one. Second ever. Wow. us episode you and me no we did quiet place you're right we did second we did second one second ever wow um well but we've got some we've got some guests next week we do and then and then we'll have henley back soon yeah henley either that week or the week after i don't know yeah i don't know she's doing a big old move. Yeah, when she's settled. But we're desperate to have her

back because we just love her and it's not the same without her. No. Oh, man. I miss her. I miss her. We miss her. Henley, we miss you. Henley, we miss you. And listeners, we love you. And we love you. I think that's it.

I think that's all she wrote. I think that's it for this week. That's all she wrote. That's all we said. And we're done. And we're done. Goodbye. So, goodbye. Hi, everybody. Thank you for listening to another episode of Too Scary Didn't Watch.
