So they decide, I guess, to go to this new town by a hotel motel holiday and you beat me there. 315 00:16:28,980 --> 00:16:30,980 I just had to be done. 316 00:16:30,980 --> 00:16:32,980 It wasn't a holiday and it was a motorway. 317 00:16:32,980 --> 00:16:39,980 Then like try to start new and fresh where nobody knows that he's an adulterer. 318 00:16:39,980 --> 00:16:43,980 She's a bill popper and they killed their child through negligence. 319 00:16:43,980 --> 00:16:44,980 Yeah. 320 00:16:43,980 --> 00:16:44,980 Allegedly. 321 00:16:44,980 --> 00:16:50,980 Yeah. And the cop uses that against him when trying to like get him to either one confessor, find out where Ben is. 322 00:16:50,980 --> 00:16:52,980 Again, there's no subtlety to this performance. 323 00:16:52,980 --> 00:16:59,980 So after Ray finds Ben in the desert, Ben's about to tell him something but get shot out of nowhere. 324 00:16:59,980 --> 00:17:04,980 And then you see a car suspiciously like a cop car. 325 00:17:04,980 --> 00:17:05,980 No, it wasn't a cop car. 326 00:17:05,980 --> 00:17:07,980 But now it's just generic like old sedan. 327 00:17:07,980 --> 00:17:10,980 But he comes back to the motel. 328 00:17:10,980 --> 00:17:17,980 Cops there, his apartment is like has been tossed and he sees the blue sex light on in room 10. 329 00:17:17,980 --> 00:17:23,980 It is weird how that room just has like a light specifically for when people are boning down. 330 00:17:23,980 --> 00:17:32,980 Yeah. So he goes into the crawlspace to find his wife is handcuffed to the bed and the cop has been the villain all along. 331 00:17:32,980 --> 00:17:36,980 He killed both girls because he's a piece of shit. 332 00:17:36,980 --> 00:17:38,980 I assume it's a power thing. 333 00:17:38,980 --> 00:17:49,980 Yeah. So his plan was to shoot Ray as soon as he came through the door, then rape and kill the wife and then make it look like a murder suicide. 334 00:17:49,980 --> 00:17:57,980 Yeah. Which if you shoot a guy as he walks in a door, the coroner would have questions unless he is the coroner because there are only five people who live in this like town. 335 00:17:57,980 --> 00:18:07,980 But also it's one of those like really contrived moments to where he's explaining his whole master plan to her while Nick Cage is watching through the two way mirror. 336 00:18:07,980 --> 00:18:11,980 He's behind the glass. He should have a gun, but he like knocks on the glass. 337 00:18:11,980 --> 00:18:14,980 So the cop comes over and then he tackles the cop through the glass. 338 00:18:14,980 --> 00:18:17,980 He could have just shot him. Yeah, because in the end he shoots him anyway. 339 00:18:17,980 --> 00:18:24,980 It makes the most sense in my head that the cop had his gun because they were the same gun. 340 00:18:24,980 --> 00:18:27,980 I think criminal science investigation. 341 00:18:27,980 --> 00:18:36,980 But again, if you shoot like it's hard to like and suicide from across the room, which I'm pretty sure this director did direct some episodes of NCIS. 342 00:18:36,980 --> 00:18:44,980 I mean, it doesn't make it better for me. So yeah, kills a cop, gets his wife, gets her in the car, trucker comes in, asks if room tens available. 343 00:18:44,980 --> 00:18:48,980 They don't say anything. Get in the car. They just may drive off beat up and bloody. 344 00:18:48,980 --> 00:18:53,980 Yeah. And then can I fucking 10, please? And then a slow. 345 00:18:53,980 --> 00:18:57,980 Yes, I hated the slow. Yes. The end. 346 00:18:57,980 --> 00:19:06,980 Incredible. I just I have from the horizon and slow zooming in fucking gold. It was so hokey. 347 00:19:06,980 --> 00:19:15,980 God, I love real bad. I mean, really, the only thing I have to say about this film is this could be the same generic action cage from Red Rock West. 348 00:19:15,980 --> 00:19:24,980 Yeah. Like if you if you just took that that concept of him just rolling into small towns, doing a thing, having to deal with something and then rolling out. 349 00:19:24,980 --> 00:19:28,980 Yeah. Like fucking for sure. But Red Rock West was so good. Yeah. Yeah. 350 00:19:28,980 --> 00:19:33,980 And this was bad. I think the thing that bugs me about this is like the movie's not actually like bad. 351 00:19:33,980 --> 00:19:39,980 It's just not good. It's so middling. It's just written so poorly. 352 00:19:39,980 --> 00:19:44,980 But also what's the plan now? Are they just on the run forever because they just drive out of town? There's a dead cop. 353 00:19:44,980 --> 00:19:49,980 You still own that fucking motel. Yeah. Yeah. The other owner's dead in the desert. 354 00:19:49,980 --> 00:19:54,980 Maybe they went to the cop shop. We don't know. Again, terrible cop. 355 00:19:54,980 --> 00:20:00,980 Oh, and so, yeah, it is a bad cop. The cop assumes that Ben had witnessed the first murder. 356 00:20:00,980 --> 00:20:09,980 And that's why he was so eager to sell the motel and get out of Dodge. Again, it's just a bad written film. Yeah, it's got fucking holes. 357 00:20:09,980 --> 00:20:20,980 So I did have one kind of an tunnels this rural scene, this rural reaction to this movie where I was actually like creeped out is when he first gets to the motel 358 00:20:20,980 --> 00:20:32,980 and he's walking around with a flashlight, just inspecting the place in my early 20s, a local businessman in my neighborhood bought a corner motel in the middle of San Francisco was going to renovate and stuff, 359 00:20:32,980 --> 00:20:44,980 but needed cheap people to watch it for a couple nights just to make sure like there were no squatters. So some friends of mine and I agreed for like 50 bucks to like hang out in an empty motel for a weekend. 360 00:20:44,980 --> 00:20:51,980 And we just had to like fucking awesome. It was. But we had to walk the perimeter like every couple hours. 361 00:20:51,980 --> 00:20:59,980 So three in the morning by myself walking around a motel, just shining lights in windows is a terrifying experience. 362 00:20:59,980 --> 00:21:07,980 You're like, I know I'm not going to see something, but what if I saw something? I am we. I have like I have a tiny shitty flashlight. 363 00:21:07,980 --> 00:21:19,980 I think probably like the only job I've ever legitimately been fired from. I was like a night desk attendant for a dorm in college somewhere. 364 00:21:19,980 --> 00:21:21,980 Not your college, just a college. 365 00:21:21,980 --> 00:21:30,980 I mean, I was going to that college, just what I've gone to numerous. Remember, I'm a well-learned man, a well-learned construction worker. 366 00:21:30,980 --> 00:21:35,980 I can catcall like the best of them. I was doing night shit. 367 00:21:35,980 --> 00:21:41,980 So it's like I be bugging at the desk and then like have to walk around a dorm while everybody's asleep. 368 00:21:41,980 --> 00:21:48,980 And like you're kind of listening because you're supposed to be rooting out like partiers and stuff like that. 369 00:21:48,980 --> 00:21:55,980 Oh, yeah, they fired me because I was not because I was drunk all the time, but because I was you were getting the other students drunk. 370 00:21:55,980 --> 00:22:02,980 No, I was getting too drunk on Sundays, so I couldn't work Mondays or like I can work Sunday night. 371 00:22:02,980 --> 00:22:12,980 Were you partying in that dorm on your days off? I got invited to a couple, but I couldn't remember the room because you were drunk. 372 00:22:12,980 --> 00:22:18,980 One day, one of the Saudi students came up to me like Nick, Nick, you smell like wine. 373 00:22:18,980 --> 00:22:23,980 It's like, shut up, Habibi. I know I do. 374 00:22:23,980 --> 00:22:26,980 All right, let's talk about Tommy more. Yeah, Tommy was great. 375 00:22:26,980 --> 00:22:36,980 OK, the best Tommy line for sure was after he and Nick Cage are talking about the pig that got thrown in the in the pool. 376 00:22:36,980 --> 00:22:45,980 A pig got thrown in the hole. Yeah, it was like gutted thrown in the pool and there was a photo of the chick who died before he owned the motorway. 377 00:22:45,980 --> 00:22:49,980 Yeah, which I'm sure made a lot of sense to him. 378 00:22:49,980 --> 00:22:58,980 So they have this like very serious conversation and then there's just a pause and Tommy's just like, well, I got to do my duty to my wiener 379 00:22:58,980 --> 00:23:07,980 and just sort of slips in some cash from the bill of his hat and takes the key and wanders off and it's like, well, sorry, you're having a hard day. 380 00:23:07,980 --> 00:23:11,980 And people are throwing bloody ass pig carcasses in your pool. 381 00:23:11,980 --> 00:23:19,980 But I'm not opposed to slipping in something dirty. So I'm going to Tommy. Tommy is the MVP of this movie. Oh, absolutely. 382 00:23:19,980 --> 00:23:27,980 Definitely. So on IMDB quotes, there were three lines for Ray. Yeah, they're like for them, you know, give us all of them. 383 00:23:27,980 --> 00:23:33,980 God damn you, Fox. Stay the fuck away from my motel. 384 00:23:33,980 --> 00:23:38,980 Back up. Back the fuck up. Back up. Well, so OK, the stay the fuck away from my motel. 385 00:23:38,980 --> 00:23:46,980 I have that as my favorite quote. But the reason I really like that is he's talking to the sex worker as he's like confronted her in the bar. 386 00:23:46,980 --> 00:23:52,980 He's in like we got her name. They don't have names like dirty blonde or something. They don't even give her a credited name. 387 00:23:52,980 --> 00:23:59,980 Wow, that's somehow worse. It is worse. Well, she gets like multiple names. It's Kelsey is the one she gives herself at the bar. 388 00:23:59,980 --> 00:24:03,980 So he's pistol whipped the bartender or security guard or whatever. 389 00:24:03,980 --> 00:24:09,980 And then he's yelling at her and he says, stay the fuck away from my motel. The the motorway motel. 390 00:24:09,980 --> 00:24:12,980 Oh, that's right. It's like, yeah, dude, we all fucking know. 391 00:24:12,980 --> 00:24:15,980 Yeah. And you just talked to her about you just follow. 392 00:24:15,980 --> 00:24:19,980 Also, she stays there. She knows what the fucking motel is. 393 00:24:19,980 --> 00:24:23,980 I kind of want to watch the trailers moving, see if they actually like make it look interesting. 394 00:24:23,980 --> 00:24:31,980 Dude, they didn't. Because remember in episode zero, before we did anything, I watched 64 Nick Cage trailers. 395 00:24:31,980 --> 00:24:35,980 You are the true hero. You didn't watch 64. You watched 75. 396 00:24:35,980 --> 00:24:39,980 I did, you're right, because I thinned the herd. Yeah, you called. 397 00:24:39,980 --> 00:24:45,980 So, yeah, I think that was pretty much anything anyone gets. Oh, wait, were there any fun facts? No, there weren't. 398 00:24:45,980 --> 00:24:51,980 Yeah, I wrote box office gross, seventy six thousand seven hundred eighty eight. Ha ha. Yeah. 399 00:24:51,980 --> 00:24:59,980 Weirdly enough, that is less money than that one Raiders player made on a Pokemon card. 400 00:24:59,980 --> 00:25:03,980 Like, no, I'm going to retire. I just sold this Pokemon card. 401 00:25:03,980 --> 00:25:08,980 Speaking of other things that don't quite make sense, the color of space. 402 00:25:08,980 --> 00:25:11,980 Oh, what a transition. We had to get there somewhere. 403 00:25:11,980 --> 00:25:17,980 Twenty twenty film adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's story of the same name 404 00:25:17,980 --> 00:25:22,980 about a meteorite that falls into a small farm outside the city of Arkham 405 00:25:22,980 --> 00:25:26,980 and brings along with it a strange living color that mutates the life around it. 406 00:25:26,980 --> 00:25:28,980 The strange color is magenta. Yeah. 407 00:25:28,980 --> 00:25:32,980 OK, so I was reading a little bit about this because color interests me. 408 00:25:32,980 --> 00:25:40,980 And the reason they chose magenta is because it's actually a color that the rods of the human eye don't naturally absorb 409 00:25:40,980 --> 00:25:44,980 because it's made up of two different colors, red and blue. 410 00:25:44,980 --> 00:25:48,980 So science pod. Yeah. Yeah. Color pod. 411 00:25:48,980 --> 00:25:53,980 So the first thing I have to say about this film is it is beautiful. 412 00:25:53,980 --> 00:25:56,980 Oh, yeah. Visually astounding film. 413 00:25:56,980 --> 00:25:59,980 The production quality of this movie was actually really good. 414 00:25:59,980 --> 00:26:07,980 Even the opening voiceover scene where it's just the foggy hills outside Arkham are just astoundingly shot. 415 00:26:07,980 --> 00:26:10,980 The framing, the cinematography in this film is great. 416 00:26:10,980 --> 00:26:15,980 And it's immediately ruined by the first scene of the characters real quick. 417 00:26:15,980 --> 00:26:19,980 Lavinia. Yeah. Nicholas Cage plays Nathan Gardner. 418 00:26:19,980 --> 00:26:24,980 His wife is played by Jolie Richardson, who plays Teresa. 419 00:26:24,980 --> 00:26:27,980 And Madeline Arthur plays Lavinia, their daughter. 420 00:26:27,980 --> 00:26:33,980 Elliot Knight plays Ward, a what does he do again? Hydrologist. 421 00:26:33,980 --> 00:26:37,980 Hydrologist. He's a survey inspector for a reservoir going in. 422 00:26:37,980 --> 00:26:39,980 And Tommy Chong as Ezra. 423 00:26:39,980 --> 00:26:43,980 There's a couple other kids who aren't out. We'll talk about too much. 424 00:26:43,980 --> 00:26:50,980 I think the three characters like if you pulled any three characters, it's just Nick Cage, Elliot Knight and Tommy Chong. 425 00:26:50,980 --> 00:26:53,980 I don't think anybody else was noteworthy enough. 426 00:26:53,980 --> 00:26:59,980 So beautiful, beautiful shot of the forest, which is immediately ruined by Lavinia, 427 00:26:59,980 --> 00:27:06,980 her teenage daughter in a cape and white dress trying to cast spells in like a Wiccan circle. 428 00:27:06,980 --> 00:27:10,980 And I just have to say white bitches. Am I right? 429 00:27:10,980 --> 00:27:12,980 Wasn't Wiccan. It was Alexandrian. 430 00:27:12,980 --> 00:27:15,980 No, it wasn't. It was Wiccan. He asked if it was Wiccan or Alexandrian. 431 00:27:15,980 --> 00:27:19,980 And she said yes. And he said Alexandrian. She's like, that's your second mistake. 432 00:27:19,980 --> 00:27:23,980 Oh, I fucked that up. That's my first mistake. 433 00:27:23,980 --> 00:27:27,980 No, it's your second. Your first was doing this podcast. 434 00:27:27,980 --> 00:27:30,980 Wait, Nick, is this how you feel every time you correct me? 435 00:27:30,980 --> 00:27:33,980 Powerful. Yeah. Yes. I like it. 436 00:27:33,980 --> 00:27:38,980 I thought it was funny. Like the first time I watched the movie, we got to like that opening. 437 00:27:38,980 --> 00:27:43,980 I was like, oh, this is going to be terrible. It's like it's pretty, but this is bad. 438 00:27:43,980 --> 00:27:51,980 But then the second time watching it's like, oh, no, she's definitely like just like in stupid high school age 439 00:27:51,980 --> 00:27:57,980 alternative girl, like experimenting in alternative religions and stuff like that. 440 00:27:57,980 --> 00:28:03,980 Well, and like witchcraft and stuff, that's all part of Lovecraft's writing, but it's the weakest part of his writing. 441 00:28:03,980 --> 00:28:09,980 This movie does such a great job of like trying to build a Lovecraft universe because this was supposed to be the first part of a trilogy. 442 00:28:09,980 --> 00:28:15,980 The director of this film, Richard Stanley. Yeah, he made this. He wanted to make two others. 443 00:28:15,980 --> 00:28:18,980 The next the second one was going to be the Dunwich Horror. 444 00:28:18,980 --> 00:28:28,980 I believe it was going to end with Call of Cthulhu and he immediately got dropped from the studio for domestic abuse allegations. 445 00:28:28,980 --> 00:28:32,980 Yeah, which is a shame because it was a spoiler. This movie is a lot of fun. 446 00:28:32,980 --> 00:28:36,980 Yeah, it's no looking glass, but you know, it'll get you there. Yeah. 447 00:28:36,980 --> 00:28:39,980 But really, what is? Oh, OK. 448 00:28:39,980 --> 00:28:43,980 Complete non sequitur, but still, I guess it's not a complete non sequitur. 449 00:28:43,980 --> 00:28:51,980 Immediately unrelated to this part of the conversation when Nathan, Nick Cage's character is getting interviewed by the news. 450 00:28:51,980 --> 00:28:55,980 They just call him a bourbon enthusiast because he said he had had. 451 00:28:55,980 --> 00:28:59,980 I like to I enjoy a glass of bourbon every once in a while. 452 00:28:59,980 --> 00:29:06,980 Bourbon enthusiasm. Yes. Discussing his UFO sighting. Just fucking him on the Chiron. Oh, my God. 453 00:29:06,980 --> 00:29:12,980 That was good. Getting back to what I was saying, this movie does a really good job of trying to like build the world of HP Lovecraft. 454 00:29:12,980 --> 00:29:17,980 You know, they live outside Arkham. They mention a few other places. 455 00:29:17,980 --> 00:29:26,980 They mentioned Innsmouth on the news, Dunwich, Kingsport and even Ward where is a misatonic university, which is a tonic. 456 00:29:26,980 --> 00:29:33,980 Yeah, which is commonly used in Lovecraft stories, which is where the actual Necronomicon is housed. 457 00:29:33,980 --> 00:29:38,980 And of course, Lavinia just has a paperback version of the Necronomicon. Yeah. 458 00:29:38,980 --> 00:29:43,980 Purple Rock falls out of space, has a different effect on every member of the family. 459 00:29:43,980 --> 00:29:47,980 And then things start getting weird. Oh, other important plot point for this. 460 00:29:47,980 --> 00:29:52,980 They're alpaca farmers because, according to Nick Cage, they're the animal of the future. 461 00:29:52,980 --> 00:29:54,980 Yeah. Alpacas are cool. 462 00:29:54,980 --> 00:29:56,980 The alpacas are cool. 463 00:29:56,980 --> 00:30:02,980 He milks them and there's like this prolonged scene where he's talking about like how you have to be gentle and you don't get a lot out of me. 464 00:30:02,980 --> 00:30:04,980 He gets one good squirt and his son's just like, it's good one dad. 465 00:30:04,980 --> 00:30:08,980 He's like, I know. Then he offers a sip to Ward and Ward's like, I'm left goes intolerant. 466 00:30:08,980 --> 00:30:13,980 It's like your loss. And then he just sips a warm straight from the teat. 467 00:30:13,980 --> 00:30:17,980 My next note was, mmm, alpaca milk. 468 00:30:17,980 --> 00:30:22,980 Well, you gotta feed them fennel. It improves the taste and the yield. 469 00:30:22,980 --> 00:30:25,980 Yes. Speaking of fennel flavored milk. 470 00:30:25,980 --> 00:30:32,980 Speaking of groping the mammary glands of another creature, another sexually frustrated cage in this film. 471 00:30:32,980 --> 00:30:34,980 Him and his wife haven't done it for. 472 00:30:34,980 --> 00:30:36,980 That was a rough fucking segue. 473 00:30:36,980 --> 00:30:38,980 Yeah, dude. 474 00:30:38,980 --> 00:30:42,980 This is just, this is a theme in Nick Cage films and I thought it was worth mentioning it. 475 00:30:42,980 --> 00:30:43,980 And we were talking about milking. 476 00:30:43,980 --> 00:30:46,980 Also, she just had a mastectomy. That was the issue. 477 00:30:46,980 --> 00:30:48,980 That's rude, Sean. 478 00:30:48,980 --> 00:30:51,980 Yeah. I mean, he's gotta get him somewhere. 479 00:30:51,980 --> 00:30:56,980 I don't know. That was a weird plot point in this film that they bring up just to bring it up. 480 00:30:56,980 --> 00:31:01,980 I'm assuming it's trying to tie into the body horror later in the film, but it's done clumsily. 481 00:31:01,980 --> 00:31:16,980 Yeah, I mean, it's used in Lavinia's like justification for Lavinia's witchcraft because she's trying to cast or do a ritual to like keep the cancer away from her mom. 482 00:31:16,980 --> 00:31:19,980 Again, it doesn't need to be anywhere in this film. 483 00:31:19,980 --> 00:31:24,980 Yeah, but I mean, how do you introduce her wickedness? 484 00:31:24,980 --> 00:31:28,980 You just do like Beetlejuice. You have like a depressed teen. 485 00:31:28,980 --> 00:31:30,980 That would have been better. 486 00:31:30,980 --> 00:31:35,980 I mean, nobody's going to argue that this movie is better than Beetlejuice. 487 00:31:35,980 --> 00:31:37,980 Beetlejuice doesn't have Tommy Chung playing a... 488 00:31:37,980 --> 00:31:41,980 That was three times. You can't say it three times. 489 00:31:41,980 --> 00:31:42,980 Uh oh, fuck. 490 00:31:42,980 --> 00:31:46,980 We're in for a wild ride now. 491 00:31:46,980 --> 00:31:48,980 It's gonna be like that cat in the hat thing all over again. 492 00:31:48,980 --> 00:31:53,980 Yeah. Yeah, so mom's got no boobs and daughter is a witch. 493 00:31:53,980 --> 00:31:54,980 This is where we left off. 494 00:31:54,980 --> 00:31:56,980 Son is a stoner. 495 00:31:56,980 --> 00:32:02,980 Youngest son is a baby and carries around his stuffed dinosaur the whole movie because he's a wimp. 496 00:32:02,980 --> 00:32:04,980 A baby of like ten. 497 00:32:04,980 --> 00:32:05,980 Yeah. 498 00:32:05,980 --> 00:32:07,980 But so yeah, once The Rock hits... Oh, and we're introduced to... 499 00:32:07,980 --> 00:32:09,980 The Rock is not in this movie. 500 00:32:09,980 --> 00:32:11,980 That would have been a much different movie. 501 00:32:11,980 --> 00:32:18,980 But he always fucking hits. If The Rock was just the meteor, it's just his stupid fucking bald heads. Depression. 502 00:32:18,980 --> 00:32:24,980 But we meet Ezra, played by Tommy Chung, who's kind of a shaman-esque individual. 503 00:32:24,980 --> 00:32:27,980 He has a cat named G-Spot because of course he does. 504 00:32:27,980 --> 00:32:30,980 Because it's funny. I didn't think it was that funny. 505 00:32:30,980 --> 00:32:31,980 No. 506 00:32:31,980 --> 00:32:36,980 Until they couldn't find it. But they don't really lean into the joke of not being able to find the G-Spot. 507 00:32:36,980 --> 00:32:37,980 It's a missed opportunity. 508 00:32:37,980 --> 00:32:40,980 That was my frustration with this movie. 509 00:32:40,980 --> 00:32:43,980 I do like how when The Rock hit... God damn it. 510 00:32:43,980 --> 00:32:50,980 When the meteorite hits and they're trying to study it, they ask the hydrologist, they're like, about the space rock. 511 00:32:50,980 --> 00:32:55,980 They ask him about it and he's like, most meteorites burn up before they hit the ground. 512 00:32:55,980 --> 00:32:58,980 I was like, no, by definition, a meteorite hits the ground. 513 00:32:58,980 --> 00:32:59,980 Fucking water guys. 514 00:32:59,980 --> 00:33:03,980 Yeah. I mean, to be fair, they got fucking water boy to... 515 00:33:03,980 --> 00:33:07,980 Maybe Adam Sandler should have played that role. 516 00:33:09,980 --> 00:33:11,980 Or Polly Shore. 517 00:33:11,980 --> 00:33:13,980 Ooh, Polly Shore does need work. 518 00:33:13,980 --> 00:33:18,980 Yeah. He did a great water treatment specialist or something in the army now. 519 00:33:18,980 --> 00:33:21,980 He was something. I'm going to watch that movie. 520 00:33:21,980 --> 00:33:23,980 This is a Polly Shore podcast now. 521 00:33:23,980 --> 00:33:25,980 Hell yeah. That's what we're doing next. 522 00:33:25,980 --> 00:33:28,980 Cage match. A roundabout way of meeting Polly Shore. 523 00:33:28,980 --> 00:33:29,980 You know, we could probably do that. 524 00:33:29,980 --> 00:33:31,980 Way easier. Way easier goal. 525 00:33:31,980 --> 00:33:34,980 Actually, if we say his name three times, he does show up. 526 00:33:34,980 --> 00:33:35,980 Polly Shore, Polly Shore, Polly Shore. 527 00:33:35,980 --> 00:33:37,980 God damn it. 528 00:33:37,980 --> 00:33:40,980 I'm going to put some Polly Shore clip in there. 529 00:33:40,980 --> 00:33:43,980 Buddy. I can't do a good Polly Shore. 530 00:33:43,980 --> 00:33:46,980 Polly Shore can't do a good Polly Shore at this point. 531 00:33:46,980 --> 00:33:50,980 So the reason they need the hydrologist, though, is because the meteorite starts to get into the water. 532 00:33:50,980 --> 00:33:53,980 And that's where things go bad. 533 00:33:53,980 --> 00:33:57,980 Like these pink magenta plants start popping up everywhere. 534 00:33:57,980 --> 00:34:01,980 There's these like fist sized praying mantises that start flying around. 535 00:34:01,980 --> 00:34:04,980 The landscape changes over the course of the film and it's subtle at first. 536 00:34:04,980 --> 00:34:11,980 And by the end of it, there's like alien trees that sway and eventually like grab a sheriff off the ground and stab them in the eye. 537 00:34:11,980 --> 00:34:14,980 This is the first time in a while we've seen full cage. 538 00:34:14,980 --> 00:34:19,980 He really had a good performance with a lot of excitable faces and stuff. 539 00:34:19,980 --> 00:34:21,980 Yeah. OK, let's talk about that a little bit. 540 00:34:21,980 --> 00:34:28,980 So well, he goes from like doting husband and just kind of soft spoken father to like an aw shucks dumb. 541 00:34:28,980 --> 00:34:30,980 He's such a nerd dad. Yeah. 542 00:34:30,980 --> 00:34:37,980 And then he just like not only does he have mild mood swings, but his accent changes and like his tone is all up and down. 543 00:34:37,980 --> 00:34:40,980 His performance is all over the place and I love it. 544 00:34:40,980 --> 00:34:45,980 So I'm going to back us up just for a second because this is one of my one of my few notes. 545 00:34:45,980 --> 00:34:48,980 The way it affects everybody is different. 546 00:34:48,980 --> 00:34:50,980 Some of them drink the water or whatever. 547 00:34:50,980 --> 00:34:52,980 Some of them are eating fruit. 548 00:34:52,980 --> 00:34:59,980 But one of the things that happened with him is he's taking a shower and a weird like come monster holes on him. 549 00:34:59,980 --> 00:35:02,980 It looked like a scoby, which for other. 550 00:35:02,980 --> 00:35:03,980 It did. Yeah. 551 00:35:03,980 --> 00:35:07,980 Which is also why I fucking hate kombucha because scobies are gross. 552 00:35:07,980 --> 00:35:08,980 Yeah. Come at me hippies. 553 00:35:08,980 --> 00:35:11,980 Come monsters. Not hippies. 554 00:35:11,980 --> 00:35:12,980 Scovies. 555 00:35:12,980 --> 00:35:15,980 Some of the subtle touches with how the color gets into things. 556 00:35:15,980 --> 00:35:19,980 At one point, he's pouring himself a bourbon and you can see the color in the ice. 557 00:35:19,980 --> 00:35:26,980 There was a lot of subtlety with how the shapeless amorphous monster was throughout this whole movie. 558 00:35:26,980 --> 00:35:28,980 And I thought it was a really nice touch. 559 00:35:28,980 --> 00:35:32,980 Like by the end of the film, like the fog is, you know, the color. 560 00:35:32,980 --> 00:35:35,980 I liked the slow encroaching dread. 561 00:35:35,980 --> 00:35:38,980 Everybody dies in horrid ways. 562 00:35:38,980 --> 00:35:46,980 I think the worst being the youngest son and the mom who get grabbed by the light, by the color and fuse together. 563 00:35:46,980 --> 00:35:50,980 Yeah, it was like a real Cronenberg body horror thing. 564 00:35:50,980 --> 00:35:55,980 Like it makes me want to go watch like naked lunch every once in a while. 565 00:35:55,980 --> 00:35:57,980 I get this like wild thought. 566 00:35:57,980 --> 00:35:58,980 I'm like, I'm going to watch naked lunch. 567 00:35:58,980 --> 00:36:02,980 And then I sit on it for a minute and I'm just like, I am not ready to watch naked lunch again. 568 00:36:02,980 --> 00:36:06,980 It's like I watched it in high school once and I think that was about it for me. 569 00:36:06,980 --> 00:36:10,980 I just rewatched The Fly the other week and it was like, OK, that was a great movie. 570 00:36:10,980 --> 00:36:12,980 I'm done for a while. 571 00:36:12,980 --> 00:36:17,980 The son thinks he hears their dog in the well climbs into the well, gets grabbed by the light, the color. 572 00:36:17,980 --> 00:36:19,980 That's fucking weird. I want to go. 573 00:36:19,980 --> 00:36:26,980 Like I know he's being affected by the color out of space and haha. 574 00:36:26,980 --> 00:36:29,980 But he's like, oh, I hear Sam the dog down in the well. 575 00:36:29,980 --> 00:36:32,980 I'm going to I'm going to climb down there and get him. 576 00:36:32,980 --> 00:36:34,980 And Lavigne is like, you're a fucking idiot. 577 00:36:34,980 --> 00:36:42,980 Don't do that. And he's like, no, I'll go down there and I'll put our dog, who's like a fucking Australian shepherd or something in the bucket in the bucket. 578 00:36:42,980 --> 00:36:45,980 And you can bring him up. It's like it's a fucking bucket. 579 00:36:45,980 --> 00:36:47,980 It's not even a five gallon bucket. 580 00:36:47,980 --> 00:36:49,980 Also, you could see down into that well. 581 00:36:49,980 --> 00:36:51,980 There's no dog down there. Yeah. 582 00:36:51,980 --> 00:36:57,980 But now he's a dummy. Oh, the alpacas get fused into like this giant homunculi of alpaca heads. 583 00:36:57,980 --> 00:37:05,980 Also, the dog's totally in there because we see the dog growl a few times at the light and you see those same like snarling teeth in the alpaca monster. 584 00:37:05,980 --> 00:37:06,980 There's a big close up. 585 00:37:06,980 --> 00:37:11,980 Oh, yeah. Nick Cage takes a shotgun to the alpaca monster and that's pretty bloody. 586 00:37:11,980 --> 00:37:18,980 That's fun. He tries to sacrifice his daughter to the mother son. 587 00:37:18,980 --> 00:37:22,980 This is starting to sound like a porn review. 588 00:37:22,980 --> 00:37:25,980 I got one good laugh this podcast. All right. Good night, everybody. 589 00:37:25,980 --> 00:37:28,980 Throws Lavinia in the attic with the mom son creature. 590 00:37:28,980 --> 00:37:33,980 Nick Cage gets a hole put through his chest by the sheriff who shoots him. 591 00:37:33,980 --> 00:37:39,980 He was aiming for the color, but like you're shooting light coming out of a well. 592 00:37:39,980 --> 00:37:41,980 Yeah. Probably not going to work. 593 00:37:41,980 --> 00:37:43,980 Maybe. I don't know. I don't know. Fucking aliens. 594 00:37:43,980 --> 00:37:47,980 Ezra gets. I mean, they're not necessarily aliens. 595 00:37:47,980 --> 00:37:49,980 They're Eldritch Horror. Excuse me. 596 00:37:49,980 --> 00:37:52,980 You're right. Please. Eldritch Horror is out there. 597 00:37:52,980 --> 00:37:53,980 Please forgive me. 598 00:37:53,980 --> 00:37:58,980 Ezra tries to record the creatures underground that came on the meteorite. 599 00:37:58,980 --> 00:38:02,980 And when they find his body, he's all desiccated and his eyes are missing. 600 00:38:02,980 --> 00:38:06,980 So listening to the recording of him was creepy. Yeah. 601 00:38:06,980 --> 00:38:17,980 Like I was watching it downstairs by myself and like the whole thing just was unsettling because his voice is sort of speeding up and slowing down in this weird, horrible way. 602 00:38:17,980 --> 00:38:23,980 Which I, the whole listening to the things underground is a nod to another Lovecraft story. 603 00:38:23,980 --> 00:38:28,980 The reason I was so excited for this movie to come out initially is because that is my favorite Lovecraft short story. 604 00:38:28,980 --> 00:38:31,980 Mostly because it's the least problematic. 605 00:38:31,980 --> 00:38:33,980 I don't know if you knew this people. 606 00:38:33,980 --> 00:38:36,980 H.P. Lovecraft was a horrible racist. 607 00:38:36,980 --> 00:38:42,980 Even for the time. Other racists were like, you're making us look bad. 608 00:38:42,980 --> 00:38:44,980 I want to talk about my favorite thing about this film. 609 00:38:44,980 --> 00:38:47,980 The only survivor is the hydrolytics, who's the black guy. 610 00:38:47,980 --> 00:38:53,980 Also, his name is Ward Phillips, which is short for Howard Phillips, as in Howard Phillips Lovecraft. 611 00:38:53,980 --> 00:38:56,980 So fuck you, you dead old racist. 612 00:38:56,980 --> 00:39:00,980 They named the main black character after you and they didn't kill him. 613 00:39:00,980 --> 00:39:02,980 Fuck yeah. 614 00:39:02,980 --> 00:39:06,980 And Lavinia gets sucked up into the color when it goes back into space. 615 00:39:06,980 --> 00:39:16,980 Nick Cage like springs back to life and tries to kill Ward and he hides in the wine cellar and has a vision of an alien planet, which really cool final shot. 616 00:39:16,980 --> 00:39:22,980 Although my favorite shot of this film is when Ward is digging his way out from under the house and there is no color left in the earth. 617 00:39:22,980 --> 00:39:24,980 It was all just white. 618 00:39:24,980 --> 00:39:27,980 Like the only color on screen is him. 619 00:39:27,980 --> 00:39:29,980 Yeah. Well, there's like a radius. 620 00:39:29,980 --> 00:39:32,980 Yeah. And then it zooms out and you see a radius. 621 00:39:32,980 --> 00:39:34,980 Yeah, that was cool. That was a power of prestigious. 622 00:39:34,980 --> 00:39:37,980 Visually, this film astounding. 623 00:39:37,980 --> 00:39:40,980 Yeah, I didn't look up anything from the DP. 624 00:39:40,980 --> 00:39:48,980 The director, I did look at a bunch of his stuff, almost exclusively music videos and documentaries about the paranormal. 625 00:39:48,980 --> 00:39:49,980 Weird. 626 00:39:49,980 --> 00:39:50,980 Yeah. 627 00:39:50,980 --> 00:39:54,980 Well, he does have three other feature films to his name. 628 00:39:54,980 --> 00:39:56,980 The first two being schlock horror films. 629 00:39:56,980 --> 00:40:00,980 The third being the original director of The Isle of Dr. 630 00:40:00,980 --> 00:40:04,980 Muro, technically not to his name, he's uncredited because he got fired. 631 00:40:04,980 --> 00:40:08,980 Like I said, original director, but then got fired like two days into shooting. 632 00:40:08,980 --> 00:40:09,980 Yeah. 633 00:40:09,980 --> 00:40:15,980 Hasn't had a feature length film since got this was really good, pretty well received and then immediately got canceled. 634 00:40:15,980 --> 00:40:18,980 And the DP also is mostly music videos. 635 00:40:18,980 --> 00:40:23,980 That makes sense with like the visual appeal of this movie. 636 00:40:23,980 --> 00:40:25,980 This movie also did come out during the pandemic. 637 00:40:25,980 --> 00:40:30,980 Estimated budget of six million dollars worldwide gross, just over a million. 638 00:40:30,980 --> 00:40:37,980 So even if the guy wasn't canceled, probably weren't going to see those next two movies anyway. 639 00:40:37,980 --> 00:40:38,980 Yeah, that's fair. 640 00:40:38,980 --> 00:40:43,980 Beautifully shot film and a lot of really good CG for six million bucks. 641 00:40:43,980 --> 00:40:44,980 Yeah. 642 00:40:44,980 --> 00:40:47,980 I mean, it kind of goes to show what you can actually do on a budget. 643 00:40:47,980 --> 00:40:48,980 Yeah. 644 00:40:48,980 --> 00:40:54,980 It makes you think of like the old Sam Raimi movies and stuff like that, where you were really just having to be clever with what you have. 645 00:40:54,980 --> 00:40:57,980 Your resources were limited and you were stuck with it. 646 00:40:57,980 --> 00:41:00,980 And then the blank check podcast talks about this all the time. 647 00:41:00,980 --> 00:41:04,980 It's like once you start having too much money, nobody ever goes backwards. 648 00:41:04,980 --> 00:41:08,980 You never go back to your old skill set and your ingenuity. 649 00:41:08,980 --> 00:41:10,980 You're always just like more. 650 00:41:10,980 --> 00:41:11,980 Let's do fucking mocap. 651 00:41:11,980 --> 00:41:16,980 I do think there was a good like not to Sam Raimi and someone with the tree killing the sheriff warden. 652 00:41:16,980 --> 00:41:18,980 The sheriff are like running away from Ezra Shaq. 653 00:41:18,980 --> 00:41:22,980 And then you just see like this quick swoop of an alien branches. 654 00:41:22,980 --> 00:41:24,980 Pick him up.

I wrote down a bunch. 670 00:42:05,980 --> 00:42:07,980 I got two of my more favorite ones. 671 00:42:07,980 --> 00:42:12,980 My first one is so at one point the wife cuts off a finger. 672 00:42:12,980 --> 00:42:14,980 They go to the hospital. 673 00:42:14,980 --> 00:42:15,980 They come back the next night. 674 00:42:15,980 --> 00:42:23,980 The youngest son's outside, Lavinia and the older brother are both have had weird like time lost experiences, so they don't know what the fuck's going on. 675 00:42:23,980 --> 00:42:24,980 The alpacas are out. 676 00:42:24,980 --> 00:42:26,980 So Nick Cage is just losing it. 677 00:42:26,980 --> 00:42:30,980 And he just gets mad at his daughter and he's like, Get the fuck out of my sight. 678 00:42:30,980 --> 00:42:34,980 You know what? I'll save you the trouble and get the fuck out of yours. 679 00:42:34,980 --> 00:42:37,980 Yeah, that was when he fully transitioned into the weird voice. 680 00:42:37,980 --> 00:42:42,980 Yeah, like his his possessed voice was like douchebag teenager. 681 00:42:42,980 --> 00:42:45,980 He went. No, he went straight back to Gary. 682 00:42:45,980 --> 00:42:48,980 That was Gary voice. That was Gary voice. 683 00:42:48,980 --> 00:42:50,980 I didn't even connect to that. But you're right. 684 00:42:50,980 --> 00:42:52,980 It was Gary. Nick, let's just do a round robin. 685 00:42:52,980 --> 00:42:54,980 We'll just go until we run out. OK. 686 00:42:54,980 --> 00:42:58,980 I think it was after like the mom cut her fingers off or something. 687 00:42:58,980 --> 00:43:02,980 Teresa, the mom and Nathan are in the car or something. 688 00:43:02,980 --> 00:43:06,980 And Teresa's like, I don't know how you could still be interested in me. 689 00:43:06,980 --> 00:43:10,980 And Nick's like, you know, I've always been a leg man. 690 00:43:10,980 --> 00:43:15,980 And Teresa says, So if I had both my legs cut off, you'd still love me, right? 691 00:43:15,980 --> 00:43:19,980 It's like a bit kinky. But yes, that's a good quote. 692 00:43:19,980 --> 00:43:22,980 Oh, I think they were talking about her mastectomy. It was the mastectomy. 693 00:43:22,980 --> 00:43:26,980 This is my quote, too. But the second piece of it at the end of it is bit kinky. 694 00:43:26,980 --> 00:43:30,980 But yes, I could tuck you into my carry on luggage and enjoy you wherever I go. 695 00:43:30,980 --> 00:43:33,980 That's right. I forgot that. That's such a good line, though. 696 00:43:33,980 --> 00:43:38,980 I mean, that I make those jokes all the time. So this seems really reasonable. 697 00:43:38,980 --> 00:43:43,980 Yeah. So one that you texted me about, Nick, was, Do you have any idea how much those animals cost us? 698 00:43:43,980 --> 00:43:47,980 They are alpacas. Alpaca. That's the line. Yeah. That's a good one. 699 00:43:47,980 --> 00:43:51,980 I do like him talking about his father. You'll never be a painter, Nathan. 700 00:43:51,980 --> 00:43:54,980 So just get the fuck out of my sight, Nathan. 701 00:43:54,980 --> 00:43:57,980 There's just some weird line reads in this film and I'm here for it. 702 00:43:57,980 --> 00:44:03,980 Yeah, I feel like it's been a few episodes where we haven't gotten to see a true cage out. 703 00:44:03,980 --> 00:44:07,980 We haven't gotten a lot of the weird line reads and really weird dialogue. 704 00:44:07,980 --> 00:44:09,980 So this was a nice return to form. 705 00:44:09,980 --> 00:44:14,980 We had another like roof punching like in the car scene. Classic. 706 00:44:14,980 --> 00:44:17,980 What does he say when the car won't start? 707 00:44:17,980 --> 00:44:21,980 He's like, the car is not going to happen. What do you mean it's not going to happen? 708 00:44:21,980 --> 00:44:25,980 Oh, yeah. So I saw this movie in 2020. 709 00:44:25,980 --> 00:44:31,980 Like it was on Amazon. I rented it and loved it because, like I said, it's my favorite Lovecraft short story. 710 00:44:31,980 --> 00:44:36,980 This film is really where I kind of got the idea for this podcast because I remember seeing it. 711 00:44:36,980 --> 00:44:40,980 And I'm just like, man, Nick Cage is great in this. He's all over the shop, but he is great. 712 00:44:40,980 --> 00:44:43,980 And that's kind of what got me into the whole idea of the cage, a song. 713 00:44:43,980 --> 00:44:47,980 And the films he's done since then have all been wacky and wonderful. 714 00:44:47,980 --> 00:44:52,980 I started looking more into his old catalog and I thought, like, this is this is something worth my time. 715 00:44:52,980 --> 00:44:56,980 I hope I make friends in this new city that I can force them to do it with me. 716 00:44:56,980 --> 00:45:03,980 Well, I sat on that. I sat on that for two years before I asked you guys to do this because I wanted you to be my friends. 717 00:45:03,980 --> 00:45:08,980 Now you're stuck with me. I don't want to ruin it too soon. 718 00:45:08,980 --> 00:45:11,980 She is. She. I don't know. 719 00:45:11,980 --> 00:45:15,980 I think we have a fairly definitive answer as to what's going up forward. 720 00:45:15,980 --> 00:45:19,980 Yeah. Yeah, it's definitely Colorado space. Yeah, it was a good one. 721 00:45:19,980 --> 00:45:23,980 It's a complete package. It's a good film. It's a really enjoyable movie. 722 00:45:23,980 --> 00:45:27,980 Yeah, it's it's good to look at. It's well made. 723 00:45:27,980 --> 00:45:31,980 I don't think I really had like nitpicky issues with it. 724 00:45:31,980 --> 00:45:34,980 It's a pretty clear like contender to move forward. 725 00:45:34,980 --> 00:45:38,980 Yeah. Great practical effects, great CGI. 726 00:45:38,980 --> 00:45:42,980 And again, done on a budget. Like, let's get more like weird horror. 727 00:45:42,980 --> 00:45:48,980 Someone else pick up this mantle. There is so little done with Lovecraft horror. 728 00:45:48,980 --> 00:45:55,980 I mean, I guess the whole selling point of it is these are unknowable things that you can't see and a random color is a good place to start. 729 00:45:55,980 --> 00:46:00,980 Yeah, to be poisoned by a color is really something. I liked it. 730 00:46:00,980 --> 00:46:04,980 So, yeah, that's it. What do we got on the docket for next time, Peter? 731 00:46:04,980 --> 00:46:09,980 Next up, we have Drive Angry and Stolen. 732 00:46:09,980 --> 00:46:16,980 So, I mean, it's the tough guy bracket, which, you know, obviously we don't think that he's the best at being a tough guy. 733 00:46:16,980 --> 00:46:22,980 I don't know. I mean, there's some there are some solid movies in that tough guy section like Con Air. 734 00:46:22,980 --> 00:46:26,980 Yeah, that's true. He was a pretty he was a really good tough guy in Red Rock West. 735 00:46:26,980 --> 00:46:29,980 Yeah, he wasn't even a character. He was just a generic tough guy. 736 00:46:29,980 --> 00:46:34,980 John Tuffman. Well, that's the thing. It's like he does play that role well. 737 00:46:34,980 --> 00:46:39,980 But it's when he's trying to be like the same reason I have issues with Liam Neeson as a tough guy. 738 00:46:39,980 --> 00:46:43,980 I just don't fucking think he is. He's just a big man. Yeah. 739 00:46:43,980 --> 00:46:50,980 I just don't think Nick Cage is a real tough guy. But when he plays like kind of a badass like in Con Air, it works. 740 00:46:50,980 --> 00:46:55,980 Jiu Jitsu, his best tough guy. Yep. Get off my piano. Yeah. 741 00:46:55,980 --> 00:47:01,980 My friend Nathan asked we do this if these movies are available at the time of this recording. 742 00:47:01,980 --> 00:47:07,980 I watched Looking Glass on Hulu. It's streaming there. I have it on DVD. I'm sorry. And Blu-ray. 743 00:47:07,980 --> 00:47:13,980 And Blu-ray. It was it was a twofer. Was it a two packer? Did you buy two copies of it because you were high? 744 00:47:13,980 --> 00:47:19,980 No, it's actually just Blu-ray. But thanks for calling me out on that. I said DVD first erroneously. 745 00:47:19,980 --> 00:47:24,980 What a dork. I rented. I had to read. Nick Cage is a meaty dork. 746 00:47:24,980 --> 00:47:33,980 And I had to rent the Colorado Space on Amazon. So if you're listening to this now and want to watch the loser of this week, it's on Hulu. 747 00:47:33,980 --> 00:47:36,980 Or you could come to my place. Yeah. Watch it with Nick. I'm not going to tell you where. 748 00:47:36,980 --> 00:47:42,980 You know, that that should be. That's that's the like premium tier in Patreon. 749 00:47:42,980 --> 00:47:48,980 Side note, if you want to support us on Patreon, you can purchase some money and join the SparkleBuddy tier for five bucks a month. 750 00:47:48,980 --> 00:47:53,980 It helps. The premium tier is only ten dollars and you get to go over to Nick's house once a month to watch a Nick Cage film. 751 00:47:53,980 --> 00:47:58,980 And I'll watch you watch it from behind a mirror, a two way mirror. No, it's a one way mirror. 752 00:47:58,980 --> 00:48:08,980 I'm just going to peek around the corner of it. I'm just going to hold it in place. Is this sexy yet? Yeah. OK, so. 753 00:48:08,980 --> 00:48:13,980 All right. Thank you for listening. Please like this on whatever platform you listen to. 754 00:48:13,980 --> 00:48:17,980 If you haven't reviewed it, give us a review. Tell people how much you enjoy us. 755 00:48:17,980 --> 00:48:22,980 And if you hate us, tell people how much you enjoy us. Otherwise, we're going to come to your house and annoy you more. Yeah. 756 00:48:22,980 --> 00:48:26,980 No, that's that's perfect. Yeah, I think we're out. So tell your friends. 757 00:48:26,980 --> 00:48:30,980 You're expecting people that listen to us to have friends. Yeah, I have friends. 758 00:48:30,980 --> 00:48:36,980 I mean, they're both in this room, but I have them. Yeah, it took you two years to make those friends to get us in this room. 759 00:48:36,980 --> 00:48:40,980 I mean, you thought you asked me to do this. That's true. All right. 760 00:48:40,980 --> 00:48:45,980 Fun little anecdote. Nick, I always thought Nick would be the best co-host for this because because my name's Nick. 761 00:48:45,980 --> 00:48:50,980 Yeah. And he's right. He's with Nick and Sean. So it would have been really complicated otherwise. 762 00:48:50,980 --> 00:48:57,980 Of all of our friends, Nick is the most biddable. Nick will ride or die on a dumb bit. 763 00:48:57,980 --> 00:49:02,980 So I assumed I asked you first. I thought you said no for some reason, which I was kind of buttered about for a while. 764 00:49:02,980 --> 00:49:09,980 And then one day you and I were driving back from somewhere and I mentioned this to you and you're like, hey, do that. 765 00:49:09,980 --> 00:49:13,980 I'm like, what haven't I asked you that? You're like, no. Yeah. So here we are. 766 00:49:13,980 --> 00:49:18,980 All right. We love you, Nick Cage. We hope one day to meet you. 767 00:49:18,980 --> 00:49:23,980 And smell you. 768 00:49:23,980 --> 00:49:29,980 We'll quack you out. I say that like I have no control over the editing process. 769 00:49:29,980 --> 00:49:33,980 Don't worry. I'll take care of this in post. 770 00:49:33,980 --> 00:49:37,980 I just come in and sabotage the hard drive. 771 00:49:37,980 --> 00:49:49,980 Job well done.
