INTRO

00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:13,200
Hello everyone and welcome to the Every Movie Ever Podcast.

3
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:15,000
My name is Ben Groves.

4
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:16,800
And my name is Rob Macfarlane.

5
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:21,800
Welcome to the show, a movie podcast where we ask the important questions like,

6
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:22,800
blink twice.

7
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:23,800
Yeah.

8
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:24,800
Why?

9
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,400
Is there, wait, am I in danger?

10
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,800
Ben, Ben blink twice if I'm in danger.

11
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,200
This is the censored version of the show.

12
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,200
Swear's are going to be bleeped out, but fear not dear listeners.

13
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:40,200
As always, the full uncensored version is available early over on our Patreon for as

14
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,800

17
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:47,800
Enjoy.

18
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:48,800
Fuck.

19
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:50,800
How you doing today bud?

20
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:52,800
I'm not great.

21
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:54,800
I'm really not great, but it's fine.

22
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:55,800
We're here.

23
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:56,800
We're doing it.

24
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:57,800
I'm excited to talk about this movie.

25
00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:58,800
Good.

26
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:00,800
I didn't expect this movie.

27
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:01,800
Okay.

28
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,800
It was one that you just kind of threw at me and I was like, oh, I'd seen a poster.

29
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:05,800
Yeah.

30
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,800
That's as much research as I'd done about this movie before going in.

31
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:09,800
And it was the perfect way to watch it.

32
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:11,800
It was the perfect way to watch it.

33
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:12,800
It is, isn't it?

34
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:13,800
How about you, man?

35
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:14,800
I hope you're, are you good?

36
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:15,800
I'm doing good, man.

37
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:16,800
I'm doing good.

38
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:17,800
I'm sorry you're not doing good.

39
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:18,800
Upset me a little.

40
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,800
I hope there's something I can do to help you out.

41
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:22,800
Like, I don't know.

42
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:23,800
I've got a frog.

43
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:24,800
Just saying.

44
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:25,800
Nah, I'm all right without a frog.

45
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:26,800
You sure?

46
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:27,800
You don't want that frog in you?

47
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:28,800
I don't know.

48
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:29,800
All right.

49
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:30,800
Suit yourself.

50
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:31,800
I'm good, man.

51
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:32,800
I'm tired, but I'm good.

52
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:33,800
Doing gym a lot.

53
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:34,800
Nice.

54
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:35,800
Regularly.

55
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:36,800
The Monster Hunter Wilds beta just came out.

56
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:37,800
So nice.

57
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:38,800
Yeah.

58
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:43,240
That's a dangerous one because I'm wildly addicted to Monster Hunter World.

59
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,240
So new one.

60
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:46,240
Deadly.

61
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:47,240
Deadly.

62
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:48,240
Really glad to hear that, man.

63
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,240
I genuinely, genuinely very much am.

64
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:51,240
What are we doing today?

65
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:52,320
Today, buddy.

66
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,000
We're doing Blink Twice.

67
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,520
The directorial debut.

68
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,320
And the person who almost stole the Batman's heart.

69
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:00,320
Zoe Kravitz.

70
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:01,880
What a debut it is.

71
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:06,680
I am both impressed by that writing of a very concise and beautiful intro to what we're

72
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,880
doing and also annoyed that you stole a fact I was going to use later.

73
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:10,880
Sorry, babe.

74
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,600
But let's answer some hard questions.

75
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,960
Like does snake venom really cure Alzheimer's?

76
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,760
And we're not just letting enough people fight snakes anymore?

77
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,280
It's a deep question, buddy.

78
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,520
Can a really good perfume smell your troubles away?

79
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,080
According to teenagers, Lynx Africa definitely can.

80
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:27,640
I have Lynx Africa behind me.

81
00:02:27,640 --> 00:02:29,120
Because you're not a man.

82
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:30,120
You're a boy.

83
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:34,320
And most importantly, does this film make you angry?

84
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:35,320
Of course it does.

85
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,640
The subject matter is incredibly anger inducing.

86
00:02:37,640 --> 00:02:41,360
And if it doesn't make you angry, please don't listen to our show anymore.

87
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,320
No, it's not for you.

88
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:44,480
It's not for you.

89
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:48,360
But my main point from this is that anger justified and is it coming from the right

90
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:49,360
direction?

91
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:50,360
You know what I mean?

92
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,480
I can't word that question properly, but I'm going to circle that around to me.

93
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:54,480
There's a point there.

94
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:55,480
Circle that around.

95
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,240
Pointing in the right direction would have been better.

96
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:58,240
Oh, there you go.

97
00:02:58,240 --> 00:02:59,240
That's the one.

98
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:00,240
There it is.

99
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:01,240
There it is.

100
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:02,960
Now I've saved you some time this week, Ben.

101
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:08,280
It was my turn to save you some time by writing the synopsis of the film, the full breakdown

102
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:09,280
of the film.

103
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:13,640
For new listeners, this is where we just take a minute or two to just tell you what's going

104
00:03:13,640 --> 00:03:15,520
on in this film all the way up to the end.

105
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,040
So you know what the hell we're talking about later on.

106
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,000
But we kind of take turns, you know, saving each other time.

107
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:23,000
Just making it easy.

108
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,000
Nice little gesture.

109
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,000
Nothing controversial about it.

110
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,000
Just a nice little gesture.

111
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:30,280
Ben, for the benefit of the people who haven't seen this and aren't planning to or have and

112
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,920
want a little refresher, can you break down Blink Twice for us?

113
00:03:33,920 --> 00:03:34,920
Let me get into it, bud.

114
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:35,920
Let me get into it.

115
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:42,120
Blink Twice tells the story of Frieda, who, along with her friend Jess, attends an exclusive

116
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:47,920
event, first working the event and then swapping into cute dresses and impractical shoes to

117
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:49,440
sneak in as guests.

118
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,400
That is such facts.

119
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:59,240
They encounter Frieda's dream man, a disgraced CEO Slater King, played by Channing Tatum.

120
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,200
Let's not lie, he's everyone's dream man.

121
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:05,760
Slater invites Frieda and Jess to join his large entourage and spend time on his private

122
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:06,880
island getaway.

123
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,080
Of course she goes, because it's Channing Tatum.

124
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:11,880
I Channing date him.

125
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:13,440
There we go.

126
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:14,440
There we go.

127
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:15,440
That was all right.

128
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:16,440
That was that was quite slick.

129
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,760
See, you just you're really feeding the energy that I put it.

130
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,000
Yeah, I'm happy with it.

131
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,000
That was good.

132
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,000
Let's go to the island.

133
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:27,080
Frieda is swept up in the delightful paradise and party atmosphere.

134
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:33,400
There's rare flowers, beautiful dinners and a blossoming romance with Slater, only dampened

135
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:39,920
by the slight infestation of snakes and the complete disappearance of her mate Jess.

136
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:41,720
I love that snakes came first there.

137
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:42,720
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

138
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,440
That's exactly how it's represented in the film.

139
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:46,440
Love it.

140
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,480
It's not my mate Jess has gone missing on a plane, Ben.

141
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:49,480
All right.

142
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:50,480
Yeah, no, to be fair.

143
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:51,480
Yeah.

144
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:52,480
I've got priorities.

145
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:53,480
I got you.

146
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:54,480
I got you.

147
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,800
But surely you can trust Channing Tatum, right?

148
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:01,080
I'd let him use me as a table to make love to his wife who directed this movie.

149
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,080
Is he married to Zoe Kravitz?

150
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:04,840
Babe, I've got the perfect role for you.

151
00:05:04,840 --> 00:05:05,840
What is it?

152
00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:06,840
Don't worry about that.

153
00:05:06,840 --> 00:05:10,680
Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait.

154
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,040
I've been fooled.

155
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:13,400
Go on.

156
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:14,680
I thought they were married.

157
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:15,680
They're not.

158
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:16,680
They were.

159
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,160
They they announced they were engaged in 2023.

160
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:21,520
But then they split up.

161
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,880
OK, I have to hurriedly rewrite some jokes later.

162
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:24,880
That's fine.

163
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,080
They're not married.

164
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:28,080
They were.

165
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:29,080
They were going to.

166
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:30,080
But they didn't.

167
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,120
Continue with the story of blink twice, please, Ben.

168
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:33,120
Yeah, I got you.

169
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:34,120
I got you.

170
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:38,960
She uncovers that Slater has been processing the rare flowers to drug female guests with

171
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:45,480
a memory erasing compound, enabling them to commit assaults without leaving any evidence.

172
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:50,400
Frieda allies with another guest, Sarah, to use snake venom to counteract the effects of the flower.

173
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:51,400
Convenient.

174
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:55,520
Regaining their memories and kicking off a rebellion against their captors, a violent

175
00:05:55,520 --> 00:06:00,880
confrontation ensues, resulting in the deaths of Slater's accomplices.

176
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:07,520
Frieda spares Slater, but manipulates him into administering Desideria, which is the

177
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:08,520
memory compound.

178
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:13,960
Yeah, the perfume, the memory loss drug, causing his memory to fade and manipulates him further

179
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:19,280
into naming her the CEO of his billion dollar tech company.

180
00:06:19,280 --> 00:06:25,440
I mean, if he's not going to remember what would be the harm in slowly dragging the tip

181
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:33,560
of myself across his beautiful pink lips, feeling his breath wash gentle waves of warmth

182
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,360
down the length of me.

183
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:40,560
Now, first thing I'm going to say is I know you intended that to be embarrassing, but

184
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,800
not only is that a wild compliment to know that you think that I have length, that's

185
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,520
the cutest thing I've ever heard in my entire life.

186
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:49,520
Button cut Ben over here.

187
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:50,520
You know what I mean?

188
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:51,520
Nice, nice, nice.

189
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:52,520
You know what I mean?

190
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,600
It'd be warm ripples on my lower belly.

191
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:55,600
You know what I mean?

192
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:56,600
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

193
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:57,600
There you go.

194
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:58,600
Shrinking belly now though, you're at the gym.

195
00:06:58,600 --> 00:06:59,600
I'm at the gym?

196
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,560
I've lost, well, I haven't, I've gained like a stone and a half.

197
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,880
Yeah, but it's all muscle, mate, it's all muscle.

198
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:11,600
So I like, I think we could do like a little series of, I'd like to call it like so hot

199
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:16,280
right now, we'll workshop a name about stuff that seems to be a contemporary trend.

200
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:21,480
And I think Blink Twice really leans into a guy who you wouldn't expect to be in that

201
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,400
role being in that role.

202
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:24,400
Ooh.

203
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:29,340
Now, I have to admit, it makes more sense now I realised that she's written a part and

204
00:07:29,340 --> 00:07:32,600
cast her ex partner.

205
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,640
That's troubling to be sure.

206
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:36,120
That's troubling for sure.

207
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,320
Oh mate, we can still be friends.

208
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:39,320
Don't worry about it.

209
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:40,320
Yeah, yeah, don't worry.

210
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:41,320
I've got a part for you Channing.

211
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:42,320
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

212
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,760
I just need to make it for you rewrites real quick.

213
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:45,760
But you were right.

214
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:46,760
She was Catwoman.

215
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:47,760
She played Catwoman twice.

216
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:52,040
First time was in Lego Batman, the one that we didn't cover.

217
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:53,040
Sick.

218
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:54,040
That's what we want.

219
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:55,040
Covered all the other ones though.

220
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:56,040
Yeah, that's what we want.

221
00:07:56,040 --> 00:08:00,040
Including The Batman where she was the Catwoman, I assume.

222
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,040
Yeah, the woman cat.

223
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:02,040
Fantastic film.

224
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:03,040
Right.

225
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,680
So, you said you went into this blind, you did zero research, you saw a poster, that

226
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:07,680
was your research into it.

227
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:08,680
What was your reaction?

228
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:12,480
Because I know for a fact that I tried to undersell this film to you.

229
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:13,480
Yeah, you did.

230
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:14,480
You were like, it's fine.

231
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,000
Yeah, I've got a horrible habit of being like, watch this, it's life changing.

232
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,200
I don't want to big up too much, but you will be changed.

233
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,200
And it's about the most mid 80s movie that you've ever seen.

234
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,200
I was expecting the oversell, right?

235
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:26,200
Yeah.

236
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,400
So I was like, Ben, we're finally done with Fincher, what do you want to bring?

237
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,080
And you undersold, which was, don't really know, mate.

238
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:33,640
I mean, blink twice is fine.

239
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:35,120
It's not really much going on.

240
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:36,120
Aggressively mid.

241
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:37,120
We could do that.

242
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:38,120
And I'm like, what is it interesting?

243
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,640
You're like, that's not really that much to talk about, to be honest.

244
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,720
And I'm like, why is he, why is he, it's just, he suggested a mid film, which there's not

245
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:47,360
much to talk about.

246
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,520
So I was really angry at you for a couple of days and then I watched the film.

247
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,080
And how did it work out for you?

248
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:53,280
Give me your initial reaction.

249
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:54,280
It's a great film.

250
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:55,280
It's a great film.

251
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:56,280
Right.

252
00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:00,360
It's a better film immediately after finishing it than it is in the following days.

253
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,640
We've been talking about a lot of films recently on our discord server.

254
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:04,640
You should join.

255
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:05,640
It's brilliant.

256
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:09,400
We chat about films there all the time about films on there, which sort of take a few days

257
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,080
to settle in and you kind of finish them and you go, oh, I hated that.

258
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:17,200
And then in the following days you're like, actually, this is kind of the opposite.

259
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,480
I finished it and I was like, this is brilliant.

260
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:25,320
And in the days following, I was sort of reminded of other films that came out maybe two or

261
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:29,600
three years before this that I was like, oh yeah, it's kind of taken the shine off this

262
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:30,600
a little.

263
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:31,600
Yeah.

264
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:32,600
But it's really smartly written.

265
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:33,600
It's really tightly written.

266
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:37,600
It is the pacing, the tightness of the writing, the foreshadowing, all the things that go

267
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:42,760
into an enjoyable A to B to C are really, really strong.

268
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:43,760
Incredible.

269
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,440
Like it's got good bones, great bones.

270
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,560
I went into this blind as well.

271
00:09:48,560 --> 00:09:53,600
I'd heard it mentioned in sort of like the echelons before it was released.

272
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,800
And I was like, that does not sound like my film.

273
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:00,600
No attention to it whatsoever.

274
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:04,400
And I've actually got the guys over at Control Alt Critique to thanks for this.

275
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,800
So Bailey turned around and was like, have you seen it yet?

276
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:08,800
And I was like, nah.

277
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:13,240
I trust this film shows quite well because we're into the same sort of shitty B movies,

278
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,320
but we've also got these like weird little nuggets.

279
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:19,440
Anyway, about two months passed and I got around to watching it.

280
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:24,080
By the end of it, I was like, I'm furious for a multitude of reasons.

281
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:25,080
I'm furious.

282
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:31,520
I'm furious that A, I waited this long to watch this, that B, I don't feel like I saw

283
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:35,520
enough of the market into know much about this film before I'd seen it.

284
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:36,520
Right.

285
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:37,520
You know what I mean?

286
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:38,520
Like it wasn't plastered everywhere.

287
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,720
There wasn't trailers on in front of every movie at the cinema.

288
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:41,720
No.

289
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:42,800
It's available on Prime for free.

290
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:44,960
That always fills me with weird energy.

291
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,040
You know, when a new film is free on Prime, I'm like, cool, cool.

292
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:49,160
Is this cash out?

293
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:53,000
Is this cash out?

294
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:59,040
But I feel like they're in a dangerous position when trying to launch new directors with original

295
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:05,320
franchises or original ideas now though, because they can't spend the kind of money that they

296
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:10,200
would normally on something that's an adaptation of a really popular graphic novel or something

297
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,000
that's a director like Christopher Nolan.

298
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,740
They've just got to go, it's free.

299
00:11:14,740 --> 00:11:15,740
Please watch it.

300
00:11:15,740 --> 00:11:16,740
Yeah.

301
00:11:16,740 --> 00:11:17,740
Please watch it.

302
00:11:17,740 --> 00:11:18,740
There's Channing Tatum in it.

303
00:11:18,740 --> 00:11:19,740
He's lovely.

304
00:11:19,740 --> 00:11:20,740
Hayley Joel Ottman's in it.

305
00:11:20,740 --> 00:11:21,740
He's lovely.

306
00:11:21,740 --> 00:11:25,920
If we all love this, we might do a sequel and then we'll promote that and we'll make

307
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:26,920
money on that.

308
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:27,920
Look at Smile.

309
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:29,920
Smile was so quick to be free.

310
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:34,000
They're like, just get it watched and then we'll make money on the sequel.

311
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,000
And they did.

312
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:36,000
They played that.

313
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:37,400
They played their hands so well with that franchise.

314
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:38,400
Yeah, they really did.

315
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:42,620
So what I'm going to say about this film is it made me angry for a multitude of reasons

316
00:11:42,620 --> 00:11:43,620
on my first watch through.

317
00:11:43,620 --> 00:11:47,960
And I was like, I'm going to get into it later because it's my main takeaway from this film.

318
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:49,000
Sure.

319
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:55,080
It made me upset that A, this is still a thing that we need to talk about as a society.

320
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,000
I would argue, yeah, okay.

321
00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:59,600
I don't think it's ever going to go away.

322
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:04,560
The reason I'm going, yeah, is because it, you're right, it's never going to go away.

323
00:12:04,560 --> 00:12:05,560
Yeah.

324
00:12:05,560 --> 00:12:10,360
And I feel like sometimes if you keep over explaining the early points, you don't get

325
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:11,360
into the nuance.

326
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:12,360
And I think, you're right.

327
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:17,400
I think this film is very much there going, sexual assault is bad.

328
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:18,400
It's bad.

329
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:19,400
Very on the nose.

330
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:20,400
You shouldn't do it.

331
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:21,400
Very on the nose.

332
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:25,880
And I feel like, or at least I would hope that people are ready for the and then or

333
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:30,000
therefore of that argument, which this doesn't provide.

334
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,400
It feels like a very first step.

335
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:33,400
Yes.

336
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:37,440
And we're not, cinematically, we are not in a first step territory for this subject matter.

337
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:38,440
Exactly.

338
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:42,040
And it's, it, that kind of got me, it got me pumped up because I was just sort of like,

339
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:43,360
yeah, these guys, you know what I mean?

340
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:44,360
They got exactly what they deserve.

341
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:45,360
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

342
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:46,360
It's super cathartic.

343
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:50,400
Yeah, it is a cathartic release, but then like a couple of days pass and I'm like, right,

344
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:57,920
I have issues with freedom because I feel like it was a path that was chosen, but is

345
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:01,360
not necessarily the ending that I wanted.

346
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:02,360
I can tell that for you.

347
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:03,360
It's an ending that I enjoyed.

348
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:04,360
Yeah.

349
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:05,360
Okay.

350
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:06,360
Yeah.

351
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:07,360
Yeah.

352
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:08,360
Okay.

353
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:09,360
Good.

354
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:10,360
Good.

355
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:11,360
Good.

356
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:12,360
Good.

357
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:13,360
I loved the ending.

358
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:14,360
It's just not what I needed.

359
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:15,360
I think.

360
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:16,360
Yeah.

361
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:20,840
It's a sort of serum of forgetting his potion of forgetfulness on him and then manipulates

362
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,480
him to sort out all of her, you know, sort of wants and desires.

363
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,800
She wants to be a strong independent woman who's financially secure.

364
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,720
So she essentially steals his identity from him.

365
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:32,720
Yeah.

366
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:37,360
It's super cathartic in the immediate, in the very immediate, but sort of philosophically

367
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:42,480
for what it means for the character and therefore the point that the film is making.

368
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:43,880
You see, yeah, that's where I'm at.

369
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:48,840
It goes from being like sexual assault is really bad to being like sexual assault is

370
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:49,920
really bad.

371
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:54,200
And if someone does it to you, you've got carte blanche to do whatever you want and

372
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:55,800
be as bad as them.

373
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:56,800
Yeah.

374
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:58,840
Oh, is that what we're saying though?

375
00:13:58,840 --> 00:13:59,840
Blink twice.

376
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,040
If you can't beat them, join them.

377
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:03,040
Right.

378
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,000
And I don't think that's what we are saying.

379
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,200
I think I can bring you around as to why the ending is that way.

380
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:09,640
But again, we'll do it later.

381
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:10,640
Okay.

382
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,600
Because there's a lot to love in this film before the ending.

383
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:17,400
Dude, the thing that I love about this film is A, the rewatchability is through the roof.

384
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:22,040
I adore it when I watch a film and I'm like, okay, that's my pleasure watch done.

385
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,400
That's my enjoyment, my entertainment watch done.

386
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,280
Now I need to watch it to study.

387
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:30,760
And then when I start watching it, like critically watching it, you pick up on so much stuff

388
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:31,760
that is insane.

389
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:32,760
Yeah.

390
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:33,760
Insane.

391
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,760
And there's one aspect to this film.

392
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:37,740
There's many aspects of this film that make it great.

393
00:14:37,740 --> 00:14:44,480
But for me personally, the symbolism and the colour work from various characters and various

394
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:50,800
outfits and various moments in the film, they're all done in such a specific way that it is

395
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:54,320
impossible to not be picking your jaw up off the floor by the end of the film because it

396
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:55,320
is gorgeous.

397
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:56,320
A hundred percent.

398
00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:00,200
And it's part of that tight writing that I mentioned earlier that I really like.

399
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:01,200
Exactly.

400
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:05,360
I'm going to very quickly mention an observation I wrote in my notes.

401
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,040
Because I'm worried you might have it in yours and I want the shine.

402
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:09,040
Yeah, you take this one.

403
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:12,560
Which is that it's the Genesis myth in reverse.

404
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:16,400
Because in Genesis, Eve takes the fruit from the tree.

405
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:20,560
Fruit from the tree gives you knowledge and the snake ruins everything.

406
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,260
In this one, it's the reverse.

407
00:15:22,260 --> 00:15:26,600
The fruit from the tree keeps you ignorant to all the things that are happening to you.

408
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,920
And it's the snake that provides the knowledge.

409
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:29,920
Incredible.

410
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,600
And given that the book of Genesis is probably the first misogynist anthem.

411
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:34,600
Oh yeah.

412
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:35,600
It's a thousand percent.

413
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:36,600
Right.

414
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,520
It's a nice reversal of that dynamic.

415
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:45,000
But it's one of the many things in this film that's a lovely observed bit of writing that

416
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,080
isn't sort of put front and centre.

417
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:48,720
It's just set dressing in the background.

418
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:50,480
You go, oh, that's really nice.

419
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:51,480
That's really tidy.

420
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:53,440
But they're not going, look how clever we are.

421
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,400
It's just part of the salad.

422
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:56,400
Lovely.

423
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,080
The menu being about the seven deadly sins.

424
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,920
That sort of sets in after a few days and you're like, oh, my giddy arse.

425
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,480
That has chapped me right up.

426
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:06,480
OK, fantastic.

427
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:07,480
Right.

428
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:11,480
It's a nice like lemon pickled onion with like dressed dill.

429
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:16,080
You wouldn't sit down to a bowl of it, but in a salad, just as part of the ingredients,

430
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:17,080
beautiful.

431
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:21,040
And I'd say that, Ben, because you adore chef references.

432
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:22,840
You love it when I bring films down to food.

433
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:23,840
I do.

434
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:24,840
It's your favourite thing.

435
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:25,840
No, it's not.

436
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:26,840
I love food.

437
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:28,160
I've just come from a restaurant right now.

438
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:32,080
I'm annoyed that you did it in that specific way because I just had some chicken that looked

439
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,160
like it had been shown a lemon at some point.

440
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,600
Nice described as lemon chicken.

441
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,120
And I'm like, OK, cool.

442
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:40,120
Dough from our potatoes.

443
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:41,120
Four tiny slivers.

444
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:42,120
Fuming.

445
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:43,120
Sorry.

446
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:44,120
Just quickly on the chicken point.

447
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:45,120
Hello, Patreon.

448
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:50,120
A little too spicy to carry on.

449
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:55,120
And that is it.

450
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:59,440
The soul of Patreon.

451
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,360
Which made me feel better about my restaurant trip, to be honest with you.

452
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:03,360
That was good.

453
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,120
I like speaking of which, bye bye, Patreon.

454
00:17:05,120 --> 00:17:06,120
Love you.

455
00:17:06,120 --> 00:17:07,120
Yeah, man.

456
00:17:07,120 --> 00:17:08,120
Chicken.

457
00:17:08,120 --> 00:17:09,920
Like if you're going to do lemon chicken, you need you need lemon on that chicken.

458
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:10,920
You know, lemon.

459
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:11,920
Don't just show it a lemon.

460
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,520
I feel like this film, it puts lemon on the chicken.

461
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:15,520
It is a lemon chicken.

462
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:19,040
There are some scenes in this chicken of a film where I am making a lemon face going.

463
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:22,440
Oh, yeah, which is weird because it's a beautiful film.

464
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:23,440
Yeah.

465
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:27,000
I mean, my first watch through the first thing I noticed was the casting choices.

466
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:28,000
Yeah.

467
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:29,000
Casting choices were incredible.

468
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:30,760
I mean, it was a genius way to play this film.

469
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:35,440
You've essentially got American heartthrobs through the ages just thrown into the most

470
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,960
heinous roles that they're ever going to play.

471
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:38,960
And it's insane.

472
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,080
You've got Christian Slater, who was a heartthrob from like the late 80s, early 90s.

473
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:43,400
He was loving life.

474
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:44,400
True romance.

475
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:45,400
True romance.

476
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:46,400
You know what I mean?

477
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:47,840
That guy would literally die for his woman.

478
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,560
And then in this one, you know what I mean?

479
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:51,560
You know what I mean?

480
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:53,960
He kind of did.

481
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:54,960
But you know.

482
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:55,960
Yeah.

483
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:56,960
I mean, yeah.

484
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:57,960
You got Gina.

485
00:17:57,960 --> 00:17:58,960
Context is the thing.

486
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,760
I mean, Gina Davis was an early crush of mine.

487
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:03,160
Earth girls are easy.

488
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:04,160
Earth girls are easy?

489
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:05,160
It's too much.

490
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:06,160
That is too much.

491
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:07,160
Thelma and Louise?

492
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:08,160
Thelma and Louise, dude.

493
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:09,160
Come on.

494
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:10,160
The long kiss good night.

495
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:11,160
The fly.

496
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:12,160
Yeah.

497
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:13,160
Oh, dude.

498
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:14,160
Hold on.

499
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:19,280
So watching the fly as a kid ruined me because now I can't ever.

500
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:20,280
Food scenes ruined me.

501
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:21,280
They're the worst.

502
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:22,280
Right.

503
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,040
Because you always want to throw up on your lemon chicken before you eat it.

504
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:26,040
Made me feel physically ill.

505
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:27,040
Thank you.

506
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:28,040
Thank you for that.

507
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,520
But no, but that's that that kind of ruined me.

508
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:35,320
But then I couldn't stay away from it because Gina Davis and also Jeff Goldblum, you know

509
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:36,320
what I mean?

510
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,440
Like just before what combo just before the fly has started coming out of the shoulder

511
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,000
when he's like Uber, he's like Uber buff.

512
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:43,000
Yeah.

513
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:44,000
Isn't it?

514
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:45,000
He's like, yeah, I'm feeling it.

515
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:46,000
I've got the power of his one horse fly.

516
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:47,000
You know what I mean?

517
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:48,000
He's killing it.

518
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:49,000
Says that.

519
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:54,760
But you've also got like I said earlier, Haley Joel Osment, the kid from the sixth sense,

520
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:55,760
man.

521
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:56,760
Yeah.

522
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:57,760
He's like the sweetest dude ever.

523
00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:59,960
He's like the lovable sidekick in Tusk.

524
00:18:59,960 --> 00:19:04,280
The entourage surrounding Slater King, who is sort of his hangers on that, whether they're

525
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:08,680
people who are involved in the business or like his therapist or his chef or this kind

526
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:09,680
of thing.

527
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:14,360
There are a selection of people who their prior filmography has made them trustworthy.

528
00:19:14,360 --> 00:19:15,360
Yes.

529
00:19:15,360 --> 00:19:18,160
Nothing in Gina Davis's prior filmography makes you go.

530
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:19,400
This woman is danger.

531
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,640
Haley Joel Osment, you don't go.

532
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:22,640
This man is danger.

533
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:24,000
You know, you just go.

534
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,720
He sees dead people and he might be able to read your mind if he's in the boys for an

535
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:29,120
episode like that.

536
00:19:29,120 --> 00:19:35,320
They're all safe hands and to cast them in this in this film where all of those people

537
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:40,560
who are safe hands are sort of proven to be so unsafe is genius.

538
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:41,560
It is.

539
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:42,560
It's so hot right now.

540
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,560
You're desperate to make that statement.

541
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:45,560
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

542
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:46,560
I'm going to be saying it repeatedly.

543
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:47,560
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

544
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:48,560
We can do that.

545
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:54,120
But after the second, second and third watch throughs of this, but when I really got into

546
00:19:54,120 --> 00:19:58,520
the critical watching, it's the colors that really hit me.

547
00:19:58,520 --> 00:19:59,520
Oh, yeah.

548
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:00,520
Colors really hit me.

549
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:01,520
Right.

550
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:06,200
So I'm going to go through just a couple things that I picked up on the sort of that really

551
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,720
that really tickle my pickle, really spice my chicken.

552
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,320
You know what I mean?

553
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:11,640
So red, right?

554
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:18,520
The color of strength, passion, confidence, but also danger and anger.

555
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:19,520
Yeah.

556
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:21,160
So you've got Frieda, right?

557
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,360
So Frieda, she takes the red dress early on.

558
00:20:24,360 --> 00:20:26,480
She gives Jess the blue dress.

559
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:32,840
Frieda takes both her and her friends jobs, leading Jess directly into the danger.

560
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:37,360
She didn't know the full extent of it, but she still was willing to take that risk as

561
00:20:37,360 --> 00:20:38,360
confident.

562
00:20:38,360 --> 00:20:39,360
Yeah.

563
00:20:39,360 --> 00:20:40,360
But it's dangerous.

564
00:20:40,360 --> 00:20:42,000
You know, I mean, there's a nice little balance of the red there.

565
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:43,000
All right.

566
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:44,000
Yeah.

567
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:45,000
All right.

568
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:46,000
Follow me down this rabbit hole.

569
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:47,000
Frieda is the red rabbit.

570
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:48,000
She is.

571
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,400
She's the warning sign by the snake wrangler early on.

572
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:52,400
Red rabbit.

573
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:53,400
Red rabbit.

574
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:57,320
It later turns out that her nail art was red rabbits before.

575
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:58,320
Red rabbits.

576
00:20:58,320 --> 00:20:59,320
Yeah.

577
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:04,480
Which is a warning sign from the snake wrangler, but it's also a hint of the danger that Frieda

578
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:10,720
is capable of and the anger that she harbors due to her last foray on the island.

579
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:11,720
Ooh.

580
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:12,720
Ooh.

581
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:13,720
She's been here twice.

582
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:14,720
What?

583
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:15,720
What?

584
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:16,720
What the hell?

585
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,000
Okay, so then we've got blue.

586
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:20,000
Innocence.

587
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:21,000
Right.

588
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:22,000
Trust.

589
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:23,000
Protection.

590
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:24,000
But also fragility and sadness.

591
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,560
So Jess wears the blue dress.

592
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:27,560
Everything that Jess.

593
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:28,560
Right.

594
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:29,560
She wears the blue dress.

595
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,360
She naively supports her friend whilst trusting her guidance.

596
00:21:32,360 --> 00:21:35,560
Jess has a lighter, which is a huge focus in this film.

597
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:36,560
It is.

598
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:37,560
Yeah.

599
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:38,560
She keeps losing her lighter.

600
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:39,920
No one knows who has it, but someone always has it.

601
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:43,640
And it's kind of one of the early hints they have that they're missing time.

602
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:44,640
They're missing memories.

603
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:45,640
Yeah.

604
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:49,360
So this lighter becomes a talisman of caution.

605
00:21:49,360 --> 00:21:50,360
Like this is happening.

606
00:21:50,360 --> 00:21:51,360
Ooh, like yellow.

607
00:21:51,360 --> 00:21:52,360
We're missing stuff.

608
00:21:52,360 --> 00:22:00,520
So yellow being the colour of happiness, innocence, optimism, but also sickness, madness, caution.

609
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:01,520
Health and safety.

610
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:02,520
Health and safety.

611
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:03,520
Biohazard.

612
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:04,520
Caution tape.

613
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:05,520
Bananas.

614
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:06,520
Police tape.

615
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:07,520
Some grapes.

616
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:08,520
You know what I mean?

617
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:09,520
Some grapes.

618
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:10,520
The crap grapes.

619
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:11,520
Yeah, don't eat them.

620
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:12,520
It's a warning.

621
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:16,320
So she's got this yellow lighter and it's a continuous talisman of shit.

622
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:21,160
Something has genuinely happened to my friend Jess, who owned this lighter.

623
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:22,160
Right?

624
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:25,520
So that's sort of like an ongoing thing before we really get to terms with what's happening.

625
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,120
Then you've got Stace, who's played by Gina Davis.

626
00:22:28,120 --> 00:22:29,120
Love her.

627
00:22:29,120 --> 00:22:30,120
Yes.

628
00:22:30,120 --> 00:22:31,760
She wears a lot of purple.

629
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,600
She wears mixtures of colours.

630
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:40,080
So purple being like noble, luxury, mysterious, but also otherworldly and beyond nature.

631
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:41,080
And that's important.

632
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:42,080
Right?

633
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,880
I can't help but feel that you're about to start talking about my chakras and try and

634
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:47,680
sell me some rose quartz, but carry on.

635
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:48,680
No, no, no, no, no.

636
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:49,680
Your crystals are in the post, good sir.

637
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:50,680
I've sorted you right out.

638
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:51,680
Don't worry about it.

639
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:52,680
Okay.

640
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:59,360
So Stace wears a lot of purple and I take this as a woman working for the messed up

641
00:22:59,360 --> 00:23:06,120
elites and willingly turning a blind eye to the absolute horrors she's submitting other

642
00:23:06,120 --> 00:23:07,120
women to.

643
00:23:07,120 --> 00:23:08,120
She's the Jelaine Maxwell.

644
00:23:08,120 --> 00:23:09,120
Yeah, yeah.

645
00:23:09,120 --> 00:23:13,600
The Jelaine Maxwell, which if you look at it from a normal perspective, it is beyond

646
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:17,960
human nature that someone would willingly do that and then choose to not remember it

647
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:24,180
for your own safety, I guess, your own peace of mind, but then continue to do the thing

648
00:23:24,180 --> 00:23:25,180
that's horrible.

649
00:23:25,180 --> 00:23:26,180
Right?

650
00:23:26,180 --> 00:23:28,080
That's the insane stuff.

651
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,600
But she also wears a lot of red.

652
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,080
She also wears a lot of white.

653
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:34,000
Now white on the top.

654
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,140
She wears like a white top and red trousers for quite a lot of this film.

655
00:23:37,140 --> 00:23:44,880
So the white, obviously projecting purity, innocence, peace, balance, hope, new beginnings,

656
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:52,120
but also in Eastern cultures, much like the custard chicken, represents death, isolation

657
00:23:52,120 --> 00:23:53,120
and detachment.

658
00:23:53,120 --> 00:23:55,480
So she's wearing white on top.

659
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:56,680
She's wearing red trousers.

660
00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:02,680
So it's like, it's like the white on top is projecting to everyone else, pure, innocent,

661
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:08,400
peaceful, hopeful woman, as if to be sort of like, I can be your beacon of hope.

662
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:12,120
And then the red trousers underneath signifying the danger and the risk.

663
00:24:12,120 --> 00:24:13,120
Okay.

664
00:24:13,120 --> 00:24:14,120
It's just sort of like there.

665
00:24:14,120 --> 00:24:15,120
This is a leap.

666
00:24:15,120 --> 00:24:16,120
All right.

667
00:24:16,120 --> 00:24:17,120
Just bear with me.

668
00:24:17,120 --> 00:24:18,120
I'm with you.

669
00:24:18,120 --> 00:24:19,120
Okay.

670
00:24:19,120 --> 00:24:20,120
I'm going to bear with you, but I've got a question at the end.

671
00:24:20,120 --> 00:24:21,120
Yeah.

672
00:24:21,120 --> 00:24:22,120
I'm cooking here.

673
00:24:22,120 --> 00:24:23,120
I'm cooking here.

674
00:24:23,120 --> 00:24:24,120
Let me go.

675
00:24:24,120 --> 00:24:25,120
Let me go.

676
00:24:25,120 --> 00:24:26,120
Right.

677
00:24:26,120 --> 00:24:27,120
This is nonsense for continue.

678
00:24:27,120 --> 00:24:28,120
Yeah.

679
00:24:28,120 --> 00:24:29,520
It's pure nonsense, but I had loads of fun with this.

680
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:30,520
Just let me.

681
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:31,520
Right.

682
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:32,520
Okay.

683
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:36,440
So he focuses on wearing a lot of white and a lot of blue, right?

684
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,160
It's a bit guru-y.

685
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:46,040
It's a bit cult leader-y, but it's projecting this sort of like trustworthy, innocent persona.

686
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:52,920
But I feel like it's a facade for how fragile his own psyche is and how he's so far removed

687
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,600
from being a normal person.

688
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,520
He's like, he's completely detached himself from the human experience.

689
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:04,240
He is this island and its ways are now his normal, which is mental.

690
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:05,240
Yes.

691
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:06,240
Yes.

692
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:07,240
Yeah.

693
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:13,040
I feel like what you've done is you've watched the film and then you've looked at some colours

694
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:19,600
and then you've said, because they wear these colours, it's like you've linked it back.

695
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:23,000
My question is your colour theory.

696
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:28,720
Did you give God a ring and go, God, mate, when you made red, what were you thinking,

697
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:29,720
like did you ask her?

698
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:30,720
No, no, no, no, no.

699
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:36,680
What I've done, buddy, is I've watched at least three National Geographic documentaries

700
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:40,000
on naturally occurring colours in animals and what they mean.

701
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:41,000
You know what I mean?

702
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:42,000
Oh wow.

703
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:43,000
Okay.

704
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:44,000
National Geographic, you know.

705
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:45,000
Not in prep for this.

706
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:46,000
Right.

707
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:47,000
That's just for fun.

708
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:48,000
That's a side hustle.

709
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:49,000
Okay.

710
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:50,000
Okay.

711
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:51,000
You're going to start colourora.com.

712
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:52,000
What bug is this?

713
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:53,000
Okay.

714
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:54,000
Nice.

715
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:55,000
Nice.

716
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,000
But then the thing that got me going with this, the red chair.

717
00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:59,080
Yes.

718
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:02,000
The red chair does not fit that room at all.

719
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:09,120
For those that haven't seen the film, Slater King on his Jared Leto cult island, he's got

720
00:26:09,120 --> 00:26:15,040
a living room and a consistently reoccurring plot point, which now Ben mentions it doesn't

721
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:19,800
really have any context and therefore must for some reason be important, which I'm sure

722
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:20,800
he's about to tell us.

723
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:22,520
What's a colour theory buddy?

724
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:26,000
Slater keeps walking in the room and talking about this red chair and just being like,

725
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:27,000
it's weird.

726
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:28,000
It's weird where it is.

727
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:29,000
We need to move it.

728
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:34,120
And he obsesses about the location and the placement of this red chair in the living

729
00:26:34,120 --> 00:26:36,160
room on the Jared Leto cult island.

730
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,120
It's the lobby and his office.

731
00:26:39,120 --> 00:26:40,120
Okay.

732
00:26:40,120 --> 00:26:44,400
Where obviously like all the important stuff is all of the paperwork is if any officials

733
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,140
were to ever visit the island, it would be that room, right?

734
00:26:47,140 --> 00:26:48,140
Those rooms.

735
00:26:48,140 --> 00:26:49,140
I didn't clock it was a lobby.

736
00:26:49,140 --> 00:26:51,920
I've never been in your house so I don't know what a lobby is.

737
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,160
You know, I have a hallway and a living room.

738
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,080
I had no frame of reference for a lobby.

739
00:26:56,080 --> 00:27:00,680
This is because on my paradise island full of snakes and flowers, the lobbies are the

740
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:01,680
most important things.

741
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:02,680
Right.

742
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:03,680
Okay.

743
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:04,960
And I've also done the same as Slater in this.

744
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,800
See what I've done is I want people to trust that this is a good place.

745
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:08,800
Right.

746
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,440
So I painted my office and my lobby blue.

747
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,480
Ah, safe, vulnerable.

748
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,480
But there's always that one thing that's just in the back of my mind.

749
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,480
Do you know what I mean?

750
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:20,480
Like, but it doesn't quite fit in my trusting facade.

751
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,560
It doesn't fit in this, in this sort of like projection that I'm putting out towards the

752
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:24,560
world.

753
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:25,560
Yes.

754
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:26,560
And it's the red chair.

755
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:27,560
You know what I mean?

756
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:28,960
The red chair is like, where does this anger go?

757
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:33,880
How do I, how do I do this in a presentable way that doesn't make me an absolute monster?

758
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:34,880
The anger.

759
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:35,880
Does it go in this corner?

760
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:37,800
Will people think I'm a monster if it's in this corner?

761
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:39,120
What do I do with my anger?

762
00:27:39,120 --> 00:27:40,120
Where do I put it?

763
00:27:40,120 --> 00:27:41,120
Where do I put it?

764
00:27:41,120 --> 00:27:42,120
Okay.

765
00:27:42,120 --> 00:27:44,280
No, that, that I will, I will support.

766
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:45,280
Thank you.

767
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,160
I was wearing red trousers with white.

768
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,480
We were in super, super tenure.

769
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:50,840
I was building up to it.

770
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:54,280
I had to, I had to bring you down a couple pegs to build you right back up.

771
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,640
If I'd have gone in with a chair, you'd have been like, yeah, that's fine.

772
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:57,640
That seems to make sense.

773
00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:58,640
But now, okay, fair.

774
00:27:58,640 --> 00:27:59,640
Yeah, yeah.

775
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:00,640
You had to really lower my expectations.

776
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,640
Now I'm like, okay, he's not a man.

777
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:04,640
Exactly.

778
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:05,640
Brilliant.

779
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:06,640
There you go.

780
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:07,640
Zoe Kravitz herself said that she wanted it.

781
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,880
She said, it's a thriller, but I wanted it to be bright and beautiful.

782
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:11,880
Which it is.

783
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:13,400
So beautiful that it was almost depressive.

784
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:14,400
Yeah.

785
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:19,040
I was interested in a world that is seductive and vibrant and then turns into something

786
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:20,040
terrifying.

787
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,120
The sun, if you're in it too long, will burn you.

788
00:28:22,120 --> 00:28:24,560
If you eat too much, you feel sick.

789
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:28,440
The thing you think you want can be the thing that destroys you.

790
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:29,440
Yeah.

791
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:35,000
She definitely sets, like the visuals of this film are really, really sumptuous, really,

792
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:36,000
really gorgeous.

793
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:37,800
I think the chair thing is fascinating.

794
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:43,800
I think the Slater character up until the, for the first two thirds of the movie.

795
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:44,800
Yeah.

796
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:49,480
And until we get to the contentious ending is brilliant because he's got this whole thing

797
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:54,640
where, you know, he's messed up in the past and he's had to step down as CEO due to a

798
00:28:54,640 --> 00:29:01,240
sort of undisclosed and undiscussed prior cancelling socially and business-wise due

799
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:02,560
to prior behaviour.

800
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:04,680
We never really find out what that behaviour is.

801
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:06,160
We can make assumptions though.

802
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:07,160
We can make assumptions.

803
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:08,160
Yeah.

804
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:11,160
And then getting into the second half of the film, it's pretty clear what they were.

805
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:12,160
Oh yeah.

806
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,800
And this whole thing is, you know, he's, he's sorry.

807
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:21,040
He's got this island and he's taking it easy because he is trying to sort of work on himself.

808
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:26,080
He's in therapy and he keeps saying to the world, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

809
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:29,160
He's trying to be forgiven for what he's done.

810
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:33,360
And one of those other things, one of those nice bits of writing that sit in the background

811
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:39,480
of the salad and just don't get a spotlight shone on them is this forgive and forget dynamic

812
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:46,840
where essentially the forgetting serum that's made from these flowers and put in the perfume

813
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:51,680
is a thing that he arrives at when he comes to the conclusion that forgiveness just isn't

814
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:52,680
real.

815
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:53,680
People never will forgive him.

816
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:54,840
People don't.

817
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,400
And so the best, the next best thing is to make people forget.

818
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:58,400
Yeah.

819
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:03,680
Lovely bit of writing, really nicely observed, really nice for the antagonist to have a sort

820
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:11,560
of motivation that's pretty well drawn from the mountain of terrible apologies you get

821
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,560
from these canceled dudes.

822
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:17,000
You know, the Louis CK thing of like, I've apologized.

823
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:18,760
What more can I do?

824
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:19,760
Plenty Louis.

825
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:21,040
You can do plenty.

826
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:22,920
You've still got millions.

827
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:27,640
You could use that to fund all sorts, but no, you've said sorry.

828
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:29,840
So apparently that's meant to be enough.

829
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:33,960
And I think it's that thing of like, we say it often that the only sorry that counts has

830
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:34,960
changed behavior.

831
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:35,960
Yeah.

832
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:39,120
1000% actions over words all the all day, every day actions over words.

833
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,400
Channing Tatum does, does none of that in this.

834
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,200
It's it's words, words, words, words, words.

835
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:47,880
There is one brilliant scene, which was one take, which is where he loses his absolutely

836
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:48,880
loses his mind.

837
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:52,760
And he kind of makes the point that forgiveness is impossible because he talks about all the

838
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:54,040
things that he's done to her.

839
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:58,640
And he's like, well, look, what if I say, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

840
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:02,160
And he keeps saying, I'm sorry again and again, again, until he's like screaming it.

841
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:03,160
It was one take.

842
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:04,160
Yeah, it's incredible.

843
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:05,160
Did it.

844
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:06,160
It's first take.

845
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:07,160
He was like, right.

846
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:10,880
But Channing Tatum's point was like, if I do it a second time, it's not going to feel

847
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:11,880
authentic.

848
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:15,640
Like I'm going to, I have one and that's, then it's going to get weird after that.

849
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:17,560
So we should just get it the first time.

850
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:18,560
And they did.

851
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:19,560
Mint.

852
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:20,560
Mint.

853
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:23,200
I think that whole aspect of him is, is really well defined.

854
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:28,020
It's just when we get into the conclusion where, you know, she spikes his vape juice

855
00:31:28,020 --> 00:31:32,160
with the forget serum and then you think, great, he's going to burn to death in this

856
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:33,160
house.

857
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:34,160
Yeah.

858
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,040
But that's our heroines have clubbed together and escaped.

859
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:42,560
And then you get the twist at the end where she's kept him alive and he's using him.

860
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:43,560
Yeah.

861
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:44,560
She had the chance.

862
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:49,640
She could have chosen between saving the other woman who's been like her pezzy helping her

863
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,560
fight her way through this island or Slater.

864
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:57,760
And she chooses Slater because it's going to better her own life.

865
00:31:57,760 --> 00:31:58,760
Yeah.

866
00:31:58,760 --> 00:31:59,760
Leaves her mate to die.

867
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:04,720
Now I'm not sure what sort of time limit was on this burning building and why she couldn't

868
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,440
like drag Slater a bit out and then get the other one.

869
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:08,440
You know what I mean?

870
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:10,240
It's, you know, she might've been tired either or.

871
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:11,240
He's a heavy guy.

872
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:12,240
He's a heavy dude.

873
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:13,240
You know, he's big.

874
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:14,240
He is hench to be fair.

875
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:15,240
He's just a slab of muscle.

876
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:19,320
Gorgeous slab of muscle.

877
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:22,200
This is where my issues with this film come in.

878
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,180
So the forgetful juice is great.

879
00:32:24,180 --> 00:32:27,320
There's a lot of great symbolism in that scene where the house is, where the lobby is burning

880
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:29,400
down, the office building is burning down.

881
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:33,720
The Polaroids from the year prior, because obviously Frieda's been there before.

882
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:34,720
She just doesn't remember it.

883
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:38,680
But all these Polaroids of all these women that have been there and been abused and some

884
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:44,760
haven't made it home, they're like little trophies for little memory keepsakes Slater.

885
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:50,480
And as he's smoking his vape and forgetting these memories, photos are burning.

886
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:53,000
Like one by one they're sort of burning through.

887
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:54,800
Just lovely peccadellos in there.

888
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:56,280
You're just like, oh, that's clever.

889
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:58,120
I didn't get that until my third watch through.

890
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:00,960
And I was like, this is, this might be genius.

891
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,960
This is, this is on the, this is tickling.

892
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:05,480
This is tickling genius writing.

893
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:10,760
And then immediately after that, immediately after this buddy, it, it hard cuts to like

894
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:11,760
a year later.

895
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:12,760
Yeah.

896
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:17,240
And it's the celebration party, the gala where Frieda and Jess were working a year ago.

897
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:23,440
But now Frieda has manipulated her way to Slater naming her CEO.

898
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:29,720
And she has, is now essentially doing what has been done to her forever.

899
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:30,720
Yeah.

900
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:36,360
Which is where this can't beat them, join them mentality comes in, which is great.

901
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:38,880
It's very cathartic sort of like, fuck yeah, man.

902
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:39,880
That's it.

903
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:41,280
Just, you know, yeah, they deserve it.

904
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:42,280
Yeah.

905
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:43,280
These guys are awful.

906
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:44,280
They deserve it.

907
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:45,280
Yeah.

908
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:47,440
But also it kind of ruins Frieda for me.

909
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:56,520
I'm like, I was so rooting for you to be the good guy to be the one who like gets it, sorts

910
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:59,960
it out, exposes everything, puts an end to it.

911
00:33:59,960 --> 00:34:00,960
Full stop.

912
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:01,960
Holy.

913
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:07,840
But no, it's I, I've got a root here to be the one in power.

914
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:08,840
Yes.

915
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:13,760
To be the one with this sway and this wealth and this sort of commanding prowess over everyone

916
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:14,760
around me.

917
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:17,440
And that's the one thing that I was looking up to the one thing that I was chasing.

918
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:18,920
And I love the fact that it's done this.

919
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:20,360
It sort of cheapens it in a way.

920
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,320
It cheapens it massively, but in the same sense, right?

921
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:24,320
We all crave it.

922
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,040
We all crave money, wealth, power.

923
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:27,400
It's just, it's human.

924
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:30,240
It's built into human DNA to be like top of the chain.

925
00:34:30,240 --> 00:34:31,720
It's just, it's just the way it is.

926
00:34:31,720 --> 00:34:39,840
You can say that you're not, and you can actively live your life as if you're not, but it is,

927
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:40,840
you know what I mean?

928
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:44,040
Deep down, there's a little nugget of it in there somewhere, little nugget of it.

929
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:47,600
But I think, I think what you've mentioned there is exactly why it goes.

930
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:50,000
Well, there's two reasons for me that it goes this way.

931
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:56,080
So Zoe Kravitz says about the ending, I'm a true lover of the communal movie going experience.

932
00:34:56,080 --> 00:35:00,040
And I love when you leave and you have these conversations, but you also leave feeling

933
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,520
fulfilled and you had a good time.

934
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:03,520
Yeah.

935
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:07,760
So it's about finding a balance where we can have these real conversations about real things

936
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:13,640
and still not feel manipulated or icky or like you had to close your eyes or look away.

937
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:19,280
I think at that point in the runtime, you need to tie things up and now you've got two

938
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:20,460
options.

939
00:35:20,460 --> 00:35:24,680
You can tie it up, just neat in a bow and go, he died in the fire.

940
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:29,280
And I think that's the true narrative choice that would, that would cheapen it because

941
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:34,160
in that case it would just become a film going, don't do sexual assault.

942
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:36,120
Don't, don't, don't sexual assault people.

943
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:37,120
It's bad.

944
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:38,840
And this is 2024.

945
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:45,120
And I mean, we had the assistant and bombshell in 2019 promising young woman was 2020 four

946
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:46,120
years before this.

947
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:47,120
Incredible film.

948
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:52,000
Women Talking into R was 2020 four years before this film.

949
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:55,320
Fresh, which is also horror bait and switch.

950
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:56,320
He's a nice guy.

951
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:57,320
Actually no, he's not.

952
00:35:57,320 --> 00:35:58,560
It was two years before this.

953
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:04,120
And I feel like with where this film came out chronologically, we're a long way past

954
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:05,920
the Me Too movement now.

955
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:12,000
And if it had ended in the simpler way that I think we were all expecting it to end, it

956
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:19,080
would have just been a men are bad, women are great and men do rape and women fight

957
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:25,560
back, which is a fun, enjoyable film that ultimately doesn't say anything that complex

958
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:30,240
or that useful or that necessary to kind of a social conversation.

959
00:36:30,240 --> 00:36:36,200
My criticism of the villains sort of leads into this is that they're so cartoonishly

960
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:43,040
evil after the twist that they kind of cease to be a believable depiction of men with women,

961
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:44,040
right?

962
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:49,080
They become pure evil and it becomes, they become like cutouts of a thing.

963
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:50,080
And that kind of got me thinking.

964
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:58,480
I'm like, why, why do we go from a fully featured dude into just, I like sexual assault.

965
00:36:58,480 --> 00:36:59,600
That's my thing.

966
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:00,640
That's what I do.

967
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:01,640
And why does the world?

968
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:06,880
And I realized, I don't think it's as gendered a film as it presents itself.

969
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:13,100
It's essentially about people taking advantage of other people to get the thing they want.

970
00:37:13,100 --> 00:37:18,320
And Frieda throughout this film has been very clear about what she wants.

971
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:19,320
To be fair.

972
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:23,880
She is a very money driven, very materialistic person.

973
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:29,760
And I think it makes it a more interesting film, you know, when she joins the establishment

974
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:32,080
rather than rebelling against it.

975
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:36,240
And she sort of goes into this glitzy and glamorous world where abuse is kind of, you're

976
00:37:36,240 --> 00:37:39,000
shielded from it through your wealth and your privilege.

977
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,600
It's less about men versus women.

978
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:47,120
It's more about the rich are able to get away with their stuff because they've got the shield

979
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:48,360
of wealth and privilege.

980
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:52,360
He's able to get away with getting what he wants non-consensually.

981
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:57,280
And once she manages to manipulate his wealth away from him, she's able to get what she

982
00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:58,280
wants non-consensually.

983
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:00,200
Oh, you are exactly right.

984
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:01,680
That's a great way to look at it.

985
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:03,200
I'm not going to lie.

986
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:05,360
I didn't think Slater was going to burn to death.

987
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:10,000
I was kind of hoping that she would have pocketed enough evidence after saving him.

988
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:11,000
Bring him to justice.

989
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:12,480
To sort of bring him to justice.

990
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:13,480
That's where I wanted it to go.

991
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:17,280
I understand that that was a very sort of like fairy tale ending and everyone ended

992
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:18,280
amazing.

993
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:21,440
And now Frieda gets to, you know, start from scratch on her journey again.

994
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:25,640
Living in a shitty apartment where she's hiding money behind a mirror because for whatever

995
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:28,640
reason.

996
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:29,640
It's a great story.

997
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:31,880
It didn't end the way I expected it to.

998
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:34,560
The first time through, I didn't enjoy it.

999
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:39,040
The second and third time through, I really did just for different reasons.

1000
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:42,960
The main problem that I have with this film more than anything is the fact that we still

1001
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:45,360
have to talk about it in 2025.

1002
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:47,560
I mean, even look at the Diddy stuff, man.

1003
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:52,040
Like it is so prevalent everywhere we go and everywhere we look.

1004
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:55,320
All these people that we look up to and all these like industries that we cherish.

1005
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:57,520
It is literally rife.

1006
00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:03,640
Okay, but the anger that you're feeling there kind of implies that you feel like the problem

1007
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:07,560
it's discussing is one that can be solved.

1008
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:11,520
Like we can solve theft or we can solve murder.

1009
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:15,040
We can as a society move past these things.

1010
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:17,480
And that's not going to happen.

1011
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:19,040
It's not on the cards.

1012
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:24,080
I don't feel it was the mission statement of any of the sort of recent social movements.

1013
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:25,080
I agree.

1014
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:26,080
I agree.

1015
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:29,480
It's like saying, do you remember when we had the stop poverty campaign and Chris Martin

1016
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:31,360
sold us a bunch of rubber bangles?

1017
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:32,360
Sure.

1018
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:33,360
What happened to all that money?

1019
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:36,080
Because I had about six of them.

1020
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:37,680
They're all in landfill still.

1021
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:39,440
Every single one of them is still in landfill.

1022
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:40,440
Yeah, sick.

1023
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:41,440
Sick.

1024
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:42,440
They're going to outlive us all.

1025
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:43,440
You know what I mean?

1026
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:44,440
Yeah, they are 100% up.

1027
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:45,440
Amazing.

1028
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:53,200
So, poverty will be ended when we have all burned up and it's an equal society of rubber

1029
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:56,200
bangles that all exist in a landfill.

1030
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:57,720
You raise a good point.

1031
00:39:57,720 --> 00:40:02,160
And what I think we should do is our next line of merch, we need to make those rubber

1032
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:04,480
bands, but just say poison the earth.

1033
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:06,200
Because all we've done is we've not ended poverty.

1034
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:08,320
We're not done anything in particular.

1035
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:09,920
We've just poisoned the earth.

1036
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:12,720
Before we do our next line of merch, can we do our first line?

1037
00:40:12,720 --> 00:40:13,960
That would be.

1038
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:14,960
We can.

1039
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:15,960
We can indeed.

1040
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:20,760
And what I think we should do is we'll do, I don't know, let's start off with the old

1041
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:21,760
logo.

1042
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:25,120
Just the old logo on a t-shirt and it'll be limited to 50.

1043
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:26,120
Oh, Braggenrights.

1044
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:29,240
And it'll be a Braggenrights t-shirt.

1045
00:40:29,240 --> 00:40:31,040
I was there from the beginning.

1046
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:32,040
Remember this.

1047
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:33,040
I know you don't.

1048
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:34,040
You weren't there.

1049
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:36,280
You're not cool enough, bro.

1050
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:37,280
You're not cool enough.

1051
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:39,560
You didn't even know they covered Kevin Smith.

1052
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:40,560
Yeah.

1053
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:41,560
Or what?

1054
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:42,560
You think you've sent elves?

1055
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:43,560
Yeah.

1056
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:44,560
Right, buddy.

1057
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:46,560
I think quite a few people scroll back.

1058
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:52,160
They go chronological and elves will probably get more listens than say Jurassic Park.

1059
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:53,160
Yeah.

1060
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:56,120
Because Jurassic Park is like in the middle of the early years.

1061
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:57,120
Yeah.

1062
00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:59,400
But also elves is peak cinema.

1063
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:00,400
So where do you go from there?

1064
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:02,600
Do you know how often I think about elves?

1065
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:04,080
The film, not the race.

1066
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:05,080
All the time, dude.

1067
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:07,720
I was talking about it today.

1068
00:41:07,720 --> 00:41:08,720
It's weird.

1069
00:41:08,720 --> 00:41:09,720
It just comes up.

1070
00:41:09,720 --> 00:41:10,720
But yeah, all right.

1071
00:41:10,720 --> 00:41:11,720
We can do our first line of merch.

1072
00:41:11,720 --> 00:41:15,080
I think we drop it, let's say we drop it this week.

1073
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:16,080
If we can, that'd be...

1074
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:17,080
We'll put some out on socials.

1075
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:18,080
We'll put some out on socials.

1076
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:20,080
We'll drop it this week.

1077
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:23,120
We'll get a limited 50 run of t-shirts up and going.

1078
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:24,120
Beautiful.

1079
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:25,120
Bragging rights t-shirts.

1080
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:26,120
Love it.

1081
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:27,120
And then we move on to the bangles.

1082
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:28,120
The bangles.

1083
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:29,120
Yeah.

1084
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:33,120
But back to your point, do we still need to talk about this?

1085
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:35,640
We'll always need to talk about this.

1086
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:38,520
Films like this will need to be released annually.

1087
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:39,520
I agree.

1088
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:45,480
To remind the new generation of viewers, here is some stuff you probably haven't thought

1089
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:46,480
about.

1090
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:50,760
Here is some catharsis for those of you that this has happened to.

1091
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:51,840
That's a useful thing.

1092
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:55,520
We had Irreversible when we were growing up and we were like, wow.

1093
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:56,520
Base Moire.

1094
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:57,520
Right, exactly.

1095
00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:01,280
Those were the films we watched and we were like, oh my God.

1096
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:03,000
Did you see that film?

1097
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:07,840
This is nowhere near that brutal or that savage, but I feel like the idea that do we still

1098
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:09,680
need to talk about this?

1099
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:11,720
I think it could be more complex.

1100
00:42:11,720 --> 00:42:13,400
I think it could be more nuanced.

1101
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:14,400
There we go.

1102
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:17,760
But maybe we're not the audience for that, for this film as a result.

1103
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:19,880
This was my next point, right?

1104
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:23,000
I feel like I am an audience for this film.

1105
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:25,000
I'm just not the audience.

1106
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:26,000
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1107
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:27,000
Do you know what I mean?

1108
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:28,000
We're C tier.

1109
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:29,000
Exactly.

1110
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,880
We're C tier audience members, which is great because we can still sit in, we can still

1111
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:32,880
appreciate it.

1112
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:33,880
We've still got a cathartic release.

1113
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:35,800
We still cheer for the right people.

1114
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:41,080
We still see some horrible stuff happen to horrible people, which is always lovely jubbly.

1115
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:42,080
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1116
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:47,840
But I think when it comes to this fucking wealth and power, sort of just overlord in

1117
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:53,320
over the like, I think what it is is watching a poor get done over by a posh.

1118
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:54,320
It's not for me.

1119
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:55,320
You know what I mean?

1120
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:57,520
It just boils my piss.

1121
00:42:57,520 --> 00:42:59,280
It boils it raw.

1122
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:01,360
Anyway, that was my main takeaway.

1123
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:02,360
This film made me very angry.

1124
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:06,640
It's a different reason than I expected and it changed slightly with every watch.

1125
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:10,000
I'm sure when I watch it again, because I will, it's worth it.

1126
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:11,160
It's incredible.

1127
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:13,120
I'm sure I'll get angry for a slightly different reason.

1128
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:14,120
Weirdly.

1129
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:15,120
You know, that'll be great.

1130
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:16,120
100%.

1131
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:17,640
Weirdly, my main takeaway was quite different.

1132
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:18,640
Okay.

1133
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:19,640
Hit me with it.

1134
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:23,200
I'd like to read you a note that I wrote about 15% of the way through this film.

1135
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:24,200
Okay.

1136
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:29,000
Because I scribble notes as I watch the film, just like things that strike me or things

1137
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:33,120
that on my first watch I'm like, this is interesting or that's a nice shot or, and then once the

1138
00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:37,120
film's over, I can look at it and go, okay, what's the kind of the shape of my feelings

1139
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:38,120
on this film?

1140
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:39,120
Yeah.

1141
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:43,640
And about 10% of the way in, I wrote, I would go to the island in a heartbeat.

1142
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:49,880
I am realizing that if I lived the life I've lived so far, but as a woman, I would have

1143
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:54,400
had the most horrible history of any woman who ever lived.

1144
00:43:54,400 --> 00:44:00,120
Because I've just skipped as a man, I have skipped around and just gone, sure I'll get

1145
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:01,120
in the car.

1146
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:03,680
Do you know how many strangers cars I've climbed in?

1147
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:04,680
Same.

1148
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:06,640
I went to a party once.

1149
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:08,560
I met them at the club.

1150
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:12,000
It was chasing status used to run a club night in East London.

1151
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:14,600
Met some people at the club.

1152
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:16,360
I didn't know most of their names.

1153
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:18,600
I couldn't tell you a single one of their names now.

1154
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:24,040
All I remember is we went back to one of their houses, got really drunk, got blackout drunk.

1155
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:25,720
I don't remember most of the night.

1156
00:44:25,720 --> 00:44:28,320
I woke up on a leather sofa.

1157
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:31,080
I used to dye my hair at the time, so my hair was bright blue.

1158
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:35,400
Woke up on a white leather sofa and I lifted my head off the white leather of the sofa.

1159
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:38,400
The leather was blue.

1160
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:43,880
And then I looked at the table and there was a brick of what I could only assume was cocaine

1161
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:47,840
and a sub machine gun.

1162
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:48,840
I had no memory.

1163
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:50,840
I didn't know where I was.

1164
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:53,840
I didn't know whose house I was.

1165
00:44:53,840 --> 00:45:00,320
I just very quietly got my coat on, which I'd been using as a duvet.

1166
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:05,480
And then just left and tried to not think about it again.

1167
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:08,280
That's a funny story because I'm a man.

1168
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:09,280
100%.

1169
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:16,600
Dude, the amount of stuff, the amount of stupid, stupid, stupid stuff that we've done in our

1170
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:17,600
past.

1171
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:21,080
I mean, you've just described that party minus the machine gun and a brick of cocaine.

1172
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:24,240
That's essentially half of the house parties that you invited me to.

1173
00:45:24,240 --> 00:45:26,560
To people I'd never met before, Rob.

1174
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:28,600
I would rock up at these houses knowing you.

1175
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:33,040
We would do one line of drugs and then you would disappear into the night like a lollipop

1176
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:34,040
child into a field.

1177
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:38,840
I would never see you again for about six weeks and I would randomly get a text.

1178
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:40,840
You get home all right.

1179
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:45,920
Five and a half weeks ago.

1180
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:49,800
And that's how, admittedly, right, again, this is like a whole thing.

1181
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:54,120
It's a privilege in a way that we can do that silly stuff and get away with it because of

1182
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:56,600
the position that we were sort of like naturally just born into.

1183
00:45:56,600 --> 00:45:59,080
Which is outrageous to say out loud.

1184
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:00,080
Unwantable.

1185
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:01,080
Yeah, it's ridiculous.

1186
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:03,440
It is a ridiculous thing to say out loud.

1187
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:09,080
Okay, I've got one final thing before we get into a game because I've got a blinder of

1188
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:10,080
a game for you.

1189
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:11,840
I'm going to test your knowledge to the hills.

1190
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:14,960
After the game and after your point, I've got a bizarre comment corner.

1191
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:17,040
It's a left field.

1192
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:20,080
It's not even a comment, but you know, sometimes you bring odd stuff.

1193
00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:21,080
I'm into it, mate.

1194
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:22,080
I've got some odd stuff.

1195
00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:23,080
So let me hear this.

1196
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:24,080
Let me hear this.

1197
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:25,080
Stop selling.

1198
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:26,080
I'm sold.

1199
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:27,080
Right.

1200
00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:28,080
The island.

1201
00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:29,640
Yes, the Jared Leto cult island.

1202
00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:32,840
Yeah, the Slater Jared Leto cult island.

1203
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:37,880
For those that don't know, Jared Leto owns a private island on which he only allows cult

1204
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:40,680
members onto and they are all exclusively young women.

1205
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:41,680
Sorry, continue.

1206
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:42,680
The island.

1207
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:44,000
I don't think you need to explain that.

1208
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:45,000
Jared Leto is a piece of shit.

1209
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:46,000
Do you know what I mean?

1210
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:47,000
Everyone knows it.

1211
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:50,920
There might be somebody out there who doesn't know who's eyeing up an invite and we've just

1212
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:51,920
saved them.

1213
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:52,920
Jesus Christ.

1214
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:53,920
Yeah, maybe.

1215
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:54,920
Maybe.

1216
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:59,760
He gets his private islands where, you know, luckily there's this flower that he can use

1217
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:03,520
to make this memory loss drug that only exists on this island.

1218
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:06,520
It's mad, that's a good coincidence.

1219
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:12,720
But then unfortunately, the only thing that cures it is one of the yellow, yellow, pythons,

1220
00:47:12,720 --> 00:47:16,560
yellow being happiness, innocent optimism, sickness, madness, caution.

1221
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:18,280
See yellow python, red flower.

1222
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:20,400
What's color theory again, Rob?

1223
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:23,200
Welcome back to the tour bus.

1224
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:31,440
So these yellow pythons are the only things that cure the memory wipe drug.

1225
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:34,600
Both of these things solely exist on this one island.

1226
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:35,600
Yes.

1227
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:36,600
100%.

1228
00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:42,120
What I find amazing is that the fact that he's hired a snake wrangler to harvest the

1229
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:45,160
cure to his demon drug.

1230
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:46,160
Yes.

1231
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:52,240
And stores it in a cupboard immediately adjacent to his memory demon drug.

1232
00:47:52,240 --> 00:47:57,560
It's all very odd, convenient choices for a very wealthy, very smart man.

1233
00:47:57,560 --> 00:48:01,960
And it's almost like he's saying, I like the idea that I might get caught one day.

1234
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:03,080
It's a hundred percent that.

1235
00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:04,080
It's a hundred percent that.

1236
00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:05,080
It's a bit of a thrill.

1237
00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:07,480
It's a hundred percent there aren't that many secret cupboards and you've got two things

1238
00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:08,480
you need to keep secret.

1239
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:09,480
Right.

1240
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:13,680
And it's a hundred percent you keep the Narcanol next to the heroin.

1241
00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:14,680
I might over go.

1242
00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:15,680
Okay.

1243
00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:18,680
I might use the antidote to the thing that I might overdose on.

1244
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:22,680
What dickhead is going to accidentally spray himself with a perfume that he's made specifically

1245
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:23,680
to spike women?

1246
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:25,880
It's what's going to be like, do you know what smells delicious?

1247
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:29,520
No, it's what dickhead is going to go for a walk, found him, find himself surrounded

1248
00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:33,080
by those trees and then not remember his mom's name when he comes back for lunch.

1249
00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:34,080
Oh yeah.

1250
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:35,080
Could you imagine?

1251
00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:36,080
I wonder what this smells like.

1252
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:37,080
Where am I?

1253
00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:38,080
Exactly.

1254
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:39,080
Right.

1255
00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:43,040
And secondly, the snake in the flower is actually really scientifically accurate.

1256
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:44,880
It's a thing called coevolution.

1257
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:51,680
And so there are certain trees that produce certain flowers for certain pollinators.

1258
00:48:51,680 --> 00:49:00,240
And so hummingbirds, their beaks develop, their bills, sorry, develop for this particular

1259
00:49:00,240 --> 00:49:02,480
flower that they feed upon.

1260
00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:03,600
There are certain flowers.

1261
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:09,400
I think it's the Lotus, the one that grows in swamps.

1262
00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:14,520
Anyway, it was, it was evolved for a species of beetle that no longer exists.

1263
00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:20,280
So it's constantly waiting for its perfect pollinator that no longer lives on this planet.

1264
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:24,320
Quite often in small isolated areas like Madagascar or...

1265
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:25,640
That's desperately sad.

1266
00:49:25,640 --> 00:49:26,640
It's desperately sad.

1267
00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:30,520
It's one of those things I always, I always pull up when I want to depress myself.

1268
00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:32,920
That's first date talk that is.

1269
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:33,920
Quite often.

1270
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:34,920
But like figs...

1271
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:35,920
There's a flower.

1272
00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:36,920
Right.

1273
00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:39,920
Figs and fig wasps, you know, they're like, like if you eat a fig, you're eating a dead

1274
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:46,000
wasp because it climbs in, lays its eggs and then dies, can't get out again.

1275
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:48,960
They are co-evolved and it happens all the time.

1276
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:49,960
Is that true?

1277
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:50,960
That's true.

1278
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:51,960
Yeah.

1279
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:52,960
Every fig you eat is a dead wasp.

1280
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:56,360
I mean, it might be an urban legend, but I'm up until this point in my life, up until

1281
00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:58,560
this point in my life, I'll Google it now.

1282
00:49:58,560 --> 00:49:59,560
That is.

1283
00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:00,560
It might not be every fig.

1284
00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:03,800
I know there are a lot of figs that have dead wasps in.

1285
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:08,600
Imagine the back of the package in a fig rolls when it's just sort of like, yeah, may contain

1286
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:09,600
wasp.

1287
00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:15,440
They're pollinated by tiny wasps that are so small and well hidden that they go unnoticed.

1288
00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:19,440
Crawls into a fig through a narrow hole, loses her wings and becomes trapped.

1289
00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:22,760
So figs aren't vegan because they are literally full of wasps.

1290
00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:23,760
Yeah.

1291
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:24,760
Yeah.

1292
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:25,760
Yeah.

1293
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:26,760
Yeah.

1294
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:27,760
It doesn't matter to you anymore.

1295
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:28,760
You had like 19 kilos of chicken today.

1296
00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:29,760
No, I didn't.

1297
00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:32,680
I paid 30 quid for literally less than a wing.

1298
00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:34,560
It was outrageous.

1299
00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:36,000
It was outrageous, mate.

1300
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:37,000
I promise you.

1301
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:39,000
I promise you it was outrageous.

1302
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:40,000
What's this game?

1303
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:41,000
I want to hear this game.

1304
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:42,000
I got a game for you, Bud.

1305
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:43,000
You ready for this?

1306
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:44,000
Yeah.

1307
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:46,800
Now I've scoured high and low searching for this.

1308
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:48,080
You know what I mean?

1309
00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:49,640
Is it Channing Tatum rule 34?

1310
00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:51,440
Which is called, how well do you know Channing Tatum?

1311
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:52,960
I mean, not very well.

1312
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:53,960
I know he's an actor.

1313
00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:54,960
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

1314
00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:55,960
I've not met him.

1315
00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:58,280
I think we're going to find out that you're going to know him quite well.

1316
00:50:58,280 --> 00:50:59,280
Okay.

1317
00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:00,280
All right.

1318
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:01,280
Question one.

1319
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:03,680
And this has got a school photo of Channing Tatum.

1320
00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:05,920
I didn't know him at school.

1321
00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:08,880
Well you might not know this answer then, Bud.

1322
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:12,000
Which region of the United States was Channing Tatum born in?

1323
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:13,960
Southwest, north or east?

1324
00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:17,040
Isn't that the most annoying way to write northeast, south and west you've ever heard

1325
00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:18,040
in your entire life?

1326
00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:19,400
Yeah, I'm going to say, I'm going to say west.

1327
00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:20,400
You're going to say west?

1328
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:21,400
California, I'm guessing.

1329
00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:22,400
Oh, sorry.

1330
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:23,400
That was incorrect, buddy.

1331
00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:24,880
He was actually born in the south.

1332
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:26,840
Ah, shame.

1333
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:31,120
Which of the following conditions did Channing Tatum struggle with as a youngster?

1334
00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:35,960
Obesity, depression, ADD or anxiety?

1335
00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:39,280
I'm going to say anxiety.

1336
00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:41,040
Oh, buddy.

1337
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:43,040
It was ADD.

1338
00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:44,040
Yeah.

1339
00:51:44,040 --> 00:51:45,960
I'm sorry about this, mate.

1340
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:48,160
I'm beginning to feel like I don't even know Channing Tatum.

1341
00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:49,160
No, no, no.

1342
00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:50,160
I've got belief in you.

1343
00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:51,160
We can pull this back.

1344
00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:54,840
Which of these jobs did Channing Tatum most famously perform prior to becoming a film

1345
00:51:54,840 --> 00:51:55,840
actor?

1346
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:56,840
Dripper.

1347
00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:57,840
Lumberjack, liquor salesman, stripper or electrician?

1348
00:51:57,840 --> 00:51:58,840
Stripper.

1349
00:51:58,840 --> 00:51:59,840
Correct.

1350
00:51:59,840 --> 00:52:00,960
It's bad that you knew that one, eh?

1351
00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:01,960
Yeah, because Magic Mike.

1352
00:52:01,960 --> 00:52:02,960
Mad that you knew that one.

1353
00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:03,960
Best date movie.

1354
00:52:03,960 --> 00:52:04,960
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1355
00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:10,120
Which of these music videos marked Channing Tatum's first professional industry gig?

1356
00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:12,120
Was it Stronger by Britney Spears?

1357
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:14,680
Was it She Bangs by Ricky Martin?

1358
00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:17,520
Was it I'm Your Baby Tonight by Whitney Houston?

1359
00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:20,200
Or was it Beautiful by Christina Aguilera?

1360
00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:27,400
I'm going to go, just because it's funny, with the homoeroticism of She Bangs by Ricky

1361
00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:28,400
Martin.

1362
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:30,640
Dude, I'd have done the same.

1363
00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:32,200
What are we saying?

1364
00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:34,200
That is correct.

1365
00:52:34,200 --> 00:52:36,960
You have been my hero, baby.

1366
00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:42,040
Which of these real life criminals did Channing Tatum portray in the 2009 film Public Enemies?

1367
00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:43,560
Was it Pretty Boy Floyd?

1368
00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:44,660
Was it John Dillinger?

1369
00:52:44,660 --> 00:52:45,740
Was it Jesse James?

1370
00:52:45,740 --> 00:52:46,960
Was it Al Capone?

1371
00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:48,160
It was Pretty Boy Floyd.

1372
00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:49,160
Great film.

1373
00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:50,160
Pretty Boy Floyd.

1374
00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:51,160
Let's have a look, shall we?

1375
00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:52,160
That's incredible.

1376
00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:53,160
There you go, mate.

1377
00:52:53,160 --> 00:52:55,520
Anything with Stephen Grahamein, I will watch.

1378
00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:56,520
Sound.

1379
00:52:56,520 --> 00:52:57,520
All right.

1380
00:52:57,520 --> 00:53:01,880
Well, you are at the current score is three out of 100.

1381
00:53:01,880 --> 00:53:03,880
So I'm guessing this is a long quiz.

1382
00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:04,880
Round out at 10 questions.

1383
00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:05,880
Should we round out at 10?

1384
00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:06,880
Yeah, yeah.

1385
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:07,880
We round out at 10.

1386
00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:08,880
You know what I mean?

1387
00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:09,880
There's three left, four left.

1388
00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:11,880
In what year did Channing Tatum marry?

1389
00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:13,880
2000, 2002, 2005 or 2009?

1390
00:53:13,880 --> 00:53:15,640
Well, I don't know this, Ben, do I?

1391
00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:17,640
Because I thought he was married to Zoe Kravitz.

1392
00:53:17,640 --> 00:53:19,640
Yeah, but you know what I mean?

1393
00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:21,640
What were the years again?

1394
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:25,160
2000, 2002, 2005 or 2009.

1395
00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:27,000
Essentially two years apart.

1396
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:32,240
Those are all long before I read he called off his engagement to Zoe Kravitz.

1397
00:53:32,240 --> 00:53:34,680
So I've got no idea what is happening right now.

1398
00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:36,560
I'm going to say 2009.

1399
00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:37,760
Was that even an option?

1400
00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:38,760
It was an option.

1401
00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:39,760
Let me have a look.

1402
00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:40,760
Oh, thank God for that.

1403
00:53:40,760 --> 00:53:41,760
Let me have a look.

1404
00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:42,760
That's correct.

1405
00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:45,760
I know because I was at the wedding.

1406
00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:46,760
Yeah, you were there.

1407
00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:47,760
Yeah, I remember.

1408
00:53:47,760 --> 00:53:48,920
I saw the photos.

1409
00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:53,280
Which of the following is the profession of Channing Tatum's character in the 2013 drama

1410
00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:54,280
Foxcatcher?

1411
00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:55,680
Was he an Olympic wrestler?

1412
00:53:55,680 --> 00:53:56,680
Yes.

1413
00:53:56,680 --> 00:53:59,000
A football player, a polo player or a tennis player?

1414
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:00,000
Olympic wrestler.

1415
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:03,000
I said it after two options, but because that's very confusing.

1416
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:06,080
I said it after the first one.

1417
00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:10,040
In my world, I said it immediately on the of Olympic.

1418
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:11,640
Okay, sounds right.

1419
00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:12,640
Well, Olympic was right.

1420
00:54:12,640 --> 00:54:13,800
Olympic wrestler was right.

1421
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:17,480
Which of the following characters did Channing Tatum voice in The Simpsons?

1422
00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:18,920
Was it Walton Goggins?

1423
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:20,360
Was it Ned Flanders?

1424
00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:23,560
Was it himself or was it Ronald Rowley?

1425
00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:24,840
Well it will be Simpson.

1426
00:54:24,840 --> 00:54:28,120
So it will be himself because he will play himself.

1427
00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:29,520
As if that's the answer.

1428
00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:30,520
That's so stupid.

1429
00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:32,800
This is a shit quiz world.

1430
00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:33,800
It's The Simpsons.

1431
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:37,640
They're not going to get Channing Tatum on to be someone other than Channing Tatum, are

1432
00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:38,640
they?

1433
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:39,640
This is bollocks.

1434
00:54:39,640 --> 00:54:40,640
What would be the point?

1435
00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:41,640
We're ending that there.

1436
00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:44,240
You got seven out of a hundred and in my book, that's a win.

1437
00:54:44,240 --> 00:54:45,240
All right.

1438
00:54:45,240 --> 00:54:46,240
Yeah.

1439
00:54:46,240 --> 00:54:47,240
Good job, buddy.

1440
00:54:47,240 --> 00:54:48,240
Good job.

1441
00:54:48,240 --> 00:54:50,360
I've got something to play you, Ben.

1442
00:54:50,360 --> 00:54:52,040
This is my comment corner entry.

1443
00:54:52,040 --> 00:54:53,040
It's not a comment corner.

1444
00:54:53,040 --> 00:54:54,040
Okay.

1445
00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:55,040
We need to give you some backstory.

1446
00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:57,160
So hoping to move soon.

1447
00:54:57,160 --> 00:55:03,880
Living with family, it's been fun, but when I move, family want to move as well.

1448
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:08,960
So there's all sorts of things that are being done to ready for leaving this place and going

1449
00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:10,820
somewhere else, going our separate ways.

1450
00:55:10,820 --> 00:55:15,760
One of them is just going through the huge amounts of storage and getting rid.

1451
00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:18,240
There's just stuff.

1452
00:55:18,240 --> 00:55:23,040
Dead bodies from crimes that no one's looking for, the perpetrators anymore.

1453
00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:24,040
Needs to get gone.

1454
00:55:24,040 --> 00:55:25,040
Bad taxidermy.

1455
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:26,040
Good taxidermy.

1456
00:55:26,040 --> 00:55:28,560
And in there is a feather duster, right?

1457
00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:31,720
So that's gone on Facebook marketplace.

1458
00:55:31,720 --> 00:55:37,400
And let me tell you, let me tell you, the responses have been a treat.

1459
00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:38,400
Yes.

1460
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:39,640
Now I'm just going to play you my favourite one.

1461
00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:42,560
It's a voice note that somebody sent.

1462
00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:48,360
Now I do warn you, I do live in the country and I am rare in the way I sound around here.

1463
00:55:48,360 --> 00:55:52,660
You're about to be subjected to a hot fuzz-esque thick West country accent.

1464
00:55:52,660 --> 00:55:56,920
So dial your ear in for that and you might catch a half of this.

1465
00:55:56,920 --> 00:55:57,920
Okay?

1466
00:55:57,920 --> 00:55:58,920
Hit me.

1467
00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:03,120
If you've got a lot of other interests, go for it, love, right?

1468
00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:08,120
I want it, but I've got very drunk tonight.

1469
00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:11,120
It's the anniversary of my friend's death.

1470
00:56:11,120 --> 00:56:14,120
So yeah, I'm sorry to let you down.

1471
00:56:14,120 --> 00:56:17,120
But if you've got other interests, go for it.

1472
00:56:17,120 --> 00:56:21,600
If not, I'll pick up tomorrow, I promise you.

1473
00:56:21,600 --> 00:56:25,800
If you've got other interests, by all means, go for it.

1474
00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:31,000
But I got very drunk tonight with celebrating my friend hanging himself.

1475
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:33,600
I love this stuff so much.

1476
00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:37,880
Facebook marketplace is the wild West, man.

1477
00:56:37,880 --> 00:56:40,920
It's just a wild West.

1478
00:56:40,920 --> 00:56:44,040
I don't understand how people exist.

1479
00:56:44,040 --> 00:56:49,040
How people, how do I mean, clearly a mate doesn't.

1480
00:56:49,040 --> 00:56:50,040
That's the thing.

1481
00:56:50,040 --> 00:56:51,040
You know what I mean?

1482
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:52,040
That's okay.

1483
00:56:52,040 --> 00:56:57,160
It's also, it's also the phrasing that we're celebrating.

1484
00:56:57,160 --> 00:56:59,280
My friends like, wow, were they really a mate?

1485
00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:00,280
You know what I mean?

1486
00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:01,280
Yeah.

1487
00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:02,280
Oh my God.

1488
00:57:02,280 --> 00:57:03,280
What are you rating?

1489
00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:04,280
What are you rating blink twice?

1490
00:57:04,280 --> 00:57:08,600
I'm going to give it an eight.

1491
00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:09,600
It's a high eight.

1492
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:10,600
Interesting.

1493
00:57:10,600 --> 00:57:11,600
That's interesting.

1494
00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:12,600
It's a high eight.

1495
00:57:12,600 --> 00:57:14,600
Cause I've, I've got something for this.

1496
00:57:14,600 --> 00:57:15,600
Okay.

1497
00:57:15,600 --> 00:57:17,720
I've got let it's, it's a title.

1498
00:57:17,720 --> 00:57:18,720
Okay.

1499
00:57:18,720 --> 00:57:24,320
It's another, if okay, if so hot right now turns out to not be so hot right now.

1500
00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:27,320
I think it's the season to celebrate our eights man.

1501
00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:28,320
Okay.

1502
00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:31,320
They're not the greatest, but they're a damn good time.

1503
00:57:31,320 --> 00:57:32,320
Celebrate an eight.

1504
00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:33,320
I'm down to celebrate an eight.

1505
00:57:33,320 --> 00:57:34,580
Not everything has to be.

1506
00:57:34,580 --> 00:57:36,580
We can celebrate an eight hanging themselves.

1507
00:57:36,580 --> 00:57:37,580
You know what I mean?

1508
00:57:37,580 --> 00:57:43,600
Let's get West country with it, man.

1509
00:57:43,600 --> 00:57:46,040
She was celebrating her eight hanging himself.

1510
00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:47,040
That's why they're celebrating.

1511
00:57:47,040 --> 00:57:49,040
They're celebrating their eight.

1512
00:57:49,040 --> 00:57:50,560
I love this.

1513
00:57:50,560 --> 00:57:53,160
I feel like not every film has to change the world.

1514
00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:57,240
Not every film has to say something new or be the film to say it the best.

1515
00:57:57,240 --> 00:57:58,720
You can just put it on.

1516
00:57:58,720 --> 00:58:01,800
And then when you, when you next look at your watch, it's two hours later and you've had

1517
00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:02,800
a good time.

1518
00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:04,400
That's exactly what this is.

1519
00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:09,520
It's that, but in a more cathartic sense, it's a very good release that everyone needs

1520
00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:10,520
every now and then.

1521
00:58:10,520 --> 00:58:11,520
A hundred percent.

1522
00:58:11,520 --> 00:58:14,360
I think there's, there's people out there that this would be the fattest 10 for.

1523
00:58:14,360 --> 00:58:18,600
And I am, I'm so unbelievably happy that you have this in your arsenal because you deserve

1524
00:58:18,600 --> 00:58:19,600
it.

1525
00:58:19,600 --> 00:58:20,600
Way to go, man.

1526
00:58:20,600 --> 00:58:21,600
You know what I mean?

1527
00:58:21,600 --> 00:58:22,600
Enjoy it.

1528
00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:23,600
Take it all in.

1529
00:58:23,600 --> 00:58:28,320
The two points it loses is the sum of the cinematography where I'm like trying to fit

1530
00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:30,160
a lot into one frame.

1531
00:58:30,160 --> 00:58:33,240
And if I'm being honest, I could probably do that.

1532
00:58:33,240 --> 00:58:38,280
If I look at someone, I go, I could probably, it's my, it's my rule of thumb for art.

1533
00:58:38,280 --> 00:58:40,560
If I'm like, I could probably do that.

1534
00:58:40,560 --> 00:58:41,560
It's like, yeah.

1535
00:58:41,560 --> 00:58:42,640
You know what I mean?

1536
00:58:42,640 --> 00:58:47,320
I didn't do it, so it's still impressive, but it's not like, wow, how does that happen?

1537
00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:52,600
Whereas in some films I watch and I'm like, why would you even think of doing this phenomenal

1538
00:58:52,600 --> 00:58:53,600
thing?

1539
00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:57,720
Why would you ever dare in the bin?

1540
00:58:57,720 --> 00:59:01,080
Why would you ever dare to do this brave, brave camera angle?

1541
00:59:01,080 --> 00:59:02,800
A lot of it's just sort of like tracking and stuff.

1542
00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:03,800
The audio is mint.

1543
00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:04,800
Yep.

1544
00:59:04,800 --> 00:59:05,800
Lots of snap cuts.

1545
00:59:05,800 --> 00:59:06,800
Yeah.

1546
00:59:06,800 --> 00:59:07,800
That's great.

1547
00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:08,800
Big fan of that.

1548
00:59:08,800 --> 00:59:12,560
But yeah, I just, there's some points where I'm like, if I can do it, try harder.

1549
00:59:12,560 --> 00:59:16,800
It's a good eight.

1550
00:59:16,800 --> 00:59:19,760
That sadly is all the time we have for this week.

1551
00:59:19,760 --> 00:59:25,960
We will be back next week with a film that is not only so hot right now in that it has

1552
00:59:25,960 --> 00:59:31,520
a famous actor known for doing one thing presented doing something else, but I wouldn't be surprised

1553
00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:33,520
if it's another eight we can celebrate, buddy.

1554
00:59:33,520 --> 00:59:36,040
It's going to be heretic next week.

1555
00:59:36,040 --> 00:59:37,040
Ooh.

1556
00:59:37,040 --> 00:59:38,040
Interesting.

1557
00:59:38,040 --> 00:59:39,040
Interesting.

1558
00:59:39,040 --> 00:59:40,040
Doing Halloween in February.

1559
00:59:40,040 --> 00:59:45,040
Yeah, buddy.

1560
00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:47,440
Welcome to the prep.

1561
00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:49,680
All right.

1562
00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:52,840
Guys, thank you so much for hanging out with us.

1563
00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:54,240
It's been an absolute pleasure.

1564
00:59:54,240 --> 00:59:59,060
You have no idea how much it means to us that you've given us an hour of your time.

1565
00:59:59,060 --> 01:00:02,320
Just before we wrap up the show, if you did enjoy this episode and you want to support

1566
01:00:02,320 --> 01:00:05,640
the show, you can leave us a review and tell a friend about us.

1567
01:00:05,640 --> 01:00:08,720
It helps us more than you will ever know.

1568
01:00:08,720 --> 01:00:09,720
It really does.

1569
01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:13,880
If you want more show, more content and an extra episode every month, you can support

1570
01:00:13,880 --> 01:00:17,880
us over on Patreon for as little as a pound a month.

1571
01:00:17,880 --> 01:00:18,880
It's a quid.

1572
01:00:18,880 --> 01:00:19,880
It is.

1573
01:00:19,880 --> 01:00:20,880
It's a quid.

1574
01:00:20,880 --> 01:00:22,720
Thank you so much for hanging out with us, guys.

1575
01:00:22,720 --> 01:00:26,400
We love and appreciate each and every one of you from the bottom of our hearts.

1576
01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:27,400
We really, really do.

1577
01:00:27,400 --> 01:00:30,640
And to thank you for spending an hour of your week with us, especially at the start of the

1578
01:00:30,640 --> 01:00:31,640
week.

1579
01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:32,640
We know a lot of you listen on a Monday.

1580
01:00:32,640 --> 01:00:36,960
Ben is now going to wrap up thoughts, themes and feelings of this week's film into a little

1581
01:00:36,960 --> 01:00:42,240
Monday motivational pep talk while I just do what everyone always tells you to do and

1582
01:00:42,240 --> 01:00:45,640
just tell you to consume.

1583
01:00:45,640 --> 01:00:51,760
Listen, if there's one thing we take away from this film more than anything else, you

1584
01:00:51,760 --> 01:00:53,640
can't beat them, join them.

1585
01:00:53,640 --> 01:00:54,640
You know what I mean?

1586
01:00:54,640 --> 01:00:55,640
Fuck them.

1587
01:00:55,640 --> 01:00:59,960
Just if you're going to if you if you've been robbed, double down, rob them back.

1588
01:00:59,960 --> 01:01:02,240
But also rob their bloodline.

1589
01:01:02,240 --> 01:01:03,700
Don't ever let it drop.

1590
01:01:03,700 --> 01:01:06,040
You could commit to this for a few years.

1591
01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:07,040
I'm sorry.

1592
01:01:07,040 --> 01:01:09,680
Yeah, I've robbed your parents, but also you've just moved to uni.

1593
01:01:09,680 --> 01:01:10,680
Ha ha ha ha.

1594
01:01:10,680 --> 01:01:12,200
That's my laptop now, bitch.

1595
01:01:12,200 --> 01:01:14,200
That's my laptop now.

1596
01:01:14,200 --> 01:01:20,960
Or, you know, like if they start if they start to like you know, I had so much more in the

1597
01:01:20,960 --> 01:01:22,020
tank.

1598
01:01:22,020 --> 01:01:36,560
I had more in the tank.
