You know what that sound means? It's another
episode of Game For A Movie, where we ask, are
you Game For A Movie? My name is Mike, I'll be
your host. Today, I am joined by... Hey, it's
me, Zach. Hi, Zach. Welcome back, buddy. Hey,
Mike, how are you? I'm good, how about you? I'm
less mad at you today than I was the last two
times we were all here. Really? Okay. We'll talk
about it, yeah. Yeah, I didn't know which way
we were gonna go with this one. Uh, because I
am more mad at myself. Oh, nice. It is September,
and we were trying to ruin a childhood classic
month. We've done things like Master of Disguise
and The Medallion, which at this point of recording
still hasn't come out yet, but it will be, I
swear. We tried for Swim Fan, which is this stalker
movie about a fan of swimming and everything
like that, and it cost money. I will never ask
a guest to spend that money and I will also never
try myself to spend that money. So even though
it was $3 .99 to rent, let's save that money.
I didn't even see it in the library. Yeah, I
didn't either. I went for a look for it and this
one that we ended up doing instead. We stuck
with the stalker theme and we are going to jump
into a couple things before we talk about it,
but the movie is The Fanatic. Don Travolta Noises.
John Travolta noises. First, we've got to jump
into what are we drinking. Zach, what do you
got over there? You ever heard of Harpoon Brewery?
I have. I'm having one of their pumpkin ciders.
Oh, nice. I'm having a Harpoon IPA as we speak.
Oh, nice. Thank you, Boston. It is a theme for
this episode because we have a deal for you.
A lot of people don't know this and Zach, you
might be learning this for the first time too.
The idea for this podcast came up at a harpoon
brewery. Oh, nice. We were at the harpoon brewery
in Boston back when we lived in Connecticut and
basically just came up with the idea. I want
to watch bad movies with my friends, you know,
that kind of thing. Have a couple beers, couple
harpoons, that kind of thing. Well, our RSS feed
offered us a chance that we could make our own
code and For anybody that buys anything from
the Harpoon Brewery eStore, you will get 25 %
off. That's right. If you want Harpoon apparel,
glassware, souvenirs, you can get 25 % off if
you use the code GFAM. Hey, that's the name of
the show. It is the name of the show. It is the
initials of the show. It's what we call our fans
of the show. GFAM will get you 25 % off the Harpoon
Brewery eStore. Truthfully we get nothing out
of it unless you buy something and then we get
a little commission off of it. I Would love for
you to support harpoon personally just because
I like harpoon use the code GFam save yourself
25 % off get yourself some harpoon gear Okay,
that is the reason we are drinking some harpoon
beers That it's good that and yes exactly that
and it's good. You're right So let's talk something
not good. Let's talk this movie, The Fanatic.
Six production companies, right off the bat.
Six. And I have a fun game for you, because I
kind of got jumpscared by it. Do you know which
one is the obvious Fred Durst production company?
Is that the one that yells, what is it, possum
something? Pretzelfang! Pretzelfang, okay. it
was quiet except for like some music like over
the top you thought you were just getting into
it and then all of a sudden pretzel fang comes
up and it's just pretzel fang yeah loud loud
loud exactly i said it was a jump scare because
i was not expecting that uh where did you watch
this movie by the way i watched this on youtube
and it's not like illegally posted it's from
quiver distribution it's just out there on their
youtube no ads not a single ad in the whole thing
i should have done it that way damn it Yeah,
I watched it on Plex. That's the first time I've
ever used Plex. They're probably the worst for
commercials because I had one every like 10 minutes
it felt like. It's got 6 .4 thousand likes. Okay.
Which is either way less than it should or way
more than it should depending on where you're
at coming this movie. The first question, the
pinned comment is from Quiver asking, what are
your thoughts on Travolta's performance? I thought
that was a bold choice. That's one that I don't
think I would go with. Because of all the things
in this movie, that definitely was one of the
ones that hurt me the most is his performance.
Yeah, it is definitely heavily moderated, the
comment section. I'm sure it is. Oh, I can only
imagine. This movie on Rotten Tomatoes sits at
a 15 %... Critics score a 32 % audience score
perfect in our range I actually feel like the
32 % is a little high compared to what it was
originally Yeah, it's it's something I Forgot
to go through. I know it was nominated for Rezzy.
I can't remember if it won I don't know two wins
two nominations. It was nominated for worst picture
and worst director at the Razzie's. It won for
Worst Actor. Oh. And it also won the Internet
Film Critics Society Worst Film Award. How many
Razzie's does John Tripple to have? I mean, it's
got to be more than one, right? Yeah, because
I mean, you've got to imagine he probably has
one for like Battlefield Earth. Mm hmm. So he.
Interesting. This is okay. So he's been nominated
a couple times. He's only won twice, but both
times he won twice in the same year. Okay. So
in 2000, he won worst actor for his performances
in Battlefield Earth and Lucky Numbers. Don't
even remember lucky numbers. I don't remember
either and then in 2020 he won for he won worst
actor for his roles in the fanatic and trading
paint which I have never heard of what the heck
I don't I don't know, you know some actors will
be like one for you one for me. Yeah What is
he doing? Yeah, right. It's like well, he was
a producer on this one. So I feel like this was
his one for him Okay. Yeah, I didn't know any
of that. I knew what the budget was in the box
office we can circle back to that at the end
if you want to no let's do it now let's let's
get let's get all this uh first and then we'll
go to the actual details of the movie the movie
cost 18 million dollars okay that's that's that
was the slim budget do you know what the box
office was six thousand dollars $3 ,153. I can't
do much. That was an average of $60 per theater.
Oh my God. And most, let's say 10 to $12. That's
like five people per theater. Yeah, right. That's
it. Yeah. Oh my God. That's rough. That's really
bad. Like really bad. And I remember it had a
marketing push. This wasn't something that didn't
have ads in commercials and stuff. Right, it
wasn't like a crazy push, but it was places.
Like, I do remember seeing a commercial for it
at least. God, that's awful. Okay, good job,
Fred. And Dave Beckerman. I have no idea who
he is. I tried for like three days to figure
out who Dave Beckerman was. He's the other writer
on this movie. I can't find anything about this
dude. Dave Beckerman. I'm pulling it up right
now. Usually I have it up. Uh, he's written two
movies. The Fanatic and Trad. Which is a short,
like making fun, I think it's making fun of like
Tradwives on TikTok and stuff. Gotta be, right?
Oh, he's also a stunt driver on Mo Crew. Okay.
Interesting. That's all I got from him. That's
it. Yeah. You know the other thing Fred Durst
directed? I found this. Well, I was looking to
figure out who Dave was. Oh god. Uh, go on. Long
shots with ice cube Really he directed this in
long shots Huh? Yeah, interesting Okay, I don't
have anything. It's just an interesting fact.
He has 46 credits to his name as a director Yeah,
I'm sure in Limp Bizkit's yeah, lots of corns
lots of Limp Bizkit's there's some Tommy Lee
like it makes sense I didn't expect it to be,
like, a bunch of huge things. The education of
Charlie Banks never heard of that. The truth,
um... Oh, the truth looks like one of his good
songs. Like... Yeah. Um... Puddle of mud. Oh
my god. Stained. It's been a while. Yeah, so,
you know, stuff you'd expect. Yeah, exactly.
Like, music video's fine. And there were some
interesting choices in this that I wasn't hating.
Yeah. I didn't get the drawing, but... The drawing.
So many times in my notes, it's like, who is
drawing this? Why are they drawing this? What's
happening? And why is this whole story being
told by Leah that also kind of threw me, I guess,
in some kind of narration for what's happening?
But it wasn't good narration. The first one where
he's setting up the movie, it's like, he's breakable,
but he's unbreakable, but everything breaks until
it doesn't, unless it does. It was like cliche
after cliche, too. Like it was like, this city
will break you unless it doesn't. Yeah. Yeah.
And it was I don't even know. And we're starting
at the beginning, but the editing of this movie
is barely there. Yeah. It's it's it's a lot of
long like this movie could have probably been
an hour tops. if you just cut the scenes of him
on his moped or like the... So I made a note
of this and I'm like a hundred percent sure even
though I can't prove it. There is no way in hell
he got those homeless people to sign a waiver
or gave them any kind of like reciprocation for
filming them. He just put a camera on the street
and film these people, right? Yeah. Yeah. And
I think he shot, I have no, I haven't found this.
He shot this whole thing in like two or three
days, right? Just the way it's cut and filmed?
Oh yeah, it's something crazy like that. I didn't
see the actual number, but I do know that it
was a short time. I think they only had like
a week and a half of production or something
like that. The first time we see Todd the God,
which we'll get to in a little bit, it's shot
entirely from the left, I believe. And then the
next time we see him it's all from the right.
Same crowd. They just move some people. You know
that because of the serial face. Yep. Everyone's
wearing the same outfit. Serious face just doesn't
go anywhere. He loves Todd the God. He's just
there for all of it. He's bringing the nails,
I guess, and the fake blood. And then they shot
in the bathroom. And I think that was all shot
at every scene in the bathroom. It was probably
shot the same day. I'm sure that was. Because
it looks like they're almost wearing the same
stuff even. They were. Todd in the... What's
the pickpocket's name? It doesn't matter. I just
called my friend. I called him Buddy. Like it
was literally I had nothing else for this guy
except for just his name is Buddy. I also think
at one point they messed up the kid's name, but
I'll get to that eventually. Okay. So we start
this movie. We're looking at Los Angeles and
we see these homeless people. That's what caught
me in the beginning. Yeah. I feel like calling
it shots of Los Angeles is way too like giving
him too much credit it's like one shot from the
hill one shot of the downtown where nobody's
at and then two shots of the boulevard where
the stars are at and that's it yeah they just
they went on location with like a gopro and just
kind of put it out there uh and we we first get
introduced to moose riding his moped played by
john travolta what is the first line john travolta
says I have no idea. I was still trying to get
over the Leah voiceover. Leah voiceover? Yeah,
he says, and I quote, can't talk long, gotta
poo. He doesn't go to poo? He does not. No, he's
talking with the store owner and he never goes
to poo. And he talks long with him. Yeah, he
gets the vest and goes somewhere else. Right.
I totally forgot that. Yeah, he walks out. So
who knows where he goes to poo? And yeah, so.
The relationship with the store owner he so I
guess the store owner runs like like a movie
lot collectibles set memorabilia kind of stuff
cuz He has a sequined vest Rico on it Rico Yeah,
space vampires he says I will not let it go for
less than $800 lets it go for $300 but not even
for $300 for the promise of $300 over the next
year before the end of the year that is insane
and it's uh this vest it belongs to hunter dunbar
the actor in space vampires it's the legit vest
apparently and hunter dunbar is coming to the
store moose is excited because he wants an autograph
yeah and this is our first real introduction
to like moose He wants autographs from, like,
everybody. Yeah, but specifically this guy. Specifically
Hunter Dunbar. We're told he likes horror movies,
and this guy's in a bunch of them. Played by
Devin Sawa, right? Yeah. So, like, I saw him,
and I was kind of like, he looks kind of familiar,
but I don't really recognize him. I guess I really
haven't seen him since Final Destination. I don't
know, I was saying in idle hands. Yeah. Even
Casper. He's a little kid from Casper. Yeah,
yeah, yeah. I mean, that's... At least I had
like a grown -up like experience. Those are those
are my teenage references that I won't let go
and yeah I don't I can't recall any probably
some TV bit parts. He's done nothing like crazy
where it's um but you do know why he was chosen
right? No why? So you know you know the music
video Stan from Eminem? He's Stan. Oh that is
okay. Yeah, so there's definitely... Yeah, so
that's the reason why he's in this movie, pretty
much. I have no idea. Yeah, he was Stan in the
music video. Yeah, I can picture it. Yeah, right.
The camera's spinning. I did not click with that
until I looked up his name. And it said, like,
Stan on his... It's the first video on his IMDb
page. And it goes, oh yeah, he was Stan in the
music video. What? Yeah, so thus the obsession
with Hunter Dunbar. Hunter Dunbar. You have to
buy a book. Yes. Unless you're moose. Unless
you're moose. Moose just gets in line. He doesn't
care about the book. He also is apparently going
to a party with him that night. Yeah. Which we'll
talk about that party because that comes up a
little bit. Yes. He's at the book signing. For
the shop owner moves him up the line. Yep notice,
but just because just here you go And I guess
this was the first Break in tone that really
happens because we're in this line and this whole
thing's been like You know, it's over the show.
It's we're just watching moose and now we're
in a fantasy scene The Hunter Dunbar's at the
desk signing books talking to the lady and there's
just a spotlight And everything else is black?
Yeah. And just Moose staring at him, too. Like,
it's just... There's no emotion or anything like
that. He's just staring at him, and he just looks
at the spotlight on Hunter. Yeah. Should we talk
about his character choices at this point? Or
do you want to wait a little bit more? Let's
do it. How John Travolta's playing this guy.
Yeah, let's pull off the Band -Aid. I mean, he's
going full Rain Man Autistic in this. Role. Yeah,
like there's he he goes off the deep end for
sure where it's just like The ticks the everything
like he's just full -on like swaying half the
time and like rocking back and forth and missing
social cues Yeah, no eye contact right every
stereotype you can think of exactly he's doing
it powered up to like ten times Yes, and that's
the thing is like I Don't think it would bother
me as much if he did all those stereotypes if
you just like tone it down. If there was like
a little rocking here or there or like missing
social cues, that kind of stuff. He's ham -fisted.
Hey, look, I'm autistic. Like it's, it's, I just
got to remind you and it makes him less endearing,
I think. I think you could have played it and
gotten like a little more sympathy for him. Yeah.
This movie never decides who's the good guy who's
the bad guy? Yeah, maybe part of them. It's it
goes back and forth a lot Yeah, I agree. It just
I think Fred Durst hates celebrities and neurodivergent
people and fans Probably Just the whole entertainment
industry and neurodivergent folks. Oh Yeah, like
that that's a word. Leah says that a lot. That
comes out of nowhere. At least four times in
this movie. All by Leah, I think Leah says it
twice, and I think each of them also said it
once. But Moose was kind of like, it was talking
with Leah, and so it kind of was like him using
her word, I feel like, in that situation. I'm
diving way too much into thought process in this
movie. There was none of that. We're bringing
way more thought than they put into it. Yeah,
exactly. Like, I feel like he kind of threw that
word at her because she uses it all the time,
not more so because he actually uses that word.
Because he's socially awkward and autistic. Right.
Exactly. Yeah. Wait, how'd you know? I couldn't
tell. Because he wouldn't let me forget. Because
the next scene, Hunter is drawn away from the
table because, uh, I don't know, ex -partner?
His son's mom? Oh yeah, Brenda. Yeah, Brenda,
the, um, Hunter's... ex -wife who has a date
who was supposed to uh he was supposed to watch
Tanner and Tanner's the son and then yeah they
did what any person would do is drop him off
at the come to the signing not to drop him off
but just to yell at him yeah for not picking
up the sun yep yeah and in case you forgot the
social stuff now Moose is outside watching this
fight go down and the the line that got me Well,
the line that got me is him going at the end
when Brenda kind of drives off a little bit,
going, I'm on your side. Just no matter what
he does, Hunter is not the bad guy in his mind
for the longest time. Yeah. He's not even interrupting.
They're talking, Hunter and Brenda are talking
at the car and he's like, hey, sign this, like
sticking it in his face. So I guess right now
he's the bad guy. Moose is so far in this movie.
I think about this whole thing. So he gets all
worked up about an autograph and like Hunter
gets all worked up about an autograph. Just sign
the thing. Yeah. I don't I don't see what the
big issue is. It just feels like I think I talked
about this in Fantastic Four. They just needed
a movie. And so this guy's going to be a douche
and not sign it on the stairs. Right. Yeah. You
know, yeah. Let's get some even worse. Oh, sorry.
Go. Yeah. Oh, I was gonna say we go to the party
after this, but make some more what? Oh, no,
I was gonna say the party actually happened beforehand.
Oh, it was the night before Which is fine. I
mean, it's not that big a deal cuz honestly this
movie it you could probably rearrange all the
pieces and it doesn't matter doesn't matter Hunter
wasn't there. Yes. I just want to talk about
how strange you're like There was like six people
at the party. Yep And then this celebrity photographer,
like, why was she there? Right. She's taking
pictures. Why does she have a plus one? Well,
that's the thing, too, is like she could get
them in, I guess, but not really. And they needed
bolt cutters to get through the door, which he
brought scissors because he didn't know what
he was looking for, because, again, autism. And
so he jumps the fence. And this comes back later
that she taught him how to jump the fence. Yeah.
That was apparently important to know. Yeah.
You're gonna have to remember that later. He
meets Amanda, the celebrity, and like starts
naming her filmography at her. And she's nice
with him and she would, I think she would have
signed the thing if the security guard didn't
come over. Yeah. Yeah. Which didn't make, like,
she didn't seem bothered. No. He wasn't yelling.
No. The security guard just comes up. Because
you're causing a scene. Basically, yeah, like
you need to go. Which he starts yelling, Leah,
Leah, Leah, at her. Yeah. Which... You'd think
you'd know if you snuck into enough parties.
Don't yell out who got you in there. You're not
getting to another one if you yell that out.
Oh. Yeah, we also skipped the first time you
meet Todd the God. Todd the God and the British
policeman that Moose plays on the Hollywood Boulevard.
Mm -hmm, which he's just like I Guess they needed
it. So they didn't do that much on the street
They have the bathroom scenes probably like so
they can show that he's prepping for it But not
on the actual Boulevard because they probably
Couldn't shut it down for however long right
But let's explain Todd the god Where to begin
He's just this I guess Like a grifter, right?
Like just a typical carny. Pretty much, yeah.
I think he pretends to stick a nail through his
nose, has fake blood all over his face. He's
an illusionist. He doesn't do tricks. And then
his buddy just is like pickpocketing on the side.
I have a question. Did that guy just have like
three stacks in his back pocket? He goes for
the same guy, doesn't he? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I'm
with you on this because I thought that too.
I was just like, that's the same pants. Like
that's the same from the first same shirt. Yeah,
exactly. Like, okay. So I was wondering about
that and I didn't like make a note of it or anything,
but you're exactly right. Like I think it was
the same guy. He just had three wallets on him.
Yeah. No, it wasn't even a wallet. I think it
was just like a stack of cash in his backpack.
Just here you go. Cash. They just drop a bunch
of fives in the bucket. Yeah. Todd the God is
something else, but him and his buddy are like,
they're the mean guys. They're the street performers
that give moose a hard time kind of thing. Which
does a lot later on in the movie, but it's just
to establish. I'll be honest, when I was watching
it the first go through, I was thinking, do I
need to take notes on these guys? Are they important?
Like, are they just showing that, hey, he's not
a good street performer. Like, he just does this
British policeman act. I almost got the idea
in the first time they meet that Moose wasn't
in on it, but, like, Todd wasn't just, like,
a total jerk to him that first time. He kind
of poked at him and ribbed him a little bit.
Yeah. He wanted to work with him. Because the
second time, he just, like, fools on. Bullies
him and like shaves him and yeah, but this time
he's like, hey, let's work together. Let's you
know Yeah, cuz I like what you're doing, but
maybe try this Yeah, buddy get into like an argument
and buddy walks away and like he still wants
to con people So he's like moose help me out
and yeah The line you don't respect the Boulevard
Yeah You don't respect the Boulevard man, you
just don't Yeah, so then the thing happens at
the store and Leah comes over afterwards and
basically Moose is in his feels and he knows
that she has some kind of something to track
celebrities. How do you find celebrities house?
Yeah, how do you find celebrities houses? Our
answer is an app. Yep, Star Maps app. So I'm
to understand that an autistic man living in
Los Angeles who's obsessed with celebrities doesn't
already have a publicly available app on his
phone. Right, and like it's the star maps that
you get at any kiosk or whatever that shows you
like the houses of the rich and famous and that
kind of stuff. It's just converted to an app
instead of like the map itself. Yeah. You can
also kind of flick it left and right like Tinder.
They changed cities. I think there was Atlanta
and New York, I saw one there too. At this point,
the editing and pacing just has gone out of the
window. Yep. Like, it goes right from the bookstore
to him, you know, yeah, it's... Yeah. And like,
my thing is, so the party happened. So, like,
Leah knows how he is sometimes with celebrities.
and yet still offers to help him with this app.
You know what's gonna happen. He's going to find
Hunter Dunbar's house. And yet still helps him.
Which he does. Yep. And then he goes full Stan
and writes a letter to Hunter about how mad he
is that he didn't get something signed. Yep.
And just stands in front of the gate of his house.
Yep. Which, how long was it between him getting
the app and standing there? Like, he has a phone
call scene with Leah where he saw Ben Affleck's
house and he saw Jamie Lee Curtis' house and
stuff like that. But it's night to night. And
they've changed clothes. So I think it's the
next day. But I'm not sure. Because they've shot
all of his apartment scenes at night. Right.
I feel like there's like a game between. Yeah,
yeah, yeah. But I couldn't tell you. Like, I
don't know. Because it literally goes from them
together in one outfit to him calling her in
a different outfit. Yeah, right. And of course,
when he goes with the letter, he gets caught.
Hunter and Tanner are there. They just went on
like a jog. Catches him and they're just like
what the fuck are you doing here? Yeah sends
the kid aside and then he Tells me what's an
autograph. He's got a letter. He's like, I don't
accept letters at my house. Totally reasonable.
So that's you know, that's what you would do
Like if this is a situation they say fine. I'll
autograph before he takes the pen and then Stabs
him with it I guess he like physically like jabs
it as hard as he can into his chest and signs
his shirt like full Yeah, like just dragging
it out just yeah Yeah Kind of thing. So I think
he's the bad guy now. This is the first time
it switches This is the time. He's the bad guy
for now. Yeah for now his signature sucks, too
By the way, I don't know why he wants it so bad
It's terrible. It's not not good And then Todd
the God scene 2 happens. Yes. He goes back to
the roller bar. It cuts right to that, doesn't
it? Now we're back at night. Oh, that's the only
daytime scene when he's in front of his house.
That's day. Yes. And then it's night and he's
the cop again. Yep. And he's the British cop
and he just puts it over his shirt. Like he just
puts the thing. So like that. Oh, and the mustache
over his beard. Yes, the mustache over his beard.
Is that the coin? The best part is when he's
like practicing all these lines the Subtitles
on it because I did watch with subtitles just
to not miss anything They'd spelled it how he
was trying to say it. So like a lot of use well
at the quine it's q u i n e like Yeah, so the
second time Todd and Buddy start messing with
him And they mess with him in the bathroom and
they're kind of like picking on him. And random
security guard comes in out of nowhere to protect
Moose. And they're on a first -name basis. Not
Moose in the security guard, but Todd in the
security guard. Todd in the security guard, yes.
I was just like, Moose doesn't seem to know him
really, like he acts like... Even though the
security guards like I see you get picked on
all the time kind of thing and he's just kind
of like I don't know who you are random security
guy Yeah, I don't even recognize you but basically
this is where the security guard tells him he
needs to stand up for himself and Yeah, kind
of twists that ideal into his head And then we
go where does it cut to next? I remember this
is a wild cut He goes back to the house doesn't
he? Yeah must be the next day because we actually
gave an establishing shot for this one yeah right
no this is an establishing shot and like my favorite
thing about this is he goes through some bushes
and then remember oh he is also we get more leo
votes over at this part i forgot occasionally
leo will tell us something it's yeah so is she
telling the story after everything happens it
must be right because she knows everything that's
gonna happen i guess i would assume so i don't
know it's very um It's cryptic more so because
of what she actually says. It's like she kind
of knows, but she doesn't kind of know, but she
kind of knows. I'm looking, I'm looking and I
have it written in the notes. She's like, I had
no idea Moose would go back to that guy's house.
But once you find the cookie jar, it's hard to
not go back for more. Like what? That's right.
That is right. The cookie jar. The cookie jar.
The cookie jar. There's no more autograph on
his shirt either. So. No. And it's the same shirt.
like yeah yeah so unless he has like a bunch
of the same shirt which are these weird hawaiian
like scary movie shirts yeah gotta make him stand
out and feel like he's special i don't know it
was those are those the shirts that everything
it's just weird i don't know um this time so
this is where we come back to the fact that he
jumped the fence and this is my favorite because
this fence is like three feet Like literally
he goes into some bushes and it gets to a fence
and the fence is like three feet tall and he's
like having a hard time getting over it because
again autistic and not able to just jump a fence
and the maid catches him and the maid what does
she grab to chase him off with I don't know what
that's supposed to be it's an Oscar yeah right
it's something where it's like You just grab
like an award just randomly. It looks like a
little kid's baseball trophy. It's like some
person holding a star. They probably bought that
on the Hollywood Boulevard. Like one of those
like best actor goes to with your name here kind
of thing and chases after him and he drops the
letter. He drops on the property. Does nobody
go on the property very often? Based on something
that happens later. I don't think so because
that letter took a while to get found too. Mm
-hmm So we cut to He's going back to Leah. She's
taking celebrity photos. Yep, cuz she's an operato
Yeah, but now he has another interaction with
Todd. Yep, who's making fun of him and we go
from full -on Trespassing to his full -on assault.
Yep. He starts choking him out. Yep. Moose just
starts losing it, starts choking Todd, and he
lets go, good enough. Like, I thought for sure
we were gonna have like a death and we're just
gonna gloss over it, that Todd's dead. But no,
he actually lets go. Good for him, I guess. Yeah.
And the security guard sees him. And I don't
know how many hours this man's been on, but this
man, he doesn't get paid enough. No. Do you remember
what he says to him? he's like proud of him for
standing up to him yeah yeah and like moose is
just like i'm gonna get in trouble i'm gonna
get in trouble but they're being mean to me they
called me a stalker i'm gonna make them stop
yeah but okay why is anyone calling him a stalker
at this point no one knows the only person that
did was leah yeah and leah's not telling todd
i don't think no leah's not telling todd Don't
know. It's yeah, he's freaking out because they
call him a stalker and that's like his set off
word for the rest of the movie I want to see
the cutting room floor. Mm -hmm because I Guarantee
there was this one time in the end of this Where
he's gotten caught for trespassing and then there
was fallout ramifications and they've just cut
it out Just completely forgot about it. There
has to be so much you there's gotta be so right,
but then again this was edited I don't think
they left anything out. I think they left it
all in. Yeah, also fair. It could go either way
on this one, it feels like. All right, well,
because we have an assault here with Moose, we're
going to take a quick break. Talking about the
fanatic, just had assault, but now it seems like
Moose is finally standing up for himself. He's
going to make them all pay for calling him a
stalker and everything like that. The security
guard just keeps making it worse and worse. And
like, I get it. The security guards kind of like
standing up for him. But I don't know. I feel
like he also has an oath to you see somebody
commit assault. You should probably not reward
them by saying, I'm proud of you. Yeah. So Moose
is the bad guy again. Yes, Moose is definitely
the bad guy. Yeah. Yeah. But we're about to hear
the back off because we cut to Hunter's house.
and the maid he's on the phone with somebody
mm -hmm no he's not on the phone yet that comes
later that comes later she's telling him she's
telling him about the guy she saw in the backyard
he just logs up with his plants went on her well
like she's like freaking out like actually scared
about the fact that some random dude was in your
yard totally legit understood yeah sure and so
he goes over and hugs her comforts her yeah and
like at first it seems kind of like okay cool
this is a little weird but like at least you're
like trying to be nice and then tries to kiss
her and no he does well yeah that's true yeah
yeah yeah because then she says we can't do this
again we can't just i guess that's why they're
divorced huh probably part of it but it's not
like brenda cares she had a date the other night
and left tanner with him yeah so I don't know.
And at first, like, he's like, are you sure it
wasn't the gardener? Like, I think she knows
what the gardener looks like. Yeah. He's like,
you did a really good job. You're doing great.
Yeah. And then the gardener is my favorite part
of this because he's told to be on the lookout
for anything creepy. And in the same breath,
he says, it's raining. I can't do anything. Can
I go home? You're supposed to be on the lookout,
Gardener. What are you doing? Do you see someone
strange? Oh, boy. And like, so again, this goes
back to my point about the yard. The Gardener
is in the yard and did not see the letter. The
maid is the one who finds it eventually. And
just so happens in the bushes, Moose sees her
find it. Don't he's also just there. We didn't
see him. He's just standing there. Yep Yeah,
and he's he's like full on like there like it's
I Don't know how anybody couldn't see him. He's
like standing halfway behind The bright blue
Hawaiian shirt. This is the same outfit from
last time. He jumped over the fence Something
and they just shot this all they go back and
now we'll And we got the maid here. Okay, we
got everybody's here. Let's just let's just do
it again. Okay Yeah. Well, she starts reading
the letter and it sets him off. So Moose gets
like really mad and she's like, whoa, whoa, whoa.
It starts like hitting him. With her feather
duster, I think. Something like that. Yeah. It's
something soft. It's not anything like that's
going to affect him. And he gets so wound up.
He punches her, knocks her back and she falls
and hits the pot of a plant. That's just the
way. But now, don't forget he's autistic. Don't
forget it. You can't forget it. Because he doesn't
understand what's happening. He doesn't know
that she's dead. Yeah. You gotta tell him he's
taught her how to fix her nosebleed. That was
a lot of blood from the nose. Yeah. A lot of
blood, right? Oh yeah, I mean they show it like
it looks like the full bridge is broken, but
that's full -on Todd right there. That's not
the God level of blood. Yeah, right. So remember
to stick some Kleenex up your nose to fix your
nosebleed because I'm autistic and I don't know
that killed you. Right. Autistic people can feel
empathy and sympathy for other people. Right.
At least understand a level of it. Yeah. Yeah.
I don't know. But he gets distracted by some
wind chimes. Autistic. This is his sign. He needs
to go in the house. Yeah. Why does he win an
award for best monster makeup? I don't know.
Hunter didn't do the monster makeup. Right, right.
That's exactly it. Like I guess you're part of
the team that gets it. I don't know. Like you
probably did not do the monster makeup yourself.
Yeah, he has an award for that. Yeah. Moose is
just like eating the jelly. With his finger with
his finger just full on in he's watching home
videos and he brushed his teeth with the toothbrush
What year is this movie set in? I? I don't know.
Why does he have a mini -disc recorder? Well,
like he has an app for the finding the stars.
So it's got to be yeah, well past two thousands
Yeah, it's gotta be well past like when you have
a recorder like that cuz he's snooping and creeping.
Yeah this house like This is just a aside for
me as like someone who does animation and VFX
and stuff. Yeah. They didn't even color match
the shot. The tape recorder is watching. That's
pretty good. They did a good job. There's a reflection.
They added a reflection on the camera, but they
didn't even match the color. I'm like, come on,
guys. Oh my god. And I think what they did, this
is getting really into the weeds. When we zoom
in on the video, they've added like a VHS effect
to it with noise and grain and waves. Yeah, they
didn't do it on the screen replacement. So it's
crystal clear doesn't match and then we cut to
Next question. Did he use the Sun's toothbrush?
Yes, he did. I'm so glad you saw this because
he definitely did that was a Toothbrush. Oh my
god and like I'm looking at this and By the way,
it gets dark. He's still there. He's been here
since it was sunny and Hours and finally a car
pulls up. Like I don't know what they were doing
for so goddamn long I thought they were leaving
for school So like yeah, what was he leaving
for school? And then he just fucked off into
the Sun for a while like what maybe I don't know
what was happening Is the kid a different actor
in this part of the movie? I Don't know why he
just looks different to me. Maybe but I changed.
Okay Yeah, maybe. I wasn't watching the kid well
enough to be like, that's a different actor or
anything. Where's Moose? Where did Moose go when
they got home? Probably somewhere normal like
leaving, right? Yeah, like he had all the time
in the world. There's plenty of like doors to
get out of that he could have snuck out. Where
I wouldn't go? Where wouldn't you go? I wouldn't
go in the kid's room. I wouldn't go in a closet.
I wouldn't go anywhere that he ended up going.
Yeah, he's under the kid's bed. Yep, and grabs
a toy for some reason. Yeah, I kind of thought
it was like to hide his presence, like in case
someone kicked the toy or something, but that's
giving it too much thought, I think. Well, I
think I also gave it a little too much thought.
I think he was like kind of protecting Hunter
from accidentally kicking his foot and hurting
himself. Like he wants to protect him. Because
he's making comments through the house. We didn't
talk like he's looking at the drug. He's looking
at his medicine, his prescriptions. He's like,
you shouldn't have to take this. Right. And then
he reads a script that like, he thinks it's a
terrible script and he's just like, you should
pass on this one. Like just whatever and finding
ways to do this. Yeah. So he was like in the
closet at first when he takes a phone call and
is like talking about the guy, the random guy
that he keeps seeing and how he's like a creep
and everything. And then he's under the bed.
And this is also where things change for me.
They're talking about the kid and he calls him
Danny. Yeah. His name was Tanner, the first half
of the movie. It changes to Danny for the second
half of the movie. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What? You
don't even know your kid's name. And then Hunter
falls asleep on the couch. Next to some IPAs.
It literally is just big letters on a can, IPA.
And Moose goes and sits next to him. After smelling
him and giving him a kiss. Yes, he does give
him a kiss and like takes a picture of him giving
him a kiss. Yeah, which I guess goes to social
media. We learn later. He posts on his social
media. And he even like puts a blanket on him.
and he starts like messing with his face like
his eye and stuff to like see if he's awake and
like his mouth yeah I almost thought we were
supposed to believe that he had drugged him right
but well one of the things was he's taking sleeping
pills so I think he wanted to see like how asleep
he was maybe it makes sense what makes less sense
is why we got a flashback Right. In a weird -ass
flashback. And it was to him as a kid watching
Night of the Living Dead while his mom had a
gentleman caller over. Is that supposed to be
like, is this supposed to be the reason why he
loves movies? Is like he got into this so he
avoided his mom's sex noises? That's what I thought.
Yeah, cause he's what? Yeah, what was it? Night
of the Living Dead? Yeah. Yeah, it's coming to
get you Barbara. like in that scene particularly
so everybody knows what movie it is yeah yeah
i i had no clue why this was shown except for
just like this is why he loves movies oh look
at the guy it's also in black and white now yeah
yep yeah it was black and white yeah another
like break kind of from what was going on crazy
tone shift yep and then he wakes up and realizes
he's in the house with an alarm like there was
an alarm set and somehow his alarm or hunter's
alarm i think it was hunter's alarm okay so he
would have just gotten busted if there was no
alarm or anything uh this was he leaves then
we cut to hunter driving his son somewhere and
i loved this scene so this is the best scene
of the movie i have two i have two kids 14 and
12. And I'm so sad that I've never looked at
them while we're in the car and said, hey, you
want a little biscuit? You wanna listen to Limp
Bizkit? He says exactly at 55 or 53 minutes and
50 seconds, you like a little Limp Bizkit? Sure.
And then continues, I used to listen to this
back in the day. Oh my God, this is so nice.
So nice and he's pumping he's gonna turn the
volume up. Here we go, baby. Oh Just the lip
biscuit break And I don't think Fred even had
the rights to this cuz they only play it for
like 10 seconds They definitely did and it wasn't
like any of the like super famous songs. Like
it's it's no I don't know which one. It's not
I see The truth yeah and the truth's on the soundtrack
like it's yeah um i saw that it was on the soundtrack
god damn oh so good so fucking good um good for
him good for him yeah i don't know why does the
kid look like a different actor i can't find
anything but that's where he he looks different
to me maybe he got a haircut halfway through
or something that wouldn't be surprising It wouldn't
be, like, yeah, it's not like there's anything
that they're doing to keep it, or, um, they didn't
have, like, a consistency manager or anything.
So while he's listening to a little biscuit,
he sees Moose walking in the middle of the road,
and he just revs up the gas. Right. I thought
he was gonna run him over, actually. Yeah, I
was like, well, this is how the movie ends. I'm
okay with that, like, honestly. But it's not.
That's not how the movie ends. That would have
been okay. That would have been just fine with
me. He hops out and starts yelling at him, go
back to where you came from. I'm going to stick
my Remington 12 so far up your ass you're going
to spit bullets and blood for the rest of your
life. Yeah. Don't ever come to my neighborhood
again. Don't ever come to my neighborhood again.
Go back to where you came from. Then we get kind
of like this montage. We get another drawing
right here too, I think. We do get another drawing
here too. With him with blood, right? This one
where he's like in the fetal position with blood
and there's been three drawings in this movie.
They're all really weird. They have nothing to
do with the film except for just kind of like
foreshadowing. It's almost like chapters. I guess.
But I have no clue who's drawing this. Like who
in this universe is creating this except for
just the director? But then we get this montage
and it's like this, not death metal or anything
like that, but like it's just like darker music.
And I put, there's nothing more terrifying than
a man riding a moped. John Travolta's moose on
a moped. And then he goes home and starts destroying
all of his merch and collectibles. Yep. Cause
his moped breaks. His moped crashes. And this
is the final thing. and so he starts like he
burns the vest he burns the memorabilia he has
and some of my favorite parts is he starts hate
watching the hunter dunbar movies going like
you're just a big fake you don't believe in any
of this um at this point too just while i'm watching
this on youtube i think every like 10 15 minutes
i mentioned this earlier there keeps being another
movie pop -up add in the top right corner. You
know how creators can add, hey, watch this one.
Watch this instead, yeah. Every about like 10
or 15 minutes I've been getting these, Quiver
doesn't want me to finish this movie. Well, there's
a part for me too that Plex didn't want me to
finish this movie. Leah shows up now. Mm -hmm.
And starts fussing about the social media thing.
She calls herself his BBF. I want to know what
that means. Do we know what that means? Best
buddies forever? I was like, I must've, surely
she meant BFF, which is a thing people know.
He said BFF too. Yeah. I was like, I don't, they
never told us, let's just go with best buddies
forever. Because again, this is more time than
anyone making this movie thought about that line.
It just, I want it to be that Fred Durst was
just like writing this and he's just like, yeah,
it's BFF. And like, everybody's just like, Fred,
it's BFF. And he goes, don't care, BFF. He pushes
her. Yes. and blocks her on all social media
because she's mean yes don't forget he's autistic
because they want to remind us yes she's mean
um where does he go oh he kicks her out slams
the door his apartment's super nice by the way
it really is like it's gotta be yeah in la yeah
like it's got to be like rent controlled or something
like that like mother died left it to him or
something again way too much thought into this
movie that definitely didn't need to have this
much thought into So, the chain of events that's
happened so far. He shows up at this guy's house,
inappropriate. Did shoot away, that's fine. Chokes
the guy who's been mean to him the whole time.
Not the best way to handle it, but that's fine.
He's proud of him for standing up for him. Yep.
Yep. Kills the maid. Not great. No justification
for that. Nope. But sneaking back into the guy's
house and tying him to the bed and putting a
gag in his mouth is such a Escalation I thought
I was watching a different movie all of a sudden
it all of a sudden became a snuff film for a
little for a second or two there yeah, and Even
more so like He wakes up and he's tied to the
bed. He's got it's Kleenex in his mouth, by the
way Yeah, yeah, that's the gag and he just like
spits it out and it's okay. I can talk now Are
they jump ropes? They might be jump ropes. Yeah.
It would make sense. Yeah. Either jump ropes
or like, I was thinking like those elastic bands
that you can stretch and attach to one another
that you like put on like your car or holding
down like suitcases kind of thing. But yeah.
You want to tell where Moose is at this moment?
Yes. When Hunter wakes up? Moose is in the fetal
position on the ground with a bunch of blood
around his head. like, Hunter's looking over
the bed and sees it and is just like, oh my god,
son of a bitch, son of a bitch. And then Moose
starts laughing, gets up and he goes, you've
been jigsawed, game over! It runs off. It was
catch up. It was catch up. And then, you gotta
go. Yeah, it just becomes this weird medley of
his horror movie knowledge for five movements.
Because he leaves, comes back dressed up like...
is it mike myers or jason jason yeah because
it bugged me it was he was jason holding a knife
and like hunter starts freaking out because he
thinks this guy is definitely going to kill me
and he starts stabbing him but it's a fake knife
he accidentally cuts him three times and yeah
he's actually bleeding um so i wonder if it's
a real knife and he was just kind of he was trying
to pull his stabs maybe That could be. Something
happened. It's either a fake knife an accidently
cut or it's a real knife and accidently cut.
But he gets cut. Well, and he's like so excited.
He's like, I faked out Hunter Dunbar. Oh, my
God. You were great, too. You are even better
than Jamie Lee Curtis. That pissed me off. He
wanted to do a horror thing. Look how much I
know. But like, it's Jamie Lee Curtis. That's
the Halloween movies, not the Friday the 13th
movies. Yeah, so wrong. Oh, my God. You know,
like in Freaky Friday, you did better than her.
Yeah, right. Everything everywhere all at once,
you know? Who do you think got that wrong? Fred,
Dave, or John? My money's on John, actually.
Yeah. He just got it wrong in improv, and they're
just like, nah, we like this. This has been a
good scene. Let's just leave the camera rolling.
This is great. They don't understand how special
interests work. Yeah, right. There's no way this
is his special interest and he got that wrong.
There's no way he got that wrong, no. I also
love that he does like the fake gas from Reservoir
Dogs. Yeah. And like says, Mr. Blonde, Mr. Blonde.
Which is not a horror movie. No, it's not. And
he's not supposed to have been in it. Nope. Yeah.
So it's just wanted to. act out reservoir dogs
and maybe that he was going to kill him with
gas? Yeah. And like, you have him tied. Do misery.
Yeah. That's a good choice, like. And then the
evil dead, or whatever, yeah, return of the evil
dead, whatever. No, it was not the living dead.
Living dead, yeah. Yeah. So it's doing the barber
line from earlier? Yep. And then he has that
flashback again to like being in the store with
the spotlight. on him and it's like finally like
in this flashback that didn't ever happen hunter's
like come on moose i'll sign whatever kind of
thing yeah then we come back to the scene with
him being tied to the bed and i was so confused
at this point because when they come back from
it we've got fantasy lines like on the side of
the screen like now we're in a fish eye There's
a purple haze over everything. Yes. So I was
like, okay, I guess we're gonna his fantasy now
I don't write like I couldn't tell if it was
real or not It was like this rose tinted kind
of thing. Like I thought I thought was more rose
but yeah, like it was it was completely tinted
and Basically easy. Yeah. Yeah, he's trying to
like talk him through like this visualization
and if you let me go we'll go to We'll go get
changed out of our bloody clothes. Mm -hmm We'll
go to one of those famous places and he's like,
Mousseau and Frank's Mousseau and Frank's. Great.
Let's go. Let's get ice cream. Chocolate ice
cream. No strawberry. Strawberry. Yes. Strawberry
ice cream. And then we're going to come back
here, be two buddies. We'll watch my action flicks.
It'll be great. It'll be absolutely great. And
this is enough for Mousse. Mousse is visualizing
it. He feels it. Yeah. Gunshots one of his hands.
Mm -hmm And then so like Hunter starts reaching
for the other hand great He's free and then he
head butts him and like breaks the rose tint
and then grabs the shotgun That was just right
on his headboard. Yeah, right in his headboard
and he is point -blank And he misses he hits
just his fingers. It like just blows off his
fingers I'm like, you're you're point blank.
How do you miss that? Perhaps a Bowie knife.
Yep. Crazy knife to keep by your bedside. Just
hanging out there. Yeah. And like chases after
Moose, who's like crying and everything like
that. He kicks him down the stairs. He's crawling
away and then he somehow has the shotgun again
with more bullets. Who is the villain right now?
Or is there no villain? Is that the point? I
think because we see. No villain, right? He's
crawling towards the stairs, and then Hunter
comes and kicks him down the stairs. But they've
got that menacing villain shot of him back lit.
Yeah, I would say that Hunter's probably the
villain, but both of them are in the wrong. Yeah,
for sure. Yeah, so it's not like we're really
cheering for either of them at this point. Which
is good, because Hunter proceeds to shoot Moose
in the chest point blank two or three times.
He shoots him once, and then he shoots next to
his head. He shoots next to his head, right,
exactly. Yeah. Yeah, which I don't understand
how he's alive still. And then he takes the knife
and stabs him in the eye. In the eye, which is
gnarly. Yeah, that's a place. That's a crazy...
I've never been, thankfully, never been in a
situation where I had to defend myself from a
home invader like this. But I just can't imagine...
That being where you go right with them with
the knife You've got a lot of places to choose
from and you chose the eye. He's on the ground
prone Yeah, and not only did you choose the eye,
but you didn't kill him right left him alive
And not only that helped him up and let him out
the door and he's in shock I think he like falls
back and can't believe what he just did I guess
but still so many tonal shifts in this yeah,
and this is an editor pacing. This is just This
is just what it is. Yeah, this is just a script.
Yeah. At this point. Oh my god. I think I actually
texted you, Mike, and I was like, did he just
stab him in the eye and let him go outside? Like,
the ramifications. And I want to know, like,
how close he is to Hollywood Boulevard because
he walks all the way to Hollywood Boulevard.
I can't imagine, like, that close. I don't have
the star home finder on my app, but. i feel like
none of the stars actually live close to hollywood
boulevard it feels like it's away from everything
but he's gonna walk there he's gonna walk there
and bleed on the stars uh and then leah somehow
in this huge city finds him yeah and uh he's
covered in blood yeah he's covered in blood and
like people originally thought like he was um
dressed up like this was his costume and everything
and like he was a street performer and stuff
and Leah helps him and then is like talking about
like how it's the it's the sum up of the movie
and how Hunter's an actor and she doesn't feel
for him she feels for Gloria the maid and it
just shows her dead body that never got found
until now so it must have been I don't know why
I keep trying to figure this out the timeline
it must have just been like a couple days right
at least one day because someone would have found
her you would think right in the middle of the
yard right you would think and especially like
if that's a if that's where the letter was found
you think people would be looking for that I
don't I guess he didn't call the police or anything
to say this letter was found on my property yeah
so I don't know who found her but someone did
and caught it in because he's getting arrested
and that's the end of the movie and that's the
end of the movie and that's when Plex decided
they wanted me to watch something different because
they went to the title screen again like not
the like credits or anything like that it went
to the play this movie oh my god so they just
decided that was done so that's the fanatic just
as abruptly as the movie ended that yeah that's
fanatic yeah right What did I write down for
that part? I just wrote, like, I feel like this
is a very easy case to settle. Like, it'd be
very easy to explain what had happened. Right.
That he didn't do it. We're just supposed to
assume he went to jail. Yeah. And there's just
no way. I feel like this is totally, this guy,
he said his name was Moose. Mm -hmm. And, like,
You still have even though Even though you cut
through the ones on your body and you like untied
the other ones There's still the ropes hanging
there because fingers are still in the bedroom.
That's true. I didn't even think about that.
Yeah, yeah, and Leah got him help like he was
in the hospital and stuff like that like people
know he's there probably yeah, I Think this is
pretty easy. They want you to feel like oh hunter
went to jail but like There's no way in real
life he would have. Right, yeah. And he's a movie
star. Like, they're still letting bald ones do
things. Right? Yeah. Oh my gosh. That's fanatic.
That's fanatic. So let's go back. I'm less mad
at you. Okay. Over this. Because I feel like
there was a possibility of a good movie in here
somewhere. Like, there's good bones in it. You
don't see them. Yeah. But I can see how it could
have been one. Like, I thought it'd be more interesting
if Devin Sawa was himself. Yeah. OK. Like a Nick
Cage thing. Like, at least that gives it something.
You have it. And then drop the autism part. Yes.
That definitely. Yeah. Yeah. When I say there's
good bones, there's a lot of stuff between there
and the bones. This is not good. We're at the
surface and the bones are on the Titanic, but
you could get there if you really chose to. I'm
with you on that and the fact that I think there
could have been a good story here because it's
been done before and it's been done well before.
It's Cape Fear, right? It's Cape Fear. I thought
of Prisoners a lot while watching this. Like
it felt a little like that where they were, you
know, trying to make it a little like that. Even
Misery, you mentioned earlier. Yeah. Yeah. And
that's exactly it. Yeah. So there's, there's
movies that have done this before that have done
it well. They weren't written by Fred Durst.
Yeah. But those movies also don't have a scene
where they say you want a little Limp Bizkit.
So, on the scale, which one's really better,
truly? That's true, good point. Maybe Misery
should have had that. I don't even think Limp
Bizkit was a thing when Misery was around. I
don't even know if Fred Des was born when that
movie came out. Seriously. That would have been
funny, though. I know that you're my favorite
writer from the series. You want a little Limp
Bizkit? Stephen King, big fan. Big fan of Limp
Bizkit. Blair out. Probably more of a slipknot
guy. Yeah. After his leg is broken and he's like
screaming, she blares it out with a little bada
-da -ba -da -ba -da -ba -da -da. Did it all for
the nookie, man. Oh, my God. That's great. So
what's your ranking? Where are you at? Rating?
I don't know. I think I'm giving it the Mitchell
zero. I think I'm at .5 out of five. Because
like you said, there were decent bones there.
You don't see them often, but there were some
things that I liked about it. I would give it
two sequined vests out of ten. Two sequined vests
out of ten. Okay. Okay. Yeah. It's not great.
I think the... Just that last scene, I think
the stunts were done well enough. That's basically
what the whole thing is riding on. I did okay
with that until he lets him go. That's the part
where I'm just like, okay, what? Besides the
fact that he's point blank with the shotgun and
misses him, the fingers coming off was actually
pretty decent looking. The set down the stairs.
And then the knife in the eye. Is it worth the
hour and 10 minutes to get there? No, no, not
at all. I can show you the last five minutes
of that movie and you'd be like, OK, cool. I'm
good. Like, I think I know exactly what happened.
But yeah, that's. Yeah, I'm giving it point five
out of five. I'm trying to think of what I was
going to give it unsigned memorabilia. Yeah,
like it. All this because he wanted an autograph.
I really... I don't know. Maybe it's just me.
I've never been a celebrity, so nobody's wanted
my signature. Yeah. I would have signed something.
I can't do it. Like, I can't approach somebody.
You know, I've seen celebrities on the wall.
I just... I can't do it. I mean, I guess, like,
at a book signing maybe, but... Yeah, when they're
expecting, like, to sign something. Like, I got...
One of my favorite football players I got a signature
from because he did a signing. I would not have
sent anything to him. You know, I wouldn't have
shown up at his house. Definitely not. But like,
I would have signed something and saw if he went
away. Because I think he probably would have.
He finally got what he wanted. He can live in
blissful ignorance that he got his signature.
He got his autograph. Yeah. And, you know, the
band is off, so we can't avoid it. And autistic
and neurodivergent people are not a monolith.
And I understand that not everyone's the same,
but it just feels so far out of left field, the
way they presented someone with the diagnosis.
Yeah, I agree. Yeah. Yeah. Well, it could have
worked if it was toned down a lot. Because I
think a character like this would need I'm not
saying autism or anything like that, but something
like to make them this way of obsessed with this
idea. Not going to murder people, obviously,
that's not what I'm saying, but that they would
be obsessed with getting the signature or their
fascination or their hyper -focus kind of thing.
Yeah, we needed a Stan. Yeah, we needed a Stan.
It all comes back to Stan. Uh, yeah, I, um, I'm
mad at myself for watching that. I'll be honest.
I don't know how - I'm mad we can't watch Swim
Fan. I'm mad we can't watch Swim Fan. And like
I said, it was Rune, a childhood favorite month.
Um, that was not a childhood favorite. I had
never watched Swim Fan growing up or anything
like that. But Erika Christensen? Yeah. That's
the reason why I wanted to watch that one. Let's
call it a miss. Fair enough. Yeah. Her and perfect
score. Yes, that was probably my first celebrity
crush at that moment. Nice. Yeah. So yeah, another
movie about stalkers. We're headed into spoopy
season. No, close though. Well, we're headed
into it. And I'm excited because we got some
bangers, man. We got some bangers. It's gonna
be something, let me tell ya. Oh man. I am very
excited. All I can picture is the Bambi movie
cover. Yeah. The funny thing is, Bambi's not
bad enough. Yeah. Pretty gnarly. Oh my god. We
have some fun ones coming up. For spoopy season
and everything like that. Do you have any last
thoughts on the fanatic before we close up? I
do not. I wish I could think of a joke. Use the
