Mikey. And I'm your Horror Virgin Todd, which

2:12

means I don't like watching scary movies, but

2:14

you guys make me watch them. And this

2:16

week, we have a very special guest, Shondalia!

2:18

Shondalia! Shondalia

2:22

here! Hi! Hi! Hey,

2:25

welcome! So, Paige, you

2:28

know Shondalia personally. Yes, yes I

2:30

do. So, explain how

2:32

this came about. Standup, yes.

2:35

But also, you know, it is

2:37

Black History Month. We're doing the blackening and a bunch

2:40

of other movies this month. And we

2:42

are white, so sometimes we miss things.

2:44

So we have to make sure that

2:46

we don't miss things. I'm so glad

2:48

we have you for this episode and

2:50

like not Blade 2. Like last week,

2:52

I got Blade 2 jokes. I

2:55

did not take any notes for this movie. I

2:57

plan on just sitting over here and nodding and

2:59

then like, I like that movie. Mikey and I

3:01

are gonna sit our asses down and listen. That's

3:03

what we're gonna do this episode. You

3:06

just call me Officer White because the

3:08

vibe that I put off and I'm

3:10

okay with that, you know? He's like, I

3:12

know not to come to the cookout guy. I

3:16

will have no artist. I know this. I

3:19

was invited, but I did not do

3:21

it. He would be honored for the

3:23

invite, though. Now, I do like spades. I

3:26

played a lot of spades in college. You

3:28

better play spades. I just picture

3:30

both of their notes that just say, lift

3:32

every voice and sing, question mark. I

3:37

wrote one note and it just said,

3:39

don't offend anyone. And then it was

3:41

exclamation point. Good luck to myself. You

3:43

guys, do not let the white

3:45

side come and interfere. I

3:49

just have one question. What's Juneteenth? I

3:56

wrote that one joke. Listen, but to be

3:58

fair, I did not grow up. I grew

4:00

up celebrating no Juneteenth. I'm from Michigan, so

4:02

we didn't celebrate Juneteenth up there. It is

4:04

pretty racist still up there. Well, I feel

4:06

like it's really taken off the last, like,

4:08

10 years, Juneteenth has. Oh,

4:11

yeah, like, it's something that in Nashville now,

4:14

but when I grew up in Nashville, it

4:16

was not. But that's the South, so I

4:18

don't know. I'd be like, the South was

4:20

forced to celebrate this at least 10 years

4:22

ago. Yeah. I don't know before or outside

4:24

of where I live. Oh, I assume sort

4:26

of everyone else was celebrating it the whole

4:28

time, if we just, like, got the word.

4:30

No, definitely not. They just, I

4:33

think, wasn't they? They

4:35

just nationally recognized it. Yeah,

4:37

it's a national holiday last year. Yeah.

4:40

Yeah, so I just started being like, oh,

4:42

OK, good. I got another day off and

4:44

I can do some other stuff. But it

4:47

was like for people in Texas. So,

4:50

you know what I mean? Originally, it was a Texas

4:53

holiday. Yeah, it was a Texas holiday. You

4:55

know, you always take a Texas. You take

4:57

a Texas thing with a grain of salt.

4:59

I mean, I don't want to offend Texans,

5:01

but like a broken clock, you know, it's

5:03

right twice a day. But usually if something's

5:06

like, we do this in Texas and nowhere

5:08

else, you're like, that's extremely offensive and bad.

5:14

It's so true, like, 90, 90 percent of

5:16

the things there. You're

5:18

like, wait, what? If you would

5:20

ask me where Juneteenth started, I

5:22

wouldn't say Texas. Like, I would never

5:25

have said that. Well, that's the whole point

5:27

of the holiday is because. Yeah. Yeah, yeah,

5:29

yeah. It's because they did not know they

5:31

were free because Texas didn't tell them, which

5:33

is that sounds like Texas.

5:35

Yeah, they were still capitalizing off that

5:38

labor, baby. Yeah,

5:40

they're like, no, no, no, you're good. That's

5:42

the Texas that I'm used to. Yes, yes.

5:44

But I mean, Texas starting it as a

5:46

holiday, I guess is what I was saying.

5:49

Oh, yeah. Yeah. I'm coming to Texas today

5:51

and I hope they're better at this than

5:53

Australia. Australia was. Yeah. Wait, what

5:55

did I show all with their indigenous people?

5:57

Oh, no, no, no. Just we made. fun

6:00

of Australia one time and they've never let

6:02

us forget it. Yeah. Oh no no no no

6:04

no no no no it's not Australia, cut that

6:06

out. I hope they take it better than that

6:09

town that built Titanic. Those people took that very...

6:11

I made fun of the town that made

6:13

that built Titanic and I said maybe if

6:15

you guys built that ship better we wouldn't

6:17

be having this conversation and they

6:20

like posted a lot in our facebook

6:22

group and I refused to apologize because

6:24

you know all those people died

6:27

because of them you know like...

6:29

He's like I still stand by it.

6:33

I have learned nothing. I'm a double triple down.

6:37

I am only here so I don't get fined.

6:41

What a coincidence they're like talking about

6:44

succeeding... not succeeding. Not succeeding. Not

6:47

succeeding. Good lord. Oh

6:52

Texas. Yeah it's been a dark week for

6:54

Texas but let's talk about this movie The

6:57

Blackening. Speaking of The Blackening and Juneteenth we

6:59

originally planned to do this in June when

7:01

it came out because it came out for

7:03

Juneteenth and I had Instagram to Wayne because

7:06

I'd only met him once or twice but

7:08

I was like hey it's worth you know

7:10

a message to see if he wants to

7:12

come on to do it and literally the

7:14

day after I sent the message WGA

7:17

and SAG were like no promotion and

7:19

I was like oh shit like damn

7:21

it. Oh wow. And it applied to

7:23

podcasts too especially film review podcasts so

7:26

we were like I don't want to

7:28

fuck anything up for anybody so we like

7:31

we held off on doing it. Okay.

7:33

So I'm really glad we're getting it

7:35

to it now though because I watched

7:37

it back in June and rewatching it

7:39

today I was like this movie's hilarious.

7:41

It's so funny. It is so funny.

7:43

It's so black. Dwayne's my favorite though

7:45

by far like he is just...

7:47

Yeah. I felt like every like

7:49

really funny line was like given

7:51

to him. I mean he's the

7:53

writer. Nailed it. He made sure

7:56

he was funny. Yeah. He's a stand-up

7:58

you know he's a stand-up. In

8:00

addition to being a writer, I was

8:02

actually in a commercial with him. That's

8:04

how I met him. Oh, awesome. And

8:06

we were in a, what was it?

8:08

A DSW commercial years ago with Mindy

8:10

Kaling. Yes. And that's how I

8:12

met him. And he actually was

8:14

a playing a straight guy in that. He was

8:16

hitting on me. So

8:19

it was pretty cool. So he's a great actor.

8:21

Yeah, that's it. Yeah, he's all about, I

8:23

was saying to Larry's, cause you know, he speaks

8:25

about with this movie how he kind of goes

8:28

against those tropes and he likes to

8:30

push those boundaries and everything. And he definitely,

8:32

he was very convincing and

8:34

with me. And I think he's

8:36

a great actor and a great writer.

8:39

I mean, he's great in this. And I did

8:41

think it was very, very funny. I enjoyed it.

8:44

I sort of don't like horror movies. I

8:46

don't like being scared, but like I usually

8:48

really like all the horror comedies we do.

8:51

And I really, I really liked this one.

8:53

Although there are some like jump scares that

8:55

still got me because they like come out

8:57

of nowhere. I was like, no! It drove

8:59

me crazy. No, no. He

9:01

said no. It

9:04

was funny. It wasn't scary. Come on, Todd.

9:06

It was definitely funny. It kind of

9:08

reminds me of a new school, scary

9:10

movie. Yeah. Like, yeah, it kind of

9:12

reminded me, except it was much more

9:14

grounded. I was gonna say it's a little

9:16

more serious than what I've seen in those movies.

9:19

But they look like hyper silly. This is more

9:21

grounded. They are like ridiculously, like as

9:23

far as you can go extreme.

9:26

And this one was like very grounded. Yeah, I did.

9:28

I came, I went in blind. I saw the trailer and everything,

9:30

but I was like, I'm not gonna watch it till we do

9:32

it or anything and I don't wanna read anything about it. Same.

9:35

So I watched it and then I was really hoping

9:37

because like the first like 15 minutes, I was like,

9:39

oh my God, this is like hard Jumanji. And I

9:41

was like, I thought I was gonna keep going that

9:43

way. And then I was like, I

9:45

kind of wish it was more like Jumanji but

9:47

also weird, you know? But like, I really liked

9:49

it. I was like, oh, it's all real. Okay,

9:52

it's plausible. Yeah, like you thought it was like

9:54

real. I thought it was like Jumanji magic. I

9:56

feel like a dumbass. I'm just gonna admit that to

9:58

the fellow people here. I was

10:01

like the board game shut the doors

10:03

and turn the lights off right exactly

10:06

Like and I mean, I don't know. I don't want

10:08

to jump page. You keep me in line, baby Because

10:10

you know, I'll just start going no First

10:13

thoughts are kind of fair game and we will

10:15

go through the plot after you're like, okay I'm

10:17

like, yeah, don't let me get to running off We

10:20

don't have pretty much every scene as we go through the

10:22

plot plot Okay, but yeah, I was just thinking when

10:24

he just think he when he said you mind G

10:26

I was just thinking like oh, yeah, as soon as

10:28

I saw that game, I was like, yeah There's no

10:31

way I would have played that fucking game The

10:35

Ouija board and you're playing with this He

10:41

would play he's like oh I played with Ouija board

10:43

I'm like, okay I remember when I was a kid

10:45

and people would say that shit. I used to be

10:47

like, okay, they can't they need to leave Yeah, I

10:49

would get last night was like the killers

10:52

like Robin Williams who played the hunter and

10:54

Jumanji That's what it's like. They have to

10:56

finish the game to get out

10:58

and I was like, man I was very wrong about

11:00

what was happening That

11:05

might be the perfect metaphor for it though

11:10

Yeah, I really really enjoyed

11:12

it and you know knowing that Dwayne wrote

11:14

it going in I was like I know

11:17

this is gonna be funny cuz like as

11:19

a standup Dwayne is hilarious. He's so funny

11:21

So funny and also he did it as

11:23

a sketch Yeah, and

11:25

some on comedy Central something at one point So

11:28

it started as like a I think a second

11:30

city sketch. Don't don't quote me I think it

11:32

was a second city sketch and then it moved

11:34

on to yeah, comedy Central Yeah, I want to

11:36

say it was like a short At

11:39

one point because I remember them running it but

11:41

it's it was basically the scene Almost

11:44

like a different version of like the board

11:46

game scene of them deciding who was the

11:48

blackest and who dies first Yep, and who

11:50

died first? Yep, and I think that's where

11:52

the idea kind of spawned out of is

11:54

basically that one conversation Within

11:56

The World of a Horror movie. How Do

11:58

you then extrapolate that out to? The whole

12:01

movie and one of my favorite things is

12:03

aside from Oregon and shown in the beginning.

12:05

Everyone survive. Like

12:08

the opposite of the trailer when

12:10

I get you like married man

12:12

about. What

12:15

movie did some Zola? You

12:17

suffer a salvo, the air

12:20

or the leg. Of

12:22

lamb. Glad he gets slapped a shit load

12:24

like yeah, He does get slapped multiple

12:27

directly at so why me? He's having

12:29

a rough night like ever want? even.

12:31

Glinted. Slabs of Jazz it all away.

12:33

all of it over to him it was

12:35

a mother has remained. Fowler who plays Clifton

12:37

also area Stand up So like very funny

12:40

Santa Maria. There was a lot of talent

12:42

going into this movie is I was fairly

12:44

confident we'll get a be amazing and then

12:46

why was I was like that's exactly as

12:49

great as I expected It didn't get that,

12:51

I don't care and I knew it would

12:53

be good yeah as a means of and

12:55

me good because every I knew the words

12:58

of pretty much everyone in there and. I'm

13:00

my oldest is but we find yes and

13:02

I want another loon. Yeah, one day

13:04

they avoided a really com and

13:06

a horror mistake especially with this kind

13:08

of a horror movies where you got

13:11

a whole group of people are and

13:13

you're trying to track and follow

13:15

multiple stories where they made their cast

13:17

diverse and unique enough and three dimensional

13:20

for each person that you could easily

13:22

track and follow each person and their

13:24

motivations. Without. Confusing one

13:27

person for another or getting lost of

13:29

who's who are, who wants what? yeah

13:31

it's movie did a great job of

13:33

establishing the interpersonal relationships to. We just

13:36

did the Best Man over on Romancing

13:38

the Pod and they are even shades

13:40

of that in this movie of like

13:42

Nnamdi being a cheater. They all know

13:44

each other gal age as the nerdy

13:47

one who's kind of out to get

13:49

all and like hi, this is basically

13:51

a horror The Best Man and I'm

13:53

here says. I thought about

13:56

the madman like listen

13:58

below was out. get them

14:00

in this movie. I have

14:02

to say the biggest laugh for me was when

14:04

Clifton looked over his shoulder after they like voted

14:06

him the blackest and told him to go die

14:09

and he said all lives matter at them. I

14:11

was like, oh, that's hilarious. It was so fucking

14:13

funny, man. Okay,

14:18

so it lands big moments like that

14:20

that are like very funny, but also

14:22

sometimes someone will be like, whoa, what

14:25

was that? And they'll be like, was

14:27

it a bear? Was it a raccoon? Yeah,

14:29

like they'll do shit like that. That's like

14:31

in the background. Like you don't really hear

14:34

it necessarily. It's just like they're landing

14:36

these very big and very silly fun,

14:38

small moments. It just like it was

14:40

really, really nice. Yeah,

14:42

it goes very broad for a lot

14:45

of those big laughs so that it's

14:47

accessible for everybody. Yeah. But it also

14:49

it doesn't shy away from more specific

14:52

laughs and specific jokes that require you

14:54

to know your black history.

14:56

Yeah, just have black friends before

14:58

you go see this movie at

15:00

a minimum. Yeah, like I can't

15:02

imagine people in the theater being

15:04

like, what's spades? It's

15:09

like a central plot point. There

15:11

are people who don't know what spades is. I

15:13

was just about to say, because Mikey, you grew up playing spades,

15:15

right? Yeah, yeah. I played it before.

15:17

Who doesn't know what spades is? It's

15:19

just hearts, but with another suit. Yeah.

15:22

What did you play spades with, Mikey?

15:24

All my guy friends in college. Yeah.

15:27

See? Were they black? They

15:29

were. All of them were. Yeah, it was a lot of

15:31

them black. Yeah.

15:33

Found it. Mikey was like, oh,

15:35

I've been around a lot of black people. I

15:39

got an A in cultural competency. It's fun.

15:41

Yeah. I mean, whatever. I'll

15:47

admit this. I have never

15:49

played spades. Really? I

15:51

know. I know. I spent all

15:54

day in Oakland today doing hometown

15:56

shit. I've never played spades. Wow.

15:59

Even. Somebody invite Paige.

16:02

I know. She'd be honored, but she won't come because

16:04

she knows. She won't come. Okay, but that is kind

16:06

of what it is. Because

16:08

like I've been around it being played, and

16:10

I'm like, I don't know how to play

16:13

this. I'm not going to jump in if

16:15

I don't know. And black

16:17

people get aggressive if you don't know how to

16:19

play. Yeah, well, I mean, you want to have

16:21

a fun game. You don't want to pause. I'm

16:23

also bad at math. So I'm

16:26

like, I just watch. And I'm like, Oh,

16:28

we're going to get mad. I just got

16:30

mad at somebody at a holiday party for

16:32

messing up his face. Like, we're going to

16:34

get upset. I don't keep the score. I

16:36

just played the psychological game. You know what I'm

16:38

saying? We get mad at it. Monopoly.

16:41

I stopped playing Monopoly at Family

16:43

Functions. Same.

16:46

Same. I just

16:48

stopped because it just turns into aggression. I'm like, Y'all,

16:50

I ain't got time to be mad at you and

16:52

stop coming over for a couple of years. You're

16:54

like flipping the boards, standing up like you're so funny.

16:58

I'm like, you know what? We're leaving. We're

17:00

leaving. My dad is in

17:02

real estate or was for a long time. So

17:04

he just like runs the board at Monopoly and

17:06

it is no fun at all. Oh, my God. It's

17:10

not a game we play as a family. No.

17:13

Has your dad told you that

17:15

he's better at Monopoly because he's

17:17

in real estate? Because that's a

17:19

ridiculous comedic premise that I'm here

17:21

for. That is

17:23

wildly funny. And I can definitely

17:25

see your dad saying that. No, he

17:27

just is good at Monopoly. And I

17:29

assume that's why. I think he's good

17:31

at other things that make him good at Monopoly.

17:35

Monopoly is not a game that is

17:37

made better because you're a real estate

17:39

guy. I see him pulling off some

17:41

good trades. That's what I see. But

17:43

also I'm bad at Monopoly. So it is

17:45

a mystery to me. OK. I

17:48

don't need a license to know that Boardwalk is

17:50

the one you want. You know what I'm saying?

17:52

Sure. But I feel like

17:55

oh. You got to stay with the oranges, man.

17:57

Those are like the high volume areas. Listen. I'm

18:00

so frustrated by Monopoly because so

18:02

much of it is luck as

18:04

well as skill and I

18:06

refuse to play as an adult. I'm like, I don't

18:08

need this negativity in my life. All my people are

18:10

good at Monopoly because I used to take real estate

18:13

photos so... Yeah, I mean,

18:15

hey, that makes sense. That makes sense. I'd

18:17

be good at Monopoly but let me rob the bank.

18:19

I feel like that's what I'd be good at. I'd

18:21

be good at life if they'd let me

18:24

rob the bank, Paige. She's like, only

18:26

if I get to commit crime.

18:28

I'm good at Monopoly because I served on

18:30

a battleship so I use that as my

18:32

team and I wear a top hat. I

18:35

always go top hat for fashion. I

18:38

don't even think you have snakes or

18:40

ladders, Mikey. Oh my gosh. I

18:42

want to fuck up some shoots and ladders. Oh,

18:44

it's shoots and ladders. No, it's either one.

18:46

It's snakes or shoots. Okay.

18:48

I have diabetes. I'm amazing

18:50

at Candyland. Oh,

18:53

that tracks. That tracks. Mikey, do

18:55

you really have diabetes? No, it's

18:57

a joke. This is what we're

18:59

here for, right? And speaking of

19:01

diabetes, that's how it starts, right?

19:03

It's Candyland. With

19:06

the Kool-Aid. I thought that's what you were talking about. Oh,

19:08

no. We'll get to the Kool-Aid in like

19:10

two seconds. I thought that's what we were

19:12

talking about. Calm down, Jim Jones. No,

19:16

in this movie, Todd... My bad. My bad.

19:18

You're right. Anyway... I thought it

19:20

was Kool-Aid.

19:22

Kool-Aid with a whole bag

19:24

of sugar at all caps in it. Okay.

19:28

So the movie opens with a tagline that

19:31

says, the following is based on true events

19:33

that never happened. Great. Out of the gate,

19:35

Fun. Out of the gate. Okay.

19:37

I did write in my notes when I

19:39

saw that, this better be good after that.

19:41

And it was. Of course. But like that

19:43

is a like very cheeky way to

19:46

start a movie. Yes. Do you often

19:48

threaten the movies on your notes? Yes.

19:51

I know you're making a joke, but also

19:54

a very emphatic, yes, I do. This movie

19:56

better be good after that. I do. I

19:58

do. I do.

20:00

Yeah. I constantly do that where if a movie

20:02

does anything to slight me I make

20:05

note of it But in this and maybe it

20:07

was because I had already seen it once it

20:09

didn't bother me at all I was like what

20:11

a great way to kind of throw shade at

20:13

all the movies that are like It's a true

20:15

story and to be like no Exactly.

20:18

That's why I liked it, but it's very cheeky

20:20

and if it's like cheeky up front and

20:23

doesn't deliver It's like the payoff is not

20:25

there. Yeah, but I mean this movie crushes

20:27

it. It delivers Yeah, it does so we

20:29

open on a cabin in the woods where we

20:31

meet Morgan and her boyfriend Sean played

20:33

by Jay Pharaoh And they are

20:35

getting ready for all of the rest

20:37

of their college friends to arrive for

20:39

their Juneteenth weekend Getaway

20:42

now, this is the first kind of

20:44

scare setup and they do set up

20:46

tonally earned Jumpscares, I would

20:48

say because we have Morgan setting up alone.

20:51

We hear the door open. We think

20:53

she's alone We don't know Jay Pharaoh is also there

20:55

and she tries to like sound threatening

20:57

I love you test out a few where

21:00

she's like I've got a gun She left

21:02

a good gun or like oh, she's like no,

21:04

it's to DMX Fantastic,

21:07

but it turns out to be her

21:09

boyfriend and she does almost hit him

21:11

like and almost spill her wine But

21:14

they hear a noise and hear a

21:17

door open So they walk to the

21:19

green or the game room the game

21:21

room green door It's a game room

21:23

that previously was not open This

21:26

is where we first see the

21:29

board game the blackening. It is

21:31

extremely racist and uses very Obvious

21:34

racist imagery. Yeah the blackface.

21:36

Yeah And

21:40

it got that music that You know

21:43

like that hillbilly so yeah, I was

21:45

like, oh my god, it's racist

21:47

Juman Gee, what a concept? Yeah It's

21:50

like black exploitation film

21:53

me type of a Game,

21:55

that's basically what it is. It's hilarious.

21:57

Yeah, but then his voice is not

22:00

his voice is not, which I do think

22:02

on a second watch, it's

22:04

very clear who the voice is and

22:06

it sounds very familiar, but

22:08

it is definitely like thinking about

22:10

where people are when things are

22:12

happening, it's two different people because

22:15

it's while they're watching it. Anyway, so

22:18

I think they do a great job

22:20

with the game of immediately signifying just

22:22

visually, it's bad news. And

22:25

then everyone who sees it is

22:27

like, oh no, no. I'm

22:30

like, I would not play this game. And

22:33

I feel like they started that way with

22:35

her like, yeah, no. He's

22:37

taking photos to cancel them

22:39

online, hilarious. Yes. And

22:42

she's like, air drive me, air drive me. You

22:44

know, like. Who was it, Milton or

22:46

Bradley? Who did this? Right. Who did

22:48

this? Who's responsible, I'll cancel them both.

22:51

Yes, it was definitely that. Definitely Milton.

22:53

It's gotta be Milton, right? Bradley's not

22:55

that kind of guy. But they

22:57

end up playing because the game

22:59

seems to come alive and ask

23:01

them to pick a card seemingly

23:03

without them turning it on, without

23:05

anything plugged into it. This

23:07

is probably why Mikey thought it was magic. I would assume.

23:10

It was a magic of a walking talkie.

23:12

I go into films with an open mind,

23:14

you know what I'm saying? I wanna, you

23:16

know, and then maybe I hoped for Jumanji.

23:18

I like Jumanji. I like Jumanji too, yeah,

23:20

same. It was a real life one.

23:22

It was, yeah. And this one, yeah. And

23:24

their first question is name a black character

23:26

who survives in a horror movie and they

23:28

said Jada Pinkett and Omar Epson scream too,

23:31

which is wrong. But I will submit

23:33

that they could have said Jada Pinkett

23:35

in Demon Knight and been right. Yeah.

23:38

They were close. But Demon Knight is

23:40

an often overlooked, unfortunately, movie. Yeah, I

23:42

don't, I've never even heard of it.

23:44

Oh, watch yourself some Demon Knight, my

23:46

friend. It's good. It's fun.

23:48

It's real fun. Tales of the Crypt

23:50

presents. Also, Billy Zane is the

23:53

villain and he's amazing. It's his

23:55

best work. Yes. I'm

23:57

not even joking. He is so good. That

24:00

and charming. And that movie. Is also one

24:02

of his favorite. So like we've been

24:04

to horror conventions and he's usually they're

24:06

taking photos and he like aggressively will

24:08

take the midnight photos of see both

24:10

look at us is already aha yeah.

24:13

Highly recommend as they go through the

24:15

game pieces one of them as Morgan's

24:17

earring which would suggested this is someone

24:19

who knows them or is at least

24:21

watching us and they're like are you

24:23

watching us and they're like yes and

24:25

you got a question or time to

24:27

die. So. They shut the doors,

24:30

the lights go out, and Jay

24:32

Pharoah takes an arrow to the

24:34

throat. Morgan runs. But. Her

24:36

phone falls she goes to pick it

24:39

up. We pulled back as she screams

24:41

and is dragged out of frame. Perfect

24:43

horror. Cold open in separate. Yeah, it.

24:45

Is like a perfect cold open for a horror

24:47

movie. And I thought I was a double

24:49

I'd I actually thought they were like when

24:51

we saw her earrings I don't think of

24:53

the the it was so one that they

24:55

knew I thought they were telling her life

24:57

you're about To Die is A the answer

24:59

was you. Idle. Idle hearing to

25:02

me was interesting because. Yes, One

25:04

of them in. The. Bag and one of

25:06

things on on. I was here. right?

25:08

Yea I felt like three either. Three?

25:10

yes she's yeah, see you and ones

25:12

in the bag. Oh okay okay okay

25:15

yeah I was like is Clifton doing

25:17

like close up. One

25:20

Album And My Name Like.

25:24

Ah a party where honor well

25:26

as there were some violent three

25:28

area I noted that through the

25:30

album have gone out. Why they're

25:32

multiple airing? Yeah, And I once I saw

25:34

they were three, I was like oh. They're.

25:36

Messing with their the A. Tell her you bought

25:38

the die yet where we've been watching you and

25:41

guess work is you. You guess the wrong? it's

25:43

your time yes and say that as that's what

25:45

I got from a blood at That's great. Yeah

25:47

yeah yeah I missed it the first time I

25:49

saw this movie. The first time I will I

25:51

thought it was one and she had lost one

25:53

and they put it in his again. Peace. This.

25:56

Time I looked for it and it is three

25:58

but once we find out. Who the corporate

26:00

is like who the killer is. Then.

26:03

It makes sense. Young has been watching them,

26:05

he has been stalking them And so that's

26:07

how the earring gets in there yet? So

26:09

we cut to the rest of our group.

26:12

Driving up to the cabin. Specifically.

26:14

We have Dewayne, Lisa and Allison

26:17

together driving. We have the overhead

26:19

shining shot so visual call back

26:21

to some other famous horror films.

26:23

Very very fun! But.

26:25

They get to the cabin on the

26:28

way. We reveal that a there are

26:30

a lot of drugs and play Very

26:32

fun. Always fun to set that up

26:35

for a whore Muslim men to. We

26:37

set up that there is some strife

26:39

between the group. Were. To

26:41

waned is like nom de but Nandi is

26:43

coming because Nandi and Lisa of rekindle the

26:45

relationship with that sort. Of a secret at

26:47

the very beginning. Yes, yeah this is

26:50

the first place a we see

26:52

essentially the like telepathy in this

26:54

movie. All and as. You find

26:56

your honor. I think of it as other

26:58

employees off at the end he has a.

27:03

Sort of dog and a very interesting way

27:05

were like. Clearly. We hear the

27:07

voice over right right? You can also say they're

27:09

just really good at reading each other's faces of

27:12

or end of the end of the movie Burrow

27:14

like know this is a lot as celebrity that

27:16

sort of every one of the room zero. Butter

27:20

Masses Either good or speeds, but I was here

27:22

for it. But. The. Only reason they were

27:24

or that outweigh. Our our know

27:26

every go go saves it as.

27:28

A. Yeah was an essay because

27:30

the only reason he was able to hear

27:33

them with because he was black to it's.

27:38

Daylight you add a. Bit.

27:41

Like. That's

27:45

what I was even funnier. President: like

27:47

they forgot. Lsd.

27:49

Was actually black and of first seen

27:52

it where the way that is also

27:54

in the car with them and they're

27:56

talking and he can't hear it's the

27:58

movie that's it up initially as if

28:01

it's something only the girls can. Yeah

28:03

oh yeah and that expands it out.

28:05

Would say that is really fun as

28:07

yet but we cut to the gas

28:10

station where Sydney got has stopped to

28:12

pick up miss Gotta on the way

28:14

to the party. And a ton

28:16

of rap snacks. Delicious! My favorites as

I say however that there was a

29:18

point my library like I'm never going

29:20

back out Welcome Soils I never thought

29:22

in gone back to Walmart ever again

29:24

and I never have and I don't

29:26

want to all my guys something like

29:29

i think I wasn't there one time

29:31

and was like eight o'clock like public

29:33

for things and it's felt like it

29:35

was like like a soul level held

29:37

shrub labyrinth like where people were pleased.

29:39

To made me angry and and I

29:41

have exists too much emotional towards or

29:43

for me. the go. Get. A

29:45

trash bag? I just I can. Get

29:49

a trash bag. You. Like why do

29:51

you had a bad luck book.

29:53

On a second a trash bag or

29:55

his like your ran abuses yell at

29:57

you and was like ah alan. I

30:00

don't want this anymore. They look at you

30:02

like, oh, you need help? You gotta ring the

30:04

buzzer. And then there's like 30 minutes

30:06

that go by and no one comes. You're like,

30:08

why am I in here again? Yeah, you'll

30:10

die of old age there before anyone responds.

30:13

And you go to checkout and like, it's

30:15

just self checkout. And it's like the person in

30:17

front of you has got 300 items and I'm

30:19

like, there's like, there's only two of them. I

30:21

just, I can't do Walmart. It's stressful. I'm

30:24

glad I'm not the only one. I

30:26

feel very, very highbrow here right now.

30:29

Cause I'm pretty bougie. Walking to Target,

30:32

getting me a Starbucks. I mean, I'm

30:34

like. Tarjay is my thing, baby. It's my

30:36

thing. We on the same page. Mikey likes

30:38

going to Target because he knows there's a lot

30:41

of single ladies there already getting stuff they don't

30:43

need. So like he's like, hey, let's

30:45

make this happen. You know what I'm saying? There you

30:47

go. Yeah. Yeah. Just

30:49

sit in the dollar bin and wait. Now

30:51

you play the short game. So me.

30:53

Yes. I love you, Mikey.

30:55

I'm like the ugliest person at Target when I go.

30:57

And you know what? I'm fine with that. I'm still

30:59

getting my Crock-Pot. Okay. Mikey, that's

31:01

where you, why are you getting a Crock-Pot?

31:04

I love that it's a Crock-Pot. At

31:06

Target. That's where they sell them. Okay.

31:09

I ain't going to Walmart, my fucking Crock-Pot. I ain't going

31:11

to do that. I just lied to Amazon

31:13

with you worse. You've never just woken up

31:15

and been like, I need a Crock-Pot today.

31:17

Never. That's

31:21

never happened to me. I have, I

31:23

have Mikey. Todd's the outlier here. I

31:25

have definitely done that. Or like, I

31:28

want a Brita filter to replace this Brita

31:30

filter now. Now. Right this

31:32

second. Yeah. Because when I read

31:34

that there's ones that only filter when you

31:36

pour out and it makes everything easier, I

31:38

was like, I'm going to Target now to

31:40

pick that up. I don't want to wait

31:42

for the water to drip down out of

31:44

the Brita filter. I want to pour it out

31:46

filtered. And this is a really specific thing

31:48

that happened in my life, but I'm willing

31:50

to share vulnerability. Hashtag, I guess. Oh my

31:52

God. Thank you for being so brave.

31:56

I feel like that resonates with all of

31:58

us. It did. Filter because

32:00

I hate waiting for that stuff to drain. Yeah,

32:02

I have to go to Target immediately

32:09

Well, you probably have one of them fridges that

32:11

has the water right Yeah,

32:16

I made good money. Thank you Mikey. Thanks. Yeah

32:19

So I moved into my house and it does

32:21

not have it does I don't

32:23

have that That's the one feature that my house now

32:25

my fridge makes a shit ton of ice

32:27

But I do not have a water filter

32:29

built in and that is you know, that's

32:32

my burden to bear No, it's okay. Yeah

32:34

when he says his fridge makes a lot of

32:37

ice. They're like nice diamond necklaces though. So it's

32:40

No, bro, I can use that snow comb

32:42

maker and it doesn't dent ice I've got

32:45

a snow comb maker for Christmas That's the

32:47

backstory here Mikey who got you that for

32:49

Christmas my mom, you know, good job mom.

32:51

Love that. Yeah, I knew I Wanted

32:54

it to be you but for some

32:56

reason you're the mom that

32:58

made it better for me So, thank you. My mom

33:00

was like, what do you want for Christmas? What do

33:02

you like you like don't need but something you want

33:04

33:06

33:18

I do want to get you a snow

33:20

cone maker And

33:22

33:26

was like an at-home version of the ones they

33:28

have in the snow cone we don't have to

33:31

get into it But if you want to stop

33:33

by Mikey's house anytime and pick up a free

33:35

snow cone, don't do that You

33:37

might not be home So

33:39

Shanika's at the gas station Picking up

33:41

her wine and wrap snacks and she notices that

33:44

the people at the gas station seem to be

33:46

eyeing her and kind of following Her around the

33:48

store soccer ish. Yeah. Oh, I mean, but

33:50

we find out why towards the end of the movie,

33:52

right? They end up being the people who are in

33:54

the masks But but this is kind of what I

33:56

look like at Target if I'm going to look for

33:59

women You mean

34:01

on a scale? Eyepatch.

34:03

Yeah, like. Flaring. Now

34:07

we know why he's not working it out

34:09

for Mikey. There he is. You're shooting this filter.

34:11

The filter's on the way out. You can spit in

34:13

it. We can try it. You can spit in it.

34:15

My finger. Where do you think the water comes from?

34:17

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm

34:19

gonna talk to you. I'm gonna talk to you. He's

34:21

like, turn your spit into ice. You're like, I'm gonna spit

34:23

in it. I'm gonna spit in it. I'm gonna spit in

34:25

it. I'm gonna spit in it. I'm gonna spit in it.

34:27

I'm gonna spit in it. I'm gonna spit in it. I got to

34:29

ice. I got a great ice maker. And

34:34

a snow cone maker. I'm gonna quote your mom

34:36

when you told her you wanted a snow

34:39

cone maker. Say less, Mikey.

34:42

Say less. Anyway, she

34:44

runs into Clifton, who seems to be

34:46

part of the friend group, but doesn't

34:48

seem to fit in with everyone else

34:50

we have met from this friend group

34:52

so far. He's certainly on the periphery

34:55

of the friend group. I

34:57

do like when, because she is getting stared

34:59

at by these two guys, right? And Clifton

35:01

sort of just shows up in a shot,

35:03

like there's a shot of the guy and

35:05

then a shot of her again and Clifton's

35:08

just standing there, which is great. But

35:10

he's also staring at them like

35:12

he's clocking them, clocking her,

35:14

and he's like, wow, rude or

35:16

whatever. And I thought that was

35:19

funny because in the moment I

35:21

can understand why you'd be like, holy

35:23

shit, she's just a person. Stop staring

35:25

at her or whatever. But also, he's

35:27

paying those guys and they're being super

35:29

fucking obvious, right? So he's probably like,

35:32

wow, bro, don't, like he's probably talking

35:34

to them, not her in that moment.

35:36

And I thought that that was funny

35:38

because it plays on both of those

35:40

levels. When I saw that, you know,

35:43

when you've learned the turn that he's on

35:45

it, I was like, oh shit, that's great.

35:48

I mean, from the start, I was like,

35:50

Clifton is too weird. Yeah. Clifton

35:52

is that dude that you like. He's

35:55

got an Android. Say yes. I'm

35:57

like. When he was. I

36:00

was like asking her if they

36:02

had an Android. She was just

36:04

like, no, we do not do, like

36:06

she yells at him. I

36:08

thought that that shit was so funny. We

36:10

don't support that. Yeah, it was

36:12

like, I will hope space free to be

36:15

any like persuasion you wanna do whatever. You

36:17

can do whatever you want as long as

36:19

it hurts somebody else and you

36:21

can not have an Android phone. Android, yay.

36:24

Listen, I have both guys. I

36:26

must admit, I do have Android and an iPhone.

36:29

I like both. I've used both before. I

36:32

like both like for different things. The truth

36:34

is I didn't wanna get rid of my

36:36

Android after I switched to iPhone, but I

36:38

do love my iPhone. I

36:41

do love it. I am married

36:43

to an Android user and- Me

36:45

too. We're getting through it day by day.

36:47

Hey, you wanna airdrop this to me, babe?

36:49

Just stare him down from across the room.

36:51

Oh, oh you can't. I'm gonna airdrop this

36:54

picture of my tibbies. And he just like

36:56

can't get them. All I end up doing

36:58

is like, can you Wii transfer that to

37:00

me? Can you try? No, it didn't work

37:02

there. Can you try WhatsApp? Nope, not WhatsApp.

37:04

Let's try Instagram. Nope, not great. Okay,

37:06

well, I guess I'm not getting that

37:08

one. Well, let's just get divorced then.

37:10

Right. Sorry. You

37:12

wanna Google Drive that? Nope,

37:15

okay. I

37:17

only use my iPhone for that stuff

37:19

because it's like it just works on everything.

37:21

Yes. Do you know what I mean by that? I

37:23

do know what you mean by that because I have an iPhone.

37:25

Yes, it is great. Yeah,

37:28

never gonna switch. Yeah. I'm

37:30

gonna Rick Astley my Apple addiction. I'm never

37:32

gonna give it up. Yeah. It is almost

37:35

worth all of those tiny children dying to

37:37

make those phones, right? Yeah. Oh,

37:39

did Mikey find a hyrule? He's

37:42

very good at it, John DeLea. I have

37:44

the phone. I have just making

37:47

a point. Hey, what kind of phone do you have, Mikey?

37:49

I don't care. I don't have a phone.

37:52

I mean, look, it's a free market.

37:55

What do people say? That's home.

37:57

I mean, people do say that. 8

38:00

billion people, it's not a scarcity

38:03

type situation. No, okay, no, no,

38:05

no, no, no. No,

38:08

we're not justifying child labor with there's

38:10

too damn many of us. Oh my

38:12

god. No, I am

38:14

not for child labor. I do

38:16

work on children's... I

38:20

am not pro child labor. Let's just put

38:22

that out there, thank you. I'm not pro

38:24

child labor. I just own an iPhone. If

38:29

money talks, my money says...

38:32

Now, my money might be pro child

38:34

labor. I don't know what it's doing.

38:37

Half of our stuff, we don't know where it comes

38:39

from. This t-shirt might be a

38:42

child labor t-shirt. I don't

38:44

want to know because that protects me. I want to

38:46

hold my phone up to the TV and re-sign in.

38:48

It's so sad, it's so sad. I

38:51

brought us down, I'm sorry. It's not

38:53

right. Anyway, back into the movie, it

38:56

turns out his car broke down, his

38:58

phone is dead because it doesn't have

39:00

a charger, and no one has an

39:02

Android charger. And so he and

39:05

Shanika are now going to make their way up

39:07

to the cabin together. Sigh, I know. I wouldn't

39:09

let this dude be in my car. He's just

39:11

too weird. I'd be like, oh, you need a

39:13

ride? I thought at

39:15

one point he was like an

39:17

alien trying to pretend he

39:19

was one of their friends from college. When

39:23

he bends down to drink the

39:25

shot out of her hands... She

39:27

was like, hold it! I was

39:29

like, why would anybody think that that

39:31

was the way to drink? Clinton's an alien. There's

39:34

no way this person's a real person. Yeah, he

39:36

was a weirdo. I

39:39

mean, I've met weirdos like that, but you'd be

39:41

like... But that's weirdo. But that's weird. He was

39:43

like, weird weird. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I probably wouldn't

39:45

have invited this guy on the weekend. They didn't.

39:48

I feel like the group chat would have been

39:50

like, no. I don't think they did. I think

39:52

that he said the first person they killed, or

39:54

actually they've taken her, they killed the guy. But

39:56

I think he said that he was invited by

39:58

Morgan because he knew... at that point they

40:00

couldn't verify that. I would've known, I

40:02

would've been like, Paige would never have invited you.

40:05

Ha ha ha ha ha ha! I

40:07

was like, I told Shungalia, I was like, we

40:09

don't do guests often, it's the only people I

40:11

like. Right, she's like.

40:14

No, I mean like, depending on your figure,

40:16

I'd be like, I know they didn't invite

40:18

you. Do you have cancer or something? Like,

40:20

is it a make-a-wish? No, no. He said

40:22

that a make-a-wish. If I'm your make-a-wish,

40:24

you need to dream bigger. Yeah,

40:26

definitely was like, nobody,

40:28

nobody could explain how they

40:30

knew, like they were like,

40:32

yeah, he's here. Yeah. Say,

40:34

um. Like a wedding crasher.

40:37

Yes. Just going up, you're like.

40:39

I love how pretty much every main

40:41

character calls him a different name when

40:43

he's greeting them. But like, wildly different

40:46

name. Someone does get close, but it's

40:48

not right. At one point,

40:50

Duane calls him Gout. Yes, that's what

40:52

it was. I was like, that's what

40:54

it was first. But Duane is, and

40:57

he does say at that point, I'm sorry, man, I've taken a

40:59

lot of drugs. That's so funny.

41:02

A couple of them call him Coffin. Hilarious. Which

41:04

is like, it is a fun, hey, heads up,

41:06

wink, wink. Yes. But

41:09

the first one she calls him Carlton

41:11

as a reference to Fresh Prince. So

41:13

like. That was very, yes. Yeah, yeah.

41:15

And it was very close, accurate.

41:17

It was very close, yeah. So

41:20

we cut to the actual

41:22

cabin where Lisa, Alison, and

41:25

Duane have arrived. And

41:27

all of them are like, cabin? Oh no.

41:30

We have seen horror movies. This is a

41:32

bad idea. But they

41:35

approach anyway. As they approach, they

41:37

see that there's a park ranger

41:39

essentially interrogating King. Who is

41:41

another one of their friend

41:43

group. And they basically say,

41:46

hey, we're on the reservation. Here's all

41:48

our names. Here's our address. Here's our

41:50

driver's license. We rented it. And the

41:53

park ranger, Dietrich Bader, is

41:55

like, oh, yeah, usually they

41:57

only rent two. And he pauses. And he's

41:59

like. families and they're like

42:01

you met white people like clearly but

42:04

he goes on his way tells him

42:06

to have a good day. Here's my

42:08

criticism a park ranger would not be worried

42:10

about a private property they can only like

42:12

if it was like a park cabin they

42:14

would care. I was like what does a

42:17

park ranger give a shit about an Airbnb?

42:19

It's not even in a park. I think

42:21

that I think it kind of speaks to

42:23

the point that white people button in and

42:25

shit that has nothing to do with that.

42:27

You're like what the fuck are you even

42:30

doing here dude? I think that is the

42:32

right question. Why are you here and asking

42:34

for it? It's

42:36

like that neighbor that doesn't even live next door.

42:39

They live two blocks over there like I

42:42

was taking a walk and yeah

42:44

they usually don't rent to people. They don't

42:46

even know her. She just

42:49

been watching their house because she knows

42:51

me. You know what I mean? I

42:54

think it totally speaks to that and if

42:57

I can throw in really quick. I love

42:59

how they established the different types of black

43:01

people. Yes. Because what you

43:03

usually see in other movies is like

43:05

a very specific type of black person

43:07

and I think they establish right away

43:09

that black people every black person is

43:11

different. You got Dwayne right there that's

43:13

the he's the gay black best friend.

43:16

You got Antoinette who plays Lisa

43:19

who's that very prim very

43:21

you know pretty. She's an

43:23

attorney. Yeah she's very educated. Yeah. If

43:25

I had a book educated black woman then you

43:28

got King who's the ex-fug. He trying to get

43:30

his life together. Reforms.

43:32

Reforms. Yeah. By

43:35

marrying a Shelby if we will call her

43:37

that we never meet on screen. We never

43:39

meet her. That's who she's supposed to be. He

43:41

didn't bring her. He didn't bring her.

43:43

She did not bring her through the weekend. I

43:48

thought that was so funny. And then

43:50

wait and then we also have Allison

43:52

who's just that she's like that sweet

43:55

and you know she's not necessarily

43:57

as prim and proper as Lisa.

44:00

She's just the average, you know, fun friend. You

44:02

know what I mean? Yeah. I

44:05

would call her Hollywood's idea of

44:07

diversity. And by that I mean,

44:10

she is the safe casting Hollywood

44:12

usually does. Where it's

44:14

not written with a ton of personal information, although

44:16

we will find out that she's mixed, her dad's

44:18

white. Like we will find out more about her.

44:21

But this very much reminded me of like Lisa Bonet

44:24

in the early 90s. Like that's

44:26

what they wanted her to be. Yes.

44:29

And but perfectly written within

44:31

this movie to kind of reflect

44:33

that version of black women that

44:35

we get in the media. In

44:38

our various media outlets. Very true. So

44:41

Park Ranger leaves, they're all set up. But

44:43

who should walk out of the house but

44:45

Nnamdi that Dwayne was not happy to see.

44:47

And we will find out that that's because

44:49

Nnamdi has cheated on Lisa a number of

44:52

times. And Dwayne is Lisa's friend. And

44:55

every time they have broken up, he

44:57

has had to carry the emotional labor of

44:59

helping Lisa through that breakup. And he does

45:01

not want to see her get hurt again.

45:03

Yes. So he kind of

45:05

blames Nnamdi for that. I mean, rightfully so.

45:07

He's the guy cheating the whole time. So

45:10

yeah. I do like when Nnamdi comes over

45:12

and like says hello to them or whatever.

45:14

He is very cold towards Nnamdi.

45:16

And he's like, I gotta go get my

45:18

bag. And he just like walks away from

45:21

him. And then I do like

45:23

that she comes over and she's like, do

45:25

you trust me? Like close your

45:27

eyes and open your mouth and breathe in. And

45:29

she like throws Molly in his mouth. He's

45:32

like, you know that's my drug of choice. I

45:36

love how he said that.

45:38

Like it was, oh, you're so

45:40

good to me. That's my

45:43

drug of choice. I laughed so

45:45

hard at that. It was so

45:47

funny. I

45:50

thought that was hilarious. Now I do hate when

45:52

my friends bring back a person that they dated

45:54

who cheated on them. I'm like, okay, cool, cool,

45:56

cool. I just got to pretend. I don't know.

45:58

You fucked a bartender. I

46:01

feel like one of

46:03

Mikey's friends is like,

46:06

really manly now. I

46:13

had a few examples to pull from. That's

46:16

the friendship I'm willing to sacrifice. I

46:19

knew it! I knew it!

46:22

This is very specific. He's like the bartender on

46:25

10th Street. Can

46:29

I guess the other professions, Mikey? Sure.

46:32

Okay, bartender and then somebody in

46:34

marketing? No. Hey, Paige!

46:37

Come down! Watch out now! Nurse!

46:40

Definitely a nurse! Right! Come

46:42

on, Mikey! I know where you swim. It's

46:45

definitely either a mental health counselor or

46:47

a health care professional. A

46:52

health care professional. Let's

46:55

not get too specific.

46:57

Mikey's a Spanish Scrubs

46:59

lady. It's not me,

47:01

it's just people I hang with.

47:03

Oh my gosh. Anyway, we cut to

47:05

them in the house. King makes

47:07

the most disgusting Kool-Aid I've ever seen.

47:10

Just a whole bag of sugar. It's nothing

47:13

but shit. You know, my mom's from the

47:15

South and she always says, I don't know

47:17

how to make tea or

47:20

when I used to eat or drink Kool-Aid and

47:22

stuff like that. She's like, you don't know how

47:24

to make it. It's not sweet enough. I'm like,

47:26

mom, that is literally going to make everybody

47:28

pass out. What are you talking

47:30

about? It's diabetes central.

47:32

It's so sweet. My

47:35

teeth feel like they just fell out. As

47:38

soon as it hits your mouth, you're like, ow!

47:40

Why do my teeth feel like they're

47:42

vibrating with my heartbeat? What

47:44

is happening? And my heartbeat

47:47

is also like I'm a hummingbird because

47:49

I've hopped up on Zemo sugar and

47:52

I'm eight, mom. Too sugary. Too

47:54

sugary. Well, and every single person

47:56

that tastes it is like, oh no. But

48:01

also they've noticed that Morgan and Sean are

48:04

not there. Now they do have like a

48:06

voice message from them from the day before

48:08

that says that they got there and talked

48:10

about like, Hey, and it is the voice

48:12

message we saw Morgan leaving in the very,

48:14

very first shot of the movie. So that's

48:16

how we kind of close that loop and

48:18

know what happened. And then they

48:20

start playing spades, or

48:22

at least they start setting up for it. We do get

48:25

a conversation with King and Nnamdi outside where

48:27

King basically has the

48:29

conversation that Tay Diggs

48:31

and your chestnut used to, should

48:33

have had in the best man.

48:37

Yeah. Cause like King is calling

48:39

him on his shit. And Nnamdi is sort of

48:41

like, are you sure you're really a reformed thug?

48:43

Like they're sort of hitting each other back. But

48:45

I think King has more ammo because he's like

48:47

dating the person he cheated on a shitload with

48:49

in college. And he's like, I've seen

48:52

you do this cycle every two years. Yeah.

48:55

You're a, you're a new man or whatever. And

48:58

I have friends in my life where, you

49:00

know, I've given them similar shit, you know?

49:02

Yeah. I'm like, yeah, we'll see buddy.

49:04

We'll see. I hope, I hope you're right. I

49:07

hope you're right, man. Yeah. Yeah. Like

49:09

that kind of shit. Those are the impulse of friends. Yeah.

49:12

Yes. Yeah. Where

49:14

you're like, they're so impulsive. Yeah. Why?

49:17

Yeah. I don't get

49:19

it. Why did they cheat on their partner

49:21

with someone they met at a bar that

49:23

now they've decided is their soulmate? Yeah. I'm

49:26

going to say out of that bar on 10th street. Yeah. I

49:29

was about to say it. Yes. I

49:31

was about to say it. You beat me through it. I was

49:33

just about to do it. Listen, we're all serious. We have another power

49:35

in that call back. Come on. Yeah, we do.

49:37

I wrote it down. We also find out in

49:39

this scene that King is married to a white

49:41

woman that he did not bring on

49:49

the retreat, but he claims that

49:51

she is like spicy white because

49:53

she is Armenian. I

49:56

love you. So far. I love

49:58

you. Thanks. Shana Lee,

50:00

I will let you share whatever you want to

50:02

share about your personal life. My husband is

50:04

Armenian. So

50:08

I died laughing with this because

50:10

they are only like they were

50:12

telling like they're only like they

50:15

aren't actually white people. They're

50:18

Middle Easterners, but they get they're the

50:20

only Middle Easterners that can go by

50:22

white in America. It's

50:24

hilarious. It is hilarious. It's

50:27

like they are not white at all. Like

50:29

my husband don't even look white. Like

50:32

not even if you look at him

50:34

and he has white on his thing.

50:36

We get white privilege. I love it.

50:39

He's not even white. I'd be like, this is

50:41

fantastic. How long have you been getting away

50:43

with this shit? Like, yeah, I'm just so

50:45

married. But he's like, he's like, yeah, what else

50:47

did we put? I was like, other? Yeah.

50:51

And I'm from Michigan. So you they got Middle

50:53

Easterners because you know, it's a lot of Middle

50:55

Easterners in Michigan, specifically Arab and some like

50:57

still they're Middle Eastern Christians or something

50:59

like how the ins and stuff. Yes,

51:01

but they don't put down white. None of

51:03

them. None of them

51:05

put white. They put Middle Eastern or

51:07

others. So I never heard that before.

51:09

I was like, what? What

51:12

else can we get? Like, are you

51:15

serious? They think you're white. Our minions

51:17

are all about getting over on you.

51:20

So they definitely are not about

51:22

to be like, let's write down

51:25

that we're Middle Eastern. But

51:27

no, they're gonna be like, yeah, yeah, wait. We

51:34

actually are the original caucus mountain

51:36

people. They

51:38

are the actual

51:40

Caucasians. So technically they

51:43

are not lying. They

51:46

keep roasting that chicken. They

51:49

keep roasting that chicken like that. Well,

51:51

we'll have to say. Right. Right.

51:54

They got it down, baby. So good. I

51:57

don't know enough about Armenians to join.

52:00

in but I sure there are wonderful people. They

52:04

had a bad genocide. They did. They

52:06

did. Yeah. It was a real bad one. Yes.

52:08

Awful one. Yes, yes, yes. Couldn't pivot that to a

52:10

joke so I just moved it. That's

52:13

all right. Mikey, I've learned this about

52:15

you. Yours aren't like that. So I

52:17

get it. It's like you come in

52:19

with a hard back. So you're like,

52:22

and it's awful. That's your thing. That's

52:24

okay, babe. It's all right. That's my

52:26

turkey, right? That's my turkey? Okay. I went to a

52:28

school. To

52:32

be fair, again, I'm from Michigan. I

52:34

had never heard of an Armenian until

52:37

I moved to Los Angeles. You better

52:39

be glad I didn't officiate your wedding

52:41

or because I would be like, do

52:43

you take this Armenian? That's

52:46

what my momma, my mom was like,

52:49

Albanian. I'm

52:52

like, no, mama, not Albanian. Where are they

52:55

from? Armenia. We're Armenia. I'm

52:57

like, Armenia, my, where is that?

53:00

I'm like, oh, Lord. I

53:03

know we have a large population because of the

53:05

generation. Yeah. He's actually first

53:07

generation. Ooh, Todd straight up goes, where's

53:09

he really from? You know? So

53:12

I grew up with a lot of Kurdish people

53:14

who came here for similar reasons to Armenian people.

53:17

They just settled in Nashville. So I had a

53:19

lot of Kurdish friends growing up, Armenians, but Nashville

53:22

has one of the largest Kurdish populations in the

53:24

United States. I did not know this. Yeah. Yeah.

53:26

So I know a lot about Kurdish people in

53:28

that area because I had some friends on my

53:30

soccer team growing up. Right. So I imagine it

53:32

was like that for Armenian people wherever they predominantly

53:34

settled. I honestly don't know where. They said,

53:36

yeah, they primarily settled out here. They

53:39

did. And, uh, in Los Angeles specifically,

53:41

specifically like Glendale ish and the valley.

53:43

Oh, cool. They own Glendale. Yeah. Specifically

53:45

Glendale. They have little Armenia and they

53:47

also had the valley that they're pretty

53:49

much in the valley. Cool. And it,

53:51

a lot of them, yeah, because like

53:53

the genocide and stuff like that, they

53:55

went multiple places. So over in the

53:57

middle East as well. you

54:00

know Iraq and other places.

54:02

But yeah, he's first generation.

54:04

So he's like a Cali

54:06

boy. So he's

54:08

white. He's white. I

54:11

grew up with a bunch of first generation Kurdish

54:13

friends, you know? So like, I didn't know that

54:15

they were, you know, I had no idea. I

54:17

would go back to their house and I'd be

54:19

like, oh, your parents are very different than my

54:21

parents. Oh yeah, yeah, me too. Yeah, I grew

54:23

up with like a lot of Armenian friends. Yeah.

54:27

Oh, Mikey. Sure, that's how I knew about

54:29

their genocide. Cause it's like important to their

54:31

people. It wasn't

54:33

the first thing I read on Wikipedia

54:35

really quick as we were talking about

54:37

the Armenians. That's so funny. He's like,

54:39

that's one thing I made sure I'ma

54:41

say. Yeah. Anyway,

54:44

back to this movie and just, the

54:47

first time I saw this, I was just like, Shauna

54:49

Leah? Yes, cause

54:51

I talk about it in my standup and stuff. Yeah, that's

54:53

why she's here. She knows my husband.

54:55

She's your husband, yeah. Yeah, she knows my husband. I

54:58

also love that when he describes

55:00

what kind of white she is, he's

55:02

like, no, she's dog kisses on the

55:04

mouth pumpkin spice white. And I was

55:06

like, yep. White people

55:09

do let their animals kiss them on the mouth.

55:11

That is a uniquely white people thing. This is

55:13

very true. And Armenians do

55:15

not. They do not, most non-white

55:17

people do not in my experience.

55:19

Yeah, they definitely, I haven't met a bunch

55:21

of Armenians that do that. Shauna Leah, you don't know

55:23

this about me. I have two dogs and

55:25

five cats. Oh, wow. He got

55:28

a little zoo. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's great,

55:30

it's great. But I don't like

55:32

that when they kiss me on the mouth. I mean,

55:34

I've had them like climb up to me in bed

55:36

and lick my mouth and I'm like, no, oh God.

55:38

Like, but I don't like let them. I'm not like,

55:41

yeah, kiss me, kiss me. But you're like, ah,

55:43

did someone pee-pee tongue kiss them? You're like,

55:45

all right. Oh, I got a tongue kiss though,

55:47

dog, come on. I got standards. You go to

55:49

the dog park and they're like, getting to second

55:51

base, it's real rough. I'm like, okay guys, a

55:53

little too far. Anyway,

55:56

they get into their game of spades where

55:59

we see the the telepathy between Lisa

56:01

and Alison again, they use it

56:03

to win, good for them. And

56:05

Dwayne is sitting very introspectively, but

56:08

Lisa says, oh, don't worry, this is

56:10

in 20 minutes, it'll kick in. And

56:12

lo and behold, it does. He's dancing,

56:16

Lisa takes this time to sneak off

56:18

with Nnamdi so they can go have

56:20

sex upstairs while Dwayne dances

56:22

around the room to Silk Sonic.

56:26

Love it. I literally

56:29

wrote in my notes at this point, oh,

56:31

Dwayne's my favorite because he's just like on

56:33

Molly. And before this, he was like really

56:35

introspective and like on the chair and they

56:38

like totally call it because they're like trying

56:40

to talk to him and they're like, oh

56:42

no, he's on that pre-Molly stage. Right, right,

56:44

right. Give him a few minutes and he'll

56:46

be loose. And then literally when they go

56:49

to like have sex or whatever, he's just

56:52

like up dancing, taking his clothes off.

56:54

He prags his pants off like the

56:56

ripaway pants. I

56:58

was like, this is the best. I love this shit, this is

57:00

hilarious. When he jumps off the

57:02

table he's dancing on, he like kicks

57:04

his legs and slaps his ankles

57:07

on both sides. I was like, oh, this

57:09

guy's extra and I love it. I wish

57:11

I had tearaway khakis for like work. I

57:14

agree, Mikey, yeah. Well, like if you wanna

57:17

work out after, like real quick, you don't

57:19

have to like, like my workout class starts

57:21

at 430 and like that's

57:23

right at the end of work. Like what if

57:26

I could just, you know. Rip it away. Yeah,

57:28

Mikey's got like that mental health bulletproof vest, button

57:30

down shirt, khakis and like.

57:32

It's so lazy and convenient,

57:34

Mikey. I love it. Like. I

57:37

Googled this a couple of years

57:39

ago to look for it. It

57:41

does not exist. I do not,

57:43

Mikey. Hairaway khakis do not exist.

57:45

So that's a market, an untapped

57:47

market. It's untapped. You could tap

57:50

it, Mikey. Call Shark Tank.

57:52

Yeah. Yeah, you could. We believe

57:54

in you. Is business casual if

57:56

not tear away khakis? Look at this

57:58

bitch. We're on board. What?

58:00

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Mikey, you're

58:03

buying. You guys give me $50,000. Don't

58:06

owe 20%. Oh,

58:08

Mikey, you gotta up your price. That's actually really

58:11

cheap, bro. And

58:14

also, you just gave me control of

58:16

your... Of your company. ...billion dollar idea.

58:18

This is the next Facebook, Mikey. I'm

58:20

gonna be realistic here and say, I

58:23

don't believe it's a billion dollar idea. Oh,

58:25

no, I was fully joking. I don't think

58:27

anyone would buy them. But this could make

58:29

dozens of pants. You know what I'm saying?

58:31

This is a dozens of pants level idea.

58:34

Mikey, just make your own. Yeah, I was

58:36

gonna say, just buy taxis one or two sizes bigger

58:39

and then cut down the sides of the

58:41

legs and install snaps or Velcro.

58:43

That's so much work. But

58:46

then you just gotta be careful that you don't accidentally

58:48

bust out of them at work. Well, I would

58:50

have... I'd have workout clothes. It wouldn't just be

58:53

naked underneath the tearaways. But,

58:55

like, can I ask, are you looking to... Okay,

58:57

so you're looking to wear the stripper version of

58:59

your work outfit at work? Yeah.

59:01

Like, what if I have to

59:03

chase somebody and just be like,

59:05

you're having a breakdown.

59:08

Are you on your meds?

59:11

No, I'm not gonna run that fast. Wait,

59:13

was this a remake of Pony? Yes,

59:16

baby. I always bring it back to Daniel

59:18

Y. Yeah, yeah, he went big. Because

59:21

Mikey's a stallion. And he's wearing a stripper

59:23

version of his that's like, set up that difference.

59:26

Yeah. Basketball players are

59:28

not strippers. They wear tearaways. They wear

59:30

tear... They're not strippers. I want the

59:32

same respect. I will say they are

59:34

not strippers, but they are wearing

59:36

a stripper's uniform until they reveal the

59:38

uniform underneath. Also, I have never seen

59:40

a stripper come out in, like, full

59:42

athletic gear tearaways. Oh my gosh. For

59:45

anything. Yeah, it is. This is the lumber

59:47

version. Yeah. If you

59:49

do a lumber stripper version... I could

59:51

do that. See? They got farmers only.

59:54

Tearaway jeans. We need tearaway jeans now.

59:56

Hey, it's out there. People are... They

59:58

waiting for it. rip the

1:00:00

flannel shirts open full brawny man. You

1:00:02

gotta go full blown if you gonna

1:00:04

do it that way. You gotta get

1:00:06

the rip away, do the whole outfit.

1:00:09

Rip away flannel. Yeah, I have the

1:00:11

home version of this and I think

1:00:13

it could be profitable if we monetized

1:00:15

it widespread. I think it's really funny

1:00:17

that you just referred to Jake as

1:00:19

the home version of a

1:00:22

lumber stripper. I

1:00:25

mean, you're not wrong, it's actually correct statement

1:00:28

you just said. That is so

1:00:30

funny. Oh my gosh.

1:00:32

I have found tear away jeans.

1:00:35

Oh gosh. I'm gonna put this in the

1:00:37

chat here. This looks like something your granddad

1:00:39

wears when you don't know if there's gonna

1:00:41

be a slip and fall and you need

1:00:43

access to the diaper. Like it's like

1:00:45

that type of. It's

1:00:48

got medical convenience. Yes. It's

1:00:50

owned by a company called Funny Die Mugs.

1:00:53

Oh, this is hilarious. So medical

1:00:55

convenience is one of the bullet

1:00:57

points but the last bullet point

1:00:59

is party time. Need an undercover

1:01:01

stripping outfit? These rip off trousers

1:01:03

are for you. Oh, Mikey. Wow.

1:01:06

All right, okay. Well back to the movie. That we

1:01:08

watched. And not

1:01:10

Mikey's shark tank pitch

1:01:13

for this in a version of khakis. So

1:01:16

Dwayne goes to wash his clothes and

1:01:19

who hovers up outside against the

1:01:21

window but Shanika with peach lavender

1:01:23

muscato. Thank you. That sounds delicious.

1:01:25

That sounds great. This

1:01:27

is one of the jump scares that got me.

1:01:29

That makes sense. Oh yeah. You're seeing Dwayne's

1:01:32

reflection in the window and he like closes

1:01:34

the window and that changes the reflection. And

1:01:36

you can now see through it and it's

1:01:38

her face. And it's like a

1:01:40

big musical note too. And it's like the

1:01:42

combination of that and the note scared the

1:01:44

shit out of me. But it is very

1:01:46

funny. And also right before, right? Yeah,

1:01:49

and right before. Right before you probably

1:01:51

were on edge because when he closed

1:01:53

that door, the guy was

1:01:55

there. Yeah, he was. And you see

1:01:57

that a lot in this like early beginning. of

1:02:00

them arriving and then sort of settling into the

1:02:03

cabin or whatever, you'll see like shadows under the

1:02:05

door, you know, as the scene's going on, you'll

1:02:07

see that kind of stuff. Yeah. Or someone like

1:02:09

walking through a door frame that like is out

1:02:11

of focus in the back, you know, but they

1:02:14

don't see them obviously. So yeah, I think you

1:02:16

do see one of those and you sort of

1:02:18

like lean in and then this happens and it

1:02:20

scared the shit out of me. Well,

1:02:22

and so she comes in along with Clifton

1:02:24

and Clifton immediately was like, they would have

1:02:27

an Android charger and they're just like, no,

1:02:29

I don't support that. We don't, we're

1:02:31

not gonna. But Lisa comes back

1:02:33

into the room with Nnamdi and it

1:02:35

seems very obvious that they slept together.

1:02:37

I mean, she makes it very clear

1:02:39

they slept together. She's

1:02:43

like, girl, you smell like some dick. Yes.

1:02:45

Yes. He's like, and who was like, I

1:02:47

accidentally smelled the dick. Clifton's

1:02:50

like, I accidentally smelled some of the dick.

1:02:54

That was so funny.

1:02:56

But this means that Dwayne now knows. He

1:02:59

knows that she and Nnamdi are back together.

1:03:01

And this is where he does the

1:03:03

toast to not loving people

1:03:06

more than they love themselves, which

1:03:08

is great. Yes. Before he

1:03:10

does the toast, which Paige, I love because it

1:03:12

is so petty and I'm on board for all

1:03:14

pettiness. Yeah. But before that, he is like, oh,

1:03:16

I know you're expecting me to make some big

1:03:19

scene, but it's fine. I'm over it. I don't

1:03:21

even care. I'll just have a good weekend. And

1:03:23

the only reason I bring that up is

1:03:26

because then he immediately does the

1:03:28

most petty toast ever. Well, yes.

1:03:30

But also one of the

1:03:32

ladies says to I think Lisa, whatever he's

1:03:35

on, I need to be on his level.

1:03:37

Like clearly he is so high. Oh,

1:03:39

yes. And Shanika Shanika

1:03:42

is like, I need to be that

1:03:44

high. Yeah. I need to immediately be as high

1:03:46

as he is to have taken this so well.

1:03:49

I love that line. But you're right.

1:03:51

It then does cut to him doing

1:03:53

the most petty toast ever. Yes. And

1:03:55

they're about to start another game of spades. Clifton wants to

1:03:58

join and they're like, well, do you know how. to

1:04:00

play and he's like no but I could learn

1:04:02

and they're like then no and the lights

1:04:05

go out yeah now they can

1:04:07

through the windows see that there

1:04:09

is someone outside but this

1:04:11

is where we get the like is it a

1:04:13

raccoon is it a bear is it a bear-sized

1:04:15

raccoon all the other doors in

1:04:17

the house are closed and locked with the

1:04:19

exception of the game room so they go to

1:04:22

the game room and they're like Morgan must

1:04:24

have planned this until they open the game see

1:04:26

how racist it is and they're like she

1:04:28

would have never but I do like that and we they

1:04:30

breathe kind of right

1:04:38

past it but all of them have pieces that

1:04:41

kind of signify who they are mm-hmm

1:04:43

to a degree so like King

1:04:45

has a crown Lisa has a purse

1:04:48

Nambi has a pyramid Shanika has a

1:04:50

bottle and then I didn't even catch

1:04:52

the last two one of them

1:04:54

than Apple and another one is something

1:04:56

else so I think the Apple might

1:04:59

have been Allison and then

1:05:01

Clifton's is whatever yeah but if

1:05:03

you caught it let me know I tried to find it

1:05:05

in fun facts and couldn't find it but in the

1:05:08

Facebook group if you caught it let me know but it's like their

1:05:10

monopoly piece for lack of a better term

1:05:12

but it is like yeah customized to them

1:05:14

and I think they're gold not silver although

1:05:17

I bet that changes depending upon what kind

1:05:19

of monopoly set you're playing oh yeah

1:05:21

so as they're questioning the game

1:05:24

the game speaks to them pick a card and save

1:05:26

Morgan the door shuts the TV goes but if you

1:05:29

caught it let me know I tried to find it

1:05:31

in fun facts and couldn't find it but in the

1:05:33

Facebook group if you caught it let me know but

1:05:35

it's like their monopoly piece for lack of

1:05:37

a better term but it is like yeah

1:05:39

customized to them and I think they're gold

1:05:42

not silver although I bet that changes depending

1:05:44

upon what kind of monopoly set you're playing

1:05:46

oh yeah so as they're

1:05:48

questioning the game the game speaks to

1:05:51

them pick a card and save Morgan

1:05:53

the door shuts the TV goes on

1:05:55

they see that Morgan has been held

1:05:57

hostage and they are told that they

1:05:59

need to answer answer 10 questions

1:06:01

correctly so that they can leave

1:06:03

and they're all free to go and potentially

1:06:05

Morgan could go with them. I

1:06:08

think that's the stakes. I think he does say, then

1:06:10

you can all go free. Right. Which I think is

1:06:12

funny because he's fully expecting them all to lose, right?

1:06:15

I guess. Right. Because

1:06:17

it's Clifton we find out at the end, right?

1:06:19

So like, yeah. Right. Well,

1:06:21

and we will find out later that Clifton

1:06:23

has an ax to grind about them questioning

1:06:25

his blackness, which is why this

1:06:28

test is kind of a

1:06:30

stereotypical black quiz. So

1:06:33

they refuse to play initially, but

1:06:35

then the TV says play or

1:06:37

die like Sean and they show

1:06:39

Sean's dead body. So they're

1:06:42

like, Oh shit. Okay. We

1:06:44

do have to play. And the first one,

1:06:46

the first card is who is sojourner truth

1:06:48

and it's like a civil rights activist. I

1:06:51

forget what B was, but C was Harriet

1:06:53

Tubman. I think that's what C was. And

1:07:09

it's like a throwaway line, but it's

1:07:11

so good. Oh

1:07:14

man. But they, they

1:07:16

get it right. They move all their pieces. The

1:07:18

second question, and they do get progressively harder,

1:07:21

but so the second one was how many

1:07:23

seasons of dark ant viv versus light ant

1:07:25

viv on, on fresh fruits. I got it

1:07:28

wrong. I thought it was only two. It's

1:07:30

three. That was

1:07:33

so funny. It's

1:07:35

so black. Well, and they're calculating

1:07:37

it too. They're like, so the guests are

1:07:39

with this one that was light ant viv,

1:07:41

the dance is light. And then the dark

1:07:43

ant viv. I'm crying. The

1:07:46

next one is what does the NAACP

1:07:48

stand for? And I like

1:07:50

that A is people cooking at

1:07:53

Applebee's cooking pasta and they're like, why

1:07:55

would you even say that? Like, why

1:07:57

would that be an option? They

1:08:00

then have to know the second verse to

1:08:02

lift every voice and sing. I only know

1:08:04

the first from Beyonce, so I would have

1:08:06

gotten that wrong, personally. I think pretty

1:08:08

much most Black people would get that wrong. I

1:08:10

know all of us know that first verse. That's

1:08:13

why it's so funny, because it's like, yeah, we

1:08:15

know the first and the chorus. Yeah.

1:08:18

So she was like, aren't there like 14 verses to that

1:08:20

song? I don't know, man. It's like

1:08:22

if someone asked you to sing the second verse of

1:08:24

like, Bye-bye, Miss America Pie, you know, like that whole

1:08:26

thing. Like, there's like 30 verses to that song. I'm

1:08:28

not going to learn all of them. Yeah. But like,

1:08:31

you better believe if I'm going to get to the

1:08:33

second verse of any song, I have to sing the

1:08:35

first verse first. Of course. And then

1:08:37

a funny part, the person who actually knew

1:08:39

it was the mixed girl. This is the

1:08:42

mixed girl. Yeah. I

1:08:45

thought that was so... Everybody

1:08:48

else was like, what was it? Oh, it

1:08:50

was funny. Oh my God. Oh,

1:08:52

amazing. I do love... The next one

1:08:55

asks them to come up with 15

1:08:57

Black inventions, and we come in midway,

1:08:59

because this is kind of montage. We

1:09:01

come in midway through their list, and

1:09:03

he says, swag and gas mask. Yeah.

1:09:06

I like how the main list says swag

1:09:08

as an invention. I

1:09:10

was like, fantastic. So good.

1:09:13

But then they have to calculate how

1:09:15

many bullets are left over from Nas'

1:09:18

song about how many shots hit the

1:09:20

crew, because it's like one blunt, one...

1:09:24

Oh, gosh. One shot, one blunt.

1:09:27

Oh, that's funny. One pen, yeah. And then the calculation.

1:09:29

And I love that they do the math on the

1:09:31

screen for you. Yeah. And it's

1:09:33

like, Jesus was 33 years old, so

1:09:36

subtract that from what I was like,

1:09:38

I'd get this wrong too. Everybody would.

1:09:40

Yeah. That's why

1:09:42

it's funny, the different type of Black people

1:09:44

that knew the different types of things was

1:09:47

hilarious. Oh my God. Finally,

1:09:50

we get to who are five

1:09:52

Black actors that guest starred on

1:09:54

Friends? And I love that they

1:09:56

do successfully name five, but the

1:09:58

actual answer was... I don't

1:10:01

know I watch Living Single. I

1:10:03

watch Living Single. And I don't

1:10:05

know if people know because the

1:10:08

whole thing with Living Single and

1:10:10

Friends is because they took the

1:10:12

idea from Living Single and made

1:10:15

it mainstream. So the people that

1:10:17

don't know that, that's why

1:10:19

it's funny. Yeah, a lot

1:10:21

of people think Friends is a direct ripoff

1:10:24

of coupling from the UK, but it's really

1:10:26

not. It really is a blend

1:10:28

of coupling and Living Single, 100%. You

1:10:31

know how it's not a direct ripoff of coupling

1:10:33

from the UK? They tried to

1:10:35

make coupling a US show and it

1:10:37

failed. And it failed. I

1:10:40

love the UK coupling. Yeah, but it's...

1:10:42

I don't even know what that is.

1:10:44

It's a very... Look at

1:10:46

my face. It's white. Todd, it is Black

1:10:48

History Month here. We gotta move on.

1:10:51

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

1:10:53

I have no idea what that is,

1:10:55

guys. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Very white. Was

1:10:57

that on Masterpiece Theater, whatever? That's so

1:10:59

lame. I did, however, watch Living Single

1:11:01

and Friends. And I love how all the Black

1:11:03

people did watch Friends too. Yeah, they all watched it.

1:11:05

They did that part too. I love that

1:11:07

they're like, I don't know, but didn't the

1:11:10

number of bangs? They're like, but didn't

1:11:12

Aisha Tyler, Aisha Tyler, and Gabrielle Union.

1:11:16

I think it's coming back to Dwayne and

1:11:18

he's like, yo, watch this show, man. Yo,

1:11:21

watch this. He's calling them on it as

1:11:23

they're like, but maybe it was on one,

1:11:25

right? Yeah. Yeah.

1:11:27

Well, here's my favorite though, is

1:11:30

that every person they list has

1:11:32

the same role. So

1:11:35

both Aisha Tyler and Gabrielle Union

1:11:37

were love interests of Chandler and

1:11:39

Joey. And then

1:11:42

Phil Moseley, Craig Robinson, and the

1:11:44

actors who played on Viv were

1:11:46

all Chandler's bosses. That's

1:11:49

the only way they were getting those people in.

1:11:51

They were like, all right. That's the only way

1:11:53

they got them in. But because it says they

1:11:56

answered wrong, because they didn't answer, I watched a

1:11:58

living single instead, which is great. The

1:12:00

TV shows Morgan that they're going to

1:12:03

torture Morgan and it looks like they're

1:12:05

going to try and remove her scalp

1:12:07

But her weave glue saves the day

1:12:19

He runs and for a second it looks

1:12:21

like she's gonna get away because she takes off

1:12:23

up the basement stairs They run to try and

1:12:25

get to her but the door is locked King

1:12:28

pulls out his gun to try and shoot the

1:12:30

lock but when they do finally get the door

1:12:32

open It is one

1:12:35

of the assassins who has clearly

1:12:37

also killed Morgan and now Fires

1:12:40

an arrow directly at King like

1:12:42

he opens the door and just

1:12:44

arrow instantly Yeah, you see the

1:12:46

arrow hit King before you actually

1:12:49

see the assassin guy, right? Yeah,

1:12:51

right And you think that the

1:12:53

assassin killed Morgan not King Oscar

1:12:56

Sing her through the door. That's very possible.

1:12:58

Also, we never find out. Yeah, I

1:13:00

was thinking it He

1:13:03

just got paroled he did yeah, oh and

1:13:05

I love how when he was shooting he

1:13:07

did the sideways Readjusted

1:13:12

the aim he readjusted like this is

1:13:14

the proper way. Yeah, if you actually

1:13:16

want to hit a target Well,

1:13:24

and we find out that they have shot arrows

1:13:26

into all of the tires of their cars So

1:13:28

they can't leave they are trapped there now Which

1:13:31

is great because it solves a practical horror movie

1:13:33

problem of why don't they just leave? So

1:13:36

yeah, we have removed their ability to leave

1:13:38

and that was done before any of this

1:13:40

kicked off, right, right So now

1:13:43

the assassins trying to get out of the basement

1:13:45

door. Shanika runs and pushes him back They're trying

1:13:47

to shut the door Dwayne helps her but the

1:13:50

guy's got his foot between the

1:13:52

door and the basically door

1:13:54

stop So they grab a knife

1:13:56

and stab it into his foot and managed

1:13:58

to lock the basement door.

1:14:01

So King goes and pulls the arrow

1:14:03

out and he's like, oh no, put

1:14:06

it back in because it hurts really

1:14:08

hard. He does pull it out and

1:14:10

then immediately turns the other assassin is

1:14:13

there and he immediately gets shot again.

1:14:15

And we will find out through the

1:14:17

same hole. He

1:14:20

gets shot again. Now this is where

1:14:22

Namdi gets the gun and shoots sideways

1:14:24

and Clifton adjusts it upright. They run

1:14:26

back to the game room where Allison

1:14:29

tries to pull the arrow out

1:14:31

of King's back because he breaks the

1:14:33

tail off it. She pulls the back

1:14:35

and ends up stabbing herself with

1:14:38

the arrow. With just the back of it

1:14:40

though, right? No, the front of it. She's

1:14:42

got the front of it. Oh, that's right. Oh

1:14:44

my gosh. To be shot from the other

1:14:46

direction. Yes. Oh my God.

1:14:48

Oh my God. Yeah. But

1:14:50

they all make it to the game room. King

1:14:52

is worse for wear. So is

1:14:55

Allison. So they're passing around what they think

1:14:57

are painkillers. But we will find out later

1:14:59

that they are something else. But

1:15:01

this is where they say, are

1:15:03

there any white people that would

1:15:05

want to kill us? And they

1:15:07

start listing out everybody, including someone

1:15:10

who was mad that Dwayne claims

1:15:12

that the O'Reilly auto parts jingle

1:15:14

is more culturally impactful than the

1:15:16

star spangled banner, having all of

1:15:18

them to sing it like that.

1:15:21

Amazing. Oh,

1:15:27

we all know it. We all know it.

1:15:29

Oh, when he said it, I was like,

1:15:31

oh, shit, he's probably right. Like more people

1:15:34

probably do know that song than the national

1:15:36

anthem. Like, yeah, all right. Yeah. Yeah.

1:15:38

Yeah. And JG Wentworth.

1:15:40

To be fair, those two songs are very

1:15:43

short. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They

1:15:45

are truly jingles. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

1:15:47

I know the first few lines

1:15:49

of the star spangled banner. And

1:15:51

you know, the chorus. That's it.

1:15:53

What's the second verse, Mikey? And

1:16:00

fish in the sky and

1:16:03

a big monkey pipe. Our flag

1:16:05

will still be there or whatever.

1:16:08

Happy Black History Month y'all. Happy Black History

1:16:10

Month. Mikey

1:16:12

got black pants y'all. He got black pants.

1:16:14

I do, they're right there. I'll

1:16:18

be hagging you on this post. Prepare

1:16:20

for it. Do you

1:16:22

know the second verse of the O'Reilly

1:16:24

auto parts jingle? There's no second verse.

1:16:26

Get outta here. I love fate. Anyway, at

1:16:29

this point the killer tells him that they

1:16:31

have to choose someone to sacrifice and they

1:16:33

have to choose who is the blackest. So

1:16:35

they kind of go around each

1:16:37

person who is the blackest. So

1:16:39

they start with Nnamdi

1:16:41

because Nnamdi is from Africa. However, he's

1:16:44

like, I grew up in Oakland and

1:16:46

starts listing off Oakland's, then he's like

1:16:48

Fruitvale Station. They're like, that just makes

1:16:50

you blacker, man. Like. He's

1:16:53

like, I'm not gonna do it in graders. Like he just

1:16:55

did all this. Greater nation Fruitvale Station. Like, he's

1:16:57

not helping your case. Fruitvale

1:17:00

Station, there's a very bad shooting there. Yes, thanks.

1:17:02

Thanks for the downer. There you go,

1:17:04

Mikey. We were missing that. Back in, I'm

1:17:06

back in the game. We were missing it.

1:17:08

We were missing it. Thank

1:17:11

you for explaining that. They then

1:17:13

go on to blame Allison. And

1:17:15

Allison is like, every time you wanna make fun

1:17:17

of me, I'm white and now the one time

1:17:19

you need me to be black, I'm black, so

1:17:22

that's gonna be a no. Yes.

1:17:25

I thought that line was perfect. It's

1:17:27

so funny. Yes. They accuse

1:17:29

Shanika because she always says the N word.

1:17:31

Yeah, and she was like, I don't know

1:17:33

if you can say that on here. I

1:17:35

can, you can. I cannot. She's like, nope.

1:17:38

I can't say it ever, but

1:17:41

you can say it wherever you want. Yeah,

1:17:43

I can't say it ever. I was like,

1:17:45

I don't know how this is syndicated. Oh,

1:17:47

no. Shonda, you

1:17:49

can say as much as

1:17:51

you want. As I've been cursing, I think the

1:17:54

entire time. Yeah, no. Yeah, same. I

1:17:56

curse, not this curse. I don't curse that.

1:17:58

I don't think. Yeah. Good job

1:18:00

guys happy black and female once again.

1:18:03

Yeah, we have cleared the little star. I'm

1:18:06

so proud of you. I'm so proud. I

1:18:08

do love that that's the reason they give

1:18:10

her and as like a hey she says

1:18:12

it and is like oh, okay. Yeah, no.

1:18:15

She's like I'm gay now. I hear it

1:18:17

now. I hear it. Yes! Oh

1:18:20

my god. But they they

1:18:22

get around to Dwayne who's

1:18:25

like no I'm gay and also in

1:18:27

therapy. So no those

1:18:29

reasons. But eventually

1:18:31

they get around to Clifton who

1:18:33

admits to never having seen Friday

1:18:35

enjoying Jimmy Fallon without the roots

1:18:38

and he voted for Trump

1:18:40

twice. Twice. Oh my god.

1:18:43

Which Shondalia I would like to take a moment because

1:18:46

I was with you the day

1:18:48

after Trump won and it

1:18:50

was a somber time for all

1:18:52

of us. And I turned to you

1:18:55

and I said how you hold it up and

1:18:57

you said and I quote girl I

1:18:59

got a gun and I started Krav Maga and

1:19:01

it's one of my favorite things you've

1:19:03

ever said. Oh I did. Oh

1:19:07

I did. I

1:19:10

happily joined Krav Maga and I

1:19:12

am a orange belt. I was training

1:19:14

for my green. Cause

1:19:18

people was attacking black people. I was like oh y'all

1:19:20

know this not about to happen. Oh

1:19:22

my god. I got guns. Nice.

1:19:25

Saw that. Yep. Prepared.

1:19:27

I was prepared baby. That's why she knew

1:19:29

the gun had to be upright instead of

1:19:32

sideways. I'm like no you gotta. Yeah you

1:19:34

gotta like the stance. Straight arm.

1:19:36

Oh man. Yes

1:19:42

that was funny. I forgot you were with

1:19:44

me baby. Yeah. Oh my god. Yeah

1:19:49

it was a weird time for

1:19:52

a while. I'm glad people cut

1:19:54

back and stopped being so nutty

1:19:56

but it was a really crazy and

1:19:59

dangerous time. like nuts it was crazy

1:20:01

and at that time I was going on a road

1:20:03

yeah you were and I stopped going on a road

1:20:05

I was like I'm not going like following I was

1:20:07

like I'm not going on a road like I don't even trust it

1:20:09

no yeah it's it was weird for a

1:20:11

while I feel a little bit better

1:20:14

about going back on the road now yeah I

1:20:16

picked my

1:20:18

spot yes I think we all yeah we

1:20:20

were like that was your cue you should

1:20:22

you were supposed to have a thing right

1:20:24

okay I'm gonna make it out of this I'm just

1:20:33

gonna navigate navigate this way yeah

1:20:35

yeah what you guys don't see

1:20:37

is Mikey has one of those

1:20:39

really long bars that tight won't

1:20:42

walk walkers use holding

1:20:45

that just trying to stay upright okay

1:20:56

Clifton because he voted for Trump where

1:20:58

they're like you're not the blackest yes

1:21:00

but fuck you for that Trump shit

1:21:02

yes yeah yeah well they don't know him

1:21:04

as well

1:21:06

I thought the stranger out

1:21:08

he's a stranger right and

1:21:12

he does slap King on the way out shot

1:21:15

twice in his shoulder

1:21:17

same spot but still

1:21:19

things but he's like laying down

1:21:21

like he's like not doing anything really yeah

1:21:23

slap them on the way out I was

1:21:25

like hell yeah and then as he

1:21:28

goes to open he grabs a fireplace

1:21:30

poker as he goes to open the

1:21:32

door he just says all lives matter

1:21:35

before shutting it by no funny so

1:21:37

good oh fun he was like you know what

1:21:39

guys all lives I

1:21:42

know I did love

1:21:44

other purpose but

1:21:47

they immediately are like oh that didn't feel right

1:21:49

like I feel I know he voted for Trump

1:21:52

but I feel shitty about it in this moment

1:21:54

and so they go to go out and get

1:21:56

him but the doors are locked and they see

1:21:58

on the TV screen that he appears to

1:22:00

be shot by an arrow and

1:22:03

dragged away. And I do

1:22:05

love that everyone was like, well, he did vote

1:22:07

for Trump twice. Yeah. But

1:22:12

allegedly he didn't get to vote on

1:22:14

who was the blackest, they never let

1:22:16

him vote. So they

1:22:18

lose and they

1:22:20

push the game off the table, it

1:22:22

breaks, but now they have three

1:22:25

minutes of safety before they essentially get

1:22:27

hunted. Yeah, because the game runner, whatever, which

1:22:29

is one of the assassins, one of the two,

1:22:31

who knows which one, but he says,

1:22:33

well, if you're not gonna play the game,

1:22:35

it goes immediately to sudden death, which is

1:22:37

like survival. You have three minutes, I'm

1:22:40

gonna unlock the game room so you guys can

1:22:42

get out. In three minutes, I'm coming in. Yep.

1:22:44

Good luck. And they

1:22:46

kind of break into two factions at

1:22:48

this point. The people that wanna stay

1:22:50

there, grab weapons and fight, and the

1:22:53

people that wanna take their chances outside,

1:22:55

which I do love that they're like, I hate to

1:22:57

say this, I think we have to split up, question

1:22:59

mark. Yes. I loved this

1:23:01

whole conversation. Because it is very,

1:23:04

that's a trope. And

1:23:06

they're just like poking it, it's

1:23:08

just so funny. It just made me laugh so much. So

1:23:11

good. And I love the weapons they grab. Oh

1:23:13

yeah. I love it, they're giving, I

1:23:15

think it's Lisa's shit for giving a candle,

1:23:17

like a candle stick. A candle holder. And

1:23:20

she like uses it later. Shit,

1:23:22

I love it. But my favorite is when they

1:23:24

hand Allison just a jar of

1:23:26

chili powder. Cause they're like, we ran out of

1:23:28

knives. So like, you get the chili powder. But

1:23:32

that is Chekhov's chili powder, which is a

1:23:34

sentence I never thought I'd say, because that

1:23:36

comes back at the end. It

1:23:38

does. It does. But

1:23:41

not before, Shanika is like,

1:23:43

hey, passing out pain pills

1:23:45

to everyone who's been shot

1:23:47

with arrows, only

1:23:49

to figure out that she's actually given

1:23:51

Alison Adderall, not

1:23:54

Vicodin, which I

1:23:56

do love that she kind of like, Dr.

1:23:58

Strange vibrates. Adderall like I'm

1:24:01

on a second level of consciousness Yeah,

1:24:04

this is how I was on Adderall just

1:24:06

like wouldn't talk and I would be like

1:24:08

very like logical and it was I was

1:24:11

Like hmm. That's why I stopped taking it. I

1:24:14

struggle to this day with simple too much vibration

1:24:19

To be more personable Doing

1:24:23

great stuff for me. I've never had Adderall,

1:24:25

but is that what they give kids? They

1:24:27

are too hyper Yeah, I thought I was

1:24:30

on it till I was 18 Ritalin. I

1:24:32

was a little Adderall. Yeah, okay.

1:24:34

Yep. Anyway So

1:24:36

they split up into two factions We've got

1:24:38

Shanika King and Allison who are gonna take

1:24:41

their chances outside Yeah, and then we have

1:24:43

Lisa Dwayne and Nnamdi who are inside So

1:24:45

they start to go explore the basement because

1:24:47

they want to find Morgan and see if

1:24:49

she's still alive or find her body They

1:24:51

never do we eventually see on the video

1:24:53

what has happened, but they never

1:24:56

find the body Yeah, now we cut back

1:24:58

outside where Shanika is

1:25:00

basically shepherding two injured

1:25:02

people outside and they

1:25:04

decide which way is the lake which way is the road

1:25:06

and Allison just wants

1:25:08

to climb a tree and hang out so

1:25:10

they lose Allison but

1:25:13

they find the lake meaning

1:25:15

they've gone the wrong way and King

1:25:17

just climbs up into a tree while Shanika

1:25:20

is going to kind of cross the lake

1:25:22

to try and get help on the other

1:25:24

Side can we talk a little bit about how

1:25:26

a little bit about how King gets in that

1:25:28

tree because he has been shot in The shoulder

1:25:30

twice. There was no one arm you can climb

1:25:32

with right? So she's like helping him up and

1:25:34

as like the camera starts to cut away

1:25:37

to a different scene You hear him start

1:25:39

to say don't put your finger up my

1:25:41

ass and it like to the other I

1:25:44

made me laugh. I was like hang on I

1:25:47

had to rely on it So

1:25:51

good he did But

1:25:53

meanwhile the group inside has discovered like

1:25:56

the command center in the basement of

1:25:58

the house There's a giant convention Confederate

1:26:00

flag, there's a whole bunch of screens,

1:26:02

but this gives us our initial red

1:26:05

herring of it being the gas station

1:26:07

guys for white supremacist reasons. Right.

1:26:10

Yeah. Meanwhile, they go

1:26:12

upstairs because they're like, we're running away from this shit.

1:26:14

They go to open the door. Who is there? The

1:26:17

park ranger. They don't

1:26:19

immediately want to trust him,

1:26:21

understandably so. And

1:26:23

I do love that they all lower their weapons, tell them

1:26:25

what's going on. And he's like, okay, great. You'll be safe.

1:26:28

Follow me. And then they all pick their weapons

1:26:30

back up. Yeah. Yeah. You

1:26:33

always got to have a weapon. Always.

1:26:35

I understood it first off, but I do

1:26:37

love that it wasn't like they immediately just

1:26:39

grab their stuff and go. They like wait.

1:26:42

Yeah. And they all look at each other

1:26:44

like, Hey, are we going to get our shit? Yeah. Okay.

1:26:47

We all going to get, okay, cool, cool, cool. We're going to get our shit. Okay.

1:26:50

Cool. Cool. In

1:26:52

a wood. They absolutely should have, but I

1:26:54

love that that pause where they were just talking. I

1:26:56

loved it. That was hilarious. I also love when he

1:26:59

calls for backup and he's like white

1:27:01

to base, white to

1:27:03

base, because we

1:27:06

will find out they're jamming the signal, but

1:27:08

it is, it very much seems like he

1:27:10

is playing a part and he's like, no,

1:27:12

no, no, I'm one of the good ones.

1:27:14

I wouldn't go to the cookout out of

1:27:17

respect. Yes. And

1:27:19

they're all like, all right. They're

1:27:21

like, okay. You're like, you earned some points, but

1:27:24

we don't trust you fully yet. Like that's what

1:27:26

that was. I loved it. Yeah. Well,

1:27:29

they do all get in his car and he's like, hold on. I got

1:27:31

to check on something and leave because he's never seen a

1:27:33

horror movie ever. I was so mad in

1:27:35

this moment. I was like,

1:27:38

sir, no, it is your job to get away from

1:27:40

here immediately. Stop it. Yes.

1:27:44

I'd be like, let's, let's just drive down and then

1:27:46

we'll get more people to come up. Yeah. Honestly,

1:27:48

he was a park ranger, so I'm glad he just wasn't like,

1:27:50

well, it's only a 12 mile hike back

1:27:53

to town. Right. So I

1:27:55

mean, it could have been worse, you know, did you know

1:27:57

that this plant life. Now

1:28:01

that would have been funny. Watch

1:28:04

out, we're going to see poison oak and

1:28:06

maybe some copperhead snakes. And maybe if

1:28:08

we get back to the beast, I've

1:28:10

got stickers. Now who's working a

1:28:12

merit badge? It

1:28:15

starts with like a jungle

1:28:18

crew. We

1:28:21

cut to Shanika of the lake and

1:28:24

she is like halfway across and

1:28:26

across on the other side one of the

1:28:28

assassins is shooting arrows at

1:28:30

her. Now that assassin is right

1:28:32

underneath the tree where King is.

1:28:35

Yeah, he's like looking down on her as she

1:28:38

is in the water like yelling back at him

1:28:40

like no you ain't shooting at me, you better

1:28:42

stop shooting at me, you better stop it. I

1:28:44

don't know why, made me laugh. Oh it was

1:28:46

great. I thought that she was hilarious. She was

1:28:48

like scolding this assassin like it was a dog

1:28:50

that was peeing on the carpet and I laughed.

1:28:53

That's so funny. But King

1:28:56

wisely jumps down and

1:28:58

tackles the assassin. He does

1:29:00

get stabbed in the leg but

1:29:02

Allison shows up with a bunch

1:29:04

of broken arrows she has collected

1:29:07

and basically turned into Wolverine claws

1:29:09

and she just eviscerates this dude.

1:29:11

Like instant kills him. It's like

1:29:13

she started taking crop, the day

1:29:15

after Trump got elected. Like she

1:29:17

goes to town on this guy's

1:29:19

midsection. And I literally

1:29:21

wrote in my notes, I was like oh shit they

1:29:23

killed the bad guy in an hour in but

1:29:26

obviously there's more. That's

1:29:29

why I was like maybe it is Jumanji.

1:29:31

I was like maybe we're going back. He's

1:29:34

like I was right, I was right though. It's

1:29:38

a very white way

1:29:40

to go through the movie. That's

1:29:42

alright. So they run his pockets

1:29:45

and take his mask off revealing because Shanika

1:29:47

was at the gas station earlier revealing that

1:29:49

he's one of the gas station guys but

1:29:51

they also find his inhaler with his name

1:29:53

on it and the address of the Airbnb

1:29:55

that they're staying. So they know that it's

1:29:58

his house essentially. But

1:30:00

this means that they need to warn everybody else,

1:30:02

because that, like, he's got different boots on, they

1:30:05

didn't stab his foot, so there's still at least

1:30:07

one guy out and

1:30:09

about potentially hurting people. Now we

1:30:11

cut to the other group back

1:30:13

in the car, and they're sitting there like, what

1:30:15

if he never comes back, is he gonna come

1:30:17

back? But as they're debating it, they find a

1:30:20

mask in the car. I love

1:30:22

how that comes back up, like, immediately as

1:30:24

he gets back to the, I

1:30:26

guess it's like a police jeep or whatever, which

1:30:28

makes sense, because he's a park ranger or whatever,

1:30:30

but he's like through the glass, because they won't

1:30:32

let him in now, and he's

1:30:34

like, I understand why that would look bad, I

1:30:36

found it, and that's when they came to come

1:30:39

meet you guys to see if you were okay.

1:30:41

But they're like, no. No. No. We don't, and

1:30:43

like right as they're like, no. He

1:30:46

gets like shot through the neck, I think.

1:30:48

Yes, yes. Yeah. Yeah. And

1:30:51

they're like, oops. Yeah, they're like, oh,

1:30:53

maybe he was on our side. But like, there's

1:30:55

no telling, and you got a gun, so. I

1:30:58

think you could interpret it either

1:31:00

way. Either he is one

1:31:03

of the good ones, and oh, oopsie

1:31:05

daisies, or we

1:31:07

know that there's a mask on the guy by

1:31:09

the lake. There's a mask on the

1:31:11

guy in the house. Clifton doesn't

1:31:13

have a mask, so maybe that was his, and

1:31:16

he planted it, but if not, that mask is

1:31:18

unaccounted for, and he doesn't really have a reason

1:31:20

to be there. He's like, I found this mask

1:31:22

in the woods and came to check on you

1:31:24

guys if I was okay. That story doesn't hold

1:31:27

up. He may have been one of them.

1:31:29

I think he's a good guy, because he explained things

1:31:31

like how I feel. I'm like, I know that

1:31:33

looks really bad, but I found it earlier. It

1:31:35

does make sense now. I swear I'm not bad.

1:31:38

You be getting shot through the neck, Mikey. That's

1:31:40

all I'm saying. But I

1:31:42

do, Paige, I do think they leave it ambiguous

1:31:44

on purpose. Yes. Mikey's like, that was

1:31:47

me. I

1:31:49

was like, oh no. I

1:31:51

would have said the same thing. I

1:31:54

do think it's ambiguous on purpose, but also

1:31:56

they then take off from that car, but

1:31:59

they just behind it. because someone's still firing

1:32:01

arrows and Nnamdi and Lisa

1:32:03

see a clear like

1:32:06

path and Duane is like just go

1:32:08

go ahead and they do and he

1:32:10

just says I was joking like now

1:32:13

I love how he

1:32:15

like really gives him shit for this. Oh,

1:32:17

yeah. No black person is gonna

1:32:19

want you to lead him there. I don't

1:32:21

care what they say. They are not they

1:32:23

are like go without me. Not for real. This

1:32:27

is not the time to be taking me literally.

1:32:29

But that's also what I would say. I'd be

1:32:32

like Mikey go on without me. He'd be like

1:32:34

I was going anyway. I'm

1:32:37

gonna be like I don't want you to go. Like

1:32:39

this podcast is about to become real famous. Oh,

1:32:44

if one of us die, is that what you're saying? That's

1:32:46

my joke every time something dangerous happens

1:32:48

to me is I'm just like think

1:32:50

of how famous I will be as

1:32:52

a dead person. I will crush it

1:32:54

as a dead person. Man, I can't

1:32:56

wait to die. I'm like unfortunately Todd

1:32:59

died. I'm here to interview about it.

1:33:02

If you guys want me to have me on

1:33:04

your show, I'll be there. Oh, that's so funny.

1:33:06

Hang on. I'm gonna. Yeah,

1:33:08

please turn a light on because it looks like you

1:33:10

just like our podcast thing from like the darkest circle

1:33:12

of hell. There we go. I'm

1:33:15

gonna grab a blanket. Okay.

1:33:18

He usually podcasts with the blanket. That's no

1:33:20

joke. I'm gonna have a blanket

1:33:22

here with me. I

1:33:24

get it. I'm either hot or cold. Look, we

1:33:26

already did the strip tease earlier. And

1:33:30

now I know why Katy Perry wrote that song about you. Anyway,

1:33:34

we cut you inside. We're

1:33:36

there now hiding in one of the vents watching

1:33:39

as the assassin kind of tracks them around the

1:33:41

house. But then we hear the

1:33:43

record player turn on, which kind of distracts

1:33:45

the assassin and who should show up. But

1:33:47

to Wayne, who's like, I didn't mean like

1:33:50

I didn't mean it. When I said leave

1:33:52

me. So now all three of them

1:33:54

are up in the vent, the largest vent in the history

1:33:56

of the world. But whatever we're going to go with it.

1:34:00

It's video game level

1:34:02

sized. I also love that. They're like,

1:34:05

what do we do now? Wait here till morning?

1:34:07

He's like why morning? They're just people it's not

1:34:09

ghosts and he's like, I guess it's less scary

1:34:11

and they're like, yeah All right. That's a good

1:34:13

point That's right. You

1:34:16

got it However, the assassin does

1:34:18

something really smart where it turns the signal blocker

1:34:20

off So all the notifications come through their phones

1:34:23

So all of them they he can hear

1:34:25

all of them in the vent He comes up

1:34:27

to the vent and who should throw up but

1:34:29

Dwayne who's been threatening to do it the entire

1:34:31

time out of fear Yes, so he barfs through

1:34:34

the vent on to the assassin Who

1:34:36

then slips and falls down the stairs? I

1:34:38

thought that shit was very funny though.

1:34:41

Yeah, come on. It was waterfall level

1:34:46

I think I've only been that drunk

1:34:48

in like right after

1:34:50

high school Yeah,

1:34:53

when she was legally allowed to drink After

1:34:56

high school Legally

1:35:00

drink They're

1:35:07

not gonna come get you now definitely 21

1:35:15

21 but it's like the exercise level of

1:35:17

bomb. Yeah, like it's an insane amount

1:35:19

of vomit. Yeah, it was Jenna juice

1:35:21

level Yeah Jenna juice. Yeah

1:35:25

With the particles in it there were particles I saw

1:35:27

yeah I was like

1:35:29

someone had like potatoes soup before they

1:35:32

were like definite part when they come up on his

1:35:34

body later There's

1:35:36

like corn carrots and yeah Like

1:35:40

a beef stew like what's going on one time in college? I

1:35:44

drank a whole bottle of hypnotic and threw up blue so

1:35:48

Did you do incredible Yeah Mikey

1:35:53

you were looking for ripple way

1:35:55

khakis the incredible hogs got him online.

1:35:57

Yes. Look Mikey had black friends.

1:35:59

Yeah Oh, definitely. He was drinking

1:36:01

incredible. Yeah. He was with me. He

1:36:04

was with me. He

1:36:06

was with me. I

1:36:08

just like people. So

1:36:12

you're saying all drinks matter? All drinks matter.

1:36:16

Whoa! Oh.

1:36:20

Gotta walk that line. Good job. Good

1:36:22

job, Paige. Thank you. Thank you. Paige

1:36:24

and I don't drink though, which is funny. Not

1:36:26

anymore. I'm not sure what that means. I put

1:36:28

in my time back in the day. I've

1:36:30

never, I've never, yeah. I've

1:36:33

drank my fair share of hypnotic and

1:36:35

Boone's farm. Oh, wow. Well,

there, yeah. I'm gonna

1:36:44

try this Hennessy. Everybody's singing about it.

1:36:46

Yeah, of course. Everybody's

1:36:48

singing about it. With Listerine's trips too,

1:36:50

yeah. Anyway, he

1:36:52

falls down the stairs, allowing them to get

1:36:55

the crossbow. Dwayne does manage to

1:36:57

shoot him in the face, but the guy kind of blocks

1:36:59

it with his hand. And so he kind

1:37:01

of catches the arrow with his hand. He gets back up.

1:37:04

And who should show up but Shanika,

1:37:06

Allison, and King,

1:37:09

who then fire the second crossbow.

1:37:12

So that guy's down. At least

1:37:14

not like walking around, but then

1:37:16

Lisa smashes his face to a

1:37:18

pulp with the candlestick. Yeah. Essentially

1:37:21

to avoid talking about her

1:37:23

feelings amongst Dwayne and Nandi.

1:37:27

But then she then comes back and is

1:37:29

like, okay, after murdering a person.

1:37:31

And I love that it was her. Yes,

1:37:34

I did love that it was her. I

1:37:36

love it was her because it's like that

1:37:38

uptight girl who was holding in all that

1:37:40

stuff. And then she lashes out and it's

1:37:42

usually that friend. You're like, oh, you are

1:37:45

a psychopath. She's

1:37:47

like covered in this rut. Yeah.

1:37:49

And she's like, anyway, so not

1:37:52

to bring in the incredible Hulk, but it's like that

1:37:54

scene where he's like, I'm always angry. I

1:37:57

was like, yeah, it definitely

1:37:59

was. Because she really went after

1:38:01

that guy. Yes, he did. Like there

1:38:03

were particles left after that too, but

1:38:06

they were brain particles. It wasn't like

1:38:08

cabbage and carrots or whatever. It was

1:38:10

amygdala. But they run

1:38:12

his pockets, they find out he's the

1:38:14

twin brother of the other guy that

1:38:17

they killed and they find the payments

1:38:19

for their assassinations which add up to

1:38:21

a thousand dollars because we'll find out

1:38:24

that was the amount of the pot

1:38:26

in the spades game at the party

1:38:28

ten years ago. Okay, this one thing that

1:38:30

happens in the scene is my favorite in

1:38:32

the whole movie and that is Dwayne

1:38:35

saying only a thousand dollars?

1:38:37

That's disrespectful while he's pocketing

1:38:39

it. And he

1:38:41

like looks around to see if anyone notices

1:38:44

it. No one does. So he

1:38:46

walks away with the thousand dollars. He was

1:38:48

worth a thousand dollars. I love that. I

1:38:50

thought that shit was funny. It was.

1:38:53

It was really funny. It was so good. But now

1:38:55

they're going to go downstairs to the command center to

1:38:57

look and see what else they can figure out because

1:38:59

they don't know if there's more people. But

1:39:02

this is where Alice is like take the

1:39:04

chili powder just in case and they're like,

1:39:06

okay, weirdo like what? What are we going

1:39:08

to cook? Yeah,

1:39:10

she and King stay upstairs

1:39:13

while the rest of them go downstairs, come to

1:39:15

find the park ranger

1:39:17

and Clifton seated at the table as

1:39:19

if somebody has posed their

1:39:22

bodies. And this

1:39:24

is where they decide to start trying to prop

1:39:27

doors open just in case. Yeah. Well,

1:39:29

that's how they get King away from

1:39:31

who was hanging out with King. Amanda.

1:39:34

No, not Amanda. Allison. I'm

1:39:37

sorry. It's her name. It

1:39:39

was Allison. Yeah. pillows.

1:39:43

Yes. That he was like resting his head on

1:39:45

because he's been shut and stabbed in the leg. And

1:39:47

he like hits his head on the side of the couch

1:39:49

where the pillow should be and it's just like weird, you

1:39:51

know? Yeah.

1:39:54

They were seeing him up the whole time. That stuff was

1:39:56

so funny. I know man. He got

1:39:58

beat up. So beat up. It was funny

1:40:00

like that. She's trying to like keep the

1:40:02

door propped open But she doesn't get there

1:40:04

in time and they got those Matt Lauer

1:40:06

switches so they can close them You can't

1:40:09

just like leave them propped open because it'll

1:40:11

close automatically. Yeah. Yeah, so they do close the

1:40:13

doors And just as

1:40:15

that's happening the group downstairs finds

1:40:17

a newspaper newspaper clipping newspaper

1:40:20

newspapers newspaper clipping

1:40:22

pinned to Clifton and It's

1:40:25

regarding a DUI that he was involved in

1:40:28

ten years ago And

1:40:30

I do love that they then

1:40:32

start to remember like a little

1:40:34

bit of the story But

1:40:37

before they do he wakes

1:40:39

up as they're watching on the

1:40:41

TV a video of him tossing

1:40:43

Morgan's body So two

1:40:45

of them realizes him the

1:40:48

rest of them watch him stand up.

1:40:50

So now they're like, oh, he's the villain He's

1:40:52

been the villain the whole time. He's rigged the

1:40:54

whole basin with explosives And this is

1:40:56

where he starts asking them questions about that

1:40:58

night and we revealed that he couldn't play

1:41:00

spades He reneged which is

1:41:02

a big deal in spades It's like

1:41:05

the epitome of why I get pissed

1:41:07

off in spades that and you not

1:41:09

knowing how to count your books Don't

1:41:12

play. Yes, don't play. Why do

1:41:15

you can't if you can't count

1:41:17

your books I Get

1:41:20

so I just got mad at somebody

1:41:22

I was at a holiday party and I'm

1:41:25

like she was like no to self Chantelilla

1:41:27

gets upset. Yes I'll

1:41:35

just do it. You know what I mean? But I'm

1:41:38

like you said you had this amount of books We

1:41:40

got all my books we get none of your so

1:41:42

you've miscounted your books I was like, so this is

1:41:44

how you count books and she like shoes.

1:41:46

Oh, I'm like, okay Oh

1:41:52

You came to the party to play games not

1:41:54

teach games. Oh my gosh, I was

1:41:56

so mad I'm like don't say you can play if

1:41:58

you can't play Or

1:42:01

don't be my partner. Well when they're

1:42:03

playing in spades the first time and they're

1:42:05

like, Clifton's like, well you can teach me.

1:42:07

And they're like, no. And they're like, you

1:42:09

can watch and if you think you got

1:42:12

it, maybe we'll put you in. We're

1:42:14

not going to take the time to teach you. Yeah,

1:42:16

but not on my team. That is a thing. Well

1:42:19

I learned that a lot. I learned a party too.

1:42:21

They ain't like him enough. You got to be likable.

1:42:23

You got to be likable to be taught. Yeah,

1:42:26

he was just a weirdo. They're like, yeah,

1:42:28

we don't really watch you here anyway. But

1:42:31

the pot was up to a thousand dollars. Everyone

1:42:33

was crazy. He got really drunk. And

1:42:36

I do like that he's like, Lisa's doing whatever she's

1:42:38

doing now and she just goes, I'm an attorney. And

1:42:40

he goes, congrats. And then just moves

1:42:42

on the rest of his feet. But

1:42:44

he is just like hardcore not taking

1:42:46

accountability for his own actions. You know,

1:42:48

like he's blaming everybody else for like

1:42:51

him drinking for the first time, getting

1:42:53

too drunk, driving and... Right. And

1:42:55

he says that he did it because

1:42:58

they threatened to revoke his black card

1:43:00

for not knowing how to play spades,

1:43:02

which Shondalia, feel free to fill in

1:43:04

your experience. But I would say that

1:43:06

most people have their

1:43:08

card has been threatened at least multiple times

1:43:10

in their lifetime. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's going

1:43:12

to be revoked. Yeah. So

1:43:14

when you were using someone to have a tough look at

1:43:17

this holiday party, did you threaten it? I

1:43:19

was done. I was like, okay, so

1:43:21

she can't play black games. She's black. She

1:43:25

can't play black games and I'm never using her

1:43:27

again. I was like, note

1:43:29

to self if I'm ever at a party, it's

1:43:32

gone. Like I was like, I did

1:43:34

it. I did it. I get it. I

1:43:36

understand. I feel like most black people, it's

1:43:38

the same thing with taboo. It's the

1:43:41

same thing. Now I

1:43:43

can play taboo. I love taboo.

1:43:45

Yeah. Yeah, that's the thing.

1:43:47

So, you know, it's just, it's gone. And

1:43:49

it's going to take a lot to rebuild it back. You

1:43:51

know what I mean? Yeah, once you lose that trust. It's

1:43:54

gone. I get it. Well, I learned

1:43:56

at a time before YouTube, but I bet you could learn

1:43:58

by just like watching a YouTube video. Now some

1:44:01

people are awful just at the game. They

1:44:03

aren't good at it. I learned

1:44:05

on a block I learned on a block

1:44:07

where everybody gambled Craps

1:44:14

but I've never I've never played in the streets, but

1:44:16

like I really want to but like I don't know

1:44:18

how to approach that My

1:44:22

Mikey over here playing all the games When we were

1:44:24

in Kansas City last year they have casinos and Mikey

1:44:27

taught me craps and it was a Fun

1:44:35

time man, and I want a bunch of money. It

1:44:37

was great Mikey is the

1:44:39

guy. Yeah, I do I

1:44:41

do love all games and I've been out but

1:44:43

to think that people just pay on everywhere I just want to

1:44:45

I just want to go I want to go play. Yeah, anyway,

1:44:48

he claims it because they were gonna revoke

1:44:50

his black Heart, that's why he drank so

1:44:52

much and then drove and killed someone Driving

1:44:55

under the influence, but I do love that. They're

1:44:57

like he only got four years from manslaughter. That's

1:44:59

like grad school Four

1:45:05

years ago and then he's been planning this ever

1:45:07

since and he wants to kill them and dump

1:45:09

them in the well But this time he's going

1:45:11

to make them choose the blackest person to go

1:45:13

first He's gonna kill all of them,

1:45:15

but he's gonna make them choose the order Yeah,

1:45:18

so this is where at first they're like

1:45:20

we refuse to play your game, but Dwayne

1:45:23

telepathically talks to Lisa and is

1:45:25

like do you trust me play the game and he's

1:45:27

trying to set up a Scenario in

1:45:29

which Clifton is distracted so he

1:45:31

and Nandi can tackle him But

1:45:34

Clifton is like you think I

1:45:36

don't hear you like I can

1:45:38

also hear you Rid

1:45:43

of the element of surprise But

1:45:48

upstairs because they're watching this all

1:45:50

on the TV Allison and King

1:45:52

are they turn the lights out which

1:45:54

gives them in a chance to beat

1:45:57

up Clifton and They're trying to

1:45:59

figure out how to shoot a with the crossbow but

1:46:01

they're trying to hear each other's voices and

1:46:03

at this point Shanika says Dwayne say

1:46:05

something gay and he says how fucking

1:46:07

dare you that's so offensive and she's

1:46:10

like perfect and shoot the other

1:46:12

guy. Shoot the clip in

1:46:14

when they then throw the chili

1:46:16

powder on him, Chekhov's chili powder.

1:46:18

Exactly. And like 300 style kick

1:46:20

him down into the well. Yes

1:46:23

it was him, yes. But

1:46:25

then they have a fun little like

1:46:28

well he didn't take that well. He

1:46:30

was very unwell. But

1:46:37

we cut to them waiting outside and they're like

1:46:39

so what do we do now? Do we call

1:46:41

the cops? They all laugh because obviously

1:46:43

they're not gonna. Yeah right. I

1:46:45

thought that shit was amazing. But then there's two additional

1:46:48

seeds like mid credits where they come back

1:46:50

in and they're like well what if we

1:46:52

act like we're white women but then when

1:46:54

they show up like they'll know it's us

1:46:57

and then we cut back and they're like oh I know

1:47:00

fire department. And Dwayne changes

1:47:02

his outfit because the fire department is

1:47:04

gonna show up. He's like we're gonna

1:47:06

be on the news I want to get ready. He

1:47:08

looks new. He looks good. He

1:47:10

looks like a good banana. That's what

1:47:13

they say. That's funny. Oh my

1:47:15

god. The fire

1:47:17

department shows up and unfortunately sprays them

1:47:20

with the hose. And

1:47:23

that's the movie. I love that

1:47:25

it was civil rights style

1:47:28

shooting with the hose. It was

1:47:31

like not just shooting with the hose

1:47:33

it was full blown civil

1:47:35

rights movement. It was riot control shooting

1:47:37

with the hose. They

1:47:40

all tumble too. I

1:47:42

was just like oh my god. It was

1:47:44

like oh my goodness that was funny. So having

1:47:46

seen the movie, having talked about the movie, what

1:47:49

did you guys think about the blackening? Oh

1:47:52

loved it. I loved it. I think it

1:47:54

was fun. I love a good horror comedy. Yeah same. I

1:47:56

thought it was very funny. Very well done and it paid off in

1:47:58

a very big way I think. For sure. I

1:48:01

thought it was very funny. I love how to

1:48:03

use all the tropes Yeah, it is one of

1:48:05

those movies that like if you've seen a lot of cabin in the woods

1:48:07

style movies Like you

1:48:10

there's a lot of like little subtext though I

1:48:12

think a lot of people who like obviously would

1:48:14

listen to the show would get Automatically that some

1:48:16

people I think might miss. Mm-hmm But yeah, there

1:48:18

are a lot of nods to just straight up

1:48:20

cabin in the woods horror site Yeah style movies

1:48:22

here too, which I think is cool. Yeah, I

1:48:24

think they did a great job Just kind

1:48:26

of combining all the different stuff I feel

1:48:28

like they did a lot of stuff like

1:48:30

you said they come but kind of combine

1:48:32

other black movies that weren't for You

1:48:35

know, right just that the stuff, you know what

1:48:37

I mean? well, yeah, and and they also there

1:48:39

are references to other like exploitation like like Yeah,

1:48:42

I think there's I think the game room

1:48:44

is there's a green door for a reason

1:48:47

Yeah, cuz the green behind the green door

1:48:49

from the 70s. I think wait

1:48:51

what I don't know this tell me I

1:48:53

don't know a lot about it, but I

1:48:55

think it's like a taboo adult film from

1:48:58

the 70s Film

1:49:01

yes like but like

1:49:03

theatrical porn film like it would

1:49:05

show in like theaters like

1:49:08

a deepthroat kind of I

1:49:10

don't know how many they did with scary movie, but

1:49:12

you know, but they did us so many scary

1:49:15

movies Yeah, there's like six scary movies.

1:49:17

So Paige do you have any fun facts for us?

1:49:19

I do Juneteenth

1:49:23

fun facts now while Allison is tripping in

1:49:26

the woods Shanika slaps her and says if

1:49:28

you want to be somebody if you want

1:49:30

to go somewhere You better wake up and

1:49:32

pay attention Which is a

1:49:34

famous line from sister acts to back in

1:49:37

the habit This

1:49:46

was based on a skip by the same name And

1:49:49

the comedy group that created that skit is

1:49:51

three Pete obviously Dwayne is a part of

1:49:53

that group as well Dietrich

1:49:55

Bader who plays a park ranger

1:49:58

his name badge actually He

1:50:00

identifies him as B White, so

1:50:02

whatever his first name is B,

1:50:04

Brian Brandon, whatever, but

1:50:07

B White is his name.

1:50:09

Obviously, I mean, this is a horror podcast, so you

1:50:11

all know. The tagline saying, we

1:50:13

can't all die first is a reference to

1:50:15

the horror trope of black characters being the

1:50:17

first to die. If you're unfamiliar

1:50:19

with that trope, unlikely if you're listening to

1:50:21

this podcast, but if you are, I highly

1:50:23

recommend Horror Noir. Both

1:50:25

there is a book, but also a documentary that

1:50:27

goes into the history of black representation and horror.

1:50:30

It's phenomenal. I know we've mentioned it on

1:50:33

the show before, but it's almost always on shutter,

1:50:35

so please watch it if you get the chance.

1:50:38

Tim Story, who was kind of the co-creator

1:50:40

and director of this movie, said that it

1:50:42

actually gave him a huge amount of respect

1:50:44

for horror films and filmmakers after making the

1:50:46

film. He was used to working in comedy,

1:50:49

and he said that just like comedy, horror

1:50:51

seems to have its own rules, and it

1:50:53

made him a bigger fan of the genre,

1:50:55

which is why they ended up adding more

1:50:58

and more references as the movie goes on.

1:51:01

But it meant that the script went through

1:51:03

multiple rewrites to try and make

1:51:06

sure that they didn't tip their hand too

1:51:08

early and that everything made sense. Yeah. If

1:51:10

you tip your hand too early, Chondalee is going to get

1:51:13

real mad at you. You might

1:51:15

not want to do that. If

1:51:18

you did write, she's not going to be mad about it. Listen,

1:51:20

if you know how to count your books... Right.

1:51:24

...we won't end up in this situation.

1:51:28

Now, a couple things to note. If you're going to

1:51:30

watch this or do a second watch of it, which

1:51:33

I highly recommend, Clifton points out

1:51:35

that he uses an Android phone. This isn't just

1:51:37

a funny joke in the movie. Apple

1:51:40

notoriously has never let a

1:51:42

villain use their product on

1:51:44

screen. And so,

1:51:46

if you ever are ever watching something and you're

1:51:48

trying to wonder who the villain is, if

1:51:51

they're using an iPhone, probably not. Because

1:51:54

they're not allowed to use... Yeah.

1:51:57

Yeah. So, the Android is

1:51:59

kind of a... little like Easter egg of

1:52:02

hey this guy he's not on

1:52:04

the up-and-up. That's awesome. Yeah not

1:52:06

necessarily because of Android's quality just

1:52:08

Apple's social media and film policies.

1:52:10

Yeah that makes sense. Now similarly

1:52:12

another little Easter egg is when they're passing

1:52:14

out the pieces for the game the reason

1:52:16

we don't know which one Clifton had she

1:52:19

doesn't hand him one. She hands

1:52:21

pieces to everyone else except for Clifton.

1:52:23

Clifton puts his own piece down and

1:52:25

it's in the shape of a dice.

1:52:28

I thought I saw a dice. Yeah

1:52:30

that he planned the whole thing so

1:52:33

that's kind of a little clue that

1:52:35

it's him and those are your fun facts. Interesting

1:52:37

okay well thank you for those fun

1:52:39

facts Paige let's talk a little bit

1:52:41

about box office. So what do you

1:52:44

think the blackening cost to make in 2023

1:52:47

when it came out? I should probably recuse myself on

1:52:49

that. Do you know? I do. I'm

1:52:51

gonna guess 13 million

1:52:53

okay? I don't know if it would

1:52:56

cost that much it's probably wouldn't cost that much they

1:52:58

didn't have like special effects and stuff like that. Right.

1:53:00

It took place in one place well two places. It's

1:53:02

largely a single location movie. Yeah single

1:53:04

location movie but it had a major studio

1:53:07

behind it. Yes maybe like in

1:53:09

a higher thousand not

1:53:11

million. It's definitely gonna be millions

1:53:14

because I know some pieces of this the

1:53:17

major studio came behind it for distribution I

1:53:19

believe. So I don't know that they had

1:53:21

major studio money behind it but any movie

1:53:23

that takes place in the woods at a

1:53:25

cabin tends to be cheaper because you can

1:53:27

just rent cabins. It's actually like one of

1:53:29

the cheapest sets you can rent. So like

1:53:32

one mill? So you're actually a little bit

1:53:34

closer than Mikey was. It's five

1:53:36

million dollars. Okay. Okay. Which I think is why

1:53:38

it looks like it could be a 13 million

1:53:40

dollar movie but there are no special effects and

1:53:43

it really is largely except for like the gas

1:53:45

station and a few with the car scenes. All

1:53:48

at the cabin. Yeah. All right. But this movie

1:53:50

came out on June 16th 2023 and

1:53:54

it was number six in the theater the week it came out

1:53:56

it was beat by The Flash. Number

1:53:59

two was Element. until number three was

1:54:01

Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse, number four was

1:54:03

Transformers Rise of the Beast, and number

1:54:05

five was Little Mermaid. What do

1:54:07

you think the blackening brought in and it's opening

1:54:10

week at number six? I

1:54:13

do remember that this is right around, this

1:54:16

is when the no promotion mandate came out

1:54:18

for the strike which hurt almost

1:54:20

everything in theaters. Definitely did, yeah.

1:54:23

I'm gonna say this made

1:54:25

two million. Opening weekend, remember this is

1:54:27

just opening weekend. I was gonna

1:54:29

say five. You can say five million, Mikey, you

1:54:32

think it makes its budget back, okay? Shondalee,

1:54:34

you wanna guess? Oh my gosh, I'm

1:54:37

so bad. I feel like I'm

1:54:39

always gonna end up at one meal. Okay,

1:54:41

and that's a fair guess.

1:54:43

Okay. But this movie actually made $6 million.

1:54:46

It's opening weekend. Oh, wow. It

1:54:48

made nearly their budget back in its first

1:54:51

week out. That's great. Which is pretty rare

1:54:53

for most movies. Okay. But it was also

1:54:55

six and still brought in six million. I

1:54:57

think that's really good. I'm just gonna

1:55:00

speak to how many movies, or how movies

1:55:02

were doing at the time. It's like summer,

1:55:04

blockbuster, I guess, time. So a lot

1:55:06

of people are going to movies. I guess it makes sense,

1:55:08

but yeah, they crushed. It was in

1:55:10

theaters for a total of six weeks. It was in

1:55:12

the top 10s for its first two weeks, but

1:55:15

was never again in the top 10. So what

1:55:17

do you think it brought in domestically at

1:55:19

the box office in that entire six

1:55:21

week run? 10, Mikey? Paige,

1:55:23

Shondalee, you wanna take a guess? Let's see, maybe

1:55:26

like 13. Okay. I'm

1:55:29

gonna actually go 21. Okay, it was 17.7 million dollars. Ah,

1:55:32

nice. Okay. In its

1:55:34

total domestic run. It also made almost, well no,

1:55:36

a little over $850,000 internationally. So

1:55:40

the movie actually brought in $18.5 million in

1:55:43

the box office worldwide. So it definitely

1:55:45

made money. Wow. That's probably why

1:55:48

they're making another one. Yeah. And I honestly do

1:55:50

think it'll do better than this one because, A,

1:55:52

this one's really good. And I think a lot

1:55:54

of people caught this, you know, when it was

1:55:56

out of theaters, or maybe like are just realizing

1:55:58

it came out because. page you're right. This

1:56:01

came out during that time where like we weren't like

1:56:03

really allowed to talk about what movies were currently in

1:56:05

theaters. So it like came out in this black hole

1:56:07

time period where like if you were in the know

1:56:09

you knew about it but if you weren't you didn't

1:56:12

and you didn't go to the theater to see it.

1:56:14

Well and yeah it ended up on

1:56:16

Netflix for a while streaming. Yeah. Only a few

1:56:18

months after it had been in theaters. It's

1:56:21

currently when I watched it today I have

1:56:23

stars so it was free through stars. Yeah.

1:56:25

So it's kind of making the rounds on

1:56:27

all of the streaming platforms which is good

1:56:29

because that means every streaming platform is brokering

1:56:31

a new contract to get it which is

1:56:33

great. Yeah. And I think it's gonna be

1:56:36

one of those ones that's gonna be constantly

1:56:38

in streaming rotation because it's so

1:56:41

good and popular and was so

1:56:43

well received. Yeah it's on Amazon now as

1:56:45

well. I think I just saw that they

1:56:48

also were putting it on Hulu so. It

1:56:50

wasn't on Hulu today because that's where I would watch it. I watch it

1:56:52

on Amazon. I paid to rent

1:56:54

it. Yeah. I mean I'm not mad at it.

1:56:56

I honestly wish I just bought it. Yeah. But

1:56:58

yeah. Yeah. Anyway so that's your box office. So

1:57:00

Mikey do you want to hit us with that

1:57:02

scary scale. Yeah. Our scary scale is the scale

1:57:04

of one to ten of house care. We found

1:57:06

the film we watched it today. Our one example

1:57:08

is Ghostbusters and our ten example is Texas Chainsaw

1:57:10

Massacre. Paige do you want to go first? Sure.

1:57:13

This is a one for me. I do

1:57:15

think there are some cool jump scares. They

1:57:18

definitely kind of like a Shaun of the

1:57:20

Dead where they incorporate horror

1:57:22

elements into something that is definitely meant

1:57:24

to be a comedy. But

1:57:27

for me yeah it's a one

1:57:29

just on scariness. Quality ten, scariness

1:57:31

one. Yeah this is just a scary

1:57:33

scale Shaun I believe. This is not a quality at

1:57:35

all. So do you want to go next?

1:57:37

Yeah I think it was a one as

1:57:39

well. I wasn't afraid. I laughed like

1:57:42

the entire time. I thought it was

1:57:44

so funny. I completely agree. I'm gonna

1:57:46

give it a two because I did

1:57:48

like audibly like ah what at the

1:57:50

mirror not the mirror the window there

1:57:52

where she walks up with the wine

1:57:54

and he's looking in the window but

1:57:56

it is just funny it's not like

1:57:58

a really threatening scare. anything but I

1:58:00

did yell so I have to give it

1:58:03

at least a two. I'm gonna give it

1:58:05

a one and that's the scary scale. So

1:58:07

time. We are doing They Cloned

2:00:20

Tyrone. I am super stoked.

2:00:23

It is on Netflix, easily accessible

2:00:25

with an amazing cast, John Boyega,

2:00:27

Jamie Foxx. It's going to be awesome.

2:00:29

I remember when we hit Netflix, we got a lot

2:00:32

of DMs to our horror version Instagram that's asking us

2:00:34

to do it. So I'm excited to see it. From

2:00:37

what I understand, it's like a horror comedy, sort of

2:00:39

like this one was. So I'm more

2:00:41

on board for the horror comedy lane.

2:00:43

So I'm excited to see it. Yeah,

2:00:45

it'll be great. So, Mikey, do you

2:00:47

have a review for us to read?

2:00:49

No, I don't have one. Well, while

2:00:51

you're looking one up, let me read

2:00:53

a Spotify comment that someone left on

2:00:55

our most recent The Lost Boys episode

2:00:57

and that is from Mirai Moon and

2:00:59

they say, finally a movie with a

2:01:02

character who subscribes to star. Yay! Because

2:01:04

he's all about star in that movie.

2:01:06

I thought that that was very funny.

2:01:09

That was great. But Mikey, whose

2:01:11

review you're going to read this week? BKDew.

2:01:13

Well, what do they have to say? They

2:01:15

say title of the review, Lake Mungo. Oh,

2:01:18

I know. I see

2:01:20

a request coming. Love this

2:01:22

podcast of the host and thank you. Can't

2:01:24

wait to hear their thoughts on Lake Mungo

2:01:26

when they get to it. Keep doing what

2:01:28

you're doing, Five Stars. I watched Lake Mungo

2:01:30

in Kansas City by myself when I couldn't

2:01:32

sleep and it was

2:01:34

scary. Okay. Well, thank you

2:01:37

for that awesome Five Star review and if you

2:06:21

that's how they had sex when they were

2:06:23

aliens. Is that how they have sex now?

2:06:25

So they don't, they don't do that. They

2:06:27

demolition men style just put their heads together.

2:06:29

Oh yeah, that famous scene and demolition man

2:06:32

when he definitely has sex with someone who's

2:06:34

in his direct family line. Yeah. Ruined

2:06:37

in Patreon. I still love that movie though.

2:06:43

Bo Eazy is holding Ally and tells Vix

2:06:45

and Avery to come over there with their

2:06:48

laser gun and, and Jeremy

2:06:50

with his laser eyes and he's like, she's not

2:06:53

a mermaid. This is all a lie. I need

2:06:55

you to cut up the middle. And so they

2:06:57

cut up her fin in the middle and it

2:06:59

turns into two fin legs, but

2:07:02

computerized versions of it. Nice. Okay.

2:07:04

So it's like, she's just wearing

2:07:06

like a scuba diving,

2:07:08

like flippers on the end of

2:07:10

her feet, but it's still scales and stuff

2:07:12

like a mermaid, but it's mermaid legs. But

2:07:14

can she operate them independently? Like she could

2:07:17

watch. She is a bipedal

2:07:19

creature now because it's computer world and

2:07:21

they cut her down the, down the

2:07:23

middle. Right. Mr. Rage Mom has created

2:07:25

a bunch of his little bombs and they're dancing. And that's

2:07:28

what I say about that. And

2:07:30

they're, they're dancing. Yeah. They're just, he's having

2:07:32

them dance and entertain the town's viruses

2:07:35

or whatever the fuck computer programs or whatever

2:07:37

is going on in this world. You know,

2:07:39

when the computer program gets off their hard

2:07:41

day of computer programming and they go back

2:07:43

to their home and just relax, that's the

2:07:45

whole concept of Tron. It sort of is,

2:07:47

which is, yeah,

2:07:49

we don't need to do

2:07:51

it. Aaron's, Aaron's firing

2:07:54

her arrows of light

2:07:56

and then sex caliber

2:07:58

bones a lot is. Catching them

2:08:00

with his power glove which just looks

2:08:02

like a glowy fist on his arm

2:08:05

It just looks like his own he has a he's

2:08:07

wearing a glove of power basically So it's not just

2:08:10

like a clever name like it is what it is

2:08:13

Yeah, it is what it is. And then

2:08:15

in the distance the men's show up as

2:08:17

fighters and Wes

2:08:19

who is now just a giant computerized jet

2:08:21

ski says Libby get on and they fly

2:08:23

towards them and Libby jumps off and cuts

2:08:25

one and two with her lightsaber and

2:08:27

but then West gets shot

2:08:29

down by the other fighters and crashes

2:08:32

into the computerized Landscape and

2:08:34

that's the end of the episode. Oh, no, I guess
