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

Why did you come in? Look I'm

29:16
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
that's like really weird. I was like, I want a
33:06
snow comb maker Mom
33:10
was like say less You
33:15
know what my fully ass adult son
33:18
I do want to get you a snow
33:20
cone maker And
33:22
it's the ultra one It
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,
1:36:38
that peach not really there. Paige
1:36:40
was really in there. I was in
1:36:42
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

watching this until we were going to do an episode

on it and I've wanted to watch it the whole
2:00:18
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

she's like, also, you
2:05:43
really need to picture
2:05:45
yourself healthy. Yeah. You
2:05:47
need to like picture yourself being well and like
2:05:50
really project that out if you want to get
2:05:52

2:06:07
I still like you even
2:06:09
though I don't know if we're aliens or not
2:06:11
because of what's going on with this. Do you
2:06:13
think we're aliens? And then she's like, just make
2:06:16
butt love to me. What
2:06:18
did she say? That's right, that's right. But
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
