And you're listening to Too Scary
0:44
Didn't Watch. Hi
0:52
everyone. Welcome to Too Scary Didn't Watch, the
0:54
horror movie recap podcast for those too scared
0:56
to watch for themselves. I'm Emily and I
0:58
am too scared to watch scary movies. I'm
1:01
Henley and I'm also too scared to watch scary movies. I'm
1:04
Sami and I love watching scary movies, and
1:06
so I watch them so that you don't
1:08
have to. And I felt
1:11
like we've been having a little too much fun
1:13
lately. No! Sami! That
1:16
is not okay. Sami! So we
1:18
got a not fun one today.
1:20
Oh man! Darn!
1:23
And yet I'm excited about it. She
1:25
has a huge goddamn grin on her
1:28
face. This
1:30
girl is elated. Oh, I
1:32
really am. But if
1:35
you want to get straight to the recap of this
1:37
week's movie, you can navigate using
1:39
the time stamps in the show notes.
1:42
Because before we get into it, I want to know,
1:45
did anything scary happen to you guys this week?
1:48
Henley, you've got a little grin on your face. Did something
1:50
scary happen to you this week? Okay,
1:54
I watched the show. I didn't finish it.
1:56
I actually couldn't finish it. I watched spoilers.
1:58
Or I read spoilers instead. I
2:00
watched one day on Netflix. Have
2:03
you guys seen this? Oh, it
2:05
is definitely being heavily promoted It
2:13
okay, so it's based off of a book
2:15
written by David Nichols and then we
2:17
made a movie about it That was
2:19
apparently very bad. Is it is it
2:21
the guy from my lotus? Yes Little
2:24
okay, well, yeah. Yeah. Yes.
2:26
Okay New actress
2:29
I've never seen her in anything and Bika I
2:32
don't know how pronounced name mod is the premise that
2:34
it takes place over like 20 years and
2:36
it's just those same two actors Yes, God,
2:38
it's funny when they do that. I
2:41
really think it's funny. Oh Man,
2:43
okay. So do you guys know anything about it?
2:45
No It
2:50
is so upsetting oh
2:53
no Oh It's
2:56
so sad what Oh That
2:59
is not the vibe I was getting from
3:01
the trailer. I say looks like a rom-com
3:04
It is it's kind of a rock. Well,
3:06
that's that's the reason why that's it's a
3:08
wrong. No calm wrong
3:11
no calm That's
3:13
part of what makes it so sad is that
3:15
they lull you into feeling like you're saying. Oh,
3:17
no, but you are not and Essentially
3:20
they can see it is that yes,
3:22
you're following these two characters
3:25
who meet the last day of school in
3:28
Edinburgh and for
3:30
one day for the next 20 years you see like
3:32
the course of their relationship and their lives and
3:37
It's such an easy binge watch because
3:39
the episodes are only between like 20 and 30
3:41
minutes a lot of them only 22 minutes long
3:44
Yeah, and you immediately want to
3:46
watch the next one because the next one is a
3:48
year later So you're like where the fuck are they
3:50
a year later? Like you're immediately you you
3:53
want to know and I'm thinking Had
3:55
had they aged these actors up in one year increments?
4:00
You know, it wasn't that,
4:03
that's a really good question. I would love
4:05
a deep dive with, you know, costume and
4:08
makeup people on how they thought about that.
4:11
But it isn't, it's
4:13
a drastic age change in some ways, but in
4:16
other ways it's not really. What are they? How
4:18
younger and they start? How? I think
4:21
that they're like, I don't think it's a full 20 years.
4:23
I think they're probably like 22 to 38 or something like that. Yeah,
4:27
I mean, I guess. You know? They
4:29
make them look young at 22. Like
4:32
she has completely different hair and
4:35
terrible style and they basically make her more
4:37
put together as
4:39
she gets older. That's
4:41
realistic. Yeah. But
4:45
the fucking A you guys, I didn't
4:48
watch the final episode because I kept
4:50
reading these headlines that was like gut
4:52
wrenching new series or. You will want
4:54
to die after you. Exactly.
4:57
Exactly. And I was like, fuck, fuck, fuck.
4:59
I don't think I can do it. I don't think I can do
5:02
it. So then I just read spoilers and I know what happens and
5:04
I was like, I, okay, it's fine. I can watch it. I can
5:06
watch it. So I was like, fetching it and then I
5:09
like turn it off and then I would turn it back on a bit. And
5:11
we just fucking watch it. You know what's going to
5:13
happen? Just let it happen. Just let it happen. And
5:15
then I would turn it off. Oh no. I don't
5:17
have a thing to end. But
5:19
Leo Waddell, is that how you say his name? He
5:22
is for dreamy. I
5:25
like have a crush on him now. Is
5:27
he British in it? Yeah, he's
5:29
British. He's really cute. And
5:33
I don't get like crushes on actors
5:35
a lot. So it was
5:37
nice to feel that way. Nice. Yeah, I
5:39
can't relate to that at all. I think I get a crush on
5:41
every single actor I've ever seen on screen. Every
5:44
single one. It's a huge problem
5:47
for me. I just don't. I
5:49
wish that I did because it makes watching things
5:51
so much more fun. He
5:54
is a, he kind of is despicable in this
5:56
series in a lot of ways. So you're not completely
5:58
in love with him. None
6:00
a really come here and the first
6:02
episode is an ad season attacks the
6:05
whole time and sometimes men just the
6:07
good and attacks or and unpacks underlined
6:09
do that for a man. Anyway,
6:11
I recommend it if you want to see all.
6:14
The. Time side it's yet I
6:16
we you're more interested. I'm lessons
6:18
and preset by bell use. You've
6:20
convinced me. sad Feel bad. About.
6:25
My scientists quit and it's a quick
6:27
watch, you know? Ah, it's pretty immediately
6:30
it entertaining Santa, you know I'm I'm
6:32
actually looking for a show to watch
6:34
for the whole rest of the day
6:37
after he finishes thirty or so. They
6:41
added a similar thing they're watching a show in
6:43
a character died in and like a with i
6:45
recent like this outbreak sounded very upsetting years i
6:47
guess the in a tinge central character but like
6:50
I really hated it and I had to like.
6:53
Keep. Telling myself like this wasn't real,
6:55
like this was a real hadn't gotten
6:57
us in a real person slight. It's
6:59
really hard sometimes. I
7:02
know this any wanna you wanna be real
7:04
but as also I love it when I
7:07
love a so you know for those the
7:09
great or yes glorious thirty six hours and
7:11
I still had the show and my last
7:13
oh is so exciting to sit down and.
7:16
Now I had a Sierra Leone Hard to our
7:18
that is really nice. Feels good.
7:20
Really kills Can. Really
7:22
does He went of his eyes.
7:26
Are your weeks? While I
7:28
I are wrapped up my job, I
7:30
had my last day on Friday them
7:33
and I have a whole week off.
7:35
And I guess what theory is I'm already
7:37
like I don't many times you anything like
7:39
that I've started. Yeah about what I had
7:42
all these thoughts as years I'm in India,
7:44
my week off. Wow I'm an egg. I'm
7:46
gonna do this project community these alter a
7:48
sans I'm gonna go to this story that
7:50
stuff and enemy like Alamo down with on
7:52
I don't mind. Last I. I
7:54
drove. Sammy home same
7:56
in July where where our friends healthily
7:59
and drove saying. Which meant I had to
8:01
make space in the back of my car and was immediately
8:03
like oh my god I have my car is full
8:05
of shit. I've been meaning to do for Literally
8:09
months clothes need to be donated Pox
8:12
just needs to be returned and I
8:14
I'm I'm like I I The
8:16
week is already gone. The week is already gone. I
8:18
don't have any time to do anything. It won't be
8:20
relaxing at all How
8:23
do you like it's just because I haven't had
8:25
time to live my life and And
8:28
all of a sudden I'm like I have to get everything done
8:30
this week So I'll never have time again because then I'm gonna
8:32
start another job Emily you're really
8:34
speaking my language because as you
8:36
know, I have not had a full-time
8:38
job in Months
8:41
now possibly approaching the
8:43
year mark no,
8:46
no, it's not that long but I Still
8:50
have that feeling I'm still like catching
8:52
up with stuff That
8:55
the hell it it's it's a
8:57
very interesting thing that happens in your brain where
9:02
When you have important things to do
9:04
like you have children or you have
9:06
a job that is just a priority
9:08
and yeah You don't know other things
9:10
the other things get filed to a
9:12
lesser Importance level and you don't stress
9:14
about those things. But once you
9:17
don't have those things focus on then those
9:20
Lower tier things become extremely
9:23
anxiety inducing and they're all the
9:26
same. They're all important Yes.
9:28
Yeah, and it's so hard to prioritize This
9:30
is really resonating with me because I'll have like a
9:32
free hour or two and all of a sudden I'll
9:34
be like What
9:37
do I do with my hour like it
9:39
feels like an avalanche of things
9:42
and I am paralyzed and just sit
9:44
and look at my phone and don't
9:47
Yeah I'm
9:49
like I woke up this morning It I like
9:53
was laying in bed and that thing in the morning where it's
9:55
like you're trying to go back to sleep But then you can't
9:57
really I just started thinking about all the things we needed to
9:59
do when was I gonna do
10:01
them and was
10:03
immediately like well I guess
10:06
this week off is already full
10:09
of tasks and it's not gonna be any fun
10:11
and that's not true I am gonna relax Joel
10:14
and I are going to Madonna Inn. That is
10:16
book that is like required relaxation time I can't
10:18
do my errands while I'm at Madonna Inn so
10:20
that was a good choice and
10:22
I'm grateful for the week off but it is I
10:25
just all of a sudden was
10:27
like oh okay so
10:30
I have stuff I still have stuff to
10:32
do and this feeling of like
10:34
you're never gonna get this opportunity again when are you
10:36
ever gonna get on one week off without jobs you
10:38
know between you know it's like so it also feels
10:40
like you better get all the projects done that you
10:43
have been waiting to do because this is your
10:45
one shot so
10:48
this is giving me anxiety I'm
10:50
sorry you
10:52
need to time block your days Monday and
10:55
Tuesday are tasks days and you just like
10:57
fucking yeah do it all yeah do it
10:59
all make some lists I love to make
11:02
a list I have an
11:04
app that's just called calendar oh
11:06
that's a great idea that I
11:08
prefer or it's called calendars excuse
11:10
me thank you and I do
11:12
pay for it but it's cheap
11:14
and I prefer it to Google's
11:17
layout it just really I'm gonna look
11:20
into this for me and you can
11:22
add tasks and I literally
11:24
put everything in a calendar because
11:26
yeah the smallest things
11:28
like doing dishes or what I'm like it's
11:31
in the calendar because oh I love that
11:33
and I can stress
11:35
about it less because I so I
11:39
spend every Monday planning out my whole week that's like
11:41
the first thing I do Monday morning and I love
11:43
that I don't have to stress anymore and I'm like
11:45
well the whole week's planned out now and so I
11:47
don't have to feel like I have to do everything
11:49
at once because now I've been a jeweled that laundry
11:51
is on Thursday so I don't have to like freak
11:53
out about it very I think I need to get
11:55
back that's you know what that's gonna be a goal
11:58
as I move into this next job is
12:01
get like having a better plan and
12:03
letting because that it is relaxing to
12:06
like know when things are happening. My
12:08
one of my co-workers as a as
12:10
a gift you know leaving gift got
12:12
me a planning journal which
12:15
I do love. I do love a planner. God I love
12:17
a planner. So maybe today I'm going to take
12:19
a look at that planner and I'm going to write some things down. Yeah
12:22
it just it it it lessens the
12:24
stress when
12:26
you can yeah put
12:28
it down on paper and just be like well I don't have to worry
12:30
about it right now because I can do that then. Like that's what I
12:32
did when I was in school but I haven't lived that way you know
12:34
what I mean but like that that's what it that's why you have like
12:37
little planners when you're in school because you have to be like well I'm
12:39
gonna do this classes work from this to this time but then I have
12:41
to do this classes and we can think about life
12:43
that way you know we can think about life that way. I
12:46
simply have to it is not an
12:48
option for me to not have that
12:50
because otherwise I have this feeling of
12:52
avalanche like we're describing. If I don't
12:55
put everything on paper in
12:57
designated time slots then it
12:59
feels like it all needs to happen right now.
13:02
Oh god. Oh you guys I
13:04
did this I put everything into time slots. Oh
13:07
it didn't. Your children don't
13:09
know what your time slots are. I feel
13:11
like that's that's the problem there. I
13:14
like spend so much time doing it I was like
13:16
this is exactly how I'm gonna spend my days well
13:18
a lot you better believe I haven't fucking done one
13:20
thing in one of those time slots like not once.
13:22
Well how could you possibly. Instead
13:24
I live off of these little my
13:26
mother-in-law actually got me this like pile
13:28
of paper. I keep on my desk. A
13:31
pile of paper very sweet. And
13:33
I just I literally
13:35
like just write on these little pieces of
13:38
paper and that I do love that's the
13:40
only way I can and I
13:42
have to do it like within like a certain
13:44
time period if I do it too far
13:47
in advance. I'm
13:49
not looking at this again. I'm looking at
13:51
this again. No honestly this was really helpful for
13:53
me. This is helpful
13:55
for me. Okay good. Piles of paper.
13:57
I'll send you this app. We
14:00
all need we all need little systems
14:02
in place, you know and how many I think a big
14:04
part of it Is this
14:06
like even if the plan goes awry? I think
14:09
there's something to setting the plan to
14:12
Intentional, you know, yeah. Yeah, if I
14:14
had a Toddler in
14:16
control of my day like they're
14:19
not gonna they don't they're chaos machines
14:21
Like they don't fucking know what is
14:23
on the paper. Yeah, that's as
14:25
a chaos machine and so is
14:27
may they're both chaos machines Cute
14:29
though. They're fucking cute Sami
14:35
right Sammy. Let's do it. Let's just
14:37
just how to hear my you gotta
14:43
Know you're really excited to
14:45
get to the bad feeling
14:47
time My scary
14:49
things not actually scary. It's more of
14:51
a plug. It's I guess it's a
14:53
little scary. I have a Documentary
14:56
series that I worked on coming
14:58
out on March 5th on Netflix
15:01
So it's a little scary to create something
15:04
and put it into the world. Absolutely
15:07
The show is called the program Collins
15:10
cults and kidnapping it is
15:13
about the troubled teen industry.
15:15
It is not a fun
15:17
watch Mmm,
15:20
but I am very proud
15:22
of it and I
15:24
am excited that it's finally coming out because I
15:26
actually finished working on it about a year ago
15:28
and I don't
15:31
know what took this long, but who knows?
15:35
But it's finally coming out and I'm
15:38
excited for people to see it It's
15:41
really important. It's really important. I think that
15:43
not enough people know that this industry exists
15:46
and so it's so so wild It's
15:49
so just trying to feel bad for sure It's
15:52
feel bad. But yes, these but
15:54
I'm excited still exist. I feel
15:56
like a
15:59
point of reference that some people may know
16:01
is that Paris Hilton was in one of these
16:03
programs. She
16:06
was in one that's the same
16:09
company that we focus on in
16:11
this documentary series. We're focusing on
16:14
a company called Wasp. It's the
16:16
worldwide association of specialty programming. That
16:19
might not be correct but something like that. And
16:22
they're basically the umbrella company that started
16:24
all these programs
16:28
in different states that
16:30
are just privately run.
16:32
Nobody is
16:35
accredited with any
16:38
like professional degrees. The teachers are not
16:41
teachers. The counselors
16:43
have no licenses. Like they're basically
16:45
just people hired from the community
16:48
and given pamphlets
16:51
of how to do jobs that they're
16:53
in no way qualified for. And because
16:57
they are privately
16:59
run, there's no
17:02
oversight. There's no rules
17:04
or regulations that they have to
17:06
follow. These places are perfect
17:09
places for child abuse to happen
17:12
and that's kind of worked into
17:14
some of the language
17:16
of the way
17:19
that they run the programs because
17:21
they use the fact that teens
17:24
are being sent there because they're
17:26
in a rebellious problematic
17:29
stage of their you
17:32
know life. And so then they
17:34
tell you oh your kids are liars, your
17:36
kids are manipulators. They're gonna say that you
17:38
know bad things are happening here. Don't believe
17:40
them. And yeah it's
17:44
really devastating and they were
17:47
extremely popular in the early 2000s
17:49
and they're you know less popular
17:51
today but they still exist. And
17:54
yeah so I
17:56
hope people will check it out. It's called the
17:58
program Netflix March. And,
18:03
you know, just watch
18:06
with caution. But yeah, I
18:08
hope people watch. Yeah,
18:11
because a big part of it is that
18:13
parents didn't know exactly what they were sending their
18:15
kids into. I think parents, not
18:17
all of them, but some parents were
18:20
doing all the best intentions, thinking that
18:22
they were doing the best thing they
18:24
could for their kid. And
18:27
the places are like propaganda machines.
18:30
Yeah, it was at the time when
18:33
there was a lot of focus on tough love.
18:36
Yeah. Oh, I know.
18:40
Well, proud of you, Sammy. Thank you,
18:43
Henley. You're amazing. Thank
18:45
you. And
18:49
now, without further ado, Henley,
18:51
we can talk about this
18:53
week's movie. Okay.
18:55
Which is Eden Lake. It
18:58
came out in 2008, written
19:01
and directed by James Watkins,
19:04
starring Kelly Riley, Michael Fassbender,
19:06
and Jack O'Connell. And it
19:08
is streaming on Free V. Free
19:11
V! Free V! Free V
19:13
keeps coming up in my life. There's something else that
19:15
was on Free V that I was trying to watch.
19:18
Jury duty? No, I
19:20
didn't remember what it was. I've never
19:22
heard of this movie. Me either. No?
19:25
No. I had definitely heard
19:27
of it. In my
19:29
brain, it was kind of lumped
19:31
into a torture porny time. No.
19:35
I wouldn't call it torture porn,
19:37
but it's
19:39
2008, you know? This was, yeah, we
19:41
were kind of in good time for it. This
19:43
is a British film and so I don't know.
19:47
It was like living in the same
19:49
place in my mind as like Inside
19:51
and High Tension,
19:54
even though they're French films,
19:56
but I
19:58
think it's roughly this. same time.
20:00
Did you like it, Sami? I did
20:02
like it, yes. Okay,
20:05
okay. All right. Don't
20:07
let that soothe you, Henley. You
20:09
know, I remember kind of enjoying
20:11
high tension. Yeah. I
20:14
like high tension. I like high tension as well.
20:17
I'm gonna love this one. Okay, yeah. I
20:19
think maybe we're in for... Yay!
20:22
Thank you. Thank you. Eden
20:25
Lake has an 81% on Rotten Tomatoes, 65% on
20:27
Metacritic and a 6.7 on IMDB. Standard.
20:35
Budget was $2 million. It made $4
20:37
million. Okay, so,
20:39
you know, doubled it's money. Doubled
20:43
it's money. It's nothing to sneeze
20:45
at. I
20:47
couldn't really find much trivia
20:49
about it other than this
20:51
is James Watkins' directorial
20:54
debut. Movies
20:56
of Crisp, 91 Minutes. Ooh!
21:00
And it's, like I said, a British film
21:02
filmed in England. Great.
21:05
That's all I got. I'll sprinkle some
21:07
more trivia in throughout but... Okay,
21:09
great. I think let's
21:12
just get into this recap. Let's do it.
21:14
Okay, let's do it. It's
21:17
the bleakest time of the year, so you know what that means.
21:19
We deserve to get cozy on the couch,
21:21
re-watch our favorite TikTok videos, and drink a
21:23
goddamn glass of wine. If you ever struggle
21:26
to pick out the right bottle, you will
21:28
love our next sponsor, Naked Wines.
21:31
Did you know that when you buy wine today, most of
21:33
the money goes to things like fancy
21:35
packaging, big budget marketing campaigns,
21:38
and tax? That is
21:40
crazy. Naked Wines is a subscription service
21:42
that seamlessly connects you to the finest
21:44
independent winemakers on the planet, so you
21:46
get a box of the market's best
21:48
quality wines however often you'd like for
21:50
a fraction of the price you'd normally
21:52
pay in stores. And hold onto
21:54
your butts, you guys, because the deal they have for
21:57
you is insane. Just wait. So how do they do
21:59
it? Naked Wines connects winemakers and
22:01
wine drinkers directly, allowing for vineyard
22:03
to door delivery at up to
22:05
60% off what you would normally
22:07
pay in a store. By cutting
22:09
out the traditional retail middleman costs
22:11
and markups, winemakers can pass those
22:13
savings on to you without skimping
22:16
on quality. I can't stop
22:18
talking about Naked Wines. I love
22:20
that their quiz matches you with bottles that
22:22
you love and each shipment includes wines they
22:24
recommend based on your previous ratings. I
22:26
am currently loving their organic
22:28
options, especially the Chris Condo's
22:30
Cabernet from Benucino County. And
22:33
they've been around for 10 years and they fund
22:36
over 90 independent winemakers. So
22:38
with no commitments or membership fees, you
22:40
can enjoy Naked Wines hassle free. And
22:42
the best part, every bottle is a
22:44
passion project from an independent winemaker so

22:48
come true. So head to

now and I recently just tried their
23:34
fits everybody t-shirt bra. You
23:36
guys, my boobs have never looked
23:38
better. But more importantly, I also
23:41
don't have the urge to immediately remove
23:43
my bra the second I'm home. Normally
23:46
I find bras to be so uncomfortable
23:48
and constricting, especially after, you know, a
23:50
few years of the pandemic, few years
23:52
of staying inside with some newborn babies.
23:55
I don't like to wear a bra.
23:57
I don't have to, but the skims
23:59

24:01

24:54
join us. For more information about Let's
24:56

24:59
sierraclub.org/podcasts. Okay
25:02
so I'm gonna start by bragging
25:04
that immediately this music the
25:07
music that starts our opening scene I said
25:09
that sounds like the music
25:11
from The Descent. Looked it up same composer.
25:13
I have wow. Wow. He has
25:16
it to the Descent so well but
25:18
loves her horror soundtracks. To be fair
25:20
it genuinely sounds at times like they
25:22
just used the the main it is
25:26
like it's almost exactly
25:28
the same. So
25:31
we are seeing our
25:34
protagonist her name is
25:36
Jenny Greengrass. Oh. Little
25:39
on the nose there. Nothing
25:42
could be bad in Jenny Greengrass's
25:44
life. That's really funny. She
25:47
is a teacher teaching
25:49
a class full of young
25:52
students and class
25:54
is out for the weekend. It's the end
25:56
of the school day. Her boyfriend Steve
25:59
is picking up her up for
26:01
a romantic weekend getaway. This is
26:03
Michael Fassbender. Hard for
26:05
me to see him as a guy named Steve. I don't know
26:07
why. I agree. Anyway,
26:11
which is funny because Michael is a standard
26:14
name as well. Michael and Steve are
26:16
the same. Yeah, Michael and Steve are
26:18
the same to be honest, but Steve
26:20
is, maybe it's just the V. Baby,
26:22
the V is throwing me. Yeah, it's not
26:24
right. It doesn't match. It doesn't sort of
26:26
fit. So was
26:29
that a relevant point to bring up? I
26:31
mean, I keep it on this topic. Let's
26:33
stay here. Let's stay here. What
26:36
are letters might be framed
26:38
for his face? Steve. Yeah, there's
26:40
a TikTok trend, I
26:43
will say, where people go on and say, what do you think
26:45
my name is? And people
26:47
comment and then they reveal what their real name
26:49
is. And then I have people rename them
26:51
for what? Yes, yes. And
26:54
it's actually really fun to see. Yeah,
26:56
I'm into this. I like when Joel
26:58
and I take walks around the reservoir
27:00
and we pass dogs, we
27:03
have to name the dog. Pongo.
27:05
All of them are named Pongo.
27:09
You know what? We've never
27:11
named Pongo, but I really do like that.
27:13
Yeah, that's nice. So I
27:16
get it. And I like this trend. But
27:19
I guess we're going to go
27:21
with Steve. Yeah, unfortunately, his name
27:24
in this is Steve. And
27:26
before she gets into the car,
27:28
we see that Steve has an
27:30
engagement ring. So she's planning to
27:33
pop the question on this romantic
27:35
weekend. She gets in
27:37
the car, they are clearly very
27:39
much in love and they're
27:41
headed out to Eden Lake
27:45
for the weekend. They
27:49
stop at a hotel on the way and
27:51
they're seeing
27:55
the clientele at the
27:58
hotel are a little like Here,
28:02
let's get some historical context here.
28:05
So, I looked
28:07
into this. There was a
28:10
term used in this, around
28:13
this time in Britain from
28:15
like 2007 to 2010, the Conservative
28:19
Party used the term broken
28:21
Britain a lot to describe
28:25
a perceived widespread state of
28:27
social decay under the
28:29
Labor Party Prime Minister Gordon
28:32
Brown. So, just kind of
28:34
a political thing that was
28:36
happening is that they were like saying, oh, this, you
28:38
know, country is like going to shit, broken Britain. And
28:41
this was also a time of chavs. Have you
28:43
guys heard of the term chavs? No. It's
28:46
like, I feel like it was kind of Britain's
28:48
version of Jersey Shore type
28:51
of vibe. Okay. Yeah. Yeah.
28:55
It's a very offensive word that was used
28:57
to describe like essentially poor people. It's
29:00
like working class Brits. Like
29:03
almost like when we say like white
29:05
trash like that kind of vibe. And
29:10
so, the chavs
29:13
would wear, oh, and it's also chav,
29:17
I don't know if this is actually how the
29:19
name originated. There's like a few different
29:21
ways that this term could have originated,
29:24
but it's often referred
29:26
to as an acronym for council housed
29:28
and violent. So it's like people that
29:30
live in public housing and... Oh, Lord.
29:33
So it's this
29:36
like demonization of
29:38
poor people as violent
29:40
criminals. And this
29:43
is just something that was I think
29:45
in the media a lot at this time.
29:48
They're just like us. I was going to
29:50
say never again and we have nothing, no
29:52
idea what that's like. So
29:56
we're seeing at this hotel some of
29:58
the other people staying. there seem
30:01
to be of the chav
30:03
variety and like poor people,
30:06
there's a kid that's really screaming and Steve says
30:08
he's about to say that looks like this kid
30:10
could use a slap. You can like tell that
30:13
that's what he's about to say and but before
30:15
you can even say it, the mom slaps the
30:17
kid and so we're
30:20
and then they're willing to go. So
30:24
and these people are
30:26
drinking and like yelling at each other and
30:29
they're like a little Steve
30:31
and Jenny look a little out
30:33
of place here and she's saying
30:36
like are you sure Ian Lake
30:38
is like a nice getaway
30:40
and he's like yeah, yeah, he's familiar
30:43
with it from his childhood. He's like it at
30:45
least like it used to be beautiful.
30:48
You're gonna love it. I swear once we get there, you're
30:50
gonna love it. It's gorgeous. So
30:54
we continue on the next
30:56
day and make it to the lake
30:58
and it is very beautiful and as
31:02
they're walking through this forest,
31:05
it's pretty remote
31:09
and they have to walk through
31:11
this forest to get to the lake and
31:13
they pass by a little kid named Adam
31:15
who's a little quiet and strange and they're
31:18
trying to Jenny's trying to
31:20
I don't know just talk to him because
31:22
she's a teacher and she loves kids but
31:25
he's being very standoffish. So
31:27
they don't does
31:29
he have a tongue? Great question.
31:31
He does have a tongue. Oh, I already I already
31:34
this movie is great. I love
31:36
it. We'll see if he keeps
31:38
his tongue. We'll
31:40
see if he keeps his tongue. Remember
31:46
that everybody had tongues at the beginning of the
31:48
movie you're referring to? Oh, no, they didn't. They
31:50
didn't. Not everybody. Not
31:52
everybody. Not everybody did. You're right.
31:55
Not everybody. Okay, so they set
31:57
up their towels and cool.
32:00
cooler picnic, whatever by the lake. It's
32:04
seeming like they're having a nice time.
32:06
Everything's actually turning out
32:09
pretty well until a
32:12
group of teens sets
32:17
up next to them and
32:21
genuinely, teenagers really
32:23
are horrible. They're
32:26
horrible. They're horrible. So bad.
32:28
Yeah, they're really – even the best of
32:30
them are so bad. There's just nothing to
32:32
be done. And it's horrible
32:34
to be a teenager. It's like in packs.
32:36
You get like two
32:39
teens together and oh, no. I
32:42
think I talked about this already on the
32:44
podcast, but when I went to see Godzilla
32:47
minus one, there was a
32:49
row of teenagers behind me
32:52
just being so fucking
32:54
obnoxious and someone told them
32:56
to be quiet and I'm like, you can't
32:58
do that. You cannot talk to teens. That's
33:02
the thing about teens. A losing battle here.
33:04
They like it when they make you mad.
33:06
They are impenetrable.
33:12
There's no defense against a group of teens.
33:15
And they know it. They fucking know it.
33:18
Wait, did I tell you guys about what the
33:20
Fourth of July party I saw on Long Beach?
33:22
Did I tell you guys about this? No. It's
33:25
the strangest bay in Long Beach. There's a
33:28
teen party that happens every year during the
33:30
daytime. And it's – I've never
33:32
seen this many – so Tim's family goes
33:34
there every year and it's usually very peaceful.
33:36
It's on the bay. There's lots of children
33:38
because there are no waves, whatever. Fourth
33:41
of July, the teens come out in
33:43
an actual pack and
33:45
it was insane. It was like 2
33:48
p.m. like you couldn't see
33:50
the sand. There were so many teens. There
33:52
were so many fucking teens. And
33:54
the craziest part was that there was
33:56
a Long Beach police boat.
34:00
ship. It was all
34:02
gray, like looked like it was about
34:04
to go into battle. Just a bobbing
34:06
right in front of the teens.
34:09
Oh, my God. They're all drinking,
34:11
smoking, doing whatever the fuck they're
34:13
doing, like raging, blaring music. Police
34:16
just bobbing, watching them. Obviously it's
34:18
all white kids. So like that
34:20
probably makes a difference. But I
34:22
was like, what is going
34:24
on? There is clearly underage drinking happening. Why
34:26
aren't you like doing anything about it? Oh,
34:29
my God. I don't understand. That's so
34:31
powerful that even the cops. They're
34:33
so powerful. They're so powerful. They're
34:35
so intervene. They are absolutely terrifying.
34:38
Oh, my God.
34:40
It was crazy. Well, this
34:43
isn't that many teens. It's like six of them
34:45
though. But yeah, like we said, even two is
34:47
too many. Yeah, six is a lot, I would
34:49
say. And they have a vibe
34:51
similar to what you were just describing.
34:53
They're blasting music. They have a big
34:56
Rottweiler dog with them that's barking and
34:58
not on a leash. And
35:01
it comes in, it's like barking
35:03
in Jenny's face. Pretty scary
35:06
dog. And they
35:08
ask them to turn their
35:11
music down. Oh, no. Which
35:13
you just can't do. You can't
35:16
do it. You cannot do it.
35:18
You gotta just leave. You gotta exit
35:20
the premises. You have to leave. Oh,
35:22
there is a moment in the hotel
35:25
from the night before where the people
35:29
in the room next to them are screaming at
35:32
each other and Jenny tells
35:34
Steve, can you go tell them to keep
35:36
it down? And she's kind of joking about
35:38
it. But then she makes
35:40
a comment like, are you a man or a mouse?
35:43
And so I think that's
35:45
maybe... Spurring some
35:48
of that now. And he's mind
35:50
now that he's got to stand
35:52
up for himself and
35:54
his girlfriend. And so
35:56
he's like, I won't be bullied
35:58
by these teens. teens, but
36:01
sir, yes you will, yes you will.
36:03
Yeah, good fucking luck, you always will.
36:06
So of course, you know, they are
36:11
not turning their music down, they're being
36:13
little shits. The
36:15
music is so loud that the main guy
36:18
played by Jack O'Connell who I really love
36:20
Jack O'Connell but he plays
36:23
a real shitty teen and
36:27
he's saying like, can't hear you,
36:29
music's too loud, bro, bro.
36:36
So Steve gives up, obviously
36:38
defeated, he's no match for these teens
36:42
and they're trying to have a good time
36:44
but obviously the time's ruined.
36:46
This is no fun at all. I'll
36:51
describe a little bit of the other teens.
36:54
So, Jack O'Connell is the
36:56
main one. His name is
36:58
Brett, he's clearly the ringleader, the
37:00
one they all seem to be
37:02
kind of deferring to. There's
37:05
also one girl in the group, her
37:07
name is Paige. Now see,
37:09
Paige is the right name for the one
37:11
girl in a group of guys. Yup, yup,
37:13
yup. Yeah, that's interesting, that's right. Every
37:16
page I knew growing up was
37:18
like a guys' girl. Yup. I
37:21
don't know, something to think about. It's
37:25
interesting. It is interesting. We
37:27
think about it. I
37:30
don't have the other kids names down
37:32
except for there's one that looks younger
37:34
than the rest and his name is
37:36
Cooper. Hmm. They're
37:40
looking at Jenny in
37:43
binoculars, just making them
37:46
uncomfortable and they stay
37:49
the whole day and they again ruin
37:51
the whole day and eventually leave and
37:53
they walk like almost on top of
37:56
their towels. They like walk so close
37:58
to them as they leave. and
38:00
Jenny and Steve are looking at them and Paige is
38:02
like, you want to take
38:05
a photo? It'll last longer. God, that
38:07
was perfect. So,
38:11
they're gone and few of them are gone. So,
38:14
Steve and Jenny bring out
38:16
their fucking tent and I'm
38:18
like, oh my God, we're
38:21
camping. No, no, no,
38:23
no. What? They're camping at
38:26
this lakeside. So, they set up camp,
38:28
they make their little fire. Oh,
38:31
no. I'm really not happy
38:34
to see this. Me
38:36
either. It's
38:38
nighttime now. They're in the
38:41
tent. Looking
38:43
out. Then they
38:45
hear a little noise. Steve
38:48
goes out to check it out and
38:51
we hear a weird noise, like a
38:54
groaning noise. Oh, God. And
38:56
Jenny says like, Steve, stop. Stop it.
38:59
Like, you're freaking me out and
39:01
that's quiet for a while. And
39:05
then there's footsteps coming closer to the
39:07
tent and she's saying, you know, Steve,
39:09
Steve, stop. Like,
39:11
you're freaking me out. 10
39:14
tons of tips. Steve barges
39:16
in laughing. I got you so
39:18
good. No. I
39:21
hate that. That is not okay. No,
39:24
not when you're camping. And not
39:27
when you've had such a day
39:29
with teenagers. Yeah, not when they're
39:31
hostile. We will see who has
39:33
the last laugh, Steve. Indeed,
39:37
we will. But we make
39:39
it through first night okay. Wake
39:42
up in the morning. Their food, they did not,
39:44
it seems like they didn't even try to put
39:47
their food in a food safe container. It's covered
39:49
in ants and bugs. So all their food now
39:51
is ruined. So they
39:53
got to go into town, which is a couple
39:55
miles away. They
39:58
go into town. to
40:00
a diner to get breakfast and the
40:02
waitress, Steve asks the waitress, have you
40:04
seen this group of kids? We
40:07
saw them by the lake yesterday. They were a
40:09
little rowdy and she laughs it off
40:12
and is like, oh yeah, those darn
40:14
kids. And he's like, well, they were
40:16
actually like a little, I don't
40:20
know, I can't remember what he says, but like
40:22
their parents might want to know about this thing
40:24
that they did or something and the
40:29
waitress gets weirdly defensive about it and
40:31
she's like, they're not my kids. And
40:35
he's like, no, no, I'm not saying that I just
40:37
like if their parents wanted to know they were, dude,
40:39
I don't know if they were smoking
40:41
weed or something. Like he's like trying to tattle
40:43
on them essentially and this waitress
40:47
is not having it and it's like, they're
40:49
not my kids. I don't know what you want me to
40:51
do about it. And it is a really weird encounter. Also
40:53
fair. I mean, it's a waitress at a
40:56
diner. Like how would she, is it supposed
40:58
to be like an extremely small town where
41:00
this woman would know their parents? I
41:03
think it is a pretty small town and
41:05
it's just she goes
41:07
from laughing and bubbly
41:09
to like extremely pissed off really
41:11
quickly. Interesting. And it like
41:13
sours the rest of their interaction and
41:17
it's like the moment of like, oh, we were having a
41:19
fun convo and now
41:21
you don't like us anymore. And
41:23
so it's just a strange
41:26
interaction and
41:28
so they're driving back to the campsite
41:32
now when they pass
41:35
the house where they see one
41:37
of the kids like walking behind
41:39
the house. So they've tracked down that this is,
41:41
they see that this is the house of
41:44
Brett. Steve
41:48
stops. Jenny is saying no. Steve, come
41:50
on. Steve, you idiot. It's
41:53
really quite crazy. He walks up
41:55
to the house, knocks on the door. Nobody
41:58
answers. He opens it
42:01
and walks in. What?
42:05
Really crazy move
42:07
here, Steve. Making a
42:09
lot of mistakes. Just
42:13
because she said, are you a man or
42:15
a mouse? Doesn't mean you go breaking an
42:17
energy. Strange
42:20
people's houses. No. I
42:23
did spot a fire poker in this
42:25
scene. Does not come into use, unfortunately,
42:27
but I've always got an eye out
42:29
for them. So,
42:34
he goes in and
42:38
as he's, you know,
42:41
calling out and trying to say, hello,
42:43
hello, is anybody home? You
42:45
don't do this. You just simply don't do this.
42:47
Yeah, you are breaking and entering. Yeah. As
42:51
he's deep in the house, a truck
42:55
pulls into the driveway, their dad
42:57
is arriving home and he
43:00
gets, he's like, oh, shit, shit,
43:02
shit and runs upstairs. What does
43:04
he think is going to happen? To
43:06
hide? I don't
43:08
know. I don't know. Sorry. Yeah,
43:11
no, it's nuts. It's not a good plan. And
43:14
so, he's now trying to climb
43:16
out the window of Brett's room.
43:19
You can like see photos. This
43:22
is Brett's room and
43:24
outside of the window, Brett and all
43:26
his shitty little friends are playing
43:29
in the yard. And
43:32
so, he's got the dad coming up
43:34
the stairs because he's heard someone, you
43:36
know, walking around in the room and he's
43:38
about to yell at, he's thinking it's Brett.
43:42
And Steve is dangling himself
43:44
out of this window to try to
43:46
get out before the dad gets up
43:48
there. And all the
43:50
rest of the teens are just out of
43:53
like 20 feet away from him
43:55
that if they turn their heads, they're going to see him.
44:00
He jumps off the
44:02
roof, makes it back to the car, narrowly
44:06
escaping being caught by anybody.
44:11
Okay. Really? Even
44:14
imagine getting myself into that kind of
44:16
pickle. Yep.
44:20
So, okay. So now we are
44:22
driving back to the lake and
44:24
Steve's scuba diving. He's
44:28
brought scuba gear. That kind of threw me. So
44:32
he's scuba diving now. How kind of lake is this?
44:34
Yeah. It's pretty big but I wouldn't
44:36
think there'd be too much to see in it.
44:39
It's still a lake. It's not, you know,
44:42
a great barrier. Maybe he's got to swim deep.
44:46
Yeah, maybe he's practicing for the real
44:48
thing. Yeah, that's a good
44:50
idea. Yeah. Feels like a pretty
44:53
weird proposal trip. And
44:58
he, yes, as he gets
45:00
out, he's, we see him kind
45:02
of get in the ring and he's saying
45:04
it's crazy. The stuff that you can find
45:06
on the bottom of the lake. I
45:09
see that. And it's weird.
45:11
He's got this interesting proposal
45:14
plan and he's about to pop the question
45:16
when, Jenny
45:19
says, where's the beach bag? She's
45:21
looking around and their bag
45:24
is missing. Steve
45:26
puts the ring away, says what? Our
45:30
phones and car keys
45:32
and wallet are in that bag.
45:35
They go, they get up, they look, their car
45:38
is gone. And
45:41
so now they're kind
45:44
of running through the forest again to get to the main
45:46
road. And
45:49
the car almost hits
45:51
them. Brett is flooring their own car at
45:53
them. Truly murder attempt here with
45:56
their car. They
45:58
like jump out of the lake. away. Stan
46:01
L Whoa. Sarah
46:04
G Then
46:07
they follow the direction that the car is going, it's getting to be
46:09
nighttime again and they track down the group
46:11
of teens to another part of the lake
46:13
where they're having a bonfire, blasting
46:16
music again. They
46:19
Steve and Jenny walk up and say, could we
46:21
get, we don't want
46:23
any trouble man, can we just get our bag
46:25
back? Steve
46:27
says, well, I don't know what you're talking
46:30
about mate. It
46:34
ain't us, like you got the wrong person and
46:37
he's wearing sunglasses, it's nighttime. Steve
46:39
says, are those my sunglasses? He's like, no mate,
46:42
mine. Maryamie What
46:47
about their cars? They say like, we saw you driving our car. Sarah They
46:50
don't say that but they're saying like, we know that you took our bag,
46:53
just give it back. The
46:57
dog's barking and tensions
46:59
are mounting. He's just
47:01
saying, come on man, just like give us back our
47:04
bag. Jenny's saying Steve, let's
47:06
just drop it, let's just go. Steve
47:10
is, you know, stepping closer to Brett saying,
47:13
come on man, like just give us our
47:15
stuff. Somebody
47:17
shut that dog up and
47:19
he's, Steve is now getting a little
47:21
bit more in Brett's face. Brett is
47:24
stepping closer to Steve, we're getting in
47:26
each other's face. One of
47:28
the other kids pulls a knife like a little
47:30
switch blade and Steve sees it
47:32
and like
47:36
grabs his wrist and is trying
47:38
to like shake the knife free
47:41
when the dog jumps and
47:43
attacks them and the
47:46
knife stabs through the dog's jaw,
47:49
kills the dog. Oh shit.
47:52
So it was an accident but
47:55
now the dog is dead. Oh
47:57
shit. He's just saying, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry.
47:59
So sorry, give me the car keys back.
48:01
I'll drive you guys to the vet right
48:03
now. Dog's
48:05
already dead. Oh,
48:08
shit. He
48:10
sees the bag. Steve like sees the bag
48:12
somewhere I think, grabs it and
48:14
Brett is crying and screaming, you
48:17
killed my fucking dog. It's
48:20
really good, Sammy. It's really good. And
48:24
Steve and Jenny make a run for it. They grab the bag. They
48:27
see the car and get into
48:29
it, but it's nighttime and they're in the middle
48:31
of the woods. So they're driving fast,
48:36
but it seems so dangerous because
48:38
he can't see well
48:40
enough in front of him. And
48:43
so eventually they crash into a tree
48:47
and Steve gets barricaded
48:49
into his seat,
48:51
like a branch like crashes through
48:54
the window. And they basically pin
48:56
him into the truck. And
48:58
so he tells Jenny, he's like, you've got
49:00
to run, go get help. And
49:04
she because the teens are running
49:06
chasing them like screaming. You
49:08
fuckers, fucking assholes. And
49:12
so Jenny gets out and she runs,
49:14
but they're too close that they'll be
49:16
able to see her. So she hides
49:19
in some roots and like covers herself
49:21
up. Jesus. And
49:24
I guess stays there overnight
49:27
because it cuts to morning of
49:29
her coming out
49:31
of her hiding spot. What?
49:33
Did you fall asleep? I
49:36
don't know. She's like, I'm so
49:38
comfy in these sticks and leaves. And
49:40
so we didn't see what happened to
49:42
Steve. We just cut. We just
49:45
cut. And
49:47
so now
49:49
she's hearing the teens
49:52
and she's following the sound of their
49:55
voices. This is where I'm starting to
49:57
yell, Jenny, you dumb bitch, go get
49:59
help. So, like
50:01
he said, what have you been doing sleeping
50:03
all night? This
50:06
is kind of a weird decision here on Jenny's part.
50:09
But she follows the sounds of
50:11
their voices and she's hidden
50:14
behind a tree and peering around and seeing
50:16
all of them. We've got
50:18
Steve tied up with
50:21
barbed wire. He's
50:23
bleeding. They've clearly been,
50:25
you know, punching him
50:27
and he's not
50:30
looking good. And
50:33
the teens are in various
50:35
states of anger
50:38
and fear. Like some of them are like, we
50:40
can't do this man, come on, this is like
50:42
we're going too far Brett. Brett
50:46
and Paige are
50:48
the most like
50:51
pissed off and unwavering in their
50:53
like, no, we're like fucking this
50:55
guy up. That's our plan. And
50:58
so the other kids are trying to convince
51:00
them to let him go. Brett
51:04
says the second we let him go, he's calling the
51:07
cops and we're all going to be in
51:09
deep shit. So, we can't let him
51:11
go. So, what's the plan? You're
51:13
going to kill him. Teens are also so
51:15
stupid. Yeah, it's like now what? Yeah.
51:22
The other kids are trying to leave then
51:24
if they can't let Steve go and Brett
51:26
won't let them leave and is saying no,
51:28
we're all in this together. And
51:32
to ensure that he
51:34
makes each of them
51:37
stab Steve while
51:39
he films it. Each
51:42
of the other kids filming or
51:45
stabbing Steve as blackmail
51:47
essentially to be like if you don't see
51:50
through this to the end, you're
51:53
going to be fucked. So it starts
51:55
with one of the guys is crying
51:57
and does like a very small little
52:00
slice with the knife and he's like, no,
52:02
that's not enough and like makes them like
52:04
really stab him. Where? Jenny's
52:06
watching this. First in the arm, someone
52:09
stabs him in the leg and then
52:12
the last one, the youngest guy,
52:15
Cooper is really crying and like really doesn't
52:17
want to do it and for some reason
52:19
he has a box cutter instead like one
52:22
of the guys pulls out a box cutter
52:24
and is like also not hesitating
52:26
about it. And then he's
52:28
like, yeah, one guy that doesn't seem to
52:31
be too worried about stabbing him, he
52:33
pulls out his own box cutter, gives
52:36
Cooper the box cutter
52:38
and they're just like yelling at Cooper, come
52:40
on, come on, you have to stab him. Oh
52:42
my God. Cooper stabs
52:45
him in the mouth. What?
52:48
Open mouth. What? Why?
52:51
Really shocking. I just
52:53
didn't see that coming. What?
53:01
As he's like crying, yeah, he's like not happy about it
53:03
but it's like, Cooper, why did
53:05
you use that spot? Really
53:09
crazy but he's clearly like very
53:12
panicked and so
53:14
now we're all in it. There's
53:17
no good way out of this. Jenny
53:21
is watching all of this happen. She
53:23
stands there while he's stabbed four
53:26
times. I'm yelling,
53:28
Jenny, what the
53:30
fuck are you doing? Go get
53:33
help. She
53:35
does something that I don't quite understand
53:37
which is she has one of the
53:40
phones and he is Steve
53:42
has his phone, I guess they each
53:44
have their phones and she like connects
53:46
to his phone using Bluetooth to call
53:48
999 which I don't know why like
53:51
maybe she didn't have reception.
53:57
I think there's probably a reason this
53:59
happens. and it just didn't make sense to me. Okay.
54:03
So, she's trying
54:05
to call 999 from
54:07
his phone but it
54:09
rings and Brett sees it
54:12
and says like oh Bluetooth connection like
54:15
she's here somewhere like everybody spread out
54:17
and like go try to find her.
54:20
She runs, they all run after her.
54:24
They get on bikes and so they
54:27
see her running and they're chasing her on bikes
54:30
and it doesn't seem good. She's
54:32
not going to obviously be able to outrun
54:34
them and she
54:37
kind of jumps on this little
54:39
hill and throws a
54:41
branch in front of them causing them all
54:43
to crash. They're all going pretty fast so
54:45
that's good. She gets a little bit of
54:47
a gap
54:50
to run from them and she
54:52
makes it to a clearing where
54:55
there's a park ranger service
54:57
station type thing. Nobody's there
55:00
but there's
55:02
a walkie-talkie inside of this little
55:05
station and so she's trying
55:07
to get into there to get
55:10
to the walkie-talkie but if
55:12
the room is locked she's trying to like
55:14
squeeze in between the chain
55:16
on the door but it's
55:18
too small. She can't reach
55:20
the walkie-talkie and now the kids are
55:23
back chasing her again and she
55:28
is able to hide from them by
55:30
climbing on top of this little service
55:33
station. I
55:35
don't know how she did it without them noticing but
55:37
she did. So, they don't know where she is now.
55:40
They've lost her and they
55:42
continue on to go look for her so
55:44
she's able
55:47
to gather herself but
55:53
meanwhile Steve has been
55:56
left alone and he
55:58
is able to break free from this. the
56:00
barbed wire, he's bloody
56:02
stabbed like bleeding from
56:04
his mouth and all the stab wounds and
56:08
he makes
56:10
it back to their car
56:13
where they crashed and there's a
56:16
first aid kit in the back and so
56:18
he grabs that, he grabs a tire iron
56:20
as a weapon. He,
56:23
you know, sits down
56:26
next to a tree and starts
56:28
tending to his wounds and
56:30
then one of the
56:32
teens comes back to where he was tied
56:34
up, sees that he's not there, calls
56:37
Brett and says he's fucking gone.
56:40
They're like we have to find him,
56:42
everyone like run and like spread out,
56:44
see where they we need to find
56:46
them both. They cannot get out of
56:48
here. Now
56:51
Jenny's running what
56:54
she thinks is the opposite direction. That's
56:56
the other thing is like it's the
56:58
woods so and she doesn't, she's unfamiliar
57:00
with this territory and
57:03
so who's to
57:05
say what direction the road is.
57:10
It's very hard to orient yourself and
57:12
so she's running just where
57:16
she thinks she should run and
57:19
she's running very fast and
57:21
we see one of the teenagers running
57:25
looking for Steve and
57:27
Steve is like hearing him
57:29
running and as these footsteps
57:32
turn the corner, Steve just swings
57:34
that tire iron so hard and it's
57:36
Jenny but he doesn't hit her. Oh
57:39
okay. But he almost,
57:41
almost it does and
57:44
but now they're together and he's
57:47
like great where's the help you called? Yeah,
57:50
that thing I told you to do hours and
57:52
hours ago. You did seem to
57:54
use your phone to do something and
57:56
it wasn't to call for help. She's
57:59
like sorry. I took a little nap. She's like, I
58:02
felt so tired. You get it. It's like a little
58:04
nap. I was really tired. So,
58:07
she's, you know, helping carry
58:10
him. They're kind of limping
58:12
away and they find a
58:14
little shack on the
58:17
water. They go
58:19
inside. This is a very
58:21
dilapidated shack barely standing and
58:24
she locks the door behind them which
58:26
made me laugh because it's just like
58:29
essentially looks like you could blow this little
58:31
shack down. It's a huff
58:33
and puff and blow it right down. Yeah. But
58:36
so they're in there. I think they have the first aid kit
58:39
and she pulls
58:41
back his shirt to see his
58:43
wounds. So, I think one of
58:45
them stabbed him in the side
58:47
as well and it looks really
58:49
bad. It's like black blood and
58:52
he sees it and is like,
58:54
fuck, fuck, fuck. He's like, I'm
58:56
dying. Like I'm dying. I'm bleeding
58:58
out. I'm dying. Oh,
59:00
God. And she's
59:02
like, no, you're not. You're not. I need you to
59:04
like stay with me. And she's bandaging
59:08
him up best as she can. But it
59:10
does look like a really extremely
59:13
deep stab wound. And
59:17
he's losing
59:19
consciousness a bit like he's
59:21
losing a lot of blood.
59:23
And as she's wrapping him,
59:26
she finds the engagement ring
59:28
in his pocket. She
59:30
feels it and pulls it out. And he
59:34
says, you know, I thought we would maybe
59:37
go to Africa for our honeymoon. And,
59:40
you know, they just
59:42
have this moment of crying and
59:44
she puts the ring on and she's like, no,
59:46
like we're still gonna do that. Like you just
59:48
stay with me. We
59:50
hear the teens approaching and they say
59:53
something like, isn't that shack over there?
59:55
Like they know where they must be
59:57
hiding. are
1:00:01
coming fast and
1:00:03
it's seeming like we're
1:00:06
fucked. There's like nowhere for them to
1:00:08
go. But the teens
1:00:10
open the door to the shack and it's
1:00:12
empty. And we
1:00:15
see that they have
1:00:17
essentially popped one of the
1:00:19
floorboards up and gone underneath the
1:00:21
shack into the lake. And so
1:00:23
it's like at the shallow,
1:00:27
you know, edge of the lake. But
1:00:29
they're in this like nasty
1:00:31
fucking water now. Like you think about
1:00:34
these open wounds in a lake. And
1:00:36
he's definitely
1:00:39
losing conscious, like going in and
1:00:42
out of consciousness. She's holding his
1:00:44
head above water and he keeps
1:00:46
like slumping down. This is so
1:00:48
sad. There's like a tense moment of
1:00:50
one of the kids feet crashes
1:00:53
through the floorboard because again, this
1:00:55
place is very rickety.
1:00:59
And it seems like they're
1:01:02
gonna look under there but then they don't.
1:01:04
So the teens leave like okay, we gotta
1:01:07
keep looking, keep looking for them. They run away. So
1:01:10
now Jenny drags
1:01:12
Steve onto the shore. Again,
1:01:15
it's like muddy, filthy.
1:01:17
Ew, ew, ew, ew, ew. I
1:01:20
don't like it when things get
1:01:22
dirty. I just don't like that.
1:01:25
And he's still clinging on
1:01:27
to life but just barely and she
1:01:29
covers him up with branches and she
1:01:31
says like I'm gonna go get help.
1:01:34
I need you to... Oh, now
1:01:36
you're gonna go get help? Yeah,
1:01:39
now's not the best
1:01:41
time. Last night
1:01:43
while you were sleeping for the reason? Yeah,
1:01:45
what the fuck? I can't get over that
1:01:47
part. Yeah, I don't really
1:01:49
understand it. Maybe it was like not as
1:01:52
much time passed out or
1:01:54
maybe she like hit her head or something. Maybe
1:01:56
she hit her head, maybe she passed out or
1:01:58
maybe it was like... 3
1:02:01
in the morning to 4 in the morning and maybe
1:02:03
it was like the sun is coming
1:02:05
up. I don't know. I don't
1:02:07
know. But regardless,
1:02:10
even while they're just all stabbing him,
1:02:12
that could have been a good time
1:02:14
to run for help as well. Yeah.
1:02:18
Yeah, I would have liked that. So at
1:02:20
some point, Steve had told her to
1:02:22
follow the power lines. We can see
1:02:24
some power lines above. She says you
1:02:26
should be able to follow
1:02:28
those to some sort of... Smart.
1:02:31
...people will be at the end. And
1:02:34
so she's just running as fast
1:02:37
as she fucking can along these power
1:02:39
lines. And
1:02:41
we see a big pointy rock
1:02:44
in the foreground right in her
1:02:46
path. And
1:02:49
of course, her
1:02:51
foot plunges on
1:02:53
it. It goes straight through. She
1:02:57
screams so loud, all
1:02:59
the teens can hear it. She's
1:03:02
screaming and screaming and screaming. I'm saying,
1:03:04
shut the fuck up. Shut up. Oh
1:03:07
my God. Shut the fuck up,
1:03:10
Jenny Greengrass. Jenny!
1:03:15
So now all the
1:03:17
teens, they're far enough away
1:03:20
that they're not like right there, but they're all
1:03:22
running in her direction now. And
1:03:25
she tumbles down this little
1:03:27
hill and finds
1:03:29
a little spot to hide. She
1:03:32
by the way started off in this
1:03:34
cute little sun
1:03:37
dress, floral, brightly colored sun
1:03:39
dress that is now absolutely
1:03:42
filthy, disgusting, muddy. She's
1:03:44
muddy and bloody. And
1:03:48
she's trying to pull this rock
1:03:51
out of her foot. Ooh. Like
1:03:53
in her foot. Oh,
1:03:57
because of the shape of the rock.
1:04:00
She can't pull it down the way
1:04:02
that it came like because she has
1:04:04
to keep going Yep, so she has
1:04:06
to pull it out the top of
1:04:08
her foot. Holy shit. That
1:04:10
is a sharp pointy rock Yeah,
1:04:12
it almost looks like an arrowhead
1:04:16
or something I don't know if it's something to do
1:04:18
with the Ranger station
1:04:20
or something, but it's oof.
1:04:22
It looks extremely painful And
1:04:25
she's not being quiet about it still and I'm getting angry
1:04:28
but she gets it out
1:04:30
and she Keeps running
1:04:34
You know impressive must hurt a lot
1:04:37
And she runs into Adam the kid
1:04:39
from the beginning who's probably about 12
1:04:43
She's looks terrifying now and she's
1:04:45
like Adam, please Adam
1:04:49
looks really scared is like oh my god.
1:04:51
What she's like, please take me to
1:04:53
take me to like I need to talk to your
1:04:55
mom No, you need to talk to the police. He's
1:04:57
like he says his mom is is picking him up
1:05:01
And she's like no we should be talking just roaming
1:05:03
through the woods days in a row I
1:05:06
don't know and she tells him I
1:05:08
feel like we should be following the power lines
1:05:11
Because he's walking down a weird little
1:05:13
path and he tells her no.
1:05:15
No, this is a shortcut. This is a
1:05:17
shortcut We're getting down a little path and
1:05:20
he tells her no. No, this is a shortcut. This
1:05:22
is a shortcut. We're getting down Not
1:05:25
good vibes. No And
1:05:29
she's getting suspicious and is
1:05:31
saying Adam. Where are you taking me?
1:05:33
Are you sure your mom's? coming
1:05:35
here what are How
1:05:38
is she gonna get here? He
1:05:40
has a phone and she's trying to grab
1:05:42
it from him. He says it doesn't have
1:05:45
service It doesn't have service, but then she
1:05:47
it rings and she's Again
1:05:49
trying to grab it from him, but then the teens
1:05:52
arrive Adam
1:05:55
has called them
1:05:57
Adam and there's some mention
1:05:59
of him like wanting to be in
1:06:01
their crew and he
1:06:03
needs to do some sort of initiation
1:06:06
thing to prove himself, to be able
1:06:08
to hang with them. She's
1:06:12
panicking and tries to turn
1:06:14
and run but one of the teens is
1:06:16
behind her and punches her, knocks her out,
1:06:18
cut to black. Oh
1:06:21
Jesus Christ, here we go. We
1:06:25
all knew this was gonna happen. Yeah,
1:06:28
so now she wakes up, tied
1:06:32
up, covered
1:06:34
in branches and
1:06:36
twigs like in
1:06:38
a bonfire type
1:06:40
arrangement. Steve
1:06:44
is tied up behind her, he is
1:06:46
dead. Oh yeah. Oh. And
1:06:49
they are pouring gasoline all over both of them.
1:06:52
Oh my God. Oh my
1:06:54
God, this escalated so badly.
1:06:57
This is why you can't ask teens to turn
1:06:59
down the music. Never
1:07:02
do it, cautionary tale. You really can't do
1:07:04
it. You really can't. It's
1:07:06
not worth it. It's not worth
1:07:09
the fun. They won't literally light
1:07:11
you on fire. They're gonna light you on fire. If
1:07:13
you ask a teen to turn down the music, they're
1:07:15
gonna light you on fire. So
1:07:20
again, Paige is
1:07:23
filming all of this too because now
1:07:25
some of the even the ones that
1:07:27
have already been filmed stabbing him are
1:07:29
again saying we can't do this. This
1:07:31
is crazy. We need to let her
1:07:33
go. She's alive, man. We
1:07:35
can't fucking burn her alive. Paige
1:07:38
is filming it saying it's this is
1:07:40
happening. We're all implicated. This
1:07:43
is the only option. And
1:07:47
they make Adam light the
1:07:50
match. Oh my God. This is
1:07:52
his initiation thing and they make
1:07:54
him light them on fire. Adam,
1:07:58
you really want to be friends with these guys? No,
1:08:00
Adam, come on. So
1:08:02
it goes up in flames.
1:08:05
Steve goes up in
1:08:07
flames first. They're all gagging at the
1:08:09
smell of it. But
1:08:11
in the fire, because it starts on
1:08:13
the side, Steve is it. I
1:08:16
don't know, loosens or burns some of
1:08:18
her restraints in a way that she's
1:08:21
able to break free. And
1:08:23
she just fucking
1:08:26
runs. Brett calls
1:08:28
out after her. If you run, I'm
1:08:30
going to kill Adam. What?
1:08:35
Jenny keeps running. She's yeah, I'm sorry,
1:08:37
but I would try to let her
1:08:39
on fire. Yeah, yeah. So
1:08:42
sorry, Adam. And Brett
1:08:44
starts pouring gasoline on Adam. What
1:08:46
the fuck puts a tire over
1:08:49
his neck? And
1:08:51
lights him on fire and. Jenny
1:08:55
sees this. She throws
1:08:57
up. But she
1:08:59
keeps running. Yeah. OK. Yeah, there's
1:09:01
no there's no help in. Oh,
1:09:04
Adam, that is so sad. Fuck.
1:09:08
Brett is really bad. Really
1:09:11
a really bad teen. Brett is
1:09:13
really bad. She
1:09:16
finds this clearing where there's
1:09:20
like a map of, you know, like
1:09:22
a trailhead type thing. There's a map
1:09:24
of the whole forest. She
1:09:26
smashes the glass, pulls the map out so she
1:09:29
can figure out where the fuck she is and.
1:09:34
She hears them
1:09:37
approaching again. They're they're chasing after her.
1:09:39
She turns and looks for a hiding
1:09:41
place and sees a. I
1:09:46
don't know what it even it essentially just
1:09:48
looks like a trash can filled with shit.
1:09:50
I feel like it's some sort of like.
1:09:55
I don't know. Shit,
1:09:57
shit trash can. No
1:10:00
other way to say it. I
1:10:03
don't know what it is because it's like just
1:10:05
kind of free standing in the middle right next
1:10:07
to this trailhead seems like a weird place to
1:10:09
put that. Like you'd think it's like a sewage
1:10:11
thing but it looks like above
1:10:14
ground and not connected to anything. So
1:10:16
it's like where people, it's as if
1:10:18
it would be like where people dispose
1:10:20
of dog poop but it's
1:10:23
a human sized filled
1:10:26
with shit receptacle.
1:10:30
So Jenny dives
1:10:33
right in there. God bless her. Closes
1:10:37
the top is
1:10:39
covered head to
1:10:41
toe in shit
1:10:44
and the descent music is
1:10:46
blaring and she's
1:10:50
got her like little eyes poking out
1:10:52
of this. And I'm like oh my
1:10:54
god this is even like the scene
1:10:56
where she like comes out of the
1:10:59
blood. I'd rather come
1:11:01
out of blood than shit. It's
1:11:03
shit and adolescent boys instead of
1:11:06
cave monsters. I
1:11:08
don't see much of a difference. True.
1:11:12
And so they see
1:11:15
that she's gotten the map. They like are hot
1:11:17
on her trail but they don't
1:11:20
find her in the
1:11:22
shit bucket and they keep moving
1:11:26
and she gets
1:11:28
out and goes over
1:11:31
to all the broken glass from where the
1:11:33
map was and wraps like rips part of
1:11:35
her dress off to make a little handle
1:11:37
and finally makes this weapon. I'm thinking yes.
1:11:41
Good girl Jenny. I love to see
1:11:43
it and
1:11:46
as she's got her weapon
1:11:48
there's a little mirror on
1:11:50
this trailhead thing
1:11:53
that says the most dangerous animal in
1:11:55
the forest. It's a mirror showing us
1:11:57
that it's man. And
1:12:01
in this case, Jenny looking
1:12:05
really bad, covered in shit.
1:12:09
And we see Cooper
1:12:12
approaching looking like
1:12:16
so upset. He really does
1:12:18
not want to be in this situation. And
1:12:22
he sees her and he
1:12:25
calls out to her and says, Miss. And
1:12:28
we're thinking like he's going
1:12:30
to help her. And
1:12:32
she just turns around and stabs him in
1:12:34
the neck, kills him.
1:12:38
Oh my fucking God. Well, yeah.
1:12:40
I mean, she just saw them
1:12:42
light a kid on fire who
1:12:44
was alive. Yeah. And she
1:12:46
did see this kid stab her fiance in the
1:12:48
mouth. In the mouth, yeah. And
1:12:54
as Cooper's dying, he's really coughing and
1:12:57
coughing and coughing. And I'm like, everyone
1:12:59
needs to shut the fuck up in
1:13:01
this movie. And so the
1:13:04
other teens hear it, obviously. And
1:13:07
she runs and it's getting dark now. They
1:13:11
find Cooper's body. They're
1:13:14
furious, calling out, we're going to
1:13:16
fucking kill you, bitch. And
1:13:19
already were. This is kind of an
1:13:21
empty thread at this point. You can't
1:13:23
escalate past lighting me on fire. Yeah.
1:13:26
Yep. I get it. You're going
1:13:28
to kill me. Yeah, I know. Yeah,
1:13:30
that's why I know. Fucking running. And
1:13:33
she, because she has the map, she's
1:13:35
able to more efficiently run out to
1:13:38
the road and a
1:13:40
car is approaching. She runs in front of
1:13:42
the car. It stops. It's
1:13:44
like a guy in his 20s. And
1:13:48
he's like, oh my god, are you OK?
1:13:52
And she's panicking, looks insane, saying,
1:13:54
I need to get to town. I need
1:13:57
to get in town. Need
1:13:59
help. and he says, okay, okay, come
1:14:02
in, come in and they're start driving and she's
1:14:04
like, town's the other way, you need to
1:14:06
go back the other direction and he's like, yeah, I'm gonna
1:14:09
go back but my little brother's out here and
1:14:11
like he's not answering his phone. Like
1:14:15
I gotta find him, I think he's up here
1:14:17
like we have a meeting spot where if his
1:14:19
phone dies, I have to get him at this
1:14:21
meeting spot. Jenny's of course
1:14:24
putting two and two together, looking
1:14:26
nervous but being quiet
1:14:29
about it and they
1:14:31
pull up to this meeting spot
1:14:33
and outcomes Brett and the
1:14:35
other, you know,
1:14:38
Paige and the other teens and
1:14:41
the older brother
1:14:44
gets out of the car and walks over to
1:14:46
them like, mom's so mad, like what are you
1:14:48
doing? And Jenny just slips right into that driver's
1:14:50
seat. There we go,
1:14:52
turns the car around,
1:14:55
floors it. I'm thinking if I was like,
1:14:57
if I were her, I might have fucking
1:14:59
stabbed that guy. He's
1:15:01
just been like, get out of the car. Yeah,
1:15:04
yeah, yeah, yeah. Nice
1:15:07
that she didn't have to. Nice that
1:15:09
she didn't have to but she is
1:15:12
flooring it and Paige
1:15:14
like is runs like
1:15:17
in front of the
1:15:19
car to like stop her and she
1:15:21
plows through Paige. Yeah,
1:15:23
Paige dead. And
1:15:28
she drives and drives and drives until
1:15:30
she comes to a house where big
1:15:32
party's happening. There's like
1:15:34
30 or so people having a party and
1:15:36
she just like gets
1:15:39
out of the car, runs, like
1:15:41
drops to her knees in the middle of this
1:15:44
fun looking party and is like somebody
1:15:46
help me. Oh
1:15:48
my God. Everybody turns looks music stops.
1:15:51
Oh my God. Everyone
1:15:53
runs to her. These
1:15:56
women are like get her on the
1:15:58
couch and are like. Wiping
1:16:01
her off, like trying to calm her down
1:16:04
and asking what... I
1:16:06
am so anxious about whose house this is.
1:16:08
I am asking what happened. Why would you
1:16:10
stop driving? You
1:16:12
gotta get the fuck out of here.
1:16:15
Get away from all these people. I
1:16:17
know, I know. You probably just killed some
1:16:19
of these people's children. Yeah,
1:16:21
that's a...would have been a good
1:16:24
thought to have. Oh no. Cause
1:16:27
sure enough, as she's kind
1:16:29
of looking around the house,
1:16:32
we see pictures of
1:16:34
Brett on the walls. Oh
1:16:36
my God. Oh my God. We're back
1:16:38
in Brett's house. I hate this. I
1:16:40
hate this. And one of the
1:16:42
women helping her looks a lot like Paige, but
1:16:46
older. And
1:16:50
she sees Brett's dad
1:16:52
that we saw earlier and
1:16:56
he's getting a phone call and he's going,
1:16:58
what, what, slow down. What, what happened? Tell
1:17:00
me what happened. No.
1:17:05
And she sits up and
1:17:08
tells the women that are helping her,
1:17:10
I need to go to the bathroom. And
1:17:14
they show her where the bathroom is
1:17:16
and she goes into the bathroom. She
1:17:18
gets, there's like a straight razor
1:17:21
in there. She grabs that. There's
1:17:23
no window in this bathroom. She's like
1:17:25
looking for any escape. There's
1:17:28
nothing. So she just braces her. As
1:17:30
she's hearing yelling now happening and like
1:17:32
a scream happening like, oh my God,
1:17:34
what? Oh my God. Like
1:17:36
crying happening outside the
1:17:39
door. Then
1:17:41
there's like banging on the door like, get
1:17:43
out here. Get the fuck out here. And
1:17:46
she's just standing there with the, with the
1:17:48
razor as they break
1:17:50
the door down. Brett
1:17:53
is now there
1:17:56
and one of the other kids
1:17:58
I think too. It's
1:18:00
clear that they've told all
1:18:03
the adults here that the, you know, that
1:18:05
Paige is dead, that Cooper is dead. Jenny
1:18:09
starts yelling like, they killed
1:18:11
my boyfriend. They
1:18:14
killed Steve. They killed Steve. Brett's
1:18:16
dad is saying, they told me all about
1:18:18
Steve, what he did to the kids and
1:18:21
like, I know
1:18:23
what they did. I know what
1:18:25
your boyfriend did. So clearly, they've
1:18:27
lied to cover their tracks
1:18:31
and so... We've got footage though, although
1:18:34
maybe it died with Paige. Yeah,
1:18:37
and everyone's
1:18:39
freaking out. And
1:18:42
one of the moms, I think
1:18:44
it's Paige's mom is like sobbing
1:18:46
and saying, they're just children. They're
1:18:49
children. And
1:18:51
Jenny is taking this in. She is a
1:18:53
teacher. We've seen that. No.
1:18:57
No. Previously would
1:19:00
have thought to
1:19:03
protect all children, but she...
1:19:07
Now knows better. Now knows better. The
1:19:10
dad is hitting Brett now and they're
1:19:12
like, how could you let this happen?
1:19:15
We're seeing some abuse. Oh, man. Abuse
1:19:17
happening there. Brett's
1:19:19
dad is saying like, we
1:19:22
can't call the cops. Like
1:19:25
we have to deal with this ourselves. Otherwise
1:19:28
our kids are like going to be in
1:19:31
jail or like, we can't let this
1:19:33
get out. Jenny's screaming like,
1:19:35
what are you talking about? Like call the police, call
1:19:37
the police. Brett's
1:19:39
dad says, Brett, go upstairs. Close
1:19:43
the door. As
1:19:45
he like grabs Jenny, Jenny swipes
1:19:47
her little straight razor, like slices
1:19:49
his arm and falls to the
1:19:51
ground. I'm like, Jenny. Oh
1:19:53
my God. No more
1:19:55
weapons as she is being
1:19:57
pulled back into the bathroom. We just hear
1:19:59
screams. And now we're following Brett as
1:20:02
he walks into his room
1:20:05
closes the door. We hear
1:20:07
screaming, screaming. He pulls out
1:20:09
the phone, deletes all the videos,
1:20:12
delete, delete, delete, delete, pulls
1:20:15
out the Steve sunglasses
1:20:17
that he stole, puts
1:20:20
them on, looks at himself in the mirror with this
1:20:22
kind of blank expression.
1:20:25
That's the end of the movie. Oh
1:20:28
my fucking God.
1:20:33
I hated it. I hated it. You're
1:20:35
right. I'm in a cold sweat
1:20:37
right now. Just a cold sweat. That's a
1:20:39
really interesting ending though because it does make
1:20:42
him seem like a child. Yeah, it
1:20:45
does. It really does. Like, and that of
1:20:47
course he comes from an abusive home because
1:20:49
a child wouldn't do that if they didn't,
1:20:52
but it's also like he made
1:20:56
children stab a man
1:20:59
and he also lit people on fire. So
1:21:02
he's really unforgivable
1:21:05
shit. But
1:21:07
at the end of the day, he's just a
1:21:09
kid who like wanted sunglasses and got way out
1:21:11
of hand because you're stupid
1:21:13
because you're so fucking stupid when you're a
1:21:15
teen. That's what I really
1:21:17
like about this movie is just like
1:21:20
a situation
1:21:22
just escalating and escalating and escalating
1:21:24
feels so possible. Like this is,
1:21:26
I like a horror movie that
1:21:28
is possible. Like
1:21:30
yeah, this could happen. And
1:21:32
like moment to moment, these, you know,
1:21:35
teens make really stupid decisions all
1:21:37
the time without realizing mistakes. And if they like keep
1:21:39
getting put in higher and higher stakes situations, then all
1:21:41
they're trying to do is like get moment to moment
1:21:43
because that's the only thing teenagers can do is like
1:21:45
think about like, well, what are
1:21:48
you right now? Yeah. You would
1:21:50
just like keep like that feeling of like, we're in it
1:21:52
now. You have to, we have to kill them. Like we
1:21:54
have to kill them or something else to do because you're
1:21:56
too stupid to realize like you could actually just not kill
1:21:58
them. Yes. And it would be a lot better. than if
1:22:00
you continue to move forward and kill them? Yeah,
1:22:03
I remember when I was
1:22:05
in high school having
1:22:08
this escalating situation, not
1:22:10
to this degree obviously. Thank God.
1:22:13
But it was me and a friend and we
1:22:15
were playing a game
1:22:19
where it was like a variation of hide
1:22:21
and seek, I guess. And
1:22:24
somehow it ended
1:22:26
with one
1:22:28
of us, I think she
1:22:31
locked me outside and then
1:22:33
it just got like mean and
1:22:36
she wouldn't let me back in and we were like seeing
1:22:38
each other through the sliding door.
1:22:42
And I saw
1:22:44
that her stuff was outside where
1:22:47
I was and my stuff was
1:22:49
inside where she was. And
1:22:51
so we just started fucking ruining each other's
1:22:53
shit. I grabbed her textbooks
1:22:55
and was ripping pages out of her
1:22:57
textbooks and ripping her backpack and
1:23:00
she was ripping all of my shit and
1:23:02
we're both sobbing and I
1:23:05
just escalated to this horrible
1:23:07
level that ended with me calling my mom
1:23:09
and being like, yes, I want to come
1:23:12
home, I want to be ruined. Yeah,
1:23:14
the fact that you wouldn't have thought to call
1:23:16
your mom before you guys started ruining
1:23:18
each other's stuff like kind of the point
1:23:21
that it. Yeah. And when
1:23:24
you're a teenager, you're like, you are a
1:23:27
hormone monster. You truly are. You're
1:23:29
like you don't you have no lived experience.
1:23:32
You are fully just
1:23:34
emotion and like physical
1:23:36
discomfort. Yep. And that
1:23:38
is the only thing driving you. Oh,
1:23:43
God, how fucking scary. That
1:23:50
said, I did I did enjoy this movie.
1:23:52
I will say that it was
1:23:54
surprising for sure. I did
1:23:56
not see that ending
1:23:58
coming. Yeah. But it is
1:24:00
surprising. I kind of did see the ending coming
1:24:03
only because I had heard that this movie is
1:24:05
like feel bad, bad, bad. So I was
1:24:07
like, well, it's not gonna have a, we're not gonna have a
1:24:09
happy ending here. And
1:24:12
but I will say that as
1:24:14
far as the broken Britain messaging
1:24:18
here, I feel like
1:24:20
this is not really the... Like
1:24:22
maybe a little problematic. Yeah. Like I
1:24:24
feel like it just is heaping on
1:24:26
this demonization of like, yeah, they are
1:24:28
this working, we should feel this way.
1:24:31
Look at them. Right. They'll
1:24:33
fucking kill you in the woods. Yeah. Like
1:24:35
working class people as like dangerous to violence.
1:24:39
More movies like funny games where it's the rich people who
1:24:41
are. I
1:24:44
take it back. I don't want it. I don't want
1:24:46
more. So as far as like broken Britain
1:24:48
themed horror movies, attack the block did it
1:24:50
better. Attack the block did it better. God,
1:24:53
I can't wait for attack the block too.
1:24:56
Holy shit. I know I
1:24:58
want it. So
1:25:02
that's even like... Yeah.
1:25:04
I mean, this is not
1:25:07
fun. No, no, no. Feel
1:25:09
bad for sure. Feel bad for sure.
1:25:12
And yeah, kind of a weird one to
1:25:14
pair with the announcement of the troubled teen
1:25:16
docu-series that I know. I know. I
1:25:19
know it is actually. I was thinking about that. Well,
1:25:21
I mean, I think I actually think it does sort of
1:25:23
tie in because it feels like what the ending of this
1:25:25
movie lets us know is how vulnerable teenagers are. Because
1:25:28
it is such a volatile
1:25:31
time in life
1:25:34
for everybody. I hated being a
1:25:37
teenager. I was awful. I was...
1:25:40
Oh, it was a really dark time. And
1:25:44
the answer is not to abuse
1:25:46
your kids, obviously. The answer is not
1:25:48
to send your kids away. Don't lock
1:25:51
them away. It's this deeply, deeply vulnerable
1:25:53
time because you are the brain of
1:25:55
a child, but all of a sudden
1:25:57
you're becoming an adult. You're treated... by
1:26:01
the outside world as an adult in many ways,
1:26:03
you like want
1:26:05
to fuck people and that
1:26:08
you're not like not ready for that. It's
1:26:10
like yeah it's so precarious the fact that
1:26:12
like any of us survive that we all
1:26:14
have to if you're gonna become an
1:26:16
adult and you
1:26:18
can see how easy it is for shit
1:26:21
to go like really wrong and we need
1:26:23
as scary as scenes are we
1:26:25
gotta do it we gotta do a
1:26:28
better job with them so that they'll
1:26:30
be less scary. Yeah. Yeah
1:26:32
at the end of the day
1:26:35
it's the the adults responsibility to
1:26:37
be the good you
1:26:39
know set a good
1:26:42
standard for the teens and
1:26:44
you can't just obviously nothing
1:26:46
good happens when teens are in the
1:26:48
woods so let's not just woods I
1:26:50
think importantly. I
1:26:53
was talking to my friend that has a teenage
1:26:56
daughter come almost two teenage daughters one
1:26:59
of them's 12 one of them's
1:27:04
15 and it's been a tough time for
1:27:06
him and he said
1:27:08
some advice that he got you
1:27:10
have to accept that
1:27:12
that's part of it I mean I I guess
1:27:14
I won't pretend to know how to raise a teenager
1:27:16
it sounds extremely hard but oh
1:27:19
my god I just got I started like
1:27:21
hyperventilating I don't have children and I just
1:27:23
was like oh god oh no oh god
1:27:25
how do you do it? Henley
1:27:28
are you okay? I feel like I'm
1:27:30
just gonna be in denial that it'll happen to
1:27:32
me until it happens you know what I mean
1:27:34
like I'm gonna be like you know
1:27:36
that many more years maybe it'll maybe
1:27:38
it'll be okay and then obviously it won't
1:27:40
be but um yeah I
1:27:42
think that also just putting yourself in situations
1:27:45
where you can communicate without looking at each
1:27:47
other so like driving
1:27:49
walking doing any
1:27:52
kind of activities where you're like be
1:27:54
willing to embarrass them I think by
1:27:56
like giving them educational books about like
1:27:59
I had this book that my parents gave me about
1:28:01
bodies that I was like, oh, don't you shut
1:28:03
up? But I would read that book all
1:28:06
the time. That's so funny.
1:28:08
But yeah, just being like,
1:28:11
you got to embarrass them a little bit for
1:28:13
their benefit. And somehow just
1:28:16
not take anything personally. Never
1:28:18
take it personally. That's an
1:28:20
important one. That is hard.
1:28:22
That is hard. They're going
1:28:24
to really mean stuff. They are
1:28:26
so mean. They
1:28:29
are so mean. And I want
1:28:31
to convince them. Most importantly, just
1:28:33
simply never tell them to turn their music down.
1:28:35
It is. Never tell them to turn their music down. We
1:28:38
are joking, but also kind of not. It isn't worth it.
1:28:40
Just let them play their music really loud. Let them play
1:28:42
their music. Let them have it. It's
1:28:45
a hard time. And you
1:28:48
just let them play their music too loud. Yep.
1:28:52
Holy moly. I have
1:28:54
a lot to think about. I have a lot.
1:28:56
We've learned an important lesson here today. Wow.
1:29:01
Teens are scary, but they
1:29:03
are children. And they are going to play their music
1:29:05
at the volume they want. It's
1:29:08
the least we can do for them. Yeah.
1:29:12
Yep. Yep. OK.
1:29:15
And I can't believe I forgot to tell you
1:29:17
guys something really important, which is that James
1:29:19
Watkins, the director of this movie, is
1:29:22
going to be directing the Speak No
1:29:25
Evil movie. Oh my
1:29:27
god. They were doing that man. So
1:29:30
this guy likes to feel bad, huh?
1:29:32
He really likes to have a very bad time.
1:29:36
He's good at making us feel bad. I hate him.
1:29:38
That's why we love him. I mean, I guess. Know
1:29:41
your strengths, you know? Mm-hmm.
1:29:45
I knew that I shouldn't have been too
1:29:47
excited about there being so many tongues in
1:29:49
this movie. He
1:29:52
was like, there might be tongues now, but
1:29:54
later you just wait, bitch. They're
1:29:57
going. That was the biggest note after doing this
1:29:59
movie was like. Like wait a minute, get rid of the
1:30:01
tongues. I stabbed inside
1:30:03
a mouth but the tongue stayed put.
1:30:05
That's true. The tongue remained. That was
1:30:07
a mistake. I... Where I
1:30:09
have to do it again, I would take that tongue. Oh
1:30:13
my God. I'm very curious about
1:30:15
the remake because the cast is
1:30:17
very good but also American
1:30:20
remakes tend to be under-happening. Is
1:30:22
it like in production? Yes, it's strange to us. It's
1:30:27
supposed to come out this year. Oh
1:30:29
my God. Remind us of the cast of them? James
1:30:31
McAvoy, Mackenzie Davis and Scoot
1:30:33
McNary. Whoa,
1:30:36
alright. So okay,
1:30:38
that is interesting. But I feel like
1:30:40
because Speak No Evil has such a...
1:30:43
There's a significant part of
1:30:45
the plot is their language
1:30:49
barrier and cultural
1:30:51
differences and these are
1:30:54
all... Yeah. For
1:30:56
it is. You know, it's gonna be all English speaking.
1:30:59
So I hope that they are at least
1:31:02
have some culture differences like one
1:31:04
of the families is from Canada
1:31:06
or British or something because
1:31:10
I feel like that's... A
1:31:12
huge part of it is that they're like... That part of
1:31:14
it. They're like, oh, they're just different from us because... Well,
1:31:16
I mean, I guess... Right.
1:31:18
They have to be like, oh, they do things differently
1:31:21
in Canada which they
1:31:24
do. Sure, but they do. They do. They're
1:31:27
not that differently. All I gotta
1:31:29
say is, I don't wanna sit through that shit
1:31:31
again. I know...
1:31:34
No, we're not doing it. We will not be
1:31:36
doing it. That's funny because it's like, I feel
1:31:38
like I want to do it but it's also gonna
1:31:40
be the same movie again. Same
1:31:42
movie. I mean, you can see it. Maybe we can
1:31:44
do a little mini... I can tell you the
1:31:47
differences. You can do a mini-tote. Well, you
1:31:49
can watch it. Yeah. You can say whether it's worth
1:31:51
doing. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
1:31:54
And if it's worth doing, I'll fucking do it. I'll do
1:31:56
it, you guys. Oh my god. Hey, Lee. If
1:31:58
they change... like change a
1:32:01
lot of stuff then. Yeah, they
1:32:03
cut out more tongues. We'll have
1:32:05
to do it. Yeah. More tongues,
1:32:07
more stonings, like, yeah, let's, in
1:32:09
that case, let's do it. Man.
1:32:14
So yeah, we have that
1:32:17
to look forward to. Yeah. So
1:32:20
much. Wow. OK, huge news. Hate
1:32:23
to see it. What are you going to do? I'm
1:32:27
going to try to forget about all of this instantly.
1:32:29
Me too. Same, same, same, same. The rest of the
1:32:31
day. Gone. Poof. Even like never heard
1:32:33
of it. Wowzer.
1:32:38
All right. Well, we
1:32:42
