And then, last but not least review, leave some stars to leave some words. Subscribe, all that good stuff. We have a lot to talk about this movie is a lot. It's very intimidating. So, like, spoiler alert. Had brutally. Jordan peels Trilogy of his horror movies. All right, let us officially take a bite of. Nope.

2:21 Nope, I think that's the shortest one ever. Nope. After their father is killed by a coin dropping from the sky siblings. O.j. and emerald are left. Holding the reins of their family business. Trying to make ends meet o.j. Begins selling their horses to Joop Park, the owner of a western theme park nearby, trying to work through the distance between them O J and M begin experiencing odd phenomena on the ranch ultimately. Feeling like there is something looming in the sky above them went on Tom. Yeah, they decide to save their father's business by capturing the currencies on film for that Oprah moment. Unfortunately, for them the looming structure in the sky has an insatiable appetite. Ooh, yum.

3:04 He wants to take a bite of many. Bytes aquadolls say, oh man. All right, should we get into it? Let's Do it. You guys know I love horror I love it. Derek obviously does to some of our very early episodes were based on horror and we continue to do that. Absolutely Midnight Sun, the know. Yeah, the horrors of Edward Cullen being a stalker. Oh my God. But I'm always excited when specifically Jordan Peele. Does his work? This is his third film that he's done. He to get out us and now. Nope. If you haven't watched his 2019 Twilight Zone, Revival mmm. Very very, very much.

3:48 You should do that because it's fantastic and got cancelled way before its time. I agree. One of the things that I love about Jordan peels work is that it's horror meet social commentary, right, you know, and so it's not just a slasher film, it's not just an alien film. And even the Twilight Zone episodes themselves, they talked about, you know, gun violence. They talked about police brutality, they talked Out, you know, immigration and so, I think that he has this really magical way of layering these different topics within the genre of horror. And that's really impressive the Twilight zones right up, his alley. Because even the original with Rod Serling was very much social commentary the entire time in a Trailblazer of its time. I feel like the first two movies he did us and get out. We're more layered in that.

4:40 Hmm and I feel like this one was more. Face value. It was like, this is like this is what it's about. Yeah. So yeah, it's kind of feels like the first ones were a little more nuanced. Right. Whereas this one is like bam your face. Yeah. And of course it makes you think about things and it makes you go. What the fuck is happening. But also give you those moments of literally being. Nope. Just like some of the actors do in this movie. And this one, I love that he described this. As he did, a bunch of interviews when this is coming out and he said this is about like The Great American UFO story. That's what this is, like, it's that big story. The spectacle, the American dream, so to see how they played that out and also using real-life examples to interweave that I felt like it was really well done, but it wasn't so buried to where, you know there. I think there's a college that doesn't entire class on get out so, wow, it's not so buried in there to where you have to really, you know, think too much but there's still a lot in there that you do have to think about.

5:43 Yeah, I mean, as I, you know, I've been mulling over this since since we watched it and I found it very scary. I mean, there's something about, I don't like again. I've said this before, I don't like when people are screaming for help, I don't like when they're scared in some way, that's why I tend to stay away from like the Saw movies and slasher movies, but I have a very vivid memory of watching Fire in the Sky. When I was like eight, my parents got it from Blockbuster and I tried to close my eyes but him screaming for help. I started I don't like and Tom Cruise War of the Worlds, when the aliens are like holding humans in their little, you know, fanny packs and the heating them and everyone's screaming. And so, we have sort of that experience on that sort of, we have that experience in. Nope.

6:28 So, it made me feel very uncomfortable. So that horror thing is very real, but as I was mulling it over, I'm going. I feel like, there's what, you know, what else is he trying to say? Unlike the thing that I sort of landed on with this is exploitation right in all of its forms. Yeah, you know, whether it's humans exploiting animals or white people like exploiting black people and it just like felt like they were a number of levels of that representation throughout. Yeah, that definitely is a big theme and I think the more that you do sit there and think about it and then you realize what this movie is trying to tell you like what is Gordy even have to do with this movie and what I trying to say and I feel like he used that very traumatic and horror scene. Show that this is one way that somebody uses exploitation and then the siblings, the Hayward siblings a word he would siblings use it because they're continuously being exploited, but also being forgotten.

7:26 So they feel like they have to make sure to get this thing or else. Nobody will believe them, right? Which kind of, I mean, when it comes to UFOs, yeah, you do have to get it but it goes right back to that. 1878 image of the blackjack. He on the horse, one of the fathers of Cinema, they know, the person that filmed it, they know the horse's name and EG but the black jockey completely forgotten from history. And I didn't know that, I thought when they said in the movie I'm like, oh, that is a descendent know that he just fictionalized that because nobody knows who that is. So that's where the whole Oprah shock comes in. They have to do it but they're also exploiting it themselves. Yeah.

8:08 And then there's even that layer towards the end of the movie when the tea TMZ reporter comes. That was so funny. It was so funny. But this is again these are the lengths that these people are willing to go to. They have, you know, he has that like mirror helmet on and he's trying to exploit their experience for his own game. Right? Let's talk about Jus per second because I feel like his is such an interesting Yes, through line through this movie and it's terrifying, but it's also, so Jordan Peele, his other two movies, get out and us very much had to do with trauma. I had to do with how these people deal with trauma, and what that means from the outside world and how the internalize it.

8:50 This one is the same way. I mean, we have the siblings that lost their father in a very freak accident from stuff, a raining down from the sky, but then you also have Juke where he was a child star. And Live taped this traumatic experience but what he does is that he exploits that trauma and he can't, he built an entire park, you know, symbolizing and immortalizing his thing. And then also within that Park is a tiny little Museum that he sells out for people to beat to stay in, which is horrible, right? But he's doing it to exploit that experience and he I almost feel like in some way he feels like he's like this chosen person in a way. Because he was the only one that wasn't killed by Gordy. But that whole scene, if you really break it down, the only reason why he didn't get killed is because he didn't make eye contact right with the chimp, right? So if but he thinks that there's another meaning to that, and that really plays into who his character is. But man, that that scene is not fun to watch and it shows it three times.

9:57 Yeah. Every time it goes back to it, it just feels more and more uncomfortable. Yeah. And you know, thinking about the thing of him, not looking in Gordie's eyes, right? I feel like there's even another layer to that, like, when exploitation is happening, are we viewing it as viewers? Are we taking it in? And also being part of the problem, or are we looking away and saying, nope, I'm not going to interact with that, right? Because we even see that with, with OJ. When they're training the horses. And then he uses that with the creature, I guess we'll just call it the creature or the UFO, whatever it is jacket, jean jacket here. Right does have a name with jean jacket where don't look it in the eye. Don't exploit it don't be a part of it. And so Joop never learns that lesson, right? And even his entire park that he's created is exploiting everything exploiting horses exploiting the experience and then even towards the end, he tries to exploit jean jacket. He ultimately leads to his demise. Yeah, we learned that o.j. so the trauma that the siblings have, they are dealing with it and opposite ways. O.j. wants to do diligent work with the business and really good at out there but he's also struggling. So he's selling horses to chew for whatever reason. He doesn't, he just selling them to him because he'll buy them. You have em where she's saying she kind of wants to distance yourself a little bit but also tell everybody that will listen what she can do and Then Jupe.

11:25 He is like I don't know what he's thinking of like, oh, I can dismiss serious thing in the sky. Oh, it likes horses. So I'll just buy these horses. Have people watch this, eat this horse, or take this horse up and expect it not to attack everybody else that's there. It's just that level of like immaturity not really understanding thinking that he's like some chosen person touchable in some way. Yeah. And it really did him in the ass that scene where it it sucks. All those people up in the audience. Oh good. This movie. Beautiful cinematographer Hoyt way to my they have worked on a lot of Christopher Nolan's films, particularly Interstellar, and Dunkirk beautifully, shot movies and you really can see that through this.

12:14 It's very expansive. They wanted to show so much of the Valley and the scene. It just was a man, I loved it so much the gist Just the way the movie was shot in that scene where Joop and The Spectators get taken up into jean jacket when we're in jean jacket with them and they're like in the folds of itself. So it got it is happening their stomach. It's frightening, it's scary, it's claustrophobic. You're in there with them. You're feeling. And what's so interesting about jean jacket? Is that it's a soft round design. It looks exactly like what you think of UFO, right? Look like And so when you think dangerous and scary, it's sharp. Its bloody it's poking you and this is like just swapping you and intestinal tract and I digesting you or whatever happens.

13:05 But it's so interesting that these very soft colors. These warm tones are so frightening even though they kind of feel opposite of what we think of when we're supposed to be scared. Yeah he is subverting a lot of expectations with this creature because one we think that there is Little Green Men Inside of in, it's not the entire entity is the entity and but then it also doubles down on that because it acts like a predator. Don't look at it in its eye which o.j. kind of came up with that plan, he's like, okay. Just don't look at it and it does work for the most part until it gets angry and just doesn't care. Yeah. And then use it to cover yourself in barbed wire or something. It doesn't like God angel. I mean, smart very smart.

13:47 Yeah, try to eat me now. I'm just covered in spikes. Yeah, but then the creature itself. Completely transforms towards the end is just like this Angelic looking still terrifying with. I don't its mouth /, I thing, just flipping and flapping and changing terrifying, but it's also it's changing how you might think about that, or maybe what you would think, this creature would be because in the end, it is kind of beautiful. It's very much sort of like a jellyfish in that sentence. Right? These floating jellyfish there, so ethereal Oil. But sometimes if depending on the type of it gets you you could die.

14:27 I wonder if one of those So speaking about you know, exploitation and you know another thing that runs through this movie is very much like a love letter to Hollywood because you see all the little Easter eggs throughout a year. You just see the movies that they worked on like Scorpion King and all this stuff and it definitely seems like a satirical look at a lot of that and the creature in a way jean jacket. It's, I and the images that it kept showing was very Are ya? Rectangular like a camera? Absolutely. So I feel like that's on purpose. I did watching you. Yeah, I didn't want to look up anything about this movie, too. You know, poison my thighs or to be influenced by. Yeah, there we go. That's the word.

15:07 But that's how I felt about that. The whole movie itself is incredibly unsettling. It just I felt uneasy after watching it. I did want to talk a little bit about o.j. and emerald kind of bouncing off what you said. So we only me Meet their father for the first? What? Ten minutes of the movie? Yeah. Right. And so Legend of an actor, by the way. Absolutely, he's incredible. And it's kind of upsetting that he wasn't in it more. The thing that's interesting about the father, right? Is that he has the know-how and the love for the horses. But also he has the personality to be on set and work with people and it seems like those talents were split between 0.

15:47 J and M. Oh yeah, right. So o.j. has the talent. He has the know how he is. And he wants to work with the horses. He's feels attached to them. And on the other hand is the personality, but she doesn't want to deal with all the little things that you have to do. So, they're so different and I think that's what causes a lot of the friction between them. I do wish that we had a little more back story about the two of them. I mean I mean Daniel Kahlua and Keke Palmer. You fall in love with them immediately. Their chemistry is great. Like you feel like they're siblings? Yeah. Just those little moments real kind of like Paquette each other but then also support each other. And then, yeah, it's great. It's very much that thing of, like, I can bully my sibling but you can't. Yeah, you know, duh, those are the rules so that juxtaposition juxtaposition.

16:34 Excuse me, between them is, is something interesting to watch. I just wish we got to see a little bit more of it and how they work, like, how they became who they are. Yeah, we get very little flashbacks or backstory to it, but it does seem I'm curious. If the reason why m is that Way, I mean aside from that's just who she is. They did make it a point to talk about how she was the one that was supposed to train jean jacket. That was her horse, that was her horse but then he had o.j. do it. And so it was almost like she was pushed aside from actually being able to do that because then she could have actually been more like her father because she has a personality, she didn't really get the training or the experience to do that.

17:20 So then that's where that split happened. That makes sense. And And I don't know if there's some resentment there. Hmm, it seemed a little bit but not completely because I think he Palmer's character em, she kind of leaned into it, she's like this is where I'm at now. So this is who I'm going to be, don't ask me to do that other stuff because I'm not going to. Because when she went on the set in the beginning with the horse, she kind of left him, she was like, okay I'm going to be the personality. Now I'm going to go talk to somebody to gain what I'm doing succeeds. Yeah. Yeah, and that's it. Lays the I'm work that way but it was interesting to just father died than the siblings, right? Yeah. I do want to say though I that scene when they are on set you know and whatever it is, the commercial, whatever they're doing, she stands up there and she's like, you know, hi, I'm Emerald. Hey would, you know, blah, blah blah. I also do sewing and motorcycle breathing this and that and you're kind of like, oh, that's really funny. You know, she's trying to tell everybody her other talents but what I really loved about that is that we're told what she can do and then throughout Out the movie. We see that she can like she can use those talents and I feel like sometimes the movies you like, I don't know. Sure.

18:31 Of course, right? Yeah. Oh, yeah, of course. She knows how to ride a motorcycle. Of course, she knows how to sew giant, you know Flags. Yeah. But she tells us right up front. I have a million talents and then we get to see those talents. So by having her make that speech, we're like, oh yeah, here she goes. She could do that thing. That you said she can do rather than being like that makes no sense. How could she do that? Like what is the point of you telling me? This to right, right? So I really appreciated that that we see her doing the things that she says she could do at the beginning and of his movies. I think this is the least scary face value. Yeah, I just like it is whore obviously, and it's terrifying. I feel like this is like that summer monster movie where it's not, you know, get our us because us I felt like that one to me is probably more terrifying of the three, the home invasion e.

19:20 What is going on? They look like you running for your life, your stabby. It's very much more like, mmm, I like where he's going with these. He's very, he's not only experiment like experimenting with different genres within his film, but he's also So showing, what else he can do? He can do a horror monster Summer movie and then also a very like closed, intimate us type thing, and then even smaller get out. Yeah, I love, I love Jordan Peele because he is not defined by any one genre of media, right? We, I think most of us met peel from Key & Peele, oh my God, like a hilarious sketch comedy show that like had Laughing your ass off. And then when he came with get out, it was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute, what?

20:13 And then it just keeps growing from there. And I think that he's not afraid to play with these different genres within the horrors. He shouldn't because this is, this is like that. It's a western, it's a mystery, it's an extraterrestrial thing, it's a drama, it's not a spectacle and he does wrap all that into one. It's not just Cowboys and Aliens. It's a lot of other stuff that's going on. He actually reminds me very much of like, Stephen King. You know, Stephen King can write anything. Yeah, you know he can write Stand By Me. He can write carry, he can write the institution fairytale, they're all over the place, but the base of it is is that he's talented, right? So he doesn't need to be defined by a genre. And I feel like we're experiencing that with Jordan Peele.

20:58 Yeah, I mean, there is something to be said about comedians being able to do drama and horror very well. And I think that speaks To their talent of being a comedian because you have to know how to communicate things to get the thing that you want. You're doing. Comedy is very purposeful, there's a you you go over, you go over, you punch up the jokes, you go to open mics, you do all this stuff and you learn how to get to the end goal that you want by doing the things to lead them there and you know even with Bill Hader doing Barry and doing all the other stuff that he does but then he was on SNL. Just being a complete buffoon sometimes, but it shows the level of, oh, these comedians aren't just there to be slapstick.

21:46 They can do more than that, and I think Jordan Peele is like a driving force. So that not only for that. But also, this like Resurgence of like black horror, which is amazing. Totally and you know, when we, I was thinking a lot about the cast of this is the very small cast. I mean there is small, even the extras there, I mean, in that one scene in dupes, Theme park. I mean, what there's maybe 20 people in the crowd, so it's not a lot and of our principal players where it's dive, it's a diverse cast, right? I mean, maybe I'm trying to like, I'm trying to think like was antler hulst. The cinematographer that came from the commercial, maybe he was white. I think he was right.

22:27 Yeah, I would assume so he was the only one. So we're going looking at this like incredibly diverse cast and Jordan Peele is so good at doing that as well of like making Sure, there's representation. Yeah. The character, the extra characters that do come in to help with the final climax or the Battle of jean. Jacket is interesting, you know, angel, I'm not too sure. I could be wrong. And you guys can, you know, add us, comment below. If if you understood more of why he was there, he was the only one that I felt not out of place, but I was like, okay, he worked at the place where they got their surveillance stuff from. He helped them do that. Fantastic. People lived in it as as well. The only backstory really get of him is that his girlfriend broke up with him and it's just I'm, yeah, it's like, he's pouring all of himself into this.

23:17 I don't know. Pass it. Like, I kept trying to think about it and I think I was thinking more of the other people and I was like, what was his purpose? I loved him in it, but I just I'm just curious on like why? Yeah I was I was thinking that as well. I mean other than the Techno how I mean was it just good to have? To have him as a third in their lives Duo, right? To kind of come in and say like well this is what's really going on. This is what's happening. You know, I think like almost like a third party saying. Yeah, I believe you yes I mean he did find out that the cloud didn't move right? You know, so he definitely had a purpose in the movie. I'm just like, what was his meaning?

23:58 No I don't. Exactly. I think you make a good point and other than being the guy who knew how to work the cameras. Yeah. And the the cinematographer that they bring Again and it's very raspy rugged sounding guy that seems very pretentious and his work really in the end, he decides to help them. So that we could get the impossible shot, the Oprah shot. But also in the end, he exploits that and goes further and ends up killing himself because of that other shot. Yeah, and it's like, he should have just stuck with the plan. The plan was amazing and I think it was a really fun way to do a climax of a movie where They're not Little Green Men but the thing itself is it entity but he got the shot.

24:42 He got it to begin with and then he wanted to get more of a shot and I love that like juxtaposition between usually in these like Invasion and alien stories, you see a big shootout, somebody has like this giant gun and in place of a giant gun was a hand operated camera and so just seeing that it was interesting to see that and he went too far. He did he really just went too far and I think that her It's that extra layer of commentary with like, how far are you willing to go to get this thing, right? Right. Yeah. And he completely ruined everything for himself and also did they get the camera back? Yes, they spit it out at the end. Yeah. And and there was the other role of not a roll of film, I don't canister film. I don't know what you home film, like, for movies. It's very complicated now, for photography, but, you know, he hand, Angel goes in that like little blackout tent thing. To change it out.

25:38 So that one existed as well. I mean the, the antler character was, was just bizarre all over right from like you said, the raspiness, but every time they're kind of contacting him, he's watching animals kill each other. Like he's watching like old footage of. I don't know, like a boa constrictor and yeah leopard or whatever. I mean, which obviously is like, you know, playing into this idea of jean jacket, being the predator and who's the prey and, you know, there's in the last one we're seeing him watch. We think that the The leopard is going to eat the snake but then the snake ends up killing the leopard. And so you know, it's like the prey becoming the Predator. So it I don't know what he just came in. He had again had the know-how it was like we had OJ and emerald who had the passion in the need to stop this thing and then we have the other two people who knew how to work cameras and some yeah, some sense.

26:27 I almost feel like that it it was a retelling of the black jockey and the film, I mean, this guy who I'm I'm assuming he's white, I really I think he's white, they need him to do the thing to like capture the thing, you know what I mean? And then he overexploited that. Hmm. So it's, they could have done it. I think that, you know, that the Haywood siblings probably could have done it and they did more of the work than anybody else in this entire movie. Yeah, well I mean it feels like at the end, it really is 0. J and M coming together with the horse with, was it? Lucky that was left at the end, ya think? That are the ones that end up defeating it and also capturing it on film with that giant very cool Polaroid. Well, yeah, Jeeps Park.

27:17 I mean, I like that, that became one of the final weapons of the thing. It's a very analog thing and it was very intense because you wanted her to get that shot but then she had to keep doing it and then that extra layer of using like a western, very what was the beginning of Cinema inflatable thing to capture it to capture this thing? I just, I love that like Clash of Cinema ideas and themes, but that was so cool. I love the use of wacky, inflatable, flailing up to man's so many of them. But it was so smart for them to do that because wherever it is a overhead, it turns out the Electra electricity electricity, but the images in this, when he when o.j. is on the horse running from jean jacket, and it's so close behind him that just looked One way to real and three beautiful.

28:10 I can't I just can't get over. I think it's because of our interview with ebenbolter. Yeah, I'm just really paying attention to, like, how things are shot now. And I'm like, this is so pretty agreed. And if you think about, right, it's there on this Ranch, which is, I mean, there's mountains in the background, there's blue skies, but for the most part, it's a huge flat, expanse of land. And so what the creators jobs were to do, where to how do we use this flat land? Right. And so the Inflatables Flags, you know, these are the things that are making it interesting. We have this bear palette so what do we use to paint in? Yeah, yeah. I'll I'm very much I'm not too sure how much CGI or effects were used.

28:51 Obviously for the G jacket was real. Yeah. But I mean for the landscape I want to say it was all practical looked very, you know, it's giving me what's a good example? Like, eternals word? They didn't use a lot of green screen and stuff. They use actual locations and practical stuff. I think it adds to it a little bit. It's been. Everything is green screen for the entire thing. You almost can sense that you can almost sense that like the background isn't as depth, as it should be sure. But when you use this practical location and use it to your advantage wear, jean jacket goes over the ridge of the mountain. It's just like, so it just makes you suspend disbelief, a little easier, totally, as an aside Noah, and I are working our way through the James Bond movies.

29:37 Oh my Oh God, no, no eye has seen them all. I haven't seen any of them or what 27. Yeah, so we're starting with the Sean Connery ones and they're, they've been released in HD now and when you can tell that they're in front of a green screen, whoo, doggy. I have never seen them in like Ultra HD because obviously, they weren't made during that. And I used to have the whole like DVD collection and we watched From Russia with Love last night and seeing how like detailed it was unlike his Couple it's awful. He did not look like this when I remember watching that. But yeah, in the 60s, it looked great on film. Fantastic. Yeah. But like not in 2023 they really put bronzer on totally absolutely been out in the sun.

30:20 Apparently does that like, oh no, that's just too. That's just to further your point of being grateful for them using more practical effects. Yes. I mean, even there's, there's the one scene where we think that there are these little guys, guys, guys, guys, I, I Can't I do that was the scariest part to me of the entire thing I do not. I don't like aliens. I just my body can't handle it. I know it's stupid. Said this before I did not like that they were doing. I mean I did that. I did you know that I actually felt like a nod to the William Shatner Twilight Zone episode. Yeah. Right. They felt they were had like those little furry Gremlin suits and they were kind of peering, you know, over over the edge of things and it felt very much a nod to that.

31:07 At which I appreciate it. It's cool. You could tell a lot of this stuff comes from. I mean, he wanted to make like the Great American UFO story and you can tell he did nods from a lot of the films that have come before that, like War of the Worlds and, you know, Encounters of the Third Kind and just that mysterious present that's up there. But you can't do anything because they're omnipresent currently. But that scene I just I don't It did stuff to me that I, I almost could not watch that movie because of that, I just like, really was like, no, no, no, no. But I did like the fact that like he tried to record them from his, like, razor flip phone and couldn't really do it, but kind of did but his character, specifically, almost every time. You think the characters going to do the thing, they normally do in horror movies, he says, nope. He's like, nope, I'm not gonna know. Mmm.

32:01 Nope. If there's one thing that we can learn from o.j. It's that to always look before you leap. Oh my God, right? And I feel like that's, that's what we need more of, right? I mean, that was the downfall of antler and this, he just he just left and so far and the same thing with Jupe. He left, he didn't think about it. He played with something you didn't know about. He's an idiot. Whereas, o.j. was willing to stop to take the time to think about things and figure it out. Yeah. And that's how you survive. Yeah, the scene where After jean, jackets sucks up the entire audience and Jupe and all of them and then jean jacket decides to go over the Haywood residents and just shit all over it or just Amit bombing all the blood and everything.

32:49 I had no idea what was happening, but it was cool as hell. What was happening? They was so cool, but it was like there's, there's a lot of stuff falling. Yeah. And they, They really were accepting of that. Whereas, I mean, I think that they had a bit of a freak out but I would have been screaming curled into a ball someplace. Well, Angel was definitely freaking out more. Yeah, than M was in that house. Yeah, that's true. He was like, underneath the table with a knife. Yeah, I just love that scene of o.j. in the car because it's not moving and he tries to look up to see if jean jacket is above him. And man, it's just So, so cool.

33:32 They added the fog, they added that like, what is happening? And that's when the Predator really turned. It was like, okay, I'm pissed off now. I'm just gonna want to fuck you guys up and there's Mom, I'm not just hunting. Now, I just want to fuck you guys. I'm trying to enjoy a nice dinner and you guys are just messing it up for me. My fault. You all just gave me it like easily. You were sitting in a bowl for me and I ate you. That's it. Oh man, II just I really liked this movie. I think. It I didn't know what I expected going in because I think now we've gotten three movies from Jordan Peele, in this particular genre and where we don't know what to expect, what is it going to be?

34:15 And it made me excited for whatever he's going to come out with next. I want to see, I don't know. I'm trying to think of like what type of horror would be cool for him to do next. Some sort of ghost, haunted house thing. I feel like I feel like, like Poltergeist, The Possession e-types. Yeah, yeah. I think that's what I would like to see next. We got aliens, we got doppelgangers. We got racists. I mean, that is the scariest internalized, trauma and stuff. Yeah, but I've been yeah, I want to see what that that's like. Yeah, I also enjoyed this. I think that it did its job and left me thinking. It left me feeling uneasy personally, I do wish there was a little more character development. I wish we learned a little bit more. About the family but I thought the structure of it as well. I really liked in my mind ghost and clover got away. They just ran into the hills, I don't think that jean jacket 87. That's what I'm telling myself and I'm just gonna let that be yeah.

35:21 What I believe? Yeah I think there was some really masterful work. He's really flexing, his creativity muscles here and going all out I think he's like cemented himself. I've been in this genre and now he's free to just kind of go with it. I did think that it was interesting in the beginning. The Bible verse or the verse that came up, that really just literally told you what the movie is about. It says, I will cast a Bombadil filth upon you make you vile and make you a spectacle. That's that's what it is. I mean like it's just the theme of spectacle and like what you do with that and how you exploit that or how you don't exploit that, that's what the movie is. I mean it's a lot more goes into it but yeah and I think the the The final sort of thought on it is nope. No, no.

36:15 Don't do it. No, nope. So good. Amazing cast, amazing. I mean, let us know what you thought of this movie, because there's a lot, there's a lot that happened in this movie, but I'm sure we missed some themes. Like, you know, let's not let us know, right? I'd love. I really want to know what other people think, you know? It's I'm coming at it from my experience. So I'm so curious. What others? What others thought after watching it. Yeah. Like this is one of his interesting enough. I did look at, you know, what the ratings were for this. It wasn't as high as the other ones but I feel like a lot of people loved it. But, you know, I think there's that disconnect again, but so many people are talking about it and still talk about it to this day and hold it so high. I mean, I think that it's not bad it anyway. No no, no, it's just compared to the other two and it felt like maybe not as strong.

37:05 There are people that do don't think to put this in a horror counter Cory which I do think is more sci-fi, you think, interesting? I think it's horror. I mean I think the base of it is horror mmm, but with horror there's different subgenres that you can go to. So I feel like there's so many genres mixed in this one that it's interesting to see where people are placed. Yeah. Well, in that right, if you think of like alien it's or it's hot. It's site it takes place in space, but it's scary as heck. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, those aliens. I could handle. It's just the little green men looking one, my body. Shuts down. Noah said, I will gladly take an alien that has a mouth coming out of its mouth and has acid for blood.

37:46 That will also put a baby in your chest. Yeah, it's fine. Do it. I'll do it. Yeah. And also like the thing. Yeah, sure. Do a mimic, you know, shape-shifting weird body horror thing? I could handle that but as soon as they look like stupid little green men with those eyes, I catch your Crux to this day. Think, I've said it before I haven't seen, ET never will. Well, that's fine. Fine. Okay good. I'm glad you think that Steven Spielberg does nothing but nobody else come for me. I think it's all right. But yeah, let us know what you think. Look out for the next round of movies that you want us to cover is a, we might have some interesting ones on their bullet. Train might be on there, but which I will definitely be on this and they'll say no.

38:30 Again, we're never gonna get to it, which is fine. Alright, bye bye. Bye.
