Subscribe, all that good stuff.

33
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,300
We have a lot to talk about this
movie is a lot.

34
00:02:09,300 --> 00:02:12,300
It's very intimidating.
So, like, spoiler alert.

35
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,900
Had brutally.
Jordan peels Trilogy of his

36
00:02:15,900 --> 00:02:19,100
horror movies.
All right, let us officially

37
00:02:19,100 --> 00:02:21,500
take a bite of.
Nope.

38
00:02:21,500 --> 00:02:23,800
Nope, I think that's the
shortest one ever.

39
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,400
Nope.
After their father is killed by

40
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,900
a coin dropping from the sky
siblings.

41
00:02:28,900 --> 00:02:31,500
O.j. and emerald are left.
Holding the reins of their

42
00:02:31,500 --> 00:02:34,900
family business.
Trying to make ends meet o.j.

43
00:02:34,900 --> 00:02:38,000
Begins selling their horses to
Joop Park, the owner of a

44
00:02:38,008 --> 00:02:40,800
western theme park nearby,
trying to work through the

45
00:02:40,808 --> 00:02:45,300
distance between them O J and M
begin experiencing odd phenomena

46
00:02:45,300 --> 00:02:48,100
on the ranch ultimately.
Feeling like there is something

47
00:02:48,100 --> 00:02:50,300
looming in the sky above them
went on Tom.

48
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:54,100
Yeah, they decide to save their
father's business by capturing

49
00:02:54,100 --> 00:02:57,400
the currencies on film for that
Oprah moment.

50
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,900
Unfortunately, for them the
looming structure in the sky has

51
00:03:00,900 --> 00:03:04,000
an insatiable appetite.
Ooh, yum.

52
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:10,500
He wants to take a bite of many.
Bytes aquadolls say, oh man.

53
00:03:10,700 --> 00:03:11,900
All right, should we get into
it?

54
00:03:11,900 --> 00:03:15,600
Let's Do it.
You guys know I love horror I

55
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,400
love it.
Derek obviously does to some of

56
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,300
our very early episodes were
based on horror and we continue

57
00:03:22,300 --> 00:03:24,900
to do that.
Absolutely Midnight Sun, the

58
00:03:26,300 --> 00:03:28,600
know.
Yeah, the horrors of Edward

59
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,600
Cullen being a stalker.
Oh my God.

60
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:36,200
But I'm always excited when
specifically Jordan Peele.

61
00:03:36,700 --> 00:03:38,500
Does his work?
This is his third film that he's

62
00:03:38,500 --> 00:03:41,100
done.
He to get out us and now.

63
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:45,100
Nope.
If you haven't watched his 2019

64
00:03:45,100 --> 00:03:48,400
Twilight Zone, Revival mmm.
Very very, very much.

65
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:52,100
You should do that because it's
fantastic and got cancelled way

66
00:03:52,100 --> 00:03:53,500
before its time.
I agree.

67
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,200
One of the things that I love
about Jordan peels work is that

68
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,500
it's horror meet social
commentary, right, you know, and

69
00:04:00,500 --> 00:04:04,700
so it's not just a slasher film,
it's not just an alien film.

70
00:04:04,700 --> 00:04:07,900
And even the Twilight Zone
episodes themselves, they talked

71
00:04:07,900 --> 00:04:11,100
about, you know, gun violence.
They talked about police

72
00:04:11,100 --> 00:04:15,300
brutality, they talked Out, you
know, immigration and so, I

73
00:04:15,300 --> 00:04:18,399
think that he has this really
magical way of layering these

74
00:04:18,399 --> 00:04:20,700
different topics within the
genre of horror.

75
00:04:20,700 --> 00:04:23,500
And that's really impressive the
Twilight zones right up, his

76
00:04:23,500 --> 00:04:26,200
alley.
Because even the original with

77
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:30,200
Rod Serling was very much social
commentary the entire time in a

78
00:04:30,207 --> 00:04:33,800
Trailblazer of its time.
I feel like the first two movies

79
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:40,000
he did us and get out.
We're more layered in that.

80
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,200
Hmm and I feel like this one was
more.

81
00:04:42,900 --> 00:04:46,300
Face value.
It was like, this is like this

82
00:04:46,300 --> 00:04:47,600
is what it's about.
Yeah.

83
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,700
So yeah, it's kind of feels like
the first ones were a little

84
00:04:49,700 --> 00:04:50,900
more nuanced.
Right.

85
00:04:50,900 --> 00:04:53,700
Whereas this one is like bam
your face.

86
00:04:53,700 --> 00:04:55,600
Yeah.
And of course it makes you think

87
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,300
about things and it makes you
go.

88
00:04:57,300 --> 00:04:59,900
What the fuck is happening.
But also give you those moments

89
00:04:59,900 --> 00:05:01,700
of literally being.
Nope.

90
00:05:01,700 --> 00:05:04,600
Just like some of the actors do
in this movie.

91
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,800
And this one, I love that he
described this.

92
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,300
As he did, a bunch of interviews
when this is coming out and he

93
00:05:10,308 --> 00:05:14,700
said this is about like The
Great American UFO story.

94
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,300
That's what this is, like, it's
that big story.

95
00:05:17,300 --> 00:05:22,000
The spectacle, the American
dream, so to see how they played

96
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,200
that out and also using
real-life examples to interweave

97
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:29,400
that I felt like it was really
well done, but it wasn't so

98
00:05:30,100 --> 00:05:33,700
buried to where, you know there.
I think there's a college that

99
00:05:33,700 --> 00:05:37,900
doesn't entire class on get out
so, wow, it's not so buried in

100
00:05:37,900 --> 00:05:40,700
there to where you have to
really, you know, think too much

101
00:05:40,700 --> 00:05:43,300
but there's still a lot in there
that you do have to think about.

102
00:05:43,300 --> 00:05:46,100
Yeah, I mean, as I, you know,
I've been mulling over this

103
00:05:46,100 --> 00:05:48,600
since since we watched it and I
found it very scary.

104
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:52,000
I mean, there's something about,
I don't like again.

105
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,900
I've said this before, I don't
like when people are screaming

106
00:05:53,900 --> 00:05:56,800
for help, I don't like when
they're scared in some way,

107
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,300
that's why I tend to stay away
from like the Saw movies and

108
00:05:59,300 --> 00:06:02,700
slasher movies, but I have a
very vivid memory of watching

109
00:06:02,700 --> 00:06:06,300
Fire in the Sky.
When I was like eight, my

110
00:06:06,300 --> 00:06:09,400
parents got it from Blockbuster
and I tried to close my eyes but

111
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:14,800
him screaming for help.
I started I don't like and Tom

112
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,200
Cruise War of the Worlds, when
the aliens are like holding

113
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,600
humans in their little, you
know, fanny packs and the

114
00:06:20,608 --> 00:06:22,400
heating them and everyone's
screaming.

115
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,500
And so, we have sort of that
experience on that sort of, we

116
00:06:25,500 --> 00:06:28,000
have that experience in.
Nope.

117
00:06:28,300 --> 00:06:29,900
So, it made me feel very
uncomfortable.

118
00:06:29,900 --> 00:06:33,100
So that horror thing is very
real, but as I was mulling it

119
00:06:33,100 --> 00:06:35,600
over, I'm going.
I feel like, there's what, you

120
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,400
know, what else is he trying to
say?

121
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,500
Unlike the thing that I sort of
landed on with this is

122
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,200
exploitation right in all of its
forms.

123
00:06:42,300 --> 00:06:46,800
Yeah, you know, whether it's
humans exploiting animals or

124
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:51,100
white people like exploiting
black people and it just like

125
00:06:51,100 --> 00:06:54,000
felt like they were a number of
levels of that representation

126
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,100
throughout.
Yeah, that definitely is a big

127
00:06:56,100 --> 00:06:59,100
theme and I think the more that
you do sit there and think about

128
00:06:59,100 --> 00:07:01,800
it and then you realize what
this movie is trying to tell you

129
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,600
like what is Gordy even have to
do with this movie and what I

130
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,500
trying to say and I feel like he
used that very traumatic and

131
00:07:09,500 --> 00:07:14,100
horror scene.
Show that this is one way that

132
00:07:14,100 --> 00:07:18,300
somebody uses exploitation and
then the siblings, the Hayward

133
00:07:18,300 --> 00:07:23,900
siblings a word he would
siblings use it because they're

134
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,800
continuously being exploited,
but also being forgotten.

135
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,600
So they feel like they have to
make sure to get this thing or

136
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,000
else.
Nobody will believe them, right?

137
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,500
Which kind of, I mean, when it
comes to UFOs, yeah, you do have

138
00:07:35,500 --> 00:07:41,600
to get it but it goes right back
to that. 1878 image of the

139
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,700
blackjack.
He on the horse, one of the

140
00:07:43,700 --> 00:07:47,400
fathers of Cinema, they know,
the person that filmed it, they

141
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:51,900
know the horse's name and EG but
the black jockey completely

142
00:07:51,900 --> 00:07:54,900
forgotten from history.
And I didn't know that, I

143
00:07:54,907 --> 00:07:57,400
thought when they said in the
movie I'm like, oh, that is a

144
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,700
descendent know that he just
fictionalized that because

145
00:08:01,100 --> 00:08:04,100
nobody knows who that is.
So that's where the whole Oprah

146
00:08:04,100 --> 00:08:06,200
shock comes in.
They have to do it but they're

147
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,500
also exploiting it themselves.
Yeah.

148
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,200
And then there's even that layer
towards the end of the movie

149
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:15,300
when the tea TMZ reporter comes.
That was so funny.

150
00:08:15,300 --> 00:08:17,600
It was so funny.
But this is again these are the

151
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,500
lengths that these people are
willing to go to.

152
00:08:19,500 --> 00:08:23,000
They have, you know, he has that
like mirror helmet on and he's

153
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,300
trying to exploit their
experience for his own game.

154
00:08:26,300 --> 00:08:29,300
Right?
Let's talk about Jus per second

155
00:08:29,500 --> 00:08:34,900
because I feel like his is such
an interesting Yes, through line

156
00:08:34,900 --> 00:08:39,200
through this movie and it's
terrifying, but it's also, so

157
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:43,000
Jordan Peele, his other two
movies, get out and us very much

158
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,200
had to do with trauma.
I had to do with how these

159
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,700
people deal with trauma, and
what that means from the outside

160
00:08:48,700 --> 00:08:50,200
world and how the internalize
it.

161
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,200
This one is the same way.
I mean, we have the siblings

162
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,400
that lost their father in a very
freak accident from stuff, a

163
00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:00,700
raining down from the sky, but
then you also have Juke where he

164
00:09:00,700 --> 00:09:05,000
was a child star.
And Live taped this traumatic

165
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:10,400
experience but what he does is
that he exploits that trauma and

166
00:09:10,408 --> 00:09:13,700
he can't, he built an entire
park, you know, symbolizing and

167
00:09:13,700 --> 00:09:16,400
immortalizing his thing.
And then also within that Park

168
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:21,300
is a tiny little Museum that he
sells out for people to beat to

169
00:09:21,300 --> 00:09:24,200
stay in, which is horrible,
right?

170
00:09:24,300 --> 00:09:28,500
But he's doing it to exploit
that experience and he I almost

171
00:09:28,500 --> 00:09:31,500
feel like in some way he feels
like he's like this chosen

172
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,900
person in a way.
Because he was the only one that

173
00:09:33,900 --> 00:09:38,400
wasn't killed by Gordy.
But that whole scene, if you

174
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:42,300
really break it down, the only
reason why he didn't get killed

175
00:09:42,300 --> 00:09:45,200
is because he didn't make eye
contact right with the chimp,

176
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,900
right?
So if but he thinks that there's

177
00:09:47,900 --> 00:09:50,500
another meaning to that, and
that really plays into who his

178
00:09:50,500 --> 00:09:55,400
character is.
But man, that that scene is not

179
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,400
fun to watch and it shows it
three times.

180
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:58,900
Yeah.
Every time it goes back to it,

181
00:09:58,900 --> 00:10:01,000
it just feels more and more
uncomfortable.

182
00:10:01,100 --> 00:10:03,800
Yeah.
And you know, thinking about the

183
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,600
thing of him, not looking in
Gordie's eyes, right?

184
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,300
I feel like there's even another
layer to that, like, when

185
00:10:09,300 --> 00:10:13,300
exploitation is happening, are
we viewing it as viewers?

186
00:10:13,300 --> 00:10:15,400
Are we taking it in?
And also being part of the

187
00:10:15,408 --> 00:10:19,600
problem, or are we looking away
and saying, nope, I'm not going

188
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,300
to interact with that, right?
Because we even see that with,

189
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,100
with OJ.
When they're training the

190
00:10:25,100 --> 00:10:27,100
horses.
And then he uses that with the

191
00:10:27,100 --> 00:10:29,800
creature, I guess we'll just
call it the creature or the UFO,

192
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:31,800
whatever it is jacket, jean
jacket here.

193
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:35,000
Right does have a name with jean
jacket where don't look it in

194
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:36,800
the eye.
Don't exploit it don't be a part

195
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:40,000
of it.
And so Joop never learns that

196
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,800
lesson, right?
And even his entire park that

197
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,300
he's created is exploiting
everything exploiting horses

198
00:10:46,300 --> 00:10:50,200
exploiting the experience and
then even towards the end, he

199
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:55,000
tries to exploit jean jacket.
He ultimately leads to his

200
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,600
demise.
Yeah, we learned that o.j. so

201
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,600
the trauma that the siblings
have, they are dealing with it

202
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,600
and opposite ways.
O.j. wants to do diligent work

203
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,600
with the business and really
good at out there but he's also

204
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,700
struggling.
So he's selling horses to chew

205
00:11:11,300 --> 00:11:13,400
for whatever reason.
He doesn't, he just selling them

206
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:17,600
to him because he'll buy them.
You have em where she's saying

207
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,800
she kind of wants to distance
yourself a little bit but also

208
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:24,800
tell everybody that will listen
what she can do and Then Jupe.

209
00:11:25,100 --> 00:11:29,700
He is like I don't know what
he's thinking of like, oh, I can

210
00:11:29,700 --> 00:11:32,700
dismiss serious thing in the
sky.

211
00:11:32,700 --> 00:11:35,400
Oh, it likes horses.
So I'll just buy these horses.

212
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:40,300
Have people watch this, eat this
horse, or take this horse up and

213
00:11:40,300 --> 00:11:44,500
expect it not to attack
everybody else that's there.

214
00:11:44,500 --> 00:11:48,300
It's just that level of like
immaturity not really

215
00:11:48,300 --> 00:11:52,300
understanding thinking that he's
like some chosen person

216
00:11:52,300 --> 00:11:53,500
touchable in some way.
Yeah.

217
00:11:53,700 --> 00:11:57,900
And it really did him in the ass
that scene where it it sucks.

218
00:11:57,900 --> 00:11:59,500
All those people up in the
audience.

219
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,000
Oh good.
This movie.

220
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:06,300
Beautiful cinematographer Hoyt
way to my they have worked on a

221
00:12:06,300 --> 00:12:08,700
lot of Christopher Nolan's
films, particularly

222
00:12:08,700 --> 00:12:12,800
Interstellar, and Dunkirk
beautifully, shot movies and you

223
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:14,300
really can see that through
this.

224
00:12:14,300 --> 00:12:17,900
It's very expansive.
They wanted to show so much of

225
00:12:17,900 --> 00:12:22,800
the Valley and the scene.
It just was a man, I loved it so

226
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,200
much the gist Just the way the
movie was shot in that scene

227
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:30,900
where Joop and The Spectators
get taken up into jean jacket

228
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,300
when we're in jean jacket with
them and they're like in the

229
00:12:34,300 --> 00:12:37,400
folds of itself.
So it got it is happening their

230
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,500
stomach.
It's frightening, it's scary,

231
00:12:40,500 --> 00:12:42,700
it's claustrophobic.
You're in there with them.

232
00:12:42,700 --> 00:12:46,000
You're feeling.
And what's so interesting about

233
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:50,100
jean jacket?
Is that it's a soft round

234
00:12:50,100 --> 00:12:52,200
design.
It looks exactly like what you

235
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,800
think of UFO, right?
Look like And so when you think

236
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:59,200
dangerous and scary, it's sharp.
Its bloody it's poking you and

237
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:03,000
this is like just swapping you
and intestinal tract and I

238
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,000
digesting you or whatever
happens.

239
00:13:05,300 --> 00:13:08,800
But it's so interesting that
these very soft colors.

240
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,800
These warm tones are so
frightening even though they

241
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,600
kind of feel opposite of what we
think of when we're supposed to

242
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,400
be scared.
Yeah he is subverting a lot of

243
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:22,300
expectations with this creature
because one we think that there

244
00:13:22,300 --> 00:13:25,900
is Little Green Men Inside of
in, it's not the entire entity

245
00:13:25,900 --> 00:13:29,800
is the entity and but then it
also doubles down on that

246
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,500
because it acts like a predator.
Don't look at it in its eye

247
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,800
which o.j. kind of came up with
that plan, he's like, okay.

248
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,300
Just don't look at it and it
does work for the most part

249
00:13:38,300 --> 00:13:40,600
until it gets angry and just
doesn't care.

250
00:13:40,700 --> 00:13:41,600
Yeah.
And then use it to cover

251
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,000
yourself in barbed wire or
something.

252
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:47,200
It doesn't like God angel.
I mean, smart very smart.

253
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,000
Yeah, try to eat me now.
I'm just covered in spikes.

254
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,500
Yeah, but then the creature
itself.

255
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:58,100
Completely transforms towards
the end is just like this

256
00:13:58,100 --> 00:14:01,600
Angelic looking still terrifying
with.

257
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,700
I don't its mouth /, I thing,
just flipping and flapping and

258
00:14:05,700 --> 00:14:10,300
changing terrifying, but it's
also it's changing how you might

259
00:14:10,300 --> 00:14:14,100
think about that, or maybe what
you would think, this creature

260
00:14:14,100 --> 00:14:17,400
would be because in the end, it
is kind of beautiful.

261
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,900
It's very much sort of like a
jellyfish in that sentence.

262
00:14:20,900 --> 00:14:22,800
Right?
These floating jellyfish there,

263
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,800
so ethereal Oil.
But sometimes if depending on

264
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:27,500
the type of it gets you you
could die.

265
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,600
I wonder if one of those So
speaking about you know,

266
00:14:30,700 --> 00:14:33,700
exploitation and you know
another thing that runs through

267
00:14:33,700 --> 00:14:36,400
this movie is very much like a
love letter to Hollywood because

268
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,100
you see all the little Easter
eggs throughout a year.

269
00:14:39,100 --> 00:14:41,800
You just see the movies that
they worked on like Scorpion

270
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,300
King and all this stuff and it
definitely seems like a

271
00:14:44,308 --> 00:14:48,700
satirical look at a lot of that
and the creature in a way jean

272
00:14:48,700 --> 00:14:52,200
jacket.
It's, I and the images that it

273
00:14:52,208 --> 00:14:55,900
kept showing was very Are ya?
Rectangular like a camera?

274
00:14:55,900 --> 00:14:58,800
Absolutely.
So I feel like that's on

275
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:00,400
purpose.
I did watching you.

276
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,900
Yeah, I didn't want to look up
anything about this movie, too.

277
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,900
You know, poison my thighs or to
be influenced by.

278
00:15:05,900 --> 00:15:07,500
Yeah, there we go.
That's the word.

279
00:15:07,900 --> 00:15:10,100
But that's how I felt about
that.

280
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,600
The whole movie itself is
incredibly unsettling.

281
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:16,000
It just I felt uneasy after
watching it.

282
00:15:16,900 --> 00:15:20,700
I did want to talk a little bit
about o.j. and emerald kind of

283
00:15:20,700 --> 00:15:24,900
bouncing off what you said.
So we only me Meet their father

284
00:15:25,100 --> 00:15:26,100
for the first?
What?

285
00:15:26,100 --> 00:15:27,800
Ten minutes of the movie?
Yeah.

286
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:29,600
Right.
And so Legend of an actor, by

287
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,700
the way.
Absolutely, he's incredible.

288
00:15:31,700 --> 00:15:33,800
And it's kind of upsetting that
he wasn't in it more.

289
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,300
The thing that's interesting
about the father, right?

290
00:15:37,300 --> 00:15:41,200
Is that he has the know-how and
the love for the horses.

291
00:15:41,500 --> 00:15:44,300
But also he has the personality
to be on set and work with

292
00:15:44,300 --> 00:15:47,900
people and it seems like those
talents were split between 0.

293
00:15:47,900 --> 00:15:50,000
J and M.
Oh yeah, right.

294
00:15:50,100 --> 00:15:53,400
So o.j. has the talent.
He has the know how he is.

295
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:55,200
And he wants to work with the
horses.

296
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,300
He's feels attached to them.
And on the other hand is the

297
00:15:58,300 --> 00:16:01,000
personality, but she doesn't
want to deal with all the little

298
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,700
things that you have to do.
So, they're so different and I

299
00:16:03,700 --> 00:16:06,000
think that's what causes a lot
of the friction between them.

300
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,700
I do wish that we had a little
more back story about the two of

301
00:16:09,700 --> 00:16:12,800
them.
I mean I mean Daniel Kahlua and

302
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:14,600
Keke Palmer.
You fall in love with them

303
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:16,700
immediately.
Their chemistry is great.

304
00:16:16,700 --> 00:16:18,600
Like you feel like they're
siblings?

305
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,300
Yeah.
Just those little moments real

306
00:16:20,300 --> 00:16:23,100
kind of like Paquette each other
but then also support each

307
00:16:23,100 --> 00:16:24,900
other.
And then, yeah, it's great.

308
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,500
It's very much that thing of,
like, I can bully my sibling but

309
00:16:28,500 --> 00:16:31,500
you can't.
Yeah, you know, duh, those are

310
00:16:31,500 --> 00:16:34,900
the rules so that juxtaposition
juxtaposition.

311
00:16:34,900 --> 00:16:39,300
Excuse me, between them is, is
something interesting to watch.

312
00:16:39,300 --> 00:16:42,700
I just wish we got to see a
little bit more of it and how

313
00:16:42,700 --> 00:16:45,000
they work, like, how they became
who they are.

314
00:16:45,100 --> 00:16:48,700
Yeah, we get very little
flashbacks or backstory to it,

315
00:16:48,700 --> 00:16:53,800
but it does seem I'm curious.
If the reason why m is that Way,

316
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,300
I mean aside from that's just
who she is.

317
00:16:57,100 --> 00:17:00,600
They did make it a point to talk
about how she was the one that

318
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,500
was supposed to train jean
jacket.

319
00:17:02,500 --> 00:17:06,900
That was her horse, that was her
horse but then he had o.j. do

320
00:17:06,900 --> 00:17:08,500
it.
And so it was almost like she

321
00:17:08,500 --> 00:17:12,099
was pushed aside from actually
being able to do that because

322
00:17:12,099 --> 00:17:14,400
then she could have actually
been more like her father

323
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,900
because she has a personality,
she didn't really get the

324
00:17:17,900 --> 00:17:20,300
training or the experience to do
that.

325
00:17:20,500 --> 00:17:22,200
So then that's where that split
happened.

326
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,099
That makes sense.
And And I don't know if there's

327
00:17:25,099 --> 00:17:28,099
some resentment there.
Hmm, it seemed a little bit but

328
00:17:28,099 --> 00:17:33,000
not completely because I think
he Palmer's character em, she

329
00:17:34,100 --> 00:17:36,500
kind of leaned into it, she's
like this is where I'm at now.

330
00:17:36,500 --> 00:17:39,700
So this is who I'm going to be,
don't ask me to do that other

331
00:17:39,700 --> 00:17:42,000
stuff because I'm not going to.
Because when she went on the set

332
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:46,000
in the beginning with the horse,
she kind of left him, she was

333
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:47,700
like, okay I'm going to be the
personality.

334
00:17:47,700 --> 00:17:50,200
Now I'm going to go talk to
somebody to gain what I'm doing

335
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:51,300
succeeds.
Yeah.

336
00:17:51,300 --> 00:17:54,400
Yeah, and that's it.
Lays the I'm work that way but

337
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:58,000
it was interesting to just
father died than the siblings,

338
00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:58,900
right?
Yeah.

339
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:03,000
I do want to say though I that
scene when they are on set you

340
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,800
know and whatever it is, the
commercial, whatever they're

341
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:09,200
doing, she stands up there and
she's like, you know, hi, I'm

342
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:10,700
Emerald.
Hey would, you know, blah, blah

343
00:18:10,700 --> 00:18:13,700
blah.
I also do sewing and motorcycle

344
00:18:13,700 --> 00:18:16,000
breathing this and that and
you're kind of like, oh, that's

345
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:17,600
really funny.
You know, she's trying to tell

346
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,400
everybody her other talents but
what I really loved about that

347
00:18:20,500 --> 00:18:23,800
is that we're told what she can
do and then throughout Out the

348
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,500
movie.
We see that she can like she can

349
00:18:26,500 --> 00:18:29,300
use those talents and I feel
like sometimes the movies you

350
00:18:29,300 --> 00:18:31,400
like, I don't know.
Sure.

351
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:32,300
Of course, right?
Yeah.

352
00:18:32,300 --> 00:18:33,600
Oh, yeah, of course.
She knows how to ride a

353
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:35,900
motorcycle.
Of course, she knows how to sew

354
00:18:35,900 --> 00:18:37,800
giant, you know Flags.
Yeah.

355
00:18:37,900 --> 00:18:40,700
But she tells us right up front.
I have a million talents and

356
00:18:40,700 --> 00:18:42,300
then we get to see those
talents.

357
00:18:42,500 --> 00:18:46,000
So by having her make that
speech, we're like, oh yeah,

358
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:47,300
here she goes.
She could do that thing.

359
00:18:47,300 --> 00:18:51,000
That you said she can do rather
than being like that makes no

360
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:52,100
sense.
How could she do that?

361
00:18:52,100 --> 00:18:53,400
Like what is the point of you
telling me?

362
00:18:53,500 --> 00:18:56,200
This to right, right?
So I really appreciated that

363
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,600
that we see her doing the things
that she says she could do at

364
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,800
the beginning and of his movies.
I think this is the least scary

365
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,300
face value.
Yeah, I just like it is whore

366
00:19:05,300 --> 00:19:10,000
obviously, and it's terrifying.
I feel like this is like that

367
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:14,900
summer monster movie where it's
not, you know, get our us

368
00:19:14,900 --> 00:19:17,600
because us I felt like that one
to me is probably more

369
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,800
terrifying of the three, the
home invasion e.

370
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,000
What is going on?
They look like you running for

371
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:28,000
your life, your stabby.
It's very much more like, mmm, I

372
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:29,600
like where he's going with
these.

373
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,900
He's very, he's not only
experiment like experimenting

374
00:19:32,900 --> 00:19:38,900
with different genres within his
film, but he's also So showing,

375
00:19:38,900 --> 00:19:42,100
what else he can do?
He can do a horror monster

376
00:19:42,100 --> 00:19:46,600
Summer movie and then also a
very like closed, intimate us

377
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,800
type thing, and then even
smaller get out.

378
00:19:50,100 --> 00:19:55,900
Yeah, I love, I love Jordan
Peele because he is not defined

379
00:19:55,900 --> 00:19:58,800
by any one genre of media,
right?

380
00:19:58,900 --> 00:20:03,900
We, I think most of us met peel
from Key & Peele, oh my God,

381
00:20:03,900 --> 00:20:08,300
like a hilarious sketch comedy
show that like had Laughing your

382
00:20:08,300 --> 00:20:10,900
ass off.
And then when he came with get

383
00:20:10,900 --> 00:20:13,400
out, it was like, whoa, whoa,
whoa, wait a minute, what?

384
00:20:13,900 --> 00:20:15,600
And then it just keeps growing
from there.

385
00:20:15,700 --> 00:20:18,900
And I think that he's not afraid
to play with these different

386
00:20:18,900 --> 00:20:21,700
genres within the horrors.
He shouldn't because this is,

387
00:20:21,700 --> 00:20:24,100
this is like that.
It's a western, it's a mystery,

388
00:20:24,100 --> 00:20:27,000
it's an extraterrestrial thing,
it's a drama, it's not a

389
00:20:27,008 --> 00:20:30,500
spectacle and he does wrap all
that into one.

390
00:20:30,700 --> 00:20:32,500
It's not just Cowboys and
Aliens.

391
00:20:32,700 --> 00:20:34,900
It's a lot of other stuff that's
going on.

392
00:20:34,900 --> 00:20:38,500
He actually reminds me very much
of like, Stephen King.

393
00:20:39,100 --> 00:20:41,700
You know, Stephen King can write
anything.

394
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,100
Yeah, you know he can write
Stand By Me.

395
00:20:44,100 --> 00:20:48,300
He can write carry, he can write
the institution fairytale,

396
00:20:48,300 --> 00:20:51,800
they're all over the place, but
the base of it is is that he's

397
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,500
talented, right?
So he doesn't need to be defined

398
00:20:54,500 --> 00:20:55,900
by a genre.
And I feel like we're

399
00:20:55,900 --> 00:20:57,800
experiencing that with Jordan
Peele.

400
00:20:58,100 --> 00:21:02,900
Yeah, I mean, there is something
to be said about comedians being

401
00:21:02,900 --> 00:21:06,700
able to do drama and horror very
well.

402
00:21:06,700 --> 00:21:10,000
And I think that speaks To their
talent of being a comedian

403
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:14,800
because you have to know how to
communicate things to get the

404
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,800
thing that you want.
You're doing.

405
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:21,000
Comedy is very purposeful,
there's a you you go over, you

406
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,100
go over, you punch up the jokes,
you go to open mics, you do all

407
00:21:24,100 --> 00:21:27,600
this stuff and you learn how to
get to the end goal that you

408
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:32,000
want by doing the things to lead
them there and you know even

409
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,900
with Bill Hader doing Barry and
doing all the other stuff that

410
00:21:34,900 --> 00:21:39,700
he does but then he was on SNL.
Just being a complete buffoon

411
00:21:39,700 --> 00:21:43,900
sometimes, but it shows the
level of, oh, these comedians

412
00:21:43,900 --> 00:21:46,000
aren't just there to be
slapstick.

413
00:21:46,100 --> 00:21:48,700
They can do more than that, and
I think Jordan Peele is like a

414
00:21:48,708 --> 00:21:50,900
driving force.
So that not only for that.

415
00:21:50,900 --> 00:21:55,200
But also, this like Resurgence
of like black horror, which is

416
00:21:55,500 --> 00:21:57,800
amazing.
Totally and you know, when we, I

417
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,900
was thinking a lot about the
cast of this is the very small

418
00:22:00,900 --> 00:22:02,300
cast.
I mean there is small, even the

419
00:22:02,300 --> 00:22:08,400
extras there, I mean, in that
one scene in dupes, Theme park.

420
00:22:08,700 --> 00:22:11,600
I mean, what there's maybe 20
people in the crowd, so it's not

421
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:15,600
a lot and of our principal
players where it's dive, it's a

422
00:22:15,608 --> 00:22:19,400
diverse cast, right?
I mean, maybe I'm trying to

423
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,500
like, I'm trying to think like
was antler hulst.

424
00:22:22,500 --> 00:22:25,800
The cinematographer that came
from the commercial, maybe he

425
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:27,800
was white.
I think he was right.

426
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,300
Yeah, I would assume so he was
the only one.

427
00:22:30,300 --> 00:22:33,000
So we're going looking at this
like incredibly diverse cast and

428
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:37,500
Jordan Peele is so good at doing
that as well of like making

429
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:39,200
Sure, there's representation.
Yeah.

430
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:42,700
The character, the extra
characters that do come in to

431
00:22:42,700 --> 00:22:45,900
help with the final climax or
the Battle of jean.

432
00:22:45,900 --> 00:22:49,600
Jacket is interesting, you know,
angel, I'm not too sure.

433
00:22:49,900 --> 00:22:52,300
I could be wrong.
And you guys can, you know, add

434
00:22:52,300 --> 00:22:56,900
us, comment below.
If if you understood more of why

435
00:22:56,900 --> 00:23:00,000
he was there, he was the only
one that I felt not out of

436
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,700
place, but I was like, okay, he
worked at the place where they

437
00:23:03,700 --> 00:23:05,500
got their surveillance stuff
from.

438
00:23:05,500 --> 00:23:07,500
He helped them do that.
Fantastic.

439
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:11,200
People lived in it as as well.
The only backstory really get of

440
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,900
him is that his girlfriend broke
up with him and it's just I'm,

441
00:23:15,100 --> 00:23:17,300
yeah, it's like, he's pouring
all of himself into this.

442
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,100
I don't know.
Pass it.

443
00:23:20,100 --> 00:23:22,000
Like, I kept trying to think
about it and I think I was

444
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,700
thinking more of the other
people and I was like, what was

445
00:23:24,700 --> 00:23:28,600
his purpose?
I loved him in it, but I just

446
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:33,300
I'm just curious on like why?
Yeah I was I was thinking that

447
00:23:33,300 --> 00:23:35,800
as well.
I mean other than the Techno how

448
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:40,000
I mean was it just good to have?
To have him as a third in their

449
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,400
lives Duo, right?
To kind of come in and say like

450
00:23:42,500 --> 00:23:43,500
well this is what's really going
on.

451
00:23:43,500 --> 00:23:46,700
This is what's happening.
You know, I think like almost

452
00:23:46,700 --> 00:23:50,400
like a third party saying.
Yeah, I believe you yes I mean

453
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,200
he did find out that the cloud
didn't move right?

454
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,500
You know, so he definitely had a
purpose in the movie.

455
00:23:55,500 --> 00:23:57,800
I'm just like, what was his
meaning?

456
00:23:58,600 --> 00:23:59,600
No I don't.
Exactly.

457
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:03,500
I think you make a good point
and other than being the guy who

458
00:24:03,500 --> 00:24:05,400
knew how to work the cameras.
Yeah.

459
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:09,600
And the the cinematographer that
they bring Again and it's very

460
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:13,300
raspy rugged sounding guy that
seems very pretentious and his

461
00:24:13,300 --> 00:24:18,200
work really in the end, he
decides to help them.

462
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:22,000
So that we could get the
impossible shot, the Oprah shot.

463
00:24:22,500 --> 00:24:26,700
But also in the end, he exploits
that and goes further and ends

464
00:24:26,700 --> 00:24:29,500
up killing himself because of
that other shot.

465
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,000
Yeah, and it's like, he should
have just stuck with the plan.

466
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,900
The plan was amazing and I think
it was a really fun way to do a

467
00:24:35,908 --> 00:24:39,000
climax of a movie where They're
not Little Green Men but the

468
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,500
thing itself is it entity but he
got the shot.

469
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:46,000
He got it to begin with and then
he wanted to get more of a shot

470
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:49,600
and I love that like
juxtaposition between usually in

471
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:53,400
these like Invasion and alien
stories, you see a big shootout,

472
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:57,300
somebody has like this giant gun
and in place of a giant gun was

473
00:24:57,300 --> 00:25:01,600
a hand operated camera and so
just seeing that it was

474
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,100
interesting to see that and he
went too far.

475
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,800
He did he really just went too
far and I think that her It's

476
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:11,500
that extra layer of commentary
with like, how far are you

477
00:25:11,500 --> 00:25:13,700
willing to go to get this thing,
right?

478
00:25:13,700 --> 00:25:14,100
Right.
Yeah.

479
00:25:14,100 --> 00:25:17,900
And he completely ruined
everything for himself and also

480
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,600
did they get the camera back?
Yes, they spit it out at the

481
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:21,100
end.
Yeah.

482
00:25:21,100 --> 00:25:25,900
And and there was the other role
of not a roll of film, I don't

483
00:25:25,900 --> 00:25:28,100
canister film.
I don't know what you home film,

484
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,000
like, for movies.
It's very complicated now, for

485
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:36,000
photography, but, you know, he
hand, Angel goes in that like

486
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,500
little blackout tent thing.
To change it out.

487
00:25:38,500 --> 00:25:42,200
So that one existed as well.
I mean the, the antler character

488
00:25:42,500 --> 00:25:45,400
was, was just bizarre all over
right from like you said, the

489
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,900
raspiness, but every time
they're kind of contacting him,

490
00:25:49,100 --> 00:25:51,200
he's watching animals kill each
other.

491
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,400
Like he's watching like old
footage of.

492
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,800
I don't know, like a boa
constrictor and yeah leopard or

493
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:58,900
whatever.
I mean, which obviously is like,

494
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,100
you know, playing into this idea
of jean jacket, being the

495
00:26:02,100 --> 00:26:05,100
predator and who's the prey and,
you know, there's in the last

496
00:26:05,100 --> 00:26:08,300
one we're seeing him watch.
We think that the The leopard is

497
00:26:08,300 --> 00:26:10,300
going to eat the snake but then
the snake ends up killing the

498
00:26:10,300 --> 00:26:12,400
leopard.
And so you know, it's like the

499
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:16,200
prey becoming the Predator.
So it I don't know what he just

500
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,000
came in.
He had again had the know-how it

501
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:22,600
was like we had OJ and emerald
who had the passion in the need

502
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,100
to stop this thing and then we
have the other two people who

503
00:26:25,100 --> 00:26:27,400
knew how to work cameras and
some yeah, some sense.

504
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:31,900
I almost feel like that it it
was a retelling of the black

505
00:26:31,900 --> 00:26:36,400
jockey and the film, I mean,
this guy who I'm I'm assuming

506
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:41,000
he's white, I really I think
he's white, they need him to do

507
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:45,100
the thing to like capture the
thing, you know what I mean?

508
00:26:45,100 --> 00:26:47,200
And then he overexploited that.
Hmm.

509
00:26:47,300 --> 00:26:49,200
So it's, they could have done
it.

510
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,900
I think that, you know, that the
Haywood siblings probably could

511
00:26:52,900 --> 00:26:56,400
have done it and they did more
of the work than anybody else in

512
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,700
this entire movie.
Yeah, well I mean it feels like

513
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:03,500
at the end, it really is 0.
J and M coming together with the

514
00:27:03,500 --> 00:27:06,500
horse with, was it?
Lucky that was left at the end,

515
00:27:06,500 --> 00:27:09,500
ya think?
That are the ones that end up

516
00:27:09,500 --> 00:27:13,800
defeating it and also capturing
it on film with that giant very

517
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:17,000
cool Polaroid.
Well, yeah, Jeeps Park.

518
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,900
I mean, I like that, that became
one of the final weapons of the

519
00:27:19,900 --> 00:27:22,000
thing.
It's a very analog thing and it

520
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,600
was very intense because you
wanted her to get that shot but

521
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,600
then she had to keep doing it
and then that extra layer of

522
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:33,500
using like a western, very what
was the beginning of Cinema

523
00:27:33,500 --> 00:27:37,400
inflatable thing to capture it
to capture this thing?

524
00:27:37,500 --> 00:27:43,000
I just, I love that like Clash
of Cinema ideas and themes, but

525
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,600
that was so cool.
I love the use of wacky,

526
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:49,000
inflatable, flailing up to man's
so many of them.

527
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,600
But it was so smart for them to
do that because wherever it is a

528
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:56,700
overhead, it turns out the
Electra electricity electricity,

529
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:01,700
but the images in this, when he
when o.j. is on the horse

530
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:06,400
running from jean jacket, and
it's so close behind him that

531
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:10,500
just looked One way to real and
three beautiful.

532
00:28:10,700 --> 00:28:13,200
I can't I just can't get over.
I think it's because of our

533
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,700
interview with ebenbolter.
Yeah, I'm just really paying

534
00:28:15,700 --> 00:28:17,700
attention to, like, how things
are shot now.

535
00:28:17,700 --> 00:28:19,900
And I'm like, this is so pretty
agreed.

536
00:28:19,900 --> 00:28:24,600
And if you think about, right,
it's there on this Ranch, which

537
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:26,700
is, I mean, there's mountains in
the background, there's blue

538
00:28:26,700 --> 00:28:30,300
skies, but for the most part,
it's a huge flat, expanse of

539
00:28:30,300 --> 00:28:33,200
land.
And so what the creators jobs

540
00:28:34,100 --> 00:28:37,300
were to do, where to how do we
use this flat land?

541
00:28:37,500 --> 00:28:40,600
Right.
And so the Inflatables Flags,

542
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:42,800
you know, these are the things
that are making it interesting.

543
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,700
We have this bear palette so
what do we use to paint in?

544
00:28:45,700 --> 00:28:47,900
Yeah, yeah.
I'll I'm very much I'm not too

545
00:28:47,900 --> 00:28:51,300
sure how much CGI or effects
were used.

546
00:28:51,300 --> 00:28:53,300
Obviously for the G jacket was
real.

547
00:28:53,300 --> 00:28:56,100
Yeah.
But I mean for the landscape I

548
00:28:56,100 --> 00:29:00,000
want to say it was all practical
looked very, you know, it's

549
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:03,400
giving me what's a good example?
Like, eternals word?

550
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,200
They didn't use a lot of green
screen and stuff.

551
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,400
They use actual locations and
practical stuff.

552
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,700
I think it adds to it a little
bit.

553
00:29:09,700 --> 00:29:12,300
It's been.
Everything is green screen for

554
00:29:12,300 --> 00:29:15,200
the entire thing.
You almost can sense that you

555
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,300
can almost sense that like the
background isn't as depth, as it

556
00:29:18,300 --> 00:29:21,300
should be sure.
But when you use this practical

557
00:29:21,300 --> 00:29:24,200
location and use it to your
advantage wear, jean jacket goes

558
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:28,700
over the ridge of the mountain.
It's just like, so it just makes

559
00:29:28,700 --> 00:29:33,400
you suspend disbelief, a little
easier, totally, as an aside

560
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,200
Noah, and I are working our way
through the James Bond movies.

561
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,000
Oh my Oh God, no, no eye has
seen them all.

562
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,500
I haven't seen any of them or
what 27.

563
00:29:41,500 --> 00:29:44,400
Yeah, so we're starting with the
Sean Connery ones and they're,

564
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,700
they've been released in HD now
and when you can tell that

565
00:29:47,700 --> 00:29:50,300
they're in front of a green
screen, whoo, doggy.

566
00:29:50,500 --> 00:29:55,000
I have never seen them in like
Ultra HD because obviously, they

567
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,800
weren't made during that.
And I used to have the whole

568
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:01,600
like DVD collection and we
watched From Russia with Love

569
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:07,400
last night and seeing how like
detailed it was unlike his

570
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,600
Couple it's awful.
He did not look like this when I

571
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,300
remember watching that.
But yeah, in the 60s, it looked

572
00:30:13,300 --> 00:30:15,100
great on film.
Fantastic.

573
00:30:15,100 --> 00:30:17,200
Yeah.
But like not in 2023 they really

574
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,300
put bronzer on totally
absolutely been out in the sun.

575
00:30:20,300 --> 00:30:22,400
Apparently does that like, oh
no, that's just too.

576
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,400
That's just to further your
point of being grateful for them

577
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,600
using more practical effects.
Yes.

578
00:30:27,900 --> 00:30:30,900
I mean, even there's, there's
the one scene where we think

579
00:30:30,900 --> 00:30:37,400
that there are these little
guys, guys, guys, guys, I, I

580
00:30:37,500 --> 00:30:42,500
Can't I do that was the scariest
part to me of the entire thing I

581
00:30:42,500 --> 00:30:44,500
do not.
I don't like aliens.

582
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,700
I just my body can't handle it.
I know it's stupid.

583
00:30:47,900 --> 00:30:50,400
Said this before I did not like
that they were doing.

584
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,800
I mean I did that.
I did you know that I actually

585
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:56,900
felt like a nod to the William
Shatner Twilight Zone episode.

586
00:30:56,900 --> 00:30:57,500
Yeah.
Right.

587
00:30:57,500 --> 00:31:00,200
They felt they were had like
those little furry Gremlin suits

588
00:31:00,300 --> 00:31:04,200
and they were kind of peering,
you know, over over the edge of

589
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,400
things and it felt very much a
nod to that.

590
00:31:07,500 --> 00:31:08,900
At which I appreciate it.
It's cool.

591
00:31:08,900 --> 00:31:11,000
You could tell a lot of this
stuff comes from.

592
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:15,100
I mean, he wanted to make like
the Great American UFO story and

593
00:31:15,100 --> 00:31:18,700
you can tell he did nods from a
lot of the films that have come

594
00:31:18,700 --> 00:31:21,600
before that, like War of the
Worlds and, you know, Encounters

595
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,500
of the Third Kind and just that
mysterious present that's up

596
00:31:24,500 --> 00:31:25,800
there.
But you can't do anything

597
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:27,800
because they're omnipresent
currently.

598
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:34,700
But that scene I just I don't It
did stuff to me that I, I almost

599
00:31:34,700 --> 00:31:37,400
could not watch that movie
because of that, I just like,

600
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:42,400
really was like, no, no, no, no.
But I did like the fact that

601
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:45,600
like he tried to record them
from his, like, razor flip phone

602
00:31:46,100 --> 00:31:50,200
and couldn't really do it, but
kind of did but his character,

603
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:54,700
specifically, almost every time.
You think the characters going

604
00:31:54,700 --> 00:31:59,200
to do the thing, they normally
do in horror movies, he says,

605
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:00,800
nope.
He's like, nope, I'm not gonna

606
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:01,600
know.
Mmm.

607
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:03,800
Nope.
If there's one thing that we can

608
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:08,200
learn from o.j.
It's that to always look before

609
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,100
you leap.
Oh my God, right?

610
00:32:10,100 --> 00:32:12,900
And I feel like that's, that's
what we need more of, right?

611
00:32:12,900 --> 00:32:16,100
I mean, that was the downfall of
antler and this, he just he just

612
00:32:16,100 --> 00:32:19,100
left and so far and the same
thing with Jupe.

613
00:32:19,100 --> 00:32:20,700
He left, he didn't think about
it.

614
00:32:20,700 --> 00:32:22,500
He played with something you
didn't know about.

615
00:32:22,500 --> 00:32:24,600
He's an idiot.
Whereas, o.j. was willing to

616
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:28,100
stop to take the time to think
about things and figure it out.

617
00:32:28,100 --> 00:32:29,500
Yeah.
And that's how you survive.

618
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:33,600
Yeah, the scene where After
jean, jackets sucks up the

619
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:38,800
entire audience and Jupe and all
of them and then jean jacket

620
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:45,700
decides to go over the Haywood
residents and just shit all over

621
00:32:45,700 --> 00:32:48,900
it or just Amit bombing all the
blood and everything.

622
00:32:49,300 --> 00:32:52,900
I had no idea what was
happening, but it was cool as

623
00:32:52,900 --> 00:32:55,000
hell.
What was happening?

624
00:32:55,500 --> 00:32:59,300
They was so cool, but it was
like there's, there's a lot of

625
00:32:59,308 --> 00:33:00,500
stuff falling.
Yeah.

626
00:33:00,500 --> 00:33:05,100
And they, They really were
accepting of that.

627
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,300
Whereas, I mean, I think that
they had a bit of a freak out

628
00:33:08,300 --> 00:33:11,100
but I would have been screaming
curled into a ball someplace.

629
00:33:11,100 --> 00:33:13,100
Well, Angel was definitely
freaking out more.

630
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:16,300
Yeah, than M was in that house.
Yeah, that's true.

631
00:33:16,300 --> 00:33:18,300
He was like, underneath the
table with a knife.

632
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:22,700
Yeah, I just love that scene of
o.j. in the car because it's not

633
00:33:22,700 --> 00:33:28,500
moving and he tries to look up
to see if jean jacket is above

634
00:33:28,500 --> 00:33:32,600
him.
And man, it's just So, so cool.

635
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:35,300
They added the fog, they added
that like, what is happening?

636
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:37,600
And that's when the Predator
really turned.

637
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:39,300
It was like, okay, I'm pissed
off now.

638
00:33:39,300 --> 00:33:42,900
I'm just gonna want to fuck you
guys up and there's Mom, I'm not

639
00:33:42,900 --> 00:33:44,400
just hunting.
Now, I just want to fuck you

640
00:33:44,408 --> 00:33:45,900
guys.
I'm trying to enjoy a nice

641
00:33:45,900 --> 00:33:49,000
dinner and you guys are just
messing it up for me.

642
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,500
My fault.
You all just gave me it like

643
00:33:51,500 --> 00:33:54,300
easily.
You were sitting in a bowl for

644
00:33:54,300 --> 00:33:56,800
me and I ate you.
That's it.

645
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:00,200
Oh man, II just I really liked
this movie.

646
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,600
I think.
It I didn't know what I expected

647
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:07,600
going in because I think now
we've gotten three movies from

648
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:12,400
Jordan Peele, in this particular
genre and where we don't know

649
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:14,900
what to expect, what is it going
to be?

650
00:34:15,500 --> 00:34:18,300
And it made me excited for
whatever he's going to come out

651
00:34:18,300 --> 00:34:21,100
with next.
I want to see, I don't know.

652
00:34:21,100 --> 00:34:25,199
I'm trying to think of like what
type of horror would be cool for

653
00:34:25,199 --> 00:34:28,699
him to do next.
Some sort of ghost, haunted

654
00:34:28,699 --> 00:34:30,500
house thing.
I feel like I feel like, like

655
00:34:30,500 --> 00:34:32,800
Poltergeist, The Possession
e-types.

656
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,800
Yeah, yeah.
I think that's what I would like

657
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:37,900
to see next.
We got aliens, we got

658
00:34:38,300 --> 00:34:41,500
doppelgangers.
We got racists.

659
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:45,199
I mean, that is the scariest
internalized, trauma and stuff.

660
00:34:45,199 --> 00:34:48,900
Yeah, but I've been yeah, I want
to see what that that's like.

661
00:34:48,900 --> 00:34:54,199
Yeah, I also enjoyed this.
I think that it did its job and

662
00:34:54,199 --> 00:34:56,699
left me thinking.
It left me feeling uneasy

663
00:34:56,900 --> 00:34:59,100
personally, I do wish there was
a little more character

664
00:34:59,100 --> 00:35:00,900
development.
I wish we learned a little bit

665
00:35:00,900 --> 00:35:04,300
more.
About the family but I thought

666
00:35:04,300 --> 00:35:10,100
the structure of it as well.
I really liked in my mind ghost

667
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:13,100
and clover got away.
They just ran into the hills, I

668
00:35:13,107 --> 00:35:16,700
don't think that jean jacket 87.
That's what I'm telling myself

669
00:35:17,700 --> 00:35:20,700
and I'm just gonna let that be
yeah.

670
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:24,300
What I believe?
Yeah I think there was some

671
00:35:24,300 --> 00:35:26,600
really masterful work.
He's really flexing, his

672
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,900
creativity muscles here and
going all out I think he's like

673
00:35:29,900 --> 00:35:32,800
cemented himself.
I've been in this genre and now

674
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:36,400
he's free to just kind of go
with it.

675
00:35:36,500 --> 00:35:38,800
I did think that it was
interesting in the beginning.

676
00:35:39,900 --> 00:35:43,500
The Bible verse or the verse
that came up, that really just

677
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,100
literally told you what the
movie is about.

678
00:35:46,100 --> 00:35:50,000
It says, I will cast a Bombadil
filth upon you make you vile and

679
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:53,600
make you a spectacle.
That's that's what it is.

680
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:57,800
I mean like it's just the theme
of spectacle and like what you

681
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:01,700
do with that and how you exploit
that or how you don't exploit

682
00:36:01,700 --> 00:36:06,000
that, that's what the movie is.
I mean it's a lot more goes into

683
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:11,600
it but yeah and I think the the
The final sort of thought on it

684
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:15,500
is nope.
No, no.

685
00:36:15,500 --> 00:36:17,300
Don't do it.
No, nope.

686
00:36:17,500 --> 00:36:19,400
So good.
Amazing cast, amazing.

687
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,200
I mean, let us know what you
thought of this movie, because

688
00:36:22,500 --> 00:36:26,000
there's a lot, there's a lot
that happened in this movie, but

689
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:30,200
I'm sure we missed some themes.
Like, you know, let's not let us

690
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:31,400
know, right?
I'd love.

691
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:33,400
I really want to know what other
people think, you know?

692
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,600
It's I'm coming at it from my
experience.

693
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:37,200
So I'm so curious.
What others?

694
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:38,700
What others thought after
watching it.

695
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:40,400
Yeah.
Like this is one of his

696
00:36:40,500 --> 00:36:42,800
interesting enough.
I did look at, you know, what

697
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,600
the ratings were for this.
It wasn't as high as the other

698
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:50,200
ones but I feel like a lot of
people loved it.

699
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:53,700
But, you know, I think there's
that disconnect again, but so

700
00:36:53,700 --> 00:36:56,600
many people are talking about it
and still talk about it to this

701
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:59,500
day and hold it so high.
I mean, I think that it's not

702
00:36:59,500 --> 00:37:02,200
bad it anyway.
No no, no, it's just compared to

703
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:05,700
the other two and it felt like
maybe not as strong.

704
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:08,700
There are people that do don't
think to put this in a horror

705
00:37:08,700 --> 00:37:11,700
counter Cory which I do think is
more sci-fi, you think,

706
00:37:11,700 --> 00:37:13,200
interesting?
I think it's horror.

707
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:17,500
I mean I think the base of it is
horror mmm, but with horror

708
00:37:17,500 --> 00:37:20,000
there's different subgenres that
you can go to.

709
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:23,300
So I feel like there's so many
genres mixed in this one that

710
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:26,100
it's interesting to see where
people are placed.

711
00:37:26,100 --> 00:37:27,100
Yeah.
Well, in that right, if you

712
00:37:27,100 --> 00:37:30,700
think of like alien it's or it's
hot.

713
00:37:30,700 --> 00:37:33,500
It's site it takes place in
space, but it's scary as heck.

714
00:37:33,500 --> 00:37:35,800
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, those aliens.

715
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,000
I could handle.
It's just the little green men

716
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:39,800
looking one, my body.
Shuts down.

717
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:43,800
Noah said, I will gladly take an
alien that has a mouth coming

718
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:46,100
out of its mouth and has acid
for blood.

719
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,500
That will also put a baby in
your chest.

720
00:37:48,500 --> 00:37:50,000
Yeah, it's fine.
Do it.

721
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:50,900
I'll do it.
Yeah.

722
00:37:50,900 --> 00:37:52,900
And also like the thing.
Yeah, sure.

723
00:37:52,900 --> 00:37:57,500
Do a mimic, you know,
shape-shifting weird body horror

724
00:37:57,500 --> 00:37:59,400
thing?
I could handle that but as soon

725
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:03,100
as they look like stupid little
green men with those eyes, I

726
00:38:03,100 --> 00:38:06,200
catch your Crux to this day.
Think, I've said it before I

727
00:38:06,207 --> 00:38:09,000
haven't seen, ET never will.
Well, that's fine.

728
00:38:09,100 --> 00:38:11,200
Fine.
Okay good.

729
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:14,400
I'm glad you think that Steven
Spielberg does nothing but

730
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:17,200
nobody else come for me.
I think it's all right.

731
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:18,800
But yeah, let us know what you
think.

732
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:24,100
Look out for the next round of
movies that you want us to cover

733
00:38:24,700 --> 00:38:26,600
is a, we might have some
interesting ones on their

734
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:28,000
bullet.
Train might be on there, but

735
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,900
which I will definitely be on
this and they'll say no.

736
00:38:30,900 --> 00:38:33,800
Again, we're never gonna get to
it, which is fine.

737
00:38:34,900 --> 00:38:36,400
Alright, bye bye.
