The patriarchy Zephyn bast start changing with the 0:00:14.280 --> 0:00:16.000 Bechdel Cast. 0:00:16.200 --> 0:00:17.680 Hello Bechdel Cast. 0:00:17.720 --> 0:00:22.760 A listener, whoa we wi we woo, we are here. 0:00:23.000 --> 0:00:28.440 This is uh Jamie and Caitlin, sorry and panicked. 0:00:29.760 --> 0:00:33.879 It's okay, It's okay, and we are here unlocking an 0:00:33.920 --> 0:00:38.599 episode of our Patreon aka Matreon, and we should say 0:00:38.680 --> 0:00:45.120 Matreon formerly known as Patreon, quite frankly for your listening 0:00:45.200 --> 0:00:50.000 pleasure this week to observe the release of Ready or 0:00:50.040 --> 0:00:52.880 Not too, a movie that neither of us have seen 0:00:53.280 --> 0:00:57.760 and neither of us can vouch for or argue against. True, 0:00:57.800 --> 0:01:00.319 but we know that tomorrow Weaving is in it. And 0:01:00.600 --> 0:01:05.160 I do like the internal logic of you thought she 0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:09.440 was ready or not? What if two? I like there 0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:13.679 like one woman? What about two? And honestly it's very 0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:17.480 base logic, But I'm listening what if two women? Many 0:01:17.520 --> 0:01:19.360 movies are not asking this question. 0:01:20.160 --> 0:01:22.040 Yeah, ready or not? Two women? 0:01:22.400 --> 0:01:24.960 Ready or not? Here's two women? I think that's maybe 0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:27.800 supposed to be the horror element Ready or Not two 0:01:27.840 --> 0:01:31.840 women in the movie. Wow yeah, so yeah, really impressive. 0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:33.959 I mean and honestly, in the in the wave of 0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:37.400 feminist backlash we're in right now, some people do need 0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:40.000 the warning that there's going to be two women. Yeah, 0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:44.360 hope you're ready for two women and don't blond white women. 0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:50.280 So yes, yes, but but yeah, we're unlocking our episode 0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:53.600 on Ready or Not one to observe Ready or Not 0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:56.080 two a movie. By the way, I will be seeing it. 0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:58.760 I'm actually pretty excited. Same. I hope it's good. I 0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:01.280 love samaraw Weaving. I feel like she's very underrated. 0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:05.200 Yeah she's she's good. I hope the movie's fun. 0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:09.560 Or if I'm correct, Samara Waving she's Australian, right. 0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:12.000 She is Australian. Yes, famously. 0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:16.480 That was definitely respectful what I just did, Samara Waving, 0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:23.520 she would love that I did that. Tony, all kinds 0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:27.840 of women are from there. Jacob BELORDI shakeup BELORDI, he's 0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:30.000 for the girls. I think I don't know who. Well, 0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:32.359 I just I just said that I have no idea 0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:35.840 he's worked with a woman that we know he's met 0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:36.360 a woman. 0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:39.920 Sure has he's met at least one woman and that 0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:41.519 makes him a feminist. 0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:46.120 Anyway, really, cast, by the way, it so is, Hope 0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:49.560 this is your first episode. I think we say this 0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:52.280 at the beginning of every episode at this point, Hope 0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:58.400 this isn't your first episode, but statistically it may very well. Maybe. Yeah, listen, 0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:03.200 this is the Bechdel Test. Nope, cast, Nope, this is 0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:07.040 the Bechtel Cast. If this is your first episode, welcome 0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:11.600 Tomorrow Weaving, And this is our podcast where we take 0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:14.840 a look at your favorite movies using an intersectional feminist lens, 0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:18.920 using the Bechdel Test as a jumping off point for discussion. 0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:21.760 And we do not define the parameters of the Bechdel 0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:26.080 Test in our Matreon episodes. So, Caitlin, what the hell 0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:26.960 is it? 0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:29.960 It is a media metric created by friend of the 0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:34.360 pod Alison Bechdel, first appearing in her comic collection Dicks 0:03:34.360 --> 0:03:38.240 to Watch out For in the eighties, and its origins, 0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:42.040 we're more focused on, Hey, are there any queer women 0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:43.960 in this movie that I'm watching? 0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:47.960 And if there are queer women, are they actual characters? 0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:52.640 In any case, the test has become more kind of 0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:58.160 mainstreamified into a media metric that has many versions the 0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:01.200 one that we use is do two characters of a 0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:04.840 marginalized gender have names? Do they speak to each other? 0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:08.000 And is that conversation about something other than a man? 0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:15.720 And ideally it's narratively meaningful and not just nothing dialogue. 0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:18.599 Right, which is why we modified our version of the test. 0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:21.120 And again that's not a criticism of our dear friend 0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:24.120 Alison Bechdell. She wrote it as a joke, but for 0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:29.080 our purposes, that's to avoid I think people who are 0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:31.560 defensive of their favorite movies and wanted to pass the 0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:33.560 Backdel test, and they're like, well, there was a waitress 0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:38.440 and Meryl Streep said I'll have the chicken or whatever, 0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:42.680 so that I would watch that movie honestly, and then 0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:45.920 if they make out it does pass the Bechdel test, it. 0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:47.640 Really really passes the Bechdel test. 0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:50.440 Yeah, I hope that happens in the devil War's product too. 0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:51.320 What if that. 0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:55.479 Happens devil Ware's Product two? Here, I come, What if 0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:57.880 the subtitle to every sequel was here? I come? 0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:01.960 If I think if the Devilwaar's Product two is bad, 0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:07.000 there's going to be some sort of revolt. I mean 0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:10.040 there should there should be. There's so many reasons for 0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:13.280 there to be a revolt. But I do think that 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:17.400 if the Devil is product too is bad, people are 0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:21.120 gonna be marching outside Stanley Tucci's house. Like I just, 0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:24.040 you know, not that he should be held accountable for it, 0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:27.320 but he will be, and you know, I just I 0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:32.120 really hope it's good. Anyways. Yeah, so we are today 0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:38.040 unlocking an episode from our Matreon from only two years ago. 0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:41.200 We don't do this very frequently because the Matreon is 0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:44.359 a sacred space. So if you're not a subscriber but 0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:46.840 a listener of the show, or you're just getting into 0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:50.159 the show and you want more episodes, our Matreon is 0:05:50.320 --> 0:05:54.039 a slightly looser version of our main fiat episodes. We 0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:57.159 don't generally have guests on there. It's Caitlin and I 0:05:57.240 --> 0:06:03.000 either choosing or very often having our subscribers choose a 0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:07.120 specific theme, and by a specific you have no idea 0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:10.560 how specific it can get. This was a theme from 0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:16.080 twenty twenty four called Wedding Webruary, in which our Matreon 0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:19.120 subscribers voted they wanted to hear us talk about ready 0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:22.560 or not and of course Madam Web which we. 0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:25.159 No, no, no, no, sorry, wait Madam Web was just 0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:28.360 coming out around the same time, so we did talk 0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:31.920 of it, we did cover it later on, but Wedding 0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:35.600 Webruary was Ready or Not and I think twenty seven dresses. 0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:39.680 Oh my gosh, what theme did Madam Web fall under? 0:06:40.240 --> 0:06:44.360 That was action movies directed by women, which does not 0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:46.839 have a Webruary. 0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:50.760 Okay, egg on my fucking face, we're thinking we but 0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:53.880 that's how nonsensical the themes are. Madam Web was not 0:06:53.920 --> 0:07:01.320 featured in Wedding Webruary. It's explain it. But this is 0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:04.159 an episode from there. If you enjoy it, if you 0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:07.839 enjoy the slightly looser structure, head over to the Matreon. 0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:10.120 It's five dollars a month and it gets you access 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:14.960 to not just participate in our wonderful community over there 0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:17.760 that we've cultivated over the years, it also gets you 0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:22.280 access to over two hundred bonus episodes, including the Madam 0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:25.600 Web episode. So I know we had to pay all 0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:28.080 the Madam Web episode. We've got to pay our bills. 0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:31.160 So true. Yes, So it's the best way to support 0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:33.560 the show. So we'd love to have you over there. 0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:38.520 But in the meantime, you can enjoy this unlocked episode 0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:43.680 on Ready or Not one oh, there's only one woman. 0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:46.080 In this one. Yeah, and the world wasn't ready. 0:07:46.240 --> 0:07:48.360 The world was not ready. It was only it was 0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:52.560 twenty nineteen, so we only could have one woman at 0:07:52.600 --> 0:07:57.360 that time. But yes, in the meantime, enjoy this unlocked 0:07:57.640 --> 0:07:59.880 episode the Bechdel Cast. 0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:10.840 Duddu do dude record scratch, Wait a second, something's not 0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:17.880 quite right at this wedding. It's Satan's Satan's at the wedding. 0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:22.080 Well, Satan should attend more weddings. 0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:25.520 Honestly, I prefer Satan showing up to a wedding than 0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:28.040 you know, God, if you believe in that, if you 0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:32.000 believe in either of those things. Given the binary like, yeah, 0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:34.080 let's go to Satan's wedding. 0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:40.200 You've heard of holy matrimony, Well what about unholy matrimony? 0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:41.760 And that's when the devil is there. 0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:44.079 And that's when the devil is there in his little chair. 0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:46.240 Oh my god. I love at the end of this 0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:49.280 movie when the devil shows up in his little chair, 0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:53.000 he's like hey, he is like, good job, giry, this 0:08:53.080 --> 0:08:56.040 is such a like this I am okay, we're covering, 0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:59.680 ready or not? It's wedding Webruary. Yes, yeah, you know this. 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:04.040 I am adding this to the pantheon of a genre 0:09:04.160 --> 0:09:08.800 I like to call good for her cinema. Yes, we've 0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:12.920 seen We've seen good for her cinema many times over 0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:15.480 the years. I'm generally a fan of it. Sometimes it 0:09:15.559 --> 0:09:19.360 is like, what does this man think women are like? 0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:21.920 This isn't necessarily one of those movies. But sometimes you're 0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:25.920 just like, interesting, you know, gymnastics routine going on in 0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:29.360 this in this writer's mind, not this one that I 0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:31.280 don't know. Good for her cinema, I mean. And then 0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:34.959 there's also like, see there's well, what would you. 0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:39.320 Put on the letterbox list of oh boy, good for 0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:40.079 her cinema? 0:09:40.520 --> 0:09:44.240 I need your help because I think that the thing 0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:48.479 that for sure it is in good for her cinema 0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:52.880 if at the end of the movie it's most often 0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:55.560 written by men, I would say. And at the end 0:09:55.559 --> 0:10:00.160 of the movie, the conventionally beautiful protagonist smokes a cigarette 0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:03.800 that has survived the ordeal along with her to sort 0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:06.520 of be like, Wow, what a day. I'm talking the 0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:10.040 end of Heathers I believe has a good for her cigarette. 0:10:10.559 --> 0:10:13.520 This movie has a good for her cigarette. The menu 0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:15.960 from last year, as I recall a good for her 0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:19.960 cigarette and cheeseburger, which is another not like other girls 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:24.080 skinny girl eating cheeseburger. Come on, like, this is just 0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:27.360 I'm trying to think of other times that a woman 0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:29.400 smoked a cigarette at the end of the movie because 0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:32.600 she's one poor things. I don't think Emma Stone smokes 0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:34.120 a cigarette at the end of that movie, but like, 0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:35.880 spiritually that's what's going on. 0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:38.640 Right, I mean the cigarette might just be an extra 0:10:38.840 --> 0:10:42.560 little flourish because I would put Knives Out on that list. 0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:46.000 Yes, the coffee is the cigarette. The coffee is the cigarette. Yeah, 0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:47.840 I was thinking that as well. This movie, I mean 0:10:48.000 --> 0:10:49.480 has it and it came out the same year as 0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:53.280 Knives Out, which is right interesting anyways, Yes, I would 0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:55.200 add this to the pantheon of good for her cinema. 0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:58.760 Sometimes I like it, Sometimes I don't sure, because sometimes 0:10:58.760 --> 0:11:02.920 you're just like but ready or not. Whether you like 0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:06.440 it or not is certainly, you know, good for her 0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:10.360 cinema big time. And it's also a very recent strain 0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:13.760 of I think a recent early and dare I say 0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:17.679 good strain of rich people bad cinema, which we've been 0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:20.720 seeing a whole lot of in the last half decade. Yes, again, 0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:23.280 some of it is good. Some of it is clearly 0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:25.560 written by rich people, and you're like, what is the 0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:29.120 point of this? What is this? But again, I think 0:11:29.160 --> 0:11:33.920 this movie kind of stands out. I don't know, Caitlyn, Yeah, Hi, 0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:36.720 sorry for just bat. I just have been thinking about 0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:39.280 the good for her genre. No, no, I wonder if 0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:41.200 there is a letterbox list with that already. 0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:44.760 If not, let's throw it on ours. And then also 0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:49.400 you can follow us on letterboxed at Bechdel Cast Matrons. 0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:51.760 You know what else falls into good? You're right, the 0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:54.000 cigarette isn't a must, but there has to be like 0:11:54.400 --> 0:11:59.199 some sort of item, a little prop yes, fried green tomatoes. 0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:02.280 The end is a good for her. It's hannibalism good 0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:06.720 for her. Oh yeah, they cook and serve the bad guy. 0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:13.000 Good for her. Jennifer's body. I think what would fall into. 0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:15.880 I'm also forgetting how a lot of these movies end. 0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:19.880 The Vivich good for her. 0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:22.760 I mean, she's floating up in this good for her. 0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:28.280 Hover. This is a genre. It is a genre in 0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:31.840 like every genre, there's goods stay as bads. 0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:34.240 Anyway, let's talk about ready or. 0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:39.720 Not shell Yes, please, after you, after you, after you. 0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:42.800 I saw this movie in theaters. 0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:43.760 Brave. 0:12:44.120 --> 0:12:46.520 It's so brave of me to do. I enjoyed it 0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:52.040 quite a bit. I love a movie that takes place 0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:54.760 in a big creepy house. That's where a lot of 0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:57.240 Who Done It take place, That's where a lot of 0:12:57.600 --> 0:13:00.360 spooky movies take place. I just love the production design 0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:04.040 of like a big creepy house and all of the 0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:07.480 you know, like board game boxes that you see and 0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:09.760 stuff like that. So I really liked the production design. 0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:14.840 I like the story, and I like any movie where 0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:18.720 rich people get fucked over. So I was a fan. 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:22.240 I didn't see this, and I have it's weird. I 0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:25.160 saw this movie. I remember really clearly watching this movie. 0:13:25.240 --> 0:13:28.040 I wonder if you have an experience like this for 0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:31.480 a different movie. I watched this movie in the first 0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:35.840 two weeks of Lockdown, where it was still like this 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:39.240 is wild, what's going on? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, And 0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:42.000 so all I had to say, I remember watching it, 0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:44.520 I remember liking it, and then I memory holed the 0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:46.920 entire thing along with you know, I think with many 0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:50.959 like with several months of my life. You know. So 0:13:51.080 --> 0:13:54.520 I watched it, I liked it. I got kind of 0:13:54.559 --> 0:13:56.800 burned out on this genre, and I feel like it 0:13:56.920 --> 0:14:00.400 kind of got a little far away from itself in 0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:03.360 some situation. I felt that way about The Menu if 0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:06.679 I'm being on it, where it's like I love an 0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:11.240 ensemble movie where we're taking out the rich people and 0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:14.760 there's distinct characters, they're broad stereotypes and we're just knocking 0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:16.640 them out, like I love. And this year is a 0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:19.800 great year for kill the Rich cinema because we also 0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:23.120 have Knives out comes out this year, This comes out, 0:14:23.440 --> 0:14:25.200 and it kept going for a couple of years after 0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:27.520 that because like last year it was like The Menu 0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:29.720 and Triangle of Sadness. I mean, there's like a lot 0:14:29.760 --> 0:14:32.600 of movies of this ilk that have come out in 0:14:32.640 --> 0:14:34.560 the last five years, but this is one of my 0:14:34.680 --> 0:14:38.400 faves I really because I feel like this movie is 0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:42.800 I don't know, with anti capitalist movies, I feel like 0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:45.440 it's like either you have to really go for saying 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:49.880 something or it's fun. And because whenever it lands in 0:14:49.920 --> 0:14:52.560 the middle, it feels like, I don't know, a little 0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:56.120 dissonant or like not committing to one or the other. 0:14:56.280 --> 0:15:00.960 This movie is committing to fun and like the characters 0:15:01.000 --> 0:15:04.520 are incredibly broad. The way that they got their money 0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:08.960 is incredibly silly, and I just like, I because I 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:12.400 really couldn't remember how the movie ended spoiler alert for 0:15:12.440 --> 0:15:15.320 those who haven't watched. But I was like, I feel 0:15:15.360 --> 0:15:17.640 like the curse is real. I would be so happy 0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:20.960 if the curse is actually real and the curse is 0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:25.200 actually real and everyone explodes, and it just like it's silly. 0:15:25.520 --> 0:15:29.000 It like it's clear that like it's a killer rich movie, 0:15:29.120 --> 0:15:32.640 but it's not getting into theory. It's just like, here 0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:35.480 are these rich people and at the end, they're all 0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:38.360 going to explode into a cloud of blood. And that 0:15:38.560 --> 0:15:42.920 is like such a good movie for me. That movie's 0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:46.680 always gonna hit for me. It's very cathartic, it's so fun. 0:15:46.960 --> 0:15:48.880 I honestly, I was like, I don't know, I have 0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:51.320 to rewatch Knives Out because I really really loved that 0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:52.800 movie when it came up. But I'm like, but did 0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:55.840 any did a single person explode into a cloud of blood? 0:15:56.200 --> 0:15:56.720 Not one? 0:15:56.920 --> 0:15:58.640 I'm not af I recall, I'm. 0:15:58.480 --> 0:16:02.040 Not at all a right. Should I get into the recap? 0:16:02.400 --> 0:16:13.720 Yeah, let's talk about it all right. 0:16:13.920 --> 0:16:18.600 We open on a flashback. We're in a big mansion 0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:22.720 on a dark and stormy night, and a family is 0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:26.840 playing hide and seek. It seems we see two little 0:16:26.920 --> 0:16:30.600 boys running around. One is named Daniel and then his 0:16:30.800 --> 0:16:32.800 younger brother who I don't think we learn. 0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:33.960 His name, not yet. 0:16:34.200 --> 0:16:40.320 They're running around and Daniel finds the man who's being 0:16:40.920 --> 0:16:44.240 sought in this game of hide and seek, or rather 0:16:44.600 --> 0:16:48.240 the man who's being hunted, because this isn't just any 0:16:48.320 --> 0:16:52.600 game of hide and seek. It's a scary game. 0:16:54.440 --> 0:16:57.840 It's yeah, fun, fun, fun fun. Yeah, it's well it's 0:16:57.840 --> 0:16:59.720 baby Alex that he's shoving into the cupboard. 0:16:59.760 --> 0:17:02.040 Yeah, y yeah, yeah yeah yeah, Well we'll figure that 0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:06.560 out eventually. But Daniel gives up the man's location and 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:08.800 the family comes in. They like shoot him with a 0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:13.439 crossbow and then drag him away as the man's his wife, 0:17:13.960 --> 0:17:18.200 still wearing her wedding dress, watches in horror. 0:17:18.960 --> 0:17:22.119 They have they must have like friends in the c 0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:26.560 I A or something like how are these I mean, 0:17:26.600 --> 0:17:29.040 I know that, like probably the internal logic of the 0:17:29.080 --> 0:17:30.760 Vivie is like they're rich, rich people can get away 0:17:30.760 --> 0:17:35.240 with anything. They're like, I don't know, folks, ritualistic murder. 0:17:35.280 --> 0:17:36.680 And then we find out that they kind of live 0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:41.440 on a residential street. Uh fun short of I mean 0:17:41.880 --> 0:17:45.280 it seems like the ground driving. Yeah, but the grounds 0:17:45.280 --> 0:17:47.359 of the estate seem really big and she had to 0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:50.600 run very far to get to the street. I don't know, 0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:53.880 I truly think, and hopefully the listeners will not hold 0:17:53.880 --> 0:17:56.560 this against me. My favorite, the biggest like jump scare 0:17:56.600 --> 0:17:59.840 for this movie is when Samorrow Weaving punches a child 0:17:59.840 --> 0:18:03.040 in the face. Oh my god, I like and not 0:18:03.160 --> 0:18:05.760 to but like, I mean, she kind of did what 0:18:05.800 --> 0:18:08.080 she had to do. That kid was about to kill her, 0:18:08.400 --> 0:18:11.800 but I just was like, not expecting a child to 0:18:11.840 --> 0:18:15.000 get punched in the face. Anyways, let's continue. 0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:18.560 Yes, so we cut to thirty years later. It's the 0:18:18.600 --> 0:18:23.479 wedding day of Grace played by Samara Weaving aka Hugo 0:18:23.520 --> 0:18:28.320 Weaving's niece aka Nepotism and I love Spa. 0:18:28.119 --> 0:18:31.480 Weaving but aka Barga Robbie was not available. Let's be serious. 0:18:33.160 --> 0:18:38.040 So it's her wedding and she's getting married to her fiance. 0:18:38.560 --> 0:18:43.320 My fiance, some guy, a guy named Alex played by 0:18:43.520 --> 0:18:48.280 Mark O'Brien. We meet Alex's brother, Daniel played by Adam 0:18:48.320 --> 0:18:50.480 Brodie and we're like, hey, isn't Daniel the name of 0:18:50.520 --> 0:18:51.680 the kid from the beginning? 0:18:51.960 --> 0:18:56.480 Hold on, ready, or not here he is I this 0:18:56.560 --> 0:19:00.280 is ugh, this is like one of the I think, what, well, well, 0:19:00.560 --> 0:19:03.240 he's less villainous in this, but he's in the villain family. 0:19:03.520 --> 0:19:09.160 He really has a robust career of playing tremendous assholes, 0:19:09.280 --> 0:19:11.199 which is wild because I fell in love with him 0:19:11.240 --> 0:19:14.840 on Gilmore Girls, where he was like nice guitar boyfriend. 0:19:15.640 --> 0:19:18.000 I did not watch the OC, but I think he's 0:19:18.080 --> 0:19:20.919 kind of heart throbby in that show. And then he 0:19:21.200 --> 0:19:26.119 just like once Jennifer's Body hit, He's like, I'm actually 0:19:26.600 --> 0:19:30.080 a little stinker. And we've seen him in roles like that. 0:19:30.119 --> 0:19:33.040 I mean, I literally I saw American Fiction last night.
