Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Peanut
Speaker 1: Trend and M's. We will be talking about Eminem's later
Speaker 1: America's favorite candy.
Speaker 2: Oh, I think California.
Speaker 1: Eminem's are California's favorite in this year's candy map.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the thing that was most frightening hot to Molly's
Speaker 3: was hot Rise. But again to the the analyzes there
Speaker 3: was suggesting that because they aren't as readily available in
Speaker 3: store just means it's feeling more online sales. That's so,
Speaker 3: don't worry. We're not losing not losing our ship over candy.
Speaker 2: Like I think it's fascism. I think it's fascism.
Speaker 1: Just people just need to feel something. Yeah, and it's
Speaker 1: their mouth subtly tingling.
Speaker 3: When's the last time you heard someone call another person
Speaker 3: a hot to Molly ernest brother?
Speaker 1: It was this morning. It was coming out of my
Speaker 1: own mouth. I was driving my kids to school. Yeah,
Speaker 1: now that that one's gone the.
Speaker 3: I haven't heard that in a while.
Speaker 1: Gone away. It really really shouldn't. He comes hot to
Speaker 1: BALI like, who are you talking about? All right, we're
Speaker 1: gonna do some social media misinformation up top. Yeah, in
Speaker 1: case it seems like things have gotten worse and less reliable.
Speaker 2: They have. Yeah, so all the way back.
Speaker 1: In twenty eighteen, five years ago, a study found that
Speaker 1: false news actually traveled faster than real news on Twitter
Speaker 1: by a substantial margin. Yeah, farther, faster, deeper, and more
Speaker 1: broadly than the truth in all categories of information.
Speaker 3: And it said, and in many cases by an order
Speaker 3: of magnitude based magnitude, Twitters smoke in the competition in
Speaker 3: terms of getting the bad info out.
Speaker 1: And now that platform, the one that they were talking
Speaker 1: about there as like this is a major problem. That
Speaker 1: platform has scrapped many of its pre existing guardrails. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and now like the big one being the verification system,
Speaker 1: which used to used to be a way to be like,
Speaker 1: this person has a blue check let me click on it.
Speaker 1: I es they are a reporter from the BBC, And
Speaker 1: now it is a way to be like, ah, yes,
Speaker 1: this person has racial slurs in their bio.
Speaker 3: Yes, this person has some kind of fashion NFT thing
Speaker 3: going okay.
Speaker 1: But yeah, so I mean taking the one verification, like
Speaker 1: the one sort of thing that was supposed to be
Speaker 1: unfakeable and obviously was not perfect, but taking that and
Speaker 1: making it a thing you could pay monthly for was
Speaker 1: really you know, I don't think unintentionally just dismantling the
Speaker 1: idea of this being any sort of reasonable source of information.
Speaker 1: Elon Musk, who has been flirting with openly embracing anti
Speaker 1: Semitism for years now, personally recommended at the beginning of
Speaker 1: this conflict, I recommended two accounts for following the war
Speaker 1: in real time, but they happen to be accounts with
Speaker 1: a history of spreading false information and in the case
Speaker 1: of one of them, posting anti Semitic statements.
Speaker 3: Oh perfect, Yeah, perfect, that's exactly what Elon Mulbitt wants
Speaker 3: to do. And also yeah, like, I mean, just he's
Speaker 3: found a way to make a little bit of money
Speaker 3: and also just set the disinformation dial to fucking fourteen
Speaker 3: by basically saying like, yeah, we'll use this thing you
Speaker 3: can pay for, and also the algorithm will favor you,
Speaker 3: so you have an even wider audience for whatever video
Speaker 3: game clip you want to post and say that it's
Speaker 3: actual wow war footage.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I mean one of the people he linked
Speaker 1: off to and his his post got eleven million views
Speaker 1: before he took it down. He argued with others over
Speaker 1: Israel and religion, posting a year ago that the overwhelming
Speaker 1: majority of people in the media and banks are Zionists
Speaker 1: and telling a correspondent in June to go worship a
Speaker 1: Jew little bro.
Speaker 3: So like that's so he is platform yeah, yeah, and
Speaker 3: again like I think the one thing that a lot
Speaker 3: of people warned everyone about is like, you know, people
Speaker 3: autocratic leaders would love nothing more than to have Twitter
Speaker 3: turned into a thing where it's like you can see
Speaker 3: anything anytime. It won't get checked or it'll take a
Speaker 3: like millions of people will see it before something's corrected,
Speaker 3: and now no one can really agree on what is
Speaker 3: happening over a given thing, which is very useful right
Speaker 3: now as Gaza is being leveled and just completely level
Speaker 3: and I like to be honest, like the talk of misinformation,
Speaker 3: it's it's like also like crowding out the discussion of like, well,
Speaker 3: what about these people who are now experiencing collective punishment
Speaker 3: from the Israeli government, which is a war crime that
Speaker 3: it's taking up Like there's so many, so much shit
Speaker 3: has come out of this that it's like there's like
Speaker 3: seventeen different conversations happening while yea, like for Americans, I
Speaker 3: think we really need to be grappling with the fact
Speaker 3: of like where are our tax dollars going right now?
Speaker 3: Because this is we're in another moment where misinformation has caused,
Speaker 3: like you know, pre first Iraq War and Second Iraq War,
Speaker 3: like this thirst for vengeance and blood that we're seeing
Speaker 3: awful shit happen in real time, and like there's barely
Speaker 3: any commentary on that, which I think is really the
Speaker 3: most is super fucked up now because beyond the tragedy
Speaker 3: that happened from Saturday's attack, now we're moving on to
Speaker 3: the destruction of Gaza and it's like sort of an
Speaker 3: afterthought while we keep switching focus on things in the
Speaker 3: mainstream media.
Speaker 1: Yeah, obviously Facebook has a history of allowing this information
Speaker 1: to thrive. One EU regulator told Mark Zuckerberg and Elon
Speaker 1: Musk in a letter that he has to fix the
Speaker 1: problem immediately, and he gave them twenty four hours.
Speaker 2: To do so.
Speaker 1: Like giving off police chief in an eighties action movie, vibes.
Speaker 3: Right from like I need that on my desk yesterday.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's just the entire premise of these platforms, like they
Speaker 1: are too big to fact check reasonably at the in
Speaker 1: the economic model that in which they were built, if
Speaker 1: they were viewed as the public resources that they are
Speaker 1: and you know, staffed and funded by taxpayer dollars, so
Speaker 1: that there was you know, things that took advantage of
Speaker 1: like our current level of technology, that were accurately staffed
Speaker 1: and like fully staffed to be like responsible, that would
Speaker 1: be one thing, But these are incapable, like fully incapable
Speaker 1: as long as they are you know, profit driven institutions.
Speaker 2: Totally.
Speaker 3: I feel like there are more people monitoring password sharing
Speaker 3: on streaming sites, and there probably are misinformation on social
Speaker 3: media because again that that endeavor actually helps create money,
Speaker 3: whereas this one, it's like, well, I mean, yeah, it's
Speaker 3: I guess it's like it's better for the common good
Speaker 3: to check this kind of stuff, but ultimately not a
Speaker 3: priority for X formally known as X.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's the SIFT method that some people are passing
Speaker 1: around is developed by digital literacy expert Mike Callfield and
Speaker 1: serves as a good baseline method for how to navigate
Speaker 1: social media in the middle of an unfolding crisis, and
Speaker 1: just it's not supposed to be like this replaces fact checking,
Speaker 1: but it's like for you to just be like, Okay,
Speaker 1: so you know, but here's the thing for me to
Speaker 1: like just a mental checklist to run through. And the
Speaker 1: goal here isn't like again full fact check. It's just
Speaker 1: to make sure you're not just doing is it sharing
Speaker 1: something two seconds after you fucking see it right exactly?
Speaker 1: SIFT stands for stop yourself from immediately sharing something without
Speaker 1: fully considering. Investigate the source, check out that account sharing
Speaker 1: the info right, find better coverage. See if this info
Speaker 1: is also being shared entrusted news sources. Trace the source,
Speaker 1: see where the information can be traced back to, whether
Speaker 1: that's a quote or a photo or a video. You know,
Speaker 1: a lot of the videos that are being shared are
Speaker 1: from you know, months ago, years ago, Are you know,
Speaker 1: just being taken out of context to make things seem
Speaker 1: more sensational?
Speaker 2: And also callfield is.
Speaker 1: Just like and look, you might not be the person
Speaker 1: to share information on this, You're you might not be
Speaker 1: the person to know what the fuck is going on? Like,
Speaker 1: can you personally translate the language being spoken? Are you
Speaker 1: equipped to research and analyze videos and photos from sources
Speaker 1: you've never encountered before? If you haven't encountered them before,
Speaker 1: don't just be like, well, seems seems good because this
Speaker 1: other person I trust, uh shared it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, it's it's but again, like this is
Speaker 3: kind of like our problem with just you know, not
Speaker 3: just social media, but now journalists, especially in America. We've
Speaker 3: talked about this too, Like how like when we talk
Speaker 3: about other you know, like the New York Times or
Speaker 3: like CNN, we're like, why aren't they like able to
Speaker 3: talk about like what the fuck's actually happening in like
Speaker 3: any given fucking topic where it's like, yeah, why aren't
Speaker 3: they actually criticizing qualified immunity when we're talking about police
Speaker 3: violence and why do they only take quotes from the
Speaker 3: police to do something? Or why aren't we talking about
Speaker 3: what corporate landlords are doing to the housing crisis? We're
Speaker 3: only focusing on like a very narrow part of a crime.
Speaker 3: Like because again, the people that are able to continue
Speaker 3: that sort of lack of thinking or at least questioning
Speaker 3: the status quo, those are the people that end up
Speaker 3: in the jobs because they they're like, Okay, you know
Speaker 3: how to do this, Yeah, you're right, you know how
Speaker 3: to not rock the boat.
Speaker 2: And now when we.
Speaker 1: Get they're confident and they make it go down easy, right,
Speaker 1: you know exactly.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and now and now we're now we're at this
Speaker 3: point too with like like this like super contentious piece
Speaker 3: of reporting that's come out of the attack on Saturday,
Speaker 3: which is everyone has been talking about like how many
Speaker 3: babies were beheaded? Was it forty? Were they beheaded?
Speaker 2: Were this?
Speaker 3: I mean, like, look when the media gets like into
Speaker 3: like and this is justified vengeance, that's when it's becoming
Speaker 3: an issue. So like you talk like we've talked about
Speaker 3: this thing. Yesterday, Joe Biden said, like at the podium,
Speaker 3: this guy said, oh, I saw pictures. The actual quote is,
Speaker 3: I've been doing this a long time. I never really
Speaker 3: thought that I would see, how, you know, have confirmed
Speaker 3: pictures of terrorists beheading children?
Speaker 1: Right, And everyone makes it sound like that like that
Speaker 1: seems like okay, well, case closed. Obviously he got an
Speaker 1: intelligence briefing, right, right.
Speaker 3: And that's what he's saying in his capacity as president.
Speaker 3: Wait a second, he makes up stories about knowing a
Speaker 3: guy named corn Pop with a razor blade and like
Speaker 3: a rusty drum, and then the White House had to
Speaker 3: come back and clarify that he in fact did not
Speaker 3: see anything. He was just saying like what he heard
Speaker 3: from other unverified, unverified.
Speaker 1: News report that everybody else was quoting. Yeah, right, so
Speaker 1: it is unverified still just you know, some people were like,
Speaker 1: actually it has been verified, and no, no, it isn't.
Speaker 3: And I think people have gotten hung up that like
Speaker 3: potentially I'm bringing this up to say, like and that
Speaker 3: therefore negates everything. No, no, no, no no. What I'm talking
Speaker 3: about is the sensationalism in media to manufacture consent where
Speaker 3: we look the other way when like horrific shit is happening,
Speaker 3: and now there's there's a connection to me as a
Speaker 3: United States citizen where I'm like, well, this is our
Speaker 3: government is here funding this. Yeah, and that is an
Speaker 3: issue too. So we've talked about like how this has
Speaker 3: happened in countless conflicts of some kind of sensational piece
Speaker 3: of reporting that ends up getting coming out of it
Speaker 3: like in everyone's mind, and we blindly go into bloodier
Speaker 3: conflicts like the fucking last time we went on a
Speaker 3: fucking imperial mission into this region of the world off
Speaker 3: the back of WMD nonsense and things like that, and
Speaker 3: at the time, people were like, oh, yeah, like you
Speaker 3: gotta do it. After a little bit of distance, and
Speaker 3: people took a breath, They're like, yeah, that was so
Speaker 3: fucked up and wrong. And what I would what I
Speaker 3: would hate is that we would repeat something like that
Speaker 3: when you know, even more horrific violence is being unleashed
Speaker 3: on people, innocent people, and you have no way in Gaza,
Speaker 3: no way out. There's no power, there's no electricity. People
Speaker 3: are now like sending like I'm I think I'm just
Speaker 3: gonna We're probably gonna die here at this point. And
Speaker 3: I look on other I look on the like, you know,
Speaker 3: the the main front page of places like CBS News,
Speaker 3: and like their main thing isn't like, you know, people
Speaker 3: are pulling, you know, innocent bodies out of the rebel.
Speaker 3: It's US arranging flights to get Americans.
Speaker 2: Out of Israel.
Speaker 3: Right, Oh, well, there's also there's also Americans in Gaza. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and that's also not talked about it And so I
Speaker 3: think that's so for me, I'd rather take this time
Speaker 3: to talk about things that aren't being discussed enough because
Speaker 3: all the other atrocities, and that's what they are, atrocities
Speaker 3: are being reported on. But I'm not seeing from especially
Speaker 3: this the media in the United States, you know, faithfully
Speaker 3: reporting on the other horrific things that are happening, which
Speaker 3: are also of the public interest and people to know
Speaker 3: what is happening.
Speaker 2: And yeah, so again.
Speaker 3: The misinformation plays a huge part in that because it's
Speaker 3: NonStop and again check out like every most of these
Speaker 3: news sites like Reuters and stuff, they have fact checking
Speaker 3: sub sections that you can check out, which is really important.
Speaker 3: But anyway, along with all that, we just continue to see,
Speaker 3: you know, what everyone is calling, at lightly i think euphemistically,
Speaker 3: a humanitarian crisis happening and in a more you know,
Speaker 3: probably potent way of saying it is like you're potentially seeing,
Speaker 3: we're seeing the rhetoric of like mass death being bandied about,
Speaker 3: and you know that everything else is just kind of
Speaker 3: taking our attention other ways versus how things are covered
Speaker 3: on websites like you know, al Jazeero or at least
Speaker 3: even like the BBC, like there's at least a humanity
Speaker 3: attached to what has happened to people in The.
Speaker 1: Guardian has been good, BBC has been good. It's yeah,
Speaker 1: somebody proposed the thought experiment on social media, like in
Speaker 1: the aftermath of nine to eleven, like in retrospector do
Speaker 1: you feel like the problem was that people didn't emphasize
Speaker 1: the barbarity of al Qaeda enough, or that people didn't
Speaker 1: try and pump the brakes on the indiscriminate killing of
Speaker 1: people who are just the same color or from the
Speaker 1: same country as those people.
Speaker 3: You know, Yeah, because when you look back, completely destroyed
Speaker 3: a part of the earth and hundreds of thousands of
Speaker 3: lives were lost off the back of not being able
Speaker 3: to like have any kind of real analysis. But again,
Speaker 3: I don't. That's a much larger issue of how the
Speaker 3: United States operates and our larger place than global foreign policy.
Speaker 3: So anyway, and I do, it's a lot of I just.
Speaker 1: I think there's a way to stay committed to core
Speaker 1: values of you know, not supporting the killing of innocent people,
Speaker 1: like the importance of the truth, and also equality in
Speaker 1: terms of who gets talked about and when when innocent
Speaker 1: people are killed, Like are some of the innocent people
Speaker 1: being talked about and others are not? And right, So
Speaker 1: like why do we think that's the case?
Speaker 3: Right? And it's the same you know, Yeah, we have
Speaker 3: these kinds of disparities in our own domestic media coverage too,
Speaker 3: and you just see this like bad hat that play
Speaker 3: out on another scale.
Speaker 2: So yeah, there we are there.
Speaker 1: We are all right, let's take a quick break. We'll
Speaker 1: come back with some actual good news. We'll be right back.
Speaker 1: And we're back. And a new study was just released
Speaker 1: documenting how a pioneering bionic hand has improved a woman's life.
Speaker 1: She lost her arm in a farming accident and continued
Speaker 1: to suffer from chronic pain.
Speaker 2: Like there's a wild thing that happens to people who
Speaker 2: like lose a limb.
Speaker 3: Oh, like phantom limb.
Speaker 2: Yeah, phantom limb and like phantom pain.
Speaker 1: So she had a neuro musculo skeletal implant which allows
Speaker 1: her to maneuver a prosthetic hand with her mind. It's
Speaker 1: just fucking crazy. And also like not from Elon Musk,
Speaker 1: so it sounds a lot cooler. Yea was tested on
Speaker 1: presumably hundreds of thousands of monkeys, but yeah, it's her
Speaker 1: description of what she was dealing with, Like before the
Speaker 1: bionic hand, it felt like I constantly had my hand
Speaker 1: in a meat grinder, which created a high level of stress,
Speaker 1: and I had to take high doses of various pain
Speaker 1: killers before this. And then with the aid of the
Speaker 1: neuromuscular implant, the patient can maneuver the prosthetic hand with
Speaker 1: her mind, allowing her to pick up objects, and the
Speaker 1: titanium hand actually bonded with her bone matter through the
Speaker 1: surgical process.
Speaker 3: Ok One time, bones and doll isn't a little bit freaky? Okay?
Speaker 3: I like this version of bone fusing with I mean
Speaker 3: because this is something that I've like, I feel like
Speaker 3: in the nineties we always saw like the promise of
Speaker 3: some like bionic prostheses, and I'm like, when is that happening?
Speaker 3: But I guess this is like the way I'm seeing
Speaker 3: it written about. This is pretty Uh, this is a
Speaker 3: pretty major breakthrough.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it is Star Wars and it is you know.
Speaker 1: Now we just need them to do Lightsaber and we'll
Speaker 1: have I would start.
Speaker 3: With maybe, you know, advancements in oncology, maybe.
Speaker 1: Thing like Darth Vader pill to grow my hair back
Speaker 1: pill to grow hairback light safer on College World Hopper
Speaker 1: and the yeah you have your marching orders Eminem's Are you?
Speaker 2: Are you a eminem king Miles? I don't know.
Speaker 3: I'm an eminem popper. You're an eminem popper with them
Speaker 3: because I pop them, baby, But it's a double on,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I like. Yeah, look, look I love
Speaker 3: peanut eminems. I don't like almond eminems. I like the
Speaker 3: brownie eminems. I like the cookie Eminem's. Shout out Rex, Ryan, y, you.
Speaker 2: Do want to fuck the green eminem you've always said off?
Speaker 2: Mic Oh? Is that? Where are we supposed to keep
Speaker 2: that off?
Speaker 1: Mic?
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, I guess guts out of the back. Sorry,
Speaker 3: Lola Bunny, you've been replaced.
Speaker 1: But they are a logical promotion where you can get
Speaker 1: free candy delivered to your house on Halloween night if
Speaker 1: you're running out of Eminem's for trigger treaters, or presumably
Speaker 1: if you're you know, just getting high and watching Rocky
Speaker 1: horror and just you want some free candy exactly. But
Speaker 1: this is being done through So my first thought is
Speaker 1: bad time to be on the roads.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, I gotta I gotta drop off this promotional
Speaker 3: bag of Eminem's kids get to the fucking.
Speaker 1: Road, like to and to be like calling something like
Speaker 1: rescue squad. So it suggests like an emergency is taking place,
Speaker 1: like as children uh with diminished visibility or wandering around
Speaker 1: uh night darkened streets.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. I don't know about this.
Speaker 1: Also, this delivery is being facilitated by Go Puff.
Speaker 2: You might wonder why they call Go Puff.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I always thought it was like, are they selling weed?
Speaker 2: And they never was.
Speaker 1: No, but it was a hookah delivery service. That's how
Speaker 1: they started. Oh that's why they go Puff.
Speaker 3: Holy shit. I love when like they're like, we're staying
Speaker 3: true to our fucking big clouds of hookah smoke roofs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Go Puff, uh huh.
Speaker 1: But they have been called out in recent years for
Speaker 1: pressuring managers to not let their employees take bathroom breaks.
Speaker 1: Oh great, great, great, Greg, you have a emergency delivery
Speaker 1: from a rescue squad driver who have to pee real bad,
Speaker 1: and a bunch of children walking around with their witch
Speaker 1: mask on backwards.
Speaker 2: You know, Yeah, I just don't love it. McDonald's. Don't
Speaker 2: love it as much as I love peanut Eminem's.
Speaker 3: Wait, why'd you say McDonald's. Yeah, I don't love him
Speaker 3: mcd Oh, you're just giving them the reverse, Are you
Speaker 3: mean eminem's Eminem's Oh uh wait? Does Eminem's not stand
Speaker 3: for McDonald's and McDonald No, Jack, I keep damn it.
Speaker 3: Christ all right, all right, let's take it from the top. Hello,
Speaker 3: the uh mark three here we go.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 3: Again, I think at first I was like, oh, I
Speaker 3: hope you can just like bring their business down. But
Speaker 3: now when you know that obviously this is going to
Speaker 3: be delivered off the back of someone who's just.
Speaker 2: Been like, oh fuck, it's gonna have to.
Speaker 3: Drive around town throwing one bag of Eminem's out.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I got my own emergency eminem delivery service and it's
Speaker 1: called my Children. Wow, go trigger treating and then deliver
Speaker 1: those eminems to me. The erotic thriller is back. Maybe
Speaker 1: I don't know. Are you an erotic thriller fan?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 2: Of course you like to get horned up with your scares?
Speaker 2: Oh man, disclosure disclosure disclothed.
Speaker 3: What was the other one, dude? I was like, again,
Speaker 3: it was a Sharon Stone freak back in the day.
Speaker 2: Deliver Aaron Stone free.
Speaker 3: Yeah, man, Sliver, I was fucking with even Yeah, like
Speaker 3: I just remember all those movies back then for sure.
Speaker 2: Well yeah, I mean pre internet porn.
Speaker 3: Like when we were talking when we did our episode
Speaker 3: with Chelsea Davante's about our lack of horniness, is like
Speaker 3: those The reason it wasn't because I was like, I
Speaker 3: was just like I might see sex.
Speaker 2: M hmm, so bringing.
Speaker 1: See I'm gonna watch this because I might see might
Speaker 1: see sex.
Speaker 2: How about that?
Speaker 1: Anyways, Disclosure also just a great super realistic depiction of
Speaker 1: the future of technology, where wherein we all use virtual
Speaker 1: reality head pieces to do filing. You know, we file
Speaker 1: away our computer files in a virtual library and just
Speaker 1: like carry them around through hallways instead of saving them
Speaker 1: to a disc. But anyways, there's a new movie on Netflix.
Speaker 1: It's the number one movie on Netflix. It's called fair Play.
Speaker 1: Like okay, that title sounds like a thing that like
Speaker 1: a horny guy says, like a fair play. It's about
Speaker 1: a woman Phoebe dinover de Never who knows from Bridgerton,
Speaker 1: and a man played by Lil Han Solo, the guy
Speaker 1: who played Han Solo.
Speaker 3: In the uh thet Kid.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, I don't think it's el Gort, but
Speaker 1: it's the guy who I thought was They They occupied
Speaker 1: the same space my brain for a long time. Yeah yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: Aaron Reich. Yeah. But they work at a hedge fund firm.
Speaker 1: Oh I can't wait, and they begin a steamy relationship huh.
Speaker 1: But things then go south when the woman gets promoted
Speaker 1: and the guy doesn't uh.
Speaker 3: Oh so we're right back to the fear of the
Speaker 3: powerful woman.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, and what I'm hoping the woman is the protagonist.
Speaker 1: It's made by a woman filmmaker who said they loved
Speaker 1: Michael douglas movies. Chloe domont is the first time director
Speaker 1: who wrote and directed this and cites several Michael Douglas
Speaker 1: movies as influences.
Speaker 2: So I'm hoping it's not.
Speaker 1: Just like, man, this girl got too much power and
Speaker 1: then she was evil to the guy.
Speaker 2: But we'll see.
Speaker 3: Oh no, yeah, it sounds like after she gets promoted,
Speaker 3: Luke's resentment over not being promoted becomes increasingly apparent, leading
Speaker 3: to tensions.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but okay, Yeah, it'll be interesting to see if
Speaker 1: this one takes off because there's been a lot of
Speaker 1: erotic thrillers that people have been wanting, Like, we like
Speaker 1: the idea of erotic thrillers making a comeback with like
Speaker 1: Don't Worry Darling, deep Water with ben A Fleck, and
Speaker 1: but those movies like I feel like they kind of
Speaker 1: came and went right.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well, also with Don't Worry Darling, if no one even
Speaker 3: talked about the movie, everything was like, does Chris Pine
Speaker 3: hate this motherfucker. Like it was like, all, like, that's
Speaker 3: the only thing I remember from the movie, and then
Speaker 3: something something Jason sidekaz Olivia Wild Divorce is like the
Speaker 3: all the only thing is I know about this about
Speaker 3: that movie. But I think it's probably I'd imagine that
Speaker 3: the twenty twenty three version of an erotic thriller isn't
Speaker 3: going to fall into the same old weird shit like
Speaker 3: it's nineties predecessors did.
Speaker 1: We'll see, maybe we can't. Maybe we'll watch it and
Speaker 1: review it for you on Monday. I got a lot
Speaker 1: of a lot of options. The Taylor Swift.
Speaker 3: I saw the concert though I don't.
Speaker 1: Know, but like so I didn't really know any of
Speaker 1: the songs. I still don't, but like now maybe i'd
Speaker 1: be like, oh yeah, okay, this sounds better the second
Speaker 1: time I'm hearing it.
