When a couple's car mysteriously breaks down hours before the annual Purge begins, they find themselves stranded in downtown Los Angeles as chaos descends. Rescued by a heavily armed stranger with his own agenda for the night, they join other civilians caught outside during the 12-hour period where all crime is legal.

The Purge: Anarchy takes us beyond the home invasion scenario of the first film and onto the streets, revealing the true horror of this dystopian America. What makes this film particularly disturbing isn't just the random violence, but the organized, calculated nature of the killing. Government forces systematically kidnap citizens from lower-income neighborhoods to sell to the wealthy for their private hunting parties, exposing the Purge for what it truly is—a mechanism for population control targeting the poor.

Frank Grillo's character, known simply as Sergeant, embodies the moral complexity at the heart of the film. Initially venturing out for revenge, he repeatedly chooses to protect others despite his personal mission. Through his journey and the various civilian reactions to extreme danger, the film raises profound questions about human nature. Would we maintain our humanity when all rules disappear? How would we actually react when facing life-threatening situations after living in relative safety? The inconsistency between how we think we'd behave versus our actual reactions under pressure becomes a fascinating aspect of the story.

The film's exploration of class warfare, government conspiracy, and the emergence of an anti-Purge resistance movement adds layers to this franchise that elevate it beyond simple horror. Ready to see if you'd survive a night where anyone could be hunting you? Listen now and join our debate about whether the rules of the Purge would truly contain the violence to just one night a year.

Welcome to Purge Anarchy

Speaker 1

Hello survivors and welcome back to another episode of Will you Survive .

Actually , we'll take the listens and views wherever we can get them , but also screw you .

Speaker 3

That's how I feel that's from TJ .

Speaker 1

But yeah , that's Alex , that's Eric .

Speaker 2

I'm Eric .

Speaker 1

Eric is the less brown one , alex is the African one .

Speaker 2

And then TJ is the most brown one .

Speaker 1

He's kind of Arabic looking to be honest , you get confused with Persian .

Speaker 3

I've never been confused for Arabic .

Speaker 2

Persian . I mean , isn't that ? Is that not close enough ?

Speaker 1

It's close , it's close enough .

Speaker 3

Not really , it's .

Speaker 2

Mediterranean huh .

Speaker 3

There's a big enough difference that you should be careful with that stuff .

Speaker 2

Oh , what are they ? Do they have wars or history ? Oh , there's history . Oh , is that like , uh , what are the two ? What is it like ? Pakistan and india , if you , uh , no , what's the one where ? If you call the other the other day like they get really super offended because there's a lot of like war and history well , there's el sabadero and new york , there's El Salvadorano and New York and New Jersey .

Speaker 3

Even Guatamalteco and Mexican . No , you don't call them .

Speaker 2

I think I was thinking about what TJ said New York and New Jersey .

Speaker 1

I don't know what you just said .

Speaker 3

Anyways , today all we're doing is talking about .

Speaker 1

I'll put out points for whoever .

Speaker 3

Are we talking about the Purge or just anything ?

Speaker 1

Well , I mean , we could talk about anything . The last episode I edited what was that ? The Day After Tomorrow ? It was funny as fuck because we just were off topic .

Speaker 3

Whatever you want to talk about Everything .

Speaker 1

We were talking about fucking just everything , dude . At one point , me and you were just trying to interrupt him the whole time I remember that , so I was just like .

Speaker 3

So I've been replaying uncharted recently so I've been playing like you'd mentioned . For those of you don't know that was will you survive the day after tomorrow ? Surviving climate catastrophe , brand new ? And make sure to go check brand new episode , very funny , go check it out .

Speaker 1

Yeah , you should definitely make some clips out of that . That'll get some views . But yeah , we could talk about the movie . I mean , that's kind of what we are . We are a movie podcast , even if there has been a giant gap in movie-age Is there ? Yeah , yeah .

Speaker 3

Oh wow , we did .

Speaker 1

Cast .

Speaker 3

Away . And then we didn't do , then we did map code black code , black .

Speaker 2

Part two the survivor's auction .

Speaker 3

Then we did uh the day after black part two , he broke it up into two oh , I didn't even know that yeah , because you guys took like 250 years . I blame no direction he's really not lying there , because it was 43 minutes in the first part no way .

Speaker 2

And 37 minutes on the second part . That's actually insane . I blame poor direction .

Speaker 1

And then it left on a cliffhanger . It left on a cliffhanger . I thought we were coming back to it this time , and that's what we're picking up today . We just did the most TikTok thing ever , so you made me watch the Purge for no reason .

Speaker 3

I kind of thought he almost did that .

Speaker 2

I really thought about doing that .

Speaker 1

I was , yeah , but I did kind of want to do the series because we haven't done like a series .

Speaker 2

Yeah , you know , I'm actually so to actually talk about the movie , I'm actually enjoying this series . I think it's interesting how each movie kind of takes on a different aspect of the purge and kind of shows a different part of it . I'm excited , for I just saw on prime the um , uh , the purge like the first purge , or is that the new one ? Um , because there's election day and then there's there's another one called like uh , yeah , and then there's Election .

Speaker 1

Day . And then there's another one called like yeah , and then there's one called the First Purge .

Speaker 2

I think that's the newest one that came out .

Speaker 1

That came . Yeah , that came before or after everything , but before everything in the universe .

Speaker 3

So let's see , there are five of them .

Speaker 1

Oh what .

Speaker 3

There are five Purge movies and if you were to watch them in order , you would chronological order , not order of release . You would want to watch the first Purge 2018 , the Purge 2013 , the Purge Anarchy 2014 , the Purge Election Year 2016 , and the Forever Purge 2021 .

Speaker 1

What's the Forever Purge ? I didn't even know it was a thing .

Speaker 3

So the Forever Purge , released in 2021 . Adela and her husband , juan , live in Texas and I got to click more . Oh , you , son of a bitch , that'll make me go to a whole nother page . They live in Texas , where Juan .

Speaker 1

Let's give a synopsis of a different movie . I almost did .

Speaker 3

They live in Texas , where Juan is working as a ranch hand for a wealthy Tucker family , juan impresses the Tucker patriarch , caleb , but that fuels the jealous anger of Caleb's son , dylan . On the morning after the purge , a massed gang of killers attacks the Tucker family , including Dylan's wife and his sister , forcing both families to band together and fight back . As the country spirals into chaos and the united states begins to disintegrate all around them , which that kind of fuels our fire we've been talking about . I don't think that people would wait on the purge day and that would be proof of it , depending on how long that is afterwards . I don't know that it would last that long so I've been thinking about that recently .

Speaker 2

A couple things . This movie kind of showed that it really seems like crime after 12 pm on the . The night of the purge is kind of just ignored , um , because they straight up that that that gang , uh , that wanted to kidnap the , the two in the couple in the beginning , they cut their power steering and that's illegal , that's very illegal , um , if it's not purge night already . And so it kind of set this precedent of like we don't care , like nobody's gonna come save you right now , right before the purge starts it . It kind of seems like law enforcement stops before the purge starts .

Speaker 1

Let me tell you the thing that I mean like yeah , they probably got to get everything off of the fucking street before the thing that starts .

Speaker 3

Imagine , like , all the damage to like police cars and shit you know the thing that absolutely infuriated me about this was you don't cut a power steering line and then minutes or miles down the road , you realize it ?

Speaker 2

yeah , would be pretty immediate . You know what else wouldn't happen ? Your car wouldn't just stall .

Speaker 3

Right .

Speaker 2

And then it sounds like the engine's trying to turn over , and then all of a sudden nothing at all . I'm like oh so your engine just went from perfectly functioning to can't turn on , to doesn't have any life in it at all , in a matter of like five seconds .

Speaker 3

That is the worst car I've ever seen in my life .

Speaker 2

I was a little frustrated by some of what was going on with that car that was super plot , uh plot weapon to force them to be there but I , I will say they honestly , could have done something like a really bad flat tire and that would have been a lot more believable but the part that was pissing me off is what the hell were they doing ?

Speaker 3

they're going grocery shopping why in the city and you have nowhere to go , like who just drives into this city to go grocery shopping fucking 12 hours it does seem a little .

Speaker 1

What were they at ? A fucking toilet paper ?

Speaker 2

I feel it did seem like they were cutting it a little close for no reason , obviously way too close , but I think I'm not gonna lie , I I think that would be a really common thing to happen if the purge was real , where people would think that they had more time because people are chronically late . You know me being one , uh , chronically late all the time . I it's always because I think I have enough time and then I just don't you definitely don't got enough time to be driving around .

Speaker 2

No , yeah , I definitely think if the purge was real , I think six hours before . I want to be home , I want to already be home yeah , also don't like , yeah , no , like what ?

Speaker 1

what were they ?

Speaker 2

that was a bit it was a bit , you know , uh , crazy , also like that gang that that kidnapped them later on , but that they were like following them in the beginning . What was with the jump scare in the parking lot during legal hours ? Crazy thing to do I .

Speaker 3

This is why I think that they were already demonstrating that they were willing

Analyzing the Film's Logic

Speaker 3

to commit murder before that the purge .

Speaker 2

That's what I was seeing yeah , okay , we're waiting .

Speaker 3

But , like , if you're causing the person to not be able to get to their safe destination , you're committing a crime , aren't you committing murder ?

Speaker 2

And I think to your point . What I was thinking about is , let's say , on the night of the purge , like right before sunrise , someone kills your child , right in front of you , and then the purge siren rings . You're just going to be like , oh well , the purge , the purge is over . No , you're gonna kill that person if you can like , right there .

Speaker 2

In that moment I don't think you care anymore that the purge has already ended and I and I think , even if they don't do it in that exact moment I I can't imagine somebody being rational enough to wait till the next year , but there there's really like in the words of year , but there's really like in the words of like the movie .

Speaker 1

there's a difference between like that and , you know , releasing the beast you know , it's like the person who you know is doing these things on Purge Night . They're doing it for like their own fucking reason , Right , it's because they're fucking crazy , Right , so , like I don it for like their own fucking reason , right , it's because they're fucking crazy right .

Speaker 3

So like I don't know , it's just like . Can I tell you what it is ? I didn't like anybody in this movie , none of our characters I like the man I like sergeant uh the main dude .

Speaker 1

Yeah , I feel like he would be a good fucking , you know , like he . Why didn't you like he would guy ?

Speaker 3

he would have been a pretty good punisher uh , I really I didn't like the writing , not the character , but he's like this super authoritative badass . But how many times did he have to tell this fucking little girl to shut up , stop talking .

Speaker 2

No , I'm not having this conversation with you I think that kind of showed a weak spot , like with him I I because you I think yeah no , he , he has like a heart , you know , like when he first ran into the two chicks who got pulled out of their apartment for the fucking big truck for his own personal purge , which like just drive around and shoot people .

Speaker 1

Why are you ?

Speaker 3

but if he you know .

Speaker 1

but I guess if you have the resources . But you know he was like yo don't , don't stop , just keep going yeah he didn't want to .

Speaker 2

Why would I stop for this ? And you saw that again .

Speaker 1

No , I completely know .

Speaker 2

You saw it again later after the apartment , when they're at the bottom of the apartment and he's debating if he's just going to leave or if he's going to stay and help them . And it was that moment where he realized , like fuck me for being a good person like this is so frustrating I want to just leave .

Speaker 3

That's not . That's not the point . I get all of that . The point is from their perspective . They don't know him . They find out he's out to purge . What are you doing out , all fully armed , loaded ? I mean , you have all of this arsenal , what ? What are you doing out ? Clearly he's out to purge .

Speaker 2

Yeah .

Speaker 3

And yet they're going to push his fucking buttons Be realistic ?

Speaker 2

I don't know , because I'm also thinking like this guy could have killed me 15,000 times beforehand already . Clearly he does not want to kill me and he is not a bad guy like that . Clearly he's not out here just to kill . He's going after someone specifically and she clocked that right away and when I still don't think that the when the couple was in the car .

Speaker 1

I still don't think that the psychological head out , you , you have got in .

Speaker 3

I'm sorry , but you have somebody with a loaded weapon who just blasted a whole bunch of fools in front of you and you're gonna push their buttons . Well , hang on .

Speaker 2

Blasted a whole bunch of fools in front of you and you're going to push their buttons . Well , hang on , blasted . A whole bunch of fools in front of you who are trying to kidnap you . Then he goes to walk away , but he decides to turn back and offer help .

Speaker 3

I get all of that .

Speaker 2

Hang on , hang on , you follow him . You go back to his car where there are two random strangers in there he threatens to shoot them , but he threatens to shoot them , but then when danger comes , he decides fuck it and he goes in and he doesn't kill anybody . He's just proven that he is not out to kill people . That is not necessary . At that point I think she was way too ballsy and they made it a point that she's way too vocal .

Speaker 3

That's my point . She was way too damned annoying .

Speaker 2

At the same time , it's not not like , because when she did have to shut the fuck up , she knew when to when they were on the stage yes , when they were on the stage I was kind of half expecting her to run her mouth and get shot , but she didn't , when she knew that this is not an option anymore . I will die if I say something . She didn't say anything , but she felt something with that guy . She felt comfortable enough to keep pushing his buttons and know that he's not going to hurt me .

Speaker 3

Annoyed the shit out of me . She was the most annoying out of every character in this movie .

Speaker 2

I didn't mind her .

Speaker 3

She drove me absolutely out of my mind . She wouldn't stop talking . She was way too ballsy for somebody who you're watching all of this going on around you . It's so unrealistic .

Speaker 2

How unbelievably annoyingly vocal she would be in this situation . The only thing I'm I minded is when they're like clearly trying to sneak and everybody's talking , I'm like yo shut up what are ?

Speaker 3

we doing guys another one , annoyed , but that was like everybody .

Speaker 2

I'm like can you all shut the fuck up ? You guys are trying to sneak right now yeah , like we .

Speaker 1

You know how many crazy people are in fucking los angeles yeah , just normally plenty , so like what , yeah , cut it , stop talking I wouldn't talk .

Speaker 2

Yeah , I would not speak until spoken to yeah , fucking sign language , I don't know , another .

Speaker 1

When they're walking , like in that little tunnel area , it's all like the freaking people trying to hide . I still would Shut the fuck up .

Speaker 3

The other girl , shane , and I forget her name .

Speaker 2

Dude , that broke my heart when he died .

Speaker 3

I was sad , but she annoyed the hell out of me Liz .

Speaker 2

How . I feel like you're being a hater with these characters . Everybody's so annoyed they talked . Why did they talk ?

Speaker 3

Not just talk . It's useless , useless talk .

Speaker 2

I'll agree with that Number one you have to be fucking quiet . You're being hunted . I'll agree with that .

Speaker 3

You're being hunted and you won't shut the F up Out on the streets like dude . Let's learn some freaking stealth here . They had no self-preservation .

Speaker 2

I do get that , but at the same time she did do some pretty badass shit .

Speaker 3

All countered by her stupidity . She screamed when somebody down the street got shot . She screamed at the rat .

Speaker 2

Yeah , okay , the rat annoyed me , I get it . I get it because it's like uh , it would be the same thing like just because I'm in a tense situation to me does not mean that if a spider landed on my face , that I wouldn't lose my fucking mind I get it but , it would . It's an involuntary reaction , so the rat I get I . I was also annoyed by it , but I understand . But but the other stuff is like . I think that goes to show that she had no business being out there .

Speaker 3

No , I get .

Speaker 2

I completely get that .

Speaker 3

But all of the she couldn't control it , all of the badassness that they had her do . This is why I'm complaining about the writing . Right , I think the actors did what they were supposed to do . The writing is my complaint because they have her do this immensely incredible stuff at one point and then she screams at a rat .

Speaker 2

It's like dude , come on did she do the incredible stuff before the rat ? I think she did after to be honest I mean number one .

Speaker 3

Crawling into that car was pretty ballsy like yeah and then he comes up and he , he points a loaded weapon in their face and they have the balls to sit there and argue their case .

Speaker 2

I mean what's their options though ?

Speaker 3

But somebody down the fucking street gets shot and she screams . Bro , you had a freaking weapon pointed in your face and you weren't screaming .

Speaker 1

I don't think she was calm .

Speaker 3

You were arguing your case not calm , but she was collected .

Speaker 2

I don't know . I think that's different . If he had shot Shane right in front of her , she would have screamed . Even if he shot Shane in the hand or the foot , she would have screamed . If someone got shot in that moment , I think she definitely would have screamed , but I think in that moment it was like we don't have any other choice . This is where we are .

Speaker 1

We're going to die was like like we don't have any other choice . This is where we are .

Speaker 3

We're gonna die either way also I don't think it would be smart to yeah , it wasn't smart to scream on the street when you're hiding from these people .

Speaker 2

I agree with that too like they're hot on your .

Speaker 3

Yeah , but I think that's the thing is like it's an involuntary reaction she had no business being out there .

Speaker 2

She's not that type of person . She was stuck out there .

Speaker 1

No , she's a normal person at all , desensitized .

Speaker 2

She's just a normal person who got caught up in all that . Yeah , I agree with you . Yeah , she was . She's not desensitized in the way that that the sergeant was , and I think where I give her a ton of props is like when shane was , when they were in the tunnels and shane realized we're not gonna make it . We have to stop these guys or we're all going to die . And so he decides to sit back and shoot at them to delay them and his wife decides well , I'm going to be here with you . And she sits there . She was . She was the one who shot the dude , the driver . So I don't know . I give her a lot of credit because she was . The character is just a completely fucking normal human being who has never done anything like this , caught out in the worst situation . I don't blame her for screaming when watching someone get shot . I don't know how I would react if I watched someone get shot in front of me .

Speaker 1

I mean you have to come to the realization that they've seen this before .

Speaker 2

But on a screen .

Speaker 3

Yeah , okay , but it's not like you don't know that this is happening .

Speaker 2

Yes , but to actually be a part of it is different .

Speaker 3

I still don't think that the desensitization would have occurred already , for example .

Speaker 2

No , but like there's levels to that you know Absolutely .

Speaker 3

No , not when you're talking about this .

Speaker 1

I have played violent video games my entire life . I've seen horrific videos online . Literally today , with Eric , I gunned down an entire jewelry store full of people .

Speaker 2

Yeah , we don't have to censor that . It was his fault .

Speaker 3

We're playing Payday it was his fault If that happened to me .

Speaker 1

Right , no , no , no , no , I know , I know , but still , if that , but like the , the being desensitized , like , like .

Speaker 2

What he's saying is that we , we play . Let's use instagram , for example . Right , I quite literally watch people die on instagram all the time last night last night .

Speaker 1

My algorithm

Character Reactions and Consistency

Speaker 1

was destroyed , absolutely horrific , where every video was just somebody dying and I was like oh my god , I need to fucking turn off Instagram .

Speaker 2

This is awful . I straight up felt like I was just on the dark web at this point .

Speaker 1

It got really bad .

Speaker 2

But if I watch somebody die in front of me in real life , it's not like I'd be like , oh , just like the Instagram video . No , that would be way different . No , no , no , no , no , no , no , no , no , no , no , no , no , no , no , no , no , no , no , no , no , no , no , no , no , no , no , no no and that's not an that's not an equal comparison sitting and

Speaker 3

watching it on instagram versus what about ? Let's put it into ground level , people who live in war zones . You're watching it on tv , it's happening all around you and then you see it now . Will it scare you ? Of course it will . I'm not saying it's not scary , but what I'm saying is the level of desensitization they gave her this reaction , as if this was the first time she's ever even heard of the purge . Right they ? Everything with this couple was wrong . Why were they out there ? What were they doing ? Where were they going ? Were they ? Were they home ? What was home anywhere nearby ? They had no idea where they were going to . Why were you ?

Speaker 3

in a freaking city in the city of los angeles right before this known event and then , when it all starts happening around you , your impression that you're giving off is that I didn't know it was really like this . There should have been number one . I think there should have been much more , either , or either make her much more fearful . She was a basket case . You can't control her . You can't get her to shut the hell up . She's a liability . It would have been just as annoying , but it would have been consistent . She . She was so inconsistent and again , not the actress .

Speaker 3

I think she did her job , I don't have a problem I'm complaining about the writing I think it was so inconsistent her level of desensitization of the situation bounced all around . She recognized that it was real , that it was happening that this happens every year . Her level of desensitization of the situation bounced all around . She recognized that it was real , that it was happening , that this happens every year , all the way up to the very end where she tells them go without me . I want to purge Like all of that Fine At the end that made sense .

Speaker 2

It was good character development in the beginning .

Speaker 3

She was terrified . Awful character development .

Speaker 2

In the beginning she was terrified . Character development in the beginning she was terrified and and again terrified would be fine , and again it was consistent .

Speaker 2

No , I don't think . I just really disagree with you . I I don't think that she was acting like she didn't know this was going on . I just think it's very different to see it firsthand versus seeing it on a screen like , for instance . Let's go back to the war example . I know the war in Gaza is happening . I know the war in Ukraine and Russia is happening and I could watch videos . I mean , shoot you watch videos on Instagram of people posting like airsoft videos and you're watching people get shot right in front of you on a screen .

Speaker 3

But if I were to actually be there and see someone next to me , your desensitization would be vastly different from someone living in it . Someone who lives there would be way more desensitized than you .

Speaker 2

Yes , someone who's gone through these purges , but that's not OK . So , but these are people who've gone through the purge but have never experienced anything during it .

Speaker 1

They've been safe at home the whole time clear clearly they have not gone through anything like this , because why would they be out ?

Speaker 3

so nonchalantly like that's what they were . That's that's my point .

Speaker 1

I guarantee they live in like a middle class .

Speaker 3

That's my point . What the hell were they doing ?

Speaker 2

no , no , I agree with you on that . Not so , they're not any sense . I agree with you on that Also . I was wondering , do you guys ?

Speaker 1

recognize where they were at you know what area when they broke down I believe was the 6th Street Bridge .

Speaker 3

Yeah , Is that close to the ?

Speaker 1

hood . I mean , it's not really hood .

Speaker 3

I mean that's kind of like all of them . There's also very , very , very upscale parts of downtown and it is kind of just randomized , it is .

Speaker 2

It's not like there's like there is like the east side , like southeast side of LA is usually a little more hood , but LA in general is like you just have these random pockets of this is a very nice street and nice area and then you walk one street over and you're on Skid Row .

Speaker 1

And you're like , oh okay , so yeah , so what I was just ? I think they weren't just , they weren't prepared for it .

Speaker 2

I mean , I feel like the writing could be better , but I feel like she was a decent character it wasn't like so horrendous that it was pissing me off the whole movie I didn't have any problem with her .

Speaker 3

So again , you know this purge is going on . How the hell do you leave your gun in the kitchen and you're off in the freaking bedroom ? How do you not carry it everywhere you go ?

Speaker 2

I get it because I would . I know what you mean , but at the same time I think it's complacency . I think it's they've gone . This is the sixth annual purge , so they've gone five years with nothing , with nothing ever happening to them . She's probably never had to use that . Nothing would have happened to her if the government was not getting involved in ramping up the purge numbers . So she had . She would have been fine . Most people would have been fine on this on this year if it wasn't for those trucks which were run by the government . So that's where , like , I do think it's a little hard to judge them for that , because they were right , they didn't really have anything to worry about because most purgers weren't trying to break into houses . That was the whole point of the security systems , where it's like , yeah , you could break in if you really wanted to . But the idea is that most people are going to look at it and go , ah , there's easier targets .

Speaker 1

Yeah , there's other people out on the street . Why would I waste my time trying to get into this ? I'm wasting time , no , ok , but now where she messed up was that I was just remembering .

Speaker 2

The first person who broke into her apartment was not the government .

Speaker 3

No , that was the , it was the landlord right or whatever . He was , yeah , yeah , a neighbor . It was like a neighbor or something . He was like you walked past me every day Also shout out no googly Emmy .

Speaker 1

I'll never forget that man's name . He is Hector in every goddamn movie . No , googly Emmy .

Speaker 3

He wasn't hector . In this you're right , he is hector and everything kind of ruined the movie for me he's literally hector , like .

Speaker 1

Look him up on imdb . No , google emmy , and you'll see it's just hector , hector , hector , hector . He was hector in the fast and furious franchise um , I I do agree it was like complacency on her part because she nothing like this had happened to her right . Like I guarantee , the first purge she was sitting there clutching that bitch . Second purge , probably still doing it , and then , as it got further and further , she's like yo , we're probably good .

Speaker 1

Fourth , you know I'll keep it next to me but like she wasn't really thinking about it , she was thinking about how , which is what I wanted to get into where the fuck did her dad go ? She knew she , she knew , right , yeah so like , which is crazy , so I wanted to talk about that . Would you guys , if you knew that you were like dying , would you sell ?

Speaker 2

yourself to a rich family dude , just $100,000 yeah I don't know because yeah , if it was like execution style maybe .

Speaker 1

But yeah , they all pull out machetes and i'm'm like , oh no , this is going to be a horrifying way to go .

Speaker 2

Okay , I don't know , I think I might need more than $100,000 for that . For machetes , I feel like a million .

Speaker 1

No , no , you need to be putting $10 million in all my kids' bank accounts each .

Speaker 2

If I'm going to let you machete me Like .

Speaker 1

I know you got connections to like a good fucking , like university , like make sure I mean like I I'm talking like set up for life shit's wild they say 20 million is the magic number that shit was wild . They had a whole dexter kill chamber .

Speaker 2

That was crazy and that's what's crazy is that that was only like . That was so early on in the movie and it never comes back up after that .

Speaker 3

Which , frankly speaking , I'm curious . I don't know that there would be anything to this , but typical Hollywood rules if you don't see a body , they're not dead .

Speaker 1

Oh , but .

Speaker 3

I don't know that there's anything to it .

Speaker 2

Yeah .

Speaker 3

That he would come back for anything . I was kind of hoping he would come back in this movie and be like oh , they couldn't go through with it , or something like that .

Speaker 1

What would be crazy is if they tied it back to the last movie and the family was there . They left . That would have been crazy .

Speaker 3

They didn't go through with it because they left to go get that other family , Because they looked all the same people right .

Speaker 2

I mean , yeah , rich white people looked like that .

Speaker 3

Are we saying that all white people look the same .

Speaker 1

I like the world building .

Speaker 2

Okay , no , In the Purge movies it seems that way .

Speaker 1

It did seem that way they all look the same man In the Purge movies . I think they have a casting type . I swear they seriously find a picture of somebody and they're like let's find 15 people who look so similar to this guy yeah and let's have them do 15 different roles in this movie exactly yeah , let's just have a whole family of white people that just scream yeah , oh yeah , absolutely from that whole auction back in the the auction .

Speaker 2

Oh my god , what the hell that is . That is crazy . First of all , the lack of humanity and all that . But second , did you guys catch that ? I mean , I'm sure you guys did , but I'm sure you guys caught that the sergeant knew pretty early on what was happening and what was going to happen , which is why he didn't seem nervous at all for the auction , because it was like he already knew , and he already knew they were going to go into this hunting grounds with night vision goggles and whatnot . He already knew everything which kind of made me feel like he's been there before . Either he's been there before and he already escaped it once , or he just knows about this and he knows exactly what he's going into . Because he was not nervous at all . He was even like smirking at one point .

Speaker 2

I I thought so he was smirking like he knew like , oh , once we get in those hunting grounds , that's where things are going to switch .

Speaker 3

Because during the auction he was not nervous he knew what was happening . We didn't see anything . At least my screen was so damn dark . I couldn't see anything while it was going on .

Speaker 2

Was that ?

Speaker 3

your guys' take , or could you see stuff happening ?

Speaker 2

You could see stuff Okay .

Speaker 3

Eric were you driving around in the bright , sunny day trying to watch this on your phone .

Speaker 2

Well , I was trying to watch it in the sun , but then after the action it got to the dark part and I was like I got to go inside .

Speaker 3

I was actually in the dark . I turned the lights off and I still couldn't see anything that was going on .

Speaker 2

Oh no , I saw it .

Speaker 3

But until he got the glasses , and then I was like , oh , now was it all , sergeant , did he take down all three of those ?

Speaker 2

ahead of time . Yeah , okay .

Speaker 3

With the exception of the one that they all shot Right right Now . There was one part that I thought was interesting . Was you ever notice how , in these situations , when everybody has a piece , they all fire every single round that they have , so that the next round of people that come up they always say I don't have any more bullets .

Speaker 2

Yeah .

Speaker 3

Why did ?

Speaker 2

you freaking unload . You would think common sense , but I think we are all aware that common sense is not that common . I especially think , if you're not used to killing people and you're not used to shooting a gun , that I could see that being like . These people are trying to kill me . I'm just going to unload everything I got on them without the realization that maybe eight of us don't need to all shoot one guy with all of our ammunition because it was only the sergeant who was like I . You know , I'm not gonna use all my bullets on this guy , yeah now to be fair .

Speaker 2

The sergeant did say unload on him or something along those lines .

Speaker 3

So directions unclear , unload on him . I don't know why I I'm light him up .

Speaker 2

Light him up , something like that , that's what I was , which I don't know why I I'm light him up . Light him up something like that , that's what I was , which I don't know .

Speaker 3

Light him up to me means I'm pulling the trigger a couple times okay , but there was one twist that just threw me for a fucking loop . I wasn't ready for that massacre to go down in the apartment uh , eva's friend's apartment oh yeah , that shocked me , I was not ready for that .

Speaker 3

I was really like what did we just walk into Now the part that really kind of pisses me off about her . Like I realized the friend had really no moral standing whatsoever , so she of course let her friend come up with her friends and all of that went down with them in the apartment causing all of that chaos . But that shit was nuts dude .

Speaker 2

Yeah , I didn't expect her to get shot and all of that went down with them in the apartment , causing all of that chaos . But that shit was nuts dude . Yeah , I didn't expect her to get shot . You know what I took away from that , though ? I admired how the sergeant was like I'm going to get everybody out , and he was like this is not our fucking fight . He shot at her , defended himself and the others until they could all get out , and then he closed the door behind him and was like that is between you and your cheating husband .

Speaker 3

I am out of here .

Speaker 2

Insanity .

Speaker 3

But we did bring up that point in this last Purge movie was that exact situation . What happens ? The seven o'clock hour rolls around and both of them just stop fighting and they put their guns down and it's like okay .

Speaker 2

Until next year . One of them definitely was dead by the end of the night .

Speaker 3

I guess so .

Speaker 2

There's no way they survived . And that poor dad , I don't even know at that point what you do . That's horrifying , that's horrible .

Speaker 2

I know , I know um , I know , I know , yeah , there's , there's , but I think that's also I think that's also another example that the sergeant clearly was not just out for blood , because if that was the case , why wouldn't he have just hunted down the girl ? If he was just out to purge and for blood , why wouldn't he have just killed her ? But instead he got everybody out and he left , and he just left them to their own fight .

Speaker 1

He clearly didn't want to be fighting . I never thought that .

Speaker 2

I think that's the vibe that the daughter was picking up on , she still annoyed the hell out of me . She was acting like his daughter .

Speaker 3

She was acting like a daughter . She annoyed the hell out of me . To be fair , if a girl other than s*** acted like s like does to me , I would be annoyed yeah , yeah I , I know exactly what you mean you guys ?

Speaker 1

do you guys want to watch the next one ? Yeah , I'm I'm really curious election day I remember I seen this one and I seen the next one in theaters . I don't know what my brain was on during this time , because I don't remember shit from this movie .

Speaker 2

It's not like I was super into the Verge . I remember seeing clips of Anarchy on FX on TV .

Speaker 3

The next one would be Election Year . That's on brand .

Speaker 2

Yeah , I'm excited for Election Year . I'm curious where this Anarchy goes , or where this Rebellion goes .

Speaker 1

It ties into something you hear in this movie , for like a split second it's um . When he's listening to the radio . I think it's like , oh , level something .

Speaker 3

Officials have been yeah , level 10 pardoned from . Oh yeah , they're immune participating .

Speaker 2

Yeah , so we talked about that last episode where we were like do we really believe that people would follow that rule ?

Speaker 3

Well , here's what I think . I don't think that would work for most , but what do you think about this ? Early on , I think it would make sense if they were to say certain people were immune , for instance firefighters , medics , doctors .

Speaker 2

But that would mean that they can't participate , you're right .

Speaker 1

I feel like those would be really sought sought after jobs for purging .

Speaker 3

They're really sought after jobs but

Government Involvement and Class Warfare

Speaker 3

there's not many people who can do them . So it's not something that it's not like farming , that you can just pick up a book and start learning and do a couple of trial and errors . You know you fail , you pass , you fail , you pass . I mean , unless you're practicing on purge night . That's pretty fucked up thought , huh .

Speaker 2

Yeah .

Speaker 3

That's like gore right there , like hostile or what are those ones ? I think that's it . I think hostile is the one I was thinking of . Have you ever seen any of those ?

Speaker 2

Mm-mm .

Speaker 3

Oh , they're awful . It's like this kid travels to Europe , stays in a hostel , they get kidnapped and they get sold to rich people who , in horrible , awful ways , torture them to their demise .

Speaker 1

It's a horrible movie , I mean you know it'd be crazy movie to do on air .

Speaker 2

It would be like I , I , I hate . I hate the idea of , of human centipedes . So much , you know what we know what bothers me about it . What bothers me about it is that somebody thought that up and wrote that script . Yeah , and that's what bothers me , and then they made a part two .

Speaker 3

I saw that .

Speaker 1

There's a second one where the dude who does the human centipeding is a fan of the human centipede movie . So , it's kind of meta and then that causes him to do a even longer human centipede . So it's kind of meta and then that causes the human centipede to even longer human centipede , but I always think of the south park human centipede and he's like I'm sorry , kyle do you want me to eat your puffer fish , he's like always off the hook man , they're so wild he is .

Speaker 3

that is always off the hook man , they're so wild .

Speaker 1

It is always . And they haven't cut any of the wildness there . They're still wild .

Speaker 3

Oh whoa . The latest episode is also very wild . I just chimed in and said there's actually a part three of the human centipede . That's just too far , is ?

Speaker 2

there . Honestly , talking about human centipede makes me feel sick .

Speaker 1

Who was watching these Makes me feel sick . I Honestly , talking about human centipede makes me feel sick . Who was watching these ? I mean me . You know about it right ? Yeah , it makes me feel sick . Oh , it's so gross I hate it Right now .

Speaker 2

while I was silent , I was thinking way too in-depth about it and it made me sick .

Speaker 3

No , and it's things like that . That's why I always give the piece of advice I give to my wife is never let it get past step . One I give to my wife is never let it get past step one . If someone tries to abduct you on the sidewalk , make them unalive you on the sidewalk because it's not going to get better than it is right .

Speaker 1

there you scream , you fight , you fucking punch kick .

Speaker 2

There are worse things than death . I've heard , if you can out crazy , the crazy guy .

Speaker 3

Also , that's what they say . Act crazy .

Speaker 1

Have you guys heard of Tuskk ? I've heard of that where did I hear that guy get ? Guy gets turned into a walrus ? That was a weird 2014 .

Speaker 3

I remember this . I remember that it's fucking kevin smith of all people it's in the same kind of vein of that's . It is justin long . Is the guy sent ?

Speaker 1

him being a little bit justin long is wallace , but that's just wild .

Speaker 2

You guys know about that . That movie called rubber , where it's just a killer tire , oh my god why do I hear about that ?

Speaker 3

yeah , I just heard I thought it was called tire uh , I thought it was called rubber let me look . I think you might be right .

Speaker 2

I think it might be literally a sentient tire that goes around killing yes , it was it's rubber .

Speaker 1

stupid , isn't there a Stephen King one that's ?

Speaker 2

It's so great With a car oh yeah , wait , there's a Stephen King one where a car goes after people , right ?

Speaker 3

That's called Maximum Overdrive .

Speaker 1

There's also Evil Bong , that's just mean Evil Bong .

Speaker 3

There's a lot of movies like yeah , that's like a violent stoner .

Speaker 2

Yeah .

Speaker 3

I get really mad , but I forget about it .

Speaker 2

Yeah , like violent stoner , bro . If he's at that point , he doesn't have death perception . You're lucky if he's going to get his fist up .

Speaker 3

I am so mad , but I can't remember why .

Speaker 2

Yeah well , for me it's more like just sitting there like , oh man , if I had it in me right now I'd beat you up .

Speaker 1

Shit , but I got these chills . Yeah , but I'm like I don't have it in me right ?

Speaker 3

now , actually , you bring up a really good point , because there were a very good example of that . You remember how house parties used to be . You guys ever go to house parties ?

Speaker 1

No , I was a loser . No , I'm a loser , nerd piece of shit . We'd go to a house party and everybody would be drinking and smoking and all of that .

Speaker 3

There would always be a tussle or two and when we started smoking , it was always one of the funnier things that you would get . People would get angry and you would have these like what do you call it ? Like , um , it's a , it's a grudge , but it never lasted long , because usually I'm just remembering one very specific uh group of guys . They were always having beef with each other , but then I'd see this you know , dude comes walking up with del taco or , like I always think , the chili cheese fries . That's all it takes , just a peace offering , and all of a sudden it's like , oh man .

Speaker 2

And I'm sitting off to the side being like dude .

Speaker 1

This guy's the fucking best .

Speaker 3

Hating on him like he wanted to unalive his mother . He's like oh , it's all good man .

Speaker 2

Yeah , no , we were just hangry . That was it man . Yeah , no we were just hangry .

Speaker 3

That was the difference between the angry drunk and the stoner see the angry drunk will do something .

Speaker 1

There's no such thing as an angry stoner you know I was pissed about when I was drunk last with eric . I got the wrong goddamn burrito . I think that was the final straw before I finally threw up everywhere he a lot . It was the wrong burrito . I wanted a cheesy double burrito .

Speaker 2

Was that the bachelor party ? He went to Taco .

Speaker 1

Bell , yeah , it was my bachelor party and I was so drunk I didn't care . I was like I don't think they want to go back to the tractor .

Speaker 2

Yeah , I don't think any of us were in the right state of mind to go back to the line and be like , oh you oh , it makes me throw up now ah , just because you're so angry , traumatized you know , he's pretty fucked up

Speaker 1

and then I got really sad . It's crazy , so funny .

Speaker 3

This is a I think I have . Yeah , I have a favorite at every restaurant , every one of those um fast food mexican restaurants . So , like el pollo loco , my favorite is the bean rice and cheese . Taco bell my favorite is the bean and cheese . And del taco my favorite is the bean and cheese . But there was one that I got completely wrong at . I think it was taco bell . I'm pretty sure it was taco bell . You'll be able to correct me , eric , because you you know the menu back in front I do love taco bell I believe it's called the beef and bean burrito .

Speaker 2

Oh , you know you know , as far as much as I go to Taco Bell , I really get like three things , do you ? I don't really venture outside of it too much . Is that Del Taco ?

Speaker 1

I don't know if it's a beef and bean burrito . I think that's probably Del Taco . That doesn't sound familiar for Taco Bell .

Speaker 2

Is it on the ?

Speaker 3

cheap menu . It's on the cheap menu , okay .

Speaker 2

That doesn't sound . Yeah , that doesn't sound .

Speaker 1

I don't remember seeing that , so it must be the beef and bean burrito , because Taco Bell has the cheesy .

Speaker 3

They also have the cheese roll-up , the cheese roll-up is awesome , the cheese roll-up is awesome , so it must be Del Taco . Then I was confusing the place . It was one of those that I always get the same things from Del Taco the bean and cheese burrito , one with red sauce , one with green sauce , and I was so wasted . I got the beef and bean and I was so mad that I had it , but then I ate it . I was like that is so fucking good .

Speaker 2

Yeah , you got to convince you , you got to remind yourself that it's not going to matter , what it really tastes like right now .

Speaker 3

It just needs to be greasy . I have no taste buds .

Speaker 2

Yeah , I feel like I'm a pretty rational person , even in like , especially in times where you know you would think like , oh , you should be so fucked up that you're not rational at all , and I feel like I know a lot of people say this . But I really do feel like sober me is in there and is like trying . It's like , oh yeah , sober me is thinking everything for me . It's just that drunk me is not performing what sober me is thinking the whole time .

Speaker 1

I got it like sober me was meant to say dude , I'm , I'm sorry , I you know , oh , my car I could clean it if you need me to , but drunk me was like yeah , you also could not have claimed that .

Speaker 2

if you wanted to , you could have tried .

Speaker 3

You would have just face planted into it . I could have tried Probably . High key , high key , he says .

Speaker 1

And really , now that I'm thinking about it , I was really just at the Taco Bell charging up the bomb .

Speaker 2

Dude , I don't think I ate anything that day we were going 60 down the highway and he tried to stick his head out the window , but he was too drunk to stick his head out the window . Oh so we were going .

Speaker 1

Yeah , we were going like 60 miles an hour the windows are rolled down .

Speaker 2

He tries to stick his head out , but he basically like he got his forehead to touch the window . Oh no . And then he proceeded to throw up about a quarter of it outside of the car and the other three quarters of it sprayed all over the car .

Speaker 1

While the wind was nice and flopping it around .

Speaker 2

It was really bad , poor Jimmy's car .

Speaker 3

Oh my god .

Speaker 1

I still have his hoodie , by the way .

Speaker 2

At the wedding I was freezing and Jimmy offered me his hoodie . By the way , at the wedding I was freezing and Jimmy offered me his hoodie and I was like , yeah , I'll fucking take your hoodie , dude . And then I just never saw him again at the wedding , so I just had his hoodie . And then TJ was like you should just take it with you , and I was like I feel so bad actually stealing his hoodie , so now TJ just has it .

Speaker 1

Oh , shit yeah , he's probably not going to get it back until we hang out next so and he reminds me . If he doesn't remind me , it's never coming back .

Speaker 3

Nobody , I think we all believe we'd all understand that no , nothing would be open on purge night , right , however ?

Speaker 2

I don't know how corporate greed crazy purge sales .

Speaker 3

Would taco bell be ?

Speaker 1

on purge night you know how .

Speaker 2

There's those companies that that are open on like thanksgiving and like or like they're open as close to christmas as they can get , and you're like , wow , you're really shitty to your employees for that .

Speaker 1

Yep , there's got to be someone on purge night who's like no , I don't care that it's purge night .

Speaker 2

You are scheduled from from 7 pm you're working I don't know what to tell you .

Speaker 3

Oh , who was this ? You're right on target . You're right on target .

Speaker 1

It'll be a steal , big Daddy Mo says Denny's .

Speaker 2

Yes , look at Denny's . On Purge Night dude , denny's would be open because they honestly wouldn't even realize that it was Purge Night . No , it's just Denny's .

Speaker 1

And they wouldn't even . Would it be like it's just Denny's ? Yeah would it be like the watering hole who , the who the fuck thinks of a Denny's ?

Speaker 3

okay , we're gonna take a break at Denny's ciao , don't no , uh no , unaliving in Denny's no but .

Speaker 2

But it would be like even if someone did get shot in Denny's , it'd be like still . Denny's okay , okay , josh brings . That is just straight up like .

Speaker 1

I feel like people would stay away , that's actually worse than the Purge .

Speaker 3

Nerdy Vet says Waffle House would be calm for once . Well , because all the people who would normally be fighting in Waffle House are outside Psychopaths , that's the strategy .

Speaker 2

So that's where we go .

Speaker 3

That's where we go .

Speaker 2

We go to .

Speaker 1

Waffle House .

Speaker 3

Well .

Speaker 1

Try our Purge pancakes .

Speaker 3

What else Hold on I pancakes ? What else hold on I had . I had something else about this movie . Oh , oh , the um , the guys , I , I . I beg your pardon for saying it like this , but they gave me some like severe black panther vibes and yeah those fucking dudes rolled up hard .

Speaker 3

Yeah , they did , and I I , I did actually like that girl . That was the one time that I liked callie and she was like I know you , you're , and she like describes everything that he says and he goes nice to meet you too can I ?

Speaker 2

okay , that's so funny . I feel like we're so opposite on this movie . I hated the writing for the , for the rebellion leader or whatever his name was , because he was like I . I maybe it was the actor , but I don't know . The vibe that he gave was like it gave more neurotic than a leader , you know , and but in a way that I'm like I feel like yeah , but in a way that I'm like how is anybody following you ? Like you don't seem , like you don't give me a vibe .

Speaker 1

I think they switched to the other guy .

Speaker 2

Oh , okay , well , that would make sense , Cause I'm like you don't give me a vibe that people would follow you , Like you give me a vibe that you could maybe rile people up , but I don't know about follow you into combat that . Just the vibe he was giving was a little too happy and bubbly . You know I didn was giving was a little too happy and bubbly . You know I I didn't love his writing and I can't tell if it was the actor .

Speaker 2

just the way that he played him , or if it was the oh my god , we're rebels it kind of was like like I did not get that the way , the way he , when he first walks in and he , he like shoots up in the sky , and it was very like game like video game-esque where he like shoots up in the sky . It was very like game like video game-esque where he like shoots up in the sky and he's like all you rich motherfuckers are gonna pay . And then he like looks down , looks over at them and the way that he kind of just started waddling over to them was like what the fuck ?

Speaker 1

looks over line . I don't know .

Speaker 2

He did not give me his character . Didn't scream authority and confidence , it didn't scream that to me . It screamed like his vibe

The Dark Side of the Purge

Speaker 2

gave me like kind of whimsical , like kind of like I don't know now . It shocked me that I , that people , were following him into battle wait , guys , watch this , watch this , watch this my wife couldn't open this .

Speaker 1

This is my moment . Oh yeah , it was a true man moment right there , let's go . Real man moment .

Speaker 3

This is a good one Real man moment is when you get into a fight with her next time and you tighten every lid extra hard . Oh yeah , I'll put a fucking lock tight on them , bitches .

Speaker 2

So so you tighten every lid extra hard . You take the batteries out of all the remotes and then you turn off the water on all the toilets and all the sinks .

Speaker 1

She has to talk to me eventually .

Speaker 2

And you reset all the outlets so that you have to click the test or whatever it is on it .

Speaker 1

Yes , and and wait , wait , wait . You turn the AC on to so cold that she needs to clean , and then you go flip a random breaker and then you just wait . And you wait until Because she's not going to want to talk to you .

Speaker 2

She had to talk to me eventually , but she's going to have to because she can't flush the toilet and she can't figure out why I don't do any of these things .

Speaker 2

I've never done them , but man , it sounds funny as hell to do . I'm just Because I've . Okay , the reason I say that is because I've seen those girls who are like . My boyfriend pissed me off , so I went and untuned all of his guitars and changed all of his settings on his pedal boards and I'm like at that point , bitch game on , I'm going to fuck your world up if you do that to me .

Speaker 1

I threw all of his picks inside his acoustic guitar . Oh , that's mean Absolutely .

Speaker 2

If you reset my tones and I have to redo them , fuck you . I'm turning off the water on everything . I will make it so that you have to talk to me .

Speaker 1

Eric , you're in the tuning for the fucking song from the wedding .

Speaker 2

Oh , yeah , yeah , the bug collector .

Speaker 1

Comes and changes it . That's such an annoying thing . It's so annoying .

Speaker 3

You guys know the saying it is it's from Shakespeare . No , I do not bite my thumb at you , but I do bite my thumb sir , you know that saying yeah .

Speaker 3

So there's a guy sitting on his ride-along mower and his wife comes up and was like do you turn off the hot water heater when you're mad at me ? And he starts laughing and he says I have turned off the hot water heater , but not because I'm mad at you . She's like I heard you do , do you do that ? And he just says I do bite my thumb , sir . And she was like what does that mean ?

Speaker 3

he was like shakespeare I do buy my thumb , sir , but I do not buy my thumb she started out , the whole thing was uh , I know , I don't have to worry about you cheating on me . And then she goes into this and at the end she was like , oh my god , I just wish you would cheat on me , it'd be easier I could just be bad at you valid , all right .

Yeah , I don't know , I have two jobs going on right now , Three different jobs going on right now , three different jobs going on right now .

Speaker 3

So yeah , I think I need to wait for one of them to end , before I get back into that . I got something for you , TJ what is the most complicated , fast-paced game that you guys play .

Speaker 2

Yeah , the controls are difficult , Night Rain maybe .

Speaker 1

I mean rain maybe . I mean like , yeah , it's the most unforgiving .

Speaker 2

So yeah , put me in coach you want to play elder night ring ?

Speaker 3

we could play three player I was just gonna say I'll fuck up all your stats oh well , it's not really stats like that on that game .

Speaker 2

It's not . Um , no , not a lot of games hold on to stats the way that call of duty used to like with your kd and stuff I like not a lot of games ?

Speaker 3

well , no , because I think like elden ring like I sell all your best armor duty .

Speaker 1

I would be so obsessed with my kd I would always .

Speaker 2

I had the 1.56 kd pretty steady , but I was in crazy lobbies dude when I got to just one dude .

Speaker 1

I was like yes modern , modern Warfare 2 .

Speaker 3

Loved that one . I think that was the one I'm trying to remember . No , it was Modern Warfare .

Speaker 2

Yeah , Call of Duty 4 , Modern Warfare .

Speaker 3

Modern Warfare .

Speaker 2

I held easily Where'd the numbers go .

Speaker 3

I held easily a 2 plus KD Modern Warfare 2 , I was like a .5 .

Speaker 2

So between Call of Duty , modern Warfare and Modern Warfare 2 , the style , the way that you play , drastically changed . It did . It became a lot more fast-paced .

Speaker 1

Yep .

Speaker 2

And nowadays that's slow as hell .

Speaker 3

Yeah .

Speaker 2

It's so slow , but at that time that was very fast-paced .

Speaker 3

Now I also sucked , but I did find it kind of fun . Was Black Ops , was that the one with the Ecto suits ?

Speaker 2

Oh , Black Ops 3 . I was a fucking beast at Black Ops 3 .

Speaker 3

I never got used to it . Advanced Warfare , that's the one I was thinking of .

Speaker 2

I never got used to that Jumping all over the ground I could not control those jumpsuits that introduced it the way they did the exosuits and that one were like some people really like it , but the main feature of it was that you could jump up and then you , there was a button you could press where you would just shoot down yeah , and you could . You could kill people , yeah , by landing on top of them yeah I , I never got used to it , I was good at that game .

Speaker 2

don't get me wrong , I I'm . I'm pretty good , then , seriously not to like toot my own horn , but I'm pretty good , seriously , not to toot my own horn , but I'm pretty good at most video games , especially shooters . I was pretty good at that Call of Duty , not my favorite . I really hated the exosuits .

Speaker 3

And my personal take on it was they tried and failed miserably to copy Halo , the exosuit , exclusively how you moved the jumping around , because all of that Master Chief would do all of that . You'd be able to jump high and far and all that stuff , and it was like I could never control it . The same .

Speaker 2

See , I didn't like the exosuits of Advanced Warfare , but as soon as we got to Black Ops 3 , now I think Black Ops 3 had some of the most fun movement . Now , some people Black Ops 3 was very hit or miss , like you either loved it or you hated it , I liked it and I thought it was awesome , no .

Speaker 1

I liked it . There was like it all depended on , like the maps and shit too Good maps . Because with the extra movement you got to add extra like shit to do , like there's this one map .

Speaker 3

You could just circle the entire map on the fucking edge of it , just fucking parkouring wall and shit . And I will say , though , nothing captured my attention like world at war , nazi zombies , daryse expansion pack yeah , I I mean that was .

Speaker 2

I mean simpler times , I could play that for simpler times , when you could release a map that is really not that big nope and there's nothing to do in it besides just survive . Nowadays you can't release that like that's like I get it that's like an indie game . You know that's some random developer by himself in his room who makes that and it was back then no but that .

Speaker 2

No , that was a triple , a company with dozens of employees working on this one part of this map , that we're putting this map together . It was just at the time . Times were so much simpler , like what would entertain you was a lot simpler versus nowadays . You have to have a full Easter egg with hidden parts to it , missions available , you need the wonder weapons that are part of the Easter egg , and there's so much that goes into it now .

Speaker 3

I remember you trying to teach me on is it the moon ?

Speaker 2

I think it was the moon I sucked at the moon always you were trying to teach me how to do the easter eggs I didn't even know how to do the easter egg on the moon oh , maybe it wasn't the moon .

Speaker 3

What was the one ? I thought it was the moon because it had the rocket that launched oh , no , no , uh , derisandrock , that was uh . Black ops 3 okay , I know Now that one .

Speaker 2

I see , I think Black Ops 3 was the last time that zombie Easter eggs were just challenging enough . Like they are not super easy . It's very much a challenge to do it on your own . It's still a challenge to do it with four people , but it's not like some like it's not like the moon Easter egg , where I feel like the moon Easter egg is just kind of ridiculous or like what was that one map ? Was it Revelations at the very end of Black Ops 3 ? There's this one .

Speaker 2

Easter egg step where you're basically like in this cosmic , like the time the worlds are like colliding and breaking . So you're like staring off into space where there's a whole bunch of fragments of asteroids and the earth that you're standing on and all over the place . So you're just looking up at like this kind of cosmic view . And there's this Easter egg step where you have to shoot the wonder weapon at this fucking a pin , a fucking pin dot , in the middle of all this chaos . It's literally , it's the worst . Where's Waldo ? And there is no reason why it is this one little specific spot that you have to shoot . And it's one of those easter egg steps that you're like how did anybody ever find this like ?

Speaker 1

people , uh , people comb the game files and shit to find their reason their reason .

Speaker 3

Drock , der eisenbrock , der eisenbrock , the dragon . Was that the one that , uh , you could turn off gravity in the room ?

Speaker 2

yeah , in the in the room with the pyramid , which the pyramid is from the moon ? Oh it is , yeah , it's . I don't know if it's the exact same one , but it is the same thing where it releases the gravity oh yeah , josh , you're right .

Speaker 3

If you don't , if you don't try to take your warthog with you everywhere you go , you weren't playing the game right as halo yeah , yeah always everybody did that but yeah , I , I don't know .

Speaker 2

I I think black ops 3 part of what made black ops 3 so great , besides the zombies , which I think the zombies was incredible . Shadows of evil is one of my favorite maps , but um , the multiplayer . I think one thing that made it so fun is that the map design of that game was so intentional and so good . Yeah , where I think it was todd howard , oh no , it's not . How did zombies ?

Speaker 2

But one of the , the treyarch devs who handled the map design , was like I essentially want every map to have three lanes . I want the center to obviously be like the main focal point , but I want both side lanes of every map to be different . I want them to have either one side to have like complete parkour and like , uh , like over a cliff area and then the other side to be like an underwater area that you go through , and so it was like I want the map to be very diverse , to specifically have three lanes in every map and only a couple ways to to go between those lanes . So the maps weren't just psychotic and crazy , they were intentional and they were fun to play on .

Speaker 1

Yeah , they also ended up getting really like they ran with the idea , got really lazy with it , where they just started pumping out really garbage fucking maps that oh , it has three lanes , but it's literally just like a border checkpoint with a bunch of explosive cars everywhere . So you could just really just spam grenades and it'd probably blow up a car next to somebody that was in what Modern Warfare 2 ?

Speaker 2

Yeah .

Speaker 1

The new one .

Speaker 2

The original maps on Black Ops 3 , I think were some of the best we've ever had from a Call of Duty . Yeah .

Speaker 1

I think Black Ops 2 also had like some frill black ops 2 had yacht right .

Speaker 3

Another wys gaming question . Yeah , dude , that's like it's a little bit of a crazy map , but it's so much fun so another , another , uh wys gaming question what is the game that you guys have played or that you know of that has the best jump scares ?

Speaker 2

Like no matter how many times you play it , you will still jump . Well , I think , an easy answer is Five Nights at . Freddy's just because it's kind of like it doesn't really get me anymore .

Speaker 1

I think Dead Space .

Speaker 3

Dead Space . I've heard of Dead Space the natural ambient creepiness of it .

Speaker 2

Dead Space never really bothered me , but I played it as an adult . No , is bioshock way before your time ? No , I've beaten bioshock bioshock creeps me the fuck out because

Gaming Talk and Series Discussion

Speaker 2

it's underwater bioshock is I , so I remember the first time I ever played bioshock I had saved up a whole bunch of coins from walking around grandma and grandpa's place and and finding coins that people were leaving around .

Speaker 2

I saved like 30 dollars in wow and I'm I am not 100 sure if grandpa was intentionally just leaving coins around for me untaxed untaxed 30 dollars yo irs get this 30 bucks is safe ?

Speaker 2

um , yeah , they can't touch me on that gift uh we went to blockbuster and I bought bioshock out of , uh , one of the discount bins . I put that bitch in and I got to the very beginning where you go up that elevator and then that slicer or splicer or whatever it is rips up your area and then runs away . And I never got past that , for I legitimately I froze . I was like this is way too scary and did not play that for years . Um , but I recently went back and beat it .

Speaker 3

Yeah , it's creepy still now it is the , the opening , um , I'm trying the opening of bioshock outlast is terrifying oh , the last of us two .

Speaker 1

There are moments where so there's there's the different types of zombies in it , there's the runners . The next step from that is stalkers . Stalkers are the most terrifying fucking thing because they are dead silent and they just fucking crawl around you everywhere and , dude , you'll just like randomly , like you'll be in this like sewer or like this abandoned building , and then you'll like look down a hallway , motherfucker , just be peeking at you like this and then run away , fuck off .

Speaker 3

That shit's scary . Have you ever heard of , because you guys both played Bioshock . You ever heard of the phenomenon ? They call it soundtrack dissonance ?

Speaker 2

No .

Speaker 3

It's usually where they play a clashing soundtrack to the video that you're watching .

Speaker 2

Oh , yeah , yeah , yeah . Oh like you're watching a horrifying gruesome scene , but it's like one of those oldie happy songs playing in the background . Yes , and .

Speaker 3

Bioshock , that's what really messed with me the most was , it was uh beyond the sea playing as your plane crashes and you swim to the lighthouse and then you find that it's , it's the uh , what did they call it ? The rapture yeah and you go down . Yeah , and it's like when it opens up and the lights are flickering beyond this and then it made it even more creepy as you get out of the elevator . The music is fading as you're walking away from it . It was like that . Stayed with me .

Speaker 2

Yeah , ocean shit really freaks me the fuck out Like Bioshock in general .

Speaker 1

Nemo used to freak me the fuck out at that one part , the deep also , but also when bro's just looking for Nemo and he goes above the water and I'm like there's nothing around him .

Speaker 2

That shit freaks me the fuck out looking for nemo and he like goes above the water and I'm like there's nothing around him , that shit . I think bioshock , even to this day , holds up very well and I think it is a great example if not one of the best examples of atmosphere . It just it sets up such a creepy atmosphere and it holds on to it the whole time . You never get used to it . You do , but it's always creepy and unsettling , no matter what . It's such a great atmosphere for a horror game .

Speaker 3

Memory .

Speaker 2

Oh .

Speaker 1

PT's terrifying .

Speaker 2

The demo for the Silent Hill game . That never came out because fucking companies don't want movies . That was terrifying .

Speaker 3

Was it Bioshock , dude ? Where the host , the girl convinces you to go into the room . It was like , oh , we just need to take your blood .

Speaker 2

Yeah , the little sister and the big daddy .

Speaker 3

You escape out of it and then all of a sudden , the needles from everywhere just converge and you would have died if you stayed in there .

Speaker 2

It was like I told you to stay in there . Was that bioshock ? That might have been one of the other ones it's not the first one , but that could have been like the second or all of those , did a good job of creeping me the f out .

Speaker 3

I mean , I was never scared of any of the nazi zombies I was . I love watching you guys play a mortuary assistant . I can't say that it's ever scared me .

Speaker 2

Did you ever see ? You know ?

Speaker 3

which one scared me that you guys played Not scared , but made me jump was A Quiet Place .

Speaker 2

Oh yeah , that one's a little scary when those little motherfuckers come out .

Speaker 3

Those big-ass motherfuckers come out .

Speaker 1

We gotta keep playing that . We did not get far at all .

Speaker 3

All of a sudden , just like come out of nowhere and they're like clearly they get much closer to you in the game than you ever saw in the movie .

Speaker 2

Well , you know what's kind of funny about that TJ ? I've yet to see any video on Instagram or TikTok of that game . That's gotten further than we got , which kind of gives me a vibe that everybody pretty much got about .

Speaker 3

As far as I got , it was like all right , I've had enough , I'm over it uh , mid , I don't know , because that's kind of where I got .

Speaker 2

Where I got about half , like I think we're maybe like a quarter through the game and I was like , all right , I've got my fill of this . It doesn't seem like anything is changing . It's like the same thing where I'm just sneaking past another death angel .

Speaker 3

Yeah , okay .

Speaker 2

And it's like the situation is slightly different . Now there's a new soundtrack , but it's like it's the same thing . Yeah , it's not much different , which to their defense . There's only so much you could really do with things that hear you from anywhere .

Speaker 1

Yeah , only so much you could really do with things that hear you from anywhere .

Speaker 3

Yeah , only so much you could do . But all right , sorry to hijack that , but but yeah , um 20 , that could be after hours . Uh , you could post that on some on your wys gaming . Cut it up and .

Speaker 2

We could , we could , I would need to do that . So who won ?

Speaker 1

Well , yeah , thank you . Thank you all for listening . This has been .

Speaker 3

Police Rap .

Speaker 1

Personally , in my opinion , and this is you know , take this however you want , but Alex is just a hater . You know , just the whole episode has been a hater and I just I haven't . You know , I've given out a couple points and I've definitely taken some away and it was close but not at all close .

Speaker 2

Eric is the winner of this episode of will you survive the podcast I ?

Speaker 1

wasn't expecting that I really you were going to bait me that whole time . I found myself agreeing more with Eric the whole episode .

Speaker 3

So I feel like he deserved the win . You rigged bitches .

Speaker 1

Yeah , and we're not going to do a winner's speech because it is already 20 minutes after we read the fucking solstice . I'm happy to win , thank you so much .

Speaker 3

What's the next movie ?

Speaker 2

I want to thank the Academy . I think we're kind of on a spree . We might as well just do Election Day , I think at least we could do the third one .

Speaker 1

You heard it here first , guys .

Speaker 2

We could really decide if we wanted to do the fourth and fifth one , but I think three is good , I feel like we could bring it back for like a season from now yeah , maybe , yeah two we could do like the series that there is , you know um also what episode this is gonna be 22 , so we're coming up .

Speaker 1

We could wrap up the season at any point we're coming up on the end of the season , so we got to figure out which episode is going to be our tier list . I feel like we did a lot of not movies .

Speaker 2

This season , fuck it . Maybe we add those in .

Speaker 1

Yeah , maybe we just add those in . But yeah , thank you all for listening . My name is TJ , that's .

Speaker 2

Alex .
