Live In-Person And A Surprise Guest

Captain 0:14

How's it going?

Wilson 0:15

It's going pretty well. We're uh we're here in person.

Captain 0:18

Oh wow, we are here in person. Who knew?

Wilson 0:21

I can see you from across the table.

Captain 0:23

I see we have some intro things here, but I feel like these intro things might want to be discussed with all of the attendees.

Wilson 0:30

All of the oh, so do we have special guests for the curve?

Captain 0:33

I mean, and I mean we could have them sit. Or we could reveal the curtain.

Wilson 0:39

Pop them in curtain number one.

Jay 0:43

This curtain is kind of hard to move. Alright, I'm out of the curtain now.

Captain 0:47

Oh, you got stuck in there? Yeah, I got stuck in there.

Jay 0:49

It's me.

Captain 0:52

Yes.

Jay 0:52

It's me, Jay.

Wilson 0:54

Um mystery voice, you just don't say the entire time.

Jay 0:58

Disembodied voice just floating along.

Captain 1:02

Okay. Um, well,

Welcome To Derry Deep Dive

Captain 1:05

Wilson, did you want to um I see you put some stuff in here?

Wilson 1:08

Uh yeah. I mean, I know um did we talk about it last time? I feel like we forgot maybe Welcome to Dairy.

Captain 1:16

Yeah, it's really good.

Wilson 1:17

It's it's wonderful.

Captain 1:19

Um it's really they're really getting into it with the clown, and I love that.

Wilson 1:23

Yeah. I was like, I wasn't sure how long it would take to get Bill Skarsgard to actually show up.

Captain 1:28

Okay, that is Bill though.

Wilson 1:30

Yeah. Okay, I would. And he's also he is an executive producer on the show. Like he's been in the credits as like executive producer. Uh but yeah. His reveal what do you think of his reveal? Like that episode.

Captain 1:43

The very the one in the graveyard, or you mean like actually saw like Pennywise. Oh, it's scripy. He's his like um Jaguar or cougar running that he's doing towards the kids.

Wilson 1:56

Did you believe that like that kid was really alive?

Captain 2:00

I thought it really was him, but as as he goes down there and he's acting really weird, yeah. I think he I I guess I wasn't expecting him to turn because I don't know, I just wasn't expecting it, but it was really good reveal.

Jay 2:12

I I did think it was suspicious that he was trying to get them all to the ball.

Captain 2:15

Yeah, but he was so rel no, he was so reluctant to go down.

Jay 2:18

Yeah, but like I felt like you know, it seemed very, very for me if that was the conclusion that was reached by the group. I was like, oh, that's not good. So I mean they blamed that.

Wilson 2:27

Well, you're smarter than me because I did not see that coming. I mean, like the in the 30 seconds leading up to the reveal, I was like, okay. But yeah, the the whole earlier part of the episode, I I would I did not see that coming.

Jay 2:40

Yeah. The um it's it's a good show. The uh the reveal for Pennywise is good too.

Captain 2:45

Yeah, uh my favorite part, I think, uh it might be that. I st I still really like that scene in the beginning of them in the movie theater and everything goes to chaos. Oh, yeah.

Jay 2:55

I still wish I didn't see a spoiler on that. Oh, I had no idea what was coming. So that was really shocking. Uh that that first that was the first episode, right? Yeah. Yeah, that was shocking. I was like, wait, what? Yeah. So yeah, they did a good job with that. I um the special effects are crazy.

Captain 3:14

Oh, yeah. I wonder how expensive that show is.

Jay 3:17

Oh, those kid actors are probably pretty cheap. Well, yeah, they well, they make up for it with all of the like every episode there's some show.

Captain 3:24

Is anybody in that show famous besides Bill Skarsgard? Skarskard.

Wilson 3:27

Who was the um the dad, I think. Uh the major? I think he's he's in things, but not like A-list.

Captain 3:34

Oh, wait, Dexter's dad's in there.

Wilson 3:36

Oh, yeah, James from R. Yeah, but he's not.

Captain 3:39

His name's James? I had no idea.

Jay 3:42

You didn't know his name?

Captain 3:43

No, he's Dexter's dad. He loves Dexter's Daniel. He's Dexter's dad. Okay.

Jay 3:47

Jimmy. It's weird to hear him speak and not hear the sentence in with Dexter's.

Captain 3:51

I know. I I yeah, we say that when we watch it. It's like, where's like a I'm disappointed, Dexter?

Wilson 3:57

Yeah, I'm expecting like a lecturing tone. Yeah.

Captain 4:01

And he's kind of like a little sussy, a little, you know, sneaky here and there.

Wilson 4:04

Yeah. Yeah.

Captain 4:06

Um, I really do like the show. It's pretty good.

Wilson 4:08

And the characters are all pretty good. No, they're pretty good, yeah.

Captain 4:11

Yeah. Yeah, I'm not mad at any of them. Like, you know, like takes me out of the show, it's so bad.

Jay 4:18

So they also set up stuff from like Doctor Sleep, which I was like, made me want to rewatch that movie because I love that movie.

Captain 4:26

Top four.

Jay 4:27

Uh no, it's a good movie, but I just I don't know why I didn't see that coming. It's obvious when they reveal it, but it's like, oh, I s I didn't I I didn't even think about that.

Wilson 4:37

I wonder how confusing that was for people that like either didn't read the book or didn't see the movie of like what's so special about this box that Pennywise like wants to open.

Jay 4:46

Yes, I could see that for sure.

Captain 4:47

I mean, but he does explain it in the next episode, but still, like I like the um the Pennywise history that they give us.

Wilson 4:53

Yes, that's and the 13 columns and stuff. I think that's like one of my favorite parts about this show is that they're giving us like the lore behind Pennywise.

Captain 5:01

Did you read that book and it says does that say that stuff in there or no?

Wilson 5:04

Um no, like I did read the book and it touches on each of the time periods. Like I know what's basically gonna happen for the most part in the next episode, but you don't like they're they're adding more to the story that's not covered in the world.

Captain 5:17

They don't talk about the 13 columns and the security of the forest and all that stuff.

Wilson 5:21

I don't think there was anything about like breaking off a piece of the thing.

Captain 5:25

I I like I like that they're adding that then. It's nice to get that background, and I'm not mad about how they do it, so.

Jay 5:32

Um, what did you think of the reveal that the woman's been in on it the whole time? Ooh, uh Bob Gray's. I didn't do that at all. I was just I thought she was a random psychologist.

Captain 5:44

Oh, that's right. Yeah, that's kinda random.

Jay 5:47

Yeah, it it really was, but I wasn't I I didn't hate the twist. I I thought um because it's not she's not in a no-one, you know, she's she's related to that she's in a romantic relationship with one of the act the characters that is like being hunted.

Captain 6:01

Yeah, but like I still don't understand. So like she loves the clown.

Wilson 6:06

Like, what's the I think the idea is that Pennywise, like, her dad was Pennywise the clown, right? But it like I guess killed him or whatever, took over that persona and it's a good one.

Captain 6:17

Yeah, and she just misses psychotically thinks it's her dad or misses him. Okay.

Wilson 6:22

That was a fun scene too, where she like called him papa or whatever, and Pennywise was like, uh but I did see, I don't know if you saw this online, and I didn't make this connection, but the internet of course did that her character is the old lady in at chapter two that Beverly goes to visit. Oh but it's really Pennywise and in like a suit or whatever.

Jay 6:45

Oh, yeah. Do you remember that? It's Mrs. Kirsch.

Wilson 6:48

Yeah. Whoa.

Jay 6:49

Whoa. So does she well, I guess we'll find out what happens to her in this series, but I guess she makes it out if she's at least impersonated in it chapter two. Yeah. Maybe not. Yeah, we'll see what happens. I don't know.

Captain 7:04

Yeah, no, really good show. Uh I is do we have what two or three episodes left or something?

Wilson 7:09

I I feel like there's like eight and what was that, episode six that just aired last year?

Captain 7:13

Yeah, that sounds right. Yeah, yeah.

Jay 7:14

Yeah, there's like one or two left, I think. Okay.

Wilson 7:16

I mean, it is getting to like it does feel like we're getting very close to like a climate dick. So I don't know if they've announced it yet or not, or if we know, but like any future seasons. Like, are they gonna skip to different like another 20 seconds or because like I don't it wouldn't make sense, I guess, if they stuck with these kids.

Captain 7:37

Uh-uh.

Wilson 7:38

It wouldn't, yeah.

Jay 7:39

Well, I mean, it could be follow so like the first episode kind of follows the same formula that they were it movie does where like you have a character whose POV you're following, and then at the end of their little c story arc they die. They do that in the first episode, so I wonder if they'll do something similar with the season, whereas the second season is like the kid's just older and they're return to dairy.

Captain 8:01

The plan, this is the plan. Okay, and it hasn't been officially renewed yet, but the first season is supposed to be covering Pennywise's era in 1962. The second season's gonna go even further back, 1935. Oh the third season's gonna go even further back, 1908.

Wilson 8:15

Okay. Oh wow.

Captain 8:16

Yeah, so actually that is the initial plan was three seasons where they keep going back every 27 years. Because we've already seen forward with the movies.

Jay 8:23

A bit of uh Fear Street vibe, right? Because of Fear Street. Oh, I love that.

Captain 8:28

That's true.

Jay 8:29

That was a really good point.

Captain 8:32

They haven't officially done a season two renewal.

Wilson 8:34

I feel like they're gonna, I mean, I guess we'll see how the penale goes, but um what's the viewership like uh I mean I feel like it's good. They um they tease it in the theme song, but there is uh in the past, it's covered in the book, but I I'm really excited to if they cover it. But in the theme song, you see like an exploding factory.

Captain 8:54

The new song is so creepy. It's so creepy.

Wilson 8:57

I'm I hope it gets renewed because I'd like to see I'll watch like as much as they put out.

Jay 9:02

Opening scenes from episode one of this TV show are like unhinged. It's like the kids getting picked up by the family, and they're just saying increasingly crazier and crazier things, and I'm like, what is happening? And like I was like, oh wow. So it really sets the the the stage for the rest of the show. Like, oh, this is what we're doing.

Captain 9:22

Oh, it's like okay, we're just starting at 100 off the off the premiere of it Welcome to Dairy on HBO attracted 5.7 million viewers across the platforms in the first three days. That made it the third highest premiere ever in the middle.

Jay 9:34

So it's getting renewed then 100%.

Captain 9:36

Should, yeah. I mean it's around an 80% on Mountain Tanas right now.

Wilson 9:41

That's pretty good. The only question is now with this Netflix merger, like now. Oh my god.

Captain 9:46

Fuck some stuff up. Dumpster fire. Yeah.

Jay 9:50

We'll see. I mean. What a time. I saw Paramount might be putting in a rival bid that they said is technically supposed to be higher, so I don't know.

Captain 9:58

Is that better?

Jay 9:59

Probably not. You can't basically if any of these if the if any of these mergers happen, you're gonna end up with like only three streaming companies, really. Yeah.

Captain 10:06

Like Apple TV, Disney, and then they're all gonna eventually combine together and it'll be c it'll be uh uh everything's just Disney Plus. It'll be um cable again. Yeah, it'll just be another Disney Flicks, yeah. Just one one streaming and it's c and it's essentially cable at the time.

Jay 10:23

Yeah, but the difference here is that they own the movie studios, so yeah, that's right. It's not just TV studios, like and they've already just showed a disposition towards not liking releasing things in theaters, so it's like oh.

Wilson 10:36

Yeah, so that's why like I have if it's if a company's gonna buy

Lore, Links To Doctor Sleep, And Season Hopes

Wilson 10:40

it, I just like can we not do Netflix? Yeah, just yeah.

Captain 10:44

Speaking of Hollywood, sorry. We went to Steel Citicon today.

Wilson 10:49

Oh yeah, it was very fun. You got you got a pretty cool picture. I met a pretty cool person.

Captain 10:55

Yeah, I met the sir.

Wilson 10:59

I don't think he's not knighted, yeah.

Captain 11:02

In my head he is. Um Robert Patrick, so d aka Agent Dogget from X-Files.

Jay 11:09

And Terminator 2. Yeah.

Captain 11:11

Okay. And Peacemaker.

Jay 11:12

Yeah, I think he's the blue dragon in Peacemaker or the white dragon.

Captain 11:15

And he's in Sopranos, right?

Jay 11:17

Yeah, he's in a few episodes of Sopranos.

Captain 11:19

Um, but yeah, I mean, he's I mean, he's Agent Dogget. But oh my gosh, it was really nice meeting him. And I wore my X-Files shirt and I had my alien uh abduction earrings on.

Wilson 11:28

Yeah, he said he called you to like, oh, you're an X-Files girl.

Captain 11:31

No, no, he said you're the X-Files girl.

Jay 11:33

Oh, the X-File. Okay.

Captain 11:35

You're the X-Files girl.

Jay 11:36

I guess he expects one or two per like con he goes to.

Wilson 11:39

You but how I don't understand.

Captain 11:41

One or two.

Wilson 11:42

How will you be like the only like there have to be other X-Files people?

Jay 11:45

I didn't see any other people with X-Files stuff on their line.

Captain 11:49

Which is crazy.

Wilson 11:49

It is crazy.

Captain 11:50

It's like the best show ever.

Jay 11:53

I mean pick back up when it gets reboot. Potentially.

Captain 11:57

Oh, it would be nice to see him in yeah, if if X-Files gets rebooted the way Ryan Kugler, right?

Jay 12:01

Yeah, Ryan Kugler's supposed to be.

Captain 12:02

Yeah, they probably would bring Scully or Dog it back or or even uh Reyes.

Jay 12:08

Probably anyone they can get.

Captain 12:09

Yeah, I don't think DeCovny would come.

Jay 12:11

Really? He's like dumb with X-Files entirely.

Captain 12:14

Um he's just um really about like self uh growth.

Wilson 12:21

I don't know. I kind of feel like if the pay is right and Jillian Anderson's like, come on, let's do it.

Captain 12:25

Yeah, but I don't think him and Julian Anderson are betty buddy buddy like that.

Jay 12:29

Who do who's who's who's uh does anyone know who's gonna be rebooting it, like the company? So I feel like if Apple TV cuts you a fat check, you are doing it.

Captain 12:36

This is very loose plans. They're very loose. So I I don't think there's full, you know.

Wilson 12:43

I think they've I think Gillian and David have like resolved their cookies though. Like Did you listen to that podcast?

Captain 12:49

No, I didn't. I I don't no no, I'm not saying that they hate each other. I'm just saying I don't think they're like chit-chat, you know, they're not on FaceTime. They're not like I don't think she'd be like, come on, man.

Wilson 12:58

Money money curses a lot of problems. Well, uh sorry, I mean like do you believe that like they had like they actually had a fling during the show? I don't think so. People really think they like with all the tension, there was like so much tension.

Captain 13:13

They there was a lot of sexual like they have connection or or chemistry, but I don't think so.

Wilson 13:18

How long did the show run? It was like ten seasons. They left well, he left after season seven or like during season seven, and then on Scully was like a guest star for a couple seasons.

Captain 13:30

There's that famous magazine cover that I think really um like fueled the flame. Do you know what I'm talking about?

Jay 13:37

I feel like it's hard to think that they at least in my mind, that long, I feel like on set, unless they really didn't like each other for most of it, then maybe not.

Captain 13:44

But if they this Rolling Stones cover, it's like famous and it like really fueled the flame. I think I think this is when X Files was huge.

Wilson 13:50

I think they had a raisin cover. You think they really have a c I think that I think they slept together at least once.

Captain 13:56

Oh my god, Wilson!

Jay 13:58

The thing in Hollywood, like how many couples do you know that like met on set and they play love interests or were like close characters in a show? Yeah, like Dexter um uh Dexter's wife. Oh yeah, Jennifer Carpenter, Deborah.

Captain 14:11

Yeah, but they actually got married.

Jay 14:13

I know, but I'm saying, like, do you think they got married before having sex? No.

Wilson 14:19

I think listen to that podcast episode. Okay, I have to listen to it. Tell me that like there's not like they don't they don't say anything that's but it's just like what I recall is if you kind of listen to what they're saying, it's like it kind of sounds like something maybe was there at one point.

Captain 14:37

I mean, they like kiss on the show.

Wilson 14:41

Yeah, but I'm thinking it like more than that happened.

Jay 14:45

Like Kiff Harrington and his love interest in Game of Thrones.

Captain 14:48

Okay, well, they're also married.

Jay 14:50

I know, but I'm saying that's like when you play a love interest in the show, it happens. Like, you gotta you go, you're around that person all the time, you pretend to love that person, now you're going on dates.

Wilson 15:01

I do know they did they like kind of hated each other for a while while they were filming the show.

Captain 15:06

It was post their fleeing, you're saying.

Wilson 15:09

Yeah, I mean, I guess.

Jay 15:10

That would also explain why they started to hate each other because that's what happened with Dexter and Dev and Deborah.

Captain 15:16

Oh, yeah, they got over it.

Wilson 15:18

Oh, wait, um, but or I'm misremembering it that they hated each other at first and then they became buddies.

Captain 15:24

I think they didn't like each other at first.

Wilson 15:25

But I mean, that still stands to reason like they hate each other. Yeah. They had a fling. Yeah. And they're like, alright, we're gonna bang it out. Yeah.

Captain 15:32

Bang it out. It's crazy. Um anyway, Agent Dog was really cool. Yeah. He called me the X-Files girl. He signed we took picties with him. And uh just stared from a distance. We took picties with him, and um I got him to sign a picture from X-Files, so it was really nice. I it was really cool. I know it's always kind of like, oh, is it worth paying for that? But it's like, wait, hold on. Like, this is one of my top favorite shows ever. Yeah. And this is probably gonna be like the most famous main character from that show I probably could meet in any of the estate.

Wilson 16:01

If Jillian Anderson was there, I'd be like, Yeah, I'm gonna pay this. Oh, yeah. Yeah, we're gonna pay shirt too. You're getting in here.

Captain 16:10

We're all in this picture. Yeah. But yeah, no, it was really nice. Still CityCon, it was fun. They still um Parker Posey still canceled.

Wilson 16:19

Yeah.

Jay 16:25

You will find you're gonna chase uh Parker Posey all over the country. Yeah. At our conference, I'll eventually see her. Yeah.

Captain 16:31

We um we did see um England. What's his first name?

Wilson 16:35

Robert England.

Captain 16:36

England oh, but it's like really you.

Wilson 16:39

England.

Captain 16:40

Yeah. So Freddie, no, not Freddie. Yeah. No, Freddie. Freddie Krueger.

Jay 16:45

Is he there's a line for him. Oh, yeah. Huge line for him.

Captain 16:49

We saw Shia LaBeouf from a distance. We saw Heather Langingkamp. Oh, yeah, Heather.

Streaming Mergers And Industry Worries

Wilson 16:55

Heather.

Captain 16:56

Um, and um Linda Hamilton from a distance.

Jay 17:01

Yeah, I was about to say they had a lot of the T2 people Lyndon Hamilton, Robert Patrick. Um Linda Hampton looks great.

Captain 17:06

Edward Cullen, no. Looks like a Edward Furlong.

Jay 17:11

Yeah, he was there. Yeah. Um at a T2 reunion. We saw Ron Pearlman and Katie Segal.

Captain 17:18

Dude, Ron Perlman is so funny. Yeah, Ron Pearlman is so funny. He's like a movie star in the yeah, he's like a real movie star. I was like kind of shocked to see him.

Wilson 17:28

Michael Bine was there. I think it's how you say his name. Uh but like you're now an 80s movies fan. Like, Michael Bind is what? Um, he was in Terminator. He was in The Abyss, Aliens.

Captain 17:40

Oh, but these are movies I already seen. Not like movies to add to my watch list that he's in.

Jay 17:46

Oh, no, but where you know why you know him from. No.

Captain 17:49

But I would recognize it. You know who that is.

Jay 17:55

He was in Poltergeist 7, remember that?

Wilson 17:57

I think when you see his face, you'll recognize him. I don't yeah, I didn't know his name, like his name doesn't bring anything to mind for me.

Jay 18:03

No. I mean, I just watched The Abyss kind of recently. Really good movie. Yeah. B-I-N-E or B-I-E-H-N. James Cameron did the Abyss. That sounds right. The ending of that movie is so strange. I mean, I like the movie. Yeah, it's also really long. It's insanely long. And like you think it's over about through two or three times, and it's not. And then the very end is like, you you should have ended this earlier because I didn't I don't I'm not sure about this ending. The very end of it.

Wilson 18:32

And also like wait, who are the people almost drowned in that movie? Multiple people almost drowned. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, we do. Maybe like no rats in that movie or something.

Captain 18:42

Actually, the rats were okay.

Wilson 18:44

Or they torture them or something.

Captain 18:45

No, everybody else. All the humans were tortured.

Jay 18:48

Male protagonist, I can't remember his name at the moment, refuses to even talk about the movie. Like he doesn't even want to talk about the movie. Oh, yeah, he won't answer questions. It's like PTSD. Yeah, Ed Norris reportedly almost drowned multiple times. James Cameron almost drowned.

Captain 19:05

Yeah, it was really good though. Okay, I have one last thing for the intro.

Wilson 19:09

It's a surprise because it's not even in the in the sheet.

Captain 19:11

Yes, I did get you a little Christmas present. It's very tiny, but I thought I thought Surprise on the podcast.

Wilson 19:19

Okay.

Captain 19:21

We saw this in the vineyard and thought that you would like this yoga. It's a zipper. Um so like it's a little bit more secure. And then inside there's some cat toys. Really? But you probably already have toys

Steel City Con Highlights

Captain 19:40

like these.

Wilson 19:41

Yeah, they're gonna they're gonna eat that shit up.

Captain 19:44

Ummediate interest. Thank you. Um yeah.

Wilson 19:52

You got a pocket on the inside too?

Captain 19:54

Yeah, but like the little yoga cats.

Wilson 19:57

Okay, okay. This is Martha's vineyard. Yes. You're saying the vineyard earlier? I was like, no one says. I don't know what vineyard they're talking about.

Jay 20:07

Nobody says that. That is way too vague.

Captain 20:10

Literally nobody says that.

Wilson 20:11

When did you go?

Jay 20:12

V vineyard.

Captain 20:14

I do say the vineyard. Should I say Martha's?

Wilson 20:17

Well, I mean it's your second time there now, so like you can say that. We're residents. Basically residents.

Jay 20:23

Like you need to go three. If you go three times, then you can affectionately. Oh, yeah.

Captain 20:28

You can be like, have you been to the blum blah blah? Like, you know, you can like it.

Wilson 20:31

And you can say, like, when we go to the vineyard, you know.

Captain 20:35

Our our bi-annual trips to the vineyard.

Jay 20:39

Um like bicentennial.

Captain 20:42

Well, we've been twice in the last like four years.

Wilson 20:44

The last time I think we thought about visiting it when we went to Provincetown, but then like I know what, you have to get a boat, and then you also mentioned how like ticks are everywhere. So I was like, maybe we don't need to ticks are much better this time.

Captain 20:57

Found no ticks this year.

Wilson 20:58

Yeah.

Captain 20:59

But supposedly the type of tick got way worse that it's the meat allergy tick now. Oh, perfect.

Jay 21:05

So if you get bit, meat's over for the rest of your life. For the rest of your life. Alright, well, uh Like no, like don't even like touch it.

Captain 21:12

No, like red meat is fairly allergic to you.

Wilson 21:14

Alright, well then I'll just you can just tell me about your trips to the vineyard and uh Yeah, I'm a vegan now.

Captain 21:21

Um but yeah, that was just a little, you know.

Jay 21:24

I think someone actually expired from that recently.

Captain 21:27

Expired?

Jay 21:28

They didn't know they got bit by it, and then we're gonna be able to do that. That's a nice way of saying died. Yeah.

Captain 21:32

I know, but I've never I ever heard you say that.

Jay 21:34

Sorry, they got unalived.

Captain 21:35

You're trying to not get us flagged on by the Yeah, we've never said died on this. The heart went on a horror movie podcast.

Jay 21:45

No, because they didn't know they got bit, and then they went to, you know, White Castle and ate a burger.

Wilson 21:49

So I didn't realize you actually like I just thought it was it tastes like dead, like you are allergic to red meat.

Captain 21:57

Yeah, usually highly reactive, yeah.

Wilson 21:59

But you're not reactive like to the own meat in your body.

Captain 22:02

No, and there's it's like something about the the protein in red meat or something that you become allergic to.

Wilson 22:08

Okay. Yeah, your body's protein.

Captain 22:11

In your own body, what?

Wilson 22:12

I don't know. You're just allergic. I mean, I I guess the body knows the difference. If you try to eat yourself, like like my arm, you know, would I just like die? Is that what you're saying?

Captain 22:25

Um, from bleeding out.

Jay 22:28

Before you bleed out, your your your throat would swallow up, yeah. Yeah, allergic reaction. Yeah, we know what we're talking about.

Captain 22:36

We're basically doctors.

Jay 22:39

You would leave quite the riddle for the uh autopsy people. They'd be like, uh, how did he die?

Wilson 22:46

That would be a good CSI episode. It really would. Oh my god. They're like all they have is like a bite on their arm. Yeah.

Captain 22:53

Oh, there's like this hint that it's zombies are happening.

Wilson 22:55

Well, there's just like, how did he die? Yeah. You know?

Captain 22:58

This is more like house.

Wilson 22:59

Yeah, that is a bit more.

Jay 23:03

Yeah, no.

Captain 23:04

It probably already has a meat tick episode, honestly.

Jay 23:06

House has a meat tick episode? Probably.

Captain 23:08

It's always weird.

Jay 23:10

A million years ago.

Captain 23:11

Yeah, but the whole thing is that this doctor always can tell it's this weird one in two million chance disease.

Jay 23:17

Were meat ticks like around whenever No, I don't think they were. Isn't that like a new thing?

Captain 23:22

No, they've been in Texas for a long time. They just made their way north recently.

Jay 23:25

Wait, meat love in Texas has meat ticks.

Captain 23:27

I'm pretty sure they're mostly from Texas. What? I've never heard of this. Oh my god.

Jay 23:33

In Texas? Deep dive into meat tick. Welcome to the meat tick podcast. We're your hosts.

Captain 23:43

I was thinking of Sandy and Sanjay. Because you're like in ticks? Oh, yeah.

Jay 23:50

Can I say ticks into Esther? Ruth caught off the rails. But it is, it is kind of a crazy. I I just I hadn't heard of it before, and I I heard recently someone did have it.

Captain 24:04

Oh, a nit okay. No, no, no, no. Um says originally in Athens, Georgia, but I'm pretty sure I'm pretty sure most of them are Tixis now. Aren't Tixis. Yeah, they don't call it Texas anymore. Tixis.

Wilson 24:19

You know, um, you put ticks or tick on the I think the podcast list, so this would be like a good like uh There's a movie about a tick?

Jay 24:29

Yeah, that's where I first learned to fear ticks. That is disgusting. I would never they get like huge and eat people. That is that's horrifying.

Captain 24:38

It's called the Lone Star Tick. That's like uh colloquially colloquially. Ugh. Uh anyway, um, yes. Why are we here? Oh, Marcus.

Wilson 24:52

Um, I think it was about David Ducovny and not like banging bag and the vineyard and okay.

Captain 24:59

Do we want to get in here? Yeah, let's get in. This is like not a bad movie. We're like chit-chatting, like it is a bad movie. But it's not.

Wilson 25:07

Spoiler.

Captain 25:08

Like we should get in here. Um, what are you drinking over there?

Wilson 25:12

Oh shit. Are you is that empty?

Captain 25:14

No, no, no.

Wilson 25:16

It's empty.

Captain 25:18

I don't know how to prove to you.

Wilson 25:19

Um, chug it. Just fill it on your laptop. Just yeah, yeah.

Captain 25:24

Um I have Blake's hard cider American berry, and it's um they like are really promoting that there's nothing in here except um apples, blueberries, and fermentation.

Jay 25:38

Uh can ferment. Uh and this was your second choice. Yeah, you're cheating on your blueberry boyfriend.

Captain 25:45

Well, he he's nowhere to be found. He was MIA. So, you know, I gotta get some somewhere.

Jay 25:51

No, everything you're like, oh, you try one check, I love this, and it just gets immediately gone.

Captain 25:57

Immediately gone forever.

Jay 25:58

Like four different immediately gone forever.

Captain 26:01

Yeah, I've gone to restaurants and been like, oh my god, that was such an amazing meal.

Jay 26:04

I'm so glad they have uh three days later.

Captain 26:06

Gone. Gone forever.

Jay 26:08

The meal or the restaurant?

Captain 26:10

That that whole meal, all the ingredients, they're like, they don't even know what I'm talking about. Yeah. Yeah.

Jay 26:16

It's kind of funny.

Captain 26:19

It's it's a curse. I hate it. So blueberry boyfriend is MIA. But you know, this is this is this is pretty good. It's uh blueberry settling. It's just called American berry. So, you know, they're really trying to take the the forefront of the of the blueberry uh market, you know what I mean? So but yeah, it's actually it's actually pretty good. I think blueberry boyfriend's a little bit better.

Jay 26:43

All right. Well, Jay, what are you uh I am drinking Helltown Brewery's uh Buffy beer. It's like a hazy IPA, very good, very strong. It's like 7% for hazy IPA. 7%? Yeah, it's pretty strong. But it's good. Very good, actually. I have um it's a very spooky brand.

Captain 27:03

This is 8%.

Jay 27:05

Okay.

Captain 27:12

I think no, I think Wilson will win. He's having a hard time.

Wilson 27:15

Oh, I'm having uh I'm having a Kona. Oh well, I did have one earlier.

Captain 27:18

I'm sorry. That's amazing. What happened to the I heard all the mixing.

Wilson 27:22

Yeah, what this? Yeah. I drank it. It's like a half an hour ago.

Captain 27:30

Wow, that was half an hour. Oh, we've been talking about half an hour.

Wilson 27:35

These are bottles. It's a Manhattan.

Captain 27:38

How is that Manhattan?

Wilson 27:39

Uh it's pretty good. I'm uh re very recently uh into Manhattan. So the day I decided I wanted to like have Manhattan's, like all that next weekend, like the next seven days. I like well, okay, not every single day of that week, but I had a Manhattan anytime we went somewhere to go out.

Captain 27:57

I was just like, even at the worst bars, I'll have that Manhattan-esque you can make it, please.

Jay 28:07

It takes a certain kind of bravery to order Manhattan at least.

Captain 28:11

The first time I ever had an espresso martini, I just ordered that straight for like, yeah, for like the week that we were.

Jay 28:17

We're just at a bar and I ordered a bunch of it.

Captain 28:19

Dude, a pumpkin

Drinks, Manhattans, And Seasonal Sips

Captain 28:20

spice espresso martini. Who is she? She's me. That was so good. Really good. I love that.

Jay 28:27

I hadn't seen that on a menu anywhere before.

Captain 28:29

Yeah, I love the fall Christmas, like, let's just anything squash.

Wilson 28:33

Throw it in there. Gourz. Gourz. Yeah.

Captain 28:37

Yeah. Captain likes some gourds.

Wilson 28:39

Would you drink like a gourd iced tea? Or like in a heartbeat.

Captain 28:44

We're gonna need to sell it a little bit better than that.

Jay 28:46

Mama needs her PSL. Do people eat gourds? Like, would you have like a day basically?

Captain 28:53

I have pumpkins, yes, I guess, but like they're not gonna call it a gourd pie, Wilson. It's a pumpkin pie.

Wilson 29:00

They probably do call it in some like fancy restaurant.

Captain 29:02

I just wonder if they're like, are they somehow more bitter or like they just not they're not I mean, if you've had a raw pumpkin, there's not a lot of sugar in there. It's just you gotta add sugar and butter and stuff.

Wilson 29:13

Yeah, just I don't know. I don't really hear about people eating gourds.

Captain 29:16

You know, you're gonna hate this. I know you're gonna hate this, but I did once have roasted acorn squash, and there was like, you know, goodies, goodies inside. Goodies, goodies, like, you know, treats and not not there was food inside. Anyway, I ate the food inside, and um, but it was like sorped me in an acorn gourd, and I feel like that's actually interesting. I feel like you would have to be.

Wilson 29:38

But what is an acorn gourd?

Captain 29:39

Acorn squash! It's like in the shape of an acorn.

Wilson 29:42

Oh, okay. It's not doesn't taste like acorns.

Captain 29:45

No. That does remind me. But if you roast them, you can eat the whole thing.

Wilson 29:48

Oh but um for so around Thanksgiving, the first time I had ever heard of something, it was leading up to Thanksgiving, was this like you like basically mash, or you don't have to mash, but sweet potatoes, and then you like caramelize um pecans and like put them on top.

Captain 30:05

I'm down.

Wilson 30:06

I had never heard about it. Show up Thanksgiving the next day there for the first time. It was good. And I usually don't like sweet potatoes, but I just felt so weird. This thing, this dish I had never heard about, heard about like two days before Thanksgiving.

Captain 30:21

What do they call the dish?

Wilson 30:23

Pecan sweet potatoes? I don't know.

Captain 30:29

It sounded like it had a name, like a name that you like saw on a list.

Wilson 30:33

No, I just uh somebody brought it up and I was like, I have no idea what that is.

Captain 30:38

I have never seen that either.

Wilson 30:39

What pecan like pecan pie?

Captain 30:41

No. No, but I didn't have that for the first time, but like no, like roasted caramelized sweet potatoes with roasted with pecans on top.

Wilson 30:51

Uh yeah, or it's like caramelized, yeah. It was like it was like some form of like semi-mushy sweet potatoes and then a layer of like candied pecans or something.

Captain 31:01

Sounds good.

Wilson 31:03

Yeah, it was yeah. I mean it's a I I'm trying to think of what a name would be, but it's just like sweet potato pecan casserole. I don't know.

Captain 31:14

It's some type of salad. Yeah, yeah. Um, well, that's fun.

Wilson 31:22

Okay, well, that's the drinks.

Captain 31:24

Um 40 minutes into it. Okay, um welcome. Welcome to the 183rd episode

Review Setup: There’s Something In The Barn

Captain 31:35

of the Red Run Podcast, where we review horror movies while enjoying an adult beverage or two. And I'm Captain.

Wilson 31:41

And I'm Wilson.

Captain 31:42

And this week we're reviewing the 2023 Norwegian comedy horror film, There's Something in the Bar.

Wilson 31:50

Alright, I didn't know we had uh William Chatner on the podcast. Shat is back, baby.

Captain 31:56

Shatter's back. I'm the worst impression. Like it. Yeah.

Wilson 32:00

Um I mean, hashtag you're not trying to be William Shatner, because that sounded like William Chatner.

Captain 32:04

I mean, it sounded just like him.

Wilson 32:06

I mean, it's gotta be shadow. She was in the room, but you said he's shattered. I said hashtag you gotta be shat me.

Jay 32:12

You gotta be shat me.

Captain 32:14

Um that's a good one for like if William Shatner does come to like one of the cons. I think he's gonna.

Jay 32:20

You think William Shatner wants to hear a chat?

Captain 32:22

Our friend Willie.

Jay 32:23

Like you think that he's up for that. Like I'm gonna be the millionth person to say hey.

Captain 32:28

If you lean into it, I think it'd be fine.

Wilson 32:31

I think he I heard he avoided conventions for the longest time. Then he went and is like, woo-hoo, these are fun.

Captain 32:37

I mean, I feel like it happens to a lot of celebrities. Um okay.

Jay 32:43

Oh, yeah.

Captain 32:44

Okay. There's something in the vine, directed by Magnus Martins, uh, written by Alexander Kirkwood Brown. Um, neither of these people are clickable, like, with their own wiki, but Magnus did um direct two episodes of Fear of the Walking Dead, never watched that, and two episodes of Banshee.

Wilson 33:06

What is Banshee?

Captain 33:07

Banshee is a You were like ready to answer that, too.

Wilson 33:12

I knew you were gonna ask.

Captain 33:13

Banshee is an American crime thriller television series um that um is a recently paroled thief. Um assumes the identity of a sheriff in a town called Banshee PA in Pennsylvania. There is no real Banshee, Pennsylvania. Um but um yeah, add this to Q.

Wilson 33:32

This sounds kind of interesting.

Captain 33:33

It has four seasons, so uh probably what network is this?

Wilson 33:36

Like a Tubi?

Captain 33:40

Um HBO Max says that's where you can Yeah, HBO Max.

Jay 33:44

Wow, what?

Captain 33:45

Yeah. Um I'm watching that. Yeah, it actually sounds pretty good. I've never seen it though.

Jay 33:49

Um gives me sneaky pee vibes.

Captain 33:52

Seriously. And he he directed two episodes of that.

Jay 33:55

Okay.

Captain 33:56

Um okay, so just a quick um so like yeah, there's a a f American family that is coming to Norway is kind of our premise here. So um the American family's main character is Martin Starr as Bill. Um he also oh, he also played Bill in Freaks and Great Geeks. A different Bill. A different Bill, not like the same. Could be mad, but it looks like being the same name. Um and then he also was in Party Down. Um he was Gilfoyle in Silicon Valley. Um he was in Knocked Up and Adventureland, and he also is Roger Harrington in the Marvel Universe.

Jay 34:36

I don't know. I think it's Spider-Man teacher, I think. Oh, yeah. You would recognize Martin. Yeah, he's in two of them at least. Oh yeah.

Captain 34:45

Um, don't click on anything. Um, so then we have Carol who played oh no. Uh his wife Carol, who's played by Amrita Archie? Um, she was eerie in Game of Thrones, which is a really small character, but I kind of recognized her. Um and then she's also um some in some movie called or some character in um The Ser Serpent Queen. I don't know, something newer that she did. Um I don't think the little kids did anything. Do you want to give me air? I think I can close it all the way. Um okay, and then we also have the main elf who is played by Kieran Shaw. Um he is a little person that gets credit, you know, does a lot of roles. So he was in he was a goblin in The Philosopher's Stone. Um, he was um a scale double for Elijah Woods in Lord of the Rings, which is so funny. Um, and then he also was a character in the Chronicles of Narnia, um, and he's a goblin in The Hobbit. You watched all those movies.

Wilson 35:59

Yes.

Captain 36:00

Do you recognize him?

Wilson 36:01

I do not. He's probably in like copious amount of it. Yeah, yeah.

Captain 36:07

Um and then we have uh Jepp Beck Larson, who plays Raymond in this movie, so he's what a neighbor. Um he's most famous for his role in The Last Kingdom, which you watched.

Jay 36:20

I did, yeah.

Captain 36:21

I don't recognize him at all.

Jay 36:22

Oh yeah, he's he's a he's a big character in The Last Kingdom. He's one of the main like antagonists slash Oh, bad guy? Protagonist? He's yeah, he plays a bad character. He plays like a shady character. He's not like a uh he's he's kind of evil, but more of a trickster or you know, untrustworthy character more than anything. He's not like a super evil

Cast, Crew, And Premise

Jay 36:45

person.

Captain 36:46

Um and then we have one other neighbor, Kale Helvang Larsen. He is Norwegian, so I'm butchering his name. Um, but he's a comedian actually. He's best known for his work uh with Elvis as part of some comedian trio. Who is this?

Wilson 37:03

What do you what do you play in this movie?

Captain 37:05

He's the main nor a neighbor, the the guy that gives all of the discussion about Jeppe.

Jay 37:12

That's a different neighbor. Jeppe's one of the participants.

Captain 37:15

That who plays it plays Hannah.

Jay 37:18

Oh, okay, okay, okay.

Captain 37:19

Um and then, yes, he's he yeah, so this guy, Kale, he's a comedian who's in a comedy trio called Roskman, which means fast. I think it the translation is more like quick, like you're you know, you're like, you know, you can be quick with your not like literally fast.

Jay 37:37

It's like quick witted.

Captain 37:39

Yeah, it's quick witted, I think. I think um and then you know, he does some other like comedy shows, um, like comedy TV shows. Like he's got one where you like there's no laughing, like the silent library type of show, but nor we Norway.

Wilson 37:55

What do you mean silent library?

Captain 37:56

You know that I think there was an M T V show where like you had to like do pranks or like do dares, but like you couldn't laugh at all. If you laughed, you're out.

Wilson 38:06

I don't know anything about that.

Captain 38:07

Well, anyway, there's a Norwegian version of that. Okay. Okay. So the series starts out with um a man having a full crash out trying to burn a barn to the ground. Um he gets burnt alive instead. That's all we really see though.

Wilson 38:27

Well, yeah, you see a figure. Oh, you do see a figure? I think you see Yeah. Actually, I think you do. That or like eyes. Yeah. Because he like pushes that weird tire swing or something and like knocks him out the window.

Captain 38:41

Yeah, and then he burns alive. Yeah. Um, and then a year later, you see an American family driving um through Norway, and they're talking about how they are what?

Jay 38:51

I just thought of something. He burned alive, but there's snow everywhere. Why didn't he just get on the ground and roll around?

Captain 38:56

Well, I think he's covered in gasoline or something.

Jay 38:59

Yeah, but the snow will help. I I don't know why I just thought about that now. He falls down, he falls on the ground, he's burning alive.

Captain 39:06

Yeah, but if water makes grease fires worse, why why would snow make But it's powdered snow, it should smother the fire.

Jay 39:12

I mean, I don't want to get off on tangent, but I just thought about that. I was like, hey, probably could have probably could have made it out.

Captain 39:18

I mean, he wasn't.

Jay 39:19

If he just wasn't panicking from being on fire. Well, yeah.

Captain 39:23

Um yeah, this is like such a tangent. Um, you should not use snow on a grease fire. It'll melt into water and make it worse.

Jay 39:30

Yeah, but it's not fire.

Captain 39:32

Yeah, but gasoline is gasoline oil slash grease, like is that not the same basis basic properties?

Wilson 39:38

Uh you know what? We're going into territory. I have no idea what I'm talking about.

Captain 39:41

So I'm not gonna answer that.

Jay 39:43

Yeah, no, snow won't effectively help extinguish a gas.

Captain 39:46

So he died.

Jay 39:47

So he died.

Captain 39:47

And the logistics of the movie make sense.

Jay 39:49

Correct. I stand corrected. Pour one out for old Smeehmall.

Captain 39:55

Um yeah, Jay, so you would die in this situation.

Jay 39:58

Well, I would die. I tried. I mean my good thing.

Wilson 40:00

Oh yeah, like what's the in this situation, what's the alternative? Yeah, like you know nothing. Nothing.

Captain 40:07

Um. Okay, so anyway, the family comes through.

Jay 40:11

Um pull up, come through. Free house yellow.

Captain 40:17

Yeah, and we find out that they're um they inherited some great grandfather's or uncle's house or something in Norway um that died. It was the guy in the beginning.

Wilson 40:27

Um they do not seem like a family. They seem like no um relatives, maybe. Like he is not a father figure. That is not a motherly figure.

Captain 40:36

There are fathers that are just as horrible as a father as that man. He is biologically their fault, but he is not a very absent. Yeah. Um, yeah. Talk about like, yeah, nothing. No parenting. Um, anyway, yes, they drive through, they see a moose, they try to pet the moose, which is crazy. Um and then we find out that the mom is like some health

Rules Of The Barn Elf And Early Mischief

Captain 41:00

help uh self-help.

Wilson 41:02

She's definitely like an MLM, right?

Captain 41:05

Um, yeah, and um she wants to turn, they get to the house, no, she there's a barn, tries to turn the barn into a bed and breakfast. Um but like very shortly after they've been there, Lucas starts to see, like he sees there's something in the barn and he even says, There's something in the barn. Um and he's scared about it. But um again, then they also have a teenage daughter, Nora, who's like, you know, a typical angsty teenager. Um Carol, the stepmom tries to keep the family together, and Bill, very naive, is trying to like make the home a home. Um anyway, they go into town and Lucas talks to some neighbor. What's his name? Kale? I don't know what his name is in the movie, but he gives him the rundown about um what the elf is, that he's an elf barn. No, he gives behind elves.

Wilson 42:01

Yeah, but like he doesn't believe that there are really elves.

Captain 42:04

He's a yeah, well, that's funny. Lucas asks him, are they real? And he goes, What do you mean? Like, are the statues real? Is the lore a thing? Like, is that a thing? Or anyway, yeah, he says, Yes, they're a barn elf. Um, and like they're cool if you're nice to them, but they will um like attack you or make you move out of the house if you are bad to them.

Wilson 42:25

You have three I think he said he gave him three rules.

Captain 42:27

Yeah, no lights, no loud noises, and don't change anything. Which is like well. Um and then Lucas tries to befriend him, so he gives him like chuck a chip cookies. He loves that. Um and then I think because he's nice to the barn elf, the barn elf starts doing stuff for them. So he like shovels their driveway, he chops their wood for them. Nobody understands what's happening. Like the parents are just okay, it's happening for us. Um yeah, I don't even know how you would just assume that that's happening and it's fine and it's taxes.

Jay 43:07

But I guess they're uh new countries, so they're like Yeah, I mean they don't know what's you know what's going on. I mean uh it could be part of the service.

Captain 43:16

It could be.

Jay 43:17

But when did you see somebody or I tell you what you're not gonna assume it is a freaking barn elf. That's the last thing I'm assuming.

Captain 43:23

I mean, he says it's the barn. Yeah, and they, you know, they're just like they don't believe him. Yeah, he's just a little kid. They're like, whatever.

Wilson 43:29

So the dad what puts up a bunch of lights, the brightest light. Very loud.

Captain 43:34

They set up for yeah, they they decide to like uh try to befriend everybody in the neighborhood, so they like set up a party for a party.

Jay 43:41

The barn.

Captain 43:42

The barn's disgusting. I don't know how they got that together enough.

Jay 43:45

It still looks yeah, it's pretty the barn still looks kind of nasty during the party.

Captain 43:49

They just like pushed everything to the sides.

Jay 43:51

Yeah, yeah. And the house is gorgeous and huge, but they're like not really a barn with a bunch of holes in it, no insulation.

Captain 43:57

It's like there's chains, barrels, like tarps and stuff in the barn. They just push to the side.

Jay 44:02

It looks like an old sawmill. Yeah, yeah. Like, time for a party.

Captain 44:06

Yeah, but in the setup for that, they put up the brightest decorate Christmas decorations, the loudest animatronic decorations. Um, and of course, the barn elf doesn't like that, so he destroys all the decorations overnight. Um, we do meet the cop at the very beginning when the moose comes through, and she basically saves them from getting attacked by a big mom moose, but um she comes through again when the decorations get destroyed. Her character is fantastic, so funny, like punchy with her lines. I didn't pull her up for cast, but you said you recognized her or no? Oh. I don't recognize it. Um but yeah, she's a really good, like, she has a lot of really good lines. She does, yeah.

Wilson 44:48

She's a fun character.

Captain 44:49

Yeah, she's a really fun character. But basically, like they tell her it's to short overnight, and they're like, what are you gonna do about it? And she basically just laughs at their face, laughs in their face, and she's when they asked her, What are they gonna do? And you know, she's like uh I could look into it.

Jay 45:06

I'm gonna get food down here.

Wilson 45:08

Yeah, yeah, she makes that joke. Yeah, I mean it does sound ridiculous, like based on what she like they're describing to her. Like, yeah. I'm gonna call for backup.

Jay 45:15

These are the things. Well, dust for fingerprints, yeah. Yeah.

Captain 45:21

Um, yes, and then they do eventually have the dinner. Um, I Martin gives a very poorly translated Norwegian speech because he's trying to learn Norwegian. Um, and they're like, Wait, the fuck? Um but anyway, party picks up when they all have alcohol. Mom, set mom hears from one of the neighbors the rumors that this barn is apparently haunted, which she didn't know anything about. Um, so she hears that like there's some weird history of the being haunted and the uncle died on the property or whatever. Um, and she wasn't really fully aware of that. Um, but the party kind of comes crashing to an end when Nora, the teenager, drank everything and then or drank, you know, and then threw up everywhere. Um including um it seeping through the floor billards onto the barn elf, which is disgusting.

Jay 46:10

It's disgusting.

Captain 46:12

Um during this party, I think the neighbor tells Lucas, okay, there's like one last thing you can do for the barn elf so that he won't destroy your family, which is make him some porridge. On Christmas Eve. Oh yes, sorry, on Christmas Eve. Um and maybe that'll maybe that'll make things cool. Um but that doesn't work out very well.

Wilson 46:34

Um because the dad basically eats he eats all the porridge.

Captain 46:39

Yeah. Um dad eats all the porridge, so there's no porridge to give him. And then the dad made them loot fish on Christmas Eve, which is like a disgusting jello fish, fermented gelatinous fish that is a Norwegian uh traditional dish. Um, and so Lucas has nothing to offer the elf except that fish, which uh he takes a bite and then like basically his eyes go black and he's like time to rampage. Like they don't they can't speak English, but they

Party Disaster And Elf Retaliation

Captain 47:10

like you can just tell that he's like, Oh, that's how you feel about me.

Jay 47:14

You'd think um if it's a traditional Norwegian dish, the elf wouldn't mind it so much, but you have gelatinous fermented fish, and you tell me what you tell me what you think about that. But yeah, it didn't look appetizing.

Captain 47:29

No. Um so yeah, I think this is when everything the rest of the movie is like a very long attack battle scene, basically.

Wilson 47:37

Oh yeah, because he summons all of the elves in the area. Yeah.

Captain 47:40

Yeah, he attacks them and then yeah, he summons elves for more for more help.

Wilson 47:45

And then they what? Basically break into the house, the family retreats upstairs, and then all the elves get drunk in their house and just party for a while.

Captain 47:55

I mean, alcohol's always gonna make it better.

Wilson 47:57

And then like some of them accidentally kill themselves, like figuring out what guns are.

Captain 48:01

Yeah, the cop eventually shows up again when the family the family kind of you know gets in and out of this, you know. Nora has a softball, she's a softball pro or whatever, so like she's you know, whacking them and stuff, but they do eventually get the cop to come back out, and she doesn't believe them. Um you know, she's like, you crazy Americans. Um, because they're like, get your gun. She's like, we don't carry our guns around us, like you crazy Americans. Um, but you know, that doesn't work out really well because they steal her snowmobile and her gun. And run her over. And run her over. Um and yes, then they kill each other with the gun, not realizing how that works. But yes, the family eventually barricades themselves upstairs and and while have that have the elves partying. Um they kind of like you know, the family's kind of discombobulated, like moving here, but they like bond again.

Wilson 48:51

Yeah, they have some like hard-to-heart moments, like bring the story together.

Captain 48:55

Um, and then they kind of work together to get out of this situation. So Bill and Lucas get they're on like this long chase scene um towards a neighbor's house, while Carol and Nora are like making it's almost like Molotov cocktails.

Wilson 49:15

Yeah.

Captain 49:16

Um, to defend themselves. But it doesn't really it doesn't really kill any of them.

Jay 49:22

It doesn't do anything, really. No, but they they pour uh what is it, absent the moonshine or shine into decorative treatment ornaments. Somehow they have fuses on them. I don't know where they got those, but oh yeah.

Captain 49:40

Um anyway, Bill and Lucas do eventually find the neighbor that knows about elves that gave him the three rolls um and asks him to help come save him. So he comes through. Again, everybody that they talk to about the elves are attacking us, like nobody believes them. Yeah, even the Norwegians that have lived here. So I was kind of thinking that one of the neighbors would be in on it. Like they said that they have the rumors of it being haunted, but I thought like somebody in the neighborhood actually would like fully understand, like have have already seen them, maybe working with them. Um, but this movie is way more of a comedy than like a you know, a twist, you know. Yeah. I'm always looking for a twist. Um but yes, they do bring the neighbor in. Um, he doesn't really help much. Um but he does get them back to the area where they can save Nora and Carol that are like tied up by the elves. And um, because Lucas made friends with the Barn Elf before the loot fish situation, he decides to help the family and fight with them against the other elves. Even though he called all the other elves. I know.

Jay 50:44

But now he's not angry anymore. He doesn't think that's a good idea.

Wilson 50:46

Yeah, like the kid showed him like a little bit of kindness, did that we were like, I promise, but I thank you, or I'm not sure. It was like because the kid said, I promise we'll keep you safe or like keep you happy in the beginning, but it was like you did everything to make him unhappy. So what is your promise?

Captain 50:59

Yeah, I mean, yes, he he got like yeah, all the party noise, all the lights.

Wilson 51:04

Um I did give him cookies though, so yeah, like four cookies and then loot fish, like this elf basically helps sacrifice the rest of the elves because of the cookies.

Captain 51:18

Yes. How do they how do the rest of the elves go?

Wilson 51:23

Oh yes, something some flammable things in the barn.

Captain 51:27

Yes. I think uh one of the barrels gets knocked over during the fight scene and and like oil starts leaking out. They show it briefly, but then it comes up at the very end of the movie like 30 minutes later, and it's a good tie out. At the beginning of the movie, the guy was just like, I'm gonna burn this ground, this barn to the ground, you know, because it's evil and he doesn't get to do it. And now at the end of the movie, they do finally get to burn the barn to the ground. So it's a good bookend for that. Um but at the last scene, they're like, Well, the neighbor goes, Well, your original barn Alice, he lost his home. Like now he's homeless.

Wilson 52:05

He's like their friend now, and he just like looks really sad and he doesn't have a home anymore.

Captain 52:10

Um, so they decide to give him a home. He gets to live inside of the little fake um museum in town. Yeah, like Santa Museum or old timey house museum. What?

Wilson 52:21

Well, yeah, it's just like a silly, like like Santa's. I don't know.

Captain 52:25

Nice land, I think, literally translates to Santa land.

Wilson 52:28

Yeah, but it's just funny.

Captain 52:31

But yes, he gets to yes, he actually becomes like friends with them. Oh, and they get to finally Santaurora at the end of the movie, because it is Norway after all. Um so it does end with a happy ending. And this movie is a comedy, so like it actually they actually do hit the comedy very well. And the horror, like, there's enough horror and comedy in here. There's a little too much fighting for my liking, like, to give this like amazing ratings. Because there's like I mean, isn't the fighting the battling scene like that?

Wilson 53:00

I think they're fun. Yeah, I like it.

Jay 53:02

So you dropped your rating. Like the fight scene.

Captain 53:05

Because it just goes on so long.

Jay 53:06

I think it's very Christmassy, it's giving me like home alone vibes, basically, where they're like trying to defend their home from the It is home alone vibes for sure.

Captain 53:13

Um, but a little bit more hard because the elves are like, you know, creepy and deadly and they do do some sneaky stuff that like you know, you see the you know, that like camera angle where like a dark, like a shadowed figure of the thing, like the elf, for example,

Siege, Cop Chaos, And Home Alone Energy

Captain 53:30

is like goes across the camera screen, um, you know, in the foreground, while in the background there's like you know, Babil doing something in the kitchen. So like you get those scenes um or like his reflection showing in the glass of the fridge with Nora um was such a bitch was she drops a glass, shatters it, and then just walks away. Cleans up nothing.

Wilson 53:53

Typical teenager.

Captain 53:54

That is not I'd be screamed at if I shattered a glass and just left it there for people to step on.

Wilson 54:01

Um that's some like six seven behavior right there. Oh six seven. Ugh. Don't do that.

Captain 54:09

What how old do you think you are?

Wilson 54:12

Cut that part out.

Captain 54:14

Um but yeah, it it's actually a pretty good movie overall, though. It's like it's funny, it hits, it's got your Christmas in there. Let's take a commercial break and we'll be right back because I've none of those hakus.

Wilson 54:26

Well, ho ho, hold on now, folks. If you're looking for a Ollie Jolly prank that'll keep your Mima clutching her nativity scene, you best jinggle on over to Uncle Ezekiel's haunted all-day yard sale in Spirit Emporium. That's right! Ezekiel's taking a Christmas cheer, took it real hard, and whatever fell out is what we're selling. We got ornaments that glow even when the tree ain't flowing. Greeks that whispered turn around in the middle of the night, and stock is that well, they move. On the road, real determined black. And don't you worry, we still got picture frames with that mystery man in the background. Except now he's wearing a little sand hat. And if you see Uncle Ezekiel wandering around muttering that the North Pole portal opened again, just let him play. He gets like that when he mixes eggnog with his blood pressure medicine. So pitch up your slate, grab your bravest cousin, and come on down to Uncle Ezekiel's, where the candy canes are cooked, the elves are questionable, and every purchase comes for free and watch. Okay, and we're back. Wow, what a great sponsor.

Jay 55:51

I've been there after this podcast. What? I've been there after this podcast. Oh, yeah, and right there.

Captain 55:58

Um okay, so subnoms hot goos. Um, okay, we have a $1.3 million box office. Didn't really find a budget for this. Um it's really hard to, I don't know. It's Norwegian and like there's numbers weren't really out there.

Jay 56:13

Okay.

Captain 56:13

Um, but ratings. Um, this is an 81% critics and a 51% audience. So 81% critics is really good.

Wilson 56:21

That's kind of surprising. I mean, it was good. Let me see.

Captain 56:25

I'm surprised the audience is 51%.

Wilson 56:27

Yeah. You thought it'd be higher? I thought it'd be higher. So not terribly hard.

Captain 56:35

Right, right on the mark with uh with Rotten Tomatoes, but Letterboxd is usually a little harsher than Rotten Tomatoes, no?

Wilson 56:42

Uh yeah, yeah, Letterbox is usually harsher.

Jay 56:44

So Rotten Tomatoes is typically the kindest.

Captain 56:47

The kind oh, like versus IMBD.

Jay 56:50

IMDB, Letterboxd.

Wilson 56:52

I feel like IMDB gives everything like 8.6.

Jay 56:55

Yeah, I IMDB is really harsh. And also like really particular. Like some movies that I think are like great, they're like, because they're not like Christopher Nolan Batman movies. People are like, oh, it's like a seven.

Captain 57:07

Um I've uh I'm just gonna rate mine right now.

Wilson 57:10

What are you rating it?

Captain 57:12

Okay, I gave it a 3.5.

Wilson 57:14

I give it a three and a half. Or sorry, no, I gave it a three. You're gonna say a three and a half.

Captain 57:21

Um yeah, I don't know. It's just it's a funny movie. It has the heart in there. I laughed a lot during this movie.

Wilson 57:29

Yeah, I mean, okay, it I mean it doesn't have like the best heart, but it has like enough to keep the movie going.

Captain 57:34

Yeah, to keep the movie going.

Wilson 57:35

Because there was like no there wasn't really like a familial family chemistry. No. I still don't believe any of them are family members. No. But uh it was a good movie.

Captain 57:44

Out of all the one out of all the characters that actually like try to give family, it's actually the stepmom.

Wilson 57:49

Yes. I found her really annoying.

Captain 57:52

Oh, like when she enters the one town restaurant and she goes, hi everybody.

Wilson 57:56

Yeah, I just I felt like I d I just felt all of her like scenes were it felt inauthentic. I don't know.

Captain 58:05

But um, yeah, but I think her trying to bond with her stepdaughter was like authentic enough.

Wilson 58:10

Yeah, it's better than like the dad that didn't do anything. Oh my god. Do you know you have kids?

Captain 58:15

Like he doesn't, he's the worst listener. He doesn't parent up with it.

Wilson 58:18

Oh, I eat your porridge, sorry or I'll eat the bowl here. No, sorry.

Captain 58:22

Thanks for the porridge. Um yeah, he just doesn't, he's just like not, he's nothing. Yeah.

Jay 58:29

Yeah, completely uninterested.

Captain 58:30

And then like Even when his wife like yells at him about how she was so upset that she found about found out about the rumors of this house, and he's like, Oh yeah, I just didn't want to tell you. Yeah. And then tells her, like, yeah, so like he died in the house, and he caught him like he like uh fell out of the second story and like caught himself on fire, and she was like so mad that he knew all of this stuff about that and the rumors and like just didn't tell her.

Wilson 58:52

Yeah. I wonder, like that him, like the dad character being kind of absent doesn't change anything about the story. So I wonder if like Martin Starr, like he's never really maybe has never really played like a very connected father character. I've never seen him play that. I just play what I know.

Captain 59:10

Yeah, I mean his at least his character is like it's gonna sound bad, but it's like actually a flushed out character. It's like, oh, I know who this is an absent, terrible dad.

Jay 59:22

Like they don't play off that a lot though. Like it's not like his children don't really resent him in the way you think they're gonna be. Oh no, they're fine. Yeah, they're just like, oh whatever, it's all stepmom's fault. It's like what? Like he's just moved you halfway across the world and didn't even care about what was going on in your life. Yeah. But they they I mean it's a short movie, so I mean there's not a lot of and it's not there to explore that kind of stuff. So I guess not really. It's more of a comedy.

Wilson 59:46

Yeah, I'm kinda glad they didn't explore Yeah, no, a hundred percent, but it's Yeah, like I guess I'm yeah, I don't know what I'm advocating for because like it would have taken more, but at the same time the movie does not need like it's supposed to be a little kind of like you know, can't Be a little like yeah, like we're not there for the family stuff.

Jay 1:00:02

Yeah, definitely. Like the worst parts of Home Alone are like he's going on like some journey of self-discovery in the first movie, and he's like goes to church and talks to homeless person. It's like I

Finale Fire, Folklore, And Happy Ending

Jay 1:00:10

I just want to see you beat up robbers. Skip to that part. So it this movie kind of gives you what you're looking for.

Wilson 1:00:16

Yes.

Jay 1:00:17

Um, but enough story to give you like Christmas charm too. Because it's like it's it's very Christmas, yeah. Very like very Christmas trope. Like uh art. It reminds me of like Meet the Parents. Is that what it is? Family trap, parent trap? Where the twin sisters meet at the parent trap. Right, and the the stepmom's trying to win over the candy. It's kind of like that, but so I get the um yeah, I don't know.

Captain 1:00:43

I I there's a couple moments I picked out as like really good moments of this movie, but I don't know if anyone else had a specific rag they wanted to talk about. Um I do have a little bit of hot ghosts.

Wilson 1:00:52

Usually my rags, or like my rags, I think, are any of the jokes that are like we're not in America. Like the Yeah, there's so many of those I really like Detroit line, like all of those, yeah. I think the Detroit line was gonna be my.

Captain 1:01:08

Um okay. So that Cal neighbor talks about discussing peace and negotiating. He's like, you know, in Norway, here in Norway, we we we negotiate peace, and he brings up the fact that he Norway just did peace talks between Israel and Palestine, yeah. Yeah, but he was like, Well, it didn't last very long, but we did it and it worked briefly. Um but he's like um he's talking about how they have to negotiate peace between the humans and the elves, and Bill's like, what the fuck are you talking about? Like, what side are you on like people like literally people died? And he was like, Well, it's important to understand both sides are negotiating, and Bill's like, No, you know, it's either it's either, or he says, like, you know, we have to kill him or something, and the neighbor goes, goes uh Bill, we don't like shoot and kill each other here until no one's left. This isn't Detroit. It was like very out of pocket, or like I was just not expecting I also like one of one of my favorite scenes is when the um cop comes to the house and they're like um they say something about how like yeah, they're being attacked by elves, and um she basically just laughs at them and then she um she says, Well, maybe there was a fox. You guys have Fox News, right? Um but yeah, she basically just believes just assumes that they're drunk, uh, they're not sober. Um I I don't know, did you have a raise of glass, Jay?

Jay 1:02:38

Yeah, I mean those moments are really funny where they're um they're like drawing on the difference between Norway and US. I I don't try to think of another one. There's a lot there's a there's a lot of decent moments in the in a lot of funny moments in the show. I think I think one of the better moments is when the daughter, I mean the dad's completely helpless when the the uh elves are attacking the house, but the daughter like is struggling and she gets away from the elves long enough and she gets like a bat and just yeah. That was a nice scene, but it never like it didn't it didn't like do anything long term or yeah, like they weren't dead and then she didn't keep the bat, so I was like, well, why like this is clearly effective.

Captain 1:03:17

Why aren't you just keep doing like but um Martin Star his his character Bill has another good line about Nori vs. America while towards the end of the movie, while they're fleeing from the elves and the elves have stolen the sheriff's gun, you can hear him screaming, why do they have the only gun in Norway?

Wilson 1:03:34

That was good too, yeah. So there's some good one-liners in there.

Captain 1:03:38

Yes, it they they are they really are. Um we we were like fully laughing. Um okay, so this premiered at Fantastic Fest, an animal film festival in Austin, Texas.

Wilson 1:03:51

An animal or annual?

Captain 1:03:53

Annual. So I was like, what? Fine. Uh I mean it could be. Well, it was in Texas, so basically animal. Um an annual film festival in Austin, Texas, focused on fantasy, horror, and sci-fi. Let's go. Um, I don't want to go to Texas, though. Um apparently, due to limited snowfall during the time of filming, Starr said that the snow had to be brought in by truckload to accomplish the vision that

Ratings, Best Lines, And Standout Scenes

Captain 1:04:20

vision that they needed for the film. Wow. Um oh yeah. And then remember when um Carol uses a um lamb leg to beat one of the elves? Yeah. Apparently that is a traditional Norwegian cured lamb leg Finalar, usually served on festive occasions. So it was a Christmas Christmas lamb. Yes. A Norwegian Christmas lamb. Um yeah, that's kind of all my hot goose. Was this actually filmed in Norway?

Wilson 1:04:50

Yes, it was. I was just looking at that. Oh. Um Norway.

Captain 1:04:59

It looks like Norway from someone that's been.

Jay 1:05:04

Certificate of authenticity.

Captain 1:05:06

Certification of authenticity. Um I did look up if this barn elf is real, so like it's it's um the the folklore is real, not the actual.

Wilson 1:05:15

Yeah, right. The barn elf.

Captain 1:05:17

Um it's called a fjornisen, um, which literally translates to like barn pixie or barn weasel or something. But like together it would be like a barn elf. Um, but it's like a Scandinavian folklore creature um that's often described as a short man, quote, no bigger than a horse's head.

Jay 1:05:38

Okay.

Captain 1:05:39

That wears knickerbockers and a red. Um but yes, they live in a barn and they're typically shy, hardly ever seen, and they're good helpers if you treat them well, especially at Christmas. Um, but yes, if you do stuff that fail keeping him happy, then they will go they will do mischief and harm you. Um so and the porridge thing is real. Um there's a story that tells of a Nisa that um finding a farmer failed to put a speck of butter in his porridge, he got angry and killed the farmer's best milking cow. So that's where that original porridge story comes from. Um you you put the bowl of porridge, um, you know, you give it to him, um, you know, they won't do as much mischief. When we were in Norway, there's a lot of stories about the trolls. I don't know if we heard too much about the elves. There are elves, like they do have elf folklore, and like all those creepy elf figurines, those are really in Norway and used like as Christmas decor. Um and they yeah, they're really into folklore there, like creature folklore. So um we went to the troll museum.

Jay 1:06:54

Yes.

Captain 1:06:54

Um, but yeah, that that that's that I feel like that fully checks out for something that they would have.

Wilson 1:07:00

Yeah. It's an authentic movie.

Captain 1:07:03

I've never had porridge. Is it good?

Wilson 1:07:05

I just always thought it was um oatmeal, but I guess it's not. I heard like rice and corn. Yeah, he and butter.

Captain 1:07:12

Dude, he whipped that up.

Jay 1:07:13

Yeah, he looked kind of garlic and chives.

Wilson 1:07:15

I was like, Michelin porridge. Like, I'll try some porridge. Like, what is that? Um fucking uh Goldilocks. Biggie. Like she knows what's up.

Captain 1:07:28

Well, one of them was just right.

Wilson 1:07:30

Well, yeah. Oh, I mean, she knew which one was right, though, probably.

Captain 1:07:33

Yeah.

Jay 1:07:34

Also, why are there three different porridges at wildly different temperatures? Like, how will those served?

Captain 1:07:39

Yeah, I don't know.

Wilson 1:07:40

Get her.

Captain 1:07:41

And why don't you put them on the table and then walk away?

Jay 1:07:45

Alright, hope no one breaks in. We gotta go, I guess, do bear stuff. Bear o'clock already.

Captain 1:07:56

I it's been so long since I've heard that story. I don't remember why they leave.

Jay 1:08:01

I barely got a chance to eat.

Captain 1:08:03

Oh my god, you need to shut up. Not barely got a chance. Do you hear him being stupid?

Wilson 1:08:09

Uh no, I was talking about porridge.

Captain 1:08:12

Sorry, it's time for our porridge.

Jay 1:08:14

I feel like you're gonna like go eat porridge somewhere and it's gonna be like wildly underwhelming. Probably. This is another word for this is gruel.

Wilson 1:08:22

I mean, gruel is it says it's a thinner version of porridge.

Captain 1:08:28

No.

Wilson 1:08:28

Yeah. Yeah, it's right here. But I think oatmeal uh does count as a type of porridge.

Jay 1:08:36

Gotcha. Okay. I've had I've had but have people have you ever heard people call it hot cereal? I have heard that. Yeah, that's what it's so fun appetizing sounding.

Captain 1:08:43

Wait, that's oatmeal.

Jay 1:08:45

That that you said it's a type of porridge.

Wilson 1:08:46

Yeah, so like it says porridge is a type of semi-solid food made from soaking, poaching, or boiling in a milk or water, and it's crushed in like a ground ground starchy plant, like grains. So you could i I think you could say oatmeal is porridge. But if you hook it up with some what do you have, like garlic butter and green onion? Uh well I mean it can be it's a colour term.

Captain 1:09:09

You're really trying to get chives in there.

Wilson 1:09:10

He was he was using it up, that's all. I mean, I see a lot of things you can put in porridge.

Captain 1:09:15

Squash porridge? No.

Jay 1:09:17

I mean all those things you can put in porridge to make it taste better, you can put on anything else. It's like I can put butter in there. I was like, okay, you can put butter on.

Captain 1:09:26

You know, when I see porridge, to me, it looks like mashed potatoes.

Wilson 1:09:30

I see oatmeal. When I see porridge, I like pictures of it. I'm like, it's oatmeal.

Jay 1:09:34

Hot cereal.

Captain 1:09:35

Well, Lucas's was really whipped up.

Jay 1:09:37

You guys ever have the hot cereal with the dino eggs that hatch? Yes. That's how my parents.

Wilson 1:09:40

That was like a TV T. Even though I didn't like it then.

Jay 1:09:42

No, I didn't like it, but that was like, okay, I'll eat it for the dino eggs. Yeah.

Wilson 1:09:46

You gotta have them hatch. I mean, like they they open up. Yeah, they open up.

Jay 1:09:48

Yeah, I was like, what? Oh yeah. That's how you get kids to eat oatmeal. Yeah, but oatmeal sucks. I guess it's cheap. That's why.

Wilson 1:09:56

I like oatmeal now. I just don't eat it very often. Like, put some raisins in there with banana. Well, okay, you don't like oatmeal. Yeah, I don't like banana.

Jay 1:10:05

Yeah.

Captain 1:10:06

Um, sorry, I think I've ever oh sorry, you can. No, I was just looking, I I think that's all the hot gas I have, but I actually really like this movie. Well so I gave it a 3.5, and I think my actual like percentage rating probably would be Yeah, like a like a 66.

Wilson 1:10:26

Okay, I gave it a 65.

Jay 1:10:29

I gave it a 69.

Wilson 1:10:31

59.

Captain 1:10:32

You're not gonna finish that. What? Nice. Yeah.

Jay 1:10:37

I mean, I could have given it a 67, but nobody's ever liked you.

Captain 1:10:46

Nobody's ever liked you.

Wilson 1:10:47

69 works for me. Um, this is the last episode of the season, right?

Captain 1:10:50

We're closing out season something.

Wilson 1:10:53

Season eight. Maybe. I think it's season eight.

Captain 1:10:56

We're closing out season eight.

Wilson 1:10:58

I don't know how the seasons were.

Captain 1:10:59

Six, seven, eight.

Jay 1:11:03

Got him.

Captain 1:11:04

Got him.

Jay 1:11:06

Hold on to your porridge.

Captain 1:11:08

Yeah, uh, but I think this was a good Christmas episode to end on. There's not that many Christmas hurrars. So, um, you know.

Jay 1:11:14

That's the best Christmas horror I've seen. Yeah.

Captain 1:11:16

Wait, more than Creanthus?

Jay 1:11:18

I never I don't think I ever saw Creanthora.

Folklore Facts: Nisse, Porridge, And Norway

Wilson 1:11:20

Maybe next year we can watch uh uh Silent Night. They're coming out in the second one.

Jay 1:11:24

Oh.

Captain 1:11:25

Oh. I think so. I think we have a um list put together here.

Wilson 1:11:29

Well, tell the German culture then. Oh, it's a German boogie. I think it's yeah.

Captain 1:11:35

And it's the German version of Santa, but he's like a little mischievous. Oh, yeah.

Wilson 1:11:38

He is punishes rather than rewards.

Captain 1:11:40

I was about to say, like, Krampus is a lot of fun. If you're bad, you get punished. If you're good, you get not punished.

Jay 1:11:45

Yeah. Krampus sounds like he eats children.

Wilson 1:11:47

I well, I mean, he kind of does.

Jay 1:11:49

Oh, I think you watch this movie. It's a good movie.

Wilson 1:11:52

I mean, Adam Scott's in there, Tony Collett.

Jay 1:11:54

Adam Scott's in there? Mm-hmm. What?

Captain 1:11:56

Um, I do have a Christmas movie already picked out. Oh, what else?

Jay 1:11:59

What is it? Die Hard?

Captain 1:12:00

It's a wonderful knife.

Jay 1:12:02

It's a wonderful knife. All right.

Captain 1:12:05

Well, we uh I mean we got a Santa as a serial killer. Wait, do I have that one picked out? Wow.

Jay 1:12:12

Well, where did you pull it? This has been a roller coaster ride.

Captain 1:12:15

No, I think that's the next one. I I wasn't sure how far along I did this season, but I think that, yes, that should be the last. Yes. Um okay. Yes. Um I know this is gonna be a while from now, but our next our next time on the podcast we're doing Curves. I did the homework already, so I'm already prepped. Yeah, and I'm so sorry. I just have to remember. Yeah, it's a horror movie called Curds. Wow. You'll never guess. Never guess.

Jay 1:12:47

That's the horrors of the cheese in having Pride Place is getting out of control. Yeah, but this is like a big curd.

Captain 1:12:55

Yeah, I was gonna say, is this like a big curd takedown movie? Is this like a um cursed? Uh oh.

Wilson 1:13:02

It's a good cast, though. But we'll find out next year.

Captain 1:13:05

Yeah, but if you're looking for like a funny um horror comedy Christmas movie, I definitely would recommend.

Wilson 1:13:11

I would too. I was pleasantly surprised by this.

Captain 1:13:14

You're welcome. Um.

Jay 1:13:19

Any other notes, thoughts in the movie? Huh? Is it any other notes or thoughts on the movie?

Captain 1:13:23

Um, advice needs to be given.

Jay 1:13:27

Oh, yeah.

Wilson 1:13:28

You you need the advice, right?

Captain 1:13:30

Well, do do we have advice? Do we have a function? Do I have advice?

Wilson 1:13:34

Oh, yeah. Give us the advice.

Captain 1:13:36

I mean, you are the guest. It's Jay's guest at our advice.

Jay 1:13:40

I will say if someone leaves a bowl of really tasty porridge in the fridge.

Captain 1:13:45

Oh.

Jay 1:13:45

Yeah. Don't just scarf it down in front of the kids.

Wilson 1:13:48

Don't Goldilocks it.

Captain 1:13:50

Oh, don't Goldilocks it. That's a good one.

Jay 1:13:52

It's worse than Goldilocks, because he's just like eating it in front of the kid, and then the kid's like, hey, that's my porridge. He's like, Oh yeah, sorry, I got hungry. No, no, he doesn't say sorry. Sorry, he doesn't say sorry. There's no apology. I got hungry. He puts the empty bowl in front of the child and says, bye. We'll figure something out later, bud. So don't do that. If you see food in the person's not yours, don't eat it. It might come back to home.
