Director Bong Joon-ho masterfully blends genres, creating a film that functions simultaneously as a monster thriller, dark comedy, and heartrending family drama. Unlike traditional monster movies that hide their creature until the third act, Bong proudly displays his multi-limbed amphibious creation early, allowing viewers to focus on the human story. The film's striking visuals—from the monster swinging from bridges to the family's desperate search through Seoul's underbelly—complement its emotional core about ordinary people rising to extraordinary challenges.

Beyond its thrills, "The Host" offers biting commentary on environmental negligence, government incompetence, and media manipulation. The creature itself becomes a metaphor for the consequences of unchecked pollution and international interference, while the virus panic demonstrates how easily authorities manufacture threats to control populations. Don't miss this landmark film that launched Bong Joon-ho's international reputation years before his Oscar-winning "Parasite" took the world by storm.

So we're also probably going tomake this a quick podcast.
Weather is right on top of you.
Oh no, there's so much weatherhere, golly gee Alright.
So first time you saw thismovie, yes, first time you saw
most of this movie.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
Yeah, I did end up falling asleep on and off,
because I was just so comfy.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
That's how you know we're professional podcasters.
Luckily, I've watched the wholething and have many things to
maybe say about it, if I canremember, because I'm sick.
But I want to know what'd youthink of the creature?

Speaker 2 (01:09):
The creature was very difficult to understand.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
Yeah, right.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
Like I like how it has a bunch of arms and legs.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
It's just like something happened to how it
swings around the bridge.
That was kind of cool, that wasrad and apparently, like they
didn't intentionally like cominginto the movie, they didn't
intentionally have it swingingeverywhere, it was like whenever
they got to these locations.
It's got all those arms it justgot Well when it got to like
these locations, they'rerealizing like, well, how will
this thing move around, likethese bridges and stuff?

(01:38):
And they're like, oh well, itprobably like be able to swing.
It's got these long tails andthings like that and I'm like
man king kong's, that's that'show you know.
You're like, you're, you're infor a good time, because this is
directed by bong joon-ho, who'sdone movies like memoirs of a
murder, um, parasite, the oscarhe's an oscar winner best

(01:59):
director and stuff.
The movie's great, um, but thisis the first movie I saw by him
because you know, I'm likemonster movie, oh, and it's like
in a foreign language.
I didn't know it was korean atthe time and then I was like
holy shit.
I love foreign language monstermovies because they're always
like wacky and cool, likethey're deeply sad but then also

(02:19):
like very funny at the sametime.
Yeah, uh, I know bong joon-ho'slike loves dark humor and he's
very good at it.
The time I know Bong Joon-holoves dark humor and he's very
good at it they're surrounded byskeletons.
What do you want to eat?
A beer, a cold beer?
It's like, okay, lookingdirectly at the camera almost.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
I love getting insights into Korean culture.
It's so interesting, it's sodifferent.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
And it's also nice to see that they can also be
completely.
Yeah, it's so interesting, yeah, it's so different, and it's
also nice to see that that youknow they can also be completely
lied to about things likethey're.
I'm trying not to word thisright.
Cause I don't want people to belike, oh yeah, like coronavirus
.
That was all fake.
But I just mean like you know.
If people like you know, Idon't know what I'm trying to

(03:03):
say.
All of a sudden I took myselfin a hole.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
Here are you talking about when he's talking to the
police about his daughter beingalive and calling him yeah, and
stuff like that, where it's justlike they just don't believe it
.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
They're just like why didn't you tell anybody?
And they're like I did.
Nobody's listening.
Y'all just want to work on mybrain because you think there's
a virus, even though there is novirus.
That was, uh, it's like what ascary moment, right, you're just
completely surrounded by peoplewho aren't going to believe you
and it's just like what are youguys?

Speaker 2 (03:29):
talking about it was kind of acting like a crazy
person, man yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
But he, he didn't get enough protein.
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
I just grew up eating cup noodles and cookies and
beer.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
Yeah, yeah, man, you know, also watching this, like
them in their little shack andcreating their like dinner and
stuff, I'm like man.
It just seems like they justeverything's just noodles and
they just pour hot water andeverything and that's all their
food.
It looks so good, I knowespecially at the end when he
was like scooping the rice and Iwas like I want some plain ass
white rice right now, becausethat's my favorite type of rice

(04:06):
Plain-ass white rice, plain-asswhite, anyways.
But yeah, I kind of love thedesign of the creature.
It really does look like theymishmashed like five different
fish.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
Yes, what does it do with the mouth?
Was it like a squid beak?

Speaker 1 (04:20):
That's what it kind of looks like, doesn't it?
With like weird round teeth?
Yeah, it's like if a fish had asquid beak.
It's not hard, it's just kindof squishy looking.
The eyes are just.
It almost looks like it haddeep water eyes like fish that
don't get sunlight, a lot ofsunlight, yeah.
It's got variations.

(04:40):
It looked like a little bit ofa frog in tadpole.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
It was slowly coming out of the tadpole form so if we
pour a bunch of formaldehyde onourselves?
Yeah, this happened for us.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
You know what.
Let's just get straight intosome facts, because this is my
favorite.
So the opening scene wasinspired by a true event, so
like the scientist oh.
So in 2000, a mortician inSeoul right Seoul, under the
employment of the US Air Force,ordered his workers to dump
embalming fluid down the drain.

(05:13):
All in all, 120 liters werewashed into the Han River
raising the toxicity level.
When Bong saw this case, he feltit would make a suitable
beginning to his monster story.
Details in the opening sayingthe motivation being obsessed
with dust on the bottles, to beprecise were based on actual
event.

(05:33):
Jesus Fuck, that's what I loveabout the beginning.
It's like these bottles aredusty.
It's ruined, it's like they'renot open Like you.
They're not open like this.
You could probably still use it.
It seems like an American thingto do, right?

Speaker 2 (05:48):
that's when you quit, I think, right yeah, that's
when you're like you can, I'mout, but I love how, like the
two supposedly Americans thatare in the film, one is this OCD
embalmer guy yeah, one guy'scompletely crazy, wonky guy, and
then the other one's likeAmerican hero, oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
But then you also got the other one.
Whenever he's in, like he getscaught again and he's about to
get, like brain fluid pulledfrom his brain.
You got the one scientistthat's kind of got a wonky eye.
That guy um, he's actually froma lot of uh, robert zemeckis
films.
Oh cool, yeah, he's, he's verydistinct looking.

(06:33):
You can't forget him wheneveryou see him cool, this guy, it's
crazy, um, but yeah, and it'slike it almost feels like he's
gonna be like the first personthat believes him and then, all
of a sudden, oh, this guy isinsane.
Also, by the way, there is novirus that we can tell, but
we're going to keep saying itand keep doing operations on
people till we figure it outwhat.

(06:54):
Yeah, oh God, did you see thatpart?

Speaker 2 (06:58):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
We'll wing it.
It's all right, I'll cut all ofit out.
Um so, one of the writers orproducers, uh, mentions that the
tradition of withholding themonster in typical monster
movies and the fact that bongcompletely breaks this tradition
.
Bong mentions how much he hatesthis tradition and jumped at
the chance to show his creaturefully and early.
This also got that aspect ofthe film out of the way, so the

(07:22):
audience could focus on theimpact that the creature has on
the family.
Love when they just show thecreature Right.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
Yeah, as they start off hard.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
Yeah, it's just like that opening scene is great,
though.
Right, the monster attack.
Hell yeah, I was just runningaround the river there, yeah
they're all just like pollutingthe river.
It's like hey eat this.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
They're Throwing the trash at it.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
Yeah, what do we do?
Throw the trash and it's, Ijust feel like it's definitely
like an allegory of just likestop polluting and throwing
stuff in water.
We have to stop doing itBecause, like you know, they
throw one and it eats it, andthen they all start throwing it
and then the monster's like fuckyou, Eating you instead, which
is great Trashing my river, bro.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
Yeah, to be fair, that river was probably pretty
dirty anyway, yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
Yeah, oh, it looked murky as fuck, it was just gray.
I was like I'd rather get inthe sewer water at that point.
It looked disgusting.
So I'm talking about like thelittle kids that are like in the
middle of the, like the twobrothers that are looking for
food in the middle of the movie,then the one that at the end

(08:38):
that ends up living with the oneguy.
So Bong notes that it's nearlyimpossible to translate to
Western society.
It is a looter culture in Koreaof young kids stealing food.
Yeah, they call it like seori orsomething like that.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
S-E-O-R-I Is it just stealing food.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
Yeah, so like, typically it's mail-ins of some
kind, not as a criminal act butas a mischievous act.
Oh, that's fun.
Yeah, if the children were werecaught, they would not be
arrested or turned into theauthorities, but scolded for
their actions.
Bong included this phrase inthe film to create something of
a connection between gang do andthe two boys, as if he sees
something of himself in them.

(09:15):
This is important at the end ofthe film when gang do goes to
the younger brother after thecreature has been killed.
Also, sorry for my for mypronunciation, I didn't practice
it but I do not have the energyto do it right today and I'm
sorry, but yeah, I thought thatwas very interesting.
I was like, oh, because I justthought you know Americans like,
oh, this is these poor kidsthat need food, whatever.

Speaker 2 (09:37):
Yeah, like don't.
They're not a problem that hasto be eradicated.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
They're just like little rascals I mean, and you
know, when the little kids like,hey, I'm gonna steal the money,
the older kids like, no, don'tdo that, we'll go to jail for
that.
This, we're fine, yeah, yeah.
So I was like, oh, that'sinteresting, it was cool.

Speaker 2 (09:55):
Here, they just put you in prison for 75 years I
love like korean monsters, justthey're so fucking wacky and
crazy.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
Oh man, there's so many great like I guess eastern,
like yes films and stuff likethat that have there's one it's
I can never remember.
It's like something about west.
It has so many.
It's so wacky and like over thetop and there's so many
creatures in it.
It's so good I have to.
I should have done that as mydouble feature.
Damn, I'd have to remember thewild west I think it's like Once

(10:24):
Upon a Time in the East or theWest, something like that, I
don't know.
So though Bong Joon-horecognizes the satire and
political commentary in the Hostabout America, he doesn't view
it as an overly anti-Americanfilm.
Tony Raines remarks on thesocial tension between American
cinema and Korean cinema.

(10:45):
He also goes on to mention thehost as being the highest
grossing film in South Koreanhistory, that it was able to out
Hollywood, hollywood, nice.
So I guess they didn't like goin like being like, oh, fuck
America or anything.
Yeah, I never got that.
They just kind of use it as a Idid, especially towards the end
, when they're just like, oh,you know he's about to turn off

(11:08):
the TV and the news program'sgoing on in the background.
So like I watched it a fewtimes because you know they're
talking while the TV's on in thebackground.
I was trying to like listen towhat it says and it was just
saying that it was justmisinformation about the virus
and I'm like, oh shit.
Well about the virus and like,oh shit, well, it seemed to be
you guys leading that this was avirus.
Yeah, it was, or they're justtrying to.

(11:28):
It sounded like they're tryingto put blame on the south korean
government for usingmisinformation about the thing.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
It's like well, we had your guy, yeah, being the
one that says I kind of made itup.
Yeah, it was interesting, welllike.
So the whole thing with the,with all the worms in their
backs, was not even real,because no one ever got it
except that American guy, yeah,that one dude yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
So he probably got it from something else.
Could have been something hewas working on in the military.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
Working with bot flies.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
Yeah, could have been , because then, like the main
character, he's like oh, I'mitching, I'm itching, I must
have the virus, and like nothingever comes from it he's like
something's in my back.
It feels like it's wiggling.
Yeah, um has a tail.
Yeah, so you know, we haven'treally done that many foreign
language films other than Ithink what like godzilla that

(12:18):
was about it and princessmononoke but that's animated, so
it's always over the top.
It's an animated film, um.
But so can you tell when inforeign films, when they're good
actors, I think?
So I mean, I think they're goodactors in this, but it
definitely seems like, you know,whenever they get exacerbated,

(12:39):
it seems like over the top,especially for like um.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
And maybe it's just because, you know, I don't know
the language sure, yeah, I thinkthe language barrier is a huge
thing and the translation.
Some things get lost intranslation, so you don't yeah
like how there's words for theyhave words for emotions and
things that we've, we just don'thave yeah, so trying to
translate that into english isreally tough about because I

(13:04):
know every time I've watchedlike foreign films, I'm always
like, man, that was really good.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
Even like if it's I've watched like considered a
bad movie, like a foreign film,I'm like I have no idea if it's
good acting or not.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
They're very.
They're very expressive ontheir face, so it makes me feel
like it's good Immediately puton your beret and pull out your
cigarette.
We, this is now.
I'm cultured, yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:28):
I like to think I did get cultured through movies.
Throw me that baguette.
Um, you got.
Anything else you want to talkabout at the beginning?

Speaker 2 (13:37):
nah, I'm not trying to rush it.
I don't think so.

Speaker 1 (13:38):
I just it was fun, yeah it's like a fun little and
then also it gets like reallyheartbreaking at the end.

Speaker 2 (13:47):
Yeah, that Mars, that monster like why was he barfing
up people?

Speaker 1 (13:50):
So I think he was like he was.
He was getting he's kind ofnesting, collecting, collect
food, so essentially he wasgrabbing people, taking them to
his little home and then he waseating them later.
Oh, eating them later he's likesuck them up and they eat them.
So he's I don't know what typeof fish does that, but yeah, I
don't think fish do that.
I just, you know, I just kindof wish, like I wish they'd

(14:12):
continue and like did a sequeland another fish comes back, but
this time it's good, like dothe Godzilla route and then you
have, and they team up to fightthings.
That'd be sick.
Then it's just like oh, it'sKorean, godzilla, it's just
monsters, all times differentmonsters, yeah.
I would totally fuck with that.
I mean not really.
They'd probably end up ruiningit at that point.
Yeah, probably.
It's like the Godzilla movies,like we're getting good and then

(14:35):
they got bad.

Speaker 2 (14:36):
I wonder if they have a version of like 13 kind of
thing, but with monsters andthey all get out, that'd be rad,
just stuck in a house with allthese little monsters, Just like
the famous super scary monsters.
That'd be awesome.

Speaker 1 (14:50):
Oh yeah, like the universal monsters type thing.
Yeah, that'd be really cool.
Alright, bro, let's hop intothe film.
So in 2000, an Americanmilitary pathologist played by
Scott Wilson he's in WalkingDead.
He's like the old man inWalking Dead, yeah.

(15:10):
Yeah, he's in a lot of FrankDarabont movies the Mist and
things like that.
Yeah, he's commanding areluctant Korean assistant to
violate protocol by dumping over200 bottles of formaldehyde
down the drain leading to theHan River.
It's wild.
They're so worried about duston a bottle.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
It's like you're not cleaning these bottles.

Speaker 1 (15:30):
I think he's fucking lost his mind.
How about you fucking clean thebottles dude?
I think it's just this ideathat you know people love to
just waste.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
Throw out the shit.
God so many bottles when he'sdumping them in there and it's
smoking.

Speaker 1 (15:45):
You might as well just take the bottles and just
throw them straight into theriver anyway, might as well add
some glass on it.

Speaker 2 (15:51):
you know, maybe the monster would have eaten it, and
died.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
So over the next few years there are sightings of a
strange amphibious creature inthe waterways.
You got the two fishermen thatpick up the little mug and
they're like, Ooh, this is weird.
It's like why didn't you killit?
You could have just killed it,Then you'd have been fine, it
all been good.

Speaker 2 (16:09):
Well, does that mean, that there's?

Speaker 1 (16:10):
like lots of them in the river.
No, I think it was just the onehe just happened to see and
grab it.
I guess it was tiny at thattime.
That's what I was thinking poleor something.
God damn, I don't know if theon river has a bunch of frogs in
it, I don't know.
Um, then you got the manjumping, which apparently is uh,
was like a big thing on thatbridge.

(16:31):
Yeah, suicides, yeah, they lovesuicide.
It doesn't seem tall enough tokill you.
It really didn't seem it's notlike the golden gate bridge
where it's like very tall.

Speaker 2 (16:40):
Yeah, you're not gonna hit maximum velocity all
the way down I remember watchingthe um mythbusters episode
where they're.

Speaker 1 (16:51):
I guess there was a myth about if you drop like
something heavy under you, it'llbreak the water, so that if you
fell afterwards you wouldsurvive.
How did that work?
So they had, like you know,buster, their test dummy.
They dropped him but they had a, a sledgehammer underneath them
, because it's supposed to besomething as small as that could
work.
It did not.
But anyways, this man is likeoh, do you guys like?
These two guys are runningafter this man.

(17:12):
He's about to jump and they getthere and he's like oh, did you
guys see that?
And then he ends up jumping.
Everybody's like I don't knowwhat you're talking about.
You know, I actually just jump.
You're seeing crazy.
We're going to let this one go,yeah, but then we cut to six
years later.
And is it Seoul or Seoul?
It's pronounced Seoul, seoulPark Gang-do has fallen asleep

(17:35):
while working at a small snackbar.
Also, this is the.
This is one of the leads fromParasite, yeah, yeah, who won
the Oscar that year.
He's great.
He's in like all of his moviesand he's really, really good.
Yeah, I like this guy.
His father, hee-bong, wakes himup.
This guy is constantly fallingasleep.
Did not get the proteinproperly.

(17:55):
Gang-do sees his daughter,hyun-seo, sure Right, who is
upset that their uncle came toparents day at school instead of
him himself.
Drunk ass uncle, yeah, and gangdo.
He's this lazy slob type of guy.
He is like blonde hair,apparently the director yeah, he
the director gave him that sothat he would look dumb.

(18:18):
oh yeah, it really worked,because I remember when I dyed
my hair bleach blonde for aHalloween costume and then like,
as it got longer and it wasjust like the bleach was kind of
like going away.

Speaker 2 (18:32):
It was kind of looking like this, so you went
all in on the bleach.
Yeah, you could have just usedthe spray.

Speaker 1 (18:37):
No, I didn't want to do that.
I wanted to go all in.

Speaker 2 (18:39):
Well, I was just like For gore.

Speaker 1 (18:41):
I mean fuck, fuck, why not?
I've never done anything likethat to my hair before.
I liked it until I didn't,until it got too long.
But it's like it had to getlong because if I cut it then
it'd be like frosted tips if Icut it too late.
Did you get a puka shellnecklace?
For it too no, I was going withRyan Gosling from Place Beyond
the Pines.

Speaker 2 (19:00):
Gosling didn, the costume didn't turn out that
great he's still going to have apuka shell.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
I could have done it, it would have worked.
I could have been Ken.
So we learned that she hatesher phone.
It never has signal and he'ssaving up to get her another one
.
I miss my old flip phone.
Yeah, you flip them open sohard, I know it's like wham.
It's like the noise sounds goodand youlam it shut.

(19:26):
Yeah, yeah, you can't really dothat anymore.

Speaker 2 (19:28):
No, you're just like there's not a lot of
satisfaction in hanging up realhard to make the noise yourself.

Speaker 1 (19:35):
I know I should, we should get an app that makes
that sound whenever you hang up.
Like I will say it's just like.
As technology like continues,it's just like the sounds of
things are so much worse becauseyou know there's nothing better
than like.
You know you got the rotaryphones when you like, slam those
down.
That was satisfying, it rings alittle bit and then it went

(19:57):
yeah, oh, I gotta call 9-1-1, oh, I got to call 911.

Speaker 2 (20:04):
The nine is the longest one.

Speaker 1 (20:06):
Dang it, I'm going to die.
It's terrible.
If you got kidnapped and youhad one of those phones You'd be
like damn, I'm going to wake mykidnapper up.
So Heebong gives Gangdo anorder delivered to some
customers because Gangdo atepart of his customer's food.

Speaker 2 (20:24):
That was awesome.
Yeah, and what is this?
Is like a dried squid, that isgrilling.
Yeah, it's like a dried it'ssquid jerky, I don't know, and
he just takes a big bite of itsleg?

Speaker 1 (20:34):
yep, I guess, and that's like the best part or
something.

Speaker 2 (20:37):
God if, I don't know what to think.

Speaker 1 (20:40):
I mean, I've had calamari, but I'd love to eat
like a whole squid like that Idon't know it just I've never.
I thought it was just like apiece of paper no, no, it is, I
guess, like once every take allthe squid goo out of it.

Speaker 2 (20:53):
That's what it looks like.

Speaker 1 (20:54):
I don't know I'm sure it's like a specific type of
squid, I know.
I kind of wish I had this likeon and then, like every time
something popped up culturallythat I didn't know someone would
pop up.

Speaker 2 (21:07):
And, by the way, this is, this is what this is and
this is why they do that.
That would be helpful.

Speaker 1 (21:13):
Yeah, but that's why I like watching like foreign
films like this because like, oh, you're just really getting a
culture you don't ever see, sothey should all start with a
history lesson.
Yeah, exactly so.
His sister is a nationalmedalist archer named joe um and
his brother is an alcoholicformer activist named eel eel.
Yeah, he's, uh, he he'sactually probably like the

(21:35):
coolest guy in the movie I lovethat guy I'll actually love the
brother and sister.
They're really great.
I love them.
I love like whenever because wesee her doing at this point a
little bit of archery and likewhenever she pulls the bow and
then shoots it.
She just likes to let it dangleand I'm like that's fucking
cool.

Speaker 2 (21:51):
Those bows are made?
Yeah, I think they're they, Ithink they're like competition
bows, cause they have to likeit's kind of like a disarm like
thing, yeah thing, yeah, so youknow it's safe to put like I
don't know she, she fuckingcrushed.

Speaker 1 (22:07):
It's fucking cool, yeah.
So, uh, while gang do isdelivering food to some
customers, he sees a crowd alongthe han river.
They witness a huge creaturehanging from the wanhoi bridge
which then jumps into the water.
It's pretty cool, like man.
How crazy would it be?
I?
thought it was gonna be like aperson like an egg, yeah like a
cocoon yeah, it kind of lookslike that, but then you just
slowly see it like I guess he'sjust like oh man, people are

(22:29):
noticing me.
I guess I better go say hi.
Just like slowly drops in andpeople are like whoa.

Speaker 2 (22:36):
I thought it was going to be like a mothra.

Speaker 1 (22:39):
Yeah, sprout wings, that'd be awesome so at first it
seems like the creature hasswam away, encouraging the
public to bait it back with food.
Moments later, the creaturerises out of the river and runs
amok.
It's just like they're allthrowing food and they're
looking at where they'rethrowing it and then, like one
gang dude like turns his head.

(23:00):
And then you just see like it'ssuch a good shot because it's
like, oh, what the hell's goingon?
It's just happening.
It's very surprising, I feellike.

Speaker 2 (23:09):
First, time you watch it.
It was kind of like thismonster.
It's just now.
It's probably the first timeit's come up out of the water.
Yeah, it seems like, becauseit's not eating everyone around
it and just destroying everyone.
It's just kind of knocking themover.

Speaker 1 (23:23):
yeah, it seems like it hasn't perfected it yet.
He's probably just been likeeating fish and things like that
, yeah.

Speaker 2 (23:31):
This is going to be way more fun and easier.

Speaker 1 (23:33):
Yeah, so this ain't just like it's.
It almost feels like a baby.
Yeah, it's small, like I wonderif it would get gotten bigger
because as it's running andattacking people, it's like
falling and stumbling and likerolling around on like the hills
and it's pretty great.
You got um.
Yeah, it's like kills a numberof people.
You got Gang Do, an Americanman attempting to kill the
creature with a metal pole whydon't they just run away?

(23:58):
well, so it's, you know, I guessit's like the American heroism
of it, where it's like, oh, wehave to do something, and then
the gang dudes is like rightnext to him.
So he's like I guess I'll help,and plus you have all those
people, and what a great idea.

Speaker 2 (24:13):
Like all those people that run into that building and
, of course, the other side'slocked and it goes in there with
them.

Speaker 1 (24:19):
I know it's like, oh shit, it's like damn.
They're all like clamoring toget out.
Yeah, it's like hell, it'scrazy, um.
But yeah, the american isseriously injured and they only
succeed to anger it and start,and it starts pursuing gang do,
gang do, grabs the girls, oh.
And then, uh, the father andthe daughter of gang do, um,

(24:40):
they're like watching themedalist thing and it ends up
that she got his sister got onbecause she hesitates A bronze.
Yeah, she hesitates, that's herthing.
We're building up story, baby.
And then all of a sudden, theystarted like she walks out,
she's like what's going on outhere?
And then like everybody'srunning around, and then he
grabs her hand and they startrunning and they fall.

(25:01):
And then he picks up anotherhand without looking and it
starts running.
It's like, oh no, it's not mydaughter.
And then he gets picked up, putit in the mouth and then swims
away kind of wraps her up withthe tail and then carries her
around yeah, and then yeah, justgoes to the other side of the
Han.
River finishes off that one dude, yeah and then takes her into

(25:23):
the water and he jumps in andit's like what are you doing,
dude?
You can't swim that far, yeah,and that's it.
Um, and then we kind of cut toa mass funeral for the victims
of the creature.
Um, you got the whole familythere now.
Uh, gang, do he bong not nameill and nam joe?
Uh, mourn very dramatically,very, very so hard.

(25:43):
That's where I'm like.
So that's definitely supposedto be a little funny, right?

Speaker 2 (25:47):
I don't know If there's dark comedy in this.

Speaker 1 (25:49):
It's got to be a little funny.

Speaker 2 (25:51):
It was a little funny , yes.

Speaker 1 (25:52):
It's so over the top Whenever they all fall down and
they're all like wiggling around, get high.
That's one of those thingswhere I'm like is that
considered?
Is that considered?
Is that a normal amount ofgrieving?
Is that, is that supposed to befunny?
Is that just like over the topor is that normal?
That's what I'm talking about.
Whenever it's like how can youtell when people are good actors

(26:13):
and it's like when you hirepeople to mourn a funeral.

Speaker 2 (26:16):
Yeah, they're just throwing themselves on the
caskets and shit I want yeah,put in my will.

Speaker 1 (26:21):
Make sure to hire a bunch of people to really cry at
my funeral.
Hire someone to motorboat mewhen in the while I'm laying
there, you don't have to hireanybody, I'll just do it, and I
love it whenever they're justlike crying so much.
You got all these people likeuh, filming them and taking
pictures of them.

Speaker 2 (26:40):
They're like get out of here yeah, what's your
fucking problem?

Speaker 1 (26:42):
hey, but that's like a real thing.
Maybe even they're like whatget out of here?
Yeah, what's your?

Speaker 2 (26:44):
fucking problem, hey, but that's like a real thing.
Maybe even they're like whatthe fuck are these guys?

Speaker 1 (26:48):
These people are crazy River.
They seem like they're have avirus or something.
So then all of a sudden, agovernment representative comes
in, he slips.
That was awesome.
He's like, oh God damn it.
Time to make?
Yeah, and they're.
Essentially, they arrive andthey're going to forcefully
quarantine all the people whohave been in direct contact with

(27:10):
the creature, including Gangdoand his family.
He's like I got blood on me,yeah, and so the South?
Yeah.
It's like, dude, what the fuck?
Don't say that.
But he's not smart.
So the South Korean governmentannounces that the creature is
not only a direct in a directdanger, but also the host of a
deadly unknown virus, which isthe formaldehyde from the drain.

(27:31):
I'm assuming if it was anactual virus.

Speaker 2 (27:33):
I mean, it's already a monster Like why do you have
to try to make it scarier?

Speaker 1 (27:37):
Yeah, I know.
Right, I mean you're just tryingto want people to go out there
and start like shooting at it,but it seems like, I don't know,
it's not that big of a monster.
If you got enough people toshoot it, I think it'd work.
Yeah Right.
And then we see, the Americanwho lost an arm to the creature
is discovered to be infectedwith it.
It's got a bunch of rashes,probably just has like gonorrhea

(27:57):
or something.
So while in quarantine inside ahospital, gang Doo receives a
phone call from his daughter,who is not dead but trapped
somewhere in the sewers by thecreature.
Too bad she didn't have abetter cell phone.

Speaker 2 (28:11):
It's all your fault.

Speaker 1 (28:13):
Thanks, dad, hope you feel guilty.
Yeah, it's like you know whatlittle kid.
I didn't have a cell phoneuntil I was like I was 19.
I was a junior.
I was the last one in my schoolto probably get a cell phone.
Yeah, man, I remember it was sofun when I got my phone because
I was in a.
I was in drama at the time andI went to, uh, like I guess,

(28:35):
rehearse a play or whatever.
And then my parents picked meup and, um, I was just in the
back seat, they're in the frontseat, and they just like it's
like, oh, and it's my birthday,like happy birthday.
I was like, thanks, mom, dad,love you.
But then, uh, they just like Istart hearing a phone ringing in
the back seat in the bottom,like what is that?
and they're like I don't knowwhat's back there, and I was

(28:57):
like, oh my god, it was a razorflip phone ah, it was so.
I was like, damn there's theygot so creative with that.
That was such a good moment.
I'll never forget it in my life.
Mom, if you're listening, thankyou.
I'm sick, I'm going to getemotional.
But she ends up getting caughtoff on her phone as her battery

(29:19):
runs out.
Gang Doo tries to explain thisto the others, but his protests
go ignored by all except hisfamily Because they go to talk
to a cop and he's like you'rebazonkers, dude.
We don't believe you, you'resick, or something.

Speaker 2 (29:33):
Yeah, he's not wrong.
I mean, the way that he wasacting was kind of nuts, yeah.

Speaker 1 (29:38):
but then you also have like the other family
members being like dude, like ifshe's still out there, let us
go get her.
But then it's like dude, likeif she's still out there, let us
go get her.
But then it's just like well,you're infected, we can't let
you go.
But it's like, I don't know.
Nobody believed him.
I don't know why.
But then, like here, they haveno evidence that this monster is
just killing everyone.

Speaker 2 (29:56):
right, right just kill a few people.
Yeah, at least made them bloody.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
Yeah, ate a bunch of them because it didn't kill an
american, just ate his arm.
Yeah, but it tasted bad.
Yeah, too much fatty foods init, too much fried foods and
like.
Maybe that's why he liked theKorean people that's like mmm
ramen.
Oh no, because that's all wesee him eat in the movie yeah or

(30:21):
squid.
I mean, if they're eating likesquid and stuff they'd be like
mmm, this is my favorite foodsquid.
I thought they would taste morelike a squid yeah, if you're
Korean and you taste like squid,let us know link in the
description and if we were beinginsensitive?

Speaker 2 (30:36):
we don't know sorry, I brought some human flesh, just
try it out we all taste likefried chicken and cows.

Speaker 1 (30:41):
So we cut to two men who are fumigating the streets.
They stop and are attacked bythe creature.
I love that the guy gets outwhile fumigating.
Gets out and immediately like,oh wait, there's like some money
in the ground.
It's like, did you see thatwhile driving?
But then the monster comes outof nowhere just like belly flops
on their car.

Speaker 2 (30:58):
Yeah, I thought I was going to jump out like the
shark.
Yeah, just grab him yeah.

Speaker 1 (31:06):
And the two men are taken to the sewer where they
are regurgitated.
You see that Hyunsoo has beenhiding in the hole in the walls
of the sewer, so that's whyshe's not getting eaten, which
is cool.

Speaker 2 (31:18):
He picked them all up .
Honestly, you don't really seeany of them get eaten.
Yeah, you don't really.

Speaker 1 (31:23):
The only time you see it.
You just see the monster comeup and just regurgitate bones at
one point, oh nice.
You slowly see there's no morebodies throughout the film in
there.
Oh, okay, so Yi-Bong Gang.
No more bodies throughout thefilm in there.
Okay, yeah, um, so he bong.
Oh, gang, do in the family tryto sell it.
Tell an officer that hisdaughter has called, but they
don't believe him.
They didn't decide to escapethe hospital to track down their

(31:45):
daughter.
Um, he bong.
Oh yeah, this is where.
How did they get out?
Um, he's just walking throughthe hallway and they started
running.
Yeah, that's right, they justjumped in somebody's car yeah,
they're pretending to walkthrough and like one's got
crutches, pretending thatthey're just like hurt patients
or whatever.
And then all of a sudden theystart running, they knock over
this nurse and the nurse is likehe tried to kill me.

(32:06):
He knocked me down, I'm goingto sue him.
And then you got the oneofficer that's like slow as fuck
, it's like barely even tryingto catch him.
At a certain point did theyhire the driver?
Yeah, so these are because hehad like a friend in like the
police and I guess theycontacted him they got like his
brother's people, sister's uncle, yeah, whatever yeah, um,

(32:28):
because then, like after theyescape, um, also we learned that
, uh, nam joe is very, which shereally is.
It's like, hey, girl, you seemfit, come on, let's pick up the
pace here.
You're barely running here.
It's more dramatic.
They all get in the car andthey're like where's she at?
She's like you're not hurt,what are you doing?

(32:48):
They all get away and then wecut to Heebong, who's getting
weapons in a map from these likegroup of men that are like it's
going to be $11,000 essentially, and it's all of his earnings,
yeah.
Does this seem like a group of,I guess like Korean gangsters, I
don't know they have like a.
It'll seem like they have achop shop and stuff like that

(33:09):
where they're at.

Speaker 2 (33:09):
Yeah, they live in like a what do you call those
Junkyard?
They live in like a what do?

Speaker 1 (33:14):
you call those Junkyard.
Yeah, like a junkyard typething.
I guess I'd just call it like achop shop or something, because
he's got all these cars andlike parts everywhere Like a
wall full of just junk andthey're just selling guns and
shit.

Speaker 2 (33:26):
Yeah, it's awesome.

Speaker 1 (33:27):
Yeah, except they just take his credit card.
Yeah, they fuck with him.
Yeah, it's like damn.
Yeah, it's like damn.
Well, don't worry, old man,you'll be dead soon.
$10,000 per map, yeah.
Or like a map was $500 of thesewers apparently.
Yeah, so yeah.
And then they're off to search.
They get stopped at acheckpoint where the district
officer questions him, he bong,gives him money and drives off

(33:52):
after questioning.
It's kind of like a tensemoment but then, like it was
kind of resolved in a way oflike the guy's like here's a
bucket of quarters, it's all Igot, see you later.
It's like they're like okay, Iguess he can just go.
Like.
It's kind of a weird part ofthe movie, um, and then while
gang do and his family aresearching the sewers in the
streets, uh, for their daughter,they believe they hear the

(34:14):
creature and shoot at it.
But then we see it's just twobrothers looking for food, cause
he got like the little little,super little kid and the guy
looks like he might be like 16or 19.
Anywhere, from.

Speaker 2 (34:25):
There.

Speaker 1 (34:26):
Kind of just came out of nowhere.
Yeah, they're just like oh, whyare these people in here?
All of a sudden they live here.
Um, they live here, so theybelieve they.
So Sijin and Siju Joe areattacked by the creature while
looking for food.
They end up going to the samelike food shack thing that is
owned by the family.
Yeah, so they.

(34:47):
But while they're eating foodthis is where we get.
It's like, oh, little kidstrying to steal money.
But they're like no, we don'tdo that, sorry.
Yeah.
And then they, they walk outand they're fleeing, but a
monster ends up eating both ofthem.
The creature then takes the twobrothers back to the sewers
where it regurgitate both ofthem, with only C Joe coming out

(35:09):
alive.
Can see you, damn, I'm gettingso tired of just not being.
There's nothing worse than notbeing sure.
If I'm getting so tired of justnot being.
There's nothing worse than notbeing sure if I'm saying it.
Right sees that C Joe is aliveand they both hide out of sight
from the creature.
She's got a little friend, nowget in my hole.
It's like it gives you a reasonto like live if you give
someone someone to protectcovered in mucus.

(35:30):
ew, yeah, like her face is likecompletely covered in black at
that point, damn.

Speaker 2 (35:34):
But hey, and she so.
Do you think she made the callLike because does she have a?
Could she have just gotten aphone off one of the dead?

Speaker 1 (35:41):
people and called.
I think, well, she does likesearch everybody, but I think,
like the people getting broughtthere just don't have phones,
especially like the two brothers, because stand and like just
the brothers and dad, yeah,she's just she's there all of a
sudden.
That's like I have that in mynotes.

(36:02):
Ok, well, we'll get there.
Oh, I know I don't have that inmy notes, but I do talk about
it.
I will get there.
So, and then we see the family.
They're out and about again.
The family stops at their ownfood, stand to rest and eat
while eating.
They have a weird moment wherethey act like the daughter is
with them and start to feed her.
Yeah, I think what I read wasBong Joon-ho was like he wanted

(36:31):
a moment where, like, the familyis together.
It's like a nice, like peaceful, sweet moment to show like, oh,
they're actually a really nicefamily.
It's just kind of a moment ofrelief, I guess sure, just for
the film.
And it is kind of like thisweird, like dreamlike situation
because they're all eating, thenall of a sudden he like pops up
.
Then you're like, oh, is thisthis gang dude kind of seeing it
, and then they all startfeeding her well, they're
worried that she doesn't havefood down there yeah, but it

(36:52):
made me think that the monsteris like replicating people.
No, no, no no.

Speaker 2 (36:56):
And like causing you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (36:58):
Yeah, Like sending out clones.
Yeah, it's almost kind of likea daydream for the entire family
, like what they want so bad inthis situation.
They just want her to be backso they can eat in their tiny
ass.
Little shack man, I would loveto be in a shack like that.
Work there, live there Full ofsnacks, watch TV there, just
kind of take a nap.
Nobody's around.

(37:19):
Seems like a nice little cozyhouse Full of food Next to a
stinky river, yeah, so the nextmorning Heebong tells Namil and
Namjo that Gangdu can't helpbeing the way he is because he
has.
He had a miserable childhoodbecause he bong was never around
and he never had food, which hehypothesizes affected gang news

(37:42):
, physical health and mental,mentally disabled.
Him turned his hair blonde.
Yeah.
So I guess he just like atnights he would just go around
and steal like vegetables andstuff like that, so he never got
the protein, so his braindidn't fully function.
Okay, but yeah, I thought thatwas.
Uh, you know, when I firstwatched it I was like, oh,
that's what's wrong with him.
There is something wrong withhim.

(38:04):
He's not just like like areally bad like person at being
able to do anything.
Um so as he Bong, finishes hisstory, gang dudes like, ah, it's
this great shot.
Sees the creature soaking upthe rainwater.
I love it, cause he's liketelling the story and then he
like turns, and then gang dudesjust like staring right at him

(38:26):
and it's like Ooh, creepy.
But then you see that he's likestaring out the window and he's
like the creature sees us.

Speaker 2 (38:31):
Jesus, not looking at him at all.
Doesn't it have its head justlike, ah, like a turkey?

Speaker 1 (38:35):
Yeah, it's like looking straight up at the sky,
but its mouth is wide open andyou can kind of see it's just
drinking the rainwater whichwill come into play later at the
end of the film.
But I love the shot.
It's a great shot of just thecreature at night.
But then it cuts out outside ofit and you see Gang-do and
Hee-bong.
There's like a little crack andyou see both of the faces and I

(38:56):
was like fuck, jun-bong Ho issuch a good director.
So then all of a sudden theyjust decide to fire at the
creature but it attacks backLike, knocks over their little
shack.
Hell yeah, they think theykilled it because they like
shoot it a bunch and then it'slike falling over and it's like
and shoot it again, but it'sstill alive.

(39:18):
It runs away and they run afterit, firing at it, then escapes
into the water.
See, it is killable.
Two like three people withshotguns were able to kill,
almost kill it they should allhave guns.
I know, like what does this armydo?
Come on man um gang, dobelieving his show they have the
army there.

Speaker 2 (39:35):
But then they called them, they recalled them because
of the water toxicity oh yeah,is that what it?

Speaker 1 (39:40):
is okay, I think so that might be it.

Speaker 2 (39:41):
Then it was like swarming with the soldiers and
they're like no water sucks, getout of there.

Speaker 1 (39:45):
Never mind, we hate water.
Damn the army, they should havegot the navy.
Um, so yeah, gang do, believinghe has shells left in his
shotgun, gives his gun to hisfather, at his request, so that
he can attempt to hold off thecreature buying his family some
time.
As Hee Bong is about to fire atthe creature, gang Doo realizes

(40:05):
he has miscounted his shots yousee him like counting on his
hand, like how many shots andthat his shotgun is empty.
He said he had two bullets left.

Speaker 2 (40:13):
Yeah, but then he had none.
He sucks at counting, yeah,shouldn't trust that.

Speaker 1 (40:16):
As he looks back to his father, Heebong is attacked
and killed by the creature.

Speaker 2 (40:20):
Kind of just looked like he knocked him over and he
hit his head.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (40:24):
He got attacked and killed, I guess.

Speaker 2 (40:26):
It kind of just felt more like a push out of the way.

Speaker 1 (40:29):
Yeah, that's the thing, the creature doesn't seem
to really know what it's doingquite yet.
It's like I just know I gothurt so I'm just going to hit
all these people.
He doesn't have claws.
He's got a whippy-ass tailthough.
So Gang-Do runs back to hisfather.
But what we saw earlier whilethey were attacking was the army

(40:49):
and some scientists gettingcloser to him.
But the army and scientistsarrive and capture Gang-Do
because he didn't run away,because he's so sad about his
father.
Damn, I hate to see it.
Then you got Nam-Jo.
Il and Nam-Jo are able to hidebut are separated from each
other while Gang-Doo is takenaway, screaming in agony over
his father's death.
I really like the father.

(41:10):
It was really a bummer when hedied.
Yeah, seemed like he turned hislife around.
You know from the story he toldearlier.
So we see on the news that thegovernment will use Agent Yellow
to try to kill the creature,that there's a bunch of protests
over the fact they're usingAgent Yellow.

Speaker 2 (41:27):
It's just.
It's not like a spy, it's notlike a dude named Agent Yellow
no.
It's like I think they isn.

Speaker 1 (41:34):
This is a real thing, though, Agent Orange.
Agent Orange I guess AgentYellow is like, maybe less I
don't know, I don't knowanything about Agent Yellow.
It's not a war crime, maybe,yeah, it definitely probably is
a war crime, but they're usingit against non-humans.
I don't know if you canconsider that a war crime.

Speaker 2 (41:50):
No, but I'm saying like Agent Orange was kind of a
war crime thing that we did.
Yeah, and a lot of people keptgetting cancer and dying from it
.

Speaker 1 (41:59):
Yes, Throughout time.
So Nam-il meets a friend, meetswith a friend who's going to
help locate Hyun-soo's phonecall from earlier.
I love it because it kind ofbecomes almost like a noir
little spy movie for a second.
Because he meets the guy, theygive him a new suit, they're
meeting in back alleys, it'sgoing to take him to this like

(42:19):
tech company, I guess, to tracethe call.
And then, like he walks intoanother room and there's like a
group of, I guess of policeofficers or whatever like, ready
to capture this guy and he'slike, hey, it's like, be careful
, this guy's an escape artist.
So he's like be careful, thisguy's an escape artist.

(42:40):
Um, so yeah, but no, because hegot out of a hospital.
Uh well, I guess he's just likethroughout his time like just
knowing the guy.
I guess he's just able to getout of places fast, slippery guy
, um, but yeah.
Then he's able to get thelocation of his sister or his uh
, nieces phone call and so heknows where they're at.
But then he like realizes likeoh shit, I'm being set up here

(43:00):
and like turns out all thelights by I don't know doing
something to electricity.
He's able to escape and then hejumps off a bridge and while
hurt jumping from a bridge,Nam-il texts, Nam-jo the
location.
Then we cut to Nam-jo, who'sbeen hiding in a little bridge,
Like cut out I guess, Like rightunder it.
Well, so she's like above thewater, right under the bridge,

(43:24):
and you know, you have the metallittle things that hold it up.
She's like hiding in a littlehole in it and I was like that's
so fucking rad, that was socool, it was a great shot.
All the shots from this part areso good.
It's very cinematic and I loveit.
We see that she's evadingpolice.
She's like hiding in the waterand like going across the wall

(43:45):
while the army people are rightthere.
It's very video gaming, it'sgreat.
Then she receives Nam-il's textand goes to search.
So while Nam-jo is searchingthrough the sewer.
She comes out across thecreature and tries to attack it
with her bow.
She hesitates.
Damn that's why you're a bronzemedalist not a gold medalist To

(44:05):
take the shot and the creatureknocks her down into a hole,
knocking her unconscious.
The creature, unable to reachher, continues running through
the sewers.
It's like damn, she could havedone it right then and there.

Speaker 2 (44:14):
I feel like most predators would just keep going
after the thing that theyalready knocked down, even if
it's stuck in a hole, I thinkit's just because it's like a
baby.

Speaker 1 (44:24):
It seems like it's immature, so it's just like ah
fuck it.

Speaker 2 (44:28):
That's how it talks.

Speaker 1 (44:31):
Oh, and I guess for the sounds of the creature they
actually did use an actor tomake all those sounds and stuff
and just trying to tweak thevoice and stuff.
That's cool yeah.

Speaker 2 (44:39):
I like the chicken.

Speaker 1 (44:40):
Yeah, from Alan Tudyk .
Yeah, so we should do anotherTudyk movie.
Yes, so, after being placed ina special medical facility, gong
Du is interrogated by twoscientists.
Medical facility Gongdu isinterrogated by two scientists
Interpreting his ravings abouthis still-alive daughter as a
product of an infection by thevirus, they decide to operate on

(45:01):
his brain in an effort toextract a sample's procedure
they deem necessary, as untilnow they have found no actual
trace of any virus.
I put in my notes wonky-eyedbitch, because this is where I
was talking about earlier, whereit's.
The American scientist is likewhy didn't you tell anybody?
Why haven't you communicated toanybody?

(45:22):
He's like what are you talking?
about I have and they're like ah, this is worse than I thought
it must be in his brain.
Then he goes and takes theKorean scientist aside and he's
like just to let you know thereis no virus.

Speaker 2 (45:38):
And then Gong Doo's like no virus.

Speaker 1 (45:40):
He was able to understand that and he's like no
virus.
And as he is being prepared forthe operation where he will be
stuck with a needle in his brain, we cut to.
Hyun Soo talks to the childthat survived earlier, talking
about what they will do whenthey get out.
They talk about food.
What would you eat, man?
I'm so hungry.
A cold beer, because I forgotto tell you.

(46:01):
Gang-do gave her a beer at thebeginning of the movie and she's
like she took a drink.
She's like it's too bitter, butnow she's hooked on the sauce.
All she wants is a beer.
Get a little funny bit, getsome levity in the situation.

Speaker 2 (46:21):
So what age do you let your kids try alcohol?
Because my oldest High school.

Speaker 1 (46:27):
I was.

Speaker 2 (46:28):
My oldest is 13.
And I let her take a teensy,weensy little sip of tequila,
just so that she would hate it.
That's actually a good idea.

Speaker 1 (46:37):
Because I knew she was going to hate it.

Speaker 2 (46:38):
Tequila is probably one of the worst things to let
someone try at the verybeginning and she just kind of
dipped her tongue in it and waslike ah, what if she just took
the shot?
And was just like damn.
She just grabs a lime that'ssmooth as shit.

Speaker 1 (46:53):
Put some salt on her hand.

Speaker 2 (46:55):
She does that, rolling the shot around her hand
.
Yeah, you just look at her.

Speaker 1 (47:02):
It's like you're grounded and I'm grounded.

Speaker 2 (47:03):
Everybody in this house is grounded right now Get
my phone so I could call thepolice on myself.

Speaker 1 (47:13):
I know, the first time I tried it, like my dad and
his friends.
They made like homemade wineGross.
Yeah, let's just say it doesn't.
It did not taste like wine, ittastes like straight like it
tasted like it was harder.

Speaker 2 (47:29):
I don't like homemade wine.

Speaker 1 (47:30):
The closest thing I could say is it tastes like
moonshine.
Yeah, that's pretty much it,and so that was the first thing
I drank and I was like whoa ifthis is alcohol no way, no
thanks.
So I never really drank alcoholuntil it was like I don't know I
think I was like 20 orsomething and like I stayed with
my friends in Murfreesboro andthey were like they were
drinking some Captain Morgan andthen I had some.

(47:52):
I was like, oh, this isn't thatbad actually.
Um, and then, like you know, Idrank like probably like three
coffee mugs of it.
I felt bad the next day becauseI didn't know how to like help
mitigate the hangover bydrinking water and stuff.
I just uh, I just felt reallybad the next day and had things

(48:12):
I was supposed to do.
It was a rough day.
Whoa, this is way better thansports.
Yeah, and you know, let us knowthe youngest you let your child
drink alcohol.

Speaker 2 (48:25):
Outside of the world.

Speaker 1 (48:26):
I will say we are from Tennessee.
Everybody's drinking constantly.
It's a rite of passage to letyour kid drink before they're 18
.

Speaker 2 (48:34):
It kind of makes me proud to give my child something
that they hate so that they'llnever do it again.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (48:42):
I mean you picked the right alcohol.

Speaker 2 (48:44):
If you were to give them some sweet white wine.

Speaker 1 (48:47):
I'd be like you've messed up.
Give them a Boone's Farm.
Like I said, you should just belike pour some rubbing alcohol
in a drink oh yeah, taste thislike this is alcohol this tastes
like brain damage, yeah anyway.
So back in the sewers, while thecreature is sleeping, yun-so

(49:09):
ties together clothes frombodies of the dead to create a
rope.
She successfully latches themakeshift rope to the top of the
drain, but the creature showsup and regurgitates bones and
starts to eat some of the deadbodies and then tries to eat
Hyunsoo, but they run into thehole and make it.

Speaker 2 (49:25):
You know what I like about bones.
You ever had bone broth?
There's like these packets.
You can get that.
You just dump it in the hotwater and stir it up.

Speaker 1 (49:33):
Yeah, it's kind of like it's like broth.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (49:35):
It's just broth.

Speaker 1 (49:36):
Yeah, it's so good, I've never had bone.
Well, I mean, maybe I have andyou're drinking bones.
Hell yeah, it makes my bonesextra bony Yep, it's like you
know.
It really sucks if there is agod.

Speaker 2 (49:57):
How you know he has no sense of humor.
If bone broth doesn't give youa massive boner.

Speaker 1 (49:59):
It's an aphrodisiac, it's like.
It's like guys, like I hear I'mgonna get, I'm gonna have sex
in a couple minutes.

Speaker 2 (50:05):
We should go out with our own bone broth.
Yeah, just put like monsterbones and like make it green or
something.

Speaker 1 (50:10):
Yeah, I'm sure there's some sort of animal bone
in the world that would makesomebody super horny.

Speaker 2 (50:16):
Yeah, like the rhinoceros horn.
Yeah, it just has to come froman endangered species.

Speaker 1 (50:21):
It just reminds me of the Office episode where
they're going to watch Glee atGabe's house and Andy like hates
Gabe and he like he learns,like oh yeah, this seahorse
powder or whatever is like anaphrodisiac and like makes you
like, oh yeah, this seahorsepowder or whatever is like an
aphrodisiac and makes you supervirile and masculine.
He drinks it and he throws upall night.

(50:42):
We're very close to thatepisode On our rewatch.
So we're back to Gangdu wholooks out of it.
Gangdu, he's almost likecomatose looking.
It's like after they took thebrain juice from his head and

(51:02):
the nurse has it in her hand.
He takes the needle, puts it upto the nurse's neck, is like
get me out of here.
Where's the card?
Give me all you got.

Speaker 2 (51:13):
I remember that part.
I just want to woke up.
Yeah, after he took the brainjuice.
Yeah, um, can you survivewithout brain juice?
I guess I just took a littlebit.

Speaker 1 (51:23):
I don't know this.
This whole part is like what?

Speaker 2 (51:26):
they're just like they just put a needle through
his skull and got it.

Speaker 1 (51:31):
It's like severance yeah, but it doesn't matter.
It's like a, it's a monstermaybe, so you shouldn't even
think about it really okay.
Well, yeah, I will continue notthinking about it.
Yeah, so he escapes andcontinues to search for his
daughter.
Namil wakes up the next morningwith a homeless man sitting
next to him.
They talk for a little bit, helike wakes up and he's like

(51:51):
where the fuck am I the?
homeless guy's like so I giveyou a bed and you don't even say
thank you.
He's like I'm great.
And then he starts like hetakes the homeless man's bag,
takes some bottle, empty bottles, starts putting them in the bag
.
He's like here's like somemoney for the, for the stuff,
and he like hits him over thehead with a glass bottle it's
like and he's like your moneydoesn't buy everything.
But then he's like you knowwhat?

(52:12):
I'll help you kill the monster,let's go.
And it's like who are?

Speaker 2 (52:15):
you.

Speaker 1 (52:16):
I like this guy, yeah .
And then they like they get ina taxi and they're driving and
then you hear on the radio thatthere's a lot of protests about
agent yellow and that they'regetting prepared to like dump it
into the water or whatever.
Fuck yeah.
So we see, gang do.

Speaker 2 (52:30):
He's running into the sewers, the Boston or like when
they turn the water green.

Speaker 1 (52:34):
Yeah, yeah, kind of wild that they do that.
What a kibble are they justputting food coloring?

Speaker 2 (52:42):
yeah it's just food coloring, as far as I know.
Is that like okay, it's gottabe safe?
Is that okay for?

Speaker 1 (52:47):
does it have to be?
I think, I think it has to be.
Can't you just like not drink abunch of food coloring and it?

Speaker 2 (52:52):
like makes you sick.
Why don't they just do tea likethey used to like the Lipton?

Speaker 1 (52:56):
tea, boston tea it'd be, way tastier sure fish would
love it.
Put some, put some nicechamomile tea.
All the fish are just like hell.
Yeah, brother, I'm fuckingsleepy dude, like a bunch of
fish rising from the top bottomwith their doilies.
Yeah, I can't wait to like theylegalize weed everywhere.

(53:17):
They start dumping weed in thewater.
Yes, everybody just swimming init.
Yes, that'd be great Fish comeup.
They start talking Like what up, brother, smokey, another.
So we see Hyun-seo waking up inthe sewer while the creature is
sleeping.
She attempts to escape.
She notices the creaturesleeping and the rope is hanging

(53:40):
right over him.
She takes a beer can, throws itat him and it doesn't wake up.
So she, she goes, she's goingto run up the monster to jump on
the rope.
She gets on it, she starts kindof climbing up, then all of a
sudden, like we hear the monster, and then she like stops.
It's really great, I love thispart, cause then she's just like

(54:03):
holding there and the rope, andthen she lets go and she's
still up in the air and it'slike no Great reveal.
But she's caught by thecreature.
The creature is seemingly stillsleeping, gently puts Hyunsoo
back on the ground, terrified.
She slowly attempts to hide,but the creature leaps at her
and Sejoo and swallows them bothand we're like no, they're dead
, but they taste pretty good.

Speaker 2 (54:23):
I mean, kids probably taste better than adults.

Speaker 1 (54:24):
I mean she had a spider on them.
What if the spider bit themonster in the tongue?

Speaker 2 (54:30):
It was like ew, ew, ew, that's all you gotta do.

Speaker 1 (54:33):
Catch a bunch of brown recluses, throw it on the
monster and that's it.

Speaker 2 (54:37):
And then you release a bunch of birds and they eat
the brown.
It's going to catch the brown.

Speaker 1 (54:42):
And then you have a bunch of hunters and they kill
the birds and then everything'sdead.

Speaker 2 (54:47):
You just release a bunch of bigger spiders that eat
the smaller spiders.

Speaker 1 (54:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (54:51):
Like radioactively.

Speaker 1 (54:52):
You get one of those like oh, what is it?
Australian giant ass fuckingspiders.

Speaker 2 (54:56):
Oh, like the trap door, the funnel web?
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (54:59):
Super poisonous ones.
They're the huge ones.
Oh, you're talking about the.
They're like wolf monster wolfspiders.

Speaker 2 (55:04):
Yeah, those things are not.
They ain't really thatdangerous, but like there's the
camelback bird-eating spider.
Oh, hell, yeah, my roommate hadin college those things are
fucking terrifying.
Your roommate seems like a coolperson that I wouldn't yeah
because it was always pushing onthe lid of the case trying to
get out.

Speaker 1 (55:20):
It's like a fucking facehugger.

Speaker 2 (55:20):
It's like testing it, like the Raptors from Jurassic
Park.

Speaker 1 (55:24):
I get it.
You walk in.
He's reading a book how to opendoors.
He's like hey, shut the door.
Were you born in a barn?
Yeah, has another girl spider?

Speaker 2 (55:33):
over.

Speaker 1 (55:34):
Hey, I put the sock on there.
I put the web on the floor,yeah.

Speaker 2 (55:41):
That was our rule.
Yeah, when we had girls over,everyone had their feet on the
floor.
Why?
Because you're not doing thesideways hustle.
What do you go like inconservative?

Speaker 1 (55:52):
college?
Yes, it sucked ass.
Anyway, what college did you goto?
Lipscomb, oh?

Speaker 2 (56:01):
I was already enrolled at UT and I was like
gonna go, and my parents werelike, listen, if you don't want
a huge financial burden, you'llgo where we want you to go.
That's true.
I was like okay it's a goodthing.

Speaker 1 (56:11):
I'm stupid, you didn't go to ut.
It sucks that you went tolipscomb but uh, yeah, ut, they
actually have a rule where nofeet are allowed on the floor.
Oh yeah, you're only supposedto be sideways, or on top, or on
bottom.
Hell, yeah, yeah, so, uh,gang-doo finally.

Speaker 2 (56:28):
I love this.

Speaker 1 (56:29):
Let's just go right back into it after that Gang-Doo
finally finds the sewers wherethe creature kept Hyun-Soo, but
the creature and Hyun-Soo arenot there.
As Gang-Doo climbs down intothe sewer, the monster passes
over him.
He sees Han Su's arm hangingout of the creature's mouth and
starts to chase after him.
It's like waving at him.

Speaker 2 (56:52):
It's because of the hand mouth thing.

Speaker 1 (56:54):
Yeah, and then the monster's like the princess is
another castle.

Speaker 2 (56:59):
It's inside of a different monster.

Speaker 1 (57:01):
As Gang Du is running after the creature, he comes
across Namjo and noticing thatit is heading towards the
protest of Agent Yellow, they goafter it together.
As Nam-il and the homeless menarrive at the protest and as the
creature attacks, agent Yellowis released because the creature
like comes out upon the land.
At that point, agent Yellow isreleased.

Speaker 2 (57:20):
It's like this giant like like smoke God, it's
terrifying yeah.

Speaker 1 (57:25):
And, like people are all around it are coughing up
blood and bleeding out theirears.
Except gang do some reason, buthe didn't get protein.

Speaker 2 (57:31):
So maybe that helps.
It was a protein.

Speaker 1 (57:36):
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah .
Agent yellow.
It appears to be hurting thecreature, but it doesn't kill it
.
As the creature is laying onthe ground, gang do sees Hyunsoo
in its mouth creature comes outwith a gas mask gotcha fuckers,
gotcha bitch.
He pulls her and Cjo out, butHyunsoo is revealed to be dead,

(57:58):
clutching Cjo, who's still alive.
And it's like fuck to be dead.
Clutching Cjo who's still alive, and it's like fuck.
I love the part where he's likegoing into the mouth, though
it's like really creepy andgooey feeling.
But yeah, she's dead, all that,but she died a hero by saving
Cjo.
Way to go, girl.
She got her beer, she got toexperience it all.
In a fit of rage, gangdoattacks the creature with a

(58:23):
metal pole.
But his oh love when he getsthe pole, because he like it's
essentially the same thing hewas using earlier with the
american guy, except he likebreaks the concrete off.
Then he whacks the sign off andis like let's, what's up with
that sign that was on it, nobugles.

Speaker 2 (58:40):
Is that what I said in the in the beginning?
That's what it had like withthe concrete block on the bottom
of it.
Yeah, is it set up the circle,the red circle, with the line
through it and a bugle like abugle, or a bugle, a bugle?

Speaker 1 (58:52):
you know, oh, maybe no music.
No, no bugles.
No, no live music, no trumpets.
I guess it's just like maybethey have like a homeless
problem where, like, they playmusic to ask for money.
Maybe that would be amazing.

Speaker 2 (59:03):
Yeah, or maybe it's just like maybe they have like a
homeless problem where, like,they play music to ask for money
.
Maybe it's like no, it'd beamazing, yeah, or maybe it's
just not a lot of music in thatpark, I don't know what I hate,
though, when people pretend toplay music, yeah, and like they
have the speaker and they're,they have the like the violins
showing like a dollar sign andthey're just moving the, the,
yeah, so that was actually atour local walmart.

Speaker 1 (59:22):
Um, there was somebody they're playing music
and it's.
I was like I wonder if he'sactually playing it or not.
I was actually asking thatquestion.
I don't think it was.
I always like to if I'm in acar and I hear him like playing
it, I always like to like makeup a song that they're playing.
My favorite is Pot by Tool.
Oh nice, who are you to wagyour finger?

(59:45):
That's a badass song.
It is Tool's like a greatbefore work band.
It's like I'm fucking ready tobe mad at supervisors.
So, yeah, Gang Doo.
He's decided to attack thecreature with a metal pole but
it's knocked to the ground.
Name Nam-il and the homelessman.
Then come to Gangdu's aid.

(01:00:07):
Nam-il is throwing a bunch ofMolotov cocktails at the
creature, but like missing.
But the creature's missing, thehomeless man climbs up to the
platform above the creature andstarts to pour gas onto the
creature, and I love it and thecreature's like ah water.
And like it's just gulping itup.
But Namil goes to throw hislast Molotov cocktail, but he

(01:00:29):
drops it.
One of those classic bits Justslips out of your hand.
You know I hate when thathappens.

Speaker 2 (01:00:39):
Why are?

Speaker 1 (01:00:40):
these bottles covered in petroleum jelly.
I wish they put like a like,noise like when the guy slipped
like a looney tunes or somethinghe slips on a banana peel but
then Namjo, fucking badass, thenpicks up a flaming cloth from
the bottle with one of herarrows and fires it at the
creature, hitting it in it's eye.

(01:01:00):
This is where she does.
It's like slow motion she shootsit and then it at the creature
hitting it in its eye, Causethis is where she does.
It's like slow motion.
She shoots it and then it likehangs.

Speaker 2 (01:01:05):
It cuts that scene from Robin Hood, prince of
Thieves, with Kevin Costner,where he shoots the arrow and
it's like spinning roll.
Still have never seen it,you're out to do it for the
podcast.
It's a badass scene.

Speaker 1 (01:01:17):
I love that shit.
So yeah, it hits it in the eye.
The creature bursts into flamesand attempts to run to the Han
River.
When Gangdu appears from behindone of the bridge's pillars
with a metal pole in hand andimpales the creature in its
mouth, finally killing it,because that river definitely
would have caught on fire too,right.
Yeah, probably it's filled withformaldehyde.

Speaker 2 (01:01:34):
I don't know if that's flammable.

Speaker 1 (01:01:36):
Yeah, I don't know either, it might be.
I either it might be.
I guess next time we're arounda dead body, let's get it on
fire, let's test it out.
Um yeah, rad, rad little endinghere how flammable are corpses?

Speaker 2 (01:01:49):
yeah, I don't know, I guess embalmed corpses because
you got to heat that shit up tolike 3 000 degrees.

Speaker 1 (01:01:54):
This one's filled with gas too.
So, yeah, yeah, um.
So, as nam il and nam joe holdhyunsoo mourning her death,
gangdo walks over to see ju andpicks him up, trying to wake him
up, like who are you?
Why are you?
You're mine, what is this?
And he takes him away from theprotest into safety.
Get a nice little like finalshot of like people and like
it's all brown and the uhcreatures on fire.

(01:02:17):
Yeah, it's like really niceending shot.
But then time passes and gangdo is living with si jun ju in
his food stand.
Uh, this, all these shots withthis, is this beautiful.
It's snowing out.
Um.
Gang do believes he seessomething in the distance
picking up his shotgun, but thenrealizes it was nothing, or was
it it was?

(01:02:38):
Uh, then gang C-Joo then sitdown to have something to eat.
While a news broadcast aboutthe monster's attack on TV is on
, it's discussing aboutmisinformation about the virus.
The film ends with C-Joo askingGang-Doo to turn the TV off so
they can concentrate on eating.

Speaker 2 (01:02:55):
Because that little kid loves eating.

Speaker 1 (01:02:56):
Yeah, but.
And then the movie ends with ano kid is ever going to do that
again.
Yeah, Turn off the TV so I canconcentrate on something right
especially as, like a homelesskid, it's like I need TV
constantly and then if you gothrough the credits it ends with
a monster roar, like it does inall the Godzilla movies and
stuff.
Yeah, and that's the host.
Baby, what a banger.

(01:03:17):
That was so cool.
We're gonna hop into our good,the bad, the ugly, the fine,
before we discuss the good ofthe film something we like, the
bad, something we didn't.
The ugly, something that didn'tage well.
The fine something that did agewell.
What do you got for the good?

Speaker 2 (01:03:31):
I think the monster was just really cool.
Yeah it all those extra arms.
Yeah, it was a very verycreative creature Right.

Speaker 1 (01:03:39):
It's fun.
It's something that always endsup in monster movies.

Speaker 2 (01:03:43):
It's like oh, the creature's cool and it's usually
like that's the whole thing,right.
Usually it's a littledisappointing.
It's got to be pretty fuckingcool, yeah, but.

Speaker 1 (01:03:51):
I feel like if we're going to make a monster movie,
please spend years deciding whatyou want your monster to look
like.
For me, I put.
The action scenes are reallygood and the music the music was
pretty cool.
The music was great.
It's like it was a wide varietyof type of like feelings you
get from the movie Sometimes alittle wacky, Sometimes it's
really like scary and intense.

Speaker 2 (01:04:12):
And the food looked really good.
Yeah, the food looked so good.

Speaker 1 (01:04:17):
I'd go eat in Korea.
I want to eat a weird dried upsquid, me too.
Let's go find some squids, bro,yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:04:23):
I'll be going on vacation.

Speaker 1 (01:04:24):
I'll see if I can find one.
Yeah, bring me back the bad.
I put, you know the 2006 movie,so you know some sketchy CG,
but I thought it was.
It wasn't bad, no it wasn'tthat bad.

Speaker 2 (01:04:42):
It seemed like they really did make the monster look
and feel real.

Speaker 1 (01:04:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:04:46):
But sometimes I guess my bad would be counterpoint to
that, to where the monsterwould be just like Not hurting
people.
Yes, that's my problem.

Speaker 1 (01:04:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:04:57):
Monsters always need to be hurting someone.
Yeah, this one.
This one.

Speaker 1 (01:05:01):
It was a little confused, you know.
Actually, now that I'm thinkingabout it, it kind of, I think,
the putting the two kidssearching for food and, like
Just supposing that, with amonster who's like constantly
searching for food and taking itback to his home, so it kind of
makes oh, they're buddies.
Yeah, it's kind of I guess, ifyou kind of look at it like that

(01:05:23):
and it kind of makes sense.
But he was just like.
He was just like storing foodfor later, you know, like these
little kids were and he doesn'teven know why.
Yeah, probably, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:05:31):
He's like I'm hungry and I'm going to be hungry later
.
I only want the bones yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:05:42):
What do you got for the ugly?
What didn't age well?

Speaker 2 (01:05:46):
Bones, I guess misinformation I always hate
that.

Speaker 1 (01:05:50):
I put Americans fucking polluting shit.
Yeah, crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:05:53):
Everybody, every country does it.
Pouring chemicals in the riversyeah, that sucks.

Speaker 1 (01:05:57):
The fact that everything the Americans do in
this film seems legit andprobably happens.

Speaker 2 (01:06:01):
I'm just kidding.

Speaker 1 (01:06:04):
We're just down on our country right now.

Speaker 2 (01:06:06):
I'm just really jealous, we have fucking.

Speaker 1 (01:06:07):
Tesla commercials at our White House at the moment.

Speaker 2 (01:06:10):

Speaker 1 (01:06:10):
supposed to do here.

Speaker 2 (01:06:11):
This is the official car of the White House now.

Speaker 1 (01:06:16):
It's fucking just our president is begging us to buy
Tesla.
He's like nobody down.
What is?

Speaker 2 (01:06:22):
this Zero for this it's for you Is this not illegal
in some way.
It's just embarrassing.

Speaker 1 (01:06:27):
I think the president , pushing cars on us that we
can't afford because we're notlowering prices.
You know what?

Speaker 2 (01:06:33):
We're not a political podcast, sorry.
Let's pivot, let's pivot.

Speaker 1 (01:06:38):
Yeah, americans, we created a great monster in a
monster movie go us.

Speaker 2 (01:06:44):
We needed a more capitalistic monster.
I think yeah yeah, next time wesee godzilla in america, he's
like hey, if you think about itthis monster is kind of like
because we have like thetake-home culture with when
going out to eat, you take.
You know, I got the to-go boxyeah, it's kind of like what he
does.
Yeah, save it for later oh,I'll heat it up.

Speaker 1 (01:07:04):
You know, it turns out this monster really works
forever about the host monsterfor everyone donald trump will
have it for president.

Speaker 2 (01:07:13):
Yeah, it's gonna be staying up more longer this is
the best monster.

Speaker 1 (01:07:19):
Elon loves the monster.
Elon loves the monster.
We all love the monster.
Driving a Tesla, it's like here, monster, since you're the best
here's a Tesla.
All right, so the fine.

Speaker 2 (01:07:35):
Go please.

Speaker 1 (01:07:37):
Well, for me, what aged the best is Bong Joon-ho.
We're going to continue to dosome of his movies.
We're definitely going to doMemoirs of a Murderer, that's
like you know.
I kind of think Bong Joon-ho islike the way I put him, because
he does a wide variety of films, but the way his style is and
like how precise he is witheverything is I kind of think of

(01:08:00):
him as like, uh, like a foreigndirector version of, like David
Fincher yeah, that's how Ithink of him Especially with
memoirs of a murderer.

Speaker 2 (01:08:09):
So I've never seen memoirs of a murder.
Sounds exciting.

Speaker 1 (01:08:12):
I've seen Okja, that's also him.

Speaker 2 (01:08:14):
Oh, with the big ass, big pig, big pig thing.
Yeah, that was good, I maybefucked.

Speaker 1 (01:08:19):
That was good.
That movie fucked me up.
Oh yeah, it was sad.
It's like damn.
Did you want to see a pig rapescene?
I didn't.

Speaker 2 (01:08:25):
Oh boy.
Goddamn dude, Fuck me up andtaking meat samples out of live
animals.

Speaker 1 (01:08:33):
That sucks, that's real, it's so fucking sad.

Speaker 2 (01:08:38):
Whenever the two parents give away the baby.

Speaker 1 (01:08:42):
Yeah, the baby pig, the live animal samples.
Reminds me of another thingfrom the office when Dwight says
he's like, yeah, I got nine andthree, four horses.
Because he's like I have founda way to take meat out of a
horse?

Speaker 2 (01:08:57):
oh no.
Dwight also keeping it alivewhat the fuck is wrong with you,
Dr Frankenstein?

Speaker 1 (01:09:04):
Yeah, too bad, it's real Too bad you can do that it
does that happens, I think.
I think you can do that, ormaybe I'm misremembering
something, I don't know.
All right, well, anyways, wedid that man.
We really got real wild in thatcategory.

Speaker 2 (01:09:18):
We're going to hit our next one.

Speaker 1 (01:09:19):
I'm so sad now, which is double features.
It's where we recommend a movieto go alongside the host.
I picked Memories of a Murder.
It's not memoirs, memories of aMurder, memories by Bong
Joon-ho.
In a small Korean province in1986, two detectives struggle
with the case of multiple youngwomen being found raped and
murdered by an unknown culprit.
It is so good.

(01:09:39):
Murdered by an unknown culprit?
It is so good.
And something that I meant tomention about this film is that
Bong Joon-ho likes to have wherethe cops are kind of like
incompetent and like aren'tdoing their job correctly, and
he always likes to have regularpeople being the ones that like
save and solve things right,like in the hosts, they're the

(01:10:02):
ones that find the daughter andkill the monster.
So this is kind of essentiallylike this.
This villager essentially ishelping solving this case.
Shot really well, it's tense,it's also got a lot of dark
humor and it's fantastic.
It's like Zodiac, but Korean.
It's great.

Speaker 2 (01:10:23):
What do you got For a Korean?
I like I was trying to think ofa Korean film.
It doesn't have to be Korean,but but I was trying.

Speaker 1 (01:10:30):
Yeah, and I failed.

Speaker 2 (01:10:31):
I didn't mean to mess you up.
No, it's great.
No, actually I couldn't thinkof anything.

Speaker 1 (01:10:37):
Um Well, if you want another monster movie, always a
good one Cloverfield.

Speaker 2 (01:10:41):
You know what this monster reminded me of was the
horse from Venom, the Last Dance.
I haven't seen it.
The Venom horse?
Yeah, it's fucking sick.

Speaker 1 (01:10:50):
It's coming from a guy who hates horses.
I like my horses with symbioteson them.

Speaker 2 (01:10:55):
Yeah, they got to be covered in the symbiotes and
shit.
Then they're fine.

Speaker 1 (01:11:00):
Did you like that movie?

Speaker 2 (01:11:01):
I didn't watch all of it, but I really did love Venom
.
I've never seen any of theVenom movies.

Speaker 1 (01:11:08):
The first one's fun, the second one's bad.

Speaker 2 (01:11:10):
The third one I hear is it's probably bad, but I just
like the character of Venom.

Speaker 1 (01:11:17):
Venom and Tom Hardy.
They're a great little lovecouple his voice he's so excited
, little love couple.

Speaker 2 (01:11:22):
Yeah, I love his voice.
He's so excited abouteverything he's like yes, yeah,
that was a good part.

Speaker 1 (01:11:29):
I did enjoy the relationship between Venom, and
Eddie Brock.

Speaker 2 (01:11:33):
Yeah, so I guess mine would be all the Venoms yeah
watch the Venoms, even though Ihaven't seen them.

Speaker 1 (01:11:40):
