Speaker 2 (00:09):
Hey, honey, this is a really good if they know
him or rap hell.

Speaker 3 (00:12):
Gina Davis and Samuel L.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
Jackson are the action team of the farm. Yes, I

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Take it The Long Kiss? Good Night?

Speaker 1 (00:24):
Rate it Off?

Speaker 2 (00:25):
Starts Friday at a theater near you.

Speaker 4 (00:31):
In a world where podcasts reign supreme, two friends dare
to ask.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
Do You Even?

Speaker 1 (00:41):
Movie?

Speaker 4 (00:46):
Hosted by filmmaker Enrique Kuto and movie aficionado David Denyer.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
Spoil alert. Well, hello everyone, and welcome back to Do
You Even? Movie? I'm your host Enrique Kuto here with
double D Louis de Nooie, and we have a very
special holiday episode for you all.

Speaker 3 (01:21):
Yes we do.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
Yeah, yeah, perhaps perhaps, But before we get to that,
I have something I need to complain about. Okay, So
my name Enrique Kuto. With the H yeah yeah yeah,
with the h that's silent that that throws everybody. And
then and then people get in they get self conscious too,
because then they're like, oh, should I not have said

(01:43):
Henry Kna. I'm like, no, it's fine. Yeah, you say
h is all day long. You could say henri Que
totally a right.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
A lot of my friends have been like, can I
still call him like Henrick?

Speaker 2 (01:51):
Is that okay?

Speaker 3 (01:51):
I'm like, yeah, it's fine. You'd say both, It's fine.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
Yeah, it doesn't matter me. It's just when people say, hey,
how do you say your name? Yeah, I will be
like Enriquequez. But if they say, like, what's your name Enrique?
But if they said, hey, Henrich, yes, yeah, yeah, it's fine.
It doesn't bother me in the least. But having that
first name combined with Kuto or Kotou and Portuguese Couto

(02:14):
also not a common last name at all. It is
not very few of us out there.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
So I work in show business. You do, and one
of the things you have to do is track what's
going on in the world involving you and your product,
whether it's movies, podcasts. So I have Google alerts set
up to like, for instance, I have a Google alert

(02:44):
setup for do you even movie in quotes? In case
something somewhere posts about us. Yeah, I have one for
my own name. I have one for every movie I've
ever made. Stuff like that. Yeah, so I can find
when people are blogging or news stories come out or whatever.
Well I didn't know, Well now I know so much

(03:04):
about it that apparently in Brazil, which is so that's
the thing. Usually when I get a Google alert for
my name and it's not me, it's a soccer player
from Brazil, all of a sudden, my Google alert is
full of notifications every hour because apparently there's a guy
named Andrique Kotou Nobrega in Brazil who is currently negotiating

(03:30):
like the biggest trade deal Brazil has ever had with
China in the history of Brazil. They are publishing news
stories hourly about this massive deal for days. So my
feed is nothing, nothing but stuff about Brazilian trade, which,

(03:53):
oddly enough, is one of the few hobbies I.

Speaker 3 (03:55):
Don't have, which is surprising.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
It is following Brazilian trade. Well, now I follow it.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
Well, now you have to. So I love that text
you sent me yesterday. I was just like, that's hilarious.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
That was today?

Speaker 3 (04:07):
Was it today?

Speaker 2 (04:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (04:07):
Goddamn the days are blending.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
Yeah, so that is annoying. I need my name to
go back to being unusual again. Don't ever tell you
about the time I got a review for my movie
Bleeding Through and at the end of the review it
said it said Enrique Kutos quickly becoming one of my
favorite foreign filmmakers.

Speaker 3 (04:27):
Yeah, I remember you tell me that.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
That was fucking funny. That was like that was like
like eleven years ago, while ago, but very very funny.
So I've also done like I worked once for a
university somewhere I won't say where. Yeah, and they sent
me when they sent me my tax paperwork, they sent
me a non citizen tax tax I don't know. Instead

(04:49):
of a W nine you sent me. They sent me
like the non citizen tax papers that's nuts. And I
wrote them back and I was like, I may sound exotic, yeah,
but I'm from Ohio, from Ohio, and I have a
social Security number and it has my name on it.
So if we could just just not you know, I
was like, look, either either let me skip, you know,

(05:10):
either pay me under the table, yeah, or pay me
as a citizen I suppose. I guess, boy, that's boring.

Speaker 3 (05:17):
So I have something to report. No you don't, I
saw wicked since last time.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
Oh yeah you did.

Speaker 3 (05:23):
I did yeah, it was. It was a spur of
the moment thing. I had a friend text me and
my roommate and I both were free this past Sunday,
and she was like, you know, do you guys want
to go see Wicked? And I had known ahead of
time because I'm a nerd, so I deep dive on
that stuff that this is technically Wicked Part one.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
Yeah. They started letting us know that right before it
actually came out.

Speaker 3 (05:43):
So when the title screen pops up, it says Wicked Giant,
and then then in the corner just says part one.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
Part one.

Speaker 3 (05:49):
Yeah. So two hours and forty minutes, and oh my god,
yeah it was. And I knew that going in. I
had had research ahead of time and whatnot. And I've
got to say, overall, like I like The Wizard of Oz.
I think it's a great movie. I usually will probably
watch it like once a year, honestly, because I think
it's just a mesmerizing film. I did not know a
damn thing about Wicked, except for that it was a novel,

(06:11):
it was a popular stage play. I knew a couple songs.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
From it, and I assume it takes place in Boston.

Speaker 3 (06:16):
In Boston, did you see that article. I think it was.
I can't remember if it was a click, if it
was hard Times or something, but it was like Boston's
are having a hard time deciding if they're gonna go
see Wicked or not, but can't stop talking about it.
Solid Yeah, but anyway, so went to the theater saw it. Honestly,
I'm gonna give it a four out of five. I

(06:37):
actually had a really good time with it. If you're
a musical fan, if you're not a musical fan, I
think there's something to like in the movie for everybody,
especially if you enjoyed The Wizard of Oz. It's basically
the prequel story of Glinda and al Faba, who is
the Alfaba al Faba who is the Wicked Witch of
the West, becoming friends when they were in school together.

(06:57):
It's basically the origin story of the Wicked Witch. I
I gather you gather that from the title Wicked and
having the Wicked Witch of the West on the cover.
That's fair. Yes, yes, awesome, but no. Overall, like I thought,
it was a fun movie. If you don't want to
sit in the theater for almost three hours, then I
would probably wait for streaming because I would honestly, bet
it'll probably hit like the first part of January or

(07:18):
so at this point.

Speaker 2 (07:20):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (07:20):
Popularity, it's hard to tell. But no, if you are
Wizard of Oz fan, if you've been curious about it
and you are looking for a fun time to the theater,
it's a good time. It's got good songs. It's not
a full on, like full blown musical, like there's maybe
seven songs in the whole movie.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
Well, I mean, it's based on a book, which is
which they then turned into a stage of stage play.

Speaker 3 (07:40):
Yeah, and the stage play apparently is only like three
hours altogether. So the fact that they've broken it into
what's going to be basically six hours to tell the
whole story theatrically is pretty impressive.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (07:51):
That's that's the word. That's the word.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (07:53):
But no, if you're curious about Wicked, I had a
lot of fun with it. It's it's uh. It did
not feel long to me too. I will say that,
even though it was like two and a half hours,
didn't feel that long to me. So I was fine
with it. But no, I give a wicket a four
out of five if you are a fan, four out of.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
Five wow, wow, Okay, that's that's massive praise.

Speaker 3 (08:13):
I was so the first hour I was just like,
this is fun, you know, cool, like I'm having a
good time with it. And then it does something like
right about the ninety one hundred minute mark where it
just sucked me in and I was just like, Okay,
I want to see what's going to happen now. So
the storytelling is a little slow in the beginning because
you're learning the characters, learning the institution they're going to
and all that stuff. But and also I will say

(08:34):
the plots kind of a bit jumbled that first hour
as well. But once you get past that first hour mark,
it really it did not feel long to me. By
the time it was ending, I was like, yeah, this
seems about right, like this is this is probably work,
kind of like that time Hateful eight where we thought
Hateful it was getting too long and then it ended.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
Yeah, it was like over almost right after I had
started thinking how long have I been sitting here?

Speaker 3 (08:53):
So it's credits, but no four out of five for me.
I gave it a four five on letter Box. I
had a good time with it. I will probably watch
it again when it comes out. I'm not going to
rush out and see it by any means. But I'm
excited for the second one to see where is going
to go. So I give Wicked a seal of approval
after a couple of weeks ago, kind of running it through.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
The dirt, running it through the dirt.

Speaker 3 (09:10):
Yeah, we said some shit about it.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
Not I'm not going to go see it.

Speaker 3 (09:16):
You're not gonna go see it.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
I mean I don't like so much at all. I mean,
it's not in the Heights.

Speaker 3 (09:21):
You have a yeah, say you have, you have a
couple that you'll let slip. But yeah, you are tough
with musical by law. I had to like in the
Height sing I'm an American Hispanic. It's a law. But
have you seen Hamilton? Hell no, Yeah, I think.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
So, I don't doubt, I don't care, I don't.

Speaker 3 (09:37):
So Wicked gives Dave's seal of approval. Hen and it
gives it whatever.

Speaker 2 (09:41):
Although honestly, if Hamilton in a movie, I probably would go.

Speaker 3 (09:43):
See that freaking thing that they released a Disney Plus
was supposed to be theatrical, but then COVID happened and
they dropped it on Disney Plus. Yeah, it's fun. I've
watched it a couple of times.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
That's that's that's good.

Speaker 3 (09:57):
I've also literally like listened to Hamilton like driving to
Wasteland because it's the perfect length of it, like a
full CD for that drive.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
Well, it can't be a full CD because the CD
seventy four.

Speaker 3 (10:10):
It's set. Yeah, it's a full set. By the time
you're getting to the last song, you're arriving at the
Royalton end.

Speaker 4 (10:18):
Do You Even? Movie will be right back, welcome back
to Do You Even?

Speaker 1 (10:30):
Movie?

Speaker 2 (10:35):
I had the delight of having a cold. You did
over the weekend to lead me right into holiday stuff,
which is ideal.

Speaker 3 (10:45):
That was what you d do.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
It's what you I also had a cold at the
end of October. Ye, possibly I gave it to you
or you gave it to me. Well we will. There
was like no way, no, we can ever know.

Speaker 3 (10:56):
It's like that time that you caught COVID mysteriously and
I didn't have it. Your mom didn't have.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
Nobody I had come in any form of contact with
hat it. Only I did.

Speaker 3 (11:05):
It must have been hiding in the house just waiting.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
But no, that was the worst part. So I get
sick by like Thursday or Wednesday or Thursday, I'm full
blown sick. But we had seen each other Friday and
Sunday and Tuesday, and then you got sick that same
so there's literally no way to know. And then Rachel
didn't get sid and get sick. But this time around
she made me sick.

Speaker 3 (11:27):
That sounds like her.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
Yeah, but I told her, Hey, I understand living together,
sometimes we're going to make each other sick, sometimes literally
solid Yeah, thank you. I really did say that to her. Yeah,
you know it's you know, you pour your heart out
over a couple of coney dogs. So but no, So
I just want to mention that when I get sick

(11:49):
like that, like the way I was, and very long,
boring story short, I can't lay down when I sleep
right now, which is sucks. It should hopefully be over
and just under a yeah it's sleep apnea stuff. Yeah,
sleep crapnia, that's what they should call it. But so
I'm like on the couch, sitting up just like with

(12:13):
a neck pillow, just like in and out of existence.
So I put on I found out with my new
iPhone I bought that I got three months of Apple Plus.
So I put on Killers of the Flower Moon and
just like drifted in and out of it for three
hours seven minutes. I still like that movie. It really
was good. But uh, but yeah, I would like in

(12:35):
and out, in and out. Oh and then I watched.

Speaker 3 (12:38):
Wolves, and you didn't watch the director's cut of Napoleon.

Speaker 2 (12:41):
I thought about it. I was wondering, actually didn't want
a movie with that much action because it wake me
up too much. Speak for yourself, well, fair, jeez, dated
like four times that day. Yeah, but you were like
you were stupid. But but no, I but I watched Wolves,
the movie with uh, Brad Piltney and George c. It

(13:02):
was good. It was really good.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
It wasn't quite as jokey or as humorous. It was humorous,
but it was it kind of It was a little
more serious than I thought it would be. It was
a little bit more complicated I thought it'd be, And honestly,
I thought it was attempting ironically enough to be very
like a Shane Black script. I could see that, which

(13:25):
is the bizarrely perfect transition is indeed to us talking
about tonight's movie The Long Kiss good Night from nineteen
ninety six.

Speaker 3 (13:36):
We are kicking off our holiday lineup with a if
you've seen die Hard the umpteenth time, and you're looking
for a Christmas movie that has the balls, the villains,
the jokes that die Hard does. I would say Long
Kiss good Night is definitely a good contender with that.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
I would say so yeah.

Speaker 3 (13:54):
So The Long Kiss good Night from nineteen ninety six,
two hours in one minute, rated R for a sob
stantial amount of strong bloody violence and for strong language.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
All right.

Speaker 3 (14:06):
Director on the film is mister Rennie Harlan, who gets
his start in nineteen eighty six with Born American. He
goes on to shoot Prison in nineteen Direct Prison in
nineteen eighty seven, followed by Renney.

Speaker 2 (14:16):
Harlan's first film was Born in America or an American
because he wasn't, No, he was not. He was born
in like Sweden.

Speaker 3 (14:22):
Yeah, he had a couple of short films went on there,
but like his first theatrical was that R first feature
was that one'.

Speaker 2 (14:27):
It's Just Funny from Sweden. He made Born American.

Speaker 3 (14:29):
Prison in nineteen eighty seven, Night Mary Elm Street for
the dream Master in nineteen eighty eight, My favorite, It's
a good one. Wild Force. The band did a music
video Sophia in eighty eight did another Wild Force vehicle
in a video in eighty eight called I Want You
to Stay Then in nineteen ninety, directs Die.

Speaker 2 (14:45):
Hard to one of my favorite movies, too.

Speaker 3 (14:48):
Follows that up with the Adventures of Ford Fairlane in
nineteen ninety Cappy Cappy follows that up with Cliffhanger in
nineteen ninety three. I love Cliff Hanger's fun. Did you
see we're getting a remake? Oh my god, I think
it's going It might be going direct to streaming. They've
got a poster out right now. I wouldn't it's gender swapped.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
Uh really, I mean, I'm not even trying to be
an edge lord about it.

Speaker 3 (15:12):
It's just like.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
In the movie Stallone's character. The whole point of why
he's the Cliffhanger, I'm just gonna call that is that
he's like a buff dude who can like pull people
up when they're gonna die.

Speaker 3 (15:24):
They're doing the exact same pose on the post or
two for the new one. That's the thing they've remive
me so far.

Speaker 2 (15:29):
It seems a little odd, but I'm surprised it's not
a mini series.

Speaker 3 (15:33):
I'm too, honestly so. Cliffhanger in nineteen ninety three, Gladiatoriot
in nineteen ninety three, follows that up with a little
film in nineteen ninety five called Cutthroat Island and talk
about a cutthroat production for mister Harlan Unfortunately. Yeah, The
Long Kiss Good Night follows that in nineteen eighty six,
followed by Deep Blue Sea in nineteen ninety nine, Deepest
Bluest the music video four Deep lu See with Ella

(15:55):
cool J. He also directs tracks in two thousand, Driven
in two thousand and one, Minehunter in two thousand and four,
Exorcists the Beginning in two thousand and four, as well
The Covenant in two thousand and six, then goes on
to do The Cleaner with Samuel Jackson in two thousand
and seven.

Speaker 2 (16:07):
I like that movie Solid. That was a random Netflix
fine for me. I didn't when I started playing it.
All of a sudden, I went Rennie Harlan.

twenty twenty three, The Brick Layer in twenty twenty three,
and most recently The Strangers chapter one in twenty twenty four,
Chapter two of course coming next year.

Speaker 2 (16:52):
I really liked The Strangers Chapter two.

Speaker 3 (16:54):
It got shipped on by a lot of people.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
But it but a lot of people bought tickets for it.

Speaker 3 (16:59):
Is very true as well. Our writer on the film,
as Enrique mentioned, is mister Shane Black. We talked about
this gentleman with The Last Boy Scout a couple episodes ago.
He writes nineteen eighty seven's Lethal Weapon The Monster Squad
in eighty seven as well Lethal Weapon two. He gets
a character in story credit on The Last Boy Scout.
In ninety one he gets screenplay credit leath the Weapon three,
and ninety two gets character credit Last Action Hero in

(17:19):
ninety three, The Long Kiss good Night in nineteen ninety six,

story credit, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang in two thousand and five,
Iron Man three and twenty thirteen, Edge in twenty fifteen,
The Nice Guys twenty sixteen, Leath the Weapons series in
twenty sixteen as well, and The Predator in twenty eighteen.

Speaker 2 (17:36):
Man, that is a hell of a the hell of
a lineup.

Speaker 3 (17:39):
Yeah. Moving down to our cinematographer, we have Gueromo Navarro,
who gets his start in nineteen eighty six with a
more a la oh God, I wrote this and I
don't that right there?

Speaker 2 (17:51):
Oh a moore a La vueta velta jelte de la.

Speaker 3 (17:56):
Esquina escina in nineteen eighty six, Bath Through Intimacy in
nineteen ninety one, that's a title. Cronos, The gimmod Toro
film he shoots in nineteen ninety two, The Cover Girl
Murders in ninety three, ABC After School Specials in nineteen
ninety four, The Cisco Kid in nineteen ninety four. Then
in nineteen ninety five he shoots a little film called Desperado.
Oh so he does a cinematography on Desperado, follows it

Speaker 2 (18:44):
Oh Yeah, Okay Yeah, follows.

Speaker 3 (18:46):
That up with Twilight Saga Breaking Dawn Part one, Mockingbird Lane,
which was the failed relaunch of the Monsters.

Speaker 2 (18:53):
Deeply failed, deeply failed.

Speaker 3 (18:54):
Yeah, Twilight Saga Breaking Down Part two in twenty twelve,
Pacific Rim twenty thirteen, Museum s Here to the Twobe
in twenty fourteen, Star Trek Discovery episodes, Cocaine Godmother for Netflix,
Godfather of Harlem in twenty nineteen, Doolittle and The Unforgivable

Speaker 2 (19:10):
Man That is a lot of great sh shooting.

Speaker 3 (19:12):
Both Jackie Brown from dust till Dawn is one thing,
but then Desperado Devil's back. But I mean he worked
with Del Toro several times.

Speaker 2 (19:19):
Yeah, really good. A lot of good stuff.

Speaker 3 (19:22):
Moving down here, I'm to be synopsis It says government
agents come for annisiak, woman who gradually remembers her past.

Speaker 2 (19:29):
I mean that's a little sparse. Jesus.

Speaker 3 (19:36):
My synopsis says Samantha Caine has been living a peaceful
life for eight years until a bump on the head
results in memories resurvicing of her old life as a
lethal secret agent. I guess I could have said government assassin.
Damn it.

Speaker 2 (19:48):
Yeah, I mean that's like kicking a seven year old
and taking his bike, Like you won, it's yours. It's
a win.

Speaker 3 (19:57):
Moving down to our tag lines, we have the most
spectacular action scenes you've ever seen.

Speaker 2 (20:03):
I mean that's not I mean, this movie is pretty
freaking crazy.

Speaker 3 (20:07):
Yeah. Then we have eight years ago. She lost her memory.
Now a detective must help her remember the past before
it buries them both. What's forgotten is not always gone.
That's supposed to be a tag line in the tagline
section on IMDb.

Speaker 2 (20:19):
That's a long tagline.

Speaker 3 (20:20):
Those are the only two, believe it or not.

Speaker 2 (20:23):
Usually a movie only has one tagline, yeah, unless you're
blood Rage. Well, well, most movies only have one title.
That's also true unless your Nightmare in Shadow Woods also true?

Speaker 4 (20:32):
Again, do You Even? Movie? Will be right back, Welcome
back to Do You Even?

Speaker 1 (20:48):
Movie?

Speaker 3 (20:53):
The Long Guest, Good Night currently streaming on Paramount Plus.
You can also rent it on a Rent it or
by it on Prime Fandango any place you get your videos.
I will say the Blu ray I believe is still
fairly cheap and there has not been a four K
or anything yet, so that's the only version you can
get of it.

Speaker 2 (21:09):
And it looks and sounds great, looks good. We was
rocking my whole living room on the surround system.

Speaker 3 (21:14):
Yes, it was moving down to our cast. We have
Geena Davis who plays Samantha Caine slash Charlie in this.
She gets her started in nineteen eighty two on Tootsie,
follows it up A night Rider in eighty three, Buffalo Bill,
Fantasy Island, Family Ties, Redminton Steel in nineteen eighty five,

Speaker 2 (24:58):
Wow. Yeah, guy's been working.

Speaker 3 (25:01):
He definitely has been working. So what was your first
time seeing The Long Kiss Good Night?

Speaker 1 (25:05):
Sir?

Speaker 2 (25:05):
You showed it to me, did I? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (25:07):
You want to know how I remember that because my
Blu Ray fucked up and we had to go to
buybacks to buy a new copy while we were watching it.

Speaker 2 (25:14):
Holy crap that did happen.

Speaker 3 (25:18):
And my buybacks receipt is still in that copy up there.

Speaker 2 (25:22):
That is hilarious.

Speaker 3 (25:23):
Yeah, we had literally gotten through like maybe the first
like minute of credits and then it just started like
glitching out and pixelating really bad. So then we had
to tribe to buy backs, which luckily they.

Speaker 2 (25:34):
Had one, which shockingly they had one. Yeah there was
one back. Yeah then.

Speaker 3 (25:40):
But yeah, no, I I this movie fell into into
my ubra because it was a blind by VHS purchase
at a flea market back in Piqua when I was
a kid still getting VHS tapes, and I remember the
guy had had a sale that was like, you know, by,
I think it was like by four get the first
to get the fifth free, and I think they were
all basically the same price, so I remember the exact

(26:02):
stack I got. I went home with Fright Night, Money Talks,
Fast On, Druge, Matt High, True Romance, and The Long
Kiss Good Night, and I watched all five of those
like as soon as I got home.

Speaker 2 (26:15):
I mean that's a pretty solid stack.

Speaker 3 (26:16):
Yeah, And I remember I think I was watching The
Long Kiss either first or second. I can't remember if
True Romance was high on the list because I think
that was the first time ever saw true Romance. So
I think I saw True Romance and The Long Kiss
good Night back to back for their first times nice,
So it was being I was just blown away by
this movie. Obviously, the action somehow gets crazier in scenes,

(26:37):
the jokes are hilarious, and overall the story just unfolds
to a really good thriller and just it's Renny Harlan,
You're not gonna have a bad time.

Speaker 2 (26:45):
Well, I think that what the film does is it
escalates like double time every time, yeah, which at first
is a little exciting, and then by the middle it's
quite a bit exciting, and by the end it's insane.
It's insane because it'll be like, oh, car exploded, Well,
now everything's gonna do, everything's gonna explain, and then you're like, oh,
now everything explodes, Like no, now literally everything's going to.

Speaker 3 (27:07):
And now cars are raining from the sky on fire.

Speaker 2 (27:09):
Yeah yeah, no, like for real. It's just it's an
exercise and ESCALATIONI.

Speaker 3 (27:13):
Yeah, So are you ready to get into it?

Speaker 2 (27:16):
Why the hell not? All right?

Speaker 3 (27:17):
So we open with shots of we see handwriting that
says Charlene Elizabeth Baltimore. We see shots of a handgun.
We see some cryptic pictures and whatnot that we're not
putting together. But we also see a nice Christmas setting.
They're panning through a house. We see some Christmas gifts,
some decor, a nice family portrait.

Speaker 2 (27:34):
Well, yeah, it's the holidays, and.

Speaker 3 (27:36):
We also cut to a Christmas parade as we see
various floats horses. We also see Samantha Cane played by
Geena Davis, and she tells us that she was born
eight years ago on a beach in New Jersey, washed
up pregnant on a shore with a blank key, and
that was the only memory that she has of anything
before then.

Speaker 2 (27:52):
And I mean, there aren't many worse fates than washing
up on the shore of New Jersey, but fair enough.

Speaker 3 (27:58):
She says that she has photo retrograde amnesia, which basically
makes it so that she cannot recall anything from the past.
But definitely there is a past life that we have
not gotten into at all yet.

Speaker 2 (28:09):
Clearly.

Speaker 3 (28:10):
Yeah, so she is a teacher now. She has a
little girl named Caitlin. She has a guy that she's
seeing name how We see them walking through the snow
having a good time. We also cut to her daughter
and her friend in a treehouse as her daughters explaining
the issue with her amnesia to her friend, and Samantha
pops up and she's just like, hey, Caitlin, can you
help me in the kitchen? Also, do you remember where

(28:31):
it is? And like just joking with her, like really
cute stuff.

Speaker 2 (28:33):
Yeah, Yeah, it's you know, it's very clear that she's
digging the mom life.

Speaker 3 (28:37):
Yeah, and she's also very well loved in the community,
as we see in the next scene as her and
how are having a Chris's party with friends. Hale gives
a really funny toast where he basically says that he
doesn't swear, smoke or drink. Oh shit, I do smoke
and drink.

Speaker 2 (28:49):
Yeah, it's pretty solid, pretty funny.

Speaker 3 (28:51):
And also at this point, Gena Davis catches a kid Ronald's,
smoking at the party and she tries to steal a
cigarette and tries to steal a cigarette and she just
basically tells him, no, have a cookie instead, and that
may come back in the well.

Speaker 2 (29:01):
Well. She tells him that if if she catches him
smoking one of those, he'll be he's gonna wind up
in a ditch or he's gonna bury him or something.

Speaker 3 (29:07):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. So we next see Mitch,
who is played by Samuel Jackson, and he bust into
a hotel room with a guy that is in bed
with a woman, and he's got two guys with him
disguised as cops that are clearly not cops.

Speaker 2 (29:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (29:22):
So he starts basically going in on the guy, saying
that he's under arrest of prostitution and that if he
wants to fuck with him, he can gladly send him
to a place where he can be fucked in the ass.
Like he has three renditions of this to basically say,
I'll fuck with you if you fuck with me.

Speaker 1 (29:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (29:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (29:37):
So, uh, he has the one of the guys start
reading him his rights, and he's basically coaxing the guy
and guiding him through reading him his Miranda rights, and
then that gentleman also ends up vomiting.

Speaker 2 (29:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (29:48):
So we find out that this is actually a scam
that he's running because the woman that was in bed
is actually his assistant and he is actually he's a
private dick.

Speaker 2 (29:55):
Basically right private investigators.

Speaker 3 (29:57):
He's a private investigator, And we also find out that
he's been doing the scam for a bit, because she
even tells him they have to stop using bombs. But
his assistant that also informs him that they have a
lead on the Samantha Caine.

Speaker 2 (30:07):
Case, and worth mentioning two things about Samantha Cane. So
number one, she mentions standing in front of the mirror naked,
wondering where all the scars came from, because she has
lots of scars, not like an obscene amount, but plenty,
plenty of scars. And number two, she mentions that even

(30:28):
as she's been settling into her life, she's been trying
to find out where she came from, and that at
first she was hiring great private detectives and then decent
ones and now whoever's cheapest, Yeah, just whoever's cheapest, and
clearly Samuel Jackson.

Speaker 3 (30:42):
Is the cheapest. Mitch Hennessy, by the way, Mitch Hennessy.

Speaker 4 (30:48):
Do You Even? Movie? Will be right back, welcome back
to do You Even?

Speaker 1 (31:01):
Movie?

Speaker 3 (31:06):
So she informs him that they have a lead on
the Samantha can Cane case because they found a credit
card in a shoe box with a woman that has
recently passed and it has Samantha Cayne's name on it.
So he decides to call her and basically say that
they're going to check into this a little bit more so.
That is when we find out that Samantha is driving
her friend Earl home, who has been drinking at the party.
They wreck because there's a deer in the road, and

(31:27):
that sends Samantha through the front of the windshield out
into the snow, and she wakes up and kind of
has a bit of flashes of memory that we see
come back to her, but we still can't put together much.

Speaker 2 (31:36):
And you saying she goes through the windshield into the
snow is a gross simplification. It is a terrifying car crash.

Speaker 3 (31:43):
They hit this deer, she flies, I would say easily.

Speaker 2 (31:46):
What fifty that the deer's kicking Yeah.

Speaker 3 (31:49):
Yeah, yeah, because her buddy, I think her buddy is dead.
I want to say, I don't know for sure, we
never see, but yeah. Also her buddy played by the
great Alan North, who many main from SEENO Evil, Greno Evil.
He plays a cop and basically everything.

Speaker 2 (32:04):
Yeah, and this one, he's a drunk.

Speaker 3 (32:06):
He's just a drunken this one. So she emerges from
the snow, she's a little bloody, and she's having memory
flashes and then she just wonders over the deer and
sees it's in pain, so she just decides to break
its fucking neck. Yeah, without any hesitation, no hesitation whatsoever.
So then we cut to the Jersey Correctional facility where
we see a man sitting in the wreck room alone
in front of the caged TV. Because you know they're
in the institution.

Speaker 2 (32:27):
That's how you know you're in a good place. Yeah,
and the television is behind a full blown cage.

Speaker 3 (32:32):
So he's smoking a cigarette and all of a sudden,
on the screen flashes the image of Samantha as missus
Claws in the parade, and he just starts losing his shit,
basically screaming, it's impossible, you're dead. What the hell's going on?
We cut away from him. We're now in the hospital.
How is visiting Samantha, who is sleeping, And that's when
we cut into her dreams as we see Samantha looking
back at herself in a mirror as the woman in

(32:54):
front of her, which is her, changes to a woman
that's like her but now has short cut, dyed blonde hair.

Speaker 2 (32:59):
Yeah, and we're starting to get the sense that it's
coming back to her.

Speaker 3 (33:04):
Yeah, and the woman in the mirror says, you want
a cigarette, and she's like, I don't want a cigarette.
I don't smoke. She's like you used to. And she
also says that she's coming back and her name's Charlie,
and get used to it.

Speaker 2 (33:14):
You know, I know that amnesia is very rare, and
in fact, most cases of claimed amnesia are faked from
what I've under what I understand, Yeah, but imagine how
terrifying it really would be if you had no memory
of your past. Yeah, you would wonder like was I
a bastard? You know? Was I a son of a bitch?

(33:35):
Was I Dave?

Speaker 3 (33:37):
Like?

Speaker 2 (33:37):
What could I have been? No? Exactly, but no, it's
a really cool space to play in. Yeah, this whole
idea that she's basically as we're going to come to see,
she's almost like like how a sleeper cell is shown,
you know, like she has all these skills inside of
her mind that she doesn't even know about until they
start unlocking.

Speaker 3 (33:56):
Well, she's not accessing all of her brain yet, she's only.

Speaker 2 (33:59):
Accessing what was that movie The Lazarus Project? Well that
one too, but there was the other one, Liz, No,
what was that movie? The actionvie with the girl the
like female assassin and all the animal pictures.

Speaker 3 (34:13):
It wasn't Lucy. That's the one with the animal pictures.

Speaker 2 (34:17):
Animal images.

Speaker 3 (34:18):
Oh God, I get I don't even know.

Speaker 2 (34:20):
One of my great pet peeves is the the cinematic
trope of saying that we only use like five to
ten percent of our brains. Maybe the writers who keep
saying that only use that much of their brains, but
the rest of us, we use the vast majority of

(34:41):
our brains. Yeah, for many things, such as retaining learning
that that's not true after the first time we fucking
heard it. Yeah, it drives me crazy. But now there
was some there was some action movie that I was
really looking forward to, but it opened up with like
like how they make you the perfect killer sassin fighter
or whatever is we activate the rest of your brain?

Speaker 3 (35:03):
And I was like, God, that wasn't Lucy.

Speaker 2 (35:05):
I think it was Lucy.

Speaker 3 (35:06):
Yeah, Lucy with a not Charlie's theirn.

Speaker 2 (35:09):
I think it was Lucy. Was that a Luke Bassan?

Speaker 3 (35:12):
Yeah? Yeah, Charlie so Hanson, I think I think it
was the same time as that, and under the skin
we're close together.

Speaker 2 (35:19):
It's probably Lucy. I was not a fan, but I
but it's hard for me to stay invested when they
say something that stupid.

Speaker 3 (35:26):
You mean, Lucy spoiler the movie where it turns out
that she's basically turning into a computer slowly. Yeah, I remember.
So Charlie is in this dream with Samantha, and we
should also point out, as you pointed out, that she's
basically in a Hell Razor to dream apparently.

Speaker 2 (35:42):
Oh man, no, it's like Renny Harlan definitely was thinking
of Hell Razor two when he showed that moment, because
she's standing there with the mirror in front of her
and the wind blowing her hair around and then the
blood trickling like it's so Hell Razor.

Speaker 3 (35:55):
And I noticed on this viewing for the first time
that the all of those times where she's meeting Charge,
except for I think the one time in the hotel,
they're on the cliff, and I never put that together.

Speaker 2 (36:03):
Oh yeah, yeah, you're right.

Speaker 3 (36:05):
So, so basically from that point she is told that
her name's Charlie and she's gonna love her. And that
is when we cut to a neighborhood where we see
Mitch sitting with his son Todd and he's showing him
a place that he got for him. Todd's mother requests
that he comes in, and Todd informs him that he
can't accept the gift because you know how mom is.
So we kind of see that Mitch doesn't really have
a great relationship with his son, and well, he has

(36:25):
a good relationship with his son, but the mom really
doesn't want him around because she doesn't trust him.

Speaker 2 (36:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (36:29):
Yeah, so that is when we also see that Mitch
gets a page and his assistant informs him that they
have found a letter that has Samantha's original handwriting on it.
They found a stash of stuff from the old woman
as well, and that he is going to go see
her tonight because they're going to go track this stuff
down and see if they can dig a little bit
more into her past. At Samantha's they're prepping dinner, but

(36:50):
Samantha is struggling with cutting a carrot, even how it's
kind of giving her some crap for it, when suddenly
she starts chopping like a pro chef.

Speaker 2 (36:58):
Yeah, she is just slicing through everything, through everything like
a vegematic.

Speaker 3 (37:03):
And they get celebratory. They start throwing her peppers, They
start throwing all these things, and at one point they
tossed her a tomato and she's balancing the knife on
her finger at this point, and as the tomatoes tossed
to her, she throws the tomato, throws the knife, and
the tomato gets stuck into the wall.

Speaker 2 (37:15):
Which is such a great moment because then when the
camera cuts back to Geena Davis, she goes, chefs do that?

Speaker 3 (37:21):
Chefs do that?

Speaker 2 (37:22):
Yeah, because she she's convinced at this juncture that she
must have been a chef because she has all this
muscle memory.

Speaker 3 (37:28):
Yeah. Yeah, and how seeing this is obviously a little nervous.

Speaker 2 (37:32):
Yeah, that would startle me a little bit.

Speaker 3 (37:33):
So we cut to an airplane hangar where we see
a man chained up who's being interrogated by our villain Timothy,
and he basically tells this guy that he knows when
somebody's lying just by looking into their eyes. Timothy also
gets a call on his cell phone and we find
out that one eyed Jack, the man that was in
the cell watching the coverage of Samantha on the TV,
has escaped from prison and that due to seeing Charlie,
he has gone crazy and he wants to find her.

(37:55):
Timothy was supposed to have killed Charlie, who is called
Charlene by this point, well, right, and that's when he
basically says, all right, I'll look into this, and he
kills the guy he's interrogating, and that's when we get
the first introduction of Timothy, who is a motherfucker in this.

Speaker 2 (38:08):
Movie, well somewhat literally. Hey hey, now, So.

Speaker 3 (38:14):
That is when we then cut to the ice rink
the next day, where we see Caitlyn and Samantha on
the ice and Caitlyn's having some trouble skating. She's afraid,
and she actually, you know, tells her that, you know,
she doesn't know she wants to do this, and that's
when Samantha's like, you can do this, you know, go
out and skate. So Samantha goes out and skate, gets
about a couple of feet and then falls and she's crying,
saying she wants to go home, she's hurt. When suddenly
Samantha's tone changes a little bit to the Charlie tone

(38:36):
that we heard in the dream, and she basically tells
her to stop being a little baby, get up. Life
is pain, and she will skate to the shore and
not fall again. Do you wonder do we understand each other?

Speaker 2 (38:47):
Hey, that's that's that's some parenting. So later that night,
my dad, my dad thought that would work. I could
see that, Oh you could. Yeah, it didn't.

Speaker 3 (38:56):
It didn't.

Speaker 2 (38:56):
It didn't. No, you know, it made me worse.

Speaker 3 (39:00):
I can also see that.

Speaker 2 (39:01):
Yes, thanks.

Speaker 3 (39:03):
So later that night, snow is falling outside of Samantha's
house and Hal checks on Caitlyn, who we see is
now in a cast. He then goes up to the
treehouse where we see that Samantha is, you know, she's
just cuddle up against the side, and that's when we're
found that Caitlyn suffered a fracture and she's feeling so
bad because not only does she not remember what she
said to her, she has no memory of what happened,
so she kind of had a black autbum a. So

(39:26):
Caitlyn has accidentally suffered a fracture and she feels terrible
for it, and that's when Howl goes to comfort her.
But even Samantha flinches and she's like, you know, and
he's like, hey, don't be afraid of me. She's like,
it's not you I'm afraid of I'm basically afraid of me.

Speaker 2 (39:38):
Yeah, Yeah, she's afraid she'll, you know, effortlessly react and
break his face.

Speaker 3 (39:43):
So I know what you're thinking so far. To your listener,
if you haven't seen this movie, you're like, man, when
is this going to get into the action. Well, we
suddenly start to hear some carollers, and we see how
it starts to smile because the sound of carolers makes
both of them happy. But we cut to the caroler
singing and we see that somebody in the Carolyn group
has a gun on the carrillers, forcing them to sing.

Speaker 2 (40:02):
Yeah, which I mean, that's how I have to get
a lot of the people around me to have festival
festive cheer. Frankly some years, that's how I feel with
my whole family, getting everybody on board for the holidays. Yeah,
I'm like, you're gonna smile, You're gonna eat the fucking
ham everyone's happy. Give me your Amazon wish list code.

Speaker 3 (40:25):
So Samantha goes to the door and she's got a
bowl of eminems. So she's gonna give the carrot, which
I thought was odd. Just a bowl of eminem's. Is
that what it is? Because it's what it's what he
trips on.

Speaker 2 (40:35):
Oh uh, I mean usually you give them something.

Speaker 4 (40:38):
Yes, yeah, do you even movie will be right back,
welcome back to do you Even movie?

Speaker 3 (40:58):
Anyway, So she goes to the door with some can
and that's when one eyed Jack comes through the carriller's
spread and he's got a shotgun. He fires one shot
as Samantha tries to fight him, and we see that
the shot misses her. Holle even tries to step in
and help her but Jack, but he ends up slipping.
And that's also when Jack slips as well on the
bowl of candy, firing a shot that goes right through
the wall, blowing a hole through the fucking wall.

Speaker 2 (41:20):
Yeah, this shotgun packs a wallop.

Speaker 3 (41:23):
It does, indeed, So Samantha, thinking fast, grabs Caitlin hurls
her across the hole into the treehouse because it's just
the lightning's perfect.

Speaker 2 (41:30):
Right through the hole in the wall onto the treehouse
and it's a sweet looking fact.

Speaker 3 (41:35):
So she starts fighting with Jack. They make their way
into the kitchen. He's got her over the sink at
one point and she grabs a pie, smashing it into
his face, which is now bloody, and he falls to
the ground. She not only punches him in the back
of the head, but then just stands right over him
snaps his neck right in front of Howl.

Speaker 2 (41:52):
Yeah, she roughs him up, and it's not just with
anger and aggression, it's with a level of like of
martial arts discipline, precision. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (42:02):
Yeah. And not only that, but then she also just
like takes a little cream off the top of his
head from the pie and says, chefs do that as
she licks her fingers right in front of Howl.

Speaker 2 (42:11):
Yeah, with fucking blood. Blood, indeed blood, She's tasting blood
and cream yep, which I mean, if cream can cut
the terrible taste of coffee, I guess it'll make blood
okay too.

Speaker 3 (42:20):
Who knows. So sirens ring out as police arrive. We
also see that Mitch is there because Samantha runs out
to see if Caitlyn's okay. Mitch tells her that Caitlin's okay.
They're pointing their guns at her. The next morning, though,
we see that Samantha and Mitch are going on a
trip to try and find out more about her identity,
and she tells Caitlyn to keep a candle lit in
the window for her.

Speaker 2 (42:38):
I know it's a very emotional time for you.

Speaker 3 (42:40):
David to keep a candle lit in the window.

Speaker 2 (42:42):
It candle for your mom.

Speaker 3 (42:45):
And writes her portable cell number on her cast as well,
and even gives her bear a bracelet which has the
key that we mentioned in the beginning for the safety
deposit box that I just gave that away.

Speaker 2 (42:54):
Whoops, Wow, where's the button? Spoiler alert?

Speaker 3 (42:58):
Yeah, my bad. So that is when we also see
that she is assuring her that, or that's when how
it basically tells her, you know, hey, no matter what
you find out about the person that you used to be,
I'm still going to love you for who you are.
You know, I'm not afraid of you. Nothing that you
can do is going to make me afraid of you.
I'm still going to.

Speaker 2 (43:15):
Love you every time you go away.

Speaker 3 (43:19):
So that is when we see that they cut to
the White House and we are with the President who
is discussing Charlene's resurfacing.

Speaker 2 (43:28):
That escalated quickly, Yes, all of a sudden. Now we're
at the White House.

Speaker 3 (43:31):
Yes, So they're upset because not only has this mess
been dumped into his lap, but also he is he's
upset because they wanted to secure government funding. And that's
when he also has the line of you all come
to me every year one of your government funding, wondering
where it went healthcare.

Speaker 2 (43:47):
Well, he's threatening him. He's saying like he's basically saying like,
if you don't solve this, then I'm putting it in
health health instead, which I love that. That's the threat,
is like, well, I'll put the money for your operation
into healthcare. Yeah, I see you like that.

Speaker 3 (43:59):
That's what we meet Leland Perkins, who is I think
he is. Is he a head of the government agency
something something like that. Yeah, And he's talking to the President.
So Samantha and mitchroll dripping along the road, and that's
when she, you know, he's like, you know, are you cold?
And she's like yeah, and he's like, Okay, go ahead
and turn the heat on. It doesn't work, but it
makes a really annoying sound.

Speaker 2 (44:19):
It makes a distract you from how cold it is.

Speaker 3 (44:21):
Yeah. So we also see her looking at the postcard
that's addressed to her, finding out that she had addressed
it to her fiance. Mitch almost drives off the road
admiring a woman jogging, and this causes a whole conversation
of them to basically talk about the attraction that men
have for that sort of thing, and that this is
kind of their initial bonding that they have basically kind
of sensing each other.

Speaker 2 (44:39):
Get to each other.

Speaker 3 (44:41):
So she sees that the name is Nathan Waldman that
is signed in this book that was in the Samantha
Canes stuff that they got, So she decides to make
a call to the number that's on there. So we
cut to a nice estate where we see a man
who is Nathan, you know, enjoying his dinner, or at
least he's trying to. But the woman that he's with
has a dog and it will not stop licking its ass.

(45:01):
So that's that's when the phone starts ringing, and Samantha
is calling him obviously, and he instantly recognized her voice
and calls her Charlie, and she says, you know my name,
and he what's my full name? And that's when he says,
your full name is Charlie Elizabeth Baltimore. He tells her
she may be in danger and that they must meet
at a train station tomorrow. So later that night, Mitch
and Samantha have stopped off at a motel as Samantha

(45:22):
practices her name. As we saw in the credits, Initially
the opening credits, we also hear Niche Mitch narrate what
he's doing by a blues tune that he basically sings
everything he does.

Speaker 2 (45:32):
DA gotta put.

Speaker 3 (45:36):
The keys in my pocket, So she picks up on that,
and that's also when we see that he notices that
she's been cursing a lot more because she's messing up
with the writing and she's dropping a couple f bombs,
and he's like, you know, do you curse this much?
Usually because like when I met you, you were a
real Fooie I Burnt the muffins type of person, and
she basically tells him to mind his own business. She's

(45:57):
not amused. She even shuts the door because he's smoking
the hotel room and she doesn't want to smell it.
So that's when they've gotten Samantha Cayne' stuff at this point,
and she's in the room now with a suitcase. She
pulls everything out of the suitcase and starts finding a
secret compartment in the suitcase, opening it up to reveal
a high powered rifle and a knife.

Speaker 2 (46:14):
And her reaction is not fear. Her reaction is simple awareness,
as she immediately assembles the rifle, so without any hesitation.

Speaker 3 (46:23):
No hesitation whatsoever, and there are at least twenty pieces
of this rifle and she puts it together like it's nothing.
And that's when by this time, she's by a mirror
and she turns into the mirror to see that Charlie
is also in front of her with the rifle. But
also Charlie cuts her throat, waking her up. So Samantha
comes out of a dream and that's when she looks
on the bed to see the rifle is still fully assembled.

Speaker 2 (46:42):
Well, I mean, they ain't doing any good for you.

Speaker 3 (46:44):
In pieces, so she goes to grab it and hide it.
That's when Mixed spooks her by walking through the door
and she accidentally fires a shot right next to Mitch
as he ducks down. Next we see that Mitch is
wanting to leave. He's handing her money back, saying that
he's done. He doesn't want to be a part of this.
The situation's getting out of hand, and that's when she
pleads with them, adding that her memory feels like it's
locked inside her head. Do you know what that feels like?
And that's when Mitch also exposes that he spent four

(47:05):
years in prison and he is not going back.

Speaker 2 (47:07):
Yeah, she says, it feels like my brain is locked up.
I'm locked up inside my brain and I can't get out.
Do you know what that feels like. He's like, yeah,
I do, and I'm not gonna do it again.

Speaker 3 (47:16):
So we see them driving on the road in the night,
and that's when Mitch tells her a story about seven
years ago he was in an Atlanta cop and there
was a partner he had that didn't like him, and
that they were also manning the evidence room and one
day a thing of bonds went missing and an anonymous
tip basically e leaked that they were in his closet.
And she's like, oh, so he framed it and he's like, oh, hell, no,
I stole the damn things.

Speaker 2 (47:37):
No, I did it, yeah.

Speaker 3 (47:38):
Adding he's never done one right thing in his life
and that takes skill. Mitch then takes the money back,
telling her that he will drive her to the train
station to meet Walden so they can figure out what
is going on. So the next morning, they arrive at
the train station ten minutes early, and Mitch states that
he's got a bad feeling as he grabs a pistol
from his trunk as they go in. Samantha goes to
sit at the bar and sitting down, she is handed
a Budweiser, and to the left of her, we see

(48:00):
that Timothy is also at the bar, and he asked her,
you know, do I know you await? Is that a
pickup line? And they kind of exchange a little uh
not flirtatious, but like.

Speaker 2 (48:11):
Well, I mean he's really feeling her out.

Speaker 3 (48:12):
He's feeling her out.

Speaker 2 (48:13):
He's well, I think his thought is that he's being
funny by flirting because they're in public. But when he
notices she reacts just like a literal stranger.

Speaker 3 (48:22):
Who just you know, is being does not recognize him.

Speaker 2 (48:25):
Yeah, he Because that's the moment is when she says like,
I don't think we have bet and he's like, you have, Yeah,
we haven't. Yeah, he's very surprised.

Speaker 3 (48:32):
Yeah, So that's when he walks out to the center
of the room and he basically tells his men via
over the earpiece that they're going to move in and
kill them both. So we see him give the order.
A gentleman begins to approach her as Mitch's joined her
at the bar now and we see a guy with
a nice hat he's walking up. We think it might
be Walden or they think it is. Nope, it's an assassin.
As he draws a silence pistol out, but before he
can get a shot off, Mitch shoots him dead.

Speaker 2 (48:54):
Boom. I mean it is an epic shot.

Speaker 3 (48:56):
Yeah, And men just siege on the station. At this point,
we see civilians getting shot down. They're mowing down everything
trying to get to Samantha and Mitch, and they are
just blowing this train station lobby up. And that's when
Mitch and Samantha go up the stairs. They get an
oozy off a gunman and that's when Mitch tells her
that he's got three shots left. She's got one clip
to spray and prey. Except the grenade comes around the
corner and he says, fuck it. Run.

Speaker 2 (49:18):
That's a great moment, very shame black kind of moment. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (49:22):
So they're running. There's nowhere to go, and that's when
Samantha says, yes, there is. Taking his gun, she shoots
through a window. They jump and they go running at
the window, jumping through the window, going right down into
an ice pond. But she uses the machine gun to
shoot through the ice and they plummet through safe and sound,
except they're freezing fucking golds.

Speaker 2 (49:39):
A little, a little on the chilli side, baby.

Speaker 3 (49:41):
So they quickly run back to the parking lot as
Nathan shows up running down one of the gunmen that's
right close to them, and he tells them to get
in now. Mitch comments on them jumping out a window,
and that's when Uh, Brian as Brian Cox is one
of my favorite lines of this movie, where he's like, yes, yes,
it was very exciting, and tomorrow we'll go to the zoo.

Speaker 2 (49:58):
It was very exciting, and tomorrow we'll go to the zoo.

Speaker 3 (50:01):
A very shame black life.

Speaker 2 (50:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (50:02):
Yeah, So that's when we meet Nathan Walden and that's
when he basically explains that he gives Samantha a gun,
and that's when Mitch is like, you have any more
of those? And he's like, yes, I actually have two more,
one in my belt, one on my leg that may
come back later. So he also comments that her name
is Charlene and that she the school teacher. Samantha never existed.

(50:24):
It was a cover that was created that she bought,
revealing that she's an assassin for the government and was
trained by him. He tells her that October ninety eight,
she was assigned to take out an ammunition dealer, but
when she failed that she would basically disappeared, and he
comments that Douglas is clearly aware. Now as the train
station proves that he has sent men on her, Mitch
is suspicious and as they get to a destination, he

(50:45):
grabs a tire iron from a trunk approaches him, and
that's when Brian Cox is like, hey, you know, what
are you thinking? But both Samantha and Mitchell in On
are in this together and they basically take Nathan down
to the ground, stealing his car. As Samantha comments the
next move is to meet the fiance on the post.
Mitch is obviously uneasy about this, but the two drive
out of the country.

Speaker 2 (51:03):
Yeah, why the hell not?

Speaker 4 (51:06):
Do You Even? Movie? Will be right back, welcome back
to Do You Even?

Speaker 1 (51:19):
Movie?

Speaker 3 (51:24):
So we see them pull up to a nice house
with a farm, and we see a man chopping wood
played by the great David Morse. He's shocked to see
her as he states that she believes his name is
Luke and she was going to marry him. That's when
he drops his wood and embraces her. Calling her Charlie
lifting her up. But that's when Mitch waste no time
at all showing him the gun, saying she's like my
sister and right now I don't trust you, yeah, or

(51:46):
she's like my daughter.

Speaker 2 (51:46):
Well, and this is you know, this is where we're
really starting to figure out that these two have bonded, yeah,
in a special way, and that's important to the story.

Speaker 3 (51:55):
Absolutely is. So the three stand in a stable as
the guy known as Luke tries to explo that they
were in love, and Samantha starts rattling off facts that
she knows about him, asking to speak to him alone,
as Mitch watches from a distance. As Mitch is watching,
Nathan sneaks up, putting a gun to him, putting him
against the wall and telling him to drop the rifle.
That's when he informs him that he got the address
from a notebook in his pocket, along with the address

(52:15):
above the strip club, and this drawing of a penis
when he goes, that's not a dick, that's a duck.

Speaker 2 (52:21):
Everyone's a critic.

Speaker 3 (52:23):
So that's when he also tells Nathan the situation, and
Nathan informs her that Max that is the name that
Uncle Max is one of the the aliases they have
in this that he's actually the agency, and if they're engaged,
it means that the guy Luke is a target. So
Charlie was due to assassinate this guy. So they run out,
screaming to Samantha as a helicopter shows up and cars
emerge around them. We see Timothy is in the helicopter

(52:45):
waving to her with the rifle, and that's when the
guy had known as Luke punches her, knocking her out,
which revealing that he is actually Douglas.

Speaker 2 (52:52):
Well, and that's one of the I would say one
of the themes of this film is identity, Yeah, and suddenly
and not so subtly. Yeah, Because constantly we're thinking somebody
is something that they're not, that they're one person when
they're really somebody else. But we also have characters who
think there's somebody when they may be somebody else, somebody else,

(53:13):
And it's not always a bad thing no either.

Speaker 3 (53:15):
So when Samantha comes to, she finds herself tied to
a water wheel, as Douglas explains. Douglas speaks to Timothy,
who is now with him, stating he believes her amnesia
until she showed up here, and now he wants to
know what she knows and who she's told.

Speaker 2 (53:29):
Da da da da duh. He's gonna kill that white woman, dada.

Speaker 3 (53:34):
So he cranks the wheels, sending her down into the
freezing water, and that's when she sees the corpse of Nathan,
who they've already previously drowned. We keep her down there
for about twenty seconds before wheeling her back up. Timothy
questions if she remembers anything at all, and he once
again is convinced that she doesn't and tells Douglas to
drown her before he leaves.

Speaker 2 (53:50):
And should be mentioned, the water is freezing her lips coat.
She comes out with her lips blue. Yeah, the first time.

Speaker 3 (53:58):
They're all in winter coats and everything because it's snow around.

Speaker 2 (54:00):
Yeah, like just they really sell how cold it is.

Speaker 3 (54:05):
So Douglas asked her if she's told anyone again, and
Samantha states that she's not Charlie, and Douglas comments he
hates to see her like this as she was once
a hell of a spy, Samantha, as Charlie states, watch
your back, I'm not done yet. So that's when he
loves her back into the water. We see flashbacks of
one eye, Jack and Timothy opening a trunk as he
instructs Jack to dump her, not do anything with her,

(54:27):
just kill her and get over this with And that's
when we see Jack and Charlie on the edge of
a cliff as he's going to inject her with something
to poison her. She suddenly comes to stabbing him in
the eye with the syringd which we forgot to mention
he is missing one eye and even comments that he
wants his eye back, yeah.

Speaker 2 (54:41):
You know, well yeah maybe, yeah.

Speaker 3 (54:42):
Yeah, And he goes running and she goes running. That's
when he fires off several shots at her. One of
them hits her in the side as she goes over
the side of the cliff, basically showing the audience now
that Charlie is back, that this, this rush of memory
has brought Charlie back.

Speaker 2 (54:56):
Charlie.

Speaker 3 (54:57):
So that is when back in reality, Samantha is emerged
from the water as Charlie calling Luke Douglas now and
telling him to let her go and she'll let him
keep his legs. He questions why is she back, what's
going on? And she comments, since he touched her, she
thinks that he needs that she needs to have a bath,
so Douglas lowers her back into the water again as
Charlie goes to work on the ropes of one of

(55:18):
on the her right hand, getting her hand free, and
then she goes into Nathan's pants, retrieving the pistol that
he had mentioned in the car as well. Yes, so
she is now armed. He wheels her back up and
says she breaks surface. She fires three shots into Douglas,
dropping him to the ground. She frees her other hand
and approaches him, and he calls her Samantha, begging for
his life. And that's when she questions who's Samantha and

(55:39):
asks where is Mitch? And when we see Mitch, My god,
my heart always breaks for that moment. I forgot about that. Yeah,
because he is clearly at the bottom of his basement,
tied up. They've stripped him and he's been beaten, so
he's just sitting there just basically waiting to die. Suddenly
the door opens, we hear gunshots, and then we see
this door open and this flash of beam of light
comes through and Charlie stands at the top.

Speaker 2 (56:00):
Yeah. No, it's awesome. It's an awesome moment.

Speaker 3 (56:02):
So now we're in New Jersey finally, which eccent. So
that is we see that Charlie is now in full swing.
She's doing her hair, doing her nails, doing her makeup,
changing everything about her, and Mitch is asleep in the
other room, not realizing any of this is going on. Well, yeah,
so that is at the point. Then Mitch also gets

(56:24):
up and we see that Samantha has torn up pictures
of her Caitlin and Howe and they're in the trash
and he retrieves one of them.

Speaker 2 (56:32):
She has some kind of a strange anger towards the
Samantha light.

Speaker 3 (56:35):
Towards the Samantha life indeed, So that's when he retrieves
one of them from the trash. As Charlie enters the room,
he is confused by her new appearance, and even she
comments that his wound looks infected, and so she goes
to distract him, lifting up her top as she rips
the bandage off.

Speaker 2 (56:50):
Such a great moment again, so Shane Black.

Speaker 3 (56:54):
So that's when she introduces herself as Charlie, and of
course this is taking Mitch aback and she's like, you
need a drink and he accepts. So Charlie informs him
Samantha never existed and was just a creation, adding look
what she did to her, commenting on her large ass
She requests that they change the subject from Samantha as
Charlie tells him her plan is to enroll back in
the agency and start basically taking jobs again. So that's

(57:15):
when we see Perkins receives a call from Charlie telling
him that since Douglas is dead, she completed her assignment.
She adds that she wants to come in, and Perkins
tries the director to a safe house, but Charlie tells
him that she's calling the shots and he and will
reach back out when she's ready to speak to him.
Perkins then asks Timothy, who is in the office with him,
if he heard the call, and Timothy questions if she
remembers Douglas, does she know about Project Honeymoon now, and

(57:38):
that's when Perkins tells her that he has twenty four
hours to find her and kill her, and he cannot
have anyone know that Timothy is working for him or
it's his ass So the White House has no idea
that he's got a fucking arms dealer on his payroll.

Speaker 2 (57:49):
Yeah, you know that might actually I think it'd be fine.

Speaker 3 (57:53):
Yeah, you know fine. So Charlie informs Mitch that she
doesn't trust Perkins and expects him to trace the call
to their location and if Mitch is captured into then
that proves good reason that she should not trust Perkins.

Speaker 2 (58:03):
Hey, that's pretty sound logic.

Speaker 3 (58:06):
So that's when they go back to the hotel suite
and Charlie tries to put the moves on Mitch, biting
his ears, groping him. Mitch isn't having it, telling her
that he believes that she wants to fuck him simply
to basically kill the last side of Amantha. Samantha holding
up the picture that she had torn, and that's when
she gets upset again.

Speaker 2 (58:22):
He's not much of a cad after all this.

Speaker 3 (58:25):
Now, So that's when Samantha decides that she's going to
leave the hotel for a little bit. She starts walking
the street and a guy to ask her, you know,
does she wants some company? And she says jokingly says no, no,
I think if I go this way, I might get raped.
And that's when the guy's like, well hey and holds
up a gun, telling her to go into the alley,
so he gets her into the alley and that's when
she's looking around for other Headhunters and Mitch then shows

(58:48):
up as he's got the gun pointed on Samantha and
basically tells the guy that because the guy's like, this
is a big fucking gun, and Mitch goes, this isn't
a ham on rye listening a ham on rye a
giant fucking hand cannon.

Speaker 2 (58:59):
On this guy. Three fifty seven magna, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (59:01):
Three fifty seven, And that's when Charlie quickly dispatches the
one head hunter, and then three others show up and
she dispatches them quickly, confirming that Perkins does want her dead.
She says they need to get out of New Jersey.

Speaker 2 (59:12):
Good luck. Actually that's one of my favorite lie. He says,
many have tried and failed. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (59:16):
Mitch even contemplates if she needs him anymore, and that's
when Charlie comments, good point, before shoving Mitch out the
door onto the street, and Mitch, being the absolute hero
that he is, just lays on his back, pulls out
a cigarette, lights it, smokes it, and she rounds the
block like a couple times, like speeding through, then pulls
up next to him is like, hey, get in.

Speaker 2 (59:36):
It's a great I there's so much to love about
this film.

Speaker 3 (59:39):
So Mitch asked, you know, does he have used for
him now? And that's when she says, yes, she's leaving
the country and she needs money in a new identity
and Mitch's like, oh, yeah, well, let me just go
into where I have all this money, and that's when
she had she doesn't need to worry about that because
the key that's on her charm bracelet is actually for
a safety deposit box in Boston and that they have
to return to Honesdale to get it.

Speaker 2 (01:00:00):
Honesdale. That sounds like a Central Jersey to me.

Speaker 3 (01:00:03):
So we see the next morning they've arrived as Charlie
leaps out of the moving car telling basically telling Mitch
that if there's any trouble, to warn her by honking.
And that's when she sneaks over a fence and finds
Ronald smoking a cigarette, and that's when he's like miss
Kane and she's like, Ronald, what I tell you about smoking?
Taking a cigarette from him, taking a hit, And that's

(01:00:23):
when she also says, if you tell anybody you saw me,
I'll come back and fucking kill you.

Speaker 2 (01:00:26):
Yeah, yeah, do You Even?

Speaker 4 (01:00:30):
Movie will be right back. Welcome back to do You Even?

Speaker 1 (01:00:41):
Movie.

Speaker 3 (01:00:46):
So that's when Samantha sneaks into the house. She's searching
for Caitlin's bear because that's where the charm bracelet was
put around its neck, and that's when she finds the
bear with the key. Charlie looks out the window though,
as she looks over to the church where they're having
the Christmas program and looks through a scope of her
rife full looking at Hal and Caitlin. Suddenly Mitch sounds
the horn, warning her that intruders are here. As we see,
company has arrived and is pursuing him in the car,

(01:01:07):
firing at him. So then she goes out the back door.
We see a pair of skates. She grabs the pair
of skates, and then fucking Samantha as Charlie is completely
skating across this rink, keeping up with Mitch and these
guys that are shooting on them, And then the car
goes onto the ice and she starts gunning them down
on the ice on skates.

Speaker 2 (01:01:25):
It's guys, you gotta you gotta see this.

Speaker 3 (01:01:29):
Yeah, you gotta see this movie. So she gets everybody
dead in the car and that's when.

Speaker 2 (01:01:34):
With such a quickness, i mean, shown three times that
the windshield and three guys are dead.

Speaker 3 (01:01:40):
And Mitch witnesses us all. So we see Caitlin at
the at the church as the program's finishing, and that's
when Timothy swoops in, gassing her, kidnapping her, even shows
the youth leader a gun and basically tells her to
stay out, stay out of this, and stay quiet, don't
tell anybody. So Charlie and Mitch continue driving as he
asks could she and shot them the shoulder, and that's
when she tells him to back off. Charlie's phone starts
ringing as the call comes in from Timothy telling her

(01:02:03):
that he has Caitlin and he asks for her location.
As she gives it, he tells her he doesn't like
cell phones that he wants her to go to a landline.
That's when Charlie hangs up, tells Mitch the situation, and
Mit suggests why don't they trace the call? And she's like, well,
how are we going to do that? And he's like,
let's go to the phone.

Speaker 2 (01:02:17):
Company, you know, i mean, sounds obvious.

Speaker 3 (01:02:20):
So they break into the phone company. They've got their
guns and that's when they tell one of the workers
that she's got forty minutes to basically do a trace
and run a patch, and that's when Timothy calls in.
Charlie asks him to verify. Well, let me back up
for a second, because when Timothy calls in, Samuel L.
Jackson is at the desk and he's like holiday inn.
And that's when Timothy asked for her room, and that's
when Charlie asked like that she is at the location.

(01:02:41):
She keeps him on the line, and that's when they
find out that he is at Niagara Falls and that
she also that he's going to keep Caitlin until she arrives,
and also that he got the number off her cask
and confirming that he does really have her. So that's
when she decides that they're going to go to Niagara
Falls because that is the confirmation of where Operation Honeymoon

(01:03:03):
was going to be started. So Mitch and Charlie arrive
at Timothy's compound in Niagara Falls. We see Perkins is
there and Timothy look over Caitlyn as Charlie breaks down
the plans for Mitch that she is going to lay
down cover fire for him and she's gonna try to
sneak in as well and give him give her a
signal if anything goes wrong. Charlie tells him that they're
gonna they may possibly blow her head off and this
is the last time that she'll ever be pretty. She

(01:03:24):
kisses him on the cheek and advances towards the compound.

Speaker 2 (01:03:27):
It's a very sweet moment, so really great.

Speaker 3 (01:03:30):
Yeah, we see that the compound is heavily guarded, but
Charlie quickly dispatches one of the guys and then she
notices a candle burning in the window.

Speaker 2 (01:03:39):
I can remember when I can see why you were
choked up by that.

Speaker 3 (01:03:42):
So she quickly kills the guard that's guarding Caitlin by
knocking on the door and she shoots through the peepole.
That's when she sneaks Caitlyn out, but Mitch watches her,
and that's when Timothy sneaks up very lethal weapon like
with what's his face? Oh my god, I can't think
of the villain's name and lethal weapon. That is the
guy from lyyl Lah and Halloween six, the head of

(01:04:02):
Shadow Company.

Speaker 2 (01:04:04):
Steaks up on the way the Siper arrival.

Speaker 3 (01:04:07):
Yeah, so that's when we find out that he was
completely onto this plan. He alerts his men. Lights come
up in the yard, and that's when she's blasted at
and she falls into a basement, at a basement that
is now being riddled with bullets, and as the ricochet
off hitting kerosene, one man threatens to drop a match
if she doesn't want to back down, and that's when
we also see that Caitlin was gifted a doll by Perkins.
It's a peeing doll, and we just see that she

(01:04:29):
looks out of this doll, looks at the kerosene, and
that's all we get for this moment, for a moment.
So Mitch and Charlie are apprehended, held in front of
Perkins and Timothy, and Charlie puts together the operation Honeymoon
was put together for budget cuts in the government. Project
Honeymoon was intended to be a false flag chemical bomb
detonation in Niagara Falls planned by the CIA in an
attempt to blame Islamic terrorists and secure more funding. Charlie

(01:04:51):
realizes that Timothy and a new group are plotting to
restage the attack led by Perkins in this case, and
Mitch asked about faking the attack, and that's some Perkin confirms,
you know, you can't fit killing four thousand people, So
I guess we're just gonna do it.

Speaker 2 (01:05:03):
Hey, you know what, if it's anything worth doing, is
worth doing, right.

Speaker 3 (01:05:07):
So they're gonna do it via a chemical bomb on
a semi that they're going to send into a nearby town.
And that is when he also states that they're going
to suffocate Charlie and Caitlin into a freezer that is
also at this spot. And that's when Charlie takes a
second to tell Timothy to look into Caitlyn's eyes because
that night that her and Timothy had a rendezvous before
everything went south, they had sex and Caitlin is his

(01:05:29):
daughter oo, and she's like, you know, look into it,
look into he rise if you don't believe me.

Speaker 2 (01:05:34):
That's a great moment too. So when he looks the
kid in the eyes, regardless of the fact that the
child may favor him slightly. Yeah, what sells the idea
that he sees himself in the little girl's eyes is
his acting and the music. Yeah, because the music swells
and becomes really intense telling us that the reality is

(01:05:56):
that he sees his own eyes in her eyes. And
I I love that moment because that is such a
hard moment to imagine doing well. But in reality, all
it took was the music.

Speaker 3 (01:06:10):
And Gena Davis just basically uses his own words against
him and basically says, am I lying, And he's pissed
so he walks out, and that's when Geena Davis as
Charlie tells Caitlin that they're gonna hibernate just like the
bears did, because the intention is to kill them both,
suffocating them in the freezer. Yeah, so that's when we
also see that they shut the door, turning the freezer

(01:06:31):
on to kill Charlie and Caitlin, but Charlie gets to
work hacking at the ground outside. Timothy's men load the
chemical bomb into the tanker for the attack, while Charlie
digs under the freezer door, making a small gap and
then using Caitlyn's retainer and the doll with the kerosene
in it as she as the doll, pies the kerosene.

Speaker 2 (01:06:48):
Which filling the peeing baby doll with kerosene. Genius, so good, genius.

Speaker 3 (01:06:54):
So that's when she goes to work on the ground
trying to pound it and get a spark going. Meanwhile,
Timothy goes to visit Mitch, who was tied to a
chair in the hotel that's on the compound, telling him
that since it's Christmas Eve, he'll give him a choice
a knife or a gun, and he also throws the
knife right at his crotch but misses, like barely.

Speaker 2 (01:07:10):
Well, I I on purpose.

Speaker 3 (01:07:12):
On purpose, Yes, So Charlie can't get the spark going.
She starts to break down, crying, and that's when Kaitlyn
pulls out matches from her cast, saying that she kept
the matches in there to make sure that she was
able to light a candle for her every night. And
Charlie grabs on to Caitlin starts embracing her, and that's
when Caitlyn's like, are we gonna die? And She's like, no,
We're not gonna die. They're gonna die.

Speaker 2 (01:07:33):
Man, She's gonna be describing that to the therapist.

Speaker 3 (01:07:36):
Yeah, so lighting the fire, Timothy is about the fire
on Mitch. And the bomb goes or the fire, the
explosion goes off, and fucking Mitch is blasted out of
the window of this hotel one hundred feet into the snow.

Speaker 2 (01:07:50):
Yeah, and he.

Speaker 3 (01:07:51):
Still has the knife attached to his chairs. He breaks
the ground. The guard comes up to him, he takes
the knife, rams it right into a skull. Such a
badass mood.

Speaker 2 (01:07:58):
It's oh my god, this this finale is about to
get so crazy about too.

Speaker 3 (01:08:03):
So he sees that the explosion was definitely Charlie calls
her a foxy bitch, and that's when Charlie and Caitlyn
go outside and Charlie begins killing Timothy's men as she
tells Caitlin to hide. Mitch getting a hold of a
walkie talkie watches as Caitlin taking a hiding spot in
the cargo of a truck just happens to be the
truck that they've loaded the bomb onto.

Speaker 2 (01:08:22):
What are the odds?

Speaker 3 (01:08:23):
So we see Timothy tell his men the plan is
not changing, and as they are to go on a
schedule loading the corpse that they are duping the crime
onto and into the car that they're going to have
basically because they're going to set the bomb off five
miles down the road, the car is going to crash
and the semi is going to crash, causing the bomb
to go off when it reaches three hundred and twelve degrees.
That's when the chemical bomb will.

Speaker 2 (01:08:42):
Go off, which is almost as good as the plot
of Speed, I guess.

Speaker 3 (01:08:47):
A little bit. So Charlie is reached by Mitch, who
tells her he's gonna go after Caitlin with her his
back up. Through the scope, we see Mitch start to
make his way to the ground of the truck, and
she is giving him cover fire. He's also laying down
some fire as well, but unfortunately he's ambush and shot
down beside the truck, and we think this probably is
the end of what is Samuel Jackson's story in this movie.

Speaker 2 (01:09:06):
I mean, damn, he is bloody, he is hurt.

Speaker 3 (01:09:10):
So the truck begins to move out, with Caitlin still inside.
A bloody Mitch wiggles in the snow by the dupe car.
Charlie races off through the snowy forest, shooting a guard
dead and into the car and stealing it. But Timothy
is onto her, sending more men and even sending the
chopper back into the year.

Speaker 2 (01:09:23):
After her get through the chop.

Speaker 3 (01:09:25):
So we cut to the nearby town where a Christmas
Eve celebration is in progress. Charlie speeds through the town.
She hops onto the bomb truck, throwing the driver out
and she begins driving the car through the town with
Timothy's men right in pursuit. Getting the truck out of town.
Charlie goes to break but in the smarts of the plan,
the brake line's been cut, so as soon as she
hits that brake, that break line severs, and now she
has no control as she's going down a fricking incline.

Speaker 2 (01:09:47):
Yeah, and yeah, I'll be going down an incline in
a pick or a semi truck. Is not easy, no,
and that's with breaks.

Speaker 3 (01:09:55):
And that is when she says the beautiful line of
suck my dick, every one of you bastards. As she
rams through the brick wall of this bridge, Charlie crashes
the truck, turning it onto its side. The truck skirts
along the road, hitting right into Timothy's car, which Timothy's
car then flips over, and Charlie is surfing on top
of this semi Yes, yes, so she collides, flipping the car,

(01:10:17):
sending Charlie flying. Timothy ambushes her as they get into
a brawl with Timothy arm with a knife and she
even comments, oh honey, only four inches, and that's what
Timothy says, you will feel me, So she warms her
arms herself with a chain and the two fight over
and throwing themselves over the side of the bridge. As
Timothy is sent into the water below. Charlie clings to
a chain fence climbs back up as Timothy has also

(01:10:37):
survived and emerges on another side.

Speaker 2 (01:10:39):
Jeez, it's so much action. The ending is it's almost
mind belding.

Speaker 4 (01:10:46):
Do you even? Movie? Will be right back, welcome back
to do You even?

Speaker 1 (01:10:58):
Movie?

Speaker 3 (01:11:03):
So Charlie runs to Caitlin as the helicopter begins firing
on her, shooting a flare into the gunman's chest. As
he completely goes, a flame falls out of the helicopter
and he catches himself on some Christmas lights that are
strung up on the bridge, and that basically holds him
in place, which may come back in a second. Who knows, Oh,
I don't know. So that's when we also see that
Charlie rescues Caitlyn as she tells her to run. Caitlyn

(01:11:24):
begs her not to leave, but Charlie tells her that
she's right behind her, and by this point Charlie is
succumbing to her wombs and collapses right on the bridge,
so Caitlyn turns around as she stops running, looking back.
That's when Timothy flags down the helicopter to pick him up.
Caitlyn joins Charlie at her side, apologizing for leaving her,
calling her mommy, telling her to get up, basically doing
everything in the scene at the ice rink before. Yeah,

(01:11:45):
and that's when she's basically says, you know you can't die.
Stop being a little baby. You're not dead, and she
starts crying, ordering her to stand up right this minute.
Charlie comes too, slowly getting off the ground. The two
walk as we see Timothy now in the helicopter telling
his men to take them to the bridge. He is
not leaving until this bitch is dead, so he quickly
finds Charlie and Caitlyn on the bridge, opens fire, and

(01:12:07):
that's when they take shelter on the side of the
truck and Charlie, using the truck radio, begs for help
as one of the government men is like, no, no,
we can't do it. I'm sorry, whereas suddenly a bloody
Mitch comes into frames sitting in the driver's seat of
the dupe vehicle, drives out, commenting you can't kill me, motherfuckers, and.

Speaker 2 (01:12:27):
We're not even selling it hard.

Speaker 3 (01:12:29):
On his bringback, they have a like a electric guitar
whies out of the back of this semi driving onto
the road. He joins Charlie on the bridge with Caitlyn
as tim Timothy keeps firing on them. She gets Caitlyn
into the car and draws Timothy's attention away and he
follows her to the center of the bridge where the

(01:12:50):
helicopter guy's body is still a flame. But now she
sees those Christmas lights are hanging and they might be
some leverage to pull her up. As she slices the
strate out of Christmas lights, it sends her up. As
she grabs machine gun off the dead guard fires an
entire clip into Timothy, who falls out right on top
of the semi on the bomb. Because we did forget
to mention that she did tell Timothy that she was
that he was gonna die screaming and she was gonna

(01:13:11):
be there to watch.

Speaker 2 (01:13:13):
Well, that's always good to keep your promises.

Speaker 3 (01:13:15):
Yeah, So she fires an entire clip into him. He
falls on top of the truck and that's when she says,
I told you you'd die screaming. You motherfucker. Such a
good line. And that's when we also see that he
is now on top of the tanker. She gets into
the car with Mitch. The bomb is getting ready to
go off. Mitch is speeding away. We see two one
the truck blows up. And when I say this truck

(01:13:35):
blows up, the bridge blows up. The bridge is out.

Speaker 2 (01:13:39):
Everything in the eyeshot a.

Speaker 3 (01:13:43):
Ready Harlan fireball that we have come to know and love.
As we see them speeding away from nothing but flames
behind them, and that's when literally it starts raining cars
that are on fire because the bridge is blown up.
Set these cars on fire, so they're raining down in.

Speaker 2 (01:13:57):
Front of them. It's a sight to behold, really is.
It really makes you feel like it's Christmas.

Speaker 3 (01:14:03):
So we see them get away from the center of
the bridge, which is completely gone now there is no bridge,
and that's when sometime later down the road, Mitch pulls
off to the side, stating he can't drive anymore. And
he even asked Charlie if she's okay, and she's like,
are you stupid? And he tells Caitlin that she's got
her mommy's eyes and let no one tell her different.
And Charlie tells him, hey, hang on, don't you remember
we're rich now as she holds up the bracelets.

Speaker 2 (01:14:24):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (01:14:25):
So we see Charlie sometime later in the future driving
down the road in a corvette as the President calls
her apologizing for Perkins, you know, telling him wrong, and
even offering to bring her back into the field and
that he's got a handsome sum for her if she
wants it. She turns him down, but she's saying that
she's got all the money she needs, but there is
a favor that well.

Speaker 2 (01:14:43):
She says, you'd be surprised how much money a teacher
can make, and we.

Speaker 3 (01:14:46):
See that she's got the loot at this point, So
that's when she also asked the President for a favor,
and that's when we cut to Larry King live.

Speaker 2 (01:14:52):
Yes, and it is literally actually Larry King and.

Speaker 3 (01:14:57):
Mitch is a guest on there as they're exposing the
eruption that has happened in the government, and he's a
special guest being interviewed by Larry.

Speaker 2 (01:15:04):
Yeah, I love I love that moment too, because he's
just he's just chewing it up.

Speaker 3 (01:15:09):
Showing anything. And we also see that Todd and his
mother are watching, so his son and his ex wife
are watching. We cut back to Charlie, who is now
living as Samantha again. They bought a farm and in
a countryside. She's enjoying lunch with how but we also
hear that an annoying cricket is right by them and
they're eating I think they're eating chicken and yeah, and
that's when she takes her knife, throws it, and the

(01:15:29):
cricket stops chirping.

Speaker 2 (01:15:31):
It's a pretty great moment because you don't really you
just kind of don't even think about the cricket sound
because they're outside.

Speaker 3 (01:15:36):
They're outside.

Speaker 2 (01:15:37):
Yeah, yeah, and then it just stopped, just stops.

Speaker 3 (01:15:39):
So that's when Hale and Samantha joined Caitlin. As we
see they bought a farm. Now they're living in the countryside.
They're happy. The camera pulls out. We see the beautiful house,
the farm, animals and everything, and that, my friends, is
nineteen ninety Six's The Long Kiss good.

Speaker 2 (01:15:52):
Night and I mean a perfect happy ending. Yeah, definitely
a feel good action movie. Yeah, where nobody we liked
gets hurt.

Speaker 3 (01:16:03):
No, not at all. Well, Nathan, so would you like
to know some fun things about the film.

Speaker 2 (01:16:09):
They better be fun.

Speaker 3 (01:16:10):
What would you guess the budget is?

Speaker 2 (01:16:12):
I mean, it's a lot. I'm gonna guess higher than
I was going to cause Rennie Harlan.

Speaker 3 (01:16:19):
Yeah, and it was ninety six ninety six. This is
post cutthroat Island too well.

Speaker 2 (01:16:26):
Because it wouldn't be one hundred because that was like
terminator too money at that time.

Speaker 3 (01:16:30):
Nine hundred So fifty five close, sixty five million dollars
budget opening weekend, which was October thirteenth of nineteen ninety six.

Speaker 2 (01:16:44):
Fair enough.

Speaker 3 (01:16:45):
It makes nine million, sixty five or nine million, sixty
five thousand, three hundred and sixty three dollars. It grosses
in US and Canada thirty three million, grossing worldwide eighty
nine million. Okay, so modest, modest success. Shane Black became
the first writer to sell a script for four million dollars.
He later admitted that this caused a lot of envy
among his fellow screenwriters, as well as accusations of commercialism.

(01:17:08):
He voluntarily retired from the blockbuster industry for almost a
decade as a result.

Speaker 2 (01:17:13):
Well, you know, it's not that hard to do when
you just got to check for four million dollars.

Speaker 3 (01:17:16):
Yeah, screenwriter Shane Black sold the script for the movie
with the intention of Rennie Harland directing it and Geena
Davis starring in it. Harlan then told him he and
Davis were contractually bound to make Cutthroat Island in nineteen
ninety five first, which became one of the biggest box
office bombs of all time. Black later stated that this
may have caused bad advertisements that worked against the film
as well.

Speaker 2 (01:17:35):
Yeah. I feel like it. I would have imagined it
would do better, but then again, I mean, you just
never know.

Speaker 3 (01:17:39):
Yeah. The plot is loosely inspired by the Robert Ludlam
novel The Boorne Identity, which was made into a movie
of its own a few years later. A spy who
hunts terrorists, gets shot, almost drowns, wakes up with amnesia,
and uses clues to patch together their past links to
a shadowy government agency. Brian Cox, by the way, appears
in both films. Hey He Does Yeah. The film is
famous for being one of three big budget films that

(01:17:59):
came out the indie studio New Line Cinema in nineteen
ninety six and underperformed. The other two were The Island
of Doctor Burreau and Last Man Standing.

Speaker 2 (01:18:07):
Oh Man okay.

Speaker 3 (01:18:10):
Up until their release is Newline Cinema had specialized in
low to medium budgeted genre pictures.

Speaker 2 (01:18:15):
Yeah, that's yeah, those are big movies for the Newline
at that time.

Speaker 3 (01:18:18):
Samuel L. Jackson said in a GQ interview that he
read the script and really wanted the role, but the
studio said it was written as a white character. Jackson
then met Gina and Rennie at a Christmas party and
he told them he loved the script and wanted the role,
and Rennie said, you want to be in my film,
that you've got it, and.

Speaker 1 (01:18:31):
That was that.

Speaker 2 (01:18:32):
Hey, Rennie's not a dope.

Speaker 3 (01:18:34):
On The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon in twenty fourteen,
Jimmy Fallon in twenty nineteen, Samuel Jackson listed Mitch as
his favorite role.

Speaker 2 (01:18:43):
I could see that, yeah, although I don't know. His
character in Jackie Brown was pretty great too, pretty great.
But Mitch has a lot of redeeming qualities too. I
really like him.

Speaker 3 (01:18:52):
Gina Davis and then husband director Rennie Harlan checked how
long she could hold her breath in their bathtub to
prepare for the water torture scene.

Speaker 2 (01:19:00):
Well, you know, the weeks are long. You get bored
why not.

Speaker 3 (01:19:04):
At one point in The Long Kiss good Night, Jackson's
character Mitch Hennessy and Geena davis amnesic spy Charlie, escape
from pursuers by jumping out of a window, firing a
machine gun at the ice below so the water can
cushion their fall. Jackson told host Jennifer Hudson that filming
the scene required the actors to actually be submerged in
freezing cold water again and again. It was negative thirty
seven degrees that day. Jackson were called. They cut a

(01:19:25):
hole in the ice and they put a hot tub
in it to make sure we didn't float away because
there was a current in the lake. They had to
break the ice because it would freeze over between shots
and we would get in. They told us to count
to five and we would come up. Then we would
crawl across the ice and they put us in the
hot tub while they looked at the replay. Unfortunately, the
initial replay wasn't good enough for director Rennie Harlan, who
was married to Davis at the time, so as if

(01:19:47):
the sub zero swimming wasn't hard enough, Jackson and Davis
had to perform the stunt repeatedly we did it like
five times, Jackson said, I have never felt anything like
that in my life. You know the headache you get
when you drink milk too fast, multiply that by twenty
oh lord, My brain was like, what are we doing.
Davis also happened to talk about the stunt recently during
an appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden

(01:20:09):
last October. She said the actors only did three times,
but given the excruciating pain of the freezing water, it's
understanable that she and Jackson have slightly different memories of
that moment. It was like being hit in the head
with the sledgehammer, Davis said of the experience, I couldn't see, think,
or hear.

Speaker 2 (01:20:24):
I can't even imagine that. That's insanity.

Speaker 3 (01:20:26):
For the record, Gena Davis did her own stunts for
the film too.

Speaker 2 (01:20:30):
Geez, yeah, that's nuts.

Speaker 4 (01:20:33):
Do You Even? Movie will be right back. Welcome back
to Do You Even?

Speaker 1 (01:20:45):
Movie.

Speaker 3 (01:20:50):
One of the movie's original locations was a historic grand
hotel in Musaka, Ontario, the one hundred year old Windmere House.
During filming, however, the hotel fire and burned to the ground.
The heat from the film lights were initially blamed for
causing the blaze, but it was never proven that the
lights started the fire.

Speaker 2 (01:21:07):
Wow, yeah, that's right, that's blame the film production.

Speaker 3 (01:21:11):
Yeah, but the line, yes, it was very exciting. Tomorrow
we Go to the Zoo was recycled from Shane Black's
original script for The Last Boy Scout.

Speaker 2 (01:21:19):
Oh I could see that.

Speaker 3 (01:21:20):
Yeah. The ice skating scene were scripted to end with
Samantha performing a double axle flip and simultaneously firing over
her upside head. After two aerial rig configurations and sub
zero conditions and several attempts at green screening failed to
hold any convincing fluency to the actions, it was dropped
from the final cut of the film.

Speaker 2 (01:21:38):
Where did they film this again? Was it because it
was insanely cold?

Speaker 3 (01:21:43):
Yeah? It would have been Ontario.

Speaker 2 (01:21:44):
Oh yeah, that makes sense.

Speaker 3 (01:21:46):
Shane Black's original script was much darker for the film
and more graphic than the final film. Amongst the many
differences that included alternate action sequences, more violence like the
scene where Mitch and Charlie are captured and get tortured.
Both characters also had bigger backstories in the original script
to Mitch, at one point tells Charlie how he was
gang raped in prison, and how his wife refuses to
let him see his son because of what happened to him.

(01:22:06):
Charlie also had more of a dark backstory in the
script in the final film as well.

Speaker 2 (01:22:10):
Yeah, she tends to pack it with the heavy stuff.
Then it gets and then it gets drawn back a little.

Speaker 3 (01:22:16):
Bitah, I told you I read the original Last Boy
Scouts script. After reading that one, Yeah you did, dude, Jesus.
In the first draft of the screenplay, Mitch dies in
the from his bullet wounds. Test. Audiences liked his character
and performance so much that the ending was reshot letting
him live to save the day and redeem himself.

Speaker 2 (01:22:32):
Oh wow, Yeah, I mean, because it is a pretty
happy ending.

Speaker 3 (01:22:35):
Gina Davis was the first female actor to ever say
suck my dick in a movie in this film.

Speaker 2 (01:22:42):
She was the first one to say it in a
movie in this film, WHOA.

Speaker 3 (01:22:46):
In several scenes from the hotels, the mini bar contains vodka,
a Finnish brand Finlandia obviously plays there by Rennie Harlowe.

Speaker 2 (01:22:52):
Oh he's finished.

Speaker 3 (01:22:54):
During development, New Line Cinema considered turning the lead character
into a male Steven Sagall and Sylvester s Alone were
considered suitable choices. If the lead had gone that way,
wouldn't have worked. Craig Ferguson auditioned for the role of Timothy.

Speaker 2 (01:23:07):
Oh my god, I could see it. Yeah, I don't
like it, but I can see it. Yeah. I like
Craig fergus I love Greg Versus.

Speaker 3 (01:23:15):
This is the last page of Black's original nineteen ninety
four scripts stated there would be a sequel called The
Kiss After Lightning that never happened. While a possible sequel
was reportedly in the works in two thousand and seven,
no sequel has ever been produced. As of twenty twenty four.

Speaker 2 (01:23:27):
Yeah, well, I mean I don't know that we need more. Yeah,
you know, I kind of like knowing that Samantha gets
to live her happy life.

Speaker 3 (01:23:35):
Yeah, that'd be terrible if like they just Seege on
the farm, like that's the opening of them.

Speaker 2 (01:23:39):
You mean, like what they did to Rambo and Commando.
I mean, I love I love the Rambo movies. Yeah,
but when they started adding Rambo movies after part four,
they his story ended so happy in four, yeah, with
him finally going home.

Speaker 3 (01:23:55):
Well, not to mention how dark last blood I mean,
Last Blood was satis fine, but fuck yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:24:02):
Yeah. That's all I'm saying is like that that was
the one where they were like, and we're gonna do more.

Speaker 3 (01:24:05):
Yeah brutal. Yeah my god. So what are your final
thoughts on nineteen ninety six? Is The Long Kiss good Night?

Speaker 2 (01:24:12):
It's one thousand percent to rent it. If you're an
action movie nineties movie nut, then you'd want to own
it for sure. But this is definitely a movie worth
plopping down your four ninety nine to watch an HD.
I couldn't recommend it enough and it's got just enough
Christmasy moments to make you feel a little bit festive.

Speaker 3 (01:24:31):
Yeah, it's actually packed with Christmas surprisingly.

Speaker 2 (01:24:33):
Yeah no, I'm well it takes place at.

Speaker 3 (01:24:34):
Christmas can So it is also rented for me as well,
with a caveat to buy it if you are a
physical media collector or an action aficionado. This movie is
so much fun because you're not used to seeing Geena
Davis play these type of roles at all.

Speaker 2 (01:24:47):
No, no, and she's perfect, perfect for it.

Speaker 3 (01:24:50):
So, I mean, if you if you like a good
female badass, this is one of those movies if you're
looking for a Christmas action film, and you've watched Diehard
so many times, even though I was still watch it
every single year on December first, looking for something new.
This is a great one to fill that gap, and
you will probably have a good time with some friends
if you want to include them as well.

Speaker 2 (01:25:06):
Yeah, I would have to agree, So yeah, it's a.

Speaker 3 (01:25:08):
Runner for both of us. We always like to end
the show with a couple recommendations. I've got too this week,
the first one being Kiss, Kiss, Bang Bang, a shame
black screenplay from a direct directory Will Say or No,
I don't know if you do. I don't know. I
think not Joel Schumacher. Who did it? I can't remember
who did it?

Speaker 2 (01:25:23):
But will you don't know?

Speaker 3 (01:25:24):
My bad from two thousand and five. It is currently
available to rent on Primer Voodoo. It says, after being
mistaken for an actor, a New York thief is sent
to Hollywood to train under a private eye for a
potential movie role, but the duo are thrown together with
a struggling actress into a murder.

Speaker 2 (01:25:37):
Mystery directed as well by Shameela Oh.

Speaker 3 (01:25:39):
It is Shameluck directed. Okay, yeah. Second recommendation is nineteen
ninety six is a Racer with Arnold Schwarzenegger also available
to rent on Primer Voodoo, a witness protection specialist becomes
suspicious of his coworkers when dealing with a case involving
high tech weapons.

Speaker 2 (01:25:52):
I do enjoy me, Summer Raser.

Speaker 3 (01:25:54):
It's a good one. Yeah, definitely a good one. What's
your recommendation.

Speaker 2 (01:25:57):
Well, I'm gonna go obvious. I'm not going to go
for a D cut. I'm going to go for something
you've probably seen, but maybe it's time for a revisit. Okay,
I'm going with nineteen eighty seven's Lethal Weapon, written by
Shane Black. Yes, and if you haven't seen Lethal Weapon,
I it is confusing to me. But the IMDb synopsis
is two newly paired cops who are complete opposites put

(01:26:20):
aside their differences in order to catch a gang of
drug smugglers. That's basically it, basically, but it's a lot
of fun. It's hilarious, and I'm sure you could find
it somewhere to watch.

Speaker 3 (01:26:29):
Yeah, and Christmas to the tease.

Speaker 2 (01:26:31):
That's what I'm saying. And it has Christmas in it
so it fits the season. It's got all. It's the
movie that introduced us to all the Shane blackisms in
action films. Yeah, so that's going to be my recommendation
lethal weapon.

Speaker 3 (01:26:45):
And do we have any emails this week?

Speaker 2 (01:26:47):
Maybe? Yeah, we do, We actually do. Okay, So this
first one is from our buddy Tyler Tyler who's probably
going to join us on movie night for Thanksgiving.

Speaker 3 (01:26:58):
Hell yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:26:59):
The subject line is suggestions. Hey boys, a thought occurs
to me. Have you guys considered covering any documentaries, animated films,
or even foreign films?

Speaker 3 (01:27:11):
Animated is definitely a possibility. I don't know about documentary.

Speaker 2 (01:27:14):
I don't think a doc documentary would really fit. But
we've done one foreign film.

Speaker 3 (01:27:19):
Yeah, so far.

Speaker 2 (01:27:20):
The Christmas just another Christmas, which is phenomenal on Netflix.
Watch it for the Love of.

Speaker 3 (01:27:25):
God listener episode here is Cry.

Speaker 2 (01:27:27):
Yeah yeah, it's good stuff. But documentaries, no animated. Maybe
I really want to revisit.

Speaker 3 (01:27:33):
Cool World co World. I would be done.

Speaker 2 (01:27:35):
When I was a kid, way too young, I was
watching it on Cinemax, so I'd love to watch it
as an adult and see if it's any good. So
I will be watching that. I think it hasn't come
out yet.

Speaker 3 (01:27:47):
Has it hit Blu Ray last year?

Speaker 2 (01:27:49):
I want to say oh, okay, Yeah, maybe Rachel has
a copy of that.

Speaker 3 (01:27:52):
I think she might.

Speaker 2 (01:27:53):
But yeah, so I would love to revisit that. There
aren't a ton of animated movies that I'm not into.
But I'm not opposed to animated and.

Speaker 3 (01:28:00):
Foreign movies absolutely, It's just a matter of availability, which
I know is funny for me to say that, as
some of our movies haven't been available lately. But yeah,
no foreign films. I'm absolutely I'm into a huge category three,
which is Hong Kong movies right now. So yeah, I
would absolutely talk about foreign films.

Speaker 2 (01:28:15):
Yeah, so I'm sure it'll come up eventually. Yeah, And
we are trying to keep the movies relatively relatively accessible,
although a lot of them end up not being readily
available to watch to fucking keep track anymore, Yeah, cry
about it. Oh man, this is a long one.

Speaker 3 (01:28:30):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (01:28:30):
This is from our viewer Daniel. The subject is Louis
in all caps with two exclamation points, and then Life
with Louis Louie. Louie is right at the stop at
the top cast he said, sorry, got caught in nineties nostalgia.
Great show Life with Louis. I loved Life with Louis
when I was a kid. Anyway, hope this reaches you

(01:28:51):
guys before you got you before you guys do the
episode before Thanksgiving. Unfortunately this came in on Saturday, so
not quite. We do the shows about a week out. Yeah, Louis,
I totally agree with you that Thanksgiving turkey is super dry.
Not a fan. I'm just saying when my cousin makes it,

(01:29:12):
it is unbelievably moist all the way through. But also,
you're a fool if you're into the white meat. Anyway,
That's fair. People call me weird because I love Deli
turkey but don't like Thanksgiving turkey. I also don't like
Deli ham, but love bone in hamir. That part I
do find weird because I like both types of ham.

(01:29:33):
To me, cold cut turkey is just so different from
absolutely roasted turkey. I hope you guys have a wonderful
and joyous Thanksgiving. I'm thankful for both of you guys
that get me through a lot of my work days
with both podcasts, do you even movie and Weekly Spooky Awesome?
Thank you, we appreciate it. Thank you for all you
do to keep us entertained and giving, at least some
of us new experiences in the movies you suggest and review.

watching next week? David?

Speaker 3 (01:30:37):
So, next week we are diving into I think a
quintessential film of our friendship, because I think this was
one where it was just like you like.

Speaker 2 (01:30:43):
This, I love this, Oh man, I've always loved this movie.

Speaker 3 (01:30:46):
We're talking about nineteen ninety four's The Ref starring Dennis Leary,
Kevin Spacey, Judy Davis, J. Simmons. I mean, the list
goes on and on for that one.

Speaker 2 (01:30:54):
There's so many people, so many.

Speaker 3 (01:30:56):
Yeah, that one is currently available to rent on Prime
and Fandango. I will say that if you, if you
are a physical media collector, just buy the DVD because
with it being a Disney title, technically there's no telling
them we're gonna get a blue Red.

Speaker 2 (01:31:08):
I mean, one year it was on Netflix, one year
it was on Disney Plus. It bounces around like crazy,
it does. I bought it the HD version on Voodoo
Doo Yeah, which is now Fandango at Home.

Speaker 3 (01:31:19):
Or Go at Home. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:31:20):
So, but yeah, it'll be the ref from nineteen ninety
four starring Dennis Leary, and that movie is a screen.

Speaker 3 (01:31:26):
And I do do want to remind everybody that the
Long Kiss good Night was a recommendation from our buddy Maurice,
which just goes to prove again that if you have
a movie you want us to do, send us an email.
We would love to hear from you and think and
hear what your thoughts are on what we should talk about.

Speaker 2 (01:31:41):
You never know what might happen.

Speaker 3 (01:31:42):
You never know.

Speaker 2 (01:31:43):
All right, my friends, Well it's time for me to
get out of here so I can go Inhale fumes
to get the rest of this new kiss out of
my head. Fair, I am not fully recovered from my cold.
Get I am ready to not talk anymore, which is
a shock to most people. They would assume that me
being unable to talk is fatal. But uh yeah, so
we're gonna get out of here, so everybody stay safe
out there, and uh chefs do that.

Speaker 3 (01:32:07):
Signing off the podcast

Speaker 2 (01:32:10):
See you next Tuesday.
