Speaker 1 (00:09):
It's time to turn out the lights, grab some popcorn,
and watch some horror movies. This is the Terrible Terror Podcast.
Each episode I telled in the world of horror movies.
Why don't I do it? Well, I can't really explain it,
but I love these horrifying clicks. So if you made
your own movie on your phone or made your own
special effects in the giber style, please send it my way. Now,
what do you get when you mix pharmaceuticals, blood and

(00:32):
gore and unicorns? Why you get Death of a Unicorn? Why? Hello, everyone,

(01:08):
and welcome to a brand new episode of the Terrible
Terror Podcast. And I hope you all are doing very
very well, and we're here with a brand new episode
on Death of a Unicorn. And yeah, this is one
of those movies where I saw the trailer and I

(01:28):
was like kind of confused and kind of not like
confused about what the movie was going to be like
or anything like that, but just like what to expect
with it, because I wasn't sure if they were trying
to go for a comedy or was it truly a
horror movie or was one of those movies where they
like said it was a horror movie and it's not
really a horror movie. Maybe they're trying to do some

(01:51):
type of like you know, message or whatever there is,
and yeah, I just was like it looked interesting. But
it was one of those movies where I was like, like, well,
if a lot of people are the people that I
normally go to the movies with want to go see
this movie, let's go see this movie. But if I
have to wait for it to come on streaming, I'll
just wait that little bit to come on streaming. And

(02:13):
that's ultimately what it did, right. It was released on
March of this year, on the twenty eighth of this year.
It was actually made for a budget about fifteen million dollars,
and it didn't do too hot in the box office.
It only made sixteen point one, so it made back
its money. But it's not a hit. It's definitely it's
not necessarily in the flop area. It's in just kind

(02:33):
of the break even area when it comes to these
types of movies and everything that's going on. So it's
interesting because it also kind of got like mid reviews
as well, kind of around the middle. I think it's
like a fifty four percent that is available on Rotten Tomatoes.
If you're looking, it's actually fifty three percent. I'm sorry,
I'm wrong. I was off by a whole percentage point.

(02:54):
I hope you all don't hate me now as I'm
looking at the screen in front of me that's actually
shown me what the percent and I just made a
gander and a guess. But nonetheless, it's one of those movies.
Even when you look at like the ratings on IMDb
dot com, it's about a six somewhere around there. I think,
if my memory serves me right, because I'm not looking
at a screen for that or anything like that. I

(03:15):
always like to look at Wikipedia because usually that gets
the numbers right in terms of how much it made
in the box office and how much it actually cost
to produce it with you know everything marketing and all
that stuff. And this movie was actually at least targeted
at me, was marketed pretty well. Like I knew a
lot about this movie. I knew when it was coming out.

(03:36):
It wasn't like something that I just kind of like
skipped over or anything like that. The movie also had
a lot of interest to me just because of the cast.
Right where there's a couple of people in this cast,
and yes, one of them has become pretty damn well
known after a certain little Netflix series that she's done
since then, right, And it's very funny because actually the

(03:58):
casting director for this movie, before you know, Wednesday actually
came out, she initiated the casting of Genda Orktega Center
the script before that actually was released, because she knew
that the moment that that series would be released that
she would be a big star. And boy what she write.
So they managed to get her, and they probably wouldn't
have been able to get her once she had actually

(04:21):
you know, been debuted of sorts, if you really want
to say debuted in that show. She had been around
for a little while, but you know, not done anything
really major of note that maybe the wide audience would
actually know about. I mean, how many people are going
to know about movies such as like X for example,
or The Babysitter, Killer Queen or The Fallout or of

(04:43):
course Scream or did you know that she was in
Studio six x six for like a little bit that's
in that movie. But really it wasn't really until for
at least the current day audience. And she's done a
lot of TV, okay, so what a lot of people
are gonna know her from his Jane the Virgin. That
was like one of the biggest things that she's done.

(05:04):
She's done a lot of I mean, she's been in
TV stuffs and different things, in movies and things since
twenty twelve. You know, she was Insidious Chapter two, which
I had no idea, and you know, you'd probably be
surprised to know that I'm not a big fan of
those movies in general. I don't know. And again, that's
another one of those film series where I didn't see

(05:25):
it in theaters, and maybe if I saw it in
theater for the first time, I'd be like, Okay, yeah,
I get it. But I saw it at home and
fell asleep during the first one and then never watched
another one after that. Yeah, that that actually happened. And
so it's just kind of like and it wasn't even
like I was feeling bad or anything or I was
sick and I put it on. I literally put it

(05:47):
on because I'm like, Okay, what's the hype with this movie,
and then fell asleep because I was bored to fucking tears.
So you know, that's just me when it comes to that.
But again, really it's Wednesday that kind of for a
lot of people, at least her popularity that she has
right now, and that's really what put her on the map,
right that came out in twenty twenty two. I'm again,

(06:09):
I'm not trying to say that it is the only
thing that made her what she is, but it definitely helped,
at least at this point in time, make her a
goddamn household name. Right when it comes to Jenna Ortega,
that is probably the first thing that most people are
going to reference her. They're not gonna go back and

(06:30):
they're not gonna be like, there's gonna be some people
that be like, oh, yes, Scream you know in Scream six,
that's it's definitely wondered. But they're not gonna go back
to Rob or CSI New York, or an episode of
Days of Our Lives, or even go back, like I said,
to Insidious chapter two, which I had no idea that
she was even a part of, or how about The
Cookie Mobster, a TV movie from twenty fourteen, Like you're

(06:53):
not gonna really remember her from those things. And again maybe,
and it's gonna be a select amount of people from
two thousand five to twenty nineteen that would know her
from Jane the Virgin, right, But that's something that's not
on my radar in particular, and it's not in mass
media's radar as well, or mass popularities radar. While it

(07:14):
did last quite a bit last five seasons, it's one
of those CW shows that only specific people that watched
the CW would actually know about. And There is You,
and she was a part of ten episodes of You,
and I know that that was relatively big, but again
for people like me, that's not really on my radar.
And I remember her in The Babysitter Killer Queen, which

(07:37):
I think both of those movies are great, and she
actually has a pretty goddamn big role in that movie
as well. But you know, even for me, it's well, honestly,
it's X for me. I mean, I think that's one
of my favorite things that she's done. And I think
that she was probably the best thing about the two
screen movies that came out, and she's done some other
great movies and other little projects and stuff. She was

(07:58):
actually one of the better things about Beadleg spiel Juice
as well, and I wish they would have used her
better in that movie. Her character just wasn't that freaking
great to be completely honest with you, and of course
you know also Paul Rudd. I love Paul Rudd. A
lot of people love Paul Rudd since Clueless, A lot
of people love Paul Rudd since Halloween six right he

(08:20):
I swear to God, this is the first time in
a movie where I thought that he looked like he
was in his forties, not the age that he is
right now, because the dude is in I think his
late sixties or not sixties. God, I'm even fucking dating
him a lot more than he actually is. I believe
he's in his like mid to late fifties now, and

(08:41):
he looks like he could be in his forties. Like
when I was growing up, what I thought forty looked like,
not what I look like right now. And even though
I can kind of see it in my face sometimes, like,
God damn it, I'm getting closer and closer to start
and looking like really fucking old, but nonetheless like he
This is the first time that I've ever seen Paul
Road in a movie. He's playing a dad and he

(09:02):
actually looks relatively age appropriate and not like he's taking
the fucking super soldier seerum and looks like Chris Evans
is fucking Captain America, and Captain America is like two
hundred and seventy five years old looking like he's fucking thirty.
That's the type of thing that I'm saying with Paul Rudd.
Paul Rudd just fucking looks like he's been the same
age for the last seventy five years. Okay, that man,

(09:23):
for some reason, somehow he found the fucking fountain of
youth and he's able to keep it up. But nonetheless
about Paul Rudd's like look comparative to his age, Paul Rudd,
to me, like, he's such a funny dude. And if
you've never seen those skits that he does on Conan O'Brien,
they're one of the funniest fucking things. And I last
laugh fucking every time that I see one of those things,

(09:45):
no matter how many times I've seen him, because you know,
he would go on there and say I have this
new project and he's there to promote when he was
on Conan, then all of a sudden he'd say, okay,
let's roll the clip, and it'd be the fucking Mac
and Mee clip of the child in the wheelchair being
rolled out the fucking cliff, and he had so many
different ways they'd presented, and it was like a bit.
But I don't think that Conan was on the bit

(10:07):
every single time. I think in the beginning kind of like, Okay,
he got him, and then eventually he's like, Okay, this
fucker is gonna do these things to me again. And
then all of a sudden, in the middle of nowhere,
he started acting like it was nothing, and then he
started doing the fucking bit again, and it's it's great,
And you know, I like what he's done lately, and there's,
of course there's some misses in his career. You know.

(10:28):
I probably think the two Ghostbusters movies that came out,
he's probably one of the better pieces of those movies.
I'd like the first amp Man a lot, and I
think the second one's pretty good as well. But I mean,
the first one was basically Edgar Wright's movie, where the
other two were not. So it's kind of like, uh,
I think I like Edgar Wright more than I like
the fucking, you know, amp Man character, even though I

(10:50):
think the character's fine. I think that he's fine. The
movies just kind of got a little bit problematic. Role
Models also is one of the best comedies ever made.
If you think I'm wrong, I'm sorry, I'm not You're
the one that's wrong. And we're just gonna leave it
at that. But he's done a ton of shit. This
dude has been around fucking forever and he's been a
part of everything, and I just love the guy and

(11:12):
I love to see him in random movies, and I
thought that this would be great to actually see him
in kind of a horror movie once again. And then
there's also Tayoni. And Tayloni is somebody that I haven't
seen in a movie in a real, real, goddamn long time.
I mean, I think the last movie that I remember

(11:32):
her in might have been Jack and Jill with freaking
Jim Carrey back there. I think that was her in
that movie. I know that she was in the X
Files movie, or she was in X Files episode in
two thousand. She's in Jurassic Park three as well, yet
Fun with Dick and Jane. She was definitely in that
movie as well, And I like her. I do like

(11:53):
her quite a bit, and you know, I do have
thoughts about her character in this movie, but I think
that she plays the character relatively well, then you also
have Will Poulter. Will Poulter is also an interesting dude
as well, and his character, or at least the first
time that ever saw him doing something comedic was in

(12:16):
We're the Millers. And again, if you haven't seen We're
the Millers, it's actually a funny movie. Like I was
surprised at how funny it actually was. But he's also
was in the Chronicles of Narnia movies that were there.
He was not exactly what I wanted it to be,
but still pretty goddamn good for in general. I guess
he's been on the bear lately as well, but usually

(12:36):
when he pops up, it's kind of like Timothy Holt.
And the funny thing is is now I have an
him and Timothy Holt fucking Bill Pullman, Bill Paxson thing
going on here, because the two dudes look like they
could be twin brothers in some cases. And when I
saw The New Superman, I thought it was this guy.
And when I saw the trailer for this movie, I
thought it was Timothy Holt, but it's not. But he's

(13:01):
done quite a bit of things. He was also Adam
Warlock in Guardians of the Galaxy volume three, and he's
been in a bunch of things, you know, Black Mirror,
and he was also in a video game series that
I really enjoy, which is the Dark Pictures Anthology, where
he was in the episode titled Little Hope, which is
probably my favorite out of the four because I think

(13:22):
the story's the best, even though the ending kind of
ruins this story in general, but I thought it was
still better put together than a lot of the other
stories that they used for that series, especially the one
that had to deal with AHH Holmes, where I really
wanted that one to be really, really good and it
was just mediocre. And it sucks because I think that

(13:43):
whole like murder House thing that HH Holmes had, you know,
his whole bag baby something that was really cool and
didn't work out as well. But like I said, he's
been in some pretty good stuff. He's been enterting to watch.
I think that he's a good actor. I think he
has really good comedic timing, so which let me believe
that this was going to be more of a comedic

(14:06):
horror movie, especially the way the trailer let itself out
to be in everything that went on with it, So
it's interesting to find out that this is like listed
as a comedy, fantasy, and horror, and so I had
to go through this thinking, well, is it going to
live up to any of those? Now? The one thing

(14:27):
that I did not realize with this, and I'm gonna
you know, I don't know if it's spoiling anything right now,
but I know I'm gonna forget these things if I
don't talk about them right now, So please excuse me.
I did not know how much of an homage to
Aliens this movie was right that they actually used sound
effects from Alien They use sound effects from Jurassic Park.

(14:49):
In fact, the unicorns themselves make a very similar, if
not exact sound to the velociraptors in Jurassic Park. The
scene where they go out for the hunt to find
the two parents in this movie, it is actually a
shot for shot reimagining of the scene in Aliens when
they're going to go out and hunt the aliens in
the movie as well. It's honestly crazy at how much

(15:13):
he kind of references these movies, especially when it comes
to Alien Aliens, right, and that whole thing down to
the fact that the gun that's being used in the
hunt scene looks very much similar to the guns that
are used in Alien and Aliens, and even the sound
effect for the gun for a second kind of feels
like that as well. And even the director, Alex Sharfman,

(15:33):
he noted that it often comes with, you know, significant
anti capitalist subtext in movies from Aliens to Jaws to
Jurassic Park, and that's why they brought this theme directly
into here with the unicorns. And the director himself even
studied unicorn mythology and folklore, revealing that he went back
to Roman histories in the Old Testament Bible where researching

(15:54):
the film, he also intensely examined the unicorn tapturies that
are seeing in the film. They all are real and
they reside in the met Which is absolutely crazy that
he went like this far to get this much information
about a silly little movie about unicorns, right, and this
happens to be Alex Shafman's directorial debut as well, if

(16:16):
I can even say directorial correctly without like mumbling my
words together at one time, But you guys have listened
to me long enough to know that that's just the
way I fucking talk nowadays, or if this is your
first time listening. Hi there, But nonetheless, let's go ahead
and get started with this movie. And it takes place
in an airport and we see like the luscious background,

(16:40):
the beautiful shot of the hills. I want to say
this is Colorado because it looks as beautiful as fucking Colorado,
so I'm assuming that it is. But there is an
Air Canadian plane in the background back there, so it
could be someplace in Canada that they're coming from. And
we see that Jenna Ortega is trying to sleep in
her seat in an Air Canadian plane with her dad,
Paul Rudd, next to her. So this is Ridley, right,

(17:03):
which is also a version of Ripley get it. See
the whole thing's there. And then Elliott, her father, which
probably throughout the most of this time, I'm going to
retrefer to them as Paul and fucking Jenna because that's
all I fucking see is Paul and Jenna Ortega. But yeah,
Elliott and Ridley that are here. And so she falls
over and falls asleep on his shoulder, into which he

(17:26):
gets really excited for because you know, that's his daughter,
and I guess maybe he doesn't get much attention from her,
which causes him to drop a bunch of papers there
on the ground. And this is where you're gonna get
like the comedy aspect of this movie and have a
feeling of for what the comedy is going to be like,
because he's trying and trying and trying to grab his papers,
and eventually he unbuckles the seatbelt and he reaches out

(17:48):
his foot more can't get them, but he doesn't want
to miss the moment of her sleeping on his shoulder,
and then he just goes grabs the papers and then
she falls from his shoulder and slams her head on
the fucking hill like armrest of the plane, and an
announcement comes over from the plane that says, oh, guess what,
the stairs of this doesn't fit into the airplane, which

(18:08):
I'm like, what what that? That doesn't make any sense?
Like how can the stairs not fit inside the airplane?
Don't the stairs come with the airplane? And aren't or
you know, aren't there stairs something that's outside Because even
like you know, fucking Elliott looks round, he's like, what
the hell does that mean? Like that doesn't make any sense.

(18:28):
And when she hits her head, you know, she basically
goes and what the fuck? You know, So, you know,
the relationship that these two have with each other, right,
it's maybe not the best in the world, and so
there's going to be this father daughter trope and it's
only the two of them, so there's possibly something else
that's gone on before. You know, what can you assume
from this relationship that they've got here other than that

(18:52):
mom's probably dead, right, I mean you kind of look
at this if it's if it's not his daughter and
it's like his girlfriend, and then there are other things
that are really going on in this that I don't
need to know about because she's meant to be relatively young.
I mean, at this point, Jenna Ortega is probably you know,
in her early twenties when this movie was being filmed.
Even though this movie got released this year, probably sat

(19:15):
on the shelf for a couple of years as her
fame grew and they decided to release it at a
time that you know, now she's a lot more famous,
so hey, you know, we get a lot more play
for release it at this time. Then we released it
in twenty twenty two. More people are going to go
see this movie because of the name Jenna Ortega on
the goddamn screen, right, So this is his daughter. That's

(19:37):
good old dad, that's right there. And Mom's got to
be dead in the ground for a couple of years now.
That's all I'm really trying to say here. So since
they can't fly to the destination they need to go
to and they're getting off the plane, well, the assumption
is to me that they didn't fly, they decided to
get out and go rent a car. Well, they kind
of imply that for some reason, like I'm not sure
if they just had to get off the plane then

(19:59):
they got back on the plane because they said they
had a d plane to a different plane because of
the whole staircase thing. Again, I don't understand that, Like
does that make any sense to anybody else out there?
I Mean, I don't fly terribly like much anymore, if
at all, And so it's kind of like usually, you know,
you go down the hallway that connects to the plane,

(20:19):
and every once in a while, like if you're in
Long Beach, for example, you fly into that airport, there's
not a whole lot of terminals that have the giant
arm things that people walk down. You actually walk onto
the tarmac and then you walk upstairs, and then those
stairs happen to be like you know, rolling stairs somewhere,
like they're not necessarily connected to the plane. The only
thing that I think is connected to the plane are

(20:40):
like slides in case something bad happens, like you know,
the engine of the plane starts catching on fire as
you're slowly taking off, and the decide that you need
to get out as fast as possible before the plane
flows up and or it goes eighty eight miles an
hour and the flux capacitor there in the back decides
to hit that twenty one point eight gigawatts or jiggawats
or where the fuck it's called, and you're gonna go
back to the future. You need to get out of

(21:01):
there as fast as possible. So they opened the doors
and the slides come out. You're supposed to slide down
there and then tuck and roll before you hit the tarmac.
Is that just me? That only happened to me that
one time. I guess maybe it was a dream. No, no, no,
it is that one time of the Twin Pines mall
with that little Cessna. It's weird that they had the
you know, the little plane slide thing on the side

(21:24):
of that. I thought that was just that wasn't right.
And it was also weird that the you know, there
are people that were trying to, you know, stop the
captain of this little Cessna plane, you know, because he
had some plutonium there in the background. And then the
flex capacitor. I mean, that's just kind of a weird
thing that sits back there. I mean, that's on every
small plane, right, it isn't it is? It was? It

(21:45):
just me, why does it have to hit eighty eight
miles per hour? Right? Just I never understood that. I mean,
maybe it wasn't a Cessna, maybe it was a Deloreate.
Maybe I'm getting my things wrong. Uh twin Pines Mall
back in eighty six eighty five. I mean I was
pretty young then, so not not quite sure, but nonetheless

(22:07):
about me almost being forced to go back in time
to save my parents from fucking when I was only
five years old. But what was I talking about?

Speaker 2 (22:13):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (22:14):
Yes, staircases for planes, like they would just like roll
them away. It doesn't like tuck into the plane. It's
just it's weird. It's weird to me that that was
like the thing that stopped them from flying where the
need to fly. So either they do get on another
plane they land in another port, or they decide that,
you know what, We're just gonna go get a car

(22:35):
because it's perfectly far enough to drive by just renting
a car, which I believe is what happens. See why
am I so confused at the beginning of this movie.
It's not gonna bode well for you if I'm really
confused right now. And we're just in the first like
five minutes of the movie. But nonetheless, they get in
a car and they start driving to the reservation, the
wildlife reservation that the people that he's working with where

(22:58):
he's trying to become a partner with our residing right now,
and we have an awkward dabby doggor conversation in the car.

Speaker 3 (23:06):
Can you hear me?

Speaker 1 (23:07):
Did I lose you?

Speaker 4 (23:07):
Hello? Hello?

Speaker 3 (23:10):
No navigation?

Speaker 5 (23:11):
Crash too?

Speaker 6 (23:12):
What the hey is your phone?

Speaker 7 (23:14):
I don't have any reception?

Speaker 8 (23:16):
I can well, if you don't have service, why would I?

Speaker 5 (23:18):
Oh wait, you know what, I I have email directions.

Speaker 1 (23:25):
I'm gonna put your window up.

Speaker 6 (23:27):
Paulin is killing me.

Speaker 9 (23:34):
Thank you all.

Speaker 7 (23:38):
So hey, look, I just want to say, you know,
thanks again for you know being here. Stop picking? Hey,
stop picking?

Speaker 10 (23:52):
Come on, don't should have flick me.

Speaker 7 (23:55):
There's no reason to be nervous. You're here to enjoy yourself.

Speaker 8 (23:58):
That's definitely not why I'm here.

Speaker 11 (24:00):
And would you still can right huh? Taking some nature?

Speaker 12 (24:03):
Maybe join me on a trail run.

Speaker 6 (24:08):
Or not.

Speaker 12 (24:09):
But it's your last sh mountains this far north, pristine,
truly untouched by man.

Speaker 1 (24:19):
So the one thing I absolutely love about this movie
is the relationship between Elliott and Ridley, and I love
the rapport between Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega. It is
literally the best thing in the entire movie. Like you
feel like they're related, you feel like they care about
each other. Paul Rudd definitely is a guy that's a

(24:41):
little out of his league, being the single father to
his daughter, not exactly knowing what to do. But he
is a stereotype, like there is a specific character that
sometimes you think that Paul Rudd might be playing, and
he kind of is playing Paul Rudd. But when he
has his scenes with Jenna or Tega, when they're taken
out of the situation for this very stereotypical character to

(25:05):
be put into right, he is absolutely fantastic that whole
dynamic between them is an amazing part of this movie
to watch, and it's a joy to watch the two
of them together. And it said that we don't get
to see enough of it Shine, and I wish we
had some really cool moments between the two of them.
The moments that we have are really good, but I

(25:27):
just needed a moment that happens at the very end
of the movie. Well there's one towards the end of
the movie and then the very end of the movie.
I needed another one of those moments in between that.
And I'm not saying that there are a bunch, but
something of that magnitude. I really wanted to be in
the movie once again, because even from here, like just

(25:48):
watching this little scene, I am absolutely enthralled with the
two characters that are there that you know, she's definitely
you know, I'm not gonna say that she's like the
rebellious teenager, but you can tell there's something about the
relationship that maybe is a little strained, right, Maybe Daddy's
not around all the time because Dad puts in a
lot of hours because he thinks that he has to

(26:11):
care for his daughter. And the only way that he's
going to set them straight is going to be Oh wait,
that actually is part of the conversation that they have
when they start talking about like family drama.

Speaker 5 (26:20):
Look, I get you don't want to be here, but
Odell Leopold say, have a big thing about family. They
just assume that you and I are particularly close because
of everything that you know, because everything that's happened to us.

Speaker 8 (26:36):
Because of everything that's happened to us. Are you just
talking about the one thing? I'm sorry, I just don't
feel like being a pity prop with a single dad
thing with your.

Speaker 3 (26:49):
Bosses, that's all.

Speaker 1 (26:50):
No, that's not what this is about.

Speaker 8 (26:52):
No, we can own it, though. I mean, we can
really milk them for their sympathy and take a limb.
Maybe I could prepare a weepy mount log about mom.

Speaker 1 (27:00):
But I don't know.

Speaker 8 (27:01):
You probably would have to get notes on it, and we.

Speaker 3 (27:03):
Need more time for that.

Speaker 5 (27:04):
Whatever this is, just get it out of your system
before we get there.

Speaker 8 (27:07):
Are talking about my personality? Fine, I will sit there
and smile while they plan their predatory price gouging at
the dinner table.

Speaker 5 (27:14):
They're day to day is so far above drug pricing,
and they care about a lot of things, not just pharmaceuticals.
I mean, this entire nature preserve was donated by them.

Speaker 8 (27:24):
Yeah, but you know that philanthropy is just it's reputation
laundering for the oligarchy.

Speaker 5 (27:29):
Yeah, okay, all right, and maybe on the art squad,
but in the real world you have to compromise. Once
I'm named proxy and I sit on this board for
five six years, ten tops, then I will earn enough
to make sure that we're okay no matter what hits us.

Speaker 1 (27:45):
Right, all right, Yeah, that's totally cool. Dad. I totally understand.
You're an awesome father. You're doing this just for us,
and I'm gonna be the perfect little girl. Now that's
not gonna happen. You know that's not gonna happen. You
can tell. And again, I really love them, between these
two of them, and I love the way that Jenna
or take A plays this role. This is probably one
of my favorite roles of hers. I really do like her.

(28:08):
I know a lot of people are in Gena or
Tega fatigue right now. In fact, I know somebody that's
just like, oh my god, it's another thing with Jenna
Ortega in it. Won't she go away? And I'm just
kind of like, hey, it's cool, And it's probably because
I don't digest a lot of her, and I don't
digest a lot of like pop media culture stuff that's
out there. I think what happens when you tend to

(28:28):
stick to horror movies is that you only see some
of these people part of the time. And there are
a couple of like pop things that I get to
hear about from things that I listen to, but I'm
not constantly, you know, grabbing these things. I don't watch
a lot of regular TV anymore. You don't find me
watching any reality cooking shows except for when I really
want to sit down and wind in something. Yet I'll

(28:50):
watch whatever type of slop that's out there on some
type of like streaming platform or something like that, or
every now and then I'll go back to like an
old show that I really used to enjoy. You know,
you find your episodes of Futurama. You want to take
a nap, you can go to sleep over there, watch
the Devil's Hands or idle play things over and over,
or just have it on. Take a little nap. You're good.
You wake up. You're in the middle of you know,

(29:10):
bender fighting against bees, and you're totally fine with that
because you've seen it a thousand times, but it doesn't
really involve me with the stuff that's going around, because
you know, life kind of sucks just the way it is, Like,
I don't know, it's just one of those things that
I've never really been a part of. So like seeing
certain people or hearing about certain people, or going through

(29:33):
certain things, it never really bothers me because I'm never
really super exposed to those people. And it used to
be that I was a little more in touch with
those types of things. But the way that my tastes
have gone and what I'm consuming in terms of the
media that I'm consuming, it's not the same as it
used to be, and I end up shying away from
these things. You know. I go and watch a movie,

(29:54):
I really don't care who's in it or what the
fuck they're doing with it. I listen to music. I'm
listening to certain things over here and trying to find
new things, and that's what it is. Listen to podcast, Okay,
that's gonna be the moment they get pop culture things,
but I tend to listen to more comedic stuff. Then
I do anything else or you know, and then when
it comes to whatever I watch. If I'm watching anything

(30:17):
on TV, it's like maybe sports like nowadays, like I
don't even really have a TV platform. I did for
the longest time, but now that football's coming back, Yay football,
I need to have something so I can watch football
games because it's the only sport that I followed, like
relatively religiously. So to me, Jenna Ortega is always fun

(30:37):
to watch, no matter what she's in, And if she
pops up in something that I'm watching, I shouldn't say
no matter what she's in whatever I'm watching that moment.
So if like I'm watching this movie or like Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice,
go see that. I haven't been overexposed to Jena Ortega.
I've not seen Wednesday either. So you know, I get it.

(30:58):
When somebody or hally you would, or whatever it is,
they become the next big it thing, they tend to
run that shit into the ground. It's been going that
way since the sixties, since the fifties, whenever somebody becomes big.
I mean, look at fucking Elvis. Do you realize that
somebody said for this Halloween season, I should be doing
Elvis movies because they're scary to some people. Yeah, they

(31:21):
kind of are. I totally agree with that sentiment, Dave.
But at the same time, and he's gonna be like, man,
I can't believe I'm being called out like this. But
at the same time, like, look at when he was
like huge and popular and how much shit that he
was in. He wasn't a vincent prize going around just
saying yes to everything that was offered to him. You know,

(31:43):
he wasn't doing the Samuel L. Jackson of nowadays or
the Rock of nowadays. Oh, you want me to be
in a movie that's based upon a video game that
has absolutelyth to do with the video game, And I'm
gonna be the one that doesn't lose and doesn't get
his ass beat. Okay, fine, I never said you weren't
gonna lose. The one who doesn't lose he doesn't get
his ass beat, right, Okay, Rock, I get it. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

(32:05):
this one. You'll be so ok if I call you
the Rock right, yes for this time, but next time,
you better fucking call me Dwayne Johnson, motherfucker. That's right,
or I'm gonna come after you. I'm gonna get on
your fucking podcast and I'm gonna strangle you to debt.
Wait a second, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait wait, why
does he sound like me? And why is he talking

(32:27):
at me? For a second, Maybe we're gonna stop this
conversation about the Rock. I mean, I mean, mister Johnson
over here, and we're just gonna move on forward because
I don't necessarily need him in his fake eating habits
about how, oh my god, this is the first time
that I've gone to fucking in and out and order
this when he has seventy five fucking videos about how

(32:49):
many times he's been goddamn in and out eating that
same fucking thing. And I don't need him to be
chasing me like Kane Hodter's chasing me. I'm more afraid
of Kane Honder than I am of the Rock because
at least I know Kan Honder can throw a punch.
But nonetheless, where was that going with this? Anyway, she
doesn't bother me so much, and I really enjoy her

(33:09):
in this movie, That's what I'm really trying to say.
So they continue the drive over to the Leopold Wilderness Reserve. Yes,
the Leopold's head of the pharmaceut cool and Mendigal industries,
some of the powerful people the world that are out here,
and they own this wilderness reserve that's in the middle
of nowhere that they will shoot people on contact if

(33:29):
they did damage any of the animals that are out there.
And so they continue their drive because they're late, and
then he gets a call from Shepherd, who happens to
be the son of the family. And Shepherd's kind of
an asshole, kind of an idiot. Okay, not kind of
an idiot, a blatant, fucking idiot for what it is.
And he's getting the call, but of course he can't
get any reception on the phone, and he's trying to

(33:51):
talk to him and say, you know, I'll explain everything
that I'm there, and he tries to go faster and
faster because he's late for this appointment, and so he
puts his pedal to the metal, and you know, that's
when they're driving too fast. She starts getting more nervous.
But it's weird because now she's not trying to rip
the pimples off of her face, but instead she starts
grasping the side of the you know, the car handle

(34:13):
and the door and everything like that, and as they're driving.
Because the allergies are a little bit too much for Elliott,
he sneezes into his hand and there's an awkward thing
because he doesn't have any tissues. And Ridley looks over
at her and she's like, ew, you know, that's disgusting,
and he's like, uh no, no. And then all of
a sudden, in the distance you can see it, but
it's very hazy and out of focus. The unicorn walks

(34:36):
into the screen and they drive the car directly into
the unicorn, smashing into it, spinning around the car, and
then even though his hand is full of fucking snot
and germs and everything like that, he puts it back
on the steering wheel. Because I would do the same
fucking thing. I wouldn't give a shit what happened to
my hand, if it was bleeding profusely, if I sneezed

(34:57):
all over it and snot's just tripping everywhere because I've
got a mad sinus infection and it's all green and
slowly going down my hand, or it was some like
alien being and it was like a symbio that suddenly
was forming over my fists. I would grab the living
shit out of that to make sure that I don't
fly off the goddamn road. And because he's not paying attention, that's,
you know, why they end up hitting the unicorn, which

(35:18):
they think to be, you know, an animal. They're just
not sure what it is. So they get out of
the car and that's where we get to see it
for the very first time. We see the unicorn, right,
and it's there lying in the middle of the road,
and the look of amazement on Jenna Ortega's face is
pretty crazy, to be honest with you, and how she's like,
oh my god, what the hell it is? And he's

(35:39):
still trying to like process everything together, and she's like,
it's a you know, basically, in her eyes, it's a
fucking unicorn. So and she's upset that they've hit it,
and he's just like, oh, this, this can't be what
it is. This must be some type of mammal, reptilian
or equestrian being that's there. And she's like, it's a
fucking unicorn, And so she reaches over to it as

(36:02):
the unicorn is bleeding there on the side of the
road and he's got out his you know tire iron
that I like this tire iron too, because it like
it's extendable and I've never seen one that's like that,
and like literally gets it out and then he does
like the extendo thing that's back there, and then you know,
he basically is like shit, shit because he's going to

(36:22):
be even later to the meeting that he's supposed to
be at. And he walks back thinking what he has
to do, and the fact that this is a wilderness
reserve that he's run into an animal means that he's
going to get in big trouble with the people he's
about to meet. So as he's trying to figure out
what the hell, you know, he's going to do, she
decides to reach over and try to touch the unicorn

(36:42):
that's there because she sees that it's crying out in pain,
and you know, all of a sudden, the horn it
starts glowing. So she reaches out and she touches the horn.
Then all of a sudden, we go into her eyes
and we see like the vastness of space in the
universes and what looks to be like the Big Bang
and how the world has been born and maybe where

(37:04):
we're going in the future or some shit like that
or whatever it is. But like she's experiencing this euphoria
by touching the unicorn's horn. And then as she's about
to like get this big revelation and probably one of
the funnier parts of the movie, here comes good old
Elliott with his tire iron and starts beating the shit
out of the unicorn, trying to kill it and put

(37:26):
it out of its goddamn misery because he hit it
with the goddamn car. I mean, what are you supposed
to do when you hit like an animal on the
side of the road, you know, or in the middle
of the road. I've hit a deer before, you know.
The one thing they say that you're not supposed to
do is you're not supposed to go over to it
and check on it. You're just supposed to, like, you know,
stay away and see if it's moving, and don't approach

(37:48):
it and call the authorities and get somebody out there
to check it. Like it wasn't my fault. Okay, yeah,
you hear that. I hit a goddamn deer. It wasn't
like I was some cartoon character. And on the side
of my car, I've got all these fucking deer stamps
and I was out there driving in the middle of
the road, you know, in the little hills that we
got here in the deer area, and I've got my
stamp out and it's on the side of you know,

(38:10):
I'm waiting just for the deer to pop out, and
oh boy, I'm gonna get myself another stamp and I
can just stamp and on there some shit like that.

Speaker 13 (38:17):
No.

Speaker 1 (38:17):
I literally was turning a corner. I saw a deer
on the right and I said, oh shit, that's a deer.
And then I'm like, I need to slow down a
little bit because I was, you know, going the speed
limit that was there. Okay, I'm not a fucking speed
demon or anything like that, and it was a windy
road and I may start making the left around the corner.
I'm just like, I look to the right, I'm like, okay,
there's the deer. It's not moving. And then I look

(38:38):
back at the road and there is another deer on
the other side of the road. That decides, Hey, I
need to cross right now. I know that you're coming
and I know that you're going to possibly hit me,
but hey, you know what, I really really need to
get over on the other side. So if you could
please just slam on your brakes and totally totally avoid me.

(39:01):
That would be great, but of course, you know I
could not oblige because I just turned back after a
slight glance to my right to make sure that deer
wasn't jumping, to the glance on my left to see that,
oh wait, that deer was staring at the other deer
on the other side of my car that is going
to plow right into my car, And like slow motion,

(39:23):
it plowed right into my car. Luckily I didn't go
off the side of the road, which also has kind
of a hill that I would probably would have tumbled down,
but the deer, like a tie fighter, flew across the road,
so nonetheless, uh yeah, it didn't fall off a heel.
It fell upwards up another side that is another hill

(39:46):
on the other side. But I swear that if it
couldn't make those noises me like it would have because
it flipped like three times. And I know I should
not be laughing, Okay, I should not be laughing at
that shit, But looking back on it, it was pretty
goddamn funny. Even though I ultimately killed the deer because

(40:08):
it decided to dart out in the middle of the road,
and I couldn't stop in time. Uh, And you know
I didn't go over at least put it out of
his misery by bashing it in the head with a
tire iron, Okay, And I didn't hit a unicorn. If
I had a unicorn one, it probably wouldn't have done anything.
And then two, you know, I would have ended up
the way end up like the other people in this movie,
because let's face it, they're gonna go after, you know,

(40:31):
somebody that's big and slow and fat, and not necessarily
somebody that's fit or pure. So yeah, I'm probably gonna die.
So nonetheless, it's just it's funny to me, and it's
one of the like that awkward humor, and I love
the way the reaction is and I love the way.
And then you know, she gets like the blood splatter
all over her face and he gets it all over

(40:52):
his face as he's beaten the fucking unicorn's head in,
and then they decide that they're gonna stick it in
the car and drive up to the lodge of the
Odells that are out there where he's supposed to meet everybody.
But of course he's late. And I love the you know,
the least the mansion that they picked for this movie,
Like it looks absolutely beautiful. The landscape is fucking gorgeous

(41:15):
in this movie, Like, oh my god, this is where
I would love to be if I had any type
of money and whatsoever, and I could live self sufficient
out in the middle of nowhere, just by myself and
just enjoy like nature, you know, even if it was
just a shack in the middle of nowhere and I
didn't have to have money, and I could self sustain

(41:35):
myself and just live out there and record podcasts and
somebody pays my electric bill for me, Like that would
be the life. That is where I would be. So nonetheless,
so he arrives at the mansion with his daughter, and
of course she doesn't want to go inside because they
got a dead unicorn in the back, But that doesn't
stop him from going in there and meeting with the family.

(41:58):
As we get to meet the Odell's, of course we
get to meet the idiot son first, and then we
get to meet the rest of the family.

Speaker 9 (42:05):
Welcome to the Lodge, rodge Wow counselor what happened.

Speaker 12 (42:12):
You walk from the airport or what you would not
believe you get it that's a joke. I got it
from here. Show set your card, Shepherd. I'm so sorry
we're late. How are you folks here? Don't know what
else they'd be. I was about to hit the tub,
but come in here for a cut of the good stuff.

Speaker 13 (42:28):
Oh thank you.

Speaker 12 (42:30):
It's my daughter, Ridley Chapley port Elliot.

Speaker 14 (42:34):
It's perfect timing. I just got off a zoom with
the Foundation about the refugees. We're evacuating them.

Speaker 3 (42:42):
Were vaccinating.

Speaker 13 (42:47):
It's so good.

Speaker 14 (42:48):
Now I need to apologize in advance. O'Dell is very
sensitive about word of his condition getting out, hence a
skeleton scatuf around here.

Speaker 12 (42:57):
Oh yeah, we're all making sacrifices.

Speaker 6 (43:00):
Oh here he is.

Speaker 13 (43:03):
We do almost assume the worst.

Speaker 15 (43:05):
I'm so sorry to keep you waiting, Odell.

Speaker 13 (43:08):
These things happen. Have the drive through the pass, get
lucky spots in a big game.

Speaker 3 (43:13):
On the way.

Speaker 16 (43:14):
Unfortunately, No, but it was just lovely.

Speaker 13 (43:19):
Here, Okay, my dear, what.

Speaker 3 (43:27):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (43:27):
Sorry, just it's not feeling good.

Speaker 14 (43:31):
Oh no, I do you need to lie down? Griff
can show you.

Speaker 3 (43:35):
To your room.

Speaker 12 (43:36):
No, are you sure he loves doing it?

Speaker 1 (43:37):
It might not be a bad idea.

Speaker 8 (43:41):
I just don't feel like we can stay sorry for
the whole weekend.

Speaker 14 (43:44):
Well you must stay for dinner, Darling. Griff is making
my famous musaka.

Speaker 12 (43:49):
I don't know, Mom, she doesn't look so hot. You
have something on your face, just so you.

Speaker 5 (43:54):
Know, maybe you should splash some water on yourself, see
if that helps.

Speaker 1 (43:59):
So we're gonna be in introduced to one of my
favorite characters of this movie that you're probably never gonna
hear from maybe once in a while. I don't think
I got to clip enough. He doesn't say a whole lot,
but the actor himself kind of basted off of the
silent actors, the silent comedic actors, and he got to
use a lot of facial expressions and body language to

(44:20):
really express the way the character feels. And it's fantastic.
I absolutely love the character of Griff in this movie
and Anthony Kerrigan that plays him. I don't know a
lot of what he's done, right. It was Somebody, and
I think he's been in quite a few random movies.
He was in Bill Ted Face the Music. I have

(44:42):
no idea. He was in the TV series Barry, which
I've never watched. He was Metamorpho in Superman, and he
was so caked up in makeup that I had no
idea what he is. And he plays Calypso in the
upcoming second season of the Twist and Metal series, which
is wild to me because looking at him in those
like the trailer, at least that I've seen of that, like,

(45:03):
it doesn't look anything like him in this movie as well,
and he's just he's absolutely fantastic in this movie as
far as comedic timing, in the way that he does
those facial expressions and like I said, the body language
that he employs in this movie. It is very reminiscent
of silent actors and silent film comedians, and he does
a very good job. And he is my favorite character

(45:26):
in this movie. And that's the one thing about this
movie that I do really like is one I think
all the acting in this movie is fine. It's all
ranges from very good to excellent. And I don't hate
any of the characters for the wrong reasons. And what
do I say mean why I say the wrong reasons
because like the characters written terribly. I don't think any

(45:47):
of these characters are written bad. I don't necessarily agree
with everything in the story, and I think some things
fall off a little bit when it comes down to it,
But the way the characters are portrayed, the way the
characters are written, it's perfect fine. Like Taylioni's character, I
think Taylioni is a great actress. I think that you
play this character extremely well in what it's meant to be,

(46:09):
which is extremely oblivious and very you know, a high
class and we get a very like, you know, surreal.
Look at her in this moment when we meet her
for the first time where she comes in, she's like
dolling almost like it's like a Jajah Goabor type of thing.
And I'm sure that reference is gonna go over some
people's heads who don't know who the fuck Jajah Gabor

(46:30):
is and even be doing the Jajah goibor fucking like
imitation a second ago is gonna go over the heads
of some people. But when we look at her, that's
the way it's it feels like it's Green Acres all
over again, where she's just like, you know, we're there,
we're taking out the refugees. Oh, what were we supposed
to vaccinate them? Ball, I don't know, we're doing humanitarian

(46:53):
a dolling that's just the way that it is, like,
it's it's so ridiculous because you think that he's like this, oh,
this humanitarian and they have this wildlife foundation that they
built out here in this reserve and they're just protecting everything,
but they're so disconnected to everything around them. And then
you've got the son who is just a complete and

(47:15):
fucking moron where everything's been handed to him on a
silver spoon, and he's you know, he comes into the
room from upstairs and he's wearing a robe and he's
got a fucking bloody mary in his hand, and he's like, well,
I was going to go into the hot tab, but
now that you're here, it looks like I can't do
that at all. And of course Dad is dying. The
Dad is there, you know, Odell, the main guy of

(47:36):
the corporation. He's there sitting behind the desk and he's
got oxygen and he's you know, has an IV that
comes with him. He's very weak and frail, and he
really is struggling to like talk to everybody that's there.
And the reason that Paul Rudd's character is even here
is to become a part of the foundation, like we
heard earlier, So he's basically going to step in as

(47:58):
an attorney and he's going to be a part of
the board that helps direct in the ways the company
should work. And then that's how he's gonna make the
money that he needs to be able to support him
and support his daughter. And so we have these very
affluent people, and that's what this movie is really going
to try to get across in its messaging is kind

(48:19):
of like a class struggle type thing, where we have
Paul Rudd, who honestly is probably well relatively well off,
but because he's a single parent and struggling with that
and he's just trying to secure a future for him
and his daughter, who is in college, is what we're
going to learn as well. Right, But he doesn't know

(48:39):
a whole lot about his daughter, as we also are
going to find out too, because he's so focused on
just making enough money for them to survive. But if
we take their two characters in the lens of this movie,
they're kind of like the middle class of everything, even
though they're probably well off. They're not as affluent or
oblivious as the Odells are, but they're not in the

(49:03):
place of also the you know, the servants and stuff
like Griff is in this situation. They are the worker bees,
and then Griff and them are kind of like the
people you know underneath him, they're at the bottom of
the pile. And how they treat Griff the whole time,
where even you know, they're like, well, we can get
Griff to show you where your bedroom is and take

(49:24):
you to the bathroom because he loves doing those types
of things. He's always doing that for us, where they
don't really know anything about Griff at all, probably right
when you hear these type of things. And again, once
we actually get to meet Griff, Griff is a fantastic
character and I can't like stress enough how much I
love this character in this movie. But again, I like

(49:45):
all these characters. And while you know, I'm supposed to
be annoyed by the three at the top right of
this food chain of wealth that we have in this movie,
I'm supposed to be annoyed by Talionese character, I'm supposed
to be annoyed by the soun and I'm supposed to
be annoyed by the Dad because I'm trying to side,
at least as an audience member, I'm trying to be

(50:06):
on the side of Jenna or tegis character where we
have Elliott who's kind of stuck in the middle, and
we're going to find out he's more of a yes
man than anything else and the only way that he's
moving up in the world is by just agreeing with everybody.
And this is where I'm saying, this is like a
stereotypical Paul Rudd type of character. And then some would

(50:26):
say Paul Rudd type of performance where he's kind of
the awkward everyman that doesn't really have the balls to
do anything. He just kind of goes with what's being said,
and he gives his awkward faces and does his awkward
like studying to type speech and stuff like that. It
again works really well in this movie, but I really
want to see more of the interactions between him and

(50:47):
his daughter and more of the positive ones, even though
there will be a few negative ones in between it
with everything that's there. So Ridley goes off to find
a bathroom, but for where she does, she goes and
looks out out the side and looks at the car.
To one of the security guards that works for the house,
goes and looks at the car, notices that the car
has a really fucked up front axle, and this is

(51:09):
where we could see Griff for the very first time
as he's got a bloody Mary that he's going to
be bringing over to Shepherd. Jenner or Kittega goes into
the bathroom starts washing her face, and as she washes
her face, she realizes a spot where she got the
blood on her face. It has completely cleared the acne
that was on the left side of her face right

(51:30):
and then when she looks at the towel that she's used,
she sees that there is the blood of the unicorn
that's on it and realizes that maybe there's something to that.
From there, we cut back over into the main room
and we see that Odell is talking to Elliott and
he's explaining exactly what he needs from him as he

(51:52):
begins to talk about his own mortality because of whatever
disease or whatever thing which we can assume is like
cancer or something along those lines, is slowly killing him
and what he needs to kind of move on forward.

Speaker 13 (52:06):
Having exhausted traditional treatment options, I made peace with my mortality,
and so in preparing for the Bardo, I meditated on
who my best liaise between my family and my family
business in my absence, and you soon came to mind, Elliott.

Speaker 1 (52:22):
I knew that.

Speaker 13 (52:23):
Linda and Shepp would agree with me once they go up.

Speaker 1 (52:25):
To know you.

Speaker 5 (52:26):
Well, I'm so happy to hear you say that, Odell,
because I see this as the start of a long
term family relationship.

Speaker 17 (52:49):
Power of attorney and proxy agreements cover all sorry sorry,
power of atturning proxy leaments cover.

Speaker 18 (53:03):
All points previously discussed with me representing the family's board
interests at Leothold Laboratories, so Melinda can focus on the
foundation and Shepherd you're free to pursue your.

Speaker 12 (53:15):
My diversified portfolio of entrepreneurial activities. Yeah, we all know
hard science has never could much contain my interests exactly,
so no surprise is here.

Speaker 11 (53:26):
And well, once I'm situated in my new position, there
are some opportunities both in and outside of the farmer
space that I'd love to get into.

Speaker 6 (53:40):
But for now, just signatures.

Speaker 14 (53:43):
Appreciate your luck that he certainly does.

Speaker 13 (53:46):
The whole point was to go slow, isn't it.

Speaker 14 (53:51):
We want to know you as a person, not the
VP of ethics and compliance that wins the company fun run.

Speaker 12 (54:01):
Well, it's only a ten k and to truly know
someone you need another family.

Speaker 13 (54:06):
Which is why we insist in young wig and join
us here yes.

Speaker 14 (54:11):
And and here we are, And yet we have no
idea what she's studying at university.

Speaker 16 (54:17):
Art history.

Speaker 1 (54:19):
Or I don't know, undecided maybe so yeah, he doesn't
know shit about shit about his daughter in general, has
just been focused on doing everything that he needs to
do for this job right running the as he says,
it's just a modest ten k run that they do,
the fun run that he's in charge of whatever it is.

(54:39):
And while they seem like decent people and they're all
focused about, ooh family, we want to know what it's like.
Why do you care what the daughter is like? And
it's probably just to make sure that she doesn't fuck
up his legacy, right. They want to make sure that
she's like normal, that she's not going to get any
trouble or she's not all of a sudden gonna start

(55:00):
billing out secrets that they actually are running like the
Umbrella Corporation or some shit like that. They've got the
T virus downstairs and they're slowly generating zombies in an
underground bunker in the middle of the city, in the
middle of Washington, and one day they're going to unleash
it upon the world and try to create all type
of a BBC's or where the fuck they're called in
that series to eradicate the rest of mankind and control

(55:23):
and make super weapons that can control the world like
that shit. They want to make sure that she's not
gonna be trying to discover the shit and go on,
even though they're not necessarily saying that type of thing, right,
they're just basically going on here and trying to see, well,
we want to make sure we know what the family
is like, that everything is cool, that we don't even

(55:44):
really know her, and we got to get to know
her because she needs to be like family, Like this
is some type of fucking Fast and the Furious movie
or some shit like that. Meanwhile, Ridley is over there
in the bathroom cleaning up, and that's when she notices,
like I said, that, the unicorn blood, because she takes
the towel that the unicorn blood is on, and then
she wipes it on the side of her face that

(56:05):
still has the acnique because half of it's gone now,
and slowly but surely it disappears. And as we get
that reaction shot. We go over back into the room
where everybody's talking, and that's when Paul Rudd is trying
to read the agreement with his reading glasses, but he
notices that everything's blurry with it, but he's able to

(56:25):
read it perfectly fine when he doesn't have his glasses on,
So even he knows that something weird is going on
in this situation. So it's like, you know, he's just
trying to get them to sign it as soon as
possible because one there's a dead fucking unicorn in the
back of his car, and two that this signing means
that he is going to now be the big dog

(56:47):
over there at this corporation and that everything is secure
for what he needs to secure, you know, the life
of his daughter. Even though he doesn't even know what
she really wants or what she really does, she can
be told content with her life. There also is like
a vaping storyline with her, where like she's in the
car earlier and when she gets nervous, instead of picking

(57:08):
out her face, she vapes, and when she's in the
bathroom and then she does like she sees the blood.
Then she grabs her vapor fast and sucks on that
thing when she's like, you know, not sure what to
do in this situation to calm herself down. So after
we've had this conversation inside, you know, I guess the
meeting room, ballroom. It's not the foyer. I don't even know.

(57:30):
Study Maybe there's a candlestick somewhere in there. I don't
fucking know. Maybe mister Body's gonna show up, and the
mister Body's is Griff Mister Body. I don't think so
that was Tim Curry. This is a totally different movie.
But you know, I gotta think back on that conjecture.
But nonetheless, so while they're having their conversation, then all

(57:50):
of a sudden, we go back out to the car
and we see that the unicorn, yeah it's not dead,
it's horn, starts lighting up and Ridley starts getting like
weird migraines and connections directly to the unicorn to where
she ends up sitting down and trying to like calm
herself with everything, and the unicorn starts moving in the

(58:11):
back of the car. She goes over to the living
room or wherever this room is where the family is
talking and tries to get her dad's attention to basically
say hey, you know, we shouldn't be here. We should
be getting out of here. We shouldn't have that fucking
thing in the car, and we need to leave like
right now. But of course, because he's trying to seal
the deal and make sure like nothing weird happens in

(58:33):
the whole situation, he tries to like, you know, I
don't know if you want to say, guilt her into it,
but he talks to her like a dad would in
this situation, where's like, look, you need to settle down
when you just need to finish this up, and as
soon as we're done, we're gonna get the fuck out
of here and we're gonna do you know something about it.
But of course the unicorn itself begins to waken up

(58:54):
and alerts itself to the entire family as well as
Ridley and Elliott.

Speaker 9 (59:00):
You in there, and I need you to be normal.

Speaker 5 (59:02):
They won't sign until they get to know.

Speaker 3 (59:03):
We have to go now.

Speaker 8 (59:06):
Something's going on to me. I can feel it.

Speaker 12 (59:11):
It's dead. It's dead.

Speaker 9 (59:13):
I need you to keep it together and act like
everything is fine, and then I won't bury it tonight
when everyone else is asleep, and they'll never know what happened,
and we never have to talk about it ever again.

Speaker 6 (59:33):
So sorry. It seems as if Ridley is quite sick.

Speaker 3 (59:38):
It's like some kind of bug.

Speaker 1 (59:39):
It might be contagious.

Speaker 11 (59:40):
Even so, I'm thinking I should just drive her back
to the airport.

Speaker 1 (59:43):
Now, what's wrong?

Speaker 13 (59:44):
What's going on?

Speaker 14 (59:45):
This is some sort of negotiating time.

Speaker 1 (59:47):
No, it's not. I promise. In fact, I can drop
her off.

Speaker 11 (59:52):
I can come right back and even answer anything.

Speaker 13 (59:55):
What elliots when I told them about you, I'll tell
him about your character, right, my character, about your metal
in the face of hardship, how you and your daughter
had made a go of it these past years after
your wife passed on loyalty dedication to the company in
that time, because that's the commitment that will be required.

Speaker 14 (01:00:16):
Even if that means are you Are you okay?

Speaker 8 (01:00:23):
I'm trying as.

Speaker 9 (01:00:29):
You have, mister Leopold, Yes, what is it?

Speaker 1 (01:00:34):
You know? I'm not sure? So now that all the
confusion is there, and he tries to calm the situation down,
but of course he's not able to write because he's
being forced to put this job ahead of over whatever
is going on up there, and trying to keep his
daughter in check, and he's not able to do it

(01:00:54):
very well because he knows he needs to be like
the yes man in this situation, which is all what
he does. He still tries to convince everybody that no,
nothing is really going on outside, everything is perfectly fine,
to where all of a sudden, there's all the noises
that are happening out of the damn car and things
are moving like crazy. So it goes outside tries to,

(01:01:16):
you know, as the alarm is going off in the car,
turn off in the car while the car is shaking
like crazy, and then a hoof comes out of one
of the windows. And it's funny because it looks like
the hoof comes out of like one of the windows
that you can see on the front side of the
car when the hoof does come out, but I think
it actually comes out on the other side, but a

(01:01:37):
horn does come through the top of the car, to
which when you look at it again, they're hiding it
pretty well, but you can't really see where the horn
has been done. And so eventually he's able to turn
off the alarm and he just kind of like looks
sheepssly like at them, and he's like, look, it's o Kate,
I can kind of explain this. And that's where the
unicorn busts out the window and starts screaming at everybody,

(01:01:58):
and I was like, holy crap, what the hell is
gonna go on? And it's trying to struggle get out
of the car, and the security lady comes by and
then shoots it right in the fucking head and it's purple.
Blood splashes all over the goddamn window that's there, and
so everybody is busy now outside and they're all staring
at it trying to figure out what it is.

Speaker 8 (01:02:18):
Like.

Speaker 1 (01:02:18):
I was actually shocked that the unicorn's head was gonna
get a fucking hole in it, like cause it's just there.
I figured something was gonna happen to it, because this
unicorn has to die. How do you have a movie
titled Death of a Unicorn when a unicorn doesn't die
unless it died in the beginning, but then they find
out that actually it's alive, and then they're gonna study
it while it's alive. It shocked the hell on me

(01:02:40):
that the lady just comes by and pops a fucking
capinet's ass like it owes her fucking money, and it
wouldn't fucking talk, and it was about to squeal about
all the underground deals she's got, how she stole the
vial of that tea virus that they've been working on,
and then all of a sudden he's like, you guys
gotta get away, you know, fucking nemesis about and then
she just go bot like she's fucking Wesker or some
bullshit we hear, and then just bust the cap in

(01:03:02):
his ass, like you aren't gonna talk no more all
you motherfucker. You know, But it's that just must be
what's happening in my head with I'm thinking about this movie.
I don't know why I think so much about Resident
Evil when I think about this movie. I just think
it's the way that they act as like, as collective group.
It really seems like they've got some really shady shit

(01:03:22):
going on, because we all know that people that do
the most shadiest shit also do the most generous shit
in the world. That they donate to all these different
like foundations, and they have all these funds and they
support all these people across nations and work with you know,
researchers and fucking make these miracle cures. For society, and

(01:03:44):
they look like the bastions of fucking good people, and
then you learn after a while that they're just evil
people because they also do fucked up things too, like
every normal person does, but they have the money to
do even more fucked up things than you would imagine, right,
Like I do fucked up stuff. Everybody has fucked up
thoughts in their head, but I don't have the money

(01:04:06):
to also act up and those fucked up thoughts. Also,
I've got a morality behind me. It says, you know what,
he probably shouldn't beat the shit out of that one
guy just because he bumped into you for two fucking seconds,
because it'd be fucking stupid. But if I had thousands
and thousands and millions of dollars, maybe I would go
ahead and clock him, because I know I could get
out of the situation relatively easily, and because I'm the

(01:04:27):
one that has the power, i'd probably get off scott
free and of the way right, because all I have
to do is flex my my power and my fucking money.
And the other people be like, well, you know he's
got the power and the money, so I guess you're
a fuck. You're the one that did it first, because
you know what, he's gonna be able to control me
no matter what. Like That's it just blows my mind

(01:04:48):
that that's what happens with some people that are out there.
Then it's not to say that it's all the people
with power money. It's not to say that there's some
actually truly good people that are out there that you
never hear about, but you always hear about the most
of the worse. And that's where we get our view
of society. But nonetheless, so now that the unicorn is
dead right, it's been out of cap, busted in its ass,

(01:05:09):
well in its head, and so they're all standing outside
and they're trying to rationally figure out what this thing is.

Speaker 12 (01:05:18):
I don't think I should be in in swim shorts
for this moment.

Speaker 6 (01:05:23):
I know a lot of species in this area are rare,
But is this exact, uh, you know, familiar.

Speaker 14 (01:05:33):
To you, familiar to us? Now this is new. This
doesn't say novel to you.

Speaker 6 (01:05:41):
Yes it is novel.

Speaker 12 (01:05:43):
Now that you mentioned that, what exactly are we saying
this is?

Speaker 8 (01:05:46):
Though? I think we know exactly what it is.

Speaker 12 (01:05:48):
What I can say with total confidence is Elliott Harris
hit a horse like mammalia vertrably would that be the correction?

Speaker 14 (01:05:59):
But it is horse shaped with some sort of protrusion.

Speaker 5 (01:06:05):
Gross right, that's my working theory too, feral, horse mad,
tumor ridden.

Speaker 1 (01:06:10):
It jumps in the middle of the road. Not the
fault of anyone driver, per se.

Speaker 8 (01:06:14):
It's a fucking unicorn.

Speaker 19 (01:06:20):
It does seem like a unicorn.

Speaker 13 (01:06:24):
Oh coming, Sorry, what have you done?

Speaker 5 (01:06:32):
We hit it with the car and then I blunt
force traumatized it out.

Speaker 8 (01:06:37):
Of sympathy, and then this blood got all over my face.

Speaker 12 (01:06:40):
Yeah, that's right, your.

Speaker 1 (01:06:43):
Your face?

Speaker 3 (01:06:44):
What is it?

Speaker 12 (01:06:45):
It's a face? What it's my acne?

Speaker 3 (01:06:48):
You don't have any acne, not anymore?

Speaker 13 (01:06:53):
And how are you feeling? All tiptop and now? At best?
Side effects to speak of? And you've had no other
contact with it?

Speaker 6 (01:07:03):
Well, some of it out of my eyes.

Speaker 12 (01:07:05):
I I maybe went a little overboard with the tire iron, but.

Speaker 5 (01:07:10):
My allergies.

Speaker 19 (01:07:12):
Oh should I call someone?

Speaker 8 (01:07:15):
Yes, yes, that we could call the Sierra Club, but
there's also the World Wildlife Foundation.

Speaker 13 (01:07:21):
I'm not sorry, my child, but this will have to
go governmental, I'm afraid, and that means military, doesn't it.

Speaker 1 (01:07:27):
No, I don't know.

Speaker 13 (01:07:29):
Perhaps you're right, perhaps we might ideate outside of the
box for an alternative.

Speaker 14 (01:07:39):
Yes, literally, there must be something that we can do.
I mean there's someone who works with NGOs. Believe me,
you do not want a bunch of bureaucrats mucking around
in a delicate situation.

Speaker 1 (01:07:51):
Do you write?

Speaker 13 (01:07:52):
In my opinion, we have a debt oh to the
spirit of this animal to navigate by our own moral compasses. Oh,
it's mysteries to reveal themselves so that we can honor
it in a manner that the public sector simply turn
all the lumps.

Speaker 14 (01:08:07):
Yes, then we will be able to shield Elliott from
the consequences of what we've seen a perfectly innocent accident, right, yes.

Speaker 1 (01:08:17):
Yes, So I love the reactions in the beginning as
they're all trying to like rationalize what this is, and
then Ridley just comes out it's a fucking unicorn, Like
you look down at it and you see that there's
a giant fucking horn in his head, and they're just
like they can't believe that they're seeing what they're actually seeing, Right,

(01:08:37):
that's ultimately what it is. So they're going through the
motions of saying, like there's no way that this is
real like, we're not actually looking at it, and that's
what they're really trying to like do in this situation.
But she just flat out I was like, it's a
fucking unicorn yet, idiot, Like, look at it. It's got
a fucking horn on its head. It's fucking magical as shit,
it's bleeding purple blood. When's the last time you saw

(01:08:58):
anything with fucking purple bloo? What on it? It's it's
going all over the place. Why can't you just say
it's a fucking unicorn when it's a fucking unicorn? And
then they start trying to manipulate her as best as
they can because they want to understand what it is.
And you can see that the old man is starting
to get really fucking like interested in what's gone on

(01:09:19):
and with both of them, because you know, Elliott turns
around over to her and it's like your face and
Shefferd's just like, what, It's just a normal fucking face.
What's so special about her face? Like it's relatively symmetrical. Yeah,
she's kind of cute. She's got nice eyes, she's got
good hair, you know, pretty good genes from being somebody,
you know, coming from somebody like you must have been
her mom that gave her a looks Paul, because it's

(01:09:40):
not necessarily you, but hey, it is what it is.
But it's just a face.

Speaker 13 (01:09:45):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:09:45):
It's not to say that I wouldn't hit it. You know,
she can give me a chance. Are you giving me
a chance? Because if you are, I've got a hot
tub in the back, and we can go hang out
in the hot tub for a little bit. And if
you don't have a swim, SIT's okay. You know we're
clothing optional here. I'm not gonna do anything special. You know,
we just let everything hang out for a little bit.
You know, the hogs gotta breathe, the boob's gotta breathe.

(01:10:08):
Everybody's got to breathe for a little bit. You know,
my balls might be a little smaller from all the
fucking steroids that I've been downing for the longest time
to make sure I look this swoll don't I look
so fucking swollen right now? I mean it's just muscles.
I mean everybody has muscles, right, but muscles like these,
imagine what you're gonna see. But down below over there,
I mean shriveled up balls. But still, you know, just imagine,

(01:10:31):
you know, the penis is a muscle, so imagine these
big ass muscles. What do you think that muscle is
gonna look like? Huh huh. You don't need big balls
with a dick like mine, is what I'm really trying
to say. But you know, again, your face is just
a face. That's that's ultimately what it is. And so
you know now that you like her. Acne is cleared
up because you know the wife over here is just
basically well, you don't have any acting. He's like, well,

(01:10:54):
not anymore. You know, I had it because the blood
got on my face. And then he mentions that the
blood got in his eyes, but he didn't necessarily say that.
His eyes are like the eyes of a twenty year old.
So he can see a fucking eighteen year old from
a mile away. Now he doesn't have to get up
close and figure out what age she actually is. He
can actually tell that she's too young for him. And
so you have, you know them all of a sudden,

(01:11:17):
especially with the old man dying of some sort of
fucking disease or cancer where the fuck he's dying from,
and then all of a sudden, he's just like, wait
a minute, he's trying to put two and two together
and that there might be something about this unicorn's blood
that actually did some sort of cure. So when she
starts suggesting that, yeah, we need to start calling these people,
the World Wildlife Foundation, the World Wrestling Foundation, you know,

(01:11:40):
the Boy Scouts of America, whomever we need to call
to come down here, the four H Club, and maybe
they can come down here and actually show us what
the hell this thing actually is. And you know, he
starts going through, Oh, you don't want to go through that,
that it's all the governmental tape. You think you don't
have to worry about it. Then then we can go
ahead and we can start drawing its blood and figure
out what I mean, we can we can just keep

(01:12:01):
it and we'll figure out how to who to contact
to make sure because it's gonna have to get the
military involved. And if we get the military involved, you
know how much shit they're gonna find. I mean, they're
not gonna find anything here about a special laboratory that
I have downstairs and a virus that's gonna allow me
to live forever and grow me into the giant's menace
that this world has ever seen. But why do I

(01:12:22):
suddenly sound like David Attenborough. I don't know, that's just
the voice that I have for this old man. Yeah,
but you know they basically manipulator into like, don't worry
about it. We've dealt with all these dealt with then
Geo's before, Darling, you don't have to worry about it.
It'll be okay. Oh maybe this horse enjoyed eating. Hey,

(01:12:44):
you know that type of thing, Darling. Don't worry about it.
We'll be all good is everything we give kids, Go
go inside while we figure out how to manipulate you more. So,
they're a scheming on trying to do something with this unicorn,
but we just don't know exactly what yet. So they
usher everybody into the house and they take the unicorn inside, right,

(01:13:04):
and we switch over to that evening as Ridley is
hanging out in her room and that's when good old
Elliott comes by and he has a very awkward conversation
with her that doesn't turn out the way that he
expected it to.

Speaker 16 (01:13:21):
You missed some good mousaka, do you want me to
see if there are any leftovers?

Speaker 8 (01:13:26):
Griff brought me a sandwich so good?

Speaker 11 (01:13:29):
Oh great, Well, you love sandwiches.

Speaker 12 (01:13:36):
Sandwiches are the best.

Speaker 3 (01:13:37):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 8 (01:13:37):
Did you want something?

Speaker 13 (01:13:39):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:13:39):
No, no, no, I was just you know, ir I
check in.

Speaker 16 (01:13:45):
See how Look.

Speaker 15 (01:13:47):
I know we haven't talked a lot since he left
for school, but are you okay? I don't really know
what happened when you touch that thing. Thankfully I stepped
in there, saved.

Speaker 8 (01:14:00):
The day you thought I needed protecting.

Speaker 1 (01:14:04):
Yeah, you didn't see what happened.

Speaker 12 (01:14:06):
You had like a seizure or something.

Speaker 8 (01:14:07):
No, no, it wasn't. I mean, yes, something happened, but
I wouldn't. It wasn't anything bad. It kind of felt
like it was showing me something.

Speaker 12 (01:14:19):
I forget it.

Speaker 8 (01:14:20):
What oh, because you're looking at me like I'm fucking crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:14:23):
No no, no, no, no no no.

Speaker 11 (01:14:24):
Look I want I want to hear, but you're not
giving much.

Speaker 1 (01:14:28):
Okay.

Speaker 8 (01:14:28):
Well I tried to tell you earlier when it was
still in the trunk, but you didn't listen.

Speaker 11 (01:14:31):
I was kind of in the middle of something.

Speaker 20 (01:14:32):
If you hadn't noticed.

Speaker 8 (01:14:33):
That thing and I were like connected and ever since
it died, I just I guess this feeling. I don't
think we're supposed to be here, Like it was a
mistake handing that creature over to these people.

Speaker 20 (01:14:43):
Right, Okay, I see all right, look, you had a
weird experience, and I will pay for the extra therapy.

Speaker 6 (01:14:54):
But I don't see what we stand to gain by
making this weekend all about you and.

Speaker 13 (01:14:58):
Your special connection.

Speaker 11 (01:15:00):
What a magical dead horse?

Speaker 16 (01:15:06):
Really?

Speaker 1 (01:15:08):
So yeah, he's it's it's frustrating again, Like you need
these types of scenes in this type of movie, right,
And this is where I talk about like the story
not necessarily going in the directions that I wanted to go,
Like I wanted to break the mold a little bit, right,
because it's kind of following a formulaic type of thing

(01:15:29):
when we get into like the daddy daughter relationship. As
much as I like the performance of the two and
their relationship to each other in this movie and how
they interact with each other, like it's very stereotypical in
the way that it is. Right, she gets touched by unicorn,
says on the doll where the unicorn touched her. Dad
doesn't believe anything about what's going on. And then eventually

(01:15:51):
he's gonna turn around later and yeah, the unicorn touch
you went appropriately and then gets the unicorn arrested. You know,
it's one of those stories. Wait, that's a completely different movie,
and that's a genre we shouldn't really be talking about.
But nonetheless, it's still like one of those types of
stories right where it comes with this where you have

(01:16:12):
this strain relationship in between the father and daughter because
something's happened in the past. A lot of the times
it does deal with the death of the mother, and
he doesn't know how to deal with it because he's
not a woman and she's now a woman, and he
doesn't know how to deal with her emotions. And it's
something different because he's still dealing with the death of
the mother and he's been struggling to keep the family

(01:16:33):
going for whatever it is and promise the wife that
he would always take care of the daughter, but he
doesn't really understand her, and she doesn't get why he
doesn't understand her because she doesn't understand the stuff that
he's going through at the same time. Like that type
of like stereotypical, like feel good type of story where
eventually at the end they totally understand each other and
they're stronger than ever, Like you know where that's going

(01:16:57):
to go in this story, And I wish that wasn't
the case, Like I wish that the relationship that they
had in the car was the type of relationship they
carried throughout the rest of the movie. But it really
comes down to how he acts as a character, how
Elliott is right, and the fact that he is a

(01:17:19):
yes man and he's still putting business before everything else.
That he knows these people are evil or he knows
these people are idiots, and he doesn't really want to
deal with him, but he continues to do it because
he needs to protect his daughter and he needs and
he's still being the protective dad at this point. He's
even like, oh, you know, aren't you glad that I
came and beat the shit out of the unicorn? And

(01:17:40):
she's like no, like it did something good and it
wasn't like being bad. It just happened to be in
the middle of the road, but like she didn't see
it from his angle. So they're doing that type of
story in a backwards kind of way, right, But again,
it's still a stereotype, So it doesn't why hit me,

(01:18:00):
it's just it's both. Maybe stereotype is the wrong thing.
It's it's a character trope. It's very trophy. Maybe that's
the right word that I'm thinking about for this, because
you know, sometimes I can't ever think of the right
words at the right time whenever I'm talking about these
fucking podcasts. But nonetheless, it is very tropy, so we're
gonna continue that type of trope. And then even with

(01:18:22):
the family and the power dynamic here, you know, he's
here just to go along with whatever they say. And
eventually we know he's going to break the mold. But
what is it that's gonna turn him to break that
mold and to finally side with the daughter on anything?
And what point in the movie is going to happen.
It definitely is gonna happen sometime late in the third

(01:18:44):
act if you're you know, if you're going by the
trope with everything here, So you know, even though he's
he's not fully expressing himself, it's still a good scene
because of the actors when it comes through. But in
terms of the story, it's just it's missing something that
I want it to be a little more exciting, and

(01:19:05):
I want it to be a little different from what
I've seen before. And really everything that's kind of led
up to it has made me believe that maybe they're
going to go in a different direction. When ultimately now
I'm like, oh, well, okay, so that's what we're gonna do,
and you can kind of figure things out, right. I
love it, and I've said it before on the podcast,
but I love it when movies like don't follow these

(01:19:27):
types of tropes, or if they do, they do something
new and something fresh with it, or they circumvent what
we can what we thinking is going to happen. But
a lot of times, even though a movie can be
good and sometimes in a movie can follow these tropes.
And I'm not saying that they're always bad, right, and
that I just can't get into the movies and I

(01:19:47):
just don't enjoy the movies. The issue becomes that, you know,
if I can guess where the movie is going, it
lowers my expectations or excitement for what I'm seeing in
the movie. If I have no expect dictations for the
movie whatsoever, eh, I let it slide. But if something
really interests me, then it definitely makes it feel less

(01:20:08):
exciting to me, or I'm not as interested as I am,
you know. And luckily this movie still manages to keep
my interest for a majority of the movie. But if
it was going down us very specific and it does
it by doing some surprising things that I didn't think
were going to happen in this movie, which will be
coming up shortly in what I was expecting, because everything

(01:20:30):
right now kind of plays even though I know the
movie is rated, are right, it plays to being like
a PG thirteen movie, right PG thirteen horror movie where
we're gonna set up this world and yeah, there's dark
comedy and everything's kind of it's silly, and it's funny
without being like ha funny, like specifically the joke. And

(01:20:52):
I think in that case, the movie does do a
very good job with its humor and it not being
like something that is purposely like it's not slapstick type
of comedy where it's not written like a comedy. It
just has comedic moments that do make you laugh out loud,
or at least made me laugh out loud while I
was watching this movie. So of course she shuts the

(01:21:14):
door on him. He goes into the hallway and he
tries to reason with her a little bit, tells her
how much he loves her, and then meanwhile she's looking
at pictures of herself and her mom that she still
has on her phone, and as she's looking around. That's
when she notices something in the background of one of
the photos of her mom where it's one of the
last trips that they took together. Spoilert we're gonna learn

(01:21:36):
about that later. But they went to a museum in
which I'm assuming is the met right, but it's her favorite,
her mom's favorite museum, and there are tapestries of unicorns
in the background, to which she starts getting kind of
interested in maybe there's something more to what's going on
than what, you know, what're they're left to believe about

(01:21:58):
the unicorn and the unicorn dying because the one that
she looks in the background and these again, these are actual,
real like tapestries and artwork pieces that are back there
where she sees a unicorn that's been captured in the background.
So she goes and she looks it up on the web,
pulls out her computer. It instantly connects to the Wi
Fi without her after type any passwords or do anything else,

(01:22:21):
which again it's that's like a silly movie thing for
me where I'm just kind of like, I wish we
could be realistic with some things, right, Because she just
opens her laptop, it doesn't do anything special. It automatically
connects to the Internet and booms, She's able to get
on Google and start looking for the things. But we
all know how that's gonna work. You're gonna open the laptop,

(01:22:42):
you're gonna wait a little bit for the fucking thing
to load. Then you're gonna try to connect to the network.
You're gonna see if they have an open guest network
or it's a closed network. You know, they're so far
out out here that you know, maybe their network's just
opened because nobody's gonna be able to steal anything. But
of course there could be espionage spies and US government
is trying to get out there make sure they're not
making the t virus like they said they're not. And

(01:23:05):
so you know, they can't connect to the open network
and see all the stuff that's on the computers on
the network. So they're gonna make a really long fucking password,
and so she's gonna have to figure out what the
password is unless there's a guest network and that they've
got like you know, pieces of paper that are up
on the walls that says guest password is definitely not
the t virus. You know, shit like that. Oh I

(01:23:25):
forgot there's an exclamation mark, and o's are zero's, and
if there's any a's, it's a name percent you know
that type of thing that they've got that, and then
you're gonna try to type that in and oh shit,
I forgot this was capitalized, but that's not capitalized. I've
got to type it in again. It's gonna take you
fifteen minutes to connect to the Wi Fi and then
it's gonna connect, but it's gonna be so fucking slow
because they throttle that shit to make sure that everybody

(01:23:47):
can't get information out of there as fast as possible.
So it's gonna be loading up like you're on a
twenty six point K modem right and trying to load
shit back in nineteen ninety two. So what I'm saying
here is for it to instantly connect. It bothers me.
It really does, and it's stupid that it bothers me.
So Elliott decides that he's gonna leave her alone, and

(01:24:08):
he walks around the house, and of course who calls
out to him but a good old shepherd as they
have a nice little hot tub chat. I like how
you handled think today?

Speaker 16 (01:24:18):
Good job, ah, dunca.

Speaker 12 (01:24:26):
I can see why you've done so well at the firm.
Huh ah, so I gotta say, never would have guess
what kind of meat you were packing, buddy.

Speaker 16 (01:24:35):
Oh well, it's it's all our meat now I suppose.

Speaker 3 (01:24:41):
That it is.

Speaker 12 (01:24:43):
Tell you what, why don't you hop in you can
chop it up talk about your future?

Speaker 1 (01:24:48):
Oh no, no I didn't. I didn't actually pack a
bathing suit.

Speaker 12 (01:24:52):
So stickler, I get it.

Speaker 1 (01:24:54):
That's okay, crab, crab, get elliot in a suit? Oh no,
oh no, no really, it's it's okay.

Speaker 12 (01:25:01):
You sure, yeah, yeah, it doesn't mind. No, no, I'm okay,
forget it. So tell me. I was wondering what's her deal?
By the way, she doesn't really like you. Huh what?

Speaker 9 (01:25:15):
No, why would you say that?

Speaker 21 (01:25:19):
I don't know, because it seems like it. I mean,
no offense, meantl Why didn't you get in? We can
hop tub about it. I think it must be a
moose mating season or something I was about done.

Speaker 12 (01:25:40):
Anyhow, hasn't that rope?

Speaker 1 (01:25:43):
So even you know, good old Shepherd here can see
that the relationship is pretty strained, even though you know
they're kind of being argumentative about the fact that there
was a dead unicorn in the back of their car,
and she wants to go and like, you know, take
care of it and see if it's okay or bear
or whatever the fuck they're gonna do. Like, I don't
know what she expected her dad to do with the unicorn,

(01:26:06):
Like what are you gonna do? He's not just gonna
drop it on the side of the road or anything
like that, right, he's gonna, you know, he'll bury it
or whatever. She's like, bury it, Like, are you gonna
take it to some foundation? Like I guess in a way, Yeah,
you found a fucking unicorn. Okay, I get it. You know,
you found a mythical creature that you ran over in
the middle of the road and it actually was alive,

(01:26:27):
and then somebody put a bolt in the side of
its head. Okay. At that point, there's not much that
you can do about it anymore, but maybe you could
find it help. Maybe it is just injured, and you know,
when it starts like fucking around the car, and especially
since she has some type of connection to it after
touching its horn, that maybe you should listen to your
daughter a little bit and not just try to do

(01:26:48):
what the people around you want. You to do. And
yet again though, there is some misunderstanding on her part
because she doesn't understand what her dad's having to do
to make sure that she has the life that she
has right now, right, which is kind of what he
was telling her in that situation they were in the
awkward conversation that they had, you know, like, what was
he gonna do? Like, you just need to act normal.

(01:27:08):
We need to get through this and we need to
move forward right on the whole situation that's there. But
at that point that's a little harsh to say. But
when he was saying it earlier, maybe she could have
calmed down a little bit. He'd be like, look, we'll
definitely take care of the unicorn situation or the horror
situation in the back of the goddamn car, but right now,
we really need to focus on this and if I

(01:27:28):
can get this finished as soon as possible, then we
can get the fuck out of here and we can
deal with that and do exactly what you want us
to do. Like she has to have someone miss or
understanding there, but she doesn't, because again, they're both in
a way kind of selfish people, right, because in all honesty,
when you think about it, he's not just doing it

(01:27:51):
for her, he's doing it for him, Like this is
still a move up in the world situation. Yes, I'm
finally gonna get there. Yeah, I'm gonna be somebody important.
I've worked my life all for this to make sure
that we're both secure. But it's also moving up in
the positions of the company to being a partner of
the company itself and representing the company. And even though

(01:28:13):
he doesn't see that, that's gonna strain their relationship even
further right where he thinks that, oh, everything's gonna be
great when that's there, because now I have the money
to do these things, even though the way that Odella
is talking to him is like, you know, hey, you're
gonna have to work super hard to keep this type
of thing. It's like somebody telling you that, hey, you know,

(01:28:36):
I work eighty hours a week, so you should work
eighty hours a week, and if you're not, you're not
right for this company. Where it's like, no, you want
to work life balance. I want to be able to
come home and you know, if I have kids, play
with my kids, or spend time with my dog, or
be able to go to a concert or see a movie.
Or do something that isn't work twenty four fucking seven, right,

(01:28:59):
I want to be able to have a life outside
of work and not be at my job for eighty
hours a week. But anyway, I digress. So they're having
that hot tub conversation where he's trying to get him
in the hot tub, and that's where we see how
he treats the help. You know, how he treats Griff,
where he's constantly yelling out his name and making him

(01:29:20):
do stuff like he's shouting loud enough so that he
can hear it because he has to be on us
beck and call every time. And I think it's fucking hilarious.
Like that makes me laugh so fucking hard, and it
also makes me feel absolutely terrible for Griff at the
same time, because he's always got to be like readily
available when he hears any type of shouting. I mean,
when you're gonna find time to listen to your favorite

(01:29:40):
podcast and catch up on the Terrible Terror podcast when
you need to, right, because this is your favorite, right right,
I'm sure of it, you guys, guys, I'll love it,
right right, You don't listen to anybody else, it's gonna
hurt my ego. If you don't, I mean, if you do.
But nonetheless, anyway, I bet you that's what Griff listens to,

(01:30:03):
because Griff likes me a lot as much as I
like him. But nonetheless, then all of a sudden they
start hearing the cries out in the distance, and that's
when Shepherd freaks the fuck out and decides, you know
what time to get out the fucking hot tub. And
that's just probably a moose. It's moose mating season. That's
just moots getting his rocks off. Do you know that
I have a bigger dick than a moose out there? Yeah,
that's right. That's because of all the muscles that I have. Yeah,

(01:30:25):
you see, that's the biggest muscle that I've got. You
think it was my heart, but no, it's my dick,
even though my heart's pretty big at the same time.
But ah, I'm gonna get the fuck out here. And
that's when Elliott sees a war borialie out there in
the sky. At this time of night, in this place,
and this time, at this time of the year, it's
very odd that it would be up there in the sky.

(01:30:47):
And we go back over to Ridley, who's busy still
researching on her magical connecting fucking computer that she's got there,
and she comes across an article where she hears about
the unicorns and what the tapestries kind of mean that
she's been looking at.

Speaker 22 (01:31:04):
The crown jewel of the Met's medieval collection at the Cloisters.
The Unicorn Tapestries are among the most beautiful and complex
works to have survived from the Middle Ages. The seven
tapestries illustrate a cautionary tale of a lord and his
hunter's pursuit of a mystical unicorn, which defends itself and
proves untamable, that is, until it is entranced by a

(01:31:26):
pure hearted maiden. The unicorn is pacified by the maiden's virtue.
The creature is then killed and brought to a castle,
where it is resurrected and kept in captivity. However, the
tapestry depicting the unicorn and the maiden is incomplete, having
been damaged during the French Revolution. But this reconstructed restoration
tells of a vengeful and violent beast, its mercilessness and

(01:31:49):
ferocity matched only by how much it was coveted by men.

Speaker 1 (01:31:54):
So basically what we got here as humans are dicks right,
that there are magical unicorns that are out there. They
were you know, rounded up, at least the one was
rounded up in this story and was captured by man
because the unicorn itself was believed to have healing properties.
And the fact that the unicorn was even resurrected at
the time even though it was killed by man, and

(01:32:15):
then you know, they decided to still trap it and
keep it in there, and a very pure hearted maiden
is the one that is able to subdue the unicorn, right,
and everything in the tapestry. I'd love it too that
they're like they were able to recreate these like how
you know what parts And I love too when it's

(01:32:35):
recreated and they bring out the blow out the picture. Also,
I love too that she's looking at everything in full screen, right,
She's looking at a web page and the web page
is like a small video on the top of the
web page is completely full screen, like you f eleven
that shit. And then all of a sudden, as the
video is going on, she doesn't change the resolution of
the video. It goes from being a web page to

(01:32:56):
being a full fucking video on her goddamn laptop. Again,
this is dumb. Shit, this is first world shit that
bothers me in this movie doesn't dig it out points,
but that type of shit really bothers me, Like why
can't we I mean, I know you're gonna put it
in full screen, but why can't you just like hover
the mouse for a second, hit the button that's full screen,
and make it go fucking full screen so we can

(01:33:18):
look at it, or just like focus in on the laptop,
and then the laptop becomes the whole video or the
whole screen of the movie, which is perfectly fine. But again,
I shouldn't be getting upset about that, but I have
to nitpick certain things in this movie because the way
I feel about it. But nonetheless, so the unicorns itself.
When you do the whole tapestry, you see all this

(01:33:39):
death and destruction from the goddamn unicorns that they just
magically were able to like figure out. There's one unicorn
that's in a back that's dumping a carriage into the lake,
and you see these people like swimming off in the distance,
and then you got one unicorn in the front that
is disemboweling somebody else. Another unicorn is kicking a dude's
squad in the jaw. You should be cannem squad on

(01:34:01):
the nuts. But you know he kicks him in the face.
Another one's that same unicorn actually is going and taking
his horn and ramming it through the head of another
guy as it's being stabbed by somebody else back there.
Like if I learned anything from this, unicorns are violent
as fuck, man, And then the dogs are like biting
on the unicorn. One looks like it's fucking humping the unicorn. Okay,

(01:34:24):
that's reason enough to disembowel somebody. You're letting your dog
fuck the fucking unicorn. What are you trying to create
some type of like puppy unicorn hybrid. It doesn't work
like that. It's not like breeding fucking canines, right. You
can't just take an equine and breed it with a
canine and create like some type of I don't know, equine,

(01:34:44):
even though it's kind of the same. Even if I
said canine, it's the same fucking thing. Jesus fucking Christ,
you can't combine the two words together. I guess a
doors that would be, or a horg I don't know.
I guess the horn would be if the horse was
fucking the dog. But it would be a Doris if
the dog is fucking the horse. I guess that's the

(01:35:05):
way it is. Is that the way mini horses were made.
They let dogs fuck. No, no, they can't, they can't
be that's burrows, right, That's that's a horse mixed with
a donkey. That's that's how you get the little horses.
I really don't fucking know, is it is it? Maybe
it's a you know, donkey, fuck's a zebra and then
oh we can get like a little mini zebras and

(01:35:27):
we can have them all for our own. Huh? Is
that like having a little mini pot belly pig? Like
how do you get those two? I don't know. That's
that's the mix between a hog and a cat. Uh,
you know what? They call it a mini pot belly pig,
but really it's a pog or a pat whatever you
want to call it. Hey, it's pat. Uh. But nonetheless

(01:35:50):
I'm fucking stupid. Uh So, Yeah, horses or unicorns in
this case are violent as shit as long as you
kidnap their young, you know, and basically force them into captivity.
Because it looks like basically what they did was they
you know, went and killed a bunch of people to
go save they're young, which of course causes her to

(01:36:11):
have some tour type of nightmares because as she's looking
at we see in the sky of the tapestry there's
a We're borealis right there in the distance as we
see outside over the mountains, and as we see her,
it like also fades over to a cave for a second,
and she's laying in bed and she can't really sleep
because she's got the magical connection. And then we got
into unicorn vision, where we see the unicorn leave the

(01:36:34):
cave and start running towards the compound. And what there's
one thing that I really liked that they did in
that the unicorns themselves are all black in this movie
for the most part, and they're not the standard white
unicorns that you expect to see even from the tapestries,
whereas everybody believes them to be. And then she's woken

(01:36:57):
up by two people in suits that ground her out
of the bed, grab her father, and take them over
into a hemetically sealed room so that they can run
some tests on them for the blood that they got
in their face and the stuff that he got in
his eyes. Right, so they begin to run tests as
they see that they've got the unicorn in the back
of the room and the dead unicorn is lying on

(01:37:19):
the table over there, looking like it's going to be
studied by scientists, to which we find out that, yes,
it actually was.

Speaker 23 (01:37:27):
The comprehensive analysis wilt be possible until the specimen is
transported to LEO Lab's campus. Even with our limited genomic
testing capabilities in the field, we can.

Speaker 11 (01:37:36):
Say that this is not a horse.

Speaker 23 (01:37:38):
We've begun analysis of the blood samples, reactivity with subject
one's facial dermis and subject to sinus cavity's vitorious body
and ocular lenses. Preliminary analysis has revealed some very interesting results.

Speaker 5 (01:37:54):
An omelet station or is that not a.

Speaker 23 (01:38:00):
Decrease vitreous liquid and increase We.

Speaker 3 (01:38:03):
Need to talk.

Speaker 8 (01:38:04):
After we left last night, I started doing research on unicorns,
and I think we need to be careful those tapestries
at the museum that Mom took us to do, you remember,
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (01:38:16):
Can we talk later.

Speaker 24 (01:38:17):
The science stuff's in the corner.

Speaker 23 (01:38:18):
But early indicators indicate that the bloods therapeutic characteristics may
very well relate to the horn itself.

Speaker 1 (01:38:27):
Oh yeah, how to say it would be conjecture.

Speaker 9 (01:38:30):
Conject conjecture is good.

Speaker 14 (01:38:32):
We can work with conjection.

Speaker 9 (01:38:34):
I don't think it seems to be some sort of organ.

Speaker 23 (01:38:43):
See somehow it's still.

Speaker 2 (01:38:46):
Firing bioelectrical signess to depolarize cells throughout the entire nervous system,
which is weird.

Speaker 23 (01:38:52):
Yes, bioelectromagnetic conductivity does seem unusual, potentially significant in compound
one delta.

Speaker 16 (01:38:59):
Excuse me, hi, Ellie Kintner JD subject one, well two
regardless made the discovery.

Speaker 6 (01:39:06):
It's good to be working with you.

Speaker 1 (01:39:07):
My question, what's that popount now.

Speaker 11 (01:39:11):
Pulverized horn?

Speaker 13 (01:39:13):
We need to study it.

Speaker 23 (01:39:14):
It's potentially more potent than the blood.

Speaker 12 (01:39:16):
Well, what are we waiting for? I say we pop
that sucker off right away, grind it up and get
it cracked. Is that maybe maybe not what the move is?

Speaker 13 (01:39:28):
For centuries Cavitanos, the Philippines have carried on a tradition
of bearing her dead inside trees, and the elder is
ready venture into nature to select it themselves. If this
doesn't work, that maybe lost earthly business for me.

Speaker 3 (01:39:58):
Doesn't work.

Speaker 6 (01:40:00):
Homelands there.

Speaker 1 (01:40:02):
So basically they conjecture that or they're scientific analysis of
the whole thing. Is that it is not a horse. Well,
no shit, Sherlock. I think you can look at the
fucking thing and realize that it's not a normal fucking horse.
Do you really need all that type of equipment to

(01:40:23):
do this type of bullshit? Are you wasting my fucking
time by going out there and telling me that that
thing that's lying on the table with the giant fucking
horn that's on the outside of its head means that
it's not a fucking horse. You spend how much money
to determine that going through this taking blood samples? It's

(01:40:46):
purple fucking blood. Okay, it's not red blood. Everything else
has red blood if you've ever seen it. When it
hits the air, right, and then all of a sudden,
it's purple all over the goddamn place. And again, there's
a giant fucking horn that's right there. You wasted your
time and effort to determine that it wasn't a normal

(01:41:06):
fucking horse, and that, Oh my god, you just can't
believe you're wasting all this time and all these resources.
You should be fired right now. You take one good
look at that thing and say, hey, it's a fucking unicorn.
You motherfucker. I mean, yeah, okay, so you take your
time and you go through and you you do your test,

(01:41:27):
and it's it's just so ridiculous. And to me, it's
hilarious that we even have that line in this movie,
and it's definitely meant for comedic effect. I also like
the fact too, that Elliott looks over at Griffin and
it's like, is there like an omelet station? And then
he runs away and at the end of the scene
he brings him an omelet. He's like, here's your omelet.
It's like he's like, oh, hey, I got my omelet.

(01:41:48):
It's so ridiculous, you know. And while you know, the
son's a fucking idiot, I get it. That's the whole thing,
and that he like he's trying to sound like he's
smart and like, well, this is your what we do.
We just take the horn off, We grind that sucker down,
and we figure it out, and that's that's it. That's
the right thing to do. And looks back at his
dad that looks like he's pissed off. He's like, or

(01:42:08):
that's that's not the right thing to do, right, We
just uh, I'm just gonna fucking shut up. Right over here,
right now, and you don't have to look at me anymore.
I mean you still love me, daddy, right, I'm still
a good boy. I'm still your best boy. Just because
I say something stupid every once in a while, I mean,
I'll shut up, Dad, don't worry about it. I'll be

(01:42:29):
a good boy. You don't have to put me in
the closet anymore. Don't put me in the room. I
realized I did. I didn't need all of the special
equipment and everything to determine that wasn't. Of course it was.
It was a goddamn unicorn. I just I wanted to
make sure first, and and I didn't tell these guys
go du a last. I said, use your fucking eyes.
You can't be that fucking dumb uh. Everything's okay right now,

(01:42:53):
I'll go in the room on my own. Okay, Okay, guys,
I'll see you later. I'm gonna I'm gonna go in
to my room, see you later, okay, bye bye bye
bye bye bye. Yeah, but it's it's so fucking ridiculous.
So they've determined, you know that, hey, it did work
on them. They got the blood on them, and that
the unicorn's horn happens to actually be an organ, right,

(01:43:15):
So there is one scientist here that actually did some
work and found out that it's sending some type of
bioelectric pulse to the rest of the body, like it's
doing something to the rest of the body. Right, So
is it healing it is it still generating, which means
that the animal is possibly still alive if that horn
is sending signals to the rest of the body. Hand hint,

(01:43:38):
wink wink. And so that also means that it has
some type of interesting properties because it did work in
terms of healing. These two of you know, your standard
you know, old eye syndrome when your lenses hard and
everything press bopia as it is called. They're over an
Elliott and the acne over and Ridley. And so of

(01:44:01):
course you have dear old dad over here Odell that's
dying from his cancer or wherever the fuck he's dying from.
And his idea, of course, is to use the goddamn
unicorn and use the horn to actually see if it's
going to help him and if it's going to put
anything into you know, remission or anything like that. So

(01:44:25):
we then go through a montage of the scientists out
here grinding down the horn and then turning it into
a liquid that they're gonna be able to inject directly
into his IV and see if it actually does anything
for him. As his IV is injected with the purple
stuff that's there, we see that Ridley's going out into

(01:44:48):
the forest and she's looking around at all the different trees,
and then she starts getting weird feelings. When she looks
up at one tree, we see that there's a bunch
of like weird marks on the top of the tree,
at least that's much higher up than anybody can reach there,
and it looks like it's been slashed a bunch. And
she starts hearing weird noises and starts seeing some of

(01:45:09):
the branches move out there, meaning that there's something out
there that is possibly following her around. So she rushes
back over to the house, and when we get back
into the house, that's when you know Elliott decides to
go check up on good oldell to see how he's
feeling after he's been injected with the powdered version of
the horn.

Speaker 9 (01:45:31):
Are you feeling, sir, Oh believe it's working. I do believe,
of course it is, ohdu of course, Oh yeah, no
I do.

Speaker 12 (01:45:41):
It's working, working, those tumors real good.

Speaker 13 (01:45:46):
I want to thank you for this gift, Eliot, the
gift of certainty to pass on, to be buried on
my case, cryogenically frozen in a subterranean bunker, but regardless,
to do so knowing you have tried it all thanks
to you, I have.

Speaker 3 (01:46:08):
I do.

Speaker 13 (01:46:08):
Wish i'd gone to space there.

Speaker 9 (01:46:11):
Yeah, well not many people have.

Speaker 13 (01:46:15):
Whatever comes of this, you'll receive your royalty, understand your discovery,
your cut, you'll become a part and.

Speaker 1 (01:46:25):
All of this.

Speaker 24 (01:46:27):
Thank you, sir. I'd be grateful. I know you would, Amigo.
Did I tell you we're on blackfoot Land? They're people
express their.

Speaker 14 (01:46:43):
No one needs to hear about that, not now, not ever, Darling.

Speaker 1 (01:46:47):
Just what it's weird that that ends like that because
he falls asleep and she stops talking to him. So
it's kind of a weird part to end the clip on.
But that's just the way the scene ends. And it's
just it's odd to me that we have this conversation
of it being blackfoot Land, and I don't know what
the significance of that is, right, And it seems like

(01:47:10):
they're talking about some like ancient Indian land and he's
gonna be going into it, and maybe he's been looking
for unicorns all his life, and maybe that's something that
would have added something to the movie if we learned
about that. But that just kind of goes absolutely nowhere,
And it's weird that we have that small conversation and
it's just like nobody wants to hear about that dolling

(01:47:33):
like they're hiding something, but we don't ever get to
know what it is. And I really wish that maybe
that would have been the case, maybe that hey, it
was that he's been searching for this forever, like he's
out here looking for clues, you know, to help solve

(01:47:53):
his fucking cancer, to cure his disease that he has, right,
and that he was trying anything, was being desperate. And
basically what he was talking about earlier is that he
would have gone out into the woods and just died,
been buried into a tree, buried alive into a tree.
And that's the way that he would have killed himself,
right and just ending everything. And the only people that

(01:48:15):
would have known that he committed suicide would have been
his family and Elliott. And maybe that's what he was
thinking about doing this weekend after he signed over everything
to him, you know, after meeting his daughter and making
sure that the company was going to be in good
hands with everything. But again, this goes nowhere. It would
be kind of cool if we actually got a little

(01:48:36):
bit more of that and to see that, you know,
maybe he thought that it was all just you know, tales,
but he was so desperate to cling on to life
that he believed anything. And that's why he built this
was to eventually find the unicorns. And he's been looking
from the whole time and hurrah, he actually did find it.
But that's not anything that happens with this story. So

(01:49:00):
she says that it's working. She's trying to comfort him
into making him sure and okay that if it doesn't work,
it doesn't work, right, like, just relax, you know, keep
your health up as best you can, and if it works,
it works. But he believes that it actually is. We
then cut over and we see that Ridley's over there
in the library that they have and she's studying more

(01:49:21):
about the unicorns, and that's when Shepherd comes up to
her and questions about her, what she's doing, what's going
on in here?

Speaker 3 (01:49:28):
I'm researching.

Speaker 23 (01:49:30):
I guess.

Speaker 12 (01:49:33):
What kind of researching. Feedback's a good thing. Don't be
afraid of it, right, I don't know.

Speaker 8 (01:49:44):
I guess I just kind of figured, you know, what
if people used to think that unicorns are real because
they actually were, you know, like we're the ones you
got it wrong. And I feel like if that's the case,
then what people used to have to say about them
is actually a lot more relevant than what we think now. Yeah,
but this this is all just bad faith, orcakee, misogynist bullshit.

Speaker 12 (01:50:04):
But some of this is actually tell you what, why
don't we get you situated properly?

Speaker 1 (01:50:08):
Grim?

Speaker 12 (01:50:09):
Yes, my large format printer.

Speaker 25 (01:50:13):
I was a real shutterbug for a few months a
couple of years back, for it got into archery and
that kind of took over everything. But why don't you
organize your thoughts, you know, print some of this stuff off,
and then we can present our research.

Speaker 1 (01:50:26):
To my parents?

Speaker 12 (01:50:27):
What do you think?

Speaker 8 (01:50:28):
I don't know, Yeah, I guess I could.

Speaker 12 (01:50:29):
Doesn't have to be like a proper mood board or anything.
But I'm a visual thinker, right, I can't wait to
see it.

Speaker 8 (01:50:37):
Really.

Speaker 12 (01:50:37):
Oh and Matt paper, Yeah, glasses coach.

Speaker 1 (01:50:47):
Dad so it's odd that she's like trying to hide
some things from him, right, she doesn't want to tell
everything to him, and especially when you know, like she's
showing him a little of what she's working on, and
she he rubs it off as just like, oh yeah,
this is just very misogynist stuff that's going on here.
In the article that she's looking at happens to be

(01:51:08):
about the maiden that subdues the Unicorn, right, because I
think that she doesn't want them to know anything about that,
because she's not sure what's real and what's not. But
that might be something that they could use against the
Unicorn if they knew, like if there was like more
or if there was something else. And it's something that

(01:51:30):
flashes real fast, and if you're not really paying attention
to it, then you're gonna miss that little thing within
the screen, you know. I like too that he's like,
I'm a visual learner. So he has them bring out
a giant fucking printer to where she's gonna print all
the photos of the different tapestries to put them together
to create a dream board, as he would say, of

(01:51:50):
everything that's out there. So you know, it's just it's interesting,
that she's like entertaining him at the same time she's
trying to be reserved about the whole situation. And then
as he's leaving, he sees that his dad is out
there in the hallway and he's standing and walking with
a cane, which he hasn't done for an extremely long time,

(01:52:12):
and he doesn't have the breathing you know devices on
him as well, and he's like kind of hunched over.
And then he rises up, stands up straight, and throws
down the cane and he's got like color back in
his hair, color back in his face, into which Elliott
looks at him and says, like, you look good, real good.

(01:52:32):
So he throws away his you know, his wheelchair and
his oxygen and then they take blood samples of him
and they determine that yeah, you know what, the cancer itself,
it's it's in remission.

Speaker 11 (01:52:46):
Spontaneous remission.

Speaker 3 (01:52:48):
What's that?

Speaker 23 (01:52:48):
Now we can't say anything definitive and right now N
only equals one, But there's a chance this is possibly.

Speaker 1 (01:52:56):
A It could be there for cancer. Are you kidding me? Cancer?

Speaker 11 (01:53:03):
That that's the biggest one.

Speaker 12 (01:53:05):
It's a top three disease.

Speaker 3 (01:53:06):
Easy, Why are you sure about that?

Speaker 14 (01:53:08):
I mean you've checked your math in chemistry and everything.

Speaker 9 (01:53:12):
Then I just don't want.

Speaker 3 (01:53:13):
To get our home set.

Speaker 13 (01:53:14):
I no longer need hope now I feel it. It's
gone half of my body for good. We've done it.
We've found my c o'bella.

Speaker 1 (01:53:25):
Well.

Speaker 23 (01:53:25):
We can't say anything right now other than it's promise fray.

Speaker 12 (01:53:28):
But we might be curing cancer here. Ye're there is
doing good?

Speaker 13 (01:53:35):
How you feel every cell in my body buzzy, vibrating
on the universe's frequency. I've never been so alive.

Speaker 12 (01:53:43):
Oh my god, they're gonna hate us on the nonprofit circuit.
Nice knowing your cancer charity is am I right.

Speaker 13 (01:53:50):
Slow down, Now is the time to go fast. We
need to get that creature into HQ to replicate that
compound poth taste.

Speaker 23 (01:53:58):
Well, but we can't, excuse me, we can't reproduce this.

Speaker 12 (01:54:01):
Oh you gotta say something else song.

Speaker 1 (01:54:03):
He's not gonna like that.

Speaker 23 (01:54:03):
These protein sequences shouldn't exist, not even theoretically. They'd be
impossible to synthesize.

Speaker 1 (01:54:08):
Whatever.

Speaker 13 (01:54:09):
Course, I don't care. Do not touch our samples.

Speaker 12 (01:54:11):
I was just looking at it.

Speaker 23 (01:54:12):
If you gave us all the time and all the
resources in the world, we couldn't reproduce this. Sometimes science
can only be humbled in the face of nature.

Speaker 13 (01:54:20):
For years, you've sworn that there's no treatment for what
ails me, and yet when I finally kill myself, you
say you can't replicate it. An opportunity for greatness, for
immortality handed to you, and all you can speak of
is man's limitations. Man has no limitations. So if you
can't recognize the alchemical miracle on hand, the potential for

(01:54:43):
your legacy and mine, then we may need a new
head of pharmaceutical fucking research.

Speaker 23 (01:54:49):
I understand you're disappointed.

Speaker 1 (01:54:50):
But you are still cured, So that.

Speaker 13 (01:54:55):
Positive I'd say, so, Oh, this is it all we have.

Speaker 12 (01:55:06):
It's like an NFT. I've told you about that before.

Speaker 13 (01:55:08):
Oh, I understand supplies scarce, demand will be high. I
understand you got the demos guests down there.

Speaker 14 (01:55:16):
Always let's prioritize anyone news out of public house care.

Speaker 1 (01:55:21):
So it has cured us cancer. It's put it into
complete remission. The unicorn blood and unicorn worn completely worked right,
and it's done wonders. It's made his hair go back
to being black. He can now stand up tall. He
now has the energy that he had from when he
was younger. Well he still like has old man energy,

(01:55:43):
but like better energy than he had. We saw him
at the beginning of the movie, and you know, Elliott
is all excited because like, holy crap, what I found,
you know, cured cancer. Look, we're doing good, We're curing cancer.
And she runs off because she's realizing that the story
are fucking true, that the you know, the stories that
told of the fact that the unicorn had healing properties,

(01:56:07):
and they really do, and that something possibly could be
like bad could be happening, right, So she storms off,
but she doesn't say anything at this point as they're
like cheering and realizing they can finally cure these things.
And I kind of agree with the scientists here, and
I don't necessarily agree with ordell over here where he's

(01:56:29):
talking about how, oh well, you can't replicate this. You know,
humans have no limitations. Uh, yeah, we do. We have
giant limitations. We've got giant, squishy, fucking bodies that tiny
little viruses can take us out. That we've given ourselves,
like cancer, through the different things that we've made ourselves

(01:56:52):
in that the fact that you know, we don't fucking
live forever. So there is a limitation to our lifespan.
We are not the oldest living fucking creature on this
goddamn planet, and you could be gone any fucking day.
Hope you have a wonderful day after thinking about that.
But it's just like, look, this is something magical. This

(01:57:13):
is something that is produced by this unicorn's horn and
this unicorn's blood, like the unicorn itself is able to
do this. This is not something that you know, we
could figure out in a week, could figure out a year.
What you could do if you, you know, had this

(01:57:34):
thing alive was probably milk the shit out of it,
is what you could do, and that's how you would
be able to create this stuff. And then you know,
they realize that. You know, he's like, oh yeah, it's
like an NFT. Good lord, not fucking NFTs, fuck those things.
But you know he does have I guess a small
point there where it's like supply and demand, where NFTs

(01:57:55):
and fucking crypto and stuff. Not a whole lot of
people have it, so the value of it up because
humans themselves make it worth that value, right, and so
you have this here. He understands that portion of it,
but not how ridiculous the fucking things actually are. And
so he's getting out his little devil book of the
people that have health scares because they're going to make

(01:58:17):
a shit ton of money. And I'm not just talking
about a little bit of money. I'm not talking about
a lot of bit of money. I'm talking about a
shit ton of money. All right, thanks, bar I appreciate it.
And so, you know, here we are, and everybody's getting
so fucking excited at the prospects that they're gonna be

(01:58:38):
able to milk this for everything that they have and
that you know, he tells Elliott, you know you're the
one that did these things, and my god, we are
going to be rich beyond imagination. So Ridley goes back
to studying some more on the different books, and for
some reason, you know, in this library of this rich guy,

(01:58:58):
he's got books on you knows, unless you like, got
Amazon delivery the same day and got all these books
about unicorns. This dude has them here. Why does he
have them here? I believe it's a story bit that
we're missing, right. I do believe at some point when
he was like, I said that black Beard, black More,
whatever the fuck they were those people that he's talking

(01:59:23):
about that used to be here. I bet you there
was some stories about unicorns, and that's why he's here.
And he's always looked for it, especially when we started
getting the disease. That eventually, when he realized that there
was no cure for it, that it was time to
start looking in other places, just like you know, when
Steve Jobs starts taking just random shit to cure his

(01:59:46):
patriot pancreat titus instead of listening to the doctors and
the things that he should still be doing. It's not
saying don't look for it, don't try these other things,
but sometimes alternative medicine might not be good for you,
but you're gonna try anything possible to make yourself feel
better to you, to be a placebo for you so
that way that you you know, you believe that it's

(02:00:08):
working and you're living longer, or maybe you do find
some random miracle cure for your disease and your cancer
that you know, boom, you've got it. That you find
out that unicorns they're fucking real and they actually do
have healing properties, and hey, you can cure yourself so
that you can live a little bit longer, so that
you just don't die randomly and maybe it'll help you

(02:00:32):
live forever. You know, you're gonna become an oasis song.
I don't fucking know. So she goes out, takes her
research back into the living room and you know, starts
to try to get everybody's attention, that nobody will will
listen to her as she tries to tell them that, look,
I think there's something big that's happening here. I think
there's something wrong. And he even has as you're going

(02:00:52):
around the living room. I don't know why I'm thinking
about this right now, but it even looks like he
has his own tapestry which includes the unicorns hanging up
there on the wall as well. So there definitely was
something I feel that was left out of this, out
of the cutting room floor, or maybe in something while
they were, you know, doing the movie. They believe that,

(02:01:14):
you know what, we don't necessarily need that in here,
or just to edit down the runtime. And then I
love too that, you know, as she's going around the
room that you know, the sun is like, oh, I'm
gonna make drinks for everybody, and he starts like making drinks,
and then he grabs the unicorn blood and he starts
squeezing it into the shaker, and he's gonna use the

(02:01:34):
unicorn blood to be a part of the drinks that
she's making. And as she can, keeps going around the
room and nobody will absolutely listen to her. And it's
not even her father had this.

Speaker 14 (02:01:45):
Much fun since we launched in ninety lunch and I
thought Etherium was a good investment, which it was, to
be clear.

Speaker 12 (02:01:52):
How those numbers looking now, I think.

Speaker 13 (02:01:55):
We made a lot until plenty of surplus con found me.

Speaker 12 (02:02:00):
Fuck, yes, we're gonna live forever.

Speaker 8 (02:02:03):
But we can't take it because I've been doing some research.

Speaker 9 (02:02:11):
Well it's en she enterprising.

Speaker 8 (02:02:14):
So the thing is, unicorns used to be seen differently,
all right, hundreds and thousands of years ago. They were
seen as like these divine monsters, but they were impossible
to catch, except everyone totally tried, because you know, since forever,
people fully.

Speaker 3 (02:02:30):
Believe that they could heal literally anything.

Speaker 12 (02:02:31):
Uh yeah, welcome to like ten minutes ago.

Speaker 8 (02:02:34):
Yeah, I know, which made me want to check this
research again because it's right. And Dad, do you remember
when mom took us to see these tapestries?

Speaker 15 (02:02:43):
No, no, I don't know, Yes, yes you do.

Speaker 8 (02:02:46):
The cloisters, remember sorry, her favorite museum when she was little.
She looks like a month after her diagnosis.

Speaker 9 (02:02:51):
And what does that have to do with anything?

Speaker 12 (02:02:53):
Yeah, I'm sorry, where are we going with this?

Speaker 14 (02:02:55):
You have to admit I'm a bit lost in the
woods on this one too.

Speaker 8 (02:03:01):
Just you just have to look at these tapestries. Okay,
they're from the Middle Ages. They're literally famous, and they
tell this whole story when that reoccurs over and over,
and you know, people always thought that they were a
metaphor for Christ and man's inherent corruption, which actually makes
sense in historical context considering the Church was commissioning aren't
making as a way to enforce obedience. But that doesn't matter.

(02:03:23):
What matters is I don't think that we're supposed to
have this, okay, because if unicorns are real, which we
know that they are, then these stories might be too,
And you.

Speaker 13 (02:03:32):
Expect us to alter course and invest in a theory
based on this.

Speaker 12 (02:03:37):
Yeah, this has no flow.

Speaker 1 (02:03:39):
Okay.

Speaker 12 (02:03:39):
I told you to make a mood board, not a shipboard.

Speaker 9 (02:03:43):
I don't get it. What would you have us do?
Leave it outside to roget No.

Speaker 13 (02:03:47):
One is suggesting that it's coming with us, sweetheart, and
that's going to help a lot of people, well a
lot of people.

Speaker 8 (02:03:52):
My good people are people I am telling you right now,
we can't bad things will happen. I can feel it.
Doesn't that count for anything.

Speaker 13 (02:04:04):
No, the arrogance to claim to know such things that
are unknoble. Does she represent your family's interest.

Speaker 12 (02:04:10):
In this venture.

Speaker 5 (02:04:11):
I don't know what she's talking about, Adell, I don't.

Speaker 11 (02:04:13):
I mean, she doesn't know what she's talking about, right, I.

Speaker 14 (02:04:20):
Know about you are standing out fair principles, and I
am proud of you for it. We don't need to
perform for each other.

Speaker 9 (02:04:32):
Here and now do.

Speaker 21 (02:04:35):
So.

Speaker 1 (02:04:36):
There definitely dicks to her in this situation where she's
trying to warn them that something bad is possibly going
to happen and nobody wants to hear it. And I
love how they're like, we're giving this to our people,
good people, but they're going after like the Devil's List,
where they're looking for people that have had recent diagnosis

(02:04:57):
and health scares, so that way they would be willing
to shell out all the money to get this miracle
cure of theirs. This like, well, it's not snake oil,
definitely not. It definitely works. But the fact that they
know that they can make a shit ton of money
with this whole thing, right, and that they even ask Elliott,
who's crunching the numbers, like how much is it? And

(02:05:20):
you're like, Oh, it's a ton of money. And he's
so excited because he's going to get a portion of
this money as it is, right, and this is what
he's been looking for. And he's so enveloped in the
fact that they're going to be making this money that
even he is ignoring his daughter, and as his daughter
is like talking about the last time that they had
with mom or after she got her last diagnosis of

(02:05:42):
what she actually has and that she's not going to
be here much longer and they went to her favorite
museum that he doesn't even remember the time because he's
so focused on everything that's going on here and now,
and he won't listen to what she's saying. And this
is where Tayleoni's care like pisses me the fuck off
when she's like, you know, we don't have to entertain

(02:06:05):
this right now, right, we don't need to entertain each other,
and like totally blows her off in like the nicest
way possible that she thinks is the nicest way possible,
but when in all honesty, she's a goddamn bitch is
what she is. Like Again, I don't hate her acting,
I hate the fucking character in the way that the

(02:06:25):
character's doing it. And it's great, right. I really like
the way these scenes play out, and isn't this stereotypical?
And this is very tropy in the way that it is,
But this is where the acting of the characters is
better than the story for what it is. I'm engrossed
in what's going on here personally as an audience member,
even though I don't really like the style and what

(02:06:49):
they're doing, because everything in this movie feels very tropy
right for being somebody's first film. I'm not here to
talk shit about it being the first film, but I
really wish that if he if he did try to
go that extra mile, right, if he did try to
do something different, but had to bring it back so

(02:07:11):
that it would be more like accessible. And that's what
the producers are saying to him, that look, I know
you want to do this, but it's not gonna be
as well liked as audience wanted to be, like, tone
it down a little bit, and maybe he was forced
to because like, oh, this is my first time doing
this type of thing, right. It's I'm not saying that

(02:07:33):
directing wise, it's one of the best things I've ever
seen from a first time director or anything like that.
I'm not saying that the movie is terrible. I'm just
saying that this story is pretty basic for what it is,
and this is one of those times where I wish
it was just a little bit more. It's still a
good scene to meet in particular, but I still am

(02:07:56):
wanting more out of it. I just I want to
grab him and be like, make it a little more exciting,
maybe make it so that Elliott is just like, you know,
he does remember those things. You know that he is
more in tune than she thinks he is. But it's
the the glamor of the Mighty Dollar that's there that's

(02:08:17):
focusing him away from it. You get a little bit
of that here, but you also get that, yeah, he's
been so engulfed in his work that he doesn't think
about the other things, and he doesn't stop to smell
the roses, and so he doesn't remember the time where
he enjoyed the roses the most, right where she does
because she, you know, and what they're I guess maybe

(02:08:37):
trying to say is that she feels like she's so
much more connected to Mom, and he doesn't really care
that she's gone, you know, and that's not necessarily the case,
you know, as we're probably gonna find out later in
the film, where he's kind of broken from the spell
of everything that's here, and so that forces really to
walk away disgusted, right, disgusted or dad disgusted at the

(02:09:02):
odells that are here and walk out and go vape
into the distance and go to the car and hang
out in the car as we look at the sky
and we see that the roarer Burrialis has gotten bigger
as they're all celebrating with their champagne and looking out
there and giving Elliott the champagne, and when he finally
gets it, he only gets a small bit of it

(02:09:23):
in his glass, as they're thinking more about themselves than
thinking about him, even though he's the one that technically
discovered the whole thing. The scientists then shrink wrap the unicorn,
getting it ready for transport over to HQ, which of
course really doesn't want done anyway, and we see that
Elliott is kind of like standing there and he's looking

(02:09:46):
out of them doing him, and he's like realizing that
maybe he fucked up a little bit. Griff goes outside
and opens up the gate, getting everybody ready so that
way they can drive out with the unicorn. And that's
when all hell begins to break loose and as somebody
or something has now entered into their you know, their

(02:10:06):
place that's there. So as the two scientists are, you know,
going down this like tube, right, it's one of those
like et style tubes where they're like, you know, quarantine
tubes where they want to make sure whatever they're doing
doesn't get into it so it remains sterile that's inside there.
And the lady who's been checking out with her little

(02:10:28):
like life simulator thing that they have, like determining what's
going on. As she's like scanning the unicorn that was
there earlier and was showing that the horn was still
pulsating with life, it suddenly starts beeping out on the
outside as all the electricity of the compound starts shutting off.
Ridley goes to look at her phone and everything's working,
and then all of a sudden, the screen gets all

(02:10:49):
weird and it goes completely black. We see the inside
of the house as everything is turned into darkness, and
we see that they're gonna send Ridley out, or not Ridley, sorry,
They're gonna send Elliott outside to go check on what's
going on with the doctors and to see what's going
on outside. So he goes and starts to walk down
the tunnel with the empty bottle of champagne and his

(02:11:11):
champagne flute. As he eventually approaches the scientists themselves, who
are wondering what the fuck is going on. Security is
going crazy outside. We have Griff looking at all weird,
and we see that Ridley is finally noticing that this
guy is looking closer and closer than it normally has.

(02:11:32):
And this is where we get a little of the
horror and where I realize that they did kind of
go all out in certain things in this movie and
what happens to be with some of the gore. And
this is what actually surprised me. Right. I thought that
this was just, you know, it's a horror comedy and
it's gonna get the R rating because they're swearing a
lot and some of the subject matter that's there. I

(02:11:54):
didn't realize that the gore was actually going to be
pretty good. Now it's not practical, and that's a big
you know, no no for me. I wish you know,
they don't have a huge budget. Again, it's only fifteen
million for the budget of this movie. You know, maybe
if they had a little more, they could do some
more practical things. And there's times where they do have
practical stuff, and I believe that's where they spent the

(02:12:17):
money on it, whereas doing the practical things for the kills,
it wasn't necessarily in the budget that they had set
aside for everything. So the first person to die in
this movie happens to be the one doctor that you
know was basically getting a scolding from Odell earlier in
the movie. And so as he's looking around and you're

(02:12:39):
hearing the noises coming from outside, he all of a
sudden like moves back really fast, and then he starts
opening up his chest, well up open the shirt that
he's wearing, right, which ends up revealing that his shirt
is starting to get bloodied. And I thought that it
was going to be like, Oh, it's just going to
show him and then he's gonna like slump down and

(02:13:02):
then oh, here's the bloody unicorn horn. Because it's obvious
that a unicorn has stabbed him in the back, right,
because as we know from the trailer, they're gonna get
attacked by unicorns, so there's gonna be more than just
the one that's dead. I thought that possibly the dead
one was gonna come back to life and then start
like attacking everybody, and that's what it was, but it

(02:13:22):
looked too small compared to the ones that you see
in the trailer, right, And so here's where we learned
that there are two unicorns that are out there still
and that they're coming to hunt everybody down. And we
see that as he opens his chest, and this is
just like the chest burster scene from Alien, where all
of a sudden, like it burst out and blood splatters

(02:13:44):
all over somebody's face. It happens to be the other doctor,
the female doctor that's their body I think is her
name Bati, right, not body Bati, And so she gets
blood spread all over her face, and then it cuts
back over to the doctor who's got the unicorn horn
that is now protruding out of his chest, and I
was like, holy shit, all right, well that's kind of CG.

(02:14:07):
That doesn't look bad, but it's not great. But I'm like, oh, okay,
well that's still kind of gory. That's kind of cool
for what it is, you know, that's great. And so
the horn gets pulled out of him as he looks
over to Elliott, and Shepherd's behind him as well, who's
now looking at him in amazement. And then the one
thing that you don't get to see is that all

(02:14:28):
of a sudden, his guts start falling out of his stomach,
and you only get to see the silhouette of it
from outside of the tunnel that they've got there. But
then they cut back to him and there's a reaction
shot of Elliott looking at him with his face and
you're looking at it at the camera through the doctor's body,
and I'm like, okay, that's that's a cool fucking shot.

(02:14:50):
And you see that there's still some type of the guts,
and it looks like a practical shot as well, it's
not necessarily a CGI shot. And then we see outside,
We see the silhouette of the other unicorn that begins
attacking everybody, and you see the fangs of the unicorn
that's out there, and everybody runs back and drags the
unicorn back. Well, Shepard drags it back, knocking down Elliott,

(02:15:13):
and then all of a sudden, the security guards outside
starts shooting at it. As griff he just runs away,
and Ridley runs back to the car to hide inside
of the car away from the unicorn that's causing problems.
After her father yells out at her to go run
and hide there. I'll be right there. So he breaks

(02:15:34):
out of the tunnel and starts running towards her, to
which the unicorn comes up to the car and starts
ramming the car as well. I thought we were gonna
like a Jurassic Park scene because she takes the flashlight
from her phone and sticks it out the window, and
I thought we were gonna get the eye on the window,
and I was like, again, homage to Jurassic Park, right,

(02:15:56):
But no, Instead the unicorn just runs up and rams
the car, and so she's forced out of the car.
Once he gets there, he manages to get her out
in time, to which she rolls outside, and then eventually
she rolls under the car to protect herself, as Elliott
has to like slowly creep around the car to make
sure that the unicorn doesn't see him. But you get

(02:16:19):
one of the coolest kills in the movie, and it's
not cool just because of the fact that the kill happens.
It's like kind of your standard kill, to be honest
with you. But I love what the unicorn does after
the kill. You see one of the security guys that's
out there, he gets knocked to the ground, and then
the unicorn's hoof gets put on top of his head

(02:16:39):
and it you know, so he's gonna smash the head, right,
so the unicorn is gonna totally destroy the head of
the dude, which it does. It just smashed downs on it.
The head explodes, blood and guts everywhere, and then the horse,
Sorry the unicorn, I don't want to upset any unicorns
that might be listening in the audience. It goes over
and it rubs its foot into the ground like it's like, ew,

(02:17:01):
I got it on me. You know, there's brains on
my feet. I don't want this there, which is fucking hilarious.
I love the way they did that, And if it's
not intentional to be comedic in that regard, it turns
out to be pretty goddamn comedic. But I think it
might have just been, you know, like a horse action,
but it really feels like it's just trying to like,

(02:17:23):
you know, get the fucking blood and shit off of
its feet. So he then we can't. That's when we
have Elliott, you know, telling her to stay in that
you know, he walks around the car. I really like
the tension in this scene as he's slowly moving in.
We don't get to see the full unicorn that's there.
And this is how we know there's two one that
attack the car and one that attacked the you know,

(02:17:46):
the tunnel that they were in and killed the one doctor.
So eventually they say three two one. You know, Well,
Ridley is like, we got to run in three two one,
and she counts down. He's like, no, don't count down,
and so she runs in. The unicorn chases after her,
and she stops it by, you know, closing a fence
in front of its face, and it starts attacking. But
then all of a sudden, it like slows down and

(02:18:09):
its horn starts glowing and the lights around it are
all going crazy. And then eventually it gets like docile
with her, and then the security comes by and starts
shooting it, and so that's what makes it eventually run away.
After the unicorn has looked her in the eye, and
its horn has started glowing. She does try to touch

(02:18:29):
the horn before the security starts shooting with a shotgun,
and it does limp out into the distance, where the
security realizes that yep, we can follow it out there,
and we can go and make sure we get it right.
But she doesn't want anything to do with that. And
now they've got a bunch of security cards that are
dead on their hands, a dead unicorn still, and a
dead scientist as they try to figure out exactly what

(02:18:52):
they're going to do.

Speaker 12 (02:18:55):
It.

Speaker 9 (02:19:00):
But I told you something like this.

Speaker 12 (02:19:02):
I already told you maybe if you'd had a more
specific warning, we could have left already.

Speaker 13 (02:19:08):
How did you know it would be this way? From
your folk lauric curricula.

Speaker 8 (02:19:15):
I'm saying something because it's not just the research. Because
yesterday I touched its horn and I kind of have
like a vision or something. I don't really know how
to explain it, but it felt like it was showing.

Speaker 13 (02:19:27):
Me something good, one little sister regale me.

Speaker 8 (02:19:31):
All I can say is, after that happened, I feel
connected to that thing, like I have some sort of bond,
And the same thing with the bigger one.

Speaker 14 (02:19:38):
And so you think that's why it didn't hurt you.

Speaker 8 (02:19:41):
Yeah, I don't know. I think maybe I think it
wants us to just leave its baby and go.

Speaker 19 (02:19:46):
It did attack when Doctor Song was moving a young one,
so yeah, she might have it.

Speaker 20 (02:19:52):
I hear.

Speaker 13 (02:19:53):
In fact, you've convinced me that the only way to
be as good of an advocate for these creatures as
you are is to recover this wounded utult before it exploss,
so that I can understand this experience of Yules first.

Speaker 12 (02:20:07):
Tund See, now we're talking sense. You see how that
feels different.

Speaker 1 (02:20:10):
No, that's like the opposite of what I just said.

Speaker 11 (02:20:12):
Hey, no bad ideas.

Speaker 14 (02:20:13):
We not to be a size queen, as they say.
But that horn was rather girthsome.

Speaker 8 (02:20:20):
Yes, and it was used to kill your guards.

Speaker 3 (02:20:23):
And doctor Dennis, Young Joe Sam.

Speaker 14 (02:20:25):
And wouldn't it be cruel to let them die in vain?
Think of that animal out there bleeding to death, suffering
alone in the wilderness.

Speaker 8 (02:20:37):
I feel very strongly that we can't just go out
and strip mine another one.

Speaker 12 (02:20:42):
Come on, they have cured everything that we've thrown at them,
so I'd say we have a moral imperative to harvest
every last one. Got it, horse girl.

Speaker 9 (02:20:51):
Hey easy, he is grass, but he's right.

Speaker 14 (02:20:56):
We do this not for our own benefit fit, but
for the betterment of the world.

Speaker 9 (02:21:04):
Brava medium, rare.

Speaker 6 (02:21:08):
That's you requested, sir.

Speaker 12 (02:21:11):
All right, okay, you know what, just spitballing here.

Speaker 16 (02:21:14):
What if Ridley and I go home, we take the
little one with us, you know, for safe keeping, to you.

Speaker 13 (02:21:21):
To retreat in the face of opportunity And here I
thought you were invested in it sweat equity. No, no, no, no, no,
that's any man who abandons his partner is no partner
of mine if you can't see this through, and is
certainly for the best, but your services are no longer
acquired as my family is proxy.

Speaker 3 (02:21:40):
You know what.

Speaker 12 (02:21:40):
Forget it turns out there there are bad ideas.

Speaker 16 (02:21:43):
Absolutely, that's uh, let's do your thing.

Speaker 3 (02:21:48):
What is your thing?

Speaker 1 (02:21:50):
Okay? These people are complete and utter assholes. We already
know that, but they're even more of an asshole in
this situation here and there are little subtle things that
you see in this There's one blatant thing that's there
and I don't know if it necessarily is what I
think it is, right, but I have a feeling it

(02:22:11):
might be, but it'd be weird if it was, because
then they would have had to take it a piece
off the unicorn, because he's like you can hear it
in the clip, but you guys aren't seeing the whole thing, right,
where he's eating something and he's cutting through something that's
medium rare, and it's purple when he cuts into it.
So since it's purple when he cuts into it, I'm
pretty sure that they decided to take a piece of

(02:22:32):
the unicorn and cook it medium rare, right, And so
he's eating unicorn, is what he's eating there. But it
could also be that it's just covered in unicorn blood, right,
they cooked it in a way so that way it's
seeped through the steak, and so he's taking his medication
as eating more of the blood that's there. But I'd

(02:22:54):
like to believe, even though I don't really want to believe,
that he's actually eating a piece of the unicorn. Right,
But you see that they are drinking still drinks made
with the unicorn blood, like they are going hardcore into
this healing property and this devouring of the unicorn that
they have there, And there's definitely symbolism that's that's going

(02:23:17):
on in the scene that they're becoming like kind of
addicted to what they have, that they're going into their
own supply, right, that they have this here and they
have this cure, and they're now they're just mixing it
with everything. They're drinking it, they're eating it, and I'm
pretty sure that more stuff is gonna happen with it
as the movie moves along. Hint hint, wink wink, with

(02:23:40):
everything that's there. Right, and they're still talking about it.
I again, she's a fucking bitch in the way that
she is, but Talione plays it so fucking well that
I hate her so much, right, especially the way she talks,
because she's just talking. Don't worry about it. Everything's going
to be fine. You know. He may be a crass

(02:24:01):
young boy, but he's ultimately right. The only thing that's
good enough for us is to go out there and
capture us another one, because that was a very grothy
horn that they had, and I want that horn for
my own. Oh, I'm not gonna do anything weird with it, okay,
just because I haven't had anything so goodthy in a

(02:24:25):
very long time. I'm not gonna be putting it in
places that maybe you wouldn't do. But he could, you know,
make me like I was before, back in the day
before I had, you know, my crass little boy around
here or something like that. You know, I never know,
could make him feel a little bit girthy too. But

(02:24:47):
that's neither here nor there. We're not talking about my vagina. No, no, no, no,
don't don't worry about it. I'm just gonna rub a
little on my boob so the little perkier. You know,
what about bathing and hors blood? Have you ever thought
of that before, darling? Yes, we could have a nice
little bath my hair, these split ends would go away,

(02:25:09):
you know, get rid of some of the wrinkles and
watts and liver spots that have gotten over the years.
Let's say, you know, maybe instead of everything being gray,
me having to die, I wouldn't have to die any
hair any more. Darling. Don't you think about that? Why
won't you think about how it could help me and

(02:25:31):
how it could help us, and how we could generate
even more money. Like that's basically what they're going through, right.
They're just getting extremely greedy and they want more. They've
had a small taste and they haven't been able to
have enough. So you have Odell over here that got
the taste of the rejuvenation and he's so into it

(02:25:52):
that now he's eating it. Right, they're drinking it. They
are just indulging. They're going way over in the read
of what they could possibly do with this miracle cure
that they've now discovered, and the fact that there's one
more they believe to be there, one more that's out there.
But if you noticed when you watch the movie and

(02:26:13):
you see the scene, that the two unicorns do look different.
Even though we don't see the one that kills the doctor,
we do see a silhouette and he's got giant fangs
that are out there, while the other one that comes
up is a lot more, you know, cook like soft
and calm and doesn't have the same type of aggressiveness.

(02:26:36):
It's still aggressive, but it's not the aggressiveness that the
other unicorn had. So as an audience, we know there's two,
but they believe that it's only one, and one has
done both attacks, even though it's it's not very close
to each other, and the attacks happened about the same time.
So they want to go out there, and the idea

(02:26:56):
that they have to go get this thing is that
they're going to go out there and they're gonna hunt
it down. So they we have a little step outside
with Elliott as he approaches, you know Odell that's out there,
as he's getting ready to go on the big hunt.
And then that's when Shephard he comes by and he

(02:27:16):
has to have excuses for why he's not gonna be
joining them.

Speaker 12 (02:27:21):
Like, oh, Griff can't find my compound bow. So yeah,
I thought now it would be like a perfect time.

Speaker 9 (02:27:25):
For me to just hit the top favor, say the excuses.

Speaker 13 (02:27:28):
It's not an excuse.

Speaker 12 (02:27:29):
Someone needs to stay here and brainstorm how to brand
away from the whole unicorn murder thing. And you know
that's where I do my best thinking.

Speaker 3 (02:27:35):
I don't care if that thing is down out there.

Speaker 14 (02:27:36):
You can't go with them.

Speaker 8 (02:27:37):
We can't be a part of this anymore.

Speaker 9 (02:27:39):
I have to keep our steak, you know, steak down.

Speaker 3 (02:27:42):
You're right down.

Speaker 9 (02:27:43):
They're not great people, but I will tag along with them.

Speaker 3 (02:27:46):
I'll watch them haul this corpse in and then you
and I know we'll finally be set.

Speaker 8 (02:27:49):
If you go out there, I'm leaving because it's a
good thing.

Speaker 16 (02:27:52):
What if Mom was able to get something like this.

Speaker 8 (02:27:56):
They wouldn't even let her get near it. Can you
please please just listen and not go? Can you please
stay with me?

Speaker 13 (02:28:04):
That is, it's time to collect our spoils.

Speaker 3 (02:28:09):
It won't be all right.

Speaker 11 (02:28:10):
You'll thank you for this someday.

Speaker 13 (02:28:14):
Misguided. At least she's got some intellectual rigor about it.

Speaker 1 (02:28:18):
Misguided, my ass. She's the only one that knows if
you go out there that it might not be a
good thing. And she's been trying to warn you this
entire time. But now bunch of people are fucking dead
that are out there because your bitch asses couldn't fucking
just leave this thing alone and didn't have to, you know,
drink the blood and use the blood like, okay, I

(02:28:40):
get it. You heal yourself. You find out that this
is a cure for cancer. I have a hard time
being like, oh man, you know eh, yeah, okay, you
could work with this, like you could find the compound
if you could figure it out, that's great. We all
know that these guys are great. The son of a bitches, though,

(02:29:01):
and they're not doing it for the betterment of mankind.
They're doing it for the better men of their bottom
fucking dollar and they're easily, you know, manipulating Elliott into
doing exactly what they want by threatening him that he
won't be partner and that he won't get anything from this,
and they're basically gonna take him out of the whole
situation unless he keeps saying yes, yes, yes, And he's

(02:29:21):
too big of a pussy to just stand up and
be like, look, you can't do this type of shit,
because even when his daughter comes up to him, he's like, look,
you can't do this, you can't go. I don't care.
We just need to be not be a part of
this and stay out of this whole situation and not
worry about it. Right, Let's just get the fuck out
of here. But he's just like, look, if I just
go with them and I don't do anything, and I

(02:29:44):
just you know, see what they do and then we
come back, boom, we're done and we can leave. I've
got everything that I need and that's it. But then
he'll be manipulated in staying even longer and becoming a
patsy for these guys. And that's really all Elliott is
is right for anything that's going on, because even if
he signed the stuff, then all of a sudden, the

(02:30:06):
bad stuff about the company comes out. Who's the one
that's the fall guy? It's gonna be fucking Elliott, And
ell Elliott can think about is like he's not even
seeing this type of thing, right, And that's the reason
that they're keeping him around, and that he's seeing all this,
he can't run off and tell anybody what's going on.
And all of a sudden, you know, hey, something goes bad.

(02:30:28):
These guys died, then they're gonna blame it on you,
and you don't even realize it because you're too stupid
to notice, and you're too much of a yes man
to say no and not be like situated in this
in general. Right, So of course he goes along with them,
and we go back inside and we've seen that Shepherd
is coming up to doctor body and he's basically now

(02:30:49):
trying to get her to honor the life of the
other doctor that died, which I can't remember the goddamn
name of the doctor, even though it's been said a
couple time, but it just the name excludes me. And
so the doctor is dead, and you know, he decides
that they need to take the horn off for science

(02:31:10):
and to make sure that his legacy lives on, and
not that the sun wants the horn for himself.

Speaker 6 (02:31:16):
Of loss.

Speaker 12 (02:31:22):
Cuts deep? I bet yeah, But doesn't it feel like
it's kind of how he might have wanted to go?

Speaker 3 (02:31:30):
You know, not really no, but isn't it, you.

Speaker 12 (02:31:37):
Know, in pursuit of science? I mean, so he's gone.
What do we do now? Do be sulk lament?

Speaker 1 (02:31:46):
Be weak?

Speaker 9 (02:31:48):
I don't think that's what I'm doing?

Speaker 12 (02:31:49):
Or do we keep pushing huh, keep pushing the science
and maintain his intellectual rigor can you put that down,
honor his life's work, or maybe he's not worth remembering?

Speaker 16 (02:32:08):
Of course he is.

Speaker 12 (02:32:11):
Exactly, and that's why I think you need to get
back in there, get back to work, nake him proud,
and saw the horn off that fucking pony.

Speaker 20 (02:32:23):
What do you say?

Speaker 7 (02:32:26):
I thought we were talking like a commemorative plaque or something.

Speaker 12 (02:32:29):
Oh no, no, no, there's no time for that horn first.

Speaker 1 (02:32:33):
I'm black, right, So this dumbass son of theirs wants
to go in there and remove the complete horn, And
that's what exactly needs to be done. She needs to
go in there honor his like his life by sowing
off the fucking unicorn's horn and that's what's gonna really
do it. I love that she's just like, you know,

(02:32:54):
he's like being around here sulking, and she's like, it's
not really what I'm doing. It's more or less like,
oh my god, all these people are dead. There's a
fucking unicorns are real, and unicorns have killed a bunch
of people. Killed one of my coworkers, one of my
associates out here, killed another random dude, and they're attacking us.
What could happen? What could be worse? Maybe she's thinking

(02:33:16):
about how the fuck is she gonna get out of
there and get away from the situation. And again, all
these guys do is just try to manipulate people into
doing exactly what they want to do. And then he
picks up the vial, you know, and he's like showing
her it's this, this is his legacy, and she's like
put it back. And then as he's distracting her, he
takes the vial and then sticks it into his pocket

(02:33:38):
as he gets her to go in there and remove
the horn. Meanwhile, Ridley is on top in the second
story and is listening in on the whole conversation that's
going on there. We go back out into the hunt
and we see that they've found the blood along the
trail to figure out where this unicorn is. Go back
inside and we see that, you know, good old shepherd

(02:34:00):
over here is looking at some of the tapestries that
have been printed out and decides to like smell the
vial of stuff and then he lays some out, creates
a line and snorts that motherfucker right out of his nose,
as he says, for science. So not only is he

(02:34:21):
treating us as a cure all uh, this is the
new crack. So he's got his stuff. He rolls up
his one hundred dollars bill and he just snorts that
shit right up his fucking nose to where he starts
to get the universe in his eyes, and he like
leans back in his chair and everything is kind of
opened up to him at this point, and he just

(02:34:43):
is freaking the fuck out for everyone to see, well
for the audience to see at this point, and I
just like, come on, dude, like is that your first thought?
You discover this miracle drug and this powder, and you're
just like, do we do this for the very first
time where we go out there and we fucking snort it?

(02:35:04):
Can we turn this into drugs? No? Well, maybe maybe
that's the best thing that we can do. I mean,
why can't we get high from this thing? Why can't
we smoke it? Why can't we snort it? Why can't
we inject it? We're injecting it already a way. We're
gonna feel great, We're gonna feel fantastic. But what if

(02:35:26):
we just put it up our nose. Yeah, that's the
way to go. Let's fucking do it. Oh yeah, that's
the stuff. This is better than any other eight ball
that I could possibly have in the world. Ooh hm,
oh yeah, this is this is the shit. Oh yeah,

(02:35:46):
I think I think. I think I'm speaking through through
seeing through space and time. Oh my god, I'm a baby.
I'm a baby in the womb once again. No, Mama, no,
don't send me out to that world. I just want
to live here where it's nice and safe. Oh no,
oh no, I think I see it to see the
bright light. Oh no, I'm coming down. Imagine if the

(02:36:09):
come down off of Unicorn is so bad that it
sends you into like a spiral, and it's like the
most addictive thing in the world that could possibly be,
and you have to snort it twenty four to seven
just to feel anything. Wouldn't that be the worst like
miserable experience, Like you'd feel fine for like the ten
minutes that it works, right, like you know, crack or

(02:36:32):
anything of the sort. I've never heard, you know, or
never experienced any of it before. So I don't know
this is coming from a square as the kids would say,
you know, back in my time, because I don't know
what the kids would say nowadays, because I'm kind of
out of it and old, but nonetheless like just but

(02:36:54):
just imagine that it gives you the most euphoric and
eye opening high that you've ever had. But at the
same time, you can't go you know, five ten minutes
without like snorting it again, So you always have to
have a unicorn horn with you that you're constantly shaving off.
And how long do you think one of those horns
is actually going to last you? Is it gonna last you,

(02:37:16):
you know, five years, Is it gonna last you ten days?
Is it gonna last you fifteen hours? Because you're constantly
snorting the damn thing. I don't fucking know. But that's
not the way that you really want to go, right,
So why would you even try it because you're an
addict and you need to do more shit with it.
We follow as Ridley is going out to the car
and she's deciding that she's going to leave on her

(02:37:37):
own because, you know, like she told her dad, if
he's going out there, then she needs to go. And
as she sits in the driver's seat and gets ready
to go off, she picks up her dad's tissue and
looks at it lovingly, and it's like, ill, like that
reminds you of your dad, Like that's what gets you sentimental? Ah,
I miss when Dad used to rub his snot rockets

(02:37:59):
underneath chair, and then I'd crawl underneath there and I'd
see all the collection of green oh man, that that
was the time. That was the best time. When we
were kids, man, you know, and well when I was
a kid, not when we were kids. I don't know
what he was like when he was a kid. Maybe
he was doing more than just like living snot rockets everywhere.

(02:38:20):
Probably was like stiff socks. I really shouldn't think of
my dad in that way. That's pretty fucking disgusting. But
he hasn't had any a really long time, and I
really shouldn't think about my dad in that way. But
you know, the snot the snot why Daddy, I love you?
This not why why won't you listen to me? Dad?

(02:38:40):
Why won't you listen to me? I love his not
you know that type of thing that's going on in
the back of her head. And so as she's sitting
there in the car, all of a sudden, she notices
that this guy is lighting up like the fourth of July,

(02:39:01):
and the fact that you know what, maybe the unicorn's
not fucking dead or it's not injured enough, or she's
also not realizing that there's two fucking unicorns that's out there.
So now that she's realized that the unicorn it isn't
fucking dead, it's pretty much alive, and that it's probably
gonna hunt them down, we see that the hunters are

(02:39:21):
out there walking in the woods as they have the
doctor's little life thing as they're trying to search it
and figure out where it's at. And we go back
over to Ridley, who's now looking at all the different
tapestries that she's picked out or she's printed out, and
she's starting to put two and two together and realizes
the resurrection is one of the parts of the story,

(02:39:44):
and tries to text her dad and tell them to
turn around right now, but of course her phone has
absolutely no signal and isn't able to send anything to
them directly, because what she's realizing is that the horse
itself can as actually resurrect itself, right or it can
heal itself. And that's what they meant by resurrecting the horse,

(02:40:06):
and the story was that or the unicorn, is that
the unicorn actually was able to heal itself well enough,
and that's what it's kind of doing with its horn.
We see out in the forest that the unicorn, its
horn is glowing really really bright, and the horse is
healing itself. And so as Ridley is walking around the
hallways inside the mansion that's there, she overhears the batia.

(02:40:31):
That's actually now, I keeps saying bati but it's batiya. Batiya,
is you know, telling good old shepherd over here that
even though there's signs of decay and there's signs of
you know, the fact that the unicorn is dead, it's
actually still healing itself, slowly but surely. And that's what
the pulses of the horn actually mean, so.

Speaker 15 (02:40:54):
The excuse is batia.

Speaker 2 (02:40:55):
It's not an excuse. And we tried with the horn
of the organ, whatever it is, it seems to be
signaling for I mean, cellular swelling, mitochondrial dysfunction, all typical
signs of postwordum decay and decomposition.

Speaker 9 (02:41:17):
You're not just selling.

Speaker 12 (02:41:19):
Reversing hold the phone paste, Leone. You're saying it won't
stay dead.

Speaker 2 (02:41:26):
Maybe yeah, maybe maybe ye yeah, yeah.

Speaker 12 (02:41:29):
I want that horn in my hand.

Speaker 1 (02:41:32):
So he wants the horn, he wants to have it,
so that I guess maybe he could also get the
eternal life from the horn. That if the horn is
taken off, it's weird because in the back of my mind,
I might think, of course, maybe I'm not as dumb
as Shepherd is here and is sheltered and silver spoon
fed as he is, and I can kind of think
on my own without having to have snort some fucking

(02:41:54):
unicorn horn. But in my mind, if it's still pulsating
to the body and it's healing the body, me, if
you remove it, you're not gonna get those properties that
you think that you're going to get. If you think
the horn's gonna help you live forever. What are you
gonna do? Stick it in your fucking forehead, like fuse
it there, and then every now and then you're gonna
like shave just a little bit off so that way

(02:42:15):
that you can have it a unlimited supply of drugs
to get you high all the time. Well, if you
could do that, that probably would be the right thing
for you to do. You just have a fucking horn
on your head. Maybe you could turn it into your penis,
because your penis is probably not as big as you
think it is and so, you know, but then you
would have a constant heart on Well I guess if
you shaved it down enough, it wouldn't matter that much,

(02:42:36):
but it'd be weird. You know, you're getting busy and
then boom, unicorn horn instead of a dick. You take
a very special lady to be into that type of thing,
I think, you know, and then the fact that you
get no sensation or dude, I don't want to discount that.
You know, it could be a dude. Dudes could totally

(02:42:58):
be into unicorn horns because are into really weird shit sometimes.
I mean, there's some weird women, but you don't really
hear about them that often. Unless it's like a furry thing.
But with men, yeah, they probably would be. There'd be
some dude that would be like, yeah, okay, and did
you're not feeling anything? Eh? You know, you could say
that you're not gay. I guess I don't know. Maybe

(02:43:20):
maybe you're by I don't give a fuck whatever you
want to be. If you want to fuck a dude
with the unicorn horn, if you want to fuck a
lady with the unicorn horn, or you just wanna you know,
jacket off so that way you get shavings, I don't
know what the fuck you're gonna do with the unicorn horn, dick. Okay,
don't come to me for these fucking answers. I just conjecture. Okay.
Conjecture is good. As I've learned from this movie. It's

(02:43:42):
good to have conjectures, all right. I don't have all
the answers. I only have hypothesis. That's it. Anyway. So
as he runs off, that's when Ridley starts going around
looking at for a way that you can contact her father,
and she interrupts Griff, who happens to be listening to
a podcast again. I hope he's listening to The Terrible
Terror podcast and make me feel so good. If he

(02:44:04):
was listening, especially was on this episode while he's there,
then he would know exactly to what type of danger
that it'd be weird because then he'd have gone into
the future to go back into the past to listen
to this episode while everything's going on in it. Maybe
he's listening to the House of the Dead episode because
he kind of looks like the guy that wanted to

(02:44:25):
live forever, which has my favorite bad line in any
movie ever, which is my favorite moments from this goddamn podcast.
Why do you want to be immortal because I want
to live forever? Of course you do, you dumb motherfucker. Anyway,
I don't remember exactly how I said it, but I
love it. That's one of my favorite favorite parts of
this podcast. Anyway, if you haven't listened to that, go

(02:44:46):
back and listen to the House of the Dead episode. So, nonetheless,
he interrupts or she interrupts his podcast listening to ask
how they can get in touch with everybody outside, and
he takes her to go outside, and basic realizes there's
got to be a way, but well, he doesn't take
her outside. He basically is starting to say something and

(02:45:08):
then Tayleoni shows up, which he shuts down, turns around,
goes back to his you know, his work as she
interrupts and is like, well, what's going on here? And
then we go to Batiya, who has begun sawing the
horn off of the unicorn as it begins to grow
you know, a glow in its you know, yellow thing
like it's shooting out light to do healing, but it's

(02:45:28):
also signaling at the same time, right, but even though
and she's not touching it with her bare hands, so
she's not getting the light you know, or the visions
that Ridley got from before, right, and instead she's you know,
she has gloves and she's just sawing it off. Meanwhile,

(02:45:48):
out there in the forest, we see that they've come
across and they're about to take out the unicorn that's healing. Well.
You know, of course Odell wants to go over there
and touch the horn, and as you know, all of
a sudden, he looks at his phone because he starts
getting all the messages from his daughter that' says turnaround,
run away now, And that's when they cut back over

(02:46:10):
into the lab and Batiya has cut off the horn,
which of course causes Ridley to feel that pain, and
she starts like holding her head like she's got a
really bad fucking migraine. And then all of a sudden,
out there in the forest, you know, as Elliott is
trying to warn everybody, saying we need to go back,

(02:46:30):
the security lady, she looks down at the you know,
the little thinging that she has that shows the life
and everything that's around there from the scientist. All of
a sudden, it points right behind her and she goes,
oh shit. And that's when the other unicorn pops out
and grabs her and bites her on the neck and
starts just flailing her everywhere around there as she tries

(02:46:53):
to shoot it and tells everybody that they need to
kill it, and then it drags her off into the forest,
basically killing her. Right so that is the end of
our friend there, and the other horse, a unicorn, decides
to get up. I keep calling on the horses and
again I apologize it's supposed to be unicorns. It runs
away as Odell gets pissed off and just starts firing everywhere,

(02:47:16):
and the rest of security people start firing too. But
the unicorn comes by and takes you know, the unicorns
out or the humans out. They are the security people
out one by one, leaving Odell and Elliott to run
out of the forest by themselves. And I like the
look because he gives them, like the security guy gives
them binoculars, and he's like looking around in his night

(02:47:36):
vision and he sees the unicorn running out in the distance,
and then all of a sudden, that guy disappears because
he gets taken away by a unicorn, and he goes
up to somebody else, and then he looks again and
sees the unicorn running right towards them, and he doesn't
say anything, He's just like, huh. And then all of
a sudden, the bright light of the unicorn blinds him
for the second as it runs over the guy that

(02:47:58):
is right next to him and kills him. So they
run out of the forest and eventually they get back
to the mansion. Elliott gets that back there right just
a second before Odell does, and Odell of course is
yelling at him and why did he leave, you know,
And of course it's like, well, I'm trying to save
my life and not fucking die. So they run in

(02:48:18):
and as they're closing the gate, that's when the unicorn
busts through at the last minute and approaches them, and
they see that there's actually two unicorns that are there, right,
everybody sees them both, and they have their horns, and
you see one that has the big giant teeth, and
we see that Odell is stuck in between a rock
and a hard place because he's stuck between the two

(02:48:41):
of them. And as they look at him, the horn
of the bigger one starts glowing to makes him believe that, hey,
you know what, everything's going to be fine. It's okay.
You really like me. Look, I'm just a little guy.
You know, I'm not the bad one here. I just
want to know your secrets, and you want to share
your secrets with me. So he looks over it. As

(02:49:03):
the unicorn bends down, he's showing him his glowing horn,
and he's reaching out like, yes, that's it, show me
your secrets, and he goes to touch the unicorn horn,
and when he almost touches it, the light off the
horn turns dim and it stabs him right through the
chin out the top of the head with the horn
and lifts him up into the air, dangling him there

(02:49:25):
as he's basically bleeding him dry, killing Odell. That's there,
So that's one of the family members down. We only
have three left to go, as well as Griff, Batia, Ridley,
and our good old Elliott. And who's gonna survive who's
gonna die? Only the movie knows, but you can probably
guess who it's going to be. So they go back

(02:49:48):
inside and to decide that, you know, they have to
figure out a way out of here. Ridley begins talking
about how they need to give the you know, the
other unicorn back because it happens to be their fond
and the reason why they're attacking and the reason why
they're killing everybody is because they have their baby. And
if we just give them back the baby, everything's going

(02:50:09):
to be okay and they'll get away. And that's when
they come up with the idea about how they're going
to get out there, and we realize that, well, Griff
is probably going to be fucked and that really sucks,
and we realize how much they really know about Griff himself. No, no, no,
put that bat. My dad died for that day. Hey,

(02:50:30):
you cannot go outside. I almost got killed out there.

Speaker 8 (02:50:32):
This is how we stop people from getting killed.

Speaker 14 (02:50:34):
We need to get the baby that everyone needs to
calm down.

Speaker 9 (02:50:39):
We need to take control of the situation.

Speaker 1 (02:50:42):
Yeah, yeah, you're right, Odell.

Speaker 11 (02:50:44):
Do probably hire me to look after you and I
call the pool relaxed.

Speaker 12 (02:50:47):
My dad only brought you on to be the last
line of plausible deniability.

Speaker 1 (02:50:50):
This really isn't the best use sometime, So fine, do
it make the call?

Speaker 4 (02:50:55):
Just give me admitted.

Speaker 3 (02:50:58):
You know so much?

Speaker 14 (02:51:00):
Do they ever catch these things in your draperies? Wait?

Speaker 2 (02:51:05):
Yeah, but the wait, they're doing something by the electrical equipment.

Speaker 17 (02:51:10):
Hello officer, Hello, hello, hello, Wait what happened?

Speaker 1 (02:51:16):
What happened?

Speaker 19 (02:51:17):
The cellular booster uses house power.

Speaker 1 (02:51:21):
I'm trying to grieve in there.

Speaker 11 (02:51:22):
Do you think do you think that there's enough time
to trace the call?

Speaker 1 (02:51:25):
How does tracing work out? Giving your child gate?

Speaker 3 (02:51:29):
The gate is electric.

Speaker 14 (02:51:31):
There's no point in us giving it back if we're
just going to be trapped out there with those things
that killed Hodell.

Speaker 3 (02:51:36):
God damn it, Odine.

Speaker 19 (02:51:38):
Someone has to access the gates Moltar housing in order
to manually open it.

Speaker 16 (02:51:43):
Mom.

Speaker 19 (02:51:44):
So unfortunately, until we do that, no one is driving
out of here.

Speaker 8 (02:51:56):
Then we draw straws.

Speaker 12 (02:51:57):
You're not drawing anything it's only fair.

Speaker 14 (02:52:00):
Well protective parenting aside, I mean, his chance. Really the
best way to decide anything.

Speaker 2 (02:52:05):
Generally not very scientific, No.

Speaker 14 (02:52:07):
Exactly, no, No, First we must ask ourselves who is
most familiar with the gate?

Speaker 12 (02:52:18):
That's right, that's right, because that'd be the person who
has the greatest chance of succeeding.

Speaker 19 (02:52:24):
Right, Yes, hang on a minute. You can't just volunteer
me to go out there.

Speaker 14 (02:52:28):
Years of service and we have never asked anything of
you except this.

Speaker 1 (02:52:32):
Well, that's not true.

Speaker 12 (02:52:33):
And even if it were, we could vote on it.

Speaker 9 (02:52:35):
I vote for griff Second, I vote for not grif
Thank you, as do I.

Speaker 14 (02:52:38):
It's besweety. You're not even twenty one yet, so you.

Speaker 9 (02:52:41):
Know, it's not particularly complicated.

Speaker 11 (02:52:42):
It's not like I'm the fucking gate.

Speaker 12 (02:52:44):
Guy, although in this instance it kind of seems like
you are, though, Right.

Speaker 19 (02:52:49):
Everything I've done for your family and this is my severance.

Speaker 9 (02:52:54):
I have kids, you do? Oh you do?

Speaker 14 (02:52:58):
I knew that.

Speaker 3 (02:53:00):
You are the most familiar with it.

Speaker 12 (02:53:04):
This isn't okay. We voted Griffin. Democracy wins. You get
the gate, we get the car. Now we'll take the
dead one out.

Speaker 1 (02:53:11):
So yeah, poor griff Man, I was really hoping that
nothing would happen to the poor guy, and they're setting
him up for complete and utter fucking failure here. I mean,
I also like the fact that they voted democratically and
that Ridley's vote didn't count at all. You know, they
go automatically and saying I know the person that should

(02:53:32):
be doing and she just shines a light on fucking
Griff and then he looks at him. He's like, what
the hell? This isn't fair and she's like, oh, what
do you mean, Like, you guys, we don't ask you
to do anything for our family, you know, And he's like,
you've asked me to do shit all the time. You
fucking just yell at me and yell my name in
the distance to go out and do this shit. And

(02:53:53):
here I am doing this shit again, and it, you know,
Batia raises a fine point. Don't that really knows how
to do it? Is him? I mean, they could have
just come at that in that angle, which they kind
of did, but they did it in a dick way
in the fact that well, you know, my husband just
died out there. His father is just dead. And instead
of being like, you know, oh so like coming from

(02:54:16):
that angle, look, you're the only reasoning to survive. We've
leaned on you as a family for so many years,
and you have to help us in our time of need,
you know. And then she can't even remember that he
has kids or anybody else. Instead, he's always there just
fucking waiting on them hand and foot, and they don't
do shit, and they just like, oh, oh, yeah, you
have kids. Oh that's right, Yeah, I remember that you

(02:54:37):
have kids. I totally remember that you have kids. Yeah,
you're the asshole, We're not. Yeah, that's the way that
we're going to go at this angle. And so he
has to go outside and open up the gate. And
meanwhile they put the horn inside of this like sealed
tube that's out there, so that way that they have

(02:54:59):
the horn with everything, and they put it with the
the unicorn, and then Griff prepares himself to go on
outside and to face the dangers alone in opening up
the gate. So Ridley's there hands him the you know,
the lantern that he's gonna need, and unfortunately, with a sigh,
he runs outside and gets ready to open the gate

(02:55:20):
just in case, while Batia because they decided, well, somebody
else has to you know, wheel that out there and
they point at her, and even though she's the one
that voted for Griff, she's just like, oh great, So
she rolls out the unicorn. Griff runs through the little
you know, sterilization tubes out to where he needs to
go so that way he can open up the gate,

(02:55:41):
and he tries to sneak be as sneakily as possible.
And then also Elliott, Ridley, the mom, and the shepherd
all run at the same time. And as Ridley looks
at the sky, the lights are extremely bright above them,
up there in the sky. So Tayley owning she's got
to go over and she's got to get the car
and get ready for everything so that they can escape.

(02:56:02):
Batia is setting up the horse out there, and then
all of a sudden, the light that's on the horse,
it starts to flicker and fade away, meaning that the
unicorns are very very very close nearby. Yeah, then all
of a sudden, you know Tia Leoni's character, she runs
over to the house because she needs to get something

(02:56:22):
from it, and Elliott looks at the tube. Well, she
doesn't forget something from the house. She forgets good old
shepherd inside, who's decided to load up a bunch of
the horn inside of a pipe and smoke it, because
you know, if you're gonna just gonna snort the shit,
then you might as well fucking see which ways you
can get high with it as well, and why not
just smoke it in an old corn cob pipe, to

(02:56:44):
which he's at the table that you know, Ridley had
laid a bunch of tapestries out and all the pictures
that she had made, and he starts looking at them
as he gets high on his own supply. Meanwhile, outside
that's where the two unicorns they start to approach Batia,
who has the horse strapped down to the table. And
so it wasn't that they were gonna put the horn

(02:57:05):
with the table. They put the horn in the tube
and then they're gonna take it with them, just giving
the body of the unicorn out to the other unicorns.
Sands said, horn, right, And so Elliott, as you know,
the wife goes into the house, he looks over at
the you know, the tube that's there, and then all
of a sudden it cuts inside to Shepherd smoking out

(02:57:26):
of the corn cob pipe, not knowing what Elliott was
thinking in his head. Meanwhile, the two horses. The two
unicorns keep saying horses, God, damn it. I don't know
why anyway, So the two unicorns go up to the
body and they begin to sniff it, and they get
upset because they're you know, fawn is dead and it's
still lying there on the table and is missing a horn.

(02:57:48):
And Batia tries to reason with it and is like,
there you go. We're terribly sorry. Go ahead and take
your your you know, your child back, and so they
take it off the table somehow, I don't know exactly
how to do it, and they sniff the corpse and
then they look right at Batia and they decide that, okay,
you know what, we've got to do something. Griff is

(02:58:08):
meanwhile trying to open up the gate, and the horse
of the two unicorns have started to approach Batya and
they start, you know, Ridley is yelling at her dad
to help her and figure out what's going on, and
Batiya tad tries to run for the gate and tries
to escape, but unfortunately the two horses or two unicorns
managed to catch her. But she had a bottle of

(02:58:30):
the unicorn horn in her her pants, and before she
runs out of the gate, she drops it, so she
runs and picks it up. Meanwhile, they've disappeared completely, and
so she thinks she's safe, and so she calls him said, Okay,
come on, they're gone, let's go, and then one of
the uncorns runs by and pails her, and then both

(02:58:50):
of the unicorns play tuggowert with her body and rip
her completely in half and fly off the screen. Griff
looks over and says, fuck this shit and gets the
fuck out of there, which bravo, Griff, bravo. I'm so
glad that you're alive and you survived, and you were
the smartest one of everybody. So that's when good old Ridley,

(02:59:13):
Elliott and Tayleoni run back into the house and they
run into Shepherd. Well, Shepherd also is with him, sorry
he ran outside at the same time he runs in
and now with his clear of mind, he realizes what
they must do, because you know, they need to subdue
the two unicorns, and unfortunately he's figured out the secret

(02:59:34):
to subduing them, and in this case, Elliott decides maybe
he needs to grow some balls.

Speaker 8 (02:59:42):
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I thought I understood.

Speaker 1 (02:59:45):
We're not going to defeat them.

Speaker 12 (02:59:46):
In the marketplace of ideas, which is why I did
the work.

Speaker 4 (02:59:48):
I figured out their weakness.

Speaker 1 (02:59:50):
Show all very welcome. Are you gonna share with us?

Speaker 4 (02:59:53):
I visited my research and a recurrent trope in the
medieval discourse, as it were, happens to be that unicorns,
historically speaking, can only be trapped by one thing, and
I think Ridley here knows what that is, A pure
hearted maiden.

Speaker 1 (03:00:07):
Wait, I'm sorry, what are you saying?

Speaker 3 (03:00:09):
I don't know.

Speaker 9 (03:00:10):
How do you come up with these ideas?

Speaker 1 (03:00:11):
Should be research?

Speaker 12 (03:00:14):
That's how I get my ideas.

Speaker 8 (03:00:15):
Mom, he's right, he's right. It's my fault. I misunderstood.

Speaker 16 (03:00:22):
No, no, no, oh honey, No, it's my fault.

Speaker 12 (03:00:24):
It's it's all my fault.

Speaker 8 (03:00:26):
It's one.

Speaker 12 (03:00:34):
We're running out of time, all right. You need to
listen to logic. You need to listen to reason. That
is the only way we were making out of this alive.

Speaker 14 (03:00:46):
You're snorting that ship.

Speaker 12 (03:00:47):
And if we're serious about yes, yes, I am serious
about surviving this thing, then we have to be prepared
to use her as bait. Understand, you were on the wagon.

Speaker 14 (03:00:57):
I thought you were doing so well.

Speaker 12 (03:00:59):
I am doing well. We Linda Ah Elliott there you
are tell her to get ready to make herself useful.
She might have to assume a position or something.

Speaker 17 (03:01:06):
Oh no, sorry, she doesn't work for you, not directly. No, Actually,
you know what, I'm afraid the time has come for
me to tender my resignation.

Speaker 14 (03:01:13):
In our family's hour of need. You call yourself an
a turn?

Speaker 12 (03:01:17):
Do you avows mean nothing in festive luck?

Speaker 16 (03:01:20):
In continued survival?

Speaker 1 (03:01:25):
Yeah, he finally grows some balls to basically just say
I quit. Like you shut it down this a while ago, dude,
Like there's no reason that you should have even been
in this situation that we've got here, while you know,
all you had to do was listen to your daughter. Okay,
I know you're finally realizing it when her life is
going to be put in danger, because we realize that

(03:01:46):
the only way that they're going to be able to
make these unicorns stop is by using your daughter. Because
your daughter supposedly is the pure hearted maiden, whatever the
fuck that means, Like she I don't know, she's just
good with herself. Like there are things that I could say.

(03:02:08):
You know, you could say that, oh, she's a virgin,
so she's pure of heart, or you could say she's
kind hearted, and she's very like truthful, and she's very
you know, outward with herself and cares about everybody else's feelings.
And she's the one. Or it could be that she
touched the unicorn's horn. She tried to actually help the
other unicorn out, and that's the reason why they could

(03:02:30):
think that she's pure of heart, right, Like, she always
has that unicorn, that fond's body, and it's life in
her mind and she has a connection to it. So
she's always trying to get everybody to stop it. Right,
So she's trying to be pure in that way, and
that maybe that's the best way to kind of think
through that whole thing. Meanwhile, you got these two rich

(03:02:51):
assholes over here still trying to figure out how well
Shepherd is. The mother is kind of trying to figure
out just how to survive, it feels like, how to
get out of the situation. Meanwhile, he's like busy getting
high getting off the wagon, as it were, right, because
he's been on the wagon the entire time. But he

(03:03:11):
doesn't really want to, you know, he just wants to
use her. That's all he really wants to do. And
so he goes and snorts more of the unicorn dust
that he's got there and has another epiphany where he
knows exactly what he needs to do in order to,
you know, I don't know, survive, to profit even further

(03:03:32):
from these unicorns. As you know, they're trying to figure
out how to get out of the house. Both Elliott
and Ridley are trying to figure out how to get
out of the house. Shepherd comes by and grabs her
and realizes that he's got to use her some more.
And instead, the unicorns are right outside the door and
they break in, and so mom and son run off
in one direction, being chased by one unicorn, being chased

(03:03:54):
by the dad. And we have Elliott and Ridley going
upstairs into the bedroom where has been and then locking
themselves away in there, being chased by the other unicorn.
So they're all kind of like spread out amongst the
house and you know, trying to figure out exactly how
to live, how to get away from these two unicorns
that are hell bent on killing them all inside of

(03:04:17):
this house. So while they're busy hiding and trying to
get away from the unicorn, that's when Sheppard has the
bright idea of what he really wants to do with
the unicorns, using Ridley to subdue them and then of
course making them make babies for him.

Speaker 12 (03:04:35):
I think, oh man, griff did find my bow. Now
I feel.

Speaker 9 (03:04:42):
Bad and this is the end.

Speaker 12 (03:04:44):
Baby, I need to think. Okay, And if I filed
off a little bit more of this one.

Speaker 9 (03:04:52):
Your dad's oxygen. Can we blow it up with this thing?

Speaker 12 (03:04:57):
Yes, pressurized auction is flammable and if it can busts
and that we'll explode.

Speaker 6 (03:05:00):
But that's you.

Speaker 3 (03:05:03):
You don't know that.

Speaker 12 (03:05:04):
You don't get it, mom, This is inside my brain.
It's firing my shit up. I'm a genius. Now, Okay,
that'll destroy our goal against We don't mean to do
that because.

Speaker 7 (03:05:14):
I want a goose farm.

Speaker 26 (03:05:16):
So they'll come to her and then look in this
and then we pen them in and we force them
to breed. Then there'll be ours shit is this shit?

Speaker 4 (03:05:33):
So?

Speaker 1 (03:05:34):
I do like the scenes that lead up to this
little scene that we've got here where the unicorns are
kind of stalking through the house for a little bit.
But this is definitely one of the negatives that I
have for this movie, and it has to deal with
the budget of this movie. Ultimately, is what it is
is that when you finally get a really good look
at the unicorns, they don't quite fit within the movie, right.

(03:05:57):
They're definitely cgi and that's what you're going to get
with these And while the designs of the unicorns look good.
I love the way the horns look. I really like
the way that the you know, the teeth are and
how they're dark colored in the movie as they're stalking around.
It's not just that it's at night when they attack
whenever it happens in this movie. It's that, you know,

(03:06:20):
they they really have like a menacing look to them
as they're trying to get revenge for their baby in
these scenes, but they do feel out of place, like
it's a much cheaper movie with a really terrible green screen,
right that it's been superimposed in just a terrible way

(03:06:41):
as they walk around the house. While the scenes are
fine in terms of the way they're shot and how
they're building up the tension and how you know, it's
slowly looking around every corner as Elliott is peeking through
the doorway to see exactly where the unicorn is, and
the lights are flashing because they're affecting the electric that's
in the area. Even though the lights have been completely

(03:07:03):
turned out, they've cut the electricity the old place, it
still gets that effect with it right where you their
powers are dampening everything that's around them, and so you
have these great things, but then you have this cgi
figure that just doesn't fit and it doesn't feel right.
The scene feels right, but the monster in the scene doesn't.

(03:07:27):
And that that hads to be my biggest complaint with it,
because while we got these other great little scenes, these
these fun kills and bloody kills, and they look great
when you see them for it being cg right, but
they don't fit and they just feel like it was done.
And then they didn't have the money to completely blend

(03:07:49):
it right. They spent more on actually creating this interesting
looking scene, Like here's my idea, how we're gonna kill
this girl. You know, she's gonna get stabbed and thrown
around a little bit, and then she is going to
be completely torn apart as the unicorns like run in
opposite directions away from each other once they've killed her.
By doing that, it's great. I love the thought process

(03:08:12):
into it and the best looking kill in terms of
it actually feeling like it's a part of the scene
happens to be with Odell, the senior most member of
the family, when he gets the horn stuck through his head,
because it feels like a practical effect of him being
there and being lifted up into the air. And then

(03:08:32):
you add the CG of the horn and stuff like that,
and there might be some practical stuff that's going with
him that he's having to hold on to, whether it's
actually the horn that's there and the prosthetics to do
the horn through the face, and then it's just adding
in the horse, you know, the unicorn afterwards, like that stuff.
It looks the best. But even the little scene where

(03:08:56):
you know, the doctor gets you know, stabbed with the
unicorn horn through and you get to see the reveal
of it, it doesn't feel like it's in place. Even
the fun scene where you know, Elliott's having to walk
around the car very slowly as the unicorn is behind
it and is like stalking him. It just even though
it's doing this kind of tilt shift thing, so you

(03:09:17):
don't get a complete view of it. Whenever it's on there,
it feels like an older version of the CG. Right.
Maybe on a big screen it might look a little better,
but on the small screen it just feels out of place,
completely out of place. It while it still remains fun
and entertaining, that can take some people out of the movie.

(03:09:40):
If that's like a big focus for you, you know me,
I tend to watch a lot of bad horror movies
and in some really big budget but cheap budget like
major releases, CGI can be terrible in it, and I've
just become accustomed to it, so it doesn't take me
out of the movie stuff that's going on and the
you know, the good things there, but it definitely does

(03:10:02):
hurt some of the enjoyment of the stuff that's having there.
And I can assume that with some people they're gonna
be totally thrown off by it, and it's totally going
to be well, I just don't like it. I can't
deal with the unicorns in this movie because they just
don't look good or they don't look good enough. Right,
So Elliott, you know, and Ridley, they're now holed up

(03:10:25):
upstairs as the female unicorn is slowly stalking them, and
downstairs Tayleoni and Shephard have realized after he's trying to
go get some more unicorn horn because he needs to
snort some more of that shit to have more ideas
what's going on there. They realize when they open up
the container the horn is gone. The horn is missing completely.

(03:10:46):
So who has the horn? Well, I'm I'm pretty sure
that you know who has it.

Speaker 9 (03:10:56):
You don't understand.

Speaker 5 (03:11:03):
I think I made a mistake.

Speaker 8 (03:11:14):
What the fuck were you thinking?

Speaker 1 (03:11:15):
I don't know. I was afraid we get nothing that
to us.

Speaker 12 (03:11:19):
Because I promised her.

Speaker 5 (03:11:23):
I sat in that hospital room and I swore to
her that I would do whatever I had to to
take care of you, to make sure that you didn't
want for anything.

Speaker 6 (03:11:32):
And that's on me.

Speaker 16 (03:11:34):
Every decision, every day.

Speaker 15 (03:11:37):
But I failed you both, and you don't seem to
need the things I thought I was giving you.

Speaker 12 (03:11:41):
So.

Speaker 16 (03:11:43):
Actually maybe they were just for me after all.

Speaker 9 (03:11:48):
Either way, I I'm sorry.

Speaker 3 (03:11:52):
I'm the one ye're stuck with.

Speaker 1 (03:11:54):
This is the best scene that Paul Rudd does in
this movie, right, And I've seen some complaints about him,
and I can kind of understand it because it feels
like it's sometimes like he maybe kind of phoned it in.
But then again, I feel like this is a Paul
Rudd performance, Like this is a lot of the stuff
that he's done in a lot of movies, and there's

(03:12:14):
a lot of times where he's a lot more you know, animated,
and the humor that he brings in when especially he
doesn't have to be as reserved where I feel a
lot of it for me personally, is just the character
that's this character. And I think he plays his character well.
I think he plays it. It's good. It's a good performance.
Is it great?

Speaker 23 (03:12:34):
No?

Speaker 1 (03:12:35):
And a lot of people complain about the relationship between
you know, Ridley and Elliott, and that I don't understand
because I think their relationship is the best thing that
is in this movie. Just like I said at the
beginning of the podcast, right so here, this really showcases
that this is a trophy scene. This is he's stolen
the horn. He's taking responsibility for what he's done. He's

(03:12:58):
put his daughter in this place, and really he feels
like the unicorns are going after him because he still
has the horn of the Fawn, right, and that he
took it and he didn't know what to do, and
he the reason that he ended up taking it was
because he wanted to ensure that his daughter was still
well taken care of. But if he just listened. Maybe
they could have just gotten away and the other two

(03:13:20):
would get what they deserve and then you know they
would figure out what to do with the fawn, right, So,
and I keep wanting to say the fawns the entire time,
Like the unicorn is gonna get up somehow, get a lie,
put on a leather jacket, go over to a jukebox,
hit it and go ay. If you don't get that reference,
you are a lot younger than me. But nonetheless, so

(03:13:45):
the unicorn fonts. That shit just makes me fucking laugh
the entire time, Like in the back of my head.
I've had to re record this a couple of times
because I'm just laughing at the idea of this unicorn
standing there in the leather jacket and then has the
slick back black hair, and it decides to get on
the motorcycle and it can't quite do it because it
can't stand on its hide and legs and sit down properly,

(03:14:07):
and then it crashes into the middle like a park
car somewhere gets up and it's nay, I'm a fucking idiot. Nay. Anyway,

(03:14:30):
I love cracking myself up with stupid shit sometimes. But anyway,
so he gives her a big hug and then you know,
he decides to make the sacrifice for her where he
kind of pushes her out of the way and there,
you know, because they're gonna make a run for it,
and then he distracts the unicorn so that you know,
she can get the fuck out of there, and the
unicorn is going to chase him down. Meanwhile, good old

(03:14:53):
Tayleione over here, she decides to try to reason with
her son and get out of the library or the
wine cellar, because they went downstairs to where it is,
realizing that maybe they have a chance now to get
out of there, and so good old Shepherd he's got
his bow that Griff found. She grabs the you know,
the oxygen tank that's there, because if they need to

(03:15:14):
get out, that's the best way to do it. Have
the oxygen tank ready, blow up the oxygen tank, and
hopefully get the hell out of there. So she walks
over to a wall and she goes to listen to
hear if there's something there on the other side, and
unfortunately for her, there definitely is something there and it
happens to be a unicorn that grabs her and pulls

(03:15:34):
her through the wall after you know it destroys the
wall directly, she grabs the oxygen tank and then it
throws her onto the pool table. Meanwhile, Shepherd takes off
his other shoe and throws it out there, because at
one point when they're trying to get away, he uses
his shoe to distract it so they can grab the
stuff and go. And so she's there lying on the

(03:15:55):
pool table the you know, the unicorn is coming towards her.
She turns on the gas for the you know, the
oxygen tank after trying to bat it away with a
pool que and begs her son to shoot it to
kill the unicorn and to stop it, but of course
not he doesn't shoot at all, and then the unicorn
disembowels her. He just goes into her stomach and starts

(03:16:18):
pulling out her guts all over the pool table, ultimately
killing her. And you know, there's something that I'm going
to say about these deaths in this movie that you
might have picked up on, but definitely it took me
like because I was trying to figure out other things
going on in the story, so I didn't realize what

(03:16:39):
exactly was correlating with the deaths that were happening in
the movie, so Sheppard and I should note too that
he does create like a flaming arrow. For a second,
he wraps a piece of you know, fabric around the
end of the arrow tip lights it on fire, and
then he's about to fire, but he chooses not to
because he wants to, you know, breathe the unicorns and

(03:16:59):
create an empire out of the pharmaceuticals for this and
have a whole flock of unicorns there. So we go
back and we see that now that good old Elliott
is sacrificing himself for his daughter and is running away
with the unicorn horn around the hallways as it now
has turned into the morning, and Ridley has escaped outside,

(03:17:21):
so she runs outside. She runs to the front of
the house, thinking that she's gonna find her dad and
hopefully that he's got away. And who does she run
to but good old Shepherd, and Shepherd is there and
holds her at bow point. He pulls back the arrow,
points it at her and says, we're going to use
you and brings her to the front of the house
where he can lure out the unicorns in the forest.

(03:17:44):
Elliott is still running from the female unicorn who is
slowly catching up to him, should have caught up to
him already. I mean Elliott, I guess maybe get a
little blood in his eyes. Also managed to give him
the lungs of a twenty year old, and he's able
to run as fast as he possibly can away from
this unicorn, even though it's managed to catch up and
be pretty quick with everybody else that's out there. So

(03:18:06):
the male unicorn then slowly walks out of the house,
and this is probably the best cgi that happens in
the whole movie. It still feels a little out of place,
but you get a better look at the unicorn, and
when you're focused mostly on it, it doesn't feel like
it's that much. And you see the hoofs coming down
in the giant claws and the end the hoofs. But
then the moment the unicorn is walking down the stairs,

(03:18:28):
it feels like it's out of place as it's doing
its big like ah type of things at her. And
this is where you should the shot from the poster
where she's looking up at the unicorn and the unicorn
has its big old mouth right in front of her
and it's like snarling and everything. There's blood all over
its teeth and then as it's you know, sniffing her,

(03:18:49):
then all of a sudden, it stops. It just becomes
completely docile and lays down right next to her and
lays its head on her lap to where she just
starts petting it, and because she's the pure hard maiden,
it's managed to calm the big beast down. So Shepherd

(03:19:11):
runs over there and decides to start tying up its legs,
and that's when the second unicorn comes over with Elliott,
and the same thing happens with that one, and Elliott
again finds his balls and finally puts an end to
Shepherd and the rest of the Odell line.

Speaker 6 (03:19:30):
I fucking it.

Speaker 9 (03:19:32):
I'm the businessman now, dady.

Speaker 8 (03:19:36):
Okay, you proved everyone wrong. Now can you please please
just let me go?

Speaker 26 (03:19:41):
Please?

Speaker 21 (03:19:53):
That's futures, Elliott fifty, you earn this.

Speaker 9 (03:19:58):
Huh good job, partner, Hey, yeah, but that job.

Speaker 4 (03:20:37):
We'll finish nine these things up getting locked away pretty
stup for the same Monday.

Speaker 12 (03:20:42):
It's what to do, but there is not, Elliott.

Speaker 1 (03:20:46):
We'll hold it forever. So Elliott looks down at his
daughter and sees the two unicorns that are lying there,
and he's just absolutely amazed as they become completely docile,
and you know, Shepherd's running over there and tying his
the other legs up. He's already tied the other unicorns
hooves together, and so he's tying these two hooves together,

(03:21:06):
gets the front ones done, and then he goes to
the back hooves as he continues to talk to Elliott,
and Elliott just looks over at his daughter, who's about
to cry right and thinking that is he really gonna
do what I think he's going to do. Shepherd is
also thinking the same thing as he continues to talk
to Elliott like he's his employee, and he's like, we're
gonna be rich, don't worry about it, you know, doing

(03:21:27):
all this song and dance. And then Elliott looks down
at his daughter one last time, walks over slowly to Shepherd,
and then he takes the unicorn horn and stabs Shepherd
right in the fucking stomach, ultimately sending him to his
demise right, but unfortunately, Shepherd still has the arrow from
his bow and then also stabs port Elliott in the stomach.

(03:21:51):
So Elliott trips over, you know, stumbles, stumble, falls a
little bit, and falls back against one of the potted
plants that's back there, and he's slowly bleeding out to death. Meanwhile,
you know, a shepherd gets up and he's about to
bring cockback the bow once again and fire it over
both at Ridley and you know Elliott to finish the job.

(03:22:13):
But oh no, of course that one manages to get up.
The female managed to get because she's not completely tied down.
She stands up and then he basically says, oh shit
as it kicks him square in the face, ultimately killing shepherd.
So as now we have Ridley standing over her dad's

(03:22:34):
body as he's slowly, you know, the life is fading
from his eyes, and they have one heartfelt moment before
poor Elliott passes away.

Speaker 9 (03:22:43):
We need to get you home.

Speaker 8 (03:22:44):
It's okay out hey.

Speaker 3 (03:22:47):
Tell me, tell me please?

Speaker 12 (03:22:52):
What did they show you up?

Speaker 1 (03:22:56):
I don't know.

Speaker 8 (03:22:59):
I was standing the road with you, and I was
swept up in some kind of current. It was like
a river, and it was taking me somewhere. And even
though I didn't know what I would find when I

(03:23:19):
got there, I wasn't afraid.

Speaker 3 (03:23:25):
Because I had this sense.

Speaker 8 (03:23:28):
This feeling in the darkness that they were showing me
where they came from, but not just them, us too.
I think that's where we've always been, adding back to
where Ward and Wall was already waiting, and I realized

(03:23:52):
that we don't have to worry about what we didn't
figure out what we were here.

Speaker 24 (03:24:07):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (03:24:07):
I wasn't there for very long. I hope you're right,
maybe waiting.

Speaker 1 (03:24:27):
So Elliott dies, and of course the audience is sad,
and it's a touching scene for what it is. And
I like the idea of exactly explaining to her best
like intentions on how she can explain it right, exactly
what she saw, like the basically universe, the creation of everything,

(03:24:49):
kind of like what I explained in the beginning, but
that it was where we all started and where we'll
all end, right, like some type of weird oroboros type
of thing where the serpent's eating itself and it's just infinity,
and eventually we're going to go back to this place.
And I like the line too that he says, hopefully
I'll be there for everything that he's done right, because
of everything that he did to the unicorns and everything

(03:25:11):
that you know, he hasn't done right in his life,
because he feels like he's failed his daughter, even though
he promised that he would protect her and he provide
for her and she wouldn't have to want for anything.
And now they're stuck in this situation, or they were
stuck in this situation. So the two unicorns they do
manage to get up and they look over him, and
they look over their you know, their child that's there

(03:25:34):
as well as Ridley, and they grab his body and
drag them you know, him over to where the fawn
is and then place the horn over there as well,
and they start working their unicorn magic, right, and so
while they're working their unicorn magic that's there, then all
of a sudden, the horn is reattached to the head

(03:25:55):
of the fawn and we see that Elliott he starts
to rise up and then he ends up grabbing the
horns as well, and he's taken to the same place
that Ridley was taken to. So Elliott he does survive.
He's brought back to life by the unicorns. And there's
a lot of interpretations that go on here, but I

(03:26:16):
think the best one that you can kind of think
of when it is is because they saw the selfless
act of him actually, you know, defending and killing the
person that did this to their fawn, not necessarily you
know that they hit the fawn or anything like that,
but kind of redeeming himself in their eyes. So they
decide to reward that by bringing him back to life.

(03:26:39):
Now I said I would explain to the whole death
thing that happened in this movie, and instead of waiting
for after the credits and everything like that, the thing
is about all the deaths that happen in this movie
are also on all the tapestries that were recreated. When
they show that giant scene of all the different and

(03:27:00):
all the different kills that they had, they're exactly the
same kills that happened in this movie. So you have
the people that there's one more that hasn't happened though,
And so this is where the ending I feel is
left up to interpretation in the way that it is.
But we have the disemboweling that is seen up there
where the guy is drawn in half and like his

(03:27:22):
guts are hanging out and everything like that. So we
have that with the mom. We have the dude getting
kicked in the face. We have the dude that is
impaled through the head. So the dad, the son the
mom thos the ones we have. There's the one too
where the person's being ripped in half that is Bati,
and then you know, except for really the doctor that
gets stabbed, that one doesn't I don't know if there's

(03:27:45):
one on there. I think there was one on there
for that, as well as the person that gets like
dragged away, right, but pretty much the family dies in
the way, and they're supposed to be the people that
we're holding the unicorn hostage that the other unicorns were
coming to kill, and the only one that wasn't having
anything done to her happened to be the peer maiden

(03:28:05):
that was in the tapestries that were there. So it's neat.
I like how they connected that stuff together, and I
like how we got to see all that kind of
done in real time. And I'm very surprised that the
gore was the way it was with it even though
it's done in CGI. If it wasn't it was a
little more practical, I'm pretty sure that people would be

(03:28:25):
maybe a little more happy with it. But I think
that it's pretty good and it's definitely a lot more
intense than I intended this movie to be, because I
really felt that it was just gonna be like the
language and some of the other stuff, maybe intenseness of
some of the scenes that they do, or the quote
unquote adult content that you know, Max or HBO Max
where the fuck this platform wants to call itself? Says

(03:28:48):
that it hasn't it why it's rated TV? M A,
it's weird, isn't it? Like the movie will be rated
R when it goes into theaters, but then when it's
on a streaming service it's rated like it's TV. So
it has been brought back to life, and he hugs
his daughter and the unicorns, along with the now resurrected fawn.
They are starting to run away, and as they run away,

(03:29:11):
their colors for both the mother and father, who have
been like grayish black the entire movie, start to get
lighter as they move away, now that the faun has
been resurrected, right, so you can see it as the
faun is like coming back to life, and as Elliott
is backing away from the whole thing, the colors in

(03:29:32):
them become white completely, and it's like they're getting the
evil out of their system. For the fact that their
kid was kidnapped and the whole thing about them going
after it for revenge was basically to get that back.
And now they've been turned back into the good creatures
that we know and love, and the white colored creatures

(03:29:54):
that were used to seeing. So father and daughter they
embrace now that Elliott is back alive and everything's been
solved and everybody's happy. And then who decides to show up?
Why it's good old Griff with the cops. So Griff
shows up with the cops to lead them to what's
going on here, and the cop looks over and they're

(03:30:17):
like oh. And Elliott looks back and there's the body
of Griff dead, just lying there, and they're like, ah shit.
So the cops arrests Ridley and Elliott and stick them
in back of the cop car as they drive away
off into the sunset. So the movie itself the way
that it ends, and like I said, we'll talk about

(03:30:38):
it when we come back from the ending of everything
that's going on here, but it is open to interpretation.
And there's a couple of ideas even that I have
and what maybe I believe might have actually happened, but
we'll have to see. As you know, it's really open
to you. So the car's driving off. There is one
last conversation between Elliott and Ridley and basically them expressing

(03:31:03):
their love for each other and him telling her that,
you know, he saw mom too, even though you know
so she's not crazy, and he went to the same place.
And as you know, Griff is following behind in his car.
As the cop is driving off with them in the
back seat, all of a sudden, we see the unicorns
running in the distance, and they get onto the road

(03:31:24):
and they start running alongside Griff to where he like
looks at them and he's like, oh shit, sorry, and
he rolls up the window really fast and they run
by Griff and they go over to the cop car
and the cop actually sees the unicorns and she's amazed
by them as well. And then Elliott looks out the window,
sees the female's eyes looks directly into it, and then

(03:31:46):
looks over it Ridley and says, okay, you know, not
necessary says, but like the look and the eyes basically
are saying like, hey, we need to prep for it.
So they put on their seatbelts, they duck in the
back seat. The unicorns then hit the car, and the
last thing that we hear we don't actually see the
unicorns hit the car, but we hear the collision and

(03:32:08):
then the car crash and the movie just ends at
that point, real bloodbath.

Speaker 8 (03:32:14):
I believe Old Ranch Chief bringing survivors in for statements,
but I got a feel and you're not gonna believe them.

Speaker 1 (03:32:19):
Well, then that would make the suspects.

Speaker 12 (03:32:21):
Moore Roger that.

Speaker 1 (03:32:25):
You two better have a good lawyer.

Speaker 10 (03:32:49):
I know this weekend didn't go how you wanted it
to and all, but wherever they take is, we're gonna
be okay.

Speaker 3 (03:33:05):
I know.

Speaker 9 (03:33:09):
I saw it.

Speaker 1 (03:33:10):
Do what the and so that was Death of a Unicorn.

(03:35:18):
So it even though it is kind of left up
to interpretation, I did find an article where it said that, no,
it's not really meant for a bunch of theories. It's
just the way the movie was kind of supposed to end.
So there's a couple of things that you can think
of with it. Some people have kind of thought that
it was like, you know, it's a death and rebirth

(03:35:39):
type of thing that's going on here, that they just
were going out there, you know, and they decided that
killing them was the best wayte like that. They theorized
that the unicorns end up killing them, right, because that's
honestly what's happening there.

Speaker 3 (03:35:55):
Is.

Speaker 1 (03:35:55):
The last piece of the tapestry that I didn't talk
about was the unicorn hitting the one carriage into the
river or off a cliff or whatever, and that's exactly
what the unicorns are doing here. So one could say
that they're getting their revenge on them because they were
the ones that actually hit the fawn and quote unquote

(03:36:15):
killed it and started the whole thing in the first place, right,
and now we're gonna take our last little bit of revenge.
But they're in white, so you could say that that's
not necessarily it. The other thing is that they're killing
them and they're sending them to the afterlife because instead
of going to prison, that's the best place from the go,
and so it's a mercy killing, is what it was,
so they're not, you know, trapped. The other things could

(03:36:37):
be that they're gonna resurrect them after everything is done,
and you know, that's a way for them to get
out of prison time, because it's better for them to
kill them, kill the cop, kill them, bring them back
to life, and then allow them to go free instead
of them spending the rest of the lives in prison,
but at the same time, the cop in the car
is seeing the goddamn unicorns, so it'd be like, you're

(03:36:58):
not gonna believe me, And now I'm believe them because
I saw the fucking unicorns too, So I don't think
they would have spent any time in prison necessarily unless
somebody said, oh, well, the CoP's crazy too, and they're
very rich people. So of course, again money is power,
and you're killing these really rich people and unicorns. Okay,
so the cops working for you and just doesn't want

(03:37:18):
to get any you know, time as well, so that's
one thing, you know. The But the director himself did
confirm that the unicorns crashed the police car with benevolent
intent thanks to their ongoing permanent connection to Elliot and Ridley,
and that the creatures want to help the father dob
Dudo express escape prison time, even that means killing them

(03:37:40):
both and bring them back to life. Whereas the cycle
of birth, death and rebirth might not make logical sense
and death of Unicorn, but it does create an emotional
touchdown Elliot Ridley learned not to fight life's great mysteries,
but instead to cling to each other in whatever turmoil results.
So basically that yeah, okay, so it's kind of that

(03:38:02):
theory of death and rebirth, whether or not they bring
them back to life, it's that this is definitely with
benevolent intent, according to the director himself. Right, So we
can all get on that train. But there are a
lot of interesting theories that you can read up on
what people think about the ending of the movie and
what it aptly actually represents, and sometimes it's a lot
more fun to get to those theories than anything else.

(03:38:25):
Me I kind of thought it was like, oh, well,
you know, we were nice in giving you this one
last moment together, and now you guys will both die
and you know because of what you did to our
funt like, I like that one better. It would have
been nice if they were dark colored, but since they're
light colored, I kind of have to go with the
whole thing that this is. Yeah, this is meant for
them to help them and to help them escape from

(03:38:46):
being arrested because now they have this connection because you know,
Ridley has touched the horn and now Elliott has also
done the same thing. So they've experienced the wonders of
the world from or the wonders of the universe from
the Korns themselves. So this is the movie good. I
really enjoyed this movie. I think that it's a good movie.

(03:39:07):
It's not a great movie, and it's hurt by a
couple of different things, especially when it comes to the rating.
The biggest thing is going to be the CGI, because
even the CGI at the end of the movie, you know,
that's one of your like big opus pieces of them
running by and the side of the road, they still
look like they're out of place or that everything is CGI,
but the cars aren't, and the cars look way out

(03:39:28):
of place. So it's it's kind of a weird situation
that we got going here, and I wish we would
have actually seen them like hit the car and the
car fly off the edge, but instead it cuts the black.
But that's just the ending of the movie. The story
is just okay. It's not the best in the world, right,
if you're gonna break it down to that, it's just
it's very tropy. It relies on a lot of tropes,

(03:39:51):
but it does have good humor in it. I think
this is a very funny movie, and I know that
I'm probably gonna be like, you know, shot for this
or or p are going to dislike my take on
this thing. But I also recently saw Happy Gilmore two,
and I laughed more in this movie than I laughed
in Happy Gilmore Too. I think I chuckled maybe twice.

(03:40:11):
Like that was just to me. It was not a
good movie at all, and it was really lazy. And
then I watched this, and this felt like a breath
of fresh air, even though it's super trophy. But the
comedy that works in this, and again it's not laugh
out loud like meant to make you like this specifically
is a comedic thing, and you will laugh at this.

(03:40:31):
It's not trying to do that with you. It's more
situational humor, and the things that happen around it are
really funny or it's a line here, a line there
that catches you off guard and makes you laugh at
things directly. Right, So I did really enjoy this movie,
and it may be because Happy Gilmore Too was such

(03:40:52):
a disappointment to me. But I didn't expect much out
of that movie and it still let me down. So
I don't know what to think about that. So, but
when it comes to this, it's still it's just held
back mostly by story. And then the bad CGI does
affect it some into some extent, like the car crash

(03:41:13):
in the beginning of the movie. It doesn't look the
best in the world, you know, and the car looks
really really out of place, and I you know, saw
some things online people kind of complaining saying the direction
wasn't quite there where it need to be. Mostly critics
and yeah, but I think for a first film, this
is a pretty good movie to start off being your

(03:41:33):
first film. And I feel like the dude was really
held back, I want to say, by the studios and
by the producers of the movie, where they could have
done more with this, I think in my mind than
anything else. But I think maybe gone a little more
over the top of things. But you're also restricted by
budget and when they're trying to create a relatively high

(03:41:55):
budget movie, especially when you're promoting this with jennat Ortega,
who is the it girl right now now for a
lot of things out there and for a lot of people,
it's hard to you know, have this movie and have
it set so that you know you're you're gonna win.
But it's such a low budget movie for something that is,
you know, being advertised with a high budget type of

(03:42:19):
advertisement because of actors that are in this movie. Now,
is Paul Rudd great one hundred percent of the time
of this movie. No, but when it counts, he is great.
And I love that last little scene, and I love
the beginning scenes with them, and I wish there was
more of those type of scenes between the father and
daughter to emphasize that relationship between the two of them.

(03:42:41):
And I wish that there was a scene where, you know,
in which you kind of get at the end, but
I wish there was more in depth one whereas like
you know, I don't forget these things and they hurt
every time I remember them about your mother, and I
try to push them away so that way I can
be stronger for you, like that's super trophy. But I
think this movie could have benefited from something like that

(03:43:02):
and to give you a stronger relationship. And again, I
think the people that say that that relationship is not
very good between them, in my opinion, okay, that's your
opinion too, but I think that it's better than you
give it credit for. I'm not gonna say that your
opinion is wrong because that's your opinion and it's not
the way of the world. Same than critics. I guess

(03:43:24):
I'm a fucking critic when it comes to these things.
But for this movie, I felt that that was really good.
And again, all the other actors and actresses were fine.
And yeah, maybe the accent or the way that Tailor
Leone played her character with the jajagabor type thing that
might wane on some people, it works for me personally,
and I think that she did a great job. I

(03:43:46):
definitely definitely think that Shepherd was spot on right. I
think that you know, you have Will Poulter in this role,
and I think that he's excellent in this role. I
fucking love Griff to goddamn deaf. He is my favorite
fucking character in this movie. Anthony Kerrigan is fantastic. I'm
kind of interested to see how he plays Calypso and

(03:44:06):
twists and metal, but it's not gonna be anything like this, right,
I don't expect that to be this type of movie
that we've got going on over there. For a TV
series based upon a video game about people in cars
blowing up other people in cars to get a wish,
I just don't see that being a theatrical or acting masterpiece.
But I think that he's a good actor. I think

(03:44:28):
that in this role he was excellent. I do think that, like,
you know, doctor Batia, Yeah, not the best character in
the world, but she sufficed. Doctor Song, same thing, and look,
I finally remembered his goddamn name. He was fine for
what it was. And then the other like people that
were there, the you know, the soldier people and those things,

(03:44:51):
EH don't really care. You know, they're not important enough
to the movie. They're not important enough to me. It
was fine for what it was. H And I think
that they played to the characters well. So I think
that the characters were written well enough to suffice and
to get good performances out of their actors. I just
feel that the story just lacks quite a bit. So

(03:45:14):
that's why when rating this movie, I'll just jump to
this one first that I don't normally do so I
don't have to repeat myself. The crap factor for this
movie is a three out of five. I think that
it needs some improvements to make it a much better movie.
And it has so much potential. I've heard that a
lot from Like there's people that I watch when they
talk like they want tips on how to be better

(03:45:35):
at this or better at that. And people kind of
review and critique them. They're like, you have a lot
of potential. You just you know, you have the aiming
skills of a squirrel like those types of things. I'm
not that harsh, you know, but those videos are meant
to be roast videos at the same time. That's there,
but you know, you can see potential when you see it.
And I definitely think that, you know, with this movie

(03:46:00):
director Alex Sharman, and even you know he did write
the movie as well, if I did not mention that
at all, I think he has a lot of potential
to do some really great things. And I think as
he's given bigger budgets and he's given a lot more
freedom to do what exactly wants, and maybe he had
a ton of freedom and he decided to, like for
my first release, I want to tone it down just
a little bit. Maybe if he goes a little more

(03:46:22):
over the top, then everything's gonna be great again. This
is an a twenty four movie, So this is one
of those movies where it's really going to be You're
either gonna really love it or you're gonna really hate it.
And that's the way I feel with a lot of
the films that they do, and this is a film
that I do really love it. Maybe he's a bad
thing like it, or you're gonna hate it. Right, you

(03:46:43):
could love it, but you're either gonna like it or
you hate it. And I really like this movie. I'm
almost out of love, but I'm not quite there. The
gore in this movie is a four out of five
because when it does have gore, it's gory. It's good.
It's cgi, but it is good. It just the way
it looks on feels out of place, even though the
effect is relatively good. And like I said, the best

(03:47:05):
one is for Odell when he dies and realize that
it's the Leopolds. I don't know why to say the Odell's,
but the Leopolds, when you know with Odell Leopold, when
he gets his that's the best one that fits the
scenes the best. I do like to even though it's
not really gory, and I wish it was a little

(03:47:26):
gorrier for what it was. But when Shepherd gets his
kick to the face, I that's like it. It's pretty
good too, in the way that I like the way
that he lands and he kind of skids across the ground.
But I wish his face was a little more messed
up or had like a you know, a horse hoof
or something like that. But they're not wearing horse shoes,
so you know, it's just the way that it's going

(03:47:46):
to be so fun. Factor four out of five. I
think this movie's fun. I think you're gonna have a
good time. I think there are points in it where
you have to kind of turn off your brain just
a little bit. And you know, that's where my like
the critics side that when I think about it and
when I get to my final rating, that's where it
does dock in a point. But I always like to
include fun for people that don't know why I include

(03:48:08):
fun because it can be a bad movie, but you
can have a ton of fun in it. But the
critic side of me gives it the final score. So
this is more like in some cases, this is like
the fans side of me, you know, to say that, oh,
as just somebody that's watching it to watch it. It's
fun and it's pretty it's pretty fun. I like the performances.
I like the relationship between Ridley and Elliott. I really

(03:48:30):
like Jenna or taking this movie. I think she's excellent
in this movie. I think Paul Rudd does a really
good job in this movie. I think that you know, again,
Will Poulter is absolutely fantastic in this movie. And even
going through this the third time by listening to it,
I realize how much I like the character and how
much I like the acting that he does for the character.
It's like spot on for what it needs to be.

(03:48:52):
And the guy has really good comedic timing and it
works really well in this movie where he doesn't have
to do the slapstick stuff and be the over to
the time like comedic guy for the movie. I think
he does a very good job in this and so
overall this is gonna get a three out of five
Unicorn Dix. So I think that it's good. I think
that it's worth a watch if you're interested in watching it.

(03:49:14):
If you listen to this and you didn't see the
movie and you went all the way through and you're like, huh,
maybe from what I've heard and what I've talked about,
I kind of like it, and so I'll give it
a watch, and I think it's worth your time. So
that's it for this episode of this Terrible Terror podcast
that's went on for two goddamn long, and I need
to start figuring out how to make these much shorter
than what they are. And I'm probably ranting a lot

(03:49:35):
more than I have to, where I just need to
make things a Lockmark sixcinct in everything that's there. But
I appreciate you guys that stick through it and stick
with it all the way to the end of the
episode and then you know, hit me up and doing.
Because I'm thinking about October, I do want to throw
this out there now if anybody has any idea for
October movies for a film series, because I always do

(03:49:55):
four in October, sometimes five, I hope not five this year,
hopefully only for and I'd like to do different ones
in different themes or movies I haven't seen, or like,
you know, if we're doing a series, like if I'm
doing Friday the thirteenth, let's say for Halloween, then I
would focus on the movies I have not talked about yet, right,

(03:50:15):
so you wouldn't get you know, Jason X, and you
wouldn't get Jason goes to you know, on a boat
aka Jadson goes to Manhattan, like those movies I would
not do or the final chapter or whichever the fifth
one was New Beginning or whatever the fuck it was called. Like,
I would not do those movies, but I'd look at
the other Friday thirteenth movies, same thing with a Nightmare

(03:50:36):
on Elm Street where we look to a Nightmare on
Elm Street too. Maybe I would look at some of
the other ones you know that are out there and
we can do those like that type of thing. So
if you have any suggestions, let me know. Best place
for to let me know is of course, on Instagram.
If you have an Instagram that is Terrible Terror podcast

there should be I'm gonna go see nine Inch Nails

(03:50:59):
and Weird Al So should be some stuff up from
both of the shows that I'm gonna take pictures and
maybe a little bit of video or something like that.
I haven't seen nine Snails in forever. I'm so excited
to go see those guys again. I love Trent Reznor.
He's hanging up on my wall downstairs, so I'm so
excited to see that. I'm trying to find my Goodbye
Tour t shirt of theirs and see if I can

(03:51:19):
one fit it to wear to the show because it
says wave goodbye on the back of it, and yet
you know, here we are. They're back touring again, and
hopefully they play some stuff from like Tron Legacy and
Tron not the first one that was dat Punk. You
know some of that stuff, the soundtrack stuff. I hope
that he plays live. It'd be fun to hear some
