This is Emily, Henley and Sammy and you're listening to Too Scary Didn't Watch. Hi everyone. Welcome to Too Scary Didn't Watch. The Horr movie recap podcast for those too scared to watch for themselves. I'm Emily and I am too scared to watch scary movies. I'm Henley and I'm also too scared to watch scary movies. I'm Sammy and I love watching scary movies and so I watch them so that you don't have to and if you can believe it, we have another very special treat for you in this episode, two weeks in a freaking row. Oh my God. What do we do to deserve this? It's an exciting time. March 2026. March. A big time for horror movies. Apparently. Apparently. So that's what's coming up today. And if you want to get straight to that, there are timestamps in the show notes because first I would like to know, Emily and Henley, did anything scary happen to you this week? Emily, you go first. Okay. I'll go first. They won't hear us say this title. Yeah. Okay. I guess I'll go first. Smooth, smooth. Okay. I did another morning workout class today. Wow. Were you the only one again? Which yeah, other people do. Nobody does that. Nobody does that. Well, actually, like once again, I was like, there was so full. And when I arrived, another class was ending and I was like, what? Like people went to an 830 workout class on a Sunday. 930 is the earliest anybody could possibly do this. So I once came into a 930 a.m. workout class on a Sunday. Absolute insanity. And at the end of the class, the cool down, we're laying down. It's time. We're just laying and breathing. And this cool down song that they played was, there's a possibility. The new moon. The song in new moon when she's having her like seasons montage, just being depressed because it's not there. And I truly in that, I like the biggest smile work out of my face. And I was like, it's a sign. I did the right thing. I truly was like, this is for me from the universe, rewarding me for going to a morning workout class. So I guess it's just like scary that that's how my brain works. But also I don't think I'm wrong. I do think that was a sign from the universe for me and me alone. I think it was a sign. And as we've spoken about, I think that's one of the finest scenes in cinema history. Yeah. It's really good. I'm not, I'm not joking. And I also, it's really good. And I truly, I was like, how many is cause I'm like Twilight, the thing that only I love and it's just for us. We are the only ones who know. I was like, how many other people in this room right now are like, I'm like, I was like watching the scene. Yeah. I was like, who else in this room is watching this scene with me right now in our minds? And I'm guessing a hundred percent of us. I think every single one of us was, was exactly right there. I think you're right. I think we have to pay attention to science in the universe. I think we have to pay attention to science. I am really committed to, and actually this reminds me of my scary thing, which is not scary. It's actually really just something I'm so looking forward to, which is only a mere few days away. I'm having. Oh my God. Oh my God. I'm having an appointment, a private zoom appointment with an astrologist, an astrologist to the stars, both the stars and the stars, all the stars. All the stars, the stars above and below and and and on the ground, even ground level, even ground level, the ground level stars, ground stars. Um, yeah, I, uh, I can't, and I told the people in my book club this and it was so funny, their response. One person was laughing so hard. She was like, every time I'm talking to you, you're like seeing a psychic or an astrologist. It's just, and she was like, it's so funny. Cause your husband's a priest. Like what does he think about all this? And I was like, well, I keep asking him what I should do with my fucking life and he keeps telling me I need to look inward and like he can't answer it himself. So that's not an acceptable answer to me. I need somebody who's like, it's this. So now I'm trying an astrologist. I'm so excited. She's so lovely. You have the same one that I'm reading with her and I, I absolutely, she's just like so warm. Oh, I just, I'm so excited for you. I'm really excited to learn more about, um, my destiny that's written in the cosmos. And I'm going to take it seriously. I'm going to do everything she says. Honestly, the, the appointment I had with the psychic last year really did help me because she told me to have sketchbooks all over the house to draw. And I laughed about it so much at the time because I was like, no, but then I have been drawing just for fun and I really like it. I'm really happy I'm doing it. Yeah. I don't think I would have done that without her. So it doesn't have to give you all the answers of everything in your life, but it will, obviously. But, um, it, it just, it feels good to like just take that time to be closer to yourself and like whatever you get from that. Yeah. It's insightful. It's like, I've also been doing tarot cards a lot at night instead of looking at my phone because I also don't want to read all the time. So I've been doing, doing some tarot cards and it's just a way to reflect on things. And it's another like, I mean, obviously this is zoom appointment. It's not in person, but with the tarot cards, it's like, you know, like a physical thing you can do just anything that we can do to get off screens and like be more in the physical world is, is really nice. So and in the spiritual world and the spiritual world connecting with the ghosts in my house. Love me and I love them. We're all in good terms. I'm looking for them right now. Remind me, have you done, you have done a reading with Carolyn Swift, right? A past lives? Because if not, that needs to be next up. Is she the one who, because I did the psychic reading a couple of years ago. Who was that? Was I think, I think it was Carolyn. Did you learn about your past lives? It was, no, it wasn't past life. Well, then it wasn't. I've never done past lives one either. I'd like to. Oh my God, you both have to. I'm going to sign up for that now. I'm going to sign up for that next. She's so lovely. It's also just like, it's just nice to talk to a lovely person. Wait, you were like, you like made shoes during war or something. I made puppets during World War II. I was a puppeteer in France in World War II. Which like makes sense to me. When I had that reading, she was like, you should be like, do you like make things with your, I feel like you should be like doing things with your hands, like being creative. And I was like, no. And then now I do that. You were starting to think about that. It was like a little seed in your brain. So it was crazy that she picked up on it and was like. You know, I can only be good. Yeah. So anyway, I'll keep you guys updated on what my astrologer tells me. I can't wait to hear. Incredible. Yeah. Should I like think? Did you ask questions, Emily? Or how does it work? Like I went with her and did a natal chart reading. So it was just her like. She had run my chart and like went through it all with me. It's more like, and then, and then I asked questions of things that like came up during it, but it was like, she looked at my chart and told me what it said about me based on that. And then sort of took me through what the like major chapters and transits of my life have been and will be. And again, like, you know, some people think it's bullshit. Some people think it's bullshit. I think it's 100% real because she did. There was she like was looking back and was like this. These years, this was like, this is a really like tumultuous, a lot of change. And it seems like it was like, like a lot of change. Like perhaps in your like home, like, can you tell me like what, can you think of anything that was happening during those times, those years? And like all I like started because I was like, yeah, yeah, I can tell you literally exactly in those years, what was happening to me. And you are 100% correct. Whoa, it blows my mind. Just saying. I love it. I love it. Okay, I'm so excited. I'll report back. I can't wait to hear. I hope it's not like in White Lotus season one when she meets with the psychic or is it season two? No, season two. Jennifer Coolidge meets with the psychic. The psychic screams, looks horrified right now. The psychic screams, looks horrified, runs out of the room. We don't know why at the end of the season, you know, spoiler alert, Jennifer Coolidge can't commit, commit, commit a murder, but it's, um, So I always wonder about that with psychics and stuff where it's like, what, what if you see the horrible things happening to a person? What do you do? That would put them in a tough position. But thankfully it's not going to be relevant for you. I know because only good things will happen to me. Exactly. Um, so that's my scary thing is that I'm going to find out my future in a few days. Wow. Yeah, it's scary. Knowledge is, knowledge is scary. Sammy, anything scary happened to you spiritually, physically? Mine is also self care related. Cause psychics are self care. Yeah. Psychics are self care. Um, I had the best massage of my life yesterday. Oh my God, do tell me. But it was, it was scary because it was like, wait, massages can be like this. It was kind of like, it like transcended a little bit. There were parts where I was like, I don't know where she ends and I begin. Oh my God. Would she like give me all the information? Was she like an energy healer too? Or just a masseuse? Just a masseuse. Astonishing. This place was real bare bones, no frills. Duncan and I needed a massage. It's been a long couple of weeks and all of our normal like kind of frilly places were all booked up. So we went to just a random ass place in Pasadena with good reviews and it's like the ambiance is real weird. It's just like completely quiet. They don't even have no sound machine at all. Just dead silence for the massage. That's pretty funny. Just your body like squeaking on a table. Yes, yes, exactly. But oh my God, it was just insane. You know, when they use their forearms like rolling pins and it feels like. Oh, that's, yes. Like they have like 10 arms all of a sudden. And you're like, how are you doing this? I can't even picture in my mind what's happening right now. There was so many moments in it where I was just like, how, how is this? Do you remember the name of your practitioner? That's important practitioner. Here's the thing, Emily. They swapped out like twice during the, I believe that all of them are just as talented. It's just because Duncan got one as well and his swapped out as well and they come in and they're just like talking during it and like opening. Were they talking to each other? Were they talking to you? They were talking to each other because they were like shift changing. And so it was very like, very funny vibes, but. It's very like utilitarian. Like you're here for a service. Yes, it felt great. Clinical, but like. That's what I prefer. They're just like full experts. It was crazy. I would like to go here. Yeah. It was amazing. Wow. I really couldn't believe it. So I saw a video online recently of a woman talking about how she got a massage and it like cured her of her OCD. I mean, I was on cloud nine after, I don't know if it cured any of my, my mental illnesses, but it's certainly anxiety for the short term. This, this person who seemed, um, she, she still has OCD, but she was, she's, she was, she's been plagued by this one, this one, her brain was trying to force her to make a decision between two terrible things that neither of the things that she, she didn't want to do either of the things. And it was like ruining her life. And she tried everything, like going to see different psychiatrists, different doctors, like, and it was just getting worse. And so she just went to see this massage therapist who's also an energy healer. And she said in the, like in the middle of the massage, the woman just did this thing where she kind of like did something to her neck. And all of a sudden she saw this vision of like bright blue and her brain just told her, the answer is that you don't need to make a decision. The answer is you don't need to make a decision. And she was like, and I, and I felt my whole body just like release the entire thing. And I was like, this is, she was like, and she was like, and I'm not a spiritual person. I don't usually believe in this kind of thing. But like if you're struggling with anything like this, don't count it out. My connection is real. Are mine is a part of your freaking body. The tension release was like crazy. Like I was like, you're literally like, like the tension is just being forced out of my body. Like I could not hold on to tension if I tried throughout this. I've been like really at the end, this weekend in particular, like I've found myself absolutely paralyzed with inability to like make a single decision or like know what I want. Specifically as relates to like, just like, do you want to go get dinner or not? Like I'm like, I can't, I can't do it. And what I think, I think I'm just like, I think I'm just holding so much tension and stress that I'm like, I just, I like need to just get it out. I forgot the scariest part, which is that right in the beginning, we were like a little bit late, just a few minutes late. So they like rushed us right into the room and that energy was very funny too. They're like, okay, come, come, come, come. I like run up the stairs. And then the woman at the front desk, like I said to us, she was like, if it's too hard, you have to say something like, don't wait till the end. Don't just endure it. And then she's like, and if it's ever like too painful and you have to stop, that's fine. You can just stop. I was like, oh no. What's about to happen? Probably had so many people complain. Yeah, I think you just endure it. You don't have to just endure it. They're not fucking around. Like it's, I did medium pressure and there were parts of it that hurt, but hurt in a way that I was like, you're getting some stuff out. It hurt, right. Yeah. Okay. I need this. I need this desperately. I'm very excited because I have not been thrilled with my massage. Lately. Yeah, it's not, it doesn't, those, the nice places are often like kind of bad massages. Yeah. Yeah. I think that's been my problem is I've been tricked into thinking that I need it to be like expensive and like fancy, like have a lot of fancy ambiance and nice music and beautiful curtains and stuff. It's like, I just went in a quiet room, a silent room that had a shower in it for some reason. I guess I was probably allowed to use that shower if I wanted to, but I did it. And so you did a couples massage? Yeah. 90 minutes? Yep. Okay, baby. She's doing it. She's doing it tomorrow. Joel could use a massage as well. I think that, I think that this is fun. There's going to be times where you're going to like want to laugh. There was a time that I did laugh when they like kind of wiggle your limbs around. They're like shaking them out. I do like when they sort of just like, you can tell they're trying to be like, loosen up, loosen up. And they just sort of like, they go like, you just have to like go with it. But yeah, massages, they can be really good. They can be really good. They can be really good. Scary that I've had a lot of bad ones, I guess. Yeah, I've had a lot of bad ones too, but I've had some good ones and I want to have, I want this. I want this. Yep. I'm excited for you. Oh my gosh. You guys, something else scary that happened this week is I watched the movie. Same. You also watched the movie. Also, it's not scary, but it's still, I kind of feel like I'm lying these days when I say I'm too scared to watch scary movies because I'm like kind of not, but I still kind of am. Don't worry. I still kind of am. But the movie that I watched that I wasn't too scared to watch is ready or not here. I come this equal to ready or not. It just came out on March 20th, 2026. It was directed by Matt Betanelli-Open and Tyler Gillett, written by Guy Busick and R. Christopher Murphy, starring Samara Weaving, Katherine Newton, Sarah Michelle Geller, Sean Haddyssey, David Cronenberg and Elijah Wood. Stellar. Stellar. Stellar cast. Excellent cast. And did you ever watch Ready or Not or did you just hear about it? No, I just heard about it, but I loved that recap. I remember that's like one of the recaps I've enjoyed so much. I think that was one that like left me floating around the room after watching it. Ready or Not so fun. It's really, yeah, I love Ready or Not. I was very excited when I heard that there was a sequel and I was also like, how the heck is there going to be a sequel? I don't know if you recall. Yeah, it doesn't end on a note that leaves you wondering what's next. Yeah, it seemed like it was done, but they found a way. Do you remember how Ready or Not ends, Penn? Well, I kind of was reminded because we had the wonderful experience of being able to interview Samara Weaving. True, we did get to interview Samara Weaving and that will be at the end of this episode. It was extremely cool to talk to her because she's extremely cool. She's so cool. I can't believe we got to talk to her. She was... We can't believe we got to look upon her. She's an angel amongst us. It was a real treat. It was a real treat. She's exactly what you hope, which is to say really fucking cool. She's amazing in these movies. She's amazing in this sequel. I just love to watch her. I just really, really do. She's really fucking great. Me too. I want to see her in everything, anything and everything. I was reminded that, yes, it ends with her covered in blood, exhausted, son coming up, sitting outside the house like police. Yeah, so she had to very quickly, Ready or Not, she marries this man, meets his family, they're rich and it turns out they have to play a game as an initiation ritual into the family. She pulls a card that says hide and seek. This means that they believe that they have to kill her before Dawn or the devil will kill them. Yeah, they've made a deal with the devil or a mysterious devil-like figure. Yeah. And so they proceed to... I've already in the family hunts her while she hides from them. She has to survive until Dawn, but if she does, they'll all die. So they very much want to kill her. And you know, insanity ensues. She makes it till Dawn and they do all explode and die. Oh, right, I forgot they all explode. I forgot that part. They all explode and the movie ends with her exiting the house, sitting on those steps as we hear Siren's roll in and that's where we left off. So let's give a little bit of trivia about Ready or Not too. 76% on Rotten Tomatoes, 59 on Metacritic and a 7 on IMDB. So really y'all in the place there. Okay, critics. A budget of 14 million box office of 11.9 million as of two days after its release. So I think it's doing well. Yeah, I think it's doing well. But I think can you watch it on Disney? The Disney... No, it's a little like... Oh, feature-at-type of thing. I thought the same thing. I was like, whoa, it's already streaming, but it's like a behind the scenes look. Ready or Not too. The reason I say that is because Silas almost clicked on it last night. I was like, he was on the Disney app and I was like, oh, that's Ready or Not. That's Ready or Not. Yeah, that's not for you. Let's not click on that one. What was the other movie that Silas kept trying to watch? It was because the Amazon kept advertising it. What was it? I can't remember. But Silas is a little future... A little horror fan. Horror fan. Definitely not. No, he's so scared. He's so scared of everything. Yeah, no, he's very scared. He's scared of Ice Age. He's scared of 101 Dalmatians. He's my son. Yeah. So some little trivia. Matt Betnelli-Open and Tyler Gillett were working on an original film centered around a sister story set to star Catherine Newton and Samara Weaving. But when Searchlight Pictures approached them to direct a sequel to Ready or Not, they proposed integrating their original sister story into the Ready or Not universe. That's how this came to be. The directors revealed that having Sarah Michelle Geller in the cast meant they had to get creative with the weaponry as she had used almost every weapon imaginable during her Buffy years. Yeah. Oh, did you guys hear Buffy reboot? Canceled. Canceled. But you know, maybe it will find life somewhere else. I feel confident that it will. That just seems so insane to me. Why would there such a built-in audience? I think they were making it too weird. I think Chloe Zhao, because Chloe Zhao was directing it, and I think she was making it real weird, which like makes me want to see it even more. Yeah. So fingers crossed. Yeah. Fingers crossed it finds a place. It feels like a freaking slam dunk. Sean Haddyssey and Elijah Wood previously starred in the faculty together. All reunion. Oh, yes. Undeniable chemistry. I forgot about that. That's fun. I love him. He's great. He's great. And he's great in this. And my last little trivia that I, it's funny that I like didn't put this together until I read this trivia. And then I was like, oh my God, which is like Elijah Wood previously collaborated with Samar Weaving's uncle Hugo Weaving in the fucking Lord of the Rings trilogy. Oh yeah. Crazy. Yes. Yes. Crazy. The world is small, you know? Mm. Mm. Crazy to have Hugo Weaving be your uncle. Yeah. Yeah. I love Hugo Weaving too. I love Hugo Weaving. And I love Samar Weaving. I love the Weavings. I love the Weavings. I love the Weavings. The Weavings family. I'm a fan. Fan of the Weavings. Okay. I think that we should watch the trailer at the end because something I really enjoyed about seeing this movie is that I truly was like what, I had no information about what it was going to be. And I was like, how are we going to do a sequel of this? And so I liked not knowing. Yeah. What that was going to be. Yeah, it was fun. On that note, that trailer will be available on our Patreon, patreon.com. And just forgot to say this whole episode will be a video episode also available on our Patreon. So if you're, you know, 20 minutes in and you now want to switch to video, you can do that. You can do that. I actually have a question too before we start the recap. I can't remember. Do we know in this mythology of this family, could she have picked a card that did involve death for everyone? Like it could have been anything. That was the only card that she could have picked. Like there in the scene where she picks the card, everyone's kind of like, oh fuck. Yeah. That's the one card. They all knew it was a possibility, but they like, cause there's other like spouses there in the family. Like this doesn't happen every time someone gets married. And they were like, I just had to do this stupid little game. Like, I like this, you know, yeah, it sucks that you picked this one because like now we, because of our contract with Satan, like we have to try to kill you. But they wish that they wish they didn't, but like, you know, you make a deal with the devil, you got to do what you got to do. Wow. Okay. Okay. Got it. All right. I just want to clarify that. Yeah. No, great question. Great question. You protect your health, your car, even your phone, but what about your home? It's probably your biggest investment. And when things go wrong, the cost can hit hard and fast. That's where home serve comes in. If I was a regular homeowner, I would definitely use home serve.

But I noticed that I held on to all of my items from Quince. Quince makes beautiful everyday pieces using premium materials like 100% European linen, organic cotton, and super soft denim. My latest favorite from Quince is a pair of Bella stretch wide leg jeans. I got them in faded black and the brand you go to. They're super comfy with just the right amount of stretch and they are lightweight enough for these very hot days we've been having in Los Angeles. I love them. I think I'm going to get them in some other colors as well. And the craziest part is they're only $50. I cannot remember the last time I got a pair of jeans that I loved for $50. That's unheard of. But Quince works directly with ethical factories and cuts out the middleman. So you're paying for quality, not brand markup. Refresh your spring wardrobe with Quince.

So the movie begins. We pick up in the final scene of Red or Not, which I loved. That makes sense. I don't know how else you would do it. I don't know how else you'd do it. You see Samara weaving, her character name is Grace, exiting the house. It's like on fire because everybody exploded. And then Satan appeared quickly and then went away. Flames, she's covered in blood. She's stumbling out of the house. We're on her. She sits down. She lights up a cigarette. We hear sirens. We hear an EMT come over to her. And we just hear his voice off screen. Man, what happened to you? She says, in-laws. That was the end of Red or Not. And then she very quickly starts to have a panic attack. We see all of what has happened coming. She's realizing it. She has a panic attack. She collapses. We stay on her face as we see she gets picked up, put on a stretcher, brought into the back of an ambulance. They are checking her pupils. No response. Looking for a pulse. No pulse. She's in cardiac arrest. We're doing chest compressions. We get the little guys going clear. Shocker. And when we shock her, we see in her mind, she has a flashback of her wedding. Back on her body. Still no pulse. Shock. We get another flashback of her pulling the card and saying hide and seek. And everybody being like, oh, fuck, oh, fuck. Go back. Still no pulse. Clear. A flashback of she's splayed out, like, about to be sacrificed on a table while her husband like raises a blade to stab her. Shocker one more time and she comes to titles. Ready or not, here I come. That was a very clever way to sort of remind us of what has happened. We come back up, Grace in a hospital bed and again, she comes to and looks down to see that she is handcuffed to the bed. And it's like walking with the handcuffs like what's going on. At the foot of the bed is a detective. He says hello. Mrs. Ladolmes. I'm detective Frank. Sounds right. And she says, she starts with, it's Macaulay and he's like, it says here that you just got married to an Alex Ladolmes and she's like, didn't work out. He's like, okay, Miss Macaulay, I have some questions for you. You know, we found you at the scene of where there were clearly multiple murders. You were also suspected of arson. We found you covered in blood. That was not your blood. We got a lot of questions for you. Which like, if you think about it, that's like probably how most horror movies, what the next thing would be. It would be like our final girl or like hero would then be like, You got a lot of trouble. You got a lot of playing in the do. And I love Samara's performance here because she is just like, you would just be like, are you fucking kidding me? Like she starts laughing at one point. She's like, okay. Like, sure. Yeah, that makes sense. I just survived the worst fucking thing imaginable. And yeah, now I have to deal with this. Just then a nurse comes in saying she has a visitor. It's her emergency contact in comes Catherine Newton. Her character name is Faith. And it's her sister. And they clearly are like, she's like, fuck happened to you. Grace says, what are you doing here? She says, you never removed me as your emergency contact. There's a lot of tension here between these women. They are sisters. The detective's like, I'm going to give you a minute, but then I'm going to need to take you to the station for some questioning. So he leaves. The sisters have a moment of like, Grace is like, what the fuck happened or face is like, what the fuck happened to you? Grace says, you wouldn't believe me if I told you. And she says, yeah, well, I came all the way out to like, bumfuck middle of nowhere Connecticut. So why don't you humor me and tell me what happened? It is awful having to go to Connecticut. It's awful. I get it. Grace says, where did you come from? And Faith says, do you mean where do I live? And Grace is like, yeah, where are you living? And she says Chelsea or I don't know, Lower East Side. And Grace says, I'm in Chelsea. Why didn't you tell me you live in New York? She was like, never came up. And we get, you know, it's been like, I think like seven years since they've really talked. Grace is the older sister. Faith is younger. Grace is like, I don't remember how this conversation entirely goes. But Faith is basically like, I'm doing great. I didn't like need you as my older sister. Like, by the way, my life is fucking awesome. I work in marketing now. I have a hottest fuck boyfriend named Derek. And guess what? I didn't need to chase Rich Dick to get like a nice life for myself. And Grace is like, what are you talking about? And she's like, Alex Lodomas, like I know that you are with him. And she says, how do you know about Alex? Faith says, I saw you guys once with the Whole Foods on 25th and 1st. And Grace, like I can't believe you didn't say hi. Things are not good between these sisters. But Grace is like surprised that Faith is this angry at her. No, but she surprised that she lived so close. Right. And didn't like, like you get the vibe that Faith is angrier at Grace than Grace is at Faith. Right. Like it's a very like little younger sister energy of like, fuck you, I don't need you. And Grace being like, okay. Yeah. But Faith goes to, Faith is like fine. You guys are clearly doing fine. Fuck you. I'm leaving. Grace decides to tell her what happened. And we get a little recap of the night of the wedding. I had to play a game. I pulled a card and it said hide and seek. And apparently that's the bad card. They all thought they had to kill me or they would die. And so they hunted me and her performance in this little monologue is so... Great. Like she's really... It's exposition for the audience, but it's delivered like very emotionally and like how you would just be like... Even like they hunted me. Like she got fucking hunted. Yes. All of them. Deeply traumatizing. Very traumatic. She says they all tried to kill me. I got the shit kicked out of me. I got shot through the hand. My husband stabbed me. Oh. She's like, I fucking won. I made it till dawn. And Faith's like, so what did they all... Like they all collapsed or what? And she's like, nope, they exploded. And now I'm here. And Faith says, you are so going to jail. She's like, yeah. Cut to an old man sitting in a lounge chair. In a fancy big room watching news coverage of a war happening. So this is the devil? This is actually David Cronenberg. Oh, okay. I do want to know how the police are going to explain all these humans being exploded. How would you explode? How would someone else explode? Partially, it's... Everything's burned down. So like you also might be like... Remains. Yeah. You also maybe wouldn't have known exactly how many people were there when it... Because like not everyone explodes. Just the last few... Because people die throughout the course of the first movie. So there's like other bodies in other places. Some are killed in normal ways. Totally normal. To go in heroes. Yeah. Okay, got it. So it all makes sense. So he's watching the news. We see a war happening. He picks up the phone next to him. He calls and he just says, approve the ceasefire. Hangs up. And we see breaking news. Ceasefire deal arranged. In walks Elijah Wood. I do not know his character name and I am going to call him Elijah Wood. Please, thank you. Elijah Wood in a suit. Walks in. He walks up to the chair. David Cronenberg looks at him. And he says, It's been a while. Doesn't look super pleased to see Elijah Wood. Elijah Wood looks at him and he says, The bride won. The ladolmes are no more. Oh my God, this is the devil's bureaucracy. This is fun. David Cronenberg looks at him. Sends us information. Pulls out his phone. He says to another assistant in the room, he says, Get my children. She says, okay, she leaves. He pulls out his phone. He sends a text. It's this group thread. We see the last text sent on this group thread is like some of the members of the ladolmes family. Taking like a selfie with Samara Weaving or something. Just being like, crazy night. Like in the middle of their hunt. Oh my God. And he sends a text on this thread that says, The bride won. The ladolmes are no more. The ball is in play and hit send. We see Shang Hai. Okay, so we're about to get introduced to a bunch of characters whose names I don't know. They are all said at one point and then like not really ever again. And so I will be calling them throughout my notes by the name of the city where they are coming from in these title sequences. Great. Just so you know, so we get Shang Hai. We see a fancy woman in like a fancy office. See this text. Put herself in down pickup her office phone and say, Arrange my lawyers. Great. We see Madrid. A man getting ready to go on stage for like a lot, you know, like a television performance or something. He's got like assistants talking to him. He's like reading a script. He's got his fancy and important. His assistant brings him his phone. He looks at it. He gets all excited and he says, She turns around and says ready my jets. Jersey City. We see a beefed up crazy man. Read his text and be like, Yeah, I'm like open a big, big box of cocaine and pour a mountain of it on his hand and slurp it down. We see London. We're in a lab club. We see a guy looking at the text with his phone moving through the club, going up to another guy showing it to him and they're like, Yeah, this is fucking awesome. Back to the old man. Sorry, David Cronenberg. And we see his children, his adult children arriving into the room. This is Sarah Michelle Geller and Sean Hattacy. The character names are Titus and Ursula. Very fancy, rich looking. Yeah, good rich people names. Very good rich people names. And they enter the room where their dad is and they see as they enter Elijah Wood leaves and they make eye contact with him and are sort of like, Uh-oh. Come in. Their dad tells them to stand on either side of him. It's like almost like a makeshift hospital setup. He's old, but he's got like an IV drip happening, but he's also like, it seems like also it's maybe something that's just like, if you're rich, you can just sort of like be attended to in this way. He's not like on death's door, but he's an older man. But they like come to either side of him and he tells them, The bride one, there's no more ladolmes. The ball is in play. They are not happy about this news. Titus is like, it's not fair. Or the dad's like, you know what you have to do. And Titus is like, no, it's not fair. The ball shouldn't be in play. And his dad slaps him across the face and he's like, fucking get over it. Do what you have to do. And he takes the dad, David Cronberg, takes a signet ring off and he like puts it on the nightstand or the table next to him and he's like, This ring cannot leave our family. They're like, okay. David Cronberg lays down on his chair. He like pulls the pillow out from behind his head. He puts the pillow on his chest and he says to him, He's like, all right, let's get on with it. Ursula and Titus exchange a look. They grab either sides of that pillow and they smile at him. Whoa. And he dies. Whoa. Okay. Back at the hospital, we see Grace being escorted out by the detective. She's in handcuffs and a wheelchair being brought out. Faith is there with her too. And he's like, the detective's like, okay, Miss McCauley, we're going to take you to the station. We're going to get that statement. You're going to be in a lot of trouble. You just better, in a mid-sentence, a knife gets thrown into his throat. And he starts like, you know, dying. And, you know, dying. You would, yeah. You would. You would die. It's just hard to go back from that. And Grace and Faith scream. Everyone in the hospital screams. They look around. It's jacked up. Jersey City Coke Guy. Of course it is. He is the closest to him. Yeah. Yeah. True. And Grace is immediately like, this can't be happening. This can't fucking be happening. Like again, her performance is so good. Like she's immediately in shock. I'm just like, no, no, no. Faith is like, what the fuck is going on. Grace grabs Faith. They duck into a room to hide for a second. Grace is just like, fuck. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. And we hear the cocaine guy walking through the hall looking for him and he goes, Mrs. LaDomas. Mrs. LaDomas. And he says to himself, he's like, rules be damned. It's mine, it's my turn. And he's hunting them down, he's trying to find them. He goes down another side of the hallway. Grace is like, we need to get a weapon, we need to get a weapon. Faith is like, fuck, we're not leaving this room. Like, what are you talking about? She's like, I need to get to the cop. I need to get his weapon. So they like, they, you know, he's down the other hallway. So they like sneak over, they try to get the gun off the cop. They don't know where the cocaine guy is. They're looking around, he sneaks up behind him, kicks Faith, shoves her away, gets on top of Grace, pulls up another knife and he's like, yeah, it's gonna be me. And he like pulls the knife up, he's gonna stab her and just as he goes to bring the knife down, he explodes. Oh, okay. Faith is immediately like, she gets splattered with blood. I mean, everybody does, but this is the first time it's happened to her. So much blood splattered in these movies. And so she's like, what the fuck? Like, she's like, you know, this is old hat for Grace at this point, but this is new for Faith. Also weirdly validating for Grace. She's like, see? I think so. Yeah, this is for real. This is fucking for real. And Grace is like, okay, there could be more coming. Come on, Faith, we need to get going. She's like, she's like already, she knows the drill. She's getting into action. She's like, I need to get these handcuffs off. She finds the key on the cops, key ring, and unlocks the handcuffs. And she, he had her like bag of clothes and effects from the crime scene. And so she's like, I gotta change back into this fucking bloody ass dress. She's like, I'm gonna need to be prepared to fight. I can't fight in this hospital gown. And so we get a very fun little scene of her like gearing up for battle, putting back on her bloody ass. Oh, I would not want to put that dress on again. Wedding dress and her lacing up her little yellow converse. It's all covered in blood. We can see when she does this, she's got like patches from two big like stab wounds in her back, her hands all wrapped up. It's like getting this dress back on. She's in a lot of pain, but it's like a very like suiting up for battle, but in this bloody ass wedding dress, which is really fun. It's so funny. She gets it on like, okay, ready to go. When the elevator dings, the door's open and a canister gets thrown down the hallway and gas starts coming out of it. And grace and faith pass out on the ground. Out of the hall of elevator emerges Elijah Wood and somebody else in gas masks. And he gives us some great, if you're gonna need like lengthy exposition provided for you in a movie, it's best to have it done by Elijah Wood. I really appreciated this choice because he does do a lot of like, so here's what's happening. And so he walks down, he sees all the blood and he's like, man, cocaine guy. I mean, he knows his name, I don't, but cocaine guy couldn't wait for the game to start. He thought he'd try to kill the girl before we could resume and play of the game. And he sacrificed his whole bloodline. Oh, well. And he comes up and he sees grace. He says, there you are. And then he looks over and he sees faith. He says, and who are you? Cut back to Ursula and Titus. They are walking through this big, fancy hotel casino zone. We see a big portrait of their father on the wall. This is their family business. It's like a hotel and people are all scurrying out, getting their bags. They've been told that there's a gas leak and they all need to vacate the property right away. We see immediately that Titus is kind of a loose cannon. Like everyone is, you know, leaving it in orderly fashion as you would in a place of business. They're like, sorry, so sorry, ladies and gentlemen. Oh, we see they like come to a wedding that's happening at the hotel and interrupt it and are like, sorry, there's been a gas leak. You're all gonna need to vacate the premises. Titus is like, yeah, you gotta get the fuck out. Like he's like, you know, not playing it cool. Everybody's leaving and they get into a golf cart together. There's, again, a pride in this with some exposition where Titus is like, when was the last time the whole council convene and she says, 1963, I looked it up. It's just like they're all on their way to the lodge right now and so they get in their golf cart and they start driving to the lodge. We zoom out, we see they were on this gorgeous big fancy property. There's like the main building that they were just in. There's like a lodge, smaller fancy lodge building, big sprawling woods, a golf course, like fancy stone buildings. It's very like, you know, rich people resorty kind of vibe. And then we see three black escalades arriving onto the property. The first one pulls up the lodge where Titus and Ursula are waiting to receive their guests. Out of the door comes the woman from Shanghai and her son. I will be calling them the woman from Shanghai and the son from Shanghai. She comes out, they greet her, welcome, come on in. The next escalade pulls up as out comes the family from Madrid. This is an adult man and a like 12 year old boy. Yeah, ish. Great. The other son was maybe like 17. The Shanghai son is maybe 17. Boy from Madrid is like a boy, he's like 12 and the father. And they say, oh no, daughter from Madrid. And he says, oh, she's on her way. Don't worry, she wouldn't miss this. Like, okay, they go in, third escalade pulls up. It's the family from London. It is two adult men, young adult men and a young woman, all adults. Like brother and sister? Brother and brother and a wife. Okay. It'd be helpful if I knew their names, but I simply don't. They're really amped. We get one, there's a one older brother who's gorgeous, a beautiful, beautiful man, more like stoic. And then the younger brother who is like kind of a piece of shit, he's like wearing a very like rich person, like purposefully torn to shreds, like open weave sweater, you know? And he's like, it's gonna be so fucking fun. Yeah. And it's his wife. So they go in and Ursula and Titus look up and they say, up our guest of honor is arriving. We see a helicopter preparing to land. Cut two, we're in this room inside the lodge and there's two chairs in the middle of the room with pillowcases over their heads, pillowcases pulled off. We have Grace and Faith with fucking ball gags in their mouths. And they're standing in front of them is Sammy's background, if you're watching the video episode, the whole council here. Oh, I see, I see. All staring at them very excitedly. And Ursula says, welcome, Grace. We are so happy to have you. You know, this is actually really exciting and really good. And we're just so, you're our guest of honor and we're so glad you're here. In comes Elijah Wood with a big old, big book, really, really big, thick old book. And he comes to the front of the room and he places his book down and everybody takes their seats in the room. And Elijah Wood tells Grace, Grace, this actually really is Ursula was right. This is good, exciting news. You know, by surviving the Lodolmes's game. So we all here, we all are members of that Satan cult that Lodolmes is are. We are faithful to a Mr. Label. It's like what they call Satan. I'm not really sure what. That's what they call them in the first one too. Yeah, Mr. Label, but it is Satan. And they're like, we are all worshipers of Mr. Label. We've pledged our souls to him as Lodolmes's did and by beating them by winning your game, you've triggered a very seldom used clause in our bylaws. There is one seat on the council that holds more power than all the rest. And by surviving the game, you have now put that seat up for grabs. Anyone on the council can now hold that seat of power, including you. So it's actually really good news because now you have a chance to get the seat of power. And that seat of power controls everything. Their ballgags have been released at this point so they could talk and Gray says everything and he says the world. Wow, this is so fun. This is so ridiculous and fun. And she's like, okay, great. I'm gonna make this really easy for you. I don't wanna fucking play. I don't want your fucking seat. And he's like, oh, so sorry. You don't actually have a choice. You have to. And she says, I'm not playing. I'm not playing. And so they go, okay, kill the sister. Someone comes up, puts a knife to the sister. So she's like, fine, I'll play. I'll fucking play. And he's like, great. So this will be familiar to you. She's like, this is what I have to pull another card. And he's like, no, let's just call it double or nothing. Since you survived hide and seek, we're gonna play that game again. The rules are gonna be familiar to you. You just have to survive until dawn. Everybody else, they have to try to kill you. And she's really upset as you would be. Okay, I have so many questions about how this works. One of them is these are all, they're all just human beings, right? I mean, they're not immortal. They haven't been alive for centuries. Imagine, I mean, when do you find out about this? One of them's 12 years old. How early on are they like, by the way, you're in a Satan cult. We're gonna get some more, we're gonna get a little bit more exposition, courtesy of our friend, Elijah Woods. Okay, not that we necessarily need it for this type of movie, but like immediately that's where my mind goes, which is like everyone seems to be so on the same page and really understand exactly what's going on in a way that's like, how is this information transmitted? Look at this 12 year old boy. That's not a regular 12 year old boy. That's like a little freak. That's also what made me think like, are they actually human? Are they supernatural? They're human, they're just very, very, very rich. And they're very okay with achieving all their money and power and status through deals with the devil. It's so funny how many movies there are about how bad and evil it is to be rich, and yet we just can't stop. Also, them calling it Le Ball, there's like a whole conspiracy theory with Jeffrey Epstein, which is that they're all sacrificing children to ball. This feels very Epstein adjacent. I had a much harder time with this movie than the first one just based on the Epstein files. It definitely feels like it's like, so that's what we're, that's real, right? It felt really dark to me, yeah. Like I also had a harder time with this one than the first one. I still enjoyed it, but it took me a while to get there. Cause especially the beginning is just like, all these rich people gearing up to go hunting to like stay, which is the point. I mean, that is the like metaphor that they're trying to comment on or like, but. It just feels really real. And not that we weren't doing that at the time of the first movie still, but just like I was, I'm in a darker place now, I guess. Cause I was like. Well, it feels like less like entertainment when it's, when it's happening in real life. Like it's like not entertaining anymore when you're like, it's this outrageous in real life. Right. I mean, obviously not quite this outrageous, but almost. As far as we know. But again, the, like the entity, apparently all these wealthy people are sacrificing children to is Le Ball. Le Ball. I mean similar, you know what I mean? Yeah. Wow. Okay. Sure. Yeah. Just try it. Yeah. I don't know. I had a harder time with this one than the first one too, because it was very like, there were a lot of like, there were too many jokes for me, jokes that were like just purely jokes, you know, just like in a way that I was like, I don't need that here. I don't want that here. It's a little distasteful. Yeah. It's like, and it's also like a style of comedy that's very like Joel described as it's very like glib, which is not for me personally, my least favorite kind of joke. It's like, I don't actually like, that's not fun for me personally. Those won't be included in my recap. Just so you know, if you watch the movie and you're missing, you're sad that you're missing those jokes, I'm so sorry, I'm not going to do them. I don't like those jokes. They're not funny to me. So I'm not going to do them. Yeah. And it's also not funny to like, I mean the concept in the beginning when he picks up the phone and says like, say there's a ceasefire. There's just a few things that were like a little too close to home that I don't actually think were, I don't think they knew quite how close to home it was going to be. It would end up being, yeah. Because it's not like they feel, obviously film this movie like a couple of, at least like at least two years ago. Yeah, I think. So yeah, just like a kind of unpleasant coincidence to be like, oh, well, this is all real now. It's all real now. Oh, fuck my life. OK, that's all right. We're just going to put that out of our minds and focus on the fact that Smar Weaving is an angel from heaven. So true, she really is. Um, and Catherine Newton faith at this point is like, I'm just her emergency contact. Like we're not, we don't even talk like we're we're not friends anymore. Like I shouldn't even be here. Like she does. She's like, you all seem like really good people. I think that you should just probably just like, I have no, I don't have any part of this. Like I'll just go. Um, of course that does not work. And they get some big syringes to sedate them. Titus is like, I want to do it. He gets a syringe and he comes up to Grace and he gets in her face and he says, I just want you to know it's going to be me who gets you. And then it's gonna be my. Yeah. Do they keep making that joke? They make it so many times. It's gonna be my. Yeah. Yeah. And then the meme pops up over the, they just like cut to the meme and then the movie continues. It happens like a lot. Really weird. Um, faith and grace pass out. And now Elijah Woods is going to give us a little more context. Thank you, Elijah. Thank you, Elijah. He says, okay. So the eldest member of each family's bloodline will be the first to take the field. So only one family member at a time gets to go and take the field. Whoever kills the girl gets the seat of power. There is a moment where the other families are like, oh, where's, where's your dad? Where's David Cronenberg? And Ursul and Titus are like, oh, he, um, he passed away last night in his sleep. So as twins, we'll both be taking the field together. And so that's where we're like, that's why he made them kill him. Cause he, otherwise it would have been him. He's old. They would have lost the seat of power. So also for this Satan being like so particular with the rules, like one twin is older. Born first. Yeah, I know. Yeah. But I guess they're fine with that. But everybody else is like, oh, you fuck it. They're the, what is there in the Dan Force? Like Dan Force are fucking cheaters. Like they're all really mad about this, but it's like, oh, well, nothing we can do. So everyone who's gathered by the way is, so for the Dan Force, it's Titus and Ursula. And then their cousin, who's like kind of a dipshit and is like, they're wearing a robe the whole time. Cause he's like, I'm never going to have to fucking hunt. Like I don't have to deal with it. Um, but it's the way it will go is the oldest eldest member of each bloodline. They have to sign their name in this book. They will start the hunt. The rules are you must use a weapon from the era when your family signed their deal with L'Bail. So whenever your family like gave their souls to the devil is when you joined this cult as a bloodline. So you're going to have to use a weapon from that time period. So everybody joined at different times. They have different weaponry that they have to use. The eldest member goes first in the unlikely event that one of you, one of the hunters perishes the next eldest person in the bloodline will take their place in the hunt until the bride is dead. And so did all of them sign pregun? Is that like a way to avoid them using guns? No, there is a gun. There's some guns. Okay. Yeah. Cause I was going to say there's a shotgun in the law, but that maybe that was just her using and I don't know. Okay. Uh, the next rule is you cannot hurt another hunter. If you kill another hunter, even accidentally, your family's bloodline will be punished. Mm. Punished. Okay. Vague. Vague. Someone must be wearing the ring by dawn. And if not, Mr. Label will be very unhappy. Is this why they cast Elijah would cause that he's familiar with rings? Cause the rings. Yeah. Cause the rings. Yeah. He's, he's worked with a ring before. He's working with someone with ring experience. He did. I did see an interview with, um, on my Instagram with him and Sarah Michelle Geller and Catherine Newton and Samara weaving. And they, it was like, who's the most likely to, they're like doing a little game. You know, and someone said, who's the most likely to arrive late? And Catherine Newton said to Samara weaving, she was like, cause Samara weaving said she was late a lot or sometimes whatever. Catherine Newton was like, you're never late. You're just, you, you arrive like when exactly when you're supposed to like, and Elijah would and back and we said, what is she a wizard? And it like wasn't acknowledged in the, like, at least in the clip that I saw nobody else like when, but it's like, I, I had this moment of being like, it's aligned from over the ring. She said, I float a ring. She doesn't realize it. And he remembers it because he was in Lord of the, it's like a, I just, so it was like felt like, I was like, nobody, you want to DM him? Yeah. Like, I heard you. But I also was like, there was something so dear and dorky about him like referencing his own, I don't know. I was like, what does she a wizard? I was like, oh, Elijah. I love Elijah would. You're so cute. I love him. Um, I've seen him in the real world twice. And he's really cute. Okay. So these are the rules. Everybody agrees. They sign their names in the blood book and they say, um, the girl will be placed on the ninth hole of the golf course. We bring courses into this. That's a step too far. Yeah. Um, oh, I'm so sorry. Something I forgot was before they sedate them. We're having, we're talking about the rules. Grace is awake for the part about like, uh, you know, somebody must be wearing the ring by dawn or LaBale be very mad. You just have to survive until dawn. And then into the room suddenly storms a young woman, a young adult woman about Grace's age, that she's the daughter from Madrid. She storms in, she gets right up in Grace's face and she's like, you poor, you ruined my life. I'm Alex's ex fiance. You stole him from me. You gold digging whore. She's like screaming at Grace and Grace at the whole time. Again, I like really love this act of choice. She just keeps me like, okay, like, you're the least of my fucking worries right now. And this girl gets in Grace's face and she's like, you stole Alex from me. You ruined my life. And Grace looks at her and she goes, and I don't even know who the fuck you are, which I thought was a pretty sick burn. Okay, great. So just so you know that, so that's who are all, there's three people in the Madrid family, three in the Danforths, three in the London, two in the Shanghai. It makes perfect sense. So it's about to begin the game. Everybody who is not fighting gets to watch what's happening through the window, that outlooks the golf course and all the security cameras on the property are on so they can like kind of follow what's happening. The hunters, the first round of hunters, which is Titus and Ursula, the woman from Shanghai, one of the eldest brother from London and the father from Madrid. They're the first ones to go. And they get in their golf carts and Elijah would counts down three, two, one. They all go to drive away in their golf carts. The keys aren't in there. The freaking sheeting Danforths and the Danforths take off. They're like, yeah, suckers. So the man from London has a. Sword type situation. It's like a either it's like a really big knife or a really small sword. I'm sure it has specific name. Okay. Bigger than a dagger. Bigger than a dagger, not a hatchet. That's a ax. Not a hatchet because it's more it's long. It's like a machete. Like a machete. It's like a machete. Okay. So that's what he has. The woman from Shanghai has a long sword. Okay. Like a samurai sword. Like a samurai sword. Cool. The man from Madrid has a sniper rifle. And the Danforths Titus has like a. Mallet slash pickaxe kind of freaky thing. Okay. And Ursula has a gun, but like a gunpowder old timey like pirate gun. Okay. So they drive off the golf course. They're looking to get grace and faith. We hear the cousin saying to the other people upstairs watching, he's like, that's going to be over in five minutes. The Danforths have been trained for this since they could walk like this is going to this is about to be over. They're like drinking martinis up there. They're having a great fucking time. We see grace and faith come to in the middle of the golf course. Hand cuffed to each other. Not good. Grace is very quickly like faith, faith get up. We have to, we've got to go. We got to go. She's like, we need to run into the woods. Faith is like, what if there's people waiting for us in the woods? Like, I don't want to have to do like, why do you get to be in charge? And Grace is like, we cannot fucking argue right now. I've been down here before, like you need to fucking follow me. Do as I say, but we've got some sister tension going on. Faith is like, why do they want me? And Grace is like, they don't want you. It's just, you're here to slow me down. Like they're just trying to fucking kill me. So just listen to me and otherwise we're going to die. As we're having this argument about where to go, a drone flies up overhead and she speaks to them. The, it's a woman from Shanghai. We see that she's piloting this run and she says, I'm, I had my lawyers look at the, look at the rules. There is a loophole. There's a way out of this. And before she can continue to explain herself, the drone gets shot down. We see it was Ursula. They're coming upon them. So Grace and faith just beeline run into the woods in the nick of time. They make it past the tree line. And it's, these are like dense woods, dense dark woods. So it's like mid afternoon when they begin this game, make it into the woods. Upstairs, the people watching are like, oh fuck, it's not over yet. They make it into the woods. They are hiding, looking for weaponry that they can use. They make it to the edge of the tree line and find that there's a huge wall. They like wouldn't be able to climb it. So that's not going to work. They can't get out that way. They're trying to troubleshoot. What are we going to do when they hear Ursula calling to them? They hide, um, they're, you know, hiding behind the logs. She's looking for them. She's like, Grace, you know, we're not the bad guys. We're all part of the system and we don't have a choice. And I don't know, I was just saying some bullshit, but we see that behind them Titus is coming up behind them. This is meant as a distraction, but he steps on a stick. It breaks, they turn to see him. They're getting a hand-to-hand combat. He's obviously like, you know, bigger and stronger than them, but they are really smart. They use having being handcuffed together to like, they like run at him with the, you know, handcuffs in the middle and he falls over. He hits his head really hard. They managed to get away again. Ursula comes over to Titus. She's like, you really fucked that up. And she slaps him across the face and she says, the only way to make what we did to dad worth it is to get that fucking ring back. So get your shit together. He's looking mad that he got slapped as you would be tough. Oh, so we're having some sibling, sibling dynamics are really going to be investigated. They're going to be investigated in a sibling way. I can tell. As the girls walk through the woods, they, you know, they start hashing out their family drama and faith is like, you left me to go to New York. Grace says, I didn't leave you. You were a child. Like I was trying to make a better life for us. I tried to call you so many times you never answered. Faith is like, yeah, because you left me. Grace reveals that she like dropped out of school. She moved to New York to go to school. She dropped out. She's like, dreams don't always come true, but I'm really happy for you. You have a perfect fucking life. And this makes faith, you know, if they've sort of bonded in this moment, she breaks down. She's like, I made Derek up. Okay. I don't have a boyfriend. And I don't work in marketing. I'm a hostess. And Grace is like, well, as a waitress, I technically outrank you and face like, well, they made me a hostess because I'm really pretty. So they had to put me in front because I'm like so pretty. Grace is like, well, I actually like as a waitress, like I get such good tips because I'm so, I'm so pretty. And they have this like fun little like sister bonding moment. Things are like looking up for them. They make it to a clearing in the woods and they see in the distance, like a pavilion for like barbecue lunches, you know, on like a golf course. And Grace, her faith wants to run to it, but Grace is like, we'd be way too exposed. Like we don't know where people are going to be coming from, but we see in the distance, we see them being viewed through the finder of a sniper rifle. The sniper's got eyes on him. He starts shooting. So they're like, oh, fuck, oh, fuck. They run, they start be lining for that pavilion. He's a terrible shot, but he is shooting and, you know, trying to get them. They make to the villain. They hide behind a little cart, but he's shooting at them. They need to figure out a plan fast. Faith looks over. She sees there's like a outdoor heater and a pile of dry leaves that have been like raked up by the groundskeeper. She has an idea. She starts funneling leaves into the like flame portion of the heater. They start smoking. So now it's like clouding the vision there. He can't see. He's trying to figure out where they are trying to shoot them. They try to run out the other way, but they are met with London guy with his hatchet. Jump scare. He's coming at them. They're fighting him. There's smoke. Things are going on. The sniper guys try and Madrid guys kind of trying to shoot them. He takes a shot. He hits a gas canister. It explodes flinging everybody back. The London guy, he, by the way, the London guy is wearing like a really scary hard metal mask that he put on at the beginning to be like spooky. But so he gets flung back. Samara and faith is our grace and faith get flung back. We see that like some shards of glass have lodged themselves in Grace's arm. But this is their opportunity. They're like, fuck, let's get up. Let's go. They run. They make it into a nearby building. They make it in the door. But we see London guy is like on his back, passed out, not moving. Madrid guy and everybody in the clubhouse are watching. They're like fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. He pops back up. Everybody is huge few of sigh of relief. He's fine. But we lost sight of the girls. Cut to inside where the girls are there. It's like a kiss the room of like a casino. They're like abandoned drinks on tables and a bar set up and so they come through the room. Faith is like, you need to sit down. You're leaving a trail of blood. I need to get these glass shards out of your arm. It looks really, really painful. Just pulling them out one by one, talking to Grace to distract her, you know, telling her a little bit more about her life. We're doing a little more at various points in the movie. We do unpacking of our trauma together. And this is another point where faith is like, you know, I could have come with you. Grace is like, I was 18, you were 15. I couldn't have taken care of you. I told you I had a plan. Like I was going to go make a better life for us. And then I was going to have you come to New York. She's like three years. She's like, you had a good, she was like, you were in a good situation. We had good foster parents. Like you had a roof over your head. Faith is like, you were the only family I had and you left me. Grace is like, I tried to call you. You never answered. So this is where the trauma stems from. But we understand, you know, both of them, that we know where both of them are coming from. It's a tough situation. It's a tough situation. Yeah. They're just doing their best. They're doing their best. Um, they do, they take a shot for the pain. And just as that's happening, the door opens, uh, London Swordband has come in. So they duck down. They managed to sneak out of a door on the other side of the room, leading down a hallway. They make it to this industrial laundry room of this casino. They see a machine that I think sharpens. It's like sharpens metal things. The one that goes like, like a fast chair. Like I don't really know why it's there, but, but it is. And they see it and they're like, they look at it. They, they're still handcuffed together. They're like, we're going to have to fight this guy. Can't do it handcuffed. They see this machine. Faith is like, it's going to be really loud and Grace is like, yeah, but it's now or never. So they hold their hands out and lower it over this thing. It makes a loud, loud, loud metal noise, but they're trying to slice the handcuffed chain off. Swordband hears this, pursues them, goes into the room. Just in the nick of time. He's, he walks to that part of the room where the metal sheen is. He sees it like, like powering down, doing his last like, he just missed them. From behind, they come at him. They whack him with the thing. We're fighting. We're, we're brawling. We're using big laundry bags, hanging heavy laundry bags to like throw into him. He's throwing that they, they push a big laundry cart at him. He punches one of them, throws her in a place. They, he is going for one of them and they slam an open like dryer door in his head. They get an ironing board and they fucking beat the shit out of him with this ironing board. So they're getting the upper hand. There's a moment where it seems like he's got the upper hand. He's gaining on grace. We don't see where faith is. The people watching in the upstairs rooms are like, okay, here we fucking go. The other brother from London is like, we're going to need, we're going to about to do a toast here. Like this is about to be over. They're like, hell yeah, hell yeah. When faith comes in, she's got the ironing board. She fucking beats the shit out of him with an ironing board. They get him on this ramp up into a washing machine, a big, big, big, big washing machine. They put him on it. They get him into the washing machine. They shut the door. They lock it and he's like pounding, like trying to get out, but can't open the door and they pushed the lever to sanitize mode and turn it on. And he has got metal on his face. Oh, gross. This is a real new one. This is a new one. This is a real new one. And they turn on that machine and it starts feeling with boiling hot water and clunking him around. So we just hear clunk, clunk, screaming. He at one point, you see like a bloody palm hit the door trying to get out. Grace and Faith are both standing there just like, huh, just like, like so horrified, but are like, well, we can't let them out. Everyone in the clubhouse is watching this and they're like, oh my fucking God. They let it go for a while. He's still screaming. He's still screaming. Grace goes to stop it face. Like, what are you doing? She's like, he might have a phone. So they're like trying to like make sure he's dead, but also like maybe we can get his phone because they want to call 911. They finally stop it. The door opens, jumpscare. He falls out of the washer and he is like melted and soggy and nasty. Really nasty. So, Grace is like trying to get like look for a phone and she keeps just being like, like trying to like move his like nasty arms out of the way and like get his phone, but she does find a phone back at the clubhouse. They see that he's dead. Elijah Wood says to the other brother, he's like, well, it's your turn to take the field. And he's like, do I have to? Elijah Wood says someone in your family must be represented. Yes. And as the next eldest, it is your turn. And he says, can my wife do it? Of course, classic. And he and Elijah Wood says, yeah, if you, if you sign your, uh, abdicate your position as head of family, you can assign it to her. Um, and then she would have to take the field. Yes. She would be the head of your household. And he's like, okay, great. And she's like, what do you fuck? Like, I don't fucking do this. How fucking dare you? Like, and he cuts his hand, signs the blood book. She says, if you do that, I will make you so fucking dead. And he's like, sorry. So she goes up, she signs her name. It's time for her to enter the hunt. Okay. Back to grace and faith. They've used the phone to call 911. We see Ursula answer the phone 911. What's your emergency? She puts it on mute since she's like, I decided to collect all outbound calls just in case they got hands on a phone. Um, grace and faith are like, this is what's happening. We, we need help. They're like, okay, can you make it to the main gate? And they see a map on the wall of like the whole property. Uh, and they're like, okay, yes, we'll make it there. Like, great, the cops will be waiting to see with the main gate. Like, great. Um, so they're like, we know what we're doing. We're going to the main gate. They go back out through the room they came in, but they are stopped by the woman from Shanghai. She's got the big sword on them. Uh, she's like, I'm not trying to hurt you. I'm not trying to hurt you. I have a deal for you. And they're like, very suspicious. We're like, okay, she's like, no, she like puts her sword down. She's like, I mean it. There's a way out of this. I have my lawyers search the bylaws and there is a loophole that I don't think anybody else knows about, which is that this can end. If you marry someone, if you agree to marry someone, then they get the seat of power. You get to live the hunt ends. Oh, like anyone? Anyone in the council. Oh, anyone in the council. I see. Okay. She's like, so marry my son. She's like, he's an idiot, but he's nice. You don't have to live as a couple. Like, but he'll, he'll get the seat of power. The Danforths are terrible people. Like Titus is a psychopath. And Grace does say like, oh, and what? You're a good person. She's like, no, but it's a matter of degrees and like the world would be a really bad place if Titus and the Danforths are in the seat of power. We would do it better. All you have to do is marry my son. Like, if you get to live, win, win. Grace is like, that's it. I just marry him and then I, what? Everything's fine. And she's like, well, I mean, you would have to plead yourself to Missalobale and that does come with certain responsibilities. And she's like, what? Like fucking murdering people and sacrificing goats and shit. She's like, no, I'm not going to fucking do it. The woman is really trying to get her to a grace. She's like, come on, just do it. This will be over as she's trying to plead her and faith is like, do it. Just fucking marry him. Marry him. Say you'll marry him. Like, and this, and this. Man from Madrid comes in fucking shotgun drawn. Shanghai woman is trying to block grace from him. She's like, you can't kill me. So she's trying to block grace. She's like, agree to it, agree to it, agree to it. Come on, just like, say you're going to do it. It's this big standoff. She picks her sword back up. She's like, come on, say you're going to do it. I'm going to have to kill you. Grace is like, I'm not fucking agreeing to this. The Madrid guy's like trying to get a good shot in. He's like coming up behind, trying to find an angle. Grace grabs the woman from Shanghai's arm and swings it, stabbing the man from Madrid through the throat. Great. Okay. The woman from Shanghai's like, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. Wasn't me. It wasn't me. It wasn't me. The man from Madrid dying. Everyone's watching on the screen like, oh my God, oh my God. Hit, you know, Madrid's daughter and son are there like, fuck, oh my God. Everyone's like, fuck, oh my God. We couldn't have seen this coming in a million years. Oh, no, no, no. The Shanghai woman turns, looks at Grace in faith and explodes. Oh, all right. In the clubhouse, the son has not been watching this. He's not paying attention. They do really portray him as a big, big, big, dumb idiot. Another one of my little problems with this movie, I do feel like we, there's a lot of characters that we, I think, don't portray in a way that feels fair. Right. But he is not paying attention, but everybody else in the clubhouse's life starts like backing away slowly. Elijah Wood grabs his book, hides down behind little pedestal weights. He looks around, he's like, what's going on? Explodes. So it goes down the whole bloodline. Oh, okay. So he had a little gap, presumably, of other older members of the family. But then he exploded. Night falls. We see Ursula and Titus waiting, hiding by the gate, where they told Grace and Faith to come. The phone rings. It's them again. They pick it up. This time Titus has to answer because Ursula's like, they can't get the same 911 operator like two times in a row. Like you have to answer. So he's not doing a very good job. He's like 911. What's your emergency? You're like, what the gate? We don't see the cop car. And he's like, oh, it's coming. It's coming. You just need to come out, come out where, you know, where they could see you, go to the main gate. And so then Ursula and Titus are walking up, trying to see where they are when they get stuck up on by Grace and Faith. They grab their weapons. Grace has Ursula at gunpoint. She has her gun. Faith actually has the Shanghai woman's sword. She took it. And so she's got the sword on Titus. They're like, we knew it was you on the 911 called you fucking idiots. Like, how do we open the gate? They're not telling them because the gate is like shut and locked to exit the property. Like, how do we open the gate? They're not telling them. Faith holds the sword up to Titus's neck. Grace says, tell us how to open the gate. We're going to kill your brother. And Ursula says, okay, kill him. And she's like, it'd be far easier for me if it's just me in control. Like, I wouldn't have to bounce power with him. So yeah, you'd be making my life easier. You can kill him. We're like in this standoff where like, we're really going to fucking do it. Really going to fucking kill him. He's looking at Ursula like, are you fucking kidding me? When we hear an escalade speeding down the driveway, we look, we see it's the London man's wife behind the wheel. She is ready to, they're all standing in the middle of the road. She's going to fucking like plow them down. So they scatter, trying to get out of the way. Grace is left in the middle of the road. She's driving right at her. London man is watching the TV like, hell yeah, that's my wife. Fuck yeah. And we see she's driving through the gate at the last minute. She swerves around Grace and just slams through that gate and fucking drives away. Oh, okay. She's like, I'm out of here. Doesn't she explode though? If Grace says, I feel like it would be a risky move on her part. It doesn't make a ton of sense to me to be completely honest, but, but she doesn't want to, she doesn't want to participate. I understand. I want to participate. Participate. There's a world where she might not explode. If somebody else kills Grace, she doesn't explode. She just doesn't have to do it. That's true. Okay. So the four of them are like, fuck, okay, it's back on. Titus goes for faith. They start getting in a brawl. She manages to hit him over the head. He falls. He, he knocks himself out pretty good. Um, but Ursula gets ahold of Grace, has her in a fucking headlock. Faith is running out towards the now open gate. Grace is telling her like, go, go get out of here, save yourself. Go find help. Like go. She's conflicted. She sees that Grace is about to die. Cut to Grace. Ursula tackles her. Ha, she has like a big spike that she stabs Grace all the way through the shoulder. Ow. Ooh, it hurts so bad. And then I don't know, has a knife or the gun or something and is like, she's about to kill Grace. When faith comes back, slams Ursula in the head, knocks her out, grabs Grace, gets her onto the golf cart, they drive away. Sisters. Sisters. Sisters. Um, Titus gets up, you know, he's like, you know, he hit his head pretty hard, but he's okay. He comes over to Ursula and he's like, kill him. It'll make my life easier. Like, you know, repeating back to her what she said. And she says, obviously I was trying to stall them. Like that it was not real. And she like goes, she's like, man, they like really got you good. And to go to like 10 to his when he slaps her hand away. And he's like, stop treating me like a fucking child. Not good. Back at the lodge or the clubhouse, the London guy is like, okay, I'm ready to, I'll go hunt now, I guess. And Elijah was like, oh, no, you can't. Your wife chose not to participate, but she's still the head of your household and she owns all of your property and all of your assets. And she's completely in charge. There's nothing you can do in that moment. In comes the daughter from Madrid. Oh, she's not in the bloodline or, or is she the wife? Yeah. No, but because he signed, I still think she would explode. I was going to say, like, does she feel like exempt from the exploding because she's related by blood? Because she signed her soul over to Mr. Label. But if someone needs to be represented on the field from the bloodline, I know. Yeah, that was an interesting thing because if someone could have chosen to just like not do it, right? It's like, why don't they all do that? Well, because they want the seed of power. But yeah, it is confusing. It is confusing. But I guess they also, and also they would all explode because right? Yeah, it's got eventually they would all be on somebody else to do it. Someone's someone has to do it. Yeah. Um, sir, the daughter from Madrid enters the room. Her father has died. She's next to the bloodline. It's her turn. She enters the room wearing a wedding dress and has a big suitcase full of a big weapon, whatever it is we don't know. But she comes over and she signs her name with absolute fervor. She is ready to go. The woman's scorned. So woman's scorned. Her name's Francesca. Thank you. I'm going to call her the girl from Madrid. Okay, great. I will be calling her the girl. We see Grace and Faith have arrived now at the like main building of the casino that we saw at the beginning. They enter the room that was for the wedding that got stopped at the beginning. Sit down at a table. This wound is is really bad. Faith goes to help her get the thing out. She's like, no, I have to do it myself. We watch her pull this fucking long ass thing out of her shoulder and scream. Faith looks around in like this is a part that upon rewatching, I was like, wait, she's like looking through purses and like abandoned things in this wedding room for help find like pain meds for for grace. But I'm like, it wasn't like there was like people could have taken their stuff. Like I'm like, everyone just like left their purses. Like it wasn't like. I don't know. I just seemed like there would have been an opportunity to get your purse. That maybe like one or two purses possibly would be left behind, but not all of them. Just have a look at the jacket. There's like all this stuff. Anyway, don't think about it. Don't think about it. Don't think about it. Doesn't matter. But she's looking through bags. She finds some Tylenol. She finds some pepper spray. She's like, oh, cool pepper spray. That's great. Puts it on the table. Find some Tylenol. Grace is in a lot of pain and she's scared and she's angry that. Things are happening the way they are. And she says she's, you know, she's mad at faith. She's like, why didn't you leave? You could have saved yourself. You could have gotten out of here. Faith's like, oh, I'm sorry. I stayed to like fucking save you. I'm only here because of you. Grace is like, you never think like I was trying to fucking protect you. You didn't let me protect you then. You don't let me protect you now. It's repeating itself history. It's repeating itself. And it's, you know, we're not, we're not, we're not being our best. So faith is like, okay, I guess I will leave. Fuck you. Fuck off and goodbye. Faith leaves. Grace is like, dang it. I shouldn't say that. Why did they do that? And she's really, they're not doing well in this movie. She's really upset. She takes some Tylenol. She checks it down with an abandoned cup of red wine. Jess, then the door's open. It's the girl from Madrid whose name we couldn't possibly know. And she walks up and she's got a fucking bazooka on her shoulder. And she says, by whore. Love it. Love it. Shoots, presses the fucking button or whatever you have to do to shoot the thing. And it goes off behind her. She had it facing the wrong direction and is like, and she just runs and lunges at Grace. They start fighting. Grace grabs a pepper spray. Pepper sprays are in the face. The girl's like blinded, but grabs the pepper spray and it sprays it back and graces his face. So now they're both pepper sprayed. The camera doesn't think we're like seeing what they see and it's all like blurry and fuzzy. They're both like fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. Meanwhile, we see that faith has made it down the hallway and has come in contact with Titus. Titus starts beating the shit out of her. So we're cutting back and forth between these two fights. This is a joke that I do really like that we cut into the wedding. You only made me laugh. And we see that the two women are like, they can't see shit. They're just like wildly punching around each other and like not hitting anything. There's like a cardboard cut out of the bride and groom from the wedding. And we see in like blurry vision that Grace thinks that's her and she like punches the thing, but it's just cardboard cut out. They like collapse on top of the cake. They're just like desperately trying to figure out how to make contact with each other. Physical comedy. It's just physical comedy is great. Also, I'm loving that this is like the main thing Francesca is doing in this movie. I'm sorry, the girl from Madrid. And I'm sorry. Sorry, sorry, sorry. Just like just the thought of like, how do you audition for something like this? Is yourself tape like you just running into the room going by whore and then doing a fake? I hope so. Show us the footage. Show us the self tape. So we're cutting back and forth between these fights. The fight between Titus and Faith is is not going well. He is really getting the best of her. He is. This is the first time at this point in the movie. I was like, she hasn't really taken any damage. Like fucking Grace gets stabbed in the shoulder of glass shards in her arm. Faith's been kind of OK, but she gets the shit kicked out of her here. It's really it's really hard to watch. It's really upsetting and like confusing to be in her cut with like the funniest scene happening also at the same time as like the most. It's really it's really really upsetting. Maybe they're trying to soften it a little bit. I guess. But it was like too much. It's a little bit of whiplash. Yeah. And in the wedding room, they accidentally hit like the DJ booth and it starts playing total eclipse of the heart. And so it also that song is over playing like silly fight and like actually really upsetting brutal fight of like an adult man beating the shit out of a 20 year old girl. So that's happening. Grace manages to get her hands on a cup of water and like poured in her eyes so she can see a little bit better. But the girl from Madrid gains on her, gets on top of her, starts punching her punches are like four times in the face. Gets up, grabs a mic stand off the stage and is pulling it over as if she's going to like, you know, use it for one last blow on to Grace. Grace manages to get up. She tackles her onto the stage and Grace grabs a keyboard and just wax the girl from Madrid across the face like hard. She is out. And then Grace does a thing that I fucking love. Sammy loves we all love. She just gets in her face and she just goes. Get it out. Get it out. Get it out, Grace. Mara has the best scream to it's like it's like a feral. A wild animal. Call. Yeah. It's like a howl. Yeah. Oh, okay. So that happens. But then we see Titus is really about to kill Faith. He starts like kicking her in the stomach and it's really, really upsetting. And he goes to deliver the final blow when Ursula arrives, stops him. She's like, Titus, what are you doing? He turns, he punches her in the face. She's like shocked, takes a step back. He goes to once again, kill Faith and Ursula is like Titus, stop. We can use her. So he stops. But you can see Ursula is like scared. She looks like scared of him. Yeah. And she's she's scared that he's killing Faith because like doesn't need to be doing. That's not like part of it. And like, yeah, he turns on her and hits her in a way that's like. Penta like he's he's he's a full loose cannon. Yeah. Yeah. We don't know what he's going to do. Um, cut to Grace, making it back to the gate. She is walking out when a call goes over the loud speaker. That's Titus. He says, Grace, Grace, we have your sister and like puts her on the phone and she's really out of it. And she's like, Grace, leave me. Don't it's okay. Like get it. Save yourself. And he's like, so you've got 10 minutes to make it to the lodge or we're going to kill your sister hangs up. Oh God, Grace, what are you going to do? What are you going to do? She looks to the like control little room by, you know, like at the security desk by a gate she sees inside there's a cabinet that says caution, uh, keep locked loaded firearms. So she's like, okay, let's fucking go breaks the window goes in gets a crowbar opens that locked cabinet suits up. She puts the like sash of ammo on grabs a shotgun. Let's fucking go. She sees again, like a map of the property on the wall starts heading for the lodge. Oh, and she sees the, um, there's also security camera footage. So she sees like exactly where they're taking faith heads that way. As she makes it there, the girl from Madrid has arrived back the door. She's staying in there waiting. She steps out. She's like, Oh, back for round two. And Grace says, yep, shoots her in the stomach, shoots her in her stomach again, walks right over her, says, say hi to Alex for when she shoots her in the head. Okay. Great. Love it. I love, I truly do love when it's just like, I'm not fucking around. She's like, I don't have to, I'll fucking kill you. Like what you've tried to kill me all day. Like it's, I have a shotgun. You're dead. Love it. Makes it into the lodge. This is the main like clubhouse room where all the people have been watching from. She makes it in there. She shoots her way into the main room where we've got cousin of the Danforths, Elijah would some people. She's like, where the fuck is my sister? She's holding the cousin to gun, but where the fuck is she? He's like, I don't know. I don't know. She's screaming for her faith faith. And in comes the boy from Madrid. Cause now he's up, right? He's like 12 years old, but he holds up two guns and he just starts fucking shooting at her. So she has to dodge that run out. She makes it into the kitchen, locks herself in like a big, like a storage closet in the kitchen. It seemed like it was the freezer, but it's not cold. Yes. Yeah. Okay. Freezer like door handle. Like big, like big metal door with a, with a window, but it's like a big metal door that she shuts it and she like is able to wedge a bar through it to like keep it locked. So she's in there. She's like assessing what she's going to do next. She's out of ammo. She's like, fuck when Titus comes in with faith, pushes her head up against that glass window with a gun to her head. And he's like, grace, this glass might be two inches thick, but I can still blast your sister's brains right all over in front of you. If you don't come out. The jig is up. Ursula is out there. All the remaining people, Elijah would, they're all out there. He's like, I'm going to do it in three, two faith is like grace, stay in there. It's okay. It's okay. Like save yourself. One goes to shoot and Grace is like, okay, okay, okay. I'll come out. If you marry me. Oh, okay. And Titus is like, what? And she says, the woman from Shanghai told me there's a loophole. If I marry you, you get the seat of power. I get to live. This all ends. They all look to Elijah Wood, who's like, gives a little nod. She's telling the truth. And Titus takes a second and he like, well, I mean, we might not be able to get her out of there before dawn. So, okay, I'll do it. I'll marry you. Um, and she says, how do I know you're not going to just shoot me and kill my sister when I come out? And he's like, I swear, I swear I'm going to marry you. She's like, don't swear to me. You fucking shit for brain swear to Mr. LaBale. And he's like, okay, fine. I swear to Mr. LaBale, you'll be safe. Your sister will be safe. She comes out grace of faith hug. Okay. And we see we cut to Ursula and she looks concerned. We cut to grace being brought into a lavish bedroom on this estate and Titus says to her, like, we'll get you cleaned up and ready for the coronation. People have already started arriving. Some like servants in drapey, sea foam, green robes come in with all like trays of beautifying the ingredients and they, you know, are left with, with grace. Cut to grace sitting. She's, she's cleaned up. She's got like a little cut in her cheek, but her, you know, hair is to the point where I was like, oh, she's so much blonder than I thought. She's had like blood on her hair the whole time. She's like, her hair is beautiful and clean and straight. She's got makeup on. She looks stunning, but she's sitting like fully catatonic. She's just like, yeah, we see. I mean, has she even like had a protein bar this whole time? It's fucking nuts. It's like, I truly like your imagine how could how could one she's been this two nights without sleep like this is not so. So Ursula comes in to the room with a couple of glasses of champagne. She's like, I thought we could have a toast. Definitely don't drink champagne right now. That's actually the worst thing you could do makes me sleep beyond a good day. Exactly. I know. She's like, I thought we'd have a toast since we're, you know, about to be family. She sits down with her and she says, you know, I'm, I'm worried about Titus. I have tried my whole life to find the good in him and there's nothing there. And with him in charge, the biggest seed of power. I'm like very scared of what he will do together. Like you and me, we need to, we need to keep him in check. We need to do what we can do to keep him from being who he is. And she says, you know, you're, you're not like us, you know, I actually think we could do a lot of good. You're, you're a good person. Like you still, you're not like us. You still have hope. And Grace looks around. She says, I don't though. You took it from me. Oh, brutal. And Ursula is like, yeah, that, that checks out. Fair, fair, fair. When Titus walks in clearly having overheard everything, he walks up to Ursula and he puts his hands on her throat and he yells at Grace to, she, Grace tries to look away and he's like, no, I want you to watch this. I want you to see what happens when you try to fuck with me. And he is choking her and then he like puts her in a headlock. Ursula says, I love you. And he says in her ear, he's like, no rules against killing a family member. And snaps her neck. And she dies. Sick. He turns to Grace and he says, I can't be controlled. And then he says, see you with the altar. Time to get buried. And he leaves. Oh, she's been really like keeping it together. And as he leaves, she immediately starts being like, like Grace is like freaking out. This would be really, really, really bad. It would be really, really bad. This would be really, really bad. Somehow just keeps getting worse. Just getting worse. We cut you a big culty, dungeony ceremony room. People in the cult are all always ready for a party. They're always ready for a celebration. Always ready. We've got at one end a big magical sort of clock situation, a podium. Elijah Wood with his big book. Faith is up there all cleaned up. There's a many cloaked figures in the audience. The door's open at the far end. Grace comes in looking like the most gorgeous ride of Satan, like all like wedding attire, but all black and like a black veil and it's like long and dramatic. It's such a cool look. I really was like, damn, I want that outfit. She looks really good. She walks across the room. She walks across. There's like in the middle of the floor, this big metal pentagram that she like walks across the pentagram gets up to the front. Faith is like, you don't have to do this. She says, I do. It's the only way, which is a callback to earlier when the last thing that Grace said to Faith, Faith was like, don't leave me. And she says, I have to. It's the only way. So we're right back here. She's doing what she has to do to try to protect her sister. And Elijah Wood puts on a big metal goat hat with long blacks in there. He says, I'm the minister. And he opens his book and we see they've brought in a goat and chained it up. And he says, oh, and the pentagram opens. It's like a actual like like a pit that opens and it's filled with like flies and blood and guts and goat carcasses. This is where all the goats have been sacrificed in this nasty pit. And we are gathered here today to coordinate Titus Danforthos, the new ring of the power owner and also a wedding. And he says, I'm pleased that so many of you were able to make it. And he says Titus, do you pledge to this woman, to Satan in this life and in hell, I do. He cuts his hand. He drops some of his blood in a bowl. Grace, do you give yourself to this man and to this life and in hell? I do. She cuts her hand, blood in the bowl. By the power vested in me by the state of Connecticut. Satan, I now pronounce you married. You may kiss the bride. The whole time she's been like dead faced. He lifts her veil up. He kisses her. But it's awful to watch somebody just like be kissed. And the A, it's done. She's crying. Faith is crying. Elijah Wood hands Titus the ring. He puts the ring on and he's like, yeah, hell Satan. Everyone in the room is going, hell Satan, hell Satan. He's like holding the ring up like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm in charge. I'm in charge. Hell yeah. And then bam. Blood. Knife. Pen. Blade. The. Throat. And he looks up. And Grace is standing over him holding this bloody knife. Pen. And she just starts stabbing. Stabbing. Stabbing. Stabbing. Stabbing. Stabbing. Stabbing. Stabbing. Stabbing. Stabbing. Stabbing. Stabs him. Like so many. Chips. Chips. Chips. Chips. Chips. Chips. Chips. Chips. He's like. Why did he not say this. I mean, who could have ever? And she looks at him and she says, see, it was me who got you. And she says, no rules against killing a family member. Thank you for that. Faith comes up, kicks him down into the pit, he falls and is impaled on a big goat horn, dead, dead, dead. Great, great. All the freaking Satanists in the room are like, ooh, ooh, what? What happens now? What's- Someone look at the book. Elijah would like, always looks like titillated by the stuff she's doing. He's like, oh, something new. Yeah, he's just like letting it happen. He's not interfering. He's just sort of like, these are the rules. I'm just the, I am just the, you know, chief of staff of the devil. I don't make the rules, I just enforce them. And so, oh, but right before she kicked him down, she took the ring off his finger. She holds the ring up and she's like, this makes me, this puts me in charge. And Elijah Wood says, yes it does. She's like, so I can do whatever I want. And he says, yes you can. She's like, huh, I could run this operation. I think I'd do a pretty good job. She puts the ring on her finger and she says to everyone, get on your knees. Okay. They all get on their knees, even the goat. And she says, as the owner of the seat of power, my first official action is to remove myself from this entire fucking organization. She takes the ring off and everyone's like, can she do that? And one of the guys looks at Elijah Wood and he's like, there's actually surprisingly little language about this in the bylaws because nobody ever thought someone would willingly give away this much power. So I'm guessing, yeah, she can. She's holding this ring up and she's like, and you said if someone isn't wearing this ring by dawn, Mr. LaBale will be very upset. And Elijah Wood says, very upset, yes. And they say, and how long until dawn? They look up at their magical clock thing and say about three minutes. And she says, looking at the ring and then she says, choke on it, you inbred freaks. Throws it into the goat buddy pit. And the Satanists are like, oh my God, I want that ring. And they all just start jumping into the pit. Fighting each other for the ring, killing each other for the ring. We're seeing, we're like, there's like dramatic music whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop. Music playing as they're like slow motion, like just absolute chaos of hell. Just going after to kill each other, stabbing each other, throwing goat heads, cover flies, looking for the ring, it goes, somebody has it, oh my God, they get killed, the ring flies, it goes, it was skull of a goat. They have to, chaos. Meanwhile, Grace turns to Elijah Wood, like can we leave? And he says, you're free to go. Great, she and Faith, they unhook the goat, they grab the goat, bring a goat with them. It's cute, oh thank God. They start walking out, they make it, all goats are cute. They make it to the top of the steps at the exit of the room, turn around, as the clock strikes, it's done. Everyone's down in the pit at this point, except for them and Elijah Wood. And Elijah Wood, once again, he grabs his book, he backs up and from in the pit, we hear, boom, blood, boom, boom, boom, boom, and then all of a sudden just, boom, boom. Everyone explodes. We see quickly a flash of Mr. Label, Satan, man appear, look at Grace and Faith and just go like, and then disappear. Grace and Faith turn to each other and she's like, was that just, and they're like, yep. They're also, once again, covered, the explosion from the blood got all over them, which is very funny because they just get covered in blood over and over and over and over. And they were so nice and cleaned up. And they were so nice and cleaned up and they're like, okay, let's go. They walk out, we see Grace grabs a cigarette, Faith grabs like a fucking lollipop or something and they walk out and they walked towards the gate, two ladies all in black with a little goat. They stand at the gates, Grace lights her cigarette and Faith says, I love you. And Grace says, I love you too. Faith says, I missed you. Grace says, well, you won't have to anymore, you're gonna be a real fucking sick of me. And Faith says, do you promise? And Grace says, I do. And hand in hand and hand in goat leash, they walk off, certainly not to get arrested again. And that's the end of the movie. Oh, beautiful. Ready or not three, we need the like. I love it when a horror movie is a family movie. I love it when it's a family movie the whole time. Sisters, sisters, sisters. Hell yeah, wow. Is there gonna be a ready or not three? We asked Samara. We'll see. There better be. That was really fun, Emily, thank you. Yeah, excellent retelling. Was delighted to do it. These movies are fun. Samara Weaving is just really, really fucking great. I like want to see her in so many more things. She's so good. And it was really, it was just great to watch her fucking go, you know? Yeah, really is delightful. And man, what a scream. What a scream. We've never done The Babysitter, which is like one of her first movies. And I saw it like near when it came out and it's great. And I think you guys could probably handle it. It's like a horror comedy that's also like more gory than scary and she's great in that too. Yeah, I spent on my like every time I have to do a recap, I'm like, is it today the day that I'll watch The Babysitter? I haven't done yet, but I will. I'm curious. Yeah, I want to. I really love her. Yeah, she's great. She's also in my favorite scene from Babylon. Yeah, it's really good. She accuses Margot Robbie of icing her nipples between takes. And Margot Robbie is like, that's crazy. I wouldn't cut to her icing her nipples. Oh, it really makes me laugh. Oh my God. Yeah, that was that's insane. And my God, I don't even know. I don't even know. What would readier not three even be? I feel like they would just be more families hidden somewhere or new families. I think it would be have to be Elijah would like trying to recruit families and then and not doing a good job. And LaBelle being like. Die, they all die. Yeah. And so then it would be LaBelle being like the only person I can rely on is Samara Weaving. Yeah, I do think I was like, I do think that you are still pledged to Mr. Bale, even though you like removed yourself and like, does it really work that way? I know it's a perfect way to end the movie, but I was thinking the same thing the whole time. I'm also like, if I can have that much power, you wouldn't want to hold on to it a little bit longer to make sure that like they're not going to kill you. Basically, it did all seem like a pretty, pretty quickly. Faster than that. Faster than that. Thought out plan that with really high stakes. So I also was like, don't you want to think about this but she didn't really have much of a choice. So I guess you might as well just, if you're going to die at least try to take them all down with you, you know. Mm-hmm. And she's learned that power corrupts and that's true. There's no good way to be in that seat. You don't want to have that much power anyway. You don't. What a metaphor for life as all of these movies are. Always. Sometimes a little too much. Sometimes a little too much. But yeah, it's fun. It's, I like to see people, you can really tell that they are really enjoying making these movies, which I really do like. And it seems like, you know, based on our conversation with Smara, which you can hear right now, I think that that's true. And so it's really very fun that they get to make them. And I'm so thrilled that we got to talk to her and that now you get to listen to us do that. Ooh, treats for everybody. What a time to be alive. Yep, it's only good. And it's only good. She also had a lot to say about the goat. So just stay tuned for the goat. That's the most important thing for you to. Obviously. Pay attention to. So here's our interview with Smara Weaving. Enjoy. Enjoy. Hello. Hello. Hello. Y'all did the same hello. Look at these beautiful faces. Thank you very much. I've been the presence of angels. As are we. Thank you so much for joining us. Thank you. Smara, the first question we ask all of our guests is just, could you tell us your relationship to horror movies like starting at the beginning? Like when you were a kid or whenever your first introduction to them was and obviously you're in a lot of horror movies. So take us through the progression. Okay, so to begin with, I was like you, Henley. I didn't want anything to do with watching these things. Get away. It was so scary. Yeah. Because, okay, even this isn't even. This is not a horror movie. My parents took me to see and my younger sister to see 101 Dalmatians and I couldn't. Sure. Sit through it. They had to take me out. There's always a moment in Disney movies that's like genuinely very dark and upsetting. For me, it was Pinocchio. Like way too scary. Do we have, no. What sick freaks are making children? I mean, Glenn Close is so terrifying. No. And then, yeah. Carole Deville, her whole plot line is she's killing puppies. She's killing them. She's killing lots of them to make a coach. I mean, come on. She's killing a lot. If you want to kill 101 Dalmatians. Like literal puppies. This is not a horror movie. Get out of here. It's for four year olds. Four year olds? No, absolutely not. Some sickos in Hollywood. But then I was, I think 12 or 13. You know the time when people are like, oh, parents are leaving. We're gonna put on a scary movie. Oh yeah. My friend wanted to watch The Ring. Oh boy. It's real murder passage. Are you joking? And okay, how creepy is this? Her name is Samara. No. Yeah, that's tough. That's really tough. Her last name is my sister's name. Her name is Samara Morgan. And my name is Samara and my sister's name is Morgan. No, I don't like that. That had to feel personal. No. Get out of here. I have wanted nothing to do with it. Yeah, that's bad. No, thank you. It's so bad. Yeah. But then the universe was like, let's play a sick trick on old Sammy. Let's cast her in a billion horror movies. And force her to watch horror movies until she submits and loves them. And that's what's happened. My first role was this movie called The Baby Sitter and in order to like feel cool on set, I was going, okay, I'm gonna have to watch all these horror movies and all these things that they're making references to. And so I just sat and watched movies. And then I sort of realized, oh, actually, okay. These are, now that I'm 20, I can do this. And I started with like the 80s horror movies. Yeah. They're a little sillier, a little kind of like splashier. Yeah. They have an age, like they've aged very well in that you can see the strings. Yes, yeah, yeah. Like you can see that it's a puppet. You can see that it's not real. But I still, I don't like the swords. I don't like the really gory. I still struggle. That tends to be a line that a lot of people draw, which fair enough, yeah. Yes. Yeah. When it's like brutal torture, it can still get a bit rough. I even still like that. You love it. I love it. I think when you kind of keep going down this path further and further and watching more and more, it's like your tolerance goes up enough. It's like spicy food and you're just like, all right, now I need more. Now I need the sauce. And then you're like, human centipede, let's go. She loves human centipede. We can't even, I know. I know. It's what makes Sammy a... Respect. I know. It's just who I am. I just have to come clean and be true about it. It's not worth being secretive about. Yeah. She did the art on the table. She saw it in theaters and giggling the whole time. The first human centipede is pretty, I mean, yeah. Again, my barometer is whack. Ooh, I love that. But I think it's pretty silly and fun. I have not seen the other two or the other ones because I hear that they get like... Maybe even for me, just like absolutely nasty. I've heard some things. But yes, that's how I was introduced. Bulls of Lee. You've always, you said you've been in a lot of horror movies. What's your favorite part about the experience of being in a horror movie? Because presumably it's more fun than watching them. It's so much fun. It actually makes watching them easier. Yeah, you know, I'm like, oh, I know how they've done this. It's really great. I think it's one of the few genres where a woman gets to be the lead, not only the lead, but gets to be a hero and kick ass. And lose her shit. And lose her goddamn mind. Yeah. And it's so much fun because I don't really want to be the girlfriend of the hero. I want to be the fucking hero. I want to take on the man. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, in horror, you get to do that all the time. So yeah, let's go. This is something that is, I love about Ready or Not, which again, I haven't seen because I'm too scared, but I've heard the recap of the first one. Is like the idea of also the competent victim, you think that this person is gonna be out of their league, this person's out of their depth, they have too much going on. How can they face up to this threat? And then to watch your character just kick ass, take me is like so satisfying. It's like cathartic, you know? Yeah. Yeah, I liken it to, because there's, I think there's like maybe one European world war female movie that's about a woman, I think. I had to find it. Real needle in a haystack there. Needle in it, like where are you? Yeah. But I love like 1917, all quiet on the West in front, like all of them. I get to be a soldier in horror. Yeah. I want to make that movie. I want to like be running from the gums and, you know, like trying to dodge minds and stuff, but no one's making that. Come on. But I get to sort of explore that in this genre, because it's not like she's, she's not like a trained assassin. She's not an action, you know, hero by any means. She's just like, you know, and these soldiers, they were like, their dad's a baker and they are a paper boy and suddenly they have to pay for it. You know, you just have to do it. You just have to do it. So that's what fascinated me. And getting to explore that in this genre is so fun. And okay, so to that, we've talked a lot. We've obviously covered a lot of horror movies when you listen to and watch a lot of horror movies. You see a lot of different kinds of violence and different kinds of fighting, a lot of weapons at play in just ready or not, ready or not to. A lot of different means of killing and hurting people. Hell yeah. We've all, and this interview will come out after our recap. So one, an industrial washing machine hadn't seen that before, hadn't conceived of that, right? We've all picked our like weapon of choice, were we in that sort of scenario? So with the experience you now have from these movies, do you know what your weapon of choice would be if you had to pick one? I mean, this is so lame, but I think you just have to go gum. Yeah, I mean, that's a good one. It's a pretty straightforward one. Yeah, it's a good one. Probably, it was really, there's a point where like, I just get to shoot a shotgun in a chick's face. Which I absolutely, this is another thing that drives us. Yeah. Henty gun. Yeah, of course. This is a different sphere. Guns are not good, but there is something quite that's sort of about to change. I agree. There's something really. What if I'm doing that? But if it's not, if we take guns out of the equation and like something, okay, this was like my house. Right, yes. This is a great way to do it. Look around you, what would you use? Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Oh my God, I just have like breast pumps and like. Under the right circumstances, I bet you could find a way out. Yeah, maybe like a smothering device. Yeah, yeah. It could be used. I have like, still the nipple covers. If we do anything with those. Those could be vicious, absolutely fatal. I have nipple butter. I have a breast pump. I have baby bottles. I have. I mean, dipper guys are pretty hefty. I feel like right under the right. Yeah, do you have a, I have a, this diaper trash can right behind me, which is very. Oh yeah, I have a too, is it good? You know what? It's actually great, but it broke like a year in, which is really annoying. So not to lift the top off, which like kind of defeats the purpose of it. But that's very heavy. It's very strong. It's a good, if it was full of baby shit, it'd be like diversion before, you know. Hit someone with it and then pile on a bunch of dirty diapers. I haven't done that before. They're like, let's make it happen. They're like, and they've got like, yeah. Yeah. And then I'm just running with my silver nipple. Perfect. Like Madonna. I think you just wrote a perfect scene. Congratulations by the way. You had a baby recently. No, you haven't. You're about to have a baby. If we pan down, I have a eight month baby in me right now. How are you feeling? I feel good, you know. I'm actually really ungrateful, but my really good friend is pregnant at the same time. And I have to keep lying to her saying how miserable I am. Oh yeah. Because she is having a rough time. She's having everything. And I'm going, yeah, man, dude. Saying. No, we've got so much. Oh, everything. Oh, no, my hormones. I'm going, I feel like I'm fine. So sorry, Ash, if you're listening. Well, congratulations. I have two little babies, two kids. And we've been doing this podcast for almost six years now. So I've like gone through the process of hearing about horror movies before having kids and hearing about horror movies after having kids. And Sammi and Emily will tell you that my reactions became a lot stronger after becoming a mom. Yeah, birthing is a horror movie. Yep. Absolutely. What women go through is a complete horror show. But it will be not in charge of everything. This is what this is what I've been radicalized by motherhood. We need to be in charge. Matriarchy, a SAP. But I wanted to ask, though, like, has being pregnant, like, has that affected your relationship to horror movies at all? Or has that not really happened yet? Because, I mean, you're still like early stages of everything. I don't think so. You're probably not watching me. Do you think you would just be less scared of in general? OK, let's talk it a year. And I want to know. Well, a lot of horror movies, we weren't really paying attention until after Henley got pregnant and had kids that pretty much most horror movies involve bad things happening to children. Oh, oh, yes, I have experienced this. Yes, I have experienced just being hyper aware of. Kids shit and going, it's everywhere. It's everywhere. I know the new meaning to it. Yes, yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that. But there's a because it's like there's so many new fears that have just unlocked for me. Yeah. And there's a new heightened emotional like intensity when you see that. Completely. I'm sure if I saw weapons now, I'd be a bit. Right. Affected. Yes. It was hard for me to. I love. Running. Weapons. Running. What photo was that based off of? Wasn't it based off of famous? Oh, I have no idea. Was it? We missed it, I think. Hmm. I should look that up. But yeah, I often feel guilty because I have to describe these things to Henley and I'll say sorry, sorry, Henley, some kids stuff coming up. There's kids stuff coming up. It's good stuff. Yeah. Just a random question about ready or not to. But well, and both ready or not, you're covered in blood in a lot of the time. A lot in both of them, which is very funny and makes me laugh every single. Yeah. But I'm just wondering what they're covering you with and like, is that very uncomfortable or do you just you're just used to it now because you're just covered in it all the time? I'm just it really tickles me. So I'm curious to know more about that. It's not comfortable. Yeah, I mean, that would have been my my guess. It's it's really sticky. Yeah. It tastes delicious. Basically caramel sauce. OK. And you have to. I have to remember not to like lick my lips. Aided on camera because you wouldn't. That would change the character. Yeah. If you remember that it's meant to be like horrible blood and you should be spitting it out, but I really want to be like, yeah. Between takes between takes. Like the blood. Yeah. Anything that's fresh blood is there's a different level of blood. There's like the dried blood and then there's the like taped blood and there's the artery blood and then there's the more like the whole little bit of detail. Yeah. Incredible. There's blood palates that make a partisan prosthetic artist tough and they have all the different like more blue, more like it's incredible. The stuff that they've painted on me in the morning is less is less uncomfortable because it's alcohol based. So it just sticks to you and the worst thing is you feel it dry. Sure. But when you have to get a full. Face of someone which happens a lot of you. Yeah. They were nicer on this one. They do it at the end of the day. Oh, that's nice. That makes sense because it's also like, what are we going to reset after that? That's a lot. You get one take. You get one take for a combustion. That makes sense. So on the first one, the first one on ready or not to it was the first time they'd used this blood cannon because. They had a cat. It's a fucking cannon. Yeah. I didn't know. On the. Yeah. On the first one. OK. The first movie, it was just like a dude with a plinth and a bag of goo with an explosion in it and. It blew up. This they had a full viewing where everyone had to like come into the production office. There was like these six dudes and they built this like. Yeah, they called it a blood cannon. It was like five canisters with you could point it different ways and you could put the levels up and down and it was just the most high tech thing. And everyone was very excited about it, but they didn't have to stand in front of it. I was going to say. It's not really scary to be the blood cannon operator unless you have to be on the receiving end. They get to blow a bunch of goo at a check. They're coming to the next time. They. But they the first time they did it. Because you do only get one take because they can't reset it because it's a whole room gets covered. Yeah. Yeah. What? The directors weren't that far away in the monitors when they did it the first time. It's me on the floor in a hospital and. It goes off and they start freaking giggling. And I have to keep straight face and be like so terrified and afraid. I can hear them giggling going. They're probably like used to that. They're sick, you know, they're like. You said they have a gun twisted. They're like. Absolutely twisted. I'm going. No, I'm really like I can't. I cannot break because. You can't do it again. We can't do it again. So. That was that was that was intense. Yeah. Was there always a plan as far as you knew for a sequel? Because it felt like the first one ended in a pretty like, well, that's just that. You know, where we go from here. It's kind of, you know, everybody blew up. So what do you do? No, it was a one off. It was a turn we had. There was we were going. Yeah, we had a great time making this. This is so weird and wonderful, but there's no way anyone's going to. Watch it. Are they let alone make it like it wasn't even a whisper of a thought that we would make a second one. Until it got the response it had people. Loved it. And then it kind of had another. Resurgence, I think during COVID. Suddenly there was a lot of like people wearing wedding dresses at how like Halloween and stuff. Yeah. And I've had this weird. People. Yeah, found it. Then there's like tattoos in my face on people's shins and things. Wild. I'm so then it became a real conversation and it was surreal because we really. We're just excited that we could bring the crew back together. We really didn't think it would ever. Happen. Yeah, it seems so fun. I know like. You've worked with the directors before and Catherine Newton was brought in. They she had worked with them before and like this cast is so great. And I wanted to ask a question. This is just for my own peace of mind. Sean Hattosi is so scary. Oh my God. And I've seen Animal Kingdom as well, where he is like terrifying in that as well. Can you just assure me that he is not like that in real life? That's so funny. You find him scary. I don't know what he was getting so upset because I just kept laughing at him. He does. He really made me giggle. I think partly because he's so hot and like you kind of made this choice to like. Look at me like he wanted to eat me, which I think on script. It's terrifying, but sure, on the other side of it going. Okay. I was like a giggly. He's like licked his lips and like look at me and I'm like bound to a chair with a gag in my mouth. I'm like, okay, what's happening? I'm not expecting. But his choice is like just averted my expectation so much because he did. He brought this energy of like a. Like a school boy who's not allowed to play with his toys energy. That's yeah. But Napoleon complex kind of. It was really, it took me by surprise because he didn't play it like, oh, I'm evil and I'm in control. He sort of had this like combustion energy and you didn't know when he was going to like scream and throw his toys out the frame, which I just found so. Bummy. But yeah, he is an absolute darling. And if you want. To. Change your. Perspective. Your perspective of him perception. Yeah, go watch the pit because he's just a woofy doctor. And oh, great. Perfect. I can't do medical stuff, but. Yeah. But yeah, by the way, same, but just watch YouTube clips of him just being a sexy doctor. Yes. Yeah, the perfect. He's just saving lives and being ripped. And he's like, yeah, he's wonderful, wonderful. Love perfect. Palette cleanser. Do you have a favorite memory from. Shooting this. Second installment. Oh, that's a great question. I have a lot of good men's on this. What's a. A goat in a scene. Oh, yes, there was. Yeah. Winnie the goat was her name and there was one take and it's in the movie. So I think I tell everyone to bow. I'm like, Neil. And the goat. Neil. What a good laughter. He was trying to do that or she. No, she just I think she like looked around and was like everyone's getting on one knee and then just went down. And so if you rewatch it, you can see. Yeah, I'm feeling it's so cute. And it's amazing. She didn't want to be left out. She was like, what are we doing? I can do it. Sweet. There's like a hundred people kneeling and then she just goes with them and it's perfect. Could not have planned it better. Oh yeah. And I assumed that was planned. A train. A hundred percent. That's really that's adorable. You're saying animals are magic. Animals are magical beings and we need to treat them as such. And this is another. I mean, we can I can't wait to tell everyone I know about this story. It's amazing. And I scram I go get on your knees and they all and then this goat just went. OK, man. Sure, it's amazing. Oh, but she was really scared of my dress. I think she thought it was a snake or something. She wouldn't. Oh, it's for you. One of my cats is scared of any time I have sleeves. So, you know, I got it. It's hard to do. Same work. Yeah, it can be tough. Besides being covered in blood and how uncomfortable that was, what was the hardest thing about shooting this movie? What did you was there anything specifically challenging on this one? It seems like it was probably a lot of physical exertion. Yeah. Yeah. I this was just an insane thing that happened. But two weeks before shooting, I threw my back out really bad. Damn, terrible. And it had happened a few times before, but I didn't realize how severe the injury was. And so I have a dead disc and three bulging discs. Oh, no. Yeah. And I had to kind of just ignored it. It was your. I mean, you know, yeah. And then you turn 30 and your body's like, I'm not producing. We're not producing collagen anymore. So all that stuff is going to start. No, I couldn't walk. I couldn't sit. I couldn't stand like my husband had to like carry me to the shout. Like it was really bad. So I was like kind of hoping. Because it had happened a few times before, but not as bad. But, you know, you just it'll be bad for a few days and then it will be fine. So I'm like kind of lying to everyone going, I'm so excited. Coming to be there. They're going, when are you flying? I'm like, oh, we had to push the flight. Totally. Totally. I had that to do with me. Just regular stuff. Just have to put a few things in order. But I'll be right there. No problem. It was not getting better. I had to get an epidural. Oh, my God, steroids. I was seeing all these different doctors. It was the swelling on my spinal cord was so much that I just I couldn't move. Good Lord. It's awful. I do fly to Toronto, which. Thank God my assistant came with me. He was so high. Thank you. I landed and I was like, hello Toronto. I had to go and do a camera test and they saw for real how injured I was. And it was. So stressful because you had so much action in this movie and I couldn't walk or fit or do I couldn't do anything. And two days before we started shooting, the swelling on my spinal cord went down and suddenly I could like walk again. It was like the Hollywood Gods when we got here. The only body sometimes knows when it needs to be called to action. It's like a time to time to get to it and like figure it out. But so the whole shoot, I was just so like all of us were just so glad I could do anything. And then I'm like swinging keyboards and yeah, yeah, bashing people up in no time. So we were just really excited. You could do anything. Yeah, I would never I would never have known. It was it was bad. It was really bad. So is do we think there's going to be a Reddier not three now? I feel like they each keep ending in ways that's like, well, this is it. I don't know. Winnie the goat back. I don't know what happens to Winnie the goat, but now she's with Winnie. She's she can keep winning. I we have a joke, which it's not this is not going to be the third movie, but I kind of hope it would be it would be amazing. Is if the third one we just piss off all the horror fans and we just make like a rom-com of two sisters like. This is my hope and dream for horror movies. I always want there to be. I always want the sequel to be a completely different genre, completely different. I don't know what it means, Catherine, just to like, let's go have a lovely holiday like a girl's road trip movie with I would get to watch that movie. I would get to watch that. Please. I mean, like meet two brothers and like, oh, there's a miscommunication. Yes, it's forgetting Sarah Marshall. Or maybe it can be like a little nod to something. It can be like Bob and Star like. What's just that? Yes. All right. Fingers crossed. Yeah, putting it up to the Hollywood gods. We're sending it up to the Hollywood gods. Right. They would be riot. So people would be so annoyed. Well, Samara, thank you so much for joining us. This has been so fun. And we again are going to be forcing all of our listeners to go see Reddy or not to here I come in addition to over your dead body, which comes out later this year, April 24th.

And truly, I feel like all of these, like I feel like even our more scared listeners can handle them. There's like and there's a lot of like fun plays with genre, I think, in all of them that there's there's a little something for everybody. Yeah, definitely Carolina Carolina for the man I I felt very lucky to get to watch Carolina Carolina. I really enjoyed it. It's such a good movie. It's so good. You are so good in it.
