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 horror 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 most of the time. That's the case. Will that be the case this week? What if it was and this was just a weird thing? There's simply no way to know right now. We want to keep you on your toes. But if you want to find out right now, which I completely understand because this is... We've really built a tension. There are timestamps in the show notes because first I need to ask my friends, my co-hosts, Emily and Henley, did anything scary happen to you this week? Just real quick, I've been having a lot of back pain and I hold a lot of tension in my neck and shoulders. I have a lot of knots. This is normal. The exact middle of my back, which is not normally where I feel back pain. I've been like, what happened? What did I do? Was it that really intense massage you got? No, because that was after because I was having the back pain. I was having this back pain and in my head I was like, I went to... I protested on the 30th and I was like, maybe I was like... Protesting too hard. I was protesting too hard. But I was like, I was standing for a while. Maybe I was being weird. So then I got a massage because of my back pain and it absolutely made it worse. But it was... He just pushed me way too hard as I talked about it in the 28 years later. Bone tumble ups. I was like, that's probably what it was. Couldn't figure it out. I was like, what is this weird back pain? And then the other day, Sammy, for Christmas you give to me a gorgeous puzzle and I've been really working on it because I'm trying to de-stress and not be on my screen so much. And also, I get really tunnel vision about a puzzle when I have a puzzle to be completed. It is the... I can't think about anything else. So I sat down on my floor to do my puzzle as I do and I mean it was like... Oh! You're like, that's why. Yep. Oh! Ow! My back hurts and I fucking hurt my back from doing a puzzle and it doesn't make me feel great. Well, this reminds me... Maybe this happens to you guys. I looked it up on Reddit and apparently it is a thing. And I similarly get a lot of back pain from folding laundry which is like... Also doesn't make me feel good because it's like 10 minutes of folding things and I'm like, ow, ow! It really hurts my back because it's just like your arms are in front of you at like a weird angle and it doesn't matter if I sit up straight or it's just like, I don't know. I don't know exactly what it is but it's just a position we're not used to being in. This is huge. This is huge. This is going to break the conversation about sharing chores wide open. It's like, which chore causes you physical bodily harm? Yeah, yeah. Because I feel this way about washing dishes. Like washing dishes for a while makes my back hurt. Yeah, because you're standing at the sink. Yeah, with folding laundry it's like doesn't bother me and I really think that washing dishes, it's just because I have a weak core I'm pretty sure. And I kept trying to activate my core all week to be like, I guess that has to... Across the board for all three of us that's probably... But actually that's like a reason I don't like washing dishes is because that makes my back hurt after a while. Yeah, what the hell? That's why people have those mats under their kitchen sinks that are like squishy and supportive. I don't have one of those. I have that at my standing desk. I guess I could move it over when I go to the kitchen. Can you fold laundry maybe? Yeah, maybe if I folded laundry standing up that I'm going to give that a try because I actually have a lot of... Yeah, maybe try doing it at your standing desk. Fold laundry on your desk. Wow, that sounds incredibly ergonomic. I'm going to try that. So... I'll keep you guys posted. Please do, please do. Okay, scary thing that happened to me this week. I mean, literally it's just what's going on in the world. Pretty usual. I did have a friend text me like this was like a pretty tough week for me or like for all of us or something. And I was like, why? What happened? And then I know the Epstein files. And I was like, oh, yeah, yeah. I actually like we're all just so freaking numb. I was, Joel and I went to dinner the other night and I was like, the thing is, if I, if I let myself begin to actually think about the Epstein files, I start to feel like a Tim Robinson character and that I'm like, how are we to... What? Like I'm like, it's sad. It's like it's so it's actually like the craziest fucking shit ever. And and and we're just like, oh, yeah. Oh, that stuff that's in there. That's the worst thing you've ever heard. That's true. That's about the president. Oh, yeah, whatever. Like I'm like, but it's why I like actually can't think about it because it makes me like freak out. I know. I'm I am like deep, too deep into it now. Like I know too much. I've seen too much. I don't like what I've seen. I don't like what I know. I don't know what to do with it. And like, it just is true and it just is true and we know it. And it's like, what is it? Was it so poorly handled on purpose or the victims not redacted on purpose? Like, or is that literally just incompetence? It just makes your brain spin in a million different directions that are, yeah, again, not helpful for a living like day to day life. Um, so I could speak for hours about the Epstein list. Um, Tim has been a main person who is what the listeners want. And that's what and so that's what we'll be doing. Every, every single night, it's like I it's almost like I black out and then come to and Tim is like, you've been talking to me about this for three hours. And he's like, I'm on board. Like I'm right there with you, but also like maybe we need to stop and then we'll be brushing my teeth and I'll be like, one more thing, just one more thing. I'm thinking about, um, I won't do that to you guys here. I will just say that one actionable thing that I'm doing. Um, so if this inspires anyone else to do it too, great. I'm going to be a poll worker. So I'm going to train to be a poll worker. I talked to a great idea. I talked to a woman about it this morning and it made me feel like, okay, great. This is like one thing I can do. It's pretty straightforward. It takes, you know, sometime you have to do some training and then obviously, you know, you have to work the day of. But it's pretty straightforward. And one thing she was saying is that, um, it's also a really amazing way to witness what actually happens on election day, like on the day of the elections. You see, like the amount of bipartisan support it takes to actually get this done. And how much, um, it's, it's a good way to combat a lot of the misinformation that this administration is trying to push that like fraud is everywhere and that all these people are voting who should not be voting. Um, which is we all know, like is not true because it's been disproven in the court of law over and over again. However, it does help by saying to like physically witness it and be there and watch the process happen and see like, yeah, that's his, it's nonsense. Anyway, so I'm going to do that, which is making me feel that's like one actionable thing. I don't know, just trying to collect the things we can do because honestly, like Emily, what you're speaking to, of turning into a Tim Robinson character, I kind of feel like we have to do that. Like, I have to do that for my own mental health because if I suppress this, if I repress, if I push it down and pretend like it doesn't matter, I think it'll actually make me go crazy. So, and like we should, these things should get a reaction out of us because they are awful and completely insane and we should treat them as such. Yes. Yes. Which is all, oh my God. Oh, I could talk about it for so long. We won't. We won't. This is the last thing I'll say. Last thing I'll say one thing about a bonus Epstein files. The Patreon. I'm sorry. I would say, I would say too many things. One thing that is so true about like how power is maintained and perpetuated, especially power that is, you know, white supremacy and whiteness is so much of that has been taking our like natural reaction, our natural anger towards things that is like our body knows is wrong. Our body feels it and like twisting it, turning it on its head, telling you Oh, it's immigrants that you should be mad at. Well, telling you to silence it, telling you it's inappropriate to act that way. It's inappropriate to like make a scene. It's inappropriate. It's like dairy. Pennywise. Turning us all into like people who are like, oh yeah. I don't look over there. I look over there. It's don't react to that. Actually, keep going head down. Yeah. No, I actually, it's very powerful metaphor of Stephen King. Like, unfortunately, maybe you can be right about one thing, but um, uh, but yeah, it's this idea that like to have an emotional reaction to something is weakness is really actually helping these like powers that are hurting us stay in place. Yeah. Um, and I am fucking angry. I'm just down near the fire. The fire was if it, we're so close to you guys. We are so close. February 17th. It's gonna be so annoying. All year long. Uh, yeah, I'll start being annoying. I've never been annoying a day in my life, but when the fear. Here it comes for the first time ever. Everybody get ready for me to be annoying for the very first time. Nobody will have seen it coming. Okay. Well, my, my scary things, I have two things, two things that I'm a real broken record about. So shocker. I'm going to talk about my cats. And then I'm going to talk about mosquitoes. Okay. And first up cats. This has happened to me before, but I live in a new place now and my cats have accidentally peed outside of the litter box, not in a behavioral way, but just because they're big cats and sometimes they're a little friggin butts hang over the side of the litter box. So they pee literally like right outside. Jason. Yeah. Yes. They're trying to get it in there. And I had the lid, the covering lid, but one of my cats has asthma and I feel bad making him go into like a literal enclosed space with piss and shit. Anyway, so we're trying to figure that out, but I scrubbed this whole fucking thing. It's in my office. In my office closet is where the litter boxes are. I've cleaned it. I feel like really thoroughly, it's still really smells like cat pee in here and I'm dry, it's driving me crazy. And so I'm going to have to take it all out and clean it all again. And it's just like one of the worst smells in the world. It cats are so stinky. Cats are the stinkiest. Their poop is also really smelly. Yeah. So stinky. But I kind of prefer the poop to the pee. Prefer the poop to the pee. I prefer the poop to the pee. Like the pee is just the lingers. Well, it's like it's like cigarette smoke burns your nose. It's like it like gets into your brain. Like the pee is like you choke on it gets into your brain and it stays there. Yeah. Yuck. So that's pretty scary. Wish me luck. I really really should. After this, going to like get on my freaking hands and knees and scrub everything. Um, and then mosquitoes, just a announcement that I got my first mosquito bites of 2026. This week, I got one on my face. No. And two on my legs, normal spot. That's where they usually like to go. Ankle biters. Face and hands are unforgivable to me. Face was really bad at dinner. And I saw the motherfucker that did it. And I reacted so quickly, instantly killed it with the menu. Nice. It's big. This is bigger than the usual ones. It was like quarter sized. Are they getting bigger? Well, he lives at a restaurant that gets lots of eating. Oh, and then the server came and collected our menus. And I was like, you should know that I did use this menu to kill a mosquito. And it's corpses on the back. She's like, okay, yeah, I'll throw I'll throw this one in the trash. They keep telling me. Oh, made me laugh. So anyways, it's just scary because it's fucking February and there's already mosquitoes. What the? The weather has also been really wild. Well, because it's been rainy and they like rainier and then it's hot again. Cool. Well, like it's 84 today. It's going to be 66 on Tuesday and it's going to rain. Confusing times. You guys, it's zero degrees here. Yeah, I know it's so cold there. What the hell? And it feels like negative 12, which is like does it? I could not tell you what that feels like at a certain point. We're just talking about cold. It's just out, out, out. When you go outside, it's like, Owie, Owie, Owie, Owie, Owie. Below zero, it's like painful. It doesn't normally get that cold there. No, we're having a weird cold freeze. This is unusual. Ah, everything is. We're not going to go there. Well, on the plus side, probably no mosquitoes. In that weather, I think that they're all incubating underground and they're about to like emerge. Yeah, I mean, they'll be back for sure. But you just like at this moment, just it's good every once in a while to think about the thing that's not bothering you right now. Like sometimes. So for example, Sammy, it's not negative 12. It's not negative 12. Mosquito gotcha. But it's 80 degrees outside. That's actually crazy. It's 80 degrees outside here and it is zero degrees there. It's a big shift. One thing I do pretty regularly is I'll say, oh, I have no cuts inside of my mouth right now. How oh, that is I try to remind myself to. Damn, that is a really good refrain. I have no cuts inside of my mouth right now because. And what do you say? What do you say when you do have cuts inside of your mouth? What do you tell yourself? I have another fight right now. Another day in the life. Yeah. Yeah, I guess so. If that's true. My back doesn't hurt from puzzling. I don't have a UTI. Oh, God. That's what it's got to be. Those are the only two comparable things. I have no cuts inside of my mouth. But if you do, I have no UTI. And if you have both. Oh, God bless you. Stay strong. Stay strong. You gotta stay home. You can't get out of bed. You got to stay in bed. No. You got to take care of yourself. You got to watch your wrist to cats. You got to drink some soup. Lord, Lord. I hope there's absolutely nobody in the world with a UTI and cuts inside of their mouth. Nothing too salty or citrusy because it's going to hurt those cuts in your mouth. It's going to hurt those cuts. A mild, creamy soup. Thank you. Oh, okay. Well, guess what? Freakin' surprise, surprise. Sammy did not watch this. Weeks Scary Movie. So another freaking scary thing that happened to me is that I watched the movie. I did it. Yay, Emily. I watched this week's movie, which is Send Help. Ooh. Send Help is a new release. It came out January 30th, 2026. It is currently in movie theaters, directed by Sam Raimi, written by Damien Shannon and Mark Swift, starring, oh, baby, Rachel McAdams, Dylan O'Brien, Idle Ismail, Xavier Samuel, Chris Pang and Dennis Haysbert. I remember him. He's in this movie. Wow, you guys. Wow. What do you know about this movie? Too much. So I won't say. Yeah. Sammy's Seen the Trailer, which we will be watching at the end because it spoils some things. Sammy also maybe knows some other things. I don't know. That was cryptic, but. I'm just very excited to see Xavier Samuel, AKA Riley Beers. He is, of course, of Twilight Eclipse fame. I don't know if you guys remember, but he was also the guy from the Scary Prom movie. What was that called? The loved ones, the like torture porny prom movie. That one. Haunt me for the rest of my life. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Didn't like that. Yeah. To me, he will always and only be Riley Beers. Yeah, fair. And then I just had to say that I just saw Dylan O'Brien in a movie called Twinless where he plays twins that he's so good at. So I'm just. I need to see it. I don't think I'd ever seen him in anything and I am now a huge Dylan O'Brien. You never saw a maze runner? I never saw a maze runner, but he had a great. He got like insanely injured on the set of maze runner. I remember that stunt that went wrong and he was on top of a moving car and the like harness didn't work and he got hit by another car and had like a concussion, facial fractures. He had to have reconstructive surgery. I remember they like delayed filming. Like really wild. That is an insane thing to experience. And then to be like back to it. He's great, man, not because of that. So great. I am I am truly like it's been a while since I've watched someone I've like never seen in something and I'm immediately a huge fan. I am such a huge fan. You got to watch Twinless. He's I will. He's plays twins in it. So it's the price of one. Oh, incredible. And did that when did that movie come out this year as well? I mean, sorry, because we're in we've talked about this before 2025 was like a year of getting the same actor to play to role. We happened a lot and that kind of stuff just freaks me out when we're like in a moment, we're like, why are we all doing that twins now? We're all doing twins. We're all doing. Stop looking here. Stop looking. Yep. But I love him and no freaking surprise. I love Rachel McAdams. I love Rachel McAdams. Do you love Rachel McAdams? I do. Yes. I'm obsessed with Rachel McAdams. I do feel like she's like America's sweetheart. It I realized in in how big of an emotional reaction I've had lately to reach make Adams that I think we all have. And I'm like, why is that? I think she's wonderful. But so does everyone. And I'm like, wow, good for her. I think she's America's sweetheart. Yeah, well deserved. She's definitely in the running. I think her career has been kind of confusing because she's so she makes confusing choices. She's so famous. But what has she what is she famous for? I mean, it means still mostly famous for the two things that made her famous, the notebook and Mean Girls, which came out the same year. I'm pretty sure. Yeah. But that's and and what's that called wedding crashers wedding crashers. Yeah. Well, my favorite Rachel McAdams movie is about time, which I do need to see because it's also Donald Lucan. And also my one of my favorite Rachel McAdams is are you there? God, it's me, Margaret. Yeah, that's such a good one. So she's just she just makes you feel good to see. She feels very real. She's very real and natural. And then she's also in Aloha, which is unfortunate. But unfortunate. I'm just forget about that one. Yeah. She's yeah, she's I just I really love her. And I really I really spun out. Not spun out, but just she got a her star on the Walk of Fame recently. Yes. Yes. And in that, I was like, let me look up. So because it was before I saw sent help and I was like, let me look up some stuff about Rachel McAdams. She's like back on my mind and I love her. And I went in and she was 47 and I was like, oh my God. She's stunning. Oh, she hasn't aged. I don't understand. No, she hasn't aged and she also still looks again. Like we don't need to go on this round. But like I don't she she probably has had some work done. She's probably had some some maintenance done. But like she looks like she has aged, but also not aged. It's really it's she makes a real argument in my mind for just like genetics in a way that I honestly find soothing because at the end of the day, it's like, what are we going to do? You know? Yeah, yeah. I mean, what are we supposed to do? We could fix it. We could freak out. We could buy all the things we could do all the stuff. But like, you know, whatever, man. But I love her. I love to look at her. I love to watch her in things. She really is just so talented. She's so funny. I loved her in this. The movie is for most of it just her and Dylan O'Brien, which is so fun. And they are great together and they're both great and I'm huge, huge fans. Great. I know nothing about this movie. The only thing I know about it is like I've seen still images of it. You know, which I didn't even know was Rachel McAdams for so long because she's covered in blood and mud or whatever the hell. Mud. She looks intense. Blood and mud. Blood and mud. Just remembered or rather looked up on IMDb Dennis Haysburg. I remember from 24. I was like, what like 90s or early 2000s TV show was he in? And it's 24. That's why I remember. Isn't he also the all state guy? That seems right. Yeah. Yeah. That's what I know him from because I didn't watch 24. But I have seen commercials. Wait. Oh, and a reminder that Emily, you'd be obsessed with 24. You and Joel should binge watch 24. We should watch 24. I feel like that would be a good, like after or dinner time. OK, well, dinner time is for Bobby Flay. So right. Right. After dinner time, after dinner time. But yes, we'll take it under review for. OK, again, not while we eat because that's sacred for cooking for B, B, F, B Bobby Flay. Some trivia about Sand Help has a 93 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, a 76 on Metacritic and a 7.3 on IMDb. Nice. Budget of 40 million box office, 36.7 million. It'll get it'll hit his budget. It came out just a little over a week ago as of this recording. Yeah, I think it's doing well in theaters. So hopefully it get that box office up higher. Australian survivalist expert, Kylie Fornow was hired to consult in the film helping Rage Mac Adams until no brain realistically look as though they're actually surviving on a deserted island spoiler. She built the camp shelter, various tools, weapons and survival items. And she also taught Rage Mac Adams how to make fire and collect drinking water. I wish I wanted to teach me that. Yeah, we should all learn this. This is Sam Raimi's first horror film as a director since Drag Me to Hell. I was going to say, like original Sam Raimi. What a treat. What a treat. He also specifically really wanted to work with Rage Mac Adams again after directing her in Doctor Strange, one of the Doctor Strange. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Manges. Multiverse of madness. Multiverse of madness. And so like specifically, that movie was wanted her in this role. Cookie movie. This film was originally announced in 2019 with Sony set to distribute during the COVID-19 pandemic. Sony wanted to release the film exclusively on a streaming platform. But Sam Raimi refused any shot the project around for years. 20th Century Fox, or I guess 20th Century Studios. I don't even know if it's 20th Century Fox anymore. I added that in. I think it says 20th Century Studios. I just started talking about that for the next 45 years. 20th Century Studios finally picked it up in 2024, promising Raimi a full theatrical release. So let's hope they hit that box office and make it worth it. I think it was. It's very fun to see these kinds of movies and theaters. Yeah. So. Was it a full theater? It was not, but I did see it on a Saturday morning at 10.45. OK, OK. So. Not primetime. It's not primetime. But it's not primetime. One of my favorite times to go. I do love to see a movie at that time as well. But that's what all the trivia I've got. Great. Um, let's just freaking get right into it. I'm curious. I got to know. 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 HomeServe comes in. If I was a regular homeowner, I would definitely use HomeServe. Regular homeowners insurance usually doesn't cover a lot of the day to day wear and tear. Plumbing failures, HVAC breakdowns, electrical issues. You're often on your own for those. So that's where HomeServe comes in. It's like a subscription for your home for as little as 4.99 a month. They've got your back. Repairs can hit fast and hard. You could be searching for a contractor in a panic, or you could already be on the phone with HomeServe's 24 seven hotline scheduling a repair with 4.5 million customers of 4.8 out of five post repair ratings and an A plus triple B rating.

Your first year terms apply on covered repairs. This past weekend I did my annual spring closet reset and I just feel so much lighter after getting rid of all of the items I had that aren't the best quality. 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 their menu 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. I think my notes are pretty good. But I may have forgotten your favorite moment, your favorite line. If you saw this movie and I only say that because as I was taking notes and Joel was helping me, I had forgotten a part that he really liked and I put it into my notes. But just know that like I would have missed it. So it's it's, you know, just possible that I've done the same to you. I'm not going to be like, I'm not going to be like, I'm not going to be like, it's, you know, just possible that I've done the same to you and you're not my husband, so sorry. We begin an elevator dings open where loves elevator, Sam Remy. You know, or does he or does he I don't know why that came into my mind as like, what a Sam Remy stamp of, I don't know, I don't know. Sorry, I don't know where that came from. Let's keep going. It felt like it's not true. It felt like you knew it. It just came out. It just came. It was almost like a deep down. It was like, what's a memory? Love's elevator. That makes me feel like it must be true. I think it's true. Otherwise, why would you have said it? I don't know. I haven't. We are on a woman's shoes. Some real beat up like oxfords, but round like clown shoes, but small. But do you know the kind of shoes I mean? No. Yeah, like like saddle shoes, but brown. Saddle shoes, but brown, but no cutouts. You know, right? Solid, solid, solid brown saddle shoes, but they're green. They're green. I'm hoping we're getting this level of detail for absolutely everything. Sometimes I don't know. The shoes are just it's like they're they cut the they got your attention to her vibe. It's like important that they're like it's like these are just technically office shoes, but they're just like fucking shoes. You know, they're not cute. Yeah, you're not like trying to be aesthetically pleasing for anyone. She's just herself. So we're on these. We're on these shoes. They're walking through an office, kind of your classic like a lot of cubicles situation. We're looking at this desk. We see calendars, inspirational quotes. This is a quote from Helen Keller, like very sort of cheesy office vibes. We see a hand adjust a little placard of like the name plate in the cubicle, saying Linda little. Come up and it's Rachel McAdams. Important to note they are trying so hard. And I do think succeeding in not making us think she's the most beautiful woman on earth. Yeah, they're doing the classic like she is glassy. She's not wearing makeup. Her hair is frizzy and also a little greasy. She's wearing like a turtleneck or like mismatched vest. Yeah, it's like she's just like kind of shrubby like clown shoes, but small. Clown shoes are small. That's a whole vibe. But shrubby, but not like she is being put together. It's like sort of like Andy Anderson at the beginning of Devil Wars Prada, but less cute. Wait, not Andy Anderson. The other one. Andy Anderson is from 1010. You're right. Andy something. Isn't her name Andy? I don't remember her name in Hathaway. That's how I know her. You guys, I've never seen Devil Wars Prada. Oh my God. What? Wait, that is actually really crazy. So I have no idea what you're talking about right now. I don't understand how you how do you how do you know any cultural touch points? Whatsoever. How do you even know who you are? Oh, shit. Why have you not seen it? Yeah, so you're unfamiliar with folks. Stanley Tucci in Hathaway. Never heard of any of those. Cerulean sweater. Never heard of Emily Blunt. Never. Why haven't you seen it? It never came across my desk. That's actually completely insane to me. And I'm having a really hard time. Why? But why? Tell us why it hasn't happened. You have to see it. Also, but also I'm wondering why have I seen it? I've seen it so many times. And I'm like, why? Why have I seen it so many times? And important. What? What are we talking about right now? Let's just stop the recap. I knew that that was going to be. I just and just so everybody knows, I've also never seen The Godfather. That's fine. You don't like mafia movies. I don't. But to be honest, that one's fine. No one cares about that. Is is Devil Wars product like a romcom? Because you know, I don't I'm not like a big romcom person. Kind of not. No, no, no, it's about it's kind of the opposite of a romcom in a way. It's like a it's a corporate coming of age. I mean, boss, mean boss lady. It's like a classic capitalism woman coming of age. You don't even know the importance of getting hot. Right. Yeah. Interesting. Well, OK, look, look, look, look. I do just think that you should watch it. OK, OK. Because I was the sequel comes out in May and obviously it won't hit as hard if it's not nostalgic for you as it obviously won't be. But I was like, I think we actually need to cover it because I actually think that the Devil Wars product is important. OK. OK. I'm totally down. I didn't even realize there's a sequel happening. We have not even gotten to a word of dialogue of this movie. That's totally fine. So it's Rachael McAdams. She's not hot. Got it. She's like dorky. Sure. She's got glasses on a chain, you know? She's typing type type and underdasket. She's approached by a real smarmy, slicked back hair, very dressed like American Psycho type vibe guy, office guy. This is Donovan, a.k.a. Riley Beers. I can really see him looking like that. Yep. She gives him a stack of reports. She's like, stay up all night finishing these. I got all the numbers for you and he's like, oh, you're a lifesaver. Thank you. Like, totally needed you to get this together for me. And he starts walking to a conference room at the end of the hall. She's following him. He turns around. He's like, oh, yeah, they made this meeting smaller, actually. So you don't have to be there. And she's like, oh, but I put the report together. If they have any questions on the numbers, like, you know, I should be there and he's like, I don't know what to tell you. They just made it smaller. But I don't worry. Like I've got this and I will make sure that you get all the credit for the work that you did, see your names right here on the front of the report. And it's just a post-it note that has her name on it on the top of the stack. And she's like, OK, well, good luck. And he's like, great, thanks. As he's walking away, she leans over the cubicle. The woman next to her and is like, I guess that elevator success is broken. The woman is like, what? She's like, oh, you know, we're going to have to take the stairs, you know, step by step, just like really trying to have a moment of camaraderie. And this young girl is like, OK, this is Sam Raimi's daughter, by the way, just a fun cameo. Lil Nepo. Lil Nepo daughter. Lil Nepo cameo. Another corporatey guy comes up to the cubicle to talk to the young woman and is inviting her to karaoke that night. And there she's immediately like, she turns on the charm to talk to him. And Linda, Rachel McGann says, like, karaoke, I love karaoke. Oh, my go to is one way or another. And they're like staring at her dead eye. And she's like, Blondie, I'm on. I could take it. She's like really trying to connect with them in there. Like she's thinking she's a huge dork. Apparently the use of one way or another in this movie was an homage to mean girls, which didn't register for me, but I'm like cute. We're just having an awkward moment. You know, they don't really want Linda to be hanging out with them. In this moment, Linda looks over it's, you know, glass walled conference room. She looks over and she sees Donovan take the post-it note off, put it in the trash. And she can overhear him being like, you know, hi, everybody, I have the numbers. Sit up all night working on this bad boy and like passing out the report. Just taking all the credit. That night at home, she's in her kitchen. She's making a tuna salad sandwich, packing it for lunch tomorrow. She is talking about, you know, it's OK. At the promotion, I will be I'm going to be promoted to VP soon. The CEO, he promised it to me and, you know, his son, he told his son about it, his son's taking over, but he told him about it. And so I know the promotion is going to be mine. I just got to keep my head down, keep doing my job. We pan out. And she was like, oh, and, you know, he was really the sun was really flirty with me at the Christmas party. So I, you know, all I have to do is buy my time. This is going to be great. She's drinking cheap white wine out of a wine glass with like blue and green stenciled flowers on it. Just felt like an important detail of like just the kind of gal we're working with here. We see we're seeing in Cider House as she's talking. She's got a bunch of books on her shelf that are like, build your own shelter. Nature for women. It's like very survivalist, but very like nature. We see photos of her like hiking alone in the Grand Canyon, hiking alone in Yosemite. I'm really just nature for women. I got to get that one. It's like something like that. Nature for dummies. Nature for dummies. No, for women. And we sort of pull back on her to reveal that she's talking to her bird. Oh, I thought it was going to be a cat, but I love that it's a bird. She lives alone with a bird. Her bird's name is Sweetie. She's talking to Sweetie. She gets on the couch. And Cher is trying to share a piece of toast with Sweetie. She's like getting sweeted to try to take a bite while she also takes a bite and gets like really excited when it happens. And she says to Sweetie, we deserve this. We deserve this. And then she turns on survivor. It's time for survivors. She's so excited. She's talking to Sweetie about like, oh, if this person gets limited this week, I am telling you what, like survivor super fan. That's going to come in handy. Perhaps. Next day at work we see she's eating her tuna fish sandwich. When a true Sal sandwich. Important when there's an announcement. All state guys like everybody, you know, come meet your new CEO. This is we have gathered. It's the son of the previous CEO who is for whatever reason no longer with us. This is Dylan O'Brien. Everybody gets up from their cubicles and is like, oh, hey, she like quickly shoves her sandwich in the top drawer of her desk and like, you know, wipes her face and is left with just a little bit of tuna salad on the side of her face. Oh, God. And, you know, he's like, he's being very charming, very like, oh, everybody, you know, I've got a lot to learn from you. And, you know, it's great to be here. But, you know, got big shoes to fill. But I'm going to, you know, try my best. And he's walking to past her to his desk and she stops him. And she's like, you know, these puppies have put in a lot of miles. And he's like, what? She's like, it shoots, you know, if you're talking about shoes to fill, like the, you know, these shoes are really going to really going to be ready to be put to work, you know, whatever you need. And we see as she's talking to him, he, we go from his POV and he's just zoomed in on the piece of tuna fish. All he can see is the tuna salad sandwich. So I had her mouth and he's like, OK, well, it was nice. Nice to meet you, Linda. And she's like, oh, we, we met at the, at the Christmas party. And he's like, right. Yes, of course. Christmas party. Yeah. And he like, you know, shakes her hand. He does it like he winks a lot as he's talking to her and it's very clear that like he's just a fucking smart, me shitty guy, but she has interpreted that as flirtation. He shakes her hand and, you know, keeps on going to his office. She thinks it went pretty well. We know that it did not. Later, he's in his office talking to the all state guy and he looks down and notices that he has a little bit of tuna salad on his hand. And he's like, you know, this is it. He goes to all six guys. He goes, what is this? And all the good guys like, I don't know. He goes, smell it. He says, you know, no, no, I'm not going to smell it. He says, smell it. He puts his hand out and the all state guys to come up and fucking smell his hand. And he says, smells like tuna salad. And he's like, it was that disgusting woman. Oh, come on. She makes me sick. And the all state guys like, well, that's Linda. She's actually, she's in strategy and planning. That's Linda. She's in strategy and planning. He's like, actually, she's she's a real workhorse. We really, we really need her here. Your father actually promised her the VP position because she's really, really crucial to what we do here. And he's like, no, that's Donovan's position. And he's like, OK, well, you know, she really deserves the recognition. She made her a long time. He's like, I literally don't care. Get her like a satellite office. She's gross. I don't want to fucking have her around. And I'm disgusted by two little pieces of tuna. It's absolutely disgusting. And I'll say guys like, OK, well, we we haven't yet cracked appendix D. So we do really actually need her for the Bangkok merger. And he's like, fine, she can come along for the Bangkok merger. But after that, like find another place for her to be in the office. I don't want to fucking deal with her. Oh, this is so rage baby for me. Like this is like this is this is really making me mad. Just wait. I know, I can't even I can't even arrived in the first five minutes. It's also like not dissimilar to drag me to hell's beginning, whereas she's also Alison Lohman working in the office, not getting her the respect she deserves. Her due. Yeah. Later that day, Linda. Oh, there's people like cheering in the back of the office, like a bunch of fucking dudes. And she's like, oh, big, big party over there. And again, same Remy's daughter who sits next to her is like, oh, yeah, they're probably celebrating Donovan's promotion. She's like, what? And she's like, yeah, I'm writing up like the email right now to let everybody know he got the VP position. And Linda's like, I don't understand. Like she's like really flustered. What the fuck is supposed to be mine? And the girl's like, yeah, well, I looked him up and he golfs with Bradley's a new CEO is like he golfs with Bradley and they were in the same frat in college. So like, yeah, of course he's getting the promotion. Linda gets up to go speak to Bradley about it. She's like kind of got tears welling in her eyes. She's really worked up and she goes into his office. He's finishing up an interview for an assistant position. We're really hot woman and he's sort of like leaned on his desk in front of her. And he says, you know, I guess I just need to know is how above and beyond are you willing to go for me? Clearly a sexual implication here. Linda knocks on the door and she's like, hi, I need to speak with you. He's like, I'm in the middle of a meeting and she says, I really need to speak through right now. He's like, OK, I'll squirt the woman out. I was like, we'll be in touch. Linda comes in and sits down and she asks him, you know, why was I passed over for the VP position that was supposed to be mine? I've been here seven years. Donovan has been here six months. And he says, you know, I'll be honest, I just a VP is someone who I need to be able to like go out and take meetings with me, meet people, be a people person. I need someone who golfs and, you know, I just don't think you have it. I say, I know you're good with numbers, but this is about more than that. And she basically is like, are you joking? And he's like, look, took a lot of balls for you to come in here and talk to about this, so I'll let you prove me wrong, you know? Really step up to the plate, show me what you've got. You can come along for the Bangkok merger and, you know, change my mind. He's got like a fucking putting things set up in his office. And as he's telling her this, he's gets a little golf club out. He hits the golf ball and it goes right into a hole in one. He says, boom. And he's like, all right, that's all. Thanks, Linda. He can go. She gets up as she's leaving. Bradley's fiance comes into the room. Absolutely stunning, gorgeous model woman. Bradley introduces her or she walks in and he's like, hey, sexy. Oh, you look amazing today. Just like such an insane thing to say in front of anybody else. And introduces her. This is my fiance, Zori. She introduced herself. Linda's like for her POV, she like rise zoom in on this insane huge diamond. And is like, oh, happy fiance like is so flustered. Fucks up that interaction and goes to leave the office. And as she's leaving, Bradley says, by the way, Linda, I wanted to let you know it's a little awkward, but we've been getting some complaints about you and she says complaints and he's like, yeah, you know, the noxious odors, tuna fish, eating at your desk. You know, this is a workplace, so we should really just be conscious of other people. And she's like, oh, absolutely. And we see, you know, she started to cry, trying to hold it in. You just really feel for her. She runs to her desk and starts like gathering her things so that she won't start crying in front of everybody. And she's like, she's like rushing out of the office. People are noticing and she's saying, don't cry, don't cry, don't cry. Oh my God, I'm going to start crying. It's awful. She gets to her car, she's crying. She like looks at herself in the rear of your mirror and she's like, Linda, you are enough exactly as you are. And she's just like giving her this beautiful pep talk that you're like, if only I could be able to give myself that pep talk in that moment. But she's not going to fall apart. Cut to airplane hangar, private jet, waiting, all these fucking bros are standing waiting to get on the plane. Linda shows up with her classic shoes, her little suitcase. She's like, morning, guys, all sunny, cheery, positive attitude. They're all like this fucking bitch. She says, Bradley, you know, I was up all night and I really think I've cracked appendix D. Like, I think I found a solution that's really going to work. She's telling him this whole spiel. And then he goes, what? And he like takes out an air pot. He wasn't even listening to her. And he's like, spits out his gum, just goes like spits his gum on the floor and says, all right, boys, cocks up and they all get on the plane. No, cocks in the air, cocks in the air. Then they go on the plane. Cut to there on the plane. All the it's a, you know, private jet. There's one seating area where all the fucking bros are. There's four, three execs, I think. Bradley Beers, another guy and Bradley. She's in the back of the plane, Linda. And we see over her computer, she's typing up a report on appendix D. She's got her headphones in. She's really working. She's like smiling to herself. Like she really fucking did it. This is a really important thing for this merger. And the guys up front are their fucking Josh and they're drinking. There's a beautiful flight attendant there that they're like wooing. And Riley Beers says he's sitting like opposite corner to Bradley. And he's like, oh, you want to see something you're really like and like tries to beckon him over to his screen and Bradley just stays put and doesn't move. And so Riley like gets his computer and like comes over to him and shows him. A video he's found online of Linda Little's survivor audition. Oh, boy. And she's, you know, it's really dorky, big font zooming in of like Linda Little. And she's like, oh, there's three ways to make fire. And I know all of them. She's doing fire things. And then there's a shot of her like boxing with her boxing instructor. Like I can fight for myself. And the boxing instructor came and goes, Linda is a badass. And it's just like all the it's really, really embarrassing. And they are absolutely dying, cracking up. She has headphones in so she can't hear what they're laughing at. But she notices they're all like really laughing. And so she she takes her headphones out and she hears that they are laughing at her. You see a little tear fall from her eye and she goes to her computer and she deletes the entire report that she was writing. Oh, good for you. Hell yeah. Hell yeah. Just then they hit a big spot of turbulence, a real like they all sort of like look around concerned, the seatbelt sign comes on, the flight attendant's like, everybody take your seat, put your seatbelts on. And Linda does. Bradley was always sitting with his seatbelt on because he didn't get up when he wanted to see the fucking computer. But he is like, oh, yeah, guys, put your seatbelts on if you're a pussy. And they're like, we're not that scared. Another huge jolt of turbulence. The guys who were out of their seats, like hit the ceiling, hit the ground. This is bad. We immediately are really rocking around and a chunk of the side of the plane gets thrown off, obviously compromising the pressure. Donovan starts getting sucked out of that side of the plane. He grabs on to Linda's legs to try to like not fly out of that side of the plane. She's trying to grab him. He's saying, give me your seat. Give me your seat. The other exec bro also starts flying out that opening in the side of the plane. He grabs on to Donovan's legs. Donovan's trying to kick him off. So then that exec bites Donovan's leg. Donovan kicks him again, knocks all his teeth out. That dude goes fucking flying out the side of the plane. Donovan eventually, Linda can't hold him. He gets sucked out of the side of the plane, but is caught by his tie on like a piece of like sharp edge. And so he's being dragged outside of the plane, choked by his tie. And he starts getting slammed over and over again into the window. This is very Sam Raimi like huge over the top. Yes, like silly gore. He's getting like slammed into the window next to Linda. And she's seeing this in his face is getting like more and more pulverized. And she just like shuts her little window shade. And the plane goes down and we see it crash into the ocean. Linda is having a really hard time on doing her seatbelt. We're underwater. It's nighttime. She does finally manage to get her seatbelt undone. Starts trying to swim up. We get a big jump scare of the flight attendant's face coming down in front of her. She is, of course, very dead. Linda manages to get her head above water and looks around. And it is nighttime. We are in the middle of the ocean. Absolutely nightmare shit. And she does see in the distance the silhouette of what looks like an island or something, and she starts swimming that way. We fade to black. Next day, we see Linda has washed up on shore of this island. Coughs comes to looks around. We don't see anything or anybody. Just jungle on a beach. A big like cliff. It's gorgeous, but there's nobody around. She starts walking down the beach. You know, time is passing when she comes upon another body face down, washed up on the shore, goes over to my god, flips it over. It's Bradley. She checks for a pulse. He is alive, but he's unconscious. She says, had to be you. And she looks down. His pants are all bloody. She lifts up the leg and his one of his legs has like been cut pretty badly. No bone is out or anything, but it's like his leg got fucked up. She drags him up to the sort of tree line of the beach. And we just see her start getting to work. She is gathering palm trees. She's like pulling out. She's digging in the sand and like pulls out these like rope like things from under the sand that she knew to dig for. She collects coconut shells. She notices it looks like a storm is coming. And so she's like, OK, she like digs a big hole, collects coconut husks as little like bowls, gets big, the like flat palm. You're not palm leaves, but like the waxy. Yeah, but like the wide waxy ones, they're like tropical plants. Banana leaves. Yeah, like banana leaves. I don't trust myself to name any parts of plants anymore. Corn husks. And she's like using them as funnels into these bowls to try to collect rainwater. She's taking these fronds and leaves that she's gotten. She's like tying them together, leaning them against sticks, against trees, making a little shelter around Bradley, who's still unconscious. She is like absolutely going to fucking work, like wasting no time. This woman has been in nature. She's alone. She trained to be on Survivor. It's like absolutely Linda's fucking moment. Oh, God, this is like going to be so rage-beating for me. I just know it. We see, you know, it starts really storming. She's, you know, huddled under a little shelter. We see her just waiting out the night. Thanks, morning. She goes over to her little rainwater collection bowls and sees how much rainwater she collected and is like, does a little like dance. She's so happy at work. She drinks water and is like, oh my God, water, water, water is like so thrilled. We see she has started a fire. We saw her like rubbing sticks together to start a fire. And she's got a little fish cooking over a fire. We see Bradley start to come to when she comes out. And was like, wow, look who look who rejoined the land of the living. And she gives him some water. You know, he asks her if anybody else survived. She says no. These are his friends. He's very sad. She's like trying to get him to get his strength back. She's like, here, here, have some of this. She has some fish. She's like, has some protein. Like you really need to get your strength back. And he's like, bro, that's stinky. You have to, you have to eat something like it's you've been out a day and a half. Like you have to eat something. And he's like, and she like, he opens his mouth a little bit. She puts him in his mouth and he's like, she says, swallow it. He's just being such a little fucking baby. Toddler. And immediately as soon as he's like sort of come to a little bit, he starts telling her what she should be doing. He's like, have you tried calling for help? Have you made like, shouldn't you make like a really big fire and like send the smoke up in the air instead of like, what are you like playing house over here? And she's like, the most important thing in this moment is for us to have like food and water. They're going to need to locate the crash site, survey the surrounding area. Like he's like, how soon until we get rescued? And she's like, well, I don't know, but probably not immediately. Like we need to make sure that we survive for the next few days. And he is completely condescending to her. Like he's like, you know, you're just an accountant and how you fucking know all this and she says, I'm in strategy and planning. How do you not know that? And he's like, whatever, like you work for me. I'm your boss. And at that, she gets up. She gets her shoes. He's like, whatever, yeah, get those away. They're stinky anyway. She gets her shoes. She gets her stuff. Shoes walks away. And he's like, oh, you're leaving me? OK, yeah, fine. Bye. And we just watch a sort of montage of time passing as he's sitting at the street looking at his watch and at first he's like, OK, OK, you left. We're going to do a big deal. And then time is passing and his like face is getting like sunburned and chapped. And he is eventually like, yeah, I don't need you. Oh, whatever, whatever. And then he's like completely fucking destroyed by the end of that day. Next morning, she returns, gives him some water. And she says, we're not in the office anymore, Bradley. And he starts to accept her help a little bit. His leg is pretty fucked up. He can't really put weight on it yet. So he's sort of stuck sitting under this shelter while she does all the work. And she tells him she saw some boar tracks and she is going to need to go hunt it because they need more protein. And he's like, you're going to fucking hunt a wild boar. It's not like a scary pig. She's like, we don't really have a choice. They are dangerous. Kill more people. They can more people annually than sharks. But she's not deterred. She's like, I'm going to go fucking get this boar. She goes into the woods. She's made herself a big spear out of a stick. And she's hunting for this boar. We see her. She's walking really carefully. She's making sure not to step on any sticks. She's following the track. She's doing a really good job. She gets into this sort of clearing where the tracks have stopped. We hear the boar. It's like rustling through the woods. She's not seeing it. She's not seeing it. It runs at her. She tries to stab, but she doesn't get it. It's fucking mad. It's looking for her, but she's not anywhere to be found. And now we're like, where is she? Where is she? It's looking around. It's all mad. And she like jumps down from above it, from the tree above and stabs it through the neck. Now it's freaking out. She's got blood spattered all over her. It's trying to run it, but it's like got this stab wound. She backs away. It's like running at her. We get very Sam Raimi, like POV shot of the boar, like running at her. And right before I can get her, she finds she grabs another stick, she stabs it through its mouth. So now it's dying and as it's dying, it's like right up in her face. And it keeps like coughing blood and guts into her face again. We got a lot of fluids. Cut to the boar's cut off head. She throws it onto the beach right at Bradley's feet. It spatters blood onto him. He looks up at her. She is covered in blood. She's like winded, full of adrenaline. She says, have you ever hunted? I think I like it. That night we're sitting over next to a fire. There's a big leg roasting on a spit. They're both eating meat and are so happy. They're like, oh, my God, this is the best thing I've ever tasted. They're so happy. Not like stinky, yucky fish. Not stinky, yucky fish. Yummy, yummy pig meat. And she just starts all of a sudden like really laughing to herself. And he's like, what are you laughing at? She said, I was thinking while you were here all day, sitting like a bump on a log. I went out and I brought home the bacon. And then she really starts laughing and he starts laughing. He's like, you really did. You brought the bacon and they're like, I mean, they're delirious. That's been a pretty wild few days, but they're really laughing. They're like suddenly enjoying each other's company. This has somewhat brought them together. The next day or some it's hard to tell exactly the passage of time here. But Linda is hiking through the rest of the island, exploring, you know, what she can find and she comes upon a waterfall and a little pool. She's so excited. Oh, my God, fresh water. She comes up to this pool. We see her like see herself in the reflection of the pool. And she, you know, she's never looked better. Her hair, she's gotten sun. Her hair is like curly and flowing. She like is just like splashing water on herself and fully starting to have this like romantic, like goddess in the pool moment. She finds a flower and she like puts it behind her ear and she's like dancing in the waterfall and she just is like giggling and splashing around. And it's just like, I'm here. As she starts walking back to their beach, she's on another beach, another part of the island and she sees in the distance a boat approaching the island and runs out to be like, oh, my God, oh, my God. And then stops herself and tucks back into the foliage and is like, not yet, not yet. Oh, no, it's going to be the whole type of situation. She comes. We see her come back to Bradley with she's made these like jugs that she's got, you know, fresh water and she gives one to him and she is like, she is in such a good mood. She is feeling amazing. She's made a backpack that she like carried her water jugs in. She's made this backpack out of straw. Their shelter, by the way, it used to just be like palm fronds leaned up against a tree. It's now like has like four walls and a roof as like a fully like well built shelter with like a table inside and she comes in and she puts her backpack down. She's like, I found a new water source and he is immediately like so fucking annoyed at how happy she is. He's like, we need to get out of here. Like we need to be like looking to get rescued and you're over here playing Susie, homemaker. She's like, you know, what the most important thing to survival is in these situations, statistically, the most important thing is a positive attitude. He's like so fucking over her shit. She tells him like, Bradley, help is not coming. OK, we need to take care of ourselves. We need to learn how to survive. You are constantly waiting for someone to come and rescue. We're like, where the fuck would you be without me? I have kept you alive. So fucking buck up and adjust to your circumstances. And he tells her he's like doesn't want to take orders from her. He's like, I'm the CEO of a fortune 500 company. She was like, yeah, a company that your dad built. And he like is like, you know what, I fucking I could do all this shit that you could do. I watched you build the shelter. Like I can do it. And he like gets up. He's really having to limp on his leg. But he is she's like, OK, great. Have fun. Like go enjoy yourself. And he limps away. And he's like, yeah, I can fucking do myself. I can fucking do anything myself. And he starts trying to build his shelter. And he's putting sticks up against a tree, looking for things he can use as rope. It's not going well. He doesn't know what the fuck he's doing. He starts gathering sticks to write out help on the beach. No one's looking for that. That doesn't mean anything. And meanwhile, we see Linda is building herself a little sun hat. She's like weaving and trying it out on her head. She's got a hammock. She's sitting in a hammock with her little hat and just like watching him. She's like eating mango and drinking fresh water. Well, he is just like absolutely failing at this. Next day, we see he is completely sunburnt. He has had no shelter. He tried at one point, rain started falling. So we like tried to collect rainwater. And as soon as he has his bowl set up, it stops raining. He's just like cannot do this. He is desperate. We see him see like a little beetle walk past him and he's like, yes. And he grabs it and he eats it. And it's like he immediately like starts spitting it out. It's disgusting. He looks over and Linda is preparing herself on the beach. She has gotten she's made herself a table. She has like fresh sashimi that she has cut up on this little like banana leaf bowl. She's got bowls of fresh fruit. She's like sitting herself down to this lovely. She's got she's made herself chopsticks and she's just like eating her little sashimi and watching him and he comes over hat and hands. And he's like, Linda, I'm really sorry. I am I'm really sorry for the way I treated you. And she's like on the island or before the island. He's like all of it. All of it. I've really I've really not been nice to you. Clearly I need you. You know what you're doing. I don't and I really can I please I would like to come back to camp. Can I please come back to camp? And she says, well, that depends. How above and beyond are you willing to go for me? Nice. And he looks at her and he starts to take a shirt off and she's like, no, Jesus Christ, God, no, I'm not I'm not you. I'm not going to make you do that. Come yes, come back to camp. Sit down. Do you want some food? He's like, yes, thank you so much. And she gets him a little a little bowl of sashimi. He starts slurping it down. He noticed that she has like a little it's almost like a little cheese knife. Earlier, she had been using she like we saw her break off a stone to like create a sharp edge that she was using to like cut branches and stuff. But she now has like a little a little cheese knife and he's like, where'd you get the knife? She says, washed up on a shore. It's really amazing what you can find. What if you actually like go looking around and we're, you know, we're back on the same team. OK, sometime later the next day or a few days later, you know, he's his leg, is he able to walk on it, put weight on it? So she's like, let's go for a hike. You need to be rehabbing your leg. And so they start walking this hike around the island. They go up this really intense cliff face that has like a ledge they can walk along. I'm thinking this is far too intense. The hike for him to be doing on his leg. But she's giving him a tour of what she's learned, basically. And she's like, they come across a like berry bush. They look like little tiny tomatoes with their yellow and orange. And she's like a general rule for foraging is if it's yellow, you don't eat it. It's poisonous. But the real way you can find out is if you rub a little bit of it on your skin and see if you get a reaction. And we see immediately her skin like gets pink and bubbles up a little bit where she rubbed the berry on her. She's like, that's poisonous. Don't eat it. She points to in the distance, there's like these two. It's really obvious rock formation. That's like two rocks leaning up against each other. And she's like that part of the island where those rocks are is all. There's like a ton of poison ivy and like poisonous vines. If you go to that part of the island, you're going to end up like wanting to scratch your skin off so we don't go there. And as they're walking or no, he needs to take a beat and sit because his leg is hurting. So like, yeah, let's take a beat. Um, she, he sits down and she takes another step and the rock underneath her feet crumbles. So she slips down the edge and she's grabbing onto the edge. He like has to come and try to pull her up. If she were to fall, it's like an insane drop over just rocks. Like absolutely would be a death fall. Yeah. Um, and he does manage to finally pull her up. She of course, you know, ends up like, oh, you know, laying on top of him chest to chest. Of course. Of course. They're like huffing and puffing. Oh my God. Oh my God. She, you know, thanks him for saving her. He's like, I, you know, I owed you one. This is a really intense moment. Um, seems to have bonded them a bit. Okay. Back on the beach, Linda brings over just like, look what I found. And it's a big bunch of green bananas. Um, and he's like, great. The, so, you know, green bananas. Uh, she says not for long and she pulls a few off and she puts them on top of the little fire they have going and she's like the heat turns the, or like turns the starch into sugar. So it quickens the ripening process, pulls them out, gives him one. They start eating them. And he's like, Oh my God, this is, it's like, there's, you know, delicious, sweet, warm banana. They're so happy. Linda tells him, have you heard about, I think it's called pruno. She's like prison wine. She's like, you know how they make that? It's just like fermented fruit. And he says, are you telling me you want to make prison wine? And she says, I already did. You want to get drunk cut to, they're sitting around a fire on the beach. They're both drunk. Uh, she accidentally calls him sweetie and he's like, sweetie. And she's like, sorry, that's, um, that's the day with my bird. And he goes, Oh, you have a bird, which is really funny. Um, she tells him, you know, I was married and he's surprised by this. And who would marry you? He says, what happened? You get divorced. And she said, uh, no, he died. It's like, Oh, I'm so sorry. She says, don't be. He was not a good person. He didn't know how to love. And he's like, I, I get that. She kind of looks at him inquisitively and he's like, my parents didn't know how to love, um, you know, I actually never really, my dad's a total stranger to me. Like, I don't know him at all. And I was raised by my mom and she's a really mean person, uh, abusive, emotionally, physically, um, but you know, her dad was a piece of shit. So I don't, I try not to really blame her. And she's looking at him with this sort of new understanding. And she says, if you're the, the saying monsters aren't born, they're created. And he's like, you calling me a monster? And she's like, yeah, kind of. And he starts laughing. He's like, I really have a monster. I was really a monster to you. I'm like really shitty to a lot of people. And seems to be kind of having a, some sort of reckoning. Um, oh my God, I'm so anxious about what's going to happen. Yeah. She tells him, um, he asks, how did your husband die? And she says, car accident. She says he was a drinker and I used to hide his keys and we would get really drunk. Um, and one night he was really drunk and he did some really terrible things even for him. And we are like a really big fight. And he was screaming, looking around for his keys. And I took them out of my purse and I gave them to him and I poured him his last drink. And he left and got in an accident and died. And she's like, I've never told anybody that before. Um, and he's like, they're really having this moment of he's like, I get it. Like it's okay. Oh, um, next morning we see her wake up very hung over on the beach, sort of coming to, she's alone, she doesn't see Bradley. She's like looking around for him and sees him kind of off in the distance, uh, rinsing off like bathing as best he can in the ocean. And he's naked and she looks at him for a beat too long. And he turns and sees her and she like, you know, walks away and acts like she wasn't looking, um, but he definitely saw her, but he doesn't seem to, but he isn't like, you know, Oh God, don't look at me. He's just sort of like clocks that she noticed. Um, a little while later, a big storm comes and it's range there before, but this is like big gusts of wind. There's shelter starting to come apart. Huge branches of trees are falling up a big skinny palm tree does fully fall. Linda has to like shove Bradley out of the way. So he doesn't get hit. This is a bad storm. They're like, we have to obey the camp. We need to move further inland. So they go, they find a cave, talking to this cave and are like, okay, great. We need to ride the storm out here, but it's, they're freezing. They're in this little cave. It's been pouring down rain. They're both just like sitting there shivering. Bradley says to her, come here, body heat. And she's like, okay, yeah, good idea. And so he like puts his arm around her. She sort of nuzzles into his chest and they just kind of hold each other. Works better when you're naked though. It works better when you're naked. They're not, they're not wearing much clothes, but yeah, they're not naked. Um, but they sort of just sit there and huddle. Next morning, Linda wakes up alone in the cave. Bradley's not there. She goes out and starts looking for him, finds him. He's like collecting some branches and leaves and stuff. And he tells her, or she tells him, I think she looked and she's like, our shelter, you know, whole shelter is gone. She's like, stupid. I like, I shouldn't have made shelter like so close to the beach. She's like, it's fine. Like we'll make another one. And this time I can help you and I would really like to help you build our next shelter and she's like, wow, okay. That'd be great. And, you know, cut to, we see them. They've built another, you know, incredible shelter. And he tells her, you know, tonight. I just also want to say that this whole recap, Henley is just like grimacing in this way. Like she's just so stressed about what is to come. She's just embraced the whole time. I can't relax. I can't relax. And I, I'll say for me, watching this movie, I was like, everything's fine. Like, like, not like, especially like going into this, like Sam Raimi, I was like, the bore, the hunting, the bore scene was like, gory, but like totally fine. Like this whole time I'm just like, this also, I will say, we probably could have cut like 30 minutes out of the movie from this whole island situation. But it does feel like you're just like, wait, you're just waiting. Right. Yeah. Well, because she is so deeply competent, except for her ability to understand emotional cues or social cues. And it's just horrible having to watch someone. And he has no skills. Like he, he literally cannot be there without her. He knows he needs her. Right. But he is a fucking sociopath. Right. Right. And doesn't clearly doesn't like respect her shitty person. It's just a really fascinating dynamic. I also feel like it's important to note like this movie is so funny. All of this, like it's hard to read. Their chemistry is so good. Their back and forwards are so good. Like it's delightful. It has been delightful. I think the other reason why I'm stressed is because in general, I'm just stressed about the like persistent and increasingly distressing knowledge of how men capitalize on women's labor. And we are well aware of that. Right now, I feel like we're having a reckoning a little bit in the culture about that. And so just to hear this story told is also just kind of activating some of those thoughts I've been having about, you know, the gender dynamics. We have been taught are normal. Right. However, are not and are deeply unnatural. So that's that's for another podcast. And I'm going to zip it and let you keep. And it's also, I mean, I feel like we do get it, but like it's really worth highlighting that Linda is absolutely thriving. Like Linda does not thrive in the life we saw her in before. But here it's I mean, she's all she's ever wanted was to be on Survivor. And she obviously you're like not hoping to get a ban on a deserted island. Pretty quickly, she's like, oh my God, I rule like I fucking rule. I can do all this shit I've like hoped I could do. I can do it for real. I can kill a bore. I can build a shelter. I can collect rainwater. I can find a knife. I can like I'm gorgeous. I'm stunning. Like she's like absolutely in her element in a way that I don't think she ever has been in her entire life. Meanwhile, this is a fucking yuppie nepo executive who's like only ever gotten shit he wants, wants like fancy comfort and has there is one line in the movie where she's like, is this really so bad? Like it's beautiful. We have fresh fruit. Like it's gorgeous here. And he tells her he's like, this is when they're like sort of bonding a little bit more because no offense, Linda. This is literally the last place on earth I ever want to be. Like this is no nightmare for him. No offense. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Um, but okay, we've made our new shelter and he tells her, you know what? I want to make dinner for you tonight. You have done everything. You have kept me alive. Like it is about time I do something for you. She's like, do you ever cook at home? He's like, absolutely not. But like, I want to like try to do this. And she's like, okay, that would be lovely. Cut to that night. She's sitting at their little table and he presents her with this beautiful smoked fish. These like little pieces of smoked fish on a banana leaf that he caught and cooked. They've got this like lovely yellow sauce along the top. I was going to say, what color, what color or the mango is also yellow. The mango is also yellow. Okay. Okay. We got a bowl of mango and he's like, you know, doing a cute bit where he's like, Madam, tonight we have for you some fresh smoked fish with a remoulade and, you know, bowl of fresh fruit. And she also at one point when she was eating her sashimi earlier, she has like a little cup that she carved her Linda onto, like so that you would know. So you don't make a cup. Yeah. Yeah. Um, she's saying, she's like, oh my God, this is so beautiful. She takes a bite of that fish and pretty quickly starts feeling a little woozy. Little light headed. We start to see, you know, from her perspective, focus blurring. Smotherfucker. We zero in on that sauce on the fish. And yes, it is indeed that poisonous berry that she showed him about before. She's still conscious, but she collapses and it's like foaming at the mouth a little bit and he gets up, runs into the island, drags out a raft that he built. He's got like coconut, some mangoes. He made a little basket. He's got his all his shit ready to go. A paddle. He has her cup that says Linda on it and he drags that raft out onto the store. And as he's going out to see, he goes, fuck you, Linda. And he gets on his. And he starts paddling out into the ocean at night. It is pitch fucking dark. This fucking idiot chooses this moment to go out to see Linda can't do anything about it. She's foaming at the mouth on, on the sand. Also, like you think you can survive at sea, my bro? Like what? You see a Fortune 500 company, Hanley? What can't he do? He starts paddling out and he, his raft, it's like looking, you know, it's looking okay. He's got his paddle. He's going, gets hit by a wave. His raft starts to come undone. And he's like, shit, shit, shit, shit. And he's like, try to grab his coconuts and all his things and like get his raft back together when he looks up and a big wave comes, throws him under. And like he gets pulled into a current. He is sinking. He is absolutely drowning. We see as he's falling down to the ocean shore, he has this vision of Zuri. His fiance swimming towards him, cut to what's actually happening. Rach McAdams has pulled him up to shore. Uh, and Linda is, you know, over him, like to give him CPR and she pukes yellow sauce into his face, does some CPR, pukes into his face again. And he is coming to, and he's just like another like three times just gets puke, like mango poison, or like poison berry sauce just gets like puked straight into his face. Getting in his mouth at all. Is he going to be poisoned from the. It's not getting in his mouth, but it's, it's getting on his face. Why is she saving him? This is, this is why this is actually genuinely what the point of conflict I'm having is just her. She likes him. I know. She's really lonely. Sure. Her, her compass for relationships seems to be a little, little off. Well, her, her options are few. I also think she likes the feeling of power, of being, being in charge. Yeah. But this dude just tried to like poison and murder you. Like that's, he's going to try to do that again. Well, cut to the next morning. You got a tie up. He, we just were up, we're on his face, you know, and he's like kind of crying. And he's like, I'm really sorry. You know, he's humiliated again. It's very fun. He's so good in this movie. But he's like, absolutely humiliated. No, he really fucked up. And he's like, you know, I didn't, I wasn't trying to kill you. I just thought like, you know, I just was trying to get away. You know, you really wanted to, I really just wanted to go get help. And I, he had like read a story at some point. He told her about a guy who like built his own raft and got rescued from some so he's like really determined to be like, I just, you know, it was like, I thought it was a really good idea, but I'm really sorry. Obviously. And that's why that's why he yelled, fuck you, Linda, when she was leaving because he was trying to go get help. And she's like, it's okay, you know, that one of those berries, you would have needed a lot more to kill me. So, you know, it's okay, but we learned something, didn't we? And, and we're not going to be doing that again. And she's, she's like, you know, I'm actually like, that was a pretty good raft. That was a pretty good raft. I'm pretty impressed. You know, you've clearly learned a lot, but, you know, better luck next time. And she hands him a skewer. She's got like some, you know, calamari looking little like squitty legs on a skewer and he like takes it from her. He's like, thanks. And he takes it by and he starts eating it and he offers her some and she's like, no, you know, my tummy's still a little a-queasy from yesterday. And he's like, right. Yeah. Sorry, sorry, sorry. Um, and she, he's eaten it and he's chewing and he starts being like sticking his tongue out. Like, his tongue's like maybe going numb. And she's like, you feeling a bit weird? She says, yeah. Um, the neurotoxins in that, in that octopus, um, that's making, it's going to make you paralyzed. You're not going to be able to feel anything. It's not going to kill you. She's like, let me put tweedies. Not going to kill you. Um, but things are going to have to be different around here, Bradley. Okay. Um, I'm your boss. And I'm going to be a much nicer boss to you than you were to me, except for maybe this next part. We see she is sharpening her little knife. Oh, brother. Sanitizing it over the fire. And she says, you know, she's, I caught that octopus about a week ago. I held onto it just in case. She says, when I was growing up, we had this dog who was really, he really misbehaved. He really couldn't listen to, to training. And my dad said, you know, it's not his fault. He's just not fixed. Oh, and, um, she sharpens her knife. Oh God. She comes up to him. She's like, you know, I want to, you know, let you know, you're not going to feel anything, which is really what you're going to want right now. We were on his face as we, you know, hear pants come off, boxers come off. She holds them up to him. And she's like, this is really honestly a very easy medical procedure. Um, they used to do it to the slaves in ancient Egypt to get them to be more docile. So don't worry. This will be very quick. Let me stay on his face as we start to hear some squelchy sounds. Oh my God. He's like, he can't move or speak, but he is like, and let me do see like little tears forming in his eyes. Linda, this is, see, this is what I mean. This is not, this is, okay, keep going. And blood, we see blood spray up on his face and he's like, and she's like really joking and is like, well, we've got a bleeder. Oh my gosh. Don't worry. Totally routine. And then she pulls up a bloody dead rat. And she tosses it to the side and she says, next time it won't be a rat. Okay. All right. Just a warning shot. Just a warning shot. Okay. Cut to Bradley hammering, building a new shelter while Linda watches on. She's got her, she had made herself like a little backpack. She's all sunny. She, uh, she tells him, Bradley, it has been two days and I have not seen a single smile. Would it kill you to smile? She's like, see, now just because of that, I am going to go and I'm going to get you the freshest fruit on the island. And I'm going to get it for you. And we're going to have a fruit salad. And she's got, she's also made herself like a little sheath for her knife that she always like wears on her belt. Um, and so she goes to, to go get this fruit cut. Do we see her on another beach? The other side of the island cutting mangoes from a tree. She's saying to herself, like he just needs to, just needs a better attitude. And then everything's going to be better again. You just need to get over it and everything's going to be fine. And she looks out, she hears a sound, looks out, and there is a boat coming. And they, this person on the boat sees her and calls out to her, ways her hand like, Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God. We zero in on something glinting in the sun, a big, shiny, fat engagement ring. And this is Zuri Bradley's fiance. It's her with a boat captain of this, like, you know, little sort of motor boat that has come to find them. And she's like, Linda, Linda, oh my God. And Linda's like, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. I mean, really bad timing. Really? You would love for this to have happened before you made him think he were going to cut his balls off. She's really upset about this. Um, they come up and Zuri immediately hugs her. She's like, Oh my God, I can't believe we found you. And she's like, Oh my God. Um, and Zuri's like, yeah, they gave up searching this, this area, but I was never going to give up. I knew we were going to find you. Um, is Bradley okay? Like tell me his breath. She's like, yeah, he's fine. He's great. Um, is it just you guys or is there like a whole search party? Linda. And Zuri's like, it's just us, but don't worry. We're going to let everybody know that you guys are okay. Um, take, please take me to Bradley. I have to see Bradley. And she's like putting her backpack on filled with all her mangoes and the boat captain is like, it's okay. Like we have so much food on the boat. Like you don't, and she's like, no, no, like, let me, let me get my mangoes. And he's like, okay, yeah, totally fine. Totally fine. And Zuri, as they're walking back through the jungles, like, Oh, you must be so happy you're going to get back to your old life. We're going to cook you up any meal you want. Like, Oh, this is going to be so amazing. And she's just like, Oh yeah, yummy. Great. And it's like, okay, this is the way to get back to Bradley. Takes them on that same very treacherous cliff side hike. Linda. As they're walking, Linda's in the lead. She sort of zeros in on that spot where the rocks were treacherous. She stops to tie her shoe and lets them get ahead of her. So now Zuri is in the lead and we see as Zuri gets to that spot, some more rocks crumble under her feet. She falls is grabbing onto the edge of the cliff. The boat captain is coming up and trying to grab her, but he can't pull her up on his own. They're both like, Linda, Linda, he's like, help me, help me. And we just are on Linda's panicked face of her not knowing what to do. Fade to black. Come up on Linda arriving back on the beach with Bradley. Alone. Looking not so good. She mentally, emotionally, Linda is not really there. She comes over, she drops the backpack of mangoes by Bradley's feet and just like walks out to the ocean and just like stares at the shore. And he's like, okay. That night. She is laying in her hammock and wakes up and sees someone being washed up on shore going Linda, Linda. She walks out and sees Zuri standing up, walking all. Zombie like, why did you do it? Why did you do it? And her hair is in front of her face and her hair pulls back cause she looks like a zombie and it's a jump scare and Linda wakes up and it was a nightmare. Bradley comes over to her. She's like laying on her little hammock, like absolutely catatonic. And Bradley comes up to her and he's like, I found fresh board tracks. Um, I think we need to go hunt it. We're running out of food and she's like, I'm taking a sick day. It's like, I can't do it alone. And she's like, I don't feel good. And just like, isn't responding to him. A very obvious change has occurred for Linda and he's clocking it. But he's like, okay, I gotta go get this fucking bore. So he goes after it alone. He's tracking it through the jungle. He's trying to find this bore. He's not doing a very good job. He's stepping on sticks. He's making all kinds of noise, but he sees at a far beach, he sees the bore back to him, clearly trying to like chew on something in the sand. He runs up to it, scares it away and sees a hand sticking up out of the sand with a big sparkly ring on it. He of course immediately recognizes it, runs up to it, cries, kisses the hand. That'd be so gnarly. That would be really, really, really, really, really a bad thing to discover. I would feel like I was losing my mind at that point for sure. This can't be actually. Yeah, I'm having like a weird vision. Died and I'm in hell. Hell. Comes back to the beach. She walks up, finds Linda, standing on the beach, staring out into the ocean, still not doing great. And he comes up to her and he holds his hand out. He's got the ring on his pinky finger. He's like, what did you do? And she's like, it was an accident. She fell, trying to come back here. He's like, why didn't you tell me? She's like, why do you wouldn't believe me? And he's like, yeah, I don't fucking believe you. And she says, it was an accident. And he says, an accident like your husband. Whoa. And she's like, fuck, the tension is thick. And so she goes to reach to grab her knife and he holds it up. He has it. And so she just runs into the jungle and he runs after her. He's following her. They get to a clearing. He can't find her. We see that she's behind a tree hiding from him and he's stalking around for looking for her. He thinks he's got her. He comes across around the tree. She's not there anymore. We just see on the ground her shoes without their shoelaces. And then behind him, she jumps down from the tree strangling him with her shoelace. He's choking him, choking him. He drops the knife. He's trying to get her off of him. He grabs a chunk of her hair and pulls pulls a bunch of skin off with her hair. Flinging her to the ground. She has like a gnarly, like big old fucking open wound on the front of her head now. Well, this is a, there's a lot of things that happen here. She, okay. Yeah. So she, he throws her off. She's like, you motherfucker. She tackles him and then bites into his shoulder, pulls a chunk out of his shoulder. Her mouth is all bloody. She spits it out and she goes, fuck you Bradley. He gets on top of her. He starts choking her, starts gouging his, her eye out with his thumb is pushing into her eye. She grabs a rock, smashes into his head. He grabs her. He didn't gouge the eye fully out, but it's all like bloody and nasty. He grabs her head is like shoving it into some mud. She's groping around, manages to grab the knife, slices at him, stabs him in the stomach. Gets up. She like, you know, this is where she's covered in mud, covered in blood. Absolutely manic. Has her knife. She's like swiping around. She can't really stay. She's like, where are you? Where are you? Where are you? We see that he's started to run away because he's, there's a pretty bad stab wound that she just got in him. He runs away. She looks, she sees the direction that he's running in and it's the direction with the rocks that lead to all the poisonous vines. She sees that, sees him going that way and like decides to go around another way. Go back to Bradley. We find him. He runs out onto an open stretch of beach, looks up and we see a big mansion. A gorgeous, big, luxury home. What? And he goes to it, climbs up the stairs, is like banging on the wall. It's help. Hello, hello. Nobody's there. He manages to like get a sliding door open, comes in. It's like a fully stocked, gorgeous, empty, like billionaire's home. Oh my God. This is actually giving, sorry, never mind. Spoiler alert for the village. I'm not Chameleon, but like that's what it feels like. He's like looking around, he grab, he opens a drawer where there's like dish towels and he like sops, you know, puts pressure on his wound. There's a fridge. He's in the kitchen. He opens the fridge. There's like bottles of champagne and bottles of like fancy water and he's like, what the fuck? He like grabs a bottle of water, just like starts like inhaling this water. And just then as he's doing that over a speaker, we hear Rachel McAdams voice, Linda, saying, refrigeration, the ultimate marker of civilization. What? She says, there's a really good mossum on curry in the freezer, by the way. Wait, what? He looks up, he sees there's like security cameras. He like opens a drawer, it's a silverware drawer, missing all the knives. And he starts like rummaging around in there, no knives. And she's like, yeah, I took all the knives. She says, I can't believe you thought I found a knife washed up on the shore. I really didn't think you were going to go for that. We see her watching from a like control room in this home somewhere. I just realized I was like still holding my side as if I was holding a stab. I was like, I can stop. We see her, yeah, watching him on the computer screen. And she says, you know, I have a confession to make. We could have been rescued several weeks ago. And we cut back to that moment where she saw the boat arrive and didn't call to them. But we see her watch the boat, follow the boat, go to this home. And these are like caretakers of this home. She watches them come in and stock the fridge. She watches them input the like security code to unlock the door. And she like memorized, she's good with numbers, she memorizes that number. We see her walking in the house and like reveling in the air conditioning and like eating fruit out of the fruit bowl and just like, oh my God, like heaven. And she was like, you know, it just things were going so well with the two of us, you know, this life here is so much better. There's nothing for us to go back to, you know, this, I wasn't ready to leave. Things were so good. Oh no. Oh no. She tells him, you know, didn't you ever wonder why it was just the two of us who survived? Out of everyone, it was the two of us who made it. You know, that has to mean something. We were supposed to be here and things were going really well when it was just the two of us. But things did start to go off the rails. And we see her flashback to Zuri and the boat captain hanging off the cliff saying like, help me, help me. We see her grab a big rock. Smash it on that boat captain's head and they both plummet to their deaths. She's like, you know, I never meant to do that. Oops. But you know, things just kind of got out of hand. Meanwhile, we've seen, we've followed Bradley as he's like listening to this and trying to find his way through the house. She mentioned she's like some fucking Wall Street billionaire owns this house. He's never here. Like this is just a second property for him. He goes, he finds himself in a study. We see there's like these sculptures of these big bronze boars with like huge horns. You see him clock that just then he hears like footsteps coming. He's the shadow of Linda start to come across the corner and she rounds the corner with a shotgun held up pointed at him and he immediately falls to his knees and is like Linda, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I totally get it. I understand everything. You're right. You're right. This is a fantasy. We don't, there's nothing for us to go back to. We should stay here. We should stay here. We can have a real life fairy tale. I think we can, we can really be happy here. Like really, really happy. And she's like real happiness, right? No bullshit. And he's like, no, none of that bullshit. No, we can be happy here. Just you and me. You're extraordinary. The things that you've been able to do here. I've never met anyone like you. You are incredible, Linda. And I love you. I love you. Nice fawn response, we call it. And she, she, you know, she's sort of tearing up as he's saying this to her. She's like holding a gun on him, but like has only wanted to hear this. And we know, we see her starting to soften. Like, do you mean it? We can really be happy. We can live this way. And as she's starting to buy it and lower her defenses, she looks behind him to one of those sculptures and sees that it only has one horn, not two. And we see behind him, he is holding it behind his back. And just as she realizes this, he lunges at her with it, swipes at her, she drops the gun, he grabs her head, he smashes it against the wall. She is able to grab, there's like a big golf club up on the wall that she grabs that. But as she turns, he has the gun on her. And he says, goodbye, Linda from accounting and shoots. And nothing happens. The gun was not loaded. And she swings the golf club at his head, knocking him to the ground, stands over him and says, strategy and planning winds up the golf club to hit him in the head, says, boom, and swings. And before we see the club make contact with his head, we smash cut to a golf club hitting a golf ball on a gorgeous golf course, soaring off exactly where it's meant to go. We pull back and the golfer is Linda looking hot, a long, sleek ponytail, a cute little golf outfit. She looks amazing. Everybody claps. A woman comes up to her with a microphone. They're on camera. She says, amazing, Linda. I'm here at the whatever annual celebrity golf tournament. We're here with Linda little Linda. It has been a year since you captured everyone's hearts by being the sole survivor of the horrible plane crash that killed all the executives at your company. And you won America's hearts. The book about what happened to you is being turned into a movie. And she's like, I know, I can't believe it. Ah, a little on me. And the woman's like, and now I hear you're writing a self-help book. And she says, yes, you know, I want to tell other women about my experience. She like looks directly camera and she's like, help is not coming. You have to learn how to save yourself. Cut to Linda drive in a way in a fancy luxury convertible. In the back seat, we've got Sweetie Bird in her cage, sitting with her. She puts on blondie one way or another starts driving down the road, looks right to camera. And that's the end of the movie. Wow. Who was taking care of Sweetie Bird? I had that question midway. She's just never worried about Sweetie Bird. I guess not. When we saw Sweetie Bird before in the house, she was worried about Sweetie Bird, but what could she do? I mean, I guess she could have gotten herself rescued. I was gonna say she could have died. She could have gone home. But Sweetie Bird was like free roaming in the house. So potentially Sweetie Bird could have, you know, found a way to Sweetie Bird had her own little Stash of survival story and water. Well, I, what talk about twists and turns? I did not know what was going to happen with this movie. There was a point in the movie where I started to get really upset that it was going to turn into a narrative of like crazy lady who is in love with him and can't, you know, like I was like really going to get worried. They were going to turn her fully into the villain and be like, crazy lady. But I found myself very delighted with the turn it finally took of like, she just ends up taking all the credit for being this like amazing. She even says that I was just like, you know, what really kept me going was the memory of my colleagues who didn't make it and how like how I needed to be strong and like, just uses it all to empower herself and become rich and important and hot. Wow. Okay. Okay. That was fun. It was fun. It's really, it's a really fun movie. I will say it is a little too long. In the middle there, I was watching it being like, what's it going to be you guys? But it's really fun. The performances are so good. I could simply not do it justice. Rachael McAdams is incredible. Dylan O'Brien is incredible. It's really, really fun. Almost a whole movie is just them. They really put work in. I've spent the entire day since looking at interviews of them together being like, are they just, do they love each other? Are they so charming? Just really fun. Worth a watch, I would say. It's just a fun ride. Yeah. I want to see it. I will be seeing it. I love Sam Raimi. I love Sam Raimi. There's a lot of CG in this that doesn't look like great. Some friends of ours were upset about that. I feel like Drag Me To Hell had a fair share of that as well. Yeah. And to me, it's like, it's really not meant to look real in any way. And also to be fair, those are the ones where I'm like looking the least. So it doesn't bother me because I don't want to look at it. But I do know some people wanted it to be a bit more practical in some of the gore and stuff, which would have been cool, but it doesn't bother me. Yeah. It depends. I feel like in Drag Me To Hell, the CGI goat in that is so funny. That should be CGI. That's very fun. The boar is incredibly CGI, obviously. Like silly animal over the time. I'm into that. But I don't know, Sam Raimi didn't direct Evil Dead Rise, but there's some just, it wasn't the cheese grater part, but it was something like that. That was CGI that I was like, this kind of contained injury should be practical. You shouldn't be CGI-ing like a wound on a face. Like a knife through a tongue that moment. Well, that was Evil Dead 2013 and that was not CGI. Honestly, the hardest part of this movie for me was just the beginning. Yeah. That was truly the hardest part. Watching her be so sad and essentially bullied was really tough. And just watching a man be so stupid so many times. Just refusing to gain anything from his experience. Right. Yeah, insists on remaining deeply immature and never growing. Every time you think he's had a breakthrough, it's like, I don't know, he's a piece of shit. Yeah. And then she is funny. Yeah. Oh my gosh. I feel like I could really, I mean, how do we feel about her at the end? Her being like a self-help guru who's like lying about everything that happened. What's your reaction to this? I feel great about it. For me, it's like she's just become the man now. Right. Right. She has used the power, like the power dynamics switched on the island and she took it and ran with it like how anybody would. She is using the tools of the patriarchy to elevate her individual self. Yes. Yes. Great. Great. Great. Sure. Sure. Okay. Well, this was fun, Emily. It was fun. It was a fun one. If you missed anything from that movie, I would be shocked. I feel like you did such a good job. I tried it. Oh well. Such a good job. Oh well. Yeah, it was fun. It was fun. Very fun. Any voices? Any voices? No, but I feel like when she gets when she's like having her fight, that was the part that Joel was like, did you include when she said, fuck you Bradley? I was like, no, but I will.
