Well, also like when cults do that, they do it with a small number of people in front of a large group of people, and this is like one woman, one small woman of you know, like pretty much telling what's what to like six very large men.
Speaker 2:She's the Charlie Manson of the group. She's like, oh, it's really big and messy. And he's like, yeah, but now that you're here and my notes go, here's your washroom. It's full of there's plenty of men and men and hemmed and cleaned and washed and dried. Here's the kitchen.
Speaker 1:Okay, so like, aside from the fact that this guy is essentially saying, these are all of the different things that you have to do And this is like these are all my brothers who don't live around here, they live here. I kind of like the cabin. No, the cabin's nice.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the kitchen I would have today, happily.
Speaker 1:Yeah, like that living room is so huge, i really like it. Like I would change the entire upstairs but there would also be, like just me living there. So there would just be one big upstairs and it would be my bathroom, my bedroom.
Speaker 3:Yeah, Yeah, structurally sound, but definitely lived in by seven men.
Speaker 1:There's like like he plops down her bag and there's, just like this, bill of smoke that comes off from the table. He kicks like chicken off the table.
Speaker 2:Yeah, there's chickens and dogs and brothers fighting each other in the face. Like there are so many punches thrown in this, they could be the ancestors of John Wick.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and like, like when Millie gets a redheaded John Wick.
Speaker 2:He must diet.
Speaker 3:I think I'd prefer a bald canneries to a redheaded canneries.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah. And when Millie is finally like left alone in the kitchen, adam's just sort of like yeah, you could go ahead and do this, and there's the dinner bell and there's firewood and water, and just let us, you don't have to let us know when.
Speaker 2:Bring it real loud When dinner's ready.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And this is where my notes go, remember ladies, murder is always an option.
Speaker 1:There's no one In the wilderness. Nobody can hear you scream, Yeah.
Speaker 2:Damn kids. Yeah, you too. Yeah, that's a meme.
Speaker 1:And like Millie does a really good job to get everything cleaned up, get the food made Like it's like just getting dark and like she's got all this food. The kitchen looks nice.
Speaker 2:She rings the bell, the men clumber in behind her and they start just grabbing food and shoving in their faces in a way that is just disgust. And Adam comes in. She's like what are you doing? What is this about? He's like, oh, it must be good. And pours an entire pot of stew into his plate and grabs like some like they look like little bread things like, almost like a pancake. And she's like if you're going to eat like an animal, you can eat off the floor like an animal and like tips the table over. And their reaction isn't horror. They laugh about it and start a little food fight.
Speaker 1:What's hilarious is all of that food is on the floor and they literally did eat it off the floor, like I mean, because do you think that they have the decorum, at the beginning of this movie, to not eat food off the floor? They have probably eaten food off the floor.
Speaker 2:Because their dad was squished by a tree, even though they're expert loggers, and then I'm sure their mom tried really hard and then she kicked the bucket because they're insufferable.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah. The only way she could get out was to die. Have you ever met a single mother who had?
Speaker 2:Oh, a single mother of multiple male children. Yeah, yeah, they are f***ing saints, because I don't know how you do it. Yeah.
Speaker 1:I couldn't do it Yeah.
Speaker 3:My mom.
Speaker 1:I was thinking of. I have a co. I have an old coworker who raised three boys and she was like I had to make them know I had that they needed to know that that they could not mess with me. And she was one of the sweetest ladies, she was one of the most timidest ladies that I ever met, but she was like not for my boys And she only had three. She didn't have seven, too many redheads, yeah. And then we go into the next scene, which is like everybody getting ready at the night, everybody's just sitting down, just exhausted from the day, like not, yeah.
Speaker 2:Adam is smoking a pipe and he's like, oh well, it's all past your bedtime And one of the brothers is like you got to get to bed too, and then we might as well have 30 solid seconds of them like eyebrow waggling at each other.
Speaker 3:Because that's basically what it is. Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, oh, okay, have a da have a da, have a da Yeah.
Speaker 2:So Adam like goes upstairs and She is rocking in the chair dead-eyed like freaking Jack Torrance. She's just like Yeah.
Speaker 1:And then she gives him the riot act.
Speaker 2:Well, first he's all like, so I guess it's time for bed. Do you want me to turn down the cover?
Speaker 1:She's like you can if you want, But I'm not going to be sleeping in it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, He's all like what What?
Speaker 1:What The consequences of my actions? What?
Speaker 2:The dumbest mother f***er And like I just I can't, can't with him. And so she's like you're not sleeping in here. And it's like okay. And he walks out and all of the brothers are like, and he's like she needs a glass of water. And he goes downstairs, grabs a cup of water from the marches back up the stairs and I'm like, oh, she's gonna get the hell out. And he, he marches past him and he's all like to his brothers. And then he walks into the room she's got her deck letage out. So she's like, she's like. And then he like, he's like here, have a drink. And he slops it on the table and then he climbs right out the window.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so he can sleep on the tree. And what does she do? She gives in.
Speaker 2:When you're in love. I sing a song to you out the window.
Speaker 3:Very nice.
Speaker 2:And she's like well, i guess it would be on a wedding night, it would be terribly improper to have you. And she invites him back in and he climbs through the window, accidentally throws himself on the bed, and while everything here has been made so that giant Irishman can, fight all over it that bed falls apart as if it was made out of popsicle sticks and sticky tack.
Speaker 1:What you don't understand is Adam is just that big.
Speaker 2:And the okay. So then we cut to the room across the hallway and all of the brothers are like, oh, and then their eyebrows just up and down, oh yeah.
Speaker 1:They, they, they have this visible expression.
Speaker 2:They may as well just be like Frappro is going oh, okay, And we do get too intimate every once in a while. but like, have you ever broken a bed? Um, I deflated an air mattress, I mean my weight. deflates an air mattress every time Same girl saying don't feel bad about that Like I wouldn't say that I broke the frame of a bed.
Speaker 1:I think I busted maybe a uh the baseboard once, but it was like it was still usable.
Speaker 2:Yeah Uh, we uh broke a uh fold out couch and a bed.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and then there was Dracula too.
Speaker 1:You broke Dracula.
Speaker 3:We broke the play Dracula.
Speaker 2:Oh, that was so funny. I wasn't there for that, but I was. I remember we were at intermission and, uh, sparky, and then we're trying to fix this bed and like there were two beds on set right, there was like this stocky wooden one and then there was like this delicate girly one and they broke the stocky one, i think. And and and intermission, which is 10 minutes, was going on like 25 minutes And I was like I remember walking up to Henderson in one of those rare moments where you have like super clarity and you're like why is everybody freaking out? Right, i just have this, okay. So I'm like Henderson, why don't you move that bed over there? And he's all like, oh, my God, it's the funniest thing because it was like they were like it was obvious that something stupid was happening.
Speaker 1:Yeah, i remember broken beds, yeah.
Speaker 2:You got any good broken bed stories though.
Speaker 1:No, no, that was probably the only good broken bed story, so I don't think we'll be owning a metal futon anytime soon.
Speaker 2:No, those things bend in the middle.
Speaker 1:Yeah, let's see, when I first moved in, there wasn't really room for my bed, so I had a foldable mattress frame.
Speaker 3:Oh, yes, yeah.
Speaker 1:And that that bended in. But again, that was because of weight, not because of sex, so it wasn't a good one. It was just sort of like a. I was just like really heavy and it wasn't built for me.
Speaker 2:It looked jankety a little bit. So I wouldn't blame you. That might be construction.
Speaker 1:Though it was nice to sleep on a bed instead of a couch or the floor.
Speaker 2:Oh, hell yeah.
Speaker 1:So yeah, and I got it, i got it, i got my bed. It's right over there, it's super comfy, comfy, looking.
Speaker 2:Oh next morning I'm like healthy boundaries lady and she just pulls them back.
Speaker 1:Yeah, to save face for his brother.
Speaker 2:My notes do say and I don't want to miss this that she does do like dewy eyed stare really good. So when she's like, do we love, her eyes get all wet and she's just like Like doughy, like dough eye. Yes, so she just kind of like Oh, like the do. Yeah.
Speaker 1:Not like, yeah, okay.
Speaker 2:Yeah, not like doomy eyes, those, those like Yeah, anyways.
Speaker 3:Like there's always this offstage light, beautiful light that she can look off.
Speaker 2:And when she loses it you can tell that she's really like upset.
Speaker 1:Oh, because the next day, when in the morning, the brothers are waking up and they start smelling all the good cooking and but they can't find their clothes, and Millie meets them and so like, oh, if you're looking for your clothes, they're outside drying And, by the way, you're not going to get any food until you get cleaned up and give me your underwear. And then and like, but before that, uh, the uh, ben was the one who was like well, adam must have told her what was what.
Speaker 2:Oh, yeah, okay, the Adam must have told her line is me being mad.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I should have like put some sort of note to explain the quote.
Speaker 1:Ew Gross. Gross, gross I'm like no, no, Tell me what. Yeah, that's pretty much, tell me what. Millie meets him at the door and is just sort of like, yeah, tell me what guy.
Speaker 2:Right, so she makes them all come down. Oh, she's like and shave, they're all like cause. They're all like mini earlier, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:And when they come down to to breakfast, they're all like in, only they only have blankets wrapped around them.
Speaker 2:Sorry, wonder boys itching. It was itching himself on that rag and it was very cute.
Speaker 3:When cults, the first thing you do for obedience is humiliation but like I mean, needed some They, they, yeah, I mean there's a reason that cults use that, because it's a, it's just a general rule of humanity.
Speaker 1:Well, also, uh like, when cults do that, they do it with a small number of people in front of a large group of people, And this is like one woman, one small woman of, uh, you know like pretty much telling them what's what to like six very large men.
Speaker 2:She's the Charlie Manson of the group. Oh, okay, So this is where my notes to go. They're hotter with beards Now. They all look like that bad. Not Prince dude from frozen, I mean valid.
Speaker 1:Yeah, oh, i also wrote down that the scene is pretty risky for the 1950s Cause, like they're almost see some mannip Yeah, almost, and they are much more polite this time.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and they're like I'm gonna go to the side and then, and then they're very much like. After you, please pass the pancakes.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's like. It's like their, their mom, their. I could see their mom being the kind of woman who was like we're going to instill these in them. So they have that like incline. They know what they're supposed to do. They just don't have anybody who's enforcing it. And now that they have an older sister who's like, no, you will be doing this, they're like oh okay, i guess we're going to have to do this.
Speaker 2:Where you going, milly, i'm going into town. The flower barrels getting pretty low. Oh, i'd like to go into town with you. Hey, i'll be going down. We're all going to down. Everybody ditches Adam. I'm sure he walked out and he was like where the hell is everybody Road trip? They pull into town and the guys are like hey, look girls. I never seen a girl before. I ain't never really seen a girl. Oh, they do mention that earlier. Like we've never seen a girl. So I would be, how would we ever? she's like how do you expect to get away? And they're like we ain't never seen no girls. Yeah, because they've been weirdly culty up in the hills.
Speaker 1:Well, it's like they just have different priorities.
Speaker 2:She had told them, i think, to be nice to girls, and one of them walks up to a girl And this is the thing, they're all interchangeable nearly every scene, until they get their different colored shirts Right. So I just, i always like all of my notes are like one of them goes up and does this, yeah. He offers a tobacco, you want a chal of tobacco, and she's like. And he's like what did you do? Nothing. I just offered her a piece of tobacco. That way, i was told me you do that. And the brother brother goes I don't know, it's good tobacco, i don't know. And then the one guy just throws a punch. Yeah, like they start fighting, and I don't know. What does Gideon say out though, cause he's in the store with me He's like oh, it's us Right, Okay, and then they go through a window, like literally a glass window, which is a fantastic trope that we've all seen a million times. Really well done in Red Dwarf, in the backwards episode. The best part of the backwards episode is when somebody goes I, he's speaking backwards, and then he plays it forwards. He goes I'm saying this for all of those nerds who will Rewind this so that they can hear me speaking backwards. No it's a really funny episode, highly recommend. But but, like I, okay, so glass is incredibly expensive, right. So they, they, they. They spent a lot of money on glass just then. Now they don't I mean, they don't come across as a very moneyed people.
Speaker 3:So I'm wondering there wasn't really insurance for that kind of thing back then.
Speaker 2:No, they'd have to pay out of pocket and I'm sure she wasn't walking or she was just had buying flower money like so.
Speaker 1:Well, she also has a lot of clout in the town, so I wouldn't be surprised if she like, maybe, maybe she does something, maybe she like convinces the store owners.
Speaker 2:I feel like Adam would pay for that window. Yeah, boys being boys Like.
Speaker 1:I mean like he did bring like $60 worth of leather back in the 1800s. No, it was six dollars. No, it was six dollars a pound and they had ten pounds like just over ten pounds, so it was like $60 worth of leather. A bit of money, Yeah so Millie is very upset over the fact that she has to break it back in that I think the the guy's doing the fighting is Ben and he like is just like, like rough housing at this point and when she's like Stop it, he's like okay, and then he just punches, three punches and they're stacked like cordwood. I know brilliant. And then when they go back ups, when they go back up their Like, like they're talking about like, well, you know what? what do we do to court the females and don't grab a girl like a flapjack? Wait a while.
Speaker 2:Okay, okay, okay.
Speaker 1:They are. They are consulting with a woman on how to approach other women. This is more progressive than some men on YouTube. Some, some, some, some. Yeah, but it is 1950s. So you got the 1950s ideas like you know, if she runs away, you're supposed to go after her. No, i know if she moves away you let her what?
Speaker 2:oh wait, you don't let her. She gets to. Yeah, you don't let a woman do anything. She gets to do the thing. Yeah, she's autonomous right.
Speaker 1:So this what we're talking about is like the next musical number, where they're going car and Da, da da, da, da da da, femi-femi nine. Yeah, the Okay. So two things that I really liked in this, in this musical number, is she says She's like oh, you got a grimp and grown like you're in pain, and one of them goes over, like doubles over, like I'm like you, just you just made it seem like you're constipated.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's how you show someone that you give a shit about them. You make a noise like you're yourself to death.
Speaker 1:The second thing is at the very end. They're like we don't want all of these masculine things because we're gonna go court, and and I thought that was really cute.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, we don't need hunting, we don't need fishing, we're going a court. Did you notice during that song? they're like all over her. They, like a man, handle her body a Lot and they've, they've known each other maybe a week or two like just bad.
Speaker 1:Anyways, let's get some gay shirts so in them there, she mentions that in a month there's gonna be a barn raising. And so a month goes by and And she's looking at them, they all have their nails out and she's looking to make sure that they're all done up. They got each. Each of them have a different colored shirt. And When she goes over to Gideon she's like What happened here is like oh, i use the lie to get some dirt off my nails, but took out of a fingernail, yeah dang near, took the nail off.
Speaker 2:Could like they.
Speaker 1:That's that stuff from a fight club that they like, brand themselves with yeah, and, and these, these guys are just sort of like might as well fight club is another cult if you notice Frank's hands, fingers are just lifted slightly from his palms.
Speaker 2:Oh, which is very feminine. Oh, that's actually a physiological thing, like if you put your hand on a table, women have greater lift with their fingers palm down, which I think it's something that's very true about you, jen. You can cut this out, but like you have like a good lift. I'm probably. It's probably not true, but it's one of those factoidy books that Abraham that had back in like the 90s.
Speaker 1:If your hand is bigger than your face, you have cancer.
Speaker 4:I mean that gag just doesn't work as well. On the podcast.
Speaker 2:Have you done that one where, like, you take somebody's hand, normally it's a younger person and you're like you, you're like her, i can make your hands smell like peanut butter and you like. Like, you rub your hands, like do like a fake little, like shim, shamity, doo doo, and then, like you, you're like, okay, now smell it. And they smell it, and then you smack them. You've distracted them so much. I've done it to literally dozens of people and I only realize this year that I was a bully. I Thought I was funny. I really did. I thought I was funny, but no, i was just a asshole like the episode of 30 Rock where Liz realizes she's a asshole. Yeah, that's me I. I hate that episode because I'm like No, i was that guy Like I was. I'm like I don't talk smack, constantly talk smack. I was never mean to people, just mean in a way that wasn't super obvious so that I was like a certain people We know. I always had plausible deniability. I could be like well, i never said that she was a jerk, i just said she was acting like a jerk. They don't have loose morals, they're just, you know, they just date a lot and have sex with those people. Like I Just can't, i wish I could go back and smack myself a little bit. This is why I'm getting into counseling. Okay, so barn raisin. Yeah, the gay shirts do it for me. In this scene, i, i love a rainbow. About a rainbow scarf today.
Speaker 1:Mm-hmm, the. They arrive at the barn raising and, like all of these women are like Oh, who are all of these, these, these, these men that we've never met before? They're all tall like trees and one of them is like oh, it's really, i'm gonna go over.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, no, no, we should totally go hang out with Millie.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Let's go for some Millie, yeah.
Speaker 1:Okay, And then they go over there and they start like like taking stuff out, of like like food that got made.
Speaker 2:Can we bring stuff over for you? And Millie starts. Well, actually Adam starts handing stuff out of the cart and every time, like a woman goes to grab a thing, like one of them steps in and is like oh, would you like me to carry that for you?
Speaker 1:And like it's kind of like at one point one of the guys says like she says, follow me. And he says to the ends of the earth.
Speaker 2:Oh, and then they run out of stuff right With. Alice is there and Gideon is there, And I was like I don't have anything else.
Speaker 1:Did you notice that Alison was just looking at Gideon? She wasn't even paying attention to Adam. That's why you had to say it twice.
Speaker 2:Oh, gideon's like oh, can I walk you back?
Speaker 1:And she's like yeah, do you know what he says? He says you know you're the most prettiest girl I ever saw.
Speaker 2:It's like it's like They are the cutest couple, they're the cutest of them all, they're the cutest, and then she's all. So Millie turns to Adam and is just like see what some manners can do, maybe you should get some. And he's like what do I need manners for? I'm already married And I'm like gross, gross, gross gross.
Speaker 1:Another one that I put on my gross list Yeah, because they're all from Adam's.
Speaker 2:Yeah, one of the things I like about being married to Jen is that I mean, i know that I'm still growing emotionally and like be trying to be a better person, but like the fact that Jen is, even when upset with me is like genuinely polite, like that is something I like about us. And so when I see other people, people are just like we're. We're together, so we can be rude to each other.
Speaker 1:I'm like no, no.
Speaker 2:You want to treat somebody with the kind of respect that you want back. You need to actively act, even if you don't feel like you need to act like you love. Somebody Like Jen could have yelled at me and I bet you 15 minutes later if I was like, can you give me a cup of coffee? She'd be like, fine, and I would go. Thank you, you're welcome. Did you want cream? No, thank you.
Speaker 3:Do you want your caramel salted chocolate?
Speaker 2:I do like my caramel salted chocolate with my coffee. Yes, please, And then and then. it takes a lot of the heat off. You can't stay really mad at somebody who shows you love and respect.
Speaker 3:So much of that is just learned in the first five years of your life and how you see other people treat each other.
Speaker 2:It comes with your spiritual principles too. It's one of my favorite rants from Jesus. When he's just like, everybody likes their friends. Show me how you treat someone. You're mad at Someone you deeply disagree with. Show me that So he's supposed to like her. He's like, but I don't have to respect you, adam. Yeah.
Speaker 4:I'm married. I don't have to further myself as a person.
Speaker 2:Right Mission accomplished.
Speaker 1:Well, i was not needed. Being the first scene of this film, that doesn't surprise me.
Speaker 2:All the men in town are wearing great, great Nope. They're wearing gray shirts because they don't matter.
Speaker 1:Yeah, also, all of the women have very colorful dresses on because it's to foreshadow their eventual like partner partnering up.
Speaker 2:This is now we're launching into a we're at the barn raising dance and they I mean this is the best scene I will never accurately described to anybody.
Speaker 1:It's a it's a full on dance number. For anybody who has seen RRR. There is a musical, there's a number in that. So the thing about like Bollywood is that music, dance and singing are all like integral to each other. So when you have a musical number or when you do have people who are singing, there's generally you know, dancing going on, there's, you know singing, and so there's there's a. There's a number in RRR that has the same kind of energy, where you have, like the characters you're rooting for kind of are trying to impress a woman through dance, and so that's kind of what this the scene is doing, where you have like the brothers who are in trying to impress these women through dance and you have like their, their rivals, who are trying to dance as well, but they don't do nearly as good of a job.
Speaker 2:Yes, and then back and forth, like it, the energy gives me that feeling of that. that dance from Adams family values or no Adams family For the, the, we dance the.
Speaker 1:We dance the Oh, the animated one.
Speaker 2:No, no, no, no. Well, no, and they might actually do it in the animated one, but like it was done first in the movie, The one with Angelica Houston. Yeah, I want to be like we dance the Mamushka, except that looks like a mouse, so that's not right. The babuska, the watusi, fester and Gomez they dance together.
Speaker 1:I don't remember that from the first movie. I'll send you a link. It's pretty awesome. Okay, it probably is.
Speaker 2:It's really good. It's a lot of that kind of jumping. We're dancing by jumping at each other.
Speaker 1:See, i remember in the animated one there is this sort of like. What I'm remembering from the animated one is where there's like a sword dance. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's that.
Speaker 2:But it's better in the live action Just because it's like so No, maybe it's not Fester, maybe it's Morticia and him.
Speaker 1:All the dance members? oh no, they're Fester.
Speaker 3:It's.
Speaker 1:Fester. because the jumping, aggressive, dancing part Right, because the dance in Adam's Family Values is the one between Gomez and Morticia.
Speaker 2:Which is equally good, but not the energy I'm talking about.
Speaker 1:It ends with the corks going off the champagne stuff So good, yeah, but that one that's like. I guess there's like a little bit of that feel, but if there was like a third party who was trying to get in between the two of them, which wouldn't work at all because they would both just kill the person, Yes, okay.
Speaker 2:So they start the dance number, they end the dance number at the end, so they're back and forth. They do like this hand fighting thing between the men.
Speaker 1:Right like in between the dance number themselves, there's like these little moments where guys will square off. And there's this one moment where they're like they're fighting by pushing the arm back and forth on a balance while bouncing.
Speaker 2:Yes, Yeah. So It's all pretty good, but it ends with, like the girls feigning like they're gonna go to the gray guys and instead they go to the gay guys, Named only that because of the color of their shirt.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:Which I know is probably technically very wrong, And if you're offended I'm very sorry, but please understand that I don't hold gayness as badness, and it's just that they're wearing rainbow shirts.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:But they like, they're like oh, we're going to you, Gray's, And they're like, and they jump into the arms.
Speaker 1:Of their respective brothers. Yes, yeah.
Speaker 2:So now, why don't we just raise up a barn?
Speaker 1:So let's see, you got like four different groups. You got the Adam and his brothers. You got like two other. You got another group. Oh no, after Adam was like oh, we'll go ahead and raise up one of those sides, millie's eye and that heifer, yeah, because they got a prize if you eat the wall at first, it's a cow. It's a cow. It's like a baby cow. It's a calf.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, okay, but a heifer is a cow.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's what I was trying to explain to the plotters.
Speaker 2:Oh, the applauders.
Speaker 1:Yeah So because there've been a lot like. I mean, i wouldn't want someone to think that it was like a big lady.
Speaker 2:Oh my God. No, but it does. The way that the guy talks about the cow that everybody wants is the way they talk about the women that everybody wants, and I'm like the parallels are not comfortable.
Speaker 1:Yeah, The guy who's announcing the prize is like do you hear that? That's Adam Potipy He last time he came in he was like he's gonna get himself a wife, and then he did And he always gets what he wants.
Speaker 2:He always gets what he wants. And so he's gonna be Look on Jen's face.
Speaker 1:So the guy makes the comment you gotta watch out for him. And then there's another group of the gray-suited guys who kind of come together And they're like we'll take care of them. They got their hammers out and everything And I'm like conveniently brought hammers.
Speaker 2:Well, like now they were raising a barn. Yeah, They're raising a barn with some guys who are raised in a barn, you know what. Okay, so the guys are working really hard to try to win this cow And the other guys start being aggressive towards them, like hitting them and like punching them, and Adam's not catching any of it. They're just like oh no, i stubbed my toe, oh no, i just, you know, i kicked it. And then Adam's like well, if you're putting up with it, it's because you're stupid.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Like a guy gets hit in the head with a board.
Speaker 1:I'd be like that's too much Right When Adam finally catches that these other barn raisers are cheating cheaters.
Speaker 2:Well, he already caught them, But when he got mad about it?
Speaker 1:He was like I hope they break your neck.
Speaker 2:Well, yeah, but okay. But then he sees somebody throw a hammer and hit his brother in the head And he's like that's too far, that's too much. Attempted murder is where this needs to end, which, now that I say it out loud, it's not a good line, right.
Speaker 1:But they're like no, we're trying to be nice about it, And they're trying, they're just trying to get through it. And when someone attacks Adam, that's when Gideon is just sort of like hey, don't you dare go after my brother, And that's what I'm doing.
Speaker 2:He's not doing anything. He's not trying to get your woman Yeah, he's just trying to get a cow, yeah.
Speaker 1:For his wife that he's known for like a couple of months at this point.
Speaker 2:Fight sequence And you know, plotters, how good we are at describing fight sequences.
Speaker 1:And then the board gets thrown and then the punch goes into the face.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's a lot of back and forth. I punch you, you punch me, we'll run in, you run out, fall out a window, roll down a thing, climb up some ladders, jump down from the thing, like, and all of the townspeople, literally at least a hundred people, all just watch And Millie, who has gotten up into everybody's face about everything that she should have gotten up in their face about, decides to cry. She gives them one manner lesson.
Speaker 1:One. So one of my favorite parts in that is Gideon gets thrown out of the barn and then he goes back in, but he gets kicked out, and that happens twice, Yeah, And then he goes up to the top by like climbing a rope. And then when he gets up to the top he like throws himself down and he gets like three guys.
Speaker 2:It's pretty great. The announcer guy runs in and he can't. He's like stop, stop, stop. People just start punching him and he runs into walls and stuff. He's not, he's just bad at being around people fighting.
Speaker 1:When the fight is actually over, all four sides of the barn fall down and the only people left standing are Adam and his brothers.
Speaker 2:And they're like yeah.
Speaker 1:And Millie's over here crying a single tear.
Speaker 2:She's meeping.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:But then she administers first aid. She's like she's putting witch hazel, which is a I think it's antiseptic. It's got antiseptic properties, but it's like very like Woods knowledge sort of thing. So she's very like resourceful.
Speaker 1:They got they got black eyes, and so she's like put a steak on it beef steaks, yeah.
Speaker 2:And then the ones guy like what's wrong with you? And he's like got kicked in the pants and I'm like She doesn't do anything for him. And then she, she gets down to kitty and and she's like what's wrong?
Speaker 1:and he's all like I got bruised knuckles and and And a loose tooth, and she's like it's a wonder you got any teeth left. Yeah, so she's really disappointed and they're disappointed And she's like you can all go back, go on to bed, and she's just tended to get in and he's just sort of like I have a funny Feeling in my stomach and it's like, oh, he's, he's, he's in love because he met a girl that twice time, one time Yeah she was the prettiest girl he ever saw, though, so so he wanders outside where where Adams, in a fit of advice, starts singing him Her love song from earlier when you're in love. There's tonal dissonance between the way that he's speaking, because he's using a lot of aintz and y'all's, and then when he sings, it's operatic.
Speaker 2:Yeah well, millie comes to the door and she gets all doughy, do we? eyed and she's like, oh, he gets it right. And then Adam stops singing and he goes. And if you don't, if you can't land this one, then don't worry. All women are pretty. Oh wait, he's all.
Speaker 1:I have written Yeah, yeah, yeah, one woman's pretty much like the next and I'm like gross.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they're interchangeable, for they only serve functions. Yeah, like you know, cleaning up and cooking and sex, let's go to the worst song or the bet song beg to differ can't make no To a herd of cows a man can't sleep when he sleeps with sheep Can't shoot the breeze with a bunch of trees. And that's the entire song.
Speaker 1:No, no, the song also has, like axes, chomping, chomping. What guy who dances with the axe?
Speaker 2:he swings it around all will. Jen was like this is where the safety breaks down for me. Not jumping off of barns and brawling with every other guy and yourselves, but like the guy who's like Like that's not safe. Mmm, your Eagle Scout is showing Knife down, hand handle first.
Speaker 3:This is the scene that Sean says was shot in one take.
Speaker 2:It's pretty. I mean it's pretty long, i would say, for a single shot, so go on them. Did they have to do that one shot multiple times though?
Speaker 1:No, no, it was in one, it was one take one take one time, one shot. Yeah, so the like they have what. So What we're seeing as the audience is like maybe cuts to different cameras, but all of those cameras are running at the same time. Oh, yeah, well, it really does get across the depression When that is what they are. They are very depressed. Millie goes into the barn and she's talking with Ben. He's just like. I think I'm gonna leave before we get snowed in her, her Star Trek warning lights go off.
Speaker 2:She's like what, what, what?
Speaker 1:she goes right at him is just sort of like he's grieving for his girls. They're all grieving for their girls and and I had this idea that there would be babies around at Christmas and birthdays And if he leaves then they're all gonna leave and I can't get my my happy ending. So he's like I'll talk to them.
Speaker 2:That's where the screaming continues.
Speaker 1:My note is oh, this is where it gets bad. This is where it gets criminal Criminal yeah of my list of things that make me say gross. I'm just like the entire number of sobbing women, which is the one we're getting to right now applauders.
Speaker 2:Jen, how did you feel watching Sobbing women? because here's the thing I forgot about this part of the plot.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah something I wanted to block for my own sanity, but you knew exactly who the Saban women were. Did it like hit your stomach? or tell me how you're experienced with that?
Speaker 3:Oh well, i don't remember this from mythology class, but I remember some reference to the rape of the sobbing women or Saban women and and I knew that this play movie was based off of Something related to that. But I didn't realize that they were gonna be self-referential in there In the way that they're gonna do that. We have whole movies dedicated to the heist of some bank and it takes the whole movie to figure out how they're gonna do this, this heist of money, and They steal seven women in like an hour.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and I can't believe that we went from Rocky Horror, where we had some dubious consent concerns, to this arguably worse movie, except for, like, the one murder in that movie like that could have been justified. For very obvious reasons, i'm just saying like movie is objectively worse when it comes to hijacking people.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it was 20 years earlier, though. Like literally came out 20 years before Rocky Horror and it was like supposedly more conventional than Rocky Horror.
Speaker 2:It's a good, solid Christian film.
Speaker 1:You know those sobbin's of women. We're gonna kidnap them.
Speaker 2:It's a big number and it goes on and, and, and the, and Adam already has a cart hitched up, slay hitched up, and because it's already snowing, mm-hmm. And he's all like let's go get the girls. And they're like yes, and so they grab rope and blankets and Do not consult the one woman in proximity who would be like no.
Speaker 1:Yeah no.
Speaker 2:Yeah you freaking, fracking, double smack in not understanding, you know.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but you know they got to do it right then there, and that's when my note goes It's the goofiest horror movie I've ever seen.
Speaker 2:I just wrote yoink Cuz I mean it's pretty simple for them all to go collect their respective Persons. The guys like one guy figures it out but he gets conked before he conks the one he was gonna conk. That sounds right. Anyways, this one guys kind of oh, yeah, yeah, okay.
Speaker 1:So Gideon's outside Alice's house and he's meowing like a cat, Mm-hmm, and I'm very good. Yeah, which on some levels is kind of accurate, like it's still bad And the, the guy who's like hanging out with Alice, goes out to get the cat and he realizes that it's Gideon and he He goes ahead and grabs a shovel and he, he goes ahead and and meow's like a cat behind Gideon and getting realizes It turns around and then, before the guy can get the shovel down, one of the brothers grabs the shovel. No, he goes.
Speaker 2:He goes meow too. So, so Gideon goes meow and the guy grabs a shovel and he goes meow. Gideon's like oh, and then he's about to get hit when a brother pops up from behind the fence and goes meow, and then just With his fist and the guy goes down like a second potatoes Yeah. Later on, when the men are like, yeah, no, the girls were like one of the door kisses gone, like one guy who gets knocked out, he goes, he goes. I had all seven of them on me. Yeah, there's one catunk from one guy.
Speaker 1:I know, oh, also after. After Gideon gets after, the guy gets thunked.
Speaker 2:That's when Gideon starts going meow, meow meow, i'm like I gotta go get that cat and then I don't like.
Speaker 1:I'm like, look, this is an accurate representation of a cat right there. That's more accurate than the first one.
Speaker 2:But as Alice walks out, uh, the the orange cat, you know, i love me an orange boy jumps up on her mom's lap And she's like oh you know, don't worry about Alice, he's right here. And then she's yanked as well. They all meet up, uh, a chase ensues, a chase that felt entirely too long, but what was worse was The avalanche itself.
Speaker 3:Okay, oh, we forgot to mention checkoffs. Uh, checkoffs pass.
Speaker 2:Oh, yeah, check, Okay. So there's echo canyon and uh. While they're going out in the uh, in the traveling to the cabin, to the first, the first time scene, adam exposits Yeah, like, uh, because she was, she's like I'm just so happy. I feel like yelling. He goes why don't you? and she goes, ah, and he's like that's just echo canyon and uh. And in the wintertime, uh, you have to be real quiet because, uh, any kind of sound will make the avalanche clear the pass. We can't get up here for six, six months or whatever.
Speaker 1:Yeah. And so, as they're going up this, this, this canyon, uh, when they finally cross over into it, they let the women all yell and they like, you know, boo, they, they, they got their guns and they're like, yeah, yeah, they're causing all this, and then there's an avalanche, and that avalanche goes on for 47 hours, mm-hmm.
