Welcome to Freqy Friday on Parallel Frequencies. Blane and Coco are back at Land of a Thousand Hills coffee shop to tackle a week of tech issues and deep-seated conspiracies. We start by honoring the "Mutant Family" as we discuss Joe Bob Briggs' status on Shudder and the importance of physical media in an age of digital erasure.

The heart of the episode is a visceral deconstruction of Bugonia. We explore Jesse Plemons’ terrifyingly quiet intensity, Emma Stone’s fearless commitment (including that shaved head), and the neurodivergent brilliance of newcomer Aiden Delvis. But it’s not just a movie review—it’s a philosophical debate. Coco discusses the real-world disappearance of bees in Utah and how it mirrors the film’s themes of environmental collapse. Is the extinction of humanity a tragedy, or is it a "service" to the Earth?

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.200
It is parallel frequencies. I am just playing.

00:00:02.620 --> 00:00:04.860
This is Coco. You are the freaks, and we are

00:00:04.860 --> 00:00:07.919
at our favorite coffee shop once again. I know.

00:00:07.919 --> 00:00:09.599
How lucky are we that we had tech issues and

00:00:09.599 --> 00:00:11.119
we get to be here every day of the week? Yeah,

00:00:11.119 --> 00:00:13.460
right? We love Amber. We love Land of a Thousand

00:00:13.460 --> 00:00:15.660
Hills. Thank you for letting us be here. Got

00:00:15.660 --> 00:00:17.780
my breakfast. Oh, yeah. What is this breakfast

00:00:17.780 --> 00:00:20.079
you got here? What is it? I got my chili crunch

00:00:20.079 --> 00:00:23.179
toast. Hold on. Look out. I've been... Look at

00:00:23.179 --> 00:00:25.899
the presentation of this bad boy. This is beautiful.

00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:27.239
I almost slid it right off. Did you see that?

00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:28.940
I almost slid your breakfast right off into the

00:00:28.940 --> 00:00:30.940
floor. That's what I've been munching on while

00:00:30.940 --> 00:00:34.640
I've been waiting today. The tech issues have

00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:39.500
really been out of control, but this is a plus

00:00:39.500 --> 00:00:42.420
from having the tech issues. And today... I don't

00:00:42.420 --> 00:00:45.479
mind. It's Freaky Friday. It's only Friday. We're

00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:47.340
at the end of the week already. And you know

00:00:47.340 --> 00:00:50.280
what we do on Freaky Friday? We look at comments

00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:52.810
from the freaks. And then they are coming in.

00:00:52.969 --> 00:00:56.030
I still can't believe people watch this. You

00:00:56.030 --> 00:00:58.670
guys are watching us. I cannot believe you watch

00:00:58.670 --> 00:01:00.549
this. What is wrong with you? Why are you doing

00:01:00.549 --> 00:01:03.189
that? I see the numbers going up. I see the comments

00:01:03.189 --> 00:01:10.150
coming in. I'm flabbergasted. But let's get into

00:01:10.150 --> 00:01:12.590
some of these comments right here. And here's

00:01:12.590 --> 00:01:15.650
one from a while back on a clip that we put out

00:01:15.650 --> 00:01:19.709
about Joe Bob's retirement. And I said, shutter

00:01:19.709 --> 00:01:22.799
is going to go down. and this comment from at

00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:27.420
Jason Butler says, I agree with you 100%. That's

00:01:27.420 --> 00:01:30.420
the only thing you can do about this whole situation.

00:01:31.079 --> 00:01:34.060
You can agree and that's it. Joe Bob fans. Joe

00:01:34.060 --> 00:01:36.219
Bob did not leave. It did come out. He did not

00:01:36.219 --> 00:01:39.000
leave on his own accord. There was some other

00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:42.599
stuff going on there, but yeah, I totally 100

00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:46.739
% agree. We had another comment about Joe Bob

00:01:46.739 --> 00:01:48.980
too, and I'll get to that one, but we had someone

00:01:48.980 --> 00:01:52.200
on Alien. Remember when we did Alien? Talking

00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:56.219
about Ripley, she was at Ariba. Says she was

00:01:56.219 --> 00:01:58.379
good because she was believable, she was vulnerable,

00:01:58.519 --> 00:02:01.359
and she was scared. But she still succeeded.

00:02:01.579 --> 00:02:03.540
Yeah, because that's pretty realistic. I mean,

00:02:03.579 --> 00:02:06.079
we'd be terrified in this situation. I mean,

00:02:06.140 --> 00:02:10.060
would you not? But our will to live, right? What,

00:02:10.340 --> 00:02:12.860
it outweighs? Outweighs how scared you could

00:02:12.860 --> 00:02:16.250
be. Maybe. I think so. I think so. That really

00:02:16.250 --> 00:02:19.129
makes me question myself, what it takes to survive

00:02:19.129 --> 00:02:21.090
or what I'd be like. I'm really scared. I'm going

00:02:21.090 --> 00:02:25.750
to let myself just... Yeah. And here's some comments

00:02:25.750 --> 00:02:31.669
for you, Coco. And it's at Desman5079. And they're

00:02:31.669 --> 00:02:33.210
talking about your show. I don't remember what

00:02:33.210 --> 00:02:35.650
the show is called. Is it Alone? Remember when

00:02:35.650 --> 00:02:37.370
we talked about Alone? He says, I was rooting

00:02:37.370 --> 00:02:40.409
for Timber all the way. Me too. But there was

00:02:40.409 --> 00:02:43.090
absolutely no way he was going to outlast William.

00:02:43.250 --> 00:02:46.840
Great season. Yeah, that was a that they were

00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:49.000
neck -and -neck. I mean, but Timber had such

00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:53.860
a personality that I think I Don't know made

00:02:53.860 --> 00:02:55.539
you want to root for him a little more just because

00:02:55.539 --> 00:02:58.039
you feel you felt like you got to know him so

00:02:58.039 --> 00:03:00.500
much better Yeah, maybe yeah, they were thinking

00:03:00.500 --> 00:03:02.960
about that. They were all solid guys I was I

00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:05.379
was really proud of everybody on that show mostly

00:03:05.379 --> 00:03:07.180
because I know I couldn't have survived myself,

00:03:07.180 --> 00:03:11.080
but you know What what I want to bring back about

00:03:11.080 --> 00:03:12.919
that show what we talked about was that it's

00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:15.340
not just your skills and your Fortitude and your

00:03:15.340 --> 00:03:17.960
endurance and your physical health. Those are

00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:21.539
all components. They're important But almost

00:03:21.539 --> 00:03:29.719
everybody going into it has those it's the It's

00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:32.500
the emotional intelligence that I think gets

00:03:32.500 --> 00:03:36.599
them to the end Yeah, I mean you're trying to

00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:38.909
survive is what it is, right? What are they doing?

00:03:39.009 --> 00:03:40.930
Were they alone out on an island? What is this?

00:03:41.050 --> 00:03:43.229
Yeah, they drop them off on completely different

00:03:43.229 --> 00:03:44.830
places. They're absolutely alone. They don't

00:03:44.830 --> 00:03:46.969
even have a camera crew. They have med checks

00:03:46.969 --> 00:03:48.490
so that the only time they see another person

00:03:48.490 --> 00:03:50.389
is when the med checks come and just like make

00:03:50.389 --> 00:03:52.210
sure that they're alive. Make sure that they're

00:03:52.210 --> 00:03:54.889
not, you know, check their pulse, starving themselves

00:03:54.889 --> 00:04:00.250
out. But yeah, so part of the challenge of staying

00:04:00.250 --> 00:04:02.409
out there as long as you can, and they know going

00:04:02.409 --> 00:04:04.069
into it, they may have to stay out there for

00:04:04.069 --> 00:04:07.830
three months, like. It's last one standing, so

00:04:07.830 --> 00:04:11.169
they have no idea until someone comes to get

00:04:11.169 --> 00:04:13.150
them and say, hey, you're it. You're the last

00:04:13.150 --> 00:04:15.370
one. Good job. You won. They are not going to

00:04:15.370 --> 00:04:17.389
know. What if they win? They get money? $250

00:04:17.389 --> 00:04:20.649
,000, I think, is the prize money on that. That's

00:04:20.649 --> 00:04:22.129
worth going out there in the middle of nowhere

00:04:22.129 --> 00:04:24.250
for. I'd do that. And a lot of them are like,

00:04:24.430 --> 00:04:27.009
I really can use this money for whatever reason.

00:04:27.209 --> 00:04:29.209
They all have their reasons. Really, really good

00:04:29.209 --> 00:04:32.479
reasons. I wonder if we could do a loan. Utah

00:04:32.479 --> 00:04:34.199
version. I bet we could probably get a group

00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:37.680
of people, put them out in the woods. Yeah. I'd

00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:40.819
join up on that. It would be easier here than

00:04:40.819 --> 00:04:43.000
the places that they put them. I'm guessing.

00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:44.439
Oh, I'm sure. I'm sure. They got to put them,

00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:45.899
they got to get them away from them. They put

00:04:45.899 --> 00:04:49.879
them in like the Arctic circle. I could do, no,

00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:52.019
that's not there. I could do cold. I couldn't

00:04:52.019 --> 00:04:55.860
do the hot. I could do the cold as long as I

00:04:55.860 --> 00:04:58.720
had enough to keep me warm, which I figured that

00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:01.430
out. Here we go. Do you remember when we talked

00:05:01.430 --> 00:05:03.730
about digital media versus physical media? Yes.

00:05:03.750 --> 00:05:06.589
I know the freaks do because they went in on

00:05:06.589 --> 00:05:12.550
the comments. And this comment from at Chef Sam

00:05:12.550 --> 00:05:15.949
says, I still buy a DVD if I want to watch a

00:05:15.949 --> 00:05:19.129
movie. Yep. And left it at that. And I get that.

00:05:19.329 --> 00:05:22.589
So he only, I'm assuming Chef Sam is a guy, he

00:05:22.589 --> 00:05:25.569
only wants. to watch a movie if it is a physical

00:05:25.569 --> 00:05:28.889
copy. And I do not blame him one bit. I get that.

00:05:28.889 --> 00:05:32.149
I had this conversation last night. This conversation

00:05:32.149 --> 00:05:36.529
came up with me and my wife, Lindsay, after me

00:05:36.529 --> 00:05:39.529
and you ran across what we thought was gonna

00:05:39.529 --> 00:05:42.610
be an innocent movie for us to do, toys. Yep.

00:05:42.750 --> 00:05:44.709
And we could not find the damn movie anywhere.

00:05:44.730 --> 00:05:47.350
Wednesday show, yep. And Lindsay, we start going

00:05:47.350 --> 00:05:49.910
down this rabbit hole of, she's like, well, what

00:05:49.910 --> 00:05:52.490
are they hiding? What's in this movie that we...

00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:56.160
Can't see that's a good question and It got me

00:05:56.160 --> 00:05:58.319
thinking even more about the physical first digital

00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:00.740
media and you've got to keep your physical copies

00:06:00.740 --> 00:06:03.040
of me I have friends that are canceling all of

00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:06.000
their streaming services and they move close

00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:09.220
enough to a large library a County library that

00:06:09.220 --> 00:06:12.839
has a pretty big DVD collection So they're like

00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:14.699
any time we want to go see something. We just

00:06:14.699 --> 00:06:16.819
go right we go get it at the library and watch

00:06:16.819 --> 00:06:19.379
it I love it. That's where they're at and I'm

00:06:19.379 --> 00:06:22.509
like I don't hate that Because we can that's

00:06:22.509 --> 00:06:24.110
pretty we talked about it We should do a whole

00:06:24.110 --> 00:06:26.730
episode on the Mandela effect because I do love

00:06:26.730 --> 00:06:29.649
it I do believe that there are some Mandela effects

00:06:29.649 --> 00:06:32.550
out there, but like I said before Some of that

00:06:32.550 --> 00:06:35.329
is not Mandela effect and it is the corporations

00:06:35.329 --> 00:06:38.129
taking out stuff We saw a comment last time that

00:06:38.129 --> 00:06:40.230
mentioned Darryl Hannah's butt getting covered

00:06:40.230 --> 00:06:43.470
up by Disney in splash. Yeah, are you serious?

00:06:43.550 --> 00:06:45.389
I still believe that's the biggest crime against

00:06:45.389 --> 00:06:47.889
humanity that there's ever been because you should

00:06:47.889 --> 00:06:50.079
never cover up a butt that beautiful Interesting

00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:52.019
because zero Hannah was mentioned in an episode.

00:06:52.019 --> 00:06:56.920
I was watching a rerun of friends Which was like

00:06:56.920 --> 00:06:58.899
why her name mentioned right after we talked

00:06:58.899 --> 00:07:01.480
about her? Yes, that's like universal coincidences

00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:04.160
that are Just kind of like happens. I guess it

00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:07.699
happened. Yeah. Yes a head scratcher a chin scratcher.

00:07:07.819 --> 00:07:10.860
Yeah One more comment here and it's about Joe

00:07:10.860 --> 00:07:15.379
Bob And it came from at jughead 82. I watched

00:07:15.379 --> 00:07:18.189
the show and it's so messed up I have been a

00:07:18.189 --> 00:07:21.370
fan of John Bloom aka Joe Bob Briggs since the

00:07:21.370 --> 00:07:25.509
monster vision days on TNT. I feel you. The news

00:07:25.509 --> 00:07:29.329
that Shudder is ending the show off. They will

00:07:29.329 --> 00:07:31.850
have four episodes coming this year with April

00:07:31.850 --> 00:07:34.470
24th being the first special so let's not forget

00:07:34.470 --> 00:07:37.589
Joe Bob is still on Shudder a couple times. Joe

00:07:37.589 --> 00:07:42.009
Bob is a legend and I am a proud mutant at the

00:07:42.009 --> 00:07:45.389
drive -in and it will never die. I'm right there

00:07:45.389 --> 00:07:48.720
with you. We are. Members of the mutant family

00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:55.740
maybe by extension I'm definitely a member but

00:07:55.740 --> 00:07:59.199
I totally agree with Jughead and I don't think

00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:02.220
I'd ever say I would agree with Jughead But I

00:08:02.220 --> 00:08:04.220
love when we get names like that too. I love

00:08:04.220 --> 00:08:07.019
those usernames Yeah, but I think that that's

00:08:07.019 --> 00:08:09.759
gonna do it for Freaky Friday. We love the comments

00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:14.120
coming in We can't get to them all This is coming.

00:08:14.180 --> 00:08:16.259
This is our way. This is our way to get to them

00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:18.639
Want to hear more. I want to hear what you guys

00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:20.439
think about these movies. We're talking about

00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:24.519
in today's movie. Holy cat Oh my gosh, because

00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:28.519
it's feature Friday as well and I don't know

00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:30.860
why I put off watching this movie and I say that

00:08:30.860 --> 00:08:33.480
all the time. I'm like it I think I figured it

00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:35.580
out so many hours in a day And that's why I figured

00:08:35.580 --> 00:08:37.399
it out that I can't watch everything when it

00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:39.460
comes out because I'm I'm already loaded man

00:08:39.460 --> 00:08:41.940
There's so much stuff out there coming out. You're

00:08:41.940 --> 00:08:44.639
getting almost content overload Yeah. I like

00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:47.279
to smell flowers. I like to take hikes. I like

00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:50.720
to go work out. I like to see my kids once in

00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:52.940
a while. So I can't be in front of the TV watching

00:08:52.940 --> 00:08:56.059
things 24 hours straight. Yes. So we'll get to

00:08:56.059 --> 00:08:58.539
what we get to, I think. And I think what we're

00:08:58.539 --> 00:09:01.100
doing also here at Parallel Frequencies is we're

00:09:01.100 --> 00:09:04.299
curating stuff for you to watch so that you have

00:09:04.299 --> 00:09:06.980
time when you do get that time to watch and sit

00:09:06.980 --> 00:09:09.899
down, go watch one of these movies like today's

00:09:09.899 --> 00:09:13.480
from Peacock. Don't miss this one. Oh my God.

00:09:14.419 --> 00:09:17.480
Right. I mean, the cast alone, you got Emma Stone,

00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:23.259
Jesse Plymouth. I love both of them. And the

00:09:23.259 --> 00:09:25.980
director, Yorgos, we did it. We did the favorite,

00:09:26.179 --> 00:09:30.120
Yorgos. Yes. He directed this. Definitely go

00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:32.879
check out when we picked that movie apart. That

00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:35.820
was incredible. But the same like real vibe,

00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:41.440
the real almost uncomfortableness and reality

00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:45.220
to it. I mean, Nothing is airbrushed out. Everything

00:09:45.220 --> 00:09:49.779
is like, if there's a blemish or a realistic

00:09:49.779 --> 00:09:52.720
or sweat on their face, it's going to be shown

00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:56.139
in this style the way that he does. Yeah. And

00:09:56.139 --> 00:09:58.279
you see this and you look at it and you see all

00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:00.519
the names attached and you see the trailer maybe

00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:03.879
and you look at the cinematography in the trailer

00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:06.960
and you think, all right, this movie is either

00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:10.179
going to win awards or ruin dinner conversations

00:10:10.179 --> 00:10:12.669
for years, basically, because That's the energy

00:10:12.669 --> 00:10:15.029
this movie has given off. And you never really

00:10:15.029 --> 00:10:17.509
know until the very end. You don't know what's

00:10:17.509 --> 00:10:18.769
going on. You don't know who to believe. You

00:10:18.769 --> 00:10:21.789
don't know if this guy's crazy. You don't know

00:10:21.789 --> 00:10:24.269
if she's an alien. There's all these questions.

00:10:24.450 --> 00:10:26.830
And you're sitting there as a viewer just as

00:10:26.830 --> 00:10:29.490
confused the entire time. So if you don't like

00:10:29.490 --> 00:10:32.850
those kinds of movies, not for you. But if you

00:10:32.850 --> 00:10:36.019
like the ones that give you that... Psychological,

00:10:36.279 --> 00:10:38.960
whatever, that. Constantly questioning. Constantly

00:10:38.960 --> 00:10:41.879
questioning what's going on. You gotta check

00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:44.419
this thing out. So many different layers to it,

00:10:44.580 --> 00:10:46.919
it almost felt like as I was watching, or as

00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:50.500
I was, you guys know, I like to sit with me and

00:10:50.500 --> 00:10:51.840
my husband, we'll sit and watch a movie, and

00:10:51.840 --> 00:10:54.039
I have my notebook and I'm writing things furiously

00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:56.340
down while I'm watching, every thought and every,

00:10:56.799 --> 00:11:00.659
this one almost needed columns, because there

00:11:00.659 --> 00:11:02.980
was so many layers of different things happening

00:11:02.980 --> 00:11:05.740
at once. that it was like, well, this is happening

00:11:05.740 --> 00:11:08.860
right here. But then at the same time, this other

00:11:08.860 --> 00:11:10.779
thing is happening underneath the first thing

00:11:10.779 --> 00:11:13.279
that's happening. And then aside from all that,

00:11:13.500 --> 00:11:15.500
there's also this whole other thing happening.

00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:18.799
You don't know. I can't even compartmentalize

00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:20.639
all of it. When you put the genre to this movie,

00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:22.480
you don't know what kind you're watching. You

00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:24.200
don't know if it's an alien invasion. You don't

00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:25.820
know if it's a drama. You don't know if it's

00:11:25.820 --> 00:11:28.759
a dark comedy. Yeah. Satire, you could throw

00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:30.919
all these in there. And what I'm going to tell

00:11:30.919 --> 00:11:34.350
you is it's a mix of all of them. Yeah. Perfectly

00:11:34.350 --> 00:11:35.809
blended. If you haven't seen this movie. This

00:11:35.809 --> 00:11:38.649
is these are spoilers. We are spoiling this So

00:11:38.649 --> 00:11:41.370
if you haven't watched it you need to pause right

00:11:41.370 --> 00:11:45.970
now and then come back to us Freaks come back

00:11:45.970 --> 00:11:48.629
come back to us. Okay, because it's worth watching

00:11:48.629 --> 00:11:50.450
to hear this conversation that we're talking

00:11:50.450 --> 00:11:55.029
about first off Jesse Plymouth Oh, yeah for a

00:11:55.029 --> 00:11:57.049
long time this guy was called fat Damon remember

00:11:57.049 --> 00:12:01.220
that yeah Now, I think he has, I thought he had

00:12:01.220 --> 00:12:03.480
surpassed the Fat Damon days when people were

00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:05.940
even calling him Fat Damon. That was already

00:12:05.940 --> 00:12:08.720
kind of disrespectful. I think, and this is gonna

00:12:08.720 --> 00:12:12.620
be controversial, he is a better actor than Matt

00:12:12.620 --> 00:12:15.919
Damon. For sure. I think Jesse Plymouth is low

00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:18.879
key one of the most dangerous actors working

00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:22.399
right now. He's not loud, he's not flashy, just

00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:25.059
unsettling in a way that creeps up on you. Like

00:12:25.059 --> 00:12:27.440
he doesn't chew up scenery, he's absorbing it.

00:12:27.879 --> 00:12:31.720
when he's in it. And then you've got Emma Stone

00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:35.600
quietly evolved from charismatic star into I

00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:39.139
will dismantle your expectations and smile while

00:12:39.139 --> 00:12:41.399
doing it. She shaved her head in this movie.

00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:45.460
For real. Commitment to this role, to everything.

00:12:45.519 --> 00:12:47.799
I mean, we always kind of act like that's such

00:12:47.799 --> 00:12:51.360
a pivotal thing, but really the level of commitment

00:12:51.360 --> 00:12:53.600
you have to do. Natalie Portman did it, Peter

00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:56.200
Vendetta. You know, we were like, no, they really

00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:59.649
actually... Shave their hair and it is kind of

00:12:59.649 --> 00:13:03.350
a big deal guys. I love my hair If I was told

00:13:03.350 --> 00:13:04.970
that for a role I was gonna have to shave my

00:13:04.970 --> 00:13:07.610
head or that I had the choice to wear wig or

00:13:07.610 --> 00:13:11.029
to shave my head That's a big yeah, probably

00:13:11.029 --> 00:13:14.129
have to go with wig. I have to go That's a big

00:13:14.129 --> 00:13:16.549
commitment for the role. She's in this phase

00:13:16.549 --> 00:13:19.909
now Emma Stone where every role feels like a

00:13:19.909 --> 00:13:22.330
dare Oh, yeah, and this was one of them I mean

00:13:22.330 --> 00:13:24.370
she shaved her hair and then you've got that

00:13:24.370 --> 00:13:26.370
and you've got a mix of Jesse Plymouth and that's

00:13:26.370 --> 00:13:29.769
not just Casting that's chemistry with consequences

00:13:29.769 --> 00:13:34.710
And you see it on film it is high tension it

00:13:34.710 --> 00:13:39.470
is there's a kidnapping yeah and You're you're

00:13:39.470 --> 00:13:41.470
there for every step. They don't really cut away

00:13:41.470 --> 00:13:43.950
from the uncomfortable moments. It's it's there

00:13:43.950 --> 00:13:46.570
for a second so do you know who he reminds me

00:13:46.570 --> 00:13:51.070
of and I'm just now coming up with a sock so

00:13:51.070 --> 00:13:55.429
I Can't remember his name after the passed away

00:13:55.429 --> 00:13:59.710
was in Hunger Games and... Oh, Philip Seymour.

00:13:59.929 --> 00:14:02.470
Philip Seymour Hoffman, is that him? Yes. He

00:14:02.470 --> 00:14:04.549
kind of reminds me of a younger him. A younger

00:14:04.549 --> 00:14:05.649
version. In that he kind of looks like him, but

00:14:05.649 --> 00:14:09.070
also like the level of... I don't know, the depth

00:14:09.070 --> 00:14:12.389
that he has. Layers. Layers. And it's commitment

00:14:12.389 --> 00:14:16.710
to the art is what I think Jesse Plemons is.

00:14:17.070 --> 00:14:20.889
And you also got Aiden Delves, who played Don.

00:14:21.690 --> 00:14:25.909
And you gotta love this character. Don. Yorgos.

00:14:26.860 --> 00:14:32.960
Cast Aiden Delvis because he wanted a neurodivergent

00:14:32.960 --> 00:14:36.659
actor who was non -professional and had never

00:14:36.659 --> 00:14:39.860
been on a movie before. And you felt that when

00:14:39.860 --> 00:14:43.200
you watched his performance. Fantastic. He blew

00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:45.580
expectations out of the water if there were any,

00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:50.340
but you felt for him. You felt the emotion. Suicide.

00:14:50.379 --> 00:14:53.100
I'm still not over it. That suicide had me tearing

00:14:53.100 --> 00:14:56.539
up, man. That was hard. That was a hard scene

00:14:56.539 --> 00:15:01.080
and and you felt her reaction to that she had

00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:05.279
genuine empathy. Oh, yeah when he says Will you

00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:07.960
take me with you? We promise that I can go with

00:15:07.960 --> 00:15:12.559
you. I don't want to be here. Oh It's an incredible

00:15:12.559 --> 00:15:16.519
I felt it performance by everybody on this sit.

00:15:16.659 --> 00:15:19.840
Let's zoom out for a second. All right This is

00:15:19.840 --> 00:15:23.440
a reimagining of a South Korean film called Save

00:15:23.440 --> 00:15:26.799
the Green Planet, which you've never seen. Maybe

00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:29.820
some of the freaks have. Just know this is how

00:15:29.820 --> 00:15:33.659
it is. It starts weird, then gets weirder, then

00:15:33.659 --> 00:15:35.860
suddenly you're questioning reality and your

00:15:35.860 --> 00:15:40.700
own moral compass. So now we've got the DNA for

00:15:40.700 --> 00:15:43.539
begonia, and it's filtered through a western

00:15:43.539 --> 00:15:48.679
lens, of course, but it's... It's really just

00:15:48.679 --> 00:15:53.100
this Dirty feel like we're not getting a clean

00:15:53.100 --> 00:15:56.139
ride and it's a psychological roller coaster

00:15:56.139 --> 00:15:59.299
and that's what the movie that it came from was

00:15:59.299 --> 00:16:02.220
as well and Legonia really does do that from

00:16:02.220 --> 00:16:05.360
beginning to end It keeps you doing this man,

00:16:05.639 --> 00:16:07.679
and it's not you never really know what's gonna

00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:10.139
happen You never know who's telling the truth

00:16:10.139 --> 00:16:12.740
what the conspiracies are and that's what it

00:16:12.740 --> 00:16:14.600
is It's like the premise alone with conspiracies

00:16:14.600 --> 00:16:18.019
delusion versus truth. Yeah Yeah, the isolation

00:16:18.019 --> 00:16:21.179
and the themes of isolation, you know, being

00:16:21.179 --> 00:16:24.340
that he's on this farm, but also with access

00:16:24.340 --> 00:16:29.539
to all this conspiracy on the internet and rabbit

00:16:29.539 --> 00:16:31.740
hole. And they kind of talk about the psychology

00:16:31.740 --> 00:16:33.960
of that, which in our day and age, we have to

00:16:33.960 --> 00:16:36.320
be really careful of that internet conspiracy

00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:41.059
and AI psychosis that they have not figured out

00:16:41.059 --> 00:16:43.440
the answer to. I mean, they're they're letting

00:16:43.440 --> 00:16:47.190
people know, you know, for example. AI will agree

00:16:47.190 --> 00:16:51.210
with you in pretty much any situation. Like,

00:16:51.450 --> 00:16:55.370
it might feel good to hear it, it might feel

00:16:55.370 --> 00:16:59.429
validating, but it can lead to a really dangerous

00:16:59.429 --> 00:17:01.250
way of thinking, which is that everything I say

00:17:01.250 --> 00:17:04.269
to AI and every question I ask, I'm being reaffirmed

00:17:04.269 --> 00:17:07.170
back to me that what I'm saying is correct. And

00:17:07.170 --> 00:17:09.769
they haven't solved the problem, guys. So just

00:17:09.769 --> 00:17:12.609
FYI, no one has figured out how to keep that

00:17:12.609 --> 00:17:15.230
from happening. We may not, we may not. You see

00:17:15.230 --> 00:17:19.410
that conversation between Michelle and, uh, just

00:17:19.410 --> 00:17:23.809
blanked. Teddy. Teddy, good. Got my brain today.

00:17:24.269 --> 00:17:26.390
Anyway, yeah, Michelle and Teddy talking about,

00:17:26.410 --> 00:17:30.410
she's like, you know, is it possible that you've

00:17:30.410 --> 00:17:32.690
just kind of gotten into this rabbit hole of

00:17:32.690 --> 00:17:34.349
conspiracy and you can't get yourself out? And

00:17:34.349 --> 00:17:36.309
he's like, no, I've researched that too. Yeah.

00:17:36.529 --> 00:17:39.130
I know all about it. I'm not making this up.

00:17:39.589 --> 00:17:43.250
I mean, there's a whole element of that that's

00:17:43.250 --> 00:17:47.039
like, but - is just caught up in that. Yeah,

00:17:47.539 --> 00:17:50.680
but then again, it's that delusion versus truth.

00:17:51.259 --> 00:17:54.119
Is Teddy really insane or is he the only one

00:17:54.119 --> 00:17:57.299
that's seen clearly? At least partially. And

00:17:57.299 --> 00:17:59.140
you don't know. Come to some conclusions. But

00:17:59.140 --> 00:18:01.420
how many times have you felt like that? You're

00:18:01.420 --> 00:18:03.579
tuning into something nobody else hears. That's

00:18:03.579 --> 00:18:06.480
the frequency we're here at at parallel frequencies.

00:18:07.019 --> 00:18:10.579
But it happens all the time. Yeah. Well, definitely

00:18:10.579 --> 00:18:13.279
when my husband loves to watch things that are

00:18:13.279 --> 00:18:15.819
like, you know, aliens build the pyramids kind

00:18:15.819 --> 00:18:19.279
of stuff. And honestly, I'm not one of those

00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:21.519
who's walking in going, oh, this is bull crap.

00:18:21.579 --> 00:18:26.099
This is such, you know, blah, blah, blah. I'm

00:18:26.099 --> 00:18:27.839
not one of those, but I'm also not one of those

00:18:27.839 --> 00:18:30.559
going in there being like, oh, absolutely. Let's

00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:32.960
dig into this. Every theory and every conspiracy

00:18:32.960 --> 00:18:36.160
and everything I hear on these shows is truth.

00:18:36.759 --> 00:18:40.980
I'm more like, yeah. make sense yeah that's yeah

00:18:40.980 --> 00:18:44.160
potentially that's true um aliens were always

00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:47.880
here they were always among us yeah i mean i'm

00:18:47.880 --> 00:18:50.460
kind of like that doesn't surprise me that wouldn't

00:18:50.460 --> 00:18:54.119
surprise me a bit i mean i would be keeping tabs

00:18:54.119 --> 00:18:56.759
on our crazy asses too if i had the ability you

00:18:56.759 --> 00:18:58.859
know like yeah i mean it's back in mythology

00:18:58.859 --> 00:19:03.180
in situations of magic and the fey and uh you

00:19:03.180 --> 00:19:09.759
know um ancient civilizations where certain Species

00:19:09.759 --> 00:19:13.579
of beings were the gods of that time period and

00:19:13.579 --> 00:19:15.700
then you kind of go into the whole what if those

00:19:15.700 --> 00:19:19.400
were Otherworldly beings that were here before

00:19:19.400 --> 00:19:22.819
us that created humanity all these ideas to me

00:19:22.819 --> 00:19:25.960
are like Yeah, that makes sense. I'm not gonna

00:19:25.960 --> 00:19:29.039
you know Sit here and be like, whoa that blew

00:19:29.039 --> 00:19:31.539
my mind. I'm gonna be like, yeah Yeah, probably.

00:19:31.779 --> 00:19:34.140
Yeah, and I think that's what would happen for

00:19:34.140 --> 00:19:37.400
the they call it the age of disclosure or whatever

00:19:37.400 --> 00:19:39.759
I think that's how we most of us would probably

00:19:39.759 --> 00:19:42.640
react like yeah okay okay like it's the worst

00:19:42.640 --> 00:19:46.460
kept secret there is that there's aliens there's

00:19:46.460 --> 00:19:49.359
something else out there there is yep there's

00:19:49.359 --> 00:19:51.779
something culturally interesting happening with

00:19:51.779 --> 00:19:55.079
begonia and you're getting this we've talked

00:19:55.079 --> 00:19:58.640
about this before how you're getting dumbed down

00:19:58.640 --> 00:20:03.039
scripts because people are doing this they're

00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:04.480
on their phones for the whole movie so they gotta

00:20:04.480 --> 00:20:08.259
be reminded what's going on look Not all audiences

00:20:08.259 --> 00:20:12.380
are craving stories to be spoon -fed to you.

00:20:12.400 --> 00:20:15.319
Yeah. A lot of us were done with the predictable

00:20:15.319 --> 00:20:19.099
arcs and safe endings. We want the tension. We

00:20:19.099 --> 00:20:21.200
want to think, I don't know where this is going,

00:20:21.279 --> 00:20:23.880
but I need to stay with it. And that's what Begonia

00:20:23.880 --> 00:20:26.940
is built on. The whole time, you want to stay

00:20:26.940 --> 00:20:29.259
with it because you don't know. And I love the

00:20:29.259 --> 00:20:31.319
movies that we don't. We don't know where they're

00:20:31.319 --> 00:20:33.799
going. You don't always have to know where you're

00:20:33.799 --> 00:20:35.799
going. Yeah, there's little things along the

00:20:35.799 --> 00:20:41.740
way that make you switch your Prediction of what's

00:20:41.740 --> 00:20:44.740
gonna happen next where you're like, oh wait

00:20:44.740 --> 00:20:48.759
a minute and then did you do like I did and just

00:20:48.759 --> 00:20:54.640
quit And then I gave up and then I was like I'm

00:20:54.640 --> 00:20:56.799
just gonna watch I'm just gonna observe this

00:20:56.799 --> 00:20:59.339
movie, but that's what I did I was doing I was

00:20:59.339 --> 00:21:01.599
doing all the things that you normally do is

00:21:01.599 --> 00:21:06.750
this Is he crazy? Is she an alien? You do that

00:21:06.750 --> 00:21:09.269
until you don't. You will stop doing that in

00:21:09.269 --> 00:21:10.750
this movie. And that's a different type of energy.

00:21:10.750 --> 00:21:12.809
I'm going to just see how this plays out. My

00:21:12.809 --> 00:21:15.630
first clue, I don't know if you had a moment

00:21:15.630 --> 00:21:17.349
somewhere along the line where you're like, wait

00:21:17.349 --> 00:21:20.430
a minute. Something more is happening here that's

00:21:20.430 --> 00:21:23.549
not typical. There wouldn't be a typical situation.

00:21:24.430 --> 00:21:27.390
For me was Michelle's reaction to being kidnapped.

00:21:27.930 --> 00:21:32.769
Now, she could just be a really, really involved

00:21:32.769 --> 00:21:37.630
human being Being a CEO being a really empowered

00:21:37.630 --> 00:21:40.009
woman. She knows who she is. She knows what she's

00:21:40.009 --> 00:21:43.029
about She has a lot of confidence. So when she's

00:21:43.029 --> 00:21:45.869
kidnapped to be like I'm gonna gentle parent

00:21:45.869 --> 00:21:49.269
my way. Yeah That to me was my first clue that

00:21:49.269 --> 00:21:52.109
like this is not This is not the way I would

00:21:52.109 --> 00:21:54.789
imagine a woman being kidnapped and to be Chained

00:21:54.789 --> 00:21:57.269
to a bed in a basement to start reacting and

00:21:57.269 --> 00:21:58.890
it's funny cuz she was doing all the corporate

00:21:58.890 --> 00:22:01.240
talk in there, too And it was almost like she

00:22:01.240 --> 00:22:04.240
was gentle parenting, but also trying to control

00:22:04.240 --> 00:22:07.859
a boardroom at the same time with the verbiage

00:22:07.859 --> 00:22:10.779
that she was using. All these big words and stuff.

00:22:10.900 --> 00:22:13.759
But yeah, go ahead. Yeah. Handling herself under

00:22:13.759 --> 00:22:17.759
stress in that way is not typical. Even if somebody

00:22:17.759 --> 00:22:22.920
were, I don't know, highly trained in meditative

00:22:22.920 --> 00:22:26.900
powers. Whatever it is. You know, able to stay

00:22:26.900 --> 00:22:31.039
in that kind of calm state during duress. She

00:22:31.039 --> 00:22:33.079
handles it in such a way that starts to make

00:22:33.079 --> 00:22:37.039
you question, well, wait a minute, is this, something

00:22:37.039 --> 00:22:41.380
more is going on here. She has some other worldly

00:22:41.380 --> 00:22:44.920
qualities about her. And she does. Turns out

00:22:44.920 --> 00:22:48.220
she does. She does. I mean, she does, but this

00:22:48.220 --> 00:22:52.180
is not a popcorn energy type of movie. It's a

00:22:52.180 --> 00:22:55.460
sit with it to the credits roll and then stare

00:22:55.460 --> 00:22:57.200
at the ceiling and think about what you just

00:22:57.200 --> 00:22:59.769
saw. Oh, for sure. I'm going to have to watch

00:22:59.769 --> 00:23:01.910
this movie again. I really do. But it is one

00:23:01.910 --> 00:23:03.250
of these ones that's going to split the audience

00:23:03.250 --> 00:23:05.609
down the middle. Half of them are going to be

00:23:05.609 --> 00:23:07.769
saying, genius, and the other half, what the

00:23:07.769 --> 00:23:09.970
hell did I just watch? Yeah. And again, we talked

00:23:09.970 --> 00:23:14.029
about the movie making experience for what movies,

00:23:14.089 --> 00:23:16.710
how movies adapt through the generations. Because

00:23:16.710 --> 00:23:18.589
we talked about Toys on Wednesday, and we were

00:23:18.589 --> 00:23:21.250
talking about how that movie would hold up better

00:23:21.250 --> 00:23:23.490
nowadays than it did when it came out, probably.

00:23:24.170 --> 00:23:26.670
But these type of movies, like Poor Things and

00:23:26.670 --> 00:23:28.210
The Favorite, these movies that he's making.

00:23:28.509 --> 00:23:33.809
This is a new generation type of movie. It's

00:23:33.809 --> 00:23:36.009
one that I think, if you're used to movies being

00:23:36.009 --> 00:23:38.269
a certain way and they're really just for entertainment

00:23:38.269 --> 00:23:40.650
and you're like, I just want it to be exciting

00:23:40.650 --> 00:23:44.349
and fun and fast moving and whatever, then you're

00:23:44.349 --> 00:23:48.750
gonna be like, what did I just watch? This made

00:23:48.750 --> 00:23:50.250
me feel icky and I don't wanna see it again.

00:23:50.930 --> 00:23:55.130
While the rest of the, those of us craving art,

00:23:55.569 --> 00:23:59.059
craving thought. craving philosophy, craving

00:23:59.059 --> 00:24:02.559
deep discussion, are gonna be like, ooh, this

00:24:02.559 --> 00:24:05.119
was juicy stuff, and I really like to sink my

00:24:05.119 --> 00:24:08.619
teeth into this kind of stuff. And can we also

00:24:08.619 --> 00:24:12.900
appreciate how both Jesse Plymouth and Emma Stone

00:24:12.900 --> 00:24:17.259
have mastered the art of uncomfortable silence?

00:24:18.059 --> 00:24:21.240
They can say more in a look or a stare than most

00:24:21.240 --> 00:24:24.940
actors do in a 10 -minute -long monologue. And

00:24:24.940 --> 00:24:27.519
that's dangerous in a film like this, real dangerous.

00:24:27.779 --> 00:24:30.420
Yeah. Because it's built off of the dialogue.

00:24:31.299 --> 00:24:33.240
And at one point, I think he even says, don't

00:24:33.240 --> 00:24:35.420
use that word, dialogue. We're just talking.

00:24:35.940 --> 00:24:38.440
I love that. But I love how he snaps back at

00:24:38.440 --> 00:24:43.579
her. And kind of, that's where my instincts kicked

00:24:43.579 --> 00:24:46.559
in, was the way he snapped back at her. And you

00:24:46.559 --> 00:24:51.660
were never like, oh, that, sure, that. Sure,

00:24:51.660 --> 00:24:54.079
he seems crazy, but that didn't sound crazy at

00:24:54.079 --> 00:24:56.900
all. What were you saying? Like yeah, it's so

00:24:56.900 --> 00:24:59.140
there's some believability He's definitely seeing

00:24:59.140 --> 00:25:03.180
some things and and not unlike things that we

00:25:03.180 --> 00:25:07.200
in our world are fighting against I mean this

00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:09.220
whole element. Like I said, there's columns of

00:25:09.220 --> 00:25:11.299
things going on here. One of the elements of

00:25:11.299 --> 00:25:15.859
this movie is this whole Corporation pharmaceutical

00:25:15.859 --> 00:25:20.519
company money grab type of vibe where he's upset

00:25:20.519 --> 00:25:26.839
because his mother I mean she's she's ill she

00:25:26.839 --> 00:25:30.180
was telling him they sold me the sickness and

00:25:30.180 --> 00:25:33.019
then they sold me the cure and she's not wrong

00:25:33.019 --> 00:25:35.380
they're not wrong that side of the story is not

00:25:35.380 --> 00:25:37.420
wrong that's real stuff that people are dealing

00:25:37.420 --> 00:25:39.099
with in our health care system in this country

00:25:39.099 --> 00:25:42.079
anyway so to have this element of like he's fed

00:25:42.079 --> 00:25:44.900
up Whether she's an alien or not and I think

00:25:44.900 --> 00:25:46.619
at one point in the beginning when he's convincing

00:25:46.619 --> 00:25:48.980
Don that this is the right thing to do Don's

00:25:48.980 --> 00:25:51.279
like what if she's not an alien? Yeah, like this

00:25:51.279 --> 00:25:53.640
will be really fucked up if she's not an alien

00:25:53.640 --> 00:25:57.799
But he's like she's the CEO of this corporation

00:25:57.799 --> 00:26:01.900
that killed our family So even then even if it

00:26:01.900 --> 00:26:03.940
turns out she's not an alien. I think we're doing

00:26:03.940 --> 00:26:07.440
the right thing exactly So yeah, and and he's

00:26:07.440 --> 00:26:10.599
just looking at it as an eye for an eye at that

00:26:10.599 --> 00:26:13.039
point Yeah, he doesn't care what the other eye

00:26:13.039 --> 00:26:17.000
comes from, human or alien. It's whoever did

00:26:17.000 --> 00:26:19.940
this to his mother and to the people. And what's

00:26:19.940 --> 00:26:23.279
your final thoughts on Vagonia? Well, I want

00:26:23.279 --> 00:26:25.279
to talk about the bees. Talk about the bees.

00:26:25.279 --> 00:26:26.779
I want to talk about the bees for a second. And

00:26:26.779 --> 00:26:28.660
let me interject before you even do, because

00:26:28.660 --> 00:26:32.019
if you look at this film throughout it, the cinematography,

00:26:32.220 --> 00:26:36.119
there are hexagons, which are honeycombs, basically.

00:26:36.339 --> 00:26:39.079
There are hexagons throughout the movie. Is it

00:26:39.079 --> 00:26:42.240
not the theme, the central core theme that connects

00:26:42.240 --> 00:26:44.599
everything together? And I just have to say,

00:26:44.720 --> 00:26:48.619
before I watch this movie, a couple of, maybe

00:26:48.619 --> 00:26:52.299
a week ago, my dad comes in and he goes, you

00:26:52.299 --> 00:26:55.779
know what I noticed? There's no bees. No bees.

00:26:56.079 --> 00:26:58.700
He's like, all these flowers, all these trees

00:26:58.700 --> 00:27:00.200
outside of our house that have been blooming.

00:27:00.569 --> 00:27:03.069
That we see bloom around daybreak every year

00:27:03.069 --> 00:27:05.890
He's like usually they're full of bees and we've

00:27:05.890 --> 00:27:09.250
had a very unusual dry warm winter it's been

00:27:09.250 --> 00:27:13.190
the weirdest winter I've ever seen in Utah and

00:27:13.190 --> 00:27:17.329
He's like there's no bees. I'm not hearing buzzing.

00:27:17.509 --> 00:27:21.309
I'm not hearing and then I watch this movie So

00:27:21.309 --> 00:27:23.390
you can imagine how I'm freaking out a little

00:27:23.390 --> 00:27:28.319
bit Oh, this sounds really, really, really, really

00:27:28.319 --> 00:27:29.980
something we have to pay attention to. That's

00:27:29.980 --> 00:27:32.299
what your Facebook post was a couple days ago.

00:27:32.519 --> 00:27:33.579
You said, where are the bees? Now it makes sense.

00:27:33.599 --> 00:27:35.440
On the Pagans and Daybreak group, which I helped

00:27:35.440 --> 00:27:38.960
run on Facebook. If anyone remembers Facebook.

00:27:39.059 --> 00:27:40.640
Do you guys remember Facebook? It's there still.

00:27:40.920 --> 00:27:42.920
It's there still. Some of us still use it. But

00:27:42.920 --> 00:27:45.839
anyway, yeah, I was like, this is an interesting

00:27:45.839 --> 00:27:48.240
concept to think about. Because he thought, as

00:27:48.240 --> 00:27:50.900
a beekeeper, that was his, you know, on the farm.

00:27:51.580 --> 00:27:53.960
He's noticing some really big problems with the

00:27:53.960 --> 00:27:56.720
bees disappearing and dying off and he blames

00:27:56.720 --> 00:27:58.819
the aliens for it turns out They're the ones

00:27:58.819 --> 00:28:02.319
trying to save Save the earth from it because

00:28:02.319 --> 00:28:05.099
it's the humans and their influence on the world.

00:28:05.480 --> 00:28:08.460
I mean we know how much influence Humans have

00:28:08.460 --> 00:28:12.299
had more influence on geology than any other

00:28:12.299 --> 00:28:18.700
era of history in any other age so Here's what

00:28:18.700 --> 00:28:22.170
I have to say about this animism will save the

00:28:22.170 --> 00:28:26.690
world okay for thousands of years we have looked

00:28:26.690 --> 00:28:30.470
at the earth the animals and the resources on

00:28:30.470 --> 00:28:36.509
this planet as our as for us they're here for

00:28:36.509 --> 00:28:43.309
us okay we are the we colonize we commercialize

00:28:43.309 --> 00:28:47.890
we capitalize on the resources of this earth

00:28:47.890 --> 00:28:50.650
and the bees belong to us and the trees belong

00:28:50.650 --> 00:28:55.529
to us if we saw all of that and even inanimate

00:28:55.529 --> 00:29:00.569
objects like the minerals in the earth as as

00:29:00.569 --> 00:29:06.049
beings in coexistence with us we would not be

00:29:06.049 --> 00:29:08.910
ruining our planet and thus making it so we can't

00:29:08.910 --> 00:29:11.130
live here anymore and I said this when we talked

00:29:11.130 --> 00:29:13.980
about pluribus Because we talked about that hive

00:29:13.980 --> 00:29:17.119
mind and how you know that influenced the earth

00:29:17.119 --> 00:29:19.960
and I thought well Isn't it kind of an ego problem

00:29:19.960 --> 00:29:22.380
that we think we deserve to have individualism

00:29:22.380 --> 00:29:26.099
when it's ruining the planet? When the ending

00:29:26.099 --> 00:29:30.319
comes in this movie Mmm, okay. This is like the

00:29:30.319 --> 00:29:33.720
pivotal. This is it you guys The ending when

00:29:33.720 --> 00:29:37.420
she decides as Empress that this experiment of

00:29:37.420 --> 00:29:40.980
humans has gone wrong It's done. It didn't work.

00:29:40.980 --> 00:29:44.769
We tried We did our best. It's over. She pops

00:29:44.769 --> 00:29:48.589
the bubble. And then the montage starts of seeing

00:29:48.589 --> 00:29:51.650
every human being on the planet drop dead. Now,

00:29:52.029 --> 00:29:54.890
I think maybe if I was younger, I would have

00:29:54.890 --> 00:29:57.509
looked at that montage and been like, oh, how

00:29:57.509 --> 00:30:01.890
awful. How sad. Every human being, even the children,

00:30:01.990 --> 00:30:04.430
everyone is gone. Oh, that's just devastating.

00:30:05.150 --> 00:30:08.950
Now I'm like, service is right. Service is right,

00:30:09.049 --> 00:30:10.630
man. We couldn't take care of our planet. We

00:30:10.630 --> 00:30:13.299
couldn't do a better job. This is what happens.

00:30:14.259 --> 00:30:17.160
And if it makes sure the bees survive, then I

00:30:17.160 --> 00:30:18.960
guess we got to go. I'm right there with you.

00:30:18.980 --> 00:30:22.240
I believe. I didn't have the sadness. And I want

00:30:22.240 --> 00:30:23.960
to know about what the freaks thought. Yeah.

00:30:23.960 --> 00:30:25.680
I want to know. Like, did you watch that montage

00:30:25.680 --> 00:30:29.839
and go, oh no? Or were you like, yep? And the

00:30:29.839 --> 00:30:31.279
freaks out there are like, you got to remember,

00:30:31.319 --> 00:30:33.279
like, this is what we're doing here. This is

00:30:33.279 --> 00:30:36.400
what we do. We like to decode the movies. We

00:30:36.400 --> 00:30:39.779
like to feel them. We like to argue about them

00:30:39.779 --> 00:30:42.980
at 2 AM like they matter. Because they do. When

00:30:42.980 --> 00:30:45.200
I see your text messages in the middle of the

00:30:45.200 --> 00:30:48.259
night and I'm like, hey, what about this? That's

00:30:48.259 --> 00:30:49.940
what we do. That's what it's for. Here's what's

00:30:49.940 --> 00:30:52.599
next. Here's what's next. Yeah. Yeah. I got it.

00:30:52.900 --> 00:30:54.880
Before we get out of here, I'm going to go ahead

00:30:54.880 --> 00:30:56.380
and tease another movie that I just watched.

00:30:56.859 --> 00:31:01.140
I saw Undertone. Oh. And we're going to put that

00:31:01.140 --> 00:31:05.220
on the list. Yeah. And yeah. Be on the lookout

00:31:05.220 --> 00:31:07.759
for that one. Yeah. That one right there is coming

00:31:07.759 --> 00:31:10.380
up. This is Friday though. We're going into the

00:31:10.380 --> 00:31:12.299
weekend. What do you got going on this weekend?

00:31:13.900 --> 00:31:15.799
I don't even know. Nothing? That's about what

00:31:15.799 --> 00:31:17.079
mine looks like. There's nothing so far. I have

00:31:17.079 --> 00:31:18.579
to look at my calendar. That's why I live by

00:31:18.579 --> 00:31:21.420
my calendar. Because I'm like... I get that.

00:31:21.599 --> 00:31:23.539
Yeah, I get that. Well, we hope all the freaks

00:31:23.539 --> 00:31:26.099
out there have a happy weekend. There's no holidays

00:31:26.099 --> 00:31:27.559
or anything this weekend, don't you think? No.

00:31:27.799 --> 00:31:29.460
You know what? Let's just chill this weekend.

00:31:29.920 --> 00:31:31.960
Whatever you're doing, maybe just be like...

00:31:31.960 --> 00:31:34.440
Put a movie on. Let's put some movies on. The

00:31:34.440 --> 00:31:37.759
weather. Peacock. Magonia. Peacock. Go watch

00:31:37.759 --> 00:31:39.599
this. You're good. And take care of your planet,

00:31:39.839 --> 00:31:42.359
okay guys? Yeah. If I could say anything to the

00:31:42.359 --> 00:31:44.119
whole planet at once, if I could say anything,

00:31:44.240 --> 00:31:46.440
it'd be like, is money really the most important

00:31:46.440 --> 00:31:50.799
thing when our Earth is dying? Can we use our

00:31:50.799 --> 00:31:54.000
powers of innovation to solve some of these problems

00:31:54.000 --> 00:31:56.579
rather than how fast we can make AI do work for

00:31:56.579 --> 00:32:01.539
us? Right. And that's my soapbox. Yeah, I like

00:32:01.539 --> 00:32:03.619
it. You got on the soapbox hard here at the end.

00:32:04.180 --> 00:32:06.799
Coco was fired up going into the weekend. Yeah,

00:32:06.859 --> 00:32:08.759
I was cheering for the bees in that movie. Let's

00:32:08.759 --> 00:32:10.559

00:32:10.559 --> 00:32:12.200

00:32:12.720 --> 00:32:14.359

00:32:18.519 --> 00:32:20.859

00:32:20.859 --> 00:32:23.299
episode of parallel frequencies I am just blame.

00:32:23.460 --> 00:32:26.960
