00:00:00.300 --> 00:00:03.279
What would you do if you were overworked and

00:00:03.279 --> 00:00:06.219
your arrogant boss and you had a plane crash

00:00:06.219 --> 00:00:09.519
on an island? Would you be able to survive or

00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:12.300
what would the power dynamic look like? Send

00:00:12.300 --> 00:00:15.300
Help is our movie today for Movie Monday. It

00:00:15.300 --> 00:00:17.640
is Parallel Frequencies. I am Just Blaine. She

00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:21.379
is Coco. You are the freaks. Coco, what's up?

00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:24.539
What's going on over there? I dare say if you

00:00:24.539 --> 00:00:27.460
and I were in a plane crash on a desert island,

00:00:27.640 --> 00:00:32.189
we gonna die. Probably. But I'm not a nepo baby

00:00:32.189 --> 00:00:37.030
boss. Yeah, you might have some skills. I got

00:00:37.030 --> 00:00:41.630
a couple skills. And I don't act like Bradley

00:00:41.630 --> 00:00:46.990
did in this. So, you know. Yeah, we're going

00:00:46.990 --> 00:00:49.789
to get into that. We might survive. We'll leave

00:00:49.789 --> 00:00:52.130
that up to the freaks. We'll ask them. Freaks,

00:00:52.130 --> 00:00:54.869
do you think if me and Coco crashed on an island,

00:00:54.990 --> 00:00:57.740
would we survive? Put it out there. How long?

00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:00.700
Over or under? How long? How many days? How long

00:01:00.700 --> 00:01:02.780
do you think we're going to make it? I got like

00:01:02.780 --> 00:01:06.459
three days. Exactly, right? I don't know, though,

00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:09.459
because I've been surviving pretty hard here

00:01:09.459 --> 00:01:11.780
lately. I just had a kindergarten graduation.

00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:16.879
That's why. Yeah. We're surviving May as parents.

00:01:17.099 --> 00:01:21.219
And any freaks out there who are parents wrapping

00:01:21.219 --> 00:01:24.640
up the school year, tell us how you're surviving

00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:26.819
May. How was it going? How was the graduation?

00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:31.959
It was great. It was cute, I guess. That's what

00:01:31.959 --> 00:01:35.379
you say. You know what? I got a text from my

00:01:35.379 --> 00:01:37.939
own dad and he said, congratulations, only 12

00:01:37.939 --> 00:01:40.140
more to go. And I was like, oh my gosh. Yeah.

00:01:40.620 --> 00:01:43.319
I mean, you don't have to do that many graduations

00:01:43.319 --> 00:01:46.420
because typically they don't do like first grade

00:01:46.420 --> 00:01:48.280
graduation and second grade graduation and all

00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:50.859
that, right? But I used to be a kindergarten

00:01:50.859 --> 00:01:53.890
teacher. So I used to... prep my kindergarteners

00:01:53.890 --> 00:01:55.730
for their kindergarten graduation. We did the

00:01:55.730 --> 00:01:58.269
caps and gowns. Oh, yeah. They used to rent a

00:01:58.269 --> 00:02:02.010
stage and an auditorium for it at my school.

00:02:02.069 --> 00:02:05.510
They went all out. And I can tell you, kindergarten

00:02:05.510 --> 00:02:08.530
teachers, we work really hard at getting those

00:02:08.530 --> 00:02:13.310
kids ready. And, you know, I was really good

00:02:13.310 --> 00:02:16.289
at, like, I would have... programs where the

00:02:16.289 --> 00:02:19.810
kids were singing in a round there was like parts

00:02:19.810 --> 00:02:23.370
they had props i mean i really got went all in

00:02:23.370 --> 00:02:25.669
on it like really worked hard on it and then

00:02:25.669 --> 00:02:28.770
i realized after a couple years parents don't

00:02:28.770 --> 00:02:31.009
really care if they did a great job in their

00:02:31.009 --> 00:02:33.610
program or not they're just gonna be so thrilled

00:02:33.610 --> 00:02:37.349
and taking pictures that was it yeah bunch of

00:02:37.349 --> 00:02:39.610
bunch of that was happening we didn't care we

00:02:39.610 --> 00:02:41.689
were in there smiling clicking you know it was

00:02:41.689 --> 00:02:45.229
that's how it was all down And it would still

00:02:45.229 --> 00:02:47.650
be a great program. Everyone loves it. I think

00:02:47.650 --> 00:02:49.430
some of them did. I think I saw Amanda's kid

00:02:49.430 --> 00:02:51.009
in there. I think he was over there falling over,

00:02:51.150 --> 00:02:53.810
and mine was too, and their little buddy. Kids

00:02:53.810 --> 00:02:55.810
crying. Sometimes they just bust up crying in

00:02:55.810 --> 00:02:57.569
the middle of it, and you're like, meh, it is

00:02:57.569 --> 00:02:58.990
what it is. You never know. You never know, but

00:02:58.990 --> 00:03:00.509
it's wild. What have you been watching? You watch

00:03:00.509 --> 00:03:02.389
anything lately? Over the weekend, maybe? Yeah.

00:03:02.569 --> 00:03:06.449
Our family just finished on Netflix the second

00:03:06.449 --> 00:03:09.789
season of Secret Millionaire. We loved the first

00:03:09.789 --> 00:03:11.750
season, so we had to watch this. It's one of

00:03:11.750 --> 00:03:14.069
those reality shows where they're competing.

00:03:15.090 --> 00:03:17.949
And I love it because there's a lot of intrigue

00:03:17.949 --> 00:03:19.990
and they make it harder and harder and harder

00:03:19.990 --> 00:03:22.349
for the contestants. So they have all these people

00:03:22.349 --> 00:03:27.509
move into a mansion together. And in their rooms,

00:03:27.550 --> 00:03:30.409
there's going to be a box. And only one of them,

00:03:30.430 --> 00:03:32.449
when they open the box, it will have a million

00:03:32.449 --> 00:03:37.099
dollars in it. So he's a millionaire. Everybody

00:03:37.099 --> 00:03:39.740
else in the house is slowly trying to figure

00:03:39.740 --> 00:03:42.520
out who the millionaire is and they get to vote

00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:46.379
off somebody at the end of every episode. So

00:03:46.379 --> 00:03:48.719
if they vote the person off, a new millionaire

00:03:48.719 --> 00:03:52.960
is chosen the next day. But if they don't catch

00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:55.060
that millionaire and the millionaire is going

00:03:55.060 --> 00:03:59.800
to have all these like secret agendas that they

00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:02.080
give them. So they have to like do their agenda

00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:05.270
so that they can. get a special thing like they

00:04:05.270 --> 00:04:08.669
get to vote an extra person off or you know they

00:04:08.669 --> 00:04:11.270
get these little perks but if they don't do their

00:04:11.270 --> 00:04:14.069
agenda then they get three votes counted against

00:04:14.069 --> 00:04:18.589
them in the voting so they have to do their agenda

00:04:18.589 --> 00:04:21.029
like they have to but the agenda is also going

00:04:21.029 --> 00:04:24.730
to kind of expose them to everybody now this

00:04:24.730 --> 00:04:29.189
this is eerily similar to a show called the mole

00:04:29.949 --> 00:04:32.290
From way back. And then they brought it back

00:04:32.290 --> 00:04:34.069
on Netflix. It's on Netflix. There's a newer

00:04:34.069 --> 00:04:37.370
season from a couple years back. But I've always

00:04:37.370 --> 00:04:40.430
loved this premise. And the mole is the same

00:04:40.430 --> 00:04:42.569
type of thing, except for it's just one person's

00:04:42.569 --> 00:04:44.870
the mole. They got to sabotage the game. They're

00:04:44.870 --> 00:04:48.149
trying to win money. If the mole does his job,

00:04:48.230 --> 00:04:50.470
they get certain. Yeah, it's the same kind of

00:04:50.470 --> 00:04:53.250
concept. But I love these shows that do this,

00:04:53.310 --> 00:04:56.069
where it's making people come out of their comfort

00:04:56.069 --> 00:04:58.980
zones to play. Oh, for sure. I love how some

00:04:58.980 --> 00:05:00.259
of them are like, they start off, they're like,

00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:02.740
oh, I'm not going to lie, cheat, and steal. And

00:05:02.740 --> 00:05:04.240
that's what they do the entire game. That's exactly

00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:07.959
what they need to do. You can't blame them. They're

00:05:07.959 --> 00:05:10.740
in it for the long haul. But then you have these

00:05:10.740 --> 00:05:13.819
ones. I love in Secret Millionaire, you have

00:05:13.819 --> 00:05:16.060
these one contestants once in a while that will

00:05:16.060 --> 00:05:18.819
say something like, I think I'm getting away

00:05:18.819 --> 00:05:21.339
with it. I don't think it wants to stop me. And

00:05:21.339 --> 00:05:24.120
then you hear all these other confessionals and

00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:27.120
they're like, I totally think it's her. Yeah.

00:05:27.540 --> 00:05:30.459
They're like, she's so obvious and we are getting

00:05:30.459 --> 00:05:32.839
her, you know, and it's just hilarious to me.

00:05:32.920 --> 00:05:34.959
Let me tell you what I've been watching. I caught

00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:38.040
one and it's not it's not a surprise. It might

00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:40.439
be right now because it's top of mind for lots.

00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:46.480
Widows Bay on Apple TV plus. Holy shit. That's

00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:49.240
all I can say. Matthew Rhys. I love Matthew Rhys.

00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:51.360
He was on the Americans. I love that TV show.

00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:54.420
He did a great job on that. And I thought, you

00:05:54.420 --> 00:05:57.720
know, I was like, here's the. Come out party

00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:00.160
for Matthew Reese. Here he is. Welcome. Welcome

00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:06.019
to the world of acting. And this show, you got

00:06:06.019 --> 00:06:08.199
to check it out. They're four episodes deep.

00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:11.139
In episode four, I did one of those like right

00:06:11.139 --> 00:06:15.139
off the couch. Like, oh, my God. What? I love

00:06:15.139 --> 00:06:18.180
that. It's up there. I love it. We'll talk. I

00:06:18.180 --> 00:06:20.939
think we got to put that on our docket soon.

00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:23.740
And it's a weekly. Every Wednesday. I think they

00:06:23.740 --> 00:06:26.439
got a couple more episodes. You can catch up.

00:06:26.939 --> 00:06:29.759
They're only 40 minutes long, but you got to

00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:31.819
go check out that one. I get to start recording

00:06:31.819 --> 00:06:33.839
myself watching something for the first time

00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:36.860
because I got super into watching this girl on,

00:06:36.980 --> 00:06:38.980
she's, you know, probably like TikTok, Instagram.

00:06:39.100 --> 00:06:42.000
She's probably really popular, but she watches

00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:44.459
Star Wars for the first time. And so the whole

00:06:44.459 --> 00:06:48.439
clip is just her watching Star Wars. Like, she's

00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:50.160
like, you guys, I've never seen Star Wars before.

00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:52.279
I'm going to watch it. And there is something

00:06:52.279 --> 00:06:54.639
about watching someone watch something like that

00:06:54.639 --> 00:06:58.560
for the first time. that I was hooked. I wanted

00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:01.000
to see her reaction. When, you know, it comes

00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:04.160
to finding out Darth Vader is Luke's father,

00:07:04.300 --> 00:07:08.620
she's like, what? I'm like, this is so satisfying.

00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:13.519
It's such a weird way. Yeah. I love it. I love

00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:16.779
it. But let's get to Movie Monday and send help.

00:07:16.860 --> 00:07:21.339
A movie that was quietly added to Hulu, kind

00:07:21.339 --> 00:07:24.319
of dropped out of nowhere. started making a name,

00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:25.959
put it on the banner up there, and that's when

00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:27.459
I finally said, you know what, I better click

00:07:27.459 --> 00:07:32.120
on this and watch it. And I was shocked at what

00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:35.139
I saw. It's not your typical, you know, there's

00:07:35.139 --> 00:07:38.680
a lot of twists and turns in this Send Help flick

00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:44.560
with a star cast, Sam Raimi directing. And I

00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:47.759
love Sam Raimi from way back, but you got Rachel

00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:50.360
McAdams crushing it, by the way, and Dylan O

00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:54.120
'Brien. crushing it in his own way we we hate

00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:57.779
him right we hate this guy Bradley Preston in

00:07:57.779 --> 00:08:02.100
the movie and he comes across and you think he's

00:08:02.100 --> 00:08:04.439
got some redeeming qualities and he just doubles

00:08:04.439 --> 00:08:07.600
down and it makes it even worse so you know he

00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:10.259
gets what's coming to him but what you think

00:08:10.259 --> 00:08:11.860
about this you've been this has been on your

00:08:11.860 --> 00:08:14.800
radar for a while too I think yeah I remember

00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:16.480
when I first came out and seeing the trailer

00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:18.240
and stuff and I said this is going to be great

00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:21.449
and I think yeah like i you know like a lot of

00:08:21.449 --> 00:08:23.370
other things you just kind of forget about it

00:08:23.370 --> 00:08:25.930
or you know move on with life so when it did

00:08:25.930 --> 00:08:28.370
drop on hulu i was so excited i was like oh my

00:08:28.370 --> 00:08:32.669
gosh we're finally gonna see it so so such a

00:08:32.669 --> 00:08:35.830
good premise of that blend of horror and comedy

00:08:35.830 --> 00:08:38.090
i mean i think they did a fantastic job you know

00:08:38.649 --> 00:08:41.570
There was once a time when horror was horror

00:08:41.570 --> 00:08:44.049
and comedy was comedy. And now we live in this

00:08:44.049 --> 00:08:47.169
beautiful age where you get to watch a horror

00:08:47.169 --> 00:08:49.929
movie and laugh through it, too. And I love that.

00:08:50.029 --> 00:08:53.669
I'm here for it. Genre blending is my favorite

00:08:53.669 --> 00:08:56.350
types of movies. Like, blend them all together.

00:08:56.909 --> 00:08:59.289
I want to laugh in a horror movie. I want to

00:08:59.289 --> 00:09:01.529
have some moments where I'm like, this is hilarious.

00:09:01.730 --> 00:09:04.889
I'm having the best time. Yeah. Yeah. And this

00:09:04.889 --> 00:09:09.289
is one. This definitely is one. Simple premise,

00:09:09.470 --> 00:09:12.190
really, if you look at it, because this is the

00:09:12.190 --> 00:09:15.289
typical classic, who are you when the lights

00:09:15.289 --> 00:09:18.210
go out? You know, who are you when you don't

00:09:18.210 --> 00:09:20.889
have a LinkedIn profile to look at? And they

00:09:20.889 --> 00:09:24.929
joke about it. They make fun of her on the airplane.

00:09:25.049 --> 00:09:26.490
Remember that? And they're like, they find her

00:09:26.490 --> 00:09:28.590
Survivor audition tape and they're making fun

00:09:28.590 --> 00:09:32.330
of her. I wish. Let me tell you, I got a Survivor

00:09:32.330 --> 00:09:34.889
audition tape out there somewhere. Do you really?

00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:37.820
I do. I applied. I went down, and this was way

00:09:37.820 --> 00:09:40.720
back. I faked. Oh, my God. I can't believe I'm

00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:42.559
going to tell you this. This video is out there.

00:09:42.620 --> 00:09:44.620
I hope it comes to life. We need to dig this

00:09:44.620 --> 00:09:48.279
up and show this video. That would be great.

00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:51.240
I took a stuffed animal and a thing of ketchup,

00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:53.940
and I took my shirt off, and I was out there.

00:09:53.960 --> 00:09:56.139
It was out in the snow. This was in Memphis.

00:09:56.379 --> 00:09:58.580
It was cold. It was snowing. I had my shirt off.

00:09:58.620 --> 00:10:03.559
I had some of the ketchup on me, like blood,

00:10:03.659 --> 00:10:06.610
and I was over there eating. Like I was eating

00:10:06.610 --> 00:10:09.389
raw meat out of just living off the land, you

00:10:09.389 --> 00:10:11.750
know, and I told him, I said, you know, I'm I'm

00:10:11.750 --> 00:10:14.389
ready to whatever. It's out there. I did it.

00:10:15.029 --> 00:10:17.049
They could they could easily make fun of me,

00:10:17.110 --> 00:10:20.389
but they did it to her. And then you find out

00:10:20.389 --> 00:10:23.570
you're like, oh, no, they shouldn't have done

00:10:23.570 --> 00:10:27.389
that because they don't need her. You know, let's

00:10:27.389 --> 00:10:29.570
talk about that moment and every moment leading

00:10:29.570 --> 00:10:31.809
up to that in the movie first, because I would

00:10:31.809 --> 00:10:35.700
like to know. especially for the freaks who have

00:10:35.700 --> 00:10:38.460
watched this movie, was there any part of you

00:10:38.460 --> 00:10:42.320
that related to her? Like, were you more related

00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:45.559
to her? Are we more, more feeling like the bro,

00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:49.779
the bro energy was what you related to or resonated

00:10:49.779 --> 00:10:53.899
with? Because I was definitely more like her.

00:10:54.019 --> 00:10:57.970
I was. probably you know growing up in elementary

00:10:57.970 --> 00:11:00.250
school middle school like a little bit nerdy

00:11:00.250 --> 00:11:03.269
wore those oversized t -shirts because i didn't

00:11:03.269 --> 00:11:06.529
know how to dress yet didn't know how to do anything

00:11:06.529 --> 00:11:10.230
i you know it was just kind of like how come

00:11:10.230 --> 00:11:14.129
nobody likes me and that kind of desperation

00:11:14.129 --> 00:11:16.649
for like wanting to be a part of the team wanting

00:11:16.649 --> 00:11:19.710
to be like oh you guys are going to karaoke yeah

00:11:19.710 --> 00:11:21.669
i could totally kill it on this song you guys

00:11:21.669 --> 00:11:24.029
what time are we meeting and they're just like

00:11:24.940 --> 00:11:29.620
No, we can't have this. Join us. We don't. But

00:11:29.620 --> 00:11:33.179
this made me think of that phrase. And once I

00:11:33.179 --> 00:11:36.039
heard this phrase, it changed my life was you

00:11:36.039 --> 00:11:40.679
don't owe the world pretty. And that is so important

00:11:40.679 --> 00:11:42.820
because look at Rachel McAdams in this role.

00:11:44.279 --> 00:11:48.139
Not attractive in the first. Which is wild. Yeah.

00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:51.759
And she's gorgeous. We all know Rachel McAdams

00:11:51.759 --> 00:11:54.679
is gorgeous. We know that. But what if we are

00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:58.759
all that? We are all the unattractive and the

00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:01.320
attractive. What if we can all be either or both

00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:04.080
or anything, right? Like the episode of Seinfeld

00:12:04.080 --> 00:12:06.639
where the girl was one way in the light and another

00:12:06.639 --> 00:12:08.759
way in the... Remember that one? I remember that,

00:12:08.860 --> 00:12:11.759
yeah. Yeah, but no, you're right. And I think

00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:16.440
I related more to her as well. I don't... You've

00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:17.580
known me for a while. I don't really have that

00:12:17.580 --> 00:12:19.639
bro energy where I'm going to make you fun of...

00:12:20.300 --> 00:12:22.360
I'm definitely not making fun of somebody's damn

00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:24.240
survivor tape when I've got my own out there

00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:28.600
floating around. Yeah, I don't do that. So I

00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:32.320
see myself more like where she was as well. And

00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:35.639
I think it's funny. You point out that she's

00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:38.700
not attractive in the beginning, but she's highly

00:12:38.700 --> 00:12:41.659
attractive once she gets on that island. I love

00:12:41.659 --> 00:12:48.029
that part. Yeah. I love that. How many people

00:12:48.029 --> 00:12:49.429
are going to be attractive when they've been

00:12:49.429 --> 00:12:52.230
stranded on a desert island? They're soaking

00:12:52.230 --> 00:12:55.049
wet. They're starving. They don't got moisturizer.

00:12:55.409 --> 00:12:58.929
They don't got their makeup. They don't got like

00:12:58.929 --> 00:13:02.370
all the things that make us, you know, presentable

00:13:02.370 --> 00:13:06.110
enough to leave our house every day. Yeah. She's

00:13:06.110 --> 00:13:10.190
like in her natural raw element and she actually

00:13:10.190 --> 00:13:14.350
finds her beauty there in that. I mean, you could

00:13:14.350 --> 00:13:16.570
be real. If the cell towers go down for more

00:13:16.570 --> 00:13:18.370
than six hours, half the people out there are

00:13:18.370 --> 00:13:20.190
trading their prized possessions for a single

00:13:20.190 --> 00:13:27.830
bar of service. So, yes. I think Rachel McAdams,

00:13:27.889 --> 00:13:29.529
and her character, I keep calling her Rachel

00:13:29.529 --> 00:13:32.769
McAdams because that's it, but Linda Little.

00:13:33.169 --> 00:13:36.389
And we find that out, too, and that plays in.

00:13:36.490 --> 00:13:39.350
Her shoes, I love that thing, too, that whole

00:13:39.350 --> 00:13:43.269
part of it, too. Yeah, this is... Yeah, I was

00:13:43.269 --> 00:13:48.330
made fun of for my shoes. Yeah, yeah. I have

00:13:48.330 --> 00:13:50.429
been there. I've been there. This whole movie

00:13:50.429 --> 00:13:55.389
is a mirror for how deeply alienated we've all

00:13:55.389 --> 00:13:57.809
become from basic survival instincts and from

00:13:57.809 --> 00:14:00.669
each other. And you do that by making fun of

00:14:00.669 --> 00:14:03.769
the shoes and making fun of a survivor audition

00:14:03.769 --> 00:14:05.750
tape. How else do you want to alienate somebody?

00:14:06.629 --> 00:14:08.370
They should have been in there saying, oh, this

00:14:08.370 --> 00:14:12.399
is awesome. They should have said... Yeah. They

00:14:12.399 --> 00:14:14.340
should have said, oh, this survivor thing is

00:14:14.340 --> 00:14:17.399
awesome. Did they call you? It's that easy. It's

00:14:17.399 --> 00:14:20.940
that easy. Yeah. Okay. So if it's that easy,

00:14:21.059 --> 00:14:25.879
what is that bro energy? What is it? And it's

00:14:25.879 --> 00:14:28.899
also mean girl energy. I mean, let me be fair.

00:14:29.059 --> 00:14:32.039
Across the board, they're just types, right?

00:14:32.620 --> 00:14:35.000
But in this movie particularly, we see it as

00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:39.000
kind of this bro energy. I don't know how else

00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:42.750
to say it. These are... yeah summer's eve type

00:14:42.750 --> 00:14:48.909
guys like they're just like uh we we get each

00:14:48.909 --> 00:14:51.629
other we're totally gonna promote each other

00:14:51.629 --> 00:14:54.730
we are totally going to you know have this bro

00:14:54.730 --> 00:14:58.330
thing going on and this girl has to use dry shampoo

00:14:58.330 --> 00:15:01.809
you know she's not one of us she's not getting

00:15:01.809 --> 00:15:04.889
the promotion she's not but she's willing to

00:15:04.889 --> 00:15:08.210
do the work for us and That's another point that

00:15:08.210 --> 00:15:10.370
I think that is really important. If you're too

00:15:10.370 --> 00:15:13.049
good at your job, you won't get a promotion is

00:15:13.049 --> 00:15:14.990
kind of the issue that we're seeing here, right?

00:15:15.610 --> 00:15:17.789
Never. And that goes for anybody. That's male

00:15:17.789 --> 00:15:21.129
or female in that spot because there's a lot

00:15:21.129 --> 00:15:22.850
of people I know have been there, myself included,

00:15:23.110 --> 00:15:25.850
to where you get too valuable in that role and

00:15:25.850 --> 00:15:27.889
they can't replace you. It's going to cost them

00:15:27.889 --> 00:15:29.529
more to replace you in that role than promote

00:15:29.529 --> 00:15:31.690
you and bring somebody else into that that can

00:15:31.690 --> 00:15:34.610
fill that spot. And that's crazy. The bro energy,

00:15:34.769 --> 00:15:37.440
a lot of that is a hive mind too. It is. But

00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:39.860
in this movie, Preston still carries that bro

00:15:39.860 --> 00:15:42.139
energy even when he crashes on that island and

00:15:42.139 --> 00:15:45.779
he's got nobody else. Yeah. Except for Survivor

00:15:45.779 --> 00:15:48.460
Audition Tape, who was a real survival. She had

00:15:48.460 --> 00:15:54.299
educated herself for this. She wants to stay.

00:15:54.440 --> 00:15:57.360
That tells you something. Yeah. And she goes

00:15:57.360 --> 00:16:00.639
through some crazy extremes to make that happen.

00:16:01.460 --> 00:16:04.519
Yes. And then you kind of get into a debate as

00:16:04.519 --> 00:16:06.620
we go along of like, who's the villain here?

00:16:07.059 --> 00:16:11.059
Exactly. Because at first, no question, Bradley

00:16:11.059 --> 00:16:13.399
Preston's the villain. He's horrible to her.

00:16:13.440 --> 00:16:16.679
He's so condescending. He's so awful, even as

00:16:16.679 --> 00:16:19.200
he depends on her for his survival. And she's

00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:21.519
being very generous. From the very beginning,

00:16:21.659 --> 00:16:24.289
she could be awful to him. And she's like. I

00:16:24.289 --> 00:16:26.129
need to keep you hydrated. I need to keep you

00:16:26.129 --> 00:16:29.470
fed. I'm going to take care of you. It's going

00:16:29.470 --> 00:16:30.889
to be okay. We're going to get through this.

00:16:30.990 --> 00:16:35.110
And as she's taking care of him, he's still acting

00:16:35.110 --> 00:16:39.210
like I'm your boss. I'm above you. So it takes

00:16:39.210 --> 00:16:43.309
a couple of rounds of putting him in his place,

00:16:43.370 --> 00:16:45.629
which none of us, I don't think the audience

00:16:45.629 --> 00:16:49.710
is unhappy to see at all. No, not at all. We

00:16:49.710 --> 00:16:55.830
love seeing his moment of, how low can you go

00:16:55.830 --> 00:17:00.389
yeah eating the bread and there's some crazy

00:17:00.389 --> 00:17:03.230
see i love that scene where she's got him she

00:17:03.230 --> 00:17:06.670
strips him naked waist down got him up said she's

00:17:06.670 --> 00:17:11.549
gonna castrate him that i don't know why that

00:17:11.549 --> 00:17:13.990
didn't scare him enough right there i mean you

00:17:13.990 --> 00:17:16.809
crash on an island you look across and at some

00:17:16.809 --> 00:17:20.930
point you gotta think like okay she's better

00:17:20.930 --> 00:17:23.569
at this than me But there you go. He was a nepo

00:17:23.569 --> 00:17:25.309
baby and probably didn't have any skills to be

00:17:25.309 --> 00:17:27.210
in that position to begin with. He didn't know

00:17:27.210 --> 00:17:29.970
what real leadership was and didn't know how

00:17:29.970 --> 00:17:32.130
to recognize it. And that's a problem when you

00:17:32.130 --> 00:17:36.650
crash on an island and you don't know what to

00:17:36.650 --> 00:17:41.410
do. Right. Like because I just think that, you

00:17:41.410 --> 00:17:45.509
know, the script was brilliant at making this

00:17:45.509 --> 00:17:50.119
character dynamic where it played on. Our hyper

00:17:50.119 --> 00:17:53.900
individualistic culture. Everybody wants to save

00:17:53.900 --> 00:17:58.720
themselves. But the irony, the cosmic joke, if

00:17:58.720 --> 00:18:01.799
you want to call it that. Isolation is its own

00:18:01.799 --> 00:18:06.779
death sentence. You need a tribe. You know, even

00:18:06.779 --> 00:18:08.299
if you can't stand them, you still got to have

00:18:08.299 --> 00:18:11.119
them. You still got to have them people. You

00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:15.920
see that on shows like Survivor, Alone, Naked

00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:19.430
and Afraid. Yes. When their survival skills are

00:18:19.430 --> 00:18:22.809
put to the test, they're almost often more valuable

00:18:22.809 --> 00:18:26.130
together as a couple. Even when one is pulling

00:18:26.130 --> 00:18:28.289
more of the weight than the other. I think even

00:18:28.289 --> 00:18:30.349
on Naked and Afraid, I've seen enough episodes

00:18:30.349 --> 00:18:33.109
to see that they make it better. They're more

00:18:33.109 --> 00:18:36.430
likely to make it together than when one leaves

00:18:36.430 --> 00:18:39.150
or taps out early than the other one. It's a

00:18:39.150 --> 00:18:43.009
real struggle to get to the 21 days or 40 days

00:18:43.009 --> 00:18:45.490
or whatever the time is that they have to stay

00:18:45.490 --> 00:18:50.079
there. uh alone uh when you watch the show alone

00:18:50.079 --> 00:18:54.940
you see the top survivalist people in the world

00:18:54.940 --> 00:18:59.339
are doing this show and even they struggle i

00:18:59.339 --> 00:19:01.859
mean you watch them struggle to make a fire you

00:19:01.859 --> 00:19:06.279
they struggle to find food um so even if she's

00:19:06.279 --> 00:19:09.460
been training to be on survivor uh linda little

00:19:10.369 --> 00:19:13.049
The fact that she is able to go to this island

00:19:13.049 --> 00:19:16.150
and actually use those skills and thrive and

00:19:16.150 --> 00:19:18.970
then think to herself, I might stay here forever.

00:19:19.329 --> 00:19:21.789
Yeah. I don't ever need to go home. To the point

00:19:21.789 --> 00:19:24.890
where she murders people to make it happen. Yeah.

00:19:25.009 --> 00:19:27.569
Which is, I mean, then you start to come into

00:19:27.569 --> 00:19:29.829
an argument of like, well, she took it a little

00:19:29.829 --> 00:19:32.910
farther, I think maybe. Yeah. Yeah. Then it goes

00:19:32.910 --> 00:19:36.410
from, then it's not, then once again, we've got

00:19:36.410 --> 00:19:40.220
a genre blender. It's not the. female revenge

00:19:40.220 --> 00:19:44.059
movie now we've got a criminal as well you know

00:19:44.059 --> 00:19:48.339
she's a kidnapper uh murderers yeah right yeah

00:19:48.339 --> 00:19:50.980
we've got a problem here for sure but i do want

00:19:50.980 --> 00:19:52.619
to talk about like you talk about community or

00:19:52.619 --> 00:19:56.039
doing it together the question that i have when

00:19:56.039 --> 00:20:00.559
i watch this movie is a question of worth a person's

00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:02.980
worth because if you go to the beginning of the

00:20:02.980 --> 00:20:09.440
movie linda is treated like she's worthless she's

00:20:09.440 --> 00:20:12.799
disposable she's dispensable it's it's like oh

00:20:12.799 --> 00:20:14.640
we were gonna give you a promotion but we decided

00:20:14.640 --> 00:20:17.440
not to because i mean they don't say it outright

00:20:17.440 --> 00:20:20.920
but basically you don't meet our expectations

00:20:20.920 --> 00:20:23.819
yeah what a person should look like and smell

00:20:23.819 --> 00:20:27.759
like and what they have for lunch in their drawer

00:20:27.759 --> 00:20:31.859
or whatever yeah but Where is Linda's worth?

00:20:31.960 --> 00:20:34.940
Where is her worth? Because she is obviously

00:20:34.940 --> 00:20:39.240
capable, smart, a hard worker. She's carrying

00:20:39.240 --> 00:20:42.559
the company on her back as far as like what she's

00:20:42.559 --> 00:20:45.900
able to do. So much so that they'll allow her

00:20:45.900 --> 00:20:50.380
to make the presentations and the reports, but

00:20:50.380 --> 00:20:52.859
they won't let her present it. Yeah. You can

00:20:52.859 --> 00:20:55.859
come along. She can do all the work on her laptop,

00:20:55.940 --> 00:20:59.210
but... They're not going to actually thank her,

00:20:59.230 --> 00:21:01.430
promote her, pay her more, like any of the things

00:21:01.430 --> 00:21:04.869
that count as worth, right? And then what is

00:21:04.869 --> 00:21:07.369
her worth on this island when it's just the two

00:21:07.369 --> 00:21:10.470
of them? Then where does her worth become and

00:21:10.470 --> 00:21:13.349
where is his worth? And when does it become like

00:21:13.349 --> 00:21:16.210
a patriarchal kind of like there's a hierarchy?

00:21:16.349 --> 00:21:19.690
I'm above you. And what would it look like if

00:21:19.690 --> 00:21:22.529
it was more of a matriarchal community? We all

00:21:22.529 --> 00:21:26.700
find our worth and our contributions. As a community

00:21:26.700 --> 00:21:29.460
together, no one is above or below anyone else.

00:21:29.819 --> 00:21:33.779
Yeah. Right? If me and you crash on an island,

00:21:34.019 --> 00:21:36.480
what are we doing? What's going to happen? We're

00:21:36.480 --> 00:21:40.160
going to talk first. This is what I can see happening.

00:21:40.680 --> 00:21:46.059
Okay. Is me and you discussing, hey, what kind

00:21:46.059 --> 00:21:48.259
of survival skills do you have? Hey, what do

00:21:48.259 --> 00:21:51.880
you have? Hey, what should we do first? Let's

00:21:51.880 --> 00:21:54.650
talk about what would we do first, Coco? We would

00:21:54.650 --> 00:21:56.809
make a good team because although I don't have

00:21:56.809 --> 00:21:58.630
the skills of actually being able to do a whole

00:21:58.630 --> 00:22:02.890
lot, I'm very capable of following directions.

00:22:03.069 --> 00:22:06.710
Oh, you are. And I'm a good idea person. So I

00:22:06.710 --> 00:22:09.069
can be like, here's what I think we should do.

00:22:09.269 --> 00:22:11.769
Now you tell me how we get those things done

00:22:11.769 --> 00:22:15.769
and I will do what I'm told. And I have always

00:22:15.769 --> 00:22:18.509
seen it in you. It is. You do follow directions

00:22:18.509 --> 00:22:22.559
right to the T. But what? So you would want me

00:22:22.559 --> 00:22:25.420
to come up with our first idea and then, because

00:22:25.420 --> 00:22:27.400
I know the first thing we should do. I'd be like,

00:22:27.460 --> 00:22:29.700
I think we should get fire. What do you think?

00:22:30.079 --> 00:22:33.319
This is what some people do. Now how do we make

00:22:33.319 --> 00:22:36.740
a fire? And I would look at you and say, do you

00:22:36.740 --> 00:22:40.299
think fire will help us live? Because I think

00:22:40.299 --> 00:22:43.660
we should go find fresh water first. Right, yeah.

00:22:44.039 --> 00:22:46.680
We'd go find our water source and then we'd probably

00:22:46.680 --> 00:22:49.779
build a shelter and then get our fire going.

00:22:51.979 --> 00:22:55.400
But this is it. It wouldn't be, oh, I'm above

00:22:55.400 --> 00:22:59.059
you. Go get the wood. Go get the... No, no, no,

00:22:59.099 --> 00:23:01.859
no. That's not how you do it. We would definitely

00:23:01.859 --> 00:23:05.140
be equals out there. Even if you were following

00:23:05.140 --> 00:23:08.160
my direction and instruction, I would still see

00:23:08.160 --> 00:23:09.700
you as an equal because we ain't getting out

00:23:09.700 --> 00:23:12.779
of there if I don't look at it like that. Yeah.

00:23:13.349 --> 00:23:16.569
Yeah. And one thing to understand about like

00:23:16.569 --> 00:23:19.309
the difference between a matriarchal system and

00:23:19.309 --> 00:23:21.589
a patriarchal system is that there's the hierarchy

00:23:21.589 --> 00:23:24.410
in a patriarchal system of like, I have authority

00:23:24.410 --> 00:23:27.950
over you. You do what I say. No questions. I'm

00:23:27.950 --> 00:23:29.769
not saying that's bad. I think there's a lot

00:23:29.769 --> 00:23:32.089
of situations where that's needed. I understand

00:23:32.089 --> 00:23:34.250
like that's the way hospitals run. Like there

00:23:34.250 --> 00:23:37.109
has to be a hierarchy of like, I have tenure

00:23:37.109 --> 00:23:39.509
here. I have more, you know, time and skills

00:23:39.509 --> 00:23:42.470
I put in and we don't have time for you to question

00:23:42.470 --> 00:23:45.849
me as an authority figure. Right. So it saves

00:23:45.849 --> 00:23:48.609
lives. I get there's a place for that, but a

00:23:48.609 --> 00:23:50.349
matriarchal system is a little bit more like

00:23:50.349 --> 00:23:53.130
what you just described where like, it's about

00:23:53.130 --> 00:23:55.869
everybody puts the community as a priority first,

00:23:55.990 --> 00:24:00.440
rather than who's in charge of that. community

00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:04.599
so it's just interesting that while linda was

00:24:04.599 --> 00:24:06.799
in a system that was very patriarchal in her

00:24:06.799 --> 00:24:11.220
corporate job she has like no say in what happens

00:24:11.220 --> 00:24:13.680
to her she's completely at the mercy of this

00:24:13.680 --> 00:24:17.839
nepo baby boss that she's got and then she switches

00:24:17.839 --> 00:24:20.740
those roles and then she's like you will do what

00:24:20.740 --> 00:24:23.619
i say unquestioningly on this island because

00:24:23.619 --> 00:24:27.380
i have the authority what's your final thoughts

00:24:27.380 --> 00:24:31.309
on send help Oh, man, I just I always dreamed

00:24:31.309 --> 00:24:36.529
as a kid when I was really treated badly or made

00:24:36.529 --> 00:24:40.029
fun of, usually by boys. I'm just going to say.

00:24:40.130 --> 00:24:44.349
Yeah, I get it. I mean, too. But but the way

00:24:44.349 --> 00:24:47.349
that you see it in this movie, that's I recognize

00:24:47.349 --> 00:24:50.130
that more having having had that happen with

00:24:50.130 --> 00:24:51.930
boys when I was in elementary school than girls.

00:24:52.529 --> 00:24:55.730
And I would have loved an opportunity to get

00:24:55.730 --> 00:25:00.630
back at them or to. show show them up somehow

00:25:00.630 --> 00:25:03.490
a dream come true so that was really satisfying

00:25:03.490 --> 00:25:06.210
to watch in this movie is to see that moment

00:25:06.210 --> 00:25:09.549
where she stabs the rat yeah and her throat a

00:25:09.549 --> 00:25:16.369
feral primal like um almost like a tiger i don't

00:25:16.369 --> 00:25:17.970
know how else to describe it she's just like

00:25:17.970 --> 00:25:21.750
don't question me again or this will be your

00:25:21.750 --> 00:25:25.869
testicles yeah satisfying i'm not gonna lie i

00:25:25.869 --> 00:25:28.329
don't agree with the murdering but That was fun

00:25:28.329 --> 00:25:31.410
to watch. It was. And then that was a nice twist,

00:25:31.549 --> 00:25:34.849
I think. That's a Sam Raimi, you know, type of

00:25:34.849 --> 00:25:38.609
thing to throw in there to do. And they could

00:25:38.609 --> 00:25:40.250
have kept the movie straight and just done it

00:25:40.250 --> 00:25:43.950
without the murder. And it would have still been

00:25:43.950 --> 00:25:45.609
great. It would have still been great because

00:25:45.609 --> 00:25:47.309
we got that character dynamic. We get to see

00:25:47.309 --> 00:25:48.670
and we get to sit here and break down and talk

00:25:48.670 --> 00:25:51.289
about. I've been in that corporate world. I've

00:25:51.289 --> 00:25:55.569
seen that type of stuff go on and maybe not recognized

00:25:55.569 --> 00:25:58.009
it. at the moment, but thought about it later

00:25:58.009 --> 00:26:01.049
and realized, oh, that's why all the girls were

00:26:01.049 --> 00:26:04.589
piled up in my tiny -ass little studio. They

00:26:04.589 --> 00:26:06.849
felt better in there. They felt good around me.

00:26:06.930 --> 00:26:11.069
I wasn't doing that stuff. Make them feel used.

00:26:12.150 --> 00:26:16.029
Make them feel seen and safe and, you know, at

00:26:16.029 --> 00:26:18.349
least that their contributions are recognized

00:26:18.349 --> 00:26:21.829
and appreciated. I hope so. If I ever worked

00:26:21.829 --> 00:26:23.269
with you and I made you feel that way, hit me

00:26:23.269 --> 00:26:26.240
up. I want to hear that. I want to know. I don't

00:26:26.240 --> 00:26:28.339
ask for much. I'd like to know. I got a couple

00:26:28.339 --> 00:26:31.740
names in mind that I, yeah, I could probably,

00:26:31.880 --> 00:26:34.259
I won't say them. It shouldn't be that rare,

00:26:34.279 --> 00:26:39.420
and yet it is, and that's sad. Yeah. Let's do

00:26:39.420 --> 00:26:42.039
better, humans. Yeah, do better. Do better. I

00:26:42.039 --> 00:26:44.539
love this movie. I think this movie was a no

00:26:44.539 --> 00:26:46.960
-nonsense thriller that really punched above

00:26:46.960 --> 00:26:49.339
its weight class. Like, I'm serious. I don't

00:26:49.339 --> 00:26:53.150
know why this one didn't get more. love from

00:26:53.150 --> 00:26:55.789
maybe it did I just did maybe I missed it maybe

00:26:55.789 --> 00:26:58.910
I'm on the wrong frequency and I didn't see it

00:26:58.910 --> 00:27:01.930
come out but I mean I think I found it and then

00:27:01.930 --> 00:27:03.849
had to tell you right and you didn't even know

00:27:03.849 --> 00:27:06.390
it was out yeah I didn't realize it was out streaming

00:27:06.390 --> 00:27:09.069
but I had remembered watching the trailer yeah

00:27:09.069 --> 00:27:11.430
and you you'd been waiting on it right like they

00:27:11.430 --> 00:27:13.789
didn't something else must have come out on Disney

00:27:13.789 --> 00:27:17.509
and Hulu right at the same time because no we

00:27:17.509 --> 00:27:22.160
can't all the time we're we're just too We're

00:27:22.160 --> 00:27:27.039
just human beings. Yeah. I got to say, final

00:27:27.039 --> 00:27:31.940
thought, that in a landscape out there of bloated

00:27:31.940 --> 00:27:36.079
three -hour corporate products, a movie that

00:27:36.079 --> 00:27:38.240
knows exactly what it wants to do and executes

00:27:38.240 --> 00:27:41.880
it with sharp wit and tension is rare. And that

00:27:41.880 --> 00:27:44.319
one is right here in front of you as Send Help.

00:27:44.400 --> 00:27:46.940
I give it a must watch. You got to watch this.

00:27:47.000 --> 00:27:49.240
Go watch it tonight. It's long, but it won't

00:27:49.240 --> 00:27:51.660
feel long. It won't feel long at all. I watched

00:27:51.660 --> 00:27:53.700
it in one sitting and I think it is over two

00:27:53.700 --> 00:27:57.519
hours long and that's rare for me. So yeah, go

00:27:57.519 --> 00:28:00.460
check this movie out. I am just playing. She

00:28:00.460 --> 00:28:02.640
is Coco. You are the freaks. And this is parallel

00:28:02.640 --> 00:28:04.900
frequencies. We will see you on the other side.
