00:00:02.799 --> 00:00:10.919
Is that eggnon? I love pig. They would tear me up to the

2
00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:18.160
guy like you didn't make it to
a Christmas dinner table taddy. Oh miss

3
00:00:18.600 --> 00:00:22.320
so much. Boys, it's duck
in time. It is so nice to

4
00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:26.800
have you three kids together again under
this roof. Christmas is my favorite time

5
00:00:26.839 --> 00:00:32.240
of year. Oh, I love
ribs. How do you like my family

6
00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:46.079
brisket? It's not supposed to be
like this. It's supposed to be about

7
00:00:46.359 --> 00:00:56.560
warm the tradition. If it's special, it'd be really special. Don't be

8
00:00:56.560 --> 00:01:17.400
a white Christmas Look at me yes
or noe? What merry Christmas? Bitch.

9
00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:34.719
In a world where podcasts reign supreme, two friends dare to ask Do

10
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:47.519
You Even? Movie? Hosted by
filmmaker Enrique Kuto and movie aficionado David Denyer.

11
00:01:53.280 --> 00:02:07.000
Spoiler alert, Hey my friends,
it's time for yet another holiday rendition

12
00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:10.000
of Do You Even? Movie?
I'm, of course your host Enrique Kuto

13
00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:17.400
here with my good buddy and co
host double D. I forget David Denoyer

14
00:02:19.159 --> 00:02:23.840
here, and we are we are
extra jolly. Yes we are, because

15
00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:30.840
not only are we full of good
cheer and joy to the world, but

16
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:37.400
also just generalized holiday stress absolutely which
would it make sense if that wasn't the

17
00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:42.000
case, Absolutely would not. I
mean it's it's kind of one of those

18
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:45.039
things where we love Christmas so much, but because of that, we we

19
00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:49.360
kind of throw ourselves into it every
year to where it's like when we we

20
00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:52.319
get to our time where we get
to watch movies together, it's just completely

21
00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:54.639
us uploading. Uh yeah, no, unloading is a good way to put

22
00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:59.000
it. In fact, you know
what? Real quick? Yeah, hey,

23
00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:02.520
editor, let's throw in something a
little Christmasy underneath. Okay, I

24
00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:08.120
want to tell a story to start
the show, a Christmas story. Years

25
00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:15.680
ago, there was a young man
named David, unfortunately, and David was

26
00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:22.680
having a very difficult Christmas season,
yes, for he hated his boss and

27
00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:28.560
also probably himself, yeah a little
bit. But David had a friend,

28
00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:35.319
a friend named a name no one
can pronounce when reading it. Perhaps it

29
00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:40.759
was Enrique, perhaps it was Heinrich, perhaps it was Honriq. Blue can

30
00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:49.360
say. But one day David came
to however you say his name, and

31
00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:53.240
said, I know, bro,
we're supposed to watch a movie together,

32
00:03:53.639 --> 00:04:00.439
but I'm just not feeling very christmasy. And his best buddy fell felt that

33
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:06.919
in his core being because both of
these dumbasses love Christmas so very much.

34
00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:14.280
Whew. So what did he do
but say, you come over right now

35
00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:19.879
and you sit down. We're watching
Eaton Alive aka magyati Vv, to which

36
00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:26.199
David said, but that's not a
Christmas movie, to which Enrique said,

37
00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:30.399
it's got a green jungle, it's
got red blood. That's Christmas and Santa,

38
00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:34.360
and there is a Santa clause at
the beginning, which he didn't remember

39
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:40.360
at first. So they watched that
film and they had a laugh. And

40
00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:44.680
they watched that film and felt squeek
queasy when the real animal death occurred.

41
00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:49.279
Yes, but in the end,
laughter was had and Christmas was saved,

42
00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:55.319
was saved in a way it really
was by Joe Demato, correct by I

43
00:04:55.360 --> 00:05:00.720
don't know no, no, Magyatta
viv is lendsay right, but no,

44
00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:03.639
yeah we we one time we're not
feeling the Christmas season, and I made

45
00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:10.160
mainyati vv become a Christmas movie.
Since now that being said, that transitions

46
00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:15.000
moderately well into Mercy Christmas, which
if you haven't seen Mercy Christmas Kids,

47
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:17.720
you need to watch it. It's
readily available on a ton of streaming services

48
00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:21.639
for you to enjoy or to own
yourself on DVD or Blu ray. Yes,

49
00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:28.839
and uh. It is a holiday
film that features merriment, lights,

50
00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:35.639
lots of family dinners, also cannibalism, masochism, violence. Really, the

51
00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:39.720
only thing they didn't touch on that
I'm kind of surprised they didn't is there's

52
00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:43.600
no incests at all. You know, I'm honestly shocked they didn't just have

53
00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:46.800
the brother and sister fucking kiss kiss
fuck us. But that being said,

54
00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:51.040
phenomenal movie. Yeah, I just
we we have just finished watching it,

55
00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:55.600
which I think we may have skipped
it last year. I can't remember.

56
00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:59.199
I think we did. We did. It's a little heavy sometimes to watch,

57
00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:02.439
but but this year we had to
bring it back because we had to

58
00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:06.360
talk about it on this podcast because
this is one of many films that Dave

59
00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:13.079
and I have enjoyed that is so
underappreciated. I want to say so much

60
00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:19.360
so that Mercy Christmas is in a
top echelon of Christmas horror movies. Yeah,

61
00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:25.920
and to be not even ten years
old and in that space because it

62
00:06:25.959 --> 00:06:30.120
does things, I'm actually shocker,
humble Bragg. I'm actually reading a book

63
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:36.319
about Christmas horror movies are the title
of which I can't remember. Have a

64
00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:41.079
Scary Little Christmas. I think,
scary Little Christmas I think is You're right,

65
00:06:41.399 --> 00:06:45.800
But it is like an academic book
about Christmas horror movies. So it's

66
00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:47.720
not just like, yeah, this
will Goublets plants, although it is a

67
00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:51.199
little bit of that. It is
a movie about all of the Christmas horror

68
00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:55.759
films and why they're Christmas. Ye. And one thing it mentions that this

69
00:06:55.800 --> 00:07:00.000
film has heavily is there are kind
of two kinds of Christmas horror movie.

70
00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:03.160
Christmas horror movies that take place at
Christmas and use that as a setting,

71
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:11.480
and films that take the Christmas season
and use it to kind of weeedle into

72
00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:16.480
your nostalgia center and kind of get
you to take your expectations of a Christmas

73
00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:19.600
movie, yeah, and run with
it in a scary way. And this

74
00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:26.480
film absolutely is the latter and not
the former. Yeah, it is a

75
00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:30.560
Christmas e movie about Christmas and about
family, but it is a disgusting,

76
00:07:31.160 --> 00:07:36.319
nasty, mean spirited horror film.
Harrowing is a good word for it.

77
00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:42.759
And we discovered this just from our
constant hunt I mean or for a holiday

78
00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:46.279
horror and just holiday in general.
But especially holiday horror. That is one

79
00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:48.759
thing that I think we really need
to make our listeners clear on is that

80
00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:55.319
when Enrique says that we're Christmas fans, we will literally scour your streaming services

81
00:07:55.319 --> 00:07:59.199
insert here name for any title we
can come up, whether it's new,

82
00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:01.480
whether it's old, or we just
haven't seen it. I mean, that's

83
00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:05.160
how we came across such titles as
like a Mother Crampis and Red Christmas,

84
00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:09.839
which if you ever won an anti
abortion Christmas field, which it both doesn't

85
00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:13.199
Red Christmas, and and and and
that's how we found this one. Yeah,

86
00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:16.480
exactly. In fact, this one
i'd never heard a word about.

87
00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:20.839
No, I think you found it
or did I find it? We found

88
00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:22.439
it together on on on Prime,
I believe. I think I think we

89
00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:26.959
were just going I think I just
searched Christmas horror. Yeah, and it

90
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:28.199
came up. Yeah, and we
watched the trailer and it was just like,

91
00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:31.800
well that looks fun, and we
took a shot on it. Yeah,

92
00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:35.360
I mean it just this is probably
our third or fourth time watching weether.

93
00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:39.519
We were both quiet when it ended
because we couldn't believe how awesome it

94
00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:43.200
was. Yes, and I'm not
I would not say that lightly. No,

95
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:50.600
it was awesome. This film has
everything I love in a mean spirited

96
00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:54.000
horror movie. Yeah, and something
you're going to learn about me as I

97
00:08:54.039 --> 00:09:00.440
as you listen to me enthus about
holiday movies and horror movies in general.

98
00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:03.879
Yeah, I don't mind a mean
spirited film, not at all. I

99
00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:07.240
will watch a mean spirited horror movie. But if it has no payoff,

100
00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:11.159
yeah, then it becomes kind of
hard to digest for Yeah, pardon the

101
00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:13.919
pun. It's it's one of those
things where when you get into enough mean

102
00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:18.320
spirited horror films, or even just
horror films in general, the ending where

103
00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:20.200
it's like, oh, well,
good didn't prevail an evil still, it's

104
00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:22.559
like you can take those for a
little bit. But after a while,

105
00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:26.159
yeah, that was edgy in like
two thousand and seven, two thousand and

106
00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:30.000
eight, two thousand and nine,
Yeah, and then everything and it was

107
00:09:30.080 --> 00:09:33.080
no longer or scared open ended where
it's just like the killer may have gotten

108
00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:37.639
away, they found a burning mask, Like yeah, well, you mean

109
00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:41.679
like in that piece of crap Halloween
two Got as daysavorite But no, no,

110
00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:46.639
in all seriousness, it's like watching
Last House on the Left without the

111
00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:50.639
last segment ye last ten minutes.
Yeah, yeah, that movie would be

112
00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:54.840
hard to take. Yeah, Like
I remember that, uh that David DeFalco

113
00:09:56.000 --> 00:10:00.039
movie. Uh ko, Chaos,
Chaos, I thank you Chaos. I

114
00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:03.159
think it was Chaos. Yeah,
that's something like that. Yeah whatever.

115
00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:05.240
It was his ripoff of Last House
on the Left, except it ended with

116
00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:09.840
the bad guys winning. Yeah,
and I was just like, Wow,

117
00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:15.240
what a pointless experience. Yeah,
And I'm I'm not here to say that

118
00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:18.320
it's a bad movie. I'm here
to say that it was not for me.

119
00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:24.120
For me, if you're going to
have characters do truly unforgivable things,

120
00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:28.919
as an audience, give us something
back, yeah, let us get revenge.

121
00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:33.559
Yes. And this movie not only
was it fearless in its mean spiritedness,

122
00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:37.679
it was fearless in creating characters that
we really feel for her about it

123
00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:43.440
and efficiently. Yes, this film
is like eighty three minutes and it absolutely

124
00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:48.879
delivers so much. Now I feel
like I've built it up an awful lot.

125
00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:54.240
So Dave, throw us the pertinent
beats on Mercy Christmas. All right,

126
00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:58.000
Mercy Christmas twenty seventeen release DGE Shot
in twenty sixteen. This film is

127
00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:01.759
directed by Ryan Nelson. He has
only this one debut to his name,

128
00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:05.480
but he was directory erectorial debut.
You can't have more than one day,

129
00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:09.519
you cannot. I always make that
mistake. But I would like to point

130
00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:13.039
out in regards to his background,
he was a grip on Bad Boys two

131
00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:16.960
in two thousand and three, Wedding
Crashers in five, Real Steal in twenty

132
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:20.799
eleven, the Avengers in twenty twelve. Then he did second unit key grip

133
00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:24.039
on Hunters, the Amazon Prime series, and he's also just recently wrapped a

134
00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:28.279
key grip on Justified, City Primeval. It would appear that he is a

135
00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:31.360
key grip for like his main gig, Yeah, and which is awesome.

136
00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:33.639
Yeah, and Justified. I haven't
watched City Premieval Love. Ye haven't either

137
00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:37.039
yet. My parents Justified fans,
but we haven't watched that yet. So

138
00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:41.879
no, But I gotta say something
right now, Ryan Nelson, I know

139
00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:48.120
you're watching his direct another film.
Yes, I look, I am a

140
00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:54.759
B movie director as my day job. Just I I if that film underperformed,

141
00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:58.759
if it did not make money for
you, it is not the film's

142
00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:03.440
fault and it is not your fault. No, you did a phenomenal job

143
00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:11.399
making a highly entertaining film that was
well directed, well thought out. Come

144
00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:13.960
back, Yes, make another movie. For the love of God. Don't

145
00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:18.159
be discouraged. That's all I want
to say. If you're feeling discouraged,

146
00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:22.200
if for some ungodly reason you're watching
or listening to this, we want you

147
00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:26.720
back. Yeah. You're a damn
fine filmmaker, absolutely, and you deserve

148
00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:31.200
all of the praise you're about to
get. So anyway, sorry to digress.

149
00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:33.120
So going back to him as well. He also wrote this with Beth

150
00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:37.919
Levy Nelson his his wife, so
they wrote this film together. This is

151
00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:41.919
a shop buy cinematographer Kenneth Neil Moore, he was a camera operator on Ten

152
00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:45.600
Items or Less in two thousand and
nine. Take Shelter in twenty eleven that

153
00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:50.000
like Michael Shannon, Oh my god, that movie is so painful and good.

154
00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:52.799
Yeah. He also did Mud in
twenty twelve, Righteous Gemstones in twenty

155
00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:58.919
nineteen, The Hunt in twenty twenty, And I want to mention Righteous Gemstones.

156
00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:03.320
That's interesting because I know for a
fact that Ryan Nelson studied film in

157
00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:09.639
North Carolina, just like the guys
behind Righteous Gemstones, just like David Gordon

158
00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:11.759
Green and all those folks, they're
all from North Carolina or went to school

159
00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:16.279
together in North Carolina. So that's
a really interesting tidbit. And I bet

160
00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:18.840
you that. I mean, that
makes sense that he's a camera op on

161
00:13:18.879 --> 00:13:24.399
all these movies because what we have
here, and it warms my goddamn heart,

162
00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:28.559
is we have a film directed by
a guy who usually is a key

163
00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:31.120
grip or a grip and shot by
a guy who's off in a camera op.

164
00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:37.120
You have people who are biding their
time to step up and become that

165
00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:41.120
next step. And that happens all
the time. I mean you'll see assistant

166
00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:46.320
cameras become cameras become dps and so
on and so forth. Yeah, so

167
00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:48.639
I just want to say, like, y'all brought your goddamn a game.

168
00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:54.600
I'm sorry, I'm raving because I
love movies, and I love B movies.

169
00:13:56.039 --> 00:14:01.120
I work in B movies. I'm
a big believer that there are generally

170
00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:03.360
no bad movies, only bad audience, since you're often the wrong audience for

171
00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:07.879
the film, but the film is
fine. Yeah, it's rare that I

172
00:14:07.919 --> 00:14:11.200
watch a movie where I'm like,
maybe they cobbled together thirty grand, maybe

173
00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:13.759
they didn't. Maybe it was all
favors. Yeah, and they just knocked

174
00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:16.559
my goddamn socks off. Yeah.
So honestly, I would kiss you all

175
00:14:16.600 --> 00:14:20.480
on the mouth. I mean that, I really too, I would kiss

176
00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:22.679
you all in the mouth. So
anyway, sorry, yeah, you're fine,

177
00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:35.759
digressing. Do You Even? Movie? Will be right back, welcome

178
00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:41.919
back to Do You Even? Movie? And then wrapping us up as the

179
00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:46.200
editor on this because the one thing
that I solely love about this film is

180
00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:48.919
the editing, and it's the only
thing you love that's not solely. That

181
00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:52.399
solely is the wrong word. Sorely, sorely, no, shut up.

182
00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:58.279
But the editor is Matt Evans.
He did Prick, which was Nelson's short

183
00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:01.720
film back in twenty twelve. He
also an editor on The Cloverfield Paradox in

184
00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:03.559
twenty eighteen. Oh wow, that's
a that's a big gig. The main

185
00:15:03.799 --> 00:15:09.480
editor on Overlord in twenty eighteen.
Wow. Yeah, okay, Black and

186
00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:13.720
Blue in twenty nineteen, Samaritan,
the Syvester Stallone movie. Yes, yes,

187
00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:16.240
I like that one man, pretty
good. Main editor on The Pope's

188
00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:18.039
Exorcist. You haven't seen that,
have you? I have not yet.

189
00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:22.000
I need to. You would love
it. You would absolutely love the Pope's

190
00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:24.080
Exorcist. Yeah, you go see
that, I do. And by go

191
00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:26.120
see that, I mean watching it
at home because it's out of theaters.

192
00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:30.480
So that's true. So Wrapping Us
Up is the synopsis of this film.

193
00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:33.200
So Mercy Christmas twenty seventeen. This
is the back of the blu ray cover,

194
00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:37.600
says Michael Briskett crunches numbers in his
isolated, windowless office while coworkers enjoy

195
00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:41.120
the Christmas party he wasn't invited to. When his boss ask help with an

196
00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:45.440
urgent year end report, Michael was
flattered, but there's just one catch.

197
00:15:45.519 --> 00:15:48.960
It needs to be done by Christmas. The stack of research arrives with his

198
00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:52.480
boss's beautiful assistant, Cindy. Michael
is spitting and he invites her to his

199
00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:56.159
holiday gathering that weekend. Cindy ends
up being the only guest to show up

200
00:15:56.159 --> 00:15:58.720
in the two bond over holiday drinks. Cindy convinces Michael to bring his work

201
00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:03.919
along and join her family for a
traditional Christmas celebration. While they're a spiked

202
00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:07.600
glass of eggnog lands Michael and the
family's basement with his hands and feet bound

203
00:16:07.639 --> 00:16:11.639
among three other prisoners. Michael needs
to deliver the year end report or suffer

204
00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:15.360
the way those before him have suffered. I gotta admit it. I mean,

205
00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:19.200
that's not that's a very long way
to get there. Yeah, but

206
00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:23.399
it hits all the main points.
Yeah, very well. But I understand

207
00:16:23.480 --> 00:16:27.080
you. You feel you could improve
on that. Synopsis. My synopsis.

208
00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:30.759
Michael, a Christmas loving hard worker, accepts a dinner invitation only to find

209
00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:37.000
out he's on the menu for a
traditional family of cannibals. A traditional family

210
00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:41.600
of cannibals? What does that mean? Did they they're traditional family for Christmas

211
00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:44.200
and they're also cannibals. I don't
know the wording on it. I was

212
00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:47.120
trying to get the wording right now. This is what happens when you use

213
00:16:47.279 --> 00:16:53.240
Dave GPT. I wouldn't even pay
for that. I probably am. That

214
00:16:53.480 --> 00:17:00.600
is a large language model. Dave
GPT is a small language mob a nerd

215
00:17:00.679 --> 00:17:03.440
joke. If you laughed at this, I'm sorry you don't have a girlfriend.

216
00:17:03.000 --> 00:17:08.400
Uh all right, you ready to
get into this? I especially I

217
00:17:08.440 --> 00:17:11.160
already got into the egg show show. So we put on our bibs and

218
00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:17.400
get ready for the dinner. I
am ready, Eddie, So let's dive

219
00:17:17.480 --> 00:17:21.200
into this one. So Mercy Christmas
is the story of Michael Briskett and Michael

220
00:17:21.200 --> 00:17:25.640
Briskett is played by Stephen Hubble.
He was a grip on The Terminator Sarah

221
00:17:25.680 --> 00:17:30.559
Chrono Chronicle series and also with Avengers. They probably met gripping. Yeah,

222
00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:33.920
because he also did Prick in twenty
twelve. I would say their friendship,

223
00:17:33.319 --> 00:17:37.319
Yeah, was gripping. Was gripping
indeed? No, No, that's really

224
00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:40.160
cool. Yeah, because you really, seriously, you never know where you're

225
00:17:40.160 --> 00:17:42.480
gonna find talented folks like that.
Yeah, And I gotta say if he

226
00:17:42.839 --> 00:17:45.319
well, you're about to talk more. Does he have any big acting credits.

227
00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:48.759
No, that is his only one. Actually, that's his only acting

228
00:17:48.759 --> 00:17:53.440
credit period for real. Yes,
because he Okay, the guy who plays

229
00:17:53.440 --> 00:17:59.160
Michael Briskett in this movie, he
does not leave a fucking thing on the

230
00:17:59.319 --> 00:18:04.319
on the table. He is all
in on that role. He is crying,

231
00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:11.720
he's pleading, he's begging, he's
sincere, he's insecure. He's a

232
00:18:11.960 --> 00:18:17.759
damn fine actor. Yeah. I
I am honestly shocked. Ye that even

233
00:18:17.799 --> 00:18:21.240
the Hubble. Yeah, he only
has his main role is Michael Brisket for

234
00:18:21.319 --> 00:18:23.000
Mercy Christmas in twenty seventeen. He's
got a couple short ones before that.

235
00:18:23.200 --> 00:18:26.119
Oh and there's also a short in
twenty in twenty ten called Mercy Christis.

236
00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:27.519
Yeah. I know you didn't know
about that. I think I did.

237
00:18:27.640 --> 00:18:30.640
Yeah, Yeah, Mercy Christ was
partly a short first and then they developed

238
00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:34.440
it. Probably used the short to
raise money or something. But this dude,

239
00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:37.680
if he has not acted a lot, that is shocking because he's so

240
00:18:37.920 --> 00:18:41.880
good, good and sincerely the heart
and soul of the movie. I mean,

241
00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:45.759
without without Michael Briskett in the performance
that we get from Stephen Hubble,

242
00:18:47.079 --> 00:18:49.039
the movie would not have as much
impact. Even if the family, the

243
00:18:49.119 --> 00:18:52.200
cast of the family is spot fucking
all. Yeah, which they're dead good

244
00:18:52.519 --> 00:18:56.319
too, damn good. I meant
to say not dead. Going into the

245
00:18:56.319 --> 00:19:00.400
family, we have David Rupett,
who's played by who's playing Abe Robillard.

246
00:19:00.680 --> 00:19:03.519
He was on The Rockford Files in
nineteen seventy seven. He appeared in The

247
00:19:03.519 --> 00:19:07.880
Incredible Shrinking Woman in eighty one,
Three's Company in eighty four, Talking Walls

248
00:19:07.920 --> 00:19:11.119
in eighty seven Days of Our Lives
in eighty eight. He had one hundred

249
00:19:11.200 --> 00:19:15.039
and thirty three episodes of Supermarket Sweep
as the host in nineteen ninety. Wow

250
00:19:15.119 --> 00:19:18.960
that I didn't know. Yeah,
And he was also on The True Carry

251
00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:21.559
Show in two thousand and one and
made a brief appearance on True Blood in

252
00:19:21.559 --> 00:19:26.119
two thousand and eight. This dude
is so wholesome. Yes, he is

253
00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:30.640
so like he is as close as
you could get to an older sitcom dad.

254
00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:33.200
Yeah, because his kids are all
in their thirties. Yeah, so

255
00:19:33.279 --> 00:19:37.519
when you watch it, it's like, you know, he's an older gentleman.

256
00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:40.559
He's like the age of our dads, if we both had dads.

257
00:19:40.599 --> 00:19:45.559
Yeah, he's the grandpa. He's
this God, damnit, that took me

258
00:19:45.640 --> 00:19:51.759
a second. Damn you it was
so good. Oh my god, I

259
00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:55.000
have tears of my eyes for multiple
reasons. Now, Oh that's okay,

260
00:19:55.240 --> 00:19:56.480
I'm the bastard in the risk.
Yes, no, no, that was

261
00:19:56.680 --> 00:20:00.720
that was perfect anyway. No,
but yeah, he's so wholesome, so

262
00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:03.720
wholesome, and he really disarms you
when you first meet him. Yeah,

263
00:20:03.759 --> 00:20:07.039
exactly, And I mean that's so
Briskett is. As the synopsis said,

264
00:20:07.039 --> 00:20:10.519
he's a hard worker. He's hard
at work at this Christmas party. And

265
00:20:10.559 --> 00:20:12.880
then his boss, who is Andy
Rollard, who's played by Cole Gleeson,

266
00:20:14.200 --> 00:20:18.440
piece of shit, basically absolute.
I wouldn't call him a I'd call him

267
00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:22.920
a hunkish unker shit like this guy. The writers of this film, Yeah,

268
00:20:23.119 --> 00:20:26.759
we're working out some issues with an
old boss. I think so and

269
00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:32.160
fair enough and rightfully so some bosses
are that bad. Yeah, so,

270
00:20:32.519 --> 00:20:37.799
I mean, like the cruelty of
this boss and the level of like disdain

271
00:20:37.920 --> 00:20:44.160
for anything human. Yeah, he
has a chef kiss anyway, So Andy

272
00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:47.799
Robillard, he is the boss of
Brisket, and he basically task him with

273
00:20:47.839 --> 00:20:52.160
assignment that's like a huge, huge
fraud giant binder of information, number running

274
00:20:52.160 --> 00:20:55.599
and everything that has to be done
by Christmas. And I think we join

275
00:20:55.640 --> 00:20:56.720
them at like what's got to be
the twenty third I would imagine, because

276
00:20:56.799 --> 00:21:00.279
yeah, night before night before Christmas. Yeah, so twenty second, twenty

277
00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:03.680
third, and he is tasked with
this job. So he's like, you

278
00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:07.720
know, I'll have my assistant bring
the paperwork down. The assistant turns out

279
00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:11.200
to be his sister, Cindy,
but we don't find that out right away.

280
00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:14.160
She's played by Casey O'Keefe and she's
awesome in this as well. Oh

281
00:21:14.279 --> 00:21:17.839
yeah, that's I don't know where
they found everybody, yeah, or how

282
00:21:17.880 --> 00:21:21.680
they found everybody, but God damn
talk about lightning striking every single role.

283
00:21:21.799 --> 00:21:25.720
Yeah. So Cindy actually goes to
Brisket's Christmas party. It is literally just

284
00:21:25.759 --> 00:21:27.440
the two of them and they have
the best time. Like it starts off

285
00:21:27.480 --> 00:21:33.000
a little awes sweet. Yeah yeah, yeah, it's it's so like it's

286
00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:37.200
a meat cue. Yeah, it
is legit. Oh my god, it's

287
00:21:37.240 --> 00:21:45.759
a neat, neat, cute eat. Yes, yes it is. That's

288
00:21:45.759 --> 00:21:49.240
for me, that's for you,
that's for me. I deserve that.

289
00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:53.440
But no, what you what you
get to witness is that they're too awkward,

290
00:21:53.599 --> 00:21:56.880
like at first, and then like
they both just love Christmas so much.

291
00:21:57.000 --> 00:22:00.039
Yes, you know, Brisket his
mom talks about how his mom goes

292
00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:03.079
on cruises and he really doesn't get
to spend much time with her in the

293
00:22:03.119 --> 00:22:06.640
holiday and she's the only family.
Yeah, so she comes to the Christmas

294
00:22:06.680 --> 00:22:10.359
party. They exchange gifts, which
is super cute. She exchanges these this

295
00:22:10.759 --> 00:22:15.279
cookie Uh oh, I can't think
what is it? Cookie dough? It's

296
00:22:15.319 --> 00:22:18.839
a baking powder basically, right,
uh yeah yeah yeah, so here Christmas

297
00:22:18.839 --> 00:22:22.000
cooie recipe baking powder and he gives
her gives her a power strip because he

298
00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:26.480
wanted something to be practical. We'll
get back to that. This movie wastes

299
00:22:26.680 --> 00:22:32.240
no time and no motion. It
is such a great experience. I remember

300
00:22:32.279 --> 00:22:33.839
one year I did that as the
midnight movie at my Christmas party and actually

301
00:22:33.839 --> 00:22:36.799
have that in my notes, and
it went over huge. It went over

302
00:22:36.839 --> 00:22:38.759
super well. So they're having their
little Christmas party together, they're laughing,

303
00:22:38.759 --> 00:22:41.960
they're sharing memories, favorite Christmas movies, all this stuff. And at the

304
00:22:42.039 --> 00:22:45.240
end of the of the night,
she decides to invite him to her family

305
00:22:45.279 --> 00:22:48.359
Christmas. And he's like, well, won't that be awkward And she's like,

306
00:22:48.400 --> 00:22:52.839
no, they would love to have
you. Yes, And they avoided

307
00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:56.119
saying they'd love to have you for
dinner. Yeah, yeah, they which

308
00:22:56.119 --> 00:23:00.319
I appreciate because that was so easy. Remember kids, Mercy Christmas. In

309
00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:03.960
my opinion, near damn near a
five star film, doesn't go for that

310
00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:10.000
low hanging fruit. Meanwhile, blood
Rage says that is five times so anyway,

311
00:23:10.799 --> 00:23:12.759
but yeah, so sore. Their
whole scene is so cute, yeah,

312
00:23:12.799 --> 00:23:17.200
because she shows up and realizes she's
the only one there. Yea.

313
00:23:17.720 --> 00:23:22.440
And as soon as she realizes that, instead of being awkward, instead of

314
00:23:22.480 --> 00:23:26.839
being weird, she just goes,
are you Eggno, I love it,

315
00:23:26.920 --> 00:23:32.839
and they just bond over the fact
that they clearly both unironically love Christmas.

316
00:23:33.680 --> 00:23:38.240
The only problem is how dark that
gets a little bit later. But it

317
00:23:38.319 --> 00:23:44.279
seems like it's an unironic love of
Christmas. And I do wonder if,

318
00:23:45.039 --> 00:23:48.519
knowing that what we know, which
we've already revealed enough to know that they're

319
00:23:48.559 --> 00:23:52.720
cannibals, I wonder if the if
going to the party was a way to

320
00:23:53.079 --> 00:23:56.680
test if he would be missed by
anyone, like a way to like confirm.

321
00:23:56.799 --> 00:24:00.160
I think that he could be a
meal. Honestly think it is because

322
00:24:00.200 --> 00:24:04.759
she asked him about the family,
She asked me everything, because I even

323
00:24:04.759 --> 00:24:07.920
look at you and it's like,
is she Patsy, like just to get

324
00:24:07.960 --> 00:24:10.359
him to go be God? Yeah? Yeah. But I don't think her

325
00:24:10.440 --> 00:24:12.920
boss, who his boss turns out
to be her brother. I don't think

326
00:24:12.920 --> 00:24:15.759
he was completely in on it.
He seems somewhat surprised to see him.

327
00:24:15.960 --> 00:24:18.960
Absolutely I could be wrong on that
though. So they hit it off.

328
00:24:19.000 --> 00:24:22.559
She invites him to Christmas. They
go to the Christmas and that's when we

329
00:24:22.599 --> 00:24:25.400
meet, Like I said, Abe
Robillard, who was played by David Rupek,

330
00:24:25.440 --> 00:24:29.279
And then we meet granny who was
played by Gwynn Van Dam and my

331
00:24:29.519 --> 00:24:33.359
god, she's great, perfect casting. Absolute ten one hundred and thirty four

332
00:24:33.400 --> 00:24:37.000
acting credits on her resume. Oh
so she was like a journey woman.

333
00:24:37.119 --> 00:24:38.160
Yeah, I thought she was.
I thought she was one of those people's

334
00:24:38.160 --> 00:24:41.039
been in a lot of stuff.
Dark Shadows in nineteen sixty six, Kentucky

335
00:24:41.079 --> 00:24:45.319
Fried movie in seventy seven, Halloween
in seventy eight, even though I think

336
00:24:45.319 --> 00:24:48.079
her scene was deleted that she's a
nurse in the sanitarium. Oh wow,

337
00:24:48.319 --> 00:24:51.279
yeah, so if she was a
nurse in the sanitaria. Cut, I

338
00:24:51.319 --> 00:24:53.839
was about to say that. Cut. Look at this freaking guy, cuts

339
00:24:53.839 --> 00:24:56.799
me off, doesn't even let me
say my piece. TV cut, TV

340
00:24:56.880 --> 00:25:03.960
CUTT They're crazy. In Eighty Days
of Our Lives eighty three Star Trek Generations

341
00:25:03.960 --> 00:25:07.559
film in ninety four, and also
was in Burlesk in twenty ten. You'll

342
00:25:07.759 --> 00:25:11.160
have you know. She steals the
movie the immediate that she's in there,

343
00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:14.200
because she's that classic holiday granny where
it's like, oh, she's so sweet,

344
00:25:14.319 --> 00:25:18.880
Oh she said shit, yeah,
and she says giblets instead of giblets.

345
00:25:18.960 --> 00:25:22.440
Yes. So we meet the rest
of the family, which is Bart

346
00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:25.720
which is the brother. And we
meet Philip, who is a guy that's

347
00:25:25.759 --> 00:25:29.160
kind of just hanging out there to
get at Cindy. He's Cindy's x y

348
00:25:29.839 --> 00:25:33.079
and she doesn't want to reconcile,
but the family likes him, so they're

349
00:25:33.079 --> 00:25:36.759
like, why not, you know, shoot your shot their sport. Yeah.

350
00:25:36.799 --> 00:25:40.279
So we then we meet Andy,
which we've already met because again he's

351
00:25:40.319 --> 00:25:42.079
the boss, and he shows up
now the way oh sorry, oh no,

352
00:25:42.119 --> 00:25:47.200
god, the way they reveal that
this is is mister Roblart's family is

353
00:25:47.240 --> 00:25:49.559
the best. First of all,
brisket. What a name? Yeah,

354
00:25:49.599 --> 00:25:52.960
what a great He even says that, yeah, brisket, that's my favorite

355
00:25:53.000 --> 00:25:57.279
cut of meat. Love it.
So before they reveal that his this is

356
00:25:57.319 --> 00:26:02.559
his boss's family, he gives this
wonderful speech about like I've never really had

357
00:26:02.599 --> 00:26:06.759
an actual I might cry, I've
never really had an actual Christmas dinner before,

358
00:26:07.319 --> 00:26:10.200
but thanks to you guys, I'm
really excited to have a nice time

359
00:26:10.240 --> 00:26:12.880
with great people and good food.
And see I'll get tears in my eyes

360
00:26:12.880 --> 00:26:15.799
because I'm a fucking I believe in
Christmas, Yeah, I really do.

361
00:26:15.880 --> 00:26:21.839
I believe that Christmas is a time
when people are better than they normally are.

362
00:26:21.880 --> 00:26:23.880
They're kinder, they're sweeter, and
if you disagree, maybe you need

363
00:26:23.920 --> 00:26:26.400
to be kinder and sweeter just being
just go to you know what, to

364
00:26:26.400 --> 00:26:30.559
fuck it' say it. Because I'm
old now, I'm almost forty, fucking

365
00:26:30.960 --> 00:26:34.319
I really do believe that Christmas is
the perfect excuse to be a better person.

366
00:26:34.440 --> 00:26:37.880
Absolutely, and I love that.
I love that whole scene where he

367
00:26:38.359 --> 00:26:41.680
says, you know, thank you
all so much and everything like that,

368
00:26:41.079 --> 00:26:45.279
and then they eat their food,
which is disgusting because because we all and

369
00:26:45.319 --> 00:26:48.519
we also kind of left out there
is foreshadowy. Yeah. Oh yeah,

370
00:26:48.519 --> 00:26:52.519
we see them kidnapping the meat.
Oh yeah, we did, we did,

371
00:26:52.640 --> 00:26:53.599
Yeah, we kind of. It's
hard, Well, it's hard because

372
00:26:53.599 --> 00:26:57.079
this movie has so much going on
so quick and it's so interesting. But

373
00:26:57.160 --> 00:27:00.559
we witness a woman get abducted.
Yeah, We witness a guy who's a

374
00:27:00.559 --> 00:27:04.279
ticket scalper get upduckted, beaten up, and we beat an old man nursing

375
00:27:04.559 --> 00:27:08.000
stolen from a nursing home. Yea, and uh so those are the people

376
00:27:08.000 --> 00:27:11.759
that make it clear something is not
quite right. Yeah, and also we

377
00:27:11.759 --> 00:27:15.759
get right into the horror with that
too, because when the chick gets abducted

378
00:27:15.759 --> 00:27:18.200
by the bar. We watch the
chick she's talking through at the bar get

379
00:27:18.400 --> 00:27:21.480
brutally. Yeah. Yeah, she
gets stabbed to death. Because that's one

380
00:27:21.519 --> 00:27:23.279
thing that we want to be clear
about with this movie. It is not

381
00:27:23.839 --> 00:27:26.759
pleasant when it comes to the violence. No, no, and and that's

382
00:27:26.759 --> 00:27:30.119
the way I like it. Yeah, I don't think it should be ha

383
00:27:30.160 --> 00:27:32.480
ha ha. People are getting stabbed
to death. Nah. I think you

384
00:27:32.559 --> 00:27:36.640
gotta make it hurt to a t. This is a dark horror comedy there.

385
00:27:36.680 --> 00:27:37.799
I would call it pitch black.
Pitch black, yeah, pitch black

386
00:27:37.839 --> 00:27:41.359
absolutely so uh yeah. Robillard is
like, hey, you know, are

387
00:27:41.359 --> 00:27:45.519
you enjoying my family brisket? And
at this point, Abe the dad has

388
00:27:45.519 --> 00:27:47.599
handed him a glass egg long.
He's like, here, you're an eggnog

389
00:27:47.640 --> 00:27:49.240
guy. Yeah. And he's drank
it. Yeah, he started drinking it.

390
00:27:49.359 --> 00:27:52.000
Yeah. And he's drugged. Yeah, he's drugged. But that's one

391
00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:55.200
of the best persons when he says
when he sees him, he says,

392
00:27:55.240 --> 00:27:56.640
you're like my family. I love
the way they do it. Because he

393
00:27:56.680 --> 00:28:03.359
goes mister Robillard and allman at the
table go yes, chef's kiss. So

394
00:28:03.400 --> 00:28:08.200
you're gonna hear so many, so
many chef's kisses. I know, I

395
00:28:08.240 --> 00:28:14.599
know, I know, I know
it's hard to chew on Yeah, I

396
00:28:14.640 --> 00:28:17.799
know. No, I don't even
mean to. I don't even I'm not

397
00:28:17.839 --> 00:28:19.839
even meaning to. But but no, there are so many moments of this

398
00:28:19.880 --> 00:28:23.519
movie that are just straight up like
yeah, just great moments, really well

399
00:28:23.559 --> 00:28:27.359
thought out, and that is one
of them that when we were watching it,

400
00:28:27.400 --> 00:28:32.440
I was probably maybe higher on this
movie the first watch than you even

401
00:28:33.279 --> 00:28:37.799
because I really appreciated everything it did. Yea. And when we were watching

402
00:28:37.839 --> 00:28:40.240
it, literally I think we were
like ten minutes in and I turned you

403
00:28:40.279 --> 00:28:44.039
went yeah, I wasn't as excited
to watch this movie because I forgot just

404
00:28:44.079 --> 00:28:47.359
how good it is. And that's
saying something when there's a movie that you

405
00:28:47.680 --> 00:28:51.680
remember loving yeah, but you're like, wait, oh fuck, this really

406
00:28:51.799 --> 00:28:55.440
is good. This movie is so
good. I remember I said it earlier

407
00:28:55.480 --> 00:28:56.400
and then went yah yah yah because
I said this movie is so good,

408
00:28:56.480 --> 00:29:00.240
should be fattening, Yes you did. I wasn't trying. I know.

409
00:29:00.880 --> 00:29:06.960
I am a poetic man, and
I use a lot of food poem,

410
00:29:07.240 --> 00:29:10.880
the poet, poetic speech. I
took off my glasses and now I can't

411
00:29:10.880 --> 00:29:14.759
see anything. I'm scared Okay,
you go back. So then Brisket gets

412
00:29:14.759 --> 00:29:17.000
taken out of the basement. And
this is one thing I want to make

413
00:29:17.079 --> 00:29:19.920
clear with this movie in regards to
the separation of its settings. So it's

414
00:29:19.960 --> 00:29:23.359
basically a one location horror film for
the most part, or one location.

415
00:29:23.519 --> 00:29:27.400
Yeah. Yeah, they're in this
house. And the house is is not

416
00:29:27.720 --> 00:29:33.160
super big. It's it's upper middle
class. It's not hugely decorated. It's

417
00:29:33.319 --> 00:29:37.200
very spacious. Uh. I know
what you're thinking, It's like, why

418
00:29:37.279 --> 00:29:40.599
is it like what am I a
realization? But my point is it's almost

419
00:29:40.880 --> 00:29:45.039
I mean, it looks like on
the top floor half the time, it's

420
00:29:45.119 --> 00:29:49.440
like a Christmas comedy ye, And
then the basement is fucking soft despair,

421
00:29:49.839 --> 00:29:55.119
despair, harrowing acts and just I
mean everything it's saw I mean I really

422
00:29:55.160 --> 00:29:57.680
mean that, Like it's the collector
in that base. Yeah. Yeah,

423
00:29:57.720 --> 00:30:03.720
yeah, it's it's dank, it's
dark, it's blue, there's nothing life

424
00:30:03.880 --> 00:30:07.200
like in it. But then when
you go upstairs, it's all warm colors

425
00:30:07.359 --> 00:30:11.680
and soft music and soft light.
And that's why I use the phrase meet

426
00:30:11.759 --> 00:30:15.039
cute about them, because, like
the movie, when they are not just

427
00:30:15.160 --> 00:30:19.200
showing the horrors of that basement.
Yeah, the movie is almost like a

428
00:30:19.279 --> 00:30:23.599
Hallmark movie. Absolutely, it's it's
pretty looking, it's it's very pleasing to

429
00:30:23.680 --> 00:30:26.160
look at. And then it stops. Yeah, it's decked out for Christmas

430
00:30:26.240 --> 00:30:30.440
upstairs, and there's some Christmas decorations
downstairs, and we'll get to that right

431
00:30:30.519 --> 00:30:33.160
now. Yeah, there's that light
up side and this says Merry Christmas.

432
00:30:33.400 --> 00:30:36.920
So we get a peek early on
from bart who comes up from the basement

433
00:30:37.559 --> 00:30:41.079
that there's some freaky stuff going on
down there. So that is a mountain

434
00:30:41.119 --> 00:30:45.119
of a man with a big ponytail. He's definitely like the physical enforcer resume

435
00:30:45.240 --> 00:30:48.839
by the way, only wow,
he's good in it. He is,

436
00:30:48.880 --> 00:30:55.039
he's good. Yeah, Do You
Even? Movie will be right back.

437
00:31:02.559 --> 00:31:08.920
Welcome back to Do You Even?
Movie. So we meet in the basement

438
00:31:08.960 --> 00:31:12.200
Catherine who's the kidnapped bartender. She's
played by Whitney Nielsen. We meet Clark

439
00:31:12.200 --> 00:31:15.880
who's the old man played by Steven
T. Bartlett, and then we meet

440
00:31:15.000 --> 00:31:18.960
Eddie who is the ticket scalper played
by DJ Hale, and all three of

441
00:31:19.039 --> 00:31:22.160
them are like, you know,
what the fuck are we doing down here?

442
00:31:22.319 --> 00:31:23.960
Like what's going on? Is Brisket's
like still trying to make sense of

443
00:31:25.000 --> 00:31:29.000
what's happening well, and he's the
most freshly drug yeah, freshly aloof freshly

444
00:31:29.079 --> 00:31:32.720
drugged. And that is when we
get to meet those three. And then

445
00:31:32.799 --> 00:31:37.039
we see Abe and Bart come down
and because they need to get some pieces

446
00:31:37.119 --> 00:31:41.759
for the recipe because then from the
old man, Yeah, from the old

447
00:31:41.799 --> 00:31:44.960
man. Because what we find out
is this is the first Christmas that they've

448
00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:48.480
gotten back together since the mom has
passed previously earlier, you're earlier. And

449
00:31:48.759 --> 00:31:52.279
Casey is the one or Cindy is
the one who is in charge of basically

450
00:31:52.519 --> 00:31:56.200
making the whole dinner. She's taking
over the matriarchal position of the family.

451
00:31:56.440 --> 00:32:00.559
And that's the one, the honeypot, the one who got him in all

452
00:32:00.599 --> 00:32:06.079
this. Yeah, and that's another
element that's very hallmark movie issues, like

453
00:32:06.160 --> 00:32:08.960
a family recovering from loss of a
loved one. Yeah. There are a

454
00:32:09.000 --> 00:32:13.480
lot of moments in this movie where
like two family members are in the kitchen

455
00:32:13.720 --> 00:32:16.839
and there's that moment where it's like, I'm so glad that we're all together.

456
00:32:17.200 --> 00:32:20.599
I just wish your mother could be
here to see this. And then

457
00:32:20.640 --> 00:32:24.440
they're cooking human body parts like it's
it is pitch black and now is a

458
00:32:24.480 --> 00:32:28.920
good time to mention as they take
meat off of that guy. Yeah,

459
00:32:29.839 --> 00:32:36.400
cannibalism gets to me in movies and
TV shows. It makes me squirm.

460
00:32:36.839 --> 00:32:40.279
You literally, all you have to
do is take a piece of normal meat,

461
00:32:40.400 --> 00:32:43.880
like a piece of chicken that's cooked, and go, this is human

462
00:32:43.960 --> 00:32:47.480
skin. And I will go,
oh, okay, he will I've seen

463
00:32:47.519 --> 00:32:51.240
it. No, it's I can't
help it. It's just my imagination.

464
00:32:51.400 --> 00:32:53.759
Just it makes me gross out to
the point where I've tried being vegan.

465
00:32:53.920 --> 00:32:58.480
Yeah, And honestly, like in
some cases, I liked it a lot

466
00:32:58.599 --> 00:33:04.279
because I didn't have to think about
meat so much. I loved the Hannibal

467
00:33:04.359 --> 00:33:07.000
series, but I had to be
hours out of meals to watch it.

468
00:33:07.079 --> 00:33:12.480
They would film in the Hannibal TV
series you watched all right, Oh yeah,

469
00:33:12.480 --> 00:33:15.039
they would film him cooking human meat
like the Loves like it was.

470
00:33:15.720 --> 00:33:17.799
They would film it like it was
the Food Network. Yeah, yeah,

471
00:33:17.799 --> 00:33:22.319
it would be beautiful and attractive.
So and that's kind of what they do

472
00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:28.200
here as well. Absolutely is because
what we find out is that with her

473
00:33:28.279 --> 00:33:31.720
taking over the Christmas that she has
to make all these recipes and that's kind

474
00:33:31.759 --> 00:33:35.680
of where a lot of the dark
humor comes in because you've got Abe and

475
00:33:35.839 --> 00:33:38.920
Bart that are coming down there and
chopping off legs and taking kidneys yea,

476
00:33:38.960 --> 00:33:43.960
and discussing the you know where the
meat cuts come from where? Yeah.

477
00:33:44.319 --> 00:33:46.960
And because of that, now we
have basically a build up of, well,

478
00:33:47.000 --> 00:33:51.160
who's going to make it through these
these four in the basement, And

479
00:33:51.279 --> 00:33:52.720
right off the bat they take the
old man out of the equation. Yea.

480
00:33:53.480 --> 00:33:57.799
He gets his giblets I think made
for the for the first like feast,

481
00:33:57.880 --> 00:34:00.319
yeah, which is mostly your's an
organ yeah kind of thing, not

482
00:34:00.480 --> 00:34:04.720
the cute giblets that mean your testicles, yeah, although that comes later.

483
00:34:04.880 --> 00:34:08.519
Yeah. And then to make matters
worse, you have freakin Andy coming back

484
00:34:08.599 --> 00:34:15.280
down into the basement and grabbing Brisket
to take him back upstairs because he still

485
00:34:15.400 --> 00:34:19.199
needs these works done by Christmas.
He needs the work done because the meeting

486
00:34:19.480 --> 00:34:22.880
that he needs all that paperwork and
research done for is on the twenty sixth.

487
00:34:22.960 --> 00:34:27.880
Yeah. And as we mentioned earlier, the power strip comes back into

488
00:34:27.920 --> 00:34:31.039
play because that is what Brisket gifted
Cindy at their little Christmas party, and

489
00:34:31.639 --> 00:34:35.920
he decides that he's going to use
that against Brisket. Andy does by wrapping

490
00:34:36.000 --> 00:34:38.360
Christmas lights around him, singing off
some of the wires so that they shock,

491
00:34:38.840 --> 00:34:43.239
and now he can shock Brisket with
the power strip and Christmas lights wrapped

492
00:34:43.280 --> 00:34:45.559
all around him. Which keep in
mind, Brisket loves Christmas. He adores

493
00:34:45.639 --> 00:34:50.960
Christmas everything about it. So he's
using the gift that he got for Cindy

494
00:34:51.079 --> 00:34:53.400
and also his love of Christmas with
the Christmas lights and everything against him to

495
00:34:53.559 --> 00:34:58.920
make him work while knowing that he's
most likely going to get killed and eat.

496
00:34:59.119 --> 00:35:00.800
Most likely, no, he's going
to because I mean, come on,

497
00:35:00.880 --> 00:35:04.679
they're not gonna be you know,
sold out by that. They're not

498
00:35:04.800 --> 00:35:07.599
gonna have that take them down.
No, And what Dave is saying,

499
00:35:07.599 --> 00:35:10.840
because I think you painted a picture
of the literal but not the visual.

500
00:35:12.880 --> 00:35:16.960
So literally, Brisket is wrapped in
Christmas lights, but some of the wires

501
00:35:17.000 --> 00:35:21.400
are stuck into his skin, so
when he plugs him in, he lights

502
00:35:21.519 --> 00:35:24.880
up like a Christmas tree and then
starts convulsing in pain. And that is

503
00:35:25.000 --> 00:35:31.199
the pain that he uses to force
Brisket to work. It's so fucking twisted.

504
00:35:31.320 --> 00:35:35.079
It's very twisted, and not to
make matters worse, but they also

505
00:35:35.199 --> 00:35:38.559
are very very on par to make
sure that they have this shocking sound effect

506
00:35:38.719 --> 00:35:45.360
every time that I leave my words
alone. No, but you're right,

507
00:35:45.440 --> 00:35:49.039
No, No, this movie,
they don't skip on anything and the pain

508
00:35:49.199 --> 00:35:52.639
of the special of the sound effects. Yeah. Actually the sound effects of

509
00:35:52.679 --> 00:35:54.199
this movie are really strong, by
the way. I absolutely when during one

510
00:35:54.199 --> 00:35:58.599
of the massacre scenes, they had
the sound of blood dripping so so properly,

511
00:35:58.840 --> 00:36:02.280
I thought my dog was I thought
you kinda was taking a leak in

512
00:36:02.360 --> 00:36:05.639
the back of my house, and
I was like, hold on. I

513
00:36:05.760 --> 00:36:07.960
paused it, and I was like, oh, that's the movie. So,

514
00:36:07.480 --> 00:36:10.719
I mean, they didn't skip on
anything. There's nothing about this very

515
00:36:10.800 --> 00:36:15.440
indie movie that would make you think
you're watching a cheap movie other than the

516
00:36:15.559 --> 00:36:17.239
lack of movie starts. No,
and I mean, and going back to

517
00:36:17.519 --> 00:36:22.599
the family and the whole harmark at
Hallmark aspect of it is then you have

518
00:36:22.719 --> 00:36:23.519
Andy who's like, you know,
his dad comes, He's like, hey,

519
00:36:23.800 --> 00:36:25.559
the game's on, you know,
come on, come on watch the

520
00:36:25.639 --> 00:36:30.519
game. Yeah. So then he
takes the extension cord with the power strip,

521
00:36:30.599 --> 00:36:31.920
plugs it in, sits in the
armchair in the family room with all

522
00:36:31.920 --> 00:36:35.800
of them, and they're watching the
game and then Grandma Granny comes in and

523
00:36:35.880 --> 00:36:37.880
she's like, what are you all
doing? It's time for church. And

524
00:36:38.039 --> 00:36:44.440
there are multiple scenes, including this
one where they're all talking and having like

525
00:36:44.559 --> 00:36:47.760
family discussions about wholesome things, and
literally he's just zapping him in the back

526
00:36:47.800 --> 00:36:55.920
and you just see what the actor
Hubbs, step Stephen Hubble, he does

527
00:36:57.079 --> 00:37:06.039
not. He sells everything, Yeah, with so much empathy. Uh and

528
00:37:06.239 --> 00:37:09.440
and empathy like being able to sell
pain with empathy is everything. Yeah.

529
00:37:10.320 --> 00:37:16.639
I was very very impressed by how
much he made me feel his pain along

530
00:37:16.679 --> 00:37:22.599
with him before he even gives his
incredible monologues later. So yeah, woof

531
00:37:22.840 --> 00:37:25.320
so and the whole thing in regards
of them going to church, it also

532
00:37:25.480 --> 00:37:29.920
presents this whole family dynamic that we
get to see, like you know that

533
00:37:30.000 --> 00:37:31.880
they're, oh, they're they're god
fearing people and that they have all this

534
00:37:32.480 --> 00:37:36.000
love for each other. But yeah, in the meanwhile, they have four

535
00:37:36.199 --> 00:37:38.000
people kidnapped in their basement that they're
taking food from him. Well, and

536
00:37:38.119 --> 00:37:43.920
you know, they they they established
so much that they're religious that uh,

537
00:37:44.840 --> 00:37:47.760
it almost like they don't dive into
their into their origins, which is good

538
00:37:47.760 --> 00:37:51.480
because it wouldn't make any sense to
like have them sit and just go.

539
00:37:51.719 --> 00:37:54.039
So let me tell you about when
we came over on the mayflower and got

540
00:37:54.079 --> 00:37:57.800
infected by the wind to go or
some crap, you know, don't we

541
00:37:57.840 --> 00:38:01.079
don't do that here. But there
is reference to the fact that this is

542
00:38:01.119 --> 00:38:05.039
a tradition, it's a long standing
in their family. It is you know,

543
00:38:05.239 --> 00:38:07.280
et cetera. Actually, you know, if there's ever a mercy Christmas

544
00:38:07.320 --> 00:38:09.760
too, you can steal that,
Wendy go idea. That's a good one.

545
00:38:09.800 --> 00:38:16.840
Actually that would actually work. Uh. But they do a great job

546
00:38:16.920 --> 00:38:20.199
of kind of establishing like, hey, this is what the family does.

547
00:38:20.480 --> 00:38:22.719
That's all there is to it.
It's on the dad's side. Yep.

548
00:38:22.840 --> 00:38:28.079
And they cook and eat people.
It sounds like they do it only around

549
00:38:28.239 --> 00:38:31.639
holidays, like family gatherings is what
it sounds like. But again they don't

550
00:38:31.800 --> 00:38:37.199
really lay that out. The granny
has no problem talking about how to cook

551
00:38:37.239 --> 00:38:38.800
human bodies. When they're talking about
because they missed their mom, it's about

552
00:38:38.800 --> 00:38:43.320
how she knew how to prepare human
legs better and this and that. So,

553
00:38:43.480 --> 00:38:45.960
I mean, it is entirely their
family's thing. Yeah, And there

554
00:38:46.079 --> 00:38:51.599
is a massive disconnect which is meant
to scare you, and it does.

555
00:38:51.719 --> 00:38:53.840
It scares me of how they're like, oh, you know, we have

556
00:38:53.920 --> 00:38:55.559
to go to church and we have
to do this, we have to be

557
00:38:55.679 --> 00:38:59.079
kind and this and this and this, and then the people who are meat

558
00:38:59.159 --> 00:39:01.880
are just meat. And I mean
well, I mean there are multiple times

559
00:39:01.880 --> 00:39:07.679
her Brisket is very effectively you think, yeah, getting sympathy from the killers,

560
00:39:07.719 --> 00:39:10.280
and then you realize that it doesn't
to them, you're just meet though.

561
00:39:10.400 --> 00:39:14.800
Yeah, it's I think the biggest
turning point, which we'll get to

562
00:39:14.880 --> 00:39:19.159
here in a second, is that
you have the family dynamic happening and you

563
00:39:19.199 --> 00:39:22.559
know everything, and Brisket's still holding
onto the fact that maybe maybe I can

564
00:39:22.840 --> 00:39:25.559
get out of this, maybe I
can convince He's in denial about the girl

565
00:39:25.719 --> 00:39:30.599
being one of them. He thinks
that that she is just being taken along

566
00:39:30.719 --> 00:39:37.320
for the ride, and the way
they show that that's not the case is

567
00:39:38.480 --> 00:39:42.320
very effective. So we'll get there
in a second. But first, so

568
00:39:42.440 --> 00:39:44.920
they go to church, which means
they take Brisket back down to the basement.

569
00:39:44.960 --> 00:39:46.400
That's when he gets to talk to
Eddie and Catherine and all those guys.

570
00:39:46.480 --> 00:39:52.079
Yes, Eddie is rightfully so just
ready to pound these motherfuckers. Eddie

571
00:39:52.159 --> 00:39:55.599
is basically in this Yeah, I'm
a pretty chill guy. I don't like

572
00:39:55.679 --> 00:39:59.519
to fight, but if you wrong
me, I will eat your children alive.

573
00:40:00.199 --> 00:40:04.519
So damn. What happens next is
the family comes back from church,

574
00:40:04.559 --> 00:40:06.880
and by this point, you know, they've called for help, nobody's coming.

575
00:40:06.920 --> 00:40:07.519
They see that their back, so
they're like, Okay, well,

576
00:40:07.519 --> 00:40:10.679
I guess we just gotta do what
we gotta do. So the dad comes

577
00:40:10.719 --> 00:40:14.559
back downstairs talking to Bart about the
game that they were watching because they had

578
00:40:14.559 --> 00:40:16.079
to step away. He mentioned this
thing about sneaking out of church and go

579
00:40:16.320 --> 00:40:20.400
listening to the game in the car. Yeah. Yeah, And he says

580
00:40:20.480 --> 00:40:22.159
something along the lines of that,
you know, did mom ever see you

581
00:40:22.280 --> 00:40:23.920
doing that? And he's like,
you know, your mom probably did,

582
00:40:23.960 --> 00:40:28.760
but if she did, she never
said anything. And literally Eddie decides to

583
00:40:29.280 --> 00:40:34.119
call the mom a bitch, which
makes Abe on a dime turn and look

584
00:40:34.159 --> 00:40:37.360
in the most evil thing of what
did you say, and just goes at

585
00:40:37.480 --> 00:40:40.679
him. And they pick him up
and they start chopping his fucking legs off.

586
00:40:40.840 --> 00:40:45.639
Yeah yeah they do, and it's
freaking gruesome. Uh And and they

587
00:40:45.679 --> 00:40:49.559
cut off his legs which they'd already
referenced. This isn't a vengeance thing,

588
00:40:49.760 --> 00:40:52.440
No they are. They want to
prepare legs. Yes, that's what they

589
00:40:52.519 --> 00:40:59.559
want to happen that night. So
they cut off his legs and it's as

590
00:40:59.719 --> 00:41:02.079
all as it would be. Yeah, in real life, it absolutely is,

591
00:41:02.159 --> 00:41:06.800
because not only is it just you
know, multiple times the cleaver's going

592
00:41:06.880 --> 00:41:08.800
down, but the whole time they're
doing it, Abe and Bart are still

593
00:41:08.840 --> 00:41:13.239
having a conversation about basketball and the
fan. They're just talking about whatever is.

594
00:41:13.400 --> 00:41:15.639
It's just cooking, it's just getting
ready to eat. So they get

595
00:41:15.679 --> 00:41:19.199
the legs ready, they take them
upstairs and it's stocking time. And then

596
00:41:19.280 --> 00:41:22.800
that's when Philip. This whole time
has been annoying most of the family,

597
00:41:22.920 --> 00:41:25.119
but specifically Cindy because the ex there. She doesn't want them there, clearly,

598
00:41:25.199 --> 00:41:28.679
why the hell are you here?
Well, and he always has some

599
00:41:28.880 --> 00:41:32.920
annoying reference. He always has some
annoying reference like Henry David Thurrow said,

600
00:41:34.360 --> 00:41:38.920
Mahatma Gandhi always said d And they're
just like but the family they're very nice.

601
00:41:38.960 --> 00:41:42.679
Like earlier, they's like the dad
had said, there's always a place

602
00:41:42.760 --> 00:41:45.960
for you on our table. Although
now that I think about it, could

603
00:41:46.000 --> 00:41:50.679
have been. Could have been.
It totally could have been, because the

604
00:41:50.760 --> 00:41:53.840
next thing that we see is Cindy
has fucking had it and he says one

605
00:41:53.960 --> 00:41:57.960
line too many. And by this
point they're doing the stockings and there's a

606
00:41:58.000 --> 00:42:00.679
thread loose on the stockings, so
she has a huge pay cut the little

607
00:42:00.719 --> 00:42:06.519
thread off. Philip says the wrong
thing, and we watch Cindy unleash on

608
00:42:06.719 --> 00:42:10.079
him with these scissors and just fucking
kill him. She stabs him, She

609
00:42:10.239 --> 00:42:14.000
stabs the fuck out. Yes,
she does, bloods everywhere, and the

610
00:42:14.000 --> 00:42:15.679
whole time the family's watching, not
freaking out again, going back to this

611
00:42:15.719 --> 00:42:19.079
whole thing about how fucked up they
are. And at the very end,

612
00:42:19.159 --> 00:42:21.559
she's like, you know what would
be good for dinner or for dessert?

613
00:42:21.719 --> 00:42:23.760
Mince meat pies. That wasn't her
idea, that was the death or the

614
00:42:23.840 --> 00:42:27.280
death the dad suggested it. Yeah, But then she was like, oh

615
00:42:27.400 --> 00:42:30.079
yeah, And then he's like,
we could use Philip. Philip, yeah,

616
00:42:30.079 --> 00:42:32.800
and he's just laying their dead.
So and Philip knew they were cannibals.

617
00:42:34.079 --> 00:42:37.079
He ate dinner with them, yes, So uh, that goes to

618
00:42:37.159 --> 00:42:40.519
show you that there's an element and
actually that feeds into the religious aspect.

619
00:42:40.679 --> 00:42:44.719
Yeah, if they had been married, I don't think he could be on

620
00:42:44.800 --> 00:42:46.639
the menu. Probably not because then
he'd be in the family. And they

621
00:42:46.719 --> 00:42:52.639
don't hurt people in their family.
And what the only thing that scares me

622
00:42:52.760 --> 00:43:00.920
more than unrepentant monsters is monsters that
have a moral code, but all the

623
00:43:00.000 --> 00:43:04.199
things they're doing fit it. They're
not hypocrites, No, that's true.

624
00:43:04.360 --> 00:43:08.079
That's what makes it scary. Yeah, they're not hypocrites necessarily, they fully

625
00:43:08.280 --> 00:43:13.679
understand why and how they're doing everything, and that makes me want to row.

626
00:43:13.920 --> 00:43:16.280
Yeah, no kidding. So once
Philip is dead and they're deciding that

627
00:43:16.320 --> 00:43:20.760
he's next, so we go back
to the basement and Andy goes and grabs

628
00:43:20.800 --> 00:43:24.280
brisket again. Because the one thing
that just begins so hard to watch his

629
00:43:24.360 --> 00:43:30.079
brisket is tortured. I would say
it's an hour of this eighty minute movie.

630
00:43:30.119 --> 00:43:35.239
He's constantly being tormented. Yeah,
and not just physically but emotionally.

631
00:43:35.760 --> 00:43:38.159
I mean, this motherfucker's telling him
like, no one will miss you,

632
00:43:39.360 --> 00:43:43.480
this is why you're gonna be on
our table and all this stuff. Yeah,

633
00:43:43.679 --> 00:43:49.199
it's it's he's shattering him really as
a person. It's hard to watch,

634
00:43:49.320 --> 00:43:52.599
but then that's what makes the finale
so much more satisfying, which we'll

635
00:43:52.639 --> 00:43:53.920
get to. Yeah, and seriously, if you haven't seen this movie,

636
00:43:53.960 --> 00:43:57.199
you need to watch it because we
are I mean, I know we've been

637
00:43:57.239 --> 00:44:00.280
spoiling a lot, but like spoiler
alert, like we have so much to

638
00:44:00.400 --> 00:44:06.480
talk about that is so excellent.
This movie delivers in every way. Yeah.

639
00:44:07.480 --> 00:44:10.280
But first, so, yeah,
you have to eat your meat before

640
00:44:10.320 --> 00:44:15.079
you can have your pudding. Back
in the basement, they decide that Brisket

641
00:44:15.280 --> 00:44:19.320
is going to be the meal for
Christmas Day, so they are down there

642
00:44:19.400 --> 00:44:22.000
with him, and at this point
we have a fake out happen where Briskett

643
00:44:22.039 --> 00:44:25.559
tries to get away while Philip was
being stabbed, and there's a knock at

644
00:44:25.599 --> 00:44:30.320
the door and they get to the
door. It's a cop. It is

645
00:44:30.360 --> 00:44:32.760
a cop and her name is Denise, And for just a brief second,

646
00:44:32.800 --> 00:44:37.440
we think there's hope until we find
out Nope, that's Bart's girlfriend. Bart's

647
00:44:37.559 --> 00:44:44.320
fiance find out very soon after,
Yes, which means that she's allowed to

648
00:44:44.480 --> 00:44:47.039
know what the family is doing.
And this is a big thing too.

649
00:44:47.400 --> 00:44:52.679
She was aware. Yeah, so
now we're coming up on when she has

650
00:44:52.760 --> 00:44:55.920
to seal the deal by eating a
piece of human meat. Flash And naturally,

651
00:44:57.639 --> 00:45:00.679
with you have such a delicate family, you want to protect it.

652
00:45:00.719 --> 00:45:04.599
And that's what Andy is doing in
regards to his anger immediately when he finds

653
00:45:04.639 --> 00:45:07.199
out that Philip or that Bart has
brought an outsider into the family, a

654
00:45:07.280 --> 00:45:10.000
girlfriend, but he didn't even know
exists. He didn't even know exist,

655
00:45:10.079 --> 00:45:14.440
and I love clear that he's like
not involved with the family very much.

656
00:45:14.480 --> 00:45:15.000
Bart's like, you know, well, if you were here more, you'd

657
00:45:15.039 --> 00:45:21.960
probably know about it. So do
you even? Movie will be right back,

658
00:45:29.480 --> 00:45:37.480
welcome back to do You Even?
Movie? We meet Denise Bart's Bart's

659
00:45:37.519 --> 00:45:40.559
fiance, and she wholly embraces the
family like they love him. No,

660
00:45:40.719 --> 00:45:45.079
she's pretty trepidacious. Trepidacious verst still
that first bite until that first bite,

661
00:45:45.199 --> 00:45:49.960
yes, so, which is which
is honestly heartbreaking. Yeah, they've prepared

662
00:45:50.000 --> 00:45:52.480
the legs. She's sitting at the
table and by this point Bart and Andy

663
00:45:52.559 --> 00:45:54.960
have both had it out a little
bit. So it's a little tension around

664
00:45:55.000 --> 00:45:58.440
the table. Yeah, which is
hilarious too, by the way, the

665
00:45:58.599 --> 00:46:01.880
tension in this family totally normal family
tension. Yeah, because literally when he

666
00:46:01.880 --> 00:46:04.960
says, like you let an outsider
in here. He's like, well,

667
00:46:05.000 --> 00:46:07.199
if you were around the family more, maybe you'd know about her. It's

668
00:46:07.280 --> 00:46:12.639
like, that's just normal family bullshit. Yeah, I love this. So

669
00:46:13.199 --> 00:46:17.639
she is basically given the first bite. So they have this disgusting looking cooked

670
00:46:17.719 --> 00:46:21.280
leg on the table. So Eddie's
leg has been cooked, it's served on

671
00:46:21.320 --> 00:46:22.639
the table. He goes in,
cuts a chunk off, puts it on

672
00:46:22.760 --> 00:46:25.679
her plate, and basically says,
this is the bite that's going to solidify

673
00:46:25.719 --> 00:46:29.440
you into the family. Yeah,
and it's it's a big build up.

674
00:46:29.559 --> 00:46:32.840
There's lots of suspense she does.
She is like uneasy, but she's in

675
00:46:32.960 --> 00:46:37.719
it. Yeah. And then and
then she takes that fucking bite. And

676
00:46:37.000 --> 00:46:40.280
the more as we're talking about,
the more I'm realizing how much it bothers

677
00:46:40.320 --> 00:46:45.480
me, because it's that moment of
total perversion. Yeah, that moment where

678
00:46:45.000 --> 00:46:47.840
she's not going back anymore. Uh
huh. And there are a lot of

679
00:46:47.920 --> 00:46:51.719
theories, you know, not to
go all the way back to the Wendy

680
00:46:51.800 --> 00:46:54.079
Go again and stuff, but there
are a lot of cultures that believe that

681
00:46:54.239 --> 00:46:59.559
once you eat human flesh, you
become different. Yeah, like that's a

682
00:46:59.800 --> 00:47:05.199
very very common thing in a lot
of human societies. Is this belief that

683
00:47:05.280 --> 00:47:09.559
once you eat flesh, you just
become another And in this film that is

684
00:47:09.639 --> 00:47:15.679
expressed because the moment she choose on
that, her facial expression changes to joy.

685
00:47:15.320 --> 00:47:19.440
And then all she has to say
is how good it is? Yep,

686
00:47:19.719 --> 00:47:22.599
to the cook, who is how
she I think? She says like,

687
00:47:22.679 --> 00:47:24.280
it's so rich rich. It's like, how did you make this so

688
00:47:24.519 --> 00:47:28.960
rich? And they go, by
the way, it's butter, You stupid

689
00:47:29.039 --> 00:47:31.239
bitch, learn how to cook.
Whenever people are like, wow, this

690
00:47:31.440 --> 00:47:35.039
is so good, it's like,
hey, it's called butter, it's called

691
00:47:35.079 --> 00:47:37.840
garlic. Shut up anyway. So
by this point, Denise has been welcome

692
00:47:37.880 --> 00:47:40.119
into the family, but Andy still
has issue with it. And at one

693
00:47:40.159 --> 00:47:44.320
point he actually grabs a steak knife
on the table, and we don't know

694
00:47:44.440 --> 00:47:46.920
what he's gonna do. He starts
leaning toward her, and then the dad

695
00:47:47.360 --> 00:47:50.760
puts his hand on him and says, why don't you and I have a

696
00:47:50.840 --> 00:47:54.519
talk outside? And they're drinking Scotch, smoking cigars, and he his dad.

697
00:47:54.840 --> 00:48:00.880
They're smoking cigars to celebrate that.
He because right before that we got

698
00:48:00.920 --> 00:48:04.719
a little ahead. But there's so
much to talk about this movie because he

699
00:48:04.800 --> 00:48:07.119
had just the knife thing he leaned
in. That was right after he had

700
00:48:07.159 --> 00:48:09.519
said, like, I proposed to
her and she said yes because I guess

701
00:48:09.559 --> 00:48:13.400
like a week earlier he had taken
her on a trip and proposed to her.

702
00:48:13.519 --> 00:48:15.840
Yep. So now they're in the
back and they're drinking Scotch and the

703
00:48:15.920 --> 00:48:20.079
brothers brought out cigars to celebrate,
and he's like, I got him from

704
00:48:20.119 --> 00:48:23.360
the gas station. But it's tradition, you know, and so Andy takes

705
00:48:23.440 --> 00:48:27.719
like reluctantly and ends up breaking it
because he's still not going for this.

706
00:48:28.239 --> 00:48:30.360
And then back down in the basement, now bart and Denise are down there

707
00:48:30.400 --> 00:48:34.840
with Brisket and he's just patting him
with an electric knife, pointing out the

708
00:48:34.920 --> 00:48:37.079
points of cut on him. Yea, how he's gonna be served. And

709
00:48:37.199 --> 00:48:39.559
then he's like, you know,
we should probably tendrize him a little bit,

710
00:48:39.599 --> 00:48:44.599
and so he takes the fucking electric
knife and cuts into his shoulder and

711
00:48:44.719 --> 00:48:47.119
Briskett is just standing there crying in
pain. Meanwhile, you know, Eddie

712
00:48:47.519 --> 00:48:51.199
is still alive at this point,
which is kind of a surprise, but

713
00:48:51.440 --> 00:48:55.039
Catherine has tried to defend him and
she ends up getting the wrath of Denise,

714
00:48:55.079 --> 00:48:58.119
which is where we see the turning
point for Denise, not just with

715
00:48:58.199 --> 00:49:01.800
the bite, but she goes over
and starts kicking the shit wi unbelievable because

716
00:49:01.840 --> 00:49:05.519
she bites Bart when she's cutting Brit
when he's cutting Brisket, right right,

717
00:49:05.639 --> 00:49:07.840
right. So by this point,
now Brisket has been cut, he's been

718
00:49:07.920 --> 00:49:12.480
tortured, and now him and Catherine
are in the basement alone together because Eddie's

719
00:49:12.519 --> 00:49:15.599
kind of just passed out and that
kind of I mean, it's a shock

720
00:49:15.679 --> 00:49:17.119
that he's alive. Oh yeah,
because they not only do they chop his

721
00:49:17.239 --> 00:49:20.719
legs with the clever, they also
amputate him with an iron because that'll come

722
00:49:20.760 --> 00:49:22.719
back into place. And they caught
herize the wound with an iron, which

723
00:49:22.800 --> 00:49:29.400
is just vicious. This is a
funny movie, yeah, pitch black comedy,

724
00:49:29.519 --> 00:49:31.679
but it's really dark, really dark. So I really love it.

725
00:49:31.880 --> 00:49:35.880
But boy, howdy, Catherine at
this point has completely, you know,

726
00:49:36.079 --> 00:49:37.760
just had it. She's already hated
Christmas, because we kind of forgot to

727
00:49:37.800 --> 00:49:40.440
mention that when they introduce the character, she's all fucked Christmas at the bar

728
00:49:40.559 --> 00:49:45.000
and everything. Yeah, yeah,
she's very negative on Christmas, and uh,

729
00:49:46.239 --> 00:49:51.400
Brisket tries to basically persuade her that
Christmas is the greatest time. He

730
00:49:51.519 --> 00:49:54.920
goes into this because he goes into
this weird, this weird mindset though where

731
00:49:55.039 --> 00:50:00.079
he's he's explaining like that this is
all wrong because it it's Christmas, so

732
00:50:00.280 --> 00:50:05.239
you shouldn't be hurting us, you
shouldn't be hurting anyone. You're not supposed

733
00:50:05.280 --> 00:50:07.000
to do this at Christmas. This
is supposed to be the time. That's

734
00:50:07.039 --> 00:50:12.199
the thing. It's like he has
a moment where his mind can't comprehend this,

735
00:50:13.079 --> 00:50:15.840
this level of cruelty, let alone, but on Christmas, and to

736
00:50:16.079 --> 00:50:22.800
celebrate Christmas by harming people is just
it short, It short circuits him for

737
00:50:22.840 --> 00:50:25.639
a second. And of course her
response is fuck Christmas. Christmas is dead.

738
00:50:25.719 --> 00:50:29.039
The Christmas is dead, which is
and the way she says it that

739
00:50:29.159 --> 00:50:31.840
actor Christmas is so dead. So
good. Yeah, no, she is

740
00:50:31.920 --> 00:50:37.440
phenomenal. So he he is just
distraught, destroyed now and she's like,

741
00:50:37.559 --> 00:50:42.760
hey, who's the rudest range,
the rudest reindeer. She she sees that

742
00:50:43.079 --> 00:50:47.880
this hope and belief that Christmas is
wonderful is all he has, so she

743
00:50:49.000 --> 00:50:52.159
tells a joke. So she says, yeah, who's the who's the reindeer

744
00:50:52.199 --> 00:50:57.280
with the worst man who's the reindeer
with the worst manners? Rude, rude

745
00:50:57.559 --> 00:51:02.039
all and he chuckle and she chuckles. Yeah, And at that moment,

746
00:51:04.000 --> 00:51:07.480
if they die, a part of
us will too. Yeah, exactly,

747
00:51:07.880 --> 00:51:12.159
because that's such I know, I
know, I'm like losing my mind,

748
00:51:12.199 --> 00:51:16.679
but it's such excellent storytelling. Yeah, not even good storytelling, excellent storytelling.

749
00:51:16.800 --> 00:51:22.559
Yeah. And it hit me right
in the goddamn heart and to hit

750
00:51:22.639 --> 00:51:25.800
it even harder. So by this
point, the family has basically done their

751
00:51:25.880 --> 00:51:30.239
initial Christmas Eve dinner. Everything's you
know, getting torn down. Denise goes

752
00:51:30.280 --> 00:51:32.000
to leave and Bart tells her that
she can stay the night, and she

753
00:51:32.119 --> 00:51:35.599
says she should stay the night,
and she's like, I don't think you're

754
00:51:35.760 --> 00:51:37.440
well. At first, she makes
an excuse about work, and then she

755
00:51:37.480 --> 00:51:39.760
says, I don't think your brother
would like that. Yeah, And he's

756
00:51:39.800 --> 00:51:44.280
like, let me handhandle that.
So the family goes to bed, except

757
00:51:44.360 --> 00:51:47.320
for Andy, who goes back down
to the basement gets brisket and I shit

758
00:51:47.440 --> 00:51:51.440
you not when I say that,
he is shocking this poor guy. While

759
00:51:51.559 --> 00:51:55.159
carolers are singing outside a Beautiful Soul. It's an incredible juxtaposition. Yeah,

760
00:51:55.360 --> 00:51:58.880
and this movie's full of those.
Yeah. Yeah. And we're just hearing

761
00:51:58.960 --> 00:52:01.679
the electric we're seeing the lights flicker
and just you know, it's just he's

762
00:52:01.760 --> 00:52:07.400
drinking eggnog with whiskey and just pounding
on Brisket to get this work done.

763
00:52:07.599 --> 00:52:09.480
And they start to hint that one
thing the family likes as they're whiskey,

764
00:52:09.519 --> 00:52:16.679
because that eggnog is pretty thin on
egg and very heavy on So Christmas morning

765
00:52:16.760 --> 00:52:22.320
comes, it's the this is this
is it, guys, this is this

766
00:52:22.480 --> 00:52:24.360
is the finale we've all been waiting
for. So Yeah. And and I

767
00:52:24.480 --> 00:52:29.360
want to point out that one little
thing we glossed over because there is,

768
00:52:29.440 --> 00:52:32.920
like A said, there's so much
in this movie that's great is Brisket.

769
00:52:34.199 --> 00:52:37.079
He tormented Brisket to the point of
breaking to finish the work. And when

770
00:52:37.119 --> 00:52:44.320
Briskett was like, no, because
the actress down there in the I don't

771
00:52:44.320 --> 00:52:46.840
need the name of the sorry,
just the character Catherine is before he comes

772
00:52:46.880 --> 00:52:50.039
down there, She's like, don't
do whatever he wants you to do.

773
00:52:50.280 --> 00:52:52.679
Don't do it, which is how
I would feel too. I'd be like,

774
00:52:52.039 --> 00:52:55.760
I know we're not gonna live.
I wouldn't do it either. So

775
00:52:55.840 --> 00:53:00.559
when he comes down and Brisket's like, I won't do it, he's he

776
00:53:00.639 --> 00:53:04.519
does. He does the evil thing
that evil people do in real life,

777
00:53:04.599 --> 00:53:08.880
which is when a person will resist
hurts someone else. Yes, because if

778
00:53:08.920 --> 00:53:14.239
you have a real heart and soul, which these people do not, then

779
00:53:14.639 --> 00:53:19.039
you can't handle to see someone else
suffer. So he starts kicking the hell

780
00:53:19.079 --> 00:53:22.880
out of her, and she's already
been beaten to near death multiple times,

781
00:53:22.679 --> 00:53:27.039
and then he starts strangling her.
Yes, and he tells Brisket like,

782
00:53:27.119 --> 00:53:29.320
she's gonna die right now if you
don't do it, so he agrees to

783
00:53:29.400 --> 00:53:32.960
it. So he's been electrocuting Brisket
non stop, tormenting him, tormenting her,

784
00:53:34.239 --> 00:53:37.280
And at one point before we get
to the big finale, he was

785
00:53:37.320 --> 00:53:39.480
even sitting there as Brisket was working
and just shocking him and drinking eggnog for

786
00:53:39.559 --> 00:53:44.360
the fuck of it. Brisket's not
even rest he's resisting. He's not even

787
00:53:44.400 --> 00:53:51.000
resisting anymore. He's not even like, I cannot overstate this is not played

788
00:53:51.039 --> 00:53:57.239
for laughs. It's done so well
that all you want in the world is

789
00:53:57.320 --> 00:54:00.039
for Brisket to be okay, is
to get out of this and also what

790
00:54:00.119 --> 00:54:02.880
we want to mention the guy in
the basement who lost his legs Eddie.

791
00:54:04.480 --> 00:54:07.320
There's a point when Eddie's back to
life and they've tied his hands up where

792
00:54:07.400 --> 00:54:12.039
I mean, he's just he's full
of anger, he's full of raid because

793
00:54:12.039 --> 00:54:15.599
there's a part where they're down there
as he's like coming to and they're like,

794
00:54:15.239 --> 00:54:17.360
if only your mother had been here
to blah blah blah, and he

795
00:54:17.480 --> 00:54:21.079
just lifts his head up and goes, I bet she was a fucking bitch,

796
00:54:21.280 --> 00:54:23.039
and they just beat the hell out
of him. But like, this

797
00:54:23.199 --> 00:54:27.000
movie left an impact on me.
I apologize. I feel like I'm interrupting

798
00:54:27.039 --> 00:54:30.360
you with David, but I love
this movie and I think that what they

799
00:54:30.440 --> 00:54:35.559
did with this movie is very special. Yeah, but also the worst part

800
00:54:35.679 --> 00:54:39.960
of me is so satisfied by what's
coming. So go on, David,

801
00:54:40.159 --> 00:54:53.400
take the wheel. Do You Even? Movie will be right back. Welcome

802
00:54:53.519 --> 00:55:00.280
back to Do You Even? Movie? All right? So Christmas morning,

803
00:55:00.360 --> 00:55:05.360
Brisket wakes up and he sees that
Eddie is chopping at his restraints with the

804
00:55:05.400 --> 00:55:07.840
broken Christmas ornaments that they've kicked down
earlier in the movie. He gets free

805
00:55:08.119 --> 00:55:13.400
and then we see that Briskett has
now Eddie tied to his back with Christmas

806
00:55:13.480 --> 00:55:16.159
lights, so they are back to
back and they can carry him. Yeah,

807
00:55:16.280 --> 00:55:20.199
they are going to break out.
They are going to the get free

808
00:55:20.480 --> 00:55:23.039
because our friend down there, she
is in no shape to leave, so

809
00:55:23.119 --> 00:55:27.559
they have to go get help.
Yeah, so they decide to put Eddie

810
00:55:27.599 --> 00:55:30.480
on his back and they start crawling
and that's when we see the Denise has

811
00:55:30.480 --> 00:55:31.880
woken up. She's getting ready for
work, and that's the Copple that we

812
00:55:31.920 --> 00:55:35.320
found out. She was a dispatcher
by the way, but still let's still

813
00:55:35.320 --> 00:55:37.639
a police officer, but it's different. So they come out of the basement.

814
00:55:37.719 --> 00:55:40.519
They're crawling around and they're hiding from
both Cindy and Denise because they have

815
00:55:40.599 --> 00:55:45.639
a discussion about how you know,
oh, another Hallmark like discussion about like,

816
00:55:45.719 --> 00:55:47.639
well, next year I'll be able
to help officially, and she's like

817
00:55:47.880 --> 00:55:53.119
I really like that, yeah,
and I Dave was laughing because Dave knows

818
00:55:53.239 --> 00:55:57.039
me, so he knows that I
have this weird thing where when somebody is

819
00:55:57.159 --> 00:56:00.480
unbelievably cruel, I get unbelievably cruel
about up their character. And since I

820
00:56:00.599 --> 00:56:04.159
know where the movie's going, when
she's like next Christmas, you know,

821
00:56:04.199 --> 00:56:07.559
I look forward to that. I'm
like, yeah about next Christmas. I'm

822
00:56:07.639 --> 00:56:09.480
like as bad as Eddie because Eddie's
just sitting there like because he's in the

823
00:56:09.599 --> 00:56:14.159
captain on his back and he has
the irons and he's just like over the

824
00:56:14.440 --> 00:56:16.440
door, over the fucking like he's
just gonna he's like ready to bring because

825
00:56:16.679 --> 00:56:20.400
we get the fake out at one
point because while Cindy, while Cindy and

826
00:56:20.760 --> 00:56:22.840
and Denise are talking, she's like, I can't find the messing cuff.

827
00:56:22.880 --> 00:56:24.840
Can you check the cupboard that's where
Brisket and Eddie are hiding at the cupboard,

828
00:56:24.880 --> 00:56:28.000
and Eddie is, yeah, he's
like just fucking open the door,

829
00:56:28.079 --> 00:56:30.840
open the door. And then she
finds the something to open the door.

830
00:56:30.000 --> 00:56:35.320
So then she pantry. Yeh,
pantry. So then Denise gets ready to

831
00:56:35.320 --> 00:56:37.239
go to work. By this point, Eddie and Brisket have snuff pass and

832
00:56:37.280 --> 00:56:39.440
I think they are out. Yeah
they are out. Yeah, they make

833
00:56:39.440 --> 00:56:42.719
it outside without him and he seeing. So Denise goes to your car.

834
00:56:42.880 --> 00:56:44.599
She gets a call on her phone. It's the bar and he's like,

835
00:56:44.639 --> 00:56:45.400
you know, hey, you know, I just wanted to say Mary Christmas,

836
00:56:45.440 --> 00:56:47.000
have a good day. And she's
like, I'll be back later,

837
00:56:47.320 --> 00:56:51.599
hangs up the phone, and then
Eddie just from the back seats, they

838
00:56:51.719 --> 00:56:57.960
just pop up Eddie, Eddie,
no cute, no silly, no,

839
00:56:58.159 --> 00:57:00.239
beats her to death, beats her
to death like and then some beats her

840
00:57:00.280 --> 00:57:04.000
to death, breaks her teeth with
the iron, breaks her phone, keeps

841
00:57:04.079 --> 00:57:06.679
hitting her like she's dead by the
first two, like three hits, and

842
00:57:06.760 --> 00:57:09.880
he's still going. And here's an
example of why the storytelling in this movie

843
00:57:10.000 --> 00:57:15.599
is is top notch. He's hitting
her and he's screaming and I mean he's

844
00:57:15.639 --> 00:57:20.199
screaming that that human like foam is
coming out of his mouth. Yeah,

845
00:57:20.239 --> 00:57:25.320
he's drooling on himself because he's so
primarily has to kill these people. Yeah,

846
00:57:27.039 --> 00:57:30.360
And as he's hitting her, he
breaks the key out of the ignition,

847
00:57:30.679 --> 00:57:34.000
which makes the car undrivable. And
then as he's beating on her,

848
00:57:34.039 --> 00:57:37.599
when when risk gets like, he
says, she's not fighting, she's not

849
00:57:37.719 --> 00:57:42.159
fighting, and he keeps hitting her. Then he bashes her phone without thinking

850
00:57:42.239 --> 00:57:45.840
yeah, because he's so unbelievably angry. And that is how you, without

851
00:57:45.920 --> 00:57:51.960
being cheap, set up what's about
to happen next. So they realize that

852
00:57:52.000 --> 00:57:54.519
since the car is undrivable, and
also Brisket has a flashback to Catherine and

853
00:57:54.559 --> 00:57:58.079
he's like, we have to go
back for her, we have to save

854
00:57:58.159 --> 00:58:01.519
her. So they go up to
the house and by this point everybody's waking

855
00:58:01.639 --> 00:58:06.000
up in the house, and the
first one up is Granny, who's talking

856
00:58:06.199 --> 00:58:08.920
to Cindy. But then Bart's angry
about something and Andy's trying to go get

857
00:58:08.960 --> 00:58:12.599
his work done with Brisket, so
they run into each other smashes eggs against

858
00:58:12.599 --> 00:58:14.920
her. She's frustrated in Granny.
He's like, I'll go get the door,

859
00:58:15.440 --> 00:58:16.679
opens the door, and Eddie,
as you heard in the trailer in

860
00:58:16.719 --> 00:58:21.639
the beginning of the episode, goes
Merry Christmas, bitch and serves that iron

861
00:58:21.960 --> 00:58:27.119
right into her face in the most
satisfying hit of the movie. I mean,

862
00:58:27.719 --> 00:58:32.440
it was so good. So from
that point on we are into Battle

863
00:58:32.519 --> 00:58:37.400
Royale because Granny hits the ground.
Now Andy's down to the basement, sees

864
00:58:37.440 --> 00:58:40.400
that Brisket is Eddie. You're both
gone. He's running up and outside Bart

865
00:58:40.480 --> 00:58:45.639
has found the cigars that Andy discarded
and he's pissed. Now too, here's

866
00:58:45.719 --> 00:58:52.079
Andy scream and now Brisky because he
realizes he's escaped, but doesn't realize that

867
00:58:52.199 --> 00:58:54.679
they've already off two family members with
a third right on the way. And

868
00:58:54.760 --> 00:58:58.599
we need to point out too that
Brisket, before going into the house,

869
00:58:58.760 --> 00:59:01.000
took down a hanging basket and yeah
there was a basket. There was a

870
00:59:01.079 --> 00:59:06.679
basket of point Settas. That's what
I'm talking about. Like Christmas is used

871
00:59:06.880 --> 00:59:09.400
to the fullist extent in this movie. It is not just a backdrop.

872
00:59:09.559 --> 00:59:14.599
It is all about Christmas. So
there is a hanging hook for a h

873
00:59:14.880 --> 00:59:17.679
for plants, and it's full of
point settas Christmas flowers. He takes the

874
00:59:17.679 --> 00:59:21.679
point sett Is out drops them and
the thing shatters and pulls the hook out

875
00:59:21.679 --> 00:59:24.480
of the ground because it is time
to f some mother f is in the

876
00:59:24.519 --> 00:59:30.239
a's So the first one besides first
one after Granny follows in with the abe.

877
00:59:30.320 --> 00:59:31.159
He comes out and he's like,
well, what's going on, and

878
00:59:31.800 --> 00:59:35.800
poor Briskets like, I'm so sorry
about it. He says, I'm sorry

879
00:59:35.880 --> 00:59:37.480
to the grandma and then he says
I'm sorry and he clocks him the head.

880
00:59:38.119 --> 00:59:43.079
But this is where again why the
movie's next level. Yeah this is

881
00:59:43.400 --> 00:59:45.719
and I'm sorry, I keep stealing
all the good stuff from you. I

882
00:59:45.360 --> 00:59:50.719
love this movie. I do you
really really do? As he's hitting him

883
00:59:51.559 --> 00:59:53.719
and saying I'm sorry, I'm sorry
in the news, he's like, I'm

884
00:59:53.800 --> 00:59:59.000
not sorry, I'm not sorry,
and I'm not stupid. I have friends

885
00:59:59.159 --> 01:00:04.400
and I'm not somebody would miss me. It's it's it's it's a turning points

886
01:00:04.519 --> 01:00:10.239
character for his character. Yes,
entirely. Oh so Abe gets it.

887
01:00:10.480 --> 01:00:14.079
He gets thrown into the Christmas tree. Christmas tree comes down, kind of

888
01:00:14.119 --> 01:00:15.280
been paling him on a couple of
the ornaments too. By this point,

889
01:00:15.320 --> 01:00:20.639
now Cindy has found out what's going
on, but Catherine has also escaped from

890
01:00:20.679 --> 01:00:23.840
the basement and Catherine lays into that
bitch like it's going out of style.

891
01:00:24.039 --> 01:00:28.039
Yeah. So Bart's got a cleaver. He's going at Eddie and keep in

892
01:00:28.119 --> 01:00:30.920
mind, tied back to back still, so they're both fighting, Eddie on

893
01:00:30.639 --> 01:00:35.920
his back and punching, yeah,
and then us fighting Andy getting punched and

894
01:00:35.960 --> 01:00:37.960
the big guys on the other side
punching. Yeah. It's just it is

895
01:00:38.599 --> 01:00:44.239
mayhem. It's like total total mayhem, super awesome. But super Scary gets

896
01:00:44.280 --> 01:00:46.360
the cleaver away from Bart and he's
like, unplugged me. So they unplug

897
01:00:46.480 --> 01:00:50.559
him. Now Eddie is completely free
and Brisket is just wailing on Andy and

898
01:00:50.679 --> 01:00:52.679
he's telling him, you know,
like like Enriquez said, I have friends

899
01:00:52.760 --> 01:00:55.480
and fuck you and all this stuff. He's just letting out all of the

900
01:00:55.599 --> 01:01:00.960
things that he's been told by Andy
and by anyone else's ever been a fucking

901
01:01:00.039 --> 01:01:04.119
prick to him. Yeah, and
it's beautiful, It absolutely is. And

902
01:01:04.199 --> 01:01:07.199
at one point it's really beautiful.
Eddie gets uh, he gets free of

903
01:01:07.280 --> 01:01:09.400
Bart, but Bart unfortunately gets the
upper hand on him with the Cleaver kills

904
01:01:09.519 --> 01:01:13.280
Eddie. So we lose Eddie.
So before we i mean, it is

905
01:01:13.440 --> 01:01:16.519
left ambiguous, but probably kills Eddie. So by this point then Catherine has

906
01:01:16.599 --> 01:01:21.599
now beaten Cindy in the kitchen with
a rolling pin. Yeah. They have

907
01:01:21.679 --> 01:01:24.280
a really excellent fight scene that's very
I mean, like it's none of this

908
01:01:24.400 --> 01:01:29.280
has done Portland. And she ends
up holding her face down in a file

909
01:01:29.400 --> 01:01:32.760
and a pile of flour for making
usually for making cross cookies, it's the

910
01:01:32.800 --> 01:01:37.239
cookie powder a bat it probably is, yeah, but usually when you make

911
01:01:37.280 --> 01:01:39.719
that thing, you're making dough.
Yeah, dough's making the dough for feats.

912
01:01:39.760 --> 01:01:43.760
Yeah, So she pushes her face
into the hole in the in the

913
01:01:43.960 --> 01:01:46.480
flower for the dough for the eggs
to go in and breaks her head with

914
01:01:46.639 --> 01:01:53.679
a rolling pin, so she dies
in this pile of flour. Poetic satisfying.

915
01:01:54.280 --> 01:01:59.480
So now by this point Bart has
been stabbed by Catherine, so Bart's

916
01:01:59.480 --> 01:02:01.159
out of the picture. So it
is literally just Brisket and Andy, and

917
01:02:01.840 --> 01:02:06.679
Briskett has wrapped the Christmas cords around
the Christmas lights around his neck. He's

918
01:02:06.800 --> 01:02:09.199
choking him. Andy gets the upper
hand at some point, but then Catherine

919
01:02:09.239 --> 01:02:14.400
turns on the switch and now Andy
is being shocked exactly like he's been doing

920
01:02:14.440 --> 01:02:16.599
to Brisket. The entire foll he
gets be fuck electrocuted out of him,

921
01:02:16.679 --> 01:02:22.800
and Brisket, in a moment of
triumph, grabs the bowl of eggnog and

922
01:02:22.920 --> 01:02:27.920
says, mister Robillard, I quit
and chucks it with the liquid, setting

923
01:02:28.000 --> 01:02:31.840
Andy on fire while the lights are
going off because they like a lot more

924
01:02:31.960 --> 01:02:35.639
nog than they do. Egg in
there and see if they set it all

925
01:02:35.760 --> 01:02:37.840
up. Yes, he did such
a good job. And then another reason

926
01:02:37.920 --> 01:02:43.239
this is a big deal for Brisket. They established multiple times that Brisket really

927
01:02:43.360 --> 01:02:45.920
has nothing else to live for but
work and is terrified of losing his job.

928
01:02:46.000 --> 01:02:49.920
Yeah, there's a part where he's
literally making an argument when he's half

929
01:02:50.000 --> 01:02:52.639
conscious in the basement about he's like
before one ke, I get thirty six

930
01:02:52.760 --> 01:02:59.280
days a year vacation. It is
if you've ever had a job you hate

931
01:02:59.360 --> 01:03:06.320
it. It is very, very
powerful the way he's like defending subconsciously a

932
01:03:06.480 --> 01:03:09.159
job that is literally literally killing it. Yeah, Like he is going to

933
01:03:09.239 --> 01:03:13.320
die because of this. So I
just wanted to mention that real quick,

934
01:03:13.320 --> 01:03:16.079
because that's another amazing moment. So
when he says I quit, it's actually

935
01:03:16.159 --> 01:03:21.239
kind of bigger than killing it,
and so yeah, so then he's on

936
01:03:21.360 --> 01:03:24.840
fire and as the greatest monster of
the film, his head melt His head

937
01:03:24.960 --> 01:03:29.320
does melt in, yeah, like
full blown melts. So he carried brisket,

938
01:03:29.400 --> 01:03:31.639
grabs Catherine, carries her out the
door, and he's looking up at

939
01:03:31.679 --> 01:03:36.159
the sky and you know that they're
they're out there, they're celebrating, And

940
01:03:36.239 --> 01:03:37.199
he looks up at the sky and
he's like, I don't think it's gonna

941
01:03:37.199 --> 01:03:42.519
be a white Christmas. And Catherine
goes, we're in southern California. She

942
01:03:42.599 --> 01:03:45.920
says it in a nice way.
She's like, southern California and Brisket's like,

943
01:03:46.000 --> 01:03:47.880
I know, I was just hoping. And then she looks back at

944
01:03:47.920 --> 01:03:53.400
him and says Merry Christmas, which
is which is oh gosh, tears,

945
01:03:53.960 --> 01:03:58.639
which is Brisket's character. Yeah that
She's like, well, it's you know,

946
01:03:58.719 --> 01:04:00.000
it's southern California. He's like,
I know, I just hope hoped,

947
01:04:00.079 --> 01:04:06.599
because that's him because even at the
beginning of the film, when he

948
01:04:06.760 --> 01:04:10.960
has nobody who seems to care about
him, nobody's going to come to his

949
01:04:11.079 --> 01:04:16.199
Christmas party, nothing, he's still
all smiles, yeah, and Merry Christmas,

950
01:04:16.480 --> 01:04:19.239
and I hope you have a great
Christmas, and you know, and

951
01:04:19.400 --> 01:04:28.400
and and so that moment, to
me, it's it's it's what it said

952
01:04:28.440 --> 01:04:30.480
to me. And you can tell
me if you think this is right or

953
01:04:30.519 --> 01:04:34.280
not. What it said to me
is that the good part of him didn't

954
01:04:34.480 --> 01:04:40.280
die when he changed. I agree, because a part of him did die

955
01:04:40.840 --> 01:04:44.119
and it needed to, yes,
But the good part of him, the

956
01:04:44.280 --> 01:04:46.920
thing about him that makes him him
still there. Well. And I think

957
01:04:46.960 --> 01:04:51.199
also too, with him getting through
to Catherine, it's just it's a beautiful

958
01:04:51.400 --> 01:04:55.400
shared moment. Yeah, yeah,
because she's like loving on Christmas. Yeah,

959
01:04:55.760 --> 01:04:58.920
and uh, just no, you
know if you ever wanted to know,

960
01:04:59.000 --> 01:05:00.840
Hey, what kind of guy are
you? Like? Really, I

961
01:05:00.960 --> 01:05:05.679
am tearing up over the end of
Mercy Christmas, a twenty seventeen Christmas horror

962
01:05:05.679 --> 01:05:10.440
movie about cannibalism. Yes, because
it was that damn good Yes. And

963
01:05:10.559 --> 01:05:14.079
the final shot we get is you
know that she said Merry Christmas and they've

964
01:05:14.119 --> 01:05:16.039
shared their moment and then all of
a sudden, whoa hold on, Okay,

965
01:05:16.159 --> 01:05:18.760
you missed one thing. Though it's
really great. As they're sharing that

966
01:05:18.840 --> 01:05:21.639
moment, they do the shot from
straight up us yes, yes, yes,

967
01:05:21.840 --> 01:05:26.360
and then it gets closer straight above
yeah, and then it cuts back

968
01:05:26.360 --> 01:05:30.800
to bottom level. There are Christmas
carolers standing there and shot, oh my

969
01:05:30.920 --> 01:05:34.519
god, and they're like, please
call nine one one. You want to

970
01:05:34.519 --> 01:05:38.960
say what she says? She and
she's like, I don't know what's happened.

971
01:05:39.239 --> 01:05:42.599
I want to report out whatever report
I don't know. I don't know

972
01:05:42.679 --> 01:05:45.519
why. There's people bleeding up,
please send please send help. And then

973
01:05:45.599 --> 01:05:49.320
that is the end, my friends, of the twenty seventeen Mercy Christmas,

974
01:05:49.400 --> 01:05:53.679
a film that I cannot recommend enough
you watch that is so good. I

975
01:05:53.760 --> 01:05:58.599
mean, the final thoughts with it
is while it's a very dark holiday horror

976
01:05:58.599 --> 01:06:01.880
comedy. Mercy Christmas just offers quick
run time, simple story, but characters

977
01:06:01.960 --> 01:06:06.079
that you just latch onto and then
once they get their come up and it's

978
01:06:06.159 --> 01:06:11.119
just so satisfying. But also just
the spirit of Christmas that still survives.

979
01:06:11.280 --> 01:06:14.440
Is a great character arc for Brisket. I mean, Briskett's one of the

980
01:06:14.440 --> 01:06:16.599
best characters I've seen in a movie
ever. I'm not even not just an

981
01:06:16.639 --> 01:06:19.880
indie movie. So it's just a
phenomenal character. He absolutely is, And

982
01:06:19.960 --> 01:06:24.280
I mean it's it's one of those
movies that the bond that him and Catherine

983
01:06:24.320 --> 01:06:27.840
form really rack up the hero factor
for him, and it's it's the best

984
01:06:28.000 --> 01:06:30.400
happy ending that you could get for
a movie like this, which is what

985
01:06:30.440 --> 01:06:32.119
we said at the beginning, isn't
common with these movies. Well, and

986
01:06:32.199 --> 01:06:35.480
what I picked up on when he
was beating Andy, you know, before

987
01:06:35.480 --> 01:06:39.039
he killed him. Yeah, he
even said like, I have friends,

988
01:06:39.119 --> 01:06:42.719
and I think he was referring to
Eddie and her. I think that's what

989
01:06:42.800 --> 01:06:45.320
he was saying, because because they
all bonded down in the basement talking about

990
01:06:45.320 --> 01:06:51.119
their lives and stuff and fuck yeah, yeah, no, I cannot this.

991
01:06:51.480 --> 01:06:55.880
This to me is a rent it. You can find it streaming readily

992
01:06:55.960 --> 01:06:59.760
available right now. Yeah. But
if it's one of those that you you

993
01:06:59.840 --> 01:07:01.400
know, haven't put offer, it's
like you don't have access to whatever it

994
01:07:01.480 --> 01:07:03.920
is. If you rent this,
you're going to have a good time with

995
01:07:04.000 --> 01:07:06.880
this. Yes, it's it's so
much fun. Yeah, I mean while

996
01:07:06.880 --> 01:07:11.079
it's dark, like I said,
it's just the payoff at that finale is

997
01:07:11.239 --> 01:07:15.000
so well earned. It's so satisfying
after the hell you have to go through

998
01:07:15.079 --> 01:07:17.079
to get there. It absolutely is. So do you have any final thoughts?

999
01:07:18.079 --> 01:07:21.000
I mean, I feel like I've
raved about this movie so heart to

1000
01:07:21.119 --> 01:07:25.440
lee throughout the whole show that you
probably already know my opinion. Yes,

1001
01:07:25.599 --> 01:07:29.519
absolutely so are we gonna do our? I'm gonna do my recommendation. I've

1002
01:07:29.599 --> 01:07:32.800
changed it since we started because I
just horror comedy falling into this. I

1003
01:07:33.079 --> 01:07:36.280
have a love and I know Enriquez
too, of the nineteen ninety film Rabbit

1004
01:07:36.400 --> 01:07:41.719
ninety ninety nine film Ravenous, which
is Guy Pierce and Robert Carlyle where they

1005
01:07:41.800 --> 01:07:45.159
are in a remote military outpost and
it turns out that there may or may

1006
01:07:45.199 --> 01:07:48.000
not be a win to go that's
infiltrated the fort well of sorts. Yeah,

1007
01:07:48.199 --> 01:07:51.000
they don't really say when toy Go
do that. They say it Windigo

1008
01:07:51.000 --> 01:07:54.719
will legends mentioned heavily. Okay,
I mean I knew that that was what

1009
01:07:54.760 --> 01:07:57.400
they were referencing. Yeah, so
that's that's your recommendation. I'll pull.

1010
01:07:57.440 --> 01:07:59.159
I'll put the other one in there, just because it's a Chris movie.

1011
01:07:59.199 --> 01:08:03.480
If you want a their bonkers and
pretty I would say enjoyable Christmas movie Christmas

1012
01:08:03.480 --> 01:08:06.880
Buddy Christmas Joebego's film that came out
last year, twenty twenty two. Christmas.

1013
01:08:06.920 --> 01:08:10.559
Even toy just wants to get drunken
party, but when a robotic Santa

1014
01:08:10.559 --> 01:08:15.039
Claus at a nearby toy store goes
haywire and begins a rampage killing spree through

1015
01:08:15.079 --> 01:08:17.760
her small town, she's forced into
battle for survival. And that's the reason

1016
01:08:17.880 --> 01:08:23.840
that I think that's a good recommendation
to watch is because it is a Christmas

1017
01:08:23.920 --> 01:08:28.279
movie. It's all about Christmas.
It's got some very legitimate characters, but

1018
01:08:28.399 --> 01:08:31.439
it's also bonkers, pretty damn satisfying. And also, just if you're not

1019
01:08:31.520 --> 01:08:33.359
a fan of the word fuck,
you may want to skip that one.

1020
01:08:33.439 --> 01:08:35.880
Yeah, that's a fair point.
And as far as I want to point

1021
01:08:35.920 --> 01:08:40.359
out, so between stream it,
rented or buy it. Yeah, I

1022
01:08:40.399 --> 01:08:43.880
would say buy it if you're a
horror movie fan. Okay, stream it

1023
01:08:43.920 --> 01:08:46.079
if you're just kind of a horror
movie fan, because you probably won't want

1024
01:08:46.119 --> 01:08:49.359
to watch it again and again because
it is really heavy. Yes, there

1025
01:08:49.399 --> 01:08:51.680
are some movies that I love,
but you got to earn it yet to

1026
01:08:51.680 --> 01:08:56.439
earn it, And and you know
I don't put on funny games every other

1027
01:08:56.520 --> 01:08:59.119
week. You know, I put
on funny games every so often when I

1028
01:08:59.760 --> 01:09:03.399
at this point, really when I
have to do a podcast. Yeah,

1029
01:09:04.039 --> 01:09:09.199
So that is it for Mercy Christmas
twenty seventeen, directed by Ryan Nelson and

1030
01:09:09.319 --> 01:09:12.880
Ryan if you are listening watching this, please reach out to us. We

1032
01:09:15.439 --> 01:09:17.239

movie because I just I really think that

1034
01:09:20.159 --> 01:09:24.680
this is an underrated gym that more
really need to find, especially this time

01:09:24.680 --> 01:09:29.520
of year. Yeah. I agree. Mercy Christmas absolutely positively a must watch

or even if you just like watching something

1037
01:09:33.840 --> 01:09:38.000

it around because I really love this
movie. Yeah. And also, you

know he was a good friend because he

01:10:03.319 --> 01:10:06.119
was a buddy. He was working
with me on the show and just like
