The Menu (2022) Anya Taylor-Joy, Nicholas Hoult, and Ralph Fiennes
Henrique and David take their seats at Hawthorn for The Menu (2022), Mark Mylod’s blackly comic horror thriller about fine dining, class and creative obsession. Anya Taylor-Joy plays Margot, an unexpected guest accompanying Nicholas Hoult’s devoted foodie Tyler to an exclusive island restaurant. Ralph Fiennes is chef Julian Slowik, whose meticulously arranged courses reveal that the evening’s wealthy diners have entered something far more dangerous than a tasting menu.
Seth Reiss and Will Tracy’s screenplay turns each course into character evidence. A critic dissects every emulsion, affluent regulars barely remember what they ate, technology executives invoke their employer’s power and a fading actor plans a disposable food-travel show. Hong Chau’s Elsa enforces Hawthorn’s rules while Slowik decides whether Margot belongs with the servers or the served. The hosts explore how the restaurant’s ritual, architecture and disciplined kitchen create a closed world built around status and control.
The conversation follows the breadless bread plate, personalized tortillas, a doomed escape attempt and Tyler’s humiliating turn at the stove. Henrique and David emphasize that Tyler consumes culinary knowledge without understanding the generosity required to make food for another person. Margot finally identifies Slowik’s deepest failure: his dishes come from obsession rather than love. Her request for a simple cheeseburger returns him, briefly, to the joyful cook pictured at Hamburger Howie’s.
Both hosts remember seeing the film together in a theater and finding more layers on a revisit. They connect Margot’s work, Slowik’s service and the diners’ entitlement to a broader theme: people who buy an experience can still treat its makers as invisible. Their discussion of the final s’mores course, Margot’s takeout request and Slowik’s need to destroy his own kingdom treats the ending as both dark satire and a reclamation of honest pleasure.
Production notes cover Savannah and Jekyll Island locations, real fine-dining consultants and the Chef’s Table-inspired food photography. David gives The Menu a buy-it; Henrique gives it a rent-it while acknowledging its outstanding ensemble and potential to age well. They recommend Bitter Feast and Burnt as companion films about chefs, ambition and corrosive obsession, preserving the original notes’ enthusiasm for the movie’s thematic depth.

your shorn head, my shorn head. Yes, it was a combination of
11
00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:30.719
I hadn't gotten a haircut and you
lost a match against another wrestler against the

Ali was the one who cut my
hair for one Wow, baby needs his
14
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:40.200
bottle. No, it wasn't so
much of that as much as I woke
15
00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:42.280
up this past Sunday and I was
just like, ah, let's just go
16
00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:46.040
ahead and take it all off and
get ready for summer. Please. No,
17
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:51.799
David, Well, you're subjecting the
folks who watch us on the Patreon
18
00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:57.760
and YouTube to the sheen, the
shine, the sad reality have everything.
19
00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:02.879
That's yeah, that's happening here today. But we are talking again this week
20
00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:09.199
about another film that's relatively recent in
this decade. Yes, and take a
21
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:15.319
break from the nineties because we just
well we I mean obviously, due to
22
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:21.319
our age and stuff, we lean
into the nineties for nostalgia hit and we
23
00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:23.639
did kind of notice when we look
back, we were like, oh,
24
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:29.319
we did like six nineties movies in
a row. So we decided to try
25
00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:35.039
and spread our wings and fly,
much like one of the tableaus in our
26
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:42.840
film, Tonight twenty twenty two's the
Menu, And I'm looking forward to talking
27
00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:46.319
about this because this film, I
feel like, before it even came out,
28
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:51.159
it was a very divisive film.
I would agree with that. I
29
00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:53.759
feel like because we were just getting
back to the theaters around this time,
30
00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:58.280
because twenty twenty two is when it
came out. I think the theaters opened
31
00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:01.879
back up like twenty twenty one.
No, they open high opened up at
32
00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:06.000
the end of October of twenty were
totally right. But yeah, I think
33
00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:08.039
this was one that I remember a
lot of people were kind of going back
34
00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:10.199
to the theater for because there was
a lot of buzz about it. I
35
00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:14.560
mean, it's also it is it
is labeled as a horror film. Whether
36
00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:17.479
it is one hundred percent is debatable. I mean, it's definitely in thriller
37
00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:22.280
territory. The reason I don't know
about calling it a horror film is because
38
00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:27.280
it's not really It's got these little
horrific moments. So I feel like,
39
00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:30.319
but then again, if you had
to market it, horror movie would probably
40
00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:32.439
be the way to horror thriller.
Yeah, exactly. And I feel like
41
00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:37.080
the one thing that we have to
say before we even start this movie is
42
00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:39.560
like a like a nice, you
know, spread out dinner course. This
43
00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:44.360
film has layers to it, and
this could also kind of double as an
44
00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:47.000
episode of cutting deep into horror because
and that's a fair point, because Dave,
45
00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:51.039
you did call me, yes when
you wanted to watch this film you
46
00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:53.639
call for the show. You'd called
me at like three in the morning and
47
00:03:53.639 --> 00:04:00.400
you were crying and you were saying, like I just wanted to elevated horror.
48
00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:04.919
And I was like, Dave,
if you really want to talk about
49
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:11.759
elevated horror, we'll talk about elevated
horror. It's not I'll say that.
50
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:15.719
I mean, thank goodness, because
you're on the warpath against not on the
51
00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:20.360
warpath? Are we gonna talk about
this now? This morning? Before we
52
00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:25.399
recorded the show this morning, some
news broke, which may or may not
53
00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:29.079
be true. You didn't see it. What the new update? It's not
54
00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:32.959
canceled, they're retooling it. That
new update is just as as a vague.
55
00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:38.519
Yeah, it's nobody got a twenty
four to comment. Nobody got anybody
56
00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:42.600
to comment properly. So there's a
rumor going around, a big rumor that
57
00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:46.360
A twenty four and Peacock where they
were supposed to make a Camp Crystal Lake
58
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:50.639
series, Jason Vorhey series, and
they now it appears, have pulled the
59
00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:55.279
plug on it. That's according to
some insiders who were unnamed, and then
60
00:04:55.319 --> 00:04:59.560
other unnamed insiders said no, no, they're retooling. But it wouldn't shock
61
00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:03.319
me if it cut, because all
streaming services are cutting. They're cutting a
62
00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:06.759
lot out of their budgets. Yeah, to try and I don't know make
63
00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:12.160
a profit, make a profit.
And I mean I just saw a list
64
00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:15.920
of CEOs of film studios was released
and of the ones that took pay cuts
65
00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:19.879
were Netflix and one other one that
I was very surprised by it took took
66
00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:25.240
massive pay cuts. Oh wow.
So but my point is, Dave was
67
00:05:25.279 --> 00:05:28.600
just like good. I didn't say, good, Okay, do you want
68
00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:30.839
me to pull up the act show? I don't. I can tell you
69
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:33.519
what I go ahead. Literally,
our good friend Rob, who is a
70
00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:36.680
fan of the show, posted the
article and I said, I think I
71
00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:40.519
said, Matt. Basically, it
was like, man, like not not
72
00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:44.800
a loss to me. And what
I meant by that was I just don't
73
00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:47.639
know if A twenty four is a
company that I want messing with Friday thirteenth.
74
00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:50.399
I'm just gonna say that, why
is that, Dave? Because it's
75
00:05:50.439 --> 00:05:55.399
a it's a straight up campy slasher
film. Not campy because it takes place
76
00:05:55.439 --> 00:05:59.279
at a camp obviously, but just
no, that's why it's camping. Yes,
77
00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:01.720
But at the same time, like
I just it feels like it just
78
00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:04.879
does not need to be messed with. I don't know, you mean like
79
00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:11.639
as in, there should be no
show at all. That's tough for me.
80
00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:15.439
I mean, this is mister,
I'm excited for dairy on Max.
81
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:17.839
Welcome to Darry, Yes, welcome
to Darry. I mean I'm excited for
82
00:06:17.879 --> 00:06:21.800
that With A twenty four do it
a Friday thirteen series? My biggest issue
83
00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:27.680
is just I don't know what story
they can tell at this point that may
84
00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:30.160
or may not pull me back into
it. Also, the first Friday teenth
85
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:35.319
Friday the thirteenth series we got was
fine at best. Well it literally had
86
00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:39.759
zero to zero. It's not like
when people talk about Freddy's nightmares and it
87
00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:42.480
had just a little to do with
Freddy. Yeah, I mean the Friday
88
00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:45.480
thirteenth the series had nothing. I
mean did they even have a hockey mask
89
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:46.439
in their store? You know?
See, That's what I'm saying, Like
90
00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:49.920
I had nothing to do with it. I I'm not saying it whether it's
91
00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:55.120
good or bad, but I am
saying that A twenty four is known for
92
00:06:55.199 --> 00:06:58.000
doing interesting things absolutely, And I
mean there's a lot of eight twenty four
93
00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:00.600
films that I like, and there's
something I don't. That's why you cry,
94
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:05.920
My god, It's it's more so
just I don't know if Friday throughteenth
95
00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:09.720
the series is something we need At
this point, I'll just say that what
96
00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:12.480
do we need, Dave? What
does the world need now, David?
97
00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:15.560
A Slaughter High remake, another Crow
series. When you say Slaughter High remake,
98
00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:18.879
you mean a big budget Slaughters like
Platinum, dude. Oh yeah,
99
00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:24.040
oh yeah? And then what was
the other thing? Another Crow series,
100
00:07:24.120 --> 00:07:30.199
another Crow series, another TV Honestly, that would be smarter than a movie.
101
00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:31.800
I'm kind of surprised, to be
honest, I'm not. I mean,
102
00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:35.720
I'm not, but yeah, I
mean, it's it's difficult because I'm
103
00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:41.920
I'm really hoping that movie is good. It's all I'm gonna say. Well,
104
00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:45.920
time will tell and it can't rain
all the time, but Edward for
105
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:49.839
long? But no, no,
that's that's But it was just funny because
106
00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:55.759
you got so uh, you got
caught up and being kind of not Yeah,
107
00:07:55.839 --> 00:07:58.519
no I was. I wasn't.
I wouldn't say I was grumpy about
108
00:07:58.519 --> 00:08:01.519
it, but I would say that
maybe I was grumpy about it, but
109
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:05.040
smidgeon, a smidgeon. I guess
my biggest point with it is so the
110
00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:07.800
first omen we saw and I and
I and I really dug the first Omeen
111
00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:11.920
and that the first film the Oen, but the movie called the First Omen
112
00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:16.319
prequel. Yeah, and I'm trying
to think what the Exorcist Believer I It
113
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:20.120
was fine, it was fine.
I liked some of the things they did,
114
00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:22.199
but I really got the First Omen
was really good. I like,
115
00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:24.879
I love First Omen. No,
that's what I'm saying. I liked.
116
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:28.199
For someone Exorcist believer, it was
OK. It was fine. And that's
117
00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:31.879
why I'm just kind of like with
some of these prequel requel sequels, I'm
118
00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:35.120
I'm mid on right now. Well, everything that's old is new again,
119
00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:41.919
including being almost entirely a market full
of remakes, which is basically that was
120
00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:45.080
the landscape when I was a teenager. Yeah, so, well, you
121
00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:48.080
wouldn't know you were you were you
were. It was the tail end of
122
00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:52.840
that remake craze. I mean,
do you like I remember so so by
123
00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:56.399
two thousand and one, two thousand
and two, the average horror fan would
124
00:08:56.840 --> 00:09:01.200
say, I am just so sick
of these remakes. Yeah, all the
125
00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:05.279
time. It was a very common
sentiment, to the point where when of
126
00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:09.360
all things, like when Adam Green's
Hatchet finally got made, yeah, they
127
00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:13.840
were literally celebrating that it was and
it was not that it was a non
128
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:18.360
remake in theaters, and Green used
to always say that when he was trying
129
00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:20.039
to pitch things that like every students
be like, well, we really would
130
00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:24.879
rather have a remake or whatever,
and I'm like, okay, yeah,
131
00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:28.480
now you know. Meanwhile, now
Hatchet is now into four films for films
132
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:33.279
and damn near being remade. Yes, but that's that's life. But my
133
00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:37.840
point is that was that was the
mentality then and it seems to be the
134
00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:41.399
mentality returning now. It absolutely is, because I mean, when we went
135
00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:43.759
to the theater or or was this
one I had to see Themummy? I
136
00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:46.399
can't remember basically when I went to
the theater recently, and I think it
137
00:09:46.399 --> 00:09:48.759
was when I went to the retro
screening of The Mummy recently, the nineteen
138
00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:52.960
eighty nine it was like they had
oh god, I'm trying to remember what
139
00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:56.159
the trailers were, but it was
all remakes and sequels and then there was
140
00:09:56.200 --> 00:10:00.480
like one original movie mixed in.
So like even with the trailer we're seeing
141
00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:03.360
in theaters now, it's a lot
of uh, you know, the next
142
00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:07.879
installments coming of this, or this
requels coming or this legacy sequels coming.
143
00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:11.679
But at the same time, I
mean when I just did an episode of
144
00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:15.320
one of my other shows. I
did Monthly Spooky a week or so ago.
145
00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:20.480
It dawned on me I had seen
I believe it was six horror films
146
00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:24.840
in the theater in a month,
and of those I think two were remakes.
147
00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:28.679
Okay, because I saw, of
course the first omen Yeah, Immaculate,
148
00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:33.240
which is not a remake or anything. I saw a Sting Yep,
149
00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:39.039
I saw Late Night with the Devil, I saw Arcadian, and then I
150
00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:46.080
saw The Abigail, So actually only
one of those was a remake. Yeah.
151
00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:48.799
So I mean, I'm just saying
like, at least in the horror
152
00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:52.360
space, it doesn't seem like it's
as a wash with remakes as it was
153
00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:54.039
in the two thousand it was no
And I'll say and the one thing that
154
00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:58.679
I will say in SPA in spite
of all this is I don't have a
155
00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:03.360
problem with new content coming out because
it doesn't diminish anything of the original as
156
00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:07.960
long as you're a true horror fan, which is up to It's like I
157
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:13.679
remember, I remember, Hen has
known me for a long time, so
158
00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:16.240
he knows he has instances where Salty
Dave as he calls it, has made
159
00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:20.679
an appearance yes, and Pure Salty
Dave. I remember Pure Salty Dave was
160
00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:28.039
out in full force when Suspiria got
remade. Oh yeah yeah. And then
161
00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:30.759
you were like, actually, it's
not so bad. And I sat down
162
00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:33.000
and watched it, and it when
I was done watching it, my my
163
00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:37.000
Blu ray wasn't broken in half.
I didn't put it in and the picture
164
00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:41.399
was all pixelated. So you were
disappointed destroy the original? No, that
165
00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:43.320
was my point was it didn't destroy
the original. So I mean with a
166
00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:48.000
Friday thirteenth series, Fredy my god, Friday thirteenth series coming from Peacock and
167
00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:52.960
A twenty four, I would absolutely
watch it. It's just finding out the
168
00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:56.200
news of it getting canceled, possibly
getting canceled, which it probably didn't.
169
00:11:56.399 --> 00:11:58.159
It was more so it was just
like, eh, okay, like it.
170
00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:01.960
It's not it's something I'm chopping at
the bit for. But I'll watch
171
00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:03.360
it. I'll still watch it.
Oh you know, you'd watch it like
172
00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:07.799
the little consumer who you are,
and you you know it. You know
173
00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:11.879
you didn't say I love if it
was like only six or eight episodes,
174
00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:16.240
bro, you'd be like, bro, Saturday, you want to just do
175
00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:18.919
it? Oh yeah, fuck,
get a chicken. That's literally the kind
176
00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:22.159
of text that Dave and I exchanged, by the way, and maybe maybe
177
00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:24.559
that's honestly what I kind of miss
too, is that I feel like with
178
00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:26.639
such an oversaturated market because like you
know, great example is like I'm watching
179
00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:30.360
Fargo now and you've been telling me
to watch to catch up on Fargo for
180
00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:33.120
a couple of years now, Yeah, easily, And it's with the saturated
181
00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:37.639
market, it feels like there's there's
never a there's never a shortage of anything
182
00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:39.159
to watch. So with that in
mind of a series, it's like,
183
00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:43.840
yeah, I'll definitely get to it, but it's a matter of when and
184
00:12:43.159 --> 00:12:46.919
how quick and how quickly I'll go
through it. For that matter, did
185
00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:50.399
you hear marvel Is saying they're going
to commit to two to three films and
186
00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:54.440
two series a year. Damn,
that's such a massive scale back. It's
187
00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:58.799
a cutdown, Yeah, an incredible
scale back. Yeah, because what they
188
00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:01.840
were averaging like what four a year? I think it was six six,
189
00:13:03.399 --> 00:13:07.000
but they had like nine series come
out like over the course of one year,
190
00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:09.000
with something ridiculous like that. That's
not an exact number, but it's
191
00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:13.320
close. Yeah, So I get
what you're saying, I mean in the
192
00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:16.919
oversaturated market is a challenge. I
just started watching well, I just finished
193
00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:24.200
watching the the the mini series sequel
of Justified City Primeval, which was perfectly
194
00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:28.399
fine ended in a way that kind
of pissed me off. Damn it.
195
00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:33.039
But I mean because I now I'm
like, well, it kind of makes
196
00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:35.559
you think there's gonna be more,
but there shouldn't be. They said there
197
00:13:35.559 --> 00:13:41.080
wouldn't. Yeah, but I and
now I'm watching Fallout. But I do
198
00:13:41.159 --> 00:13:43.440
have trouble keeping up with all the
shows. Yeah, I do too,
199
00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:46.639
And I mean that's that's why it's
taken me several years the back on Fargo,
200
00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:48.639
because when Fargo premiered, I loved
that first season, and I watched
201
00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:52.080
the second season like about a year
or so after that. I want to
202
00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:54.720
say, that's usually how that worked. No, No, let me shut
203
00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:56.919
up. You know what I mean. But yeah, I just fell off
204
00:13:56.919 --> 00:13:58.240
of it. And it's because I'm
just I'm bad at TV. So it's
205
00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:03.519
like with with Ah announcing that it's
possibly getting canceled. It's like it sucks,
206
00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:05.440
but at the same time, like
it's no lost meetings. I call
207
00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:11.039
bullshit. What you're bad at TV? Yet, Lifetime is television that doesn't
208
00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:15.679
count. Oh so now you're gonna
piss where you eat. That doesn't count.
209
00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:18.120
You're gonna piss where you eat.
But Lifetime, I love those Lifetime.
210
00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:22.000
Yeah, I'll tear through them like
I will watch six and one sitting
211
00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:26.080
sometimes, but god, the sitting
is on the toilet. Damn it.
212
00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:28.679
You got me there, Okay,
I know I got you. Hey,
213
00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:31.039
I mean, I'm bad at My
job is to keep you on it.
214
00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:35.759
I'm bad at other TV. I
guess you're you know, I mean,
215
00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:37.720
I don't know. I think a
part of it is that you're just bad.
216
00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:43.519
Bad at six, bad at six. That's the first Holliston reference we've
217
00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:46.279
had here on the show for episodes. Yeah, I mean it's only a
218
00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:50.000
like fourteen year old show. Uh
but no, no, no, I
219
00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:56.240
I get it. There is so
much content to consume. It's it's challenging
220
00:14:56.279 --> 00:15:00.679
sometimes. Yeah, sometimes it feels
like you have to consume it. And
221
00:15:00.679 --> 00:15:03.279
that's like one of the things that
I've kind of had hit me with this
222
00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:09.600
over abundance of sequels remakes stuff like
that, where it's like, you know,
223
00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:11.360
one week it's Indiana Jones, the
next week it's another marvel thing.
224
00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:13.519
The next week, it's another Disney
thing, and then it's this and that
225
00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:16.559
that. It used to be.
I did feel not to sound like Jerry
226
00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:20.159
Seinfeld, but it used to be
I did feel like if I didn't go
227
00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:22.960
see them, I was missing out
on a cultural element. And I get
228
00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:24.600
that. I don't feel that at
all. I don't either. Now.
229
00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:28.080
I'm like, I I just want
to see as many movies in the theater
230
00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:30.200
as I can. That look fun. Well, it's like, you know,
231
00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:33.200
going back to the whole thing of
you know, the original days of
232
00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:35.000
the first streaming, like Warns of
the New Black. I was talking to
233
00:15:35.039 --> 00:15:37.399
somebody about this the other day.
I was one of those people that when
234
00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:41.200
season two dropped, I was watching
it at three thirty in the morning when
235
00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:46.519
we got it originally released over here, because you've got time. I don't
236
00:15:46.559 --> 00:15:50.240
have any show like that anymore that'll
pull me that quick. It feels like,
237
00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:54.039
really, I really don't except for
I mean, god damn it,
238
00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:58.440
what below Deck is currently the only
thing that I'm watching as a premiere.
239
00:15:58.600 --> 00:16:03.799
Dave likes garbage reality shows more than
work made by hard working people. That's
240
00:16:03.840 --> 00:16:07.080
it. Dave's like, look,
I want my horror elevated and my television
241
00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:11.440
below deck. You know, that's
the only thing that I'm watching is it
242
00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:14.919
premieres right now that I can think
of at least. But that's not to
243
00:16:14.919 --> 00:16:18.039
say that like I'm trying to catch
back up on stuff, because I did
244
00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:22.919
feel like I've missed out on Fargo
especially and City Prime Evils Won and Mayans
245
00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:26.080
Mayans Them is what I want to
start watching the Amazon Prime show and The
246
00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:29.600
Boys is coming. So I mean, well, you've watched The Boys up
247
00:16:29.679 --> 00:16:30.679
until now, haven't you. Oh
yeah, I'm all caught up. Yeah,
248
00:16:30.679 --> 00:16:33.759
oh of course you watched. I've
watched the entire series that's available right
249
00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:37.200
now twice. So anyway, all
of this to say Dave is a bad
250
00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:42.759
person and we should all shun him. I will absolutely watch the pre through
251
00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:47.240
the series if it happens. If
it doesn't happen, I'm not gonna cry
252
00:16:47.240 --> 00:16:49.120
about it. You just hope it
doesn't happen. It's not that I'm moving
253
00:16:49.159 --> 00:16:56.120
on. Is that what we're doing? Do you even? Movie? Will
254
00:16:56.159 --> 00:17:11.079
be right back? Welcome back to
Do you even movie? It's not the
255
00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:15.200
menu? What is that? It's
a movie? Okay? Well, Dave
256
00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:18.200
give us the poignant deeps. All
right, So we're talking about the menu
257
00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:22.680
in twenty twenty two and it was
one hour and forty seven minutes. RTED
258
00:17:22.839 --> 00:17:29.720
R for strong, disturbing, violent
content, language throughout and some sexual references.
259
00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:33.359
I'm such a child whenever I see
language throughout. Yeah, I always
260
00:17:33.400 --> 00:17:34.920
go oh. I hate movies that
have language. Why do they have to
261
00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:40.640
talk? Those talkie pictures? Silent
film for me? So the director of
262
00:17:40.680 --> 00:17:45.039
this film is Mark Milad. Is
it my let or Meelid? Is it
263
00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:48.039
my lad? Okay? Mark Mylad? He gets his start in nineteen ninety

Movie in two thousand and two Are
You Serious? Series? Does that makes
268
00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:04.640
sense considering the producers come from the
comedy world as well. Shameless the UK

00:18:18.920 --> 00:18:23.319

274

I think it's I think it's streaming
right now. Yeah, I've not heard
286
00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:07.160
of it. I want to say
Netflix are prime I can't remember which.
287
00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:11.960
It's interesting because the producers on two
of them are Will Ferrell and Adam McKay
288
00:19:12.079 --> 00:19:18.880
is correct famous for the Gary Sanchez
Production Company and making comedy Yeah, and
289
00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:23.880
also founding Funnier Die Yeah Funny,
which is which makes sense that we're seeing
290
00:19:23.880 --> 00:19:27.319
a lot of people working in that
realm of comedy. And our other writer
291
00:19:27.440 --> 00:19:30.440
is Will Tracy. He was a
writer on the Onion News Network in twenty
292
00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:34.519

the Internet twenty twelve, Last Week Tonight

with John Oliver twenty fourteen, Succession
twenty nineteen, The Menu twenty twenty two,
294
00:19:38.359 --> 00:19:42.160
and also The Regime in twenty twenty
four went from writing just straight up
295
00:19:42.160 --> 00:19:45.640
comedy to like, really intense stuff
because Succession, I've heard is very good.
296
00:19:45.680 --> 00:19:48.960
That talk about the show, talking
about a show I hear people talk
297
00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:51.960
about I've never seen, Oh you
would love Succession. Oh so Dave's had
298
00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:56.079
time to watch Succession? Everybody,
So why aren't you watching the Mayans?
299
00:19:56.160 --> 00:19:59.119
Is it because they're Mexican as not? Why it's because I'm bad at TV
300
00:19:59.240 --> 00:20:03.519
shows. When they're not Succession,
they're not successional or belowdeck. Apparently moving
301
00:20:03.559 --> 00:20:07.480
on and wrapping us up for the
crew is our cinematographer Peter Deming. He
302
00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:11.559
gets his start as a second assistant

306
00:20:23.279 --> 00:20:26.400
Dead two he goes to Hollywood Shuffle
in nineteen eighty seven. He becomes the
307
00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:30.880
DP on a film called Scarecrows in
nineteen eighty eight. Aircrows, Love that

Tomplin in that famous Clake clip.
I thought there was two of them that
324
00:21:32.279 --> 00:21:34.599
weren't fake. If that's not fake, I don't believe it. I'm pretty
325
00:21:34.599 --> 00:21:37.680
sure it's not. I'm pretty sure
it was meant to get to get attention,
326
00:21:37.880 --> 00:21:41.160
Okay, I mean, I could
be right. I don't buy it.

Heart I have not. I've heard
it's very very It's fantastic. So our

Hmm, unlike David who doesn't own it
408
00:26:42.079 --> 00:26:45.880
in physical Well, I still watch
it. Sad locked this thing four hive
409
00:26:48.079 --> 00:26:52.000
very sad first time watching? What'd
you think? What are you talking about
410
00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:53.960
now? Now? Well, the
first time we saw this was in twenty
411
00:26:55.000 --> 00:26:56.480
twenty two in the theater. Correct, Yeah, we claim. I was
412
00:26:56.519 --> 00:27:00.319
on my second viewing. That's what
I recall. I don't remember seeing it
413
00:27:00.359 --> 00:27:03.160
twice, but it's possible I recall
that you had already seen it. But
414
00:27:03.720 --> 00:27:10.240
I could be misremembering because I remember
I swear that I had an imitation to
415
00:27:10.279 --> 00:27:12.240
go with you guys, but something
had kept me from going, and so
416
00:27:12.319 --> 00:27:15.759
we went over the weekend. Is
how I remember it. I mean,
417
00:27:15.759 --> 00:27:18.440
that could very well have happened.
I only remember going to see it once
418
00:27:18.559 --> 00:27:22.599
with you off the top of my
head. I remembered enjoying it very much.
419
00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:29.880
I did like how layered the story
was. I did like what the
420
00:27:29.880 --> 00:27:36.839
film has to say about the desire
for perfection, what service means, which
421
00:27:36.839 --> 00:27:40.240
I think is a big part of
the film, is what it means to
422
00:27:40.359 --> 00:27:45.440
serve. It doesn't, you know, necessarily mean being a slave. But
423
00:27:45.480 --> 00:27:49.920
if you don't care about service,
then you're not doing the job. I
424
00:27:51.000 --> 00:27:53.400
kind of like that mentality, that
concept in the film. So I remember
425
00:27:53.440 --> 00:27:56.160
walking out of it and thinking like, that's pretty damn good, yeah,
426
00:27:56.640 --> 00:28:03.720
and praying that Anya Taylor Joy's eyes
don't get any bigger for my own safety.
427
00:28:03.039 --> 00:28:07.279
I remember walking out of a theater
and being like that was it met
428
00:28:07.279 --> 00:28:11.960
all my expectations, but also it
kind of went above them, because I
429
00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:14.480
do remember halfway through the film you
were like, oh, this is one
430
00:28:14.519 --> 00:28:18.240
of those and he put a beret
in a scar farm and a very small
431
00:28:18.279 --> 00:28:22.039
tea cups fal tea cup, like
an incredibly tiny tea cup, which you
432
00:28:22.079 --> 00:28:26.400
were which you go, and then
when I go, Dave stopped, You'd
433
00:28:26.400 --> 00:28:29.440
be like the an it makes it
taste You're making me think of that freaking
434
00:28:29.559 --> 00:28:36.279
meme I know again, Yeah,
no, I I was really excited for
435
00:28:36.319 --> 00:28:38.160
this movie. I remember when the
trailer first dropped. I don't think I
436
00:28:38.160 --> 00:28:41.799
saw it in theaters for the first
time. I think I saw it online.
437
00:28:41.200 --> 00:28:44.440
It just it was one of those
movies that's like, this looks really
438
00:28:44.440 --> 00:28:48.319
interesting and I hope it's good.
You were like, hey, a movie
439
00:28:48.319 --> 00:28:52.240
about overpriced food made by people who
hate you. Finally a film about white
440
00:28:52.240 --> 00:28:56.000
experience. Yeah, that's exactly what
it was. How'd you know? But
441
00:28:56.079 --> 00:29:00.200
No, I just remember I was
excited for this movie. I could not
442
00:29:00.279 --> 00:29:03.599
wait for it to because I mean, by this point, I can't remember
443
00:29:03.599 --> 00:29:07.839
if we had really gone back to
the theater much. In we were going
444
00:29:07.880 --> 00:29:11.240
a lot, going a long one. Okay, it's kind of a little
445
00:29:11.240 --> 00:29:14.759
week, but it's it was a
weird time because it was a lot of
446
00:29:15.480 --> 00:29:19.160
older movie movies and small movies that
don't usually go into theaters going into theaters.
447
00:29:19.160 --> 00:29:22.319
That's what we saw a lot of
stuff because the first time I was
448
00:29:22.440 --> 00:29:26.160
back in the theater for a new
release movie was New Mutants. Okay,
449
00:29:26.640 --> 00:29:30.119
because you got to remember in Ohio
they opened the theaters. I want to
450
00:29:30.160 --> 00:29:34.680
say it was either in October or
November of twenty twenty was when the movie
451
00:29:34.680 --> 00:29:41.880
theaters reopened and and I went and
saw the the What was that movie about?
452
00:29:41.880 --> 00:29:45.240
Like the War with Grandpa? Oh? Robert neiramyeh, yeah, yeah,
453
00:29:45.240 --> 00:29:47.279
I think it was called War with
Grandpa Granda. I saw that.
454
00:29:47.599 --> 00:29:49.799
I saw a lot of stuff.
We saw that movie the stairs, remember
455
00:29:49.839 --> 00:29:56.039
that. Yeah, I didn't want
to, but you made me. But
456
00:29:56.160 --> 00:30:00.759
no. The menu was one that
I a media knew that I that I
457
00:30:00.119 --> 00:30:03.319
loved it, and I was excited
to go see it again. So you're
458
00:30:03.319 --> 00:30:06.000
ready to get into this, puppy. What is it now? The menu?
459
00:30:06.200 --> 00:30:08.279
We already have gotten into it.
We started, Oh now we're starting.
460
00:30:08.279 --> 00:30:15.480
We started already breakdown. Do You
Even? Movie? Will be right
461
00:30:15.519 --> 00:30:30.759
back, welcome back to Do You
Even? Movie? So we are invited
462
00:30:30.839 --> 00:30:33.519
to the menu. That's the opening
credit. That's literally the only credit we
463
00:30:33.599 --> 00:30:37.200
get, and that's we meet up
with Margo and Tyler, and Tyler is
464
00:30:37.200 --> 00:30:40.880
scolding Margo for smoking, saying that
it's gonna it's basically gonna deplete her taste,
465
00:30:40.880 --> 00:30:41.440
budg, She's not gonna be able
to taste the food. And we
466
00:30:41.440 --> 00:30:45.680
can tell that Tyler is really really
excited about what they're getting ready to do,
467
00:30:45.960 --> 00:30:48.119
high strung and excited. They're waiting
on a boat, waiting on a
468
00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:52.000
boat to take them to a restaurant
that is twelve fifty ahead, and there's
469
00:30:52.039 --> 00:30:56.799
only I think twelve people in attendance. I think twelve seats in attendance fifty
470
00:30:56.839 --> 00:31:02.000
cents ahead. That's one thousand,
two hundred fifty dollars ahead. Oh yes
471
00:31:02.640 --> 00:31:07.000
to price. No, sorry,
I was thinking Chipotle twenty nineteen, but
472
00:31:07.000 --> 00:31:11.000
you're talking about Chipotle twenty twenty four. Oh yeah, yeah. And that's
473
00:31:11.000 --> 00:31:14.279
when we meet the rest of the
people. There's like three tech bros that
474
00:31:14.319 --> 00:31:17.680
are going. There's a washed up
star play by John Leguizamo who's bringing his
475
00:31:17.680 --> 00:31:21.440
assistant along. There's two regulars that
have been to this restaurant like over ten
476
00:31:21.519 --> 00:31:26.559
times an older. There's a food
critic who takes claim for basically giving Julian
477
00:31:26.599 --> 00:31:30.920
the spotlight. It's a critic and
her publisher publisher yep. And they all
478
00:31:30.960 --> 00:31:34.119
take the boat over to Hawthorne,
enjoying a nice refresher of oysters on the
479
00:31:34.119 --> 00:31:38.960
boat. Yes, and that's the
beginning of it, because what's Anya Tailler
480
00:31:40.000 --> 00:31:44.640
Joy's characters name Margo. Margo points
out that it's delicious, but she just
481
00:31:44.680 --> 00:31:45.880
likes oyster. Yeah she would,
just like she did really care about the
482
00:31:45.960 --> 00:31:52.400
stuff on top of yeah, which
was some reconstituted fluffy, foamy bullshit.
483
00:31:52.599 --> 00:31:57.559
Yeah, yes, raw local oyster
in a mignette emulsion with lemon caviar and
484
00:31:57.599 --> 00:32:01.759
an oyster leaf, oyster leaf,
oyster leaf. I have the whole menu
485
00:32:01.839 --> 00:32:06.440
pulled up, of course you do. But when she says that her date
486
00:32:06.559 --> 00:32:08.160
is very perturbed, like, oh
no, no, no, it's it's
487
00:32:08.200 --> 00:32:10.920
a whole thing. It all comes
together, and then of course it's big.
488
00:32:12.039 --> 00:32:15.160
He's like you, you'll understand it
all when you've eaten all of it
489
00:32:15.400 --> 00:32:17.240
because it tells a story and figure
out what the story of the man.
490
00:32:17.319 --> 00:32:22.640
And that's the beginning of what he
of him talking about how it all comes
491
00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:24.400
together. You have to take each
experience and then try to piece it together.
492
00:32:24.400 --> 00:32:29.119
And that's why he's obsessed with the
work of this this guy is because
493
00:32:29.160 --> 00:32:32.720
to him, he's a master storyteller
as well as a master baiter. Yes,
494
00:32:32.839 --> 00:32:37.880
a master baiter. Indeed. So
we arrive on Hawthorne and we are
495
00:32:37.119 --> 00:32:40.039
we are welcomed with a shot of
this island that I basically told you,
496
00:32:40.119 --> 00:32:44.000
it just feels like all the life
has been sucked out of it. Well,
497
00:32:44.359 --> 00:32:46.839
I mean it looks desolate. Yeah, sure, yeah. So the
498
00:32:46.839 --> 00:32:52.160
guest check in and that's when we
meet Elsa. She is a chef Slovak's
499
00:32:52.359 --> 00:32:58.319
right hand person and frost demon or
whatever she is. Yes, it goes
500
00:32:58.799 --> 00:33:00.680
okay, I'll let it go.
So the guest check in, we meet
501
00:33:00.680 --> 00:33:04.759
Elsa, and that's when we find
out that Tyler originally had another date,
502
00:33:04.960 --> 00:33:07.880
but he has replaced her with Margo
and they were not notified ahead of time.
503
00:33:08.160 --> 00:33:12.440
Well you know, awkward, Yeah, awkward indeed. So she takes
504
00:33:12.440 --> 00:33:15.799
them on a tour of the twelve
acre island of forests and pasture. She
505
00:33:15.920 --> 00:33:19.720
points out a boat that's pissing,
pissing, Wow, well done, picking
506
00:33:19.759 --> 00:33:22.119
fresh scallops out of the water.
And she takes them further on the tour,
507
00:33:22.160 --> 00:33:24.480
shows them their proteins, shows them
the quarters where they all sleep,
508
00:33:24.519 --> 00:33:28.119
and that's when we kind of get
a first taste of how this is an
509
00:33:28.200 --> 00:33:31.960
odd experience because they go into the
chef's quarters and it's just, I mean,
510
00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:36.440
it looks like a prison. Well
yeah, I mean it literally has
511
00:33:36.480 --> 00:33:38.119
a prison, toilet prison, toilet, prison, shower. Well, well,
512
00:33:38.319 --> 00:33:42.559
because prison toilet sinks are a thing. They're at high efficiency. So
513
00:33:42.599 --> 00:33:45.200
it's a sink and a toilet and
there are two of them three feet apart,
514
00:33:45.319 --> 00:33:50.599
which means that they're double occupied.
It gets pretty intimate pretty quickly,
515
00:33:50.680 --> 00:33:53.599
it does, indeed. But no, I mean that's where the staff is,
516
00:33:54.000 --> 00:33:57.359
the shot, not the chef.
Yeah, but that's where the staff
517
00:33:57.400 --> 00:34:00.480
lives. And they live on the
island. They mentioned that they are up
518
00:34:00.519 --> 00:34:04.119
at six a m. And that
final dinner service ends at two. Yeah,
519
00:34:04.160 --> 00:34:07.480
and dinner is four hours long,
and they do six hours of prep
520
00:34:07.519 --> 00:34:10.599
when they start their day. So
she says it would be silly not to
521
00:34:10.639 --> 00:34:14.280
live there, Yes, because of
how much time they dedicate. Well,
522
00:34:14.519 --> 00:34:15.840
and she goes on this whole thing
about how you know they do this,
523
00:34:15.880 --> 00:34:19.920
they do this, they do this, they gel, they gel, And
524
00:34:20.440 --> 00:34:23.199
that's when we the group goes to
enter Hawthorne, and Hawthorne is a restaurant
525
00:34:23.199 --> 00:34:28.039
that is set right on the water. It's a I mean a modernized slanted
526
00:34:28.119 --> 00:34:30.599
roof. Well it's not modern,
you mean postmodern, postmod Yeah. All
527
00:34:30.639 --> 00:34:38.920
the architecture is extremely post Malone post
Malone architecture. So Tyler is losing his
528
00:34:38.960 --> 00:34:44.360
shit over the restaurant and he sees
the chef's cooking the side chefs and goes
529
00:34:44.400 --> 00:34:45.840
up to them. He's like,
okay, you know, we gotta go
530
00:34:45.880 --> 00:34:46.840
see this. So he goes over
and he's he's like, you know,
531
00:34:46.880 --> 00:34:49.719
are you using such and such on
that? And he's like, yeah,
532
00:34:49.719 --> 00:34:51.480
mister so and such. He's like, oh, you know my name and
533
00:34:51.519 --> 00:34:52.800
he's like, we know everybody.
He's like, we like to know everyone,
534
00:34:53.400 --> 00:34:55.559
you know, go ahead and take
your seat. Dinner will begin shortly.
535
00:34:55.679 --> 00:34:59.360
And Margo gives him crap because she's
like, you know, it seems
536
00:34:59.360 --> 00:35:00.320
like he knew you're a but you
didn't ask him his And he's like,
537
00:35:00.400 --> 00:35:06.519
oh yeah, he's didn't ask him
his name. Yeah, tells him to
538
00:35:06.800 --> 00:35:08.920
take a seat, and that's when
Chef slow It comes out and he steals
539
00:35:08.960 --> 00:35:12.760
the room. Everybody's looking at him, especially Tyler, and he he said,
540
00:35:12.760 --> 00:35:15.320
take a seat. I helped Chris
Hansen. U have a seat.
541
00:35:15.360 --> 00:35:16.960
Go ahead, take a seat.
So good news, bad news about this
542
00:35:17.039 --> 00:35:23.639
island. Oh God got him.
That's a screen graph of the episode right
543
00:35:23.679 --> 00:35:29.360
there. My freaking eyes on that. So that's when they introduced their first
544
00:35:29.480 --> 00:35:32.159
dish, which is a mush bush, which is the appetizer. It's compressed
545
00:35:32.159 --> 00:35:38.039
and pickled cucumber, melon, milk, snow, charred lace. Those as
546
00:35:38.239 --> 00:35:42.519
are all words. And we see
the food critic, Lilian making comments on
547
00:35:42.559 --> 00:35:45.199
the tasting that she said that that
they you know, they didn't say what
548
00:35:45.280 --> 00:35:46.800
kind of milk it is, and
she thinks she tastes goat. The assistant
549
00:35:46.800 --> 00:35:50.440
is trying to wish like Wasamo best
of luck. The tech bros Are talking
550
00:35:50.480 --> 00:35:52.960
about life and being dicks, and
Marco asked Tyler about the food and he
551
00:35:53.039 --> 00:35:57.519
states that chef plays with raw materials
of life, adding that his obsession was
552
00:35:57.519 --> 00:36:00.199
slowly, you know, going on
about how he so impressed to his background,
553
00:36:00.239 --> 00:36:02.519
his pedigree and all the stuff.
And Margo's not impressed. No,
554
00:36:02.719 --> 00:36:07.360
she's like being kind of Braddy at
this at this juncture. She's just kind
555
00:36:07.360 --> 00:36:12.159
of like, you really like this
stuff, and it's like, Homie,
556
00:36:12.840 --> 00:36:15.159
of course he does. Why else
would you, well there, well,
557
00:36:15.159 --> 00:36:17.199
there is one other reason to be
there for status, yes, And frankly
558
00:36:17.239 --> 00:36:22.880
I think it's less sad to be
there because you like overpriced food then so
559
00:36:22.960 --> 00:36:24.559
that people will see you in an
Instagram. Yeah, yeah, so you
560
00:36:24.559 --> 00:36:29.480
can put it on the gram.
So then we get to our first course,
561
00:36:29.519 --> 00:36:31.599
and that's when we see slowly tasting
something and he just has no real
562
00:36:31.639 --> 00:36:36.159
passion. And basically the restaurants run
like an assembly line in this sense,
563
00:36:36.199 --> 00:36:39.519
like everybody is doing one thing at
a time, preparing the dishes for everything.
564
00:36:39.599 --> 00:36:45.159
I have to disagree. Okay,
no, it's not an assembly assembly.
565
00:36:45.519 --> 00:36:51.360
It's it's a it is a hyper
efficient kitchen. Sorry, I would
566
00:36:51.440 --> 00:36:55.599
say that they're they're so obsessed with
efficiency and perfection. That's kind of the
567
00:36:55.599 --> 00:36:59.960
whole thing. Well, everyone's on
the same speed. Everybody's doing the basic,
568
00:37:00.199 --> 00:37:01.440
the same thing, prepping at the
same time with these dishes, and
569
00:37:01.480 --> 00:37:05.960
they're all plating in exactly the same
Yeah, yeah they are. But an
570
00:37:05.960 --> 00:37:08.960
assembly line suggests a degree of disconnection. That's fair. Now, everyone in
571
00:37:09.000 --> 00:37:12.840
there is an expert. Yeah,
that is absolutely fair. So the rest
572
00:37:12.880 --> 00:37:15.719
of the chef's plate and they are
plating the island, which is raw diver
573
00:37:15.800 --> 00:37:22.199
scallop, pickled local seaweeds and algae
placed on rocks from the shore. Ms
574
00:37:22.679 --> 00:37:27.199
so Slowik welcomes everybody telling them,
you know, the one thing I want
575
00:37:27.199 --> 00:37:30.000
for you to do tonight is not
to eat. I want you to taste,
576
00:37:30.360 --> 00:37:34.000
savor, relish, consider every morsel, and accept all of it,
577
00:37:34.079 --> 00:37:37.920
and forgive, which I love that
message because on further viewings it's a bit
578
00:37:37.960 --> 00:37:40.280
cryptic. I love that too,
because then I just immediately realized that I'm
579
00:37:40.320 --> 00:37:44.719
just Mason from surviving the game,
Like, yo, you your way,
580
00:37:44.760 --> 00:37:46.400
I'll do it mine, just horking
down food as fast as you can.
581
00:37:46.880 --> 00:37:51.280
So the guests are served and Margo
tries to strike conversation up, but Tyler
582
00:37:51.400 --> 00:37:54.119
is worried that he offended chef Slowick
because at one point he asked him I
583
00:37:54.119 --> 00:37:58.440
can't remember he was slogan was introducing
the dish, and he like interrupts him.
584
00:37:58.440 --> 00:37:59.679
He's like, oh excuse me,
and he's like, oh, no,
585
00:37:59.800 --> 00:38:01.760
shit, go ahead. Yeah,
he wanted to ask something about what
586
00:38:01.800 --> 00:38:05.920
he tasted. It was. So
the food critic is doing her bullshit and
587
00:38:06.039 --> 00:38:08.119
nippicking it, and leg was Amo
is then questioned about what he's going to
588
00:38:08.199 --> 00:38:10.639
do for this food travel show that
he's going to go on. Yeah,
589
00:38:10.679 --> 00:38:15.480
he's clearly playing a washed up actor. We'll get to who he's playing it.
590
00:38:15.599 --> 00:38:17.440
Yeah. Yeah, because leg was
Amo said he kind of based it
591
00:38:17.480 --> 00:38:21.960
on someone he had encountered. Yeah, but he's playing like a washed up
592
00:38:22.000 --> 00:38:25.400
actor who's trying to start a new
part of his career by having a streaming
593
00:38:25.480 --> 00:38:30.360
show about traveling and eating fancy food. Because his assistant ask him, you
594
00:38:30.400 --> 00:38:30.599
know, how is it. He's
like, oh, it's good. She's
595
00:38:30.639 --> 00:38:32.400
like, well, if you're going
to do the show, it can't be
596
00:38:32.440 --> 00:38:36.239
good. It has to be amazing, it has to be great. So
597
00:38:36.280 --> 00:38:38.440
then he pitches this bullshit thing about
how they were going to go to the
598
00:38:38.760 --> 00:38:44.039
hills of El Salvador to Italy and
he'll be on a blue vest bat and
599
00:38:44.079 --> 00:38:45.760
they'll go to where the guy makes
the cheese and he'll go, oh my
600
00:38:45.840 --> 00:38:49.159
god, I'll chew on the cheese. I'll close my eyes, I'll fake
601
00:38:49.159 --> 00:38:51.000
an orgasm, and then boom,
we're in Rio. Oh. And then
602
00:38:51.039 --> 00:38:52.280
he talks about, you know,
how racism's bad. Oh. He's like
603
00:38:52.360 --> 00:38:54.760
him, will be at Rio,
I'll talk about how racism is bad and
604
00:38:54.800 --> 00:39:00.000
everything, and then I'll get an
enemy. Yeah. She's not impressed.
605
00:39:00.119 --> 00:39:01.719
So we get to the second course. Slowik claps his hands and that's what
606
00:39:01.800 --> 00:39:05.280
chef Slog does in this movie every
time to bring attention. When they're starting
607
00:39:05.280 --> 00:39:08.440
the dishes. He just brings his
hands together, the one incredibly loud yeah
608
00:39:08.480 --> 00:39:12.519
clap, and he's introducing the bread
course of the film, but with one
609
00:39:12.599 --> 00:39:15.760
change because he talks about how bread
is, you know, the common man's
610
00:39:15.920 --> 00:39:17.960
meal. It's been around for as
long as anybody can remember, except this
611
00:39:19.039 --> 00:39:22.679
time they're gonna be served a breadplate
that's breadless. Yeah, no bread for
612
00:39:22.760 --> 00:39:27.559
them, but they do get the
akutrama savory savory accouterment. Yeah, so
613
00:39:28.280 --> 00:39:30.920
yeah, nothing to put it on. Yeah, but yeah, So they're
614
00:39:30.920 --> 00:39:35.559
served a breadless breadplate and the guests
are served these dishes with just the accompaniments,
615
00:39:35.559 --> 00:39:37.039
and the food critic points out that
like this is this is wild,
616
00:39:37.079 --> 00:39:39.920
Like this is this is crazy?
Oh I think I have a split emulsion
617
00:39:40.079 --> 00:39:43.719
on the accompaniment, And she's like, well, they shouldn't be serving that.
618
00:39:44.199 --> 00:39:45.400
Tyler, of course, is losing
a shit over the experience, and
619
00:39:45.440 --> 00:39:50.239
Margo states how Slowik is basically insulting
everyone by serving this. Like she's like,
620
00:39:50.280 --> 00:39:52.519
you know, no, I know, I know what insulting is like,
621
00:39:52.559 --> 00:39:54.840
and this is exactly what he's doing. No bread, you don't serve
622
00:39:54.880 --> 00:39:59.360
them not bread. Yeah. So
Margo keeps going on with that, and
623
00:39:59.400 --> 00:40:04.000
then Elsa serves the critic another broken
emulsion courtesy of chef Slowan, except it's
624
00:40:04.039 --> 00:40:07.719
twenty times the size the size of
a cereal bowl instead of a little dot.
625
00:40:07.079 --> 00:40:10.000
It's also mentioned as a side note. The tech bros even mentioned because
626
00:40:10.000 --> 00:40:14.079
they're getting frustrated yet it's you're asking
for bread, yeah, but the reason
627
00:40:14.199 --> 00:40:17.840
is they mentioned that apparently they're famous
for their bread. They're famous for their
628
00:40:17.840 --> 00:40:22.039
bread, famous for their bread,
and they don't serve it because they're not
629
00:40:22.280 --> 00:40:25.960
the common men. No, you're
you all are anything but common. So
630
00:40:27.440 --> 00:40:30.840
they go and ask for bread,
including some gluten free. Elsa refuses and
631
00:40:30.880 --> 00:40:31.639
the tech bros are like, well, don't you know who we are?
632
00:40:31.639 --> 00:40:34.239
And she's like, yeah, I
know exactly you are. And they're like,
633
00:40:34.280 --> 00:40:36.159
are you sure you know who we
are and she's like yeah, and
634
00:40:36.199 --> 00:40:37.199
it's like, so you know we
work for Doug Verick, who owns the
635
00:40:37.239 --> 00:40:40.920
restaurant. And she's like, no, you know, you will eat less
636
00:40:40.920 --> 00:40:44.599
than you desire and more than you
deserve if she whispers that in one of
637
00:40:44.639 --> 00:40:45.800
his ears, yeah, you'll eat
less than new desire, but more than
638
00:40:45.840 --> 00:40:49.760
you deserve. So Margo wants nothing
to do with the plate. Tyler goes
639
00:40:49.800 --> 00:40:52.559
to take it and in doing so, knocks over a wineglass, breaking the
640
00:40:52.559 --> 00:40:55.039
wineglass and drawing attention, and slow
it comes over, asking why Margo hasn't
641
00:40:55.039 --> 00:40:57.800
touched her food, and she's like, you know, I guess I'm just
642
00:40:57.800 --> 00:40:59.639
not really. She said there is
no food. Oh yeah, there is
643
00:40:59.639 --> 00:41:00.400
no food. That was her first
point. Yeah, there is no food.
644
00:41:00.480 --> 00:41:02.199
Yeah, And he's like yeah,
He's like oh no, no,
645
00:41:02.280 --> 00:41:05.199
like there's absolutely food there. And
she's like, well, you know,
646
00:41:05.280 --> 00:41:07.320
I'm saving it for the better courses. I don't want to fill up.
647
00:41:07.360 --> 00:41:08.800
He's like, oh no, no, no, I've painstakingly you know,
648
00:41:09.000 --> 00:41:12.920
playing seeing you out fill up.
You won't fill out now. The portions
649
00:41:12.960 --> 00:41:16.480
are perfect, and he tells her
the menu designed specifically so portions won't overfill
650
00:41:16.519 --> 00:41:20.960
you, and then walks over to
the woman's table that we see just guzzling
651
00:41:21.039 --> 00:41:22.719
wine this entire time that he is
not addressed. Yeah, there's a little
652
00:41:22.760 --> 00:41:27.679
old lady just silently pounding wine.
Yeah. So then we get to the
653
00:41:27.679 --> 00:41:30.719
third course and we see the chef's
preparing the next disc. More wine is
654
00:41:30.719 --> 00:41:35.400
poured and Margo looks over at one
of the regulars who's Richard, and his
655
00:41:35.480 --> 00:41:37.039
wife asked, you know, do
we know her she looks familiar. He's
656
00:41:37.039 --> 00:41:38.199
like, no, no, no, we don't know her. We don't
657
00:41:38.199 --> 00:41:42.599
know her. So then Slowik serves
the next course, explaining a Taco Night
658
00:41:42.639 --> 00:41:46.239
as the next dish. Basically intell
Taco Tuesday Docco When I was a boy,
659
00:41:46.320 --> 00:41:49.960
which I immediately I was like,
I don't care where you grew up.
660
00:41:50.119 --> 00:41:54.440
Man, he's like some kind of
European European but he's some kind of
661
00:41:54.480 --> 00:41:57.719
European. But He's like, we
had Taco Tuesday, and I don't think
662
00:41:57.719 --> 00:42:00.519
it's like nineteen sixty something in the
middle of the country. Yeah, I
663
00:42:00.559 --> 00:42:04.840
mean maybe I grew up with I
grew up with a Mexican stepdad, like,
664
00:42:05.599 --> 00:42:08.400
but tacos were already ubiquitous to the
world because of Taco Bell. But
665
00:42:08.480 --> 00:42:12.480
I always found that funny. I
was like, we're we're like middle we're
666
00:42:12.480 --> 00:42:15.840
like lower class, middle class white
Americans making tacos in like the sixties.
667
00:42:15.880 --> 00:42:19.199
Hoto Tuesday. They might have been. I could just be wrong. I
668
00:42:19.239 --> 00:42:21.119
mean, I was born in eighty
six. What the hell do I know
669
00:42:21.159 --> 00:42:24.000
about anything? Not much. We
never had a Taco Tuesday growing up.
670
00:42:24.800 --> 00:42:28.880
Oh we we didn't. We well, for the record, my family,
671
00:42:28.880 --> 00:42:30.639
we didn't have taco Tuesday either.
Yeah, we had tac taco Monday,
672
00:42:30.760 --> 00:42:37.639
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, but never Tuesday. No
673
00:42:37.000 --> 00:42:42.800
Tuesday was for of course, no
God, But actually we didn't eat tacos
674
00:42:42.800 --> 00:42:45.719
as much as okay, you had
nachos. More. It seems like,
675
00:42:45.039 --> 00:42:47.719
well that was that was a weekend
thing. Oh okay, that was like,
676
00:42:50.239 --> 00:42:52.920
for lack of a better term,
that was when we couldn't afford pizza.
677
00:42:53.719 --> 00:42:58.039
Then it was nachos. We would
have like if we had like friends
678
00:42:58.039 --> 00:43:00.920
coming over or whatever. I mean, I'm very little. We had friends
679
00:43:00.920 --> 00:43:02.760
coming over whatever, they would make
up a bunch of nachos because it was
680
00:43:02.840 --> 00:43:07.480
much cheaper than ordering a bunch of
pizzas. Right now you have you've had
681
00:43:07.480 --> 00:43:10.719
my Yeah, yeah, my nachos
are amazing. And actually that's another reason
682
00:43:10.760 --> 00:43:15.440
I connect with this movie is I
love to cook, and I really love
683
00:43:15.519 --> 00:43:19.480
to make the people eating my food
happy. I don't I don't obsess over
684
00:43:19.519 --> 00:43:23.079
what I think is perfect. I
mean, you do hold a gun on
685
00:43:23.079 --> 00:43:27.760
me half the time. You make
noodles while I'm eating them, but that's
686
00:43:27.800 --> 00:43:30.639
just for fun. I have nothing
to do with the noodles. Are they
687
00:43:30.679 --> 00:43:36.840
good It's like be aware. The
answer may result in things you're not expecting.
688
00:43:36.960 --> 00:43:40.039
They're delicious, but well they'll never
be better. So I have to
689
00:43:40.119 --> 00:43:45.280
end you now. But no,
no, yeah, but so growing up
690
00:43:45.559 --> 00:43:50.400
eating food with a lot of Mexican
and you know, uh inspiration. Yeah.
691
00:43:50.440 --> 00:43:52.079
I mean we just had tortilla on
the table all the time. Every
692
00:43:52.119 --> 00:43:57.079
meal there beat tortilla, and you
could make anything a taco. You would.
693
00:43:57.079 --> 00:44:00.320
We would sit down to breakfast and
instead of toast, you just have
694
00:44:00.360 --> 00:44:01.880
a bunch of tortilla. And if
you were really really hungry, you'd be
695
00:44:01.920 --> 00:44:05.519
like, oh, I'm putting my
eggs and stuff in the tortilla and eating
696
00:44:05.559 --> 00:44:08.119
it instead of instead of just eating
it regularly. It was just always an
697
00:44:08.119 --> 00:44:12.159
option to, you know, add
tortilla you want to make you really really
698
00:44:12.199 --> 00:44:15.599
sad real quick. I mean I'm
already very sad, but go on.
699
00:44:15.719 --> 00:44:17.519
So I remember when I was home
for like the first couple of days of
700
00:44:17.559 --> 00:44:21.199
quarantine, when they had sent us
home from work and we were working from
701
00:44:21.239 --> 00:44:23.760
home. I remember that I had
bought like several TV dinners, one of
702
00:44:23.760 --> 00:44:29.559
which I like, the Stofers spaghetti
and meatballs. It's it's not amazing,
703
00:44:29.559 --> 00:44:35.760
but I like it. It is
a four out of ten on sad So,
704
00:44:36.280 --> 00:44:38.920
oh, dear God, I'm scared. I have do shivers. Now.
705
00:44:38.960 --> 00:44:43.239
There was a segment in the show
I Carly where at one time they
706
00:44:43.280 --> 00:44:47.639
made spaghetti tacos and I had tortillas, and I had lost the will to
707
00:44:47.679 --> 00:44:52.199
live being home alone during quarantine.
So I remember I took my my heated
708
00:44:52.199 --> 00:44:55.559
spaghetti out of the oven or out
of the microwave and took the plastic all
709
00:44:55.559 --> 00:44:59.280
the way off and just took a
tortilla and just dumped it right in there.
710
00:44:59.320 --> 00:45:04.719
And I had a spaghetti taco and
it was magical. I mean,
711
00:45:04.760 --> 00:45:07.920
first of all, it's called piata. Have you ever had a piata?
712
00:45:08.800 --> 00:45:15.119
Yes, it's like it's like Italian
burrito pasta inside. Yes, that is
713
00:45:15.800 --> 00:45:19.639
one of the saddest things I've ever
heard. Yeah, the moral come,
714
00:45:19.679 --> 00:45:23.159
I'm sure, but I mean I'm
sure alcohol wasn't involved. Right, you
715
00:45:23.159 --> 00:45:28.280
were drunk, you don't act like
you were. No, izz I was
716
00:45:28.320 --> 00:45:30.360
not buzz for that one. For
the first one. I was not buzz
717
00:45:30.400 --> 00:45:35.519
for the first You made more than
one spaghetti taco. I like the taste
718
00:45:35.559 --> 00:45:38.800
of it. I had like three
of those TV dinners ready to go.
719
00:45:39.519 --> 00:45:45.440
I think you should make a spaghetti
baked potato, like drill a hole in
720
00:45:45.480 --> 00:45:47.639
the potato and fill it with that. I could probably make a very sad
721
00:45:47.679 --> 00:45:52.039
YouTube chef channel. I feel like
you could have stopped half. I can
722
00:45:52.119 --> 00:45:57.800
make it very sad. I can
make it very sad. Do You Even?
723
00:45:57.920 --> 00:46:10.679
Movie will be right back, welcome
back to Do You Even? Movie?
724
00:46:13.280 --> 00:46:15.519
So, he tells a story about
taco night when he was seven.
725
00:46:15.599 --> 00:46:19.800
His father came home drunk, which
was not uncommon, and his mother and
726
00:46:19.880 --> 00:46:23.239
father fought, and he ended up
his father and getting the phone cord and
727
00:46:23.280 --> 00:46:27.079
wrapping it around his mother's neck.
Sloak, being the kid that he was,
728
00:46:27.159 --> 00:46:29.760
went and reached for the first thing
he saw, which was kitten kitchen
729
00:46:29.760 --> 00:46:32.400
scissors, and stabbed his father in
the thigh, provoking a memory, which
730
00:46:32.400 --> 00:46:37.800
is what he calls this dish memory
which his house smoked brizil chicken thigh ala
731
00:46:37.840 --> 00:46:45.679
pastor with tortilla's maid with Heirloomasa green
Salca cubes. And that's it. Yeah,
732
00:46:45.800 --> 00:46:50.440
simple thing, I suppose, simple
thing. Except these tortillas they're well
733
00:46:50.480 --> 00:46:53.280
known for, but this time they're
very special because they use this new photoprinter.
734
00:46:53.320 --> 00:46:58.440
They have to put images on the
laser engraver, Yes, puts images
735
00:46:58.440 --> 00:47:00.920
on them, and each chicken thigh
is served with a scissor. The scissor
736
00:47:00.920 --> 00:47:07.400
in it stabbed into the thigh a
beautiful touch. Yes. So that's when
737
00:47:07.519 --> 00:47:09.519
we are revealed to see what the
pictures are. And at first we see
738
00:47:09.519 --> 00:47:15.239
that the regulars are served and it's
pictures of Richard being out with different women.
739
00:47:15.920 --> 00:47:20.280
The Lillian and her assistant are served
pictures of restaurants that close because of
740
00:47:20.280 --> 00:47:24.000
her reviews. We also see the
tech bros are served pictures on their tortillas
741
00:47:24.000 --> 00:47:29.199
that show fraud and embezzlement through the
restaurant. Yeah, it's just straight up
742
00:47:29.480 --> 00:47:34.159
photos of financial records, financial statement
where they've been making invoices that aren't real.
743
00:47:34.280 --> 00:47:36.880
Yeah, and Tyler has served pictures
of him taking pictures of the food.
744
00:47:36.880 --> 00:47:37.880
Because that's one thing that Slowic says
that I forgot to mention in the
745
00:47:37.920 --> 00:47:40.880
beginning of the night, is that
they don't any photos, no photos,
746
00:47:40.880 --> 00:47:45.199
and he can't help himself, cannot
help himself. So also confirms what they
747
00:47:45.239 --> 00:47:46.760
are as the tech bros caller over
and she's like, that's a tortilla,
748
00:47:46.880 --> 00:47:51.400
and it goes into the bas that's
my favorite. That's a tortilla. Yeah,
749
00:47:51.480 --> 00:47:54.519
she does the thing tartilla, and
she's like, and this is actually
750
00:47:54.519 --> 00:47:59.639
one showing that you guys have committed
fraud and embezzlement through the restaurant, making
751
00:47:59.679 --> 00:48:05.280
false, false invoices. So yeah, filing paying fake invoices. Yeah,
752
00:48:05.320 --> 00:48:07.199
and so the tech bros Are like, well, how the hell they get
753
00:48:07.199 --> 00:48:08.360
this? It's not good and he's
like, well, they can't show us
754
00:48:08.400 --> 00:48:13.079
this because them showing us this would
convict Doug Verrick, who's the restaurant owner.
755
00:48:13.079 --> 00:48:15.639
We'll get to him later. Yeah. So Tyler scolds Margo for wanting
756
00:48:15.679 --> 00:48:17.320
to send the food back because she's
like, you know, well, they
757
00:48:17.320 --> 00:48:20.639
can't like take your picture without you
know, telling you, so you know,
758
00:48:20.760 --> 00:48:22.679
you take your picture without your consents. So she's like, excuse me,
759
00:48:22.679 --> 00:48:25.440
and he, which is so stupid, he's in the restaurant ahead.
760
00:48:25.440 --> 00:48:29.800
He fucking scolds her like a child. Oh yeah, and she's like,
761
00:48:29.840 --> 00:48:31.239
you know, did you just like
snap at me? That's her date,
762
00:48:31.519 --> 00:48:35.679
her dates scolding her like a child, And that's when she gets up to
763
00:48:35.679 --> 00:48:37.440
go to the bathroom and Elsa stops
her before entering one of the doors.
764
00:48:37.440 --> 00:48:38.920
At the end of the restaurant and
she's like, you know, where's the
765
00:48:38.920 --> 00:48:42.679
bathroom and she shows her the right
door. Margo asked, what's behind this
766
00:48:42.760 --> 00:48:47.239
door and she says something very special. Aw So in the bathroom, Margo
767
00:48:47.280 --> 00:48:51.239
sees a man outside carrying angel wings
towards the water, which we'll get to
768
00:48:51.280 --> 00:48:53.000
in a second as well, and
she lights up another cigarette as chef's slow
769
00:48:53.039 --> 00:48:57.000
It comes in asking why she hasn't
eaten any of the food, and he
770
00:48:57.280 --> 00:48:58.960
she asks, you know, why
do you care? And slow It says
771
00:48:59.000 --> 00:49:01.360
he takes it very cigaret seriously and
this wounds him. He cornered her in
772
00:49:01.440 --> 00:49:06.639
the can. Yeah It comes in
the bathroom and Margo states that she's not
773
00:49:06.719 --> 00:49:12.719
very hungry hungry slowic ass she was
very hungry hunky Slok asked her who who
774
00:49:12.760 --> 00:49:15.360
she is and she says Margo Mills
and born in Grand Island to bratt Or
775
00:49:15.480 --> 00:49:19.519
from Great Island, Nebraska. Sloak
isn't convinced, asking who she really is,
776
00:49:19.559 --> 00:49:22.159
adding she shouldn't be here today,
and Margo tells him to get the
777
00:49:22.159 --> 00:49:24.320
fuck out of her way. Well, I mean, you know, she
778
00:49:24.639 --> 00:49:28.960
was a lot kinder to someone following
her into the can than that would be
779
00:49:29.320 --> 00:49:30.719
so. Then the fourth course is
served and we see the chefs roll out
780
00:49:30.760 --> 00:49:34.920
of white tarp as they begin to
decorate it with garnish, and slowg introduces
781
00:49:34.960 --> 00:49:37.440
the course, but the tech brothers
interrupt him and SLOWK you know. They're
782
00:49:37.480 --> 00:49:38.880
like, you know what's going on, and they're like, you know,
783
00:49:39.119 --> 00:49:44.199
can I please finish my demonstration first, so that he introduces chef Jeremy Loudon,
784
00:49:44.400 --> 00:49:46.320
who created the next dish, called
the Mess, and he explains how
785
00:49:46.360 --> 00:49:50.400
Jeremy wrote him a letter to come
work at Hawthorne, adding that he's talented,
786
00:49:50.519 --> 00:49:53.440
he's good, but he's not great
and he'll never be great. Jeremy
787
00:49:53.440 --> 00:49:58.000
confirms this as Slow continues that the
pressure got to him and that there was
788
00:49:58.039 --> 00:49:59.719
no way for him to avoid the
Mess, no way for him to be
789
00:49:59.719 --> 00:50:01.800
perfect. He asked Jeremy if he
wants his life, and Jeremy states no,
790
00:50:02.159 --> 00:50:06.599
Slokton kisses him on the cheek.
He doesn't. This is a point
791
00:50:06.639 --> 00:50:09.400
that I think is super important.
He asks him, do you want my
792
00:50:09.599 --> 00:50:14.519
life? And he's like, not
my success, not my talent, my
793
00:50:14.800 --> 00:50:16.280
life, what I am and what
I do? Yeah, and he's like
794
00:50:16.400 --> 00:50:22.679
no, no, And I love
that that moment because there is a so
795
00:50:22.840 --> 00:50:27.199
as a as a not to brag, but as a person who's had kind
796
00:50:27.199 --> 00:50:30.559
of sort of their dream job for
almost a decade, yeah, uh,
797
00:50:30.960 --> 00:50:34.320
kind of sort of, because I
mean I could talk for hours about you
798
00:50:34.360 --> 00:50:38.440
know how unpleasant and challenging it has
been just this week. But but you
799
00:50:38.480 --> 00:50:45.400
love what you do. You never
work it down. Your life's just just
800
00:50:45.400 --> 00:50:50.119
just freaking stabbing in your thigh with
the record I do because it's a total
801
00:50:50.159 --> 00:50:53.079
piece of fucking lie continue, it's
a piece of life. So no,
802
00:50:53.199 --> 00:50:58.880
But that being said, there was
a fear when I first started doing what
803
00:50:59.039 --> 00:51:00.920
I was passionate about for a living. I was like, oh my god,
804
00:51:01.039 --> 00:51:06.519
once I get successful enough, what
if I don't like it? Yeah?
805
00:51:06.519 --> 00:51:08.039
What if I get the things I've
always wanted? And then I'm like,
806
00:51:08.039 --> 00:51:10.559
oh, this sucks. And I
still have that fear of renow.
807
00:51:10.559 --> 00:51:14.280
And then because some days that I
make for those who don't know, I
808
00:51:14.320 --> 00:51:17.559
make movies for a living. I
produce and direct and distribute films. And
809
00:51:19.880 --> 00:51:22.320
it's a super hard, super competitive
business. You have to be very creative,
810
00:51:22.320 --> 00:51:27.960
you have to be totally ready for
famine versus feast. Feast is rare,
811
00:51:28.679 --> 00:51:31.159
real rare since COVID H. So
you have to be ready for all
812
00:51:31.199 --> 00:51:38.239
of that. And there are totally
days where I'm like, man, I
813
00:51:38.440 --> 00:51:43.440
was this the right cause? Uh, there's a joke I say to myself
814
00:51:43.480 --> 00:51:45.039
all the time, which is I
should have bought the damn juicers. Have
815
00:51:45.119 --> 00:51:47.639
I told you that story? I
don't want to tell the long story of
816
00:51:47.679 --> 00:51:51.000
it. Maybe some other show I
will, but we've already been yeat John.
817
00:51:51.079 --> 00:51:54.480
But at one point in my life
I had a choice between either going
818
00:51:54.519 --> 00:52:00.079
back to Ohio and trying to keep
doing film, or staying in Jersey and
819
00:52:00.159 --> 00:52:04.360
selling juicers on a boardwalk. I
had. I had access to the boardwalk.
820
00:52:04.639 --> 00:52:07.400
The guy who was running that business
was going to quit. He was
821
00:52:07.440 --> 00:52:09.440
going to sell me all his juicies. And all I had to do was
822
00:52:09.480 --> 00:52:13.199
sell my car and I could buy
the juicies, damn. And then I'd
823
00:52:13.199 --> 00:52:15.000
be living on a boardwalk so I
could walk to work and stuff. And
824
00:52:15.079 --> 00:52:19.760
I really thought about it. Yeah, and I came closer than you might
825
00:52:19.800 --> 00:52:22.400
think to doing it. I believe
it. So sometimes when I'm fed up
826
00:52:22.400 --> 00:52:28.840
with work, or when I'm stuck
fucking redlining a contract for a whole goddamn
827
00:52:28.840 --> 00:52:34.400
afternoon, because because some companies are
so old school, They're like, here's
828
00:52:34.400 --> 00:52:37.840
our forty seven page contract, and
I'm like, I did business with a
829
00:52:37.840 --> 00:52:42.519
bigger company than you last week and
it was eleven pages. Yeah, but
830
00:52:42.559 --> 00:52:45.880
it's just is what it is.
You have to sit there and redline it.
831
00:52:45.199 --> 00:52:49.000
I will like in my head or
sometimes out loud, I'll just go
832
00:52:49.119 --> 00:52:52.000
should have shows the juice users.
So anyway, not being said, I
833
00:52:52.039 --> 00:52:57.559
really identified with Jeremy's plight. Yeah, because it is scary. To want
834
00:52:57.599 --> 00:53:01.440
to be the best is honestly kind
of a damning thing. That's something I'm
835
00:53:01.519 --> 00:53:07.480
very proud that I've never I've never
thought about being the best. I don't
836
00:53:07.519 --> 00:53:09.320
care, you know, Like no, I believe that you have to know
837
00:53:09.400 --> 00:53:14.760
thyself. And I never even as
a little boy, when I had all
838
00:53:14.800 --> 00:53:16.719
the dreams in the world all I've
ever wanted in life. I wanted to
839
00:53:16.760 --> 00:53:21.280
be a pro wrestler and I wanted
to be a movie director. I never
840
00:53:21.440 --> 00:53:23.119
wanted to be the best at either
of those things. I want to do
841
00:53:23.159 --> 00:53:25.960
them. I just wanted to do
them. Granted, maybe some of that
842
00:53:27.000 --> 00:53:30.280
comes from growing up at poverty,
whatever, but I just was like,
843
00:53:30.480 --> 00:53:31.800
man, wouldn't be cool. If
I could do that and not like live
844
00:53:31.840 --> 00:53:36.519
in a crack house, that was
my goal. That's fair. So anyway,
845
00:53:36.800 --> 00:53:40.000
Jeremy said, are you sure that
wasn't a haunted house. I mean
846
00:53:40.119 --> 00:53:45.320
it's both someone in boys. It's
scary in here, welcome to hell.
847
00:53:46.639 --> 00:53:52.599
So Jeremy has handed a gun then
and chef introduces him and the mess,
848
00:53:52.639 --> 00:53:54.440
and Jeremy blows his brains out in
front of everybody, and they put a
849
00:53:54.440 --> 00:53:58.639
tarp up behind him, so it
makes like a nice artistic well they have
850
00:53:58.880 --> 00:54:01.760
a plastic behind but the tarp under
his body and so he'll fall down there
851
00:54:01.760 --> 00:54:06.159
and bleed out. And they had
like decorated with flowers. Then they roll
852
00:54:06.199 --> 00:54:10.800
it up. Everybody's freaking out.
But they're so jaded, and it's like
853
00:54:10.840 --> 00:54:21.079
a combo of the people there are
so jaded but also so fucking spoiled and
854
00:54:21.639 --> 00:54:23.880
entitled, although I don't know if
you can call someone entitled to pay twelve
855
00:54:23.920 --> 00:54:28.679
fifty ahead to go to a restaurant. I mean they paid, but they're
856
00:54:28.760 --> 00:54:34.199
so like jaded and expecting so much
that they're scared for a second, and
857
00:54:34.199 --> 00:54:37.039
then they're immediately like, well,
this has got to be and it's got
858
00:54:37.039 --> 00:54:38.440
to be part of this. Yeah, that Lilian's the first of the food
859
00:54:38.480 --> 00:54:40.079
creek is the first one to say, oh, you know, it's just
860
00:54:40.119 --> 00:54:44.000
theater. They're such good actors and
it's all part of the menu. As
861
00:54:44.039 --> 00:54:47.000
they are served the mess, which
is she became convinced that her and her
862
00:54:47.000 --> 00:54:51.360
friend were the only not actors.
That comes later. Oh okay, sorry,
863
00:54:51.360 --> 00:54:53.519
I just remember that. That is
what she says. The mess,
864
00:54:53.679 --> 00:54:59.960
which is a pressure cooked vegetables of
roasted filet potato. Is it can can
865
00:55:00.119 --> 00:55:05.239
feet or comb feet comfeet your French, you should get this beef beef jewis
866
00:55:05.440 --> 00:55:07.800
and a bone marrow. And then
and then it says rest in peace.
867
00:55:07.880 --> 00:55:13.360
Jeremy Loud. You Dave would try
saying, jo you, oh you heard
868
00:55:13.360 --> 00:55:17.199
that everybody. Dave took a side
on Israel and Palestine. Ah ah ah.
869
00:55:17.440 --> 00:55:21.199
He's like, please stop, please
stop. No one is dining in
870
00:55:21.239 --> 00:55:24.880
it until slow A shouts eat,
and then everybody starts digging into it.
871
00:55:24.880 --> 00:55:28.599
The regulars go to leave, and
Elsa stops them, and she's like,
872
00:55:28.639 --> 00:55:30.320
you know, we're gonna take the
boat out of here, and she's like,
873
00:55:30.320 --> 00:55:30.639
well, there's no boat to leave
on. He's like, well,
874
00:55:30.679 --> 00:55:32.559
then I'll call a helicopter and she's
like, what, it's gonna be hard
875
00:55:32.559 --> 00:55:35.559
with no phone service. And he's
like, don't worry, honey, I'll
876
00:55:35.599 --> 00:55:37.320
handle this. And she's like left
hand or right hand and he's like what
877
00:55:37.400 --> 00:55:39.760
and she's like, which hand will
you handle this with? And she's like,
878
00:55:39.800 --> 00:55:43.719
would you like us to decide?
Right hand ring finger, left hand
879
00:55:43.800 --> 00:55:46.559
or left hand ring finger? So
we see the chef come out and shop
880
00:55:46.760 --> 00:55:52.679
Richard's ring finger right off, and
everybody for chef the chef. Yeah,
881
00:55:52.719 --> 00:55:55.239
and Legazamo admits that he doesn't know
Sloank at this point because that was one
882
00:55:55.239 --> 00:56:01.760
thing too. Yeah, And Lilian
is also convinced that the whole thing is
883
00:56:01.760 --> 00:56:07.239
for their benefit. Now it was
after the finger chops that she's completely like,
884
00:56:07.239 --> 00:56:08.480
oh, they're all actors, because
she turns the lake withs Amo goes
885
00:56:08.880 --> 00:56:12.840
excellent acting and he goes, what
the fuck are you talking about, lady?
886
00:56:12.880 --> 00:56:15.320
I'm my lady. So Chef's Lowick
summons Margaret to the kitchen and he
887
00:56:15.360 --> 00:56:19.239
asked her again who she is,
adding that he served many margos and she
888
00:56:19.360 --> 00:56:22.400
is no Margo. He has that
the menu has been painstakingly planned and he
889
00:56:22.400 --> 00:56:24.000
needs to figure out where to sit
her with them or with the guests,
890
00:56:24.039 --> 00:56:27.079
and Margo says, well, if
I choose right, do I get to
891
00:56:27.079 --> 00:56:29.880
live? And he's like, oh
no, no, everyone's dying. That's
892
00:56:29.920 --> 00:56:32.360
that's how the menus perfected. So
he gives her fifteen minutes to decide before
893
00:56:32.400 --> 00:56:35.760
sending her back to receipt, and
he tells the chefs that he's playing in
894
00:56:35.800 --> 00:56:37.440
five and that he loves them all, and he does so by going I
895
00:56:37.480 --> 00:56:39.880
love you and they go, we
love your too, Chef. Yeah,
896
00:56:39.880 --> 00:56:45.159
it's very romantic, very romantic.
So Margaret returns the table slapping Tyler,
897
00:56:45.760 --> 00:56:47.840
and he's upset because he's thinking that
she got a crash course in the kitchen
898
00:56:47.920 --> 00:56:50.719
or tasted something that he didn't get
the taste. Yeah, and then she
899
00:56:50.760 --> 00:56:55.119
got some kind of a slap vegetable
or protein. He's such a dick.
900
00:56:55.400 --> 00:56:59.239
Oh, he think, yeah,
because he thinks she got us a spy.
901
00:56:59.320 --> 00:57:01.079
What's next? Yeah, yeah,
no. So that's when we're introduced
902
00:57:01.119 --> 00:57:06.320
to the Palate Cleanser, which is
wild Bergamont and Clover team, and Leguizamo
903
00:57:06.360 --> 00:57:08.199
is trying to inspire the Tech brothers
to break to basically, you know,
904
00:57:08.280 --> 00:57:12.320
break a code and go and take
over the kidchen. Well, yeah,
905
00:57:12.559 --> 00:57:15.719
his attitude, which is honestly not
a bad thought. Yeah, I guess
906
00:57:16.159 --> 00:57:20.840
is that there that with him,
there's four able bodied guys. Yeah,
907
00:57:20.880 --> 00:57:22.679
so if they all the moment they
get their silverware, just go for it.
908
00:57:22.800 --> 00:57:25.360
Yeah, maybe they could make a
fight out. Oh and I just
909
00:57:25.400 --> 00:57:29.840
realized I forgot what Leguizamo was served. He was served on his tortilla.
910
00:57:29.960 --> 00:57:32.559
One of his old movies called Calling
Doctor Sunshine. Yeah, Calling Doctor Sunshine,
911
00:57:32.599 --> 00:57:36.239
which comes up more. It was
a bomb from what That's all he
912
00:57:36.280 --> 00:57:37.760
basically says, is that we said. He said it was like a bad
913
00:57:37.840 --> 00:57:42.280
script, great vacation, he said, great experience, experience. Yea,
914
00:57:42.320 --> 00:57:45.760
he said like bad bad script,
bad role or bad script, stupid role,
915
00:57:45.800 --> 00:57:49.000
greater experience. Yeah. So that's
when he tells them, you know,
916
00:57:49.000 --> 00:57:51.079
when we come back, we can
take the knives and we can get
917
00:57:51.119 --> 00:57:52.639
them all, like that's what I
did in this action movie. So the
918
00:57:53.159 --> 00:57:55.800
chef's come back over and that's when
one of the tech brothers goes to try
919
00:57:55.840 --> 00:57:59.840
and break a window with a chair, but the window does not break it
920
00:57:59.880 --> 00:58:01.280
all, and Helson comes over and
she's like, let me help you back
921
00:58:01.280 --> 00:58:06.079
to your table. So Sloak then
explains the palate cleanser and asking if there's
922
00:58:06.079 --> 00:58:08.679
any questions about him or Hawthorne or
tonight's experience, and that's when Lego Zama
923
00:58:08.679 --> 00:58:12.599
asked about the evening and Slowik tells
him that this is all due to their
924
00:58:12.639 --> 00:58:15.320
consequences. They all should know why
they're here, yeah, pointing out how
925
00:58:15.320 --> 00:58:20.079
Lilian's ego was fed when he when
he said her the imitation, and how
926
00:58:20.480 --> 00:58:22.639
she has boosted the egos of others
as well. Regulars. He goes to
927
00:58:22.639 --> 00:58:25.719
ask how many times they've come here? And I asked him if they know
928
00:58:25.760 --> 00:58:29.519
how many times they come here?
Eleven times they've been at this restaurant,
929
00:58:29.880 --> 00:58:32.800
Well, they know that he's like
six, six, eleven, eleven times
930
00:58:34.039 --> 00:58:37.159
and he can't name a single dish. He's the asking to name a single
931
00:58:37.199 --> 00:58:38.719
dish, and the wife's like,
God, God, God God, and
932
00:58:38.719 --> 00:58:42.800
he's like, it wasn't cod,
you fucking donkey. It was halib it
933
00:58:43.119 --> 00:58:47.440
rare spotted Halibit just for the halibit, just for the haliban Ha. So
934
00:58:47.519 --> 00:58:52.360
he continues that he's been trying to
satisfy clientele who cannot be satisfied, and
935
00:58:52.360 --> 00:58:53.840
that's when the tech brothers bring up
dud Verick like they're like, you know,
936
00:58:53.880 --> 00:58:55.960
well you say this is your restaurant, it's not your restaurant. He's
937
00:58:55.960 --> 00:58:59.519
like, oh no, you're absolutely
right. Doug Verick is the owner.
938
00:58:59.559 --> 00:59:01.480
He's the one that helped me out
with this. But tonight I own Doug
939
00:59:01.559 --> 00:59:07.039
Varick. Yeah, And that's when
he reveals Yes and a man because they
940
00:59:07.039 --> 00:59:12.199
call he's an angel investor. That's
important, Yes, because they have him
941
00:59:12.320 --> 00:59:17.639
tied to a to a ratchet system
being rised up into the sky with angel
942
00:59:17.639 --> 00:59:21.920
wings on that Marcos all he got
carrying in the previews. Yeah. And
943
00:59:21.960 --> 00:59:24.400
then which which is important because that
tells you that, like every second there's
944
00:59:24.440 --> 00:59:28.159
prep going on. Yeah. So
when she's in the bathroom, she sees
945
00:59:28.199 --> 00:59:30.880
somebody taking those wings out, just
like when you're walking through the kitchen people
946
00:59:30.880 --> 00:59:34.199
are cutting carrots. It's all the
same thing. It's all part of that
947
00:59:34.239 --> 00:59:37.760
experience. It's all part of the
kitchen. And that's so he raises up
948
00:59:37.800 --> 00:59:40.519
and then they drop him down in
the guys and then drown him. Well,
949
00:59:40.519 --> 00:59:44.039
the best thing is the reason that
he's drowning is because I mean,
950
00:59:44.119 --> 00:59:45.840
obviously, because he wants to get
his revenge. But he says, you
951
00:59:45.840 --> 00:59:50.199
know, well, he kepts you
over during open during COVID, and he's
952
00:59:50.199 --> 00:59:52.920
like, yeah, he did,
but he also would regularly and make changes
953
00:59:52.920 --> 00:59:58.239
to the menu, ask for substitutions, and there are no substitutions. So
954
00:59:58.360 --> 01:00:00.079
lowers him in the water and he's
like, do you hear that? That's
955
01:00:00.119 --> 01:00:02.880
the sound of be being free?
And the one thing I love about that
956
01:00:02.920 --> 01:00:07.320
scene is fucking Tyler his eyes closed
listening as chef is like, do you
957
01:00:07.360 --> 01:00:10.159
hear that? Oh? Yeah,
he's so he's taking it all in.
958
01:00:13.239 --> 01:00:23.440
Do you even move? He will
be right back. Welcome back to do
959
01:00:23.639 --> 01:00:30.679
you even movie? So the timer
goes off and now it's time for Margo
960
01:00:30.719 --> 01:00:34.159
to speak with Slocan again in his
office, and he asked her if she's
961
01:00:34.159 --> 01:00:36.079
made up her mind. She has
no answer for him, and that's when
962
01:00:36.079 --> 01:00:37.880
he asked, how does she know
Richard? He goes, you know,
963
01:00:37.880 --> 01:00:38.840
I've seen you two looking at each
other. You know, how do you
964
01:00:38.880 --> 01:00:43.840
know her? And that's when we
find out that Margo is a oh I
965
01:00:43.880 --> 01:00:49.639
can't think of the word escortre escort, and that in this case of particular,
966
01:00:49.760 --> 01:00:52.440
Richard was a guy that picked her
up and had her go back with
967
01:00:52.519 --> 01:00:54.599
him, and she was requested to
watch him jerk off and look into his
968
01:00:54.639 --> 01:01:00.639
eyes while he did so, and
tell him that he's well, tell him
969
01:01:00.639 --> 01:01:01.679
good things, agree with him.
That was I agree with him. And
970
01:01:01.679 --> 01:01:05.920
then eventually she mentions that he had
her say he was a good dad.
971
01:01:05.960 --> 01:01:08.840
He was a good dad. Oh, and I love that Sloak is like,
972
01:01:08.880 --> 01:01:12.920
oh, romantic. Oh he's a
romantic. But I don't even think
973
01:01:12.960 --> 01:01:14.960
he's being funny. No, I
think he meant it. He was just
974
01:01:15.000 --> 01:01:17.119
like, oh, he's a romantic. So Slog asked if she enjoys providing
975
01:01:17.159 --> 01:01:20.800
the services, and she says she
used to. So Margo asked him the
976
01:01:20.840 --> 01:01:22.440
same, and Slok says that he
used to as well, but he hasn't
977
01:01:22.440 --> 01:01:25.400
had a desire to cook in ages
which to keep that in mind, so
978
01:01:25.440 --> 01:01:29.440
he invites Margo to accompany him as
they return to the dining room, requesting
979
01:01:29.480 --> 01:01:32.199
everyone to join him out in the
evening air and outside, Slog introduces Sue
980
01:01:32.280 --> 01:01:37.199
chef Catherine Keller, and she explains
that three years ago, Chef Sloac tried
981
01:01:37.199 --> 01:01:39.239
to fuck her. She refused.
He tried again and again, and she
982
01:01:39.320 --> 01:01:42.920
kept refusing him, even to the
point that he didn't speak to her for
983
01:01:42.960 --> 01:01:45.039
eight months, but he kept her
on the team because he can do that.
984
01:01:45.920 --> 01:01:49.440
Yeah, because he's able to do
that. Yeah. And that's when
985
01:01:49.440 --> 01:01:52.920
she introduces the next course, Man's
Folly, before stabbing him in the thigh
986
01:01:52.920 --> 01:01:54.800
with scissords. She takes the blood
off his thigh, wipes it across his
987
01:01:55.159 --> 01:01:59.920
chef's jacket, and Slowak explains that
the male diners now can try to escape.
988
01:02:00.039 --> 01:02:01.719
They're gonna have a forty five second
head start, just like a man.
989
01:02:02.400 --> 01:02:06.159
You forgot the part where he apologizes
to her. Oh, he says,
990
01:02:06.159 --> 01:02:07.320
I'm sorry. Yeah. Yeah,
yeah, she does. She stabs
991
01:02:07.360 --> 01:02:09.559
and does it and he says,
I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Yeah.
992
01:02:09.639 --> 01:02:13.679
So he explains the diner the male
diners now have a forty five second head
993
01:02:13.719 --> 01:02:15.960
start to try and escape. Of
course, one takes off running and he
994
01:02:16.000 --> 01:02:19.639
goes, okay, that time starts
now, so they all go running,
995
01:02:19.639 --> 01:02:22.679
and that's when Chef Catherine invites the
women back inside of the restaurant. The
996
01:02:22.719 --> 01:02:25.199
timer sounds and all the chefs go
off to find the men. So that's
997
01:02:25.199 --> 01:02:30.679
when we are introduced to the Man's
Folly actual dish, which is dungus crab
998
01:02:30.960 --> 01:02:35.400
fermented yogurt wee du dunganess. Excuse
me, I don't know these terms.
999
01:02:35.519 --> 01:02:40.119
Dungus crab just sounds real appetizing,
dried sea lettuce, and uimbashi kelp.
1000
01:02:42.960 --> 01:02:45.000
So inside, the ladies enjoy a
dishes. Liian tries to win over shes
1001
01:02:45.039 --> 01:02:47.119
Catherine and she's like, you know, this is so good, you know.
1002
01:02:47.440 --> 01:02:50.840
And Catherine's like, you know,
a long time ago that would have
1003
01:02:50.880 --> 01:02:52.360
meant something to me, and she
starts crying, and that's when all the
1004
01:02:52.360 --> 01:02:54.800
women start like, oh no,
it's so good. Well, and she
1005
01:02:54.840 --> 01:02:57.840
even says like you should have your
own place. I can help you with
1006
01:02:57.880 --> 01:03:00.719
that, and she's like, oh
no, no, no. The everyone
1007
01:03:00.800 --> 01:03:05.840
dying was yeah. So Anne asked
Margot how does she know Richard and she
1008
01:03:05.880 --> 01:03:07.519
confirms that she does, and that's
when we see Anne just shoot down her
1009
01:03:07.519 --> 01:03:10.440
wine. The assistant ask if they're
all really dying. That's when Catherine confirms
1010
01:03:10.440 --> 01:03:14.599
that start starting the menu or ending
the menu with them dying was her idea
1011
01:03:14.639 --> 01:03:17.800
and she's really proud of it.
So slowly, slowly, all the men
1012
01:03:17.800 --> 01:03:21.519
are caught, minus Phil, who
is the assistant of Lilian, and he's
1013
01:03:21.559 --> 01:03:23.000
hiding in a chicken coop and he's
given a special bite for the last guest
1014
01:03:23.119 --> 01:03:25.760
being caught, which is an ascid
egg, a special bite for the last
1015
01:03:25.760 --> 01:03:30.880
guest to be caught, which is
egg cram, frushaw and maple man,
1016
01:03:30.039 --> 01:03:34.679
you are not a fine dining air, No I'm not. Or a French
1017
01:03:34.679 --> 01:03:37.519
speaker, No I'm not well.
Enjoy that. That's the only compliment you'll
1018
01:03:37.559 --> 01:03:44.320
get your entire life from me inside
speaker, and Margo admits her name is
1019
01:03:44.360 --> 01:03:46.440
actually Aaron and she's from Massachusetts.
As the men return, and Tyler,
1020
01:03:46.480 --> 01:03:50.760
being the dick that he is,
goes and grabs the men's folly dish to
1021
01:03:50.800 --> 01:03:53.079
try and get it, and that's
when we see that Richard also realizes that
1022
01:03:53.119 --> 01:03:57.000
Margot and Ann have talked, and
he's like, oh no, oh no,
1023
01:03:57.800 --> 01:04:00.159
So slow E states the menu cannot
resume until they deal with the unresolved
1024
01:04:00.159 --> 01:04:04.519
matter, going to Tyler and asking
why is he here, exposing that Tyler
1025
01:04:04.639 --> 01:04:09.320
knew all of the evening's events ahead
of time, eight months ahead of time,
1026
01:04:09.599 --> 01:04:13.840
also revealing that he brought Margo because
the other date fell through and they
1027
01:04:13.880 --> 01:04:16.519
don't have seating for just one.
And Margo gets back because now she's like,
1028
01:04:16.559 --> 01:04:20.199
you invited me to I would die. You knew that I was gonna
1029
01:04:20.199 --> 01:04:25.199
friaking die. So she starts attacking
him, and that's when Chef is impressed
1030
01:04:25.199 --> 01:04:28.000
by Tyler stating that he's a cook, and since he's a cook, he
1031
01:04:28.079 --> 01:04:31.039
belongs in the kitchen because he's clearly
a foodie. He's clearly like, studied
1032
01:04:31.199 --> 01:04:35.079
all of these these styles and techniques. He's fascinated by food. So he
1033
01:04:35.119 --> 01:04:39.440
presents them with the chef's jacket and
slowan personalizes it by writing his name on
1034
01:04:39.480 --> 01:04:43.039
it and marker, and that's what
he tells Tyler to cook, and Elsa
1035
01:04:43.039 --> 01:04:46.199
summons everyone into the kitchen for a
demonstration and Tyler requests leaks, shallots,
1036
01:04:46.559 --> 01:04:49.599
butter lamb. But we got to
back up because one of the things is
1037
01:04:49.599 --> 01:04:54.360
he's trying to get these out as
a chef's like asking him for him At
1038
01:04:54.360 --> 01:04:56.920
one point, he's like, shit, would you like some shit? You
1039
01:04:56.960 --> 01:04:59.960
like some shit? Shit? Please? So he cooks a dish showing their
1040
01:05:00.360 --> 01:05:01.840
showing nerves. He's nervous the entire
time because at one point he's chopping.
1041
01:05:01.840 --> 01:05:04.119
He's like, oh, a new
chopping technique I'm not familiar with. Yeah,
1042
01:05:04.159 --> 01:05:08.400
he's just messily chopping yep, everything, So he starves it to Slowik,
1043
01:05:08.400 --> 01:05:11.519
who acts impressed. He takes a
bite and he's like, wow,
1044
01:05:11.679 --> 01:05:15.559
I'm I'm you know, I'm impressed
to say it's quite bad, and that's
1045
01:05:15.599 --> 01:05:19.280
when Tyler's bullshit is shown on screen, which is under cook lamb, an
1046
01:05:19.360 --> 01:05:23.320
edible shallot, leak, butter,
sauce, and utter lack of cohesion.
1047
01:05:24.039 --> 01:05:27.599
Harsh and it is harsh. It's
actually kind of sad to see something.
1048
01:05:27.639 --> 01:05:30.119
He just go like, oh,
you care about one thing, Well,
1049
01:05:30.119 --> 01:05:31.519
fuck you, and then he tells
him that he's the mystery. He's why
1050
01:05:31.519 --> 01:05:34.119
the mystery has been drained from their
art, before whispering something in his ear
1051
01:05:34.159 --> 01:05:36.719
that we don't hear, and that's
when Tyler breaks down, removing his chef
1052
01:05:36.800 --> 01:05:41.400
jacket and walking off into the back. Slow Sure, he's fine, it's
1053
01:05:41.440 --> 01:05:43.920
gonna be fine. Yeah, he's
probably just hanging around somewhere. Yeah,
1054
01:05:44.000 --> 01:05:46.559
just hanging out. Slowik apologizes to
everyone for the demonstration, as it wasn't
1055
01:05:46.559 --> 01:05:49.079
part of the menu, and he
has Margo come with him, telling her
1056
01:05:49.119 --> 01:05:51.920
that they need to prepare for the
dessert and they need a large barrel that
1057
01:05:51.960 --> 01:05:55.800
Elsa forgot and asking her to retrieve
it. From the smokehouse, which she
1058
01:05:55.840 --> 01:05:58.760
saw earlier on the tour. Elsa
gives her the key and Margo goes out,
1059
01:05:58.760 --> 01:06:01.079
catching sight of Tyler, who's himself
in the back kitchen. So you
1060
01:06:01.119 --> 01:06:06.559
know why Tyler couldn't cook, Why
he has no sense of other people.
1061
01:06:06.679 --> 01:06:13.159
No, he's he's entirely selfish.
He has no desire to make others happy.
1062
01:06:13.239 --> 01:06:15.960
No, it's all about him,
because that's the one thing I picked
1063
01:06:15.000 --> 01:06:18.400
up on this viewing is that he
is. He's telling everybody in regards to
1064
01:06:18.400 --> 01:06:21.360
Margo for the most part of what
he knows about the dish, all the
1065
01:06:21.440 --> 01:06:26.199
expertise about it and everything. But
again, he can't do anything even when
1066
01:06:26.239 --> 01:06:28.800
he's asked to. Well, he
can't. But I really think that the
1067
01:06:28.840 --> 01:06:31.320
point of that is because he just
has no selflessness in him at all.
1068
01:06:31.519 --> 01:06:35.639
He has no desire to make anyone
happy other than himself. So of course,
1069
01:06:35.760 --> 01:06:39.599
if you don't, I mean I, like I said, I love
1070
01:06:39.639 --> 01:06:45.800
to cook. Yeah, and it
takes a degree of love and joy to
1071
01:06:45.920 --> 01:06:48.519
cook, especially when you're cooking something
complex, when you know that you could
1072
01:06:48.519 --> 01:06:53.039
literally just fucking make a box of
macaroni and cheese, but you're with you
1073
01:06:53.079 --> 01:06:56.920
know, a loved one, your
your you know, girlfriend, a friend
1074
01:06:57.280 --> 01:07:00.559
like I cooked. I cooked the
latcause at a satyr a couple of weeks
1075
01:07:00.599 --> 01:07:03.559
back, and I love doing it, and but it is messy and unpleasant.
1076
01:07:03.880 --> 01:07:10.679
I I refuse to use the grading
methods, uh, non traditional grading
1077
01:07:10.679 --> 01:07:14.719
methods on the on the onions.
Yeah. So I'm just like tears and
1078
01:07:14.800 --> 01:07:16.320
burning face because it's like, no, this is how I was taught.
1079
01:07:16.599 --> 01:07:18.960
I want to do it the way
I the family way. I've got it.
1080
01:07:19.000 --> 01:07:20.760
And I've got to give you props
because I know I've mentioned on the
1081
01:07:20.760 --> 01:07:24.639
show before in this episode two,
but like, you're a really good chef,
1082
01:07:24.800 --> 01:07:27.079
thank you. W I'm not a
chef, I'm a cook cook.
1083
01:07:27.199 --> 01:07:30.960
Yeah, you're a whole other.
Still, I still really wish that you
1084
01:07:30.000 --> 01:07:33.320
would make that ghost chili ramen again. That was so I will soon.
1085
01:07:33.480 --> 01:07:38.920
I will tell you what. When
winter starts, you ask for it,
1086
01:07:38.960 --> 01:07:42.559
will go make it happen. Is
winter coming? I don't know anymore?
1087
01:07:43.280 --> 01:07:45.400
But but but all I'm saying is
that that you have to have a desire
1088
01:07:45.440 --> 01:07:49.159
to make another person happy to cook
a great meal, absolutely, and it
1089
01:07:49.280 --> 01:07:54.400
is not always easy. Uh you
have to use butter, That's it.
1090
01:07:54.760 --> 01:07:57.880
That's that's the whole trick. Just
use butter and everyone will love it.
1091
01:07:57.920 --> 01:08:00.239
So Slow goes to introduce the next
dish, but is stuffy like Guzamo asking
1092
01:08:00.280 --> 01:08:03.960
you know, why is he being
punished, and Slow explains he went to
1093
01:08:03.960 --> 01:08:08.320
see Calling Doctor Sunshine on Sunday,
his only day off, and he didn't
1094
01:08:08.400 --> 01:08:13.920
like the movie. Yeah, that's
it, he says, he saw it
1095
01:08:13.920 --> 01:08:15.760
alone in the cinema, didn't enjoy
it, calling him pitiful artist. And
1096
01:08:15.800 --> 01:08:18.760
La Guazamo asked about his assistant,
and he goes, what school did you
1097
01:08:18.800 --> 01:08:24.439
go to? And she goes,
Brown student loans. Sorry, you're dying
1098
01:08:24.439 --> 01:08:28.159
tonight. Yeah, not one of
us. So Margo reaches the smokehouse,
1099
01:08:28.199 --> 01:08:30.960
but instead goes into Slowak's house,
which they saw earlier on the tour,
1100
01:08:30.079 --> 01:08:35.760
revealing an exact setup like Hawthorne Restaurant
inside his house. So his house is
1101
01:08:35.880 --> 01:08:40.760
a bed and a food or like
a couch and like a few of those
1102
01:08:40.760 --> 01:08:45.279
things, and then just the exact
same kitchen, which is sincerely bizarre.
1103
01:08:45.600 --> 01:08:48.399
I remember the first time seeing that, I was like, oh fuck,
1104
01:08:48.800 --> 01:08:51.600
yeah, it tells you everything you
need to know. He goes to sleep
1105
01:08:51.600 --> 01:08:55.479
every night in front of the exact
same place he works every day, but
1106
01:08:55.600 --> 01:08:58.600
it's I mean, it's different but
the same. It's a very bizarre twist.
1107
01:08:58.640 --> 01:09:00.560
So that's what Elsa catches her in, stating no one is allowed inside
1108
01:09:00.600 --> 01:09:03.439
chef's quarters, adding that she takes
care of the customers so chef can take
1109
01:09:03.479 --> 01:09:06.600
care of the menu. And Margo
questions why would she die for her or
1110
01:09:06.640 --> 01:09:09.600
why would she die for him?
And that's when Elsa says, do you
1111
01:09:09.600 --> 01:09:12.159
think he told me about the barrel? And charges at her with the knife
1112
01:09:12.159 --> 01:09:15.279
and starts attacking her. They fight, which ends up with Elsa stabbed in
1113
01:09:15.279 --> 01:09:18.760
the throat. So Elsa is dead
now in inside Sloak's house, and after
1114
01:09:18.800 --> 01:09:24.439
that, Margo goes to another door
and finds a radio inside. But inside
1115
01:09:24.439 --> 01:09:30.119
before that, she sees all these
pictures and articles of Slovak's previous restaurants,
1116
01:09:30.439 --> 01:09:33.279
including one for Hamburger Howies where he
was the employee of the month in nineteen
1117
01:09:33.319 --> 01:09:38.479
eighty seven, and he has a
big smile one so happy. Yeah,
1118
01:09:38.520 --> 01:09:42.279
and I have a lot to say
about this as we get further in Yeah,
1119
01:09:42.359 --> 01:09:44.279
so there's an interesting part I'll get
to when we get to this.
1120
01:09:44.319 --> 01:09:46.560
You're not interesting, shut up?
So like I said. She also finds
1121
01:09:46.600 --> 01:09:49.079
a radio and tries to call out
on it, and that's when Margo returns
1122
01:09:49.079 --> 01:09:53.119
with the barrel as the tech bro
is getting served a birthday kick, and
1123
01:09:53.159 --> 01:09:55.079
that's when he looks at his buddies
and goes, you told him it was
1124
01:09:55.079 --> 01:09:57.600
my birthday, and the guy was
like, about three hours ago this seemed
1125
01:09:57.600 --> 01:10:00.760
funnier, Yeah, about three hours
ago. This scene pretty funny. So
1126
01:10:00.800 --> 01:10:02.640
slowly tells her to take her seat, and then he states that everything tonight
1127
01:10:02.760 --> 01:10:06.039
is egoless and he is releasing his
pain and that he feels good about it,
1128
01:10:06.079 --> 01:10:10.239
demonstrating that a chef's hands, you
know, can contain heat. He
1129
01:10:10.239 --> 01:10:13.279
puts it over a flame and holds
it there, and that's when suddenly we
1130
01:10:13.319 --> 01:10:15.000
hear the sound of a boat.
So Margo got through to the coast guard.
1131
01:10:15.000 --> 01:10:17.000
Have you ever heard the term chef
hand chef Hans, ye oh yeah,
1132
01:10:17.039 --> 01:10:19.439
it just means that you have like
you're able to handle heat. He
1133
01:10:19.439 --> 01:10:23.920
says that you can carry a blazing
pan to your table, like from the
1134
01:10:23.960 --> 01:10:27.000
oven to the table with no issue. What's yeah, which I mean I've
1135
01:10:27.000 --> 01:10:30.600
seen some people with crazy chef hands. Yeah, So slowly tells her to
1136
01:10:30.640 --> 01:10:32.439
take her seat, and he tells
everybody to start cleaning up the dining room.
1137
01:10:32.600 --> 01:10:35.079
And that's when he also says,
you know, don't bring any attention
1138
01:10:35.119 --> 01:10:38.239
to this. You don't want this
coast guard been to die. But also
1139
01:10:38.760 --> 01:10:41.600
one question you should ask yourself is
why didn't you all try to fight harder?
1140
01:10:42.199 --> 01:10:44.439
There's more of us than there are
review you probably could have won,
1141
01:10:45.199 --> 01:10:48.720
I mean, and that's a classic
horror movie conundrum too. It's like,
1142
01:10:48.760 --> 01:10:51.000
you know, if you're stuck on
the ski lift, do you just jump
1143
01:10:51.239 --> 01:10:55.800
or do you wait until you're weak
to jump? God? The guard walks
1144
01:10:55.840 --> 01:10:59.119
in asking if anybody calls for a
stress order. No one moves, no
1145
01:10:59.159 --> 01:11:01.439
one says anything, and he recognizes
like Gazamo stating that he's a big fan
1146
01:11:01.479 --> 01:11:04.680
and one of his favorite movies is
calling Doctor Sunshine. Yes, and I
1147
01:11:04.720 --> 01:11:10.359
think that that's really important. Oh
you think so too, because I because
1148
01:11:10.359 --> 01:11:13.960
it gives a way that he's that
he may or may not be a part
1149
01:11:13.960 --> 01:11:15.880
of this is what I saw it
as. I think it's because Doctor Sunshine.
1150
01:11:16.279 --> 01:11:18.840
And we'll get into it more in
a second. Is like Wasamo's characters
1151
01:11:18.920 --> 01:11:25.600
cheeseburger? Oh okay, okay,
we'll get back to that yeah, yeah,
1152
01:11:25.680 --> 01:11:28.359
yeah. So then he recognizes like
Wazamo states he's a big fan,
1153
01:11:28.439 --> 01:11:30.039
and of course Slowca is like,
would you like an autograph? So leg
1154
01:11:30.079 --> 01:11:31.960
Wasama's like, well, I don't
have a pen and paper. They bring
1155
01:11:32.000 --> 01:11:33.720
it out to him. He writes
it and he's like, you know,
1156
01:11:33.840 --> 01:11:36.359
thank you, and that's when the
notes revealed to say help us. The
1157
01:11:36.399 --> 01:11:40.159
guard draws his gun, telling slog
to put his hands on his head drop
1158
01:11:40.239 --> 01:11:42.520
to the floor, and the guests
are like shoot him, shoot him,
1159
01:11:42.560 --> 01:11:44.920
like he's it's all him, and
of course, philled, the Lilian's assistant
1160
01:11:44.960 --> 01:11:48.520
is like, fuck you, and
he goes to turn the gun on Margo,
1161
01:11:48.640 --> 01:11:51.439
revealing the gun is fake and actually
a lighter as he lights the candle
1162
01:11:51.479 --> 01:11:56.000
on Margo's table. Yeah, it's
a good fake out, and he's part
1163
01:11:56.039 --> 01:11:58.439
of the chef's staff. So he
returns to the kitchen and slow It confronts
1164
01:11:58.439 --> 01:12:00.560
Margo for breaking your bond of trust
and says I was wrong about you.
1165
01:12:00.560 --> 01:12:05.399
You are meant to be with them. So we see the chef return to
1166
01:12:05.439 --> 01:12:10.000
the kitchen. Margo contemplates for a
second before standing up and doing her own
1167
01:12:10.439 --> 01:12:14.520
interpretation of the chef's clap. I
love this part. This is what made
1168
01:12:15.000 --> 01:12:21.560
this is what made the film a
much had the film have a staying impact
1169
01:12:21.640 --> 01:12:25.560
on me. Up until this point, it was pretty damn good. But
1170
01:12:25.640 --> 01:12:29.720
the way the end it is truly
excellent. If you have not seen the
1171
01:12:29.760 --> 01:12:31.279
film, stop, you may want
to just go rent it right now.
1172
01:12:32.159 --> 01:12:35.359
I don't want to spoil it,
but I'm really excited to spoil it.
1173
01:12:35.439 --> 01:12:39.159
So here we go. So Margot
contemplates, she stands up, does the
1174
01:12:39.239 --> 01:12:42.720
chef clap, and that's when she
says that she is not satisfied and she
1175
01:12:42.720 --> 01:12:46.920
would like to send her food back
and execs the kitchen, apologizing, asking
1176
01:12:46.920 --> 01:12:49.960
what about the food is wrong?
And she states he's taken the joy out
1177
01:12:49.960 --> 01:12:53.840
of eating. This food is made
with no love, and slog argues,
1178
01:12:53.880 --> 01:12:58.680
well, you know we cook,
we only cook with love here at Hawthorne,
1179
01:12:58.800 --> 01:13:01.359
and then it says you cook with
love. Yes, It's like that's
1180
01:13:01.439 --> 01:13:05.399
like the most not loving thing ever
that they all have to yell yet che
1181
01:13:05.800 --> 01:13:10.319
so Margo states he cooks with obsession, not love. Hot dishes are cold,
1182
01:13:10.359 --> 01:13:12.880
and she's bored. And the worst
part of it is, I'm still
1183
01:13:13.000 --> 01:13:16.239
fucking hungry and I love that because
the idea you cook with obsession, not
1184
01:13:16.520 --> 01:13:27.119
love. Listen as your style guy, as your lifestyle coach. Folks,
1185
01:13:27.920 --> 01:13:32.119
take a moment and think about some
of the worst decisions in your personal life
1186
01:13:33.000 --> 01:13:39.720
are probably when you did something out
of obsession and not love. That's why
1187
01:13:39.760 --> 01:13:45.760
I love that little moment. Yeah, because she's completely right. And this
1188
01:13:45.840 --> 01:13:48.720
movie has a lot to say about
being in the service industry, which I'll
1189
01:13:48.760 --> 01:13:53.800
dive into in a second. Keep
going. So she says that, you
1190
01:13:53.800 --> 01:13:56.039
know he has what are you hungry
for? We have that? What do
1191
01:13:56.039 --> 01:13:58.199
you have? Well, we have
everything here, and she goes, you
1192
01:13:58.199 --> 01:14:02.439
know what, I would really want
a cheeseburger, And we see Slowick's eyes
1193
01:14:02.640 --> 01:14:05.039
just light up a little bit.
Yeah, yeah, just to smidge it.
1194
01:14:05.159 --> 01:14:09.199
Yeah, And he goes a cheeseburger
and she says, you know,
1195
01:14:09.239 --> 01:14:13.039
and not some deconstructed bullshit, A
real cheeseburger, A real cheeseburger. And
1196
01:14:13.079 --> 01:14:15.600
he's like, well, how do
you want it medium, rare or medium?
1197
01:14:15.640 --> 01:14:17.600
And she and what cheese? American
cheese? Oh, American cheese is
1198
01:14:17.640 --> 01:14:21.319
the best of cheese. Doesn't split
when it melts? Yeah? And how
1199
01:14:21.359 --> 01:14:25.279
much will that set me back?
Nine five? Does it come with fries?
1200
01:14:25.760 --> 01:14:29.640
Is the Friar still on. Yes, Chef creakle cut or Julian I
1201
01:14:29.760 --> 01:14:32.960
love that. Yeah, And that's
when we watch slow It craft a delicious
1202
01:14:33.000 --> 01:14:36.800
looking cheeseburger. And the best part
of this is is he's smiling for the
1203
01:14:36.840 --> 01:14:42.560
first time while he cooks. And
it's simple. Yeah. Two meat balls,
1204
01:14:42.680 --> 01:14:45.159
yep. He puts them on the
stove, flattens them, and then
1205
01:14:45.239 --> 01:14:49.680
puts salt and pepper. Nothing crazy
pepper. He does do a few little
1206
01:14:49.760 --> 01:14:53.239
chefy tricks to make any of the
better. He puts onions on, then
1207
01:14:53.279 --> 01:14:56.399
flips it with the onions so that
the steams the onions into the burger yep,
1208
01:14:56.560 --> 01:15:00.880
which I mean he probably learned from
White Castle. Makes sense, but
1209
01:15:00.199 --> 01:15:03.640
you know those burgers are cooked entirely
as it's so good. I'm I love
1210
01:15:03.640 --> 01:15:09.800
a cover Boss episode of White Castle. Listen, I'm really fucking hungry idea.
1211
01:15:10.000 --> 01:15:12.680
Oh God, I ate leftover pizza
for dinner and it did not take
1212
01:15:12.760 --> 01:15:16.039
but so but my poisy. So
he makes this simple burger, tons of
1213
01:15:16.119 --> 01:15:20.039
cheese, He puts it on the
bun, he scrases it down. It's
1214
01:15:20.199 --> 01:15:26.439
juicy as hell, and then the
subtitle dave, I love it a real
1215
01:15:26.520 --> 01:15:30.399
cheeseburger. Is what we get a
supplemental course, a cheeseburger, Just a
1216
01:15:30.439 --> 01:15:32.199
well made cheeseburger. Yeah, that's
all it says. Yep, none of
1217
01:15:32.199 --> 01:15:38.119
that atrama bullshit. Nope, not
no extra syllables that you get charged eight
1218
01:15:38.159 --> 01:15:41.880
dollars a syllable for. So he
serves it to Margo. And the best
1219
01:15:41.880 --> 01:15:44.560
part of this is is everybody in
the restaurant's watching this happen. Yeah,
1220
01:15:44.560 --> 01:15:47.880
they're all just watching this this moment. I don't know how to describe it.
1221
01:15:47.920 --> 01:15:50.720
And we watch her take a big
bite of it and smile, making
1222
01:15:50.800 --> 01:15:54.479
him smile back more as she goes, that's cheeseburger, and he goes,
1223
01:15:54.520 --> 01:15:58.039
that is a cheeseburger, and the
and she comments that her eyes were maybe
1224
01:15:58.039 --> 01:16:00.560
a little bigger than her stomach,
asking if she can get the rest to
1225
01:16:00.600 --> 01:16:03.359
go, and so he puts it
in a fucking to go box. Yes
1226
01:16:03.399 --> 01:16:08.359
he does, and then she pays, pays, presents her with the to
1227
01:16:08.439 --> 01:16:12.279
go bag, and then they let
her walk out the front fucking door.
1228
01:16:12.359 --> 01:16:15.479
Yeah, she just leaves because she's
done with her meal. Yep, do
1229
01:16:15.640 --> 01:16:28.439
you even? Movie will be right
back, welcome back to do you even
1230
01:16:28.560 --> 01:16:34.680
movie? So slowik then presents the
diners with their bill's stating that they have
1231
01:16:34.720 --> 01:16:38.039
one more course, but he's also
going to include a goodie bag, which
1232
01:16:38.079 --> 01:16:41.319
is the housemaid grains, some of
Doug Verrick's fingers, and a copy of
1233
01:16:41.319 --> 01:16:45.720
tonight's menu. And that's when ladies
and gentlemen we get to the final course,
1234
01:16:45.279 --> 01:16:49.479
which is he talks about how this
has been an assault on the taste
1235
01:16:49.520 --> 01:16:53.279
budge, which is a s'more.
He says, you know that it is
1236
01:16:53.319 --> 01:16:58.520
one of the most atrocious things for
a culinary god. What is I can't
1237
01:16:58.520 --> 01:17:00.359
remember how he says it, but
basically how it's a mess, like how
1238
01:17:00.439 --> 01:17:04.000
this is not like something that should
be cooked in a restaurant. Basically,
1239
01:17:04.039 --> 01:17:06.680
yeah, it's meant for a campfire, meant for a campfire. And that's
1240
01:17:06.680 --> 01:17:11.239
when we see that the restaurant is
about to be the more as they are
1241
01:17:11.319 --> 01:17:15.640
laying Grand Crappers, Grant Crackers,
God Grand Crappers, ladies and gentlemen,
1242
01:17:15.760 --> 01:17:20.680
Graham Cracker crumbs all over the restaurant
floor. They are putting these like marshmallow
1243
01:17:20.760 --> 01:17:28.239
straight jackets onto the guests and also
putting these giant chocolate hats on the guests
1244
01:17:28.239 --> 01:17:30.119
as well. Dave couldn't think of
the word hungry. No, like I'm
1245
01:17:30.159 --> 01:17:32.840
hungry too, Like I didn't think
about this. Oh no, And that's
1246
01:17:32.880 --> 01:17:36.279
when we see Slowick take his hand
into the coals. He grabs the coals
1247
01:17:36.319 --> 01:17:40.239
and we see Margo pulling away on
a boat that she's found. He goes,
1248
01:17:40.279 --> 01:17:41.960
you know, uh, it was
the boat that they saw the coast
1249
01:17:42.239 --> 01:17:44.800
they saw the coast guard brang.
Yeah, and that's when he drops the
1250
01:17:44.800 --> 01:17:45.840
coals down, saying, no,
I love you all again, We love
1251
01:17:45.880 --> 01:17:49.000
you two, chef, and we
see the entire restaurant, the staff,
1252
01:17:49.039 --> 01:17:53.479
the customers all go up in flames
as these marshmallows chocolate are all melting.
1253
01:17:53.840 --> 01:17:57.600
And Margo stops the boat as the
restaurant I Nights, takes out the cheeseburger,
1254
01:17:57.880 --> 01:18:00.720
takes a big bite, watches the
fire, takes the menu out of
1255
01:18:00.720 --> 01:18:03.359
the goodie bag and wipes her mouth
with it. But we also missed that
1256
01:18:03.640 --> 01:18:08.680
they bring up the Smores carb which
says S'mores marshmallow, chocolate, Graham cracker,
1257
01:18:09.039 --> 01:18:14.439
customers, staff, restaurant, and
that, my friends, is that
1258
01:18:14.479 --> 01:18:18.319
menu. And I want to say
one thing before we get into all of
1259
01:18:18.359 --> 01:18:21.279
it. Yeah, the chef what
was his name? Again the chef Julian
1260
01:18:21.319 --> 01:18:28.000
Slowick, Slowick, Chef Slowick.
I think I know why he wanted to
1261
01:18:28.039 --> 01:18:30.600
die in the restaurant, not just
not just because he's sad. Yeah,
1262
01:18:31.439 --> 01:18:38.079
I think he needed to prove he
was not a god. I could see
1263
01:18:38.079 --> 01:18:43.079
that. Think about how he is. He has followers, not just the
1264
01:18:43.079 --> 01:18:45.880
people who work for him, the
people who pay obscene money to eat his
1265
01:18:45.880 --> 01:18:48.960
food. Yeah, he gets to
demand everything. He gets to tell them
1266
01:18:48.960 --> 01:18:53.600
no substitutions, you eat what I
give you. It's perfect in every way.
1267
01:18:54.239 --> 01:18:57.760
He gets to freaking, you know, touch fire with his bare hands,
1268
01:18:57.800 --> 01:19:00.520
and he doesn't care. He has
his own island, his own everything.
1269
01:19:00.560 --> 01:19:04.479
It's it's all self serving. I
think in a way, if you
1270
01:19:04.600 --> 01:19:09.279
look at him and the way he
carries himself, the way he talks to
1271
01:19:09.319 --> 01:19:14.680
everybody, I think in a way
he feels he's a god and resents it.
1272
01:19:15.239 --> 01:19:19.279
You're gonna love some trivia here in
a second. Oh no, yeah,
1273
01:19:19.399 --> 01:19:23.800
you ready? I mean, unless
you wanted to expand on the whole.
1274
01:19:23.920 --> 01:19:26.079
No, no, no, I'm
gonna I'm gonna give you this,
1275
01:19:26.800 --> 01:19:30.359
Okay, I'm down. So one
of the restaurants that they see the newspaper
1276
01:19:30.479 --> 01:19:34.159
article in chef's room shows that he
once worked at a restaurant called Tontulus.
1277
01:19:34.359 --> 01:19:38.920
Tonsulus is the name of a character
in Greek mythology. He invited the gods
1278
01:19:38.960 --> 01:19:41.720
to his home for dinner, but
trick them into eating a stew made from
1279
01:19:41.720 --> 01:19:44.600
the meat of his own son,
who he had murdered and dismembered in order
1280
01:19:44.640 --> 01:19:47.039
to test their omniscience. When the
gods realized what he had done, they
1281
01:19:47.119 --> 01:19:51.119
cursed Tondulus to stand in shallow pool
of water under a fruit tree. Anytime
1282
01:19:51.159 --> 01:19:55.119
he would raise his hand for the
fruit, the tree's branches would rise beyond
1283
01:19:55.119 --> 01:19:57.960
his reach, and anytime he would
bend down to drink, the water would
1284
01:19:57.960 --> 01:20:00.680
recede, much the same way.
The chef has served the elite and sacrificed
1285
01:20:00.680 --> 01:20:03.560
his own dream, and now all
the food and drink is meaningless to him.
1286
01:20:03.880 --> 01:20:06.319
Hmmm, that's interesting. I do
like that. Yeah, yeah,
1287
01:20:06.359 --> 01:20:10.119
but no, I think I think
you're absolutely dead on I think he has
1288
01:20:10.199 --> 01:20:14.520
kind of came to this realization that
since he's lost the passion, since he's
1289
01:20:14.560 --> 01:20:17.319
lost the desire to do what he
loves, that the only way for him
1290
01:20:17.319 --> 01:20:20.680
to go out is the way for
him to go I mean go out with
1291
01:20:20.680 --> 01:20:23.680
his entire staff. He wants to
take it all with it, take it
1292
01:20:23.720 --> 01:20:28.359
all with him exactly, and the
whole thing where he lets the Sioux chef
1293
01:20:28.399 --> 01:20:32.079
stab him and then ruin his shirt
and then he apologizes. I felt like
1294
01:20:32.159 --> 01:20:36.920
that was a part of him trying
to step his way back into mortality since
1295
01:20:36.960 --> 01:20:41.560
he knew that, like I'm gonna
die tonight. Yeah, And that was
1296
01:20:41.600 --> 01:20:43.399
just something I started to pick up
with the way he walked around, the
1297
01:20:43.399 --> 01:20:45.159
way he looked at people, the
way he talked to people, the way
1298
01:20:45.199 --> 01:20:47.000
he was so confused when people didn't
agree with him. I was like,
1299
01:20:47.079 --> 01:20:49.479
man, this guy's got a god
complex and I don't think he likes it.
1300
01:20:49.520 --> 01:20:53.159
Doesn't like it. Yeah, yeah, that's just my thought. But
1301
01:20:54.399 --> 01:20:58.720
so what was it doctor Sunshine calling
doctor Son calling doctor Sunshine. I think
1302
01:20:58.760 --> 01:21:03.640
that calling doctor Sunshine was a metaphor
for the Cheeseburger because leg Waszamo's character says
1303
01:21:03.680 --> 01:21:06.359
when they made that movie like it
was a stupid script, not a great
1304
01:21:06.439 --> 01:21:10.119
role, but a great set to
be on. So he had because he
1305
01:21:10.159 --> 01:21:13.319
smiles when he hears about even though
he's like, I'm not like super proud
1306
01:21:13.319 --> 01:21:16.159
of that movie, but I enjoyed
being there. But then you hear one
1307
01:21:16.239 --> 01:21:21.159
person at the chef who's this hate
filled, jaded creature say like, well
1308
01:21:21.199 --> 01:21:25.199
that movie wasn't very good and it
ruined my whole day. But then like
1309
01:21:25.279 --> 01:21:27.640
some random ass too, chef is
like I love that movie. Yeah,
1310
01:21:28.560 --> 01:21:35.399
because service is subjective, and how
happy you make people this subjective? It's
1311
01:21:35.399 --> 01:21:42.000
also worth considering for a moment,
David, that America is a service economy.
1312
01:21:42.720 --> 01:21:45.680
We shifted. We used to be
a manufacturing economy, now we're a
1313
01:21:45.680 --> 01:21:48.159
service economy. Most people work in
the service industry. But what a lot
1314
01:21:48.199 --> 01:21:51.479
of people forget. And I bet
you didn't know this. You know who's
1315
01:21:51.560 --> 01:21:57.880
in the service industry? What do
you mean? Like, what profession is
1316
01:21:57.880 --> 01:22:03.600
in the service industry? No,
Actors, yeah, filmmakers, that's the
1317
01:22:03.600 --> 01:22:10.359
service industrivice industry. My point is, see how you didn't even realize it.
1318
01:22:10.399 --> 01:22:13.560
And you're not a jaded dude.
I don't really think you're jaded at
1319
01:22:13.560 --> 01:22:15.199
all. No, I mean I
mean, if you are, it's like
1320
01:22:15.600 --> 01:22:17.119
whatever, it's not. Yeah,
it's minor. But like my point,
1321
01:22:17.159 --> 01:22:19.520
I mean, we all get jaded
about something. Yeah, but that's my
1322
01:22:19.560 --> 01:22:21.960
point is, like, but even
you you're like, oh yeah, because
1323
01:22:23.000 --> 01:22:24.319
the second I said that, You're
like, oh, yeah, of course
1324
01:22:24.319 --> 01:22:27.439
their service. Yeah, that's what
I got from this movies. It's like
1325
01:22:28.479 --> 01:22:32.479
when you stop caring about who you're
supposed to be taking care of. And
1326
01:22:32.560 --> 01:22:36.000
don't get me wrong, people in
the service industry they get treated like shit
1327
01:22:36.119 --> 01:22:40.399
all the time. They get crapped
on. It's a really hard job.
1328
01:22:40.479 --> 01:22:43.479
But if you've ever met someone and
I don't know if you have or not,
1329
01:22:43.920 --> 01:22:47.640
who is excellent in the service industry, and I don't just mean they're
1330
01:22:47.640 --> 01:22:53.039
good at there, they like it. There is a joy I am.
1331
01:22:53.439 --> 01:22:55.840
I don't know if I'm one of
them. I actually liked working retail,
1332
01:22:55.840 --> 01:22:59.399
but I only did it for four
months during Christmas. For a long time.
1333
01:22:59.479 --> 01:23:01.319
Yeah, But like I have a
buddy Ray, you know right,
1334
01:23:01.800 --> 01:23:08.359
and Ray is a concierge and a
manager of hotels. He loves making people
1335
01:23:08.439 --> 01:23:12.079
stay comfortable. I bet he loves
going out of the way. He once
1336
01:23:12.159 --> 01:23:15.439
told me a story with this big
grin on his face because he opened the
1337
01:23:15.479 --> 01:23:18.880
pool for an extra hour because this
family had traveled really far and they arrived
1338
01:23:18.880 --> 01:23:21.760
an hour late. So he came
to the room and was like, I
1339
01:23:21.800 --> 01:23:25.960
just want to let you know.
The door will be unlocked until ten thirty
1340
01:23:26.000 --> 01:23:28.680
instead of nine thirty. We hope
you enjoy your state. But he was
1341
01:23:28.720 --> 01:23:30.720
so he was just telling me the
story and he had a huge smile on
1342
01:23:30.760 --> 01:23:33.600
his face because he was like,
I got to make their day by doing
1343
01:23:33.640 --> 01:23:38.199
my job. And I think that's
how a good chef is. I think
1344
01:23:38.199 --> 01:23:41.359
that's how you have to be if
you want to entertain people. You know,
1345
01:23:41.840 --> 01:23:45.880
again, I know how fortunate I
am. I mostly work in movies,
1346
01:23:45.960 --> 01:23:49.920
but now my part time gig is
podcasting this show and Weekly Spooky.
1347
01:23:49.960 --> 01:23:55.039
Weekly Spooky is a really big audience. It's very hard to accrue an audience
1348
01:23:55.119 --> 01:23:58.520
like that. But every day I
sit down, no matter how tired I
1349
01:23:58.560 --> 01:24:02.039
am, I can't help but get
little twinkle in my eye because I'm gonna
1350
01:24:02.079 --> 01:24:06.399
make someone smile. Like literally,
while we were recording the show, I
1351
01:24:06.439 --> 01:24:11.239
got a comment on Patreon from somebody
just saying how much they loved the new
1352
01:24:11.279 --> 01:24:15.680
series that just finished. Yeah,
and it made me so happy. But
1353
01:24:15.720 --> 01:24:20.199
it's so easy to lose that.
And the best way to lose what it
1354
01:24:20.319 --> 01:24:28.720
means to do something for others is
to seek perfection, because then the customer
1355
01:24:28.800 --> 01:24:32.199
is completely secondary. That to makes
sense, so that's just my thought.
1356
01:24:32.359 --> 01:24:36.800
So when I heard the multiple references
to calling doctor Sunshine, yeah, I
1357
01:24:36.880 --> 01:24:41.279
was like, that's his cheeseburger.
That makes sense, and he doesn't like
1358
01:24:41.319 --> 01:24:44.359
that people remember it, yet he
can't help but smile smile when it brought
1359
01:24:44.439 --> 01:24:45.960
up. Ye, Yeah, just
like the chef couldn't help but smile when
1360
01:24:45.960 --> 01:24:50.079
he asked was asked for a cheeseburger, because it's like, how hard is
1361
01:24:50.119 --> 01:24:54.399
it to make a great cheeseburger?
It's not that hard. Well, it's
1362
01:24:54.560 --> 01:24:57.000
the one thing they have to be
hard to be valuable. No, And
1363
01:24:57.039 --> 01:24:59.960
the one thing I love about the
scene when she sees the Hungry Howie's article
1364
01:25:00.239 --> 01:25:02.640
is she sees a picture of him
with his family, like his wife and
1365
01:25:02.680 --> 01:25:06.159
his kid, and he's not smiling. Sees another picture him with a restaurant,
1366
01:25:06.319 --> 01:25:11.039
not smiling, sees this picture from
nineteen eighty seven of him just holding
1367
01:25:11.079 --> 01:25:14.960
the spatula and the cheeseburger, big
ass grint, and she just centers in
1368
01:25:15.000 --> 01:25:17.319
on it because he's making people happy
with food, Yeah, which is what
1369
01:25:17.399 --> 01:25:21.239
he always wanted. Yeah, Yeah, it's it's so good. That's something
1370
01:25:21.279 --> 01:25:26.159
I really love about the film.
And I've been thinking a lot about the
1371
01:25:26.199 --> 01:25:29.800
service economy since. Frankly, my
mind was blown when I found out that
1372
01:25:30.000 --> 01:25:33.880
podcasters and filmmakers are categorized as service. I didn't know, and then all
1373
01:25:33.880 --> 01:25:36.840
of a sudden, I was like, Oh, it actually made me prouder.
1374
01:25:38.079 --> 01:25:39.880
It actually made me prouder. I
was like, you mean to tell
1375
01:25:39.920 --> 01:25:43.960
me that, Like, I'm in
the same business as the person who just
1376
01:25:44.000 --> 01:25:45.520
by being polite to me when I
pick up a pizza makes my day better.
1377
01:25:46.199 --> 01:25:48.439
I like it. I mean,
I enjoy that. I'm okay with
1378
01:25:48.520 --> 01:25:51.760
that I am not better than anybody. Yeah, I like that. So
1379
01:25:53.039 --> 01:25:56.880
because I've always believed that, you
know, a little something can make somebody's
1380
01:25:56.920 --> 01:25:59.319
whole day. Yeah, anyway,
I heard that too. I mean I
1381
01:25:59.640 --> 01:26:02.479
work in a customer service field right
now, and the littlest things that I
1382
01:26:02.479 --> 01:26:05.399
can do sometimes it makes people entire
day. Just makes me feel better,
1383
01:26:05.479 --> 01:26:09.880
Like, even if it's just something
that I don't have to really lift a
1384
01:26:09.920 --> 01:26:12.800
thumb up to do much. It's
like just a simple task of either calling
1385
01:26:12.840 --> 01:26:16.479
a store and verifying something for them, it makes their day incredible sometimes and
1386
01:26:16.520 --> 01:26:19.600
it's just that little extra effort.
Oh yeah, I get praised a lot
1387
01:26:19.640 --> 01:26:23.960
for great customer service at my web
store, because if you like your disc
1388
01:26:24.000 --> 01:26:26.960
arrives broken, I'll send you a
new one like immediately, Yeah, and
1389
01:26:27.039 --> 01:26:30.840
people will get thrilled. You also
ship immediately to truck try to Yeah.
1390
01:26:30.840 --> 01:26:31.720
I mean, I mean like I've
been sitting with you, like when we've
1391
01:26:31.720 --> 01:26:33.560
been watching movies and you're pause it
and you're like, we got I gotta
1392
01:26:33.560 --> 01:26:36.800
take some of the post office for
the post office right now? All right?
1393
01:26:36.840 --> 01:26:40.640
So you're ready to wrap the show
up? Sure? Al right?
1394
01:26:40.800 --> 01:26:45.960
So our budget is thirty million for
this show? Do I get paid now?
1395
01:26:45.079 --> 01:26:48.159
Finally? Because I kind of would
like to be reimbursed for all the
1396
01:26:48.159 --> 01:26:51.239
cameras and microphones. So the budget
of the film is thirty million. It
1397
01:26:51.239 --> 01:26:55.359
opens on November eighteenth, twenty twenty
two. What do you think the box
1398
01:26:55.399 --> 01:27:00.359
office was? I don't think it
was a massive hit, so I don't
1399
01:27:00.359 --> 01:27:04.520
know what the opening opening weekend was. But the box office in total was
1400
01:27:04.560 --> 01:27:06.840
seventy nine point six million, OK. I was going to get some in
1401
01:27:06.840 --> 01:27:10.920
the seventies actually, believe it or
not. Grossing thirty eight point five million
1402
01:27:10.920 --> 01:27:13.960
in the US and Canada and forty
one point one million in other territories.
1403
01:27:14.199 --> 01:27:17.119
That's really good filming. Began September
third, twenty twenty one, and Savannah
1404
01:27:17.119 --> 01:27:21.840
Georgia also shot on Jeko Island shore. In twenty nineteen, Emma Stone was
1405
01:27:21.840 --> 01:27:26.319
attached to play the lead role with
Alexander Payne directing, but in twenty twenty
1406
01:27:26.399 --> 01:27:30.560
one Anya Taylor Joy replaced Stone and
My Lad replaced Pain. That would have
1407
01:27:30.560 --> 01:27:35.439
been a fascinating movie with Alexander Payne
in charge. No shit, so so
1408
01:27:35.560 --> 01:27:41.199
Will Ferrell in. Then we're trying
to get Alexander Payne. Yeah, that
1409
01:27:41.239 --> 01:27:44.319
would have been a very different film
here. Yeah. Will Tracy, one
1410
01:27:44.319 --> 01:27:47.760
of the Riders, dined at Cornelius
Sumajit Restaurant, an island restaurant out in
1411
01:27:47.840 --> 01:27:51.239
Bergen, Norway, during a honeymoon, and later suggested the story to seth
1412
01:27:51.319 --> 01:27:56.520
Reeves, inspired by the experience.
Several figures from the world of fine dining
1413
01:27:56.560 --> 01:27:59.960
were brought on as consultants of the
film, including chef Dominique Crenn, who
1414
01:28:00.119 --> 01:28:04.760
recreated several dishes from her San Francisco
restaurant at tour at tell your cren for
1415
01:28:05.159 --> 01:28:10.279
I Don't Name No for the fictional
restaurant Hawthorne. Second unit director David Gelb,
1416
01:28:10.399 --> 01:28:15.039
who was brought on to recreate filmmaking
style from his Netflix docuseries Chef's Table,
1417
01:28:15.039 --> 01:28:17.159
which is mentioned in the movie.
Yeah, yeah, that's that's interesting.
1418
01:28:17.520 --> 01:28:21.359
Seconds got herom tongue. Oh my
god, unprofessional. You just eat
1419
01:28:21.359 --> 01:28:25.600
the hair and keep going trying to
Oh my god, I swear. The
1420
01:28:25.760 --> 01:28:29.800
entire kitchen team were trained to actually
create the dishes, broken down station by
1421
01:28:29.800 --> 01:28:31.520
station, so that at any time
you look at them, they're all doing
1422
01:28:31.520 --> 01:28:34.239
the correct things they should be doing
for that dish. Were it real life
1423
01:28:34.239 --> 01:28:40.520
and not a movie. Ooh,
that sounds annoying to those people. The
1424
01:28:40.600 --> 01:28:43.439
unique dining room set up in the
film meant all that. Ad meant that
1425
01:28:43.479 --> 01:28:45.640
all the actors playing the diners were
almost always on stage and were expected to
1426
01:28:45.640 --> 01:28:48.920
improvise in the background when their close
ups weren't being filmed. To keep things
1427
01:28:48.960 --> 01:28:51.600
fresh and to get to know each
other, Joy and Holt would tell each
1428
01:28:51.600 --> 01:28:55.800
other personal stories with key details change
while filming, then try to guess what
1429
01:28:55.840 --> 01:28:59.159
was fiction and what was fact between
takes. I would be like, hey,
1430
01:28:59.399 --> 01:29:04.520
heyho, all you say peas and
carrots and nothing more. A newspaper
1431
01:29:04.600 --> 01:29:09.119
article on Chef's remo. I read
that one ready. Yeah, Jesus Leguizambo
1432
01:29:09.359 --> 01:29:13.000
based his character of a washed up
action star on Steven Sagal, whom he
1433
01:29:13.039 --> 01:29:15.760
called a horrible human due to a
particularly bad experience while working with him on
1434
01:29:15.840 --> 01:29:20.079
executive decision. Multiple references to Diaz
playing a cook in one of the movies
1435
01:29:20.119 --> 01:29:24.319
maybe a nod to the Under Siege
films where Sagal also played a chef.
1436
01:29:24.399 --> 01:29:27.000
Yeah, he did. He played
a cook on a Just a Cook.
1437
01:29:27.199 --> 01:29:30.560
I'm just a cook. The burger
consumed by Margo was a real burger,
1438
01:29:30.560 --> 01:29:32.920
as opposed to the foods seen throughout
the movie that discreated by Sloan were prop
1439
01:29:32.960 --> 01:29:38.079
foods. Everyone was so hungry on
set watching Anya eating the burger that Leguizamo
1440
01:29:38.239 --> 01:29:42.720
ordered five guys burgers for and fries
for the entire cast. Oh, they
1441
01:29:42.720 --> 01:29:45.520
only had thirty million. They didn't
have a fucking catering. Come Carolyn not.
1442
01:29:45.399 --> 01:29:49.039
The movie's digital release came just a
few days before Norma, an iconic
1443
01:29:49.079 --> 01:29:54.640
fine dining restaurant in Copenhagen whose traits
locally sourced ingredients, exclusive clientele, and
1444
01:29:54.680 --> 01:29:58.960
an aura of riggity informality likely inspired
or at least parallel to, Hawthorne,
1445
01:29:59.000 --> 01:30:02.680
announced that it would close down a
linked article incidentally mentioned criticism of Norma for
1446
01:30:02.720 --> 01:30:06.840
mistreating and underpaying its workers, much
like the oppressive work environment of Hawthorne's kitchen.
1447
01:30:08.119 --> 01:30:11.800
Although this problem is a pervasive one
throughout the food industry, some even
1448
01:30:11.800 --> 01:30:15.920
claim that the movie's eerie similarities with
reality may have been the final straw for
1449
01:30:15.960 --> 01:30:18.680
the controversy plug Norma. This makes
the finale where the restaurant everyone in it
1450
01:30:18.720 --> 01:30:24.119
is destroyed slightly and uncomfortable parallel,
Oh, because before it was hilarious and
1451
01:30:24.199 --> 01:30:29.159
joyful. Lastly, boy, there
are twelve dining guests, just like the
1452
01:30:29.199 --> 01:30:30.880
apostles in the Last Supper. Okay, yeah, yeah, that makes sense.
1453
01:30:30.920 --> 01:30:38.800
So before we do our final thought, Yes, sir, what's the
1454
01:30:38.840 --> 01:30:43.520
most expensive thing you've ever eaten?
Flemings? When I went to my parents?
1455
01:30:43.600 --> 01:30:51.199
When I went with my parents to
Fleming's steakhouse, that was a You
1456
01:30:51.239 --> 01:30:54.960
don't have to know the exact numbers, you just ballpark. It's fine.
1457
01:30:55.039 --> 01:30:57.720
No, I'm trying to think of
what the dinner the dinner for me?
1458
01:30:57.840 --> 01:31:03.399
Name one thing you ate even visits
twice baked potato. Wow, your parents
1459
01:31:03.479 --> 01:31:08.199
are cheap anyway. So it was
me, my mom, my dad,
1460
01:31:08.720 --> 01:31:13.319
my sister, and my my ex
eight hundred and fifty dollars bill. They
1461
01:31:13.319 --> 01:31:17.239
don't make an eight hundred and fifty
dollars bill, you know what I mean?
1462
01:31:18.520 --> 01:31:21.199
So, I are you gonna talk
what I think you're going to talk
1463
01:31:21.199 --> 01:31:25.079
about about lime cottsu? Yeah?
I knew it. Well, yeah,
1464
01:31:25.079 --> 01:31:29.079
because I am not a person who
spends an immense amount of money on food
1465
01:31:29.119 --> 01:31:32.239
generally, but well, that is
an imense amount of money food sometimes.
1466
01:31:32.600 --> 01:31:36.960
But when I was I was working
down in Miami on a documentary that I
1467
01:31:36.960 --> 01:31:43.319
had been hired on too, and
the producer, the executive producer, very
1468
01:31:43.359 --> 01:31:48.119
wealthy, and he took me to
two different restaurants. One was a sushi
1469
01:31:48.239 --> 01:31:55.000
restaurant and one was a steakhouse.
Neither of them had prices on the menus.
1470
01:31:55.479 --> 01:32:00.159
Yeah. The crazy thing is,
so the sushi resta served lime caught
1471
01:32:00.159 --> 01:32:03.439
sushi, which means that the fish
is caught on a line, not in
1472
01:32:03.479 --> 01:32:06.840
a net, which means that they
are bled before they die, which means
1473
01:32:06.880 --> 01:32:13.840
their meat is more supple and less
bitter. So we go there, no
1474
01:32:14.399 --> 01:32:18.880
prices on the menus, and as
I'm like about to order a entre,
1475
01:32:19.600 --> 01:32:24.079
he says, oh no, don't
order like a full entree just order stuff
1476
01:32:24.439 --> 01:32:27.640
and then when they come back,
he's Romanian, and when they come back,
1477
01:32:27.840 --> 01:32:30.840
just order more if you want more. And I was like, how
1478
01:32:30.880 --> 01:32:32.960
does that work? He's like,
watch. So he just like ordered a
1479
01:32:33.079 --> 01:32:35.640
role, and then when the role
was gone, he just ordered even more
1480
01:32:35.640 --> 01:32:41.560
and more. So we must have
ordered between the two of us like sixteen
1481
01:32:41.640 --> 01:32:45.720
or seventeen times. The check was
more than one thousand dollars. Oh sure.
1482
01:32:47.880 --> 01:32:51.720
And then when I went to the
steakhouse, the check for the two
1483
01:32:51.800 --> 01:32:57.399
of us was over six hundred dollars. Damn. I got veal because I
1484
01:32:57.399 --> 01:33:00.760
had Oh I would I had never
had veal. Oh yeah. He was
1485
01:33:00.880 --> 01:33:02.359
very insistent. He was like,
get whatever you want. Well, it's
1486
01:33:02.399 --> 01:33:05.039
not like you can really tell what
was most expensive. They're no fucking price
1487
01:33:05.119 --> 01:33:09.119
rices. Yeah, but no.
So those are the most expensive meals of
1488
01:33:09.119 --> 01:33:11.760
my life. And they were within
two days of each other. That's awesome.
1489
01:33:12.039 --> 01:33:15.199
So anyway, but prior to that, it would have been like going
1490
01:33:15.199 --> 01:33:18.640
to the Pine Club or something around
daton C. So what's your final thought
1491
01:33:18.640 --> 01:33:21.039
on this movie? Dave? This
is a buy it for me. I'm
1492
01:33:21.039 --> 01:33:24.640
gonna give it a buy it with
a caveat that it may be a rented
1493
01:33:24.720 --> 01:33:29.039
for others. This the reason that
I love the menu is because it is
1494
01:33:29.359 --> 01:33:35.359
a great unveiling of obsession and of
I would say like it's a it's a
1495
01:33:35.399 --> 01:33:41.800
toss between obsession and perversion material like
materialism. How do you mean, because
1496
01:33:41.840 --> 01:33:45.279
you have you have the the people
that are there, the people that have
1497
01:33:45.279 --> 01:33:48.239
been there eleven times, and you've
got the fact that Slowak has lost his
1498
01:33:48.479 --> 01:33:51.359
he's lost his desire to cook.
You've got people that are coming there just
1499
01:33:51.399 --> 01:33:56.239
basically for the gram as we said
earlier, and this kind of shows everybody
1500
01:33:56.279 --> 01:34:00.119
in a light that is both showing
the consequences that they had, like he
1501
01:34:00.159 --> 01:34:01.920
points out and everything, but also
on top of that, we get to
1502
01:34:01.920 --> 01:34:08.640
see we get to see a display
of how people I'm trying to think I
1503
01:34:08.640 --> 01:34:13.159
want to word this, when you
are faced with when you're faced with the
1504
01:34:13.159 --> 01:34:15.439
consequences of your actions, but also
you see what it has done to another
1505
01:34:15.479 --> 01:34:19.479
person, it makes you kind of
accept the faith that you've been given in
1506
01:34:19.520 --> 01:34:21.840
a sense, I mean, when
you're not a sociopath, that would be
1507
01:34:21.840 --> 01:34:25.560
correct. You know I'm not one
of those things. Well, don't forget.
1508
01:34:25.600 --> 01:34:29.159
There was a moment when Anya Taylor
Joy was being asked about being a
1509
01:34:29.239 --> 01:34:31.520
prostitute. Yeah, and she said, I get to meet people like you.
1510
01:34:31.760 --> 01:34:33.760
Yeah, And the chef was just
like, there's no one like me,
1511
01:34:34.079 --> 01:34:38.720
like, and she just chuckles,
Yeah, because there's tons of people.
1512
01:34:38.800 --> 01:34:41.319
No, I mean you you nailed
the god complex to one hundred percent.
1513
01:34:41.359 --> 01:34:43.720
Oh yeah, I mean, and
that's That's another reason I love this
1514
01:34:43.800 --> 01:34:47.000
movie is because the performance is in
it. I mean, Finds Alone is
1515
01:34:47.039 --> 01:34:54.039
amazing, but between Legazamo's character and
you have Anya Taylor Joy, you've got
1516
01:34:55.039 --> 01:34:59.159
Nicholas Holt. I mean, everybody
keeps you watching this movie because you don't
1517
01:34:59.159 --> 01:35:01.279
know what's gonna happen. It's a
great ensemble. Yeah, phenomenal ensemble.
1518
01:35:01.560 --> 01:35:05.560
I'm gonna give it a rent it. I think that if this film ages,
1519
01:35:05.600 --> 01:35:09.239
well, yeah, in ten years, it would be a by it.
1520
01:35:09.399 --> 01:35:13.000
Okay. I feel like it's it's
rare that a movie is a buy
1521
01:35:13.119 --> 01:35:15.840
it when it's only like two years
old. I get that not always rare,
1522
01:35:15.920 --> 01:35:20.600
but I just feel like, do
I have to own it? Maybe?
1523
01:35:20.600 --> 01:35:24.880
But I'm really into artsy films,
and whenever I give the buy it
1524
01:35:25.000 --> 01:35:28.000
rent it, I try to kind
of think broader than myself, more fun
1525
01:35:28.039 --> 01:35:30.319
film. I mean this. This
isn't necessarily a fun movie, but I'm
1526
01:35:30.319 --> 01:35:33.199
talking broadness. I'm just trying to
think about Like, yeah, I like
1527
01:35:33.640 --> 01:35:39.399
really heady bull crap. But do
I think that anybody listening to this should
1528
01:35:39.399 --> 01:35:43.880
buy it if you're into that kind
of thing. Yeah, but you'll know
1529
01:35:43.960 --> 01:35:45.119
by the end of the film if
you would rather buy it than rent it.
1530
01:35:45.159 --> 01:35:47.600
But I definitely think it's a rent. It's worth paying, you know,
1531
01:35:47.680 --> 01:35:51.640
five six bucks to watch it tonight
if you haven't seen under two hours.
1532
01:35:51.920 --> 01:35:55.600
And I mean that that that alone
is as worth it my opinion,
1533
01:35:55.600 --> 01:36:00.439
special special indeed, so recommendations.
We always like the show. I read
1534
01:36:00.479 --> 01:36:01.840
one of your recommendations. You stole
mine. You want to give it,
1535
01:36:01.880 --> 01:36:05.279
and y'all give the other. All
right, you give your first one.
1536
01:36:04.760 --> 01:36:09.279
I fucking knew you were going to
pick that one, because didn't I introduce
1537
01:36:09.319 --> 01:36:10.960
you to that film? Oh dude, I saw that movie. I rented
1538
01:36:10.960 --> 01:36:15.159
that movie at Family Video. You
never rented anything that kill Family video all
1539
01:36:15.159 --> 01:36:18.720
by your sight? Did that family
video with friends? Now I know you're
1540
01:36:18.800 --> 01:36:24.319
lying, Go ahead and give yours. Oh I was gonna recommend Bitter Feast.
1541
01:36:24.720 --> 01:36:29.199
It was a twenty twenty ten twenty
ten. That was a indie film
1542
01:36:29.239 --> 01:36:31.439
starring Josh Leonard, famous for being
in The Blair Witch Project, and James
1543
01:36:31.880 --> 01:36:35.880
Lgrow who is what's his face on
Point Break and Justified. I can't think
1544
01:36:35.920 --> 01:36:40.199
of his character named Roach. He's
Roach on Point Break well, and they're
1545
01:36:40.199 --> 01:36:44.399
both phenomenal in it. But it's
about a chef who kidnaps a reviewer.
1546
01:36:45.000 --> 01:36:49.079
No, Runny yellows it's an excellent
film. I'm mad. I'm just mad
1547
01:36:49.119 --> 01:36:51.920
you had there, because that's one
of those movies I love that's really under
1548
01:36:51.920 --> 01:36:56.760
the radar. And I think Bitter
Feast is one totally worth watching, and
1549
01:36:57.079 --> 01:37:00.159
I'm gonna recommend one that also focuses
on obsession. Twenty fifteen's Burnt with Bradley
1550
01:37:00.199 --> 01:37:04.479
Cooper of Jones is a chef who
destroyed his career with drugs and diva behavior.
1551
01:37:04.600 --> 01:37:09.079
He cleans up and returns to London, determined to redeem himself by spearheading
1552
01:37:09.079 --> 01:37:14.000
a top restaurant that can gain three
Michelin stars. No, actually I like
1553
01:37:14.079 --> 01:37:15.279
the movie. I do. I
don't think it's Burns. I'd just like
1554
01:37:15.359 --> 01:37:18.920
to tease about the fact that nothing
gets burnt in the whole movie. Feelings
1555
01:37:18.920 --> 01:37:24.399
get burned. Maybe, so you
want to know what we're talking about next
1556
01:37:24.399 --> 01:37:26.359
week, not in the least.
Well, you know how we said we're
1557
01:37:26.359 --> 01:37:30.439
gonna take a break from the nineties, No, we lied Urban Legend from
1558
01:37:30.560 --> 01:37:33.800
nineteen ninety eight. I cannot remember
what her name was that requested it,
1559
01:37:33.800 --> 01:37:38.319
but this was a birthday request for
one of our listeners and a big personal
1560
01:37:38.359 --> 01:37:41.079
favorite of mine. I'm really really
happy to talk about this one. Yeah,
1561
01:37:41.199 --> 01:37:44.640
Urban Legend beabe and that is going
to be a fun one to discuss.
1562
01:37:44.880 --> 01:37:46.760
And I'll get to talk about a
horror movie while I'm in the midst
1563
01:37:46.760 --> 01:37:51.079
of directing one, that is true. Hooray. Yeah. Well, before
1564
01:37:51.119 --> 01:37:54.439
we get out of here, we
do have emails, yes you told me,
1565
01:37:55.079 --> 01:37:56.880
but I don't have them, so
you got to read them? Well,
1566
01:37:56.920 --> 01:38:00.840
yeah, because you can't read.
So these folks wrote us at do
1567
01:38:00.920 --> 01:38:04.600
you even Movie pod at gmail dot
com. The first one is from a
1568
01:38:04.640 --> 01:38:11.439
gentleman named Kevin Potthoff. The subject
line, I already like it says great
1569
01:38:11.439 --> 01:38:15.199
showy, awesome show today. Guys
really enjoyed it. So this was on
1570
01:38:15.560 --> 01:38:20.399
the day that we released the Beekeeper
episode. Hope you guys start pulling some
1571
01:38:20.479 --> 01:38:25.399
movies from the nineteen sixties and seventies. We'd love to. I would also
1572
01:38:25.520 --> 01:38:30.399
like to hear your take on Monster
Squad and the original House on Haunted Hill.
1573
01:38:30.720 --> 01:38:33.800
Okay, thanks for the entertainment.
It makes the day go by.
1574
01:38:34.319 --> 01:38:38.600
I am also enjoying Weekly Spooky.
Well, thank you for checking on my
1575
01:38:38.640 --> 01:38:41.399
other podcast as well. Well,
I'm gonna tell you right now, Monster
1576
01:38:41.439 --> 01:38:44.479
Squad is my birthday movie. That's
for this year. Okay, so because
1577
01:38:44.520 --> 01:38:48.359
it's been my favorite for since before
you were so, we're gonna do Monster
1578
01:38:48.399 --> 01:38:53.279
Squad at my birthday, which is
September, early September. As far as
1579
01:38:53.359 --> 01:38:57.079
nineteen sixties and seventies, I mean, I'm down. I would love to
1580
01:38:57.119 --> 01:39:00.359
pull some order over onto the show
for sure, because I have been into
1581
01:39:00.359 --> 01:39:02.479
a lot of noir lately from the
forties and fifties, and I think some
1582
01:39:02.520 --> 01:39:05.079
of those would make pretty good episodes. And some of them are an hour
1583
01:39:05.119 --> 01:39:10.560
and fifteen minutes long. That's very
common actually. And then we have one
1584
01:39:10.600 --> 01:39:14.560
from a go Wow, this is
a lot of recommendations. Oh okay,
1585
01:39:14.640 --> 01:39:16.680
we have one from our good buddy
Eric Whiting. Oh, mister Whiting,
1586
01:39:16.800 --> 01:39:19.560
Yeah, not only a listener of
the show, but a good friend of
1587
01:39:19.560 --> 01:39:26.039
mine. My editor often assistant director
on films, and the headline is the
1588
01:39:26.039 --> 01:39:30.359
subject line is movie options for future
episodes. Okay, this is actually a
1589
01:39:30.359 --> 01:39:34.399
really good list. I'm excited.
Longtime listener, first time emailer. Here
1590
01:39:34.439 --> 01:39:38.680
are a handful of movies that could
be good choices for future episodes. Some
1591
01:39:38.840 --> 01:39:42.399
are favorites of mine, some are
ones I don't often find podcasts about.
1592
01:39:42.439 --> 01:39:46.119
All are ripe for discussion and reaction. Hell yeah, first one Blood Simple
1593
01:39:46.319 --> 01:39:53.399
Yes, Second One, Cable Guy
Yes. Third, Cecil Be Demented.
1594
01:39:53.600 --> 01:39:57.840
Yes, forever this one. I've
not heard a Flight of the Intruder from
1595
01:39:57.920 --> 01:39:59.920
nineteen ninety one. That's a solid
flick, I think, and I think
1596
01:40:00.119 --> 01:40:02.760
just watched it recently because I follow
Whiting on Letterbox. That looks good too.
1597
01:40:03.000 --> 01:40:06.880
Maniac from nineteen eighty Yeah, we
do Maniac. Nope from twenty twenty
1598
01:40:06.920 --> 01:40:09.760
seven, I would love to do. No. I Love Nope as well.
1599
01:40:10.319 --> 01:40:14.399
No Speratu, the Werner herd z
Og remake I'll Be Down Seconds from
1600
01:40:14.479 --> 01:40:18.359
nineteen sixty six. That is a
political thriller. I want to say.
1601
01:40:18.399 --> 01:40:23.199
I can't remember Serpent in the Rainbow
from eighty eight. I fucking love Surfring
1602
01:40:23.239 --> 01:40:26.119
the Rainbow ooh, this one's really
and Small Soldiers from nytwo. Yeah,
1603
01:40:26.159 --> 01:40:31.479
I love Small Soldiers of course my
birthday movie actually hell oh, and whatever
1604
01:40:31.479 --> 01:40:34.439
gets them away from Slaughter High.
Yeah, yeah, you'll take that one.
1605
01:40:34.720 --> 01:40:39.159
Since they come up in discussion a
lot. One of the original three
1606
01:40:39.239 --> 01:40:43.279
Jack Ryan movies could also be a
great choice. Patriot Games is the most
1607
01:40:43.319 --> 01:40:45.560
nostalgic for me. I love patriotri
Games. I need to revisit the Jack
1608
01:40:45.600 --> 01:40:49.479
Ryan series. Hunt for at October
was probably the one that I watched the
1609
01:40:49.520 --> 01:40:56.680
most, though, Growing Up Fair
fair enough. And then the last line
1610
01:40:56.720 --> 01:41:00.560
is if you're willing to break the
availability rule the cook a thief, his
1611
01:41:00.640 --> 01:41:03.319
wife and her lover from nineteen eighty
nine, I just so happen to have
1612
01:41:03.359 --> 01:41:08.000
that on Blu Ray and Happiness from
nineteen ninety eight. I don't know about
1613
01:41:08.039 --> 01:41:10.800
that. I mean, if we
don't want to review Happiness, we could
1614
01:41:10.800 --> 01:41:14.520
at least review like Palindromes or something
Welcome to the Dollhouse or Welcome to All
1615
01:41:14.560 --> 01:41:17.079
House tat Salons. I don't wrong
Whiting. I love happiness, you know,
1616
01:41:17.119 --> 01:41:21.560
I love happiness. That is just
a tough one. It's too close
1617
01:41:21.600 --> 01:41:26.279
to home on account of you know, Dave being a uh shut up what
1618
01:41:26.720 --> 01:41:30.039
That movie is a tough watch for
anybody. And also, like you said,
1619
01:41:30.079 --> 01:41:33.159
availability wise until Criterion supposedly puts out
that new four K, I don't
1620
01:41:33.159 --> 01:41:39.520
know when it's gonna get available again. You want to tune a sandwich?
1621
01:41:41.239 --> 01:41:43.159
All right, Well, we're gonna
get out of here, guys, but
1622
01:41:43.279 --> 01:41:45.479
