The team has rested up at Minzewald and gotten fully strapped UP. It's time to potato-fy the last of the yule lads, defuse the bomb, and send Santa back to his own plane for another year. Tingle sticks to the shadows, Chase channels the Little Drummer Boy, Pfeffer does insane amounts of minty damage, and Skeleton with a Gun keeps the crowd under control. Will it be enough? Will this one-shot end in temporary triumph or permanent winter?Join the BCBP Patreon at patreon.com/bcbparty. Gift a subscription to our show at patreon.com/bcbparty/gift.

The team has reunited! Von Minze introduces the team to his homeland Minzewald, where they can rest and regroup.

The team has been split! Snowman with a Gun and Von Minze take an increasingly warm sleigh ride up to arctic research station NP-25, where Chase is being held prisoner by the Yule Lads. Tingle tries to get the Arctic Express tickets he's owed after betraying the team. Will the group forgive Tingle? Can they find the nuclear armaments before the world is imploded?

Strolling along the cobbled streets of Markhall, the team tries to beat the Yule Lads to finding Carl Davis, the scientist. Chase Sullivan is right at home in this cheery snowy town, but Tingle must face the memories he made in the city, enforcing the cheer in the bloodiest way possible. Should the team try to track down Carl's house and potentially lead the Yule Lads right to him? Or try a more circuitous route?Join the BCBP Patreon at patreon.com/bcbparty.

The gang discovers what the Yule Lads wanted with the Naughty or Nice list, and it sends them to Chase's hometown, Markhall. Unfortunately, the only way there is through the dire Christmas Tree Forest, where the air smells of mulled wine and the spirit of the season threatens to possess the unaware. What creatures lurk in these dark piney woods? Are these characters more focused than the main podcast characters, or somehow even LESS?Join the BCBP Patreon at patreon.com/bcbparty.

The Yule Lads have attacked the town of Garland, where all the elves of Santa's Workshop make toys and goodies. They freed Santa before he could be forced back to his plane of existence, and now the whole holiday world is in danger!

Do you want to join them, head over to Patreon and you don't have to donate as much as they do, but we'd really appreciate anything that you can give to us. More about Patreon coming a little bit later. On with the episode, my darlings. [theme] JAZZA:  Welcome to the Queer Movie Podcast, celebrating the best— ROWAN:   —and worst— JAZZA:   —in LGBTQ plus cinema one glorious genre at a time. ROWAN:  I'm Rowan Ellis. JAZZA:  And I am Jazza John. ROWAN:  Each episode we discuss a movie from a different genre of cinema. JAZZA:  This episode's genre is— JAZZA AND ROWAN: Queer Chiller. JAZZA:  It's so cold in here. ROWAN:  I—Yeah, fully, I would say everyone I do not understand what this genre is. It's like a thriller, but more chill. I don't—but yeah, you're right, Jazza is right. This is like what everyone has been describing it as. Like, if you go on the Wikipedia article for this movie, literally the quotes from critics call it a chiller. And I'm like, we're behind, baby. We—we need to—we run a podcast about genres and we're like, what the hell does this even mean? JAZZA:  You know what, it's handy for us because we've already done queer thriller. I think. ROWAN:  That's true. So this technically is a different genre. JAZZA:  It is technically different genre, sure. Today, we're gonna be talking about the M. Night Shyamalan adaptation of the Paul Tremblay book, Cabin at the End of the World,  Knock at the Cabin. Not to be confused with the 2011 film, Cabin in the Woods, which is much better. ROWAN:  I mean, yeah, that doesn't [1:45] I feel like it needs any kind of argument from me. That's very obviously true. But before we get started, sexing some grasshoppers, Jazza, every single—Jazza—listen everyone. I think it's become clear by now that Jazza writes the scripts for this beginning bit and often they write it literally like [2:02] together, and I don't look at it beforehand because I'm an idiot who trust them. So I guess that's a reference to them catching grasshoppers and discussing whether their boy grasshoppers or girl grasshoppers or whatever. Okay. JAZZA:  Yeah, she say going around. sexing grasshoppers. ROWAN:  [2:19] JAZZA:  [2:19] is called when you—when you put down like the sex of the animal, it's called sexing. Thank you [2:25] for giving me that information. ROWAN:  Okay, sure. So I'm so sorry, let me start that extremely normal sentence again. But before we start sexing some grasshoppers Jazza, what's the gayest thing you've done since the last episode? JAZZA:  So I've got a pretty cool one. I'm— I—I haven't been legitimately intimate famous, arguably ever. And so me getting noticed off of the internet doesn't happen very often. So when it does, it's a lovely little special occasion. I have been recognized on Grindr in New York, this week by the lovely Jaime. Hello, Jamie, thank you for listening. ROWAN:  Hi, Jamie. JAZZA:   Hi, Jamie. I will say we—we exchanged a couple of pleasantries. No dick pics were exchanged. ROWAN:  Okay. Good to know. JAZZA:  I just want to make that very clear.  But thank you very much. If you see me on Grindr say hello. [3:16] ROWAN:  Sorry, I just wanna—just— just one quick follow-up question, Jazza. How far away was Jamie? JAZZA:  Jamie was—uh what was it?  ROWAN:  Because I know exactly how far away because you sent me the screencap of this conversation. JAZZA:  I did. Yeah. ROWAN:  And it was extremely [3:32] JAZZA:  Oh, it was a 100—no, it's 45 meters away. ROWAN:  Literally your roommate. JAZZA:  I have been— I have been staying in Hell's Kitchen Bay. And I think the grid stops at like someone is 200 meters away. So that's not extraordinary for this part of New York. Did I mention I live in New York? ROWAN:  No, I don't think you have.  JAZZA:  No, no. Okay. Cool. Rowan, how about you, what's the gayest thing you've done? ROWAN:  Honestly, I think it was watching episode three of The Last Of Us. That truly made me feel so gay. And we— I immediately after watching that episode, message Jazza to be like please can we do a little special episode, bonus episode of the podcast about episode three of The Last Of Us, so that is in the works hypothetically. JAZZA:  It is in the works. ROWAN:  Unless you never see it from us, in which case it was never—it was never in the works. JAZZA:  Allegations only. We're too late for kind of like the hype around the episode, but it is such a great episode. I think we are going to make at some point when we have some time. ROWAN:  Yeah. I mean, please don't tell me that because I'm genuinely thinking of doing my March video about quiz zombie media. So let's just say it's like always relevant. Like— JAZZA:  Yeah. ROWAN:  —zombie constantly alive, never dead. JAZZA:  Brilliant. [theme] JAZZA:  First, we're going to be talking about the background of M. Night Shyamalan and asking why? Well then be splitting the movie into three acts and discussing the plot with our usual sassiness. ROWAN:  Jazza then has some extra discussion for the end of the movie, which has me very excited with anticipation, because they haven't told me what the hell their bit of context is that they're going to talk about which— I don't think we've ever done that before. Normally, we tell each other too much. And we have to keep being like, save it for the podcast, stop telling me your opinion, stop talking to me like we're friends. We are already allowed to talk on the podcast. So we will be spoiling this movie as we do with every one of these episodes. So if you care about going into these things fresh, we would encourage you to watch it before listening to the rest of the episode. JAZZA:  So if you've come back, welcome back. For those of you who stayed, thanks for staying. Without further ado, let's sell the shit out of this air fryer and review Knock at the Cabin. [theme] ROWAN:  So really, with this movie, I was—we always talk about the context that we can do these movies in, and a lot of the time it's very obvious. And there's very obvious like the history of the genre, like with a horror episode, or the—the history of the movie was really interesting, or with the moonlight, things like that. With this one, I was like, I guess, the M. Night Shyamalan is like the interesting aspect of this movie, essentially. Other than you know, they let gays be main characters. And so— JAZZA:  How generous by the way. ROWAN:  How generous of them.  JAZZA:  Thank you so much for your allyship, Night. ROWAN:  So it has come to my attention that I feel like I was kind of growing up in the heyday of this man. Because I have spoken to some people who are younger, like not—not wildly young, but they are just like, not familiar with him. Because they just weren't old enough to watch his movies. Even though his movies were like 12 rated, they were sort of like, oooh, their horror movies— JAZZA:  Sure. ROWAN:  Kind of thing. So like 12 rated in that way. JAZZA:  The fans of M. Night Shyamalan that I am aware of tend to be our age,  a little bit older, like movie geeks.  ROWAN:  Yeah.  JAZZA:  And I think it's because he had some of the— some of the most iconic movies of like the late 90s and 2000s. ROWAN:  Yeah. And then he fell off a—fell off a [7:04] But the funny thing is, if so the way that people remember him, I think because of the Sixth Sense, which was like definitely this absolute breakout movie, which he—which he also wrote this— it came out as the same year as another film that he wrote, Stuart Little.  JAZZA:  Oh my god, really, I have— ROWAN:  1999 and— JAZZA:  No, shut up! ROWAN:  —did rewrite, She's all that.  JAZZA:  Wow.  ROWAN:  All 1999, an absolute stellar year. We don't talk enough about his incredible Stuart Little, where the twist was the very first moment of the movie where the child was a mouse.  JAZZA:  Yeah.  ROWAN:  So notoriously, he like has— JAZZA:  No one saw it coming.  ROWAN:  He has these big twists in his movies, that's what he's known for. However, a lot of people talk about the idea that he essentially like went downhill with The Village. I feel very strongly that The Village is not a bad movie, and that at the time that it came out, it was a well-received movie. And because of Lady in the Water, which came afterward two years later, in 2006, that people absolutely slated. Everyone wanted to be really cool, and sound like they had always known he was trashed hack. And so—and so they start hating on The Village to be like, oh, I knew before anyone else. I've always not liked him, which I think is very, very rude of them. JAZZA:  I agree. I think— I think The Village is well, it was his last movie that I enjoyed. Like I— ROWAN:  [8:25] Yeah, yeah. And people—people did enjoy it. And I—like genuinely, it's one of those movies where like, when you don't know the twist going into it, like that was so brilliantly done. And it made complete sense logically within the movie, and it all came together, and it was really interesting. And I think it's just when you know the twist, and then you come back to it with the attitude of like, this guy's a hack like the—he never might writes good stuff. Loads of people just retrospectively decided they hate that. But when you look at what he's done, he doesn't have some like, massive, like 10 feature film discography before that, where he was writing all these twists, right? He has like the Sixth Sense is his big one, Unbreakable, and then Signs. And then The Village.  JAZZA:  Yeah. ROWAN:  So it's not—and also obviously Stuart Little. But so it's really interesting to me that he—he managed to get such a huge name for himself, where it was seen as like this big fool of this iconic director after what is essentially like three features that have this element to them that he was known for. And so yeah, he essentially is known as the twist director. So he also essentially after The Village comes out has Lady in the Water that was the beginning of the end for him. He does the Last Airbender, which was [9:45] JAZZA:  Oh my God, [9:46]  ROWAN:  After Earth was him as well, which I forget because it—because the [9:51] JAZZA:  With Will Smith and— ROWAN:  Put onto Jaden Smith and Will Smith. Split which has a lot of like, question mark, question mark around it, and Glass, old which is the everyone ages on the beach one from two years ago now— JAZZA:  Yeah. ROWAN:  Because it was 2021. And now we've got Knock at the Cabin. But I will say there's like this to me this movie I mean— I feel like we've already sort of hinted at it. It's not necessarily pulling him back up to a Sixth Sense levels for either of us? JAZZA:  No. That's it.  ROWAN:  Yeah, that's—that's the review. JAZZA:  This is the thing, so he doesn't really do big studio pieces anymore. And I don't— I think it's the last [10:31] it's the last time that he worked with a big studio. And so most of his stuff now is it leans more indie. But the thing is, it all still does really, really well, because the M. Night Shyamalan brand is so strong. ROWAN:  Which is wild, because he has like three times as many flops as he does successful movies— JAZZA:  100% ROWAN:  —in terms of so—in terms of the way that people view the movies, and how critically they—they've been kind of responded to. JAZZA:  But he has been so influential I think, especially on people who, like I said, were around our age, maybe a little bit older, who were first being introduced to movies at the time? Like his early movies especially was such experiences. And I think in the— in the— in a similar way where stuff like the Lord of the Rings, and the way that that was such an influential series of movies for people who then went into work in the industry, I think that M. Night Shyamalan is that for a lot of media critics, for a lot of people who now work in this. And so there is that really firm fan base that he has, and it really is like a fanboy fan base. ROWAN:  Yeah. And I will I—so I think as well completely agree with you. And I think that it ties in even further because when you think about movies that have big twists in them, or big like shocking moments, they often come with a higher age rating. So the really classic twists throughout the time, you're looking at like the usual suspects, you're looking at seven things like that, where it's like there's either a big twist or a shocking moment. And so you're right, this idea of an introduction to cinema. I remember watching like The Sixth Sense, watching The Village, like when I was 12. And I was like 11,10, 11,12 years old, and like they were going to be the first movies I ever really got to see which had a massive twist in them. And that showed me what it could be because before that I'm really consuming children's media that ultimately doesn't really work, like twists aren't really a children's media thing so much, and it was this idea of like yeah, trusting your audience to be able to like piece things together by the end, they're being a puzzle to solve, they're being like some more other levels to it, other layers other than just being a good movie because like Sixth Sense I think, the reason why it works so well as a movie with a twist, will not spoil it even though I'm sure literally everyone knows the twist of that movie even if they haven't seen it. JAZZA:  I— can I tell you something? I've never seen the Six Sense all the way through. ROWAN:  Oh, it would destroy— it would fully destroy you. That is a film that I watched as like a 10-year-old, but you are a little bit baby and you absolutely be psychologically destroyed by it. JAZZA:  Oh, is it actually scary? [12:59] ROWAN:  Well, okay. So I hasten to add that I watched this when I was like 10 years old.  JAZZA:  Uh-huh. ROWAN:  So it was— it was not like terrifying. It was— I really liked horror movies as a kid. So it was like enjoyably frightening for me through the first watch. And it's one of those movies with a twist where you can watch it again after you know the twist and it becomes almost like a different movie to you.  JAZZA:  Yeah. ROWAN:  And you get you— every time you watch it, there is something you can get from it. There's clues you can spot, there's things that like are exciting, which I think is like the best kind of twist movie. It's one where the twist feels— JAZZA:  It changes. ROWAN:  —unpredictable, but inevitable at the same time. And so what this does though? Being known as someone who makes these twist movies, means that inevitably when people go and see his films, even though a lot of the films he's put out since don't have big twists, people expect that. And I definitely feel like that had a big effect on my experience watching this movie. Because I was really finding myself searching, it is a very simple movie and that it has a very like high concept premise of these four people believe that they will be saving the world by making this—essentially making this family choose to kill one of the three members of the family. They believe they will be able to save the world. That's a very high-concept premise, you can explain it in one sentence, and it's all basically in one location. So for me, I'm like, oh, this is primed for a twist. There is something going on here. So everything—I was looking at everything with meaning. I was trying to figure it out. I was like, I wrote so many notes of like things that I was predicting were going to happen. And then there just wasn't a twist at— but the movie also wasn't good enough for me to feel like it was better off not having one. JAZZA:  I think that is a twist. ROWAN:  Okay, controversial. Did I just— did I just misunderstand this extremely complex movie, Jazza?  JAZZA:  Well, I like I think— ROWAN:  It's a twist that gay? Because that is—that is a twist. JAZZA:  More or less? No, bae. I think the twist is the fact that the [15:00] meant to be the fact that the apocalypse is real. ROWAN:  Okay, but here's the thing Jazza, that's in the trailer.  JAZZA:  Yeah. I saw. I didn't watch the trailer.  ROWAN:  Oh, okay. JAZZA:  And I— from reading— from it and having now watched the trailer, I'm like oh, that is literally the whole movie.  ROWAN:  Yeah.  JAZZA:  And it would— if you had seen the trailer, it literally ruins the whole thing.  ROWAN:  Yeah.  JAZZA:  And I think although I will say, I think it marginally probably makes the viewing experience better. It doesn't make it significantly better. But I think that we're set up, we're meant to believe that this is for like fundamentalist, religious—religious bananas, bananas people, who have come here and like performing and doing a homophobia. And I think it's meant to be oh, this is actually real, and that's like the big twist. Oh, they— they kill one of their dads and now everything's fine. And that's meant to be a, wow, I can't believe you did that. But obviously, it doesn't really have that gravitas to it. ROWAN:  But to me, that's not a twist, that's just one of the options that are laid out at the beginning of the movie already.  JAZZA:  Yeah. And that is from the first like—after the first 20 minutes when they've tied the gay couple up. That is—that becomes what the movie is. The movie is oh, either this thing happens or this thing happens.  ROWAN:  Yeah. JAZZA:  And one of the things happens.  ROWAN:  And so I was always searching for that third thing or the twist. And I had a bunch of idea. I was like listen, buddy, M, my friend. I got some options for you that I can point out as I go through. I also made my notes in the cinema. I watched this in the cinema, and so they are so incoherent in terms of the—oh, Jazza also did. I'm looking at some of these notes and I'm like, I really hope I can remember what plot point this goes with. Because one is just in all caps, baby got a gun. So I'm hoping that I can figure— I'm assuming that's the child got the gun at some point. JAZZA:  If the child, I don't think he gets the gun at any point [16:56] ROWAN:  Oh, I think baby might have been one of the guys then.  JAZZA:  Yeah, yeah, yeah it is. ROWAN:  I think maybe Eric is baby. I also have— JAZZA:  Andrew. I can't believe you're mixing up the gays.  ROWAN:  I'm so sorry. Leonard what? I also wrote down,  I writt— I read this out to myself just now, and I was like why did I put rip on, on there? And I was like, oh, it's because the note is meant to be RIP Ron. So yeah, some clearly, some very intellectual notes, which you will know if you've listened to the podcast before. It's entirely what this podcast is about, intellect all the way. I will say I might save it for the end, but do you know anything about the book it was based on?  JAZZA:  Yeah, and the book is better, apparently. I've never read the book.  ROWAN:  So do you know the big—the—the difference? The ending?  JAZZA:  Well, there's two big differences.  ROWAN:  Okay. Should we talk about the ending difference at the end, wHen we talk about the end?  JAZZA:  I think let's just do it now. ROWAN:  Spoilers, guys. JAZZA:  I mean, we've given them the spoiler warning [17:49] So the first difference is the fact that when it's shot and killed. ROWAN:  Yes.  JAZZA:  So then, because it was an accident, she doesn't count as a willing sacrifice in like the weird fucked up law of this universe. And so then you have the gay couple who have now got a dead child. Now have to kill one of the other ones, and only— the only one of them is left and has to like, be alone for the rest of their life. Fucking depressing. Highest stakes, I wanted that. But I think M. Night Shyamalan is too much of a pussy to kill the child. ROWAN:  I like how in the movie if you know the—the story how it originally went that they were adopting, that's very funny, because they essentially are like, hey, kid, go all the way over there to the tree house, so that we can't accidentally shoot you in a scuffle like in the book. JAZZA:  Yeah. Exactly. ROWAN:  She's great. JAZZA:  And then the difference at the end from what I understand is that there's ambiguity that we actually never as a reader know, whether or not the apocalypse is real or not.  ROWAN:  Hmm, interesting. JAZZA:  They just kind of like drive off and that's left hanging. And I would have also preferred that to the very on-the-nose kind of weird magical realism that the end of this movie has. ROWAN:  Oh boy. Well, I guess we'll get into that in this next section where we actually tell you from beginning to end, what was going on and what we were thinking about it while we were watching. That I was about to be like The Cabin in the Woods, The Knock at the—The Knock at the Door—no.  JAZZA:  The Cabin in the— ROWAN:  The Cabin door. Knock at the Cabin door? Knock at the Cabin. Knock on the cabin? JAZZA:  Wait, isn't it not at the cabin? ROWAN:  It can be on the—you wouldn't knock on the—knock on the door, but you would knock at the cabin.  JAZZA:  It's not. It's not. ROWAN:  Knock on—knock at— JAZZA:  At the cabin. You Knock at the Cabin. ROWAN:  As we discuss Knock at the Cabin. [theme] ROWAN:  Okay, so, Jazza do you have segments for this? Do you have acts? JAZZA:  Yes I do. ROWAN:  I find it really hard to place acts because of my ADHD, my sense of time is really fucked. So I can do acts when I have something in front of me and I can—I can check in with a timer to see like, is it around a third of the way? So I don't have the acts, so I'm very willing to bow to your knowledge and your expertise on this. JAZZA:  Sure. I will be honest I have very much forced a round peg into a square hole here with the party this afternoon, but I— ROWAN:  I was gonna say. JAZZA:  But I— I have forced it in, it is there— ROWAN:  Okay I love that. JAZZA:  —which kind of liberal, a really liberal idea of what a party is.  ROWAN:  Yeah. JAZZA:  In this case, it's murder. ROWAN:  Love that. For those who don't know, I feel like I do this every time I'm like for new— for new listeners. JAZZA:  Firstly, welcome. ROWAN:  Welcome. Also, when we split it the movie into those, we always have different names for the thirds. And for some reason, every single gay movie has a party and its aftermath is one of—at least one of the third. Sometimes two, sometimes even three. So I love that you were committed to that bit. And you have managed to theorize that murder is a party. Ah sorry, can—please continue, Jazza. JAZZA:  So my opening act is boyfriend twins, try S&M for the first time. ROWAN:  Oh, I love that. That's very—that's very clever, Jazza. JAZZA:  Thank you so much [21:10]  ROWAN:  Very witty. [21:12] JAZZA:  So we opened up with this movie with the breakout star of this film, uh Kristen Cui, the seven-year-old child—adopted child of the boyfriend twins. ROWAN:  Tell me why I thought you were about to say the breakout star, Dave Batista. Also fair, you know what, he's great. JAZZA:  Yeah. I actually don't think he was very good in this movie. ROWAN:  Wow. JAZZA:  Which I—apparently is controversial, but oh, well. So this young girl when is out in the garden, collecting grasshoppers. And as we said before, is sexing them, giving them names is doing like a school project, incredibly— incredibly cute. I don't know how you felt about the cinematography and stuff there. I thought it was beautiful, and I actually think this whole movie is really beautifully shot the way that they pan— ROWAN:  Yeah [22:06] JAZZA:  —through windows to the outside. The way that light is refracted, and the different [22:14] of light showing kind of like different stages of each day, I think it's really, really pretty, and the setting is stunning as well. Shyamalan decides to completely ruin that with um— ROWAN:  The movie. JAZZA:  Dutch angles of— with the movie, but also with Dutch angles throughout the whole of this opening thing. If anybody doesn't know, a Dutch angle is basically when you tilt the angle of the camera, so that everything is like a skew. And it's kind of like a bit of a mallet. It's not a very nuanced way of being able to show like huh, something here is off. So Wen is there collecting some grasshoppers and then Batista comes along and starts to make friends with her. But everything is at an angle. And I—I feel like I'm tilting my head throughout the whole dialogue that he has with the seven-year-old. They end up making friends, he's pretty charming. And then he goes well I'm—I'm really sad because I'm going to have to do something really terrible Wen. You should go in and get your Daddy's. And then we see three other people walking up the path towards the cabin where Wen is staying with her two daddies,  Daddy Eric, and Daddy Andrew. ROWAN:  So cute. I would like to point out that the cinematography—the cinematography, being good is really no surprise because the gu—the guy did the cinematography or coders to cinematographers who were listed, but the one who's like the really well-known one did the lighthouse, the Witch, the Northmen.  JAZZA:  Oh amazing. ROWAN:  Like, he—Yeah. This is not a surprise, and I also agree like I was watching this beginning and I had very high hopes. I really, really enjoyed this like really tense, there's like no music for this entire sequence like it's very unsettling. They keep doing like extreme close up. So just keep getting more and more extreme on their— JAZZA:  Yes. ROWAN:  —faces and very straight-on talking to each other. There is this real tension of a guy with Dave Batista's physique, with his the strength that he has, with his tattoos and with this very like still gentle calmness that you are so aware any second could just turn, and like that kid is dead. And so there's—you really do not know anything about this man, you don't know what his intentions are. And I think that also this idea of like there's a child who is on their own, who's being talked to by a stranger is like inherently a troubling tension-filled moment. I really thought it was interesting that they had this moment at the beginning where Wen basically tells him about having two dads and then it's like, all the Disney channel kids have one dad [24:43] JAZZA:  My teacher keeps on saying that it's so great that she— that I have two dad's, almost as if she doesn't actually think that and it's like oh, yeah. ROWAN:  Yeah. I was like Wen, you smart little cookie. But I like that little bit of commentary. JAZZA:  I love the little detail. They start showing things and I totally believe that Wen's favorite movie is Kiki's Delivery Service. I just loved that little detail. This opening scene had so much promise. I— It's—unfortunately the best bit of the movie. It was downhill from here for me. ROWAN:  Yes, agreed. And so they all as Jazza said, these three people come up this path and the entire mo—the entire like way through the scene, Leonard is like looking over as if he's like, waiting for something or someone. So like, again, this tension is building. And so she, very smart is like something is going on. These people do not seem nice. And so she runs to the cabin [25:35] start screaming, her dad's having a nice little bit of like wine and cheese on the back porch— JAZZA:  Yeah. ROWAN:  —to get inside because they were like— JAZZA: There's a half-eaten bowl of chocolate there as well. Like, this is [25:45] ROWAN:  Not a great time.  JAZZA:  Yeah. ROWAN:  And then like she's like, come inside, come inside. And they're obviously like, okay, kiddo, I'll come inside. And then at that point they're probably like, the Jehovah's Witnesses [25:55]  JAZZA:  Like [25:56]  really enjoy that line— ROWAN:  From the road. Like, what a—what a dedicated lot of people. And then you kind of have this scene through the door where we don't really see what's going on. We see what's happening in the cabin with Daddy Andrew and Daddy Eric, but we don't see what's going on outside, we just hear them. And it becomes apparent that although the four of them kind of working together, they've all approach together, they all have very different attitudes and ways of that they think that this is going to work like it's like good cop, bad cop, confused cop, scared cop, angry cop, so many cops out the door. And when it becomes apparent that these people are there to potentially hurt them, they can see through the window that they have weapons. They kind of go through, which I always do appreciate in these like anything that's like horror thriller type things, like useful or smart things that you would do in this scenario.  JAZZA:  Yeah. So they try, there's no signal on their cell phones for example. So cell phones are out of the thing. The landline has been cut, so they can't call 911. ROWAN:  They are like, okay, what if I try and escape, no, because they're surrounding the house. So there's no exits, we can go to. What if we—we just need to get to the truck to get the guns, or just one of us has to be— there's lots of like things that they're trying to figure out. But also obviously, they have like a child they're trying to protect. So like, even as they're getting the pokers for the fire, did use as makeshift weapons. You're so aware that one of them is like holding a child, and so— JAZZA:  Yeah, yeah, yeah. ROWAN:  —like his swing is always going to be inhibited by wanting to protect her first. Like, it's very much, they're doing all that they can but very quickly are essentially overpowered. And we get into the bit that again is spoiled by literally the tru— like you know that these people if you watch the trailer, we're gonna get into this house and tie them up. So in terms of the tension here, was that any not necessary? But during this altercation, where the rest of them storm into this house break in.  what [27:52] Eric and or Andrew gets a concussion. Which one is it, which one's [27:55] JAZZA:  Eric. ROWAN:  [27:56] Eric. JAZZA:  The boring one. The boring one who they should have just killed at the beginning because he was fucking useless. Really dramatically, like a typical gay, falls over, gets a concussion, and then can't look in bright lights and then starts having visions. They should have just— as soon as they asked which one of you dies, Andrew should have gone Eric. I'll kill Eric, that's fine. End of movie. ROWAN:  That was the short—that was a short film version, but they— JAZZA:  Yeah. ROWAN:  —decided to make a feature so this continued. So we also get the first of what I've labeled the sad gay flashbacks. Where we just have a series of flashbacks to various sad moments in the gay's lives. Some of them are happy moments, but um, so this first one is basically Daddy Andrews's parents are mean and homophobic. And Daddy Eric is too damn hopeful. He thought that they could learn the error of their ways and be nice and not homophobic. But Daddy Eric was wrong people are trash. Back to the present. JAZZA:  By the way, these flashbacks apart from one, which I will talk about later. I feel like they do zero for this. ROWAN:  Absolutely nothing. JAZZA:  Absolutely nothing like I think that there is something to say for not trying to make sure that there is a robust backstory for empathy building with these characters. But I think that that actually is already kind of happening and especially the guy whose plays Andrew— ROWAN:  He's great. JAZZA:  —Ben Aldridge carries— ROWAN:  He carries the movie. JAZZA:  Like I think he really does he—he and young Wen, Kristen Cui. They carry this whole movie. Otherwise, it would have been like stilted, awkward, purely utilitarian, kind of like dialogue.  ROWAN:  Yeah. JAZZA:  That I thought it just wasn't delivered particularly—particularly well. ROWAN:  This is also the point of the second flashback where Andrew first decides to accuse them. Because as far as he's aware, some people have come into the house. They are talking about the apocalypse, all of this shit. They maybe want to hurt him and his family. They tied him up and he's like, you are a bunch of homophobe.  I mean, it's just a very—a very great, very like, get out, I would have voted for Obama [30:05] if I could energy. Has been like, I don't have a homophobic bone in my body. I would never— how dare you accuse us of being queer bashes, as I— JAZZA:  Yes. ROWAN:  —literally gave your husband concussion, but not for the gay reason. JAZZA:  It's just because you've been chosen by God. ROWAN:  Just because you're chosen special family. Chosen by God to be killed, which is very gay of you. But that's not [30:30]— JAZZA:  Very on brand. ROWAN:  —what we think, which I loved. And so I—I wrote this point, oh, maybe the twist because I didn't—we never— the only thing we didn't really get in the trailers was like, what the big choice was, what the decision was. You just got you and your family have to make a decision. So at this point, in my mind, I'm going oh, do the family have to kill these four? Because the four of them were looking really scared and freaked out. And like, so I was like, okay, this is where my mind is going at this point. And I guess that acting was good because they're scared [31:00] because they will have to die. But it turns out that wasn't a twist at all. They just killed themselves. So that was point—that was guest one from Rowan in her notes. JAZZA:  I will— I will say. So I—usually our roles, the two of us are, Rowan knows what the twist is and how the murder gets solved or whatever, 10 minutes into the movie. I don't understand what's happened until somebody explains it to me afterward. In this film, as soon as they tie them up, I was like, oh, they're gonna make them—they're gonna make them kill one another. Like, I— immediately got it. And I hadn't seen the trailer.  ROWAN:  No, no. This is immediately what I thought. But then I was like, stupidly, but the twist [31:45], there has to be a twist. JAZZA:  I get it. Okay. ROWAN:  So I was like, here are my twist guesses? So essentially, yeah they—they say, hey, buddies, your cute little family of three, that just happens to be a same-sex couple, nothing to do with our prejudices. Or—you got to pick one of you guys to kill, you have to do it willingly, and you have to kill each other. We can't kill you, and we can't choose. How's this gonna go, is that the four of us, we're going to ask you four times, who would you pick? And every time you say, I don't want to pick, something bad is gonna happen. And the bad thing is that we'll basically kill ourselves in front of you. And or like, the others will kill whoever is going to die at this point. And we will basically wipe out like a quarter of the population of the entire planet from that.  JAZZA:  Kinda. ROWAN:  Which really—I was like confused because I was like, well, is your death causing the destruction of the planet? Like, do you—could you just like not die and then the planet doesn't get destroyed? Like how does the functioning of this work? And then I very quickly was like, Rowan, listen, this movie is not about actually thinking about it. Don't think about it.  JAZZA:  Yeah.  So there's four of them. There's Leonard, who is played by Dave Batista. Redmond is played by Ron Weasley. And then there's Adrian and Sabrina played by Abby Quinn and Nikki Amuka Bird, respectively. They kind of like present themselves saying like a little bit about themselves really awkwardly. I don't know, what are they? Because I'm— I'm sure I've seen Rupert Grint acts before. And this wasn't good. And I don't understand what it was. And maybe it was like a character decision because it was a real problem for the Four Horsemen because they're— they're representative for four horsemen of the apocalypse. The four horsemen and the way that they kind of like engaged with one another and with their captors, it just felt so off. And like it didn't have any kind of like emotion behind it. It was very strange. ROWAN:  I think that in part that was because we were never getting anything from their point of view, it was always from I mean, maybe it was from Andrew's point of view. And so we were always being shown them where they were trying to present a—would there— they were trying to be persuasive. As for people who were not like naturally persuasive, so it doesn't necessarily have that authenticity of like when they're alone. So like we kind of hear them talking alone, but it's always like in the background of what's going on with Andrew and Eric, it's like just whispering that like over here. So I feel like yeah, we didn't really get a sense of them as like actual people beyond this, because we never got to see them talking in like a natural way.  JAZZA:  Yeah.

Okay, we can get back to the show now.  [theme] JAZZA:  So this is where my— this is my party and its aftermath and the party is the death of Ron Weasley. ROWAN:  I mean, yeah, sure. JAZZA:  Because this is the first place for me where I laughed, where I shouldn't have laugh.  ROWAN:  The first place love that energy. JAZZA:  Like Ron Weasley has to be murdered because the gays said they're not going to kill one another. And the bit that I laugh at is where the producer finishes off. Ron Weasley, and then picks up his legs. And then the camera tracks as he drags him out onto the patio, past two windows and then just drops his legs. And I just the—the visual of it absolutely sent me. I was inappropriately cackling through the whole dragging scene in the cinema, everybody hated me. ROWAN:  I love that. So yeah, sorry, Ron, you're dead. You die pretty early. You had a good run, being angry man in the corner because Ron's character was just angry that— that was his character at that point, was just angry, grumpy man, that was it. JAZZA:  He's meant to be wrath or something like that. They then turn on the telly and they see that oh, look, there's been earthquakes and there is tsunamis. Despite the fact that the first of those earthquakes, this is one of the plot holes. And the plot holes that really annoyed me. Were the first two like plagues that they released onto humanity, by not sacrificing one another? The first one is two earthquakes that cause two tsunamis that happen— the first of which happens four hours before they turn on the telly. Which means what it can't have been triggered by the gays. And then the second one is a type of like flu, is like an— it's a bird flu or something like that. That for some reason has an epicenter in Suffolk.  ROWAN:  Classic Suffolk. JAZZA:  Classic Suffolk. But that has also been happening for several months already. And so also isn't caused by the gays. There is like a wider conversation around like the religious zealot nests of gay marriage causes natural disasters. ROWAN:  I love that. JAZZA:  I think there is like an opportunity for a meta-commentary about that here, but I'm not going to make it. ROWAN:  I also— my favorite bit of this whole section was that the newscaster got— well first of all the [40:53] add to that place before— JAZZA:  [40:55] ROWAN:  [40:55] and then that— which is it's the directors are coming out right?  JAZZA:  Yeah. ROWAN:  Yeah, yeah, yeah. JAZZA:  Yeah it's nice in there, yeah. ROWAN:  I was like I—that looks like the director. So I just really liked that it was like that was a choice that they made, where they're like waiting for the breaking news to happen. But during the newscast, the woman goes just short moments ago, we have footage and I'm like, that's not short moments ago, because that person who took that footage is fully dead. Like they— JAZZA:  Yeah. ROWAN:  —they get consumed by the tsunami. They weren't then like in the tsunami being like Better Texas, it's ABC News. And it wasn't even like [41:29] JAZZA:  I guess they could do live streaming. Yeah.  ROWAN:  Well, the thing is, normally when that happens, you have like live stream, but I was like, this is just so ridiculous. But I was like, you know what, the film was ridiculous, I'm getting into it. Also, like a lot of the tone of the— for kind of people who have come to this cabin. These—with these weird moments of comedy, of awkwardness, that I was never quite sure whether I was meant to be laughing out. So I was like, la— sometimes laughing in my head, I don't think I ever laughed out loud. But like, it was such a strange tone that I really wasn't sure what was going on, or what I was meant to be thinking. But yeah, just that really sent me. We also at this point, essentially, they're like, we're on a clock, we're on a timer. But actually, you know what, we're gonna have to break overnight like we actually end of our shift. So you guys have a little chat? JAZZA:  Yeah, yeah, yeah. actually, [42:14] see you in the morning. ROWAN:  See you in the morning gang. And we find out that Eric is definitely—we know from a flashback that his religious. And so I think at this point we're starting—they're like slowly creeping in the potential that Eric could be— JAZZA:  He's the weakest link, kill the fucker, kill Eric. ROWAN:  —persuaded he's the weakest link. I then put my second prediction, which was Eric is one of these religious bitches. So I thought because he kept asking— JAZZA:  That would have been good. ROWAN:  I kept— he kept asking questions about the— so at first, I predicted that right at the beginning when they have that moment of being like, oh, you can pray if you want to. And they tell him about the visions they've been having, which is like them predicting, prophesizing, what's going to happen, and how it all matches up. And he says something like, dreams can mean lots of things. And I was like, oh, I think he's been having these dreams., and he's persuade—like his—like Andrew has persuaded him, like this is because you're stressed like, these don't mean anything. And he's trying to persuade himself, and I fully thought that he also had been having these dreams. That was prediction fun twist number two, that didn't happen. So then we get a flashback to them in the car. And the—it's just them being cute and singing, and coming to the cabin and that child actor who plays he—who plays Wen looks directly into the camera almost for that entire sequence, and I loved it so much. They're singing karaoke and she keeps clearly being directed to look at either of the dads, but between them is the camera and she just spends most of the time looking directly at the audience. JAZZA:  I didn't notice that at all [43:45] ROWAN:  It was stunning, I love her. They also—at this point are talking about being a rat in the flashback, talking about being in the cabin, and I got what I thought was going to be a really fun Chekhov's gun situation, where they are joking about whether there are like bears in the area. And one of the dads is like we know we'll be safe we won't need the garbage out. And I was like Ron, Ron's gonna get eaten by a bear. There's gonna be some bear situation that's going to happen like we won't need the garbage out. But there's literally a dead body waiting to be eaten by a bear. Like something is happening. That never came back again, that was wrong as well. JAZZA:  Ohh, an army of bears, um like— ROWAN:  I really was like waiting for [44:19] JAZZA:  [44:19] of [44:20] could have turned up. Or I was thinking like some level that bear daddies could have trotted up and saved them [44:28] ROWAN:  That would have been even better, but no. We also at this point, like the whole movie is just them being in this cabin. One by one, these people are killing themselves. They have various escape attempts. So at first, Wen tries to like climb into the basement and run but ends up getting captured. We also find out that Andrew has had an experience of gay bashing in the past, and that he is convinced— he suddenly realizes that he recognizes Ron Weasley because he looks a little bit different— JAZZA:  From the Harry Potter movies. ROWAN:  From the Harry Potter movies, but he's like— but also he was the guy who beat me up. JAZZA:  Yeah.  ROWAN:  And put me in hospital and put me through like this horrible like PTSD experience I have to have therapy for. And we also get a flashback where we can't quite see his face. So again, it's like oh, is it really him? Is he miss remembering because of his trauma? What's going on? And then—then we start questioning like are these people actually, you know, it's this all a coincidence, because did Ron tell them that he'd been having a dream about the cabin when they were chatting on the little [45:29]  where they all met. And then they suddenly started having the dream because he planted the idea in their heads. And very quickly that's all squashed and it's like no, no, it's— it's that's not what was happening at all, that the apocalypse is really going on. That switch and bait was kind of pointless for a second, don't worry about it— JAZZA:  Yeah. ROWAN:  —we're back on track. The apocalypse is definitely happening. Let's kill some more of these people. JAZZA:  Yeah, and the next one to die is Adrian. And as she dies, this flu that has existed for several months up until this point is then reported on the TV. Andrew end up, they're like really angry saying that these are obviously coincidences, this saying suggesting that these are pre-recorded broadcasts, that they are just turning on. And they're timing everything specifically for—for specific newscasts. And Sabrina, one of the two remaining, I'm going to underscore the horsemen. ROWAN:  Yeah, yeah, yeah. JAZZA:  Is bandaging up Eric and describing the vision that she's had, and how they ended up kind of like finding each other online, making them sound. This is the thing, if they had been hammered this idea more that they were people who were radicalized and made it feel more obvious to the viewer that oh, these are some people who have been radicalized online, like Q anon style vibes. That would have made the conclusion of the movie more—more, not necessarily surprising, but more interesting. And you kind of have it seated, but I don't think it comes across strongly you know? ROWAN:  Yeah. JAZZA:  Eventually, Andrew ends up escaping after Wen starts screaming for cartoons and distracts the rest of them. And Andrew somehow, like sneaks past them despite the fact that they're literally feet away from one another. He gets the car, gets his gun that was in the back that he carries around since he was gay bashed for his own protection, shoots. But [47:15], she stabs him. They end up going back into the cabin and then he actually does shoot and kill Sabrina. Sabrina's now dead. ROWAN:  Here are my notes for this section.  JAZZA:  Right. ROWAN:  Ron, Andrew, Sabrina, you hit him.  JAZZA:  Okay. ROWAN:  Get the gun. Hurry with that gun. Get the fucking gun. Stop stabbing him. Baby got the gun. She ran away. Oh, no flat tire. That's—that's what I wrote down, some very important intellectual notes about that whole section. And then I put, why are you threatening Leonard, just kill him. JAZZA:  Yeah, right. Just shoot the fucker. ROWAN:  Just shoot the fucker. JAZZA:  He—he does say—he does say we don't want to be a murderer like you all are. ROWAN:  But then okay, this is the thing that's really weird as well, is that they have this whole thing where they're trying to persuade us like Andrew doesn't give a shit about humanity. Like he's this jaded motherfucker. He doesn't give a shit. He'll let humanity burn if it will save his family. And he can't shoot one dude. That doesn't seem— that doesn't seem in line with his character, Bishop. JAZZA:  So Sabrina got— got sho, she's now dead. For some reason, they always have to kind of like, finish them off, even though they're clearly already dead. But Leonard— ROWAN:  That'd be thorough. JAZZA:  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Make sure that the job is done. He wraps it up in a blanket and sticks you into the—into the other room. But then Eric and Andrew, lock Leonard in the bathroom because they're going to run and try and go to the truck that the four horsemen must have arrived here with. ROWAN:  And when they put them him in the bathroom, there is just a very visible human-sized hole of a window. JAZZA:  Sure, sure. But—it so—so Leonard smashes this window, making it seem like he's managed to escape. He's huge. He wouldn't fit through that window. And so it's just obvious. ROWAN:  It's a normal human-sized window, not a Dave-sized window. JAZZA:  Not a Dave sized— sized window. And so they end up like wrestling to the ground. ROWAN:  Classic gay movie stuff, wrestling to be fair. JAZZA:  Yeah.  ROWAN:  [49:30] JAZZA:  They don't—they don't kiss. ROWAN:  They don't kiss though, which is normally— normally the boys wrestle and then they kiss in this situations. But no kisses, only gun grabbing happening here. JAZZA:  And then after Sabrina dies, this is the second time that I unintentionally cackled to myself in the movie. When we have the footage of all of the planes falling from the sky— ROWAN:  Weeee. JAZZA:  I did. It just looked—the CGI looked so bad— ROWAN:  It looks very bad.  JAZZA:  It just looked so silly to me. And there's people looking up in like horror, obviously, because like 700 planes are falling from the sky. But I just think the whole thing—the tone was just so off. So that's like the third and now we just have Leonard and this is where my act three, begins. [theme] JAZZA:  And my act three is, just kill Eric already. ROWAN:  Yeah, fair.  So at this point, it's like, okay, the planes are falling from the sky. Literally, there's like lightning and thunder everywhere. The darkness is descending, everything is going [50:37] So it's like, okay, the apocalypse is definitely happening. We have a choice to make. Leonard at this point is just like chilling out in the rocking chair. I guess I assume if he—if he wants a nice final moments, helping himself to that wine, cheese, and chocolate that they left help her at the beginning of the movie. JAZZA:  Yeah, what a weird guy. ROWAN:  And essentially is like, hey, guys. So hopefully you're persuaded by now. I still have to die, I guess. RIP, [51:03] for me. But please, also, you'll have a little bit after I die. Please kill each oth— like kill at least one of you guys. And there's a line again that in my head, I was like, oh, this is interesting. Which is Eric says to Wen, go to the tree house until one of us comes to get you. JAZZA:  Yeah, he's [51:21] ROWAN:  And was like it's like my baby about to die. And I was right for once. And then at this point, I put RIP Leonard. Every time someone died, I just put RIP, you know res— you gotta respect the horsemen.  JAZZA:  Yeah, exactly. ROWAN:  And then I said, but it finishes this time with RIP Leonard, hello darkness, my old friend. Because as soon as he dies, quite literally, the sky turns black. Just because of you know, we lost—we lost a bad boy, and the earth couldn't cope. So essentially, this then becomes this weirdly like heavy-handed, strange, extended, not even a metaphor, like sym—symbolism or a lesson to be learned. I don't know what it was. About, like the one gay who hates humanity because he was gay bashed and blames other people. The other gay who's a religious boy, who sees the best in other people— JAZZA:  Sacrifice himself.  ROWAN:  And he also— he's Jesus, I guess. JAZZA:  Jesus was gay.  ROWAN:  [52:15] JAZZA:  [52:16] being single in that economy. ROWAN:  Right? And it's just like, they're not— like they hate us, they're monsters. Like all of these homophobes, the whole world is homophobic and hates me particularly. Like,I love humanity, I hate humanity conversation. JAZZA:  So this actually—this was the— this was the thing I wanted to talk about.  ROWAN:  Ooh, you want to do it now? JAZZA:  Because like— Yeah. So I think that there was something potentially really interesting that could have played with the idea of the paranoia that you have from be— having grown up in a homophobic community, in a homophobic culture. Where your guard is always up, you don't trust others. And you like, for example, when Andrew automatically goes to, oh, you're hurt, because you're homophobic, and you think that we should die and that they're religious zealots. And that bad faith assessment that they have, because of the terrible experiences that Andrew specifically in this case, but queer people in general have gone through, he automatically then sees the worst in any confrontation that he ends up having. It made me think when we saw the Ron Weasley attacking him scene. And then the next scene is him purchasing a gun, it made me think of—so I made a documentary after [53:36] shootings in Florida. And then the increase in gun use amongst the elderly, or registration of guns among the LGBTQ-plus community. And that desire for you to take that power and agency back from this culture that has taken away safety from you. And therefore you need to be able to make yourself hard and make yourself battle ready. We see him training to be a boxer as well, so that he's able to defend himself, and therefore his family. And I think that there was a real potential here with this character, with Andrews's character to be like, oh, I have to— like, what is the thing that I am defending? Is it me, or is it this thing that I have built? And I think that the movie falls flat on that, but there was such potential for that theme of like, the tragedy of being a queer person growing up in a homophobic culture. And what that does to you in not being able to really kind of like experience life in a joyful way. So that was my little extra bit, but it doesn't do that. ROWAN:  No. And I also think that that has been slightly— like that very legitimate, like element and experience, kind of almost has been, like co-opted by this. Like, I feel like I've seen multiple sketch shows, where you have the gay character who preemptively assumes homophobia or the black character who preemptively assumes, like racism, where it's like, oh, is it because I'm black? Is because I'm gay? Oh, this is I'm a woman, isn't it? And so that is become such a like, catch-all, gotcha where you can legitimately point it out without it being like, you're paranoid. You're crazy. Like— JAZZA:  Yeah, it's not because you're gay, it's because God's chose you. ROWAN:  Yeah, it's like, really— I feel like it would be a really tricky one to do, without either legitimizing the idea that like, literally the entire world is out to get you and everyone is homophobic, but also legitimizing the very real dangers and fear that can be present, and like the psychological experience of like, extreme chronic stress that you can have from this constitution, which I think is something that like a lot of marginalized people go through. But yeah, you're right, it didn't happen. So you know what— JAZZA:  Oh, well.  ROWAN:  Oh, well. JAZZA:  And then finally, let's wrap this shit up. ROWAN:  Wrap it up. Finally, finally, thank God, Eric's dead.  JAZZA:  Eric's dead. ROWAN:  Andrew killed him just in case you [56:04] it wasn't—Wen didn't kill him, Wen is in the tree house. JAZZA:  [56:08] There'll be a cool twist out of it. ROWAN:  She would have been like, I can't let you choose between—she's like still this little eight-year-old being like, fathers, daddies, I would never let you choose for that would be the most awful torture of all, I will decide which Daddy dies today. JAZZA:  I— I read, I actually kind of part of me really, really wanted that. Especially because she was really affected by the fact that all of the kids were dying from the bird flu. And I would have liked it if she just taken the gun and shot Eric in the head. but anyway. ROWAN:  Oh my god, that would been great. JAZZA:  So we have like this weird post—post-apocalyptic scenes where they go to a— they take the truck to a diner, and we are told literally by one of the NPCs.  ROWAN:  Yep.  JAZZA:  Oh, everything's gonna be okay now ROWAN:  That accent, I can only assume will be improving as you continue to live in New York. JAZZA:  I fucking hope not. And then when they return to the truck, they play—they turn on the radio and this song called Boogie Shoes comes on [57:13] which was shown in a flashback beforehand. ROWAN:  Where she looked at the camera all the time. Yeah.  JAZZA:  Yeah. Where she looks at the camera, and then they drive off. ROWAN:  The end. There was one last moment where I thought, huh, interesting. Because as far as I could tell, that's raining during that entire end sequence.  JAZZA:  Oh yeah, oh yeah. ROWAN:  And her dress and his shirt is just bone dry the entire time. Until I think they get into the cafe, and then suddenly, I think they're like, slightly damp. But I think it was just a continuity error, you know what I mean? Same with like, there's a moment where their hands get tied in front of them, but then suddenly, their hands are tied behind them stuff like that. But no, it was just continuity. It wasn't some like secret thing about reality, or what was real or a twist. It's just simply the end of the movie now. Also, I wrote down. So one of the funny things is with the burial gays trope. I did a video a while ago that essentially analyzed like these, the separate instances of like, what counts as burial gays, and what the different like most common uses for it are. And one of the really big ones in the start of like, queer representation that was being more sympathetic in sort of like the 90s and onwards, was this idea of like, the gay character dies in order to, like, teach everyone else a lesson about like, the value of life and love. And I was like, oh, no, this is like the ultimate version of don't worry, the gay one will die, but the rest of us can go on and learn to appreciate life on this planet even more. JAZZA:  [58:37]  ROWAN:  Oh, my God imagine. Truly [58:41] Four Weddings and a Funeral. Just—there's so many insane examples. My absolute favorite one is in supernatural, there are these characters called a thing they called the ghost faces. And one of them dies, and there's literally a line that's like, gay love, like save to the world. Just because like the power of gay love, like prevented the apocalypse or whatever, because he just dies. So yeah, that was the movie, that was the end. JAZZA:  Thank God.  ROWAN:  Yeah.  JAZZA:  Shall we go into ratings? ROWAN:  Let's do it. [theme] JAZZA:  When we rate each of the movies that we talk about and review on this podcast, we use the six bars of the rainbow flag and we give a certain number of bars and certain colors. Does that make sense? It will in a minute. So we can give any combination of red which means life, orange, which means healing, yellow, which means sun, green, which means nature, blue, that means harmony, and purple, that means spirit. ROWAN:  How many bars are you going to give it, Jazza? JAZZA:  I'm gonna give it yellow, and that's it. Um because— ROWAN:  [59:49] JAZZA:  The sunlight— ROWAN:  I'm also going to give it yellow and I think we have the exact same reasoning. JAZZA:  So the late—the golden hour, kind of like lighting that comes through the window. ROWAN:  Yeah, [1:00:01] JAZZA:  Shines, yesss. ROWAN:  It was tasty.  JAZZA:  It was so good. It was the only good thing about the movie and the Grasshopper scene actually. So maybe if quite liked this movie more, I did given it green as well for nature, but no, it's just getting yellow. ROWAN:  Yeah, I fully agree, and sunlight for that exact reason. It was some beautiful shots in the bathroom. That again, I was looking at and I was like, I want to find some meaning behind this. One of you is in light, one of you is in shadow. Like what's happening here? There's some interesting colors. There was a whole moment where Eric talks about seeing a figure in the light that I guess was Jesus and— JAZZA:

Edit: Please do scroll down and read the comments by Giving What We Can staff, who added context and clarified errors that remain in this post.I originally wanted to write a comment to the forum post CEA Disambiguation, which contains further context, but I believe this warrants its own post.The Effective Ventures Foundation (formerly known as CEA) (I'll call them EVF) runs many projects, including 80.000 hours, Giving What We Can, Longview Philanthropy, EA Funds, and the Centre for Effective Altruism (CEA), which in turn seems to run this forum.It is very strange to learn that these organizations are not independent from each other, and the EVF board can exert influence over each of them. I believe this structure was set up so the EVF board has central control over EA strategy.I think this is very bad. EVF can not be trusted to unbiasedly serve the EA community as a whole, it misleads donors, and it exposes effective altruism to unnecessary risks of contagion. An example (misleading donors): As "Giving What We Can", EVF currently recommends donations to a number of funds that are run by EVF: Longview Philanthropy: Longtermism Fund several Funds run by Effective Altruism Funds Through the "EA Funds Longterm Future Fund", EVF has repeatedly paid out grants to itself, for example in July 2021 it paid itself $177,000 for its project "Centre for the Governance of AI". Another example (biased advertising): On/, which serves as an introduction to EA, the EVF links to its own project 80000hours, but not to the competing Probably Good.In both examples, the obvious conflicts of interest are stated nowhere. What should we do? I have not thought hard about this, but I have come up with a few obvious-sounding ideas. Please leave your thoughts in the comments!This is what I think we should do: I think we should break up the EVF into independent projects, especially those that direct or receive funding. Until that happens, we should conceive of EVF as a single entity. We need to push for more transparency. EVF's "EA Funds"-branded funds publicly disclose their spending, which is commendable! EVF's "Longview Longtermism Fund" does not. Funds should definitely disclose their conflicts of interest. We should champion community-run organizations like EA Germany e.V. or the Czech EA Association, and let them step into their natural role of representing the community. GWWC members should demand control over their institution. We should continue the debate about EA's governance norms. In order to de-risk the community and to represent our values, we should establish democratic, transparent and fair governance on all levels, including local groups. We probably should rethink supporting community leaders that consolidate their power instead of distributing it. DFTBA,Ludwig PS: the same consideration applies for effektiveraltruismus.de, which is run by an EA donation platform, and not by EA Germany. Thanks for listening.

In this week's episode, Laura and Nikki interview artist, illustrator, musician, self-proclaimed mad scientist and D&D geek, Tyler Thrasher. Tyler has an undying love for nature and its respective curiosities, and there are few things Tyler's brain isn't obsessing over. Between his pursuits to crystallize the world, opalize everything and hunt down some of the most unique plants, his passion to combine art and science every step of the way is his fire and fuel. He applies his brand of hopeful, angry optimism to everything he does. As you'll hear during this interview, Tyler has the ability to take his curiosities and quickly turn them into amazing products... from crystalized cicadas to plant-growing journals, custom art t-shirts and even plushies! He sees what's missing in the marketplace, courageously takes action, and puts his work out in the world for all of us to enjoy. We know you'll love our conversation with him and be inspired to see where your own curiosities will lead you! TOPICS DISCUSSED Tyler's Startist story  How he began combining his interest in art and science and developed his unique crystallized insects What happened to Tyler's Instagram after requesting an art trade with an illustrator he loves Being spontaneous vs. planning things out Using Kickstarter and pre-sales to fund products Working with DFTBA for fulfillment, shipping and creating new products Making, selling and shipping t-shirts to raise money for The Bail Project and other black causes What Tyler's online community did when his house burned down How people react on social media when you focus on one thing vs following many different passions The process of designing his cicada plushie and the ridiculous number he sold in one week! Asking for what you want to grow your career Getting real about his anxiety and insecurity and how he doesn't let that stop him from following through with his ideas… which led to his existential discussion with his cicada! Tyler shares a few product ideas he's working on, including a whole bunch of plushies, his plans for a bigger lab and conservatory in partnership with a nanotech scientist in Tulsa. And caves, Tyler loves caves! Tyler shares his obsession with sour candy and Nikki gives him a brilliant idea for a new product! And finally, Tyler shares his best advice for people who are just getting started.

No es suficiente referenciarlos en la mayoría de nuestras conversaciones, necesitábamos dedicarle un episodio completo a los hermanos John y Hank Green. Tal vez los conozcas por su contenido en TikTok, por sus novelas, alguno de sus muchos canales en Youtube, por sus enseñanzas en SciShow o Crash Course, por su papel de papás de internet, o simplemente por la forma en la que han ayudado a propagar, de forma eficiente y entretenida, información de distintas áreas de conocimiento; sea cual sea la forma en la que los conociste, tenlo por seguro que al hablar de estos hermanos sólo podemos preguntarnos ¿qué no han hecho?

There's a new girl in town, and despite her numerous similarities to Tanner, she may be one of the most dynamic and engaging characters to ever move to Stoneybrook. Is she tall? Yes. Does she wear glasses? You bet. Does she exclusively wear pink jumpsuits? Yep! Can she move things with her mind? Maybe. Does she go on a destructive rampage after a bucket of pig's blood is dumped on her at prom, ending with a conflagration of SMS and everyone inside of it? Guess you'll have to listen to find out.

In the early days of Sexplanations I traveled to Iceland, visited their phallological museum, and recorded my experiences there. To revisit this topic I invited warehouse manager, Caenaan to talk about penises and organizing things, seems like curating. Our conversation becomes a when-has-Caenaan-dick episode (which I'm pleased with) and a tangential adventure into opening our own sex museum, the value of positive body image, shipping sex dolls, and his wonderful definition of good sex.

Hank is one half of the popular YouTube duo VlogBrothers. The show is co-hosted with his brother John Green, author of the New York Times bestselling book The Fault in Our Stars. The show boasts a loyal group following, amounting to around 2.6 million viewers. The brothers are also the brains behind a fundraising campaign called "Project For Awesome," through which they're organizing the community to take over YouTube with charity work for a day. Hank is well-known for being an Internet entrepreneur, article writer/contributor to a variety of publications like the New York Times, Scientific American and Mental Floss. In addition to the successful Brotherhood 2.0 project, he's also produced science-based videos like the popular "SciShow" and "Crash Course." He is also the inventor of 2D-Glasses for those who have trouble watching 3-D movies; this is his least successful business venture to date, by the way. Speaking of merchandise, he also owns DFTBA records, an online store he co-founded with his friends. He's also an Emmy winner for his web-series "The Lizzie Bennet Diaries," a modern adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. Hank takes us into the creative process of producing a lot of successful video shows. The ideas and the content that he puts into each show shines with his dedication and passion for educating his followers and the deep relationships he has forged along the way. He loves creating new things that encourage discourse and having fun and that simply entertain the audience until they learn something. The man does not want to stop giving back what he knows and he will continue to influence the next generation with new products or topics that liven up their lives. Because of this, he is now redefining the meaning of cool by being 'on fleick' just the way he is.
