A Quiet Place & Dick and Dom in Da Bungalow

A Quiet Place

Reegs: Welcome

to Bad Dads Film Review. I'm one of your co hosts, Reegs. And as that big bass from our intro dies away, I'd like you to all whoop and cheer as I introduce you to three of the most talented and funny people I know. Which is unfortunately you three. Dan, the man so old he brings a historical perspective to our discussions whether we want it or not.

Your first pet was a trilobite, if I

Dan: Yeah.

Reegs: correctly. We also have the returning Peter, the man who took the phrase go forth and multiply a little too literally. Your family photos look like a crowd shot from Glastonbury. And Sidey you've been down a YouTube rabbit hole and you now believe that mirrors are in fact not real.

Is that, is that right? Can you tell us a little bit more about that?

Sidey: It's Conspiracy brought to you by Big Mirror.

Reegs: Yeah, the big mirror industry on this week's show, we're all being pretty sound or more accurately the lack of it. That's our theme this whole week, starting with a bang as we discuss the top five libraries. Following that, we tiptoe into John Krasinski's 2018 post apocalyptic horror about porn.

Parenthood grief and loss in a quiet place. And for our younger and perhaps just much more immature listeners, which includes me we're revisiting the pure chaos of Dick and Dom in Da Bungalow. Because if, as we all know, if you're a child, there's literally no safer place to go than a BBC presenters house.

A quick word of caution. Caution! And also, this podcast is not for the faint of heart. It contains more profanity than Gordon Ramsay's kitchen if it were staffed by a squad of Tourette suffering sailors. But if you're not easily offended let's get on with it. How is everyone?

Sidey: good?

Dan: Pretty good. Yeah

Reegs: Excellent.

Dan: Libraries we did hush didn't we the midweek?

Sidey: Yeah, it was a triumph.

I'm

Dan: just about getting over it now it's it's been a few hours since I I stopped watching that but that was pretty terrifying and you've done a double header this week side. You went with

Sidey: Yep

Dan: Thanks

Sidey: We're going to talk about libraries for our top five.

Dan: Yeah, okay

 Watch anything this week? yeah, I started watching Buffalo 66 again, which has just come out on Prime.

Sidey: then, somebody was telling

Dan: And then I, somebody was telling me the most awful things about that, saying, oh, did you hear about this? He got done, like, proper Me Too stuff. And how abusive he was on set and all the rest of it.

So I, I, yeah. I'm not finished it at the moment, but yeah, it sometimes makes you think, you know, when you're watching it like, Oh, right. Okay. Cause it is really, you know, full on in parts where he just is very forceful and grabs Christina Richie is have you seen it? Have you? No, right. Okay.

It's just a, it's a weird kind of, you know, movie. It's just at prison. And he's going home, which is like even worse than prison, because his mum and dad are there, who are just dicks. But then he's kind of just kidnaps this girl to pretend that He's not a complete fuck up in front of his parents. And she kind of goes along with it.

But it's it's yeah, it's a strange old kind of show. And What else I caught up on shogun again, so they've been drip feeding me that and i've got another one then later on this week

Sidey: right? Hey, you've not been here for a million years So you

Pete: I won't go through everything that I've watched in that time, but I have also been watching Shogun,

Dan: Ah, have you enjoyed it? I

Pete: up to that.

I really like it. Yeah, it's kind of, it's not quite up there with Vikings for me, but it's got a similar sort of like vibe.

Really good and gaining momentum as well. I find there was a couple of, there was a little lull in episode two and three, but anyway, it's, it's coming back strong. What I also have watched and I don't know if you guys have discussed it is the series, the gentlemen,

Sidey: Didn't really vibe with the film.

So i'm not really interested in

Pete: okay.

No, I I've, I've watched it and, and enjoyed it. I mean, it's, it's not the

Reegs: greatest

what the series's

Pete: Yeah. But it's, it's. Is this

Reegs: It's got Giancarlo

Pete: Yes, yeah yeah, and Vinnie Jones, obviously. And Ray Winston, so it's got, yeah, it's sort of hitting all the Guy Ritchie

Reegs: the same as you. I didn't really appreciate the movie that much, but I still, I'm really absent of a good series in my life at

Pete: I wouldn't go out of my way to watch it, but I'll watch the second series when it eventually comes out, I'm sure it will do. But yeah, it was entertaining, like preposterous, but entertaining.

That's it.

Sidey: Riggs?

Reegs: Well I started watching Three Body Problem, the Netflix thing last night, but that was pretty good. Yeah, that, that's probably it.

Sidey: Well, I started watching the Super Mario movie, but I'm not really getting on with it, so, yeah.

You're

Pete: The Chris Pratt one. Yeah, that's, that's not done.

Sidey: Yeah, that's, that's, I'm done.

Yeah.

Pete: I

Sidey: Keep crying. I'm sure there was something else, Phil, but I just can't think what it might have been. So, should we just crack on with the top five?

Reegs: Yeah, let's do it.

Dan: do them.

Sidey: Top five libraries.

Dan: Okay, i've got one for you

Sidey: You're a frequent library visitor,

Dan: I am actually I was in the library this week.

Sidey: Week. Nice. Oh, okay.

Dan: Just reading actually but somebody else who likes reading No, I'm thinking of The shawshank Our friend worked in a library for a little bit and the books

Sidey: I know you want to do it. I didn't want to say it.

Dan: I, I really,

Sidey: Andy Dufresne

Dan: Andy Dufresne worked in a library for a little bit and he would deliver the books and things. And lots of prison libraries. Has anybody else got prison libraries?

Porridge. That was another classic,

Pete: Did it have a library?

Dan: Yeah. Frequently, sometimes the episodes they

Reegs: I hated

Pete: Yeah. I'm

Reegs: Yeah,

Pete: Ronnie Barker

Dan: Barker. Yeah. I really liked it.

Reegs: can't Maybe I should give it a re watch, or hit it at the wrong

Pete: it's clever, it's good, yeah.

But

Sidey: 1, he wrote, he wrote every, week or every fortnight constantly to get more funds than they would send him some and he and he continued to

Pete: write. Yeah, it was like a

Sidey: and he they named it the brooks memorial library or something didn't they because after brooks he'd killed himself

Dan: That's right. Yeah. Yeah another little

Sidey: there's one in a prison library in out of sight Where Snoop is shaking down one of the inmates and Clooney is fucking annoyed because he's trying to read and he slams shut the book and says the sign says shut the fuck up and then they have a fight.

It's a good one. I love that film.

Dan: Yeah, like libraries and in prisons

Reegs: Yeah.

Dan: they're, they're normally got a it's somebody passing messages along, isn't it? They're, they're sneaky. They're the communications or they're, you know, sneaking a little bit of food into

Sidey: well also people do get education in there as well.

Yeah, yeah. They come out with new knowledge and skills.

Yeah. All of those. Yep. Yep. Pete?

Pete: The first one I thought of when, when I knew what the top five was, was the absolutely epic library that is in the Citadel in Game of Thrones.

Sidey: Oh yeah.

Reegs: And

Pete: And I think, I almost felt like, Samuel Tarly's character is, is a, You know, he's, he's, he's got very

Sidey: a

Pete: Yeah, I forgot what they're called. What are the bloody hell are they

Sidey: bloody hell are they

Pete: Maces. Yeah. Yeah, so he

His, his journey has been so different to everybody else's, albeit intertwined And he's kind of like the one of the very few like non macho or non I guess like, you know powerhouse Cat, you know alpha male characters or whatever in it

But

you're rooting for him all the way through.

Dan: a white walker.

Pete: He did kill a white boy. He's the first one to do it in, in the whole series. But so his journey eventually kind of landed him, you know, mastered him and he traveled to the Citadel and, and that just when he goes into the to the library to sit in the, he has to leave his missus and kid at the door.

Cause they're not, no women and children allowed and stuff, but he goes in and this, you walk in through like a corridor and then you just look up and up and up. And it's on about like, you know, five stories and it takes up what looks to be. Like the entirety of that building, that like sort of fairly iconic building that they send all the white doves out of or white crows or whatever they are to, to signal like that winter is coming and so on.

So I thought it was kind of like a nice way

of his journey through the entire series, crescendoing to him reaching, you know, I guess, respe being respected by his peers and all of that kind of stuff, but it was a fairly epic library,

and,

Dan: good arc

Pete: yeah, and it helped, and he, and he took some learnings from it to help old matey, like, get all that shit off his skin,

Sidey: forgotten

Pete: forgotten what it's, I've forgotten everyone's names and what, and even

Reegs: I know who you mean

Pete: Yeah, the guy who fancied with the

Reegs: Yeah. And got gunned.

Pete: Yeah. Many times got guns, yeah. But he managed to, like, peel all his, like, scabs

Reegs: Jo Jaw.

Pete: Jorah? Mormont. Yeah.

Dan: and, And

what was that that they had though? What was that skin disease?

Reegs: Grayscale. Yeah.

Pete: it was if you touched one of the men. The iron stone men or something like that, yeah. But anyway, good library, I

Sidey: Mmm. Cracker. Riggs?

Reegs: Well the first one I thought of was that hideous apparition librarian from the Ghostbusters opening in the New York City Library. Terrified me as a kid. I was at exactly the right age.

Dan: you've got that spooky witch and then you've got Slimer as well running around in there, haven't you?

Reegs: you?

He's not in the library, he's in a hotel, but I do like when they go back that their plan is to get her.

Dan: Yeah. It's

Reegs: such a good plan and it obviously goes completely wrong. Yeah, so that was, that was going to be my first library.

Sidey: Not

heard good things about the new one.

Reegs: new one. No.

Sidey: It's a shame.

Dan: It is a shame, yeah.

Sidey: I was thinking of some of the ones you mentioned but also in seven, they use library and the renting of library books in a kind of underhand way to track people to find to identify

Dan: Catcher of the Rye, I think they've got your, and this, the Tales of Canterbury, and there was a couple of other

Sidey: It's Paradise Lost and Dante's Peak, the film, I think and um if if there's a apparently there's a list of people who've rented specific titles and if you have then you might you might be being watched.

Pete: that a

Reegs: the talking hedgehog, if you've watched

that.

Pete: that a real thing?

Dan: I think they would've just got your library card, Pete, to be honest.

Sidey: Wouldn't surprise me. I don't know but that's how they identify.

Pete: John Doe.

Dan: Yeah.

Oh, yeah, that's that is a good one. Interstellar I mean it plays into the plot for right from the beginning when He's going away and the books start falling And send, you know, send me a sign and it's like, this fucking book's just falling off the case when you're saying that.

And that is a sign, you know, read that into it. Of course, it's him on the other side of a black hole multiverse

Reegs: Well, a four dimensional representation of,

Dan: Tesseract, yeah, or whatever, but there we go. It's it's, it then, comes full circle and you, you see Matthew McConaughey pushing the and playing the banjo strings the other side of the library.

And she finally gets it. She reads the Morse code in the watch which is sporty for anybody who's not seen it now.

Pete: More of a bookcase than a library.

Okay, what site is the ombudsman of, are you, are you having it? It's a bookcase, so.

Dan: Multiple bookcases.

Reegs: I'd have said it might have been a study, but there were a lot of books in there though. I think it really, I

Sidey: mean, it's in the picture

Reegs: of there being books on every, like,

Dan: Yeah, on

Sidey: Did the public have access to it?

Pete: it?

No,

Reegs: No, but

a private library.

Dan: a into

Pete: interdimensional beings did.

Sidey: Yeah. Okay. Yeah. It's, it's in Okay. Okay.

Pete: Sorry, a series I absolutely fucking loved. I don't know if anyone else is here. I feel like if anyone has it, it's you.

Maybe you read Psychoville.

Sidey: No, I've not seen it.

Pete: No, wow, please, please, please

watch

Sidey: I know. Yeah.

Pete: So good, it's like Steve Pemberton and Reese Shearsmith. Like, absolutely twisted, fucked up, hilarious type shit. In the second season, which isn't as strong as the first season actually, but one of Rhys Shearsmith's characters is a librarian, but he's a schizophrenic librarian.

And he's got, like, ridiculous OCD, so if people don't bring their books back on time he basically has to go to his happy place, but his happy place is like, this it's like his alter ego called, like, the s the silent singer, it's like him with, like, sharpened teeth doing, like, weird movements over in the corner, kind of, it's fucking mad, you've got to, you've got to watch it.

But there's one, there's one particular woman who keeps coming in to, to borrow books, but she, she had for, she's had for a long time an overdue book, which is, I think it's 50 Best Coastal Walks of the British Isles Volume 2 but hasn't brought it back, it's like a month overdue. So and he's like this is completely like fucking with him and he's unraveling and the next thing he starts like turning up in their house in the middle of the night wakes up their daughter and makes the daughter go and find the book and then Like the joke is he she gives him back like volume one But it's it's a terrifyingly funny Series and yeah, he is so, he is a librarian.

And

messed up.

Reegs: can

we have a quick Terry Pratchett one? I don't know whether they adapted this in the TV series, but in the Discworld novels, they had the unseen university. Did you ever read any of

Sidey: that?

Reegs: It was staffed. It was full of books that you can't read without dying or going mad. But the librarian was an orangutan.

So he was safe from it all. So. Yeah, he was, he was a great librarian. Indiana Jones in the last crusade.

Sidey: X marks the spot.

Pete: Yeah.

Reegs: in the, it was in Venice. Was it? Yeah.

Sidey: there.

Reegs: Oh, nice.

Dan: nice. When did you go there?

Sidey: June the 16th.

Dan: Oh,

Sidey: Yeah, they have to smash through the tile.

And I think,

Reegs: Fewer Nazis. Hopefully when you

Sidey: when you go. Yeah. I think Kingdom of the Crystal Tears is where they rode a motorcycle through the library, I think, in the university.

Reegs: Yeah.

Pete: erased that from my, from my memory, that film, Is it the new one out? Has it been out? Has anyone watched it? You've seen it? Has it

Sidey: Fucking

crap, yeah.

Pete: Yeah, okay.

Sidey: Sorry, but it is.

Pete: there. But yeah, good library content in Last Crusade anyway.

Sidey: Yeah.

Dan: then they have the guy Stamping, don't you?

Sidey: He does it in time. They, they smash through in time with the guys stamping the library books. Yeah. Seems a bit implausible that it

Dan: then he's kind of looking at his stamp like it's made

Pete: at the library

Reegs: his stamp, like

Dan: The, the whole film is pretty much in the library, in the breakfast club. They're they're in that big detention hall and it's filled with reference books and, and libraries books and

Sidey: like a library is, yeah.

Dan: library beers it's still a stone 80s classic yeah, that's why

Sidey: know what the title, do you know what the title is of the essay they're told to write?

Dan: Well, no, remind me.

Sidey: Who do you think you are?

Dan: are?

Reegs: I am.

Dan: ha ha ha ha ha! Yeah, okay. Maybe that's what, that's what they wrote. That's where it came from. But yeah, Pete, that's something, you know, that's on you, really. I mean, we've told you about it.

Pete: I've only, yeah, I don't know a lot about it. Is that like the, is it Kevin Bacon or something like that?

Sidey: No,

Reegs: man, Emilio Estevez and Michael Anthony Hall

Pete: so that's sort of era then.

Reegs: Ringwalt,

Sidey: Molly Ring Piece, yeah John Hughes

Reegs: yeah, Judd,

Oh, that's, that's good.

Dan: a good, good

Reegs: It's got the most realistic depiction of getting stoned ever where he like smashes the windows in the library because he goes mad on his reefer.

Dan: on his is his fun sticks,

Pete: you want to check out Star Wars Episode 2, Attack

Reegs: go on.

Sidey: on Star Wars Episode 2, Attack of the Clowns, widely acknowledged to be the best Star Wars film features the Jedi Archives, which contains the sum total of the entire galaxy's knowledge.

Reegs: Yeah,

Pete: Yeah, that's true. I mean, if we're allowing Dan's shit one from before, then Luke in Last Jedi has got a pile of books

Dan: people might not, people might not have seen my quizzical look there. Shit ones? Which

Pete: The one that was a bookcase that you tried arguing was

Reegs: Stella?

Interstellar? No, I had that on my list

Dan: that

Pete: Oh, did

Dan: Yeah, see

Pete: you were wrong as well.

Sidey: also got one that is almost certainly not going to be allowed, but it's still worth mentioning.

Are you

Pete: Okay. You're going to mention it

Sidey: comes around to me next case, you'll go now.

Dan: is an order

Reegs: one a bit like that as well actually.

Sidey: Yeah.

Pete: Right. Well, to, to, to, to read some more Hogwarts has a library.

Sidey: in every single film

Pete: I mean, obviously the library is definitely there in every single film, but it doesn't always necessarily add to the plot. But Philosopher's Stone they're looking up. It's Nicholas Flamel who is indeed the philosopher.

Sidey: He goes what's his name? Harry Potter goes around in the cloak, doesn't

Pete: invisibility

Sidey: Sniffing about. Yeah.

And also we learned that they've got. I don't know why but they keep all the fucking like horrendous dark magic

Pete: They got the restricted section. I imagine it's a lot of porn and stuff like yeah.

Reegs: Ant

Sidey: How to make dillies and stuff and that's where Voldemort learns all about

I think that's fairly like lax to have that just knocking

Pete: Like accessible to, to children where they can then like rip their souls apart and stuff. And it features in the Goblet of Fire as well where Harry's trying to work out how he can breathe underwater and everything.

And, and Neville offers, offers up Gillyweed.

Sidey: of my gear. Yeah. Yeah

Pete: Yeah, yeah.

Sidey: Yeah.

I had that on the list too.

Dan: the tallest building in the world Is a library, you know?

Sidey: it? Yeah.

Dan: Yeah? It's got so many stories.

Sidey: ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Reegs: Don't you know the Dewey Decimal System? Conan the Librarian. Do you remember that from UHF? Desperado. I didn't realize until looking into this, but she what was her name? The, Hyatt. Yeah, she was a librarian in Desperado. It

Dan: That is a library.

Pete: bookshop's not a library.

Dan: I just wanna troll

Pete: I thought it was a bookstore. It's a cool

Reegs: Yeah,

Pete: it's worth bringing up, and a film I haven't even thought about for about a decade.

I, would argue, but I might be

Reegs: I don't know, it's been so long since I saw

Pete: Yeah,

let's do it,

Dan: it a library? It might have been back in, you know, in those areas That might be the library.

Sorry. You dunno.

Sidey: what about

Dan: it seemed to

Sidey: the fortress of solitude in Superman?

Pete: Oh, is that his ice

Sidey: His ice cave, where he can go and get things and learn knowledge from the crystals. I don't know if it's So what constitutes a library? Is it just a collection of knowledge in book form? Because it's not necessary, because it's all sorts of different

Reegs: can have a

Sidey: Does it have to be accessible to the public?

Pete: Well this is your topic side, so I think really you need to nail down what the criterium is Okay.

Dan: Okay. We watched back in the day, American

Sidey: animals.

Dan: which was

Sidey: sort of a waste from

Dan: a library where they'd kept some really rare,

Pete: a museum, Dan, it's not a No, I'm

joking.

Dan: It was yeah, there was museum pieces within the library setting. And it was based on a true story, wasn't it? This, this was some kids who

Sidey: who Yeah, the kids, the real protagonists were in the film. Who

Dan: who realized how bloody easy it would be because they were securing millions of pounds worth of these books basically by an 85 year old woman who was, you know, in charge of it all.

And they thought, well, we can, we can pull the wool over her eyes, but yeah, everything kind of went wrong. But yeah, library, library time, they had to be quiet at many different occasions.

Pete: I've only got a couple more. One of those is Monsters University. And this is one where they're in their, what are they? Fraternities and stuff like that. And there's a cup that they have to win and they're in the really shit one.

I think it's called Uzma Kappa. And what are the, there's loads of different tasks that are set. But one of them is they've got to go into the library and, and get something. Without making noise because there's this sweet old little monster. Whose name is Margaret Gesner. And she's giving it the shush anytime anyone makes any noise But if someone makes a lot of noise, she like rears up as this enormous like multi tentacled being and like Absolutely, like fucks them into the books and the floor and stuff like that.

And so they end up losing but Uzumakapa thankfully managed to to get their whatever it is They're trying to get and stay in the race and they win that by the way, they win that competition, which is a spoiler

Dan: What is there's tons of those kind of library stories where you know, all the answers are there and they're cramming it all night and they get their little green lights that just hang over and and it's often the ones that they're going through books of the occult or something late at night and they're pulling off dusty shelves or something.

You creak it over and it's always those same green lights that just hang over. And Yeah, it's so have you got any of them? I haven't

Sidey: Well, I think they do appear in the library Clarice Starling goes into one, when she, there's some researchers,

Reegs: The Death's Head Moth.

Sidey: and they're racing, or they're playing on a checkers board or something? They're, they're racing them along and they have those in there, I think, yeah, yeah.

Reegs: Yeah, that's good.

Well, as you're a lifelong fascist, I know side and you were as delighted as I was to see books being burnt in the day after tomorrow.

If you remember that the Roland Emmerich

Sidey: Yeah. That's just

Reegs: New York Public Library

Sidey: Well, we also see them getting burnt in Last Crusade as well, because they're actually doing the Nazi version of it. Yeah. Yeah. I preferred that

Reegs: bit worried

Pete: but

Reegs: Pete's not going to let me have this. It was Atonement. I don't know if you ever saw that. Director Joe Wrights.

Dan: I think,

Sidey: No, it's like a period

Reegs: Yeah. It's got a fantastic like two minute tracking shot along the way.

It's Keira Knightley. It's this like thoughtful and emotional thing. Romantic tale, a tale of star crossed lovers. Keira Knightley, James McAvoy and has a scene early on where she's getting plowed in a library.

Sidey: Do you see her

Pete: wouldn't I allow that?

Reegs: well, because it's possibly more like a small private study that has a lot of books on the shelf, but a lot of books like it's like they're in a stately manner and it has a room dedicated to books.

So I would consider that to be a library, but

Pete: In stately homes you do have rooms called the

Reegs: Yeah. And I think that

Sidey: like in Clue. The movie, and it's a murder location.

Potentially. So that film, I think we talked about it because we reviewed it. There were different Versions of the film, but sent out to different cinemas. So you may have seen a different ending to the film than somehow as you saw the film.

True. Yeah. Alright. Right. Alright.

Pete: So it could have been Professor Plum in the,

Sidey: the, in the library room with the dli. Yeah. Yeah.

Pete: Huh.

Dan: come back and say oh, wasn't it good when he did it? He goes. No, he didn't do it

Sidey: just

came to me there. The start of Black ADD series two, all the titles of the program are indeed probably from

Pete: I

Sidey: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And then I had beauty and the Beast, the Beasts Library, but Barking Enormous Walls, bit like the Citadel one, but there's no, you can't see any means to get the books from the top down.

Dan: what about was

top secret, there's a big library in there and they've even got the the

The wheels on the ladder that kind of skirt along and it's the professor who's got the I think he's got a magnifying glass holding up to his eye.

And when he takes it away, his eye is still that big.

Pete: Have

Dan: Have you seen that

film with Val

Reegs: film? It's called

Dan: called It's Secret.

Reegs: phone called, like, yes? Let me know

Sidey: he has the phone call with like, Yes, yes, okay, let me know if there's any changes in his condition. He's dead.

Dan: It's all good.

Reegs: Isn't it filmed backwards as well? It's something

Dan: one moment. He's he's like he's built an escape thing He goes he's got a spoon and then it's like the channel tunnel. He's built It's got lights and it's got paint jobs along the side arrows pointing the way and he's built it all with a

Reegs: I'm pretty sure that whole scene is played backwards as well.

It's something completely crazy. We should watch it

Dan: Well, it should be it was quite funny because even at the end is they they said no and oh, thank you so much Thank you so much.

And he goes and i'll miss you. Most of all mr. Scarecrow who hasn't been in it at all Like, you know, it's not it's just silly. But

Sidey: there's a

Dan: sure there's a library dead poet society the book of life and hugo all had libraries

Sidey: Cool. So, are we ready to whittle it down?

Pete: Yeah, go on

Reegs: Go on.

Sidey: on. Go for

Pete: Oh, Citadel for me.

Reegs: I am gonna go for Interstellar.

Pete: Interstellar. I'm

Sidey: Dan?

Dan: for American Animals.

Sidey: I'm going for season 8 episode 22 of The Simpsons in Marjory Trust.

It's the one where Mr. Sparkle at home has to phone Hokkaido. He goes to the library and borrows the Hokkaido phone directory and then he dials for about a minute. It just goes, duh, just presses a minute. It's just like one of those jokes where they just go on and on with it. It's really great. I love that

Reegs: great. Yeah, good

Dan: good one. so after your first midweek recommendation of Hush, which was a terrifying slasher horror film, you decided to turn the volume down again, but turn the, the scare factor up with this one, A Quiet Place. When I was looking at this, I see they've done A Quiet Place 2.

Sidey: and a third

Reegs: a third

Dan: Is it up to 3 already? Right. Okay. So

I wouldn't say I missed it. I would have avoided this. Because it's scary even the title acquired. It's just Why why would I do it? Why would I do it to myself pretty scary, but i've done it, but I did it Yes. Yes for the pod

Sidey: Mm-Hmm.

Reegs: This was directed by The Office's John Krasinski.

I don't know if anybody watched that show, but I did.

Dan: office is

Sidey: the

American office No,

Reegs: Yeah, I mean it ran for nine seasons and did like four hundred episodes, well two hundred episodes or something. So it was it's own thing in it's own right And

Dan: He played

Reegs: sort of Tim equivalent Jim

Sort of audience surrogate the looking at the camera type.

So this was a bit of a departure I guess this was his directorial debut and he stars in it alongside his wife

Sidey: Motion captured it as well.

Reegs: D

Sidey: The creatures, yeah, he motion captured them.

Dan: Which, which which one's he then, is he the dad?

Sidey: beard. He's the little kid. Yeah,

Dan: right? Yeah, Fucking hell. So it's it, it starts off in

Reegs: It's

Dan: yeah, it's a, it's a street. It's deserted. We see these children. Playing in the aisles of a supermarket or

Pete: Well, they're tiptoeing through the

Dan: Yeah, and um Well one kid's after an airplane and

Sidey: A space shuttle?

Dan: A space shuttle.

Yeah and it's Just saved in in seconds from

Sidey: Well, they're there, they're there to get medication, aren't they?

Because the, the oldest boy is not very well and they're scavenging and if they find some medication and the daughter comes over and reassure her that he's going to be okay. But yeah, you'd like to say the youngest has seen some toys.

Dan: toys.

this bottle of pills, which is like a rattle I mean, fucking

Sidey: Oh, we don't know why

Dan: No, but every you get that straight away, that sense, and the film title, A Quiet Place, and everybody's

creeping

Reegs: and also you've had that, the first thing it just says day 89, so you're told straight away you are sort of three months after

Pete: Streets

Reegs: know, like everything's so that it's pretty, you know?

Pete: Yeah, but it looks like they're on like a supply run anyway, because they've got a big backpack, and the parents have got big backpacks

Sidey: really reminiscent of like walking dead, like supply runs, that sort of thing. Yeah.

Dan: And this space shuttle toy. It's this little kid wants it.

He's probably like four or something and he's he wants to have this toy But dad says no, you can't take it with him too loud. He doesn't say this he kind of Signs it.

Reegs: Yeah, but he signs it in a, in a communicating, in a sort of urgency that you immediately understand the importance of keeping quiet, right?

It's

Sidey: they weren't gonna subtitle it,

Pete: but they

Sidey: No, but they weren't they they filming It was out Right. Had subtitles for the sign signing.

Yeah. They weren't going to originally That was the idea that

Pete: what the

Sidey: people were caught onto what the, the meaning is, I dunno.

Dan: I think it's helpful that they did in the version I watched. And anyway, they They got to leave the the space shuttle and the batteries that are in it Like fucking hell you can't make any noise like it's too loud

Sidey: There's a shot of a newspaper outside. Isn't it? It's the

Reegs: It's sound.

Dan: It sounds sound

Reegs: I really hate the way they gratuitously drop stuff like that in, I, I, I guess they have to,

Dan: and they all kind of filter out. So, the little boy and the mom who who wasn't very well and the mom they walk out, dad walks out, and his eldest sister sort of looks at him and goes, look, and she hands him the the toy and goes, You know, holds her finger up to her mouth.

Let's not tell anyone and then walks out leaving him last in there with the batteries looking at him Winking at him and he just grabs the batteries And the next thing we do they're heading off. It's like,

Reegs: Well, they're walking barefoot on sand.

Dan: Yeah, well, that's it. They're walking down this little track over a bridge. It's like, stand by me.

They're all just, like, one in front of each other and there's

Pete: that irritated me. I'm like, if at this point I know something, there's a lot of danger around. You're two parents with three kids. One parent at the front, one parent at the back. So you can see what the, instead of leaving the four year old, like, at the back, like, clearly, like, who could just fuck around with anything at any

Reegs: They're preoccupied with the son, who's very unwell, isn't he? I think that's what's happening. And he's carrying, or she, she's

Pete: the eldest son, yeah.

Reegs: yeah. Yeah so, yeah. Anyway, he is left at the back,

Dan: But then you hear like the do do do do do do do or something. He's put the fucking batteries in the toy and

Sidey: mum knows straight away

Dan: They turn around dad's running back towards this kid and we as the viewers don't know what the fuck's going on other than something's about to go down and The little kid is just whisked away.

Pete: Yeah. You see some like bushes rustling. You know, something's

Dan: We see it like what it's something like venom out of

Sidey: it's, costing like a Z xenomorph and a venom and a something

Dan: It's some huge kind of long bladey, you know stick insect kind of creature has Just,

Sidey: But the, yeah, the kid is

Dan: the kid away and gone, dead. He's, he's

Sidey: Day 200 and

Dan: and then we flick, yeah, sort of a, you know, nine months,

Sidey: No

Nine

Dan: months, a year into the, into the future.

Sidey: Was it?

Okay

Dan: and, and, you know, As a viewer then, you're like, Fuckin hell, you know what you're up against. You know, you've seen a good sign of this, and this isn't already gonna finish a happy ending. It's like, geez, it's, it's a survival story, isn't it? And, Yeah, they've they've kind of battened down into this house now and they're they've got a bit of a routine on And you just sort of get to know them and this lifestyle and nothing said it's absolutely silenced the whole way through They're just signing kind of bits and pieces.

They don't seem All that unhappy like they've got to a place where they're handling

Pete: they've just gone a year without without you assume without incident because you don't get much of a chance with these creatures so i'm assuming i mean obviously this is like horrific what's happened to the family but it's nearly a year later or whatever it is and

Reegs: They've stabilized themselves to some degree.

They have a house. He set up an elaborate surveillance system of monitors and lights because these things will learn navigate by sound only and are sort of effectively

Pete: Well it says it on a board in the room. Yes. Exactly, again, it's another like, here is what you need to know guys up on

Reegs: And there's three of them.

Yeah.

And

Dan: it, it tells the, the story a little bit through that, through you know, things that they've written down and objects that they've laid around and waiting. The way that they cook, it's kind of under the under the

Reegs: They don't have plates, they serve it on leaves.

Pete: Yeah. Cutlery would be a big no-no.

Reegs: And pretty

quickly we learn that Evelyn is pregnant.

Sidey: Which seems

Dan: which seems like

Reegs: Yeah. So, a meat suited noise machine. Basically.

Dan: you can't make a sound. Let's have a baby. I

Pete: I mean, I mean, I've made some fucking shit choices in that regard, but this is worse.

Dan: yeah. Well, if there's like, you know,

Alien

stick insects outside that will hunt you down if you so much as fart, then yeah, they needed better kind of understanding of their

Pete: It also becomes apparent soon that the daughter is deaf.

Dan: Is she?

Sidey: I think we were, I think we were showing it right at the start. There's just slowly pans past her head and you can see the implant. Oh,

Pete: Oh, right. I didn't notice that, but it was in, in this kind of like, you know, scene setting part that I, I sort of deduced that

Sidey: been, and

Pete: and he's been trying to make,

Sidey: get an amplifier and get it to work. It's not working anymore.

and

she's frustrated about it.

Reegs: It's a pretty crazy thing though to have this choice in the movie. I mean, people, when they were watching it, obviously thought about this in a political way, right? Their choice to have a baby in this fucked up world where it's almost certainly going to get you killed.

Dan: Yeah

Pete: Well, again, also, if she fell pregnant, what are you gonna do about it?

It's kind of like home abortion or I'm assuming, yeah, but the thing is, is like there's, you know, there's newspapers, like recent kind of newspapers as well, so I'm assuming that like the world is still functioning to some degree. I mean, they're obviously printing, you know, there's a press that would make a lot of noise, you dunno.

I

started like thinking, well, that that newspaper is fairly recent because attacks are happening and they're there, you know, this is going on in Shanghai and this is happening here. So,

Reegs: Well, the only ever, ever other signs of life are distant bonfires that

Dan: Yeah.

Pete: but you think there's still like, there must still be a civil, like there must be civilization somewhere.

Plus they've still got running water and electricity and all of this kind of stuff. So.

Reegs: well, but a lot of that is shown to be the home

Pete: That's why

Reegs: and all that. That's why they've

Dan: And though that might like learning that they've done two and three maybe you know, there will be other cities and survivors they'll bump into but This one is just focused around this family and they they're living of course, there's a load of fucking corn around.

Always is. Cause there's nothing scarier than a load of fucking corn. Yeah, yeah, you know that they're gonna be running through there at some point and there's gonna be some scary shit. There's this big barn.

Like, seed silo thing which looks like an accident waiting to happen as well.

Reegs: and well, occasionally Lee goes up there to mourn his son, doesn't he? And look through pictures

Dan: looking pictures and

Pete: Yeah, they've all got their own little kind of rituals to, to mourn the

Dan: their Yeah, in silence and yeah, it's, it's all kind of grim and, Not much in the way of of dialogue until the the dad and the eldest son that They go off to a fishing expedition kid's absolutely terrified and he goes, he said, look, there's nothing to be scared of.

And he goes, you are fucking kidding, aren't you? Like, I mean, he's signing all this, but you get there and he's like, what do you mean? There's nothing to be scared of. Literally is everything to be scared of.

Sidey: they, they do have a nice little moment because he's able to show them that while the fucking waterfall is coming down and that's making a load of noise, we can fucking talk.

Dan: We can talk and we can make

Sidey: and make some noise.

Dan: and you think how has he even learned to speak or you know, he's I mean Right. He's a bit older and if it's a few years into it, you think fucking hell. We just you'd have forgotten

Pete: worth saying this isn't just like a frivolous like father son like fishing trip. It's like they're getting a food. And so but also the like the point behind it is that, you know, something could happen to the dad and he's not he doesn't want to say that to his son, but if something were to happen to him then, you know, they all need to be like learned in the ways of how to survive and what to do and, and understand that, you know, basically that if there's a louder noise going on around, you're even okay to talk, but you have to make sure that, you know, waterfall is a, you know, a good one,

Reegs: And teaching him to

Pete: teaching him to fish, to be able to provide and so on, but the daughter, the deaf daughter there, there seems to be a bit of friction between her and, I mean, I don't know if that's the light that she, maybe she's a teenager or whatever she is but like

Reegs: well, no,

Pete: Well, I I know yeah

Reegs: blame.

I mean, he says it in the waterfall scene, right? That's he uses the opportunity when he's got a voice with his father to, to say, you know, be easier on

Pete: Yeah. It's not,

Reegs: fucked

Pete: Yeah. He's, there's a, there's a, a, a tough

Dan: there's a, there's a, there's a tough relationship. She carries, she carries the blame.

Reegs: They all blame

Dan: They're all mums. Later on, mum blames herself because she's carrying one, but she had a hand free and you're like, Oh fucking hell.

Everybody feels terrible about it. And yeah the, the daughter though is, is kind of the, obviously the younger one and she's the one that's feeling like it's her fault. And dad is just explaining, you know, maybe for the first time in, in. You know that he's actually used his voice and actually can speak and to hear and you just think

Pete: speak if they're hearing it, you

Dan: Yeah back at

Sidey: Well, there's some shoddy workmanship on the

Pete: that nail! I'm like, oh, that's not gonna play into anything, like, cause she like, catches it on a bag on the way up, doesn't

Sidey: doesn't she?

Reegs: But you get about half an

Pete: is the nail just in the middle of the stairs as well,

Dan: everybody keeps avoiding it even at one point the big monster comes out I think is he gonna stand on it himself?

He's

Pete: mean, there are, there are they've even put like paint marks on the floorboards and the stairs where it's obviously best to stand so it doesn't creak and so on. Big fucking nails stood out the minute. And I guess it's tough to like hammer that nail

Sidey: out. Well that's what I was thinking, you'd have to saw it

Pete: yeah, I don't, I

Reegs: cork on the end would be the first thing to

Sidey: Yeah, but she stands on it.

1. She stands on it. You see her foot go right over it and down and she tries to muffle a scream.

Reegs: well, yeah. That's, she's gone into labor as well. I mean, that's part, that's probably worth

Pete: are broken. Yeah. Yeah. So

Sidey: all about her.

Reegs: And also, Regan has gone off as well, hasn't she? On,

Dan: Yeah, she,

Yeah,

Pete: she's gone off to, to the

Sidey: grave. Well, it's the site, the site of the

Dan: Well, for her it's just another quiet night, but things start kicking off because the rockets go up, which is a distraction as dad and brother is run

Pete: jumped,

Reegs: She

Dan: Oh, right, you're going

Sidey: a minute, she has to lift her foot off the nail. I was thinking about a tetanus shot, then

She's

pregnant, she's in labor, she's having contractions whilst trying to Navigate her way around the house and hide because now the monster's there. She smashed

Pete: something when she stood on the nail, didn't

Sidey: Yeah, the monsters are there, so she's got all that to deal with. She runs or hops over to something and flicks a switch and it turns on. She's a guy

called timer. All

the red lights

Reegs: go on.

Sidey: go on outside, which is a warning for them out to know that shit's going down on site. And, yeah, she sets a timer, and then she goes into the bathtub.

And I think pulls a blanket over herself. But you see a load of blood and you see all sorts of stuff going on.

Dan: she's fully into

Sidey: it's tense as fuck. . Yeah.

Reegs: I

think at one point the monster is literally in the bathroom round her, and as she's giving birth,

Sidey: basic.

Dan: then, then we, we hear the, the rockets, but we have run through a little bit where the, the dad and the boy are going through the, the forest back.

And they meet some people, don't they? Yeah. Who, who don't make it and give us another

Pete: it and give us another one.

Well he's, he's looking at them and they haven't seen any,

Dan: Well he's, he's looking at him And we haven't seen anybody else in the film So when you see this guy in the woods, you're thinking Oh my Well, obviously they can't, you know, start talking and saying each other anything you can see this has happened to but he's About to explode out of just grief and and everything they would have survived, you know 300 400 daisies people as well and suddenly his wife's down on the floor dead and he just screams out and he quickly picks up his boy and hides behind a tree doesn't

Sidey: he?

Dan: just shows him behind and You can hear this kind of,

Sidey: It's almost like the predator noise

a

Dan: Yeah. A little bit

Sidey: yeah,

Dan: crickety.

Pete: Yeah, but they make it back to the, to the

Sidey: Seize the red lights. Whatever.

Pete: Seize the red light and then get, sends the sun to, to light to let off the rockets.

Sidey: becomes clear that they've they have got this procedure set up for an event tragedy just like this with all these fireworks and

Dan: this procedure set up for them to be charged with just like this, with all these fireworks.

It

happens like that. You know, she screams essentially just as the rockets go off, she lets out like a, a well overdue scream. And just ah,

Reegs: but we still don't really know what's happened to her. 'cause then it does come to John Krasinski perspective, doesn't he? Is he's running in and searching the house.

Yeah. And he finds the bathtub and it's kind of just full of blood and nothing else. You're like, oh god. she

Dan: kind of wakes up and he goes. It's okay, we can talk. And he goes, what, you got the frequency right? So we, we learned that there's something to do with the frequency. And the, the girl is in the cornfield looking for her brother.

And

Reegs: The baby is in a box with a tiny little fucking face

Pete: Yeah, like

Sidey: He gets it, yeah, he gets it, puts the oxygen mask on it, and then puts it in a,

Reegs: Well, it's basically

Sidey: A coffin,

Pete: a cockpit.

He, to get in today. He ran into Tractor tyre. Tractor tyre. And it

Dan: he, he, he ran out after the rockets to get into there.

He ran into a tractor, a tractor tire. And it looks pretty bad for him, but she's can see the light and this fucking creatures just on her shoulder. And then she starts playing with her.

A hearing aid, and it lets off some kind of shriek that she can barely stand, you can see her hold it. But the monster doesn't like it either, and he's, he fucks off.

Reegs: well you see, it's like, it's sort of, it's skull plates kind of open up a bit and you can see like some squishy pink shit inside.

Dan: Yeah,

Reegs: it's fucking

Dan: was, it was, really,

Pete: really,

Dan: really, really disgusting. So, At one point then she's woken up the she and the mother's saying now you've you need to protect the kids where the hell are the kids you need to get out there and do something if you're not doing it who's doing it and the kids are on top of the silo and The daughter doesn't feel that dad's gonna come and save her.

She does. She doesn't feel that love You know, she doesn't feel like she's got to do it herself and she doesn't quite feel I think you know for And she's no we've got to rely on ourselves and he's like no dad's gonna come don't worry He's gonna come they've lit a fire on top and Anyway, he ends up falling down through the little kid into this Silo, which is basically Full with grain and he's sinking like it's quicksand.

He's just going through there and

Reegs: and Yeah,

Dan: Yeah, really did and I've I've heard a story about that before happening. You know, I don't know if it was

Reegs: was 32, 000 people a year, Dan?

Well, no, I just made it up, but it probably is something

Dan: Yeah.

Sidey: But a panel of the thing falls and nearly like severs him in half but then they they're able to use that to kind of like grab on

Reegs: Like a lifeboat.

Sidey: goes she goes completely under and he

Dan: Trying to

Sidey: he has to yank her up.

They they do kind

Pete: rescued, yeah, rescued on the door that's like keeping them afloat on the grain, one of the fucking creatures is

Dan: Yeah, it's back in there.

Reegs: This bit didn't make a lick of sense, because they then use the, the lifeboat as a shield to prevent themselves from getting attacked, but they don't drown. In the, the

Dan: well they're holding onto it.

Reegs: let's not think about it too much.

Pete: much. No,

Dan: yeah. Bit

Pete: so is it the frequency again that that like

Sidey: Yeah it goes

Pete: he didn't just like bowl straight through the side of this silo.

Reegs: He's playing some Shania Twain, Texas.

Dan: Yeah, I think

Reegs: over a

Sidey: Chris, Chris would have been a fan.

Dan: And she, well, they, they've at least got a way out because the, the creature is just bowled a huge hole in the in the side of the, the silo, which gives them a, an exit because otherwise they were fucked in there. Mm. But they. They managed to find dad anyway he's he kind of gives him a big hug, but Fuck it if they're not on the on the charge again, and they managed to find themselves in a truck Which is just parked at the top of the the road and they all

Pete: was quite annoying, this bit. Bearing in mind, we've just seen the creature, like, go through the door of the silo, like he was fucking, like a hot knife through butter, and then it can't get in the

Dan: No, he's beating the car like a drum, but maybe it

Pete: then the car itself doesn't make any noise whatsoever, when it's, I know it hasn't got the engine on, but when they roll, you know, down the hill and stuff, that's not going to alert any

creatures or

Dan: before that, dad has given an almighty roar in which to draw the attention of the big beast

Sidey: because he does the thing first. They're in the, they're getting, they're under siege in the truck and panicking. And they look back and he's been wounded.

'cause he had the thing, he was gonna whack

Dan: he's got an

Sidey: And he stands up and the daughter fucking looks at him and he says, I love you. I've always loved

Dan: yeah, yeah, he signs

Reegs: miss that out, yeah, it's the heart and soul of the movie.

Especially after they've earlier had this conversation about how much can you, you know, what can you do for your kids, and you can never protect them enough, and all this shit. So yeah.

Dan: yeah,

Sidey: he does the

Dan: they, they, and then he does the big roar and sacrifices himself. He doesn't get a good swing on the axe. He just kind of seems to take

Sidey: it. He timed it

Dan: yeah, he timed it real bad but the kids anyway, he takes the handbrake off and they silently roll down the hill perfectly Into the mother's loving arms.

And they're all safe then down in the in the bottom of the house again

Pete: Well,

Dan: Well, not really that safe. Cause you've still got a scammy moorside. It fucking comes downstairs, the thing. And it doesn't hurt itself on the little nail. I

thought it was going to trip up on the nail. It

Sidey: It was savvy, it was savvy there. We do occasionally get a look at its super ears, don't we? When it flares up its thingies. Because it's bulletproof, right?

We're told they're indestructible.

Pete: or something on it, yeah.

Sidey: We get another go of the the whatever what's the frequency kenneth when she

Dan: they go into all these UVF radios and everything that's set up and he, he

Sidey: time she didn't realize though Did she the first time she didn't realize it was that this time she's like, oh, hang on. It's this thing and so she chucks it on the pa

Dan: The PA, yeah. And He doesn't like it. And in fact, he falls, he falls over dead until he gets up and alive again.

Sidey: alive again.

Dan: And,

he opens up his plates and there seems to be a space where she can shoot him right in the

Sidey: in

Dan: does. And you see the, the, the blood, they bleed red.

Reegs: And

I think on the monitors you see several more running

Sidey: towards him

Reegs: towards him and she cocks the thing in a quiet place too.

Dan: Specifically,

Sidey: Which presumably they learned, I

haven't seen

part two, but

Dan: seems like you've got

Sidey: seems like you've got the freedom to say it would just be a case of going around killing

Reegs: of go around

frequencying

Dan: going

around

Pete: seen

Sidey: probably not as

Reegs: I haven't. No, I would watch it though. Cause I did like this.

Sidey: I thought this was okay, but I, I didn't, felt like, I didn't feel like I needed another two films of it.

Pete: I didn't feel like, I didn't feel like I needed another two films with it. Not anything like as good as those still liked a couple of jump scares and stuff like that

Sidey: I don't know that it was necessarily that

Pete: did fucking annoy me about like how the aliens could do this one minute and then couldn't do that The next

Sidey: I felt like it was a really good concept, but the concept itself kept taking me away. When it came back to their

Reegs: doesn't bear too

Sidey: surveillance thing, I'm like How did you build that silently?

Like, you

Reegs: Yeah, yeah, yeah. It doesn't

Sidey: bank of like receiving stuff and everything. I kept thinking about noise, noise. It makes noise noise, which is my own stupid, like I should have just suspend

Pete: I did do is straight after the film, I went for a piss and I did it as quietly as possible.

Reegs: Like

Well, it does make you realize just how, like, loud everything is. And I bet watching this in the cinema was an event. Because everybody, you know, long stretches of this movie are completely silent. It is 38 minutes before there is a single line of dialogue in this

Pete: like audible

Reegs: dialogue. Audible dialogue, yeah.

Dan: is like me coming home on a, on a Friday night or something when, you know, everyone's asleep and the missus is in bed and you're just like, you know, one sound and fucking whole house is coming crashing

down.

Reegs: down. you just,

Dan: just, you know, every little crack on the, on the stairs going up, don't step on that stair. That's a creaky one and going above.

Reegs: Just stand there, girl,

Dan: Don't, they've just out, they've just gone down, don't leave her asleep.

Reegs: gonna get us all killed. But also that part as well, when you are a parent, like it's a pretty emotional stuff in terms of, you know, examining what it's like to lose a child and that sort of stuff. So I did find it quite emotional as well. And I, his big act of self sacrifice kind of got to me a little bit.

Pete: Of got a little bit annoyed by the film by then. I didn't hate it, but like I said, I, I, okay, I, I didn't feel the, the, the gut retching bits as, as much as.

Reegs: I like to good premise and well made. I don't know whether it was successful

Sidey: Oh well, well, segue there.

Reegs: Was, there were

Sidey: 17 million dollars to make. What do you think it took at the box

office?

Pete: 35,

Reegs: a hundred, a hundred, a hundred,

Dan: office? 35.

Sidey: 341 million, that's decent isn't it? Yeah, yeah. Oh lovely,

Dan: love these scary shit things, don't they?

Reegs: Well, I think it's good.

Dan: It is good, but actually, Hush that we did for the midweek, I think was scarier, better, and cheaper to make.

Pete: Yeah.

Yeah,

Sidey: was definitely that last time, I was definitely sure, yeah.

Pete: In fact, I'm trying to now wrap my head around this, but I wouldn't watch A Hush 2 because it the first one scared the fucking piss out of me and I'm not gonna watch it, and I wouldn't I wouldn't watch the first one again, or the second one, but I would watch A Quiet Place 2, which in a sense is, like,

Sidey: I don't think it's necessarily meant to be a terrifying

Pete: it was, it wasn't.

Sidey: like a thrillery suspense

Pete: yeah, yeah. But it didn't go into, into the, I don't know, it just, it was lacking something for me a little

Sidey: I just thought she absolutely 100 percent would have been killed during the

birth. Like, 100%.

like, I just couldn't get over that.

Reegs: Well, it doesn't, the plot

Sidey: But it doesn't

Reegs: that you can, you can, it doesn't make a lick of sense really, but it's, it's a good movie with a good concept, a good premise, good acting, well directed.

Yeah

Sidey: It says debut as well, so that was

Dan: Yeah, good debut

Pete: that was

Dan: Okay strong recommend

Sidey: Dick and Dom in the bungalow.

Dan: Never heard of this

Sidey: So there are, it's like a full episode of stuff that happens, but I just distilled it down to a four minute chunk of when they're playing bogeys in a library.

Dan: Which I've not heard of these two what Did you watch this first time around or any

Sidey: I was being too old when this first came out.

Reegs: I've never heard of them though. I thought they were all, they look set to go the whole like Ant and Dec route, didn't they? So like from early stardom right up, but then I think one of them did a load of coke or something. But this was pretty funny. definitely. Yeah.

Sidey: They, they just don't know. They don't do much. I dunno. I dunno if they, anyone, anyone tell you they, they do. They made some political comments that maybe that, that people didn't like that.

Pete: but was it, was it like they were like a segment

Sidey: they had worked Saturday they had worked behind the scenes on another CBB show and then they'd just, you know, probably had an idea of something and pitched it and got this and it had done really well. It was one of those sort of shows that had.

Other bits in it. So it would they would host and then they would cut to a cartoon a bit like crusty's

So it had that do you want to know some of the cartoons are on it bat fink Tom tom and jerry looney tunes the new scooby and scrappy doo show tasmania So that sort of stuff, but they had regular segments and bogeys as one and this one in the library

Reegs: and basically, because

Sidey: it's come to work. Yeah.

Dan: called bollocks back in my day, but it's come to work, come to work, yeah,

Sidey: decibels. I'm lolling just thinking about it.

Reegs: It's

like golf, it's like the open, the British open, the commentary is amazing.

Dan: was, and it's the, they turned it into almost like the, the diving or something,

Sidey: a computer first and they're like crouched

Pete: almost like night

Sidey: people's

Pete: like, of the, of the, of the people who are obviously like real people in a library, like trying to get some

Sidey: So when they when they first start doing it, you can see there's a lady and she's giggling when they're doing it because she can see what they're up to.

But then there's other people are just

Reegs: Get moody!

Sidey: annoyed about it. But then I was I was thinking they must have had to sign a release to be on the BBC that you have

Reegs: go through.

They do have, right. So they do escalate the, the bogey word. Right. But they do, it's not mean-spirited. Like they,

Dan: No, they're just giggly schoolboys.

Reegs: to be doing

Sidey: when they, when it starts to get louder, not they're having YouTubers now they're having to build up to it.

He's going and he can't quite do it and they, they're giggling at that

Dan: 2, that's a 1. 2, that's really strong. Okay, it's John's go, John's go, John's go. Bogies. Oh, oh, it's a, it's a 1. 5. He's, the ball is firmly back. So they've, they've turned it into this with a commentary and as they tick tack and it's getting louder and louder and they're bringing in more and more people and he goes, bogies.

Oh my Lord. It's a 2. 2.

Pete: they're saying it in a silly voice, it's like, Bogeys!

Sidey: Did you laugh when you were watching

Dan: I did. Well, I didn't laugh until about the third or fourth time they've done it. When I. started to realize actually that they filmed this for

Sidey: Yeah, yeah, it's all real. Yeah, it's all genuine.

Dan: it is kind of in it and you get You know, you you start to laugh because they're laughing and they're just daft and you remember

Sidey: doing the wrong

Dan: kind of things at school or in in the worst possible moments

Pete: school where it's It was basically how loud can you say And it was, it would go rounds like it was like the back row. So it'd always be when the teacher had the back, like they had their back turn and it was like it's getting closer to me and it's already like four or five in and I'm going like

And

I've, and I'm just going, I'm going like, fuck, like that, like, and then, but next to me was Quarrel, like a mate, a mate, a guy who we all know here.

Reegs: it.

Who

Dan: gives

Pete: Who gives zero fucks. So this was basically a guaranteed getting caught doing it. So I think the teacher had like turned round at one point, maybe on mine. And then he's literally just stood up and screamed fuck at the top of his voice. He's just gone from like 1. 5 decibels to 50 decibels. And then that's like, right, that's like Saturday detention and everything.

And he just like shrugged his shoulders and that was it, like didn't care. Yeah.

Sidey: yeah.

This is amazing, absolutely

Pete: Yeah. Good value for four minutes as well.

Dan: four minutes fun. Yeah, this is one I'd like to

Reegs: watched it twice. Oh did you? Yeah.

I

Dan: think they do it again somewhere else, don't they?

Sidey: Yes, it's a repeated section of the show, yeah. Museums and all that, yeah,

Dan: yeah.

Pete: libraries is like the

Dan: Nando's, I saw one, it said, Bogies at Nando's. I

Reegs: say I think he bottled it quite

Sidey: He did, but they did one, they did one at the Sea Life Centre in London and they went up behind someone and screamed bogeys, and then the guy turned around and he had a baby, like, that was asleep, and he fucking went mental apparently. He was gonna kill him, yeah, so that was pretty good.

And they had a BBC up held a complaint against them in 2004. He's saying bogeys. No. After wooden McCort appeared nearly naked in promotions for the show on PPS deeming the materials beyond acceptable standards,

Reegs: He

used to wear a T-shirt saying Morning wood on it.

Sidey: Yeah. Ofcom Ofcom said that that breached children's programming regulations.

Yeah. 'cause it's a slang term for erections. I dunno. Yeah. Didn't that I know. He said it was merely a reference to a morning time slot and his surname. Yeah. There . Yeah.

Reegs: Funny.

Yes, very funny. Not sure I could have tolerated watching the whole program. I don't know if that was like

Sidey: No, that's why I, I cut it down just to this.

Yeah.

Pete: clever of you taking the probably the only

Sidey: this was funnier than harsh and a quiet place. Yeah.

Dan: Well, interesting fact about Richard McCourt, who is the, the Dick to the, the Dom. He's engaged to Katrina Bryan, who was star of Taggart and Nina and the Neurons and Molly and Mac.

And she also appeared in an Iron Brew advert where she named her newborn baby Fanny.

Pete: That

Reegs: Well, congratulations to them

Sidey: Yeah,

Dan: Yeah, strong

Reegs: Yeah,

Dan: No getting around that.

Wow.

Sidey: I,

Dan: It has been a quiet week. I.

I'm pleased we're through it to be honest because it's a scary week and although I enjoyed I actually enjoyed hush More than I thought I would do now that I've seen it and I realized I've made it is over

Sidey: We need some light relief, do we, this

Reegs: These were great choices this week.

More of

Pete: great choices this week.

Sidey: I wouldn't say that either of these were horror.

A slasher and a thriller.

Reegs: a, yeah.

Dan: He wasn't a thriller it was a scary jump scare there was a

Reegs: Post apocalyptic horror.

Pete: apocalyptic.

Sidey: we've had lots of post apocalyptic stuff. Reegs, is it you next?

Reegs: you next? Peter,

Sidey: Pete, you're away, aren't

Pete: am away.

Sidey: Dan, you're not away.

It's definitely not me, because this was me.

So, someone else will do something. All that remains is to say Sidey's signing out.

Reegs: to say something. And

Pete: And Peter is.

Dan: Dan's gone
