Ingrid Goes West & Mr Men

Ingris Goes West

Reegs: Welcome to Bad Dad's Film Review the podcast that's less parental guidance and more cinematic misguidance as we dissect movies with all the precision of a toddler's first haircut. This week we're spinning into the vortex of the top five circles in film because who doesn't love a bit of geometry with their popcorn in a cinematic, a cinematic roundup that's more twisted than an inflatable sausage dog at a balloon animal sex style convention.

Next up, you better check your privacy settings, cause we're sliding into Audrey Plaza's DMs with a look at 2017 social media comedy, Ingrid Goes West. And then for dessert this week, we're serving up a slice of pure nostalgia with a look at the Mr. Men, as Sidey graciously allowed us to watch Mr. Nosy, and therefore mock him even though your nose isn't really that big.

Sidey: media.

Reegs: All that's left to do is introduce this week's dad, starting with resident fossil Dan. A few years older than us, maybe, but at least he has wisdom, right? Or was that arthritis? Dan always tells us exactly how it is, even if the year it is is uncomfortable as a prostate exam at a family reunion. We also have Chris, the Romanian heartthrob with the attention span of a coked up squirrel.

If looks could kill, Chris would be a one man apocalypse. And we've also got bearded, curmudgeon, sidey. If hating Tom Hanks was an Olympic sport, he'd have more gold than Mr. T. And then there's me, Riggs. Hello. We

Dan: G'day!

Cris: We need to come, come up with a introduction for Riggs. You can't be just, this

Dan: Yeah, he gets away with it.

Each and every week,

Reegs: Yeah.

Cris: is me. Oh, and this is big bearded. I don't

Sidey: Yeah,

Reegs: Yeah. No, but that's the thing. Each

Cris: Oh, I, sorry. Jesus Christ.

Reegs: each. Well, no, it,

Cris: think about that, but.

Reegs: fine. He's, yeah. Yeah, well it's, that's the thing, isn't it? I just get to insult you each week and

Cris: Anyway, let's get the

Sidey: Anyway, let's pop the Cristal, because we had our best ever day of download yesterday.

Reegs: Mm.

Sidey: Yesterday being

Cris: presumably. Yes, that's what we were

Sidey: all

Reegs: the dads were cooking,

Sidey: Yes, that's probably what it was, actually, yeah.

so

the numbers have kind of like, it's boring to talk about, I guess, but been okay. And then all of a sudden they've just like everyone in the world seems to have started listening in the last

Reegs: world seems to start listening to it.

Thanks

Sidey: Thanks for everyone who listens really, I

Reegs: to it.

Cris: well done.

You've made it in life if you've been listening to us.

just

Dan: this guy who goes, what, me? Yes, you.

Sidey: all the people in Australia who listen to us.

Dan: Apart from them?

Sidey: Just kidding.

Dan: No. G'day

Sidey: them.

Dan: Shrimp on the barley.

Sidey: Did you watch anything this week, Daniel?

Dan: Yeah, did in

the

cinema, I think I might have mentioned it last time, we went to see Oppenheimer but it's called Barbie this week.

Sidey: Oh, so you've done the Heimer.

Dan: we've done the Barbieheimer

Sidey: was better

Dan: Oppenheimer, by a long

Sidey: 'cause there was no Ryan Gosling in it.

Dan: Yeah, it was just more of a proper film the Barbie for me is, there's a lot of hype there which, I just think it won't stand the test of time very well,

Cris: Is Barbie

Dan: Maybe it will,

Sidey: no not long enough in my opinion

Dan: It was, it was, I mean, it wasn't a bad film, not getting any, like, any negative for it, but just because it has been so hyped And, you know, it's like in the, Oh, it's got an Oscar nomination.

I don't know. It's not that good, but there you go.

Sidey: It did win last night. It did win one of the sort of I don't know fringe

Dan: Sound or

Reegs: but Oppenheimer

Dan: like, no, it won the song. I think it won the best song,

Sidey: I did yeah

Dan: And and it was, you know, it had lots of things like that and popularity. It will probably take more money than all the other films.

Cris: It also appeals to a wider range of people.

Oppenheimer wouldn't appeal to young girls.

Reegs: It sold a billion though, didn't it? It made a bi, I mean it made a billion So Oppenheimer.

Sidey: Oppenheimer

definitely definitely took advantage or benefited from the Bob

and Heimer marketing.

Cris: yeah, of

Sidey: Because, I

think in any other year in no way would have done that.

Reegs: It's a Christopher Nolan film. People just go and watch it 'cause

Sidey: I

Dan: They

Cris: I really enjoyed it though, so I can't really argue. I've not watched Barbie yet, but I will do it, so,

we'll figure

Dan: out. But yeah, it was there was a, there was a lot of TV and, and bits and pieces watched as well, which I can't really remember, but I know that I didn't really do much else other than sit myself down and watch stuff.

Sidey: what about you chris

Cris: I've watched a movie called Bank of Dave,

Dan: Oh, I've seen that.

Yeah.

Cris: It, I really liked it. I thought it was, it was quite funny and it's based on a true story that actually exists and, and the story exists and it's basically a story about a guy from Burnley who, who after 150 years of no one trying to apply for opening a bank, a private bank, he goes and he applies for a private bank and long story short, they actually approve it.

And then he has to raise the money and they do a Def Leppard concert at the Turfmoor Stadium. And it's, it's actually, I quite enjoyed it. It's a British film. There's a few actors. It's not going to win any Oscars, speaking of Oscars, but it was, I, I quite enjoyed that. And I watched a movie called The Outfit. It's also on Netflix. And it's, it's a movie that could be a play. I guess in the theater, all the action happens in a, in a Taylor's back office kind of in his shop, basically. It's a, an English guy in Chicago in the fifties and it's to do with some mafia organizations and

how

Dan: that, Mike?

Mark. Lance in It

Cris: yes, I think so.

He's an older, like a bit bold English man.

Dan: Yeah. I'd seen

Cris: And they called him, they call him English. I

Dan: I haven't seen it. I've just seen the trailer. I, I really

Cris: it, I've just seen the

Dan: in a, pretty much

Cris: the

Dan: Yeah.

Nice. same

Cris: on

Dan: clever, yeah.

Reegs: I caught Homefront in the Man Cave on Saturday night, a Jason Statham action vehicle.

Dan: No, we hadn't. It was just one that was on.

Reegs: It's one of the lesser known ones it's reasonably interesting because it was produced by Sylvester Stallone and the script originally was a Rambo sequel that was then made into what became a very, it wasn't really high on the Statham list, like the action and the setup and

Dan: In the beginning,

Reegs: He has the best hair, like he's got a full long hair, like, you know, he looks sort of Hogan esque

Sidey: Like when Homer has hair. Yeah,

Reegs: exactly like that.

So it's really worth seeing the foot, the

Dan: It's not far off

Reegs: or 15 minutes. Yeah, it's not far off that. So strong recommend for Statham's hair in Homefront.

Sidey: front.

Okay, we watched Wonka.

Dan: Oh, how was

Sidey: I didn't like it at all. No, it was garbage.

Reegs: it was garbage. No, he seems kind of sexless and

Sidey: he seems kind of sexless and

Reegs: but I

Sidey: Yeah, a bit feeble

Reegs: film.

It's a musical,

Sidey: It's pretty cool, but I didn't like the film. It's a musical, which I could go either way with musicals and this, like, bit of shit. Although the songs are by Neil Hannan, remember him from Divine

Comedy? So the, lyrically they're okay, but yeah. It just, it doesn't seem like the same

Wonka from the Gene Wilder one. Like he seems a little bit kind of like twisted and deranged where this one is just sing songs and it's nice and it's like, hmm, didn't really didn't really get

Dan: He's in June 2,

Sidey: Yeah, I'm gonna watch that next week.

Dan: isn't, there's another one coming. You know,

Sidey: Yeah, but they've already said that June Messiah. Yeah.

Dan: it doesn't, I hate that. Like,

Reegs: I, seriously, because that was the thing that was bothering me the first time round is they're only showing us half a movie. Now they're telling us it's only a third of a movie. I still haven't seen any of,

Dan: I'll, I'll wait to the The second one and the third one have

Sidey: I think they, you should see them on the big screen, but I, I, I haven't been cinema for, I don't think it's even in last year. So I'm, I'm going next week to

Dan: watch it.

If I went on the big screen to see the first one and had to wait like a year and a bit to see the I've forgotten it! I'm gonna have to have watched it

Sidey: do rewatch. and I also,

I haven't completed it yet. Started episode one. The Phantom Menace.

Reegs: Menace.

Alright.

Sidey: just thought that's due a rewatch. Fucking terrible.

Dan: Yeah,

Sidey: But still prequels

over sequels.

Dan: to see that around the year 2000

Sidey: three times to see that, yeah

not

Dan: better each time you watch it

Sidey: it. So there you go. That was my

view.

Dan: lots of viewing

Sidey: lots of viewing.

Dan: Well, we've got a hell of a theme this week and we've better get into it

Sidey: This is top five circles which I picked because I looked at something and it was

circular.

Right.

Dan: Clever,

Sidey: Yeah. That

was that as well. It was the wheel on my car actually. I was out trying to get the dog to go for a pee and I thought we need a topic and I just looked around and was like circle.

There you go. That's how we got to this. Should I tell you the first circle that I thought of from

Dan: Yeah.

Sidey: You know, for kids.

Dan: Right, yeah.

Sidey: Hard Sucker Proxy.

Dan: Oh, okay.

Sidey: Jim Robbins God, what's his name? Novel Barnes. He puts his cup of coffee down. It happens a few times and it leaves a circular mark and it becomes his idea and no one knows what the he's talking about until it becomes clear.

It's the they come up with all sorts of names for it. The Wacky Circumference is my favorite but it's the hula hoop. Yeah. You know, for kids and so that's what I thought of. We

did it on the pod. It's a Christmas movie a

Dan: I remember it. Yeah. I mean, they, they'll often use directors and filmmakers circles to show connectivity and things connecting.

And there's lots of symbolism around it, isn't there? One that isn't particularly symbolic of, of all those clever things is Signs which was a film around the aliens coming. circles

Reegs: a whole niche subsection of Crop Circle movies, yeah.

Dan: was Mel, wasn't it?

Sidey: Yeah, it? was M. Night Shyamalan. I think it was the follow up to Sixth Sense? Or was it after Breakable?

Dan: I

think it was, it was in around that and it

Sidey: hated this film.

Dan: I,

Loved the thought of it. You know, it was like, oh wow, it's going to be really good And it was just a massive letdown and the sign was Avoid it.

Reegs: He played a, a preacher, didn't he and his wife had died and explore sort of themes of extraterrestrial life and faith and baseball bats. 'cause the And

Sidey: being hurt by water and invading a planet that 70% covered in water and

Dan: planet that's 70 percent covered

Reegs: whack in Phoenix. It

Dan: Joaquin Phoenix it

Reegs: Yeah, Abigail Breslin I think was

Dan: Abigail Breslin I think

Sidey: High hopes high hopes, but it.

didn't deliver

Reegs: And parodied in Scary Movie 3, I know we've got at least one listener who is a Scary Movie franchise fan, Beaver, I think. And memorably Scary Movie 3 has the aliens leaving cropped circles. Well, not more accurately a sign with the words attack here written in cropped. Cartman gets an anal probe and South Park also featured.

Crop circles as well. So, and chicken little was another crop circle. One. Did you ever see that movie?

Sidey: No. I have

Dan: seen that. It's

Reegs: It's the weird boy who cried wolf story turned into, I think, you know, a terrible sort of animated cartoon. It's sort of like one of the real low points of that sarcastic humor and fart jokes type style of filmmaking.

Sidey: We watched Invasion the Apple Plus series, and that starts off with a crop circle. And it's got Sam Neill in it, in the first episode, and he's killed.

Reegs: Yeah, in the crop

Sidey: yeah, in the crop circle, and it's never ever addressed, ever. Like, you think, oh, is he gonna come back? Like, he's been possessed, or? Like, cause he's the star, he's the only kind of star, recognisable star in it.

And

Dan: they just Game of Thrones

Sidey: just they

go look We've

got a we've got a series with this guy in it and you're watching Like where the fuck is

Dan: We're not paying

Sidey: But actually the series. really good.

Dan: Yeah, yeah. Okay. Alright.

Sidey: Chris chris, you got

Cris: I don't really have any, no. The only circle I could think of, because I didn't do any research and it's also quite tricky. The only one I could think of, it's not a circle, it's a moon.

So there's no hole in it. It's like a, it's in a round shape, but it's in

ET.

Sidey: Yeah,

Cris: when you see the alien kind of cycling to the sky or whatever. And that's the

Dan: That's

Cris: I, I didn't really have any ideas because normally I would just think of from my head.

I don't, and

Sidey: best way to do it.

Reegs: the best way

Dan: it.

Reegs: Yeah. Don't use someone else's.

Dan: thinking, it's been a strong tactic of mine. I remember being really scared about this film, The Ring. Japanese film the

Sidey: I didn't even think of this

Dan: And

Reegs: Did you not?

Dan: Is really scary, The Ring. Yeah. Yeah, it was,

Reegs: Yeah, I

Dan: Oh, really?

Reegs: into

Sidey: of

Dan: Yeah,

I never, I never got into him because this one for me was, you know,

Sidey: it's that calling out of the well and then out

the

Dan: Yeah, I'm not a massive, I'm not a massive horror film fan, as you know, but this was on Channel 4 late at night. I would just I can't believe you're watching

This rendering is fucking terrible. And she's we were both like, you know watching it and I'm trying to act a bit brave, you know This is okay fucking behind like the sofa after it just holding on because it's all in there's no act if you turn the sound down and everything it would be but it's the music the eeriness and just the the jump scares that come out and that long hair that was and this was all around this this ring and was scary, which is circular and it was scary.

Sidey: got?

some other jewelry in, in ring form. Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.

Reegs: Oh, yeah.

Sidey: He has some mystical rings. I forget how many. And they imbue him with skills and power and stuff and he can fight. It was a pretty good Marvel film. I think one of the, Better ones of recent well post

was his name thanos.

Yeah. But anyway, it seems to have died

a

Reegs: think, I went to the cinema to see that, I think.

Sidey: I

think I didn't I think I saw in disney but and also lord of the rings

Dan: Ah, I was gonna, I

Sidey: Lord of literally a

Dan: one?

Sidey: Well the one ring. Yeah can you

remember?

Cris: to rule them all,

Sidey: One ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them There were other rings. Do you can you remember how many with the other rings were given out

Reegs: Seven. Three? Well, three

Sidey: well, three were given to the Elves, seven to the Dwarves, nine for the race of men, and then the one for the Dark Lord. There's twenty

in total.

Dan: But Sauron only

Sidey: Sorin only made

the one ring. It was Elvish Smith who made all the other ones. Did you know that? Well, you do now.

Dan: not. He had a

hand

Sidey: hand

in them, but he

Reegs: members of the Presley

Sidey: Yes. Yeah. yeah, yeah. Okay.

Reegs: yeah. that is, yeah. Well, how about Circle? You ever seen that? The Netflix uh, movie? Yeah, so, happily I have seen this movie, Bic. It's got a fairly interesting premise where basically people wake up in this, like, weakest link style room, basically only to find that they're getting killed off at a rate of one person every two minutes, unless Certain conditions are fulfilled when they realize that they have to like vote for and against each other.

It's, you know, feels very stagy and all that stuff, but the premise is kind of high concept, but doesn't really go anywhere. But it is quite interesting to see them examine a few societal norms and that sort of thing. Probably the moment of it that is the best is when the homophobe tries to like get everybody to rally against the lesbian and everybody unanimously votes him off in the next one, which is quite good.

 We often talk about Christopher Nolan and circles are a recurring motif it throughout his work. Inception has a nested circular structure to it as a, as a movie. Interstellar deals with the orbits and circular fashion of those orbits and the circular nature of time.

And Memento has a kind of circular structure to it as well.

So yeah, he is also interested in circles. Mr.

Nolan.

Sidey: also interested in circular systems at the moment.

I

Dan: they've got something like that ship in the Lawrence what's her name? Jennifer Lawrence, the Jennifer Lawrence one passengers.

They've got a kind of circular ship thing going on there as well. I

Reegs: Also in Elysium, did you ever see that one? The Sharlto Copley, Matt Damon, it's got

Dan: have done.

Reegs: I think the shape is a Taurus that, which is like a doughnut type shape.

And that's what that structure is that they have it. That that's what Elysium is the utopian structure that they go to.

Dan: Pie. Which was yeah, put in by Darren Aronofsky, directed by him. It's got, it follows this mathematician who's obsessed with finding patterns of nature including circles at some point, way, shape or form. I just like to wedge this film in because it is the first.

Darren Aronofsky film that I had ever seen and I didn't know who the hell he was. It was just like a black and white film. It looked pretty low budget. And it's just an absolute stone cold killer.

Sidey: When we first started doing the pod, they used to crop up all the time, didn't

Dan: Yeah, it's been a while since we've mentioned

Reegs: all the time.

Sidey: What about Stone Circle? Yeah. Wicker Man.

Reegs: circle.

Sidey: There's

some sort of I'm gonna say pagan, but it's I don't know what kind of ritual they're there.

It's all I think it's all the women in their undies are sitting around and I guess it must be Stonehenge or something

Reegs: at Stonehenge.

No, I think it was filmed at Stonehenge, wasn't it?

Sidey: Stonehenge. Okay, right, cool, because that was in Wicker Island or whatever it's called.

And yeah, I watched that, I don't know, is it just for Christmas? Fucking brilliant, really, really good.

Reegs: Well, do you remember it features in the opening of another movie that we watched for the pod? In fact, actually I could think of a few to be fair, but.

Sidey: What, Stone Circle?

Reegs: Circle? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Sidey: Go on.

Reegs: Wow, I just thought, actually, as we were talking, this is Spinal Tap,

Sidey: Yes, yeah.

Reegs: But Sharknado 5, do you remember?

It gets smashed up at the

Sidey: up at the beginning of yeah.

yeah. Wow. Yeah, that's good.

Reegs: It

was also, memorably, I think, in Shanghai Nights. King Arthur, you talked about that on the pod. It's where he gets married to Keira Knightley, I think, at the end. Is that right? Yes. Yeah. And Transformers The Last Knight, which I think is the one where Hopkins took the paycheck.

Yeah.

Sidey: Wow. Yeah.

Reegs: I've

Sidey: Yeah. Probably's

Dan: Well, I've got Logan's Run, which is a 1976 dystopian sci fi film. You've seen this one. And, and so there's a

Sidey: terry wogans, right?

Dan: yeah, that's it. There's a, there's a circular kind of theatre where everybody will, you know, Find themselves when they get to 30 years of old age Trying to fight against the the exploding fucking needle at the top of the room or something

But that is all kind of circular and everything.

And this is you know, it's a

Really strange and weird film that I watched his as a youth and it's one of those that's just in your mind, you know, because it was such a powerful Like premise of you get to a certain age. There's too many people in the world We're gonna have to kill you but up until that age you live like a fucking king, whatever you want, you know, whatever Yeah, what you know sex drugs food drink.

You've got it all you've not wanting for anything, but when it gets to your time You We need to make room. So we we kind of get rid of you and everybody's too fucked up really to argue about it until it gets to them being shunted towards the the death I might do it for the pod one time just as a as a reminder

Sidey: Yeah. Circular plots, I think you talked about Nolan.

He likes to have things going back and forth. We, we watched Arrival. Yeah. That, I think, is similar in the sense that she sees time, we,

we see time linearly. Yes,

And the aliens see it in

Once And

then because they had the flashbacks to her daughter and then it all comes back

Reegs: Yes. Well, because she, she becomes aware of that stuff, doesn't she? And so she's able to piece together the memories

Sidey: And then

Reegs: Yeah.

Sidey: was a good film but his sequel was Kingsman the Golden

Circle. Yeah. Which is not a good

Dan: Yeah.

Cris: film. No, the second one was

Sidey: terrible. Awful.

Reegs: Channing Tatum. I've written Queef Bridges here, but I think, I mean, Jeff Bridges, Channing Tatum. Yeah.

Sidey: It was really bad. Tron, the disc things

on their

Reegs: yeah.

Sidey: Were, circular

Reegs: and, the light, the wheels of the light cycle are pretty circularly.

Dan: I, I was gonna say

Cris: I was going to say the tire in Ong Bak, there's a scene, the first, the original Ong Bak,

Reegs: where he jumps through it

Cris: through it like head and feet first together,

Dan: that's a move, yeah.

Cris: a great movie. And it's also, I thought about that, but I wasn't sure

Reegs: it's a barbed wire one as well Yeah

Cris: I dunno if that's acceptable, but

Sidey: yes very

much. So you

Dan: imagine jumping through there and then just kind of opening up in a long time, like wedged, forever. That would have happened to me.

Are these loads? I mean, there's, there's Space Odyssey if we wanted to, to talk about that because the 2001 well, it, the spacecraft, the space stations they're all circular in contrast

Reegs: Well, yeah. It's got a tuby

Dan: yeah, exactly. If we want circles,

Reegs: I've got, what about the nine circles of hell?

Sidey: Yeah,

that sounds nice.

Reegs: You know, Dante's Inferno, that was the nine circles of hell and loads of movies have been made that sort of explore that. Jacob's Ladder is kind of about a man

Sidey: Seven?

I talk about

Reegs: Yeah, why not? As Above So Below was a found footage movie set in Paris that I saw that was about that sort of thing.

Hellraiser as well. The original Clive Barker stuff, and I think there was even a Dan Brown Inferno book that may have been adapted into your mate. You know, see's

Cris: He's he's great.

It's a great movie. I loved

Dan: Rollerball, which we didn't watch the other night.

Reegs: That's more ball than

Sidey: James Kahn.

Dan: Yeah. I would, I, I dunno why it's, it's been up there on my algorithms

Sidey: you ever use to play speedball?

Dan: Well,

yeah, yeah, yeah. I did. And, and yeah, this, so, there's that, I mean, dodge ball, there's loads of round

Sidey: We're going to ball

territory here. Yeah.

Dan: Is, is this going too far?

Sidey: is. My last one

Dan: they are circular though.

Sidey: the little circular thing that appears in the corner of the picture. Yeah. in

Dan: Ah, and just, and just kind of flashes it.

Changes of the,

Sidey: It was the for the projectionists to change the the real yeah

Dan: Okay. Oh,

Reegs: I was thinking about, remember when this, you can't see this at home, listener, but I'm doing this

Dan: we're circle jerking.

Reegs: we, that, it's, it's the act of sort of making a circle with your thumb and index finger.

It used to mean okay, then it became a sort of weapon that if you placed below your waist, you could then punch somebody who

Sidey: I think that came from malcolm in the middle

Reegs: Is that what it came from? I was gonna say, what's it? And then it became, and then it became, you're a white supremacist if you do it. Yeah.

Sidey: Yeah, I've been doing it for ages.

Reegs: no, now

Dan: it for

Reegs: You're a white

Dan: that OK sign or depending on which

Reegs: No man,

that

Dan: different countries culturally that will mean different things that can mean you're an

Reegs: I am afraid though, at home, if you heard me do that earlier, you did in fact see it. So you owe yourself a dead arm. I'm afraid because it was below knee height as

Dan: Okay,

well, should we whittle these down? Should we, should we start circling the square? Chris, do you want to? On back. On back, solid choice, really good. I will put in pi.

Sidey: Wicker man for me.

Reegs: Yeah. I'll put in circle because

Cris: because

why not?

Sidey: there

Dan: And, and let's see what those, the, the great unwashed have to say out there.

Have they washed? Okay, the, the washed.

Reegs: thought like, they could have got like movies called like Radius

Dan: called like Radius. There's so many, there's so many

Reegs: Yeah. I just, I haven't, I've

Dan: we've missed off here. But that's why we have these listeners.

Sidey: But it was a toss up between this and something else that I can't remember for our movie choice and I went with this one which is Ingrid Goes West.

Cris: have you seen this before? No, No,

Sidey: first time. I wouldn't say it's like a mega fan of Aubrey Plaza but I do enjoy

Reegs: I knew

Sidey: And so I knew that she was in this and

Cris: Which one is it? Is she Ingrid?

Sidey: ingrid. Yeah, and I do remember the Publicity around the time for this movie was quite funny, but I didn't understand why until watching the film and understanding it so let's get into it

Cris: Yeah.

Sidey: Is this everyone's first time?

Cris: Yes,

Reegs: had my eye on this for a while as well. Bit of a, I quite like Aubrey Plaza too.

So yeah.

Sidey: some instagram Posts, doesn't it?

Yeah. Right in your face. Close ups of a wedding and someone reading out the captions.

Reegs: And describing the emojis

Sidey: Prayer Hand emojis. Yeah.

And reading out the hashtags and all that sort of stuff.

Cris: Hashtag blessed.

Reegs: I think it's Ingrid. We can see her, just her eyes as she's flicking through.

And then we realized that she's in a sat in a car

Sidey: Yes. Upset,

Reegs: wearing the same dress as the bridesmaids in the photos that she's been looking at is what I noticed is when she gets out and looking very

Cris: wearing a hoodie or something

Reegs: over the bridesmaids.

Cris: Oh, is it? Okay. Right. Sorry, I didn't see that.

Dan: Yeah, and she, she heads into what is a wedding reception and She goes straight over to the bride, c

Reegs: Charlotte,

Dan: and has a bottle of,

Cris: Pepper spray or

Dan: bottle. I didn't know what it was. Thanks for

Reegs: And then

Sidey: fucking cunt. you

Reegs: fucking cunt. And then pepper sprays her in the face on her wedding day. It's quite the open. I laughed pretty hard for that.

Cris: though, this is not, you're not, you're both like all three of you. Sorry, British born and you speak with a British accent. I find it so strange when someone that is not British or Australian that says the word cunt.

It just sounds so. I don't know, out of place. If they're American, it doesn't, it doesn't have the same ring to

Reegs: it. It doesn't quite, but at least they had a bash.

Cris: Yeah.

Dan: Yeah, we've had a

Sidey: and to come from a lady, did have a bit of shock

Reegs: about it.

Sidey: And yeah she's What's the, what's the fallout of her pepper spraying her?

Yeah, yeah, I was trying to remember. She's

Reegs: mentalness

Cris: institution of some sorts,

Reegs: She's taken, she needs, she needs a bit of help.

Dan: she's taken, she's taken

Sidey: bit of help.

She needs, she needs some help. She

Reegs: She's, upset. She, she, well, she writes letters to Charlotte and like, you know, trying to sort of smooth things over and pretending that they're still friends. Yeah. And it's not until she goes to the supermarket and there's another character who says something about, Oh,

Cris: was in a

Reegs: was a stalker and all this stuff.

So

Dan: Yeah. We started to get a little bit of backstory and we realize actually far from not being invited.

Cris: No, it's like, why was she invited? She just commented on her Instagram. So it wasn't like there were mates or

Sidey: She's a fantasist and she's completely divorced from reality and, and sees the world through the prism of her phone specifically or Instagram.

Dan: Yeah,

So

Cris: because when she goes home, we, we see the It's like a, like a image from the top with a hospital bed in the house and we find out that her mom passed away.

So that's also kind of a, a layer of the story,

Sidey: I think it's just, she says that to Charlotte in one of her letters or she's reading them out, isn't she?

And she says, you were the only person that reached out to me when My mom passed away and she probably just said I hope you're okay. I've seen something completely innocuous

Reegs: Well, everything is really, I think, Ingrid's trauma over, you know, the, filling the void in her life where her mother was, right? That's what

Dan: is. Yeah, and every like or comment is, gives her great joy and

on the opposite of that anything that she doesn't get any likes if she makes any comments or then she just sinks a little bit further into this kind of depression or or you know Just feeling bad about anxiety and feeling bad about herself, but she needs to make a new start.

So she goes west

Reegs: Well, well,

Sidey: she, reads the

Reegs: lives her life through, through. Her online thing, right? And it's

Cris: She just likes

Dan: Instagram

Reegs: they have these really curated lives that are really artsy and aspirational living and all this stuff. And she's just sat in a grimy flat.

No money. Yeah, and she

Cris: until she

Reegs: she stumbles on. Well, she stumbles on Elizabeth Olsen's. Posts, doesn't she? And she starts, she, she waits for ages, like trying to come up with the perfect comment or

Sidey: She sees it first in a magazine and the and the quote that is highlighted in the article is I like to make friends

Cris: new

Sidey: around the world or something.

like that and she's like oh and you can see the light bulb moment in his like forget about Charlotte.

Now here's

Reegs: it's somebody else.

Sidey: next friend. Yeah. She's read the word friend and it's a person and so yeah, like you said, then she goes on to Instagram and she's going through her posts and she's like one of these people who's taking a photo of her food And she comments on it. Yeah, and elizabeth arlton comments back.

Reegs: back. Yeah,

And that's what

Cris: Big mistake.

Reegs: Yeah.

Dan: because she's got this new account and

Cris: Well, no, she gets the money first. I

Reegs: Yeah, she's been left 60 We see a check thing come out.

Dan: like social media account, I meant she's, she started this new, isn't she? Because

Sidey: yeah, this is the title of the movie. Yeah.

Dan: it new, and then she's getting more and more people following her. And she's liking their posts and building up this, but really it's all designed to get her closer and closer to this person who doesn't even know she exists yet.

She's

Sidey: she is. She is a stalker.

There's no doubt about it. She goes she finds because of her Instagram account and because people document their lives, she is able to find out where she eats you know where pretty much where she

Reegs: It's very much like the hidden this bit where she was always one step behind like the place that she eats and all that stuff. Eventually she does stumble across her in a, oh, she gets her hair done like her. Cause she sees she gets all dressed up. Meanwhile, also we've, she's moved into O'Shea Jackson Junior's,

Cris: Pinto dan pinto or something like

Reegs: A batman obsessed spec screenwriter who likes to vape a lot of weed and rents his garage out Yeah, so anyway, she does track down.

Taylor to this I don't know. I don't even know what this fucking shop is. It's got like, cute stuff.

Cris: like an arty. Yeah, I don't

Reegs: It's a good bit of physical comedy as she tries to approach her for the first time. Like as she's browsing the book.

Sidey: She's clumsy at

Reegs: Yeah, and then like goes to talk and then doesn't. And then tries to leave but accidentally steals the shoplifts.

Yeah. It's quite a good bit.

Sidey: Yeah she's really dorky and obviously very nervous about Finally being face to face with this person that she wants to strike up a friendship with

Reegs: But she does eventually follow her home, which is where she sees they've got a dog called Rothko And that gives her the idea to break it perfectly normal Of course to break into her apartment and steal the dog and then ransom it back and not ransom it back But bring it back later looking like a hero

Dan: but bring it back later.

It's amazing when she actually meets them as

Reegs: It's amazing when she actually meets them as well, especially when she meets the husband, Ezra which is Wyatt Russell. And he's like this artist who's never sold anything. Who's worried about selling out.

I'm so

Sidey: sorry about that. It's like a picture

of horses He's

Dan: Well that's it, he's just got random stuff from charity shops. Like old masters prints and things. And then just written like, team gains on it or something.

Reegs: But their house is a per right. I don't really do Instagram, but I understand because their house is a perfect Instagram thing down to the rose gold cups and all of the, the designer faucets and the whatever, the, whatever the whatever. They've got it all.

And it, it's supposed to be all very

Dan: Well, for Ingrid, it's just like, she can't believe it. Can she? She's literally found the most perfect because they start this after the dog has been found. They invite her in for dinner. Ingrid doesn't blow it. She's kind of keeps her shit together and they don't think she's, she's perfect. Completely fucking weird and fake at this point.

And they invite her to a few different things and they're like, oh, you're my best friend ever. And it is just like, okay, okay.

Sidey: Yeah, they have a boozy dinner, don't they? And she's she hangs around there and then they take a trip. She says, oh, you've never been to Joshua Tree. So, they go out there. There's a big party going on.

They they

so,

Dan,

who she's staying with she makes a deal with him to borrow his van. And he really needs

Reegs: needs it. He

Sidey: weird Batman obsession. And so she promises that she'll be back, but she goes out and she's having such a great time. He's ringing her constantly, you know, texting, where are you fucking need you back?

And to the point where he starts to fucking, he's obviously really worried, but she's just out doing loads of drugs and dancing around and having like the time of her life in this fantasy that she's created.

Reegs: Around and

having a good time in life and it's a fantasy

Sidey: Because at first hang on, I can't remember her name.

Taylor

is just seems to be although she's very Instagram and I guess American. She's she's just she's just starts off being a good friend to her just being friendly and nice and welcoming to her. When she gets

Reegs: up to her a bit and

Sidey: she gets the guys to get on the floor, I'm like, you're awful.

Reegs: Yeah Yeah, exactly

Sidey: And she's got this plan that she would like to Buy the place next door to her house and turn it into another one of these weird shops that you don't know quite what

Dan: a house. Yeah a house where everything is for sale and yeah,

Reegs: yeah And it's named Desert Door which is a passage from her favourite book.

Later we'll find out that's complete bullshit. She's

Dan: She's,

Reegs: It's her husband's favourite book.

Dan: Yeah. And yeah, so it, it is just a fake life and, and they're all kind of applauding each other and patting each other on the back for being even more fake than the other one previously was, but they would never admit it to each other because it's just a perpetual cycle of just.

Social media bullshit really And that's where they are. They will never be any true happiness found

Reegs: Well, I think they would have been happy had Nicky not shown up,

Sidey: Well, there's been a few other things though. Anytime, any, anytime that Taylor's going to go out and do something with anyone else. Ingrid has alarm bells like, oh, no, no, you're my friend.

Like, that's it. And in, there's a famous, well, an Instagram famous designer who's going to have a party. And that throws the cat amongst the pigeons.

got 2 million followers and so she's like, no, no, no, oh, oh, we can go but then, yeah Taylor's Idiot Brother. turns up. Yeah. Unannounced which really rattles Ingrid because he's now the wild card.

Dan: Well he's

Sidey: he's

Dan: the attention.

Sidey: he's supposed to be sober but he's clearly off his tits all the time. Yeah. He's just so manic and he tells this story about how he's come

Cris: Someone bought

Sidey: Someone bought him a free first class ticket and it's all complete

Reegs: Well, he also is living a completely vacuous influencer lifestyle. You know, the same as everybody else in this. He instantly takes a dislike to Ingrid. He calls her Olga, I think from the very first, second he meter right the way through the end of the film.

Yeah. And

Dan: thought at one point they were gonna go get together and thought, Oh, they're going to find these two freaks together. But no, they're, they're like polar opposites. And Nikki actually. At one point, he, he catches sight of Ingrid's phone password and later on that evening when her phone goes missing, it, it starts to become the beginning of the end for her as far as Her, her secret stalking life is is totally exposed and he's going what the fuck and she actually puts in a couple of decent reasonable excuses.

I felt like look, I have, I've moved here. I didn't know many people. Your sister was the only one,

Sidey: she has had people open up to her. Taylor's told her a few things and then Ezra's told her that there's a lot of bullshit in their relationship and he's not particularly happy with it all. And then so she has kind of found a place and she's also Convinced Ice Cube's son to like, start dating.

Yeah. I thought you were going to see her boobs because they have sex, but you

Dan: she does a brilliant

Sidey: Yeah. A cat

woman. Yeah, she starts like scratching him, doesn't she? And so he's been sort of dragged to a few do's. And so it's going pretty well, but then when the phone is stolen, think it's Taylor's date of birth is the password?

Yeah.

Reegs: That's weird, isn't it?

Sidey: And he's been through her phone and seen that she's fucking been in there gaff, photographed

Reegs: everything. Photo'd her while she's asleep.

Sidey: Yeah, it's fucking twisted. And he says to her it's going to be five grand A month?

for

me to keep quiet about this.

Reegs: Yeah.

Sidey: She's like, fuck. But I, she just agrees to it.

Yeah. Yeah.

Dan: Well she says 5,000.

Reegs: in tiny pants, by the

Sidey: way, Yeah. Real short

Reegs: Real short shorts and he's built as well. So, that was a treat for everyone.

So anyway this is when afterwards, after this encounter, she goes outside and pays a bunch of kids to punch her in the face. 200 to punch her in the face so that she can then manufacture a story where Nikki has attacked her to Dan.

Dan: Yeah, who is previously getting on who at the one time he'd met Nick he'd actually got on quite well And they were saying yeah, yeah, and he's can't believe he goes fucking hell So then it becomes this crazy scene where she's convinced Dan to get in in the in the truck But he's not Bundle Nicky with like a gun into the back, drive into the desert, scare the shit out of him, never to and Aubrey Audrey again Ingrid,

Olga.

And then he's, Nicky's sussed it out before they've even gotten to the desert. He goes, well, who would want me, right, bloody, oh, Olga, is this you? Yeah. And he

says,

Sidey: And he says, you know, this fucking hood is see through.

So they're just completely useless.

Dan: They bungled it and he manages to escape when they get into the desert and leaving Dan on a pile of, in a pile of, Mess on the floor.

Sidey: he really actually does a number on him, doesn't he?

Reegs: Yeah. Well, 'cause he has, he's pointing a gun at him, but it turns out it's a paintball gun, which Nikki realizes and then beats the shit outta Dan and then she Ingrid ts him in the back with a

Sidey: And

Dan: he does actually shoot him with it, doesn't he?

So, I mean, if there had a, been a bullet in there, then he, he meant this. So, Nick is, is obviously a screw loose himself which we knew. But. Yeah, the, the house of cards that Olga's been living in is coming down now.

Sidey: now.

Reegs: Yeah.

Sidey: Well they, they just kind of very quickly cuts then to, I think she phones or gets a phone call and it's Ezra.

Reegs: She tries reaching out to them and is just cut off, completely cut off, which is the worst thing you can see for her. It's like worse than anything is just not being answered to. And then eventually after she's phoned and phoned and left messages and filled up literally to the point, she filled up like 10 gigs worth of messages or whatever.

Sidey: Now that's after he's already, because he tells her first.

Reegs: Oh yeah.

Sidey: Ted doesn't want to speak to you.

Nikki fucking told us everything. You're a psycho. Do not fucking contact us again. She phones immediately back and says I've just had like the craziest call with Ezra and and then it's like the swinger scene where

Dan: Oh, you just get this month.

Sidey: phoning and and then one message she's crying next one's hey all that stuff I said I was just joking and you're

Dan: Oh, it's cringy. It's absolutely

Sidey: and then yeah then it says yeah the message box is full like fucking hell how many messages did it take to fill up that

Reegs: So sort of in one last, like desperate plea for Taylor's attention, she buys the dream house, right?

Dan: She buys the dream house. uses binoculars, which she does do then you get a good view into their life.

And then one evening she's well, she's out of power on her phone because she's not been able to pay

Reegs: She's got nothing. She's wiping her ass with the pages of the book that the Instagram couple have been said. They've been

Dan: the money's gone. And so is the electric. It's the worst thing. Once, once that happens, she's down to zero power on the phone. It's like, so she goes to, it's a good idea actually.

It's a Halloween party and she goes as a ghost to go and

Sidey: play with the

Dan: Over to, to Taylor's house. But then the, the sheet gets pulled off.

Sidey: she fuse the power by plugging

Dan: Yeah. She, she

Sidey: all the music goes off.

Dan: then she steps away and fucks it up in, in sort of typical Ingrid style. And. Everybody's just looking at her and she does this really kind of weird thing where she puts the sheet back on herself and goes, Ooh, everyone's just got no sense of humor about whatsoever.

And she says, Look, just give me five minutes. Give me five minutes. So Taylor goes, Okay, right. I'll give you five minutes and they come off to the side and you just realize she thinks she's going to convince her. She thinks she's going to trick her and she's like, No, you're fucking way off base. You need to do one.

Reegs: base. You need to leave.

Yeah, no, she does a few home trips of herself,

Dan: yeah. No, she has a few home truths of herself, but then she goes back to her house and for the first time you see the real her because she makes a video and she just comes clean and says.

I've been fucking awful. I've none of this is real. Everything's a fake.

Reegs: I lived that life. It was

Dan: I lived this life. I don't know

Sidey: don't know what's going on now. What's she going to

Dan: What's she gonna do? She's got a load of candles around her and everything and then yeah, she she overdoses live streams it

We, we

just see a kind of close her eyes or she's gone.

She

Sidey: like Fade to

Dan: and fade to black and then it kind of comes up and she's in hospital. Dan has seen her Instagram post doing this and managed to get an ambulance and a policeman around

Sidey: in

on a mobility scooter, yeah, he seems to be permanently

Dan: Paralyzed or at least

Sidey: the beating he took from nicky

Dan: beating but he's in good form and Smiling and just really really pleased that she's not dead

and

Sidey: video

went

Dan: first thing she says though, which is just Have you got my phone?

Where's my phone? It's like she opens her eyes and she's like, where's my phone? The nurse is going, oh, we didn't think we'd see you again. And she's like, and then you start to see like bloons and flowers into a room and everything. And you get the sense. Yeah. This video's gone viral and thousands of people.

Sidey: you know you had she's looking through and she's got all these comments He goes you've even had a hashtag. I am ingrid and she smiles.

Dan: like absolutely, you know,

Reegs: suicide is

Dan: so very much the, yeah, that, that's the that's the message we got, wasn't it? Yeah. That, you know, just out act outrageous on online and eventually somebody will notice you maybe

Sidey: entirely

sure what the message was

Dan: No, this was so that was it. That was the end of the film. And it was just a, dark kind of look at social media or the very worst of it.

How it can

Sidey: But everyone was awful in this.

Dan: Yeah. Yeah.

Cris: the only good thing about this movie was O'Shea Jackson Jr.

Dan: Yeah,

he was

Sidey: Yeah, he was like

Cris: He was quite funny. He had a few good lines and stuff. He was a good person. Everything else was just shocking.

Sidey: Yeah. He

Dan: he he brought it real. He, he, he did make, he goes, what the fuck are you doing? Like this, that, and the other, you know, he, he, he did bring a little bit of realism into it every now and again, what the, when she didn't bring the van back, he was like, Really pissed off and what the fuck

Cris: he was worried. It's like,

Dan: was worried because he said I was calling the cops not because of the van but because I thought of you like, you know You might be in trouble and now you just a big scrape down the sides.

Oh, you can buff that out She's really kind of not bothered about any of the the shit. She's putting through

But yeah, it was it was a hard to like film for me, though It might have been different Passes a comedy and reed said a couple of times. There's a few laughs and things for me It was a bit more depressing than that.

I didn't really laugh that much that there was a couple of

Sidey: found myself just like waiting for the bit where she fucked it up and they found out that she was You know phony and a stalker.

I was like, oh, where's it gonna be? I obviously it was trying to comment about social media and people who live their lives through it But really I just found everyone in it was awful. And then at the end it's like, well, yeah, social media is

Reegs: Social media is not very good, you know, and people lie a bit on it yeah.

Dan: Yeah, trying to, you know, this perfect life. And and you realise

And you go back a bit because when was this film come out? So, you know, I think there again, you know, the last seven years, how much things have really pumped on. I mean, everybody's on social media probably was then to be honest in 2017, but it's not slowed down any of this.

And you still get all this kind of fake shit. And really people going around liking posts and just looking for that attention and that validation through others is is kind of what this film is about and how you're not going to find happiness.

Sidey: Did you dig it, Riggs?

Reegs: It was okay.

There were a few laughs. I, how far I am not right. That whole Instagram thing. I think if you are, if you are into Instagram, there's probably, maybe a few more jokes in this for you. In general, it felt to me like it was already quite dated. The, the stuff that it was like spearing, this whole, like since then, I think a lot has changed, like after.

Well, after COVID and stuff, everybody, nobody gave a shit about Instagram lives. Everybody was just in tracksuits and jeans

Sidey: yeah

that's true

Reegs: So

Sidey: I don't know what it cost to make, but I do know how much it took at the box office.

Do you want to know?

Dan: Yeah

Cris: I hope it was zero.

Sidey: It wasn't much more than zero. It was three million.

Right.

Do you want to know where that puts it in the rank of all time domestic box office? Please.

Cris: On the bottom of Dante's Rings of Hell

Sidey: a guess.

Dan: would say we're going percentage

Sidey: No, rank as in

It's 7,

Dan: Oh, I was gonna say around about

Sidey: I'm gonna make that a regular thing.

Reegs: Nice. Right,

Dan: okay, yeah, we'll get it right one day.

Sidey: you all like this Bill Murray was listed as a very special thank you in the credits.

Dan: credits. Oh, right, okay,

Sidey: Because

he had lent Aubrey Plaza a jumper when she wasn't very well in the filming of

A Glimpse Inside the Mind III, and she wore it in the

film. And the

film that, the film, the song that they listened to, where they have their moment all My Life by Casey and Jojo.

Yeah. Was going to be Kiss from Rose by Seal. 'cause it's a Batman soundtrack, but they couldn't afford it. Yeah.

Dan: it.

Sidey: But the soundtrack was good. I

Cris: It wouldn't have made it

Sidey: the soundtrack was better than

the film actually

Dan: the film actually probably.

Sidey: Next week will be our 400th

Dan: episode. Right, wow, okay, yeah.

Reegs: That's a lot, isn't it?

Sidey: It's massive.

Dan: So that was a strong recommend.

Sidey: Shall

we talk about something else that's huge?

Dan: huge. Is it Haribo and cheese offerings that we've got this week, or? A lot

Sidey: got a lot of Haribo. We've got some Sour Patch Kids. We did have some Peanuts Pie. I ate them all.

Cris: In

one go? Yeah.

Dan: Yeah.

Sidey: So good, good snack selection.

Dan: half decent tonight,

Sidey: But I went for an episode of Mr. Men, which is the very good segway.

Reegs: I might have sworn we'd done this before, but we haven't.

Sidey: No, and we went for Mr. Nosy,

Just for the lols,

Dan: it just, just for the lulls? No particular reason.

Reegs: Well I thought, I said in the group tonight, I thought we should, you know, essentially we should pick on somebody's characteristic here.

Mr. Old.

Sidey: Is there a Mr. Old?

Reegs: I've actually got a picture somewhere, wait, of all of the

Dan: I would imagine that, it was just like an old Mr. Man

Reegs: got some

screenshots.

Sidey: is just picking on things. Weirdly, because I've

got a big nose, but I never got any, like, abuse about this

character

Reegs: Noy

Sidey: from the thing at school.

Never ever. I don't remember anyone to think that's such an easy joke to someone to have made but never it never

Dan: Never. No.

Reegs: if you're not familiar with the Mr. Men, it's, this is imagines a world where a race of colorful beings who are defined by a single exaggerated,

Sidey: But, but, live amongst regular

Reegs: but live amongst

Sidey: Because in this one, it starts off with him getting his nose caught in the O of the Mr.

Reegs: It's

Sidey: like, perplexes him. He can't seem to get

Reegs: tune as well, because that's why this is going

Dan: way too short. He couldn't get to the end of his nose.

Sidey: Well, he needed Mr. Tickle because he's got really long

arms and he could have helped him out.

Reegs: That's where it all

Dan: the better for

Sidey: Mr.

Reegs: Mr. Tickle. That's how it started.

Sidey: Okay.

Dan: Mr. Tickle, Mr. Strong yeah. His

Reegs: his son asked him, what does a tickle look like, and Mr.

Tickle was born.

Dan: Ah.

Sidey: so in this one we get some pictures.

Backstory about Mr. Nosey, and it effectively is that he's just a cunt. He just goes around

Reegs: He likes to know everyone else's

Dan: if there's a door closed, then Mr. Nosy

Sidey: Peer through the window.

Dan: through the window

Reegs: does say he will open other people's mail, which I think

Sidey: It's illegal. It's fraud.

Reegs: I

Cris: I used to do that as a kid.

Dan: Yeah, well,

Reegs: go to jail

Dan: Mr. Newsy.

Cris: can't wait. I was only like 10 or

Dan: yeah, but they can, it doesn't matter. Those kind of postal things are quite serious. They can get you years afterwards. Yeah, yeah,

Cris: I don't think they're gonna come off to me, but,

Sidey: So

Reegs: His nosiness makes him unpopular.

Sidey: Everyone in town hates him.

Dan: to say the least what I will say is these, if you've got the book, you've seen the cartoon because it is the same things. They just animate it, the,

Sidey: There's three people in town that come up with a plan. Mr. Brush, Mrs. Brush. He

kicks

Reegs: carpenter, Mrs. Washer, the laundry woman, and Mr. Buttplug, the painter.

Sidey: the laundry woman, and Mr. Buttplug, the painter.

No,

Dan: don't let you know until it happens.

Sidey: let people know what happens. Into

Cris: a door

Sidey: a door

Cris: it's a

Sidey: Gets

Dan: Well, Mr. Mr. Brush has been painting and he'd been making some noise, something to entice Mr. Nosey over some whistling. That's right. And Mr. Nosey can't resist that kind of temptation. So he put his nose right through the hole to so he could smell what kind of whistling it was going on, I guess.

And he comes out with a red nose.

very

Sidey: one is, what is it? Mrs. Mrs. Washer. is making some.

Reegs: She's doing some laundry in the back garden.

Sidey: So he sticks his nose over the fence, I think of this one, and she puts the washing up peg on the end of his beak causing it to throb.

Dan: Yeah. He had to bandage it

Sidey: At this point, my daughter walked into the room and said, what on earth are you

watching?

are

Dan: Yeah.

Sidey: you know, like a very

good, you know, computer animation that looks slick. This is. about as primitive

Dan: it looks like you've Painted it yourself onto the television

Reegs: Did she thought it was an old family movie

Sidey: I hear

some hamming.

Reegs: Hears some hammering, Mr.

Cris: Yeah. Mr. Chip.

Reegs: Yeah, he gets, he gets a fucking hammer to the nose. So

Sidey: the, the plan is to just violently assault him.

Reegs: It's like Pavlov's dogs, but

Sidey: exactly what I thought.

with hammers and

Reegs: fucking

Dan: yeah, they're, they're,

Sidey: Clockwork Orange, you know. Mr.

Moses

Dan: been opening mail. He's been, you know, perving at people through the, the letterbox and through the,

Cris: keyhole.

Sidey: But rather than just talk to him and say,

Dan: No, they're

Sidey: Could you not just keep yourself to yourself?

They violently assault

Dan: Doesn't get the message

Sidey: on three occasions. And now he goes into the woods, presumably to kill himself.

And

Reegs: presumably to kill himself.

Yeah, Mr. Saw, or whatever the fuck, is chopping,

Sidey: Yeah, Mr. Saw, or whatever the fuck, is chopping sawing into a piece

Sidey: like ghostly sort of freak show and they were going around living out all their worst,

Dan: I think it's a working theory to be honest. Yeah.

Reegs: I like some of the newer Mr. Men Mr. Online Misogynist.

Sidey: Babes. Remember him?

Reegs: Do you know, Mr. Small was one of my favourites. Remember him? He couldn't get a job at the phone company because he was, like, too quiet, because he was too small. His dinner was half a pea.
