Will You Survive "As Above So Below " pt 2

Deep sea “monsters,” pirate legends, and outer space physics somehow belong in the same conversation and we prove it. We start with a weirdly mind-blowing fact that messes with your mental image of the anglerfish, then spiral into why the ocean still fuels sea monster folklore. From oarfish “sea serpent” sightings to kraken-style stories, we unpack how real animals, bad visibility, and exhausted sailors can turn a normal event into a lifelong bar story.

Then we leave the water and step into the void. Spontaneous decompression kicks off a debate about the most unsettling part of space: not the monsters, but the nothing. That turns into a full-on argument about conservation of momentum and whether you could move in space by throwing a ball, plus the nasty little detail that a bad throw can send you into an endless spin. If you like practical space science explained in plain language, you’ll feel right at home.

We also go after flat earth talking points, especially the “where are the satellites” claim, and explain why camera specs, distance, and pixels make small objects effectively invisible in big Earth shots. Finally, we bring it back to movies, defending As Above So Below as an iconic found footage horror film, reacting to harsh critic scores, and sharing what we’re picking next, including the survival thriller Greenland.

Anglerfish Size And Ugly Truths

SPEAKER_00 0:27

Which feels like an oversight. Have you actually ever seen the actual size of that fish from Finding Memo, the one that has the light on the front?

SPEAKER_01 0:36

The angler f uh the angler fish. The angler fish big, right?

SPEAKER_00 0:41

Pretty big. No, no, no. They're fucking not. They're little itty bitty fucks. Yeah. I seen a video. Anglerfish?

SPEAKER_01 0:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 0:48

They're like a football.

SPEAKER_01 0:49

Oh no, they must be because they have to they have to be able to survive that pressure.

SPEAKER_03 0:52

They're like a foot tall, right? Like they're not.

SPEAKER_00 0:54

Dude, they're like small. I thought they were ginormous.

SPEAKER_03 0:59

No, I always knew they were they were.

SPEAKER_00 1:01

But they're so fugly looking. They are so the blobfish doesn't look like that normally. It's because it fucking came up to the surface, which made everything expand in it. You know, like the blobfish, like the little blooper. You know? They don't normally look like that. They kind of norm look like normal fish. But they kind of expand.

SPEAKER_01 1:24

So they can get up to two meters long. The angler fish.

SPEAKER_03 1:28

What is that? Six feet?

SPEAKER_01 1:29

Six feet. Oh. Which for a fish is pretty freaking big.

SPEAKER_03 1:34

That's pretty big, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:35

My favorite like not like non-seen like

Pirate Sea Monster Stories Explained

SPEAKER_00 1:40

seen fish. You don't see them though.

SPEAKER_01 1:45

The ore fish?

SPEAKER_00 1:46

Yeah, or fish. It's a long ass fish. And it's they're just fucking perpendicular in the water. Or fish.

SPEAKER_03 1:56

Yeah. There's some crazy monsters in the sea, which is also why like when uh when there's an elastic.

SPEAKER_00 2:07

Anyways, continue there.

SPEAKER_03 2:09

When there's all those uh folklore about pirates and like sea monsters, like I I don't think they were entirely making shit up. I like that.

SPEAKER_00 2:18

They're making up a lot of shit though.

SPEAKER_03 2:19

I don't yeah, like I don't know if like we found out giant squids do exist. I don't think they're capsizing boats because they don't go that high up into the ocean, just tall. They would have to go to surface level. I don't think they would do that, but also it's like I don't know. There could have been some weird freak giant squid who decided to go that high. Like, I don't know if they could survive that or if they could do that.

SPEAKER_00 2:44

You know, then there's like other shit, like the whirlpools, giant whirlpools in the water, sucking boats down. I they just seen like a little ass one, and they're like, dude,

Sirens, Manatees, And Sea Hallucinations

SPEAKER_00 2:53

what if that was biggest shit? Let's say that there was a biggest like I also like, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 2:59

I could so see pirates getting to a tavern and just being like, and then we hit this whirlpool that almost sucked our boat down, and they're like, whoa! There was a whale, it was the size of eight whales. And then we fought off a kraken that tried to swallow our boat. And that's why there's a giant patch missing out of the front. It's not because our captain crashed into the dock.

SPEAKER_01 3:21

Well, but what about the stories of sirens?

SPEAKER_00 3:25

The sirens? Mermaid. Oh that that was isn't it like uh fucking manatees? They were just gay.

SPEAKER_01 3:33

People that was uh that was uh how I met your mother. We gotta find land, dude.

SPEAKER_03 3:40

What was it, mermaid or manatee?

SPEAKER_01 3:42

Yeah. Like you've been out at sea for so long, you start hallucinating, you start seeing things.

SPEAKER_03 3:48

I could see that. I could that that seems very real.

SPEAKER_01 3:51

It's it would be no different than an oasis in a desert.

SPEAKER_03 3:54

Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_01 3:55

You go towards the oasis, you're already in a dire state. You you lose your senses, you go towards the oasis, you go further away from what you need to go to.

SPEAKER_00 4:06

Or management aggressive at all. No, they have no natural predators. Well are they predators?

SPEAKER_03 4:13

Do they are they naturally aggressive?

SPEAKER_00 4:15

They they're they're they're sea cows.

SPEAKER_03 4:18

So they're the cafebar.

SPEAKER_00 4:20

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 4:21

Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_00 4:22

And they're illegal to touch. Do not fucking touch them. They can touch you. Don't want

Spontaneous Decompression And Space Dread

SPEAKER_00 4:27

to don't don't touch them though. Oh no. Would be a shame if you just oh no, I'm accidentally in this manatee's way. You just keep moving in front of it. I I keep stepping in front of it.

SPEAKER_03 4:39

Oh no, oh, it's you know, it's so awkward, like when you're trying to pass somebody.

SPEAKER_01 4:43

Oh, oh, let me uh let me let me get on the side over here.

SPEAKER_03 4:46

Go to the right.

SPEAKER_00 4:47

Oh, oh, oh, anyways, spontaneous depressurization or pep?

SPEAKER_03 4:54

Yeah, spontaneous depressurization. Probably so much faster.

SPEAKER_01 4:59

Um you know the irony? I'll tell you the irony is you up up in outer space, vast openness, you'd still be claustrophobic.

SPEAKER_03 5:08

Oh, yeah. I mean it's all black. That would be I cannot imagine looking up, down, left,

Can You Propel Yourself In Space

SPEAKER_03 5:15

and right, and it's just black.

SPEAKER_00 5:18

And yeah, there is Eric. The front thing is there is no up, down, left, or right.

SPEAKER_03 5:23

You're yeah, but that's what I mean. Like relative to your position, you're looking up, down, left, and right, and it is literally not like the blackest, black, darkest, dark, dark.

SPEAKER_00 5:33

You're not understanding anything, nothing's touching you, you're just floating there.

SPEAKER_03 5:38

You're millions of miles away from touching anything. Okay, let me ask you.

SPEAKER_00 5:42

However, you could eventually get somewhere if you could just get any type of propulsion. You know, if you could just like piss a little bit. Or like if you throw something, but you're in a suit. You know, that'll whatever you throw is the inertia you'll get back, so it'll push you away.

SPEAKER_03 6:01

I don't think that's true. That's it's true. That's been disproven. It's true. I I think no, because that would that would imply that there's air friction. Because if I just throw something in a void, there's nothing to push back against me. I'm not pushing back to the water.

SPEAKER_00 6:21

You're you are pushing off of it.

SPEAKER_03 6:24

You no, yeah. No air friction. If there was air resistance, that would be happening, but there's no air resistance.

SPEAKER_00 6:31

But so how do you think people how do you think they maneuver in space?

SPEAKER_03 6:34

Uh they push themselves, they have they are attached to something.

SPEAKER_00 6:38

No, but so let's say there's a ship in space, it's shooting the gas out, and it's moving. Even though there's not even though there's nothing it's spraying at, you know, like that's wildly different than still something. Yeah, no, you're you are propelling yourself, you're propelling that, and it's pushing you back.

SPEAKER_03 6:56

I am so confident you're wrong in this, actually. I like it. I love space, brother.

SPEAKER_00 7:01

I will bet you look at you $5.

SPEAKER_03 7:03

You will bet me five dollars? I will bet you five dollars. Okay. If I throw a ball in space, would that create enough force to move me from a stationary position?

SPEAKER_01 7:24

AI knows all. Uh-oh. Okay, you're right.

SPEAKER_00 7:29

It looks like bitch, I've I am a fucking space nerd.

SPEAKER_03 7:33

I love space. Your mass times your velocity, which would be zero, plus ball mass times velocity. What equals zero? Since you start at rest, total momentum equals zero, okay? If you so if you weigh 80 kilograms and throw one kilogram ball at 10 meters per second, you drift at 0.125 meters per second, about one foot every two and a half seconds. So you would move. A few nuances. You need something to push against. Your arm muscles pushing the ball works work fine, but you can't just lean in a direction without releasing something. Okay. The throw needs to be along your center of mass, otherwise, you'd also start rotating.

SPEAKER_00 8:17

Yeah, so if you just if you went like this, it would make you start fucking just and you wouldn't be able to stop.

SPEAKER_03 8:23

You'd want to take it from the chest and push out.

SPEAKER_00 8:26

Yeah, and you would not be able to stop if you started rotating. You just because there's nothing to catch yourself on.

SPEAKER_01 8:31

Alright, let me ask you this question. Would you rather go out like Pap? Or would you rather be in outer space in a spacesuit until the end?

SPEAKER_00 8:41

Oh, okay. Can I have my Spotify soundtrack? You know, that's not that's not bad.

SPEAKER_01 8:49

I I can't do that.

SPEAKER_00 8:50

I want to play that one song

Flat Earth Claims Versus Camera Math

SPEAKER_00 8:52

alone at the edge of a universe humming a tune.

SPEAKER_03 8:57

You can have Spotify, but you can't play anything because you're in space.

SPEAKER_00 9:01

Because there's no, I got Spotify Premium.

SPEAKER_03 9:05

I have it downloaded.

SPEAKER_00 9:06

I have the downloads.

SPEAKER_03 9:07

I have premium that allows space connection.

SPEAKER_00 9:09

And it works perfectly.

SPEAKER_03 9:10

I have Sterlink. I have Stirlink.

SPEAKER_00 9:15

Um Dude, did you see the fucking when they went? I don't know why we're just talking about space and shit. Um, did you see the so like they took pictures when they went and they like circled around the moon and shit? Right? They took pictures of Earth. All these fucking flat Earth fucks. Where are all the satellites? Yeah. Jeez.

SPEAKER_03 9:35

Yeah. As if you get your arm right now from that far.

SPEAKER_00 9:38

Where are all the microorganisms on my skin?

SPEAKER_03 9:41

Yeah, where are the cells?

SPEAKER_00 9:43

Yeah, small thing around big thing, you can't see thing. Go look at a picture of a city.

SPEAKER_03 9:48

Where all the I saw a guy, I saw like a mathematician guy who was like, okay, I'm gonna break this shit down. He's like, because this is a stupid question. Basically, he was like, This question, why can't I see a satellite? So he calculates how many pixels across the earth was in the picture. He calculates how much distance is between each pixel, and then he like relative to the angle and the focal length of the camera or of the lens and what lens was used and the camera and everything that was all released by NASA, like all the specs on the camera and the lens and everything. He uses all that data, he uses how many pixels across the earth is and everything to calculate how big the satellite would be, and it was something like the smallest fraction of a pixel. And he was like, You would never see it.

SPEAKER_01 10:41

So I had somebody who was challenging the validity of the pictures because they were taking pictures at 41,000 miles away from the earth, and now get this, but the diameter of the earth is 25,000 miles. And I'm sitting there looking at this comet, and I'm seeing all of these people who are like, oh wow, that's a good point. I was like, No, I don't think it is. The circumference of the earth is 25 under 25,000 miles, the diameter's 7,900. Yeah, so at 37,000 miles, you would have full frame pictures. They're taking pictures at 41,000 miles, and it's a full frame picture, it was awesome though.

SPEAKER_03 11:29

Also, the amount of people who just don't understand zoom or or lenses, or map like the amount of people who are like, oh, this picture from the moon, the earth looks so far away, but this picture, it's so close, and they're supposed to be further than humanity's ever gone. I'm like, oh my god, I forgot. When I use the zoom feature on my phone, I'm it's all a fucking conspiracy. That building that I'm zooming in on isn't actually there, right?

SPEAKER_00 11:57

If you're a legitimate flat earther and you listen to our show, fuck off. You're an idiot. Oh, everything else in the fucking solar system is round except for Earth.

SPEAKER_03 12:11

I just what kills me about it is like somebody broke it down. The amount of people who would have to be in on this is just so unit's just not plausible at all.

SPEAKER_01 12:25

It would be the greatest, most successful conspiracy in the history of the world. And you have competing governments.

SPEAKER_03 12:33

Josh says the diameter of the earth is 7,918 miles. Yeah, you're right.

SPEAKER_01 12:41

Yeah, that's it's just like don't fuck with me about space. I'm I'm probably right up there with TJ.

SPEAKER_03 12:47

I think it was something like 72 space organizations would have to be lying. All of the employees of all of those space organizations would also have to be in on it and actively lying, or those organizations are keeping the truth from their employees.

SPEAKER_01 13:05

And enemy governments.

SPEAKER_03 13:06

And enemy governments, no leaks have ever happened. And on top of that, everybody who is a and like an astrophysicist or something like that is full of shit.

SPEAKER_02 13:20

Yep.

SPEAKER_03 13:20

All I think he said like there's like 200,000 or something like that. Like they're all full of shit. All of them. Okay. That's more plausible to you than and all the math being correct and duplicatable and and picture-proof and as transparent as possible. All of that is all bullshit, but you're right.

SPEAKER_00 13:43

Also TJ. How the fuck does gravity work on a flat planet? Right? So let's say you have a plate.

SPEAKER_03 13:52

They don't believe in gravity, they believe in density, which is the dumbest argument I've ever had.

SPEAKER_00 13:59

Spin that plate.

SPEAKER_03 14:03

Where does the syrup go?

SPEAKER_00 14:04

To the outsides.

SPEAKER_03 14:06

I don't think they believe that we're spinning. Because an argumentally heard from a smart man. An argument that I've legitimately heard from someone I respect who's a smart man, and he said, How come when you jump in an airplane, you're moving 500 miles an hour, how come you don't how come you land in the same spot?

SPEAKER_00 14:26

Because you're moving the same rate as the fucking plane. Because an object in motion stays in motion.

SPEAKER_03 14:32

I'm like, because when I'm in a car surrounded by four walls with no air resistance or anything, or like no incoming air at me, and I throw a ball up in the air, it doesn't slam into my face at 70 miles an hour.

SPEAKER_01 14:45

But if the car stopped the object, then it would hit me at 70 miles an hour.

SPEAKER_03 14:50

Well, I'm not sure.

SPEAKER_00 14:51

Let's say you're in a plane, if you want to see something that's like let's let's say there's something there, let's say there's an immovable object.

The Solar System Is Not Stationary

SPEAKER_00 14:59

Let's say let's say Superman is just floating in the sky like a brick wall. He could be in the pl he could just stop in the plane, and you know what the plane would do? Keep going. Because he's not going the same rate as the plane. Yeah. You want to see what happens if you jump and you just stay in space, you're gonna shoot out the back of the plane. But that's not how things work. You're going the same speed.

SPEAKER_01 15:22

But I have a uh I have an interesting uh visual for you. I don't know if you've seen this, you probably have, but you know the standard model solar systems, yeah. We have the sun in the middle and all the planets rotating it around.

SPEAKER_03 15:36

And we all know it's actually all rotating the earth.

SPEAKER_01 15:39

The the theory that the solar system actually works, the sun is traveling at 100,000 miles a minute, whatever. I love this, and all of the planets are trailing behind it, circling in that's why the Milky Way and Andromeda are colliding. Would make sense. They're moving also.

SPEAKER_03 15:59

They're all moving, but it's just it moves at such a what what do they call it?

SPEAKER_00 16:04

Um I mean it's moving fast such a huge scale.

SPEAKER_03 16:08

Yeah, yeah, it's moving fast, but it's so big. Not celestial, but uh is it not? That's not the right word. Uh that is a word for it, but that's not the word I'm looking for for this, but it's moving at such an unbelievably massive scale that they are moving so fast, but it is so unbelievably huge, and just you cannot explain enough how big it is that as fast as it's moving, it'll still take trillions of years. What would it be? Billions of years to to really show anything.

SPEAKER_00 16:39

Most of the shit's not even gonna touch each other. Yeah, such a huge gap between them.

SPEAKER_03 16:45

There's so much it would be so it's actually so improbable that something would collide.

SPEAKER_00 16:50

The Earth is 13 gravity 166 subtilion pounds. What what's Eric's mom?

SPEAKER_02 16:58

That's crazy.

SPEAKER_03 17:03

Wow. I think the the bigger, like if we're talking billions and billions of years, the the bigger damage would happen if the two black holes at the center of Andromeda and the Milky Way got close.

SPEAKER_00 17:18

Which I don't I mean and also are are we is are we just gonna kind of like merge and merge super super music?

SPEAKER_01 17:27

Yeah, they're they're both uh they're both spiral galaxies. Are we gonna become Andromeda Way?

SPEAKER_00 17:33

Or is it it's gonna it's probably gonna be like move past each other, come back, move past each other. We're kind of like we start orbiting each other?

SPEAKER_03 17:42

What would uh entirely it would be it would be like pendulum swings?

SPEAKER_01 17:46

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 17:46

What are we called? What what is the Milky Way called?

SPEAKER_01 17:49

A spiral galaxy?

SPEAKER_03 17:50

No, a galaxy. What do gala galaxies uh revolve around each other? Would would they get locked into a gravity?

SPEAKER_01 17:58

That's what's happening. They're pulling towards each other as they're they're spinning, they're moving around something, nobody knows what, because we're so fucking tiny and infinitesimal.

SPEAKER_00 18:10

Like we sent a thing out into space, it has not even gone that far.

SPEAKER_01 18:14

Yeah. Uh actually, the cool thing about it is I believe Voyager 2 has just recently uh escaped the sun's influence. Still that was like that was like lower.

SPEAKER_00 18:27

In the grand scheme of things, not that far. That's crazy.

SPEAKER_03 18:30

Not far at all.

SPEAKER_00 18:31

And you know, it gets if it gets far enough, we won't even be able to tell where it is.

SPEAKER_03 18:35

And it's a whole lot of fucking nothing.

SPEAKER_00 18:37

You're gonna have to wait like thousands of years per message from the thing. And it might it might not even work that way because it might get just dim out the signal as it goes. Yep.

SPEAKER_01 18:47

Uh the heliosphere. So Voyager 2 crossed uh called it the heliopause, the boundary of the sun's heliosphere on November 5th, 2018. Has been traveling through interstellar space ever since. When did it get launched? In the 70s. Let me see. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 19:07

40 years later, older than Elder. Finally escaped the light of the sun.

SPEAKER_01 19:12

It is a it is a great uh testament to our ability.

SPEAKER_03 19:16

Absolutely.

SPEAKER_01 19:17

But it's just we're just tiny.

SPEAKER_03 19:19

Yeah, that's just to demonstrate the absolute scale.

As Above So Below Ending Questions

SPEAKER_03 19:22

Is it though?

SPEAKER_00 19:23

You just need a you just need a lot of fucking rock. I I've I could launch some shit in the space and Kerbal Space program and not see it again. You know? You just gotta get it out there and it's gonna keep moving.

SPEAKER_03 19:34

Yeah. Well, the thing is that it has to report back, right? Yeah, like it has to send signal back.

SPEAKER_01 19:39

Yeah, but they're starting to both Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 are starting to um degrade. So their systems are being changed.

SPEAKER_00 19:46

We're actually talking about the movie Project Hail Mary.

SPEAKER_03 19:49

Great movie.

SPEAKER_00 19:52

And not as above so below.

SPEAKER_03 19:54

We are we really should we literally went the abscess part two? Do we want to wrap up as above so below? I honestly think this is just a movie you have to watch. It's just so it really is.

SPEAKER_00 20:05

Um I know we didn't talk about it. We were talking about how their deaths are their sin. Uh Papillon watched people die in a car didn't help. Uh her she missed a call, she ignored a call from her father when he like the day he died. Um, Zed had a kid.

SPEAKER_03 20:21

Uh he did it to himself.

SPEAKER_00 20:23

Um, and then yeah, I know. He was hanging. I've seen it.

SPEAKER_03 20:26

Um well no, I I'm I was you know trying to say it for the audience without getting us flagged on TikTok.

SPEAKER_00 20:32

He uh he he did the old bungee with no spring. You know what I'm saying? Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 20:38

Um tight bungee.

SPEAKER_00 20:42

Yeah, and then one simp dude uh he uh he watched, he he left his brother in a cave and he drowned.

SPEAKER_03 20:47

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. The her friend. Yeah. He well, he said he his brother was drowning, he went to go get help, but he got lost, and then his brother died because he couldn't find his way uh to the um uh to I guess a trusted adult.

SPEAKER_00 21:01

Josh says just like the cat poster in the doctor's office, he was hanging in there. That is correct. Yeah. Um but yeah, no, this is this this this is a movie that you just need to see because the ending is very it's very cool. I I I think this is cool. Um this is one of those movies that does not need a sequel.

SPEAKER_03 21:19

Is there any part of you guys that thinks that they are not on the real earth?

SPEAKER_01 21:23

So as above, so below. I thought when they came out of the sewers upside down, I thought they were um perhaps in another dimension.

SPEAKER_03 21:32

That's kind of what I was getting. Is like I don't know how safe I would actually feel if I was them.

SPEAKER_00 21:37

Yeah, but you know, as above, so below. It's the same thing, just you know, one's above, one's below. So even if it was uh alternate earth is one was also a lot more horrific than the other. True. But imagine no dude, that'd be kind of crazy. She like they they come out and like his brother's alive, her dad's alive. It's like alternate, like that. Be kind of dope, Hikey. Uh my question is, what is she gonna do with her fucking little magic ability she got?

SPEAKER_03 22:06

Well, yeah, I mean, like, does she keep it? Is that like a thing or does that only work there? I feel like it's a thing. Is that like magic through like to get like that you could use through hell, but it doesn't work on earth? Like, I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 22:20

Oh no, it's intended to work.

SPEAKER_03 22:22

Because my thought was like, damn, they really did all that and came out with nothing.

SPEAKER_00 22:26

All this was to get the sorcerer stone, by the way, guys. Uh if you haven't seen the movie.

SPEAKER_03 22:30

Which, and then it turns out that the stone is not a real thing, it's not an actual object, it's a belief or something of the sort.

SPEAKER_00 22:38

Yeah. Nicholas flamel and such, if you know Harry Potter. That's what I was gonna say.

SPEAKER_03 22:43

I was gonna say, I know where the sorcerer stone is. Uh Green Gods.

SPEAKER_00 22:48

Hogwarts. It's in Green Gods.

SPEAKER_03 22:50

We literally all three gave different answers.

SPEAKER_00 22:51

No, it's in Green Gods. Spoilers, dude. It's good. Dude, no spoilers.

SPEAKER_03 22:56

Harry Potter.

SPEAKER_00 22:57

No, Harry Potter hasn't even come out yet, dude. The C the series is coming out next year.

SPEAKER_03 23:01

Dude, not everybody has read the book, man.

SPEAKER_00 23:03

Dude, not everybody's read the book. You gotta wait, wait for the series to come out.

SPEAKER_03 23:06

I think we've talked about this, but it is hilarious that they casted Snape as a black guy, right?

SPEAKER_00 23:10

It yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 23:12

You know what really for the fact that Harry, like in the movie, Harry doesn't trust Snape but doesn't know why. Harry constantly thinks that Snape is up to bad things.

SPEAKER_00 23:23

But was he right though?

SPEAKER_03 23:24

Kinda. He was actually ultimately wrong.

SPEAKER_00 23:26

But Harry in the back of his mind. This nigga's up to something.

SPEAKER_03 23:35

It's the old black professor.

SPEAKER_00 23:38

It's like the cops to do black A1, but then they just had to like why didn't need to. You know what they could have done? They could have done what they what every fucking movie does, and they could have just made the gingers black people.

SPEAKER_03 23:51

Didn't they make her mind?

SPEAKER_00 23:52

But then that would be kind of fucked up because why are the only poor people in this goddamn show black?

SPEAKER_03 23:58

Wasn't Hermione black?

SPEAKER_00 24:00

I thought like they could uh like the book kind of doesn't describe her necessarily as the book says her hair is nappy and shit, you know, like unkempt, but like, you know, she I I think she could be, but like it's I don't think her character, they could have made her black. It's fine.

SPEAKER_03 24:17

Yeah, I genuinely think any other character, they could have made Dumbledore black, and I think I would have been okay with that. It's just the fact that they pick Snape that's so funny. Yeah, not Snape was literally described as like trail, you know, and he's the only black professor, and it's the one that Harry doesn't trust. It's just really funny.

SPEAKER_00 24:39

Yeah, I hope they uh I hope they do what they did in the books. There's like the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, he's one of the fucking uh centaurs from the woods. Oh yeah, yeah. I hope that happens. Um, yeah, anything else to say about this movie? I love this movie. I think the obsession.

SPEAKER_03 24:57

I think this is an iconic movie.

SPEAKER_00 25:00

I think this is an iconic movie.

SPEAKER_03 25:01

Where so, Alex, I'm curious. First, where would you rate the tunnel now?

SPEAKER_01 25:06

Oh yeah, the the the tunnel might go down to dog water. See, we gave it C.

SPEAKER_03 25:12

I don't think it's the worst thing ever.

SPEAKER_00 25:14

So we'd cut the difference and we'd make it like D. Yeah. I think D is for dog water.

SPEAKER_01 25:20

D is for dog water.

SPEAKER_00 25:21

I think D is for dog water. So it'd be like low fucking C, high dog water.

SPEAKER_03 25:26

I don't think it's awful. I think it was a fun movie, but when you've seen As Above So Below, you're like, oh, this is just a bad version of that. Um where would you put As Above So Below? Like honestly, where would you put it? I think I put it in A. A. Okay. What what brings it down from S to you? Or icon. I say iconic because I think it is the best found footage film. I think it's the Vivitch. I think it beats the Blair Witch project. I think it beats all of the found footage that I've seen so far. I think this is the best found footage movie.

SPEAKER_01 25:59

I don't I don't know that I could say that only because I didn't even know anything about it. I never heard about it. Had no hype to go see it.

SPEAKER_03 26:08

That's your lack of knowledge, though.

SPEAKER_01 26:10

Sure, but that isn't that what we talked about before? I mean, that's how you guys have rated movies.

SPEAKER_03 26:16

Well, let's I guess let's check what's box office sales on this movie. What was the I remember the hype being cleared in this movie?

SPEAKER_00 26:23

336 million. I don't know. I'm just guessing.

SPEAKER_01 26:26

It was a budget of five million. Oh, that's not bad. Estimated. It's gross opening weekend was eight million six hundred thousand. So not bad. It made three million. Opening weekend it cleared its budget. That's good.

SPEAKER_03 26:40

Uh a cult encyclopedia says received generally negative reviews from critics, but grossed 41.

SPEAKER_00 26:47

Uh grossed 41 million worldwide.

SPEAKER_03 26:51

Wow.

SPEAKER_00 26:52

And this is like a non-done concept, you know?

SPEAKER_03 26:55

Yeah. Man, people rated this harsh.

SPEAKER_00 27:00

Apparently, I like this movie.

SPEAKER_03 27:01

On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds 27% with an average rating of 4.7. Website critics consensus reads: After an intriguing setup that threatens to claw its way out of found footage overkill, Azabov Sobolo plummets into cliched mediocrity. At Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 39 out of 100 based on 24 critics, indicating generally unfavorable reviews. Audiences polled by cinema score gave the film an average grade of C. Peter Dubridge, a debruges, uh gave the film a mixed review and variety, writing, It all makes for clumsy fun escapism, not bad as end of summer chillers go, but small time compared with other legendary releases. I don't know if I agree.

SPEAKER_00 27:50

You know, some of these people wouldn't know what a good movie is if it fucking made love to their mother. Fuck these people in Minecraft.

SPEAKER_03 28:01

Yeah. I I think that's quite a harsh uh judgment of this movie to be honest.

SPEAKER_00 28:07

Yeah, I don't know why people don't like it.

SPEAKER_03 28:10

I personally think it's an iconic movie, but also maybe it was just the time that I grew up in and really enjoyed this style and really enjoyed this particular movie, but I don't like a lot of found footage movies. Me neither.

SPEAKER_00 28:25

Like, I I think it's like it's Chronicle, and then it's this one. Those are you know, my top found footage movies, I would say. Maybe paranormal activity is up there a little bit, but you know, I d I don't I you know what? Hot take Blair Witch Project? Kinda ass. It's very mid. Nothing fucking happens.

SPEAKER_01 28:54

Motherfucker strolling through the woods. I thought it was great when it first came out. Yeah, but you thought it was real. Oh. I thought it was real.

SPEAKER_03 29:06

Blair Witch was one of those movies where I thought it was gonna be so scary, and then you never see anything the entire time, and I was like, oh, that was kind of a waste.

SPEAKER_01 29:18

The thing that I found fucked up was learning afterwards that they were fucking with the cast on purpose. Like they were creeping them out. They had audio recordings of kids laughing and they were playing it in the middle of the night. So when you hear that on the tape, they actually the actors actually went through that.

SPEAKER_03 29:37

See, that's cool to know. I mean, that's fucked up for them, but Have we done the ritual? No.

SPEAKER_00 29:45

It's also one of my favorite movies. You ever watch the ritual? No? Nope. It's uh like f f fing four British lads in like Norway or some shit. And they uh go through these woods or these tr they go to cut through these woods to uh get help because their friend fucked his leg up. Um but some crazy shit happens. Um I know you've seen what the monster looks like, Eric. Because I sent you a picture of it. A while ago. I don't remember. Remember our random DD campaign we were thinking of? Where like there's the forest and you get like called to it, and there's like a fucking you know, do you remember us talking about that?

SPEAKER_03 30:38

Kind vaguely, yeah. Vaguely, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 30:41

If you go back in our chat, you'll see it.

SPEAKER_01 30:44

Which one? Is it 2017?

SPEAKER_00 30:48

I think so. Um hold on, I'm looking. Uh yes. Um, this man just spoiled, I don't want to watch

Socials, Emails, And Community Bits

SPEAKER_00 31:36

it anymore.

SPEAKER_03 31:41

Alright, well incredible movie. The critics are harsh and wrong. So that's my opinion.

SPEAKER_00 31:52

Those critics don't know shit.

SPEAKER_03 31:55

No, they don't.

SPEAKER_01 34:07

Well, I thank you very much for that. My winner speech will be very short and simple. It is, I think I have a movie for us already. It's a little uh on the ridiculous side, like most of our movies. But uh maybe you guys have heard this little uh Gerard Butler movie called Greenland. I have not. Yeah, you haven't? Let's go.

SPEAKER_00 34:33

Is it a meteor or is it a nuke?

SPEAKER_01 34:35

It's a comet.

SPEAKER_00 34:36

Comet, okay. Yeah, no, I think it's a good idea. Same same difference, only different or two.

SPEAKER_01 34:42

Um, it's interesting, it's fun, there's some uh real life going on. Not as good as uh as outside, but there's plenty of real life going on in this crazy uh apocalyptic scenario where everybody's expected to be unalived by a celestial body. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 35:07

Alright, cool. That's um I mean you're a loser speech. You're a loser.

SPEAKER_03 35:14

Um loser speech. You lost. Um I don't I don't remember that. Hey, Josh said he's gonna grant me a season point.

SPEAKER_01 35:26

What the fuck?

SPEAKER_03 35:27

Hell yeah. Thank you, Josh. Josh never grants me season point. I appreciate you. Never grants me any season point. You're the best. That's a lie. I think he gives them a good one.

SPEAKER_00 35:37

I think he I think he's almost exclusively given them to you, actually. That's just because I'm better than you.

SPEAKER_03 35:43

I think Alex and I have maybe gotten one from him before. You get majority of them.

SPEAKER_00 35:49

Okay, I'm just better than you, though. Did you get employee of the month for the month of May?

SPEAKER_03 35:58

I am always employee of the month in my eyes because I did. Wow, I'm very proud of you. Does that come with a pay raise?

SPEAKER_00 36:07

Where's where's my present? Does that come with a pay raise? No, it does not, and that's sad. So again, if you want your name tattooed on me, thousand dollars. He

You stole the last scoop of mac and cheese from Thanksgiving dinner that your brother was really looking forward to. What are you eating talking about? And uh that is your sin, and you must repent for it before you can get out of the sewer by taking a leap of faith.
