All right.

0:00.4

So we are here.

0:01.5

There's going to be some spoilers here.

0:03.7

And this is a plot-driven movie. So if you haven't seen it, don't listen. Or if you're going to see it, don't listen. But this is a movie called The Housemaid. And I'm going to repeat the joke for the third time, which is that it has two major stars, Sydney, Sweeney. All right. So it does. Yes, it does. So it's Sidney Sweeney, Amanda Saferead.

0:24.4

I don't know. Is it Safe right or Safe Ried? Safe Ryd. Safe Ryd. Okay. Safe Ried. Okay. So Amanda Seafrid and Buttox, man. I can't. Like, literally, I came home. I was driving home. I saw not one, but two moons in the sky.

0:39.8

As the result of this guy, Brandon Sclenar. So we got Sidney, Amanda Seafried, and Brandon

0:48.4

Slenar. It's basically a three-hander, though, of course, there's a minor, minor characters in there as

0:53.1

well. And it is

0:54.6

glorious trash. It is pretty people in pretty houses doing bad things. In between lunges and

1:03.5

sit-ups, they're just doing bad things. The characterization is not, I would say, super deep. We're not getting to Hamlet levels of self-revelation

1:14.4

here, but it is a thrill ride and a half. I think it's fun. I think it's funny. They don't take

1:19.9

themselves too seriously. And I thought it was really just kind of delicious. Like, it's like,

1:44.8

like if you find candy as a kid, you'll eat it, right? I mean, mostly, unless it's been driven over too much. And this is just like finding candy as a kid, you'll eat it.

1:53.7

I didn't really know what to expect at all.

1:56.6

And then they got to the, they got, they got to the point in the middle where, uh, this again,

2:02.4

spoilers, as you said, the, uh, the wife gets, uh, Nina Winchester is a character of name, Amanda's

2:06.9

character, uh, gets leaves the house. And I looked at my watch, I'm like, oh, you're now we're in.

2:11.9

Okay. Um, so, uh, so it was, but by the end, I'm like laughing at how ridiculous things are, but it's also,

2:21.3

it was enjoyable as well. Yeah. Yeah. So my sort of history, the reason why I even noticed
