Summary

The First Purge is about the first purge, but it’s not actually the first Purge movie. It’s the fourth Purge movie, but set during the first purge in the Purge universe. Still following? No matter, Be Good and Rewatch It is here to help. Writer/director James DeMonaco, who helmed the past three movies, only worked on the script for The First Purge, with Gerard McMurray (Burning Sands) stepping in—a refreshing shift the franchise has badly needed. As we close out our discussion of the Purge series, Austin, Patrick, Rob, Danielle, and Natalie gather to break down a franchise that surprised, delighted, and disappointed us.

1:25.7	made it and we made it through this series, which honestly when we started
1:28.7	talking about doing the purge movies, I was the only one that had seen a
1:33.1	significant chunk of them and I had burned out on the third one in a way that
1:37.3	was like, I'm good. Like, I'm I rewatched all the Halloween movies, but you know
1:42.8	what? I don't need a fourth purge movie. And so we had originally talked about
1:46.3	maybe not even doing a discussion of the fourth one. But then like we saw some
1:52.4	details, but like it was directed by someone different. That you know, this guy
1:57.1	I'll get into, Gerard McMurray, who is doing some work with Jordan Peele on the
1:59.9	Twilight's and reboot and it's like, ah, you know, we've come this far, we might
2:02.3	as well see the last one out. And so if you've listened these before, know that
