I waited for you, winter long, you seemed to be where I belong.

It's all illusion anyway.

Good morning or maybe afternoon and welcome to episode 570 of Effectively Wild,

a daily podcast from baseball perspective presented by the play index at baseballreference.com.

I am Ben Lindbergh of Grantland joined by Sam Miller of baseball perspective.

How are you? How are you?

I am well thank you. Can I talk about something? You can, you may.

I want to talk about snowpiercer.

If you still haven't seen snowpiercer, this is not a major spoiler, but it's not a major spoiler,

but it's enough of one that if you haven't seen it in any play and you see it, you might skip ahead two minutes.

But we've talked in the past about, and here we go, here comes the spoiling, the scene with the shooting in the classroom, right?

Right.

And it was my primary objection to the movie was that scene because it's not clear what happens to the children.

It seems like they're either all killed, but they disappear, their carnage is not seen, or they have some way of hiding in the room that we're not aware of,

or they run to the back of the train, and we don't see it or they run to the front of the train and we don't see it or something.

We did not have a solution to this problem at the time.

Nobody offered a solution, there were plenty of hypotheses such as cupboards, a bunch of people emailed to tell me cupboards.

It was always good. Any time a movie pivots on cupberdry, that's good.

But I haven't rewatched the movie.

Really?

Yeah, my wife hadn't seen it, and so it's the rare instance where I'm watching a movie a second time, and I watched extremely closely.

And it was on DVD. It's conceivable that they recut for the DVD.
