0:34.7

I mean, I think that was the thing I was most shocked by.

0:38.0

Like, I saw so many more influences of drag me to hell in this movie than I did any of Sam Ramey's other films. Like a loony tune, funny levels of violence. Yes. Even the CGI, which we'll talk about because I, I'm not convinced, like, the, the, The cartooner CGI is like a bad thing in this movie.
