0:00.0	This whole nearly two-hour movie, both for me!
0:28.7	It's all for you! I don't want it! I don't want it! Jump! I like this movie!
0:36.4	It's, you know what? It's fine. Hi guys! Welcome back to another episode of What Went Wrong.
0:45.2	This is our special spooky Halloween surprise drop for y'all. And for it, Lizzie made me watch
0:53.6	1976's The Elman. I did. And I'm excited to talk about it, even though it was not the scary,
1:03.8	terrifying movie I remember from when I was like seven or eight years old. Although there are
1:09.1	parts of it that I think are still pretty effective, I love this movie. This is the other one.

2:17.4	One of my favorites, the stupidity of the sixes continue. Listen, blame the Bible for that one.
2:24.1	Revelations never should have been in the Bible. Revelations is technically in the Bible, although not
2:29.8	a lot of Eastern Orthodox churches included as canon. Because it's the most fun.
2:36.0	It's the silliest book. It was written not by John, the guy claimed to be John, but everybody's
2:41.7	pretty sure this guy was not super smart. He was just writing a book in Turkey. Some of the
