[music] Welcome back to Midnight Movie Theater. Tonight we're watching Lawmore Brock by Andre Zulowski. [explosion] [applause] Zulowski is one of my favorite filmmakers. His movies are uncompromising and unique. In his first feature-length movie, The Third Part of the Night, a real baby is born in the fucking movie. [explosion] It's the first time I've ever seen a real birth in a movie. And a blew my fucking mind. [explosion] I heard this movie described as Zulowski's Dark Knight. I can't see the similarities, but it'd be like the Dark Knight if every character was the Joker and the Joker smoked fans. [explosion] And also, he'd have to be super horny. [explosion] And also again, you'd have to get rid of Harvey Dent's shitty dog-shit CGI-looking face that he has in the movie. And that's one thing that I can't believe people don't talk about that more. People just kind of ignore the fact that he has a half-CGI dog-shit face because they like the movie so much. Hit that bull off the TV. I bought a couple of DVDs over. A brief summary of this one more brook. A group of gangsters, Robabank, two of the members involved in the robbery, Mickey and Leon, Leon, are after the same woman whose name is Marie. This causes a lot of friction in the movie. [explosion] There's also an elaborate revenge storyline running through all of this. This movie starts out at a 10 and it never slows down. I've never seen a movie keep this kind of pace. It feels really chaotic and it just kind of slowly reveals the plot and the characters' motivations every so often because there's so much other shit going on. There are always running-- no one's ever sitting still in this fucking movie the entire time. It would be crazy. But I do like this. It keeps you on your toes. That's for sure. [applause] And-- but I can see how it would be hard to take all of this movie in with one sitting. I feel like I got a lot of the major points down, but-- but yeah, it was tricky. And not to mention, everyone's talking so fast that the subtitles are going fucking crazy. It was like trying to read subtitles for a damn "Buster Rhymes" music video. [music playing] I want you to hold this button. Here hold this. It's Kool-Aid. We put this on bitches like you. Click your lips and stick your hand in that Kool-Aid. Just stick it in there. Now take your finger, just do this to the bottom one. Come here. Now I can't shoot. You don't want flavor mother [bleep] Luckily, I think I was able to pick up on a lot of the major plot points throughout the movie. I think the trick is to try and decide what's important dialogue and what is more about the mood of whatever's happening. A lot of times, there will just be a character doing a big monologue. And it's mostly just them getting out their feelings, or it almost sounds like they're reciting poetry. A lot of Zulaski's movies that I've seen will have moments like this. It almost feels like you're watching a play, all of a sudden, which is something I find really unique about its movies. I like it. It's different, that's for sure. Also, there is a play that happens in this movie, and the way they incorporate that is pretty neat. Another familiar device is The Love Triangle. This is my fifth Zulaski movie I've seen so far, and all of them have had a love triangle of some kind. [ Along with that, there really isn't a single good guy in this movie. There are just different levels of bad guy. Stinky Pids and all, baby. Oh, yeah, this movie's French. There were a few times when we'd be introduced to someone or a group of people, and I'd start to think, oh, maybe they're going to reveal themselves as the good guy. But nope. Beach, that's just my pee-oh. They're all fucking bad. Every one of them. Another thing worth noting before spoiling the whole damn movie is that this movie is an interpretation of the Russian book, The Idiot, by Fayador Fiedor Dozshevsky, which came out in 1868. [APPLAUSE] If you want to learn more about Zulaski, I've done episodes on possession and his first movie, the third part of the night. I go into his background and upbringing in both of those episodes a lot more, mostly because they seem to be a little more personal to his real life. And also, I just want to give a quick shout out to Red Thunder, the Aldi version of Red Bull. When I was going to buy this, I was like, oh, I hope this doesn't taste like Red Bull. But it looks like Red Bull. It's called Red Thunder. But it says it's berry flavored. So I was like, well, Red Bull doesn't taste like berries of any kind. It tastes like melted batteries. [MUSIC PLAYING] Stinky pits and all. So I bought the Red Thunder. I took it home. I was excited to try it out. And when I did, guess what? Tastes like fucking Red Bull. [MUSIC PLAYING] And I'm a little pissed off about it. Anyway, let's listen to some music. I'm going to smoke some weed. And then we will get right into this shit. Let's see here. [NON-ENGLISH SINGING] [MUSIC PLAYING] I bet you never heard old Marzo Dillon say. Miss Kitty, have you ever thought we're running away? Settleing down, would you marry me? If I ask you twice, I bet you're pretty please. The seat of said yes in a New York minute. They never tied the knot. His heart wasn't in it. He just stole a kiss as he rode away. He never hung his head up at Kitty's place. I should have been a cowboy. I should have learned to roll the ride. Wearin' my sex shoe, ridin' my pony on a cat and drive. Stealing a young girl's hearts, just like Jean and Roy. Singin' those campfire songs. Oh, I should have been a cowboy. I might have had a sidekick with a fun hand name. Running wild, he was chasing Jesse James bending up on the brink of danger. Riding shotgun for the Texas rain, no less young man. Haven't you been told? California's photo escaped, wearin' a ghost, leavin' out all night beneath the desert stars. Dreamin' my eye and a prayer in my heart. I should have been a cowboy. I should have learned to roll the ride. Wearin' my sex shoe, ridin' my pony on a cat and drive. Stealing a young girl's hearts, just like Jean and Roy. Singin' those campfire songs. Oh, I should have been a cowboy. This one is so nice, you don't even want to stop it. This one is my whole song. I don't know. I should have been a cowboy. I should have learned to roll the ride. I'd be wearin' my sex shoe, ridin' my pony on a cat and drive. Stealing a young girl's hearts, just like Jean and Roy. Singin' those campfire songs. Oh, I should have been a cowboy. Yeah, I should have been a cowboy. I should have been a cowboy. Wow, great song. Shout out to Toby Keith. That was a good ass song. This movie starts off with a line of four guys. They're just standing around with Mickey Mouse masks on, doing some calisthenics. They're like doin' burpees and jumping jacks and shit. They're all wearing jumpsuits and they rush into this bank with machine guns and shot guns and one guy, he's just running around, he just does a somersault through a glass window for some reason. They're doin' like Donald Duck noises and shit. This dude gets the safe open and then they run around all silly like, they're just gettin' wacky as fuckin' and they're throwin' around smoke bombs. Everything's pretty hectic right now. It's not a very careful looking robbery. They get a bunch of trash sacks filled with money and run out to this garbage truck. They throw all the cash in the back of the garbage truck and then they throw the masks in there too. They strip off their costumes and they're just wearing like suits and shit. Like they look like a bunch of gangsters. Watchin' the whole list, buddy. There whole list. It's Kool-Aid. We put this on bitches like you. The cops drive by and don't even realize that they just passed the fuckin' bank robbers. They don't, the guys don't get in the garbage truck. I assume they were gonna drive away in that thing but they just run over and they just start running around the city. Like what the hell are they doin'? Drive away in the truck, man. Get that bull off the TV. This one guy hops on a train and you can kind of tell right away, this must be a pretty big operation. There's just all sorts of people involved. Everybody, I feel like everybody they run into is like walking up to him like, "Yeah, good job. We're out in the bank. Let's get on the train now." Watchin' the whole list, buddy. Anyway, this one dude is just wailing around on the train and his underwear or walking around on the train and his underwear. And this kind of blonde guy, I think it's, "Oh, what the fuck is the name?" Mickey? Yeah. The blonde guy Mickey is just kind of having this really claustrophobic conversation with the other guy in the hallways. They're just like clogging up the whole fuckin' aisle and talking about how the Mickey guys in love with the actress Marie or something like that. Anyway, after this, everything calms down when the police arrive. They're just kind of checking everyone's passports on the trains, the cop's leave and the guys go back to acting like a bunch of crazy fox. They're just going all over the place, making all sorts of silly noises. Stinky pits and all, baby. The blonde guy Mickey and the other dude Leon are just kind of hanging out of the train as they arrive. The train stops and they're just about to buy nearly 100 porno magazines. These guys are just like stampeding this like bodega or some shit and they're just gonna buy all these pornos. They're super horny. One of this movie is very horny and very crazy. I don't really know why. Watch you the whole list, buddy. They're all just cracking up yelling and moving around like they're fucking crazy. Later that night, the group of dudes are waiting outside some big ass building and ambulance pulls up and throws these big ass trash bags of money out. They run into the building and they're just laughing and acting crazy as hell. They start whooping everybody's ass that they run past though and Mickey goes up to this room that Marie's in, she answers the door and yeah, this is the lady that Mickey is engaged to I guess maybe or at least he wants to be engaged to her. I couldn't really figure out what the fuck was going on like are they together? Are they not together? She doesn't really seem that excited to see him or something. But anyway, she just kind of like yeah, hello, Mickey nice to see you or whatever and then her and Leon have a little moment where they like recite some poetry to each other and kind of like make eye contact like that like what's up? Marie now joins the group of the bank robber people and they're all just running through this fucking building. They're like holding everyone at gunpoint that works there or something. Mickey sets this old guy on a table and a chair and shoves a knife through the butt of the chair and the guy at first I was like, oh, I think that's just like a threat but I think the knife was in his butt and I don't know how I feel about that Mickey. And figure out where I'm at and my notes Mickey is just like speaking gibberish to this guy mixed with so it's like impot it's like it's really it's kind of hard to I think this is one of those moments that I was talking about earlier though where it's like it doesn't matter what he's saying here you when he's cutting in and out of dialogue he's really just kind of like talking shit to this guy I'm pretty sure I think this movie is more of a vibe than it is one that you're just like really hanging on to the dialogue for but anyway I don't know what I'm talking about. Leon and Marie they just keep having these like more of these more like subtle moments while this crazy shit's going on where they're kind of looking at each other like what's up. Mickey kind of starts to realize that there's about to be a love triangle he's just like shit I'm gonna have to I don't know what he's gonna have to do Mickey runs into the room with all these old people and just launches a couple grenades in there it's the room with the guy with the knife in his butt they explode and everything in the room is is on fire and then they just run out of there and now they're at some club it looks like they've kidnapped one of the butlers or something which this is what I wrote down and because that's what it looked like to me because they're just like abusing this guy but I don't know if like he switches sides or if or maybe that's just how they always treat him because he's on their side for the rest of the movie and we see this guy throughout the entire movie and I'll probably talk about it a little more later but anytime you see him he's acting fucking like a different level of crazy it's interesting there's like a scene where I'll talk about a later but he's just like eating food in the middle of the road like sitting like cross-legged with no shoes on and seems like the middle of the day just eating like a salad off the floor or something I was like fuck anyway right now though they're just pouring champagne all over his ass and yeah so far the entire movie is just straight chaos and there's just people dancing the whole time I don't know this whole opening scene there's so many people like shoving food in each other's faces and pouring booze on their heads at this there's like have this dining table set up at this club after dumping more like spaghetti and shit on people and flipping over tables Mickey just grabs Marie and they start dancing fast as fuck and it's pretty decent honestly I thought they were just gonna do some like bullshit dances but like no they were they were hitting all the points or whatever all the beats it was I was impressed a lot of spinning and shit you know it's not that easy to spin around when you're dancing this dude runs in and he is just frantic as fuck he basically slides down the stairs on his ass it's like he can't wait he can't take the time to just walk down each step or even you know jump down the staircase it's a pretty big staircase instead he just goes like into full sled mode on his ass and just rides the stairs down and yeah we kind of get a hint that Leon thinks Marie is a great person but everyone just keeps trying to tell him like hey dumbass she's not a good person you're just very very horny and he's like no I don't think so she seems really nice oh man it's just one of those things I think Mickey's dad comes in or something like that he comes in to the room yeah and he's basically just like hey I get that you're doing all this bank robbery shit to impress me and getting revenge on this family that we're gonna learn about later but yeah that was a really dumb fucking thing to do don't why'd you do that hey bud don't rob a bank don't get revenge on the families that see god oh yeah I'm just watching the movie right now there's people getting machine gun left and right holy fuck and that's man yeah great looking movie they're going yeah so they're gonna be he's just like hey Mickey they're gonna be coming for your ass don't you know that he's just like yeah he's like now they're gonna get revenge on you mother and right as they're having this conversation a bunch of guys run in with machine guns that's like whoa what the fuck is going on here now they're outside regrouping it's raining more of the family members show up and just start blasting at the bank robber group Mickey pulls a gun out and shoots one of his own guys because he's like freaking out he's like oh fuck Mickey you're cursed this is all part of the curse I'm gonna run away and there's something Mickey shoots him anyway meanwhile Marie and Leon kiss and they find themselves in a room to stay the night in so while we're getting checked into this hotel room we kind of learned that Marie used to be a prostitute or something like that and like she I couldn't really figure it out at this point but I was like she has some sort of connection to this rich family that they're getting revenge on like either she's she works for them or something or she is married to one of them but I really don't think that's it I don't think unless I mean maybe she is I don't know see if I figured out as I'm reading my notes I'm kind of a standard right now how little I knew about the movie this far into my notes but I think that is just one of the things that does really well where it shows you like just enough like I guess you don't really need to know exactly what's going on the whole time that'd be kind of boring anyway or was I Leon and Marie they make the way to the bed and she mentions like her fingers and toes are always cold and she's just kind of like warming them up with his breath and mouth and stuff like that they're getting a little sexual and then they get even more sexual she just gets butt-ass naked and we just get a little montage of them doing sex they're kind of like 69ing each other and stuff like that and there's one scene where she's just like sucking them off and he's like oh wait I'm bleeding she says no she says you're coming that's an I'm bleeding so for some reason Maria's bleeding some blood just comes out of her mouth like she pulls her head up from sucking this guy and there's just blood coming out of her mouth I don't know anyway then we kept her walking around the room awake and Leon sleeping the phone rings and Leon answers it it's Maria being like hey I'm gone you should probably forget about me and all the bloody bloody blow job that I gave you or whatever happened he freaks out and he's just like tearing down the fucking hotel room he's just like ripping up the curtains and he's fucking crying and shit and he looks like a mess he's all sweaty Leon runs to some other apartment door and an old guy answers the door and this old guy is wearing nothing but a green latex apron he's just butt-fucking naked in there with his whole ass sticking out and this shiny green apron so the old guy brings him in and starts feeding him some other fucking lady comes in and he just starts freaking the fuck out he mentions her looking like his mother or something and I think it maybe this is his or no it's his aunt that's right but he's just like shoving the breakfast table into her for some reason and just spilling shit everywhere and it I mean you wouldn't have guessed it by this whole interaction but I think they're friends like I think they get along throughout the movie for the most part and I don't know because I thought he was attacking her I was like he's gonna kill this fucking lady what's happening this other lady comes in and he just starts hugging her and jumping and yelling a bunch and yeah I'm not sure I didn't know what the fuck was going on right here I was just like he's mad at this lady I guess he has to shower with the table but then this other lady who seems to also live here he's very happy about or he's yelling about and then things finally calm down for a little bit Leon is cleaned up and talking to this lady about his mom and what happened to her I think his mom is dead from the sounds of it the lady is just kind of going on about how she wants to be an actor but she ended up doing cheap pornos and is maybe now getting a chance to finally act in a real play good for her Leon is in some room with the blonde lady she's trying to get his attention and he's just kind of like keeps turning away he's trimming his toenails he doesn't seem to give a shit that she's getting next to him in this bed basically so then she gets naked and she just starts riding him like a skateboard and I'm pretty sure this is his cousin I like I didn't know this right now so the only thing that was weird to me was that she jumps on his back like a skateboard and starts riding him like on the bed or whatever like like a skateboard he's just face down and she's just kind of talking shit to him while she's doing all this and then it looks like the butler guy from the robbery comes in and takes that lady to another room to to banger yeah yeah that that guy comes in there to bang the lady that was on his back and I think she was talking shit to him because he wouldn't banger or something like that but it's and at this point I'm like okay whatever but like when you kind of figure out later that that's his cousin it's like what's the whole list but here's a whole list it's Kool-Aid we put this on bitches like you flick your lips let's stick your hand in that Kool-Aid just stick it in there now take your finger just do this to the bottom one camera I kiss you you orange flavor mother then it looks like the butler guy from the robbery comes in and he takes that same lady to another room to banger a bunch of fancy people oh fuck anyway where was I a bunch of fancy people arrive at this house there's a bald guy that we see that looks like one of his eyes is punched out I'm not sure if these people are part of the theater crowd or what it seems like at this point I don't really know the fuck they are but yeah later on you find out that they're like part of this whole like theater trope that has like orgies and does drugs and shit anyway this this house it seems like it's a whore house I'm not really I wasn't sure at this point I was like are these like women of the night or something women for hire something like that is kind of what it seems like people are just showing up to bang like left and right it's crazy anyway there's all these people here and they're just like grabbing each other by the nuts and stuff like that and pulling their tits out left and right Leon goes to the kitchen to fill up some water bottles and then all of a sudden he just starts having a fucking panic attack her like a meltdown or something and it's because he sees Marie through a window across the street he can just kind of make out her silhouette a little bit and see her like blurry face Leon runs across the street and is let into this building these guys let him in but are just like spinning him around and harassing him a bunch it's really odd and then this other guy just comes up and grabs him by the dick really hard and he falls to the ground he's like fuck my dick. Marie stops all this she's like hey Lee Malone shit I think this guy right now I'm thinking like did this guy double cross Mickey or something like was this his plan all along to join up with Marie and join the evil family that they're trying to kill Marie explains that she knew he'd be at the apartment so she suggested them getting an apartment across the street she's like yeah this is my plan all along we're going to meet up now I just knew that by chance you would see me through the fucking window eventually and run on over here Marie and Leon go into one of the rich family members hospital rooms that's set up in this apartment she just starts spooning soup all over his face like pouring it on his face he has green shitty looking soup all over him and his face and his hospital bed and this is the guy that had the knife put into his butt and they got blown up by the grenade somehow he's still alive although like his leg is in a cast his neck is in a brace he's looks like he's got like an eye eye patch on or something like he's pretty fucked up right now and he's old and Maria is just kind of freaking out all of a sudden like while she's feeding him she just starts like banging into his hospital bed hardest shit and and then all of a sudden the old guy in the bed just kind of like forces himself out of the bed and starts chasing after Leon Leon he's yeah it's crazy he's just like hobbling after him he's like half crippled with the neck brace and he chases Leon down a big staircase and right before he's about to shoot Leon Mickey comes out of nowhere and blast the guy in the neck brace right through the head it's pretty pretty crazy and apparently this this was also kind of a plan that Mickey and Marie maybe set up I'm assuming like there but it's maybe it was just like a vague idea of a plan because to think that we in would see Marie in the window come over right when Mickey's waiting outside and knew that this like guy would chase after Leon like it's a stretch but it worked they got his ass we just cut over to Leon I'm going to say his name like any way you can imagine Leon Leon Leon we cut over to Leon at a police station I believe he's talking to a detective and this guy is just kind of explaining how Marie's family died at the hands of the venom family he's kind of aware of what's going on but I think he sympathizes with Marie at least that's kind of what I could tell at this point he kind of like lets us know that Mickey's getting revenge by killing all these fucking family members the venom family because they did some shit to Marie that we'll find out about later on so this guy he does not arrest Leon and he just kind of kicks his ass a little bit before he lets him go he throws him down does some like kicks to the ribs you know put the boots doing a little bit for some reason because he likes he seems to really be rooting for Marie Leon stops by the whorehouse apartment place and then just starts rushing down the street he comes upon a crowd surrounding a burning car and then this guy who is involved in all this shit just grabs him and starts walking him down the street he's explaining how Mickey has a bone to pick with him because he got with Marie and he tries to give him a book about how to survive on trial this dude is just kind of fucking rambling honestly I don't know other than maybe the Mickey stuff it's like I don't know if any of this is important they get to the outside staircase and these dudes with machine guns grab them and pat them down this fucking guy in a bright orange suit grabs Leon and is just explaining how he has a job for him and this guy just right away you're like oh he's really fucking weird okay Leon goes inside and this guy uh patts him down again and grabs his dong a couple times it's like what the hell dude what's that all about Leon uh walks into a room with Marie she just starts freaking out and Mickey comes in and throws her in a closet and locks a closet or something and then he just starts uh whooping Leon's ass a little bit for banging Marie he's like this what you get um and Mickey wants to hurt or maybe even kill Leon but he can't he's just like god damn it dog why do you have to do that uh he tries to get him to leave but instead they pull up chairs and sit by the window until the orange shirt guy comes in um and there is something here that'll come back later uh Mickey was talking about how he like pulls out a knife a switchblade or some shit and he's like talking about how he's gonna wrap the blade and silk so that he when he stabs him it wouldn't hurt or something like that or he wouldn't feel it i don't know what the fuck this means this has to have some sort of double meaning because i was like no one really thinks that right Mickey's not that fucking dumb uh the group all leave together they're just acting freaky as fuck again they're just wilding out uh the orange guy's group they meet up with this other group of uh people so there's this other gangster who wears an orange suit his group of people meet up with this other gang that has like butlers and shit walking by them in the street they just have like trays with drinks on them and they're like doing shit for the gangsters like i don't know like tying their tie or something or making their bed they have like beds behind the cars or beds are in the cars um and it's quite a scene they go to make a deal but the orange guy just grabs the dude uh the main butler gang dude and just cuts his throat and the rest of his crew just start blasting everyone and setting cars on fire they're just creating all sorts of shit uh and this is all happening in the middle of this busy town downtown city area so uh there's just like a shitload of people around it's very chaotic and then all of a sudden i don't know where there's a fucking car chase this the bank robber people they get into a big-ass pink Cadillac um and they're just chasing these guys down mickey runs the guy off the road who is part of the other group the butler gang and they both just smash into a wall and uh the guy driving the first car is laying on the road all fucked up with the bun sticking out of his leg he's just screaming and they grab that motherfucker and they're just like what's the whole list that one startled me what's the whole list but here's a whole list it's cool hey we put this on bitches like you uh yeah so they just grab him uh the guy with the bone sticking out of his leg and he's just screaming and they're like yeah i'm getting a fucking car or something and leon starts just going nuts running down the street with all this traffic and chase flailing around yelling and then the orange guy runs over to him grabs him and brings him back to the car he's like nope can't be doing all that shit right now that's just my bio uh it's the next morning and this group seems like they've been out all night doing this crazy shit and the morning it looks like they're about to do another bank robbery or something they're kind of getting uh back into form or whatever where they have all their guns and shit i guess that was the plan that's why they've been out all night some guy just pulls up with a flamethrower and starts burning all the doors on this building and even when they're inside the building he's just flamethrowing the shit out of all these doors it's smokier than fucking there it's worse than my fog machine one of the venom family guys is in there i uh yes it is i've put in parentheses i think it is it is now that i've seen the movie i know exactly what the fuck's going on in this movie and uh they just keep fucking with this guy a bunch he's kind of like a big fat guy and they're like yeah get your big fat ass naked and pull your dick out and stuff like that we want to see a little dick and i don't know i don't know but if i agree with that watch the whole this but um and when they bust in there um when they first busted in there like the those guys were like doing they were shooting up or something with one of their friends it might have been that butler guy i was talking about earlier anyway they just they just start flamethrowing everything in there and acting crazier than fuck again leon just keeps typing on all these typewriters fast as fuck he's like running from desk to desk and acting like he's typing a bunch of shit they take the venom brother to the bathroom the big fat naked guy and uh he mentions he mentions something about the lady that leon was talking to earlier wait yeah the older oh no no no he must be talking about marie here i'm pretty sure or marie's mom but i wasn't for sure i thought he was talking about the older actress lady that knew his mom or something like that but no i think i'm wrong i think i misunderstood that part i'm pretty sure he's talking about uh marie's mom um and then after they uh do that uh they just flamethrower the big ass guy right in the bathroom right there he's just uh burning on fire and it's a wild shot because the flamethrower is very real and the camera never cuts away like everything that flamethrower is torching is it's real fire for sure micky and leon are going nuts outside talking about uh honestly who knows what they could be talking about anything right now they're like talking about uh the constellations or something micky sees marie and runs over to her and is like all right it's done uh let's go and marie asks him to fix her and by fixer she means bang her right on the sidewalk so he does he just uh pulls his dong out and bangs her i guess yeah they're just right outside of this building that they were just in on the sidewalk banging get that ball off the tv this of course causes leon to start running around the fucking like a fucking scarecrow for some reason he's like the scarecrow from uh the the voice of the laws stinky pits and all baby and then until he runs into the butler guy that keeps popping up everywhere and this is the guy that i was talking about that's eating the food in the middle of the street this is when that happens so this guy is just like eating a salad on the road and with no shoes on it's very interesting i think i probably am remembering that wrong it's probably something completely different micky marie and the crew just pull up to leon and she gets out and is like what's up i love you you know or something like that and it's just like oh and then the scene cuts over to the butler guy blow drying some lady's pussy and doing cocaine off of some other naked lady and uh and behind him there's a whole other party going on where this guy in a wheelchair is getting sucked off by some dude and then the wheelchair guy pulls up pulls out a gun and he just puts it up to the the guy that's sucking him his head he's just like i don't know why he does this uh the one-eyed guy is there just smoking fat in the bathroom and making out with some lady the whole thing's a fucking mess uh leon rushes in there screaming and yelling about how awful everything is eventually he just breaks a vase and then uh then he bangs his cousin i'm pretty sure i'm pretty sure he does i'm pretty sure that's his cousin she at least calls him cousin and she seems like they are this is uh yeah this is the blonde lady that was trying to bang him earlier but ended up banging the butler guy i don't know if any of this is making sense to be honest uh we cut the leon and this lady running into some sort of art gallery leon just takes a big old taste of paint get that bull off tv why not yeah he just uh looks looks his finger after he sticks it in fucking paint why does he do this no one knows so all the people at this weird orgy party are at the theater they are the theater people this lady has convinced leon to uh that the this weird theater life is that she lives is the way to go he's just like you know what your life seems pretty cool i think i'm just gonna tag right along so he sits in on a rehearsal in this big empty theater marie sneaks in behind him though and leon uh and covers leon's eyes and just starts going on about how much she loves them and shit so uh they run off together they're in this dressing room and she just rips his damn pants off she's like how about i tie up your feet to this chair and put lipstick on you while you're crying and shit and uh she does all this she ties his feet to the chair starts like doing his makeup and shit and he's she's like rough housing with him and he's crying and she's basically just saying like this is how i'm treated all the time so now i'm going to uh treat you this way how's that sound and uh i'm gonna like yeah i'm gonna tie you up make you feel ridiculous now she throws him on a bed while his feet are still tied to this chair so it's real uncomfortable looking for him he's just all over the fucking place she gets on him and uh she just like sits on his chest and spits right in his damn mouth the cousin oh sorry i need some red thunder i went too long without a drink of red thunder i started a little started to crash oh sorry sorry sorry sorry so yeah yeah so she just spitting his mouth i forgot where it was she just spitting his mouth and is like uh yep i'm gonna i'm gonna abuse you i guess i guess you tricked him to going in there or something by being like hey i love you we should go back here and bang i guess but instead how about i just whoop your ass on the bed or spitting all over your mouth the cousin walks in and Maria just kind of takes off she doesn't even try to stick around and talk about whatever's going on in here leon tries to take off after but his feet are all tied up still so he ends up breaking free and chasing marie down before he gets to her she collapses on the sidewalk though he picks her up and they get a ride from this crazy bald fucker that's been involved in all of these crimes so far i don't think i've mentioned him but he has like a cross tattoo on his the top of his bald head he runs them to the train and leon and marie escape after this and uh yeah so now i'm starting to think like oh maybe she uh does want to get away from micky but at the same time she's completely fucking nuts um so you can't really trust her i think at this point we know this leon does not know this he is a fucking idiot um marie and leon end up in a cab cabin in the woods and it looks really peaceful this is actually like a really nice like serene moment and a great uh change of pace from the rest of the movie where it's like wow here we go and they're just kind of enjoying uh the peacefulness of nature at this moment it's like wow no machine guns no spaghetti fights no grenades blowing up old people with knives in their asses uh and they're back inside and she kind of explains that this was her mom and dad's cabin she's just giving her a little giving them a little backstory on her life and stuff like that but they start banging and after a cut of them just lying down in the dark she says my father killed himself in that room it's like a really big juxtaposition of them banging to her just like dumping some more shit on him like anyway then she says like she tells him that she's lying about how he died and he's like or that he died at all i guess she's just like yeah i'm fucking lying i can't remember if i mentioned this earlier but she pretty much warns leon right off the bat that this whole time her specialty is lying and she'll never stop lying to him or anyone else and he's just like uh he's like yeah i don't believe that and she's like no i'm telling you right now i'm gonna be fucking lying and manipulating your ass through the rest of the movie and he's just like we'll see he's like fucking leon you dumbass and he's like are you lying about the fact that he hanged himself or or instead of shooting himself and she says no and she i think she either hints at it or almost tells him that he didn't kill himself at all or something like that or maybe she gets ready to and she just starts crying because it's raining outside so i can't i can't remember if i i don't think i picked that up in the moment i thought her dad was definitely dead according to her i think at this moment later on we find out that her dad is not dead i'm just gonna go ahead and throw that out there right now okay stinky pits and all baby maria and leon go to a convenient story leon just starts spinning around in circles with his arms out knocking shit off the shelves left and right right in front of the worker it's like one of those tiny little uh convenient stores uh where you pretty much can only be around the cash register because there's like two shelves in the entire store and this is just a quick scene that leads us to a quiet scene of maria talking to leon some more about her life but it seems like it's in more of like a metaphorical style of way she's just kind of explaining her why she is the way she is why she's always lying bitch that's just my video this cuts to leon arriving to the cabin with a bunch of groceries he's met by mikey who just immediately pulls a knife on him mikey takes maria and the bald guy with the cross on his head that gave them the ride to the train uh that guy shows up and picks up leon yeah yeah i said that all fucked up but mikey takes maria with him they drive off in a car and the bald guy that i was talking about he picks up leon so yeah i wrote that down like a really fucked up way he just kind of uh dressing him and dragging him outside he's like come with me he's basically explaining how he's always the guy that's going to be able to get them anything they want or something he's like i'm the fucking guy you know when you need something i'm the fucking guy watch you the whole list but very whole list it's cool hey we put this on bitches like and then he takes the bald guy to the actual light performance of the play that uh his maybe cousin was rehearsing for and the middle of the play leon just walks in and stands right in front of maria who is there with mikey's gang and uh the cousin that's performing uh just starts giving this doing this big scene and the camera focuses in on her and just like really slowly zooms in like uh closer and closer uh and leon is just kind of standing off to the side with his arms out still he's arms wide open right now the camera keeps zooming in on the cousin uh like right in on her face as she does this honestly a really great monologue this is the this is one of the scenes where it cuts to the theater performance where it's just like uh works really well for me and she is sweaty as hell like the closer you get you see that like her makeup is sweating off she looks like someone just squirted baby oil right in her face and it looks great the cousin takes leon uh back to her dressing room after the performance the performance gets a standing ovation everyone's happy there marigos in there and just shoves leon out of the room uh the butler guy does a joke to leon that involves him sucking on leon's finger for a second and this is just another thing where it's like this is the guy eating the salad in the road what the fuck is his problem? Marie and the cousin uh the room and the cousin is like hey uh go ahead and turn the stage lights back on everybody and everyone's kind of like what the fuck for? watch the whole list but marie says uh it's a childhood dream of mine so they do and then marie starts to perform the scene that we just saw the cousin do there's some stragglers in the audience but for the most part the theater is empty uh other than these stragglers and the crew from the play the cousin whispers to this old guy oh she's better than me in the middle of her monologue and um marie grabs this one guy and mentions that uh he is the only venom family member that hasn't touched her the orange shirt guy jumps jumps out and pulls guns on everyone oh yeah yeah that orange shirt gangster guy i don't know what the fuck his name is he jumps out and he pulls guns on everybody micky takes marie again and they leave the cousin takes the theater owner and is like hey i want to bang you right in front of the young because he's such a fucking dickhead is that cool and the old guy is like yeah that is cool i love this i own the theater so they drive off to some random parking garage where there are all these like hookers walking around and shit and the cousin just starts banging this theater guy in front in the front seat of the car get that ball off the tv he's um yeah and leon just kind of like tied up in the back or something uh yeah or they take him out of the car and they make him watch through like the uh the the front windshield yeah they like his the theater owner is also a gang member i guess or something he has gang guys that are throwing leon on top of the car and like holding him and making him watch uh this guy bang his cousin i guess so he's on the cut of the cut of the car and when it shows him he has bright yellow eyes like contact lenses and uh he's looking at his cousin banging this guy and she mouths the words to him she's like get lost uh there's a door behind you or something like that and she's like and he's like oh shit this is my chance so he uh takes off and micky and the orange shirt guy just bust through the door right as he's about to open it and then they just start fucking blasting the guy that was banging the cousin uh once things settle down they shoot the car with shotguns until it explodes leon still has uh yellow contact lenses in his eyes through all of this i don't know he's turning into a cat beat that's just my b-o they all take off to some sort of uh storage building where they have a bunch of crates of money and artwork and oh we find out this is the venom guy's storage building he uh told micky where they could find some sort of home video that shows the venom family members assaulting and torturing who at the time i'm just kind of guessing as marie's mother um it was uh it wasn't he's like yeah it was it's in a gone with the wind vhs case so they go and find this vhs um and when and they put it on a projector the lady in the video looks like she's been drugged up and uh they're just kind of like fucking with her the whole time like pushing her around and like peeing on her and stuff like that it's weird it feels uh like a snuff film basically is what they're watching uh because they eventually light her on fire and she runs and jumps out of like a third story window and crashes to the ground burnt as hell um and as the camera the uh home footage camera is painting around we see that there's a child watching outside and that child was a young marie she uh explained so yeah the venom oh yeah oh it's not even done yet that's not even the end of this video because then the family members these i guess their brothers they all go over to her burnt up body and just start pissing on it out the window and pouring booze on it it's like god damn marie is just watching all that through the bushes what the fuck no wonder she's a fucking mess um marie explains that she played hooky from school that day and saw the whole thing she also goes on about how she's found herself in a similar situation right now with micky and all of his crime bullshit all of his his big ass gang that he has going on marie and leon start making out uh micky and the cousin break this up they're like stop making out we like cousin wants to bang leon and micky wants to bang marie they're like stop it this is we don't like it we cut over to the uh butler guy trying to break into a brief case they grab some trash bags of money and then they just take off and by they i think i just mean like the butler guy and some other people leon is talking with the older naked butler the one that was wearing the green apron and he still has yellow eyes again but this time his eyes they just kind of keep switching back to normal every once in a while the old butler takes him to some other old person that's being stored away in like a closet or something like that he's just like this is my guy that i have here in my closet or something or a spare bedroom at this at your cousin's house um the uh yeah yeah we get to the detective uh arresting the other butler there's so many fucking butler's in this movie so this is the butler that was eating the sandwich off the ground and uh i don't know if this was revealed earlier but at this point i'm starting to realize oh this cop is marie's dad because he has like this big old scar on the side of his head um and it's from whenever she was telling leon that her dad killed himself she kind of mentions that like he hung himself and then she says he shot himself but he's not really dead because he got uh nervous and just shot and the side of his head or whatever but then she i think she tells him that he's really dead anyway he's not really fucking dead uh the whole time they're driving the cop in the butler in the backseat the craziest butler he the butler's just nibbling on his ear and shit this goes on to to become a full-mouth kiss the detective let's leon out of the car and he walks into an alley we already know it's her dad because he points to where he tried to shoot himself uh but then we know again for sure because he tells the butler right to his fucking face before he shoots him right in the face the detective takes the bag of money out of the trunk and walks into an alley where he meets up with some guy that i've never seen before who just starts doing gun fingers to him he's just like hell yeah you got the money i hope that did the blends on the video if you're watching the video now we're over with leon he has yellow eyes and looks right at the camera and just spits like he's pissed off a little bit uh he's walking fast as fuck and just like crashing into people like shoulder bump and all sorts of people walking in the fucking road he goes to the orange shirt guy's gang house and just runs into these guards that are reciting poetry to them it's like each one is saying uh so much of a verse and then the next one picks up where the last one left off it's bizarre uh one does some close quarters magic to leon as well that's the guy that had the flamethrower he just like pulls a cat out of a hat or something and he's like surprise magic the orange shirt guy finishes the poetry and leon starts pissing on his shoes bathroom dude um the guy brings leon to mike's room and it seems like mike was in the middle of killing marie uh he asked if leon wants to help him and leon's like no what the fuck no thank you micky and marie are both dressed in white sheets they kind of look like romans like at this point uh micky stabs marie and uh leon starts howling on the ground like a dog or a wolf uh and this this is kind of the thing with the wrapping the blade and silk or whatever like leon does this with marie so i don't yeah again i i should have looked up what this means i have no fucking clue it could mean nothing it probably does mean nothing but something about making the blade softer so it doesn't hurt or something like that they take their shoes off and just start kicking dust everywhere now in this room leon is just standing over marie's body with his arms out just kind of like humming a little thing to himself all these fucking birds are in the room it's just a mess in there right now uh there's pigeons and shit then the venom family shows up outside and uh they just get in a shootout right away with mike and mike gets fucking blasted almost immediately so he's dead and this cuts straight to a row of guys on the train car from the beginning uh it's filled with smoke and we just see all these guys that died in the movie standing in the line leon and marie are there too uh kind of talking about how in a regular film he would be the hero and go on a killing spree we cut back to reality where leon puts a cross on marie's feet and heads out of there with the bald guy that helped him earlier the one with the little cross tattoo on his bald head the bald guy brings him to the theater and the cousin is like don't let this motherfucker out of your sights um and this cuts right to leon being put in a chair and when the camera zooms out he is sitting on the chair in the middle of a train track and then we get the credits that's it that's how it ends there's a little message before the credits actually start rolling that says uh this film was inspired by the idiot by fedor dost chefsky and it is intended as an homage to this great writer so sort of a modern adaptation if you will for 1985 of the idiot the scene with leon on the foggy train with all the dead people at the end i can't tell if that's um implying that he's dead as well maybe that whole scene is trying to uh tell us that or if it's just some insight into his thoughts before he dips out of there like he's like oh shit i shouldn't be a hero right now everyone's getting fucking blasted uh and like if that whole comment about him not being the hero in a regular movie is that fourth wall break you tell me that's just my bio i've never read the idiot but a brief summary described the writing as unconventional and chaotic so i can imagine that's why this movie is the way it is it reflects the writing style of the book and lawmore brock leon is the idiot and by idiot they're referring to his goal ability like when marie is literally telling him she's a liar and she's going to lie to him but he seems to doubt this and uh and he's going to be the one that changes her he's going to fix her or whatever but that's we you know how that goes anyways as far as ratings go i'd give this movie four bloody balls out of five i don't think you're going to see too many brain bank robber movies out there quite like this one yeah that's a good one um yeah it's a great movie the acting is great the effects are very good and i think that's something that could be easily overlooked because of the bonkers ass pace that this movie keeps the flamethrower scene is wild uh you can clearly tell that they're just using a real flamethrower and burning everything in this room meanwhile every person in the room is running around like they're fucking nuts uh and just the seamlessness of that shot um to them flamethrowing the big fat guy is wild it doesn't look like there's a cut between him being backed into this room and him being blasted with a giant fireball and the same goes for the shootouts they look intense as well as the car chase it's all just really well done the camera work in this movie also lives up to the rest of zuulski's movies that i've seen the way the camera moves with the characters or pans around them really just matches the mood and the energy of whatever is going on at that time um there's some really great tracking shots as well like when uh when they're in the airport and stuff it's just yeah overall the movie looks great there are also some very nice looking scenic shots as well and they'll just kind of sneak them in there every once in a while and that's one thing that i'm always looking forward to with uh his movies everyone i've seen so far has looked amazing oh i think it's also worth shouting out uh daniel bird for doing all the uh zuulski releases or at least he was working with zuulski to get his movies a wider release and to just kind of have all this um backstory on on him as a director and um his work in general and you can see i have the one more brock uh dvd right here it's the mondo vision release no way it's amazing it's this big ass uh it's like a velvet or something and it's like this giant booklet with a big book and shit in it and all sorts of extras and feature extra features and stuff like that it's it is really good i would say if you're looking for any zuulski stuff the mondo vision releases are probably where it's at uh so for next week we're going to be picking something out of the danza macabre box set that sevin put out or macabre i don't think it's macabre it's spelled like macabre i don't know what the fuck that means i'm gonna have to learn some things this week um and this is volume one of the italian gothic collection this includes the monsters of the opera the seventh grave scream of the demon lover and lady frankenstein i have seen none of these so i'm pretty excited to crack this bad boy open going to start with the seventh grave so that's what we'll be watching next week i was reading on the back that

S2 Episode 79: After I uploaded the episode I realized the full meaning of this movie. Every reference, every metaphor. The whole thing just clicked.Anyway, just wanted to share that with you so, you full understand how smart and big brained and deep I am........... I definitely don't do this movie justice. Go see it if you get a chance.
