00:00:02.480 --> 00:00:07.639
Hello, and welcome back to Out
of this World and based lit Analyzer is

2
00:00:07.799 --> 00:00:11.839
back with me. We're going to
be doing Pan Part two and we have

3
00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:19.960
a fantastic show for you tonight.
Last week we were talking all about Peter

4
00:00:20.079 --> 00:00:28.800
Pan and the god Pan and Dionysus
and Bacchus and mystery schools and how those

5
00:00:29.839 --> 00:00:37.640
went into theater and the Greek mystery
plays and how that all became popular culture

6
00:00:37.679 --> 00:00:44.039
today, movies, plays, songs. All of that stuff was initiatory practices

7
00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:53.920
of the ancient world into cults and
learning how to invoke gods into yourself and

8
00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:57.920
do things in your god form.
So that's what we're going to learn about

9
00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:03.239
tonight. And last time we defined
Pan and we were talking about how Pan

10
00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:10.640
means all universal. It is the
home. So when you say own money,

11
00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:15.359
pop me home, that's a Pan
and any region withdrawn and without the

12
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:21.040
range of waking consciousness. And then
we talked about notings, which we're going

13
00:01:21.079 --> 00:01:26.560
to talk about right now with the
Great God Pan book by Arthur Makin.

14
00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:30.959
And another word I wanted to bring
up out of the glossary of this book

15
00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:37.959
about the hidden God Pan is called
the Night of Pan or n O x

16
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:42.680
so in the Lima. This is
like the when you lose your ego,

17
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:49.760
right, It's called the Night of
Pan and it's part of being reborn by

18
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:53.799
the Goddess of Babylon. There you
go, a life of Alistra Crawley.

19
00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:56.599
Doesn't he talk about that in there? Yes? He does, yes,

20
00:01:56.920 --> 00:02:00.560
Yeah, the Oteo rituals and you
know, I'm sorry to cut you off

21
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:02.159
here. Yeah, it was interesting
this, you know, because I know

22
00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:07.159
we're going to get into the Makin's
the great God Pan here And this was

23
00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:09.719
a crazy book. It was so
cral. Oh man, it's a crazy

24
00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:14.680
book. I mean, there's it's
like you said, it's it's like it's

25
00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:17.080
like a detective story slash poet.
It reminded me of Poe's Murders in the

26
00:02:17.159 --> 00:02:23.159
Room Morgue, which is like the
first detective story and the way that the

27
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:27.800
narrative is set up. But but
the revelation of Pan, of seeing Pan,

28
00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:30.919
you know, in this sort of
hell night that leaves these people with

29
00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:36.879
this horror struck look on their faces
pretty stark. It's pretty crazy book.

30
00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:42.960
It's very much like a Rosemary's Baby
of Korean era, right, very much.

31
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:46.199
Yeah, we'll get into that real
fast. But Okay, So the

32
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:49.759
N O X, which the ox
is part of the mark of the Beast

33
00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:54.680
in Thalima, right, it's the
phallus and the lady part and the X

34
00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:58.639
and the O fused together is what
they call the mark of the Beast.

35
00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:04.400
The beast is can or an amalgam
of a lot of different things. It's

36
00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:08.960
the alchemical Bapham, which looks a
lot like Pan. Pan also is related

37
00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:15.080
to the Bapham through the Goat of
Mendies, the cult of Mendies in Egypt,

38
00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:22.000
and he is related to the god
Men of Egypt. And you can

39
00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:32.240
always identify men by his uh hoots
on parts. Right, Yeah, it's

40
00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:40.360
very easy. You see what's going
on with men. But so in this

41
00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:46.240
night of Pan they call it in
Felima, and the Otos is a mystical

42
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:50.680
state that represents the state of ego
death and the process of spiritual attainment.

43
00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:58.479
Right. And then in the AA
they talk about, you know, getting

44
00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:00.400
in touch with your whole in Guardian
Angel and you have to cross the Abyss

45
00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:06.919
and you meet drowns on and to
escape the Abyss you have to pour out

46
00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:13.520
your blood in the cup of Babylon
and be reborn again from Babylon and Pan.

47
00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:21.079
So now that your initiate in these
Crowlean thelemic orders, you are a

48
00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:27.160
child of Pan. Right, Yeah, there's there are two parts in this

49
00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:30.680
book. This is just again this
is Lawrence Sutton's Life of Alister Crowley.

50
00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:34.399
I did a two parts stream on
this book. There are two parts that

51
00:04:34.439 --> 00:04:39.879
are pretty brief that talk about Pan. And one of course is of course,

52
00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:44.639
is talking about the hymn to Pan, which is Rabbit Crowley's as Crowley's

53
00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:53.040
eulogy at his funeral and in Hastings. But just briefly, it's talking about

54
00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:58.360
about the AA, the what's the
AA, the argentium astrom right, this

55
00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:02.399
the silver silver serpent, yeah,
which is in the remember that was in

56
00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:06.199
the ninth Gate also remember yeah,
yeah, when she had that tattoo.

57
00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:12.000
It talks about what it's talking about
the rights. This is about Victor Neuberg.

58
00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:15.879
This is when Crowley like went to
the desert with Victor Neuberg and horrify

59
00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:18.399
him. It says Norberg, in
turn, was assigned the draining task,

60
00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:26.199
an act of magical equal equilibration of
hurling himself into physical movements such as to

61
00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:29.160
dance down the gods, which is
similar to what you're talking about here,

62
00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:33.279
there was tragically a lasting cost to
pay, which one may attribute to the

63
00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:38.160
magical efficacy of the rights or to
the strength of Neuberg's belief in them as

64
00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:41.839
one likes. According to Neuburg,
during one performance of the Right of Luna's

65
00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:46.360
is the Right of Luna, Crowley
forgetfully, forgetfully failed to pronounce the words

66
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:50.800
to release Nouberg from his possession by
the lunar planetary spirit, and Nouberg tried

67
00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:56.199
to remedy the damage by later pronouncing
the words himself, but to no avail.

68
00:05:56.240 --> 00:05:58.879
This is when he drove the guy
crazy in the desert. And that's

69
00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:01.160
a really sad story too. In
reliance, Yeah, like he did to

70
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:05.560
that boy. Yes, And and
it talks about the also the rights of

71
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:12.560
a Lusis, which was flashed out
in August and September nineteen ten. AA

72
00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:16.560
membership was expanded with this, And
then this is leading into in the rights

73
00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:20.879
of pan The cup of Libation was
passed exclusively amongst the participant A members on

74
00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:25.560
stage. It's possible but not certain, that it contained peyote. And then

75
00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:31.399
it goes on to talk about Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, and then let's

76
00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:38.360
see on pitch two thirty four.
Here he talks about Oto and the two

77
00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:42.120
most memorable works of the summer where
the hymn depand and the gnostic mass that

78
00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:46.319
he created. So it is the
he composed this is his own poems to

79
00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:50.680
Pan tied him with Oto when he
was creating this gnostic mass, which is

80
00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:57.480
tied him with the what was the
one that he did at at Lochness,

81
00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:04.319
the the rights that he couldn't he
stopped in the middle of and that so

82
00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:10.959
it was remember he did he did
this mass in the middle of uh Lock

83
00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:14.639
his hall on Lockness, which burned
just a few years ago. And then

84
00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:18.879
they said, or somebody bought that
manner like Jimmy Yeah, it was Jimmy

85
00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:24.360
Page bought it. Jimmy Page bought
that. And he bought the Equinox bookstore

86
00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:28.800
and all of Crowley's esoteric all of
his as the largest book collection of Crowley's.

87
00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:32.279
He also owned Crowley's one of his
estates on the Thames outside of London.

88
00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:35.160
But but the house burned a few
years ago, and then of course

89
00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:43.360
they said Lockness was created. The
Lockness monster was a product of his of

90
00:07:43.399 --> 00:07:48.480
one of his gnostic masses. Yeah, I've heard that before. So and

91
00:07:48.600 --> 00:07:55.519
you mentioned Pompey last time, and
I found this picture of Pan from Pompey.

92
00:07:55.600 --> 00:07:59.560
Can you see that? Yeah,
pretty graphic him and a goat,

93
00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:07.079
yes, and that and actually that
ties in to Ovid, which because the

94
00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:11.240
book The Great God Pan and and
also what you were just talking about with

95
00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:18.839
the oto rights tie takes its cue
from Ovid's Metamorphosis, so in book one

96
00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:24.560
because because oh my god, there's
so much with this. So so the

97
00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:33.200
oto Oteo rights and the Great God
Pan led me to the poem by Elizabeth

98
00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:37.639
Barrett Browning which was about which is
about Pan walking along the banks of the

99
00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:46.440
river and then picking the reads and
and then that is from Ovid's Metamorphosis,

100
00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:52.399
and it's it's the hit. It's
the it's the myth where Pan is walking

101
00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:58.120
along and sees Syrinx and attempts to
r ape her, and then she turns

102
00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:01.919
into a read right in the river. So then that's where he gets his

103
00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:07.919
pan pipes. So so when he
plays the pan pipes, it's supposed to

104
00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:13.279
be a recreation of the myth of
his act of rape of Syrinx, and

105
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:16.799
so did he kill her? Then
in the well here she was a read.

106
00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:20.039
Did he chop her down and make
pipes out of her? Well,

107
00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:24.720
here's what it says. So it
says, it's I'll try to I'll try

108
00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:26.200
to paraphrase, because it's not that
long, but I'll try to paraphrase this

109
00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:31.519
this part, it says Mercury told
this story. This is in book one

110
00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:33.440
of Ovid. It says, in
the chill mountains of Arcadia E there lived

111
00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:37.039
a nymph, the most famous of
all the wood nymphs of Nana Chris.

112
00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:43.039
The other nymphs called her Syrinx.
Many a times she had eluded the pursuit

113
00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:46.480
of satyrs and other spirits who haunt
the shady woodlands of the fertile fields.

114
00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:50.159
She was a follower of the Ortygian
Goddess, imitating her in her pastimes and

115
00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:54.200
in her virtue too. When she
had her garments caught up out of the

116
00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:58.039
way for hunting, as Diana wears
hers, she could easily have been mistaken

117
00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:01.039
for Leto's daughter, save that her
bow was of horn, dianas of gold.

118
00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:03.879
And even in spite of this,
she used to be taken for the

119
00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:09.000
goddess. As she was returning from
Mount Lysias Pan caught sight of her,

120
00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:13.360
Pan, who wears on his head
a wreath of sharp leaved pine, and

121
00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:16.759
he spoke these words. Mercury still
had to tell what Pan said to the

122
00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:22.639
nymph. And now she, scorning
his prayers, ran off through the pathless

123
00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:26.279
forest till she came to the still
waters of sandy laid on. When the

124
00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:28.799
river halted her flight, she prayed
her sisters of the stream to transform her.

125
00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:31.720
And when Pan thought that he had
at last caught hold of searings,

126
00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:35.919
he found that instead of the nymph's
body, he held a handful of marsh

127
00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:41.200
reads. As he stood sighing,
the wind blew through the reeds and produced

128
00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:43.240
a thin, plaintive sound. The
god was enchanted by this new device,

129
00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:48.399
and by the sweetness of the music. You and I shall always talk together,

130
00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:50.480
so he cried. And then he
took reads of unequal length and fastened

131
00:10:50.519 --> 00:10:54.639
them together with wax. These preserved
the girl's name. So that's how he

132
00:10:54.720 --> 00:11:00.559
gets his pan pipe, by the
attempted rope of this nymph. Yeah,

133
00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:05.480
and who transforms. Oftentimes in the
myths, people will transform into various natural

134
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:09.519
objects of trees or whatever to escape, you know, a body harm or

135
00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:15.120
bodily justice. And then so Pan
recreates his you know, with playing the

136
00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:18.600
music, playing her as the music. Yeah, I was just gonna say,

137
00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:24.600
that's not the only story in Greek
mythology where like you said, they're

138
00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:28.559
trying to get away from the rape
of the gods, like especially Zeus,

139
00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:35.000
right, and they turn into a
bowl or something else, or even Medusa,

140
00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:37.480
you know, the snakeheaded lady.
She was just trying to avoid some

141
00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:43.399
non consensual intimacy, right, right, and that's how she got her snakeheads.

142
00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:46.720
So yeah, the pantheon is full
of perverts, right, sure,

143
00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:52.600
for sure. Yeah, And so
we're talking about Pan. He is the

144
00:11:52.519 --> 00:12:01.960
taker of innocence literally, right.
He represents virility for hundity in transformation.

145
00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:09.159
They call him both the giver and
taker of life, so he can be

146
00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:18.360
a like, you know, a
representation of abundant nature or nature that destroys

147
00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:24.360
like a storm, a flood or
whatever. He's all of it. He's

148
00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:28.039
all, yes, he's all.
And that's that's mentioned that's mentioned in the

149
00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:31.519
Great God Pan in the book as
well. There's a part of him being

150
00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:33.480
the giver and the taker, and
that's of course we're tie in with the

151
00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:37.559
Oto ritual right with the Yoni and
the and the Krawley and stuff. Yes,

152
00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:41.200
exactly, Yoni. Good word,
Okay, so let's get right into

153
00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:48.600
it. The Great God Pan This
was written in eighteen ninety and I it

154
00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:58.120
was kind of fun because it's like
it's written in the style of you know,

155
00:12:58.639 --> 00:13:05.639
antique Blair Witch project or something where
its found manuscripts and diaries and so

156
00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:09.960
found footage and plus a little narration
mixed together. But you really have to

157
00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:13.279
read closely and put all the clues
together to figure out who is what and

158
00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:18.080
what's going on. Yeah, you
do, especially with like the Latin epigraphs

159
00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:22.240
that are sort of sprinkled throughout.
And then you realize that by wanting to

160
00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:26.840
trans because they give you no translation, so by the act of translating it

161
00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:30.360
yourself, then you realize that you're
tied into the narrative and into the detection

162
00:13:30.440 --> 00:13:33.600
story. Good point. I did
go and translate it myself. I put

163
00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:41.320
all those Latin words in Google and
yeah, he got it. So Mockin

164
00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:46.600
the author of this, Arthur Mockin. HP Lovecraft admired him. Dar Alan

165
00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:50.200
Poe. He was good friends with
A. E. Waite of the famous

166
00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:54.679
Golden Dawn and the Tarot Deck.
He did not join the Golden Dawn,

167
00:13:54.799 --> 00:14:00.679
however, and this book is more
of a critique. Actually, I'm like

168
00:14:00.840 --> 00:14:05.720
the Libertine writers like Oscar Wilde and
well like that. Yeah, so he

169
00:14:05.759 --> 00:14:09.519
would be a contemporary of wild for
sure. I think he, Yeah,

170
00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:15.000
I think he. It's there's something
that's inherent in a lot of these Nights,

171
00:14:15.080 --> 00:14:18.840
especially in the Night late nineteenth century
writers, where they have a Poe

172
00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:22.320
sort of cadence to the way that
they write. I mean, Poe died

173
00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:26.399
in eighteen forty nine, but you
can see that even Poe takes his sort

174
00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:31.200
of cadence from like he's trying to
write formally, but he he'll reuse diction,

175
00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:35.919
you know, he'll he'll reuse specific
terms throughout stories. But but I

176
00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:39.240
see a lot of there's some of
William Wilson in this as well, which

177
00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:43.120
William Wilson is post short story about
a doppel a guy follows a guy around

178
00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:48.279
a city and like and literally meets
himself in the city, and and there's

179
00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:54.639
a lot of the the uh,
there's a lot of I don't know,

180
00:14:54.720 --> 00:15:01.320
phenomenological and phantasmagorical images in this that
are straight out of it even the way

181
00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:03.080
that he, you know, the
nineteenth century, you would write MS for

182
00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:09.360
manuscript I found, I found the
MS. Right yeah, yeah, yes,

183
00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:16.000
totally. So in this we're going
to see some platonic ideas of the

184
00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:22.279
spirit world beyond the veil, being
more real than the real world, right,

185
00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:26.480
yes, And we talked about that
last time. So uh, like

186
00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:33.360
you think of that old artwork of
the alchemist peering piercing the veil. He's

187
00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:35.080
got his head outside and his foot
in the mundane world, but he can

188
00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:39.200
see the whole galaxy. This is
what we're gonna be talking about in this

189
00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:45.879
book. So the world of the
phenomena that we can see. They're going

190
00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:48.679
to explain the first chapter that this
is a pale shadow of the world of

191
00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:54.240
ideas, right, and you can
transcend the world of shadows and directly access

192
00:15:54.399 --> 00:16:02.320
the world of ideas through certain magic
rituals. And doctor Raymond this is what

193
00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:07.600
he attempts to do through science,
what the ceremonial magician would try to be

194
00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:12.600
doing with magic circles and spells,
right, which is very nineteenth century right,

195
00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:15.799
hobably, Yeah, it's very much
propulous too, right, Yeah,

196
00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:18.679
tying in tying in science and the
occult and one thing, and you always

197
00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:22.679
get the scientists who want to experiment
with their own things. By the way,

198
00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:26.559
in this, you know, it's
it's like it's like in bram Stoker's

199
00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:30.080
Dracula, even in the book,
where you know the doctor is inside and

200
00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:32.919
he's like, well, I had
to give Renfield, you know, a

201
00:16:33.039 --> 00:16:37.039
strong magical dose of morphine, which
then I then administered to myself just for

202
00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:45.120
good measures. Yeah. So they're
trying to directly access this like neo platonic

203
00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:51.519
world, the one through the brain, through modification of the brain. And

204
00:16:51.919 --> 00:16:56.159
we're also going to see some Victorian
ideas of horror, which would be de

205
00:16:56.399 --> 00:17:03.919
evolution, so that when evolution was
just coming into its peak, right,

206
00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:11.039
and so the opposite of that would
be a horror devolving back into animal or

207
00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:17.759
amba or slime or muck right right, you know, like kafka or something,

208
00:17:17.839 --> 00:17:22.839
you know, going back into a
Yeah. So, yeah, these

209
00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:26.240
are letters and diaries and a little
bit of narrative. So let's get right

210
00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:30.240
in it. So it starts out
this young man, mister Clark, is

211
00:17:30.359 --> 00:17:36.519
visiting this old doctor, this old
scientist, right, and the old scientist

212
00:17:36.759 --> 00:17:41.279
is telling the young man, I
have been voted myself to transcendental medicine,

213
00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:45.880
right, and some people think I'm
a quack in a charlatan and an imposter,

214
00:17:47.200 --> 00:17:49.519
but he thinks he's on the right
path. So right away we have

215
00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:56.960
you know, doctor Frankenstein, yes, rot Wang. Who else archetype can

216
00:17:56.000 --> 00:18:00.519
you think of? Well, definitely
Frankenstein because this this is like a huge

217
00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:04.240
section of the Frankenstein novel because the
young man, you know, Victor Frankenstein,

218
00:18:04.279 --> 00:18:10.000
at the beginning, first he suffers
this traumatic shock of his mother dying,

219
00:18:10.200 --> 00:18:12.319
and then he goes and he's you
know, he's apprentice to this alchemist

220
00:18:14.039 --> 00:18:17.279
and he's learning that, you know, the secrets of the universe through alchemy,

221
00:18:17.559 --> 00:18:19.200
you know, but it's a it's
a secret. This is a secret

222
00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:22.839
knowledge and it's but it's tied.
It's sort of in the language of scientific

223
00:18:22.920 --> 00:18:29.359
research. And then he discovers electricity, and then he and then he starts

224
00:18:29.400 --> 00:18:33.240
playing there's a large section of the
book where he's he's playing around with uh

225
00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:37.319
in the morgue and he starts assembling
body parts. And when I did the

226
00:18:37.359 --> 00:18:42.119
analysis of that, I saw it
as you know, again, my my

227
00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:47.480
take with that whole novel was that
people people will often say, you know,

228
00:18:47.599 --> 00:18:49.559
like when you go to the Halloween
party and it's like, well,

229
00:18:49.599 --> 00:18:52.480
I'm Frankenstein and they're like, no, that was the doctor, you're the

230
00:18:52.559 --> 00:18:57.160
monster. But in the book it's
made clear to me that there's a fusion.

231
00:18:57.319 --> 00:19:00.200
There's first, there's a split,
so there's an elect he goes through

232
00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:04.319
a sort of electroshock therapy that he
administers on himself and he splits into this

233
00:19:04.480 --> 00:19:08.440
beast man that he then reassembles spiritually
and in terms of the body parts into

234
00:19:08.519 --> 00:19:14.440
this other creature. So the rest
of the novel has spent he has spent

235
00:19:14.759 --> 00:19:18.440
chasing himself. He's trying to find
his own psyche and and oftentimes in movies,

236
00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:21.480
you know, they'll show it that, you know, Frankenstein looks out

237
00:19:21.480 --> 00:19:23.039
the window and he's in the Arctic
and he sees a beast running, but

238
00:19:23.319 --> 00:19:27.079
you never see that with other There
are never other characters present when he does

239
00:19:27.160 --> 00:19:30.920
that. But it's like to me, it's like we're getting a mirror,

240
00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:33.400
you know, a window into himself
where for instance, when he kills people,

241
00:19:33.759 --> 00:19:37.880
he doesn't realize that it's just his
altar doing it. But suffice to

242
00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:40.839
say, how is it related to
this, Well, again, we have

243
00:19:40.960 --> 00:19:44.640
somebody who is you know, it's
the secret hidden knowledge, and it's tied

244
00:19:44.680 --> 00:19:47.720
in with science, and we're going
to find the We're going to find the

245
00:19:47.960 --> 00:19:52.680
secrets to the universe through this revealed
through the newest, you know, scientific

246
00:19:52.799 --> 00:19:56.400
methods. And one thing, not
to give anything away with this, but

247
00:19:56.480 --> 00:20:00.960
one thing that I really like about
this book is that it sort of plays

248
00:20:02.200 --> 00:20:06.279
it plays on what is truly horrific. One is the unknown, you know,

249
00:20:06.440 --> 00:20:10.799
and the and this and this sort
of spiritual element of encountering something in

250
00:20:10.920 --> 00:20:14.079
the you know, I mean,
he mentions the abyss many times in this

251
00:20:14.240 --> 00:20:18.559
you know, encountering an other.
And the other is the just the look

252
00:20:18.680 --> 00:20:22.160
on a person's face when they've encountered
such a thing. So we don't need

253
00:20:22.319 --> 00:20:25.960
extraneous elements to deal with that.
We just see the look of shock on

254
00:20:26.039 --> 00:20:30.559
the person's face and that's enough to
horrify the onlookers in the book. And

255
00:20:30.119 --> 00:20:37.559
at the end of chapter one,
that's exactly what happened. So the look

256
00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:40.559
on her face was yes, terrifying, right, Yes, yes, he

257
00:20:40.680 --> 00:20:42.640
says, yes, said the doctor. It's a great it's a great pity.

258
00:20:42.920 --> 00:20:48.680
She is a hopeless idiot. Yes, however, it could not be

259
00:20:48.799 --> 00:20:52.240
helped. And after all, she
has seen the great God pan right,

260
00:20:52.559 --> 00:20:56.599
So part of this is madness,
just like when you see the abyss or

261
00:20:56.839 --> 00:21:03.039
when you do these magic Ritchell's like
you're talking about and you do it incorrectly,

262
00:21:03.799 --> 00:21:10.279
you can lose your mind. So
and this is all having to do

263
00:21:10.799 --> 00:21:15.279
with the ideas of the matrix.
Also, like, because they're talking about

264
00:21:15.319 --> 00:21:21.279
the real world, is just this
matrix that we can manipulate, Like Neo,

265
00:21:21.960 --> 00:21:26.319
if we can pierce the veil and
see the god pant, Yeah,

266
00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:30.839
if you could break on through to
the other side man exactly. And so

267
00:21:32.119 --> 00:21:37.119
he does this uh proscedure. He
says, A slight lesion in the gray

268
00:21:37.200 --> 00:21:41.160
matter, that is all. Oh, and let's not forget the person that

269
00:21:41.319 --> 00:21:47.799
he is experimenting on is his servant
girl of course, right, an orphan

270
00:21:47.960 --> 00:21:52.400
who he raised in his household.
So he thinks that he can do whatever

271
00:21:52.559 --> 00:21:56.240
he pleases with her anatomy. So
he says, a slight lesion in the

272
00:21:56.279 --> 00:22:02.519
gray matter is all a trifling rearrangement
of certain cell a microscopial alteration that would

273
00:22:02.599 --> 00:22:06.400
escape the attention of ninety nine brain
specialists out of a hundred, so we're

274
00:22:06.480 --> 00:22:12.480
already getting into like Monarch and Kaletra
stuff. Yes, slitting the psyche.

275
00:22:14.160 --> 00:22:18.400
Also, that reminds me of doctor
Jacqueline mister Hyde. So the type of

276
00:22:19.759 --> 00:22:26.599
psychic fractures are older than even World
War Two. Yeah, it's in Doctor

277
00:22:26.680 --> 00:22:30.720
Jacquelin mister Hyde. I can't help
but think that that Lewis Jolly and West

278
00:22:30.839 --> 00:22:33.400
read this book and was like,
oh, yeah, this is it,

279
00:22:33.599 --> 00:22:37.720
baby, this is what I want
to do. Nor McDonald had a good

280
00:22:37.759 --> 00:22:41.000
joke about the guy who invented the
lobotomy where he said that this great scientific

281
00:22:41.079 --> 00:22:45.759
hero died a hundred you know,
one hundred years ago today he invented a

282
00:22:45.759 --> 00:22:49.920
procedure where he made a slight slit
into the gray matter and scrambled the brains.

283
00:22:51.079 --> 00:22:53.599
He'll be sorely missed, right,
Yeah, this guy's a total monster

284
00:22:55.839 --> 00:22:59.119
and you certainly see that. Yeah, like we said in Frankenstein and Doctor

285
00:22:59.200 --> 00:23:03.160
Jacquelin mister Hyde, and I was
just I just did this chaos stream about

286
00:23:03.200 --> 00:23:08.079
Cia and Charles Manson where Lewis Jolly
and West is Tom O'Neil sort of implies

287
00:23:08.319 --> 00:23:12.680
that it's Lewis Jolly and West who
did these experiments on the ones that we

288
00:23:12.799 --> 00:23:17.039
know about, right, which is
like when he met with Jack Ruby and

289
00:23:17.200 --> 00:23:22.799
and and and Charlie Charlie Manson,
but also with these other characters like this

290
00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:26.839
guy Jimmy Shaver who had done this
horrible thing to a well, he'd done

291
00:23:26.839 --> 00:23:30.279
a horrible thing on a at Lackland
Air Force Base. And it turns out

292
00:23:30.279 --> 00:23:33.039
that he had probably been a patient
of Lewis Jolly and West before that,

293
00:23:33.240 --> 00:23:38.519
even though they bring in Jolly and
West to to check him out psychologically afterwards,

294
00:23:38.559 --> 00:23:41.359
and then they look for the files
and his last name Shaver, and

295
00:23:41.440 --> 00:23:47.559
the s files are seemed to be
missing. So right, there's a great

296
00:23:47.599 --> 00:23:49.160
I just want to point out on
page four, like the language of this

297
00:23:49.279 --> 00:23:53.839
is really great because on page four
there's he sort of mentioned he has a

298
00:23:53.920 --> 00:23:57.799
way of mixing Shakespeare and later Crowley. You know Crowley would read this and

299
00:23:57.880 --> 00:24:00.759
this is Crowley's and well I think
there was a coded name for him in

300
00:24:00.839 --> 00:24:03.279
this. In a couple of minutes, all I'll see if you three with

301
00:24:03.400 --> 00:24:15.000
me, Al Cowley, yes,
Oswald Prois, oh oh of course,

302
00:24:15.359 --> 00:24:18.799
yeah, yeah, no, he
Crowley did have I mean he had a

303
00:24:18.880 --> 00:24:25.119
number of names, right, Pertabo
master Theian. But I feel like Oswald

304
00:24:25.240 --> 00:24:29.039
was one of them. And also
I can picture him writing his you know,

305
00:24:29.079 --> 00:24:32.960
he always had like phallic and yoni
signatures, and his pervert signature,

306
00:24:33.039 --> 00:24:34.759
and his the way he wold his
name. But on page four here it

307
00:24:34.799 --> 00:24:38.440
says it's people should read this book. It's very short. It says,

308
00:24:40.759 --> 00:24:42.480
I stood here one evening. It
was a summer evening in the valley looked

309
00:24:42.599 --> 00:24:45.839
much as it does now. It's
the bottom of page four. I stood

310
00:24:45.880 --> 00:24:51.440
here and saw before me the unutterable, the unthinkable gulf that yawns profound between

311
00:24:51.519 --> 00:24:55.279
two worlds, the world of matter
and the world of spirit. I saw

312
00:24:55.400 --> 00:24:57.880
the great, empty, deep stretch
dim before me, and in that instant

313
00:24:57.920 --> 00:25:02.400
a bridge of light left from the
earth to the unknown shore, and the

314
00:25:02.480 --> 00:25:06.279
Abyss was spanned. Yeah, that's
that's Meltonian. I mean, that's Meltonian

315
00:25:06.319 --> 00:25:10.799
language. That's crossing the Abyss.
And then later with Crowley talking about meeting

316
00:25:10.880 --> 00:25:18.640
Quranson, Yes, and later on
it's going to connect to Nodens. The

317
00:25:18.720 --> 00:25:21.200
gotta be abyss, right, right, that's is that the goat? Is

318
00:25:21.279 --> 00:25:23.200
that the goatman you talked about last
week? The goat fish. No,

319
00:25:23.359 --> 00:25:30.960
that's Capricorn. Oh yeah, that
gave me the creepy So Nodens is known

320
00:25:30.039 --> 00:25:36.000
for his lightning flash and what I
got in my mental imagery when he was

321
00:25:36.440 --> 00:25:42.720
talking about that is the synopsis between
brain cells use electricity to communicate and fire

322
00:25:42.759 --> 00:25:47.640
to you know what I mean.
So what he's seen is a great expanse.

323
00:25:47.799 --> 00:25:55.200
It could be a giant brain with
the electrical impulses going between synapsis and

324
00:25:55.519 --> 00:25:59.200
connecting those and that's what he thinks
he's going to do with this operation.

325
00:25:59.599 --> 00:26:03.960
Yeah, and you're you're so right
page six of the book. You see

326
00:26:03.039 --> 00:26:10.720
that parchment Oswald Crollius. Yeah,
and then he says, but to justify

327
00:26:10.839 --> 00:26:14.359
that that it's not just a random
name thrown in because inevitably somebody will say,

328
00:26:14.400 --> 00:26:17.640
well, what's that evenue with Crowley. No, he says he was

329
00:26:17.680 --> 00:26:19.759
one of the first to show me
the way, although I don't think he

330
00:26:19.839 --> 00:26:23.039
ever found it himself. That is
a strange saying of his. In every

331
00:26:23.119 --> 00:26:26.039
grain of wheat there lies hidden the
soul of a star, which is like

332
00:26:26.200 --> 00:26:30.599
every man and every woman is a
star exactly. That's great. Wow,

333
00:26:30.680 --> 00:26:37.440
that's good find. So doctor Raymond, the Mad Scientists has invited this young

334
00:26:37.559 --> 00:26:41.559
man named mister Clark to witness this
brain surgery. Doctor Raymond fancies himself like

335
00:26:41.680 --> 00:26:49.799
a sort of pioneer, really a
psychonaut, delving into the abyss of gray

336
00:26:49.839 --> 00:26:55.400
matter and nerve cells in the brain. And he talks about He says,

337
00:26:55.400 --> 00:26:59.200
I'm perfectly instructed as to the possible
functions of those nerve centers. With a

338
00:26:59.279 --> 00:27:02.720
touch, I can say I can
set free the current. With a touch,

339
00:27:02.759 --> 00:27:08.119
I can complete the communication between this
world of sense and dot dot dot.

340
00:27:10.759 --> 00:27:18.839
So he's already talking about manipulating uh, your perception of this world and

341
00:27:18.960 --> 00:27:26.359
the spirit world by brain surgery,
right right, which yeah, which is

342
00:27:26.359 --> 00:27:30.240
a lot like I mean, Jay
and I did Wizard of Oz and returned

343
00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:33.519
to Oz, and it seems like
returned to Oz especially is like a metaphor.

344
00:27:33.799 --> 00:27:37.759
Uses that as a kind of metaphor, like the lightning storm is the

345
00:27:37.839 --> 00:27:40.480
electric shock table that they put her
on at the beginning, we see like

346
00:27:40.960 --> 00:27:45.519
lightning flashes. They're manipulating the brain
going into another world, piercing the veil.

347
00:27:45.720 --> 00:27:51.440
Good point, and so he says, it will leve level utterly the

348
00:27:51.559 --> 00:27:53.599
solid wall of sense and probably for
the first time since man was made a

349
00:27:53.599 --> 00:27:59.519
spirit will gaze on a spirit world, Clark, Mary will see the god

350
00:27:59.680 --> 00:28:03.079
pain. And then this is so
weird. I don't know if you caught

351
00:28:03.119 --> 00:28:07.000
this, but the next sentence right
after that, it says Clark is talking

352
00:28:07.079 --> 00:28:10.880
to doctor Raymond, and Clark says, but you remember what you wrote to

353
00:28:10.960 --> 00:28:18.359
me. I thought it would be
requisite that she and he stops and he

354
00:28:18.559 --> 00:28:22.880
whispered the rest into the doctor's ear, and they never go back, or

355
00:28:22.920 --> 00:28:27.759
they never say what was the requisite
that she I don't know if they're talking

356
00:28:27.759 --> 00:28:33.319
about her being a virgin or something. Yeah, I suppose that would be

357
00:28:33.359 --> 00:28:38.319
it, right, So he says, the doctor says, oh, never

358
00:28:38.400 --> 00:28:41.440
mind about that. It's better as
it is. I'm certain of that.

359
00:28:41.680 --> 00:28:48.079
So this might be a clue when
it comes out later that we'll get to

360
00:28:48.160 --> 00:28:52.279
that, okay, So just keep
that in your mind, right, because

361
00:28:52.279 --> 00:28:56.480
you never explained that. And then
he talks about how he rescued this girl

362
00:28:56.559 --> 00:29:00.559
from the gutter from certain starvation when
she was a child. I think her

363
00:29:00.640 --> 00:29:04.640
life is mine to use as icy
fits. So there is his uh moral

364
00:29:04.720 --> 00:29:07.799
compass right there, right, and
which, by the way, ties into

365
00:29:07.920 --> 00:29:15.240
Peter Pan right, because we're talking
about orphans and Peter Pan chasing his own

366
00:29:15.279 --> 00:29:21.119
shadow, flying, flying from one
from the flying from the I guess you

367
00:29:21.160 --> 00:29:26.599
could say the figurative world of Neverland
or the other world across the ocean back

368
00:29:26.799 --> 00:29:30.880
into you know, the big smoke
London through the window and then chasing his

369
00:29:30.960 --> 00:29:33.559
own shadow. And he's an orphan
And that ties in with I mean Hook,

370
00:29:34.240 --> 00:29:38.559
which we're gonna talk about. I
know it plays a big that's a

371
00:29:38.680 --> 00:29:45.200
major part of the motif in that
film. Yeah, the orphanage. So

372
00:29:47.039 --> 00:29:52.440
they do talk about that the operating
table was a stone slab, like how

373
00:29:52.960 --> 00:30:00.279
horrific yet right, right, And
then when the doctor's mixing toget the anesthesia

374
00:30:00.359 --> 00:30:08.000
or whatever it's gave this like super
odd odor that reminded Clark of a encounter

375
00:30:08.160 --> 00:30:11.319
that he had with the Devil or
with Pan when he was young. So

376
00:30:11.839 --> 00:30:18.960
here's the theme that Pan is a
generational thing because Peter Pan comes to visit

377
00:30:19.039 --> 00:30:26.079
you generation after generation, right,
yes, And Hook said, remember Hook

378
00:30:26.160 --> 00:30:30.559
says, Captain Hook says that I'm
going to keep coming back to you generation

379
00:30:30.720 --> 00:30:33.759
after generation, to all of your
children. Yeah, if you go to

380
00:30:33.880 --> 00:30:38.599
the doctor's office and you smell listen, folks, I went to the doctor's

381
00:30:38.640 --> 00:30:42.119
office. I smelled sulfur and brimstone. It was terrible. I said to

382
00:30:42.200 --> 00:30:45.559
myself, Why is my doctor putting
me on a stone slab with spirals all

383
00:30:45.599 --> 00:30:49.039
around? It's very strange, it's
very odd. Yeah, maybe that's not

384
00:30:49.200 --> 00:30:52.640
the right doctor. Oh I forgot. We're going to talk about Panslaver and

385
00:30:52.720 --> 00:30:56.680
tonight. Yeah. Yeah, because
the same thing occurs in that. Yes,

386
00:30:56.400 --> 00:31:02.559
yes, so Clark. He passes
out because of the smell of the

387
00:31:03.279 --> 00:31:07.160
like chemicals, and he dreams of
the day that he met Pan, when

388
00:31:07.200 --> 00:31:15.839
the temperature was so tropical, and
he dreamt of a moment in time he

389
00:31:15.880 --> 00:31:18.440
stood face to face with a presence. It was neither man nor beast,

390
00:31:18.559 --> 00:31:23.400
neither neither living nor dead, but
all things mingled, the form of all

391
00:31:23.480 --> 00:31:27.480
things, but devoid of all form. And in that moment the sacrament of

392
00:31:27.559 --> 00:31:30.799
body and soul was dissolved, and
a voice seemed to cry, let us

393
00:31:30.880 --> 00:31:34.079
go. Hence, and then the
darkness of darkness beyond the stars, the

394
00:31:34.200 --> 00:31:42.240
darkness of everlasting. So their clear
night of Pan. Right, yeah,

395
00:31:42.359 --> 00:31:47.200
he is this where he ends up
on the bottom of page eight, there's

396
00:31:47.279 --> 00:31:51.000
this great part where he says,
I turn on Mike little he says,

397
00:31:52.680 --> 00:31:55.240
and the wood. I know you've
gotten this part. But Clark, in

398
00:31:55.279 --> 00:31:56.799
the deep folds of dream, was
conscious that the path from his father's house

399
00:31:56.880 --> 00:32:01.039
had led him to an undiscovered the
undiscovered country. So when he says the

400
00:32:01.079 --> 00:32:07.559
undiscovered country, that's that's a hamlet
reference from from Once No Traveler Returns.

401
00:32:07.599 --> 00:32:13.400
He's talking about death there undiscovered country, and he was so, but continuously

402
00:32:13.440 --> 00:32:16.920
in this it's the metaphor that you
see Pan at the moment of ecstasy before

403
00:32:17.039 --> 00:32:20.680
death, and then you go into
the great beyond of death, which is

404
00:32:20.759 --> 00:32:25.079
the shimmering abyss of hell. I
suppose in this, when suddenly, in

405
00:32:25.200 --> 00:32:29.599
place of the hum and murmur of
the summer, an infinite silence seemed to

406
00:32:29.640 --> 00:32:31.119
fall on all things in the wood
was hushed. Course, it's the wood,

407
00:32:31.119 --> 00:32:34.960
because Pan lives in the wood.
And for a moment in time he

408
00:32:35.079 --> 00:32:37.920
stood face to face there with a
presence that was neither man nor beast,

409
00:32:38.119 --> 00:32:43.720
neither the living nor dead, but
all all all things, mingled the form

410
00:32:43.799 --> 00:32:46.799
of all things, but devoid of
all form. And in that moment the

411
00:32:46.960 --> 00:32:51.559
sacrament of body and soul was dissolved, and the voice seemed to cry,

412
00:32:51.640 --> 00:32:52.519
let us go hence. Yeah,
that's that's great. Yeah, you just

413
00:32:52.599 --> 00:32:59.720
read the part about let us go
hence and it gives way to the most

414
00:32:59.839 --> 00:33:07.039
awful terror. M god. Yeah. So he brings the girl in for

415
00:33:07.160 --> 00:33:13.000
the procedure, and Clark is waking
up from his vision. Yeah, and

416
00:33:13.279 --> 00:33:16.200
he brings around her. Name's Mary, of course, yeah right, virgin

417
00:33:16.240 --> 00:33:22.519
Mary. Yeah, but maybe not. And then he the doctor's like,

418
00:33:22.599 --> 00:33:24.279
are you willing to trust yourself to
me entirely? And she says, oh,

419
00:33:24.400 --> 00:33:28.720
yes, of course, give me
a kiss before you begin, and

420
00:33:29.079 --> 00:33:32.599
so the doctor kisses her. So
this is weird, weird stuff going on

421
00:33:32.920 --> 00:33:40.880
between Mary and old psychonaut doctor.
Yes, this this reminds me of have

422
00:33:40.960 --> 00:33:46.400
you seen that movie A Dangerous Method? David Cronenberg. It's about Freud and

423
00:33:46.519 --> 00:33:52.680
Young and their relationship with each other. Viggo Mortenson and Michael Fassbender and Michael

424
00:33:52.680 --> 00:33:55.160
Fastbender gets this patient who's Kia Knightly
and she's like this, she's like a

425
00:33:55.279 --> 00:34:02.039
schizophrenic orphan and he ends up doing
pervert things. What's it called. It's

426
00:34:02.079 --> 00:34:07.640
called A Dangerous Method. Okay,
it's pretty good film. I mean it's

427
00:34:07.680 --> 00:34:12.079
a it's a you know, the
whole thing centers around his perversion with this

428
00:34:13.119 --> 00:34:15.559
this patient of his. But he's
like, oh, you know, it's

429
00:34:15.599 --> 00:34:19.480
therapeutics that I enact the things that
she wants me to enact. Yeah,

430
00:34:21.079 --> 00:34:27.960
like some Kinsey therapy, right,
right, So yeah, he puts her

431
00:34:28.000 --> 00:34:30.000
asleep. It says she crosses her
arms on her breast like a little child

432
00:34:30.039 --> 00:34:37.519
about to say her prayers. So
this is also an esoteric thelemic mm HMMA

433
00:34:37.719 --> 00:34:45.119
virus. Right. Yeah, I
just realized also that Wendy is Mary,

434
00:34:45.320 --> 00:34:50.880
right, She's Wendy Moira. What's
her name, Wendy, Wendy Moiler Angela

435
00:34:51.000 --> 00:34:53.440
Darli Right, Moira is a Irish
form of Mary. Oh is it?

436
00:34:53.840 --> 00:34:57.920
Yeah? Oh? Okay? And
yeah, because when we talk about Peter

437
00:34:58.000 --> 00:35:00.480
Pan and Wendy the twenty twenty three
one, this was all about her.

438
00:35:00.719 --> 00:35:05.559
Really, this is all about her
coming of age, Yeah, her awakening,

439
00:35:06.000 --> 00:35:09.159
and that's really when Pan goes for
you, is when you blossom into

440
00:35:09.360 --> 00:35:12.639
a woman. Yeah. I got
a lot of things to say about that

441
00:35:12.760 --> 00:35:17.880
one. So so they do this
procedure on for Mary, the servant girl,

442
00:35:19.199 --> 00:35:28.079
the little gutter snipe that he rescued
from Victorian England. And I'm here,

443
00:35:28.440 --> 00:35:30.519
I'm here to rescue you. Yeah, it's gonna be great. I'm

444
00:35:30.519 --> 00:35:36.960
gonna give you a good life.
A stone slab just totally scramble your brains

445
00:35:37.000 --> 00:35:42.360
for a second. So it works. And when they come back to see

446
00:35:42.440 --> 00:35:45.679
her, it says she's lying wide
awake, rolling her head from side to

447
00:35:45.760 --> 00:35:52.760
sign, grinning vacantly and looking like
just a terror. I mean that gave

448
00:35:52.800 --> 00:35:59.039
me a chill, Actually it was. The old stuff is a lot scarier

449
00:35:59.159 --> 00:36:02.280
sometimes than the new. It is, yes, because again there's no extraneous

450
00:36:04.480 --> 00:36:08.000
it's all about the imagery, like
the simple imagery, and the psychology,

451
00:36:08.199 --> 00:36:12.199
well not not in terms of psychological
terms, but in terms of like what

452
00:36:12.360 --> 00:36:17.000
your brain is is seeing as you're
engulfed into the narrative because we're again.

453
00:36:17.079 --> 00:36:20.360
One of the things about this is
that even though it's a kind of a

454
00:36:20.440 --> 00:36:23.800
disparate narrative, like they're various voices
and we're finding things, the reader is

455
00:36:23.840 --> 00:36:28.400
brought along into finding these like various
artifacts, as if we're the detective,

456
00:36:28.519 --> 00:36:30.280
so that when you come across them, you're led into this place where you

457
00:36:30.320 --> 00:36:32.199
want to see what's around the corner, and then when you see it,

458
00:36:32.280 --> 00:36:39.719
you're oh my god, yes,
yes it is it's worse. So it

459
00:36:39.840 --> 00:36:44.920
worked, and it said it is
a great pity. She is a hopeless

460
00:36:44.960 --> 00:36:47.639
idiot. However it could not be
helped. And after all she has seen

461
00:36:47.679 --> 00:36:53.400
the great God pants right, So
poor Mary, that was her fate h

462
00:36:54.719 --> 00:37:00.840
turning into a grinning crazy Do you
remember that movie The People on the Stairs

463
00:37:01.440 --> 00:37:08.079
and that the lady they had to
take care of it. It reminded me

464
00:37:08.199 --> 00:37:10.920
of there's a lot of the Ripper
in this. There's a lot of Jack

465
00:37:10.960 --> 00:37:15.159
the Ripper in this because he mentions
eighteen eighty eight and there's a white chapel.

466
00:37:15.199 --> 00:37:17.360
He mentions that if I think it's
three different references in this book too,

467
00:37:19.000 --> 00:37:22.840
Ripper. But I remember at the
end of From Hell or and No

468
00:37:22.000 --> 00:37:27.119
midway through, when you know Ian
Holme is doing the the lobotomy on the

469
00:37:27.199 --> 00:37:31.000
girl, and she's the girl that
has seen who the Ripper really, so

470
00:37:31.119 --> 00:37:35.920
she's in a sense she's seen the
same thing. She has seen, this

471
00:37:36.159 --> 00:37:39.119
hellish version. That's what he wants
to enact as this Masonic you know ritual

472
00:37:39.239 --> 00:37:45.840
where she's like meeting her her fate
and he is the agent of fate here,

473
00:37:45.679 --> 00:37:50.719
right, and then he lobotis,
lobotomizes her, So she's stuck there

474
00:37:50.760 --> 00:37:54.280
forever and she's like this whimpering idiot
left in the a bail and all the

475
00:37:54.320 --> 00:37:59.440
scientists are like, oh, very
good. Yeah yeah, don't an old

476
00:37:59.559 --> 00:38:07.880
chap as you've done it, We're
gonna oh okay. So chapter two is

477
00:38:07.880 --> 00:38:10.960
all about mister Clark in his past. So he had a vision of Pan

478
00:38:12.039 --> 00:38:15.079
in the childhood. Now he's obsessed
with stories about the devil and he tries

479
00:38:15.239 --> 00:38:22.280
to stop himself, but he just
cannot keep himself from collecting all of these

480
00:38:22.440 --> 00:38:30.360
accounts of people seeing the Devil or
Pan. And one of the stories that

481
00:38:30.519 --> 00:38:37.719
he has in his collection is about
a girl named Helen V. So Helen

482
00:38:37.800 --> 00:38:45.159
V was It just jumps into like
another story and you have no idea how

483
00:38:45.280 --> 00:38:49.480
this connects to what just happened with
the Mary and the lobotomy, right right,

484
00:38:49.840 --> 00:38:53.320
But so now you're reading the story
about Helen V. Who showed up

485
00:38:53.400 --> 00:39:00.639
in a village under peculiar circumstances and
was given to some a off to parents

486
00:39:00.719 --> 00:39:04.880
to raise when she became of age
because they wanted to socialize her, right

487
00:39:05.639 --> 00:39:10.960
right, So they gave her to
some foster parents, and weird things start

488
00:39:12.039 --> 00:39:16.039
happening in this village. One was
a little boy sees Helen V in the

489
00:39:16.119 --> 00:39:22.280
woods with a man, and he
what he saw caused him to have a

490
00:39:22.320 --> 00:39:28.639
nervous breakdown. Right, the little
boy, yeah, yeah, he was

491
00:39:28.719 --> 00:39:32.760
horrified at hearing the most dreadful screams, evidently the results of a great terror.

492
00:39:34.920 --> 00:39:37.519
The little boy was running headlong,
was evidently terribly frightened, And on

493
00:39:37.639 --> 00:39:40.840
questioning him, the man elicited that
after picking a posy of flowers, he

494
00:39:40.960 --> 00:39:45.320
felt tired and laid down on the
grass and fell asleep, and he's playing

495
00:39:45.320 --> 00:39:47.440
on Helen V. Was playing on
the grass with a strange naked man.

496
00:39:49.199 --> 00:39:52.280
He said, he felt dreadfully frightened
and ran away, crying for his father,

497
00:39:52.480 --> 00:39:57.159
Joseph. Joseph Dubbs proceeded in the
direction indicated by his son and found

498
00:39:57.199 --> 00:39:59.320
Helen V. Sitting on the grass
in the middle of a glade or open

499
00:39:59.360 --> 00:40:04.480
space left by charcoal burners. And
then it was a strange man. And

500
00:40:04.559 --> 00:40:07.079
then the bottom of that paragraph.
He became nervous and strange in his manner,

501
00:40:07.119 --> 00:40:10.199
refusing to leave the cottage by himself, and constantly alarming the household by

502
00:40:10.239 --> 00:40:14.480
waking in the night with cries of
the man in the wood, father father,

503
00:40:14.679 --> 00:40:19.239
Oh my gosh. Yeah, so
this is kind of like the Village

504
00:40:19.320 --> 00:40:28.599
era, right, Yes, And
what Helen b does is goes out all

505
00:40:28.719 --> 00:40:31.639
day long and stays in the woods
and comes back, you know, at

506
00:40:31.719 --> 00:40:36.639
dark. And that's all she does. And a person who gave her to

507
00:40:36.719 --> 00:40:38.440
the foster parents said, just let
her do whatever she wants and I'll pay

508
00:40:38.480 --> 00:40:44.280
you handsomely to just you know,
house her. Yeah, this is like

509
00:40:44.519 --> 00:40:49.719
it's like, it's like the Village. It's like the Crucible at the beginning

510
00:40:49.719 --> 00:40:57.760
of the Crucible because the whole story
starts because the town puritan preacher is walking

511
00:40:57.800 --> 00:41:01.079
along looking for he's looking for his
girl that he took in, who is

512
00:41:01.199 --> 00:41:07.599
his niece that he like, there's
a lot of innuendo in it, and

513
00:41:07.840 --> 00:41:10.119
he is watching her from the bushes
and she's with the group of women and

514
00:41:10.159 --> 00:41:14.840
then they see, you know,
they see him with Tituba Tituba from Barbados,

515
00:41:15.159 --> 00:41:17.199
and she's cutting the chicken and rubbing
blood all over themselves and then they're

516
00:41:17.239 --> 00:41:22.119
dancing over a magic circle and then
over the over the fire and then when

517
00:41:22.159 --> 00:41:25.559
he catches her, then she goes
catatonic. That it's also the same By

518
00:41:25.559 --> 00:41:30.639
the way, I just rewatched The
Witch and which has which has a pan

519
00:41:30.920 --> 00:41:35.800
black Philip goat figure in it who
turns into Lucifer. And there's a scene

520
00:41:35.840 --> 00:41:40.760
in that where the father says,
we got to get well, what's the

521
00:41:40.960 --> 00:41:45.119
what's the girl's name in it?
We have to get her, he says,

522
00:41:45.159 --> 00:41:47.000
we have to get her out of
here. We have to get her.

523
00:41:47.039 --> 00:41:50.280
We have to hire her out to
one of the other families in town.

524
00:41:50.360 --> 00:41:52.320
They'll take care of her. So
it's like, again, you're gonna

525
00:41:52.320 --> 00:41:55.679
have this this girl who's like good, They're gonna sort of orphan her and

526
00:41:55.760 --> 00:42:01.440
then sell her to another group because
of the horror that she's witnessing, which

527
00:42:01.480 --> 00:42:05.639
is after the baby gets taken in
the Witch. So it's sort of the

528
00:42:05.719 --> 00:42:08.079
same. It's the same thing.
You go out in the woods, you

529
00:42:08.199 --> 00:42:14.639
see the pan satan figure in the
woods playing around with the witches and taking

530
00:42:14.719 --> 00:42:17.559
people. You get horrified, and
then you sell the kids off. I

531
00:42:17.599 --> 00:42:24.239
suppose what I like those movies because
part of the horror is just how they

532
00:42:24.320 --> 00:42:29.960
had to survive back then, right, just how like Bare Bones you had

533
00:42:30.000 --> 00:42:34.480
to chop down the trees to make
your house and just yeah, in the

534
00:42:34.599 --> 00:42:38.920
cold winter, and it just adds
a whole layer of horror and uncomfortability to

535
00:42:39.079 --> 00:42:43.800
it. It does. And also
because especially the Puritan ones, it's like

536
00:42:44.400 --> 00:42:49.960
the beginning of the move of the
Witch's he's too Puritan for the Puritan government

537
00:42:50.079 --> 00:42:52.039
group in the town. He's like, you, no, you're not doing

538
00:42:52.119 --> 00:42:57.199
it right. We've come across the
ocean and we didn't like how you did

539
00:42:57.239 --> 00:42:59.199
it, So we're going to go
out on our own, right. But

540
00:42:59.320 --> 00:43:02.519
the woods is where the devil lives
for them, and so they're already they're

541
00:43:02.559 --> 00:43:08.039
already oppressed by the fact that like
they're they're it's like they're a mini cult

542
00:43:08.159 --> 00:43:14.800
within themselves, right, Yeah,
cult within a cult. And how alstra

543
00:43:14.880 --> 00:43:20.159
Parli's dad was because he was a
plymouth Brethren's right, so weird culty pilgrim

544
00:43:20.400 --> 00:43:25.840
people. Yeah, nothing is ever
pure enough for that. Yeah. They

545
00:43:25.920 --> 00:43:29.280
needed to just come down here to
Virginia, all right. It would have

546
00:43:29.280 --> 00:43:30.320
been a lot it would have been
a lot different, you know, down

547
00:43:30.360 --> 00:43:34.519
here in Virginia in Jamestown, right, They it was all about they were

548
00:43:34.559 --> 00:43:37.519
making money, right, they're working
for the Virginia Company. And then they

549
00:43:37.599 --> 00:43:39.480
all started cannibalizing each other because they
could they were like, you know,

550
00:43:39.559 --> 00:43:42.920
what, what are we gonna do? You know, the city engines,

551
00:43:43.280 --> 00:43:47.360
And then John Smith got here and
said, look, you people are perverted,

552
00:43:47.400 --> 00:43:50.440
like this is freaky. All right, Look here's how it's gonna be.

553
00:43:50.519 --> 00:43:52.719
Don't if you don't work, then
you don't eat and everything else.

554
00:43:52.840 --> 00:43:57.440
We're just gonna survive and make our
stuff. We're not going to be We're

555
00:43:57.440 --> 00:44:00.239
not going to be culty out here, right, there's not gonna be any

556
00:44:00.360 --> 00:44:04.119
like going out into the woods.
And you're more hardcore than the rest of

557
00:44:04.199 --> 00:44:06.960
us. You're gonna stay within the
limits of the town and we're gonna you

558
00:44:07.000 --> 00:44:12.239
know. But what's interesting too about
this book is like it's on the cusp

559
00:44:12.360 --> 00:44:20.320
of like the scientific revolutions and going
away from spiritualism to materialism and just stark

560
00:44:20.480 --> 00:44:27.760
like what you can see is matter
and that's it. But already we're marrying

561
00:44:30.599 --> 00:44:39.519
technology to black magic and devil and
also like nature worship, right right,

562
00:44:42.480 --> 00:44:45.920
I guess and Helen she's called Helen, I guess how she feeling like,

563
00:44:46.079 --> 00:44:52.440
I suppose she's like Helen of Troy. So so Helen is taken from Agamemnon

564
00:44:52.519 --> 00:44:57.840
and taken to Troy, right where
she's sort of worshiped like a goddess and

565
00:44:58.039 --> 00:45:04.360
is the cause of war. So
that gets transposed into their into war in

566
00:45:04.480 --> 00:45:07.119
themselves, I suppose. But Allen
is an object of beauty in other words.

567
00:45:07.320 --> 00:45:12.000
Well, speaking of that, they
are linking a lot of these things

568
00:45:12.079 --> 00:45:15.679
to the Roman times because the village
was by a Roman old Roman wall or

569
00:45:15.760 --> 00:45:22.639
boundary. And then when the little
boy who saw her with pan If he's

570
00:45:22.639 --> 00:45:24.599
having these nervous breakdowns and they take
him to the doctor's house and he sees

571
00:45:24.639 --> 00:45:29.159
the statue of pan and like loses
it. Yeah, and they're like,

572
00:45:29.199 --> 00:45:34.119
oh, we just excavated this like
from an old like not too long ago,

573
00:45:34.320 --> 00:45:40.760
and so it's almost like Puzuzu powers
yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

574
00:45:40.760 --> 00:45:45.280
If you're excavating and you find a
statue of this devil man, just

575
00:45:45.440 --> 00:45:52.440
put it back. No smash it, just smash the damn thing. So

576
00:45:52.920 --> 00:45:57.599
there's that story. And then so
Clark is going through all of these papers

577
00:45:57.679 --> 00:46:02.320
of like, uh, the X
files. Right, He's got a bureau

578
00:46:02.360 --> 00:46:06.599
of X files that he's going through. So now we're reading these X files.

579
00:46:06.880 --> 00:46:12.880
Another file was about a girl,
and so you're saying bat boy is

580
00:46:13.039 --> 00:46:22.519
real. Bat boyle kills Gully.
Remember I tweeted, I tweeted at him

581
00:46:22.519 --> 00:46:27.239
when I stawt of Twitter, I
tweeted at him afterwards that show, that

582
00:46:27.400 --> 00:46:30.760
episode was on television. I tweeted
him you saying bat Boy is real.

583
00:46:30.480 --> 00:46:37.920
He loved it. Goat Boy is
real. Yeah. Yeah, So Helen

584
00:46:37.000 --> 00:46:40.239
B grows up a little bit.
She gets a friend who's about her age.

585
00:46:40.280 --> 00:46:47.559
They're staying they're about what like fifteen
sixteen ish made an age and Helen

586
00:46:47.639 --> 00:46:53.639
B takes her friend into the forest
and to get h. M. L.

587
00:46:53.679 --> 00:47:00.559
E. Steed by Pan. Yeah
right, this is this is Pan

588
00:47:00.800 --> 00:47:04.039
Pans Labyrinth, by the way,
I mean that's that's the Romans, because

589
00:47:04.079 --> 00:47:08.360
in Pans Labyrinth they're the Roman Ruins. Yeah, and she she immediately when

590
00:47:08.360 --> 00:47:12.760
they get to the place where they
are for the you know, the fascists

591
00:47:12.800 --> 00:47:16.079
go up and they're whatever, they
have their little place, the phylangists,

592
00:47:16.159 --> 00:47:20.760
and then she immediately sees the Roman
Ruins and walks into it, into the

593
00:47:20.840 --> 00:47:23.280
labyrinth and then there it's almost like
he is walking through a labyrinth. The

594
00:47:23.320 --> 00:47:30.199
man in the wood grotesque appearance,
the owner of the house. Uh,

595
00:47:30.960 --> 00:47:34.960
well that's what you just read here. Yeah, but I might note it

596
00:47:35.079 --> 00:47:39.599
was at the top of the page
was sra a monarch Kathy O'Brien. Okay,

597
00:47:42.880 --> 00:47:45.719
yeah, EXCESSI Helen was known in
the village for excessive liberality, and

598
00:47:45.760 --> 00:47:50.360
the impression was general that she would
one day inherit a large sum of money

599
00:47:50.360 --> 00:47:53.079
from the relative and then takes her
into the woods. Yeah. So at

600
00:47:53.119 --> 00:47:57.639
this point the reader does not know
what Helen has to do with Mary,

601
00:47:59.079 --> 00:48:05.440
right, And then at the end
of this chapter, the Helen's friend disappears

602
00:48:07.639 --> 00:48:10.320
or her mom finds her in the
bed with her her skirt up that she

603
00:48:10.480 --> 00:48:16.199
has been taken advantage of by Pan, and then she disappears. And then

604
00:48:16.719 --> 00:48:22.840
at the end is this Latin.
Yeah, a diabolis incarnate st at homo

605
00:48:22.960 --> 00:48:29.039
factus est, which is and a
devil was made incarnate and a human being

606
00:48:29.239 --> 00:48:32.280
was produced. So this is very
Rosemary's baby, it is. And that's

607
00:48:32.320 --> 00:48:37.360
also that the Elizabeth Barrett Browning Palm, the great God Pan is dead and

608
00:48:38.800 --> 00:48:46.400
I wrote atavistic reversion to ancestral antique
and primordial also on that facing page on

609
00:48:46.440 --> 00:48:52.360
page twenty. It's just interesting to
look at the language because because it is

610
00:48:52.760 --> 00:48:57.920
like you're reading Twilight language. Because
we're talking about a book where we're talking

611
00:48:58.000 --> 00:49:00.679
about two world two different worlds,
you know, a literal and a figurative

612
00:49:01.320 --> 00:49:07.360
here and now and a spiritual world
that's beyond the veil. It's interesting to

613
00:49:07.400 --> 00:49:09.280
look at some of the language and
how it adds up, like when you

614
00:49:09.400 --> 00:49:12.679
just look at Oh, you can't
really see that when you look at the

615
00:49:12.960 --> 00:49:17.480
page. Just the verbs in that
one paragraph live, die, struggle,

616
00:49:17.599 --> 00:49:23.440
conquer, fail, fall, grieve, suffer, m nightmare, Yeah,

617
00:49:25.960 --> 00:49:31.000
unspeakable elements and throned as it were, and triumphant and human flesh mhm.

618
00:49:31.800 --> 00:49:39.719
Oh. And this is foreshadowing.
This is foreshew. It's foreshadowing that Pan

619
00:49:40.039 --> 00:49:45.480
has what did I write? Oh, that he has Well, I don't

620
00:49:45.480 --> 00:49:49.440
want to give away what happens in
the book, but foreshadowing is something that

621
00:49:49.519 --> 00:49:52.400
happens that Pan is done in this
sex magic ritual. Yeah. Okay,

622
00:49:53.639 --> 00:50:00.519
So now we're getting to chapter three
where some more characters are introduced. So

623
00:50:00.639 --> 00:50:09.280
many characters k Billier, Wattam and
Charles Herbert. So these are two Dandy's

624
00:50:09.639 --> 00:50:15.320
well one Villier. He's just like
a man about town, right, He's

625
00:50:15.360 --> 00:50:24.480
like you're Dorian Gray or I'm a
Jack the lad yeah, and noticed at

626
00:50:24.480 --> 00:50:29.519
the bottom of that page. I
couldn't help but think that of the part

627
00:50:29.599 --> 00:50:32.719
with an animal lecture, because it
talks about Villiers had emerged from his restaurant

628
00:50:34.199 --> 00:50:38.239
and after an excellent dinner of many
courses, assisted by his ingratiating little flask

629
00:50:38.360 --> 00:50:44.760
of keyanti. Yeah, he did
what did you call it? A foppish

630
00:50:44.960 --> 00:50:52.079
Yes, he's a foppish dandy man, Foppish dandies. And he is just

631
00:50:52.199 --> 00:50:55.000
finishing his fine meal and he comes
out and he runs into like a homeless

632
00:50:55.000 --> 00:51:00.679
beggar, and he recognizes him as
somebody who he graduated with not too long

633
00:51:00.760 --> 00:51:04.840
ago from university. So he's like, how did I end up here?

634
00:51:04.920 --> 00:51:08.119
And you ended up there? Right? Well, the world needs ditch diggers

635
00:51:08.159 --> 00:51:14.800
too, I suppose. Come to
find out, he was red pilled when

636
00:51:15.000 --> 00:51:22.239
he met Helen V. And Helen
VU corrupted his soul. Right, So

637
00:51:22.440 --> 00:51:30.000
the homeless beggar man married this Helen
lady, all right. And he said

638
00:51:30.199 --> 00:51:32.440
she spoke of things which even now
I would not dare whisper in the blackest

639
00:51:32.599 --> 00:51:37.000
night, not in your most fantastic, hideous dreams. Can you have imagine

640
00:51:37.039 --> 00:51:42.920
forth the faintest shadow of what I've
heard and seen so he's seen some shit.

641
00:51:43.519 --> 00:51:50.280
Yeah right, I've seen some stuff, man, and heard some shit.

642
00:51:51.440 --> 00:51:55.400
He bought that thousand yards stare of
you know, post traumatic stress disorder,

643
00:51:55.480 --> 00:52:00.400
just from being married to this Helen
And she was a ruined man.

644
00:52:00.559 --> 00:52:04.880
I mean he was a ruined man
in a year because she took it all

645
00:52:04.960 --> 00:52:10.559
from him and left him and left
him haunted. And he does not even

646
00:52:10.599 --> 00:52:15.400
think of her as human. I
was a foolish I was a foppish dandy

647
00:52:15.559 --> 00:52:21.519
of the nth degree until I met
this Siza. Yes, that things.

648
00:52:21.960 --> 00:52:28.159
He doesn't ever blink again. Page
twenty three. Also it talks about London

649
00:52:28.239 --> 00:52:30.039
has been called the city of encounters. It's more than that, it's the

650
00:52:30.079 --> 00:52:34.000
city of resurrection. And then on
page fifty six, later on, jumping

651
00:52:34.000 --> 00:52:39.000
on, it'll call it. They'll
call London the city of nightmares. Yeah,

652
00:52:39.920 --> 00:52:47.239
because he a haunted, haunted man
who has seen hell. So then

653
00:52:47.280 --> 00:52:53.800
they're talking again about the bad odor
that came from their house, from the

654
00:52:53.920 --> 00:52:59.320
homeless man and Helen Bee's house,
they call it. They like to use

655
00:52:59.320 --> 00:53:02.280
the word queer in this book,
in the in the weird way, in

656
00:53:02.320 --> 00:53:07.960
the way that it means he was
he was a queer fellow. He had

657
00:53:07.960 --> 00:53:14.280
an owner like Henry Lee Lucas.
It was unmistakable. So him and Helen

658
00:53:14.400 --> 00:53:19.320
moved into this house. And then
there's like dead bodies happening around the house.

659
00:53:19.559 --> 00:53:22.440
There's all this bad smells. People
don't want to be friends with them.

660
00:53:22.840 --> 00:53:29.000
Everyone who saw her said she was
at once the most beautiful woman and

661
00:53:29.119 --> 00:53:34.400
the most repulsive they had ever set
eyes on. So there's another alchemical like

662
00:53:35.119 --> 00:53:39.440
duality. Yeah, it sounds like
Crowley's low La Zaza or whatever. Sounds

663
00:53:39.480 --> 00:53:44.639
like the scarlet women that he wanted, you know, beautiful, beautiful women

664
00:53:44.679 --> 00:53:49.559
that he then degrades into beasts.
Well, not only that this book that

665
00:53:49.760 --> 00:53:52.840
I haven't done the Robin Show yet
because I was not feeling good this week,

666
00:53:52.880 --> 00:53:58.760
but they talk about the law of
reversion and the an ad that he

667
00:53:58.920 --> 00:54:02.440
put out for Scarlett in calling for
ugly women, fat women, women with

668
00:54:02.760 --> 00:54:07.840
scars, tattoos, colored women.
Not that that's ugly, but he in

669
00:54:07.960 --> 00:54:13.400
the time, he was trying to
think of anything that he was repulsed by,

670
00:54:13.480 --> 00:54:16.679
and he wanted to leave that in
his ritual imagine answering the ad.

671
00:54:17.280 --> 00:54:28.119
Right, God, that's me,
I'm ugly finally, so Helen is bad

672
00:54:28.239 --> 00:54:34.559
news. She stinks she's beautiful and
ugly at the same time. And so

673
00:54:34.880 --> 00:54:39.960
now Villers and Clark, Villier not
Villers and Clark, are friends somehow.

674
00:54:40.159 --> 00:54:47.039
So they're trying to figure out who
is this total lady who was the downfall

675
00:54:47.119 --> 00:54:52.920
of his college friend? Right?
Is he Clark? Because it's like,

676
00:54:53.480 --> 00:54:57.880
I know this is English, but
he said he was a pioneer. The

677
00:54:57.960 --> 00:55:00.280
other guy thought of himself as a
pioneer. So it's kind of like this

678
00:55:00.400 --> 00:55:01.840
duo figure. So it's kind of
a Lewis and Clark, you know,

679
00:55:04.000 --> 00:55:08.440
duo here. And then we have
Villier the villain. He's not the villain,

680
00:55:08.519 --> 00:55:19.559
but there's there's definitely a part on
page thirty. This is the beginning

681
00:55:19.599 --> 00:55:22.400
of the Ripper connections that I saw
in the book, because at the top

682
00:55:22.440 --> 00:55:27.079
of page thirty it says, but
some very odd things came out about them.

683
00:55:27.159 --> 00:55:29.480
Though it was between five and six
in the morning. The dead man

684
00:55:30.400 --> 00:55:34.079
was removed and a large crowd had
collected and several of his neighbors ran to

685
00:55:34.119 --> 00:55:37.239
see what was going on. So
he was removed, and then part of

686
00:55:37.280 --> 00:55:38.920
me at the bottom of the page, I know perfectly well what caused death.

687
00:55:39.039 --> 00:55:43.719
Blank died of fright of sheer awful
terror. I never saw features so

688
00:55:43.840 --> 00:55:49.280
hideously contorted in the entire course of
my practice, and I've seen the faces

689
00:55:49.320 --> 00:55:52.119
of a whole host of dead.
The doctor was usually a cool customer,

690
00:55:52.199 --> 00:55:54.400
enough in certain vehemence, and his
manner struck me, but I couldn't get

691
00:55:54.440 --> 00:55:58.119
anything more out of him. That's
the same thing that happens. I did

692
00:55:58.199 --> 00:56:00.320
it again. I did an analysis
of Chack the for about a year ago,

693
00:56:00.360 --> 00:56:02.920
and that's the same sort of things
that the investigators are saying when they

694
00:56:02.920 --> 00:56:08.119
come upon the bodies. And then
there are more references later on in the

695
00:56:08.159 --> 00:56:12.719
book, which we'll get to.
What what what year was Jack the Rivers

696
00:56:12.840 --> 00:56:21.199
eighteen ninety eight, Yeah, and
this was eighteen ninety so it was well

697
00:56:21.320 --> 00:56:30.079
known. Yeah, it's not fresh
on everybody's mind. So then they introduced

698
00:56:30.079 --> 00:56:37.079
a couple more like characters. Austin
a guy named Austin Billy are friends and

699
00:56:37.239 --> 00:56:44.199
they are kind of on the trail
of like Helen V. And then this

700
00:56:45.039 --> 00:56:52.159
other lady, Missus Beaumont m so. Missus Beaumont is known for like hosting

701
00:56:52.519 --> 00:57:00.199
weird dinner parties that everybody loved all
of the gentry of London like to go

702
00:57:00.280 --> 00:57:07.599
to her weird dinner party. Yes, come to my salon. All the

703
00:57:07.760 --> 00:57:16.079
faults will be there. It's like
I guess, I guess at the end

704
00:57:16.079 --> 00:57:24.039
of the Victorian era, you know, every sort of passion was was satiated.

705
00:57:24.440 --> 00:57:28.559
Right, So then they started to
get into the occult. Yeah,

706
00:57:28.920 --> 00:57:32.920
and into you know, mixing electrical
energy and the occult and these seances and

707
00:57:34.039 --> 00:57:38.159
looking for something else to satisfy them
because they had opium. Right, remember

708
00:57:38.159 --> 00:57:43.320
they remember they invented morphine as a
cure for cocaine or was it love vice

709
00:57:43.400 --> 00:57:45.920
versa. One was an invented one
was invented as a cure for the other.

710
00:57:46.320 --> 00:57:51.760
Right, Oh, your child is
on morphine, Well take some cocaine.

711
00:57:52.039 --> 00:57:54.480
Right, And they you know,
and they can do anything they want

712
00:57:54.519 --> 00:57:58.199
and have that they have all this
money in this power and they owned you

713
00:57:58.239 --> 00:58:00.360
know, a quarter of the globe. So at that point I guess they

714
00:58:00.400 --> 00:58:06.599
start getting into the occult, right, because they're just pushing boundaries of science

715
00:58:07.679 --> 00:58:15.559
and exploration and discovery and so what
next is the spirit world? Because they've

716
00:58:15.639 --> 00:58:22.199
conquered you know, pretty much under
that regime, what packs Britannica at that

717
00:58:22.320 --> 00:58:24.440
time, like, yeah, there
was nowhere else to go. Yea.

718
00:58:25.880 --> 00:58:32.960
So one scene in this book they
are looking at some artwork of somebody who

719
00:58:34.000 --> 00:58:37.800
has had a run in with this
lady, and it says in the frightful

720
00:58:37.960 --> 00:58:43.719
Waltzburgus Night of evil, strange,
constrous evil, that the dead artist had

721
00:58:43.760 --> 00:58:47.599
set forth in hard black and white, the figures of fawns and satyrs and

722
00:58:49.519 --> 00:58:52.400
ag pants danced before his eyes.
So I had to look up what an

723
00:58:52.440 --> 00:58:57.960
ag pan was, and that is
the capricorn. Yeah, that's the goat

724
00:58:58.039 --> 00:59:02.679
fish. Yeah, yeah, danced
before his eyes, the darkness of the

725
00:59:02.800 --> 00:59:07.039
thicket, the dance on the mountaintop, the scenes by the lonely shores and

726
00:59:07.119 --> 00:59:10.119
green vineyards, by rocks and desert
places, a world before which the human

727
00:59:10.199 --> 00:59:15.039
soul seemed to shrink back and shutter. So coming into contact with this person

728
00:59:15.800 --> 00:59:22.239
has caused artists to go mad,
little children to go mad, maidens to

729
00:59:23.039 --> 00:59:29.559
lose their virtue and disappear and die. Right, So, everybody who comes

730
00:59:29.599 --> 00:59:35.679
into contact the person who has a
terrible fate. Yeah, yeah, you

731
00:59:35.719 --> 00:59:37.679
would pass the rest of your life
as I passed by a haunted man,

732
00:59:37.800 --> 00:59:44.000
a man who has seen hell.
Yeah. So this poor guy. He

733
00:59:44.159 --> 00:59:54.679
is black pill. And then there's
some more Latin in this chapter on page

734
00:59:54.719 --> 01:00:00.000
forty six. Okay, I'm talking
about the universe is silent throughout the day

735
01:00:00.920 --> 01:00:07.960
and just basically like pan with the
fish tails playing reef pipes. Mm hmm

736
01:00:08.719 --> 01:00:15.519
right, oh yeah, okay,
oh yeah. My note says, yeah

737
01:00:15.599 --> 01:00:22.320
the the aji Panem zodiac Capricorn,
goatfish c f jamie reference I wrote.

738
01:00:24.519 --> 01:00:31.880
I wrote, Uh, let's see, the universe is lifeless at day,

739
01:00:32.039 --> 01:00:36.960
but the secret is not without horrors
at night fires shine. Yeah, this

740
01:00:37.119 --> 01:00:40.920
is the this is from this paragraph. The the a japanis, Oh,

741
01:00:42.000 --> 01:00:45.320
this is the this is the Latin
inscription. Oh yeah, I'm just translating

742
01:00:45.360 --> 01:00:50.880
it now. Yeah yeah see La
paradam universus. Yeah so so I don't

743
01:00:50.880 --> 01:00:53.079
know what what you're translation was.
The universe is lifeless at day, but

744
01:00:53.199 --> 01:00:58.559
the universe is not without horrors at
night, fires shine. The a japanis

745
01:00:59.719 --> 01:01:04.599
uh uh, I couldn't read my
writing here. Resounds everywhere. The melody

746
01:01:04.679 --> 01:01:08.000
of the flutes and the tinkling of
the symbols are heard on the sea coast,

747
01:01:12.719 --> 01:01:17.679
which sounds like a which sounds like
a almost like a stage in a

748
01:01:17.880 --> 01:01:28.800
ritual initiation. Well, speaking of
that, the chapter six talks about So

749
01:01:29.320 --> 01:01:31.599
we've got this lady Missus Beaumont that
we're got our eye on. Now we've

750
01:01:31.679 --> 01:01:39.519
got Helen v We've got Mary the
lobotomized girl, Clark Villier, and now

751
01:01:39.599 --> 01:01:47.480
we get Lord Argentine or Argentine favorite
in London is byronic. Yeah, he

752
01:01:47.719 --> 01:01:54.320
was the foppiest of fops, right, But basically what they're saying is like

753
01:01:54.559 --> 01:02:04.679
anybody that goes to dinner at Beaumont's, Like all of these people who wouldn't

754
01:02:04.719 --> 01:02:09.639
be committing un ali being on themselves
are doing this for no reason. And

755
01:02:09.719 --> 01:02:15.960
it's like a rash of these in
London. And I was gonna say it's

756
01:02:15.960 --> 01:02:22.280
also it's also we get these this
variety of characters who represent the various levels

757
01:02:22.320 --> 01:02:27.480
of high society. Yeah, I'm
mixed in with this and sometimes they are.

758
01:02:27.519 --> 01:02:30.840
I mean, this is byronic,
he says, Lord argent Lord Argentine

759
01:02:30.360 --> 01:02:32.960
was a great favorite in London society. At twenty he had been a poor

760
01:02:34.039 --> 01:02:37.000
man, decked with the surname of
an illustrious family, but forced to earn

761
01:02:37.039 --> 01:02:40.199
a livelihood as best he could,
and the most speculative of money lenders would

762
01:02:40.199 --> 01:02:43.480
not have en trusted him with fifty
pounds on the chance of ever changing his

763
01:02:43.599 --> 01:02:45.159
name for a title and his poverty
for a great fortune. That's Byron.

764
01:02:46.320 --> 01:02:50.239
That's I mean, that's Byron to
a T. Byron is the richest poor

765
01:02:50.320 --> 01:02:52.679
man, right, He's got he's
got a name and a title, but

766
01:02:52.800 --> 01:02:57.159
he has no money, and he's
subject to money lenders and and you know

767
01:02:57.320 --> 01:03:01.199
he's he ends up being finance by
this weird in his real life. I

768
01:03:01.280 --> 01:03:05.719
did. There was a biography of
Byron. He was financed by this weird

769
01:03:05.840 --> 01:03:13.000
society woman who hosted these salons and
she was involved in oswatch Shut activities.

770
01:03:13.119 --> 01:03:15.599
And he writes her, yeah,
that's her. Yeah, And he writes

771
01:03:15.679 --> 01:03:17.920
letters to her saying like please,
I don't want to do that. You

772
01:03:17.960 --> 01:03:21.239
know, I don't want to do
this anymore. He doesn't say what that

773
01:03:21.360 --> 01:03:24.440
this is? Yeah, She's like, you must go you must do the

774
01:03:24.599 --> 01:03:30.960
thing. Yeah. People can go
back and watch that Byron stream. But

775
01:03:30.039 --> 01:03:34.320
that's Byron too a T. Yeah. Is that on your channel? Yes?

776
01:03:34.559 --> 01:03:42.480
Yeah. So the thing that I
wrote about the Lord Argentine on Aliving

777
01:03:42.960 --> 01:03:47.360
was that they found him his body
leaning forward at an angle from the bottom

778
01:03:47.400 --> 01:03:52.440
of the bed he had choked himself
in the way that like Robin Williams was

779
01:03:52.519 --> 01:03:59.920
found and more people have been found
like that, right, Yeah, it's

780
01:04:00.159 --> 01:04:03.400
not in the way of the total
pervert thing, right, the guy from

781
01:04:03.480 --> 01:04:10.239
kill Bill was found. But it
is which is the auto Dad? Yeah,

782
01:04:10.360 --> 01:04:13.519
David Carradine, which which which?
Again I hate to bring Norman to

783
01:04:13.599 --> 01:04:15.320
this again, but Norm McDonald says, the worst part about that is the

784
01:04:15.440 --> 01:04:20.039
fact that you do that and then
you are found, so someone has to

785
01:04:20.159 --> 01:04:24.960
find you like that. Yeah,
and they had to keep together what happened?

786
01:04:25.280 --> 01:04:30.719
Right? Right? Oh boy?
But he is you know, you

787
01:04:30.800 --> 01:04:35.519
have found strangled I suppose, And
and there was a coming up. There's

788
01:04:35.519 --> 01:04:40.239
another one. I don't think it
was this one, but there's another one

789
01:04:40.360 --> 01:04:44.360
in here that was just like I
think it was at was Aldo Morow.

790
01:04:45.519 --> 01:04:48.760
Aldo Morrow was the guy that was
involved with P two Lodge and the Vatican

791
01:04:48.800 --> 01:04:54.760
scandal. Was he the one that
was found strangled in the Masonic ritual over

792
01:04:54.840 --> 01:04:59.159
the Thames? I don't know.
I'm sure when this goes loud somebody will

793
01:04:59.159 --> 01:05:01.719
say who it was. But what
about Captain Morgan? Didn't he have a

794
01:05:01.800 --> 01:05:12.039
bad like that for talking about masonry. I don't know, ap. I

795
01:05:12.119 --> 01:05:14.719
thought it was just that. No, I was gonna make trying to make

796
01:05:14.840 --> 01:05:18.199
some stupid joke about spicy rum.
No, I'm serious, Like he was

797
01:05:18.280 --> 01:05:21.559
a foppish character, though he was
a very captain hook character. Yeah,

798
01:05:21.760 --> 01:05:27.400
he he did something they didn't like. I'll have to look that up again.

799
01:05:27.519 --> 01:05:34.440
So anyways, each of the people
that did this had dined at her

800
01:05:34.519 --> 01:05:44.280
house the night before and no reason
whatsoever. Right, but this is the

801
01:05:44.320 --> 01:05:49.719
Missus Beaumont who has taken London by
storm. She would be called very handsome,

802
01:05:49.840 --> 01:05:53.159
and yet there's something about her face
which I didn't like. Well,

803
01:05:53.800 --> 01:06:03.079
spoilers ahead. Helen v Helen,
the lady that ruined the college guy,

804
01:06:03.960 --> 01:06:15.519
Missus Beaumont are all the same,
right, And then you come to find

805
01:06:15.559 --> 01:06:26.840
out that this was actually the daughter
of Mary who got the lobotomy and saw

806
01:06:26.880 --> 01:06:36.639
a pant. So it's generational,
yes, And one fifty one is a

807
01:06:36.679 --> 01:06:44.400
good descriptions talking about Lord Swanley,
h was found one morning in his dressing

808
01:06:44.480 --> 01:06:47.880
room hanging from a peg a fixed
to the wall. Again, there was

809
01:06:47.960 --> 01:06:51.199
no explanation in either case, but
a few bald facts. A living man

810
01:06:51.280 --> 01:06:55.440
in the evening and a body with
a black, swollen face in the morning.

811
01:06:56.000 --> 01:07:01.039
That alone is that's yeah. The
police have been forced to confess themselves

812
01:07:01.119 --> 01:07:05.000
powerless to arrest or to explain the
sordid murders of White Chapel. There's your

813
01:07:05.559 --> 01:07:12.840
Jack the Ripper reference, and White
Chapel is for the folks at home.

814
01:07:12.880 --> 01:07:15.280
White Chapel is a district in the
East end of London where the Jack Ripper

815
01:07:15.440 --> 01:07:18.880
murders took place. That's still there. Each of these men who had resolved

816
01:07:18.880 --> 01:07:23.239
to die a tortured, shameful death, was a rich, prosperous and to

817
01:07:23.320 --> 01:07:26.800
all appearances, in love with the
world, and not the acutest research should

818
01:07:26.800 --> 01:07:30.400
fared out any shadow of a lurking
motive in either case. And there's a

819
01:07:30.519 --> 01:07:32.480
fit. There's a victim of a
fifth nameless tragedy which ties in with Jack

820
01:07:32.599 --> 01:07:38.360
River. Again. It's like a
the points of the pentagram. And then

821
01:07:40.119 --> 01:07:44.280
again we get this reiteration of this
kind of phrase about discovering the dead body

822
01:07:44.360 --> 01:07:46.360
on the next page fifty two at
the bottom. I never experienced such a

823
01:07:46.400 --> 01:07:49.800
feeling of horror as when I read
the account of Argentine's death. I didn't

824
01:07:49.840 --> 01:07:55.000
understand at the time and I don't
now. And then there's the there's the

825
01:07:55.119 --> 01:08:00.440
theory of acute suicide scidal mania.
And then they say, as for the

826
01:08:00.519 --> 01:08:03.639
theory of mania, that is very
well page fifty three. That is very

827
01:08:03.719 --> 01:08:06.840
well, of course, for the
coroner's journey. But everybody knows that it's

828
01:08:06.880 --> 01:08:14.199
all nonsense. S sidal mania is
not smallpox. And then it talks about

829
01:08:14.239 --> 01:08:16.239
then it goes into the labyrinth.
Austin tried to shake off the remembrance of

830
01:08:16.319 --> 01:08:20.680
tragedies as hopeless and perplexed as the
Labyrinth of data Lists, and began to

831
01:08:20.760 --> 01:08:26.600
talk in different voice of the more
pleasant incidents and adventures of the season.

832
01:08:26.600 --> 01:08:30.439
The Labyrinth of data Lists, of
course, is in the in the Myths,

833
01:08:30.079 --> 01:08:33.079
and is where data List is,
you know. Data List makes his

834
01:08:33.119 --> 01:08:36.680
way through the labyrinth and uses the
string to to track his way back.

835
01:08:36.720 --> 01:08:44.199
He creates the labyrinth, but at
at the inside the labyrinth is the Minotaur,

836
01:08:44.319 --> 01:08:48.439
and the Minotaur. The Minotaur is
a is a character as an archetype

837
01:08:48.960 --> 01:08:55.760
who sits in the abyss in Judgment
in Dante's Inferno. He's in one of

838
01:08:55.800 --> 01:09:00.479
the circles of Hell, and so
is Minos. Minos appears there as well,

839
01:09:00.880 --> 01:09:02.039
so in other words, you're making
your way through the labyrinth. But

840
01:09:02.159 --> 01:09:05.159
also, and that is going to
happen with pet Pans Labyrinth, but is

841
01:09:05.199 --> 01:09:10.479
a way of talking about making your
way through your psyche and through your you

842
01:09:10.560 --> 01:09:14.920
know, a spiritual journey through your
spot, your psyche, finding of course

843
01:09:15.039 --> 01:09:19.479
the beast at the center of the
thing. Right, So the labyrinth is

844
01:09:19.560 --> 01:09:24.479
like, yeah, you just said
your psyche. And it always has to

845
01:09:24.560 --> 01:09:30.600
do with girls coming of age.
I mean the movie Labyrinth with Connelly classic

846
01:09:30.239 --> 01:09:33.960
right right, or Jack Torrence chasing
Danny through the Labyrinth at the end of

847
01:09:33.960 --> 01:09:49.199
the Shining Yea where he is the
mentaur in that. So let's skip to

848
01:09:49.239 --> 01:09:57.199
page sixty five where they're talking about
Missus Beaumont's parties, and they're talking about

849
01:09:57.199 --> 01:10:00.439
an account of the entertainment Missus Beaumont
provided for her choice or guests. He

850
01:10:00.560 --> 01:10:03.960
says, his eye caught by a
word and phrase that followed it, and

851
01:10:04.199 --> 01:10:08.640
sick at heart, with white lips
and cold sweat pouring down like water from

852
01:10:08.680 --> 01:10:15.560
his temples, he flung the paper
down. It doesn't really say what he

853
01:10:15.760 --> 01:10:18.199
read, but they said, is
is horrible enough, but after all,

854
01:10:18.279 --> 01:10:23.279
it is an old story, an
old mystery. Played in our day and

855
01:10:23.439 --> 01:10:27.520
in dim London streets instead of amidst
the vineyards and the olive gardens. So

856
01:10:27.680 --> 01:10:32.039
what do you make of that?
Well, I think there's a continuous motif

857
01:10:32.119 --> 01:10:36.920
in this of people coming across artifacts
like we mentioned, and then living art,

858
01:10:38.079 --> 01:10:40.840
you know, living or dead artifacts. That those are the terms mentioned

859
01:10:40.840 --> 01:10:43.720
in Donnie Darko that I just did. So I keep using artifacts, but

860
01:10:44.039 --> 01:10:49.279
faces, faces and pieces of paper
that indicate absolute shock and horror at the

861
01:10:49.359 --> 01:10:54.039
thing that they're finding in the labyrinth. And again this also occurs, just

862
01:10:54.119 --> 01:10:57.199
to jump back on page fifty eight. Why because it made my blood run

863
01:10:57.319 --> 01:11:00.119
cold to see that man's face.
I could never have supposed that such an

864
01:11:00.159 --> 01:11:03.640
infernal medley of passions could have glared
out of any human eyes. I almost

865
01:11:03.680 --> 01:11:08.720
fainted as I looked. I looked, I knew I looked into the eyes

866
01:11:08.760 --> 01:11:12.119
of a lost soul, that man
no longer belonged to this world. It

867
01:11:12.239 --> 01:11:16.399
was a devil's face I looked upon. So the I suppose the paper that

868
01:11:16.439 --> 01:11:20.600
they're finding at this point is what's
on the paper? Is it part of

869
01:11:20.640 --> 01:11:24.880
the description of the ritual? At
that point, I think it was her,

870
01:11:25.520 --> 01:11:29.640
a sketch of her face that they're
putting two and two together like this

871
01:11:30.199 --> 01:11:33.920
is also this person or whatever?
Right I wanted to ask you what the

872
01:11:34.159 --> 01:11:41.600
symbol was on page sixty five,
So sixty five sixty six he says,

873
01:11:41.680 --> 01:11:45.520
we know what happened to those who
chanced to meet the great God Pan,

874
01:11:45.279 --> 01:11:49.560
and those who are wise know that
all symbols were symbols of something, not

875
01:11:49.720 --> 01:11:56.560
of nothing. It was indeed an
exquisite symbol beneath which men long ago veiled

876
01:11:56.600 --> 01:11:59.680
their knowledge of the most awful,
most secret forces which lie the heart of

877
01:11:59.680 --> 01:12:02.119
all things. What do you think
that symbol was? Because then they go

878
01:12:02.319 --> 01:12:10.720
on to talk about electric currents and
such forces cannot be named, cannot be

879
01:12:10.800 --> 01:12:14.560
spoken, cannot be imagine, except
under a veil and a symbol, A

880
01:12:14.680 --> 01:12:16.840
symbol to the most of us,
appearing a quaint, poetic fancy to some

881
01:12:17.039 --> 01:12:20.640
a foolish tale. What do you
think that symbol is? A terror that

882
01:12:20.720 --> 01:12:25.680
may dwell in the secret place of
life? I think that well. By

883
01:12:25.720 --> 01:12:29.399
alluding to a symbol and not naming
the symbol, but then in the same

884
01:12:29.760 --> 01:12:33.079
paragraph talking about how symbols are symbols
of something, not of nothing, it's

885
01:12:33.119 --> 01:12:38.960
interesting. There's a weird there's a
weird play being there's something weird happening here

886
01:12:39.000 --> 01:12:42.880
in terms of the play on language
and in terms of what we're supposed to

887
01:12:42.960 --> 01:12:47.560
imagine. So this is one example
of the book is great at showing us

888
01:12:47.640 --> 01:12:51.960
the thing, right, and they
show us the horror, but they don't

889
01:12:53.119 --> 01:12:55.840
tell us an exposition what it is. And the rest of a lot of

890
01:12:55.880 --> 01:12:58.640
the book is exposition, but in
terms of the actual horrific things. But

891
01:12:58.760 --> 01:13:01.319
this part it's it's like we get
to a thing and they say that there's

892
01:13:01.319 --> 01:13:03.680
a symbol, it's a symbol of
something, but then they don't show or

893
01:13:03.800 --> 01:13:10.560
name the symbol exactly. It didn't
describe what it's a yes, so it's

894
01:13:10.560 --> 01:13:14.600
supposed to be something that we can
imagine, but we're left up to ultimate

895
01:13:14.680 --> 01:13:16.039
horror to be able to imagine what
it is. It could be a number

896
01:13:16.079 --> 01:13:19.520
of things, but it's almost more
horrific. What is it? I was

897
01:13:19.600 --> 01:13:24.760
thinking, symbol is it? It's
the it's the anc. No, it's

898
01:13:24.840 --> 01:13:31.199
prince. Remember that symbol that he
used artist, Yeah, yeah, yeah,

899
01:13:31.279 --> 01:13:35.119
which was which was like an anc
with a little yeah. Well it

900
01:13:35.239 --> 01:13:39.720
was like man and woman with a
little swirly do see. I thought it

901
01:13:39.880 --> 01:13:44.680
was to me, if I imagine
something like this, something that's commonplace,

902
01:13:44.880 --> 01:13:48.359
but it is supposed to be something
that's even deeper, and I imagine the

903
01:13:48.439 --> 01:13:56.279
spiral, and and because I think
that's that's so ingrained, I think once

904
01:13:56.359 --> 01:14:00.520
you cross a certain Okay, so
in terms of if you are in this

905
01:14:00.680 --> 01:14:02.920
sort of circle of people, who
are you know, reading this sort of

906
01:14:02.920 --> 01:14:08.239
stuff and in the general you know, conspiracy world, and you're reading about

907
01:14:08.279 --> 01:14:11.640
those things, there's a point at
which you can't return, right, And

908
01:14:11.800 --> 01:14:18.119
for me, that point is learning
about the the PG the p Gate stuff

909
01:14:19.199 --> 01:14:23.079
and the conspiracy of silence. I
don't want to say, but people know

910
01:14:23.159 --> 01:14:27.560
what that is. But when I
see that, that to me is a

911
01:14:27.640 --> 01:14:31.800
commonplace symbol. And it's about energy, right. It's like a revolving hurricane,

912
01:14:33.119 --> 01:14:38.640
the swirling of the psyche inside the
brain, the jumbling of the brain

913
01:14:38.800 --> 01:14:43.640
stew that the doctors are creating in
these in these people, and also the

914
01:14:43.960 --> 01:14:47.880
circles of hell. But it's swirling
downwards. And it's also something that occurs

915
01:14:48.000 --> 01:14:53.359
in all It occurs in Pan's Labyrinth, it occurs in Hook. I didn't

916
01:14:53.359 --> 01:14:58.960
see it in Peter Pan and Wendy, but it's something that it seems to

917
01:14:59.039 --> 01:15:02.359
be indicative of the a sort of
sex magic ritual tied in with you know,

918
01:15:02.439 --> 01:15:06.439
a hellish vision. Yeah, what
about that? The black and white

919
01:15:06.520 --> 01:15:12.079
spiral of the hypnotists us. Right, it's kind of right, going,

920
01:15:12.159 --> 01:15:15.359
yeah, going down deeper into yourself, into the subconscious mind. Yeah,

921
01:15:15.199 --> 01:15:19.800
I mean, what's worse than that? That is hell right? Yeah,

922
01:15:20.319 --> 01:15:25.119
being trapped inside your own mind like
that. Yeah. So here at the

923
01:15:25.159 --> 01:15:31.840
climax of the story, the guys
who figure out that Missus Helen v.

924
01:15:32.079 --> 01:15:36.920
Missus Beaumont, all of these people
are the same. He says he's gonna

925
01:15:36.920 --> 01:15:42.159
go to her house, and he
says, I shall offer her a choice

926
01:15:42.279 --> 01:15:45.000
alone with this chord in a locked
room for fifteen minutes. If we go

927
01:15:45.159 --> 01:15:48.720
in it's not done, I shall
call call the nearest policeman. That is

928
01:15:48.760 --> 01:15:59.680
all. So there's really nothing in
the storyline after that except for this papers

929
01:15:59.720 --> 01:16:04.479
by a doctor, the fragments of
the doctor who witnessed what happened when they

930
01:16:04.840 --> 01:16:13.199
to confront Missus Beaumont, and the
doctor says, I was privileged or a

931
01:16:13.279 --> 01:16:16.119
cursed to see that which was on
the bed line. They're black like ink

932
01:16:16.760 --> 01:16:20.000
transformed before my eyes, the skin
and the flesh and the muscles and the

933
01:16:20.039 --> 01:16:24.039
bones, and the firm structure of
the human body that I had thought to

934
01:16:24.079 --> 01:16:27.840
be unchangeable and permanent as adamant began
to melt and dissolve. So this is

935
01:16:27.920 --> 01:16:34.720
what I was talking about in the
beginning, the alchemical de evolution of Missus

936
01:16:34.760 --> 01:16:45.520
Beaumont back into goo or the primordial
ooze of panspermia. Okay, right,

937
01:16:46.239 --> 01:16:51.840
And he says, I saw the
form waiver from sex to sex, dividing

938
01:16:51.920 --> 01:16:57.960
itself from itself, and then again
reunited. Then I saw the body descend

939
01:16:58.159 --> 01:17:01.119
to the beasts which it ascended,
and that which was on the heights go

940
01:17:01.279 --> 01:17:04.159
down to the depths, even to
the abyss of all beings. Yeah,

941
01:17:04.239 --> 01:17:12.319
so down, so dissolving into the
stidgy and blackness, Yes, of black,

942
01:17:12.479 --> 01:17:18.920
luminous hell, surrounded by the beasts
of pandemonium. Right, all the

943
01:17:19.000 --> 01:17:23.800
devils are there, pan And yeah, even to the abyss of all being

944
01:17:23.880 --> 01:17:29.239
you said, also, of course, eighteen eighty eight is the manuscript on

945
01:17:29.399 --> 01:17:38.239
page seven, page seventy. And
one more thing, just in terms of

946
01:17:38.359 --> 01:17:41.920
the construction of the book, Like
when you look at the book, just

947
01:17:42.039 --> 01:17:45.439
when you look at the page,
see how the difference between this page and

948
01:17:45.520 --> 01:17:47.199
this page right here, And one
of the one of the differences is that

949
01:17:47.880 --> 01:17:54.239
one thing that's pretty clever about this
is that oftentimes, in literature, the

950
01:17:54.359 --> 01:17:59.279
great literature, has this synthesis of
form and content. Form plus content equals

951
01:17:59.359 --> 01:18:03.439
meaning. And it's almost more difficult
to do in pros because in a poem

952
01:18:03.479 --> 01:18:08.239
you have the immediate construction of the
form on the page, so like when

953
01:18:08.239 --> 01:18:11.279
you're looking at a sonnet, you
have fourteen lines and you see it right

954
01:18:11.399 --> 01:18:14.479
on the page, or you have
sesstats or you know. But in this

955
01:18:14.760 --> 01:18:17.640
in pros, where everything is thrown
onto a page, it's more difficult to

956
01:18:17.720 --> 01:18:20.439
do, and it as to the
meaning, relies more on the content.

957
01:18:20.520 --> 01:18:27.079
But here what we see is that
throughout the book, whenever we get when

958
01:18:27.439 --> 01:18:31.159
we know in a subtle way,
when we're being led towards something horrific,

959
01:18:31.279 --> 01:18:35.960
because the paragraphs will often get longer
and unbroken, and they'll either be short

960
01:18:36.039 --> 01:18:41.920
paragraphs with simple things, simple imagery, the simple horror of you know,

961
01:18:42.279 --> 01:18:45.439
of that we can't even expect,
or they'll be longer, Like I wrote,

962
01:18:45.520 --> 01:18:53.479
longer paragraphs is unbroken, the unbroken
sharing of the thought, of the

963
01:18:55.199 --> 01:19:00.359
of the awful shock of black deeds
and symbols. And again the word the

964
01:19:00.439 --> 01:19:04.439
word play like in that paragraph unknown
goal, black, faded, grimed,

965
01:19:04.600 --> 01:19:10.880
black dust, winner, I saw
what was required, dull street, quiet,

966
01:19:11.079 --> 01:19:14.479
no sunshine, no air. So
in other words, the words almost

967
01:19:14.520 --> 01:19:17.560
pop out at you like like a
code. But but it's carefully chosen.

968
01:19:17.600 --> 01:19:23.399
And even what you just read,
you said the word adamant. The word

969
01:19:23.479 --> 01:19:28.680
yeah, permanent as adamant. Well, Adamant is related to like that's in

970
01:19:28.800 --> 01:19:34.199
Paradise lost Adamantine chains. So sat
Satan is like held down at the shores

971
01:19:34.279 --> 01:19:39.640
of the Lake of Fire in Adamantine
chains. So they're they're permanent, they're

972
01:19:40.239 --> 01:19:44.760
they're unbreakable relating to adam they're they're
from the beginning of creation. So they're

973
01:19:44.920 --> 01:19:47.760
they're they're they're unbreakable. That's where
you get in the Marvel movies Adamantium.

974
01:19:48.239 --> 01:19:54.279
Oh yeah, okay, So but
I thought it was you know, this

975
01:19:54.479 --> 01:19:58.399
is a well, this is a
well done, a well done book.

976
01:19:58.439 --> 01:20:05.439
I know there's more. There's the
fragments and the hideous transformation. On page

977
01:20:05.479 --> 01:20:09.840
seventy and seventy two, it's almost
like he sees a Batha mat exactly.

978
01:20:10.279 --> 01:20:13.199
Yeah, in the in the Abyss
before Death, which is the Pan he

979
01:20:13.279 --> 01:20:16.399
sees the great god Pan, I
suppose. Yeah, So what had happened

980
01:20:16.600 --> 01:20:21.039
was the guys went to confront Missus
Beaumont. They convinced her to kill herself.

981
01:20:21.439 --> 01:20:26.439
And the interesting thing about this book
is the main character you never hear

982
01:20:27.960 --> 01:20:32.159
from her. You never hear her
speak. You only see the wake of

983
01:20:32.239 --> 01:20:43.039
destruction that she has caused. So
it's almost like just this force instead of

984
01:20:43.119 --> 01:20:46.279
an actual character. So is she
like an avatar for Pan himself? You

985
01:20:46.359 --> 01:20:51.319
know, we never see him.
Yeah, She's Pan's daughter, right of

986
01:20:51.359 --> 01:20:56.600
course, if you're reading it in
a more materialistic way or like a rational

987
01:20:56.720 --> 01:21:00.520
way, you would read it as
she's the daughter of the side scientists who

988
01:21:00.520 --> 01:21:03.239
impregnated Mary before he gave her the
little botomy, because that would explain the

989
01:21:03.319 --> 01:21:10.880
tender kisses and stuff. Look in
his eyes, he's eyes, he has

990
01:21:10.920 --> 01:21:17.520
her hoofs Okay. So yeah,
when the Missus Beaumont, Pan's daughter,

991
01:21:17.960 --> 01:21:27.279
Helen V kills herself, and the
doctor had witnessed what happened when she was

992
01:21:27.600 --> 01:21:32.199
like morphing into the evolutionary goo.
He says, I watched and at last

993
01:21:32.279 --> 01:21:38.279
I saw but a substance as jelly. I saw form shaped in dimness before

994
01:21:38.359 --> 01:21:42.079
me, which I will not farther
describe. But the symbol of this form

995
01:21:42.119 --> 01:21:46.720
may be seen in ancient sculptures and
in paintings which survived beneath the lava too

996
01:21:46.800 --> 01:21:50.920
foul to be spoken of as a
horrible and unspeakable shape. Either man nor

997
01:21:50.960 --> 01:21:58.199
beast was changed into human form.
There came finally death. This is also

998
01:21:58.319 --> 01:22:00.800
like under the Skin. Yeah,
I mean in that it's an you know,

999
01:22:00.880 --> 01:22:05.199
it's an alien ghoul demon, right, But she meets the guy in

1000
01:22:05.239 --> 01:22:08.279
the woods. There's a scene at
the end where she meets the guy in

1001
01:22:08.319 --> 01:22:12.439
the woods. They're in They're in
Scotland. She meets the guy in the

1002
01:22:12.479 --> 01:22:16.720
woods and then she seduces him Scar
Joe gets naked, and then she takes

1003
01:22:16.760 --> 01:22:20.079
off her human skin suit and she's
the black goog ghoul. Yeah, and

1004
01:22:20.119 --> 01:22:24.520
then it goes into the blackness of
It's just like in Stranger Things with the

1005
01:22:24.680 --> 01:22:30.439
upside down. There's the black pool
and then like consumes his body as a

1006
01:22:30.520 --> 01:22:34.079
shell and it just kind of floats
like a ribbon. Yeah, So I

1007
01:22:34.159 --> 01:22:38.720
suppose it's the same sort of I
was gonna say that about Neverland too.

1008
01:22:38.760 --> 01:22:43.079
It is like the upside down in
Stranger Things. Oh yeah, yeah,

1009
01:22:44.199 --> 01:22:47.520
we'll get to that in a second, because yeah, okay, So in

1010
01:22:47.880 --> 01:22:51.720
kind of like the epilogue or whatever, they talk about one of these guys

1011
01:22:51.800 --> 01:22:58.199
going back to the village where Helen
b grew up by the Roman walls,

1012
01:22:58.279 --> 01:23:00.560
and it says, I looked over
the middle where once had stood the older

1013
01:23:00.640 --> 01:23:05.279
temple of the God of the deeps. It was the house where Helen lived.

1014
01:23:08.199 --> 01:23:13.359
And they're talking about a museum in
that town containing Roman remains which have

1015
01:23:13.439 --> 01:23:23.039
been found in the neighborhood, and
a pillar with an ex An inscription to

1016
01:23:23.239 --> 01:23:28.279
the Great God, notings the God
of the Great Deep or abyss labs Selenist

1017
01:23:28.319 --> 01:23:31.119
has erected this pillar on account of
the marriage which he saw beneath the shade.

1018
01:23:31.239 --> 01:23:36.039
What do you make of that?
Well, the inscription reminds me of

1019
01:23:36.239 --> 01:23:43.159
a cipher, you know, and
it's like a coded cipher. And it's

1020
01:23:43.159 --> 01:23:47.600
a monolith. I mean they find
a monolith, right uh, And this

1021
01:23:47.800 --> 01:23:53.079
is you see the same thing walking
into Pan's labyrinth. You see this sort

1022
01:23:53.119 --> 01:23:59.880
of monolith appearing in the in the
at the entrance way, at the entrance

1023
01:24:00.079 --> 01:24:06.760
into the labyrinth, and you see
the same oftentimes in like Nordic or or

1024
01:24:06.960 --> 01:24:11.319
even in I want to I think
it's in the in the Iliad, you

1025
01:24:11.439 --> 01:24:16.039
see you see a monolith or like
some sort of statue or something set up

1026
01:24:16.119 --> 01:24:20.479
that's supposed to be in memoriam for
somebody great. But in this it's it's

1027
01:24:20.720 --> 01:24:26.960
it's the opposite. It's inverted world. Right. And and then we see

1028
01:24:27.760 --> 01:24:30.119
I talked to you beyond the shadows
and of the god pin. You remember

1029
01:24:30.199 --> 01:24:32.760
Mary, She was the mother of
Helen Vaughan, who was born nine months

1030
01:24:32.840 --> 01:24:36.960
after that night, so we know
that it's the child of the what's the

1031
01:24:38.039 --> 01:24:41.399
Christopher Lee movie? Is? Is
it I the Devil one where he's doing

1032
01:24:41.479 --> 01:24:46.680
the ritual? Yeah? Right,
yeah, Human flesh may become the veil

1033
01:24:46.760 --> 01:24:51.319
of horror. One dare not express. Helen Vaughan did was this page seventy

1034
01:24:51.319 --> 01:24:54.880
seven in the middle of Helen Vaughan
did well to bind the quarter about her

1035
01:24:54.920 --> 01:24:58.439
neck and die. That death was
horrible, to black and face the hideous

1036
01:24:58.479 --> 01:25:03.720
form of death. Strange hard that
you witness surprises me but little. And

1037
01:25:03.880 --> 01:25:10.600
now Helen is with her companions dot
dot dot Yeah, in hell, Yeah,

1038
01:25:10.680 --> 01:25:15.000
in hell, she's down there with
Beelza blah. But I suppose I

1039
01:25:15.079 --> 01:25:18.520
wonder why it was so easy for
them to get her to do that.

1040
01:25:19.720 --> 01:25:26.319
They never really said. I guess
maybe life was just too big, she's

1041
01:25:26.399 --> 01:25:29.800
bored of it, or I don't
know, maybe she was tired of humans

1042
01:25:29.880 --> 01:25:31.039
and wanted to go back to Hell. I don't know. Yeah, she

1043
01:25:31.119 --> 01:25:35.560
wanted to pierce the veil back to
her hell world and hang out with her

1044
01:25:35.560 --> 01:25:41.439
ghouls and goblins. Yeah. So
the marriage which she saw beneath the shade,

1045
01:25:42.560 --> 01:25:46.439
I don't know. Does that remind
you of any mystery place? Well,

1046
01:25:47.279 --> 01:25:53.960
I mean, yeah, isn't that. Well, the first thing I

1047
01:25:54.039 --> 01:25:57.840
think of is the nymphs running wild
in the shade in the buccanal right,

1048
01:25:58.520 --> 01:26:04.399
So it's it's an rg y,
isn't it. And of course nymph is

1049
01:26:04.439 --> 01:26:11.239
where we get the word nympho jack
right right, And like we said in

1050
01:26:11.279 --> 01:26:15.000
Alvid, you know Avid pursuing,
you know, the fawns and the sayers

1051
01:26:15.000 --> 01:26:19.239
that pursued this nymph, I guess
in the shade of the shade of the

1052
01:26:19.319 --> 01:26:24.119
Glady River, amazing meandering through the
woodland, you know, and she transforms

1053
01:26:24.159 --> 01:26:29.079
into a read Yeah, can you
imagine reading this in the ladies, you

1054
01:26:29.199 --> 01:26:34.840
know, you'd be like, oh, scandalous sounds just sounds like last night

1055
01:26:35.479 --> 01:26:42.600
Mary Winston salon the same thing.
We just got back from hell Fire Club

1056
01:26:42.760 --> 01:26:46.159
and uh yeah right, yeah.
Benjamin Franklin was there. He loved the

1057
01:26:46.279 --> 01:26:51.119
story. Yeah, hear that story
about Ben Franklin having all those bodies buried

1058
01:26:51.159 --> 01:26:58.520
in his house in London. Yeah, well that was a great god pant

1059
01:26:58.720 --> 01:27:02.680
still some mysterious things in it,
but I think we covered it pretty well.

1060
01:27:02.880 --> 01:27:11.000
It was a really good horror novella. I could see why a lot

1061
01:27:11.039 --> 01:27:17.920
of the horror writers look up to
him. So let's continue down this labyrinth

1062
01:27:18.119 --> 01:27:24.720
spial spiral and talk about Pans Labyrinth
two thousand. Yes, well, there's

1063
01:27:24.800 --> 01:27:29.840
there's There's two things I was gonna
just mention in terms of literary references before

1064
01:27:29.840 --> 01:27:32.800
we get to those, because I
think they're relevant. And one is I'll

1065
01:27:32.840 --> 01:27:35.199
get to this one second, because
it's the Queen mab speech for Rummy and

1066
01:27:35.279 --> 01:27:39.520
Juliet. But the one that I
really wanted to mention to bring into this,

1067
01:27:40.359 --> 01:27:45.560
which might be too esoteric for people
I don't know, but is I'll

1068
01:27:45.600 --> 01:27:51.159
just I'll just summarize the whole thing. Because it's in It's in Ted Hughes.

1069
01:27:51.319 --> 01:27:55.479
It's in Ted Hughes's collected poems.
He has a poem called Pan and

1070
01:27:55.560 --> 01:28:01.399
then another one called Weigi and I
originally found this in the journals of Sylvia

1071
01:28:01.439 --> 01:28:06.359
Plath. And then there's a book
called Winner Pollen, which is by Ted

1072
01:28:06.479 --> 01:28:11.479
Hughes, and this is all of
his Ted Hughes was the poet Laureate.

1073
01:28:12.039 --> 01:28:17.000
He wrote the poem rain Charm for
the Duchy, which was written for the

1074
01:28:17.119 --> 01:28:21.119
new the newly born Prince Harry in
nineteen eighty four. And he was the

1075
01:28:21.199 --> 01:28:24.800
Poet Laurean until nineteen ninety eight when
he died. But he wrote a book

1076
01:28:24.800 --> 01:28:28.359
called Birthday Letters, which was a
kind of a revision of his life with

1077
01:28:28.439 --> 01:28:31.920
Sylvia Plathith Sylvia Plath, it's a
famous American poet who died at age thirty

1078
01:28:31.960 --> 01:28:35.359
two in nineteen sixty three, I
think. But so here's what happened.

1079
01:28:35.399 --> 01:28:40.840
So so so everybody people probably know
about Sylvia Plath, and and now she

1080
01:28:41.000 --> 01:28:44.600
you know, committed s side and
in London. But there's a story that

1081
01:28:44.680 --> 01:28:48.920
I read in her account in her
journals about how Ted Hughes and Sylvia Plath

1082
01:28:49.560 --> 01:28:57.880
were interested in esoterica and the occult, especially Ted Hughes, and and they

1083
01:28:57.880 --> 01:29:01.039
would they started playing around with playing
around with a Wuiji board, and eventually

1084
01:29:02.000 --> 01:29:09.000
they realized they were talking to be
like a being. They weren't just talking

1085
01:29:09.079 --> 01:29:13.199
to nothingness. They were talking to
something with a voice. And of course,

1086
01:29:13.279 --> 01:29:16.439
in true you know, Esoturk fashion, they reached out to ask the

1087
01:29:16.560 --> 01:29:20.880
name of this being, and the
being presented himself as Pan. His name

1088
01:29:20.960 --> 01:29:27.119
was Pan, and Ted Hughes became
obsessed with Pan. And this is like

1089
01:29:27.239 --> 01:29:36.079
the start of Sylvia Plaids downward spiral
into madness and mania. And she says

1090
01:29:36.119 --> 01:29:40.720
that one day they were sitting like
in a glade. I think it was

1091
01:29:40.760 --> 01:29:43.640
in the Lake districts. I think
it was in Cumbria, but they were

1092
01:29:43.680 --> 01:29:45.439
sitting, they were sitting there,
you know, having a good time,

1093
01:29:45.520 --> 01:29:47.880
having a picnic, and she turned
and you know, Ted Hughes turned to

1094
01:29:47.920 --> 01:29:50.000
her. They were married, and
you know, they were loving couple,

1095
01:29:50.119 --> 01:29:54.399
both successful, well, he was
a successful poet at the time. But

1096
01:29:54.479 --> 01:29:57.800
then he turned and then he turned
back, and she said that his eyes

1097
01:29:57.840 --> 01:30:01.439
were black, he had the black
horble eyes of someone possessed, and that

1098
01:30:01.600 --> 01:30:06.039
he grabbed her by the throat and
he strangled her and pushed her down on

1099
01:30:06.079 --> 01:30:09.199
the ground and he was on top, and she thought she was going to

1100
01:30:09.319 --> 01:30:12.239
die. And then at the moment
of death, and she looked up and

1101
01:30:12.319 --> 01:30:14.840
his eyes were black and it wasn't
She said, it wasn't him. And

1102
01:30:14.960 --> 01:30:18.119
then and then right at the moment
of death, he released and then he

1103
01:30:18.279 --> 01:30:21.279
sat back up. And then she
sat back up and turned and looked at

1104
01:30:21.359 --> 01:30:25.239
him and was like, what,
what was that? And he turned and

1105
01:30:25.279 --> 01:30:27.199
he said, Oh, it's a
lovely day we're having. And he was

1106
01:30:27.239 --> 01:30:31.239
a totally different person. And she
said that this terrified her so much that

1107
01:30:31.720 --> 01:30:35.439
she was sure that it was Pan
that did this to her. And it

1108
01:30:35.520 --> 01:30:40.239
makes sense in light of what we
just read, especially in the arboreal setting,

1109
01:30:41.239 --> 01:30:44.000
and she had been obsessed with Pan. In fact, on one of

1110
01:30:44.079 --> 01:30:54.079
her most famous poems is Daddy Poem
Daddy, and she's talking about I won't

1111
01:30:54.119 --> 01:30:56.760
read the whole poem, and I
can't. I can't even read the It's

1112
01:30:56.800 --> 01:30:59.399
a great poem in terms of the
cannon, and I can't. I can't

1113
01:30:59.399 --> 01:31:00.600
even read it. Of some of
the terms in here. It's very it's

1114
01:31:00.680 --> 01:31:03.640
very there's a lot of violence in
the poem, so I can't really read

1115
01:31:03.680 --> 01:31:08.640
it, but there is one part
where she says, on page fifty eight,

1116
01:31:09.239 --> 01:31:13.119
she says, of this of Ariel, which was the Pulitzer Prize in

1117
01:31:13.159 --> 01:31:15.239
the poem, Daddy, and the
stands that She says, you stand in

1118
01:31:15.319 --> 01:31:17.359
the blackboard, Daddy, in the
picture I have of you a cleft in

1119
01:31:17.439 --> 01:31:21.159
your chin instead of your foot.
But no less a devil for that,

1120
01:31:21.439 --> 01:31:25.640
No, not any less. The
black man who bit my pretty red heart

1121
01:31:25.720 --> 01:31:30.319
in two I was ten when they
buried you. So she's which is a

1122
01:31:30.399 --> 01:31:34.279
pan image a cleft foot. He
had a calls some Panzerman panzer man.

1123
01:31:34.359 --> 01:31:38.960
His name was Otto Plath and he
was Austrian. And she sees various,

1124
01:31:39.680 --> 01:31:43.239
you know, allusions to other historical
events that you know, I can't name,

1125
01:31:43.319 --> 01:31:47.000
but but she sees the cleft foot
and she she later goes on at

1126
01:31:47.000 --> 01:31:51.840
the end of the poem, She's
The poem ends with she says, I've

1127
01:31:51.880 --> 01:31:55.560
if I've killed one man, I've
killed two. The vampire who said he

1128
01:31:55.720 --> 01:31:58.319
was you and drank my blood for
a year seven years. If you want

1129
01:31:58.359 --> 01:32:00.399
to know, Daddy, you can
lie back down. Now there's a steak

1130
01:32:00.520 --> 01:32:04.520
in your fat black heart. The
villagers never liked you. They are dancing

1131
01:32:04.600 --> 01:32:09.159
and stamping on you. They always
knew it was you, Daddy, Daddy,

1132
01:32:09.159 --> 01:32:14.760
you bastard. I'm through, she
says, so so seems to be

1133
01:32:14.840 --> 01:32:17.800
a poem of stuff to her.
Yes, some bad some bad stuff happening,

1134
01:32:17.840 --> 01:32:20.720
which is not just I'm not just
saying all this randomly. Obviously that's

1135
01:32:20.720 --> 01:32:25.640
tied in with the Pan imagery that
we've just been reading. Yeah, so

1136
01:32:26.720 --> 01:32:29.680
and the other I won't read this
whole soliloquy, but this is there's a

1137
01:32:29.760 --> 01:32:32.720
lot in terms of what we're gonna
talk about the movies, and I see

1138
01:32:33.600 --> 01:32:39.079
tinker Bell, and we didn't really
talk about tinker Bell that much or Tiger

1139
01:32:39.159 --> 01:32:43.239
Lily because we haven't there's so much
in the Peter Pan book. But Tinkerbell

1140
01:32:43.319 --> 01:32:47.319
is obviously taken from Queen mab which
is in Romeo and Juliet, Act one,

1141
01:32:47.439 --> 01:32:50.560
scene four, when Marcuccio gives his
soloquy. I mentioned this last week,

1142
01:32:50.640 --> 01:32:56.079
but he says, then I see
Queen Mabbeth's been with you. She's

1143
01:32:56.119 --> 01:32:59.079
the Faiy's midwife, and she comes
in shape no bigger than a nagget stone

1144
01:32:59.119 --> 01:33:02.319
on the forefinger of an Alderman drawn
with a team of little adami over men's

1145
01:33:02.359 --> 01:33:05.880
noses as they lie asleep, and
he talks about her wagon spokes made of

1146
01:33:05.960 --> 01:33:10.439
long spinner's legs, the cover of
the wings of grasshopper, her traces of

1147
01:33:10.479 --> 01:33:14.680
the smallest spiderweb, her collars of
the moonstone's watery beams, her whip of

1148
01:33:14.760 --> 01:33:17.119
cricket's bone, the lash of film
or wagon or a small gray coated nat

1149
01:33:17.680 --> 01:33:23.800
So it's an esoterics, you know, soliloquy where he's talking about how in

1150
01:33:23.880 --> 01:33:27.079
the context of me, he's talking
about how Romeo has been asleep and he's

1151
01:33:27.119 --> 01:33:31.960
been seduced by his you know,
his new love for Juliet after rosaline.

1152
01:33:32.399 --> 01:33:38.640
But in terms of like the imagery
of being asleep and overtaken by fairies going

1153
01:33:38.680 --> 01:33:42.600
to another world. And it's a
tiny little fairy who has all these natural

1154
01:33:43.600 --> 01:33:46.920
there's a lot of natural imagery right
with the moonstones and the crickets and the

1155
01:33:47.199 --> 01:33:50.640
and we see that at pants Labyrinth, right where's she says, Oh,

1156
01:33:51.279 --> 01:33:56.279
oh, it's a it's a fairy, but it's like a little like cricket

1157
01:33:56.359 --> 01:33:59.800
grasshopper thing, right, is that
the one where she rides in an acorn

1158
01:34:00.560 --> 01:34:06.000
yeah, remember that. I don't
know why. So there's a lot more.

1159
01:34:06.079 --> 01:34:11.840
I mean, I I found the
Keats poem Japan. There's the Shelley

1160
01:34:11.920 --> 01:34:16.439
poem to Pan. There's Swinburne,
there's Elizabeth Barrett Browning, which talks about

1161
01:34:16.479 --> 01:34:20.760
Pan and Syrinx, and then and
then my favorite, which if we have

1162
01:34:20.880 --> 01:34:25.199
time, I'll get to it.
But my favorite is my favorite poet,

1163
01:34:25.319 --> 01:34:29.119
Arthur Rambau, French poet eighteen fifty
four eighteen ninety one, and he has

1164
01:34:29.319 --> 01:34:33.439
he has multiple poems in his book
Illuminations. He wrote Illuminations and a Season

1165
01:34:33.479 --> 01:34:36.439
and How, which is a kind
of a kind of a Gnostic gospel as

1166
01:34:36.520 --> 01:34:42.479
poem, prose poem, and and
in his collective poems he talks about the

1167
01:34:42.600 --> 01:34:46.720
fawns. He often makes reference to
the fawns in nature. So that's going

1168
01:34:46.800 --> 01:34:49.039
to tie in with what we're about
to talk about, I think. So

1169
01:34:49.279 --> 01:34:55.560
that's so crazy that they were doing
wegi board talking to Pan. Yeah,

1170
01:34:55.960 --> 01:35:01.760
because have you ever heard of a
lady named Tracy Twyman. Okay, so

1171
01:35:02.039 --> 01:35:13.000
she was kind of like a esoteric
researcher in maybe like twenty twelve Fish,

1172
01:35:14.439 --> 01:35:20.840
and she was doing this whole series
about her and the Luigi War talking to

1173
01:35:21.000 --> 01:35:28.680
Baphome, right, and I'm you
know, we met her at conferences,

1174
01:35:28.840 --> 01:35:33.640
we did shows and stuff, so
she was an acquaintance who knew a lot

1175
01:35:33.720 --> 01:35:40.399
about esoteric things. And as soon
as she started doing these channelings of Baphome,

1176
01:35:40.600 --> 01:35:45.960
she called it, things started to
go downhill. And then she died

1177
01:35:47.640 --> 01:35:53.439
mysteriously. And some people don't know
if it was by her own hand or

1178
01:35:53.520 --> 01:35:57.319
what story there, because it was
just so weird, but it had something

1179
01:35:57.359 --> 01:36:01.439
to do with talking to Baphome on
Luigi War. Bad bad news, folks.

1180
01:36:01.960 --> 01:36:08.159
Yeah, please do not try to
contact spirit world with the wei ward.

1181
01:36:08.600 --> 01:36:11.119
This is bad news, folks.
This is not a good first date

1182
01:36:11.239 --> 01:36:15.239
idea. No to contact the Weigi
board. We just watched this horrible movie

1183
01:36:15.359 --> 01:36:21.199
last night about like this hand that
if you shake it then you become possessed.

1184
01:36:21.479 --> 01:36:31.319
And it's like people voluntarily yeah,
admit themselves to these gullies, right,

1185
01:36:31.520 --> 01:36:33.640
yeah, yes, yes, well
that I guess that's the point.

1186
01:36:33.760 --> 01:36:40.159
Right, They're voluntarily walking into it
and asking questions, and and you must

1187
01:36:40.239 --> 01:36:44.640
to say I let you in,
right, right, yes, And I

1188
01:36:44.720 --> 01:36:47.760
suppose it. I suppose it.
A lot of it is determined by your

1189
01:36:48.359 --> 01:36:53.199
belief system and your what do they
call it intentionality? Is that a word?

1190
01:36:54.760 --> 01:36:58.319
But the poem here, I've got
the at the beginning of the poem

1191
01:36:58.359 --> 01:37:01.800
Wigi from Ted use and it's a
long poem, so I'm not going to

1192
01:37:01.840 --> 01:37:08.640
read the whole thing, but he
says, Wuigi always bad news. From

1193
01:37:08.640 --> 01:37:11.960
the Ouiji board. We spelled out
the alphabet fringe the arena of your coffee

1194
01:37:12.000 --> 01:37:14.560
table, with the letters two goals
yes at one end, know it the

1195
01:37:14.600 --> 01:37:17.079
other. Then leaned our middle fingers
lolling on the on the bottom of the

1196
01:37:17.159 --> 01:37:23.000
upturned glass for volity darkening to solemn
apprehension. Respectfully, we summoned a spirit.

1197
01:37:24.199 --> 01:37:27.359
It was easy as fishing for eels
in the warm summer darkness, and

1198
01:37:27.560 --> 01:37:30.640
hardly a minute before the glass begin
and knows that the letters then the circle

1199
01:37:30.720 --> 01:37:35.439
thoughtfully, and some occult pickpocket had
slit the soul's silk and fingered us.

1200
01:37:35.479 --> 01:37:41.119
But we explained it easily. Yeah, And then the poem pan which is

1201
01:37:41.199 --> 01:37:49.000
short. Ted hughes right, and
this is out of his book. Forget

1202
01:37:49.039 --> 01:37:53.880
which book this is out of,
but pant he writes, flowers, flowers,

1203
01:37:54.479 --> 01:38:00.079
open pits of allure, the beast's
glance makes the ghost faint invitation and

1204
01:38:00.119 --> 01:38:03.560
the bird's throat a goblet full wet
mouth and hot under softness where the heart

1205
01:38:03.640 --> 01:38:09.119
struggles at the surface, abandonment of
water, long openings, disheveled silks,

1206
01:38:09.119 --> 01:38:13.000
and nakedness of what resists nothing,
the painful, stiff grace of insects,

1207
01:38:13.079 --> 01:38:16.960
making the stones ache so earthly,
earth, so early earth, in stifled

1208
01:38:17.000 --> 01:38:20.680
convulsion with bellowings, with gas roots
torn up, with life gushing from the

1209
01:38:20.720 --> 01:38:25.800
body, and relief as eye widens
against iye, with death and hot bracket

1210
01:38:25.880 --> 01:38:29.880
and birth under catskins. He yields
her daughters. Now he's actually talking about

1211
01:38:30.239 --> 01:38:33.720
panning, like panning for gold,
because it's yielding up your daughter, you

1212
01:38:33.760 --> 01:38:39.359
know, the gold daughters of the
earth. Right. But it's clearly the

1213
01:38:39.520 --> 01:38:45.520
figurative is clearly talking about pan in
terms of his demon god here. And

1214
01:38:45.760 --> 01:38:48.119
Ted Hughes is an interesting poet because
I mean, I mean, I know,

1215
01:38:48.199 --> 01:38:51.640
I'm talking pretty far into talking about
poetry here, which most people probably

1216
01:38:51.680 --> 01:38:56.159
go home. But but if there's
somebody to if you want to, if

1217
01:38:56.359 --> 01:39:00.520
anybody out there wanted to understand anything
about modern poetry, I would say that

1218
01:39:00.560 --> 01:39:02.359
Ted Hughes is the place to start. I mean, if you can read

1219
01:39:02.520 --> 01:39:10.760
the Hawk and the Rain or Crow
or lupracoll or a wolf watching and they

1220
01:39:10.880 --> 01:39:15.439
read so they read so so easily
because the language is so strong and visceral

1221
01:39:15.920 --> 01:39:20.319
and you know exactly what he's talking
about right away, even though the deeper

1222
01:39:20.399 --> 01:39:27.560
side of it and the subtext is
something so dark and has this dark spiritual

1223
01:39:27.720 --> 01:39:30.840
nature to it. But it's important, I think, to understand it to

1224
01:39:30.920 --> 01:39:34.479
read works like that because it sets
the tone for modern literature, which mirrors

1225
01:39:34.600 --> 01:39:39.159
and and sort of leads the way
for the way that we think in the

1226
01:39:39.199 --> 01:39:43.000
water culture. Well, and also
you just made me think that it's the

1227
01:39:43.079 --> 01:39:50.760
same spirits that are inspiring people throughout
the ages too. Yeah right, yes,

1228
01:39:53.359 --> 01:39:57.319
yeah, absolutely So, so what
should we talk about now, hook,

1229
01:39:59.000 --> 01:40:02.239
let's do Let's go to Spain,
Okay, alright, nineteen forty four

1230
01:40:02.319 --> 01:40:09.159
because this is the same year as
the Peter Pan movie that we talked about

1231
01:40:09.239 --> 01:40:15.439
last time, Pan, which is
the name for their hero and not actually

1232
01:40:15.840 --> 01:40:20.479
it's a title, right like Ward
or something like that. So Spain nineteen

1233
01:40:20.520 --> 01:40:32.039
forty four Fascist step Dad. And
then oh this, I found out the

1234
01:40:32.239 --> 01:40:39.880
fawn in Pan's Labyrinth was inspired by
Garmo del Toro's lucid dreams. We have

1235
01:40:40.560 --> 01:40:43.960
about it. As a child,
he said, at midnight he would wake

1236
01:40:44.079 --> 01:40:49.439
up and find a fawn coming out
from behind a grandfather clock. So this

1237
01:40:49.680 --> 01:40:56.680
thing has been following Germo del Toro
since he was a child. A Laborrinto

1238
01:40:56.800 --> 01:41:01.479
del followed us. Were you able
to find one with English stub titles?

1239
01:41:01.560 --> 01:41:06.119
That wasn't all for me? Yeah? No, I just watched it in

1240
01:41:06.199 --> 01:41:21.720
the in the regular Spanish right,
no better day? I remember that Garcia

1241
01:41:21.840 --> 01:41:28.079
Lorca. Have you been to Spain? Yeah you have? Yeah? Have

1242
01:41:28.199 --> 01:41:30.720
you been to Pan's Labyrinth? No? No, I did the Camino de

1243
01:41:30.840 --> 01:41:36.600
Santiago. Okay, well, I
spent three wild weeks in Spain two thousand

1244
01:41:36.600 --> 01:41:39.960
and four, my last year of
drama school. I flew to Spain for

1245
01:41:40.000 --> 01:41:44.079
three weeks and it was what an
awesome country. It was amazing. It's

1246
01:41:44.159 --> 01:41:53.600
really cool. So in the opening
sequence of this movie, they're talking about

1247
01:41:53.640 --> 01:41:59.399
an underground realm where there's no lies, no pain, and there's a princess

1248
01:41:59.439 --> 01:42:01.840
who dreamt of the human world.
She escaped and forgot where she came from.

1249
01:42:01.920 --> 01:42:11.960
So right off the bat, there's
like persephone imagery coming out m there's

1250
01:42:12.000 --> 01:42:20.399
the whole weird g R O O
M I N G aspect of telling kids

1251
01:42:20.479 --> 01:42:24.079
like, oh, those aren't your
parents. Your real parents are a king

1252
01:42:24.119 --> 01:42:27.720
and queen. I'll take you to
meet them. That is like in a

1253
01:42:27.880 --> 01:42:36.199
lot of kids movies. Right.
Yes, So this little girl she they're

1254
01:42:36.279 --> 01:42:42.239
driving to meet her stepfather, who
was some kind of like fascist colonel or

1255
01:42:42.279 --> 01:42:49.760
whatever general, I don't know what
was it above And on the way there

1256
01:42:50.039 --> 01:42:55.920
she discovers this mysterious monument in the
forest of a fawn with a missing eye.

1257
01:42:57.439 --> 01:43:00.199
So she puts the eye back in
the socket and and this like fairy

1258
01:43:00.279 --> 01:43:05.119
bug appears right, and it was
almost like the things that led up to

1259
01:43:05.239 --> 01:43:11.479
her finding this, we're like set
up, you know. The bug leads

1260
01:43:11.520 --> 01:43:19.479
her to the hillar and this is
just like the monument to notings that we

1261
01:43:19.600 --> 01:43:26.279
were reading about in Great God Pan
book. Yeah, it's interesting also that

1262
01:43:26.319 --> 01:43:29.640
you brought up that it's always a
world where they where they say there's no

1263
01:43:29.760 --> 01:43:34.239
pain, right, which is but
because it's the inverted world, they have

1264
01:43:34.399 --> 01:43:42.319
to sacrifice, you know, make
blood sacrifices and all this stuff and follow

1265
01:43:42.359 --> 01:43:45.880
a series of rituals and go through
the the sequence in order to get there

1266
01:43:46.000 --> 01:43:51.760
instead of you know, instead of
in a in the in a Christian you

1267
01:43:51.840 --> 01:43:58.079
know, in Christianity, which is
in revelation. You know, God will

1268
01:43:58.079 --> 01:44:02.000
wipe away every tear from your eyes. You're ear. You find yourself in

1269
01:44:02.079 --> 01:44:06.640
heaven and there's no more pain.
There's no more sorrow, and there's really

1270
01:44:06.720 --> 01:44:11.079
no pain right because you're with God, the Father, Son, and Holy

1271
01:44:11.119 --> 01:44:15.960
Spirit. Instead of making your way
through this through this terrible series of rituals

1272
01:44:16.000 --> 01:44:19.840
where you're place, yeah, into
the underworld right where oh you know they're

1273
01:44:19.920 --> 01:44:23.640
they're a king and queen and you're
a princess. We told you that even

1274
01:44:23.680 --> 01:44:27.880
though you're surrounded in darkness and there's
a weird fawn demon that's yeah, right

1275
01:44:28.800 --> 01:44:32.239
and yeah, and we'll get to
that in a second. Like she goes

1276
01:44:32.319 --> 01:44:36.640
down to meet the fawn and on
the rock is like the fawn and her

1277
01:44:36.760 --> 01:44:42.399
and a baby. It's kind of
like a weird trinity going on. We'll

1278
01:44:42.439 --> 01:44:47.359
get to that in a second.
So she discovers this and she puts the

1279
01:44:47.399 --> 01:44:53.640
eye in and her initiation can begin, right. Yeah, And this is

1280
01:44:53.760 --> 01:44:56.359
like kind of saying, now she's
going to have the vision to see the

1281
01:44:56.439 --> 01:45:00.239
spirit world. Yeah, they're also
in the car right before that, in

1282
01:45:00.279 --> 01:45:03.039
the car going through the woods in
a caravan, right, and the and

1283
01:45:03.079 --> 01:45:05.760
her mother tells her, when you
meet the captain, I'll refer to him

1284
01:45:05.760 --> 01:45:10.039
as father. So her f she
has the lost fathers. You don't know

1285
01:45:10.039 --> 01:45:12.239
where her father is, but this
guy's going to be your new father,

1286
01:45:12.560 --> 01:45:17.039
which is which is interesting. He
died, right, So that's where her

1287
01:45:17.279 --> 01:45:21.680
father is in the underworld now,
right. And for the folks at home,

1288
01:45:21.720 --> 01:45:24.359
of course, the movie takes it, like we were just saying,

1289
01:45:24.439 --> 01:45:27.359
takes place. You know, this
is the Spanish Civil War in nineteen thirty

1290
01:45:27.399 --> 01:45:29.800
six to nineteen forty five. It's
like nineteen forty four, I think,

1291
01:45:29.880 --> 01:45:32.600
is what you said. And they're
in the mountains, you know, fighting

1292
01:45:32.680 --> 01:45:40.039
the rebels, and it's funny how
the it's funny how the Phalangists are fighting

1293
01:45:40.079 --> 01:45:45.680
in pristine uniforms. Oh yeah,
right, where did you get that?

1294
01:45:45.279 --> 01:45:49.159
Right? And weren't they also fighting
in World War two? Or were they

1295
01:45:49.239 --> 01:45:53.079
just doing their own things? Well, it was, it was. It

1296
01:45:53.239 --> 01:45:57.520
was parallel with World War two.
And of course there's the I saw I

1297
01:45:57.560 --> 01:46:03.520
saw Picasso's Guernica, which is everybody
seen the Cubist painting of when Hotler sent

1298
01:46:03.640 --> 01:46:10.760
the Condor Legion over as a taskron
to bomb city of Garenica right in Spain.

1299
01:46:10.920 --> 01:46:14.840
But that that was like the extent
of their That was the extent of

1300
01:46:14.920 --> 01:46:17.960
their overt involvement in War two,
so it was parallel, but they weren't

1301
01:46:18.000 --> 01:46:25.000
involved with the greater war on the
continent, even though it mimics that.

1302
01:46:25.079 --> 01:46:28.159
It mirrors that in a number of
ways because you have fascist versus a communist

1303
01:46:28.239 --> 01:46:34.960
and so forth. Right, So
the captain Vidall, he is the archetype

1304
01:46:35.159 --> 01:46:42.439
of Saturn and time because he's always
carrying around that watch, remember, right,

1305
01:46:43.399 --> 01:46:50.640
So we're tying this back into Capricorn
again with the time pieces, and

1306
01:46:51.560 --> 01:46:56.159
he was like obsessed with the time
of his father's death. So that's Saturn

1307
01:46:56.239 --> 01:47:04.399
again. And the little girl when
she gets to the property where she's supposed

1308
01:47:04.439 --> 01:47:10.640
to be staying, she follows the
pair the fairy under the arch of Pan

1309
01:47:11.039 --> 01:47:15.600
down the spiral staircase. So here's
the spirals again. And we all know

1310
01:47:15.960 --> 01:47:28.479
about the FBI that they put out
right that identifies child predators, and the

1311
01:47:28.560 --> 01:47:32.039
biggest one is a spiral. And
then you've got a spiral triangle, and

1312
01:47:32.159 --> 01:47:36.960
you've got a butterflies on there.
I've believe like some kind of spiral heart

1313
01:47:38.279 --> 01:47:43.800
or like a heart within a heart. Yeah. So these are the identifying

1314
01:47:45.359 --> 01:47:51.680
symbols that they use to know each
other in the wild child predators, Yeah,

1315
01:47:51.760 --> 01:47:59.119
glyphs and sigils of the creeperist,
evil, most ghoulish people. Yeah,

1316
01:48:00.479 --> 01:48:04.439
so you're gonna see spirals all over
this movie. And of course the

1317
01:48:04.520 --> 01:48:09.720
fawn tells her she's a princess and
her real father has opened portals all over

1318
01:48:09.840 --> 01:48:15.399
the world so she could return.
Oh yeah, I forgot about that because

1319
01:48:15.399 --> 01:48:18.800
I thought of Donnie Darka. Have
you ever seen a portal? Yeah?

1320
01:48:19.439 --> 01:48:24.760
So yeah, opening portals all over
the world. And don't you think that

1321
01:48:24.960 --> 01:48:29.960
freaking fawn was like the creepiest thing. And she's not even phased at all,

1322
01:48:30.319 --> 01:48:34.479
right, which says yeah, which
says it's something to me about Guillermo

1323
01:48:34.560 --> 01:48:41.479
del Toro's like artistic vision, right, is that the things that I think

1324
01:48:41.520 --> 01:48:47.640
probably normal people find repugnant and disconcerting
and gross. You would automatically if you

1325
01:48:47.760 --> 01:48:50.760
if you see that, or if
you see even if you see it in

1326
01:48:50.800 --> 01:48:55.800
any other you know, work,
you automatically you run away or you are

1327
01:48:55.880 --> 01:49:00.000
you This is not good. Just
the physiognomy of this fawn, because it's

1328
01:49:00.039 --> 01:49:03.319
not a fawn like in mythology,
even where it's like, oh, they're

1329
01:49:03.600 --> 01:49:10.880
at least they're pleasant creatures halfway cute, like mister Tumnus, Right, he's

1330
01:49:10.920 --> 01:49:18.159
like totally demonically yeah. And his
ears hello, yeah he does. He

1331
01:49:18.279 --> 01:49:23.079
has firals on his head. Yes, yes, yes he did. Yeah,

1332
01:49:24.920 --> 01:49:32.199
okay, so creepy uh fawd man
Oh says she is born of the

1333
01:49:32.319 --> 01:49:40.680
Moon and the king of the underworld. Right, and Moon is if we're

1334
01:49:40.760 --> 01:49:46.640
following Salima and Oto and those kind
of symbols, moon is Babylon, right,

1335
01:49:46.760 --> 01:49:54.840
the counterpart to Horace. This book
talks all about lunar symbolism. That

1336
01:49:55.239 --> 01:49:59.439
Alister Crowley book talks about the rights
of Luna. And then and then of

1337
01:49:59.520 --> 01:50:03.119
course, i'll it's metamorphosis talks about
the passage. Right before that is talking

1338
01:50:03.159 --> 01:50:12.479
about Diana. So Diana Artemis,
you know in the Woods, Syrinx is

1339
01:50:12.560 --> 01:50:15.399
compared to Diana the way she holds
up her dress when she's hunting. So

1340
01:50:15.560 --> 01:50:20.359
was she a moon child? Yeah, yeah, I mean she just said

1341
01:50:20.479 --> 01:50:24.399
child of the Moon, born of
the Moon and the King of the underworld.

1342
01:50:25.600 --> 01:50:28.479
And then he goes on to give
her the Book of the Crossroads.

1343
01:50:29.640 --> 01:50:33.640
Surprise, Surprise, how and and
buon Thugs at Harmon He started playing see

1344
01:50:33.640 --> 01:50:40.600
you at the cross Roads, and
it's a blank book. It's a blank

1345
01:50:40.680 --> 01:50:44.800
book with blank pages that her Psyche
writes in ink on the page to determine

1346
01:50:44.880 --> 01:50:47.760
the through three stages of the process. Does she have to go through three?

1347
01:50:47.960 --> 01:50:53.720
Just three stages? Are you trying
to see quest? Three quests?

1348
01:50:53.760 --> 01:50:57.720
Before the moon is full? You
were trying to remember the words to the

1349
01:50:57.720 --> 01:51:03.560
bone thugs long, You can't remember
the words? Can't here. I'm gonna

1350
01:51:03.560 --> 01:51:06.319
miss it, everybody. I'm gonna
miss it, and i'm gonna miss seven

1351
01:51:06.439 --> 01:51:12.039
money and I'm gonna miss seven ninety
Yeah, living in a hateful worlds,

1352
01:51:12.159 --> 01:51:16.600
let me straight to head. Hell, I'm gonna a wonderful day and with

1353
01:51:16.720 --> 01:51:19.600
my minds. The first of the
buns, smoking, joking, rolling blunts,

1354
01:51:19.600 --> 01:51:24.039
it's enough ounces again. Wow,
we got the busting. Wow.

1355
01:51:24.359 --> 01:51:27.359
All nights we high. We got
the buds. And when it's ninety nine,

1356
01:51:27.560 --> 01:51:30.079
I get and play, y'all what
you need? We got weed?

1357
01:51:30.319 --> 01:51:33.279
Yeah. When we pray and we
pray you and we pray. Yeah,

1358
01:51:36.439 --> 01:51:41.920
okay, okay, So we talked
about the cross was all the time.

1359
01:51:42.560 --> 01:51:45.239
This is a super ancient thing,
going by way back to the first cities

1360
01:51:45.279 --> 01:51:49.960
Mesopotamia where they would meet with the
gods in the Zigaratte that is known as

1361
01:51:50.119 --> 01:51:57.359
the meeting point or the crossroads,
and then go all the way to Robert

1362
01:51:57.399 --> 01:52:00.079
Shawson and the beginning of Rock and
Ball where he sells his soul to the

1363
01:52:00.159 --> 01:52:04.399
devil at the crossroads. So whenever
you see crossroads symbolism, this is going

1364
01:52:04.520 --> 01:52:12.319
to be talking about meeting the devil
at the very least meeting the spirit world

1365
01:52:12.439 --> 01:52:15.560
or whatever is on the other side. So the crossroads is the meaning point

1366
01:52:15.680 --> 01:52:20.439
between the mundane world and spirit world. Yeah. Eric Clapton's biography, he's

1367
01:52:21.000 --> 01:52:29.279
he's got the Crossroads, the Crossroads
rehab clinic, and then voodoo. Obviously

1368
01:52:29.359 --> 01:52:33.600
crossroads a huge and voodoo. So
that's perfect little gift to give a little

1369
01:52:33.640 --> 01:52:41.479
girl, I think from a demon
underground YouTube book of the Crossroads. That's

1370
01:52:41.840 --> 01:52:47.840
innocent. But I did notice in
one scene where she goes on her first

1371
01:52:48.000 --> 01:52:54.720
quest, she's dressed like Alison Wonderland. Did you notice that she goes into

1372
01:52:54.800 --> 01:52:59.119
the tree just like Alison Wonderland.
She goes into the roots of the Big

1373
01:52:59.199 --> 01:53:05.359
Tree, which is passageways to Wonderland
the other side Neverland. Yeah, and

1374
01:53:05.399 --> 01:53:10.239
they do that in Peter Pan as
well. Remember they Peter fits the tree

1375
01:53:10.399 --> 01:53:15.479
around the Lost Boys so that they
can descend into their underground underworld hovel.

1376
01:53:15.479 --> 01:53:19.079
You know, I mean, she's
obviously liked this because the context of the

1377
01:53:19.119 --> 01:53:24.920
movie makes it so that she has
this other world because number one, she's

1378
01:53:24.920 --> 01:53:27.159
a child and she's naturally going to
go play in the woods and she's going

1379
01:53:27.199 --> 01:53:30.600
to have her imagination world. But
but it's it's tempered by the fact that

1380
01:53:30.880 --> 01:53:34.520
number one, they're in the middle
of a literal war. So going out

1381
01:53:34.560 --> 01:53:38.279
into the woods is dangerous because it
becomes a war zone. In the film,

1382
01:53:38.399 --> 01:53:41.359
it becomes a war zone, and
because there's a war zone in her

1383
01:53:41.399 --> 01:53:45.520
heart with her missing father and her
mother taking her up there to the to

1384
01:53:45.640 --> 01:53:47.000
this man, and then there's a
war zone in terms of the way that

1385
01:53:47.079 --> 01:53:55.840
he, the father guy, makes
war on her, right, I mean

1386
01:53:56.760 --> 01:53:59.760
literally what happens in the in the
film. You know, she's a she's

1387
01:53:59.800 --> 01:54:03.439
a victim of like three types of
war, and so of course she goes

1388
01:54:03.479 --> 01:54:06.800
out into the she has this other
world where her imagination takes her, and

1389
01:54:06.920 --> 01:54:14.000
that becomes her new world and it
takes over I mean, well the thing,

1390
01:54:14.239 --> 01:54:16.720
the thing with the root right like
screaming in the in the fireplace,

1391
01:54:16.800 --> 01:54:23.680
which will get to right, she's
creating like these magic these magic totems right

1392
01:54:23.800 --> 01:54:30.119
for the birth of her baby brother, where she's melding the spirit world and

1393
01:54:30.239 --> 01:54:33.720
the natural world and not natural world, not just naturalistic, but like the

1394
01:54:33.840 --> 01:54:41.279
natural fauna and flora right of the
of the the labyrinthine world outside. So

1395
01:54:41.399 --> 01:54:45.000
it makes her, it makes her, It splits her right into this personality

1396
01:54:45.039 --> 01:54:48.039
where she doesn't know what's real and
what's not, I guess is the point

1397
01:54:48.079 --> 01:54:56.720
of the film. Yeah, and
the book has like foreshadowing too, so

1398
01:54:57.079 --> 01:55:00.000
like you said, it comes from
her own psyche. And there's a scene

1399
01:55:00.119 --> 01:55:02.479
where she opens it up and there's
nothing on the page, but then it

1400
01:55:02.560 --> 01:55:06.960
starts to like bleed. Yeah,
and that's like the night that her mom

1401
01:55:08.800 --> 01:55:14.159
died in childbirth, right, Yeah, it bleeds it, It bleeds inky

1402
01:55:14.239 --> 01:55:18.640
black on the page, just like
the mockin book was talking about, right

1403
01:55:18.800 --> 01:55:26.920
exactly. So the second thing that
she has to do for the demon Funness

1404
01:55:27.039 --> 01:55:30.359
Underground is go see the Paleman.
Oh my gosh, this is the worst

1405
01:55:30.439 --> 01:55:36.319
part. That's probably the most memorable
creature of the movie because he is super

1406
01:55:38.000 --> 01:55:45.960
creepy. He's like disgusting. He's
uh, soggy, He's he's soggy,

1407
01:55:46.239 --> 01:55:57.760
Yes, he is. He's grow
Yeah, and he you know, depictions

1408
01:55:57.800 --> 01:56:02.239
of him eating children look a lot
like Goya's chronos. They do. Yeah,

1409
01:56:02.399 --> 01:56:08.239
I'm sure that was purposeful. Yeah. And so she has to make

1410
01:56:08.399 --> 01:56:12.720
a portal in her room with a
chalk, just like a circle or spell,

1411
01:56:12.880 --> 01:56:17.920
and then she is in his layer
and she has to steal something from

1412
01:56:17.960 --> 01:56:21.239
him with it. Yeah. Yeah, she creates a door in the dark

1413
01:56:21.399 --> 01:56:25.720
or a portal, just like in
Beetle Juice, you know, a door

1414
01:56:25.960 --> 01:56:29.720
into the other world or back to
the real world. But yeah, this

1415
01:56:30.039 --> 01:56:32.439
that that one scene is why,
you know, honestly, I never I

1416
01:56:32.520 --> 01:56:40.119
avoided this movie for so many years
because I just it's just so what's the

1417
01:56:40.199 --> 01:56:45.760
word not vascular, It's so like
it's it's an unsettling movie. And I

1418
01:56:45.079 --> 01:56:48.960
also avoided Hook, but for different
reasons. I know we're gonna get to

1419
01:56:49.000 --> 01:56:54.600
Hook later, but like, I
just really don't like that movie at all.

1420
01:56:54.840 --> 01:56:57.600
I cannot stand in that movie.
But it's for different than this,

1421
01:56:57.720 --> 01:57:03.199
which is like the overt just gross
fantasmic gia. Yeah, yeah, it's

1422
01:57:03.279 --> 01:57:09.479
visceral phantasmagoria straight from Guillermo's like twisted
you know, child mind or whatever.

1423
01:57:10.840 --> 01:57:15.720
But yeah, every night out coming
out from behind your grandfather clock, how

1424
01:57:15.720 --> 01:57:19.720
would you grow up normally? Right, they're waking up like the creek creek,

1425
01:57:19.920 --> 01:57:23.159
right, and he's got to put
the eyeballs in his hands. And

1426
01:57:23.279 --> 01:57:27.000
the when the fairies are circling around
his head and he's eating you know,

1427
01:57:27.119 --> 01:57:30.479
like you were just saying the Corono's
imagery of eating the fair it's just oh

1428
01:57:30.560 --> 01:57:33.920
my gosh. And then chasing her
down the labyrinth like halls and you're like,

1429
01:57:34.000 --> 01:57:38.439
oh my god, please make this
doorway into the sea to get out

1430
01:57:38.479 --> 01:57:43.720
of here. You just gave me
chills again. Yes, So the test

1431
01:57:44.000 --> 01:57:49.680
was she wasn't supposed to eat anything
from his table because they wanted to know

1432
01:57:49.880 --> 01:57:55.600
that she did not have any attachments
to the physical world, because they were

1433
01:57:55.640 --> 01:57:59.079
trying to bring her into the spirit
wall and she has to be able to

1434
01:57:59.199 --> 01:58:01.159
let go of all that. That
part was so annoying. It's like,

1435
01:58:02.079 --> 01:58:06.000
don't eat the pomegranate, right,
I mean, and you're going and she

1436
01:58:06.439 --> 01:58:11.079
she picks the grapes, right,
so she's don't eat the pomegranate, don't

1437
01:58:11.359 --> 01:58:15.199
don't taste of the app you don't
pluck the apple off the tree, just

1438
01:58:15.439 --> 01:58:17.960
don't do it. Then it's like
she eats it and like savors it,

1439
01:58:18.039 --> 01:58:21.279
and the fairies are like literally like, don't do it, don't do it,

1440
01:58:21.359 --> 01:58:24.720
and she's like swatting them away,
and you're like, oh my gosh,

1441
01:58:25.000 --> 01:58:28.399
you kind of lose sympathy at that
point. Oh totally. It's like

1442
01:58:28.680 --> 01:58:31.720
it's ridiculous because he literally said,
like five minutes ago, whatever you do,

1443
01:58:32.319 --> 01:58:34.720
don't eat anything, and she's like, oh, I'm just gonna eat

1444
01:58:34.800 --> 01:58:39.600
something, right, And they got
food up in that cabin. Yeah,

1445
01:58:39.800 --> 01:58:43.479
right, you know they're eating there. What do they you know they got

1446
01:58:43.520 --> 01:58:46.880
top us up there, right,
don't eat don't eat the damn grape.

1447
01:58:47.079 --> 01:58:50.880
Don't eat the damn grape. When
the skin man is at the head of

1448
01:58:50.920 --> 01:58:54.479
the table right there, Why would
you eat the food? I know it's

1449
01:58:54.520 --> 01:58:58.520
so gross, and but it is
very much like eve. It is a

1450
01:58:58.640 --> 01:59:05.560
plantation of eves. So she fell
and she awakened. The child eater is

1451
01:59:05.600 --> 01:59:10.560
that what they call him? They
call him the paleman? Right, But

1452
01:59:10.720 --> 01:59:13.760
He's like, yeah, yeah,
he's a child. What is it in

1453
01:59:13.840 --> 01:59:17.159
Spanish? I'm gonna look at up
real quick. I'm sure it's much more

1454
01:59:17.279 --> 01:59:23.279
lyrical. So Ophelia gets into temptation. Oh and her name comes from Shakespeare

1455
01:59:23.319 --> 01:59:27.840
too, so there's another Yeah,
that's it does. Yeah. Oh,

1456
01:59:28.000 --> 01:59:30.760
speaking of which, I'm in the
middle of her. I don't know if

1457
01:59:30.800 --> 01:59:35.920
it's a hurricane hurricane Ophelia right now
sink roal, Yeah, and I think

1458
01:59:35.960 --> 01:59:42.840
of Hamlet's Ophelia or Jim Morrison's Ophelia
leaves sodden and silk chlorine, dream mad,

1459
01:59:42.920 --> 01:59:45.680
stifled, witness the angel man finally
claims benevolent soul. Yeah, so,

1460
01:59:47.000 --> 01:59:51.720
so it's she's Ophelia in the movie, which is already foreshadowing us sad

1461
01:59:54.119 --> 02:00:00.600
ending for her. It's different than
Ophelia and Hamlet. So then what happens?

1462
02:00:00.680 --> 02:00:08.600
Then the baby's born mother dies in
childbirth, and the surprise the stepfather

1463
02:00:08.760 --> 02:00:15.880
is a heartless Yeah, general or
captain who just wants a male descendant,

1464
02:00:16.199 --> 02:00:21.279
right right. They they did flesh
out his character a little bit, like

1465
02:00:21.359 --> 02:00:27.039
he didn't even care about the mom, right because at that dinner scene,

1466
02:00:27.079 --> 02:00:30.479
the mom was trying to tell him
their romantic story and he's like shut up

1467
02:00:30.600 --> 02:00:34.720
or whatever. He just totally invalidated
her. Yeah, in front of everybody.

1468
02:00:34.840 --> 02:00:40.640
What can you see? Yeah,
yeah, it's nasty, says he's

1469
02:00:40.680 --> 02:00:47.399
a pale skinned humanoid monster by a
lambre bylo or something. He's gone.

1470
02:00:50.520 --> 02:00:57.840
But yeah, so the mother is
a vast yes, yes, Americano non

baby, and he's like, he's like,

1474
02:01:13.840 --> 02:01:16.159
basically like, don't let it be
anything other than that. Yeah,

1475
02:01:16.479 --> 02:01:20.520
and he actually that's oh that's right. Yeah right, He's like, what

1476
02:01:20.600 --> 02:01:24.600
if it's a girl with me?
Yeah, oh my gosh, yes,

don't yeah yeah, don't with this
guy, right, dude, Well he

1478
02:01:28.159 --> 02:01:33.640
did to the Mountain people who really
disturbing talk about scenes that you just like

1479
02:01:33.800 --> 02:01:39.960
cannot yeah body, body shock,
horror where and it's literally, I mean

1480
02:01:40.000 --> 02:01:43.760
he caves in the guy's face.
Yeah right, So, which plays into

1481
02:01:44.520 --> 02:01:46.760
you know, with the mac and
book, right, because it's always about

1482
02:01:46.760 --> 02:01:51.680
the facial expression, and he he
destroys the guy's face is even his very

1483
02:01:51.720 --> 02:01:56.000
appearance and the guy's dad is right
there and he's like, you killed my

1484
02:01:56.119 --> 02:01:58.359
son, and then he kills the
dad and then but he does you know

1485
02:01:58.439 --> 02:02:00.359
he's gonna do that, do whmember
he comes across, and then he's got

1486
02:02:00.439 --> 02:02:03.840
his faithful minions, right. But
then there's the one guy who screws it

1487
02:02:03.920 --> 02:02:06.079
up and he's like, don't screw
it up again. And if you're that

1488
02:02:06.159 --> 02:02:10.880
guy, you're like, oh my
gosh, like, yeah, don't mess

1489
02:02:10.920 --> 02:02:13.239
with this guy. He was like, next time, don't bother me with

1490
02:02:13.359 --> 02:02:15.760
stupid stuff, right, I won't. He's in there, he's in there,

1491
02:02:15.800 --> 02:02:21.319
he's got his he's shaving, right. Everything everything he does is I

1492
02:02:21.359 --> 02:02:25.159
mean, this guy plays a good
bad guy, right, he is you

1493
02:02:25.319 --> 02:02:30.319
really fear this guy. I mean
he's every motion that he does is like

1494
02:02:30.600 --> 02:02:35.960
full of maniacal lethality. It's like
the guy could be eating right and he's

1495
02:02:36.000 --> 02:02:41.279
like, yeah, reaches for the
glass of water, right, Like is

1496
02:02:41.319 --> 02:02:45.039
he going for a gun? Yeah. He's very suspenseful and intense, like

1497
02:02:45.239 --> 02:02:47.800
that one guy I can't remember his
name in the Tarantino movie who played the

1498
02:02:47.880 --> 02:02:53.399
Nazi at the beginning. Yeah,
he's very intentional with all of it.

1499
02:02:53.520 --> 02:03:01.760
And it's scary. Yeah. So
the third west was it to bring him

1500
02:03:01.800 --> 02:03:08.239
the baby? Right? So what
everyone wants this little male child. Yeah,

1501
02:03:08.920 --> 02:03:14.600
and the fawn shows Ophelia the sculpture
of him and her and her holding

1502
02:03:14.640 --> 02:03:19.479
the baby, yeah, which I
don't know it is supposed to be like

1503
02:03:19.560 --> 02:03:25.079
a family tree or just her bringing
him the sacrifice. But she brings the

1504
02:03:25.199 --> 02:03:29.479
baby to him, but then she
won't give the baby to him, right,

1505
02:03:29.720 --> 02:03:33.239
right, right, so she kind
of has a repentance at the end.

1506
02:03:33.720 --> 02:03:38.439
Was this when the so before that
is when she got the root,

1507
02:03:39.439 --> 02:03:42.520
right, there's like a there's like
a root shrub thing, and she gave

1508
02:03:43.479 --> 02:03:47.479
root to put drake, yeah,
to put underneath the mom's bed so she

1509
02:03:47.600 --> 02:03:53.960
wouldn't have like pain in the pregnancy. And then the dad burned the man

1510
02:03:54.079 --> 02:03:57.920
drake, and that's when the mom
died in Tobbart. So it's man dragara,

1511
02:03:58.000 --> 02:04:00.119
as Shakespeare says, and the man
drake, I mean, you know

1512
02:04:00.199 --> 02:04:03.960
more about this, but the man
drake is not only a kind of a

1513
02:04:04.039 --> 02:04:10.960
narcotic route used in the Renaissance,
but also is full of It's supposed to

1514
02:04:11.039 --> 02:04:15.319
bleed when you pull it out of
the earth. And and then when of

1515
02:04:15.439 --> 02:04:19.680
course the dad the man. The
captain finds it under the bed, which

1516
02:04:19.760 --> 02:04:24.640
is actually clever in the in the
movie that they did that, because that

1517
02:04:24.920 --> 02:04:30.680
is that that is you know,
that does convey like the actual actions of

1518
02:04:30.560 --> 02:04:35.720
I mean, like the Nordics did
this. I know this is a practice

1519
02:04:35.720 --> 02:04:39.680
like a witchcraft, like putting something
under the bed, especially when someone's giving

1520
02:04:39.720 --> 02:04:42.720
birth, because it's near to the
person and it's mimicking the baby in the

1521
02:04:42.800 --> 02:04:45.439
first place. And then he throws
it in the fire and you see it

1522
02:04:45.520 --> 02:04:48.199
screaming and wriggling. It's horrible.
So yeah, that she takes so the

1523
02:04:48.239 --> 02:04:51.399
baby is born. But then but
he also says like he says to the

1524
02:04:51.479 --> 02:04:55.199
doctor, and the doctor is the
most noble character in this right because the

1525
02:04:55.279 --> 02:05:01.640
doctor is treating the rebels, but
he's also has to treat the the captain,

1526
02:05:02.439 --> 02:05:06.079
and we know that he's giving I
don't know what he's giving her.

1527
02:05:06.119 --> 02:05:10.000
I guess he's giving her like opium
or laudnum, something for the pain.

1528
02:05:10.640 --> 02:05:12.520
And then he gives one of the
guys who's tortured, you know, he

1529
02:05:12.520 --> 02:05:14.960
gives him a tincture, he gives
him an injection so that he won't feel

1530
02:05:14.960 --> 02:05:17.199
the pain. And then you know, we know that he's working with the

1531
02:05:17.359 --> 02:05:21.560
maid or whatever in the house too. He's some sort of a not a

1532
02:05:21.640 --> 02:05:26.359
double agent, but he's working for
both regardless of he knows he's probably gonna

1533
02:05:26.359 --> 02:05:30.439
die, you know. But the
baby's born, and he said the captain

1534
02:05:30.520 --> 02:05:33.399
says to the doctor, if it's
a choice between the mother and the baby,

1535
02:05:33.640 --> 02:05:38.560
save the baby, right. And
Ophelia hears this, And then when

1536
02:05:38.600 --> 02:05:41.840
the baby's born, she takes the
baby yeah, into the labyrinth and gives

1537
02:05:41.880 --> 02:05:45.840
it to the f And then of
course we have him, we have him

1538
02:05:45.880 --> 02:05:48.800
angry with her before that. Right, why would I told you not to

1539
02:05:48.960 --> 02:05:55.119
do this or whatever? I give
you a second chance, right, and

1540
02:05:55.319 --> 02:05:58.319
he and then so she so she
is that when she takes it down and

1541
02:05:58.359 --> 02:06:01.920
then into it like a stone circle
that literally has a spiral in the stone

1542
02:06:01.960 --> 02:06:04.840
circle, and he meets the she
meets the fawn there, yeah, and

1543
02:06:04.920 --> 02:06:11.119
he like wants some baby blood,
yes, and she says no, yeah,

1544
02:06:11.199 --> 02:06:15.920
And she's smart enough to know that
he's probably lying in terms of what

1545
02:06:15.039 --> 02:06:17.159
he wants. He says, oh, it would be just a little brick

1546
02:06:17.199 --> 02:06:23.399
and just a little and she knows
that he's probably lying. And that's when

1547
02:06:23.479 --> 02:06:26.279
the captain appears. Is that when
the captain appears in the circle. Yeah,

1548
02:06:26.960 --> 02:06:30.960
and the captain can't see the fawn. That's right. Now we are

1549
02:06:31.039 --> 02:06:36.920
wondering if this girl's having a breakdown
or it's all in her imagination, or

1550
02:06:38.199 --> 02:06:42.399
she can see things that the adults
can't. So it's not really explained.

1551
02:06:42.600 --> 02:06:46.600
But the movie has the darkest of
all endings. Does He's also got a

1552
02:06:46.680 --> 02:06:53.000
joker smile. I forgot about that
part where she the maid cuts him in

1553
02:06:53.039 --> 02:06:56.119
the mouth and he's and he sews
it up. Yeah, so he's got

1554
02:06:56.239 --> 02:07:00.680
a a weird distorted like demonic smile
cut into his face. But yes,

1555
02:07:00.800 --> 02:07:09.840
the dark ending. Yeah, and
then she ends up through dying, ends

1556
02:07:09.920 --> 02:07:14.520
up beingcoming the Queen of the underworld, right, right, or the princess.

1557
02:07:14.680 --> 02:07:17.399
She meets her mom and her dad. So so the Ewoks, the

1558
02:07:17.520 --> 02:07:23.079
Ewoks come out of the woods and
endor and sends circle circle Darth Vader,

1559
02:07:23.640 --> 02:07:26.920
Yeah, and shoot him in the
head, and the care Bears come and

1560
02:07:27.039 --> 02:07:32.119
they shoot down with their care bear
stairs of love and it was happy.

1561
02:07:33.079 --> 02:07:40.239
Yeah, And then she transcends into
the underworld. So so her journey is

1562
02:07:40.319 --> 02:07:44.560
complete. I suppose what a dark
movie. It is really dark, very

1563
02:07:44.680 --> 02:07:50.560
dark and on point with everything that
we have been discussing. Yeah, because

1564
02:07:50.680 --> 02:07:57.039
Pan is the taker, He's the
giver and the taker of life and death,

1565
02:07:57.199 --> 02:08:03.800
very Shiva character. Also, yeah, else and it's and it's Peter

1566
02:08:03.920 --> 02:08:09.880
Pan, you know, because she's
a child. She's going on a you

1567
02:08:09.960 --> 02:08:16.039
know, metaphysical journey outside of the
territory of her home, searching for something

1568
02:08:16.119 --> 02:08:20.279
else, searching for searching for a
neverland in the underworld, I suppose.

1569
02:08:20.640 --> 02:08:28.319
Yeah. Yeah, And it's always
you know, maidens on the cusp of

1570
02:08:30.000 --> 02:08:35.560
womanhood right right right at the age
where they would begin their minstreating or whatever

1571
02:08:35.840 --> 02:08:41.600
and becoming of age to learn about
sexual things. So that is when Pan

1572
02:08:41.880 --> 02:08:46.439
pounces and funny, this one Goya. The Goya Award is the Spanish It's

1573
02:08:46.479 --> 02:08:50.720
like the Spanish oscars. That one
really Yeah, when the Goya Award,

1574
02:08:52.159 --> 02:08:56.119
of course it is too. Yeah, all right, let's talk about Peter

1575
02:08:56.239 --> 02:09:01.039
Pan and Windy. Okay, this
one in there for you guys. Extra

1576
02:09:01.199 --> 02:09:09.359
little nugget twenty twenty three. Peter
Pan and Wendy is the live action remake

1577
02:09:09.560 --> 02:09:16.199
of the nineteen fifty three cartoon Walt
Disney. Peter Yeah, not awesome.

1578
02:09:16.079 --> 02:09:22.359
What did you think well, there
were things about this that creeped me out,

1579
02:09:22.520 --> 02:09:26.840
namely Peter Pan. He was creepy. He was really well at all,

1580
02:09:26.359 --> 02:09:30.960
totally unlikable and really creep me.
And it's it's strange to say that

1581
02:09:31.000 --> 02:09:33.479
because of the you know, the
age of the person who plays Peter Pan.

1582
02:09:33.520 --> 02:09:35.960
I don't want to be too harsh, but I mean it really did

1583
02:09:35.079 --> 02:09:39.119
give me the creeps because he's not
likable and because of everything he says in

1584
02:09:39.159 --> 02:09:41.079
the way that he said. I
don't want to say too much, but

1585
02:09:41.159 --> 02:09:46.239
if you watch the movie, you
would know immediately. You know, Hello,

1586
02:09:48.239 --> 02:09:50.479
I don't even want to imitate Hello. I mean hit to scape your

1587
02:09:50.560 --> 02:09:54.920
window, I mean hit to tike
you from your window, and you're like,

1588
02:09:54.039 --> 02:10:00.319
oh no, this is it.
Yeah. And Tiger Lily is a

1589
02:10:00.760 --> 02:10:03.680
much bigger role in this. Yep. I like the girl who plays Tiger

1590
02:10:03.720 --> 02:10:07.079
Lily. I thought she was I
always liked the Tiger Lily character, even

1591
02:10:07.159 --> 02:10:09.720
in the cartoon. I thought she
was real cute. Yeah. Well,

1592
02:10:11.000 --> 02:10:13.680
one thing I meant to bring up
also is that is the stuff with the

1593
02:10:13.720 --> 02:10:16.600
weird stuff in real life with Tiger
Lily. Remember, Tiger Lily is the

1594
02:10:16.680 --> 02:10:20.479
daughter of Michael Hutchins. And Paul
Yates, Michael Hudgins from NXSS. Yeah,

1595
02:10:22.079 --> 02:10:24.880
and remember he died in the same
way that we were talking about with

1596
02:10:26.199 --> 02:10:30.720
Robin Williams and the other people.
Oh yeah, and she is the adopted

1597
02:10:30.800 --> 02:10:37.640
daughter of Bob Geldolf and Bob Geldoff
supposedly there's some there's some Bob Geldoff Jeff

1598
02:10:37.640 --> 02:10:43.960
Steime McCaffrey connection. Wasn't the girl
in the Next sim Orto? Yes,

1599
02:10:45.239 --> 02:10:48.359
so Peaches Geldoff, who's the daughter
of Bob Geldoff. She died of a

1600
02:10:48.840 --> 02:10:52.840
heroin o'd and she was in that. She had a Nextium tattoo. Okay,

1601
02:10:54.159 --> 02:10:56.920
and she was in Oto. Okay. What is what I read?

1602
02:10:58.079 --> 02:11:00.880
I used to read. It's funny
because you know, I used to read

1603
02:11:00.880 --> 02:11:03.560
a lot of before Internet, I
guess I used to read a lot of

1604
02:11:03.600 --> 02:11:05.760
magazine. You know. I'd read
music magazines and music reviews just anywhere.

1605
02:11:05.880 --> 02:11:09.960
And she wrote a lot of good
music reviews for that for Nylon. Remember

1606
02:11:11.079 --> 02:11:13.680
Nylon magazine. It's like a it's
like a woman's fashion magazine. But they

1607
02:11:13.760 --> 02:11:18.000
had good music interviews in it.
And I remember her talking about Calm Trus,

1608
02:11:20.920 --> 02:11:24.119
you know. And now I'm not
talking about Tom Komb the actual calm

1609
02:11:24.199 --> 02:11:28.600
Trus that you know, synth musician. But anyway, she she uh,

1610
02:11:30.479 --> 02:11:31.880
you know, was it like a
big presence in Hollywood, I suppose,

1611
02:11:31.920 --> 02:11:35.000
and wrote, you know, fairly
decent articles and stuff about music. But

1612
02:11:35.079 --> 02:11:37.760
then I remember that she had they
said she had an oto tattoo. I

1613
02:11:37.800 --> 02:11:39.960
don't know what the truth of that
is. Maybe it was just something somebody

1614
02:11:39.960 --> 02:11:43.439
said in an article, but was
also had something to do with nextium and

1615
02:11:43.479 --> 02:11:48.600
then died suddenly, right, and
she's I guess she would be the adopted

1616
02:11:48.880 --> 02:11:56.600
half sister or whatever of Tiger Lily. And that's interesting because of how Tiger

1617
02:11:56.680 --> 02:12:03.399
Lily is portrayed. Tiger Lily,
by the way is portrayed in US specifically,

1618
02:12:05.079 --> 02:12:07.000
there's a lot in the book.
I mean, the descriptions of Tiger

1619
02:12:07.039 --> 02:12:18.800
Lily in Peter Pan the book are
it's surprising because oh God, I'm never

1620
02:12:18.880 --> 02:12:20.479
I'm never gonna be able to find
it. But the descriptions of Tiger Lily

1621
02:12:20.600 --> 02:12:26.840
in here in this Peter Pan book
are there's a lot of innuendo, like

1622
02:12:26.960 --> 02:12:31.039
the way that she's dressed. God, I wish I could find the actual

1623
02:12:31.119 --> 02:12:35.159
quote, the way that she's actually
dressed and the way that they describe her,

1624
02:12:35.279 --> 02:12:37.920
like with her low cut, you
know, outfit, and that she's

1625
02:12:39.479 --> 02:12:43.920
I'll just I'll just sum it up
by saying that they portray her fairly accurately

1626
02:12:43.960 --> 02:12:48.479
in this Peter Pan and Wendy,
where she's kind of you know, she's

1627
02:12:48.520 --> 02:12:52.920
a The actress she plays her in
this is like in her twenty you know,

1628
02:12:52.000 --> 02:12:54.920
mid to late twenties or something is
supposed to be a you know,

1629
02:12:56.039 --> 02:12:58.119
it's like she's a native because she's
she plays an Indian, you know,

1630
02:12:58.399 --> 02:13:01.000
in Peter Has what they call her, and she's you know, kind of

1631
02:13:01.039 --> 02:13:05.880
sexy in the movie, and then
she saves Peter Pitch, so she's an

1632
02:13:05.880 --> 02:13:09.199
outside character from the rest of it, which is interesting because the rest of

1633
02:13:09.239 --> 02:13:13.920
it is like we get Captain Hook, who's a who's grown, and then

1634
02:13:13.960 --> 02:13:16.039
we get Peter Pan and them their
their children, and then we get Tiger

1635
02:13:16.119 --> 02:13:20.520
Lily, who's supposed to be you
know, a grown who's grown. So

1636
02:13:22.319 --> 02:13:28.079
right, yeah, right, But
I thought that overall this movie was interesting

1637
02:13:28.159 --> 02:13:31.119
because they did something different with Captain
Hook, which is kind of like people

1638
02:13:31.199 --> 02:13:35.960
talk about how Captain Hook is seeing
you know people, it's theorized that captain

1639
02:13:37.000 --> 02:13:43.159
Hook is a former lost boy,
right, and in this they really go

1640
02:13:43.319 --> 02:13:46.319
with that all the way. I
mean, Jude Law is a he becomes

1641
02:13:46.439 --> 02:13:50.199
he's not likable because he's a villain, right, he know, but but

1642
02:13:50.319 --> 02:13:52.279
there's something in his eyes. And
then the resolution of the movie, which

1643
02:13:52.319 --> 02:13:58.600
is that he's saved. He's saved
by Peter Pan and not to spoiler alert,

1644
02:13:58.279 --> 02:14:01.720
but he's saved by Peter Pan,
and that he's a sympathetic character.

1645
02:14:01.840 --> 02:14:05.600
He's in pain, right, yeah, well, yeah, he has like

1646
02:14:05.720 --> 02:14:18.640
his villain origin, yeah, seen
in this So yeah, this takes place

1647
02:14:18.920 --> 02:14:28.159
in Edwardy in England, and the
Disney movie was a nineteen fifty three movie.

1648
02:14:28.640 --> 02:14:37.159
Yes, and I noticed something.
M it's Wendy's last night at home

1649
02:14:37.279 --> 02:14:41.399
as a child. So in a
cartoon they don't really make a big deal

1650
02:14:41.439 --> 02:14:43.520
about this, they just say it's
Whendy's last night in the nursery. But

1651
02:14:43.760 --> 02:14:48.039
in this one, she's really having
a hard time with like having to go

1652
02:14:48.159 --> 02:14:54.159
to boarding school and it's her last
night at home, and so her wish

1653
02:14:54.159 --> 02:15:01.640
is actually kind of what summons Peter
Pant right, right, yes, And

1654
02:15:03.079 --> 02:15:09.079
so he comes in the nursery and
tinker Bell's there, and she looks different,

1655
02:15:09.119 --> 02:15:15.439
yes right, yes, yes,
I know, yes, yes different.

1656
02:15:16.279 --> 02:15:20.399
And this is so crazy because I
knew that. You know that scene

1657
02:15:20.560 --> 02:15:24.520
in the cartoon where she is trying
to see if she's going to fit through

1658
02:15:24.560 --> 02:15:31.520
a little hole and she measures her
hips, remember that, I looked it

1659
02:15:31.600 --> 02:15:35.840
up because I knew it looked familiar. And it was also in a marathon

1660
02:15:35.960 --> 02:15:43.560
in Rowe movie which which one gentlemen
prefer blonde? Okay, nineteen fifty three,

1661
02:15:43.680 --> 02:15:46.680
so same year. I don't know
who did it first, but Marilyn

1662
02:15:46.840 --> 02:15:50.000
wrote measures her hips just like that
to see if she can fit through a

1663
02:15:50.039 --> 02:15:54.760
porthole and a ship, just exactly
like tinker Bell, and the movies were

1664
02:15:54.800 --> 02:15:56.840
made of this one. Well Disney
was like, we're gonna put this in

1665
02:15:56.880 --> 02:16:03.880
all the movies. So I didn't
catch this ever, But tinker Bell is

1666
02:16:03.920 --> 02:16:07.399
the only reason that any of them
can fly, Peter p f Lie without

1667
02:16:07.479 --> 02:16:11.760
her, right right, yeah,
So she's the one that is like always

1668
02:16:11.800 --> 02:16:20.800
coming in clutch and saving everybody,
and even in this movie, well that's

1669
02:16:20.880 --> 02:16:24.479
like in the that's like in what's
the one we did last week? Oh

1670
02:16:24.520 --> 02:16:31.079
pan, where they're mining for fairy
dust draino inside the you know, pineal

1671
02:16:31.200 --> 02:16:37.879
mountain or whatever, and so yeah, just of immortality. Yeah, and

1672
02:16:39.040 --> 02:16:43.559
her her it must be that her
love is just like they can fly by

1673
02:16:43.639 --> 02:16:46.959
thinking good thoughts. I guess her
love is what keeps her alive and flying

1674
02:16:48.360 --> 02:16:52.680
and passes on to the others.
Claps. Wasn't there something about if you

1675
02:16:52.799 --> 02:16:54.479
clap, you bring them back to
life? They didn't put that in this

1676
02:16:54.600 --> 02:17:03.559
one, but there's always something about
breathing, clapping and hears. So I

1677
02:17:03.719 --> 02:17:07.760
noticed when in the first scene when
they all go to bed, it's tinker

1678
02:17:07.840 --> 02:17:13.000
Bell that comes in to the bedroom
and sprinkles Wendy in the bed and Wendy

1679
02:17:13.159 --> 02:17:18.239
floats out of the bed like Exorcists. That wasn't in the first Yeah.

1680
02:17:18.959 --> 02:17:22.440
Yeah, So, like you were
saying, Wendy, it's different than this

1681
02:17:22.479 --> 02:17:28.559
one because we get a different We
get a sort of a revisionist context on

1682
02:17:28.760 --> 02:17:33.440
Edwardy in England, right, So
instead of the window being open and Peter

1683
02:17:33.600 --> 02:17:39.600
coming in and searching for a shadow, instead we get Wendy going off to

1684
02:17:39.760 --> 02:17:43.000
school, which is it's usually the
boys that would be going off to boarding

1685
02:17:43.000 --> 02:17:46.200
school, but I suppose she's going
off to school to learn how to be

1686
02:17:46.399 --> 02:17:48.479
like her mother. Remember, and
she says, I didn't want what if

1687
02:17:48.520 --> 02:17:52.680
I don't what if I don't want
to be like you? Mother? Yeah,

1688
02:17:52.000 --> 02:17:56.680
you're a gray little winka. She
and her mother's like, okay,

1689
02:17:58.600 --> 02:18:01.719
all right, it's fine. Yeah, And she has her little shait.

1690
02:18:01.799 --> 02:18:05.639
She fights with her brothers. Right, she breaks the mirror. I forgot

1691
02:18:05.719 --> 02:18:07.959
her the breaking of the mirror.
You know. Nana's in the room and

1692
02:18:07.000 --> 02:18:09.719
the father comes in, Oh,
why don't you ever grow up, Wendy,

1693
02:18:11.280 --> 02:18:13.879
And she goes and she so she
breaks the mirror. That wakes them

1694
02:18:15.000 --> 02:18:18.559
up. That's the that's the start
sort of the genesis of what is going

1695
02:18:18.600 --> 02:18:22.360
to become her flying away. But
then she goes and she hides behind the

1696
02:18:22.479 --> 02:18:26.360
veil in her room, and then
tinker Bell comes in. It sprinkles,

1697
02:18:26.399 --> 02:18:28.600
the fairy does. Also, it's
interesting that this is I think this is

1698
02:18:28.639 --> 02:18:33.440
the only one where tinker Bell doesn't
speak, which is interesting. It's like,

1699
02:18:33.520 --> 02:18:35.479
if they're gonna do what they did, but then they're not gonna they're

1700
02:18:35.479 --> 02:18:39.559
gonna take away her voice in the
movie. That seems a little odd right

1701
02:18:39.680 --> 02:18:43.280
in their paradon, that they're going
to do that with the recasting of tinker

1702
02:18:43.319 --> 02:18:48.200
Bell. And yeah, then she
then we when do we meet Peter?

1703
02:18:50.040 --> 02:18:52.239
He comes in right after her.
So I was gonna say, so she's

1704
02:18:52.280 --> 02:18:56.920
floating out the bed like Exorcist.
Yeah, and this is something that I

1705
02:18:56.040 --> 02:19:03.879
mentioned a couple of shows ago in
reference to a Beyonce music video calls Dreams.

1706
02:19:03.280 --> 02:19:09.319
In the beginning, she Oh Dub
comes and floats above Beyonce and she

1707
02:19:09.479 --> 02:19:15.840
floats out of the bed like she's
possessed or something. And that's when I

1708
02:19:15.959 --> 02:19:20.920
was showing you this about how the
dove in the oto. Yeah. So

1709
02:19:20.120 --> 02:19:26.040
all that symbolism they're using Beyonce,
they use it on Wendy, right,

1710
02:19:26.840 --> 02:19:31.360
And here again we have girls coming
of age, perfect time to have a

1711
02:19:31.760 --> 02:19:43.479
visitation by Pan, right, and
he comes in and takes her away because

1712
02:19:43.520 --> 02:19:48.440
she doesn't want to grow up yet, and they fly out the window through

1713
02:19:48.479 --> 02:19:52.559
a portal that happens to be big
Ben h Did you catch that? Yeah,

1714
02:19:52.639 --> 02:19:58.159
through the through the clock, Yeah, just like just like Pan emerges

1715
02:19:58.239 --> 02:20:03.319
from behind the clock and Garam model
Toro's Hellish Night Night Visions. Yes,

1716
02:20:03.799 --> 02:20:13.799
and just how we've seen the theme
of time and watches and Saturn throughout all

1717
02:20:13.840 --> 02:20:18.040
of the things we were talking about. The time portal okay, uh so,

1718
02:20:18.239 --> 02:20:22.200
and he says, we're gonna go
to Neverland where you can be yourself.

1719
02:20:22.600 --> 02:20:26.840
So where have you heard stuff like
that before? Everywhere? Now?

1720
02:20:26.399 --> 02:20:31.799
Yeah, right, himself in the
Yeah. And he's got he's got his

1721
02:20:31.319 --> 02:20:35.040
he's got he's kind of advanced from
the squeaky voice that you've talked about in

1722
02:20:35.120 --> 02:20:43.399
so many others. Hello, Hello, I can't do it. He's got

1723
02:20:43.440 --> 02:20:50.840
a squeaky voice. And she notices
after they go through Big Ben through the

1724
02:20:50.920 --> 02:20:54.799
portal, it's it becomes the upside
down world like streaming, and she sees

1725
02:20:54.879 --> 02:21:01.120
her reflection and everything is top se
trvy that came up in parts of the

1726
02:21:01.200 --> 02:21:05.559
Caribbean too, And y'all are doing
it. Y'all are doing parts of the

1727
02:21:05.559 --> 02:21:11.239
Caribbean tomorrow mega stream, mega stream. Yeah, I suppose. So this

1728
02:21:11.399 --> 02:21:13.559
is supposed to be her flying backwards
through time, right, going back to

1729
02:21:13.639 --> 02:21:16.479
her innocence when she could be in
Neverland. She doesn't want to grow up,

1730
02:21:16.799 --> 02:21:24.840
right. Yeah. However, when
they get to Neverland and a couple

1731
02:21:24.840 --> 02:21:31.799
of scenes, you can see Saturn
in the sky from the earth of Neverland.

1732
02:21:31.840 --> 02:21:35.920
Did you notice that, right?
Yeah? And was it this one

1733
02:21:37.040 --> 02:21:41.760
that I thought? I mean,
hook is more. I see a lot

1734
02:21:41.799 --> 02:21:48.200
of Jeff Stein McCaffrey island in Hook. Okay, this one was slightly different

1735
02:21:48.520 --> 02:21:52.159
because we don't see a do we
see a vision of it flying downwards and

1736
02:21:52.239 --> 02:21:54.159
we see the island. No,
we didn't know, not in this one.

1737
02:21:56.319 --> 02:22:01.840
But yes, yes, Saturn in
the sky. Of course, this

1738
02:22:01.079 --> 02:22:07.239
movie is so ridiculous. Dude,
with me a minute to figure out whose

1739
02:22:07.239 --> 02:22:11.559
captain Hook was. Jude Law.
He's not. Yeah, he's coming since

1740
02:22:11.399 --> 02:22:18.159
that sex spot in the Spielberg movie, remember, yes, yeah, in

1741
02:22:18.239 --> 02:22:22.879
Ai. Yeah, yeah, So
what do you think about? What do

1742
02:22:22.920 --> 02:22:28.920
you think about Jude Law? He's
I don't know. What do you mean?

1743
02:22:28.959 --> 02:22:35.479
I don't know? He he uh
when he was filming Cold Mountain,

1744
02:22:35.520 --> 02:22:39.239
I'm still thistling my channel before.
But we had a tape of him.

1745
02:22:41.159 --> 02:22:46.360
We had a VHS tape of him
because when he was filming Cold Mountain,

1746
02:22:46.520 --> 02:22:50.319
he was in Charleston and he was
at a bar and he met my friend

1747
02:22:50.559 --> 02:22:56.399
and his like fraternity brothers, and
they went back to his house for a

1748
02:22:56.440 --> 02:23:00.479
party, and and my friend had
a cam quarter and just set it up

1749
02:23:00.520 --> 02:23:03.559
on top of the TV and just
pressed record, and there's like an hour

1750
02:23:03.719 --> 02:23:07.600
of footage of just chew Law like
sitting on the sofa talking everybody, and

1751
02:23:07.639 --> 02:23:11.799
he's it's funny because he's hitting on
one of my friends at the time.

1752
02:23:11.840 --> 02:23:16.840
But he was married to Sadie Frost
at the time. And during during this

1753
02:23:18.920 --> 02:23:22.920
when this was happening, it got
into late night and one of their friends

1754
02:23:22.000 --> 02:23:24.920
like walked he was in I don't
want to stay too much for he was

1755
02:23:24.959 --> 02:23:31.079
in a room with a girl and
he walked out and and you can hear

1756
02:23:31.200 --> 02:23:33.879
him walk out of the room and
they go, hey, Jude Laws here

1757
02:23:33.920 --> 02:23:37.399
and he goes, who fuck is
that man? Give me a beer?

1758
02:23:39.319 --> 02:23:43.120
And he totally jud Laws like what
this guy to know me? And he

1759
02:23:43.280 --> 02:23:50.920
walks back in shut the door.
But yeah, I thought Jude Law was

1760
02:23:50.959 --> 02:23:56.159
interesting in this because you know a
lot of the Captain hooks that we see,

1761
02:23:56.840 --> 02:24:01.120
like with Dusty Mothman is totally is
totally creepy to me and just is

1762
02:24:01.920 --> 02:24:03.360
just creepy. But Judelaw, when
I was watching this, I thought,

1763
02:24:05.040 --> 02:24:09.239
there's something in this makes this guy
likable, Like he like he he doesn't,

1764
02:24:11.040 --> 02:24:13.280
I don't, I don't want to. I don't know a person's heart,

1765
02:24:13.319 --> 02:24:15.520
whether he has love in his heart, but he seemed to be more

1766
02:24:15.639 --> 02:24:18.959
normal. If that makes any sense
when I was watching it, I don't

1767
02:24:18.000 --> 02:24:20.959
know if that's just me reading into
the movie. You're supposed to have a

1768
02:24:22.000 --> 02:24:26.879
little sympathy for him, right,
right, he'd hit up two different colored

1769
02:24:26.959 --> 02:24:28.760
eyes. I noticed he did.
He did. Yes, he had a

1770
02:24:28.840 --> 02:24:33.399
he had a left had a left
eye marble of glass eye. And there

1771
02:24:33.520 --> 02:24:39.120
was a scene where well he had
black hair and then he got all wet

1772
02:24:39.200 --> 02:24:43.280
and his like hair dyved, dripping. So they're saying he's trying to fight

1773
02:24:43.760 --> 02:24:48.239
aging. Still maybe right, So
Hook, he there's a scene where his

1774
02:24:48.639 --> 02:24:52.000
wig comes all the way off and
he says, Priest, provide me with

1775
02:24:52.079 --> 02:24:54.239
a little dignity. But in this
one, I guess it was the hair

1776
02:24:54.319 --> 02:24:58.719
dye. And also his hook was
on a different hand. In this he

1777
02:24:58.840 --> 02:25:03.959
had he had the hook on his
he got the hook hand. Yeah,

1778
02:25:05.239 --> 02:25:18.680
so Jim Gaffigan is me yeah,
right, yeah, And come to find

1779
02:25:18.719 --> 02:25:26.200
out Hook, We'll remember we were
talking about fan theories and that Hook was

1780
02:25:26.239 --> 02:25:31.280
the lost boy, right, so
this is part of the movie. Now,

1781
02:25:31.680 --> 02:25:33.360
Yes, that's the movie, and
they made it Cannon, Yes,

1782
02:25:35.360 --> 02:25:39.479
and now Hook was the first lost
boy, but grown ups were evil.

1783
02:25:39.799 --> 02:25:46.360
He tried to escape Neverland because he
missed his mom and he was picked up

1784
02:25:46.360 --> 02:25:50.239
by pirates and brought back to Nemberland. And that's when they started fighting with

1785
02:25:50.360 --> 02:25:52.520
Peter. Yeah, and Peter.
It says that Peter made him leave,

1786
02:25:54.120 --> 02:25:56.719
right, and that what he said
Peter made him made him leave, wouldn't

1787
02:25:56.760 --> 02:26:00.319
come back. And then and then
later in the movie, that's it's sort

1788
02:26:00.319 --> 02:26:05.079
of the climax of the movie because
Peter returns and apologizes. He says,

1789
02:26:05.120 --> 02:26:09.440
I'm sorry for it wasn't a good
friend to you. And then and then

1790
02:26:09.479 --> 02:26:11.760
he's about to fall off the mass
of the ship and he says, think

1791
02:26:11.840 --> 02:26:16.000
good thoughts, and then Jude Law
says, I don't have any, and

1792
02:26:16.040 --> 02:26:20.879
then falls into the water, all
sad he doesn't have any good thoughts.

1793
02:26:22.360 --> 02:26:28.559
Fourteen right, It's it's funny how
he turned. He goes from being a

1794
02:26:28.600 --> 02:26:35.040
little boy raised by the pirates to
like growing up and being their tyrant and

1795
02:26:35.120 --> 02:26:39.159
they all follow him like, how
did that? Well, I suppose it

1796
02:26:39.200 --> 02:26:46.559
would be the story of Annakin Skywalker, Oh yeah, very much is Yeah,

1797
02:26:46.680 --> 02:26:50.399
going from the beloved you know,
right hand man of Obi Wan right

1798
02:26:52.520 --> 02:26:56.559
into becoming the worst, the worst
of the bad guys. Of course,

1799
02:26:56.600 --> 02:27:00.360
he's not a pirate on solo is
the pirate, but but becoming the worst

1800
02:27:00.360 --> 02:27:03.079
of the bad guys. Right,
you did say something when you were texting

1801
02:27:03.159 --> 02:27:05.920
me, you were like, order
sixty six, execute Order sixty six because

1802
02:27:05.959 --> 02:27:11.280
he did do that. He like
ordered the children to be executed. Yeah,

1803
02:27:11.120 --> 02:27:16.600
which is what Anakin does in was
it in the second one attack of

1804
02:27:16.639 --> 02:27:20.399
the Clones he goes back into the
temple. Yeah, and you know issues

1805
02:27:20.520 --> 02:27:24.319
Order sixty six eradicates all of the
Jedi kids. Yeah, it was that

1806
02:27:24.360 --> 02:27:28.559
a weird that they included that line. Yeah, issue Order sixty six.

1807
02:27:28.600 --> 02:27:37.360
I mean, you know sixty six
is right. The so hook has an

1808
02:27:37.399 --> 02:27:43.239
origin story just like Anakin. Tinkerbelt
again the real MVP. She helps Wendy

1809
02:27:43.479 --> 02:27:50.159
escape walking the plank and Wendy flies
up and they're like he has the boys

1810
02:27:50.239 --> 02:27:56.520
magic and Wendy's like this magic is
from no boy. So there's some like

1811
02:27:56.159 --> 02:28:01.360
uh, strong woman talk that's right
in this with Tinkerbell and Wendy teaming up.

1812
02:28:01.520 --> 02:28:09.280
And when Peter's not there yet,
right walking the walking the plank to

1813
02:28:09.440 --> 02:28:13.000
jump into the chasm, right into
the abyss, but I didn't hear a

1814
02:28:13.040 --> 02:28:18.680
splash right then he splash and then
she the whole ship floats because of artic

1815
02:28:18.959 --> 02:28:24.440
tinkerbell magic. Also, the sea
shanties in this were of note the lyrics

1816
02:28:24.479 --> 02:28:31.079
to the The movie was directed by
David Lowry, not David Lowry from Richmond,

1817
02:28:31.159 --> 02:28:33.879
Virginia, who was part of the
band Cracker. Hey Hey, Hey

1818
02:28:35.200 --> 02:28:39.079
like me, It's don't that's on
from the nineties. It's a different David

1819
02:28:39.120 --> 02:28:43.200
Lowry who in Camper van Beethoven as
his other band. But David Lowry who

1820
02:28:43.239 --> 02:28:46.639
directed The Green Knight last year.
Have you seen his reboot of The Green

1821
02:28:46.719 --> 02:28:54.079
Knight. It's twenty of course it's
an eight twenty four movie. But yeah,

1822
02:28:54.120 --> 02:29:00.479
So the ship floats and that's when
Peter Pan appears. Peter has lost

1823
02:29:00.520 --> 02:29:07.719
his ability to fly as well because
he Pixie does right right so, But

1824
02:29:07.879 --> 02:29:13.760
but who ends up happening helping him
is Tiger Lily with their native native spirit,

1825
02:29:13.520 --> 02:29:18.520
riding on the white Horse, and
then he does an extreme jump off

1826
02:29:18.600 --> 02:29:22.760
of the cliff onto the ship,
tears into it with his little sword,

1827
02:29:22.959 --> 02:29:28.879
right yeah, and then befriends Captain
hook or issues this call of friendship rather

1828
02:29:28.920 --> 02:29:37.520
than fighting him, which is interesting
an interesting revision of the whole thing and

1829
02:29:37.000 --> 02:29:41.159
redemption arc for both of them.
That's right, Yeah, And I mean

1830
02:29:41.280 --> 02:29:45.000
it ends on a positive note,
right, It ends on a they're probably

1831
02:29:45.000 --> 02:29:50.719
hoping for a sequel. Well,
it ends they take the Lost Boys back.

1832
02:29:50.799 --> 02:29:54.760
Okay, So they have to flip
the ship because they're in the mirror

1833
02:29:54.840 --> 02:29:58.840
world or the tide down or universe
b as they like to call it in

1834
02:30:00.040 --> 02:30:05.399
and esoterica, just like in Powers
of the Caribbean, how they get out

1835
02:30:05.559 --> 02:30:11.399
of the Spirit dolder Room world.
They have to flip the ship opposite and

1836
02:30:11.520 --> 02:30:16.760
they all go back home and the
Darlings adopt all the lost boys. Oh

1837
02:30:16.079 --> 02:30:22.959
did you notice one of the Lost
boys was a slowboy? Yes, the

1838
02:30:22.079 --> 02:30:26.280
Down Syndroom Like, yes, it
was the first starring role for a beautiful

1839
02:30:26.280 --> 02:30:31.159
slowboy in a Disney phone. I
don't mind it, Yeah, I didn't

1840
02:30:31.200 --> 02:30:35.360
mind it. I mean, one
thing I had to say about people with

1841
02:30:35.520 --> 02:30:41.239
Down syndrome is like one time I
was watching reality TV, just flipping through

1842
02:30:41.280 --> 02:30:45.600
the channels at the hotel, and
there was this reality show about people down

1843
02:30:45.639 --> 02:30:48.159
Syndroom and how they get along and
stuff. And I watched this whole thing

1844
02:30:48.280 --> 02:30:54.280
and their relationships and their responsibility and
how they thought about life, like they

1845
02:30:54.360 --> 02:30:58.440
were more based and smart than any
other person I've ever seen in a reality

1846
02:30:58.479 --> 02:31:03.319
TV show. Yeah, well,
in all seriously, I mean yeah,

1847
02:31:03.319 --> 02:31:05.000
and in all seriousness, I mean
Shane Gillis makes a good point that they're

1848
02:31:05.079 --> 02:31:11.959
closer to God, right they are. They live in a I'm not trying

1849
02:31:11.000 --> 02:31:18.719
to paint a broad picture here,
but just to say that uttered I know

1850
02:31:18.840 --> 02:31:24.239
that they're we're talking about complex human
beings, but a sense of joy and

1851
02:31:24.319 --> 02:31:28.520
innocence that is lost in the average
adult, right. So, but it

1852
02:31:28.680 --> 02:31:33.799
just blew me away. Like if
you're flipping channels and you see people acting

1853
02:31:33.920 --> 02:31:41.760
crazy and you know they're not our
word, then this show full of people

1854
02:31:41.799 --> 02:31:48.840
who are and they're so mature and
they're so responsible and they're so well spoken,

1855
02:31:48.079 --> 02:31:52.760
and you know they're they're breaking up
and they're just like hugging and being

1856
02:31:52.799 --> 02:31:54.479
like, it's not it's not the
best, you know, and then next

1857
02:31:54.600 --> 02:32:01.799
channel people are. It's just a
really weird contrast between who you see on

1858
02:32:01.920 --> 02:32:07.600
reality TV who's not don't have downson
room. Then you flip channels, then

1859
02:32:07.600 --> 02:32:11.719
you get to Below Deck Mediterranean.
Yeah, like Real Housewise, where they're

1860
02:32:11.719 --> 02:32:18.559
tearing up the place and stopping and
throwing. It was a weird contrast.

1861
02:32:18.360 --> 02:32:26.399
Okay, so beautiful slowboys and Peter
Pan. They find out that Peter used

1862
02:32:26.440 --> 02:32:30.719
to live there at the Darling's house
and that's why he kept coming back,

1863
02:32:31.840 --> 02:32:35.680
Yeah, to Wendy's house. And
then he still doesn't want to grow up,

1864
02:32:35.959 --> 02:32:41.440
so he floats off to never Never
Land. And there's a kind of

1865
02:32:41.440 --> 02:32:48.799
an epilogue right where where Captain Hook
has surfaced, right and Sme is there,

1866
02:32:48.959 --> 02:32:52.319
Jim Gaffkin, Look, we survived. And then they look up and

1867
02:32:52.440 --> 02:32:54.200
the ship floats out of the clouds
and they look up and there's Peter Pan

1868
02:32:54.280 --> 02:32:58.879
above him to save him. Yep, he returns for Captain Hook. So

1869
02:32:58.319 --> 02:33:03.159
yeah, so it was an interesting
movie. I mean, Mila Jovish's daughter

1870
02:33:05.159 --> 02:33:13.280
really really Wendy really that's really really
yeah interesting. It looked just like her

1871
02:33:13.520 --> 02:33:16.440
now that I think about it.
Yeah, it was. Oh and one

1872
02:33:16.479 --> 02:33:26.520
more thing before we go into your
favorite Hook. What was I gonna says

1873
02:33:26.600 --> 02:33:33.239
kidding late? Oh, Wendy is
also the name of a like a title

1874
02:33:33.360 --> 02:33:37.319
like, She's all Wendy. Did
you notice that? Oh she's all right?

1875
02:33:37.440 --> 02:33:41.440
Yeah in the film, Yes,
yes, she's a Wendy. She's

1876
02:33:41.520 --> 02:33:45.680
a Wendy figure. She becomes an
archetype in their world exactly, so Anne

1877
02:33:45.680 --> 02:33:48.360
and the last one was an archetype. Good thing, She's not a Wendy

1878
02:33:48.440 --> 02:34:03.600
go Yeah, alright, so so
Hook should we go on? Yes?

1879
02:34:07.959 --> 02:34:16.520
Okay, so now least your favorite? Yeah Hook. Gosh, I really

1880
02:34:16.600 --> 02:34:24.040
don't like this movie, Doese Mockman, Maggie Smith, Gwyneth Paltrow, what

1881
02:34:24.239 --> 02:34:30.520
is she? Gwyneth Paltrow plays the
young Wendy young Maggie Smith. It's her.

1882
02:34:30.600 --> 02:34:35.959
It's one of her first film roles. And and Gwyneth Paltrow's godfather is

1883
02:34:35.520 --> 02:34:41.440
Steven Spielberg. Remember he gave her
away in marriage. Also, Jimmy Buffett,

1884
02:34:41.879 --> 02:34:48.159
David Crosby, Glenn Close, Phil
Collins is in this all in cameo

1885
02:34:48.319 --> 02:34:52.600
roles. And the movie is of
course it has the John Williams score,

1886
02:34:52.639 --> 02:34:58.079
which does all the heavy lifting in
this movie. But it's produced. Do

1887
02:34:58.120 --> 02:35:01.319
you know who the producer was,
Dodi al Fayette. Uh yeah, wow,

1888
02:35:05.079 --> 02:35:07.079
I didn't know he was the movies
at all. Yeah, he produced,

1889
02:35:07.079 --> 02:35:11.159
He was the producer. And it
was also written by the guy who

1890
02:35:11.879 --> 02:35:18.120
of all things. I did an
analysis of The Last starfighterh nineteen eighty four

1891
02:35:18.200 --> 02:35:20.920
movie, and the writer or the
director of that movie is one of the

1892
02:35:22.000 --> 02:35:26.000
writers of this movie. So if
you don't know, Dodi Alphayed is the

1893
02:35:26.680 --> 02:35:31.559
owner of Herod's the father of Princess
Diana's boyfriend. What was his name,

1894
02:35:31.920 --> 02:35:37.600
Muhammad alf Yeah, so he was
the father of the person who died along

1895
02:35:37.719 --> 02:35:43.680
with Diana in the cars who continued
to say that there was a c spiracy

1896
02:35:45.000 --> 02:35:48.360
with Diana's death. He died,
He died recently. He died like I

1897
02:35:48.440 --> 02:35:50.719
think he did. He died this
year. I think he died recently.

1898
02:35:52.639 --> 02:35:58.959
So beginning of Hook, he's flying
a plane because he's scared of flying.

1899
02:35:58.120 --> 02:36:03.959
So he just like grown up and
he's got all of the grown up problems.

1900
02:36:03.639 --> 02:36:09.399
He's cranky, he's you know,
fearful, he is he like an

1901
02:36:09.440 --> 02:36:13.799
insurance sales day. He's bane capital. Oh yeah, yeah, he's a

1902
02:36:13.920 --> 02:36:16.920
he's a not a hedge funder,
but well I guess he's a hedge funder.

1903
02:36:18.000 --> 02:36:22.239
But there's a scene where his dad, his son is talking to Wendy

1904
02:36:22.520 --> 02:36:24.959
right and when they fly to London, and the Sun says, when we

1905
02:36:26.200 --> 02:36:28.959
when we see a failing company,
we go in and we buy them,

1906
02:36:28.200 --> 02:36:31.040
and if they give us any resistance, we kill them. They're over.

1907
02:36:31.520 --> 02:36:35.120
Oh yeah, they're over as a
company. And so he's on the phone.

1908
02:36:35.159 --> 02:36:37.280
Actually, oh, I meant to
get that out. I have the

1909
02:36:37.399 --> 02:36:43.280
Motorola phone that he uses throughout this
Yeah. Yeah, and he's got the

1910
02:36:43.520 --> 02:36:46.920
he's got the little There's so many
scenes that they should have cut in this

1911
02:36:48.000 --> 02:36:50.799
movie, but one of them is
when he's in the office with his friends

1912
02:36:50.879 --> 02:36:54.840
and they do like a gunslinger draw, like of who can answer the phone

1913
02:36:54.920 --> 02:37:00.239
the fastest, right, Yeah,
And he's always on the phone. He's

1914
02:37:00.440 --> 02:37:05.000
he's heading some company and he's starting
to speculate, speculate in real estate.

1915
02:37:05.959 --> 02:37:11.719
And he's starting this children's wing of
an orphan hospital named after when it's called

1916
02:37:11.760 --> 02:37:20.200
the Wendy More you know Angela Dark
So Wendy Mary Angel Darling is her name,

1917
02:37:20.879 --> 02:37:24.079
And they're starting this wing of this
hospital. And Wendy is the grandparent.

1918
02:37:24.479 --> 02:37:31.319
Is his place his grandmother or something
in this No, she's his wife's

1919
02:37:33.559 --> 02:37:37.639
wife's Yeah, it doesn't make any
sense. Yeah, aunt or something like

1920
02:37:37.760 --> 02:37:41.399
that. Right, they call her
grandmother, so I guess it would be

1921
02:37:41.440 --> 02:37:43.520
of the kids. Yeah, yeah, the kid's grandmother. Okay, but

1922
02:37:43.600 --> 02:37:48.799
it still didn't make any sense.
But yeah, so he's he's flying the

1923
02:37:48.840 --> 02:37:52.239
plane, or he's not flying the
plane, but he's in the plane.

1924
02:37:52.399 --> 02:37:56.239
I was surprised they didn't use Oceania
airlines that they always use in the movies.

1925
02:37:56.760 --> 02:38:01.520
Now confused because was he adopted?
Yes, so she's part of that.

1926
02:38:03.600 --> 02:38:09.479
So Wendy adopted Peter Pan when she
oh because oh, because because he

1927
02:38:09.600 --> 02:38:15.440
talks about he kept going back and
she kept getting older and so she couldn't

1928
02:38:15.479 --> 02:38:18.360
fly anymore. And I guess that's
at the point where she adopted it and

1929
02:38:18.479 --> 02:38:22.879
her daughter, right, So,
so time had passed, so she had

1930
02:38:22.920 --> 02:38:24.360
grown older, but he'd stayed the
same, so that when he starts to

1931
02:38:24.399 --> 02:38:28.040
grow older, there's a time distance. So then he falls in love with

1932
02:38:28.079 --> 02:38:35.879
the daughter. Okay, yeah,
so I forget how how does he end

1933
02:38:35.959 --> 02:38:43.239
up in Neverlands? So so he
goes away on they So they're they're in

1934
02:38:43.319 --> 02:38:48.639
America, right, and they have
the baseball game, and the Sun is

1935
02:38:48.680 --> 02:38:50.280
going to play the baseball game and
he says, oh, no. First

1936
02:38:50.319 --> 02:38:54.159
it starts off at the play.
They're watching a play of Peter Pan and

1937
02:38:54.559 --> 02:38:58.840
the daughter, the youngest daughter is
in the play, and the Sun is

1938
02:38:58.879 --> 02:39:01.079
watching with Rob Williams and the mother, and he gets a phone called yes,

1939
02:39:01.159 --> 02:39:03.559
so look the businesses, you know, and she's like, put away

1940
02:39:03.559 --> 02:39:07.959
the phone, you know. And
then the Sun has a baseball met and

1941
02:39:07.000 --> 02:39:09.920
a baseball and he says, you
know, I'll be there tomorrow morning for

1942
02:39:09.959 --> 02:39:11.959
the business deal. And then the
Sun says, you know what about my

1943
02:39:13.000 --> 02:39:15.879
baseball game, Dad, and he
says, my word is my bond.

1944
02:39:15.959 --> 02:39:20.479
Of course, he breaks his word
because the next morning they have the baseball

1945
02:39:20.559 --> 02:39:22.760
game. The Sun is there and
Robin Williams goes off to the short meeting

1946
02:39:22.799 --> 02:39:26.440
which ends up this, you know, is this long business deal or whatever.

1947
02:39:26.760 --> 02:39:31.440
He sends his cameraman to film the
game, and then by the time

1948
02:39:31.520 --> 02:39:33.319
he shows up, the game is
over. By the way the game was,

1949
02:39:33.559 --> 02:39:41.200
it's obviously warm outside because they're playing
baseball, but they threw in winners

1950
02:39:41.239 --> 02:39:43.319
special or whatever. And I guess
that's because they premiered the movie in December,

1951
02:39:43.840 --> 02:39:46.079
so they had to make it a
Christmas movie. And it's also did

1952
02:39:46.120 --> 02:39:50.680
you notice this The name of the
league is called like date, It's called

1953
02:39:50.879 --> 02:39:56.760
the Date Nut League. Very weird. Yeah, it's something weird that I

1954
02:39:56.840 --> 02:40:00.959
saw in there that plays into a
lot of the Jeff's I make every stuff

1955
02:40:01.000 --> 02:40:05.239
in the film, because there's a
lot of it. And so then anyway,

1956
02:40:05.719 --> 02:40:07.879
they missed the baseball game. Then
they get on the plane and they

1957
02:40:07.920 --> 02:40:11.319
fly over to London because he has
to dedicate the new wing of the hospital.

1958
02:40:11.159 --> 02:40:15.200
When they're on the plane, the
sun is throwing baseball at the He's

1959
02:40:15.200 --> 02:40:18.319
trying to crack the window of the
airplane and Robin Williams says, why do

1960
02:40:18.399 --> 02:40:20.440
you have to always act like such
a child? And the kid says,

1961
02:40:20.559 --> 02:40:24.879
well, I'm a child, and
then he hits the thing and the you

1962
02:40:24.959 --> 02:40:28.319
know, the oxygen mask come down. They get mad. Then they get

1963
02:40:28.360 --> 02:40:30.879
to London. They go to Wendy's
house and then they put the kids to

1964
02:40:31.280 --> 02:40:35.600
bed. The baseball is missing.
The daughter says, oh, the kid

1965
02:40:35.680 --> 02:40:39.440
says where who took my baseball?
And she says the weird man that keeps

1966
02:40:39.479 --> 02:40:43.520
appearing at the window, Oh yeah, which is hook right right? And

1967
02:40:43.680 --> 02:40:46.559
then they go and they dedicate the
hospital wing. Robin Williams is giving a

1968
02:40:46.600 --> 02:40:50.959
speech and he says, we're all
orphans, or I'm an orphan, And

1969
02:40:50.040 --> 02:40:54.639
then I guess how did they get
out of the latch for the window by

1970
02:40:54.639 --> 02:41:01.000
the way as a hook? And
he wants the kid keep the window shut,

1971
02:41:01.079 --> 02:41:03.680
always keep the window shut, which
we know from Peter Pan is now

1972
02:41:03.760 --> 02:41:05.000
that he's an adult, he wants
to keep the window shut because he doesn't

1973
02:41:05.000 --> 02:41:09.079
have to come home again. But
the window blows open, and then the

1974
02:41:09.760 --> 02:41:11.600
I guess hook takes him off to
Neverland, and then Robin Williams has to

1975
02:41:11.680 --> 02:41:18.200
go and comes for him, right, and and tinker Bell is Julia Roberts.

1976
02:41:18.559 --> 02:41:26.200
Yeah. Did you notice they called
they called her tinker Hell, did

1977
02:41:26.239 --> 02:41:31.559
they really? Yes, she was
a high maintenance she was high maintenance diva.

1978
02:41:31.959 --> 02:41:41.479
Oh that's funny. Oh did you
notice that in the Disney's Peter Pan

1979
02:41:41.559 --> 02:41:48.159
and Wendy, the live action one, they're playing Peter Pan in the beginning.

1980
02:41:48.479 --> 02:41:50.399
Yeah, in the beginning. Yeah, they're fighting, they're sword fighting.

1981
02:41:50.479 --> 02:41:58.799
Yeah, they're already He's already in
their pant of Heroes. Yeah,

1982
02:42:01.120 --> 02:42:05.079
which is like right about the time
that the actual book was written. Yeah,

1983
02:42:05.120 --> 02:42:09.200
so so that move. So the
Peter Pan and Wendy was released on

1984
02:42:09.280 --> 02:42:15.040
the anniversary of the release of the
nineteen fifty three movie, and then I

1985
02:42:15.120 --> 02:42:18.639
guess that is supposed to be an
anniversary of when the play was originally produced.

1986
02:42:20.399 --> 02:42:24.239
The play called The Boy who hates
mothers. Oh my god, yes,

1987
02:42:26.520 --> 02:42:31.360
yes, and the Little White Bird. Yeah. And then in this

1988
02:42:31.520 --> 02:42:37.520
they're watching the play, so everyone
is aware of Peter Pan, even though

1989
02:42:37.559 --> 02:42:41.079
Wendy is involved in the actual thing. Oh there's also the brother, either

1990
02:42:41.120 --> 02:42:43.079
it's John or Michael, who comes
in. He's like, I lost my

1991
02:42:43.239 --> 02:42:50.639
marbles. Oh yeah, it was
one of the Lost Boys, right,

1992
02:42:50.840 --> 02:42:56.639
I lost my marbles. I can't
get him back. And then at the

1993
02:42:56.760 --> 02:42:58.040
end he gets his marbles. See
I didn't, I did. He lose

1994
02:42:58.159 --> 02:43:03.959
my marbles and he flies away.
It's interesting. It ends interesting that the

1995
02:43:03.040 --> 02:43:09.079
movie ends with the man flying away
instead of the kids. So now he's

1996
02:43:09.120 --> 02:43:20.639
achieved this everlasting youth innocence of flying
and he flies towards Big Ben. It's

1997
02:43:20.719 --> 02:43:28.680
weird. So Tink comes and gets
Robin Williams so he can save his children.

1998
02:43:28.079 --> 02:43:31.440
They get to Neverland the Lost Boys, like, where the f of

1999
02:43:31.479 --> 02:43:37.159
you Ben? This whole time,
Yeah, he doesn't remember. Robin Williams

2000
02:43:37.200 --> 02:43:41.159
doesn't remember that he's Peter Pan,
and he doesn't believe any of this.

2001
02:43:41.319 --> 02:43:45.040
He's just like an old man.
Now. It takes him an hour and

2002
02:43:45.239 --> 02:43:48.440
forty minutes. I timed it.
Oh, to remember to remember that he's

2003
02:43:48.479 --> 02:43:52.520
Peter Pan an hour and forty minutes
of a two hour and seven minute movie

2004
02:43:52.559 --> 02:43:56.120
to remember that he's Peter Pan.
But you you like his outfit right when

2005
02:43:56.159 --> 02:44:05.280
he like this. I never this
movie. So it came out in ninety

2006
02:44:05.360 --> 02:44:07.479
one. I guess that's probably why
I didn't like it, because it came

2007
02:44:07.520 --> 02:44:11.040
out in ninety one, and in
ninety one, I mean I was eleven,

2008
02:44:11.520 --> 02:44:13.959
so I was like, dude,
I don't want to see this.

2009
02:44:13.079 --> 02:44:18.319
I want to go smoke cigarettes.
Was you know, I wasn't interested in

2010
02:44:18.440 --> 02:44:24.159
this, But it's a Spielberg movie, and there is a thing with like

2011
02:44:24.600 --> 02:44:30.079
there's he mentions dinosaurs in the movie, and then there's the giant you know's

2012
02:44:30.120 --> 02:44:31.719
the crocodile that kind of looks like
a dinosaur. So Jurassic Park is on

2013
02:44:31.760 --> 02:44:37.280
the heels of this movie. Yeah, I guess, but I just didn't

2014
02:44:37.360 --> 02:44:43.200
like I just I get the creepy
crawlies when I see this human man child

2015
02:44:43.280 --> 02:44:48.840
who's he's I like Robbin Williams because
I like Good Morning Vietnam. I liked

2016
02:44:48.879 --> 02:44:50.760
I like his role. I mean, I think he's awesome in that,

2017
02:44:50.239 --> 02:44:56.120
but this movie is like he's he's
a man. Yeah, and he's there

2018
02:44:56.159 --> 02:44:58.760
with all these kids and he's wearing
I mean, Dustin Offman even says like,

2019
02:44:58.840 --> 02:45:03.639
oh, you still fit into the
tides, right, yeah, and

2020
02:45:03.760 --> 02:45:07.879
he's like and it's like, it's
just it's just weird. It's like an

2021
02:45:09.040 --> 02:45:11.000
uncanny valley or something. Looking at
his face hanging out with these guys.

2022
02:45:11.200 --> 02:45:16.040
There's also my other big problem is, but the movie is there's too much

2023
02:45:18.479 --> 02:45:20.959
kitchy. Oh, we're gonna do
this. We're all gonna clap at the

2024
02:45:22.000 --> 02:45:24.600
same time, right, We're all
gonna have sayings that we say at the

2025
02:45:24.639 --> 02:45:28.920
same time. And then they finished
yeah they and yeah the bangarrang and and

2026
02:45:28.680 --> 02:45:33.360
then they yeah, Rufio rufio,
and it's like they all say it three

2027
02:45:33.440 --> 02:45:37.399
times. It becomes this weird hypnotic
thing. And then also clearly Spielberg was

2028
02:45:37.479 --> 02:45:39.680
like, oh, it's nineteen ninety
one, so we got to appeal to

2029
02:45:39.799 --> 02:45:43.440
kids in this, So we're gonna
have skateboarding and basketball, right, And

2030
02:45:43.559 --> 02:45:48.159
it's like the Bones Brigade shows up
and it's like skateboarding the Lost Boys,

2031
02:45:48.239 --> 02:45:50.600
And then you look at the set
and it's like the guy's like windsurfing like

2032
02:45:50.680 --> 02:45:56.319
on a track. You know,
it's just there's a lot of contrived stuff.

2033
02:45:58.399 --> 02:46:01.520
You know. Spielberg said that he
hates this movie. Oh yes,

2034
02:46:01.959 --> 02:46:05.479
he made the movie and he says, I it's a bad movie. What

2035
02:46:05.920 --> 02:46:09.000
what do you think about it being
called Hook and not Peter Pan. Why

2036
02:46:09.040 --> 02:46:15.920
do you think? Well, I
I want to give it some sort of

2037
02:46:16.079 --> 02:46:24.719
light take on it. But the
movie is so full of weird spirally stuff,

2038
02:46:24.680 --> 02:46:28.440
Pegate, Jeff Stein, mcguffrey stuff
in it. It's all over the

2039
02:46:28.520 --> 02:46:35.360
place in this movie. And there's
there's literal spiral symbolism. There's Hook.

2040
02:46:35.440 --> 02:46:37.159
You know, you're I'm your he
says, he's he's his dad. Now

2041
02:46:37.879 --> 02:46:41.000
there's the lizard man crocodile trying to
get him. There's the smashing of the

2042
02:46:41.159 --> 02:46:48.799
clocks. Yes, there's there's the
fact that the sun doesn't recognize the dad

2043
02:46:48.879 --> 02:46:52.120
anymore. Come back, come back, you know, remember your father?

2044
02:46:52.280 --> 02:46:56.079
You know, And it's like they're
lost in a psychic hase of monarch,

2045
02:46:56.600 --> 02:47:03.559
you know, splitting all the stuff
with the the slave slop, food fights,

2046
02:47:03.719 --> 02:47:09.239
multi colored you know, there's there's
just a lot in this movie.

2047
02:47:09.280 --> 02:47:11.920
There's so much. I can't even
recall it all. But there's so much

2048
02:47:13.040 --> 02:47:16.840
in the movie that it really.
So I think that hook is like it's

2049
02:47:16.879 --> 02:47:20.239
like we're hooking the audience into this
thing that we have, I mean the

2050
02:47:20.280 --> 02:47:24.600
baseball games, and it's like you
got David Crosby and Jimmy Buffett. Jimmy

2051
02:47:24.600 --> 02:47:26.600
Buffett was on the flight logs.
He was I won't say too much about

2052
02:47:26.639 --> 02:47:31.879
that because of the thing, but
he was that he went to the jeff

2053
02:47:31.920 --> 02:47:37.840
Stein mcgeffrey place many many times.
Okay, and I don't know, but

2054
02:47:37.920 --> 02:47:41.799
all I know he's on there and
he played there many times. And David

2055
02:47:41.879 --> 02:47:45.399
Crosby, who's got all this weird
stuff is in their gene. Glenn Close

2056
02:47:45.440 --> 02:47:52.719
plays a man in the movie Dustin
Hoffman. Is this he goes beyond creepy

2057
02:47:52.760 --> 02:47:58.440
and foppish, right, he becomes
a it's predatory, you know, and

2058
02:48:00.120 --> 02:48:05.760
yes, to make him be his
little mentee or something. Right, So

2059
02:48:05.920 --> 02:48:09.079
it's like we're gonna hook the audience. And also this is about hooking people

2060
02:48:09.159 --> 02:48:13.040
into stay, you know, and
and the like we mentioned last week,

2061
02:48:13.280 --> 02:48:20.040
the kids are there on the island
and they're living forever in innocence and youth,

2062
02:48:20.360 --> 02:48:24.760
but also the pirates are there and
at one point, remember Maggie Smith,

2063
02:48:24.920 --> 02:48:26.680
she says what have you been doing? And he talks that's when the

2064
02:48:26.719 --> 02:48:28.799
Sun talks about the hedge fun stuff, and she says, oh, you've

2065
02:48:28.840 --> 02:48:33.200
become a pirate. So he's grown
up to become a pirate. He's a

2066
02:48:33.280 --> 02:48:37.520
financial raider, and yet he's going
back to this island so he can have,

2067
02:48:37.760 --> 02:48:43.040
you know, innocence forever. What
were you going to say about the

2068
02:48:45.319 --> 02:48:48.479
bird's eye view of the island,
because I remember like a compass or something,

2069
02:48:50.520 --> 02:48:52.600
wasn't it. Yeah, there's a
compass, and I was trying to

2070
02:48:52.639 --> 02:48:58.399
see if there was anything else with
the compass, you know, like as

2071
02:48:58.440 --> 02:49:01.479
if it were Rosicrucian or something.
I'm sure that plays into it. But

2072
02:49:01.559 --> 02:49:05.399
it's like, we see this god's
eye view of the island, and I

2073
02:49:05.559 --> 02:49:09.959
just can't help but think of Jeff
Stein McCaffrey Island because of all the kids

2074
02:49:11.000 --> 02:49:15.280
are there, and he's flying down
into this place and he's wearing tights,

2075
02:49:15.360 --> 02:49:20.680
and well, how many kids do
you think that they took their telling them

2076
02:49:20.719 --> 02:49:26.479
We're going to go to never Land
or yeah, and you know that,

2077
02:49:26.600 --> 02:49:30.239
you know, the original idea to
play Peter Pan was in this movie.

2078
02:49:30.280 --> 02:49:33.559
Who Spielberg wanted in the eighties was
who he wanted to cast Michael Jackson.

2079
02:49:35.680 --> 02:49:39.040
Oh yeah, there were like two
big pushes to get Michael Jackson to play

2080
02:49:39.159 --> 02:49:41.040
this role. And then of course
Michael Jackson ends up with never Land Ranch

2081
02:49:41.799 --> 02:49:45.840
or he wants to you know,
which I think is some sort of MK

2082
02:49:46.000 --> 02:49:54.079
ultra facility. I mean it's yeah, but uh, there, there's there's

2083
02:49:54.280 --> 02:49:56.920
you can listen, you can watch
this movie and you can look at every

2084
02:49:56.959 --> 02:49:58.559
second of this movie and there's something
in it where you go, oh no,

2085
02:50:00.639 --> 02:50:05.440
there's all these little lines that they
say. There's a there's there's the

2086
02:50:05.520 --> 02:50:11.040
Dustin Hoffman line where he's so out
of context it sounds he's He's like,

2087
02:50:11.360 --> 02:50:13.879
I remember you being a lot bigger, and he says like, oh,

2088
02:50:13.000 --> 02:50:16.239
I don't even want to say what
he says, but it's very weird.

2089
02:50:18.159 --> 02:50:20.440
It's very weird how he responds to
that. And then there's a part where

2090
02:50:20.440 --> 02:50:22.879
he's on the phone talking to the
guy at the end and he's like,

2091
02:50:22.920 --> 02:50:26.639
Oh, I'm just crawling up a
drain pipe. I've been on fairy dust.

2092
02:50:26.440 --> 02:50:28.559
I mean, how does it feel
to fly? And he throws the

2093
02:50:28.600 --> 02:50:31.239
phone out the window. But there's
another line that he says there that's very

2094
02:50:31.280 --> 02:50:37.079
weird. So it's almost like the
movie functions as a fantasy for these people.

2095
02:50:37.600 --> 02:50:45.079
You know, what I've noticed in
kids movies is like the dialogue is

2096
02:50:46.399 --> 02:50:54.399
really inappropriate if you're not watching what
they're doing. Yes, I'm trying to

2097
02:50:54.479 --> 02:50:58.879
think, what was that movie with
the rock that just came out, Jungle

2098
02:50:58.959 --> 02:51:03.680
Cruise. So there's a scene that
they're talking. The dialogue sounds like a

2099
02:51:03.799 --> 02:51:09.639
sex scene like push it harder and
stuff like that, but they're trying to

2100
02:51:11.040 --> 02:51:18.479
do something innocent, but what they're
saying does not fit exactly that and it

2101
02:51:18.600 --> 02:51:20.520
sounds dirty. Have you know?
Yes, yes, And I would say

2102
02:51:20.600 --> 02:51:24.280
that. Okay, look, you
know, there has to be a point

2103
02:51:24.360 --> 02:51:31.319
where we can't as adults, we
can't take everything as innuendo, because then

2104
02:51:31.360 --> 02:51:33.840
it almost functions as like, okay, now we're the ones being childish when

2105
02:51:33.840 --> 02:51:39.120
we read into that, right,
But this is a film, This is

2106
02:51:39.399 --> 02:51:41.879
this is like a two hundred million
dollars film where every single piece of dialogue

2107
02:51:41.959 --> 02:51:46.360
is written and rewritten and they know
exactly the context, and they have dozens

2108
02:51:46.440 --> 02:51:48.680
of people to read the script,
and they have dozens of people to read

2109
02:51:48.719 --> 02:51:52.879
over this, and they know what
the movie's about, and look, at

2110
02:51:52.920 --> 02:52:00.319
that all the people involved. So
it's creepy. I hate to old this

2111
02:52:00.440 --> 02:52:03.399
movie for anybody. Look if you
look, if you I'm not going.

2112
02:52:03.959 --> 02:52:05.239
If anybody's watching and they love the
movie when they were a kid, that's

2113
02:52:05.239 --> 02:52:09.120
fine. Yeah right, I'm just
saying we're looking at it in terms of

2114
02:52:11.000 --> 02:52:15.239
the symbolism and in terms of you
can't help but look at some of the

2115
02:52:15.319 --> 02:52:18.600
darker things with this, especially what
we've just discussed with Pan. I mean,

2116
02:52:18.319 --> 02:52:22.840
well, yeah, I feel like
I do that a lot too,

2117
02:52:22.959 --> 02:52:28.040
Like I spoil everything, like I've
just ruined Peter Pan for everyone. Well,

2118
02:52:28.120 --> 02:52:31.280
but but listen, if somebody,
if honestly, I mean, if

2119
02:52:31.319 --> 02:52:33.559
you're watching, if you were watching
this and you thought, okay, that

2120
02:52:33.639 --> 02:52:35.920
spoils it for me. But then
also you have to have disarmament and you

2121
02:52:37.079 --> 02:52:39.280
and you have to have your own
method of going through things and deciding what

2122
02:52:39.440 --> 02:52:45.680
you think is good or not right. So you know, we're just looking

2123
02:52:45.719 --> 02:52:50.360
at it. No, we're just
discussing it. So hopefully it didn't.

2124
02:52:50.600 --> 02:52:54.920
You know, be happy in your
memories of the movie. I guess I

2125
02:52:54.040 --> 02:53:01.120
think you're remaining some really good points. You know, you can't know until

2126
02:53:01.319 --> 02:53:05.079
after the fact exactly what's happening,
Like you said, like the piece heads

2127
02:53:05.079 --> 02:53:11.000
and the jeff Stein Island and stuff. It's like that was probably their hey

2128
02:53:11.120 --> 02:53:15.000
day that, you know, the
nineties. Yeah, yeah, I mean

2129
02:53:15.079 --> 02:53:18.600
I rewatched Jurassic Park the other day
and I was thinking of doing an analysis

2130
02:53:18.680 --> 02:53:22.520
on it because, you know,
I read the book when it came out.

2131
02:53:22.680 --> 02:53:24.319
I was a kid. I read
it when it came out, and

2132
02:53:24.360 --> 02:53:28.000
it's dinosaurs, and you know,
and you watch the movie and but there's

2133
02:53:28.040 --> 02:53:33.600
a lot of Jeff Goldkum, you
know when you yeah, you know,

2134
02:53:35.200 --> 02:53:43.040
wouldn't it be sexy if we have
alos erupted? Right? He's a sexy

2135
02:53:43.200 --> 02:53:48.760
math katition, right, And like
who it can afford to go to this

2136
02:53:48.879 --> 02:53:54.559
island where there's dinosaurs and there's the
most dangerous game. Right, It's almost

2137
02:53:54.639 --> 02:53:58.079
like it's almost as if the old
guy who's kind of a Jeff Stein mceffer

2138
02:53:58.200 --> 02:54:01.760
character, planned the whole thing to
be him dangerous game. Why is Wayne

2139
02:54:01.799 --> 02:54:07.520
Knight the scientist on the island in
the tropics? Do you think that guy

2140
02:54:07.680 --> 02:54:11.559
is going to go to the tropics? Yeah? I did a whole thing

2141
02:54:13.120 --> 02:54:18.600
on Drastic Park when I was talking
about that show. If dinosaurs are real

2142
02:54:18.799 --> 02:54:22.399
or not. So in the beginning
of that, we talk a lot about

2143
02:54:22.479 --> 02:54:26.639
Michael Crichton, and yeah, you're
right to do a Durassic Park because that

2144
02:54:26.799 --> 02:54:33.520
whole franchise needs in depth analysis because
it goes weird places, uh chimeras,

2145
02:54:33.680 --> 02:54:41.120
DNA splitting, cloning. Do you
remember the part where sam Neil gives there's

2146
02:54:41.159 --> 02:54:45.559
a part of the beginning where they're
on the dinosaur dig and he says,

2147
02:54:45.680 --> 02:54:50.440
this is a velociraptor claw and there's
a little kid. They always get these.

2148
02:54:52.479 --> 02:54:54.159
The casting is very strange. Get
they get this kid who's like a

2149
02:54:54.399 --> 02:55:00.639
Benjamin Britton, Benjamin Button poet,
Benjamin Button. And he goes up and

2150
02:55:00.680 --> 02:55:03.719
he's like, what's the deal with
the claw? That's stupid, And sam

2151
02:55:03.799 --> 02:55:05.920
Neel's like, well, if I
were a veloci raptor, I would take

2152
02:55:07.000 --> 02:55:11.079
this and slash your And he goes
on this like long, I remember exactly

2153
02:55:11.159 --> 02:55:13.479
what you're talking about. He's like, it'll rip you to shreds, and

2154
02:55:13.639 --> 02:55:18.559
yeah with the claw, yeah yeah, it'll rip you to shreds. Your

2155
02:55:18.600 --> 02:55:20.559
guts will spill out and then you
will fester it. And it's like,

2156
02:55:22.319 --> 02:55:26.520
dude, enough I do just on
a dinosaur dig man chill I do and

2157
02:55:26.639 --> 02:55:31.799
the kids looks like the kid looks
like he walks away. Yeah, he

2158
02:55:33.000 --> 02:55:39.159
totally owned that little kid. Terrible. Okay, last question, what did

2159
02:55:39.200 --> 02:55:48.760
you think of the close ups of
Dusty moth Man and hook with his They

2160
02:55:48.799 --> 02:55:52.040
are doing lots of close ups of
his mustaches, tea, and his mouth.

2161
02:55:52.319 --> 02:55:56.600
Yeah, they tied a little twine
around his mustache and you know,

2162
02:55:56.680 --> 02:56:00.959
his mustache has like a mind of
its own. Yeah. I thought that

2163
02:56:01.840 --> 02:56:05.559
very weird casting, right, I
mean, I guess if you're going to

2164
02:56:05.639 --> 02:56:09.040
get a creep to play Captain Hooked, then you would get I mean,

2165
02:56:09.120 --> 02:56:13.959
he certainly looks the party, but
everybody's too old, right, even for

2166
02:56:13.079 --> 02:56:18.040
a Peter Van thing. You know, it's odd. I like the way

2167
02:56:18.120 --> 02:56:22.479
that it's resolved because he goes back
because Peter Pant goes back home. And

2168
02:56:22.600 --> 02:56:26.079
then he realizes, oh no,
I have a family, and he you

2169
02:56:26.159 --> 02:56:28.879
know, he goes up into the
window and he says, you know,

2170
02:56:28.920 --> 02:56:31.920
always leave this window open. It's
like, you know, and he reunites

2171
02:56:31.959 --> 02:56:35.000
with Wendy and then they they're a
family again. So it's positive at the

2172
02:56:35.120 --> 02:56:39.600
end, right, and you know, we see the sun and it's positive.

2173
02:56:39.639 --> 02:56:41.200
And then of course, the old
man finds his marbles and flies off

2174
02:56:41.239 --> 02:56:45.920
into the time portal, which is
weird. I guess he's going to go

2175
02:56:46.040 --> 02:56:50.840
hang out with Jimmy Buffett and Jeff
Still on the Island's name what's his name?

2176
02:56:52.120 --> 02:57:01.200
Oh? Yeah, right right?
Title? What what are you doing

2177
02:57:01.239 --> 02:57:05.280
in this house? You don't even
live here? Yeah? Right? He

2178
02:57:05.479 --> 02:57:07.479
was an old last boy. I've
been living in there. I've been living

2179
02:57:07.520 --> 02:57:13.840
in the walls looking for my marbles, right years, I've been watching the

2180
02:57:13.920 --> 02:57:20.479
family. Yes, okay, well
I'm not sure. I think we have

2181
02:57:22.719 --> 02:57:28.559
panned all of it all hand out, we've covered all of it. Yes,

2182
02:57:28.920 --> 02:57:37.120
we've done Pan Universe a pan,
and I think we've made our point

2183
02:57:37.280 --> 02:57:43.239
that is probably not a good idea
to be trying to contact spirits. On

2184
02:57:43.280 --> 02:57:50.440
the other side, Pan is Bapo
me hidden God. And we're gonna be

2185
02:57:50.520 --> 02:57:54.520
talking a lot about that more on
Rockman. And the next time you see

2186
02:57:54.600 --> 02:58:00.319
me and bast Analyzer, we're gonna
be talking about washing in DC, right

2187
02:58:00.559 --> 02:58:05.520
right, Yeah, that's right,
esoteric adventure of our nation's capital. And

2188
02:58:05.600 --> 02:58:09.319
that's movie awesome. Yeah, go
go on the tour of esoteric architecture in

2189
02:58:09.440 --> 02:58:13.120
DC. And this wouldn't be a
tour without the Albert Pike statue. I

2190
02:58:13.159 --> 02:58:22.840
think, right, giant follows of
Osiris on the last Yeah, they created

2191
02:58:22.879 --> 02:58:26.559
a city laid out in a Sepharroth. Interesting, Yeah, right, But

2192
02:58:26.680 --> 02:58:28.600
I think, you know, just
as the last word about Peter Pan,

2193
02:58:28.719 --> 02:58:31.799
I think that you know, I
love the story as a kid, and

2194
02:58:33.120 --> 02:58:37.600
I think that the it's a it's
a book in the cannon. It's a

2195
02:58:37.639 --> 02:58:41.360
classic work because it functions on a
number of you know, on multiple levels.

2196
02:58:41.479 --> 02:58:45.600
And I think it's great that we
went into all things Pan, which

2197
02:58:45.680 --> 02:58:48.680
is which is again related to this, because of all of the imagery,

2198
02:58:48.719 --> 02:58:52.040
all the symbolism that we've covered and
far as far as we've done modern poetry,

2199
02:58:52.079 --> 02:58:56.000
we covered ancient you know, we
covered Avid, we covered Alistair Crowley,

2200
02:58:56.040 --> 02:59:01.079
we covered Mac and we covered the
everything Pan all the movie. So

2201
02:59:01.319 --> 02:59:03.639
I think it takes people, you
know, with discernment to look at these

2202
02:59:03.680 --> 02:59:07.840
things and decide for yourself adventure novel
or something darker. Who knows? Yea,

2203
02:59:07.639 --> 02:59:11.319
