Was there any sense 20 00:00:56.719 --> 00:00:58.359 of like, oh, you know, I thought it was going 21 00:00:58.399 --> 00:01:00.000 to be all original, this is a bit weird. 22 00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:04.640 That yeah, If I'm honest, the first half I wasn't disappointed, 23 00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:09.200 but I was expecting something new and exciting. Yeah, and 24 00:01:09.239 --> 00:01:12.159 then it kind of wasn't, at least in the first half. 25 00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:15.000 Like there were sections that were knew obviously and it 26 00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:18.079 was still fun. But yeah, I was slightly concerned that 27 00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:19.799 the second half is just going to be another episode. 28 00:01:20.079 --> 00:01:23.959 Yeah, that's exactly how I felt. But luckily you kind 29 00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:25.120 of get the best of both worlds. 30 00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:27.799 Yeah, and I guess it's designed probably for, like I 31 00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:29.519 said earlier, people that have brought people that have never 32 00:01:29.519 --> 00:01:31.319 seen it, so you can give them a flavor of 33 00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:35.359 the actual show and then go into something new and 34 00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:37.879 it all still ties together and it's relevant as to 35 00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:38.519 why they've done it. 36 00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:39.799 Yeah. 37 00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:41.799 But yeah, give someone an into the actual series and 38 00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:42.959 it might make someone watch it. 39 00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:47.159 Yeah, because yeah, then the second half is all original. 40 00:01:48.359 --> 00:01:50.159 So if you were, I don't know, maybe if it's 41 00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:52.480 just as sad if someone left for that reason in 42 00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:56.439 the middle, and then true, well that's therefore for Yeah, 43 00:01:56.799 --> 00:01:58.359 why would you not sticking it out? 44 00:01:58.879 --> 00:02:01.239 I can understand people at part way through a show. 45 00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:04.799 Yeah, I think I've only done that once. Would have 46 00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:06.239 to be supremely terrible. 47 00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:09.479 Yeah, it has to be something I've seen before, like 48 00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:12.840 i'd know what it was like, you know, a revival. 49 00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:16.199 Of Okay, so yeah. 50 00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:17.840 More so that if you left in the middle of this, 51 00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:20.599 you don't know what's coming up to leave, no, exactly. Yeah, 52 00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:22.560 like at least if you leave halfway through Oliver, you 53 00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:25.719 know what the ends. You might not enjoy how they 54 00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:26.960 did it, but you know what it's going to be. 55 00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:27.879 Yeah. 56 00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:31.560 I never understand people that leave, especially nowadays. It costs 57 00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:32.680 a fortune to go exactly. 58 00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:35.000 Yeah, you paid the money, you might as well. Yes, 59 00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:40.080 So curtain comes up on act too, and we are 60 00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:44.439 now watching later de la Sille Terror in the Asylum. 61 00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:48.080 At number nine.

I was also 66 00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:09.280 getting Psychoville vibes as well. Yes, sort of run down asylum, 67 00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:11.199 very sort of spooky location. 68 00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:13.919 Very very that. Yeah, and yeah, like you said it was, 69 00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:17.000 it's very their style of horror, like the more sort 70 00:03:17.039 --> 00:03:19.159 of nineteen thirties. I guess what it is, something that 71 00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:20.800 kind of era of horror. 72 00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:25.680 Yeah, the music's brilliant as well. Mm hmm organ you 73 00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:26.840 know thunder crashes. 74 00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:28.560 Oh, it's very stereotypical. 75 00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:32.120 Oh, I love Sometimes a good stereotype is just what 76 00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:32.479 you want. 77 00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:34.439 Yeah, it's a stereotype for reasons sometimes. 78 00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:36.879 Yeah, I don't know if you noticed as well, but 79 00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:40.479 some of the some of the creepy horror music used 80 00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:42.800 the melody of tears of laughter but put into like 81 00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:43.960 a horror kind of key. 82 00:03:44.039 --> 00:03:45.319 Oh I like that. I didn't know that. 83 00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:51.000 Yeah, very clever. So this young woman turns up at 84 00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:51.919 the asylum. 85 00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:53.560 Now this is the point where I'm going to struggle 86 00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:57.000 because I don't know anyone's names, and I don't think 87 00:03:57.039 --> 00:03:58.800 my program actually says the names. I think it just 88 00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:00.039 has a Yeah, it just has a list. 89 00:04:02.919 --> 00:04:04.159 Because I think I can tell us. 90 00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:06.240 So I know, we have doctor Goudron. 91 00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:09.639 Doctor Goudron runs the asylum, doesn't he. 92 00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:10.159 Yes. 93 00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:12.719 The lady who turns up is called Suzette. 94 00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:17.120 Susette all right, yes, so paint a picture. She's ditsy 95 00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:17.839 blonde lady. 96 00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:20.879 That's well, she's your typical sort of blonde in a 97 00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:24.279 horror film, potentially, like you know, yeah, the pretty like. 98 00:04:24.279 --> 00:04:26.279 I said, stereotype for a reason. Yeah. 99 00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:30.399 Yeah, and she's being shown in by I guess a 100 00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:33.959 sort of matron or nurse or something called Crag Crag. 101 00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:35.199 That was it, an older. 102 00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:38.160 Lady, Madam Cragg, who's very o TT. 103 00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:40.480 I love her, I love so much. 104 00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:44.680 And there was a whole bit and I don't know, 105 00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:46.759 I was wondering if someone had forgotten a line, but 106 00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:48.439 they just seem to stare at each other for what 107 00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:49.600 feels like a minute. 108 00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:51.639 They do, Yeah, they get a mine as well. It's 109 00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:54.720 just that awkward atmosphere, isn't it. What to do next? 110 00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:57.120 Yeah, it feels like eternity. 111 00:04:57.360 --> 00:04:59.160 And then she goes, may I take your code? 112 00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:03.279 Yeah, and everything is so over the like how she 113 00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:05.319 sort of parades around and twirls and. 114 00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:09.519 Yeah, it's very good. So the idea is that she 115 00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:14.000 has come to see doctor Goudron because she's been getting migraines. Yes, 116 00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:20.959 Reese appears supposedly the doctor that she wants to see. 117 00:05:20.319 --> 00:05:23.920 In full on like mad scientist, mad scientists, streak of 118 00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:25.480 white in his hair, all that kind of stuff. 119 00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:28.959 Love it. And there's again there's a league of gentlemen 120 00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:31.319 bit there that I feel it as a legal gentleman 121 00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:34.279 bit when she says about my migraines. Yes, he says, 122 00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:44.000 you're your grains, You're your grains. Very funny. 123 00:05:44.279 --> 00:05:46.519 It's so great wordplay. 124 00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:56.079 Yes, were you familiar with the Elements song? Yes, so 125 00:05:56.560 --> 00:05:59.639 they play that and Reese's character just starts singing it. 126 00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:02.759 Well, all the bottles light up around him. 127 00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:05.720 Yes, if you don't know the song, it's the same 128 00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:10.079 tune as modern Major General from Gilbert and Sullivan Pirates 129 00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:12.040 appends ance. I think so. It's just it's one of 130 00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:16.920 those Patsa songs, very wordy and yeah. I was wondering 131 00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:18.560 whether I should admit this on the podcast or not. 132 00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:21.639 But I discovered this song when I was in I 133 00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:23.439 think year eight. My friend showed it to me. 134 00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:24.959 You can name it, oh can't you? 135 00:06:25.399 --> 00:06:28.560 Me and my friend learned it. I don't think I 136 00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:30.319 could still do the whole thing, but I definitely know 137 00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:34.040 the first bit. There's antimony, arsennic, aluminum, selenium and hydrogen 138 00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:37.000 oxygen and nitrogen, unium and nickeol, neodymium, neptunium, germanium, and 139 00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:39.399 I am a risin uthenium, uranium. 140 00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:42.279 Well done, well done. I can't vouch it's correct, but. 141 00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:45.800 Well it is. Once it's there in your head, it's 142 00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:46.360 not going out. 143 00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:49.160 Reese is going to know it forever, having earlier every 144 00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:51.000 day for like six months or something. 145 00:06:51.279 --> 00:06:56.399 Yeah, and then again, this is such a classic cliche joke, 146 00:06:56.480 --> 00:06:59.360 but it turns out that he's not actually the real doctor. 147 00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:01.959 He's an escape mental patient who's pretending to be. 148 00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:06.480 The dogs, having tried to like attack her and perform 149 00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:09.800 surgery on her. Yeah, yeah, not before you got the 150 00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:11.800 great line from her of telling him to stop because 151 00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:19.720 she's allergic to patter songs. Oh yes, but yeah, he 152 00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:22.560 gets wheeled away, screaming, almost doing He reminded me so 153 00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:28.040 much of the end of Zanzibar where he gets hauled away, Yes, 154 00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:33.759 quite similar, mm hmm by the orderly. And we get 155 00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:38.079 the real doctor, Gudrun Steve. It's Steve, so we've got 156 00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:42.240 this whole story going on of his wife has recently died, 157 00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:46.160 she's been beheaded in the grounds of the asylum, and 158 00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:48.720 then we mustn't must not ever talk about it, so 159 00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:50.040 immediately sus that does. 160 00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:53.839 Yeah, it gets a bit convoluted. I can't remember exactly 161 00:07:53.879 --> 00:07:56.680 what the plot was, but it's something to do with 162 00:07:56.839 --> 00:07:59.480 I believe did he kill his wife and then and 163 00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:01.360 she Susette witnessed it. 164 00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:03.800 I don't remember why. I don't remember why. Oh, because 165 00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:06.360 he was having an affair. Oh yeah, I think he 166 00:08:06.439 --> 00:08:09.120 was pretty much sleeping his way through the asylum, right, 167 00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:13.800 Oh god, yeah, I think she'd found out. Yes, and yeah, 168 00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:14.680 he killed. 169 00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:17.920 Her and Suzette witnessed him killing her or burying her 170 00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:18.480 or something. 171 00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:21.759 Yes, and she's been having her migrants ugraines. 172 00:08:21.399 --> 00:08:24.800 Sit yeah, because she's blotted it out, but the trauma 173 00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:27.040 is there and it's sort of drawn her back to 174 00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:27.600 this place. 175 00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:31.199 Yes, yeah, and presumably with the missing head in the 176 00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:31.720 hat box. 177 00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:34.600 Oh yeah, yeah.

Yeah, and he's going to perform that 188 00:09:02.399 --> 00:09:05.600 on her, presumably to go wrong, to kill her as well. 189 00:09:06.039 --> 00:09:11.600 Yes, so he wants to demonstrate to her how he anesthetizes, 190 00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:15.120 which is basically by hypnotizing them into a trance state 191 00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:16.879 so that they don't feel any pain. 192 00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:23.120 Yes, no Spaghetti old Nase this week though, Yeah, hasn't 193 00:09:23.120 --> 00:09:24.960 come over from Italy yet. No. 194 00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:30.960 So to demonstrate he gets Reese's character Hugo back in. 195 00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:36.080 He's in a wheelchair, yeah, and he basically hypnotizes him 196 00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:39.159 into a trance and instructs him to saw his own 197 00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:45.000 leg off. Yes, yeah, I mean it's gruesome, but the 198 00:09:45.039 --> 00:09:48.559 effect is fantastic. He's obviously in some sort of trick 199 00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:51.559 wheelchair where his real legs are hidden, and then the 200 00:09:51.559 --> 00:09:54.200 fake legs are sticking out. But it looks it looks 201 00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:54.919 very realistic. 202 00:09:55.039 --> 00:09:57.840 It's very believable. I don't know what it's like right 203 00:09:57.919 --> 00:10:00.600 up close, but it's very believable from every where we 204 00:10:00.600 --> 00:10:00.960 were sitting. 205 00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:04.720 Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's done really well. It's quite gruesome. 206 00:10:04.960 --> 00:10:08.039 Lots of blood, the noise and noises and crunch. 207 00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:11.720 The soaring noise. Yeah yeah. And then then he snaps 208 00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:13.240 him out of the trance and all of a sudden 209 00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:15.200 it's ah my gage in the agony. 210 00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:20.720 Yeah, yeah, crazy, it's it's gruesome. I like I preferred 211 00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:22.240 a little bit more blood, but I guessing they probably 212 00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:25.240 didn't want to cover the stage in blood, and I 213 00:10:25.279 --> 00:10:26.200 always want blood. 214 00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:29.120 There would be more blood, I know. 215 00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:31.519 I want to cover the stage and something that someone's 216 00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:32.720 going to slip on in ten minutes time. 217 00:10:32.840 --> 00:10:34.799 Yeah, we'll cover the audience in blood. 218 00:10:34.879 --> 00:10:35.080 Wow. 219 00:10:36.879 --> 00:10:39.080 But yeah, that's quite a quite a good section there. 220 00:10:40.320 --> 00:10:42.799 And I think it's around that point after that happens 221 00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:47.080 that somebody dressed in exactly the same uniform of the 222 00:10:47.080 --> 00:10:51.039 theater rushers of whichever theater you're in, enters the stage 223 00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:56.200 with some takeaway coffee cups and interrupts and lights go up, 224 00:10:56.200 --> 00:10:57.759 and turns out they're in the middle of a dress 225 00:10:57.799 --> 00:11:00.360 rehearsal for this play. So we're not actually watching the play. 226 00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:04.480 We've been watching actors doing a dress rehearsal of the play. Yes, 227 00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:07.960 which I love as a trope. Yes, have you seen 228 00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:08.600 noises Off? 229 00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:09.600 No? 230 00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:13.039 Oh, it's well, it's a farce, but it's the same 231 00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:15.399 sort of thing. You start off thinking you're watching the play, 232 00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:17.559 and then part way through suddenly the director comes in. 233 00:11:17.720 --> 00:11:20.720 Is like oh no, no, you know, realize you're watching actors. 234 00:11:21.919 --> 00:11:22.440 That's cool. 235 00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:23.600 I love trope. 236 00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:24.720 I've never seen it. 237 00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:26.960 But also obviously they did it in Salance time as well, 238 00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:30.399 so yeah, it's a similar thing similar. So can I 239 00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:33.440 feel like that was maybe a slight slight callback, Yeah, 240 00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:35.039 I can see that, but I love that they went 241 00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:37.039 to the effort as well. Of whatever theater they told 242 00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:38.919 it to, they will have said, well, we need one 243 00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:40.759 of your usher's uniforms. 244 00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:45.200 Or whatever whatever she's called. I can't remember Abby, Abby. 245 00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:47.600 Oh god, we're going to hold an Abby and Susette. 246 00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:48.240 That would be amazing. 247 00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:52.639 Yeah, well, suse was the character's name. Now, Yeah, the 248 00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:58.360 actress playing Susette is Sherry Sherry, that's it, Sherry something, 249 00:11:58.960 --> 00:12:02.600 who is a a pop star that's been stunt caste. 250 00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:05.399 It says in the fake program that she's from a 251 00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:08.639 girl group called lip Barm Brilliant. 252 00:12:11.799 --> 00:12:20.639 That's so recent, Steve, And then they made the joke 253 00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:23.840 of a pop star in a West End show as 254 00:12:23.879 --> 00:12:26.759 stunt casting. No one will buy it. In a ghost 255 00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:31.320 shot yeah, two. 256 00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:34.799 Yes, and yes, Reese is playing Marcus, who is, as 257 00:12:34.799 --> 00:12:37.480 well as being in the show, is also the director indeed, 258 00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:39.360 which he's very funny in that role. 259 00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:41.080 Yeah, so he comes back with one of his trouser 260 00:12:41.159 --> 00:12:43.080 legs missing and starts director. 261 00:12:44.519 --> 00:12:47.240 And then you've got the younger guy who was the warden, 262 00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:50.360 and he as an actor is someone who has got 263 00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:52.120 a tiny part. He's only got one line, but he 264 00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:55.120 takes it so seriously. He's like, Oh, I'm just going 265 00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:57.000 to stay in character, if that's all right, And he's like, 266 00:12:57.200 --> 00:12:59.840 during my research, it's like, does it come across that 267 00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:02.120 is still struggling with his mental health. 268 00:13:02.120 --> 00:13:05.559 The PTSD of working in this place. He takes that 269 00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:10.240 home to his wife every night and bless him. Oh. 270 00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:13.120 Then you've got Maggie who's playing. 271 00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:16.679 Crag Yes chunneling her Alison's deadman. 272 00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:21.000 In the play within a play. She's just had acid 273 00:13:21.039 --> 00:13:23.360 thrown on her face, hasn't she, And so her one 274 00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:27.279 of her eyes is like dangling down on a optic nerve. 275 00:13:27.919 --> 00:13:28.440 Her gubbins. 276 00:13:29.159 --> 00:13:31.519 Yes, next time they're going to go for a run. 277 00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:36.799 She's like a gubbins or no gubbins. I love that word. 278 00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:38.639 I'm going to take it off because it's sleeping in 279 00:13:38.639 --> 00:13:40.360 my tea, my coffee. 280 00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:43.080 She's great, she's fantastic. 281 00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:46.960 She's so the Allison's deedman from Sales Time like everything. 282 00:13:47.399 --> 00:13:49.840 Yeah, yes, I love that kind of character. 283 00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:53.120 It's so over the top but so believable. 284 00:13:54.440 --> 00:13:57.159 Yeah, the same actress who played the posh lady right 285 00:13:57.200 --> 00:13:58.559 at the start with the daddy. 286 00:13:59.080 --> 00:14:01.799 Mm hmm. I think the daddy is the the warden. 287 00:14:02.080 --> 00:14:06.519 Yes, and then Sherry was also Leanne in Bernie Clifton. 288 00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:08.240 Oh yeah, that makes sense. 289 00:14:08.919 --> 00:14:11.600 But yeah. Then you've got Steve Is playing an actor 290 00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:15.360 called Vince who's playing doctor Goudron and he is he's 291 00:14:15.399 --> 00:14:23.039 the pompous twat for one of so how it is 292 00:14:23.600 --> 00:14:25.879 I will Yeah, I was thinking how can I put this? 293 00:14:25.919 --> 00:14:30.080 And then I was just like, yeah, twat. He's He's 294 00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:32.879 got a great funny moment there where he's talking to 295 00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:37.080 the director about Sherry's acting and he says, you can't 296 00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:40.279 just plump yourself center stage and proclaim all your lines 297 00:14:40.320 --> 00:14:44.240 out into the ether. While he's doing exactly that, saying 298 00:14:44.279 --> 00:14:46.919 about how she's she doesn't listen to him, and meanwhile 299 00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:49.120 he's completely not listening to Marcus, who's trying to speak 300 00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:57.600 acting is reacting very very funny, and we get this 301 00:14:57.919 --> 00:15:01.919 scene of the director giving notes Hm, which again as 302 00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:05.919 someone who has been in that position. I found this 303 00:15:05.960 --> 00:15:09.519 particularly funny. The different responses you get to the notes 304 00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:12.200 are so true. Like he gives Maggie a note he says, 305 00:15:12.200 --> 00:15:14.159 could we have this feeling of blah blah blah? And 306 00:15:14.200 --> 00:15:18.679 Maggie goes, oh, I thought I was doing that. I 307 00:15:18.919 --> 00:15:22.759 that all the time, Like, if you were doing that, 308 00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:26.960 then I wouldn't have said nothing. Yeah, yeah, And then 309 00:15:27.200 --> 00:15:29.480 he gives himself a note. He'e like, Marcus, Oh that's me. 310 00:15:29.559 --> 00:15:30.120 What have I written? 311 00:15:30.159 --> 00:15:30.320 Oh? 312 00:15:30.360 --> 00:15:31.440 Two ticks? 313 00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:35.120 Practically perfect in every way. 314 00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:39.120 Yes. I was doing a play once and someone got 315 00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:42.039 stabbed in it and they were wearing a jumper and 316 00:15:42.080 --> 00:15:43.879 then the shirt they had on underneath had a blood 317 00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:45.559 stain on it so that we could take the jump 318 00:15:45.639 --> 00:15:48.240 off and have the blood, you know, And for some 319 00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:50.519 reason I wrote down I think this was during the 320 00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:52.360 tech or the dress. So I was in a dark 321 00:15:52.440 --> 00:15:55.559 auditorium trying to write notes, and I wrote down bloody shirt. 322 00:15:56.360 --> 00:15:57.679 And then the lights come up and I was trying. 323 00:15:57.720 --> 00:15:59.159 I was going through notes with the cast, and I 324 00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:04.679 was like, well, have I written bloody shit? That doesn't 325 00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:09.440 bode well, But yes, I love this. It's something they 326 00:16:09.480 --> 00:16:11.519 do so well, isn't it where they've set up this 327 00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:14.960 really tense atmosphere and then they just cut it completely. 328 00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:16.360 It just shatters. 329 00:16:16.720 --> 00:16:19.240 Yeah. Yeah, there's a bit of a meta moment where 330 00:16:19.399 --> 00:16:22.879 Reese's character is talking about the juxtaposing of comedy and horror, 331 00:16:23.840 --> 00:16:27.360 which obviously relates to what we're watching as well. Yeah, 332 00:16:27.759 --> 00:16:30.399 he says, it's what the pioneers of horror theater used 333 00:16:30.440 --> 00:16:34.039 to call the hot and cold shower, which is really nice. Yeah, 334 00:16:34.399 --> 00:16:36.799 because again that's what nit inside Number nine is all about, 335 00:16:36.840 --> 00:16:37.159 isn't it. 336 00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:41.320 Oh massively. Yeah, they're always joke to lull you into 337 00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:44.240 a false sense of security, and yeah, they are masters 338 00:16:44.279 --> 00:16:45.279 at that technique. 339 00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:46.799 Yeah, so I like that. 340 00:16:47.639 --> 00:16:50.159 It seems like everyone accept Reese's character wants rid of, 341 00:16:50.639 --> 00:16:52.960 or at least these character wants rid of the sus 342 00:16:52.960 --> 00:16:54.279 that character that Kara remember the name. 343 00:16:54.120 --> 00:16:57.399 Of now Sherry. Yes, so they all basically agree that 344 00:16:57.440 --> 00:16:58.519 she's no good. 345 00:16:58.600 --> 00:17:00.840 No, but she's necessary for tickets. Yes. 346 00:17:00.919 --> 00:17:03.480 The director's like, oh, you know, she's nobody else has 347 00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:07.200 got her reach, which again is so painfully true of 348 00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:08.440 commercial theater. 349 00:17:09.079 --> 00:17:11.160 Yeah. I saw a thing recently that a couple of 350 00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:12.599 days ago that they said that they felt like it 351 00:17:12.640 --> 00:17:15.440 was hurting, Like if you don't have a famous name, 352 00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:18.279 then yeah, because the amount of famous names are in stuff. 353 00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:20.160 Anything that doesn't now, no one watches it and they 354 00:17:20.200 --> 00:17:23.039 just fail. It's just like something they need to get 355 00:17:23.039 --> 00:17:24.759 away from doing. Well. 356 00:17:24.759 --> 00:17:27.480 I've heard tales of people auditioning for things and being 357 00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:29.880 asked at the audition how many Instagram followers do you have? 358 00:17:30.119 --> 00:17:30.480 Really? 359 00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:36.039 Yeah, as if that's you know, relevant, elevant. Yeah, so crazy. 360 00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:39.839 Lip balm must be quite famous. 361 00:17:40.519 --> 00:17:41.640 It sounds so awful. 362 00:17:42.680 --> 00:17:47.000 They so came third in one series of X Factor. Yeah, 363 00:17:47.359 --> 00:17:49.119 series twenty seven of X Factor. 364 00:17:50.039 --> 00:17:52.640 Yeah, lip balm. 365 00:17:54.680 --> 00:17:56.200 You could just imagine that one of them would have 366 00:17:56.599 --> 00:17:58.640 that have had different shades of lip balm.
