The World's End

About
It’s the conclusion of our watch through of Edgar Wright’s Cornetto Trilogy as we reach “The World’s End”. A film in which we learn what that thing above the door is called; another Bond gets the chance at some classy villainy; and we can all acknowledge that the Sisters of Mercy are fucking awesome. The Blood and Ice Cream Trilogy ends by combining the story of five school friends growing apart, with a sci-fi conspiracy of body-snatching alien invaders. There’s a few new faces in the cast, but essentially this is a victory lap for many of those we’ve seen before. Whilst it may be the lesser of the three films, that’s still no slight when you consider the quality of the first two. Still funny, still wonderfully executed, and possibly the best way to round things off, this is still great movie, even if it doesn’t quite match the dizzying heights of its predecessors. Watch (or re-watch) to avoid spoilers and join us.
There's only one Gary King!

LeeGood evening and welcome to Horror. I'm Lee.
ChrisI'm Chris.
AdamI'm Adam.
JenniferYeah, and I'm Jennifer.
JenniferHow are you lot not perfected this by now?
JenniferOh, we've only been doing it seven years.
LeeYeah, exactly.
JenniferI thought you had it all planned.
AdamThe worst part is,
AdamI knew that it was Chris next, so I was going to say I'm Chris.
AdamWhich is why I stopped.
AdamBecause I was like, no, I'm not.
JenniferNo. Oh, dear.
JenniferWell, it's good to see that you've really been doing this and you haven't just been lying to me.
ChrisI think it's because my my internet might actually be playing up.
LeeYeah, your your your voice is out of sync to your lips.
ChrisSo I'm apparently connected to the wrong network.
JenniferOh, what next door is?
JenniferYou're stealing it.
AdamOr is it the network?
LeeOh.
JenniferNow he's gone now.
LeeHe's got rid of him completely now, he's that upset.
AdamThat's it.
LeeNo.
AdamOh, dear. Well, when he comes back, we'll know that he's a blank.
JenniferWell, I feel like you stole my joke later Adam, but I am going to be making that comment.
JenniferThat's mainly why I'm here, really.
LeeGood.
ChrisNot not at my expense, surely not.
JenniferYes, very much so.
ChrisWhile I was in the, you know, the netherworld there,
Jennifer
AdamThe nether regions.
ChrisI was I wasn't there, but
ChrisYeah, while I was gone, there you are talking about me being a blank, how how wonderful of you.
JenniferHow did you know that when you weren't here?
ChrisI have ways and means.
Leeright.
LeeSo, yes, we are here to discuss the
Leethe final part of the Cornetto trilogy, 2013's The World's End.
Leewe've all had fun until now. I've enjoyed this film. I'm keen to see what you guys made of it on a rewatch.
Leeyes, so let's start with Chris.
LeeHow'd you get on with this?
ChrisI I remembered kind of not liking it as much as the other two.
JenniferYes.
ChrisRight?
ChrisAnd I was I was thinking to myself, why? Because I thought I remembered what happened in it.
ChrisTurns out I didn't, but.
LeeNo.
ChrisRight, somehow, I completely did not know that they were aliens and slash robots if they are or not robots, but yeah.
JenniferThat's why it's not.
JenniferDoes that mean slash actually?
ChrisWell, I realized, yeah.
LeeSlash slash your head.
ChrisYeah, there you go, that's what they are.
ChrisBut I don't know, yes, so I I actually totally forgotten that's what happened.
ChrisAll I remembered was the pubs and I think what I didn't like about it was Simon Peg's character is kind of he's much more unlikable
JenniferYes.
Christo begin for at least for quite a lot of it
Christhan he is in the others, so it but it's like it was also an evolution in a way of his acting.
ChrisSo he did act well in it, but yeah, so it just I guess it must have left a memory of,
Chrisyeah, it's not quite as good as the others.
ChrisBut as I was watching it, I was thinking, it's kind of getting better and better as it goes through.
ChrisAnd and yeah, and actually by the end,
ChrisI was really enjoying it.
ChrisAnd I was like, it's great.
ChrisIt is it's a sci-fi.
ChrisAnd they have actually got some interesting aspects to it,
Chrisespecially at the very end.
LeeYes.
ChrisBut that's where for me it really, okay, you know, I accept this, this is this is got some really interesting parts.
ChrisYeah, so so I did actually end up really enjoying it.
ChrisBut for quite a bit, I was thinking,
Chrisoh, it's not it's not there.
ChrisLike the other two are just so good.
LeeI will say I
ChrisAnd I probably do still think Shaun of the Dead probably is my favorite.
AdamGo on, you.
LeeWhat were you going to say, Lee?
LeeI was just going to say, before we cut over to Adam, yeah, I was just going to say that that was my experience with it is, I remember seeing it and being mildly disappointed and therefore I didn't go back for ages.
ChrisYeah.
LeeAnd then when I did, after, yeah, maybe eight, nine years, I suddenly went, oh, actually, no, once you put a bit of distance between the other two,
ChrisYeah.
LeeYeah, then all of a sudden, I saw it for all of its, its great features. Yeah, and I was like, oh, excellent.
JenniferIt does have a lot.
LeeI've now got I've now can really enjoy it. So.
Leeyes, Adam.
AdamYes, I mean, I saw this once before.
AdamAnd I think it was at Lee's, Lee.
Adamwhich was the only time I saw it and I know that there was,
AdamI remember sort of we were all talking about it at the time.
AdamAnd your brother Dean said, he thought that Simon Peg and Nick Frost were playing the wrong characters.
LeeYeah.
Chris
AdamIn that they're sort of like, you know, basically Simon Peg has the Nick Frost character in this because Nick Frost character is kind of feckless, sort of, you know, useless or pain in the ass.
AdamIn sort of in sort of not necessarily major ways, but enough that you sort of like,
Adambut yeah, and we were sort of like, did Simon Peg want to have all the good lines?
JenniferOh.
AdamMaybe.
AdamBecause usually, you know, it's like Nick Frost is the funniest thing in Shaun of the Dead and possibly the funniest thing in Hot Fuzz.
Lee
AdamAnd it's almost like, no, I want that.
AdamI'm sick of being the straight man.
AdamCan I have the the feature role of the ne'-do-well with good lines?
AdamI don't know.
AdamBut and I, yeah, I seem to think that was how we were talking about it at the time.
AdamNow, obviously, like you said, Chris, I've seen it once before.
AdamAnd up until our discussion of well, actually, up until our discussion of Shaun of the Dead, I was perfectly prepared to say I remembered this film.
AdamHowever,
Adamwhilst discussing Shaun of the Dead and not remembering that Kevin Eldon is in Hot Fuzz,
LeeYeah.
AdamI was then like, but I've seen Hot Fuzz quite a lot.
AdamNot recently, but I've seen it quite a lot.
AdamSo I was like, why did I not remember that?
AdamSo I was perfectly prepared that this could be an utterly new viewing.
JenniferYeah.
AdamYeah.
AdamNo.
AdamYou know, almost so I was but I I did remember I I remember I mean, I remembered the the essentials of it,
Adambut none of the dialogue, so the dialogue was still brand new and funny and stuff. But I still I know what you mean.
AdamI still hang on to that thing that maybe Simon Peg just isn't charming enough to play the Rogish Nick Frost character.
ChrisThey're roguish.
AdamNess.
ChrisMessy.
AdamYeah. Do you know what I mean?
AdamIt's like.
AdamHe comes over more as a dick than a lovable dick.
ChrisYeah.
AdamIf you see what I mean.
LeeI'm not sure they could have played them the other way around that like if you'd switched their roles, I don't think they would have worked.
ChrisYeah.
LeeSo I think they've done it the right way around.
ChrisIt made sense.
AdamOh, no.
AdamIt's they are playing the right roles.
ChrisIt's just our adjusting to that.
AdamBut it just is, yeah.
AdamIt's sort of.
ChrisI almost felt like if if I was watching it in a cinema with a group of drunk people, I would have appreciated the first major half of it more.
JenniferYes.
LeeOh.
LeeI was going to say,
Leebefore I throw it over to Jennifer, my so my first viewing of this, I it was one of my mentioned days at the cinema when I used to book a day off work.
AdamOh, yeah.
Leeand I watched like a 10 a m. screening of Despicable Me 2.
LeeAnd then 1 o'clock or something, I watched Pacific Rim, then I went and sat in the pub with Jennifer and Chris Drains and had some and a few beers.
LeeAnd then we got a bottle of rum and then we went in and watched this for the last screening and.
JenniferDoesn't sound like me.
AdamNah.
Leeyeah, and yeah, and that's what I yeah, so I was in the right. I was drunk and there was a load of us and we did have a really good scream.
LeeBut yeah, again, it was one of those I came away and went, that was a little bit disappointing, but I wasn't too disheartened.
LeeBut then, yeah, like yourselves, didn't rush back to it the same way as I did with the others.
Jennifer
LeeNo.
JenniferYes, I think something similar.
JenniferBut I wonder if it's because the other two were so good that I was I had very high expectations of this,
Jenniferwhich it didn't meet, whereas now going back to it, as you say,
Jenniferappreciating it for what it is, it's a good film. But I think at the time it was like, oh, they're going to do it again.
JenniferAnd it's going to be almost the same but better.
ChrisYeah.
JenniferIt wasn't, it was different.
JenniferAnd that's probably the initial thing and as you say, yeah, not liking Simon Peg, you're like, oh, but he's sort of a guy.
ChrisHe's not wrong.
JenniferIt's not his fault.
LeeWell I almost felt that with him throughout this though, like.
JenniferNo, he's a twat.
LeeHe's he's a twat, but it's that thing of everybody knows that guy who was the coolest person in their youth.
LeeAnd therefore.
LeeNever sees any reason to change anything.
LeeAnd doesn't realize that, yeah, what's, as she says, what's charming at 17, now you're pushing 40.
LeeNow it's just not quite.
Leeyeah, so like I did see him as yeah, I mean he is a dick.
JenniferI think now maybe I appreciate it more.
JenniferBecause I think this must be the third or fourth time because we are now the old people.
LeeYes.
JenniferI think I probably have a little bit more sympathy for him trying to recreate that.
JenniferWhereas maybe when we watched it, how long ago was it then? 15, 10 years?
LeeYeah.
LeeI think.
AdamNine.
JenniferYeah, we're still a bit too young and cool ourselves to really appreciate that.
AdamYou know.
LeeWe were somewhere.
AdamI think I think you've hit the nail on the head there, Jennifer.
AdamI think being at the being at the age that they were at or the characters are at is like, oh, no, yeah, that does it a lot of it makes a lot more sense.
JenniferYes.
AdamBecause as I mean, there is the thing like sort of I was thinking about it that there's it's weird that everyone cracks on if he's because he's that much of a dick, if you see what I mean.
JenniferYeah, why not to leave him alone?
AdamIt sort of it sort of implies more of the friendship.
AdamIs that they're willing to stick it out even though.
ChrisI was wondering if it was a bit of morbid curiosity,
Chrislike, how how bad? We've just got to see what he's like.
ChrisLike I think I I would be tempted if that'd been the situation.
ChrisLike let's let's go see how awful this night can become if we just let him run things for the evening.
ChrisAnd and and potentially they are even though their lives have gone well, they probably, you know, they're probably quite living quite sedate safe lives.
ChrisAnd they may have just fancied a bit of a, okay, you know, so I don't know, I yeah, I was questioning that, but I kind of thought, yeah, maybe.
ChrisIt could.
ChrisI don't necessarily appreciate which village they've come from either.
AdamBut I think weirdly, like you said, it's but not as it turns out like Paddy Constantine and Nick Frost characters aren't doing that well.
Chris
AdamYou know, Paddy Constantine clearly is like sort of unfulfilled or whatever like that and then like Nick Frost says that his marriage is down the toilet.
Chris
AdamAnd stuff like that.
AdamSo it's all but it but then curiously the two who seem to be settled and what they're doing are the ones that become blanks.
LeeYes.
Chris
AdamSo there isn't an element of that message there.
ChrisYeah, no, I assume there probably is more more message going on than I'd necessarily realized the first viewing.
ChrisAnd yeah, started to to perhaps appreciate that this time.
JenniferChris, don't be a blank.
ChrisYeah.
AdamWell.
AdamIs that like Billy don't be a hero? Because if that's like the B side of that one.
LeeChris, don't be a blank.
LeeNo.
ChrisI like that a blank.
LeeBut yeah, I mean, it is true.
LeeI mean, I yeah, I've picked up on it more in my later viewings, yeah, that it is more of a metaphor for like going from doing your own thing and to yeah, to fitting into society, so when they become the blanks, it's when they basically just give up and just go into this is what I should be doing.
LeeThis is how I should be and not, you know, not wanting to tear it up and go your own way and have your own.
LeeBut yeah.
LeeAnd I sort of think I saw that more and in the later viewings.
ChrisYeah.
LeeYeah.
ChrisAnd even seems to be almost like South Park idea of essentially.
ChrisEvery option is bad.
ChrisBecause really, you know,
Chrishaving the aliens is bad at the end, but also getting rid of them is bad.
ChrisIt's like you kind of everything can be good or bad, just going to extremes is probably not what you want to do.
ChrisYou just got to be aware of when the limit is.
JenniferYeah.
JenniferReach.
JenniferI think I was less upset by the very, very end this time because I think initially I wanted it to finish on the sort of high almost like they're driving off into the sunset.
JenniferAnd I felt like the end bit was the sort of afterthought.
JenniferI didn't mind it quite so much this time, maybe because I was ready for it.
JenniferBut it felt a bit like, do we need this?
JenniferWhat do you think?
ChrisI quite liked.
ChrisYeah, go on, yeah.
AdamTo be honest, I'd like to see more of the apocalypse.
JenniferOh, I thought you might.
AdamBut I do like a post-apocalyptic film.
AdamIf they if they were to do like, if they'd have done it almost like this is the this is like the opening monologue.
JenniferYes.
AdamAnd then just shown us the the post-apocalyptic world as a comedy.
AdamI'd have probably.
AdamBut also.
AdamBut and I I can't help but feel that this is one of the main problems with it is that.
AdamIt starts off and obviously you've got some you know, obviously the music's all appropriate for them at school and everything else like that.
AdamSo there's a lot of throwback songs in there and stuff like that.
AdamBut.
AdamThe fact that it ends and the credits and it's bloody Happy Hour by The House Martins.
LeeYeah.
AdamThat's it.
AdamI fucking hate that song with a fiery fucking passion.
JenniferDo you like that song?
AdamAnd so I was almost like, right, we've gone post-apocalyptic, it's going to be a fight. Oh, fuck off.
AdamWe're a good place to be, that's what we are.
AdamFuck you, prick.
AdamAnd sorry, that song just tits me off.
AdamAnd then, then you get fucking this corrosion by the Sisters of Mercy.
LeeYeah.
AdamWhich is I think I would have been a bit more.
LeeYeah.
AdamIt almost it sort of it sort of caught me just at the last moment, you know?
LeeYeah.
AdamSo.
LeeI only listened.
AdamOh, you bastards.
LeeWhen it comes in and it's primal scream and I hate primal scream and I particularly dislike that song.
LeeBut there's no getting around the fact, once you've heard it, you're fucked for a week because you're not getting it out there.
AdamOh, absolutely, yeah.
LeeAnd you need, that's it.
LeeAnd you're like, oh, nuts.
LeeWhy have I done that to myself again?
LeeBut.
LeeYeah.
AdamBut there is.
AdamBut no, I think that the I like that because the ending is obviously the bit where's because they're talking and Andy is saying to.
AdamIs saying, oh, where he's given up booze.
Jennifer
AdamAnd he's just saying it takes balls to walk in and order a order a glass of water.
JenniferOh, that's right.
AdamIn a room full of people who more paint.
AdamWhich is obviously what he does at the end.
LeeYeah.
AdamAnd it's kind of, you know, that's the there's the implied growth.
JenniferOh.
JenniferI see.
JenniferOh, what's got that.
AdamGary has been through is that he's, you know, he's not sitting there thinking that actually this is the.
AdamThe exemplar of manliness is that he has to be hard all the time.
JenniferI thought now.
JenniferI assumed they'd stopped brewing and run out of beer and water was all that was left.
JenniferSo.
AdamThat was the other thing as well.
AdamI just thought, surely beer.
Adamwould be more of a pain in the ass to get hold of at that point.
AdamAnd you see the way he looks at that Cornetto rapper which is.
Jennifer
LeeYeah.
AdamJust a beautiful little bit of little visual bit.
JenniferYeah, that was nice.
AdamI love that.
ChrisDoesn't beer become easier because water is often you know, essentially poisonous, you need to.
JenniferYeah.
JenniferOnly if you've got them because people used to drink more alcohol because drinking water get you sick or something.
ChrisYeah.
JenniferYeah, who knows who knows how to brew it like that nowadays when they just press a button and it does it magically.
AdamOh Christ, you've just give me a nightmare vision of a thousand fucking pop-up brewerries on a.
AdamOn a fucking plane somewhere.
AdamOh, Jesus, yeah, you can't get water anywhere, but you can get.
AdamHopsen's old cock or.
JenniferStop.
JenniferArtisan beer.
AdamYes.
JenniferYes.
ChrisI suppose interesting that Gary is happy, essentially, he's still disliked by the majority of people in his new role.
Chrisyou know, looking after the minorities and and drinking healthily, but it's like he can be happy.
Chrisbeing, you know, a drunken loser, he can also be happy being a a healthy loser.
JenniferAs long as he's upsetting people then.
ChrisYeah, he's he just seems to like being a bit of a an outsider, really.
AdamIt's like it's like sort of, yeah, he does he does get rewarded.
Chris
AdamIt's like, no, you go off and be a marauder, everyone else is going to be like a fucking subsistence farmer.
ChrisYeah.
AdamAnd now you'll just go from place to place with your your four robot mates and a big sword and you you know, you go off and live the Viking existence.
AdamAnd it sort of like, just seem a trifle unfair to me.
JenniferYou feel like he shouldn't be rewarded somehow he should have been, yeah.
JenniferYeah, maybe.
JenniferBut then it was his idea for the pub crawl.
JenniferI mean, it or is that the problem he shouldn't have therefore, yes, taken everyone down with him.
JenniferYeah.
AdamBut no, he's I mean,
Adamhe definitely seems to be having the best time.
Jennifer
AdamBut then maybe sometimes I do think that the end of the world would be the only thing that would actually sort things out.
AdamYou know,
Adamin the you know, personally.
AdamYou know,
Adamit just be like, oh, well, you know, that there'd be I mean, let's face it, well, at the end of the world, we don't have to clear up in the morning.
AdamThere you go, that's fucking brilliant.
JenniferThat's why.
AdamThe side one.
AdamThat's the point one, mate.
AdamYou know, there's a lot that you could let go at that point, you know, you don't have to give two shits about.
AdamWhich is quite nice.
AdamSo, yeah, maybe it is a better better reality.
AdamYou know,
JenniferBut then would you not.
Jenniferjust go along part of me was like, why not just go along with the aliens?
JenniferYou know, a nice, you know, sensible lifestyle.
JenniferNo, did only I thought that?
LeeNo.
ChrisI thought that.
LeeYeah.
LeeAs well.
JenniferYeah.
ChrisYeah, that's that's the age we're at.
ChrisIt's like, yeah, that sounds like they got things in order, really, doesn't it?
JenniferYeah.
LeeYeah.
AdamWell,
AdamI mean, essentially, it does that's the other question, is does it make anything particularly different?
Jennifer
ChrisYeah.
AdamYeah.
AdamBecause all you've done is sort of, you know, it's only the people that they, you know, it's the people you go along with it, you're fine. But then when they come back and they've essentially got their memories and still and everything else like that, so it's essentially it's like, oh yeah, they didn't even kill him.
AdamThey just sort of made.
JenniferI think they did and they just put their memories into a robot or not?
ChrisWho is that killing then?
LeeYeah, but then the robot has got the memories so effectively, yeah.
AdamIt's all gone extremely blank, hasn't it?
ChrisWe can't we can't get philosophy, you know, this this fast.
ChrisWhat what about what's what's everyone's favorite name of pub?
ChrisAnd are any of them real?
ChrisI'm assuming they might be.
AdamApparently, they're all they they Googled it. They're they're the name they are the names of all pubs of real pubs.
AdamBut they're also they're also literally the journey that they do through the film.
AdamSo, I've got I've got the list here somewhere.
AdamBut but the pub the pubs are where is it?
AdamYes.
AdamSo, so what you what what which pub and what happens? So you've got the first the first post, which is obviously where they start.
AdamThe old familiar, which is where they think where they notice that the inside looks exactly the same as the last pub.
LeeYeah.
AdamAnd they start talking about like, what is it Starbucks?
LeeStarbucking, yeah.
AdamYeah, that's it.
Adamthen they go to the famous cock, which is where Gary is first recognized.
Jennifer
LeeYeah.
AdamFor being a cock.
AdamSo, then it's the cross hands, which is where they have the fight like so it's the fight sequence and also it's them working together.
Adam
AdamThe good companions, which is where they decide that they've got to just pretend they're having a good time.
JenniferYeah, together and carry on.
AdamAnd get to get out of it.
Adamthen it's the trusty servant where they meet the Reverend Green.
JenniferOh.
JenniferYeah.
Adamthe two-headed dog.
AdamIs where Sam meets the twins that she used to know.
LeeOh, yeah.
AdamRight.
Adam
AdamThe mermaid is where they send the three girls to seduce them.
AdamSo that's like sirens, like a siren call, so mermaid.
Adam
AdamThe beehive, which is where the plan is revealed and the network says about a universal hive mind.
Adam
AdamThere's the King's Head where Gary smashes against the world to prove he's not been swapped.
Adamhole in the wall where
Adamoh, I can't remember, Paddy Constantine drives the car through the wall.
LeeYeah.
AdamAnd then obviously the world's end where the world ends.
JenniferOh, I've got, yeah.
AdamAnd actually the the the pub the pub after the world has ended, the post-apocalyptic pub is called The Rising Sun.
Jennifer
Chris
AdamSo.
ChrisThat's pretty good.
ChrisSo that's I mean, that's it what I was I was wondering watching it this time, it felt like more had gone into it than I had appreciated.
ChrisAnd clearly, it had.
AdamOh, it's it's the usual thing that they have they've really put in.
ChrisYeah.
AdamYou know, there's there's that same thing, there's a lot of construction goes on there.
AdamBut the one thing I still can't work out is quite how they get from I've just we've just had a fight with people who come apart.
AdamTo like it's a conspiracy.
AdamDo you know what I mean?
AdamThat they couldn't just go out and immediately say to someone.
LeeYou're not going to believe what's just happened in there.
AdamYou're attacked by robots.
JenniferWell, have a look at the police and stuff.
AdamYeah.
LeeThe other ones went no.
LeeAnd that's right.
LeeThe phones didn't work and then.
LeeBut yeah, it was slightly spurious
JenniferThey were very tenacious.
AdamThey just stayed on the pub crawl.
JenniferYeah.
AdamI know.
AdamYeah.
AdamWell done to them.
AdamWell done to them for being intelligent because there's nothing more infuriating than when you're watching a sci-fi movie and the fucker who won't fucking get it.
LeeYeah.
AdamEven when they've seen this shit.
AdamWhereas at least with this, everyone sees it, everyone's like,
Adamno, that's not right and this is not something this is not just something we don't know about because it's a specialist thing or.
JenniferOh, love it.
AdamYou know, this is weird, alarming shit.
JenniferStill not laughing, yeah.
AdamYeah, and we've and we've all we've all seen it.
JenniferWe have.
AdamYou know, it's.
AdamAnd it's yeah, I think that they sort of but yeah, that sort of leap is also, how fucking good are they all at fighting?
LeeI like, well.
AdamI mean, not Eddie Marson, but yeah.
LeeNick Frost turns into Kung Fu Panda in the beehive when he just picks up those two two stalls and suddenly becomes a Marshall life expert.
LeeBut.
LeeTo be fair.
LeeYeah, I I yeah.
LeeI still enjoyed it.
JenniferYou think by this film they, you know, they practiced.
LeeYeah.
AdamI I think that's the thing is I I think it's again, it's that hybrid thing.
AdamYou know, because it's not because it's obviously, it's partially sort of a getting older story and, you know, that the personal side of it.
AdamWhereas the genre side of it is clearly alien invasion, like body snatchers stuff.
JenniferYeah.
AdamAnd but, you know, those don't usually turn into action films like sci-fi action films.
AdamYou know what I mean? Body snaps, they're always much more insidious.
Jennifer
AdamBut but still, you know, it's Edgar and Simon Peg, they want to put fight they're going to put fight scenes in there.
AdamAnd like you're saying, maybe they've just got too good at it at this point that they were like.
ChrisIt would have seemed a bit weird.
AdamAnyone could whack some prick.
AdamYou know what I mean?
AdamBecause even down to that, Gary does seem to be just starting on the bloke.
LeeYeah, I thought that, yeah, if it wasn't for the fact he turned out to be a robot,
Leehe would have just murdered a bloke for not taking his invite to come on a pub crawl and smashed his head in against the toilet.
LeeWhich is.
JenniferHe's not a good bloke, is he? We hate him.
LeeWe hate him.
JenniferBut you know.
JenniferLuckily for him it was a blank.
JenniferYeah.
LeeAnd also now some of his best friends are blanks.
LeeSo, you know, you can't.
LeeYeah, going back, trying to work out again the point where
JenniferYes.
LeeGets turned.
JenniferThat's what I enjoyed this time, knowing the story.
AdamOh, yes.
JenniferAnd this was where my link came to my brother because I was watching it and as they came out the pub,
Jenniferand I knew at this point, obviously, he had been turned, so I was watching it from the sister's point of view.
JenniferGoing, why hasn't she worked out that her brother has been turned?
JenniferAnd in that moment, I went, yeah, I've met my brother.
ChrisYou got to be able to tell.
JenniferAnd I was like, So.
JenniferLet's put the up to vote.
ChrisWho does that make more of a blank?
JenniferYes, when would we work out that Chris is a blank?
JenniferAdam, when would you work out many days, hours, minutes?
JenniferYes.
AdamI mean,
AdamWhen you told me?
JenniferYeah.
LeeYeah.
LeeI was going to say,
AdamI don't know.
LeeWhen he shows.
AdamFrom his own lips.
AdamI don't know.
LeeHe's going away now.
AdamI can't remember what it was me and Claire were watching the other day.
AdamBut there was the question came up of when would you start to believe this.
Adamweird thing had happened.
AdamAnd it was definitely, well, as soon as someone else was saying it, because at that point.
AdamYou sort of buy into it, you know.
LeeYeah.
AdamI think before that, I'd just be oblivious.
AdamSo, never fear, Chris, it's but then.
AdamAs they point out, the blanks are essentially just the same.
JenniferGood.
ChrisSame much.
LeeYeah.
AdamYeah.
AdamThey're the same.
AdamApart from.
AdamI'd imagine they're basically, you know, because obviously, I'd assume that the network would put things in there such as, no, you'll never want to not be part of the network or you'll never not want to.
AdamYou'll never think, do you know what, this is a bit crap and I want something else.
AdamYou know, they would put in essentially, you know, restraining sort of elements in them.
JenniferYeah, isn't that the point till the end and then they can all do what they like.
JenniferSo.
ChrisYeah.
JenniferYeah.
ChrisOnce, yeah, once the network leaves, yeah.
JenniferWhich isn't much different perhaps from what the network would have made them do anyway, which is the sad bits.
JenniferOr.
Lee
LeeYeah.
LeeAnd again, it's a little bit Cabin in the Woods with the whole yeah, but if these two people weren't pricks, the entire human civilization could have continued.
JenniferYeah.
LeeAnd then and then one stoner has to go and balls it up for the entire planet. It's it is it's back to that selfish stoner cabin in the woods.
JenniferWho's the stoner?
LeeWhat no, so the I mean, yes.
LeeSo he's a drunkard in this.
LeeBut in Cabin in the Woods, it's the stoner.
JenniferYeah.
ChrisOh, right.
ChrisI see.
JenniferYes.
ChrisHe does he does try to get some, doesn't he?
AdamThe the stoner is in Cabin in the Woods.
AdamThe stoner is being asked to be killed by someone.
JenniferYeah.
AdamIt's like a self-sacrifice thing.
AdamWhere this is I mean this side round, it's more just Gary's like, fuck off.
LeeYeah.
AdamAnd because his mates are pissed,
Adamthey back him up.
JenniferYeah.
AdamWill be.
JenniferThat's it.
JenniferThe next morning you'd all be going, what did we why did we agree to that?
JenniferOh, we should have just left him in pub one.
JenniferYeah.
AdamBecause that's the thing as well, is that there're there's got to be I mean, I love the fact that there's a sort of there's that element to Andy that he's got to.
AdamFuck it.
AdamDo you know what I mean? Where it's like, no, this is already gone fucking weird.
AdamAnd at that point, he's found out that Gary is lying about his mother dying.
AdamAnd he's almost got to he he's literally got to the world's end.
AdamHe's like, yeah, fuck it.
JenniferWe just take those, why am I bothered?
AdamYeah, fuck it, we'll do it.
AdamBecause at that point, they're all like, oh, well, he can drive us out.
AdamI mean, I love again, I love that sort of thing because I can assure you that in in the event of, you know, blue plastic people invading.
JenniferYou'd be ready for us, Adam, is this what you're telling us?
JenniferYou'd be there.
AdamWell,
AdamI'm just saying, if I was pissed, I'd still probably drive away from it.
JenniferYeah.
LeeThis this was my thought as well.
LeeA someone who doesn't condone drinking and driving and has literally gotten in the car having had a single sip, you think the alien apocalypse.
JenniferOkay.
LeeThe alien apocalypse is an acceptable reason to get What's the worst that's going to happen?

AdamSo he's in he's in.
ChrisI I thought I I recognized him as one of the people in the pub, but.

Adamwell, I won't talk about anyone who turns up in all three or turns up until they've appeared in both films.
AdamLike or all three films that they're appearing in and stuff like that.
AdamBut this has fucked me up, Peter Sarafinowic is supposedly in this film.

AdamAnd they run off.
ChrisYeah, yeah.
AdamYeah.
AdamYeah.
AdamThat's meant to be him.

AdamAnd loads of he it's.
AdamHe's credited for it on IMDB.
AdamAnd he's credited like, I've seen it on other sites credit it.

AdamWell, I did I did find a what culture video which had people who aren't in films, but they're credited in them.
Adam
Adamand one of them was and they said,
