This week on the podcast, we are joined by comedian Lauren Festa. And we've written songs about M3GAN. Hello. Hello, and welcome to the Royds Revue podcast. I'm Rob and we are back once again talking about 2020 twos Megan. And we are joined by a very funny comedian, Lauren Festa. Thank you for joining us, Lauren. Absolutely hyped to talk about it. And Andy, how are you? I'm doing well Lauren, we are so happy to have you. Can I open up the show by I? This might make you feel uncomfortable or awkward, so I'm going to start off right, making our guests uncomfortable off the bat. That's how we do it. I'm really excited to have you on the show for a big reason. I'm going to tell you why my father thinks you are hysterical. Yes, yes, yes, he. No no no, he stopped listening a while ago. But he has seen you and I do a few shows, and every time he mentions how funny you are. And when I told him you were on the podcast, he got excited. So. So I just want to tell you, off the bat, my father finds you funnier than he finds me. Yeah. But my dad has told me after multiple comedy shows. Rob, I know you like your comedy. I really wish you'd stick to music. Lauren, can you go ahead and tell our listeners where they can find you on the socials and any shows you may have coming up? I am l fest. Excellent. So you go ahead. You follow Lauren on all the socials. She is very funny. I, I this one he'll listen to. We had a good we have a good guest this week. That's what he tells me. I'll listen on the good guests. Thanks. That. Lauren, is it all right if Andy and I ask you a couple questions? So our listeners get to know you. Andy, would you like to go first? And of course. Yes! Yeah. Rob's music. Andy. Yes. My. That's true. That's nothing new. Yeah. First off, does anyone know what the plural of mongoose is? For my first question. All right. Sure. Lauren, how many monkeys do you think you could take in a fight? I'm sorry. I meant the bicycle brand. Mongoose. Yeah, yeah, that's my bad. I I I I'm going off. What you said. That's that's a fair point. That's a all right. So so either way, you're not going to fare well. Bicycle or critter. You're not doing well. Okay. Okay. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. That's true. I. Oh, yeah. And that's when you found your life's calling. You're going to search for lawsuits. You see a Walmart truck drumming. Young, Lauren. If there was one household appliance or object that you could get rid of forever for every one. Two. What would it be? That's a good shout. Absolutely. Well, see, it's not a matter of what we hate. It's what I'd like to make, more difficult for other people. You know, I hate. I hate everyone. And our most recent guest before you was Rene Fuentes. Other comedian. And he had a great answer. He said dishwasher. And I said, yeah, because I don't have a dishwasher. Anyway. But if you got rid of a vacuum, you could always just use a dustbuster. Yeah, but I'm saying at least there's an alternative. You're going to make everyone's life harder. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the point of this question. Rene really shot a, arrow through it last week when he said dishwasher, and I was like, oh, shit. That's right. I don't have one of those. Yeah, I have an answer now. It's not a matter of hating it. It's a matter of. I don't have one, so I don't want anyone to have one. No, that's. That's a much better answer, because I also don't have it. She's plotting. Got. You have to. Yeah. Little giants are just normal people. As I said, little giant. Little giants are just normal sized people. I didn't, I had no idea. I'll be honest. I've never seen Little Giants. That's the football one. Right? Okay. Take that. Nolan. Here's a question that a lot of guests have seemed to hate. So I'm going to continue with this theme of questioning. Lauren, do your best impression. Of a squirrel who thinks their neighbor is spying on them. And just like they're just angry little squirrel. Okay. Yeah. Honestly, I like that you told us because it would be a bad idea to throw an acorn at your own computer screen. Do I? I feel like I just said acorn acorns are hard wired to say it's not really, but I hate it because I always say egg acorn. But it's acorn. I. I've heard, you know, you're not the first person I've. I've heard say that. Yeah. You always. You always missed that first. For. What? Yeah. I think that's the same word. I don't think forward is a word. You know, I knew it. Just be grown men buying that thing. Yeah. No. For. Wait, spell that again. Yeah, that is a word. Yeah. We were talking about forward because some people. Yeah, but you are correct. But we you made us look really stupid there. So. You're crushing this. I mean. I'm gonna be honest. I knew it was safe because it's a yellow logo. I think it's weird that it's a red hat with a yellow hammer and sickle on it. I'm going to be honest, I think that's weird. Andy. Okay, okay. You know what? What? Okay. Andy. What year did the movie Megan come out? That was three years ago. That's crazy. With our very first episode, Jurassic Park. It didn't seem that funny. Oh, okay. Okay. Shit. And what was its little bird? Andy? Oh, the wicker basket pedia. Oh, yeah. What? Dance! Oh, okay. Those movie. Those movies make so much money. And if you ever go to Universal in Orlando, that ride always has the longest. Wait. Yeah. That movie was diarrhea. Yeah, that was the third Jurassic World. And now. Now there's the fourth Jurassic World rebirth or the. Yeah, where the dinosaurs have knuckles. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Voiced by Idris Elba. Still. Yeah. Bottom rifle. Yeah. Oh my doggy. Yeah. Oh, that is a future episode. Unfortunately. Apparently it's good. Yeah, it's most movies. They just look cool. Yeah. Do they have to be three hours? No. I. Yeah, well, he does the same thing with Titanic, too. He's. He's got to have, like, three of the top five spots at all time. I think he's lost it all in his divorces. Are you guys ready to talk about Megan from 2022? This movie opens up with a commercial for these horrifying toys. The perpetual pets. And my first thought when this movie started, I got pissed because I didn't realize this was part of the movie. I had never seen this before, and an ad started playing on a movie I had rented through Prime, and I was like, fuck this. I'm not sitting through commercials when I pay to rent the movie. Now, but I was wrong. Yeah, it turns out sometimes you just need to take a deep breath. Yeah, because my TV, yeah, yeah, my TV has a remote in it. But, I mean, that is. Maybe. I don't know if that's for the better or the worse in the movie, but the tone is all over the place. So. I should just we are doing at least Andy and I watched the theatrical release. I don't know if Lauren. Did you watch the unrated version? Okay. That's crazy, because this is a movie right off the bat. Like in the ads. Like this looks like something that's right up teenagers alleys. A creepy doll. Charles plays Chucky right? Never seen it. Oh. From Rugrats. The little dweeb pumped that little shit across the street. He's bringing down Tommy. Like hell yeah. No, no, Tommy is the goat. Oh, a little dill. What's the Rugrats podcast now? How did they, legit, though? They had a great line on the Rugrats ones where they're running around naked and they're like, you can't do that. And one of the moms goes, face it, the 60s are over, and we lost. And like, that's just a line I think of every now and then. Yeah. Katie and her parents are driving up to a hill so they can go skiing or whatever. And she's playing with her perpetual pet. This toy's voice is annoying. And I get this is supposed to be like a Furby parody, but we're also like 20 some odd years out from the Furby, so maybe we're a little late on the Furby parodies here. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Well, that because you could see parents saying that actual sentence to the kids today with actual toys. It's like in, the video games, and they have the little figurines that you put on the thing. It's like, what? Why do I have to buy figures to play video games? Today. This is hilarious that the dad gets him and his wife killed because he knows jack shit about cars. Like, I don't know a lot about cars, but I know when a car is a four wheel drive, right? He's like, I thought it was. It looks like a four wheel drive. What does that mean? Yeah, this dude. This. This was a divorce. If they survive this. Yeah. No, he, And they get absolutely wrecked by this oncoming truck. I'm surprised Katy even survived this or is able to walk afterwards. Yeah, but, like, it is literally like a cut here, a cut there. But for the most part, you walk that one off. Yeah. It hit. Yeah. You know, that car is okay. Compact. You see him walking away afterwards? We cut to the company that makes perpetual pets funky. We meet Gemma. She's working on this super high tech doll that isn't ready yet. And her associates are testing Cole or helping her. Her boss, David, played by Ronny Chang, walks in. And this lady, Gemma, is straight up evil because she's like, yeah, and the doll's going to listen in on children speaking, which was an episode of a cartoon, probably multiple cartoons, but I've definitely seen this premise somewhere. But if you're designing toys for kids and it's like, no, this is going to listen in on the children, it's like, oh, you're going to you're going to enjoy eternal hellfire. I disagree. I know what you meant. Oh. But like, I'm talking about trigger like toys. Like, I really don't care if we listen in on adults. Adults are fucked. But, like, you can't be listening to a kids. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Wait, is that the actress? Oh, I had no idea. No. Well. Well, after she receives the call and it found out that her sister and brother in law are dead, and she takes in Katy, I think they actually do a pretty good job of establishing that she's actually not heartless, because she actually does care about Katy, but she doesn't know what to do. And she never really wanted this. But then it also brings in this weird thing where it's like, why wouldn't you let her go live with her grandparents? Yeah. Multiple times throughout the movie, they say to her like she could just go live with the grandparents in Florida. And she's like, no, she needs to live in Oregon. Why? It's not a what? It's full of weirdos. Yeah, like. Right. Well, no, I think it really does buy at one point. We really dive into that aspect of it because, like, they even start calling. Yeah, they even start calling her out for it. But, Yes. Yes. Oh, yeah. This first night together, Katie wants Gemma to read her a bedtime story. Am I heartless? She seems a little too old for a bedtime story. Yeah. Is that a little too old for a bedtime story? Okay. Yeah. That's that's a much better point. I. Oops. We meet this therapist lady. She is the worst character in this movie. She comes in, and she's immediately judging her about Katie being in her pajamas. Still, she. But. And then she goes, I think we should let Katie lead the session. And then goes, hey, Katie, play with this. So I start letting Katie lead the session. Lady. Hahahahaha! But like, I don't I don't get what this woman's goal is because she comes in and she's just nasty to everyone right off the bat. This woman just lost her sister. This girl lost her parents and she's like, why are you in pajamas? Play with this toy. It's like, lady, go into this with a little compassion for both of these people. Yes. Yeah. This is also where we learn that Gemma and her sister weren't really all that close. Because the therapist. Like how closely with it? She's, like, back up. It's like, Yeah. It was. I thought it was pretty bad writing, but, hey, whatever they're going to do, I'm not a script writer. Gemma then guilts Katie a little bit and she's like, all right, so you just watch yourself. I'm going to go down the homework. Leave me alone. Yeah. The only thing that comes back is Chekhov's robot. Bruce. Yeah. Well, here's a weird thing. So after Gemma goes to working in her office for a while, Katie comes in and they start to really bond over Gemma's job. And this is where you get the sense that Jim is fucking stupid because you create toys and an eight year old has just come to live with you. Hey, want to come see me create toys? Boom, this kid's invested and you're bonding because right away, the minute she's like, oh, check out my job, she's like, oh, okay. And now they're bonding. Why wouldn't Gemma just think of this? That is true. But like if you need to work because she says like, oh because we do learn like a week has passed at this point and she hasn't done any work. So I'm imagining I'm taking that as context that like they spent the last week together, but never in that week did you explain to her. I create toys. Yeah. Oh, but like, it's just something you bond over, you know? And, like, if it's toys. Yeah, yeah. Right. Yeah. I mean, that is absolutely the the idea they give away in this movie. Yeah, it makes sense. I totally get it. I don't. I have no way. I'm assuming it's the actor who played the. Okay, I don't I didn't know who any of these people were other than Ronnie Chang. For a for a guy who does a movie. But. I'm going to ask for guy who does a movie podcast. I watch very little media. So I'm like, yeah, you guys mentioned I have like, I don't know, on yeah, I know I get the I get the character names. Yeah, absolutely. That's what this whole podcast is. We did miss a scene earlier. I want to make a quick jump back when, Ronnie Chang first sees Megan and Cole forgot to put a piece in, and she looks like she had a little stroke until her head explodes. I think that was pretty cool. I think that's what actually happens when you have a stroke. I mean, Andy, that does nothing. People still get around that all the time. Yeah, but yeah, that's what people do. Yeah. Because it's what happens is it's the code that's written into it. So all they do is just write another code that's similar, but that's, you know, the same thing. So like, well, no, no, you're objectively, you're correct in your idea, in you're thinking you don't want people to use the exact same code because then it will be the legitimately the same thing. But like in stuff like this, you just don't even want the code to get out there, because then all someone would have to do make one change in one line of coding. You know what I mean, and get it to do something similar. And it's oh well, I'm not using the same code. Right. Yeah. You know. I absolutely yeah. Yeah. The coding in the mongoose scooters were weird and weird that they put computer codes into that. so Gemma shows Katie a robot she built in college. This is where we meet Bruce, and she sells her off. And Katie is so impressed with Bruce that Jen was like, well, I have to continue working on Megan. It's like, that's the lesson you learned. That's what you took from this. Gemma. Yeah. This also this Bruce thing. She made this in college. She's way advanced. Like she's way far beyond making toys. She could be solving world problems. With what? With her. That's true. Yeah. It works. Yeah. That's true. Gemma, test and Cole showed David a prototype of Megan, and Katie pairs with it using, I don't know, like, finger print or something like that. And they start playing. This robot draws a picture of Katie using invisible ink. Shut this down. We're done. Yeah. No. Yeah. I mean, he's David is understandably blown away by the prototype, but I'd also be like, Yeah, I know. Yeah. Yeah. Do they ever actually say what the retail price of this toy would be? Okay, this is not making them as much money as they think it's going to. I don't yeah, well, that's the problem. You buy in ten, but, like, okay, that makes you $100,000. Like. Yeah. It's very easy math. That. Yeah. This in the therapist. But this one's like $10,000. Like, how many people can I buy it? Because, listen, my parents weren't buying this for me. Although as a 12 year old boy, I would have been begging. Please give me a making daddy. You'd have to fall off the top of the Bass Pro Shops in Tennessee. It's like the pyramid. I know well. Oh, cool. No. Oh, cool. You made Terminator. We learn more about Megan, and Megan starts telling Katie things she should do, including flushing the toilet. Okay, I know I was a little cruel with the. Isn't she a little old to blah blah? She's a little too old to not be flushing the toilet. That's what you do in the bathroom. Andy. Yeah. Washing hands. I understands rhymes, but flushing the toilet, I do not, I just that doesn't make sense to me. Like at 8 or 9 years old. Like like I know, I understand it's Oregon, so it might be like a if it's yellow, leave it mellow situation. Flush your piss. But. Yeah, but I'm willing to bet this family how to leave it. Leave it mellow. Such because they were a bunch of fucking weirdos. Right. I have been very cruel to the state of Oregon during this episode, and, I've. I've never been. To be honest, I actually think they should bring a major league baseball team to Portland, Oregon. Mainly so the Mariners don't have to travel so far, but that's neither here nor there. Nobody cares about my baseball plans. Let's go. Yankees. But, I just I don't think we have any listeners in Oregon. So, if you're listening in Oregon and you're getting mad, write to Andy and tell him to fuck off. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he already married. Stupid joke. Gemma is starting to think of Meghan as a parent replacement, and Tessa's having second thoughts on that, and understandably so. So Gemma's like, neglecting Katie and Tessa's calling her out on that, because Megan's just raising this little girl. And then Megan wakes up while Gemma, Tess and Cole are talking, and immediately Megan's like, how did Katie's parents die? Dude, we got we're done here. You got to shut this. Yeah, shut this down. I think this scene is really good. It's super, super tense. Yeah, and this becomes like a running thing that they'll be, like, shut off. And she's like, no. Yes. Like. And then just the fact that she straight up like. Tells them what she's doing to look up how Katie's parents died because, you know, she really doesn't have to voice that out loud. But, like, to me, I read that as, like, I'm going to intimidate them. Yeah. Yes. I think her plan is to kill her. Plan is to kill everyone who she sees as a threat to Katie. But that's when, after Katie turns on her. That is true. Yeah. Megan watches Katie play in the front yard, and Katie's just shooting arrows into the neighbor's yard or something. Stop that. But then Megan goes and finds the arrow, and as she reaches through this hole in the fence, the neighbor's dog bites the doll. Now, granted, a neighbor's dog should not be biting, but. But if this is Gemma's fence, she needs to fix the hole in it. Yeah, and she just doesn't. Yeah. Well. But I'd imagine there'd be more holes then. Unless the dog's, like, just focus on that one spot over. Like, that part had to be deteriorated before the dog ran through it. I don't think that dogs. I might have. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. Oh. I mean, also the neighbor. A really bad person, too, because she leaves the dog out at night. Like you leave your dog out at night. You're asking for problems. Especially when there's a hole right there in the fence, like, yeah, Gemma should probably fix it, but you're leaving your dog out with a hole in the fence. The dog gone. No, I can't I can't do that. Yeah, they all suck up. You know what? I'm rooting for Megan. Yes. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. You can't know. That night, Megan replicates the neighbor's voice to lure the dog out. And I'm assuming kill him. We never actually see the dog's body or anything. I don't think. And then the next morning, the neighbor is out looking for her papa for her pupper. And Gemma is clearly looking suspicious, like it's like, yeah, obviously she's going to blame you because you did threaten the dog last night. Yeah. Yeah. Gemma again kind of guilts Katie this time to come to the presentation at her job. And during the presentation, Katie has a full on breakdown. And then Megan gives Gemma a knowing look before starting to ask Katie about her mom. That's incredible. Megan being like, watch this. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that's what guardians do. Yeah, Guardians and parents love doing that shit, though. Oh, shit. Why not? Come on. What a kids for. There for doing the chores you don't want to do. When someone comes to serve you, you go all the way to the door. Go answer the door. I'm telling you, daddy's name is Joe. You don't know a whole. so Megan then records the story that Katie tells her about her mom, and then the doll just starts singing a song. Yeah. It's weird. And people are, like, crying at it. It's. Yeah. It's weird. Are you ready for that unreleased stuff? The whole panel goes crazy. Well, you're a thief. The super high up really likes the presentation. And right after he makes a comment about leaks, we see David's assistant leaking it like no one had mentioned leaks in the movie yet. And then right after the first mention of a leak, this guy's leaking. It's like, all right, good writing, guys. Gemma apologizes to Katie as Katie eats the most disgusting looking hot dog I have ever seen. Did you guys get a look at this hot dog? This thing look like a Fisher-Price toy? Guys, guys, you got? Yes, it is. I do love glazes. I think I've mentioned on the podcast one of the most mortifying things my father in law has ever said to me was I was there were over one time and I was barbecuing and I made a bunch of hot dogs. No one else is eating them. So I just started downing them. And he goes, you can probably join the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating contest. And I was ready to die. I thought I would never eat a hot dog again. That wasn't true. That's pretty bad. Yeah, that's the problem. That's that. Okay. How many come in a regular pack of Hebrew National? Like eight. Or so. So it was more than a pack. It. Yeah. I was chewing and swallowing. Always swallow them, baby boy. Heard. I'm so sorry I was disgusting. There's a woman on. There's a woman on this call, and I made that terrible joke. I apologize. Yeah. That's good. That's good, that's good. I was I was talking to someone yesterday, and they asked to go, hey, if I comes here, can I bring my teenage daughter? I was like, you absolutely cannot. I was like, never in a million years could you do that. I did. Yeah, I did that. Usually I have this problem where I try to change my name for every episode, and then what I do is I forget until like 40 minutes into the episode, and I go, damn it, these people know my last name now, but I always promote my last name anyway. So yeah, yeah, but it's also like I go by that anyways, so why would I not want people to know? How would they find me considering on Instagram or Instagram? I'm Robert Corridor and Robert. Really easy to find idiot. Back with the therapist. Megan scares the shit out of a therapist. You made her cry. It's like, oh no, oh no. And we got the therapist warning Gemma that, you know, Katie's a little too attached to this Terminator. You've built their. That night, Megan corrects Gemma's parenting and Gemma just turns her volume down. But yes. And I also like, she's like, you are not supposed to interfere with private conversations. And Megan's like, all right. And starts flickering the lights on and off. Oh, no. Yeah. Hey, I ask nicely, I think this is where the first time we see that trick of. Hey, look at this pen. And she quickly hits the, the button on her, and we see her learning, because later on, won't you try that same trick? She's like, are you fucking serious? Fool me once. Yeah. Yeah. Gemma takes Katie to this new weird school. They're, like, outdoors and shit. And the teacher tells Gemma that you could stay and make sandwiches. Fuck that. I have to go to work. Yes. Well, not. Yeah. Well. I. I also think it's one of those things where it kind of undermines the whole plot point of Kurt leaking this thing when you have her actively just bringing this out in public, like. Yeah, what's the. Yeah. Like, what is the purpose of having Kurt being a leaker when she's out here doing this? It makes no sense. Yeah. This is also where we meet Brandon and his mom. And this kid is way too old for this school because he's, like, 13 and everyone else is, like, eight and nine. Yeah. Brandon hurts Katie with, like, a thing. I don't know, she has, like, a pointy spine. You guys know the thing I'm talking about? Yep. That's what it is. He finds a sea urchin in the middle of the forest. As Brandon is being a dick. This is so funny. His mom rambling about. They say behavioral issue is a sign of high IQ, which is like we've all heard, parents try to make that excuse for their shitty little kids. Okay, this kid's about to fuck this doll right? Because it 100% agree. But like, he has her, he got to get on top of her while she's on the ground. I'm like, oh, he's going to do it. And then she rips off his ear. Awesome. No, that was a great effect. And then this run Megan does is awesome. How she runs like an animal. Horrifying. Yeah. Then Brandon trips and falls into the road and gets absolutely plastered by an SUV. And Gemma has no idea what to say to comfort Katie at this point. Like, it's one of those things. Like she knows the dolls responsible. Like. Yes, but at the end of this movie, Megan should be in prison. I mean, not Megan. Gemma should be in prison. Yeah, which I'm happy about at the end of it. We didn't need to keep. Yeah. Well, yeah, she. She says a whole bunch of nonsense and then implies that Brandon is nowhere because, quote, if heaven existed, it wouldn't be for boys like Brandon. Incredible. And then she sings titanium. What? Oh, I get it. But, All right. Yep, yep. That's absolutely. Yeah. Which I love because that's a swing to do that. Yeah. I was surprised they never showed the dead dog. Like, we just kind of assume he's dead. Yeah. Well, the neighbor is still looking for her doggy, and Megan lures her into the shed. Megan shoots the neighbor in the hand with the nail gun and then kills her with insecticide. Yes. No. Pick. No, no. Because. And at the beginning, before, when we first meet the neighbor, she's not getting yelled at for powerwash. It's because the insecticide is getting into their lawn. So Megan just sits there and sprays the neighbor with insecticide until she dies. Well, yeah, that's the thing. Like, if you're Gemma, how do you go? The doll did it. Because then if you're Megan, you're just going to go. Yeah. Well, this is right here because the police are suspicious and Gemma tries to check Megan's on board camera, and all these files have been deleted or corrupted. And then Megan hacks Gemma's eye assistant. And when Gemma's questioning Megan, she's not very forthcoming. Oh, this is actually where we get the first part. We're not. Hey, look at the pen. Because she falls for the old. Hey, look over there. And instead of destroying this thing, she's like, we got to take her for more tests, throw her in lava. Yeah. What are you. Do she. She's going down. The way I read that was that Megan had hacked it. And because Megan doesn't understand how other AI works, she opened up with. Hi, how are you? Because. And that tipped off Gemma to be like, oh, my shit was hacked because she said, just. You're not programed to do that. And so Megan, because she's like a sentient AI, she was like, this is how we all work. You know, because, you know, she's still learning. Yeah, yeah, that's how I read it. At least. Yes. Because. We see another quick scene of Katie having a breakdown with the therapist. And then Gemma watches the interview with Katie as Katie talks about how great Megan is. And during Katie's freak out, she grabs scissors and then slaps Gemma across the face. Oh, you're lucky she didn't stab you. Gemma, Gemma Gemma. Yeah, I goofed. Honestly, I would have been here for it. Yeah. I honestly thought they were going to, like, Katie was going to get mangled. And at the end of the movie, she was going to be a cyborg. And she was going to be the next Megan. That's what I thought was going to happen. Yeah. I'm great. Gemma talks to Katie about how she's supposed to have these feelings and that Megan's just a distraction, and Gemma and tests have a conversation, but it's actually Megan hacking Tessa's phone and stealing her voice call, unhooking all the wires from Megan after she locks him and tests out of the system. And I like how tense he is because he's, like, really nervous pulling all these wires out. Why wouldn't you handcuff her hands or something? Yeah, that doesn't make any, Yeah he does. He's like. He's like, oh, God. Oh, my dreams. Yeah, he's into it. Yeah, he's he's a weird dude. She blows something or Megan blow something up as she leaves Cole and Tess, and then Megan dances for David. This is right. So kids were doing this dance. Okay. Because, it's funny, I didn't remember the dancing, obviously. Like, what the fuck is this? Yes. I mean, objectively, the girl playing Megan is crushing it. So after Megan dance for David, she chases him with a sword and kills him and then makes it look like Kurt killed David. And then himself. Awesome. Yeah. Megan steals a car, and then at Gemma's house. Her house? I won't listen to her. And then Megan's just sitting there playing piano, so she's learning fast. Megan explains that she was hurt by Gemma because she thought that they were friends. I kind of like this twist on it. Or Megan's, like, while you were building me. We talked all the time. We were boys, and you turned on me and. Yeah, and she's hurt, so she wants to. And she feels discarded. So I kind of like that twist of why she's coming after her now. Katie, here's Gemma and Megan fighting. She comes out and they convince her to go back to bed. As Megan chases Gemma through the house, Gemma uses a hedge trimmer on Megan's face to little avail, and then Megan walks in. Right. Katie walks in right as Megan is about to or paralyze Gemma, she uses Bruce to fuck him up, ripping Megan in half. This looks really cool because this half of Megan crawls over to Katie, knocks Bruce onto Gemma. Unfortunately, this means absolutely nothing because Gemma gets right back up. Like that was a shame, because what's the point of having Bruce fall on her if it leads to nothing? I guess, but what I thought when he fell on Gemma, like, oh, Gemma's out of commission. Katie's got to fight for herself. But then, like, Gemma, is able to walk it off. Yeah. Oh, yeah. It's just Terminator. Yeah. Right before Megan kills Gemma, Katie stabs Megan's operating system, destroying her. And as Gemma and Katie leave the house, Gemma's AI assistant suddenly wakes up and looks at them. Credits. Hiya. You guys want to go to Letterboxd? I quite enjoyed this. Yeah, I really enjoyed this, actually. Yeah, but I also don't go into horror movies like this looking for logic. I was out of five. I was thinking it's a little bit odd. I thought it was like a three. Yeah. Lauren, do you have a letterbox account? Nobody does. But you can follow us on Letterboxd at the Royds Band. And you're cool with three stars. We just gave Megan three stars on Letterboxd. We did it. But, Andy, I have a problem. I kind of slacked on trivia this week. I only got two. Why don't you hit us up? Lauren, you have any trivia questions you want to ask about the movie? If not, that's. Yeah. No. Cool. You can always buzz in with your name to answer them. Rob toy soldiers. Very good. Thank you. No. We're the big thinkers. How many skin pigmentation can Megan come with? Five. Six. Seven. Eight. Andy, no, is not eight. Is it five, 6 or 7? No, unfortunately it is not five. It is not seven. Megan. Yes. Very good. Megan comes with six skin pigmentation. Rob. Oh, God. Accentuate the positive. Yeah. What is the neighbor's dog's name? Stewie. Louis. Dewey. Huey. Andy, it is Dewey. Yes. Oh, no. Hit us with it. I wrote a song. Lauren, you're going have a job to do now you're going to tell us who's going first. All right. Works for me. My song, about the movie Megan is called. Oh, Megan. It's in six eight piano driven. I don't wanna call it doo wop. I guess the bridge is kind of doo wop. I'm just going to play it. It's called. Oh, Megan. And it's really, I guess, from the perspective of Katy, but it goes exactly like this. So that was my song called. Oh, Megan. Thank you. Yeah. That's what I felt like doing for a bridge, because, like, it feels kind of dumpy. Yeah, and I did some jewels. I did some, us, But it didn't. It didn't work. Yeah. But, yeah, it just from the perspective of Megan and how this little girl only has one friend, and it's, Robert. No. Andy, tell us about your song. Please. Yes. Oh, dang. I like it. I dig it. I like that a lot. That was cool. The guitar sounded cool. That you have been wearing a helmet this whole time? Yeah. Okay. Thank you. Yeah. You could have done that. Hopefully. Lauren, thank you so much for joining us. This is a lot of fun. No. Our pleasure. Oh, you are welcome back. Any time you ever feel like covered in another movie. But Andy, that's the question you were going to ask me or you did ask me. I don't really remember it, to be honest. I'm actually really excited. No, there's no way of knowing. But I'm really excited for next week. We're doing Superman, the original. Yep. Oh, no. We're doing the one with George Reeves father. The old show, the black and White show. Yeah, yeah, it's dead. Yes. Okay, I'm looking it up now. We're looking it up. All right, we're on our way now. We're on Christopher Reeve. His Wikipedia page let's go to is is, daddy. Oh, mate, I think you were right. His. Let's go, let's go. Who the hell is George Reeve, then? His father. I genuinely thought they were related. They just both happen to have the last name Reeve. I thought that's important. It's not Reeve's, it's Reeve. It is not plural. I'm looking at the Wikipedia. Okay. All right, that's fine. Now, I wasn't going to correct you until you said it again. The fuck is George? Oh, it's George Reeves and Christopher Reeve, though. Isn't it great that we're both fucking stupid? I do too. Oh, George Reeves real name was George Brewer. That's a lot cooler. Sounds like he's making beer. Wearing the name. I will do that. You go to Instagram. You go to TikTok. You go to YouTube, you go to Reddit. You type in TheRoydsBand. There we are. There we be.

I, I started I started looking at the screen, which I guess is good because you're on the screen, but I meant I'm on a different tab on the screen. Yeah. Let's root. Yeah. It's root. When you do it, it's cool. When I do it. I mean, I'd feel really hurt if someone did that. I would, I would be like, oh, thanks, mom. Dude, I'm glad you took that swing, cuz I don't know. But it is the seven. No, I stopped it, so I didn't sound like I was saying Reeves. Did not. His middle name was dull. Yeah, d apostrophe. Oh, l your dot. Dot. Yeah. Wait, was Superman French? Oh, no. I thought he was the All-American boy from Kentucky. All right, Superman, next week. Lauren, thank you again for joining us. This is so much fun. Bye, everybody.
