00:00:02,837 --> 00:00:06,077
Approximately six weeks ago, one of our concerned citizens came across human

2
00:00:06,077 --> 00:00:07,417
remains while walking a dog.

3
00:00:08,017 --> 00:00:11,137
We discovered the remains of 11 women and one unborn child.

4
00:00:12,617 --> 00:00:16,137
We never faced anything like this. They're sending in an expert.

5
00:00:16,437 --> 00:00:19,197
Chief Carter, I presume. Hope you had a good flight, Agent Patrick.

6
00:00:20,277 --> 00:00:23,997
I read your file. You were looking for the boogeyman. Instead focused on the

7
00:00:23,997 --> 00:00:25,577
regular guy just hiding in plain sight.

8
00:00:26,777 --> 00:00:32,997
We put serial killers into four categories first you got your visionary they hear voices you know,

9
00:00:34,117 --> 00:00:41,397
next we got hedonistic these are lust killers after that the power control oriented

10
00:00:41,397 --> 00:00:47,017
but i don't think our guy has any of those he's a mission oriented killer,

11
00:00:49,097 --> 00:00:51,077
he thinks he's making the world a better place.

12
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:59,280
Music.

13
00:00:57,117 --> 00:00:59,077
Hey hon, you looking for a good time?

14
00:01:03,377 --> 00:01:06,577
What do you say? You want to do this thing? Oh you know I do.

15
00:01:08,497 --> 00:01:13,837
You telling me the serial killer can be an undercover cop? So it could be anyone.

16
00:01:17,097 --> 00:01:21,657
When I looked into his eyes, his eyes were dead. He's playing God.

17
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:28,560
Music.

18
00:01:27,917 --> 00:01:34,217
No one can get through life without pain. My pain is deep, but it gives me purpose.

19
00:01:34,877 --> 00:01:36,537
We have a predator amongst us.

20
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:51,760
Music.

21
00:01:51,604 --> 00:01:54,524

absolutely incredible yes it was

32
00:02:27,504 --> 00:02:31,404
based on it's based on a true story it's it's something that i think needs to

33
00:02:31,404 --> 00:02:35,364
be told and the fact that the murders have never been solved still to this day

34
00:02:35,364 --> 00:02:40,784
are something that will leave shivers down your spine would you agree with that

35
00:02:40,784 --> 00:02:44,784
i'm I'm shivering. I'm shivering right now.

36
00:02:44,944 --> 00:02:48,604
And it's already almost 90 degrees here in Sacramento.

37
00:02:50,104 --> 00:02:56,504
Yes. Bone chilling. Bone chilling in the boneyard. That's right. A bony man.

38
00:02:58,564 --> 00:03:03,184
But yes, Lionsgate, probably one of our most consistent partners,

39
00:03:03,384 --> 00:03:05,664
reached out to us to have us cover this film.

40
00:03:05,944 --> 00:03:09,144
I wanted to go ahead and talk about it really fast, because we didn't talk about

41
00:03:09,144 --> 00:03:13,664
it in the interview. but this movie stars Mel Gibson icon right you would agree,

42
00:03:14,388 --> 00:03:17,268
he he's an icon of sorts yeah i don't

00:03:17,268 --> 00:03:19,928
know if he's canceled but or is he canceled i don't know do you

44
00:03:19,928 --> 00:03:22,708
think mike i thought he was it seems like he found his

45
00:03:22,708 --> 00:03:25,548
way back in doing movies like bruce

46
00:03:25,548 --> 00:03:28,568

and of course he cannot mention this movie without this guy he's He's the lead

50
00:03:41,608 --> 00:03:45,588
in the movie 50 cents or Curtis Jackson. He plays chief Carter.

51
00:03:45,708 --> 00:03:52,088
And this movie is directed and written by a C-Fact bar, Hank bird and Vincent E. McDaniel.

52
00:03:52,208 --> 00:03:56,008
And in this episode, Mike, we actually sit down with the director,

53
00:03:56,128 --> 00:04:00,708
a C-Fact bar and the writer and star Vincent E. McDaniel.

54
00:04:00,888 --> 00:04:04,008
So this episode is full of some hunky men. Let me tell you.

55
00:04:04,748 --> 00:04:10,588
Yeah. Yes. Lots of hunky men, not the bony men, the hunky men.

56
00:04:11,368 --> 00:04:15,088
I think exactly. No, no, no, no bony man in this boneyard.

57
00:04:15,688 --> 00:04:21,928
Yes. So this movie will be released very, very soon. This movie comes out in July and.

58
00:04:24,668 --> 00:04:30,348
And to add to the excitement of this film, we had a very special guest host

59
00:04:30,348 --> 00:04:32,148
and that was Rick of Sigma duo.

60
00:04:32,208 --> 00:04:35,348
Cassie filled in for you because you were out there handling your business.

61
00:04:35,848 --> 00:04:40,548

69
00:05:05,148 --> 00:05:08,268
beginning of this we actually have the the audio of the trailer playing it is

70
00:05:08,268 --> 00:05:11,988
really based on a true story I really can't tell you enough it actually is quite

71
00:05:11,988 --> 00:05:15,608
a unique film and 50 Cent Mike just so you know is just and I know you know

72
00:05:15,608 --> 00:05:18,648
this because you've seen it he's absolutely impeccable with this movie,

73
00:05:19,403 --> 00:05:23,643
Yeah, it's always good to see 50, like, expand his acting chops,

74
00:05:23,823 --> 00:05:26,263
you know, and he seems like he's getting better and better at it.

75
00:05:26,343 --> 00:05:29,203
And, you know, I've been a fan of 50 for a long time.

76
00:05:29,283 --> 00:05:32,803
So it's cool to see him in there in the mix with some, you know,

77
00:05:32,803 --> 00:05:35,903
with some of the some of the big hitters. That's right.

78
00:05:36,423 --> 00:05:39,423
Mel Gibson, man, you can't, you can't beat that guy, right? I mean,

79
00:05:39,423 --> 00:05:42,683
that's Braveheart, right? That is, that was Braveheart. He was Braveheart.

80
00:05:43,083 --> 00:05:44,983
Is that Braveheart, right? I was like, was that Bruce Willis?

81
00:05:46,823 --> 00:05:53,083
Imagine if bruce willis wasn't braveheart though i imagine every movie but with

82
00:05:53,083 --> 00:05:56,603
bruce willis in it just so you know including boneyard.

83
00:05:58,963 --> 00:06:05,463
Bruce willis presents boneyard okay everybody without further ado here is our

Hey, this is David Brown from Rising Appalachia and Castanea.

87
00:06:20,803 --> 00:06:24,163
Just wanted to say you are listening to Uncle Dad Talks.

88
00:06:25,083 --> 00:06:28,883
All right. Gentlemen, how are you guys doing on this lovely,

00:06:29,063 --> 00:06:30,903

Great. Very well. Thanks for having us. Thanks for being here.

91
00:06:35,123 --> 00:06:37,723
Because in all honesty, being in your guys' presence, I can already feel the

92
00:06:37,723 --> 00:06:41,143
magic. I can feel the energy flowing, and I love it. I'm so excited.

93

Normally, I have a co-host named Mike, but today we'll have the lovely Rick

95
00:06:49,583 --> 00:06:53,823
as well. Rick, go ahead and kick off the show with your studious questions.

96
00:06:54,803 --> 00:06:58,863
Hi, Rick. Awesome. How's it going? Well, pleasure to be seeing you guys and

97
00:06:58,863 --> 00:07:01,223
talking to you guys. Just seeing the film, fantastic.

98
00:07:01,743 --> 00:07:06,323
Absolutely loved it. I wanted to kick off because I found this story to be very interesting.

99
00:07:06,323 --> 00:07:10,783
And being that it's based or actually inspired by true events being the west

100
00:07:10,783 --> 00:07:15,423
mess of murders and tailoring it to be your own story i was really curious on

101
00:07:15,423 --> 00:07:20,663
what was the process of putting a story like this together and then on a second

102
00:07:20,663 --> 00:07:24,383
half of was there any pressure to keep certain things close to the actual events.

103
00:07:25,588 --> 00:07:30,628
It was definitely a journey, you know, and originally the script was developed.

104
00:07:30,768 --> 00:07:36,028
The first draft was written by Vince and our co-writer, Hank Bird, a while back.

105
00:07:36,148 --> 00:07:40,448
And I was brought onto it about eight years ago when I met Vince through some

106
00:07:40,448 --> 00:07:41,808
mutual friends in New Mexico.

107
00:07:41,948 --> 00:07:46,008
And, you know, we collaborated on a lot of films over the years.

108
00:07:46,028 --> 00:07:50,068
And this was one of the top on the list of films we wanted to make together.

109
00:07:50,068 --> 00:07:55,788
And when he first told me the story, that's when I came to learn about the West Mesa murders case.

110
00:07:56,048 --> 00:08:01,008
And I was horrified and blown away about how crazy it was and that it's real.

111
00:08:01,208 --> 00:08:07,768
And then we actually developed the script more to be inspired from other crime

112
00:08:07,768 --> 00:08:14,748
stories as well, along with the West Mesa murders case was the central case in the story.

113
00:08:14,748 --> 00:08:19,148
But we've taken pieces from different cases to mold us together.

114
00:08:19,488 --> 00:08:23,908
And obviously, we had to take some creative liberties to make our own story.

115
00:08:24,008 --> 00:08:27,708
But the goal was to bring awareness and shed light to these cases.

116
00:08:27,788 --> 00:08:32,248
So, you know, hopefully someone could be saved or a case could be,

117
00:08:32,248 --> 00:08:36,828
you know, closed because there's so many open cases, like cold cases like this,

118
00:08:36,868 --> 00:08:40,148
as you see from the stats that are just unbelievable that,

119
00:08:40,248 --> 00:08:43,188
you know, they're not investigated more.

120
00:08:43,828 --> 00:08:47,048
You know, I'm curious for Vince, you know, since you wrote on this as well,

121
00:08:47,068 --> 00:08:49,848
and you star in the film, one of the things I've learned talking to so many

122
00:08:49,848 --> 00:08:54,168
actors is sometimes it's hard to convey the scene if it doesn't feel truthful.

123
00:08:54,568 --> 00:08:59,628
When you write, do you feel yourself writing to be truthful or do you want it

124
00:08:59,628 --> 00:09:04,048
to be how easy it is for you to convey that scene in the actual production?

125
00:09:04,788 --> 00:09:11,868
I'm a truth teller I try to stick to telling the truth and then rely on the

126
00:09:11,868 --> 00:09:15,448
acting ability to translate it in real time so.

127
00:09:16,668 --> 00:09:23,108
Our whole goal was to tell the truth the whole time I love that I find that when movies write,

128
00:09:23,708 --> 00:09:27,888
truthfully you can get the better product out of it without trying to make it

129
00:09:27,888 --> 00:09:32,848
so like a fantasy or whatever not that fantasy is wrong Even in a fantasy,

130
00:09:32,928 --> 00:09:34,528
there's rules that you need to have in writing, right?

131
00:09:34,608 --> 00:09:37,488
So I'm curious, when both of you guys were working on this script,

132
00:09:37,708 --> 00:09:39,268
did you guys find yourself ever

133
00:09:39,268 --> 00:09:43,508
getting the most peculiar case of writer's block when writing the story?

134
00:09:44,528 --> 00:09:51,988
Somewhat. I mean, you know, we had to stick with the realism with this story at the style we took.

135
00:09:52,128 --> 00:09:56,868
And, you know, with so many different characters and things happening in this

136
00:09:56,868 --> 00:10:01,788
and side stories and whatnot and subplots, we didn't have too much time.

137
00:10:02,148 --> 00:10:05,648
To obviously, you know, tell it all in 96 minutes.

138
00:10:05,768 --> 00:10:13,608
But, you know, we had to restructure it. It was a little bit non-traditional, you know, the way we...

139
00:10:14,605 --> 00:10:17,785
Normally tell serial killer thrillers you

140
00:10:17,785 --> 00:10:20,985
know it's more pure entertainment this one you know we obviously

141
00:10:20,985 --> 00:10:24,585
had to keep it entertaining you know from a cinematic perspective but

142
00:10:24,585 --> 00:10:28,905
with the cinematic style we also kind of implemented a little bit of a documentary

143
00:10:28,905 --> 00:10:33,805
style where you know there's narration with mel gibson that's teaching you about

144
00:10:33,805 --> 00:10:39,125
these cases and the serial killer stats and that are just so mind blowing to

145
00:10:39,125 --> 00:10:43,925
hear that we wanted to focus on the education,

146
00:10:43,925 --> 00:10:47,345
you know, that the audience would receive from this more.

147
00:10:47,745 --> 00:10:50,805
I love that. Rick, I know you brought us to think about Mel Gibson.

148
00:10:50,885 --> 00:10:52,845
And I'm curious, you want to bring that up?

149
00:10:53,765 --> 00:10:58,225
Oh, yeah. So it was a pleasure seeing Mel Gibson. He's one of my favorite all time actors.

150
00:10:58,305 --> 00:11:01,305
Lethal Weapon. He's fantastic. fantastic and being seeing that

151
00:11:01,305 --> 00:11:04,445
he's also a director what was like

152
00:11:04,445 --> 00:11:07,305
how did the i'm gonna say is how was it

153
00:11:07,305 --> 00:11:10,165
working with him like the was there collaboration in terms

154
00:11:10,165 --> 00:11:13,265
of like also direction every now and then like to putting his input

155
00:11:13,265 --> 00:11:19,445
and he was i mean he was very respectful and obviously you know i'd be stupid

156
00:11:19,445 --> 00:11:23,465
not to collaborate with them with his ideas as well but i mean he was also very

157
00:11:23,465 --> 00:11:27,145
respectful i mean you know and to see him work like that was very inspiring

158
00:11:27,145 --> 00:11:30,845
to know, you know, where he comes from and what he's done.

159
00:11:31,065 --> 00:11:34,985
And he's definitely in my eyes, one of the best directors and actors of our

160
00:11:34,985 --> 00:11:37,145
time, and probably in the history of film.

161
00:11:37,265 --> 00:11:40,945
But, you know, when he was working with us, it was just like him,

162
00:11:41,065 --> 00:11:45,045
you know, working on any other film, he took it very seriously,

163
00:11:45,205 --> 00:11:50,185
he contributed his ideas where he felt like, you know, he needed to share them.

164
00:11:50,265 --> 00:11:54,305
And we collaborated on debates, like it wasn't ever like, you know,

165
00:11:54,305 --> 00:11:56,825
oh, I want on it this way, so this is what we're going to do,

166
00:11:56,885 --> 00:11:58,505
or this is what I think we need to do.

167
00:11:58,565 --> 00:12:01,825
It's more like, what do you think about this? Or would this work?

168
00:12:01,885 --> 00:12:04,605
Or would that work? Or how about we try this?

169
00:12:04,925 --> 00:12:10,025
And it was a very nice collaborative teamwork between all of us.

170
00:12:10,025 --> 00:12:13,185
And there were times when, yeah, Mel would sit down with a piece of paper and

171
00:12:13,185 --> 00:12:17,525
pen and write out additional lines or change it up to his own.

172
00:12:17,665 --> 00:12:21,925
And the way I work with actors is I like to give them the freedom to collaborate

173
00:12:21,925 --> 00:12:25,885
And be artists and not just robots, you know, and a lot of directors will tell

174
00:12:25,885 --> 00:12:30,865
actors to say something a certain way, or they have to stick to the script, they have to do this.

175
00:12:30,905 --> 00:12:34,605
For me, it's what works, you know, for the film.

176
00:12:34,945 --> 00:12:40,585
And in this case, I mean, Mel was very supportive, and he barely ever even went to his trailer.

177
00:12:40,705 --> 00:12:45,545
He was right there on set with us by my side and doing his part as an actor.

178
00:12:45,545 --> 00:12:51,545
And then also, you know, being a great partner and collaborator and just making

179
00:12:51,545 --> 00:12:54,505
the best film we could possibly with what we had to work with.

180
00:12:55,224 --> 00:12:57,944
Well, Vince, I'm curious, you know, you being an actor as well,

181
00:12:58,044 --> 00:13:01,964
was there ever like an intimidation factor being next to Mel Gibson at all?

182
00:13:04,024 --> 00:13:09,704
No, I was ready. I was ready to, to, uh, mortalize myself with him on the scene,

183
00:13:09,804 --> 00:13:13,044
but the scene we had to cut the scene,

184
00:13:13,184 --> 00:13:18,124
but you know, the time I spent with Mel, I talked to him, you know,

185
00:13:18,124 --> 00:13:19,664
he's very professional and everything,

186
00:13:19,824 --> 00:13:24,184
but I'm, yeah, I was ready. I was ready. I was ready for that.

187
00:13:25,324 --> 00:13:28,244
I love that. And I think, you know, this movie has so much talent in it as well,

188
00:13:28,304 --> 00:13:33,444
you know, and, you know, a lot of people to me don't give 50 Cent or Curtis Jackson enough credit.

189
00:13:33,884 --> 00:13:38,164
He is truly one of the best actors, I think, out there in film.

190
00:13:38,684 --> 00:13:43,684
He's all in every time I see him. So I'm curious, did he have any collaboration on this as well?

191
00:13:43,864 --> 00:13:48,084
And did you guys like, was it a challenge to direct him at all?

192
00:13:48,144 --> 00:13:51,104
Or did he kind of go his own way? way no well

193
00:13:51,104 --> 00:13:54,464
the thing is 50 was very respectful and and he

194
00:13:54,464 --> 00:13:57,744
wanted that guidance and you know you know you

195
00:13:57,744 --> 00:14:00,784
know there was collaboration there obviously but

196
00:14:00,784 --> 00:14:03,964
it was different for all of us and him to play this

197
00:14:03,964 --> 00:14:06,724
kind of a character you know it's a whole new 50 cent that

198
00:14:06,724 --> 00:14:10,024
you're going to experience and you know it

199
00:14:10,024 --> 00:14:13,924
took him a couple days i think to even you know

200
00:14:13,924 --> 00:14:16,584
realize you know that he's playing the

201
00:14:16,584 --> 00:14:19,524
chief of police and like he was also blown like even i

202
00:14:19,524 --> 00:14:22,424
remember when we were in the makeup trailer and you know

203
00:14:22,424 --> 00:14:25,564
he's getting his makeup done then he goes in wardrobe puts on the the

204
00:14:25,564 --> 00:14:28,544
uniform and you know in the film he's mainly in

205
00:14:28,544 --> 00:14:31,404
the uniform almost the whole time and and it

206
00:14:31,404 --> 00:14:34,144
gives him that you know authority and and

207
00:14:34,144 --> 00:14:37,064
it's a whole different vision with 50 cent where

208
00:14:37,064 --> 00:14:39,844
i think he was also kind of taken

209
00:14:39,844 --> 00:14:42,744
back by how he was able to handle that

210
00:14:42,744 --> 00:14:45,884
character to the point i can give you one little short story is he

211
00:14:45,884 --> 00:14:48,704
got so much into the character in our day four or

212
00:14:48,704 --> 00:14:51,704
five into it when we were shooting the press conference scene

213
00:14:51,704 --> 00:14:55,044
you know normally you'd see the real life police chiefs

214
00:14:55,044 --> 00:14:58,044
you know reading off notes or they're at a podium and they

215
00:14:58,044 --> 00:15:03,084
can look down and read but 50 memorized that entire speech at the press conference

216
00:15:03,084 --> 00:15:08,484
delivered it every take and he was very committed to making it organic and he

217
00:15:08,484 --> 00:15:13,064
did and so he was very committed to making it right because Because he knew

218
00:15:13,064 --> 00:15:15,444
that it was also a huge thing.

219
00:15:15,584 --> 00:15:18,404
The audience seeing him as this authority figure.

220
00:15:18,584 --> 00:15:22,344
The chief of police. And he wanted to play that right.

221
00:15:23,230 --> 00:15:26,650
Vince, I had a curious question for you. So being that you co-wrote and they're

222
00:15:26,650 --> 00:15:30,910
also in the movie, is there any time where when you're writing a movie and you

223
00:15:30,910 --> 00:15:34,730
know you're going to be in it that you kind of want to put some cool scenes for yourself?

224
00:15:34,890 --> 00:15:37,630
Because I'm telling you, sometimes you were intense in some of those scenes

225
00:15:37,630 --> 00:15:40,890
when you're coming through them doors and raiding someone. I was like, okay.

226
00:15:41,390 --> 00:15:43,670
So is there any like, you know, yeah, I'm going to, you know,

227
00:15:43,670 --> 00:15:46,150
make myself look pretty, pretty awesome in this, in this scene.

228
00:15:46,150 --> 00:15:49,050
You know on this one

229
00:15:49,050 --> 00:15:51,890
no i didn't but you just gave

230
00:15:51,890 --> 00:15:55,450
me some ideas for my future stuff you know you

231
00:15:55,450 --> 00:15:59,630
know i just tried to make it happen but it was fun that's all i could say but

232
00:15:59,630 --> 00:16:04,890
yeah i this time i wrote certain things for me but as we were going through

233
00:16:04,890 --> 00:16:09,870
the script everybody else had their pin on it too so you know i just tried to

234
00:16:09,870 --> 00:16:14,170
translate the best i could i love that we do you got to wrap up soon here.

235
00:16:14,250 --> 00:16:19,070
So I want to ask both of you, what is the one thing you want the audience to

236
00:16:19,070 --> 00:16:20,610
take from the film after they watch it?

237
00:16:21,670 --> 00:16:28,270
Same thing. Oh, okay. I mean, you have to be aware of this global issue with,

238
00:16:28,370 --> 00:16:30,610
you know, serial killers, murders,

239
00:16:31,650 --> 00:16:35,770
kidnappers, traffickers, you know, and both of us being girl dads,

240
00:16:35,910 --> 00:16:40,110
we want to be able to protect our, not only our children, but you know,

241
00:16:40,130 --> 00:16:45,070
we want others to be able to protect their children and also victims that need

242
00:16:45,070 --> 00:16:48,330
closure could maybe seek, you know, more answers.

243
00:16:48,830 --> 00:16:52,610
You know, if someone's being abused or in a situation they need help,

244
00:16:52,690 --> 00:16:53,730
they can cry out for help.

245
00:16:53,830 --> 00:16:57,590
There's definitely organizations out there that will, and we're working with a few.

246
00:16:57,830 --> 00:17:00,650
And Vince, you want to mention? Yeah, we're working with YDI,

247
00:17:00,970 --> 00:17:03,950
Youth Development Corporation in Albuquerque.

248
00:17:03,950 --> 00:17:12,870
It's a place for youth to go for education, for housing, and also they help families.

249
00:17:13,050 --> 00:17:17,190
Amistad is a place for runaways. They take you in immediately.

250
00:17:17,410 --> 00:17:20,170
It's no waiting for the program, stuff like that.

251
00:17:20,270 --> 00:17:25,850
So these are very important programs that we need to raise awareness for because

252
00:17:25,850 --> 00:17:27,810
a lot of people aren't aware of these programs.

253
00:17:27,810 --> 00:17:31,730
Programs a lot of people think that you're just just stuck on the street until

254
00:17:31,730 --> 00:17:36,110
they have divine intervention no we have programs that help you off of these

255
00:17:36,110 --> 00:17:43,470
things yeah there's no shame in asking for help no no i that i that sentiment

256
00:17:43,470 --> 00:17:44,910
means a lot to me because i feel like.

257
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:49,960
We all struggle, whether in some sort of way, and especially even as men,

258
00:17:50,120 --> 00:17:52,100
right? Men have a hard time reaching out specifically.

259
00:17:52,580 --> 00:17:55,360
And I think knowing that there's these programs out there for young men out

260
00:17:55,360 --> 00:18:01,900
there and young women as well, that just to get out there and get the help that we need to fix our lives.

261
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:05,620
Maybe not fix our lives, but just do what we can to progress in life, right?

262
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:10,120
So thank you guys for doing that. I'll also tag those organizations in this as well.

263
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:15,780
So if they have tips on any crimes or even related to this case,

264
00:18:15,940 --> 00:18:20,060
they can always report it to the FBI or the Albuquerque Police Department or

265
00:18:20,060 --> 00:18:24,220
their local police departments and, you know, help with the case,

266
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,460
solving the case. You know, fight to get by.

267
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:28,980
Absolutely. Rick, do you have any last questions before we go?

268
00:18:29,580 --> 00:18:33,960
I just want to say I appreciated the film. I appreciated the story you guys

269
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,300
told and everything that it's intended for.

270
00:18:36,300 --> 00:18:40,120
Like i said i honestly back in

271
00:18:40,120 --> 00:18:43,080
2009 didn't even know this was going on until i was made

272
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,760
aware of this film and then i started researching and everything and i'm like

273
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:49,060
wow like this was pretty intense like what's happening here so i definitely

274
00:18:49,060 --> 00:18:52,660
