It also never would have been on the soundtrack of a movie like that.

Then it's saying something about distance and time that doesn't even just have to do with horror movies, but I think just has to do with age.

Um, it's con it's c contrapuntal use of music, you know, it doesn't go with the killing, which is a sort of, you know, all the way back to singing in the rain and clockwork orange or stuck in the middle with you in in in in reservoir dogs.

I mean, it deliberately takes us out of the film within the film and almost kind of takes us out of the film around the film, or the film around the film is is is is mutating.

I think it's

Daring us to sort of read it as cheap or chintzy or show-offy.

Again, I find the way that the camera, I've I've only watched the movie once, but the camera eventually whirls around and you see the killer's face underneath the mask, and you are suddenly brought back to what this filmmaker in the film, Chris, is anxious about, which is, you know, repurposing and in the process, you know, pinkwashing this highly problematic.

uh, you know, transphobic slasher franchise that they grew up with and get off on, you know, and Schoenbrunn's own anxieties in making this movie.

I think anxiety's funny.

I'm sure you would agree, you know, uh you're you're a fan of Albert Brooks, you know, you like, you know, Ari Astor, you know, Elaine May.

I mean, anxiety is what's funny.

So the the the the the anxiety and the humor of this movie are are are bound up

together in a way that I think is very familiar but also very precise.

I do not love the showbiz satire in it.

That feels like something you could get on a TV show or or or in other movies, you know, with the agent and and and and and that stuff.

I mean, I think it's fine.

What I love is when they get to the camp where

Jillian Anderson's character, was it Billy I don't not Billy Presley.

Billy Preston.

I was gonna say Billy Preston, that would be a very different movie.
