I'm a busy guy.

Let's just get a woman's POV.

Do you feel like laughter is a coping mechanism for sometimes not being comfortable with pure horror?

When you are confronted with something that's like...

I don't know, Texas chainsaw massacre or something like that.

But like, do you find it easier if you have like a couple of release valves throughout the movie?

We should make a mashup of Zach telling Amanda that it's almost Eagle season.

No, no, no.

Yeah, I think that's a really good way of looking at the two directors.

I think that...

Parsons seems to be the culmination of a shared aesthetic across multiple platforms across, but we're going to talk a lot about his influences.

And Barker seems to be a little bit more like, I found not the loophole or cheat code, but I am a product of this new way of distributing your work that allowed me to get like a foothold in traditional Hollywood.

Well, and while we're coming out of a period of time where I think the cost of making a movie has become almost crippling to the movie industry, these guys are kind of going back to the OG, you can make something fast and cheap that looks good, and a lot of people want to go see it.

That's not a barrier of entry.

What do you think about the fact that horror seems to be the primary genre on ramp for them, though?

I'm not concerned trolling.

I didn't see the Micah Monroe one, but I saw the other two.

It's a film that, if you're conversant in the actual project, has been spoiled already on YouTube.

Like five years ago, six years ago?

Chris, what did you think of this movie?
