The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

I mean, that's the purpose of the movie is that he does outmatch them.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

Yeah, exactly.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

Yeah.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

So if you had competent burglars, that would be a horror movie.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

You're right.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

But if you had the black phone guy come into his door, that would be a horror movie.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

But it's not because they're incompetent.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

The villains aren't strong enough.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

These are all things that increase your perceived formidability, right?

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

So Kevin is smart.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

He's got a lot of resources.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

He's not very big and strong, but neither are the burglars and they're really dumb and they don't have a lot of resources.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

They don't work well together.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
