Admittedly it is funny but I think in context of the movie it's supposed to represent how women are taught that they are overreacting And too emotional. He basically gaslights her into staying by convincing her she's being irrational. True in this case in the movie it's taking it to an exaggerated level. If I'm seeing ghosts and stuff I'm out of there but as a metaphor for how women are willing to dismiss things for the sake of politeness and propriety in real life it's pretty apt

Trippy! I like that it's not just another final girl movie, but a true representation of the wrath his victims feel mixed with ancient legends and his own loss of power and sanity!

My understanding was that Orestes was bound by duty to avenge the murder of his father at the hands of his mother, but was likewise bound by duty to not engage in kinslaying meaning he was trapped in a no win situation. While he did end up killing his mother in revenge and violating the taboo on kinslaying, it was ultimately determined by the gods to not be his fault. All of this is to say that it is not exactly a fair comparison to superimpose a serial killer onto Orestes and the Orestia.

Fun fact for Orestes; his father was killed by Clytemnestra, his mother. His sister was tricked into being a sacrifice by her father to start the Illiad and, in her grief and fury, promised her husband she'd kill him for it. Sure enough, 10 years later when the torjan war ends, she and her bf kill him. Orestes was bound to avenge his dad, but youre not suppose to kill family. This is also where Cassandra comes in because Menelaus (I think it was him) brought her home as a sex slave. So dude had it coming. Honestly, Clytemnesta was in the right.

@@melanisticmandalorian8909 The legend may be a tragedy, but the idea is still fun (interesting to say the least) as an explanation of a legal system. The Oresteia takes an older legend/cultural story, and morphs it into a play that has some genuinely comedic elements. If you read it, you can see first hand how the gods and Erinyes act as lawyers straight out of Suits. It is pretty fun. Also, there is no confusion of murders at all, the issue is whether or not the traditional system at the time can handle familial blood-for-blood retribution (it can't), and has to make way for advocacy. It's in the same vein the Medieval "Harrowing of Hell" plays played out to explain a rather complex part of Christian 'mythology' in a way that comes across as funny in modern terms. In that, you have Jesus take demons and Satan to town through 'legal speak' until Satan just say's no. At which point Jesus calls in an enforcer. It is a funny story.

Fun little fact, metal artist Methwitch (Cameron mcbride) contributed to the music during the stove creature fight scene, aswell as providing subtle screams to the credits music. Highly advise checking out Cameron's solo stuff, he is an incredibly talented and unknown artist. Projects include: methwitch, bleach wave, your ghost in glass, cam.tbh, brid3, and voidgasm

You missed that he was prepping a pomegranate! In Greek mythology, when Persephone is kidnapped down to Hades, Hades unknowingly tempts her to stay in the land of the dead. She ends up eating a few seeds from a POMEGRANATE. Bruce is inviting Meredith to the land of the dead because he wants to kill her.

The Leonora carrington work was my fav takeaway from this video, love the weird style that makes you feel a little unsettled but really intrigued at the same time

Honestly the weird fucking thing under the owl mask is where it got me- I laughed so loud, I love that "fuckhead going mad from repeated head trauma" has visions that are spooky and strange and- and also sometimes real fucking silly. Fucking comedy gold. Also, the revenge-porn of the erinyes torturing a serial killer in the night with surreal art shit, leading to him being outed as a sad, pathetic, jealous fucking sadsack, just like every serial killer in real life? FUCKING YES.

IIRC, the mc in the original play, Orestes, killed his mother as vengence for killing his father, Agamemnon under the order of Apollo. Now, while the killing is done under Apollo'sorder, in ancient Greek, killing your family members is a big no no. So, he was chased by Furies, tormented until he arrive at Athens, basically enter a court trial by Athena, bla2, win the trial by not being killed by the Fury.

In Greco-Roman mythology, the gods demand you kill the murderer of a family member. If the murderer is also a family member, you’re then cursed for killing them. No-win situation.

A nice change of pace to watch a murderer get tortured and driven mad. I approve. Great acting all around and crazy practical stuff.

Since the concept of the Erinyes is greek, I can’t help but tie the Pomegranates on his counter to Persephone, queen of the underworld and goddess of spring and flowers

And she's stuck having to go to hades' realm once a year for half the year. I think his killings is linked to the pomegranate where he only rests after he's killed.

I really like the detail of the furies in the statue representing the three women he becomes haunted by in his state. Kate makes dog sounds and doglike behavior for the dog one, The one with the wirey hair is Meredith, and the final is Leonora.

Pair this with Hard Candy and you definitely get a vengeful spirit making a guilty person uncomfortable enough to hurt themselves feel.

I enjoy listening to these every Sunday as I get ready for the week

There is also the idea that to allow the furies to take their wrath that a living entity (seemingly Meredith in this case) needs to be a willing vessel for the furies to be able to do their thing so to speak :)

I think it's interesting he sees an owl, the symbol of Athena, who in Oresteia ultimately sets Orestes free of his punishment

So next time a spooky dog runs in front of you before your first date to a secluded cabin with a relative stranger, you'll turn around and go back inside!

Honestly, Greek play style story telling needs to make a comeback.

Josh Ruben is one of the funniest and most underrated actors on the planet and it's weird seeing him as a serial killer.

I just love your work. I fall asleep listening to your voice all the time. Your very thorough and interestingly unique at how you explain all these movies. Great job 👍

16:09 There’s a recording on KZread from like the 80s of the play “The Orestia” (which was quoted earlier) and this mask looks like the masks the actors wore. The furies even had red hair in the play!

Lmao she saw so many ghosts but just acted like this was completely normal 👻👻😂😂

No matter how sad you can be, put a FoundFlix vid on and it will cheer you up

Literally was looking for a video about this movie about a week ago! Thank you so much!

Josh Ruben wrote and starred in “Scare Me” which is an awesome movie. Funny and original. Highly recommended

its also worth noting that Orestes only killed his mom because she killed his dad Agamemnon. he had honestly thought he was doing the right thing in avenging his father's death, not realizing that she killed the man because he killed their daughter in order to go fight in the Trojan War. on top of that, both Apollo and Athena vouch for him, the latter suggesting he be tried in the first ever official court of law in Athens, and the outcomes ends with him acquitted. when the Furies threaten to torture all of Athens as payback, Athena instead suggests they take up the role as protectors of justice rather than just a furious vengeance, thus earning them the name Semnai, or Venerable Ones. Even more fun is that its like that THIS is the true role they play in the movie. not jsut spirits of vengeance, but defends of justice punishing the serial killer for his crimes.

The owl is traditionally a symbol of wisdom, and symbol of philosophy...It has nothing to do with "fawn", that word has two meanings in English and neither is connected with an owl. I don't know why the filmmakers use that menacing humanoid owl, it is creepy, but there were so many much more terrifying entities in horror movies lately. One especially scary entity is shown in the film " No one gets alive", I think British horror that was made in 2021.
