He. He has mommy issues, right? Mom keeps him sheltered. He's. He's a little retarded. So, you know, she. He doesn't really get out a lot. He's just kind of a farmhand. One thing leads to another, and he kind of breaks the seal on murder. I don't want to spoil too much. I mean, I know it's history, right? But, like, you know, if you're gonna watch the series, which I really kind of don't recommend, I don't recommend. The guy from Sons of Anarchy acted well. He did a good job, I will say that. But I did notice, like, you know, there's a lot of, like, him trouncing about women's lingerie. And they do that, like, constantly. I know that was, like. I guess it was an element of what he did was he wore a lot of panties and brass ears. But I felt like they just overused that plot. It's the same thing I was saying the other day on Twitter about the substance, which is supposed to be this, like, renowned film. Really groundbreaking. Best horror film in years. Allegedly. Really. It was just an excuse to show off Demi Moore's recently purchased tits. And it was, like, a constant thing. They just kept pulling her old tits out and swinging them around. Like, every other scene was, like, about finding a reason to get Demi more naked. And it felt like I said this on X. It felt like this old crone who just kept pulling her new tits out and going, not bad for a crone, huh? Like, it was really. So it was like, kind of felt the same in the Ed Gaines thing was like they just kept trying to. I know. Top. I know it's a Christian show, but these are true things. All right, so. So I felt like they kept trying to get him in his underwear the same way. It was like, a shock value. And the dude is like. He's kind of shredded. I mean, everybody knows the guy from. It's like Jack from Sons of Anarchy, which is. Is one of those shows. Everybody thought it was a. It was all right. It was all right. Sons of Anarchy was on. On air the same time Breaking Bad was Breaking Bad, a far superior show. You know, they did put Brian Cranston in his underwear, but it wasn't for the same reason. So. So you have the actor, whatever, I don't know what his name is. You know, he's kind of shredded and he's in women's underwear. They keep doing it over and over again. And so. So like I said, he breaks the seal on murder. He's dressing in ladies clothes. Eventually it gets to this whole crazy place where he's wearing, you know, women's skin, he's wearing their. Their tits. Yes. Redbeard says Breaking Bad is superior. It really is. It really is. So one of my favorite shows, honestly, one of the few shows I've watched the thing in its entirety, like maybe three times. Maybe three times. So I don't want to spend too long. I'm not going to tell you the whole thing. But the thing that really bummed me out about it, besides all the grotesque, he's like having sex with cadavers. He's dressing in the underwear, he's wearing their skin. It's just like dud. And they're just showing so much of this. Like, it's never like. Gone are the days where they used to insinuate that a thing happened. Now it's just like. And they show Alfred Hitchcock, by the way, who couldn't be a more detestable character. And a lot of this is actually exploring the concept that, like Alfred Hitchcock wrote about. Ed Gaines made a movie that forever changed the culture. It's this idea that, like, after or During World War II, Americans were exposed to such atrocities that the type of content that they were willing to engage in was like, you know, the boundaries are really pushed and. And it was no longer doing it for them. Kind of the run of the mill shit that they had been exposed to previously. Now they needed something horrifying, something that reflected or mirrored the atrocities that they were seeing during World War II. So in that way, it's fascinating. And the other thing that they explore is that this created a copycat phenomenon, which was, you know, is a real philosophical question there. Because it's like these people that admired Ed Gain and then went on to commit atrocities would actually write Ed Gain after he was, you know, imprisoned. Well, he wasn't in prison. He was put into a mental asylum because he's retarded. But they would write him and say, hey, I'm an admirer. You know, I went and recreated my own version of your work inspired by you one way or the other. And it was like, that's weird. So like, I don't know if it's, you know, World War II pushes the bar for atrocities worldwide or if it's highlighting Ed Gein who's doing this thing, putting them all over the news, putting them all over the newspapers, creates this copycat phenomenon. Much like the kind of the school shooter thing. Yeah. Madeline Brooks says, wasn't the Texas Chainsaw guy based off Ed Gain? Yeah, or at least inspired by. So, so. Oh, that's interesting. Atma says how, how the. Do you admire a cross dressing serial killer? Are we sure this isn't the phenomenon? Meaning like the Nathaniel Gillis version of the phenomenon? I mean, yeah, that's, that's huge. A huge element of it in my opinion. Clearly what Ed is going through in the film is demonic, but they don't come out and say it. But it's just an interesting thought. It's like, why is this copycat phenomenon so prevalent? Is it just that the world is heading towards this level of chaos and, and like World War II breaks the seal and then from then on out it's just like horrifying atrocity after horrifying atrocity. I, I don't think so. I mean, you know, we've been torturing people for a long time and skinning people and you know, beheading martyrs, etc, etc, so I have a feeling that it's the, the publicizing of the thing, you know, making it big in that way, plastering it all over, all over the newspapers and such. It becomes this thing that like grips American culture. I mean every time we have a, let's say like a kidnapping of a particular like blonde haired, blue eyed, little white girl, it like becomes the thing that enamors the country until the case is solved. Right. Especially this was like a lot more popular back in the day before the Internet made it. We're just getting bukhaki with so much now, but back when it was much more centralized, this kind of information, they would give us like one JonBenet Ramsey who may or may not have existed, shout out to Human Vibration. Agatha says if it makes money, they're going to make media of it. Yeah, yeah, for sure. But it's just weird being downstream from what that created. So it's the same thing with the school shooter phenomenon, which is what I was getting at before, which is like, you know, you have this shooter, this mass shooter event and then what ends up popping up in the conversation is like, how much of this is copycat shit? How, how much of it is MK Ultra CIA Manchurian Candidate activated shooters that, you know, one thing or the other. But also, what element of it is, like, the copycat phenomenon? I don't know. I mean, serial killers are an interesting thing because they even kind of play into this. We've talked about it on the show before on Nephilim Death Squad, about what amount of serial killers are actually just scapegoats for the government. You know, that's like a broad term, but, like, you will just use it. The government doing this to people and then blaming, like, a serial killer. You know what I mean? So, I don't know. The whole thing was weird. And. And before I depart off of it, I just want to say that the thing that bummed me out the most in it, and this is going to be a little bit of a spoiler alert, is like, towards the end, he is in a mental institution, and he has, like, remorse about what he's done, and he's able to, I think, aid going here. Okay, good, good. I had a little Internet problem for a second, so let me make sure I'm not on the wrong. So he aids in the capture of Ted Bundy, and. And it seems like a big deal for him. There's even this moment where he gets to express like, oh, dude, I got to give back to extreme Black Dao if I'm frozen. We all good? Are we back? Anybody hear me? Nancy, can you hear me?
