Unknown Speaker 0:28
Hello
Unknown Speaker 0:30
rebels, and welcome to rebel film Friday. My name is Cameron, and I am once again, joined by AJ and Jayden after a brief hiatus, and today we are going back in time to the first Thanksgiving to take turkeys off the menu, because this week, we are watching Free Birds, released in 2013 directed by Jimmy Hayward, starring Owen Wilson and Woody Harrelson. Free Birds upon release was financially successful, however, it was panned by critics. So without further ado, let's get into some questions. First question I have in the scene where our main character, Reggie, finds out about pizza and uses the phone to order some, we see that when the pizza arrives, that how turkeys sound a human is just kind of gibberish, like how normal Turkey sound in real life. However, over the phone, they were somehow able to recognize that the turkey wanted a pizza. What is your theory on how the turkeys are able to, like, communicate their language over the phone? Like, what is your idea of how the logic of Turkey language operates in this film?
Unknown Speaker 1:32
It seems like every piece of technology in this film is capable of translating or understanding turkey. Steve, for example, understands Turkey perfectly. Every single word the turkey say he understands, and I guess over the phone, the pizza man understood too. So technology equals Turkey translation.
Unknown Speaker 1:51
I mean literally, somehow every single piece of device can understand Turkey. And I don't know how it has baffled me. But Steve, he's like, hello, Reggie. I forgot his name for a second. I was gonna call him Jerry. Hello, Reggie. Where would you like to go today? But then, like, you would think, come on, would a human, like, try and talk to Steve and be like, how are you doing? And he's like, the turkeys are coming because, like, there's the potential idea of he's like, this sentient AI or whatever. But no, he can just speak turkey for some unknown, other worldly reason. So the phone does it. So why not? Apparently,
Unknown Speaker 2:32
yeah, so turkeys can talk to other turkeys, as seen throughout the film. Turkeys cannot talk to humans because it's just gibberish. But over the phone. Turkey translates. So it's like a like having Google Translate open while you're talking to someone pretty much and talking about Steve specifically, Steve is just like an elevated like life form. He's not even a piece of technology anymore. He transcends all knowledge because he knows stuff that goes on in the future and stuff that hasn't even happened yet, as seen by when he tells Reggie that He's the great Turkey, even though it hasn't happened yet. But we're going to get into time paradoxes and more later. I just want to talk a little bit more about the use of the turkey language, and how does the phone translate. It like I get the idea that the device is the thing that causes the turkey, turkey translation to happen. Oh, and for everyone listening, we have a turkey count going, and by the end of the episode, we'll tell you how many times we've said Turkey. So stay tuned. But how exactly does the the phone translate Turkey? I understand how Steve, does it? Do
Unknown Speaker 3:42
you think it's like a government device that just translates anything you could ever imagine
Unknown Speaker 3:46
that would make sense, because it's at like camp. David, yeah, yeah.
Unknown Speaker 3:50
But here's my issue with that. You're telling me just the present is just gonna have this random phone. They can understand turkey.
Unknown Speaker 3:58
Yes, they have a time machine.
Unknown Speaker 4:01
They have a time machine. They I understand, they have a time machine. But why specifically turkey? Why not like goldfish? Why not like someone who's mute and they can, like the phone, can understand mute because
Unknown Speaker 4:13
the part in Turkey needs pizza Exactly.
Unknown Speaker 4:16
But like, so you're just telling me, they just grab around Turkey and they're like, Here you go. Go have pizza, buddy. You can order off my phone, and then, just like, it's a landline, it's not even, like it's a cell phone. It's a landline.
Unknown Speaker 4:29
That is true. It's not a cell it's a landline that translate turkey. Maybe it's like one of those ones where you just have to dial and it automatically, like, orders a pizza, but I assume you'd have to order what type of pizza and how many and the address. There are dial options,
Unknown Speaker 4:45
and also, plus, who knows, potentially, because landlines can be weird and well, I don't know how accurate this is going to be, but would right presidential office you have a landline, you call in, but they just know you're. The present or can you even like, Okay, I want extra cheesy, cheesy pizza. Let me go number three, and then I want some pepperonia as well. So I'm gonna do a number four. Okay, I'm done. I'm gonna do a number one, like, do the whole like, rotary type stuff. Or, well,
Unknown Speaker 5:15
that brings up whether, what time period the present day takes place in, because it's a little tricky to pin down.
Unknown Speaker 5:21
Didn't we say he sounded like Ronald Reagan or something? Yeah, and that'd be like, the 80s, 90s ish, right, yeah. So
Unknown Speaker 5:27
that's before call ID. So you'd have to tell someone if you were like the president, but I assume that like, certain landlines from like Camp David would go to certain places, and wouldn't, you wouldn't just be able to, like, I feel like there'd be some like, level of prioritization, but who knows? I mean, I don't really know too much about the 80s, 90s, kind of, like, landline kind of phones, you can't
Unknown Speaker 5:51
actually block out certain numbers, I'm pretty sure, on landlines, because I doubt they would just be like, Oh, anyone can call the president if you guess these funny numbers like that would just be weird, but I feel like it's got to be 2012 I doubt it's 1980 because if we're thinking about time period, Didn't someone have like a phone, and also aren't we talking about, like a secret elevator and all this other stuff like, I mean, this may just be a me thing, but with like, with the Hazmats and everything, more safety, this kind of feels like night, like 2012 more than 1980 because that's where we start focusing more on safety. You know, after Turner noble, we already know a bit more about nuclear power. So, like,
Unknown Speaker 6:36
Yeah, I mean, there's such like, because of the time machine, such like a elevated device. And on top of that, the TV is widescreen, not like a box CRT TV, like it would be back in the day. So the only thing that kind of threw me off of that, as we don't really see like cell phones or a lot of other like modern technology, ish, and since we see someone that looks kind of vaguely like Reagan, anyways, so time machines, we have covered two movies regarding time machines. Here at rebel film Friday, we have covered the Back to the Future, the first Back to the Future, and we have covered free birds now. So which time machine would you rather have? The DeLorean or Steve? And there's a couple pros, cons to each. The DeLorean looks a lot cooler, but it runs on plutonium, which is hard to come by. And Steve looks a little less cool, but it also can charge by solar power. AJ,
Unknown Speaker 7:33
what do you mean Steve looks less cool? He is the hottest rod out there at this moment. There's only one of a kind. You think the Mandalorian looks cool, wrong? The Las Vegas strip has the Mandalorian. There's also another place that has the Lost has the Mandalorian, Steve, one of a kind. He can hover. It can go anywhere. It can talk, I like. It can translate Turkey. And you're not going to question, what else it can do. Maybe you can translate fish. Maybe you can translate, hear me out whispers or mute people. It can solve stuff. It can help humanity. Also. Like, Wouldn't you love to just pull up to some kind of concert and be like, oh yeah, this is my homie, Steve. I am Steve. And just like he goes on some transcend, transcendent, like rant or whatever, like you have a homie right there and then,
Unknown Speaker 8:28
but the DeLorean looks so much cooler.
Unknown Speaker 8:31
It's Steve is an egg. Steve is efficient, yeah, well, yes, he's
Unknown Speaker 8:35
omniscient, but like, he's just an egg.
Unknown Speaker 8:38
If I have to trust my life with an omniscient egg or a nuclear powered DeLorean, I'm picking the omniscient egg.
Unknown Speaker 8:46
Who wouldn't pick the DeLorean? The DeLoreans classic, not
Unknown Speaker 8:50
me, because the egg looks cooler because you just pull up, you have these mystical steps that come out to you. Does the DeLorean open anything up for you, just by waving your hand or whatever? No, you have to press a button. You have to do stuff. Whereas Steve, he's like, here you go, your Highness and literally rolls out these steps can make you look like a God, because let's not forget that one scene where Reggie comes out. He's like, I am the great Turkey, and he has this all these cool lighting that would be amazing Bedtime Stories road. So
Unknown Speaker 9:24
your argument is lighting and the fact that you don't want to open a door, yeah,
Unknown Speaker 9:31
I should also add, though, Steve will record you against your permission,
Unknown Speaker 9:35
exactly. That's a violation of privacy, and I am against it. You know what the DeLorean will never do? Record you, but you
Unknown Speaker 9:41
want to know what the DeLorean can't do. Can't block bullets, can't block cannonball. What can Steve do? What's that? What's that way here, the cannonball stopped mid air. Wow. Can the DeLorean block projectiles?
Unknown Speaker 9:59
I don't. I don't need my DeLorean to block cannons, because I wouldn't be in the line of fire. It still takes
Unknown Speaker 10:04
time to charge up. Let's not forget the DeLorean. You have to go to a certain speed, and then you can go time travel.
Unknown Speaker 10:12
That is true. That is something that is a little bit of a drawback. However, the DeLorean looks cool,
Unknown Speaker 10:17
but the delore Steve looks better. Oh, wait, wait, if we talk
Unknown Speaker 10:21
about the DeLorean from the second movie, does that change your mind? Because that one can fly, while
Unknown Speaker 10:26
that one can fly, it still needs to reach the certain speed, so there's still time to be like, Okay, let's RPG this or whatever. But then Steve, he's like, Nah, but I'm good. You. You come out with a giant entrance. There's our giant entrance. Yes, the DeLorean fire trail behind you, but Steve, he opens up a giant hole in the sky for you, and everyone looks at you like your Messiah. It
Unknown Speaker 10:50
feels like the DeLorean is a time travel tool of absolute discipline, and Steve is the gluttons tool. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker 10:57
I mean, Steve is more than just a time machine. It's also like artificial intelligence as well, where it's just beyond our understanding. Steve, we're down here. Steve is all the way up here with Steve is beyond what mortal minds can comprehend. It's it can translate Turkey. It can tell you things that haven't even happened yet. It can take you through time. It's got everything, except for the fact that it's shaped like an
Unknown Speaker 11:27
egg. I am gonna debate you on one thing about it can tell the future. No, it can't, because it specifically heard, if we remember when he was in there. I already forgot the one bird's name, not Reggie, Jake, Jake. Jake was like the great turkey. Told me about this and all this other stuff. Then he later on, we hear Reggie discuss about the great turkey with himself and in like, the egg, why can't the egg put two and two right there? Like he heard about the great Turkey. He knows that he can go back in time, and he has the sacred door knob that you showed off to, sacred time knob. Sacred time knob. Put
Unknown Speaker 12:06
some respect on its
Unknown Speaker 12:09
name. You showed Steve this, right? Why can't Steve just put two and two together? I don't think he can tell the future, because we can't tell the future. He can just put two and two together. He's like, Yeah, you're the great Turkey, but you have it right here. I just heard the story not too long ago. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker 12:27
Well, the thing regarding Reggie going back in time as the great Turkey to start Jake's journey hasn't happened yet. So therefore, how would Steve know about it? And in fact, Steve doing this creates a paradox, because telling Reggie to go back in time to start Jake's journey, which starts Jake to go forwards in time to get Reggie from Camp David and tell him about the great Turkey and take him back in time. It's a little like a little loop. You know, I didn't think
Unknown Speaker 12:56
about this, but I guess the great Turkey scenario with Jake happens in the past, not the future. Oh, that is true, but still, Steve wouldn't know unless he has a universal database of everything in time,
Unknown Speaker 13:10
exactly. Well, I mean, he would, because he's a time machine, yeah, he would have that database, but he has to know. Like, I'd understand if he knows, like events, times and places, but I wouldn't understand if he knows like everything, because that's not how an artificial intelligence would work. Is I don't think that just a random artificial intelligence would know what's going on in some random turkeys life.
Unknown Speaker 13:36
I have an idea. You guys ready? You guys ready? Go for us with it. Hear me out. Jake is so much more than just a hot rod. He is the Savior. Here's why he wants peace, right? Everyone thinks AI revolt against humans. Humans are terrifying. They're terrible. Jake is like, no, it's Steve. Steve is like, Nah, bro, everyone you have pizza because it doesn't harm anyone. You don't get to kill turkeys, and everyone gets Have a nice day. So isn't Steve wanting peace? Isn't he stronger than just an AI? He is the man he is. He is the person to help save people.
Unknown Speaker 14:19
Steve's the main character.
Unknown Speaker 14:21
Steve is the main character. Steve is the Savior of mankind. He is all we need for salvation. And what we needed for salvation was changing the menu from turkeys to Pizza. Pizza. All right, on to the next question, Who is your favorite character in free birds? And why? Uh,
Unknown Speaker 14:39
honestly, pizza dude, because he just rolls up and he's like, at first, Oh,
Unknown Speaker 14:46
what's this
Unknown Speaker 14:46
turkey doing right here? And then later on there, they have a whole fist bump, and then they're kicking fee. They're like, they're homies. He's homies with a turkey that that's pretty dope.
Unknown Speaker 14:58
The pardon Turkey, I should. Ed, I think my favorite character is the homeless Turkey that we see for like, two scenes, and he calls Reggie weirdo.
Unknown Speaker 15:10
Homeless Turkey is the best. Yeah, I'd say my favorite are the hazmat guys. It's not a specific character, but the hazmat guys are so funny the specific scene that I just cannot stop laughing at is like they're talking about, like there's a turkey in the in the place where the Time Machine is. And one guy's like, how should we address it, sir, and the other one says, with cranberry sauce. And they just start laughing, ah, just over and over again.
Unknown Speaker 15:37
They're so humorous. I deeply appreciate the hazmat guys.
Unknown Speaker 15:41
It's so funny and it's so sad that we don't see those characters ever again in the movie. Yeah,
Unknown Speaker 15:47
literally, it's just like one of those characters that somehow you just love. It's they're not even the main character, but they are just like, they have that one moment that just kind of defines them, because also later on, they're like, not it, not it, not it. And then he looks just left. He's like, Oh, I was one day away from retirement. And the other dude is just patting him on his back. Don't worry, you got this? And then they're all laughing. And then the door just closes on the foot, and then you just see him, the one dude who went in spin around, but slowly while the other zooms around because of the suit, like they were just funny. I don't think again. I think what would be cool is if we got, you know, Blu ray days, if we got like, bonus scenes with them, Oh, my God, would have been amazing. Imagine
Unknown Speaker 16:35
if they had, like, the Pixar like outtakes. You remember from early Pixar movies where there was just, like, funny little Bloopers And Outtakes at the end. That would be great with all the hazmat guys and whatnot. And I think that's one of the flaws of this movie, is that they introduce so many funny, or, like, possibly funny characters, and they don't do a lot with them. So they introduce the Crazy Chicken at the start, and he's only around for like, two scenes. They introduce the the people in the President's plane. They introduce the the short emo kid, which is just a background character, but it'd be so funny to hear from him. And then they introduce the daughter. They introduce all the people that are inside the the secret base, and they're just not in the story after act one after Act One. All the everything forwards is just the turkeys and everything back in 1621, so
Unknown Speaker 17:30
one of the characters that I just remember that absolutely loved was the general because he's like, you'll drive it. You only have a 5% chance of living. He's like, wait, what any and then he immediately presses the mute button. He says it's on a need to know basis. That's a great it's a good character, like, he drops that funny line, and he's like, need to know basis, and does what no one would really think to do, which is just mute the dude while you see him panicking in the room.
Unknown Speaker 18:01
I think the actual line was he better be because the chances of survival are almost zero. And it's just so funny and delivered with such like, raw vigor, and it's great. I feel like
Unknown Speaker 18:16
back to what you were saying about some things that just didn't get expanded on. It feels like this movie is so unfinished, like it was supposed to be maybe a three part thing, or just WAY longer, even, because there's so many things that they established that they just don't revisit, like even the little emo kid in the barn. I feel like that was its own thing as a whole, that they wanted to visit, but then just didn't like they were rushing. Maybe they ran out of money and just had to finish the movie. Yeah, it's
Unknown Speaker 18:43
definitely not like a super high budget animation flick, but it still does the most with kind of what it has. It's still pretty funny. It's not perfect, and it's certainly not like a great, great movie, but it's, it's funny and an enjoyable watching your Thanksgiving, definitely. So next question, much of the movie has a lot of revisionist history, as you could tell from the turkey being replaced with pizza for the main meal Thanksgiving. Did you pick up on anything else that's kind of revisionist in the history of this Free Birds world?
Unknown Speaker 19:18
I guess along the lines of the pizza do I think his name was Mr. Anchovy or something, and he dropped the fish on the pizza on accident. That's what I noticed.
Unknown Speaker 19:27
Oh, wow.
Unknown Speaker 19:30
Something I noticed is they used dynamite to kind of flush out the turkeys towards the tree scene in the movie. And as it turns out, dynamite wasn't actually invented until like, 1863 and the movie takes place in 1621, and another thing that AJ and I were discussing earlier was that, do they do they even have cannons at that point? I think they have cannons, I'm pretty sure. Yeah, but do they have I know they have muskets. I'm pretty sure they have cannons. Yeah. Then 13th century, definitely, but it's there's a little bit of revisionist history here, and I'm kind of all for it. I want to see a different like era for free birds, like, let's say now that the first Thanksgiving is saved. Now another holiday, a fourth of July, turns out, oh, now this is the holiday that they have turkeys for dinner, and they have to go save for the Fourth of July and take turkeys off the menu for that. It just, I think it'd be really funny to keep going forwards and forwards in time until they arrive at present day and there's no more turkeys to be on the menu. I
Unknown Speaker 20:35
think that's a great Jake sequel.
Unknown Speaker 20:37
Oh my gosh, that's being amazing Jake sequel. It'd be like Back to the Future too. But for turkeys, you know, Jake would just come back and be like, I need your help. Reggie, we need to go to fourth of July to get turkeys off the menu. Yeah, that would be, that would be amazing, a little three parter, right there, greatest trilogy that has never been made. And
Unknown Speaker 21:00
I think they could, if they were to kind of pull, like a cars where, like cars two and curse three, that took, like, there was silence, there was radio silence. There was really nothing else after cars two, then out of nowhere, they're like, let's put, you know, cars three and like, give Lightning McQueen arrest. If they were to do the same thing for this movie. I would probably still watch it like
Unknown Speaker 21:22
turkey shoe coming back to you. It's
Unknown Speaker 21:26
like the Fast and Furious title. It's two free two birds, or free birds two Electric Boogaloo. Just Just do something really funny with the title. Free Birds two the reckoning. The the reckoning. All right, next question. So some very well known voice actors are in this movie. We've discussed, Owen Wilson, Woody Harrelson, but also Keith David is in the movie as well. What do you think about the performances by the actors? How does it enhance the movie?
Unknown Speaker 21:56
It kind of reminds me, sorry. I didn't mean to. It kind of reminds me of what you were talking about one time with like the star casting, and how like, it may benefit or prove to be a failure towards the movie as a whole. But it's like it wasn't too bad this movie, like, most of the voices were pretty good. The only one that was bad, I think, was Ranger, and his voice was just comedic to me the whole time, especially the one scene where they're fighting over the slice of pizza, and he says, That's my slice. It's just weird. Voice Over, over there. Tumble for
Unknown Speaker 22:26
me. I think it's the difference between having a movie like this and chopping ball. Because chopping ball, which is, if you haven't heard our voice over or our discussion of it, chopping ball, there weren't really any memorable characters, and it just kind of felt empty. But this, however, you have lots of memorable characters, you have lots of laughable moments to the point it could be something more, and it can just really grow and expand. It's the characters. They all played it out really well. I don't think anyone really fell that short, because, to your point, like Ranger, some people may only have, like, this one line of voice, but they do it really well because that fits their character. It's not force. It doesn't feel like, Oh, well, we can't really do that because we ran out budgeting, so we had to hire, like, some person off the street. Like, no, they put time and effort like they played the character really, really well, to the point, which is where I think makes a movie like this feel good and funny compared to chopping ball, where it's still, like, kind of nice to watch. But you know, by like, standards, it's not that good. It didn't hold up. Well, this movie, I think, held up well, like, the comedy is still there, the voice acting is still there. You can still get into the movie as goofy at it as it is. Yeah,
Unknown Speaker 23:46
it's one of those instances where star casting actually kind of enhances the movie, mostly from a comedic sense, because if this movie tried to be serious, it would not work. It's funny, and they had a lot of voice actors that can do the funny voices. It's actually, I think, Woody harrelson's only voice acting role, which is interesting, because he has a really nice like voice that could be used in a lot of different animations. But on the topic of rangers voice, I actually kind of liked it because it was, he was kind of a one note character, a little bit, but I didn't, we didn't really need another character to continue like or to have a character arc, because we were already having the one with Jake, the one with Reggie, the side plot with Reggie and female turkey. Speaking of that, speaking of character like names and designs, specifically the designs part. Um, actually turns out what haroldson was in a few more things. But speaking of the designs, um, what do you think was the inspiration? Just to make some of the turkeys blue and some red? You
Unknown Speaker 24:51
wanted this one? Uh, mainly because Hear me out blue and red. Those are my favorite colors. And lots of people. Yeah, they love red. I love blue. So why not?
Unknown Speaker 25:03
I feel like it's so much deeper than that. Like, oh, there's so many more intelligent turkeys in the past, and there's so many more blue ones. But like, in the future, it's just Reggie. He's the only blue intelligent Turkey, right?
Unknown Speaker 25:18
Well, yes, but Ranger also isn't exactly an intelligent Turkey, something. I also wanted to touch on that little, oh, I had, I had the revelation that I remember the name of the female Tur. It's Jenny, like, the, like, the song, like the 80s song, 8675309, is Jenny's number. That's, anyways, yeah, no, Ranger isn't exactly smart,
Unknown Speaker 25:40
he's more intelligent than the future turkeys, though, that is true, but all the future turkeys are dumb, exactly, and they're all red. They're all red. So
Unknown Speaker 25:48
is Jake the dumbest? Because he's the reddest. I mean, we've kind of proved that Jake was dumb throughout the movie. He tried to spell his own name, j, A, K and Reggie, R, E, G, yeah.
Unknown Speaker 25:59
But he's still more intelligent than Is he more intelligent than Ranger? Do you think?
Unknown Speaker 26:03
No, no, I think Ranger can spell. You think Ranger can spell?
Unknown Speaker 26:08
Hear? Hear me out. I think they're almost the exact same character. But it's asking the difference between a barbarian who has intelligence level seven and a barbarian with intelligence level eight, it's masculine. It doesn't really matter, because it's gonna be almost the exact same role. But it's like, maybe one roll or two of a difference. But it's like, oh, you see a person behind the tree instead of you see a shadow behind the tree. Like, there's two different scenarios, but they're both similar. They both just have right bearing. They both just want blood, and they're both just trying to be mucho macho man. I agree.
Unknown Speaker 26:47
It's not a huge difference. It just kind of is the same character. Ish, I'd say that Jake's a little funnier and Ranger's a little more serious, but mostly just the same character, kind of just the same side of the same coin. I think
Unknown Speaker 27:03
Rangers comedy just comes from his voice. He just sounds so goofy to me.
Unknown Speaker 27:07
We need to report this back to the colony right away. Yeah,
Unknown Speaker 27:10
that's so funny.
Unknown Speaker 27:12
All right. So there's a decent amount of montages throughout the film. How do you think montage helps the first act specifically because we see the montage about the we see the montage about the holidays, we see the montage about the pizza stuff. We see the montage about turkeys. How does that help just really quickly establish the film. It
Unknown Speaker 27:35
kind of just builds more of the event. Because typically, for the slower parts, like we don't really need to see all the fine art details, like we already have the details played out before, and now we just need a fast pace so then we can actually see a bit more of the world, rather than anything else, where it just kills time.
Unknown Speaker 27:54
I agree, yeah,
Unknown Speaker 27:55
it kind of it feels like the same thing where that I was talking about earlier, where this movie felt like it should have been longer. And I'm happy they did this with the montages, because we didn't need to like stack on the way Reggie just cultivated in Camp David. It just simple montage works. We didn't need Thanksgiving or holidays explained to us. Simple montage works. So I think it works the movie's benefit definitely. Would
Unknown Speaker 28:20
you like the turkey count before we end? We're not
Unknown Speaker 28:23
at the turkey count yet. We're not at our end. Yeah, I have one more thing I wanted to say about the movie, and I just think that the first act really nicely sets it up. And I like the message, because Thanksgiving is about family. It's about spending time with your loved ones. And they say that at the start, and part of the movie is about found family. Reggie finds his found family. Jake finally makes his family proud, and it's a lot, a lot about familial bonds. I just realized
Unknown Speaker 28:53
this is great commentary and symbolism. It teaches you, instead of having fights and arguments during Thanksgiving dinner, just come together and be family and eat pizza.

It's just that simple, yep, and rebel against your oppressors. That's that's the way to spend Thanksgiving. All right. Well, that's all the time we have for this episode, and before we leave, it's time for the turkey. Count, drum roll. Turkey. Count, 5555 times we said Turkey in this episode 56 now you because you said, don't say it again. That's all the time we have for this episode. And remember, while this might be goodbye, goodbyes are just hellos carried across the wind until our paths intersect once again and we'll see you next time on rebel film Friday. You.
