And then it just ends with a fade to static then moody — Homeland-like — jazz. I guess the writer(s) gave up on an ending and left us on the side of the highway with our protagonist. Weird. #BroadcastSignalIntrusion #TubiYellingWithKat
Now watching #BroadcastSignalIntrusion: a neonoir about a man falling all the way down the conspiracy rabbit hole. Now James and Alice on a journey of old motel rooms and maddening almost clues. And now Alice left. #TubiYellingWithKat
Maybe he was too embarrassed to come home. Or the group got in his head. So he fled. #TheConspiracy2012 #FoundFootage #TubiYellingWithKat
Tonight’s viewing: the tonally inconsistent, awkwardly plotted, and yet weirdly compelling: #DeathCipher. Expect #spoilers in my latest #TubiYellingWithKat.
Group shot in poolside clothing: Colt, Nora, a guy from the old cult tapes, Colt’s brother, Emma, and the man in the duck head from other tapes. All appear smiling. The phrase: Help us is in capital letters, superimposed over the image.
From end-credits: THIS PROJECT MADE POSSIBLE BY THE GENEROUS DONATIONS OF BIG JAKE'S MATTRESS SURPLUS THE CHIROPRACTIC INSTITUATE OF AMERICAN ORTHODOXY CYBER DAWN FOUNDATION THE AWF
Also from end credits (very end): KEEP CLIMBING THE LADDER
And these. Which only muddies the intent of the filmmaker further: tone, plot, etc. What a ride, #DeathCipher. #TubiYellingWithKat
And again I say, assuming I take the poorly named #DeathCipher at face value, regardless of its inability to maintain a consistent tone: what the fuck, movie, what the fuck? #TubiYellingWithKat
And now Colt is calling? If he’s a cult rep, he sees kind of sloppy. Or just new, like he said? // #DeathCipher #TubiYellingWithKat
The Feds showed up? Already? // I’m not convinced these two stories are connected. // so far this sounds like an ARG that got out of control. #DeathCipher #TubiYellingWithKat
Definitely getting a spaghetti on the wall vibe for which parts of this conspiracy #DeathCipher wants us to focus on… // I’m here for any movie calling chiropractic out for what it is — bullshit. // oh this is some cult shit. Weird man in a duck mask saying non-sequiturs. #TubiYellingWithKat
This is why I don’t trust chiropractors. #DeathCipher #TubiYellingWithKat
Big Jake’s Mattress Surplus! Oh this is sketch. What #DeathCipher starts here? #TubiYellingWithKat // is this a really low rent ARG?
Little naive Emma, did you get traficked??? Not necessarily sex traficked, not some kind of work for no pay scheme. Do young people even post vlogs to websites anymore? I thought they were tik-tok-ing? This looks like a Wordpress analogue. #MillenialFeelsOld #TubiYellingWithKat
Well I thought I was watching #DeathCipher — what was that weird beginning: looked like really low rent porn featuring woman pouring water on herself. // now this is the bargain basement filmed on digital quality I was expecting. This is giving filmed during the pandemic so far. #TubiYellingWithKat
Being with nature as a meditative process! // oh no, it looks like the biology department head wants to phase out plants! Dad is understandably dumbfounded. // Wondering if mom and/or dad get bonding hormones closer to completion of pregnancy. #ThePodGeneration #TubiYellingWithKat
I’m glad they have a cat. And that Alvy and Rachel are generally happy. // As a botanist, he’s struggling to jump on the magical thinking train with Rachel. But he should come around later in their pregnancy. #ThePodGeneration #TubiYellingWithKat
I do appreciate that Alvy saw Eliza (Rachel’s computerized, algorithmic, shrink), even though Eliza was completely unhelpful for him — probably b/c he’s an outlier, so her support algorithms don’t work for/with him. // Sounds like Alvy just needed more time. #ThePodGeneration #TubiYellingWithKat
Saw Ladybug (2024) on my Tubi recommended list. Looks spooky and atmospheric indie. Let’s do this! #TubiYellingWithKat
So from what he’s saying he used to get return site locations, so he could dispose of the remains. Whether he’s right or has all the info — probably not especially on the latter — that we as audience don’t know. #AtFirstLight2018 #TubiYellingWithKat
I can still feel it. // it’s this hum emanating from herself. #AtFirstLight2018 #TubiYellingWithKat
I just finished watching #JamieMarksIsDead on Tubi. It’s surprisingly good. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1/2 #TubiYellingWithKat
Well that was an unexpected delight — several elder aged folks meet an alien they name Jules. So sweet. Tonally Jules reminds me of Lars and the Real Girl. #TubiYellingWithKat #TonightsFilm
And there’s a picture of “the real group” — bad movie, bad. #TheQuietOnes #TubiYellingWithKat
#TheQuietOnes is a scattered movie in need of an editor or editors, but there’s still a kernel of a good story here. #TubiYellingWithKat
Can’t sleep, so I’m watching A Banquet (2021) on Tubi. // so far it feels like an allegory for when a teenager develops a chronic illness. The kind that’s difficult to figure out. #TubiYellingWithKat
Alright #OlderGods, you fucking weird high concept low budget indie film. I find your deeply bizarre premise intriguing and I go with you on this weird fucked up journey. World-building via first person narrative and descriptive closed captions. #TubiYellingWithKat
A vet’s office is a strange place for a theodicy, but okay? // Looks like Rusty the dog is doing okay. Maybe dead dad was having an affair with the cute receptionist played by Natasha Lyonne. #TubiYellingWithKat
Dear #JackGoesHome writer(s),
Please spare Rusty. I assume he is a good dog. Possibly cat. #TubiYellingWithKat
