00:09:01,520 i have is so let's presume this 226 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,280 is taking place in one town 227 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,360 this this is not going national 228 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:05,920 or anything 229 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,610 these things aren't like super 230 00:09:08,610 --> 00:09:10,970 famous this is just one small 231 00:09:10,970 --> 00:09:12,980 town in in like middle of 232 00:09:12,980 --> 00:09:15,300 nowhere usa 233 00:09:15,300 --> 00:09:18,900 or canada or canadia yes yeah 234 00:09:18,900 --> 00:09:22,200 also known by leno ruley as 235 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:28,730 fake america so okay i'm with 236 00:09:28,730 --> 00:09:30,460 you so far 237 00:09:30,460 --> 00:09:32,570 now when they plant the flowers 238 00:09:32,570 --> 00:09:34,600 so so obviously these flowers 239 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,290 would look as if they have 240 00:09:36,290 --> 00:09:37,300 their own roots 241 00:09:37,300 --> 00:09:38,700 because you're not going to 242 00:09:38,700 --> 00:09:40,070 drag a vine all the way from 243 00:09:40,070 --> 00:09:41,840 the store back to your house so 244 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:43,380 these would 245 00:09:43,380 --> 00:09:45,760 have to be like little seedlings 246 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,520 yeah but do the seedlings then 247 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,400 underground grow a vine back to 248 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:49,700 the 249 00:09:49,700 --> 00:09:56,370 main one okay so basically the 250 00:09:56,370 --> 00:10:00,750 story is plant hive mind is 251 00:10:00,750 --> 00:10:05,620 using its hive mind influence 252 00:10:05,620 --> 00:10:07,200 through hip 253 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,980 hypnosis of its flowers to get 254 00:10:09,980 --> 00:10:12,430 people to plant more of the 255 00:10:12,430 --> 00:10:15,000 flowers to expand its reach 256 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:16,480 across a small 257 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,780 town in the united states or 258 00:10:19,780 --> 00:10:23,190 canada yeah okay okay wait i i 259 00:10:23,190 --> 00:10:26,310 have i have a full idea now 260 00:10:26,310 --> 00:10:28,000 okay do go on so 261 00:10:28,560 --> 00:10:30,180 Originally in this town, there 262 00:10:30,180 --> 00:10:31,220 was a laboratory. 263 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:33,760 And they were testing on 264 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:37,580 genetic manipulation on plants, 265 00:10:37,580 --> 00:10:39,560 as a lot of places do. 266 00:10:40,180 --> 00:10:40,460 Okay. 267 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:42,910 And one day, a horrible tragedy 268 00:10:42,910 --> 00:10:45,630 occurred where a suddenly sinkhole 269 00:10:45,630 --> 00:10:46,700 appeared. 270 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:48,010 It was definitely a sinkhole, 271 00:10:48,010 --> 00:10:49,110 and none of the plants they 272 00:10:49,110 --> 00:10:50,380 made caused it, for sure. 273 00:10:52,340 --> 00:10:52,900 Okay. 274 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:54,630 So there's a few different 275 00:10:54,630 --> 00:10:56,540 genetically modified plants 276 00:10:56,540 --> 00:10:57,980 trapped down there. 277 00:10:57,980 --> 00:10:59,900 And the biggest one is the one 278 00:10:59,900 --> 00:11:01,660 that now has the shop built 279 00:11:01,660 --> 00:11:02,420 over it. 280 00:11:02,780 --> 00:11:05,730 I'm now getting a little bit of 281 00:11:05,730 --> 00:11:09,060 Batman and Robin vibes when, 282 00:11:09,060 --> 00:11:10,340 you know, 283 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:11,410 scientists have been 284 00:11:11,410 --> 00:11:12,660 experimenting with plant 285 00:11:12,660 --> 00:11:13,880 extracts and whatnot, 286 00:11:14,300 --> 00:11:16,140 and kills Lady and, like, all 287 00:11:16,140 --> 00:11:18,540 the plant extracts and, like, 288 00:11:18,540 --> 00:11:20,600 hybrid plants grab her. 289 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,220 And then she becomes, like, Poison 290 00:11:23,220 --> 00:11:24,940 Ivy is, like, what her 291 00:11:24,940 --> 00:11:26,680 character's name is. 292 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:27,940 But still. 293 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:30,310 So, yeah, obviously that 294 00:11:30,310 --> 00:11:31,400 happens. 295 00:11:31,460 --> 00:11:32,810 And they built the new flower 296 00:11:32,810 --> 00:11:33,800 shop on top of it. 297 00:11:34,220 --> 00:11:35,040 Well, yeah. 298 00:11:35,700 --> 00:11:37,880 Wait, the plants built it? 299 00:11:37,940 --> 00:11:39,240 No, the plants didn't build it. 300 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:39,640 Okay. 301 00:11:39,860 --> 00:11:40,900 Some people did. 302 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:41,940 So, okay. 303 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,230 So, laboratory basically falls 304 00:11:44,230 --> 00:11:45,500 into sinkhole. 305 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:47,720 Definitely natural causes. 306 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:48,360 Definitely. 307 00:11:48,740 --> 00:11:49,910 You know, the scientists don't 308 00:11:49,910 --> 00:11:51,500 know that this has happened. 309 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,060 Like, maybe, like, well, how do 310 00:11:53,060 --> 00:11:54,430 you foreshadow that without it 311 00:11:54,430 --> 00:11:55,800 being obvious, though? 312 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,040 Like, hey, whoops, I dropped 313 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,060 one of the sample seeds and it 314 00:12:00,060 --> 00:12:02,440 fell somewhere and it's lost. 315 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:04,210 I don't know how you set that 316 00:12:04,210 --> 00:12:05,520 up in a way that's organic. 317 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:07,080 Hey, organic. 318 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:08,460 Yeah, there we go. 319 00:12:09,220 --> 00:12:10,640 All right. 320 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:12,530 But I don't know how you set 321 00:12:12,530 --> 00:12:14,330 that up in a way that is not 322 00:12:14,330 --> 00:12:16,360 obvious from the get-go. 323 00:12:16,460 --> 00:12:17,660 But then again, this is a bee 324 00:12:17,660 --> 00:12:18,640 movie, probably. 325 00:12:19,180 --> 00:12:20,120 So, people probably don't care 326 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:21,160 that it's obvious. 327 00:12:21,900 --> 00:12:22,930 They're like, I bet that's 328 00:12:22,930 --> 00:12:24,820 going to come back later. 329 00:12:26,420 --> 00:12:27,200 So, okay. 330 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,460 So, scientists are working with 331 00:12:29,460 --> 00:12:31,620 genetically inbred plants. 332 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:34,720 I said inbred plants. 333 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:37,950 They're keeping their 334 00:12:37,950 --> 00:12:39,520 relationship in the plant 335 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:40,220 family. 336 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:43,500 Anyway, moving on. 337 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:45,460 So, plant, seed, pod gets 338 00:12:45,460 --> 00:12:47,240 dropped at some point. 339 00:12:47,460 --> 00:12:49,080 And then, entire building 340 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:50,700 randomly collapses. 341 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:52,120 Scientists don't really know 342 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:53,060 what's going on. 343 00:12:53,820 --> 00:12:54,480 But the entire building 344 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,320 collapses into a sinkhole. 345 00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:58,240 And then the town comes and, 346 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,160 like, fills the sinkhole in 347 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,240 with, like, dirt and stuff to 348 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:03,940 make it stable again. 349 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:04,340 Yeah. 350 00:13:04,340 --> 00:13:05,880 So, they fill it in with, like, 351 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:07,420 concrete, dirt, whatever. 352 00:13:08,300 --> 00:13:09,980 And then they sell the lot. 353 00:13:10,940 --> 00:13:11,260 Yep. 354 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:12,860 And what

story has 441 00:15:18,670 --> 00:15:20,820 just taken a turn. 442 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,170 Because, you're like, well, the 443 00:15:23,170 --> 00:15:25,220 story is about this hive mind. 444 00:15:25,460 --> 00:15:26,180 Plant. 445 00:15:26,380 --> 00:15:26,540 Yeah. 446 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:28,740 No, no, no, no. 447 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:31,000 See. 448 00:15:31,620 --> 00:15:32,880 Here's where we go with this. 449 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:34,720 Whistleblower guy is actually 450 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:35,920 one of the former mad 451 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:37,860 scientists who nobody knew that 452 00:15:37,860 --> 00:15:38,680 escaped. 453 00:15:39,020 --> 00:15:39,200 Yeah. 454 00:15:39,780 --> 00:15:40,140 Okay. 455 00:15:41,100 --> 00:15:41,790 And, he doesn't know what 456 00:15:41,790 --> 00:15:43,700 happened to the building. 457 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:44,800 He just knows that the town 458 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:45,960 filled it in and whatnot. 459 00:15:46,100 --> 00:15:47,460 And, he's trying to make sure 460 00:15:47,460 --> 00:15:48,960 that he's distancing himself 461 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:50,520 from anything having to do with 462 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:50,900 it. 463 00:15:50,980 --> 00:15:52,290 Because, you know, it was kind 464 00:15:52,290 --> 00:15:52,920 of... 465 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:54,440 I mean, none of his work 466 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:54,980 survived. 467 00:15:55,140 --> 00:15:56,240 And, you know, he's kind of 468 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,200 ashamed that nothing, you know... 469 00:15:58,200 --> 00:15:59,460 Like, what did we do? 470 00:15:59,540 --> 00:16:01,300 We made some plants that didn't... 471 00:16:01,300 --> 00:16:02,550 And, he's like, we've got to 472 00:16:02,550 --> 00:16:03,750 make plants that, like, do 473 00:16:03,750 --> 00:16:04,160 stuff. 474 00:16:04,740 --> 00:16:05,780 We've got to make... 475 00:16:05,780 --> 00:16:06,640 Oh, wait. 476 00:16:06,700 --> 00:16:08,300 We can be even more stereotypical. 477 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,780 So, his part of the lab, unbeknownst 478 00:16:12,780 --> 00:16:15,080 to everyone else in the lab, 479 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,740 was run and funded by the U.S. 480 00:16:17,740 --> 00:16:18,900 military. 481 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:20,580 Of course. 482 00:16:20,700 --> 00:16:21,860 So, they're trying to get... 483 00:16:21,860 --> 00:16:23,200 He was trying to weaponize 484 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:23,800 plants. 485 00:16:24,020 --> 00:16:24,260 Yeah. 486 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:25,720 Now, everybody else was just 487 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:26,710 trying to do, like, good 488 00:16:26,710 --> 00:16:27,240 studies. 489 00:16:27,420 --> 00:16:29,100 Like, trying to gauge the 490 00:16:29,100 --> 00:16:31,080 intelligence of plants. 491 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,080 Or, make healthier plants for 492 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:33,720 eating. 493 00:16:33,860 --> 00:16:34,120 Right. 494 00:16:34,460 --> 00:16:35,760 Or, to, like, you know, 495 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,940 determine, like, hey... 496 00:16:37,940 --> 00:16:39,130 Like, there are some stories 497 00:16:39,130 --> 00:16:40,470 out there that plants actually, 498 00:16:40,470 --> 00:16:41,660 you know, feel things. 499 00:16:41,660 --> 00:16:43,750 And, like, if you yell at them, 500 00:16:43,750 --> 00:16:45,740 they grow better sometimes. 501 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:47,350 And, if you, you know, if you 502 00:16:47,350 --> 00:16:49,040 mistreat them, they don't like 503 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:49,480 it. 504 00:16:49,940 --> 00:16:51,480 And, maybe they have some sort 505 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,300 of pain tolerance thing. 506 00:16:53,420 --> 00:16:54,100 You know, who knows? 507 00:16:54,180 --> 00:16:55,140 There's some studies around 508 00:16:55,140 --> 00:16:55,460 that. 509 00:16:56,060 --> 00:16:56,990 They're probably sketchy, but 510 00:16:56,990 --> 00:16:57,500 still. 511 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,090 So, you have the majority of 512 00:17:00,090 --> 00:17:02,440 the lab doing, you know, 513 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,270 legitimate science and trying 514 00:17:05,270 --> 00:17:07,440 to create hybrid plants that, 515 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,260 you know, maybe look prettier, 516 00:17:09,260 --> 00:17:10,160 smell nicer. 517 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:11,240 Grow faster. 518 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:12,680 Grow faster. 519 00:17:13,020 --> 00:17:14,760 Or, maybe they do try to look 520 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:16,920 into plant intelligence. 521 00:17:17,620 --> 00:17:18,590 And, meanwhile, this shady guy 522 00:17:18,590 --> 00:17:19,930 is off in his own corner just 523 00:17:19,930 --> 00:17:21,240 trying to do whatever. 524 00:17:22,820 --> 00:17:23,910 And, he's about to make a 525 00:17:23,910 --> 00:17:25,450 breakthrough on plants that'll, 526 00:17:25,450 --> 00:17:26,840 you know, like, be able to be, 527 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:28,060 like, planted in the enemy 528 00:17:28,060 --> 00:17:29,640 fields, grow quickly, and then, 529 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,120 like, overwhelm them. 530 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:31,740 Yeah. 531 00:17:32,700 --> 00:17:34,520 So, he goes and he starts 532 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:36,020 working on this. 533 00:17:36,020 --> 00:17:38,020 He starts working on this. 534 00:17:38,020 --> 00:17:39,480 Like, after he escapes from the 535 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:40,790 lab, he goes to his basement 536 00:17:40,790 --> 00:17:42,030 and keeps sending progress 537 00:17:42,030 --> 00:17:43,330 reports to the government or 538 00:17:43,330 --> 00:17:44,020 whatever. 539 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:45,220 And, nobody knows about this 540 00:17:45,220 --> 00:17:45,440 guy. 541 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:46,620 Okay. 542 00:17:47,060 --> 00:17:47,280 Yeah. 543 00:17:47,900 --> 00:17:48,200 All right. 544 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:49,490 Then, why would he be calling 545 00:17:49,490 --> 00:17:50,500 him a whistleblower? 546 00:17:50,780 --> 00:17:51,580 Just, just, no, no, no. 547 00:17:51,580 --> 00:17:52,810 He's not going to be a whistleblower 548 00:17:52,810 --> 00:17:53,120 guy. 549 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:54,780 I got an idea how we'd change 550 00:17:54,780 --> 00:17:55,360 this. 551 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:56,660 So, he doesn't want anybody to 552 00:17:56,660 --> 00:17:57,920 know about the lab or what he's 553 00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:58,400 doing. 554 00:17:58,900 --> 00:18:01,480 So, he's, maybe there's another 555 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,310 scientist that's actually, like, 556 00:18:03,310 --> 00:18:05,200 good scientist that's, like, 557 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,540 hey, I also, like, look, I don't 558 00:18:07,540 --> 00:18:08,750 want to admit that I was 559 00:18:08,750 --> 00:18:10,570 associated with this project 560 00:18:10,570 --> 00:18:12,350 because there were all these 561 00:18:12,350 --> 00:18:13,620 weird stuff. 562 00:18:13,700 --> 00:18:16,010 But, like, there was this guy 563 00:18:16,010 --> 00:18:16,960 at the lab. 564 00:18:17,620 --> 00:18:19,080 We never found him. 565 00:18:19,220 --> 00:18:20,420 We never found his body. 566 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,030 But, he, like, we really think 567 00:18:23,030 --> 00:18:25,840 he was doing some sketchy stuff. 568 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:27,470 So, here's where the twist 569 00:18:27,470 --> 00:18:28,580 happens, okay? 570 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:29,940 So, you have hive mind plant. 571 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:30,480 Yeah. 572 00:18:30,700 --> 00:18:32,310 And, really, hive mind plant 573 00:18:32,310 --> 00:18:33,960 doesn't hurt anybody. 574 00:18:34,860 --> 00:18:37,530 Hive mind plant is just trying 575 00:18:37,530 --> 00:18:40,160 to grow and expand. 576 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:42,370 It hypnotizes people to plant 577 00:18:42,370 --> 00:18:43,120 more of it. 578 00:18:43,420 --> 00:18:45,060 And, you really set it up so 579 00:18:45,060 --> 00:18:47,260 that everybody perceives that 580 00:18:47,260 --> 00:18:49,260 hive mind plant is probably 581 00:18:49,260 --> 00:18:51,140 going to be the evil one. 582 00:18:51,980 --> 00:18:54,140 But, as it turns out, here's 583 00:18:54,140 --> 00:18:56,740 where the fun comes in. 584 00:18:57,660 --> 00:18:59,490 So, meanwhile, evil scientist 585 00:18:59,490 --> 00:19:02,230 guy starts planting plants, you 586 00:19:02,230 --> 00:19:04,820 know, on the edges of town. 587 00:19:05,300 --> 00:19:06,380 Like, maybe, maybe there's a 588 00:19:06,380 --> 00:19:07,280 local prison. 589 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:09,060 And, he plants the plants 590 00:19:09,060 --> 00:19:10,140 outside of the prison. 591 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:11,300 And, they look a little bit 592 00:19:11,300 --> 00:19:12,440 like hive mind plants. 593 00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:13,770 So, you can't, like, so, at 594 00:19:13,770 --> 00:19:15,140 first, you're thinking they are 595 00:19:15,140 --> 00:19:16,200 part of the hive mind. 596 00:19:16,260 --> 00:19:17,330 The only thing is, like, maybe 597 00:19:17,330 --> 00:19:18,640 the hive mind plants are purple. 598 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:20,580 And, these are obviously red. 599 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:22,420 All right? 600 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:23,300 But, they... 601 00:19:23,300 --> 00:19:24,620 Well, no, like, the middle part 602 00:19:24,620 -->

00:19:35,120 --> 00:19:36,630 You can't see them because this 614 00:19:36,630 --> 00:19:37,300 is a podcast. 615 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,000 But, they do be looking pretty. 616 00:19:40,700 -->

The plant that 1079 00:31:12,250 --> 00:31:19,500 saved America. Beware of toads. 1080 00:31:19,500 --> 00:31:25,620 There may be toads. There's a 1081 00:31:25,620 --> 00:31:25,940 cricket 1082 00:31:25,940 --> 00:31:28,750 over there too.

It's 1146 00:33:28,750 --> 00:33:31,910 really not that big of a cost. 1147 00:33:31,910 --> 00:33:33,940 No, I mean, again, this is a 1148 00:33:33,940 --> 00:33:34,300 movie 1149 00:33:34,300 --> 00:33:36,240 you can make using old school 1150 00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,360 movie techniques with a little 1151 00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:41,060 bit of CGI, like well-intentioned, 1152 00:33:41,140 --> 00:33:42,440 well-thought-out. You've got to 1153 00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:43,490 have a good director. The 1154 00:33:43,490 --> 00:33:44,700 director's got to know how to 1155 00:33:44,700 --> 00:33:45,580 use a great 1156 00:33:45,580 --> 00:33:48,840 combination of practical and CG 1157 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,610 together to really be 1158 00:33:51,610 --> 00:33:54,340 intentional about the shots. 1159 00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:56,080 But I think that this could 1160 00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,210 work. And besides, you don't 1161 00:33:58,210 --> 00:34:00,030 even really have to have the 1162 00:34:00,030 --> 00:34:00,740 hive mind 1163 00:34:00,740 --> 00:34:03,370 plant Charlie actually like be 1164 00:34:03,370 --> 00:34:05,890 like speaking like Audrey too 1165 00:34:05,890 --> 00:34:08,160 does.

You get some glycerin 1176 00:34:21,490 --> 00:34:22,940 on it. So it looks like it, you 1177 00:34:22,940 --> 00:34:24,440 know, you do some foam rubber 1178 00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:24,800 stuff. 1179 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:26,120 I mean, you could even just 1180 00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:27,420 have it be a glowing light.
