Jason's always trying to get me to go with him to the cinema to see scary movies with him, but I was like, no black Jason does it.

[00:00:10]

I say no. I say no, Jason, my friend. No, I don't know who that man is going to go with you to the cinema and see a scary movie.

[00:00:20]

I don't pay money to feel worse. That's what it boils down to for me, man. I don't pay money and feel worse. And then that's a bad exchange. And Wangs books.

[00:00:32]

That's a raw deal.

[00:00:33]

I was thinking about it. It's it's such a Western privilege, don't you think, to be able to enjoy something like a scary movie and what a first world western privilege. I mean, how comfortable is your life that you have the time, expendable income and desire to pay money, to feel fear?

[00:00:59]

For fun. You know, this is what it feels like, it's purely not a purely Western privilege, like no one in Syria saw The Babadook, you know, like they don't need it.

[00:01:14]

They're busy. The markets flooded for horror there. I don't know. I guess it's it's a kind of masochism, isn't it?

[00:01:21]

Enjoy scary movies, a sort of masochism, you know, to to derive a sort of perverse pleasure from a pain or masochism. And I understand masochism. I have to say, I do want to understand masochism because. Because I love spicy food.

[00:01:37]

Yeah. Classic masochism that puts me on my fat Chinese lips. But Spicy Wang wants it done. Download 24/7. I guess spicy food is my scary movies, right?

[00:01:48]

If you think about it, spicy food is actually a lot like scary movies. You know, if it's good, you feel alive, excited and addictive, free. So if it's really good, you shoot yourself.
