The Platform

Hey, Gravies, thanks so much for joining us this week for another episode of Gray Girls Podcast. As always, it's me your host, Hawthorne, and it's me Amillis. And this week we're doing our first ever minisode Monday. Whoooooo, let's have Hawthorne explain it and what a minisode Monday will entail

is. We're gonna obviously talk about a movie still link it to a murder and no sleep scary story, but we're gonna keep it super brief because these were movies that we feel all of you should watch, especially if they're like newer movies. We don't want to be given away all them spoilers and be like, you should watch it. But we did like this part and this

part and this was cool. Yeah, for sure. The only reason we're a little behind again, besides the whole quarantine situation and everything else going on, I've been trying to work from home, Amaryllis. I started working again, so I'm back to working nine ten hour days, six days a week. So that's cool. Oh, tell them what your new position is.

She went from manager too. Oh. Yes, I used to be a manager and it was cool because I worked for a year and a half doing it, and I come back and they go, guess what you get to be the person who counts people into the door with a clicker and stands there all day long, which mostly all, it's not a bad job. I personally like to be busy in doing something and standing in one spot clicking a

button for nine hours straight is really boring to me. So it's been kind of killing me going back into like the flow, trying to address to this new normal. I hate that sentence me too, but it's true. Has just been like really hard on us mentally and physically, Like my body's not used to getting up and working for nine hours a day anymore. I'm used

to staying in bed and eating ice cream and sleeping. Like the Quarantine fifteen that everyone gained mine was like a Quarantine twenty Like that ship made it so hard. So sorry if our episode for the next little bit or a little late. We're tired, but we're still trying for you guys, because we love you. We do, and we really missed recording as much as we used to back in twenty nineteen before everything started getting crazy. But you know what, it's gonna be, Okay. We hope all of you are safe.

Hope that this mini sde well brighten your day, make your Monday a little less shitty. Just another manic Monday. Do you know that song? Yeah? I love that song. I sing it all the time. Yeah, yeah, that's a bombas song. Let's rewrite it for minisode Monday. I'll do it. It's just another minute sue Monday. Yep, that's it. There we go, no music. I hope you guys know that song.

Everyone's like, what the fuck song? Oh my god? So to start off our first ever Minnisota Monday, we chose the movie The Platform or El Hoyo I think it's what it's called. Yeah, we chose the Platform. It's on Netflix. We wanted to pick movies easily accessible for everyone, especially since we're all home. I probably watched it three times, just because I really wanted to like get it. But I liked the movie. What did you think about it? Without giving anything away, I did like it.

I watched it also about three or four times. Okay. One thing that I hate about the movie hate hate you're laughing it way right now. It's dubbed, but not dubbed right correct, So the people talking the mouths do not match the words being said, which you also do not match the caption. Yes, it's like, so there's three different things getting thrown at me, and it's such a sensory overload to watch it because I'm definitely one of my ears. I need the captains on but I can't. So that

killed me. So I had to watch it a couple times. Plus. They have weird foreign names, and not in any bad way. We're not trying to say anything wrong about having weird names. I mean, our fucking names are Hawthorne and a Marillas. You don't get any weirder name than that, But like go Rang and then his roommate trum Agassi, and then the crazy girls Mihru. I mean the names were hard enough to learn. Yeah, so it was so hard for me to remember, like, oh wait,

so what was his name again? And then instead of having to call him like oh it's the crazy girl, it's you know, the main character. We want to be like, oh his name is this, her name is this? You want to, you know, give respect to them, movie, to the characters, but trying to remember those it was so hard. On that note, I think the acting was really well done. I would say it was better acting though. It was very most movies I've seen

recently I also really liked. So I've been trying to get my husband to do concrete floors in our kitchen and bathroom since we moved into this fucking house. The whole aesthetic of just being in a concrete room, I was like, I love it. It's all minimalist, it's all nice. Oh my god, I love psychopath. It was cute. You are a psychopath. I love their cell. It's so cute. It's so minimalist. I just lived there. There's a bed there. It's great. You know, gotta

pay to be in there when you come out. You got a free degree. Oh my god, you would go in there. I would go in there. Would you go in there? No? Never? For nothing? What I need a degree for. I'm going to pay fifteen dollars an hour to click a button? Okay? They offered you like your dream bookstore that you would own or something. I have to be in there for a year and sometimes I have to wake up down on floor three hundred. No, you can go in there. I think I would get wrapped in like a

dumbass. I would be like Goring, and I would go in their volunteers like a dumb maass. Yes, maybe there are people who haven't watched it yet. Please watch Platform, pause it, now, watch it. Don't put on the captions, don't look at their mouths. Just watch the movie. Enjoy the aesthetic of the concrete room. Just watch and listen. Just watch it without watching them. Just put a thing, a tape over the middle of your screen where the mouths normally are, and for the most part

you should be okay. See, I'm used to the mouths not matching up with the words and everything because I watch a lot of things that are like foreign films and foreign shows on Netflix. See. I think they're done really well, and I'm sure you can get used to it. It's just an overload for me being like unable to hear and read and I can't focus on all three things. I'm gonna read the beautiful synopsis simmerless row, and we're

gonna get it right into it, So here we go. The Platform is a psychological thriller about a man named Goreng who voluntarily enters the pit for six months in order to earn his degree. He wakes up a level forty eight, confused and meets his new roommate named Trimagassi, who has been inside for almost a year on a charge of man slaughter. He tells Goreng everything he

knows about the mysterious platform and the rooms. Then they meet me Haru, a woman who is searching for her child, and goes down the levels of the pit until they're reunited. The two lived together peacefully for a month, Goreng reading his book that he brought and Trimagassy telling him about how he got there because of his self sharpening knife called the Samurai, plus who is weird.

After the month, they wake up on a much lower level, level one seventy one, and things between them get real cutthroat, literally fucking fun Truemagassi. When Truemagassi decides to eat gore Ring to stay alive, since once the platform gets to the lowest levels there isn't any food left, Goring does what he needs to survive, learning the real dark side of the pit until he wakes up on a higher level and tries to beat the system once and

for all. We know. That was like the longest synopsis we've ever given, but it's because we're going right into our favorite parts up to this point, and I know, we don't really explain what the pit is, but neither does the movie. It's just called the pit. It's just a really long tall building that goes underground that has a platform in the middle of it, and it's called the pit, and people get sent down there, and yeah, you'll see the rest for all kinds of reasons. You can go

involuntarily to get something a word to someone. Yeah, probably the criminally insane can get thrown in there because some of the lower level people there was like married couples in there, I think, and it was just kind of like the ones above, Yeah, where are they in there? So we know as much as you guys do from this. So the part we're going to start at is when Goreng gets his new roommate, which and it's a man named Baharat. I don't know if I'm saying it right because I don't even

think they say his name even once. The item his roommate decided to keep with him is a long rope, and his plan was to get as high up as a level as he could so that hopefully the people above him would grab his rope he could climb all the way to level one and hopefully escape or something. I don't really know what his whole plan was, but that was basically the gist of it. So this is my favorite part of the

movie. He talks to the people in level five and there's an unspoken rule in the pit where the people above you don't fucking care, and the people below you they kind of have to listen to you because their food is literally in your hands. When the platform comes down from level one all the way down. All the way down, everyone is just eating everyone else's leftovers. The higher up you are, the better you are, like in life. Yeah, So when they're on level six, he pleads to the man on

level five. He's like, please, God sent me here, can you take my rope and help me ascend? And it's a married couple and he's like, honey, you should we help him up and she's like yes, of course. He throws the rope and they hold it for him to climb. He starts climbing the rope, and right before he's up on their level, you see a white butt and you're like, what what is his ass doing? In the corner of the screen. When he looks up, the man on level five shits on his face. So Okay, was that real?

I don't know that was the realest looking shit. If it's not, he didn't really, I don't think he really pooped on it. Disgusting. How does it look so real? You can make some real looking poop, I think. But it came out of the butt hole so real. Oh my god, two great girls, one cup. People listening. If you guys haven't watched that, please don't watch it. You don't need to watch it. I was gonna say, I'm so jealous of you if you've ever seen it. After he gets pooped on, he falls back on his level,

holding his face. He's so disgusted. He can't believe which has happened. The married couple of level five's laughing hysterically. He's like, fuck you, we're on level five. You're trash. And in that whole thing, he ends up dropping his rope, meaning any other attempt he could have had to get to a higher level is now gone. Goring being at horrible levels of this pit. He has experienced hunger, he's experienced almost getting murdered,

He's experienced kind of love. Still unsure if that sex scene is real or not. I like this part because with everything Goring has been through, and we don't know what the other guy has been through. We kind of get a little bit of backstory on him as they go down the levels. But they both realized they're done with the pit. They're done eating leftover. They're tired. They know that there's people starving to death at the bottom and no one care. They come up with this plan. Yeah, no one gives

a shit. Well one guy did, Wow, well done. That was good. And they come up with this plan where they are going to make plates, little rations, and they're going to feed everyone just the rations, and only after level fifty because they realize all those people have eaten, everyone died ying at the bottom doesn't need to die. If everyone would just eat

what was given to them, they wouldn't have this problem. So they both arm themselves with whatever they can find and they begin they're to scent deeper into

the pit and the people they see down there. Though when they first go down to a level, they'll go down like level fifty one or like let's say, level sixty nine because hat and the people can either be like, oh, thanks so much for the food, or get violent because they see there's still a lot of food on the platform and they're like, no, I'm so fucking hungry, And sometimes Goring and his friend would have to beat them up and then leave the food and be like, here, eat this

before we leave, and they started killing people. Yeah, because if you kept any food, the cell they're in would either get super hot and boil you alive or super cold and freeze you to death. You had to eat whatever you could in the time allotted. So this is actually my favorite part. Directly after yours. It kind of goes in it because you kind of see Goring snap and you see the other guy snap. They're just they're done. I don't care. We're going to try to fix this room, beat

the system. We got this, and they, like I said, start killing people. If someone comes after them, Fuck you you're dead. Bashed you in the head. Sorry, tried to feed you. Beat your being a dick. Sorry. You can see the items everyone decided to bring them. One guy brought like a million dollars. He's just rolling around. Why. One of them brought like a kiddie pool. He's sitting in it with his roommate. Yeah. I really do like this because you see all the

fucking weird people on the lower levels. They get down into the two hundreds, they're like, I didn't think it went down this far. They had all heard that it only went down to level two hundred, and that is not correct. And they keep going farther and farther, and they start noticing, Hey, the platform isn't stopping in a lot of these rooms, and they pause and they're like, shit, it's because no one's alive in those rooms, so why would it stop. So there's just hundreds of dead bodies

in this building that have to get cleaned out every day. So they finally get down to the bottom, bottom last room and it's levels three hundred thirty three, isn't it, which means half of six six means six hundred sixty six people are in this place, which is very symbolic because literally the pit

is hell. And on the bottom last level you see a little child, this sad little like I don't know, less than ten years old, yeah, I don't know the age, somewhere around ten years old child hiding under a bed, and you're like, oh shit, Mihar really did have a kid in here. There's really a kid down here, starving in every month.

She obviously made it down to help keep the kid alive. The mom somehow would make it down with maybe some food hidden in her clothes or something, despite being raped, assaulted, beaten, killed, kept for a few days at a time, because if you go on the platform, you are at the mercy of the people whose level you land up, and you don't know. They could have brought a fucking chainsaw and they just cut you open.

When you get down there, I'll let my lovely Hawthorne explain the ending involving the child, so when they get down to the bottom they can tell the little girl is hungry. They had been protecting this beautifully prepared panicotta. It's even in like little glass thing crystal. Yeah, it's beautiful, and they wanted to keep it pristine and have it on the top of the pile of shredded leftovers and show the people upstairs that even though we're all starving to

death, you know, we managed to keep one food untouched. I don't really know what they thought that would show them. Well, what they were planning was the panicota would be sent back up while everything else was empty, because it means someone didn't want that. Oh that wasn't good enough for even the lowest of people. Wow. Yes, But they decide to give the delicious, beautiful Panicotta to the little girl because she looks hungry, and that's

when they both start succumbing to their injuries. It's a really epic fight their way down to the bottom of the pit, and they get this idea to put her on the platform because once it reaches the bottom, it shoots back up to the top with really high speed, and they put her on the platform and I guess have her escape now have them see a child in the pits, So I think it would be like the people on top don't understand

what's happening inside. Yeah, especially all the people who are like on the levels and they're just being greedy, being greedy, they don't understand that. Oh no, the children are what we need to be caring about. They are the future of society. We're just totally neglect acting them, obviously putting them at the bottom. No one cares about them. They need to see, like, hey, this is what's important, not all of this bullshit. This innocent child. Plus leading up to this point, you weren't even

sure if the child was real or not. They try to flip flop you from like believing her to not believing her. Yeah, they tell you that Miharu was crazy. She didn't come in with a kid. She was a want to be model, and you kind of think she doesn't even look like that type. So it was kind of unbelievable in that aspect. But my least far part of the movie is actually the ending because you know what they do, you guys, They leave it open ended. My least favorite shit.

Yeah, we talked about that, but that's why we thought it'd be a perfect first minisub Monday. So you guys can tell us what you think the ending means, and we're going to share what we think means. What do you think happens to the little girl at the top? Well, like I just said, I think like they said, to the top and they

saw her and they went, oh shit, we've been doing this. We've been literally killing these people for no reason, trying to teach them a lesson, when the real lesson is like invest in children, invest in the future. Nothing's more important than like making sure the world goes on. I'm hoping that she got to the top, and I just wish they kind of would have showed her walking through the kitchen you know, we didn't really talk about it. We didn't talk about it at all. Maybe they ate her,

but they showed the kitchen and it's like a legit kitchen. Every day, all these professional ass chefs are making this huge, beautiful platform full of a lot of food, more main dishes in China and crystal glassware Deepa had to replace every day. Like what if she got up there and instead of like trying to escape, she just kept hiding like she had been at the bottom to stay alive. That's kind of what I think happened. Weird. I

know, I'm worried what one item would you bring with you? Since everyone has allowed one item of their choosing in the pits, it can be anything. Literally, what do you think you would bring with you without knowing information? But then knowing the pit what do you really think you would bring with you? Well, without knowing any information, And I'm just told, Hey, you're going to go and like this building with like a random person for

like a month. Then I don't know this person. I would probably have to bring some kind of weapon just in case, because I am a five foot female. What do you think like a knife? Something bigger than a knife? Probably something like not like a sword, something easy, like a machete. Okay, that's a good one, something sharp like that. But knowing the pit, I think a weapon would also be good. But I would do something like that astronaut food. Yeah, just like a big old

buckets full, like the powdered food because they had a sink. Yeah, they had a sink, so you could just powder. That's food. It's disgusting, but I'll keep you alive for your year. You have to be in there for sure. Yeah, So knowing it, I would do something like that. What about you? What would your first item without knowing be and your second item with knowing be. Dude, I'm so annoying. I'm like going I bring a book everywhere I go. I really think I would

bring like a sketchbook and a pencil, one hundred percent serious. So I'd probably choose something dumb like that and be fucked. Knowing what I know, I agree with you, and I would try to bring some type of like I don't want to say gridanola bar or bombs, but some kind of unperishable food and large quantity that I could possibly feed me in my roommate through the duration if not longer. I don't think there's a limit on what you could bring. That guy did bring money or he got money for going in.

The other guy had a fucking pool. That thing was huge. Some guy has a surfboard, like I'm sure you could be. Like I'm bringing in my like palette of food. What if you brought in like a really nice bed, like I have a really nice bed. What if I wanted to bring my full ask king size beds? They're just gonna keep moving in. Oh what if you brought a gas mask so when they gass you to change levels, like you would be awake, but you didn't know you need it.

I know, I'm just saying, I'm just talking shit. Okay. Another thing in the pit, when they're asking you when you're gonna be admitted or whatever you want to call it, they ask you what your favorite meal is because it might be included in the menu. It's definitely it is your favorite meal. Oh, especially during this quarantine when a lot of people can't

even eat their favorite foods because of their favorite restaurants being temporarily closed. Okay, I really love primary with what sides where it's like that big meaty thing and you just cut off the big yummy, delicious and all like the odd juice comes out and you use it to dip your ship. Oh that was fucking mashed potatoes on the side, garlic mashed potatoes. That sounds really good right now, Its some fucking like grilled asparagus. Yeah, like green beans

or something for sure. So that's what I would want. It's the bigg ass yummy roast beast in that would be gone by level five, yeah, because I'd be on level two eating them. Also, Oh great, I'm part of the problem. See my thinking for the Trail of Food. When I first saw it, I thought that obviously, if everyone only ate what they needed to be fine, But I kind of thought your favorite food was designated for you. That was my first original thought the first time I watched

it. I think it's supposed to be but like Goring got snails, that snails wouldn't have been a whole meal for a whole day. True, you know, true, I know that's not no one wanted it, which I thought was funny. That was funny, like, think of your favorite food. Everyone's like, oh, because my favorite food in the world was pokey. Then you go good because I'm down on level eighty two, when I get my fucking whatever, and what would your food be my food? I

would pick a poke bowl, But the seaweeds. What if they gave you like the really tiny little b at the sushi restaurants when you ask for a poke and they bring you like two pieces of two auntie of seaweed, It's fine. I'd still eat it. You gotta say, like, I want a poke bowl, but in like how you said a big ass. You gotta say I want a poke bowl, but in the bowl that they served the olive garden salads. In olive garden salad also sounds you know, I

freaking love olive garl love old salad. Look I miss Oligarden. When Goring and Triuma GOSSI find themselves on one seventy one and they had to resort to eating human flesh. Do you think you could eat it if you had to, I don't know. I feel like it just I feel okay, yeah, because I've eaten pig feet so good, and I really like the weird,

like slimy part of the flesh perfectly. Yeah, So I figure it'll be like eating that but like raw, So it's like a little grosser but if I could stomach pig feed for like a long time, I'm sure I

could in order to survive. I obviously would not immediately, but like if I was about to, like I can't move and everything's blurry, then I'm like, well, shit, fine, here's a bite that would you be able to I think I would be able to eat it, but I would have tried to eat like the maggots too, instead of eating more of the flesh, like try to eat the bugs that are accumulating. Yeah, but

yeah, I think I could do it. And last question I have to ask him, do you think that Goring and Baharat to die at the end? Yes, let me do How else would they have gotten up? They were so he had a big ass cut in his stomach like he was dead. They were dead. They were dead. Hopefully all the people that they killed would make it the platform come down sooner and hopefully the next day they could just jump on it. Oh my god. No. So that is

our very quick overlook of platform. We did not discuss everything. We want you to watch it. We want you to comment on Instagram and Twitter what you think that ending means, what would you bring with you and what is your favorite dish of all time. Oh and if you make your favorite dish, send us pictures. Why do you write the movie out of five? What would I rate it out of five? Probably a three and a half to a four, maybe a three point eight. It's I told you the

voice thing. Just really it's very like political, which I'm normally not super into, but it's like scary in the sense of like, oh shit, that's happening. Because it's a really good movie to watch at least once, maybe twice if you like to discuss it, and I think it is something

everyone should watch, especially now, for sure, especially now. We originally want to to record this episode when Quarantine first started and people were you hoarding all the toilet paper and hoarding all the food, because it reminded us of this movie, everyone hoarding for themselves as the platform comes down, without even thinking about the welfare of others. That being said, I would say I'd write the movie a solid three only because I know I love how it looked.

I don't really like movies where they stay in like the same place the whole time. Even when they were at the bottom of the pit, it was just pitch dark, so they couldn't even see what was down there, and it was huge. It looked way bigger than the normal cell and there was only one bed, so it was kind of like they knew she was down there. I wish they would show the ending. Don't like that at

all, but I like it so we can talk about it. I do recommend it and definitely watch it, and I let us how much you guys think, and we're back joining us now? Is that really is going to share her story? Thanks Oloren. Well my store this week was posted on This Sleep My Favorite place in the World by someone named Illusionistic one three three seven, and it's called the Reason I Quit being a Cannibal. There wasn't much I could do about it, not until now. Being a cannibal was

a natural instinct as I grew up simple as that. But this incident, which was life changing, did the difference. However, before I on set, I would answer the frequent questions did I get to kill the meat? No? Instead I bought it. Did you feel good to eat it? Duh? I was a cannibal, of course. How did I quit it? Well, here's my story. I woke up feeling the hunger ripping the innards. As for that, I realized that I needed another charge of meat. Hence, I did the usual routine, and after a while, I

opened the laptop with both tour Browser and VPNs in. I ran the browser and logged in the website that I used to purchase the meat. The protocol is or was simple. I purchased the meat, the cellar drops it in a specific address, I take it, and that's it. This time the cellar wasn't there and there was a replacement. It was as dubious as it sounded, since there wasn't a reason for the original cellar to vanish out of nothing. But with hunger knocking in and out, I was obliged to do

it, and so I bought the meat and had the address. I drove the car to there. It was a warehouse. I entered it. It was cold as the December's wind. The metal walls were rust and the dust made it harder to breathe or see. Nevertheless, the package was there, so I picked it up and drove it back home. The package contained the brain, distorted head, and ribs. I brought the brain, put it

in a pan and let it on the stove. I cooked the head with the margarine and the ribs, however, were put to roast and what was left made quite a nice barbecue. It was so nice the meal. The taste was incredible, and I believed the human meat is the purest meat of all kinds. As a matter of fact, it doesn't contain the animals smell. It is delicious, just like Master Chef's recommendations. I finished the meal, took a shower, and as it got late, I slept. I

woke up the next morning with over ten vocal messages left hell. I thought I was busted at that time, but that wasn't the case. It was a call from the cops. I was asked to come over for something serious. At the time I arrived at the police station, the officers looked at me with a glance of bad news. I expected the worst. Then the detective came in. Mister Arderson, there was a crime in the last twenty

four hours and we tried to reach you, but we couldn't. However, I'm afraid to tell you that we found a distorted dead corpse near a lake two miles from here. He said, I what do I have to do with this? I stuttered as my nerves grew harder. Mister arterson. We had a match with the corpse's fingerprint. I'm sorry, mister Arderson, your sister Anne was brutally murdered and left there, and trust me, we're going to find whoever did this, but for now we believe it's a revenge related

crime. And how could that even happen? She was the kindest, I replied, as I couldn't breathe right, and I started to wine. It didn't make sense to me, but I followed them to the corpse and cried for hours where nothing seemed to be an option to do. I cried. We had a funeral for her, and I was in a deep sorrow about the whole thing. A week later, I logged into the website I used to purchase the meat from Strange. I had a message that was unread.

You asked for the best package, and we delivered that the meat was a relative's meat, and what tastes better than that? Right? It said. At the moment I gathered pieces and I realized, I ate Anne, I ate the closest relative I have. I ate my own sister. Oh my god, as I realized I was noting but dead inside, the fact that my sister was dead made me depressed and mad, and now with the fact that I was the one who ate her, I don't even want to live.

However, questions left unanswered. How did the seller know? How did he know who I was, who she was? What did I ever do to him? What did I do wrong? And the most important question is how am I going to find him? And that's the end of the story. Oh my god, what a cliffhanger, but in a good way. See, I'd watch that movie, right, So I picked this one because it's a story of how he ate He would meet a lot and then he

stopped because something horrible. But in platform he had to start eating human meat, you know, because of something horrible. He didn't want to, but it's something you get driven to sometimes you just get like that, craving for like a steak. But like we were saying, would you be able to eat human meat? Would it change you? Do you think it changed Goring forever? Do you think Truma Gossy? I mean him and his roommate eight, that person that fell down, remember they talked about that. No,

he killed his roommate and ate him. Do you think that changed him forever? I just thought he was really interesting and he was cannibal related. Yeah, that's a really good story. So Hawthorne, what's your murder this week? Concidentally, our stories go together, and I want the Gravees to know we don't plan this at all. We actually try to like surprise each other. So when they do fit together so well, I love it. It's pretty cool. The murder I'll be discussing this week is the murder of Kevin

Bacon. Kevin Bacon was a twenty five year old hairdresser and makeup artist. He had two cats named Smokey and Fuzzy. He was loved by his friends and family. On Christmas Eve twenty nineteen, at five pm, Kevin told his roommate Michelle Myers that he was meeting up with the dude he met on grinder. At six to twelve pm, he texted her saying that he was going to be out for a while and wasn't sure when he'd be back,

but he told her that he was having fun. The next day, Christmas Day twenty nineteen, Kevin was supposed to meet his family at nine am, but he never showed up. His dad, Carl Bacon, went to the police and reported him missing. Eventually, Kevin's car was found in a parking lot. Inside the vehicle, they found Kevin's phone and wallet. This is weird, especially for a twenty five year old. In this day and age, no one goes anywhere without their phone and wallet. Oh yeah, no,

dude, I freak out. But maybe Kevin was leaving behind a clue. On Friday, December twenty seventh, search parties were formed and unfortunately, Kevin wasn't found, but what police did find would crack the case wide open. On Kevin's phone, they found messages between him and a man named Mark Latunski, so they went to his house to question him. The next day, December twenty eighth, Mark Lutunsky opened the door and allowed police to enter

and search his home. Police couldn't prepare them as for what they would find in the basement. Inside the basement, they found a hidden room. Inside that room, they found Kevin Bacon's deceased corpse, naked, bloody, and hanging from the rafters. The police arrested Latunsky and he immediately admitted to stabbing Kevin twice in the back of the neck, tying him up with rope, hanging him upside down by his ankles, and slitting his throat. Oh Lucie

admitted it. I know, I hate when they don't. He then castrated Kevin, cooked his testicles, and ate them. Latunsky had similar trysts with other men prior to meeting Kevin. One of his previous victims was a man from New York. On October tenth, twenty nineteen, he woke up in Latunsky's basement. He was tied up and he thinks he was drugged. Nearby, he saw a butcher knife, so he grabbed it and used it to

cut the leather strap connected to his ankle. Once he was free, he escaped from the house and called nine one one, but he didn't want to report anything, which is totally fine. I know it's hard to report any crime. His second victim was a similar incident as well. This victim was a twenty nine year old man. He had met Latunsky at a bus station. Latynski was hitting on him, so they grabbed a drink together. The next thing he knew, he woke up in a basement, chained and wearing

a leather kilt. He too was able to get free, but didn't report anything. On January eighth of this year, Mark Latynsky had a competency exam and was found to be mentally incompetent to stand trial. That's all I know for now on this murder case, as it is still ongoing, but I'll keep y'all updated, but as of now it is delayed. I linked this murder to the movie The Platform because in the film, goreng was tied up by Trumagossi and had pieces of him eaten, and at one point Trimagossi even

said he wouldn't eat his genitals until later. But in this case, when Mark Latynsky tied up Kevin, the only pieces of his flesh that he ate were his genitals. My sources for this case we're Washingtonpost dot com, Newsweek dot com, and USA Today, and that's my case. Disgusting. I think it's crazy that we both chose cannibalism out of all the themes in this movie. To choose cannibalism the funnest, very interesting. I wonder what that

says about us On another level, I'm hungry all the time. Anyway, that's our episode.
