00:00Where are you going to?
00:02That's one decision you won't have to make.
00:05Just give me the keys.
00:30No!
00:40Evelyn!
00:42Evelyn, if you go away, I won't come after you.
00:45I won't come!
00:53Evelyn?
00:56I won't come after you.
01:00I won't come after you.
01:16Will he follow us?
01:17As soon as he can start the truck.
01:20What if he catches us?
01:22I mean, Harold can be awfully brutal when he thinks he's been wronged.
01:25People who believe in wrong and a right can be.
01:30What do you believe in, Martin?
01:33Nothing, Eve.
01:35I'm too civilized.
01:42Are you cold?
01:45A little.
02:01How much longer?
02:02At this rate, an hour.
02:04Have you ever handled a boat before?
02:06I mean, how are we...
02:07All we can do is follow the islands until we hit what I hope will be the Florida Keys.
02:13From there, we can go right up the coast.
02:28What?
02:28Does it hurt?
02:29Sort of.
02:29It feels like something rolling around in the back of my eye.
02:39Martin!
02:46You all right, Eve?
02:48Yes, you?
02:49Yeah.
02:50That looked like it was a body.
03:01Ev, this wheel's bent sideways.
03:05We're gonna have to walk.
03:11Can we make it in time?
03:14Well, the harbor's on the other side of this forest.
03:17We could cut our time in half.
03:22Ev, we better cut through here.
03:50Ev, wait here.
03:51No.
03:51I'm gonna check and see if it's all right.
03:53Take me with you, Martin.
03:54I don't want to be alone.
03:55Come on, Ev, wait here.
03:56I'll, uh, meet you at the church, okay?
04:01Don't.
04:02Don't.
04:03Martin.
04:05What if we were to have a child?
04:07I mean, wouldn't it be nice if we were to have a child?
04:10Whatever for?
04:13What for?
04:15Ev, look, it's all over but the shouting as far as the human race goes.
04:20And there's no more reason for little Evelyn's and little Martin's running on those ice blocks than little Gern's.
04:27All that's left for us is to live without pain.
04:32I'll be right back.
04:44Oh.
04:48Oh.
04:50Oh.
04:55Oh.
05:03Oh, Oh.
05:06Oh, Oh.
05:14You're not taking my boat.
05:19You forget.
05:21It's only one-third your boat.
05:25Where's Evelyn?
05:26She doesn't want to see you.
05:28She's my wife. Where is she?
05:30You never learn, do you, Harold?
05:33Your boat.
05:35Your money.
05:35Your wife. Your world.
05:38Nothing belongs to you, Harold. Nothing.
05:41Where is she, Martin?
05:43No.
05:49Leave me alone!
06:05No.
06:07No.
06:17No.
06:18No.
06:19No.
06:19No.
06:21No.
06:22No.
06:23No.
06:24No.
06:24No.
06:24No.
06:27No.
06:30No.
06:33No.
08:33I see Martin.
09:55I can't see you.
09:56I'm here.
10:07Come down from that altar.
10:13What altar, Harold?
10:15Come down from there.
10:18I don't see any church.
10:20What's the matter, Harold?
10:22Are you afraid that the biggest banker of all wouldn't approve?
10:26There are no more bankers?
10:29There are no more bankers, no more churches and no more God.
10:32No more pencils, no more books, no more teachers, dirty looks.
10:38It's pretty silly stick around and look after you.
10:44I mean, Harold, you can take care of things all by yourself.
10:51You can run the world.
10:53You can run the world all by yourself, can't you, Harold?
10:58And?
10:59I'm here.
11:08What can I do?
11:09What can I do, Martin?
11:15What can I do, Martin?
11:37I killed him.
11:43Will we never learn?
11:47He didn't think so.
11:55Let's go home.
12:00Where is that?
12:14Help me find us.
12:49The climax of this film was recorded in El Castillo San Felipe, in San Juan, which we
12:55call El Morro.
12:57This fortress was supposedly built 400 years ago to protect Puerto Rico from pirates and
13:04foreign invaders.
13:05I was recently there, hosting another episode, and I asked the people around me if they knew
13:11who Roger Corman was.
13:13Hello, do you know who Roger Corman is?
13:16No, I do not.
13:18No idea.
13:19No one had heard of him, or this film, and they didn't understand what a horror host was
13:24either, but their classic confusion is one of the things that I love about my culture.
13:29We always have something to discover.
13:33Like Harold and Eve finding a new home, we're always finding new niches, films, books, or
13:39bands to obsess over.
13:41Now, if you'll excuse me, I still have 20 more El Santo films I haven't researched yet.
13:50Well, Flashies, here we are at the end of the world's messiest breakup.
13:54And nobody's handling it well, especially me.
13:58Now, Martin's packing up.
14:00Harold is lurking around like a bad thought.
14:02Keys are getting stolen.
14:03Cars are getting taken.
14:05Flashies are chasing each other all over Puerto Rico like the extinction event has turned
14:10into a discount NASCAR race.
14:12Hey, Skelly.
14:13A skelly race is down to three, and they still pay time for a scarcity battle.
14:17Yes, Skellycat.
14:19It is astounding.
14:20Evelyn and Harold head off.
14:21Martin gives chase.
14:23Harold hot wires a vehicle.
14:25There's a wreck.
14:26More running.
14:26More shouting.
14:27More harbor chaos.
14:29Well, at this point, the remaining fleshy population is spending its final days doing cardio
14:33and making catastrophic relationship choices.
14:36No, regular fleshy, but thank you, Skelly.
14:39Fair point, Skellycat.
14:40Fair point.
14:42Anyway.
14:42Then we get all this frantic scrambling through old San Juan, the harbor, the church, and the
14:49fort, which is fun because it gives the movie a little extra flavor.
14:52You've got the apocalypse love triangle nonsense and a travelogue vibe all crammed together in
14:58one sweaty little doomed tourist package.
15:02Educational end of the world entertainment, Scotty.
15:04Exactly, Skellycat.
15:06And somehow, through all this running, wrecking, swimming, and fighting, these men keep drying
15:11in record time.
15:12Now, I don't know what miracle Caribbean sunshine they've got, but I would love a bottle of it
15:17for my human cemetery appearances.
15:20Now it's 80% of your friends, Skelly.
15:22But really, what we're watching now is the total collapse of whatever civility was left.
15:27Harold and Martin keep fighting and chasing and fighting again until Harold finally kills
15:32Martin, which, I have to say, is a bold move when you're only one of three fleshies left alive.
15:39And in that Caribbean sun, Martin will shrivel up like a people jerky, and I hate chewy fleshies!
15:44I-I-I mean, what a waste of fleshy!
15:47I-I mean, food!
15:48I-I mean, parquet!
15:51Harold may have destroyed one third of the fleshy population, but Sally is taking this
15:56personally for entirely separate, spacious, freezer-related reasons.
16:00She's down to the backup stash behind the backup stash.
16:03Yeah!
16:04And when Sally reaches the final hidden container, even Skelly Cat starts looking nervous!
16:09Not it!
16:09Not it!
16:12Ehehehehehehehe!
16:13Stop that!
16:15I-I'm handling this with dignity, restraint, and the-and only a very alarming amount of internal
16:21screaming!
16:22And there's no nibble left on Skelly Cat anyway!
16:26I-I don't-I don't think...
16:28Hey!
16:29Come on, Tommy!
16:29I'm still so gentle!
16:31Yeah!
16:32No!
16:32Anyway, and poor Evelyn is left standing in the middle of all this male nonsense, having
16:38to absorb the fallout from two men who have turned the end of civilization into a grudge
16:44match.
16:44Harold finally stumbles into regret, and starts sounding like he's realized way too late that
16:51maybe, maybe, domination, jealousy, and murder were not the building blocks of a better future.
16:58No!
16:59If I go, let's eat a later again, shall we?
17:01Yes, Skelly Cat!
17:02Very late!
17:03Anyway, like tombstone late.
17:05And then the movie leaves us with this weird, uneasy peace between Harold and Evelyn.
17:10It's not romantic.
17:12Not really.
17:13It's tired.
17:14It's damaged.
17:15It's two survivors standing in the wreckage trying to figure out what home even means after
17:20everything has fallen apart.
17:22It's bleak, weird, and kind of fascinating, which is honestly why this movie works for
17:28me.
17:28Beneath all the low-budget doom and tropical hair magic, it's really about possession, freedom,
17:34ego, and what happens when the old rules don't make sense anymore.
17:39Also, I hope Meleville survived.
17:41I did see her last transmission, so fingers crossed!
17:45If anybody could out-stare the apocalypse in Puerto Rico, it's my pirate pal.
17:51I'm choosing to believe she's out there somewhere, fabulous, armed, and better supplied than I am!
17:58Hey, Skelly!
17:59Everyone's better from here than you!
18:01Alright, fleshies!
18:02So that was the last woman on Earth.
18:04A moody little apocalypse picture where the air goes bad, the romance goes worse, and the
18:10surviving humans immediately prove why the planet may have needed a reset.
18:15Oh!
18:16And speaking of fleshy reset, let's go to our takeaway lessons.
18:24When civilization collapses, maybe stop worrying about table manners and start worrying about
18:30whether anybody actually likes you.
18:32The old rules are dead, the world is dead, and if your personality still stinks after the
18:37apocalypse, that's on you, Harold!
18:40When the human race is down to three, maybe try respecting kindness and less murder stuff.
18:46If the hurt thins, the ego should shrink too.
18:49Oh, and don't forget to like, subscribe, and rattle those coffin lid notifications so you
18:55never miss another lesson from Sally the Zombie Cheerleader's School of Horror.
19:00Until next time, keep your oxygen handy, your love triangles short, your yachts fueled, and
19:06your last emergency stash exactly where nobody else can find it!
19:10Right, Skelly Cat?
19:12Anyway, as always, stay fresh, fleshies!
19:15Bye!
19:17I need to put these somewhere.
19:19This is all I have left!
19:20What do I do?
