Transcript of Phil Wang: A Joke about Scary Movies

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.

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.

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.

That's a raw deal.

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?

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.

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?

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.

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?

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.
