The Worlds End | Canadian First Time Watching | Movie Reaction | Movie Review & Commentary

[@FreyaofCerberus]

"It's all i've got" makes me cry every time i watch it. As someone who recently turned 30 and whose friends are all wildly more successful than them Gary's character hits really hard. I'm nowhere near as terrible a person as him but the pain of loss of potential is something i keenly feel. Hot Fuzz is my favourite Cornetto movie but this is the only one that makes me cry. Thanks for watching it. Also i'm sure someone else has said it but Gary was hospitalized for attempting suicide, that was where he was at the beginning of the movie. He had decided to try again and wanted to relive his best memory with his friends before he did it. Which makes the entire movie even sadder.

[@Wraiven22]

You’re not alone! I’m 28 and in the same kind of place. I finally just finished graduate school so I’m hoping to catch up but all of my friends already have houses, marriages, kids, etc. We’re all going at the pace we’re meant to, life isn’t a race! We’ve got this!

Its no sort of life to have.

King was about to kill himself. This time for good. The pubcrawl was the last goodbye to his friends. King's life was literally saved by the end of the world. This is the smartest of the entire series by far.

Some easter eggs found in the movie: The First Post: Where they started the pub crawl The Old Familiar: Similar looking pub to the first one and where they met O-Man's sister (an old familiar, since Gary, Andrew and her have history). The Famous Cock: Gary was barred and cock is slang for a jerk/asshole. The Crossed Hands: Where they met the robots and when they left the pub they crossed hands The Good Companions: They entered acting like they don't know about the robots to not arouse suspicion (The sign of the pub is of a theatre mask) The Trusty Servant: Where they met the Reverend Green who is now a crony of the robots The Two Headed Dogs: Where they met the twins The Mermaid: Where they met the "Marmalade Sandwich" who are acting as the siren to lure them. The Beehive: Where they fought in the past and in the present. A place crawling with robots and where Mr Shepard told them about the robots and their hive mind The Kings Head: They went in after Gary banged his head to the wall to show that he isn't a blank The Hole in the Wall: The beast ran through the pub creating an actual hole in the wall The World's End: Where the world ended. The names: Gary "King": The leader of the group, Andy "Knight" ley: Gary's trusted best friend and guardian, Steven "Prince": Gary's rival and 2nd to Gary for Sam, Oliver "Chamberlain": Chamberlain are household managers and he sells houses, Peter "Page": a page is a boy in training, Gary said that Peter is someone who the group always look after.

[@jessharvell1022]

wright has said that this part of the trilogy is one big metaphor for that feeling of when you go back to your childhood/teenage hometown as an adult and everything feels the same but also slightly...off because the town and you have changed in big and small ways since you lived there. gary is so desperate to hold onto his cherished rose-colored memories of that town, something just about everyone feels at one time or another even if they hated growing up, that he's become completely maladapted for adult life. it's inflated nostalgia taken to the (almost) terminal point. (one way or another, by drinking or his own hand, gary was destined to die early and frustrated before the night the world ended.) to me the hometown stuff honestly makes it the most relatable of the series, even if there are bigger laughs in the other two.

[@jessharvell1022]

or to put it more succinctly: you really can't go home again.

[@JeffKelly03]

@@jessharvell1022 On top of that, they wrote it when Pegg was in recovery from his alcoholism so it was deeply meaningful and cathartic to him, and super personal. He's talked in interviews about how he got to the point where he'd delay going home to see wife and kid to get another drink or two at the airport bar, and that's when he knew he had to change, because he was at the low point of his life and addiction.

[@jessharvell1022]

@@JeffKelly03 yeah as a recovering alcoholic myself i have to say that despite gary seemingly like a broad caricature it's actually one of the more realistic portraits of being an oblivious drunk who's constantly "just about to get my life together for good this time" for 10/20/30 years.

Super underrated in the trilogy, this one has the most emotional depth of the 3, I took a few rewatches and growing older to come to understand it but I think this might be my favorite of the trilogy. Especially after you realise the whole thing was one big send-off for Gary, him wanting to tie up loose ends

[@robertwareham8466]

Watch to the end, that was f-ing hilarious! So glad you liked this one, I was a bit worried given how many seem to not like it (or not like it so much). I think this one is actually the strongest of the three in terms of character work, and also actually has some of the funniest moments. "To err is human so... err..." *shrugs*

[@latech7671]

There is a lot of deeper meaning behind all three cornetto-movies. Most of the meaning actually comes from personal experiences of Wright, Pegg and Frost. I know that the first one was because Pegg and Frost were stuck in this loop where every day seemed so similar and Wright wanted to get them out of it (he was basically the Girlfriend). The second one I have forgotten right now but I know that one underlying reason was that they wanted to make a Coop-Movie that showed the (british) Coop-Job as amazing during a time where the cinema was bombarded by Gangster-Movies and one reason was literally because Edgar Wright wanted to have a big shootout in his hometown (Newton Haven, the set, is the town he grew up in). I don't know all the details about the bigger story behind The Worlds End (it is probably the one I know the least about) but I do believe the main reason why it happened like this is because Pegg had a massive Alcohol-Addiction Problem during his career which almost destroyed his career and life and I think this was his way to cope with that story and relay to others how dangerous stuff like this is.

[@CybrSlydr]

I love when a movie just commits to an insane ending, like Blazing Saddles. Definitely read up on the easter eggs for this movie - it's far, far darker than it appears even on the surface.

[@inarar5334]

I'll also recommend Paul, it's got the same kinda feel since Pegg and Frost were involved creatively, just not the same as Wrights signature style. It's also a love letter to science fiction movies with a crap ton of Easter eggs and a really loaded cast.

The wonderful thing about the Cornetto trilogy is that the characters are so relatable, everyone knows a Gary King, a Nick Angel or Shaun, you can understand the mentality of these characters, i had an Ed from Shaun of the Dead in my life back in the 90's, a guy who would stay in my house and freeload off me everyday and never leave.

The town in the movie is fictional. Most of it was filmed in Letchworth G.C. (my home town) and some in Welwyn G.C., about 10 miles away, and other scenes in the local area. 'The World's End' pub is just a 10 min walk from my house, real name 'The Wilbury.' One of the pub's exteriors is actually the outside of our cinema and another exterior is the train station, with temporary sign changes.

[@AnonEyeMouse]

@@Billinois78 Normally, especially in villages, pubs are also residences. As the sole entertainment and social venues thy will tend to have a mix of a dozen or so resident drinkers and everyone else does this kind of crawl around their favourites. 25 or 30 people a night are enough to keep the lights on, and you get visitors over the weekends from the nearby cities and towns as people from there try to avoid the weekend crush in the pubs and clubs. In a village with two or three thousand residents, 10 or 12 pubs should be able to break even.

I've always loved how their names show the hierarchy of the friendship group. How Andy follows Gary to the end just like any true knight would follow their king to the end.

I mean I wouldn't count it as a part of the trilogy. Yes it has Frost and Pegg in, and written by Pegg, but not being directed by Edgar makes a massive difference. Good movie tho, but very different to the trilogy.

[@dalbhuie_youtubeaddedanumber]

So glad that unlike most reactors you did all three films. I hope you don't mind me recommending one you won't ever have heard of. IT's an iconic British film and very important in movie history, as well as being a great laugh. Ealing Studios, Kind Hearts and Coronets. The first really dark comedy, it stars Dennis Price, Valerie Hobson, Joan Greenwood with the great Alec Guinness who is playing no less than 8 different roles. The American censors were so outraged by the film that they insisted on half of Greenwoods lines being cut and the ending of the movie being changed for the American release. The original British version is a must watch for a film buff and yet no one seems to have done a reaction to it. In June 2019, a new 4k restoration scanned from the 35 mm nitrate original negative was released by Studiocanal in UK cinemas, along with DVD and Blu-Ray versions. So it is out there to watch and react to....please, please, consider doing so..

That movie was filmed in my home town of letchworth garden city and in Welwyn garden city which is about 20 mins down the rd both built by the same guy.

[@ChocolatierRob]

Appropriate that you've recently watched A Few Good Men. Think back to the scene where Markinson gets into his full dress uniform before blowing his brains out, George called it the second he saw the uniform on the bed. This is basically what Gary King was doing in the movie - he shaves, gets into his sisters of mercy 'dress uniform' and arranges one final hurrah, at the end he was planning to kill himself - ending it on a high. This movie is (amongst other things obviously) a checklist of signs to watch out for in a potentially suicidal friend.

I love the Cornetto Trilogy, it shows that Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg are the masters of writing comedic reincorporation. Every plot beat and gag in these films are set-up-and-pay off. Like how nearly every second of an Alejandro Jodorowsky film is full of visual symbolism, every moment in these three movies is a Chekhov’s Gun, and I love it.

[@Xenotric]

So many storylines going on at once between the simple "go to 12 pubs and have a pint in each" to the "Robot replacement" stuff and all the backstory of the friends, the revelation of Garys suicidal tendency with foreshadowing that this was his last night etc. It maybe gets a bit TOO much compared to the other two but I still love it! Also Simone having a cornetto at the end while George just casually turns into a cat >

[@MandoWookie]

It definitely has the darkest and deepest subtext of all the trilogy.

[@SeanHendy]

The pub crawl of all pub crawls, I give you, 'The Circle Line Challenge'. The Circle line is an underground route around London, with 27 stops, the challenge is to get off at each stop in turn and have a half pint or a shot, within 12 hours, the end is the stop you started at, with the 28th drink. Definitely not for the feint of heart. It is inevitable that various members of the group tap out and will peel away at various times, to head off back to where they are staying, before carnage ensues and their body gives up lol.

[@jamestreanor4361]

The TV show from AMC "Into The Badlands" was really good, and then Nick Frost was introduced in the second season and made it awesome. He is amazing in that show. His fighting scenes are crazy to watch.

[@charleslee8313]

2:13 -- that's "Mary" (from Shaun Of The Dead) on the left of the screen. At the end of Gary's flashback, you see when the Blanks land. Just like Shaun Of The Dead, the plot is spelled out, but in a rather subtle way. It's spelled out in the form of the pub names, as well as Gary's story that he told in group therapy. Not gonna lie -- "Blue Bloods" was a good name for those things.

[@Deadbloke-dk6zc]

This movie was filmed in my home town (Letchworth Garden City) along with Welwyn Garden City just down the road. Parts of them both are still just as picturesque as it looks in the movies. I've drunk in a bunch of the pubs featured in the film, including the World's End ("The Wilbury" these days). Interestingly Letchworth was founded as a dry town as part of the Temperance Movement in the early 1900s. There wasn't a single pub in the town until the late '60s. If you're in Letchworth I can recommend the Arena Tavern (the King's Head in the movie)...

[@LokRevenant]

George, I can’t link to the article here, but there’s an article called 25 More Pints: Revisiting The World’s End that explores the deeper meaning that you were looking for. A couple are: In a normal movie about going home, the whole premise is that the town is the same, but the character is different. In this movie, every character is basically who they were in high school. They’re the same, but the town has changed. 2. Instead of Gary changing to become more mature and socially acceptable, he forces society to become like him. 3. Gary is a King. When the Network talks to Gary at The World’s End, at first it calls him “Gary King, of the Humans.” But at the end of the conversation, the Network calls him “Gary, King of the Humans.” Like “Arthur, King of the Britons” in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Gary literally is the King of the Humans. And there is definitely a reading of this movie through the lens of the Twelve Steps.

I may have recommended this before, I can't remember, but you two would LOVE Spaced. It's a series from the early 2000s. It's directed by Edger Wright and stars Pegg and Frost. Honestly, it's hilarious.

[@chriscramer7110]

The five main characters are in reference to the Renaissance due to last names: King, Knightly, Page, etc. Also all the bars names tell you what to expect: first post is first bar, old familiar is the exact copy of the first bar, famous cock is where Gary is recognized, the mermaid has "sirens", the beehive is a hive with a "queen", hole in the wall gets a hole in its wall, etc

[@standasebek5033]

That hand through the glass is such a simple gag and yet so funny.

[@PurushaDesa]

That Daria/Pulp Fiction T-shirt is outstanding.

[@markunderwood912]

You both come across as realy down to earth genuine people

[@wsn0009]

Simon Pegg & Nick Frost are a great duo. All 3 movies are so fun!

[@Fedorchik1536]

I love that Gary King was cured from his addiction by just living his dream in the end.

[@jimtatro6550]

This is the most underrated of the trilogy but I think it’s hilarious. “What the fuck does WTF mean???!”🤣

[@DonDuracell]

George, the pub at 9:41 that looks like the same location is called "The Old Familiar" so it might be the case that the first and second pub look the same on purpose.

[@DementedDistraction]

That glance to the camera at 20:54...😂

[@perryg6017]

Random anecdote. This film was shot in Welwyn and Letchworth Garden City in England, the first two garden cities in the world. I live nearby Welwyn and remember the hype seeing the film crews for this. Guess it was super convenient for them to film there as Elstree Studios (original star wars, Indiana Jones etc) is a short drive away.

[@sweepist]

The Ice Cream clip at the end ... made my day ! Brilliant !

[@KT-iy9vc]

Love this movie so much. All three, but this seems like one of those movies that I just happened to be at the theater in just the right mood and enjoyed it so much.

[@blastingweevil2968]

i have done a few pub crawls in my younger days so many great memorys lol.

[@foreverkent2225]

I read online that their original idea was that the movie is supposed to depict how when you go back to your home town after a lot of years you feel like everything has changed, people don’t know anymore, and you’re suddenly strangers in the place that used to be home.

[@jacobalbores]

Your post-credit Cornetto scene is brilliant!

[@malcolmrowe9003]

Agreed!

[@markunderwood912]

Must say simone as the cutest face smile looks to me as the sweetest kindest soul heart🥰🥰🥰

[@professoryaffle]

I’m sure that somebody will have said it in these comments, but just in case they haven’t, I remember reading somewhere that the inspiration for The World’s End pub is based on The World’s End from the Sandman graphic novels.

[@AlexandruFlorea1990]

You should react to Paul also a great movie with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost! You will love that movie 👍

[@macronencer]

"My brake light is broken." "Well, don't use the brakes." Haha! Gets me every time, that line!

[@thefandomman1783]

Guys its edgar wright every frame he films has meaning, the names of the pubs foreshaddow what is going to appen in them, 12 pubs 12 steps, addiction my faviroute and the most meaningful of the trillogy

[@mrgclough]

In the opening scenes, in the group therapy, the girl next to Simon is Mary the cashier and the "drunk" zombie in the back yard in Shaun of the Dead, Nicola Cunningham.

[@phousefilms]

"I don't believe this. A man of your legendary prowess drinking FFFUCCKKINNNNGGG...RRRAAAIIIINNN....?" "Basically, no one else knows what to do, so FUCK it!"(smashes through glass door) "AAAHHHHH!!!! I FUCKIN' HATE THIS TOWN!" "I'm human...but I don't know for how long..." "BASSSSIILLLLL!!!" "SHH!" XD "There's nothing "ooh ducky" about being teetotal,about walking into a pub after a rugby match and ordering a tap water at a bar packed full of big ugly bastards wearing warpaint.That, my friend, takes confidence, yeah? I'm talking balls."-Andy. In the end of the film, Gary does exactly that.

[@dernwine]

My uni had a pub crawl, you where supposed to have a drink in each of the 14 pubs on campus and then swim across the lake. For some reason they banned it, not sure why, and the pubs stagger their opening times.

[@drake9634]

After 14 beers a swim sounds like a bad idea

[@andrewforbes1433]

Did you notice Shaun of the Dead's "drunk" Mary in the meeting at the beginning?

[@Xoferif]

"Paul" (2011) is an absolutely superb Pegg/Frost film!

[@NZBigfoot]

Definitely, damn 2011... forgot it was that old, the CGI is still great.
