    One of the Marios, who get sliced in half with a saw at 52:00 was the leader of the labour union which represents and protects the rights and interests of Turkish character actors and extras who were consistently exploited by the movie industry during the 1970s and 80s. In the late 70s/early 80s approximately 150 movies were produced each year in Turkey, most of them using the same cast members. Although appearing in a dozen movies each year, the guys playing the henchmen or baddies in these type of movies were usually paid below the minimum wage, and worked without any health insurance. Some had lasting injuries due to the stunts they tried to perform. The union was established in 1978, and they are still trying to improve safety standards, and achieving higher pay and benefits such as health care and retirement for the actors and extras in Turkish movie/TV industry.

She flips through them in increasing confusion and disbelief until she screams in horror and throws herself out the window. The camera sloooooooooooooowly closes in on the pages she left on the floor, revealing that they are the script.

    Watching this while painting my nails. Doing cuticle clean up with pure acetone while watching the last scenes of the episode made it so much more interesting.

    Every time I watch this episode, I get a little sad. The Love Butcher is actually something of a hidden gem, it would have been fun to see their reactions to it.

      They really should do an episode going back to watch all the movies that didn't work when they tried watching them.

      @@imperialtutor8687 I know he's pretty drunk in this video but at some points, he plays it up and at others, he holds himself back, which he also does alot in other videos.

      Tom Ridgewell also made a very similar one-the twist in his was that the main character completely misjudged what genre he was trying to escape.
