There are few things as captivating as

0:05

unraveling a family mystery, especially

0:07

one with as many twists as June's journey.

0:09

And you know we love a good twist. In

0:11

June's Journey, you play as June Parker

0:13

and investigate beautifully detailed scenes

0:15

set in the decadent twenties to solve

0:17

her sister's murder. Whether this is

0:19

your first case or your seasoned Sherlock.

0:22

June's journey will keep you hooked with new chapters

0:24

added every week. With more than thousand

0:27

scenes full of hidden clues, there's always

0:29

something new to discover. I've also

0:31

really enjoyed chatting and playing with other players

0:33

in the detective club. It makes me feel like

0:35

we're team on the case. And you can even

0:37

play against them if you're feeling particularly competitive.

0:40

And beyond the mystery aspect, June's journey

0:42

is just beautifully designed, and you can build

0:45

your very own island to state with expansive gardens

0:47

and beautiful buildings. I'm currently saving

1:08

Okay. I'm having a pretty bad

1:10

day. It was supposed to be a

1:12

glorious day. I mean,

1:14

I've left my hometown. That

1:17

may not sound like a big deal, but I've

1:19

never set foot outside of this place ever.

1:22

No one that lives in Corbat ever

1:24

leaves. This

1:26

was supposed to be the day I finally took

1:28

control of my own life. But

1:30

ever since I left, nothing makes

1:33

sense. Now

1:35

I'm in a stolen car on the run

1:37

to the desert being chased by an enormous

1:39

crow, but I'm not turning back.

1:42

I don't care what's out there. I'm

1:44

leaving Corbat. Check

2:15

Hey there. Welcome back. Fun here. You're

2:17

host at Fear Realm's horror channel.

2:20

And if you can believe it, it's time for our

2:22

second terrifying tale. After

2:24

bearing witness to the gruesome fate of the

2:27

colony, what new wars

2:29

await us? You'll find out

2:31

soon right after a word from our sponsor.

2:37

So

2:42

let's leave the sixteenth Century Virginia

2:44

Woods for something a little more familiar, but

2:46

somehow even more terrifying. A

2:49

big box store on the busiest shopping

2:51

day of the year. Black Friday, written

2:53

by EA Copan, and starring

2:55

Fred Armisen, is a horror comedy

2:57

that begs the question If demonic

3:00

forces took over your local mega

3:02

retailer, what anyone even

3:04

notice? This is such great

3:06

social satire on the soullessness of

3:08

corporate America and retail

3:10

stores in general. I think

3:12

you're gonna like this one. Let's get right into it.

3:14

Just the season after all. I'm your

3:16

host, Pan Bandoo, and this

3:18

is Black Friday episode vlog.

3:27

I love this time of year. Shorter

3:30

days, colder nights, the

3:32

frenzied energy of holiday shoppers and

3:34

underpaid warehouse fulfillment workers.

3:37

But I'll never forget

3:39

that big snowstorm a few years back,

3:41

the weather closed in and Well, you

3:44

might not believe but the world

3:46

almost went to hell before the holidays.

3:49

Lend me an ear. And I'll tell you

3:52

about our most famous retail

3:54

clerk and what he did

3:56

on that fateful Black Friday.

4:02

Finally, the

4:03

sacred cube is ready.

4:06

That's not this guy. But Richard, the

4:08

shift manager at Mark

4:09

Club, is important anyway, because

4:11

of the puzzle box thing. Okay.

4:15

Advancement rituals for retail

4:17

employees. This

4:19

ritual is to be performed at home.

4:22

As if I'm ever home anymore. Poor

4:25

Richard had worked the floor covering back

4:27

to back twelve hour days the last few

4:28

weeks. But he also knew the perfect place for

4:31

his ritual. The Mark Club

4:33

basement, dark and

4:35

hidden like his deepest

4:36

desires. Tonight

4:38

would be perfect timing, the

4:40

evening of Thanksgiving.

4:41

If

4:42

at all wind is planned, he'd be

4:44

done before the Black Friday crew came in to

4:46

set up.

4:50

You'll help me get what I've always wanted.

4:53

Right. Foxy boxy. Yeah.

4:55

Indeed. Richard

4:58

could taste the sweet poetic justice

5:00

of making his ritual. Using that

5:02

year's biggest holiday

5:03

toy, the

5:04

foxy boxy. Some

5:06

new vangled kids toy, a cross

5:08

between a Rubik's cube and a Jack in the

5:10

Box, with a stuffed fox that popped

5:13

out when the puzzle box was solved.

5:15

For weeks, customers had been up his

5:17

tucus to snag one for their milk dripping

5:19

brats. Technically, Foxy

5:21

boxy was out of stock. Technically,

5:24

because Richard was using the last one in the

5:26

Tri State area for his ritual, and

5:29

it perfectly symbolized the urgency

5:31

of his desire. He

5:33

wanted his wish as much as those parents

5:35

wanted a foxy boxy in time for Christmas.

5:40

Okay. Let's see. Place

5:42

the cube in the

5:44

promotion configuration

5:46

and speak your intention allowed. Alright.

5:50

They're good enough. I

5:55

want a promotion store

5:57

manager. Make me a

5:59

store manager after Black

6:02

Friday. Jesus.

6:05

Crackers the tube spinning. The

6:08

ritual must be working. It's

6:10

working. Finally,

6:13

for fourteen years in this shitty middle

6:15

management job. It's about

6:17

time I got what I deserve. Suddenly,

6:22

a glowing red fog

6:24

mold over Richard.

6:27

What the fudge go.

6:30

Oh, press and hold. A

6:33

trio of figures emerged. Something

6:36

about their obscured features terrified of

6:38

me. Hey. What are you

6:40

doing down here? This area is off limits

6:42

to customers. You're

6:44

technically trespassing we're doing. That's what

6:46

we're doing. You're gonna wanna go

6:48

back to your car, please. AAAAAAA

6:51

sharpened hooks erupted from the darkened

6:54

corners of the baseball.

6:55

Oh, This

6:57

isn't what I asked more. Oh, this

6:59

is what I wanted. Where

7:01

the instructions go out. When

7:09

the fog lifted, the only thing

7:11

left of Richard was his smiling

7:13

corpse, and a little pin under

7:15

his name tag that

7:16

read, there is no eye

7:19

and team.

7:22

This wicked Mark Love, save

7:24

on vested snowman water,

7:26

made from one hundred percent organic

7:28

7:50

7:52

responsible. Only at

7:54

Mark Club.

8:05

What the fuck is that supposed to be, Bob?

8:07

Now, that's Tanya. Still important

8:09

because of the customer service manager

8:11

thing or CSM for short. It's

8:16

Santa sleigh. Can you tell?

8:19

Okay. Okay. Now, that's our guy.

8:21

The most famous retail worker

8:23

of them all had to

8:25

build up the anticipation.

8:27

Can you see my vision, Tanya? Two more

8:29

Coca Cola boxes and Santa

8:31

Slays done. Round out the Dr Pepper

8:33

packs and defest snowman, a few

8:35

ornaments, and ta da, the

8:37

soft drink isle of marked clubs, a

8:39

winter wonderland.

8:41

Yeah. This looks just as snazz is your

8:43

jack o lantern display and outdoor lighting,

8:45

which we finally took down

8:47

this

8:47

afternoon. Come on, untangling

8:50

those pumpkin lights wasn't that bad.

8:52

Where's your holiday spirit? You're not even

8:54

wearing your How can I help you to a limited edition

8:56

enamel health

8:57

pin? Do you

8:59

hear something? Now

9:04

Damn it,

9:04

Bob. I only came over here to see if you had

9:06

extra tinsel not for you to jist soda

9:08

all over my vest. Sorry.

9:11

I used the last of what we brought up for the

9:13

sleigh, but I think there was

9:15

another box in the

9:16

basement. That's

9:18

exactly what I want to spend an

9:20

hour in basement going through dusty boxes.

9:23

We're already an hour over for moving the last of

9:25

the Halloween seasonal downstairs. It should

9:27

be done by now. I wanna

9:29

get home before this incoming storming. You're over

9:31

here making a damn

9:32

sleigh. Are you gonna make a

9:34

reindeer too?

9:35

Oh, do you think I should? You

9:37

know what, Bob? Never mind.

9:39

We'll just finish the display without

9:41

the tinsel.

9:44

Tanya, I'll get you the tinsel right after I

9:46

get this all cleaned up. Whatever.

9:52

Bob didn't want Tanya reporting his

9:54

mishap to Richard the shift manager and

9:56

ruining his otherwise spotless permanent

9:58

record. Or worse recommending

10:00

Bob for a ride up. He

10:02

damaged product, which caused Mark

10:04

Club

10:04

money. Quarterly bonuses were

10:07

already low. What if word got out to

10:09

his butterfingers were the reason the next check

10:11

was even smaller?

10:26

After fifteen minutes, the floor was

10:29

sparkling. Bob put up the bright orange

10:31

caution cones and headed for the basement.

10:33

Now, Mark Club was a sprawling

10:35

retail warehouse with towering metal

10:37

shelves, two stories high. The front of

10:39

the store held every bulk and discount code

10:41

you could imagine. The back room

10:43

was over a mile of narrow hallways.

10:46

Freezers, coolers, proofers, and employee

10:48

lockers lined the walkway. He

10:50

noted sign taped to the basement door

10:52

reminding employees of Mark Club's core

10:54

company values. Opportunity,

10:57

betterment, excitement, and

10:59

you They'd even arranged it into the

11:01

clever Anagram obey, so

11:03

it'd be easy to remember. When's the

11:05

last time I was down

11:06

here? Rantation? Why

11:10

is this door always jammed up?

11:17

Wooden steps and a wobbly handrail

11:19

extended into the waiting dark.

11:21

Alright. This is Mark

11:23

Club Bob, not the French catacombs. He

11:26

you've got basement at home. Right?

11:29

Even if yours is finished, carpeted,

11:31

and not as cobweby, Where's

11:34

that light? Who

11:42

kicked out that door? That's

11:44

been Drew. Stoner

11:46

punk. Drew,

11:47

Drew, when I got back up there, I'm

11:49

gonna Damn

11:51

it. This dust.

11:57

Alright. Just in

11:59

and out. All I need

12:01

is this damned tinsel.

12:14

I noticed these chirpy posters

12:16

before. Make your store

12:18

your home away from home. That's

12:20

nice. Mark Club owns your

12:22

soul just like family.

12:24

And his handwashing one.

12:26

Some

12:26

sort of multi eyed tentacle

12:29

monster dabbling his tentacles in a

12:31

tiny sink.

12:32

Very anime. Bob grabbed the

12:35

nearest box and opened it.

12:37

Inside was a warm sweater.

12:40

Alright.

12:41

See. Red and

12:45

green stripes. Talk about

12:47

a trip to uglyville. Right? Tinsul.

12:52

Tinsul. Tinsul. Come on.

12:55

Okay. I got an old hockey mask. Let

12:57

me tell it's slashed. How

12:59

useful is that? Junk.

13:02

See, broken tiara. Uh-uh.

13:05

Tangled Christmas lights get out

13:07

of here. Oh,

13:09

is this? Oh, what a

13:11

cool looking book?

13:13

Alex would love this. Oh, it must

13:16

be a collectible.

13:18

Is that an embossed face on the cover?

13:21

Or is this a math book? This

13:23

is full of diagrams and

13:25

was Russian Well,

13:28

no tenncil here. Let's

13:31

try a few more boxes. It's

13:34

freezing down here. Would

13:36

it kill Mark Club to invest in some insulation?

13:38

Is that too much to ask? How

13:42

did I even wind

13:44

up here? I used to be

13:46

somebody. I had a nice job, an

13:48

acceptable commute, decent

13:50

salary.

13:51

Bob

13:52

thought about last

13:53

summer when his life came crashing

13:55

down. Some young college kids did a

13:57

productivity study. They

13:59

interrogated the office one by one.

14:01

His departmental budget got

14:03

slashed. When they started reusing paper

14:05

clips, Bob knew his end was near.

14:07

Then, the news, Bob's

14:09

department was being replaced by a customer

14:12

oriented

14:12

app, those assholes.

14:16

Unemployed

14:16

for the first time in twenty years,

14:18

Bob did what any red blooded American

14:20

man would do, interviewed

14:22

for anything. He thought the Mark

14:24

Club clerk position was only temporary.

14:27

In six to eight

14:27

months, Bob could be a CSM, like

14:30

Tanya, with a pay raise,

14:33

There's the tinsel. Yeah.

14:36

Oh, wait that.

14:38

Wow.

14:39

I'm really getting

14:42

too old for this. Oh, god

14:44

my back. Bob

14:46

swept his key light over the mess. Illuminating a

14:48

pair of ergonomic work shoes.

14:51

Man Bob thought, those looked

14:53

comfy. The shoes were attached to

14:55

a pair of ankles, which connected

14:57

to legs, a torso,

15:00

then a face.

15:03

It's green flesh drooped

15:06

like rotten meat. White

15:08

cloudy eyes stared at

15:09

him. It's not real.

15:14

Alright. It's an exact copy

15:16

of our Redshift Managers best.

15:19

And Richard had a lanyard just like

15:21

that. Actually,

15:23

this zombie mannequin could be

15:25

Richard's undead Twin.

15:27

Was this one of our Halloween seasonals?

15:32

Man, Coke sled. Really

15:34

gotta up my game if I wanna stand out and

15:36

get myself a promotion. So

15:43

Good

15:43

thing Tanya and Richard weren't around.

15:45

If they

15:45

caught Bob on his phone on the clock,

15:47

he'd get a ride up. A

15:51

Hello, honey. Hi. You're calling to

15:53

say good night. Oh, Jeff, that's

15:55

so sweet. Actually,

15:56

I was hoping you could pick up some milk

15:59

on your way home.

16:00

Of course, man.

16:02

How's Betsy doing? Our

16:04

labradoodle is fine, Roberto, but

16:06

she's the least of your worries. Don't

16:09

forget this time. You know, I still can't

16:11

believe you went in. Today, on holidays, it's

16:13

Thanksgiving. You should be

16:15

at

16:15

home. I

16:16

know, but holiday pay is time and

16:18

a half. We need the money, Jeff.

16:21

More

16:21

than we need to be together on Thanksgiving. Get

16:23

all the milk. We're at least

16:25

something humanely sourced. What

16:28

compostable packaging, please.

16:31

Alex isn't on that animal rights kick

16:33

again, is she? Just

16:36

cows this time, I think. Could be

16:38

worse. I'm just glad she's taking

16:40

an interest in

16:40

something. Because

16:41

you know how she gets, Jeff,

16:44

I heard that dad. Jesse?

16:47

Yes. Just get the milk,

16:49

Bob. I will

16:51

finish up. III

16:53

just

16:53

order. And call

16:54

back next. Jeff Papa

16:56

Turkey. 00000.

16:57

No. No. Cutting out. Oh. Jeff. Hello.

16:59

Hello. Hello. Hello. Hi.

17:04

Sorry, pal. I think our calls got

17:07

crossed, but might

17:09

wanna get that looked at. Damn

17:13

snowstorm. It's probably interfering with cell

17:15

reception. Damn it.

17:17

Just to make sure he didn't

17:20

forget, Bob held the light in his mouth and

17:22

wrote, get milk

17:24

on his

17:25

palm. With a pocket sharpie. Who's

17:28

there? But then?

17:30

Found you, you sneaky bastard,

17:33

tinsel, thought you could hide

17:35

from Bob did you. This

17:38

is definitely too heavy

17:40

for tinsels. Let's have a

17:42

look. Box cutter.

17:49

Damn it. Butter fingers all over

17:52

again. This advantage

17:55

upstairs. As Bob

17:57

sucked his thumb, he noticed

17:59

something more valuable than tinsel sitting next

18:01

to the zombie doll. Holy

18:03

moly, is that a foxy boxy?

18:06

Now these are

18:07

out of stock. Wow.

18:11

Richard would kill me if this is found without

18:14

its

18:14

packaging. The

18:14

toy reminded him of the Rubik's

18:17

kitty played with as a kid. He

18:19

never thought he'd see a foxy boxy this side of

18:21

New

18:21

Year's. Customers had

18:22

mauled the assistant store manager in a marked

18:24

club three towns away over rumors that

18:26

stock was available. Must

18:28

have been

18:28

part of returnables. Look

18:31

at this. What a shame. Some kids scribbled all over

18:34

it. Turn this in

18:36

the fox pops right

18:38

out. Crap.

18:43

Blood had

18:44

smeared the

18:45

cube, then

18:46

suddenly his hair twitched

18:48

on end. Bob scratched his

18:49

head and felt the tickle of breath

18:52

on his hand.

18:53

Hello? Anybody there? It's me.

18:56

Bob down here. I

18:59

gotta get out

19:01

of here. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh,

19:04

shit. Terrified. Bob snatched the tinsel box

19:06

and raced up the wooden steps and

19:08

reached the partially open door.

19:10

Someone grabbed the outside handle and janked

19:12

it wide.

19:15

Gross. Did you find the tinsel? Of

19:20

course, I did. Finally.

19:23

Hey, you didn't

19:26

happen to see Richard while you were down

19:28

there. Did you? He

19:29

said he was

19:30

going down to get something and I haven't seen him

19:33

since. No. I didn't see anyone

19:35

and absolutely nothing

19:37

happened. Definitely no

19:39

basement zombies

19:40

down there. I mean, why would

19:42

there be? Right? Bismuth

19:45

zombies. See, this is

19:47

why I'm glad I'm a lesbians.

19:49

Beastman zombies. Because men are weird.

19:51

What the

19:55

fuck is dead? Duct tape?

19:58

I told you to get tinsel. Is this supposed to be

20:00

a

20:00

joke? Well, you know what they say about duct

20:03

tape? Right? It's Always useful. Bob,

20:05

enough of your oh, no.

20:08

What's going

20:09

on? Bob and

20:10

Tanya had just enough time to

20:13

realize that the store's heavy duty lights

20:15

were going out one by

20:18

one before they were

20:20

plunged into darkness. Remember

20:24

back

20:27

in our first episode when I promise that

20:30

fear has a little something for

20:32

everyone. I wasn't kidding. Here we

20:34

have horror comedy. I

20:36

hope you guys were thinking about Sean of the Dead or Evil

20:39

Dead. Those are such powerful

20:41

examples of the genre because

20:44

It allows us to laugh

20:46

and it gives us that distance,

20:48

but it also provides such

20:50

great satire for for

20:53

a platform for all of our

20:56

anxieties about being

20:58

an employee in corporate

20:59

America, you know, obey, which

21:03

does feel like a nightmare.

21:04

Mhmm. What

21:05

horrors and wait, Bob, Tanya, and the rest

21:08

of the Mark Club crew? You don't
