After considering leeches’ relationships with chimpanzees (1:34), Aaron, Banks and Evan dive into Nope’s leechiest themes (8:20), scenes (17:58), and characters (29:13). To get some relief, the guys head to the shore for Leech on a Beach (36:26). They conclude by considering the film’s medicinal qualities (40:16) and giving an overall rating -- from 1 to 4 -- of the film’s leechiness (52:24).
