Actual Schizophrenic Conspiracy Theory: Kendrick x Late Night With The Devil

Last night I watched 'Late Night with the Devil' (2024) (which I originally thought was an obscure movie but it seems like it was fairly popular according to 700k watched on Letterbox. Coincidentally the movie released in the US on March 22nd, 2024 which was the day 'Like That' came out.)

I'm not going to go super in depth into the movie and explanations of connections I will more-so just lay everything out, but I will explain the plot to the movie now with full spoilers here and everything below, so don't read if you want to watch the movie.

The movie 'Late Night with the Devil' is filmed as a found footage movie showing the events of one night through what was broadcasted on TV and through behind the scenes footage, it's about a late night TV show in 1977 that used to do well but after the tragic death of the host's wife, begins to fail and viewership plummets, however Jack, the host, has one last chance to save his show and his career on Halloween night with a special occult themed episode. The movie essentially demonstrates the typical greedy clout driven person that would do anything for money and power, in this case Jack shamefully abuses his guests and his audience by manipulating and pushing their boundaries with the goal of being the top entertainer surpassing Johnny Carson, ultimately sacrificing his wife's life by signing a deal with the Devil through the cult to gain the clout and attention he wanted.

Honestly, nothing Kendrick related popped into my mind until this scene below which was part of the enormous climax near the end of the movie. It added a whole new interpretation to "Turn his TV off" and then I started to see way more connections than I first realized.

This will be the only one I directly explain, the significance of this, if an intentional connection, suggests Kendrick is saying everyone that's a consumer or viewer needs to turn off their TV that watches Drake, because of all of the evil and bad things he stands for and exposes his audience to, most of which is what the elites and people above him want him to promote to his large audience, while he gets money clout and fame in return to exploiting the watchers. Or less literally, he's glorifying evils and vices to the world, you as the audience need to shut his shit off and stop paying attention to the cult.

After the Devil kills all of the guests on stage, and probably entering Jack's body as a host, Jack starts to spiral in time through his past episodes for eternity, begging the audience to turn their television off and stop watching, he realizes his mistakes of greed, using the audience's attention to feed the Devil what it wants. It then cuts to back in time when he first signed his deal, revealing that he sacrificed his wife.

The Devil lives inside this girl Lily, no matter where the camera cuts to she seems to always stare directly into the camera of the show.

We all know Kendrick rarely ever looks into the camera, seemingly intentionally
