Dead Boy Detectives Review | Netflix
Derek and Noah crossover to review Netflix’s Dead Boy Detectives!
Based on the characters by Neil Gaiman and developed for television by Steve Yockey. Edwin (the brain) and Charles (the brawn) are happy being stuck between the living and the dead solving cases of tortured souls’ Earthly mysteries to aid them in moving on. Not wanting to move on themselves, they dodge Death when she does her duty for the other saved souls. Clairvoyant Crystal joins the gang after being possessed by her demonic ex. He’s purloined her precious memories and she must piece her past together. Rounding out the paranormal party is Niko, whose near-death experience pulls back the veil to the ghostly plane offering her the opportunity to lend her emotional intelligence to the cases they take on. The Dead Boy Detective Agency is stuck in the Pacific Northwest counting cats, solving cases, dodging deadly witches, and dealing with their own internal struggles of both their living and afterlives.
On the menu: the Dead Boy’s comic history, Edwin and Charles’ pasts, love triangles upon love triangles, Crystal’s lost memories, Niko’s relationship with Dandelions, sexy Cat Kings, and a review of the entire first season!

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,600
Hey, I'm Dedrick. And
I'm Noah and you're
2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,420
listening to Bite of. Where
we take our current
3
00:00:06,420 --> 00:00:08,620
favorite pop culture
obsession and enjoy it one
4
00:00:08,620 --> 00:00:11,340
nibble at a time. I
didn't like how formal that
5
00:00:11,340 --> 00:00:14,820
was. I'm
being Edwin. I'm
6
00:00:14,820 --> 00:00:16,780
gonna do the whole thing
with my hands like this.
7
00:00:25,419 --> 00:00:27,360
So
we have a very deadly bite
8
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,400
today. We
are talking about the
9
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,400
entire first season of Dead
Boy Detectives. We
10
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,560
received the screener. We've
seen the whole series first
11
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,620
season. Really
hoping there's a season to.
12
00:00:37,700 --> 00:00:38,680
I
know. Don't
13
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:42,540
put that out there. So
spoilers definitely had this
14
00:00:42,540 --> 00:00:44,380
is not a spoiler free
review. So
15
00:00:44,380 --> 00:00:46,900
just letting you know now
go watch it all eight
16
00:00:46,900 --> 00:00:49,180
episodes are out and then
come back and listen to
17
00:00:49,180 --> 00:00:50,080
us. Or
if you don't care about
18
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,260
spoilers, just yeah. Hi.
Yes, but we have done our
19
00:00:53,260 --> 00:00:56,120
due diligence and giving
you the spoiler alert very
20
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,480
early on. Very,
very early on. Before
21
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,200
we get into everything,
make sure you are
22
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:01,980
subscribed. Make
sure you're following. Make
23
00:01:01,980 --> 00:01:03,960
sure you do those reviews.
Discord,
24
00:01:04,340 --> 00:01:06,000
Patreon, all those lovely
things. Everything
25
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,600
is down below. Also
this sweater I'm wearing,
26
00:01:09,740 --> 00:01:12,560
which is perfect for this
episode. You
27
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,460
can buy from our merch
shop. That
28
00:01:14,460 --> 00:01:17,580
is classic a bite of.
Yeah,
29
00:01:17,580 --> 00:01:19,700
very early on. So
if you know if you're a
30
00:01:19,700 --> 00:01:22,540
creepy kid, creepy kid grew
up that way, watched, you
31
00:01:22,540 --> 00:01:24,900
know, all those goosebumps,
everything. That's
32
00:01:24,900 --> 00:01:27,200
what this means. Perfect
for the show. Are
33
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,040
you afraid of the dark?
Yes.
34
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:32,820
This is kind of like a
little are you afraid of
35
00:01:32,820 --> 00:01:35,720
the dark? Don't
get into it. Oh,
36
00:01:35,740 --> 00:01:38,140
and that's true. Well,
he says why? So
37
00:01:38,140 --> 00:01:40,540
how we're going to do this
episode is we are going to
38
00:01:40,540 --> 00:01:42,680
talk about its origin in
the comics from DC Comics
39
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,880
slash Vertigo, RAP, and
then talk about the show.
40
00:01:47,180 --> 00:01:49,040
So
full spoilers ahead. So
41
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,240
to kick off this episode,
before we get to the
42
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,500
review, I do want to talk
about their little tiny
43
00:01:53,500 --> 00:01:55,420
mini history. We
need the history. Yeah,
44
00:01:55,500 --> 00:01:57,840
Neil Gaiman is a very
prolific comic book writer
45
00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,900
as well as a writer, and
that's where they came
46
00:01:59,900 --> 00:02:01,940
from. So
I'm very excited anytime.
47
00:02:02,460 --> 00:02:04,840
Sandman,
anything is a thing. Yes.
48
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,780
Now, Netflix, I'm hoping is
going to be creating a
49
00:02:07,780 --> 00:02:10,940
Sandman universe. The
sand of us. And
50
00:02:10,940 --> 00:02:14,040
this is their first dipping
in their toes. There
51
00:02:14,048 --> 00:02:17,240
are some crossovers, so be
prepared for that. So
52
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,860
starting off, they actually
appeared in Sandman number
53
00:02:19,860 --> 00:02:24,000
25, created by Neil Gaiman
and Matt Wagner. They
54
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,840
were in the seasons of
Miss Storyline where it
55
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:28,800
just pretty much shows the
boys meeting. It
56
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,240
wasn't until the Children's
Crusade, a Vertigo crossover
57
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,900
event where they got their
official title. They
58
00:02:34,900 --> 00:02:36,700
kept popping up in
different various Vertigo
59
00:02:36,700 --> 00:02:39,860
books, which is now DC
Black Label. For
60
00:02:39,860 --> 00:02:42,160
those of you that go out
to the comic shop to read
61
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,900
them, it's under Black
Label or under Sandman
62
00:02:44,900 --> 00:02:48,480
Presents. In
2001, they got their own
63
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,620
mini series, Sandman
Presents, Dead Boy
64
00:02:50,620 --> 00:02:53,060
Detectives by Ed Brubaker.
Fantastic
65
00:02:53,060 --> 00:02:56,720
writer, fantastic book. It's
also kind of, that one
66
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,980
really feels like Sandman.
So
67
00:02:58,980 --> 00:03:03,000
fans of Sandman will really
appreciate that little mini
68
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,980
series. Following
the success of their mini
69
00:03:06,980 --> 00:03:11,680
series, they got a manga
style graphic novel by Jill
70
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:16,260
Thompson in 2005. Their
popularity from that then
71
00:03:16,260 --> 00:03:19,740
led to 2014, where they
got an ongoing series
72
00:03:19,740 --> 00:03:22,780
written by Toby Litt and
Mark Buckingham. The
73
00:03:22,780 --> 00:03:25,960
series was toned down for
audiences and their 12
74
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:27,920
-issue run. So
you have the Ed Brubaker,
75
00:03:28,060 --> 00:03:30,880
which is very mature. And
then in 2014, it was a
76
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,080
little toned down. It
wasn't as successful, but
77
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,640
it was still fun. You
think because of it, it
78
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,160
was toned down? Yeah.
Most recently, the Dead Boy
79
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:43,760
Detectives returned into
2022 and 2023, limited
80
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,260
series, as part of the
Sandman Universe initiative.
81
00:03:46,860 --> 00:03:48,540
Hello,
that's where we're at. The
82
00:03:48,540 --> 00:03:51,240
series was written by
Pornsack, the shit shot,
83
00:03:51,540 --> 00:03:55,540
and explored the many
mysteries, including some
84
00:03:55,540 --> 00:03:58,520
romantic development between
the boys. So
85
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,480
it was a very new
development and it carried
86
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,200
through to the series.
Yeah,
87
00:04:02,300 --> 00:04:05,080
sure did. You
know, it's so fascinating
88
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,780
seeing how there really
wasn't like a linear line.
89
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:10,840
It
kind of like went and
90
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,200
stopped and went and
stopped. And
91
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:13,860
like it felt like they
kept just popping up.
92
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,420
Welcome
to comics. Whoa.
93
00:04:15,740 --> 00:04:17,800
Yeah, it happens a lot in
comic books, but they've
94
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,560
always been there. You
know, they popped up
95
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,180
through a lot of different
titles. They
96
00:04:22,180 --> 00:04:24,200
most recently got one. So
that's good. And
97
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:25,140
now they have their show.
So
98
00:04:25,140 --> 00:04:28,540
hopefully that means more
Dead Boy Detectives.
99
00:04:29,020 --> 00:04:30,420
Hopefully.
That's what I'm hoping for.
100
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:31,180
I
agree. All
101
00:04:31,180 --> 00:04:33,080
right. So
let us officially take a
102
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,680
bite of Dead Boy
Detectives, based on the
103
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,980
characters by Neil Gaiman
and developed for television
104
00:04:37,980 --> 00:04:42,220
by Steve Yackey. Edwin,
the brain, and Charles, the
105
00:04:42,220 --> 00:04:44,820
brawn, are happy being
stuck between the living
106
00:04:44,820 --> 00:04:48,300
and the dead, solving cases
of tortured souls, earthly
107
00:04:48,300 --> 00:04:51,280
mysteries to aid them in
moving on. Not
108
00:04:51,280 --> 00:04:53,280
wanting to move on
themselves. They
109
00:04:53,280 --> 00:04:55,740
dodge death when she does
her duty for the other
110
00:04:55,740 --> 00:04:58,600
saved souls. Claire
Voyant Crystal joins the
111
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,980
gang after being possessed
by her ex -dem - demon.
112
00:05:02,840 --> 00:05:04,460
He's
purloined her precious
113
00:05:04,460 --> 00:05:07,760
memories and she must piece
her past together. Rounding
114
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,520
out the paranormal party is
Nico, whose near -death
115
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,360
experience pulls back the
veil to the ghostly plane,
116
00:05:13,700 --> 00:05:16,120
offering her the opportunity
to lend her emotional
117
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,860
intelligence to the cases
they take on. The
118
00:05:18,860 --> 00:05:21,700
Dead Boy Detective Agency
is stuck in the Pacific
119
00:05:21,700 --> 00:05:25,320
Northwest, counting cats,
solving cases, dodging
120
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,300
deadly witches, and dealing
with their own internal
121
00:05:28,300 --> 00:05:31,640
struggles of both their
living and after lives.
122
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:32,980
Ooh.
Yeah. I
123
00:05:32,980 --> 00:05:36,260
mean, that's it. Done.
Review done. More,
124
00:05:36,420 --> 00:05:38,820
okay, more read. That
was the longest synopsis
125
00:05:38,820 --> 00:05:41,140
I've written in a long
time. And
126
00:05:41,140 --> 00:05:44,100
I think I got most of the
points. Well,
127
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,760
that's what the rest of
this episode is for. So
128
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,620
as always, what are your
thoughts? My
129
00:05:51,620 --> 00:05:53,380
thoughts. General
thoughts. General
130
00:05:53,380 --> 00:05:56,540
thoughts is that, like the
thing that just came to
131
00:05:56,540 --> 00:05:59,600
mind is that I am in, I
am invested. Like,
132
00:05:59,780 --> 00:06:04,420
from episode one, I wanted
to know everything about
133
00:06:04,420 --> 00:06:07,940
them. I
think that this does such
134
00:06:07,940 --> 00:06:10,440
an amazing job of making
you care about these
135
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,660
characters. And
overall, I just want there
136
00:06:13,660 --> 00:06:17,520
to be a season two. Yeah.
That's my feelings exactly.
137
00:06:17,900 --> 00:06:20,700
I
will say, okay, so not a
138
00:06:20,700 --> 00:06:21,720
critique right off the bat.
The
139
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,880
first episode is the
weakest of all of them.
140
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:26,260
And
that's only because there's
141
00:06:26,260 --> 00:06:27,920
exposition. Oh,
yeah. It's
142
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,940
a little like not clunky,
but it's like, once the
143
00:06:30,940 --> 00:06:34,160
full cast is there and
they're all settled, it's
144
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:35,840
like, oh, this is
believable. And
145
00:06:35,840 --> 00:06:39,080
I'm completely invested in
everything. It
146
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,520
also has a mix of so many
things that I personally
147
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,140
really love and gravitate
towards. So
148
00:06:45,140 --> 00:06:47,600
not only Sandman and some
of those characters popping
149
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:52,580
up in this, but it feels
like if you mixed Dr. Who,
150
00:06:53,620 --> 00:06:59,900
Supernatural, and like the
best parts of CW, like
151
00:06:59,900 --> 00:07:03,240
teen stuff like Sabrina and
all of that, like Sabrina
152
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,800
season one, not the rest
of that. But
153
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,540
it feels a lot like that.
And
154
00:07:07,540 --> 00:07:12,320
it's literally a case by
case by week type thing
155
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,020
with a linear story
throughout it. So
156
00:07:15,020 --> 00:07:18,020
it has a driving force,
but also you come back
157
00:07:18,020 --> 00:07:20,900
wanting to be like, what
is this case about? What
158
00:07:20,900 --> 00:07:23,280
does that title mean? I
loved it. Right.
159
00:07:23,460 --> 00:07:25,140
And one of the great
things that they do is
160
00:07:25,140 --> 00:07:28,380
that through these cases,
they explore their own
161
00:07:28,380 --> 00:07:31,720
inner turmoil, right? So
the case of the week is
162
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,800
actually showing them
something that they need to
163
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:35,700
go through or something
about themselves. And
164
00:07:35,700 --> 00:07:38,400
I agree that this really
does house a lot of the
165
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,400
things that I gravitate
towards, right? So
166
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,840
I gravitate towards
paranormal things. I
167
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,880
gravitate towards queer
characters, strong female
168
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,800
characters, a great ensemble
cast. And
169
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:51,680
I really think that this
does a great job of
170
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,640
marrying all those things
together. Yeah.
171
00:07:53,860 --> 00:07:57,940
They did a really good job
of, it's like, you know,
172
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,780
so the protagonists are
teens and there's a lot of
173
00:08:00,780 --> 00:08:03,460
teens in this, but it's
very mature. So
174
00:08:03,460 --> 00:08:05,740
I'm hoping that goes well
with a lot of people
175
00:08:05,740 --> 00:08:08,160
because I like that kind
of thing where it's like,
176
00:08:08,260 --> 00:08:11,260
there is a time and place
where teens get treated
177
00:08:11,260 --> 00:08:13,300
like teens and it's for
teens. And
178
00:08:13,300 --> 00:08:17,640
I feel like this is can
be for broad audiences, but
179
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:21,140
with mature audiences in
mind because the themes are
180
00:08:21,140 --> 00:08:23,680
very heavy in this. And
like they don't hold back
181
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:27,120
on some of the scary and
gore, which I very much
182
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,420
appreciate it. Yeah,
I agree. And
183
00:08:29,420 --> 00:08:31,960
they do a really good job
of when it comes to the
184
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,780
super gory things, like
right as the axe is going
185
00:08:34,780 --> 00:08:37,580
to hit the person, it
pulls away. But
186
00:08:37,580 --> 00:08:39,880
you see the horror on the
other people's faces
187
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,240
surrounding it. So,
you know, I get kind of
188
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,039
squeamish with things like
that. So
189
00:08:44,039 --> 00:08:48,000
if they're doing, you know,
the for me, well, then I'm
190
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,540
great. Right.
I don't have to miss
191
00:08:49,540 --> 00:08:52,760
anything. Yeah.
But I do agree. Right.
192
00:08:52,860 --> 00:08:56,520
It's this thing. It's
a really good balance of
193
00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:00,740
taking these, you know,
teen characters who can get
194
00:09:00,740 --> 00:09:03,380
into like teen situations,
but then taking that like
195
00:09:03,380 --> 00:09:07,080
Neil Gaiman sense of not
being afraid to show the
196
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,760
dark side of things and
bringing them together in a
197
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,480
way that makes sense. Yeah.
And I mean, he created
198
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:16,800
this thing where it's like
a meld of kind of like
199
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,660
fiction that we know, like
boarding school and
200
00:09:19,660 --> 00:09:22,420
detective teens. And
he married that with this.
201
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:23,980
And
I still feel like we get
202
00:09:23,980 --> 00:09:26,820
that we don't have so much
boarding school on this. It
203
00:09:26,820 --> 00:09:29,600
started there technically.
But
204
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,060
we have that like Hardy
Boys feel that Nancy Drew
205
00:09:32,060 --> 00:09:35,120
feel with a mature
supernatural twist on it.
206
00:09:35,899 --> 00:09:38,020
It's
deadly and it's delicious.
207
00:09:38,420 --> 00:09:40,520
And
I love every second of it.
208
00:09:40,740 --> 00:09:42,580
Like
we couldn't stop watching
209
00:09:42,580 --> 00:09:45,320
it. No.
And I need a season two
210
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:49,880
immediately. Absolutely.
I was like, you know,
211
00:09:49,940 --> 00:09:51,900
sometimes I go into these
things a little blind and
212
00:09:51,900 --> 00:09:53,480
I never know how I'm going
to feel about them. And
213
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,740
even though that first
episode, like we're saying
214
00:09:55,740 --> 00:09:59,200
is the weakest of the
eight, it was just weak in
215
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,680
comparison to the other
ones. It
216
00:10:01,680 --> 00:10:04,360
wasn't an actually weak
episode. They
217
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,740
crammed so much into that
first episode and really
218
00:10:07,740 --> 00:10:10,880
laid the foundation for the
entire first season. So
219
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,220
it's it's solid in that
sense. You
220
00:10:13,220 --> 00:10:16,220
need all that information
before going into the rest
221
00:10:16,220 --> 00:10:19,780
of it. Yeah.
And so it's it's one of
222
00:10:19,780 --> 00:10:22,000
those things that like, I
don't know, it just felt
223
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,360
like candy in the sense
that I just wanted more.
224
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,080
Yeah.
You know, so salty, sweet,
225
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,620
delicious. Yeah.
That's a weird way to
226
00:10:29,620 --> 00:10:35,420
describe the show. Okay.
So let's talk about our
227
00:10:35,420 --> 00:10:38,340
main cast here a little
bit, specifically Edwin and
228
00:10:38,340 --> 00:10:42,600
Charles. I
loved them. I
229
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,340
think that the way they
characterize these characters
230
00:10:45,340 --> 00:10:48,120
was not only something
familiar, but something
231
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:52,180
updated a little bit. But
surprising in their
232
00:10:52,180 --> 00:10:55,940
character growth, even
though they've been ghost
233
00:10:55,940 --> 00:10:59,480
boys for decades. Yes.
One of the interesting
234
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,920
things with these two
characters is there is a
235
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,480
bit of an odd couple thing
happening, right? And
236
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,820
so we have Edwin, who is
very old English and
237
00:11:07,820 --> 00:11:10,020
proper. I
mean, he passed away in
238
00:11:10,020 --> 00:11:13,800
like 1913. And
then we have Charles, on
239
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,940
the other hand, who's kind
of new school punk rock
240
00:11:16,940 --> 00:11:20,140
from the 80s, but they get
along. And
241
00:11:20,140 --> 00:11:23,360
so but they're always kind
of filling each other in
242
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,180
on different things. And
I think we also have an
243
00:11:25,180 --> 00:11:27,540
interesting thing here with
these two characters where
244
00:11:27,540 --> 00:11:32,260
Edwin can seem cold. But
I feel like Edwin is in
245
00:11:32,260 --> 00:11:36,120
that sense is being very
much himself, where we
246
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,500
thought like Charles is
overly friendly, but it's a
247
00:11:39,500 --> 00:11:41,200
facade. Right.
Right. He
248
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,100
is friendly and he is
good. But
249
00:11:44,100 --> 00:11:47,040
it's that way he deals
within the season is
250
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,000
wanting to be good. So
we kind of overcompensates
251
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,240
with that sunshiney feeling.
But
252
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,960
if he was just himself, he
would still give up that
253
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,140
same thing. It's
the overbearingness of it
254
00:11:58,140 --> 00:12:01,440
that people question. And
like, why are you always
255
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,180
like this? Right.
What is it that you're
256
00:12:03,180 --> 00:12:05,580
overcompensating for? And
I think there's also
257
00:12:05,580 --> 00:12:07,300
something interesting with
these two characters and
258
00:12:07,300 --> 00:12:10,100
the fact that they they
open this dead boy
259
00:12:10,100 --> 00:12:14,980
detective agency to help
others, but they don't want
260
00:12:14,980 --> 00:12:18,200
to end up where those
other souls have to go. So
261
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:23,300
they actually are constantly
risking their lives to help
262
00:12:23,300 --> 00:12:26,380
other people because every
time that, you know, death
263
00:12:26,380 --> 00:12:28,560
comes to collect them, they
have to run, they have to
264
00:12:28,560 --> 00:12:30,960
hide. And
so they're just so giving,
265
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:35,020
but yet at the same time
need to step away from
266
00:12:35,020 --> 00:12:37,060
that part of everything.
Speaking
267
00:12:37,060 --> 00:12:40,820
of death, and it's a big
part in the series and for
268
00:12:40,820 --> 00:12:43,880
the boys and, you know,
wanting to continue to do
269
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,940
this work and not wanting
to find out what their
270
00:12:46,940 --> 00:12:50,040
afterlife is. Because
so Edwin was put in hell
271
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,400
by mistake by error, but
he was put in hell. So
272
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,680
he was there for what, 70
years. 70. Yeah.
273
00:12:56,020 --> 00:12:58,580
So it's awful. So
he has like an extra like,
274
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,080
I don't want death to get
me. And
275
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,380
also Charles wants to be
with him and is fine where
276
00:13:04,380 --> 00:13:07,440
he's at. Death
does make an appearance and
277
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:12,240
that's played by Kirby from
the Sam and Netflix series.
278
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,700
Love
her anytime she's on
279
00:13:15,700 --> 00:13:17,660
screen. I
still the sound of her
280
00:13:17,660 --> 00:13:20,000
wings. So
good that episode. I
281
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,140
think that was like the
only thing Derek saw from
282
00:13:22,140 --> 00:13:23,760
that show. I
need him to watch the
283
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,780
show, but I did show you
her episode, the sound of
284
00:13:26,780 --> 00:13:29,680
the wings. It's
just so good. It
285
00:13:29,680 --> 00:13:31,680
is one of my favorite
issues in that comic. I
286
00:13:31,680 --> 00:13:33,460
think a lot of people like
that one, but for good
287
00:13:33,460 --> 00:13:36,400
reasons, but she's only in
it once. You
288
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,960
do see her wings throughout
the series. So
289
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,880
I'm hoping that in season
two of Sandman season two
290
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,320
of Dead Boy Detect as we
get more Kirby because. I
291
00:13:47,328 --> 00:13:49,600
mean, perfect every time.
Yes.
292
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,080
If I'm going to the
afterlife, I would love
293
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,500
Kirby to be the one to
welcome me. And
294
00:13:54,500 --> 00:13:58,080
I think that having Kirby
in that first episode
295
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:02,700
really was the Sandman, you
know, sprinkle of Sandman
296
00:14:02,700 --> 00:14:04,820
in it. Right.
It's letting you know this
297
00:14:04,820 --> 00:14:06,540
is part of the Sandman
universe. We
298
00:14:06,548 --> 00:14:09,500
needed that. And
later on in the hell
299
00:14:09,500 --> 00:14:12,240
episode towards the end of
the first season, we do
300
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:18,000
see despair in there as
well or misery from the
301
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,640
Sandman series as well. So
it was good to see some
302
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,600
other characters pop up as
well to also remind us
303
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:28,020
like, by the way, Morpheus
is around somewhere. 100%.
304
00:14:28,020 --> 00:14:29,820
I
think, you know, when I
305
00:14:29,820 --> 00:14:33,880
think about George Rex Drew
and Jayden Reverie playing
306
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:35,700
Edwin and Charles, I think
they have a bit of an
307
00:14:35,700 --> 00:14:38,940
interesting job here. Right.
So they're carrying on the
308
00:14:38,940 --> 00:14:41,040
lineage of the Sandman
universe. But
309
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,260
they're also, if you think
about these characters. So
310
00:14:44,260 --> 00:14:48,400
someone like Edwin has been
in this afterlife for this
311
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,640
in between life, you know,
for 70 years in hell and
312
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,720
then 30 years as a dead
boy detective. So
313
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,220
they're both like, well, at
least he is over 100 years
314
00:14:56,220 --> 00:14:57,540
old. Yeah.
Right. So
315
00:14:57,540 --> 00:15:00,200
you have to play this
character of old. I'm
316
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,680
17, 16, 17, 18, but I'm
also over 100 years old.
317
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:04,860
It's
very Avatar the last
318
00:15:04,860 --> 00:15:08,940
airbender. Yeah.
Interesting connection, but
319
00:15:08,940 --> 00:15:10,900
yeah, like it makes sense.
It's
320
00:15:10,900 --> 00:15:13,000
a 12 year old who's really
112 years old. I
321
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,000
didn't expect you to know
that. But
322
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,380
that is true. And
then I think they did a
323
00:15:18,380 --> 00:15:20,480
good job with also
reminding us that even
324
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:25,020
though they're when they
were when they died, when
325
00:15:25,020 --> 00:15:27,060
they were mortals, they
were young, but they lived
326
00:15:27,060 --> 00:15:28,960
for so long. Yes,
they're wise and a lot of
327
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:33,120
stuff, but the maturity in
some areas like specifically
328
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:37,580
Edwin and sexuality and how
even to kiss somebody and
329
00:15:37,580 --> 00:15:40,360
all of that just never
progressed. And
330
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,400
then say the thing with
Charles, he never learned
331
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:48,080
how to kind of even like,
no matter how somebody's
332
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,060
treating you, you don't
need to appease that
333
00:15:50,060 --> 00:15:51,660
person. Like,
you know, when you get
334
00:15:51,660 --> 00:15:54,140
older, you're like, I don't
need to like make sure
335
00:15:54,140 --> 00:15:57,620
that person has my approval
that treats me like shit.
336
00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:59,000
Yeah.
You know, that's just
337
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,760
something that develops as
you get older. But
338
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:03,700
throughout the series, it
was good to see them deal
339
00:16:03,700 --> 00:16:06,100
with that or come to terms
with that. That
340
00:16:06,100 --> 00:16:08,060
was actually one of my
favorite things of this
341
00:16:08,060 --> 00:16:10,580
first season was how they
dealt with some of that
342
00:16:10,580 --> 00:16:12,540
stuff. Yeah.
And it's interesting that
343
00:16:12,540 --> 00:16:15,780
they've spent the last
three decades together, but.
344
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:17,420
Didn't
talk about it. Right.
345
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,740
Exactly. There's
still that humanity within
346
00:16:19,740 --> 00:16:22,320
them of this is something
that's a little too
347
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:23,940
painful. So
I'm just going to keep it
348
00:16:23,940 --> 00:16:26,460
to myself. Yeah.
You know, spending 30 years
349
00:16:26,460 --> 00:16:29,620
with someone and not even
saying like, I think I
350
00:16:29,620 --> 00:16:33,000
might like men, you know,
like that's intense. Well,
351
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,300
he is. He
came from a time where
352
00:16:35,300 --> 00:16:36,920
it's like definitely not.
You
353
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,160
can't be a homosexual and
then also he was dead in
354
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,060
hell. So
it's like he had no time
355
00:16:41,060 --> 00:16:47,380
to be like, I like butts
men, but men. More
356
00:16:47,380 --> 00:16:49,480
specifically. Yeah.
He had no time for that.
357
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,140
And
it is with the help of
358
00:16:52,140 --> 00:16:56,400
our wonderful clairvoyant
psychic. Crystal
359
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,020
Palace. This
crystal palace, which is a
360
00:16:59,020 --> 00:17:02,780
name is amazing. Edwin
Payne. Right.
361
00:17:03,260 --> 00:17:05,960
You know, he suffered a
lot of pain for 70 years.
362
00:17:06,140 --> 00:17:07,220
It's
very, it's on the nose. I
363
00:17:07,220 --> 00:17:10,280
was, I was even thinking
about Charles Rowland,
364
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:15,240
right? Row
as in in the water where
365
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,060
he almost died and he got.
Well,
366
00:17:17,079 --> 00:17:19,760
that's not how he died in
the comics, but that does
367
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:21,260
make sense for the show.
Did,
368
00:17:21,420 --> 00:17:23,760
did he die on land in the
car? Yeah.
369
00:17:24,540 --> 00:17:26,880
Yeah. He
died like in the attic and
370
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,900
yeah. Yeah.
Anyway, so he didn't die
371
00:17:29,900 --> 00:17:32,660
on in water in the comics,
but for the show, it makes
372
00:17:32,660 --> 00:17:34,500
sense. Yes.
They're having fun. Yeah.
373
00:17:34,860 --> 00:17:39,740
Crystal Palace. Amazing.
Her mystery of having the
374
00:17:39,740 --> 00:17:43,040
demonic boyfriend haunt her
where her past is her
375
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,020
memories, her coming to
turns with her powers and
376
00:17:46,020 --> 00:17:48,400
growing from that. She
was a good addition to
377
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,060
this because they needed
somebody more modern to
378
00:17:51,060 --> 00:17:52,480
call them on their shit.
Yeah.
379
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,680
And also immortal being
able to see them and help
380
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,260
them with their cases. And,
and right off the bat, you
381
00:17:58,260 --> 00:18:01,540
know, throwing in this
third wheel in essence, you
382
00:18:01,540 --> 00:18:04,680
see how it really mucks
things up for Edwin, right?
383
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:06,400
Charles
is super excited to welcome
384
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,220
her in, maybe has an
attraction to her. Edwin
385
00:18:09,220 --> 00:18:11,340
right away is like, no,
no, no, no, I don't like
386
00:18:11,340 --> 00:18:12,340
you. You
don't need to be here.
387
00:18:12,380 --> 00:18:13,740
We're
fine by ourselves. Right.
388
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:15,660
And we, and at first
you're kind of like, wow,
389
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:17,800
this guy's just being a
kind of prick, but you
390
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:19,960
realize later on why he's
being that way. Yeah.
391
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,720
Edwin was an interesting
character specifically when
392
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:24,880
other people come into the
mix because he's very like,
393
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,900
no, like we're okay. We
do things how we do them
394
00:18:27,900 --> 00:18:30,580
as it goes on. You
start falling in love with
395
00:18:30,580 --> 00:18:33,060
him and you start
understanding why when more
396
00:18:33,060 --> 00:18:35,340
people come into the mix,
I think the more people
397
00:18:35,340 --> 00:18:37,960
that are around, the better
it is for our dead boys.
398
00:18:38,260 --> 00:18:39,380
Definitely.
Yeah. Crystal,
399
00:18:39,980 --> 00:18:42,680
how did you feel about her
as a whole for the, her
400
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:46,100
arc, I should say? I
absolutely loved her. I
401
00:18:46,100 --> 00:18:48,840
think that she was
incredibly powerful, really
402
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,240
smart. I
liked how strong willed she
403
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:55,740
was and how she really was
able to carve her own
404
00:18:55,740 --> 00:18:58,260
path. In
all of these cases, right?
405
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,120
She
is willing to be there for
406
00:19:01,120 --> 00:19:03,720
them, but also take care
of herself. And
407
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:07,940
really a lot of this is
her journey is a lot about
408
00:19:07,940 --> 00:19:12,980
not prescribing to who you
once were and being able
409
00:19:12,980 --> 00:19:16,580
to create a new self when
you had the opportunity. I
410
00:19:16,588 --> 00:19:19,320
mean, even if it was from
supernatural reasons, she
411
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,860
got a clean slate. And
the cool thing about that
412
00:19:21,860 --> 00:19:24,120
is even when she got a
clean slate, she was a
413
00:19:24,120 --> 00:19:26,800
good person. So
it's like you learned how
414
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,240
to be a bad person because
you were just completely
415
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,860
neglected as a child from
your parents. Nature
416
00:19:31,868 --> 00:19:34,420
versus nurture. And
you had these abilities and
417
00:19:34,420 --> 00:19:35,440
you could do whatever you
want. So
418
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:36,880
what are you going to do?
Be
419
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:38,900
a shitty person. And
she was awful. Yeah.
420
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:42,280
People walk into traffic.
Stealing.
421
00:19:43,340 --> 00:19:47,360
Well, the amount she did,
not good, but like, you
422
00:19:47,360 --> 00:19:49,000
know, everybody goes through
that. And
423
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:50,500
you know what though? I
really wasn't expecting
424
00:19:50,500 --> 00:19:52,520
that. It's
interesting that like I
425
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:57,300
really felt her as this
kind, helpful, badass
426
00:19:57,300 --> 00:19:59,900
character. And
to see who that's that's
427
00:19:59,900 --> 00:20:03,920
who she once was, I
thought was it really kind
428
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,040
of flipped it flipped it
for me. Yeah.
429
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:10,120
We have to talk about the
fourth wheel technically in
430
00:20:10,120 --> 00:20:11,500
this. There
is like a kind of fifth
431
00:20:11,500 --> 00:20:12,980
wheel, but not until the
end. Yeah.
432
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,860
But the fourth wheel for
this Niko. Miss
433
00:20:16,860 --> 00:20:19,580
Niko. Just
wants the best for
434
00:20:19,580 --> 00:20:22,120
everyone. Immediately
when you first see her and
435
00:20:22,120 --> 00:20:24,060
all those doodle neon
things around her, it's
436
00:20:24,060 --> 00:20:25,860
like, yeah, we're going to
like her. We're
437
00:20:25,860 --> 00:20:29,140
totally intoxicated from her
glowing thing, which is
438
00:20:29,140 --> 00:20:31,700
actually bad. But
you know, I love looking
439
00:20:31,700 --> 00:20:34,800
at these four together and
you know, Edwin is the
440
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,320
brain, Charles is the
brawn, Crystal is the
441
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,240
mental and Niko is the
emotional. Yeah.
442
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:40,360
She's like the spirit.
Yeah.
443
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,600
So they all come together
to really fill each of
444
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:45,240
these roles within the
agency. And
445
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:49,300
I think that Niko is just
so fun and so quirky,
446
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:50,900
right? And
so we need that because
447
00:20:50,900 --> 00:20:54,520
Edwin is so heavy. Crystal
is dealing with a lot.
448
00:20:55,100 --> 00:20:56,280
Charles
the same. So
449
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,260
when we have Niko come in,
she's in these like
450
00:20:58,260 --> 00:21:01,340
monochromatic outfits. She
has jet black hair that
451
00:21:01,340 --> 00:21:03,300
ends up turning into
platinum blonde. Which
452
00:21:03,300 --> 00:21:05,840
is amazing. You
know, she keeps the
453
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,820
dandelion sprites that
almost made her explode as
454
00:21:08,820 --> 00:21:10,860
pets. So
she's just giving and
455
00:21:10,860 --> 00:21:12,260
delightful in all ways.
Because
456
00:21:12,260 --> 00:21:15,180
you mentioned them, I want
to just take a small
457
00:21:15,180 --> 00:21:19,080
little tiny segue to these
dandelion sprites. They
458
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:25,520
this show was so funny and
like not trying to be
459
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,140
funny. Like
I know they wrote it to
460
00:21:27,140 --> 00:21:29,560
be funny in this way, but
it was so naturally for
461
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,120
these actors and these
characters and sometimes
462
00:21:32,120 --> 00:21:35,040
went further than you would
think. Specifically
463
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,320
with these dandelion
sprites, like the amount of
464
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,040
times they cussed, how many
times they ripped into
465
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:44,640
these people is amazing. It
was so funny. Hilarious.
466
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,820
So their names are Liddy
and Kingham and they're and
467
00:21:47,820 --> 00:21:49,760
they are played by comics.
And
468
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,380
so you'll all know Liddy
played by Caitlin Riley.
469
00:21:52,660 --> 00:21:53,840
She
is like a super famous
470
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:57,260
TikToker. She's
on Dropout TV. She's
471
00:21:57,260 --> 00:21:59,080
the girl that's going to
be okay. Yeah.
472
00:21:59,220 --> 00:22:04,040
You know that girl. And
so this unexpected, I mean,
473
00:22:04,100 --> 00:22:07,600
they're in these like, I
can't like what country
474
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,440
gnome outfits with these
dandelion hats. Like,
475
00:22:10,980 --> 00:22:14,100
and they are just foul
mouth bitches. They
476
00:22:14,100 --> 00:22:16,820
are not sprites in any
good sense of the word.
477
00:22:17,420 --> 00:22:19,000
Dandelion,
no wishes. They're
478
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,560
here to make your
nightmares come true. And
479
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,920
it was so unexpected, but
hilarious. I
480
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:28,220
love it anytime that Nico,
because then the first
481
00:22:28,220 --> 00:22:29,900
couple of episodes where
Nico was there, she kind
482
00:22:29,900 --> 00:22:32,020
of stayed back a little
bit before venturing out
483
00:22:32,020 --> 00:22:34,960
with them. And
they would be like in the
484
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:36,260
jar. We're
like, Oh, are you staying
485
00:22:36,260 --> 00:22:38,680
here because nobody likes
you? Yeah.
486
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:40,520
And as it, because you
smell like trout or
487
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:44,679
whatever they said, salmon
breath, like ridiculous. So
488
00:22:44,679 --> 00:22:46,040
funny. I
loved them. And
489
00:22:46,048 --> 00:22:49,080
I hope, I mean, I think
by the end, we see her
490
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:53,080
with them somewhere. So
I'm hoping we get more of
491
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,260
them. And
my question is, are they
492
00:22:56,260 --> 00:22:58,640
her size or is she their
size? That's
493
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,560
the big question. Right.
But she was holding. That's
494
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,440
true. But
did it shrink with her?
495
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,220
Did
that shrink? Is
496
00:23:05,220 --> 00:23:07,020
she in a snow globe? How
small is that igloo? Is
497
00:23:07,020 --> 00:23:10,140
she in a snow globe? What
is the Aurora barry owls?
498
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:11,760
Is
it just LED lights? That's
499
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,040
a spoiler. We
just spoiled the literal
500
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,600
last scene of the entire
first season. So
501
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:20,240
sorry about that. I
think we should kind of
502
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,980
maybe jump into some of
our other really cool side
503
00:23:22,980 --> 00:23:25,520
characters. Yeah,
yeah, we'll get into bigger
504
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,240
themes, but I feel like we
can't not mention some of
505
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,020
these characters. So
I want to talk about
506
00:23:30,020 --> 00:23:32,580
Esther Finch, who is our
witch. Okay.
507
00:23:32,980 --> 00:23:34,700
She is a big part in this
season. Oh
508
00:23:34,700 --> 00:23:38,020
my. Again,
this is unexpected comedy.
509
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:39,860
Holy
smokes. I
510
00:23:39,860 --> 00:23:42,500
don't know. So
Jen Lyon plays Esther Finch
511
00:23:42,500 --> 00:23:47,140
and she somehow marries an
evil witch, Jennifer
512
00:23:47,140 --> 00:23:49,360
Coolidge, and a Valley
girl. Like
513
00:23:49,360 --> 00:23:52,280
what? Yeah.
It doesn't make sense, but
514
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,200
it's so well done. It's
so good. Oh
515
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,360
man. It's
like just the gold that
516
00:23:58,360 --> 00:23:59,400
was shooting out of her
mouth. And
517
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,280
within the same sentence,
she could be horrifically
518
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:05,320
menacing and also hilarious.
Yeah.
519
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,060
It's when she was like
saying lines to cut them
520
00:24:09,060 --> 00:24:11,680
down or doing great clap
backs and then just having
521
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,820
a demonic voice in that
same sentence by the end.
522
00:24:14,900 --> 00:24:16,860
It's
like, she's amazing. And
523
00:24:16,860 --> 00:24:18,880
I love the links that she
would go. The
524
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,280
cool thing about the show
is like, there's a lot of
525
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,180
rules and there's a lot of
way supernatural stuff
526
00:24:23,180 --> 00:24:26,720
works. And
once they lay out like,
527
00:24:26,980 --> 00:24:29,280
okay, they can travel by
mirrors, like as they can
528
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,580
go through things, people
near death experiences can
529
00:24:31,580 --> 00:24:35,120
see ghosts. Once
that's done, it's whatever
530
00:24:35,120 --> 00:24:38,480
happens happens. Like
we're familiar enough with
531
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,760
witches and like what they
do to where, oh yeah, of
532
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:45,000
course, she turned her crow
familiar into a boy to
533
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:49,120
lure the gay boy, dead boy
to her. There's
534
00:24:49,120 --> 00:24:53,140
a lot of gay cat and
mouse love triangle things
535
00:24:53,140 --> 00:24:54,200
happening through this.
Which
536
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:58,120
I fully support. But
her story was actually by
537
00:24:58,120 --> 00:25:00,680
the end got, I was
engrossed in her story. I
538
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,560
wanted to see how this
would go and where it was
539
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,580
going to go. Her
making the pact with
540
00:25:05,580 --> 00:25:09,320
Lilith, her taking down her
husband and the husband
541
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,300
lover. It
was very interesting story
542
00:25:11,300 --> 00:25:13,360
and she's been there since
the town was founded. It's
543
00:25:13,360 --> 00:25:15,280
just really cool. One
of my favorite things that
544
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,900
they did and they did it
twice in this is that when
545
00:25:17,900 --> 00:25:21,440
they tell back stories,
they go to animation.
546
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:22,580
Different
types of animation.
547
00:25:22,580 --> 00:25:23,580
Different
types of animation, which I
548
00:25:23,580 --> 00:25:26,680
thought was really clever
and it didn't pull me out
549
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,820
of it at all. It
just like kind of took us
550
00:25:29,820 --> 00:25:32,340
out of this real world and
brought us into this
551
00:25:32,340 --> 00:25:34,000
animated world to tell it.
And
552
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:35,920
I was like, oh, that was
really smartly done. I
553
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:37,260
enjoyed that. Yeah,
they did it with her and
554
00:25:37,260 --> 00:25:39,780
they did it with tragic
Mick, which is another
555
00:25:39,780 --> 00:25:43,220
fantastic character, a
walrus man that is now a
556
00:25:43,220 --> 00:25:44,900
human and stuck this way.
And
557
00:25:44,900 --> 00:25:46,900
owns a magical trinket
shop. Yeah,
558
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,400
tragic Mick's. He
is there for all of their
559
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,020
spooky needs. He's
delightful. I
560
00:25:52,020 --> 00:25:53,620
really loved him. And
these are the things that
561
00:25:53,620 --> 00:25:55,720
I really love about these
types of shows where it's
562
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,280
like you have a community
of people that these people
563
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,580
keep going to for things
that only know about that
564
00:26:01,580 --> 00:26:04,000
side of the world that
they're dealing with. It's
565
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,380
just a really cool feeling
like, you know, it's still
566
00:26:06,380 --> 00:26:09,020
a secret, but like you're
letting people in, you're
567
00:26:09,020 --> 00:26:10,720
seeing how that world
works. It's
568
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,180
a lot of fun. One
of the interesting things
569
00:26:13,180 --> 00:26:17,580
about this as a whole was
the setting, the fact that
570
00:26:17,580 --> 00:26:20,640
they are British, their
headquarters are in London,
571
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,800
but the almost entire first
season takes place in
572
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,200
Washington. Yeah,
it's like in state. Yeah,
573
00:26:26,340 --> 00:26:28,100
that was like so unexpected
to me. Yeah,
574
00:26:28,140 --> 00:26:31,360
it was it's bizarre, but I
like it because then they
575
00:26:31,360 --> 00:26:34,740
didn't kind of do it. It
made it more, I don't
576
00:26:34,740 --> 00:26:37,280
know, how do I put this?
Like
577
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:41,120
it made it feel more
purposeful with the reasons
578
00:26:41,120 --> 00:26:42,600
why they were there, right?
I
579
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,540
think it was really smart
for having the cat king,
580
00:26:44,660 --> 00:26:46,960
keeping him there. So
it created this long thing
581
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,760
of like, okay, he needs to
find a way to get out of
582
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:51,820
this town. But
while they're doing that,
583
00:26:51,940 --> 00:26:53,660
there's still cases
happening. It
584
00:26:53,660 --> 00:26:56,060
was smart to do it that
way. And
585
00:26:56,060 --> 00:26:58,820
I think it felt like it
solidified them as an
586
00:26:58,820 --> 00:27:01,980
agency who has to travel
to solve cases. You
587
00:27:01,980 --> 00:27:03,660
know, not everything's going
to happen just here in,
588
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:04,940
you know, foggy London.
Yeah,
589
00:27:04,940 --> 00:27:07,240
they just went to another
foggy place. Yeah,
590
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:08,580
they went to Washington.
Can
591
00:27:08,580 --> 00:27:10,740
we talk about the cat king
for like two seconds?
592
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,620
Surely.
Lucas Cage plans the cat
593
00:27:14,620 --> 00:27:17,520
king the second that he
was on screen. I
594
00:27:17,528 --> 00:27:20,320
was like, okay, okay, he's
being a little he's selling
595
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,240
sex. He's
doing the cat and mouse
596
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:25,000
game. And
then seeing him and Edwin
597
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,580
and just Edwin's like
repressed slash not coming
598
00:27:28,580 --> 00:27:31,480
to turns with his sexuality
and just like wanting to
599
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,340
lean into it, but doesn't
with heartbreaking and also
600
00:27:34,340 --> 00:27:38,180
really cool that they
showed that even for a
601
00:27:38,180 --> 00:27:40,720
dead boy. Yeah,
I think it was so
602
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,240
interesting right in that
first episode when we see
603
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:46,420
the cat king really coming
on to Edwin and you're
604
00:27:46,420 --> 00:27:48,960
kind of expecting Edwin to
lean into it to
605
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:52,340
reciprocate, but he can't.
And
606
00:27:52,340 --> 00:27:53,940
so as the viewer, you're
like, whoa, they're getting
607
00:27:53,940 --> 00:27:56,300
right into it, you know,
and the cat king, I think
608
00:27:56,300 --> 00:27:58,520
is expecting him to do the
same. But
609
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:03,220
Edwin has these blinders on
where he can't even admit
610
00:28:03,220 --> 00:28:05,340
that or come to terms with
it. He's
611
00:28:05,340 --> 00:28:07,560
never kissed before. He
doesn't know what to do
612
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:09,640
with these feelings that he
has. I
613
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:11,900
mean, but even if you
haven't kissed, you know
614
00:28:11,900 --> 00:28:15,500
what's going on. Yeah,
like, I do like that they
615
00:28:15,500 --> 00:28:19,540
added the updated story
that they that Boy to
616
00:28:19,540 --> 00:28:22,300
Texas recently had with the
potential romance between
617
00:28:22,300 --> 00:28:24,580
the two boys. And
the series, it turns out,
618
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,660
yes, Edwin does love
Charles and Charles, he's
619
00:28:27,660 --> 00:28:29,620
like, we have time to
figure this out. I
620
00:28:29,620 --> 00:28:31,480
don't know if I love you
that way, but we have
621
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:33,440
time. And
in the end, it does sound
622
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,500
like we're better off as
friends. But
623
00:28:36,500 --> 00:28:38,840
the cool thing about that
and the great thing about
624
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:41,600
their relationship is that
Charles doesn't hate him,
625
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:43,420
doesn't think it's gross.
It's
626
00:28:43,420 --> 00:28:46,700
like, thanks. Yeah,
I don't feel that way for
627
00:28:46,700 --> 00:28:49,640
you, but like we can keep
talking about this. Yes.
628
00:28:49,820 --> 00:28:51,400
But we're friends still.
Also,
629
00:28:51,500 --> 00:28:54,020
we're trying to escape hell
in this moment that you're
630
00:28:54,020 --> 00:28:56,420
admitting that. Well,
yes, there are bigger
631
00:28:56,420 --> 00:28:59,920
things happening. But
I think it's I like this
632
00:28:59,920 --> 00:29:03,160
a lot because the will
they won't they I'm kind
633
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:07,080
of fine with it happening
and I'm also fine with it
634
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,380
not happening. I
think I'm fine with it
635
00:29:09,380 --> 00:29:13,940
more not happening only
only for the sense of
636
00:29:13,940 --> 00:29:16,480
like, you know that if
these two protagonists
637
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,880
started like smooching that
they would find some reason
638
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,320
to drive away. Yeah.
And it's like, I love them
639
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,140
so much together and they
love each other so much
640
00:29:25,140 --> 00:29:27,360
and not even death can
bring him apart. I
641
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:31,560
don't want some written way
to drive a wedge between.
642
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:33,960
Yeah.
And I think that apparently
643
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:37,360
Edwin, no matter where he
goes, is just going to
644
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,480
have people chasing after
him, no matter what. So
645
00:29:40,488 --> 00:29:44,160
he'll be fine. But
I, I agree that I would
646
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,160
rather it not work out
because one of the things
647
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:50,560
that I really love is. So
let's say that Edwin, you
648
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:52,440
know what? Let's
just say regardless of
649
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:54,440
their sexualities, they are
not interested in each
650
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,020
other in a relationship
way. I
651
00:29:57,020 --> 00:30:01,320
love watching a very
healthy male male
652
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:06,140
friendship, which entails
things like saying I love
653
00:30:06,140 --> 00:30:09,820
you, which entails things
like hugging each other and
654
00:30:09,820 --> 00:30:12,440
holding each other and
going to hell for each
655
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:14,380
other. Exactly.
Risking your life for each
656
00:30:14,380 --> 00:30:16,760
other. And
I, I think that we see,
657
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:20,940
you know, female
representing relationships of
658
00:30:20,940 --> 00:30:23,780
friendship like that. That's
so easy hugging and holding
659
00:30:23,780 --> 00:30:26,420
hands and laying in bed
together and talking. And
660
00:30:26,420 --> 00:30:28,760
we rarely see that between
two male presenting
661
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:31,440
characters. And
so I really loved that. I
662
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,640
loved seeing that. And,
you know, this is like way
663
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,860
out of the realm, but it's
also a Netflix thing. One
664
00:30:36,860 --> 00:30:39,220
of the things I love about
queer eyes so much is that
665
00:30:39,220 --> 00:30:43,780
these five queer people are
they hold hands. They
666
00:30:43,780 --> 00:30:45,880
hug each other. And
so this kind of takes it
667
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,980
to another level where, you
know, with a friend who
668
00:30:48,980 --> 00:30:51,540
maybe won't have the same
sexuality as you or
669
00:30:51,540 --> 00:30:54,560
identity as you, you could
still do that as well.
670
00:30:54,740 --> 00:30:56,600
Yeah.
And that's a beauty of, I
671
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:59,000
know Neil Gaiman worked on
this series as well and a
672
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:02,020
writer and some capacity
and like producer. And
673
00:31:02,020 --> 00:31:03,560
that's one of the things
that I love about Neil
674
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,860
Gaiman's work is even back
when Sandman was being
675
00:31:06,860 --> 00:31:09,660
written 30 plus years ago.
I
676
00:31:09,660 --> 00:31:11,560
mean, they had trans
characters. They
677
00:31:11,568 --> 00:31:13,240
had non -binary characters.
They
678
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:15,400
had all of these things.
And
679
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:17,080
I love that. And
I think that's why I've
680
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:19,020
always gravitated towards
his work because he was
681
00:31:19,020 --> 00:31:21,820
never afraid to show those
types of relationships or
682
00:31:21,820 --> 00:31:24,660
conversations. And
I love that it still shows
683
00:31:24,660 --> 00:31:26,600
through with this. And
I think it was to the
684
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,580
benefit of this series to
be inclusive with a lot of
685
00:31:29,580 --> 00:31:32,840
different people, races,
sexuality, relationships and
686
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,140
all of that. And
even different types of
687
00:31:35,140 --> 00:31:38,000
people. You
know, we got the main four
688
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,340
who are very different
types. But
689
00:31:40,340 --> 00:31:42,020
you know who my favorite
is? Out
690
00:31:42,020 --> 00:31:44,800
of all of them. Our
butcher babe. Jenny.
691
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:49,440
I love her. I
love her tattoos. I
692
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:52,460
love that she has this
bespoke butcher shop
693
00:31:52,460 --> 00:31:55,940
randomly there. Tongue
and tail. Is
694
00:31:55,940 --> 00:31:56,440
that what it was called?
Yeah,
695
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:58,260
that's what it's called.
It's
696
00:31:58,260 --> 00:32:00,040
amazing. And
I love that part way
697
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,600
through this series. We
actually see Crystal wearing
698
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:04,360
a tongue and tail t -shirt.
Oh,
699
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:06,280
that's what it. Okay.
I didn't realize that was
700
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:07,280
the name of the shop.
Yeah.
701
00:32:07,340 --> 00:32:08,540
That makes a lot of sense.
I
702
00:32:08,540 --> 00:32:09,840
love it. She's
got the merch. And
703
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,500
I love her as a character
because she didn't really
704
00:32:12,500 --> 00:32:15,900
ask any questions to help
these girls. And
705
00:32:15,900 --> 00:32:19,260
the thing that I like
about her as far as this
706
00:32:19,260 --> 00:32:22,420
season goes is we don't
know much about her, but
707
00:32:22,420 --> 00:32:25,360
we know enough about her
where I want more. And
708
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,060
it does seem like she's
going to still be around.
709
00:32:27,300 --> 00:32:28,600
She
should be around the second
710
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,220
season. But
she let these high
711
00:32:31,220 --> 00:32:33,220
schoolers and and she was
like, as long as you pay
712
00:32:33,220 --> 00:32:35,280
the rent, I'm not going to
ask questions. But
713
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:38,440
towards the end of it and
as it's going, she does
714
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:41,120
care for them. So
it makes you think, what
715
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,600
did she go through exactly
in this position? I
716
00:32:43,608 --> 00:32:46,900
think that both in Nico
and Crystal, she sees a
717
00:32:46,900 --> 00:32:48,440
little bit of herself in
them. And
718
00:32:48,448 --> 00:32:51,120
we don't know her story
yet. We
719
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:53,340
don't know her past, but
she's dropped little hints,
720
00:32:53,460 --> 00:32:55,060
right? So
we know that this is a
721
00:32:55,060 --> 00:32:57,800
family owned business. She
sort of inherited it. She's
722
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,260
been running it, which is
a butcher shop where she's
723
00:33:00,260 --> 00:33:02,280
just always jumping things
up and throwing scraps in
724
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:03,900
the back. Her
walking around with that
725
00:33:03,900 --> 00:33:04,880
meat cleaver all the time.
I
726
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:05,860
love her in that way.
Covered
727
00:33:05,860 --> 00:33:08,040
in blood. Right.
There was one point where
728
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:11,320
like she wasn't even really
in the butcher shop and
729
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:13,060
she was wearing a shirt
with like blood on it. And
730
00:33:13,060 --> 00:33:14,060
I'm like, I love this.
That's
731
00:33:14,060 --> 00:33:15,880
such smart detail, right?
As
732
00:33:15,888 --> 00:33:17,680
far as the costume
designers concerned, that is
733
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:18,980
so good. It's
so good. And
734
00:33:18,980 --> 00:33:23,880
I think that she, we also
see, OK, so there's a
735
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:27,560
librarian in it. And
at first I was like, yay,
736
00:33:27,780 --> 00:33:30,060
a librarian. And
then I was like, oh, no,
737
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,700
no, not good, not a
librarian. But
738
00:33:33,700 --> 00:33:37,180
before the librarian
happens, there's a secret
739
00:33:37,180 --> 00:33:40,320
admirer of Gage. And
she wants it to just stay
740
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:43,160
that way because it almost
feels like the intimacy of
741
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,720
meeting the person face to
face would be too much. I
742
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,940
think she knows what can
come when things get too
743
00:33:48,940 --> 00:33:50,900
real. And
that's her. Yeah.
744
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:54,080
Or murder, whichever one
happens. You
745
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:57,300
know, slippery butcher
floors. I
746
00:33:57,308 --> 00:33:59,640
should be talking about
like what our favorite
747
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,040
episode is or like standout
episodes. Yeah,
748
00:34:02,060 --> 00:34:04,800
sure. OK.
Do you go first? What
749
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:08,060
is like your favorite
episode or case? Whichever
750
00:34:08,060 --> 00:34:09,780
one you want to. So
I'm going to do the case
751
00:34:09,780 --> 00:34:12,520
and it's the case of the
Devlin house. Mine
752
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:13,800
too. Is
it really? Yeah.
753
00:34:14,100 --> 00:34:18,760
So I over the last, I
would say, eight months
754
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:21,980
have started devouring true
crime. And
755
00:34:21,980 --> 00:34:26,260
this episode felt very true
crime, super true crime,
756
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,400
right? What
caused the father to snap
757
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:34,219
to hack his family? Oh,
that I didn't care about.
758
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:35,679
Like
I cared about it, but I
759
00:34:35,679 --> 00:34:38,520
was just like, yeah, that's
not standard, but it's like
760
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:41,580
it's a true crime thing,
right? Them
761
00:34:41,580 --> 00:34:45,980
in a loop, terrifying,
devastating, so well done.
762
00:34:45,980 --> 00:34:49,560
It
was it was that familiar
763
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:52,780
true crime feeling, but
with this extra supernatural
764
00:34:52,780 --> 00:34:55,420
twist on it. Yeah.
And just made it so sad.
765
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:56,460
That's
the thing that was really
766
00:34:56,460 --> 00:34:59,740
cool about all of these
cases is that even though
767
00:34:59,740 --> 00:35:01,500
they can kind of be a
little goofy, like the
768
00:35:01,500 --> 00:35:04,000
angler fish is like kind
of goofy. The
769
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,040
lighthouse leapers. But
having those lighthouse
770
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:08,980
leapers here, their loved
ones in some way is tragic
771
00:35:08,980 --> 00:35:11,200
and they just fall to
their death. And
772
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:14,160
so in this, it's like
they've been going and
773
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:18,540
dying for 30 years over
and over in a loop and
774
00:35:18,540 --> 00:35:20,540
like having them try to
figure it out. And
775
00:35:20,540 --> 00:35:22,900
then Charles getting put
into a loop and it was
776
00:35:22,900 --> 00:35:25,300
just such a well done
episode. And
777
00:35:25,300 --> 00:35:28,160
it was episode three. I
feel like I was sold in
778
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:29,800
the first episode that
episode three. I
779
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:32,440
was like, oh, they're going
to do some interesting
780
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:34,600
stuff. Yeah.
That's when I felt
781
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:37,820
incredibly dark, right? And
so. And
782
00:35:37,820 --> 00:35:39,520
that's when I loved it.
First
783
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:42,520
of all, not to be the guy
that's going to be 40 next
784
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:45,660
year, but the fact that 30
years ago was like 90
785
00:35:45,660 --> 00:35:49,320
something is like, oh,
cool. You
786
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:51,260
know, whatever I think 30
years ago, I'm like the
787
00:35:51,260 --> 00:35:53,880
70s. But
not at all. But
788
00:35:53,888 --> 00:35:57,760
this also so in this
episode, things are really
789
00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:00,140
ramping up, right? So
we're watching this father
790
00:36:00,140 --> 00:36:04,160
acts his family to death
and then, you know, spoiler
791
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:07,280
alert, we see Charles get
stuck in the loop himself.
792
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,820
So
now Edwin and Crystal, who
793
00:36:09,820 --> 00:36:12,000
have not been getting along
this entire time, have to
794
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:13,660
figure out what's going on.
But
795
00:36:13,660 --> 00:36:18,500
then on top of that, they
introduce the misery wraith,
796
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,540
which is like this
backwards upside down
797
00:36:21,540 --> 00:36:25,320
crawling flesh mummy. No.
Yeah, feeds off a misery.
798
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:27,540
Oh
my God. It
799
00:36:27,540 --> 00:36:30,800
was so much happening. I
loved it. I
800
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:34,100
was like, I will say, if
you haven't watched it and
801
00:36:34,100 --> 00:36:35,940
you're listening to this to
like figure out if you
802
00:36:35,940 --> 00:36:39,440
want to watch it. Watch
it in a dark room. That's
803
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:42,780
like my main critique with
this is that if you watch
804
00:36:42,780 --> 00:36:45,180
it during the day and you
have like light in the
805
00:36:45,180 --> 00:36:48,180
room, it is hard to see
what's going on. And
806
00:36:48,180 --> 00:36:49,660
that's just the nature of
the show. It's
807
00:36:49,660 --> 00:36:52,560
a dark show and it a lot
of stuff happens at night.
808
00:36:53,820 --> 00:36:55,300
That
scene in particular was
809
00:36:55,300 --> 00:36:57,560
awesome. Like
I love horror and I love
810
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:00,060
these types of things. So
adding that on top of like
811
00:37:00,060 --> 00:37:01,540
all this character
development, all this
812
00:37:01,540 --> 00:37:03,380
queerness and all of that.
Oh,
813
00:37:04,060 --> 00:37:05,940
I send the cake. Yeah.
Yeah. I
814
00:37:05,940 --> 00:37:08,100
also think another really
great episode was episode
815
00:37:08,100 --> 00:37:11,280
seven, the case of the
very long stairway. So
816
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:14,540
this is when we really see
the true power of their
817
00:37:14,540 --> 00:37:17,240
friendship. Penelope.
The penelope. Oh,
818
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:21,320
it's a penelope. But
I loved when they were in
819
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:26,640
hell and to get to well
to find Charles, excuse me
820
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:31,000
to find Edwin, Charles has
to go through the seven
821
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,680
deadly sins. So
the different layers of
822
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:36,160
hell. Yes.
And so he's in gluttony.
823
00:37:36,420 --> 00:37:37,560
He's
in lust. He
824
00:37:37,567 --> 00:37:40,380
it's avarice. Oh
man, that was really
825
00:37:40,380 --> 00:37:41,900
freaky. It's
really cool. I'm
826
00:37:41,900 --> 00:37:43,980
very curious. I'm
not sure if they mentioned
827
00:37:43,980 --> 00:37:45,420
it. I
might have missed it in
828
00:37:45,420 --> 00:37:48,220
the Saman comic during the
seasons of the mist and
829
00:37:48,220 --> 00:37:52,140
how they get introduced is
dream going down to hell
830
00:37:52,140 --> 00:37:54,760
to convert Lucifer. It's
a long big thing.
831
00:37:55,140 --> 00:37:57,000
Essentially,
it leads to Lucifer
832
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:00,900
abdicating and being like,
I'm done. I'm
833
00:38:00,900 --> 00:38:03,480
closing hell. I
let all the spirits and
834
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:06,040
everything go back up. I'm
done. Here's
835
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:08,660
the key dream. Goodbye.
Cut my wings off. And
836
00:38:08,660 --> 00:38:10,340
that's how we got the
Lucifer comic and all of
837
00:38:10,340 --> 00:38:13,680
that. I'm
not sure if that's happened
838
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:16,360
in this. It'd
be interesting to see if
839
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:19,740
it does happen. That's
kind of why Edwin is up
840
00:38:19,740 --> 00:38:20,960
there. That's
kind of why Charles is
841
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:22,820
like, that's why there's a
lot of spirits. And
842
00:38:22,820 --> 00:38:25,900
because of that, that's
actually how Charles dies
843
00:38:25,900 --> 00:38:28,000
because in the boarding
school, there's a bunch of
844
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:31,300
spirits killing people and
it's all the stuff. So
845
00:38:31,300 --> 00:38:34,020
to see them actually in
hell and like going through
846
00:38:34,020 --> 00:38:36,400
all this stuff was cool
because I didn't expect it.
847
00:38:36,420 --> 00:38:37,500
I
didn't expect it to be
848
00:38:37,500 --> 00:38:40,140
populated. Like
when they went down there,
849
00:38:40,180 --> 00:38:42,300
I was like, oh, did
Lucifer not abdicate yet?
850
00:38:42,740 --> 00:38:44,200
Yes.
That's interesting. Where
851
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:46,580
in the timeline of the
Sandiverse is this
852
00:38:46,580 --> 00:38:48,620
happening? I've
named it the Sandiverse.
853
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:52,840
Netflix.
Get on it. There's
854
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:55,000
gonna be like the game and
galaxy or something like
855
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,960
that. I
also thought another
856
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:00,280
interesting detail of this
episode. So
857
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:05,960
the reason that Edwin ends
up in hell is that these
858
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:08,620
other boys in the boarding
school sort of they
859
00:39:08,620 --> 00:39:10,300
sacrifice him to a demon.
He
860
00:39:10,300 --> 00:39:14,940
gets pulled into hell. But
he meets the lead boy who
861
00:39:14,940 --> 00:39:16,540
did it in this episode.
And
862
00:39:16,540 --> 00:39:20,100
there's this really
interesting conversation that
863
00:39:20,100 --> 00:39:23,820
happens where we learn that
this other boy actually had
864
00:39:23,820 --> 00:39:27,060
a crush on Edwin. And
it made me feel - He wrote
865
00:39:27,060 --> 00:39:29,700
their initials on the
little margin of his book.
866
00:39:29,740 --> 00:39:30,620
Of
the book. Yeah.
867
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:35,240
And it really moved me
because it made me feel
868
00:39:35,240 --> 00:39:40,740
like, you know, how many
young people fear who they
869
00:39:40,740 --> 00:39:44,900
truly are and resort to
things that are unhealthy
870
00:39:44,900 --> 00:39:47,760
because they're afraid. To
express it to the world of
871
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:49,060
what others might think.
Right.
872
00:39:49,340 --> 00:39:54,360
And so to see Edwin see
this who has been sort of
873
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,960
trying to figure out who
he is and what he feels,
874
00:39:57,020 --> 00:40:01,140
it really like opened up
his eyes to say we were
875
00:40:01,140 --> 00:40:04,040
the same. Right.
He forgave him in no way
876
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:06,780
for that. Right.
And it's funny that the
877
00:40:06,780 --> 00:40:09,380
demon that he ended up
taking him to hell forgave
878
00:40:09,380 --> 00:40:11,440
him before he forgave the
person that ultimately
879
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:14,440
killed him. It's
sad, but it's something
880
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:17,440
that I think not many
people think about. It's
881
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:20,100
like, oh, that person's
bullied because they're gay.
882
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:22,520
It's
like, well, is the bullying
883
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:24,340
bullying them because
they're also not
884
00:40:24,340 --> 00:40:26,740
comfortable. Because
they feel like they can't
885
00:40:26,740 --> 00:40:28,560
talk about it or be that
way. So
886
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:30,940
they're bullying somebody
that they like or see that
887
00:40:30,940 --> 00:40:34,500
can be able to express
themselves. It's
888
00:40:34,500 --> 00:40:36,520
an important thing. And
I think they did it really
889
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:38,440
well. And
if you weren't paying
890
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:41,660
attention, you know, you
might miss the very
891
00:40:41,660 --> 00:40:43,380
important. You
know what I mean? Like
892
00:40:43,388 --> 00:40:46,380
him seeing his initials on
there like, oh, that's
893
00:40:46,380 --> 00:40:48,620
devastating. And
then on the flip seeing
894
00:40:48,620 --> 00:40:50,480
Charles, because there's
almost mirror each other in
895
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:52,220
a way. And
you know, Charles's father
896
00:40:52,220 --> 00:40:54,040
is very abusive, beat him
and his mother and
897
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:56,900
everything. And
no matter how much good he
898
00:40:56,900 --> 00:40:59,440
tried to do it, it ended
up killing him. And
899
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:02,800
just because somebody was
from a different place like
900
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:05,520
him and he tried to defend
him from his friends, ended
901
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:07,920
up killing him. And
so it's another thing of
902
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:11,100
like, oh, the bullies felt
bad for bullying somebody
903
00:41:11,100 --> 00:41:13,240
lesser than them. So
they bullied their friend.
904
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:17,800
It's
just that's like the one
905
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:19,800
of the things that draws
people to these stories
906
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:23,020
specifically the dead boys
is that. Yes,
907
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:25,600
it's like fun and scary
and all that stuff. And
908
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:26,960
then when you get to the
root of it, it's like,
909
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:29,020
it's sad and it's kind of
tragic and these in its
910
00:41:29,020 --> 00:41:30,420
people going through these
things. So
911
00:41:30,420 --> 00:41:33,500
it has this heaviness to
it that I think they
912
00:41:33,500 --> 00:41:35,900
handled really well in the
show. Yeah,
913
00:41:36,100 --> 00:41:40,640
it's it's I like that it
is exploration of humanity
914
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:43,420
through dead boys. Yeah.
Right. It's
915
00:41:43,420 --> 00:41:46,740
like only those who have
passed on can truly see
916
00:41:46,740 --> 00:41:49,060
what humans are struggling
with. Yeah.
917
00:41:49,540 --> 00:41:52,260
Yeah. And
I think it's a fun way to
918
00:41:52,260 --> 00:41:53,500
explore that kind of thing.
And
919
00:41:53,500 --> 00:41:56,640
it almost makes us able to
accept that and listen to
920
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:58,660
it more because it's like
they're already dead. You
921
00:41:58,660 --> 00:42:01,320
know, it's not a living
person telling us. They've
922
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:03,000
been through it. They
have regrets. They've
923
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:07,740
seen the other side. Do
you have a favorite side
924
00:42:07,740 --> 00:42:09,920
character from here? Not
the main cast. The
925
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:11,620
main cast, I would say is
the five. The
926
00:42:11,620 --> 00:42:13,240
five. Yeah.
Oh, wow. Yeah.
927
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:16,480
So I think like of the
five, I'm really gravitate
928
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:19,180
towards Nico. But
of course, I will say that
929
00:42:19,180 --> 00:42:22,240
I think my favorite side
character is actually the
930
00:42:22,240 --> 00:42:24,460
witch. Can
you guess who my favorite
931
00:42:24,460 --> 00:42:28,540
is? I'm
going to say, oh my God.
932
00:42:28,780 --> 00:42:30,580
Okay.
Is it someone that we
933
00:42:30,580 --> 00:42:33,560
haven't talked about? Yeah.
Is it the night nurse?
934
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:34,820
Yeah.
I knew it. Yeah.
935
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:37,920
And it's not because of my
love of supernatural. She
936
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:41,000
played Crowley's mother, the
most powerful witch in the
937
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:42,340
series. You
know, not because of that,
938
00:42:42,460 --> 00:42:44,780
mostly because of that.
She's
939
00:42:44,780 --> 00:42:47,240
amazing. I
love her so much. Ruth
940
00:42:47,240 --> 00:42:50,900
Connell, she was such an
interesting character. And
941
00:42:50,900 --> 00:42:54,360
I love in these like death
stories where we have like
942
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:56,700
these different
organizations, these
943
00:42:56,700 --> 00:42:58,880
different offices. There's
always bureaucracy. There
944
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:01,140
is. If
you, Neil Gaiman, Good
945
00:43:01,140 --> 00:43:03,540
Omens, same thing. Yeah.
They have different levels
946
00:43:03,540 --> 00:43:05,540
of management. They
have all, it's just such a
947
00:43:05,540 --> 00:43:08,680
fun way to tell this. And
her department is so
948
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:10,180
interesting. The
Lost and Found department.
949
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:11,560
Lost
and Found is specifically
950
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:13,580
for children trying to
place them where they're
951
00:43:13,580 --> 00:43:15,820
supposed to go. She
went through an interesting
952
00:43:15,820 --> 00:43:19,980
arc, but I love that in
the end, she's forced to
953
00:43:19,980 --> 00:43:22,280
be with the dead boys. And
it's going to have an
954
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:24,220
interesting dynamic with
them. But
955
00:43:24,220 --> 00:43:27,960
I think we need it because
Edwin has been softened a
956
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:30,140
little bit. And
he's like coming into his
957
00:43:30,140 --> 00:43:36,580
sexuality, be that bisexual
or fully homosexual. I
958
00:43:36,580 --> 00:43:39,580
think we need it with her,
like her quips, her hating
959
00:43:39,580 --> 00:43:42,620
them. We'll
see if she gets softened a
960
00:43:42,620 --> 00:43:45,120
little bit. You
know, or maybe she'll just
961
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:48,220
always be stodgy no matter
what and resent them for
962
00:43:48,220 --> 00:43:51,520
eternity. I
love that. Yeah,
963
00:43:51,620 --> 00:43:54,240
I do too. I
think that having, they
964
00:43:54,240 --> 00:43:56,200
really did grow a lot.
These
965
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:59,940
characters in this. And
so I'm curious to see them
966
00:43:59,940 --> 00:44:02,720
taking what they've learned
now into the next season.
967
00:44:02,740 --> 00:44:03,980
And
I really hope we do get a
968
00:44:03,980 --> 00:44:07,080
next season. You
know, I know that we love
969
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:10,100
a lot of things, but this
was like intoxicatingly
970
00:44:10,100 --> 00:44:12,100
good. Yeah.
And it was something where
971
00:44:12,100 --> 00:44:15,220
I feel like you don't need
to read the comic. Like
972
00:44:15,220 --> 00:44:16,800
you should. I
feel like you should read
973
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:18,800
the comics. There's
an omnibus of the dead boy
974
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:21,180
detectives. There's
not, they haven't had many
975
00:44:21,180 --> 00:44:24,080
comics. So
they've collected them in
976
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:26,000
an omnibus. I
recommend it if you're
977
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:29,440
going to read it. But
I feel like it's something
978
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:33,800
where everybody can
understand it without having
979
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:34,960
all this prior knowledge.
Right.
980
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:36,640
Because, you know, we're in
the world of like these
981
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:39,400
huge IPs and like Marvel
comics. You
982
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:41,660
have to have read the
entire history of Marvel to
983
00:44:41,660 --> 00:44:43,760
even just get this one
Easter egg. With
984
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:46,540
this, it's, it's fun to
just have fun with the
985
00:44:46,540 --> 00:44:49,160
series and let it teach
you the lessons it's trying
986
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:52,180
to. Yes.
You can, you can very
987
00:44:52,180 --> 00:44:55,880
easily learn the world and
the universe just by
988
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:58,260
watching it. And
I just feel like it's done
989
00:44:58,260 --> 00:45:01,120
really well. The
sets are amazing. The
990
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:02,460
costume design is wonderful.
The
991
00:45:02,460 --> 00:45:05,560
writing is fantastic. I
really think it ticks a
992
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:08,340
lot of boxes. Yeah.
It's horror, hot. It's
993
00:45:08,340 --> 00:45:10,840
horror, heart with humor.
It's
994
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:16,500
hot horror. It's
hot horror, humor, human.
995
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:18,460
Yeah.
I mean, I do, I do feel
996
00:45:18,460 --> 00:45:21,340
like some of the, it's
hard to tell sometimes with
997
00:45:21,340 --> 00:45:23,700
screeners where it's like,
is this the finished
998
00:45:23,700 --> 00:45:26,680
project? Sometimes
if like the CGI or special
999
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:28,600
effects isn't in there,
they'll put like a red X,
1000
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:30,860
like not finished. And
then sometimes it's like
1001
00:45:30,860 --> 00:45:34,640
mostly finished. So
it's hard to tell like, is
1002
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:36,720
this the final thing
because there was some of
1003
00:45:36,720 --> 00:45:38,620
the special effects really?
That's
1004
00:45:38,620 --> 00:45:40,820
a little like, that's a
little shoddy. It
1005
00:45:40,820 --> 00:45:42,800
didn't take me out because
the writing was so good.
1006
00:45:42,980 --> 00:45:44,240
All
these actors were
1007
00:45:44,240 --> 00:45:48,440
believable. But
like fully poly, like if
1008
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:50,980
they were to like improve
just that slight bit, it'd
1009
00:45:50,980 --> 00:45:52,920
be a knockout. And
I think that's very
1010
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:54,560
nitpicky. Exactly.
Right. So
1011
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:56,900
if you're reviewers, we
have to. 100%. But
1012
00:45:56,900 --> 00:45:58,520
I think that if you're
there as just general
1013
00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:01,200
audience member watching it,
you won't be pulled out of
1014
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:02,360
it. You
might not even notice those
1015
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:04,860
things. It's
just a really strong first
1016
00:46:04,860 --> 00:46:07,560
season. Yeah.
And you kind of fall in
1017
00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:09,760
love with all these
characters and you don't
1018
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:11,500
want any of them to leave.
No.
1019
00:46:11,500 --> 00:46:14,220
So that's the fear is that
as you keep going on, like
1020
00:46:14,220 --> 00:46:16,280
as we were in the last
episode and, you know, in
1021
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:17,940
the middle of the last
episode, things are kind of
1022
00:46:17,940 --> 00:46:20,740
like getting a little bow
on it and you're kind of
1023
00:46:20,740 --> 00:46:22,960
like, but no, there has to
be something. Something
1024
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:26,500
is going to leave us
hanging off the cliff. And
1025
00:46:26,508 --> 00:46:28,180
then we got like a
children of men opening
1026
00:46:28,180 --> 00:46:30,800
with the shop just
exploding. Didn't
1027
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:33,480
expect that. I
was like, I was like, yes,
1028
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:34,700
they have to stay together.
And
1029
00:46:34,700 --> 00:46:37,060
then I was like, no,
that's bad. Very,
1030
00:46:37,100 --> 00:46:40,100
very, very bad. Not
good at all. So
1031
00:46:40,100 --> 00:46:43,360
the ending of this season
one, I think sets up a
1032
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:47,460
season two perfectly where
season one stuff is done,
1033
00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:51,240
wrapped it up like a bow,
but leaves us wanting more
1034
00:46:51,240 --> 00:46:53,620
and we want to see what
happens next. Specifically,
1035
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:56,440
Nico dying, which is super
sad. I
1036
00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:58,260
don't know what's going to
happen. I
1037
00:46:58,260 --> 00:47:01,540
believe she is a new
character for the show. So
1038
00:47:01,540 --> 00:47:04,920
like I have no idea who
she's supposed to be or
1039
00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:07,320
what she's going to do.
Having
1040
00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:10,040
her die was really sad. At
first we were like, oh, is
1041
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:12,460
she going to be a zombie
because she mentioned that
1042
00:47:12,460 --> 00:47:13,580
to the runners? They
bring her up. Yeah.
1043
00:47:14,240 --> 00:47:17,180
But we see her in that
igloo with the dandelion
1044
00:47:17,180 --> 00:47:23,220
sprites. And
so she was given a like a
1045
00:47:23,220 --> 00:47:26,600
small polar bear or a
small bear token. And
1046
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:30,120
so they're in Alaska. It's
making me think of maybe.
1047
00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:31,400
Is
she in Alaska? They
1048
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:32,700
were in the snow, right?
When
1049
00:47:32,700 --> 00:47:36,780
you think of a bear, you
think of. I
1050
00:47:36,780 --> 00:47:38,640
didn't know if they
settled. No,
1051
00:47:38,700 --> 00:47:41,120
no, no, but I felt like
Alaska because right, the
1052
00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:43,500
constellation of the bear
and all that stuff. And
1053
00:47:43,508 --> 00:47:48,260
so, you know, why? Why
is she there? It's
1054
00:47:48,260 --> 00:47:50,240
obviously the magic of the
token, but why are the
1055
00:47:50,240 --> 00:47:51,340
dandelion sprites with her?
And
1056
00:47:51,348 --> 00:47:54,480
so I'm a little worried
that she might not be
1057
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:57,120
good. We'll
see. They
1058
00:47:57,120 --> 00:47:59,360
didn't show her face. Yeah.
But maybe the dandelion
1059
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:03,100
sprites grew fond of her
because out of everybody,
1060
00:48:03,100 --> 00:48:05,400
even though they were
thrown insults at her, she
1061
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:07,880
still was like, I'm going
to keep them. I'm
1062
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:08,860
not going to kill them.
Like
1063
00:48:08,860 --> 00:48:10,940
there maybe they can become
good. That
1064
00:48:10,940 --> 00:48:13,200
is the thing about Nico is
that she saw the best in
1065
00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:15,800
everybody. You
know, the line that mixed
1066
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:17,620
her, you never know when
the good is going to come
1067
00:48:17,620 --> 00:48:20,100
back to you. And
that's all she was doing.
1068
00:48:21,279 --> 00:48:23,660
So
I have a hope that she's
1069
00:48:23,660 --> 00:48:26,120
going to be good. But
if she becomes kind of
1070
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:28,440
like a villain to then
come back as Nico, that
1071
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:31,220
might be fun. Yeah.
It's interesting because the
1072
00:48:31,220 --> 00:48:33,840
thing that made me laugh
is that they're so used to
1073
00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:36,760
death that this companion
of theirs, who they grew
1074
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:39,920
to love died. And
they're like, so let's
1075
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:43,180
expand the office. The
agency is booming. So
1076
00:48:43,180 --> 00:48:44,740
we're going to go to
London, right? Yeah.
1077
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:46,520
Let's just hop through this
mirror. Yeah.
1078
00:48:46,700 --> 00:48:49,500
They did grieve her a
little bit, but. Four
1079
00:48:49,500 --> 00:48:51,700
seconds. Yeah.
I mean, with Jenny being
1080
00:48:51,700 --> 00:48:53,780
like they're going to send
her body back to Japan. I
1081
00:48:53,788 --> 00:48:56,140
was like, oh, yeah. That's
sad. And
1082
00:48:56,140 --> 00:48:57,780
then they're like, are you
coming to London or what?
1083
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:00,420
I'm
like, wait, Nico is dead.
1084
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:02,200
What
are we doing? Can
1085
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:04,460
we not like talk about
other things? Right?
1086
00:49:04,720 --> 00:49:07,259
Okay. Fine.
Yeah. But
1087
00:49:07,259 --> 00:49:09,980
I am interested to see
what happens with Nico in
1088
00:49:09,980 --> 00:49:12,580
the next season. Me
too. So
1089
00:49:12,580 --> 00:49:15,040
final thoughts, final
rating, final like, I mean,
1090
00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:16,760
I think it's pretty
apparent we won another
1091
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:19,360
season. We
loved every second of it.
1092
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:21,200
It
was very easy to watch.
1093
00:49:22,300 --> 00:49:24,980
Gory,
scary, so many different
1094
00:49:24,980 --> 00:49:27,380
types of like supernatural
horrors. You
1095
00:49:27,388 --> 00:49:31,700
have kids killing kids that
like also abused other kids
1096
00:49:31,700 --> 00:49:35,220
and then like ghosts and
loops and leapers from
1097
00:49:35,220 --> 00:49:39,400
things and Lilith. The
washer woman. Yeah.
1098
00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:42,520
Who is constantly her
eternity is washing the
1099
00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:43,920
blood of the world away.
Of
1100
00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:45,800
humanity. Hello.
Yeah. And
1101
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:47,440
she even said, I think
there was a line where
1102
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:49,320
she's like, there's so much
blood now. And
1103
00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:52,840
I was like, oh. And
then who was it? Who
1104
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:55,300
said it? Oh,
the, that woman at the end
1105
00:49:55,300 --> 00:49:57,260
from the lost and found
place. She's
1106
00:49:57,260 --> 00:50:00,720
like, there are more humans
than ever dying these days.
1107
00:50:01,040 --> 00:50:03,120
Yeah.
Oh, boy. Yikes.
1108
00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:05,900
Well, well, good thing we
have the dead boys. Yes.
1109
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:08,180
To help everybody go to
where they belong.
1110
00:50:08,620 --> 00:50:11,740
Absolutely.
To move on. So
1111
00:50:11,740 --> 00:50:14,440
what do you give it? What
would you rate it? I,
1112
00:50:14,620 --> 00:50:18,060
you know, a solid four out
of five. A
1113
00:50:18,060 --> 00:50:23,020
solid four out of five. I
was playing with five, but
1114
00:50:23,020 --> 00:50:25,240
I'm going to give it a
four and a half. Yeah.
1115
00:50:25,580 --> 00:50:29,000
I feel, I think because
I'm so hesitant to be like
1116
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:31,740
five is like, if they
don't renew it for a
1117
00:50:31,740 --> 00:50:33,640
second season, I'm going to
be really mad. Heart
1118
00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:35,940
broke. But
we're getting a season two
1119
00:50:35,940 --> 00:50:38,120
of Sandman. So
if that does well, the
1120
00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:40,700
sand diverse can get
bigger. This
1121
00:50:40,700 --> 00:50:42,780
is my thing. If
Sandman is too intense for
1122
00:50:42,780 --> 00:50:46,180
you, which it is for me,
then dead boy detectives
1123
00:50:46,180 --> 00:50:48,840
is. Perfect.
That's the thing that I'm
1124
00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:51,400
so excited for, for this
like universe, because there
1125
00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:53,600
could be so many different
types of stories. Sam
1126
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:57,300
and is very like thematic
and like really thought
1127
00:50:57,300 --> 00:50:59,740
provoking and like it could
be boring for some people.
1128
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:01,140
I
get it. This
1129
00:51:01,140 --> 00:51:03,800
is going to capture a
whole other audience. So
1130
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:06,920
I'm excited to see what
you guys think. What
1131
00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:09,320
other people think? Yes.
Let us know. Book
1132
00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:11,100
the dead boy detectives.
You
1133
00:51:11,100 --> 00:51:12,920
got to love them. You're
going to love them. You're
1134
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:16,340
going to love them. And
then let us know who your
1135
00:51:16,340 --> 00:51:17,580
favorite side character was.
Or
1136
00:51:17,580 --> 00:51:19,640
favorite case, because
that's a lot of fun. I
1137
00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:21,800
really want to know. So
many people are so funny.
1138
00:51:22,340 --> 00:51:23,480
Anyway,
okay. So
1139
00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:27,840
next week, next week X men
back to X men 97. Yeah.
1140
00:51:28,399 --> 00:51:30,600
You know, we're still
dealing with the death of
1141
00:51:30,600 --> 00:51:31,600
Gambit. It's
fine. We
1142
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:35,500
might. We
also might have a time
1143
00:51:35,500 --> 00:51:38,600
traveler and a blue box
stuff coming on the
1144
00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:40,980
podcast. You
heard it here first. We
1145
00:51:40,980 --> 00:51:42,520
got to the end of the
episode. So
1146
00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:45,080
maybe some exclusive stuff.
We'll
1147
00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:46,720
see. I
don't know. Some
1148
00:51:46,720 --> 00:51:49,220
exciting things that
Disney's giving us the
1149
00:51:49,220 --> 00:51:51,280
opportunity to do. So
goodbye. Very
1150
00:51:51,280 --> 00:52:11,120
lucky. Goodbye.
Bye.
