Long Story Short Season 1 Review

1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,720
Hey friends, I'm Derek.
That's Noah, and you're

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:06,200
listening to A Bite of On this
episode, we are taking a bite of

3
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:09,960
the new Netflix animated series,
Long story short.

4
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:19,920
A short episode on a Long story
short.

5
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:23,240
How about that?
We actually have our next two

6
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:25,480
episodes.
Slash reviews are very family

7
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,000
focused.
We didn't plan this completely

8
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:32,759
different studios, but a end of
summer means dysfunctional

9
00:00:32,759 --> 00:00:35,480
families.
Yeah, it almost seems like there

10
00:00:35,480 --> 00:00:38,280
was something in the universe
saying that everybody was going

11
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,000
through something with their
families at the same time.

12
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,040
So it's just the trend in pop
culture right now.

13
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,760
I don't know if I like it, but I
do like these two things.

14
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,920
So, you know, we have the roses
coming out next week.

15
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,120
And then obviously this week is
the episode that you clicked on.

16
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:52,960
But before we get into
everything, make sure you're

17
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:54,800
following us.
Make sure you're subscribed to

18
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:55,800
us.
Make sure you're leaving

19
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,280
reviews, Patreon.
We have a bite of the week.

20
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:01,480
Every week.
We talk about some of our

21
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:05,680
favorite pop culture news, movie
news, TV news, whatever.

22
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:07,960
News.
Yeah, it's been fun.

23
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,720
Yeah, been a fun time.
It's like Access Hollywood, but

24
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,640
us.
But gay?

25
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:18,160
And on a weekly basis.
All right, so spoilers ahead, we

26
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,000
will be talking.
We're not going to go into super

27
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,560
huge detail, but we will be
talking about the first season

28
00:01:22,960 --> 00:01:26,880
of Long story short and also
thinking Netflix for give me

29
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:28,680
screeners for the whole first
season.

30
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:33,480
Very lucky so let us officially
take a bite of Long story short

31
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,240
created by Rafael Bo Walksburg
meet the Schwartz Cooper

32
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,840
Schwooper family as they
experience the trials,

33
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,480
tribulations and wolves.
Growing up as a Jewish American

34
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,600
family through the late 90s and
2000s.

35
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,640
So what did you think of the
Schwarz, Cooper, Schwooper

36
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,440
family?
One, I love the name Schwooper.

37
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,840
Oh so good.
I, I didn't finish Bojack

38
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,720
Horseman.
What I do know about Bojack,

39
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,400
Bojack Horseman and the creator
and everything is that they take

40
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,640
a thing and say something with
it.

41
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,160
This show, I was very curious
because there's no animals,

42
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,240
right?
It's it's very based on a Jewish

43
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:17,080
family and what that means.
I really, really enjoyed my time

44
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,520
with the Schwoopers.
I think they played with

45
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,720
structure really fun in this
show.

46
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:26,440
A fun way to play with structure
in the show where it wasn't kind

47
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,280
of hard based in a time period.
It would go all the way to the

48
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:34,440
50s to the 2000 twenties.
This show does a good job of

49
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,280
showing a Jewish American family
and everything.

50
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:42,440
The uncles, the the married in
family, what a bat mitzvah is

51
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,520
like, what Awake is like, all of
this stuff but also makes it

52
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:51,160
very delightful and charming and
I don't really laugh out loud

53
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,200
quickly of comedies.
This one first episode was

54
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,600
laughing out loud.
I really enjoyed my time with

55
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,760
it.
I think it like 1030 minute

56
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,480
episodes was perfect.
It didn't overstay its welcome,

57
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,800
but I did want more.
Yeah, I think one of the

58
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,840
interesting things is going
through these years with this

59
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,200
family, right?
And within one episode, we can

60
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:16,600
start in 99, go to 2003, go back
to 96, you know, So it's The

61
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,600
thing is, I think with
generational trauma, let's say

62
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,760
you need to see the generations,
right?

63
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,080
And you need to see these bread
crumbs in these folks lives that

64
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,760
have led them to this point.
And I think throughout the

65
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,000
series that can happen within
one episode, but it also happens

66
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,760
throughout the entire season.
And I think that's what's so

67
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,960
brilliant about this.
You know, like you said, there

68
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,120
are no animals in this.
I think it's definitely much

69
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,640
more rooted in reality compared
to Bojack Horseman.

70
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,520
And I love that.
I think that this family, I

71
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,000
mean, just for, for time's sake,
we'll just call them the

72
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,760
Schwoopers rather than all three
of the names.

73
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:59,440
They they feel very real a lot
more you know, I love this idea

74
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:03,800
of the American family that
isn't so perfect, right?

75
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,040
We think of The Simpsons, we
think of the Belchers and Bob's

76
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,480
Burgers and I think the
Schroopers are part of that as

77
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,720
well.
I but I think also on top of

78
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,440
that, they're dealing with more
real world things, right?

79
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,320
We see COVID a lot in this
wearing masks.

80
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:22,400
We and I think that that being
rooted in reality, I think as an

81
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,880
audience we're able to really
relate to it.

82
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,200
Yeah, I when I when it got to
the COVID years and I saw masks

83
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,000
and stuff like that, it's a very
like, I don't want to

84
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,760
acknowledge it, you know,
obviously we have to, but it's,

85
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,680
it's one of those things where I
feel like right after lockdown

86
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,960
lifted, we got a lot of media
with like COVID being in it and

87
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,200
it's like, can we just like 2
seconds?

88
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,800
I don't want to see it.
But this I feel like oddly

89
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,600
enough, time ish has passed
where it was an interesting take

90
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,800
on some of the stuff that
happened with COVID, but it made

91
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,400
sense for the story.
I I really liked the structure

92
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,640
of the show and I think the
animation was wasn't trying to

93
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,640
do anything new, but was fresh
at the same time.

94
00:05:00,840 --> 00:05:03,640
So I think that they got a good
mix of like getting a great

95
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,840
cast, doing a great story and
then having the animation

96
00:05:06,840 --> 00:05:09,400
pleasing to everybody.
Yeah, absolutely.

97
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,840
I think one of the things to be
said about this is that there is

98
00:05:13,840 --> 00:05:18,160
joviality in the regularness of
life, and there can be really

99
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,480
bizarre things in our everyday
lives.

100
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,040
You know, there's one episode in
particular called Wolves.

101
00:05:25,280 --> 00:05:27,640
And as you're going into it,
you're thinking, you know, the

102
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:32,720
metaphoric wolves of life.
But it turns out, spoiler alert,

103
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,680
during COVID, when no one was in
the school, a pack of wolves

104
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,320
took over the kids schools and
no one knew had to do with it.

105
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,560
So the kids were going to school
with wolves, which is kind of

106
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,160
hilarious, but just was this
really bizarre new normal that

107
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,000
everybody was just kind of like,
that's a thing.

108
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,440
They go to school with wolves.
So there are moments of joy,

109
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:54,200
there are moments of absurdity,
but they still feel very rooted

110
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,160
in our reality as humans, which
I really loved.

111
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,360
You know, the animation, I
agree, wasn't trying to break

112
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,760
any mold here, but I think was
fun and enjoyable.

113
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,400
And because it was animation,
they got to do some sillier

114
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,680
things then maybe in in live
action stuff.

115
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,440
But really part of the thing
that brought these characters to

116
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:18,880
life were the amazing cast.
Yeah, these voice actors.

117
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,320
I mean, was there anyone that
stood out to you as far as voice

118
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,200
acting is concerned?
Abby Jacobson 100%.

119
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,760
I mean, it was.
I immediately clocked who it was

120
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,600
'cause I went into this
completely blind.

121
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:30,320
I, I, you know, we got this
greener.

122
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,360
I was like, oh, what is this?
I was like, oh, creator Bajaj

123
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:33,680
Horseman.
I was like, OK, interesting.

124
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,880
And I just, we started watching
it and I was like, oh, oh,

125
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:38,520
that's that person.
Oh, that's that person.

126
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,840
I really enjoyed Abby Jacobson.
I think she probably was the

127
00:06:42,840 --> 00:06:49,920
standout to me.
Yoshi Max Greenfield also pretty

128
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,200
great.
I think those two are maybe the

129
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,880
standouts for me as far as just
the entirety of the entire

130
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:57,360
series.
Yeah, I think of the three

131
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,560
siblings, you know, Avi is the
older brother.

132
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,360
Avi is the one that I think most
acquiesces to his mother.

133
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,880
That was kind of a bit of the
golden child.

134
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:10,720
So he kind of is more laid back.
So I think Ben Feldman didn't

135
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,480
necessarily have this like
standout role, but I think that

136
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,480
he is the one that's most
reflective in these

137
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,400
relationships.
Whereas I think that Abby

138
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:25,160
Jacobson and and Max Greenfield,
those characters had more to

139
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,000
deal with, you know, so I think
that they shown a little more,

140
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,640
but I agree, I think Abby
Jacobson was definitely the

141
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,680
stand out.
Well, I will say, I do think

142
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,080
they did a good job of every
single person getting an episode

143
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,400
or two episodes where it either
focused on the person or a

144
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,320
relationship of some sort.
And I really appreciated that

145
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,280
because there are 10 episodes
and they're 30 minutes, right?

146
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:49,840
But I was even surprised that
Nicole Byers Kendra got an

147
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,440
entire back story, which I
loved, but I didn't expect that,

148
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,080
you know, it's the spouse of
somebody.

149
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,000
So I was like, oh, OK.
And I will say it's very queer,

150
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,360
yes, which I very much loved.
And that was to my point is, is

151
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:06,680
that I think the character of
Shira who Abby is voicing really

152
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,480
had a lot to deal with, not only
in her queerness, but also just

153
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:13,640
in her mother's wrath on her.
And that that I love that had

154
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:18,320
nothing to do with the.
Queerness this show will I think

155
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,520
a lot of people will relate to
something in the show.

156
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,520
Even if you're like an in law,
you're married into a family,

157
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:29,560
have a narcissistic mother, have
siblings, you know, I there's

158
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,559
just so many layers to the show
that I think people will

159
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:36,840
gravitate towards and they do
such a good job of like giving

160
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,200
you like, OK, I know this like
archetype.

161
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,400
I know this character, but then
delving a little deeper into it

162
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,840
and then hitting you with those
really poignant moments that

163
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,280
some of them I didn't expect.
Like I'm sitting there, I'm

164
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,040
laughing and then I'm like, oh,
OK.

165
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,560
And then the episode would end
and I'm like, I damn you, damn

166
00:08:54,560 --> 00:08:56,080
you.
But it's so good.

167
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,200
And I think they found a really
good balance with this.

168
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:04,640
I had saw somebody say that this
is like a odd adult bluey and

169
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:06,560
I'm like, I kind of can see
that.

170
00:09:06,560 --> 00:09:11,040
It's not as, I guess jovial as
bluey, but it's like with that

171
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,760
dynamics with the family and
everybody has their certain

172
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:15,280
roles.
I'm like, I can kind of see

173
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:16,840
that.
Yeah, def.

174
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,040
That's a really interesting
take.

175
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,200
On that, yeah.
I mean, I will say that if

176
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:25,280
you're fans of Bob's Burgers,
This Is Us Parenthood.

177
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,360
Like I even thought Modern
Family.

178
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,920
Modern Family, yeah.
But this felt more rooted in

179
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,240
reality than Modern Family does.
Yes.

180
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,520
Which is hilarious to me.
Yeah, right.

181
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:35,960
Yeah.
But I definitely think that

182
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,520
those are really good.
I wouldn't say like, once your

183
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,400
kids done with Bluey, they
should be watching a Long story

184
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,400
short.
No, this is truly like it.

185
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:47,960
It feels like something that and
which I love about it because it

186
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,360
it's something that you could
sit with and think about.

187
00:09:50,560 --> 00:09:52,120
Yeah.
Is there any stand out moments

188
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,160
or episodes for you?
You know, one of the episodes

189
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:59,520
that really stood out to me was
#9 honoring Naomi Schwartz.

190
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:04,320
So this is a really interesting
episode because they're honoring

191
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,600
their mother at, you know, in
their Community Center, their

192
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,280
JCC, right?
And so they know her really as

193
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:15,560
this person who is is very
self-centered, who is always

194
00:10:15,560 --> 00:10:18,920
focused on herself, who manages
to make any big situation about

195
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,960
her and her feelings.
And yet she's being honored as

196
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,480
this person that gives back
constantly.

197
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:28,000
What I really loved about that
episode is that in that, so the

198
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,680
people that see her as that are
the kids because they're

199
00:10:30,680 --> 00:10:32,720
day-to-day, they know their
mother and this is how the

200
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,160
mother acts towards them, right?
Obviously she loves the kids.

201
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,640
But like when you have a very
self-centered narcissistic

202
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:42,040
parent, you can see these
qualities in them and how it's

203
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:43,960
never a good thing.
It's always a bad thing, right?

204
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:45,880
And it's always about the looks
and it's always about everything

205
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:47,320
else.
But then when you're put in the

206
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:51,280
situation of everybody else
seeing all these amazing,

207
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,960
beautiful things and like, you
didn't know that your mother

208
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:58,480
spoke Danish, you didn't know
that they did this, they got a

209
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,400
convicted white supremacist and
to turn their lives around.

210
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:02,880
So it's like all of these
things.

211
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:04,440
And then the kids are like,
wait, what?

212
00:11:04,680 --> 00:11:07,320
So I think it was really
interesting to show that

213
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,480
perspective.
Yeah, Ari says.

214
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:14,960
He says Avi, excuse me, He says
she could forgive a former Nazi,

215
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,520
but she can't forgive me for not
using a coaster.

216
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,480
Yeah, You know what I mean?
So it's like that's the thing

217
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,920
that everyone remembers.
And it's so interesting to see

218
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,080
their mother through other
people's eyes.

219
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,520
And for some reason with Avi, it
really effects him almost

220
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:32,160
negatively of like, why didn't I
get this version of my mother,

221
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:33,800
you know?
And I just thought it was such

222
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,840
an eye opening episode because
that is the second to last

223
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,240
episode of the season.
So we've all been living with

224
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,440
Naomi, right?
We see what she does.

225
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,360
And I think it comes to it as a
surprise for all of us as the

226
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,160
audience as well as the kids.
I want to just know what her

227
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:51,600
deal is with Jen.
Jen is Avi's spouse who we meet

228
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,000
as the girlfriend at 1st and she
just hates her.

229
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,240
And it does have some of the
biggest laughs for me though.

230
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,200
And some of the callbacks from
the first episode to the last

231
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,160
episode are just absolutely
brilliant.

232
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,640
But I do want to know what her
her issue with it because any

233
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,120
time she's talking to all of
them, I think there's only

234
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,720
really one episode where they're
all together, which is really

235
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,000
sweet.
But she loves Kendra, she hates

236
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,640
Jen, and I just think it is one
of the funniest things in the

237
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,120
show.
If I had to pick like my

238
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:23,560
favorite episode slash moment, I
would say it's probably Yoshi

239
00:12:23,560 --> 00:12:26,280
and Baby.
I really, really enjoy that

240
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,200
episode.
I thought it was incredibly

241
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,280
sweet.
It was such a self-contained

242
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,120
episode.
There's so many layers going on,

243
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,040
but it's a very sibling focused
1.

244
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:38,280
And also the baby Yoshi doesn't
really have a lot.

245
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,360
Baby Yoshi not a Mario fame.
Yeah.

246
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,280
But doesn't have a like a huge
stake in a lot of the stuff

247
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,400
that's going on in the show
because he's the baby, right?

248
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,520
He's he's doing his thing, he's
doing whatever.

249
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,520
But this is really his moment to
shine.

250
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,720
And I just liked it.
I thought it was a cool,

251
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:58,080
self-contained story that like,
what could have been and didn't

252
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,200
happen, you know?
And also this character of Baby

253
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,120
who we hear about in the first
episode, who we don't get to

254
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:09,480
meet until later on and then see
a a couple episodes later, how

255
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,720
it all connects.
Don't say anything.

256
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:13,880
But that's one of the things I
really like about the show.

257
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,960
There are even just lines that
come out in like later episodes

258
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,080
that refer back to earlier
things.

259
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:23,600
And so there's planning here,
which I really love.

260
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,040
Well, and that's, I think that's
what I was like trying to get at

261
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:30,120
when I said I like that they
don't root the show in a time

262
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,040
period and you don't know where
you're going to go in the

263
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,160
episodes because they do stuff
like that.

264
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,480
They mention something like, you
know, baby here, but it's like

265
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,040
after all the baby stuff, but
then you're going back to the

266
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,040
beginning at some point.
But then at the end and at first

267
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,480
it gets a little like, you know,
it's a first show, right?

268
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,840
It's the first season of a show.
You get used to it.

269
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:50,720
I would say the first episode
you kind of get it.

270
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:52,520
You're like, OK, I'm just going
to I'm going to be with this

271
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,560
family.
They talk 1,000,000 mph at the

272
00:13:55,560 --> 00:13:58,840
kitchen table.
And so I think them jumping

273
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,840
around actually serves the show
really well.

274
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,720
And I think that as a as a
viewer, in the beginning I was

275
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:09,320
trying to track it, but I but I
realized that was to my

276
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,280
detriment, just let it happen.
They don't want you to, right?

277
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,560
But I will say there's a lot of
Fiddler on the Roof references,

278
00:14:15,560 --> 00:14:17,640
so like, good luck trying to get
all of those.

279
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,240
There there is one character we
haven't spoken about yet and

280
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,640
this is the dad, Elliot.
Well, OK.

281
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:28,480
And so my thing is, though, is
like, so we have Naomi, who's so

282
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:32,400
strong, and then we have Elliott
who is so laid back.

283
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,800
It's like, what role does
Elliott actually play?

284
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,120
Well, I do want to say this
because I don't think you know

285
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:42,360
this and I just found this out
shortly before us recording as

286
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:43,960
it's already been renewed for
season 2.

287
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,360
So they've already renewed ahead
of season 1 even premiering.

288
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,640
So I'm curious if it's going to
be the same family.

289
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,720
I hope it is and maybe we will
get that because it does seem

290
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:57,800
like they purposely didn't show
some things in hopes that maybe

291
00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:59,840
season 2.
So you know, there there's

292
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:02,400
specific things that happened
with some relationships ending

293
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,280
that we didn't get to really see
why.

294
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,120
So I'm hoping we get that 'cause
there's definitely apparently

295
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,760
characters that are missing
backstories.

296
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,040
Definitely, yeah.
And I think that Elliot, who's

297
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:17,480
voiced by Paul Reiser, who is
just incredibly talented and

298
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:21,320
wonderful, we don't know much
about him because he takes that

299
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,840
backseat role.
But again, we get those glimpses

300
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,200
to their past, how he and Naomi
met, and they seemed like much

301
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,160
Wilder people when they were
younger than they are now.

302
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:31,520
That's how it always is though,
right?

303
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,520
Like I've seen your parents when
they kind of first met and they

304
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:35,760
look like.
Rock stars.

305
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:37,400
Rock stars.
My parents did, too.

306
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,200
My mom had this giant fountain
hair.

307
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,800
And, you know, I think it's like
of the time, yeah.

308
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,960
And I and I think, you know,
ultimately it's just how life

309
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:50,400
shapes you, right?
It is a very, I think again,

310
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,440
it's, it's only 10 episodes.
They're 25 minutes long,

311
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,920
including credits.
So it's even less than that.

312
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,160
And that's not to say it's bad.
I think it's actually the

313
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:03,080
perfect runtime for the show.
I think it just, it had

314
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,200
something it wanted to say.
It's so delightfully and

315
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:10,600
unapologetically Jewish.
That was refreshing to see.

316
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,960
And I also do like that they,
they make comments that they

317
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,480
know people that who didn't grow
up Jewish are going to be

318
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,120
watching this.
So they make sure that you're

319
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,960
being taught along the way, but
also acting like they're not

320
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,120
lecturing you right?
I, I mean, I really appreciated

321
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:29,120
it honestly, and just seeing how
it is woven throughout their

322
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,360
daily lives and how much it
means to them.

323
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:36,160
I also want to just give a shout
out to the voice of Hannah

324
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,280
Schooper, Michaela Dietz,
because as a Steven Universe

325
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:43,840
fan, she was Amethyst.
Very good final thoughts.

326
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,720
I feel like, again, if you're a
fan of Bobby Burgers, those kind

327
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:54,560
of like lighthearted, very
funny, emotional shows, I think

328
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,240
you'll like this show.
I think you should give it a

329
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:57,320
shot.
I agree.

330
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:03,000
And you know, I, I almost wish I
had because we, we kind of

331
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,920
binged it, you know, to make
sure we had to, we had to.

332
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,800
I actually wish I got to take
more time with it because I

333
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,280
think that there are things in
there that I could really sit

334
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:15,040
with and think about and feel
because it really does have such

335
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,800
great depth to it.
It feels very personal to the

336
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,640
creator.
And I think even though it's

337
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:25,280
about this one specific family,
like we've kind of been saying,

338
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,800
I think anyone can see
themselves in this, right?

339
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,680
Anyone who has a family where
things get complicated and don't

340
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,760
necessarily turn out how we
thought, for good or for bad,

341
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,120
you'll see yourself in the
Schoopers.

342
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,680
Yeah, yeah, I'm, I'm excited for
season 2.

343
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:44,080
I again, I need to see if it's
about the same family or not.

344
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:45,720
I mean, it could be an
anthology, could not.

345
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,360
I'd be happy either way because
I think this, this they have a

346
00:17:49,360 --> 00:17:51,720
good team on their hands.
But I do love these actors and I

347
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,160
love the characters already.
So I don't know, I'm kind of

348
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,440
sold.
But if you're going to watch it,

349
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,360
if you watched it, by the time
you listen to it, let us know

350
00:17:58,360 --> 00:18:00,040
what?
You thought, yes, I'm officially

351
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:01,800
invested.
I'm so excited that there's

352
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:03,880
season 2.
Love to hear what you all think

353
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:05,640
as well.
See you next time when we talk

354
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:09,080
about the roses.
Another complicated family.

355
00:18:09,120 --> 00:18:11,840
That one's a complicated for a
whole lot of other reasons, dear

356
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:13,160
Lord.
OK, goodbye.

357
00:18:13,360 --> 00:18:13,440
Bye.
