Things We Missed 2023
Derek and Noah are diving into the things they missed in 2023! The guys chat about their favorite shows and movies they didn’t get to talk about on the podcast… until now! Hear their thoughts on real life friends creating on screen chemistry (Good Omens S2), how Knock at the Cabin compared to the book, what will come of Ted Lasso’s world, how they feel about Rocket’s devastating back story in Guardians of the Galaxy, and more!
We stand in solidarity with SAG-AFTRA & WGA as they are on strike for fair pay from the studios and greedy ghouls. There are many ways to support the strikes even if you can't make it to the picket line:

Hey, I'm Derek.
And I'm Noah, and you're
2
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:19,360
listening to A Bite Of, where we
take our current favorite pop
3
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:23,240
culture obsession and enjoy it 1
Nibble at a time wee Woo Hoo.
4
00:00:24,240 --> 00:00:26,120
OK, we're back.
It's been like a week.
5
00:00:26,810 --> 00:00:30,410
It's a long time, it's we went
from August to September.
6
00:00:30,410 --> 00:00:33,170
It was a lot was happening.
We went to fall.
7
00:00:33,770 --> 00:00:37,370
I'm we've been drinking pumpkin
spice things.
8
00:00:47,650 --> 00:00:50,210
So today we thought it would be
fun.
9
00:00:40,650 --> 00:00:42,850
We're riding high on the
caffeine train, right?
10
00:00:50,210 --> 00:00:52,890
You know how you know we said we
were going to do different types
11
00:00:52,890 --> 00:00:55,750
of episodes.
This one's different, yeah.
12
00:00:55,870 --> 00:00:58,230
Quite different.
We're growing, we're changing.
13
00:00:58,590 --> 00:01:00,870
And that's OK.
Yeah, that's just a natural
14
00:01:00,870 --> 00:01:04,030
thing in life.
So the nature of our podcast, we
15
00:01:04,030 --> 00:01:06,790
used to do seasons where it was
just that thing and that's all
16
00:01:06,790 --> 00:01:09,470
what we would talk about.
Then we branched away from
17
00:01:09,470 --> 00:01:14,710
seasons and we're doing
interpretive dancing, just
18
00:01:14,710 --> 00:01:19,430
feeling what you're saying.
And now we thought, because we
19
00:01:19,430 --> 00:01:23,630
still don't cover everything
that we watch and love because
20
00:01:23,630 --> 00:01:26,550
we're covering other things.
We thought it'd be fun to talk
21
00:01:26,550 --> 00:01:30,110
about the things that we missed,
the movies and TV shows that we
22
00:01:30,110 --> 00:01:30,910
missed.
Yeah.
23
00:01:30,910 --> 00:01:34,190
And we wanted to share what we
thought about these things
24
00:01:34,190 --> 00:01:37,590
because we enjoyed a lot of
other things other than, you
25
00:01:37,590 --> 00:01:43,110
know, Secret Invasion.
Hey, I like how that's the one
26
00:01:43,110 --> 00:01:46,550
that you call out.
Well, no, we did heart stopper,
27
00:01:46,550 --> 00:01:49,670
which we love, obviously.
That you're going to throw that
28
00:01:49,670 --> 00:01:51,470
in that kind of no, no, no, no,
no.
29
00:01:51,670 --> 00:01:53,350
Yeah, we've we've covered quite
a bit.
30
00:01:53,970 --> 00:01:57,050
And, you know, Last of Us.
Oh my God, ghosted.
31
00:01:57,570 --> 00:02:00,930
Well, you know, you can't keep
adding the ones where we gave
32
00:02:00,930 --> 00:02:03,170
like one star.
Why not?
33
00:02:03,730 --> 00:02:06,490
That's what we covered.
Yeah, it was entertaining, I
34
00:02:06,490 --> 00:02:09,130
hope.
So normally when we first
35
00:02:09,130 --> 00:02:12,890
thought about this idea, we were
going to also throw in like
36
00:02:13,290 --> 00:02:17,890
maybe video games and like
books, but because somebody is
37
00:02:17,890 --> 00:02:20,170
on the Stonewall Award
committee.
38
00:02:20,700 --> 00:02:22,460
Can't talk about any of the
books that he's reading?
39
00:02:23,220 --> 00:02:26,420
It's a secret.
You'll know in January of next
40
00:02:26,420 --> 00:02:28,620
year.
Yeah, it's two years that he
41
00:02:28,620 --> 00:02:30,740
can't talk about any of the
books, so that's fun.
42
00:02:31,020 --> 00:02:34,180
But we're also swimming in gay
books.
43
00:02:34,180 --> 00:02:40,500
So many gay books.
L, GB, TQIA, Plus literally all
44
00:02:40,500 --> 00:02:42,180
of them.
Yeah, it's pretty fantastic.
45
00:02:42,180 --> 00:02:44,500
Yeah, it is great and I get to
read the ones that I want to
46
00:02:44,500 --> 00:02:47,340
read exactly.
So.
47
00:02:47,980 --> 00:02:50,900
We're going to talk about the
the movies and shows that we
48
00:02:50,900 --> 00:02:53,220
enjoyed.
It's not going to be, you know,
49
00:02:53,220 --> 00:02:55,500
the best of the best because
maybe we didn't watch it or
50
00:02:55,780 --> 00:02:59,700
maybe we didn't like it, right?
Listen, we're allowed to not
51
00:02:59,700 --> 00:03:00,900
like things.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
52
00:03:00,900 --> 00:03:03,900
But these are the ones that we
both very much enjoyed.
53
00:03:03,940 --> 00:03:08,820
And then we have separately,
personal picks, ones that, you
54
00:03:08,820 --> 00:03:11,140
know, Derek didn't watch what I
did and I love.
55
00:03:11,140 --> 00:03:17,660
Or vice versa, yeah.
Have to preface all of this
56
00:03:17,940 --> 00:03:22,540
because we're talking about
movies and TV SAG writer strike
57
00:03:22,620 --> 00:03:25,860
still going on.
There's so much that is just
58
00:03:25,860 --> 00:03:30,860
keeps developing with it that I
just, I hate all of those
59
00:03:30,860 --> 00:03:33,700
greedy, cool executives.
It's just insane.
60
00:03:33,700 --> 00:03:35,620
They're like we're going to
fight hard for this.
61
00:03:35,620 --> 00:03:37,500
It's like you could have stopped
it that day.
62
00:03:37,540 --> 00:03:39,700
Yeah, like they're just playing
games at this point.
63
00:03:39,740 --> 00:03:42,700
It's insane.
So down below in the show notes,
64
00:03:43,180 --> 00:03:46,100
if you're watching this.
On YouTube, Whenever this does
65
00:03:46,100 --> 00:03:48,380
release to the public on
YouTube, it's also down there.
66
00:03:48,500 --> 00:03:54,100
So information, donation, all
that great stuff, But you know,
67
00:03:54,820 --> 00:03:58,140
should we get into it?
Yeah, we don't want to do any of
68
00:03:58,140 --> 00:04:01,540
the.
You know, fine, give it.
69
00:04:01,620 --> 00:04:03,100
Give us some stars.
There you go.
70
00:04:06,740 --> 00:04:10,540
We have a page you're on where
this video is released 1st, and
71
00:04:10,540 --> 00:04:05,180
you know that's where we're at.
That's it.
72
00:04:12,500 --> 00:04:15,240
Cool.
All right, very good.
73
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:20,720
So let us officially take a bite
of the things we missed in 2023
74
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,120
so far and heavy spoiler alerts.
In case you didn't see any of
75
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,480
these things, I'm sure we'll be
giving away major plot points
76
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,720
and things.
Yeah, yeah, major plot points.
77
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,360
But you know, we have quite a
few things to cover.
78
00:04:32,140 --> 00:04:35,180
So buckle up folks.
It's a three hour show of a bite
79
00:04:35,180 --> 00:04:37,540
of.
I don't think I could do that.
80
00:04:37,580 --> 00:04:39,300
I don't think so either.
There's melt in this room
81
00:04:39,300 --> 00:04:41,180
anyway.
There are some podcasts that can
82
00:04:41,180 --> 00:04:44,580
do like 4 hours on a single 30
minute episode.
83
00:04:44,620 --> 00:04:48,900
And I'm like, I no, we have a
very good track record of like
84
00:04:48,900 --> 00:04:52,100
if we're covering a 30 minute
episode, our episodes are 30
85
00:04:52,100 --> 00:04:53,500
minutes.
And then if it's an hour, it's
86
00:04:53,500 --> 00:04:54,460
an hour.
Yeah.
87
00:04:54,740 --> 00:04:55,860
Yeah.
So I don't know what this is
88
00:04:55,860 --> 00:04:58,820
going to be because we have like
6 or 8 properties that we're
89
00:04:58,820 --> 00:05:01,060
going to be talking about.
Should we just time ourselves at
90
00:05:01,060 --> 00:05:02,740
each one?
We only have two minutes to talk
91
00:05:02,740 --> 00:05:03,500
about.
That's it.
92
00:05:03,940 --> 00:05:06,180
It's an 18 minute episode.
That's it.
93
00:05:07,100 --> 00:05:10,540
All right, ready and go.
The First things first is we're
94
00:05:10,540 --> 00:05:13,700
going to be talking about the
movie theater camp that came out
95
00:05:13,700 --> 00:05:18,460
in July of this year.
Now, as I've said in the past on
96
00:05:18,460 --> 00:05:23,860
the podcast, I was a theater
minor in collage and was a
97
00:05:23,900 --> 00:05:25,900
theater kid growing up my entire
life.
98
00:05:26,180 --> 00:05:29,260
So this was like watching my
friends and I on screen.
99
00:05:29,500 --> 00:05:34,580
I So knowing your friend group
and then watching this movie, I
100
00:05:34,580 --> 00:05:37,500
was like, oh.
This is, this is you guys.
101
00:05:37,700 --> 00:05:40,900
It's so funny to see that
because I wasn't in theater at
102
00:05:40,900 --> 00:05:41,980
all.
I had friends that were in it,
103
00:05:41,980 --> 00:05:43,780
and my mom did a lot of theater
stuff in school.
104
00:05:43,780 --> 00:05:46,660
So I was around it and I got the
references.
105
00:05:46,660 --> 00:05:48,900
But knowing you guys, I'm like
this.
106
00:05:49,300 --> 00:05:51,260
This is what shaped you.
Absolutely.
107
00:05:51,380 --> 00:05:54,340
And so we never went to theater
camp, but what we did was that
108
00:05:54,340 --> 00:05:57,700
we were in shows throughout our
entire elementary school career.
109
00:05:57,900 --> 00:06:00,460
And then when we got into our
later years of high school and
110
00:06:00,460 --> 00:06:02,940
in college, we went back to our
elementary school and we helped
111
00:06:02,940 --> 00:06:06,650
run those shows.
And so just just seeing how
112
00:06:06,650 --> 00:06:09,530
these characters talk to the
kids and how seriously they take
113
00:06:09,530 --> 00:06:14,250
it, it definitely felt like a
reflection and laughing at it
114
00:06:14,250 --> 00:06:17,090
because, you know, we're like,
they're not hitting the choreo,
115
00:06:17,410 --> 00:06:19,730
you know, I mean, while they're
like 10 years old, we're like
116
00:06:19,730 --> 00:06:24,330
Boxtep Grapevine 5678, you know,
So it's when you're in it, it's
117
00:06:24,330 --> 00:06:26,370
very serious.
And that's what this felt like.
118
00:06:26,370 --> 00:06:30,360
I mean, so with theater camp,
there's are sort of two main
119
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,120
characters here, Amos and
Rebecca, Diane, which is the
120
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,280
best theater name that has ever
existed.
121
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,720
And they work at this theater
camp every summer.
122
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,480
They've been going their entire
lives, unfortunately, Joan, the
123
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,480
leader of this camp, who's
played by Amy Sedaris, which
124
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,840
was, you know, the perfect way
to open this movie.
125
00:06:47,840 --> 00:06:49,840
I honestly didn't realize she
was in it.
126
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:51,160
I didn't know.
Either at all.
127
00:06:51,280 --> 00:06:53,360
Until she was in it and I was
like, oh, this is going to be
128
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,080
great.
Yeah, like unfortunately, if you
129
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,680
aren't Amy Sedaris Fan, the
whole thing is that the
130
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,560
character ends up having a
medical emergency and is in a
131
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,440
coma.
So her like TikTok star son is
132
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,280
trying to run the camp.
He has no idea what he's doing
133
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,560
and then all of the Ch of people
are there also trying to run it,
134
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,960
putting on the shows.
I call those types of people bro
135
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,400
fluencers.
Bro fluencers.
136
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,320
That's perfect.
Because that's how he is this,
137
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,960
this movie is really good
because it's a mockumentary
138
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:27,600
style movie and when they get
those right, they're great.
139
00:07:28,110 --> 00:07:31,430
And I think we actually have one
other mockumentary on this list,
140
00:07:31,870 --> 00:07:35,070
funny enough.
But it it was so funny because
141
00:07:35,390 --> 00:07:41,070
you have these adults, adults
talking to these actual kid
142
00:07:41,070 --> 00:07:45,190
actors and kids in the movie
just however they want.
143
00:07:45,350 --> 00:07:48,150
They're just like flat out
telling them like you suck.
144
00:07:48,270 --> 00:07:52,070
And it's just so funny to see
the, you know, it's like, oh, I
145
00:07:52,070 --> 00:07:54,710
would expect that them talking
like that to adults.
146
00:07:54,710 --> 00:07:58,410
But I guess maybe they do talk
to kids like well, listen, if
147
00:07:58,410 --> 00:08:02,330
you're trying to get a kid to
find the emotional core of the
148
00:08:02,330 --> 00:08:06,570
45 year old woman that they're
playing, you have to be telling
149
00:08:06,570 --> 00:08:09,090
them what they need.
To do my favorite part of this
150
00:08:09,090 --> 00:08:11,890
movie is when the two main
characters they're it's the
151
00:08:11,890 --> 00:08:16,010
first day of camp and they're
going to announce that year's
152
00:08:16,010 --> 00:08:17,930
play.
Either it's a musical or
153
00:08:17,930 --> 00:08:20,250
whatever, or it's a straight
play and.
154
00:08:21,540 --> 00:08:25,340
They like go through some of the
other plays that they've done.
155
00:08:25,420 --> 00:08:27,820
It's like the longest
introduction ever.
156
00:08:27,820 --> 00:08:31,980
And it's so, so funny.
Ben Platt was actually really
157
00:08:31,980 --> 00:08:33,900
funny.
In this we won't talk about Dear
158
00:08:33,900 --> 00:08:36,340
Evan Hansen, but that was a
misstep.
159
00:08:36,460 --> 00:08:40,780
This one?
And what I love is that Molly
160
00:08:40,780 --> 00:08:43,980
Gordon, who plays Rebecca,
Diane, Not only did she write
161
00:08:43,980 --> 00:08:38,260
it, but she also directed it.
Fantastic.
162
00:08:45,380 --> 00:08:47,580
Yeah.
And so I love seeing her have
163
00:08:47,580 --> 00:08:50,060
literally those 3 roles and
making this come to life.
164
00:08:50,420 --> 00:08:53,020
And as a pair, they played
really well off of each other.
165
00:08:53,020 --> 00:08:54,460
Yeah.
And throughout the film we
166
00:08:54,460 --> 00:08:58,460
actually see them as children
performing together.
167
00:08:58,580 --> 00:09:01,060
It's so sweet.
It's so sweet.
168
00:09:01,100 --> 00:09:03,940
So they actually have that
connection and grew up together
169
00:09:03,940 --> 00:09:07,260
so you could see when people are
friends in real life and are
170
00:09:07,260 --> 00:09:09,300
having fun.
You could see that on screen and
171
00:09:09,300 --> 00:09:11,900
you see that in theater camp.
Yeah, I loved all of the
172
00:09:11,940 --> 00:09:14,980
instructors and the different
personalities that they had.
173
00:09:14,980 --> 00:09:17,460
But you know, like the dance
instructor, the person that does
174
00:09:17,460 --> 00:09:20,260
the costumes, and it's just you
see these little vignettes?
175
00:09:20,420 --> 00:09:25,220
Of them and how what their
classes or their instructions
176
00:09:25,220 --> 00:09:27,820
are like, they're just so it's
so funny.
177
00:09:27,820 --> 00:09:30,900
It's so quick.
The movie is a crisp, like
178
00:09:30,900 --> 00:09:34,140
ninetyish minutes.
It's perfect and it's so quick.
179
00:09:34,140 --> 00:09:38,100
It's so funny.
And I mean, I don't know, I'm
180
00:09:38,100 --> 00:09:41,580
kind of bummed that it didn't
get like a super wide release
181
00:09:41,980 --> 00:09:45,500
like when we went to go see it.
I believe it was on the weekend.
182
00:09:45,580 --> 00:09:47,820
It was a Sunday morning or
Saturday morning.
183
00:09:47,940 --> 00:09:50,100
And we were the only people in
the theaters.
184
00:09:50,410 --> 00:09:52,730
Literally the there was two
other people that came in, but
185
00:09:52,730 --> 00:09:56,090
they worked at the movie theater
and they were doing their 15 and
186
00:09:56,090 --> 00:09:58,290
they like came and sat in the
theater and they got out.
187
00:09:58,570 --> 00:10:00,930
But you know that part I was
like, oh, this movie is actually
188
00:10:00,930 --> 00:10:02,490
good.
Like people should see this.
189
00:10:02,490 --> 00:10:05,890
I'm hoping whenever it's like on
video, on demand or like a wider
190
00:10:05,890 --> 00:10:08,810
release where people can see it,
more people do.
191
00:10:09,010 --> 00:10:10,690
It's going to be a cult classic,
I think.
192
00:10:10,690 --> 00:10:12,730
Yeah, I think so.
It definitely has that like,
193
00:10:12,730 --> 00:10:14,370
drop dead gorgeous feeling.
To it.
194
00:10:14,570 --> 00:10:17,050
Oh my God.
And that's one of the things
195
00:10:17,050 --> 00:10:20,460
that I love about this is that I
feel like we haven't had
196
00:10:20,780 --> 00:10:24,140
comedies recently.
You know what I mean?
197
00:10:24,140 --> 00:10:28,100
Like everything is a dramedy or
it's action or whatever.
198
00:10:28,100 --> 00:10:29,140
Like a completely different
thing.
199
00:10:29,380 --> 00:10:32,380
This is a comedy which I've been
missing.
200
00:10:32,380 --> 00:10:34,900
Like, you know, good comedy.
Good comedy, right.
201
00:10:34,900 --> 00:10:39,700
We had like bridesmaids, we had
sisters, we had, you know, we
202
00:10:39,700 --> 00:10:41,740
had those types of films.
But we haven't had that in a
203
00:10:41,740 --> 00:10:43,740
really long time, especially in
theaters.
204
00:10:44,060 --> 00:10:46,860
So it was nice seeing something
that literally made me laugh out
205
00:10:46,860 --> 00:10:48,340
loud.
Yeah, I think the only other
206
00:10:48,340 --> 00:10:50,620
movie.
This year, or in recent memory,
207
00:10:50,700 --> 00:10:52,660
I could obviously be wrong.
There's so much.
208
00:10:53,380 --> 00:10:56,980
No hard feelings.
Was really a good Jennifer
209
00:10:56,980 --> 00:10:59,300
Lawrence?
Yes, we just watched it.
210
00:10:59,300 --> 00:11:03,180
We just watched it.
That one was a good comedy
211
00:11:03,180 --> 00:11:06,380
because it was absurd, right?
And it's just like those movies
212
00:11:06,380 --> 00:11:09,110
where they go.
Real out of their way.
213
00:11:09,110 --> 00:11:11,190
It was just kind of camp it up.
Yeah, it was like a raunchy
214
00:11:11,190 --> 00:11:12,190
comedy.
Yeah, in a way.
215
00:11:12,270 --> 00:11:15,110
We're not talking about it
today, but no hard feelings.
216
00:11:15,310 --> 00:11:17,990
Full frontal.
Jennifer Lawrence on the beach
217
00:11:17,990 --> 00:11:20,350
beating the Shadow of.
People, but that was one of the
218
00:11:20,350 --> 00:11:23,110
greatest scenes I've seen in a
movie in a long time.
219
00:11:23,110 --> 00:11:27,310
This isn't on our list because
we try to get things that were a
220
00:11:27,310 --> 00:11:32,550
little more in the year.
Not super super recent, but that
221
00:11:32,550 --> 00:11:34,790
movie you should watch it like
it is.
222
00:11:35,210 --> 00:11:39,090
It's not like super bad level of
like raunchiness or whatever,
223
00:11:39,090 --> 00:11:41,570
but this is like, I feel like
more adulty.
224
00:11:41,690 --> 00:11:44,290
Yes, raunchiness.
But seeing Jennifer Lawrence
225
00:11:44,290 --> 00:11:47,410
just fully nude?
Like suplexing people on the
226
00:11:47,410 --> 00:11:49,850
beach?
I was is that Katniss training
227
00:11:49,890 --> 00:11:52,050
the whole?
I was like, is she?
228
00:11:52,250 --> 00:11:53,090
She is?
Yes.
229
00:11:53,170 --> 00:11:54,330
OK.
I couldn't believe it.
230
00:11:54,330 --> 00:11:59,690
I was like, holy smokes.
But anyway, there's no naked
231
00:11:59,690 --> 00:12:02,890
people in theater camp as far as
I can remember, and there's just
232
00:12:02,890 --> 00:12:04,850
funny things throughout it.
There's the main storyline
233
00:12:04,850 --> 00:12:10,130
between Amos and Rebecca Diane,
but we also have Ayo Adebri in
234
00:12:10,130 --> 00:12:12,690
this kind of like 2023 breakout
star.
235
00:12:12,850 --> 00:12:14,690
She's not in it enough, I
agreed.
236
00:12:14,810 --> 00:12:16,290
She's very much a minor
character.
237
00:12:16,290 --> 00:12:18,970
She's someone who lied on her
resume, who has absolutely no
238
00:12:18,970 --> 00:12:20,610
idea what she's doing at the
theater camp.
239
00:12:20,690 --> 00:12:25,530
I love that on her resume she
put literally every like she's
240
00:12:25,530 --> 00:12:28,730
proficient or.
Expert on everything.
241
00:12:29,010 --> 00:12:31,170
And so when they're like, asking
her, can you do this, she's
242
00:12:31,170 --> 00:12:34,730
like, yeah, yeah, totally.
And then they're like, OK, I'm
243
00:12:34,770 --> 00:12:37,730
here to teach you stage fight,
stage combat.
244
00:12:37,730 --> 00:12:41,130
So what is that to you?
She's asking the kids and
245
00:12:41,250 --> 00:12:43,930
they're like, huh?
It's so good.
246
00:12:43,930 --> 00:12:47,210
I feel like maybe this was
filmed like right before she got
247
00:12:47,210 --> 00:12:49,450
like super big.
So it was one of those things
248
00:12:49,450 --> 00:12:51,810
where she should have probably
been in it more.
249
00:12:51,810 --> 00:12:55,030
But I'm glad that she got the
time she does now.
250
00:12:55,030 --> 00:12:56,710
She's Emmy nominated.
Yeah.
251
00:12:56,790 --> 00:12:57,990
So of course.
Big time.
252
00:12:57,990 --> 00:13:00,990
The bear.
The bear, Yeah, she's fantastic
253
00:13:00,990 --> 00:13:03,110
in the bear.
Yeah, highly recommend this
254
00:13:03,150 --> 00:13:04,630
movie.
I highly recommend it too.
255
00:13:04,630 --> 00:13:06,430
I actually can't wait to watch
it again.
256
00:13:06,430 --> 00:13:11,270
It just made my heart so happy.
It was so ridiculous, but very
257
00:13:12,550 --> 00:13:14,350
It had its little heartfelt
moments through.
258
00:13:14,590 --> 00:13:18,720
It of course also great singing.
It's ridiculous what you're
259
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:20,360
singing about.
I mean, they're obviously
260
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,720
incredibly talented.
Well, we saw literal videos of
261
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,840
them as children performing.
They've been preparing this for
262
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,680
their whole life, 100%.
All right.
263
00:13:29,680 --> 00:13:32,320
So next thing that we missed and
I feel like this is kind of a
264
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:36,080
bigger one for our podcast
because when we started this,
265
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:39,560
really the only things that were
getting released were Marvel
266
00:13:39,560 --> 00:13:41,800
things, especially during the
the pandemic.
267
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:43,880
And so we covered a lot of that
stuff.
268
00:13:44,530 --> 00:13:48,610
Starting this Galaxy Three, we
didn't cover just cuz stuff was
269
00:13:48,610 --> 00:13:52,010
happening and we missed it in
theaters surprise.
270
00:13:53,330 --> 00:13:59,250
But we finally watched it and I
got to say fantastic that I
271
00:13:59,250 --> 00:14:03,970
think it was really good as like
a send off or like a complete
272
00:14:03,970 --> 00:14:07,130
trilogy for these characters and
James Gunn.
273
00:14:07,570 --> 00:14:11,450
It was more heartfelt and
emotional than I.
274
00:14:12,030 --> 00:14:15,590
Would have even remotely thought
a Guardians of the Galaxy movie
275
00:14:15,590 --> 00:14:20,310
would be because of what we got
before it was, you know, I it's
276
00:14:20,310 --> 00:14:23,830
so good.
Yes, I really enjoyed it.
277
00:14:23,870 --> 00:14:27,630
I think when it ended, what I
said to know was well, that was
278
00:14:27,630 --> 00:14:30,390
disturbing.
So I do want to give a little
279
00:14:30,390 --> 00:14:32,590
bit of a trigger warning for
people watching this.
280
00:14:32,870 --> 00:14:37,830
I am an animal lover, so if you
are sensitive to animal testing,
281
00:14:37,830 --> 00:14:41,270
animal cruelty, animal death,
this has all three of those
282
00:14:41,270 --> 00:14:44,430
things, right?
Those scenes were very hard for
283
00:14:44,430 --> 00:14:48,470
me to watch because the
characters were so well done, so
284
00:14:48,470 --> 00:14:51,190
beautiful, so sweet.
The voice work was, yes,
285
00:14:51,430 --> 00:14:54,950
phenomenal.
It really punched me in the gut,
286
00:14:55,070 --> 00:14:56,790
right.
And which it's supposed to do
287
00:14:56,790 --> 00:15:00,590
because we have Rocket, who is
tough, who's no nonsense, but
288
00:15:00,590 --> 00:15:02,310
we're learning where he came
from.
289
00:15:02,590 --> 00:15:04,550
And he was this beautiful little
creature.
290
00:15:04,550 --> 00:15:07,230
So tiny.
So tiny, but that was exploited
291
00:15:07,230 --> 00:15:10,560
and saw the evils of the world.
And that was a little hard for
292
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,840
me to take.
But overall, the movie's
293
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:13,960
fantastic.
I have to admit.
294
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,000
Noah and I watched.
I watched Midsomar for the first
295
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,640
time this summer.
I found this more disturbing
296
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,160
than midsomar.
To be fair, you did watch the
297
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,800
director's cut, so there was a
lot more like extended scenes of
298
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:29,720
crying and walking.
So, like, you know, it's a
299
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,280
little different, but.
I do agree.
300
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,600
Like, I like Mitzomar for the
atmosphere and like beautiful.
301
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,400
Beautiful movie.
This one was much more
302
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,240
disturbing and it's, I think
it's so interesting to think
303
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:45,560
about how, you know we can get
so attached to these like CGI
304
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,280
characters.
But I think it goes to show the
305
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,360
writing and like the situations
and everything.
306
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:52,800
It's just so good.
I mean the high evolutionary,
307
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:57,800
the worst villain the MCU has
ever had top Thanos for me.
308
00:15:58,120 --> 00:15:59,540
I don't.
There's nobody.
309
00:15:59,900 --> 00:16:02,620
He's the worst, absolutely.
He's like pure.
310
00:16:03,020 --> 00:16:06,100
Pure evil.
What he's doing, like Thanos, is
311
00:16:06,100 --> 00:16:09,100
complicated because he was evil,
but he was doing it for what he
312
00:16:09,100 --> 00:16:12,740
felt was the greater good.
The High Evolutionary is just
313
00:16:13,300 --> 00:16:15,740
playing Dozio path.
He's just like a megalomaniac.
314
00:16:16,780 --> 00:16:21,060
Yeah, And So what he wants is
just to basically destroy.
315
00:16:21,140 --> 00:16:22,580
He has no.
No, he wants to.
316
00:16:22,620 --> 00:16:25,020
No.
He wants to create the perfect
317
00:16:25,020 --> 00:16:28,460
being, but if it's not perfect,
then he destroys it and he has
318
00:16:28,460 --> 00:16:30,900
no qualms of doing that.
Of course not.
319
00:16:30,900 --> 00:16:32,780
No.
Yeah, there's a lot of scenes in
320
00:16:32,780 --> 00:16:36,060
it were very upsetting,
especially with our furry little
321
00:16:36,060 --> 00:16:41,060
friends and where those stories
and it was quite upsetting, but
322
00:16:41,540 --> 00:16:43,820
the cast as a whole and the
movie as a whole.
323
00:16:44,820 --> 00:16:48,020
Everybody got their moment to
shine, people got the send offs
324
00:16:48,220 --> 00:16:52,420
that they deserved, and I'm
curious to see where it goes.
325
00:16:52,420 --> 00:16:54,980
James Gunn is no longer doing
it.
326
00:16:55,140 --> 00:17:00,420
Supposedly he's now head of
creative with DC, so whoever
327
00:17:00,420 --> 00:17:03,740
takes up Guardians of the Galaxy
I feel like is gonna have.
328
00:17:04,530 --> 00:17:08,369
Quite a job on their hands.
Well, it's interesting, right?
329
00:17:08,369 --> 00:17:12,530
So at the end of this movie, it
sets up a new set of Guardians
330
00:17:12,530 --> 00:17:15,530
because our old Guardians have
now gone off.
331
00:17:15,849 --> 00:17:17,569
To do what they needed to do,
right?
332
00:17:17,569 --> 00:17:24,800
So Mantis has gone off with her
giant beasties and perfect.
333
00:17:24,839 --> 00:17:27,359
Yeah.
And I mean just everyone, Peter,
334
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,120
has gone back to Earth, and so
everybody's just kind of in
335
00:17:30,120 --> 00:17:32,960
their own little pocket.
But now Rocket is leading the
336
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:34,520
new Which?
Is so funny because I feel like
337
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,040
they the whole thing with the
movie and like before you saw
338
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,240
everybody was like Rocket's
going to die, Rocket's going to
339
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:40,400
die.
And it's like, well, no, he
340
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,560
didn't, almost didn't.
But now he's just the leader of
341
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:47,510
the, which is nice, I feel like.
Bradley Cooper is like really
342
00:17:47,510 --> 00:17:50,390
the only character that can keep
doing the character because it's
343
00:17:50,390 --> 00:17:52,470
just the voice.
You're right, but you don't have
344
00:17:52,470 --> 00:17:55,310
to see him, right, Right.
It's just the voice.
345
00:17:55,310 --> 00:17:58,430
But I like, I like the new team.
I'm excited to see where it
346
00:17:58,670 --> 00:18:00,990
goes.
I'm hoping Marvel does this
347
00:18:00,990 --> 00:18:03,310
thing where it's like they have
like cosmic stuff and they have
348
00:18:03,310 --> 00:18:05,350
like street level stuff.
They have Avengers stuff.
349
00:18:05,350 --> 00:18:07,630
So they're kind of separating it
a little bit because we're
350
00:18:07,630 --> 00:18:10,910
getting a lot of characters and
a lot more stuff.
351
00:18:11,470 --> 00:18:14,910
But I want to say this is this
movie is like.
352
00:18:15,540 --> 00:18:18,220
Really high on my list for
Marvel movies.
353
00:18:18,220 --> 00:18:21,380
It's just really good.
It's really good.
354
00:18:21,460 --> 00:18:23,220
It's very good.
Yeah, 100%.
355
00:18:23,220 --> 00:18:24,540
It's really good.
It has.
356
00:18:24,780 --> 00:18:27,860
It has all that stuff that
Marvel does so well when it's
357
00:18:27,860 --> 00:18:31,060
really, you know, knocking it
out of the park.
358
00:18:31,420 --> 00:18:35,020
It has all the action.
It has the clutching, your
359
00:18:35,020 --> 00:18:37,820
pearls, moments of will they
survive, won't they survive.
360
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,160
It has other worlds, really
great effects.
361
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:42,960
It just has all that.
Good stuff.
362
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,080
I want to say one of my
standouts for this because in
363
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,120
the other ones wasn't a standout
for me.
364
00:18:47,120 --> 00:18:49,960
Drax was great.
Drax was one of my favorite
365
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,040
parts in this movie, and I
actually really liked how they
366
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:55,800
handled the Peter and Gomorrah
situation because at the end of
367
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:57,560
the day, it's not his Gomorrah,
right?
368
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,600
And I liked that it was
addressed.
369
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:05,240
But man, that line where it was
like, we had fun, didn't we?
370
00:19:05,750 --> 00:19:10,350
And it's like, yeah, we did
like, no, what a, what a
371
00:19:10,350 --> 00:19:13,430
mindfuck of a situation to be,
to have the love of your life be
372
00:19:13,430 --> 00:19:15,350
in front of you.
But it's not actually the love
373
00:19:15,350 --> 00:19:18,910
of.
Life she you know, Oop, she I
374
00:19:18,910 --> 00:19:21,150
hit the mic.
I feel like she probably could
375
00:19:21,150 --> 00:19:23,830
have fallen in love with them
again, but they're not going to
376
00:19:23,830 --> 00:19:25,610
give her that chance.
She's gone.
377
00:19:25,890 --> 00:19:44,010
Yeah, she's gone.
His grandpa.
378
00:19:26,690 --> 00:19:29,810
And she's she has another group
of people that she's with.
379
00:19:29,850 --> 00:19:31,490
She's not a family.
Yeah, she has her own family.
380
00:19:31,490 --> 00:19:35,690
She's not a guardian anymore.
And it sucks and it's sad for us
381
00:19:35,690 --> 00:19:39,930
to see, but she's happy, you
know, and Peter is connecting to
382
00:19:39,970 --> 00:19:42,690
other people in his life that he
hasn't been with in a long time.
383
00:19:44,290 --> 00:19:46,410
Yeah, which knew him immediately
when he came out.
384
00:19:46,410 --> 00:19:48,690
And that was sweet.
The question is though, I mean,
385
00:19:48,690 --> 00:19:52,530
what happens to Star Lord now?
I there's been talks of like
386
00:19:52,530 --> 00:19:54,610
there might be a solo Star Lord
movie.
387
00:19:55,010 --> 00:19:58,170
I mean, in the comics, this
isn't something new.
388
00:19:58,210 --> 00:20:01,170
The Guardians team has kind of
rotated, you know, there's
389
00:20:01,170 --> 00:20:04,130
always been like one or two
stationary members from the
390
00:20:04,130 --> 00:20:08,770
original that stay and sometimes
they go off and form their own
391
00:20:08,770 --> 00:20:10,610
team.
So it's something that happens.
392
00:20:10,610 --> 00:20:12,690
And I like that they're
expanding that team.
393
00:20:13,890 --> 00:20:15,530
As far as Star Lord, it could be
anything.
394
00:20:15,530 --> 00:20:19,610
Him exploring his lineage, you
know, celestial stuff, whatever
395
00:20:19,610 --> 00:20:21,690
you know.
I don't know, I think it might
396
00:20:21,690 --> 00:20:26,330
be a little odd if it's just
like an Earth based and figuring
397
00:20:26,330 --> 00:20:28,610
out how the world is.
Now I'm just an Avenger now,
398
00:20:28,610 --> 00:20:31,130
basically, yeah, I wouldn't.
It's Chris Pratt.
399
00:20:31,130 --> 00:20:33,770
So I'm just like I've seen it
before, just watch Parks and
400
00:20:33,770 --> 00:20:34,890
Rec.
He acts the same way.
401
00:20:36,210 --> 00:20:38,610
He now creates a band called Mas
Rap.
402
00:20:38,730 --> 00:20:41,490
Yeah.
Oh my God, it's just Parks and
403
00:20:41,490 --> 00:20:42,850
Rec.
It's just Parks and Rec, but he
404
00:20:42,850 --> 00:20:45,650
only does covers of stuff from
like the 80s and 90s.
405
00:20:45,650 --> 00:20:47,450
Everything that's on his
cassette tapes, that's what he
406
00:20:47,450 --> 00:20:50,410
covers.
So also highly recommend.
407
00:20:50,410 --> 00:20:53,330
Everything on here we recommend
because we chose these because
408
00:20:53,330 --> 00:20:55,930
we liked them, Yeah.
So if you haven't watched it,
409
00:20:55,930 --> 00:20:58,410
which I think we're the only
people that didn't watch it.
410
00:20:59,810 --> 00:21:02,570
I couldn't believe how long we
went without seeing it.
411
00:21:02,570 --> 00:21:04,570
That was crazy and it was a long
movie.
412
00:21:04,890 --> 00:21:06,770
It was.
It was nice to be comfortable at
413
00:21:06,770 --> 00:21:12,850
home.
Yeah, watching it, that that's
414
00:21:12,850 --> 00:21:15,090
all anybody wants.
It's nice to be comfortable at
415
00:21:15,090 --> 00:21:17,450
home, yeah.
Right and.
416
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,000
End of my thesis.
That's life.
417
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,800
It's just nice to be comfortable
at home, all right?
418
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:24,840
Do you want to do this next?
One, let's move on.
419
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:29,960
So we are taking David Bautista
from Guardians and we're now
420
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,680
moving to knock down.
Did you call him David Bautista?
421
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,040
Yeah, I have that written down.
I think it's Dave, is it?
422
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:39,400
Dave, I wonder if IMDb has it as
David because nobody calls him
423
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:40,240
that.
The list?
424
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,120
That was weird, right?
It sounded wrong.
425
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:44,720
How bizarre.
Nobody calls him that.
426
00:21:46,710 --> 00:21:49,390
Sorry, everyone really threw us
off.
427
00:21:49,430 --> 00:21:55,670
But continue, continue.
So we went, we started at really
428
00:21:55,670 --> 00:21:58,910
happy comedy, then we went to a
mix and now we're just going
429
00:21:58,910 --> 00:22:01,790
into full on horror, despair,
despair.
430
00:21:50,590 --> 00:21:53,110
So we're going from one
depressing thing to another.
431
00:22:01,790 --> 00:22:06,470
So we are going to knock at the
Cabin, which was directed by M
432
00:22:06,470 --> 00:22:09,390
Night Shyamalan and is based on
the novel The Cabin at the End
433
00:22:09,390 --> 00:22:10,230
of the World.
Yes.
434
00:22:10,310 --> 00:22:12,470
So Noah and I both read this
book.
435
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,480
Had completely different
feelings about the book.
436
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:17,440
By the way, yes, there were
things in the book that I
437
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:24,760
thought were unforgivable.
Yeah, well, OK, let's spoiler if
438
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:26,960
you haven't read the book, we're
probably gonna mention the book.
439
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:30,440
Yeah, so like, skip over this
until the next one if you don't
440
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:31,240
want.
To very good point.
441
00:22:31,360 --> 00:22:36,150
This movie, I was very cautious
about this movie one because of
442
00:22:36,150 --> 00:22:39,750
the director and Night Shyamalan
can be very hit or mess, you
443
00:22:39,750 --> 00:22:42,670
know he has stuff like the
Village, but he also has stuff
444
00:22:42,670 --> 00:22:45,030
like Avatar there, Last
Airbender.
445
00:22:45,030 --> 00:22:47,550
We don't talk about that, you
know no one should talk about
446
00:22:47,550 --> 00:22:49,830
that and the happening, you
know, so it's.
447
00:22:49,830 --> 00:22:55,430
I like the happening.
Stop, Marky Mark being like the
448
00:22:55,430 --> 00:22:58,390
trees.
What?
449
00:22:58,470 --> 00:23:00,990
Exactly, Exactly.
No, Zoe Deschanel.
450
00:23:00,990 --> 00:23:04,220
Like, oh, the trees.
No.
451
00:23:04,340 --> 00:23:08,260
So you like making I like.
You don't mention the 6th sense,
452
00:23:08,580 --> 00:23:10,980
or you don't mention signs,
which are like two of the
453
00:23:10,980 --> 00:23:13,660
strongest signs in his catalog.
Don't do signs.
454
00:23:13,660 --> 00:23:15,220
Signs is amazing.
I don't do signs.
455
00:23:15,220 --> 00:23:16,380
I know, I know.
You don't like aliens?
456
00:23:16,380 --> 00:23:17,900
No, it's fine.
I love aliens.
457
00:23:18,220 --> 00:23:19,700
Not those aliens.
He's scared of aliens.
458
00:23:19,700 --> 00:23:21,860
I can watch Alien Aliens, but
not.
459
00:23:22,660 --> 00:23:24,740
And you didn't really.
And you didn't have a problem
460
00:23:25,220 --> 00:23:31,220
with, oh for Christ's sake, the
Keke Palmer.
461
00:23:31,900 --> 00:23:34,020
The Nope cuz there was no aliens
in it.
462
00:23:34,660 --> 00:23:37,460
It was just the big.
That thing sucked people up and
463
00:23:37,460 --> 00:23:38,700
ate them.
That was amazing.
464
00:23:38,700 --> 00:23:41,180
I loved that movie so much.
We covered that on our Patreon
465
00:23:43,620 --> 00:23:45,220
Okay, But so knock out the
cabin.
466
00:23:45,500 --> 00:23:49,760
It's a two dads with their
daughter.
467
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,680
When 4 strangers come.
It's a home invasion.
468
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,880
But the entire movie takes place
pretty much in the living room
469
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:59,800
and they have to make a choice
to kill one of the three of them
470
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,400
to save the world, right?
And if they don't do it, they
471
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,920
have to kill each other, which
will bring about a plague on the
472
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,200
earth.
And if by the end of that they
473
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,760
don't sacrifice one of
themselves, the world ends.
474
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:12,920
Yes, these four people had
visions.
475
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:14,960
They don't know each other.
They were brought together.
476
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,720
They found each other.
The Internet.
477
00:24:18,450 --> 00:24:19,930
Reddit.
I don't know if it was Reddit,
478
00:24:20,210 --> 00:24:21,530
but they knew exactly where to
go.
479
00:24:21,530 --> 00:24:23,170
They had these visions, they
knew what they had to wear.
480
00:24:23,170 --> 00:24:28,490
And they know that if Eric and
Andrew and when don't decide to
481
00:24:28,490 --> 00:24:32,450
kill one of them, they the four
then have to kill themselves.
482
00:24:32,450 --> 00:24:35,250
I just said that.
I know, but I was just kidding.
483
00:24:35,530 --> 00:24:41,410
I'm just kidding.
So they have this desperation
484
00:24:41,410 --> 00:24:45,490
because they know that, one,
they're gonna have to start
485
00:24:45,490 --> 00:24:47,770
killing themselves.
And two, once they'll kill
486
00:24:47,770 --> 00:24:49,770
themselves, the world is going
to end.
487
00:24:49,850 --> 00:24:53,210
Yeah, I feel like M Night
Shyamalan really does a good job
488
00:24:53,410 --> 00:24:57,290
with his movies when he puts his
characters in like very specific
489
00:24:57,290 --> 00:24:59,770
situations where it's not like
super big.
490
00:24:59,770 --> 00:25:02,050
You know, if you think about the
movies that he did that were
491
00:25:02,050 --> 00:25:04,880
massive like the ones I
mentioned before, they don't
492
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,600
tend to do too well.
But the ones where like you
493
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:11,120
know, lady in the water or the
village or anything like that,
494
00:25:11,120 --> 00:25:14,360
where it's like people in a
specific setting, he does a very
495
00:25:14,360 --> 00:25:15,800
good job with those.
I agree.
496
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,880
I feel like this one, he did a
good job of making sure
497
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:23,720
everybody got the right amount
of time they needed for you to
498
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:28,270
one get an attachment to them.
But also question everybody in
499
00:25:28,350 --> 00:25:30,510
in that room except for when,
because she's an Angel.
500
00:25:30,590 --> 00:25:34,230
My gosh, she was just the most
adorable little child.
501
00:25:34,510 --> 00:25:37,630
One of the other choices that he
made that I really liked.
502
00:25:37,710 --> 00:25:40,990
I don't like hyper violence, so
I don't like Saw.
503
00:25:40,990 --> 00:25:43,510
I don't really love Scream and
things like that.
504
00:25:44,150 --> 00:25:47,790
So in this, when those moments
come when someone is going to
505
00:25:47,790 --> 00:25:51,550
basically be bludgeoned to
death, it kind of happens.
506
00:25:52,060 --> 00:26:08,740
Just below the frame, right?
I mean, I think it was fine.
507
00:25:54,460 --> 00:25:57,740
So we see the weapon coming
down, we hear it, but we don't
508
00:25:57,740 --> 00:26:01,220
see it connect.
And I think it added to the what
509
00:26:01,260 --> 00:26:05,260
is going on right here?
And I I personally liked that
510
00:26:05,260 --> 00:26:07,460
decision.
Was that not something?
511
00:26:08,740 --> 00:26:11,300
I think he did it well.
Like there's sometimes where
512
00:26:11,300 --> 00:26:13,980
they do it where they just cut
the black or like they don't
513
00:26:13,980 --> 00:26:16,660
really do the sound or like, you
know, So I think he did it
514
00:26:16,820 --> 00:26:19,580
correctly.
I think the tone of it was
515
00:26:19,580 --> 00:26:22,440
right.
My biggest problem with the
516
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,920
movie, I liked it.
I feel like if I didn't read the
517
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:31,560
book I would have liked it more.
The book does of course a much
518
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:35,400
better job of the you know,
who's right?
519
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,160
Is this real?
Is this not real?
520
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:41,120
What is happening?
I feel like in the movie there
521
00:26:41,120 --> 00:26:45,000
was more hand holding and like
especially the end where you
522
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,400
know the the ones that survive
are just like, yeah, the
523
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:52,560
world's, the world's ending.
But in the book you don't know
524
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:54,240
that.
You still don't know that
525
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,560
because it's more of extended
And you know when does die.
526
00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:01,360
Unfortunately in the book, yeah,
I know, I know, it's very sad,
527
00:27:01,360 --> 00:27:05,280
but I think it added to the book
and what it was trying to say.
528
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,760
It was more ambiguous is what I.
Yes, I like the word for it.
529
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:12,560
And so we had a conversation of
like, I think you believe it did
530
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:14,920
happen and I didn't believe it
happened.
531
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:18,080
I just thought that these people
were just sharing some type of
532
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,240
weird thing, but it wasn't
actually true.
533
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,240
But you know, so I think that's
the point, right?
534
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:25,600
Anybody can have their own
ending.
535
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:29,120
I agree that the book definitely
did a better job throughout the
536
00:27:29,120 --> 00:27:33,920
entire book of not knowing who's
actually right because he would
537
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,440
be like, Oh well, that was
filmed 4 hours ago.
538
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:38,760
You could have easily known that
this was going to come on
539
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,240
because you've been checking the
watch and it's like moments like
540
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,530
that where it's like, Oh yeah, I
guess that is right.
541
00:27:46,130 --> 00:27:50,090
And it's an interesting thing as
far as the storytelling because
542
00:27:50,090 --> 00:27:55,410
we're introduced to our family
first, so we hold a place for
543
00:27:55,410 --> 00:27:43,930
them.
Yeah.
544
00:27:43,930 --> 00:27:45,770
So, like, this is prerecorded.
It's not.
545
00:27:56,210 --> 00:27:58,730
And then when these people come,
you're questioning whether this
546
00:27:58,730 --> 00:28:02,170
is right.
So you want the family to
547
00:28:02,170 --> 00:28:06,010
escape, but at the same time you
don't want the end of the world
548
00:28:06,010 --> 00:28:10,450
to happen, so you're.
It's very confusing.
549
00:28:10,490 --> 00:28:13,130
Would you make the choice or
would you just let everybody
550
00:28:13,130 --> 00:28:17,450
die?
I think as the evidence grew, I
551
00:28:17,450 --> 00:28:20,170
think I would.
I would make the choice.
552
00:28:20,170 --> 00:28:22,050
I wouldn't, right?
I know you wouldn't.
553
00:28:22,130 --> 00:28:24,010
I'd be like, no, absolutely not.
Yeah, it.
554
00:28:24,090 --> 00:28:27,730
Ends it ends clearly in this I
am Eric and you are Andrew,
555
00:28:28,090 --> 00:28:30,010
right?
I mean, that is just the end of
556
00:28:30,010 --> 00:28:33,130
it.
But see, I'm going to be like I
557
00:28:33,130 --> 00:28:35,890
saw a vision as a very whispered
in my ear.
558
00:28:36,050 --> 00:28:40,440
You have to kill me.
Absolutely not, no, no.
559
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:43,560
No, it's it's the trolley
problem.
560
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:46,120
I know.
But see like that in the, in the
561
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:48,560
book, in the movie, they did
kind of do a good job of making
562
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:50,600
him seem like he was coming to
their side.
563
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:54,040
And I'm like this fucking guy,
this guy like, oh, you're just
564
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,320
going to believe these people
killing each other in front of
565
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:57,080
you.
Cool.
566
00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,920
Yeah, I mean, I do.
It's hard, right?
567
00:28:59,960 --> 00:29:02,560
I mean, no, it's not.
I don't think immediately when
568
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:04,720
they walk in and be like this is
having me like, all right.
569
00:29:05,060 --> 00:29:06,860
Yeah, time for me to die.
Yeah.
570
00:29:07,020 --> 00:29:11,140
I do think though that as this
movie went on, it did seem more
571
00:29:11,140 --> 00:29:12,660
feasible that they were telling
the truth.
572
00:29:12,860 --> 00:29:16,180
I think the movie it does, the
movie is like because you see
573
00:29:16,180 --> 00:29:17,620
planes falling out of the sky,
right?
574
00:29:17,620 --> 00:29:20,500
You do see all of that stuff
that they're saying in the book.
575
00:29:20,500 --> 00:29:22,100
You don't necessarily see all of
it.
576
00:29:22,100 --> 00:29:24,820
It's more of like this is
happening, is it?
577
00:29:25,180 --> 00:29:30,180
So I do I I think the home
invasion part was better in the
578
00:29:30,180 --> 00:29:33,700
book, but I think seeing these
performances and them doing what
579
00:29:33,700 --> 00:29:35,940
they I did in the movie, it was
great.
580
00:29:35,940 --> 00:29:39,780
I think it's a great thriller.
It's unique in itself.
581
00:29:39,780 --> 00:29:42,820
So I liked it.
Yeah, I liked it too at a
582
00:29:42,940 --> 00:29:46,020
Bautista.
Just David Bautista as I call.
583
00:29:48,140 --> 00:29:49,940
Yeah, I agree.
I think everyone did a really
584
00:29:49,940 --> 00:29:52,260
good job.
It's a very small ensemble cast.
585
00:29:52,860 --> 00:29:57,140
I think they really, I mean
Rupert Grint is in it, not long.
586
00:29:57,300 --> 00:30:03,140
Not long, RIP First to die.
But I think that everybody
587
00:30:03,380 --> 00:30:07,340
really took their role and
chewed the scenery and lived in
588
00:30:07,340 --> 00:30:09,700
that and and I I liked it, I
really liked it.
589
00:30:09,700 --> 00:30:12,580
And plus, there's something to
be said of although it is
590
00:30:12,580 --> 00:30:16,780
violence within it, it is nice
to see a horror movie where
591
00:30:16,780 --> 00:30:20,460
there are two gay dads as main
characters.
592
00:30:20,460 --> 00:30:24,420
Yeah, you you see gay people
sometimes, but you don't see two
593
00:30:24,500 --> 00:30:28,090
adult parents that are gay,
right?
594
00:30:28,090 --> 00:30:31,810
You you very.
I don't know of any other horror
595
00:30:31,810 --> 00:30:34,250
movie that does have gay
parents.
596
00:30:34,250 --> 00:30:37,370
There probably is, but.
And that all that, I just like,
597
00:30:37,450 --> 00:30:39,930
you know, coming to a party, you
know, sort of thing.
598
00:30:39,930 --> 00:30:41,490
It's like, no, these are these
people.
599
00:30:41,490 --> 00:30:43,410
They are on vacation.
This is what they're doing.
600
00:30:43,450 --> 00:30:45,050
Representation.
Imagine.
601
00:30:45,050 --> 00:30:49,050
It matters.
All right, Our next pick.
602
00:30:49,050 --> 00:30:50,290
We're getting close to the end
here.
603
00:30:50,770 --> 00:30:52,530
We're getting close to the end
here.
604
00:30:52,530 --> 00:30:59,640
Our next, our next pick I feel
like is something that we, it's
605
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,960
weird, we haven't talked about
ever, ever.
606
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,080
I think we've very, like
mentioned it a little bit
607
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,480
because why not.
And we post about it quite a bit
608
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:11,840
on social media, what we do in
the Shadows Season 5 and just
609
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:13,680
what we do in the Shadows in
general, in general.
610
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:19,600
I, you know, based off of the
movie Taika Waititi, they made a
611
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:25,080
show of that mockumentary
vampire familiar situation and
612
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:28,520
expanded on it.
This show, it's five seasons in,
613
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:32,800
which I think is insane.
It's still just as funny.
614
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,960
It's not not funny like it used
to be.
615
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:39,120
I feel like in the first season
there was a little more like
616
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,720
really big laugh out loud
moments because you're getting
617
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:46,160
used to those characters and
seeing this situation, but still
618
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,880
they find a way to make it so
funny.
619
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,240
And I love these care.
I love these vampires.
620
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,640
The vampires, they as
characters, as we've gone
621
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,240
through these years with them,
they themselves just keep
622
00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:01,680
getting more and more ridiculous
and I'm here for that.
623
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:06,440
I want to see them become bigger
and funnier and do more
624
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:09,120
ridiculous things.
And if you think about it, the
625
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:12,560
these vampires, I mean, have
been around for hundreds of
626
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:16,320
years and they still are just
fools.
627
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:21,000
In our current world, they still
dress in their garb.
628
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,720
That is the they can't let it.
Go It's so funny that they just
629
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,840
still look like Victorian.
Yes, why?
630
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:33,440
And I just think that this cast
is so strong, so, so good, so
631
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:36,360
good.
Who who is your favorite vampire
632
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:38,600
or character?
Doesn't have to be a vampire.
633
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:45,640
I feel like as time has gone on,
it's changed, OK, I think at the
634
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:49,260
base of it.
Nadja will always be my favorite
635
00:32:49,740 --> 00:32:52,860
but really Nandor has had his
moments.
636
00:32:53,100 --> 00:32:59,020
But I think that Laszlo, in this
season especially, really shown
637
00:32:59,140 --> 00:33:02,900
he's he's my all time favorite.
My low is my all time favorite.
638
00:33:02,900 --> 00:33:06,340
I love him because he's just so
ridiculous.
639
00:33:06,340 --> 00:33:09,340
I feel like he's also a mystery
most of the time.
640
00:33:09,780 --> 00:33:12,860
But I I just love him.
I love the way he says things.
641
00:33:12,900 --> 00:33:18,700
Oh, yes, New York City.
Well, I think that Matt Berry
642
00:33:18,700 --> 00:33:23,460
has been making a lot of really
good choices, and that's one of
643
00:33:23,460 --> 00:33:25,860
them.
How he says things, how he just
644
00:33:25,860 --> 00:33:29,220
presents himself.
I also love just within them,
645
00:33:29,220 --> 00:33:33,220
the like, sexual fluidity.
It's kind of like when you've
646
00:33:33,220 --> 00:33:37,580
been alive for centuries.
There is no gay straight by Pan.
647
00:33:37,580 --> 00:33:38,980
You just are.
I just.
648
00:33:38,980 --> 00:33:42,240
I also love with them.
How?
649
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,240
Into it.
Both of them are like, he'll say
650
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:48,880
something like, yeah, me and
Nando are like, typically whack
651
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:50,560
each other off and not just
like.
652
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:55,200
I did that yesterday.
It's like, it's so funny.
653
00:33:55,520 --> 00:34:01,160
I mean, I love all of them.
I think the only thing with this
654
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:05,400
season, so season five, one of
the biggest things is Guillermo,
655
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:11,880
whatever you want to call him,
got bit by Derek because we all
656
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:14,440
know, yeah, that's Derek.
We all know that he's been
657
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:17,920
asking Nandor forever.
Since he was what, like 13?
658
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:19,560
He turned into a vampire.
He still didn't.
659
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:23,159
Over that course of the time we
find out he has Van Helsing
660
00:34:23,159 --> 00:34:25,400
blood.
He gets bit by Derek.
661
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:31,010
This whole season is very Laslo
heavy because Laszlo and
662
00:34:31,010 --> 00:34:33,850
Guillermo are trying to figure
out why he's stuck in this like
663
00:34:33,850 --> 00:34:39,489
vampire limbo and it made for
some great episodes and I one of
664
00:34:39,489 --> 00:34:41,250
my favorite episodes is the
hybrids.
665
00:34:41,449 --> 00:34:45,929
Yes, this little like animal
hybrids that yeah, the frog that
666
00:34:45,929 --> 00:34:50,409
looked just like it's so it's so
good.
667
00:34:50,810 --> 00:34:56,210
I did feel like the the solution
or the resolution with that,
668
00:34:56,210 --> 00:35:00,060
when Nandor does finally find
out that he'd let somebody else
669
00:35:00,060 --> 00:35:04,620
turn him into, yeah, was like it
was dealt with very quickly.
670
00:35:04,660 --> 00:35:07,940
It was dealt with very quickly
and there it's interesting that
671
00:35:08,020 --> 00:35:11,660
what this whole series has been
leading to, right sort of
672
00:35:11,660 --> 00:35:15,340
happened at the end of last
season and for Guillermo I
673
00:35:15,340 --> 00:35:18,740
should say for for Guillermo's
character and now has been
674
00:35:19,380 --> 00:35:23,260
resolved, resolved and undone.
So now what's next for
675
00:35:23,260 --> 00:35:24,470
Guillermo?
I don't know.
676
00:35:24,470 --> 00:35:26,070
I think.
I think that's the interesting
677
00:35:26,070 --> 00:35:28,190
part.
I do like that they gave him the
678
00:35:28,190 --> 00:35:31,830
choice of, like, do you want to
be a vampire or do you want to
679
00:35:31,830 --> 00:35:33,630
be a human?
And I like that Mandor was the
680
00:35:33,630 --> 00:35:36,270
one to ask him that.
And he's like, I want to be a
681
00:35:36,270 --> 00:35:39,390
human.
So it's actually, where does it
682
00:35:39,390 --> 00:35:41,910
leave him?
Because for so long he wanted to
683
00:35:41,910 --> 00:35:44,790
be a vampire.
He became a vampire hunter
684
00:35:44,790 --> 00:35:46,990
before he became a vampire.
And then he's like, you know
685
00:35:46,990 --> 00:35:48,670
what?
I don't think I could kill
686
00:35:48,670 --> 00:35:50,150
people.
I could kill vampires.
687
00:35:50,270 --> 00:35:51,550
I can't kill people in his
blood.
688
00:35:51,630 --> 00:35:57,130
It's it's in his blood.
Guillermo de la Cruz I do wish
689
00:35:57,450 --> 00:36:01,170
one thing I was missing from
this one was a little bit more
690
00:36:01,170 --> 00:36:05,010
gay.
Gay is in where gay, Gay is
691
00:36:05,130 --> 00:36:08,330
There was hot, Gay is hot.
There was the Pride Parade,
692
00:36:08,330 --> 00:36:10,250
there was, and I loved that a
lot.
693
00:36:10,250 --> 00:36:12,810
But like, Guillermo was not
involved in that.
694
00:36:13,330 --> 00:36:14,850
At all.
He was just in the float at the
695
00:36:14,850 --> 00:36:16,290
end, remember?
He's like holding a sign that
696
00:36:16,290 --> 00:36:17,890
says gay guy or something.
That was great.
697
00:36:17,930 --> 00:36:21,430
I did love that, like credits
seem where they're all like,
698
00:36:21,430 --> 00:36:23,910
partying so good.
But I felt like in the last
699
00:36:23,910 --> 00:36:25,790
season we kind of got more of
like.
700
00:36:25,790 --> 00:36:27,830
We had a we had a romantic
interest.
701
00:36:27,830 --> 00:36:29,950
We had him coming out to his
family, yeah.
702
00:36:29,950 --> 00:36:31,550
And now, this season, it was
really nothing.
703
00:36:31,550 --> 00:36:33,910
I'm not saying it needed to be a
big focus, but it was like, oh
704
00:36:33,910 --> 00:36:35,550
OK, more gay.
Fine.
705
00:36:35,910 --> 00:36:37,230
Gay is in.
Gay is in.
706
00:36:37,230 --> 00:36:38,550
Gay is hot.
Lazlo says it.
707
00:36:39,310 --> 00:36:41,580
He told us.
I also think this season we got
708
00:36:41,580 --> 00:36:44,020
a lot more of not think it
happened.
709
00:36:44,020 --> 00:36:46,580
We got a lot more of the guide
with Christian Shaw.
710
00:36:47,580 --> 00:36:49,420
I love her too and I'm really
happy to see.
711
00:36:49,420 --> 00:36:52,860
So 30 Rock is one of my favorite
shows, but unfortunately when
712
00:36:52,860 --> 00:36:55,380
Kristen Shaw came in it, it was
like they had jumped the shark.
713
00:36:55,380 --> 00:36:57,540
The character of Hazel was just
awful.
714
00:36:57,780 --> 00:37:00,620
So it scares me when they bring
her into a property a little
715
00:37:00,620 --> 00:37:02,380
late.
It's like Nope, the series is
716
00:37:02,380 --> 00:37:03,260
going to.
Yeah, here we go.
717
00:37:03,260 --> 00:37:04,740
Oh no, we're going to have
another 30 Rock.
718
00:37:04,740 --> 00:37:06,900
But they're doing such a great
job with the guide.
719
00:37:07,260 --> 00:37:11,370
And she is, I mean.
I I think she wormed her way
720
00:37:11,370 --> 00:37:14,890
into our hearts with Louise and
Bob's Burgers, so now she's just
721
00:37:14,890 --> 00:37:17,130
a welcome addition.
Louise is one of my favorite
722
00:37:17,130 --> 00:37:20,930
characters in television
history, so I automatically love
723
00:37:20,930 --> 00:37:24,010
her.
I think in this one she found a
724
00:37:24,010 --> 00:37:27,770
way to like make a character
that we kind of know already
725
00:37:28,170 --> 00:37:32,370
more interesting, if that makes
sense.
726
00:37:32,370 --> 00:37:35,300
Like, we've seen these kind of
characters before, but I like
727
00:37:35,300 --> 00:37:38,820
that they just kind of just
included her in like the main
728
00:37:38,820 --> 00:37:41,620
cast this season, right?
But this whole time she was just
729
00:37:41,620 --> 00:37:44,820
trying to be actually included
and it just.
730
00:37:45,500 --> 00:37:48,540
She just wanted to be friends.
Please, just let me be your
731
00:37:48,540 --> 00:37:50,020
friend.
She created hexes.
732
00:37:50,020 --> 00:37:51,900
She kidnapped all of them.
She would.
733
00:37:52,620 --> 00:37:54,260
It's just insane.
I love it.
734
00:37:54,300 --> 00:37:56,380
I love it, you know?
So good.
735
00:37:56,380 --> 00:37:59,500
So one of the other things that
I loved about this season is
736
00:37:59,500 --> 00:38:02,730
that.
With the ending with everything
737
00:38:02,730 --> 00:38:06,130
that happens with Guillermo,
they actually all love
738
00:38:06,370 --> 00:38:09,090
Guillermo.
Oh yeah, None of them wanted
739
00:38:09,210 --> 00:38:11,690
anything to happen.
Whereas in the beginning he was
740
00:38:11,690 --> 00:38:13,290
like, they couldn't stand him.
He was just, they're human,
741
00:38:13,290 --> 00:38:17,410
familiar, you know?
But now you can see what Nadja
742
00:38:17,410 --> 00:38:20,250
and Laszlo were trying to do to
for him to protect him.
743
00:38:20,970 --> 00:38:22,450
Guillermo was part of their
crew.
744
00:38:22,490 --> 00:38:24,770
Surprising or not surprising for
Nadja.
745
00:38:25,130 --> 00:38:27,450
Yeah, I feel like because she's
very ruthless in a lot of
746
00:38:27,450 --> 00:38:31,090
things, but especially if it
doesn't involve Laszlo.
747
00:38:31,530 --> 00:38:34,690
Very surprising for her.
I'm glad that she kept that
748
00:38:34,690 --> 00:38:38,170
secret as long as she did.
Yeah, I'm glad we also have an
749
00:38:38,170 --> 00:38:42,250
adult Colin Robinson, because
that baby Colin Robinson, aside
750
00:38:42,250 --> 00:38:45,410
from the Harpy situation.
You think that was hilarious?
751
00:38:45,930 --> 00:38:48,770
That I'm just glad we have, like
an adult.
752
00:38:48,810 --> 00:38:51,250
I want more of the energy
vampire stuff.
753
00:38:51,250 --> 00:38:53,410
We got a tiny taste of it this
season.
754
00:38:53,490 --> 00:38:57,290
I want more.
I so personally, I'm a big fan
755
00:38:57,290 --> 00:39:00,090
of Vanessa Bayer.
So whenever she guest stars on
756
00:39:00,090 --> 00:39:03,690
this show as Evie, the other
energy vampire, it's like it's
757
00:39:03,690 --> 00:39:08,130
the exact character that she
should be playing and it's so
758
00:39:08,130 --> 00:39:09,610
good to see her.
It's so good.
759
00:39:09,690 --> 00:39:11,570
Yeah, I'm.
I'm excited to see where the
760
00:39:11,570 --> 00:39:14,170
show goes.
I'm curious on how much longer
761
00:39:14,170 --> 00:39:17,210
they're gonna do it, because
five seasons for a comedy like
762
00:39:17,210 --> 00:39:20,210
this is a feat.
Especially now.
763
00:39:20,210 --> 00:39:23,530
I mean, I feel like things are
ending earlier and earlier.
764
00:39:23,530 --> 00:39:27,210
We're getting 3 Four Seasons Max
because the greedy ghouls don't
765
00:39:27,210 --> 00:39:28,810
give a shit.
Very true.
766
00:39:28,930 --> 00:39:30,370
But whatever.
What abs.
767
00:39:30,490 --> 00:39:33,330
There's five seasons.
I mean, I'm, I'm thinking we're
768
00:39:33,330 --> 00:39:36,010
definitely getting a Season 6
and I'm looking forward to it
769
00:39:36,010 --> 00:39:38,250
already.
Me too.
770
00:39:38,530 --> 00:39:41,250
All right, next one.
This is an Apple TV.
771
00:39:42,370 --> 00:39:43,810
Apple plus.
Yeah.
772
00:39:43,810 --> 00:39:46,590
Is that Apple, Apple Plus?
Is that what it's?
773
00:39:46,590 --> 00:39:50,590
Called Apple Plus TV.
Apple subscription Plus TV.
774
00:39:50,590 --> 00:39:53,790
Yeah.
So this one I feel like is one
775
00:39:53,790 --> 00:39:56,510
of the breakout comedies of this
year.
776
00:39:57,350 --> 00:39:59,950
And I didn't see a lot of people
talking about it, which does
777
00:39:59,950 --> 00:40:02,350
kind of make me a little sad,
especially with the cast.
778
00:40:02,870 --> 00:40:06,750
So this is Platonic and this
came out in May of this year.
779
00:40:07,030 --> 00:40:10,150
It stars Rose Byrne and Seth
Rogen.
780
00:40:11,590 --> 00:40:14,190
I mean, I just do.
Do I need to say anymore?
781
00:40:14,670 --> 00:40:18,750
They, yeah, they have such
chemistry together.
782
00:40:19,110 --> 00:40:22,870
They are just hilarious.
This is one of those things that
783
00:40:22,870 --> 00:40:27,150
came out weekly that I was every
week going there's a new
784
00:40:27,150 --> 00:40:29,070
platonic like.
I couldn't wait to watch it.
785
00:40:29,070 --> 00:40:34,510
And we were both excited for it.
Sorry.
786
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:39,680
That was the most dramatic
sneeze.
787
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:43,720
I felt it tickling in my nose.
I don't think I've ever sneezed
788
00:40:43,720 --> 00:40:45,880
on the podcast before.
There's the first time for
789
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:49,840
everything, totally smokes that
took over my brain.
790
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:52,160
There's so much that goes
through my mind when some, like
791
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:55,520
when like a bodily thing happens
on the podcast where I'm like,
792
00:40:56,500 --> 00:40:59,780
do we cut, Do I run away?
Do I just go under the desk?
793
00:40:59,820 --> 00:41:01,980
Do so, I don't.
Know ooh, go under the desk next
794
00:41:01,980 --> 00:41:05,980
time and you know I'm gonna hit
my head on the way back up.
795
00:41:06,100 --> 00:41:10,500
But this back to the the show.
Sorry this one was so good
796
00:41:10,500 --> 00:41:14,700
because not only did it, you
know, go away from the cliches
797
00:41:14,820 --> 00:41:18,780
of there can't be a platonic
relationship between a male and
798
00:41:18,780 --> 00:41:22,100
a female or friends or anything
like that.
799
00:41:22,100 --> 00:41:24,820
And it does.
This is literally a show about
800
00:41:24,820 --> 00:41:27,410
two friends.
And one of the the things
801
00:41:27,410 --> 00:41:30,610
throughout the the series is
like, are they actually friends?
802
00:41:30,930 --> 00:41:34,730
But then it cuts to them being
absolutely ridiculous, kicking
803
00:41:34,730 --> 00:41:38,090
over, you know, rental scooters.
And it's like, yeah, they're
804
00:41:38,090 --> 00:41:39,730
just friends.
They're just friends.
805
00:41:40,130 --> 00:41:42,450
One of the interesting things
about this that I like so much
806
00:41:42,490 --> 00:41:46,530
is that when we have sitcoms, a
lot of times, like when the
807
00:41:46,530 --> 00:41:49,850
original run of Will and Grace,
it's about these friends.
808
00:41:49,850 --> 00:41:54,050
We see them as friends, and as
the series goes on, we sort of
809
00:41:54,050 --> 00:41:55,930
see a fallout between them,
right?
810
00:41:56,130 --> 00:41:57,850
And that's how the original
series sort of ends.
811
00:41:57,850 --> 00:41:59,490
There's a fallout.
They really don't talk for
812
00:41:59,490 --> 00:42:00,930
years.
They come back together good.
813
00:42:01,770 --> 00:42:06,930
God grace is the worst grace in
re watching it grace is like the
814
00:42:06,930 --> 00:42:12,130
worst from episode like. 21
Yeah, it's it's that character
815
00:42:12,130 --> 00:42:16,260
was bizarre.
Whereas what this does is that
816
00:42:16,260 --> 00:42:18,220
the fallout has happened
already.
817
00:42:18,540 --> 00:42:20,420
They've already been estranged
for years.
818
00:42:20,420 --> 00:42:23,340
So now it's about them
reconnecting, even though
819
00:42:23,340 --> 00:42:25,180
they're kind of in different
places in their lives.
820
00:42:25,740 --> 00:42:28,940
Where Sylvia has, she doesn't
work anymore.
821
00:42:28,940 --> 00:42:30,940
She's been a stay at home mom.
You know, she used to be a
822
00:42:30,940 --> 00:42:35,140
lawyer.
And Will is this brewmaster and
823
00:42:35,140 --> 00:42:38,300
he's like young and funky and
he's a hipster.
824
00:42:38,500 --> 00:42:41,060
Yeah, he has some of the I want
to like.
825
00:42:41,570 --> 00:42:43,730
I wanted to dress like will.
Oh, so good.
826
00:42:43,730 --> 00:42:46,690
The style is fantastic, the
style is fantastic, the use of
827
00:42:46,690 --> 00:42:49,570
necklaces, the hats.
That's just how Seth Rogen
828
00:42:49,570 --> 00:42:51,770
dresses, though.
Like, that's Seth Rogen.
829
00:42:51,770 --> 00:42:54,690
He just came to Seth.
He just what Seth Rogen, real
830
00:42:54,690 --> 00:42:56,690
life does all day is he smokes
weed right?
831
00:42:56,890 --> 00:43:00,350
And he does pottery right, and
then he produces shows and
832
00:43:00,350 --> 00:43:02,390
things like that.
I feel like Rose Byrne is the
833
00:43:02,390 --> 00:43:05,590
type of person that like, drinks
Rosie whenever she wants Rosie
834
00:43:05,590 --> 00:43:06,750
Byrne.
Rosie Byrne.
835
00:43:07,270 --> 00:43:09,670
That's the the brand.
She should really have that.
836
00:43:09,750 --> 00:43:16,350
Has her face on it, but is.
But hosts probably the best
837
00:43:16,910 --> 00:43:22,390
lunches, dinners, whatever.
Like she Her comedic timing is
838
00:43:22,510 --> 00:43:24,950
one of the best.
And physical comedy.
839
00:43:25,230 --> 00:43:27,670
She's so good.
It's like watching bridesmaids.
840
00:43:28,230 --> 00:43:31,230
But it's all her exactly.
So good.
841
00:43:31,230 --> 00:43:33,910
And I think going into this, you
think like Seth Rogen's going to
842
00:43:33,910 --> 00:43:36,230
steal the scene.
He's going to be hilarious,
843
00:43:36,470 --> 00:43:38,590
actually.
He kind of plays the straight
844
00:43:38,590 --> 00:43:42,230
man and she is the comedy.
It's so good.
845
00:43:42,310 --> 00:43:44,950
She oh, my gosh.
She there's a scene where
846
00:43:44,950 --> 00:43:48,310
they're they go to Johnny Rocket
right?
847
00:43:48,310 --> 00:43:50,390
Is that the Johnny Rockets is
the real thing.
848
00:43:50,430 --> 00:43:55,500
This is like some.
Whatever is the made-up chain
849
00:43:55,500 --> 00:43:57,260
restaurant.
So they go to that and they get
850
00:43:57,260 --> 00:44:01,260
a bunch of the memorabilia and
like the hats and the like the
851
00:44:01,300 --> 00:44:03,740
jackets and stuff like that, and
they're just riding down the
852
00:44:03,740 --> 00:44:06,540
street in the scooters and just
seeing Rose Byrne in this
853
00:44:06,580 --> 00:44:10,820
oversized hat be a complete
badass but also look ridiculous.
854
00:44:10,860 --> 00:44:13,220
It's it's one of those shows.
Just watch it.
855
00:44:13,340 --> 00:44:16,660
It's very short.
I hope they get a second season.
856
00:44:16,660 --> 00:44:18,260
I would really love a second
season.
857
00:44:18,980 --> 00:44:22,340
It's a lot of fun and it's it
does get poignant at times when
858
00:44:22,340 --> 00:44:27,020
it needs to, but it's one of
those awkward, you know what are
859
00:44:27,020 --> 00:44:29,220
relationships and friendships at
some point.
860
00:44:29,220 --> 00:44:33,260
The last episode is very
emotional, but like in a I
861
00:44:33,260 --> 00:44:36,020
relate to that type of
situation.
862
00:44:36,020 --> 00:44:39,020
And also very funny, very funny.
I also wanted to speak very
863
00:44:39,020 --> 00:44:41,300
funny.
The supporting cast in this is
864
00:44:41,700 --> 00:44:44,540
also fantastic, very good.
We have Luke MacFarlane who
865
00:44:44,540 --> 00:44:49,450
plays Charlie Sylvia's husband
in this and he's dealing with
866
00:44:49,450 --> 00:44:55,650
what does their relationship
mean, The most awkward 1 dry
867
00:44:55,650 --> 00:44:58,850
humping.
One of the funniest scenes I've
868
00:44:58,850 --> 00:45:03,490
seen in like a comedy like this,
and like, he gets drunk and his
869
00:45:03,490 --> 00:45:05,170
coworkers there, they're both
very drunk.
870
00:45:05,170 --> 00:45:07,130
They're doing whatever.
And like, this is at the point
871
00:45:07,130 --> 00:45:09,450
where, like, he's kind of
jealous of Will being back in
872
00:45:09,450 --> 00:45:14,010
Sylvia's life and so like.
His idea is to, like, get drunk
873
00:45:14,010 --> 00:45:17,130
late at work with his coworkers,
but when the other coworker
874
00:45:17,130 --> 00:45:21,130
leaves and it's just the I can't
remember her name but she's
875
00:45:21,130 --> 00:45:24,490
there with him, they're like
dancing together and then they
876
00:45:24,490 --> 00:45:27,250
like dry hump.
It's so weird.
877
00:45:27,370 --> 00:45:31,010
And it's the most awkward thing.
But he has so much guilt.
878
00:45:31,010 --> 00:45:34,890
And so when he finally tells
Sylvia about it and she's like,
879
00:45:35,410 --> 00:45:38,650
what?
You dry hump, it's like what
880
00:45:39,010 --> 00:45:41,300
she's.
Doesn't even understand this.
881
00:45:41,300 --> 00:45:43,860
I wish I could remember this
song that they were dancing to.
882
00:45:43,940 --> 00:45:46,580
It was like, it was so awkward.
That whole scene was just
883
00:45:46,580 --> 00:45:49,900
hilarious.
I also Carla Gallo, who plays
884
00:45:49,900 --> 00:45:53,500
her friend Katie.
I mean, this is another breakout
885
00:45:53,500 --> 00:45:59,260
star is so funny because she's
incredibly raunchy.
886
00:45:59,380 --> 00:46:03,340
Her delivery is perfect.
Another just fantastic scene
887
00:46:03,340 --> 00:46:06,220
partner for Rose Byrne.
Yeah, I feel like this is a good
888
00:46:06,220 --> 00:46:09,300
comedy to watch when you know
you this weekend.
889
00:46:09,850 --> 00:46:11,050
Yes, watch it.
Binge it.
890
00:46:11,170 --> 00:46:13,890
Binge it and it's very quick.
It's so funny.
891
00:46:14,770 --> 00:46:16,730
Do it.
Highly recommend make it get a
892
00:46:16,730 --> 00:46:19,370
second season please because
they left it open where there
893
00:46:19,370 --> 00:46:21,930
could be a second.
We have to wait.
894
00:46:22,450 --> 00:46:24,090
All right?
We have another apple one we.
895
00:46:24,090 --> 00:46:28,290
Have three more.
Three more we could do this.
896
00:46:28,290 --> 00:46:30,850
I feel like our personal picks
might be a little quick, quick,
897
00:46:30,850 --> 00:46:32,130
quick, quick.
Make it snappy.
898
00:46:32,410 --> 00:46:34,370
Make it snappy.
So this one we kind of added
899
00:46:34,370 --> 00:46:38,450
because when we forgot it came
out this year, it came out of
900
00:46:38,450 --> 00:46:40,420
March.
And he came out of March great
901
00:46:40,420 --> 00:46:45,420
this year.
Earlier this year, Yeah, I'm
902
00:46:45,420 --> 00:46:47,780
just saying why we forgot about
it is cuz it was from so long.
903
00:46:47,780 --> 00:46:50,060
Ago, yeah, but we get included
stuff from February.
904
00:46:50,780 --> 00:46:54,580
But we watched that recently.
We watched this in real time.
905
00:46:54,820 --> 00:47:02,220
So the last season of Ted Lasso,
I mean what can we say about Ted
906
00:47:02,220 --> 00:47:05,740
Lasso that hasn't already been
said that I don't, I think
907
00:47:05,740 --> 00:47:07,950
we've.
We briefly talked about Ted
908
00:47:07,950 --> 00:47:10,990
Lasso on the podcast before, a
long time ago.
909
00:47:10,990 --> 00:47:12,910
A long time ago.
Yeah, I think.
910
00:47:12,910 --> 00:47:14,790
Was it a Patreon episode?
Yep, yeah.
911
00:47:14,870 --> 00:47:17,150
Yep.
Great.
912
00:47:17,350 --> 00:47:22,270
I mean, this series I feel like
is one of those that I'm glad it
913
00:47:22,270 --> 00:47:27,230
ended when it did, but I wish
there was more because the cast
914
00:47:27,270 --> 00:47:29,830
and characters, you just love
them so much.
915
00:47:30,410 --> 00:47:33,690
There has been talks about
potential like spinoff series,
916
00:47:33,690 --> 00:47:36,410
like it's not going to be about
Ted Lasso because of where it
917
00:47:36,410 --> 00:47:39,650
left off.
I would love for there to be
918
00:47:39,650 --> 00:47:42,610
spinoff series for everybody
else that's still in England.
919
00:47:43,130 --> 00:47:46,970
Yeah, what Ted Lasso, the the
show did so well was that the
920
00:47:46,970 --> 00:47:49,170
first season really did feel
about that.
921
00:47:49,170 --> 00:47:51,130
It was about Ted and his
journey.
922
00:47:51,330 --> 00:47:54,810
But as it has gone on, the
worlds of the supporting
923
00:47:54,810 --> 00:47:56,570
characters got bigger and
bigger.
924
00:47:56,730 --> 00:47:59,970
And for us, you know, a lot of
the time I was actually looking
925
00:47:59,970 --> 00:48:03,490
forward to seeing what was going
to happen with Ryan Keeley or
926
00:48:03,770 --> 00:48:08,010
you know what Sam's Restaurant.
You know, these these characters
927
00:48:08,250 --> 00:48:12,650
were having lives of their own
and so you became very invested
928
00:48:12,650 --> 00:48:14,930
in them.
So I do think that if Ted isn't
929
00:48:14,930 --> 00:48:20,490
there while he was the heart of
the show, if if he wasn't there,
930
00:48:20,690 --> 00:48:24,410
we still have the emotional
connection to these characters
931
00:48:24,410 --> 00:48:26,370
because we've seen what they've
been through over the over the
932
00:48:26,370 --> 00:48:27,570
years.
One of.
933
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:33,120
My stand out episodes from this
season.
934
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:37,320
The finale season was the
Sunflower episode with Rebecca
935
00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:40,120
and the guy in the boat,
Amsterdam.
936
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:45,920
It was beautiful.
Like, I like holy shit, Like
937
00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:49,120
it's one of those episodes you
didn't expect to happen and it
938
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:55,120
happens and it ends and you're
like, oh that was so well
939
00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:57,560
written.
The acting was amazing and it's
940
00:48:57,560 --> 00:49:00,640
just one of those.
Episodes where you just keep
941
00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:04,440
thinking about it because so
much happens in it, but like,
942
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:07,400
it's so quiet and it like sneaks
up on you.
943
00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:10,720
And that's I think what the show
did so well.
944
00:49:10,720 --> 00:49:14,440
It's funny and it's amazing and
these characters are great, but
945
00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:19,440
it deals with such important and
hard issues that everybody goes
946
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:22,040
through.
And I I like the message.
947
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:23,760
It's like you have to take care
of yourself.
948
00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:25,920
You have to take care of others
and just be kind.
949
00:49:27,420 --> 00:49:31,140
But just I can't.
Like I I wish it didn't end, but
950
00:49:31,140 --> 00:49:34,660
I'm glad it did, because how
much more can it still have that
951
00:49:34,660 --> 00:49:36,260
magic?
And one of the interesting
952
00:49:36,260 --> 00:49:40,980
things that it did was it didn't
have to end with everyone
953
00:49:40,980 --> 00:49:44,260
pairing up and everyone finding
the love of their life, because
954
00:49:44,260 --> 00:49:46,620
it wasn't necessarily about
that, right?
955
00:49:46,820 --> 00:49:50,940
It was What does it mean to be a
human trying to exist in the
956
00:49:50,940 --> 00:49:52,980
world at the most authentic
self?
957
00:49:53,300 --> 00:49:55,300
Right.
And it takes everybody on their
958
00:49:55,300 --> 00:49:57,940
own journey, you know?
And one of the, I mean, looking
959
00:49:57,940 --> 00:50:01,780
at Jamie.
Jamie Tart from where he started
960
00:50:01,780 --> 00:50:03,380
to where he ended up.
Even Ned.
961
00:50:03,580 --> 00:50:06,380
He can Oh my well, please.
That was a whole thing.
962
00:50:07,230 --> 00:50:10,070
A little turd, the biggest
traitor there ever was in Ted
963
00:50:10,070 --> 00:50:12,430
Lasso history.
I mean, but the makeups are
964
00:50:12,430 --> 00:50:14,990
worth it.
Yeah, it's so sweet, Jamie.
965
00:50:14,990 --> 00:50:18,950
Fantastic character arc.
I actually really loved the the,
966
00:50:19,070 --> 00:50:21,870
the friendship that grew between
Roy and Jamie.
967
00:50:21,910 --> 00:50:24,830
It's just really sweet.
I'll never forget the image of
968
00:50:25,150 --> 00:50:26,550
him teaching him how to ride a
bike.
969
00:50:27,110 --> 00:50:30,270
It's just fantastic.
And that show can do that type
970
00:50:30,270 --> 00:50:32,550
of thing.
It can do that ridiculous thing.
971
00:50:32,550 --> 00:50:33,750
Or like you tell somebody about
it.
972
00:50:33,750 --> 00:50:35,150
It's like, oh, that kind of
sounds boring.
973
00:50:35,350 --> 00:50:36,350
It's not.
No.
974
00:50:36,350 --> 00:50:39,110
And it's amazing you care so
deeply about these characters
975
00:50:39,110 --> 00:50:40,790
and that's the mark of a good
show.
976
00:50:41,470 --> 00:50:43,190
Yeah.
So bye Ted.
977
00:50:43,430 --> 00:50:46,470
Bye Ted.
Hope to see some of you all soon
978
00:50:47,550 --> 00:50:49,150
at some point.
Yeah, write or strike, they
979
00:50:49,150 --> 00:50:50,350
ain't doing nothing.
That's true.
980
00:50:51,430 --> 00:50:53,030
No way.
Fingers crossed.
981
00:50:53,190 --> 00:50:56,350
All right, final two pics.
Told you we were going.
982
00:50:56,350 --> 00:50:58,590
We were going through these kind
of quick, but these are just
983
00:50:58,590 --> 00:51:00,710
things we missed and we have to
talk about.
984
00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:02,640
Because we can say we talked
about it.
985
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:06,040
Yeah, we did it.
We watch other things other than
986
00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:08,920
Marvel and, you know, Apple
movies.
987
00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:16,600
Ghosted, ghosted like that.
Okay, so you do your personal
988
00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:19,160
pick first, he said.
You go first, Okay.
989
00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:21,680
So my personal.
I just want to sip of my Coffee
990
00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:27,070
is another Apple Plus TV.
Whatever it is, this is
991
00:51:27,070 --> 00:51:29,110
shrinking.
So actually this is a good
992
00:51:29,110 --> 00:51:32,430
connection because Brett
Goldstein, who plays Roy, is one
993
00:51:32,430 --> 00:51:34,590
of the creators and writers of
shrinking.
994
00:51:34,590 --> 00:51:36,790
So good, that's how talented
this person is.
995
00:51:36,910 --> 00:51:39,390
I can't.
He's also Hercules in the
996
00:51:39,390 --> 00:51:41,000
Marvel.
Movies.
997
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:43,120
So where is that character?
Right now, I don't know.
998
00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:44,520
Don't bring it up.
No one knows.
999
00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:47,120
No one knows.
So this is starring Jason Segel.
1000
00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:51,000
He plays Jimmy.
He is a therapist who, when we
1001
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:54,920
first see him is completely His
life is in ruins.
1002
00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:59,240
His wife died not too long ago.
He has a young teenage daughter,
1003
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:02,680
and what he has done to deal
with this death is basically
1004
00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:04,880
binge drink and do drugs every
night.
1005
00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:08,840
So what this is, this is his
journey of healing and how he
1006
00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:12,720
works with his patients and how
the people around him kind of
1007
00:52:12,720 --> 00:52:15,720
deal with his life and how they
deal with their own stuff.
1008
00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:21,760
But it's a stellar cast.
So I think Jason Segel got
1009
00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:24,800
nominated for an Emmy.
Jessica Williams, who plays one
1010
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:26,640
of his coworkers, Gabby, got
nominated.
1011
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:28,950
I mean, it's so good.
Hello.
1012
00:52:28,950 --> 00:52:31,110
I mean also you.
Harrison Ford is in this.
1013
00:52:31,630 --> 00:52:33,430
I was like, why aren't you
mentioning Harrison?
1014
00:52:33,430 --> 00:52:36,750
Harrison Ford is in this people
and he is so funny.
1015
00:52:37,270 --> 00:52:41,710
Everybody is so talented.
The the actors that plays.
1016
00:52:41,830 --> 00:52:43,790
His daughter Alice is incredibly
talented.
1017
00:52:43,830 --> 00:52:48,310
It's just a really great cast.
It mixes funny it with
1018
00:52:48,870 --> 00:52:50,950
emotional.
I feel like that's kind of the
1019
00:52:50,950 --> 00:52:53,530
shtick.
That we like on our lists.
1020
00:52:53,610 --> 00:52:56,050
It's like it has to be funny,
but also has to have heart.
1021
00:52:56,050 --> 00:52:57,690
We need depth.
We need depth.
1022
00:52:58,370 --> 00:53:02,730
It ends in a cliffhanger that
just has you just going what
1023
00:53:02,850 --> 00:53:06,370
just happened and it's going to
cause so much trouble for Jimmy
1024
00:53:06,370 --> 00:53:08,610
going forward.
I haven't watched it,
1025
00:53:08,610 --> 00:53:11,050
surprisingly.
I think I was watching
1026
00:53:11,050 --> 00:53:14,010
something, doing something at
the time and Derek is like, I'm
1027
00:53:14,010 --> 00:53:16,320
just going to watch this.
And I remember when you watched
1028
00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:19,400
the last episode, I think I was
in this room and you were in the
1029
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:21,440
living room and you were just
freaking out.
1030
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:23,920
And I was like, what?
Cuz I thought you were watching
1031
00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:25,520
and just like that.
And I'm like, there's no way
1032
00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:27,880
he's freaking out.
That is not on my list, yeah.
1033
00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:33,160
The people were mad.
Okay, don't get me started.
1034
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:37,100
But so I'm excited to watch it.
I do wanna watch it, but it's so
1035
00:53:37,100 --> 00:53:41,500
much about grief and healing.
But they do it so well and add
1036
00:53:41,500 --> 00:53:43,460
so much coming.
I mean, Michael Urie is in this
1037
00:53:43,460 --> 00:53:45,260
as well.
He's perfect.
1038
00:53:46,100 --> 00:53:48,540
Everyone.
Kristen Miller plays their next
1039
00:53:48,540 --> 00:53:51,260
door neighbor, Liz, who Kristen
Miller has this way.
1040
00:53:51,260 --> 00:53:53,820
I mean, she was in The Drew
Carey Show, she was in Cougar
1041
00:53:53,820 --> 00:53:55,580
Town.
She has this way of playing a
1042
00:53:55,580 --> 00:53:58,900
character that's so bitchy, but
you love them.
1043
00:53:59,380 --> 00:54:02,510
And there's also a character
named Derek in it, so everyone
1044
00:54:02,510 --> 00:54:04,670
has to watch drinking.
Are they a good character?
1045
00:54:04,990 --> 00:54:08,390
They you think you're going to
hate them in the beginning, but
1046
00:54:08,390 --> 00:54:09,710
he actually turns out to be
really great.
1047
00:54:09,870 --> 00:54:12,430
Surprising, I know.
Derek's are never really well.
1048
00:54:12,430 --> 00:54:15,870
They're usually, yeah, Derek and
what we do in the shadows was
1049
00:54:15,950 --> 00:54:17,870
pretty funny.
He wasn't that bad.
1050
00:54:18,030 --> 00:54:20,230
Yeah, but he was bad at what he
was doing, that's true.
1051
00:54:20,230 --> 00:54:23,150
He wasn't a very good vampire.
Now he's a zombie.
1052
00:54:23,230 --> 00:54:24,870
So true.
All right.
1053
00:54:24,870 --> 00:54:27,550
Benedict Huang also made an
appearance of What we do in the
1054
00:54:27,550 --> 00:54:28,350
shadows.
Yeah, he did.
1055
00:54:29,070 --> 00:54:32,240
OK.
So my personal pick is good.
1056
00:54:32,240 --> 00:54:35,920
Omen Season 2, I had thought
about doing The Witcher.
1057
00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:40,560
I haven't finished it because
when I know somebody like Henry
1058
00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:42,840
Cavill is not going to be done
anymore and it's going to kind
1059
00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:46,200
of end, it's hard for me to
continue watching it, you know?
1060
00:54:46,200 --> 00:54:48,720
It's like it took me so long to
watch Sense 8 finish it.
1061
00:54:48,720 --> 00:54:51,040
When I knew it was ending, I was
like, what's the point?
1062
00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:55,000
I don't get anymore, Noah says.
I cannot take the emotion of
1063
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:57,200
trauma, of saying goodbye to
these people.
1064
00:54:57,240 --> 00:55:00,600
So I'm just stopping, yeah.
But I will eventually watch it.
1065
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:09,400
But good omens.
I mean the amazing book by Neil
1066
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:13,840
Gaiman and Terry Pratchett.
It's one of my favorite books.
1067
00:55:13,840 --> 00:55:16,940
It's a singular story.
For decades people have been
1068
00:55:16,940 --> 00:55:19,260
wanting a sequel.
What is going to happen?
1069
00:55:19,260 --> 00:55:21,860
They're like, no, we probably
can't recreate what we did the
1070
00:55:21,860 --> 00:55:23,700
last time.
But then there was talks and
1071
00:55:23,700 --> 00:55:26,260
then there was talks about a
movie and all the stuff.
1072
00:55:26,260 --> 00:55:28,980
And then unfortunately, Terry
Pratchett did die in 2015.
1073
00:55:29,740 --> 00:55:33,980
But before that, Neil Gaiman and
Terry Pratchett had been talking
1074
00:55:33,980 --> 00:55:36,700
about potentially a sequel, like
what would happen.
1075
00:55:37,220 --> 00:55:40,420
And we got it.
We got it with Season 2 of Good
1076
00:55:40,420 --> 00:55:42,740
Omens.
Now I will say they're very
1077
00:55:42,740 --> 00:55:46,380
different, like you can tell.
It's a little different.
1078
00:55:46,380 --> 00:55:48,860
Neil Gaiman wrote all the
episodes for the first season.
1079
00:55:48,860 --> 00:55:52,940
It's very much the book it has
trying to stop the Antichrist
1080
00:55:52,940 --> 00:55:55,020
from bringing about the end of
the world.
1081
00:55:55,340 --> 00:55:59,300
What happens with that?
This one is a lot smaller, and
1082
00:55:59,300 --> 00:56:02,300
it's more it takes place in the
street with the Zero FL's
1083
00:56:02,300 --> 00:56:06,060
bookshop, Everybody's back, some
of the characters, the actors
1084
00:56:06,060 --> 00:56:08,380
changed out, but it's very much
about.
1085
00:56:08,990 --> 00:56:13,750
Them, Azero Fell and Crowley and
what their relationship is and
1086
00:56:13,750 --> 00:56:18,630
what goes on with that.
But it's just perfect.
1087
00:56:18,750 --> 00:56:23,150
Like, it's one of those shows
where the actors themselves, you
1088
00:56:23,150 --> 00:56:26,710
have these people that are such
good friends in real life and
1089
00:56:26,710 --> 00:56:30,110
then they play characters who
are such good friends in the
1090
00:56:30,110 --> 00:56:33,110
show.
And it shows through that David
1091
00:56:33,110 --> 00:56:36,990
Tennant and Michael Sheen are
some of the greatest people to
1092
00:56:36,990 --> 00:56:39,800
be.
Together on the screen, if you
1093
00:56:39,800 --> 00:56:42,080
watch the show staged, it came
out during the pandemic.
1094
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:46,880
It's just like watching a Zero
Fell and Crowley, but not in
1095
00:56:46,880 --> 00:56:49,360
makeup and red hair and white
hair, but.
1096
00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:55,160
I think that if you're a fan of
the books and you book and you
1097
00:56:55,160 --> 00:56:57,600
haven't watched it, you should
watch it.
1098
00:56:57,960 --> 00:57:01,120
Because this one I would equate
to.
1099
00:57:01,120 --> 00:57:04,720
Let's say our flag means death,
where it's like.
1100
00:57:06,170 --> 00:57:09,050
Are they are they a thing?
Like, do they like each other?
1101
00:57:10,010 --> 00:57:13,170
Took a whole season, and then
the second season and then the
1102
00:57:13,170 --> 00:57:16,370
last episode of this season for
us, finally for them to realize,
1103
00:57:16,490 --> 00:57:18,570
wow, they're really dragging it
out.
1104
00:57:18,570 --> 00:57:20,810
But it's one of those things
where it's like, it parallels
1105
00:57:20,810 --> 00:57:23,370
almost funny enough to our flag
means death.
1106
00:57:23,410 --> 00:57:26,850
It's like these people that have
such a big connection and then
1107
00:57:26,850 --> 00:57:29,450
it's like, oh, the connection
goes further than just
1108
00:57:29,450 --> 00:57:32,010
friendship, you know?
I don't.
1109
00:57:33,190 --> 00:57:35,470
The show is just good.
It's just it's one of those
1110
00:57:35,470 --> 00:57:39,070
things where like it's hard to
describe like how much I like it
1111
00:57:39,550 --> 00:57:43,470
and it's so ridiculous.
It's absolutely batshit crazy.
1112
00:57:44,150 --> 00:57:47,870
But I just love them and I love
the characters and so it's their
1113
00:57:47,870 --> 00:57:50,070
chemistry.
You cannot beat that chemistry.
1114
00:57:50,150 --> 00:57:51,590
And it's David Tennant.
Like what?
1115
00:57:51,590 --> 00:57:54,430
What do you like if you've been
like, I don't know if I want to
1116
00:57:54,430 --> 00:57:55,790
watch it.
Just fricking watch it.
1117
00:57:55,990 --> 00:57:58,710
It's good and gay.
Good and gay.
1118
00:57:59,590 --> 00:58:01,070
That's what we've been saying in
the whole episode.
1119
00:58:01,070 --> 00:58:04,270
Yeah, I will say like, no matter
how much I do like it, I do know
1120
00:58:04,270 --> 00:58:06,470
that there's some like
interesting things that happened
1121
00:58:06,470 --> 00:58:08,070
this season.
It did feel like they added
1122
00:58:08,070 --> 00:58:12,830
things just to like make stuff
happen, which I was like, OK,
1123
00:58:13,070 --> 00:58:16,190
but I it was all fine because
those two were on the screen.
1124
00:58:16,230 --> 00:58:21,430
And we also got two amazing new
characters, Maggie and Nina.
1125
00:58:22,070 --> 00:58:23,750
Fantastic.
There was like kind of like a
1126
00:58:23,750 --> 00:58:24,750
will.
They won't they in that
1127
00:58:24,750 --> 00:58:26,630
situation, but I'd loved in the
end.
1128
00:58:27,230 --> 00:58:28,790
That they were like, stop
messing with our lives.
1129
00:58:28,790 --> 00:58:31,990
And you guys need to realize
that you guys love each other.
1130
00:58:31,990 --> 00:58:34,470
So go talk about that.
It's all about love.
1131
00:58:34,510 --> 00:58:38,190
It's very gay and very like
talking about the like the
1132
00:58:38,190 --> 00:58:41,270
hypocrisy and the ridiculousness
of the Bible.
1133
00:58:41,270 --> 00:58:42,870
And it's just all the things I
love.
1134
00:58:43,070 --> 00:58:45,430
Sure is that's Noah wrapped up
in a bow.
1135
00:58:45,430 --> 00:58:47,910
Yeah, love it.
So good.
1136
00:58:49,110 --> 00:58:52,870
That is our so far what we've
missed in 2023.
1137
00:58:53,630 --> 00:58:56,510
I would love to hear what you
all think about these things.
1138
00:58:57,250 --> 00:59:00,010
Comment below.
We've been posting on the
1139
00:59:00,010 --> 00:59:02,650
YouTube.
You can actually comment below
1140
00:59:02,650 --> 00:59:04,610
now.
Yeah, let us know what your
1141
00:59:04,610 --> 00:59:06,890
standouts were.
Yeah, I think our personal picks
1142
00:59:06,890 --> 00:59:08,530
were kind of like our standouts
for the year.
1143
00:59:08,890 --> 00:59:11,210
And obviously we're not doing a
whole episode on them and we
1144
00:59:11,210 --> 00:59:15,050
can't dive super deep into them.
But you know, you know our
1145
00:59:15,050 --> 00:59:16,010
picks.
I want to know yours.
1146
00:59:17,170 --> 00:59:19,490
I agree.
That means get to it.
1147
00:59:19,570 --> 00:59:20,930
Yeah.
What are you doing?
1148
00:59:22,290 --> 00:59:25,690
So we have quite we have some
stuff brewing.
1149
00:59:26,430 --> 00:59:27,350
Planned.
Yeah.
1150
00:59:27,350 --> 00:59:31,470
There's a lot of things, you
know, the writers strike is it's
1151
00:59:31,470 --> 00:59:34,070
happening and so things are
getting postponed and things
1152
00:59:34,070 --> 00:59:37,270
that we had planned to maybe
cover are not going to be at
1153
00:59:37,270 --> 00:59:39,350
this time anymore.
So we're again, we're shaking it
1154
00:59:39,350 --> 00:59:40,670
up.
We're shaking it up, shaking it
1155
00:59:40,670 --> 00:59:42,310
up.
We have some plans, but a lot of
1156
00:59:42,310 --> 00:59:46,270
the October, November are
stacked.
1157
00:59:46,750 --> 00:59:51,750
If some of the stuff still stays
what it is, yeah, I mean, just
1158
00:59:51,750 --> 00:59:54,360
look out for that stuff.
It's always it's always get
1159
00:59:54,360 --> 00:59:56,000
creepy.
Yeah.
1160
00:59:58,600 --> 01:00:02,120
Ooh, that's right.
We're doing that.
1161
01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:03,080
I don't even know if they saw
that.
1162
01:00:03,080 --> 01:00:07,400
We're doing the collected works
of Edgar Allan Poe, The Raven,
1163
01:00:07,480 --> 01:00:11,720
The Telltale Heart.
No, let's see, let's do, let me
1164
01:00:11,720 --> 01:00:15,280
see which one we're going to do.
Let's do the black cat.
1165
01:00:16,160 --> 01:00:18,640
I don't know about it.
I'm excited to jump in.
1166
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:22,040
No, I mean, if you know what
this book is, it's very obvious
1167
01:00:22,040 --> 01:00:23,800
what we're going to be gearing
up for.
1168
01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:26,200
We're going to go back to our
roots, you know, if you listen
1169
01:00:26,200 --> 01:00:31,280
to our blame manner.
Spooky season is upon us.
1170
01:00:31,320 --> 01:00:34,320
Yeah, or any of the other Mike
Flanagan works.
1171
01:00:34,320 --> 01:00:35,040
You know what?
We're going to.
1172
01:00:35,040 --> 01:00:36,840
Do you know we love the
Flanaverse?
1173
01:00:37,240 --> 01:00:39,200
We can't get enough.
It's the last one.
1174
01:00:40,760 --> 01:00:43,080
Oh, ran.
This is his last.
1175
01:00:43,790 --> 01:00:47,190
Well, the Netflix thing, right?
Yeah, but then he's going on to
1176
01:00:47,190 --> 01:00:50,750
do Stephen King stuff prime.
All right, he's jumping over.
1177
01:00:50,750 --> 01:00:53,470
That's just Noah's brains are
colliding in the best way
1178
01:00:53,510 --> 01:00:54,910
possible.
I love him.
1179
01:00:56,110 --> 01:00:59,830
OK, bye.
