Coming from Myron Podcasts. We're bringing you three 0:00:42.000 --> 0:00:47.720 episodes week every Tuesday and Thursday, and extra episode every Wednesday. 0:00:48.600 --> 0:00:52.720 Today's episodes we're reacting to the first two episodes, wonderful 0:00:53.320 --> 0:00:59.360 episodes of Disney's latest Star Wars show, Skeleton Crewe and 0:00:59.400 --> 0:01:01.800 it's fantastic. We're gonna be jumping out of the airlock 0:01:01.840 --> 0:01:04.720 to talk about Skeleton Crew episodes one and two coming up. Now, 0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:11.360 all right, let's start. Do we open in the year nine? 0:01:11.640 --> 0:01:15.679 Ab y folks. The Empire is fallen, the New Republic 0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:25.160 is solidifying it's governmental infrastructure across the galaxy, and it's 0:01:25.200 --> 0:01:30.120 a little messy, but that's what democracy is. It's a 0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:34.720 little messier because everybody has a voice, but it is 0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:42.680 messy and in particular intergalactic travel. Intergalactic cargo is being 0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:47.440 preyed upon by piracy, which remains a massive problem in 0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:50.920 the New Republic era. We open in space, a pirate 0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:55.400 vessel attacks a cargo ship. The pirates board. There's a 0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:58.920 big firefight, but the pirates win. They get into the 0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:02.040 vault at the best of apparently their captain. Do we 0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:06.440 do we think that this helmeted gentlemen who spoiler alert 0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:10.239 is Jude Law's character and you can kind of tell 0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:15.040 through the through the yeah, yeah, but he appears to 0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:18.320 be the captain of this of this particular pirate crew, right, 0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:20.480 and he clearly has sold them a bill of goods, 0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:23.000 which is we're going to attack this ship. This ship 0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:27.160 has it purports to be just carrying fruits and vegetables 0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:29.600 and what have you. But there's a magnetic vault on it, 0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:33.720 which can only mean massive, massive wealth within this ship. 0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:39.359 But they cut open the vault and there's one measly 0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:42.680 credit inside. And so now the pirates, including a wolfman 0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:47.800 named Brutus, is first of all awesome, I have we 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:51.280 have not seen a live action wolfman since Star Wars, 0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:56.240 and only briefly in the CANTEENA correct me some someone 0:02:56.280 --> 0:03:00.440 if I'm wrong. Although he's The Wolfmen have made appearances 0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:05.800 in other formats, including the comics, but awesome, awesome to 0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:09.720 see one and they're all pissed at Jude Law and 0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:14.400 they start just beating the brakes off this guy. We 0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:16.919 go elsewhere to a planet that we don't know the 0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:20.560 name of yet we will eventually, and we meet Whim, 0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:25.280 a young human who is getting ready for school. His father, Wendel, 0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:31.799 is a single dad, played shockingly for fans of mid 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:37.160 aught indie rock by t Brooklyn's TV on the radio 0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:43.400 Frontman tun Day at a Bimbay Anyone like Me, any 0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:44.880 other TV on the radio. 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:49.640 Heads out there did not expect a Pitchfork favorite to 0:03:49.640 --> 0:03:50.800 be in the new Star Wars show. 0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:53.400 He's been in other stuff. He was in, Oh, what's 0:03:53.440 --> 0:04:00.520 the Anne Hathaway wedding film? That's very good, Rachel get married. 0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:01.120 He's in that. 0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:04.360 He's been in other stuff, but like it. I was 0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:08.320 like I had to pause and like gather myself. I'm like, 0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:10.760 oh my god. 0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:11.080 The dead. 0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:15.160 Anyway, dad is very very busy, and he leaves his 0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:21.720 son with like a pile of credits and leaves, which 0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:26.320 leads me to ask the group, shouldn't the Republic and 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:29.080 shouldn't the Empire before them have figured out a more 0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:34.000 efficient currency format, because it just feels like a big 0:04:35.120 --> 0:04:39.599 like pile of dou balloons is not necessarily It was great, 0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:43.039 by the way, for this particular story, absolutely, but I 0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:45.240 don't know if it's I don't know if it's the 0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:48.400 medium for intergalactic trade that you're looking for. 0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:51.560 Yeah, they don't have like a kid's credit card version 0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:53.880 of the visa bucks or whatever. 0:04:57.400 --> 0:05:01.480 They're trading everything else on like little floppy disc esque technology. 0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:04.479 I feel you could absolutely have digital currency at this point. 0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:06.000 Get it together, Star Wars. 0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:09.040 Come on, Yeah, I get it together. Wim lives in 0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:16.479 a really well laid out and picturesque suburban settlement on 0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:21.120 whatever planet this is. He's on his way to school. 0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:24.000 He runs into his friend Neil, who is an Ordolan, 0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:29.120 one of the elephant species of Star Wars. I believe 0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:32.320 the keyboard player in the Max. I believe Max Rebo 0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:34.719 is an Orderland. Is that not the is that? 0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:38.119 So there's there's believe that this is not an Orland. 0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:42.120 Max Fewill is one This that's a little more expressive, 0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:45.640 a little different, and the I believe the creator and 0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:48.520 the showrunner have both confirmed that this is a different species. 0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:50.840 But I don't think we know what this species is yet. 0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:54.279 Okay, I see and thank god he's more expressive because 0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:58.159 Neil's eyes are my MVP of episode one for sure. 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:04.120 Neil Is is absolutely the runaway MVP of the series 0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:10.520 thus far. Neil and Whim are obsessed with Jedis. They 0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:14.520 get on the bus and out the window, Whim sees 0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:18.400 two girls whip by on a speeder which another fun 0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:23.200 fact about this particular planet is their currency is big 0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:28.080 gold coins, and kids can drive vehicles at excessive rates 0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:31.560 of speed on highways that look like it could just 0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:34.760 be like Houston, Texas. Like the on ramps and off 0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:38.920 ramps feel very like basic metropolitan highway here. 0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:46.839 Listen, school is boring, we get it. Classes boring, the 0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:51.200 teachers are very boring droids but no personalities. Wim gets 0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:56.200 caught dueling instead of paying attention by the guest speaker 0:06:57.279 --> 0:07:00.000 of the class this particular day, and that is Under 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:03.880 Secretary Pharah of the New Republic. She comes to address 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:07.920 the class about the Career Assessment Test, which is tomorrow. 0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:11.320 Career Assessment Test just like it sounds. It's like it 0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:13.480 sounds like kind of like O levels. I guess, like 0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:15.960 in England, it's like, this is the test you take 0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:21.760 that will basically set you up for your career and 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:23.120 lock you in for life. 0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:25.280 Did you guys have to do career aptitude tests? 0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:26.760 No? 0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:29.080 No, I never did, did you know? 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:30.480 Oh yeah absolutely? 0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:33.320 Right after Squared Dancing, they were like, okay, here's the 0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:36.440 career aptitude test and it'll tell you what jobs you 0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:38.560 should look at in the future. But it's a very 0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:41.280 dumb test. It's sort of like taking a Yahoo test 0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:42.960 where you're like, I kind of know what the answers 0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:45.320 are gonna Do you like writing? 0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:50.520 Do you journal a lot? I was gonna be a writer? 0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:53.480 Is like, which of these answers makes me a Jedi? Yeah, 0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:55.520 I'll answer yes to all that I wish. 0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:59.440 Right, Sofa asks, you know, it goes around the classes 0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:00.600 like what do you want to do? What are you 0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:03.040 interested in? And she calls on whim who's like trying 0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:07.920 to hide from answering, and he basically says like I, 0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:09.680 in not so many words, I would like to be 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:11.760 a Jedi. I want to help people when they're in danger. 0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:15.840 I want to It's been interesting. This is the first 0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:23.120 Star Wars that I can recall in which Jedis are 0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:28.000 like famous, famous, because it seems to me previously, it 0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:31.520 seems to me previously that it's like Jedi, who what? 0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:32.080 What are they? 0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:33.719 Right? 0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:36.480 They did they even exist? What's going on with them? 0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:40.079 This is super interesting to me, and I hope they 0:08:40.160 --> 0:08:42.920 explain it in detail, right. 0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:47.080 Yeah, I hypothesizing if we're nine years after the Battle 0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:49.400 of Jevan and we understand that Luke eventually goes on 0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:53.800 to build a Jedi school. Okay, at first I was prickly, 0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:55.560 and then I was like, Okay, well it's a little different. 0:08:55.640 --> 0:08:56.880 We haven't really been here before. 0:08:57.120 --> 0:09:00.320 But we'll pick this conversation up when we're recapping the 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:03.080 second episode, because then there's a wrench, right that makes 0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:08.480 me question all of that then. 0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:10.160 Because I yeah, because there's that, I can't wait to 0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:12.320 get to that wrench, because I think the wrench might 0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:15.760 have something to do with explaining why Jedis are so 0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:18.880 much more well known on this particular planet. Anyway, Wim 0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:23.040 is stressed about the assessment because he completely forgot about it. 0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:27.760 We learned that Neil has a crush on a particular 0:09:28.600 --> 0:09:33.000 student named Runa Neil Roswim for saying he wants to 0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:36.040 be a Jedi. And elsewhere we meet the girls Fern 0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:39.000 and KB. They're on their speeder. They are driving again 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:44.400 at excessive speed and extremely irresponsibly. They are how they 0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:46.440 are allowed to drive like this, I don't know, but 0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:49.080 their speeder breaks down and they end up having to 0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:53.720 walk it home. Elsewhere, Wim watches Neil get welcomed home 0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:58.080 by his large and loving and very active family, and 0:09:58.120 --> 0:10:00.400 then Wim goes home to an empty house and he's 0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:03.800 very sad. It's wonderful and they all seem to get along. 0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:07.960 Yes, everyone's excited. Neil's home, a parent is home. 0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:12.280 And they're all watching TV together and playing together. And 0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:15.400 then Wim goes home to like his iPad and his 0:10:15.520 --> 0:10:21.920 darkened house. This is like a very gen X coded story, 0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:25.440 not just in the fact that, like we're obviously calling 0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:32.520 on Spielbergian tones et the Goonies, these kinds of kids 0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:35.760 on their bikes alone nobody watching them kind of feel. 0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:39.559 But this latchkey kid thing too feels very specifically gen X. 0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:40.640 I think it's pretty smart. 0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:45.640 Also, the single parent household element, yes, very gen X 0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:49.319 of like my family is not a whole sort of situation. 0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:54.080 Uh yeah, I really feel I feel like we get 0:10:54.080 --> 0:10:57.880 a lot of insight into this little dude. I wim 0:10:58.000 --> 0:11:00.360 is maybe the most charming name for a care character 0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:03.160 like this ever. And the minute they were like yeah, 0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:05.040 he's whom I was like, Oh no, I love the 0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:08.360 sleep Baby. Please protect him at all. Cough, I'm worried 0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:10.280 about him. He's courting danger too much. 0:11:11.040 --> 0:11:16.160 At home. KB, who is the one of the girls 0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:19.280 of the pair who wears the kind of like Jordi 0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:23.480 from Star Trek the next Generation type visor, is trying 0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:27.080 to fix the speeder. More on this later, because it 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:28.920 feels like KB is the one who knows how to 0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:32.640 do everything, but somehow Fern is always in the lead. Okay, 0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:36.199 but she can't fix it. They need a power converter, 0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:40.440 and apparently they really need it because Fern has a 0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:43.520 upcoming race against like the cool kid Bullies who are 0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:46.240 just like they come by and they're just like, we're 0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:47.600 gonna beat your ass at this race. 0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:48.360 You better be there. 0:11:48.520 --> 0:11:50.959 The cool kid Bullies, who is like one older kid 0:11:51.000 --> 0:11:53.560 and then two little kids in the sidecar too. It's 0:11:53.920 --> 0:11:57.600 the least intimidating look of a bullet, ever, but still 0:11:57.679 --> 0:11:58.240 very charming. 0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:01.160 It seems like the girls are new to the planet. Also, 0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:07.720 Fern goes home late. He convinces she convinces her droid 0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:09.880 to lie to her mom that she was actually home 0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:11.400 all the time and she was just doing homework and 0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:13.679 we learned that her mom is under Secretary of Farah. 0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:17.040 And of course Mom is very much like, Hey, assessment test, 0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:21.000 you got to kill it. Dad returns home to find 0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:24.720 Whim cramming for the test. Wim is like, will you 0:12:24.760 --> 0:12:26.880 read me a bedtime story like mom used to do? 0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:30.760 And Dad is like no, and also, aren't you too 0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:31.160 old for. 0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:34.600 This toxic masculinity? E late this kid, this wasn't spend 0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:36.880 time with you, dad, Jesus. 0:12:37.559 --> 0:12:39.920 I agree with the note that when you just like 0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:42.000 learn to read and read on your own, but also 0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:44.600 hang out with your son you've been not been home 0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:48.600 all day, do something else you don't you know, do 0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:50.640 another thing, but like hang over with your kid. 0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:51.880 What is happening here? 0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:56.320 Anyway? Wim gets on his iPad and reads his Jedi book. 0:12:56.520 --> 0:13:00.240 The next day, Whim misses the bus very bad because 0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:03.040 it's test day. He grabs a speeder from the garage 0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:06.079 and takes the short cut that he saw Fern and 0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:12.400 KB take the previous morning. Neil, a great friend, tries 0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:15.520 to delay the test to no avail. Of course, the 0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:18.880 short cut through the woods is like extremely treacherous, and 0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:21.800 Wim crashes into a gully, tries to climb out of 0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:24.760 the gully, and as he is climbing, he discovers like 0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:28.880 a strange hatch buried in the mud. A school attends 0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:31.760 at Droid finds him because he's within sight of the school. 0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:35.240 He's probably I don't know, judging by like CGI distances, 0:13:35.280 --> 0:13:36.839 I'm guessing he's like a mile and a half from 0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:39.480 the school, but like close enough that a Droid could 0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:41.520 pick up his chain code, I guess, and be like, 0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:46.800 where is this kid? The Droid takes him to school. 0:13:48.080 --> 0:13:50.960 He has to sit in the hallway to talk to 0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:54.120 what is their version of the principal, the procter. He's 0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:57.440 looking through his Jedi book, looking because he feels like 0:13:57.480 --> 0:13:59.800 this must be a Jedi temble. He's looking for symbology 0:13:59.840 --> 0:14:02.480 that could tie what he knows about Jedi to this 0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:04.760 thing that he found. And then Fern comes and sits 0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:06.760 down next to him, and she's in trouble for something. 0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:12.040 Whim missed the test. Fern isn't for racing bikes. Whim 0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:14.280 is like I saw you racing. Fern is like, you know, 0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:16.480 the last kid who missed the test was taken to 0:14:16.480 --> 0:14:18.800 work in the mines and he died down there. And 0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:21.520 we learned from this that Fern is a loves to 0:14:21.560 --> 0:14:24.920 tell these tall tales, big tall tale. Tell her dad 0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:28.600 arrives and he's pissed. He's like, first of all, I 0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:31.800 had to leave work, which is crazy. Second of all, 0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:36.240 you missed the test, and now you're fucked because you 0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:38.200 have to get a perfect score on the test to 0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:39.800 even pass. Do you even just. 0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:43.040 Get like how crazy this is what you're be like, 0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:44.640 you could the best you could hope for is an 0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:49.280 F what like or maybe like a D minus fifty. 0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:51.160 I don't know if you're like grading on a scale 0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:53.120 or what it is, but if if they were using 0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:56.800 American test standards, that would still be considered a failing grade. 0:14:56.920 --> 0:14:58.920 And I was like, why, why said the kid up 0:14:58.960 --> 0:15:00.280 to he can't have a fair shot? 0:15:00.320 --> 0:15:01.560 That's crazy. I don't like it. 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:06.080 I know this is like extremely I disagree with all 0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:09.520 of this, and not to mention some of the most 0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:13.000 famous people that and successful people that we've seen in 0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:17.280 this universe did not go to school. Unclear, like Luke 0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:19.600 can he read? I don't actually know. 0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:24.120 It's giving empire like this first of all, yeah, and 0:15:24.200 --> 0:15:26.040 I don't know if Luke has ever picked up a 0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:27.600 book and well wait, see he gets the. 0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:28.960 Jedi text later when does. 0:15:28.880 --> 0:15:31.560 He learn once he gets there? 0:15:31.680 --> 0:15:34.200 Yeah, eventually he gets there, but that it might have 0:15:34.240 --> 0:15:38.560 come after saving the galaxy, which is fair. But I 0:15:38.560 --> 0:15:43.440 think like this school system is giving empire and like 0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:46.600 you need to be coded and classified into all of 0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:48.880 the kids that the jobs they shouted out were boring 0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:51.200 as hell to They were like I. 0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:56.720 Want to be an analysts, Like, okay, what's going on? 0:15:56.800 --> 0:15:58.080 Kids? So I having to imagination. 0:15:59.760 --> 0:16:03.280 In a big conversation about the test, Wim is trying 0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:05.320 to tell his dad about this Jedi temple he found, 0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:07.880 and Fern is very curious about this. It's like, wait 0:16:07.920 --> 0:16:11.120 a second, say more about that. And Wim realizing now 0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:14.480 that he may have given up too much information to 0:16:14.560 --> 0:16:18.680 a stranger regarding something that he wants to explore on 0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:22.960 his own with Neil and not with some person that 0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:25.560 he encountered in the hallways like that that wasn't true. 0:16:25.600 --> 0:16:26.120 That was a lie. 0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:28.960 Wim goes to see Neil later, climbs up on the skylight, 0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:33.920 sees Neil bathing, which is crazy, huge bath to that family, 0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:38.720 get a huge math, but also like this is a 0:16:38.760 --> 0:16:42.320 private woman for you. Wim, come down. 0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:42.640 My guy. 0:16:43.880 --> 0:16:45.880 Did you guys have skylights when you're growing up? 0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:47.080 Yes? 0:16:47.360 --> 0:16:49.400 Did anyone ever climb up your roof? 0:16:49.440 --> 0:16:56.240 And so Wim gets Neil to help him, of course, 0:16:56.240 --> 0:16:58.480 investigate the temple. When they arrived there, I guess what. 0:16:58.520 --> 0:17:02.040 Fern and KB are already there and they're like, we're involved 0:17:02.040 --> 0:17:04.280 in this, whether you like it or not. They have 0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:07.040 like a bit of a tussle about whose actual claim 0:17:07.560 --> 0:17:10.119 in a very charming scene holds authority, in which they're like, no, 0:17:10.160 --> 0:17:13.159 I claim it, I claim it. Fern wants to like 0:17:13.240 --> 0:17:16.200 find she needs that power converter. She's hoping one's in there. 0:17:16.280 --> 0:17:19.560 Probably one is in there. She lies though, and says 0:17:19.640 --> 0:17:22.320 that this is probably some kind of like cannibal sewer 0:17:23.119 --> 0:17:26.680 thing absolute queen of tall tales. Eventually they agree to 0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:30.600 a tenuous alliance to explore this. That night Dad comes home, 0:17:30.720 --> 0:17:32.920 it's like the garage is open, the house is dark. Whim, 0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:35.800 where the fuck are you? Where they are is digging 0:17:36.080 --> 0:17:40.760 into the dirt to like unearth this thing. KB gets 0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:43.159 it open, because again, KB is the one who knows 0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:47.639 how to do stuff in this tenuous alliance of four kids. 0:17:48.480 --> 0:17:52.080 And they go inside. But well, they're about to go 0:17:52.160 --> 0:17:56.360 inside when Whim's dad shows up. Inside the hatch, they 0:17:56.400 --> 0:18:00.120 find like a rectroid caught it a booby trap. And 0:18:00.160 --> 0:18:02.800 this is where I'm like, oh, I get it. This 0:18:02.840 --> 0:18:03.800 is goonies in space. 0:18:03.880 --> 0:18:07.080 I love it absolutely fu getting them in the design 0:18:07.080 --> 0:18:09.600 of this bottle is so cool, oh. 0:18:09.440 --> 0:18:14.000 Man with an unlimited supply of little rats to come 0:18:14.040 --> 0:18:14.920 out of its eye too. 0:18:14.960 --> 0:18:19.000 Throughout the next couple episodes, Oh my god, the kids 0:18:19.080 --> 0:18:22.520 accidentally trigger the door. Really Wim does, and now they're trapped. 0:18:22.600 --> 0:18:27.320 KB suggests, like in a video game, follow these wires 0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:31.480 and we will find the source of power. Meanwhile, Wim 0:18:31.600 --> 0:18:34.879 is just dropping Jedi facts as they're exploring. KB and 0:18:34.920 --> 0:18:38.160 Fern are leading the way. Wim is frustrated because Neil 0:18:38.560 --> 0:18:41.280 is like getting nervous and is like, I just kind 0:18:41.320 --> 0:18:43.200 of want to go home, Like this is your idea, 0:18:43.240 --> 0:18:45.879 I'm not into this, and Wim is like what are 0:18:45.920 --> 0:18:47.680 you talking about? This is like the greatest thing that's 0:18:47.720 --> 0:18:50.240 ever happened to any of us. This is like the 0:18:50.240 --> 0:18:54.440 best And he goes off to explore KB. In what 0:18:54.600 --> 0:18:57.280 will again is part of a theme, KB gets the 0:18:57.320 --> 0:19:01.760 power back on, they discover their ship elsewhere, Whim is 0:19:01.800 --> 0:19:06.600 like on the bridge. He is flipping fucking switches and 0:19:06.760 --> 0:19:11.359 pushing buttons and putting on headsets. I prefer it as like, stop, 0:19:11.920 --> 0:19:12.800 don't touch anything. 0:19:12.800 --> 0:19:13.560 What are you doing. 0:19:13.920 --> 0:19:17.200 Let's go back to the hatch and leave. Whim sees 0:19:17.200 --> 0:19:19.600 a fucking blinking light and he presses it because this 0:19:19.720 --> 0:19:25.800 kid like amped up for adventure, and of course the 0:19:25.840 --> 0:19:28.480 ship takes off. They peek out of the hatch, they 0:19:28.520 --> 0:19:31.399 see fucking Whim's dad. He's like waving at them, like 0:19:31.440 --> 0:19:34.119 what do you Wim nearly falls off, the ship almost dies. 0:19:34.359 --> 0:19:36.959 The kids pull them back inside and next thing you know, 0:19:38.240 --> 0:19:42.560 hyperspace is achieved and they are flying away. That is 0:19:42.600 --> 0:19:44.280 the end of Act one. That is the end of 0:19:44.680 --> 0:19:47.239 our little talk. Be back with you after a word 0:19:47.280 --> 0:19:48.040 from our sponsors. 0:19:48.880 --> 0:20:00.159 Yeah, and. 0:20:04.960 --> 0:20:09.000 We're back a charming start. No, Joelle Aaron I say 0:20:09.160 --> 0:20:11.800 like already I'm in. 0:20:12.480 --> 0:20:15.119 Freakingly delightful my huggles were up because Skeleton Crew was 0:20:15.119 --> 0:20:17.359 such a dope name for a show. And then they're like, 0:20:17.400 --> 0:20:19.480 but it's a kid's show, I said, not. 0:20:19.680 --> 0:20:20.960 A horror Star Wars. 0:20:21.000 --> 0:20:23.960 I was okay, so I had to adjusted expectations. Luckily 0:20:24.000 --> 0:20:26.320 they gave me a lot of time to think about it. 0:20:26.400 --> 0:20:28.800 They were like, but Jude Laws here, he's gonna be 0:20:28.960 --> 0:20:32.200 giving bad daddy sort of pirate energy. 0:20:32.359 --> 0:20:32.920 That's fun. 0:20:33.000 --> 0:20:36.720 Okay, I really like the opening sequence here, the right 0:20:37.119 --> 0:20:42.000 number of alien characters all of Star Wars, this number 0:20:42.000 --> 0:20:45.600 of aliens in my shows, okay, correct. And then when 0:20:45.600 --> 0:20:48.480 we get to the kids, I really feel I'm not 0:20:48.480 --> 0:20:52.080 gonna call them out because they're kids, but like most 0:20:52.119 --> 0:20:53.919 of these kids are doing really, really well. One of 0:20:53.920 --> 0:20:56.120 them is a little bit behind, uh, struggling to keep 0:20:56.160 --> 0:20:58.920 up performance wise.
