I'm here for it. A lot 18 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,679 Speaker 1: of my friends have contacted me and said basically like, 19 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 1: don't talk to me about it. You know I have 20 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: talked to them about it, So you do.

So now that 23 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: they're watching it, they will start putting things together. Yes, exactly, 24 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 1: That's what several of my friends have said, including Christina 25 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 1: who is going on this journey with us, super producer Christina, 26 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: who is watching along and somehow didn't take in any 27 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 1: of the spoilers. So I'm very happy. But also thanks 28 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 1: to super producer Christina, because for these nine weeks that 29 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 1: this is airing, we're going to replace my Happy Hours, 30 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: which come out every other week, UM, with these and 31 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 1: they're gonna come out on Saturdays, so you can get 32 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 1: prepared for the next episode that comes out on Sunday.

We will go 35 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: after this is over, We'll be going back to our 36 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,959 Speaker 1: regular scheduled program. Maybe there's something else we're going to 37 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 1: jump into. We love change and we love trying anything new. 38 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 1: We do we do um And if you know listening 39 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,920 Speaker 1: to this, you have any other ideas or things we 40 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 1: could try, just let us know. We are on TikTok now. 41 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 1: And one of the videos went up last week about 42 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 1: the first episode. We did that episode was very haphazard. 43 00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: I think we decided to do it like right before. Right. Yeah, 44 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,079 Speaker 1: So if it's that's a little chaotic, it was a 45 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 1: little chaotic. Um. But now now we have a better 46 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 1: idea of how it's gonna go. Now Samantha and I 47 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 1: have like washed our faces and stuff. We actually brushed teeth, 48 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 1: cold hair and things like that, hopefully, Although I will 49 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 1: say my hair, I've been trying new things. I watched 50 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 1: this YouTube with an Asian creator. She's so cute. She's like, 51 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: just do this. Lies, I can't just do this. That 52 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 1: doesn't happen for me. So I just look like I 53 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: have like clown hair a little bit. You know what, 54 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: It's better than what it was before? Is it? Does 55 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 1: it look like what she had? No? Not at all. 56 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: But I'm gonna try so to that Asian creator. You're 57 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 1: so cute, but it's not as simple. Yeah, well it 58 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: looks you look good to me. Some I blend in 59 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 1: the background, so it's it's fine. It's fine. Yeah, yeah, 60 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 1: I mean, but I do you do you gotta sneep 61 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: peak about how we normally look. I had my like 62 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 1: comfy like lesser comfy, which just like a little thinner 63 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: than the original Comfy and you were like so tired, 64 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 1: but overexcited that was definitely our walk. And right now 65 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: you are wearing an ode to Lost of Us shirt, 66 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: the Lost of Us, the Lost of Us. Yes, so 67 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 1: this shirt I think is going to come out. It's 68 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 1: an Ellie. She wears it throughout most of the first game. 69 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 1: I think in the next episode we're going to see 70 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 1: this shirt. But if you haven't seen it, it's kind 71 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: of a like Hawaiian style retro surf shirt. I usually 72 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,599 Speaker 1: wear it a dragon con and people recognize it. People 73 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 1: do recognize it. Um, it's your low key cosplay. I yes, 74 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,160 Speaker 1: as you said, and I think you're correct. That's been 75 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: my pandemic style because that's been your style. Yeah. Well, 76 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 1: I'm also throwing an ode because one of the things 77 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: I don't know if you can see it. One of 78 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: the things that we do for each other for Christmas. 79 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:10,480 Speaker 1: We love very themed, very on point presence, and you 80 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 1: I think this is the one I bought. Actually, you 81 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: had bought a tumbler that was the last of Us themed, 82 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 1: and then I also bought a tumblers to actually have 83 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 1: you know, more tumblers at each other's places and this 84 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:28,160 Speaker 1: one has a butterfly. Yeah, so I'm gonna be talking 85 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,679 Speaker 1: about We're gonna be talking about and I am sipping 86 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: from something that you also gave me, which is my 87 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: infamous new favorite wine tumblers, so I can read fan 88 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:44,159 Speaker 1: fiction or write fan fiction without building it hopefully. Yeah, 89 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 1: that was the intent. I was like, I need to 90 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: I need to get you a sippy cup for a bed, 91 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: because I was saying like I would love to just 92 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: relax in bed and do this, but the wine I 93 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:57,279 Speaker 1: got you. We got this here, yes, but yeah, let's 94 00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 1: get into this right, Yeah, let's do it. Let's ste it. 95 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 1: You're gonna So we thought we would have Samantha give 96 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 1: yes the recap and I don't even recap because I'm 97 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: gonna probably a little more succinct and less detail than you. 98 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,720 Speaker 1: That's what we were saying. Like in that level, as 99 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: you get so excited and then you get caught up 100 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: in like what's in the video games, which listeners, I 101 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,720 Speaker 1: may end up trying to video Annie watching an episode 102 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: because it's quite delightful to see her react in the 103 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:30,479 Speaker 1: moment to these episodes. I may have to actually record 104 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: this with your permission. Of course, but you're quite giddy. 105 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:38,839 Speaker 1: So no, no surprise to anyone. This episode was huge 106 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 1: and he has a lot of predictions. We're not going 107 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 1: to give those predictions because most likely they're going to 108 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 1: be on point since she has played the games, yes, 109 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 1: and so we're not going to do that. You have predictions, actually, Andy, 110 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 1: and have predictions for the finale too, and how they're 111 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: gon we won't. We won't tell you until after the fact. 112 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: We're not gonna be that cruel. So let's do a 113 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,919 Speaker 1: quick recap up before we begin. We see that Ellie, 114 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:08,239 Speaker 1: Joel and Tests are in an abandoned home, very picturesque scene. 115 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: She's lying looks like on a meadow with a cute butterfly. 116 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: And I have a lot of questions about these creatures, 117 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 1: by the way, and how they are not infected. But okay, 118 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 1: Joel and Tests have just found out that Ellie had 119 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: been bitten but not quite infected, even though that little 120 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: radar little detector did say she was infected, but she 121 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 1: hadn't turned so they're very cautious, little wary. Joel wants 122 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: to turn back, send send her on her way. If 123 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 1: they kill her, great, if they don't, doesn't matter it does, 124 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 1: it's not up to them. Test is like, no, this 125 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 1: is about getting in the car. We have a mission, 126 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 1: we need a battery. We gotta keep going. But Test 127 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: is also very interested and Ellie and what she is about, 128 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: so there's a lot of questions. She finally finds out 129 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 1: the secret that Marlene is wanting her to go to 130 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 1: a center, a firefly center with doctors who may be 131 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 1: able to get a cure through Lee. So big secret, 132 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: all right, whatever what not? Here we have Tests being 133 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 1: all like monotone and tough and be like, this is 134 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 1: about us. We only care about us. We're gonna do 135 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 1: what we need for us. So we'll take you there, 136 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 1: but if you twitch or anything, we're taking you out, essentially. Um. 137 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 1: And so they're on the way. We have the fun 138 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 1: line before they leave about sandwiches and Ellie, Ellie trying 139 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 1: to get a gun. She'd be like, fine, I'll just 140 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 1: throw sandwich at them. Hilarious. We love it, um And 141 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 1: I've seen a lot of memes about Oh, yes, she's 142 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 1: definitely our Ellie because this kind of does track does 143 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 1: very well. Tracked with it. Ellie of the video games, sarcastic, 144 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: trying to be very tough, being stoic, little private, and jokey, 145 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:47,719 Speaker 1: very very jokey with her sarcasm. We stand. So they 146 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 1: move on um and talk more about their past. There's 147 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 1: a connection a little bit with Joel and Ellie at 148 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 1: the hotel, and yes, I believe there is a hotel 149 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 1: scene in the game. Correct, So this is really on 150 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,719 Speaker 1: a y'all When we say it's on point, they did 151 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 1: a great job. So the hotel scene is pretty true. 152 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 1: She gets really excited. Uh there is a swim scene. 153 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 1: She does learn to swim later on right spoiler ahead 154 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 1: because of things like this where she says I can't swim. 155 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 1: Of course she can't swim. And then Joel is a 156 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,439 Speaker 1: smart like jumps in and it's just WASTEI She's like, 157 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,680 Speaker 1: oh yeah, like I'm supposed to know that. Very cute. 158 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 1: They move on UM. He is very protective on heart. 159 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 1: We saw that previously because he kind of has that 160 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 1: flashback with his daughter. He even protected when she jumps 161 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 1: from a corpse and he's right there helps her up. 162 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 1: So you start to see you in a connection, but 163 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,959 Speaker 1: he's trying to still be gruff and push her away. 164 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,960 Speaker 1: They move on UM and we have that moment where 165 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 1: test checks it out, which was also in the game 166 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 1: one point y'all that she will, they go and see 167 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 1: all the zombies essentially, I'm gonna call the zombies for 168 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 1: now because at this point we haven't truly seen the Clicker. 169 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:02,319 Speaker 1: We've heard them an episode one, but we haven't seen it. 170 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:06,320 Speaker 1: And then they go through the museum, Boston Museum with 171 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 1: all of the things, and we meet the Clickers, which 172 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 1: BT dubs were the actual actors and the voice actors 173 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,440 Speaker 1: in the game. We love this, We love this, and 174 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 1: the costumes are on point. Everything even the battle you 175 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 1: played this, you played this scene, you all is incredible. Um. 176 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,359 Speaker 1: But they make it out finally, after a lot of shooting, 177 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 1: a lot of beating down, a lot of scariness, being 178 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 1: completely silent, and there is that in the game you 179 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:39,559 Speaker 1: have to be completely silent as well. Real good, they 180 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 1: make it out. But oh and they make it to 181 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 1: the checkpoint where they're supposed to take l a. Oh no, 182 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 1: everyone's dead. What has happened? Because it doesn't It wasn't 183 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,439 Speaker 1: the clickers. Right at this point, we know the clickers 184 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: don't do this. It was more violent than that. Yeah, 185 00:10:55,120 --> 00:11:00,720 Speaker 1: So however, oh no, they step on the what are 186 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: the tendrils, the tendril lines which all communicate with all 187 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 1: of them, so they're all linked to this, which is 188 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 1: the variation from the game. In the game, it's spores 189 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: and this we have tendrils. So it alerts all of 190 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,960 Speaker 1: the zombies. They all come and don't know all the fighting. 191 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 1: Oh no, everything's happening in this getting bad. Oh good, 192 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 1: We're okay. And then Tests has a change of heart 193 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 1: because they're like, wait, this is where we were supposed 194 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 1: to go and we didn't get anything we needed. We 195 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 1: need to turn back all these things and Test is like, no, 196 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 1: she's our only hope. At this point, she's like, I 197 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 1: will hold them off. After she's convincing Joel, you have 198 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 1: to take her. You have to take her. This is that, 199 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 1: this is what we need. And then it turns out, 200 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:45,679 Speaker 1: oh no, Tests got bitten and by the way, Ellie 201 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 1: got bit again, I think in this that did not 202 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: happen in the game, so I was really kind of 203 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 1: what what just happened? That happens to But she doesn't 204 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 1: change as where obviously tests By is infected very quickly. 205 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 1: Um so she stays behind while she gives them a 206 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,680 Speaker 1: chance to run away a lot of sadness. Ellie wants 207 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 1: to stay. Uh Joel, Daddy Joel for daddy. Pedro Pascal 208 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 1: as y'all want to say, grabs her runs away and 209 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,440 Speaker 1: we see the really horrific scene by the way of 210 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 1: her making out with the tin drilled zombie turning clicker guy, 211 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 1: and it was really horrific. Everybody was like, why did 212 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 1: this have to happen? I was like, why did this 213 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 1: have to happen? Um? And then she was able to 214 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 1: after a very tense moment with the lighter. Constantly, I 215 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:33,839 Speaker 1: was like, why don't you just spark it? Just lay 216 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 1: down in spark it. I don't understand that sparks would 217 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,560 Speaker 1: be enough, but whatever, I digress. She finally gets it, 218 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 1: throws it, boom explodes, and next thing we see is 219 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 1: Joel and Ellie are on their way to Portland's don't 220 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 1: I don't Where are they go away? Where are they going? Annie? 221 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 1: They're going to see Bill and Frank, who have been 222 00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,679 Speaker 1: go take him to Fill and Frank. And we did 223 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 1: get a preview. If you did say the preview, you 224 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 1: know Nick Offerman is coming into play as Bill, right, okay, um? 225 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,320 Speaker 1: And yes, this this this is all in part with 226 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 1: the game. I forgot the beginning part which we do see. 227 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: The scene of the beginning of the infection in Jakarta 228 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,199 Speaker 1: with the doctor is now infamously a name as now 229 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 1: to saying bomb bomb everything. It is now a name um, 230 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,439 Speaker 1: which is really sad, which was shocking for all of us. 231 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:34,959 Speaker 1: And this scene is not a part of the game. 232 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 1: So they actually pushed back even more to get the backstory, 233 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,439 Speaker 1: which we all very much enjoyed and was glad that 234 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 1: they did that. Yeah, so next up possibly Bill and 235 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,200 Speaker 1: Frank and more deaths, probably all just all the guests 236 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have. Yeah, as I said, it's a grim story. 237 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 1: I've had at least two friends text me like how 238 00:13:56,280 --> 00:14:15,080 Speaker 1: did you do this? And I will have like my 239 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,680 Speaker 1: non spoiler predictions at the end of pros. I'm like, 240 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 1: really keeping this in mind. That was an excellent recaps 241 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 1: about thank you. I tried, I'm trying to make you 242 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 1: proud and then keep it in the scene. Thank you, 243 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 1: And I also want to thank you because you were 244 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 1: very kind and have hosted these. We did our Lunar 245 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 1: New Year. I was very excited because even the last 246 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 1: of us is not necessarily anything to do with the 247 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 1: Lunar New Year. I wanted to do all the Korean 248 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 1: traditions and we did it. We had the soup to 249 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 1: book and I love that. So hopefully we'll have good luck, 250 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 1: including good luck with these episodes being heard by the 251 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 1: right people to know that Annie obviously needs a podcast 252 00:14:54,000 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 1: about Last of Us obviously ously right. Okay, So I 253 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 1: have a lot of things, a lot of things I 254 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 1: want to talk about. First of all, there is something 255 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 1: I want to do quick Like, like I said the 256 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 1: last episode, we didn't know we were going to do this. 257 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 1: Every time you probably heard like artifacts of that, so 258 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 1: I wasn't being as detailed. A couple of things I 259 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 1: wanted to point out very quickly. Um. I forgot to 260 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 1: mention that you start the game playing Sarah Um. So 261 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 1: imagine like with how heartbreaking it was when you watched it, 262 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 1: like it's you're playing Sarah Um and you don't as 263 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 1: I said in there, and I won't spoil it anymore, 264 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 1: but you don't always play Joel. You do spend most 265 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 1: of the game playing Joel, but you don't always play Joel. 266 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:47,359 Speaker 1: But that was one of the things that's really heartbreaking. Um. 267 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 1: Something else that came up in this second episode. That's 268 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 1: the creators UM have mentioned about what they changed between 269 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 1: adapting it from the game to TV was Joel's physicality, 270 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 1: and so he's like, kind of I think he's hard 271 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 1: of hearing in one here they have that line like 272 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 1: they have bad knees UM at one point. So trying 273 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 1: to be more um accurate, I guess, and that aspect 274 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 1: of it, But you're definitely more realistic rights and I'm 275 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 1: not quite tippy sit on my couch these days, um. 276 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 1: But Joel mentions that he got a hairline fracture from 277 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 1: punching that soldier over and over a game when he 278 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 1: had that flashback about Sarah UM in the first episode. 279 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 1: So he says, you got a hairline. And I felt 280 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 1: like it was supposed to be kind of symbolic of 281 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 1: his leftover trauma from Sarah, because there is the scene 282 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 1: where he helps Ellie up with his hand and then 283 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 1: like jerks it away because it hurts. He has an 284 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 1: hairline fracture. Also, just to scare you even more, court 285 00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 1: as steps is a real thing. Yeah, he real You 286 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 1: probably have seen a lot of articles coming out about 287 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,440 Speaker 1: it from scientists. It is a real thing. It does, 288 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 1: it has a history with insects, as they did in 289 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 1: the first episode mentioned, so just leave that there you'd 290 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 1: have nightmares about here you go, this could happen. I 291 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,680 Speaker 1: did have a conversation with them Lauren over on Saver, 292 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,680 Speaker 1: who's very scientifically minded, and she started me talk about 293 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,800 Speaker 1: the game a lot um and she knows about quarter 294 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:32,639 Speaker 1: steps and she watched the first thing she said to 295 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 1: me was like, well, they really went for it, didn't 296 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:39,640 Speaker 1: they Like, it's the tendril, y'all. That's a nightmare. It's 297 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 1: so scary. Um. There's also I realized they have, but 298 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:46,959 Speaker 1: they do have a bunch of things from the second game, 299 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 1: which I won't go and do too much, but one 300 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,399 Speaker 1: of them is this alarm sound that keeps coming up, 301 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 1: and that is huge in the second one, so watch 302 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,199 Speaker 1: out for that. As long as the butterflies, moths and fireflies, 303 00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 1: those are big symbols and motifs. Well. So you've seen 304 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 1: the butterflies a lot with Sarah and now with Ellie 305 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 1: as you mentioned one, and then the firefive's obviously, and 306 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:09,920 Speaker 1: the moss I think will come in. They'll come in later, 307 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:14,640 Speaker 1: but something else to look forward to. I did want 308 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 1: to talk about the opening scene. Moving into episode two, now, fully, 309 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:21,720 Speaker 1: I feel like they've really done a great job with 310 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 1: the cold opens, which aren't in the game, but they 311 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 1: kind of established how dire this is. Uh. And so 312 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 1: in this one, first of all, the whole flower Fan 313 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:40,680 Speaker 1: theory turn out to be correl. Yes, it's verified through 314 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:44,639 Speaker 1: the doctor and the military at Jakarta, yes, which we 315 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 1: mentioned in the previous episode. But I did love that episode. 316 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 1: I thought it was like, it was horrifying. And when 317 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,960 Speaker 1: we were watching it, when they're examining the body, we 318 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:57,680 Speaker 1: thought it was gonna like snap her mouth. I thought 319 00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 1: she wouldn't get to me too, me too, But I 320 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 1: liked that it didn't. And I liked the ominous like yeah, 321 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: bomb bomb everything, um, and then her kind of crying 322 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:09,159 Speaker 1: and saying, I just want to go home and be 323 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,640 Speaker 1: with my family. Uh. And then I noticed in my 324 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,120 Speaker 1: like fifth three watch, I watch this so many times already. 325 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 1: It spread so quickly because it's nine, it's September in 326 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 1: Jakarta when she does that, and the in the first 327 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 1: episode with what happens with Joel and Sarah, that's September, yes, 328 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:31,400 Speaker 1: And now my birthday, which is also September, is always 329 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 1: she literally says happy birthday. It's last of us day 330 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 1: in the world. It's quite funny. Well you know that's 331 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 1: about right, that's about right. Yeah, but it just reread 332 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 1: so fast like that's that's terrifying. Yeah. And then I 333 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,119 Speaker 1: have a couple of themes for this episode that I 334 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 1: wanted to talk about. One is, as we mentioned, I 335 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,639 Speaker 1: think in the first episode there wasn't that much of Ellie. 336 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 1: She was introduced, um, but she wasn't in it that much. 337 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,159 Speaker 1: This episode had a lot more of her, of her 338 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:12,400 Speaker 1: character and seeing more about her um. As you said, 339 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 1: she's very sarcastic. Um, she's funny. She's kind of like 340 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:20,440 Speaker 1: a dichotomy of like childish innocence and curiosity but also 341 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:26,439 Speaker 1: like cursing. It has seen violence and yeah, which is 342 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 1: throughout the game, and very very spot on with with 343 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:33,120 Speaker 1: her character. I do think they did a really good 344 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,600 Speaker 1: job of establishing like how important she is, perhaps better 345 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 1: than they did in the game, because in the game 346 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 1: you're kind of like, oh, yeah, I mean it's important, 347 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 1: but in this they're like, there's no vaccine, there's no medicine, 348 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,439 Speaker 1: and then they have her like maybe she could be 349 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 1: to cure for all of this and how how horrible 350 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 1: it is. Um So, I think they did a really 351 00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:00,159 Speaker 1: good job with that when she talks about how she 352 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 1: was bitten, which you'll see more of. Um they didn't 353 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 1: do that in the first game, but it is a 354 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 1: good reminder that she was like a fourteen year old 355 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 1: child who's grown up in kind of a military school, right, 356 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 1: and she wanted to go see what I'm all was like. 357 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,680 Speaker 1: And there are a couple of scenes throughout where she 358 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 1: gets curious about what life was like before and kind 359 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,119 Speaker 1: of plummix by like, Oh, you were going to go 360 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 1: see these movies or you were worried about your weight 361 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 1: or all of these things, and it just doesn't make 362 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:39,679 Speaker 1: sense to her, right, And like again her interest in 363 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 1: the hotel, the whole scene of being like, did you 364 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,199 Speaker 1: stay at one of these? But that's a novelty and 365 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 1: I liked his the response, this is out of my 366 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 1: pay right now, we're getting goodn't afford this place, which 367 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 1: is like, yeah, I get that, but yeah, I think 368 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 1: it's really right on with our character. And I know 369 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 1: there's a conversation about Bella Ramsay being this character, and 370 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,159 Speaker 1: I feel like she's kind of taking it on her 371 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:05,879 Speaker 1: own but still is really on point with the game. 372 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 1: So her childlike characters, her anger, her stoicness, That's exactly 373 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 1: what I remember in her trying to get to know, 374 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:16,439 Speaker 1: Like that whole thing when she's trying to ask all 375 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 1: the questions with Joel kind of was on point with 376 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,159 Speaker 1: the game as well, because she wants to know so 377 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 1: many things. She's trying to learn some things. Her wanting 378 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 1: a gun, that's that was a whole theme throughout as well. 379 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 1: So I feel like it was really on point, uh 380 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 1: in getting her established as this I want to be tough, 381 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 1: but I'm very curious and I'm still a child right 382 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 1: right because she's never been outside, like she said that 383 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,439 Speaker 1: in the first episode, and it almost like gave them 384 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 1: away because she's never been outside the quarantine zone the 385 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 1: q z UM and so like the scenery was all yes, 386 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:55,359 Speaker 1: as you said, spot on in the game, but her 387 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 1: kind of in wonderment of these buildings that have collapsed 388 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 1: and like seeing this greenery in this light, and y'all 389 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 1: when that scenery popped up Annie and then the prisman, 390 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 1: oh my god, Like that was the reaction of the 391 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 1: scenery because it was so on point and it was 392 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,679 Speaker 1: so grand and it's filming and the way they filmed it, 393 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 1: but like, yes, the reaction was yes, so many people 394 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 1: texted me about the museum because they were like, this 395 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,640 Speaker 1: is exact. Oh my god, I'm getting like chills. Yes, 396 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:32,679 Speaker 1: I know. Also, I'm not gonna say much more about this, 397 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 1: but Ellie' knife is important. That probably doesn't surprise you. Um, 398 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:40,639 Speaker 1: but her doing a little tricks with her knife behind 399 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 1: the scenes, remember a little little peak, can't. Yes, I 400 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:50,159 Speaker 1: didn't think it was interesting when they go through the 401 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 1: hotel and all those discordant notes happened on piano when 402 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 1: Joel and Ellie are trying to like connect or communicate, 403 00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 1: because I feel like they are. He's starting to see 404 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,240 Speaker 1: the world through her eyes a little bit, because she 405 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:02,879 Speaker 1: has a couple of moments where he's just taken it 406 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 1: back by her view, like when she's like, oh, look 407 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,239 Speaker 1: at this. You can't deny this view, and he's kind 408 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,879 Speaker 1: of like what because he doesn't her. He said he 409 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 1: she's weird. Yes, yes, yes, but it's like they're trying 410 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,199 Speaker 1: to find some common ground and connect but it's not 411 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:26,920 Speaker 1: there yet. Yes, which brings us to tests, Oh my god, 412 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 1: they did change your story quite a bit. And it's 413 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,399 Speaker 1: funny because I've heard, you know, gamer is going to 414 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,440 Speaker 1: be gamers and they're like to be mad about things, 415 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 1: but people were kind of mad about it. I thought 416 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,880 Speaker 1: it was pretty good. Um, I like, I always liked 417 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 1: about tests. Unfortunately, there was so many characters in the 418 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 1: In these games, you don't know them for very long, 419 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 1: or you don't get to know them in depth. And 420 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 1: that doesn't necessarily mean they die or anything. It's just 421 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:54,919 Speaker 1: kind of the nature of the game. But I always 422 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 1: loved about her that she was. She was like Joel, 423 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:00,960 Speaker 1: but as you said in the last one, she's much 424 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 1: more kind of like even killed, cool headed, responsible, And 425 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:13,399 Speaker 1: so when this thing happens with Ellie, she is the 426 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,440 Speaker 1: one in the game and in the show who's like, Okay, 427 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 1: we've made this decision and kind of makes an effort 428 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 1: to maybe not bond with Ellie, but like get to 429 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 1: know Ellie, like talks to her, answers her questions. Yeah, 430 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:28,919 Speaker 1: in a way that Joel does not. Joel is very 431 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 1: like right right, and she and she talks about the 432 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:35,919 Speaker 1: whole mall scene, and she's a man, you got some 433 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,639 Speaker 1: balls on you, like, that's what she says to Ellie, 434 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 1: which Elie texas a compliment obviously. Um, but that level 435 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:47,920 Speaker 1: of non fear of Ellie, which is obviously changing as 436 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 1: she is growing and seeing more and more Tests admires 437 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,199 Speaker 1: and obviously sees that as a strength for her, but 438 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 1: also sees her as a child China needing to protect her, 439 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:02,520 Speaker 1: right Yeah, and he is very protective of her. She 440 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:03,879 Speaker 1: also has that scene where she's like, I'm going to 441 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 1: talk to you like an adult, but is protective and 442 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 1: I think pretty quickly has a respect for her, like 443 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 1: they have, they bond, they do bond, and Ellie really 444 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 1: respected Tests and Tests dying does not leave her quickly, 445 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 1: which is one of the things I do love about 446 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:29,200 Speaker 1: the game is like those things Linger, you can see 447 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 1: the trauma throughout. Um that is also a theme because 448 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 1: as a reminder, but one of the things I do 449 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:55,640 Speaker 1: enjoy about Testa's character as well is that she when 450 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:59,720 Speaker 1: she realizes she's going to die, she's the one that's like, 451 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:05,040 Speaker 1: this could be real, Like this Ellie could be the cure, 452 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 1: she could be the back seed. We've done some terrible things. 453 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,720 Speaker 1: This might be like a way for redemption or something. 454 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:16,639 Speaker 1: But she uses like whereas I think Joel would very 455 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,800 Speaker 1: much be like, well it's over and give up. She 456 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 1: was like, no, we have to see this through. We 457 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 1: have to see this through, and kind of offering that 458 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:28,920 Speaker 1: leadership and using that like still having hope, even though 459 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 1: from what we've seen of her largely she's kind of like, yeah, 460 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:38,239 Speaker 1: where people, Joel, we're not good people, right right? She 461 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,720 Speaker 1: does say said things right right, she does. She is 462 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,400 Speaker 1: more and the scene versus what happens in the game. 463 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,400 Speaker 1: She is more like the line safe who you can 464 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 1: save that's unique to the show. She's much more like, 465 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,639 Speaker 1: you know, you've got to We've got to see this 466 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 1: as far as it can go. If you care about 467 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 1: me at all, you will do this for me, this 468 00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 1: last thing. And she does have like some of my 469 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 1: favorite lines that they kept in there. I like how 470 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:09,440 Speaker 1: she reveals the bite and says oops, right um. This 471 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,639 Speaker 1: also was very much changed how she died versus in 472 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:16,480 Speaker 1: the game versus the show, it was pretty changed. And 473 00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 1: this was one of the things where we saw, like 474 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 1: that kiss, the very disturbing kiss. They that was one 475 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:24,920 Speaker 1: of the big things they changed was how it spreads 476 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,879 Speaker 1: and how they communicate. So as you said, like in 477 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:31,879 Speaker 1: the game, you don't have to worry about like tendrils. 478 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:38,160 Speaker 1: Sometimes the they're called runners. The regular zombies will swarm. 479 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 1: But that's more because if they hear sound, they will come. 480 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:48,040 Speaker 1: This brings us to the clickers. Of the clickers are 481 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:54,760 Speaker 1: so terrifying. In the game. There was audible screaming. The 482 00:28:54,840 --> 00:29:03,960 Speaker 1: audience screwed twice. Actually it was so but it's so scary. Um. 483 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,960 Speaker 1: But one of the most diabolical things about this game 484 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 1: is when you first me to clicker number one. They're 485 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 1: not easy to kill, and they can hear you, like 486 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 1: if you step on glass, if you move too quickly, 487 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 1: they can hear you. But runners and so called regular 488 00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,200 Speaker 1: zombies can see you. So you've got a problem because 489 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 1: one group can see you but can't hear too well, 490 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,640 Speaker 1: and the other ones you can hear everything you do 491 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:33,440 Speaker 1: but can't see you. Strategy, you're gonna be smart. Um. 492 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,160 Speaker 1: But they were. They were very well done. The sound 493 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:42,400 Speaker 1: was excellent, so one point scary scary. It was scary 494 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 1: like it made me jump. I didn't scream, but it 495 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 1: made me jump for sure. Yeah. Yeah. And the costuming 496 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 1: was great. The movements of the actors were right there 497 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 1: with the movements of the game as well, like the 498 00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,560 Speaker 1: hiding and the ducking and the crawling and the rolling. 499 00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,760 Speaker 1: It was as in the game. When um people play 500 00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:03,360 Speaker 1: this is also why I can't play games. I don't 501 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 1: know how to do all that. What what are these buttons? 502 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,200 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. The scene where like Joel is like 503 00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,440 Speaker 1: trying to like hold his flashlight in between his like 504 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,440 Speaker 1: his chin and his shoulder and he's trying to get 505 00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 1: the AMMO and the gun, and then the camera moves 506 00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:26,040 Speaker 1: and the clickers right next to him. So good because 507 00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 1: it's true, if you could be quiet, they could be 508 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:29,760 Speaker 1: right there. You just have to hope they don't accidentally 509 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:35,520 Speaker 1: turn your way anyway. But um, yeah, I people were 510 00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,080 Speaker 1: very excited about it, looking forward to if you played 511 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:39,640 Speaker 1: the game, and that was one of the that's one 512 00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:41,560 Speaker 1: of the fun things. It's like, if you haven't played it, 513 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 1: you don't know they're called clickers, and I thought they 514 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:47,680 Speaker 1: did such a good job of when you see Joel 515 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:51,640 Speaker 1: and Tessa's fear about, oh, there might be clickers in 516 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:58,680 Speaker 1: this building spot on spot on UM. I also loved 517 00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,600 Speaker 1: Ellie's kind of joking lot Mine, where she's like, so 518 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:05,800 Speaker 1: there aren't here's zombies that throws s four packets at 519 00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:08,520 Speaker 1: you and in tests like god, I hope not. And 520 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:11,680 Speaker 1: then she says and there aren't ones that have their 521 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,120 Speaker 1: heads split open and can hear like bats. And they 522 00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:24,240 Speaker 1: go both go like yes, um okay. So in the 523 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,320 Speaker 1: final wrap up of this, I did want to read 524 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,200 Speaker 1: we got some We've gotten some messages about this, so 525 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,640 Speaker 1: thank you, you love it, um, and I want to 526 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,760 Speaker 1: read this one from Steph who wrote, greetings from Edmonton, 527 00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:37,840 Speaker 1: or as you know it, post Apocalypse of Boston. I 528 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:39,960 Speaker 1: just watched episode two of the Last of Us, which 529 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,800 Speaker 1: was partly filmed in Edmonton. I never expected the city 530 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:46,480 Speaker 1: to be so recognizable. The first outdoor and scene was 531 00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:48,880 Speaker 1: shot in front of my current workplace. My building is 532 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,480 Speaker 1: hidden by a pile of rubble. I remember watching them 533 00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:54,960 Speaker 1: film it last year, and they eventually walked past my 534 00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:56,800 Speaker 1: old building on the way to the State House a 535 00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:01,160 Speaker 1: k a. Alberta Legislature. If you're wondering, the short way 536 00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,960 Speaker 1: between these buildings would take about ten minutes to walk. 537 00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 1: My partner and I got such a kick pointing out 538 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:08,520 Speaker 1: local landmarks as we've watched it. If you are ever 539 00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:11,240 Speaker 1: in town, the legislature is worth a visit. It is 540 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:13,080 Speaker 1: on the bank of a river surrounded by a park. 541 00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:19,880 Speaker 1: It's actually beautiful when it's not covered in zombies. Yeah. Yeah, 542 00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,160 Speaker 1: We've had a lot of stuff filmed in Atlanta, and 543 00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:23,600 Speaker 1: one of the fun things is to see if you 544 00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:27,160 Speaker 1: recognize and know exactly where they're located. I'm like, oh, 545 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:30,120 Speaker 1: that's that ridge and that's that lane. Yet it is 546 00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,760 Speaker 1: really only imagine. Yes, yes, it did look beautiful. Of 547 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:38,239 Speaker 1: the zombies. Yeah, the view was lovely. There were so 548 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,479 Speaker 1: many scenes that I of course was like, there it is. 549 00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:47,480 Speaker 1: It's that um yes, yes, So here's my non spoiler 550 00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:51,680 Speaker 1: things to look forward to. One would be the bloater 551 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:56,440 Speaker 1: Bloaters and if you watch the after scene with all 552 00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,720 Speaker 1: of the directors, you may have actually understand what we're 553 00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 1: talking of. Your might you might dude. Anotherre is we're 554 00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:06,280 Speaker 1: gonna I think we're going to be introduced with some 555 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,120 Speaker 1: queer storylines in the next one. I think the next 556 00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,239 Speaker 1: one is going to be amazing, And I also think 557 00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:15,040 Speaker 1: it's gonna be the biggest departure from the game actual gameplay, 558 00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:19,080 Speaker 1: because that story does exist, but it's easily you have 559 00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,239 Speaker 1: to do. You have to do the extras. I know 560 00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:25,000 Speaker 1: during your play through with my partner, you made him 561 00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,600 Speaker 1: go through the all that I did, go to this building, 562 00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:31,920 Speaker 1: and go to that building and turn that note. And 563 00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,280 Speaker 1: by the way, in the game, there's an ode to 564 00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:41,280 Speaker 1: Supernatural is weird? There is, Yes, there is um but yeah, I, 565 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:46,320 Speaker 1: as I told you, kind of like perhaps very very nerdly. 566 00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:48,920 Speaker 1: It's like, it's been fun to watch something that I've 567 00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,800 Speaker 1: loved and to see it adapted so well and to 568 00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:53,920 Speaker 1: have these kind of new things in it where I'm like, oh, 569 00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:57,200 Speaker 1: I'm really loving, like I said, these cold opens, I'm 570 00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,240 Speaker 1: loving the changes that they did. The acting is amazing, 571 00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:03,560 Speaker 1: the teen reason amazing thing, the clickers so good, so good, 572 00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:10,719 Speaker 1: so good. Yes, So I can't. I can't emphasize this enough. 573 00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:16,320 Speaker 1: We are not sponsored by them, just to clarify once again, 574 00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:20,160 Speaker 1: But it doesn't mean that we don't love it, and 575 00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:22,640 Speaker 1: it doesn't mean we'll ever stop talking about it, because 576 00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:25,400 Speaker 1: Annie will never stop. You can't make it. I can't, 577 00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,440 Speaker 1: I can't stop. I have so many thoughts, and I 578 00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,360 Speaker 1: think that the next one's I'm so excited.
