Vecna Ale's 179 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 2: powers are kind of like not working because of some 180 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 2: kind of like frequency or power inhibitor or thing that 181 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:58,559 Speaker 2: they're hop In her calling her kryptonite. But that's fine 182 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 2: because Hopper like kills fifty people in the course of 183 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 2: the two episodes. He's just like gunning down. He guns 184 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,200 Speaker 2: down so many people. In this episode, he's very comes out. 185 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 3: About being put in the goo lags for sure. 186 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,359 Speaker 2: He's very very upset. 187 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 4: Doctor K is there. 188 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 2: Doctor K captures him for a second, but they figure 189 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 2: that all out and Uh eleven is basically incapacitated, and 190 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 2: Hopper goes to the room where they believe Vecna is. 191 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 2: It's behind this big metal door and he opens it 192 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:38,079 Speaker 2: up and he's like, Okay, Eleven, you're gonna get out 193 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 2: of here. Head that way. I'm going to go in 194 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 2: there and deal with this. And she touches like she's like, 195 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,679 Speaker 2: what do you have inside your jacket? And you look 196 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 2: in there and he's got like a true suicide vest. Yes, 197 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 2: and he is ready to go in there and suicide 198 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 2: vest himself while thinking about his. 199 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 4: Daughter who died. 200 00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 2: But it turns out that's completely unnecessary because it's not 201 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 2: Vecna in there. And I think one of the most 202 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 2: satisfying yes, like Easter Egg Loop closes of the series. 203 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,200 Speaker 2: This is from like season two. 204 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 4: Right where they talk season three. 205 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, season two or three. I mean, it's not Vecna 206 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 2: in there. 207 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 4: It's eight eleven, sister number eight h chugging. 208 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 5: Just guys, I told you it would come back, and 209 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 5: I have to say it has come back. 210 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:33,239 Speaker 3: I love this plotline. 211 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,439 Speaker 5: I was very excited to see this, and the lost 212 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 5: threads of the episode essentially pull us back into the 213 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 5: mind scape where we learn that how Max has been 214 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:49,319 Speaker 5: surviving is it's like an exception. It's really interesting essentially, 215 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 5: as we know, Vecna's built a kind of physical mind 216 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:58,079 Speaker 5: palace within the upside down that feels appealing to kids 217 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 5: like Holly, to kids like Derek. Is this kind of 218 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 5: beautiful house, but we know that the kids are ultimately 219 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 5: dying in their Max has not died because Max has 220 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 5: found a cave which Vecna is too scared to go into. 221 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 5: It's a memory he doesn't want to return to. And 222 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:17,840 Speaker 5: Max is obviously going to be our. 223 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,959 Speaker 3: Big, badass heroes here. 224 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 5: And we see that while Holly is terrified, Max is 225 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 5: like fucking ready and something is waking up above them. 226 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 5: We don't know what it is, but something is changing. 227 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,200 Speaker 5: There is this strange kind of almost a shiver in 228 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 5: the world. And then we go back up to the 229 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 5: top and we see what has changed. 230 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,719 Speaker 2: So at the macv The walls between like Hawkins and 231 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 2: the upside Down are super super thin now, so demogorgans 232 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:51,319 Speaker 2: are like pouring out of mortals. They're taking on the soldiers. 233 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 2: It's a Seesaw battle in it. You feel like the 234 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 2: soldiers actually might fight them off, especially when they come 235 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 2: out with the flamethrowers and they start burning the demo organs. 236 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 2: And Will, who is his connection to these upside down 237 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 2: creatures now, is so strong that he feels like he's 238 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 2: burning when the demo Gorgans are burning. And then just 239 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 2: when it seems like, oh, maybe the human's got this, 240 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 2: Vecna shows up that it looks very muscular and viny. 241 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 3: Now I know everyone was cracking me up. He looked 242 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 3: like his waist is snatched, like he was like a 243 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 3: drag queen, like compared to the Fast Season. Now he's 244 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 3: like fabulous. 245 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 2: He shows up and he kills a guy by like 246 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 2: shoving his little roots through the back of his head. 247 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 4: It's very gross. 248 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 2: And then he picks up Will and he's like Will 249 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 2: and it basically says like I want to thank you 250 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 2: because when I broke you, I realized like how easy 251 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 2: it is to break kids. They're so weak, and that's 252 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 2: the key. I hope this is the key to my 253 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 2: whole plan now to target the kids because the kids 254 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 2: are so fucking weak. And meanwhile, the Demo Gordons are 255 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 2: like leading off the ca kids, and so Vecna's like, okay, 256 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 2: well that's why I'm doing this and it's all thanks 257 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 2: to you, and then he goes off, follows the Demo 258 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 2: Gorgans away, and the Demo Gorgans are in the process 259 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 2: of like just being about to kill all of Will's friends, Lucas, everybody, 260 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 2: like the people in the tunnels, like it's just about 261 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 2: to be a fucking slaughter. And then Will, like Neo 262 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 2: and the Matrix realizes upon reflecting on the words that 263 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 2: Robin shared with him when they had their little talk 264 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 2: about the fact that they're both gay. 265 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 3: And also he's like basically an antenna and that was. 266 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 5: Yes. 267 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 2: He realizes that actually, like Mike was right, there is 268 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 2: a connection with the Demo Gorgans and I can actually 269 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 2: control them. And he freezes the Demo Gorgans in mid air, 270 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 2: snapping their necks and is standing there with his eyes 271 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 2: rolled back, looking super super powerful and terrifying, and that 272 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 2: is the end of the Mirama finale of Stranger Things, 273 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 2: the final season. Let's take a quick break and bring. 274 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 4: In Joel, super producer Joel. 275 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 2: And talk about these episodes. All right, Welcome to the episode, Joel. 276 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 3: Joelle, it makes sense. It makes sense. 277 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 2: So many things to talk about in these episodes, so 278 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 2: many like things that I loved that I didn't we 279 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 2: didn't even talk about in the recap, such as Eleven's 280 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 2: idea that the soldier whose name I forget must know 281 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 2: what the wall is because he peede on it. 282 00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, she logic. 283 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,680 Speaker 5: She still has not been taught how to exist in 284 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:09,719 Speaker 5: like the real human world outside of the institution. 285 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,200 Speaker 3: And I blame that solely on Hopa. I got problems 286 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 3: with this kid logic. 287 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:18,440 Speaker 2: But Joelle, your thoughts on these two episodes and then 288 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:19,400 Speaker 2: the season thus far. 289 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, the first two episodes were a slog for me, 290 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 1: real difficult to get through. I was literally got three 291 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 1: and four because I was like, here we are, We're 292 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 1: in it. Stuff is happening. I'm liking the new Kids 293 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 1: quite a lot. I'm not as on the Derek fanboard 294 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,919 Speaker 1: as some other people are. I still, you know, he's okay, 295 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,919 Speaker 1: Derek's fine. I like Holly, though, I like Little Sister. 296 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 1: I love her outfit to explore the woods one hundred percent. 297 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 1: You aced it girls so cute, love your color theory, 298 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 1: and I like her, like her connection to D and 299 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,400 Speaker 1: D and like being a new like sort of lover 300 00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,160 Speaker 1: of it and kind of learning about it. I think 301 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,720 Speaker 1: that's really cute. I thought the action and these sequences 302 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,359 Speaker 1: were great. I was a little nervous about them splitting 303 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 1: everybody up at first, uh, because I think it works 304 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:12,399 Speaker 1: better when our main group of kids is together. But 305 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 1: it's been working out, okay, Like we're learning a little 306 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 1: bit about eleven. All right, I'll take it. My boys 307 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 1: are not happy together right now, Steve and Dustin, and 308 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,400 Speaker 1: I need them to figure it out. Ace. Actually, I'm 309 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 1: not okay with them not being good together. 310 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 2: Well, sad, Can I just say one thing very quickly, Dustin? 311 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,320 Speaker 2: Why is Dustin so fucking mean this season? 312 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 1: Right? Okay? 313 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 2: Like, Like I get that he's obviously he's having a 314 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 2: hard time in the wake of Eddie's death, and I 315 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:46,640 Speaker 2: get that, but it constantly manifesting is like being an 316 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 2: asshole to his friends. 317 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:50,400 Speaker 4: It's like, Dustin. 318 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 1: Is it because he's sure he everybody else drew up 319 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,400 Speaker 1: and not really tall and Dustin. 320 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 3: Okay, I am sure, I'm angry, so fair. 321 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 5: No, I think this is a good read, guys, because 322 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,119 Speaker 5: I do think it's one of the weak aspects of 323 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 5: the two chunks. 324 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:16,120 Speaker 3: That we've gotten so far. 325 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,200 Speaker 5: I do think they're leaning a little bit more into 326 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 5: things people don't want. People want Dustin and Steve to 327 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 5: be friends. Four episodes is enough time for them to 328 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,159 Speaker 5: wrap it up and come back together. I don't want 329 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,879 Speaker 5: to see Steve have to you know, kill himself to 330 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 5: save Dustin, to prove that he's, you know, a good friend. 331 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 5: I also think that they're trying to do something around 332 00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 5: the nuance of when you are bullied, you can. 333 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,679 Speaker 3: Become a bully, or you can become cruel, or you can. 334 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 5: Become in But the show does not have enough time 335 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 5: for those kind of plot points. 336 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:44,439 Speaker 3: Guys. 337 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,399 Speaker 5: There is not enough nuance and juice there. Get to 338 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 5: the fights, get to Dustin doing more cool maths and 339 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 5: being a genius. That was always a great plot point 340 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:56,119 Speaker 5: him in it. Steve was so funny together as himbos Joelle. 341 00:19:56,200 --> 00:20:00,399 Speaker 5: Other big takeaways from the first four episodes. 342 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:05,680 Speaker 1: Uh Robin a top tier character. I'm really loving her. 343 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 1: I will say. I was concerned about the queerness of 344 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: it all. You know, we've had little hints in the 345 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 1: past and we were there. It felt like they were like, 346 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:14,960 Speaker 1: we're not gonna really go there, but we'll just we'll 347 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,360 Speaker 1: just queer bait you a little bit. This season they said, 348 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:18,080 Speaker 1: no queer baiting. 349 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,359 Speaker 3: We're all full full till it's it's. 350 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 1: Gay as hell, and the gabies are uniting to figure 351 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 1: out their shit and like lesbian support. I want to 352 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,119 Speaker 1: troll mom, I said it, but it's kind of getting me. Guys, 353 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,399 Speaker 1: I'm kind of really feeling the vibes of being like, 354 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 1: it's not about your because because accurately your first crush, 355 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,680 Speaker 1: no matter your orientation, it feels like, oh, it's a 356 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,639 Speaker 1: lot about them, has nothing to do with them. It's 357 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 1: all about you discovering a lot about yourself. And I 358 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 1: was like, oh, that's not really a coming out story. 359 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 1: We get a lot of we get a lot of 360 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,360 Speaker 1: like my parents don't understand me. We get a lot 361 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,719 Speaker 1: of like society doesn't enjoy me, but we don't get 362 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 1: a lot of Hey, like that is still your friend, 363 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 1: but it's not really about him. This is about you, 364 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,680 Speaker 1: like center on yourself, your power culture. Then I was like, oh, man, 365 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:00,920 Speaker 1: I like Will that much, but this story is bringing 366 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 1: me around on him. That's kind of got me excited 367 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 1: for where they're going to go from here. 368 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 5: I really like the elder queer conversation because I don't 369 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,199 Speaker 5: think we get that a lot. I don't think we 370 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,399 Speaker 5: get a lot of, like, especially in genre stories, space 371 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,640 Speaker 5: for queer kids to be like kind to each other 372 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:19,640 Speaker 5: or help each other. 373 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:21,919 Speaker 3: So I love that also, was it just me? 374 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 5: I feel like in episode four they were absolutely like 375 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 5: making it seem like there was a thing between Mike 376 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 5: and Will, like when that conversations kind of crush on Mike, yes, 377 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,160 Speaker 5: for a long time. But what I'm saying is in 378 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 5: that moment when Mike kind of starts to have ideas 379 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 5: about Will's powers, there's this awkward kind of interplay and 380 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,960 Speaker 5: Will even like Mike like touches his shoulder and Will 381 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:48,200 Speaker 5: kind of moves away. 382 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,160 Speaker 3: And I just I think they might actually go there. 383 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 3: I don't think I think. 384 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 1: You might get at most a confession of I have 385 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 1: liked you, and he'll be like, that's so great, bro, 386 00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 1: We're still friends. 387 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 4: They kind at the end. 388 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 5: Of like they kind of did that end of season three, 389 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 5: Season four, like have this. I think that at least 390 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:13,200 Speaker 5: I think that's gonna be an attempted kiss. That's why 391 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,640 Speaker 5: I think, because I saw I saw a little maybe 392 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 5: at the end of the world, you know, between them, 393 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:21,359 Speaker 5: a little flirtation. 394 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 1: I'm here, Yes, I'm just finally. I'm glad Max is back. 395 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:27,639 Speaker 4: We needed our girl. 396 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 1: Uh really elevates this cast quite a lot, and she 397 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 1: brings interesting angle into the story. I think, like Holly 398 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 1: being in this sort of like VECNA bubble, Uh and 399 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 1: then Max were bursting that bubble. I think it makes 400 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 1: the world like really interesting. And it also because the 401 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 1: end episode four with like, hey, the military VECNA not 402 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 1: all aligned. We thought that they had VECNA. They don't. 403 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 1: I love fighting two big bads on two separate fronts. 404 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 1: Going into this last we have two more batches of episodes. 405 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 1: I think it gives us a lot to go on. 406 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: I don't know what's gonna happen next. I have like 407 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 1: almost zero predictions. It's so open. 408 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 5: This is actually something that me and Jason talked about 409 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,679 Speaker 5: that I think is a big compliment. I feel like 410 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 5: generally this show is relatively predictable because it's taking from 411 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,160 Speaker 5: a lot of stuff that we love, and that's part 412 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,160 Speaker 5: of the nostalgia. It's part of what makes it work 413 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,159 Speaker 5: is the familiarity. But they are blowing that up this season, 414 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 5: and I do respect that because I too. 415 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 3: Do not know where this is going to go. I 416 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 3: do have some questions for. 417 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:34,120 Speaker 5: You, guys, Joelle, where are we going with what Vecna wants? 418 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 5: Like he's gonna kill these kids, He's gonna connect to 419 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:37,920 Speaker 5: the upside down, But what does he want? 420 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,480 Speaker 3: That's the big question here. Okay, what do you think 421 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:40,920 Speaker 3: he wants? 422 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 1: Vegna has gone full mustache twirly. I'm not sure how 423 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 1: I felt. I would actually from the writers talk to 424 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 1: me about how we feel about Vecna's big speech, and 425 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,480 Speaker 1: they were like, kids are so vulnerable and so easy 426 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 1: to corrupt, and you were the easiest. And I was like, Okay, 427 00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:58,240 Speaker 1: I get it. 428 00:23:58,320 --> 00:23:58,920 Speaker 3: He's bad. 429 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:01,879 Speaker 1: Did it feel like overkilled you? Or did it it 430 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:02,719 Speaker 1: did that work? 431 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 2: I mean it felt like it was a little overkill 432 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 2: in the sense that it's so clearly setting up the 433 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:16,119 Speaker 2: show to CounterPunch. 434 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:16,680 Speaker 4: The show is. 435 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:20,080 Speaker 2: In the show's entire thesis is that kids are strong, 436 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 2: and that found family is incredible and vibrant, and kids 437 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 2: are resilient and powerful, and so it felt a little 438 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,200 Speaker 2: overkill in the sense that it's so clearly just a 439 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,640 Speaker 2: set up the show to like. 440 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 4: Dunk on him. But I also kind of liked it 441 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:38,919 Speaker 4: because it's not we're not. 442 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 2: It was the first real explanation from Vecna about like 443 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:48,400 Speaker 2: what he's doing, and I think we need more. I'm 444 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 2: hoping that in this back half the back five, we 445 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 2: will get more Vecna monologues. 446 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, let me ask you about that. Actually, I think 447 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 5: you make a great point, Joelle. The thing I'm interested 448 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 5: in is that the truth of like Vector's experience or 449 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 5: is that really like Vector saying that shit to fuck 450 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:11,640 Speaker 5: with will, because that's obviously what the people at. 451 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,439 Speaker 3: Hawkins's Lab thought about kids, you know that. 452 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 5: I think they're trying to do some kind of trauma 453 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 5: cycle here because he was like tortured and put into 454 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 5: that space by the government, and I wonder if they're 455 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 5: doing some kind of thing where he doesn't really feel 456 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 5: that way, or there is gonna be more of a 457 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 5: complexity to it, because I think his interest in the 458 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:33,919 Speaker 5: kids and where he puts them, and the way that 459 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 5: someone like Holly gets put in that beautiful house that 460 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,760 Speaker 5: isn't scary and he wants to lure her in, but 461 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 5: then someone like Will just gets used as like a 462 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:45,159 Speaker 5: scary human battery. I just think there's some really interesting 463 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 5: complexities and layers there that we. 464 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 3: Could get into. 465 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 5: But the monologue personally didn't work for me just because 466 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,679 Speaker 5: of this. Really, Like Jason said, I do think that 467 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,359 Speaker 5: the point is so that Will can then be like 468 00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 5: I am strong, and that goes back to that predictability. 469 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:04,480 Speaker 5: It doesn't necessarily feel like I love a monologue where 470 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 5: a villain just gives away his whole plan because he 471 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,920 Speaker 5: thinks it's such a good plan. You know, Vecna didn't 472 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 5: have that confidence here. 473 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:13,920 Speaker 3: Vekna's plan. 474 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 5: We still don't know what it is, and I still 475 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,919 Speaker 5: don't really believe in any way, shape or form that 476 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 5: the government is collecting the kids or saving the kids 477 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 5: for any kind of good reason. I think they're trying 478 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:27,399 Speaker 5: to once again work out how to militarize these kids 479 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,879 Speaker 5: against Vekna. So I'm very interested to see if the 480 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 5: finale is kind of like a anti military, anti VECNA 481 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 5: kind of free for all, and then it's about Hawkins 482 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 5: taking back Hawkins as like a community. I don't know 483 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 5: I'm very interested because the final episode is gonna show. 484 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 3: The finale will show on. 485 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,960 Speaker 5: The big screen on December thirty first and January first, 486 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,479 Speaker 5: and they're showing it at like five hundred cinemas. Some 487 00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 5: are doing free screening, some are not. That's got to 488 00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:01,719 Speaker 5: be a crazy episode because I was watching the episode 489 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 5: last night, episode four, and even though it is a 490 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:07,040 Speaker 5: great lots of great action sequences, I watch it on 491 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,640 Speaker 5: my projector and it definitely looks bad if you watch 492 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:10,200 Speaker 5: it on your TV. 493 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 3: The projector's fun because. 494 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 5: Big, and it feels embracing and you're in the action, 495 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:20,760 Speaker 5: but it feels like you're also seeing too much that 496 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:23,199 Speaker 5: they don't want you to see, of the kind of 497 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:27,240 Speaker 5: stuff that isn't maybe as clean or is it, you know, 498 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,520 Speaker 5: some of the little bits and bobs that they want 499 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,679 Speaker 5: to hide in the action. I want to know what 500 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 5: that finale looks like and whether it's gonna hurt or 501 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,400 Speaker 5: help it to be in the movie theaters. I will 502 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 5: be there on January first because they're doing a free 503 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,920 Speaker 5: screening at the Egyptian. I'm taking a couple of friends 504 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,920 Speaker 5: of mine who loved the show, but like, I don't 505 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 5: know if it's gonna hurt it or help it, Like, 506 00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 5: do you guys have any feeling on that. 507 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 1: I think it will matter because it's the finale and 508 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:52,840 Speaker 1: so there's nowhere to go. 509 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:53,880 Speaker 3: I think it's just. 510 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,640 Speaker 1: An opportunity to sort of if you've been a lifelong fan, 511 00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,120 Speaker 1: to sort of like lifelong, if you've embraced the show 512 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 1: songs it's been on, you can go with your friends 513 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,200 Speaker 1: and sort of watch and conclusion. I think for Vecna's 514 00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 1: like big, it'll be interesting because like what we learn 515 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,720 Speaker 1: in episode four is like, Okay, he's basically created a 516 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 1: circle in the upside down that's impenetrable by either military 517 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,440 Speaker 1: or you know, Eleven's powers. So you can't stab it, 518 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,960 Speaker 1: you can't mind wipe it away. It's solid. We know 519 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:27,879 Speaker 1: that in some way by the canyon, something has happened 520 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,800 Speaker 1: there that he's not approaching. We know you can kind 521 00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,359 Speaker 1: of live in his memory. Yeah, and we know you 522 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:37,400 Speaker 1: kind of live inside of his memories. I'm wondering if 523 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 1: you sort of making me upside down a physical memory 524 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,960 Speaker 1: palace that he can sort of because he can also 525 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 1: change his body, like when he appears to Holly, he's 526 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:51,440 Speaker 1: fully formed as Henry. I think he's trying to create 527 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:52,880 Speaker 1: an all world. At least that would be the most 528 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:54,719 Speaker 1: interesting thing to me, because I'm not really interested in 529 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 1: like destruction. For destruction's sake, it dries up. But you 530 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,720 Speaker 1: all screwed up my world and stole my childhood. So 531 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 1: I'm bringing a bunch of children into a protected space 532 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 1: where I can relive not just my childhood, but it's 533 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,160 Speaker 1: in a pristine sort of way, and in a way 534 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,400 Speaker 1: that I wish it had been. That to me is 535 00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:18,000 Speaker 1: a fascin interesting Yeah, exactly exactly, And I think too, 536 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 1: I'm also interested in Max makes a big deal about 537 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 1: the music and physical touch being the thing that was 538 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 1: going to be able to bring her back to the 539 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 1: real world, And the first thing we see Henry give 540 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 1: Holly is a tape that she immediately starts playing and 541 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:34,560 Speaker 1: connects to you. And I'm wondering if music can be 542 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:36,840 Speaker 1: both a savior and an anchor to this world in 543 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:40,040 Speaker 1: a way that maybe will allow her not to escape. 544 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:44,120 Speaker 1: I'm skeptical of Holly's spy abilities. She's doing good so far, 545 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 1: but can you send her back into that house with. 546 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:47,960 Speaker 4: All of this knowledge? 547 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 1: Can we talk about all of the different game plans 548 00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:51,800 Speaker 1: that were set up, and we had a lot of. 549 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:56,320 Speaker 2: We got to talk about because these are the most 550 00:29:56,360 --> 00:30:01,040 Speaker 2: cock they're cock may me cock ma fuck plants. I 551 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 2: mean the first one in episode three where it's like, Okay, 552 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:12,960 Speaker 2: we're gonna go to the Turnbo farm, We're gonna drug everyone, 553 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 2: and then we're gonna kidnap the kids. And Joyce is 554 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 2: like straight up like, yes, this is a kidnapping, but 555 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 2: hear me. 556 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:28,760 Speaker 7: Out Erica into Dexter, They're like, take us syringe if 557 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 7: they don't eat the pie. 558 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:33,680 Speaker 3: Okay. 559 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 5: I do love Erica, though Erica in the next America 560 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 5: PepsiCo dude, Erica is like when she's so ready. 561 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 6: She said, Tina, I told you to eat that pie 562 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:50,800 Speaker 6: ohever and then she gives out the injection, like insane plan, 563 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,560 Speaker 6: especially because I feel like the fact that Hawkins is 564 00:30:54,680 --> 00:31:00,480 Speaker 6: under military occupation means that you could go to the 565 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 6: Tombous and go, hey, guys, we need Derek. 566 00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:05,719 Speaker 3: There's some fucked up shit going on.

Thank god the 574 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:33,840 Speaker 2: tunnels run in the way they do, figuring out, sending 575 00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:37,840 Speaker 2: Derek in as like an inside agent to round up 576 00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:42,360 Speaker 2: all the mister What's it contacts into one place, break 577 00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:48,000 Speaker 2: in through the bottom of the bathroom, and then quietly 578 00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:53,959 Speaker 2: whisk away all the what's it kids out of the tunnels. Crazily, 579 00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,400 Speaker 2: this does not work because of a snitch. We can 580 00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:58,640 Speaker 2: talk about that if. 581 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:03,280 Speaker 3: You want this plan as well. 582 00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:04,560 Speaker 4: I'm like, what are we doing? 583 00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:08,200 Speaker 3: Guess okay, lazy, I got as.

I 590 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:34,080 Speaker 3: will say. 591 00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:38,000 Speaker 5: Though that super producer Ian did have a good idea 592 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:41,120 Speaker 5: of what Veckner's plan could be, which is what if 593 00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:45,000 Speaker 5: he is merging dimension x slash the upside Down with 594 00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,440 Speaker 5: the real world because in season four he needed to 595 00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:50,760 Speaker 5: kill four people to open the four portals. So if 596 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:54,040 Speaker 5: he keeps killing people, will he just open up essentially 597 00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,920 Speaker 5: a point where Hawkins and the Upside Down becomes the 598 00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:59,840 Speaker 5: same and becomes one impossible? 599 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,480 Speaker 3: I think is really interesting, Yeah, and. 600 00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 1: Would be interesting overall to like, again, what is his 601 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,720 Speaker 1: plan to do with Hawkins? Do you want to be 602 00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 1: mare of it? 603 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:08,600 Speaker 5: Right? 604 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:12,400 Speaker 1: Are we are we nineteen sixty six?

That's very joking, right, 607 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,800 Speaker 1: I'm really curious to see how that works out. I 608 00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,320 Speaker 1: think for plans on this show, particularly this one, like 609 00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:28,320 Speaker 1: to give the smallest bit of grace. These are people 610 00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,880 Speaker 1: from Indiana with two hours to figure out how we're 611 00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:33,960 Speaker 1: going to try to save some kids' lives, and we're 612 00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,400 Speaker 1: not going to convince the wealthy Republicans or the military 613 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:40,000 Speaker 1: to adjust what they're doing to go along with us. 614 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:42,800 Speaker 1: So is it bananas?

She does, you know, in 671 00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:37,120 Speaker 2: front of the bullet riddled bodies of like a dozen 672 00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:42,440 Speaker 2: military people and creepy crawley tentacles and stuff, She's just like, 673 00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:44,839 Speaker 2: now I'm gonna monologue my entire evil plan. 674 00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:49,600 Speaker 4: What is clearly she was involved. 675 00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:54,800 Speaker 2: I think in the original experiment she must have, because 676 00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:57,879 Speaker 2: why else would Eleven feel so. 677 00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:01,000 Speaker 4: Strongly about her? What is her deal? 678 00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:04,480 Speaker 2: Like? What is what is she trying to do down there? 679 00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:06,600 Speaker 2: And what are they trying to do with eight? 680 00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:10,200 Speaker 5: I think, well, I think they're rounding up all the kids, 681 00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:12,120 Speaker 5: and I think they're rounding up anyone who can lead 682 00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:13,240 Speaker 5: them to eleven. 683 00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:16,240 Speaker 3: And she essentially eleven. 684 00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:18,759 Speaker 5: That was the closest Eleven's ever been to escaping was 685 00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:23,680 Speaker 5: when she basically found her own family. So I think 686 00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:28,239 Speaker 5: that yes, she's gonna be representing the military industrial complex 687 00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:31,120 Speaker 5: their plans. But I do think if we're looking at 688 00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:34,319 Speaker 5: Vekner's history, and as many of you have pointed out, 689 00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:36,799 Speaker 5: including super producer Aaron, who will probably come on and 690 00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:38,440 Speaker 5: talk about this as we cover the rest of the 691 00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:41,680 Speaker 5: season when it drops, but this notion of how this 692 00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:45,080 Speaker 5: connects to the Broadway play that recently came out, which 693 00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:49,440 Speaker 5: has been one a massive success, but two is heavily 694 00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:53,680 Speaker 5: about Vekna and Henry and Henry's childhood, and I think 695 00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:55,680 Speaker 5: that she is going to be a connection to that. 696 00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:58,240 Speaker 5: When Eleven says to her, I've seen what you did. 697 00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:01,760 Speaker 5: I've seen what you've done, I think that Eleven knows 698 00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,240 Speaker 5: that she was involved with it. And I also think 699 00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:06,040 Speaker 5: that the caves are. 700 00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:06,279 Speaker 3: Going to be. 701 00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:11,360 Speaker 5: My feeling is wherever doctor k did the first experiments 702 00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:14,440 Speaker 5: on Vecna or something. That's kind of my feeling is 703 00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:16,920 Speaker 5: like before it was official, it was kind of this 704 00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:19,719 Speaker 5: nightmarish space. Though I will tell you the reason the 705 00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:22,120 Speaker 5: cave is really there is because it's to give Max 706 00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:25,080 Speaker 5: a Lost Boys inspired hangout that's directly. 707 00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:25,720 Speaker 3: The Caves from Lost Boys. 708 00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:28,440 Speaker 5: But I think that the notion of why Vecna won't 709 00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:33,080 Speaker 5: go there is because they there is this connection to 710 00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:37,600 Speaker 5: doctor k and she needs Eleven. But why that's the 711 00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:39,480 Speaker 5: biggest thing. She keeps saying she needs the girl, she 712 00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:42,560 Speaker 5: needs Eleven. But what is it about eleven that is 713 00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,920 Speaker 5: so much more powerful? What is it about eleven? Does 714 00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:48,399 Speaker 5: she think Eleven can be that connection between the two 715 00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:52,719 Speaker 5: worlds because Eleven has connections on the upside down and 716 00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:55,200 Speaker 5: in the real world. I don't know, but I think 717 00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:57,080 Speaker 5: it's clear she's going to be our true villain. 718 00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:02,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, interesting, I think I did you agree? I think 719 00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:06,200 Speaker 1: she's the worst doctor Brent. I think a more dedicated 720 00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:09,720 Speaker 1: has been here from the very first, Like her knowledge 721 00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:13,120 Speaker 1: on the creature was so much more intense than we've 722 00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:14,160 Speaker 1: seen for a while. 723 00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:15,320 Speaker 3: She knows. 724 00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:17,879 Speaker 1: That part too. 725 00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:23,400 Speaker 2: We're not going to be this right where she's Vecna's mom. 726 00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:24,840 Speaker 3: So I was thinking about that. 727 00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,600 Speaker 1: So we have seen Henry's mom before, played by a 728 00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:32,080 Speaker 1: different actress, but there is some years between when we 729 00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:35,840 Speaker 1: saw her and now. She did not appear to be 730 00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:40,040 Speaker 1: military in the flashback we saw, so I'm hoping that's 731 00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:43,200 Speaker 1: not the case. Also, it's really annoying when like it's 732 00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:45,759 Speaker 1: the evil mom we've seen it, and if you're not 733 00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:47,799 Speaker 1: going to play into it early enough, like you're seeing 734 00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:49,680 Speaker 1: it as it was at the end, really weak saw. 735 00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:52,920 Speaker 1: So I'm really hoping it's not that. What I'm hoping 736 00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:55,960 Speaker 1: is like we we haven't seen a lot of women 737 00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:58,920 Speaker 1: in this space as would have been the time Sara, 738 00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:01,799 Speaker 1: not a lot of women in the military, especially not 739 00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:05,120 Speaker 1: in leadership positions as over her to Gardner as much 740 00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:08,800 Speaker 1: respect and fear at this time, at her advanced age, 741 00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:11,760 Speaker 1: means she's been kicking ass for a long long time. 742 00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:17,160 Speaker 1: I wonder if she didn't give up. I don't want 743 00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:18,880 Speaker 1: Vecna to be her kid. I wouldn't mind if she 744 00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:20,920 Speaker 1: had given up a kid to the program at some 745 00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:22,799 Speaker 1: point to be like, yeah, tests on my kid, Like 746 00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:24,880 Speaker 1: this is how dedicated I am to the cause. 747 00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:28,040 Speaker 3: That's interesting, Actually, I like that question. 748 00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:30,400 Speaker 2: Why doesn't Vecna kill Will. 749 00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:33,360 Speaker 4: For something? 750 00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:35,560 Speaker 1: You were the first? 751 00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:38,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, he needs him for something. 752 00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:39,200 Speaker 3: Here's my baby. 753 00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:46,520 Speaker 2: What if Vecna he wants his childhood back and he 754 00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:50,239 Speaker 2: wants friends. He's getting a bunch of kids together that 755 00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:54,600 Speaker 2: he can be friends with in his perfect little memory palace. 756 00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:57,480 Speaker 2: But somebody's got to be Vecna. So he's gonna make 757 00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:01,080 Speaker 2: Will be Vecna. Yes, and Will is going to be 758 00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:04,120 Speaker 2: the evil side of him, and he can separate all 759 00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:08,440 Speaker 2: the good pre Vecna Henry parts of him to be 760 00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:12,520 Speaker 2: the parts that live in the memory. 761 00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:16,160 Speaker 5: I think one thousand percent think that that is actually 762 00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:21,840 Speaker 5: very correct Jason, because my understanding of the conflicts within 763 00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:25,040 Speaker 5: the exponential law of the books and the plays and 764 00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:29,600 Speaker 5: everything is that there was an internal battle inside Henry 765 00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:32,000 Speaker 5: between good and evil, and he wanted to not go 766 00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:34,680 Speaker 5: to dimension X and not become a monster. And I 767 00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:37,719 Speaker 5: think the idea that he is essentially going to like 768 00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:41,080 Speaker 5: Majus himself, like Adam Warlock did, where there is a 769 00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:43,239 Speaker 5: separation between the evil and the good and he puts 770 00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:45,920 Speaker 5: all of the evil into Will, I think is very interesting. 771 00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:50,319 Speaker 5: I also think that maybe that's why he needed Will 772 00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:51,719 Speaker 5: in the first place. He says, we're going to do 773 00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:54,799 Speaker 5: such beautiful things together. Maybe he needs someone who can 774 00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:58,120 Speaker 5: become the next Vekna. And because he knew Will had 775 00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:00,359 Speaker 5: these kind of similar powers to him, and he could 776 00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:03,520 Speaker 5: sense that he was able to kind of manifest them 777 00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:08,480 Speaker 5: or encourage them within him through this horrific fight. I'm 778 00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:12,000 Speaker 5: very interested how this can get wrapped up in a 779 00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:14,280 Speaker 5: satisfying way. 780 00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:16,240 Speaker 6: I just don't know if it can. 781 00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:18,600 Speaker 5: Okay, wait wait wait wait, In that case, let's have 782 00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:22,359 Speaker 5: some fun quickly, worst ending. What would the worst ending 783 00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:27,799 Speaker 5: of this, worst twist, worst ending, worst tie in, what 784 00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,040 Speaker 5: would be the worst version, and then we can it 785 00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:31,319 Speaker 5: cannot be worst in that. 786 00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:36,000 Speaker 2: For me, any kind of version of you know, the 787 00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:36,680 Speaker 2: Wizard of Oz. 788 00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:37,520 Speaker 4: It was all a dream. 789 00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:43,680 Speaker 2: Oh god, oh god, yeah, absolutely horrendous, and. 790 00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:48,000 Speaker 3: I hate that. I don't love that. 791 00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:52,799 Speaker 1: Usually I am pro kill the kids here. I think 792 00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:56,200 Speaker 1: if you start murdering off the kids, that it becomes like, 793 00:42:57,560 --> 00:43:00,399 Speaker 1: especially after we get that nice like speech from Mike 794 00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:03,799 Speaker 1: to his sister about like, you know, once once everything's done, 795 00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:06,640 Speaker 1: like the party goes somewhere else and they rest together. 796 00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:10,279 Speaker 1: But I think that's really got to be end goal. 797 00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:13,280 Speaker 1: You framed it as kids are powerful and we're frequently 798 00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:15,200 Speaker 1: getting happy endings. I think if they were to like 799 00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:17,600 Speaker 1: renig on that and suddenly be like, actually it's a 800 00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:21,279 Speaker 1: dark reality, it's gritty, I'd be like, don't know the 801 00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:23,959 Speaker 1: whole time. Please just give these kids a happy ending. 802 00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:25,880 Speaker 1: I can't stand it. What about you, Rosie, what's the 803 00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:26,759 Speaker 1: worst possible ending? 804 00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:30,239 Speaker 5: I think for me though, and sadly, I do think 805 00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:32,160 Speaker 5: this could end up being the case. I think for me, 806 00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:36,240 Speaker 5: the worst version of this is where Will suddenly becomes 807 00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:40,520 Speaker 5: the ultimate kind of final Girl character, rather than it 808 00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:44,000 Speaker 5: being a collaboration, because I think we've followed Elle and 809 00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:46,920 Speaker 5: her powers for so long, and I think that I 810 00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:50,400 Speaker 5: would I'm excited to see her and him fight together. 811 00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:52,680 Speaker 5: Please put her in a different outfit. I know that's 812 00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:54,360 Speaker 5: the Josh Broling Goonies outfit. 813 00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:55,479 Speaker 3: I have watched it. 814 00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:58,480 Speaker 5: I've seen the Goonies. I've seen the Goonies. He is 815 00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:00,560 Speaker 5: sexy in that movie. I had a crush on him. 816 00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:01,400 Speaker 3: I love the outfit. 817 00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:03,640 Speaker 5: It is not looking great on Willie Bobby Brown. Please 818 00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:05,799 Speaker 5: let her out of the outfit, but then let her 819 00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:10,759 Speaker 5: and Will like fight alongside each other, use their powers together. Like, 820 00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:14,240 Speaker 5: I want to see that inherent kind of connection because 821 00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:16,640 Speaker 5: of the upside down that they never really got to have. 822 00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:18,600 Speaker 3: I think that would be really cool. Yeah, if it 823 00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:19,520 Speaker 3: ends up being. 824 00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:21,560 Speaker 5: That, like Will saves the day kind of how it 825 00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:25,200 Speaker 5: was though, the emotional beat of that worked where everyone 826 00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:27,160 Speaker 5: got pulled back together. You thought it was going to 827 00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:30,480 Speaker 5: be the most dark, dire moment, Everyone's gonna die. Will 828 00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:33,200 Speaker 5: gets his powers. That's a huge triumphant moment.
