WEBVTT - 113: Ahsoka 0:00:08.960 --> 0:00:12.959 Hello, and welcome to another edition of Nedificent from Home, 0:00:13.320 --> 0:00:17.560 possibly indefinitely. I feel like they might have just sold 0:00:17.560 --> 0:00:21.440 our studio at this point. I don't even know who's 0:00:21.520 --> 0:00:24.400 over there. I just imagine it's a bunch of cobwebs, 0:00:24.440 --> 0:00:27.800 but like we're also maybe possibly getting mail over there. 0:00:27.960 --> 0:00:30.960 I don't know. Um My, my co host this week 0:00:31.080 --> 0:00:35.559 is our beautiful, wonderful super producer Joel Monique. Do you 0:00:35.640 --> 0:00:38.680 think is happening over at our studio? I know what's 0:00:38.720 --> 0:00:40.919 happening over there, but I sort of like the mystery 0:00:41.000 --> 0:00:45.199 that you've created. I love now that you're you're a 0:00:45.200 --> 0:00:47.519 super producer and like produced so many shows now at 0:00:47.560 --> 0:00:52.960 my heart that you have the inside more than I do. Yes, absolutely, 0:00:53.080 --> 0:00:57.440 I know who manages our unit. So I say, if 0:00:57.480 --> 0:01:02.600 you have mail coming there, it's safe, okay if you 0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:04.840 I think there was like an edible company that was 0:01:04.880 --> 0:01:06.840 going to send us edibles and so I might need 0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:09.319 to take a visit to ours. Have to run over 0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:12.520 there and just see what's up with that. Absolutely. Um. 0:01:12.560 --> 0:01:17.199 Today's guest she is a writer, a comedian. Repeat guest 0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:19.440 that was on our Doctor Who episode, one of our 0:01:19.440 --> 0:01:23.399 most listened to episodes. It's Riley Silverman, Hey, Hello, And 0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:26.360 as someone who at least unless you move studios, has 0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:29.240 been in your studio before and for multiple podcasts, I'm 0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:31.880 assuming even with all this happening, there was still a 0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:36.920 parking headache the parking lot behind the building. There is 0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:39.640 still someone saying there's no room for cars and we're 0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:41.800 not supposed to park where we've been told by every 0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:45.920 email we're supposed to park, even though we have paid 0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:49.800 parking spots for you, Riley specifically as a guest, I 0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:52.240 know it was someone should do. I feel like you 0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:56.280 could actually do a television show about that parking lot, like, 0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:59.520 oh my gosh, there'd be so much drama and stuff. 0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:03.800 Um today, Joel, do you want to tell everyone what 0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:07.320 we're talking about. We're talking about my favorite Jedi. It's 0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:13.800 a socaton. Oi'm so excited we are, and I think, 0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:16.359 you know, we've tried to attack Star Wars is such 0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:18.679 a huge franchise. You know, at the start of the year, 0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:22.080 we had like five weeks I think we did tackling 0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:24.799 different elements of Star Wars, and so for for us, 0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:29.400 it's it's so much more fun to talk about niche 0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:32.640 like character, like breaking down you know, about droids are 0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:35.040 breaking down about our favorite characters as opposed to talking 0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:38.560 about Star Wars at large. Since there's entire podcast dedicated 0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:41.320 to Lady Danny, it's a lot less research on my 0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:45.680 end about one character instead of the very broad scope. 0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:47.639 I like the broad scopes, so because we we really 0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:49.400 were able to get into like what do those things 0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:51.480 mean on sort of like both the nebulous level and 0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:54.040 like a very specific sort of analyzing of how do 0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:56.679 they improve the series and what does that mean different characters. 0:02:57.000 --> 0:02:59.520 But like to talk about Asoka, who is sort of 0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:02.639 the first you see female Jedi walking in the background 0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:04.400 of things. If you're fans of the novels, you may 0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:07.880 have come across one like in training or like running 0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:09.919 the library, do you want a lot of cool stuff? 0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:12.320 But this is the first Jedi that where we are 0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:15.200 like in their story and she become such a fan 0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:19.240 favorite and like much like Harley Queen's journey from animated 0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:23.120 character to live action to comic books and source spilling out, 0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:25.359 so because had a very similar journey and so to 0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:30.119 sort of see her blossom into both an older figure 0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:32.640 having the revisit of her like late teen years in 0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:36.960 the New Clone Wars season. There's just there's so much 0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:39.440 to like, love and see about her timeline and there's 0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:41.720 still so much to go and because of Star Wars, 0:03:41.760 --> 0:03:44.280 and they just get to pop in that timeline whenever. 0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:47.400 What she means to the series overall could change in 0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:50.080 twenty years and it could be a huge impact. And 0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:51.840 it's one of the reasons I love her. I feel 0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:54.240 like she was created for me. I got into Star 0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:57.960 Wars during the Clone Wars animated series. I've watched it before, 0:03:58.000 --> 0:03:59.880 but that's when I fell in love and a Soco 0:03:59.920 --> 0:04:02.440 was sort of the person who guided me through that series. 0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:08.320 I love her. But well, speaking as you're clearly geeking now, 0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:13.040 I'm gonna transition. You know, our historically great transitions on 0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:15.600 this we just call them out like we see that. 0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:20.320 Um uh. Every week we start with what we're geeking 0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:22.359 out about. And Riley, I would love to start with you. 0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:25.760 Is there anything that you're super into right now? Um? 0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:28.280 I mean it's with the Quarantine world. It feels like 0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:30.279 such a weird time to get out abou stuff because 0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:32.400 you're keeping out about things that like may have aired 0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:35.960 like years and years ago. You're like refinding old things. 0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:38.279 But what I've been doing is So I I have 0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:41.320 temporarily relocated to Ohio because I was helping my mom 0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:43.760 move um and I had to drive to do that, 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:45.680 so I actually packed up my work stuff and came 0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:47.279 out here, and I've been working out of Ohio and 0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:51.360 still kind of pretty quarantined out here. But my girlfriend 0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:55.200 has never seen most of the Marvel Cinematic movies, so 0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:58.320 we have actually been working our way through them together, 0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:00.960 which is really fun to do. So that's been a 0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:04.000 huge thing. And then also she had never seen except 0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:06.040 for I think Jurassic World, she had never seen any 0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:08.640 of Durassic Park movies, and we went and saw Jaws 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:10.680 and Jurassic Park as a double feature at at a 0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:14.039 drive in theater. And so now we're slowly working away 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:15.720 through Durrassic Park movies too. So it's been a lot 0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:18.240 of like binging of like movie franchises that she missed 0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:20.080 out on at certain points in her life. So I'm 0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:25.520 envious of your quarantine because that sounds amazing. So did you, um, 0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:28.440 are you watching it the m c U how it 0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:32.560 was released? Yeah, I think at smart here to do 0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:34.120 it that way. And also I kind of let her 0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:36.919 pick like the same thing, like she actually very apropoe 0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:40.760 for today's discussion. She chose to get into Star Wars 0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:44.320 last fall because she had only only had ever seen 0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:46.200 like I think, like Phantom Menace when she worked in 0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:50.800 a movie theater and we went through Galaxy's Edge last 0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:56.520 September August September UM at Disneyland, and I freaked out 0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:58.640 because it's like my main one of my main like 0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:01.400 lifetime fandoms, and it was amazing to finally see it 0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:04.839 in person like that. And she thought it was fun, 0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:06.920 but didn't have the same quite connection that I did 0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:09.000 with it. So then she made the decision that she 0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:12.359 wanted to go through Star Wars herself and like watch everything, 0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:14.880 and one of the most important aspects of doing that, 0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:18.479 I think was letting her make her own journey with it. 0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:22.200 So I I never said, like, you have to watch 0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:24.599 the movies in this order and enjoy it in this way, 0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:29.080 and she like researched it herself and decided which way 0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:31.080 she went, like she asked me for my advice, but 0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:34.599 um ultimately chose to do it her own way. And 0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:36.880 it was so funny because then I remember like going 0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:40.440 online and I was like tweeting and posting about her 0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:42.960 reactions to the things that she was watching, and we 0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:46.120 were having some fun interactions and so many and you know, 0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:50.560 mostly dude sorry guys um would message me or respond 0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:54.000 to my tweets with like the instructions they wanted me 0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:58.760 to give my girl improve her viewing process. And I 0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:02.120 remember thinking, like, like, you know, I I think about 0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:04.760 how many times in my life I've heard uh, like 0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:09.400 straight like this dude like probably white talk about like 0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:13.120 how like they can't get their girlfriends into their nerdy things. 0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:16.040 And I almost go, maybe the reason why you can't 0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:18.160 isn't because they're not in the stuff. It's that like 0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:20.240 you have made it so there's no chance for them 0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:22.440 to find any joy in it as you go through 0:07:22.480 --> 0:07:24.880 it with them, because if they try to watch it, 0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:27.840 you're not trying to let them have their own experience 0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:30.360 with it. You're trying to have your exact experience with it, 0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:32.800 how you curate it. And I don't think it works 0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:35.560 that way. So yeah, I think that like with Star Wars, 0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:39.320 I very much like let her make her like I 0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:42.160 I step back, and she went on her own journey 0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:43.600 with it, and she ended up loving it, and now 0:07:43.600 --> 0:07:46.600 she's a pretty big Star Wars fan. But I think 0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:48.440 that if I had been like, no, okay, so you 0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:51.200 gotta watch, you gotta watch Star Wars and an Empire 0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:53.360 and then you're gonna watch you're gonna forget in a 0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:55.240 menus and then you're gonna watch Tecnic Clonson. Then you're 0:07:55.240 --> 0:07:57.440 gonna watch humto this like she would have her eyes 0:07:57.480 --> 0:07:59.040 would have glazed over and she would have been done. 0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:01.080 But instead it was like that, And so that same 0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:03.880 thing with with the m c u UM. She just 0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:05.400 kind of like looked it up and I think I 0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:07.320 think for her release order makes the most sense, so 0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:11.200 she's watched watching it that way. Yeah, I mean that 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:13.360 that's such a good point of like I feel like 0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:16.520 I have dated a couple of people who like when 0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:18.440 a scene is coming up there like oh you gotta 0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:21.160 you know, like they're just trying to take away like 0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:23.440 the moment from you, and like we're all gonna have 0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:26.280 Something that I remember is when you sit down to 0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:28.880 watch a movie, you bring all of your life experiences 0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:30.800 with you to that, and a lot of people don't 0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:33.320 understand that. So we're never it's never going to be 0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:35.920 the same for me as like say someone I'm dating 0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:38.600 and vice versa, like there are moments in these films 0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:41.120 that I might latch onto in a way that they don't. 0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:44.679 And so I think if you don't exactly resonate with 0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:47.000 a film or a specific moment in the way that 0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:49.800 they do, even though their experiences are so different, it's 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:52.640 like yours is somehow less than and it's like as 0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:55.600 opposed to just letting her, like you said, just experience 0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:59.120 it and take what she does. And it's yeah, but 0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:01.440 also I did want to say so when my my 0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:04.520 family got Disney Plus, my older brother texted me and 0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:06.199 he was like, oh, I'm watching all the m c 0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:08.080 U because he has two kids and he just like 0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:10.880 picks up what movies he can here and there, um. 0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:12.800 And he also doesn't have to do this for a living, 0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:16.120 so he doesn't go. He never sees anything in theaters 0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:20.720 ever um anymore. Uh and so but it was funny 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:22.640 because he wrote me and he was like, oh, I'm watching. 0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:24.719 I found this article and it said this is how 0:09:24.720 --> 0:09:27.280 you're supposed to watch them. And I was like, no, 0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:33.520 that article was probably written by Hector navarre Or. And 0:09:33.559 --> 0:09:35.760 I told Hector, I'm like I hate you. Because Hector 0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:38.280 was so big about like you watched this and then 0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:40.839 you hop over and you watch this, and then because 0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:44.520 it was like canonically closing scene ties into this move 0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:47.800 I read that scene. I love Hector, but yeah, it's right. 0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:51.400 I'm like, Hector, that's great if you've already seen Yes, 0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:54.439 thank you. That's not a great viewing method if you've 0:09:54.480 --> 0:09:57.280 never seen them. And like even his article kind of 0:09:57.280 --> 0:10:01.320 requires you to have seen them to understand, right, it 0:10:01.559 --> 0:10:03.480 tells you the things that connect, which like, if you 0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:05.400 haven't seen them, that article spoils it all for you. 0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:08.360 And like you still in the end. And again, Hector 0:10:08.400 --> 0:10:10.160 has been on here five times and I'll like clip 0:10:10.160 --> 0:10:11.959 and send this to home because I literally wrote him 0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:14.840 and I was like, damn you. You got to my 0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:18.560 brother who had never seen them. But yeah, it's just 0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:22.280 really funny how there's no Oh, that's why I want 0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:25.080 to say, there's no right way to like consume a 0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:27.679 lot of this, especially when it's been out for decades. 0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:29.839 A lot of us might have caught some of it, 0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:34.360 like half the movie on on FFX during July four 0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:38.320 weekend or you know it's yeah, it's yeah. So I 0:10:38.360 --> 0:10:42.679 was I was talking to somebody recently about how different. 0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:46.280 Watching franchises is now versus when like I was a 0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:49.800 little kid in the eighties, because the way, like the fact, 0:10:49.840 --> 0:10:51.920 like your brother can can catch up to the m 0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:54.520 c you like going on Disney Plus and watching it 0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:57.560 in the release order, and now like any parents who 0:10:57.600 --> 0:10:59.240 like want to get their kids into m c U 0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:01.800 stuff can do that with Disney Plus or the DVD 0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:04.520 collection or whatever. But back in the ages were like, yes, 0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:07.679 you had VHS tapes, but for the most part, when 0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:11.559 franchise movies came out, you almost just joined the franchise 0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:15.120 with whatever movie was new. When you were like I, 0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:18.440 I have much better vivid memories of seeing Indiana Jones 0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:20.679 in the Last Crusade than I do have Raiders of 0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:23.599 the Lost Arc because like Temple of Doom was a 0:11:23.640 --> 0:11:25.320 little I was a little too young when it came out, 0:11:25.360 --> 0:11:27.840 so it was like my brother's movie. But I like 0:11:27.960 --> 0:11:30.480 the idea of the character of Indiana Jones. So when 0:11:30.600 --> 0:11:33.320 Last Crusade came out, like it was Taylor made for me, 0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:36.160 it's like, hey, here's a movie that's like your guy, 0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:38.280 but now it's a new movie with him in it 0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:39.920 and you can watch it. And same thing with like 0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:42.640 Ghostbusters too, and something like that, where I was like 0:11:42.960 --> 0:11:45.240 you I had I was aware of the first one, 0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:48.120 but the second one was like my exact age range 0:11:48.120 --> 0:11:49.800 when it came out and that's when you saw it. 0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:52.520 And Green Wins too, like I saw Greenlins too and 0:11:52.600 --> 0:11:55.360 enjoyed it before I saw Green Ones one. And now, 0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:57.920 I mean, I'm sure people still do that, like their 0:11:58.000 --> 0:12:00.080 kids are too young to know what sequels are, they 0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:02.640 might just take their kids to see like a superhero movie. 0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:05.240 But I do think that nowadays, like I imagine there's 0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:07.040 not a lot of people who likes like kids who 0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:09.280 are Star Wars fans who the first Star Wars when 0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:11.320 they saw was Force Awakens. You know, I think most 0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:13.480 of them probably got seen showing the trilogy, showing the 0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:15.640 prequels maybe, or showing the cartoon shows or whatever. But 0:12:15.720 --> 0:12:18.040 then when Force Wagans came out, then they took them 0:12:18.040 --> 0:12:23.760 to see that till yeah. Um, luckily we have literally 0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:29.240 everything at our consumption. Um, Joe, what are what are 0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:31.960 you gigging out about? This week? The thing I've been 0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:35.040 gigging out about a lot is Central Park, which is 0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:40.120 a new show on Apple TV. It's a cheating show 0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:44.000 by the guy who created Bob's Burgers. It's a musical. 0:12:44.480 --> 0:12:47.520 It's set in Central Park. It's produced by Josh Gad. 0:12:47.720 --> 0:12:50.760 It's not a perfect show. It's not the best show 0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:53.280 you've ever seen, but damn is it lighthearted and funny. 0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:56.040 Damn is it cute as hell? Um, it's not a 0:12:56.080 --> 0:12:59.640 lot of your favorite Broadway stars. Uh, and it's it's 0:12:59.640 --> 0:13:02.720 so the lightful. And now they're recast Christen Bell as 0:13:02.800 --> 0:13:05.960 the half black, half lay girl. I'm really excited about that. 0:13:06.480 --> 0:13:08.360 I don't know when season two is coming, but the 0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:11.000 songs do slap and um. If you just need to 0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:13.240 take your mind off of the hot garbage that is 0:13:13.280 --> 0:13:15.600 the world, you can pop that in and just forget. 0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:19.560 And it's so lovely. Love it. Mine is also an 0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:22.400 animated show, and it's I watched the second season of 0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:26.880 Harley Quinn and let me tell you, Harley Quinn, as 0:13:26.920 --> 0:13:31.880 someone who actively works in television, is one of the 0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:36.920 best shows comedically, has some of the best comedic writing. 0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:40.520 If you want to be a comedy writer, watch this show. 0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:43.000 I'm like, this is better than a lot of the 0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:47.760 live action crap that gets put out. And I think 0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:49.640 I say that because I do not think that she 0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:52.160 gets the recognition. I don't think that the writers on 0:13:52.160 --> 0:13:54.920 this show, the characters what they're doing in the social 0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:58.960 commentary they're making well also just being badass and kicking 0:13:59.000 --> 0:14:02.400 but like just you know, dicking around all the things 0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:05.600 that she's allowed to do. Um. I don't think enough 0:14:05.640 --> 0:14:07.600 people are talking about this show. So I hope that 0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:10.040 this convinces you to be like, Okay, I'm finally gonna 0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:12.199 sit down. I'm gonna watch this show because it is 0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:15.480 such great writing. I think it's tough because DC Universe 0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:17.800 is such like an extent, like not everybody's. It's such 0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:21.400 a niche streaming service to have. But like I got 0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:23.200 to I haven't seen season two yet because I don't 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:26.240 have DCU but I have so I have sci Fi 0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:29.560 through Sling, and they aired season one on the sci 0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:31.600 Fi Channel and you can watch that least off and 0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:33.360 I don't know how recent it was, but at least 0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:36.440 in in May you could watch season one on demand 0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:38.960 on sci Fi on Demand. So really, I'll send you 0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:41.080 my pass sword and stuff so you can watch season 0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:44.680 two because it season one. I really will. I am 0:14:44.720 --> 0:14:48.400 a lifelong Harley an Ivy shipper, and so I know 0:14:48.440 --> 0:14:51.200 what happens season two, and I'm like obsessed with needing 0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:53.440 to see it because like season one, I even liked 0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:55.960 their last ship as friends because it gave me that 0:14:56.040 --> 0:14:58.160 like Daria and Jane vibe that I have, like that 0:14:58.240 --> 0:15:01.640 I needed, but like knowing where it went in season two, 0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:04.080 I need to see it because I have that's my 0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:06.800 O t P. Like I have shipped this. It's like 0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:09.840 their first pair up on the Batman animated series, before 0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:11.960 I understood that I was queer or what being queer 0:15:12.040 --> 0:15:15.200 was or was, I was like, these two should be girlfriends. 0:15:15.200 --> 0:15:16.400 I don't know if that means, but I want this 0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:19.400 to happen. Then, hanging out at the mall and kidnapping 0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:23.600 Batman is such an iconic episode for me personally. They 0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:26.320 are the first fan fiction I got into, and my 0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:28.400 my lesbian roommates were like, how are you not reading 0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:30.040 all of their fan fiction? Like is that a thing 0:15:30.120 --> 0:15:32.640 that exists? Like yes, and their cannon then and we 0:15:32.640 --> 0:15:35.920 were together solely together when Um the comic book came out, 0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:40.240 where they were like finally canonized and just absolutely the best. 0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:41.960 And it's been such a long journey I think for 0:15:42.080 --> 0:15:45.400 especially for like queer Harley stands of a certain age, 0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:48.080 like that's sort of been are like the our entire 0:15:48.160 --> 0:15:52.280 journey through fandom and queer canonized relationship sort of is 0:15:52.320 --> 0:15:55.080 embodied in those two and the show got it right. 0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:57.000 I'm still worried after season one. I'm like, what are 0:15:57.040 --> 0:15:59.840 we doing? And now it's it's confirmed, and it's beautiful 0:15:59.840 --> 0:16:03.480 and feels authentic. It's so good. Yeah. I interviewed Marguerite 0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:05.400 Benett a couple of years ago, who was the first 0:16:05.400 --> 0:16:07.000 one to make them a couple in the comics, in 0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:09.680 the Bombshells comics, and I remember asking her what it 0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:12.320 was like to finally take the ship and make it cannon, 0:16:12.840 --> 0:16:15.440 and she said that it was such a prevalent ship 0:16:15.600 --> 0:16:17.400 that she didn't even realize that when she did it, 0:16:17.440 --> 0:16:21.560 that it wasn't already cannon because it was so prevalent 0:16:21.600 --> 0:16:23.400 in the fandom of these two were a rankic pair 0:16:23.520 --> 0:16:25.000 that she didn't realize that it was the first time 0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:27.360 it actually kissed in the in the panel, I think, 0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:34.479 I think it's adorable. Yeah. Um. Speaking of another animated 0:16:35.080 --> 0:16:38.080 currently animated, see you look at these look at these 0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:45.480 transitions leading lady a Sokatano. I want to know when 0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:49.480 both of you first saw her, What was your first memory? 0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:53.840 I want to take that one really. Um, I don't 0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:56.360 know if I have an actual pinpoint, Like I I 0:16:56.400 --> 0:16:59.120 didn't immediately get into Clone Wars like a lot of 0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:02.320 people did when it first came on. Um, like the 0:17:02.480 --> 0:17:04.800 now this is the Feloni Clone Jock the original Clone 0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:07.840 Wars where she's not involved in, but she the the 0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:11.560 Getty Tarkovski Clone Wars. But UM, I think it was 0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:15.439 actually weirdly. I remember a friend of mine was talking 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:20.160 about his daughter dressing as a Sokatano for Halloween, and 0:17:20.200 --> 0:17:22.680 like somebody was like kind of like what do you mean. 0:17:22.960 --> 0:17:25.560 He's like, oh, it's it's Anakin's padawan from the Clone Wars, 0:17:25.920 --> 0:17:29.320 And like they're like, wouldn't obscure character, But it's like no, 0:17:29.440 --> 0:17:31.680 not for a kid who's watching Clone Wars and into 0:17:31.720 --> 0:17:33.280 it and remember being like, oh, I want to know 0:17:33.320 --> 0:17:35.800 who this character is. That like young girls watching Star 0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:38.719 Wars like are relating to and dressing up as a costumes. 0:17:38.720 --> 0:17:40.680 That's kind of how I became aware of her as 0:17:40.680 --> 0:17:45.320 a character. Uh yeah, I caught onto her in Clone Wars. 0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:49.000 I was a first night to Nomie. Waw was like 0:17:49.680 --> 0:17:52.959 what like semi anime, but kind of this new three 0:17:53.040 --> 0:17:56.959 D style I'm in and um. I was thirteen when 0:17:57.000 --> 0:17:59.240 the show came out, so I was very much vibing 0:17:59.240 --> 0:18:01.639 with it. I was like, oh my god, look at 0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:05.679 this cool girl. And then sort of as Asoka grew, specifically, 0:18:05.680 --> 0:18:08.720 her fight style got gets a lot stronger. The further 0:18:08.800 --> 0:18:12.800 the show progressive, I just became more and more obsessed 0:18:12.920 --> 0:18:15.919 with the idea that not only could a woman be 0:18:16.000 --> 0:18:18.879 a Jedi, but she could she could take two of 0:18:18.920 --> 0:18:21.879 the greatest Jedis ever to task frequently and when it 0:18:21.960 --> 0:18:25.640 was just incredible. So she's leading armies at thirteen, like 0:18:25.760 --> 0:18:28.480 as a solo kid who was doing like a ton 0:18:28.640 --> 0:18:32.040 of extracurriculars and just like trying to embody the badass 0:18:32.080 --> 0:18:34.720 woman I was seeing on TV Like Asoka was definitely 0:18:34.760 --> 0:18:38.080 an early inspiration. Yeah. So when, as you all said, 0:18:38.080 --> 0:18:41.680 when Asokatano burst on the scene as Anakin Skywalker's padawan 0:18:41.880 --> 0:18:44.919 and the Star Wars animated series Clone Wars, she became 0:18:44.960 --> 0:18:49.520 the first female Jedi lead lead in the canonical saga 0:18:49.640 --> 0:18:52.680 and became an icon for millions over the world. She's 0:18:52.720 --> 0:18:57.520 known by her nickname Snipped her precocious attitude, firm belief injuice, 0:18:57.560 --> 0:19:00.119 and love for adventure made her a worthy student of 0:19:00.119 --> 0:19:03.040 one of the most powerful force users in known history. 0:19:03.119 --> 0:19:05.720 But she isn't just a student. Her destiny was to 0:19:05.720 --> 0:19:10.240 be incredible force wielder. So I'm sure most people have 0:19:10.440 --> 0:19:12.800 seen her. But in case they haven't and they're like, 0:19:12.840 --> 0:19:15.719 who are you talking about? Um, Joel, can you explain 0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:19.719 like her look to people, because it's very iconic. Yeah, okay, 0:19:19.920 --> 0:19:27.160 So Katana is a hug Ruda. Is I think hug Ruda? Okay, 0:19:27.280 --> 0:19:31.280 She's got these big blue eyes. She has white lake 0:19:31.359 --> 0:19:33.720 who and Montreal's which are these blue and white stripes. 0:19:33.800 --> 0:19:36.800 They look sort of like pigtails, but they're not. They're 0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:39.359 not like Surry or Harry. They're sort of like an 0:19:39.400 --> 0:19:43.159 extension of her skull essentially, but they're soft. Um and 0:19:43.160 --> 0:19:45.920 as she grows, like the stripes on them get wider 0:19:46.000 --> 0:19:51.479 and longer. She's slender, like mostly eyes and just like 0:19:51.520 --> 0:19:54.560 a boxy, short fighter. Like if you've seen like some 0:19:54.600 --> 0:19:56.320 of the greatest fighters, they tend to have like a 0:19:56.440 --> 0:19:59.280 very low to the ground center of gravity and they 0:19:59.320 --> 0:20:03.280 get those punch is out real quick. That's think tumbler. Yeah, 0:20:03.480 --> 0:20:06.679 she has orange skin, and she also has these like 0:20:06.680 --> 0:20:09.040 white lines on her skin that are almost like work paint, 0:20:09.160 --> 0:20:12.240 Like she has like different like designs to those. And 0:20:12.280 --> 0:20:15.040 when they first brought her out, she I, I'm not 0:20:15.119 --> 0:20:17.119 a huge fan of her original costume when they when 0:20:17.160 --> 0:20:19.560 she was like little, because it's like a tube top 0:20:19.600 --> 0:20:22.600
