We're bringing the ups and the downs, Lenny. 12 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 3: You know what I mean. 13 00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 1: No, you're not safe on this podcast. 14 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 4: If you do it every week, sometimes the assausgage is 15 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 4: gonna spoil. 16 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 3: That's true. 17 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 2: Well, it was also what was it like the third 18 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,320 Speaker 2: episode of the show or something. 19 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,960 Speaker 3: It was exactly definitely. 20 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 2: It's It's funny because you go back and watch it, 21 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 2: and I think the reason that everyone goes, oh, secrews 22 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,400 Speaker 2: is because it's it was one of the first like 23 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:25,319 Speaker 2: five episodes that were meeting everybody, and it was the 24 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 2: I think the first episode where it like immediately became 25 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 2: obvious that the chemistry was was the family and the kids. 26 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 2: It wasn't just the adults and their dating and their 27 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 2: whatever like that was they were like, oh, we'll try this, 28 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 2: but it just like that episode when you take it 29 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:44,960 Speaker 2: with sort of the cannon of all of the rest 30 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 2: of Full House, you go, ah, that's why that one 31 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 2: wasn't the thing, because it the magic was the family 32 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 2: and that took us so kind of far away from it. 33 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 2: But it was one of those things that you're like, 34 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 2: we gotta try it, gotta you know. 35 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 5: Upsitcoms are about exactly figuring it out what they're about. 36 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's hard to like figure out who how 37 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 2: are these people? Who are these people and how are 38 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,360 Speaker 2: they you know, what what are their dynamics? 39 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 3: What is their life? 40 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 5: Hey, you don't know the actor right right? So you 41 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 5: what if it, well, what's their strength, what's Kimmy's strengths, 42 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 5: what's Danny's strength? And that and you that's an experiment, yeah, 43 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 5: you know, and and so that keeps. 44 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 4: In the first season at least that keeps evolving for sure. 45 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 3: Character change, Yeah, you definitely. 46 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 2: We we got through watching the first season and it 47 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 2: was really remarkable to watch the development of characters and 48 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 2: story and relationship, and to watch us as actors also 49 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 2: start becoming closer on screen, and you see the relationships 50 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 2: developing between us as a as a family, you know, 51 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,959 Speaker 2: in real life, but it starts being portrayed through how 52 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 2: these characters are interacting. You see from episode one to 53 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 2: the end of the season, all of a sudden, it's 54 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 2: like everyone's like, oh my god, I love you. 55 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, but you. 56 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 5: See, for a writing stuff, you have to evolve to that, Yeah, 57 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 5: that's not going to be the first episode or the 58 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 5: third episode or the episode. Your hope is that everyone 59 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 5: is a little step closer. 60 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:23,799 Speaker 3: Right, Yeah. 61 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 2: I find the first season of any show, you know, 62 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 2: whether you're watching it, whether you're in it. 63 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 3: When you go back and watch the like. 64 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 2: The first half of the first season, usually you're like, oh, wow, 65 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 2: this this could have gone really different, Like I say, 66 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 2: it could have been a whole other show. 67 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 3: And then you get to. 68 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 2: Like season three or four and you're like, ah, they 69 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 2: figured out what they're doing right, right, which is why 70 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 2: the Bummer is now in television. It's so hard because 71 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 2: you get thirteen episodes, so like, if your first episode 72 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 2: isn't completely like all the characters aren't exactly where they 73 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 2: need to be. It feels like sometimes people go, well, 74 00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 2: that's all right, not to cancel it. You're like, but 75 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 2: the first few shows of any show are always kind 76 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 2: of shaky gives. 77 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 4: I mean, it's a discarver. 78 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: So Secrews was a big experiment. Episode didn't exactly work, 79 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: but that's okay, It's part of the process. 80 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 4: I'm sure I wrote worse. 81 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,040 Speaker 2: No, I think it's just Secrews, just secrets as far 82 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:20,919 Speaker 2: as Full House goes. 83 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,280 Speaker 3: But one thing that's speaking of worse. 84 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 2: What Andrea did want to talk about was the Star 85 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 2: Wars Christmas Special, which is legendary in its own right. 86 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 2: I have never watched it, I'll let you.
