16
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 2: maybe we would not be able to cover with everything

17
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,960
Speaker 2: coming out in the next few months. So we had

18
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 2: our first few episodes last week and keep an eye

19
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 2: out for more throughout December.

20
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: But first, let's seven Plurals. Wow. Great episode. We open

21
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: in the hospital where Carol is hanging out waiting to

22
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: see how thoshit is. After Usha's interrogation induced heart attack.

23
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: Carol is, you know, just kind of waiting, squeezing her

24
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 1: stress stuck. We see a man drinking a carton of milk,

25
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: one of the little school cartons. Then the phone rings.

26
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: Carol picks it up at the front desk. It is Lakshmi,

27
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: and Lakshmi's pissed. She's like, you made my son cry?

28
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: What the fuck are you doing? And she's like, never

29
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: did it again, goodbye, hangs up. She's very angry. At

30
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,239
Speaker 1: this point, you start to notice that all the Hive

31
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: Mind people seem kind of mad at Carol, like they're

32
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: very unhappy with her. They're giving her a there's definitely

33
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: a vibe. Yes, Harol like grabs one of the Hive

34
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: Mind people and like, don't let me call me again.

35
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: The guy's like whatever, Like definitely is like okay, But

36
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: then maybe there's an attitude one of them. When Carol asks, says,

37
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 1: so she's gonna be fine, but like in a really

38
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,679
Speaker 1: annoyed right way. And then Carol lays down for a nap.

39
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 2: This is not the Hive Mind to her, only there

40
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 2: to please Carol anymore us.

41
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 3: And then we see like them just streaming.

42
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 2: Away from the hospital appears as if they are like

43
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 2: fleeing Carol, maybe fleeing the potential of a nightmare.

44
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 3: I was wondering, like, if she's angry and high dream

45
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 3: would that do something? I don't know.

46
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 2: I'm very interested in that they board like coaches basically

47
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 2: to leave and time passes.

48
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 3: And I'm sure in the script it.

49
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 2: Said beat Carol wakes alone, and she does, and where

50
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 2: is Zosha?

51
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,399
Speaker 3: That's the biggest question. I think.

52
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 2: I'm really scared at this point by the scope of

53
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,799
Speaker 2: how quickly they can arrange and organize stuff, whether it's

54
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 2: rebuilding a sprouts or emptying a hospital. Carol tries to

55
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 2: make a call, but she is no longer priority number one,

56
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 2: and they do not pick up. There's only a message saying,

57
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 2: tell us what you need, Carol, We'll do our best

58
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 2: to provide it. The hide mine needs a little space

59
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 2: from her, and she climbs to a rooftop and sees

60
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 2: the entire population fleeing and says, good riddance. What a

61
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 2: way to wake up. Imagine pissing off the entire world?

62
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: What a way. She goes home and she begins drafting

63
00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: a script. Uh she and it gets made up for her,

64
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: you know, with her video camera setup that's still in

65
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: the living room. She puts a new and stick card

66
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: in the camera and then she, reading off her notes,

67
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 1: goes straight to camera and addressing her twelve other fellow survivors,

68
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: basically pitching like this greater mission to cure humanity. He

69
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: lays out how she knows everything that she knows about

70
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 1: about the Hive Mind people they can't lie that they

71
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: want to please them, but that there is a cure,

72
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: and that they basically confirmed to her by process of

73
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: elimination that there is a cure, and that it was

74
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: in pursuing this information that she and accidentally got everybody

75
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: to burst out into tears all around the world, and

76
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: she's like, sorry about that. He then calls the Hive Mind,

77
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: leaving a message and says, hey, I want this videotape

78
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: distributed with captions for those who don't speak English to

79
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: all the others. And she leaves it in a little

80
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 1: like padded envelope outside her house and a drone comes

81
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,679
Speaker 1: because they don't want to approach her. A drone comes

82
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 1: in and carries it away. I will say that my

83
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 1: initial reaction to this video is this is not going

84
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: to get it.

85
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, Jason, likelihood of my manifestos winning bad,

86
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 2: it's not. She's not winning anyone over, Like this is

87
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 2: not a well made manifesto.

88
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: This is just Pete's stand at Carol, and I think

89
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: this is very This is part of the tension of

90
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: this show. That's so interesting is you know, like, nominally

91
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: I'm on Carol's side, but the fact that she is.

92
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: She's going about it in almost the same way that

93
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 1: the Hive's mind do their exactly I like and ask

94
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: for consent. They just they just assimilated everyone. Harold here

95
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: she makes a very kind of like bare gesture chords

96
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 1: like now, I know some of you might not agree

97
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,919
Speaker 1: with me, but then she usually rolls over that and

98
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: is like, we must together to do this.

99
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 3: She's like, oh, now I care about curing the earth.

100
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 3: It's like, do you like you didn't seem to be.

101
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 2: That bothered about any of this before, Like she's not,

102
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 2: she's not selling it, but she's doing her best good

103
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 2: for Caro. And she tries to sleep but she can't,

104
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 2: which understandable because the whole world hates you.

105
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 3: It's like my regular night terror.

106
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 2: She sees a coyote hop the fence and eat her garbage.

107
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 3: Makes sense, It's Albuquerque.

108
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 2: So she sees a wolf and it begins to eat

109
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 2: her garbage, and she's like, go away, trashes the garden

110
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 2: as if you've ever had a raccoon or a coyote

111
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 2: or a wolf in your house, they are want to do.

112
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 2: She calls the Hive mine and she's like, hey, put

113
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 2: on these lights. The wolves are getting brave, like they

114
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 2: put them on. But the next day, Carol's like, I'm

115
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,919
Speaker 2: gonna clean my yard, goes outside getting her little racon

116
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 2: and she calls the Hive mine and she's like, I

117
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,119
Speaker 2: need my trash to be picked up now. I gotta

118
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 2: say I'm kind of liking the Hive Mind's response to

119
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 2: this because Carol, I don't feel like you're relying too

120
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 2: much on them for you're just calling them all the time.

121
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 3: They do this for me, do that for me, but

122
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 3: like you could do it yourself. And that's basically what

123
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 3: they say, which I love.

124
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 2: They're basically like, hey, here's a recording on how you

125
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 2: bag your own trash, Like great job.

126
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, So the drones, so the drones can take each

127
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: individual bag away.

128
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 3: And this is very interesting.

129
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 2: Now we're starting to get some clues, and I feel

130
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 2: like this was very clear from the opening of this

131
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 2: episode that the milk would be a foreshadowing thing. And

132
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 2: she starts to notice in every trash cans just tons

133
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 2: of milk. So I'm like, hopefully they can be beaten

134
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 2: by lactose intolerance. That's kind of my dream outcome here.

135
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: She goes to the dairy where the milk comes from,

136
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: the kind of like the bottling plant Duke's dairy, and

137
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: it does not seem to be operational at the moment,

138
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: and whatever they're producing there, it does not appear to

139
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: be milk. She finds like a storeroom where crows have

140
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: torn into a bag of like powdery stuff. She drags

141
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: the bag home and gets like some pH balanced stuff

142
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: in different very basic like chemical reagents to kind of

143
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: test what this stuff is. She never records a new

144
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: video update for the survivors. She's like, Hey, the hive

145
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: mind drink this weird liquid that's water mixed with this

146
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: white powder that I found. They all eat it. It's

147
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: like oily to the touch, like olive oil, but like

148
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: maybe a little thinner. It's probably the stuff. I'm thinking

149
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: that the hive mind. It's it's probably similar to what

150
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: that we saw the Hive mind making the lab in

151
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: episode one.

152
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 3: I think it's going to be.

153
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 2: It's very interesting to me because we're already getting to

154
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 2: that kind of soilent green at esque like what's in

155
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 2: the bag?

156
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 3: Is that how they keep control of them?

157
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 2: Like I love this, I love this wrinkle, But again, Carol,

158
00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:58,679
Speaker 2: nobody cares.

159
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 3: Not like common persuading, not good at persuading.

160
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 2: You've got to be coming at this with a hey,

161
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 2: here's another clue, Like I'm gonna keep recording these just

162
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 2: for you know, society, so they know what happened or something.

163
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: I mean. I also think that Perrol, her only interest

164
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: in the other survivors is like, help me with.

165
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 3: This, exactly.

166
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 2: She doesn't actually care about them, or their family or their.

167
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: Kids, anybody. You're not gonna get anybody to buy in

168
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 1: like that. You know, you're just not so even though

169
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 1: your message is one that I think everybody on some

170
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: level would agree with, You're just not gonna convince everybody

171
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 1: if you're if you only want them for their ability

172
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: to help you, and don't do the shit otherwise exactly,

173
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: which is true.

174
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 2: Also, I think a strong theme for the show is

175
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 2: probably where it's going, Like, hey, imagine if you were

176
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:56,839
Speaker 2: an active part of your society.

177
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: So she's very frustrated, you know, with the fact that

178
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: the Thrivers don't seem to care. I think maybe realizing

179
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: this message is not like quite up to snuff. She

180
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 1: deletes it and records another one and then sends that.

181
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 2: One off and that's the drone comes And this is

182
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 2: where this is where you're really getting some like this

183
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 2: ending sequence is so Vince Gilligan at his best and

184
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 2: craziest and bleakest, because Carol's drinking again, and honestly, in

185
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 2: that way, I don't blame her.

186
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 3: It's a tough time. She's loving through the end of

187
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 3: the world.

188
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 2: But the wolves are back, and this time they don't

189
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 2: want her trash. They want her ex girlfriend and agent

190
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 2: slash publisher Helen.

191
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 3: They are digging her up to eat her.

192
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:50,439
Speaker 2: There is a chase into the house and eventually end

193
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 2: with Carol basically having to drive a cop car through

194
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 2: them to scare them away through her backyard. Wakes up

195
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 2: in the car, decides that the only option is to

196
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 2: go and build a grave site kind of concrete over

197
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:14,319
Speaker 2: poor very soap opera style over Helen's grave, and then

198
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 2: she ends up also making her a headstone and decides

199
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 2: she's going to get drunk. But I feel like again, Carol,

200
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 2: learn a lesson here. She knocks over the powder stuff

201
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 2: and notices a barcode. If you had just looked at

202
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 2: it closer before, wouldn't have had to get here. But

203
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 2: you know what, babe, do your best.

204
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: So she takes the bag with the barcode to the

205
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,239
Speaker 1: local sprouts to scan it, but it doesn't come up incredible,

206
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: but she eventually locates that the bag comes from a

207
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 1: company called Agrijet, and she goes to Agrijet, which it's

208
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: like this big storage facility with a huge freezers and

209
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: huge refrigerated containers and inside there's like a lot of

210
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 1: produce for the sprouts. And then something she uncovers, something

211
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: like under a blanket and whatever it is, it absolutely

212
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: shocks her, leaving us with like a cliffhanger that I

213
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 1: almost I almost couldn't stand it.

214
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 2: I know, I like kick, I'm kicking, I'm kicking the TV.

215
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: I know, I'm like, tell me what's not get in there.

216
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:27,319
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick break and come back and we'll

217
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 1: discuss all of this.

218
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, and we're back.

219
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 1: Okay. I really liked this episode, and I really like

220
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: the you know, I mean, I think that there is

221
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 1: something about the way we process maybe like politics too,

222
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: in this because there's a.

223
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 3: Lot of people I think so too.

224
00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: There's a lot of figures, let's say, like out there

225
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 1: whose politics maybe I agree with, you know, but just

226
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 1: the way they carry themselves, I'm like, I can't, I don't.

227
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 1: I hate you.

228
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 3: You need to be perssonable.

229
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: Bill Maher is a person who's who's politics. I ninety

230
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: five percent probably agree with them. The five percent I'm like,

231
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 1: you are a piece of shit, Like I need you.

232
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: But the way he like hawks to people and goes

233
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 1: about his whole thing is so bad that I'm like, man,

234
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,079
Speaker 1: fuck this, fuck this guy. Leena Dunham is another one

235
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 1: of these where I'm like, you know, I agree with

236
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 1: all this, but I just am not with you the

237
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 1: way yourself.

238
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 2: Of course, Carol is really having that same struggle right now.

239
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,679
Speaker 1: Yes, where it's like, Carol, could you act like you

240
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 1: care about these other people? Could you like ask so

241
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: what's going on with your how you guys up with you?

242
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 3: Any idea?

243
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 4: Yeah?

244
00:13:56,040 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: And instead of just like jumping immediately to a pretty

245
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:05,359
Speaker 1: drastic ask, which is like, let's stave in the world.

246
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 2: And we the only way we're doing this is communicating

247
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,679
Speaker 2: this through the Hive mind.

248
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,679
Speaker 3: Like the imagine if you there's gotta be up a way.

249
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 5: Imagine if you were like the other eleven survivors and

250
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 5: you were all coming up with a really sick, like

251
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 5: radical underground plan that you'd been communicating to each other,

252
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 5: and then someone just kept like dming the Hive Mind

253
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 5: and being like, hey guys, hey, Hive Mind group chat, Hey,

254
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 5: we should save the world.

255
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 2: Save the world, Like I would also be annoyed. Yeah,

256
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 2: I think this is another great episode. I think it

257
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 2: builds on what we got in the last episode in

258
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 2: a really exciting way. I also think that we are

259
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 2: at the space now where the milk and the Juke's

260
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 2: dairy of it all is the kind of hook that

261
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 2: we need. I think that they do need to start

262
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 2: delivering a few answers or we could end up in

263
00:14:54,600 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 2: a Yellow Jackets type situation. So Jason likelihood of the

264
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 2: Hive Mind powder oil milk being something that keeps the

265
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 2: Hive Mind connected, or that they need to drink to

266
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 2: keep control of them. What do you think or do

267
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 2: you think it's just maybe it's more of a body

268
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 2: anatomy type thing, the way that when you're a vampire

269
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 2: you don't really need to eat food anymore. Maybe once

270
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 2: the hive mind takes over, it's more of a kind

271
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 2: of last of Us brain infection. So maybe this is

272
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 2: a way to keep people sentient and not just like

273
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 2: eating each other. I'm very interested to know where it goes,

274
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 2: because Vince is an unexpected man.

275
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think that this is some sort of nutrient

276
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 1: concoction that gives them all they need to keep being alive,

277
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: but that also probably services their connection to the hive

278
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: mind in some way and maybe re ups it. Maybe

279
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 1: it's gout like some of the original DNA recipe. But

280
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: the fact that it's all that they and soon we

281
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 1: needs you to believe that it is necessary for them

282
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: to live. And then the question is like, what is it?

283
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think. I guess we're led to

284
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: believe that whatever she finds in the freezer is so

285
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: shot like dead bodies, dead animals, something, some sort of

286
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 1: soilent green thing that is so can't be that right.

287
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 2: It can't because it's too obvious, Like they can't just

288
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 2: be eating the dead humans, like it's too obvious. I

289
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 2: know he's going to do something surprising, but I just

290
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 2: gotta know what it is.

291
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: Also, I guess I was what I was dying.

292
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 2: It could be this would be very bleak, but it

293
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 2: could be like Helen is in the refrigerator and actually

294
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 2: they're keeping the bodies of the dead for whatever reason,

295
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 2: and they never buried her in her god like, like

296
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 2: they dug her up out of her garden or something.

297
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 2: You know.

298
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 3: But that feels a little bit.

299
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 2: Too Carol ex Machina, like a little bit too on Carol, though,

300
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 2: I will say I've been enjoyed how many surprising kind

301
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 2: of connections we've had between like this and the Chair

302
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:09,159
Speaker 2: Company and even it Welcome to Derry and the whole

303
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 2: Agrijet stuff was giving it was giving Chair Company.

304
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 3: I was like, yes, it really was really similar.

305
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 2: I think this notion of liminal spaces and the way

306
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 2: that everybody is living so online that sometimes you go

307
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 2: outside and you're like, oh, there's nobody here, Like where

308
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:30,479
Speaker 2: is everybody playing? On these kind of ideas of like

309
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 2: places you expect people to be and they're not. Whether

310
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 2: it's an office building, like we're investigating in the Chair

311
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 2: Company or if it's this, I think there is something

312
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 2: really scary about that, and I think that a lot

313
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 2: of shows are really digging into that right now. And yeah,

314
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 2: the end of this, I was like, this is so

315
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 2: Chair Company coded, but I need to know what's in

316
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 2: the fridge because, like you said, it's too obvious, and

317
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 2: I don't think he would do a pull the punch.

318
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 2: It's not really a twist, you know. It also is

319
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 2: not just going to be like her favorite Booze or

320
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 2: whatever version. There's something in there, but it has to

321
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:13,160
Speaker 2: be a situation of something so shocking that tells us

322
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,640
Speaker 2: a new part of the story and what is going

323
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 2: on with it. So I'm very interested in a few

324
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 2: different things.

325
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:23,199
Speaker 1: I think that there is something about the way that

326
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: just to participate in the world, you have to understand

327
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,919
Speaker 1: like what company owns, what company owns what company? Like

328
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 1: even just to talk about you know what we talk about,

329
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 1: it's like, Okay, well this ip is owned by Disney,

330
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: but they got it from Fox and they got it.

331
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 1: And I think there is something there is that similarity

332
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,120
Speaker 1: in Chair Company and this where it's like, Okay, you're

333
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,640
Speaker 1: where does the bag come from? And where do they

334
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 1: make this? And who owns that? And where is this? Actually?

335
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 1: You know, it's like you're it's like this Russian nesting

336
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 1: doll of corporate structures that we all live inside, and

337
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 1: that the feeling is that when you're inside one of

338
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 1: these nesting structures, it's hard to understand, like what's two

339
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 1: layers beyond it? But the feeling is that if you

340
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:14,640
Speaker 1: go enough layers beyond it, there's only one nesting doll,

341
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 1: like we're all in, you know what I mean, Like

342
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: it all leads back to one or two companies. And

343
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 1: I think that mystery is that feeling of confusion and

344
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 1: bewildernentment about being trapped in this kind of big maze

345
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: is something that really resonates.

346
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 2: Ian put a great question in how, which is what

347
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 2: are they doing when they're not with Carol? Like do

348
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,919
Speaker 2: we have no idea? Everything is so focused around them?

349
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 2: They're working on something? Are they building something? Are they

350
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,919
Speaker 2: programming something? Are certain segments of them just sitting asleep,

351
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 2: hundreds of them at a time, just like in sitting

352
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 2: like zoned out, Like that's I want to see that

353
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,120
Speaker 2: Why to world Vince has done a really good job

354
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 2: of Carol being are in. But now I need to

355
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 2: know what happens next. And now the show's been you know,

356
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,199
Speaker 2: I believe picked up for the second season.

357
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,199
Speaker 3: I think we will. We're definitely going to get to

358
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 3: know that. Okay.

359
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 2: Also another question ari hive mind stuff. Are the animals

360
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:18,359
Speaker 2: in the hive mind?

361
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 3: Like were the wolves? No, you don't think so.

362
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 2: You think that could also be a big part of

363
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 2: how they save the world if the animals are not.

364
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 2: If that was just the wolves naturally digging up a

365
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 2: dead body because they could smell it and they were

366
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 2: hunting down trash rather than some kind of hive mind

367
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:42,400
Speaker 2: ghoulish behavior. To kind of explore Jason going into episode six,

368
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 2: what is the thing that you need them to explore

369
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,159
Speaker 2: the most and give you answers on the most or

370
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:51,719
Speaker 2: the character you most want to follow up with?

371
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:57,120
Speaker 1: You know, I think that finding out what they are doing,

372
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: like what they must be working towards someigger project. Clearly

373
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 1: they are doing that, and that the mission to service

374
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:12,439
Speaker 1: the survivors with whatever they need is probably you know,

375
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 1: a miniscule part of their daily operating, you know, load

376
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: that whatever it is that they are doing spending the

377
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 1: majority of their time doing is probably one the production

378
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: of this nutrient juice that they need, and then two

379
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 1: whatever the bigger project is, which is something we don't

380
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 1: that's the thing that we don't know, Like, what is

381
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: the bigger project? This wasn't just to unite the world

382
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: in a hive mind type situation where we can all

383
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 1: drink the milk juice. They must be the planet has

384
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 1: been hijacked for a reason to do something. And I

385
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:02,679
Speaker 1: think part of it again talked about it is in

386
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 1: the first episode they talked about how the power needed

387
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:10,919
Speaker 1: to send this signal six hundred light years across space.

388
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: It must have required an antenna the size of Africa,

389
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 1: and I think that they're doing that. They're building a

390
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 1: part of it is building another huge antenna in order

391
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:27,719
Speaker 1: to send this message to whatever inhabited planet in the

392
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 1: direction of some inhabited planet. The question I guess is

393
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:37,640
Speaker 1: were they aiming at us? Did they know we were here?

394
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 1: Is it just to act get the Paraguay guy?

395
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 4: Yes?

396
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 1: Guy? Is are there like pioneers that go out and

397
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,679
Speaker 1: locate planets?

398
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 4: Mm?

399
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 3: Hmmm? Are they sending out colonization ships?

400
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: Right? And then drop a pin and say, okay, aim

401
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:03,159
Speaker 1: then and a hear that's the kind of thing that

402
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,919
Speaker 1: I'm I can't wait to find out along with you know,

403
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: like what the fuck is under the blanket in the presearch.

404
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 3: Right, like we need to know what's head that.

405
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,439
Speaker 2: Well, I'm really excited about as well is I'm loving

406
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 2: that our discord has been loving this and our listeners

407
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,359
Speaker 2: have been loving this. And Vince has really kind of

408
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 2: expanded out some teasers with a recent letterbox list that

409
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 2: he said are the ten movies that he thinks most

410
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 2: influenced pluribus and this is really gonna give you some good.

411
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:50,679
Speaker 2: This is some weird shit to talk about. Okay, So

412
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 2: this is a classic Vince Gilligan thing. So this movie

413
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 2: is called Afterlife. It's a movie about recently deceased people

414
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:00,159
Speaker 2: who basically have to pick like one perfect memory that

415
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 2: they can just take and recreate for them in their afterlife.

416
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 2: But the best thing is Vince Gilligan has never watched

417
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,919
Speaker 2: the movie. He says that in the description, but he says,

418
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 2: this idea of the joined being able to see all

419
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 2: of the different memories came from that movie. So you

420
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 2: can watch it and be ahead of Vince Gilligan, who

421
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:23,160
Speaker 2: still apparently has not watched it. Another one Albert Brook's

422
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:27,640
Speaker 2: classic Defending Your Life. Defending your Life, classic classic, and

423
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 2: that one, he says, is really like, that's a lot

424
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:35,880
Speaker 2: of influence on Carol's personality and this kind of crankiness

425
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 2: and this kind of feeling of how depressing and cranky

426
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 2: can you be in real life? And could you change that?

427
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 2: The one that really in the one I think is

428
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 2: really interesting. He chose Invasion of the Body Snatches. Obviously,

429
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 2: he chose the nineteen fifty six version, which is our

430
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 2: original kind of well Spring version. But the quote from

431
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 2: this that I think is so interesting and tells us

432
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,959
Speaker 2: a lot. He says, what if there was an argument

433
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 2: to be made in favor of losing your individuality and

434
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 2: joining the hive? I would argue that argument has not

435
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 2: fully been made yet in the show. So I'm really

436
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 2: excited to see the fact that he thinks that there

437
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 2: is this version where joining the hive would be better.

438
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 2: We also have some classic isolation movies. Omega, man, I

439
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,919
Speaker 2: know we're both big. Richard Matheson Fancy wrote, I am

440
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 2: Legend the book it was based on, and this Vincent

441
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 2: Price movie is like so good, and I like that

442
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 2: this is kind of where he got a lot of

443
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 2: the isolation from. He says, you know, obviously Vincent Price

444
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 2: is like fighting vampires, but Carol is in the emptiness

445
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 2: of the sprout.

446
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:43,639
Speaker 3: She has to combine.

447
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 2: Sorry, yeah, it's it's it's I Am it's the Charlton

448
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 2: Heston in the Omega Man.

449
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:53,640
Speaker 3: Yeah. Such a good.

450
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 2: Movie, and obviously Carol does not have vampires killing her.

451
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 2: Vince says, maybe that's a red herring yet, but I

452
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 2: like that he kind of sees that liminal aspect. A

453
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 2: New Zealand movie I actually haven't seen, called The Choiet

454
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 2: Earth also on his list. Basically, just every other human vanishes,

455
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 2: only three people left and they have to have this

456
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 2: conversation about what happened. Obviously, the ones that really surprised

457
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:24,199
Speaker 2: me though, the Shining I think that is like so

458
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 2: tonally different from this show.

459
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 3: But I love that for Vince Gilligan, he.

460
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 2: Says, basically, like, you know, it's the creepy neighbor kids

461
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 2: that came from the creepy Twin Girls. You get the

462
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:41,439
Speaker 2: kind of acts that the Salamanca cousins have in Breaking

463
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 2: Bad that was inspired by the Shining this has been

464
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 2: something through his career. But really, for it's all about

465
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 2: the isolated writer who is drunk, who is unhappy, who

466
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 2: cannot find happiness. Obviously that is reflected in Carol then

467
00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 2: other ones. The thing obviously ultimate powerier kind of story,

468
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 2: so makes a lot of sense. Also turns out Vince

469
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:10,680
Speaker 2: Gilligan Great Great Taste has a lot of big Kurt.

470
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 3: Russell feelings and it meant a lot to him when Kurt.

471
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 2: Russell loved it. But the thing that is biggest here

472
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 2: is the monster's hiding among us. So there's kind of

473
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 2: these jewel themes of the isolation and the notion of

474
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 2: like not knowing the people who are around you. Truman

475
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 2: Show makes a lot of sense. Though again I also

476
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 2: think adds a very interesting wrinkle because he has never

477
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 2: ever watched The Truman Show. Vince Gilligan watch it, but

478
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 2: he said, you know, everyone brings it up on the

479
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 2: show all the time. It's one of the biggest influences

480
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:43,640
Speaker 2: for the writing crew. So I'm interested in that they

481
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 2: live one of my all time favorite John Carpenter movies,

482
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:53,399
Speaker 2: and that for him is like it's all about the action,

483
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 2: the overlords, that secret feeling of convincing people to wake

484
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 2: up and realize they are being subjugated, and that is

485
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 2: such a huge part of what he took. He says,

486
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 2: Pluribus actually owes a debt to that part of the

487
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 2: They Live and the final one, which you guys may

488
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 2: not have seen. I'm a big fan of this movie.

489
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 2: If you are an X Men fan, you have likely

490
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 2: been influenced by this movie without even knowing of it.

491
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 2: Village are the Damned, which is are you know, Midwich

492
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 2: Cuckoos fall sleep in England. When they wake up, they

493
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 2: start having babies, and all the babies are blonde.

494
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 3: It's very Umbrella Academy coded.

495
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 2: And suddenly the kids exhibit these crazy psychic powers and

496
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,680
Speaker 2: start to be able to take over the adults. And

497
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 2: he says that's actually one of the things he thought

498
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 2: about the most while writing the pilot for Pluribus and

499
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 2: trying to hit like all the kind of time honor

500
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 2: tropes of this possession, you know, invasion of the body,

501
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 2: snatches stuff, and he says that one is like throughout

502
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 2: the show, just a recurring echo. So if you guys

503
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 2: want to check those out, that list is on letterbox.

504
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 2: And I just think that is such an eclectic list

505
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 2: that it tells me, I still don't know where I'm going.

506
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 2: I just still can't tell what's gonna happen in episode.

507
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 1: I think it's the one thing, the one theme that

508
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 1: I'm seeing. It was the kind of feeling that I'm

509
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 1: seeing that is that I'm definitely getting from this show

510
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 1: is the idea that, like, you know, this body Snatcher's

511
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 1: idea where everybody gets assimilated into a borglike mentality. But

512
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 1: you know, with Omega Man and then I Am Legend later,

513
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 1: the thing about the vampires is they were, or at

514
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 1: least in the original novelization, the legend was the hero

515
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: of the story Charlton Heston in the case of Omega Man,

516
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 1: and then Will Smith in the case of I Am Legend,

517
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 1: it was the legend was the vampires talking about this crazy,

518
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 1: terrible killer of their.

519
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 2: Kind who was just constantly coming out and killing them

520
00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 2: and pulling.

521
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: And haunting them. And so the the idea is that

522
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 1: you know, these people have been assimilated, but they are

523
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 1: having their producing their own society and culture that the

524
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 1: hero of the story can't understand. And you do feel

525
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 1: that with Carol, like she whatever it is that the

526
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 1: hive Mind are doing They're doing something. And while I

527
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 1: agree with Carol that there is a definite lack of

528
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 1: consent in the way that this was achieved, they are

529
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 1: also there's also a consciousness and an agency that exists

530
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: there now that she's working against that she needs to

531
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 1: try and acknowledge on some level, like the fact that

532
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:45,479
Speaker 1: everybody was pissed at her, Like, we need to unpack

533
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 1: this a little bit, because what we've seen is like

534
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:51,719
Speaker 1: the hive Mind are generally cheerful, They're very eager to please.

535
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 1: If you ask them for something dangerous, they're going to

536
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 1: be they're going to feel weird about it. But we

537
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 1: never seen them really have a negative emotion. In fact,

538
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 1: we've seen them respond with paralysis to Carol's negative intense emotions.

539
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 1: So to see them be like kind of man at Carol, Yeah,

540
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 1: it's interesting.

541
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 3: Like they're very interesting.

542
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 1: They're upset.

543
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm intrigued by this because I talk about it

544
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 2: a lot, but I always bring up because it really

545
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 2: did stick with me. Years ago, I went to go

546
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 2: and see ABC's of Horror at fright Fest in London.

547
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 3: It was ABC's of Horror.

548
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 2: Too, and there was a short film that was the

549
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 2: O segment. It's twenty five, twenty six different movies, each

550
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 2: one with a different letter of the alphabet, and the

551
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 2: O was called Alacrisy and it's about it's a segment

552
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 2: about a world where the zombie apocalypse has happened. Zombies

553
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 2: are now the sentient ruling class, and they are putting

554
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 2: all the humans on trial who killed zombies.

555
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 3: And I thought it was such.

556
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 2: An interesting idea, and it's like a two and a

557
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 2: half minute movie. So I buy a gimi hata, and

558
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 2: I just I really love that element that he is

559
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 2: bringing here to that like okay, as you pointed out,

560
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 2: like yes, there was no consent, but now this is

561
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 2: the majority culture that is now living there and has

562
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 2: you know, a mind and allegedly a society. It's a

563
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 2: very interesting, complicated, sticky thing. And I think that's going

564
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 2: to make the next kind of half of the season

565
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 2: and hopefully continued into season two really.

566
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 3: Something to dig in.

567
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, in a way, that's going to make it not

568
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 2: as simple as it seems.

569
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 1: The other interesting implication is the wolves. I do not

570
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 1: think that they were sent to torment Carrol. I think

571
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 1: that they are reacting to a lack of food and

572
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 1: meaning that there's a lack of normal human garbage to scavenge. Yes,

573
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:50,480
Speaker 1: and also whatever happened whatever happened to all the dead

574
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 1: bodies that died during the changeover, they're not they can't

575
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 1: get to them. So I think they're attracted to the

576
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: smell of Helen Corps because it's the only eagally available

577
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 1: food stuff, which I think you know, in and of itself,

578
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 1: raises a lot of questions about like, what happens to

579
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 1: all the resources around here?

580
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 3: Really good? That's really good?

581
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 2: Okay, Yes, so many questions and I am so glad

582
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 2: that this show is hitting for you guys because it

583
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:23,200
