I'm Danielle Fischel, I'm writer Strong, 0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:50.560 and I'm Wilfordell. So today we are recapping season two 0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:55.640 episode twenty three Home, which is the season two finale. 0:07:56.120 --> 0:08:02.200 It originally aired May nineteenth, nineteen ninety five. Any thoughts 0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:07.679 you guys want to share before we jump into this episode? Wow, 0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:12.160 I love this episode. 0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:13.120 You love it. 0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:15.200 I love it. 0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:17.560 It's it's good. I it's very dramatic. 0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:20.320 It's very dramatic and very dramatic. 0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:21.520 I am very dramatic. 0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:22.920 You are very dramatic. 0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:25.880 And I guess the interesting thing that the overall thought 0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:29.920 to me is that it's it's it's strange how much 0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:34.200 the show shifts into Sean storyline, like into like Sean's 0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:36.720 world by the end of season two, like a two parter. 0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:39.800 Yeah, this episode and the one right before it feel 0:08:39.880 --> 0:08:40.679 like a two parter. 0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:44.000 It also feels like we haven't seen Corey in a while. 0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:46.640 Now, that's what I mean to end of the season, 0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:50.000 sort of moving away from Corey. 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:52.520 This much feels it's it's it's a bold move. 0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:55.120 It's a really interesting that I didn't I don't think 0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:58.920 I recognized that as how unusual that was, or maybe 0:08:58.920 --> 0:08:59.560 it wasn't unusual. 0:08:59.600 --> 0:09:01.240 Maybe it's just the natural evolution of the show. 0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:03.400 But watching it this time, I was like, Wow, Corey 0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:06.000 is really like Sean is just Sean's storyline? 0:09:06.080 --> 0:09:09.200 Is then the major thrust of the season ender, which 0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:09.959 is just a lot. 0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:12.520 Yeah, And I wonder how much of that is because 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:15.320 as we've discussed with multiple episodes that we've seen lately, 0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:18.480 like I really loved the Thriller and Philla episode. 0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:19.160 I think I was. 0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:22.120 You know, Will did too, writer, you were not a fan. 0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:27.240 So I think it seems as though, in my opinion, 0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:32.120 the storylines of Corey being in every Man and I'm 0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:36.199 never making my mark and how do I make myself different, 0:09:37.120 --> 0:09:41.160 we've reached a point where we've exhausted those storylines. We 0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:44.040 have done the very normal storyline of that, which is 0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:47.960 like the very relatable who am I? I'm not gorgeous, 0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:50.120 I'm not super smart, I'm just normal. 0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:51.280 We've done those episodes, and. 0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:53.960 Then we've done you know, crazy over the top episodes 0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:56.560 where Corey's a wrestler and it's pro wrestling. 0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:58.160 And we've get Yes, Me and Bleef and Robert Goula. 0:09:58.240 --> 0:09:59.680 It's like, we've exhausted those. 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:05.679 Now we need some real stakes and how do we 0:10:05.720 --> 0:10:06.079 do that. 0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:08.720 Let's do it through Sean and I. 0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:13.720 Yes, it's dramatic, but I love it. It feels way 0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:16.360 more interesting to me, you know, Like it makes Alan 0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:19.760 and Amy parents again, and obviously mister Turner a teacher 0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:21.120 slash parent again. 0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:24.280 It brings up all the tensions that the show sort 0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:26.160 of started with, which is like, how do you raise 0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:28.440 kids and you be a kid in the world, and 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:31.520 like it reignites all of the same. 0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:34.440 It brings back the characters to their sort of core 0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:35.160 and their essency. 0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:38.199 It stresses them out right, Like he stresses the situation 0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:41.160 out in the best possible way so that everybody has 0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:43.600 to sort of get back to who they really are. 0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:45.319 It's it's great storytelling. Yeah. 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:45.560 Yeah. 0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:49.280 It also we've clearly set up now through two seasons, 0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:52.680 no matter what happens to Corey, he's not going to 0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:55.720 quote unquote fail. There is a safe There are safety 0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:58.800 nets after safety nets after safety net. He's got his 0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:01.080 parents who were super invo He's got a brother who, 0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:03.080 even though his brother needles him and jokes at him, 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:04.880 is always there for him and will you know, jump 0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:08.360 over a hallway, you know, ledge to protect him if 0:11:08.400 --> 0:11:10.719 he needs to. He's got Foenie watching out for him, 0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:13.720 he's got Turner on his side. Like he's got Sean, 0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:16.439 a best friend who says, no matter what, you're Corey 0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:17.040 and I'm Sean. 0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:20.840 So like he's got a girl. 0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:25.480 There's like Corey's fine, Corey's fine. 0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:29.040 We have two seasons of setting up that Corey's life 0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:33.000 is gonna be fine on his own anxiety exactly if 0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:36.319 he can get out of his own way, he'll be golden. 0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:40.400 And but what we've also set up is that his 0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:44.400 very best friend is not necessarily going to be fine. 0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:50.080 And so opening up the next few seasons of let's 0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:54.520 see how this very stable Rock character can influence this 0:11:54.720 --> 0:12:01.920 very unstable, not protected is us find it. It's fascinating 0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:06.000 and way more interesting than continuing to see how secure 0:12:06.080 --> 0:12:06.840 Corey's life is. 0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:10.440 It's also it's just it's television too, where it's you know, 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:12.439 you're coming into season two, you're hoping there's going to 0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:14.680 be a season three. The only way a television show 0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:18.160 has legs is if every character is developed. Yes, So 0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:20.280 it's one of those things where you know, after a 0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:23.360 while watching Family Ties and it was like, well, we 0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:25.640 let's get into Justine Bateman's character. 0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:27.720 We need to know what the sister's like. We need 0:12:27.760 --> 0:12:27.960 to know. 0:12:28.120 --> 0:12:29.400 You see it on The Office, you see it on 0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:30.920 those shows where it's like, okay, if we're going to 0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:33.360 actually be one of those shows that lasts. 0:12:33.480 --> 0:12:34.680 Everybody's got a matter. 0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:37.680 Yeah, and it's and it's that's kind of where we 0:12:37.720 --> 0:12:39.959 are now. And it's I agree with Danielle hundred percent 0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:43.360 seeing there's something which again makes the idea that he 0:12:43.559 --> 0:12:46.120 then was off the show so crazy. But seeing you 0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:50.360 and Tony together, there's something about the two of you 0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:54.120 together that's great. And it's just it's him trying the 0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:56.040 way they've now made it where you know he needs 0:12:56.240 --> 0:12:58.040 we'll get into it. He needs something in his life 0:12:58.120 --> 0:13:00.480 and it's it. You think it's gonna be a woman, 0:13:00.480 --> 0:13:02.280 but it turns out to not be that. It's just 0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:04.200 it was really clever the way. 0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:05.679 That Tony is such a dramatic actor. 0:13:05.800 --> 0:13:09.680 He's so clearly remarkable because he clearly wasn't cast for 0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:12.760 that right and he's cast, but he just rises to 0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:16.840 being such a He's just he's a rock. You know, 0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:19.400 like you just believe you want him to be this 0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:22.640 father figure so bad, and he's so believable. He's so 0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:24.240 present and he doesn't. 0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:26.720 Yeah, there was a there was a movie of the 0:13:26.720 --> 0:13:30.200 Week that Tony did before he did Boy, and when 0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:32.040 we were friends, he was like, he showed it to 0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:33.800 me as a joke. He was like, you got to 0:13:33.800 --> 0:13:35.040 see his movie the week I did? 0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:36.320 It was both And. 0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:38.640 The last kind of scene, they're all he and his 0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:41.240 family are at a funeral and they're all sitting there 0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:43.520 and they pan past the family and it is one 0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:46.800 stereotypical grief after grief, and it's kind of a bad, 0:13:46.920 --> 0:13:49.800 cheesy acting, and you get to Tony, who's dead behind 0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:52.280 the eyes and tears streaming down his face, and you're like. 0:13:53.080 --> 0:13:54.200 That was this is amazing. 0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:57.480 You're amazing at that he just could hit these beats 0:13:57.480 --> 0:13:58.600 that we didn't see. 0:13:58.679 --> 0:13:59.640 He's not false at all. 0:13:59.679 --> 0:14:03.120 He's so he's so real, it's so present, it's easy. 0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:03.559 Great. 0:14:04.000 --> 0:14:07.000 Did you and Tony really work on developing? Like was 0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:10.760 that something you did? There are no external conversations about. 0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:13.000 That's what I don't remember. I just remember us. 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:15.760 I loved working with him. But it's so funny I 0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:19.880 don't remember talking about acting. I don't remember talking about 0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:23.240 our performances. I don't remember, Like I mean, there are times, 0:14:23.280 --> 0:14:25.200 you know, and they can think of where I like 0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:26.720 worked out things with people. 0:14:26.760 --> 0:14:28.440 But I feel like it was all instinct. 0:14:28.440 --> 0:14:30.640 Like I feel like we just because I didn't really 0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:33.240 I didn't know how to act. I just sort of 0:14:33.240 --> 0:14:34.720 showed up and did it, you know what I mean. 0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:37.040 And I think that we just worked together. We just 0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:39.360 have We just had this chemistry and it came alive. 0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:42.280 I mean I felt that not so much in this episode, 0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:43.800 but in the previous episode when I go to his 0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:47.640 apartment and end up eating the food and falling to sleep, Like, 0:14:47.880 --> 0:14:49.800 I just loved that scene. It was, you know, and 0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:51.360 I'm watching it, I was like, wow, I don't I 0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:53.960 don't remember this, but I just I just thought that 0:14:54.320 --> 0:14:56.400 the dynamic was Yeah, but no, I don't. We just 0:14:56.480 --> 0:14:59.240 had chemistry. We just had actor chemistry, you know, like whatever, Now, 0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:00.239 how lucky. 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:02.280 We are as because what you just said is so true. 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:03.800 I didn't know how to act either. You kind of 0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:05.280 just go and do it and then you learn on 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:05.960 your feet. 0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:09.520 A little bit. You know, how lucky we were. 0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:12.320 To have the adult actors we did around us doing 0:15:12.400 --> 0:15:16.280 what they did, Rusty and Bill and Betsy and Tony. 0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:18.960 I mean, we were only as good as those people 0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:21.080 we were watching and who were helping us along without 0:15:21.120 --> 0:15:23.600 even knowing they were helping us along. And man where 0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:26.080 we were and again we didn't, we didn't recognize it 0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:26.760 while we were there. 0:15:26.920 --> 0:15:29.760 We just it was so beneficial to have those actors 0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:30.000 with us. 0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:31.760 And that's a credit to Michael and to Sally and 0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:34.680 everybody who cast everybody who brought I mean, Alex and 0:15:34.760 --> 0:15:36.800 all the adults they brought in were just so good 0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:40.440 that we upped our game to be next to them. 0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:43.000 So we just took it for granted, right, We honestly 0:15:43.040 --> 0:15:45.480 don't think it was like I didn't think like, oh, 0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:48.640 it's remarkable that this thirty year old dude can act 0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:49.280 this well. 0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:51.400 It was just like, well, he's mister Turner and he's 0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:53.120 a good actor and he does actor. I would never 0:15:53.160 --> 0:15:54.200 have said Tony was bad. 0:15:54.200 --> 0:15:56.040 I always knew he was good, but I don't think 0:15:56.080 --> 0:15:59.320 I recognized what he was bringing to you know, this, this, 0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:01.239 these scenes, these characters, characters. 0:16:01.000 --> 0:16:01.800 It's incredible. 0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:06.440 Yeah, agreed, Well, let's jump in the synopsis. Is when 0:16:06.480 --> 0:16:09.040 Sean starts to feel like a burden to the Matthews. 0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:12.200 He sneaks out, only to find himself on mister Turner's 0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:16.040 doorstep yet again, and Eric tries to master the SATs 0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:20.160 by working for mister Feenie. So once again, this is 0:16:20.160 --> 0:16:25.720 like our first real serialized Ye we went from career 0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:26.440 day writing. 0:16:27.000 --> 0:16:29.120 Storyline is serialized, you know That's what I'm saying. 0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:32.400 Yeah, and they've turned Eric into Corey. So this is 0:16:32.440 --> 0:16:35.840 the start of really Eric and Feenie. I mean it's 0:16:35.880 --> 0:16:37.000 the same storyline where. 0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:38.360 You're gonna you're gonna work around the house. 0:16:38.360 --> 0:16:42.160 I mean that's such a first season Cory storyline. 0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:48.320 Yeah, exactly, and they've given it to Eric. They've completely 0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:51.080 given it to Eric, so so strange. Well. 0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:53.920 It was directed by David Traynor, written by Jeff Sherman, 0:16:54.080 --> 0:16:57.840 guest starring Jason Marsden as Jason Marsden, Blake Clark as 0:16:57.920 --> 0:17:01.640 Chet Hunter. Darlene Vogel is back as Catherine Kat Tompkins. 0:17:01.920 --> 0:17:02.200 Wow. 0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:05.360 She is in a lot of episodes, yes, right, and. 0:17:05.359 --> 0:17:08.000 Has like a major story point in this. It's not 0:17:08.200 --> 0:17:12.080 just of Toss, it's life changing drama. 0:17:12.200 --> 0:17:14.359 And the two of them. Yeah, and she's great. 0:17:14.440 --> 0:17:19.680 If she's fantastic, and no recollection, no recollection at all. 0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:21.000 I thought she did one or two. 0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:23.200 Maybe I remember her because of her eye and because 0:17:23.200 --> 0:17:23.959 of Back to the Future. 0:17:24.040 --> 0:17:27.040 That's all that I remember, so that she was this. 0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:30.480
